text: In 2008, the New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico [campaign website, in Spanish], a pro-statehood party whose members primarily affiliate with the US Republican Party, won local elections by a wide margin, winning the offices of governor and resident commissioner and an absolute majority in the territorial legislature. In 2007, The UN Special Committee on Decolonization [official website] called on the US [press release] to quickly resolve the island's political status and release political prisoners. Puerto Ricans last voted on the status of the island in 1998 [results], with the "None of the Above" option winning 50.3 percent, statehood garnering 46.5 percent of the vote, and independence only 2.5 percent. Referendums were also held in 1993 and 1967 [results], in which maintaining the current political status won over statehood, and independence placed at a distant third. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated US territory, and its current political status was adopted in 1952, after Congress approved the Puerto Rican Constitution [text]. The constitution established the island as a US commonwealth, causing the UN General Assembly to remove [Resolution 748 text, PDF] the island's categorization as a "non-self governing territory." Puerto Ricans have been US citizens since 1917, and the island has been under US control since 1898.

See More Items in the Recent File / Project Lists in Visual Studio 2005
The start page for Visual Studio 2005 shows only the last 8 projects by default. How that is supposed to make sense is beyond me. The Recent Files and Recent Projects list on the File menu are also extremely limited.
The good thing is that this is an easy fix.
Go to Tools \ Options \ Environment \ General, as you can see in the screenshot:
Just update the Recent files section with the amount of items that you want to see.

That's great, but how dow you change the Open / New links at the bottom of the Recent project box to also show Web Site – currently it only allows links to Projects ??
I have "garbage" items listed in the Recent Projects list on the Startup page in Visual Studio 2005. How do I clean up the list?
Thats great…!!
To put web sites in the recent project list, simply use the menu File > Open Web Site, select File System, find the website folder and click the Open button. This will only work for web site folders that you have access to.
Thanks, a nice tip.

Updated 2:28 p.m. Monday with statement from Rep. Bob Filner.
Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, continues to hold a lead over Councilman Carl DeMaio in the race for mayor of San Diego, according to a poll released Monday.
The poll, conducted by Survey USA on behalf of 10News, showed that 47 percent of 601 likely voters preferred Filner to 40 percent for DeMaio. Another 13 percent were undecided.
Compared to last month's poll, Filner lost three percentage points while DeMaio gained two.
The findings showed a wide gender gap between the two candidates. Filner led among women, 50 percent to 43 percent, while DeMaio had an advantage among men, 46 percent to 35 percent.
The survey also found that while the candidates were tied at 43 percent for voters under the age of 50, older voters preferred Filner by a 51-to-37 percent margin.
Filner also led by 5 percent among moderates, 13 percent among those who voted for Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher in the primary election, and 12 percent among those who voted for District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis in June.
The DeMaio campaign could point to two positive signs. The nearly one- quarter of those surveyed who have already returned ballots favored the councilman 47 percent to 42 percent.
Also, 46 percent of those included in the poll identified themselves as Democrats, 6 points higher than are registered in the city, according to figures from the county Registrar of Voters Office. Republicans were over-sampled by 3 percent.
The telephone canvassing was conducted Friday through Sunday.
Filner released a statement about the poll, saying:
"As I've said before, the only poll that counts is the one on Election Day. But I'm encouraged that after three weeks of negative attack ads by DeMaio's special interest backers, we're still leading. I think San Diego voters have figured out who's really behind DeMaio and they want a mayor who will put neighborhoods first, not special interests."

Sunday Brunch: Fried Fish with Cheddar-Thyme Grits
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Grits make a great oatmeal alternative for those of us who want something savory in the morning, but still need something easy to digest. This recipe uses grits two ways: the first in the classic sense, just adding cheddar cheese and thyme. And the second as a coating for fish before frying.
A few bits of cilantro and a wedge of lime adds some lightness and acidity that elevate enough to something you may even consider preparing for a quick weeknight supper No matter what time of day it may be, make sure there is plenty of cold beer to go alongside.

"Cruzin'" to the White House? Perhaps not.
I have read that the master plan for shutting down the "gummint" (LBJ and POGO speak) was the main reason Ted Cruz played his cards the way he did. His version of Texas Hold 'em & squeeze didn't work this time, but I wouldn't put it past him and his Koch brothers support to try again.
I have noticed that, for some people, getting attention is as important as intelligent ideas, especially for the tea party. So, if I'm right, the yellers and fact-less farm team will hustle and scam again.
Here is my proposed Republic of Tea Party ticket for 2016 — Ted Cruz for president, Michele Bachmann or Rand Paul for V.P., and Sarah Palin for secretary of state. Maybe they can find a place for Rick Perry, the Texas governor who is trying to cut veterans' Medicaid benefits. Put him into the cabinet overseeing Health & Human Services, since his state has the most uninsured people. That qualifies him for the Bizarro government.
Keeping with that theme, Sen. Cruz looks to me like the square-jawed villain in one of the old Superman movies, though with a few more years of drinking, he could easily morph into McCarthy; the rhetoric is so close.
I can't tell what they will do, after the insurance website gets fixed. It will. Of course, the distraction of the shutdown most likely didn't help, but you know how hard it is to focus on the rising water when the sharks are circling.
So, the Republicans shut down the government, costing $24 billion, and then they complain because the thing over which they were so belligerent has a glitch. Some fine hypocrisy, I believe.
Be afraid, be very afraid!

Rahiel Tesfamariam is a writer, social activist, public theologian and cultural critic. She is the Founder/Publisher of Urban Cusp, a cutting-edge online lifestyle magazine highlighting progressive urban culture, faith, social change and global awareness. Rahiel is also a columnist for The Washington Post.
Born in war-torn Eritrea a decade prior to independence, Rahiel Tesfamariam's roots can be traced off the coast of the Red Sea. As a product of her nation's tenacious struggle for self-determination, she went on to earn a B.A. in American Studies from Stanford University and a Master of Divinity from Yale University, graduating magna cum laude.
As a youth, Rahiel attended public schools in the South Bronx and the District of Columbia. Through the years, she was the recipient of countless awards recognizing her writing and oratorical skills, receiving one of her greatest honors from the National Association of Title I Schools who honored her with the Distinguished Graduate of Washington, D.C. Award in 2001. Two years later, she was headed to Oxford University for an overseas studies program.
As a lifelong writer, Rahiel interned with National Geographic Society and Time Inc. before being appointed, at age 23, the youngest editor-in-chief in the history of The Washington Informer, an African American-owned newspaper founded in 1964 in the nation's capital. While at The Informer, Rahiel joined a 12-person delegation that traveled to Khartoum and the conflict-ridden region of Darfur in Sudan on a fact-finding mission.
It was also during this time that she served as co-Youth Advisor for the NAACP D.C. Youth Council and became involved in prison ministry programs throughout the East Coast. After her tenure as editor, Rahiel briefly taught at a D.C. public charter school and served as a nonprofit consultant, organizing conferences at local high schools and serving as coordinator of "40 Days of Increased Peace," a D.C. city-wide anti-violence youth initiative.
In 2006, Rahiel was licensed as a minister and started at Yale Divinity School after being named the school's inaugural William Sloane Coffin, Jr. Scholar for Peace and Justice. While there, she chaired several campus organizations, including the Yale Committee on Social Justice and the Yale Committee on Racial Equality (CORE); founded the student newsletter CORE News; served as Graduate Assistant to the Dean of the Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale (known as "The House"); and traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, Asia and South America for various research and service projects. Most notably, she was part of a 100-person Yale delegation to China in 2007 per invitation of President Hu Jintao. This was also the period in which Tesfamariam interned with the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign and a farmworker labor movement in Florida, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.
Prior to graduation, Rahiel began consulting for the Fund for Theological Education on young adult vocational discernment and Brown University Professor Tricia Rose on progressive Christian strategies for Hip-Hop. In January 2011, Tesfamariam resigned from her position as the Region 1 Lead Entity Director at East of the River Clergy Police Community Partnership where she managed a $4M program budget and oversaw the Rising Youth Coalition, a community-based continuum of care made up of 40 agencies that serviced over 450 youth committed to the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS), the District of Columbia's cabinet level juvenile justice agency.
Rahiel has been named a 2014 Future for Good by the Institute for the Future, a 2014 "Who's Got Next" award recipient by the National Action Network, a 2013 GIVE1 Project Global Leadership Fellow, the 2012 IMPACT Leader of the Year, a 2012 Beatitudes Society Fellow, a 2010 Practical Visionary by The Institute for the Future, and a "Top 40 Under 40" by the EnVest Foundation. She has been featured on Press TV, Washington Watch with Roland Martin, Our World with Black Enterprise, HuffPost Live, The Geraldo Rivera Radio Show, SiriusXM, and more. Most recently, she was one of forty women published in the book Talking Taboo: American Christian Women Get Frank About Faith.
The world-renowned nonprofit Black Girls Rock!, Inc. featured Rahiel on their annual awards show on BET in 2013, saluting "her tireless dedication to global issues, community activism and youth advocacy." Black Girls Rock! recognized Rahiel because she "leads with her faith, inspiring awareness and inciting change around the world."

"In 'How to Build a Time Machine' we start each chapter with an affirmation; 'Yes, time travel is possible …'. There's clarification, 'ifs', often detailed historic references; consequences; and then the practicalities – at which point you might have the feeling that it's not possible after all. But then there's the 'Or is it?', and one cannot but take the bait and turn the page (loop). To name but a few, what does the following have to do with time-travel?: near-light speed travel; an infinitely long cylinder built from dust - or a less ambitious one (!) built from Neutron stars; Wormholes; Paradoxes; Black/White Holes; Antimatter; Dark Energy…? If you're like me when presented with such a list - appetite whet to the point of drooling - this is a book written with you in mind! One last and very important point: Clegg is both a writer and a Physicist; and it's as a writer – one who is able to communicate physics to the non-specialist – and that makes this book so very enjoyable. The hard stuff is there; between the lines; but we're not asked to deal with it – Clegg leads us through, in his own imitable style! There are just two equations: Einstein's E=MC2 (of course!), and Maxwell's – the latter because they're so "beautifully spare and simple looking". Perfect." - Dr. Peet Morris of Oxford University

Now that the regular season is in full swing, the Fantasy Doctor will be making regular house calls, answering readers' fantasy questions each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Send your questions to the Doc at firstname.lastname@example.com.
My general rule of thumb is to never bench a star in a prime-time game, and this week, I'm actually questioning that. I've got Tom Brady playing in the Monday-night game, but I've also got Matt Cassel with Denver on the schedule. This is the last week before the playoffs for us, and a few points could make the difference. Do I take Brady on Monday night, or do I really believe in what Cassel has shown lately and play him in a favorable matchup? Thanks.
— Luke, Lake In The Hills, Ill.
This is an extremely tough call, Luke, and a few weeks ago my answer might have been different. But right now, I wouldn't put Brady on the bench no matter what the matchup.
Not only is he coming off a 341-yard, four-TD effort at Detroit, but he has been on fire in recent weeks. Brady has 11 TDs and no interceptions in his last four games and is looking much more like a fantasy superstar than he was during the middle portion of the campaign. I know he has a difficult matchup against the Jets, but he had a respectable 248 yards, two TDs and two INTs against them earlier this season and certainly will be at his best in a critical game on Monday night. I'd be afraid to sit him.
Cassel, meanwhile, has been one of the league's hottest passers during the past couple months and torched the Broncos the last time he faced them. However, odds are he won't be forced to throw anywhere near 53 passes this time around, as the Chiefs aren't going to fall behind big and abandon the run. I'd expect Cassel to have a solid game, but I'm not ready to recommend him over Brady.
For this week I'm not sure who to play at tight end. I have Vernon Davis, Kellen Winslow and Kevin Boss. Who do you think would be the best play? Thanks.
— Jim
You have some decent options this week, Jim, but I'd have trouble telling you to sit Davis.
I know he has done little the past two weeks, but he's still the go-to target on the 49ers' offense. It's clear that QB Troy Smith wants to get him the ball in the red zone, and with RB Frank Gore out for the season, it's likely that Davis will see his targets increase even more. With San Francisco likely to be playing from behind, Smith should be forced to chuck it often, and Davis will be a frequent recipient.
I actually like Boss quite a bit this week as well, simply because the Giants are so depleted at wide receiver that QB Eli Manning will have no choice but to involve his tight end. Boss had eight targets last week and now gets to face a lousy Redskins secondary, but I still would prefer the upside of Davis, who is known to have monster games from time to time. Winslow hasn't done enough this season to deserve serious consideration.

SEABROOK — Although police had little to add yesterday about the investigation into the circumstances that led to a True Road family being rushed to Boston hospitals Tuesday night, there is good news concerning the health of the two young children involved.
"Our understanding is that the children are out of the hospital and staying with relatives," Seabrook police Chief Lee Bitomske said yesterday.
According to a press release issued by County Attorney Jim Reams on Wednesday morning, Seabrook police responded to 15 True Road on a medical emergency about 7 p.m. on Tuesday. The call resulted in Wendy Wright and her 6- and 7-year-old children being transported to Boston hospitals.
Nine Seabrook officers and firefighters responded to the emergency call; however, neither Reams nor Seabrook police would comment further on the incident, saying only that the case was under investigation. At this point, no arrests have been made.
Bitomske said Reams' office was called in as a matter of procedure.
"In an investigative situation like this one, our protocol requires that we inform the county attorney's office and that's what we did," Bitomske said on Wednesday. "Seabrook is doing the investigation on this incident with the assistance of the county attorney."
Bitomske said police are still piecing together the circumstances of the case, and can't comment while an active investigation is ongoing.
"Seabrook police are interviewing witnesses, while still being assisted by the Rockingham County Attorney's Office," Bitomske said yesterday.
Daily News reporter Dave Rogers contributed to this report.

Last Thursday, just after 4:00am, the Alaska State Troopers responded to the Wildwood Correctional Facility in Kenai for a reported assault.
According to the State Troopers, subsequent investigation revealed that a 22-year-old female inmate and a 32-year-old female inmate started fighting over the use of a telephone.
Medical attention wasn't needed for either inmate, and further charges are being forwarded to the District Attorney's office for review.
** Comments on this story do not represent the thoughts and / or opinions of KSRM Radio Group, Staff, Management or Sponsors. **
Question ? Why would You need the State Troopers to respond to Wildwood ?
Where are the Corrections Officers ? The Corrections Officers have Arrest Authority don't they ?
Confused by this ? SPW
CO's are not law enforcement officers. Any criminal charges stemming from this would have to be investigated by troopers and forwarded to the DA's office. Wildwood is located in the Troopers enforcement area, not Kenai PD's.
AST investigates all crimes reported in State correctional facilities, no geography involved. Troopers only involve themselves after the fact, the CO's take care of the immediate problems.

I write about economics, politics, media, business and film.
We keep hearing that the car industry in Detroit is "on the rebound" or that "Detroit is back." In fact, the city itself is on its back, and it's bounding toward bankruptcy or a state takeover. How did one of America's most storied cities land in this predicament? While the city population has shrunk (from a peak population of 1.8 million in 1950 to 714,000 in the last census), it has hardly reduced the government that serves it. All you really need to know about Detroit, which is facing a $327 million budget gap, is that last year it was discovered to still be paying for a "horseshoer" (or farrier) on the Detroit Water & Sewer Department (DWSD) payroll. This individual costs some $56,000 in pay and benefits, despite the city not having any horses to shoe in his department.
Union bosses insisted the DWSD (average compensation: $86,000) needs more, not fewer, such unionized employees, a view associated with a broad spectrum of thinkers from Jimmy Hoffa to the Keynesians running the United States. The DWSD has more than twice as many employees per gallon of water pumped as that other paragon of Midwestern governance, Chicago. An independent report said four out of five employees in the bloated department were redundant and discovered a thicket of union regulations driving up costs. Plumbers complained that, due to union work rules, they had to wait to fix pipes until duly authorized "operators" came along first to shut them off.
The Detroit Federation of Teachers, which enjoys rich pay packages (corrected for purchasing power, Michigan teachers are the best paid in the nation, reported the Mackinac Center for Policy Policy), would do the UAW proud. Its employees pay only ten percent of the cost of their insurance premiums. While they take extravagant numbers of sick days or personal days — 8 per teacher — they also cash in on "unused sick days" to the tune of $14.5 million a year. What other industries are so surprised when you aren't sick that they pay you a bonus? Then again, we're talking about a group that paid people to quit — $4.1. million in "termination bonuses" were handed out to teachers' union members in 2010-2011. And last December the city inexplicably sent out archaic "longevity bonuses" ranging from $150 to $750 depending on years of service for non-union municipal employees, even though the benefit was removed for unionized employees in 2009.
The Detroit Service Employees' International Union did even better, soaking individuals for its own purposes. It arranged to corral thousands of people receiving Medicaid payments to care for sick friends or relatives into its union, for the purpose of charging these people dues, which it siphons directly from the Medicaid checks. So far SEIU has raked in $34 million this way.
From 2008 to 2011, health insurance costs for Detroit employees and retirees have jumped 62% to $186 million a year, the Detroit Free Press reported. Pension contributions in that period jumped 140 percent, from $50 million to $120 million.
To fight for their lavish compensation, unions have proven prepared to fight back with any weapon at hand. Appointing emergency financial managers is "just like being in the slave days," complained Iris Salters, the president of the Michigan Education Association.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has 30 days to decide whether to appoint a city emergency manager to try to save Detroit from the catastrophe presided over by elected officials. Such a fixer would have the power to break Detroit's union contracts and fire political figures. Snyder means business: He's already interviewed candidates.
Eminem famously said, in a Super Bowl commercial, "This is the motor city, and this is what we do."
What Detroit does is give unions the keys to the treasury until nothing is left. That day has come, and their own success is killing unions. What can save Detroit? Nothing, probably, though a group of waggish libertarians proposed buying the Detroit river's dilapidated park Belle Isle for $1 billion (goodbye, budget deficit! For a couple of years, at least) and turning it into a lightly-regulated capitalist wonderland: Macau of Michigan. The New York Times predictably mocked the scheme (because, obviously, Hong Kong and Singapore are doing so badly) but what other plan could make Detroit safe for capitalism again? Detroit is already a union wasteland. It could hardly do any worse if it became home to Galt's Gulch.
Call Detroit what it is–Starnesville.
I am for the Galt's Gulch plan. It would be an interesting experiment and a hoot to watch. If they could negotiate a waiver on the minimum wage in Detroit that would be good too. None of those kids are going to get work given their low qualifications.
Detroit is what America will look like with 4 more years of Obama………
Detroit is what America will look like in 4 years – Liberal insanity at work….
Macau of Michigan? So, it's going to be a casino district?
Unions are sure fun, let's bankrupt the citizens we serve for our own selfish interests. Wow. There is a horseshoer on the union payroll? LOL!!! And pre-plumbers that turn off the water so the plumber can then do their job? Is there another post-plumber that turns it back on?
Unions have never been more crooked and self-serving, they are so far away from their original intended purpose. Someone please convince me I'm wrong. This kind of stuff happening in the private sector would result in lawsuits and convictions! Tell me how it isn't fraud?
I like the gist of the article, but I have to admit, getting alotted "personal days" in lieu of sick days, which you can use for anything you want, has been a growing trend in private industries – including very un-unionized cutthroat ones like tech.
It is a clever incentive, as it fixes costs within a bound for the employer, and the employee is rewarded how he chooses – free time or extra money at end of year – depending on his/her circumstance. It also makes sure everybody, from the guy who takes paid days off to the guy who shows up everyday, is compensated the same (for a given payscale). I was actually surprised that a union outift is even 'progressive' enough to have such a modern, self-determining component in the bennies package.
Of course, the Medicaid scam and horseshoer and all the rest are frankly, no surprise. And in irony of irony about the "slave days" comment, its good to be black in Alabama building Benzes sans union. Maybe the plantation moved north along with the Great Migration and poor Iris Salters is just slow – like in most things I bet – on the uptake.
Like a cancer metastasizing until it eats the all the flesh and kills off its host.
Obama,s and the Democrats plan for the Nation!
Poverty, government dependency and Democrat votes are Obama,s and the Democrats objective! Amnesty and chain immigration will increase the number of all three by many, many millions.
Normal people thinks no one would be diabolic and sick enough to purposely use policies to reduce the Nation and its population to a state of Poverty, Crime, Misery and Corruption, but you would be wrong!
If reducing Calif. and this Nation to a suburb of Mexico and this Nation to a bankrupt Third World Slum is necessary to accomplish their goal that is a price Obama & the Democrats are more than willing to pay.
The more Democrats can decrease Education achievement, Reasoning ability, Punish success, Reward failure and increase, Poverty, Welfare and the Entitlement mentality the more Democrat voters they make.
The last piece to achieving their goals of controlling this Nation is nearly in place.
Amnesty for the 12 to 30 million criminals and uneducated invading Illegal Aliens. That with chain Immigration for the ones still left in Mexico and Latin American and with a Prolific breeding rate will assure Red States are turned blue and a Democrat majority forever with a Third World Slum here of Crime, Corruption, Poverty and Misery modeled on Mexico and controlled by the Socialist/Democrat party of Northern Mexico!
We know Obama loves the poor, because he has made so many of them and they vote for Democrats. Poverty has soared under Obama, with the number of Americans in poverty increasing to the highest level in the more than 50 years that the Census Bureau has been tracking poverty. Over the last 5 years, the number in poverty has increased by nearly 31%, to 49.7 million, with the poverty rate climbing by over 30% to 16.1%. Obama has also been the food stamp President, with the number on food stamps increasing during his Administration to an all time record high of 47.7 million, up 80% over the past 5 years.
It is all about Power, Control and the Democrat party and how to use lies,
false compassion, poverty and government dependency to enslave a free people and a great Nation!
Bankruptcy would be good – they can cancel all of the unsustainable contracts, unlike the Auto Bailout where they stole from the Bond Investors and gave the money to the unions.
Detroit did this to itself.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — For at least the next month, crews will be removing loose rocks, boulders and other items from the Niagara Gorge near the Gorge Discovery Center in Niagara Falls State Park.
A release issued Monday by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation characterized the rock-scaling project as a process regularly done in the gorge to "protect those using the trails for recreational purposes" from being hit by falling debris.
Crews equipped with safety harnesses will be entering the gorge to remove loose materials that could pose hazards. The process is expected to take between four and six weeks to complete.
The latest round of rock-scaling is being financed by the Maid of the Mist Corp. is part of the memorandum of understanding which was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and James Glynn, the owner of the Maid of the Mist in December.
Cuomo and Glynn entered into an agreement to allow the company to store its fleet at the Schoellkopf Power Station site. That deal was struck in response to an earlier decision by the Niagara Parks Commission in Canada which agreed to provide exclusive rights for the use of existing boat-docking facilities in Canada to a new tour company, Hornblower Cruises of California. Hornblower's contract takes effect in 2014.
As part of the Maid's agreement with the state, the company has agreed to invest $32 million into the NYPA-owned Schoellkopf site. The project calls for the development of new storage buildings and a new boat elevator as well as elements designed to enhance access to existing hiking trails in the gorge.
In the release issued on Monday, state parks acknowledged that the latest round of rock-scaling work is being done in conjunction with the Maid. State parks officials said the appropriate permits for the rock-scaling work have been issued by state parks and the New York Power Authority.
State parks spokesperson Angela Berti referred questions about the Maid's involvement to a spokesman for Glynn.

The first six months of 2014 have already passed (time flies when you're having… to sit through dozens of movies each week???) and there are already pundits pronouncing this the worst year ever, film wise. They point to the lackluster box office, the continuing success of bloated Summer tentpoles, and the inability for those seeking sanctuary from such spectacle to find realistic alternative outlets.
On the other hand, there have been a bevy of interesting efforts released this year that have either flown under the radar or received their standard Cineplex due, confirming that excellence is where you find it, not where it's forced into some genre pigeonhole that Hollywood has micromanaged to influence international receipts. Indeed, the foreign film market is becoming so important, and profitable, for the Tinseltown suits that they frequently forget that US audiences count, too.

Aug. 15, 2012 — Jail consultant Joey Stanton will be off the county payroll at the end of this week, Carter Judge-Executive Charles Wallace confirmed Wednesday afternoon to the Journal-Times.
Stanton had been employed to assist Carter and Boyd counties in developing plans for a regional jail authority to serve both counties.
He also reportedly is ending his relationship with Boyd Fiscal Court.
Contacted later Wednesday, Stanton declined to comment.
Fiscal Court members in each county have approved ordinances to create the authority but their actions have been challenged in court.
The Kentucky Jailers Association, Carter Jailer R. W. Boggs and Boyd Jailer Joe Burchett filed suit in Franklin Circuit Court to invalidate the agreement to establish a regional jail authority.
Wallace said the lawsuit is delaying the jail project and there is no work for Stanton to perform at this time.
"We can always bring him back if we need further assistance," he said.

I like it
I looked at both the Mophie battery pack and the Boostcase – decided on the Boostcase because it comes with an iPhone 5s case desi I looked at both the Mophie battery pack and the Boostcase – decided on the Boostcase because it comes with an iPhone 5s case designed to connect the phone to the battery (with the Mophie you would have to remove any iPhone case every time you wanted to mount the battery to the phone). I've used this Boostcase (2200 mAh battery) two months now for heavy iPhone GPS use and screen-on time, and it still has battery capacity to spare at the end of the day. A light on the back flashes when charging and steady light when charged. The battery pack is coated with a rubbery material that improves grip. My only criticism of the Boostcase is that the iPhone case they supply has a smooth plastic finish – I would prefer a rougher plastic or a rubbery coating to make the phone with just the case (and no battery) more secure in my hand - hence 4 stars. …

Having the option to still have a slim case when not using the extra battery is great. But when the extra battery is mounted on, some headphones will need a jack.

Don't take this out in the sun...
I loved the case for the first few weeks that I had it. The slim case was great for when I didn't need a battery, and then the bat I loved the case for the first few weeks that I had it. The slim case was great for when I didn't need a battery, and then the battery delivered all the promises on the packaging.
Then I took it to the beach. I was using my phone to listen to music and had it in my bag so I wouldn't get the classic "too hot!" message. As soon as I got back from the beach I went to use it and noticed that the outside layer of the case was peeling around the edges. Some was actually peeling off and was all over my hands. Really disappointing.
Bottom line: Great phone case, but don't take out into the heat. I'm guessing I may need to take it off for the rest of the summer if it's just going to ruin the case. …

Really Nice Case!
I'm not certain where some of the people that have reviewed this case are getting their info from. Once reviewer talked about the I'm not certain where some of the people that have reviewed this case are getting their info from. Once reviewer talked about the charging cord being different from any other one you might have. The Boost Case uses a standard micro USB to charge the case....it is universal, you can use it to charge the case, a camera, and anything else that uses a micro usb. So any other micro usb cord you have around will work as an extra cord when you travel or to keep at work. The charging case itself is very practical and although it adds some bulk, it's not terrible. I typically keep mine on all the time, but you do have the option to remove the battery and keep the slim case on which is nice. I will agree that I wish it had the option to sync when you plug into iTunes, but it's easy enough to remove the battery from the slim case and just plug the phone into your computer and sync it like you normally would. Inconvenient, but again, not terrible. Also, the packaging says you'll get up to 150%, but realistically, it's about 100% charge for the 2200 mhz and probably 70-80% for the 1500 mhz which is on par with the Mophie Air and Juice pack cases. I like the variety of colors offered by the boost case and like the feel of Boost over the Mophie cases. They are not as bulky. I have the plain black and white, which is a nice combo and the black battery is matte so it's not slippery and has a good feel and grip. I haven't experienced issues on my unit, but I felt I had to clarify some reviews with information that was not accurate with regard to the charging cords (USB)...etc. …

Finn's late rally unable to prevent disappointing day for England (From Watford Observer)

Steven Finn scores a gutsy 20 runs as England slip to 167 all-out on Day Two of the first test against New Zealand
Updated 10:54am Thursday 7th March 2013 in Sport
Steven Finn scored a gutsy 20 runs but was unable to prevent England slipping to 167 all-out on Day Two of the first test against New Zealand.
The Watford-born fast bowler is not renowned for his batting but rose to the challenge where his most of his teammates higher up the order had failed, putting on 20 runs in 40 balls.
Finn was eventually caught by Hamish Rutherford off the bowling of Neil Wagner before taking up the task of restricting New Zealand's first innings total.
England finished the day wicketless with the Kiwis in command on 131 but Finn was probably the pick of the struggling attack, bowling 12 overs for 35 runs with two maidens.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
WDJT Transmitter Flooded
WDJT-TV (Channel 58) was still off the air Friday morning.
The storm that dropped more than seven inches of rain on the area flooded the station's Lincoln Creek transmitter site. Rainfall at the site was estimated at 6 to 8 inches.
The station is currently being broadcast on Channel 4.3 the WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) digital channel, replacing COOL TV.
"We are happy to help a fellow broadcaster while they make repairs to their transmission facility," said Steve Wexler, vice present of radio and television for Journal Broadcast Group. "In fact, CBS 58 provided us with a similar service a couple years ago when storms disrupted our signal as well."
WDJT is owned by Weigel Brodcasting. WMLW-TV, MeTV, THIS TV, Shorewest TV and Telemundo Wisconsin, all owned by Weigel, are also off the air.

CALGARY - The $6.1-billion takeover of Canada's Viterra Inc. (TSX:VT) by Swiss commodity trader Glencore International has been approved by China's ministry of commerce.
The decision, announced Friday, is the final regulatory step required for Glencore to buy Viterra, a Regina-based international grain handler that does business in China in addition to major operations in Canada, Australia, the United States and elsewhere.
As a result of the final approval, Glencore expects the effective closing date of the deal to be Dec. 17.
Following that, Glencore will release the funds to Viterra shareholders and the company's stock will be delisted from the Toronto and Australian stock exchanges.
The Viterra takeover received approvals from shareholders and Canadian authorities earlier this year.
The Glencore deal included a side agreement to sell a large chunk of Viterra's business to two other Canadian companies � Calgary-based Agrium Inc. (TSX:AGU) and Winnipeg-based Richardson International.
Glencore has also agreed to increase Viterra's projected capital expenditures in Canada by more than $100 million over five years and has said it will contribute to "grain industry initiatives" in Manitoba.
It has also committed to maintaining Viterra's Regina head office and said it will make the location the headquarters for its North American agricultural operations.
Glencore also plans to invest $8 million in Viterra's projected expenses in research and development and plans to work with the Saskatchewan government to establish a Global Institute for Food Security in the province.

WADSWSORTH: Residents who are customers of the city's sewer services should expect a 4.5 percent rate hike starting February 1.
The City Council Wednesday placed on second reading legislation to put the new rates into effect and is expected to adopt the legislation at its Jan. 15 meeting in time for the increase to go into effect in February.
Service Director Chris Easton estimated the average household's sewer charge would increase by $2 per month with the new rates. He told the Committee of the Whole on Dec. 18 that the rates for Wadsworth are expected to be below the state average even with the projected increase.
Mayor Robin Laubaugh at a May Committee of the Whole meeting explained a number of factors indicated the need for a rate increase, including necessary improvements to the wastewater treatment plant based on regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency, operating costs for additional chemicals and maintenance and the carryover balance was declining.
A long-term financial projection in October by Utility Financial Solutions, LLC for the city advised a 4.5 percent rate hike was needed for 2013 and each year through 2017.
The basis for the increase by that study included a projection of a 1 percent growth rate during those years, a projected 3 percent inflation rate and necessary capital improvements to the system. The five-year capital improvements to the system are expected to be $1.13 million.
Councilman Bruce Darlington noted about 5 million gallons per day are processed at the wastewater treatment plant, but only 4 million gallons of water is being used. That, according to Darlington, indicates there is a lot of infiltration into the sewer lines.
Easton told the Dec. 18 Committee of the Whole the city now has one million more gallons of water to sell which, if sold, will increase city revenues. That extra gallon is from a new water well in Rogues Hollow in Chippewa Township which became operational this year.
The city has had a sprinkling schedule in effect for more than a decade during the summer months. That schedule indicates on which days homeowners can legally water lawns. Easton explained that the Public Service Committee is expected to discuss that schedule to determine if it needs to be revised.
In other meeting action, Easton reminded residents the city will pick up Christmas trees this month. Those trees should be placed on the curb on the day of the regular trash collection. Also, Safety Director Matt Hiscock informed residents a city ordinance requires property owners to remove snow from abutting sidewalks.

SMU News & Media Relations
(214) 768-7654
February 7, 2002
DALLAS (SMU) -- This spring Southern Methodist University students are learning about American history through the eyes of a child.
A new course offered by the William P. Clements Jr. Department of History in Dedman College, Growing Up in America, explores the cultural, social and political history of childhood from the colonial era to the mid-20th century. The instructor, Crista DeLuzio, assistant professor of history who specializes in womens history, says the class is unique to SMU because the field of childhood history is so new.
The history of childhood is an increasingly growing field of study, within the last 10 years or so, says DeLuzio. It is related to the fields of womens and family history and the history of education.
How children were perceived by adults in the past, whether they were viewed as separate from adults or merely as smaller versions, is a subject of debate among historians. Some historians believe there was no recognized state of childhood before the 17th century. Most American historians, however, recognized a concept of childhood dating at least to the Colonial era.
It wasnt the same concept of childhood that we have today or even in the 19th century, but there were still adults who recognized distinguishing characteristics between children and youth, although they were not called adolescents in the Colonial period, DeLuzio says.
Understanding how these cultural expectations and social experiences of childhood changed over time is a major focus of the class, especially when seen through the lens of race, gender, class and ethnicity.
It was different for girls and for boys. It was different obviously for slave children and for urban children, DeLuzio says. The point is not to make any generalizations, but to pursue as many diverse experiences as possible.
Among the topics covered are the material world of children; for example, their toys, clothes and furniture; child-rearing practices from the 18th and 19th centuries; the experience of slave and immigrant children; and the treatment of children as reflected in 19th-century infant and child mortality rates, truancy laws, and the emergence of child welfare organizations.
Another problem posed by historians is how to study a population that leaves no records. For the most part, children who lived before the 20th century -- and only the literate ones then -- did not leave diaries, wills or letters. Without these records, historians of children must rely on cultural prescriptions written by adults about rearing and educating children. These parents guides help present historians with a conception of childhood from the 18th and 19th centuries.
DeLuzio says historians know that early in American life children were more connected to the adult world, living and working side by side with their parents in the household or in the fields. In later generations, children gradually moved away from spending all their time in the family unit. Also important are demographic and census records as well as patterns of school construction which can tell historians how much of an impact children had on their communities. The post-WWII baby boomers, for example, left a large footprint on American history.
To paint a realistic picture of childhood, students read from historical accounts, memoirs and novels. These books give a worldview of children, their family and work lives, and their religious and social observances. Assigned readings include Louis May Alcotts Civil War novel, Little Women; Horatio Algers rags-to-riches story of a New York City shoeshine boy, Ragged Dick; Mary Odems story of female juveniles during the Progressive Era, Delinquent Daughters; and Russell Bakers memoir of a Depression-era childhood, Growing Up.
SMU sophomore Alicia Harden says one of her favorite books was Harriet Jacobs account of slavery, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
I had never really studied 19th-century slavery and I enjoyed the time we spent there, Harden says. The story of Jacobs is very powerful and something everyone should experience.
In addition to her class, DeLuzio is writing a book about how scholars in the social sciences, including anthropologists and psychologists, viewed female adolescence from 1870 to 1930 and how those ideas later shaped contemporary theories of child development. DeLuzio received her Ph.D in American civilization from Brown University.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — A former Somerset town justice is facing up to two years in Niagara County Jail after pleading guilty Wednesday to child endangerment and criminal contempt charges.
Jeffrey P. Wick, 38, admitted to endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree criminal contempt. He appeared before Judge Sara S. Farkas in Niagara County Court.
Wick returns March 6 for sentencing.
The plea deal calls for Wick to waive his right to appeal. Farkas said the sentencing could include mental health court in Lockport City Court if Wick is accepted and enters the program. Wick will be screened for mental health court prior to his sentencing in March.
Wick told Farkas he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder during the summer. He is receiving treatment.
Patrick Balkin, Wick's attorney, asked for removal of the an electronic ankle bracelet Wick is wearing. Farkas said no, but Wick would be allowed to go to work. His probation officer would just have to be notified, the judge said.
"It can be modified during the hours of employment," Farkas said. "As long as they know where he is."
New York State Police reported in June Wick had pressed down on the accelerator as his son was driving on Route 31 in Cambria. A collision was avoided when the 16-year-old put the vehicle's transmission into park.
Wick was charged with violating an order of protection against his wife and son the following day.
Wick was elected town justice in 2003, remaining in the position until 2005. The following year Wick was no longer serving as justice, as he pleaded guilty to harassment of his wife, received a one-year conditional discharge, then violated the order of protection against her a few days later.

Lions rookie DT Ndamukong Suh has learned one of the big differences between college and professional football — in the NFL, you can lose money for your rough play.
The NFL has fined Suh $7,500 for slamming Browns QB Jake Delhomme to the ground by his face mask during the teams' third preseason game.
Suh grabbed Delhomme's face mask, twisted it and then wrapped his arms around the QB's head before throwing him to the ground. Suh, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 draft, was assessed a 15-yard penalty on the play.

Porsche® Lambda Oxygen Sensor, 1976-2005 Part # MS-1670
High Quality Replacement Faster Warm Ups In Cold Weather Reduces Excess Fuel Consumption Minimizes High Hydrocarbon Emissions Corrects Drivability Problems Like Surging Or Hesitation Required In Most States In Order To Pass Emissions Testing The Oxygen Sensor, also known as the O2 sensor, is located near the catalytic converter and measures the amount of unburned oxygen in your engine's exhaust. Based on the amount of oxygen, it sends a signal to your engine computer which then adjusts the air/fuel mixture for optimum engine performance and emission control. A faulty O2 sensor in your Porsche can lead to excess fuel consumption, drivability problems and even catalytic converter failure. If your service light is on, it maybe time to get your O2 sensors checked or replaced. Correctly operating O2 sensors are a must for a healthy Porsche, in some states it's even required in order to pass emissions testing. Learn More

Barry Porterfield
Pauls Valley Democrat
firstname.lastname@example.com —
Full court press time for a group of Pauls Valley officials and some volunteers banding together to get the word out on a sales tax measure meant to save the local hospital.
The name of this game is organizing a push to get accurate information out to voters on the half-cent tax proposal on PV ballots during an election set for March 4.
During a special meeting Thursday night members of the PV Hospital Authority made it clear they now have a plan in place, which includes the sales tax revenue, to keep the hospital open and hopefully thriving well into the future.
In fact, Mayor Gary Alfred said there are a lot of different people coming together for this organized effort to better inform local voters before the election.
The whole idea, he said, is to take that first step of saving the local hospital by getting the tax measure passed.
"We've brought in a group, and their whole job is to save hospitals," Alfred said about New Light Healthcare, which for now is working with the city of PV to manage the hospital.
"It's not going to turn around overnight, but we feel it's on the right path," he said about the hospital.
"We're at a turning point. We feel we're now in the process of getting the hospital fixed."
During the special meeting Alfred described the city's efforts over the past few months to get a partner in place, such as the St. Anthony or Mercy hospital groups, to purchase the local hospital and help secure its present and future stability.
None of those efforts have paid off as city officials are now joining forces with others to move forward with this new plan meant to keep a hospital open here in PV.
"Both of those entities wanted to build urgent care centers and close the hospital," Alfred said.
"As a hospital authority we feel Pauls Valley needs a hospital."
Along with the health care provided for the community and surrounding region, the mayor said having a hospital also has a positive economic impact and offers the potential of bringing in new businesses.
It's estimated the half-cent tax would, if passed by voters, generate in the neighborhood of $500,000 to $600,000 annually.
One thing made clear — all of that tax revenue will go "exclusively" toward the purchase of capital equipment, specifically diagnostic equipment, and other facility and operational improvements for the hospital.
None of the sales tax money will be used to pay off any of the hospital's pre-bankruptcy debt, city officials stressed.
(Next week the PV Democrat will feature more on the city's half-cent tax proposal and what the money will be used for if the measure is passed by voters on March 4.)
