My father has worked 60 hours a week for nearly his whole life. His company now decides to stop paying their employees overtime because they are not meeting their greedy needs (they already make 6 million a month, quite a huge sum for what the company does). It is legal to refuse to pay overtime. If so, what can be done?

I have four kids and as of today we are literally homeless. We have no where to go. We lost our house because the landlord was a slum lord and we had no air conditioner for over a month, i discovered the mold in the walls from Katrina. and the cabinets were falling apart and he was suppose to change those and he never did. Now I have no where to live with four kids. I took them to stay with their father but they did not want to go. I will have to live on the streets with no money and no one too help. I have tried almost every agency i can for assistance and i keep reaching a dead end. Does anyone know of any place that can help me with either shelter or finances. I received call to move into an apartment tomorrow but i dont have the money to pay as it was spent on hotel for the past 3 week and the cost of food is expensive. Please I need help now. I live in the New Orleans area. My husband is overseas and he can not help me. I have no family here and they will not help me

I am looking to get a home owners policy with Homesite. They require a 25% down payment and monthly payments. I am thinking I might want to change policies in 2 or 3 months. If I cancel will I be charged anything beyond the monthly cost, ie a termination or set up fee.
I looked for info on the web site, but they don't have contract details on there.

I was driving in the car with a friend, listening to a music radio station. The station cut to a Verizon Commercial. In the middle of the verizon radio commercial; on the right hand side of the road, was a Verizon Store.
Coincidence or Conspiracy Theory

Is it possible that my friend's car was 'Radio Targeted' with a verizon commercial as we passed by the verizon store???

We are trying to avoid paying $500 for event insurance, is there a way around it? We are thinking we can have people sign a waiver but we are planning for over 200 people. We have NO FUNDS. We are trying to raise money for other projects in the neighborhood. Is there another way to protect ourselves that doesn't leave us vulnerable to lawsuits?

if you leave your car running and walk away from it for a second and you see someone jump in it and take off while you run back and are hanging on to the door for dear life while they screech off .... will the theft insurance be covered?

Dustin Clemens, the accounting and finance manager for a manufacturer. At year-end, he must determine how to account for the company's contingencies. His manager objects to Clemen's proposal to recognize an expense and a liability for a warranty service on units of a new product introduced in the fourth quarter. His manager says, "There's no way we can estimate this warranty cost. We don't owe anyone until a product fails and it is returned. Let's report an expense if and when we do any warranty work."

How would you defend Clemen's proposal?
