Research Suggests Paid Sick Leave Improves Public Health
Several media outlets highlighted new research that found workers that had access to paid sick leave are less likely to come to work when contagious -- thus slowing the spread of diseases and improving overall public health. While this may seem like an obvious conclusion, right-wing media have criticized paid sick time and other forms of earned leave as unnecessary "giveaways" for low-wage workers.
Robert Powell: "The Reality Is Money Doesn't Grow On Trees"
During an appearance on Fox Business, former Economist editor Robert Powell dispelled claims from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign that the candidate's tax and economic policy proposals would generate at least five consecutive years of economic growth in excess of 4 percent annually.
Powell, who is now the global risk briefing manager for the Economist Intelligence Unit, a forecasting and advisory business operated by The Economist, was interviewed on the August 24 edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co. Host Stuart Varney opened the segment by asking for a response to Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore's guarantee earlier this week that the massive tax cuts proposed by the Republican nominee would generate sustained economic growth far outpacing anything witnessed in the United States since 1966. Along the way, Powell poked holes in the arguments in favor of the budget-busting supply-side tax cuts Trump and other Republicans have advocated for years as a silver bullet solution to economic malaise.
Powell mocked Moore's guarantee, noting that "the reality is money doesn't grow on trees," and slammed Trump's tax plan for promising to add trillions of dollars to the debt -- far more than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's proposal might. He undermined Varney's unsubstantiated claim that cutting taxes will kickstart economic expansion, and reminded the Fox Business audience that President Reagan actually had to raise taxes to regain revenue lost to early tax cuts. Powell noted that to make up for built-in revenue losses, the rate of economic expansion would actually have to hit 10 percent or more -- which is not a "feasible" rate of growth. Most importantly, he questioned why Varney and his Fox Business cohort are gripped with so much economic anxiety when "unemployment is 4.9 percent" and the American economy is doing "relatively well" and is "a star performer" when compared with other developed countries around the world. From Varney & Co.:
Powell mentioned during the interview that The Economist does not believe either Trump's or Clinton's plan can meet Moore's arbitrary growth threshold, stating that "we're perfectly reasonable, and we don't think Hillary Clinton will deliver 4 percent growth either." But Powell did argue that Trump's position on taxes and economic policy is "less responsible" than his Democratic opponent's.
Trump's inherent lack of responsibility is why the Economist Intelligence Unit's global risk forecast for September 2016 ranks Trump being elected president as a threat to the global economy that is as big as "the rising threat of jihadi terrorism" and "a clash of arms in the South China Sea," the site of a territorial dispute between China and other neighboring countries, including U.S.-allied Taiwan:
One of the things that went unsaid during the interview was how absurd it was for Varney to accept Trump's 4 percent growth target in the first place. According to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), the United States has not witnessed five consecutive years of growth in excess of 4 percent in five decades. When failed Republican candidate Jeb Bush first promoted the target in June 2015, experts slammed it as "impossible" and "nonsense." Since then, arbitrary targets of 4 or 5 percent growth have been adopted by other GOP hopefuls, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and now Trump. For its part, Fox News has consistently fixated on setting arbitrary growth targets for the American economy in excess of 3 percent, which it claims is proof of a failed economic recovery under President Obama.
According to the most recently available data, African-American women on average are paid only 60 percent of what white men are paid in a year, meaning they would have to work almost nine additional months to catch up. August 23 is an annual day of action, Black Women's Equal Pay Day, focused on that issue, and numerous media outlets have noted the event by highlighting the plight of African-American women in the workforce.

Researchers Found Innovators Flock To States That Prevent Discrimination Against LGBT Workers
Recently published research highlighted by the Harvard Business Review found that states with laws that ban employment discrimination against LGBT Americans saw a direct increase in business innovation -- counter to right-wing media myths that such laws result in negative interference in the market.
According to a study published on June 15 by the journal Management Science, "state-level employment nondiscrimination acts (ENDAs) -- laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity -- spur innovation" among firms headquartered in those states. The study's authors -- finance professor Huasheng Gao and economist Wei Zhang -- published an op-ed on August 17 in the Harvard Business Review highlighting their findings that states that protect employees with ENDAs see an increase in innovators moving to those states and a boost in business productivity. The research found that "firms headquartered in states that passed ENDAs experienced an 8% increase in the number of patents and an 11% increase in the number of patent citations, relative to firms headquartered in states that did not pass such a law." The researchers concluded that this change was a result of individuals moving based on their approval or disapproval of the change in the law and theorized that "pro-LGBT individuals are likely to be more creative than the anti-LGBT ones" leading to companies in states that prohibit workplace discrimination having broader access to more creative talent:
We looked at data for thousands of firms — almost all U.S. public firms that actively filed patents — from 1976 to 2008. We found that the adoption of ENDAs led to a significant increase in innovation output. On average, firms headquartered in states that passed ENDAs experienced an 8% increase in the number of patents and an 11% increase in the number of patent citations, relative to firms headquartered in states that did not pass such a law. These results start to show up two years after the adoption of ENDAs and largely are driven by firms that previously did not implement non-discrimination policies, by firms that operate in human-capital-intensive industries, and by firms in states with large lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations.
These findings contradict years of right-wing media myths falsely claiming that protecting LGBT people from discrimination curbs free market innovation and hurts business. Daily Signal commentator and Heritage Foundation fellow Ryan Anderson claimed that the passage of nondiscrimination laws for LGBT Americans would "foster economically harmful government interference" and that this interference could result in "potentially discouraging job creation." In an op-ed for CNN, Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council -- an extremist organization designated as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center -- pushed the myth that banning discrimination would be be tantamount to "federal government interference in the free market."
Right-wing claims that banning employment discrimination against LGBT people would hurt business are often followed with the myth that nondiscrimination laws are unnecessary. The Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby misleadingly argued that, save for "occasional incidents of bigotry … there is no urgent crisis in the treatment of gay and lesbian employees," because "free markets" have already rooted out systematic discrimination."
Contrary to myths promoted by right-wing outlets that ENDAs are unwarranted, the Williams Institute found that "widespread discrimination" against LGBT employees remains a problem in American workplaces. American workers still face discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, and the results outlined in the Harvard Business Review show that laws prohibiting such discrimination are beneficial to both workers and businesses, regardless of right-wing media claims.

Unions Benefit All Workers With Better Pay And Stable Shifts, Collective Bargaining Reduces The Gender Pay Gap
A New York Times contributor shared her experience working as a cocktail server in Las Vegas, where she saw how unions helped workers -- especially women and immigrants -- receive better pay, benefits, and job security.
Brittany Bronson, a Times contributor and an instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) highlighted the importance of unions in an August 17 op-ed, discussing how unions provide many benefits that specifically help women in the workplace. Bronson reported from her own experience that "unions are strong in Las Vegas," providing workers in the casino and hospitality industry "benefits that cocktail servers and hotel workers in other states can only dream of." These benefits and protections -- including good wages, health care packages, and stable scheduling -- are why Bronson saw "so many lifers in [the] industry." The op-ed also discussed how union seniority helped women maintain their rights at work -- something that "runs counter to most American workplaces, where women tend to lose power as they age" and the gender pay gap widens for women as they get older.
The role unions can play in tackling pay disparities and overall economic inequality is frequently dismissed by right-wing media, which deny the existence of a gender pay gap and misleadingly blame unions for contributing to economic deterioration. Working women in the United States earned "just 79 percent of what men were paid" in 2014, according to a Spring 2016 report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Pay disparities follow women throughout their careers, depressing their earnings potential and contributing to elevated rates of poverty in retirement. Union seniority rights and collective bargaining opportunities could be an important part of ending the gender pay gap by preventing pay discrimination against women -- as the op-ed pointed out, the Pew Charitable Trust found that the gender pay gap narrows in union shops, where women are paid roughly 88 percent as much as their male counterparts. From the August 17 edition of The New York Times:
Unions are strong in Las Vegas, and they bring benefits that cocktail servers and hotel workers in other states can only dream of: Beyond better wages and health care packages, union members are ensured set schedules and their first choice of coveted shifts, based on seniority. It's why there are so many lifers in my industry: At the top of our cocktailing matriarchy was a woman who had joined the union in 1973.
The Las Vegas casino scene runs counter to most American workplaces, where women tend to lose power as they age. According to research by the recruiting site Glassdoor, the pay gap, even after it's adjusted for things like occupation, increases with age — from 2.2 percent for women ages 18 to 24 to 10.5 percent for women between 55 and 64. Family obligations and gender discrimination take women out of the American work force, meaning fewer promotions, fewer women in management and ultimately fewer raises.
The benefits ripple outward, in the form of family wealth building and educational opportunities. According to a March 2015 New York Times report, a girl in a poor family who grows up in Las Vegas will make 7 percent more than she would elsewhere by age 26. Income mobility for women is better in Clark County, where Las Vegas is, than it is in 71 percent of counties nationwide.
Editorial Board Distorts Research Conclusions To Fit Anti-Minimum Wage Narrative
The Wall Street Journal bizarrely claimed the idea of raising minimum wages had been "thoroughly dismantled" after a study found Seattle low-wage jobs grew by only 99 percent as much as the study's model predicted would have been the case if the city had not raised the municipal minimum wage.
In an August 14 editorial, the Journal claimed that raising the minimum wage would lead to "fewer opportunities" for working families, citing a report from researchers at the University of Washington that found low-wage employment grew by one percentage point less than the researchers predicted had the city not raised wages. The report looked at economic growth in Seattle since it raised the local minimum wage to $11 per hour in April 2015, as part of the city's gradual phase-in of a $15 per hour minimum wage. The Journal cited the report as evidence that "Seattle's increase last year seems to be reducing employment," dismissing that the same researchers found that the Seattle economy saw a "boom in job growth" over the last 18 months. The Journal also misleadingly claimed that "only 73 cents" of the recorded wage growth experienced by low-income workers from 2014 through 2015 was "owed to the minimum wage." Median wages for low-wage workers increased from $9.96 per hour to $11.14 per hour over that time frame, meaning the vast majority of the wage increase -- roughly 62 percent -- was the result of the minimum wage ordinance alone. From The Wall Street Journal:
Few ideas have been so thoroughly dismantled by reality as minimum-wage laws, which price some jobs out of existence and some workers out of jobs. Yet progressives keep expecting different results, and on Thursday Hillary Clinton endorsed a national increase. So let's check in on the latest experiment: Seattle's increase last year seems to be reducing employment.
That's the finding of a new report by researchers at the University of Washington. The study compared nine months of 2015 in Seattle, where the wage is ticking up gradually and hit $13 an hour in January, with similar areas elsewhere in Washington. The authors produced a statistical model to figure out what Seattle would have looked like if the city's planners hadn't increased the wage floor.
The researchers found that the ordinance decreased the low-wage employment rate by about one-percentage point. Median wages went up for those who earned less than $11 an hour in 2014: to $11.14 at the end of 2015, from $9.96. Yet the study notes that only an estimated 73 cents of the increase is owed to the minimum wage.
None of this will surprise anyone who understands that increasing the cost of something will reduce the demand for it. Then again, that concept seems to elude both major presidential candidates, who have floated national minimum-wage increases. The results will be the same as in Seattle: Fewer opportunities for the people the law is intended to help.
When the University of Washington study was first reported by local Seattle outlets they touted the report as evidence the city's economy is booming despite the minimum wage increase. Contrary to the Journal's right-wing spin, The Seattle Times stated the report showed the wage increase had "little impact" on the labor market and that the "city's job-growth rate has been triple the national average." Meanwhile, Seattle Weekly used the report to debunk conservative predictions that the increase "would 'devastate' small businesses" and harm low-wage workers.
While the Journal falsely claimed the report proved right-wing media talking points against raising minimum wages, the researchers actually warned readers "to not interpret these results as likely to be generalizable," cautioning that "these results show only the short-run impact of Seattle's increase to a wage of $11/hour" because it will take many years for the full effects to be seen. The researchers also stated that "given the lack of standard errors in this draft, some caution should be used in confidently asserting that the Minimum Wage Ordinance caused an impact of a particular size." In an August 10 op-ed in The Washington Post, economist Jared Bernstein found this lack of standard errors in the model a "limitation" and noted that economist Michael Reich found the calculations were "not distinguishable from zero" -- making the one percent difference between the city's experimental and actual job growth possibly negligible.
It is important to note the university report did not find that the minimum wage increase itself was responsible for Seattle's recent economic boom. Nevertheless, the report follows a trend of positive economic data out of Seattle, including research from Automatic Data Processing (ADP), which found that from mid-2014 to the end of 2015, "the Seattle labor market was exceptionally strong" and the city's "job growth rate tripled the national average."
Right-wing media are staunchly opposed to increasing the minimum wage at the local, state, and federal level and are dedicated to promoting the myth that wage increases result in job losses, despite a wealth of evidence showing that minimum wage increases have a negligible effect on employment.

Economists and tax policy experts from across the political spectrum slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's rewritten tax and economic policy proposals, which he unveiled during an August 8 speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Fact-checkers and journalists had already heavily criticized the speech for being "detail-devoid" and "short on specifics."

Media figures blasted Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's August 8 economic speech for being "detail-devoid" and "ridden with more of the same empty tropes" characteristic of his past economic policy speeches.

A couple things I would like to see...
Admin Area
- An admin panel which can be configured easily to how the user wants it to look.
- The ability to turn off some parts of WP. For instance, Links and the "WordPress Bookmarklet" portion at the bottom of the post page. Not everyone uses them.
- Easier intergration of pinging Blogrolling and other blog services. Ie. a field to enter urls of addition services to ping, instead of having to hack up php files to get it to work.
- A working upload script
- A category drop down list on the post page instead of check boxes. For those of us that have a lot of categories it gets to be a long column that scrolls down into the "WordPress Bookmarklet" area. Which makes things look rather messy.
- In the edit menu, instead of listing the title and the entire entry, just list the title, and to edit the entry, click on the title. As it is right now, it's extremely messy and cumbersome
- Have the "View Site" button open the site in a new window
- Have the admin area rely less on CSS based buttons. And have basic menu links or a graphical menu
- On the post page and advanced editing page, place "Save" "Publish", etc buttons at the bottom. It doesn't make any sense having the "upload image", "trackback" and "edit timestamp" regions below the buttons that publish a post.
- Intead of having an "advanced editing" button on the post page, an option under options for ' "Advanced Editing" on or off' would be better. Sure it's only one click for each post. But, if you have to do it for every post, it gets to be a pain
- On the post page, if you're going to have a field for an except, might as well go the whole-9 and have a field of an extended entry also -- Or make an <!--excerpt--> tag so that text prior to it is considered an excerpt.

"Gulf sturgeon are anadromous: adults spawn in freshwater and migrate into marine waters in the fall to forage and overwinter. Juvenile Gulf sturgeon stay in the river for about the first 2-3 years. Gulf sturgeon return to their natal stream to spawn. Riverine habitats where the healthiest populations of Gulf sturgeon are found include long, spring-fed, free-flowing rivers, typically with steep banks, a hard bottom, and an average water temperature of 60-72° F. Gulf sturgeon initiate movement up to the rivers between February and April and migrate back out to the Gulf of Mexico between September and November."
(Office of Protected Resources, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/fish/gulfsturgeon.htm)
Atlantic sturgeon are "anadromous"; adults spawn in freshwater in the spring and early summer and migrate into "estuarine" and marine waters where they spend most of their lives. In some southern rivers a fall spawning migration may also occur. They spawn in moderately flowing water (46-76 cm/s) in deep parts of large rivers. Sturgeon eggs are highly adhesive and are deposited on bottom substrate, usually on hard surfaces (e.g., cobble). It is likely that cold, clean water is important for proper larval development. Once larvae begin migrating downstream they use benthic structure (especially gravel matrices) as refuges. Juveniles usually reside in estuarine waters for months to years. Subadults and adults live in coastal waters and estuaries when not spawning, generally in shallow (10-50 m depth) nearshore areas dominated by gravel and sand substrates. Long distance migrations away from spawning rivers are common.

bikeit posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI have a 2008 fiesta, this past few days here it is below 0 degrees, got into the car yesterday morning and again this morning the back brakes were frozen, the car would not move forward or backward, so i had to keep trying to get it to move as i was running late, so what i would like to know is there anything i can do to prevent this happening again and was it safe to force the car to move?
Not sure if its makes a sound when spun as i was not there when the mechanic was working at it.
Took the car to the mechanic yesterday and he took the car for a drive he also heard the noise so he checked the car out but he cannot find anything wrong with the rear wheel, no play in the bearings either, so folks where do i look now?
MK6 i thought thats what it might have been when i first heard the noise and i already have done as you suggested but no play is present.
bikeit posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI have noticed a strange tinny noise coming from the back drivers wheel area of my car, the car has to be doing above 15mph anyone any idea what it could be?

Lenny wish i had seen the upgrade wiper it looks cool, but i also got a new rear blade, could you send me the link of the ebay ford parts guy please
Kevin i bought the wipers the day i bought the car as the old wipers were crap looking, they are the Bosch ones bought here http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/ford-fiesta-years-2002-to-2008/bosch-aerotwin-ar22u-and-bosch-aerotwin-ar16u-twin-pack-wiper-blades/ I have tried a local scrap yard for the rear wiper nut cover but no joy, the next day i am off work i will call into the nearest Ford parts dept and get one, but its fifty miles away so thats why i have not got one yet, but if someone on here has a spare one or knows where i can get one get in touch.
Mark M K they were on the car when i bought it and i dont have the car long enough to give you an honest answer
Froggy72 if you are planing to clay your car i would recommend the Bilt Hammer range as its reasonably priced easier to use that most clays and you can use water as a lubricant or i use water and a v small amount of car shampoo in a spray bottle.
I will probably get slaughtered for this but here goes. Greased lightling will not last very long and will be okay if you didnt have a lot of time on your hands, otherwise you are better to polish and then use a separate wax, i usually only polish and wax twice a year on all my cars.

I'd English because you can have fantastic c/w grades but then if you mess up the exam you are in trouble ~
for me a hard subject means = hardest to get a good grade
So it is either History or English ~
So far I'm finding Math's the hardest, and I found that easiest in KS3. Fine Art's pretty hard too, but that's just the time it takes up.
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by lapsaJ)
depends on the person too.. only one challenging is maths due to a history of broken learning - otherwise id be as comfortable at maths at science.. id say english is quite hard and btec ict sucks due to the sheer amount of cw but thats what you expect from a crap btec lol
Personally, I'd find something like Art awful, and I know I wouldn't be able to get a good grade in it. Well, there's no way I'd get an A*, or an A most likely. And I wouldn't enjoy it either, I can't do art. I might be able to get a C or something, but nothing higher, I'd think. However I'm sure during the 2 year course I'd improve, but y'know. However, I know some amazing artists in my year, that love and are really enthusiastic about it.
However, I'm more of a sciencey/mathsy person. I can do Maths this year with no major problems, and the same with Chemistry for the most part. I'm not saying they're not hard, cos parts of them are, they're just not very hard to me. But equally I know some people who can't stand maths and would never do the A-Level in a million years, and only did the GCSE cos they had to.
So, I'd say Art overall personally. But out of the GCSEs I did I'd say Literature-well, it was my only A for a start (though I've recently realised I probably could've managed to get an A* if I'd put more effort in and thought about it more), and I didn't enjoy it too much. But really, I'm not going to vote as everyone will have different opinions on the matter-I'm sure there're some people on here that could get an A* in Art GCSE with no problem, and others that would struggle to even get a C in maths.

Latin! so much poetry to remember
The marks in my class were appalling: Ds and Es for people who'd otherwise done quite well.
The new modular science is so much easier than the old science! *grumbles* We didn't have the luxury of multiple choice, we had to do proper coursework instead of silly ISAs... */end grumble*
In my opinion - German
This is obviously really subjective, but I reckon something like English Lit is the hardest to achieve top grades in. However, I may only be saying that 'cause I wasn't used to revising for English, and the mocks were a bit of a wake up call. My best subject ended up being my worst result...
Resistant materials definately, I cant believe english is top its really easy for me though I only got a B for literature.
Maths for me.
Art - because you need to be good at it (AND enjoy it too) or you'll get screwed up. I wasn't good at it and didn't enjoy doing the coursework (it took up most of my time) so I ended up with a B. Well, it was either Art or Child Development.
I'm finding English Lit the hardest. I got a D in the mock, which was my lowest grade. I find the stuff we have to study for the exam really hard to understand, especially the poems. That means I also have a lot of difficulty writing essays that are long enough! But I think my coursework is quite good, so hopefully that'll raise my final grade to a C or B.
English Lit!!
I can not do it AT ALL =[
I try my absolute hardest and still just get Bs
I hate chemistry with a passion, proven by my grade D's in it as apposed to my A*'s in Biology and Physics. Also, drama is a tough subejct to get a high grade in, the coursework element is terrible if you're aiming high and you need a really nice examiner to watching your final piece, otherwise your drama grade is pratically doomed.
As the poll says: English Lit.
OfflineReputationRep:(Original post by kimzotic)
Latin! so much poetry to remember
I actually voted for Science, if only because it was my worst grade Predicted A*A*, got BB...I blame my complete inability to understand Chemistry after year 9, and an unlucky Blodge paper. Oh well, if one won't revise, what can they expect?!
Surprised at the number of people answering English...
I found RE and Physics really hard. Then again, it's probably because I did absolutley NO work in them because they were so boring.

went back to store on 6/25/07 to return or exchange and I was told by the sales guy there was nothing he could do. asked for the owner or manager who was not there at the time. on there receipt it states refunds given up to 7 days with receipt which I do have and I was within there 7 day policy.
well obviously service ends after the sale. thank god I did not buy my swimming pool from these guys. now I did leave a couple of messages for the owner or manager to call me back to no avail. so be careful of this ripoff company. they should change there name from THE GREAT ESCAPE to THE GREAT RIPOFF.
Also what kind of legitimate company only gives a 7 day return policy on products. I am working with my credit card company to reverse the $120.00 charge and Great Escape told them the product I purchased was a pool chemical which there is no returns as stated on there receipt which is fine. but the item is a mechanical pool cleaner not a chemical. so it appears they are also liars.
still waiting to hear back from Visa so be careful shopping The Great Escape a.k.a The Great Rip Off

Residents along Harry Wise Road are speaking out after the Anderson County Fiscal Court rejected a planning and zoning recommendation to allow a new tract of homes to be built.
The fiscal court made its decision last Tuesday morning, and asked the county attorney to draft facts and findings it will vote on at a later date.
Developer Larry Cann asked the court to override planning and zoning's decision and grant him a zoning change that will allow him to build up to 17 homes in a wooded lot he owns on Harry Wise Road.
Phil Cooke had a valid green card, and could have stayed in America in perpetuity without the hassle of filling out the mountains of paperwork and other requirements to receive full citizenship.
But the native of England said he loves living in Lawrenceburg so much, completing the tedious process was the least he could do.
"The reason I did it was out of respect for the community," Cooke said. "The people of Lawrenceburg and First Baptist Church right from day one made me feel welcome. I feel it really is my home."
Two Lawrenceburg residents were indicted last Tuesday on numerous felony counts of burglary and theft by unlawful taking.
Frederick Kirchhoff III, 28, and Samantha Wolverton, 27, both of 101 Brenda Drive, were indicted by the Anderson County Grand Jury on six counts of theft by unlawful taking, over $500, each a Class D felony. They were also indicted on five counts of third-degree burglary and one county first-degree burglary for an alleged crime spree earlier this year, according to the indictment on file in Anderson County Circuit Court.
Events in the county park, and plenty of them.
That's the formula Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway has put in place to someday allow Anderson County to own and operate its own public swimming facility.
"That's my insight; that's my vision," Conway said Monday. "It might not happen in next three or four years, but I can actually see it happening."
The city council voted unanimously Monday night to approve the first reading of a 4 percent revenue increase for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
With the projected tax revenue for the city set at $990,000, the 4 percent revenue increase would increase tax rates homeowners pay from $1.67 per $1,000 of assessed value to $1.78, a 9.38 percent increase.
That rate would provide total revenue of $1,038,063 for both real and personal property.
The 4 percent revenue increase is the maximum allowed by state law without the decision becoming subject to a public referendum.
The Movie Night on the Green for Sept. 9 featuring Toy Story 3 will be postponed until next Friday, Sept. 16, due to potential poor weather conditions.
Mud will fly and trucks will get stuck Saturday, Sept. 17 during a mud bog that will raise funds for needy children.
The Anderson County Mud Bog is scheduled to be held in the county park beginning at 2 p.m. Admission is $5 at the gate.
Registration for competitors will begin at 11:30 a.m.
The bog will include several classes, including a 44-inch and under tire class, 38 1/2 and under, and 35 and under street truck class.
There will also be 4- and 6-cylinder classes.
Western precinct voters won't have to drive to town in November to cast their ballots
By a 3-1 vote, the Anderson County Elections Board last Friday reopened Beaver Creek Masonic Lodge as a polling place, ending nearly a year of on-again, off-again voting at the location.
The latest decision came after the parking area of the private building was reconfigured to accommodate handicap parking requirements.
After over a year of work, the Comprehensive Plan Update Committee has completed a final draft document to be considered for adoption by the Lawrenceburg/Anderson County Planning Commission, according to a news release.
The document has been presented to planning commission members for their review and will be discussed at a public hearing at the commission's next meeting. The hearing will take place at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13. Planning commission meetings are held in the Anderson County Fiscal Court Room at the Courthouse Annex.
About five years ago Dennis Cantrill received an inheritance from his late grandfather — 40 pages of writing.
Cantrill's grandfather wrote about growing up in Virginia and Kentucky, arriving at 1916 before his death in 1946.
"I still thought those 40 pages were quite an inheritance to leave to his family," Cantrill said.
Now Cantrill has accomplished the same with his first published book.

Starting a business in this economy is a tough task. Maintaining one can be even more challenging.
But if you've been in business for a 100 years, chances are, you've found a business plan that's recession proof.
Theo and Martin Proctor weren't alive when their grandfathers ingrained the Proctor name into Tallahassee. 100 years ago, the Proctor Dealerships opened a small store on Monroe between College and Park. And today, the family has a giant lot on Capital Circle, still under the family name--a 3rd generation of Proctors.
"The Proctor name has been synonymous with the community and cars in Tallahassee for all my life and way prior to that," said Theo Proctor.
"It's important to us. We're the third generation. Our grandfathers and our fathers before us were in this business. There aren't many businesses that last 100 years," said Martin Proctor.
So the Proctors' came up with an idea for their big celebration. Sell 1,000 cars in 100 days. A chance for Theo and Martin to honor their grandfathers and fathers and do something to make a statement of their own.
"You've got to work hard, have a goal and a plan. And it's a big help when the family that's in it together gets along with each other and works well together," said Martin.
Martin and Theo are second cousins. Theo has two kids, Martin has three. None of of the five are clamoring to get into the family business right now, but that could change. Both Theo and Martin admit that they both thought about something else before following in the footsteps of their fathers.
"We take the best of the past but ahead of the curve on changing with what's out there that's available for new ways to do business and do it better."

A few key points that might be of relevance. I switched to a different pharmacy, the walgreens down the street.
The pharmacist looked up my past history to see that I was getting a discount for the last few months and said she did not know why there was a sudden change. Well I'm not stupid I know somethings wrong. So someone needs to figure this out.

The only skills that net you a DPS increase while in greatsword are Gravedigger and possibly Nightfall, the other ones are losses. Death Spiral has some horrendous aftercast time that puts its total time to ~1.4 seconds and the burst of vuln isn't likely to help with that. It takes a little more than 2 seconds of being in reaper shroud to stack that equivalent of 12 vuln .
(EDIT: oops, meant to specify this was assuming soul reaping, which isn't being used here though. Like Phenn said, I have no idea why you would really on shroud for damage when you don't use soul reaping, but I guess in this case Death Spiral could be a DPS increase, though I'm not sure about that. In any case, GS 5 certainly wouldn't.)
Your information about about how reaper shroud damage scales is also incorrect. Reaper shroud always uses exotic hammer damage regardless of currently wielded weapon type. You can test this yourself by observing that there is little difference in tooltip damage between equiping and ascended and exotic weapon of same stat distribution (in fact, should be 0 difference if you use an exotic and ascended weapon that have no power stats to compare), and then deriving the coefficient to verify that (for example) Life Rend is .61.
I'm going to assume the rest of the skills/traits/sigils were chosen in order to help with survivability for those who are relatively new to the game and/or profession.

Trail visitors do you know the proper side to run, walk and bike?
Stay to the RIGHT. "Wheels yield to heels"
Many Trails are 10-12 feet wide with yellow dashed lines in the middle. Please run, walk, rollerblade, skateboard and bike on the right side and when you need to pass, do so on the LEFT side and give warning with a bell or say "passing". When passing it's OK to cross the yellow line and then return to the right side, as long as the oncoming trail lane is clear, if not yield until you can pass safely. Go with the flow!

Thanks to all of our volunteers over the past 3 years who have helped make this entrance feature to the westside into a reality. There's more work to be done to maintain and to enhance it, so keep your eyes open for opportunities to become a "Friend of Glenwood Park" as we enter into the warmer season! The mulch is to arrive within the next week and there's much work to be done mulching the trees around the new center and adding to the existing beds, and we will need all hands on deck, including wheel barrows!…Continue

Perhaps they'll break in and set up shop for drug deals and prostitution … or squatters could move into it, light a fire in the fireplace to keep warm only to burn the entire house to the ground, taking the adjacent houses along with it. Once done with the house across the street, the vandals will need to find another house, perhaps yours since no one seems to care or call the police on that street. Or consider the sidewalks, alleys and yards in your neighborhood. Someone discards a candy wrapper or a 40 ounce from a local carryout. Soon more litter and bottles begin to collect and accumulate. According to Wikipedia, "the broken windows theory" was first introduced by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in an article entitled "Broken Windows" which appeared in the March…Continue

Here's what goes in the blue cart:
Aluminum and steel cans - and lids.
Flattened cardboard and pizza boxes (free of food and grease).
Plastic bottles/jugs.
Newspaper, magazines, catalogs, junk mail, computer paper, cereal and other dry food boxes and phone books.
Glass bottles and jars.
Cartons and juice boxes.
Here's what doesn't:
No trash or yard waste. The blue cart is for recyclables only.
No plastic bags.
No hazardous materials, such as oil, pesticides, paints, cleaners or batteries.
No syringes/needles.
No electronics or light bulbs.
No window glass, mirrors, dinnerware, ceramics or pots and pans.
No food.
No buckets or butter tubs.
No foil juice pouches.
No sorting required. Put all recyclables in the blue cart.
Lids, caps and labels can be kept on recyclable containers.
Do not place dirty recyclables, like un-rinsed jars, in the cart.
Reference the graphic on the lid of your blue cart if you are unsure whether or not an item is accepted.
The recycling cart should be set out for collection in the same location as trash is collected. So, if a household's trash is collected in the alley, the blue recycling cart should be placed in the same location used for collection of the green 90 or 300-gallon trash container on the designated recycling collection day. If a household's trash is collected at the curbside in front of the home, the blue recycling cart should be placed at the curbside.

Just updated to JetPack 1.6.1, and in looking at our site on an iPad, the text in the official Twitter button is unnaturally large and quite ugly. I'm understanding that since it's in an iframe outside my site, so I can't manipulate the css.
We require the twitter/facebook counters, which is why we're using the official buttons.
So is there any way to get a JetPack Twitter button that looks ok on iPad and has a counter button?
