Granger Properties leases space to Navy Federal Credit Union ...

???? Navy Federal Credit Union has signed a lease for 80,000 square feet at 3300 North Pace Blvd. Pensacola, FL, located within the Town and Country Shopping Center. This building was the former home of Network Telephone and the Cavalier Call Center. This space will house up to 400 employees. The building is currently undergoing renovation and it is expected that Navy Federal will begin using the facility in February 2013.

???? The building at 3300 N. Pace is owned by Armillary Investments, a joint venture with Granger Development, Inc. The building was brokered to Armillary in May of 2012 by Granger Properties, LLC. Granger Properties was also the commercial real estate firm representing the ownership of the property for lease, and Jones Lang LaSalle, out of Tampa, FL, represented the Tenant. The listing generated interest from many large national companies, and there were multiple offers to lease the property.

???? ?We are excited to lease this property to such a fantastic tenant, as their growing presence is truly a boon to our area?s economy. ? ? Sonny Granger

Xi for vendetta? Revolutionary movie airs in China, raising hopes that censorship might ease

BEIJING, China - Television audiences across China watched an anarchist antihero rebel against a totalitarian government and persuade the people to rule themselves. Soon the Internet was crackling with quotes of "V for Vendetta's" famous line: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

The airing of the movie Friday night on China Central Television stunned viewers and raised hopes that China is loosening censorship.

"V for Vendetta" never appeared in Chinese theatres, but it is unclear whether it was ever banned.

Some commentators and bloggers think the broadcast could be CCTV producers pushing the envelope of censorship, or another sign that the ruling Communist Party's newly installed leader, Xi Jinping, is serious about reform.

China's authoritarian government strictly controls print media, television and radio.

Military Abortion Amendment Is Included In Final Defense Bill

A bipartisan conference committee of House and Senate members approved an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill on Tuesday that will extend the insurance coverage of abortion to military women who have been raped.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's (D-N.H.) amendment to the defense bill lifts a decades-long ban on abortion coverage for military rape victims. Since 1981, military women have not had the same level of health coverage that civilian employees, Medicaid recipients, and even federal prisoners receive from their government-issued insurance plans. High-profile supporters of the amendment include former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

The Senate unanimously passed the amendment in early December, but the House version of the defense bill did not include a similar amendment. A bipartisan conference committee that included Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.), ranking member Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), House Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), and ranking member Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) agreed on Tuesday to include the amendment in the final version of the bill approved by both chambers.

?With the inclusion of my amendment in the final defense bill, we?ve made an important step to restoring equity to military service women,? Shaheen said in a statement. ?After three decades of a policy that discriminated against women who put their lives on the line for us, I?m proud of my colleagues in both Houses of Congress and of both parties who are going to allow us to right this wrong."

The House is expected to vote on the final version of the bill later this week.

McDonald's COO urges franchisees to open on Christmas: Ad Age

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp is urging U.S. restaurant owners to take the unusual step of opening on Christmas Day to deliver the world's biggest hamburger chain with the gift of higher December sales, AdvertsingAge reported on Monday.

The request - which comes as McDonald's tangles with resurgent rivals such as Wendy's , Burger King and Yum Brands' Taco Bell chain - would be a break from company tradition of closing on major holidays.

"Starting with Thanksgiving, ensure your restaurants are open throughout the holidays," Jim Johannesen, chief operations officer for McDonald's USA, wrote in a November 8 memo to franchisees - one of two obtained by AdvertisingAge.

"Our largest holiday opportunity as a system is Christmas Day. Last year, (company-operated) restaurants that opened on Christmas averaged $5,500 in sales," Johannesen said.

"The decision to open our restaurants on Christmas is in the hands of our owner/operators," McDonald's spokeswoman Heather Oldani told Reuters.

Don Thompson took over as chief executive at McDonald's in July and has the difficult task of growing sales on top of last year's strong results in a significantly more competitive environment.

McDonald's monthly global sales at established restaurants fell for the first time in nine years in October, but unexpectedly rebounded in November.

The November surprise was partly due to a 2.5 percent rise in sales at U.S. restaurants open at least 13 months.

"Our November results were driven, in part, by our Thanksgiving Day performance," Johannesen wrote in a December 12 memo to franchisees.

Oldani said 1,200 more McDonald's restaurants were open on Thanksgiving this year versus last year - not 6,000 more as AdvertisingAge reported.

Still, the company has a high hurdle when it comes to posting an increase in restaurant sales this month because its U.S. same-restaurant sales jumped 9.8 percent in December 2011.

"It's an act of desperation. The franchisees are not happy," said Richard Adams, a former McDonald's franchisee who now advises the chain's owner/operators.

The push to open on the holidays goes against McDonald's cultural history, said Adams. In his first published operations manual, McDonald's Corp founder Ray Kroc said the company would close on Thanksgiving and Christmas to give employees time with their families, Adams said.

"We opened for breakfast on Thanksgiving the last couple years I was a franchisee. It was easy to get kids to work on Thanksgiving because they want to get away from their family, but not on Christmas," Adams said.
