I will be having my first baby in about 7 weeks. The hospital has told us that it is law for my baby to receive the eye prophylaxis. They could not show me the law on paper. I have also not been able to find this law.
I know many states, or perhaps all, have laws regarding this. I also know that many mommas find loopholes though. From my understanding, in some states, it is law that the hospital offer it but not law that the mother allows it to be administered.
When I questioned the hospital I was told it was law and CPS would be called if I did not allow it.
Does anyone know where I can find the law? I want to see it for myself before I allow an unnecessary intervention be performed on my son.

For Rebecca Bloomwood, life is peachy. She has a job on morning TV, her bank manager is actually being nice to her, and when it comes to spending money, her new motto is Buy Only What You Need - and she's really (sort of) sticking to it. The icing on the brioche is that she's been offered a chance to work in New York. New York! The Museum of Modern Art! The Guggenheim! The Metropolitan Opera House! And Becky does mean to go to them all. Honestly. It's just that it seems silly not to check out a few other famous places first. Like Saks. And Bloomingdales. And Barneys. And one of those fantastic sample sales where you can get a Prada dress for $10. Or was it $100? Is Becky too dazzled to care? .

Must_Read: Alisdair McKay and Ricardo Reis: Designing effective automatic stabilisers of the business cycle: "Brexit has raised the possibility of a recession on both sides of the Atlantic. Unable to use traditional remedies like monetary or fiscal policy stimulus, policymakers may consider automatic fiscal stabilisers. This column examines the impact of automatic stabilisers through social insurance on the business cycle, and how its impact can be used to mitigate recession. Unemployment insurance or food stamps would be better than progressive taxes at stimulating aggregate demand. The main economic channels policymakers must consider are those related to risk and precautionary savings.
? AA Related The long-term decline in US prime-age male labour force participation and policies to address it Sandra E. Black, Jason Furman, Emma Rackstraw, Nirupama Rao Fiscal policy for enduring growth Marco Buti, Vitor Gaspar Automatic stabilisers and the global crisis Mathias Dolls, Clemens Fuest, Andreas Peichl As the prospects of a recession in the near term have risen on both sides of the Atlantic in the wake of the Brexit referendum, there is a strong concern that traditional aggregate demand policies will not be available. Monetary policy may be running out of stimulative tools, and the political mood is against the use of discretionary fiscal stimulus. A remaining available option is the use of automatic fiscal stabilisers.
The social insurance system stands at the centre of automatic stabilisers, yet we still know too little about how it affects the macroeconomy (Blanchard et al. 2010). There is a large literature on optimal social insurance systems, and how to balance the insurance value of insulating individuals from fluctuations in their market income against the incentive cost of reducing the return to work (Mirrlees 1971, Varian 1980, Baily 1978). But much less is known about how these policies stabilise the business cycle.
In a new paper, we investigate how the social insurance system affects the dynamics of the business cycle, and whether its stabilising effects call for a more or less generous social insurance system (McKay and Reis 2016a). We focus on two key programmes: a progressive tax system, and unemployment insurance. We find that unemployment insurance has a substantial stabilising effect on the business cycle, and as a result the optimal policy is to have a more generous unemployment benefit than would be optimal in a world without macroeconomic fluctuations. On the other hand, the progressivity of the tax appears to have little effect on the business cycle.
Why does unemployment insurance stabilise the business cycle? When households become unemployed, they reduce their consumption sharply (e.g. Browning and Crossley 2001). As a result, in a recession, the low consumption of unemployed individuals relative to the employed leads to a decline in aggregate consumption demand. By reducing the consumption impact of unemployment, a more generous unemployment insurance system mitigates this fall in aggregate demand. Unemployment insurance is a transfer from employed workers to unemployed workers and the marginal propensity to consume seems to be larger for individuals experiencing a period of low income such as unemployment (Parker et al. 2013). This transfer component of unemployment insurance is particularly important because households that have been unemployed for more than a few months have often depleted many of their other resources to smooth their consumption in the face of unemployment, leaving them more likely to spend out of the transfer (Kekre 2016).
While this redistribution channel based on marginal propensities to consume is the classic explanation of how unemployment benefits function as an automatic stabiliser, we find that benefits have an even more important effect on the economy. Households face considerable uncertainty over employment and over the wages they earn when employed. The fear of losing their income because of an unemployment spell in the future leads workers to want to save, and so reduce their consumption. That is, unemployment reduces aggregate consumption demand not just by reducing the current income of unemployed workers but also by inducing precautionary savings by all workers who fear the possibility of unemployment. By making unemployment less painful, unemployment benefits reduce these concerns and give workers confidence to spend.
Why is stabilising the business cycle valuable? Economists have pointed out many welfare costs of business cycle fluctuations. First, recessions can result in inefficient levels of unemployment and hours worked, because different frictions and deviations from perfect competition do not allow the invisible hand to operate. Second, recessions are times of elevated risk for individual households (Guvenen et al. 2014, Davis and von Wachter 2011), which lead to increased income inequality. From a utilitarian perspective, for a given level of aggregate consumption, inequality reduces welfare as it creates differences in marginal utilities of consumption. Finally, with nominal rigidities, fluctuations in inflation lead to unwarranted dispersion in relative prices, which result in an inefficient allocation of demand across firms.
What is an automatic stabiliser? Our analysis leads to a natural definition of the term 'automatic stabiliser'. The unemployment insurance system is an automatic stabiliser because even with a fixed generosity of benefits, the system stimulates aggregate demand in a recession more than it does in an expansion. One way to put this is that there is a negative correlation between the output gap and the elasticity of output with respect to the level of benefits. This property is the hallmark of an automatic stabiliser.
Are these considerations quantitatively important? When we quantify our model, we find that business cycle stabilisation considerations increase the optimal unemployment benefit replacement quite substantially. We find that in the optimal unemployment insurance replacement rate is 49%, while it would be 36% in the absence of business cycles. This finding reflects two components of our analysis. First, the unemployment insurance system is very effective at stabilising the business cycle by dampening the cyclical swings in household precautionary savings motives. Second, recessions have large welfare costs due to the increase in uninsurable risks that households face.
While similar arguments can be put forward for the benefit of more progressive income taxes, both in terms of redistributing resources in a recession and by lowering precautionary savings, progressive income taxes have a stronger negative effect on average economic activity and a more limited effect on volatility, because of the comparatively small variation in income of those continuously employed during the business cycle. Therefore, we find that considering automatic stabilisation has a negligible effect on the desired level of progressivity.
Conclusion Recent estimates suggest that existing automatic stabilisers provide little actual stabilisation, with the exception of small programmes like food stamps in US (McKay and Reis 2016b). In great part, this happens because of the way these programmes were designed, with optimal social insurance in mind, while business-cycle stabilisation was treated as a fortuitous side benefit. Fiscal policy in recessions has then ended up relying on large discretionary fiscal stimulus packages that are too often slow to be adopted, imprecisely targeted, time inconsistent, and as distortionary as they are potentially stimulative.
Designing better automatic stabilisers holds the promise of achieving a more efficient business cycle and reducing the use of ad hoc fiscal stimulus packages. The new research described here tries to understand how large redistributive programmes like unemployment insurance and progressivity of income taxes affect the business cycle, and how to trade off their macroeconomic stabilisation role with their social insurance role. While the policy conclusions from this work are still far from being definite, they already point to unemployment insurance or food stamps as programmes to focus on (as opposed to progressive income taxes), and to the main economic channels at play and variables to measure being those related to risk and precautionary savings (as opposed to marginal propensities to consume).

Must-Read: Danny Yagan: Is the Great Recession Really Over?: "" Longitudinal Evidence of Enduring Employment Impacts∗ Danny Yagan UC Berkeley and NBER July 2016 Abstract The severity of the Great Recession varied across U.S. local areas. Comparing two million workers within firms across space, I find that starting the recession in a below- median 2007-2009-employment-shock area caused workers to be 1.0 percentage points less likely to be employed in 2014, relative to starting the recession elsewhere. This enduring impact holds even when controlling for current local unemployment rates, which have converged across space. The results demonstrate limits to U.S. local labor market integration and suggest hysteresis effects culminating in labor force exit.

Three academic grants will support research on how economic inequality affects macroeconomic growth and stability:
Jess Benhabib, Alberto Bisin, and Mi Luo of New York University will assess how the distribution of earned income, the rate of return for various assets, and the nature of bequests determine wealth inequality. Gauti Eggertsson and Neil Mehrotra of Brown University will build a model to demonstrate how higher income inequality has reduced the natural rate of interest through increased overall saving. Adriana Kugler and Ammar Farooq of Georgetown University will examine whether extensions of unemployment insurance benefits improve job-match quality, and the role that unemployment insurance plays in improving worker outcomes. Three doctoral grants will support further research on the macroeconomy:
Alexander Bartik of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will explore the distributional implications of fracking and mass transit expansions using longitudinal U.S. Census Bureau microdata. John Coglianese of Harvard University will construct a comprehensive measure of underemployment and integrate it into commonly-used economic models to showcase the effects of underemployment on the functioning of the labor market. Andrew Elrod of the University of California-Santa Barbara will examine how the reorganization of the U.S. banking sector after World War II altered the relationship between profitable investment and macroeconomic stability.

Two academic grants will support research on how economic inequality affects the development of human capital, and to what extent aggregate trends in human capital explain inequality dynamics:
Christopher Jencks and Beth Truesdale of Harvard University will investigate the relationship between inequality and health outcomes, which will further research on the relationship between income and life expectancy. Marta Murray-Close and Joya Misra of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst will construct estimates of how parenthood contributes to the gender wage gap and, in turn, how supporting working parents is key to promoting gender equity. Three doctoral grants will support further research on human capital:
Sydnee Caldwell of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will draw on employer-employee data to document access to high-wage firms and movements between high- and low-wage firms over the span of a worker's career. Blythe George of Harvard University will focus on the lack of employment options and life outcomes on the Yurok and Hoopa Valley Native American tribal reservations. Mariana Zerpa of the University of Arizona will explore the impact of large-scale, publicly-funded preschool education programs on health and developmental outcomes for children ages 4 to 12. Innovation
Two academic grants will support research on how economic inequality affects the quantity and quality of innovation, and whether technology innovations, in turn, impact inequality:
Kyle Herkenhoff of the University of Minnesota and Gordon Phillips of Dartmouth College will study access to credit, via the removal of bankruptcy flags, on key outcomes, including business formation rates, earnings, and profitability. Heidi Williams of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Patrick Kline of the University of California-Berkeley, Neviana Petkova of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Owen Zidar of the University of Chicago will create a new dataset that links patent applications to business tax records to estimate the relative effects of patent-generated monopoly rents on firm returns and worker wages. Two doctoral grants will support further research on innovation:
Xavier Jaravel of Harvard University will examine whether economic inequality affects the type of innovation that takes place and who benefits from that innovation. Hannah Rubinton of Princeton University will analyze how trends in firm start-up rates affect consumer welfare and productivity growth. Governance and Institutions
Three academic grants will support research on how levels and trends in economic inequality affect the quality of social and political institutions that contribute to economic well-being and economic growth:
Manasi Deshpande of the University of Chicago, Tal Gross of Columbia University, and Jialan Wang of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will quantify how public assistance affects households' financial well-being through increasing access to credit. Jane Waldfogel and Ann Bartel of Columbia University, Maya Rossin-Slater of the University of California-Santa Barbara, and Christopher Ruhm of the University of Virginia will investigate inequality in employer-provided paid parental leave in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Joan Williams of the University of California-Hastings College of the Law, Susan Lambert of the University of Chicago, and Saravanan Kesavan of the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flager Business School will continue research on whether shifting hourly workers to more stable schedules results in cost savings and increases business productivity. One doctoral grant will support further research on governance and institutions:
Ellora Derenoncourt of Harvard University will use online lab experiments and employee-employer matched data to look at labor market decisions, testing for individual social preferences over payoff distributions.#

February 29, 2012
The House of Representatives voted 303-114 yesterday to repeal the Education Department's (ED) state authorization and credit hour regulations that went into effect July 1, 2011.
One amendment offered by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) also passed, which repeals the distinction between "clock hours" and "credit hours" included in the new rule. This distinction would have limited the amount of federal financial aid students enrolled in clock-hour programs could receive.
The state authorization regulation forces institutions to meet any state requirements necessary to offer distance education in the state where the student is located, a process which is extremely complicated for institutions and greatly increases the cost of providing those courses.
The new credit hour definition opens the door to federal interference in core academic decisions better left to individual institutions. It is also ambiguous, and the lack of effective guidance on implementation could pose serious compliance challenges for campuses.
Proponents of the bill during Tuesday's debate said the credit hour and state authorization regulations would lead to undue burdens on colleges and universities, ultimately driving up costs for students. The bill's detractors argued that repealing the regulations would undermine ED's ability to safeguard the federal government's investment in student aid programs.
President Obama issued a Statement of Administration Policy against the bill Monday but has not indicated whether he will veto it if it passes the Senate.
"The first principle of federal support for higher education is the Department of Education will not meddle in academic affairs," said ACE President Molly Corbett Broad on the bill's passage. "We are pleased that a bipartisan majority of the House agrees."
Although not related to H.R. 2117, opponents of the bill brought up the upcoming increase in the interest rate for subsidized Stafford Loans. Rates for newly-issued Stafford loans currently are scheduled to increase from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent as of July 1.
ACE, in coalition with 98 higher education organizations, sent a letter Monday to House members asking them to vote in favor of the bill. Foxx cited portions of the letter during the debate.
"We see no justification for two regulations that so fundamentally alter the relationships among the federal government, states, accreditors and institutions," the groups wrote. "We believe the outcome of this unprecedented regulatory overreach will be inappropriate federal interference in campus-based decisions in which the faculty play a central role. The end result will be a curtailment of student access to high-quality education opportunities."
A Senate version of the bill (S. 1297) was introduced in June 2011.
For more information on the regulations, see talking points ACE issued after the House Committee on Education and the Workforce approved the bill last summer.

*this is a collaborative post
Today, personal grooming plays an important role in the daily routines of many men. Not only does it have the power to transform your appearance and boost your confidence, but it can also help you to overcome specific problems that you may feel embarrassed or self-conscious about. However, enhancing your looks doesn't come without its trials and tribulations. Here are three common male grooming problems – along with suggestions on how they can be solved.
1. Hair loss
Lots of men experience hair loss, and some embrace the change and quickly get used to their new appearance. However, for some the shedding of tresses is a major concern. Whether it's caused by a genetic condition, stress or a medical problem, hair loss could have a significant impact on your self-esteem and make you feel uncomfortable about the way you look. There may be no cure for balding, but fortunately there are a number of treatments available which have been proven to slow down or in some cases even reverse this process. For the chance to regain your youthful looks and boost your confidence, you can get hair loss treatments from most pharmacies or online from sites such as Lloyds Pharmacy.
2. Skin problems

I have to admit that I am slightly obsessed with dystopian novels, and love all those futuristic and manus x machina themes. And, yes, I do have a board on Pinterest.
It may have something to do with the fact that I did culture studies back at uni and read lots of philosophical theories on the subject. Whatever it is, I have been always fascinated with the futuristic beauty.
Here is actually a photo I've posted on Instagram recently.

I am not really someone who is very into celebrities but if you follow me on Pinterest , you could notice that I have a board called Girls where I pin photos of my girl crushes.
Zoë Kravitz and Victoria Beckham often appear in that folder: Zoë is like the most gorgeous and stylish girl ever and Victoria is someone I liked since the Spice Girls era. This is why both news I find to be amazing.
What news exactly?
Apparently, Victoria Beckham collaborated with Estee Lauder, and above she is wearing the products which will be available in several months. Here is what she wrote on her Instagram:Read More

In light of recent food recalls pertaining to frozen raw breaded poultry products, WDG Public Health and Health Canada wanted to share some important food safety tips to consider.
While breaded chicken nuggets, chicken burgers and strips may look like they're pre-cooked, many frozen breaded poultry products are actually raw and need to be handled carefully and cooked thoroughly.
Raw meat and poultry can contain harmful bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. However, Salmonella and other harmful foodborne bacteria can be completely eliminated by cooking thoroughly. Following safe food handling practices can also reduce your chances of getting food poisoning.
Every year, roughly one in eight Canadians (or four million people) get sick with food poisoning, also known as foodborne illness. Many of these illnesses can be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques. The most common symptoms of food poisoning include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. See a health care professional as soon as possible if you think you have a foodborne illness.
If you are preparing frozen raw breaded poultry products, take the following precautions to protect yourself and your family:

Our offices and clinics will be closed on Wednesday, July 1 for the Canada Day holiday. Regular services resume Thursday, July 2.
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has now confirmed 15 cases of mumps primarily in Guelph's high school population just as students are about to start summer vacation or attend summer school.
Public Health is advising students that there is still an outbreak of mumps in the community. Although the 15 confirmed cases centred on Bishop MacDonnell, John F. Ross and Our Lady of Lourdes high schools, Public Health continues to monitor suspect cases in other area high schools.
"We want students to fully participate in summer jobs, volunteering or school, but we also want to stop the outbreak of this potentially serious disease. Students who are off to summer jobs or volunteer opportunities should call and advise their family physician if they begin to develop symptoms, particularly if they are spending the summer around young children or someone with an underlying medical condition," said Dr. Nicola Mercer, Medical Officer of Health of Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health. "If they are attending summer school, students need to be fully vaccinated or they may be excluded from attending class if there is another confirmed case linked to that school."
Mumps was last confirmed in Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph in January 2010. The Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is the best form of defense against the disease.
Mumps is a disease of the salivary glands. It is caused by a virus and can't be treated. Mumps can cause serious illness and result in complications including orchitis (testicular inflammation), meningitis or hearing loss.
The symptoms of mumps may include:
Mumps is spread by breathing in droplets that are sprayed into the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or talks. It can be spread by direct contact with discharge from an infected person's mouth, nose, and throat, or through direct contact with objects used by an infected person.
A person can spread mumps from seven days before the start of symptoms until five days after symptoms appear. It usually takes 12 to 25 days (average 16-18 days) for symptoms to start after someone has been exposed.
There will be no Public Health programs, services or clinics (with the exception of evening clinics at the Chancellors Way location) on Tuesday, Jun. 2, 2015. All offices will be closed for a staff event.
Chancellors Way (Guelph) evening clinics beginning at 4:30pm or later will still operate.
Regular service hours resume Wednesday, Jun. 11.
For assistance, please call 1-800-265-7293.

Fletch Reflected
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1994 - Fiction - 222 pages
When Fletch's newfound son, Jack, decides to help a former lover in distress, his kindness brings him trouble. Shana Staufel is about to marry the son of a multimillionaire, the eccentric inventor of the perfect mirror. But her prenuptial bliss is marred by fears that someone is trying to kill Chester Radliegh, her fiance's father. Jack agrees to go undercover to investigate and is drawn into a bizarre and increasingly deadly family drama.
Jack's arrival is marked with an explosion in the research lab which instantly kills a scientist. Obviously the intended victim, Chester Radliegh is in serious danger. What Jack doesn't know is that the explosion is only the beginning of a killer's quest to murder the inventor. As things heat up, Jack learns there are more suspects than guests at the Radliegh estate. He also knows that if he isn't careful, he could be the next "accidental" fatality.
As he runs out of solutions, Jack is left with one alternative. But "Dad," his last, best hope, is busy trying to help his son's mother recover from diet madness. With some misgivings, Fletch interrupts his worthy endeavor to help Jack out of another predicament, thrusting the duo back into action.

Rocket man
New Premiers rise has been meteoric since he entered politics in 2009
By Owain Johnston-Barnes –and Jonathan Bell
From political outsider to Premier Craig Cannonier has risen to the top of Bermuda politics in three years.
The 49-year-old businessman was raised in St Davids.
Its hasnt quite sunk in yet — but it feels great, wife Antoinette told The Royal Gazette shortly after Mr Cannonier was sworn in at Government House yesterday.
She attributed her husbands drive to his love for people.
He is someone who wants to make a difference, she explained.
The couple are members of the Marsden First United Church. They have four children: Lakilah Spencer, Mikaela Ian Pearman, Samaela Cannonier and Trae Cannonier.
Mrs Cannonier said her own political interests leaned toward the plight of single women and their children, struggling to make ends meet.
Asked how she felt about the victory, Mrs Cannonier said: It did come as a surprise, but I know he worked very, very hard. I believe it was inevitable.
Bermudas new Premier studied at Towson State University in Baltimore, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial psychology in 1986.
After returning to Bermuda, he worked with the MarketPlace Group and later became the general manager of Peoples Pharmacy.
He now operates Esso City Tigermarket, Collectors Hill Esso and Warwick Esso.
Although related to political figures on both sides of the fence — the late Progressive Labour Party MP Larry Lowe and former United Bermuda Party Jim Woolridge — Mr Cannonier only entered politics in late 2009.
He ignored the Islands two main parties, and instead joined the fledging Bermuda Democratic Alliance
Months later Mr Cannonier defeated Myron Piper and was made leader of the BDA.
He held that position until the party merged with UBP members to form the One Bermuda Alliance.
Soon after the merger, Mr Cannonier defeated Bob Richards for the new partys leadership position.
He then defeated the PLPs Anthony Richardson in a by-election in Devonshire South Central to earn a seat as an MP.
Asked what lay ahead for the family now, Mrs Cannonier said they would all enjoy Christmas, and then straight back to work.
Daughter and journalist Mikaela Ian Pearman said: Its very surreal. Id never have thought in my life that I would hear the word Premier and my dads name attached.
Im very proud. Hopefully this is the change that Bermuda needs.

Friday - August 08, 2008
From: Holtwood, PA
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Propagation
Title: Trillium seed collection
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am interested in propagating trillium from seeds. When are the seeds ready to be harvested? I removed day lily pods prom the plants and then found out I had picked them too early
ANSWER:I am not sure which Trillium you are interested in growing. There are nine that are native to Pennsylvania:
Trillium cernuum (whip-poor-will flower)
Trillium cuneatum (little sweet Betsy)
Trillium erectum (red trillium)
Trillium flexipes (nodding wakerobin)
Trillium grandiflorum (white trillium)
Trillium nivale (snow trillium)
Trillium recurvatum (bloody butcher)
Trillium undulatum (painted trillium)
If you will read the information under "Propagation" for Trillium grandiflorum (white trillium), it says:
"Seeds mature within 5-6 weeks after the plant flowers. They are ready to collect when they are dark or beginning to darken. Store for short periods only by packing the whole berry in moist sphagnum sealed in a refrigerated container."
This advice should hold true for all Trillium spp. seeds. You want them to be mature before you remove them from the plant. Indeed, that is generally true for all seed collection. Watch the plants and when you see that the berries are beginning to split and release their seed, that is the time to collect.
Tom Clothier's Perennial Seed Germination Database says that Trillium seeds should be sown immediately outdoors since they have short viability.

What is a 'W-4 Form'
An employee completes an IRS W-4 form, or an Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, to indicate his tax situation to the employer. The W-4 form tells the employer the correct amount of tax to withhold from an employee's paycheck based on the employee's marital status, number of exemptions and dependents and other factors.
A taxpayer can file a new W-4 any time his situation changes, such as when he marries, divorces or has a child or a dependent dies. A change in status can result in the employer withholding more or less tax.
BREAKING DOWN 'W-4 Form'
The employee fills out seven lines of the W-4 form. The first few lines include the taxpayer's name, address and Social Security number. The worksheet above the form lets the taxpayer estimate the amount of allowances on his tax withholding. Increasing the amount of allowances reduces the amount of money withheld from the paycheck. A person can claim an exemption from withholding any money if he did not have a tax liability during the previous year and expects to have zero tax liability in the next year.
Calculating Allowances
The worksheet starts by letting the taxpayer add one allowance if he cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's income tax return. The employee can take another allowance if he's single and has just one job, is married with one job and the spouse doesn't work, or has wages from a second job within the family totaling less than $1,500. He can take another allowance if his spouse doesn't work.
Dependents and Child Care
The employee adds the number of dependents into the withholding amount. Dependents are children, adult relatives who don't work or elderly people living with the taxpayer. The worker can take an allowance for filing as head of household if he is unmarried and makes more than 50 percent of the household's income.
A worker can claim one extra allowance if child care expenses are higher than $2,000 per year. At that point, he can claim a tax credit. Another allowance comes into play if a worker plans to use any child tax credits on an income tax return.
The employee adds together all of the allowances listed on the worksheet to get a total. He fills in the number of allowances in Line 5, and then he can designate any additional amount of money he may wish the employer to withhold from each paycheck.
What the Employer Does
The employer then calculates how much to withhold from a paycheck based on the allowances calculated on Form W-4. The money withheld goes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after each paycheck.
When an employee files an income tax return each year, he may get back some of the money withheld in the form of a refund if the employer withheld too much money from his pay. If the employer withholds too little money , the taxpayer may owe the IRS additional money.

More than 48,000 people have signed a petition that they posted on the White House website demanding that British CNN talk show host Piers Morgan be deported over comments he made on air about gun control.
Morgan last week lambasted pro-gun guests on his show, after the December 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where a gunman shot dead 26 people, including 20 children.
"We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens," the petition said.
The petition, started on December 21 by a man identified as Kurt N. from Austin, Texas, accuses Morgan of subverting the second amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees the right to bear arms.
US citizens can file a petition on the White House website, whitehouse.gov, if they collect at least 25,000 signatures within 30 days. The White House is then obliged to issue a response.
Morgan, 47, a former newspaper editor in London, shot back at his critics on Twitter. He repeated his past calls for the United States to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and conduct background checks on all gun purchases.
Five days after the Connecticut massacre, Morgan called a guest, Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners for America, an "idiot," "dangerous" and an "unbelievably stupid man" when Pratt argued that more guns were needed to combat crime in the United States.
"I don't care about a petition to deport me. I do care about poor NY firefighters murdered/injured with an assault weapon today. #GunControlNow," Morgan tweeted on Monday, referring to a shooting in New York that killed three people, including the gunman.
Christa Robinson, a CNN spokeswoman, said the network had no immediate comment on the petition.
Publicist Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com, said the controversy will get Morgan attention that may translate into higher ratings and wouldn't harm his reputation.
"A lot of it comes from his being British, he's seen the differences between the US and UK, he's passionate and authentic in taking this issue on, and it's probably only going to help him attract more people to his show," Bragman, told Reuters.
