employees do not have a dedicated company office up from 30 percent in 2001. ne in five employees work from home. thers are on the go or assigned to a customer location. At her home in Brewster Arnold works full time for IBM analyzing weekly sales data to write reports for executives. Her manager is in Poughkeepsie and they communicate by e-mail and instant message and talk on the phone about once a week. “Some people say they could never work from home because they don’t think they are disciplined… “Companies used to think of flexibility as something to give to valued employees. It was a favor or accommodation to someone you didn’t want to lose. Now companies are seeing it as a strategic business tool” she said. In the New York City area telecommuting is one of the strategies that will be considered when a new committee meets to debate ways to ease congestion into Manhattan.

Los Republicanos
San Diego Union Tribune – Jul 22, 2007
” As Spanish-language Christian radio stations were springing up in major cities due to popular demand a sitting Democratic senator from Iowa was calling Christian broadcasters “our own homegrown Taliban. ” Somewhere something has to give. Meanwhile Hispanic economic power has gathered such steam in recent years as to propel millions of us into the traditionally Republican ranks of home and business owners. This is already affecting our economic views. In the survey referenced above a surprising 56 percent of Hispanics said that to “lower taxes on families and businesses” is “the best strategy to begin growing the economy again. ”That may seem counterintuitive but so is today's Hispanic economic reality. Many Americans grew up with the stereotype of the lazy Mexican but how many lazy Mexicans can you say you've actually seen in the last week? Not only do Hispanics participate in the labor market at astonishingly high rates and enjoy a historically low 5… Can Republicans win Hispanic hearts with appeals to this optimism and this fiscal and social conservatism? Ronald Reagan certainly did. His re-election campaign of 1984 drew 37 percent of Hispanic voters. Even though he was certain to clobber Walter Mondale in his home state of California he set up a Latino outreach operation there because he was thinking of the future for the state's Republicans. In fact in various states and by varied methods forward-looking Republican politicians going all the way back to Richard Nixon have studied and courted Latino voters even back when we represented a much smaller portion of the electorate. The potential is enormous for Republicans to seek and receive more Hispanic votes provided that the party will welcome them into the political process. This is just one more reason why a gradual Hispanic realignment can take shape – a strong current beneath the waves on the surface of America's political ocean. BEYND IMMIGRATINBelieve it or not today's Republican dilemma over Latinos does not revolve around the contentious immigration issue – except perhaps to the extent that it can breed ugly racial rhetoric offensive to immigrants and non-immigrants alike.

Businesses in area ponder whether to sell on Sundays
Charleston Post Courier – Jul 22, 2007

But he soon realized the shop was losing a wave of weekend bu… Both customer groups prefer weekend shopping she said. ther local retailers view closing on Sundays as a perk that helps them attract and retain good workers. That’s the case at GDC Home which has about 70 employees staffing three stores in West Ashley Mount Pleasant and near Kiawah Island.
