Surveys showed that Americans sided with President Obama and Democrats in last month's debate over extending the Bush tax cuts for most taxpayers, but according to a new United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, the country is more divided over how to reduce the deficit as the White House and Congress fight over the debt ceiling and sequestration.
Respondents to the new poll were split over whether further efforts to reduce the deficit should include a mixture of tax increases and spending cuts, as Democrats favor, or, as Republicans insist, spending cuts alone. Forty-nine percent favor reducing the deficit through spending cuts alone, while 48 percent prefer both tax increases and spending cuts.
The Congressional Connection Poll was conducted Jan. 10-13 by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, which surveyed 1,001 adults. This is the latest in a series of national polls tracking the public's priorities for Congress -- and its assessment of Washington's performance -- during most weeks that Congress is in session this year. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
The question of how to cut the federal deficit looms large over Congress this year. The poll informed respondents that the agreement to raise taxes on wealthy Americans "only covered a small portion of the projected deficit over the next 10 years."
Democrats are more likely to favor tax increases along with spending cuts, preferring the mixture by a 21-point margin, 59 percent to 38 percent. Sixty-five percent of Republicans think the debt should be slashed by spending cuts alone, compared with only 31 percent who favor a mixed approach. Independents are more closely divided: 50 percent favor a mixture of tax increases and spending cuts, and 46 percent want only spending cuts.
The poll shows a slight gender gap, with men preferring only spending cuts, 52 percent to 45 percent, while women prefer the mixture of tax increases and spending cuts, 50 percent to 45 percent.
Respondents also diverged along income levels on this question. Half of those making less than $50,000 a year preferred only spending cuts, compared with 46 percent who preferred the mixture of spending cuts and tax increases. But that mixture was favored by 53 percent of those making $50,000 or more.
The lack of consensus among poll respondents, combined with the polarization driving the results, portends more partisan wrangling over the next few months on Capitol Hill over efforts to raise the federal debt ceiling, avoid drastic spending cuts in domestic and defense programs, and fund the federal government.
In the most recent fight, Congress agreed to raise tax rates -- to 39.5 percent from 35 percent -- for families making more than $450,000 a year. Asked about these new rates, 29 percent of poll respondents said that Congress should have set the threshold for tax increases at $250,000 a year, which was the amount originally preferred by President Obama. Thirty percent thought Congress was correct in raising taxes for income over $450,000. These results are consistent with polls taken before the fiscal-cliff agreement, which indicated strong support for hiking taxes on the wealthy. The actual agreement has been less popular, with most polls taken after Obama signed the bill into law showing Americans divided on the compromise.
The Republican-backed tax proposals are still less popular, the new poll shows. Just 12 percent think Congress should have raised taxes only for income over $1 million, the "Plan B" favored by House Speaker John Boehner. Twenty-three percent think Congress should not have raised taxes at all.
The poll also queried respondents about climate change. According to the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., 2012 was the warmest year on record in the lower 48 states by a wide margin. The poll asked respondents if these records are more likely "the result in changes in the climate related to the burning of fossil fuels," or if it is more likely "the result of factors like random weather variation."
Half said that the extreme warmth was more likely random weather variation, compared with only 39 percent who thought it was a result of the burning of fossil fuels. Political partisanship was a fairly accurate predictor of how respondents answered this question: Republicans overwhelmingly say it was random variation, 63 percent to 26 percent. Democrats, on the other hand, lean toward fossil fuels, 50 percent to 41 percent.
Younger Americans were more likely to say that the record temperatures were the result of fossil-fuel consumption, with 54 percent of respondents ages 18-29 saying it was driven by those changes in the climate. Only 32 percent of those 65 and older agreed, however.

How To Upgrade Your iPhone From iOS 4 To iOS 5
by David Kanter
July 2, 2011
This article will cover how to upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 5 using an iPhone or an iPod touch on your Mac. At the time of this publication the latest version of iOS is 5 beta 2. It is recommend that you do not use your primary iPhone for this procedure, as it is a beta and meant for developers to test. That being said, I did this on my primary phone, and played with the beta for a few weeks, but there were too many critical apps for my workflow such as Evernote, Dropbox, and, well, the Phone app that didn't work for me. I went back to iOS 4 after two weeks. I will outline the steps needed to upgrade to iOS 5 as a registered Apple developer, although Bryan M. Wolfe covered a voiceover activation hack from Gizmodo that apparently lets you get past the activation screen without registering as a developer on the first iOS 5 beta (I haven't tried this). My follow up article will cover how to downgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 4 despite warnings from Apple that it isn't possible. Bryan also covers an interesting story on that topic in Apple To Take New Measures Against Firmware Downgraders. Okay, enough of the warnings, if you want to live on the wild side, here are the steps for upgrading from iOS 4 to iOS 5:
1. Backup your existing iPhone by plugging it into iTunes via the USB cable and control-click your iDevice, then choose "Back Up" from the menu that pops out.Apple Developer Portal, go to the iOS Dev Center and click the iOS SDK beta filter. Go to Downloads, download iTunes 10.5 beta 2 as well as the correct iOS 5 beta for your iPhone. There are several depending on your model iPhone/iPod touch, see screenshot below for the right one.
Provisioning Portal. 4. Install iTunes 10.5 beta 2 on your Mac. 5. Open the image of the iPhone 5 .ipsw file and drag it to your desktop. With your USB cable plugged in, highlight your iDevice in iTunes, and option-click the Restore button. When the dialog box pops up, choose the .ipsw file you put on your desktop and select it from the File dialog box.

ITHACA, NY — Television and film actor David Boreanaz will
return to his alma mater to deliver the main address at Ithaca
College's 118th
Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 19. He is best known for
his starring roles on the television series "Bones,"
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
Boreanaz will speak to some 1,610 graduates and their guests at the 10:00 a.m. ceremony at Butterfield Stadium. He earned his degree in cinema and photography in 1991 from the Roy H. Park School of Communications.
Also making remarks at Commencement will be Ithaca College president Tom Rochon, senior class president Rachel Heiss and board of trustees chairman Tom Grape '80.
For more information on the ceremony, which will be webcast live on the Internet and televised on Time Warner Cable channel 16 in the Ithaca area, visit www.ithaca.edu/commencement.
For the past eight years, Boreanaz has earned rave reviews as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth on the Fox crime drama "Bones," where he helps bring justice for murder victims. He also serves as one of the show's producers and has directed a number of episodes, including the season-ender which aired on April 29.
Boreanaz had gone to Hollywood shortly after graduating from Ithaca College, working a series of odd jobs before breaking into show business as an uncredited extra in such films as "Aspen Extreme" and then earning a guest-starring role as Kelly Bundy's biker boyfriend on the television series "Married… with Children."
But it wasn't until 1997 that Boreanaz was thrust into the limelight — if not the daylight — when he was cast as the vampire-with-a-soul Angel on the WB network's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." For three seasons he played Buffy's on-again/off-again 242-year-old love interest as the series gained a cult following. His character became so popular that a spin-off was created, giving him the opportunity to headline his own series for another five seasons.
Boreanaz has his share of big-screen acting credits as well, including the thriller "Valentine," sports drama "The Mighty Macs," black comedy "Suffering Man's Charity" and crime drama "Officer Down." He can be heard as the voice of the superhero Green Lantern in the animated feature "Justice League: The New Frontier." On the stage, he has starred in off-Broadway's "Spalding Gray: Stories Left to Tell" as well as in productions of "Hat Full of Rain," "Fool for Love" and "Italian-American Reconciliation."
In 2001, the Ithaca College Alumni Association recognized him with the Outstanding Young Alumni Award. In 2011, the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters jointly honored Boreanaz and his father — former longtime Philadelphia TV weatherman Dave Roberts — with its gold medal.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A television series about imperial palace drama in the 17th century has captivated viewers in Taiwan, but its emphasis on the dark side of human nature has made it less popular with cultural authorities in China.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has a Qing dynasty setting and its main characters are fictional concubines vying for the emperor's affection. The lead role is witty Zhen Huan, who transforms from an innocent 17-year-old into a scheming dowager empress over decades in court. Initially victimized after rivals abort her baby by using poison, Zhen Huan learns to fight back and avenge the wrong she has suffered.
In Taiwan and on the mainland, fans of "Zhen Huan" see the dialogue as insightful on how to advance in the modern workplace. "If you want to live in this court, you must know the emperor's likes and dislikes, and if you want to survive, you must know those of other women" is one frequently quoted line.
Liu Lianzi, 28, wrote the 76-episode drama series based on her 2007 novel. "Zhen Huan" could easily be a metaphor for her experiences striving for success among thousands of young Chinese writers on the Internet. In the cauldron of China's voluminous online literature market, the mostly female devotees are ruthless in determining whether aspiring authors succeed or fail.
"The Internet has liberated all the external factors that have for long restrained women at work ... and no one had anticipated that a woman, when breaking the silence, would have told a story that should totally distort our look at history," Chinese writer Tzeng Yuan wrote recently in Taiwan's China Times daily.
Taipei office worker Chiu Ying said she was enthralled by the court struggles depicted in the drama series "that are not unlike nasty office politics anywhere."
"Zhen Huan has learned to rise up to the top the hard way, having to first deal with a jealous and wicked empress and then serving a suspicious and cruel emperor," Chiu said.
The drama has also impressed fans with its luxurious costumes and court scenery, while imparting lessons on Chinese classical poetry, court etiquette and herbal medicine preparation. Perfume sales in Chinese stores are said to have plummeted at one point because characters in "Zhen Huan" used perfume-enhanced herbs to cause abortions.
The success of the series has spawned a number of Chinese copycats, which may have dismayed Chinese authorities.
Lin Hsi-hui, head of Taiwan's Multimedia Production Association, said mainland associates told him the authorities there fear young viewers would get distorted work ethics from the series.
Authorities also feared the struggles might be seen as hitting too close to home in the midst of China's just-completed once-in-a- decade power transition, Lin said.
Partly because of "Zhen Huan," Lin said Chinese authorities had decided to limit historical dramas to just 10 percent of the total of next year's complement of TV series.
China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television did not immediately reply to a request for comment about the existence of the new restrictions.
But administration official, Wang Weiping, was quoted by the People's Daily website as characterizing discussion of them as "speculation."

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The Caterpillar Tractor Company, forerunner of today's Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT - Free Caterpillar Stock Report), was formed in May 1925 from the merger of competitors C. L. Best Gas Tractor Company and Holt Caterpillar Company. Both of those concerns, meanwhile, had been involved in producing farm equipment, especially in the central valley of California, and later in the Midwest, since the latter half of the 19th Century.
Two Companies Strive to Build a Better Tractor
Steam tractors in the 1880s and 1890s were very heavy and often became stuck in the soft, muddy farmland of the San Joaquin Delta near Stockton, California. Benjamin Holt, of the Stockton-based Holt Manufacturing Company, hit upon attaching wide wooden planks, chained together, around (and later, instead of) the wheels of a tractor to form a continuous track that would prevent the vehicle from sinking in the earth. Holt acquired a patent for his vehicle in 1907, though he never successfully established his ownership of the "Caterpillar" name. In 1910, Holt opened a subsidiary in East Peoria, Illinois, called the Holt Caterpillar Company, to produce the new machines. In two years, the plant grew from 12 to 625 employees, and was exporting tractors to Canada, Mexico, and Argentina.
Clarence Leo Best, meanwhile, was Holt's major competitor, and his C. L. Best Gas Tractor Company had a similar track-laying tractor, called the Best Model 60 "Tracklayer". Best and Holt fought each other over patent and trademark infringement, and over contractual disputes, for years.
War Transforms the Competitive Landscape
During World War I, the Holt Caterpillar Company supplied Britain with heavy, tracked artillery vehicles, precursors of the modern tank. At the same time, the C.L. Best Gas Tractor Co., heavily subsidized by the U.S. government, gained major market share in the farming sector with its Model 60 Tracklayer. Both companies thus grew rapidly in the period from 1910 to 1918.
After The Great War, however, both companies ran into trouble. Holt Caterpillar struggled in its transition from a military supplier to a commercial supplier, especially because it had reoriented production to military uses, but its military tractors were unsuitable for the farming market. It was saddled with a large inventory of undesirable equipment. Struggling, the company took on large debts. C. L. Best, meanwhile, had financed its wartime expansion with debt, and the postwar depression of 1920-1921 put a severe strain on the company. Finally, Harry Fair, of the San Francisco bond brokerage company Pierce, Fair & Company, recommended the two companies merge, which they did in 1925, to form the Caterpillar Tractor Company. Benjamin Holt had died in 1920, but Clarence Best served as Chairman of Caterpillar's Board until he died in 1951.
Rapid Growth at the Combined Company
Caterpillar now offered five tracklaying tractors. In the new company's first year, sales were $13 million; by 1929, they had grown to almost $53 million. During the Great Depression, government infrastructure spending rose, and the company embarked on a notable expansion. Its equipment helped build the Hoover Dam, the Grand Coulee Dam, the Bonneville Dam, the Mississippi River levee system, the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and the Golden Gate Bridge, among many other projects.
World War II brought more opportunity, as Caterpillar products were used by the U.S. Navy's Seabees to build airfields and other military infrastructure for the war effort in the Pacific. Between 1942 and 1945, the company, operating seven days a week, doubled its workforce and produced some 51,000 tracklayer tractors for the military.
Postwar Boom Makes Caterpillar a Multi-National Powerhouse
The postwar boom was also a boon for the company, as its equipment was used to rebuild Europe, construct some 70,000 miles of highway throughout the United States as a part of the federal highway system, and build the St. Lawrence Seaway in a joint U.S.-Canadian effort, among many other projects, domestic and international.
In 1950, the company established its first significant overseas operation, Caterpillar Tractor Co. Ltd, in the United Kingdom. The company expanded to Brazil in 1960, among other locations. Its products have been involved in numerous, major international construction projects.
Near-Bankruptcy in the 1980s and Labor Unrest in the 1990s
As a large manufacturing company, Caterpillar has had to carefully manage operations in anticipation of upturns and downturns. The 1981-1982 recession was particularly challenging and severely strained corporate finances. The downturn led to a dramatic decline in equipment demand, which, combined with competition from Japan's Komatsu, resulted in Caterpillar losing $1 million a day at one point.
The difficulties forced the company to slash production and begin laying off workers, which hurt relations with influential labor unions. The United Auto Workers (UAW) and Caterpillar engaged in a series of disputes, including a then-record long 17-month UAW strike in 1994-1995. In response to the labor disputes, Caterpillar began outsourcing parts production and warehousing operations. It also began moving some manufacturing facilities to southern states with laws less favorable to organized labor.
The company was restructured as Caterpillar, Inc. in Delaware in 1986.
Efficient Operations a Pathway to Future Profits
In recent years, the machinery giant has sought to maximize its operating performance utilizing various efficiency and cost-control methods. One recent, significant example of this effort is the Caterpillar Production System (CPS) with Six Sigma. CPS, similar to the Toyota Production System, organizes manufacturing and logistics with the aim of optimizing the order-to-delivery process. The system is largely based on just-in-time inventory management and lean manufacturing principles.
Today, Caterpillar sells equipment in 200 countries and territories, and has 94 plants in the U.S. and another 84 facilities overseas. The company has a global network of some 188 dealers, about 50 of which are domestic. Employment is around 104,500 (45%, U.S.; 12%, unionized). Sales and revenues in 2010 were about $42.6 billion (68% outside the U.S.); order backlog was $18.7 billion. Business lines are divided into three general categories, Machinery, Engines and Financial Products.
The Machinery division (65% of 2010 revenues) designs, produces, and sells products, such as track and wheel loaders and tractors, excavators, backhoes, skid-steer loaders, off-highway trucks and underground mining equipment, to the global construction, road building, mining and forestry markets. This division also has a logistics service business and a railroad equipment remanufacturing & service operation, both of which help to reduce overall sales and earnings volatility.
The Engine division (29%) manufactures diesel-powered engines for use in Caterpillar machinery, as well as in power generation, railroad, marine, construction, industrial and, among others, agricultural applications. Additionally, the division offers engine-remanufacturing services. Reciprocating engines and turbines are key products.
Financial Products (6%) provides financing and insurance services to customers and dealers. Importantly, when global credit markets are tight, the finance arm facilitates machinery and engine sales to financially sound customers.
The company has a number of important competitors, including Komatsu, Volvo, CNH Global (CNH), Deere (DE), Hitachi (HIT), Terex (TEX), and Doosan Infracore, in the machinery market; and Cummins (CMI), Tognum, General Electric (GE), Siemens (SI), Wartsila, MAN SE, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Rolls Royce Group, Generac (GNRC) and Kohler, in the engine segment.
With construction spending declining in the developed world, Caterpillar has prioritized moving into developing markets for some years. The company built a facility in Russia in 1999 and in the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 2009. Management reports a number of expansion plans in the PRC especially, as it expects that much of the construction demand over the coming 10 to 20 years to come from the Asia-Pacific region. In the United States, Caterpillar continues to work to reduce costs, moving production to lower cost facilities in North Carolina and Texas.
The company typically spends 4%-5% of revenues on research and development (R&D); in recent years, much of this expenditure has been dedicated to research on reduced emissions engines. R&D likely increased about 12% in 2011, to $2.5 billion.
Most dramatically, Caterpillar plans to expand its markets. In late 2010, it moved into the booming mining and metals area with its splashy $8.6 billion announced buyout of Bucyrus International. The acquisition should go a long way toward increasing Caterpillar's exposure to the commodities market.
From 1992 to 2010, Caterpillar outperformed most of its peers, producing a 15.5% average annual total return for shareholders. The company intends to maintain industry leading total stockholder returns by achieving a 15%-20% compound annual growth rate in share earnings. We expect sales and revenue to power that growth, rising from some $42.6 billion in 2010 to $65 billion-$70 billion by 2012. Emerging markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China) will play a key role in this growth. The acquisition of Bucyrus, and the company's rapid expansion in China augur well for its ability to meet its ambitious goals.
All told, CAT shares are stable, but cyclical. Investors wishing to gain exposure to the next infrastructure spending cycle would do well to consider this Dow-30 blue chip.

Breast Cancer
Persistent itchy nipple
I have a persistent itchiness on my left nipple and I am 33 years old and I don`t have a child yet.3 years ago,I was diagnosed with Fibroadenoma-on my right breast and all three lumps were removed. And my gynecologist said that my left breast is starting to have mini lumps too.Lately(for about 3 weeks), I felt some sort of lump(s); that is of rubber-like sensation whenever I examine my breasts before and after my period.Please give me some advice or infos regarding my condition.Thank you for spending your time in readind and in answering my queries!
Persistent itchiness of the nipple is not a common sign of cancer. You may have just dry skin or some allergic dermatitis. You should apply moisturizing lotions on the nipple, you can also use the creams that nursing mothers use for the nipple soreness. If you see any skin/nipple redness or peeling, you must see your doctor.
Lumpy breasts are very common around the time of menses. If you had fibroadenomas in the right breast, it is very likely that you may have similar problems in the left breast. If these lumpy areas do not disappear after the menses, you must seek the attention of a doctor so that he or she may examine the breast and make sure that these are benign lesions and do not need any further testing.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Meeting of April 22, 2009 - on Best Practices To Avoid Discrimination Against Caregivers
I. Introduction
Good morning, Mister Chairman, Madam Vice Chair, Commissioners. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the document that we are issuing today on employer best practices for workers with caregiving responsibilities.
In 2007, EEOC issued guidance explaining the circumstances under which discrimination against workers with caregiving responsibilities might constitute discrimination based on sex, disability or other characteristics protected by federal employment discrimination laws. The document that we are issuing today supplements the 2007 guidance by providing suggestions for best practices. Best practices are proactive measures that go beyond federal non-discrimination requirements.
The document reiterates a point made in the 2007 caregiver document. Federal law does not prohibit employment discrimination based on caregiver status itself. However, federal law is implicated when workers with caregiving responsibilities are treated differently based on a characteristic that is protected by law ? such as gender, race, or association with an individual with a disability.
The document explains that flexible workplace policies not only benefit workers and reduce the likelihood of complaints of unlawful discrimination, but appear also to benefit employers' customer base and bottom line. Such practices aid recruitment and retention efforts, thereby allowing employers to retain a talented, knowledgeable workforce and save the money and time that would otherwise have been spent recruiting, interviewing, selecting and training new employees. The document cites studies that have found that flexible workplace policies enhance employee productivity, reduce absenteeism, reduce costs, and appear to increase profitability.
Importantly, the document explains that the benefits of these programs remain constant regardless of the economic climate. In fact, as some of today's panelists will attest, some employers have implemented family-friendly workplace programs such as part-time work, free or subsidized child care, flexible schedules and telecommuting as alternatives to workforce reductions. Such programs can position organizations to rebound quickly as soon as business improves.
II. General Best Practices
The first section addresses general best practices. For example, it advises employers to familiarize themselves and their employees with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Equal Pay Act (EPA), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which includes the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. It also reminds employers that other laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and some state or local laws that are not enforced by EEOC are relevant to employer practices regarding caregivers.
Next, the section suggests that employers' EEO policies include: (1) descriptions of common stereotypes about caregivers that might result in unlawful conduct; (2) examples of conduct related to caregivers that the employer prohibits; (3) anti-retaliation provisions; and (4) names of offices or individuals that staff may contact if they have questions or need to file a complaint.
There is evidence that top executives tend to support work-life balance policies but that middle managers are more likely to be resistant to such policies. Therefore, the document recommends that employers ensure that all managers, especially front-line supervisors, are familiar with the organization's work-life policies and supportive of employees who choose to take advantage of available programs.
Finally, recognizing that policies are simply words on a page if they are not adequately enforced, the document reminds employers to promptly and thoroughly investigate complaints of discrimination based on caregiving responsibilities, and to implement corrective and preventative measures as necessary. It also emphasizes the need to ensure that employees who make complaints or who provide information related to complaints about potential discrimination are protected from retaliation.
III. Recruitment, Hiring, and Promotion Best Practices
The next section of the document focuses on best practices related to recruitment, hiring and promotion. It advises employers to review employment policies and practices—especially those related to hiring, promotion, pay, benefits, attendance, and leave—to ensure that they do not disadvantage workers with caregiving responsibilities.
To ensure a level playing field for all applicants, employers are advised to develop and apply specific, job-related qualification standards for available positions and to focus on applicants' qualifications for the position in question, rather than on stereotypes about caregivers' work ethic or lack of commitment to their careers.
When looking to fill open positions, the document recommends that employers consider recruiting former employees who have taken leaves of absence to handle caregiving responsibilities. Such individuals have a demonstrated familiarity with and commitment to the organization's mission, goals and strategies and, as a result, are likely to have an immediate and positive impact on the organization. The document explains that, to ensure a smooth transition for former employees, employers can develop strategies that identify and eliminate barriers to re-entry for caregivers. It also explains the utility of permitting employees who are on personal leaves of absence to attend training and networking events to ensure they remain up to date on the latest developments.
IV. Terms, Conditions and Privileges of Employment Best Practices
The final section of the document addresses best practices that relate to terms, conditions and privileges of employment.
The document recommends that employers review policies related to performance evaluations and compensation to ensure that they are based on job performance and not on stereotypes about caregivers.
Recognizing that employers need to assess whether and how their organizations can accommodate flexible work schedules, the document outlines a variety of flexible work options. It also notes that caregivers might need workplace adjustments other than flexible schedules. For example, pregnant employees might need to be temporarily relieved from heavy lifting or other strenuous manual tasks.
Similarly, employees might need to take reasonable personal or sick leave to engage in caregiving. Of course, when determining what constitutes "reasonable" amounts of leave, employers can take into account factors such as employees' workload, upcoming deadlines, and personal circumstances. The document notes that employers should ensure that leave is available to male and female employees on an equal basis and that employees are not discouraged, because of protected characteristics such as gender, from requesting leave. Finally, the document explains that employers should ensure that professional development opportunities such as training, high-profile assignments, and access to workplace networks are available to all employees, regardless of caregiving responsibilities.
V. Conclusion
It has been observed that the two most important sources of support in people's lives are 1) their families and 2) their employment. Employment provides not only economic self-sufficiency but also intangible benefits including intellectual stimulation, social relations, and a sense of self-worth. In short, people want both to be successful at work and at home. The best practices described in this document will help employers develop and maintain an environment in which all workers enjoy equal opportunity to compete, advance and succeed and in which both employees and businesses flourish.
That concludes my remarks. Thank you.

If, despite your businesslike written repair requests, the landlord hasn't fixed or addressed a serious problem that truly makes your rental unit uninhabitable—rats in the kitchen or broken locks on the apartment door, for example—you will want to take stronger measures. Your options include one or more of what we call the "big sticks" in a tenant's arsenal. Big stick remedies include:
It's important to understand that you shouldn't use a big stick remedy rashly. Before you withhold rent, move out, or adopt another extreme remedy, make sure every one of these conditions is met:It's a major repair or habitability problem. It's not your fault. You followed state rules regarding notifying the landlord. You're paid up in rent. You are willing to risk termination of your tenancy by an annoyed landlord. You are willing to risk eviction if a judge decides that you shouldn't have used the big stick, and your credit report can bear this negative mark. You can find a comparable or better unit if you move out, either voluntarily or because the building is closed due to code violations you have reported.
If the problem you're facing is a violation of a state or local housing law, you may contact the agency in charge of enforcing the law. This may be a housing or building agency or a health or fire department. The inspector will investigate and give the landlord a notice of violation and a deadline, typically 30 to 60 days, to correct the problem. The deadline may be shortened for extremely serious violations--and in some cases, health fire, or building inspectors may actually close your building on very short notice. A landlord's failure to abide by the correction order may result in fines and even imprisonment. Keep in mind that there is wild variation in the actual effectiveness of inspectors, depending on their workloads and budgets.

VITTORIA, Sicily — The red wines made in the vicinity of this midsize town in southeastern Sicily can be elegant and beautiful, with a crunchy freshness and a reticent austerity. They can be intriguingly mineral, gorgeously perfumed and astonishingly pure, while still displaying rich, focused fruit flavors. They offer a lot to love.
Yet if you held your breath waiting for a discussion of Sicilian wines to get around to those of Vittoria, you may end up gasping for air.
With good reason, the
Sneakers for Women White Leather 2017 25 35 Ruco Line Leather y6P94ms
to the north have captured the imagination of many Americans. The equally entrancing wines of Vittoria stand in Etna's considerable shadow, to the point where Vittoria's star winemaker, Arianna Occhipinti , is sometimes assumed to be based in Etna.
"We are not living in the same moment as Etna," she said, as we walked her vineyards in June. "They get all the attention."

McGuire scored twice Friday night, including the eventual game-winner in the 76th minute, to lead Lipscomb to a tournament-opening victory against Southern Miss in the Mississippi State Bulldog Classic.
She is the first Lipscomb player to earn Player of the Week honors since Katie Shelton was the Defensive Player of the Week for the week of October 27, 2008. She is the first Lipscomb offensive player to earn an A-Sun weekly award in the program's history.
The Roseville, Minn., native leads the Lady Bisons with four goals this season, including two game-winners and two penalty kicks. She's tied for second in the conference in goals this season.
McGuire, along with teammates Erin Zerio and Kelsey Reiman, earned all-tournament honors at the Bulldog Classic, with the Lady Bisons going 1-1-0 during the tournament.
McGuire and the rest of the Lady Bisons will be back in action, Thursday, when Lipscomb hosts Austin Peay in a 4:30 p.m. battle on the practice field behind Cofer's Chapel Church.

34 Aaliyah Style Moments Seen In Other Entertainers
Known for more than her beautiful voice, singer Aaliyah was a maven for style. Not only did she help make it acceptable for ladies to raid their man's closet, she also made it profitable for herself (that 1997 Tommy Hilfiger campaign speaks for itself).
Now, over 11 years after her death and on her would-be 34th birthday, we look back at Baby Girl's steelo through the eyes of current artists & entertainers—even the dudes (we see you, Drake). From those midriff-baring tops paired with baggy denim, to her embracement of womanhood noticeable in the latter part of her career, Aaliyah's style definitely lives on.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t spells success for NH family run businessesBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 26. 2014 7:56PM
MANCHESTER - When Dennis Poirier and his older brother, Ron, bought the family car-repair business from their father in 1998, they made sure to split the ownership 50-50.
"It was very easy," Dennis Poirier, 54, said Friday. "None of us are greedy people. We basically had someone come in and do an appraisal of the business and what the property was worth, and we purchased it from our dad."
Bob & Sons Automotive on the West Side hums along with the company's founder, 83-year-old Bob Poirier, the brothers' dad, still stopping in every day to help. And a third-generation family member, Ron's son, Ian, 28, is learning the business.
"We have a mutual respect for each other," Dennis Poirier said. "That's our biggest key and in the fact we communicate."
Very few family feuds involve more money than the one playing out now within the Demoulas family, owners of the Market Basket supermarket chain that operates 71 New England stores and employs 25,000 people. The ouster of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas by his cousin has led to a workers' revolt and a widespread customer boycott.
The company's board Friday said it "will evaluate and seriously consider" offers from Arthur T. Demoulas and potentially others to buy a controlling stake in the company.
Dennis Poirier offered some simple advice to the Demoulas clan.
"Work it out. Sit down. Talk. Communication," he said. "Money's not everything. You only have one family."
Sometimes, families need outside help. Enter the University of New Hampshire Center for Family Business in Durham.
"It's not uncommon for family businesses to have some strife as they make transitions from one generation to another generation," said the center's director, Barbara Draper.
The center, she said, brings in experts who assist multi-generation families in transferring ownership and leadership from one generation to another.
"The more people you've got involved in ownership and management, the more complicated it gets," Draper said. "It's always a struggle around power and money."
Sometimes, those struggles end up in court.
Townsend Thorndike sued his brother, Charles, over ownership of Annalee Mobilitee Dolls Inc., a well-known dollmaker in Meredith started by their parents in 1951.
In 1992, the parents gave 48 percent of the business's voting stock to each son, leaving 2 percent to each parent, according to court papers.
The battle came before the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
A 2006 court ruling said Townsend Thorndike accused his brother of "freezing him out" from the company.
The state's highest court, however, didn't rule on the case's merits, citing time limits for filing the court action.
"The two brothers just couldn't agree," Draper said.
At the height of its popularity in the mid-1990s, Annalee's was doing $15 million in annual sales and employed 300 people.
The company was sold in 2008.
The Thorndikes couldn't be reached for comment.
Neil Niman, UNH's economics department chair, said family-owned businesses often mix personal animosity with business decisions.
"That's the problem with a family business: it's run by people with interests other than economic," Niman said. "You're not making sound business decisions but making decisions because someone's got to win and someone's got to lose."
Family members often have long memories, he said.
"There are slights or insults that happened years ago that people don't seem to get over," Niman said.
"They remember and relive it, and it creates anger and resentment that goes on for years and years, which in privately owned family business, oftentimes you see these kind of disputes leading to the end of the company."
Draper said a parent running a company sometimes take pause over passing the business to the next generation until a successor is ready and may hire an interim leader from outside the family.
"Some of my companies do that for a transition period while the next generation is growing up, getting experienced enough, deciding whether they want to be in the business," she said.
Even some Market Basket customers understood the family dynamics playing out with the supermarket strife.
"There's nothing worse than working with family," Shirley Durette of Manchester said after shopping at the Manchester store last week.

Is faster and smarter than other members of his kind, having the power over stone, and is fiercely loyal to his master.Hecate: Female Makuta with mastery of viruses and mutation. Is very calm and logical, but very kind towards her servant Rarin.Tageria: Female Makuta – while clever, isn't the sharpest knife in the block. The fall of the Brotherhood has struck her particularly hard, up to the point that she abuses Rarin when she is angered.Visotoran: Grotesque hybrids of Matoran and Visorak created by Hecate to serve her. Are blind, but have enhanced other senses that enable them to fight. They have six legs and six arms – two arms with blades protruding from their wrists, two with giant crab-claws, and two with seven-fingered needles for extremities. They are blindly loyal to Hecate, able to think but unable to rebel.Nightborn: Monster-servants to Karzahni in ancient times, said to be the ones that bear the condemned away to their master's realm. They are accompanied by the strange husks of Matoran known as Nemesi and a flight of crows. Vanished from their native realm after their master's exile, but still haunt the universe.Terms/EventsGerilmi: Term for beings with no fixed home; Matoran for "Wanderer". (This can be slightly derogative, since it implies that the being in question has no loyalty.)Reborn/Rebirth: Event that happened about five years after the destruction of the Brotherhood, caused by the near-simultaneous use of Toa Stones created by remaining Toa.RahiSerohes: Four-legged, herbivorous Rahi that are best known for their fine manes of metal and heavy hooves. While they are bigger, stronger, and faster than Ussal crabs, they are more resistant to domestication than the more common Ussal, with only a few being trained by various beings.Thundercats: Sleek, black armored felines with golden markings, thundercats are distant cousins to the rock lion and are best known for their blistering speed and the electrical shocks they generate to paralyze their prey. They are considered to be the unofficial mascots of the Lightning tribes.Needle Wolves: A breed of Kavinika mutated by Makuta Hecate, they are feared and hated by veterans of the Destiny War. They are called so because of their pelts resemble layers of long, sharp needles: when upright, they can badly injure an opponent, but they offer strong protection when lying flat. They are extremely intelligent and were favored as "guard dogs" for Brotherhood fortresses. Some rogue packs still wander the universe, but most have been either killed or placed in the Metru Nui Archives.Storm Hawks: A breed of Nivawk that was mutated by Hecate, Storm Hawks are twice as big as their unmutated cousins, and while they are unable to control the weather, these fliers can whip up powerful winds with the beating of their wings. They are extraordinarily intelligent and usually work in pairs with riders, but their size made them easy targets during the Destiny War. A few were captured and placed in the Archives after the War, but some still live in the wilder places in the universe.Golums: Towering statues with special machines studding their joints, Golums are creatures of stone animated by the Makuta, and were mostly used as remote-controlled demolition crews or brute squads. Loathed by the Destiny War veterans as much as the Needle Wolves, Golums – while slow, clumsy, and brainless – devastated the Toa during the Destiny War, killing many just by stepping on them. A smaller version of the Golums, created several years later, were quicker and more agile, but they always mirror the actions of the one that controls them. After the War, the Vortixx and the Matoran of Metru Nui took authority of the surviving Golums to study their technology.Shrieks: A mutated hybrid of Ice Bats and Necrofinches created by Hecate, Shrieks are small and easy to kill, but it was their numbers and sonic abilities that caused the deaths of hundreds of soldiers. Shrieks always travel in flocks, and as they constantly make very loud noise, a few dozen could deafen entire squads until their numbers were thinned. As Shrieks are notoriously fast, they were key to distracting enemy groups so Brotherhood troops could flank them. They had no other war purpose except as a distraction. After the Destiny War, some Shrieks were placed in the Archives for study, while the rest were nearly hunted to extinction. A few still live on the Southern Continent, though there are no signs of devastating flocks.Other ThingsInspiration

NEW YORK -- Richard Chai showed his spring 2014 men's and women's runway collections at the Lincoln Center tents Thursday, the first day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York.
The inspiration: When recently asked by fashion-industry trade paper WWD for the season's inspiration, Chai summed it up in just two words: "Soft geometry," a simple straightforward answer that translated into something considerably more nuanced on the catwalk.
The look: There was certainly enough geometry to make Euclid himself proud – among them a silk dress in patchwork geometrics of white and red (described as "grenadine" in the show notes), stripes of every, well, stripe gracing women's shirtdresses and trousers, and even a couple pieces that paired poppy prints with eye-popping geometrics in cornflower blue.
The softness was there too – for women that meant double-breasted cotton/nylon blazers and diaphanous trouser legs that billowed like twin parachutes; for men that meant pajama-like shorts, oversized trousers and poplin shirts. But the collection was also about the juxtaposition of textures too – most notably in the surfeit of solid seersucker that showed up on Bermuda shorts, pleated trousers and double-breasted jackets, but also in the black-and-white-striped mixed fabrication T-shirts and a sequined see-through skirt that shimmered like exotic fish scales with every step.
The scene: Christina Ricci, Zachary Quinto, Louise Roe, Colton Haynes ("Teen Wolf") and the Jonas brothers were among the celebrity guests seated in the front row.
Notable news: This season marked the debut of a collaboration between Chai and outerwear label Andrew Marc on a range of leather jackets (earlier this year the designer had been tapped to serve as a creative consultant to the brand).
While the quilted leather on some of the supple leather jackets fit in with the textured geometrics seen throughout the collection, the rest of the details -- the inside-the-elbow sleeve zippers, chunky pocket snaps and double rows of buckles -- felt just a bit heavy and out of step with the rest of the easy-breezy, light-and-easy catwalk collection.
The verdict: Totally textured layered luxe -- and a short course in soft geometry that Chai passes with flying colors.
