San Jose Escorts: Massive quake brought out the worst — and the best

The sun came up. The radio had gone over to emergency programming. Power was out, so TVs were out, and phones. Isolated Cruzans didn’t even know what hit who.
A disc jockey, reading notes as they were handed to him, filled listeners in as best he could. The grid was down. Highways were severed. Officials were overwhelmed.
Emergency shelters were being set up. Water is cut, here’s where to get water, this cafe is offering free water and coffee. Lois is seeking Lewis. Lewis, meet Lois at the main shelter.
Authorities warned of severe penalties for looting.
The damage went beyond death and destruction; regionally, the earthquake had monkey-wrenched the mechanism of civil order.
Some people panicked. Some looted. Some hoarded. Some profiteered, jacking up bottles of water to $8 and other sorts of gouging. Profiteers. They rank with pimps as the absolute scum of the Earth.

San Jose Escorts: Code Words and Green Dot’s Pandering to Westside Racism

Improving education is not the goal. Privatization is the goal. The targets of school privatization are not supposedly underperforming students and teachers. The target is democracy itself. Private interests are just that – private. Turning public schools over to private interests frustrates even the possibility of democracy. Charter school apologists often claim that greater parental involvement is a hallmark of their model. But to the extent that it is true at all, it’s involvement of a select group of parents, and not open to those of the entire community. Charter schools undermine what is left of community.10
There’s much more to explore on this topic, but for now this will have to suffice. Lest the poverty pimps and privatization pushers try and play the oldest card of colonialism, divide and conquer, check out the latest progressive statement from the Association of Raza Educators regarding charters/vouchers.

Jack Black talks Brutal Legend, slays a demon on Jimmy Kimmel
If you can’t get enough of this Brutal Legend media blitz, here’s a video of Jack Black playing Eddie Riggs on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The way Double Fine and EA are pimping this game reminds me a lot of a Hollywood movie. Actually, I’ve never seen a video game pushed so hard on late night and awards shows.

San Jose Escorts: Five people indicted on murder charges in 2008 killing of Mountain View siblings

Police said the suspects knew Omar Aquino socially, and plotted to rob his house. They said then-15-year-old Fame Thomas lured Aquino to a movie theater, and the other suspects met there to follow him home. Fame Thomas met with her sister Faith in a movie theater bathroom to discuss plans, police said, and the suspects text messaged each other throughout the night to arrange the robbery. The group shot the Aquinos “execution-style,” ransacked the home and stole electronics and other items, police said.
Police arrested six of the suspects in late August and early September, but Kenneth and Faith Thomas fled the state, apparently making stops in Las Vegas, Texas, Florida and Georgia, according to police. After a five-month manhunt that included a segment on “America’s Most Wanted,” police arrested the siblings last December in Los Angeles.
court Thursday, five suspects — Kenneth Thomas, 21; Fame Thomas, 16; Faith Thomas, 18; Michael David Adams, 22; and Eric Williams, 23 — were each charged with two counts of murder under a new grand jury indictment that replaces the original charges.
Kenneth Thomas was also charged with pimping and pandering.

San Jose Strip Clubs: NFL Capsules: Angry Eagles take on struggling Redskins

… In order to privately finance and operate a new stadium, it would have to generate more in-stadium revenue than virtually any team currently existing in the NFL,” Ganis said. “That is a monumental task.”
Without guarantees that the team could bring in that revenue, the NFL would be unlikely to approve a move, Ganis said.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league wants to see a team back in the Los Angeles area under circumstances that make sense for the league and the community hosting a team, but declined to specify what those circumstances are.
He said the league was aware of the environmental exemption’s passage, but wasn’t actively supporting any specific proposals.
Majestic’s proposal for a stadium in Industry, a 12-square-mile maze of warehouses, factories, strip malls and topless bars, has gone farther than any previous efforts to bring pro football back to the nation’s second-biggest market since the Rams and Raiders left in 1994.

San Jose Strip Clubs: Ponder This: Should Insider Trading Be a Crime?

The egalitarian belief behind insider trading prosecutions is that everybody should have exactly the same information, even the folks who haven’t worked a day in their lives to gather that knowledge themselves.
So we encourage CEOs to be shareholders yet make it a criminal act for them to trade based on their own hard-earned experience. Instead, they’re expected to trade their millions of shares only after Joe Six-Pack has been fully briefed, despite the fact that he’s not even a current shareholder of the firm.
Imagine if you knew a brothel or gentleman’s club was going to be built next to your home, perhaps thanks to a local contractor or maintenance man hired to install the stripper poles. If insider trading laws were applied to the real estate market, you would not be permitted to sell your home until news about the bordello had been plastered across the front page of the local paper. Would that be fair?

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Monaco was involved in a sex scandal, but the player denies charges

Argentine tennis player Juan Monaco would be one of those arrested in Stockholm for having requested the service of prostitutes, a fact which is banned in Sweden.
“Although police have admitted that only two players are foreign, it appears that one of them is Latvian Ernests Gulbis, and the other one, yet unknown identity, could be Argentine Juan Monaco or Italian Simone Bolelli” , said the sports daily Marca in its Monday edition.
So far, all confirmed by the organizers of the tournament was that two players were arrested Monday while trying to enter the hotel accompanied by prostitutes.
From Sweden, Monaco strongly denied that he staged scandal: “I never had a problem in my career and I do not have it now. The sports daily Marca mistranslated Joachim Johansson’s blog, which clarified that I was not involved”.

San Jose Adult Entertainment: Message to Wall Street – watch what you say

But the move by prosecutors to start tapping Galleons phones may be an indication that some of the bad guys on Wall Street are finely getting wise to the danger of email and the ability of prosecutors to convict them with their own written words.
For years now, many a broker, analyst or hedge fund manager has been tripped up by private thoughts conveyed in an email that dont jibe with what they were publicly telling investors or clients.
Indeed, former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, before getting laid low by a prostitution scandal, made his political career by rifling through the emails of Wall Street investment firms as state attorney-general. Potentially incriminating emails are some of the strongest evidence federal prosecutors have against two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers currently on trial.

San Jose Strip Clubs: About this author:

p.s. talk about return on equity, aside from corporate lobbying which has the best ROI on the planet, check out one of the allegations against Galleon. For a mere $10,000 payoff to a Moody’s analyst, the SEC alleges Raj and team made
$4 million for insider information on a leveraged buyout of Hilton Hotels. A great investment, indeed…. Gordon G would be proud.
Now of course you know which (ahem) masters of the universe advise on almost all the deals on Wall Street. Surely with the countless people working on these large deals, no information passes from over the Chinese wall (from “deal makers” to “trading arms”) as friends at these firms go out to lunch or to the strip bar. Testosterone heavy males whose only purpose in life is the pursuit of money and power simply would never cross that line, especially after the 4th vodka and tonic. Ahem.
