A conglomerate merger occurs between two unrelated business activities. These mergers can occur between two companies that have nothing in common or between two businesses that are looking to extend their area of business. Horizontal mergers, on the other hand, occur between two businesses operating in the same industry and are looking at extending their market share. Vertical mergers are between two companies that exist together in supplying products to a certain supplier.]]> Two other types of mergers that exist are product extension mergers and market extension mergers. A product extension merger occurs between two companies that make a similar product that exists in the same market and are looking to expand their client base. Market extension mergers are between two companies making a similar product in different markets. These companies are looking to gaining a bigger market share.
Making the decision to move forward with a merger involves a lot of strategy. Deciding what type of merger is best and beginning the process of a merger often involves many legal documents and questions. Discussing one's situation with an experienced legal professional is a way to help a company move forward in a way that is well informed and legal.

An option that has become more and more appealing to business owners who face financial difficulties is bankruptcy. Different types of bankruptcies exist that can fulfill a company's particular needs. When a business has a plan for recovery and wants to use bankruptcy as a way to get back on its feet, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy may be appropriate. This type of bankruptcy forces the business to create a reorganization plan and detail ways in which it will repay its debts in the future.]]> When a business is unable to move forward and pay old debts, it may have to consider for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows a business to sell off its assets in order to pay and discharge any outstanding debts it owes. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are typically used in dire situations when a company has a limited number of assets.
Financial difficulties can only be handled for a certain amount of time before something has to give. Filing for bankruptcy is often the responsible decision in these situations. Whether a business owner decides to file a Chapter 11 or a Chapter 7 bankruptcy depends greatly on the businesses assets and circumstances. In order to decide which type of bankruptcy is best, owners should discuss their business matters with an experienced legal professional that can provide them with insight into these complex legal concepts.]]>
A business litigation case may develop because you want another business to take a certain action, another business wants you to take action or both. In the event that you want to take action, you will have to serve specific legal paperwork on the other company to inform them of a pending lawsuit. An experienced legal professional typically drafts this paperwork.]]> In the event that legal paperwork has been served upon you, you are given an opportunity to respond. All responses should be carefully considered. These documents, along with files, insurance policies, incorporation documents, correspondence, contracts and other relevant documentation should be brought to a legal professional when discussing the case. Legal professionals are able to sift through this information in an efficient manner in order to explain one's rights and legal options.
A legal professional also will assist a business in finding the best legal argument to support its case. Without these individuals, a business may find itself at a great disadvantage in business litigation proceedings. Business litigation is a difficult process to navigate, but seasoned legal professionals are available in the state of California that have experience handling these issues and can assist a business in protecting its assets and future.]]>
An announcement was recently made in the New Jersey business press that California-based Future Ads LLC will be merging with Kitara Media Corporation of Jersey City. The two companies have worked together previously in the realm of advertising. The businesses complement each other and it is believed that they will make even more solid progress as a strong united front.]]> Many strategies and considerations are taken when two companies decide if a merger is right for them. As the process of merger progresses, it is important for each business to understand exactly what it is getting into. Each business should perform due diligence on the other in order to learn detailed information about the other business including what their capabilities and services are, how profitable they have been in the past and what the investment plan looks like for the company.
Once all of the details are shared and the companies determine that a merger is in their future, applicable laws and procedures must be followed carefully in order to ensure that the merger is a smooth process. Understanding these laws and the strategy involved in a merger can be a difficult and complicated process. Discussing one's situation with an experienced legal professional can prove very useful under these circumstances.

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy is very different from other forms of bankruptcy in that it allows the business to remain alive. The process begins with a petition to the bankruptcy court. The business must then also file a lists of its assets and liabilities, contracts and leases, income and expenditures and a statement of financial affairs. Once the paperwork is filed, the debtor remains a debtor in possession until a plan of business reorganization is confirmed. Sometimes, a trustee will be appointed for the company.]]> A disclosure statement and plan for reorganization is then filed with the court. These documents inform the court of the company's assets and liabilities and lay out a plan for how it intends to pay off its debts over time. Any company who will receive less money under this reorganization plan will be allowed to vote on the plan by casting a ballot. The court then collects the ballots, examines the case and determines if the proposed plan will be accepted.
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy gives a business the opportunity to start fresh without closing its doors. This plan is especially useful when a business has run into recent hardship. Business owners who feel that Chapter 11 bankruptcy might be right for them should discuss their business matters with an experienced legal professional who can assist them with the process.

Securities laws were created as a result of the stock market crash in the 1920's. The laws require businesses to disclose information to investors in order to properly reflect meaningful information. Two primary sets of securities laws exist today: the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.]]> The Securities Act oversees the offers and sales of securities through means of communication that effect commerce. This includes phone calls, e-mail, Internet advertisements and U.S. mail. These communications are reviewed to ensure they contain pertinent information regarding investments. Some exemptions from this act do exist. The Securities Exchange Act, on the other hand, relates to periodic reports that businesses must issue to keep their investors informed with up to date information.
Regulatory compliance is an important area for businesses to understand in order to ensure that they are properly complying with both the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act. Getting the right information about how to comply can mean the difference between staying open and making a profit and getting into serious legal trouble. No business should run the risk of violating one of these laws and running into legal problems down the road that can put their business at risk.

California-based Hewlett-Packard is the most recent company to undergo this division strategy. The company announced recently that it will divide into Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise will be primarily responsible for corporate hardware and services while HP Inc. will run personal computer and printer operations. Interestingly, the CEO had said in the past that the company would remain a single entity.]]> Hewlett-Packard's CEO, who will now run Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, believes the division will result in more efficiency and productivity. The decision to divide was a strategic one and will help each division of the company dedicate more efforts to their individual specialties. HP is not the first company to undergo a division. In fact, Ebay Inc. also recently decided to split from PayPal. These changes help to reflect a shifting market.
When a company makes a decision to either undergo division or join another company in a merger, it does so for a number of reasons. Most often, the driving reason is to increase profits and maximize efficiency. The complex business transactions involved in a division or a merger can make the process more difficult, however, speaking with an experienced legal professional is often the best way for a company to ensure that its division or merger is a smooth transition.

When a business proceeds with a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it first files a petition. The debtor may file this petition and, in some cases, a creditor can file the petition. Once the petition and other necessary documents are filed, a plan of reorganization must be filed with the court. This plan must include all information regarding assets, liabilities and business affairs. Once filed, it is up to judicial discretion whether the plan of reorganization is sufficient. Each creditor that is impaired by the process will cast a ballot and vote on the legitimacy of the plan.]]> A successful reorganization plan can help a business get back on its feet. The plan provides the benefit of absolving debt while allowing the business to remain profitable. This feature makes the option extremely appealing to businesses facing financial challenges.
Although the option is appealing, navigating a Chapter 11 bankruptcy can be difficult and frustrating at times. Businesses considering this option will probably need to make sure they get the right information in order to understand how to undertake each step of the process and ensure that each step is performed correctly.]]>
The merger is part of a plan for the bank to become a leading community bank, appealing to residents from many different ethnic backgrounds. The bank now services a wide range of customers including Indian Americans, Pakistani Americans, and Korean Americans. The process of the merger went smoothly and California is now home to 30 branches of the community bank.]]> Mergers and acquisitions of companies occur for many different reasons. In almost every reason, however, strategy is involved. There is strategy in choosing a company to merge with, strategy in negotiating that merger, and strategy in determining what the outcome of the merger will look like. As strategy is imperative to each part of the process, it cannot be underemphasized.
Also imperative to the process is due diligence. Many laws, rules and procedures apply to the process of merging companies and due diligence must be observed. A missed step may delay a merger or result in financial difficulties or penalties down the road. Companies must proceed cautiously in order to complete the merger in a thorough and complete manner.
Companies considering a merger in the state of California should discuss this important decision with an experienced legal professional. These individuals understand California law and appreciate the important role that strategy and negotiation play as the merger moves forward.

Disclosing important information to investors is crucial because it allows the investors to make informed decisions in purchasing a company's securities. The law requires a registration of securities, which encourages this disclosure. Generally, any security sold in the United States must be registered. The registration requires that the company disclose a description of the property and business, company management information, a description of the security up for sale and financial statements that are certified by independent accountants.]]> Once the registration is filed, the information becomes public, allowing shareholders access to the information. The government may scrutinize these registration statements in order to ensure compliance with disclosure requirements. Some security offerings may be exempt from the registration requirement depending on the size, type and location of the offering.
Companies that are in the stages of registering securities or defending their registration should call upon the assistance of an experienced legal professional. These professionals understand how the Securities Act of 1933 impacts companies in the state of California and plays a role in business litigation today. They are in the best position to provide a company with sound legal advice and protect the company's rights.

As companies begin the merger process it is important to review all of the other company's articles, bylaws, property, financial information, licenses and environmental issues. A complete knowledge of the other company is crucial when acting with due diligence. Due diligence can be described as acting in a way that a businessperson in a similar situation would act. Due diligence is essential for both past company behaviors and future behaviors in the process of the merger.]]> Our firm strives to help our clients not only ensure that due diligence is followed, but also to create the best negotiation under the circumstances. An in depth understanding of how to influence deals and when to stand your ground or compromise can be crucial in this type of business deal.
With the assets of two companies at stake, companies going through a merger will probably want to get the best information about the process that they can. Our firm has handled mergers that have facilitated millions of dollars. Our partners also have an in depth understanding of the laws and requirements in California. Our firm also strives to work to address any other issues our clients face along the way.

There are several different types of bankruptcy filings. Businesses typically file for a Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Each has unique benefits and requirements.]]> A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation. A court-appointed trustee takes possession of the property in the estate. A first meeting of creditors is held at which the creditors, the trustee and the business owner discuss the assets and liabilities. The assets of the business are sold and the proceeds distributed to the creditors.
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows the company to remain in business and reorganize. The business becomes the "debtor in possession" and can retain its property and continue to operate its business. Again, a meeting with the creditors will occur where questions may be asked about the business' financial situation. In a Chapter 11 case, the United States Trustee can appoint a "creditor's committee" to investigate and create a plan for reorganization. This plan details how the creditors will be dealt with and, when approved, will settle all of the debt.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy a trustee is appointed but the possession of the property remains with the business owner. After the initial meeting the business files a plan of reorganization that devotes all disposable income to the creditors. The debt is discharged upon completion of the payments in the plan.
Deciding what type of bankruptcy filing is right under the circumstances requires a careful review of all the facts and financial data. An experienced bankruptcy law firm can evaluate a business' circumstances and recommend the best course of action.

It is no secret that Comcast and Time Warner Cable have been in discussions about a possible merger to occur between the companies sometime in the future. As plans for the merger have advanced, however, several states are starting to ask questions.]]> California is the latest state to speak up. They have recently asked Comcast what the merger will look like and how it will affect the people. Many analysts worry that a merger of the companies will lead to a monopoly over the cable industry in numerous parts of the country. Comcast's executive vice president argues, however, that the decisions regarding the merger need to be based on the business deal, not how other companies will cope.
Still, California's Public Utility Commission has its concerns. The PUC notes that the ultimate test will be about the "change of control and whether or not it is in the public's best interests." The FCC's final decision on this matter is not expected until December 2014.
Any business in the state of California considering a merger should proceed with caution in order to avoid unnecessary complications. Experienced legal professionals are in a position to help these businesses and should be sought out in order to protect the business's rights.

One reoccurring problem for businesses proves to be a breach of contract. When a second party does not fulfill its obligation, a business is left struggling to pick up the pieces. Companies that entered into a contract where an opposing party breached can seek legal remedies for the breach. Although many different types of remedies exist, the courts have generally provided for a remedy to help numb the pain of a breach in most situations.]]> When a company suffers a direct financial loss from the breach a court may award compensatory damages. These damages can help in covering the costs of finishing the job. Compensatory damages try to place a business in the place it would have been had the contract been fulfilled.
In certain situations where the breaching party acted in a way that was inexcusable, the court may decide to award punitive damages. Punitive damages are set by the court in order to punish the breaching party. Often times, punitive damages are saved for situations where something morally reprehensible has happened. Damages of this kind can reach very high amounts.
One other remedy a court may award is specific performance. This type of award forces the party that breached the contract to perform as originally promised. Often times, specific performance is awarded under unique circumstances when no other remedy will fix the breach.
Many other types of remedies exist for the business that has suffered a breach of contract. Discussing one's legal options with an experienced attorney is the best way to understand which remedies will work best under the circumstances.

Two publishing and advertising start-ups have chosen to end their competition against one another and achieve their business goals by merging companies. The companies, located on the East and West Coasts, both try to help raise the web traffic and revenue for news sites. The deal involves stock instead of cash. Shareholders believe that the increased size of the companies and opportunity to collaborate will help boost revenue. The ads of the East Coast-based company are prominent on numerous websites and give links to paid clients to increase their web presence. The companies had worked together previously, but not under the same umbrella. The West Coast-based business had raised over $31 million in financing as they built their business prior to this move.]]> Any business idea needs to include a plan to build and expand. A vision to build a company needs more than just a great product. Securing financing, understanding various legal issues and considering the future with a detailed and organized blueprint are crucial. Whether the business is small or large, the participants in each side of the equation have to have their interests protected. Companies seeking to combine their efforts must work hand-in-hand to achieve success.
With the two publishing and advertising companies deciding that collaboration will further the goals of both, they chose to merge. While it's a financially prudent and practical decision, there is always a great deal of nuance when acquiring a new business.

Sun, sea and a little ethic cleansing
Travel agents are meeting next month to ask whether we should holiday in countries with poor human-rights records
Monday 15 November 1999
Where would you choose to spend an exotic holiday? Sunbathing on a tropical beach with endless white sands fringed with palm trees? Or maybe you'd appreciate something a little more cultural, a mountain trek and a tour of ancient ruins and remote villages? That's the sort of choice we're used to making.
Where would you choose to spend an exotic holiday? Sunbathing on a tropical beach with endless white sands fringed with palm trees? Or maybe you'd appreciate something a little more cultural, a mountain trek and a tour of ancient ruins and remote villages? That's the sort of choice we're used to making.
But what if that paradise beach happens to be just miles from an entrenched civil war? Or an exotic island's business interests are controlled by a military regime?
Some of the most unpalatable regimes in the world are to be found in countries desperate to attract tourists, and they are keener than ever to persuade us that they have some of the most desirable holiday destinations on offer. Take Burma, for example. Next month it will be promoting itself as an ideal place for an exotic break when it takes a stand at the World Travel Market in London's Earls Court. There will be no mention of its record of oppressing human rights and its lack of democracy. Indeed, Burma is becoming adept at putting a gloss on its image: when it freed human rights activist Rachel Goldwyn last week, after she had served less than two months of a seven-year sentence for singing a pro-democracy protest song, the British woman was treated as a "guest" of the military, heading "up country" for a couple of days sightseeing on an approved tour before flying home.
Burma will be in good company at the World Travel Market. There will also be displays by Indonesia and China. Now the sixth leading international tourist destination, China will be awarded the 1999 World Tourism Award in recognition of the "outstanding impact of travel and tourism in generating employment growth".
But does it matter if we holiday in such countries?
Tourism Concern, which campaigns for responsible tourism, says it does. According to its director, Patricia Barnett, visiting such a country condones its regime, while a boycott would make an oppressive government realise that not everyone in the West is willing to turn a blind eye. "You really need to consider why you're going to Bali," she says, "and to think incredibly hard about why you feel the need to have a holiday in a country deeply embedded in civil strife."
The British Guild of Travel Writers has taken a similar stance and for the first time has urged tourists and tour operators to boycott Indonesia until peace is restored in East Timor. "Individual tourists and tour operators have got to examine their consciences," said Guild vice-chairman Peter Lilley. "It is all too easy to stand by and convince oneself that the matter does not concern you  or that there is nothing you can do."
But others in the holiday business disagree. Tony Champion, managing director of Magic of the Orient, which features Burma and Indonesia in its brochures, feels that it's not up to business to draw a moral line. "It is better to keep the doors open and leave the final decision to the client. It's very difficult because almost every country has a human rights record, including our own."
Some tour companies also argue that boycotts can do harm because they affect local people. Bishop Carlos Bellos, head of the Catholic Church in Indonesia, has reportedly called for a tourism boycott but with the business worth £6.5bn to the country, thousands of ordinary Indonesians depend on it for their livelihood. David Abram, author of the Rough Guide to Goa, says, "If people don't go abroad who's really losing?
"It's the poorer people  the local hoteliers, the women who rent out the rooms  they're the ones who will be most affected. If you asked those women they'd say tourism is a good thing that helps them to make ends meet."
As global tourism proliferates, the lines become ever murkier. Should we object to lazing on Turkey's beaches when we consider their treatment of the Kurds? What about a week in Moscow now that the Russians are systematically destroying Chechen villages? And what about France when they were nuclear testing at Muraroa atoll?
To muddy the moral maze yet further, enter Libya and Iran, now respectable holiday destinations. After the Lockerbie bombing suspects were handed over for trial in the Netherlands earlier this year, a new Mediterranean resort suddenly appeared in the global tourist market place. Explore Worldwide is planning to move into Libya and British Airways now offers two flights a week, rising to three during the summer. It's only a matter of time before Tripoli is building concrete hotels while its souks are overrun with travel guides and American Express is common currency. Despite the gloss of a European resort, Patricia Barnett argues that tourists should scratch the surface before visiting. "Libya is no different to Bali or China  you have to make a considered decision about an environment that is perhaps not as trouble-free as you'd like to believe."
Dilemmas of the Moral Traveller
ETHICAL considerations may never play a serious role in your choice of holiday destination, but even if they do, it is not easy to judge what makes a destination "safe", writes Jeremy Atiyah, Travel Editor.
A major difficulty, for example, is the issue of how well the employees in the local tourist industry are being treated. Are they paid fairly? Do they have tolerable working conditions? Or are they treated as something close to slave labour?
There's also money. Is the cash you spend going into the pockets of local people, or the pockets of tour operators back home? And are there opportunities for locals and tourists to relate to each other on any remotely equal basis?
Then you need to think about the consequences of tourism for the environment. In places such as Goa, tourism stands accused of using all the clean water for the needs of luxury hotels. In Spain it goes to keeping golf courses green.
The only simple way to ensure that your tourist dollars do enter the local economy is to spend your money at locally owned and managed concerns.
And if you are still worried, the answer is probably not to go away at all. For your aeroplane will almost certainly cause more pollution than anything else you do during your holiday.

Dancing is the new post-cancer fitness revolution
Getting back into good physical shape after cancer treatment can be tough, physically and psychologically.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Dance Dance Revolution is a Wii game we've often recommended as a great way to help you get in shape while you're having fun. But there's a new dance revolution on the horizon — and it's for adult cancer survivors.
Getting back into good physical shape after cancer treatment can be tough, physically and psychologically. But it's key to beating the disease and avoiding recurrence. Just as important, and sometimes more challenging, is restoring intimacy between couples who have had to deal with prostate cancer, a mastectomy or hysterectomy. (More than half report they were not prepared to deal with the effect treatment had on their sexual relationship.) Well, here's a way to do both.
The University of Alabama is recruiting folks who have battled cancer to take part in a study of physical fitness and relationship intimacy that they call "a couples ballroom-dance intervention." Say hello to Ballroom Dancing With the Cancer All-Stars.
This is a great idea, and it's worked before. Just ask Joan Cashon, 73, a three-time cancer survivor and award-winning competitive ballroom dancer. Her husband gave her ballroom dancing lessons 13 years ago, after her last bout of chemo, and she hasn't looked back — except when she tangos.
If you're a cancer survivor or love someone who is, before you two start cuttin' the rug, get the green light from your doctor. Then find a ballroom dance studio with a suitable program or an instructor who is interested in working with you. Make a date, and see where the music takes you!

Toothless crocodile bites keeper
Monday 24 February 1997
Karla Bredl, 21, suffered a broken left thigh and deep lacerations in the attack last Friday, which happened moments after she fed a saltwater crocodile named Solomon in front of tourists.
Ms Bredl was still heavily sedated and said to be in a serious condition yesterday at the Mackay Base Hospital, which is just south of the Barefoot Bushman's Wildlife Park at Cannonvale near the Whitsunday Islands in north-east Australia, where the attack happened.
Her uncle, Rob Bredl, told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper of Sydney that when the attack came, "Karla's dad, Joe, jumped on the croc's back and stuck his thumbs in its eyes to make it let go. As they pulled her out, she said: `I'm bloody glad he's got no teeth!'
"Just before it happened, she was joking with the crowd. She said, `If I ever get grabbed, I'd rather it be this one, because he's got no teeth from fighting other crocs.' Then she slipped, and it was on her," he said.
"It's funny," Mr Bredl recalled. "Karla was just kidding around the other day, saying, `I want a scar. I want a scar'."
The crocodile is about 14.5 feet (4m) long. Although it has few teeth left in its mouth, its jaws are powerful enough to crush bone.
"In the wild, they just smash their jaws together and they can easily break a bullock's leg," Mr Bredl said.

announced its first titles for "next-gen" (or what we're actually now calling "current-gen") consoles: Captain Blood and the less-catchily-titled IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey.
Captain Blood (pictured above) is an Xbox 360 and PC action game based on the Rafael Sabatini pirate novel of the same name. IL-2S:BoP, meanwhile, is being developed for Xbox 360 and PS3, with portable versions in development for DS and PSP (no Wii love, it seems).
No details on the gameplay or plot of Birds of Prey, but our deductive reasoning tells us it will likely be either about fighter planes, or predatory fowl. Guesses?

The banana thing was funny!He thought the guard would slip on the banana and die.But his plan backfired!
I just have one thing to say...
...poor guy, hehe. Great job that was awesome as hell.

HEY HE KILLED SNAKE (YOU BASTARDS! well he has to come back or else there wouldn't be a metal gear solid.. lol just like kenny) the beggining is funny as hell lol
w00t! That 0wn3d!
Way to go man! That was really well done. Metal Gear was the predecessor to some of the greatest games ever created, and as such, I pay it great amounts of respect. It started it all, and this was a great spoof man. Heh, I may be a bit partial, but whatever. This fucking rocked! Heh, I'd even like to see more if you'd be ineterested in making them. But either way, it fucking rocked! Way to go man! Way to go!

While I really like Nordicware's Stadium Pan for its great design and versatility for celebrating sporting events of all kinds, it's not the best pan to pick up if you really want to show support for your favorite team.

Collapsible Cupcake & Cake Carrier
As much as I love my cupcake carrier, there is one thing about it that I don't like. It is very large and it takes up a lot of storage space when I'm not using it.

Nutmeg Mill
Spices are at their best when they are fresh. I find that this is especially true of nutmeg, a spice that is often called for in baking in only small amounts.

Whole nutmegs are easy to find in most grocery and ... Read More »

What Happened to All of Obama's Technology Czars?
Why does the White House need a private-sector "tech surge" to repair its wretched Obamacare website failures? Weren't all of the president's myriad IT czars and their underlings supposed to ensure that taxpayers got the most effective, innovative, cutting-edge and secure technology for their money?
Now is the perfect time for an update on Obama's top government titans of information technology. As usual, "screw up, move up" is standard bureaucratic operating procedure.
Let's start with the "federal chief information officer." In 2009, Obama named then 34-year-old "whiz kid" Vivek Kundra to the post overseeing $80 billion in government IT spending. At 21, Kundra was convicted of misdemeanor theft. He stole a handful of men's shirts from a J.C. Penney's department store and ran from police in a failed attempt to evade arrest. Whitewashing the petty thief's crimes, Obama instead effused about his technology czar's "depth of experience in the technology arena."
Just as he was preparing to take the federal job, an FBI search warrant was issued at Kundra's workplace. He was serving as the chief technology officer of the District of Columbia. Two of Kundra's underlings, Yusuf Acar and Sushil Bansal, were charged in an alleged scheme of bribery, kickbacks, ghost employees and forged timesheets. Kundra went on leave for five days and was then reinstated after the feds informed him that he was neither a subject nor a target of the investigation.
As I noted in my 2009 book, "Culture of Corruption," city and federal watchdogs had identified a systemic lack of controls in Kundra's office. Veteran D.C. newspaper columnist Jonetta Rose Barras reported that Acar "was consistently promoted by his boss, Vivek Kundra, receiving with each move increasing authority over sensitive information and operating with little supervision." Yet, Team Obama emphasized that Kundra had no idea what was going on in his workplace, which employed about 300 workers.
A mere 29 months after taking the White House job, Kundra left for a cushy fellowship at Harvard University. In January 2012, he snagged an executive position at Salesforce.com, which touted his "demonstrated track record of driving innovation."
In 2011, Obama appointed former Microsoft executive and FCC managing director Steven VanRoekel to succeed Kundra. At the time, he promised "to make sure that the pace of innovation in the private sector can be applied to the model that is government." Mission not accomplished.
Next up: Obama's "U.S. chief technology officer." In May 2009, the president appointed Aneesh Chopra "to promote technological innovation to help the country meet its goals such as job creation, reducing health care costs and protecting the homeland. Together with Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra, their jobs are to make the government more effective, efficient and transparent."
Chopra's biggest accomplishment? A humiliating cameo in December 2009 on "The Daily Show" with liberal comedian Jon Stewart, who mocked the administration's pie-in-the-sky Open Government Initiative. Chopra resigned three years later, ran unsuccessfully for Virginia lieutenant governor and now works as a "senior fellow" at the far-left Center for American Progress, which is run by former Clinton administration hit man turned Obama helpmate John Podesta.
Obama replaced Chopra with Todd Park, the former "chief technology officer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services." The White House described him as a "change agent and 'entrepreneur-in-residence,' helping HHS harness the power of data, technology and innovation to improve the health of the nation." Park oversees the "Presidential Innovation Fellows" program and is also a "senior fellow" in health IT and health reform policy at Podesta's Center for American Progress. CAP has tirelessly defended Obamacare and its global joke of an IT infrastructure.
In 2010, when President Obama first rolled out a dog-and-pony demonstration of Healthcare.gov, Park basked in the glow of positive media coverage. He bragged to TechCrunch.com about working "24/7 … in a very, very nimble hyper consumer focused way … all fused in this kind of maelstrom of pizza, Mountain Dew and all-nighters, and you know, idealism."
It was, as you all now know, all hype and glory. So who has Obama called in to oversee the HealthCare.gov rescue mission? None other than the administration's "change agent and entrepreneur-in-residence," CTO Todd Park, who helped build the broken system in the first place!
Obamacare also created the "Bureau of Health Information" and a new "assistant secretary of health information," who coordinates with a separate "national coordinator for health information technology" overseeing the equally disastrous electronic medical records mandate. Harvard University's David Blumenthal held the post from 2009 to 2011 before returning to his Ivy League home.
Then came Farzad Mostashari, who was "at the forefront of the administration's health IT efforts and is a resource to the entire health system to support the adoption of health information technology and the promotion of nationwide health information exchange to improve health care." In August 2013, Mostashari announced his resignation, and earlier this month, he became a "visiting fellow" at the Brookings Institution's Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, waste our money screwing things up and then run back to academia to train the next generation of incompetent technocrats.

As an Andersonville resident, I was THRILLED to have a new coffee shop in town! The atmosphere is nice, food and coffee are excellent, AND there is NO WIFI!
I was told by a woman at the counter that this is intentional, in an effort to prevent people from staying too long (same as the rest of their locations)... I'm so glad stool hogs no longer feel welcome to come do work here. I understand the need to keep chairs available for new patrons. No Wifi is the sole reason I will choose La Colombe over Starbucks down the street. Brilliant!
Please don't change your policy. I'll gladly come support your business!
Sitting here right now, enjoying a delicious sav blanc and truffle oil popcorn, listening to an acoustic duo accompanied by a symphony of crickets out on the gravel lawn. Perfect.
one of these days,
i'll give all'y'all the rundown on where to find the best corned beef hash in 3 states.
until then,
i'll be hitting up howard's whenever i get the urge to clog a ventricle.
eggs were perfectly over-easy and the hash was fresh.
i'm usually a fan of straight up hash browns on the side,
but their homestyle potatoes were pretty tasty.
and yes, the waitstaff is awesome.
when i retire,
i'm going to spend my days going to mervyn's to argue with the sales staff in a thick brusque eastern european accent.
it seems to be the thing to do.
until then,
hell yes to $30 levis that my butt look like mama gave me something to sit on.
i just noticed ben p.'s review.
there's also something about mervyn's that makes dudes conscious of their butts.
This was my home base for the first month I was in the city.
All the rooms have microwaves and fridges and Cala and Whole Foods are a quick walk, as are all of the TenderNob faves along Polk St.
And the hookers in the area are very friendly.
In spite of my breaking every single drinking rule last night,
you decided to be the "zoned out " variety instead of the "rotting inside my skin" style.
Thanks buddy.
Adam B. and I ate the hell out of this place one night.
I'm pretty sure we* ordered everything on the menu,
and it was all fantastic.
And easily the best amaebi heads I've ever had.
shrimp heads. . .
Pollo verde all the way.
I grew up on truck stop coffee.
Now that I'm old and tough,
yet fancy,
I'm all about Fraunch presses.
Their knowledgeable staff stuffs my press pot* with choice selections from a wide variety of excellent organic coffees and they insist on serving it with a pitcher of cream and a bowl of sugar, though I can't understand why anyone would want to dilute this chalky nectar.
*that sounds kinda dirty. heheheh.
A couple of weeks ago, Mama Q got poison ivy.
Apparently, "Wow. Sucks to be you." did not come across with the heartfelt sympathy with which it was intended.
So I hit up Michael and Tom for a bouquet to repair the damage.
The result:
I was forgiven for pretty much everything I've ever done,
and that's a lot, considering that she was still upset that I wouldn't ride the red bike she and my dad got me when I was 6 (I got teased; I was a sensitive child). Seriously. Still pissed.
But not any more.

THIS is how the first stage of the Church Hill centre development will look once completed.
Assura Group has started work on the £3.55million scheme which will see a new medical centre and several retail units built on the former car park, opposite the existing centre.
The current practice run by Dr Catherine McGregor and partners - and recently renamed Maple View Medical Practice - will relocate to the site once work is completed this winter. It will increase patient capacity by about 3,000. A pharmacy and NHS dentist will also occupy the ground floor of the new centre.
Several other businesses will also relocate allowing 51 homes to be built on the existing centre site by Bellway Homes.
Dr McGregor said: "The practice has been campaigning for new premises for some time, so we are very excited to see work starting on our new home. The new centre gives us the opportunity to significantly increase our patient capacity and improve our facilities."
Ed Sutton, managing director at LSP Developments which is also involved in the project, added: "The development will improve services and be a real benefit to the community it serves."

Family & Children's Association seeks donations of new back-to-school supplies and clothing for area families in need.
One such family is the Reades, who recently lost their mother to childbirth. The eldest Reade daughter, 24, stepped in to be the caretaker to her 11 siblings, ages two to 20, to ensure that the family could stay together and not risk being sent to foster homes. This brave young woman is juggling all the responsibilities of meeting the varied needs of her brothers and sisters and managing the household duties, all while holding down a full-time job, where she earns minimum wage.
"Families are really struggling right now, and we'd like to help them get their children and teenagers ready for school with adequate supplies and new school clothes," said Joyce Mullen, Family & Children's communications director. "We're asking our friends and neighbors to pick up extra notebooks, sneakers, markers or backpacks while they're out shopping for their own children and grandchildren. This is a concrete way to make a difference in our area."
Donations of gift cards to mass retailers, sneakers, sweatshirts and jeans along with the pencils, backpacks and notebooks can be brought to the group's office at 100 E. Old Country Rd., 2nd floor, in Mineola. The phone number is 516-746-0350. The website is www.familyandchildrens.org/donate.

While parking around LIRR train stations is typically a challenge, even on a regular work day, the holidays create more of a struggle for commuters in search of parking spots. LIRR spokesman Salvatore Arena said that ridership between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day increases by at least 10 percent; last year it was by 12 percent. Though the MTA is adding more trains to the schedule, that doesn't ease the parking situation, which is operated not by the LIRR, but by individual municipalities in each town.
"Every station is different," Arena said. "A good part of our parking is in the hands of the locality. They set the rules essentially."

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

City council sounds off on Allentown mayor's police chief pick
Updated On: Nov 12 2013 09:50:38 AM CST
Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski announced his nominee for the city's next police chief Monday afternoon.
He chose Joel Fitzgerald, who is currently police chief in Missouri City, Texas, and a former Philadelphia police officer.
The city council has to confirm the nomination. Pawlowski said the nomination hearing will be held Nov. 20.
City council members expressed their support of Fitzgerald to 69 News and said the nominee will be a good fit for Allentown.
"There were four good candidates, however, he is the best for the job. He's a mixture of many different things. He's experienced. He's educated," said Councilwoman Cynthia Mota. "I have no concerns about him whatsoever. I believe that he will do a really good job."
"I think he'll be a great change for our community," said Council President Julio Guridy. "I feel comfortable with him, very comfortable. I think it's a change for our city because we never had a non-Anglo as a chief of police, so I think the community has changed dramatically demographically."
"He's a heck of a nice guy, very smart, and he seems beyond capable to lead our police force in the next couple of years," said Councilman Peter Schweyer.
"He certainly understands our area of Pennsylvania. He understands our highways. He grew up in this general area, and he's going to be an excellent addition to our force," said Schweyer.

Who do you think you're talking to?
With many Arabs today asserting national pride, do marketing communications need to change their tone? Tarek El Jundi reports.
April 6, 2011 3:59 by Tarek El Jundi
The attitudinal survey canvassed 2,000 18 to 24 year olds in the GCC,
Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq. It revealed the single greatest priority for youth
in the Middle East is living in a democratic country.
And it can be no co-incidence that the IAA Kuwait Chapter's Young Creative Challenger is themed 'democracy'.
When asked about how optimistic they are domestically and financially, 66 per cent of survey respondents said their country is headed in the wrong direction.
National mood then, for the time being at least, has taken a much more serious turn, but will advertising complement that?
Egyptian ads, for example, have traditionally often relied on goofy humour – typically the angry man being the archetypal Egyptian citizen and the kid being silly, insecure and overweight, such as in the Coke Zero campaign.
Then there's the phenomenally successful viral Panda ads; or the Melody Hits ad depicting Egyptians singing western songs using anything but rhythm, followed by a caption using bad English to amplify the humour. Funny? Yes. But is that type of humour appropriate at this time?
Now that the mood has changed in Egypt, "the current situation requires marketers to fine-tune their marketing activities and be more tactful in their tone. Communication must be inspirational. It must instill national pride," says Karim Khouri, MD, Impact BBDO Cairo.
(An Egyptian journalist, speaking on condition of anonymity, is contributing to an investigation into the best way to launch campaigns to promote social activism, for example.)
