working 40 hours and a holiday plus overtime will i get overtime pay also in mass.

A second issue is the possibility that software could be tinkered with internally so as to cost us more without our knowing about it.
Our electric service comes from Georgia Power,...

The final numbers are in for 2013 and 988 people were killed on Tennessee highways for the year. That number should make us want to have a revolution, to get out on the highways in mass with flags and threats of sending people to the mental institutions but alas it hardly makes a dent in our physic.
By comparison 125 soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in 2013 and of course Tennessee is only one state. About 34,000 were killed in auto crashes nationwide.
