Ranka Stojanovic found refuge in a forest when she escaped war- torn Bosnia in 1992. Today, she stocks shelves at a Walmart and attends classes to improve her English. It was in class that Ranka's dream met democracy, when she asked a visiting speaker for help getting her married daughter and family to emigrate from Serbia.
Group questions Poliquin's use of tax break The administration official's land in Georgetown may not be following the letter of the law, a political group suggests.
Life is full of major and minor outrages, and last week, I heard about one of the latter. It involves Joyce Crouch, 65, of Salem and a $25 parking ticket she got in Roanoke on Wednesday.
The Homeland Security Department has been directed to reassess how it paid for shared services in 2006 to support the now defunct Preparedness Directorate after a Government Accountability Office review found that the directorate did not follow guidelines and might have violated the Antideficiency Act. In a letter to GAO, Homeland Security said it relied on the principles of the Economy Act to allocate the cost of shared services across various appropriations under the Preparedness Directorate's control. But DHS did not properly justify, record or report pooling transactions, according to the report. GAO directed DHS to adjust its fiscal 2006 accounts so the value of all services received is deducted from the proper places.
The concept of negotiation in letter of credit practice and law has evolved from being an appendage of the law of negotiable instruments to an independent discipline that often alters basic assumptions of negotiable instruments law. From playing a central role in the letter of credit process, the draft or bill of exchange has become incidental and atrophied. Indeed, with respect to banks nominated in the letter of credit to "negotiate," negotiation can occur without there being a draft or bill of exchange. Nonetheless, negotiation, as used in letters of credit, is an important aspect of letter of credit practice, enabling it to serve as a means of trade facilitation and finance. The latest revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, UCP600, reflects the currenc...
With many firms making lasting cuts to their associates programs, the value of clerkships with judges may go up, [Allen A. Etish] said. Those clerkships have "become very, very competitive," he said, attracting students who would have been aiming to be associates at big firms in the past "That may change the practice of law dramatically. THE SAYING GOES that law is recession-proof, but many firms are discarding longstanding hiring practices and reviewing how to adjust to a landscape that will be different once the economy recovers. From large firms that are ending large classes of summer associates to small firms that are boosting their marketing budgets, law firms across New Jersey have been responding to the recession in ways that will leave a permanent mark.
When King Solomon ruled that a baby should be cut in half, he knew the true mother would reveal herself by conceding to the other woman. City officials in Belfast face a less dramatic dilemma, but one just as nettlesome. The nonprofit organization that purchased the former high school has failed to pay its sewer bill; the municipality's lien against the $3.5 million property for this $700 debt has matured, meaning the city can foreclose on it. This valuable asset can't be cut in half; either the city will own it or the nonprofit will regain it. Both outcomes are fraught with undesirable consequences.
Don't try to tell Salem's Bob Archer about the wonders of red- light cameras. Or about how safe they make intersections.
Did Fairfax School Board members violate the state's open meeting law when they exchanged hundreds of emails before a controversial vote on whether to close an elementary school? Justices with the Virginia Supreme Court, who are considering a legal challenge to that decision, are expected to reach a conclusion based at least in part on the number and timing of the messages. The justices ruled in a 2004 case that emails among Fredericksburg City Council members at intervals ranging from four hours to two days were not "virtual simultaneous interaction" and thus did not constitute an illegal meeting. In contrast, the current court case arises from a blizzard of emails, some of them just two minutes apart.
