| CIA Claims Cyberattacks At Fault In Blackouts
Check more often than once a night on your Google homepage man. This week has had more 'conspiracy' theory evoking stories (usually from asinine comment posters) than the last few, but the majority of the stories HAVE been business related. And unlike some blog viewers, I don't mind the volume of copyright/IP stories. It's a shame that there ARE that many, but I'm not looking at this site for entertainment like some others are.

That's all I ask.

Council OKs sales tax hike to pay off Coliseum bonds
The increase will add 25 cents on the purchase of $100 in goods.Six aldermen voted in favor of the measure, which included stipulations that all of the money generated by the increase go toward paying off the $29.5 million in Coliseum bonds and that the increase end in 2015. Aldermen Jim Fruin, Ward 9; Judy Stearns, Ward 4; and David Sage, Ward 2; voted against the increase.Despite his vote, Fruin said he was supportive of raising the sales tax.Fruin said he did not see the point to the stipulations suggested by Ward 7 Alderman Steven Purcell because the council can revisit the sales tax every year and Fruin added he did not want to tie the hands of future councils, which may need the money for emergencies. Fruin suggested the council agree that the priorities for the money should be the Coliseum bonds, rebuilding the city's cash reserves and adding to its road improvement budget.“I would have drawn it (the motion) differently but I am supportive of the sales tax," Fruin said.Those who voted for the increase were Purcell, Allen Gibson, Ward 1; Kevin Huette, Ward 3; Jim Finnegan, Ward 5; Karen Schmidt, Ward 6; and John Hanson, Ward 8.The city is facing a $3 million shortfall in its $75 million general fund.
Giants not alone in hunt for Hall
According to someone familiar with the team's opinion of Hall, who requested anonymity because the Giants haven't commented publicly on the possible trade, the Giants view him as a player whose passion and enthusiasm -- which often lead to his off-field comments -- are his best traits on the field. "I'm definitely outspoken, I'm definitely emotional," Hall said. "But I think in this game, especially at the position I play, you've got to be that. You've got to have a little bit of something to you. You're on an island and you're guarding some of the fiercest athletes in the world." The person familiar with the Giants' opinion of Hall said the team has been watching film of Hall and gathering as much information on him since the middle of this past season, when he publicly criticized former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino and suggested he wanted to be traded.
