http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29355028In a 12-3 vote, the council approved the rise for hotels with more than 300 rooms on 1 July 2015 and for hotels with more than 150 rooms a year later.
The new wage floor would be one of the highest in the US.
It was opposed by the hotel industry, which said it would force worker redundancies. Mayor Eric Garcetti has said he will sign the bill into law.
Under the measure passed on Wednesday, the minimum could be temporarily waived for hotels facing bankruptcy or imminent closure. Hotels with unionised workers could also be exempt if minimum wages are defined in collective bargaining agreements.
It is unclear how many workers the rise will affect. An earlier study, based on a threshold of 125 rooms, estimated the number at 13,000 employees, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.
Because the vote was not unanimous, the council will take a second vote next week in order to pass it formally. Go ahead, start crying.

So, my softball teammate's daughter has a crush on me. Which is whatever, I don't care. She's always sitting next to me at games, like, uncomfortably close. Laughing at everything I say. Trying to touch me whenever she gets the chance. How do I politely tell her that I'm not interested?

This week I have something special.
I have a pack of games that includes:
- Darksiders
- Red Faction: Armageddon
- Red Faction: Armageddon Path to War DLC
- Metro 2033
- Company of Heroes
- Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
- Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
Here's how this one works. If you want a chance to win, post a number between 1 and 10. One entry per user. No, you may not edit or change your choice.
After all 10 numbers have been claimed, I'll pull a random number, and the user that picked that number gets the whole lot. I will also post a video of the number drawing, in case anyone disputes the choice. Winner will have two Steam keys PM'd to them; one including all the of the games, and one for the Red Faction DLC
Warning - if you already own any of these games, the key for these games may not work for you, citing that you already have (x) game in your library.
Have at it!

I have two labs, the older of the two has had some health problems over the last year, and they finally caught up with her last night. We took her to the emergency vet and they said it's best if we put her down, since there wasn't really anything they could do. It's sad, but she had a good life. She was 14, which is a pretty good age for a dog. The house just feels a little emptier.

 A Christian who battered his cross-dressing gay teenage flatmate in his sleep and left a claw hammer embedded in his brain has been sent to a high security hospital after being found guilty of attempted murder.
Connor Huntley suffered ‘life-changing’ injuries and a chunk of his skull was removed after the brutal homophobic attack in the house he shared with Joseph Williams.
His 21-year-old attacker was sentenced to 14 years in prison at the Old Bailey today, with the judge saying it was only the skill of medics who prevented Mr Huntley from dying.
Williams, who came from a Catholic background, had previously made disparaging remarks about gay men, whilst in contrast Mr Huntley was openly gay and often wore women’s clothes and make-up.
The court heard Williams picked up a hammer and went into the bedroom of his sleeping flatmate, who was just 18 at the time, in Margate on May 28 last year. [ link] Holy shit, some people are despicable human beings.

Let us, for a moment, pretend that is true. Assuming there were two humans created to begin the human race, at what rate would they have to reproduce in order for there to be 7 billion people now?

An atheist airman at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada was denied reenlistment last month for refusing to take an oath containing “so help me God,” the American Humanist Association said Thursday.
And in a Sept. 2 letter to the inspectors general for the Air Force and Creech, Monica Miller, an attorney with the AHA’s Apignani Humanist Legal Center, said the airman should be allowed to reenlist without having to swear to a deity, and instead given a secular oath. Miller said the AHA is prepared to sue if the airman is not allowed to reenlist.
According to the AHA, the unnamed airman was told Aug. 25 that the Air Force would not accept his contract because he had crossed out the phrase “so help me God.” The airman was told his only options were to sign the religious oath section of the contract without adjustment and recite an oath concluding with “so help me God,” or leave the Air Force, the AHA said.
That is unconstitutional and unacceptable, the AHA said.
“The government cannot compel a nonbeliever to take an oath that affirms the existence of a supreme being,” Miller said. “Numerous cases affirm that atheists have the right to omit theistic language from enlistment or reenlistment contracts.”
[...]
Air Force Instruction 36-2606 spells out the active-duty oath of enlistment, which all airmen must take when they enlist or reenlist and ends with “so help me God.” The old version of that AFI included an exception: “Note: Airmen may omit the words ‘so help me God,’ if desired for personal reasons.”
That language was dropped in an Oct. 30, 2013, update to the AFI. The relevant section of that AFI now only lists the active-duty oath of enlistment, without giving airmen any option to choose not to swear an oath to a deity.
“Reciting ‘So help me God’ in the reenlistment and commissioning oaths is a statutory requirement under Title 10 USC 502,” Air Force spokeswoman Rose Richeson said Thursday. AFI 36-2606 “is consistent with the language mandated in 10 USC 502. Paragraph 5.6 [and] was changed in October 2013 to reflect the aforementioned statutory requirement and airmen are no longer authorized to omit the words ‘So help me God.’ ”
The Air Force said it cannot change its AFI to make “so help me God” optional unless Congress changes the statute mandating it. [ link] Good job...
