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?

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?

My boyfriend and I are thinking about getting married in Canada. I would like to know, if we make all of the arrangements, i.e. marriage license, ceremony, etc. and get married in Canada, will our marriage be recognized by the U.S. government, or will we have to get married here as well? We are both U.S. citizens and reside in the U.S.

My boyfriend just recently got a ticket for public urination. He was behind a dumpster with enclosed walls. All the bars were packed with people and he really needed to go, since he was drinking a certain protein shake that had an ingredient in it to clean out his system.

I thought that this was a whole set up. The bicycle cops rode and stopped at the dumpster. So I assume that they were waiting around for a victim. Anyway my boyfriend had already finished when the cops came. So the cops didn't see him during the act. My boyfriend admitted to it and was polite, thinking that he'd get let off with a warning.

Now he has court coming up and everyone is telling him to plead not guilty. How would that work if he admitted it to the cops and then plead not guilty in court. Some say after he pleads not guilty, they will have another court date. Usually will the judge throw the case out and will this be on his record when it comes to background check if he does gets fined?

June of 2006 I purchased a rehab condo in a rehabbed building. When the electric company came to put in the new meters in for all of the units, they forgot to put mine in. It's almost a year and a half later, and the meter corresponding to my unit is still not in there. They have no way to measure the electricity I use, so I still haven't received an electric bill. I've let the electric company (ComEd) know, and originally they told me the developer had to re-set it up, and because no one was claiming responsibility (developer said they already had, and didn't need to do it again), I let it slide . Free electricity, right? Anyway, I've been on ComEd hard recently to get this installed because I have no idea who is paying for my electricity and I don't want to be hit with a huge bill sometime. The customer service told me once it is installed I will be charged a monthly "average" for all the months I didn't have to pay.. I'm nervous this is going to be an unfair arbitrary number.

I know it's been ruled that way. But can anyone point to the provision of the Constitution that entitles the federal government to set up this enormous retirement and disability insurance system?

In simple terms, how could the courts have held this to be constitutional?

At my school they lock all the bathrooms. In order to get in you have to go to an office, ask for the key and then go to the bathroom. Sometimes this can take a while if someone else has the key.
Lately kids stole some of the keys so its hard to find a bathroom, is this legal?

My daughter is 5 1/2 years old. She hasn't seen nor heard from her father in 2 years. He is ready to relinquish his rights and I am willing to completely agree to this. Is there anything we can do without going to court AGAIN?! I, myself, have spent over $20,000 in the past 4 years on attorney fees, court costs, and filing documents. All for nothing. Untill now. BUT I DON'T want to go back to court. HELP!

My husband has been paying child support for six years, $317 a month. His ex keeps threatening to take him back to court for more money, but the way she brags it seems like she and her husband make about twice as much as we do. Does anyone know if they take the spouses income into consideration in Wyoming? We haven't hired a lawyer yet, but it seems like it would be worth it just to shut her up.
