She plans to fight for whats fair. She said, "I do not believe any community should be able to go forth." Donnery is referring to the Village of Kiryas Joel building a pipeline to the Catskill Aqueduct. "I believe they've broken laws when they've not had to follow a law, added Donnery. Neuhaus said it is all about thinking ahead. In reference to the Orange County Government Center, he added he is willing to pay more now in order to save costs later. You don't want to save money today and spend and waste more over the long term, said Neuhaus. Both candidates agree the Valley View Center should not be shut down. However, Donnery said she wants to keep under the control of Orange County. That we should do whatever we had to do to have that happen, she said. 
Investigators allege the victim, identified only as Jane Doe 1, met Avila through an online dating website called Waplog.com. He pretended to be only 18 and used the fake name Alex Valesquez. Authorities later determined that Valesquez is really 26-year-old Benjamin Avila of Anaheim. The victim also told detectives that she had sex with her boyfriend's uncle, who was later identified as 63-year-old Jose Luis Gonzalez of Anaheim. The alleged sexual relationships occurred from March 2013 until September 2013. The girl said the men told her that she had to have sex with Gonzalez in order to continue to see Avila. Investigators discovered explicit text messages between the girl and Avila. They said the messages also implicated Gonzalez.

By Reuven Blau , Simone Weichselbaum AND Corky Siemaszko / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, October 26, 2013, 6:45 PM Comment Pearl Gabel/ New York Daily News Cherell Manuel (white shirt, black sweater); her daughter Diamond Williams (black dress); daughter Tajiri Williams (Orange Attorney sweater); daughter Nahj-Ja Manuel, 7, and nephew Cameron Flewellen, 2, in one of their rooms at the Manhattan at Times Square Hotel. The family, from Far Rockaway, was relocated after Hurricane Sandy, and has been sent to several different hotels in Manhattan. Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, shes a New Yorker living like a tourist in Times Square. Before the storm, Cherell Manuels home was a two-family house on Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway. She had a job cooking soul food at a Brooklyn restaurant. Now what passes for home is a room on the sixth floor of the Manhattan Times Square Hotel. She has no job. And the streets outside are full of strangers. It's been really hard for me being in the middle of crowds with all the tourists, said Manuel, 46. 
John Lewis said. When we needed to organize marches in Atlanta for the King celebration, James Orange was there. When organized labor needed someone, James Orange was there. When we needed someone to go to South Africa, James Orange was there Elder Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and voluntarily exited SCLC president lauded Orange for his organizing abilities, while utilizing the occasion to relate to the national Occupy Movement. The timing of this couldnt be better with thousands occupying all over the world. Im convinced that it would be better organized, more focused on an agenda and with a result by now, if James was here; because James was a master organizer," she said. 
And they even have to go as far as turn off their lights. It's another part of the law that has a group called California Reform Sex Offender Laws upset (CA RSOL), the part that requires sex offenders to put up signs that say "no candy or treats at the residence" "If that sign is posted it puts into harm's way both physically and emotionally the person who is posting that sign as well as their family members and their friends," said Chance Oberstein, an attorney with CA RSOL. The group says requiring a sign makes sex offenders potential targets of violence and violates their rights. "That's certainly one side of the argument the other side though is this is to protect the children and if it protects one child then it's well worth it," said Wayne Winthers, Orange City Attorney, Nearly 100 registered sex offenders live in Orange and are affected by the ordinance according to CA RSOL. But some parents are more concerned about how children are affected, like Shannon Kane, a mother of two. "Everybody has to know hey you're a sex offender. You are protecting the kids. I wouldn't want my kids going to somebody's house and if they had a sign saying no treats no candy here, that's fine," said Kane This is not the first time a city has taken the step of requiring sex offenders to put up signs on Halloween. A similar ordinance in Simi Valley was successfully challenged in federal court last year. The city of Orange hasn't had any violent incidents targeting sex offenders since the ordinance went into effect in 2010, according to the City Attorney. Still City Council will consider removing the portion of the ordinance requiring signs at Tuesday's meeting. 
"All you have to do is look for the house with the sign." "Instead of protecting the residents of the city of Orange, this ordinance harms hundreds of citizens in that city," said Frank Lindsay, a board member for the group. Bellucci filed a similar lawsuit last year to strike down a Simi Valley ordinance that also required people convicted of sex crimes to post a sign. That law also banned them from putting up Halloween displays and outside lighting on Oct. 31. But the day before the Simi Valley law went into effect, federal court Judge Perry Anderson issued a temporary restraining order barring the city from enforcing the sign provision. The judge let stand provisions of the ordinance that keep sex offenders from turning on outside lights, decorating their homes and answering their doors to trick-or-treaters.

The junior roller derby mixed scrimmage, entitled Gritty in Pink, will be conducted to show support for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, and to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Gritty in Pink will be held at the Skate Station Funworks located at 230 Blanding Blvd., in Orange Park, Florida, at 6:00pm on Sunday, October 6th. Skate Station doors will open at 5:30pm for the bout. Admission for the event is $9 and children ages 10 and under are admitted free. The Cherry Bomb Charmers are proud to offer free admission to all active-duty military with valid military ID. We are thrilled to partner with such a prominent local business for this event, said Cherry Bomb Charmers President and General Manager Dana Wolfe, Its fantastic to see a business leader like Mazda City of Orange Park support not only a worthy cause like breast cancer awareness, but local junior roller derby as well. We are extremely appreciative of their support. Mazda City of Orange Park, located at 6916 Blanding Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida, is an automobile dealership specializing in the sale of new Mazdas, as well as automotive parts and service. 
Musick Facility near Irvine, which would bring in an estimated $35 million to the department and help close its budget gap. But the central Orange County community of Orange raised early objections, saying the move would violate a 1995 agreement it has with the county concerning the Theo Lacy Facility, which is across the street from the bustling Block at Orange shopping center. Orange City Manager John Sibley had said the city was considering a lawsuit. In addition to the annual payout -- which amounts to 1.5% of what the county will get per detainee per day - the city will pay only about $5,000 a year to use the Sheriffs Department shooting range. It currently pays three times that. In return, the city has agreed not to sue. The agreement was approved on a 4-1 vote Tuesday, with Supervisor John Moorlach casting the lone negative vote. 
Post your opinion here Also Read: Immigration Bill: 8 Indian IT cos form lobbying consortium TCS declined to comment on the issue, citing it as a legal matter. The issue relates to a contract for development of a tax collection and management system for Orange County in 2007-2008. TCS won the bid for the job for an amount of about USD 8 million. According to the contract, Tata America International Corporation (TCS America) was to develop and implement the Property Tax Management System Project for Orange County. The lawsuit was filed in April this year in the California Central District Court, people with knowledge of the development said. It alleges that TCS made "a series of false promises and intentional misrepresentations" during the bidding process and "made promises to complete the project on a budget and according to a timeline with which they had no intention of complying." The lawsuit further claims: "The county has suffered millions of dollars of damages as a result of defendants' wrongful conduct and it will continue to suffer damages for the years it will take to develop a replacement for the failed project." When contacted, a TCS spokesperson said: "As a matter of policy we 
21, said Steve Lyle of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. That's in California's Central Valley, one of the nation's richest agricultural regions. The California Department of Food and Agriculture in Sacramento is working with the affected county to plan a quarantine, which is expected to go into effect "next week at the earliest," said Lyle. It will require that all fruit coming out of the affected area be specially cleaned before it is packed. "It would be more difficult harvest and pack the fruit. But there wouldn't be much impact on consumers," said Joel Nelsen, president of California Citrus Mutual, a citrus producers trade association based in Exeter, Calif. The insect isn't the real reason growers are worried. The psyllid (pronounced SILL-id) is a small, winged, brown-speckled insect. It likes to eat young citrus leaves and is mostly a nuisance. But it can carry the world's most damaging citrus disease called Huang Long Bing, or Yellow Dragon Disease. 
Its a one-year term. Severns has served on the board since 2007, most recently as vice chairman. Hes also a board member at Sunkist Growers and vice chairman of the management committee for the industry-funded Citrus Pest and Disease Prevention Program. Severns is a former director of the Citrus Research Board. He has represented the California citrus industry on various issues on trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. He is undoubtedly an asset to the California Citrus Mutual Board and an exemplary leader for the California citrus industry, California Citrus Mutual president Joel Nelsen said in a news release. The trade association has 2,200 grower members who represent 75% of Californias 275,000-acre, $2 billion citrus industry. 
But is this true? No. But yes. UnionWatch relies on compensation data provided by Orange County itself, which appears to buttress their claims. Average salaries for firefighters top $91,000, on top of which they typically receive another $65,000 in overtime and other supplementary pay. Firefighters then receive an employer pension employer contribution of around $61,000 and health insurance benefits of about $15,000, for a total of over $234,000. Heres why UnionWatch.org is incorrect. 
They were pushed by these very legislators, Kerns said. Were going directly to the source. But even if they succeed in forcing a recall election, proponents may face an uphill fight. Four of the Democrats won office with at least 64 percent of the vote. Only Quirk-Silva, against whom recall backers will need to gather the most signatures, represents a somewhat swing district; she won election in 2012, 52 percent to 48 percent. Legislative elections here are far more expensive than they are anywhere else, a difference that favors incumbents and the party organizations behind them. In California, the teacher unions are far better organized than gun groups, and they would work hard to protect Democratic incumbents, Pitney said. For the moment, at least, hostility toward the state legislature has abated. We passed a budget on time and went through the year without additional tax increases. Things will probably change for the worse in the years ahead, but for now, Californians are keeping their pitchforks in the cellar. And unlike in Colorado, where gun-control advocates are pursuing another recall against a Democratic state senator that could flip control of the chamber, California Republicans are nowhere near exerting control over either legislative chamber. 
Orange County is not the first to promote itself. Los Angeles has a come-hither site chooselacounty.com that boasts: "More than 300 days of sunshine annually" and "Beyond entertainment 14 thriving industry clusters." San Diego's site, sandiegobusiness.org , promotes the county as "regionally focused, globally competitive," and touts its "more than 80 academic and applied research institutions." LocationOC contrasts Orange County's 6.8 percent unemployment rate with that of its neighbors in a chart showing San Diego's 8.1 percent, Ventura's 8.5 percent, Los Angeles' 10.2 percent, San Bernardino's 10.8 percent, and Riverside's 11.1 percent. The portal cites companies that have moved to Orange County since 2009, including several from nearby counties. The list includes Alorica, a call-center operator that transferred its headquarters from Chino to Irvine; Sizzler USA, which relocated from Culver City to Mission Viejo; and Extra Express, a shipping company that moved from Paramount to Brea. LocationOC links to information on state and local incentives and resources: enterprise zones, foreign trade zones, employee training, business permitting, and business support organizations. The council, which is funded by more than 300 of the county's largest employers, works to retain businesses that may be considering a move. According to council publications, a red team helped reduce an unnamed local manufacturer's costs by $750,000. 
Property owners would be restricted to using only Class A vehicles and fifth wheels at least 32 feet long and none more than 10 years old. Motor homes, or basically mini houses on wheels, that fit those standards range in prices from about $100,000 to more than $1 million. Despite all the added concessions, the Orange Beach Planning Commission in a 6-3 vote sent a unfavorable recommendation to the council, which is not bound by the boards decision. Village of Tannin View full size The town square of the Village of Tannin is shown on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013, in Orange Beach, Ala. A proposed upscale RV resort adjacent to the development has some residents up in arms while developers say it's the best use of the property and will bring more people in the area to invigorate commercial areas of the planned community.

The Bulldogs would get no closer than three points the rest of the way. Talbert finished with 13 kills and 18 digs for University while Ali Harty tallied 19 digs and Jordan Hefner had 9 kills. Once they got their confidence back up they were fine, said Hartman. They definitely were nervous and started thinking about not losing instead of winning. Lake Mary has been without all-around talent Katia Haak the past week after the junior suffered a concussion, but Lake Mary coach Brandon East said she might be available to play in the district title game. Weve had to make some adjustments this week, East said.

Orange was the most appropriate thing to do," said Vanessa Manley with the Orange Foundation. Orange lived in this community for 40 years. He lived here, but he was a global citizen. Attended by local political figures, activists, members of the "Blue Crew," friends and family; along with the staple three: Young, Lowery and Lewis; the dedication was celebratory as Orange was remembered for his contributions. Rev. Orange was the living embodiment of the connection between the union movement and the civil rights movement, said SCLC President Isaac Newton Farris, Jr; who stated that hanging a portrait of the leader was his first action upon assuming the office of SCLC national president. When we needed to organize the Selma to Montgomery march, James Orange was there, Cong. John Lewis said. When we needed to organize marches in Atlanta for the King celebration, James Orange was there. When organized labor needed someone, James Orange was there. 
at the hospital at 1201 W. La Veta Ave. The fire department was inspired by Orange City firefighter John Voris 15-year-old daughter Saylor, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is scheduled to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Some firefighters also donated blood and/or platelets while others passed out honorary badges and hats to children batting cancer and other illnesses and injuries. Whenever we can help a sick kid, were going to do everything we can, Orange City Fire Department Chief Pat Dibb said. Its in our blood. Saylor had the opportunity to shave Chief Dibb herself. It really feels like I just have so much support behind me, Saylor said. 
Both 2,4,5-T and TCDD are two of the substances found in Agent Orange and other Vietnam War-era defoliants. At least three of the barrels were labeled with markings from Dow Chemical Co. one of the primary manufacturers of Agent Orange. The Okinawa data, if accurate, are comparable to recent hot spot data collected in Vietnam. About half of the dioxin levels are above what (scientists) consider significant contamination, Clapp told The Japan Times. That assessment was supported by Dwernychuk, who, as chief scientist with Canadian firm Hatfield Consultants, pinpointed more than 20 potential dioxin hot spots in Vietnam. If some of the levels seen in the Okinawa sample data sheet for TCDD were found in the environment of Vietnam, recommendations would be presented for immediate remediation, with attention being paid to potential exposure pathways to local populations, Dwernychuk said. Medical experts have long contended that these hot spots in Vietnam have plagued local residents with serious illnesses, including cancers and birth defects. 
Weve talked to many of our clients, and there is this sense that if interest rates are going up, therell be a lot of shedding of employees, Ingham said. Lender-related employment may drop by at least half within the next year locally because of a decline in refinancing, he said. Since 2009, jobs in the mortgage industry have climbed 23 percent to about 38,000 in Orange County, according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Mortgage-related businesses employed about 2.9 percent of office workers as of the third quarter, down from 5.5 percent at the peak in 2005. After Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke indicated in May that the Fed may slow its buying of government and mortgage bonds, the average rate on 30-year home loans jumped to a two-year high of 4.58 percent from a near-record low of 3.35 percent, according to Freddie Mac data. 
A private detective who worked with the firm was investigated by the Orange County district attorney after allegedly tailing a Costa Mesa councilman from a local pub in 2012 and alerting police that the elected official appeared to be drunk. Then-Councilman Jim Righeimer, who was perceived as being a critic of the citys police union, later passed a sobriety test and produced a receipt for two Diet Cokes. In September, the law firm, which has represented law enforcement agencies across California, said that it would be winding down and eventually close," according to a letter signed by attorney Dammeier to one of his police association clients. The letter was obtained by the Daily Pilot . Dammeier also writes of a "mass exodus" of attorneys amid the recent "turmoil." It does not specify the timeline of the firm's dissolution. Righeimer, now the citys mayor, and another council member are suing the law firm, alleging emotional distress caused by its aggressive tactics. The Orange County Superior Court lawsuit, which also names the private detective and the Costa Mesa Police Officers' Assn., alleges intimidation and harassment.

He says his ex-wife used a falsified passport to smuggle their son from Anaheim to Zambia. The abduction was reported to the Cypress Police Department on Dec. 4, 2009. To the father's horror, Zambia does not have any treaty that would help him get his son back. "I almost lost it," he said. 
"I am generally confident," Lalloway said. For now, the first phase of Haddad's Great Park Neighborhoods, one of the region's largest residential developments, has begun sales on the northern edge of the future park. More than 700 homes are planned for this phase. In the first weekend the Pavilion Park neighborhood opened, an estimated 28,000 people toured model homes by eight home builders, according to FivePoint. Proceeds from the sale of homes will help finance the park. Much of the infrastructure needed such as sewers and streets would be shared between the park and the housing development and would be FivePoint's responsibility to install. Situated on the site of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, the park site is now mostly a series of fenced-in, aging military structures and old runways.

The district attorney's office did not return did not return phone calls seeking comment; neither did the managing partner for the law firm. A private detective who worked with the firm was investigated by the Orange County district attorney after allegedly tailing a Costa Mesa councilman from a local pub in 2012 and alerting police that the elected official appeared to be drunk. Then-Councilman Jim Righeimer, who was perceived as being a critic of the citys police union, later passed a sobriety test and produced a receipt for two Diet Cokes.

The letter was obtained by the Daily Pilot . Dammeier also writes of a "mass exodus" of attorneys amid the recent "turmoil." It does not specify the timeline of the firm's dissolution.

(AP) - A 43-year-old Orange County mother has been convicted of sexually assaulting two teenagers who visited her home to spend time with her children. The Orange County district attorney's office says Nicole McMillen of Irvine had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy for more than a year beginning in 2005. Prosecutors say she also had sexual contact with a 14-year-old male on multiple occasions last year. She was arrested after the 14-year-old told his mother about the incidents. At the time of the crimes, McMillen worked with kindergarteners at Peter's Canyon Elementary School in Tustin as a behavioral interventionist. She faces more than six years in prison and lifetime sex offender registration when she is sentenced in January. Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Starting the night off with Scorpionica from their Big Black Album and then roaring right into The Filthy and The Few off their new album.
