The Jellico City Council met on Thursday to discuss new ways of bringing in revenue. After Jellico didn't have enough money to pay employees earlier this week, officials said a long-term solution was needed. Members voted Thursday evening to increase monthly residential garbage fees for their 900 customers from $12 to $15, and fire protection fees will increase $100 for residential and business properties. The mayor says he's just happy that city employees were able to be paid. "It was not done intentionally, and there again people went about their jobs. The police, the fire, street, sanitation, everybody came to work, everybody did their jobs and they helped the city, and our employees are the most valuable asset that we've got," said Jellico Mayor Les Stiers. City Council also voted to designate 70 acres of land as a surplus; now the city will either sell it or auction it off.
Previous story
All 21 Jellico city employees have gone without a paycheck this week.
A large payment to their insurance company left no money in their bank account to make payroll Monday. City employees are paid weekly on Mondays.
Mayor Les Stiers said hourly employees received their checks Thursday. Salaried employees will receive their checks Monday, along with the next week's check.
It is a weight lifted off of Jellico's City Recorder's shoulders. Linda Douglas said it was stressful to have to tell employees.
"I was in tears. I went to the doctor yesterday because my nerves were so frayed," Douglas said. "I didn't get a paycheck. I'm just like the others. I live from paycheck to paycheck. I know how they feel."
Stiers called the employees in individually to let them know their checks would be delayed. It was a process the police chief, Chris Anderson, appreciated. He said he's never missed a paycheck before and he had confidence he would get paid.
"Pay me now or pay me later. I know I'll get paid," said Anderson.
The chief said all employees continued working, despite the late paychecks, to offer services to their citizens.
"Dispatchers, police officers all showed up for work. Nobody has called in, nobody has not showed up," Anderson said.
The mayor called the delay an internal error. Last week, the city paid its insurance company $16,000 before it paid the employees.
"What we should have done is held that check back and paid Blue Cross Blue Shield at a later date and taken care of our employees," he said.
The reason the city's accounts are so low stems from the lack of revenue this time of year. Property tax bills went out October 1st and they are waiting for the money to come in.
"It will not be an issue all of the time. This is a lean time of year. We expect our beer tax to come in $14,200. We'll get our sales tax which will be $18,000, so by tomorrow we'll have $58,000," Stiers said.
But the mayor said they shouldn't be cutting it so close. He said the books have been tight for months now and this could potentially happen again if they don't come up with more revenue.
"The city can't operate pay day to pay day. We need a nest egg to fall back on in tough times," he said. He called on the city council to find measures to increase revenue.
Jellico lost nearly $100,000 in alcohol taxes this year due to Kentucky cities allowing alcohol sales.
Revenue will be the hot topic discussed at a city council meeting Thursday at 6:30.

Kathleen A. Borowski
Birth date: December 30, 1933
Death date: February 1, 2012
Kathleen Anne Borowski, 78 passed away on February 1, 2012 to rest in peace beside her late husband Ralph Borowski who preceded her in death March 7, 1998.
Kathleen was born December 30, 1933 in Chippewa Falls, WI to Dr. Thomas O'Connor and Anna (Lebeis) O'Connor. It was in Bloomer she attended St. Paul's parochial school and then graduated from McDonnell High School in Chippewa Falls, WI. Mount Mary College would never be the same as she graduated in 1955 with a degree in History. Her dear college friends have remained life-long friends and their stories still haunt the halls of that revered institution.
After college Kathleen taught at St. Joseph's academy in Green Bay. She met Ralph Borowski at her beloved cottage on Lake Couderay as a seminarian acquaintance of her brother Jack. The story remains that Ralph left the seminary for Kathleen, Kathleen insisted it was Ralph's love of fishing that drew him to "her lake". They wed on August 17, 1957 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Bloomer, WI. They moved to Oshkosh where she taught at Sacred Heart High School then moved to Milwaukee, Brown Deer and finally Marshfield due to Ralph's various positions in hospital administration.
The fun continued with the births of each birth of their four children – Mary K. Borowski (Minneapolis, MN), Ann (Craig) Denney (Glenwood Springs, CO), Barbara Borowski (Mead, CO) and Thomas (Mary) Borowski (Mankato, MN). Kathleen was active in all their activities and served as the Our Lady of Peace School Board President. She was employed by Figi's for 25 years as a customer service representative.
Summers were spent at the lake from Memorial Day to Labor Day where she was a member of the Victory Heights Association and Couderay Lakes Association. Her other interests included Bridge, raking, lake activities (no need to expound), raking, reading, raking, bingo and the casinos, raking and travel. Kathleen travelled the globe with her daughter Mary visiting her Irish homeland, as well as many European countries, Egypt, Mexico and various Caribbean countries.
Besides her children, Kathleen is survived by her brother John (Barb) O'Connor of Stevensville MD, her sister in law Rita (Jim) Olson of Lancaster, PA, 8 grandchildren – Avery and Connor Denney; Cole, Bridget and Clair Stanton; Daniel, Joseph and Samuel Borowski and many nieces and nephews whom she loved very much.
Her family and friends can attest to Kathleen's Irish gift of gab and she loved being with all her dear friends from the cottage, her long time Marshfield friends, her loyal and caring neighbors in the Forest Ridge subdivision, especially Paul Helgerson. A special thanks to her dear friends Joan Hughes, Pat Wagner and Jan Freeman who helped so much while in hospice, and to all those who visited her at the cottage and the house while she battled cancer.
Mass of Christian burial will be 10:30am Monday, February 6, 2012 at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church with Rev. James Logan officiating. Burial will be at St. Catherine's Cemetery in Bloomer, WI.
Visitations will be on Monday at Our Lady of Peace from 9:30 am until time of service.
Rembs Funeral Home is assisting the Borowski Family.
A summer memorial service and Irish wake of sorts will be held at the cottage this summer after the yard is raked.
Memorials can be made to Our Lady of the Lake Chapel, Columbus High School of Marshfield, WI, Our Lady of Peach Catholic Church, Mount Mary College or the St. Francis Indian Mission in Hayward, WI.
Condolences may be sent online to www.rembsfh.com
9:30am until time of service on February 6, 2012 at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, Marshfied, WI
10:30am on February 6, 2012 at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, Marshfied, WI

Cerner calculates that the legislation will infuse $53.7 billion into the U.S. healthcare market, including $35 billion in Medicare and Medicaid incentives available to physicians and hospitals for the "meaningful use" of qualified electronic health record (EHR) systems, and $18.7 billion for research, condition management and other initiatives.
Cerner encourages eligible hospitals, eligible providers and physician practices to be proactive in implementing EHRs. In this way, healthcare organizations can maximize incentives and avoid Medicare reimbursement withholdings, which begin in 2015.
The need for systemic reform
Cerner believes this investment represents a unique opportunity to reconfigure the U.S. healthcare system and eliminate $500 billion each year in waste. This investment could create the level of systemic change America needs to address a number of serious issues and create a safer, more efficient healthcare network for generations to come.
At Cerner, we recognize that our success is rooted in the value of automating the healthcare process, and we are pleased to see that the Obama Administration and Congress understands an investment in healthcare information technology (HIT) benefits the entire U.S. economy.
Our industry brief, "The ABCs of Systemic Healthcare Reform," (or download PDF version) authored by Cerner Chairman and CEO Neal Patterson, illustrates how the rational and systematic application of HIT can slow or reverse the growth in U.S. healthcare spending over the next decade.
The brief guides our policy discussions with our partners in Congress and with state legislators. In pursuing these policies, we are working both to reboot the U.S. healthcare system and to create the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Contact us to see how Cerner can partner with your organization to transform healthcare delivery and become a good steward of this strategic HIT investment.

8/9/11 (Def Leppard) will be marked as the best day in RB history for me. HMX, major thanks for all this amazing DLC you put out!
Okay, i've been checking XNA sites and it says my country (Norway) is supported yet it still shows unavailable from Rock Band 3 stores when i try to view a RBN song.
Maybe harmonix didn't get the message?
Norwegian developers can sell indie games, but Norwegian customers can't buy indie games. It's a moot point however, since only US developers can sell RBN material.
Current supported countries to buy XNA games: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Singapore and Spain
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. But, does anyone know who the chart authors are for the song that's coming to RBN called "Pirates 'Til We Die"?

Four Corners and Urban Design – It Didn't Work for Basketball Either
I grew up in North Carolina in the 1980s which meant we ate up ACC basketball like most families eat cereal. It was during this time that Dean Smith, the legendary coach of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reigned. Known mainly for coaching Michael Jordan and the eponymous Dean Dome, he is also invented the shot clock with his famous Four Corners play. Four Corners was basically the lowest order of basketball strategy – staking men at four corners with a pivot in the middle to wear down the clock. It led to technical wins but was not a sustainable way to go about business.
What does "four corners" have to do with crappy suburban planning? Well, it's how a lot of mixed use development and redevelopment is taking place. As local governments begin to issue more permits where arterials meet, it feels like it should be coordinated planning, but it's not – it's rezoning of quadrants. It's the lowest level of planning strategy – a player on each corner and crosswalks at the pivotal intersection.
This may not seem like an important story, but it is. I want to tell with an example on the Sarasota-Manatee county border. I used a nifty app called Doodlecast Pro to make this 4 minute presentation. (I made one blunder, noting 1500 square feet instead of linear feet in one place).
What are the main takeaways and why are they important? The obvious:
- Florida's Development of Regional program has turned out to be more of a phasing and impact fee program – not a coordinated planning program. The DRI for this project is here.
- Form based codes (FBCs) would really have helped this project address the street.
- Walkscores for the housing are 14 – 26, even with the rich mix of uses and higher density housing.
The not so obvious:
The photo above shows where the cross walks are (green) and where they are not (red).
- Form based codes only work where the street is the connective tissue. In this project, the street design along Tuttle serves as a barrier (even to cars).
- My observation from suburban Florida is that asking a developer to design his or her project to address the design of another developer's project is still an uncertain (and in some cases hostile) concept.
- This project was designed and approved when the Growth Management Act was in its smart growth heyday. As the DRI phases came in, reviewers likely ticked off the boxes. Sidewalks – check. Use mix – check. Multi-family housing- check. We've got to do something better.
- The skill set for coordinating various parcels and streets is key to actually getting walkability, safety, mobility and economic outcomes. And in places like suburban Florida, it is a skill that never developed for many reasons. I think planners and land owners want to get better stuff, but the structure of the Growth Management Act, decades-old DRIs, transportation concurrency and the chase for retail as highest and best use spit out pods. I am interested in hearing from other Florida planners on this.
- The new provisions for sector plans in Florida start at 5000 acres. Yet great sprawl retrofit will be in much smaller increments. We need tools nationwide with a focus at 50- 150 acres in urbanizing areas and 150- 500 acres for sprawl repair.

is Facebook Connect worth the efforts? any benefits in long term? are there any negative consequences like slow page loads and increased page download times etc?
Okay so I just tried Facebook Connect on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ and it impressed me with the functionality. However, being a new user, I also found interface a bit clumsy and complicated.
Viral loop, branding and competitive advantage points are well taken. Looks like it adds value to both FB and independent websites.
But apart from sharing updates and fetching user info. What else is possible?
Can any one share their success stats like increase in page-views/visits etc...
Update 2:
Facebook has introduced a new home page news feed that only shows popular items. Probably this change affects the viral loop. Comments plz?

American Crossroads
American Crossroads is a 527 organization that in June 2010 established a spin-off 501(c) group called Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS). This is a Super PAC that practices fundraising, with anonymous donors, for the Republican Party. Former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie and former White House strategist Karl Rove were behind the formation of this Super PAC. It was very active in the 2010 U.S. midterm elections.[1] Its president is Steven J. Law, a former United States Deputy Secretary of Labor for President George W. Bush and the Chairman of the Board of Directors is former Republican National Committee chairman Mike Duncan. Advisers to the group include Senior Advisor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.

2010 elections[edit]
This section requires expansion. (November 2012) |
American Crossroads raised $28 million in the 2010 election cycle.[2][3][4]
2012 elections[edit]
In the 2012 election campaign, American Crossroads spent about $105 million in independent expenditures, and Crossroads GPS spent $70.8 million.[5] The Center for Responsive Politics found that American Crossroads spent money for or against 20 federal candidates in 14 election contests, with 3 of its preferred candidates winning, while Crossroads GPS spent money for or against 27 federal candidates in 24 elections, with 7 of its preferred candidates winning.[5] When results were counted on 6 November 2012, Karl Rove appeared on Fox News Channel and disputed the network's decision to predict that Barack Obama would defeat Mitt Romney in Ohio and be re-elected in the presidential election.[6] Barack Obama was re-elected and won in Ohio. American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS spent over $100 million to oppose Obama and support Romney.[5]
Rove defended Crossroads' performance in 2012, stating: "We did good things this year. But look, it's the way of politics that you're going to have some good years, and you're going to have some bad years."[7] A Romney campaign manager praised Crossroads and other Super PACs for "leveling the playing field [between Obama and Romney] in key target states".[7] Rove also accused the Obama campaign of "suppressing the vote" by denigrating Mitt Romney's character, business acumen, experience."[8] Crossroads' performance in the 2012 elections was criticised by conservative businessman Donald Trump,[7][9] and The Huffington Post reported dissatisfaction among anonymous donors to Crossroads.[10]
2013 Immigration Debate[edit]
Crossroads spent $100,000 on print ads promoting the legalization of illegal immigrants through the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013" (S.744).[11]
- Mike Duncan, Chairman of the Board
- Steven J. Law, President and CEO
- Jo Ann Davidson, Director
- Carl Forti, Political Director
- Karl Rove and Haley Barbour, Advisers [12]
- Jonathan Collegio, Communications Director
In 2012, former Republican FEC appointee Thomas J. Josefiak was reported to be a legal adviser to American Crossroads.[13]
According to Federal Election Commission, IRS reports, analysis by the independent Center for Responsive Politics and other sources, American Crossroads' major contributors have included:
- Bob J. Perry, President of Perry Homes, Houston, Texas ($7 million)
- B. Wayne Hughes, founder of Public Storage Inc ($2.3 million)
- Trevor Rees-Jones, President and CEO of Chief Oil and Gas, ($2 million)
- Robert Rowling, CEO of TRT Holdings, ($1 million)
- Dixie Rice Agricultural Corporation ($1 million)
- Southwest Louisiana Land ($1 million)
- Jerry Perenchio Living Trust ($1 million)
- American Financial Group, ($400,000)[14][15][16][17][18]
Crossroads GPS[edit]
Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS)[19] is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation that works in conjunction with American Crossroads. As a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, Crossroads GPS's primary purpose is the advancement of social welfare including public policy advocacy,[citation needed] although it is permitted to engage in political spending as well. Crossroads GPS is required to report what it spends, but it is not required to publicly disclose any donor information.[20]
Leadership of Crossroads GPS[edit]
Steven J. Law is also the president of Crossroads GPS. The Board of Directors includes Sally Vastola, Bobby Burchfield, and Rob Collins. Its Vice President for Policy is Steven Duffield.[21]
Debate over political activity by 501(c)(4) groups such as Crossroads GPS[edit]
In October 2010, Democratic Senator Richard Durbin wrote the IRS asking for it to investigate whether Crossroads GPS had violated its tax status.[22] Republican senators had previously written to the IRS stating that an investigation into only conservative groups, as Durbin would later request, would amount to a politically motivated tactic that would "chill the legitimate exercise of First Amendment rights."[23]
In November 2012, the non-profit watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed an ethics complaint with the Federal Election Commission and a corresponding letter with the FBI, alleging that Crossroads GPS failed to disclose the identities of contributors who donated $6 million specifically earmarked to fund independent expenditures for Josh Mandel's 2012 Ohio Senate race. Crossroads spokesman Jonathan Collegio dismissed the complaint as "frivolous."[24]
Crossroads GPS activity after the 2010 elections[edit]
Crossroads GPS demonstrated its interest in participating in non-electoral policy advocacy soon after the 2010 elections when it began running radio advertisements related to tax policy, urging Members of Congress to prevent tax hikes.[25]
Other organizations associated with American Crossroads[edit]
American Crossroads shares office space with American Action Network, a group that promotes "center-right policies."[16][not in citation given] Crossroads Media is a media services company that serves American Crossroads. Crossroads Media is run by Michael Dubke and David Carney, and Dubke also runs the Black Rock Group political consulting firm with Carl Forti, political director of American Crossroads. Dubke and Carney also founded Americans for Job Security, which shares office space with Crossroads Media and at least three other political consulting firms, including the Black Rock Group.[26]

AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems has received a $358 million award from the U.S. Army's Program Manager – Unmanned Aircraft Systems for engineering support and system upgrades that will create a fleet of 45 upgraded RQ-7B Shadow Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TUAS). Deliveries of 43 systems for the Army and two for the Marine Corps are expected to begin in late 2013. AAI is a division of Textron.
"The RQ-7B Shadow upgrade, dubbed V2 by the Army, includes enhancements to every part of the system, from the aircraft itself to the ground and support systems," says Senior Vice President & General Manager Steven Reid of AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems. "It represents all of the agility and performance needed for current mission requirements, as well as robust capabilities to meet future needs. As a result, the Shadow system will perform even more reliably in core areas including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; target designation; communications relay; and battlefield damage assessment; but it also will excel in new missions such as manned/unmanned teaming."
The new RQ-7B Shadow aircraft builds on the same architecture that has proven highly successful on the current Shadow aircraft throughout nearly 750,000 flight hours. It is multi-mission equipped with an integrated payload for day and night imagery, as well as communications relay and laser target designation capabilities. The aircraft also applies the Army's interoperability profiles, while vastly increasing communications bandwidth and enabling digital data delivery.
In addition, the upgraded Shadow aircraft has:
Addition of the UGCS and UGDT to the RQ-7B Shadow system supports the Army's vision for a universal unmanned aircraft systems operator, and streamlines the development of new mission sets including manned/unmanned teaming.
"With common hardware, software, controls and user interfaces, the UGCS has been proven interoperable with the Army's Gray Eagle®and Hunter assets, as well as the Shadow system," says Reid. "It also complies with unmanned aircraft systems interoperability recommendations including NATO Standardization Agreement 4586. Based on our battle-proven One System command and control architecture, the UGCS is 'universal' in the most fundamental sense."
The UGCS includes several features for ease of use, including:
"We've worked alongside our customers since the very first Shadow contract in 1999 to provide smart and reliable technologies to meet emerging mission needs," says Vice President, TUAS Vance King of AAI Unmanned Aircraft Systems. "Today's RQ-7B Shadow TUAS have completed more than 170,000 missions, and with the new configuration, every element of the system has been elevated with game-changing capabilities, including multi-mission flexibility and greater performance."

Pro JavaScript Design Patterns
Chapter 1: Expressive JavaScript
Why then do some still consider it to be a toy language, not worthy of the professional programmer? We think it is because people do not realize the full power of the language and how unique it is in the programming world today. JavaScript is a very expressive language, with some features that are uncommon to the C family of languages.
In this chapter we explore some of the features that make JavaScript so expressive. We look at how the language allows you to accomplish the same task in a number of different ways and how you can take alternative approaches to object-oriented programming by using concepts from functional programming. We discuss why you should use design patterns in the first place and how adapting them to JavaScript will make your code more efficient and easie to work with.

Second body found in Indian river
4:56pm Saturday 26th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
The body of the second of two British men who died during a trip on a crocodile-infested river in India has been found.
Ian Turton, from York, and Michael Easton, from Holland Park, west London, died after disappearing during an excursion on the Cauvery River, near Bangalore.
Mr Turton's body was discovered earlier this week.
On Saturday the Foreign Office said a second body has now been found. It said it was providing consular assistance to the men's families.
Tributes were paid to Mr Turton on Friday by his employer, US company Tenneco Automotive. Sandro Paparelli, vice-president and general manager of Tenneco Ride Control Europe, said: "Ian was a valued member of our advanced manufacturing and engineering team and worked in a variety of Tenneco locations to support the company's international expansion.
"He was a much-appreciated colleague and leaves many friends all over the Tenneco world. We are all profoundly saddened by this tragic loss of life and extend our deepest sympathies to Ian's family and friends."
Earlier this week Mr Turton's brother Nigel described him as a "very resourceful, adventurous man". He said he had spoken to his brother before the trip and that he was used to going on wild excursions around the world.
The 497-mile Cauvery River runs across three southern Indian states, including Tamil Nadu, where Mr Turton is reported to have been working for Tenneco. The river is said to be infested with crocodiles, leading to speculation that the men were attacked as they travelled down it.
The two friends are understood to have set out on the adventure last Saturday but failed to return and the emergency services were alerted on Monday. Their damaged canoe or raft was found on Wednesday, close to a known danger spot about 56 miles (90km) from Bangalore.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the death of two British nationals while on an excursion on the Cauvery River near Bangalore, India. We are providing consular assistance to the families."

Hi Kristin. They did have a long marriage. 64 years. I haven't talked about my paternal side really yet. Originally I thought I might do a separate blog for my paternal side but I think I will keep everyone one under the same roof. More coming soon. Thanks for compliment. Thanks Yvette for the compliment as well.

Louis' RevengeJames Hunter dragged his tired black boots up the wooden stairs. They creaked along with his sighs; every heavy step, every cloud of air that escaped his lips, every blink of his hooded eyes only said one thing : It had been a long day. Now, was a time for relaxing in his office, that overlooked the port where he proudly serviced the Royal Navy. Finally climbing the mountain that was the staircase, he tapped his door open and hobbled inside. His office? Dimly lit, but cozy. His desk? Trapped in an angry sea of papers and books, with the odd ink stain swimming in between. The large armchair behind him? Inviting. James took one measly glance at his work space and shrugged. Surely, sleep was more important than signing meaningless papers that didn't even apply to him. He sank deeply into the soft armchair and raised his feet to the chestnut coffee table that faced his desk. He was truly feeling Heaven on Earth.
