Legislature reaches gun compromise
CT employment stagnates UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FEBRUARY 2013
across campus exercised their pranking muscles yesterday in celebration of April Fools’ Day. Some pranksters strung red and yellow banners reading “Going out of business” and “Everything 75% off” from Sterling Memorial Library, while Branford Master Elizabeth Bradley MPH ’95 GRD ’96 told her students in a Monday email that she would retire at the end of the year and merge Branford with JE to form either “Branward” or “Jonathan Bran.” Of course, Bradley assured students that the God Quad will continue to exist.

two of the state’s 10 economic “supersectors,” government and manufacturing, registered gains last month, adding 900 and 400 jobs, respectively. The gains in government were at the local and federal levels, while durable goods led manufacturing’s upward movement. In an email to the News, Juliet Manalan, a press secretary for Gov. Dannel Malloy, shifted focus from February’s job losses to recently revised employment figures that suggest Connecticut added 10,000 private sector jobs in 2012. Mana-
Over three months after a gunman killed 26 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., state legislators announced a bipartisan compromise Monday on new gun restrictions. The compromise, which State Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney called the most comprehensive in the nation, comes after months of contentious negotiations and is likely to be voted on this week. It includes new bans on the sale or purchase of high capacity magazines and certain semi-automatic assault weapons, a registry for frequent weapons offenders, universal background checks and a requirement of a gun permit to buy ammunition. To the disappointment of gun-control advocates, however, the deal includes a “grandfather” clause, allowing those already in possession of the newly banned assault weapons or magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds to keep them, provided they submit to a registration process. “Some of the suggestions are good, and some we were disappointed a little bit — especially on the magazines. We wanted them to be eliminated totally,” Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman told the News Monday. “But a lot of the bill is good.” The compromise would expand the state’s existing assault weapons ban from 60 specific weapons to over 160, including the Bushmaster AR-15 used by Adam Lanza in the December shooting, in addition to altering the definition of an assault weapon. Under the new ban, weapons with only one, rather than two, of the military characteristics specified in the law would be illegal to buy or sell. Should the legislation be signed into law,

Obama has announced his intention to nominate Brian Deese LAW ’09 to deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. Deese is currently the deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the National Economic Council.
This month, Yale solidified plans to collaborate with an online educational program that operates in Spain, Portugal and Latin America in an effort to extend the University’s global reach. On March 13, President-elect Peter Salovey and Emilio Botìn, president of the online educational network Universia, formed a partnership to foster global education and increase international career opportunities for Yale students. Universia, which is made up of over 1,000 universities serving 10.1 million students and has relationships with universities from 23 different Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries, seeks to encourage virtual collaboration among universities across the world. Under the new agreement, Universia will offer translation services into Spanish and Portuguese for Yale Open Courses, work with Yale’s Undergraduate Career Services and Graduate Career Services to provide a new pool of internships, and translate selected articles for Yale Environment 360, an on-campus environment and climate change journal. “Through our alliance with Universia, Yale will gain greatly expanded modes of career development, educational outreach, and communication on environmental issues,” Salovey said in a statement to the Yale community. “This important support reflects the multifaceted nature of our

Despite a marginal fall in the unemployment rate, Connecticut’s labor market remained lethargic in February. Jobs data, released last week by the Department of Labor, put last month’s unemployment rate at 8 percent, a tenth of a point lower than January’s rate. But the decrease was accompanied by a payroll job loss of 5,700 and the 28th straight month of contraction in the labor force, which shrunk by 7,600. Collectively, the numbers put Connecticut’s unemployment
rate three-tenths of a point higher than the national average, which at 7.7 percent is at its lowest since December 2008. “The data do reflect what is going on in the economy. We have a state that is not growing as rapidly as some of the other states in the country,” said Patrick Flaherty, an economist in the state’s Department of Labor. “There is some real concern that we came out of the recession pretty well, but over the past year we’ve kind of lost some momentum and are now growing but at maybe half the rate that the rest of the country is growing.” The report suggested that only

He doesn’t bite. In a striking display of cheeky ingenuity, a New Haven police officer successfully frightened two wanted men out of a house on Friday by imitating a barking police dog, according to the New Haven Register. Following a car chase, the two criminals were spotted inside a mostly abandoned house. After the officers threatened to release the canines, which were not actually present, one officer decided to imitate a barking dog instead. It worked, and the suspects surrendered.

Two days later, on Feb. 21, Connecticut State Rep. Gary HolderWinfield, who is also vying for the mayor’s office, signed a participation affidavit with the Democ-
racy Fund, which limits individual campaign donations to $370 or less in return for a $19,000 grant and matching funds of up to $125,000. Though Krayeske belatedly announced Monday that HolderWinfield would officially be participating in the Fund, he added that the candidate has not yet qualified SEE ELECTION PAGE 8
