			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><b> The divorce is finally over.</i></b></p>
<p>No more fighting over who gets to keep the home and other real estate. Those leather couches, and the expensive art hanging on the walls of your summer home. A drop in the bucket compared to the company that both of you slaved over to build or the family pet that made your kids so happy. The whole process almost landed you in Bankruptcy Court. But even now, all that looks small compared to the most important issue of all: child custody. But hey&#8211;all of this is over. Resolved. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. You&#8217;ve probably been wondering about your future - without your x. Yes, being single again definitely has its benefits. Maybe you&#8217;re going out more, enjoying life, and watching your diet. It&#8217;s those little things you haven&#8217;t enjoyed in a long time that suddenly make life worth living-again.</p>
<p>Most people who choose divorce and feel this kind of relief, are -in the end&#8211;happy with the decision they made. What you both needed was peace. And now you have it. And happy to have a new chance to find that RIGHT special someone to build a life together. But that&#8217;s not where the story ends. You might wake up one day, and feel like changing your life completely. Maybe you decide that your financial security and personal happiness are somewhere, anywhere other than where you are right here and now. Somewhere outside of New York you may be thinking. Maybe a better job is waiting in another state. Maybe you have health reasons or better yet, a new relationship. A voice deep in your heart keeps telling you to move. So maybe you do need a new start: to realize your dreams, to focus on your career, and to build a new home. You have every right to want to leave the old memories behind. But how can you do that when you see the same places you once shared? And with someone who may have broken your heart. So, a new opportunity and a new chance to build a new life in a new state with new friends sounds great. Even Newsweek lists the ten best cities to go live in. You might be thinking that you&#8217;ll go to the web looking for info sites detailing how to build a healthy home. Now, maybe you decided your destiny is to live with the stars under the shining lights of Hollywood. And well, hey at least the weather is nicer, the water is clean and the sand is soft. Right? But what about your fantastic plans to leave the country? If you plan on taking the kids anywhere out of the country or even out of the state, here&#8217;s what you need to consider.</p>
<p><i><b>Planning is everything.</i></b></p>
<p>First, leaving with your kids without permission from your x spouse, is against the law. In fact, it&#8217;s a serious felony called &#8220;Parental Kidnapping&#8221;. Most attorneys know very well that the FBI works in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies to ensure that parental kidnappers are brought to justice. They are arrested. They are prosecuted. And they are sent to prison. Unfortunately, some parents think more with their heart than their minds. The result? A tragedy for everyone. Parents&#8211;no matter how good their intentions&#8211; who get arrested for kidnapping their own children, have to hire a criminal defense lawyer. But wait&#8211;that&#8217;s money that could be better spent improving your life. Not exactly what you had in mind. So how do you take your children legally without hassles and headaches?</p>
<p><i><b>What does the law say?</i></b></p>
<p>First, if possible, get permission. If asked nicely, maybe your x-spouse would agree to give you sole custody of your child and eliminate the need to proceed to Court. If you obtain sole custody this way, you do not need to read on because you are almost home. However, if that is not possible then your former spouse may agree on a joint custody agreement with a passport waiver clause. Such a clause would allow you to apply for a passport on behalf of your child without the need to consult with your former spouse, and thereby giving you the option of going abroad on vacation, with your child - in peace. However, if your mission is to live with you child permanently out of state, the custody agreement needs to say that&#8211; exactly and clearly. In New York, the law says that barring parental permission, a spouse or a custodial parent may take the children out of the state by Court Order. Usually, when there&#8217;s been a difficult relationship between both x- spouses, one spouse will not permit the other to take the kids out of state, much less the country. In these situations, the former spouse may try to use your desire to move as an opportunity to get money from you. The usual offer is that they&#8217;ll let you leave the state, if you agree to drop all child support proceedings or any existing child support court orders. If that happens to you, the most logical step is to go to Court. Normally, a Family Court Judge decides whether or not the relocation out of state with the child would be allowed.</p>
<p><i><b>It&#8217;s your choice&#8211;use your voice.</i></b></p>
<p>Understanding the practical reasons behind the legal challenges that you&#8217;ll face, are easier to accept when you fully appreciate the intentions behind them. The way the law sees it, in you taking your child outside of the state of New York, you are effectively denying your x-spouse their visitation rights. In turn, this basically deprives your former spouse of a meaningful opportunity to maintain a close relationship with your kids. Now you may say that your x-spouse is welcome to visit anytime, or that you&#8217;ll send the child back to New York anytime that your x wants. And in order to do this you may ultimately be prepared to drive the kids cross state lines, both to and from your former spouse&#8217;s home (like taking a cross-country road trip every weekend). Maybe the fact that your move would make it much more difficult for your former spouse to exercise their visitation rights does not entirely dampen your desire for geographical relocation. However, you should understand that a Court must seriously consider the well being of the child first and foremost. Specifically, they consider the following seven issues: 1. Whether the move would be in the child&#8217;s best interest. 2. Whether it is feasible for your former spouse to make a similar move to the same state. 3. Whether your move involves an economic hardship or necessity. (e.g. a job offer). 4. Whether your move involves a new marriage to someone who lives in the state where you&#8217;re moving. 5. Whether you&#8217;re moving for health and medical reasons. 6. Whether your move will negatively impact the relationship between the child and your x. 7. Whether your former spouse has a good faith reason for opposing the move. There&#8217;s one part of this that really isn&#8217;t understood by most parents, is the &#8220;Best Interest Test&#8221;. This test is the way the Courts try to understand the effect that the move may have on any of your family relationships. In determining what the child needs most, the Courts generally look at many things. For example, whether your move will hurt your child&#8217;s ties to your former spouse and the community. These reasons are generally looked at by the Court when those ties are very strong. So if your child has a hard time getting along with your former spouse (and the blame is not attributed to you) then those possibilities are not weighed as heavily.</p>
<p><i><b>Sample Case.</i></b></p>
<p>If your parents and your former spouse&#8217;s parents are also in New York and you&#8217;re planning on moving to New Jersey, then it&#8217;s also likely that your children will not see their grandparents as much as they would have in the past. The quality of the parental relationship usually suffers as a result of moving. The same is true of your child&#8217;s relationship with their grandparents. If your child has a hard time getting along with their grandparents (and the Court decides is not your fault) then you have a better case for getting Court approval for the move. However, most judges usually have enough experience to know when the former spouses are trying to hurt each other by proposing or opposing a residential move. Generally, although a Court may deny you of the right to move with the kids, most &#8220;good faith requests&#8221; are seldom denied.</p>
<p><i><b>In the end, it all works out.</i></b></p>
<p>Ultimately, it&#8217;s the Courts who determine, with the help of your lawyer, (and based on all of the proof you have) whether you have proven that the welfare of your child will not be hurt by a move.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some American working class citizen come to the point in their lives when they find out that they become disabled due to a physical impairment/illness and can no longer perform on their present jobs or cannot hold down any kind of jobs anymore.  To compensate for the income loss, they will go to file for disability insurance claims under the programs of Social Security - Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income.</p>
<p>Initially, after filing for the disability insurance claims, they believe for a while that everything will go smoothly for them. Alas, when they first applied for the Social Security Disability Benefits, very few claimants were ever told how long the process of eventually securing their claims might take. That&#8217;s because of an unfortunate fact, that 60-70% of claims for disability are denied at the initial level. During reconsideration level, even more are denied, up to 80-85%. Because of this, processing for social security disability benefits may take up to 2  years.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re one of the many who filed for disability benefits claims and have received that first notification letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that your case is denied, don&#8217;t panic! Also, since we also given you the statistics of social security disability claims being denied, realize this reality and do not doubt the strength of your case or the severity of your impairments. Nor do you hesitate to file for appeal for this is necessary.  Don&#8217;t fall into the trend of not appealing your claim or file a brand new claim!</p>
<p>So, now that your claim was denied, what do you do, now? Don&#8217;t wait out idly, request for an appeal immediately!  There is a 60-day deadline, time enough for you to file the appeal. The appeal to ask for is a request for reconsideration and you have to go about this yourself, personally even if you have a representation. This is simply to have the appeal request &#8220;officially&#8221; on record at the SSA office where you filed your initial claim.</p>
<p>What will happen if you fail to file for appeal within the 60 day period? The answer to this is that you have lost all your appeal rights and will start over at the very beginning - with a new Social Security Disability or SSI application, which is unfortunate for you because, first you could have the best chance of winning a claim and being awarded benefits if you had gone through the social security disability appeals process. Second point, filing another appeal entirely is a waste of valuable time. Subsequent applications will likely be denied for the same reasons as the first application.</p>
<p>So, don&#8217;t wait out forever feeling sorry for yourself once your case is denied! Contact the social security office and your attorney or non-attorney representative immediately to avoid missing an appeal deadline.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being not married in the universe where you notice couples in each and every pub and club can be a terrible feeling.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new law going into effect 9/1/2005 will likely increase the call for for <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">defensive driving online</a> classes as well as onsite classes and defensive driving video rentings &#038; will grow the number of road screenings dispensed by the State of Texas DPS.
</p>
<p>Commencing Sept. 1 2005, a drivers safety course will be expected for every automobile operators under age 25 that receive a ticket for a moving violation such as speeding if they want to keep it off their record. This isn&#8217;t new in that many cities and county already have this requirement. However, many judges in these counties dismiss the class requirement typically in exchange for provisional period in which, if the driver stays clean of any additional Tickets, the original ticket is ignored. More often than not this agreement typically also requires a fee to the municipality in addition to the probationary period.
</p>
<p>Authored by Dallas Republican John Carona and introduced as Senate Bill 1005,<br />
this new law is even severer for those under eighteen. Automobile operators through the age of Seventeen will be demanded to take a road line 2 text with the Texas DPS in addition to the fine &#038; probation if they want to keep their records clean.
</p>
<p>Those with a lot of personal experience with undergoing violations will not be happy with this law as it shuts a loophole. Ahead of this law judges were allowed to excuse operators under the age of 25 who received a traffic ticket from a <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">Online Defensive Driving</a>. Some lawmakers were worried about teens, especially those who were taught to drive by their parents versus state endorsed instructors. To handle this concern, they amended the road line 1 text requirement for those under eighteen.
</p>
<p>Prior to Sept. 1 2005, there were two segments that pertain to deferred adjudication of misdemeanours. This merely means that if a driver pleaded &#8220;no contest&#8221; to the traffic sections and then did not break any more traffic laws for a period of time set by the court, the ticket would be erased from the driver&#8217;s criminal record. One section of the law specifically treats traffic addresses indicating that a traffic lawbreaker must take an <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">online defensive driving course</a> or attend an guide defensive driving school or class in order to have a fine removed from their record. Misdemeanors are covered in the other section of law allowing judges to define the standard to be reached for &#8220;deferred adjudication&#8221;. Deferred adjudication means: the driver is placed on probation for a length of time &#038; if driver stays ticket free during this period, the original traffic ticket is erased from their record. Deferred adjudication, in addition to the probationary period, usually incurs a fine to the district in which the fine occurred. In many jurisdictions, this second section of the lay has allowed fine to simply fine drivers as long as they didn&#8217;t get additional citation for some period of time of time like 6 months.
</p>
<p>For automobile operators under the age of twenty-five, Texas law SB 1005 eliminates that flexibility &#038; in fact requires those who receive traffic citations &#038; are under 25 to a take <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">defensive driving online</a> or in classroom setting.
</p>
<p>The Texas DPS indicated that an figured 21,000 teens will take the road test each year. All state driver&#8217;s license offices are gearing up to have officers available to conduct more of these tests. DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange said that these offices already conduct road screenings now however as this road test has not been required to obtain a driver&#8217;s license for more than decade, most teens don&#8217;t take it so more officers will need to be available at each DPS faciltiy. Those that do are usually at the request of their parents. Fortunately for the usually cash strapped young motor vehicle operators, the road trial will only tack on another $10 to their already costly traffic citation experience.
</p>
<p>This new law will likely grow the demand for <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">defensive driving online</a> classes in addition to onsite classes and <a href="http://www.officialdefensivedriving.com" rel="nofollow">defensive driving</a> video rentals.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time of year is ideal for sharpening and honing your networking skills. There is not a better time to start building long-term business relationships. Christmas offers a chance to meet new people in a relaxed and social atmosphere whilst maintaining a professional relationship level.</p>
<p>However it is important to uphold your professionalism to make optimum use of the networking opportunities.</p>
<p>Nine common mistakes people make when networking over the festive season include;</p>
<p>1. Not Planning Prior To The Event.</p>
<p>Work out what you want to achieve from going to the festive event. Is it just to relax, have fun and unwind after a busy year? Is it to say thank you to your clients, meet new people or build long-term relationships? Your approach will differ in all these situations. Have a plan prior to attending the event and try to reach set goals. An example might be to obtain three new key contacts or to reaffirm an existing relationship.</p>
<p>2. Running Out Of Business Cards.</p>
<p>There is nothing more embarrassing or unprofessional than when someone asks you for a business card and you can&#8217;t produce one. Always carry too many rather than too few. Being prepared gives you more confidence and entrusts confidence when developing new relationships.</p>
<p>3. Making A Beeline For People You Know</p>
<p>Most people have a great fear of walking into a room full of people they don&#8217;t know. See this as a challenge rather than a handicap and avoid going for the easy option of meeting people you know well first. Certainly acknowledge these people but leave them until the end of the function to catch up with. This will maximise your chances of meeting new people.</p>
<p>Make a goal to meet five new people at an event. Don&#8217;t try and meet everyone of the 100 or so people at an event. Making a lasting impression with a few rather than a shallow interaction with many is far more beneficial.</p>
<p>4. Talking Too Much</p>
<p>Avoid talking too much about yourself. This is probably the biggest turn-off for prospective clients or alliance partners.</p>
<p>5. Not Listening</p>
<p>Business is all about providing solutions to people&#8217;s problems. How can you understand their problems if you don&#8217;t ask questions and listen? Use active listening skills to build rapport and gain a true understanding of their issues and concerns.</p>
<p>6. Hard Sell</p>
<p>Networking events are your opportunity to develop relationships. Avoid the hard-sell and get to know the person you are speaking with. Once the relationship has been established the business will come. Initial hard selling may have the opposite effect and drive the person away.</p>
<p>7. Lack Of Clarity</p>
<p>Research shows that 95 per cent of business people are often asked, particularly at a networking function &#8220;what do you do?&#8221;</p>
<p>Many have difficulty articulating what they do, particularly in conveying the benefits of their position to a prospective client. Having a &#8216;personal branding statement&#8217; (PBS) really helps in this situation. It helps to clarify how you or your business can solve their problems and takes all the stress out of answering this question!</p>
<p>8. Over Indulgence</p>
<p>As with all things in life, moderation is key. In this context it includes limiting consumption of alcohol to an acceptable level and being mindful when introducing yourself to people. Remember you are a professional regardless of the situation or time of year. Respect those around you and your personal and professional responsibilities.</p>
<p>9. Not Following Up</p>
<p>Many people simply fail to follow-up on the prospects or business leads they meet at festive networking events. Put in place a system to follow-up, otherwise many of your networking efforts will be wasted. This can be as simple as an email or phone call to acknowledge your interaction and does not have to be business related. A relationship which might not seem to be initially good for your business may lead to you being referred on, one of the strongest marketing tools used to generate more business.</p>
<p>Good luck networking and building your social capital!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A corporation is the biggest type of business entity. So how does one creates one of these giants? But first it is important to define the term CORPORATION- a corporation is an artificial legal entity which is chartered by a state and formed to conduct business. A corporation is completely a distinct and separate entity from its owners, it has its own life and can be held liable for any debts that it may incur. A corporation is also required by law to pay its own taxes. </p>
<p>Every state has their own General Corporation Law or Business Corporation Law that permits practically anyone to acquire a charter in order to conduct a business. The mechanics involve in the creation of a corporation is termed as Articles of Incorporation and there is also a fee to be paid. The start of creating a corporation is with the filing of the Article of Incorporation and then the payment of the required fee to the state office or the office of the Corporation Commissioner. This process is common to the standard type of corporation however the same process occurs in both the limited liability company and the limited liability partnership since many of their offered benefits are the same as those of the traditional corporation.</p>
<p>The Articles of Incorporation are vital components of a corporation and therefore requires for the assistance or the presence of a counsel. The specific content of a certificate of incorporation differs from state to state. Nevertheless, the basic features are the same in all states and these are as follows: the corporation&#8217;s name, the number of shares authorized, the names and addresses of the incorporator/s and also included is the address of a registered office and agent for service of process.</p>
<p>When it comes to the filing there are different approaches that can be employed to hasten the processing. Some people make use of interactive software programs that can help quicken the filing process and then there&#8217;s the convenient tear-out form available in most guides to incorporating. There are also the easy to fill-in-the-blank forms that can be found in state offices. Incorporators may also seek the assistance of a corporate service company to help them in creating the corporation for them but of course within their set standards. Incorporators may also hire a corporate attorney to help them set up their corporation.</p>
<p>The creation of a corporation does not complete the entire part of the process of setting up a business. There are still some requirements that have to be satisfied and the hiring of an attorney to help in the creation of the corporation is by far the wisest decision that any incorporator may implement. The great thing about having an attorney to help in the creation of a corporation is that all the by-laws and resolutions as well as all the other legalities involved are correctly done. Not only that, incorporators are assured that all their rights and benefits are protected when the time comes for them to operate their business. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> On Sept. 30, 2004 Merck announced a worldwide withdrawal of Vioxx&#174; (rofecoxib). Vioxx had previously been prescribed in the treatment of arthritis and pain. Worldwide sales of Vioxx in 2003 were an estimated $2.5Billion and the drug was marketed in more than 80 countries around the world. This is one of several recent pharmaceutical products to have been put in the spotlight by both the national media and plaintiff lawyers.<br /> Since sometime in the mid to late 90s a substantial number of pharmaceutical medications and medical devices have been removed from the market due to possible adverse health implications. The FDA acts as a regulatory body in approving health related products before they are marketed to consumers. The FDA moved to ban Ephedra in the US in 2004. However, the recent headlines about voluntary drug withdrawals have produced questions as to the FDA&#8217;s recent performance. <br /> Many people believe that the FDA did not test the drugs rigorously enough to determine all the possible health problems that they might cause. People believe that the rise in litigation over these medications was due to the fact that the FDA now allows pharmaceutical companies to &#8220;fast track&#8221; their products and get them through the process in a year. In fact, Vioxx was only released in 1999.<br /> Some of the latest drugs where concerns have also arose are Bextra, Celebrex and Zyprexa. Litigation over these drugs may commence in the near future. US plaintiff lawyers have begun to put some serious time and research into possible claims that may arise from pharmaceutical drugs. Plaintiff lawyers also handle Mesothelioma, Car Accident, and a wide variety of different personal injury cases.<br /> If you think that you may have been injured by one of these drugs that have recently made headlines, you may consider consulting with a lawyer. Many plaintiff attorneys handle cases on a contingency basis. <br />________________________<br />You may reproduce this article on your website.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the improvement or construction of railroads, railroad workers are very much prone to accidents. In this instance, the injured has the right to ask for proper compensation from the railroad company for the damages that he has endured. However, this is only possible if the victim can prove that the railroad company is the one that&#8217;s at fault of the incident. Basically, you&#8217;ll need a railroad accident lawyer to help you understand your legal rights and options towards the success of your lawsuit.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve been injured, you have to get a railroad accident lawyer as soon as possible. You have to keep in mind that your railroad company will do everything to protect their reputation. It also has their own legal experts who will investigate the case and will prove in court that the company has nothing to do with what you&#8217;ve endured. For this, you have to act immediately or else, you&#8217;re going to experience pain and suffering all by yourself. Through an attorney, you&#8217;ll properly determine the right amount of personal injury claim.</p>
<p>In addition, there are several things that you have to consider when you decide to file a railroad accident lawsuit. After the incident, your company will surely offer your company doctor to check your physical condition. As expected, this doctor will protect your company and can come up with bogus medical reports. Therefore, agreeing with this setup is not advisable. If possible, have your own physician conduct medical check-ups on you. This will ensure factual information that you can use as evidences for your case.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you have to know your legal rights first before finally deciding to talk to the railroad&#8217;s lawyers. If you don&#8217;t know about it, have someone who is knowledgeable on this matter to back you up during the conversation. By doing this, you&#8217;ll be able to preserve the amount of compensation that you only deserve. After all, you have to recover the maximum amount of damages that you&#8217;ve incurred in the railroad accident. </p>
<p>Indeed, your railroad company has the responsibility to provide a safe working environment and properly-functioning work equipment. And if you&#8217;ve been harmed in your workplace due to the fault of your railroad company, don&#8217;t think twice to contact a legal specialist who can help you preserve your legal rights. Hiring an experienced railroad accident attorney in this area of law is really critical to your lawsuit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting a corporation designated as an &#8220;S&#8221; can be a bit confusing. If you are committed to getting an &#8220;S&#8221; corporation, here is how you do it. </p>
<p>&#8220;S&#8221; Corporation</p>
<p>The &#8220;S&#8221; in S corporation refers primarily to a tax designation. While electing to be an S corporation does have legal implications, such as no more than 75 shareholders, the designation really concerns pass through tax issues. Put in layman&#8217;s terms, the designation simply means the corporation will &#8220;pass through&#8221; its taxes to shareholder in proportion to their ownership interests. This allows shareholders to claim profits and losses directly on their taxes and avoid the double taxation of a C corporation. </p>
<p>To become an S corporation, you must file an election with the IRS. Typically, no documentation is require to be filed with any state entity, but make sure to check you particular jurisdiction. Regardless, the filing with the IRS is made using form &#8220;2553 - Election by a Small Business Corporation.&#8221; </p>
<p>To fill out form 2553, you will need to supply the following information:</p>
<p>1. The name and address of the corporation,</p>
<p>2. The tax year to be covered by the election,</p>
<p>3. The date the corporation first had shareholders or began doing business,</p>
<p>4. The name, address and social security number of EACH shareholder, and</p>
<p>5. The signature of EACH shareholder. </p>
<p>If you have shareholders located around the country, making an &#8220;S&#8221; election filing can be problematic. Getting everyone to sign off on the document can take time and time is not on your side. </p>
<p>Time Requirements</p>
<p>The IRS puts strict deadlines on filing &#8220;S&#8221; elections. In technical terms, the election must be filed before the 15th day of the third month of the tax year for which you are electing the status. Ah, the IRS is so poetic. </p>
<p>In laymen&#8217;s terms, you should file the election within 75 days of the incorporation. From a practical point of view, I suggest you get the election signed and filed as absolutely soon as possible. You should also file the election through registered mail so you have a little proof if the IRS claims a late filing.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know why, but the IRS gets cranky when it comes to S elections. If you follow the above steps and get the filing in as soon as possible, you should be okay.
