(Ithaca, NY) The Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday at Tree of Life Health and Wellness, located at 510 West State Street in downtown Ithaca.

Tree of Life is a unique health care practice with the mission of promoting optimal patient health by detecting and treating the cause of symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. Unlike the traditional disease-specific approach to health, which is focused on symptoms, they concentrate on the causes. This integrative approach does not just use standard diagnostic tests but goes to the next level, investigating the structural, biochemical, and neurological interference that is likely to cause disease processes.

Washington, D.C - U.S. Representative Michael A. Arcuri (D-Utica) shepherded legislation through the U.S House of Representatives today to allow for $1.3 billion in tax relief for small businesses. Arcuri introduced the Rule for consideration of The Small Business Tax Relief Act of 2007 (H.R. 976), spoke in support of the bill, and managed one hour of debate.

"I am honored, as a member of the distinguished Rules Committee, to manage the rule for consideration of such an important piece of legislation that will provide $1.3 billion dollars of tax relief for our nation's small business owners," Arcuri said. "Small businesses are the back bone of our economy, providing jobs and services in our communities. But by passing this bill today we not only help small businesses and family farms, we move forward to raise the minimum wage for millions of Americans who need it most. Ten years is too long for any hard-working American to wait for a wage increase."

Friday, 23 February 2007
All of us would like to think we will enjoy a comfortable retirement. If you're a woman, however, you might be significantly more nervous than your male peers about life as a retiree. This fear may not be entirely justified, but, in any case, you can greatly improve your outlook for retirement by understanding where you are now - and how to get where you want to go.

But first, you may have to overcome both fear and a financial "gender gap." Consider these findings from recent surveys conducted by Harris Interactive:
