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. 
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. 
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.

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.

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.

"The clothes were gone, most of the furniture was gone, and I knew then what most likely had happened," John Cotton Sr. said. 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.

Demand from Asian buyers has been specific to pockets in Orange County, while a broader, lasting recovery in Southern California is dependent on an economic rebound, said Sussman, the UCLA professor. Localized Recovery Everything is still incremental, he said. Until theres a sustainable recovery in consumer confidence and employment and better availability of financing, the recovery in Southern California will be localized. In the meantime, investors such as Zhou remain confident that now is the time to purchase. Its a great investment for the long term, Zhou said. Its the best thing Ive ever done for myself other than coming to the United States . Wang, the Taiwanese native who manufactures toys in China, is happy enough with her Irvine home that she is considering buying another house -- in New Home Co.s Lambert Ranch development, which opens next month -- as an investment.

(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.

HLB also has been detected in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina, according to Hawkins. California, the nation's second largest citrus producer, has been bracing for its arrival since the first West Coast discovery of the psyllids near the Mexican border in 2008, followed by more of the tiny insects in Los Angeles in 2009. The 2011 United States citrus crop was worth $2.98 billion, according to the Department of Agriculture. California's citrus industry ranks second in the U.S. after Florida, according to USDA. California produced about 33% of the nation's total citrus, including 80% of the nation's fresh oranges. The only effective way to stop HLB is to take down the tree, which can't be replanted as long as the disease remains in the area. In Florida, growers have had to pull 200,000 acres worth of Orange Attorney and other citrus trees and totally abandon up to 60,000, Nelsen said. "The same thing's going on in Mexico and Brazil." Thus far the best hope for controlling the spread of the psyllids has been the introduction of tiny parasitic wasp called Tamarixia that attacks the psyllids just after they hatch. Mark Hoddle directs the Center for Invasive Species Research at the University of California-Riverside. 
Department of Agriculture. Damage from hurricanes, cold weather and other diseases also contributed to the decline. Total citrus production for the 2012-13 season declined 9 percent and the on-tree value of the fruit was down 32 percent compared with the previous season. Growers had invested heavily over the years in just a few varieties of fruit that grow well in Florida, particularly Valencia and Hamlin Orange Attorneys. That limited genetic diversity in the fields and left the industry vulnerable to disease. The University of Florida scientists have maintained a diverse collection of citrus plants and have been cross-breeding different varieties in their search for better rootstock on which to graft the Valencia and Hamlin trees. These cultivars are naturally genetically different and appear more tolerant to greening, although the researchers do not know exactly why. Among possible explanations are that the root system's ability to effectively deliver nutrition might shore up the tree's ability to stave off disease, or that something excreted by the root might suppress the bacteria as it progresses through the plant. Gmitter and Grosser are working to quickly propagate enough new rootstocks for a trial covering several hundred acres in various parts of the state. They estimate the trees will be ready for planting by spring 2015.

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. 
Last Modified: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 4:47 p.m. Port Orange officials should rethink the pressure they are applying on public schools within city limits. Apparently some of the fundraising that Volusia Countys public schools are doing within the city has irked the citys elders. Port Orange City Mayor Allen Green says he is concerned about a sea of signs marring the citys finely maintained image. City officials need to ponder the schools funding dilemma. And they probably should back off any attempts at official action. The city likely cannot regulate school property because of state law. Whats happening is the schools are under pressure to raise private money because of budget cuts and decreased tax revenue. 
Coleman and Ms. Jacquelyne Johnson. Minister Coleman, Employment counselor of Essex County's One Stop Career Center and Ms. Johnson believe, If a student does not have the resources whether be it child/parental care, business attire, lack of utility payments, food or transportation, the career center will assist to resolve these issues and relieve the applicants stress or worry. Mr. Coleman said it best, You are as you think and think as you are, believing applicants with no pressing matters at home will perform well during job placement interviews. Ms. Johnson added, The One Stop Career Center provides aid to those who are willing to sacrifice themselves to learn a trade with absolutely no cost to them. Marianna DeVincentis, Program Director Housing Assistance Payments Program for the Housing Authority of the City of Orange, explains, We are committed to the success of these students. We want them to reintegrate back into the workforce, create a positive Track Record so that more programs can be implemented and funded. Minority women and men enrolled in the program have an opportunity to escape the grips of unemployment and free themselves from the dependencies of state aide. The NJ Build Program is a reality for those whom have nothing to lose but everything to gain. 
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. A day before the Simi Valley law went into effect, Federal Judge Perry Anderson issued a temporary restraining order barring the city from enforcing the sign provision. However, the judge let stand provisions of the ordinance that keep sex offenders from turning on outside lights, decorating their homes, andanswering their doors to trick-or-treaters. In Orange, no registered sex offenders have been cited since the ordinance was adopted, said City Atty. Wayne Winthers. 
to pay city of Orange up to $340,000 a year to avoid suit on housing of federal inmates at county jail September 23, 2010| 3:28 pm Orange County agreed this week to pay the city of Orange up to $340,000 a year to stave off a potential lawsuit regarding the housing of federal immigration detainees at a county jail within the city limits. The Sheriffs Department reached an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer to house up to 838 detainees at the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange and the James A. 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.
