Health Care Law Help for Businesses

Health Care Law Help for Businesses

The Health Care Law ( the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ) is 2,409 pages long, making it difficult for many businesses with employees to understand all the details within the law. The Health Care Law has just been made easier to understand, thanks to some major California business organizations that joined together to create the Health Law Guide for Business website. To make it simple for employers to know the facts on the law’s business-specific provisions, the website provides accurate and easily understood information about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act . A nonprofit information hub for California businesses, the media and employees, the Health Law Guide for Business was created by California businesses for California businesses. “Small businesses will discover that the most value from using the website will be a greater understanding of the changes in our health care system that have already gone into effect and allow them to plan for those that lie ahead,” said Scott Hauge , president of Small Business California. The project is generously funded by The California Endowment . The website was created by a partnership between the Bay Area Council, CA Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, CA Small Business Development Centers,

Council Hears Plight of Rent Control Tenants Facing Eviction

February 8, 2012

A senior citizen couple is facing eviction from their apartment based on a technicality in Beverly Hills’ rent stabilization ordinance, the City Council learned Tuesday. Speaking on behalf of Parker and Jean West, attorney and former Beverly Hills Mayor Mark Egerman detailed the couple’s struggle to keep their apartment at 420 S. Doheny Drive after nearly 24 years of residency. Egerman, who was accompanied by the couple at the podium in Council Chambers, urged council members to “study the issue to ensure that ordinances enacted to protect senior citizens on limited income are not circumvented in any way.” The Wests have fought a legal battle with two property owners since 2009, Egerman said. In the latest round of legal wrangling, the property owners have issued an eviction notice centered around the issue of “comparability.” After recent renovations added a bathroom to the couple’s unit and additional kitchen space to a neighboring apartment, there is a lack of comparability, the owners claimed. This negates the couple’s rent-control standing under the city’s rent stabilization ordinance, paving the way for the current owners to move into the disputed unit. City Attorney Larry Wiener said his office and other city staff personnel are studying the issue and will make a determination on the matter in “several days” or “several weeks.” Council members agreed to put the issue on their next meeting agenda for further public discussion. The next council meeting is scheduled for Feb. 21. “Mr. and Mrs. West, we are so sorry for your predicament, and as a city we take this responsibility very seriously so you will have our full, undivided attention,” Mayor Barry Brucker said.  B e sure to follow Beverly Hills Patch on Twitter and “Like” us on Facebook .

Madonna’s Superbowl Jewelry: Bvlgari + Givenchy

Madonna’s Superbowl Jewelry: Bvlgari + Givenchy

For Diamond & Estate Trust , the highlight of Super Bowl XLVI wasn’t the last-minute touchdown that had the New York Giants trumping the New England Patriots yet again, or the much anticipated commercials. Instead, it was Madonna’s Halftime Show outfit – and her bold custom accessories – that had us cheering. It’s no surprise that Madonna’s return to the stage was a lavish affair. The icon had three costumes, each custom-designed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy Haute Couture and accented by brilliant accessories. And the most brilliant accessory of all was undoubtedly the diva’s million-dollar, 19.6 carat Bulgari diamond earrings that are rumored to have belonged to jewelry goddess Elizabeth Taylor . Each stunning earring features horizontal baguette shaped diamonds and three hanging strands of round white diamonds in varying sizes. Amid three on-stage costume switches and more song changes than we can count, these Bulgari earrings provided a constant, brilliant shine that followed the singer throughout the entire Halftime Show. When it came to her three Givenchy looks, Madonna chose a high-drama, gold and black color palate. Her first outfit’s Egyptian flair was accented by a dramatic crystal-covered gold headpiece from designer Philip Treacy. The singer then changed into a black mini-dress, a look that was likewise defined by heavy gold accessories: A bold, hand-studded and hand-embroidered Gladiator belt with removable flaps was powerful and edgy. In her last outfit, Madonna performed her iconic hit “Like A Prayer” in a black silk robe hand-embroidered with black rectangular sequins and micro pearls. Bravo to wardrobe designer Riccardo Tisci and the singer herself for making these dramatic costume changes appear so effortless. With those Bulgari earrings and three dramatic Givenchy outfits in her arsenal, it’s no wonder Madonna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was the most exciting in recent memory. Want to find accessories luxurious enough for the big stage? With our large collection of diamonds , both loose and in brilliant vintage settings, Diamond & Estate Trust is the premier diamond and gem buyer and seller in Southern California.
