Press Release August 13th

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade (photo) announced the Atlantic 10 Conference office will relocate from Philadelphia to Newport News, Va. The announcement was made at a press conference from the Rotunda of the Newport News Marriott at City Center.

The relocation process will be completed later this fall.

Newport News is a vibrant, growing city and Hampton Roads serves as an educational, business, cultural, and leisure hub of the Mid-Atlantic region,\” stated Commissioner McGlade. \”The staff and I are looking forward to the relocation and becoming immersed in the community. Occupying new, built-to-suit offices will enhance our working environment to serve our membership.\”

\”We are thrilled to welcome the Atlantic 10 into the Newport News family,\” says Newport News Mayor Joe S.

The quality of life, dynamic business community and generous citizen support in Newport News will make our city the perfect home for the Atlantic 10.\”

The conference office has been located in Philadelphia since 1995, when it moved from Cranbury, N.J. Prior to Cranbury, the offices were headquartered in Woodbridge, N.J., Rutherford, N.J., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Morgantown, W. Va.

Setting the record straight: The NALC issued a point-by-point rebuttal of a grossly inaccurate, partisan attack on the Postal Service and its 700,000 employees, perpetrated by by the House Republican Conference in an underhanded bid to derail health care reform. \”This smear cannot go unanswered,\” NALC President Fredric V. Rolando said. \”This attack on America’s most trusted agency is deliberately misleading and unjustifiably undermines public support for the Postal Service.\”

I have obtained more information after quite a lot of research regarding foreign residency in Japan ,making it easier to keep tabs on foreigners who have overstayed their visas and who have been residing in Japan legally .

The Japanese Lower and Upper House is also expected to pass bills,which have the support of both the Liberal Democratic Party-New Komeito ruling block and the Democratic Party of Japan,the largest opposition party.

I wanted to write in and tell everyone just how wonderful of an experience I had at Dr. Cancell\’s office recently, he is the podiatrist in town.

Eleven days ago while I was visiting my parents who live in Cape May Court House, NJ I injured my foot. On the following Sunday the pain was so bad I had to go to the emergency department at Cape Regional Hospital (formally Burdette Tomlin Memorial Hospital. On a side note I was recently laid off from my position as Catering Sales Manager at Top of the Tower and just at the end of July I lost my health insurance.

GLOUCESTER CITY-\”We have always strived to please our customers with economical prices in our Hardware Store. Now, with the decline in the economy, our customers are more attune in spending their money, and they know we have always tried to save them a $1 or $2,\” said Frank Carr.

Frank along with his mother, Jean and his sisters Sue and Kathy, provide special service to their customers whether they come in for one light bulb or one set of screws. One customer, Joe Matter, was in the store looking for a couple of 6’ screws, Frank went to the aisle and immediately had what Joe wanted.

Newly Released Records Prove Jon Corzine Asleep at the Switch While Taxpayer Dollars Abused and Wasted

PARSIPPANY, NJ – Today\’s news of wasted dollars across multiple government agencies is shocking in its scope, but not surprising considering the recent news of misused and abused taxpayer dollars in Corzine\’s Developmental Disabilities Department and the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority.

The fact that this practice is commonplace throughout Corzine\’s Administration gets at the root of New Jersey\’s growing economic problems. While New Jerseyans continue to be overwhelmingly taxed, Governor Corzine\’s Administration is guilty of wasting and abusing the tax dollars of hard-working New Jerseyans.

For four years now, Governor Corzine\’s inaction has encouraged the corruption as he continues to raise taxes to make up for disappearing dollars.
