America's dirty little secret?
They were supposed to be on the job, but last week was spring break in Magic Valley schools. That's one of several weeks during the year - the week before Christmas, the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, the week that deer season opens - when nobody actually shows up at the office.They get away with it, obviously, through the wonders of voice mail. If, for example, you're supposed to be at your desk Monday through Friday but have a hankering to do some telecommuting in Mazatlan by Tuesday, you simply leave the following message on your office telephone's answering machine:"Hi, this is Steve Crump. It's Tuesday, and I expect to be in the office for the rest of the week. If you've reached this recording, then I've just stepped away from my desk."About 1,900 miles away, actually.This ruse works because anyone who seriously wants to get in touch with you has your cell phone number.

William Hill Bids to Break up Greece’s Gambling Monopoly
Bookmaker and online casino giant William Hill announced that it has requested a license to open betting shops in Greece, challenging the stronghold over the market established by the countrys official betting organisation, OPAP.
If the license is not granted by the Greek government, as some expect will happen, the firm is prepared to fight it out in the in European courts in an attempt to put a dent in OPAP's monopoly.
William Hill chief executive David Harding said, We believe the recent European cases mean that what is happening is in breach of EU law. If it is rejected we will go to the courts to argue our case and that could involve going to the European Court of Justice.
The company may receive the EUs support to enter the market after Marchs European Court of Justice (EJC) ruling barring Italy from using criminal law to shut out foreign bookmakers in a case presented by Stanley Leisure.
