An organization I am quite familiar with is selling chocolate bars as a fundraiser. The executive director of the non-profit organization has been trying to find out how much of the profit on chocolate bars her organization was given, but the companies who sold the chocolate bars aren't telling, so she's a bit worried.

I was just wondering if there's a typical percent given to the organization?

I have two daughters who file their own taxes, which means i do not claim them as dependents. One lives at home (age 18 full time college and part time work) and the other has been away in another state for two years (age 21full time college and full time work) My question is on the new insurance plan - it states "dependents up to age 25 covered" Is there an advantage to making them dependent? What would I need to do to get them insurance coverage?

I have a full-time office job during the week and also work a part-time retail job on the weekends only. My availability has always only been Saturday and Sunday because I have a full-time job. I've had my retail job for almost 8 years now and know I am well liked because I work hard. This year, I was told after-the-fact that they put me on the schedule to work on Black Friday. Since I didn't show up for work, they put me down as what they call a "No-Show Employee." Can they fire me for this without giving me proper notice? FYI I am over 40 and female and have a good employment record. I am hoping there are some lawyers out there who see this question and/or a law student who can provide me with an answer. If they did fire me, would I have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit? Thanks in advance for your answers.

OK, here's my question. I put up on youtube my favorite TV commercials ever, about 2 years ago. Yes, I don't own the rights to it it's over 10 years old, (Superbown 1997)

(See it below it's still floating around youtube ---> http://youtube.com/watch?v=ho9WiVrYRv8

This commercial is a parody of the YMCA they don't use the same lyrics. I did name the file "YMCA Pepsi Bears Superbowl 1997"

This week it was taken down by youtube due to a copyright infringement notice. (here it is)----> "This is to notify you that we have removed or disabled access to the following material as a result of a third-party notification by Scorpio Music S.A. / Can't Stop Productions claiming that this material is infringing"

Why in the world would the publishing company care about this? I really doubth they are loosing sales due to a TV ad parody. I'm really tired of media companies complaining about trivial crap like this. If this is the case, shouldn't the YMCA organization complain to Scorpio?

Why would you want to buy a put or a call? Suppose you thought Apple's new I-Phone would be a huge boom for Apple, would you buy a put or a call on the stock? In order to answer this question, take a look at what Apple (trading symbol AAPL) is selling at right now and what it's puts and calls are selling for. With derivatives likes puts and calls, can an investor stand to make a lot of money with a minimal cash investment? Why? What about if he/she guesses wrong, do they loss a lot of money?

I know for a fact that my mail doesnt arrive at all or in this case very late. Talk about snail mail. I've called the office etc..They need more help thats for sure. I'm on the upper #'s to receive my mail for the day;so if it's after the bank closes or it's a weekend-forget about it. Also, if your package is too big or you need to sign for something ,.you wont know about it until after hours, so you wait again. And if you work until 4or 5pm your screwed again.Can you tell I'm a little fed up? Any suggestions/

When I opened my business and DBA, I am now constantly getting flooded with new offers to open more credit line. How do I stop this? I have already tried to remove my name from the credit bureaus, but how do I also remove my business name as well? I don't like the idea of new credit card offers being sent out and anyone can easily get a hold of it and commit identity fraud.

I am thinking of leaving home when I turn 18 because of serious issues at home. I am currently 15 and I need to start thinking about how to make money to financially support myself. I live in Japan right right now and go to a private international school here. I really want to go to a college in America. I know I need to find jobs already at this time, but the problem is my parents don't let me go outside the house alone or socialize with my friends (meaning I can't find any excuses to go outside the house). Then, I thought doing jobs on the internet would do. However, I came to realize that even if I do find a job, the money would either be transfered to a bank or through mail. Since my parents do not allow me to work, I certainly wouldn't want them finding out about this. I really can't find any solution.I can't seem to sleep or focus on anything because of the things happening to me.Advice on how to be able to live independantly, what to take care of and money wud rly be appreciated

I work for a hotel as a front desk clerk. The manager scheduled me to work nine days in a row. When I confronted him about this he said it was in two different pay periods so he could do this. He told me that he works more than that. Is this legal?
