Standard & Poors on Friday cut its outlook on Agere Systems from stable to negative, a sign that the Allentown company could have its credit ratings cut if its financial situation does not improve. Standard & Poors said it cut its outlook on Agere because the company likely wont have positive cash flow by the end of its fiscal year in September. S&P affirmed Ageres BB- corporate credit rating.

For instance, being fully dressed is important. (No bellies showing, no strapless tops, no \"muscle shirts.\") Pants are pulled up and underwear may not show. No gang symbols. No beer or cigarette shirts. Too much body-piercing is too much. All common-sense guidelines.

The New York Times, in a May 20 editorial, characterized the $1.35 trillion amount as a \"deception,\" claiming the figure was calculated with artificial devices disguising the true cost. Some of the tax cuts abruptly expire before the 11-year fiscal period is up. Also, some provisions of the bill are phased in slowly with most of them not fully enacted until 2009, 2010 and 2011. Consequently, its cost in the second decade, when the baby boomers will all be retired, is more than $4 trillion.

The May 27 story, \"Job goes, worries come,\" that featured my husband, Todd, and his layoff from Agere Systems, was not to get pity from people. The bills were all paid and up-to-date before the layoff.

The marriage penalty, which my wife and I have been paying for years, as have approximately 25 million other couples, is to be phased in starting in five years, but don't hold your breath. This is the change most married couples voted for (most likely giving President Bush the presidency), expecting this to take effect immediately, and not five years down the road. By the time it is phased in totally, which is maybe 10 years from now, most of us baby boomers will be on Social Security -- if that program is still alive.

The May 28 story about teaching children about disabilities through the use of dolls probably gave many a warm and fuzzy feeling. As an active member of the \"Disability Culture,\" I look at things a little differently -- beginning with the headline, \"Teaching Tolerance.\" Tolerate what? Do people really think we are looking for tolerance? What we should be teaching are concepts like understanding, respect and empowerment for all people.
