Two men were apprehended Friday, Jan. 18, by Kentucky State Police after allegedly robbing the Campbellsburg Cowboy's at knifepoint.
Jesse Brian Waller, 24, of Key Largo, Fla., and Jason Butcher, 34, of Grove City, Ohio, each were charged with first degree robbery.
According to a press release from KSP, the store's clerk called post-5 to report the robbery just after 3:30 a.m. Friday morning.
I would like to add my name to those who are requesting that the New Castle City Commission vote "yes" to keep the city of New Castle in the Main Street Program.
Kentucky Press Association News Bureau
A non-partisan group of economists has released a bleak forecast for the state's projected revenue shortfall that shows a greater deficiency than expected.
The Consensus Forecasting Group released data last week.
The group's previous forecast from October indicated that the state would be about $117 million short for the remainder of the fiscal year.
County fire departments now will be able to purchase radio and pager equipment directly instead of applying for 911 funds through the Henry County Fiscal Court.
Magistrate Jerry Beasley proposed a motion that each fire department receive an annual allocation of $1,600 for such equipment.
"On (the) 911 pagers, batteries and radios, I'd like to make a motion that we cap it at $1,600 for the radios, pagers and batteries. That way the fire departments can purchase whichever one they want.
Don't tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I'll show you what you are. How true!
The debate over the value of the Main Street Program in New Castle is simply a matter of priorities of how a tax payer's money is spent. The choice before the New Castle City Commission is either to keep funding the Main Street Program hoping to gain new grant money from Frankfort sometime in the future or change directions, invest what New Castle is spending on Main Street to repair and renovate the Locker now for the community to use.
Landmark News Service
Snow and slick roads caused at least 10 accidents and cancelled school for some students in the county Tuesday.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Rick Ellis reported two morning wrecks on northbound I-71, including a flipped semi near the 29 mile marker. Traffic was stalled slightly for more than an hour because of clean up efforts there, Ellis said. The driver of the semi was not injured.
Another morning wreck on northbound I-71, near the 33 mile marker produced non-life threatening injuries, according to KSP reports.
What would happen if the 1986 Henry County High School football team played the 2007 Wildcats?
It's like comparing the 1972 Miami Dolphins to the 2007 New England Patriots - though on a more local scale. Wilt Chamberlain to Shaquille O'Neal - both in their primes of course. And, as we hear daily, apples to oranges. It really isn't fair comparing a team from two decades ago to a team of today, but it sure is fun trying.
Against Trimble County last Monday night, the Henry County Wildcats snapped a six-game losing streak by defeating the Raiders, 63-49. But more important than a win, it was one of the best team efforts in a long time, coach Jason Holland said.
Three Wildcats reached double digits in scoring with Cody Hinkle (16 points), Ben Roberts (10 points) and Steven Tillett (10 points), eight different players scored, including 19 points from the bench, and Henry had 15 assists, 15 steals and forced Trimble into 22 turnovers.
After a 42-36 win over Owen County on Jan. 11, the Henry County Ladycats dropped two basketball games the following week, which left them at 3-12 overall. The Cats lost to Walton-Verona (59-43) last Monday and Spencer County (54-36) Friday.
Kelsey Mings combined for 21 points and Jessica Booher 15, but it wasn't enough.
The Eminence Lady Warriors played one of their best halves of basketball this season last Tuesday night against the visiting Bardstown Lady Tigers, but in flip-flop fashion followed with one their worst halves, which resulted in a lopsided 56-18 loss.
Eminence was behind 10-8 following the first quarter and 24-16 at the half. By the time the Bardstown-dominated third quarter came to an end, though, the Lady Tigers were in front 49-17, outscoring Eminence 25-1 during the eight-minute stretch.

Cornish man swears off hunting after being gored by buck
CORNISH - Everett Gray said he plans to retire from deer hunting after being gored by an eight-point buck he shot with his .257 Roberts rifle.
"My brother gave me that rifle," Gray said Sunday. "I shot my first deer with it, and I just shot my last."
Gray said he was on his property Thursday night, talking to a neighbor. He spotted a deer and decided to grab his rifle and see if he could get a shot.
"I found a good spot to sit, and I sat there and waited," said Gray, who is in his 50s.
He saw the deer again, but then it disappeared into the woods. Gray decided to have a cigarette and go inside if the deer didn't show another time. While he was smoking, the deer appeared, this time 20 yards away.
He fired and hit the deer, which took off. Gray said he followed and found his quarry on the ground.
"It was beautiful; it looked like a deer bedded down in the woods," he said.
Gray said he walked up to the deer, patted it between its antlers and thanked it for giving its life. He didn't expect what happened next.
"The deer bounds up and rolls down the hill," he said, getting tangled in the underbrush. As he approached, the deer lunged.
"He drove the horn into me, picked me up and pounded me into the ground," Gray said. "He was just thrashing and I'm holding onto his horns - I thought he killed me."
Gray said the antler went four inches into his side, but did not hit any major organs. He was able to get out of the woods on his own. He was treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Gray said he is still haunted by the images of the attack.
"I've been doing this for 10 years," he said of hunting. "I think I'm retiring."
He doesn't blame the deer; in fact he's impressed with the animal for the strength it exhibited after being shot.
"This deer had so much heart," he said.

Saudi Arabia has offered steep new volume-linked crude oil price discounts to Exxon Corp. on condition that the oil not be sold to Japan, wet oil traders at five Japanese oil and trading companies said.
(Wet oil is cargoes of oil, rather than paper barrels, which are trades on the futures exchange.)If Exxon sold the oil in Japan, Saudi Arabia would be forced to offer new discounts to Japanese term customers, they said.
The traders said eight oil tankers were ordered by Saudi Arabia last week, and approximately five more were ordered over the past few days, all with options for use in Rotterdam or in the Caribbean.
They said it was most likely the ships will be used for floating storage in the Caribbean near the United States, with some of the tankers likely to be destined for Exxon's facilities near New Orleans.
However, there was also the possibility some of the tankers would be floating near Rotterdam so that Saudi Arabia would have oil available for European customers at short notice, they said.
Accurate information about the discounts and the intended use of the tankers was scarce because both Exxon and Saudi Arabia were trying to keep their moves secret, the traders said.

Robert Smith Hesitant in Releasing Next Cure Album
Earlier this year, a new Cure album, one following up 2008's 4:13 Dream, had been announced, but with scant information revealed at the time. One significant point was, it's essentially a sequel going by the name of 4:14 Scream, but in a recent XFM interview, frontman Robert Smith ultimately revealed he's hesitant to have the project see the light of day
Why? According to Smith, the first release was made by a completely different band at a different time in their career. Smith explained: "This band is trying to make an album with this lineup, and it's an album that I'm tempted to make, that's really different to anything else we've done. So trying to be convinced that I should release what is the second half of an album that effectively came out in 2008, it's a bit of a sore point, to be honest, amongst this current lineup."
Smith further went onto explain that while the music has been there, the lyrics weren't. As a result, he re-wrote everything.
While the band, according to Smith, plans to put out the album in the dead of summer, it may be released on Fiction – their home up until a few years ago. Explaining this decision and the new sound, he said: "It's an album that is really different to anything else we've done. People who want to hear it will hear it and those that don't, don't. They'll just keep dancing to Close To Me and Love Cats."

I really like this folder. Weave is very sharp and out standing.
This folder is extremely nice. I use this one every chance I get. It makes an incredible 'flower pot' design. I use another die to make a design which I then cut in half and trim slightly to form the flower pot. Then run this cut through the Basketweave folder. I can dab ink on it and highlight the design or just leave it plain. Either way is excellent. I love this folder! It's also very good for a male type of card.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - A north Louisiana man has been indicted on charges he burned a cross near an interracial couple's home to intimidate them.
The Justice Department says 30-year-old Daniel Earl Danforth, of Minden, was arrested Wednesday following his indictment last Friday for alleged civil rights violations and obstruction of justice charges.
Prosecutors say Danforth and another unidentified suspect used small pine trees to build a cross and then set fire to it outside the victims' home in Athens, La., last October.
Danforth allegedly returned to the area several days later to remove the cross after he learned FBI agents were investigating the incident.

Chris Hardwick's late-night comedy series sets an example for shows courting social media buzz
If you've ever wondered why your Twitter timeline starts buzzing around midnight with bizarre hashtags like #DrunkFilms, #FrozenBands or #SadToys, Chris Hardwick probably has something to do with it.
Hardwick's "@midnight" on Comedy Central – a half-hour comedy/talk/game show hybrid that, as its name suggests, deals with all things internet and social media – is arguably the best series currently on television when it comes to harnessing social media buzz. The show proves that social media awareness is an increasingly critical indicator of a show's popularity.
Also read: Chris Hardwick's Epic Journey to Nerdist: 'I Was Becoming a Drunk Guy Who Used to be on TV'
In just four months since the show's premiere in October – including a month-long hiatus over the winter holidays – "@midnight" has exploded in both social metrics and traditional ratings.
And in the process, the show has begun to change the face of late night TV.
According to Nielsen SocialGuide, which measures Twitter buzz, "@midnight" ranked an average of second place in the Late Fringe (11 p.m. to 2 a.m.) category, starting from its premiere on Oct. 21 until Jan. 27. It beat out all other late night shows, including fellow Comedy Central talkers "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report." (See chart below.)
Also read: Comedy Central's '@midnight' Wants Jon Hamm, Shares Complicated Relationship With BuzzFeed
"We were surprised how – we really believed in it, but we were surprised how quickly it resonated with the audience," Kent Alterman, Comedy Central's president of Content Development and Original Programming, told TheWrap.
"It was pretty instantaneous, and it's now growing, and that's been really rewarding."
Jimmy Fallon's debut week as host of NBC's "Tonight Show" — the week of Feb. 17 — was the same week "@midnight" had its best ratings ever, with an average of 731,000 total viewers. The show is rapidly increasing its share of the 18-to-49 demographic and the even more coveted young male demo.
"Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon, they're all great, they're all guys we really respect and admire," said Mike Farah, executive producer and Funny or Die president of production. "But I do think Hardwick's show… just brings a slightly different take to it."
The secret ingredient was there from the start.
"Built into the DNA of the show, there's an organic relationship between comedians and the internet and social media," Alterman said. "And that instead of it being, 'Oh let's add a social media element on top of something else,' as an appendage or an afterthought, it's an intrinsic part of the show."
See video: It's Nerd vs. Nerd in First Trailer for Nerdist's 'Zero Charisma' (Video)
Hardwick, a self-described "citizen of the internet," is also the key component of "@midnight." The consummate comedian and TV host built a media empire in 2008 with Nerdist, which, as the name suggests, deals with all things nerdy: science, video games, comic books — basically everything Hardwick loves.
That passion easily translates to his duties on "@midnight."
"We're in the demographic of the stuff we're making," Hardwick said. "We're not up, aiming down at you and trying to fish money out of your pockets."
"People understand that shows need ratings and products need to get sold, and there's this model of advertising and sponsorship that keeps everything afloat, but they still don't have any patience for condescension, being inauthentic, or just barking at them, 'Buy my thing! Buy my thing!'" he added.
That's where those bizarre hashtags come in.
Also read: Dumb Starbucks Brewed Up by Nathan Fielder's Comedy Central Show 'Nathan for You'
At its core, "@midnight" is a comedic talk show — but it uses a game show engine to keep churning out the jokes. One of the nightly games is "Hashtag Wars," which pits the three comedian contestants against each other to come up with as many ridiculous examples of the theme as they can.
If the topic is #FrozenBands, for example, a tweeter at home might play along by tweeting, "New Kids on the Block of Ice #FrozenBands @midnight."
But while the comedians only have 60 seconds, viewers at home have all night to tweet-in their suggestions and one-up each other for coveted POINTS! from the @midnight Twitter account. Viewers can also get a chance see their tweet air on the next episode. What results is a massive hashtag conversation that hits the top 10 nationwide trends on Twitter — every single night.
"There's a thing that comedy fans do on social media, and we want to have it feel like a home and not like we're sort of breaking into a party they're already having," said Joe Farrell, the show's co-executive producer and Funny or Die's director of development.
"There are people that are playing hashtag war every night, that are doing some of the funniest stuff that rivals some of the comedians we have on," he added.
Hardwick, who also serves as an executive producer on the show, agreed that the communal yet competitive attitude within the Twitterverse watching "@midnight" drives the show.
Also read: Comedy Central Greenlights Ben Stiller-Produced 'Big Time in Hollywood, FL,' 'Moonbeam City'
"It really is about, you know, just being part of this little weird community that we've established," he said.
"It was never our goal to say, 'Let's try to get as many Twitter followers as we possibly can,'" Hardwick added. "I feel like that's a flawed goal, because you're aiming for the wrong thing. Our goal was, how can we have as much fun and engage people as much as possible."
Compare that approach, Hardwick said, to TV series and media companies that use their social media presence solely as a promotional tool.
"Social media doesn't work well when you're just promoting at it," he said. "It's a system, and you have to keep replenishing the system. And sometimes that means adding things to it that don't promote you, that you're just sharing with the world."
So far, viewers seem to be buying in. Alterman said "@midnight" is slated to run until at least the end of September, the end of Comedy Central's 2014 budget year.

Remember Spenger's when it was Spenger's and not McCormick and Schmicks?
I recently had an old friend do a big favor for me and want to take him to dinner as a thank you. He said "Remember the salmon with egg sauce at Spenger's". I said "No, but I was addicted to the lobster thermidor served on boiled potatoes that you could get in the 'to go' place. Any places like that still exist that are good quality? Even Tadich Grill, Scoma's, John's Grill menus don't seem to have the combinations of rich newburg or eggy sauces and sea food (and for me, boiled potatoes). Will travel many miles from Berkeley to find a place (preferably on public transport). Don't want healthy or nouvelle. Any help from fellow chowhounds would be greatly appreciated.
re: Robert Lauriston
I was going to mention the sole a la Marguerey at Sam's. To me, THAT is worth a lengthy BART ride!
Hi folks, please pardon the interruption.
Just a quick note that we've deleted a few nostalgia-focused posts from this thread.
Chowhound's mission is to help everybody eat better right now, today. Nostalgia posts are fun, but they usually end up making threads chatty, taking a lot of space and diluting Chowhound's effectiveness.
If you have any suggestions for the OP as to where to find a similar restaurant to Spenger's, by all means DO add them here, but please go easy on the nostalgia.
Bah humbug,
The Chowhound Team
Another possibility might be to special-order those dishes at a restaurant where the chef enjoys old-school recipes.

While one third of the Occupy Wall Street movement is working on bail money, and another third on getting the mace out of its eyes, the other third is thinking about actions to further spread the message and expand the movement. One of the possibilities is an "Occupy Black Friday" campaign.
In various cities, those involved in the Occupy movement this week floated the idea of an "Occupy Black Friday" plan to keep the momentum going on the biggest shopping day of the year. While it's not clear what these plans are, the approach has a precedent.
"Buy Nothing Day 2011" is still being promoted by AdBusters, the Canadian organization credited with (at least co-) launching the Occupy Wall Street movement. Will Occupy Black Friday be a day of confrontation or one of passive boycott? And if it's the latter, will anyone care?
The very loosely organized OBF movement has thus far expressed a number of motivations for its actions. There are, of course, the standard gripes about corporations and profit and a nation of blind consumerism. But a subset of OBF is motivated by outrage at the demands placed on employees.Continue reading...

As Small Business Saturday looms on Nov. 26 — the second annual American Express campaign, promoted heavily on Facebook — it turns out that not all small businesses are confident in building their own brand awareness on Facebook or other platforms.
According to Steve Ennen, President and CIO of Social Strategy1, the 'push' marketing strategies of yore must be replaced by listening and mining digital and social media, as the power has shifted from business to the consumer.
"A core function of social media is listening to the voice of the customer, be it global or local. There's a need to hear and understand the lexicon, protocol and etiquette being used," Ennen told brandchannel. "There's an inherent, dynamic difference in social media that's not just about pushing harder and louder as channels increase. It's about rethinking all the approaches and not defaulting to 1999 or even 2004."Continue reading...

Retailers always approach the holiday shopping season with a mixture of cautious optimism and trepidation. While this year will be no different, at least one market survey suggests American retailers may be able to breathe a small sigh of relief.
That's because American consumers will spend, on average, 17 percent more money than last year. Americans will spend an average of $831 on gifts this holiday season, $121 more than last year, according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker report.
But consumers will also be shopping smarter, taking advantage of strategies that will save them money. Pre-holiday shopping is expected to increase by 37 percent over last year. That's one reason Walmart is aggressively promoting its layaway program and pitching a "Christmas Price Guarantee."Continue reading...

November 26, 2014
Posted Sunday, September 23, 2012 --- 1:57 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The city of Madison could save $2 million under a proposed contract with its largest municipal employees union.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that the deal was made possible after a court ruling this month put portions of the state's public employee collective bargaining law on hold.
The tentative agreement between the city and AFSCME Local 60, which represents about 1,100 workers, is set to go before the union and City Council this week.
Mayor Paul Soglin says the agreement would let the city reduce wages or health benefits by up to 3 percent, saving about $2 million.
But the union says its members would get security because the contract would prevent further cuts and preserve union rights that the state law would take away, such as grievance arbitration.

Yes, if you listen to payment systems suppliers speaking at NRF. The marketplace will demand it, they say, and EMV credit card standards will force a retail POS overhaul.
I know this is silly, but the term "mobile wallet" sounds odd to my ear. Aren't all wallets mobile in that you can carry them around with you in your pocket or purse?

A new medical study says physical therapy can be just as good for a common knee injury as surgery - and the cost and the risks are lower.
Dr. Jeffrey Katz of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School lead the study published online by the New England Journal of Medicine.
He says for people with a torn meniscus - a tear in cartilage that cushions the knee - those who stuck with therapy had improved as much at six months and one year later as those who were given arthroscopic surgery right away.
And he says surgery costs about $5,000. Physical therapy is typically $1,000 to $2,000.
But the study also says therapy didn't always help and some people wound up having surgery for the problem.
About one-third of people over 50 have a tear in a meniscus, and arthritis makes this more likely .

Historically a nation of immigrants, the United States is home to nearly 41 million immigrants, who represent 13 percent of the total population and play a key role in the economic, civic, and cultural life of the country. The research collected here covers many facets of immigration to the United States, by the numbers and how immigrants fare in the country's classrooms and workplaces, the policies and regulations that shape the admission of new immigrants, the enforcement programs and polices in place at U.S. borders and within the interior, and integration policies and efforts taking place in local communities, in states, and at the federal level.
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.

The terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" were originally created for administrative purposes by the U.S. government, but have since come to define a population of 50.5 million people who trace their origins to 20 different countries. Rubén Rumbaut examines the origin and administrative use of the Hispanic-Latino category, and the effect it has had on the identities of people placed into it.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the 9th Circuit Court ruling on SB 1070, current trends in immigration legislation at the state level, President Obama's recent comments on executive action and immigration reform, and more.
Immigrants from the Caribbean accounted for about 9 percent of the total U.S. foreign-born population in 2009. MPI's Kristen McCabe examines the social and economic profiles of the foreign born from this region.
Illegal immigration is possible in large part because of illegal employment. This report shows the underlying drivers of illegal hiring vary based on the type of employer, the nature of the industry, state of the economy, and a country's labor market institutions, employment legislation, immigration systems, and even culture.
Over the past half century, migration from Mexico and Central America to the United States has been driven in part by regional demographic and human-capital trends. As the U.S. labor force became better educated, fewer native workers accepted certain low-skilled jobs. This report offers a look at the economic changes that have coincided with a Mexican and Central American population boom.
The conference offered law and policy analysis and discussion on cutting-edge immigration issues. Featured panelists included high-ranking government officials, academics, advocates, and other immigration experts.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.
Doris Meissner, Director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at MPI, offers her knowledge and expertise regarding border security in this testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
In the absence of new U.S. immigration reform legislation, this report examines the opportunities that exist within the executive branch and the administration to refine and strengthen current U.S. immigration laws and policies. The administration can exercise its authority to field policies, programs, and procedures that are effective and fair in advancing the goals of the U.S. immigration system.
This report details the post-9/11 programs and agreements implemented by U.S. and European governments to identify terrorists and serious transnational criminals through the collection and processing of increasing quantities of traveler data.

Jhumpa Lahiri, Indian Writer
Jhumpa Lahiri is a popular name worldwide, known for her ability to engross the readers in the different dimensions of the story. She has also won a number of awards for her literary works.
More on Jhumpa Lahiri, Indian Writer (3 Articles)
Interpreter of Maladies, ...
Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
The Lowland
Jhumpa Lahiri is indeed the storyteller who weaves the lace of love, identity, crisis, lies and faults in a matured way. Her works are enriched with sensitive dilemmas of life. Characters in her books experience the cultural as well as the generation gaps. She, therefore, comments on the effects of western colonialism on Indians and Indians in Diaspora. Jhumpa Lahiri is not only a writer but the weaver of dreams and the fabricator of emotions. Her each and every novel becomes an outlet for her emotions.
Early Life of Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri, a Bengali American author, was born in 1967 in London to a Bengali parent. She is the daughter of a librarian and schoolteacher. She moved to South Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States when she was child. Jhumpa Lahiri acquired her Bengali heritage from her mother at a very early age. She has always been inclined to creative writing. Jhumpa Lahiri received her B.A in English literature from Barnard College in 1989 and M.A in Creative Writing, Comparative Literature from Boston University. She also received her Ph.D. in Renaissance Studies from Boston University. She took up a fellowship at Provincetown`s Fine Arts Work Centre in 1997.
Right from a very young age Jhumpa Lahiri felt strong ties for her parents` homeland India, as well as the United States and England. A sense of homelessness and an inability to feel accepted took hold of her as she grew up with ties to all three countries. To her it is an inheritance of her parents` ties to India.
Writing Career of Jhumpa Lahiri
One can find the idea of exile throughout her work "
Interpreter of Maladies
". This collection of nine distinct stories revolves around the first and second generation Indian immigrants and the idea of otherness among the country. The story theme also includes the marital difficulties. It won "Pulitzer Prize" in 2000 for fiction. In addition, it received the PEN/Hemingway Award, the New Yorker Debut of the Year Award, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Addison Metcalf Award, the Transatlantic Review award from Henfield Foundation, the Louisiana Review Award for short fiction, the O. Henry Award for Best American Short Stories, and a nomination for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Guggenheim fellowship was awarded to her in the year 2002.
Jhumpa Lahiri made her debut as novelist with "the
" in 2003. The story of the novel reveals the cultural and generational gaps between the parents and the children. The storyline revolves around parents born in
West Bengal
who have immigrated to United States, and their son, an American-born, wants to fit in amongst his fellow New Yorkers, despite his family`s unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways. Based on her novel, a film was also made.
Jhumpa Lahiri also wrote "Indian Holy Song" in 2000, "A temporary Prayer: What Happens when the Lights go out" in 1998, "Sexy" in 1998 and "the Third and Final Continent" in 1999.
Jhumpa Lahiri exploded onto the literary sense from 1999. In her short career no sign of slowing down appeared till date. Reader`s curiosity brings her audience together and they seem to be mesmerized by her writings. It is difficult to compare Jhumpa Lahiri`s work with other Indian or Indian-American authors. Lahiri is also able to draw her readers into the story through her details and by making her readers feel the emotional, physical, and mental needs of the characters.
Personal Life of Jhumpa Lahiri
Jhumpa Lahiri married Alberto Vourvoulias Bush in 2001. They have two children from their marriage.
