Ordinarily, we review the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a criminal conviction de novo. United States v. Walker, F. However, we review only for plain error where a defendant moved for judgment of acquittal on sufficiency-of- the-evidence grounds before the district court, but failed to articulate the specific sufficiency-of-the-evidence claim later raised on appeal. Hunerlach, F. Gresham, F. Rodriguez, F. Young, F. Vera, F. To show a false claim under 18 U.
Slocum, F. Beasley, F. A defendant may be convicted for theft of government property under 18 U. McRee, 7 F. To show a conspiracy under 18 U. Campa, F. Harmas, F. HUD ensured that the funding allocated to BHA was spent properly through an annual review of its annual agency plan, including its past and future expenditures, and an annual independent financial audit.
In the event of noncompliance with the regulations, BHA was required to provide an explanation and correct the error. See 24 C. This evidence established that there was a joint federal-state program between BHA, a state-created entity, and HUD, a federal agency, to provide public housing for low income households. While Trent did not directly submit false claims to HUD, BHA eventually submitted those past expenditures to HUD in its annual agency plan and the independent financial audit, which HUD reviewed on an annual basis to ensure compliance with the regulations.
See Beasley, F. To receive funding under the contract, BHA was required to provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing to low income households, and it was required to comply with HUD's regulations. Laurie and Calvin bore me to tears. A few weeks ago she stumbled all over the newscast when we had hail in Broward county.
Viewers want competent weather coverage regardless of race, gender, etc. Apparently she thinks her viewers are all ignorant and want to see bimbos delivering the weather. God help us all in south Florida during hurricane season if we have to rely on Judy and Betty for accurate forecasts. Changing stations during the week. I too have changed from channel 10 since the new weather format was added. Betty and Judy are pretty to look at?????????
If Trent and Scott are not returned we will not be watching channel 10 except on weekends. Advertisers will soon get the message I hope. I am boycotting WPLG as of yesterday!
I have always watched their weekday AM show, but not anymore. I will only be watching the Local 10 weekend morning show, as I did this past weekend. Please, these changes were long overdue. Trent, Scott, and Jason are honestly all horrible.
Having to suffer through their meandering dribble and lame jokes is simply excruciating. They lack any kind of hometown feel and originality and Kristi Krueger was the icing on the cake. Who knows what the hell she was talking about at times. Betty Davis is a welcome addition back to the real world. She may seem odd because the rest of the anchor team is so shallow. Pat W. I am not sure what station you are watching. Betty D. She is from the Atlanta area. According to her bio, went to school there, worked around there.
This appears to be the first time she has ventured far from home. She is over the top annoying in her phrases and mannerisms. Very forced. My contacts at 10 tell me she has drug issues as well and that is the reason for the extreme skinny frame and extreme nervousness covered by strange analogies.
I am also told she will not be the Chief Meteorologist because she is not qualified and that 10 will not have a Chief. I will agree with you Pat that Jason needs to go. Good looking man, but obnoxious. Scott and Trent in my opinion were great. Betty is a downgrade. No one is from the general region.
The trio comes off as very stand offish and hand picked based on looks, in my opinion. Betty coming from the Atlanta area, just makes me respect her more knowing how hard it is for a woman come up in a male dominated field without looking and acting like a swimsuit model. Competence reigns supreme and as stated before, superficiality blew up in their face. Susan…Dumbest post of the week. Who are your sources? Who are you is probably a better question?
People come in all shapes and sizes. Betty is not a druggy at all. She is simply thin. Nothing wrong with that. If you have not noticed…. Post a pic up of yourself. Betty is as qualified to be Chief as Trent…. I do believe most of the posts here are current WPLG employees or folks from competing stations or folks who use to be on-air back in the day……and not the viewing base which really matters as ratings are KING.
What does that say about some of these negative comments? Easy to hide behind your keyboard aint it? Trent and Scott are both outstanding weathermen….. It is what it is. TV news is no diff than a TV show…and has undertones of casting. Here today…gone tomorrow. They will be fine I am certain. She was there post-affiliation switch until they started making big name hires like Soper and Norcross. I stand corrected on that. Eric also add the first African American meteorologist as the lead.
Trina Robinson is the first one but Betty Davis is the first lead. W I totally agree with you she is different and she shows more realness than the other ones. No Betty Davis is not on drugs she is a vegetarian and always was skinny. Betty did a good job today delivering the weather report. I believe its more of Post-Newsweek in Detroit that is actually making those on-air talent decisions. She also, has toned the slutty dressing a little bit. Jen Herrera should have stayed in the evenings.
Constance is pretty good anchoring the news with Jason and show a better chemistry than Jen. Jacey Birch does come off as fake but she is a strong reporter and Ross Polombo should be promoted to weekend evening anchor. Next thing the station should do is change the set and music and end the sharing of helicopter video with Ch. Everyone should stop hating on Betty Davis give her a chance!!! Remember when Don Noe left and Trent Aric took over everyone was negative of the change but Trent did prove himself.
So it was not WPLG management but the company choice that was made. Also, Kristi Krueger may be leaving soon, but she is a great health reporter. The demotion to just noon anchor happened to Diane Magnum then later booted. I agree with you about Betty…I really like her and her personality. Honestly, what is so great about Max Mayfield?
All he did is draw circles on the map and really, could anybody understand what he was saying? Still not keen on Julie Durda although quite surprised to see her skirt at her knees today. But she does not have a good voice for reporting. Never watched WSVN with all the women in the morning. Looks like a plastic surgery office. But I know that working with all women byotches is horrible. Besides, I like GMA and could not watch 4 hours of repetitive news with the same people.
As far as Jacey Birch…. I like her better as a field reporter or on special assignments than as an anchor behind the desk. Watching her is like listening to the fairy god mother reading fairy tales to children waving her magical wand. And when she introduces the next person for sports or weather she says such stupid ad-libs that to me come across as unnatural and awkward. However, I think she did the traffic reports better than anybody.
And, I do appreciate her concern and compassion for animals. I agree that Jacey is a good reporter and did great work on the traffic reports. Only she has the talent to report something so boring and uninteresting like traffic with so much enthusiasm and passion. It never dawned on me that came across so fake on the anchor desk but those dogs from the animal shelters really, really like her.
I wanted to set a few things straight after reading the posts on this blog. According to management, the station is doing away with that title. Betty is not qualified to be a chief. She lacks the meteorological knowledge, computer competency and management skills to run the office.
It would be weird to have two other meteorologists in the office Scott and Trent that are more educated and more credible reporting to her. Things have been awkward at WPLG.
According to them the decision to move Trent was forced on them by the new CEO Emily Barr who wanted to see a woman during the week because all the other stations had men on during the weeknight.
Add to that the research WPLG conducted that showed they registered really low in the african-american community. The motto around here is white men need not apply. It is no secret that WPLG has slipped in the ratings especially with the new meters and according to the research firm a large number of those meters are in african-american homes which is why WPLG is going after that demographic. It is a ratings grab by management to keep their jobs.
The handling of all the moves has been very unprofessional. Secrets, lies and rumors have plagued the newsroom for months and continue about more moves to come Calvin Hughes, Will Manso. Pohovey has made it clear to several of us in the newsroom that he does not agree with the move to switch Trent to weekends. This move was made solely on race and gender, based on research, nothing more.
We will see how it all plays out. Betty has already stirred things up in a negative way with her demands to management and newsroom producers now that she is in the new time slot.
She is making it clear all she wants to do is show up, put on makeup and go on tv like she did at the weather channel. Things are bad and the moral at the station is horrible. They had Scott training his replacement Julie Durda. Max is supposedly unhappy about the move, Julie has made it clear upon her arrival that she came to WPLG to work with Max and Trent not Betty and according to her around here in the morning this week informed her agent to keep her on the market. So we are changing writing style, staff, promos, music, design and concept.
This is not going over well in the newsroom. There has been a mass exodus of producers, writers and executive producers over the past few months. I am not far behind. It has become a miserable place to work. Trent was doing the morning show somewhere before being the chief here.
So how is Betty not qualified or less qualified??? Do tell.. Killing me with the comments… SMH. The comments about Betty and Julie are absurd as well. That is funny…but you get no trophy for that one. If Betty wants to come in and doll up as you put it and do her thing…. Did Trent have someone producing his shows so that he could show up and go on air? You dig a lil deeper on that one…. Moving on…. The problem as I have come to understand it….
Come on… less than people watching the morning show M-F??? That is horrible. Viewership like that is no longer acceptable. The new CEO wants both revenue and ratings. Change is in the air my friend whether you like it or not. I think what happened is that WTVJ returned from the grave last year and caught everyone with their pants down. I enjoy watching the news and like when it is reported in a professional, interesting manner by people I like to watch.
Betty has never produced her own work in her entire career. She was nothing but a weather girl on the Weather Channel. The real meteorologist are behiind the camera doing the forecasting and graphics. All she does is show up, put on her wig, lots of make-up and read her script.
Compare old photos too. She appears anorexic now. The Weather Channel…it is a major network. What do you expect? I would be willing to bet she has produced Trents shows for the last year…. Ok…she is not your cup of tea and you are buddies with the old crew and you guys play in the sand box together…I get it…. Why marginalize her with your depth-less comments?
Subsequently, this thread will revive itself…. Mgmt said their hands were forced huh? Being dead last in ratings does not sit well with leadership… Simple. Prove that one to us…. Betty is okay but looks way too thin. Betty Davis joined the local 10 weather team in the fall of If she looks familiar, perhaps you remember her from The Weather Channel.
Betty spent nearly five years on the national scene working as an on-camera meteorologist for the network. Betty has worked in several television markets, including Macon, Ga. While in the Tarheel State, she braved crippling ice storms and traveled to the Carolina and Gulf coasts to file reports on hurricane preparedness.
Betty has worked with some of the best and brightest in the business, including severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes. Forbes was on the development team of the Enhanced Fujita Scale — the scale that rates tornadoes. From severe thunderstorms to land-falling hurricanes, Betty has extensive experience covering major weather events.
She holds a B. Also, she holds a B. Betty is a native of Preston, Ga. When she is not standing in front of a weather map, she is dreaming up new and creative ways to deliver the weather story for the day and trying to keep up with her 4-year-old son, preteen stepson and husband.
So we are going to rely on an English major to forecast during hurricane season???? Mark D…. These folks cover global weather events. Not just lil ole South Florida. Another fact for the uninformed…. Mark, by your comments you must be her husband or her agent. All you are typing is a bunch of fluff and phooey.
About the hair….. Sorry that upsets you. She does NOT produce her own work and does no forecasting. We all know why she was moved to primetime and it is sad. If I was her I would be embarassed. I am a student of the industry if you will…. Betty Jean Trent Shoen. Echovita offers a solidarity program that gives back the funds generated to families.
