Ken V. , do you think that Jarvis is well known local Tea Party wacko by the name of Paul L.? Makes sense to me as he has all day to hang out on the net making bizarro claims such as the one made here about Palin. Palin as U.N.Ambassador , ha ! She doesn't even know that Africa is a continent.
On What Republican presidential candidate are you voting for?
Posted on February 25 at 4:15 a.m.
One thing we can all agree upon is that our "nicest member of Congress" made a big mistake in approving that sleazy attack ad. Why didn't she spend more airtime on her ad exposing Mitchum as the Tea Party know nothing he really is?
Mitchum seems to have missed the GOP's constant bleating regarding tort litigation reform. May he end up on the same trash pile of washed up, litigation happy candidates with Steve Pappas.
BTW Pappas, have you repaid Supervisor Farr yet?
Posted on February 23 at 7:16 p.m.
sbreader, are you suggesting that Jarvis is actually a well known local Tea Party kook whose initials are P.L. ?
Jarv, while agreeing that unfunded pensions are one of our biggest problems, I take issue with your version of how we got here. Locally Dems have had plenty help digging this hole. Nationally there are no bigger culprits than the GOP at growing the size of government and debt. Only the most ignorant partisan would dare argue otherwise.

Supervisor Carbajal is the only one of the 5 who responds every single time I've contacted him (them) on one issue or another. The others get very low marks in my book for responding to important issues raised by their constituents.

I'm convinced that these simple letters that the Thorns submit are feeble attempts to get attention. The many excellent points made by commenters will be over the Thorn level of understanding, thus resulting in another simpleton response or better yet, silence.

Mr. McCutcheon, mens b-ball had a "very exciting" 64-62 loss to Northridge last night. Northridge ?!? Welcome to Bob Williams coached basketball.
Posted on February 19 at 4:56 a.m.
You want more excitement around mens basketball? Let the players play. Recruit some shooters. Find a couple of players that can get to the basket, and finish. Win the home games that you are supposed to win. Stop losing in the first round of the conference tournament. Better coaching.

Oh look, our favorite NoP'r is still here. I was hoping that $50 oil had him packing up his Hummer and headed back to Houston.
Why don't you tell us all about your hero W's family history with the royal family and the binLadens?

'Help find attacker who did this', says attacked pensioner's daughter
This is the face of 94-year-old Emma Winnall, who was savagely attacked while she slept in her own bed.
Her daughter asked police to release the shocking image in the hope that it will persuade anyone with information to come forward.
The pensioner suffered multiple injuries including a fractured skull, a broken arm and wrist, and a partially severed finger in the attack in her home in Moseley, Birmingham.
She remains seriously ill and sedated in hospital having undergone emergency surgery, including having metal plates inserted into her arm.
But she is showing signs of improvement and it is hoped she will make a full recovery, West Midlands Police said.
Detectives investigating the incident have so far been unable to determine a motive and are urging the local community to help in the hunt for the attacker.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Johal said: "It doesn't appear anything was stolen and the interior was largely undisturbed.
"We believe an implement of some sort was used during the assault. Our forensics experts are scouring the property in the hope of shedding some light on exactly what happened.
"She suffered very nasty injuries and ones which, given her age, could well have been life-threatening.
"She is showing signs of improvement in hospital. Our thoughts are with her and hopefully she will make a full recovery.
"Mrs Winnall's daughter has asked us to issue an image of her mother in hospital showing the extent of her injuries in the hope it will stir consciences and persuade anyone with information to contact us."
The victim's carer raised the alarm at 9am on Tuesday morning but the attack could have occurred at any time from 9pm the previous night.
Mr Johal added: "This is a truly sickening attack on a defenceless, frail lady as she slept in her own home.
"Mrs Winnall had nothing of note to steal.
"It was a senseless assault and I'd urge anyone with suspicions about who may be responsible to get in touch straightaway.
"The attacker may well have mentioned something to a friend or relative.
"Or perhaps someone remembers a person acting oddly that evening or the following morning.
"I'm sure the answer to this vicious assault lies in our local communities, so we're appealing for help to try and trace the offender."
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The Beckhams Asked to Join Reality TV Pantheon
David and Victoria Beckham may not be household names in the US (at least Posh hasn't been since her fabulous Spice Girls days), but all that may change if the couple signs on for a rumored The Osbournes-style reality television show. Fox has reportedly offered the Beckhams the chance to catapult into the stratosphere of American fame through the medium of having their life recorded on tape and edited into tidy half hour long segments. That or the awesome chance to publicly make fools of themselves and embarrass their three young children.
That being said, I would totally watch this Meet the Beckhams nonsense. Not only because David is smoking hot (albeit, mute) and Victoria actually seems pretty adorable and hilarious despite her constant scowl, but because maybe, just maybe, there would be a camera in the bedroom. Yowza.

These eyeshadow trios have the same great formula as the eyeshadow palettes, but they end up costing more than the palettes because the latter come with eight shades. Still, Dreamer (soft pink and mahogany shades) and Fever Ray (shimmery browns) are worth checking out. Quite fittingly, the blue trio is called Beyond Redemption, which is our sentiment exactly.
Aside from those points, the same eyeshadow review applies: The rich pigment and the remarkably smooth texture of these fragrance-free eyeshadows make them a pleasure to work with, and propels them to a BEST rating. These are quality eyeshadows that offer good coverage, resist creasing (even after a full day of wear), and the shine tends to stay put. The formula contains some very good skin-smoothing ingredients, although the antioxidants won't remain stable due to the compact routinely being exposed to light and air. That's OK, though: You can get antioxidants around the eyes from your skin-care products!
Kat Von D At-A-Glance
Strengths: Excellent eyeshadow palettes and trios; long-wearing cream and liquid lipstick; High Voltage Skin eyeshadow primer; Sin-Full Mascara.
Weaknesses: Several pricey products; Tattoo and Dark Circle Eraser is disappointing; Lock-it Tattoo Foundation is average at best, and, unfortunately, is the only foundation option; Autograph Pencil is the only eyeliner pencil, and it's not worth the money; no powder or blush brushes.
Celebrity makeup lines are nothing new—we've seen dozens of them over the years—but this one is a first in that it shocked us a bit, and we are not easily shocked. Kat Von D's claim to fame is her successful tattooing enterprise, and her role as a former reality TV show star—she also was once engaged to Sandra Bullock's ex-husband. (You just can't make this kind of stuff up.) Despite the ups and downs of her back-story, Kat Von D is now a makeup entrepreneur, and a good one.
The line launched in 2007 with only two eyeshadow palettes, cream lipstick, and eyeliner, but since has expanded by adding several new products, including the High Voltage Skin eyeshadow primer and Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick—both of which received our top rating. Also worth checking out are Sin-Full Mascara and Painted Love Lipstick. Just like most makeup lines, this is one to shop carefully; for every great product, there's one that underperforms or ends up being a waste of money.
Kat Von D's line of makeup products is actually quite good for the most part, and far better than we were expecting. This is definitely a brand to consider assuming you're OK with the prices and the knowledge that in most cases you can find similar and even better options available for far less. (We are not okay with doing expensive when less expensive can knock your socks off!)
All Kat Von D makeup products come packaged with the line's signature images of roses and thorns (perhaps to reinforce Von D's love of tattoo design), which definitely makes these products stand out among a sea of blandly packaged makeup containers.

West Indian whirlwind Kieron 'Polly' Pollard played a cracker for the Adelaide Strikers but Brisbane Heat pinched a dramatic last-ball win in Thursday night's Twenty20 Big Bash League match.
Pollard, a day after arriving in Adelaide, smashed 48 runs from just 23 balls as the Strikers posted 8-185 from their 20 overs.
The Trinidad star then took two clutch wickets and fluked a run out as Brisbane were left with four runs to win from the final ball.
Brisbane's Chris Hartley hit the ultimate delivery from Striker speedster Gary Putland over cover towards the boundary and the batsmen ran three as Callum Ferguson dived to stop the ball.
But replays showed Ferguson failed by a whisker to halt the ball and, after an agonising minute-long review as players stood mid-pitch awaiting the verdict, the Heat were winners, finishing 7-186.
Hartley played down his final-ball heroics.
"I'm still trying to work out what happened," Hartley said of hitting the final ball for four to win.
"It's a cliche in cricket, but the more you think about what you're trying to do, the more you usually stuff up.
"A little bit of luck goes your way ... and you're able to take advantage of it but there are no secret formulas."
Adelaide captain Johan Botha said the loss was particularly bitter.
"It's never nice to lose close games," he said.
Botha remained uncertain from initial replays whether Hartley's strike was a four.
"The one replay we saw on the field, you can't say from that far out from the big screen," he said.
Brisbane's run chase was on track when one-time ticking time bomb Luke Pomersbach exploded with the bat, making 65 from 39 balls.
Pomersbach, who considers himself lucky to be alive after a period of alcohol abuse, hit eight fours and two sixes to propel Brisbane to 1-105 in the 12th over.
But in the next 14 balls, Adelaide's Pollard claimed Joe Burns (37 from 30 balls), Pomersbach fell to spinner Cameron Boyce, and Pollard struck again to dismiss Sri Lankan allrounder Thisara Perera.
And with the Heat needing 35 runs from their final three overs, Pollard dropped a tough caught and bowled chance from Chris Lynn, only to watch the ball rebound into the bowler's end stumps with Brisbane's Ben Cutting stranded out of his crease.
The Heat required 14 runs from Putland's final over, with Peter Forrest blasting a six before Hartley's last-ball heroics.
Earlier the Strikers made 8-185 with Pollard muscling three sixes and five fours to overshadow his teammate Ferguson's stylish 52 from 36 balls.

Kailua's Island Yogurt opening second location in Aiea
- Braelyn Wood
- Intern- Pacific Business News
Kailua-based Island Yogurt is opening a new frozen yogurt shop in Aiea in a former Orange Grove location.
Owner Robert Taura will hire three to five employees for the new 1,200-square-foot location at 99-185 Moanalua Road. The locally owned frozen yogurt shop plans to have a grand opening for the new space in early October.
Taura decided to open the first Island Yogurt in Kailua, in another former Orange Grove location at 151 Hekili St., in 2013 after moving back to the Hawaii from California. He said getting married and starting a family influenced his decision to move back home and leave his Mainland restaurant, Ono Teriyaki.
He decided to open the next location in Aiea because he grew up on that side of the island and wanted to move back to the area. He still plans to keep the Island Yogurt shop in Kailua.
If the new location is successful, Taura said he plans to expand the business even further around the island to treat other parts of Oahu to the Island Yogurt's unique flavors, including the best-selling salted caramel.
"We create our yogurt ourselves and it's all made fresh right here," said Taura, "It's not brought to us frozen from the Mainland. We're different because we make our flavors and can mix local flavors as well."

Plans by the developers behind a floating island concept seem to have run aground after orders for the futuristic designs failed to materialise, despite a blaze of initial publicity and interest from the UAE and Qatar.
Atoll Floating Islands, a joint venture between Palmerstone and Donald Starkey Designs, unveiled the 'Ome, a floating home on a monocoque type structure, which is designed to be manoeuvered between Dubai's coast and Nakheel's The World islands and was mooted as a solution for buyers on the stalled manmade development.
The 'Omes were said to be 32m in diameter, comprising an upper and lower deck configuration, the company said in a statement.
Despite a blaze of initial media interest and reports of enquires from Qatari and Russian buyers, the orders failed to materialise, Donald Starkey, one of the British designers behind the concept, has revealed.
"The World has been forgotten," Starkey said.
While more than 80 percent of the world's largest yachts are owned by Gulf nationals, Starkey, who has won more than 26 yacht design awards and worked on Roman Abramovich's 115m superyacht Luna, said that while Arab buyers were keen to invest in new superyachts but were reluctant to pay for concept designs.
"The unique prospect of owning an island on The World brings its own set of challenges, and we believe we have created something that will deal with all the considerations that island owners have to deal with when it comes to developing their island; the 'Ome provides the infrastructure for the entire island, without the need to break ground," he said at the time when the designs were launched in 2011.
It was planned to build the 'Omes on the Dubai mainland and it was estimated they would have taken around 22 months to build.

Allied board in talks with Punch
Talks are expected to continue into the weekend with observers close to the negotiations suggesting that Punch is likely to reduce its original offer from pounds 2.925m to a figure closer to pounds 2.7bn. However, it is not clear if the First Quench off-licence business, formed from the merger of Threshers and Victoria Wine, will be included. The removal of the off-licences from the deal could cut pounds 100m from the price tag.
In a last-ditch attempt to maintain some form of power in the sale negotiations, the Allied board said it would take steps to demerge the pubs division if a satisfactory deal with Punch could not be agreed.
This was laughed aside by the Punch camp. It said a demerger would take too long, would yield a lower value and leave in place a management team that has not been regarded as one of the pub estate's prime assets. "It is just an attempt at a negotiating ploy," one analyst said.
Separately, Whitbread was backtracking yesterday from remarks attributed to the head of its brewing division. Miles Templeman was quoted as saying that "the genie is now out of the bottle" regarding the demerger of Whitbread's brewing interests. Whitbread would have been obliged to sell its brewing interests if it had bought the Allied pubs as it would have exceeded its threshold under the Beer Orders. Whitbread said: "We are not going to comment on what may or may not happen. We look at our businesses all the time. It is business as usual."
Whitbread withdrew its agreed pounds 2.8bn offer on Thursday after it was referred to the Competition Commission.
Having never been granted access to the Allied books nor granted meetings with the board, the privately controlled pubs group now holds the whip hand in the negotiations. But analysts said a dramatically reduced offer would affect Punch if it should attempt a stock market flotation in the future.

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at BevMo in January 2015.
Interview DetailsI applied and the process took about 2 weeks.
Received a call and was asked to schedule an interview whenever it was convenient for me. When I came in to the store. The manager just had finished another interview prior to me. He introduced himself and told me to hang back. The interview process was quite simple. He seemed very pleased with my prior experience in retail. He asked me 2-3 simple questions regarding customer service/ Retail scenarios. He asked me if I could meet the requirements of the job.Interview Questions- Tell me about a time when had to present yourself to someone of great importance at work. Who was it and what did you do? Answer Question
Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at BevMo in October 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online and went in a few days later to meet the store manager. I introduced myself and gave him my resume; he scheduled me an interview on the spot for the next day. On the interview, we walked outside of the store to a couple of tables across the parking lot. He asked me questions about my previous work experience and availability. The questions weren't too hard, he just appreciated detailed answers. I was asked to meet with the hiring manager immediately after the interview. When I met her, she just explained the store duties and gave me a drug screening paper. I took the drug test, but it was sent to the wrong Bevmo. I had to keep calling back and got things straightened out. It took me 3 weeks to get hired after the process.
Interview Questions- Tell me about a time when you delivered excellent customer service? Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere was no negotiation. He told me I would be paid $9.00 an hour, and if I stayed on past seasonal, it would bump up to $10 an hour.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online – interviewed at BevMo in December 2014.
Interview DetailsThey ask you to pick a product to sell during interview. The interview was conducted in the back of the store with the manager and 4 other job seekers. Very casual enviornment. you are ask about yourself. What is a good and bad customer experience? Then you are asked to talk about the product you pick out.
Interview Questions- What do you know about BevMo? View Answer
No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at BevMo in October 2011.
Interview DetailsI applied through their website during the Holiday season of 2012. I was called for an in store interview a couple days later. Upon arrival I was seated in a room with 2 employees and 4 other candidates. We were asked some basic service questions - how do you handle a difficult customer situation, how do you spend down time, what are your strengths / weaknesses, etc, all fairly simple stuff. After we all made our rounds, the two employees left the room, only to return very shortly after and hired all 5 of us on the spot. They were very much in need of workers during the holiday so landing this position was very straightforward - just have a good head on you and you'll be fine.
Interview Questions- What do you know about alcohol. View Answer
Negotiation DetailsA piece of advice after accepting the position would be to ask how many hours you were guaranteed. Some locations listed anywhere from 4 - 32 hours a week, and there would be a week every now and then where one of the seasonal employers would get 0 hours. Make sure you're very up front about this - no reason to take a position if the employer can't even find time for you to work.Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at BevMo in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online after I saw a job ad on Craigslist. Heard nothing for a few weeks, then received an email inviting me to a group interview. I think this was a mass email to everyone who had applied recently. There were two appointments for the interviews, a Tuesday and a Thursday the following week, and the store manager said he would reply to confirm the date I picked. I picked Tuesday and emailed back immediately. He didn't reply until several days later, on the morning of the interview.
I showed up about 15 minutes early. The store manager came out and told us to grab a bottle of alcohol, any kind we'd like, because we were to do a sales pitch. The interview started and there were three other candidates. There was just one interviewer, the store manager. He seemed like a really nice, chill guy. The interview turned out to be really fun (for an interview) and laid back, not too intimidating for a group interview. He would ask each question to the group as a whole, so whoever wanted to share first could take the initiative, then everyone else would take turns answering.
The questions were the standard "tell me about yourself", why do you want to work here, share examples of good & bad customer service you've had at other stores, etc. Nothing personal that would be uncomfortable to share in a group setting (e.g. "why did you leave [x] job" or "explain this gap in employment"), so that was tactful of him. Then we did our sales pitches and everyone seemed to do well on that. Then he shared more about BevMo and the job responsibilities, let us ask questions, then told us when he'd let everyone know the hiring decision (end of that week). He said they were looking to fill 5-7 positions. Whole interview took about 45 minutes.
I sent a thank you email two days later, on that Thursday. The stated "decision day" came and went and I never heard anything again. A few weeks later I logged on to the job application site and saw that my application had been marked "closed" at some point, I guess meaning that all the needed positions were filled. I was really surprised as I thought I did everything right! I have a few years of relevant experience and my answers were pretty well prepared, I thought. I answered first sometimes but not all the time, I played off of other people's answers, and the interviewer really seemed to like & engage with some of my answers. I honestly thought I was a stronger interviewee than at least one or two out of the three other interviewees. Maybe 20 people showed up to the second group interview and there were just more stronger candidates out of the total pool. I'll never know, I suppose.
This is really common with chains, but I think it's very rude that they can't take a few minutes to send a form rejection email to everyone who interviewed and didn't make the cut. Especially after I sent the thank you note and everything. Honestly baffled as to what I did wrong, why they thought I wasn't a good candidate. Maybe I shouldn't be so frustrated as it's just a retail job, but I think this is a better gig than most -- it seems fun and learning more about beer & wine would be interesting and a socially useful skill. (As an aside, it seems tricky to communicate "I like & am interested in alcohol" [to show why you're interested in this company specifically] without sounding like an alcoholic, lol!)Interview Questions- Share an example of good/bad customer service you've had at another store recently.

Had a pretty good conversation with the recruiter. Was told needed to wait until new vp started ton present candidates. Found it odd that over a period of waiting 2 months for someone to start and recruiter contacting me via email almost weekly that all of a sudden I was sent a rejection email.
Why would they go through a screening process, ask if relocation assistance was needed, and ask if a bonus was needed before the hiring manager had a chance to start if they didn't know what the person was looking for? Also found it odd to be asked about relocation and bonus as part of a screening.Interview Questions- Would you need relocation and bonus? Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at BevMo in November 2013.
Interview DetailsI applied online and got called for an interview two weeks later. The manager did the interview standing at the front of the store. He asked about school as I am a student. He also asked about my availability. Depending on the location, they may hope you have knowledge of certain beverages over others. The online assessment is scenario-based questions and does not take too long. After the interview, I was asked to re-apply as a seasonal position. A bit sneaky of a move, but it was a good job for seasonal.
Interview Questions- Do you know the most about wine, beer, or spirits? Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNo negotiation. They started me at $9.00 which was a dollar above CA minimum wage and the pay everyone at that store got at first.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at BevMo in April 2013.
Interview DetailsIt was very awkward interview. The head cashier brought in five of us into a room and interviewed is all the same time. He would go from one person to the next person asking the same question over and over. The questions that he asked were not relevant to the position that we were applying for some of the information was personal and was awkward to share with the group.

I applied online – interviewed at BevMo in July 2014.
Interview DetailsApplied maybe a month or so before hearing anything back. In fact it was so long I had forgotten I had applied there as this would be just a second part time job. Had two interviews, one with store manager then with assistant manager and immediately after the interview I was sent to do drug test. The interview was pretty easy, the store manager just went through my resume and asked "why did I leave this place and this place" and so on. I already currently work for a local winery and to my surprise my wine knowledge didn't come in to question. Second interview was more in depth about my involvement with the winery, pay, hours, and then to go pee in a cup. Today I just received through email all the information packets I needed to fill out. I wonder how training will go.
Interview Questions- Why did you leave (insert job/company here) Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsI wasn't given an option to negotiate as he said "we start all new employees at 9 an hour" but then went on to say something about getting me focused on the wine department or wine specialist or something and he said pay should go up.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at BevMo in March 2013.

iPod shortages expected this holiday season
If you plan on buying an iPod for someone as a gift this year, you may have quite a search ahead of you. BusinessWeek reports that numerous retailers are already warning that they won't be able to keep up with demand for the hot devices.
"With the holiday shopping season at hand, two truths are swiftly emerging about Apple's iPod," says BusinessWeek's Peter Burrows. "First, the product is going to be a gigantic hit. Second, there are going to be shortages. The only question is how big the shortfall will be. Some retailers say they're getting far fewer iPods than they requested—in two cases, fewer than half of their weekly orders. Also, retailing giant Circuit City expects demand to outstrip supply through the end of the year."
Crutchfield, which currently has $4 million of all iPod models on order, said that Apple typically ships less than 30% of what the online retailer requests each week. "If you want to get an iPod for someone this Christmas, I'd advise you to get it now—if you can find one," says Scott Anderson, merchandising manager for online retailer Crutchfield.

Of COURSE there will be shortages. How else can you make it look like your thing is more popular than it is and create that buzz?
The Evil Empire is doing this with Xboxes…Apple's doing it with iPods. Apple IS Microsoft, people. Time to stop pretending otherwise…
Posted by stark23x on November 22, 2005 at 4:12 PM (CST)
somehow, i doubt apple is intentionally creating shortages to create buzz this time around, maybe they are constrained by manufacturing capacity and availability of parts like Flash Memory chips but no, i dont think its intentional
Posted by khyberny on November 22, 2005 at 4:39 PM (CST)
I haven't been following what outlets like BestBuy and CompUSA have had in stock, but the Apple Store I frequent has had PLENTY of 5Gs and nanos in both colors and sizes the past two or three weeks.
I've also noticed that the past couple of times I've been in there, the 5G's been getting significantly more attention than the nano, if activity at their respective display tables is a reliable indicator.
Posted by flatline response on November 22, 2005 at 6:02 PM (CST)
It's all lies…anyone who wants an iPod can get one. Worst case scenario is that it's not in stock at the first store you stop at, but some store on the same block, or in the same mall will have it.
There's no shortage…just something new for people to say about the iPod, especially considering the current hot story is the supposed shortage of Xbox consoles.
I guess the Apple vs. Microsoft battle will never end.

I would just shop online. You can usually find out who has and doesn't rather than wasting gas going to the store. Apple online seems to have plenty online right now.
I know it's not as fun.

Sharper Image isn't selling the 5Gs on their own because the demand is so high…they're only selling them to people who buy a package with the speaker sets.

No, the crazy part is that they had ZERO problem selling out at that price.
Even crazier is the $800-$900 closing prices on eBay for the premium package. $500 above retail…incredible.

Legal market overview
Burdened by huge debts racked up by its state-owned banks in the years prior to the credit crisis, Slovenia's economy remains in a parlous condition. The Slovenian Central Bank recently forecast that it expects gross domestic product to contract 2.6% in 2013 and slip a further 0.7% in 2014, and some economists fear it could be the latest EU member to seek an international bailout. Against this backdrop it is hardly surprising that much of the transactional work handled by the country's law firms relates to restructuring and that many M&A mandates have been of a distressed nature. Looking forward, the recent proposal to privatise 15 state-owned companies, in an effort to shore up government finances, should provide a range of mandates for law firms.

Legal Developments in Slovenia
Slovenia: New Employment Relationship Act
On 12 April 2013, Slovenia's new Employment Relationship Act ( Zakon o delovnih razmerjih ; " ERA-1 ") and the Act on the Amendments to the Labour Market Regulation Act ( Zakon o spremembah in dopolnitvah Zakona o urejanju trga dela ; " ZUTD-A ") entered into force, introducing labour market reforms as a result of long-lasting negotiations among the country's social partners. The reforms aim to establish (maintain) adequate protection of workers and their employment relationships by simultaneously implementing more effective and flexible means of adapting to current market conditions (thus reducing labour market segmentation and increasing the flexibility of employment relationships). -
New Competition Protection Agency sets out enforcement priorities
The start of 2013 was marked by the long-awaited introduction of a new antitrust authority - the Competition Protection Agency - which will be led by Andrej Krašek. The internal organisation of the agency differs from the structure of the Competition Protection Office (for further information please see "Competition authority reorganised: finally, again and forthe last time?"). The senate and the president of the senate will be responsible for adopting decisions in individual cases and the agency will be run by the director and the council. The agency has been reinforced with 13 employees from other ministries and public bodies, which should enable quicker resolution of proceedings. -

Slovenia: Cross-Border Mergers in Slovenia
Implementation of the Directive 2005/56/EC on cross-border mergers has for the first time enabled Slovenian companies to merge with companies from other mem-ber states. But Slovenian courts have little practical experience with cross-border mergers. And the complex interaction of the relatively newly harmonised EC legisla-tion and the older local rules requires a sound knowledge of both regimes. It is particularly important to know how the local rules are applied in practice. -

The Congress are living the last American adventure. They've been on the road in support of their debut record, Whatever You Want, for months. They've been hauling a trailer full of equipment from city to town, looking for a place to spend the night, just trying to make a living. "Every night we're in a new city. We don't know anything about the venue. We don't know anybody." Says guitarist Scott Lane. "Or we know everybody. It's crazy."
San Francisco-based Hot Buttered Rum are settling in for three intimate, year-ending performances at San Francisco's Brick and Mortar December 29 – 31. Touring off their forthcoming live album this fall, the band will perform with original band member Zac Matthews returning on mandolin as a special guest on Dec. 30 to perform songs from the band's early days in what they refer to as a 100-year career retrospective.
Nursing a cold and wanting to escape a chilly summer night in San Francisco, I ducked into Café du Nord to hear some music from the roots of America. Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three played an invigorating set in the cozy basement venue. A former speakeasy, Café du Nord is the perfect venue to see a band that calls back to early 20th century music.
Rattling floorboards and seats caused by the stomping of a rowdy crowd is a common occurrence at sporting events. Such a regularity becomes rather out of place at a concert venue however, as was the case for The Head and the Heart's sold out Boulder show. Hollers and whistles accompanied the vibrations during the set, at its finale, and held out through to the encore.
The way the Alan Evans Trio was formed was an act of fate. Guitarist Danny Mayer was drawn to Alan Evans first as a fan of the legendary group Soulive and then a musical connection was established that only magnified when they linked up with organ player Beau Sasser. Firstly, the combined energy that these guys have together is mind blowing.

Mountain lion spotted on East Mesa
An East Mesa woman came home from catching a movie late Tuesday and saw what at first looked to her like a large dog.

I'm surprised that a Game and Fish warden would advise someone to back away from a lion rather than to stand their ground, make themselves look as large as possible by waving a jacket or something, and make some noise.
Jun 26, 2008
The witch hunt has begun.
The packs of neighborhood dogs on the east mesa have been terrorizing folks and killing livestock for years and Animal control has done almost nothing to stop it. Now a Mountain Lion...Well call out the troops we need to hunt it down and KILL the beast..What is wrong with you people? I say lets KILL all the so called pet dogs that run in packs that have raided my chicken coup and have chased kids playing and scattered garbage..These are the real culprets! |
Jun 26, 2008
Round up your guns and your huntin' dogs cuz we is goin' to round up them kitties!!!! Andrew is absolutely right, we allow dogs to run in packs but now thanks to the drought situation animals are doing what they have to in order to survive and we kill them rather than help. Sounds like typical New Mexico. A man can molest and murder some kid and get put away for 5 years, but wow let a wild animal eat a dog and we're ready to string it up.
Jun 26, 2008
Have those round of dogs killed someone? If they have then I agree they do need to be killed too.
Jun 26, 2008
All these poor animals want is water. We have controlled burns & fires dumb peploe start. When that happens they have to come down from the mountian to search for water & sometimes food. Because the fires have destoryed the hunting grounds & there souce of water. Why don't we help these animals instead of let's get our guns. You pepole need to take your guns & put then some where. There is enough killing of humans & animals. They are god's cretrues to just like we are. Wake up.
Jun 26, 2008
Well when this happens to your child or dad or mother, ect...I hope you still have this kind heart of yours. |
Jun 26, 2008
Hey, here is an Idea how about we help humans first! Tons of floods, earthquakes , tornado's and much worse has happened to humans...Why dont you shut your trap and donate money to them that are suffering? I would kill an animal to feed my family any day. If you love animals so much go live in the wild with them and do us all a favor and get your hippi, tree hugging butt out of here!
Jun 26, 2008
I have gone thur this. And i do send money to feed & cloth others in need. I help ever one that i can. you don't have to be a hippi or a tree hugging butt as you put it to help. I love all walkes of life. You two i know can't say the same. When was the last time you two helped pepole or animal.

NEW MEXICO needs to have Mountain Lion Hunts ! First we have a man eating,killing mountain Lion in the Silver City area; IT's know that Male mountain lions have a 100 mile territory; Small dogs have been killed, next your child,thenyour mother,sister, or son; A regulated hunt by NMF&G is what is needed, not for water the mountain Lion is not thirsty, it is hungry and a killer, wake up, Human life is very precious ! Yes Las Cruces is a small town in Southern NM, but people have lived here for almost 100 years, Wake up yes People can live with wild animals, but this is a city of almost 100 people, when it is your mother,child,father or ? what will you do ? YES YOU CAn MOVe TO A DIFFERENT CITY or a different state.
Jun 26, 2008
I like being on top of the food chain and for those of you who dont then go take your children and spouses and dump them off to the wild animals so they can live.
Jun 27, 2008
I do too. |

Mountain lion tracks were found in Settlers Ridge off Del Rey. A lot of retirees walk their pups here.

One problem with being at the top of the food chain is that, if nothing controls your population, eventually you overrun your habitat and start dying back. The population will fluctuate over time like this, but the process doesn't care about the suffering of individuals.
If there's a mountain lion, there are almost definitely more of them out there. Large predators tend to require a lot of ground and a lot of prey to stay alive. The top predator keeps down the numbers of other animals. If we were somehow round up and kill all the mountain lions in the area, is there a chance we'd end up with an over-abundance of the kind of small animals that like to eat your crops? |

First off ... very nice area & town there in Las Cruces. Been to & thru there many times as a truck driver. I like to do some hiking & exploring every now & then when I'm on the road as well. Asked a man once in the EL Paso area if they have & have had problems with mtn. lions. He told me " Oh no. Not around in this part. Too dry and not much for 'em to eat here. " Did some hiking in the Jeff Davis Mtn. area ( TX ) about 6 months back and a man advised me to carry a gun & was FULL of mtn. lions ! So what's the story ?
We're loaded with 'em here in SoCaL. And I've come to realize they are MORE numerous than possibly ever before. Encounters are becoming more & more common. I hate to tell you good people of Las Cruces but you're gonna experience more of this until something is done to control the population. Which sounds like it's needed. I hate a man lost his life but there probably will be more problems with these animals before too long again. I read a while back that one attacked a dog in a very busy section of Las Cruces some months back. Then hearing about pets missing. And now ... a persons death from a mtn. lion. See the pattern. It's writing on the wall that a larger problem is on it's way. Same here in CA. First attacks on animals or pets. Then pets missing. Then a child is mauled. Then somebody is killed. It's a regular pattern if you do your research of mtn lions anytime there have been problems like this. Boulder CO area had many problems there some years back. Pets missing. Pets mauled. Kids saying they were chased on their bikes ( some even 4 - wheelers !)... and before you know it one killed a jogger a short time later. Although beautiful, powerful & graceful animals they are also efficient killers. Just be wary & prepared of the surroundings you live in. Sound advice in Cougar Country. Keep Las Cruces beautiful ... love the Organ Mountains ! |

Missed governor's 'Little engine that could' speech?
- Staff Sacramento Business Journal
Capital Public Radio has archived video of Gov. Jerry Brown's speech Thursday, in which the governor used an eclectic array of literary references — from Yeats to a children's book — to paint an upbeat picture of California's future.
Delivering his annual State of the State address, Brown thanked the Legislature for adopting budget cuts and the voters for approving Proposition 30 last fall, which increased taxes to help close a persistent deficit. Brown has proposed a budget for 2013-14 that would be the first in years to balance revenue and expenses.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle praised aspects of the speech.
