August 4, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans barely spent more last month at retail businesses and restaurants after higher taxes cut their paychecks. The small increase suggests consumer spending may be weak in the January-March quarter.
The Commerce Department says retail sales ticked up 0.1 percent last month after a 0.5 percent rise in December. January's increase was the smallest in three months.
Sales fell at auto dealerships, clothing stores and furniture stores. They rose at home-improvement stores, gas stations and online retailers.
So-called core retail sales, which exclude autos, building materials, and gas stations, ticked up 0.2 percent. Economists pay close attention to core sales because they strip out the most volatile categories.
Nearly all working Americans are taking home less pay because of a temporary cut in Social Security taxes that expired last month.

text: After seeing what Melvin Did to Danzing, do y'all believe he has started to fulfill his potential or is this just a one off? If he fought Donald Cerrone, Joe Lauzon, Jim Miller again would the results be the same? Call it wishful thinking on my part but I saw a totally different Melvin last night. He wasn't bouncing around trying to act like Silva Ali, he was very measured and controlled. He used his movement and defense to avoid damage, and did not jump in. He worked behind a power jab and set everything up. His style will always leave his chin exposed, but he did a better job protecting it. I think if he builds on this performance and improves, he could be a problem for any lightweight out there. Most people here think Melvin's biggest problem is Melvin. So if he'd solved that problem, what are his limits now?

Despite a snow storm and a power outage, the Jefferson Board of Aldermen met Monday evening as scheduled and, with the mayor, treasurer, town clerk and one alderman absent, conducted what Alderman Mark Johnston called "the second shortest meeting in town history, maybe the third."
The board considered a single-item agenda: amendment of the 2010 Jefferson Water Shortage Response Plan to include additional trigger conditions.
Water Resources Director Tim Church said the plan, which meets all requirements of the N.C. Division of Water Resources, needed provisions specific to the town's municipal well output.
Jefferson gets its water from the South Fork of the New River and three wells, Church said. There are five levels of response in the current plan triggered by decreasing river depth and water intake, but no triggers in place for decreased well output.
"What if we lose a well? What if yields are down?" he said.
Church's proposed triggers for decreased well output were approved by the board, and an updated version of the Water Shortage Response Plan will be published in coming weeks, he said.
At Stage One of a water shortage, the public is encouraged to reduce usage, with no penalties for non-compliance. At Stage Five, water rationing is enforced, with $500 fines and discontinuation of service imposed for violations.
According to Church, the town has only once experienced a shortage that would trigger a response when a buried valve developed a leak causing a dip in water flow. Had the problem not been identified quickly, he said, Jefferson would have gone straight to Stage Two or Three of the plan, with mandatory reductions in water usage enforced.
The town's three municipal wells deliver a combined flow of 210 gallons per minute, Church said. Jefferson's 1,400 water consumers use 300,000-350,000 gallons per day.
Church also reported that modification of a BREMCO truck purchased for the water treatment plant had been accomplished for much less than anticipated. An initial $2,000 bid for removal of the truck's bucket and bed had been considered, he said, but a more motivated bidder offered to remove the bed for free and pay the town $500 for it.
Mounting of a water tank to the truck is near completion. "Now we'll have a new used sludge truck on the road," he said.

First of all, thank you so much for providing this "Ask the Expert Forum"! I appreciate the opportunity to ask you a question.
Four lovely children in six years with preeclampsia in three and still have mild proteinuria 9 mo postpartum
My basic question is: do I have kidney damage from getting preeclampsia 3 times or do I have a disease of the kidney?
I am 36 years old.
Baby #1 2001 girl 40 weeks 6 lb 14 oz term mild PE, no inducing needed, proteinuria was 1440 and bp 140/90 at worst, no complications
Baby #2 2003 boy, 40 weeks, 9 lb 3 oz, no PE at all.
Baby #3 2005 girl 36 weeks induced, 5 lb 4 oz but healthy, PE, urine protein at 3600, blood pressure worst read 160/100, labatolol postpartum for 5 mo.
07/2006 (9 mo postpartum) urine protein/creatinine ratio 0.19 and zero protein found in UA
Baby #4 2007 girl born 37 weeks induced, healthy, protein count 1460, labatolol postpartum 5 mo.
12/2007 24 hour protein 390, on 200 labatolol. Labatolol d/ced 3/08
08/2008 24 hour protein 253, bp 120/78 on no medications
Was blood-tested to rule out Lupus, etc in 2005 and 2007 and came out neg. I have microscopic hematuria too, but my mother and maternal grandmother also have/had it and neither have/had kidney problems (grandma died at almost 90). I think I've had the hematuria since before the babies came!! : )
How likely is it that I have IgA nephropathy? I am quite worried and scared about it. Is it possible that my kidneys were damaged after the pregnancies and are still in recovery?
Also, I am still nursing and have breastfeeding amenorrhea at 10 mo, how can breastfeeding/amenorrhea affect the proteinuria (if known)?
Overall I'm feeling pretty good, can run a 5k in under 30 minutes, I am 5'4" and weigh around 125. No swelling. I'm very health-conscious. Just awfully worried about this!
Please tell me what you think of my above case and my prognosis!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!!! If I was unclear anywhere please email! : ) God bless.

Today the Supreme Court, for a second time, passed judgment on political funding by invalidating a Montana law restricting campaign finance. This is referred to as the Citizens United case. Over the two years since the high court ruled on this issue, there have been countless articles, radio and television commentaries and comments on the internet (and in this paper) denouncing the contributions of corporations to political campaigns. I would like to point out that 95 percent of these commentaries fail to mention that the Supreme Court ruled that unions are just as free to contribute as corporations are. This aspect of the Supreme Court's opinion is continually left out.
In another opinion last week, the high court overturned a ruling by the ninth circuit court of appeals relating to campaign finance. At issue was that the SEIU, Service Employees International Union Local 1000, who issued a notice of dues increase to some California state employees (apparently you can opt out of union membership, but you still must pay dues for employment) with the intent of the collected funds to be used for political contributions of the union's choice. From the court's ruling:
"In June 2005, a public-sector union (SEIU) sent to California employees its annual Hudson notice, setting and capping monthly dues and estimating that 56.35 percent of its total expenditures in the coming year would be chargeable expenses. A nonmember had 30 days to object to full payment of dues but would still have to pay the chargeable portion. The notice stated that the fee was subject to increase without further notice."
To quote the intent of the funding from the Supreme Court's opinion, the additional funds were being assessed as an "Emergency Temporary Assessment to Build a Political Fight-Back Fund." Link provided to the entire Supreme Court's ruling www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-1121c4d6.pdf.
Carl Marx, the author of numerous 19th-century publications in support of socialist ideology, including co-authorship with Friedrich Engels of the Communist Manifesto, was a champion of the unionization of the working class. While the historical study of socialism is very interesting, and it's hard to argue that the unionization of workers during the industrial revolution was not needed, it is my opinion that union contributions to political parties are no different than contributions from corporations. How about from now on including references to both contributors?

Will you be using auto app updates on iOS 7? [Poll]
iOS 7 is bringing a ton of new features - see our complete iOS 7 preview - but one of the more controversial is automatic app updates in the App Store. The idea is simple enough. Instead of seeing a red, numbered badge on the App Store app, tapping it, then going in and manually updating all or specific apps, if enabled, it just downloads updates as they're ready and installs them automatically. Without any involvement on your part. The good side, it's effortless. The bad side, what if it automatically installs a buggy app?
That's the big fear. A server-side problem could be fixed almost immediately. However, given the delays for most developers - anyone not Facebook or Twitter - in getting even an expedited review, if an app update leads to crashes, feature failures, or any other problem, it won't be fixed for one to ten days.
But fear is normal. People are change adverse. Automatic updates could fix security issues people haven't bothered to update and get on their own. They could force developers to take yet one more look before uploading apps. They could force Apple to provide a better, faster process for developers to fix bugs when they do, inevitably occur.
It could also be the first step towards a Google Chrome-style model where apps are just updated constantly in the background, all the time, and everyone, every day, has the latest version. Discreet updates become a thing of the past, and new bits simply replace the old whenever they're ready.
I'll be turning them on with reckless abandon. I fear no future. But what'll it be for you? Can you just not wait for auto-updates, or are you going to turn them off as fast as Apple and iOS 7 turns them on? Vote in the poll and tell me why you voted the way you did in the comments.

Will you be using auto app updates on iOS 7? [Poll]
That was my only problem was the app update history would just stay there its nice to know what was updated but I didn't like not being able to delete them after reviewing the update
I like updating myself manually. I don't want to be holding the device when apps update transferring hundreds Of Megs per year through my hands just to update apps. I press update all and walk away. Healthier option. Everyone else can do what they feel they must.

I agree, auto-updating isn't necessary. I will decide if and when an app is updated.
Sent from the iMore App
It only updates the apps when you aren't using it. It works great.
Having to update has been a pain since using DHs Zoom before getting my iPad. I realized how much I appreciated them!
No, I prefer to see how the app does first. I have no problem manually updating apps now. It is as simple as opening the app store when it has the notification and clicking "update all".
Me too.
Not too mention, if it's not broken or affecting my phone, then why in the hell would I update it.
Now with that said, once they update the iOS then you have to go from there and tread lightly.
I even wait a couple weeks on OS updates, just to make sure they aren't buggy.
I have live by that philosophy for a while now on all my tech and it has save me a lot of head aches.
If I can designate certain apps to not auto update then I will gladly use it. But I won't use it at all if that option is not available. Why? Because I HATE Zite 2.x. And I refuse to use it, therefore do not ever want my Zite to auto update because I LOVE the original Zite Classic. And the publishers of Zite refuse to reissue Zite Classic as a separate app. So I'm stuck with manual updating for the foreseeable future unless you can tell the OS to NOT auto update apps I love as is.
I think it's pretty clear that Apple will never allow you to do selective updates. It's going to be an all or nothing proposition. [shrug] At least you still have the manual option and it's not that difficult.
How are developers going to handle large changes to apps? If they don't pop-up a screen at initial launch (after updating) to explain the changes it may jar the user as they weren't expecting interace elements to change. That's one of my main concerns.
Basically, I just want to *know* what is in the update and I won't ever see that info if it's all done automatically in the background.
Yes you will. Once updated the app still shows in the "updates" tab in the app store where you can expand it and see what's new.
Auto-updates has been absolutely awesome on iOS7 so far and I am sooo glad Apple finally added this simple feature!
With "Find My iPhone" and "Surfline" pushing out updates last night that broke the apps, it's such a touchy subject. I hope that the change will bring about the updates to the system you talk about Rene, fingers crossed.
I think it's safe to assume most developers who publish updates that auto-update causing the app to break or misbehave will fix it pretty quickly as to not lose business.
As Rene said, because of Apple's strict rules, it can take between 1-10 days for the fixed update to get pushed through. I've already moved on to a different surf app.
Absolutely! The days of wacky updates killing us are rare events in today's world. It really harkens back to the days of windows and crappy quality software. But, for many of us those old habits die hard. Our technical need for control is something deeply ingrained and it feels wrong not to feed these old habits. However, I realize now it's time for technology to work for me, and not me for it. Auto-update on on ON !
Sent from the iMore App
Good luck with train of thinking.
Let us know how life works for you when you stop making the choices too.
I won't be using them because I have a slow Internet connection. I don't want to have to download the same app twice. So I will continue to download to iTunes and sync my devices. Besides how many times have we seen apps get updated only to have the developer tell everyone not up update and also state a fix has already been submitted to Apple? The answer for me is more times than I have fingers. I will have my mom's iPhone set for auto updates since it's her only device and I don't want to have to update her apps for her anymore.
I think this is a very valid point. In addition for me, I have satellite internet at my house. So I've got (very restrictive) metered data even at home. We get "unlimited" data during the hours of 12-5am, so I'd want my phone to auto update between those hours only. I'm guessing that wont be a feature out of the box.
I voted "no" not because of the control but rather I want to know what apps are being updated and what the update is about. I have hundreds of apps on my phone, some of which I do not use a lot so when something is updated, I want to know what is new about the update beyond just "bug fixes". Without me manually doing this, I may not know of a cool new feature that would make me want to use the app more until I launch it and even then, it may not be immediately obvious what is new and improved.
Depends on how much it affects battery life.
Two good examples of auto update disasters, is Splash ID 7 where people lost all data, were put in trial mode, even tho they had a paid license, and other problems. 1 Password's last update had a bug where it would crash when syncing with Dropbox. Their demo mode also crashed. They even warned about not updating until a fix. There will also be times that an update will no longer work with your current iOS. Will auto update make developers beta test longer to make sure it works? Not so sure. I would rather keep it off.
Sent from the iMore App
No way. I just want an option to REMOVE apps with updates. Is there a way to do this now? No way do I want it to update an app. I have a weather app (weather channel) that they updated and made the better version a paid version, yet the 'update' turned the great (now paid) app into crud. What an update, right? not! But I was smart enough not to update/sync my iPhone with the newer installed 'update'd app...saved myself. So is there a way to clear available app updates? Or do I have to keep them on there, hoping not to ever tap on update (because then you can't even stop an update if hit accidently...how stupid).
i am already using it and it is a very convenient option
How do we know that the app we're choosing to update is buggy or not before updating it??? Do people wait for reviews for each update to see what they say?? I would like to have the update automatically ON but only if it gives you a history to see what has changed. And also an option to do it only on WIFI.
Sent from the iMore App
That's already how it works (update changelog in AppStore history and wifi updating)
I'm on the fence. I like the convenience but I'll miss the little "ooo" I get when I have an update badge.
Absolutely. I've been waiting for auto-updating for years. It's driven me nuts that iOS didn't have it. Then again to show how different some people can be, I have a friend who hates the idea.
I'm currently ruining ios7 beta 5 and I wish I would have payed more attention to this feature. I went to bed and awoke the next morning to find all my apps updated which is a pain. Although some people see it as useful I dont like the feature at all. I was always someone who waited to update any app to see wether it was truly and update or rather if the developer was making the app less useful for me. Well anyways lesson learned. And the auto-update button will remain off.
Nothing like a buggy update.
I won't use it. EVer!
Wow, a bunch said yes.
Can I have your credit card number?
Watch South Park?
Funny, but if you really think about it?!?!?!?!
Don't look at convenience as safety. It will kill you every time.
I prefer to read through the change log before updating apps (I've seen numerous instances where a developer posts a warning in the change log telling users not to install an update until a fix is posted).
I did turn it on for a day to see how it worked, and it is pretty nice. I received a notification in the morning that said 4 apps have been updated, tapped the notification, and that took me to the App Store Update tab which lists the updated apps.
Also, I noticed updated apps get a dot inserted at the beginning of the app name on the springboard. Pretty slick, and probably a good idea for most people to use auto updates.
Today Google released an update to their Google Authenticator app. One "feature" of the app was to forget all of your saved tokens. Auto update would have forced that app on me which would have locked me out of my 3 personal email accounts, one business account and my college account.
No thanks. I'm a big boy, I can update my own apps thank you very much.
What I try to do it do an iCloud backup and if I see the update is no good I go back to the previous backup and the backup will install the previous version

- Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk1 bayonet Review by Harq
- Rather than just a generic "spike bayonet", this only fits the above mentioned Lee-Enfield rifle of WWII fame. Once plentiful (and rightly so since they were made in large numbers) they are now getting scarce. Bayonet engages the lugs machined into the last 2 inches or so of the barrel and releases with a thumb operated spring catch. (Posted on 3/18/12)
