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.
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.

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. __________________________________

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. ------------------------------------------------

By Andrea Braham KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS): rime Minister Portia Simpson Miller has announced a number of economic initiatives for Jamaica that are scheduled to come on stream during 2013.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

By Howard Renrut ayor Michael R. Bloomberg recently announced that a special, non-partisan election will be held in the 31st Council District on February 19, 2013 to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Council Member James Sanders, Jr., who has accepted a seat in the New York State Senate. The newly elected Council Member will serve until December 31, 2013. Michael R. Duncan, an engaging community leader with a big voice has announced his intention to compete in the February 19th special election for the vacant City Council seat. The Jamaican-born democrat wants to be an agent of change that he says is woefully lacking in that Queens community. "My 18 years of service across the social, educational, and economic spectrum has prepared me to serve the Southeast Queens Community at the highest level" Duncan reiterated. "My policies will advance the education attainment of the children of Southeast Queens and develop economic self reliance for the residents and businesses within our district. My experiences has prepared me to be the best candidate to serve our community" he noted.

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.
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-
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. To help teach New Yorkers to swim, Parks is offering free swimming lessons for people of all ages at our indoor pools. Saturday classes are available for toddlers (1-5), children (6-17), and adults (18+). Weekday afterschool classes are available for children (6-17) and adults (18+). Classes for the winter session are held during a 10week session from January 21 March 30. Please make sure you/your child are available for all classes. Parks is offering online registration for our Learn to Swim classes. The classes are free and online registration is free. If you dont have access to a computer, staff is available to assist people with registering or you can access a computer at your local library. For more information and to register, please visit: http://nyc.gov/parks/citywideaquatics
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.

Extra care tips: Do not shampoo hair for 48 hours after your application.
Maintenance requirements When cared for properly, hair extension should last up to six months. If you choose a reputable stylist who bond the hair gently to your natural hair, the care process is similar to your regular routine.
Brush your hair in the morning and before bed using a specially designed hair brush for extensions. Before bed, pull your hair back into a soft plait to prevent tangling. Return to your salon two weeks after your extensions have been applied for a check-up. After or before swimming, check with stylist to select product to readily eliminate damage from alkalinity in water.

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. Nice work, and stay vigilant!

ADVICE COLUMN
divinestreethype@gmail.com
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?
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.

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.

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.

People in life who are the happiest don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything they have

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.
Business Hype
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.
