I had started a new job last week. Anyway, i was told that my first 90 days was a probationary period. The company went on 3 point system. 3 points and your gone. well, my first week i missed one day due to hospital reasons. i followed up, cause they needed a note in order to return to work. That was one point. Just the other day, i ended up having what i thought was a heart attack. I was rushed to the hospital, missed another day, that was another point. Well, when i talked to my wife, she had told me that my employer decided to terminate me. The reason i was told was i wasn't doing my job when i really was. They terminated me for that reason cause they said they couldn't use "medical reasons" for a cause to terminate. I have proof cause my father in law works there too. They terminated me on 2 points, and not 3. Can they do that? Also, someone told my father in law that i wasn't doing my job, and that person doesn't even work in the same building. Any legal advice?

A defense in Pennsylvania to a property levy is "The value of the property being levied is excessive compared to the judgement." Is there a "rule of thumb" here? Is it a particular percentage? what constitutes excessive?

I'm a proud veteran who's ashamed at the lack of common sense among our soldiers and the public. Isn't support for this quagmire BASICALLY identical to Germans who supported Hitler's forced will on others?

Does anyone know what the drug policy is for Employment as a Police officer with the Milwaukee PD?

No, I don't due drugs; however, I have experimented with a few different types, and the most recent event was seven years ago. I just found out through the Dallas Department recruitment seminar that their policy on experimental use with LSD, and MMDA(Ecstasy) is ten years since last use before you can apply. Does Milwaukee have a similar policy? I did Acid in high school but that was almost 15 years ago, and I tried "X", in 2000, so 7 almost 8 years ago.

Does MPD have a similar policy? I'm totally open to talk about the times I tried them...I didn't like it and drugs just aren't my thing...

I'm looking for real answer on here, because I just did the written last week, and really want to move forward with the Police department. Please no speculations on the matter. So if any one has experience in the hiring of police officer, it would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

The 4th amendment is just as important as the 2nd yet they do not seem to care about anything in the Constitution besides owning a firearm.

Has anyone ever heard a neo-con state; "They will have to pry my right to privacy out of my dead hands"?

So please forgive me for concluding that we lost the war in Iraq, with 4500 American deaths for nothing... when 160,000 soldiers couldn't defeat a bunch of Arab fighters.

It seems that after our soldiers do their tour of duty in a foreign land where they are bombarded and shot at, face mind blowing experiences then they are brought home and dump off and forgotten about. It's actually easier for the illegal immigrants to get government assistance than it is for the our veterans...Can you tell me why this is???

Hundreds of protestors have demonstrated outside Downing Street calling for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. It was organised to encourage the British government to put more pressure on the Pakistani president's regime.

Why are the protestors not demonstrating outside the Pakistan embassy? What form do the protestors believe this British Government 'pressure' should take?

An illegal immigrant pleaded guilty to charges related to a number of Peeping Tom and sexual assaults in Pacific Beach and will be sentenced to more than five years in state prison, a prosecutor said today.

Eduardo Castillo Herrarte, 33, was arrested in February, a week after authorities released a composite rendering of the perpetrator in a series of at least 10 crimes in the beach area.

He pleaded guilty yesterday to one count each of residential burglary and assault with intent to commit rape, and two counts of peeping.

Herrarte faces a stipulated sentence of five years and four months at a hearing Jan. 14.

A resident who had reported seeing a peeper in Pacific Beach in 2005 came forward again Feb. 16 with a photograph of the man, believing he resembled the new suspect sketch she'd seen on the news, police said.

The woman said she'd seen the same stranger in the area about two months before coming forward, police said.

Detectives said Herrarte had been interrogated two years earlier but was released for lack of evidence.

Police then got in touch with immigration officials, who assisted by detaining Herrarte -- who has been deported at least twice -- and taking a photograph of him for identification in the sex-crimes cases, police said.

Following his arrest Feb. 22, the Guatemala native, a landscaper who has worked in Pacific Beach for years, made statements that incriminated him in the crimes, police said.

Eight of the offenses in the 10-month series involved peeping through residential windows. In the other two cases, the perpetrator entered homes and "had physical contact" with the victims, police saidhttp://www.fox6.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=f8a21143-f58c-4cf4-bb79-876326354f9a&rss=tick

How do you feel about his speech saying that we ought to adopt Muslim ways, arranged marriages, alcohol restraint, obedience, raising children within boundaries etc etc ? How dare he try to preach his values - we have seen the result of their raising children within boundaries over the last few years! They have effectively murdered so many of the hands that tried to help them become a part of this nation. His rant is because Jonathan Evans of M15 has made some very worthy speech and this doesn't suit Abdul Bari's sensibilities! Well tough because we are getting pretty sick of listening to 15th century dictat and to hearing how Muslim women are treated as less than the family dog and i for one am no longer willing to be quiet - Muslim girls need to be educated away from this - just the same as Roman Catholic girls had to be educated away from male persecution and believing that it was their fault if a man molested or raped them. I am not nor ever have been a feminist. I was a catholic
