Perez announces development platform
TRENTON — Mayoral candidate Paul Perez announced his economic development platform this week, saying he is focusing on creating a healthy environment for small business growth and job training.
"We must create the conditions to provide everyone with the opportunity to prosper by embracing our diversity," Perez said.
Perez said one initiative will be to reach out to the existing small businesses in Trenton to offer them assistance in grant writing, career counseling, training, resume writing, basic legal information, business networking and development locally, information about how to license and patent intellectual property, business development counseling and seminars.
If elected, Perez said he will establish a partnership with Mercer County's Foreign Trade Zone and Urban Enterprise Zones to attract new businesses to Trenton.
This partnership will promote tourism and establish entertainment, restaurants and retail.
"I will promote Trenton as a place to do business," Perez said in his proposal.
He said his proposed Trenton Investment Promotion Enterprise (TIPE) would focus on making the city business friendly by promoting tax incentive and establishing a position for a full-time economic adviser and marketing specialist to market Trenton to businesses.
The plan also calls for the creation of a historic district to improve tourism and developing the city's waterfront.
Perez said he would also push for tax credits for businesses creating a large amount of jobs for people and for those businesses with long-term commitments to Trenton.
Trenton needs to attract energy companies, Perez said.
"Williams Petroleum recently opted to take risks dealing with concerned environmental groups in Princeton and locate some operations there, bypassing Trenton," Perez said.
He said he will conduct new grid and pipeline analysis, create tax incentives for energy companies and increase the green and renewable programs in Trenton.
Councilwoman wins union endorsement
TRENTON — The New Jersey Chapter of the Communications Workers of America endorsed North Ward Councilwoman Marge Caldwell-Wilson, who is running for re-election.
"Marge is one of us," said CWA state director Hetty Rosenstein.
"She understands the concerns and needs of working families like few others in the city. We were proud to support Marge in her first campaign, and watching her work over the last four years, we're even more convinced that she always has the best interest of Trenton in mind."
Caldwell-Wilson is a former member and president of CWA Local 1087 and has served as a delegate for Central Labor Council in Monmouth, Ocean and Mercer counties.
Law enforcement union backs Jackson for mayor
TRENTON — The Law Enforcement Supervisors Association endorsed mayoral candidate Eric Jackson this week.
"While others speak in generalities about the need to get illegal guns off the street and criminals behind bars, Eric has rolled out a specific metrics-based plan to make Trenton a safer city," said Eric Holliday, NJLESA president.
"Our members are at the front lines in dealing with both youth and adults who get in trouble and pose a threat to public safety and we are directly affected when crime is allowed to run rampant," said William Toolen, NJLESA executive vice president.

While the William S. Hart Union High School District once again considers which high school Castaic students attend, I have reservations whether Castaic will ever get a high school of its own.
Part of my suspicion has to do with a belief there is really no desire to spend the money to build a high school in Castaic. We have seen money allocated for this purpose evaporate through other spending decisions made by the Hart district.
Through a second bond measure approved by voters, there is money available to build what was called "the No. 1 priority" of the bond. Nevertheless, we continue to wait as the Hart district cannot even agree on a site for this much-needed school.
Fortunately, the board is now looking at only two potential sites.
One of the two newest proposed "final" sites is the Hasley/Sloan site which has been owned by the Hart Facilities Foundation since 2002, when it was proposed as the "latest" site for the high school. That site was deemed unacceptable in 2002 and remains unacceptable today.
The Hart district staff had proposed to the board that it hire Vanir Management at a cost of almost $700,000 to review the two sites.
The board had the good sense to reject that proposal.
Unfortunately, at the March 17 meeting, it did approve a number of outside consulting firms to explore the two remaining sites in an attempt to discover any "fatal flaws" that would eliminate one of the two sites.
While I do not believe that was necessary, mine is just one opinion, and the board seemed concerned about doing due diligence to make sure the site it would finally select would be the site upon which the high school could actually be built.
The question we now have is: What is a "fatal flaw?" We know the Hasley/Sloan site was opposed successfully by the Castaic community when it was previously considered for the high school.
We know permits for that site will take more than three years to obtain. (Why they were not obtained previously remains a mystery).
We know that school construction there would require removal of 48 oak trees and construction of two bridges at a cost of more than $30 million. Also, a water system would have to be installed at a cost of $6 million.
Also, a secondary access is required by the Los Angeles County Fire Department if a high school is built on the site, in addition to expensive improvements on Hasley Canyon Road.
The secondary access would be Sloan Canyon Road. The residents who own the property have advised the Hart district, through their attorney, that they will not sell to the Hart district under any circumstance, and they will vigorously oppose any eminent domain proceedings undertaken by the district.
This would result in a lengthy and costly legal dispute.
The Romero Canyon site owned by my client, Larry Rasmussen, will result in the building of a Castaic high school in what from this day forward will be the most expeditious and least expensive manner.
Cost of this land should not be a problem, as the state will appraise the land, and Rasmussen is willing to sell it for that appraised value.
Most of the permits and all of the required legwork have already been performed with regard to a proposed residential project on the Romero Canyon land, and all of this completed work can be quickly and easily converted to the necessary permits for the school site.
Rasmussen — praised by former Hart district Superintendent Bob Lee for his assistance in getting Golden Valley High School built — has agreed to continue to get his site ready and has promised a graded pad will be provided to the district within 18 months of the sale of his land to them for purposes of a high school.
Superintendent Marc Winger of the Newhall School District has praised Rasmussen for his assistance in helping overcome numerous obstacles in getting a school built quickly and within budget.
With the current economic situation and with the cost of construction at a historically low rate, the opportunity to move forward and get a Castaic high school built is now.
It is imperative that the Hart district move forward with the purchase of Romero Canyon and the construction of the school, avoiding the problem of separating Castaic high school students among two or more of its other schools.
Unless this action is taken immediately, the promise to have the school built by 2013 will meet with the same failure as all the numerous prior promises for the school's opening.

Ricoh Caplio R4
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
PMA 2006: The Ricoh Caplio R4 is announced today. 6 megapixels, 7x zoom lens, 2.5 inch LCD screen, Vibration Correction function. The Ricoh R4 will be available from March for £249.99.
Ricoh UK Press Release
London –UK February 23rd 2006. – Ricoh has announced the release of the new Caplio R4 compact digital camera featuring a 7.1x optical wide zoom, (28–200 mm in 35 mm camera format), the largest in the compact class* and vibration correction function. With a smaller body, the new Ricoh R4, has a 7.1x (28—200 mm) wide-angle, high-powered zoom lens, the biggest in its class. Building on the highly successful R3, the new Ricoh R4 boasts 6 megapixels, longer battery life and a high resolution LCD. The R4 will be available in both Black and Silver.
Main Features of the Caplio R4
New 6.04 million square pixel CCD.
- Often used icons can be enlarged for greater visibility.
- The brightness of the LCD can be increased to maximum with a single touch and visibility can be adjusted to suit well-lighted areas.
- The CCD is effective up to 6.04 million square pixels with the Smooth Imaging Engine image processing system. Combined with the vibration correction function, representative, superior, high-definition images can be created.
- It is possible to select a 35mm aspect ratio (the horizontal to vertical ratio of the image) of 3:2.
The long-life rechargeable battery, a standard accessory, lets you shoot approx. 330 pictures.
- Thanks to the power-saving features of the internal circuit, it is possible to capture up to 330 separate images under CIPA standards using the standard accessory rechargeable battery even while using the large LCD display. (310 pictures for the Caplio R3).
New improved 2.5-inch large-scale LCD, with 150,000-pixel resolution.
- The Caplio R4 has an easy-to-see 2.5-inch large-scale LCD monitor with improved resolution (150,000 pixels compared to 110,000 for the Caplio R3).
- During playback, 12 pictures can be displayed simultaneously on the large screen. While checking previous and subsequent pictures, the screen can be separated into three parts to allow fast forwarding and rewinding.
- Often used icons can be enlarged for greater visibility.
- The brightness of the LCD can be increased to maximum with a single touch and visibility can be adjusted to suit well-lighted areas.
7.1x wide zoom lens, largest in its class, in a lightweight 135g, 26mm body!
- The newly developed Double Retracting Lens System, allows part of the lens assembly to protrude from the camera body during lens storage. This enables the body, a mere 26 mm, to have a 28–200 mm 7.1x wide zoom lens.
- The highly versatile Caplio R4 delivers outstanding results in practically any photographic situation, whether it's capturing a panoramic landscape in one shot, wide-angle images in a room where everything is very close, or the fine details of distant objects.
Vibration Correction function, based on a CCD shift method.
- Whenever it detects excessive camera motion, the vibration correction system, based on a newly developed CCD shift method, moves the CCD in the opposite direction to counterbalance camera shake, resulting in sharp pictures that would have been blurred otherwise.
- As it is not necessary to incorporate the vibration correction system into the lens, many lens design options, were available, facilitating the design of a slim body and a wide to long telephoto range lens.
- The Caplio R4 shows its effectiveness best in high-powered telephoto, macro, or indoor shots without using flash. Once again the vibration correction system allows for sharp images that would not be possible otherwise.
The macro function, a Ricoh specialty, has been further strengthened.
- The camera's macro mode, can take a macro shot of an object from just 1 cm away.
- The zoom macro function automatically sets the focal distance of the lens at the optimum distance for capturing an image of each object as large and close as possible.
- If AF Target Selection is used, it is even possible to focus on objects within the frame without moving the camera. By determining the optimum field of view, taking into consideration such information as the size or contrast of the object, focusing accuracy becomes that much higher when shooting in macro.
High-speed response capability enables stress-free shooting.
- Release time lag (the time from the instant the shutter button is fully pressed—without using focus lock—until exposure actually starts) is as fast as approx. 0.09 seconds on average. Quick responses are essential in order to capture picture-perfect but near-instantaneous moments such as the expressions and movement of children or pets. Now stress-free, near-instantaneous shots are possible.
- Time calculated from the instant the focus is locked (half-press) until exposure actually starts is a miraculous 0.007 seconds on average.
- Shooting interval and start time are both rapid, approx. 0.5 and 1.1 seconds, respectively (measured while the flash is off).
The skew correction function.
- Through an original algorithm, which automatically detects trapezoids in images and corrects them to rectangles, images of such things as blackboards, documents, or time schedules shot at any angle can be corrected so that the image looks as though it were shot from the front. The camera is most effective in business environments where blackboards, overhead projector, OHPs, time schedules, signs, etc. cannot be shot from the front.
A design combining style with portability
- The design combines functionality and texture with such features as a comfortable grip, easy-to-use controls, high-grade materials, surface finishing, and a compact body of 95.0 mm (W) x 53.0 mm (H) x 26.0 mm (D).

I would hardly call 2.5" @ 150K pixels, a "high-resolution" LCD, and the
extra 20 pictures of battery capacity is not even worth mentioning. Just
what we needed though, another megapixel. Thanks for listening, Ricoh.
This one sounds interesting Gary. I'e saw that you weren't that impressed with the R3, what do you think of this one?
How is Ricoh's reputation for image quality, any problems?
Looking at the specs I may have to add this to my list of FX01 and F30 to consider.
untill I saw this I was going to buy an FX01 on monday, now I may have to delay again.
I like the 28mm to 200mm lens and ISO800, this is at the full 6Mp I hope. Can anyone confirm that?
LOW res LCD for sure, but probably good enough for me.
Any thing you can tell me about Ricoh Digital cameras ie, good points, bad points I would appreciate.
I only have about 40mb download left for the month so I'm trying to make it last or I would search through all the websites myself.
That's it?
After all we expected?
It seems like R3 is about to be discontinued to favour R4, IMHO… The R30 will be the low end Caplio and then R4, watt's the advantage of keeping R3 in line? There's no point to buy a 100€ plus similar camera… by the first impressions the improvements aren't that much to justified the difference and the waiting, unless… is there any news about some new Sony sensor, or firmware improvements?
I just feel sorry to have wasted time waiting, R3 is good enough for me.
Oops, sorry to have mentioned "Sony sensor"… I remember to have read something about a new sensor but I can't find it anymore to check the right brand…
So, there's any news about sensor improvements, or is it the same as in R3?
Paul, it is difficult for me to give an unbiased opinion of the R4 since
I was one of several on this site that expressed great enthusiasm for
the R3, over a period of several months, while waiting for its reviews
to come out, after which, I was very disappointed for one reason, its
excessive image noise. With another megapixel added to that same
size sensor, I am not optimistic about the R4's noise, unless Ricoh's
in-camera noise reduction has miraculously and suddenly improved.
However, if you don't mind doing noise reduction in post-processing
on the computer, the R4 is a tempting camera.
Obviously, Rui is not very optimistic either.
For information on the R3's noise problem, you can check out these
PhotographyBLOG links.

The comments on Mark's sample photos for his R3 review:
Thanks Gary,
I have checked out 4 of the images including the boxes.
I used noise ninja and Photoshop unsharp mask on the boxes and it came out quite acceptable.
The stairs only had noise in the shadows and that cleaned up with Noise Ninja.
A river scene shot only needed the sky cleaned up and funniest of all, the highest ISO shot I downloaded at ISO 200 showed no noise that I could see.
It would help a lot if the ISO speeds were listed under the thumbnails, as it is just pot luck what you get.
I have shots from the Canon S80 which show as much noise as the boxes but at ISO 200, the ISO 400 shot from the S80 is terrible.
This is where the Fuji F11 is unbeatable, and hopefully the F30 is as good or better.
I need a new camera for my holidays in acouple of weeks, so as the F30 is 2 or 3 months away I think I will go ahead and get the FX01, it is already advertised on my local camera shops website, it worries me a little though, as the FX9 is supposed to be quite noisey at ISO 200 and above. The higest ISO shot I have found from the FX9 is only ISO125.
Many reviewers don't seem to post the high ISO shots from the cameras they test which is a little frustrating as that is the critical thing too know.
I guess I am just too damn fussy. :)
You might want to check the sample photos from Mark's LZ5 review.
I think (based on size and total megapixels) it's the same CCD that's
used in the FX01.
Has the R4 a AF light?
It seems that the R3 has problems focusing at low light situations.
Just like the R3, the R4 uses a brief pre-flash (similar to the red-eye
reduction pre-flash) for its AF assist light.
I can't find Ricoh cameras in a local store in Portugal, I have to order from an European web dealer. I ordered R2, but after 4 weeks without an answer I realised that they didn't have a single supplier for this brand. Not assuming this fact when I asked, I cancelled the order.
From the beggining of February I've been checking R3 in another European web dealer, in stock. The price varied between 358€ and 333€. Today it's marked 322€ (249€ in a store in Milan), but the silver model is suddenly "unavailable"… is there a coincidence? Well, they still have the black model, but I don't know for how long… :-S
I'm travelling next week to Germany, so I won't order it right now because they'd probably deliver it while I'm out. Let us see what happens in the beginning of March, but it seems that I'll have to face the possible acquisition of this new model.:coolsmirk:
According to the press release the R3 LCD resolution lost 4000 pixels, R4 lost 3000, which looks very strange to me. But I don't know if this number of pixels makes any difference.
About the AF light, yes there is a mention in the specifications, and Gary already explained it. I read some reviews and comments about it and some people didn't manage to figure how it worked, but it seems to me that they preferred to talk about it instead of checking the camera's instructions, like in so many other things…
Problems focusing at low light situations? I have them too, without a camera, I mean. Most of the cameras and people have the same problem, all we can see is light. ;-)
Thanks Gary, I downloaded 5 of the pics and they look pretty good. A bit soft in the corners maybe, but not too bad.
Noise is low, but they are all ISO 80. I wish the ISO, shutter and aperture data was written below the thumbnails. There is only one shot with fairly bright colours, but it looks quite vivid. No portraits or group shots, which is my main use, never mind.
In the review Mark said that ISO 200 was quite noisy and 400 bad noise, it's amazing Panasonic keep producing these cameras with such abysmal medium and high ISO performance.
One more round to Fuji's F11, F30. :)
I wish it wasn't still acouple of months away, as I need a new camera fairly soon.
Have you looked into the Fuji V10, which I think is just now becoming
available? Like the F30, it is also designed for low-light situations and
even takes two photos at once, one with flash and one without.
It has only a 5th generation, 1/2.5" CCD, so its high ISO will not be as
usable as the F30, but it does have the advantage of a 3.0" LCD, that
is also a touch-screen. I am not sure if it has an AF assist lamp, which
would be unfortunate if it does not. But it does have 3.4x zoom.
It has no manual features, but it is extremely stylish and ultra-compact,
which I think your wife would just love. :)
I don't quite understand why they have bothered to release a new model which does little more than add a megapixel when the primary weakness' of the R3 (I have one) are (1) Noise and (2) Low light focus. Unless they have replaced the CCD the shortcomings will be even more apparent! Otherwise the R3 is a good camera for the price. More of my opinions here : http://blog.twowolves.co.uk/2005/12/11/180
Does anyone know when the r4 will be appearing in the shops? Is a March release date still on the cards?
I've been looking for a compact camera with a large optical zoom. Is there anything else available with similar specs that can be recommended?
I wanted to get the R3 this weekend, but now i am hesitating...
what is the advantage of the R4 against the R3 ?
- better LCD
- 1 Megapixel extra
That's it?
Are there any reviews available (i couldn't find any).
Hi Alex!
I order R3 yesterday. The price is better, and now I'm searching info about R3 user's setup.
Sure R4 will be better, with a new sensor (??), but reviews will take a little time, and probably will stick to "noise" Ricoh's reputation, no matter what…
So, R3 is good enough for me. I feel sorry to not have order it about two months ago.
Good luck to you!
i owned R2 . I did like it specially for wide angle but: the noise problem (which seems less then R3, with much more luminance noise). I heard that the ne Sony ccd should be more sensitive, so i hope that the noice could be even less.
here some pics:
pics seems little noisy too, but its is a differend kind of noise, fine one and easy to fix with neat image
I use now a f10, with all the pros, but i need a wide angle pocket camera, for my architecture study.
First (?) user R4 photos!
Hi everyone
Rui thanks for the pictures.
Samples are sometimes noisy.
I am going to buy the R4, but shop in Germany called to say delivery was postponed for undefined time...
Aren't any other users with pics?
Hi Alex!
You can find more samples from the same user in dpreview. I must say that this Ricoh cameras have to be adjusted, it's possible to make better than in the first shot's with the default cameras. Look for info about that in R3/R4 threads.
You're welcome to see some of my R3 photos here, they're unprocessed, so you will see them as they came out of the camera:
I'm quite satisfied with this camera and don't regret for buying it instead of R4. It's a matter of wants and need's equation.
Good luck to you!
I am suprised again by the pictures. And they are unprocessed???!
Then i would be double surprised.
What do you think that the real difference is between R3 and R4?
Yep! Unprocessed, and the first ones, in the Tejo river, just out of the box, without even knowing what to do with my fingers on it... with the default settings of course.
... Oops, the macro photo with the fork was cropped. I have to go there and make that reference... sorry. :red:
Even without any experience with digital photography, and after all the talk about noise and bad image quality, it was quite a pleasant surprise to me too.
You can see one of them adjusted here (I hope this works):
As I understand, the monitor quality can make a big difference too, I see lots of details on the night photo of the elevator without any adjustment.
R3xR4? I can't answer to your question. I can only compare the list of features. But play attention in the next days, here or in dpreview, because there's a few guys who ordered R4. There will be more results soon.
Have fun!
Has anybody already ordered the Ricoh R4?
Or has it already had delivered?
Is there any bagg or case included (to put the camera away)?
Alex B
Hi Alex
You can check in dpreview, in "ricoh talk" fórum. There's a lot of recent R4 user's information.
The case doesn't come included for every countries. But it seems better to buy a new one.

RUS W: Ruslan Olihver - Hooker is a great acquisition, but acquisitions are not completed
The Director-General of Dinamo Krasnodar Ruslan Olihver said for SE signed a contract with one of the leaders of the U.S. team - diagonal Destinee Hooker.
- The negotiations went long, just over a month and we are pleased that we managed to put them a point. Hooker is a great acquisition. Destiny is one of the best volleyball players in the roles of the world. It is a problem we will close due to injury Olga Bukreeva position in the women's team.
- Club for the second year signed a contract with one of the leaders of the U.S. women's national team, most valuable player of the last Grand Prix.
Last year you got hold of Akinradewo now Hooker. This is communication, the money, the case or something else?
- I do not think there is a secret. There are agents, there are communications and there is a motivation. We have communications, we work directly with the five volleyball agencies, but to find the motivation it is truly interesting. If we put aside the money, which in the Brazilian league at least no less, for Hooker a trip to Russia is a real challenge in her career. We have an excellent team, which I wish good luck at the start of the Olympic selection soon in Japan. There were strong and stable clubs. Our league stronger. Just because we go to great players.
- That structure which is collected in May by your club, on names is hardly probable weaker than Dinamo Kazan which has gained two gold in succession. Whether It is possible to speak, what the purposes for a season at your team maximal? Or after fiasco in the last season will be cautious in estimations?
- Kazan becomes stronger in the summer, it definitely. There is a Dinamo from Moscow. There is to whom to play and win. There is Omsk, where it is all right with the budget and ambitions. There is Uralochka and Karpol. I think, we yet do not consider someone, just do not know how people are equipped. So answer this: the season will be challenging, but fun, and we will try to contribute to the formation of the league, which will soon be able to call itself the strongest in the women's volleyball tournament in Europe.
- On creation of a new team it is possible to consider work ended?
- No, our acquisition is not completed. Would be able to sign a foreigner, would be looking for the right class of people. Opportunities are not present, therefore we search for Russians.

Hi Kate,
Yes, this is a much more satisfying way to eat and at this point in my life how I feel is much more important than being slender. I believe the weight will come off for me when I retire and get rid of a lot of undo stress. I really am starting to think that stress plays a huge role in weight loss. Now I don't stress about food any longer so that is one less thing to stress over. Meditation seems to help as well. It is amazing that at 59 I am still learning this. I am really looking forward to my 60's.

The search for jobs and a new life on the homefront
As a Marine infantryman, Matt Hess had the skills, training and grit to survive two tours in Iraq.
Now, at the end of seven years of active duty, the 29-year-old Erie man faces a new challenge -- starting a civilian career to support himself, his wife and their three young children.
Hess, who's working part-time as a security officer at Presque Isle Downs & Casino while he attends school at Erie Institute of Technology, feels good about his chances.
But there's nothing automatic about it.
Despite tax breaks for employers who hire veterans, thousands of wartime veterans have found it difficult to parlay military experience into civilian jobs.
As a group, veterans generally enjoy a slightly better unemployment rate than the public as a whole. The unemployment rate nationally for all veterans was 6.5 percent in September, compared to an overall rate of 7.3 percent nationally.
Recent vets' challenge
But recent veterans haven't fared as well. The unemployment rate for veterans who have served since 2001 was 10.1 percent in September, topping double digits for the second month in a row, according to the Army Times.
The reality for young veterans is far worse.
For new veterans between the ages of 18 to 24, the unemployment rate averaged 20.4 percent in 2012, according to the March 22 edition of Time magazine.
The story's author points to the illogic of that reality: "Young veterans are entering the workforce with far more skills and experience than their civilian peers. Logically, they should be employed at higher rates, not lower."
Marine Capt. Ryan Powell, public affairs officer for the U.S.M.C. wounded warrior regiment in Quantico, Va., is inclined to agree.
Most veterans share common attributes that should make them valuable, Powell said.
"It's hammered into us, simple things like showing up early," he said.
Beyond that, Powell said, " I think a military veteran is looking to achieve and looking to further the organization's goals. You are used to putting your motivation second to the organization."
But the transition isn't always easy.
Lindsay Onukiavage, a 27-year-old Erie native who worked as a mechanic in the Army National Guard, said it took time for her to adapt after returning from a tour in Iraq that ended in 2009.
Onukiavage, who recently became a medical assistant at a local pediatrician's office, said it took time to adapt to the culture of a civilian workplace.
"It's a lot different," she said. "In the military, you are told what to do and how to do it. In civilian life, you have a job description, but no one is telling you how to do it."
Hess notices other differences -- sticking points that stand between him and a feeling of ease with the civilian world.
Part of it was just missing friends, people he had learned to trust with his life.
And part of it was realizing that he saw the world through different eyes.
"Veterans getting out might have a difficult time working with people who haven't served," he said. "They don't see things the way we do."
Hess said he doesn't get caught up in small worries on the job.
"I try to look at everything as a positive," he said. "Because of all the things I've been through, I don't think anything here will be as hard as what I've been through."
Paul Fitzgerald, director of EIT, which has helped retrain many veterans, said most veterans have the potential to be great employees.
But moving from battlefield to the workplace is rarely easy.
"I think it can be an emotional thing for them," Fitzgerald said. "I think a lot of guys come back changed, and I think it's a challenge for them every single day."
Transferable skills
Jenny Jenkins, an IRS spokeswoman who covers northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, knows something about adapting to civilian life.
Jenkins is a lieutenant colonel who spent 22 years in the Marine Corp., working as an embarkation specialist and a public affairs officer.
As a college graduate, Jenkins said she had skills that could easily be adapted to the civilian world.
"There are a lot of skills that may not translate very easily on a r�sum�," she said. "But our basic leadership skills are valuable qualities."
As an IRS employee, Jenkins said substantial tax credits -- thousands of dollars per employee -- are another reason companies should consider hiring veterans.
Wounded warriors
The challenge can be even greater for veterans who return with mental or physical injuries.
Marine Cpl. Ryan Sullivan, 28, said he was invigorated to serve by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But he had been plotting a career in the Marines since he was a small boy talking with his father, a Vietnam veteran, about his own service in the infantry.
Sullivan, whose Marine career began in 2003, saw that career come to an early end in 2007 when he was hit by shrapnel from a roadside bomb.
Even after surgery, Sullivan was left with back and neck injuries that still plague him daily.
And while the Wounded Warriors Project provided him with extensive help and rehabilitation, the experience also left him without a career.
"I looked in the newspaper to see if anybody was looking for a gunfighter and I was unsuccessful," he joked.
Sullivan, who signed on with the Marines at 17, joined the highway patrol unit of the Philadelphia Police Department. But like his stint in the Marines, his police career was cut short by an injury.
Facing the challenge
Although he was given a medical retirement from the police department, Sullivan said he still wants to work to support his 7-year-old daughter.
But the physical and emotional injuries rule out some possibilities.
Hess said he's also limited by the lack of a college degree that he might have earned had he made different choices.
"There are a lot of veterans who have skills that are very specific to the U.S. military. That is part of the sacrifice of serving your country. You know that going in," he said. "They call it a sacrifice for a reason."
But Sullivan said he's confident he can rise to the challenge.
That's something he learned in the Marines.
"You have to adapt and overcome," he said. "My mission now is getting an education, a new career or a new job. I am not going to let anything stop me."

Development of new methodologies for measurement of restoration
Most projects on restoration of habitat have unclear or no defined aims. Where there are clear aims, it is unusual, if not rare, to find any assessment of whether the aims are being achieved. The Centre's research in the area of ecology includes development and testing of protocols to allow assessment of the progress and achievements of programmes of restoration. This is complex because, like assessments of impacts, any actual restoration must be detectable against large natural variation in numbers and types of animals and plants from place to place and time to time. Also, the goals of restoration cannot depend on vague hopes of "restoring a balance" when it is known there is no "balance" to restore. So, sampling and experimental design, logical structures for statistical analysis and interpretation of results must all be developed, tested and improved. The Centre's research in this area is novel and innovative and at the forefront of international efforts in the ecology of restoration of coastal habitats.

DETROIT, MI -- Detroit and Grand Rapids have formidable positions in a new report that ranks the "Top 15 Apartment Boom Towns" in the U.S."
A website called The Sparefoot Blog says Detroit is No. 15 and Grand Rapids is No. 4 in its analysis based on the following criteria:
- Total apartments per person
- Population growth
- The percentage of people spending more than 35 percent of their income on rent—lower numbers are better, as they indicate housing affordability
- Per-capita personal income growth
- Per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) growth
- Growth in per-capita construction permits for new apartments
The list's top three: San Jose, Austin and Houston.
The websites explanation why Detroit made the list:
"First, we focused our growth analysis on 2009 to 2012, so the starting point for measurement of growth in Detroit was when the Motor City essentially hit economic rock bottom.
Second, while GDP and personal income in Detroit have grown, the population hasn't. We focused on per-capita numbers to adjust for cities of different sizes, meaning that no population growth plus economic growth helped a city's ranking."

(Lauren Groff's Monsters paired with Brewery Ommegang's Three Philosophers, along with another great Ommegang beer, and an interloping stout.)
For a long time, I've wondered why wine and food should have all the fun. Here at Omnivoracious, we also believe in the complementary pairing of books with...beer. Now, please note that we're not advocating irresponsible reading, but with the current popularity of micro-breweries and the role of beer in the writing of books over the centuries, it seems somehow irresponsible not to pair the two. We're frankly a little surprised no one's done it before.
Thus, I took it upon myself to explore the connection between hops and writing chops, going far afield to ask a diverse group of writers what beer or beers would go best with their latest work. The results were so revelatory and comprehensive that we're running the first half of this feature today and the second half on Thursday...
Light Beers, Lambics, Arrogant Bastard, and More!
Naturally, everyone approached the question in a slightly different way. Eastern European surrealist Zoran Zivkovic appeared to have already sampled a brew or three, sending in the rhyming verse, "Drink Bud West, drink Bud East,/Drink Bud reading Steps through the Mist." Elizabeth Hand echoed Zivkovic, even while confessing she hasn't drunk beer in thirty years: "But the last time I did have one, it was almost certainly a glass of Bud with a shot-glass of Jack Daniels in it. A boilermaker, which is what Cass Neary in [the dark thriller] Generation Loss would drink--24/7, and minus the beer."
Arianna Huffington, author of the just-released Right Is Wrong, decided on a more political (and surprisingly conservative) approach, writing, "Busch, of course! Besides the homonymic convergence, distribution of this beer helped make Cindy McCain rich and funded John McCain's political career."
Other books that apparently take a lighter approach include Karen Joy Fowler's Wit's End, paired with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: "The company describes it as a new take on a classic theme; it's light, but complex. This is a North Californian company, which fits me and my book. But what I like best is the slogan--'the beer that made Chico famous.' The where?"

Elaina Gregory Video Uploads:
Elaina Gregory, real name most likely Grace, is from the USA and began modeling in 2007 at TopHeavyAmateurs under the name Gracie.
In those pictures, a 20 year old Elaina is slimmer, more natural and has some beautiful full FF cup boobs. She's also sporting a wedding ring and her tattoo says 'Cory'. She lists her occupation as a designer but may have been serving in the army after doing the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) in high school.
In 2010, Elaina returned to modeling under a new name, more voluptuous and with some amazing NN cup boobs. She says her husband suggested she try out modeling 'for the first time' and in some pictorials you can see she is wearing the same wedding band. In others the band is missing and her tattoo has changed from 'Cory' to 'Gracie'.

With weeks to spare, the Obama administration met its goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of September 2016, and announced plans to increase the overall refugee ceiling to 110,000 in fiscal 2017. However, opposition continues to mount in Congress, statehouses, and on the campaign trail, with Republicans citing security concerns in calling for lower numbers or additional screening, as this article explores.

Two years on, the Australia-Cambodia refugee relocation agreement—the first of its kind involving a traditional resettlement country relocating refugees to a country with no resettlement track record—has proven to be underwhelming in its outcomes. Only five refugees have been voluntarily relocated under the deal, of whom just one remains in Cambodia. This article explores where the deal went wrong and what lies ahead for Australia's detained asylum seekers.
Approximately 4 million immigrants from the Caribbean resided in the United States in 2014, representing 9 percent of the country's total immigrant population. While 90 percent of Caribbean immigrants come from five countries, this population overall is very diverse in its skill levels, racial composition, language background, and immigration pathways. This Spotlight article provides information on the Caribbean immigrant population in the United States, focusing on its size, geographic distribution, and socioeconomic characteristics.
The Head Start program—a model for early childhood education programs nationwide—has served more than 33 million children since its inception half a century ago, many from immigrant families. This article examines the role of Head Start in the education of Dual Language Learners, who now comprise one-third of enrollees, and discusses how recent policy changes may affect this population.
Although long one of the world's top migrant destinations, only in the recent past has Germany come to acknowledge and adjust to its role as a country of immigration. Its welcoming approach—a relatively new development—has been put to the test amid massive humanitarian inflows beginning in 2015. This country profile examines Germany's history on immigration and highlights current and emerging debates.
In contrast to increasingly restrictive approaches to migration in the global North—and recent skepticism towards Europe's free mobility project—South America is taking steps in the other direction, toward free movement for regional migrants. This article examines the emerging South American model and discusses its implications for migration in the region and for free movement in general.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Passed with minimal controversy and public debate, the 2016 spending bill included some of the most substantial immigration policy changes enacted by Congress in the last decade. The changes touched on aspects including temporary worker visas, visa security, and the immigration courts, and could signal a new strategy for legislative change to the immigration system.
Signed more than 30 years ago, the Cartagena Declaration sought to address rising flows of refugees and establish regional solidarity in refugee protection in Latin America. This article explores the evolution of refugee and asylum policies in Latin America amid the long-running Colombian civil war, as well as the region's response to the current global refugee crisis.
The number of Asian immigrants in the United States has increased exponentially over the last 50 years, and Asia is now the second-largest region of birth of U.S. immigrants. The growth of this population dates to the abolition in 1965 of national-origin quotas that barred immigration from Asia. This article delves into key data on Asian immigrants, from settlement and employment patterns to immigration pathways, and more.
Europe's defining challenge in 2015 was the exponential growth in the number of asylum seekers and migrants arriving on its shores. The European Union and its Member States were slow to respond, and reactive when they did. As trust among Member States and between national and EU-level authorities began to erode, the European Union has found its ability to implement a comprehensive response severely handicapped.
Global displacement reached a new high with nearly 60 million people worldwide displaced internally or externally in the greatest number since record-keeping began. The trend continued in 2015 as conflicts in places such as Central African Republic, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen drove millions of people to leave their homes and seek refuge in other communities or across borders.
Drawing on a case study of two Hmong refugee populations from Laos that were resettled in a major Texas city and a German village, this article explores the different approaches to immigrant integration found in the United States and Germany as well as the outcomes for the Hmong and their sense of belonging in their new communities.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Immigrants from South America made up 2.7 million (about 7 percent) of the United States' foreign-born population of 40.4 million in 2011. While the share may seem small, this population has grown 30 times its size since 1960, when about 90,000 South American immigrants resided in the country. This article examines the latest data on South American immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Over the past five decades, Mexicans have constituted the single largest group of immigrants to the United States originating from Latin America. In 2011, 11.7 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, representing 29 percent of the U.S. immigrant population and close to 4 percent of the overall U.S. population. This article examines the latest data on Mexican immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Macedonia avoided the interethnic conflict that ripped through the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. It was the only state to emerge with its independence (in 1991) and no loss of blood.

Excel Paid $3.4M to Chairman Who Steered Company Into Bankruptcy
Excel Maritime Carrier Ltd. doled out more than $3.4 million to Chairman Excel Maritime Carrier Ltd. doled out more than $3.4 million to Chairman Gabriel Panayotides in the 12 months before the shipping firm filed for bankruptcy.
The total included Mr. Panayotides's "wages" of $3.37 million-a-year, according to a financial report the company recently filed with the bankruptcy court. In all the company paid more than $5 million to a dozen company insiders—top executives and board members—in the year before its July Chapter 11 filing,
The company also paid out more than $18 million to the team of lawyers and financial advisers working on its debt restructuring and bankruptcy.
Excel filed for bankruptcy last month with a plan to hand itself over to a syndicate of top secured lenders led by Oaktree Capital Management, which will then sell a portion of the company to the controlling stockholders, which happen to be members of the Panayotides family.
That proposal has riled a group of convertible bondholders who stand to recover just 3 cents on the dollar of what they're owed. They want to file a rival plan to bring the company out of bankruptcy.
A lawyer for the committee representing the bondholders couldn't be reached for comment. Representatives for Excel declined to comment.
You can view the whole disclosure here, starting at Exhibit 3C on page 29.
Write to Patrick Fitgerald at firstname.lastname@example.com.
UPDATE: A spokesman clarified that Mr. Panayotides's $3.4 million in compensation in the year before Excel's bankruptcy comprised a 900,000 euro salary and a 2 million euro deferred performance bonus from 2011.

I recently read Max Lucado's new book "Max on Life" in which He covers a multitude of questions on all different aspects and points of life. There was one question that stood out in particular to me ,and I can't explain it any better than he did, so I just thought I'd post it here. It's the differences in human love and God's love. While I'm not going to type it word for word I am using his text from the book and anything that's from me will not be in Italics.
Human Love= Convenient
God's Love= Eternal
(Think about it. It's easy to love someone when they're pleasing you and fitting into your schedule and needs. You are always on God's itinerary. Come and go as you please but He is always there!)
Human Love= Limited
God's Love= Unlimited
(Human love can only love as much as it wants to give. God has ample amounts of love and even uses words like abundant when talking about pouring His love out on people)
Human Love= Emotional
God's Love= Committed
(If there's one thing I know as a woman it's emotional! I don't always feel very loving do you all? My feelings sometimes dominate my level of "loving". Hormones, sleeplessness, worry, past hurts, Mexican food--all complicate these emotions. While God has feelings for us, His feelings do not dictate His love for us. Your actions don't increase or decrease His commitment. Thank GOD!!)
Human Love= Selfish
God's Love= Unselfish
(Human love basically says you must meet my needs, and to be loved you have to love me. God is totally the opposite. In fact, if you never loved God at all He will still love you. Your love has no bearing on the love He lavishes on you.)
Our goal as Christians should be to express God's love in our human relationships. We should all have someone in our lives on whom we can look back and say, " I saw God's love in that person."
There are people in my life I can say that about. I want to be that person in other people's lives. Radically loving, even if I don't feel like it. Even on the most "hormonal" of days. Lord help me to love even if it hurts a little!

Bobbi-Lin Kalama knows where she's headed for college volleyball. Pakalana Helekahi will know soon enough.
Kalama, a Kamehameha Schools Maui senior setter, has verbally committed to a full scholarship to Siena College, an NCAA Division I school in Loudonville, N.Y. - she will take two Maui Interscholastic League Division I Player of the Year awards with her, including the 2012 prize.
"It is surprising. It is an honor to be chosen again," Kalama said. "I would have thought that someone else would get it, but knowing that my hard work pays off, it just feels great to have."

Bobbi-Lin Kalama finished her Kamehameha Schools Maui career with a 56-1 record in Maui Interscholastic League matches.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Kalama and fellow first-team All-Stars Sienna Davis and Leimana Kane finished their Kamehameha careers 56-1 in MIL play - this year's team had eight seniors - and made an appearance in the state semifinals in 2011. Kamehameha junior Taylor Awai, Baldwin's Olivia Wallace, Maui High's Sulieti Hifo and King Kekaulike's Taylor Fernandez round out the D-I first team.
"It was our same team from last year, so we all had that bond," said the 5-foot-8 Kalama. "Knowing that we are friends on and off the court keeps us together on the court. Knowing the other seniors, that it was our last year, we had fun with it. We took the games seriously, but we knew it was our last year and we had to have fun, too.
"I'm going to miss them a lot, because we were together for so long. We are still close, but without playing volleyball with them it is going to be different. And having a family like them on the court, it's like a sisterhood that we have on the court. I will miss them a lot."

Helekahi, a 5-foot-9 middle blocker for Hana, found out about her MIL Division II Player of the Year award at a leadership conference for Maui County students Thursday at Maui High. Helekahi is also Hana's student body president and led the Dragons to their first state tournament appearance since 2005, behind league champion and state runner-up Seabury Hall.
"I was surprised because I thought it was going to be one of the Seabury girls because we didn't win MIL champs," Helekahi said. "And I was just, like, all smiles the whole time."
Helekahi is joined on the MIL D-II first team by the Dragons' Shalen-Brae Hoopai and Jaynalee Hoopai, Sea-bury's Amy Ozee and Lena Fox, Molokai's Taylor Keliihoomalu and St. Anthony's Treyanna Freitas.
Helekahi, who volunteers two times a week teaching volleyball skills to Hana middle- and grade-schoolers, said she wants to play at a California school, probably at the NCAA Division II level.
The team's success played large in East Maui.
"Our community was behind us 100 percent," Helekahi said. "At our first game, we went to the gym and there were over 100 people. I only recognized about three people, but that felt like the support of my whole community. I was just so happy to make it to states."
The Dragons advanced to the state quarterfinals.
"I wouldn't have made it this far without my team," Helekahi said. "We were really close and they helped me with everything."
The Warriors senior class helped boost the school's MIL title streak to eight.
"I'm going to miss them quite a bit, they have done a lot for this program," said Kamehameha coach Bala Spencer, the MIL D-I coach of the Year. "They have paved the way for a lot of the younger girls: What to do, what not to do, how to deal with adversity, stuff like that. It's a really good group."
St. Anthony coach Al Paschoal is the D-II MIL Coach of the Year after leading the upstart Trojans to a 6-4 regular-season mark and the league tournament semifinals.
"I can't express how proud I am of our girls this year," Paschoal said. "They committed from day one, we put a ton of time in in the preseason, countless hours of technique in the gym. We needed to learn behavior and I give them so much credit because they never backed down from a challenge all year long and we were going against perennial powerhouses like Seabury, Hana and Molokai. To see these girls perform when it really mattered was so outstanding. It was a great season for St. Anthony and even better for the girls who committed."

I absolutely adore this top!
It's definitely a favorite.
I'm a 36DD, and the large fits perfectly in the chest.
Just a tiny bit loose in the waist for me, but no matter.
I'd love to see it in a deep purple color, like Imperial Purple or Majesty :D

I bought this shirt in mint green, pink, and lavender. Typically, I wear an XS or smaller, but I bought it a size up because it fits quite snug. Depending on how you want to wear it, it is true to size or a little tight (it's a little loose on me, but I prefer it that way). The quality is nice, too. Would definitely repurchase in other colors and prints!

I got this crop top in black and it's one of my favorite items in my wardrobe! I wear it all the time. I got it in medium, and unfortunately, it does stretch overtime so I suggest getting a size down or just stay on the small side. Although if you put it in the dryer it does shrink a bit, so that's good if it's a bit too big! But other than that, it's amazing and I love it!

This crop top is like no other in the market. The sleeves are a bit longer hugging to the arms and making my arms look more slim. The neckline is also nearly perfect because it doesn't show too little or too much chest. It hugs into your body perfectly and makes your chest appear larger. I love everything about it but like another reviewer said, there is no tag so you cannot distinguish between the front or back of the garment. My other con is that I'm not a big fan of the back.. it exposes more skin that I hoped and feels kind of weird.. but I guess I need to get used to it. I also hope it doesn't shrink!

I bought this in black and white. The fabric is not at all see-through, and is fitted and stretchy. They go with everything! Make sure you wear nipple stickers or a bra that doesn't have an under wire because it hugs every curve in the chest area (makes the boobs look awesome!).

Must have. I'm a 36D with a small waist so I was a little unsure if the medium would be too tight but the large would be too loose. Bought the medium and it is perfect! Big chested girls should not stray away - they hug in all the correct places

I currently have this in black, athletic grey, truffle, white, b&w stripes, and the blue tea rose. They're seriously my favorite tops because they're so versatile and aren't too short. I wear them in size small, and sometimes after you wash them, the sleeves are a little tight. But throughout the say they loosen up! It would be awesome if for the spring AA made them in orchid or some kind of light purple color. :)

I was so excited to finally purchase one of these crop tops. I got a white one in a medium because I don't like it being too tight and it fit perfectly - just above the belly button. My only issue is that the white was too sheer and you could see my nude colored bra, so I think I'm going to exchange it for another color. I really wanted a white staple top so would anyone know how to get around that problem?
Bottom line though is that they're great!

I'm 5'5", 113 lbs, with a 32B bust & 25" waist. I got this in a size small and it fits wonderfully: not too tight, not too loose. I got mine in heather oatmeal, and the heather coloring is nice and subtle. The fabric is soft to the touch and on the thinner side, making it a really comfortable shirt to wear. It works well with both the Interlock Bra as well as thicker, under wire bras. The length of the top pairs perfectly with the rise of high-waisted AA pants and skirts. I love wearing mine with circle skirts, they work great together :)

I have this in Truffle in a size S and I am in love with it. The fit is super flattering and hits at the perfect spot, right above the belly button. The truffle color is stunning! This is a great wardrobe staple to wear with high-waisted bottoms.

December 13, 2013
I got this in Oatmeal in S. I tried on both the XS and S in store, however I think S fits better on me (my chest is 32C) since XS feels like it's WAY too tight on my chest. I do think it's true size though, the fabric is very stretchy, if you have a A or a B cup, definitely go for the XS.
The top is great for summer, keep in mind that it is very thin and somewhat sheer. If you're looking for something that is thicker and better quality, I would recommend the baby rib cropped tee instead. But I love this top how it is. Perfect for summer with high waisted shorts.

I love this! I have it in the floral and the boysenberry, and always get a lot of compliments on the floral! I'm a 32dd so the medium fits good but very tight, if you have a bigger chest I would suggest sizing up (usually I'm between a small and a medium).. It also is pretty short so I love it with high waisted shorts & skirts! :)

I am 5'7, 122 lb., & 32b. I prefer looser clothes, but I'm worried if I get a medium it would look awkward, especially at the rib cage. And does it shrink at all in the dryer?Should I get a small or medium??
by Amanda
June 20, 2013
I bought these in three colors. They are soft and very flattering. They look great as a layering piece and with anything high-waisted. I would suggest sizing up. Maybe it's because I have slightly wide shoulders but I had to go with the medium. The small was just waaaay too tight for my taste.

Love this top. I'm not usually a fan of AA basics (varying quality, inconsistent sizing, susceptible to wearing out quickly in the wash) but I will probably keep purchasing this top. I'm thin, somewhat short-waisted and built like a ruler - the cut is VERY flattering and manages to lengthen and nip my waist in. And, like someone mentioned, it doesn't stop right below my bra like so many other cropped tees. I think it does run a bit small (though in line with some other AA products), I got M and it fits perfectly, snug but not tight.

Released: 09/27/2012SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The McClatchy Company (NYSE:MNI) today named newspaper industry veteran Mark Webster as president and publisher of The Sun News in Myrtle Beach, S.C. His appointment is effective immediately.
Since 2009, Webster has been the regional vice president of human resources for three McClatchy newspapers in the Carolinas, including The Sun News, The Charlotte Observer in North Carolina and The Herald in Rock Hill, S.C. In 2010, Webster was given additional oversight of information technology for all seven of McClatchy's daily newspapers in the Carolinas.
Webster, 54, has held several key management and executive roles at Knight Ridder and McClatchy newspapers over his 31-year career. He rejoins The Sun News, where he worked from 1996 to 2009, rising to vice president of human resources and operations. As president and publisher, he replaces P.J. Browning, who left the paper last month.
"Mark is a proven leader with one of the more diverse backgrounds in our industry," said Pat Talamantes, McClatchy's president and CEO. "That experience and versatility will serve Mark and The Sun News well given the pace of change in our business and the growing opportunities in a dynamic market such as Myrtle Beach."
Born and raised in Lexington, Ky., Webster began his newspaper career in 1981 with his hometown paper, the Lexington Herald-Leader.
"Mark is committed to McClatchy's news mission and knows firsthand the important role The Sun News plays in the community," said Mark Zieman, McClatchy vice president, operations, who oversees McClatchy's newspapers in the Southeast. "He'll make a terrific publisher."
Webster said he was excited to return to Myrtle Beach and The Sun News.
"This is like coming home for my family. We spent 13 wonderful years in the area and have many fond memories of our time there," Webster said. "The Sun News plays a vital role in the community for both our readers and advertisers," he continued. "While the last several years during the recession have been a challenge, we are evolving as a stronger multimedia company. The staff at The Sun News is dedicated, exceptionally talented and more than capable to see us through the transition."

Eric, the Spider Jam has no circuitry built-in to simulate an acoustic guitar but you can get stomp boxes that do this. I have one by Behringer and it can make my Stratocaster sound 'more' acoustic. Although not totally convincing in isolation, it works reasonably well when mixed with other instruments.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.
