I was injured at work (RN) in june and my doctor put me on light duty - paperwork only- rather than the usual patient care that I do as nurse. After 8 weeks on light duty my unit manager simply didn't schedule me at all for the current 4 weeks. I am not earning money, I am not doing "light duty" or anything! The irony is that I was returned to my full duties the last two weeks of the current work schedule - but the new schedule was alrady out with me being "x-ed" out the entire 4 weeks. She used up all my PTO timeso I would get paid for part of the first two weeks of this new schedule which has me not working at all. I was scedhuled for vacation in October to take a class and now have no PTO to cover it. I thought she had to schedule me according to my contract of 36 hours/week whether I was doing "light duty" or regular duty. What are my rights in this matter? Is she not suppose to schedule me to work so I can earn income? Can I demand payment rather than use up my PTO?

I just got a notice in the mail from the Secretary of State in Illinois stating my driver's license was suspended for being CONVICTED of more than three offenses in a 12-month period. The dates of the offenses are barely within 12 months (the first being 3-24-05 and the fourth 3-22-06). But the first two conviction dates were 2005 and the last two were in 2007, which is more than 12 months apart and that's what the vehicle code states. I am planning to call and complain but I want to know if I can get rid of this suspension because of the wording and the fact that my convictions are two years apart.
I also think it's unfair because it has been 19 months since my last ticket and they could have suspended my license in 2006, instead my suspension is slated to begin 11-30-07. Is this worth fighting? Do I have a chance to get rid of it because that is what the wording says.

I married an army soldier in July. Due to army classes (a month of WLC) and field time, he has not had any time to do much of the paperwork he needs to do to get me registered with the army. I know he has signed me up with DEERS. He doesnt really know what he needs to do. He has asked his leaders and they dont really know either. Everyone he knows that is married is either dual military or were married before they joined the army so he doesnt have anyone he can ask. He tells me that doing army paperwork is like a maze and takes a long time.

Please folks! I need real answers here, dont just be rude. I am looking for the forms that he needs to fill out. Does anyone know who he should ask or the actual form numbers/names? I dont even have an ID yet. I have looked around online and cant find anything. It has been suggested to me that I go and talk to a recruiter about all of this. But I have heard that it could get my husband in trouble. True?

Thanks for your EXPERIENCED answers!!!!

83 liberals were arrested for trying to disrupt Denver's 100th annual Columbus Day Parade yesterday:

Just as the Fourth of July is an important day to celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the history of the world, Columbus Day celebrates the lifting of this hemisphere out of Stone Age barbarism by the spread of Western Civilization.

Do you believe that globalization (the increased integration or increased “connectedness” of the world) will lead to more democracy or less democracy, more peace or more war, greater wealth for greater numbers or increasing poverty and inequality? Do your answers suggest a view of the world that is closer to realism, liberalism, or Marxism/Leninism? Explain.

Lawyers for the president have prepared documents that have excluded such activities as waterboarding and sleep deprivation from the list of approved tortures. In fact, they are described as not being tortures at all! But before the advent of Bush, these were all forbidden in the treatment of prisoners. During World War !!, prisoners and guards were friendly, playing cards together and garnering information through casual conversations. Eavesdropping was also used, as they allowed prisoners to visit each other. It was believed then, and is believed now by many experts, that information gained from torture is often false.

Do you believe the President's words were truthful, or is he again using political jargon to confuse the issue? And do you believe that more humane treatment results in more information in the long run?

Those of you who claim that the money will go for the support of the child are living in a fantasy world. I believe it will go more toward supporting alcohol and drug addiction. The children will become foster children. It is child abuse to have a child you cannot support.
