(NAPSA)—Good news for peo-ple concerned about employmentin America today: Well-payingjobs in the manufacturing sector—actually, more than 600,000 ofthem—are waiting for workerswho have been properly trained.That’s why now may be the
time to take a second look at acareer in manufacturing.Why are so many skilled labor
jobs unfilled? Part of it has to dowith perception. Many people,especially young people, think acareer in manufacturing involvesworking in noisy, dirty surround-ings in a job that gathers littlerespect and less attention. Thosestereotypes may have been moreaccurate decades ago, but arereally not today.Manufacturing plants and
facilities are now highly auto-mated, and it takes a great deal oftraining and knowledge to operatethe machinery and equipment.People can’t simply walk in off thestreet and get those jobs.As high school students think
about plans following graduation,a career in a skilled labor fieldisn’t top of mind with most. Infact, a recent poll found that while70 percent of Americans thinkmanufacturing is the most impor-tant industry as far as effect onthe national economy goes, only30 percent say they’d encouragetheir children to pursue a manu-facturing career.While conventional four-year
college programs are a good fit forsome, many students would thrivein a technical education programif given the chance. Often in onlytwo years, a young man or womancan get a technical degree, startworking a meaningful job thatoffers career advancement, andmake a decent living doing so. Theaverage hourly wage for manufac-turing jobs is about $24, accordingto Businessweek.com.The private sector is doing its
part to encourage manufacturingcareers. Many technical schools
and community colleges are part-nering with Snap-on Incorporatedto teach specific disciplines de-signed to give students addedskills to make them more employ-able. The company is a leadingmanufacturer of tools, equipmentand diagnostics for the transporta-tion, aviation, aerospace and man-ufacturing sectors, and has devel-oped certification programs forstudents to receive extra trainingin certain technical disciplines.The goal of the Snap-on certifi-
cations is not to teach howmachinery operates or how an air-craft flies, but rather, to show stu-dents the proper and best way touse specific tools and equipmentto become more productive intheir jobs.Most Snap-on certification
courses comprise 16 hours ofinstruction and are blended intothe school’s existing technicalcourse program. More than 100technical schools across the coun-try offer certifications as part oftheir curriculum. To facilitate thecertifications in the partneringschools, Snap-on works with theNational Coalition of CertificationCenters (NC3), an organizationthat validates and oversees thecertification assessment standards.For more information on the cer-
tification program or to see a list ofparticipating schools, visitwww1.snapon.com/Education.
Technical Training KeyTo SuccessfulManufacturing Careers
Many technical schools andcommunity colleges now teachspecific manufacturing disci-plines designed to give studentsadded skills to make them moreemployable.
(NAPSA)—According to theInternal Revenue Service, morethan 101 million income taxrefunds were issued in 2013, aver-aging $2,651 each. The averagewas a couple hundred dollarsmore for taxpayers who elected tohave their refund directlydeposited into a bank account.Averages in 2014 will likely be
similar because of tax legislationpassed in the first couple days of2013, according to TaxACTspokesperson Jessi Dolmage.“The now-permanent and
extended tax breaks will benefittaxpayers of all situations, includ-ing families, college students andhomeowners,” said Dolmage.The credits and deductions
available on federal returns dueApril 15, 2014 include:
•Child and Dependent CareCredit—The maximum amount ofchild and dependent care expenseseligible for the credit is now $3,000if you have one child or $6,000 ifyou have two or more children.These increased amounts arepermanent.•Child Tax Credit—The
credit has been made permanentat $1,000 per child under the ageof 17 at the end of 2013. Thiscredit may be claimed in additionto the Child and Dependent CareCredit.•Tuition and fees deduc-
tion—If you, your spouse or yourdependent is enrolled in a postsec-ondary institution, you may beable to deduct tuition expenses asan adjustment to income, even ifyou don’t itemize deductions. Yougenerally take this deduction ifyou don’t qualify for an educationcredit or other tax break for thesame expenses.•American Opportunity Tax
Credit—The maximum amountof this credit for the first fouryears of postsecondary educationcosts in a degree or certificate pro-gram is $2,500 per student. Costsmay include tuition, fees andcourse materials (books). If youdon’t owe any tax, you may also beeligible to receive up to 40 percentof the credit ($1,000) as a refund.•Educator expenses deduc-
tion—Elementary and secondaryeducators can deduct up to $250in related job expenses as anadjustment to income, even if notitemizing deductions. Unlike mostemployee expenses, educatorexpenses are not reduced by 2 per-cent of your adjusted grossincome.•Deduction for mortgage
insurance premiums—If youpay mortgage insurance premi-ums, also known as private mort-
gage insurance (PMI), you may beable to deduct premiums as mort-gage interest.•Alternative Minimum Tax—
The AMT was created to ensurewealthy taxpayers receiving largetax benefits pay some tax. It willnow be adjusted for inflation eachyear so fewer taxpayers are sub-ject to the tax. The exemptionamount rises in 2013 to $51,900($80,800 for married couples filingjointly). For married individualsfiling separately, the exemption is$40,400.•Adoption credit—You may
qualify for a credit equal to up to$12,970 of your adoption expensesincluding fees, court costs, attor-ney fees, traveling expense andother expenses directly related toand for the principal purpose ofthe legal adoption of an eligiblechild. If your employer providesadoption benefits, you may also beable to exclude up to the sameamount from your income. Both acredit and exclusion may beclaimed for the same adoption butnot for the same expense.•State and local sales tax
deduction—For 2013, you canstill deduct state and local salestaxes. You can take this deductionor a deduction for state incometax—but not both.As with most tax benefits, you
must meet certain criteria inorder to claim them on your taxreturn, and even if you are eligi-ble, you may not qualify for theentire amount.Online and mobile tax prepara-
tion programs make it easy to doyour own taxes and confidentlyclaim all your deductions andcredits. As you answer simplequestions, the program completesyour tax forms and checks forerrors and potential opportunities.One of the top solutions, TaxACT,even helps you plan for next yearwith guidance for the implicationsof the Affordable Care Act on yourtaxes.Learn more about these deduc-
tions and credits at www.irs.gov,and file your federal taxes free atwww.taxact.com.
MaximizeYour Next RefundWithThese Tax Deductions And Credits
According to the IRS, taxpayerswho have their refund directlydeposited generally receivelarger refunds.

(NAPSA)—Here’s a quick tip fora delicious dish: Slow cook yourmashed potatoes. Slow cookers savetime, energy and space in thekitchen. They’re particularly helpfulduring holidays, when extra stovetop and oven space are in highdemand. Slow cookers actually saveyou time because there’s no need forconstant attention or frequent stir-ring and there’s minimal cleanup.Here’s one slow-cooker mashed
Idaho® potatoes recipe that couldfast become a family favorite:
Slow-Cooked Mashed PotatoesApproximately eight cups
3 pounds Idaho® potatoes,peeled and cut into 1-inchcubes
11⁄3 cups water½ cup (1 stick) butter, divided1 teaspoon salt or to taste½ teaspoon black pepper or
to taste1 cup whole milk
Coat a 3½–4-quart slowcooker with cooking spray. Addpotatoes and pour water overpotatoes, stir, cover and cook onhigh setting 3 hours or untilpotatoes are tender. Reduceheat to low, add all but 1 table-spoon of the butter, salt andpepper. Using a potato masheror a handheld electric mixer,beat on medium speed untilpotatoes are thoroughly mashed(while potatoes are in the slowcooker). Slowly add the milkand beat until creamy; do notoverbeat or they will be stiff andhave a “gummy” texture. Placethe remaining 1 tablespoon but-ter in a small microwave bowland cook on high setting 25–30
seconds or until just melted.Drizzle evenly over potatoes.
Cooking Tips•To make sure you’re getting
potatoes grown in Idaho’s uniqueclimate—warm days, cool nights,rich volcanic soil and abundantfresh water—always look for the“Grown in Idaho” seal.•Cut potatoes in evenly shaped
cubes.•Place potatoes in cold water
and then bring to a boil.•Add a bouillon cube to the
potatoes while they are boiling.•Don’t overbeat. This can cre-
ate starchy, sticky mashed pota-toes.•Beat in herbs, seasonings,
minced vegetables or gratedcheese for added flavor and color.•For fluffier mashed potatoes,
stir in a ½ teaspoon of bakingpowder. Let sit for a few minutesbefore serving.

(NAPSA)—When your child isn’tfeeling well, your main concern isto help him or her get better.However, when it comes to children’sfevers, your first step should alwaysbe to determine whether or not yourchild actually has a fever. This cansave your child from receiving unnec-essary medication or even hospital-ization.
Fever Myth: “If your childfeels warm, she must have afever.” While he or she may feelwarm, a child’s skin temperaturevaries with exercise, excitementand sleep—making your handspoor thermometers.
Fever Fact: Use a thermome-ter, so you can get an accuratetemperature. Remember, the tem-perature for a fever depends onwhere you put the thermometer. Arectal temperature of 100.4 de-grees or higher, an oral tempera-ture of 100 degrees and above,and an armpit temperature of 99degrees all mean that your childhas a fever.
Parent EducationTo help educate caregivers
about the nature of fevers, Pedia-Care® has partnered with fatherand pediatrician Dr. David Hill,author of “Dad to Dad: Parentinglike a Pro,” to develop a series ofvideos to debunk a number ofmyths about kids and fevers.
A Safer TreatmentPediaCare® has also developed
the new Single Dose Fever Reduc-er. It’s designed to help make givingchildren medicine an easier andsafer task. It’s the only premea-sured acetaminophen available inindividual, squeezable packets,suitable for anytime dosing.The child-resistant Single Dose
packets each contain an accurate
dose for just one treatment, sothey require no additional cup orspoon and reduce the threat ofoverdosing. The packet is spe-cially designed for little mouthsand to make taking medicine lessintimidating.Each box of the product con-
tains multiple ready-to-use dosesbased on weight and age. Thisproduct is available in two sizes—a 7.5-mL packet for children36–47 lbs. or ages 4–5, and a 10-mL packet for children 48–59 lbs.or ages 6–8. Many parents areconfused as to when to give theirchild acetaminophen and dosinginstructions can be confusing.“PediaCare® Single Dose makesdosing simple and provides par-ents with peace of mind,” said Dr.Hill. “This innovative producttakes a trusted medicine andtransforms it into an easy-to-usesolution.”To view Dr. Hill’s videos, visit

Don’t LetYour Child’s Fever FoolYou
You can’t go by touch. A child’sskin temperature varies withexercise, excitement and sleep.That’s why it’s wise to use a ther-mometer when testing for a fever.
(NAPSA)—When it comes tobuying your youngster a new bike,AAA’s Rhonda Shah says it’s vitalthat you find one that’s the propersize.
How To Size A BikeYou’ll know the bike fits the
child when he or she can sit on theseat and balance the bicycle withthe balls of both feet touching theground and without leaning to oneside or the other. If the bicycleseat is in the lowest position andthe child cannot touch both feet tothe ground, the bike is too large tobe ridden safely.“If you want to give the bike as a
surprise present,” says Shah,“you’d be wise to go to the bike shopwith the child’s measurements anda tape measure in hand.”Measure the child’s inseam to
the ground. The distance from thetop of the bike’s horizontal bar (orwhere it would be on a girl’s bike)to the ground should be an inch ortwo shorter than that.
Other Safety Suggestions•Consider brake design. Chil-
dren’s bicycles typically haveeither hand brakes or coasterbrakes, which engage when pedal-ing backwards. Keep in mind thathand brakes can be dangerous foryounger children, who have smal-ler hands and less strength in thewrists.•Everyone, regardless of age
or skill level, should wear a bicy-cle helmet on every ride. Headinjuries are the leading cause ofdeath in bicycle crashes but wear-ing a properly fitted bicycle hel-
met has been shown to reduce therisk by up to 85 percent, accord-ing to the National Highway Traf-fic Safety Administration.Just as a bike must be sized
correctly, so should helmets. It’sbest to try on a helmet, but ifthat’s not possible, measurearound the recipient’s head at theforehead to determine which sizeto purchase. Make sure the hel-met meets safety standards bylooking for a sticker on the insidefrom the Snell Memorial Founda-tion, the Consumer ProductSafety Commission (CPSC),ASTM International, or theAmerican National StandardsInstitute (ANSI).•Before taking a spin on a new
bike, check that it’s put togethersecurely and that additionalsafety equipment, such as hornsor lights, have been installed cor-rectly. Wear brightly colored orreflective clothing and learn allsafety rules.•For more safe bicycling tips, go

Safe Bike Selecting And Riding
The right size bike and helmetmean more comfort and a greaterability to control and ride.
