Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your follow-up, Anh.What you are describing is ultimately going to potentially take litigation. You would need to properly evaluate the cost of the business, and figure out the actual value. This may require you to retain accountants, likely business accountants who can estimate the value of the business by calculating assets, debts, accounts receivable, and value of future benefits, projects, or good will. Then you would need to retain a corporate counsel to file suit in court for a formal request to 'partition' the business between the parties OR issue a right to sell the business so as to split the value of the sale between the parties in proportion to their interest. The written agreement you have can be the basis for the suit, if the other party is refusing to split losses, and permit you to separately file for breach of contract or for breach of fiduciary duty against the other owner in this instance.Neither of you can force the other to sell. But you can pursue this partition, and then potentially 'buy' the company if it is ordered by the coruts to be sold. That may be an option to sell, or have the company be sold in this instance.Good luck!
Thank you for your follow-up, Anh.Let me try to address each issue in order. You mentioned 'trouble'. What's going on?As for the agreement, you also mentioned in the past that it was not in writing, correct?I am personally barred from assisting you based on state law and site rules. If you wish to retain counsel, you can do so by browsing the listings at www.avvo.com and www.martindale.com. You would need an attorney because a business is legally considered to be a separate entity, and one that has to have formal legal representation that is separate and one that the owners cannot provide unless they themselves are formally permitted to practice law in that state.Hope that helps.

It seems like a new e-book publishing platform for publishers and consumers is launched nearly every week. Apple's iBooks Author, Inkling's Habitat, Vook and The Atavist are just a few among the recent high-profile launches in the space.
Now, from the UK, comes eWowBooks, a drag-and-drop enhanced e-book creation tool that makes books for iBooks (but will soon expand to other platforms, according to the company).
What makes eWowBooks different? The ease of use and ability to divide whole works up into chapters and sell them individually, much like Inkling's e-textbooks.
eWowBooks — A 21st Century Dickens
A North East-based ePublishing company, eWowBooks has launched its new iPad app on the Apple App Store and published its first multimedia, interactive ebook – My Random Digi-Life.
eWowBooks is the brainchild of BAFTA-winning feature film producer and author Emer McCourt. Her first e-book, titled My Random Digi-Life, an original, highly interactive book series for girls aged between nine and twelve, has been written in 16 parts and will be released on a weekly basis. The free eWowBooks app can be downloaded today directly from the iTunes store http://itunes.apple.com/app/ewowbooks/id515251696 or from www.ewowbooks.com – readers can access their free sample and also purchase Issue 1 of My Random Digi-lIfe priced at £1.99 from the store.
"My goal was to bring great stories to life for a generation of 21st Century children who are fluent and intuitive in the use of technology in their everyday lives – a generation that have grown up with tech (computers, smartphones and tablet computers). By delivering an interactive experience, we keep young readers engaged while developing their imagination and creativity while improving their reading skills. Our first in-house release is intended to engage parents and children in our fantastic, multimedia books and also to show publishers what the platform is capable of. It is packed with animation, videos, stunning illustrations, original audio clips, photos and more. Readers can share, email, write, draw and save all their favourite creations to their personalised gallery while enjoying a fantastic story about Bella – a smart ten year old girl who uses her mobile phone to record the random, crazy things that happen in her life."
In tandem with it's multi-media offerings eWowBooks have developed an e-book drag and drop tool for publishers which will enable publishers to upload their content and publish directly to the iPad via the eWowBooks platform, it will reduce the costs and delivery times of the production of interactive ebooks. Initially eWookBooks are for the iPad, thanks to the Northstar investment, in the future we intend to offer publishers a seamless experience across multiple platforms. eWowBooks makes it simple for publishers to create and publish content-rich, interactive ebooks without programming skills using the eWowEditor. They also publish interactive, multimedia ebooks for children in the online bookstore for those who just want to consume content.
Richard Exley, Northstar's Proof of Concept manager, added: "With a brilliant tech team, spearheaded by the company's tech mentor Paul Rawlings CEO of Screenreach, Emer has produced an original business model for the publishing industry – with a flexible e-book publishing platform that can be licensed to publishers in a variety of ways. The company has not only created a highly-sophisticated new multi-interactive platform for its own original stories, but this unique offering will enable publishers to deliver stunning, interactive children's books using eWowBooks technology on their own white-labelled platform."
Thanks to a £100,000 investment from the Finance for Business North East Proof of Concept Fund, managed by Northstar Ventures, eWowBooks is now aiming to interest other publishers in its cutting-edge multi-media digital technology.

Obama to put focus on economy, jobs
WASHINGTON — President Obama will concentrate his State of the Union speech Tuesday on the economy, shifting the emphasis away from the broad social agenda of his second inaugural address to refocus attention on a set of problems that vexed his first term.
Several senior administration officials involved in the speech say he will use his fourth State of the Union address to talk about jobs after the national unemployment rate ticked up last month. He will propose ways to make college more affordable to more people. And, the officials said, he will argue for the need to spend public money — on research, on roads, on education — to prepare Americans for a world where a warming climate, a nomadic labor force and new technology are shutting doors and opening new ones across the national economy.
"Our single biggest remaining challenge is to get our economy in a place where the middle class is feeling less squeezed, where incomes sustain families," said a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the address based on drafts, marked up with highlighters, that were circulating among senior staff members late this past week.
"This project is not complete, by any means," the official added.
With his popularity up in recent polls, Obama made the back-to-basics approach clear last week in a meeting with House Democrats, whose inconsistent support will need firming up if his full domestic agenda has any hope of succeeding.
He told lawmakers at a Thursday policy retreat in Virginia that his second-term priority "starts with an economy that works for everybody," adding that "our economy succeeds and our economy grows when everybody is getting a fair shot."
"That is a growth agenda — not just an equity agenda, not just a fairness agenda," Obama said, adding that on Tuesday "I'm going to be talking about job creation right here in the United States of America."
A president's first State of the Union speech following re-election has historically been his most ambitious — other than, perhaps, his first. Since it follows an inaugural address, it also gives a president a rare pair of opportunities, just weeks apart, to present the essence of a second-term program.
Many, though, have proved forgettable — more prose than poetry, and more ambition than practicality in actually presenting achievable goals. This may be one of Obama's last meaningful formal addresses on his domestic agenda, given that a second-term president's political power at home tends to ebb sharply after midterm elections.
Most first-of-the-second-term States of the Union also share an essential frame of reference, one that emphasizes first-term successes and the unfinished agenda ahead. As President Ronald Reagan noted in his 1985 address, which followed a first term defined by a slow economic recovery: "We have begun well. But it's only a beginning."
Beyond that basic frame, however, post-re-election State of the Union speeches vary based on whether a president wants to signal a grand ambition — as Reagan did on tax policy in 1985 and George W. Bush did two decades later in pledging Social Security changes — or a litany of policies such as those that defined Bill Clinton's long-winded 1997 address.
White House officials view Obama's back-to-back speeches as essentially one — a thematic prologue, delivered on Inauguration Day, followed by a prescriptive second chapter detailing the president's view of the country's economy.
In that speech, Obama argued stridently for social equality through an expansion of gay rights, citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and the moral imperative of reducing gun violence and confronting climate change. White House officials acknowledge that he may have overshadowed his underlying message of economic fairness as a result.
On Tuesday evening, Obama will mention issues such as gun control, immigration and climate change primarily in an economic context: job opportunities in clean-energy technology, the fair-play benefits of a legal labor force, and safe schools as a way to drive economic growth.

Men's and women's beauty products used to be exclusive, now it's all share and share alike.
It has been going on for years. Covertly, of course. He steals her collagen-enriched moisturiser; she uses his close-shave razor to defuzz her legs. Maybe he even experiments with her concealer, while she indulges in a splash of his cologne. Now it's time for all those beauty borrowers to come out of the bathroom closet.
Helped along by the coining of the word metrosexual and the TV show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Australian men are experimenting even more with "product". According to the experts, they might nick their partner's, buy products that are neither feminine nor masculine in their labelling or buy skincare marketed directly at men.
At the same time, women are finding that some of the grooming tools appearing on his side of the vanity cabinet are great for them, too. Call it unisex beauty, if you like, or stealing beauty.
Some cosmetic companies insist men's and women's complexions are different and therefore need different products. Delta Orig-Baker, national marketing and public relations manager for Sisley Paris, is more sanguine. She says women's and men's skin are pretty much the same. In fact, many cosmetic companies quietly admit their male products are fundamentally the same as their female ones, except for the packaging. It's reassuring to think that nothing terrible will happen if she uses his facewash.
Whether something terrible will happen if he uses her lipstick, who knows? The ClarinsMen range may be the exception to the exchanging-beauty-tools rule because some of its face products contain a hair-retardant.
So what can be shared with impunity? Shaving is the obvious area where she can benefit from crossing the great gender divide. ClarinsMen Shave Ease, $49, a pre-shave, can soften stubble and help prevent razor burn, even on legs or armpits. It also has a fresh pine scent that's not overtly masculine. And if she wants to turn the drudgery of shaving into a mood-altering experience (women, too, find shaving a bore as well as a chore), add Dr Hauschka Spruce Bath, $39.90, to a basin of water and liberally splash onto the skin. The Body Shop For Men Shave Cream, $12.95, with sesame oil and vitamins A, B5 and E, is also a smooth treat for women who want to ease nicks and rough edges. After the razor work, Clinique's Post-Shave Healer, $40, which contains calming aloe vera, can help relieve shave irritation no matter which sex you are.
Before she closes the vanity cupboard, she may also like to borrow his facial scrubs. Sure, they may have manly names such as Scruffing Cream, but they can still do a female-style exfoliation - as long as the woman in question isn't prone to broken capillaries. It is true that some men's exfoliants have slightly larger granules but they make perfect elbow, heel and arm scrubs if she's desperate for a treatment before an up-close-and-personal date.
He and she will find they can dip into each other's cleansing products successfully. For a deep cleanse, try The Body Shop For Men Face Scrub, $18.95, with oil-absorbent clay.
Or, if you have more expensive tastes, you can try a unisex product such as Sisley Botanical Gentle Facial Buffing Cream, $89, suitable for all skin types and both sexes. From the MD Formulations Men range, the Facial Cleanser, $69, is certain to be a winner with her, too. It contains glycolic acid to help remove dull surface skin cells. For a gentle cleanser that will remove dirt, impurities and make-up, Dr Hauschka Cleansing Milk, $55.60, is suitable for all skin types.
Even he needs kissable lips. Search her handbag for Nivea Lip Care Vitamin Power, $4.40, which helps boost resistance to sun and wind. The more adventurous, or perhaps younger, male may like Nivea's Pearl & Shine, $3.75, which not only contains vitamin E and jojoba oil to moisturise lips but includes pearly pigments designed to enhance the lip's natural colour.
A little lipgloss may be fine for him - what about taking beautification one step further? In the '80s, when the New Romantic look was in, women were mostly unfazed if he wore a dash of eyeliner for a night on the tiles. Today, however, make-up for men is neither fashionable nor socially acceptable in the mainstream. The exceptions are fake tanners, bronzers and - at a stretch - concealers, which are becoming big sellers at men's counters. After all, he gets skin blemishes too.
The Body Shop's Lightening Touch, $24.95, is great for disguising dark circles that come from burning the candle at both ends - a phenomenon to which all modern men and women can relate. Its Unperfumed Elderflower Eye Gel, $11.95, will also rescue puffy, baggy eyes. Janet Stewart, national product PR manager, says men also love the Brush on Bronze, $31.95, for adding a bit of colour after a late night. Just don't go too crazy.
Dermalogica's Sheer Moisture SPF15, $68, in the tinted formula, is a gentle cross between a moisturiser and a lightweight cover-up.
She'll love it and he'll hardly know he's wearing it. The untinted formula is great for the less adventurous male or for women who like to wear foundation over their sunscreen-moisturisers.
When it comes to moisturisers, men tend to want textures that are fresh, non-greasy and easy to apply, with no shiny or sticky residue, says Samantha Phillips, from L'Oreal's luxury products division. Biotherm Aquasource Moisturizing Spray-Gel, $54, fits the bill because it melts into the skin; so too does Aveda's oil-free Tourmaline Charged Protecting Lotion SPF15, $89.95. And it doesn't matter which sex you are with a product as covetable as MD Formulations Antioxidant Rehydrating Moisture Defense Spray, $99. A blend of skin soothers and emollients including liquorice and chamomile, it smooths and softens the skin; the antioxidants protect against the elements.
Meanwhile, if she's over at his place and shy a product or two, she can borrow his Biotherm Homme Age Fitness, $79, a non-greasy, anti-ageing, moisturising treatment with antioxidant-rich olive-leaf concentrate. It incorporates beta-hydroxy acid to fade fine lines (that's why he's using it).
No matter what your gender, you're also sure to like Clinique Skin Supplies for Men Moisture Surge Extra Oil-Free Gel, $54. And for a skin treat, Giorgio Armani's Fluid Sheer No.7, $80, is closer to a cosmetic than a skincare product and adds a sheer pinkish pearly luminosity to the skin. The Clarins Radiance-Plus Self Tanning Cream-Gel, $82, is certain to make an appearance on her side of the vanity closet. But why shouldn't he have colour and radiance too?
Women who want a scent that says sex appeal with a touch of androgyny may want to abandon floral numbers and filch his aftershave. Not the Brut or Old Spice that Dad used to wear, but new scents such as Acqua di Gio Pour Homme, $90, 50mL. If you'd like a perfume you can share, try Sisley Eau de Campagne, $99, 50mL, which contains bergamot, basil, lemon, tomato, jasmine, patchouli and more. The Body Shop's Kistna Eau de Toilette, $39.95, is another deliciously citrusy unisex scent.
Working up a sweat with all that product application? You may both need David Jones Quick Dry Antiperspirant, $9.95, which has a subtle perfume and controls perspiration. And for hair that needs discipline, she'll love his Aveda Control Paste, $49.95, which provides a clean matte finish.
Vive la difference? Hardly. Beauty isn't a gender issue any more. It's universal.

Rock the Box
Installing Rockbox is a snap if you've already got iPodLinux on your iPod. Point your Web browser to www.rockbox.org/download and scroll down until you see your iPod model. You can choose to get the very latest build, which contains the newest features (and probably bugs), or older versions, which are more stable. Right-click on Latest and save the ZIP file to your hard drive, or left-click on Older to select and download an older build. All that's left to do is to extract the two items in the ZIP archive to the root level of your iPod and eject it. The boot-loader screen will now let you choose from Apple's OS, iPodLinux, or Rockbox. The manual is available via a link on the same Web site; it's right underneath where you downloaded Rockbox itself.
Loading music in both operating systems is simply a matter of dragging files and folders into the root directory of your iPod and then finding them in the file browser. Note that neither one can read iTunes database files, so you won't see music you load via iTunes. And of course, the Apple firmware can't see files you load via drag-and-drop. But there's a lot more to explore in both iPodLinux and Rockboxand, of course, you should check their respective Web sites often for updates.
If your iPod freezes, just reboot it by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons on click wheel models, or the Menu and Play buttons on other models. And one last thought, to reassure the squeamish: If you're not happy with the results of your installation, don't panic. Just go to www.apple.com/ipod/download and grab the latest iPod Updater software. Run the updater and click on the Restore button, and voila ! Your iPod should be as good as new (without any music or fun software, of course).

Testing Models With Multiple Equilibria by Quantile Methods
This paper proposes a method for testing complementarities between explanatory and dependent variables in a large class of economic models. The proposed test is based on the monotone comparative statics (MCS) property of equilibria. Our main result is that MCS produces testable implications on the (small and large) quantiles of the dependent variable, despite the presence of multiple equilibria. The key features of our approach are that (i) we work with a nonparametric structural model of a continuous dependent variable in which the unobservable is allowed to be correlated with the explanatory variable in a reasonably general way; (ii) we do not require the structural function to be known or estimable; (iii) we remain fairly agnostic on how an equilibrium is selected. We illustrate the usefulness of our result for policy evaluation within Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes's (1999) model. Copyright 2009 The Econometric Society.

blackest thing, Featured, Music, Pop Culture, Race & Politics
Beyonce Is The New Black: The 10 Blackest Moments In Beyonce's "Formation" Video
In 2014, Surrey NanoSystems, a tech company in England, debuted VantaBlack — a substance they claim is the Blackest Black ever seen.
"The coating reflects so little light, three dimensions seem to disappear." said Ben Jensen, founder of Surrey NanoSystems, in an interview with the New York Times. "When you look at Vantablack on some wrinkled aluminum foil, it looks like a black, flat, featureless void, even with your eyes right up to it."
Perhaps VantaBlack is the Blackest substance ever created in a lab. But it cannot be the Blackest Black ever seen. Because, for it to truly be the Blackest Black, it would be thick, not flat. Thicker than hour-old Cream of Wheat, perhaps. And featurefull, not featureless. It would contain references to post-coital Cheddar Bay Biscuits. And Jackson family nostril width. It would include Big Freedia. And babies with baby haired Afros. And Black preachers rocking Ghostfaced-sized silver crosses over pinstriped suits. And random body rolling. And glorious titties in hallways and empty swimming pools. There would be allusions to #BlackLivesMatter. And mentions of Creole ancestries, even though we haven't quite collectively decided if a "Creole ancestry" is a real thing. And Frank's Hot Sauce floating in the bottom of thousand-dollar clutches. It would utterly flabbergast White people, and make Black people say things like "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!!!!"
It would be Beyonce's "Formation" video, the Blackest Black thing these Black eyes have seen in a long-ass, Black-ass time. I could seriously sit here and list the 100 Blackest Things from this video. But since my family is having a family dinner at Red Lobster later this evening, I can't spend that much time writing this, so 10 will have to do.
(Seriously. I'm totally not playing about Red Lobster. By the time you finish reading this, I will be on the way there. This was scheduled earlier today, and I'm actually considering cutting the list to four so I can get moving.)
1. Big Freedia doing Big Freedia things
Putting Big Freedia on a song is like casting Clifton Powell in a movie. It doesn't even matter what the actual title is. Because any movie featuring him in any way should just be called "Black People Doing Some Black-Ass Shit." Or, perhaps "Chitlins: Pt 2."
2. "Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess"
The very first words out of Beyonce's mouth were not-so-subtle shots at Hoteps. Perhaps she took the quiz.
3. "I like my baby hair with baby hair and afros"
This is Beyonce saying "But really, fuck you" to the people who've somehow formed their retched and preternaturally chapped lips to criticize the hair of Blue Ivy and, by proxy, any other Black baby with regular Black people hair and features.
4. "I like my negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils"
There are approximately 270,000 different ways to unpack this line. But all I kept thinking about is Big Freedia, and how having a wider nasal path makes the smell of cornbread and slow cooked collard greens even more glorious.
5. "You mix that Negro with that Creole make a Texas bama"
Wait, aren't Creole people Black? And wouldn't that make them Negro too? And…you know what? Nevermind. That shit was hot. I'm over thinking things here. I just need to free my mind and allow Beyonce to slay.
6. "I got hot sauce in my bag. Swag"
Which is Blacker, carrying a bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce in a purse or pocket everywhere, or carrying a deck of cards in a purse or pocket everywhere so you'll always be prepared to play Spades? (I think the hot sauce is a smidgen Blacker, but I could be swayed the other way. It's close, man.)
7. "When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster"
This line is the single Blackest thing I've ever heard in 2016. Because Blackness is, above all, truth. And there has never been better sex than pre and post Red Lobster sex. Not shower sex. Not cruise sex. Not spaceship sex. Not "it's been six weeks since the baby was born" sex. Not even "thanks for the co-sign on the car loan" sex. Nothing. Cheddar Bay biscuits are Negro Catnip.
Also, related, she unwittingly just created a new way for dudes to nonverbally brag on our dicks. Because from this moment forward, if you see a couple at Red Lobster, the first thought will be "Damn. She's taking him to Red Lobster — and he's getting the Ultimate Feast! — so he must be making her squirt."
8. This guy
9. Beyonce doing Beyonce things. On an empty police car. Underwater. In New Orleans.
A reminder of the importance, relevance, and vitality of #BlackLivesMatter. Because we all remember the thing that happened there 11 years ago that reminded everyone Black lives don't.
10. The Black kid in the Black hoodie dancing in front of the line of White police officers with their hands up.
Is it a coincidence that this song and this video and this scene were released the same weekend Trayvon Martin would have been 21? I don't know. Probably. Who knows? I do know that the New York Times needs to run a retraction, because VantaBlack is now only the second Blackest Black ever seen.

Used Alesis M1 Active MKII Studio Monitors

- Additional Information
Used Alesis M1 Active MKII Studio Monitors Product Description
- Includes Original Box
- Power Leads
- Instruction Manual
- 12 Months Warranty
Alesis M1 Active MKII studio monitors combine our expertise in reference monitor design with our proven track record in studio amplification, Alesis' new M1 Active Biamplified Reference Monitor offers the incredibly accurate response that perfectly translates to every playback system. Its internal active crossover and custom-designed dual amplifiers ensure an extremely consistent performance under a variety of different studio conditions and program material. The result is a broad, extremely flat frequency response, clear imaging with a wide sweet spot, high power handling and detailed high- and mid-frequency response that only a professional powered monitor can deliver.
The M1 Active's woofer and tweeter were specifically designed for the most linear, low distortion response in powered monitoring applications. Its 6.5" woofer cone is formulated from non-woven carbon fiber. It's a material that has been used for the skins of combat aircraft wings, since it offers high tensile strength and low weight. In fact, carbon fiber is 25% lighter than polypropylene (the most common driver material) and hence provides quicker transient response in the low frequency range for superb bass response as well as a vast improvement in the detail of critical upper-mid frequencies. The M1 Active's 1" tweeter dome is made of pure silk, which offers a natural response that aids in preventing ear fatigue during long mix sessions. It also features an internal pole piece mounted phasing plug and is ferrofluid cooled to maintain the best balance of transient response to power handling.
Two audiophile-quality amplifiers-a 75 watt woofer amp and a 25 watt tweeter amp-were developed for the M1 Active, along with 4th order high- and low-pass electronic crossover filters. The crossover point was carefully chosen at a low 2 kHz, and produces an extremely wide dispersion zone as well as low midrange coloration. Also, the special time alignment circuitry that's been added to the tweeter section of this crossover allows the output of frequencies from the high and low drivers to occur in perfect synchronization, avoiding the time smear that's typical in less advanced powered speakers.
In developing the M1 Active, the Alesis engineering team discovered that dual font-facing ports provided the fastest, most coherent and extended low frequency augmentation. Also, the unique offset design of the high frequency driver allows for the flattest frequency and power response in a speaker that offers such wide dispersion. The M1 Active's attractive mirror-imaged, charcoal- toned cabinet and magnetically-shielded drivers allow for placement in close proximity with computer or video monitors, and offers the added benefit of blending beautifully into your studio's decor without being obtrusive. They may be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical placement to best fit your studio's requirements.
With the lineage of our TEC Award-winning Monitor Onet Studio Reference Monitor, Alesis speakers have already become a standard in project and professional studios around the world. If you're looking for the same great accuracy and detailed response in a powered system that's truly affordable, the answer is clear: the new M1 Active from Alesis.

Do employers check references? In many cases, the answer is yes. If you're about to begin a job search, expect to have your references checked. The references you provide to employers may be checked. In addition, many organizations check with previous employers to get information on your work history and ability to perform on the job.

Do employers check references?
The days when employers ignored, or did not think references were important, are long gone. The best thing to do is plan ahead, don't wait to put together a list of references at the last moment when you think a prospective employer might ask for them. It is especially important to remember that chances are good that your will be checked by a prospective employer.

According to a Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey more than eight of ten human resource professionals said that they regularly conduct reference checks for professional (89 percent), executive (85 percent), administrative (84 percent) and technical (81 percent) positions. Regular reference checks were less likely, but still probable, for skilled-labor, part-time, temporary and seasonal positions. Information routinely provided to references checkers by surveyed employers included dates of employment, eligibility for rehire, salary history, and employability.

Who are they going to ask?
On the average, employers check three references for each candidate. It's important to be prepared to provide them. It's essential to your references, to select the right people, and to talk to them in advance about using them. You need responsive people that can confirm that you worked there, your title, your reason for leaving and other details. The people you list should be able to attest to your performance and your responsibilities so keep your references as current as possible.

In addition to references you may asked for contact information concerning your supervisor. However, prospective employers should get your permission before contacting your current supervisor so as not to jeopardize your current position.

It's perfectly acceptable to use references other than your employer. Business acquaintances, customers, and vendors can all make good references. If you volunteer consider using leaders or other members of the organization as references.

What are your references going to be asked?
Everything from how you would fit the position you're interviewing for to whether you were a dependable employee. Tell your references what type job you are applying for and what you think the employer might want to know and ask them what responses they would give. It is better to get an unpleasant surprise in advance. If the reference isn't going to be positive you can always ask a different person for the reference.

Never tell a lie!
If you're tempted to stretch the truth about your work history - don't. The risks of being discovered are high. The SHRM Reference Checking survey mentioned above found that of the human resource professionals from organizations that use reference checks to verify length of employment, 53 percent discovered falsified information, at least sometimes, during reference checks. And of the respondents who verify past salaries, 51 percent found that job candidates provided misinformation at least some of the time.

What are they saying about you?
You may be concerned about your work history or about what formers employers will say about your background. There are companies that will check your references and provide a report. If the information is incorrect, you can take steps to get it updated. Before you select a company comparison shop to determine the best service and fee structure for your needs.

A Midwife at Menopause?0
Midwives Offer Very Personal Menopause Care
Why would you want to see a midwife at menopause? Because they offer a uniquely personal and holistic perspective on the journey. Though historically their role has been to help women through childbirth, many modern midwives now focus on helping women to feel better and be healthier at the other end of the reproductive cycle.
It's an intriguing concept, so I spoke with Angela Deneris, PhD, a certified nurse midwife and associate professor in the Nurse-Midwifery and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Programs at the University of Utah. According to Dr. Deneris, who has been in practice for nearly 30 years and whose clients range in age from teens to a woman in her 80s, Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) are fully qualified to partner a woman through perimenopause, menopause and the postmenopausal years—and some actually specialize in caring for older women. All midwives are trained to provide the full spectrum of routine gynecological care—including pap smears and pelvic examinations and referrals for screening and diagnostic tests, such as mammograms and sonograms, as well as routine primary care, including annual physicals and screening for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and declining bone health.
A More Personal Relationship
Midwives are trained in "whole woman care," emphasizing natural treatments and lifestyle adjustments over pharmaceutical drugs. For instance, said Dr. Deneris, for a woman complaining about hot flashes, a midwife will start by trying to ascertain whether specific situations trigger them and will also discuss dietary and lifestyle measures that might help reduce their severity or frequency. A midwife will coach patients in how to take more responsibility for the aspects of her health that she can control by eating right, exercising and keeping track of medical history and records. And for those women who really need something more, midwives are qualified to prescribe medication and hormone replacement therapy if appropriate.
Midwife vs. MD—What's the Difference?
Education for midwives varies from state to state, with some requiring a bachelor of science and others requiring a degree in nursing prior to midwifery training. Accreditation requirements (for both Certified Midwives and Certified Nurse-Midwives) are standardized by The American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM). An accredited midwife is able to do just about all aspects of routine care (and childbirth, of course) up to but not including surgery.
For older women in particular, midwives work closely with doctors when trying to determine whether symptoms and discomfort a patient is experiencing are caused by aging or disease—especially if serious illness, such as cancer, is suspected. In that case, the doctor will take over the patient's care, but the midwife often remains very involved.
For instance, Dr. Deneris told me she continues to provide gynecological and other care for her patients who have had breast cancer, including screening for heart disease, diabetes and depression as well as counseling for diet and exercise. "Staying involved while a woman is receiving care for a serious, chronic health issue enables us to continue to treat our patients as whole, complete women," she said.
Patients Get More Time
As part of their holistic perspective, Dr. Deneris said women can also expect that a midwife will devote much more time to each patient. She told me she spends about an hour with women over 40 for their annual visits. "We discuss lifestyle, diet, exercise routines, and the particular stressors in their lives, and then put the pieces together," she said. "Rather than immediately prescribing something for mood swings or insomnia, we'll look beyond such symptoms to examine the broader picture." Dr. Deneris said she routinely discusses sexuality with her patients…asks about quality of life…screens for depression…and makes it a point to explore whether there are possible issues around abuse or addiction. It's all intended to provide context for understanding what is happening with a woman's health.
Most insurers cover midwife services. To locate a qualified midwife, Dr. Deneris suggested visiting www.midwife.org, the Web site for the American College of Nurse Midwives, which offers a search option for locating a midwife by entering a Zip code or town.

Folsom Prison, culled from performances to 2,000 inmates crammed in a dining hall, sold millions and launched Cash's second coming as an outlaw with a conscience. This two-CD set gives you the whole kaboodle - two entire shows with support slots, tough-guy ballads about prison, murder and cocaine, and weepies like Green, Green Grass of Home.

At Breathe Now, I talked about community. One of the biggest things that stand out to me when someone talks about community is that I know exactly how it feels to lose yours, which is what happened to me when I was 21. For years, I searched for community and my own self acceptance, often in the wrong places. Finally I learned that I needed to love myself first-and only then, would I find my community too.
I stared down the logging truck as it bumped towards me, logs bouncing this way and that.
If I just turn the wheel to the left, I'd be flattened. My hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter.
"Maybe this would stop you from hurting so much", my pain argued. "You are nothing. A rotten mother. A disappointment to your family. Nobody loves you, anyway. Why not?"
My brain interjected before my foot hit the gas pedal.
"Don't you dare do that to your husband and son," it gently chided. "They love you, and if you were gone, it would ruin them for life."
For once, my good girl tendencies probably saved my life that day.
I always was the good girl. Being the daughter of a family with generations of selfless, spiritual, giving people in it's wake came with unwritten expectations. You never argue, never express displeasure, turn the other cheek, even if it's the last thing you want to do. Arguing with my siblings was forbidden, and fighting with my parents swiftly disciplined. The message loud and clear;
To be here, and be part of this family, you have to be a good girl. We have expectations, and you are going to follow them.
I don't blame them, entirely. Both my parents must have been raised in much the same environments-my Dad's family goes back generations as Russian Mennonites working in India, and culturally, this kind of attitude makes a lot of sense. What I didn't know then-but do know now, I'm only second generation Canadian. Those ingrained cultural beliefs are long lasting, even if you aren't sure where they are coming from.
The point was driven home when I met and fell in love with someone who was as far from my parent's expectations of who I'd marry than anyone could get. He was old enough to be my father, had a daughter only 4 years younger than me, ran a therapeutic group home for young teens, rode a motorcycle, and smoked. Horrified, my family issued an ultimatum which they thought was tough love; marry that guy, and you're not part of the family.
The good girl wanted to please everyone. There was so much pressure to do what was expected, not just from my family, but friends and people had known for years. Hurtful words were thrown my way that rang in my ears many years later; Slut. Whore. Disappointment. Unloveable. Not able to make decisions. Unworthy.
It's ironic that 20 years later, I hear about gay teens coming out and being rejected by their families because of who they love and honestly, I can completely relate. The message that you aren't good enough, unacceptable, not worthy of love just because you fell in love with the wrong person is as damaging now for gay teens as it was for me then. It's like having the rug ripped out from under you, as everything you've ever known-every bit of security and support is suddenly, inexplicably, gone.
This does more damage than you know. For years, I didn't trust anyone, especially women. You don't trust yourself. You play it safe with people, never letting them very close because deep down, you're always afraid they will leave. It erodes your self confidence, so you never put yourself out there.
The good girl stuck around when Kevin enrolled in Kindergarten. School, it's safe to say, was a disaster. I've blogged extensively about our struggles with the public school system and how if people weren't trying to diagnose Kev as ADHD and push Ritalin, they were trying to classify him as a behaviour problem. Undiagnosed dyspraxia/Developmental Co-ordination disorder wreaks havoc with kids, and is largely unknown in BC. Dealing with principals and teachers brought back all the stress and anxiety of being the good girl-at first, I didn't dare rock the boat because it might come back on Kevin or offend the staff. I was horrified by his behaviour, and felt like it was obviously all my fault. If I was a good enough parent, this wouldn't be happening.
"You suck," my brain would say. "Obviously you aren't fit to be a parent. It's all you. YOUR fault."
Bit by bit, the light from Kevin's eyes faded until I had an angry, anxious, 8 year old who was contemplating how to take his life to end his pain.
The good girl had to go-by now, Kevin needed her to. I can't say it was easy-in fact, I would be physically sick before and after IEP meetings. I didn't eat or sleep well, and the first year after we moved to a different community, it was like I was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress. Fighting my way through the self doubt, the fear, and forcing myself to confront people for Kevin's sake was like jumping from a plane without a parachute every single time.
Finally, it was a broken friendship that pushed me over the edge for the last time. I twisted myself in knots for a person who claimed to be my friend, but in the end turned out to have some self doubt issues of their own. Once I started blogging, which was her thing, the issues began. I twisted myself in knots trying to keep her happy, but in the end, it all was in vain. Expressing my opinion of something she loved, and having my blog syndicated by a national site, proved to be the final straw.
As bloggers, we often wonder when we meet people in real life if they will like us once they know the real us, and I can safely say years later that I don't think she liked me when she really knew who I was. Which, at the time was heartbreaking. Today, I can say that her dumping me was the best thing to ever happen because it was at that point that the good girl in me died.
I'm done with being the good girl. Done with twisting myself in knots for people. If you like me, great. If you don't, there's the door and don't let it hit you in the ass on your way out. Don't read my blog, don't follow me on Twitter, don't talk to me in real life. I'm done with toxic relationships and negative people. Done with drama. Life is hard enough, I don't need to carry your crap too. I have enough crap of my own. I am going to be me, plain and simple-and the only people who I care about being proud of me are my husband and son.
There's something incredibly freeing about killing off the good girl-and slowly, I discovered there was a whole community of awesomeness out there, just waiting for me. The struggles didn't make me bitter, but instead were lessons who made me who I am now. After all these years, I've found my community and Kevin I learned together that it's okay to be who you are.
Life may still throw curve balls but now, we're ready for them.
All I had to do was find myself, first.

Though I use technical analysis to guide buy and sell decisions, I also incorporate fundamentals into my screening processes. In fact, I have several screens that focus on various fundamental indicators. I may place stocks like these on an active watch list or, if the technicals are lacking, I might just monitor them on a regular basis.
One of last year's best large-cap earnings performers was biotech name Celgene (CELG). The company reported yearly income of $3.79 per share for 2011, a gain of 36%. This year, that number is expected to rise another 29% to $4.88 per share.
The company boasts a healthy return on equity of 30%. Free cash flow per share increased in each of the past three years. Both of these are good measures of a firm's financial strength, and can indicate potential for further price gains.
The stock pulled back last week along with the broader market. It's getting support well above its 10-day moving average, and below its Oct. 5 all-time high of $81.24. On Friday, the company got a nod from the Food and Drug Administration for its lung cancer drug Abraxane. The stock finished 0.9% higher on the session at $78.42. It lost 2.3% for the week.
This stock could be considered in buy range. However, be aware that Celgene is set to report its third quarter on Oct. 25. The company is seen earning $1.26 per share on revenue of $1.41 billion, which would represent year-over-year increases.
Another large company that has been an earnings leader is Imperial Oil (IMO). The Calgary-based company is active in upstream and downstream segments of the oil-and-gas industry, from exploration and production to refining and marketing. Its exploration operations are in the Canadian oil sands, as well as on offshore rigs
The company earned $3.77 per share last year, a gain of 35% vs. its 2010 profit.
Earnings and revenue growth have both slowed in recent quarters along with a general decline in oil prices. The company is expected to show an increase of just 1% this year, to $3.81 per share. That's not necessarily a deal-breaker in terms of potential price progress. If a company with slowing earnings growth tops views and issues upbeat guidance, the stock could make a move higher.
Dividends have increased in nine of the past 10 years, and return on equity is strong at 26%.
The stock reached a 52-week high of $50 on Sept. 14, but turned tail, and is now consolidating above its 200-day moving average.
Though the company has market capitalization of $38 billion, it trades only 100,000 shares per day on average. Such thin trade often makes a stock volatile, and that's the case here. Imperial has a beta of 1.3. A glance at the chart shows wide and loose trade, meaning that it could potentially be hard to hold.
Imperial is expected to report its third quarter on or around Nov. 1. The company beat earnings views in three of the past four quarters, but missed most recently. This time around, it's expected to earn $1.06 per share on revenue of $8.51 billion. Those would represent increases over the year-ago quarter.

Calderdale Council's Economy and Environmental Scrutiny Panel has referred the controversial issue of evening parking charges on Halifax town centre back to full council.
The panel held a debate on the subject at Halifax Town Hall last night before voting for it to be referred back for further discussion.
Councillor Scott Benton, Economy and Environment Scrutiny Panel Chair and Deputy Leader of the Conservative Group, said: "We have consistently opposed the policy of additional evening parking charges in Halifax ever since this was first proposed in 2012.
"We have argued they would damage the local economy since they were introduced and the effect has been considerable.
"A trader in Ripponden has had to move into the flat above her shop because her takins have decreased so much she is no longer able to afford to run her shop and her home.
"I note the proposal to freeze parking charges but to present a choice between freezing charges and introducing evening charges is fartoo simplistic and is a completely false choice.
"Had the council approached the other groups on this issue I am sure we could and would have worked together towards a range of measures that would have commanded widespread support."
Councillor Barry Collins, Cabinet Member for the Economy and Environment and Deputy Leader of the Labour Group, said: "The effect of business rates and rents by private landlords is far more damaging than any of the changes we have proposed on parking.
"In response to concerns we have withdrawn charges on half the proposed areas. I can't think of a better response to a consultation programme than that.
"Overall the scheme has been extremely successful. Ever since it was brought in the amount of usage in central Halifax has progressively increased.
"There is no effect on the economy and I defy anybody to bring any proof that there is.
"Why is it that it is wrong for the council to charge for parking but it is not for the private sector?
"We have had less than 10 complaints about the evening charges in Halifax.
"We will stick to our promise to keep an eye on this over the next few months and respond where we can.
"The extra income (from parking charges) is way above what we expected and because of this we were then able to recalculate the budget figures for parking and our calculation was that we could freeze parking charges for another two years.
"The idea it is completely wrong not to implement 100 per cent of a budget proposal is silly - it happens over and over again.
"This is sensible budgeting."

WOMEN from Cirencester are being urged to join forces and beat cancer by signing up to Cancer Research UK's Race for Life 2014.
Staff at Cancer Research UK are calling Cirencester women of all ages, shapes and sizes to sign up and fight cancer by entering one of the races at Cirencester Park on Sunday, July 20 at 11am.
As well as the usual five kilometre event, this year sees a new ten kilometre event for those women who wish to double their challenge.
Cancer Research UK's South West Events Manager Kelly Rumble said: "We know how committed Cirencester women can be when they really make up their minds to do something. We want to harness that power to stop cancer in its tracks by raising money for life-saving research.
"Race for Life is non-competitive," Kelly continued. "It's not about being fit or fast. Most women are able to walk 5k in an hour while chatting and having fun. Or they can choose to jog, run or even dance around the course if they prefer."
Last year 1,340 women took part in Race for Life in the town and raised £76,321. This year organisers are asking 1,500 women and girls to stride out and help raise £90,252.
Money raised through Race for Life allows Cancer Research UK's doctors, nurses and scientists to advance research and help find cures for over 200 cancers.
Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding for its ground-breaking work but with help from the people of Cirencester, the charity intends to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
Kelly continued: "Race for Life is an amazing way to celebrate life but also remember those who have been lost to the disease. There are over 200 cancers and we won't give up until we find cures for them all."
To enter Race for Life go to raceforlife.org or call 0845 600 6050.

Six women juggle their lives as businesswomen, socialites and mothers in the 'sunny city where the party never stops'.
The new franchise of "Real Housewives" is ready to introduce its cast. Bravo TV's "The Real Housewives of Miami" will include six ladies ranging from a magazine editor to a lawyer's wife to "Hottest NBA wife".
Larsa Pippen is married to basketball star Scottie Pippen and is described as a "snarky Lebanese beauty". She boasts she's successful at everything she does such as being mother to her three sons and one daughter. Texas-born Lea Black is a strong supporter of President Barack Obama and is mother to a 9-year-old from her lawyer husband. Lea devotes her time to charitable endeavors.
Alexia Echevarria is the executive editor of Venue magazine, a 'Cuban Barbie', and a mother of two sons. Marysol Patton runs a PR firm, the Patton Group. Described as "Miami's most sought-after women both socially and professionally," the divorcee often throws bashes around town and has a mother who offers spiritual guidance to people.
The last two women are Cristy Rice who was recently divorced from NBA star Glen Rice and a newly-engaged Adriana DeMoura-Sid. Cristy juggles her life as a single mom and a businesswoman running a clothing store. Adriana is a Brazilian bombshell who had a divorce in the past but is now in love with fiance Frederic. Being fiery and flirtatious, Adriana is the subject of gossips among her friends.
"The Real Housewives of Miami" premieres on February 22 at 10 P.M. ET. This way, Bravo has postponed "The Real Housewives of New York City" fourth season premiere to Spring.
