Business Wire, June 16, 2004

WHAT:   Friday, July 16, 2004, will mark the first anniversary of the
        Santa Monica Farmers' Market tragedy that occurred in Santa
        Monica, CA.

        On behalf of its eleven clients, the Santa Monica, CA. law
        firm of Greene, Broillet, Panish & Wheeler, LLP was the first
        to contend that both the City of Santa Monica and the Bayside
        District Corporation were negligent and reckless in conducting
        and regulating the weekly Wednesday Santa Monica Farmers'
        Market. It also alleges that the City of Santa Monica's and
        Bayside District Corporation's acts or failures to act created
        the dangerous conditions that enabled George Russell Weller to
        drive his car unimpeded through the heart of the market,
        killing ten people and injuring at least 63 others on the
        afternoon of July 16, 2003.

WHO:    Greene Broillet partners Brian J. Panish, Timothy J. Wheeler
        and Geoffrey S. Wells represent Sandra Ellen Bacal, Sara
        Dobbins, Benny Gong, Holley Hankinson, Ilona Lettrich, Anthony
        Portillo, Dina Richter, and Olivia Wun for their personal
        injury claims arising out of the July 16, 2003, Santa Monica
        Farmers' Market tragedy. They also represent Frank McCarthy
        and Ana Maria McCarthy, the brother and sister of Kevin
        McCarthy (deceased); Bertha Lattier, the mother of Leroy
        Lattier (deceased); and Benny and Maggie Gong, parents of
        Diana Gong McCarthy (deceased).

INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES:

        Our clients are available to discuss their thoughts and
        feelings about what has happened to them over the past year
        since the tragedy. And, our partners are available to discuss
        the merits of the claims against the City of Santa Monica and
        Bayside District Corporation.

        Interviews can be arranged by contacting Kathy Pinckert.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
