Forum Rules (Updated 3/22/14) 07/14/10Welcome to the Elitist Jerks forums, a WoW discussion forum targeted towards topics regarding high-end raiding and analysis of game mechanics. We ask you to take a few minutes to read the following before making use of these forums. First, a point of clarification. The name of these forums is not intended ironically; we have high standards for the discussion that occurs herein, and we're quite unapologetic about it. If you feel our rules are stupid or arbitrary, we don't really care. If you don't wish to follow them, you're welcome to return to the official Blizzard forums. Following is a brief listing of our forum rules; note that it is by no means exhaustive, as in our experience people are quite innovative in finding new ways to be stupid. These are simply a set of guidelines to get you started in the right direction. If you follow them, you will generally do fine here; however, if you concoct some creative new form of stupidity, our moderators feel no need to restrain themselves in letting you know. All posters are to make an effort to communicate clearly. In particular, all posts should be made in a reasonable approximation of proper English. We realize that a significant number of you are not native speakers, and we do not expect perfection: merely effort. Please obey basic rules of capitalization and punctuation, avoid chatroom abbreviations ("lol", "imo", "u", and the like), and pay at least minimal attention to sentence and paragraph structure. This includes not starting a new paragraph for each sentence. All opinions should be stated as succinctly as possible. Do not make multiple consecutive posts; rather, multi-quote and include all your ideas in a single post. Do not quote huge blocks of text to add a short reply; instead, quote only what you need to to make your point. Do not break a single quoted reply into multiple blocks; doing so needlessly lengthens your post without aiding its readability. And don't provide unnecessary backstory: if it isn't relevant to the question you're asking or the point you're making, we don't need to know about it. All discussion should be both polite and civil. Trolling or flaming in any form is forbidden. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are stupid or on drugs and their personal hygiene isn't really relevant to the discussion. Regardless of the merit (or lack thereof) of your argument, it should be made in a way that is neither insulting nor condescending. Whining in any form is forbidden. Blizzard is not incompetent or stupid and they are not intentionally screwing you over and neither is anyone else. If all you're going to do is complain, don't bother posting. Threads should be started if and only if there is some reasonable topic to discuss. If the issue you wish to discuss is covered in an existing thread, use it rather than creating a new one. If you are asking a simple question that you expect to have a simple answer, ask it in one of the "Simple Questions/Simple Answers" threads. But if you feel there is a topic of discussion not well-covered by existing threads, feel free to start a new thread to discuss it. Some sub-forums restrict new members from creating new topics unless they've made at least 10 approved posts, to prevent spamming or bad posts. If you really think it deserves a new thread before you have 10 posts, contact a moderator with your post content. Do not post unless you have something new and worthwhile to say. Do not bump, quote for truth, cross-post, or post only to say thanks. We don't want to hear your funny story about something that happened in your raid last night, your baseless speculation is unproductive, and your idea for a new ability really isn't that interesting. We don't care what gear you are hoping to get or just received. If you have an idea you'd like to share with the community, support it with analysis, testing, or both that indicates you've put some thought into it. (Note: Posting of a new untested spec falls under this rule, unless you have done the grunt work and have information to support your amazing new spec don't even bother posting it here.) Do not beg for hand-holding. These are forums for discussion and analysis, not for answering any question that you might happen to dream up. Search and read before posting--do not post a question unless you are fairly confident that the answer isn't widely known or easily attainable. In particular, we do not want to take a look at your armory or WWS to tell you what you're doing wrong and we're not interested in making your tough gear or spec decisions for you. We expect you to use the search function and also to read the first post as well as the last 5 pages of the thread you are posting in. Chances are your question has already been answered. Additionally, do not post asking for confirmation of a simulation result. If you think there is a problem with the Sim you are welcome to PM the author. All accounts must have a valid WoW profile. If you no longer play and have deleted all characters you used to have, you may select the "No WoW Account" option; otherwise, this information must be filled out for your main character. If you fail to observe this rule you'll be permanently banned from our forums. We do not permit anonymous posting. Do not sign your posts. People can see who you are from the profile printed to the left of each post, so signing your posts is redundant and simply takes up space. Similarly, you do not need to link your armory in your post, as if people wish to see it they can get it from your profile. Do not respond to terrible posts. Do not respond to a blatantly awful post (a post that is in clear violation of the rules) either in an attempt to moderate them or to answer a question they posed. Your post will just be warned/infracted and removed with the post you are replying to. If you feel that a post is in violation of these rules, please report it and the moderators will deal with it as we feel is appropriate. No Advertising. Do not make posts solely for the purpose of advertising your site/blog/twitch/etc. You may post such things if it's relevant and adds to discussion at hand. If you have information to share, share it here with a link back to your blog or whatever. Do not post "I have information, come to my site to get it". That will result in an immediate infraction and post removal. Also, we will remove any link to a site that violates a games TOS/EULA such as gold selling sites.
If you violate a forum rule, you will receive an infraction. Most infractions are worth one point, although we reserve the right to give you more at any time if we feel you deserve them. If you accumulate too many infraction points, you will receive an automatic (usually temporary) ban which revokes your posting privileges, as follows: 3 Points - 1 Day 5 Points - 3 Days 8 Points - 1 Week 10 Points - 1 Month 15 Points - Permanent
Familiarize yourself with The Banhammer, an archive of all infractions given by the moderators here; it will give you some examples of what not to do. Also feel free to take a gander over The Dung Heap, which will give you a good idea of what these forums would look like if we weren't such jerks. Thank you for joining the discussion!

I don't see a link for 140620 version. Looks like 140612 version is missing 5% base crit (all classes, but some, like ferals, get another 10%) and 3% Versatility raid buff included in MotW.
I'm not sure of the exact mechanics, but assume that the Starsurge timer is set to 30s whenever you drop below full (or it just went off and you weren't full), and also that Starsurge remains an extremely powerful spell (substantially more damage than our other nukes, and much higher DPET). It would mean we'll almost never want to be holding on to more than one charge (for fearthat shooting stars would reset thetimer).That means that we will often be using Starsurge at "poor" times (bad spots on the eclipse cycle, or wasting Empowered charges). I had been thinking we would open with something like CA MF Flare SS SF ... but perhaps it will be closer to CA MF Flare SS SS SF ... and at higher crit levels, at least the first SS might go before Flare.
Well, one second of AC gets your cycle down to 36s. That means you can have 100% Sunfire uptime, with 10s at 50% Mastery, and 26s at 100% mastery. Alternatively, if you arefull of Starsurge charges, but at a bad point for Starsurge+Empowerment, 1-3s of AC could get you to a much better place. I doubt that either of those is a win very often, but a Starsurge with 2s left in Solar is worth a lot less than a Starsurge at effectively 6s into Lunar (2s of AC will move you that far).
https://twitter.com/Celestalon/status/474437667963150337, Stellar Flare mastery bonus will be the product of both current Lunar and Solar bonuses. So If I have 60% Mastery, my MF could get a multiplier anywhere from 1.3 to 1.6 (can't cast MF on Solar half), a 23% relative spread. At worst, Flare would have a bonus of (1+.6)*(1+0) = 1.6, and at best (normally) 1.3*1.3 = 1.69. Essentially that curve is mostly flat and low. It has a peak that is somewhat pointy, but not very tall. The main reason to cast Flare at the perfect time is not to give it a big bonus (<6% more than its weakest bonus), but to avoid casting anything else at a time when that "something else" has a low bonus. However, during CA, Flare's bonus would be 1.6*1.6 or 2.56. At first that 2.56 seems like a lot, but perhaps not. During CA, a MF cast applies both MF and SuF DoTs, effectively doubling the DoT damage it would be doing (at least for a while). CA's damage increase (in my example) is 2.56/1.69, or about a 50% increase. MF probably got an even larger benefit. Bottom line,the quadratic scaling is a concern, but if at 60% Mastery, non-CA MF does about the same damage as non-CA Flare, then Flare's CA scaling isn't going to be "crazy high" until we see Mastery numbers substantially over 100% (third tier of the expansion might be the earliest that happens).
More named cells (or attached cell comments) on the Rotationtab please. I don't yet have a good enough feel for this stuff to understand all that is going on. Spells tab: It seems that for empowered casts, Bliz is more likely to code t/1.2 than t*0.8, but I don't know that for sure. I'm thinking rotations are going to include rules approximately like Don't cast MF/SuF in the last 5 seconds before CA becomes available. Do cast MF during CA whenever the cast will clip at most one of MF or SuF. Those rules almost guarantee at least one MF during CA (and on rare occasions two MF during CA). That might mean that out-of-CA DoT casts will be a bit less (perhaps 7/8) than you'd otherwise predict.
I agree that Stellar Flare has the best "feel" to it for PvE. Being able to do something useful when Lunar and Solar are both weak seems like a big plus, and should make the rotation more interesting. I'd say the same for PvP, except that Flare is not instant cast. Risking a both-schools lockout for a DoT cast sounds like a poor choice (unless we can kick butt as a Bear or Cat for six seconds or so). I'd originally (incorrectly) read that with Euphoria, SS gave 20% haste for six seconds. That would make that talent much more competitive, since your existing DoTs (which don't snapshot haste), would speed up for a little bit. Euphoria also has the advantage that if you clip a DoT at low energy (because of movement, for instance), you don't have to wait nearly as long to repair the damage.
Worth noting that with Eclipse going to 40s, (and Sunfire to 20+s), only one of the three T100 talents will have a tough time maintaining Sunfire, at least for a Patchwerk fight. Euphoria will have a 20s cycle to go with that 20s DoT. Balance of Power will maintain that DoT for you almost forever. Stellar Flare doesn't have either of those advantages, but it does have another always up DoT.
Warlords of Draenor Druid discussion
Erdluf replied to MysticalOS's topic in DruidsEdit: Oops, I misread the SotF tooltip when I wrote this. It seems to add 30% mastery only when casting an empowered Wrath or Starfire. That means the other percentages will drop, and SF/Wr will contribute a bit more, percentage-wise. I did a simple Balance simulator (CA, SF, Wr, SS, MF, SuF, Flare, shooting stars, and empowerment from Starsurge, no talents other than SotF), just to generate some logs and get a feel for how things would change. For numbers, I based things off of Wrath: Starfire: DPET 5% larger than Wrath Starsurge DPET 100% larger than Wrath Each DoT tick, 25% of Wrath damage DoT direct damage, same as a DoT tick (except MF gets double that). I assumed Flare has its own Eclipse sine wave, which peaks when Lunar/Solar are both at 50%. I assumed gaining SS from a DoT tick does not reset the 30s SS timer. I used low gear levels (Crit/Haste/Mastery (with SotF) at 15%, 15%, 82%) Starsurge count (and direct contribution)drops significantly from what we are used to. Over a not-quite three minute fight: SF 27 casts, 28% of damage Wr 33, 20% MF Ticks: 96, 15% SuF Ticks 95, 13% SS 11, 10% Flare Ticks 66, 9% MF DD 5, 2% Flare DD 11, 1% SuF DD 8, 1% The other big surprise was how fast the Eclipse% changes in the middle of the curve. From the log, a Wrath and SunFire were cast simultaneously with, with Solar at 72%, the next cast was a StarFire, completed slightly less than 4s later(gcd+3s cast and not much haste) with Lunar at 68%, so in 4s, the Lunar percentage climbed from 28% to 68%.
WC doesn't have a fight length, so it tends to undervalue cooldowns. Cooldowns are very strong at the beginning of a fight, and you can also use a 3m cooldown four times in a 10m fight. WC assumes most procs occur randomly which tends to undervalue the benefit of stacking them. Again, this is particularly important at the start of a fight. I'm not sure either tool does a really good job in fights where the the nature of the fight changes repeatedly (number of targets, damage boosts, ...).
Just a note if anyone is currently entering Timeless Isle, "of the whatever" stats into the spreadsheet. Armory currently shows the secondary stats before upgrading (and that is the number you want to enter on the Gear tab). Armory seems to be using the correct value in the total-stat summary. Those totals just don't match what it displays for the gear. I had assumed that armory showed the upgraded stats, and was backing-out the upgrade. That got WC to match Armory on the individual pieces of gear, but the totals were not matching (WC showed me short of the hit cap by about 60, even though Armory said I was at 5100). For example, my upgraded Fire-Chanter boots of the Decimator show 1408/1292 Int/Crit in armory. Armory shows 1307/1292 before upgrade. AMR shows 1408/1392 for the upgraded boots. AMR crit total for the toon agrees with the Armory crit total.
Starfire takes slightly longer to cast than HT, at least without pushback. Last time I checked, pushback is not affected by Haste. There is always the possibility that you won't end up casting any late SF, because of Starsurge procs, but you should probably quantify that argument.
If you look at the numbers, with multiple targets, you probably only want to maintain one non-eclipsed DoT, if more Eclipsed targets are available. Suppose I have time to put up six DoTs, and for a single DoT I'd average 1 Shooting Star. [TABLE]#Eclipsed|#Non|#Shooting 3|3|3.5 4|2|3.4 5|1|3.2 6|0|2.4 [/TABLE] In Lunar, I might value SS enough to convert 1MF to SuF, just to gain 0.8 SS (2.4 to 3.2). It seems unlikely that I'd want to make that trade just to gain 0.2 SS (3.2 to 3.4). From a mechanics standpoint, putting MF/SuF on each target is probably easier, but I doubt if it will be optimal.
I see the burst at 10296 in both spreadsheets. It is from an extra FoN cast (NG, no other haste procs, goes from eight to nine casts). Maybe you had Incarnation in one of your sheets?
[Resto] Mists of Pandaria 5.4
Erdluf replied to Earen's topic in DruidsHowever, we have substantial health (140k or so, I believe) that is not from Stamina. Bear boosts stamina, not base health. 500k = 140k base + 360k from Stamina. A 40% increase to 72% of our health, is a bit less than a 30% overall increase. That distinction is particular important at lower gear levels (and ilvl-capped instances).
Assuming 4t15, Sinister, 50% each crit, haste, mastery during Eclipse+NG, napkin math seems to show the following three rotations are about equal DPS: 1) With about 13 targets (or more) do nothing but cast your Eclipsed MF forever. Here I am measuring the steady-state DPS once NG has fallen off. You aren't using 2t15 or 4t15 with this rotation. 2) With five or more targets, alternate MF (or SuF, whichever is better at the moment and not on some target) and instant SS when available (it will be available about 85% of the time, a little less if you take reaction time into account). LS*3 is up all the time. NG is up for about 80% of your casts. You are making good use of 2t15 to extend DoTs, and 4t15 for extra mastery and crit. 3) Seven-target Hurricane (with Eclipse, but not NG or a Sinister proc) is also about the same DPS.

In the weeks since the passage of Arizona's Proposition 203, which made the state the 15th state in the nation with legalized medicinal marijuana, there has been a flurry of interest in the new industry and lots of media coverage.
The Marijuana Policy Project, which helped to push and fund the initiative, reports a flood of phone calls from people interested in setting up a business catering to the medical marijuana community, according to the StopTheDrugWar.org.
This Phoenix New Times story explains the billion dollar industry budding in the state.
The East Valley Tribune and The Arizona Republic examined the challenges employers face and questions they have about drug testing in the workplace in the wake of the new law.
AZCapitolTimes.com reports that visiting medical marijuana patients from other states could face problems with law enforcement when bringing pot into Arizona.
And in Flagstaff, City Council members sent staff back to the drawing board to come up with less restrictive zoning for medical marijuana businesses noting that strip clubs faced less restrictive zoning in the initial plan.

Jordan airs it out in Forest Lake Christian's winBy: Journal sports staff
Luke Jordan connected on 4 of 6 3-pointers in the first half to propel the Forest Lake Christian boys basketball team to a 65-52 victory over visiting Victory Christian Friday night.
Jordan had 16 points on the night for the Falcons, who improved to 16-7, 6-3 in Central Valley California League play.
Jesse Poppin added 11 points and 10 rebounds for Forest Lake, which plays at Cristo Rey Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Chase Augustino chipped in with 10 points and Brandon Camacho had eight for the Falcons, who led 41-21 at half and shot a season-best 43 percent (7 of 16) from 3-point land.
"The boys played really well against a very disciplined Victory Christian team," Falcons coach Jason Camacho said.

Radcliffe's directing ambitionDaniel Radcliffe wants to be a film director.
The handsome star says he wants to go behind the camera when the 'Harry Potter' movies finish and is desperate to direct just one critically-acclaimed movie.
Radcliffe insists if he fulfils his ambition he would then quit directing to resume his acting career
He said: "Ultimately I would like to direct movies. I'd like to direct one really good film and that would be more than enough. But I want to be an actor. I enjoy doing it."|
Meanwhile, Daniel has revealed he spent eight months in bed after filming the last 'Potter' movie, ?Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?.
When asked what he has been doing since filming finished, the 16-year-old revealed to Britain's TV Hits magazine: "I stayed in bed for eight months. I start my A-levels in September."

Coming off a two-hour Hardball on Wednesday, MSNBC brought suffering viewers back to just one hour on Thursday, but host Chris Matthews made sure they got their money's worth by presenting his closing Let Me Finish segment as "a Shakespearean choice facing Republicans this year" in "[t]o be a Republican or not to be" with presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Speaking with host Erica Hill on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, Iowa conservative radio talk show host Steve Deace reiterated his commitment to the Never Trump movement and after comparing Donald Trump to Superman villain Lex Luthor, promised that he feels "no moral imperative whatsoever to help Lex Luthor finish off his memoirs."
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough faced off with Rob Reiner on Thursday's Morning Joe, after the liberal Hollywood producer/writer explained Donald Trump's base of support by underlining that "there are a lot of people who are racist in this country." Scarborough shot back, "Could this not be about working-class Americans being left behind by [the] Republican Party?" Reiner acknowledged that "they're not all racist," but contended that "there's racism in this country that has been submerged for a long, long time....He's unearthed a lot of it."
With no sense of irony or humor, a new MSNBC ad claims the network "seeks different perspectives." Yes, the cable channel home to some of most liberal hosts and journalists on the planet, touted, "We seek different perspectives, connect the dots, approach the story from all the angles."
If it's sauce for the goose, it's sauce for the Hillary . . . Question for MSNBC's Katy Tur: of all the epithets Donald Trump pinned on his primary opponents, which was the first and arguably most effective? Bet you answered "low-energy," with which Trump of course famously jabbed Jeb. It stuck, and helped drive Jeb from the race.
Did people suggest at the time that Trump was hitting below the belt? Nope. So why is it suddenly unfair for Trump to say something very similar about Hillary? On today's Morning Joe, discussing Trump's critique of Hillary, Tur claimed: "there's this veiled sexism they have been accused of, somebody that doesn't have the strength and stamina, somebody who should not be president."
Of everyone in the MSM, Joe Scarborough has been widely seen as the most ardent Trump supporter--starting from the day Donald descended that escalator with Melania. Scarborough would argue he was merely offering dispassionate political analysis--saying that Trump's chances should be taken seriously while others were disdainfully dismissing him. But for those of us who watched Joe day in and day out during the primary season, there seemed to be something much more than green-eyeshade analysis going on. Scarborough revelled in every poll and primary result favorable to Trump.
Which makes Scarborough's statement on today's Morning Joe so strange. Joe first expressed disappointment that yesterday, Trump "stuck by the Muslim ban." Scarborough then proclaimed "I'm never going to vote for a guy that is saying he is going to ban somebody just because of the God they worship." Note to Joe: from the beginning, Trump has said the ban would remain in place only until we can "figure out what is going on." Trump is not proposing to ban Muslims because they worship Allah, but because virtually all of the mass terrorists attacks in Europe and the US have been carried out by Muslims. As the San Bernadino slaughter demonstrated, US authorities manifestly have not "figured out" what's going on, since the Muslim murderers were supposedly screened and entered our country legally.
MSNBC viewers were treated to two hours of Hardball Wednesday night following Donald Trump being anointed the presumptive GOP presidential nominee and while previewing the believed match-up of Trump and Hillary Clinton, host Chris Matthews and a guest mocked Hillary Clinton scandals as "garbage" and conservatives invoking the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi as deranged.
Lacking any self-examination whatsoever, failed McCain campaign head and MSNBC political analyst Steve Schmidt lashed out late Wednesday evening on Mark Levin as the embodiment of "narcissism" and "self-aggrandizers" who have created a "cancer" that's led "the demise of the conservative movement in the Republican Party."
Just as the liberal media gleefully did with Marco Rubio, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace blasted Republican Senator Ted Cruz (Tex.) early Tuesday night for simply standing up to Donald Trump and denouncing his promotion of an unsubstantiated National Enquirer story alleging Cruz's father Rafael may have been a part of the plot to kill then-President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
In a nearly 20-minute live interview with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell spent a mere 17 seconds asking the Democratic frontrunner about the ongoing e-mail scandal. Toward the end of the 19 minute 11 second exchange during the 12 p.m. ET hour, Mitchell raised the topic as an afterthought: "Now, I've got to just ask you whether since you last mentioned this to my colleague, Chuck Todd, in April, have you been contacted – or your representatives contacted – by the FBI to set up an interview?"
In a fantastic piece that it's highly recommended for news junkies and those interested in the media, National Review senior editor Jonah Goldberg took on MSNBC's Morning Joe and their infatuation with Donald Trump as "unwatchable" and full of "condescending snootiness" that rivals the cast of Mean Girls.
One of our media bias categories at NewsBusters is Double Standards. There was a classic example of the phenomenon on today's Morning Joe. The show's running theme was relentless mockery and ridicule of Ted Cruz for crossing the street yesterday to calmly debate a group of Trump supporters.
But later in the show, when a clip was run of Hillary being confronted by a West Virginian over her boast that she would "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," the panel reverentially praised Clinton, giving her "credit" for her courage in doing so. The panel had the chutzpah to insist that Hillary's moment was "organic" and wasn't staged. Really? She's sitting around a table with a handful of voters. Is Morning Joe asking us to believe that the former coal company worker wasn't hand picked and that Hillary wasn't fully briefed on what to expect? Please. Earlier, Mika Brzezinski actually introduced the Cruz segment by saying it was an example of someone "choking like a dog." The double standard was glaring and outrageous.

So what can you do to mentally prepare and help relieve the pain? Just in case....
How to manage labor pain without epi
So what can you do to mentally prepare and help relieve the pain? Just in case....
i planned on getting an epi but the pre e made it where i couldnt. worst pain ever but it was nowhere near as bad as i thought, and the healing has been SO much easier! just hold onto the rails of the bed and move your body with them, thats what i did, and i kept screaming "im gunna die" a lot too, seemed to help ;) lol
Breathe so you don't lose your shit.
And have something handy to bite ;) I bit dh... Embarrasing but true. It was instinctual to bite down. I was planning on an epi but didn't get it in time. Dilated 2-10 in 40 minutes. Uhhhh, oops?
I don't care how big or how bad you are, when a two year old hands you a toy phone.... you answer it.
Wife to K, Mom to K, due 4/10/13 with #2!
I'm glad you're thinking ahead and aren't just relying on the drugs to help. I've heard so many stories of women who can't get the epi due to timing or it doesn't take, and I always feel bad for them.
I birth naturally, by choice, so I've prepared myself for the labor/birth. But when you just expect the epi to work... I can imagine that would be very difficult.
As for how to cope - the best thing to do is work with your body, instead of against it. The pain has a purpose. It's temporary. You can do ANYTHING for a minute. Anything. Contractions come every few minutes, they last about a minute, and you only have to think about the one at a time. Don't think about what's coming, focus on the moment. Just when you think it's just unbearable and you can't do it - that's when the relief comes. Don't fear the pain of labor or birth, because it will only make it more difficult for you. Visualize yourself opening up. Visualize your cervix opening with each contraction, and baby coming down. And breathe deeply. Inhale when the contraction starts, and exhale as it's peaking.
Sign it. Share it.
i kept reminding myself that the pain was temporary and that it was for a wonderful purpose. my husband helped push on my lower back during contractions. i also felt free to yell out my pain :) the yelling really seemed to help me through the hard parts, like a release of my pain.

The juxtaposition of two such differently sized people is always hilarious, but the duo kicked it up a notch by swapping their equipment. Bishop, wearing Pang's old Chicago Blackhawks gear from the 1980s, looked like a teenaged player in the midst of a growth spurt, while Pang looked like a grade schooler trying on his father's pads after donning Bishop's already oversized pillows.The pair eventually moved on from the wardrobe malfunction and hit the ice for even more equally hilarious photo ops.

Is financial stress causing you problems in the workplace?
If so, don't feel like you are breaking the mold. Financial well-being is a growing problem for many American workers, according to a recent survey from FinFit, a provider of financial wellness solutions.
FinFit polled business owners and professionals for their perspective on the financial obstacles faced by employees at their companies, and most importantly, the effect that tight finances has on a worker's productivity.
The survey, which used responses from 250 business owners and executives at companies with 200-500 employees across the U.S., found that 71 percent of respondents said a lethargic economy has spurred a significant number of employees at their companies to live paycheck-to-paycheck. Additionally, 86 percent of respondents claimed financial stress spurred decreased productivity, absenteeism and increased distraction in the past year.
David Kilby, president of FinFit, believes that more employers need to take additional steps to reduce some of the financial pressures that burden employees.
"Even if you're making a decent salary, it is difficult to concentrate on work when you're worrying about how to pay this month's bills, or to find the money to cover a health emergency, a necessary car repair so you can travel to work or an educational expense for a child," he said. "We are seeing more employers recognizing that this is a real issue and as a result, starting to think about possible solutions."
By the numbersNearly four of five respondents claimed their companies do not currently provide any form of lending program to assist their workforce when they run into a financial burdens or emergencies. Approximately 50 percent think that a program offering financial education and support in the workplace would help employees be more productive.
To boot, 69 percent of respondents said they believe employees at their companies would like to participate in a program that would help them pay for healthcare coverage premiums, deductibles and co-payments if that was provided. The top reason respondents believe companies should provide loans to its employees was emergency health care costs, as 79 percent cited crisis hospital bills as a reason to offer loans.
Get away from financial burden
According to Forbes contributor Nancy Anderson, the first step to improving your financial well-being involves a tourniquet.
"The first thing you need to do to get out of debt is stop the bleeding," Anderson said. "Many people still use credit cards and still try to take out loans."
Anderson urged Americans to limit - or stop altogether - their credit card usage for a few months. She said during this time, regularly pay off the minimums to get an idea of how you'll be able to live within your means. Once you've gotten a grasp of your means, starting paying off the credit card with the highest interest rate. If you have multiple cards, go down the to the second highest rate.She said that if you have any money still available after paying off all your debt, try to start an emergency fund, which can help you from piling on credit card bills again if an unforeseen event is to strike.
Keep your credit score in check
The next step is to check out your credit score. Anderson said you can go to AnnualCreditReport.com for a free credit report from the three major bureaus.
"Look for errors that may be dragging down your credit score," she said. "There may be something that doesn't belong to you or something that's been settled and should be removed."
If you can't spot any errors, the best way to improve your score is by limiting your credit usage to 30 percent of the available credit and paying off your payments on time.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.40 N. Assume that only static friction supplies the centripetal force, and determine the radius r of the tire (in terms of m).

Sainsbury's has today announced that chief executive Justin King has decided to step down from his role after 10 years.
King will leave the company at its AGM in July and Mike Coupe, currently group commercial director, will take over as the new chief executive.
After a decade at the helm of the supermarket, King said: "This was not an easy decision for me to make, and in truth it will never feel like the right time to leave a company like Sainsbury's.
"It has been a privilege to have led the Company for the past 10 years and I am incredibly proud of our achievements in that time.
"It is the 157,000 colleagues that make Sainsbury's so special and I would like to thank them for their amazing efforts over the past decade in making Sainsbury's great again.
"I am confident that under Mike's leadership the business will go from strength to strength."
Sainsbury's chairman said that Coupe was a unique talent. "No one knows Sainsbury's - or the industry - better than Mike. He has worked hand-in-hand with Justin over the past decade and has a proven track record of success making him the natural choice to take the company forward."
Coupe added: "It's an absolute honour to be appointed as the new CEO of Sainsbury's in this, the Company's 145th year, and at a time when thanks to Justin's leadership, we have been consistently outperforming the market.
"I very much look forward to building on that success for our customers, colleagues, suppliers and shareholders."

May 18, 2015Roundup of Legislation, including MPA-related bills
The Missouri General Assembly adjourned Friday, May 15, after a bizarre session that began January 7.
The year 2015 will be remembered in Jefferson City for opening day in the Missouri Senate when Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder was forced to delay the proceedings as a large, vocal group of protesters caused havoc and ultimately was escorted from the galleries by law enforcement. Members of the group held signs and chanted for expansion of Medicaid and called for action in wake of the riots last summer in Ferguson, Mo.
2015 will also be remembered as the year State Auditor Tom Schweich and his public information assistant Spence Jackson died as a result of separate suicides, when then-Speaker of the House, John Diehl, resigned in disgrace on the last day of the session and was replaced by new Speaker of the House Todd Richardson (R-Poplar Bluff), when passage of a Right-To-Work bill shut down the Missouri Senate for much of the last week of the session, and when dozens of bills were introduced, relating to the tragedy last summer in Ferguson, but did not cross the finish line. Below is a list of how some major legislation fared in the Missouri Legislature, with thanks to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and its reporters Alex Stuckey and Virginia Young.

April 24, 2015Missouri Senate: Don't Shut Down Police VideoApril 24, 2015
April 3, 2015MPA Legislative Update from Doug Crews, MPA - April 3, 2015
Police body camera and dashboard camera video access
House Bill 762 was approved, 10-0, by the House Select State and Local Governments Committee on April 2, in Jefferson City.
HCS HB 762 includes language to allow police body camera and dash board camera video to be available to the public upon court order, and those persons or entities requesting such records can only be responsible for costs associated with their own attorney fees and not those fee of the public body.
HCS HB 762 is an improvement over the original bill's version, but the prospect of going to court every time to obtain a police video will present a challenge to the news media and other citizens.
The original bill, filed by Rep. Galen Higdon (R-St. Joseph), would have closed police video to the public.
While the substitute bill is better, Missouri Press Association prefers the version in Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 331. SCS SB 331 would make police video "investigative records." SCS SB 331 has stalled out in the Senate after receiving some floor debate on March 25.

February 5, 2015Missouri Press Legislative Update, Feb. 5Missouri Press Legislative Update, Feb. 5
Missouri Press staff has been reading and reviewing the nearly 1,300 bills that have been filed in the General Assembly. So far, 864 bills have been filed in the House and 416 bills in the Senate.
One bill of concern, HB 537, has been filed by Rep. Dean Dohrman, R-LaMonte (Pettis County). The bill would virtually shut down public information in the county assessor's office. The bill has been assigned to the House Emerging Issues Committee.
Themes of note for this year's bills: Requiring police to wear video cameras; ethics reforms that affect legislators and lobbyists; proposed expungements of criminal records; setting campaign contribution limits; eliminating non-judicial property foreclosures and replacing them with judicial foreclosures, deleting public foreclosure notices in newspapers.
A Shield Law bill for news reporters has been filed this week by Rep. Joe Don McGaugh: HB 858.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The sister of Boston Marathon bombing suspects Dzkokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev was in police custody Wednesday, on allegations that she issued a bomb threat.
Ailiana Tsarnaeva, 24, of North Bergen, New Jersey, was taken to 30th Precinct police station in West Harlem, on charges that she called a 23-year-old woman at her home in Upper Manhattan on Monday and made a bomb threat, police told CBS 2.
Sources told CBS 2 Tsarnaeva was accused of saying: "I know people who can put a bomb on you."
Tsarnaeva was arrested around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, police said. She has been charged with aggravated harassment.
She was issued a desk appearance ticket and was due in court on Sept. 30, police said.
As 1010 WINS' Holli Haerr reported, police said Tsarnaeva's boyfriend had a child with the woman.
Prosecutors allege that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now 21, and his then-26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev — ethnic Chechens from Russia who had lived in the Boston area for about a decade — built and planted two pressure cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon on April 15, 2013, to retaliate against the U.S. for its military action in Muslim countries.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died in a shootout with police during a getaway attempt days after the bombing.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded but escaped on foot and was later found hiding in a boat parked in a yard in a Boston suburb. Authorities have said he wrote about his motivation for the bombing on the inside of the boat.
Dzkokhar Tsarnaev is now awaiting trial in connection with the bombings, and federal prosecutors said in January that they will seek the death penalty in the case.
Killed in the bombings were: Martin Richard, 8, of Boston; Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford; and Lu Lingzi, 23, a Boston University graduate student from Shenyang, China. At least 16 others lost limbs.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev also is charged in the slaying of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the brothers' getaway attempt.

May 1, 2016
Associated Press Release
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- St. Petersburg police have arrested a 13-year-old boy accused of showing a handgun at a school bus stop.
Officials say he showed the weapon off to other kids who were waiting to be taken to Azalea Middle School on Monday. The boy attends the school as well.
One of the kids at the bus stop told a parent, who called school officials, who called police.
Police say that on Tuesday morning, officers went to the boy's home. His mother gave them permission to search the boy's room, where they recovered the .380-caliber handgun. The boy told investigators another juvenile gave him the gun. He faces a felony charge of possessing a weapon on school property.
The Associated Press is not naming the boy because he is a minor.
