(Source: "Campbell's plan is a triumph for Camden," Camden Courier Post 2/11/07)The Campbell Soup Co.'s plans to expand its world headquarters and build an office park in Camden city, where it opened 138 years ago, has justifiably won the praise of state, county and city officials.
The $98 million project -- including $72 million Campbell will spend -- is fantastic news for the city. It means new development, jobs, infrastructure improvements, new tax ratables, the investment of private dollars and the hope that this commitment to the city by a Fortune 500 company will make other businesses consider locating in Camden.
Navy Adm. William J. Fallon, who was raised in Camden and Merchantville, has been chosen to oversee U.S. forces in Iraq.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates recommended Friday that President Bush nominate Fallon as new chief of the U.S. Central Command overseeing the Middle East, calling him "one of the best strategic thinkers in uniform today." The command is based in Tampa.
News of forthcoming Shostakovich symphony performances is not what you expect to see on the time-and-date monitors at PATCO's High-Speed Line stations. But there it is, the Haddonfield Symphony's next concert in its first season at Camden's Gordon Theater, where Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 is being readied for an 8 p.m. performance Saturday.
While many arts patrons may be familiar with the orchestra, they may not realize how much preparation each concert requires -- work that is often being done by volunteers.
Approximately 40 volunteers help the symphony's five administrative staffers organize mailings, conduct fundraisers and usher patrons to their seats during performances at Rutgers-Camden's Walter K. Gordon Theater -- the symphony's primary venue.
The 10K course (USATF Certified) begins at the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge on the New Jersey side, crosses the bridge, doubles back and continues along the scenic Camden Water Front passing such attractions as Campbell’s Field, the Adventure Aquarium, the Battleship New Jersey and the Tweeter Center finishing next to the Rutgers Camden Campus.

Purple Loosestrife is an exotic and invasive noxious weed that is threatening New Jersey's wetlands. It damages the state’s wetlands by displacing native plants essential to wildlife for food and cover. The Department is rearing and releasing two species of leaf eating beetles, Galerucella spp., that feed on purple loosestrife to control this weed pest in wetland areas. Since 1997, more than 1,500,000 Galerucella spp. beetles have been released at 100 sites, in 16 of the 21 counties throughout NJ.
Numerous sites are continuing to show high levels of beetle activity and feeding damage; the loosestrife population is being reduced and native wetland plants are beginning to populate these previously infested sites. The Galerucella spp. beetles have been recovered up to twelve miles from a release site.

Currently home to 50 businesses (35 on-site and 15 virtual tenants), the incubator has netted exceptional economic development results during the last three years.
Located in a city hungry for jobs, these businesses provide more than 155 well-paying positions, producing a combined payroll of $6 million.
The average annual wage of an employee in the incubator is $38,000, well above Camden's median household income of $24,612.
When adjusted for the value added by the services provided by the incubator, the average wage of an employee of an incubator company rises to almost $49,000.
These are jobs that otherwise might not have come to Camden.
The incubator companies also have generated almost $6 million in mostly private-sector investment. Four companies have graduated from the incubator setting and are now outside Camden but still in the Philadelphia region, where they pay taxes, purchase goods and services, and contribute to the economy.

Recent research by marketing scholars at Rutgers University—Camden and HEC-Montreal suggests that interior décor at a mall, especially involving color schemes, plays a critical role in determining shoppers’ perceptions of quality, not only of the mall itself, but also of the products sold there.
[The study] also finds that different subcultures do not perceive quality in the same way. For instance, French-Canadians had higher perceptions of product quality when the mall décor consisted of a warm color scheme. On the other hand, Anglo-Canadians found higher quality when the décor consisted of a cool color scheme.
In a survey of 774 shoppers at a large retail center in suburban Montr̩al, Maureen Morrin, an associate professor of marketing at Rutgers-Camden, and Jean-Charles Chebat, a marketing professor at HEC Montreal, found that impulsive shoppers Рcharacterized as those who make unplanned purchases more often than so-called contemplative buyers Рspend more when pleasant music is playing in the background.
Contemplative shoppers, on the other hand, tend to spend more money when a pleasant odor is in the background.
Camden's downtown took another major step forward last night when the city's Redevelopment Agency authorized a second project by Dranoff Properties Inc. - a $25 million waterfront condominium building.
