They're still at it: Olive Garden/Red Lobster cutting hours to skirt "Obamacare" requirements
Not sure if this was posted here or not but...
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49343911
The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants is putting more workers on part-time status in a test aimed at limiting the impact of looming health coverage requirements.
Darden Restaurants declined to give details but said the test is only in restaurants in four markets across the country. The test entails increasing the number of workers on part-time status, meaning they work less than 30 hours a week. Under the new health care act, companies will be required to provide health care to full-time employees by 2014. That would significantly boost labor costs for businesses.
About 75 percent of Darden's employees are currently part-timers.
Even though it's only a "test", I'm marking Red Lobster and Olive Garden off my list.

Hostess CEO to his employees: "Take dat, take dat..."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/03/gregory-rayburn-hostess-ceo_n_2232543.html
The acting CEO of Hostess Brands, the failed Twinkies-maker, will not take part in a company-wide pay cut.
Though he imposed an 8 percent pay cut for all Hostess workers, Gregory Rayburn's monthly $125,000 pay -- or $1.5 million a year -- will remain unchanged, a company spokesman told The Huffington Post on Monday. Rayburn is not on the Hostess payroll and therefore isn't subject to the imposed pay cut, the spokesman explained.
Basically, he just told all the employees "Fuck You".

Kobe Bryant: ‘I’ll kick everybody’s ass in this locker room’ if Lakers don’t improve
In comments made to reporters after yesterday’s 113-103 loss to the Orlando Magic, Bryant fired a warning shot to his team that things must get better. Quotes via FOX Sports:
“I’ll kick everybody’s ass in this locker room if it doesn’t happen. It’s the attitude you have to have. Metta (World Peace) is the same way. Dwight (Howard) has it in him as well. Even though he smiles a lot, he cares a lot about this. Come hell or high water, this has to get done.”
Bryant also had some choice words for power forward Pau Gasol, who has struggled to adapt to life in new coach Mike D’Antoni’s high-energy offensive system. The message was basically the same: Adjust, or else.
“Put your big-boy pants on,” Kobe said with a trace of disgust in his voice. “C’mon … just adjust. You can’t whine about it or complain about it. Heck, I’m 34 years old, and I’m running screen-and-rolls out there because Steve is out, and my ass is running up and down the court more than I ever have in my entire career. But you have to adjust to it.”

Nebraska Teen Arrested for Robbing a Bank After Posting Her YouTube Video About It (W/Pics, Video)
By: Neetzan Zimmerman
Law enforcement officials in York County, Nebraska, believe they have a key piece of evidence necessary to convict a 19-year-old woman of bank robbery and motor vehicle theft: A YouTube video she posted last week in which she brags about robbing a bank and stealing a car.
Hannah Sabata of Stromsburg was arrested last week in connection with a robbery at a Cornerstone Bank in Waco and the theft of a car in York.
Helpfully, Sabata, in a video titled "Chick Bank Robbery," admits to stealing $6,256 from a bank after jacking a Pontiac Grand Am. For emphasis, she also shows the camera just how much money she has, and refers to her alleged crime spree as the "best day of her life."
In addition to a written confession, Sabata also appears in the video dressed in the same clothes worn by the person who robbed the bank.
The teen, who refers to her hometown as "Hicktown" and claims to be a "victim of the government," was a colorful character long before her arrest. On her deviantART page, Sabata lists several "interesting facts" about herself, which include:
.I can stretch both legs behind my head at the same time; I can do the splits; I can stand on my head; I have HIV; I'm married; I'm pregnant; I've been to jail; I've been to Boys Town; I've been homeless; I have ran away; I've saved my grandmother; I'm often mistaken as Asian; I get straight A's in school
According to York County Sheriff Dale Radcliff, "all but $30 of the stolen money" has been recovered. Sabata was booked into York County Jail where she currently remains.

New Orleans Hornets Changing Team Name To 'Pelicans'....aaight
The New Orleans Hornets are expected to become the New Orleans Pelicans, perhaps as early as the 2013-14 season, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.
Yahoo! Sports, citing numerous sources, reports the team also considered Krewe and Brass as potential nicknames.
The Hornets have planned to change their name since New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who also owns the rights to the Pelicans nickname, bought the team in April.
Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan said in November he'd be interested in bringing the Hornets name back to Charlotte.

Nicki Minaj Demands Hot 97 Not Play Her Music Anymore
Despite patching things up after this year's Summer Jam fiasco, it looks like Nicki Minaj is at odds with Hot 97 once again. Now, in a recent interview with Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg, Hot 97's program director Ebro says Nicki told him she doesn't want the station playing anymore of her music.
Ebro explained that the most recent tiff with Minaj began after he said that Rosenberg's comments ruined her career when her rap-heavy Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up only moved 36,000 units upon its release. According to Ebro, the YMCMB starlet called him from overseas, insulted him and demanded he never play her music on air again.
"I said, 'Rosenberg ruined Nicki Minaj's career' - evidence suggests based on this Re-Up release, the things [Rosenberg] said about her being pop and selling out and making that pop music came back to haunt her," he said. "Now, she puts six rap records on this album and it didn't sell…I get the phone call, the international number pops up, I answer the call, it's my friend Nicki Minaj, who then starts to proclaim how I'm fake. She used every woman's stab she could - 'I thought you were a man, you're a cornball, I thought we were friends, you're fake, everyone told me you were fake'…I said, 'Nicki, I'm helping you. I'm keeping you in the Hip Hop conversation. This Hip Hop thing's a competition; you're either ringing, or you're not, and just like I said yesterday, i love you, boo and I'll dust you off and make sure this thing is popping off again.' And she goes, 'Don't ever play my music again'…of course we are [still playing Nicki Minaj], I love Nicki Minaj."

I told y'all 2 years ago... Cops ask congress to force text message retention
http://community.allhiphop.com/discussion/comment/1330215/#Comment_1330215
So here we are a bit over two years after I posted a warning and it's worse than even I expected:
AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and other wireless providers would be required to record and store information about Americans' private text messages for at least two years, according to a proposal that police have submitted to the U.S. Congress.
CNET has learned a constellation of law enforcement groups has asked the U.S. Senate to require that wireless companies retain that information, warning that the lack of a current federal requirement "can hinder law enforcement investigations."
They want an SMS retention requirement to be "considered" during congressional discussions over updating a 1986 privacy law for the cloud computing era -- a move that could complicate debate over the measure and erode support for it among civil libertarians.
As the popularity of text messages has exploded in recent years, so has their use in criminal investigations and civil lawsuits. They have been introduced as evidence in armed robbery, cocaine distribution, and wire fraud prosecutions. In one 2009 case in Michigan, wireless provider SkyTel turned over the contents of 626,638 SMS messages, a figure described by a federal judge as "staggering."
Chuck DeWitt, a spokesman for the Major Cities Chiefs Police Association, which represents the 63 largest U.S. police forces including New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago, said "all such records should be retained for two years." Some providers, like Verizon, retain the contents of SMS messages for a brief period of time, while others like T-Mobile do not store them at all.
Government agencies already have access to your shit as we've seen time and time again. It's long been known that cops track people using tower triangulation and GPS thanks to wireless providers and they've been known to subpoena text messages for use in criminal cases (see also Kwame Kilpatrick). Some courts have suppressed text message subpoenas, but this request by law enforcement would make it so that your shit would be retained and available to them if the feel like going through them.
1984 is a bit late in coming, but it's almost here.
