It weighs over 100,000 tonnes, is nearly as long as the 102-storey Empire State Building in Manhattan and serves 18,150 meals a day to over 3,200 sailors and 2,480 airmen. Welcome to the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Nicknamed the 'Big Stick', the Nimitz Class supercarrier has a a 4.5 acre flight deck serving its 60 war planes and leads a strike group that comprises five ships.

The ultimate symbol of American naval might, USS Theodore Roosevelt is currently on an eight-month deployment during which it is expected to relieve the USS Carl Vinson strike group that has been conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.

Here's a glimpse of what it's like to be inside the USS Theodore Roosevelt:

DURING HIS first moments as a free man in nearly 45 years, Clarence Safwat Davis was thinking about groceries. Specifically, about whether his family needed to pick up bread and milk on the drive home to Tioga from the state correctional institution at Graterford.

"It's something that's part of our normal flow as a family, something we always do and ask about," Davis, 64, said the other day, a few weeks after that January night. "I didn't want to miss that step. I really just wanted to pick up where we had left off."

But his first thought, even before pantry staples, was how surreal it felt to be able to do whatever he wanted for the first time since he was 20 years old. "I hoped that no one would come along and pinch me and wake me up from this dream," he said. "It was unreal, and, in many respects, it still is unreal."

Davis' experience of re-entering society in what he calls a "second childhood" after years of captivity, of struggling to ease back into a world that evolved while he sat frozen in time, is shared by scores of men and women every year.

According to data from Philadelphia's Office of Reintegration Services, about 300,000 former inmates live among the city's 1.5 million residents. The Daily News interviewed three of these "returning citizens," three men from Philadelphia born anew after many years in prison.

A few days after Davis made that trip into the parking lot in Graterford pushing a cart full of the belongings he had accumulated in prison, someone asked him what was new.

"Everything," he said. "It's like they let me down on another planet."

Philly was a city that, more than 40 years ago, Davis knew like "the back of my hand." Now, on SEPTA buses he has to ask the driver where his stop is.

Conceptual artist Lars Jan has spent the last several years creating a project inspired by scenes of floodwaters, from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Theres no question in his mind that climate change is to blame, which makes the installation of Holoscenes, a 14,000-gallon aquarium on the bayfront adjacent to C d Zan, all the more pointed.

If sea levels rise as scientists predict, the first floor of John Ringlings mansion will be under water by the end of the century.

Florida is absolutely on the very front lines of this issue, whether anyone who lives, votes, or leads there wants it to be or not, said Jan, a New York City-based artist.

Jan knows firsthand about rising waters.

When Hurricane Sandy swamped the eastern seaboard in 2012, Jan and his wife, new parents, left their home in Brooklyn for a few days. When they returned, our part of Brooklyn was in disarray, which is fortunate in comparison to the many other areas that were devastated, said Jan.

There were multi-hour gas lines for the entirety of the next month, which made shopping, going to the doctor and traveling out of the city very difficult. There were all sorts of shortages that lasted for months. I visited various parts of Manhattan in the days following Sandy, experienced the total black out and the piles of ruined furniture, drywall, destroyed books and more. As an artist, he was compelled to address the flooding and the larger issue of how climate change will impact human behavior through his artwork. The resulting public art and performance project is on display through Saturday on the Ringling Museum campus.

Holoscenes is a Plexiglas water tank in which a performer acts out an everyday behavior as the waters rise and fall around him or her, from taking a nap to washing windows to reading the newspaper. Four performers take 45-minute turns in the tank, acting out eight scenarios.

As spring officially begins, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today is warning Ohioans to be wary of solicitors who offer roofing, driveway paving, or tree trimming services and demand up-front payment.

"Spring is a good time to make home repairs, but it's also a time to watch for scams," Attorney General DeWine said. "If someone comes to your door offering goods or services, ask for references and take time to think about it. If they pressure you or demand large up-front payments, it could be a scam. Be very careful before handing over your money."

In 2014, the Ohio Attorney General's Office received more than 2,500 complaints about household goods or property improvement. The office also filed 14 civil lawsuits and pursued several criminal cases involving home improvement.

To help Ohioans protect themselves, Attorney General DeWine encouraged consumers to look for signs of a potential home repair scam, including:

Requests for a large down payment. If you have to pay half or more of the total price in advance, be skeptical. Scam artists often try to pressure consumers to make large down payments before any work is started.

Requests for cash payment. Be wary if you are told you must pay in cash versus other forms of payment. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to recover cash payments.

No notice of your right to cancel. In Ohio, consumers generally have a three-day right to cancel a contract that results from a door-to-door sale. Under the Home Solicitation Sales Act, sellers are required to notify consumers about this right.

Work that will begin immediately. If someone offers to perform work on your home right away, be skeptical. Some traveling scam artists claim they have leftover materials or that they "just happened to be in the neighborhood," but after taking consumers' payments, they leave without doing any work or after doing a poor job.

No written contract or references. If a contractor won't provide you with a written contract detailing the costs, the work to be done, and the starting and end dates, consider doing business with someone else. Also be skeptical if a contractor refuses to provide references of past customers.

Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office at http://www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov or 800-282-0515.
