He is the reigning Olympic champion in these two events, the first man to win six Olympic gold medals in sprinting, and a five-time World champion. He was the first to achieve a "double double" by winning 100 m and 200 m titles at consecutive Olympics (2008 and 2012) and topped this through the first "double triple" (including 4x100m relays). His 2009 record-breaking margin for 100 m, from 9.69 to 9.58 seconds, is the highest since the start of fully automatic time measurements. It was an extremely busy year for Mount Vernons based licensed funeral director Patriece B. Miller, founder and CEO of Patriece B. Miller Funeral Service, Inc.

More Planning and Networking for 2013 M

ost of us are happy to be alive and welcome 2013 while cheerfully say goodbye to the past year. This time of year we all make resolutions and promises as we seek to improve our lives and enhance relationships with friends and family members. A historian once said, that a way of understanding where we are in the world today, is to understand the past by finding out how we got where we are and where we may be going in the future. It is therefore, very critical that we review our personal, professional or business activities during the past year. Overall, in our evaluation, while the US economic environment has shown some signs of stabilizing, there were many issues that contributed to the uncertainty in businesses. The business consulting firm, Protiviti, observed that during 2012, both the State and Federal governments implemented several business regulatory and policy changes. The rapid pace of technology-and growing consumer appetite- have helped to make privacy and information security issues, data management and analytics, and software investments in business performance improvement top priorities. Protiviti also noted that achieving customer loyalty and changing geopolitical dynamics, have become dominant concerns in the ongoing wake of the global financial crisis.

aking decisions is a central part of leadership. Even when a leader uses a laissez-faire leadership style, the leader remains responsible for making many decisions such as the nature of the goals that followers should pursue and the type of leadership style that is appropriate for their situation. Followers often look to leaders to make decisions, particularly if they have difficulty with envisioning the specific tasks that are required to achieve a specific goal. Because of the importance of decision making to leadership, you should understand how to approach decision making. To make better decisions, one must understand that decision making is a process involving a sequential series of steps that are considered part of the critical thinking process. These steps are (a) identify the problem, (b) analyze the possible solutions to the problem, (c) evaluate which of the possible solutions will be most effective, and (d) select and implement that solution. These steps give you a structured framework to improve the quality of your decisions. The first three steps focus on collecting information that is useful when making a decision. The way leaders as decision makers collect the information often depends on their leadership style and the situation. For example, the autocratic leader may be comfortable with personally collecting the information, while a participative leader may be comfortable relying on the information provided by others. Identifying a problem requires that you understand that a problem exists and can recognize the root cause of the problem. While it is often easy to recognize the symptoms of a problem, the actual cause of the problem may not be immediately apparent. As a result, a good leader carefully evaluates the nature of the problem before considering the possible solutions.
How to Be a Better Decision Maker

people are talking...!
Dr Neva Speaks
used by an organization based on the assumption that a change to fix one part of a system may cause a new problem with another part of the system. At the same time, the leader must remain aware that decisions can have effect on followers when evaluating possible alternatives. After evaluating the possible alternatives, the leader should be able to determine the solution that is most likely to solve the problem without causing new and unanticipated problems. A leader should also recognize that all decisions will not produce the desired results. Some solutions appear effective in theory but fail in practice.
I am sure that there are other challenges or issues that are unique to our individual situation. It is therefore imperative for us to identify and consider these challenges and emerging issues to avoid being caught off guard later. Now that we have identified the problems and setbacks of 2012, the focus for 2013 must be on the solutionsthe issues under our control. Proper planning and managing our limited resources must be our new years resolutions. Creating a good working business environment for both staff and clients as well as cooperating and networking with your colleagues are key steps to help grow your business in 2013.
patrick@streethype.net
As a result, an effective decision maker has a contingency plan in the event that the decision fails to achieve the desired result. The contingency plan often consists of a solution to the problem that was rejected during the evaluation phase. __________________________________

Eion Dreadless Ras Saunders, founder of ZYNC TV/NEW YORK LINKZ, passed away suddenly December 27, 2012 at the Beth Israel Hospital, Brooklyn. He was 47. The news stunned many in New Yorks Caribbean American media circle and the wider community which Saunders had covered since 2005 as an independent television producer, director, writer, and host.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti: aiti is one of the safest destinations; not just in the Caribbean, but throughout all the Americas. This is the general finding of recent studies on crime in the region which show that Haiti has the lowest rate of violent deaths in comparison to previous years. In 2012 according to the UNODC, Haiti's violent death rate of 6.9 out of every hundred thousand Haitians is among the lowest rates in the Americas, and the same as Long Beach, California. This is mainly attributable to a strong focus on the strengthening and modernization of its security forces. ------------------------------------------------

HAVANA, Cuba (ACN): uban immigration authorities said that appropriate conditions have been created in the country for the implementation of new legal regulations aimed at updating the islands migration policy, to come into force on January 14. Such conditions guarantee the successful implementation of new measures, which will have a positive impact on the population by easing migratory procedures, said the authorities, cited by PL news agency. According to the new regulations, passport applications can be made at local ID registration, or immigration offices throughout the country. Some 195 of those offices exist on the island, according to the national media. Although there has been an increase in the number of passport applications, the service has developed appropriately. The new measures announced on October 16, also eliminate the need for a permit to travel abroad and a letter of invitation that was formerly required for this purpose. The migration update also extends the permit for Cuban citizens to stay out of the country from 11 to 24 months without losing their residency and allows the departure of youths under 18 years, with prior authorization by their parents or legal representatives.

WASHINGTON: he United States spends more money on immigration enforcement--nearly $18 billion in the 2012 fiscal year--than on its other law enforcement agencies combined, according to a report released Monday from the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. That spending went to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and US-Visit, a program that helps states and localities identify undocumented immigrants. By contrast, the U.S. spent $14.4 billion -- combined -- on its other prime law enforcement agencies: the FBI, Secret Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Marshal Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. There's a reason for the high cost. The Migration Policy Institute found that ICE and CBP also refer more cases to prosecution than those other agencies combined, and the immigration agencies also held more individuals in fiscal year 2011 than the federal Bureau of Prisons. Still, the numbers are striking. Immigration enforcement has expanded rapidly since 1986, when Congress
LEGAL ISSUES $18 Billion for Immigration Enforcement

passed the enforcement-heavy Immigration Reform and Control Act. Since then, the U.S. has spent nearly $187 billion on immigration enforcement, according to the report. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, which led to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security that now houses immigration enforcement, made the spending surge even more marked. Immigration enforcement is more in focus than ever this year, as Congress and the White House begin work on a bipartisan agreement for reform of the system. The Obama administration, while deporting a record number of people, has put in place some reforms to focus more on high-priority immigrants, such as convicted criminals. It also implemented the deferred action program to stop deporting some undocumented young people. Those policies were met by some on the right with the claim that the administration doesn't care to enforce immigration law, a possible sticking point as the two sides seek to find an agreement. The Migration Policy Institute found that border enforcement is, for the most part, working. Doris Meissner, director of immigration policy at the institute and a former commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, told reporters on a conference call that she is somewhat baffled by the insistence that the U.S.-Mexico border is out of control, sometimes brought forth by people who want to block reform.
Government spends about 15 times more on immigration enforcement than it did in the mid-1980s. Deported about 30,000 people in the 1990 fiscal year; In 2012, it removed a record 409,894.
The government spends about 15 times more on immigration enforcement than it did in the mid-1980s, adjusted for inflation, the report found. At the same time, deportations have exploded. The U.S. deported about 30,000 people in the 1990 fiscal year; in the 2012 fiscal year, it removed a record 409,894. A majority of those people were deported without an order from an immigration judge, instead using DHS' discretion, the Migration Policy Institute found.

by Mary Giovagnoli ome families facing long separations from their loved ones because of U.S. immigration laws will have an easier time of it in 2013. Thanks to a new regulation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), immediate relatives of U.S. citizens will be able to complete part of the processing of their immigration cases without leaving the country. The Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver of Inadmissibility for Certain Immediate Relatives rule, often referred to as the new family unity rule, was published January 3, 2013 and become effective on March
New Innigration Waiver to Help Families

4. The challenge will be to continue to press for maximum coverage in all aspects of immigration reform as legislators have far more leeway than regulators to revise the immigration laws. DHS first proposed the change in procedure, which allows immediate relatives (parents, spouses, and children) of U.S. citizens who entered the country without permission to apply for a waiver of their unlawful entry while still in the United States, in April of 2012. The change in procedure was proposed as a solution to a growing problemfamilies were facing months, and in some cases, years of separation
because of two conflicting provisions of U.S. immigration law. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), a person seeking to adjust their status to lawful permanent resident must be admitted or paroled into the country if they wish to have their case decided in the U.S. If they entered the country unlawfully, the law requires them to go to a U.S. embassy or consulate for processing of their application. Departure from the United States in many cases, however, triggers a three to ten year bar to re-entering the country, which requires a separate waiver application.

NORTH RYDE, Australia: ustralian marathon swimmer Chlo McCardel, 27, has announced her intention to tackle the more than 100mile non-stop 60 hour plus world record swim from Cuba to the United States in June 2013, without using a shark cage. Swimming across the powerful and unpredictable Gulf Stream and Florida Straits, this swim has never been successfully crossed without a shark cage. It will become the longest continuous solo swim in history without assistance, at least 50% further than the current record (67 miles). McCardel will also use this opportunity to raise much needed funds for cancer research and support for those with cancer as this is a cause which is close to her heart.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC: arbados made light work of Leeward Islands, romping to an emphatic ninewicket win to send an early warning in the 2013 edition of the Caribbean Twenty20 here Monday. They routed the lowly Leewards for a paltry 87 off 17.3 overs and then breezed to their target off just 8.2 overs at Queens Park Oval, registering the first outright win of the tournament after rain forced a no-result in Sundays curtain raiser. The contest was reduced to 18 overs per side after wet conditions, resulting from all-day rain, delayed the start by an hour and 20 minutes.

Jamie Foxx in the Film M DJANGO an Dessalines Style W

By Smith Georges hile Haitians are celebrating Haitian Independence Day and organizing Independence Day events all over the world during the month of January, one thing that has caught my attention is the release of the film DJANGO. Hollywood has always been reluctant to produce a movie about the independence of Haiti because the Haitian Revolutionary leaders Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines have always been seen as a threat to the West, particularly the nation that used enslaved black people (including the United States of America.) I went to see the movie DJANGO twice in order to absorb and digest the screenplay and the relation to the past plights of people of African heritage around the world - and particularly people from my native country Haiti, the historic Caribbean nation, where Haitian people broke the chain of slavery, fought victoriously bloody battles to defeat the Spanish, the English and the French in order to gain their independence and to create the first Black Independent Country in the World. On January 1st, 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the father of the independence of Haiti, who avenged mercilessly the cruel, sadistic and barbaric white slave owners as well as all other white people on his path who were living in the island at that time. His motto was Coupe tet, boule cay (Behead them and burn down their homes.) Dessalines vengeance in the form of giving the white people a taste of their own medicine was similar to what Jamie Foxx did in the movie DJANJAMIE FOXX GO that is being played now in movie theaters everywhere. The film starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo Di Caprio, Kerry Washington and Samuel Jackson reminds us how black people used to be treated in the hands of the whites. The film also brings back memory flash of how an enslaved African man from Haiti by the name of Dessalines defeated the Napoleonic troops to create a proud black nation. I urge everyone to go see the movie. Who would have believed that today a black man would be leading America and the world? Lets be frank, that would not have been possible without large support of white folks. President Barack Hussein Obama has been elected twice. This is a sign that time and minds have changed, but there remains work to be done in order to create more harmonious relations among races.

elek Ra' was born and raised in a small town in Delaware in a abusive parent/single parent home where his mother did most of the upbringing! The oldest of 6, he was led to mature a little more quickly than his peers... Little did he know, these morals, responsibilities, and values would later become priceless assets that would propel him through the music industry! He later moved to Richmond in 2000 and that's where his music career began to advance! He had been writing poems since a young boy and converted that same poetic capability into his music! Over the years, with such a great passion for his craft, he learned to produce beats in 2002 and it too, became something he was intimately involved with! This grew into a stronger desire to become 'one with the music' and he began to venture into the engineering side of the craft in 2004! Since then he has recorded countless songs for himself and others and has found his own lane in the industry! A perfect blend between 'street rap' and 'conscious rap', he somehow balances the two effortlessly, enabling him to grasp the attention of the streets, yet not glorify it's dark side! Melek Ra' is a voice for the new awakening!

by Jiselle aising a child with additional learning needs and/or challenging behaviours can be very stressful on families. Parents often arent sure where to turn to get help. Here are some suggestions that can help contribute to a calm and happy home life.
Tips for calm and happy kids!
KIDS ADVICE
1. All behaviour (the good, the bad and the ugly) is trying to tell you something. Your child may be tired, frustrated, hungry or seeking attention they just cant express it appropriately.
2. Your child may not know what is expected of them in a given situation. Make your expectations explicit. What does be good at the shops actually mean? What does it look like? And the next time you go to the shops you will have to go through it again. And quite possibly the time after that!
3. Provide plenty of positive feedback, confident in the knowledge that you are not spoiling them.
The following is a statement from Council Member Leroy Comrie on the proposed closings of Law, Government, and Community Service High School, P.S. 140, and P.S.156. The proposed closings of Law, Government and Community Service High School, P.S. 140, and P.S. 156, shows how this Administration has refused to listen to reason when it comes to our childrens education. Before the administration imposed their policies, Law, Government and Community Service High School was one of the best schools in the city. It was in fact so good, that the Department of Education asked them to take in more students. While they took in more students, they were not given the additional resources needed to educate the new students. he Department of Education has also said they will be eliminating grades K through 5 at P.S. 156, creating a major disruption to students currently attending the school. Many people at these schools work extremely hard to give their students the best education possible, but the city makes their jobs much harder by not allocating the proper resources and ignoring community input. Additionally, the standards the city uses to measure schools are confusing, arbitrary, hin-
EDUCATION Dont closed the schools at P.S. 140 and P.S.156.
5. It doesnt have to be an elaborate gesture. A smile, a wink, a quick hug, a thumbs up or a high five may be acknowledgment enough. 6. Rather than try to eliminate inappropriate behaviours, it is much more effective to try to replace negative behaviours with something else.
4. Children with special needs may not have experienced success in the way other children have. And it is not forever, it is for now.
he city on Tuesday expanded its list of more schools headed for the chopping block. The Department of Education says an additional seven schools have been selected to be phased out. Additionally, at two more schools they are proposing to phase out the middle schools -sixth through eighth grades -- while keeping the

dering, rather than helping, to improve our education system. I will continue to press the administration to keep these schools open and allow our children to receive the top quality education they deserve.

remaining grades in the building. Those schools would be the Academy for Social Action: A College Board School in Manhattan and P.S. 156 Laurelton in Queens. The Department of Education on Monday identified 17 under-performing schools it wants to close or phase out for poor performance.
egistration for the winter session begins at 4:00 am, on Wednesday, Jan 9, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan 15. Knowing how to swim makes you healthy and keeps you safe.

7. Focus on the positive and find something encouraging to say even in a bad situation e.g. after a tantrum say That wasnt the right way to react but I liked the way you said sorry to me. 8. In a perfect world, as parents we would always model the behaviour we want to see. Of course, that is much easier said than done. The reality is that youll encourage positive behaviour if you are calm and in control of the situation.
10. Structure the environment so it promotes success. The mantra should be change the environment, not the child. PLAN. This is another gem that is easier said than done but worth the effort. Plan the day and in doing so, plan for success. Plan for transition times that are often fraught e.g. leaving a preferred activity to go to the next activity. Be prepared with activities for any waiting time during the day.
9. Take your child through the checkout rather than the do-it-yourself so they can see you smile at the operator, look them in the eye, have a chat and use good manners.
Tips For Hair Extensions H

BEAUTY
air extensions are popular trend. While you may have found the perfect updo, your hair might be too fine to pull it off. Hair extensions can help add volume, length, texture and/or chemicalfree colour to any style. You can personalize your application to meet all your needs. Here are a few tips for getting it right: Dont try hair extensions for the first time on your wedding day. Its advisable that you get at least 40 strands in four months before your wedding so that you can see what its like to have hair extensions in. It will give you a better idea of how many you need for your wedding. Avoid experimenting with unusual colors. Your hair should still look like you. As with any wedding hairstyle, you need to consider your dress and the overall look of the wedding. Is it formal and chic or relaxed and romantic? Your chosen hairstyle should complement this. Steer clear of outrageous, over the top styles if your usual look is simple and no fuss. It is imperative that the hair stylist that is doing your wedding hair knows how to work with hair extensions and has experience styling them.

It might seem like it doesn't matter, but if a hacker gets your account information on one site, that means they can use that login information on every other site you're registered at. Keep all your passwords different. Use Should I Change My Password? to track security breaches: If you don't keep up with tech news you probably don't see most minor security breaches.
To help out, the webapp Should I Change My Password? notifies you when a major service is hacked. That's the minimum you should do if you want to play it safe and secure with your passwords. But you can do better than that.

Let's step up your game. Level up: You're a password pro. If you're the type to conduct a lot of work online, then you need more complicated security measures. With that in mind, you should do the steps mentioned above, and a few other things. Use two-factor authentication whenever possible: Two-factor authentication is a simple way to lock your computer to an account so you have to verify your identity when you log onto a different computer. Not all services have it, but Google, LastPass, Facebook, Dropbox, and more all do. Use it. Use a password manager: We get it, you have a lot of passwords and you don't want to remember them all. Instead of reusing the same junky password, a password manager is a simple way to save them all securely. We like LastPass, butKeePass, and 1Password are equally solid solutions.
Shut down and unlink services you don't use: If you're the type to try out a lot of different webapps or mobile apps then you probably have a ton of passwords scattered around everywhere. When you decide you don't want to use a service anymore, remember to delete your account. This way, if the service is hacked you don't have to fumble around trying to remember your login information. For added protection, make sure you clean up your app permissions on Facebook andTwitter. Use misleading password hints: Finally, don't answer password hints truthfully. Instead, you can use word association, or just pick a random response (that you'll remember). If you're doing all of the above, your passwords are about as safe as they can get.

WOMAN SEEKING MAN
1. Don't criticize your partner's parents or friends. Your family can tick you off but no one else had dare speak ill of them. That's why you should tread carefully with your inlaws and your husband's dearest friends. Even when he's venting to you, your contributions can put him on the defensive. Instead put yourself in his position so that you can empathize with him. 2. Tell your spouse about any ex encounters. Whether you get a Facebook friend request or run into an old flame, keeping the news to yourself could backfire, despite having zero feelings for the ex. If there's nothing to hide, why hide it. That leads to an air of secrecy and dishonesty. 3. Keep unsolicited advice to yourself. Offer your support, but avoid speaking in an "I know what's best" tone. This goes for everything from your husband's outfit choices to how he deals with a work issue. Give your spouse space to make decisions and gain confidence through trial and error and ask that he do the same for you. What matters in a relationship is not that things get done 'right,' but that two people are dedicated to contributing to each other's happiness. 4. Don't take charge all the time. Whether you fold all the laundry or you manage the finances. The spouse who does the rescuing can become tired of that role, and resentful that everything is on her shoulders, even if she volunteered for that burden. Get in the habit of asking your partner, "What do you think works best here?" or telling him, "I could use a hand cleaning out the pantry." These requests will foster the idea that you're teammates. 5. Don't bring up past arguments. People repeat ancient disagreements because they haven't resolved the problem. Letting things fester often causes marriages to break down. It's important to address issues as they happen and come to some sort of a resolutionagreeing to disagree counts. Leave it there and respect each other's opinion.

Dear Divine Diva: 'm dating a 16-year-old girl who was seriously physically abused in the past. She and her mom had to move away for a while, but have now been told by Department of Children and Family Services that it's safe for them to move back with her father, who abused her. After seeing what goes on in that house and hearing her describe how they treat her, I think the physical abuse has changed to mental and emotional abuse. I'm not sure what to do because I'm 18 and it's "illegal" that we are dating. It scares me that they can use this against me. -What To Do?
Girl with abusive home life should try to help herself
BY DIVINE DIVA
6. Choose your battles, but don't stifle your feelings. Tell your partner why it bothers you and that you'd like to work on a solution. You'd be surprised what you could learn about each other. For instance, your husband may not leave dirty dishes in the sink anymore if you explain that your childhood home was piled high with plates and you were stuck washing them. It's also important to understand that he's not plotting to upset you every time he's sloppy or forgetful. 7. Don't post private thoughts or photos publicly. You may not want to be tagged in a politically charged rant or he may not want you to share photos of the kids. And you each deserve the other person's respect for those wishes. Discuss the ground rules regarding posting about yourself, as a couple and about the other person. And no matter what, don't take your grievances with your husband to the masses for support. It's destructive to air conflicts on Facebook. 8. Log off. When your attention is focused elsewhere, your spouse is bound to feel unimportant. So make quality time a top priority and restrict tech gadget use if necessary. Pay attention to the concept of ratio: How much time am I spending doing this compared to how much time I'm spending with my family? Create a rule that works for your household and stick to it, whether it's no devices at the dinner table, shutting down phones at 8 p.m. or going gadget-free on weekend afternoons. 9. Don't use the "D" word (divorce, that is). Even in the heat of an argument, avoid threatening to pack your bags or head to the lawyer's office. Besides the "D" word being downright hurtful, repeated warnings may result in a spouse calling the others bluff. We act as if the intensity of our anger gives us license to say or do anything. A threatening divorce is never useful, and it only makes the probability of separation more likely.
Dear Divine Diva: 'm 18 years old. I play two competitive sports, maintain a 4.0 GPA, have good friends and will be attending the college of my dreams. Yet for some reason I cannot get along with my parents. It seems like I can't live up to their standards. We get into huge fights every day over insignificant things. My parents continually tell me they don't think I will handle college very well because I "can't get along with people." But their lack of faith just frustrates me and we get into more fights. In reality, the only people I don't get along with are my parents. This is unsettling to me because next fall I will be far across the country from them and I feel they will be happy that I'm gone.

College Bound Student Doesnt Measure Up in Parents Eyes
Dear What To Do: You are not in a position to do anything yourself. If you try to get help for your girlfriend, her parents could create problems for you that would last a lifetime. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't encourage the girl to help herself by talking to a counselor, a trusted teacher or a clergyperson about the difficulties she's experiencing at home. If she does, they are mandated by law to report abuse. And this is a family that's already been in the system. -Always Divine Diva
loss as to what to do to control my temper and fix my relationship with my parents before I leave. Your advice would be appreciated. Karen From The Bronx Dear Karen: It's possible that your parents may be suffering from separation anxiety. You, their child, are about to leave the nest, and they may be dealing with conflicting feelings of pride in your accomplishments and sadness that you are about to fly from the nest. It may not be a lack of faith in you. Also, they may be having second thoughts about how they can afford the tuition and other college expenses beyond possible financial aid. Sit and talk to your parents youll be glad you did. -Always, Divine Diva

ARIES (Mar. 21 Apr. 19): You can see past the present moment as you anticipate the waves of relief heading your way. In the meantime, focusing on the present moment keeps your mind occupied. Don't let your responsibilities lag. TAURUS (Apr. 20 May 20): There is no need to go overboard with any type of indulgence; you can thoroughly enjoy yourself now by sharing simple pleasures with your friends or family. Instead of scheming for more gratification in the future. GEMINI (May 21 Jun. 20): You may feel conflicted because you're currently motivated by needs that are different from your natural tendencies. You would choose communication over silence and activity over passivity. CANCER (Jun. 21 Jul. 22): You might decide that acting cautiously is smarter than jumping into a conflict, only to discover that you are already playing a role in the scene anyhow. You may as well offer your assistance today, for your resistance will only delay a workable resolution. LEO (Jul. 23 Aug. 22): You're happiest when your love can be expressed naturally and everyone fully appreciates the magic you bring to their world. It's tricky finding a healthy balance between your inner and outer worlds. VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept. 22): Compensating for your hidden optimism by acting with cool restraint is one tactic, consider the positive impact you might have on others by offering them a ray of hope, instead. LIBRA(Sept 23 Oct.22): Retreating from the hectic world is a smart idea if you take care of your responsibilities early on. You must scale back your social obli-
HOROSCOPE
gations or things probably won't unfold according to your ideal plan. Be ready for a few unexpected twists and turns; engage them willingly instead of resisting the inevitable. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov. 21): Don't squander your time by celebrating with just anyone; you can be as selective as you want when it comes to the company you keep. Choose a few special friends and carve out enough space to share something meaningful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 Dec.21): You have recently experienced a phase of expansionism and it's time to re-establish balance in your life. Your tendency to overstep limits may be a central theme for months to come, but it's still not healthy to lose yourself in unrealistic visions for next year. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 Jan. 19): Don't be too selfjudgmental if you can't yet get the traction you desire. You wisely realize that the best ideas take time to develop. Remember that you are currently caught between optimism and realism. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 Feb. 18): It's awesome that you can still be comfortable even when life gets strange and weird. It's not that anything in particular is going wrong now; it's just that there are lots of loose ends that defy tying up. PISCES (Feb. 19 Mar. 20): Your friends might try to bring you back down to earth, but it's not easy to spend time with them if they're raining on your dreams and draining your enthusiasm. It's not that they have bad intentions where you're concerned; it's just that they don't understand the intense relationship you have with your imagination.

You can also use your spare vegetable "tips" to make delicious Kangen Water
Once your vegetables have been properly cleaned, you can store the pieces you do not need right away in the freezer. Once you have about 3 or 4 pounds of vegetable pieces stored, you're ready to make delicious, flavorful Kangen Water Vegetable Broth. Once the broth is made, add your cooked vegetables to your compost pile.
Don't waste any part of your vegetables! Many people chop up a vegetable and throw away the ends - in fact, 27% of all edible food gets wasted every year! But you can reduce waste by using these veggie tips to make healthy homemade Kangen Water broth!
taying hydrated with alkaline Kangen Water is an important step toward physical health, but a healthy diet is also paramount in overall wellness. Healthy eating supports a healthy body. You can maximize the power of your Enagic machine by learning how to prepare Nature's healthy ingredients with 3 different types of Enagic Water, and then cooking these vibrant foods with alkaline Kangen Water. Here are some simple ways you can substitute Kangen Water in your recipes to make your food even more nutritious and delicious:
HEALTH & NUTRITION Reducing Sodium In Your Diet Cooking with Kangen Water
What is sodium? A mineral needed by our bodies for regulation of fluid balance, contraction of muscles and conduction of nerve impulses Kidneys regulate the bodys sodium level but when they fail to filter out excess sodium, swelling can occur in different parts of the body and blood pressure can increase.

We need $5 M to purchase two Linear Accelerator Machines for Jamaica
am appealing to everyone especially our Caribbean brothers and sisters. I have been asked to purchase a Linear Accelerator Machine for Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay, Jamaica costing approximately US $5 Million. I met with the Minister of Health, Dr. Fenton Ferguson a few weeks ago. He asked if I can purchase two machines as Kingston needs one also. If 500,000 people give a one-time donation of $10, we will be closer to our goal.

FOR MORE INFO:
Use Kangen Water (9.0 pH) when steaming your food. You can infuse more flavor into your steamed food by using Homemade Kangen Water Broth instead of water, or adding citrus zest to the Kangen Water when steaming vegetables.
Remember that reducing waste is a big part of living green, so here is another way you can use your scraps. Save your shrimp tails, mussel or crawfish shells, fish ends, and vegetable tips to make a delicious Kangen Water Seafood Stock.
salad dressings! If you have ever looked at the label of most salad dressings in the grocery store, you know they are largely comprised of water, high fructose corn syrup, and other natural and artificial "flavors." Why not eat salad dressing made of healthy, alkaline Kangen Water and other nutritious and natural ingredients?
How much salt is enough? The human adult needs 500 to 1000 milligrams of sodium per day or about to 1 teaspoons of table salt Most Americans actually consume eight times that amount Reducing sodium in the diet may reduce high blood pressure, which can in turn decrease the chances of heart or kidney disease and stroke A low-sodium diet may need to be combined with weight loss and exercise or medication to decrease blood pressure What are ways to reduce sodium in the diet? Buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats and try to avoid processed foods and frozen dinners
Skip salting the water for boiling rice, pasta, and veggies. Try reduced sodium products instead of the originals Avoid foods with words such as pickled, smoked, cured because they are likely to have a high sodium content Use condiments such as ketchup, pickles, relish, and tartar sauce sparingly Use fresh or dried herbs and spices and citrus instead of salt to flavor foods Sodium Free Spice Blends Zippy Barbeque Blend 2 Tb.

Get organized. Disorganization is one of the most common reasons small business owners make mistakes when filing their taxes. The same way you should be keeping good records all year long, you should be organizing your records all year long. Being organized will do a few things for you. One, its going to make it easier to file. Two, its going to reduce your audit risk, and three, since audit risk can never be reduced to zero, its going to make it that much easier to provide the documents requested if you are audited. So organization is the key, really, to filing, to audits, and to successful audits.
Keep good records. Keep everything in a file. Hold onto receipts, pay stubs, charts of accounts, and any other paperwork related to the financials of the business. To keep good records all year long most small business owners dont think about it until November or December, or even January of the new year to start planning but the best time to start is January 1 of the prior year. Put your business plan into play on January 1st, and reconcile all your paperwork each month.
o quote Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing in life is certain but death and taxes." Theres usually more work involved for small businesses than for individuals when it comes to filing taxes, but that doesnt mean it has to be more daunting. Exactly what small business owners need to know about filing their taxes.

If you get audited, dont panic. This is one time you should always call a professional; never try to handle an audit on your own. Tax professionals have generally been through this before, and know what an IRS auditor is looking for. They may also have a relationship with the IRS thats been previously established, and this is in your best interest.
... and when to outsource the work. Time spent hunting and picking through financials versus running your business and trying to find a direction takes away from the ultimate goal. Id rather use somebody, whether Im a one or two-person shop, or a hundred-person shop, that can do the best that I could not do, and do it functionally, efficiently and bring me a value. Have the work done right the first time around by a professional, that way you can spend that time focusing on running your business.
Know when to handle your own taxes Some small businesses owners are perfectly capable of handling the companys taxes on their own. A lot of small companies with few employees dont have the resources or need to hire a bookkeeper. If you have everything in order and know what expenses you can deduct and what to file where, or if you have an internal accountant or bookkeeper, you may not need to hire someone externally to help you.
