This will probably not go over well, but not a big deal.
I really think the blazers should trade Lamarcus and outlaw for Amare Stoudemire. The reason im saying this is because i dont see lamarcus ever becoming the player he can be. All he does is shoot jumpers (well majority of the time), which hes good at. But if youre gona have a power forward like that, u might as well have the best versiion of that guy. Lamarcus is basically a lesser version of amare. Everyone harps on amares D, but on a team thats capable of winning a title and in a system that actually preaches D, i think he can become adequate. Its not like LMA is all defensive, hes just passable too.
Im not sayin he'll never get better, but if we dont see something other than the same jump shooting guy again in the first 2 months, i wouldnt say its probable he'll be taking another step any time soon. Hes only 3 years younger and is up for a new contract. With all the hype he gets he is probably asking for 12-14 mill per. undeserved. Since team salary doesnt matter anymore since roy was resigned, why not get amare for a comparable amount of money (16 this year and his new contract would prob be 16-18 a year) and have a better version of LMA while getting rid of some clutter in outlaw.
I hope LMA improves, but im just not seein it. Amare and his crazy field goal percentage and nice FT percentage would mean an automatic WCF bid and possible finals appearance regardless of how good greg is. And if greg is consistently good, thats a championship team. Obviously the same could be said with LMA this year or in a few years, but in my mind amare would be a an upgrade.
Also after having the eye surgery and thru that ridiculous recovery of 22 hours a day for 10 days of laying prone in a massage table, he claims to have a renewed appreciation for the game.
Well thats all i got.

Compression for Life – Cycle 2
The Marlins Foundation was honored to assist Marlins Bullpen Catcher Jeff Urgelles in hosting the second cycle of Compression for Life. In 2013, the Marlins Foundation, in partnership with the American Heart Association of South Florida, developed the Compression for Life program. After Jeff helped to save the life of an Arizona Diamondbacks employee while on the road with the Marlins, the Marlins Foundation honored him with a gift to start his own program geared towards teaching the youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami Dade the importance of hearth health through diet and exercise.
The second cycle of Compression for Life took place at the Boys & Girls Club of Miami Dade – Kendall Campus. Each day of the three day program had a different focus; heart health through nutrition, CPR / AED (Automated External Defibrillators) training and celebrating heart health. On the first day, fitness instruction was provided by Marlins own Strength and Conditioning Coach Ty Hill. The kids worked up a serious sweat going over the 20 minute exercise routines very similar to the ones that Ty facilitates with the Marlins players. Back inside, Jen Llanos shared tidbits about healthy eating, sprinkled in with a Q&A period where participants received Marlins giveaways for giving the best snack choices to eat.
During the second day of the program Jeff was joined by 911 Educational Consultants to instruct the proper CPR techniques and teach the kids how to use safely use an AED.. The next workroom over, Cardiologist Dr. Sizemore joined the kids to share information about why it's important to stay healthy, sharing large scale models of a heart while the kids enjoyed healthy snacks. At the end of the day's lesson all 100 kids walked away with their own CPR kits, courtesy of Amerigroup Foundation, so that they may practice CPR skills at home with their families.
The last day of the program was Graduation Day where all of the kids received a certificate for completing Compression for Life. The highlight of the day was a huge celebration party where the kids were joined by Jeff's special guests, Billy The Marlin, Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins pitcher Nathan Eovaldi and Marlins President David Samson. Everyone enjoyed an afternoon of games, bounce houses, healthy snacks and dancing as they celebrated the fact that they are now armed with the tools to be heart healthy.
Special thank you to program sponsors: American Heart Association of South Florida, 911 Educational Consultants, Sergio's Printing
Putting our Mission into Action
What drives you on a daily basis? What motivates you to get out of bed and do the things you do? For some of you it may be your religious beliefs – a concept you believe in so strongly you are drawn to conviction. For others it may be a career goal that you set for your future. It may be something as simple as a New Year's Resolution that drives you to improve. Whatever it may be, we all have something compelling us to act. For organizations such as the Marlins, that's our Mission.
The Marlins Foundation is committed to improving the lives of our youth through education, the arts and baseball, with a special focus on children with special needs.
Oftentimes mission statements serve as a nice page filler and don't go very far beyond that. An organization may be founded with certain ideas and dreams about what it should ideally look like, and then once it begins operating it simply operates to survive, carrying out basic functions and not to reach ideal or dream state.
In 2010 Marlins Ayudan was formed to help the Marlins Foundation to reach its ideal state. Marlins Ayudan front-office volunteers serve as drivers, as motivation, and as tools to reach our ideal state. This pushing forward, always toward the ultimate goal, occurs on a daily basis. Last week in particular however, I was moved by how during a normal, December week, just days before people leave for the holidays, Marlins Ayudan stepped up and drove harder than ever toward our goal…

Last week solidified to me that Marlins Ayudan is a meaningful driver to help the Marlins Foundation reach its ideal state… improving the lives of our youth through education, the arts and baseball, with a special focus on children with special needs.
Share with us! How do you put your mission into action? What drives you to reach your ideal state?
2013 Marlins Charity Partners
In January 2013, over 150 South Florida non-profit organizations applied to the Marlins Empowerment Fund, the Marlins Foundation grant program. From the Empowerment Fund application process, the Marlins were honored to announce four non-profits as our 2013 Charity Partners. On top of their $25,000 gift, during the season each Charity Partner enjoyed a day at the ballpark dedicated to raising awareness about their cause and the opportunity for Marlins Ayudan to create but for experiences for our MASPP schools and their organizations youth through player visits and field trips. It was an exciting year filled with lots of wonderful memories on and off the field. Thank you to the 2013 Marlins Charity Partners for joining us in our efforts to better our South Florida community through education, the arts and baseball.

Mission: To create positive life experiences for children with special needs and their families through baseball.
Empowerment Fund funded program: Since the opening of Marlins Park in 2012, the Marlins have partnered with the Miracle League of Miami Dade in raising funds to build a special rubber turfed field for children of all disabilities to be able to play and enjoy the game of baseball safely. Once completed, over 68,000 disabled children throughout Miami-Dade County will benefit from this new site.
Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Mission: To provide vision rehabilitation and eye health services that promote independence, to collaborate with and education professionals, and to conduct research in relation fields.
Empowerment Fund funded program: Through the Marlins partnership, Miami Lighthouse provided free eye examinations and glasses to underserved children in South Florida. Eligible children received vouchers to see their community optometrist free of charge or a mobile eye care clinic would visit select schools in Miami Dade and Broward Counties. With the Marlins' partnership, this program is projected to reach 7,500 children from low-income households throughout South Florida.
Opening Night – Play Ball!
My first Opening Night was met by 34,000 Marlins faithful ready for another season of baseball in Miami. On behalf of the Marlins Foundation, I would like to wish everyone a happy 2013 baseball season!
A special thanks to some of our community partners who came out to support us: Miracle League of Miami-Dade, Best Buddies, City Year, Villa Lyan, Special Olympics Florida – Miami-Dade County, Breakthrough Miami, Easter Seals, Miami Children's Museum, the Ann Storck Center, Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Young at Art, Biscayne Nature Center, Seraphic Fire and Shake-a-leg Miami.
As you enjoy some photos from Opening Night, remember to value every moment this great game has to offer. Willie Stargell put it best:
When you start the game, they don't say "Work ball!" They say "Play ball!"

Allergies Health Center
Food Allergy Treatments
Medication continued...
Drug Category: Adrenergic agonists
Used in the emergency management of systemic allergic reactions or anaphylaxis (eg, urticaria, angioedema, bronchospasm, cardiovascular collapse). Effects are immediate and dramatic. Appropriate use of this class of medication can be lifesaving, especially in the emergency management of anaphylaxis.
|Drug Name
|Epinephrine (Adrenaline, EpiPen)
|DOC for treating anaphylaxis. Helps decrease symptoms of anaphylaxis by increasing systemic vascular resistance, elevating diastolic pressure, producing bronchodilation, and increasing inotropic and chronotropic cardiac activity. In addition, helps reduce urticaria, angioedema, laryngeal edema, and other systemic manifestations of anaphylaxis.
|Adult Dose
|0.3 mL SC of 1:1000 aqueous injected (usual range is 0.2-0.5 mL) q10-15min, not to exceed 3 doses; may need to decrease dose to 0.2 mL in elderly persons or those with known cardiac conditions
0.3 mL IM of 1:1000 dilution q10-15min; IV route (1:10,000) seldom used; not to exceed 0.25 mg; given very slowly and with extreme caution
0.3-mg self-injectable devices (Epi-Pen)
|Pediatric Dose
|IM dosing in children based on weight or 0.01 mL/kg IM of 1:1000 dilution; not to exceed 0.3 mL IM
1:2000 dilution q10-15min0.15-mg self-injectable devices (Epi-Pen Jr)
|Documented hypersensitivity; cardiac arrhythmias, coronary artery insufficiency, or angle-closure glaucoma; local anesthesia in areas such as fingers or toes because vasoconstriction may produce sloughing of tissue; do not use during labor (may delay second stage of labor)
|Increases toxicity of beta- and alpha-blocking agents and that of halogenated inhalational anesthetics, ie, drugs that may sensitize the heart to arrhythmias
|C - Safety for use during pregnancy has not been established.
|Dose may be decreased in elderly patients to 0.2 mL; may cause disturbing reactions such as fear, anxiety, tenseness, restlessness, throbbing headache, weakness, dizziness, pallor, respiratory difficulty, palpitation, tachycardia, tremor, and arrhythmia; use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes; properly train patients with use of self-injectable devices; advise patients to seek medical attention if using self-injectable devices to manage allergic reactions
Drug Category: Antihistamines (histamine-1 blockers)
Inhibit many responses to histamine. Histamine, via H1 receptors, causes smooth muscle contraction, increased capillary permeability, and formation of edema. During hypersensitivity reactions, histamine is one of the major potent mediators released. Blocking effects of this mediator with specific antihistamines is useful in emergency management of allergy symptoms.
|Drug Name
|Diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Benylin)
|Frequently used antihistamine for management of acute allergic symptoms. Medication has significant antimuscarinic activity and pronounced tendency to induce sedation. Approximately half of those treated with conventional doses experience some degree of somnolence.
|Adult Dose
|25-50 mg PO q6h
50-75 mg IV/IM q6h; IV drip may afford better control of symptoms (5 mg/kg/d); not to exceed 300 mg in 24 h
|Pediatric Dose
|1-2 mg/kg/dose PO q6h
1-2 mg/kg/dose IV/IM q6h; IV drip may afford better control of symptoms (5 mg/kg/d)
|Documented hypersensitivity; MAO inhibitors; glaucoma, gastrointestinal obstruction, hyperthyroidism, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease; may limit use in elderly patients
|Potentiates effect of CNS depressants; due to alcohol content, do not give syrup dosage form to patient taking medications that can cause disulfiramlike reactions
|B - Usually safe but benefits must outweigh the risks.
|Adverse anticholinergic effects and drowsiness; large doses may depress respiration; use can potentially worsen glaucoma, gastrointestinal or urinary obstruction, hyperthyroidism, and hypertension; dizziness, paradoxical excitement, gastritis, and blood dyscrasias; caution with performing certain motor skills (eg, operating heavy machinery, driving a motor vehicle)

As we celebrate the commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 83rd birthday, let us remember that he not only fought for racial justice and equality, but also called on us to end poverty and eliminate war. In his Nobel lecture, Dr. King said: "(T)he poor in America know that they live in the richest nation in the world, and that even though they are perishing on a lonely island of poverty they are surrounded by a vast ocean of material prosperity. … (T)he infection and sickness of poverty (must) be exposed and healed – not only its symptoms but its basic causes. … (W)e must not be afraid to pursue the remedy no matter how formidable the task."

Important notes: excessive humidity can ruin the meringues, so do not attempt to make or store them if you live in a very humid environment. Also, peppermint oil causes meringues to deflate, so be sure that your candy canes do not include "peppermint oil" as an ingredient, otherwise you might have meringue soup!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 15 minutes
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies that do not contain peppermint oil
- red food coloring (optional)
1. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
2. Place room temperature egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. It is important that the bowl and whisk both be very clean, so that the egg whites whip properly. A small hand-held mixer can be used instead, but the process will take about twice as long.
3. Begin beating the egg whites on medium speed. Once they are very frothy, begin to slowly rain in the granulated sugar and cornstarch mixture, a tablespoon at a time. Gradually increase the mixer speed to high, and add the vanilla. Beat the whites until they hold stiff peaks, but are not dry or crumbly.
5. Once the egg whites are stiff, fold in the crushed candy canes. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to tint the meringue mixture pink, and stir just until evenly distributed.
6. Using a teaspoon, drop small rounds of meringue on the prepared baking sheet. Alternately, the meringue can be placed in a pastry piping bag and uniform meringue "kisses" can be piped onto the parchment sheet.
7. Bake the meringues at 200 for about 2 hours. The meringues should be hard and dry to the touch, and you should be able to easily lift one from the parchment.
8. Once the meringues are done, turn off the oven and let them sit in the oven for several hours or overnight. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. This recipe yields approximately 4 dozen small meringues.

A lot of us are predicting a double-dip in this draft. Some of us wanting a double dip in WRs, others predicting a double-up on the O-line as well as a select few predicting we pick up two DBs. Dan Kadar and Matthew Fairburn over at MockingTheDraft.com say that you are all wrong.
What did they predict in their latest mock? Two FSU Seminoles.
28. Carolina Panthers - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
Steve Smith has been on a steady decline over the last few seasons, and the Carolina Panthers need to find another wide receiver to eventually replace him as the team's No. 1 option. For Cam Newton to take the next step in his development, he needs better receivers than Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn Jr. Enter Kelvin Benjamin, who drops a few too many passes and needs to refine his route running, but has the physicality and speed to be a difference-maker in the red zone.
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of Kelvin Benjamin for the reasons that have been constantly discussed since the last time MTD mocked him to us.
Other Players Left on the Board:
- Jace Amaro, TE
- Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE
- Jordan Matthews, WR
- Cyril Richardson, OG
- Allen Robinson, WR
- Brandon Cooks, WR
I don't agree with the pick, but given the other options I can't complain too much. If you want to see a more thorough look at Benjamin click here.
The next Seminole was:
60. Carolina Panthers - Lamarcus Joyner, DB, Florida State
Finding Cam Newton a new wide receiver is the clear-cut top priority in Carolina this offseason, but adding talent to the secondary isn't far behind. Lamarcus Joyner is a player who the Panthers can move around a bit until they find the right spot for him. He could be a nickel cornerback or a safety, depending on where the Panthers need him to play.
In the 2nd round, I don't see us taking Joyner. As noted in the explanation, Joyner is projected as a nickel CB or a S. We already have a nickel who we really shouldn't keep moving outside (Munnerlyn) and I'm not entirely sure what Joyner brings to the table at S is enough of an improvement to warrant a 2nd round pick.
Players left on the board:
- Morgan Moses, OT
- Ju'wan James, OT
- Dion Bailey, S
- Marcus Roberson, CB
- Loucheiz Purifoy, CB
- Jared Abbrederis, WR
- Cameron Fleming, OT
- David Yankey, OG
Given the other players available I don't personally believe that Joyner is going to be the best player for us. I doubt Gettlemen passes on some of those big hog mollies on the O-line, a different DB, or a WR like Abbrederis.
What do you guys think?

This team has made me go nuts. I fully trusted the FO, Wedge, and Shapiro and after this season, I wish I never saw any of their faces again. I could do a better job running this team than them...I promise.
Let's look at what is going on right now...the season is clearly over but Wedge still continues to have horrible batting orders (I thought the offense was never the problem) and ridiculous lineup changes. Why would Ramon Vazquez, who is batting below .200!!!, start at 3B...EVER!!! Why is he on this team period!!! The only way you keep a bad to below average UTIL guy over a young guy like Phillips is if he is a great fielder (McDonald type).
If you dont want to play Boone, play Blake at 3B and keep Gutierrez in the majors to get seasoned. THERE IS NO PLACE ON THIS TEAM FOR TODD HOLLANDSWORTH AND JASON MICHAELS! Why should they ever play over Gutierrez, Inglett, or even Marte? Why is Inglett on this team if he isnt going to play? If other teams want Boone, Westbrook, Hollandsworth, Michaels, WHY DO WE KEEP EM!!! The Yankees just signed Aaron Guiel and were rumored to want Hollandsworth...you are telling me the Indians turned down an offer for him? I would take money for him so we could sign a free agent. We all know the Yankees have money.
But people, please comment here for me. Wouldnt you like a lineup like this?
C - Vic/Shoppach
1B - Broussard/Garko/Vic
2B - Belliard/Inglett
SS - Peralta
3B - Marte/Blake
OF - Sizemore, Gutierrez, Blake, Inglett
Or do you want Hollandsworth, Michaels, Boone, Vazquez...
Do you want Wickman blowing saves or eating up a spot (literally eating) or do you want Carmona to test out closing?
This season is the most disappointing season I have ever seen following baseball in my life for a team. ESPN had them number 2 or 1 in baseball in the power rankings early. They have a better record than 2 teams in the AL right now...THE ROYALS AND DEVIL RAYS!!! Can you believe that?

I am curious what you guys have used to increase your raw total. Currently I am using Wender's 5/3/1 (have been for the past 2 months). It has been working for my squat nicely, but not so much for me for my deadlift or bench. I perhaps may have over estimated my numbers (most likely). What style routine has worked for your raw total? I am thinking of going back to bill starr's 5x5 but am not sure. I have a decent idea of what I need to work on, but I would like to hear your opinions. Input from the pros here is greatly appreciated .
Stick with Wendler's 5/3/1.
Low starting numbers are essential for this program. Have you been de-loading? I'll be the first to admit I'm impatient and want to make every damn session a ME one or else I'll feel like I'm doing jack **** but I'm starting to realize I need to start listening to people who are more experienced and stronger than me. Wendler stresses de-loading and starting with low numbers for this program to truly be effective.

Agreed. I took his advice and started using the conservative numbers as a starting point and it's worked out nicely. Like the OP said it's helped me most on squat, but I've also put about 20lbs on my DL in the past 4 months (which isn't bad for me). It's helped my bench the least but then nothing seems to help me with that.
I'd stick with the 5-3-1 a bit longer, though, and see where it takes you.

Question about your deloading.
After squats I usually do 3x10 of highbar squats, should I still try and hit a rep PR or a weight PR while deloading? Also on bench day for deloading I hit triceps heavy, should I perhaps not do that?
What is the Texas method?

I've been using a modified Westside template for almost a year now, and my raw lifts have gone up considerably. I think the stigma of it being a "geared only" training style is just wrong.

And just realize, you can't do the 531 for two months. This is a program designed for the long haul. You need to give it at least a year. Do it as it says, deload as prescribed. There is a reason for this.
I know it probably goes against every fiber of your being, but on the deload week ONLY do the main exercise for the day,(at the proper deload weights), then call it a day. Just drop the accessory work even. You WILL NOT get weaker, or smaller, I promise.

Straightening out pipe cleaners for over 20 years.
I agree the stigma of Westside only works for multi-ply is unjustified. Look at what Super Training is doing by applying the principles to single-ply lifting. Westside works whether it's raw, single, or multi.
We have 3 raw lifters that are making great progress with it in a short time period. All three were using different training methods before and had plateaued.
I think any of the above recommendations should work well, Just pick something and stick with it. If you dedicate yourself and train like you are supposed to there is no way your total CAN'T go up.

Keep in mind this is a template, not a flat routine. You can customize it as you like.

I'd disagree. I think bands and chains are essential. It's a key part of developing maximal rate of force deployment.
Westside works excellent for the raw lifter
Bands and chains also will speed progression and open up many more options for the lifter
So it's not a matter of essential or non essential, rather just a preference on the number of options.
I'm a huge fan of variety in training and feel that bands and chains really add this factor. When training raw, you just use a little less tension weight.
The morning crew at Westside trains bench raw 3 weeks out of the month. 5 of us have well over 500 raw benches and one is quite close to a 600.

At the powerlifting gym I will be lifting at I will have access to bands and chains. How could I incorporate them into 5/3/1? For bench my biggest problem is my lockout and for deadlift, lockout as well. For squats I would say the limiting factor is my lower back.
My main lift for bench I was thinking of being floor press and for my main lift for deadlift I was going to do rackpulls. How can I use chains/bands with all this in mind?
If you have the 5/3/1 book, all of those questions are answered in there. He doesn't recommend using bands or chains at all in the program. I would just stick to what he says, dude.

I prefer Sheiko Training.
I have a couple of questions for the 5/3/1 experts.
Do you think that the frequency on the main lifts is enough?
Do you think that the volume on the main lifts is enough?
Do you think that working with submaximal weights for so long is optimal?
I ran it for 8 cycles taking the standard 10% off of my weights so I have done this routine before. With the questions, I am just curious as to what the experts thoughts are.
Straightening out pipe cleaners for over 20 years.
you aren't going to get stronger by second guessing the programs that you decide to run. you have to believe in the program and get stronger on your own. just keep at it and good things will happen.
I think that you idea of using floor press and rack pulls with the 5/3/1 will probably get you really strong at floor pressing and rack pulling...but not necessarily at benching or deadlifting. That's not to say that your bench and deadlift won't get stronger per se; if you put 55lbs. on your floor press, your bench has probably gone up, too. I just don't know if partial range of motion every week/all the time is a good way to train them for a raw lifter. That coming from a guy who loves partial range of motion movements, haha. I think that with raw lifting, a full range of motion is so important. If you like floor presses and rack pulls, perhaps add them in as a heavy secondary exercise after your main exercise.
That's not to say that straight weight to the chest and deads from the floor is the only way....just trying to point out the importance of training a full range of motion for a raw lifter.

What are the pros and cons of free online homeschooling through the public school system? What is the real price? You may be surprised.
There are some really good reasons to consider free online homeschooling.
The best reason I know of, is that it keeps your child away from the un-Christian influence of many public school teachers and students. The second best reason, is that it's free. You may even get to use a laptop for free. Who wouldn't want that?
But is there a hidden cost?
Why would a public school district want your homeschooled child to enroll in it's free online homeschooling program? I'll give three possible reasons:
By enrolling your homeschool student in a virtual public school, you are effectively setting up a public school in your home.
Consider this quote by Lamar Alexander, Secretary of Education under former President George H. W. Bush: "A public school would become any school that receives students who brought with them public monies..." (Quoted in Homeschool Heroes, Klicka).
This may involve a great loss of your freedoms and privacy in your homeschooling.
For example, because of the public school's curriculum requirements, you may lose the ability to adjust your homeschool curriculum to the individual needs of your students. This ability to choose curriculum has been a hallmark of Christian homeschooling.
You may be effectively choosing to give up a Christian education and replace it with a secular eduction.
It's been estimated that 80 percent of virtual public school students are former private homeschoolers. The homeschooling movement is successful, according to Christopher Klicka, because of it's Christian roots. What will be the long-term effect of this massive shift toward more secular influence?
We may be paying a very high price, just to save some money and use a free laptop.
The soul of homeschooling is built on the foundation of many Christian parents who risked almost everything to gain the freedom to give their children a Christian home education. Is "free" online homeschooling really worth it, or is the price too high?
You tell me.
Glad to be dad,

Tyler property owners may soon have something to smile about - a lower tax rate.The city of Tyler unveiled its proposed 2012-2013 budget Wednesday morning and announced that it is planning to decrease the city's property tax rate.The city is proposing to decrease the property tax rate by $.0012, to 20.77 cents per $100 valuation down from 20.89 cents last year.The property tax rate has decreased more than 60 percent since 1994, down from 53.36 cents to the proposed 20.77 cents.The city said higher taxable values have allowed the city to slightly decrease next year's property tax rate.The city expects to collect $14.22 million in property tax revenues next year.City officials met with members of KLTV's news and management teams Tuesday afternoon to discuss the proposed budget.Overall, the total proposed budget is $96 million dollars, a three percent increase from the 2011-12 proposed budget of $93.5 million.The city is not planning for any fee adjustments in the general fund, which is primarily funded by sales and property tax revenue.A two percent rate increase for water service and a seven percent rate increase for sewer service is proposed to pay for more than $6 million in plant and sewer collection improvements.No increase in Solid Waste fees is proposed.Since 2009, the city says it has saved $2.4 million by participating in a Lean Sigma program."Lean Sigma helps identify the waste and variation that occurs in everyday processes," said Tyler Mayor Barbara Bass. "the program provides a structured approach for improving efficiency - which saves both time and money."The city plans to employee 757 full-time employees next year, down from 824 employees in 2009.In next year's budget, sworn personnel will receive a 3 percent pay adjustment and civilian employees will be eligible for a 0 to 3 percent pay raise based on productivity.City employees may also be required to contribute more to their health insurance and dental premiums. The city is also proposing to cap its contribution for over-65 Medicare-eligible retirees who elect to retain their supplemental health and drug card benefits.The public will have the opportunity to give input on the budget by attending one of two meetings at Tyler City Hall, on August 22 or September 12 at 9 a.m.The final budget for the 2012-13 budget year will be adopted on September 12.
You can review the city's proposed budget and the presentation given at Tuesday's city council meeting.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) -- It is the first-ever study on the economic impact Kentucky's bourbon industry is having on Louisville's economy, as the bourbon boom continues across the state.
A University of Louisville study released on Friday says Jefferson County is one of the biggest winners in the bourbon renaissance. "We are proud to say that the Kentucky Bourbon Industry is on fire, but in a good way, especially here in Louisville," says Eric Gregory, the Executive Director of the Kentucky Distillers' Association.
He spoke at a news conference at Brown-Forman announcing the results of the study.
It says the bourbon industry provides 4,200 jobs in Jefferson County, $32 million in tax revenue, and $50 million in capital projects during 2012.
"We are not just talking about distilling, we are also talking about the tourism industry, hospitality, bottling, and transportation," says the author of the study, Janet Kelly, the executive director of U of L's Urban Studies Institute."
During the past two years Kentucky distilleries have invested $300 million in upgrading their operations with improved bottling lines and upgraded and larger visitors centers. The numbers are impressive, but the industry says changes are needed in Kentucky's tax code for even more growth in bourbon sales.
Explains Gregory, "There are seven different taxes on every bottle of spirits. Sixty percent of every bottle goes to taxes, the one tax we really think is unfair is the barrel tax."
The barrel tax is assessed every year on the aging barrels in warehouses. Gregory says it is the only such tax in the world and is not assessed on any other alcoholic beverage like beer or wine. "We have talked with a lot of craft distillers that would love to come to Kentucky." says Gregory. "They are waiting on us to see what we are going to do with the tax structure."
The bourbon lobby will once again try to convince state lawmakers to make changes when the legislature meets in January of 2014.
Meantime, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says the growth in the bourbon industry has been extraordinary. "We want to grow thousands of more jobs," says the mayor.
