Must we reveal salary before offering promotion? ? Business ...

Q. Do we have to tell employees exactly how much they will be making before we offer them a promotion? ? T.M., Illinois

A. Assuming the employment relationship is on an at-will basis, an employer has the flexibility to change the terms and conditions of an employee?s job prospectively, with or without advance notice. In such cases?while it may be good for morale to keep employees apprised of such important information?you legally can offer a promotion or other position change without disclosing some or all of the compensation terms. ?

Best bet: To avoid misunderstandings that can give rise to disputes, it would be advisable to clearly spell out the main terms of employment offers, preferably in writing.

Current TV countersues Olbermann, seeks damages

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Current TV offered its rebuttal to a scathing lawsuit filed by Keith Olbermann by filing a countersuit Friday detailing alleged bad behavior by its former talk show host and seeking a judge's ruling that he is not entitled to any more money from the network.

The network's filing accuses Olbermann of breaching his contract by disclosing terms of the lucrative deal, refusing to cooperate in promoting the show and taking days off without permission.

The countersuit comes one day after Olbermann sued his former employer, claiming it violated his agreement, engaged in shoddy production values and owed him more than $50 million.

"Current seeks a determination that it is no longer obligated to pay a dime to Mr. Olbermann who, having already been paid handsomely for showing up sporadically and utterly failing to keep his end of the bargain, now seeks to be paid tens of millions more for not working at all," the filing states.

The network and Olbermann have been at odds for months, and the dispute has escalated in the days since the former "Countdown" host was fired last week.

Olbermann's attorney Patricia Glaser said of Current's countersuit: "No merit. No defense. And in our view, no problem."

Current's suit claims Olbermann has damaged the network and will continue to do so. It seeks unspecified damages.

The networks' filing paints Olbermann as a petulant figure after he was hired to be Current's signature host, rejecting seven limousine companies, refusing to cooperate in promotional discussions and taking vacations with little notice. The complaint claims Olbermann wrote to Current co-founder Joel Hyatt to complain about a problem with a guest, "Give me a name so I know which of them to kill with my bare hands," and threw a glass mug on the set, which prompted a complaint from the set's landlord.

After two days of court filings, it was clear neither side was pulling punches in its description of the other.

Olbermann's lawsuit repeatedly attacked the network and described Hyatt and co-founder Al Gore as "dilettantes portraying entertainment industry executives."

"Olbermann deeply regrets his decision to put his trust in Hyatt and Gore," the lawsuit claims. "Current had neither the desire nor the ability to produce a first rate news commentary show. Olbermann did not join Current to ruin his hard-won reputation and appear on a show that was an embarrassment."

His lawsuit described a litany of technical issues, including shoddy equipment that wouldn't work if it rained, "terrible sound and filming" of the show, segments that abruptly dropped off the air, busted teleprompters and an earpiece that repeatedly malfunctioned.

Current's filing Friday claims Olbermann refused to cooperate in discussions about improving the set, and in general refused to promote the network.

Olbermann's lawsuit denied several of the claims, including that he leaked information about his contract and that his absences were unauthorized.

The former host, who claims he may be owed $70 million or more when the case is over, took to Twitter after reading Current's countersuit.

"After reading the Current filing my attorneys and I think it should be subtitled 'How To Try To Pound The Table ... And Miss,'" Olbermann posted.

Unofficial March 2012 Maui Real Estate Statistics ? Maui Real ...

April is here and that means it is time to check in on how the Maui Real Estate market performed in March. Market activity is a frequent subject of conversation on our island. I have had more than a few interactions this month where people have asked, ?Is it true the market is on fire?? Others have stated unequivocally that the Maui Real Estate market is booming again. Needless to say, there appears to be quite a bit of hype about Maui property sales. The question I have is whether the market meets the hype. That?s what I am hoping to answer with this month?s Unofficial Maui Real Estate statistics. Without further ado, here is what I found after sorting through the Maui MLS data for the month of March.

This Table Compares Maui Real Estate Sales Volumes for Homes, Condo and Land During March 2011 and March 2012

Chart comparing real estate sales volumes in Maui between March 2011 and March 2012

Table comparing Maui Real Estate Sales Volumes for March 2011 and March 2012

By my count, Maui Realtors have reported 80 home sales for March 2012 at a median price of $432,500. That compares to 89 homes sold in March 2011 at a median of $450,000. That is around a 10% dip in volume and a 4% dip in median prices when comparing this March to last March.

Maui Realtors have reported 128 condo sales last month at a median price of $370,000. By comparison, there were 124 condos sold at a median of $289,000. That represents a 3% increase in volume and a 28% increase in median prices for March 2012 over March 2011.

Land transactions for March 2012 stand at 21 sales at a median price of $455,000. Last March, there were 10 sales reported at a median of $517,500. That is a robust 110% increase in sales volume and a 12% decrease in median price.

The Maui Real Estate market continues to be impacted by the sale of Bank Owned Properties (REOs) and Short Sales. There were 66 bank owned or short sale closes on Maui last Month. Of the 80 homes that sold, 34 were REOs or Short Sales. That is 42.5% of the sales volume. Of the 128 condos that sold, 30 were REOs or Short Sales. That is 23% of the condo sales. Of the 21 land sales that closed, 2 were REOs. There were an additional four bankruptcy sales among the 21 closes.

Looking at the numbers above, the land sales volume is the big stand out for the month. The ugly step child of my unofficial stats posts is getting a day in the sun. Land sales started to slump from a volume stand point in the middle of 2007. Over that span of time, there had been only one month with 20+ sales. That was in early 2008 when there were 24 sales. The majority of those sales were a bulk purchase in a single development. What drove the market resurgence and is this the sign of increasing health in the land market? I would venture that value and opportunity are what drove an upswing in buyers. We are starting to see sellers adjust their pricing to levels where buyers are willing and able to purchase. The question remains whether March will start the beginning of an improved land market or if it is just an anomaly. There is still between 4 and 5 years worth of land inventory on the market so there is quite a ways to go before we see the dynamics in place to substantially raise values.

The condo market produced the second most eye catching number of the month with a 28% increase in median over March 2011. To be clear, this jump does not mean condo values have increased 28% over the last year. The biggest reason behind the change relates to where market activity is occurring. During March of 2011, much of the sales activity was lower priced bank owned properties. This year, there is less bank owned inventory and tighter entry level inventory. This has actually led to some modest price increases for some entry level condos. This shouldn?t come as too big a surprise as this segment of the market was the first to see prices decrease and was the hardest hit segment of the Maui market.

While lower priced activity has slowed due to lack of inventory, we have seen more activity in the middle ranges of the condo market. The increase in middle range sales is helping to push up medians. Buyers appear to be responding well to new development properties with 30 sales that were new developer offerings last month. Much of this new development activity is happening in the middle price ranges of our market. We are also seeing a little more activity in the middle ground of the second home and vacation rental market. This is part of a national upswing on vacation rental properties and second homes. Canadian buyers continue to have an impact as currency exchange remains favorable. While the middle ground has been stronger, the ultra luxury condo market is off a little over last year. There were 4 sales over $1,500,000 this March compared to 7 sales last March.

The dip in home sales numbers may just be a reflection of monthly variability. Home sales have been alternating between better than the year prior and a little slower than the year prior for the last few months. While the numbers are by no means poor, they do contradict the word on the street. The Maui market appears to be making some strides to a slow recovery, but it may not meet be experiencing the booming recovery that some are proclaiming. It will be interesting to see what the next few months bring us. We are rapidly approaching the end of peak buying season for Maui which should lead to a decrease in demand. On the other side, we continue to see tightening inventories in some segments of the market.

For those that are thinking of sticking their toe in the Maui market, my advice hasn?t changed. Buyers who want to enter the market will find that there are properties priced well below peak market values. The best opportunities can be competitive with multiple offers and above asking sales prices on some of the better values. With that in mind, buyer?s who need assistance with financing should take the time to get pre-approved with a bank up front. It is best to get approval with a bank with experience lending in Hawaii. Buyers should be prepared to strike quickly when they see properties that meet their needs at good prices. Sellers will find that there is still competition via lower priced REOs, short sales and motivated conventional sellers. The Maui Real Estate team works closely with their sellers to look at comparable sales and evaluate their niche of the market. Sellers who have the means should address deferred maintenance and other issues that could deter buyers.

Financial thoughts ? Owner of AT&T tower gets property tax cut

The city of St. Louis is giving a $4.7 million property tax break to the owner of one of downtown?s tallest office towers, One AT&T Center.

The local holding company, affiliated with one of the nation?s largest real estate trusts, convinced the city assessor that the building is worth far less than its purchase price in 2006 because AT&T, its lone tenant, now fills only half its office space.

MB St. Louis LLC is the owner of record for the property, which was acquired for $204.9 million by Minto Holdings Inc., of Florida and Inland American Real Estate Trust, of Oak Brook, Ill.

Inland American, according to its most recent annual report, posted annual revenues last year of $1.3 billion and holds interests in nearly 1,000 properties, including hotels, office towers and retail complexes across the country. Inland reported last month that a subsidiary paid $22.6 million for the Hilton hotel at 400 Olive Street in downtown St. Louis as part of a $393.1 million deal for five hotels in Atlanta, San Francisco, Austin, and Lexington, Ky.

Inland?s affiliate, MB St. Louis, convinced St. Louis assessor Ed Bushmeyer that the AT&T tower is now worth just $135 million ? about $70 million less than what it sold for in 2006.

Jerome Wallach, an attorney for MB St. Louis, argues that the building?s value plummeted because AT&T has slashed the size of its workforce there, and low occupancy cuts the building?s market value. The owner would have difficulty selling the half-full building for an attractive price when AT&T?s lease expires in 2017, he added.

But the building is not for sale now, Wallach acknowledged, nor has MB St. Louis given AT&T any rent breaks on the property because of its diminished presence. Wallach argues the rent shouldn?t factor into assessed value, which should be based on what it might sell for now in its half-full state.

Bushmeyer initially contended that occupancy levels have no effect on the structure?s value ? because AT&T leases the entire 1.2 million-square-foot building, regardless of the space filled. But Bushmeyer ultimately bought the landlord?s argument that the relatively short period left on the lease, along with potential renovations needed to accommodate multiple tenants, justified the lower assessment.

The matter was resolved in a settlement approved by the State Tax Commission on March 27. The owner first appealed the assessor?s valuation to the city?s Board of Equalization, which lowered the building?s 2010 assessment to match its December 2006 purchase price, $204.9 million. MB St. Louis then appealed that ruling to the State Tax Commission on line pay day loans.

Before the state commission could issue a decision, the owner and the city assessor reached an agreement that dropped the building?s 2010 value to $155 million. The agreement also lowers the 2011 and 2012 values to $135 million from the city?s original assessment of $191.5 million.

The result is three years of tax cuts, totaling $4.7 million.

Since 2007, the annual property tax bill has been about $5.5 million, city records show. The portion of taxes MB St. Louis paid under protest in previous years will be refunded from an escrow account, Bushmeyer said.

Completed in 1986, the 44-story tower is downtown?s third-tallest structure, trailing only the 630-foot Arch and ? by five feet ? the 593-foot Metropolitan Square building on Broadway.

An AT&T spokesman said employment at the company?s three-building downtown complex, including the tower, is slightly less than 4,500. As recently as 2009, the complex had nearly 5,700 workers.

Another factor in the building?s lowered value is its design as a single-tenant headquarters, the owner argued. Most downtown office towers were built for multiple tenants. A new owner of the AT&T tower would likely face an expensive and time-consuming renovation to accommodate multiple tenants.

?The assessor?s office relied on sales and rental transactions involving multi-tenant buildings downtown, such as Met Square,? in its initial property assessment, Wallach said. ?AT&T is used as a single-tenant building. It was, in my opinion, an apples and oranges comparison.?

The tower?s lowered assessment will mean that city public schools and other tax-supported entities will take a slight hit, Bushmeyer acknowledged. But he noted that while citywide reassessments in 2009 and 2011 produced generally lower property values ? and lower tax bills ? state law allows some taxing districts to raise rates to make up lost revenue.

The AT&T case illustrates the nationwide decline of real estate values during the recession, Bushmeyer said.

?I expect that, as the economy improves, we will see valuations increase,? he said.

Jim Mosby, senior managing director in St. Louis of Cassidy Turley, said Thursday that challenges to assessed valuations have been widespread over the past four years because of general declines in the value of commercial real estate.

?At some time, the market takes over, no matter what you have in your building,? he said.

(AP) ? LeBron James had 34 points and 10 assists, Dwyane Wade scored 19 points and the Miami Heat avenged a loss at Oklahoma City last week, rallying to beat the Thunder 98-93 on Wednesday night for their 17th straight home victory.

Mario Chalmers scored 13 points, and Chris Bosh had 12 for Miami, which trailed by 11 in the first half before a comeback fueled in part by Russell Westbrook pulling James down from behind on a fast break in the second quarter.

Kevin Durant scored 30 points for Oklahoma City, and Westbrook added 28, but shot 9 for 26. James Harden had 12 for the Thunder, who lost despite holding Miami to 37 percent shooting.

The win moved Miami (39-14) within two games of Chicago (42-13) in the race for the NBA's best record. Oklahoma City fell to 40-14.

Durant could have given Oklahoma City the lead with 1:30 left, backing down James and then trying a turnaround from the left side. His shot was way off, hitting the top of the backboard.

Bosh, who had been 3 for 13 to that point, made a jumper on the next Miami possession to make it 96-93. Kendrick Perkins then missed two free throws with 43.6 seconds left, the first Thunder misses from the line all night after starting 18 of 18.

And after James couldn't connect on the ensuing Miami trip, it was still a one-possession game. The Thunder called a timeout with 19.5 seconds left and went for the quick 3, Durant's try hitting the front of the rim and going out of bounds. Wade made a pair of foul shots, stretching the lead to five, and it was soon over.

Oklahoma City's win at home over Miami last week was largely one-sided.

For a while, this one looked as if it would go the same way.

There were some incidents that had big-deal potential in the opening minutes. Wade and James failed to score on a pair of early 2-on-1s, first against Westbrook, then against Durant. James tweaked his left ankle after falling over a courtside videographer, then grabbed at his back and winced after some unintentional and unexpected contact with referee Zach Zarba.

By night's end, all that was forgotten.

Westbrook's three-point play with 7:27 left in the second quarter gave Oklahoma City a 36-25 lead, and that sort of margin typically means a Thunder win ? they came into Wednesday 32-2 when they held a double-digit lead.

Then the game's complexion changed.

The first salvo came with 5:45 left in the half, when Perkins struck Wade in the head while trying to block a shot and both got called for a technical and personal fouls, much to the ire of both sides ? coach Scott Brooks couldn't understand why Perkins merited both, while Heat coach Erik Spoelstra asked why contact to the head wasn't worth a flagrant foul.

The flagrant came 12 seconds later.

Wade stole the ball from Westbrook, flipped it ahead to James, who leaped for a dunk. Westbrook came from behind James, wrapping his left hand over the Heat star's left shoulder and using his right hand to grab him around the waist.

James fell to the court, and emotions started boiling over.

Referees Bill Kennedy and Olandis Poole jumped into the fray, making sure players didn't go at one another. Heat President Pat Riley got out of his seat three rows from the court and took a long look at the scene, while normally mild-mannered Miami assistant coach Bob McAdoo had some choice words for anyone who would listen. The end result was a flagrant-1 for Westbrook. James swished a jumper as time in the half expired, and Miami led 50-49.

The Heat closed the half on a 23-11 run.

"Playoff basketball," James said at halftime in a TV interview. "I know Russ. I don't think he's a dirty player."

He's right ? it certainly did have a playoff feel.

Even new Jets quarterback Tim Tebow ? who James raves about ? was taking notice of the level of play.

"Don't know who's gonna win," Tebow tweeted in the third quarter, "but KingJames isn't playing around."

Neither were the Thunder.

As soon as the Heat went up by nine late in the third, their biggest lead to that point, the Thunder came back with a 10-0 run to reclaim the lead. Durant started the burst with a 12-footer with 3 seconds left in the quarter, then Oklahoma City scored the first eight of the fourth to go back on top 81-80.

By that point, it was clear this one was going to the wire.

NOTES: Word that Wade would play ? he missed Tuesday's game against Philadelphia with a bruised left knee ? came down about 45 minutes before tip-off. ... NFL stars Julius Peppers and Jeremy Shockey were part of the sold-out crowd, as was actor Michael Douglas for the second straight night. ... About 57,000 people went to a pair of sold-out sports events three miles apart in Miami on Wednesday night, with Heat-Thunder going on not far from the first official baseball game in the history of Marlins Park. ... Thunder guard Derek Fisher and Heat guard James Jones ? both NBPA officers who spent much of the offseason dealing with the lockout ? exchanged greetings at halftime.

PPC Online Advertising - Southern Utah Web Hosting

PPC search engine marketing is a method used for Online Advertising, where the advertisers pay their host only when their advertisements are clicked by the internet users. This is a great method for any social media agency, who might maintain great online reputation, to be certain that their advertisements are being watched by the internet users. As a result, the internet users will be informed about the products the companies have to offer and therefore there is a high chance of people picking up their products. Another great advantage of PPC search engine marketing is that it is targeted at people who are most likely to buy the product.

For example, the latest sports games are advertised on websites, which telecast sports news. Therefore, there is a high chance of internet visitors who are viewing the sports news online are interested in sports games. PPC search engine marketing is a very effective way of advertising as well as online advertising. There is no money burned on advertising, which is not viewed by anyone, and online reputation is kept strong.

Cost of advertising in PPC search engine marketing starts from about five cents per click and could increase, according to the size and the appearance of one?s advertisement. The more appealing ones advertisement is the more money the search engine would charge. This form of marketing is also very important when a product manufactured from a specific company cannot be found when an internet user types a specific keyword in the search engine and it does not direct the user to the specific product of the manufacturer. Thus when using PPC search engine marketing , the internet user is informed about the manufacturers product even though it does not exactly match the keywords typed by the viewer.

There are two ways in which PPC search engines can be used to gain maximum profit. One method is high-end strategy, which is usually used to compete with major competitors. The premium strategy is where the manufacturers utilize the engines, which are very popular, thus more people would visit that site and the advertisements put up on that sited will receive a lot of publicity. Adding an advertisement on these websites is expensive, that is pay per click is costly when compared to that of the other less popular web sites.

The other type of PPC search engine marketing is called the lower cost strategy. Here, the advertisements are made in such a way to show the advertisement when typing a particular unique phrase. Therefore, phrases as such receive less traffic. When making a low cost strategy, it is important that the specific phrase used in the advertisements carefully coincides with the popular phrases used by the internet users. Your social media agency, if you have one, will figure this out for you. This way one spends less money on advertising his software using PPC search engine marketing.
