The total of 1,179 small and mid-sized business for sale deals closed in California last month represents a 3.6% decline from the 1,223 completed transactions recorded during January of last year, according to the BizBen Index which tracks transactions involving the sale of small businesses throughout the state. "Part of the reason fewer deals closed last month is that some of the sale contracts that might have been wrapped up in January were pushed into completion back in December, when possible. That's because many owners wanted to avoid the higher capital gains ...

In a world where each year demands more productivity out of the same 24 hours, video conferencing is becoming an increasingly common practice. But the new paradigm has also meant that making a good first impression now includes looking one's best as well. To address this need, CosmetiCare (http://www.cosmeticare.com) has launched a new service called the 'Skype Lift.' "The importance of making a good first impression hasn't changed, but the methods for making that first impression certainly have," says Dr. Michael Niccole, founder of CosmetiCare in Orange County. ...

HTG, Inc., headquartered in Vancouver, WA, is in a growth spurt, often bidding against the biggest in the industry and lately, more often than not, winning. To Macaulay, this win is more evidence that he can be a lot smaller than his competitors to get the larger contracts in systems integration. Though the contract is another of many similar system conversions for HTG, the project involves client sites in 38 of 50 states. Macaulay says scar tissue and scalability are the keys to making projects of this size manageable. "Sure at the onset these multi-site, nationwide ...

Operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI), also known as driving under the influence (DUI), is a serious charge in Ohio. Conventional penalties -- like fines and jail time -- can be very steep for Ohioans convicted of a drunk driving offense. Yet, some of the most significant penalties for OVI are those that are unique to drunk driving crimes. The possibility of being forced to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle is not only inconvenient and embarrassing, but could also mean substantial monetary costs. Ignition interlocks force you to take a breath ...

An Ohio man sentenced in December of 2012 found out the hard way that repeat drunk driving convictions can lead to serious trouble. Ricky Slabaugh, 49, was hammered in court with a five year prison sentence after racking up his ninth felony conviction of driving under the influence. Not every repeat drunk driving offense results in such a steep penalty. Nonetheless, Mr. Slaubaugh's example serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of avoiding conviction when it comes to repeat drunk driving charges. Penalties get progressively steeper for multiple DUIs In ...

When you're injured at work, you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, which cover the cost of your medical treatment, provide you with partial wage replacement and in some instances pay for vocational rehabilitation. Yet, your employer or your employer's workers' comp insurer may try to say money by denying or limiting your claim for benefits. One of the most common ways an employer or insurer tries to deny benefits is by saying that the injury did not actually occur at work -- in other words, that you were injured while doing something outside the scope of ...

In the average year, more than one thousand South Carolinians lose their lives in preventable motor vehicle accidents. According to government data, motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of Americans age 5 to 34, and are one of the top ten causes of death for all age groups. The human toll of fatal car accidents is truly devastating -- nothing can replace the loss of a loved one. Yet, there are also substantial financial costs for those left behind when a family member loses his or her life in a car crash. Loss of future earnings most significant monetary ...

Hybrid vehicles have a lot of benefits. Because they get much better gas mileage than traditional vehicles, hybrids are excellent both for the environment and for their owners' pocketbooks. However, they also pose a unique danger that many people are not aware of -- because hybrid engines are so quiet, pedestrians and cyclists often cannot hear them, making car accidents that much more likely. The risk is even higher for individuals with visual impairments who rely on their sense of sound to let them know when vehicles are approaching. In response to this problem, the ...

On Monday, January 28, 2013, a Bipartisan group of Senators introduced a blueprint for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). The Senators, dubbed the "Gang of Eight," include Shumer, McCain, Durbin, Graham, Menendez, Rubio, Bennett and Flake. With four Senators hailing from each side of the aisle, this is the first attempt at meaningful immigration reform since the ill-fated McCain/Kennedy proposal of some 8 years ago. Meanwhile, President Obama is determined to address the proposal and it is rumored that the Whitehouse's vision for reform will be somewhat more ...

Using a qualified lawyer to help you accomplish this goal A large percentage of business entrepreneurs rent their business premises rather than purchasing them. Negotiating good lease terms is critical to your company's ultimate chances of success. If your lease expenses are too large a percentage of your overall overhead, no matter how well you do with the rest of your business operations, your business may be in trouble from the start. Don't go into commercial lease negotiations unprepared or for that matter without an experienced attorney, particularly if you are ...

This winter, a number of snowstorms have moved through New York. In late January and early February 2013, Parts of western and central New York received 15 to 21 inches. This is not the end of it, though. Even more weather that is treacherous is expected to move through the entire state over the next couple of months. With poor winter conditions in sight, it is important that motorists exercise safe driving practices on the streets. Snow and ice breed slippery roadways, which are extremely hazardous to drivers. If you must attack the roads in winter, be certain that ...

Sometimes it can be hard enough to get child support out of your son or daughter's other parent even when the other parent lives nearby. Imagine the difficulty if your ex lives in another state. Because of the challenges of distance, differences among the states' family laws and the legal tangle when more than one states' courts issue child support orders concerning the same parent and child, federal law requires that all states, including Texas, adopt the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act, often referred to as the UIFSA. The UIFSA provides an interstate system ...

A tumble here. A concussion there. Many athletes view these events -- and any resulting injuries -- as just part of the game. But head injuries can be very serious, especially for people who are not athletes. A recent study links repetitive head injuries to a degenerative brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Details of the study The four-year study conducted by researchers at Boston University examined the autopsy results of 85 men, many of whom were athletes who had played such sports as football, boxing and hockey. Veterans were also included ...

Experienced North Carolina sex crimes defense attorney Patrick Roberts of Roberts Law Group, PLLC, recently helped a local college student avoid rape charges. The student wisely secured legal representation early enough in the investigation and no charges were ever filed against him. The student had been accused of sexually assaulting a female after a college party. He would have faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted of what could have been a charge of 1st degree forcible rape. He would also have faced a term of 30 years of being forced to register as a sex offender. ...

Every business owner's aim is to attract customers but they are sometimes so busy with work that they neglect their own image - then wonder why clients are not flocking to their doors. You would not, presumably, get your hair done by someone whose own hair was a mess or take health and nutrition advice from a practitioner who was seriously overweight and smoked heavily. Similarly, your clients need to see that you practise what you preach - you have to model the behaviour you want to see in your clients. If you are recommending that your clients update their website, ...

A survey released by npower shows that Brits are baffled when it comes to the history of technology, with the average guess 36 years out. npower research showed that while many believe these life-changing gadgets came into existence in the last 50 or 60 years, many are actually more than a century old. Take the dishwasher for example. Invented in the 1890s by Josephine Cochran, the dishwasher is a Victorian invention and has been around for more than 120 years. Yet Brits believe it was actually invented in the 1970s, more than 80 years out. Another big misconception ...

ARGONNE, Ill. (Feb. 6, 2013) -- The Art Institute of Chicago teamed up with Argonne National Laboratory to unravel a decades-long debate among art scholars about what kind of paint Picasso used to create his masterpieces. The results published last month in the journal Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing adds significant weight to the widely held theory that Picasso was one of the first master painters to use common house paint rather than traditional artists' paint. That switch in painting material gave birth to a new style of art marked by canvasses covered ...

Facebook and other social networking technologies could serve as effective tools for preventing HIV infection among at-risk groups, new UCLA research suggests. In a study published in the February issue of the peer-reviewed journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, researchers found that African American and Latino men who have sex with men voluntarily used health-related Facebook groups, which were created by the study's investigators, to discuss such things as HIV knowledge, stigma and prevention and ultimately to request at-home HIV testing kits. "Researchers, policymakers ...

HOUSTON -- (Feb. 6, 2013) -- A new Rice University-led study finds the real estate mantra "location, location, location" may also explain one of Earth's enduring climate mysteries. The study suggests that Earth's repeated flip-flopping between greenhouse and icehouse states over the past 500 million years may have been driven by the episodic flare-up of volcanoes at key locations where enormous amounts of carbon dioxide are poised for release into the atmosphere. "We found that Earth's continents serve as enormous 'carbonate capacitors,'" said Rice's Cin-Ty Lee, the lead ...

A minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots in brain tissue after hemorrhagic stroke appears safe and may also reduce long-term disability, according to late-breaking research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. Of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) each year, most are severely debilitated, said Daniel Hanley, M.D., lead author and professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md. ICH is the most common type of bleeding stroke. It occurs when ...

Eating Southern-style foods may be linked to a higher risk of stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2013. In the first large-scale study on the relationship between Southern foods and stroke, researchers characterized a Southern diet by a high intake of foods such as fried chicken, fried fish, fried potatoes, bacon, ham, liver and gizzards, and sugary drinks such as sweet tea. In addition to being high in fat, fried foods tend to be heavily salted. "We've got three major factors working together in ...
