Expert Recommendation.
After taking many trips with my DSLR and backpack full of accessories, I was dreaming of an all-in-one system that would allow me to get the level of quality shots I'm used to without being overburdened with gear. It turns out that Canon was one step ahead with the SX20 IS, giving me lots of zoom and a big wide angle, compact portability and HD video all at a price I could afford. The SX20 IS is the ultimate travel camera.
My Best In Class Pick
Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
Traveling with a camera shouldn't mean lugging a lot of heavy gear through the streets of far away places. And it shouldn't mean fumbling with lenses every time the scene changes.
With the Canon SX20 IS, you won't have those issues to deal with or the prospect of sacrificing quality to trim down. In fact, with a 12.1mp sensor and a Digic 4 processor, 20x zoom and 28mm wide angle lens, you have everything you need packed into a solid body that fits nicely in your hand.
Image stabilization and face detection ensure that you will get the shot you want and the face self-timer will allow you to be in the photo too!
And when you get home, your images will make great blow-ups you can hang on the walls and HD videos you can show at 16:9 on your home entertainment system.
Normally, I would prefer to have a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery for power, but when traveling, it sometimes is just simpler to carry extra AA's. They are much easier to purchase and don't require any special adjustments in foreign lands.
Comparison with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
Both of these cameras have identical imaging sensors (12.1) and ISO limits (1600) but the SX20 IS has a little more zoom and a little less wide angle.
Canon has a hot shoe, I prefer that because on more than one occasion I wanted at least 10 more feet of flash.
One of these cameras uses AA batteries (SX20 IS) while the other uses a provided lithium ion battery (FZ35). That is a personal choice, you can always buy rechargeable AA's.
Comparison with Olympus SP-565UZ
If playing around with added features within your camera is your style, The 565UZ may be the right travel camera for you.
With In camera panorama, perfect shot preview and perfect fix editing and a super macro function, the 565UZ will give you the creative control you won't find in the SX20 IS.
- +20x zoom
- +Hot shoe
- +Swivel LCD
- -Heavier than comparable cameras
- -No Raw

Close Sensor Size Most digital cameras, even most digital SLRs, have sensors that are smaller than a standard frame of 35 mm film (36 x 24 mm). These smaller sensors have a number of effects on the captured image and the use of the camera, including an increased depth of field, decreased light sensitivity, increased pixel noise, and increased degree of enlargement.

Close Viewfinder Available A viewfinder is a window that you look through to compose the picture. Some cameras do not have a viewfinder and instead use the LCD display. The LCD display may be difficult to see in bright light and may make it more difficult to capture fast-moving subjects because of the time required to update the display.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
The Panasonic FZ35 wants to travel. That's why it's a lightweight (14 oz), superzoom (18x) camera with quick autofocus and 2.3 fps speed.
Add IA mode with Power OIS image stabilization and face recognition to a wide variety of scene modes for both still and video images and most of the work is done for you. A real advantage when you want to explore new places without fussing with your camera.
Plus, If shooting movies is a big part of your trip record, just hit the one-touch button on the back panel of the camera and you will be filming High Def at 30fps. Take advantage of the Wind Cut function and lose most of the background noise that usually drowns out your witty banter.
The FZ35, a successor to the popular FZ28, is loaded with features that any fan of total control and options to play with will enjoy. Features like Inclusion face recognition that allows you to identify subjects you frequently shoot, baby identification that will automatically switch to baby mode and a playback mode that allows you to playback images according to those subjects you have identified.
And while these functions are fun to use, the operation of the FZ35 is still designed to make picture taking easy and responsive. Just the thing for simple still and video travel photography.
You might even want to take along the 3.5x Telephoto or 0.42x Wide Angle Lens kit for more versatility.
Comparison with Olympus SP-565UZ
These two cameras have a lot of similarities, but the 565UZ has a smaller imaging sensor (10.0mp), more zoom and a bit more wide angle.
I think the difference between these two cameras would be their aggresive use of features that set them apart. If getting to know all of them is your style, I would let each entice you with their unique offerings.

StrengthReport is a muscle fitness resource that provides videos, information, products, and most importantly, great Software built around the strength training and weightlifting industry.
The software provides "Reports" of a user's strength and weightlifting training results. The program tracks users improvements in strength with weightlifting, muscle growth, speed/agility, and diet.
StrengthReport needs a logo that has an element that could be branded, to a point where it could be recognized even without the text once the brand is established. For example, Apple, McDonalds, Pepsi, all have icons that identify what the company is even without the text present.
This would be great, but the text should be cool and attractive as well. The design should be punchy and colorful, visually appealing to the market of weightlifter/bodybuilding athletes. It would also be nice if the logo could still be recognizable on any color surface as well. For example, if we had to make the logo all one color to put on a weird color t-shirt, then it could still be effective.
I am looking to turn StrengthReport into a huge recognizable company in the strength training and sports industry, and your wonderful logo design will make that possible!

Be creative and use colors that you would see in men's sports, fitness, and bodybuilding such as shades of Black, Red, Yellow, Gray. If I were to pick colors, I would say: red, black, gray. But again, let's see what you come up with ;)

ALLEGHENY LUDLUM STEEL CORP., PETITIONERv.WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION APPEAL BOARD (PAVLIK), RESPONDENTS
Appeal from the Order of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board in case of Andrew S. Pavlik v. Allegheny Ludlum Ind., Inc., No. A-84666.
Raymond F. Keisling, Will & Keisling, for petitioner.
Lawrence R. Chaban, Yablonski, King, Costello & Leckie, for respondent, Andrew S. Pavlik.
Judges MacPhail and Barry, and Senior Judge Barbieri, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by Judge MacPhail.
[ 89 Pa. Commw. Page 122]
Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation (Employer) appeals from a decision of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Board) which affirmed the referee's award of compensation benefits to Andrew S. Pavlik (Claimant).
Claimant worked as a welder for Employer from 1942 until May 10, 1975. On December 21, 1976, Claimant was examined by Dr. Daniel Fine who diagnosed Claimant as totally disabled as a result of occupationally induced pneumoconiosis. Dr. Fine mailed his report, which contained his diagnosis, to Claimant's counsel on or about April 27, 1977. A claim petition was filed on June 20, 1977, alleging that Claimant's disabling disease was silicosis. Written notice of the claim was given to Employer on June 20, 1977.
The principal issue in the instant case is whether Claimant gave timely notice of his occupational disease to Employer pursuant to Section 311 of The Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act, Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. § 631.*fn1
[ 89 Pa. Commw. Page 123]
Our scope of review in a workmen's compensation case where, as here, the party with the burden of proof prevailed before the referee and the Board took no additional evidence is to determine whether an error of law was committed or necessary findings of fact were unsupported by substantial evidence. Latrobe Steel Co. v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Goodman), 79 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 203, 468 A.2d 1178 (1983).*fn2
The Employer argues here that it did not receive timely notice of Claimant's occupational disease. Whether or not an employer received notice of the injury or had actual knowledge of the injury is a question of fact for the referee. Miller v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Atlas Powder Co.), 78 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 22, 466 A.2d 787 (1983). This Court has held that for purposes of Section 311, computing the 120 day time limit for giving notice of an occupational disease runs from the date that a claimant 1) is disabled and 2) knows or should know through the exercise of reasonable diligence of the possible relationship between the disability and his employment. Arcadia Coal Co. v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Kubalic), 79 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 148, 468 A.2d 906 (1983). The referee is
[ 89 Pa. Commw. Page 124]
required to make a finding not only of the date that Claimant knew of the disability but also when the Claimant should have known by exercise of reasonable diligence of the existence of disability and its relationship to his employment. City of Philadelphia v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Erlink), 78 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 260, 467 A.2d 405 (1983).
In the present case, the referee found that Claimant had no reason to know of his disability prior to the time notice was given to the Employer on June 20, 1977. The employer contends that Claimant should have known of the disease on December 21, 1976, the date he was examined by Dr. Fine. The referee made the finding of fact that Claimant had not been informed on December 21, 1976, that he was totally and permanently disabled as a result of an occupational disease. Claimant specifically denied that Dr. Fine had told him he was totally and permanently disabled from a lung disease. Dr. Fine, in his deposition, said that he had no recollection of discussing his diagnosis with Claimant. Dr. Fine did not make a contemporaneous report of this examination to Claimant or anyone on his behalf at or immediately after the examination; instead, his first communication in this regard was to Claimant's counsel on April 27, 1977. In his written report, Dr. Fine unequivocally expressed his opinion that Claimant was totally disabled by pneumoconiosis. The evidence, taken as a whole, does not in our judgment compel a finding that Claimant should have known of his disability on December 21, 1976. See Rochester & Pittsburgh Coal Co. v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 48 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 550, 409 A.2d 1207 (1980).
Employer next alleges that Claimant did not prove that he was exposed to a silica hazard. In the referee's
[ 89 Pa. Commw. Page 125]
initial decision of August 28, 1980, the referee found, inter alia, that Claimant became totally and permanently disabled due to pneumoconiosis contracted in an industry having a silica or coal hazard. In its notice of appeal, the Employer alleged that that finding, among others, was not supported by the evidence and that Claimant failed to give proper notice of his claim to the Employer. In its brief to the Board, however, the Employer only addressed the notice issue. The Board subsequently entered the following order:
In accordance with an agreement between counsel, this case is remanded to the Referee for Findings of Fact on when the Claimant first knew or should have known he was totally disabled from an occupational disease.
Pursuant to that order, the referee conducted a further hearing solely limited to the notice issue and later made substantially the same findings as he had initially.
In its appeal to the Board from that decision, the Employer stated that the referee's findings were not based on competent evidence, that the Claimant failed to give proper notice and that the Claimant failed to prove that he was exposed to a silica hazard. In its brief to the Board, the Employer stated that there was no evidence to support Claimant's allegations. The only issue addressed in that brief, however, was the question of notice. The Board affirmed the referee's decision regarding notice but did not address the matter of the silica hazard.
[ 89 Pa. Commw. Page 126]
Claimant argues to us that inasmuch as the Employer did not raise that issue before the Board, he cannot do so in this appeal. Our usual rule, of course, is that questions not raised before the Board will not be considered by this Court. See Hugh H. Eby Co. Page 126} v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board, 47 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 135, 407 A.2d 148 (1979). What we must now decide is whether that rule applies in the circumstances of this case. We think it does. There can be no doubt that the issue was waived in the first appeal to the Board. Although the Employer's second effort on appeal was an improvement in this regard, its own brief limits the issue it wanted the Board to review to that of notice. We hold that to be an effective waiver of any other issue.
Order affirmed.
The order of the Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board at No. A-84666, dated October 20, 1983, is hereby affirmed.

Realmadrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is still doubtful for tomorrow's UEFA Champions league final according to reports in Spain.
The Portugal forward hurt his left thigh when colliding with Kiko Casilla following a push from Dani Carvajal and, after receiving treatment on the field, threw a water bottle in anger as he headed for the changing rooms. His participation against city rivals Atletico Madrid in Milan on Saturday could be in doubt, and it is a fresh worry for the club who are already without defender Raphael Varane due to a thigh problem that could rule him out of Euro 2016. The Frenchman may be sidelined for up to three weeks with the injury sustained in training last weekend and, with France's campaign starting on June 10, could miss the tournament in his homeland.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, is still optimistic though as he told the club's official website: "The only major drawback, and that really is very serious, is Varane.He is now out for Saturday. He may not be ready in two or three weeks. It is less serious than we thought. He will travel but will not play on Saturday.With regard to the selection I hope he can play the Euros. It's a blow for him and I'm worried about him."

The most cost-effective senior care alternative
An old friend recently found herself in a bad situation. Being a widow, living alone, her health failing, she was forced to make a drastic decision. Having worked her whole life and living modestly, she was able to build a small nest egg to live on. Now, due to declining health, she is forced to move into an assisted living home with a nurse on duty.
The cost, $5,000 a month for room and board. Almost double what she earned when healthy and working. Her nest egg was wiped out in short order, even with the aid of Medicare.
With our aging population, this situation is experienced by thousands of others.
The "crime reports" in The Journal reports crooks, thieves and murderers getting 15 to 20 years of free room and board, with free medical care at the tax payer's expense.
The answer seems simple, senior citizens. Have one of your children buy you a hoodie sweat shirt, sun glasses and a plastic water gun at the Dollar Store and dress mom in these. Pin a "This is a stickup" note to the shirt, drop her off at a 7-Eleven store. Once she is inside, call 911 and report an armed robbery in progress.
With a little luck, she will get 10 to 20 years for armed robbery, with free medical care, room and board to boot. She will agree to the plan when she's told Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right can be seen every day. Don't forget, it is all free now.

Great history, Interesting, lovely, melancholy, worth the visit. We enjoyed learning about the New Market battle and the VMI cadets. I would recommend this to anyone who loves history and our American culture. Highly recommended!
A private collection which turned into a museum. Not just the Civil War is covered here. Earlier materials from Colonial times and later times are also represented. If everyone in the Civil War got their pictures taken, half of them must be in this museum. The amount of information and items concentrated in one space will blow your mind. For...
First, warning! There are two attractions here, and they're next to each other. This is the Battlefield Military Museum and it's a museum. You are NOT touring the battlefield here.What it is, is a display of someone's fabulous collection of military stuff, most of it from the Civil War, but there is a large amount of other historical artifacts as...
Very good museum overlooking the battlefield. 45 minute video. Many exhibits in one area were missing, being renovated or replaced or incomplete. Complete walk of the battlefield is easy and covers close to 3 miles. Much of it can be done by car with several stops for closer examination of buildings and explanation of the battle.
Passed this attraction many times on I-81 and finally took the time to stop in. Glad we did. The 45 minute video was very informative and worth the time to watch. Interesting to go in the house and walk around the out buildings. We drove down to the farm museum area rather than walk from the visitors center to cut...
Very interesting movie about the battle of the lost shoes. We had been lucky to meet a Bushong decendant at breakfast who had suggested we visit the museum and we were not disappointed.
Walk in the field where the VMI cadets marched on the Bushong farm behind the museum. Watch the docudrama depicting this event. Tour the museum rich with the Civil War history, artifacts, and flags. The architectural style of drum and guns is amazing and so appropriate for the museum. The site director, Major Troy Marshall, is a true asset to...
A great historical lesson can be learned by visiting the Battlefield. A very nice gift shop with very reasonable prices for neat souvenirs. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. The tourist information center is also located at this site.
It was well worth driving here from Shenandoah for the morning. This was a rare late victory for the South in the Shenandoah valley on 5-15-64. It has been romanticized because some VMI cadets fought here. General Sigel was coming down to Stuanton and General Breckinridge kicked his butt here. This screwed up Grant's chance to have troops come in...
For $12 per adult I great find! I loved the way this man interjected his personal information at the end of the displays. Also offers a great selection of items for purchase.

STEVEN JONES, PETITIONER-APPELLANT/ CROSS-RESPONDENT,v.CITY OF MILLVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, RESPONDENT-RESPONDENT/ CROSS-APPELLANT.
On appeal from the Civil Service Commission, Docket No. 2009-1484.
Submitted October 24, 2011
Before Judges Ashrafi and Fasciale.
This case involves disciplinary charges against a police officer, Steven Jones, who appeals from a July 23, 2010 final decision of the Civil Service Commission (the Commission) adopting the findings of an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) that Jones engaged in conduct unbecoming an officer and violated department rules. City of Millville Police Department (MPD) cross-appeals from the Commission's imposition of a ninety-day suspension as reduced by the ALJ from a six-month suspension. We affirm on all issues.
The charges that MPD filed are based on Jones' participation in fraudulent reimbursement claims for meals consumed during out-of-state police training seminars and his untruthful statements during an internal affairs investigation into the matter.
From October 3 to 6, 2005, Jones attended a seminar for which he later sought reimbursement for meal expenses. He provided receipts to Sherry Trout, an administrative secretary, in accordance with MPD's reimbursement policy.*fn1 Ten of the receipts were identical in appearance except for numbering, and none included details regarding the restaurants or meals. Trout prepared a voucher and signed Jones' name at the direction of the police chief, who along with the director of public safety approved the voucher. Jones then received a check for his expenses.
From June 26 to 30, 2006, Jones attended another seminar and sought reimbursement for meal expenses. Jones again submitted receipts, two of which were identical in form and "strikingly similar to those previously submitted in October 2005." Again, Trout prepared a voucher and signed Jones' name at the direction of the police chief, and again the chief and director of public safety approved the voucher and Jones received a check.
From September 25 to 28, 2006, Jones attended a third seminar and sought reimbursement for meals in accordance with MPD's policy. He submitted various receipts that were identical in form and close in number. Trout prepared a voucher and signed Jones' name, and the chief approved the reimbursement.
On March 19, 2008, MPD served Jones with a Preliminary Notice of Disciplinary Action, alleging: misconduct, N.J.S.A. 40A:14-147; conduct unbecoming a police officer; incompetency, inefficiency or failure to perform duties, N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(1); conduct unbecoming a public employee, N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(6); and other sufficient cause, N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(11), including violations of the MPD's rules and regulations.
On November 28, 2007, Frank Nolan, an investigator with the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office, interviewed Jones regarding the receipts he submitted for reimbursement, and other non-related matters. Thereafter, Jones also discussed the investigation with Nolan and the Prosecutor's Office in a telephone call. On March 13, 2008, Frank Guaracini, III, interviewed Jones as part of an internal affairs investigation into the MPD regarding submission of illegitimate receipts for reimbursement for expenses incurred at seminars.
On July 9, 2008, a departmental hearing was held. MPD met its burden of proof concerning the statutory charges, and Jones received a six-month suspension commencing March 18, 2008 and ending September 19, 2008. MPD agreed to merge the common law charges. Jones appealed to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL).
Administrative Law Judge William Todd Miller conducted a hearing on two days. MPD called two witnesses: Trout and Nolan. On October 22, 2009, Trout admitted that she was not aware of any facts indicating that Jones incurred the claimed expenses. She testified that based on her experience processing vouchers for reimbursement, the expenses Jones claimed were typically expected. Trout agreed that the expenses were consistent with other receipts she received and with MPD's reimbursement policy.
At the close of MPD's case, Jones moved to dismiss the disciplinary charges pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:14-147, which sets a forty-five day statute of limitations for bringing disciplinary charges on certain grounds. On March 9, 2010, the ALJ denied the motion and issued a written opinion finding no violation of the statute. On April 21, 2010, the proceeding continued with Jones calling his sole witness, Edward Zadroga, a police officer with the MPD. Jones did not testify.
On May 28, 2010, the ALJ issued an initial decision, sustaining the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer, N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(6), and the charge of other sufficient causes including violations of the MPD's rules and regulations, N.J.A.C. 4A:2-2.3(a)(11). The ALJ dismissed all other charges and reduced the six-month suspension to ninety days.
The ALJ observed that Nolan had analyzed the receipts and vouchers that Jones had submitted:
Nolan's analysis confirmed that identical types of receipts were submitted by Jones for three different seminars. The time period spanned several months yet the receipts had striking commonality. There were no restaurant establishments preprinted on any of the receipts. They appeared unreliable and most likely supply store stock. . . . . For example, the ten receipts submitted by Officer Jones for the October 25, 2005, conference in Ocean City, Maryland all bore check numbers within the range from 06250 to 06500. The ten receipts submitted by Sergeant Harvey*fn2 also bore check numbers within the same range. Indeed they were submitted for three separate conferences over a one year period.
Further, the ALJ observed that Jones gave contradictory statements to investigators:
Jones claimed during the investigative interviews by the [Prosecutor's] office and the police department that he turned in the receipts that were given to him from whatever place he ate breakfast, lunch or dinner. He filled in the amounts on them because he received the receipts in blank. . . . . He later stated in another interview that the amounts were filled in by restaurant personnel. . . . . Jones could not explain why or how different restaurants provided the very same sequential receipts. Nor could he explain during the investigation how Harvey and he provided the same sequential receipts even though they were in different geographic locations (Maryland and New Jersey).
The ALJ found that Jones attended the police seminars, incurred reasonable meal expenses that were within the allowable ranges for reimbursable expenses under the MPD policy, and submitted those reimbursement claims in the form of receipts purchased from a supply store such as Staples. Then, the judge elaborated:
The conduct violation occurred during the investigation. Jones was questioned by outside counsel for Millville and by the County Prosecutor's Office. Jones told both investigative bodies that the receipts came from the restaurants he patronized. . . . . This was not true. It was no coincidence that the receipts from numerous days, different restaurants and different states presented were identical in form and sequentially close. They were obviously from a common source. It is highly unlikely that different restaurants would have receipts with almost identical numbers. Nolan's analysis was convincing and reliable that Jones was using stock receipts. . . . And Jones did not testify, leaving Nolan's testimony unrefuted.
Thus, the ALJ found that Jones untruthfully told investigators that the receipts came from restaurants, instead of explaining that they were purchased from a supply store. Also, the ALJ found the testimony of Trout and Nolan to be "reliable and trustworthy," and he further noted that they had been sequestered and that their testimony was based on official records.
After addressing the applicable law, the ALJ pointed out that although the form of the submitted receipts could have easily been explained, and the amounts claimed for reimbursement were nominal, Jones had been untruthful to the investigators when the receipts were questioned. The ALJ observed that the MPD reimbursement policy did not specify any particular form of receipt, and that if Jones had "admitted that he used store bought receipts, in lieu of official receipts, no discipline should have followed." The ALJ concluded that it was the untruthfulness to investigators that constituted conduct unbecoming a police officer and violations of the MPD Rules and Regulations. Jones appealed to the Commission.
The Commission considered the record, conducted an independent evaluation, and on July 23, 2010, accepted and adopted the factual findings and legal conclusions of the ALJ.*fn3
Thereafter, Jones appealed and MPD cross-appealed.
On appeal, Jones argues that the ALJ's credibility findings are erroneous, and that the ALJ erred by denying his motion to dismiss. MPD contends that the Commission erred by imposing a ninety-day suspension, rather than six months.
This court only disturbs a final agency determination if it was arbitrary and capricious, meaning "willful and unreasoning action, without consideration and in disregard of circumstances." Trantino v. N.J. State Parole Bd., 166 N.J. 113, 201 (2001) (internal quotation marks omitted). A "determination predicated on unsupported findings is the essence of arbitrary and capricious action." In re Boardwalk Regency Corp., 180 N.J. Super. 324, 334 (App. Div. 1981), modified on other grounds 90 N.J. 361, appeal dismissed sub nom. Perlman v. Att'y Gen. of N.J., 459 U.S. 181, 103 S. Ct. 562, 74 L. Ed. 2d 927 (1982).
Where the Legislature has "'delegated a great amount of discretion to the administrative experts, deference must be accorded to the administrative agency's expertise and experience in its domain.'" In re The Harborage, 300 N.J. Super. 363, 379 (App. Div. 1997) (quoting Riverside Gen. Hosp. v. N.J. Hosp. Rate Setting Comm'n, 98 N.J. 458, 469 (1985)). Thus, there is a strong presumption of the agency's reasonableness, and the challenger carries the burden. In re Holy Name Hosp., 301 N.J. Super. 282, 295 (App. Div. 1997).
We reject Jones' contention that the ALJ made inappropriate findings of credibility, and conclude that substantial evidence supports the ALJ's decision to sustain disciplinary charges.
The ALJ specifically found that Jones failed to tell the truth to investigators. Jones offers no reason on appeal to disturb the judge's finding that Nolan and Trout were "reliable and trustworthy." The judge found, "Nolan's analysis was convincing and reliable that Jones was using stock receipts." Jones chose not to testify, leaving Nolan unrefuted. The ALJ concluded that Jones' failure to maintain the high standards expected of police officers constituted conduct unbecoming a public employee and that, by that same conduct, Jones violated the rules and regulations of the MPD. We agree, as substantial and credible evidence in the record supports these findings and conclusions.
Next, Jones contends that the disciplinary charges against him were untimely because "all of the information (not just the 'sufficient' information) was available to the appointing authority well before the [45-]day time period requirement." (emphasis original). We disagree.
The 45-day rule under N.J.S.A. 40A:14-147 offers "a simple and uncomplicated procedural mechanism for the handling of administrative charges against a police officer." Grubb v. Borough of Hightstown, 331 N.J. Super. 398, 405 (App. Div. 2000). In relevant part, the statute provides:
A complaint charging a violation of the internal rules and regulations established for the conduct of a law enforcement unit shall be filed no later than the 45th day after the date on which the person filing the complaint obtained sufficient information to file the matter upon which the complaint is based. The 45-day time limit shall not apply if an investigation of a law enforcement officer for a violation of the internal rules or regulations of the law enforcement unit is included directly or indirectly within a concurrent investigation of that officer for a violation of the criminal laws of this State. The 45-day limit shall begin on the day after the disposition of the criminal investigation.
Accordingly, charges "must be filed 45 days after the date on which the department obtains 'sufficient information' to file the complaint." Grubb, supra, 331 N.J. Super. at 405.
The 45-day rule is not unlimited. When a police department seeks to sanction an officer for misconduct, as opposed to violation of a specific internal rule or regulation, the 45-day rule does not apply. McElwee v. Borough of Fieldsboro, 400 N.J. Super. 388, 394 (App. Div. 2008).
Here, the ALJ correctly found that the 45-day rule did not apply to the charge of conduct unbecoming an officer. Thus, Jones' timing argument could potentially only apply to violations of the MPD's rules and regulations. However, this argument is unpersuasive.
We have stated that "where there is a concurrent investigation of the officer for a violation of the criminal laws of the state . . . the 45-day limit begins on the day after the disposition of the criminal investigation." Grubb, supra, 331 N.J. Super. at 405. Here, MPD was notified that the criminal investigation concluded on February 15, 2008, and served Jones with disciplinary charges on March 19, 2008. Thus, the judge correctly found that charges were brought within the 45-day time period and denied Jones' motion to dismiss.
Finally, MPD urges us to reverse the ALJ's reduction of Jones' suspension from six months to ninety days. It argues that a police officer who undermines an internal investigation should not receive a reduced penalty. We disagree.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has recognized that a police officer "'represents law and order to the citizenry and must present an image of personal integrity and dependability in order to have the respect of the public.'" Carter v. Twp. of Bordentown, 191 N.J. 474, 485-86 (2007) (quoting Twp. of Moorestown v. Armstrong, 89 N.J. Super. 560, 566 (App. Div. 1965), certif. denied, 47 N.J. 80 (1966)). However, the Court has "cautioned [that] courts should take care not to substitute their own views of whether a particular penalty is correct for those of the body charged with making that decision." Ibid. Thus, a reviewing court will modify a sanction only when necessary to bring the agency's action into conformity with its delegated authority. The [c]court has no power to act independently as an administrative tribunal or to substitute its judgment for that of the agency. It can interpose its views only where it is satisfied that the agency has mistakenly exercised its discretion or misperceived its own statutory authority. [In re License Issued to Zahl, 186 N.J. 341, 353-54 (2006) (quoting In re Polk License Revocation, 90 N.J. 550, 578 (1982)).]
We ask only whether the sanction was "so disproportionate to the offense, in the light of all the circumstances, as to be shocking to one's sense of fairness." Id. at 354 (internal quotation marks omitted).
In Carter, supra, 191 N.J. at 483, the New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division's decision that removal of a police officer for sleeping on duty was excessive. The Court held that the Appellate Division had erred in "rejecting the well-reasoned analysis of the Board, considering the principle of progressive discipline to be an absolute mandate of law[,] and regarding [the police officer's] prior disciplinary history as insufficient." Id. at 486. The Court recognized that the "proposed sanction [need not] be based on the severity of the current infraction alone," and that an employee's past record "'may be resorted to for guidance in determining the appropriate penalty for the current specific offense.'" Id. at 483-84 (quoting Town of W.N.Y. v. Bock, 38 N.J. 500, 522-23 (1962)). Thus, the Court concluded that the ALJ was not arbitrary or capricious in concluding that dismissal was appropriate for a police officer who pulls his patrol car to the side of the road to sleep on three successive nights, for periods as long as two hours at a time, who fails as a result to attend to his police duties, and who fails to promptly respond to another officer's call for assistance. [Id. at 486.]
Here, the ALJ assessed Jones' disciplinary history, found "one prior major disciplinary action for twelve days and a few minor matters," but also found that Jones had several noteworthy commendations. The judge considered the public trust, that truthfulness is vital to law enforcement, and concluded that the six-month suspension should be reduced because "(1) several of the charges are being dismissed, (2) Jones has a minor disciplinary history, and (3) there were no proofs that Jones padded his expenses or was paid more than he was entitled."
This result is neither shocking to one's sense of fairness nor disproportionate to the findings.
Considering the record as a whole, we conclude there is sufficient credible evidence to support the Commissioner's decision, Harborage, supra, 300 N.J. Super. at 378 (quoting Mayflower Sec. Co. v. Bureau of Sec., 64 N.J. 85, 92-93 (1973)), and affirm substantially for the reasons expressed by the ALJ as adopted by the Commission.

How can I remove a gel ink stain from clothing? The suggested method on this site does not work.
By Jim L.
Have you tried hair spray, it works on ink pen in even after months of being on a car seat or floor mat but I am not sure about gel ink. You just buy cheap hairspray in can and spray it on the spot, then blot it with a paper towel. I probably will take a couple of times but it should come out and leaves no residue. Not as expensive at a lot of other things either. Good luck. I have taken out printer ink off my cloth seats in the van with this.

OK, lets review this particular obvious mockary of what most of us gamer nerds know and love. first of all. no one in that tourny could have beaten cloud, he beat bahamaut, props. second of which, there were MANY Foolish fights in this tourny that were done SO horribly, Examples are, Kirby Vs a Freaking GUNDAM, BAM one hit DEATH. no questions asked. 2 link and cloud. oh yeah an ARROW will kill cloud, be he can kill the strongest of all summons with no problem. Zero vs Sasuke, YES sasuke could have MAYBE won, but for one, sasuke Is NOT A Tai Jutsu Master, therefore he cannot do what Rocklee can, Lazer Vs flesh=missing limbs sorry. ah in your opening Cinema there were DBZ charectors, what happened them ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? also, last battle, there were several blows that link, IN NO way could have survived. i mean come on, he has some bombs and a bow and arrow. how dumb can uou be to think he honestly won a tournament with,cloud,Zero,Bass(who most likely should have won if the two previous didnt,) and Heavy arms were there. PLEASE never make a flash again because you obviously have no idea what any of these charectors are capable of doing.
Thank you for your time.
Since you took the time to write such a long and bad review giving it 0 because of reasons that have already been discussed here are the angry words of QC for you.
QC Sais:
"Ok guys, you really got me MAD now. Im tired of you always saying '' omgzors, l00k at th1s m0v1e it sucks0rs b3c4use my favorite guy didnt win, im gonna cry.
Theres something you guys need to know, EVERY characters can win, even if they are pink, wear green, EVEN if they are yellow with black stripes called electrobuzz. Why Buu didnt win? simple, what if Game_Max HATES buu? (wich I dont) and he chose him only to beat the crap out of him? we dont have to do researches to know if a character can win or not.they all can. i dont freaking care if buu can do stuff like kamehameha, Zelos has a sword, and has magic abilities. So why cant he win? Stop voting low only because your favorite character won.To be frank, i would have liked cloud to win, but he didnt, have I cried like you did? no. You guys have NO control on what we want to do.
And yes, there is 2 bass. but who cares. I understand sonic should be in, but suggestions like this are appreciated. We will think about it for the 3rd.
This reply is not only for you, but for EVERYONE who complained about who won."
IF you even bothered to read what was in the authors comment on the page with the flash you'd see this exact message. Next time before reviewing read the authors comment and you would have seen a problem that has already been brought up and answered.
Dont like this sorry
choreography is bad in most of the fights and since this movie uses sprites ( and all they do is take turns attacking each other), the animation looks horrible. I would like it if ONE person would at least trace the sprites into their own template and make it cleaner. Sound is decent though, no static or bad quality.
cool but odd match ups..
it was good and im not a kirby fan but i cant believe he ended up getting killed accidentally. also although i know it would have taken longer to plan out. it would have been cool if you could choose who won the final fight.
Wow.. nt, but a definate blam.
Aside from the fact of totally ignoring what each of the characters were capable of... wait, wasn't that the whole point of the tournament? In the end i suppose it wasn't, at best this is a battle of favoritism and people giving their favorites powers beyond what they would actually be capable of. If you wanted link to win set him some realistic goals, Its ok that he beat kirby and all, but after kirby was able to defeat a gundam, maybe kirby should have one and pissed on everyone who ever believed in anything the anime's and games were about. I would just like to thank you collaborators for insulting all of us who enjoyed the games and animes you portrayed with the utmost unrealism.
Some one who actually watched and played the games with the characters you portrayed,
p.s. enjoy your blam.
nice and lame...
Some of the battles was nice, and some others was totally lame! In exemple, the one with Shadow and Master Chief... Dying with a simple hit of car is impossible for him! And this was totally lame! Also, In the fight with Naruto... where did he get his power like kamehameha? I watch the animes, and he never did some kind of power like that. But a skill as powerfull as that would be rasengan, but it's not long range. I'll look the number one now... In hope all the battles will be nice, with no one lame...

The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited™ is the latest chapter of the award-winning franchise – and will bring the legendary experience online to consoles for the first time.Read full description
" As a fan of both MMORPGs and the Elder Scrolls series, I found it to be one of the most rewarding games in the genre in years." [IGN]
The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited™ is the latest chapter of the award-winning franchise – and will bring the legendary experience online to consoles for the first time. Explore the far reaches of Skyrim, the mysterious lands of Morrowind, the sprawling metropolis of Daggerfall and beyond. The choices you make, from the alliance you join to the battles you fight, will shape your destiny and the world of Tamriel.
After more than 20 years of best-selling, award-winning fantasy role-playing games, the Elder Scrolls series goes online on console. Experience this multiplayer roleplaying game on your own or together with your friends, guild mates, and thousands of alliance members. Explore dangerous caves and dungeons in Skyrim, or craft quality goods to sell in the city of Daggerfall. Embark upon adventurous quests across Tamriel and engage in massive player versus player battles, or spend your days at the nearest fishing hole, or reading one of many books of lore. Use any weapon or armor at any time and customize your abilities to play the way you want. The choices are yours and the decisions you make will shape your destiny and the persistent world of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is set roughly 1,000 years before the events in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the coming of the Dragonborn, and just before the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel. Three Alliances have emerged across the continent, each struggling for supremacy over the land. As these great powers battle one another for control of the Imperial City – and with it all of Tamriel – darker forces are moving to destroy the world.

I've been having so much fun playing this. I would recommend playing this with friends though, as playing alone to me seems a bit eh. I should of waited though, could of gotten the gold edition. I wish GMG offered crowns to be bought on here, so I can get a good deal to be able to buy the megapack bundle. Buy the gold version! If you don't, you still won't be disappointed with the base game!
This MMO is not a run of the mill MMO nor is it Skyrim online. I like that you can play it your way. You do not have to have alts to get the full experience. If your build is not working, you can change it; no need to delete and roll another character. The game offers a lot of fun; not just a grind fest. It is great for social players and still offers a lot for mavericks. I think that the PvP is the best among any game and the exploration is itself is fun and immersive. The only drawback is that while there is so much to do, there is a lot of stuff that WoW has built in over the years that is not yet in ESO, such as holiday events or tons of dungeons/raids.
This game really has taken a turn for the better. It's an extremely solid mmo. The thing I really like about ESO is how put together it is compared to other MMOs it doesn't feel cheap and just made to make money, When zemimax online made this they wanted people to enjoy it. The quests are very memorable and I actually care about care about the people I'm helping, like I'm actually making a difference in the world. The classes are extremely flexible, so you could play a tanking night blade with a great-sword and still be extremely viable the game feels like it encourages creativity in builds. Overall ESO is a great MMO if you're new to MMOs or a veteran.
I tried this game first when it was still in beta in early 2014 and it was quite a tedious attempt at making Skyrim lookalike in online environment. Most people that pre-ordered the game really regretted it and it ended up losing a huge number of customers within months. Luckily, the devs decided to switch to b2p model and rework the game from scratch, reintroducing it as a new title. And boy, did it work! This is such a different title from what I played last year, let me describe the details in point form: 1) the gameplay is really unique - awesome character progression with unlimited variations for your build, including acquiring special skills all of which have to be practiced to grow them in power. Not to mention that this is one of the few twitch based games, meaning that you have to aim and shoot accurately and not just button mash. 2) the graphics are closer to Morrowind than to Skyrim, but this also means the game runs good on older computers. It's definitely not as forgiving as WoW, but you'll get good framerates even on older gaming laptops. To top it off, the special effects are really good looking and during huge PVP fights you'll love watching the magic of fireworks flying in all directions. 3) sound and music are great, maybe not as epic as Skyrim, but on part with other Elder Scroll games and better than most other MMORPGs 4) Community is pretty good and the fact that you have to join a guild in order to trade resources and make money is a good addition as well. There are obviously some bad sheep out there, but overall, it's a more mature community than other games. 5) PVP is a hit or miss - it's very large scale and you do need to get good at it as the combat is twitch based, but it's rewarding and fun if you have a good group. Sieges are epic too. Overall: Great title, especially if you can get it on sale. No monthly fee means you can definitely enjoy it for a long time.
I've waited quite a while to pick up The Elder Scrolls Online, and I'm glad I did. Many of the patches that has been released since the game came out has help this game become something more than your typical MMORPG. The game runs incredibly smooth on my GTX 970. I can get at least 60fps when I'm outside of cities and towns, only dipping to 45fps when I venture inside. The voice acting and story are quite interesting, with different branching parts based on your choices. The character customizing are appealing yet the most wonderful option is that your race and class does not limit on how you want to play. If you want to be a sword-wielding Sorcerer or a staff-wielding Nightblade, then you can be just that. As someone who tried out a lot of MMO over the years. Ranging from WoW, to Tera Online. This is one of the best ones on the market right now.

Autism is no longer considered a rare disease, and the Center for Disease Control now estimates that upwards of 730,000 children in the US struggle with this isolating brain disorder. New research is leading to greater understanding of and ability to treat the disorder at an earlier age. It is hoped that further genetic and imaging studies will lead to biologically based diagnostic techniques that could help speed detection and allow early, more effective intervention. Edited by two leaders in the field, this volume offers a current survey and synthesis of the most important findings of the neuroscience behind autism of the past 20 years. With chapters authored by experts in each topic, the volume explores etiology, neuropathology, imaging, and pathways/models. Offering a broad background of ASDs with a unique focus on neurobiology, the volume offers more than the others on the market with a strictly clinical focus or a single authored perspective that fails to offer expert, comprehensive coverage. Researchers and graduate students alike with an interest in developmental disorders and autism will benefit, as will autism specialists across psychology and medicine looking to expand their expertise. This title uniquely explores ASDs from a neurobiological angle, looking to uncover the molecular/cellular basis rather than to merely catalog the commonly used behavioral interventions. It offers comprehensive coverage that synthesizes widely dispersed research, serving as one-stop shopping for neurodevelopmental disorder researchers and autism specialists. Edited work with chapters authored by leaders in the field around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage available.
About Joseph D. BuxbaumDr. Joseph Buxbaum is a world-renowned molecular geneticist who has been intimately affiliated with the Seaver Autism Center since joining the faculty at Mount Sinai in 1997. Dr. Buxbaum was recruited in part to establish a molecular genetics program in autism spectrum conditions within Mount Sinai. As such, he was the Director of Molecular Genetics in the Seaver Autism Center for seven years and took over Directorship of the Seaver Autism Center itself in 2008. Dr. Buxbaum has focused on understanding the molecular and genetic basis of autism spectrum conditions, which will allow for a better understanding of what causes them, leading to the development of novel therapeutics for the negative aspects of these disorders. Additionally, Dr. Buxbaum heads the Laboratory of Molecular Neuropsychiatry, which has taken the findings of the causes of autism and translated them into animal models where therapeutic approaches can be evaluated. In this context, Dr. Buxbaum has established the Autism Model Systems Initiative, which makes use of multiple experimental systems to develop and evaluate novel therapeutics in autism spectrum conditions. Dr. Buxbaum has taken the lead in collaborations with multiple independent sites to ensure that the best science in the service of the families is carried out. Dr. Buxbaum is a lead investigator in the Autism Genetics Consortium, the Autism Genome Project, and the Autism Case Control Cohort, and is a part of the Psychiatric Genetics Consortium. These large Consortia have the benefit of advancing the best science at the fastest pace. As the founder and co-leader of the Autism Sequencing Consortium, Dr. Buxbaum is part of an international group of scientists who share autism samples, data, and ideas in order to accelerate our understanding of the causes and treatments of autism. Dr. Buxbaum, the G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Professor, has received numerous awards for his research. He has received recognition from the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) in the form of the Daniel H. Efron award for "excellence in research in neuropsychophamacology" (2005), as well as from the Eden Institute Foundation for his "commitment and dedication to improving the quality of life in individuals with autism" (2008). In 2010, Dr. Buxbaum received the Richard D. Todd Memorial Award from the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics, the Joel Elkes Research Award from ACNP, and the Evans Research Award from the Marine Biological Laboratory. He also received the 2011 Dean's Award for Excellence in Translational Science. Dr. Buxbaum has published over 150 publications in esteemed journals and his work on autism and related conditions has been published in major journals including Nature, Nature Genetics, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Molecular Psychiatry, and Biological Psychiatry. He is the co-Editor-in-chief of Molecular Autism, a journal that publishes cutting-edge research in autism genetics. To read Dr. Buxbaum's blog, visit http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/category/neuroscience/ Dr. Hof is the Irving and Dorothy Regenstreif Research Professor of Neuroscience and the Vice-Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He also leads the Center of Excellence on Brain Aging of the Friedman Brain Institute. His laboratory has extensive expertise in the pathology of neuropsychiatric disorders and has established an international reputation in quantitative approaches to neuroanatomy and studies of brain evolution. Dr. Hof earned his MD from the University of Geneva, School of Medicine in Switzerland. He came to the USA as a postgraduate fellow at the Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, CA. In 1989 he came to Mount Sinai School of Medicine as a Senior Research Associate and joined the Faculty there in 1990. He is also a Professor of Geriatrics and Ophthalmology at Mount Sinai. Dr. Hof's research is directed towards the study of selective neuronal vulnerability in dementing illnesses and aging using classical neuropathologic as well as modern quantitative morphologic methods to determine the cellular features that render the human brain uniquely vulnerable to degenerative disorders. Dr. Hof also conducts analyses of the distribution and connectivity patterns of pyramidal neuron subpopulations in the macaque monkey cerebral cortex in young and very old animals to study possible age-related changes in the neurochemical characteristics of the neurons of origin of corticocortical projections. He develops stereologic, high-resolution morphometric, and imaging tools for the quantitative study of neuroanatomical specimens and brain atlas development. Among his major contributions, Dr. Hof demonstrated that specific neurons are selectively vulnerable in dementing disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. He has made contributions to quantifying the differences between normal aging brains and Alzheimer's disease, as well as other mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and autism. Dr. Hof is also the curator of a mammalian brain collection that includes a large series of great ape specimens, as well as an extensive sample of marine mammals. He has contributed considerably to our understanding of the structure of the cetacean brain and has identified, in select mammalian brains, specific neuronal types in parts of the cerebral cortex known to be involved in social awareness, judgment, and attention, that can be considered as markers of adaptive mechanisms and functions in response to particular ecological pressures.

Guitar skills 'can be improved by a good night's sleep'
People who play the guitar may find they perform better on the musical instrument after having a good night's sleep.
This is the suggestion of a new study carried out by researchers from the Trent University in Ontario, Canada, who published their results in the Sleep journal.
Using the game Guitar Hero III, scientists tested out the coordination abilities of two separate groups one set of people who had been asleep for 12 hours and another who had been awake for the same period.
Those who slept were able to play the right notes 68 per cent of the time, while those who had not managed accuracy levels of 63 per cent, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Dr Kevin Peters, one of the researchers, said: "Consistent with previous studies, these results demonstrate a significant link between sleep and motor learning."
Earlier this week, Green Day star Billie Joe Armstrong told MTV that he believes video games which simulate guitar playing can encourage youngsters to pick up real musical instruments.Posted on 9 Jun 2010 13:15 to category : Instruments News
