Clinton looks to other communities to determine data-center regulation

By Linda Cook,

16 hours ago

Clinton City Council members are looking to other communities as they consider how to regulate data centers.

Two council members traveled to New Albany, Ohio, this week to learn about data center impacts. They discussed water use, noise, lighting, infrastructure and long-term oversight.

The visit comes as Clinton debates new data-center regulations. The city plans public sessions to gather more input before finalizing an ordinance.

Before you head to the store to buy grapes again, here are 5 things that will be helpful to know. Besides the type of grape, this is the first thing I look at when shopping for grapes in the store. The freshest grapes in the grocery store are going to be ones where the stem is still green and is flexible. As the grapes age, the stem will lose its color and turn dark brown or black and become rigid. While the grapes may look and taste great, they won't last very long at that point so if you do buy them, eat them up quickly.

Florida Man’s Poop Fight Goes Completely Off the Rails.

Folks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Florida is the only place where a disagreement over dog poop can apparently escalate into a felony case, an assault with a scooter, and enough body-cam footage to make Netflix start taking notes.

America Has No President

Teddy Roosevelt. Harry Truman. Dwight Eisenhower. They were not always popular. They certainly never wielded “unitary executive” authority. But they all tried to lead our big, complicated nation and faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress.

The Corn-Buying Tricks Most Shoppers Never Learn

For years I picked corn the same way most people do. I'd grab a few ears, maybe peel one back to check, and hope for the best. Half the time I got home with something starchy and bland instead of sweet and juicy.

But take a couple hits, let the THC settle into your bloodstream like a warm tide, and suddenly your bed isn’t a bed. It’s a cloud. A womb. A gravitational event. A place where your bones finally stop negotiating with the world.
