A scene painted from a photograph of a stream in whitewater canyon in Palm Springs, using pastels, acrylic and pencils.
Born in Los Angeles in 1955, Jagger spent much of his time in the Palm Springs area where his father was employed by Frank Sinatra. The Southern California outdoor life-style and the glamour of the entertainment world helped shape the artist's perspective. He managed to combine his dual goals of living close to the land and entertaining people in his ideal career as an artist. Jaggers paintings are a blend of fact and fantasy. He begins with what he knows best - the California Desert - and transforms that raw material into novel images that amaze and delight. His meticulous technique details every rock and pebble, cactus thorn and palm frond, giving it an intense presence. This hyper-realism makes the images seem uncanny, too...

Mont. deputy killed directing traffic
Pat Pyette, 54, was "a fine man," sheriff said
By PoliceOne Staff
HAVRE, Mont. — A deputy died after a vehicle struck him on a highway in Blaine County.
Pat Pyette, 54, was outside his vehicle directing traffic at a scene involving a disabled driver, according to the Great Falls Tribune. A press release stated that a vehicle passing through the scene struck Pyette. It appeared the driver did not see him in the road.
The sheriff called Pyette "a fine man, willing to do anything for anybody," The Republic reported. "He was dedicated to our community and the people he served."

A better way to have Fed Fighters.
I think a better way to represent Fed fighters is to have them fly CAP arround your ship. Make the squadron behave like the new vulcan ship's little supprt craft, it hangs arround your ship (or maybe an ally's you designate) and defend it by shooting down mines, incoming enemy fighters, heavy torpedoes, and engaging enemy ships that get too close, but always staying arround the ship they're escorting and not flying off chasing something.
I think limiting such fighter squadrons to one per ship would be fairly reasonble. Make it obtainable as a rear weapon slot or as a console (sci would be my guess). The console would allow for Photonic Fighters and would calm down anyone that feels Escorts should not get fighters (an arbitrary p.o.v. since Star Trek follows so few realism guidelines anyway, why not let escorts in on the fun?).

The 2012 Valley Partnership Roundtable discusses the need to engage and monitor federal issues impacting the development community, which is greater than ever.
Every real estate development company actively manages issues such as water quality, dust control and industry taxation/regulation at the city and state level. However, we must be more vigilant in watching the impact of federal regulation on the real estate industry. Decisions made by the federal agencies and our Congressional delegation have a long-term impact on our businesses.
As a sector, we have a responsibility to advocate for fair and pragmatic regulation that allows the industry to be nimble and grow responsibly. Federal regulation and oversight have expanded over the past few years and some of these expansions in oversight could negatively impact Arizona businesses. Arizona's climate, employment bases and natural resources pose unique challenges on the federal level, and we must ensure that our delegation is prepared to fight for our state's future.
As it celebrates its 25th anniversary, Valley Partnership, in conjunction with AZRE magazine, convened a virtual roundtable discussion on the need to engage and monitor federal and state issues that impact the development community. They include:
- Expansion of the Clean Water Act;
- Business taxes/workforce training credits/research and development tax credits
- Military installations, including Luke Air Force Base;
- Solar incentives;
- Aerospace/defense industry, research.
Participants are members of Valley Partnership's federal and legislative committees, including: Rob Anderson (RA), Fennemore Craig; Paul Hickman (PH), Arizona Bankers Association; Charley Freericks (CF), DMB Associates, Inc.; Rusty Mitchell (RM), Luke AFB; Mary Peters (MP), consultant, former secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation; Grady Gammage JR. (GG), Gammage & Burnham; and Michelle de Blasi (MD), Quarles & Brady.
– Karrin Taylor, DMB Associates Inc.
Q: The federal government's growing regulation of water, environment issues and endangered species has an immediate effect on private property owners and at the state and local levels. In the Western U.S., there can be tremendous unintended consequences to these one-size-fits-all regulations promulgated in Washington. What are the risks and/or potential impacts for the development community?
GG: There are huge risks for Arizona development in ignoring federal issues. We tend to either rail at the Feds, or just hope they'll go away. The truth is, neither attitude is useful. We need our federal representatives to vigorously engage in explaining things that seem obvious to us: like dry desert washes not being navigable, or the fact that Arizona tends to be dusty. But we need to recognize that there is an appropriate federal role in environmental regulation, rather than behave as though the EPA will go away.
RA: The risks for the development community are three-fold: Increased compliance costs; increased uncertainties associated with securing federal approval (Well will I get my permit? What will my project look like when I do?); and the possibility that the federal requirements will actually block you from developing at all. The first two risks are fairly pervasive in the development world already. The third risk is relatively rare but increasing, particularly in the area of endangered species where there is tremendous pressure to list more species and protect more habitats. We also may see more of this as the first two risks grow and become unmanageable. For example, if I do not know when I can get my permit, and do not know what my project will look like at the end of the permitting process, how can I get financing or raise capital to do the project at all?
Q: What can we (leaders in real estate) do to influence federal regulation and legislation?
MD: Consistency and certainty in policy is crucial to develop and sustain any industry. It is difficult to have certainty without having an energy policy in place. Some immediate initiatives that could provide certainty in the energy industry are: Build out/improve access to transmission; remove redundancy/inefficiencies in permitting; expand production-based incentives; and provide better/quicker access to federal land for project development.
GG: The real estate industry needs to come together with workable solutions on things like dust control of construction, and standards for developing in the desert that recognize circumstances where washes should be preserved or mass grading minimized. Constructive engagement means offering sensible alternatives for some federal involvement, that is climate and geography appropriate for the arid West. There's a lot of of serious expertise in Arizona in dealing with these issues. The development industry will find that Arizona's cities are valuable allies in understanding the nature of development here, and why it is different from many other parts of the country.
RA: Follow regulatory developments through agencies of concern (EPA, the Corps of Engineers) and follow legislation through Congress. Do not hesitate to contact your congressman or congresswoman on issues of concern. Be active in trade associations that lobby in Washington D.C.
CF: Real estate industry leaders and everyone in the community have many options for supporting Luke and the effort to secure the F-35 mission. First, participate in the Luke Forward campaign by registering your support (lukeforward.com), submit a letter from your company or community support organization, and spread the word by sending the link for Luke Forward to your colleagues and friends Second, participate in the upcoming public hearings for the F-35 mission Environmental Impact Study (EIS) process. Dates, times and locations will be posted on the website to visibly show your support to the community and government representatives. Finally, write or email your local, state and federal elected officials and state your support for the F-35 mission.
PH: Stay engaged. Coordinate multiple visit to members of Congress and agency officials. Be active on responding to requests for comments on proposed regultions. Create "echo chambers" on issues of vital importance to our state.
Our western state is rich in space, most of which is managed by some form of government (Fed/state/military/tribal). This requires our real estate development industry to engage in public/private partnerships. Our only alternative is not to grow our economy.
Q: There has been significant scrutiny on federal and state incentives of certain industries recently. How do you think those incentives have impacted the Arizona job and real estate markets? Are the incentives needed to jump-start an industry and spur growth? Are they worth the risks?
MP: I am generally opposed to public-funded incentives that tend to distort the market. If a determination is made that public interest is best served by advancing an issue, the better way to proceed is to focus on the desired outcome rather than a specific technology. In terms of developing alternative fuels for vehicles, for example, the outcome might be to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Current policy provides public subsidies as an incentive to produce ethanol, and the subsidies are provided largely to mid-west, corn producing states. The process used by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that encourages competition toward an outcome-based goal is far better than offering specific incentives. Arizona businesses and entrepreneurs could be very competitive in a DARPA-like competition resulting in more Arizona jobs and real estate development.
MD: Incentives are necessary to help spur growth and develop infrastructure that benefits society as a whole, but should be implemented in such a way that they reward success. The incentive provides the carrot, but should not provide the fuel as was the case with Solyndra. Incentives provide the necessary framework to foster economic development — job creation. Just as Arizona was feeling the effects of a downturn in the real estate market, the incentives available to the renewable energy industry helped spur the grow of a burgeoning industry for Arizona. As more projects have come to fruition, the economy has felt the impacts through the transitioning of jobs and the influx of investment in renewable generation and manufacturing. However, as an industry and state, one needs to be careful not to incentivize an industry that will not survive into the future without incentives.
Q: The debate around "earmarks" and "pork" projects continues at the federal level. Some of Arizona's federal delegation have earned national reputations for their stand against earmarks. What are the benefits or the losses to Arizona on this issue? Should Arizona's federal delegation work to bring federal dollars back to our community? What kinds of projects does Arizona need?
MP: When members of Congress designate special projects as part of authorizing or appropriation bills powerful committee chairs are able to direct disproportionate amounts of funding to their district or state regardless of the merits of the project. The so-called "Bride to Nowhere" in the 2005 Highway Bill is a prime example. I think, on the whole, Arizona and other states lose in this process, and our delegation is right to take a stand against earmarks. A better way is for Congress to give the states their proportionate share of funding, and let state and local officials working with our Congressional Delegation decide how and where the funds should be spent. Arizona could then use those funds to build transportation in infrastructure to support high-growth areas, such as the north-sout corridor in Pinal County.
GG: We couldn't live in Central Arizona without federal projects. Both SRP and CAP are examples of using the Treasury of the Unites States to make it possible to live in the arid West. Sky Harbor Airport and the interstate highway system are other examples. We should not oppose the use of federal dollars for these kinds of purposes. The evil of "earmarks" is when ad hoc projects (I think "Bride to Nowhere") are slipped into unrelated bills without any debate or being part of a comprehensive program. Our senators and congressmen shouldn't oppose the use of federal funds for worthy projects in Arizona. They should oppose a process that disguises federal spending, that doesn't invite public scrutiny, or that trades frivolous projects in one district for similar boondoggles elsewhere.
PH: We expect our members of Congress to fight for parochial projects that make sense. What some members of our congressional delegation object to — properly in my view — is skirting the competitive process to do that. The losses incurred by the practice of earmarking redound to us as federal taxpayers, not necessarily Arizonans. When we engage in it we may win projects for our state, but as federal taxpayers we probably paid too much inferior projects or products.
We should be working with out congressional delegation as well as the applicable federal agencies to get out projects included into the agency budgets, authorized by the congressional authorization committees and approved by the members of the appropriations committees. We also need to partner with the global growth sectors of our economy: healthcare, energy, aerospace, and high-tech manufacturing. If this crash of 2008 has taught us anything it is that the residential housing industry can't drive an economy by itself. It has to have other sectors to support or it collapses.
Q: The Arizona Commerce Authority and local economic development groups such as GPEC have prioritized a number of industries for expansion and growth. Aerospace/defense, technology and the solar industry seem to be major opportunities for Arizona's future. What role should leaders of the real estate development industry play at the federal level in working to support these business expansion efforts?
MP: The ACA has defined aerospace/defense, solar/renewable energy, science and technology, and Arizona innovation-small businesses and entrepreneurs as our four focus areas. The areas provide the biggest opportunity to attract and retain high paying jobs and sustainable economic development for our state. The real estate development community can help support these focus areas by working together with organizations like ACA and GPEC to let out congressional delegation know when we are competing for federal funds and programs. An example is the funding now available under the Defense Appropriations Act in which the FAA will select sites for testing UAVs. The real estate development community can also assist in redeveloping areas such as the Williams Gateway and in ensuring that growth complements, but does not encroach on, our current military installations such as Luke AFB.
MD: The message has to be clear and provide certainty for foster meaningful industry growth. For the energy sector, the growth plan needs to be inclusive of a portfolio of energy resources. The support for renewable energy at the federal level needs to be based on a broad array of goals: jobs, diversity of energy sources, national security and economic development. The industry leaders should be advocating for production-based or back-end incentives where there are metrics requiring a certain level of project development to better ensure the long-term success of the industry.
Q: Arizona has long enjoyed the benefits of having major military installations, such as Luke Air Force Base, as part of our economic base. These installations create and sustain thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic impact. What are the potential risks and rewards with selection of Arizona for the F-35 mission?
CF: The rewards are numerous — thousands of highly trained, educated and well-paid employees continue to thrive in the West Valley; billions of dollars in annual economic impact continue to flow into Arizona's economy; and the community around Luke is bolstered by the consumption of goods and services from this amazing economic engine and the positive community contributions from the people of Luke. The mission for this advanced aircraft will sustain Luke for decades to come.
The risks as minimal, but important to keep in context. The military is subject to the ebbs and flows of federal military investment and resting after securing the F-35 mission would be a critical error. The state, especially those communities closest to Luke, have grown accustomed to, even dependent on, having Luke as a major employer and economic driver. As the West Valley continues to grow and evolve, it is critical to keep the economic development focus on highly-educated, high-income employment and to continue diversifying the number and types of industries represented. The risk of reductions in Luke's mission are always a factor to be considered; and, the best solution will be a strong and diverse regional economy.
RM: If Luke AFB is selected as the second PTC, it is conceivable that it would remain a valuable national asset and an incomparable economic engine for decades to come.
The most recent study (commissioned by the state of Arizona) of Luke's economic impact was approximately $2.17B. However, beyond the pure dollars involved, the men and women of Luke AFB are significant contributors to the surrounding community as school and church leaders, business participants as well as stable homeowners for the community. These men and women should be viewed not only as part of the economic engine, but equally as important, quality community participants and leaders.

Exempt Employees Versus Nonexempt Employees
Classifying employees as exempt or nonexempt might seem easy at first glance. Either they are salaried or they are hourly. Accordingly, they either are eligible to earn overtime for hours worked or they are not.
But it's not that simple. Nor are the penalties a business can face. Complaints can be made against a business up to two years after an alleged misclassification and resulting lost wages.
Compliance is Key
Such allegations can prove costly, especially if tension in the workplace escalates between the accuser and the business to the level of what could be considered discrimination or harassment. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor Website's compliance section states:
"It is a violation to fire or in any other manner discriminate against an employee for filing a complaint or for participating in a legal proceeding under the FLSA.
"Willful violations may be prosecuted criminally and the violator fined up to $10,000. A second conviction may result in imprisonment."
In addition, any employer found to have willfully violated employee rights, whether exempt or nonexempt from the guidelines outlined in the FLSA, "may be prosecuted criminally and fined up to $10,000," DOL documents state. "A second conviction may result in imprisonment. Employers who willfully or repeatedly violate the minimum wage or overtime pay requirements are subject to civil money penalties of up to $1,100 per violation."
When Wage and Hour investigators uncover violations, the DOL will often work with that employers to help them become compliant. In addition, they will be required to pay any back wages that may be due to employees.
Two-Part Test
So what is the standard by which an exempt and nonexempt employee can be measured, and what rules apply to each classification? To be considered exempt, a salaried employee must meet specific salary and duty requirements.
An employee, who is salaried who earns less than $455 per week would be nonexempt and therefore eligible for overtime and other protections under the FLSA. An exempt employee would not be eligible for overtime, but with limited exceptions, must receive their full salary for any week during which they work, Compensation Management News reports. For more information, visit Compensation.BLR.com.
The second portion of the test relates to the duties an employee performs, their job category such as administrative, computer specialists, outside sales and more. For specific exemptions, see the accompanying chart or visit the DOL Website. In some cases, as with computer specialists, otherwise exempt employees may be paid hourly instead as long as they earn $27.63 or more per hour.
Managing Expectations
In Arizona, there is no legal definition for exempt and nonexempt employees. Everybody is entitled to a minimum wage. However, Arizona does have its own unique minimum wage law. Arizona's minimum wage is $7.35 per hour and federal minimum wage is $7.25.
While exempt employees are generally not eligible for overtime, they reap other benefits.
"If a person works part of a day and then leaves, you cannot dock them if they are exempt," explained John Balitis, an employment and labor attorney with Fennemore Craig. "The caveat is that you can dock a salaried, exempt employee's leave days, so long as it does not result in a loss of compensation during the pay period in which the docking occurs. So, the docking rule for partial day absences is different, depending on whether you are talking about pay or leave."
Paul W. Barada, a salary and negotiation expert for Monster, agrees. "Exempt employees are generally expected to devote the number of hours necessary to complete their respective tasks, regardless of whether that requires 35 hours per week or 55 hours per week. Their compensation doesn't change based on actual hours expended. Exempt employees aren't paid extra for putting in more than 40 hours per week; they're paid for getting the job done," Barada wrote in a career advice article published on Monster.com.
If not hours, what then, constitutes an exempt employee's fulfillment of having completed a day's work?
"This is an interesting issue that judges and lawyers are talking about, but there is no clear answer," Balitis said. "Given the proliferation of smart phones and employees checking their email, voice mail and texts while they are at home or in the car on the way to work, there is case law that says that becomes compensable time—so the day has started and exempt/salaried employees have to be paid."
Balitis said employers, regardless of size, would be well-advised to to purchase a multi-law comprehensive poster for the workplace. If purchased as a subscription from a service, he said, companies generally send updated posters when any of the requirements change.
Commonly Used Exemptions
Commissioned sales employees of retail or service establishments are exempt from overtime if more than half of the employee's earnings come from commissions and the employee averages at least one and one-half times the minimum wage for each hour worked. You may also wish to review the applicable regulation.

Centennial Series: Fennemore Craig Continues Legal Legacy
Fennemore Craig, founded in 1885, has helped shape the legal landscape of Arizona and its economy for more than a century. Founded more than a quarter-century before Arizona attained statehood, the firm has both helped the state grow and grown within the state.
What started as a frontier town law office has grown to more than 180 attorneys concentrated in Phoenix, Tucson, Denver, Las Vegas, and Nogales, with 440 total employees firm-wide. In the beginning, it was known as Sloan & Chalmers at what is now First Avenue and Washington Street in Phoenix. Even then, long before moving into swanky downtown offices, the law firm was contributing to the quality of life for Arizonans.
A Fennemore Craig spokesperson identified some significant milestones from the past 100 years:
1. In 1910, Edward Kent, who served on the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court and later became a firm partner, authored the Kent's Decree. It established and governed water rights in Arizona for decades. The decree is still referred to today. The firm also authored the Arizona Workmen's Compensation Act and Arizona Sales Tax Act in 1912.
2. In 1927, the firm helped organize the State Bar.
3. From 1954-1962, Fennemore Craig partner Cal Udall was a member of the legal team that represented Arizona in its battle with California for control of Colorado River water. Fennemore Craig's efforts here spurred development of Arizona's major cities.
4. The Arizona Groundwater Management Act. Jim Johnson, a Fennemore Craig water, natural resources and environmental lawyer, was a principal negotiator and draftsman of the 1980 Arizona Groundwater Management Act. As special counsel to the state's newly created Arizona Department of Water Resources, he successfully defended the Act's constitutionality. The Act marked a critical benchmark in Arizona's efforts to manage and preserve its groundwater. It established comprehensive and effective approaches to groundwater management and allocation.
5. Arizona Telecommunications Deregulation, 1995-96. Tim Berg and Theresa Dwyer-Federhar, Fennemore Craig utilities and appellate lawyers, served as Arizona primary outside counsel to US West, the predecessor to Qwest, now CenturyLink, when Congress mandated telecommunications deregulation with the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996. They represented US West, which had commenced working with other communications companies and stakeholders and the Arizona Corporation Commission on telecommunications deregulation issues in 1995. When Congress passed the Telecommunications Deregulation in 1996, a competitive telecommunications framework for residential and business customers emerged in Arizona that provided a regulatory regime for multiple providers, competitive pricing and use of a company's infrastructure by other providers.
6. Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority. Fennemore Craig lawyer Sarah Strunk, who practices in the area of business and finance, served as general counsel (and continues to do so) to the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority in connection with the siting, development, construction, and ongoing operation and maintenance of University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals and an anchor of Glendale's sports complex. The development of University of Phoenix stadium, also home of the Fiesta Bowl and site of Super Bowl XLII, marked a shift in the economic landscape of the West Valley and Arizona sports.

The State's Budget Crisis Is Further Straining The Judiciary System
When talk turns to the state's budget crisis, the discussion almost invariably focuses on the impact funding cuts will have on Arizona's health and education systems. Among the general public, however, little to no thought is given to the effect budget cuts are having on the state's judicial system.
"The state's lack of resources promises to remain a challenge for several years," says Timothy Berg, managing partner at Fennemore Craig. "However, it is important to remember that there are pronounced constitutional, social and economic dangers in rendering the Arizona court system ineffective by undue budget cuts."
According the Arizona Judicial Branch, there were more than 2.6 million filings in Arizona courts in 2010.
"To make matters worse, the total number of persons working full-time in the Arizona judicial system decreased from 9,684 in 2009 to 9,379 in 2010 — a 3.1 percent decrease," says David E. Funkhouser III, an associate at Quarles & Brady. "Thus, an already-strained judiciary is being forced to work more with less."
As it is, the state's judicial system receives just above 1 percent of the general budget, according to Don Bivens and Trish Refo, partners at Snell & Wilmer. Just a few years ago, Bivens says that allocation stood at 2.75 percent, a number still inadequate for the judicial branch's needs.
"Funding state courts is a challenge all across America, as state courts face additional cuts to already inadequate budgets," Refo adds. "Indeed, the situation is of such concern that American Bar Association President Steve Zack has formed a blue ribbon task force … to address the funding crisis in our state courts. State courts cannot fulfill their constitutional mandate to provide justice without adequate resources to do so."
According to Snell & Wilmer, 80 percent of Arizona's funding of the justice system goes to probation services. The remaining 20 percent is allocated across the supreme court, the appellate courts, and partial judicial salaries in local superior courts throughout the state. At least one county, Maricopa, is now shouldering the full burden for superior court salaries.
As Berg points out, cutting funding for the judicial branch will create an ineffective civil court system, which will have serious economic and social consequences on the state.
"Arizona's judiciary is the arbiter of disputes involving government, corporations and individuals," he says. "If businesses and entrepreneurs are unable to have their disputes resolved in a fair and timely manner, it is reasonable to expect that, over time, they will look to locate in other states."
Thomas Irvine, a shareholder at Polsinelli Shughart, contends that the situation with civil cases will
likely become more dire as the court system continues to do more with less.
"Even with the 2012 opening of the new downtown criminal courthouse, we are out of courtrooms," Irvine says. "Management miracles, as accomplished by the superior court in the last decade, cannot — without more — keep up with growth. There will be a need for more judges, staff and courthouses."
In Maricopa County alone, Bivens of Snell & Wilmer says the clerk's office has laid off 182 clerks. As a result, the court system is learning to work smarter.
"That loss of person power has accelerated the change over to electronic filing of court records, which, while causing commotion in the short term, will likely save millions in the future as the courts move from the laborious task of preserving mounds of paper for every court case, to filing and storing all court records digitally," Bivens says.
Still, there's no getting around the fact that funds for the judicial system are growing more and more scarce. To make up for the loss in tax revenue, fees for court filings have increased 44 percent during the last two years, according to Snell & Wilmer. Irvine of Polsinelli Shughart emphasizes that the funding cuts and fee increases are not just a problem for the legal community.
"Arizona business must take the lead in supporting adequate budgets and resources for the courts," he says. "Justice, victims, our community and the low priority of business cases demands that this effort be made. Slowing down the dance of justice is out of the question."

Local Law Firm Enhances Attorney-Client Communication With Red Phone
Fennemore Craig, the oldest and one of the largest law firms in Arizona, has implemented a new way to communicate with its clients. The "Red Phone" is an iPod Touch in a red case that has pre-programmed information linked to a specific case and group of lawyers that translates case-related information between client and attorney.
How does this increase communication? Clients are provided with the iPad or iPod Touches to send delicate attorney/client information through email, camera functions and Skype — a system that allows face-to-face interaction via video and voice communication. When a client needs to talk, a special number programmed into the phone calls all the attorneys linked to the case and one must answer at all times.
The Red Phone has already been assisting families incapacitated with seriously-injured loved ones who may be in a place with no Internet access or office setting with equipment such as a phone, fax machine or computer.
James Goodnow, an associate for Fennemore Craig, believes this new program will impact the practices' relationship with its clients in a tremendous way.
"We want our clients to always have human communication," says Goodnow. "The immediate response time has gotten positive reviews from the clients."
The camera function allows clients to take case-relevant photos and send them immediately to their attorney.
Documents that pertain to the case can be sent with preloaded email addresses directly to the attorneys involved, and clients can review papers sent from the office.
Videos conferences are used to inform parties involved of the evidence retained.
"Instead of reading about our clients, the other lawyers will see them," says Goodnow. "We can also show them how a case will be presented to a jury."
It also allows attorneys to update the patient's condition.
The phone costs nothing to clients. After the case has been resolved and there is no need for communication, the phones are returned to Fennemore.
Everyone with a case at Fennemore is eligible for the phone. iPads are given to those who are less tech savvy and don't have internet access. Everyone else receives an iPod Touch.
The Fennemore Craig Law Firm was founded more than 110 years ago in Phoenix. The firm has over 120 attorneys with offices in Phoenix and Tucson. They are looking out for the best interest of their clients and know the Red Phone will enhance their abilities to do so.

I loved all! My husband and I were surprised at how much we got for the value. We stayed 4 days and loved it. We got a room on the first floor. It had no view and was quite dark but since we were there to relax we preferred it. Our room was a mix of modern and very clean lines with a touch of hacienda with exposed brick and ceiling beams. The floors were real terracotta. We were in walking distance to everything. We old go anywhere pretty much at anytime and things were still open. This added t - Anonymous
The shower worked and there was plenty of hot water, which isn't always a given in Mexico.
The room was clean but worn.
The staff was very pleasant, but clearly overworked.
At normal prices I would have been disappointed..but with your large discount (35% or more) it was a good deal overall.
The breakfast was very good - Anonymous
The hotel was very nice. My room on the 5th floor looked over the pool. The room was a king size room and very spacious. Bed was great, pillows firm. I slept very well all 3 nights. The staff at check in were great and answered my questions later plus called a cab for me. - Anonymous
It's well located and that's a really charming hotel (not a Bestwestern tower without charm). Staff is nice even if they don't all speaks english. Breakfast was so good just in front of the hotel. - Anonymous

digital divide
A term used to describe the discrepancy between people who have access to and the resources to use new information and communication tools, such as the Internet, and people who do not have the resources and access to the technology. The term also describes the discrepancy between those who have the skills, knowledge and abilities to use the technologies and those who do not. The digital divide can exist between those living in rural areas and those living in urban areas, between the educated and uneducated, between economic classes, and on a global scale between more and less industrially developed nations.

Featured Chart
Chart Of The Day For March 30th,2015 – EUR/USD
Talking Points:
- EUR/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.0832, 1.0456, 1.0244
- Resistance:1.1051, 1.1263, 1.1513
The Euro rose as expected against US Dollar after producing a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 1.1051, the March 26 high, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1263. Alternatively, a push below trend line resistance-turned-support at 1.0832 clears the way for a test of the 1.0456-1.0552 area (March 16 low, the 23.6% Fib expansion).
Our long-term outlook envisions Euro weakness. With that in mind, we will treat any on-coming upswing as corrective and look to enter short once signs of a renewed turn lower emerge. In the meantime, we will remain on the sidelines.

Is Doug Manchester's purchase of the U-T and North County Times good for the county of San Diego?
|No opinion
Mariana Says:Thu, Sep 27 2012 09:04 PM
I take great issue with the continual and constant attack laid out by those with or seeking increased power to silence the true journalism that presents facts without any slant.
I don't want a newspaper, news program or website to tell me only what they want me to hear.
I want FACTS. I want facts so that I can form MY OWN opinion. Everyday, our freedoms are diminishing, and I, for one, am fed up. Mr. Manchester, say hello to your "Mama".
David Says:Thu, Sep 27 2012 01:04 PM
Of course media consolidation by multi-millionaires with business interests in San Diego is a good idea!! Our corporations need more positive press and all this objective journalistic integrity is really doing harm to these businesses.
Maybe Manchester can turn a profit and then sell it to Rupert Murdoch and solidify his American Dream as an example to the rest of us.
Jordan hammond Says:Thu, Sep 27 2012 12:35 PM
Cutting journalistic budgets, promoting a culture of half facts and agenda driven articles. It is shameful. Bad journalism sells more papers but derails our ability to have a legitimate and productive conversation and these people really believe they are "patriots".

The hotel and resort brand is inviting guests to collaborate with local Four Seasons experts on Pinterest to help plan upcoming trips.
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts wants to connect with guests on Pinterest when dream vacations are merely sparkles in travelers' eyes.
It is doing so with a Pinterest-based service, Pin.Pack.Go, which launched on August 15. It targets travelers who use the social network to plan trips and connects those guests with Four Seasons' local experts.
Using collaborative boards, participating guests work directly with Four Seasons properties to help plan their stays. The properties contribute both destination- and property-specific pins to boards, as well as concierge advice and travel tips, the brand says. Not only does it help extend Four Seasons' service culture and add value to guests, it also inserts the brand into its guests' conversations.
To participate, guests are encouraged to create a Pin.Pack.Go board and leave a comment on the Pin.Pack.Go pin indicating which Four Seasons they will be visiting. The specified Four Seasons hotel will follow the user on Pinterest. Users must follow back and invite the hotel to pin as a collaborator. The hotel's local experts will then pin recommendations filled with "insider knowledge and hidden gems," the brand says.
"The reason we were inspired to do this is we know a lot of guests are using Pinterest to plan trips," says Felicia Yukich, global social media marketing manager at Four Seasons. "So we're really inserting ourselves into an existing activity."
As of August 21, the Pin.Pack.Go board has 4,200 followers.
Pin.Pack.Go provides an opportunity to engage guests early on in the trip-planning process, making Four Seasons a part of the adventure from the very first pin, the brand says.
"We saw that for a category like travel and food especially there was an opportunity to get involved in the conversation and to engage with passionate fans. You can see trending pins are food and recipes and we have some of the best restaurants around the world, so it's a good fit and we established a brand presence," Yukich says of Pinterest.
Now, 77 of Four Seasons' 91 properties are on Pinterest.
The brand also has a dedicated bridal channel on Pinterest.
Pin.Pack.Go makes Pinterest part of the guest experience and is really "operationalizing Pinterest for us," Yukich says.
According to Yukich, Four Seasons will happily plan a trip with Pinterest users regardless of whether they have a reservation.
She likens it to Twitter.
"If you want advice, we'll give it," she says. "If you think about other channels, if people were to tweet to [Four Seasons New York], 'Is there anything good to do with kids?' Would we say, 'No, let us see your reservation'? We would go out of the way to provide the best recommendations possible."
That also includes aspirational boards for dream trips.
"If they're so passionate about the destination...we will absolutely cater to those people as well. Our primary target is our guests using Pinterest," Yukich says.
All the properties are using their local social media profiles to let guests know about Pin.Pack.Go. The brand is also injecting itself into social conversations to get the word out, she says.
In the first day, 13 boards were created, she says.
As of August 20, domestic properties that have received Pinterest collaboration invitations for Pin.Pack.Go include: Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Beverly Wilshire, Maui, Lanai, New York, Scottsdale, Boston, Palo Alto, Houston, and Austin.
International properties include: Paris, Florence, Chiang Mai, Singapore, Langkawi, London at Park Lane, London at Canary Wharf, Marrakech, Pudong, Mauritius, Costa Rica, Buenos Aires, Bora Bora, Bangkok, Golden Triangle, Koh Samui, Hualalai, Sydney, Nevis, and Lisbon.
As of August 20, some of these properties have received up to five invitations apiece, Yukich adds.

New SoundHealth Podcast Features Dr. Niraj Gusani
As part of National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Niraj Gusani, who heads the Program for Liver, Pancreas and Foregut Tumors at the Cancer Institute, recently participated in a SoundHealth podcast to discuss pancreatic cancer—one of the most dreaded cancer diagnoses. It often proves deadly because it's typically aggressive, yet causes few or no symptoms until the late stages. As with many forms of cancer, there is hope for a cure when it's caught early–and many promising treatments for those with pancreatic cancer in any stage. Listen to the full podcast here.
