He Lost His Only Daughter Due to ECA
by Manic Lawyer, Wed Apr 30, 2008 at 08:43:38 AM EDT
Cross-posted at Pam's House Blend.
What is color-aroused emotion, ideation and behavior and how can you tell whether it is benign, mild, moderate or severe? The following story, recounted to me this morning here in Bahia, Brazil, illustrates both what the illness is and how to determine its level of severity with specificity.
I have a friend named Bruna, a white-skinned Brazilian woman who is recounting the following story, about a close friend of hers, and I am translating and typing it up now, as she speaks. Bruna says,
I have a friend named "Monica" whose skin is very white, and she has long blond hair and green eyes. She and I prepared for the college entrance exams together, and her case stands out as the most drastic case of color-aroused hatred that I have ever witnessed:
Monica's mother and father were divorced and Monica lived with her father. She was an only child. When Monica was in high school, she was secretly in love with a classmate, "João", who was also in love with her. However, Monica's father was very color-aroused. Monica's father constantly told Monica, "Never date a Black! Never fall in love with a Black!" Her father was stern and severe.
Little did he know that his daughter already was secretly in love with a Black. In the private school they attended, Monica looked secretly toward João, and he glanced back surreptitiously at her. Whenever João was not in class, Monica copied and passed her notes to João, as well as informing him of the homework that was assigned. João asked Monica to go out with him and she was dying of desire to do so.

Czech Republic-based moving light manufacturer Robe Show Lighting has appointed a major new distributor in South Africa; signed a deal with Media Face in Japan; and announced the re-confirmation of an exclusive deal with ART-TECH in Korea.
Representing Robe in South Africa, T&A Lighting is the lighting division of Prosound, South Africa's leading supplier of design and build services to the presentation technology industry. In just a few years, the Johannesburg-based company has grown to be a major force in the design, supply and installation of specialized lighting systems across Southern Africa. During 2002 and 2003, T&A Lighting has installed systems into most of the country's newly built and revamped television studios.
T&A Lighting visited Robe at PLASA 2003, where MD Ian Blair was convinced that Robe products were the right ones to make significant impact on the local market in terms of affordability and cutting-edge technology. "Such good quality and affordable products with so many features and specifications have never been seen before in South Africa" he declared, adding, "I believe we have a winner here!"
Robe's International Sales Manager Harry von den Stemmen comments, "South Africa with its democracy, Western banking system, stable currency, and good market potential is a gateway to the continent of Africa. With the T&A Lighting deal in place, we're are making our first and most important step into Africa." T&A's distribution infrastructure respects and incorporates Robe's previous sales channels in South Africa, and now offers the additional benefits of service and maintenance of Robe products throughout South Africa and its neighboring territories.
Media Face, a Tokyo-based company, is the new Robe Show Lighting distributor for Japan, considered a high profile market with a penchant for technology and plenty of potential for the Robe brand. Media Face has good contacts and wide experience, spanning all areas of professional lighting - from live events and large installations to the wedding hall and hospitality business.
Media Face was also looking for a top-quality moving head to distribute, and the Robe offer came to the table at exactly the right time. Established in 1992, Media Face has many high profile projects to its name, and supplies moving heads to Japan's major rental companies. They have a full technical department and a team of technicians on hand to offer the best levels of customer service and support.
Harry von den Stemmen says, "The importance of the Japanese market demanded a key player to establish our product there, and Media Face is that company. Their contacts on the rental and production scene are instrumental for the introduction of Robe's AT series, and the wedding market also has a good potential. With Media Face on board, I'm very confident that we will establish and position Robe brand as a very good choice in Japan".
In Korea, Robe has reconfirmed its exclusive distribution deal with Seoul-based ART-TECH in Korea, cementing the agreement originally set up in 2003 The re-conformation of the ART-TECH deal puts a strong team in place to capitalize on the large market share Robe has already established in Korea.
ART-TECH is headed by Mr Dae-In Yoon, a renowned club and discotheque lighting designer, and the company is very well known and successful as a supplier to the buoyant Korean club market. Large clubs – with capacities of 3000 to 4000 people - are common throughout South Korea, so the high-powered fixture end of the market is expected to be a major seller for Robe. It's therefore an ideal market for the Robe ColorSpot 1200, and the brand new ColorSpot 575 AT. Wash 1200, due for launch in early 2004.
Harry von den Stemmen comments, "We are very excited about the potential of Korea. The exclusive deal with ART-TECH will allow them to focus on promoting our products in all areas."

Hot waste still on hold in Oak Ridge
According to EnergX exec Tony Buhl, the Transuranic Waste Processing Center in Oak Ridge has processed and packaged about 15 cubic meters of remote-handled transuranic waste and is awaiting approval to send it to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.
Buhl said reviews have been completed and that Oak Ridge officials are waiting on a shipping schedule from DOE's Carlsbad Office. "It's going to be in the next month," he said Wednesday. "I'm quite confident of that."
EnergX is operating contractor at the DOE waste facility. The RH TRU waste is the hottest stuff in the Oak Ridge waste portfolio.
It's not clear whether "in the next month" will satisfy regulators for shipping RH waste to WIPP, although there's been some leniency in the past because of the technical difficulties of processing the radioactive materials and access limitations at the disposal site in New Mexico.
John Owsley, the Oak Ridge oversight chief for the Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation, said the enforceable milestone for initiating shipments of remote-handled wastes is Feb. 28. The shipping date has already been extended at least once before.
The February date is enforceable, and DOE's Oak Ridge operations would be subject to fines and penalties if the first shipment doesn't occur by the end of this month, Owsley said.
However, he said DOE has given the state no indication that it won't be able to meet the latest deadline.
Owsley acknowledged that if "technical reasons" arise to stall the waste shipments, the state likely would consider another extension.
In addition to the milestone for first shipment, there is an enforceable milestone that requires the processing of 35 cubic meters of remote-handled waste by April 30, Owsley said.

PEKIN, Ill. -- The line was out the door during the lunch hour Wednesday at the Tazewell County Clerk's Office.
People were waiting patiently to vote almost two weeks before election day.
"We're going to be taking my mother and step-father to South Carolina," said Alan Garrison, explaining why he and his wife were voting early. "They're going to be spending the winter there. We would get back the day of the voting or the day before and we decided we didn't want to take a chance and miss our chance to vote."
There are almost as many reasons for voting early as there are early voters. And with only one location to cast an early ballot in Tazewell County, the supervisor of elections there reports a steady stream of traffic.
"We've been very busy," said Moira Hartley. "We had 168 on Monday, 286 on Tuesday and 68 by 10:15 this morning."
They've also fielded calls from voters requesting additional locations for early voting in future elections. The Tazewell County Clerk's Office plans to look into that possibility.
Meanwhile, Peoria County has more than a dozen early voting locations and boasts one of the highest early voting participation rates in the state.
"We have 54,000 registered voters and four years ago, in the last presidential race, we had 25 percent of those voters cast their ballots early," said Peoria County Clerk Steve Sonnemaker.
During the first two days of early voting this time around, 1,400 ballots had already been cast and 1,300 more people had voted absentee.
But Sonnemaker says there will always be people who insist on waiting until election day.
"Maybe they haven't totally made up their minds whatever the reason may be. We certainly will be at all of our precincts ready to serve the public on election day."
The last day for early voting is November 3, the Saturday before election day.

CAPITOL HILL -- Illinois U.S. Senator Dick Durbin is applauding the decision by CVS drug stores to stop selling tobacco products.
Parent company CVS Caremark announced Wednesday it would pull all tobacco off its shelves, because it goes against their promotion of healthy living.
Senator Durbin is hopeful other stores will follow CVS's lead.
"I can tell you with health care reform, more people buying prescriptions than ever. So I think with drug stores showing up on every corner in America are going to have plenty of business. And I think people are going to favor those drug stores that really do focus on health and show it with their merchandising of products that don't harm the customer, like tobacco," said Senator Dick Durbin, (D) IL.
CVS said it will have tobacco out of its store by October.

|Question: Can we govern ourselves?
By Byron McNutt
ON SUNDAY, OCT. 13, there was a demonstration in Washington, D.C., billed as the Million Vet March. Maybe we need more of those events, but with 5 million of our veterans marching to the Capitol and the White House to demand a cease fire to the dysfunction of partisan politics.
Americans are disgusted with the acrimony in government. What better way to get the message across to this Congress and White House than to have 5 million of our most admired and respected citizens, our revered military heroes, descend en masse on the streets and in the hallways of the government.Our country has changed so dramatically in the last 30 years that many

Danbury Schools Superintendent Sal Pascarella alerted parents Tuesday night that each school will have security patrols this week. Security will check both inside and outside the schools.
In addition to that, Danbury Police will make random patrols.
The Board of Education will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday at Broadview Middle School for a district-wide discussion of public safety. Parents are urged to attend and participate.
Since the Dec. 14 shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Danbury police have been at all Danbury schools. Both the Board of Education and city officials will attend the Thursday evening meeting to speak and answer questions from the public.

7/27/14 - Battle of the Pedals
2/5/14 - KX 93.5 Presents Pearl Street Sessions Feat. Zach Churchill
First of all, I need to thank everyone who made it out to the Coach House Concert Hall last night to share an amazing experience with us as we took part in the Orange County Music Awards best live band showcase. It was an awesome night with an incredible turn out, and here is what OC Weekly had to say about our performance:
"Up first in the showcase series was newcomer Zach Churchill. The Laguna Beach local opened with an acoustic mash up of Bill Wither's "Ain't No Sunshine" and James Brown's "It's A Man's Man's World." The rendition quickly got the crowd's attention, and the band followed up with original material that showcased Churchill's ease with lyrics and his upper register. The band nabbed originality points for their lack of one traditional drummer, opting instead for a two-drummer approach that featured one on a cajon and the other on a conga."
Secondly, TOMORROW NIGHT I will be performing at the Laguna Beach Wine Gallery for KX 93.5's Pearl Street Sessions. Every first Thursday of the month, which is Art Walk night in Laguna Beach, KX 93.5 features a musician and broadcasts their live performance at the Wine Gallery. The Wine Gallery is located directly beneath the KX 93.5 studios off Pearl St. and PCH. I will begin at 6 pm and there will be complimentary wine upstairs at the radio station and great happy hour deals downstairs at the Wine Gallery. Come hang out and support a truly incredible radio station dedicated to covering the unique artistic community that is Laguna Beach!
2/2/14 - OC Register, OC Concert Guide, OC Music Awards
Special thanks to Kelli Fadroski of the OC Register for an awesome write-up on my participation in the OC Music Awards!
I also had a chat with OC Concert Guide:
"Zach Churchill is a local OC artist from Laguna Beach and will be showcasing his local talent at the Coach House on Feb. 4 for the week five of the OC Music Awards. Making his local mark in the area playing shows all over Orange County and regular appearances on Laguna Beach's KX 93.5 local radio station, he is definitely in the running as a local favorite in the live band category.
With a strong passion for his original music Zach has a diverse style that is sure to catch your attention. Zach's music is a mixture of blues-rock, with a hint of jazz. His smooth and charming vocals on top of his progressive style is sure to please the listener's ear.
OC Concert Guide met up with Churchill to hear about his latest adventures in Europe and what goes into his music.
OCCG: You will be playing for this year's OCMA's showcase competing for best live band. How will you be preparing for the show?
ZC: I actually just got through with a rehearsal at Stage One Studios in Lake Forest with my bandmates. We are preparing by running through songs off of my most recent release, an EP entitled Something Else, as well as a brand new song that will be performed live for the first time on Tuesday at the showcase.
OCCG: What are your hobbies other than music? Do you have a day job?
ZC: Right now, I am a full time student at CSUF studying music education with a choral emphasis, and my "night job" is gigging at restaurants/wine bars/etc. in South Orange County. I perform regularly at some great places and that's where many songs and fans are born! You can see where I'll be playing week to week at WWW.ZACHCHURCHILLMUSIC.COM/SHOWS. I used to bartend/serve for many years but had to turn down so many gigs that eventually I had to make the leap and transition into a full time musician.
OCCG: What has been your weirdest song request?
ZC: "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry.
OCCG: What are shows like over sea compared to US?
ZC: In Europe, even the bartenders are completely into your set, singing along and clapping in between songs. You definitely feel a bit more appreciated in general, and I still am in touch with many listeners I met at my shows so I can't wait to go back.
OCCG: What is your wine preference?
ZC: Speaking of Europe…. I had some amazing wine tasting experiences in the Loire Valley of France! With wine, it definitely depends on what I'm eating, but for red I love La Crema Pinot Noir, and for white I love a dry Sauvignon Blanc.
OCCG: Any local places in Laguna that are worth checking out that are not widely known?
ZC: Well, if you don't already tune in to KX 93.5, their local FM station, check them out and stream live online… I'll be performing on Thursday, February 6th right after the Coach House show for their "Pearl Street Sessions" and it will be aired live. Also, Tablerock Beach!
OCCG: What makes your music different and unique?
ZC: Probably the fact that my major influences are from completely different genres, styles, and eras. I identify as a singer/songwriter, but am inspired by all kinds of music.
OCCG: How do you create a following?
ZC: Time. And always have an email list at every gig… I used to give out my card but cards get thrown away. You need to be responsible for getting in touch with your listeners.
OCCG: How active are you with involving your fans with your music?
ZC: I let them know where I am playing on a weekly basis via email blast, and I am constantly sharing new material, videos, and am always open to suggestions."
I can't wait for Tuesday night at the Coach House Concert Hall.. Hope to see you all there!!!!

''The Night the Ghost Got In'' is a fictionalized account of life in the Thurber household while its author, James Thurber, was growing up. Early on, Thurber gives the exact date when the events related in the story take place: November 17, 1915. The story begins with a short introductory paragraph that prepares readers for the more colorful events that will unfold in the pages to come—his mother throwing a shoe through a window, his grandfather shooting a policeman—and then goes right into the events of that night.
It starts with the narrator, James Thurber, coming out of a bath at 1:15 in the morning and hearing a noise downstairs in the dining room. It sounds to him like footsteps, like someone walking quickly around the dining room table. He assumes that it is his father or older brother, just home from a trip, but after a few minutes have passed and the walking has not stopped, he goes to wake his brother Herman. Wakened suddenly, Herman is frightened when he is told that there is someone downstairs, although the story never does indicate whether he hears the same sound the narrator does. He goes back to bed, slamming the door. The noise downstairs is gone, and, Thurber explains, ''None of us ever heard the ghost again.'' However, the slamming door brings their mother out into the hall.
The mother asks about all of the footsteps she has heard and then comes to the conclusion that there are burglars downstairs. Because the telephone is downstairs where she thinks the burglars are, she devises a scheme to contact the police: She throws a shoe through the window of the house next door, which is close to the Thurber house, waking Mr. and Mrs. Bodwell, who live there. At first, Mr. Bodwell thinks that she is telling him that there are burglars in his own house, but after a momentary confusion he calls the police and tells them to go to the Thurber house.
The arrival of the police blows the whole event out of proportion. Their group includes ''a Ford sedan full of them, two on motorcycles, and a patrol wagon with about eight of them in it and a few reporters.'' They call out for the front door to be opened, and when no one in the house goes downstairs, they break it in. They go upstairs to find the narrator, still not dressed after his bath, and the mother insisting that there were burglars in the house, even...

A cool story about MODx and Wordpress
I just read a very interesting post at Toad Blog that compares MODx and Wordpress. I enjoyed this particular passage a little bit extra:
Ryan Thrash told me a story this week about an ad firm that used MODx, and then tried to re-do their website in WP 3.0.1. They started and immediately had to develop custom widgets and plugins to accomplish what they'd planned. Two weeks into development, they realized that if they kept with the WP platform, they would not make deadline. They started over with MODx and were able to roll out the site in 18 hours.
A rollout in 18 hours. Talk about agile development! :)

With supposed closer Matt Thornton blowing two saves already, Ozzie Guillen's heading in a different, significantly more interesting direction. Kevin Allen (via ESPNChicago.com):
Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen spoke at length about his bullpen before Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He refused to back away from comments he made after Saturday's 4-2 win at U.S. Cellular Field that he would be using a closer-by-committee approach moving forward.
"I've got three or four guys who can close," Guillen said. "I got [Jesse] Crain, [Chris] Sale, [Sergio] Santos and Thornton that can close the end of the game. Don't be surprised if you see one of those guys. We'll do that because someone needs the rest or we like the matchup better. There's a lot of things going through our minds about who's going to be pitching the ninth."
These sorts of arrangements, so often discussed, are rarely actually deployed, and when deployed they very rarely last for more than a week or two (if that). The pitchers don't really care for the arrangement, because they prefer to know the exact situations in which they'll be pitching. And the managers wind up not caring for the arrangement, because they have to think a lot harder and answer a lot more annoying questions after close losses.
Still, I admire Guillen for at least considering the possibility. And if anyone can make it work, it might be Guillen because he's a creative guy and he does have some big arms in his bullpen.

A more useful or appropriate answer would be, almost every marathon (Channel) swimmer that I know makes significant sacrifices to swim, and just as importantly, so do their families (esp, partners, spouses, children where this is applicable). The biggest sacrifice is time for other things and people. It's very visible at the various parties where the families are just as important as the swimmers, and most swimmers are keen to make sure their families sacrifices and help are recognised.

CATEGORIES Thrillers, New Releases, Noir, Distribution, Movie Marketing, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalLast weekend, Nash Edgerton's terrific, pitch-black, whip-smart crime noir The Square snaked its way through limited release in a few fortunate cities throughout the country. The movie is the feature directorial debut of the veteran Aussie actor and stuntman, who made a name for himself as a director through a series of highly regarded genre shorts. The last of them was Spider, which he co-wrote, and in which he starred. It is running in front of The Square in many theaters that are showing the film. And it is outrageously awesome.
The short first showed up at the Telluride Film Festival in the fall of 2007, playing in front of the mediocre Icelandic thriller Jar City. Once I saw it, I began advising fellow festival-goers to pop into Jar City, if only to see the short. It is startling, hilarious, and better seen with an audience that doesn't know what's coming (Telluride, with its theaters full of upscale patrons of a certain age awaiting the latest arthouse sensation, was ideal). But if you can't make it out to a theater showing it along with The Square, do check out the YouTube version below. I guarantee your satisfaction.
And if you do manage to see The Square, keep an eye out (pun intended) for the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Easter Egg shout-out to Spider during the film's brief hospital scene. It's the rare inside joke that's actually funny.

We use it to keep a edge on our kitchen knives.. I bought it and saw a review that it is the best of the inexpensive sharpeners. It keeps all of our knives nice and sharp. Before I use one of our knives I run it thru maybe 4 or 5 times thru the sharpener and you could shave with the knives..
I bought this when I bought my Fiskars X7 hatchet.Works great used it on my pocket knife and some tools in the garage. Glade I bought it.
This sharpener is great. I use it to put a workable edge back onto my Gerber 23 inch cutting axe. This Gerber axe is the same thing as the Fiskers version and does a great job at putting the edge on. Easy in-field sharpener. Only issue is that the edge has a tendency to cut at the plastic as you pull it through. May want to fix that.

Images of Democracy and Revolution
Exploring political cultures through their diverse ethnographic manifestations, this research cluster brings together anthropologists working on the role of the imagination in political life. Our current research focuses on the anthropology of democracy and revolution on a comparative scale, mapping out the hopes, dreams, fears and dangers that accompany diverse modes of governance and emerging political experimentations across the world.
We focus on the everyday conceptions and practices of legislature, social and electoral violence, legality and security, democracy and the state at large, and revolutionary discourse and practice. Collecting political ethnographies beyond the domain of institutional politics, we delve into the intimate realms of family life, devotional practices, everyday discourse, leisure activities and the workplace, to ask such questions as: How are alternative political futures imagined and produced? Through what mechanisms do politicians gain popularity and charisma? What is political intimacy, and how is it created and maintained in different, social, cultural and linguistic arenas?
Research Projects
Lucia Michelutti is coordinating an international joint research
programme entitled Democratic Cultures, funded by the European Research
Council Starting Investigator Programme (2012-16) and the Economic and
Social Research Council. The
programme envisions new anthropological strategies to study ideas and
practices of democracy and popular politics cross-culturally. We are
currently investigating questions of leadership and charisma, cultures
of elections and the relation between business
cultures and democratic governance across South Asia in particular.
Over the coming years, we aim to develop also comparative projects in
Latin America, Middle East and Europe.
Alex Pillen is presently conducting long-term research in the Kurdish community of North London. The project addresses cultural and linguistic survival in the aftermath of genocidal politics, and was initiated during a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2007-2009). The focal point for the study of this post-war society are the discourses on child and maternal health in the UK, as well as Kurdish regions in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. Statelessness and guerilla warfare form the background to a study of pain, affective regimes, slander, and evidentiality in everyday negotiations about healthcare and human rights. Extensive experience of ethnographic work in war-torn societies made this research feasible (see previous work published within the Ethnography of Political Violence Series at Pennsylvania University Press (2003), as well as Alex Pillen's role as advisory panel member of the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation for the Study of Human Violence, Dominance, and Aggression (2005-2009). The project also addresses Kurdish speaking audiences via satellite broadcasts, and this type of dissemination was funded by the UCL Public Engagement Unit.
Over the coming years, this project will be further developed in collaboration with LDC (Centre for Language, Discourse and Communication) at King's College as it constitutes a component of a wider AHRC consortium bid (BGP2).
Martin Holbraad is presently preparing a major comparative research project on cosmologies of revolution, in association with the Cosmology, Religion, Ontology and Culture research cluster. Provisionally titled Securing the Self: The Political Autology of Revolution, the project builds on Holbraad's previous research on socialist ethics and religion in Cuba (British Academy, 2004-06) and his on-going collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Security Theory, Copenhagen University, exploring the interface of anthropology and securitization theory in International Relations. The project provides a comparative ethnographic perspective on the emergence of new forms of revolutionary action and political organisation, and their relationship to cosmological dimensions of religious devotion and ascetic practice in different contemporary settings. Incorporating current CROC research students working ethnographically on political subjectivities and cosmologies in Latin America and the Middle East, the project aims to be recruiting Doctoral and Post-Doctoral researchers during 2013 and 2014. More information will be posted here as the project develops in coming months.

Review to decide future of Bicester's 'past it' play parks (From Bicester Advertiser)

Review to decide future of Bicester's 'past it' play parks
10:20pm Friday 14th February 2014 in News By Sam McGregor
A FULL review of Bicester's play areas is to take place with a warning that "difficult decisions" will have to be taken.
Bicester Town Council will undertake a full audit of its 67 parks, looking at the state of equipment and usage of the facility.
A report will be presented to councillors in the coming months.
Last summer parents and youngsters called on the council to upgrade dated equipment and increase the standard of Bicester's parks so they are in line with other towns.
They said play equipment was old-fashioned and tired and complained there were no sandpits or water play facilities.
In April several firms will present ideas for play parks refurbishment to councillors, including an idea of the cost for such a project.
Town council operations manager Chris Johnson warned councillors they would need "deep pockets" to fund a project of refurbishment.
Environment committee chairman Lynn Pratt said no decision had been made to close any parks.
She said: "What we need to do is look at our play areas. A lot of the equipment is past it.
"This is not a money-saving exercise – we think it needs it."
But Cllr James Porter said the council would face tough financial decisions next year as it would lose a Government grant and would need to make up the cash to balance the books.
He said one idea could be for communities to take more control of their parks.
Mr Porter said: "We should be talking to local people about how they can help to create grants and sponsorship and looking after their play areas.
"We can do something rather ground-breaking and different to how the town council manages play areas.
"It's not just about saving money but how we deliver good services with local people."
The council says it costs £200,000 a year to maintain sports pitches, pavilions, open space, nature areas and parks in Bicester – with £45,000 spent on its parks alone.
It confirmed it had about three years' of developer funding left to maintain parks and outdoor space. When new estates are built, developers pay cash to the council to maintain play areas for a set period.
Cllr Les Sibley says the council should be asking for grants and sponsorship now to fund a refurbishment programme, and should start asking for a cut of developer 106 funding, which is separate to the maintenance cash.
He said: "When there's Section 106 money available, we should be putting forward our bid to get that money.
"Any development that takes place in Bicester, we should be banging on the door.
"The county and district councils get theirs.
"We need to come up with some inspirational ideas with regards to play equipment."

No doubt this review will call for the closure of the smaller parks in the estates.

The county has sent taxing districts its second distribution of real estate taxes, according to County Treasurer Dan Knox.
"The second distribution of taxes to districts came to $14,316,908.87," Knox reported to the county fiscal committee on Thursday. "We still have a third installment that will be disbursed, which will include interest which by law is required."
Knox said the county will collect a total of about $33 million and has distributed $29 million. The annual tax sale receipts usually make up any shortfalls in tax collections and amounts levied by the taxing districts within the county.
Knox also reported the state is behind in its disbursements to the county in the local use tax for this month in the amount of $23,220.10; and is behind in disbursements of the income tax receipts since July.
According to reports issued by Knox, the state currently owes more than $452,019 in income tax receipts.
Knox said the state has caught up on its reimbursements to the county for the State's Attorney salary, and is behind from September for the Public Defender salary to the tune of $16,000. The county is also owed a probation reimbursement of $171,000.
Knox said as of Thursday, the general corporate working cash fund had a balance of $119,190 and monthly claims for approval at the regular county board meeting on Nov. 26 of $108,358.
The treasurer also reported he is looking into moving the public safety tax account to receive a better interest rate.
"I have given the current bank a month to come up with a better interest rate," Knox said. "You will probably see some movement in the account based on quotes I receive from banks."
At this time, the previous balance of the public safety tax account was at $1,883,036, with October interest of $419, for a general ledger balance of $1,883,455. Receipts for the tax received Nov. 14 were $92,893, making the current balance $1,976,348.
In other business the fiscal committee:
- Will recommend to the full board to pay Illinois Association of County Board Members dues of $1,050; and
- Will present tax levies for the 2012-13 fiscal year with a 4.99 percent increase — keeping the levy below the amount needed for a truth in taxation hearing.
