Thieves as Employees, Sheriff Called to Retrieve Stolen Phone
Posted by
POWAY, CALIFORNIA -- DO NOT USE THIS LOCATION! I am not exaggerating when I say that they have thieves for employees. I accidentally left my phone in the car I had rented and went to retrieve it approx. 2 hours later. I knew for a fact that my phone had been left in the rental car. Matt at the front desk told me that the car had already been cleaned out and looked in a drawer with items I am assuming were left behind in the cars and my phone was not there. He handed me the keys to the car so that I could double-check, but it was not there. He tried to get a hold of the employee that cleaned out the car, but could not reach him. We tried calling the phone, but there was no answer. I left my contact information with Matt and he said that he would get a hold of me if he found anything. After not hearing from him for over an hour, I tried calling the office multiple times over the time span of about an hour, but there was never an answer.
I finally called the dealership in which the Hertz office is located inside of and asked if they could get a hold of someone for me at the Hertz desk and they did. I explained my situation and an extremely rude man snapped at me that he had just gotten there because Matt had gone home sick and he would "investigate" and get back to me. At this point, I knew something wasn't right. After not hearing anything again for over an hour, I called back and the same man yelled at me saying that he hadn't had a chance to look yet. I was sick of getting the runaround at this point and told him I would get the Sheriff down there to solve the problem. He hung up on me. I contacted the Sheriff's office and arranged for an officer to come with me to "Preserve the Peace."
On my way down to the Sheriff's office, I received a call on my sister's phone (I left it as my contact number) from the man at Hertz asking which car I had rented and a description of my phone. I gave him the information not expecting much, but he called back 10 minutes later saying that my phone had magically appeared. I retrieved my phone and was so mad and relieved that I just got the hell out of that office. I immediately noticed that the brand new charger I had gotten was stripped at the USB B end. There was a call placed (before I had it shut off), music was listened to and there was obviously no intention of my phone being turned in. The port on my phone was completely destroyed and I was never able to charge it after getting it back. I went for a week without a phone before I could get a new one, which ended up costing me $300 for the same phone as I was not due for an upgrade for another year. The state that my phone was returned in made it useless. I lock my phone now as I trust no one to be honest thanks to Hertz employees.
I will not be using Hertz again as a day rental ended up costing me an additional $300 for a new phone and the realization that customers cannot expect companies to employ people who aren't thieves. I have contacted the Hertz corporate office, but never received any correspondence. The employee who cleaned out the car I rented should have been fired for keeping my phone. Hertz apparently does not look down on breaking the law at work because I know many companies with a zero tolerance for theft in the workplace, whether it's committed against the company or customers.

Munich Hertz Rental Scam (Holiday Inn Location)

MUNICH GERMANY -- Upset Muenchner
Munich Hertz Rental Scam (Holiday Inn Location)
Warning to all potential rental car customers!
I have been a Hertz Gold # 1 Club member for over 10 years and had no problems renting in USA until I picked up a car in Munich with 15 K miles in November of 2009 with minor damages on both sides and the front. After a week, I brought the car back to the Holiday Inn location operated by a rude single person who did not even bother to come down to look at the car in the garage. I had her stamp my prepaid invoice and walked away. Few weeks later, I noticed on my credit card charges of 429 Euros as 'Non Waivable Damage Excess" ...
My explanations about the fact that I never caused any damage to the rental was not accepted and they sent a frontal photo with a finger pointing to a white spot on the bumper which could hardly be seen (less than 0.5 cm) ... The car in the photo was unwashed and could also very well be dirt. In any case my correspondence did not solve the case and I am very bitter. I never thought that they could just charge any amount on my credit card and get away with it.
I read in some blog that one should take before and after photos. What happened to good old days when everybody was trustworthy...

Worst Job in My Whole Entire Life!
Posted by
DALLAS, TEXAS -- This company is simply a joke! I just recently graduated college and figured Hertz, would be a spectacular company to work for while leaving the job fair, words couldn't describe the overwhelming joy I felt, that I was about to start my career in an remarkable organized company that has plenty of incentives and great pay, but that was simply a lie. The sole focus of Hertz is "numbers" they don't care about their employees. Yes, I understand when working for a huge corporation your sales/number are an important aspect, but employees require a lot of respect. It was almost like the company was setting you up for failure the moment I started. Working in sales all my life, I figured I would breeze through this job, but was I ever wrong. After, my 3rd week alone at the store, they left at to run the WHOLE store by myself for a week, considering I had a total of 8 days total of "full training" I was usually washing or cleaning cars the entire day. My area manager who had no clue on earth what she was doing (which got promoted into her position by looks) stopped by for a grand total of 30 minutes to check on me she had more important things to do other than show the rookie the ropes, she felt confident I was smart enough to figure things out of my own.
Before leaving she basically said call the other branch manager if I needed anything. The customers who came to the counter always greeted me with a nice warm friendly smile, but after seeing their car they came back in disgust. Our fleet only consisted of about 6 to 10 cars total throughout the day. These cars were beyond ragged out stains, musty odors, and high mileage. I couldn't blame the customers for being outraged at the cars; they were spending their hard working money on thrash. My response for the customers were "I'm sorry guys, but that's all we have" I felt horrible after repeating this line several times a day. Another complaint I would like to address is the over worked hours you get paid for a "professional job" I actually took a pay cut taking this job, it was ridiculous starting at 10.50 an hour. After taxes you were literally making pennies! The moment I opened my pay stub and saw the amount, the manager could see the dissatisfaction in my eyes she would always make me feel better by using the same scam. Ryan, "It will be no time before you will get promoted and get to run your own store and make bigger bucks". I would get rude responses daily by customers by getting numerous reservations throughout, the day and not having enough cars to supply them with. So they were basically in bad situation while trying to rent with us. They had a few options go to Enterprise, the next closest place (which could be miles away) or call their ride back and be out of luck for the day, I particularly felt sorry for the people who had flights to catch. Lunches were interesting, there were days were I was so stressed out all I would have to look forward is lunch some alone and quite time, I never worked a job where 10 minutes into a lunch, a customer calls your cell phone demanding you to get to the counter because he they didn't have time to wait.
On numerous, occasions I had to throw my lunch away like a good loyal employee would do and meet the customer needs. This goes back to the corporation of course having an understaffed store; I now know why the turnover rate for my particular store was so incredible high 12 employees within in the last couple of years. So here is to anyone who sees a Hertz add, commercial, or billboard don't feed into to their lies, this is not a good corporation to work you are wasting your time if you work for this company. It was a real eye opener for me on how such a so called "great organization" can be so unorganized. It left me at the end of the day feeling drain, exhausted, and stressed from dealing with so many unhappy customers. Not to mention I had to sell some bogus insurance to people and ask them the same question in numerous ways, even if they said no! For some people, they can't afford it but they put so much stress every morning on how it such a great deal, I not only felt if I was lying to the customer, but I was lying to myself ultimately.

Deceitful Business Practices
Posted by
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- My wife were planning a 2 week long trip to California so we booked a compact car through Hertz exactly 1 month in advance.
We took advantage of their "Hertz 50 Plus" discount as we are both older. We chose the "pay now" option to secure a better rate which amounted to about $160. Upon finishing up the reservation on line we received an email confirmation which stated no rate at all. We were needless to say a little suspicious.
When we arrived at the airport in SF about 1am after traveling for nearly 12 hours the Hertz representative acted very confused and irritated and said that she was not familiar with this type of discount in spite of the fact that we had a hard copy of the reservation.,She was back pedaling as quickly as she could.
In order to get out of the airport with a compact rental we were essentially forced to sign an agreement for almost $900 for this 2 week period.
The next day I phoned the same Hertz counter and stated that I'd like to pick up a compact car today for a 2 week period and did not have a reservation. The price they gave me was $200 less than what they had presented to me the night before! What is going on here?
I phoned the national branch and they were sympathetic. They reduced the rate to what would have been the "pay later" option when I initially made the reservation but this was still not fair.
I had legitimately put this charge on my Visa but my credit card company had no record of this charge. This has got to be the first time in my life that a Visa charge did not go through with an in line purchase. I am currently attempting to dispute this over charge but what an uphill battle this has been. Hertz continues to utilize deceitful business practices and I can' t believe that AAA actually endorses them! I will never ever do business with them again.
What a despicable company!! And here's the icing on the cake, the car broke down after a week and we spent an entire day waiting for a replacement. One day of our vacation was taken from us. Shame on Hertz.

Hertz Put Me on a DNR for No Reason Again
Posted by
I have rented from Hertz for the last 7 years. I was Presidents Cricle about 5 of those years gernerating about 20k or more each year for Hertz. Last year I became Platinum. This April 24th I was placed on a DNR for an incident that happened on August 17th, 2010. almost 2 years later. I had a misunderstanding with a manager [snip] at the Ontario Airport. I did not curse at her or threaten her. I did not want a vehicle she tried to give me so I asked for something different.
She was rude and said no, and if I didn't want the car they had then I could leave walking. ( mind you I am crutches for life ). I told her that I didn't want to argue I just did not like the vehicle they gave me and I wanted a different one. Well long story short she went to the back and called the police and told them to make me leave because I didn't want the car she offered me. WOW. I wrote a letter and complained ( 3 pages of detailed information ). I received an apology from the location Manager on November 18, 2010, saying she talked to the employees and was sorry.
The 20 something of November 2010 there was a request to have me on the DNR. I was DNR on February 7, 2011 for the incident, claiming I made unwarranted comments and threats toward a Hertz employee. I wrote an appeal letter February 19, 2011. the DNR was overturned March 1, 2011. I was fine after that, renting on a monthly basis. Well now comes April of 2012, I needed a truck and called the Ontario Airport to see if they had one. A manager said he would try and locate one. He placed my name on the board stating a Platinum customer [snip]needed a truck. Well [snip] seen the board and flipped, questioning why I was able to rent again and that I should not be able to. So the location manager [snip] called the DNR and had me readded to the list. At this time I had 3 rentals out. One I was driving, my secretary the other, and the wife the other. I have fought and fought for Hertz to realize I was not in the wrong for the incident.
I provided document after document to prove my position. I have [snip]gotten nowhere! I tried dealing with the regional manager, nothing! [snip] at the main office over operations, nothing! My word against their local manager, but mine with supporting evidence. This lady [snip] has some kind of Vendetta against me and I do not know why. But Hertz is being completely unfair towards me. Not sure what else to do. I do not like having me name Tarnished by lies. I am a great person, I volunteer with several non profit organizations, ex military and a mentor to many. I just want Hertz to do the right thing.

Treatment of employees
Posted by
UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON -- I actually have two informative complaints. The first is Hertz's deplorable treatment of employees. I worked for a Hertz in the Pacific Northwest, and from day 1 was treated horribly by a tyrannical, bullying boss. He wasn't even the branch manager, just an assistant. He basically did no work, had no customer contact(except to fraduantly boost his sales numbers) and treated me and any other new hire like we were subhuman. Hertz later rewarded his horrible behavior by promoting him to manager. I was forced to work 60-75 hour weeks, sometimes 7-14 days without a day off. The managers would only work a few hours a day mon-fri. If I complained, I was threatened with a write-up. I was eventually promoted to assistant manager after a year, but I was honest with customers, and fair with my co-workers. I was constantly talked to by managers saying that I needed to be more "pushy" with my sales and told that sometimes "you have do to shady, backward things to boost revenue." When ordering cars for reservations, we have to call our city's fleet managers. Often, when we had reservations for specific types of cars like suv's or pickups, or luxury, I was told by the fleet managers that there were none, and I had to make due with my tauruses or corollas that I usually had on hand. And even when we were low on regular cars, and I had to call fleet in order to have more brought in, they would just simply tell me that there were none, and I would have to turn people away, and to only rent the remaining cars to high level Gold customers. (After all, they were miles away in their large offices in admin,not on the counter when the out of luck customers came in.) We were also not aloud to give out the phone numbers for the fleet managers to customers, or we would be suspended. Also, often, I had to back up Hertz policies to customers who were trying to cheat our rules, and was sold out by management. The customers were always coddled to, even if they were clearly in the wrong, and I was made to look like a schmuck. When it came time to get our commission each month, Hertz would suddenly raise its level of equation(the sales formula matrix we used for determining the level of commission we received for our monthly sales)making us ineligible for a dime of commission after we had worked extremely hard all month and usually had more than $20k in personal revenue. When it came to quarterly bonuses, we had to sign a waiver stating that the company can withhold all our money for no reason at all if it chooses, so we usually didn't know if we would see our bonuses. Branch and upper management was a total joke. I once had an employee who was physically assulted by a customer who was angry because he didn't give himself enough time to return his car and thus missed his train. The customer threw the keys at my employee, hitting him hard in the head, causing a large welt and bruise. The customer then called us all horrible names, and his reward from the manager was a free rental, and a voucher for a future rental. The employee wanted to press charges, and was taken into the back office and chastized. He was later forced to quit when he did not let the matter drop. I myself was once so verbally assulted by a customer, that I was physically shaken for days. The customer was upset because of the company imposed credit check on debit cards(not MY rule)and proceeded to call me an F'ing B@#%^. He also threatened my family and insulted everything about me including my physical appearance. I was of course alone that day, as management decided to go to a movie and out to lunch with some higher ups.(I am a female and the location is in a large city.) I told the customer to leave or I would be forced to call police. The customer later called the city manager, gave him my name, and told him I had threatened HIM!!. I was forced to write a letter of apology to him, and I was also given a formal write-up, and he got vouchers for free rentals. After the tyrannical boss was finally fired after three years, our new manager came in, and was not much better. He scammed customers by upgrading them into the same class of car that they had booked, and also tricked them into buying coverage they did not need. He also once told me about our auto repair shop accounts, "Getting business from these accounts is of upmost importance. You know how these shop owners and managers are, they are crude. If you are ever sexually harassed, or they make sexual comments towards you in any way, just laugh it off and take it. Because nothing else is important as the money these shops bring into the store." I was one of the lucky ones to do quite well in commission and bonuses, usually making between $80-85K a year(unique to our specific location. most off airport locations((called HLE's)) employees make around $30-35k a year). The problem was that I had learned the system and profiting off it to Hertz disadvantage. They offered me a "promotion" to an insurance company liaison for $26k a year, to which I turned down and told them that I was happy being an assistant manager for the time being. Within a week I was called to admin and told that my position was being eliminated. I was told that I would receive unemployment (to which I was denied-big lie from Hertz) and that I would receive my unused vacation and sick time (to which I eventually had to threaten a lawsuit to collect). So suffisive to say, Hertz likes to kick their employees and kick them down some more. If you have children in college now (A bachelor's is required for employment at all non-airport locations)Tell them to keep walking when they see the Hertz and Enterprise(not much better)booths.
My second complaint is to all of you self-centered, arrogant, crybaby, tantrum throwing customers. I have never met a ruder bunch of people who considered themselves adults and educated in my entire life. Just a word of advice. The world does not revolve around you. There are other people existing along with you. Standing in line is part of life. get used to it. I know that you want a specific car when you make your reservation, but that is just not how things work in any rental car company, it is logistically impossible. Just take what you get.
They are not going to make you keep it. Hence the word, RENTAL!! If you don't like the deposit, extra driver fees, drop fees, underage fees, take public transportation or walk. Those things are just the rules and part of the rental process. Also, give yourself enough time to pick up and return your rental. I can't even begin to count the number of people who were always in an "extreme hurry" Come on for christ's sakes, traveling is not efficient. And also, and this is the most important thing to remember, the person behind the counter is a college educated adult just as you supposedly are. Please treat them how you would want to be treated. And remember that most problems you have are probably completely not their fault (bad management, remember) and out of their hands to fix. And when you do have a problem, please try to be polite and cooperative, even if you are very angry. When people were rude to me, I was rude right back. When people were nice to me, I went the extra mile for them, and even gave them big discounts and extras (such as gas, taxi credit, etc)for free. Besides, would you be nice to someone who was in your face screaming and calling you horrible names? I don't think so. And just one more thing. Hertz and all rental car companies are "for profit" businesses. They are not charities. I can't think of the number of times customer complained about Hertz "just trying to make a profit off from them." DUH! I bet the company you all work for is in business to make a profit, isn't it. So just remember those few little tidbits, and your next rental experience should go smoother, because remember, the agents are being crapped on by their employer even before you walk through the door :)

Never Rent a Car From Hertz
Posted by
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- I will never rent from Hertz again. I had booked a rental in February 2014 for a rental car for December 26, 2014 through to January 1, 2015. When I arrived at the Orlando Airport Hertz desk they had to rental cars left. We were forced to upgrade due to having a wedding to get to. The Orlando Airport Hertz did not seem to worried that there were 40-50 people who had reserved vehicles when they had not one single vehicle at the location. After being forced to upgrade because no cars being available, I phoned around on December 27th, 2014 to find a Hertz location to exchange the car into in order to get the car we were supposed to have because the upgrade was an insane amount.
We were able to exchange the vehicle but were charged an extreme amount on the first car. I have been in contact with Customer Care and all they could do was 50% back which still puts us way over what the price of what we reserved at. They credited back to my account without my consent because they said I could try the Orlando Airport location and speak to a manager to see if they could do anything better for me.
After a week of trying to get a hold of someone at the Orlando Airport Hertz desk was not happening because they were not answering their phones. I called customer care back to find out that they had credited my account and now could not do anymore. I was told over the phone by the customer care representative who was a manager that me as a customer was wrong to argue about the issue and that reservation does guarantee there will be a vehicle there for you when you arrive. What is the point in booking a reservation then?
I am 100% dissatisfied and I will never rent or do business with Hertz again.

ACTS of GOD
Posted by
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- This is the worst car rental ever! When you check in at the counter you are given a key and told what stall your car is in. When I asked about having the car inspected before leaving I was told that they are not available never used. NEVER TAKE THEIR CAR ON GOOD FAITH. When heading out of Nashville towards the Mountains the inside of the window had a run. When driving in the mountains the run went across the window. It was only felt on the inside. It appeared to have started below where you could see it in the dash. We called the national number and was told that we could return it the next morning an hour away. Upon return a complaint form was filled out.
When asked for someone to review the car was once again told that it would be reviewed later. A key was given and told what stall to get a new car from. Once again, no one would go over the car with us. We looked at it ourselves and found no damage to the second car. Here we are almost 4 months later and am now asked to pay for windshield. When complaint was reviewed with customer service and answers asked she kept talking over me and when asked why she wouldn't listen or answer me she said we already went over this. Was referred to my contract and told that any damage from acts of God, hail storms and such are my responsibility. She said she thought that driving in the mountains was an act of God. Go figure.
So I guess they are saying that I will rent you a car to go the mountains and we know something will happen with the attitude change so HA HA on you. You get to fix our car. WHAT a great way to have someone else pay for crap they don't want to fix. So, if a crack comes up on the inside of the windshield that starts below the rubber around it, guess what? You are screwed. Somehow Hertz rental customers are always screwed.

Horrible Service!!!
Posted by
ORLANDO, CONNECTICUT -- I prepaid for a car rental through Priceline.
The counter person at the Hertz Orlando, FL airport refused to honor Priceline's contract price for my car rental. She was very argumentative, insisting that I HAD to purchase insurance, Neverlost GPS, Sirrius Radio and other add ons. I told her I only wanted what I paid for through Priceline and she said that was NOT possible. I informed her that I already had insurance coverage for the rental car and did not want Neverlost GPS or any other add ons, she said the car comes with the add ons and I HAD to pay for them.
I told her absolutely not and had to make numerous phone calls to resolve the issue until she FINALLY gave me the rental car the way I purchased it through Priceline....or so I thought. I returned the car on time with a full tank of gas and she, without my authorization or knowledge, made numerous charges to my credit card including a charge for gas. After many calls to Hertz, I had all charges reversed except for the Neverlost GPS which the counter person claimed I asked for, because she could not provide proof of this...... a Hertz manager, Dan had this charge reversed.
He also apologized for the very poor service I received at this Airport counter. I rent cars often and I have never experienced such horrible counter service as this! This was the first and last time I will ever rent a car from Hertz!!
Buyer beware when renting a car from Hertz!!!!

Allowed To Rent Car In Spain Without Proper License To Drive In
Posted by
MADRID, SPAIN -- BEWARE ALL AMERICAN DRIVERS IN SPAIN - We were two 50 year old people leaving Pamplona, Spain on a July Monday morning in a BMW rented from Hertz. We were stopped at the toll booth by police and breathlyzed. The driver passed but were told to pull over to side of road. We gave over the Hertz contract, the valid California driver's license, USA passport and the car registration. The police informed us were were not legally allowed to drive in Spain without an INTERNATIONAL LICENSE and Hertz should not have allowed us to rent a car. We were made to turn over 250 Euros in cash to continue our journey.
Once we gave them cash, we were allowed to leave but they intimidated us for 90 minutes and threatened to arrest us. When we returned to Hertz in Madrid they admitted that they rented cars to people without asking for an INTERNATIONAL LICENSE since they assume we know they are needed. The Hertz representative on the phone in the USA never asked us for any International License either. When we were pulled over, the police told us they did the same thing to a couple from Michigan just before they pulled us over. HERTZ and the Spanish police are out for American tourist dollars. BEWARE

What makes IPLP unique is its approach to education. Students are educated both in the classroom and the real world, by faculty who are leaders both in their academic field and in the community. Each year, IPLP offers more than 50 credit hours of courses specialized courses, including courses in Tribal Law, Federal Indian Law, and International Indigenous Peoples Law. Students may also choose between a wide variety of related law courses, as well as graduate courses in other campus departments.

Indigenous people are increasingly turning to international law and the international human rights system as a means of protecting their lands and property. While much attention is given to the United Nations and the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People, this course will focus on the role played by the Organization of American States, and in particular the Inter-American Court and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in protecting indigenous peoples¿ rights to property in their traditional lands and cultural integrity, identity and survival.

Covers a broad range of issues including sovereignty, constitutional reform and by-law development, cultural preservation, securitization of resources, intellectual property, religious freedom, health, social welfare and education.
Explores critical nation-building issues confronting Indigenous peoples in North America, with a primary focus on Native peoples in the United States. The issues to be analyzed include: economic development, politics, culture and identity; and leadership and institution-building. Issues, concepts, and theories examined in the course will provide a basis for examining current Indigenous institutions of self-government; assessing policies of federal, First Nation/tribal, and state/provincial governments; analyzing how to enhance the foundational capacities for effective governance and for strategic attacks on education, economic, and community development problems of Native nations; and augmenting leadership skills, knowledge, and abilities for nation-building.
Experiential component of Nation Building; Nation Building I is a prerequisite
Indigenous peoples continue to struggle with the contradictions between economies organized in ways they desire and the choices presented in contemporary economies. This course addresses five principles that are key to organizing an economy based upon an indigenous world view: 1.) Because everything is connected, externalities, common pool goods and public goods must be recognized. 2.) Among the most important connections for indigenous peoples is that with their land. 3.) Reciprocity, both between people and their land, and among people, is a fundamental organizational principle for exchange. 4.) Because peoples¿ connections to land are permanent, the sustainability of that connection is important, which leads to concern about the far future. 5) Leaders have to be accountable for their actions, based upon implementation of the first four principles.
Covers tangible and intellectual cultural property, its identity, ownership, appropriation and repatriation and will begin with the history of the appropriation of cultural materials and the development of national and international laws.
Examines cultural heritage protection and the redefinition of indigenous peoples' heritage as a proprietary resource. Discussion will include select case law, the ethical and economic issues raised by the worldwide circulation of indigenous art, music, and biological knowledge, and the fundamental dichotomy of heritage as a protected resource within a multicultural society.
Explores the economic, social, cultural, religious and political consequences of globalization, the Building of Empires, the Poetics of Culture, the Logic of Global Capitalism, consequences of Technologies, New Measurements of Progress, Economic Development, Land Use, Agriculture, and the Environment.
Domestic Violence present many challenges to the legal system, both because of its sociological dynamics and because it is one of the rare situations where civil court orders (in the form of protection orders) are enforced through the filing of criminal charges. These already difficult challenges are further complicated when issues of tribal jurisdiction are layered in. This course will explore those challenges and methods of addressing them.
One of the striking features of the last four decades in North America has been the growing assertion and exercise by Indigenous peoples of rights of self-determination and self-government. What does self-government mean in the Indigenous context? How does it differ from self-management or self-administration? How do self-governing nations actually govern? What governance strategies are they using? What tools and capacities do self-governing nations need if they are to be effective at achieving their goals and carrying out the tasks of self-determination? This five day course attempts to answer these and related questions.
This course, limited to twenty students, will explore the legal history of racism in the post-colonial and post-modern West from critical race and post-colonial theoretical and practice-oriented clinical perspectives. This seminar will focus on the difficulties in defining and understanding the meanings of the term "race," the nature of racism and racial oppression; theories of racial formation; the differing implications of colonization and immigration; the formation of stereotypes; unconscious racism; the gendered and sexualized nature of race and theories of racial identity.
Students provide research support to tribes and tribal courts in Arizona and the Southwest, including serving as law clerks, drafting rules and procedures, drafting training materials, drafting statutes and other projects as identified. Topics concerning tribal courts and tribal law will be discussed during class.
An introduction to basic federal Indian law policies and basic will writing. Emphasis will be on the American Indian Probate Reform Act. Students will travel to the San Xavier District of the Tohono O'odham Reservation as well as to Sells to meet with clients who own allotted lands. Students will interview individual clients and prepare their wills along with any related estate documents.
Provides domestic and international legal assistance to the Indigenous peoples of the southwest and the world.
IPLP assists indigenous communities in a variety of cases involving the use of international human rights norms and procedures of the United Nations and regional systems.
Students who represent the University of Arizona at the National NALSA Moot Court Competition may be eligible to receive course credit for doing so. Each student must consult the law school policies to determine whether the student meets the requirements.
The Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program (IPLP) Colloquium Speaker Series is designed as a graduate level seminar open to all IPLP LL.M and S.J.D. students, as well as students in the Indigenous Governance programs, which include the MPS, Continuing Education Certificate, and Graduate Certificate.
Students work under the supervision of a faculty member to write a publishable paper or complete a comparable project. Arrangements with the supervising faculty member must be made prior to registration.
For masters degree students who are working on their thesis. Meeting times are arranged individually between the student and the chair of the dissertation committee.

Nationwide Insurance index ranks Cleveland as second-healthiest housing market in U.S.
It's safe to say Cleveland still has some crime problems
Blog Entry:
January 23, 2013 10:59 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Cleveland's high on a
no city wants to make.
CNNMoney.com compiles the results of CQ Press' annual analysis of FBI data on rates of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary and car theft. (The data are from 2011, the most recent year available.) CQ Press uses the data to create a "crime index" — a weighted average of those six crime categories. The national rate is 1 and any number higher than that indicates a higher than average incidence of crime.
Cleveland is No. 4 on the list, with a crime index of 3.09. Here's the summary of the crime situation in the city:
Burglaries were one of the biggest issues facing Cleveland residents in 2011, with the number of break-ins and thefts climbing by 8.6% from the previous year. That gave the city the second-highest burglary rate in the country — next to Toledo.
Street crimes -- robberies and assaults -- also continued to soar, with Cleveland second only to Oakland among the nation's 72 largest cities.
One area of improvement: The number of murders fell from 81 in 2010 to 74 in 2011, a murder rate of 18.6 per 100,000 citizens.
No. 1 on the list was Detroit, with a crime index of 4.71 and a murder rate of 48.2 per 100,000 people.
This and that
Taking off:
Bloomberg runs an
upbeat look
Nextant Aerospace
, the remanufacturer of business jets that is based at the Cuyahoga County Airport in Highland Heights.
"Nextant has recently delivered planes to customers in Germany and the Czech Republic, and aims to deliver 24 to 30 jets globally this year, compared with 25 since late 2011," Bloomberg reports. "The European Aviation Safety Agency acted last year to allow the company's Nextant 400XTs to fly throughout the continent."
Nextant remanufactures jets by adding new engines and instruments to the used airframes of Hawker Beechjet 400A/XPs. The plane sells for about $4.5 million, roughly half the price of a comparable new jet, according to new president Sean McGeough.
"It allows customers that may not have been able to buy a new aircraft to buy one that has already taken the residual-value hit," Mr. McGeough tells Bloomberg. "Every time you buy anything new, it will depreciate significantly the day you fly away, and this airframe has already taken that hit."
Nextant's order backlog is worth $175 million and the number of entry-level business jets in Europe stands at 1,542 planes worth about $5 billion, according to the company.
No guarantees:
You might not consider Carmen Policy much of an authority on anything, based on his tenure as president of the expansion
Cleveland Browns
, but he serves as a voice of experience in
this Businessweek.com story
about the probable relocation of the Sacramento Kings to Seattle.
"Their biggest problems are: Where will they play, and when will they play there?" says Mr. Policy, who oversaw the team after the original Cleveland Browns left. "Moving into a market where you haven't been — even if you have history there — can be very difficult if you're playing temporarily in a facility that's not up to, shall we say, league standards."
But as the Browns have proved, playing in a new facility that was very much up to league standards at the time is no guarantee of success.
Finding their place:
A Lakewood man provides a fun starting point for a
discussion on TheAtlanticCities.com
about urbanism and Midwestern cities.
A semi-regular feature on the website features responses from TheAtlanticCities.com editors, staff writers or expert contributors based on a reader's urbanism-related question. The latest question comes from Lakewood's Matt Kuchs:
My home state of Iowa is surrounded by states with bigger cities acting as bigger magnets for its college graduates. Within a few years of graduation, nearly all of my friends and acquaintances had fled the state, and a few years later I joined them. It seems unlikely, particularly in that context, that Des Moines is ever going to "catch up" to Chicago, or even Minneapolis or Kansas City.
What should these states do, from an urban future-centric perspective? Are they simply obsolete as polities, should they just be decertified and folded into neighbors which won the city race?
TheAtlanticCities.com's Richard Florida says Mr. Kuhn's question focuses on what's often called the "giant urban sorting machine."
A 25-year-old college graduate "is three to five times more likely to move as someone in their 50s," Dr. Florida writes. "Many cities think they can lure young people back as they get older and have families, and while this may work to a certain extent, the simple math suggests they can never recoup their losses of young people."
So what can they do?
"The key thing cities of every size and scale need to realize is that building a more vibrant economy need not be a zero-sum game where some cities win at the expense of others," Dr. Florida argues. "A key thing cities can do is develop strategies to tap into the creative energy of all their residents in every kind of job."
He concludes by noting that famed urbanist Jane Jacobs once said the best cities "are actually federations of great neighborhoods. I like that. The key for cities and communities is to figure out what they do best as part of the bigger system of metros and mega-regions in their part of the world."

How to Select
How to Select an Electrical Dimmer?
Electrical Dimmers are suitable for many different types of lighting, however, most dimmers work for a specific type of lighting to allow for the best operation possible. Therefore, when installing your lighting, it is important to consider the dimmer as well.Dimmer Types:
Incandescent works with all standard incandescent light bulbs in your home. This is the most commonly used type of dimmer. This dimmer will handle typical 120v household electricity at line voltage levels.
Magnetic 12v – used for low voltage "magnetic" applications only. This dimmer will not work on a 120v household circuit. It is not uncommon for these to have a "load rating" which will determine which dimmer you should install.
Electronic 12v – used for low voltage applications only. These dimmers will allow dimming of smaller devices such as landscape lighting, under cabinet lighting, or other 12v lighting units.
Compact Flourescent / LED – specifically designed to dim the lighting of Compact Flourescent and LED lighting fixtures. These can be wired to any lighting source which operates CFL / LED bulbs. We do not recommend attempting to connect CFL / LED lighting to a standard Incandescent dimmer.
It is important to consider the amount of wattage you will need to dim to make sure you do not overload your dimmer. Dimmer switches can be purchased in different increments such as 450, 600, 800, or 1000 watts. For reference, if you are looking to dim a room with 8 x 100watt recessed lights, you will want to install the 1000watt dimmer to allow for some buffer.
- 3-way – Dimmers that allow for 3 way wiring allow the dimmer switch to be connected with other dimmers to provide multiple control stations. These are suitable when you would like 2 swicthes to control a single lighting fixture.
- Single-pole – Standard dimmers which connect to a standard circuit providing smooth even dimming along the length of the dim cycle. These dimmers do not have 3-way lighting characteristics.
Wireless dimmers allow you to dim a specific device wirelessly by using InfraRed or other technologies. These advanced dimmers will work with compatible devices.Color:
When choosing a color for your dimmers, it is based on your personal preference. In most décor, matching the wall color can make finding a dimmer difficult if lighting conditions are bad. Therefore, it is not uncommon for home owners to install contrasting colored dimmers to add visual appeal and to increase your ability to find the switch when you need it most. In addition, it is important to consider whether you need LED indication or not, which is available on many dimmers available here at Westside Wholesale.
Additional Assistance:If you would like professional expert advice on selecting your dimmers, please contact our Customer Service Department through Live Chat, or by calling 1-877-998-9378,

So yes some of you argued that its a question about their enterprise distros... so redhat linux vs fedora and suse enterprise vs opensuse. that is just my point, they do that just because of making money its technicaly stupid to do. there is a reason why there are so many ubuntu-clones it costs much effort to make out of nothing or even out of debian a destkop-ready distribution its just more work, that taking ubuntu and make your diffs to that.
So they make themself more work, and dont work together because they want to sell it, it makes technicaly no sense. And to the suse is not redhatish, as far as I know, lsb is basicly we define how redhat does stuff as standart, mostly... and maybe I am wrong here? Suse have directory structure and rpm and most other stuff like lsb says it. So I dont really get it.
New hardware systems are uefi based. Anaconda was first coded with one solution, and then, following SUSE, whose solution was superior, they dropped that solution for one that is as compliant.
Anaconda will be used by other distributions such as CENTOS, SCIENTIFIC LINUX, RED Hat Linux and other Linuxes that are forks of Fedora.
Solving the problem for Fedora is solving it for others. It has to work on many platforms, uefi and non uefi, on the mac and on pentium 3 systems as well as the atom.
That is quite a feat. The UBUNTU solution as far as I know, is a temporary one, that UBUNTU started with a year ago. The solution that parallels Fedora and SUSE will probably be presented in a later UBUNTU version.
I am using Fedora 18 based an the Alpha release. Because it was alpha, some stuff needs tweaking, but all the applications I have downloaded and used, work flawlessly.
So yes, we understand that Anaconda is late, and that the programer(s) are under pressure, but we must also back off from criticism. The new anaconda looks very much better than the legacy version from which we are moving away. One cannot divide ones attention to multiple problems when the others require a solid reliable installer program.
I do hope some things have improved from this early look last August though in terms of design:
For a start, you're confusing UEFI and Secure Boot. UEFI is a new firmware standard for PCs, replacing the old BIOS standard. It has been around for several years, and Fedora has supported it for several releases, since Fedora 12 at least.
You seem to be talking about Secure Boot, which is a single feature of recent versions of the UEFI specification. It is not mandatory under the UEFI spec, though it is required by Microsoft's Windows 8 certification program. Many systems have already shipped with UEFI firmwares in the last few years, with no Secure Boot. I'm typing this on one.
As far as Secure Boot goes, most of the necessary support is not in anaconda, it is in the bootloader and kernel layers. anaconda does not have to do anything special to support Secure Boot, really, beyond maybe installing an extra package.
And in terms of actually supporting Secure Boot - it is more correct to say that many parties, including RH and SUSE, have been working in collaboration to support SB. RH's Matthew Garrett came up with the broad design that Fedora, SUSE and Ubuntu will all use. SUSE suggested a neat revision to the design which Matt liked, and incorporated into his work; it's not correct to say that we started out with one codebase and then completely ditched it for a different one which SUSE designed, this is a misrepresentation. Since SUSE's plan was pretty much the same as Matt's plan plus the neat improvement, and Matt added their suggested improvement, they just decided to use the code Matt was working on. In the end it works out as a collaborative effort.
Fedora and SUSE will both use virtually the same code for SB support. Ubuntu will use a slightly older version of the same code initially, configured in a slightly different way. As Matthew wrote at http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/18945.html:
"As far as I know, Suse and Fedora will be shipping the same code. Ubuntu is shipping an older version of Shim but should pick up the local key management code in the next release. The only significant difference is that Ubuntu doesn't require that kernel modules be signed."
I do recommend reading through Matt's blog archive on the topic. It's dense stuff, but you'll wind up better informed

Blunt, though not graphic, presentation of adolescent sexuality.
In which Frodo translates Elvish, realizes that Bilbo is in love, has a heart-to-heart with one of his cousins, and remembers how he got so good at pleasing others.

I hadn't had a chance to get caught up on OMY until today (am home sick) and have finished it all in one gulp. Great stuff so far. I really like Gilda, although I wonder how much she knows/suspects about her son. Her conversation with Bilbo was fascinating. What could have happened "four years ago"? I've wracked my brain trying to think of what it might be, with no luck.
I am also very amused at the hints you're dropping about Wintermark... can't wait to see whether I've guessed right or whether you're going to pull another rabbit entirely out of your hat.
The only awkward bit I noticed was Frodo thinking of his uncle and Gilda: "Frodo had more attentive the last few days of how the two were when together".

Gilda and Bilbo will come back to several interesting topics over the rest of the stay, including Sara. Their relationship was something that I had very roughly sketched while doing Legacy, then had it give me a good whap up side the head in OMY and demand to be taken more seriously.
As to what "happened" four yers ago, there will be hints in chapter 10, but it is actually a speculation on my part. Something happened down South is all that can be known for certain. I am going to try to address it in my Denethor fic - if it ever gets written.
Send me a note about what you think will happen at Wintermark - I'd like to see how much is coming through.
The next two chapters are Bilbo - Bilbo, Rory and a little bit of Gilda, and then Bilbo and Dalin.

I wonder what kind of cattle they have in the shire: big sized or small sized? Hobbits prefer ponies, because they are more fitting to their own size than horses. Likewise, they might prefer small breeds of cattle, because they are more easy to handle. Maybe like Hinterwälder cattle.
At the tweens table:
One of those hobbitish details I love: One moment they are seriously fighting about position - but once the meal is served, they concentrate wholly on eating.
Frodo, Sara, Esmie:
I was glad to see the you did not delete Sara's and Frodo's bargain concerning Esmie. It sheds a light on both their characters, Frodo being protective towards those he loves and wiling to suffer before he lets harm come to them (a glimpse of the future, again), and Sara ruthlessly exploiting Frodo's virtues as well as his weaknesses.
This bargain is an unguarded backdoor for Frodo, because it is likely to undermine his will to resist Sara.
First glimpse on Tom, from Frodo's pov:
Frodo has a crush on him, but I do not trust him at all. His behaviour towards Frodo reminds me of the relation of a pimp towards a whore. Not conscious and calculated, but still. I wonder if he sees sweets and horsehair ring as gifts or apologies, as Frodo interprets them, or rather as payment. Clearly he does not hesitate to use Frodo for his own end, which is to gain a better position in Bargo's group.
I think he has enough real feelings for Frodo to make himself convincing - and thus he is the more dangerous.

The tweens were fun to write. It was also important to show an environment where Frodo was on more equal footing with the others. One complaint I have about a number of otherwise very good young Frodo fics is that he does not interact with hobbits his own age - only with elders (Bilbo) and young children (Sam). The dynamic is clearly different. He is not cowed by Bargo, though he is wary of Bargo's ability to beat him up. Part of what I wanted to present was the ways in which Frodo is not simply a helpless victim of older bullies. He gives as good as he gets, he isn't afraid of taking on the older tweens, and he's more likely to try to confront rather than to submit. Had he stayed in Buckland, my belief is that Frodo would have turned the tables on Bargo within a year, with Ula's help.
Sara. Sigh. I kept trying to not make him such a bastard, but the character would not cooperate. Frodo's compassion is clear, but his judgment needs work. Bilbo is teaching him that.
Tom as a character changed the most over the course of the story, more than any other. He went from being one of Bargo's nasties to being a true sweetheart to being something more complicated. I think his original feelings for Frodo were affectionate, though opportunistic. He has bigger plans than just Bargo's group. Frodo's compassion, as well as his desire to be loved and not used, gets him in a lot of trouble with Tom. He sees in Tom someone else who is picked on and who needs protecting. His defense of Tom is, in a way, a denial of his own vulnerability. It gets even more complicated a few chapters along.

I could easily see cattle like that being bred for short-polled and shorter-coated traits, (Highland cattle are said to be closer related to musk-oxen than other breeds of cows)-- these being more suitable for barn-keeping and the more moderate climate of the Shire.

Where I grew up in Washington state, there was a local farmer who had a small herd of Highlanders (along with his usual dairy herd). They are *beautiful* cattle, and indeed have a very musk-ox look to their faces. If you ignore the huge spread of horns the bulls sport. They did very well in the NW climate, which is much like the British Isles, though perhaps not quite so cold in the winter.
I think I will provide the Northfarthing with a herd of these in the next story. They would be an excellent addition.

I recommend Hinterwaelder from the Black Forest. They are an old breed, extremely rare nowadays, and have not changed much since the Middle ages. They are very small - the smallest breed in Europe - , and unlike Highland cattle they were traditionally used for dairy and work. Their more "civilised" look compared to Highland cattle is well suited for the Shire, a very civilised country.
I could not find a picture with a person and a cow to show how small they really are, but they are about Shetland- or Welshpony height.

Now I think that there will be a few different kinds of cattle in the Shire - all on display at the Free Fair on Lithe. The Hinterwaelder will *definitely* be represented! :-)

For some kid-verisimilitude, I can tell you that there are two reasons why Highland Cattle are big hits with the smaller set at fairs. The first is the reason they're popular with everyone -- they're cute as fuzzy caterpillars. The second always brings delighted grossouts from children: like giraffes, they can and often do clean their nostrils with their long and nearly-prehensile tongues. "I wish *I* could do that," -- "I'm glad you can't" is a child-parent exchange I've overheard at the Games.

The Hinterwaelder -type will be popular among folks who live in the wooded regions of the Shire, such as the Woody End and west Marish. The Highland-type will be found in the relatively barren lands up in the northern reaches of Northfarthing. A Jersey-type will be a popular milch cow throughout the central Shire, while a heavy, black cow, similar to a Kerry, will be used as beef animals in the central Eastfarthing and the grasslands of Southfarthing. I'm looking for a swamp cow to be found near marshy areas. There's native Bornean wild cattle that would fit the bill quite well.
I also think that Hobbits will have many different types of sheep and goats, and will be a holdover from their nomadic days - sheep and goats being good flocks to travel with. The Stoors in particular are going to like goats, having been most recently nomadic, and having to take lands where the browsing and grazing may not be that good. Fallohides are horse people, I get the feeling, and the Harfoots are more likely to have cows and sheep. Which is why you find cattle and sheep in the longer settled regions of the Shire. Oh, don't get me going...

If however you see it as an idea that fits no longer into the story as a whole (which I think is what happened) , why not take it out entirely?

At this point in the story I was absolutely convinced that Wintermark was going to be a Great Rite -- a sex-magick ritual centered on Rory and Gilda. It turns out to be a little less than that, but still a fertility ritual. It's interesting that Bilbo reflects on how Wintermark used to be celebrated all over the Shire, but now remains as ritual only in Buckland, and that this is seen as Not Respectable by the remainder of the Shire. Reminds me of the way Halloween has changed over the course of my own lifetime...
