Independent Women's Forum
last updated: January 31, 2013
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
The Independent Women's Forum (IWF), originally an ad hoc organization called Women for Clarence Thomas, is an activist group founded in the early 1990s that has been closely tied to neoconservatism. Barbara Ledeen, spouse of the well-known neoconservative writer Michael Ledeen, was its first executive director.
The IWF operates as a rightwing counterweight to progressive feminist groups like the National Organization for Women (NOW). On its website, the IWF states that it "is on a mission to expand the conservative coalition, both by increasing the number of women who understand and value the benefits of limited government, personal liberty, and free markets, and by countering those who seek to ever-expand government in the name of protecting women."[1]
Over the years, the IWF has opposed such "expansions of government" as the Violence Against Women Act, measures to promote gender equity in collegiate sports, and efforts to allow women to serve combat roles in the U.S. military. The group has also opposed efforts to reform the U.S. health system,[2] fought against efforts to educate schoolchildren about climate change,[3] and spoken out against gun control.
The group attracted notice in early 2013 when IWF senior fellow Gayle Trotter testified before a Senate committee considering new gun regulations after a series of mass shootings. Trotter claimed that "guns make women safer" because they neutralize the physical advantages of potential male attackers. In particular, Trotter highlighted assault weapons like the AR-15—which she called women's "weapon of choice"—arguing that "using a firearm with a magazine holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition, a woman would have a fighting chance even against multiple attackers."[4]
This claim was strongly disputed by Slate's Amanda Marcotte, who quipped that Trotter "apparently seems to believe most violence against women resembles Buffy the Vampire Slayer facing down a gang of vampires." Marcotte pointed out that violence against women is seldom perpetrated by gangs of anonymous attackers, but rather by individual men who know their victims either socially or intimately. "If someone during a domestic violence incident scrambles for the gun, it's rarely going to be the person who doesn't want this situation to get more violent," Marcotte wrote, pointing to a Harvard study concluding that, in one year of study, 83 women were shot dead by intimate partners for every one who reported using a weapon in self defense. "If Trotter were truly concerned about preventing violence against women," Marcotte concluded, "she would be demanding an immediate closure of [the gun show] loophole that allows batterers to avoid background checks when trying to buy guns. But she's too busy imagining that women might have to fend off the zombie apocalypse to worry about the real dangers that ordinary women face in this country every day."[5]
Talking Points Memo reported that Trotter—like IWF—actively opposed the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a law designed to provide resources to women and children suffering from domestic abuse. "Trotter based her defense of gun rights on the need for women to defend themselves against those who would commit violent acts against them," wrote Evan McMorris-Santoro. But "[b]ack in 2012, she was not as supportive of the federal government's efforts to protect women with VAWA. The law, she wrote on the website of the Independent Women's Forum, could promote false accusations of domestic violence." Trotter claimed that "Needed resources like shelters and legal aid can be taken by false accusers, denying real victims of abuse access to these supports," but offered no evidence of fraudulent claimants consuming such resources at the expense of others.[6]
The group also weighs in on matters of foreign policy, often casting the conflict between "the West" and "radical Islam" as a struggle over gender. "I believe it's an under-reported story that one of the core disputes in the modern conflict between radical Islamists and the Western world is the rightful place of women in society," wrote Carrie Lukas in an October 2011 blog post. "Many in the United States, particularly those in academia and on the Left, seem reluctant to acknowledge that it is the Western world—yes, that patriarchal, capitalist mess that feminist[s] love to complain about—that best protects women's interests. We are imperfect to be sure, but rights we take for gran[ted]—to vote, own property, receive equal treatment under the law, decide who to marry and divorce—are absent in too many places where radical Islamists dominate."[7]
More recently, the group opposed a rule change by the Obama administration's Pentagon allowing women to serve in combat roles in the military. "The issue of women in combat is more important than gays in the military," read a post on IWF's website. "This is because women, not to put too fine a point on it, tend to be less strong than men. Those who would ordinarily oppose the dilution of military strength are being told that women will have to measure up to the same standards as men." The post approvingly quoted a scholar who claimed, "Uniformed women … are not pulling their weight. Whether this is because public opinion will not stand for large numbers of dead servicewomen or because the women themselves have found a thousand ways to avoid going where the bullets are is immaterial."[8]
The group has also staked out a hardline "pro-Israel" line. In September 2012, after a controversy at the Democratic National Convention over Israel-related language in the party's platform, IWF's Sabrina Schaeffer inveighed against "the anti-Israel sentiment that characterizes today's Democratic Party." And despite the Obama administration's record levels of U.S. military support for Israel and diplomatic backing even of Israeli actions that defy stated U.S. policies on West Bank settlements, Schaeffer claimed that "President Obama has consistently demonstrated that his 'support' for Israel is in name only."[9]
Charlotte Hays, another IWF contributor, has accused the Obama administration of naiveté when it comes to dealing with Iran and other foreign policy challenges. Echoing several rightwing tropes, Hays wrote in November 2011, "President Obama came into office believing that if the U.S., a country with much to apologize for (and, believe me, he's apologized for a lot), would just be nicer, despots would respond. Obama put considerable stock in his own charm, too. This hasn't worked out so well."[10]
Neoconservative Ties and Bush Administration Connections
The IWF was well connected to the George W. Bush administration through various public figures, such as Elaine Chao, the former labor secretary and Heritage Foundation fellow and wife of then-Rep. Mitch O'Connell (R-KY).[11] Former board members include Bush State Department hands like Lynne Cheney and Paula Dobrianksy, and IWF member Lynne Munson was deputy chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Bush administration appointed IWF president and CEO Nancy Mitchell Pfotenhauer to the National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women. Pfotenhauer opposed the Violence Against Women Act along with IWF's Margot Hill, who was also appointed to the committee. Pfotenhauer was also appointed delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, commissioner of the Secretary of Energy's Advisory Board, and Secretary of Labor's Committee on Workplace Issues.[12]
On the foreign policy front, IWF organized several programs during the Bush presidency that were ostensibly designed to promote the participation of women in Iraqi and Afghan politics, including securing a $10-million grant from the Bush State Department in 2004 to "train Iraqi women in the skills of democratic public life." The deal was lambasted by feminist organizations like the Feminist Majority Foundation, which described IWF as "anti-women's rights." "Talk about an inside deal," said Feminist Majority president Eleanor Smeal. "The IWF represents a small group of right-wing wheeler-dealers inside the Beltway."[13]
Other Bush administration-connected figures included Gayle Wilson, wife of former California governor and Defense Policy Board member Pete Wilson; Wade Horn, an IWF adviser who directed the National Fatherhood Initiative and joined the administration in the Department of Health and Human Services; and Michael Ledeen, husband of Barbara Ledeen, who was a close adviser to Karl Rove.[14] Danielle Crittenden, spouse of Bush speechwriter David Frum, is an anti-feminist writer.
Midge Decter, a longtime neoconservative writer and spouse of neoconservative trailblazer Norman Podhoretz, is one of several "director emeritae" of the group.
According to the Bridge Project, IWF receives most of its funding from conservative foundations.[15] The two major funders for IWF since 1998 have been The Randolph Foundation and DonorsTrust. Another multimillion-dollar contributor is the Sarah Scaife Foundation. Other large contributors include the Claude R. Lambe Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation, and The Lynde And Harry Bradley Foundation.[16]

A dream and a gala: Photo Nights Boston pushes for more public art
Four years ago, Katie Noble realized something was missing in Boston, a city in which she lives and works: widespread public art.
At the time, Noble, 34, was working as the photography editor of the Improper Bostonian. She was eager to see the work of photographers more widely displayed.
As she set about combining these two interests, bringing more public art to Boston and showing the work of local photographers, her organization, Photo Nights Boston, was born.
The organization was founded to contribute the idea of bringing more art to the community, says Noble, I thought it would be interesting to try to connect photographers with the community.
As an outgrowth of these efforts, last Thursday Photo Nights Boston hosted Photorama at the Cyclorama in Bostons South End, an event that drew about 600 people to see the work of local photographers. This time the work was projected on the venues walls. Some day, Photo Nights Boston hopes it will be projected outside, too.
By Boston standards, said Boston-area photographer Stephanie Goode, the event was unusual.
Theres not too many big photography events in Boston, she said. I dont see a couple hundred people at once.
Dave Bradley, one of the founding members of Photo Nights Boston, sat on the panel of judges for the Photorama photography contest, which was open to photographers of all levels.
I was really taken aback by how people see things, as still lifes or portraits, Bradley said, The thing is, everybody can do it. Its a very liberating thing. Its really eye-opening to see the visions that people have.
He said the organization hosts a variety of events and seminars, to promote public art growth.
I feel as though there is more momentum with public art then there has been in the past, Bradley said.
Currently, for example, Luke Jerrams Play Me, Im Yours project has scattered 75 pianos throughout Bostons neighborhoods. There also is Matthew Ritchies abstract mural in Dewey Square, and the Paintbox program, which brings art to the cities utility boxes.
I recently took a walk down the Greenway, Bradley said, I think the Greenway has done something to the city, and it definitely feels more open and alive.
In 2012, The Greenway Conservancy completed a five year public art strategy aimed at improving the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway.
Photo Nights Boston will continue to focus on photography in particular, a medium its members think can bring new life to Bostons growing art scene.
Bradley said he loves the variety it offers as a medium.
If you gave ten people ten cameras and said take a picture of this flower, youre going to get a picture of ten different flowers.
Flowers that could someday add to the landscape of Boston public art.
This article is being published under an arrangement between the Boston Globe and Emerson College.

Hello Martijn I'm not sure if this is an issue with your software (I doubt it) or just something I've ran across that is located somewhere else.
I'm using Latest Eden as well as Latest version of your addon. I'm using Xeebo as the Skin.
My question is that why when i choose to change the banner it won't update w/in xbmc. I can go to the individual folder and see that banner.jpg has changed from it's original to the new one I've selected. However XBMC doesn't reflect the changes.
The only way I've been able to force the changes is by totally rebuilding the database by rescanning all the information all over again. Now I'm not 100% sure if it's a xeebo issue or XBMC or your addon. Thoughts would be swell.. Thanks

I'm having a weird problem which seems to go beyond artwork downloader, but let me try to describe it anyways: For some reason, XBMC (dharma) has exported NFO files for TV shows with more than one show per NFO, when all of my TV shows are duly separated with the typical "[tv show name]/[season]/[episode]" format. At some point, this led Artwork Downloader (or it's predecesor) to download the wrong artwork on those folders.
Now, after upgrading to Eden I realized about this problem and I tried to fix it by manually modifying the NFO files and removing the incorrect artwork. The artwork on the folders is now correct, but for some reason my skin (Aeon Nox) continues to show the wrong artwork (e.g. clearart) for the show. Is there some cache mechanism going on that I need to clear? Has somebody experienced this issue or it's just me? |

Hmmm, does anyone know why I'm getting the same logo applied to multiple movies?
For example, I have a bunch of movies stored on Hard Drive 1 in the same folder. I downloaded the logo for Iron Man, and now every movie in that folder has the Iron Man logo. Same thing on Hard Drive 2. All the movies in there have the logo for The Losers. Do I have to put every one of my movies in its own folder for logos to work properly? Or is there a workaround in the config settings? I should note that I don't have this problem with TV shows, because all my TV shows are in their own folders. |

Martjin -
I have a question about the non-standard named TV season items, like TV Posters. It seems like skins are not supporting the new naming convention (perhaps there are some but I'm not using those skins so not sure). Is there any way to put on your request list AD download the items using the XBMC convention instead of the new convention you are using with AD? I'm aware of the potential issues (need to have a library scraped for AD to work), but there are ways to force a rescrape without losing watched status that has been posted by the XBMC dev team previously. This way, one could scrape, run AD, possibly altering some of the artwork, and then for a rescrape to pick up the newly-downloaded artwork. Love the addon, but season items is the one thing that's giving me some issues. |

Would it be possible to expand the centralize extrafanart folder option to separate folders based on source instead of just tv and movie? I have anime and regular television shows as separate sources and display them using a smart list as different categories. I would like to use the slideshow option but not have the two categories overlap.
Another idea is an option to append the series' title to the beginning of the centralized extrafanart so that it would be a bit easier to go in and manually move a series. If the option is enabled you'd end up with Its.Always.Sunny.in.Philadelphia.22212.jpg in the centralized folder instead of 22212.jpg. |

I've been spending the last 2 days MANUALLY defrag'n all my TV shows to one directory. (Only at the letter E so far... this is going to take a long time) HOWEVER now I have a problem. If I had Castle (2009) on F/G/I/J/L drives.. I copied all files onto a newer drive Q I deleted all artwork and files other then the .avi files. I deleted the tv show from the library, CLEANED LIBRARY and then scanned Q drive to bring the single directory Castle (2009) tv show back into XBMC library. When I run your artwork downloader from the castle tv show info screen it doesn't have any updates. My guess is that there is a flag or cache someone that you are keeping track of which is why it doesn't donwload the artwork again?? (I've even tried to set the flag copy over and it still didn't grab any new artwork) Also I've tried this with multiple tv shows that i've already copied over to a single directory. Basically after I delete the artwork and move the TV show to another directory, your plugin won't download it again. Is there not a way to clear "cache" and force a full download again. (Remember i did turn on over write flag in settings) Thx

It keeps the database data for one hour before it refreshes so that might be the case.

About 10 years ago, you could hold a TU season-ticket party in a phone booth. Now, it needs Xfinity Live. |
Recently, the subject of redemption and Temple football came up as part of a message board post on Owlscoop.com. A poster named MH55 noted the difference between Penn State and Temple football fans thusly:
"Frankly, I'll stand with the 5,000 who came every weekend through 15 years getting our asses kicked. The commentary on BWI (a Penn State equivalent to Owlscoop) has revealed the character of many and continues to shine light on the source..."
I will stand by those fans, too, as early as Wednesday night of this week when the season-ticket-holders like myself get together at Xfinity Live for a shindig party (6-7:30 p.m.). I've never been to Xfinity Live but I hear great things about the place and this is my opportunity to check it out.
Xfinity Live is right next to Temple tailgate Lot K. |
Redemption is a big word for Temple football fans.
Sometimes, I had the fleeting thought that "sadism" was an apt word, too, sitting through a 51-3 loss to Virginia in 2005. The score was 44-0 at halftime and it might have been the only time I left the stadium that early.
A year later, the defensive coordinator of that Virginia team, Al Golden, took over at Temple and the curve started to slowly shoot up but not before a pair of 62-0 losses, one to Louisville and one to Minnesota.
We do.

Leaders & Enders Done!
I finished putting together the most recent leader/ender project....People say I am fast, but it took about a year for me to make all the panels for this quilt from leader/ender squares. Probably MORE than a year! Still, I like how it turned out and it is fun making something on the side while working on other projects.
There are 7 pieced strippy panels and the quilt came out something like 90X93! Almost square but not quite.I still have the binding/sleeve to hand stitch down, so that will be an evening project for a little while.
It's been beautiful here in South Carolina the past couple of days..yesterday was nearly 80f out! Slept with the windows open last night, and that was sure nice....I always sleep better when I can do that. In the summer here it is too humid and hot so the windows stay shut until autumn. I'm enjoying the fresh air through open windows this morning too.
I'm a bit miffed at my son Jeff.....he got suspended from school again yesterday. Just when we have a couple weeks where things seem to be going along swimmingly, something happens. It never fails! So his butt is grounded, his cell phone is turned off, and if I have to go into the clinic for a massage, he has to come along with me. I told him this is NOT a vacation! And it is making my life quite stressful right now. I had planned on making more basket blocks for Elizabeth's teacup quilt yesterday, but I had to deal with conferences at the school, etc....sometimes life just gets in the way, you know?

Lovely quilt! The rate that you finish things is truly inspiring and I love to stop by to see your latest project.
My son (16) has been on the 2-weeks fine/one big f*** up cycle for about 3 years now. I'm happy to report that the cycle seems to be broken! ;-) He has turned back into a real human being and is a pleasure to be around. Most of the time ;-) It must be a hormonal thing for boys...I wish you luck and patience.Your quilt is a real looker. It reminds me of candy. I don't know why.
Bonnie, don't all of your cupboards need to be emptied, then thoroughly cleaned. Each dish likely needs a good scrubbing too before it is returned to the cupboard....that ought to keep sonny busy for a few minutes. Just a thought.This looks great Bonnnie, but so different from how I imagined it would look. The pink strips give an entirely different look to the pieced strips. I'm always fastinated how colors can seem to change so much by putting different colors around them. The pink sashing is stunning, and I love the heart string you quilted down it.
Keep repeating to yourself "this too shall pass". I know it often seems like that just isn't going to be true, but somehow they all eventually grow up. Hang in there - you can all get through this.Maybe Jeff could cut some strips off all your yardage - that'll keep him busy, and you could even make a quilt for him out of them if he's good :-)
The Strippy is stunning! It's gorgeous and the quilting is wonderful. I too love the hearts down the pink strips and the whole thing will look truly magnificent on a bed! Another outstanding quilt. Have I used enough expressive words LOL?Another beautiful quilt nearly finished...WOW! The piecing of the strips might have taken the year, but boy,oh,boy do you cruise once that's done!!
Love the look of it, and what neat quilting in the plain strips. Very antique looking...*VBS*
With Jeff, yup, hang in there...everything has a place where it ends..but it's no fun in the middle. One of those "isn't motherhood great?" moments..Hugs for all of it, FinnI really love the quilting you put into this strippy quilt-another gorgeous scrappy special Bonnie quilt.
Raising boys...I suppose it could apply to girls as well, but since I only had boys-all I can say is much of what others have already said-eventually they grow up and shape up...it sure takes a lot of patience and endurance on the parents part. Sorry you are having to go through this less than fun part of parenting!

Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) is an ornamental plant that also has a long history of traditional use in Chinese herbalism. It was viewed as a kidney/adrenal tonic that was used for male sexual health and hormonal balance in both men and women. Epimedium was thought to "tonify life's gate" - a term used to refer to the "vital energy" in men. NOW Horny Goat Weed Extract is standardized to Icariins and is combined with Maca, another vitality herb.

Why You Should Buy Internet Security and a Winter Coat
'You've got a virus,' my little sister said finally, sneering at me in a way that made it perfectly clear that she considered the whole matter beneath her. 'What internet security provider are you using?' I laughed, because internet security software is like ironing, or packing the night before a flight- done only by the neurotic or the elderly.

Thank you, Ann Coulter!
Posted by: penina
Help me out here, I'm a little confused. The entire Jewish world is up in arms about what Ann Coulter said during an interview with CNBC host Donny Deutsch. But why? Ann was caught saying out loud what every Evangelical Christian has been saying behind our back (and not behind our back) for two thousand years.
What gets me isn't that Ms. Coulter thinks that all Jews need to be Christians, I could have told you that. What gets me is that the Jewish world has convinced itself that the Evangelical Christian Right doesn't really want us all to convert to Christianity. Hello? Is any one home out there? Evangelical means missionary, that's what it means, and the Jewish world, Israel in particular, so much wants the friendship and financial support of the Christian world that they've convinced themselves that Evangelicals are not missionaries, that they don't want to convert us.
Let me give you a little bible lesson here. Evangelical Christians, the ones who are calling themselves Zionist and give moral support and financial support to Israel do so because they believe with every fiber of their beings that the Christian Bible – Old Testament and New Testament are the Word of God. They believe every word of it, literally. That's why they are generally very good, moral people and that is also why they believe in no uncertain terms that anyone who does not believe in Jesus will go to hell. That includes the Jews. I have had people argue this point with me up down and sideways, but you can't get away from the fact that if a Christian believes his/her own bible, they must also believe that those who don't believe in Jesus are going to hell, because its in there. Don't believe me? How about these verses, for a start:
John 3:17-18 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 6:54-56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
John 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
Act 13:46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first; since you repudiate it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Act 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Thess 1:8-10 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.
1John 5:11-12 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
And regarding the Christian understanding that they are considered Jews by God, we have the following verses:
Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
So I would like to say one thing to Ann Coulter – thank you! Thank you for saying out loud what some of us have known all along but many of us were afraid to accept. Thank you for getting the Jewish community upset about something that it should be upset about and for speaking the truth, even if it came out by accident.

Chateau Oak is a high quality range of solid oak furniture influenced by 18th Century French designs. Chateau Oak is of impressive proportions and has a rich patina which gives these items a warm, honey coloured tone. Items are individually handcrafted by highly skilled cabinet makers and it is not a mass produced range. The exterior of the items is made from seasoned European oak with oak veneer used internally for back panels and drawer bases. In addition each of the chest of drawers has a concealed top drawer and the drawers are on wooden runners with stoppers. Beds in this range are chunky and large, and would make a statement in a room whilst being durable and long-lasting. Within the range there is a selection of wardrobes suitable for many room sizes which dismantle for ease of delivery and practicality.
Please note that Chateau Oak furniture has recently been enhanced and badged by Waring & Gillow, highlighting the superb quality of this oak bedroom collection.

The 24hr EEG performed showed some abnormalities but not the abnormalities that Carbatrol would address. So now his new neurologist has prescribed Lamictal which she

(…2 addtl chai recipes)
The Zawadi Gift
Zawadi, meaning "gift" in Swahili, is the name we have given our delicious tea.
We chose this name because a portion of the profits we receive from Zawadi African Tea is donated to help the over one million children in Kenya who have been made orphans by the AIDS virus.
Donations reach Kenyan children through a non-profit organization called the Kenya Intervention/Prevention Project Group, International (www.kaippg.org).
It also represents a gift of economic independence to Kenyan tea farmers who for many years have barely earned enough to survive.
Zawadi African Tea is chemically free grown and harvested by Kenyan family farmers, made from the best part of the Kenyan tea plant—the buds or tippy—making it Grade #1 tea.
Full of antioxidants that may help prevent cancer, heart disease and stroke, help people lose weight, as well as other health benefits.

29 CFR 1607.10 - Employment agencies and employment services.
§ 1607.10
Employment agencies and employment services.
A. Where selection procedures are devised by agency. An employment agency, including private employment agencies and State employment agencies, which agrees to a request by an employer or labor organization to device and utilize a selection procedure should follow the standards in these guidelines for determining adverse impact. If adverse impact exists the agency should comply with these guidelines. An employment agency is not relieved of its obligation herein because the user did not request such validation or has requested the use of some lesser standard of validation than is provided in these guidelines. The use of an employment agency does not relieve an employer or labor organization or other user of its responsibilities under Federal law to provide equal employment opportunity or its obligations as a user under these guidelines.
B. Where selection procedures are devised elsewhere. Where an employment agency or service is requested to administer a selection procedure which has been devised elsewhere and to make referrals pursuant to the results, the employment agency or service should maintain and have available evidence of the impact of the selection and referral procedures which it administers. If adverse impact results the agency or service should comply with these guidelines. If the agency or service seeks to comply with these guidelines by reliance upon validity studies or other data in the possession of the employer, it should obtain and have available such information.
Title 29 published on 2012-07-01
