Sacramento Bee and DOL,
Of these ads - CNS and Metalink - only the two Metalink ads have a strong possibility of being fake RIR ads. But CNS is suspicious in their own ways, as explained below.
Since the Bee has an editorial position in support of continuing to flooding the job market with H-1B workers, I am waiting to hear your position on the fake ads that you are running - defrauding your readers into believing they represent actual job openings.
Archive of these emails is here: www.programmersguild.org/RIR/
The webpage also contains a list of the 1000 LCAs that the DOL granted in FY 2004 for the Sacramento Region. The Sacramento Bee's editorial position seems to be that even more of these jobs should be given away:

I'm waiting for the Bee to disclose what influence Compete America had over their 7/30/2004 editorial.
Sincerely,
Kim Berry 916 213-0492

CNS advertises for two openings. The odd thing about their ad is the requirement for 7+ years experience, for skills in technologies like ASP.NET, XML, C#, UML - that are only a few years old. The same jobs and requirements are also on their website: http://www.cns-service.com/employment.shtml
I spot-reviewed their job openings on their website via web.archive.org. From 2000 through January 2004 (the most recent archive), none of their ads ever required several years of experience. They typically read as in the box below. When did they suddenly only need candidates with 7+ years of experience?
These ads are suspicious. But I don't find any LCAs under this company name.
