EEOC says Leona's Pizzeria reneged on settlement deal - Business ...

Women who were sexually harassed while working for Leona?s Pizzeria in Chicago never got their piece of the pie, according to the EEOC. Now the famous chain is being sued to force it to live up to its obligations.

After a group of female Leona?s employees filed hostile work environment complaints with the EEOC, the restaurant company owners agreed to settle in July for $75,000. But Leona?s never paid up, nor did it implement required anti-harassment training, post notice of the settlement and report compliance efforts to the EEOC.

Now the commission has gone back to court to force Leona?s to pay up and comply with the settlement agreement.

Note: If Leona?s can?t offer a compelling excuse for failing to abide by the agreement, it will also be on the hook for additional court costs. Those, plus its own attorneys? fees will no doubt approach the $75,000 it was originally ordered to pay.

Law Firm of Garcia & Phan Settles Another "pre-litigation settlement ...

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

The law firm of Garcia & Phan of Huntington Beach announces another ?pre-litigation settlement? for online trademark/copyright infringement, deceptive advertising, diversion and ?bait and switch? tactics, on behalf of their client CortiSLIM? International, Inc.

Huntington Beach, CA, January 11, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) The law firm of Garcia & Phan of Huntington Beach announces another "pre-litigation ettlement" for online trademark/copyright infringement, deceptive advertising, diversion and 'bait and switch' tactics, on behalf of their client CortiSLIM1-888-708-SLIM (7546) International, Inc.

CortiSLIM?, the well-known dietary supplement brand, spent over $105 million in media and advertising to build its name and brand awareness. "With online advertising at its peak, so much of a company?s valuable copyrighted/trademarked property can be stolen with the click of a mouse. Additionally, as in the cases we have with CortiSLIM?s trademarks, we have seen deceptive internet trademark infringements from companies seeking an unfair advantage by falsely advertising, diverting and utilizing the CortiSLIM trademark in meta-tags. Finally, these unscrupulous companies are also harming the company financially by diverting sales and/or supplying counterfeit CortiSLIM products", says Robert Phan, Esq.

?CortiSLIM, and the law firm of Garcia & Phan, have the philosophy to always attempt an amicable, pre-litigation settlement without Court intervention?, said Robert Phan, Esq. ?When CortiSLIM?s trademarks are infringed, we immediately send the infringers a letter, along with a copy of a draft Complaint with Exhibits, inviting them to contact us directly to discuss an amicable resolution. In 98% of the cases, the infringer?s express an interest in settling the matter immediately. In two cases, the infringers wanted to become authorized distributors and in another matter, we obtained a $207,000 Judgment against the parties, including the domain owners.? Phan concludes.

CSN's Ratto: Hall of Fame voters got it wrong

UPDATE: (11:00 a.m.) For the first time since 1996, the BBWAA did not elect a single player into the Hall of Fame.

***

The hand-wringing and vein-knotting over today?s Hall of Fame inductees ? or lack thereof ? has offered more than the usual amusement with what is already one of American sport?s most spectacular preening opportunities.

In short, we have spent a solid month, and before that months of anticipation, worrying about this day, and the results that could throw baseball into turmoil for years to come.

In shorter shirt, we?ve been acting the collective fool.

Now that None Of The Above won induction into the Hall of Nothing Whatsoever, there has come a continental hailstorm of thought, analysis, hand-wringing and tortured prose and logic about what just happened or didn?t happen or could happen if we?re not all very mindful of responsibilities as voters, and non-voters alike.

[BAGGARLY: Breaking down a ballot -- Barry Bonds & the Hall of Fame]

Navel-gazing, demanding that the process show an internal logic that ? and this is important ? IT HAS NEVER EVER EVER POSSESSED. AND NEVER EVER WILL.

The Hall of Fame is a hot mess, a festival of amorality, inconsistency, illogic, back-scratching, log-rolling, petulance and self-indulgence that the modern methods of information gathering and dissemination have only exacerbated. It is everything it pretends not to be, and by happy accident, it makes the topic all the more fascinating when one person?s logic meshes with another?s to create a map of the Balkans in upstate New York.

First, it is not a place of honor. Oh, it is for some, sure, but as long as the men who instigated, enforced and defended the color line are safely ensconced in the building, the definition of ?honor? is too elastic to be truly soul-warming. And that doesn?t even include the knaves, brutes, thugs and weasels who bent rules and opponents as part of the ?way things were.?

The best you can say is that it is a museum, and museums cover everyone. At least the good ones do, and those voters who pretend at being guardians of the game end up looking like P.R. people.

[GUTIERREZ: More questions than answers on Hall of Fame ballot]

Second, the arguments about who should be in and who shouldn?t have largely revealed much more about the people voting than the people being voted upon. The old stats-nerd vs. old-schooler divide has morphed into the I-want-to-vote-too vs. well-you-can?t, and as a result, a vote for or against Jack Morris has stopped being a vote for or against Jack Morris and become a statement on the mental acuity of the voter.

Yes, it?s what happens when civil debate becomes ?You suck because you suck, and I don?t suck so I have the right to say you do.? It?s not about the candidate, it?s about the voter, and that is so not baseball.

Third, the Steroid Classes have turned people into hyperactive schoolmarms, defending a game?s alleged purity when those who actually work for the industry did not care at the time about the current crop of candidates. They do this despite not knowing the rudimental biochemistry involved, a rough date when the Steroid Era actually began, how many players did or did not use, or how much the actual ?guardians of the game? ignored and profited from before finally being roused to action.

But they know a PED guy when they see one, a fascinating if moronic twist on the old Potter Stewart legal analysis of pornography, ?I know it when I see it.? And as an added insanity, they often didn?t know it when they saw it, because not all PEDs make you a Transformer, or a back acne patient, or a hydrocephalic.

So when voters complain that the Hall of Fame has become a more confounding place than it used to be, they are complaining about the actual history of the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was confounding the minute the word ?integrity? was introduced into a process that rewarded Ty Cobb, and installed executives who wanted baseball to be the private preserve of white folks.

In short, it is the history of the game in all its mutant imperfection, and the only rational way to deal with it is to ignore the idea that some level of antiseptic order can be restored. It can?t. And at this late date, it shouldn?t unless everyone is willing to start excavating the 75 years of detritus that the Hall has collected.

And so far, nobody wants to do that.

Boeing defends 787 reliability; shares rally

Boeing defends 787 reliability; shares rally

Boeing executives insisted Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013, that its 787 Dreamliner is safe, and investors rallied behind the company. But federal investigators are probing a Monday, Jan 7, 2013 fire aboard an empty 787 in Boston, the latest glitch for a high-profile jet that has a lot riding on it, both for Boeing and its airline customers.

After years of delays, Boeing has now delivered 49 of the planes, with almost 800 more on order. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia)

In this Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 photo, an American Airlines Boeing 757 passenger jet takes off as another waits on the taxiway at Miami International Airport in Miami. Directors of American Airlines' parent company likely won't make a decision when they meet Wednesday, Jan 9, 2013, to consider a possible merger with US Airways, even as momentum for a deal is building. Investors have been bidding up US Airways' stock price, and leaders of the two pilot unions agree on how to combine contracts, two developments that analysts say strengthen the case for a tie-up. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)

Boeing said Wednesday it has "extreme confidence" in its 787 Dreamliner even as federal investigators try to determine the cause of a fire that has prompted new worries about the plane.

The fire happened Monday in one of the plane's lithium ion batteries. Mike Sinnett, Boeing's chief engineer for 787, wouldn't comment on that specific incident, but told reporters that the battery is designed to avoid overheating and the area around the battery is designed to withstand a fire.

But questions remain about the high-profile jet, which has a lot riding on it both for Boeing and its airline customers. After a nearly three-year delay, Boeing has delivered 49 of the 787s so far, and has about 800 more on order.

Investors rallied behind the company Wednesday. Boeing shares gained 3.2 percent to $76.47, after dropping 4.6 percent the two previous days.

The Dreamliner has had a rough stretch. Besides Monday's fire aboard an empty Japan Airlines plane in Boston, a separate JAL 787 experienced a fuel leak on Tuesday. And All Nippon Airways cancelled a domestic 787 flight in Japan Wednesday when a computer system indicated a problem with the plane's brakes. Last month, a United Airlines 787 flying from Houston to Newark, N.J., diverted to New Orleans because of an electrical problem with a power distribution panel.

Sinnett says the problems Boeing has seen so far with the 787 are similar to early issues with the Boeing 777, which was introduced in the mid-1990s.

The battery fire is of particular interest because lithium batteries generally have not been used on large planes before the 787. Sinnett says the nature of lithium ion batteries means no fire extinguisher system will stop them from burning once they start. The NTSB said it took firefighters 40 minutes to put out Monday's fire.
