Boaters Make Successful Descent of L.A. River in 52-mile Los Angeles River Expedition
A eclectic group of Angelenos successfully navigated kayaks and canoes down the full length of the 52-mile L.A. River (from headwaters to estuary) as part of the first-ever Los Angeles River Expedition 2008. The three-day exploratory expedition demonstrated that the whole river merits a determination as a "traditional navigable water" -- which would entitle the river to the highest standards of federal clean water protections under the Clean Water Act. The Army Corps of Engineers, however, still maintains that only 4 miles of the entire river can be considered traditionally navigable waters, and that boats are not allowed in the LA River, despite California public trust laws that do not support that notion. LA County considers the river a...

Orange County, California Recruitment Company Embraces Part-Time Working Mother Business Model
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2007 -- Decision Toolbox (http://www.dtoolbox.com) employee Heidi Webster is a working mom who knows the benefits of working part-time from her virtual home office in Centreville, Virginia. She is the mother of three children - a five year-old, three-old and a newborn only eight weeks old.
"I love the flexibility because I don't start my day until noon on the East Coast since the company is on the West Coast. I can have the balance of spending quality time with my kids in the morning and then work all afternoon until my husband gets home and relieves our nanny from her duties," said Webster, a recruiter for Decision Toolbox, a leading recruitment company based in Irvine, California.
According to the results of a national survey released by The Pew Research Center (http://www.pewresearch.org) last week, six in 10 working mothers said part-time jobs would be their ideal, up from 48 percent in 1997. "I feel this is a true reading of where people are at, what they think is best for their children, and how to juggle their responsibilities as a parent and worker," states Pew researcher Cary Funk.
"Nearly 20 percent of our employees work part-time," said Kim Shepherd, CEO of Decision Toolbox (http://www.dtoolbox.com). "Work-life balance is critical in building a strong and lasting corporate culture. Nothing will retain top talent more than creating an environment where your employees are recognized as people who deserve to be respected, understood and honored."
