Kooks are in the palace. Why the T.V? $30 a year you’ll save – .09 a day. Can they look for better sources of electricity, like nukes?
Energy commission officials said the reason for the proposed new rules is because large Plasma and LCD TVs use a massive amount of energy
The regulations, however, would help a consumer save between $18 and $30 a year on their electricity bill, energy officials said.
Next time, just deliver them back to their owner. That makes a better statement.
As part of the settlement negotiated by retired Judge Harkjoon Paik, Mercurio agreed to pay Shake $6,870.
The agreement ends both civil and criminal actions against Mercurio, owner of Domenico’s on the Wharf. He was charged with petty theft for stealing the pagers, which were used to summon patrons of Shake’s Old Fisherman’s Grotto when their tables were ready.

Democrats are looking to continue a wave of support following the November elections; along with pushing for the Obama federal economic stimulus plan, state Democrats are asking for a backing of a package of ballot measures facing voters in a special election in May. The ballot measures call for a number of changes to California budget policy, following the passage of a belated state budget in February.
“We need to move this state forward we can’t be last in schools, education,” said Shawn Bagley, Central Coast Regional Director. “When I grew up (California) was first in everything–what on earth happened?”
What happened? We sent Sam “the sham” Farr, Babs “checkbouncer” Boxer & Nancy “on a jet plane” Pelosi to Washington. Decades of Democrat control, that’s what happened.
Drug Possession in Salinas nets 8 years in prison.
Felony Drunk Driving and Felony Hit & Run involving death of innocent person in Carmel nets 5 years.
Huh?
There’s always a civil penalty. I hope the DUI gets out of prison, loses his Big Sur house & Range Rover SUV and has to live in a halfway house on Sun Street..
Remind me to never call Richard Rosen for services . .
Judge Tom Wills ruled Thursday that Mercurio’s expectations of privacy did not extend to the ocean floor and that the diver who found the pagers was working for Mercurio’s competitor, Chris Shake, not the police.
Mercurio is charged with one count of petty theft for allegedly tossing Shake’s seating pagers into the bay after luring in customers who were waiting on the wharf for tables in Shake’s restaurant, Old Fisherman’s Grotto.
Mercurio’s attorney, Richard Rosen, argued that Shake had the diver search beneath Domenico’s to pursue a criminal prosecution, violating Mercurio’s Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure.
After two days of hearings on the matter, Wills said Thursday that only one of the dives — a sting operation that turned up no pager — involved the police. And he said Mercurio’s lease made it clear the city had every right to enter the water below the wharf for any reason.
The state Department of Education estimates that by Friday, 26,000 school workers will have received preliminary pink slips, more than twice as many job warnings as were issued last year.
Because of California’s less-than-rosy economic outlook, K-12 schools are trying to absorb more than $8 billion in state funding cuts.
Many, if not most, of the jobs could be saved by June if voters approve a spending package in a special election in May. Federal stimulus money could also help.
Federal Stimulus Money – fancy buzzword for MORE OF MY TAX DOLLARS after more of my tax dollars.
I’d willingly support better wages for California teachers – if they would do their job.
Why do California teachers have the highest wage in the country . . .

Certify and drug test the teachers!
Attorney Richard Rosen. ha ha.
Fisherman’s Wharf restaurateur Sam Mercurio appeared to be in deep water Thursday in the case of his competitor’s missing seating pagers.
Testimony will continue this afternoon, but Judge Tom Wills seemed to indicate Thursday he thought Mercurio’s defense attorney was all washed up in his contention that a diver’s recovery of the pagers from the water beneath Mercurio’s restaurant constituted an illegal warrantless search.<
Shake and Mercurio faced off in a Salinas courtroom Thursday afternoon as prosecutor Mary Tatum fought defense attorney Richard Rosen’s motion to suppress the pagers as evidence because they were illegally seized without a warrant from Mercurio’s leased property.
Hosting companies, sheeshe.
Last time I survived a server migration by a hosting company it lasted over 3 months. That marked the end of doing business with them.
Seems that the current host is moving the servers out of tornado alley and managed to mess up a connection. All is well now, pardon me while I go make a backup.
You are on notice, Hosting Zoom.
It would be more fun to to have a person in a Domenico’s uniform deliver the pagers, but that would take a bit of bravery.
Last fall, according to court documents, Shake began noticing the disappearance of pagers he gives to customers to allow them to wander the wharf while waiting for a table.
Shake, who suspected a competitor was wooing his customers and dumping the devices, hired diver Don Maulhardt to search under the wharf. On two dives, Maulhardt recovered 10 pagers from the harbor’s bottom, allegedly beneath Domenico’s.
Maulhardt in the water beneath Domenico’s when they set up a sting with an undercover officer Nov. 19. That officer posed as a patron with one of the Grotto’s pagers on the wharf. Mercurio allegedly persuaded the officer to dine at his restaurant and took the pager, promising to return it to the Grotto.
Groping. Was this one of those ‘sedation dentistry’ doctors that knock you out for a cleaning?
Defense attorney Michael Rothschild told the six-man, six-woman Yolo County jury that Mark Anderson was treating his female clients for temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. The attorney says the condition affects the muscles of the upper body.
Anderson faces 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for touching a patient’s breasts over her clothing.
