Q & A with Jill Rizika, executive director, Towards Employment
Originally Published:

Jill Rizika
According to Jill Rizika, executive director of the nonprofit Towards Employment in Cleveland, there are 1.9 million Ohioans who have a misdemeanor or felony record -- 1 in 6 Ohioans.
And, she stressed, it is important to recognize that people with a criminal justice history are a very diverse group and approach the prospect of re-entering the work force from many different starting points.
Rizika, who last month was among those recognized as part of a White House program that calls attention to work being done to facilitate employment opportunities for people with criminal records, recently took time to answer questions from
Crain's Cleveland Business.
What are some of the top issues facing those trying to re-enter the work force from the criminal justice system?
This is a group of people that represents all categories of education, income, race and previous work experience. And not everyone who has a felony has been to prison.
One thing they do have in common is facing employer reluctance to hire someone with a criminal background. Surveys of employers indicate that a criminal background is one of the most cited reasons why an employer would not hire, over any other type of barrier, expressing concerns about safety, liability, reaction on the part of customers, etc.
Collateral sanctions:
Too many occupations are closed to people with a felony conviction due to broad-based bans on access to state licenses or specific jobs triggered by the felony conviction, regardless of their skills, the nature of their conviction, the time that has passed since the conviction or the amount of rehabilitation achieved by the individual. While Ohio passed criminal justice reform legislation that addressed some of these sanctions, many remain.
Networks and up-to-date skills:
Returning citizens may lack a strong/expansive network to gain access to good quality career opportunities, and since we know many employers hire based upon referrals, this is a disadvantage. And, with the rapidly changing needs of the workplace, being out of the work force for a period of time may lead to a need to retool skills in order to be competitive.
Additional issues arise when someone had limited work experience or educational attainment prior to their involvement with the criminal justice system.
And, no matter what someone's skill set, returning citizens often face challenges with housing, transportation, reintegration with family and community — all of which make the job search more challenging.
♦ What would you say to an employer with concerns about hiring someone with a criminal history?
We would encourage employers to review their own hiring policies to be sure that they are not missing out on exemplary candidates who may have made mistakes but are ready, prepared and qualified to work.
Best practices for fair hiring policies provide for individualized consideration. Don't automatically exclude someone because they indicate they have a background. Take into consideration their fit in terms of skills and experience. Look at the conviction and whether it is relevant to the job responsibilities. Also consider time passed since the offense and track record since then.
Partner with organizations like Towards Employment, which can provide prescreened candidates who have successfully completed programming to build employability and technical skills and can provide follow-up supports to strengthen job retention performance; and use tools available, such as the federal bonding program, which provides employers with a free $5,000 fidelity bond (http://bit.ly/OhioFedBonding).
Employers can also save money on their federal income taxes in the form of a tax credit incentive through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit program, which provides up to $2,400 per employee with a felony record (http://jfs.ohio.gov/wotc); and ask applicants whether they have applied for a Certificate of Qualification for Employment (CQE). Employers that hire workers with CQE's are protected from negligent hiring liability.
Also, take into account other employers' experiences, not just locally but across the country.
At a national forum at the White House earlier this month, the senior vice president of human resources at Johns Hopkins Health Systems shared that her company has been successful at hiring employees with criminal records because of its screening and thoughtful placement of all hires, which includes individualized assessments to match people to the right job (for example, they will not put someone with a drug history in the pharmacy department).
Of the 5,000 people they hired last year, 5% had criminal records, and she emphasized that there had never been a problem with any of these employees.
"Don't look at this as a social program, and don't look at it as being altruistic. Look at it as a business decision,' she said.
♦ What effect did the recession have on the number of opportunities available to those with criminal records?
The recession reduced opportunities for so many people with any gaps or blemishes. Often we saw people taking jobs for which they were overqualified, crowding out those with less education or experience but who had qualifications that matched the job requirements.
That said, Towards Employment was able to increase the number of individuals with criminal justice involvement placed in jobs each year over the period 2009-2013. That suggests that with the right supports and employer engagement, good opportunities can be found to match qualified candidates with employer needs, even in a challenging economy.
♦ In 2011, the city of Cleveland joined the "ban the box' movement. Has that had any type of ripple effect on the region?
The city of Cleveland made a statement about the importance of fair hiring practices by joining the ban the box movement. Cuyahoga County followed in their footsteps in 2012.
While these policies only apply to hiring by the city and county governments, they are setting an example and demonstrating that this approach can lead to greater opportunities for qualified candidates in a responsible manner without creating greater liability or sacrificing customer service or public safety.
♦ What types of tools and programs are most effective in helping to transition former prisoners into the work force?
As noted above, not all are starting from the same place in terms of job readiness, educational backgrounds, technical skills, work experience or career goals — all factors in determining how best to help someone successfully gain and retain employment and advance along a career pathway.
One key factor in effective programming is that the person is able to access the right supports to close the gap between where they are starting from and their employment goals, given what employers say they need in terms of qualifications and experience.
In addition, not all formerly incarcerated or others with a felony conviction have the same risk factors for recidivism, and the same approach to customizing services with regard to these factors should apply.
Towards Employment was recently awarded a federal grant that will allow us to apply these best practices in Cleveland to build career pathways in three targeted industries where there is projected job growth: manufacturing, construction and hospitality.
We will provide an integrated set of services to help both with life skills and social supports as well as academic and technical skill-building to create truly competitive candidates to help fill the work force needs of our local employers.

Sorry, there are currently no sellers for this product.
This is a heart-stopping forensic action with a lethal twist. The Virals' home on Loggerhead Island is under threat, and only one thing can save it: a lot of money. A 300-year-old legend Rumour has it that notorious pirate Anne Bonny hid her treasure somewhere in Charleston in 1720. No-one knows where, but Tory Brennan - great-niece of famous forensic anthropologist Dr Tempe Brennan - is certain that the Virals can work out Bonny's cryptic clues. A deadly path, it isn't long before the Virals are on the right track. But they aren't the only ones searching for the treasure. Someone is following them, and will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. Dead bodies litter the trail. Time is running out before the island will be sold. Will the Virals' special powers be enough to save them?

The list of 'new paradigm' technologies that now surrounds us appears to be at an all time high. From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT. This is disruption; of course, we understand that – change is almost always disruptive.

Youth is available on vinyl and DVD only, making it unplayable on a CD player . . . and they have the gall to advertise this as if it were a good thing! A harlot might as well advertise her open sores as lubricant! They think us fools. We have not forgotten that packaging a CD and DVD together, an all-but-common practice today, adds little to the price. Could it be that the special DVD files -- which can theoretically be ripped into WAV files and burned, if you have the technology to do it -- are easier to track on the Internet? Could it be that the advantages of this system are not for the listener, but instead for the record company? Is it possible that a record company could put greed first? Does Courtney Love puke in the woods?
Fatwa! May remainder bins overflow with this album! May it be used as coasters by those who accidentally acquire it. May The Sun reap what it sows.
It is written.

I purchased the size 7, I am always size 7. My big toe went right to the end with a thin sock on, so I had to order the next size up. So I'd say they run a little small for this particular one, if that info helps anyone. The size 8 are great and roomy enough for a heavy sock, luv them in the Sage green color. cheers
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

beautiful but size seems to change
By caelyn
from Lethbridge, Alberta
These are beautiful and well made. In the past I have bought 4 different pairs and loved them all and was looking forward to adding these to my growing collection. My only complaint is the sizing is not consistent, therefore the 4 star rating. I have fairly wide feet and never had a problem with fit before, but these ones were uncomfortably tight for me. Sadly, I must return these beautiful shoes but will continue to buy in hopes I get a pair that fit.

Ferguson uses freewheeling energy to win audience over
"It's different from the TV, isn't it?," "Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson cheekily asked the audience about halfway through his 75-minute stand-up set Friday night at a near-capacity Pabst Theater.
With hundreds of "F" bombs and a fascination with clitoris jokes, this was definitely a different kind of Ferguson from the late night CBS variety. And it was a different experience for Ferguson as well, made obvious by an overzealous heckler who tried to interrupt the set a number of times right out of the gate. (Ferguson wittily put her in her place, and she eventually quit . . . or perhaps security took her out.) »Read Full Article

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela will begin repatriating its gold reserves from Western nations by mid-November, the central bank head said on Wednesday.

These days, why wouldn't every country want their own gold? They can save on the vault fees, and house it themselves.
Certinly. All peoples of all countries want their gold near them

Vietnam's central bank has allowed five banks and Saigon Jewelry Co (SJC), the country's top gold trader, to reopen offshore gold trading accounts to help narrow the gap between domestic and international prices, state-run media said on Thursday.
The six institutions will sell up to six tonnes of gold from their stock to increase supply in the domestic market, an online report of the official Thanh Nien newspaper said. ...
Beware of China's Pan Asia Gold Exchange grand opening June, 2012.

Average Chinese has been able to buy and own physical gold since the opening of the Shanghi Gold Exchange in 2002. With the new Pan Asian Gold Exchange, the Chinese peoples' ability to own gold and Silver has been expanded by enabling them to buy it online, analysts added

the gold stored in other nations was before Chavez became ruler of Venezuela.
RE: the gold stored in other

As much as Chavez detests the U.S., it was hard to imagine why he would have gold stored here.
It will be interesting to see if his demands are met by all of the countries which store his gold.

monster. It had a few problems during the burnout but once the driver got
into it he showed the tyres no mercy.

Light weight
User: Lonnie Harpool, Florida
I purchased the 996 tennis shoe for my husband. He has always worn a New Balance shoe but this one is up and above anything he has ever had. He plays tennis 4 days a week. This tennis shoe is very light weight and makes his ability to move better with less weight on his feet. I have purchased two pair for him and plan to purchase another pair soon. He says they are great. The shoes were delivered in a very timely fashion. KH
Gear Experience
User: Ed Diket, MS
The customer service could not have been better--experienced contact and prompt service. I was a bit dissapointed in the New Balance shoes, however. The 996 line seems to have a much more narrow toe box and I will probably avoid this brand in the future.

The internet kind of has information on it. We'll actually bring you the latest as this story unfolds.
FTFY, kind of in the style of the actual summary.
(Apologies, kind of. Poor writing style actually annoys me.)
I am so like totally with you on that one.
You don't read the right kind of websites. The reason why the coke business is thriving is that it has the blessing of the Secret Government who has agents in South America injecting a DNA marker in the raw product so drug users can be detected and prevented from joining the Secret Government. This strategy was inspired by the bomb-sniffing dogs who actually can't detect bombs but rather are sensitive to a specific compound injected in the explosives for the purpose of detection.
As for designer drugs (aka the generics of the illegal drug trade): they are a shameful byproduct of greed and are standing in the way of chemical innovation by depriving mainstream drug labs from a large proportion of the revenue they should get. Like the Goophone.
You know that you would and there is no point pretending otherwise.
I dunno man. I'm on my third cup this morning, and if I were told I couldn't have my fourth without smoking some pole, I'd be tempted.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

When President Barack Obama delivered the commencement address at West Point on May 22, he outlined a vision for an "international order" that would "resolve the challenges of our times" — from "stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials" to "combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth."
Controversy Over U.S. Base in OkinawaWritten by Super User
The British Guardian newspaper on May 21 quoted from a statement made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to reporters in Tokyo that a dispute between the United States and Japan over the future of a U.S. airbase in Okinawa would not affect the countries' "rock solid" 50-year-old alliance.
Taliban Bomb Attack on NATO in KabulWritten by Super User
A Taliban suicide car bomber struck a NATO convoy in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, on May 18, killing six military personnel — five Americans and one Canadian — the AP reported, citing a statement from military and Afghan officials.
CNN reported May 14 that "the White House is asking Congress to approve $205 million to help Israel build a new short-range rocket defense system" called the Iron Dome that is "designed to intercept incoming rockets fired from Lebanon and Gaza." The security system "addresses Israelis' worries about errant rockets being fired into their homes," CNN quoted a senior Obama administration official as saying.
Item: In an article entitled, "Republicans expected to line up behind New START," the Associated Press reported on April 9: "Despite near gridlock in the Senate, Republicans were expected to swing behind a new arms control treaty with Russia that President Barack Obama said they will like, even though some are reserving judgment until Obama can assure them the pact won't set back U.S. defenses against other potential foes such as North Korea and Iran. Obama called the pact signed Thursday a fresh beginning with Russia and predicted the Senate will ratify the agreement by the end of the year."

Phoenix Suns
ESPN: Suns' future remains fairly bleak
The Phoenix Suns have worked hard to get themselves in position to turn things around.
A lottery team for three consecutive seasons following a trip to the Western Conference Finals, they've gone through a couple general managers as well as a couple different coaches.
The hope is that the combination of Ryan McDonough as GM and Jeff Hornacek as coach will stabilize things, and a bevy of draft picks over the next few years will help get the team back on track.
However, the folks over at ESPN.com are not terribly optimistic about the franchise's trajectory.
In their latest "Future Power Rankings," which is an Insider piece, Phoenix comes in at No. 29. Of 30 teams.
The overall ranking is based on a criteria that includes players (30th), management (29th), money (25th), market (11th) and draft (3rd).
Saying that bad draft picks, poor free agent decisions and misguided trades have set them back, Chad Ford (who wrote the Suns section) notes that there is some hope going forward.
The Suns have the No. 5 and No. 30 picks in this year's draft and have a total of six first-round picks in the next three years. They also got a small bump in Management thanks to the hiring of former Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough.
But other than that? Not much. With no cornerstones for the Suns to build around, it's going to be grim for a while. The loaded 2014 draft might be their best way out of the mire.
Indeed, the 2014 draft is regarded to boast one of the better crops of talent of any in recent memory. But if the Suns are in as rough shape as ESPN seems to believe, even that might not be enough to get them going again.

tulip bulbs, timing for Easter , and flowering
I now have a couple thousand Darwin and Pastel type tulip bulbs in cold storeage,,my idea was to pot them and have then ready for bloom to sell for Easter....I have a small greenhouse that stays around 60 inside now ...i need to know when to plant them ,so they are flowering or ready to, the week before or of Easter to sell them ,,, also any other info. i could use to make this idea work ,,, thanx to anyone that can point me in the right direction :) BILL
I admire your ambition. Sure you have enough room in a small greenhouse for thousands of bulbs? I guess you'll find out soon enough as your plan falls into place. (Obviously you know that you have to get a move on it as Easter approaches.... there's always mother's day I guess)
Timing and temperature control will probably be your biggest issue, knowing the exact variety will help, darwin mixed or pastel mixed isn't really enough info, especially if you just grabbed a couple bags of bulbs at Costco or sam's.
Here's a link for Easter forcing of precooled bulbs. Good luck!
.....Garden web is not accepting the link I added, you'll have to cut and paste....
Good luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kato's bulb forcing link made clickable
Hi,I am in warmer zone than yours & weather has been warmer than usual even for my region ,I planted Darwin hybrid tulips Ollioules,Big chief on 19 th Nov last year in my yard & they are in full bloom now ,also the May flowering/single late tulips "renown" planted on 6th November are also starting to open in my garden , so I am guessing they take 4& half months in outside weather. since you are forcing them in warmer conditions, they'll probably bloom in 2-3 months after planting (my guess)
