Mayor Vincent C. Gray signed a bill on Wednesday intended to ensure that city residents are hired to work on D.C.-funded projects as part of an "increasingly large arsenal" in the city's fight against high unemployment. The new law should give teeth to the District's ability to track and enforce its First Source program - an initiative to ensure that companies receiving D.C. tax dollars hire city residents - by means of enhanced hiring and reporting requirements through the Department of Employment Services.

Adopted in 1948 by the United Nations, the declaration claims to guarantee some rights mentioned in the Constitution, but also purports to protect other so-called rights, including the individual's right to "social security," "periodic holidays with pay," "rest and leisure," "a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family," and "just and favorable conditions of work and ... protection against unemployment." Americans were reminded that the federal government needs to have tools to fight terrorism when British authorities uncovered an ambitious plan by Islamic extremists to blow up 10 airplanes en route to the U.S. Yet CCR would deprive the government of its powers to protect America.

In addition to dealing with the War in Iraq, I will also focus on the war at home," she said, "and the war at home includes the fight against crime, poverty, unemployment, and inadequate health care for the citizens of this community. From the national and very negative attention the hospital's inspection received and the untimely termination of several CMS staffers, and the state's suspension and subsequent renewal of the hospital's license, [Yvonne B. Burke] said, "it was almost like there was a conspiracy to close the hospital." "In October a request for proposal, RFP, will be issued to see if an outside group is interested in operating the hospital," she said. "We must continue basic operations to sustain the license that we do have to avoid possible future and very costly seismic...

MS-13 is ruthless. They take no prisoners. They simply annihilate their opposition," retired Detective Marquez Claxton told the AmNews. "The police in New Jersey don't want to recognize publicly that the shooting deaths of the three Newark college students might have a MS-13 connection. [DeLacy Davis], who retired last year as a sergeant in the New Jersey police force, spent seven years assigned to community services, which he said brought him into constant contact with the gangs. If MS-13 is indeed involved in the student "executions," he warned, "We must be made aware. It changes the conversation dramatically." "The rally was excellent," Larry Ham of the People's Organization for Progress told the AmNews at press time Wednesday. "Several hundred people attended. The whole point of t...

The business lobby doesn't see it that way, predicting destruction of the business climate by overburdening employers-just as they said about Social security, unemployment insurance, minimum wage and the 40-hour work week. In this fight against reality, business groups are losing traction. So they're switching gears. Now they stump for the under-50-employee exemption, saying small businesses need flexibility. They deride a "one-size-fits-all" mandate. To get support in the Legislature for New Jersey to adopt paid family leave, let's exempt companies with fewer than 50 employees. Exemption supporters cite current federal family leave policy, which does exempt companies with fewer than 50 workers.

Many immigrants and their children ask themselves the question of identity. Often we allow others to identify us and colonize our consciousness. Once we are "given" our identities, we are then stereotyped because of them. We then reap the benefit, or the disadvantages of our stereotypes. In turn social stereotypes that surround us, further shape our self-identity and consequently, the decisions we make. If we have no other outlet or if we feel as though there are no other options, we live those stereotypes. Some are harmful to us and leave us in the disadvantages places even to oppression of ourselves. In this paper, I discuss some harms of stereotyping, how it leads to voluntary oppression, and make some suggestion for ending racial oppression.
