The IBC is the Commercial version of the building code, Chapter 8 of the IBC is titled Interiors and it covers the specification of wall covering and other interior finishes for Commercial spaces. The first chapter of the IBC code explains who may submit construction documents More

Jay - you are spot on with your comments. It was my very first reaction as well to the peculiar and rather inapt description of Holland & Knight and Akin Gump as lobbyists rather than what their actual role is likely to be -- as longstanding, top-shelf law firms with strong antitrust practices, frequently plying the trade in FTC matters large and small (I'm not as familiar with Bingham More

I can tell you that as somebody who recently sold a home, the only way to make the sale in a reasonable neighborhood is by having the house in pristine condition and dropping the price to a point that gets you ahead of the falling prices. Although I lost money relative to what I actually purchased the home for two years ago, I was fortunate to have not been underwater. The buyer had an More

Murdach is a slime ball. The graphic shows how this scandel is closing in on him.One of the first things that needs to be done is to re-arrest the slime ball Lockerbie bomber who was released by the UK on the grounds that he had terminal cancer but who has survived for the past few years.Another world level slime ball rapist like Roman Polanski and both champions of the left.Again, I More

I'll give ya three: The King's Speech, The Fighter, and Get Low. But I admit, $30 is a bit steep for a movie that's already 2 months old. I can abide the price if the movie was ready to watch on my receiver the day the movie is released in theaters. That would be the ideal situation, which I believe we'll get to sooner rather than later.
For a movie that's already been in theaters for More

Life is finite.
Money is a medium that is exchanged for a good or service. Saving is a form of insurance for security and should be a part of everyone's life. That being said, putting off major life experiences and expecting to do them in retirement is a gamble. Many people retire and suddenly become afraid to spend on that trip they always wanted, or their health keeps them from doing More

Audrey,
You can find numerous sources of data analysis and interpretation by doing online searches using phrases such as "federal compensation compared to private sector". Many draw from the same data.
You can also find conflicting analysis depending upon the source. For example, the government's own data analysis disagrees with analyses done by parties outside of government or unaffiliated More

Mr. Siegel seems to have left out the one mayor of NYC who did the most for the unions....John Lindsay. Not because he "gave away the store," but because he treated civil service workers like the elitist he was...and our present mayor, Mike Bloomberg, is.
Siegal mentions that Al Shanker, the Teachers' union president called a strike, but fails to say why.
John Lindsay started off his More

China is our friends. Don't worry. And when I say "our" I mean wealthy Americans, politicians and Big Business. All the fools who read the WSJ with their "Don't Tread on Me" flags and "Support our Troops" stickers are the biggest hypocrites. China is no different than USSR. They talk about patriotism and they are building the most powerful authoritarian communist country the world has More

Interesting observations in this article. I might point out too that the decades of highest crime from the mid-60s until the late 80s coincided with the strictist gun control laws in American history. Those laws were gradually reformed on a state by state basis from about 1989 to the present day where we now have 41 states with "shall issue" concealed carry provisions for any law abiding More
