Urban Adonia is Dr. Adonia E. Lugo, a Los Angeles-based street anthropologist. I am currently teaching in the Urban Sustainability MA program at Antioch University Los Angeles and the Chicana/o Studies department at Cal State LA, writing a book for Microcosm Publishing, co-editing a book about bike justice for Routledge, and consulting on culture change with Bicicultures. I am also an advisory board member with Multicultural Communities for Mobility. You can contact me at adonia at urbanadonia dot com.
I use bicycling, walking, and riding transit as embodied methods for observing the racialized and classed power dynamics of urban space. My approach draws on the tradition of flânerie
and the Situationist International's call for political action in
public space, blended with feminist critical theory's situated knowledge. Our social positions influence what we consider normal in street life, and much of my own perspective developed through my confusing experiences growing up as an English-speaking, mixed, Mexican-American kid in the immigrant enclave of a suburban California town where racism still shapes residential patterns. Today I am an urban anthropologist, which means
I study the conflicting, complex ways that people inhabit cities and streets. I believe that cross-cultural understanding and respect for diverse realities are central to furthering urban sustainability.
In my 2013 dissertation, "Body-City-Machines: Human Infrastructure for Bicycling in Los Angeles," I analyzed the history of L.A. bike activism and my own role as a participant in it. The concept of "human infrastructure" is something I found in urban ethnography and anthropological theory. These works illustrated how the materiality of individual actions, social networks, and cultural attitudes can be revealed in situations where physical infrastructures fail. Los Angeles, a city known for its love of the automobile, provided a fascinating lab for experimenting with the social networks and multiple urbanisms (especially Latin@ urbanism) that have started to grow bicycling beyond niche subcultures into a normal mode of transport there.
I am a critical bike scholar, which means my work is not centered in praising bicycling. Different people experience bicycling in positive and negative ways because bicycling takes place through bodies subject to the hierarchies of our society. I research bicycling because it is a useful site for studying the racial and class distinctions that we express through dominating or sharing streets.
From 2008 till 2011, I lived carfree as an engaged researcher studying
and organizing bicycle projects in L.A. For most of that time, I
lived at the Los Angeles Eco-Village, which had been an important hub for central L.A.'s bike social life since the 1990s.
Inspired by a trip to Bogotá, Colombia in August 2008, I helped
start the effort to organize a ciclovía in Los Angeles, and served as
the board secretary of CicLAvia until January 2011. I also co-founded
the City of Lights/ Ciudad de Luces project at the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition that connected day laborer
cyclists with bike advocacy. In 2012, City of Lights transformed into Multicultural Communities for Mobility.
In Seattle, where I lived from 2011 to 2013, I conducted interviews for the Seattle Bike Justice Project sponsored by Bike Works and Washington Bikes. In 2012, I also helped start Bicicultures,
a network of scholars researching bicycling's many social and cultural
forms. Bicicultures explores ways to bring bicycle advocacy, research,
and communities into the same conversation.
I received a BA in anthropology from Reed College in Portland, OR in 2005, an MA in anthropology from UC Irvine in 2010, and a PhD in anthropology from UC Irvine in 2013. I managed the Equity Initiative at the League of American Bicyclists from November 2013 to March 2015. You can learn more about what I was doing and why I left here.
With my collaborator Dr. Sarah McCullough, I am turning Bicicultures into a research practice where we deploy our networked understanding of mobility to develop cultural adaptation strategies. Our method uses culturally appropriate interventions to spread sustainable practices.

Good Monday Everyone!
Here is an excerpt from my book Extraordinary Parent. It is now available online at Amazon, Barns and Nobles and it can be requested at your local books store and library.
"Being happy is so important. I could write a whole book on being happy. We do not comprehend at times that we affect more than our selves when we are not happy. Our children know when we are not happy.
There was a point in my life when I was so unhappy with myself and the world. Not that things were so terrible, but I just was not happy with myself. I was not able to give my children the attention and support they needed, because I did not have the "energy". I made every excuse in the book to be alone. I did not want to be bothered. But one day, I was so tired of feeling that way. I couldn't do it anymore.
I felt the responsibility of raising my girls by myself. I mean I really felt it. It felt like too much, like I could not do it. One day, I told God I was tired and I did not want to feel this way anymore. That day, my life changed, and I have never allowed myself to go back to that place. I started to pick myself up.
I began to see that I could do this. I could handle it. I was not alone. I did have people who loved and supported me. I loved my girls and wanted them to have an enjoyable childhood. So I began to surround myself with the positive things that I saw every day. It was like someone began to shine a flashlight in a dark room. I realized that I have the ability to raise my girls, be successful, live my dreams, and enjoy my life. How? I decided to make the best of it all. It was not about me anymore. I had two little girls depending on me — who needed me as much as I needed them.
We are parents. We provide the love, care, and support that our children need. It is not an easy job, but we can do this. I support you because I understand your struggles. I support you, because we can do this! We will be extraordinary parents!"

Congrats on all the unbelievable pictures that have been captured. However, recent news stories about lions attacking tourists at open safaris in South Africa still bring to light the dangers that many people find themselves without even realizing it.
I am a scuba diver myself and I thought I would share some equipment that gives me some peace of mind while taking those deep dives into the unkown. I would suggest looking at sharktecdefense.com and please if anyone else has some other safety advice, share away!

Bind-mounted root fs not safely handled on shutdown

This means that / is left mounted RW on shutdown and we experience some disk corruption here and there.

The Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 is the most popular Tarpon ever. The Tarpon 120 is a versatile sit-on-top that offers stunning performance for surf play, ponds, lakes, and bays. The Phase 3 AirPro seating system adds comfort and easy adjustability. An exceptionally large rear bungee tankwell allows for storage of any gear needed for long hauls while the two hatches provide dry storage below the deck. For 2015, the footbraces have been upgraded to the Keepers XL system which offers a larger trigger and adds 5" of rail length. The Tarpon 120 kayak is known for offering excellent glide and maneuverability, and great versatility for its trim size.

|Number of Paddlers:
|1 - Single/Solo
|Type of Kayak:
|Sit on Top
|Hatches Incl:

This is the third tarpon 120 that I have purchased from ACK in the last 4 years. ACK prices and customer service are outstanding and everybody loves these kayaks! Seat comfort, gear storage, versatility and additional features are perfect, and the improved footpegs on the 2015 are a nice improvement. Knowledgeable and helpful staff have been great when questions arise and as I purchased additional items.
I have only used the 2015 Tarpon 120 for 3 or 4 outings so far, but it's a great yak. It has more speed and much better tracking than my old Tarpon 100. Compared to my fathers Ride 115 (also 2015), the Tarpon 120 still tracks considerably better and is slightly faster. The Tarpon 120 is stable enough to sit side saddle comfortably and with practice you can even stand up to look for structure under water that might hold bass. Fishing while standing is a different story though...The in hull storage seems more than sufficient and easy to use, but a 230 cm spare paddle (in halves) won't fit inside the bow hatch if you were wondering. My 230 cm paddle fits well in the tank well though. Overall this is a great yak of all trades. If you fish both rivers and lakes the Tarpon 120 is excellent.

can i sue my accountant if i get audited?
Last year I bought a land with a friend, using a trust name. After selling off the land and closing the deal, my friend suggested that my account is "too expensive" and that his wife has a friend who is an accountant who will 'look after us' (my a-ss).
Anyway, when the bill came it was like 3 x the price of my accountant!
Plus, this accountant friend of his can;t speak proper english and can only speak mandrin. PLUS, she did not give us proper advice as to how to negative gear with the trust, and the way she recorded it made it not legit for us to claim tax deduction. (We took the loan in our personal name, and the property in the trust name. But this accountant didnt record us buying units in the trust, therefore we cant negative gear with out personal name).
After I spoke to my accountant, he said he could get it fixed for me to claim tax deduction on the interest paid, provided I issue a notice to the other accountant to make ammendments to the trust tax return. Well, I have been trying to chase her to ammend it, and she said it wasn't her fault that she recorded it that way. I said she did not give us proper advice, but she said we signed the tax return. I said you are the accountant you should tell us the correct way to do this, she said she thinks this is the right way to do it.
If I get audited can I take legal action against that accountant?

My question is: how on earth can she be licenced as a Tax Agent in Australia if she can't speak English???
oh she can speak english, but i dont understand her cos the grammar was all over the place. I'm asian too but it was really hard communicating with her in english, she didn't understand what I said when I explained to her what my accountant wanted her to do.
Even my friend told me to speak to her in mandrin cos "she can't speak english".
Now thinking about it I am not sure if she is registered CPA or not

Now the summary is:
-Chinese accountant screws up
-My own accountant try to help me claim tax deduction, provided I ask the chinese accountant to fix up the trust statement/report.
-I asked chinese accountant to change the report
-She said ok over the phone and asked me to email the info, but then later doesn't reply to my email when I provide her with the info. Sort of like disappeared. ( I have a copy of my emails requesting her to ammend it).
-If I get audited, who the heck gets the cane?
-Can I complain to some accountant institute?
_If she says ok to change it and asks me to pay more, should I????

I like the way Snrub thinks!
Id be rechecking the paperwork your accountant gave you for signing..You may well find you have signed all responsibility or liabilities off the accountant.
Worth a check.
Cheers, Rick...
Want to Build a Multi-$Million Property Portfolio, Quit Work and Retire Early?
Here's all my tools I used to do exactly that - Yours FREE to download now.
We got an accountant. His wife told us is her friend, and 'she can do it, she has handled trusts and company tax returns before'.
How was I suppose to know if she could do it or not before she does it?
are you saying if an accountant, lawyer or architect or engineer doesn't perform, it's my fault for getting their service in the first place? If they screw up, don't they have Professional Indemnity Insurance? What about those Insitutes that regulate these professions? "Serve you right Mr consumer, getting the wrong accountant/architect/engineer is all your fault"?
I know personal responsiblity has its place, but if say an engineer screw you up and building fell down you gonna go "it's my fault, i did it"???

The name of this thread should be "I am having a tiff with my accountant and want to vent".
I'd have doubts about an accountant who couldn't speak English well enough. Tax Returns are in english, our tax laws and rulings are in English as well. I think it would be prudent here to use some Latin - Caveat Emptor.
Besides, this is so easy to fix. Get your accountant a copy of the tax return and get him/her to fix it. Amending a trust return can be done in 5 minutes tops.
Just not very well.
"Money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you a yacht large enough to pull up right alongside it"...............David Lee Roth
I understand your frustration, I know what it's like to work with people who aren't right for the job at hand. Even though I was told by people that these particular 'professionals' were the right people for the job. You know what, I learnt two very important things from the experience.
1. Look at who is giving you the advice. Interview them. Ask them how much experience they have dealing with the issues that you will be facing. After all they are working for you. Ask the right questions. Get enough of an understanding of your structure to be able to ask the right questions. How is your team supposed to do the best job they can helping you when you don't know enough about your project yourself? Relying exclusively on your employees for optimal results only leads to trouble.
2. Never blame anyone else for choices you make. It gets you nowhere and you will probably miss the valuable lesson behind what happened. Suck it up and take it like a man and look at what you did wrong. If you had gotten an accountant who you were confident knew what they were doing and demonstrated to you beforehand that they did know what they were doing and asked the right questions, then maybe everything would have been fine.
Using an accountant that your friend's wife recommended ended up being bad mojo. Why take a recommendation from someone who probably has little knowledge of what it was you were trying to accomplish. That's like taking advice on property from a taxi driver who doesn't even own his own home.
I like the way Snrub thinks!
i have to agree mark. my english bad but advisors very good. some qcs and all qualified. all speak good english unlike me. why you go to accountant and not ask questions. first interview you know they speak poor english. then ask about hybrids and they do not know. i agree with mark. you not do your due diligence properly. so you to blame. bad service in the end but you should have asked lots of questions at beginning. glad you not in development because you go belly up. need to ask lots of questions before you make commitments. write it off as bad experience and move on.
Thanks all,
but firstly I wasn't in the country and my business partner in Melbourne took care of selecting the accountant and managing the stuff.
So it wasnt me who selected that accountant either.
NOw my business partner has quit, Im the only director left in the company/trust.
You dont need an accountant to make amendments to a tax return.
You can do it yourself.
The accountant is just acting as your agent.
As MRy said, just get your new accountant to do what is required and the matter is done. I cant see any legal connection bewteen the old and new accountant
One thing I find very difficult is that I may give my Accountant figures that I know to be accurate. Then the accountant does 'things' with them, like the depreciation amounts etc etc at varying percentages. I rarely fully understand the reports I am expected to sign; I have to trust the accountant that he has got the figures correct because I dont have the software to check them; yet I am the one responsible for the signing.
I think selecting an accountant, is much like selecting a lawyer, GP, mechanic, plumber, electrician, hairdresser, dentist, depreciator, etc. They are all casual employees of mine. I choose them very carefully, as I don't have much knowledge in their respective areas of expertise, and they are not cheap employees. I need them to run various parts of my life...with minimal supervision. I need to be able to rely on them to do a great job.
So I see my life as a corporation. I'm the Managing Director, they are my department heads (and they have their own staff). Selecting these experts takes time, like it does to select any other staff member. I generally do the traditional interview and have a huge list of questions I ask them. I ask for a personal resume and references (and I check the references).
I make it quite clear that I'm the boss and I'm going to be relying on their expertise and experience to do my work. If they do a good job, I will recommend them to all and sundry (free advertising and referrals for them). In return I will pay my accounts promptly. If they do a bad job, they will get the sack and be smartly replaced.
I had occasion to sack my accountant last year. She was replaced within a month. I did a lot of background checking on my new accountant before he was employed. He's now left the firm he was with, and I'm just going to follow him to his new employer. I've invested a lot of time and effort with him, as he has with me. We have developed an excellent and very honest working relationship...not going to pass that up too quickly. He is my valued employee.
Taking Responsibility
This thread is a good example of why you must not hand over total responsibility to your adviser's be it accountant, Solicitor or business partner. Blaming or suing someone else is wasted energy. Learn from your mistakes so that you are never again financially compromised.

In the spring of 2009, the Medical Direction and Practice Board (MDPB) requested that that a survey be designed to collect feedback on the PIFT program. PIFT was revised in July 2005 and the MDPB felt it was an appropriate time to ask PIFT Providers, Service Directors, and Service Medical Director for their feedback on the revised program.
In April 2009 a survey on the PIFT program was sent to all PIFT EMS Services,PIFT Service Medical Directors and PIFT Providers. The web based survey platform Survey Monkey was used for the survey.

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Britain's Tony Bellew and Malawi's Isaac Chilemba fought to a 12-round draw in their world light-heavyweight title eliminator Saturday night.
Bellew, who lost to WBO champion Nathan Cleverly in 2011 in his previous shot at a world title, appeared to have done enough in his home ring despite rarely getting through Chilemba's resilient defense and he looked the more disappointed by the decision.
Chilemba started sluggishly but finished the stronger of the two fighters, although neither went down or was hit with a big shot.
Bellew is 19-1-1 and Chilemba 20-1-2.

Apple have made a lot of changes lately, where a lot of their old stuff is no longer available. It seems 10.7 has disappeard and replaced by the latest 10.8.
The 10.6 snow leopard DVD was available only last month from online, but no longer. Rumour has it that it can be ordered by ringing an Apple Store.
However before you start this process, of first gettting the 10.6 DVD, then updating to 10.6.8 to access the mac App Store so you can downloading 10.8, work out in advance how much RAM this MacBook can have fitted to it because I'd say 4 GB and no less.
So be mindful of, your Macbook's RAM status/potential.
If you can jump through all of those hoops you'd get a job at a circus.

90% Of Companies Use Microsoft® Excel® In Compensation Process
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While many compensation professionals use point solutions and enterprise systems (e.g., Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP), by far the most popular tool for salary structure design (89%) is spreadsheet applications, according to a 2012 WorldatWork/Deloitte Consulting study. With a vast majority of companies using Microsoft Excel in their compensation process, WorldatWork has introduced several Excel practical application courses and resources to help compensation professionals manage and analyze high volumes of data. One of the courses, Excel Skills for Compensation Professionals, will be presented live in seven cities in April, in addition to the regular online blended learning format. For a class description and requirements, visit http://bit.ly/W60m2EExcel Skills for Compensation Professionals is one of four WorldatWork training courses and resources that assist compensation professionals with their day-to-day tasks in Excel, including Excel Tips for Compensation Professionals, Excel Dashboards: A How-to for Compensation Professionals, and Quantitative Principles in Compensation Management. "There are many powerful yet underutilized tools in Excel that will benefit every compensation professional," said Kerry Chou, a Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) and practice leader at WorldatWork. "With many organizations understaffed, harnessing the power of Excel will maximize productivity and enhance the quantity and quality of data analyses." While the regular online blended learning format is available year-round, Excel Skills for Compensation Professionals will be taught live in a classroom environment only this April by Dianne Auld, CCP, GRP, CSCP, from Cape Town, South Africa. Auld is a WorldatWork faculty member and a reviewer for WorldatWork Journal. Highly regarded as an expert in the compensation field and Excel, Auld's skills and expertise are in high demand, and her classes tend to sell out quickly. "Knowing the right techniques can save you not just hours but days of time," said Auld. "Compensation professionals who are not using Excel pivot tables, for example, are probably spending twice as much time on analyses."

Sierra: No funds used to bring senator to campus
Sierra College officials and the president of the political science club that recently hosted a political awareness event on campus are maintaining that no taxpayer dollars were used to bring Sen. Darrell Steinberg to speak to students about voting and Proposition 30 last week.
Diane Foster, vice president of the Auburn Area Republican Women Federated, has questioned whether or not Steinberg violated government or education code when he came to campus last week.
Greg Harnage, president of the Sierra College Political Science Club, said Monday the state senator was not paid to come to campus for the club's Political Awareness Day last Tuesday. Steinberg spoke in Dietrich Theater on the college's Rocklin campus.
"We did not pay him. One of our club members suggested having him come and speak when we mentioned wanting a closing speaker, so she was able to fulfill that request for us," Harnage said.
Mark Hedlund, communications director for Steinberg, said the senator drove himself to Sierra College for the event and that he was there to speak on the importance of voting.
"It was not any kind of a rally for any candidates or ballot propositions or anything else," Hedlund said.
Foster said she attended last week's event on an invitation from Sierra. She said she was bothered that a follow up speaker was not lined up after Steinberg to offer the students a different perspective on Proposition 30, which the senator touted and told students to vote for in the upcoming election.
Proposition 30, or the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act, would increase the state sales tax to 7.5 percent and imposes tax increases on those who make more than $250,000 annually. The funds generated from Proposition 30 would go toward public education at all levels, including community colleges.
Foster said in an email to the Journal that she thinks Steinberg violated Government Code 8314, which states that it is unlawful for any elected state official to use or permit others to use state resources for campaign activity. She also named Education Code 7054, which states that no public funding, services or supplies can be used to urge the support or defeat of any ballot measure. She has not filed a violation regarding the matter.
Paul Berger, president of the Auburn Democrats, agrees that another speaker offering a different perspective should have been lined up, but also said anything that makes young voters aware of the issues is positive for the upcoming election.
"I think college campuses should encourage politicians to come speak to students because there's a lot of apathy out there today and anything they can do to get students involved in the political process is a good thing," Berger said.
"Please, get out and vote for Proposition 30. Your education and the education of those coming up behind you is depending on it," Steinberg said at the event last Tuesday.
Diane Wright, spokesperson for Sierra College, said invitations for the political awareness event were sent out to representatives on all ends of the political spectrum. At a fair before Steinberg's speech, representatives for and against multiple propositions were in attendance, along with Placer County democrats, republicans, libertarians, Tea Party, and other political organizations from surrounding areas.
No representative for a "No" vote on Proposition 30 was at the event, but Wright said an invitation was sent to a "No on 30" campaign.
"In a college one of the goals professors should have is to develop independent thinking for students, not brainwash them," Foster said.
Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, a conservative organization that focuses on tax law, is against Proposition 30 because he views it was just another way to get tax hikes passed through threatening public education and that visits to colleges campuses by politicians is one more way to make that threat.
"If students skirted the rules on their exams the way politicians are they would be expelled," Vosburgh said.
Tim Bittle, staff attorney with Howard Jarvis, said no matter a candidate's position on an issue, if they're brought into a public institution and no public funds are used no laws have been broken.
"They can certainly take a position on measures in their own free time and campaign for them; they don't give up their first amendment rights because they take office," Bittle said. "If the college provided the PA system and spent money to promote the event then that could present a problem."
Sue Michaels, marketing and public relations director for Sierra College, said on Monday that the college provided the theater for Steinberg to speak with no charge to the political science club, but that "it did not cost more than opening the doors."
"We always support our clubs when they have events as long as they are not illegal or incite violence in any way," Michaels said.
Wright said under Sierra College Administrative Procedure 5400, student organizations, like the political science club, "act independently of the institution" and that a club's activities "may be political or religious in nature with no relationship to the district."
"The reason they are able to do what they did is because they are a student club rather than an event being held by the district," Wright said. "Students have the right to free speech, so that gives them an opening the district and us employees would not have."

CECIL HURT: SEC not in top form, still best league

So the season has ended, and The Streak ended with it.

Florida State finally snapped the Southeastern Conference's long run of dominance in the BCS National Championship Game. But, in doing so, did the Seminoles "prove" that SEC superiority is a myth? Has the SEC been eclipsed? Should the SEC logo be buried beneath a modest headstone in some semi-weedy cemetery, mourned only by the immediate family?
Such a ceremony would be premature.
Florida State is the champion, fair and square. The Seminoles beat Auburn, the SEC champ, which, despite all the "miracle" talk, deserved the title. FSU is a deserving champion, but not a dominant one. The Seminoles battled Auburn on roughly the same terms as several SEC teams did, but made one more drive, one more defensive stop, one more 102-yard kickoff return. Auburn had its chances and didn't capitalize on them all.
Unlike some recent BCS title games, though, one didn't sense this was a mismatch. Florida State was very good, but the SEC contains a few very good teams which, on a given Saturday, perhaps on their home field, could have given the Seminoles a run. There were still four SEC teams among the nation's top seven (AU, Alabama, Missouri and South Carolina).
There were more that weren't that far off, except for circumstances. A healthier Georgia, perhaps, or a more consistently motivated LSU, or Texas A&M, whose quarterback gave it a puncher's chance against anyone in a single-game setting. Is that saying all those teams were as good as FSU? Of course not. Could they all have given FSU a good game, as opposed to a diet of guaranteed blowouts? I think so.
There were some other teams around the country that could have as well: Michigan State, Oregon when clicking as well as quacking, Oklahoma in its end-of-the-year form. Clemson had its chance and imploded, and Ohio State ultimately didn't quite measure up, but throw it in, too, if you must. FSU had a better year than all of them. But it didn't appear so far ahead as to elevate the entire ACC, which was mediocre.
Ultimately, the SEC was probably the best league in 2013, although the Pac-12 was close, and the Big 12 was probably next. (That league is only going to be great, though, when Oklahoma and Texas are both great.) Florida State was the best team, but the ACC was soggy in the middle and wretched at the bottom, and that is acknowledging that Kentucky and Arkansas didn't wow anyone, either.
The problem for the SEC going forward, though, is this: People are tired of hearing it. Maybe the FSU win will be salve for everyone. Maybe the SEC supporters won't be quite as arrogant and the backlash against them won't be quite as strong and the playoff committee members won't feel quite so much pressure to even things out by making it impossible for any league to get more than one representative in the football final four.
If you insist on calling this a "down year" for the SEC, go ahead. Maybe it was. But don't be too quick to think it was the start of a trend and not a momentary blip that Auburn came very close to averting altogether.

Everyone knows people who wouldn't dream of going to the movies by themselves. Or out to dinner. Or to a party. Or to the beach. Or you name it.
The advantages of a partnership are clear: shared work, shared financial burdens, and shared risk. Partners may also bring talents and expertise into the business that sole proprietors may not have alone. All good stuff.
There are disadvantages, too. Sharing responsibilities, control over the company, and profits and losses can be more complicated and difficult than going it alone.
Here are some major factors to consider when deciding whether a general partnership is the best way to structure your business.
There are a few different kinds of business partnerships. They vary in legal structure depending whether – or how – the liability of partners can be limited. Here, we're touching only on the basics of forming a general partnership.
A general partnership is a business (that is not a corporate entity) that is owned by two or more people. Under state law, general partnerships have specific attributes:
A partnership must obtain business licenses when necessary. Not all businesses are regulated or require a license to operate in Minnesota. To find out if the business you're considering requires a license, certification or permit, visit the License Minnesota website.
Partnerships must also obtain federal and state tax identification numbers; an unemployment insurance employer account number; and may need to register the business name as an Assumed Name, unless the first and last name of each partner is included in the name of the partnership.
Although the partnership itself is not a taxable entity, it must file an annual federal and state "information" return with the Internal Revenue Service and the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
For this reason, both federal and state tax identification numbers must be obtained. A partnership that will be selling a product or service that is subject to sales tax also will need to register for purposes of Minnesota sales and use tax.
Obtain the federal employer identification number first. You do it by filing Form SS-4 with the Internal Revenue Service. Download Form SS-4 and the SS-4 Instructions.
You may apply for a Minnesota Tax ID number online, by phone or by filing form ABR -Application for Business Registration with the Minnesota Department of Revenue. To apply online, you'll need your federal Employer ID Number (EIN)/Federal Taxpayer ID Number (FTIN), (Social Security Number in some cases); your legal name; the name of the business (Certificate of Assumed Name if applicable); business owner/owners name; business owner/owners social security number; contact name and email address; NAICS (North American Industry Classification Code); and the business begin date.
Like marriages, business partnerships can be happy, productive, and last for decades. They can be turbulent, fraught with difficulty and end unhappily. Or they can be a little bit of both.
Of course, the success of any business partnership depends on the skills of the partners and how well they work together to manage the challenges they face.
But the foundation of that success is laid with a rock-solid partnership agreement that spells out the key managerial and operational details of the business. This is not a handshake arrangement or a verbal agreement, but a carefully thought-out, formalized, written document.
The partnership agreement addresses a number of issues relating to the management and operation of the partnership. In drawing up the partnership agreement, each of the prospective partners should consult with legal counsel to assure their needs and relevant legal issues are addressed. Some of the issues typically addressed in a partnership agreement include:
Remember, it is impossible to pay too much attention to the partnership agreement when forming your business partnership. Also, nothing we cover here should be taken as business or legal advice. It's not. And it's no substitute for the professional guidance of a lawyer or accountant.
Consultants at our Small Business Assistance Office can help you understand more about partnerships. And our network of Small Business Development Centers has experts located in nine main regional offices and several satellite centers statewide.
For a comprehensive look at partnerships, see our Guide to Starting a Business in Minnesota . Available for download in PDF, formatted for e-readers, or available in print (all free of charge), the book covers the major issues, questions and concerns about business startups.

Rising energy and gold stocks pushed the Toronto stock market slightly higher Wednesday.
The S&P/TSX composite index edged up 2.27 points to 14,964.64 with the American economy in focus.
The final revision to American economic growth in the first quarter showed that gross domestic product shrank a greater than expected 2.9 per cent. That was larger than the two per cent contraction economists had expected. However, the decline in performance was due in large part to severe winter weather and the damage to the economy was expected to be short-lived.
"Given the influence of temporary factors in Q1, growth should charge back to a 3.8 per cent pace in Q2 as inventory investment bounces back and as spending on consumer goods and business investment re-accelerates," said BMO Capital Markets economist Aaron Goertzen.
The Canadian dollar ticked up 0.17 of a cent to 93.25 cents (U.S.) as the greenback weakened in the wake of the data.
Other data showed that U.S. durable goods orders fell one per cent during May, against an expected one per cent gain. The drop was driven by sharp drop in demand for military equipment.
U.S. indexes registered minor gains with the Dow Jones industrials ahead 12.75 points to 16,830.88, the Nasdaq was up 7.82 points to 4,358.18 and the S&P 500 index gained 2.43 points to 1,952.41.
Oil gained seven cents to $106.10 (U.S.) a barrel. Prices had risen steadily over the past couple of weeks amid a rising insurgency in Iraq. Prices stepped back over the last two days as fears receded that the insurgency would greatly affect the country's oil production and exports.
However, U.S. benchmark crude futures rose Wednesday after The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. government was loosening a long-standing ban by letting two companies sell American oil internationally. The newspaper said the Obama administration would allow foreign buyers to purchase a type of ultralight oil known as condensate, which can be turned into gasoline, jet fuel and diesel.
The TSX energy sector led advancers, up 0.6 per cent.
The gold sector was ahead 0.17 per cent, while August bullion dropped $4.20 to $1,317.10.
Metal prices were lower with July copper off two cents to $3.14 a pound, leaving the base metals component flat.
Financials and techs led decliners.
The TSX and New York markets finished sharply lower on Tuesday despite strong housing and consumer confidence data.
However, indexes in Toronto and New York are close to record highs and investors wonder where the next catalyst is coming from. Also, inflationary pressures are building, raising concerns about when the Federal Reserve might boost interest rates.
Investors were also prompted to cash in their gains after fresh reports of violence in Iraq, including unconfirmed airstrikes by Syrian warplanes, that raised fears that the conflict could spiral into a broader regional conflict.
On the corporate front, Pengrowth Energy Corp. announced a doubling of the value of its proven reserves at its flagship Lindbergh bitumen project in Alberta from $1-billion to $2-billion (Canadian). Pengrowth shares advanced 20 cents to $7.52.
In the U.S., General Mills Inc. posted quarterly earnings of $404.6-million (U.S.), or 65 cents per share. Excluding one-time items, it earned 67 cents per share, which was below the 72 cents per share Wall Street expected. Total sales declined three per cent to $4.28-billion, which was also below the $4.42-billion analysts expected and its shares fell three per cent to $52.01.Report Typo/Error

It's the state law that some follow, others break, and a whole lot of us don't take too seriously: daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public-school classrooms.
So, not unexpectedly, a Seattle teacher's insistence that it be followed is being challenged by an Air Force veteran who feels her daughter owes no allegiance to a single country.
This being Seattle, where the 43rd District Democratic caucus once booed the idea of reciting the pledge, that story has created an uproar which, at last check, ran 41 web-pages long in The Seattle Times, starting with comment No. 1: Love it or leave it.
Not that the pledge as a practicality means a lot. As is often pointed out in debates over the value of the country's loyalty oath, it didn't appear to have much of an effect on Timothy McVeigh, Anwar al-Awlaki, and Jihad Jane, among others.
Parents who see the pledge as an issue perhaps forget that, as kids, a lot of us welcomed the morning ritual as a good time to shoot spitwads or doze off. Mouth the words by rote each day and they become meaningless. And you eventually learn that loyalty is earned, not demanded.
The oath was shorter when introduced by a youth magazine in 1892 ("I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all"). It was later expanded to include allegiance to God and the U.S.--the 50 states.
But the original liberty and justice promise has always been the escape clause: You can't be bound by an allegiance premised on liberty - the independence to be unaligned. The promise of liberty and justice therein endows us with the freedom to not pledge allegiance. In essence, the oath says you don't have to say me.
State legislators apparently realized this. As Washington law states, during the daily "flag exercise," only "those pupils so desiring" shall recite the oath.
Which is why this morning, when the pledge is read over the John Stanford International School PA system in Wallingford, and recited in classrooms other days of the week, students don't have to utter along.
That point seems to be lost in the uproar. Those who choose not to participate can silently exercise their rights while others express theirs. They don't even have to stand up, cross their heart, and fake it.
They can just sit and ponder something more relevant, such as another way of saying the dog ate their homework.

Long Beach Township
Little Egg Inlet Sand Resource Borrow Area Investigation
Update for Long Beach Island Beachfill
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractor Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company began dredging and beachfill operations in early May in the borough of Ship Bottom. Great Lakes mobilized two dredges, the Padre Island and the Dodge Island, to commence beachfill operations. The project is a joint effort between the Army Corps and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. It is designed to reduce storm damages from future events and is 100 percent funded by the 2013 Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (PL113-2), commonly known as the Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill.
Schedule Details
Area 1 (Northern limits of project - Seaview Drive South in Loveladies to previously construction section at Harvey Cedars)
Area 2 (North Beach & Surf City - previously constructed portion at Harvey Cedars to previously constructed portion at Surf City)
Area 6 (Beach Haven and south to limits of project at Holgate)
Additional details
What to expect during construction:
Project Background
Long Beach Island is an 18-mile barrier island in southern Ocean County, New Jersey. The area regularly suffers damages from coastal storms, hurricanes and nor'easters. The Barnegat Inlet to Little Egg Inlet Coastal Storm Risk Management project, also known as the Long Beach Island beachfill or beach nourishment program, is designed to reduce erosion and property damages associated with these events. It is a joint effort of the Army Corps and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
A Feasibility Report Completed in September of 1999 recommended beachfill with periodic nourishment to reduce potential hurricane and storm damages for the island. The project involves the construction of a dune with a top elevation 22 feet above sea level with a 300-400 foot wide berm, depending on the location of the beach on the island, at an elevation of 8 feet above sea level.
The Long Beach Island Coastal Storm Damage Reduction project was only partially completed when Hurricane Sandy hit the New Jersey shore. The Army Corps completed the initial construction of the project at Surf City in 2006; Harvey Cedars in 2010; and Brant Beach between 31st and 57th Streets in Long Beach Township in 2012. The Army Corps repaired beaches in Surf City and Harvey Cedars in 2012 after Hurricane Irene, and fully restored the beaches within all three communities after Hurricane Sandy in 2013. The restoration and repair work was funded 100 percent through the Army Corps' Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies program. On December 5, 2014 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract to the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company, for $128 million to complete initial construction of the Long Beach Island project. This project is a joint effort of the Army Corps and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
The current construction is funded entirely by the federal government through the 2013 Disaster Relief Appropriations Act (PL113-2), commonly known as the Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill. Following the completion of initial construction, the project is eligible for continued periodic nourishment.
February 23, 2016 - USACE released for public comment its Draft Environmental Assessment (Draft EA), dated February 2016 for the Draft Environmental Assessment for the Little Egg Inlet Sand Resource Borrow Area Investigation for the Barnegat Inlet to Little Egg Inlet (Long Beach Island) Storm Damage Reduction Project, Ocean County, New Jersey. The EA presents an evaluation of potential environmental impacts of dredging sand from a shoaled area immediately offshore of Little Egg Inlet for placement on Long Beach Island. Comments may also be submitted via e-mail. Please submit all comments by 22 March 2016.
