A Public Appeal to the CR4 Gods
2008-06-08 00:30:00 I changed my avatar (yet again) and noticed that CR4 wouldn't scale my new avatar (originally 800x800 pixels) any larger than 80x80 pixels. Curiously, however, the avatar appearing in RCE's posts has a 100x100-pixel format. How'd he do that? Does CR4 have a hidden 'God Mode' that one can enter

Dodgers' Kemp will appeal four-game suspension
2008-06-06 14:38:00 Matt Kemp appealed a four-game suspension he received from the commissioner's office Thursday, making him eligible to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup until the case is resolved. He started in center field Thursday night. Kemp was suspended and fined an undisclosed amount for his altercation with Colorado Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba on Tuesday night. Kemp drew a suspension that was one day longer than Torrealba's, as Bob Watson, baseball's vice president of on-field operations, blamed him for "fighting and inciting the bench-clearing incident," in a statement released by baseball. "I guess I feel it was as much his fault as it was my fault," Kemp said. "I don't feel I should get more. That's why I'm appealing."The appeal was filed by Kemp's agent, Dave Stewart, through the players' union. If Kemp and the commissioner's office fail to agree on a penalty, a hearing will be held to settle the case. The case would be heard by John McHale Jr., baseball's executi...

Fired Apprentice Has More Sex Appeal
2008-06-02 23:00:00 Fired Apprentice candidate Michael Sophocles has claimed that he has increased sex appeal as a result of his appearance on the programme.Though he was one of the most controversial contestants of the series, the 25-year-old telesales executive has received more than his fair share of female attention in recent weeks."I'm a sex addict. I just love women," Michael told the News of the World. "I've slept with over 70 but I've only had two girlfriends, and I haven't been in love. When I'm with someone I always see other women who I want to sleep with."It's great - I can now just go up to someone and not have to make any small-talk. They'll just jump into bed with me."Sophocles also confirmed reports that he worked as a male escort while studying at Edinburgh University. He turned to the occupation after running up gambling debts."I was looking through a dirty magazine in bed and I saw ads for escort agencies. I called one and they wanted a 100 joining fee," Michael explained. "I...

Supco Appeal Refusals, Revisited
2008-06-02 19:26:00 The Associated Press explores the implications from the state Supreme Court's unanimous decisions last month rejecting appeals requests. One stemmed from a high profile coal-contract dispute involving Massey Energy, the other from a fight over natural gas royalties that resulted in a record-high jury award."Parties on both sides of those debates question whether either case fits neatly into the narrative that casts the Mountain State as hostile to business and prone to award 'jackpot' jury awards," AP reports. "So does the author of an upcoming West Virginia Law Review article that examines the continuing push to label the state a 'judicial hellhole.'"But AP also relays views that "what the court's decisions may instead reveal is a potential gap in the state's judicial system, created by the absence of an intermediate appeals court and the absolute discretion wielded by its Supreme Court when considering which cases to hear."Update: An official from Chesapeake Energy, hit by ...

Appeal Refused in Record Verdict Gas Royalty Case
2008-05-23 17:08:00 In an active day for the justices, West Virginia's Supreme Court has let stand a nearly $405 million verdict awarded in a Roane County class-action lawsuit, MetroNews reports.In what may be a record verdict for the state, the judgment involves around 8,000 plaintiffs who sued over natural gas royalty payments. Punitive damages account for two-thirds of the verdict.The defendants include NiSource. "President and CEO Robert C. Skaggs, Jr. said the company is surprised and disappointed with the West Virginia Court's decision not to hear its appeal," MetroNews reported."The Court's decision to not even address the substance of an appeal in a case of this significance, particularly in light of the $270 million in punitive damages awarded at the trial court level, is unprecedented and contrary to the most basic principles of fairness. We firmly believe in the merits of our position and will continue to vigorously pursue our arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court," he said in a statement.
LaTroy Hawkins to Appeal Suspension & My Problem With The Unwritten Rules o
2008-05-23 02:05:00 I have a problem with the unwritten rules of baseball, but I have an issue with a guy who cannot take his punishment as a professional.LaTroy Hawkins has really pissed me off.From the AP: New York Yankees reliever LaTroy Hawkins was suspended for three games and fined $2,000 by Major League Baseball today for intentionally throwing at the Orioles' Luke Scott.Hawkins, who pitched for the Orioles in 2006, has appealed and the suspension is delayed until a decision is reached. The suspension had been set to begin today, when the Yankees host the Orioles in the final game of a three-game series.And of course, like a good manager, Yankee skipper Joe Girardi tries his best to explain why his player should not be suspended."I was a little bit surprised" that Hawkins drew a three-game penalty, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Guys have been throwing inside for a long time. I think you're trying to set a precedent where no one gets hurt badly."Whatever, Joe.Look, I understand the logic o...

Don't be afraid to file a property tax appeal
2008-05-20 03:58:00 Property taxes seem to jump up year after year. Unfortunately, we've become so accustomed to rising taxes that it's no longer a surprise. But here's something that may surprise you. Did you know that over the last eight years, property taxes have actually outpaced even inflation? Those rising taxes - combined with the recent plateau in home values in some areas - mean you may be paying more than your fair share. In fact, the National Taxpayers Union estimated that as many as 60% of home values were assessed too high, resulting in an incorrectly larger property tax bill. Based on recent market activity and the rising property taxes across the country, there's a chance you may be in the group of people paying too much. In fact, homeowners in declining markets are receiving solicitations from companies that charge up to $250 to help lower property taxes. But with the steps below, you can work with your local County Assessor to lower property...

Singapore Temasek to appeal Jakarta court ruling
2008-05-10 00:28:00 Singapore Temasek to appeal Jakarta court ruling Singapore entities, told to divest telco stakes, may go to Supreme Court now (JAKARTA) An Indonesian court yesterday rejected an appeal by Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s state- owned investment company, and its affiliates against a ruling that it had breached the country’s anti-monopoly laws. The Central Jakarta District Court upheld a ruling last November by state competition watchdog KPPU ordering Temasek and its affiliates to divest their stake in one of the two largest Indonesian telecom operators. It also shortened the deadline for divestment to 12 months, from the two-year deadline set by KPPU. Temasek has an indirect stake in PT Telkomsel through SingTel, which owns 35 per cent of the telco. Separately, Temasek’s wholly-owned subsidiary ST Telemedia holds a 40 per cent stake in Indosat, the second-largest telco, through its subsidiary Asia Mobile Holdings. Temasek said it was ‘deeply disappointed’ w...

The three-member Central Jakarta District Court ordered Temasek and its affiliates to sell their stakes in one of their two Indonesian telecoms units.

Managing director of strategic relations Goh Yong Siang said in a statement: ‘The facts are Temasek has no shares in Indosat and Telkomsel, and plays no role in their business decisions and operations. ‘Telkomsel, in particular, is m...

TX4E electric taxi will only appeal to some London cabbies
2008-05-09 01:03:00 Whether the new TX4E electric cab is right for your favorite London cab driver just might have a lot to do with where that driver lives. According to a story in the South China Morning Post (can only find a Lexis Nexis link that probably won't work), the upcoming all-electric black cab made by London Taxis International, part of Manganese Bronze, has one major drawback: a 100-mile range. "Hey," you might be saying to yourself, "an EV with that sort of range would be perfect for me." And that might be the case. But for London cab drivers who live outside the city - and therefore need to commute 40 or so miles a day from home to downtown - the TX4E just isn't going to cut it.The general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, Bob Oddy, told the Post that only about 40 percent of London cabbies will be able to be able work a full eight-hour shift on a 100-mile charge. A company spokesperson defended the cab and said that drivers will be able to get a one-hour "quick cha...
