By Rafael Nam and Subhadip Sircar
MUMBAI, Aug 1 (Reuters) - India's central bank intervened in the foreign exchange market on Thursday to stop the rupee's slide toward a record low as its defence of the currency, built around draining cash from money markets, came under rising pressure.
With the Reserve Bank of India struggling to hold the line, investors are sceptical whether the government will take swift, credible action to reduce a gaping current account deficit despite Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's assurances.
'The market wants real action,' said Param Sarma, chief executive at NSP Forex, a consultancy firm in Mumbai. 'The government and RBI want to keep rupee under control to check inflation and to ultimately reverse tightening measures so they can support growth.'
Sarma, along with many others, believes the government could opt to issue a bond aimed at drawing inflows from expatriate Indians, as the central bank has voiced its opposition to a sovereign bond issue.
The rupee has lost 11.4 percent since the start of May, and by mid-morning it was quoted at 60.54 per dollar, as RBI dollar selling brought it off a session low of 60.8325 and forestall a move back toward a July 8 record low of 61.21.
The need to shore up the economy with economic reforms is becoming more urgent given the prospect the Federal Reserve will at some point start removing its U.S. monetary stimulus, making the global investment environment even more difficult for India.
Goldman Sachs downgraded Indian equities to 'underweight' from 'market-weight' late on Wednesday, noting the RBI's liquidity tightening measures are adding to the woes of an economy that grew at a decade low of 5 percent in the last fiscal year and is showing 'no signs' of a pickup in investment demand.
A survey of the manufacturing sector released by HSBC on Thursday showed the slowdown in Indian factory activity deepened in July as order books shrank by the most in over four years.
Investors worry Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's weak, minority coalition will be prevented from taking bold action as it faces political gridlock ahead of general elections due by next year.
'Although the government has taken many policy initiatives on the infrastructure front and pushed through various reforms so far this year, markets may get worried about the potential policy paralysis ahead of the general elections,' said Goldman Sachs in its downgrade note.
'The various government policy reforms are the key to kick-start the investment cycle and unclog the structural bottlenecks at the expected pace, especially on the infrastructure front.'
Both Citigroup and Deutsche Bank have this month downgraded India's economic growth forecasts, citing in part the prospect that the RBI's measures will dampen investment.
Chidambaram said on Wednesday the government was looking into various options to attract inflows, including relaxing overseas borrowing rules and curbing some imports.
The Indian economy is stuck in a quagmire of low growth, persistent inflation, a wide current account deficit and a rapidly weakening currency, but policy measures to tackle any one of these will likely worsen the others.
By virtue of being a net importing country, a weakening currency quickly inflates India's import bill leading to higher inflation and a wider current account deficit, which in turn pressures growth and the country's foreign exchange reserves.
While holding policy rates steady on Tuesday, the RBI said it would roll back its tight liquidity strategy once the currency market stabilises, but the high short term interest rates have already forced some banks to put up lending rates, hurting prospects for investment and economic growth.
The liquidity squeeze has caused bond yields to surge. Benchmark 10-year yields are up around a half percentage point since the RBI's measures, raising the risks that borrowing costs will rise across the board.
Foreign investors have been heavy sellers of India debt, having sold almost $9 billion in bonds since late May, and a little under $2 billion in stocks since then.
The central bank has been spotted intervening since May, and as of July 19 its foreign exchange reserves stood at $279.20 billion, roughly enough to cover 7 months of import cover. Reserves have fallen from a 2013 peak of $296.37 billion, but not all of the decline is due to currency intervention.
Analysts say that ultimately reforms need to be deepened, perhaps on the scale of 1991, when a balance of payment crisis forced India to liberalise its economy.
'The real solution lies in improving the investment climate by giving a strong push to structural reforms the way it was given in 1991-92 and stimulating key exporting industries,' said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist of Bank of Baroda in Mumbai.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love the school for all its history, glory and a track record of success. My child loves there. But I completely agree with another parent who talked about crowding out effect for college search in Exeter. It's completely true and I believe an outstanding student is probably better served in a regular or magnate public school in being admitted to a college of his / her choice and abilities than in Exeter. Any prospective parent should think long and hard before being swayed by the Exeter hallow and decide if it's worth giving up the most important and enjoyable part of your child's life for something that may not be a realizable dream.
Academically rigorous but an outstanding globally ranked high school with a holistic approach to education. I would say "best of the breed" with diversity (socio-economically, 45% are on financial aid), intellectual ambitious and goodness ("knowledge without goodness is dangerous") in addition to Global exploration being at the forefront of their mission. Teachers are top ranked, students are driven and the community is embracing.
Exeter has carried its worldwide renown across the centuries because it pursues excellence, doesn't settle for second best, and produces graduates in demand by the world's finest colleges and universities. It is not going too far to say it is the finest secondary school in the world. Phillips Exeter is a tough school that challenges the top students in the country every day. If you are not clearly lapping the field at the school you're coming from, you're unlikely to be admitted. If you secure admission, you're in for one of the most enriching, demanding, interesting years of your life. Exeter's brand is recognizable across the nation. The Exeter alumni network crawls with worldwide leaders across all fields of human endeavor.
I totally agree with 2 reviews in year 2012. It's a great school with mostly great teachers and students. But college office isn't helpful at all, maybe hurtful. You dont know what's in play. My child enjoyed the school very much till college application, which ruined out impression about the school
Postscript to previous review: I rated the school four stars because it IS a great school. We loved it, as did my child. The ONLY distasteful and very disappointing part was the College Office. My child ended up at a very good school, but ONLY because we wised up and got involved with helping our child directly WITHOUT the involvement of the college office. If we had not, our child would have ended up at a second rate school, as they seemed to keep saying it was "ok" (to fail). Clearly, our child was, in fact, capable of getting into the school of choice, but only once we disconnected from their destructive negativity. One important example of their failings: Around the time our child was at PEA, a class VALEDICTORIAN failed to get into either Harvard or Yale. He ended up at a smaller, less selective Ivy. Not his first choice, and clearly NOT a reflection of his capabilities. He had a perfect GPA. The talk around campus? That the College Office destroyed him. Enough said. My hope is that PEA reads this and finally, acts in a way to protect the aspirations and dreams of ALL of their students.
Parents should think carefully before sending their child to PEA. The school has an excellent reputation but it is unclear to me as a parent that PEA does a better job of preparing kids for college or for helping them in the process of applying to college. Most of the kids in my child' graduating class were not happy with their college choices and would have had better choices coming from their local schools. PEA does not help with the college process and may hinder your child's options. The academic environment is very rigorous and that appeals to parents (including me) but may be excessive for most 14-18 year olds. Though my child has done well since PEA, he did so despite PEA and I regret sending my child there. I can only hope that potential parents will pause longer than i did before committing their child to the school. You will loose these years with your child and it is not clear that they or you will benefit.
Exeter was the best school experience I could have ever asked for. It was extremely challenging yet equally rewarding.
Exeter is the finest secondary school in the United States by almost every measure. I would not recommend it for every student however. It is not a "touchy feely" academic environment. Be prepared to work very hard as it is widely considered to have the most rigorous core curriculum of any secondary school. As previous reviewers have mentioned, college work will be quite easy by comparison. I attended the University of Chicago after graduating from PEA and was grossly over prepared for undergrad. My eldest children graduated from the academy in recent years and are both very proud Exonians. It is worth noting that if you are not VERY socially liberal you will find few likeminded individuals at the Academy. Cultural relativity is preached with fanaticism and any deviation from that is strictly verboten. The advisor for the Republican club (a libertarian) was recently banned from Exeter's campus for extremely fallacious reasons so be prepared to battle an extremely liberal faculty and administration. If your family/children have moderate views or deviate in any way from leftist ideology be prepared to be a "Harkness Warrior" if fortunate enough to be accepted.
Exeter provided me a great foundation for my undergraduate, graduate and business pursuits. Since joining the working world, I often find myself referencing back to lessons learned at Exeter around the Harkness table.
I consider Exeter to be the greatest decision I have ever made. I graduated in 2007 after 4 years and have missed it ever since. The academics are certainly rigorous, as is the 6 day schedule, but it really brings everyone together and creates a community that is unbeatable. I felt as though I matured not only academically, but as a person as well. The Harkness method forces all students to be engaged, and to be confident and articulate in expressing their point of view. While faculty and advisors are always caring and available, they are not overbearing, leaving the student to manage his own time and priorities. The confidence and maturity built at Exeter are qualities which will carry you through life. I cannot stress enough how amazing the Exeter experience was overall, and how much I would recommend it to any gifted student!
The best choice I have ever made in my short life was to come to Exeter. Faculty is college level but yet still very involved with the students. This school is not for the faint of heart though. Also I wouldn't recomend it for the perfectionists, because you can't do everything at Exeter and you will have a breakdown if you try. You can't get all A's either. It actually teaches you to look at the bigger picture and make choices. Exeter will over prepare for college too, to a point where college is like a walk in the park compared to Exeter.
PEA is simply the finest private boarding school in the country. Four years at Exeter prepared me for all aspects of my future education. After Exeter, college and law school were a walk in the park (academically speaking). The campus and facilities put most colleges to shame.
Exeter is a fine institution. This being said its not for the faint of heart. Shirt and Tie dress code and Saturday classes are two examples of this. Students who know they will pursue English, Mathematics or Science in college will find themselves quite well prepared. Do not attend Exeter if you wish to pursue Computer Science or have any interest in networking. The IT department is more inept and corrupt than any outsider would think. The principal spends more of his time with alumni seeking contributions than he does worrying about the students. No one student is important to Exeter. Since they have so many kids applying they feel and act as though you can be easily replaced.
This is an excellent school with high acaedemics. Any one ready for acedemic challanges as well as in sports should apply to this school. One of the best high schools in the nation.
My son is a Lower (2nd yr) at PEA. I cannot begin to elaborate upon his experiences and the excellence of an Exeter education. Although challenging and fast paced, support is in place to get students through any bumps. This fosters confidence building and leadership. There are no limits to the opportunities at Exeter. If you want to play a particular instrument, they will find an instructor. If your child wants to start a new club (there are already 100+ clubs), advisers will help get one started. There is an opportunity for every kid to shine. Exeter is about more than superior academics, sports and activities. It's a small society where people care about each other, their community, and the world. The Exeter experience extends beyond the campus and into one's family. ~~Go Big Red!~~
My daughter graduated from PEA and my son is curently completing his prep year there. This is an outstanding school that provides a challenging, comprehensive academic program along with strong arts and athletic opportunities and a wonderful network of social/emotional support. My daughter flourished in this environment and cherishes her four years at the academy. The quality of the faculty, staff and facilities in unsurpassed.
I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, and although this is a parent rating, I believe it is extremely important that you hear a student's perspective. I had great times along with challenging ones while I was at Exeter ('00-'04). Academically, there is no school like Exeter. All classes are discussion based and average around 13 students per class. The simple fact that students come from all areas of the world, broaden horizons more than the cliche could ever explain. I made life long friendships, both with faculty and with the students. In fact, now that I am graduated, I often think about how great it was to live there. I consider myself very fortunate. And if finances are an issue, I attended the school on financial aid that was very generous. I could write a book about the pros and cons of this school, but it is the best.
P.E.A. is by far the best school in the country. This prestigious prep/boarding school accepts only the best. Boarding students come from 43 states and over 40 countries. Phillips Exeter Academy will provide your overly talented student an education unmatched anywhere. When students graduate going to colleges like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, everyone knows that it is by far uncommon. Philips Exeter Academy is truely the Harvard University of secondary schools. Athletics are very strong and very important. You have to visit the campus. An absolute must see. Trust me, if your child is academically talented and scores in the 93rd percentile on the SSAT, ISEE, PSAT, and/or the SAT1, enroll him/her today!

I am amazed at this little lights performance. For years I carried the big, heavy machined aluminum lights camping, fishing and into the woods on early morning hunting trips. No more. This little light out performs them by far and 1/10th the weight. For a guy of my maturity, that leaves pack space for more food. I will recommend this light to my friends. It travels with me every day. Fish

Worth the $50. Small size to fit in pocket, etc, but powerful enough to light up a dark corner at 40 yards. Also, needs only one CR123 battery. I've purchased many flashlights through the years. This will probably be the last one.

(WASHINGTON) - The American Society of Hematology (ASH) will present the 2011 Wallace H. Coulter Award for Lifetime Achievement in Hematology, the Society's highest honor, to David G. Nathan, MD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital Boston for his remarkable career combining outstanding teaching, pioneering research, and excellence in clinical care. Beyond Dr. Nathan's lasting influence on his trainees and patients, his research on the inherited disorders of red cells and granulocytes, particularly thalassemia, has had a profound impact on the field of hematology.
Throughout the course of his nearly 50-year career, Dr. Nathan, the President Emeritus of Dana-Farber, as well as the Robert A. Stranahan Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, has made numerous advances in medicine, including his team's development of the first prenatal diagnostic test for thalassemia and sickle cell anemia and the introduction of hydroxyurea (HU) for the amelioration of sickle cell anemia. In collaboration with his trainees, Dr. Nathan also developed the first successful treatment for iron overload, subcutaneous deferoxamine, for thalassemia patients undergoing chronic transfusion therapy. In addition to his research achievements Dr. Nathan has trained, supported, and mentored more than 100 hematologists, many of whom currently hold leadership positions in internal medicine and pediatrics.
"We are pleased to honor Dr. Nathan with this prestigious award for the depth and breadth of his contributions to hematology and his incredible commitment to mentorship, training, research, and clinical care," said ASH President J. Evan Sadler, MD, PhD, of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "During his distinguished career, Dr. Nathan has made important discoveries in thalassemia and other blood disorders, led two major academic institutions, promoted translational research in hematology, and trained an impressive number of the most outstanding hematologists and oncologists in the country."
Dr. Nathan began his career after graduating from Harvard College in 1951 and from Harvard Medical School in 1955. He completed an internship and residency at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now Brigham and Women's Hospital) and was a clinical associate at the National Cancer Institute. From 1959 to 1966, Dr. Nathan was a hematologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and then became chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Children's Hospital Boston and Dana-Farber.

The Sonicare for Kids does an excellent job of cleaning teeth and making brushing fun for kids. With a two-minute interval timer, the toothbrush also teaches kids how to brush for the proper amount of time. The soft, kid-size bristles and the gradual increase in brushing time and intensity add to its ease of use. While it isn't as durable as other adult-size toothbrushes, there is nothing on the market quite like it that is designed for kids. For this reason, we chose the Philips Sonicare for Kids as a Best Reviewed product.
Kids look forward to using this toothbrush. In a 2012 study, published in Pediatric Dentistry, the Sonicare for Kids was shown to be significantly more effective at removing plaque than a manual children's toothbrush. Users at Amazon.com say that it does an excellent job of cleaning teeth.
The Philips Sonicare for Kids uses rapid side-to-side vibrations to clean teeth. It has a slow start feature designed to acclimate kids to power brushing. The toothbrush, at maximum settings, produces up to 31,000 brush strokes per minute. It has two brushing modes: low mode (gentler) for children ages 4 and up and high mode (more powerful) for ages 7 and up.
Owners say their kids are more excited about brushing with this toothbrush than with other models. The toothbrush is loaded with kid-friendly features like a colorful base with interchangeable panels and musical tones that make brushing fun. Users say the toothbrush is quieter than full-size models and has soft bristles that are gentle on young teeth.
Keep your receipt. Like other Sonicare models, the Sonicare for Kids loses points for durability. Several owners at Amazon.com say the unit stopped working properly after just a few months. One user suggests using a regular adult-size Sonicare toothbrush instead because they are more durable. He says, "We've gone through two of these so far and the second one just stopped working." The toothbrush comes with a two-year warranty, and most reviewers say the company honors it willingly and has great customer service.
Kid-friendly. The Sonicare for Kids is loaded with features that make it easy and fun to use. One owner at Walmart.com says, "This is the first tooth brush my daughter really seems to enjoy using." The toothbrush has a two-minute timer that chimes musical tones at 30-second intervals to alert children to move to a different area of the mouth. It also has a slow start feature which gradually increases brushing time and intensity to acclimate young kids to power brushing.
The toothbrush has smaller brush heads that are made to fit comfortably in children's mouths. It comes with two brush heads: a smaller one designed for children ages 4 to 6, and a larger one for children ages 7 and up. Some users, however, say it's heavy and cumbersome for small hands. Others say the nonslip grip of the handle is easy to hold for all ages. Note: Manufacturers recommend that parents perform the tooth brushing for children under the age of 8.

Review Credibility: Very Good This study compared the efficacy of the Philips Sonicare for Kids to an Oral-B manual toothbrush for kids. Sixty-eight children, ages 4 to 7, participated in the study.

Review Credibility: Fair In this video review, Rachelle from The411Mommas describes the features of the Philips Sonicare for Kids. She states that she hasn't used the toothbrush long enough to know long-term pros and cons -- like durability -- but she is pleased with the brush overall. She says the toothbrush is quiet and fun for kids to use. She compares it briefly to a Colgate battery-operated toothbrush and says the Sonicare is better-suited for kids because of its size. She also likes the soft bristles, which are gentle on gums.

The exponential rise in the use of drone technology in a variety of military and non-military contexts represents a real challenge to the framework of established international law and it is both right as a matter of principle, and inevitable as a matter of political reality, that the international community should now be focussing attention on the standards applicable to this technological development, particularly its deployment in counterterrorism and counter-insurgency initiatives, and attempt to reach a consensus on the legality of its use, and the standards and safeguards which should apply to it.
The use of drone strikes by the US has come under scrutiny in recent months. Earlier this month Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Minister Hina Rabbani Khar condemned US drone attacks [JURIST report] as a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and international law. Last month the Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss [JURIST report] a lawsuit challenging the US government's targeted killing of three US citizens in drone strikes. In July Pakistan's Ambassador to the US called upon the US to end the practice [JURIST report] of using drone strikes in targeted killings. That same month US lawmakers expressed concern [JURIST report] over the use of drone strikes. JURIST Guest Columnist Samar Warsi of the Muslim Civil Liberties Union recently argued that Obama administration's drone policy sets a dangerous precedent [JURIST comment] and undermines national security.

Lake County 'historical treasures' sent to state depository
By Beth Kramer email@example.com January 24, 2013 7:22PM
Rebecca Cook of Beach Park and Lake County Circuit Court Clerk Keith Brin of Highland Park look over naturalization documents from the 1800s which will be given to the Illinois State Archives for recording. | Thomas Delany Jr.~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:23AM
A "treasure trove" of Lake County historical documents dating back to the 1840s was transferred to Illinois State Archives on Thursday. Hundreds of U.S. naturalizations documents have been tucked in the county's Clerk of the Circuit Court's storage room. The handwritten documents have photos with original signatures of immigrants who underwent the process to become U.S. citizens. "These are historical treasures. These (documents) are wonderful and in good condition," said Court Clerk Keith Brin.
ISA will catalogue the records and transfer them to microfilm. The process will take several months, Moore said. When they are finished, Lake County will get a copy of the microfilm.
"This will give us the opportunity to make these records widely available," said Brin. The Circuit Clerk's Office has held onto these documents for more than a century. They sat in storage, collecting (minimal) dust until the circuit court's staff was able to find the right agency to transfer the documents, Brin said. The process started with his predecessor Sally Coffelt, the clerk of the court before Brin was elected in November. The clerk's office unsuccessfully tried to get a hold of the federal government because naturalization is a federal process. Brin's office had estimates that it would cost about $30,000 to put the naturalization documents on microfilm to preserve them. Microfilm is considered the "gold standard" of document storage because it lasts for 500 years, Moore said. Lake County's documents are handwritten and some of the binders are falling apart. "We're not the people to handle fragile documents. My chief deputy found the contacts at Illinois State Archives," said Brin. ISA does not charge for putting the documents onto microfilm. The original documents will go to Illinois Regional Archives Depository System at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb as the final resting place once the microfilming process is complete, Heflin said. "They are in remarkably good shape for their age," said Heflin of Lake County's documents. "Naturalization are my one of my favorite types of records. They are wonderful genealogical references. They can be invaluable to family researchers, especially the photos." County courts used to handle the naturalization process, Heflin said. The naturalization process includes a formal declaration of intent, a five-year residency requirement and then a certificate of citizenship. Many of these declarations and certificates are among the documents ISA took into custody. Local courts were phased out of the naturalization process in the mid-1960s, after the federal government took over, Heflin said.

Re: Monday Night.Hook and Dareal, you are both on point! It makes me sick to my stomach to see Deangelo and Stewart's stats because they are a direct result of that zone read bullshit! They have to stand still, and wait to see if Cam is going to give them the ball or not! By that time three defenders are already draped all over them! The fact that Chud still runs that crap after its massive failures, coupled with the fact that Rivera allows him to is enough for both of them to be fired!! |

PARKERSBURG - Officials are investigating a single-vehicle accident involving a fatality Sunday morning in Wood County.
Wood County Chief Deputy Shawn Graham said the accident occurred about 9:55 a.m. Sunday on West Virginia 47 just east of Atkinson Ridge Road.
David Weekley, 44, of Parkersburg, was traveling west on W.Va. 47 when witnesses reported he suddenly ran off the right side of the roadway, struck an embankment and continued along the ditchline for several hundred feet before coming to rest, Graham said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was being sent to the West Virginia State Medical Examiner's office for autopsy, Graham said.
Weekley's 1999 Chevrolet Silverado was listed as a total loss.
The incident is being investigated by the Wood County Crash Team, which includes investigators from the Wood County Sheriff's Office, West Virginia State Police and the Parkersburg Police Department.

New details uncovered by the Dayton Daily News show that the operators of the racino under construction in Warren County are projected to get a $3.6 million sales tax break on construction materials by leasing the $175 million racetrack and gambling complex from Warren County.
"Miami Valley Gaming sought economic assistance as a result of the more competitive environment that will be created by the relocation of another gaming and racing venue to the region, " spokeswoman Amanda Wurst said in a prepared statement Wednesday.
The racino moving into the region is the one planned in Dayton by Penn National, Wurst said. The Dayton racino, moved from Toledo, has sought no incentives from Dayton or Montgomery County, according to local officials.
Despite the tax break, local governments and schools will receive some additional property tax revenue from the project.
Warren County also plans to set aside almost $16.3 million of property taxes for road and other infrastructure improvements around the racino, according to county projections.
"As Miami Valley Gaming & Racing makes a direct investment of $175 million in the southwest Ohio economy, including the creation of 1,000 construction jobs and 700 permanent jobs, this partnership with local officials will help ensure the project's overall success and job creation potential. Miami Valley Gaming & Racing wants to ensure that additional property taxes generated by its investment stay local and are invested in local roadways, increased economic development, and schools in the communities along Warren County's I-75 corridor," Wurst said.
The incentives are established through leases and other legal documents, part of a web of agreements designed to help ensure the racino's success, said Martin Russell, economic development director for Warren County.
"Their success is important to our success," he said.
Miami Valley Gaming also is expected to pay the port authority $800,000 that can be used in other economic development projects and $937,000 to the Ohio Department of Transportation for road improvements around the racino entrance on Ohio 63.
Already contractors have begun work on the 120-acre racino site at Union Road and Ohio 63 in Turtlecreek Twp., set to open in the first half of 2014. Penn National also has expressed hope the Dayton racino could open next year, but faces obstacles. The Scioto Downs racino is open outside Columbus. Next month, a racino is to open at Thistledown near Cleveland.
The Warren County racino is to feature an 188,000 square foot building for concessions and gambling, including 1,800 video lottery terminals; a 5/8-mile track, 28,000 square foot grandstand and 51,000 square foot barn and support structure; and a 3,000 space parking lot.
Miami Valley Gaming has estimated its total investment at $225 million: $50 million on state licenses, $175 million on the facility, including $65 million for furniture, fixtures and equipment, including the gambling machines.
Previously no property tax revenue was derived from the land, owned by the state of Ohio until a sale, closed in late December, to a holding company, Warren General Property, for $4.5 million, according to county records.
As part of the property tax deal, the Lebanon City Schools, Turtlecreek Twp., Warren County and its joint vocational school district are expected to collect about $5.4 million over 10 years - 25 percent of property tax on improvements.
The other 75 percent, valued at an estimated $16.3 million, will be set aside for road and other infrastructure. The complex will be located east of the Interstate 75 interchange at Ohio 63, near the Cincinnati Premium Outlets and the Trader's World flea market.
By capping the portion diverted for tax incremental financing at 75 percent, the county avoided the need for approval by the Lebanon school district. After 10 years, all the property taxes will go to the school districts and local governments.
Miami Valley Gaming is expected to pay the Warren County Port Authority $800,000 as part of lease agreements leaving the port authority as the owner of the racino buildings for 10 years.
"It also allows the port authority to generate fees it can turn around and put back into future projects," Russell said.
For example, the port authority could form a revolving loan fund for small businesses interested in moving to or expanding in Warren County, Russell said.
Without the exemption, the county would have collected about $550,000 in sales tax, with the state of Ohio collecting more than $3 million in tax, on the building materials, according to county estimates. While losing the sales tax, the state is to be paid $50 million for the racino licenses, Russell noted.
Miami Valley Gaming estimated the sales tax break at only $2.4 million, based on expectations that less of the materials purchased would qualify for the exemption, officials said.
This week, Miami Valley Gaming and the port authority are expected to sign land and project leases enabling the sales tax exemption. Miami Valley Gaming is also expected to pay legal fees and other expenses from the negotiations. The leases also leave open for Miami Valley Gaming the opportunity to build a hotel at the racino site, Russell said.
Still to be negotiated is division of funds from the tax incremental financing district setting aside property taxes from the inprovements for projects at the site.
Also, the city of Monroe and Turtlecreek Twp. are expected to form a joint economic development district to tax racinos workers.
