Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof Mascara Reviews
WOW--Surprisingly Effective!
I am forever on the prowl for the perfect mascara. At this time of year, I need a waterproof formula which truly doesn't clump, smudge, or budge whether I am in high humidity or the ocean. Maybelline's "Lash Discovery Waterproof Mascara" is something I picked up last month for about $5.00. I didn't expect dramatic lashes, but that is what I did get. Why? The unusual, ultra-thin brush allows y...read moreou to reach, color, and hold the curl of every single lash, whether it's on the bottom or top. Because it is pliable, I use a second coat for additional "oomph." When all lashes are completely covered and separated well, you do have more glamour than you expected. I am highly surprised at how very well this works for me. I hope you have the same results! — 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Bottom Lash Mascara
This mascara is really good, not just for length and holding curl, but also for lower lashes. I didnt want to fork out the cash for the Clinique bottom lash mascara so I just used this in black/brown. Effective and beautiful. Great buy. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
perfect for locking in curls!
i have very straight, long eyelashes that stubbornly refuse to curl. i discovered the miraculous shisheido eyelash curler a while ago and was so glad when my stubborn asian lashes finally succumbed to an eye-opening curl! but whenever i tried to add even more definition to my lashes with mascara, they would droop straight down again =( i tried several brands, even the "curling" mascaras, but n...read moreothing worked; mascara was kryptonite to my temporarily curled lashes, and i've settled for curled but thin and skimpy lashes. after reading about maybelline's waterproof lash discovery mascara in an article and reviews on total beauty, i gave it a try – best purchase ever! i was a bit wary of the teeny tiny brush at first, but it magically grabs every lash and adds just the right amount of mascara to brighten my eyes – no clumping, super stiff or spider lashes. not a lot of volume or crazy length, but definitely a noticable difference. it's waterproof so no smudging and amazingly lasts (even through 90 minutes of hot yoga AFTER a long day at the office!) but it doesn't take too much effort to remove w/ a little eye-makeup remover. my only complaint is cleaning the brush; usually, i wipe mascara brushes off with a tissue before each application to avoid clumps but this brush seems to attract "tissue lint" - which leads to clumping. i would suggest wiping it off with a cloth instead… — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 9 of 9 people said helpful
Its not bad
The mini brush is very cute, and makes it easy to apply to all the lashes. The formula is ok though, it doesn't clump which is great, but doesn't do a whole lot to my lashes. It adds very minimal volume for me. If you have naturally thick lashes and just want something to slightly enhance them then this would be great for you. My lashes are not too long or short, kinda in the middle, but they are...read more thin so I do like some more volume then this mascara gives me. One good thing though is that it is very waterproof, I had no problems with it smudging all day. so I mainly just use this on my bottom lashes because of the tiny brush. — 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful
Great for Lengthening
This masacara has the perfect wand for lengthening lashes. I would probably choose something else if you are aiming for intense volume or curl but this is what I use for bottom lashes and when I want a more natural, feathery look. Paired with a curler and a layer of a more volume-infused formula (I prefer Diorshow or Benefit They're Real) you can create some awesome lashes. — 9 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
Cheap and worth every penny!
My eyes tear up on a regular basis all day and I have sensitive eyes. Therefore, it is imperative I have a bottom lash mascara that, 1) is waterproof; 2) really, really stays on; 3) doesn't create "raccoon eyes;" and 4) doesn't irritate my eyes (that is especially important since I often commit the cardinal sin of falling asleep at night before I removing my mascara – or any makeup for...read more that matter!). Maybelline Mini-Brush Waterproof Mascara gives me exactly what I want and need. I only apply Maybelline to my lower lashes because I use a Lancôme lash-building product ("Hypnose Drama") for the top eyelashes (I don't want my bottom lashes to have "drama" with globs of mascara on them - like the late Tammy Faye Baker's lashes…). Before using the Maybelline mascara, I apply Lancôme's oscillating lash primer. I find it makes ANY mascara hold better and it allows me to get good color on the lashes without applying a lot of mascara. This is the only Maybelline mascara product I have ever used that does exactly what its advertisement says. It stays on, does not run, provides good color, comes off easily, does not irritate my eyes, is extremely cheap (I usually pay about $2.00 for the mascara when I buy it on sale at CVS and use the Sunday paper $1.00 coupons), is easy to use, doesn't take up a lot of space in the makeup drawer, and lasts a long time. Another plus for this mascara is the "mini" round brush and its short bristles. It's so awesome to have this type of brush for lower lashes that are very fine and short. However, this mascara is also good to use for the top lashes closest to your nose. These lashes are usually pretty fine and short, too. With bigger brushes, you run the chance of getting mascara on your nose or other parts of your eye when trying to apply mascara to this inside area. (And we all know how that kind of error can really throw off the completion time for your eye makeup application.) If you have never tried this product you don't know what you are missing! — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 15 of 26 people said helpful
Mini Power
This tiny brush has it's pros and cons. Those with scant lashes might not get much length or volume. I have long, but sparse lashes so I use Lash Discovery with another volumizing mascara. It defines the smaller lashes the bigger brush misses. Lash discovery also works wonders for my bottom lashes. Definitely a must have in your makeup bag. — 4 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Flimsy brush
I would use this mascara only as a touch up mascara. It would take me forever if I used it by itself. Instead I put a few layers of my favorite mascara and then use this mascara to do touch ups. — 6 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
My HG mascara
This is my HG everyday mascara. I love the formulation and it holds my curled lashes all day without flaking. I have a short and very straight lashes so it's tough to put on mascara that has a big brush,this one is perfect. One coat gives you a nice define natural look lashes but you can build it too add more volume and length. This is a great mascara for layering,what I do is use this mascara as ...read morea base to hold my curl and put a more volumizing mascara on over it and the result is just fabulous!

Six years ago, the O'Fallon Panthers knocked off (Lincolnshire) Stevenson in the Class AA state basketball semifinals to earn a shot at Chicago Simeon.
In the final high school game of his star-studded career, future NBA star Derrick Rose put on a show with eight assists in a 77-54 state title game victory over the Panthers. Six years later, the Edwardsville Tigers are facing a similar path.
The Tigers (30-2) take on Stevenson (28-4) in the Class 4A semifinals at 8:15 p.m. Friday at Peoria's Carver Arena. On the rock-star side of the bracket, nationally ranked Simeon (28-3) and 6-foot-8 Duke recruit Jabari Parker takes on Chicago heavyweight (Maywood) Proviso East (29-3) in the first semifinal.
Simeon, which has at least three or four Division I recruits and probably more, knocked off Proviso East 50-48 last season to win its third straight state title and has its sights set on a fourth.
That would tie the record of four straight Class AA titles set by Peoria Manual from 1994-97. No matter which team they face, the Edwardsville-Stevenson winner has a chance to shock the Illinois basketball world.
"It would be quite a mountain for anyone to climb," Stevenson coach Pat Ambrose said. "We'd love to give it a shot."
So would the Edwardsville Tigers.
"These guys have paid the price to be successful," said Edwardsville coach Mike Waldo, whose teams are 605-234 in 30 years of coaching, including 524-183 at Edwardsville. "You can pay the price to be successful and get beat, that's part of sports. But it's good to see the guys are happy and have been rewarded for working hard."
Waldo never slows down and he and his staff have spent nearly every waking moment either practicing, scouting or going over video in an effort to find two more victories.
"One of the best things about getting older is you don't worry about proving yourself any more," said Waldo, who began his coaching career at Marquette in 1983 and since 1988 has been patrolling the sidelines at Edwardsville. "You just try to do a good job. In that regard I maybe enjoy it a little more because I don't worry about proving whether I'm any good or not, I just enjoy doing it."
Simeon also has a pair of Illinois recruits in seniors Kendrick Nunn and Jaylon Tate. The Chicago Tribune has followed Simeon on a daily basis the entire season.
"It is definitely cool, but we know that we can hang with these nationally ranked teams," Edwardsville senior Tre' Harris said of the hoopla surrounding the state finals. "We've seen them play and we see their weaknesses and their strengths."
Before they get to any nationally ranked teams, the Tigers have to deal with a loaded Stevenson squad led by talented 6-foot, 2-inch sophomore guard Jalen Brunson (21.8 points per game, 59 3-pointers) and sophomore forward Connor Cashaw (16.2 points and 7 rebounds per game).
Stevenson has an 18-game winning streak while Edwardsville has won 13 straight. Edwardsville's only two losses came to fellow state-ranked Southwestern Conference rival Belleville East and Illinois recruit Malcolm Hill.
Stevenson has a chance to gain some revenge against the Southwestern Conference.
"We like those St. Louis teams," joked Stevenson coach Pat Ambrose. "(O'Fallon) cracked us on the boards, we couldn't box them out. Edwardsville is just solid, three kids that can play inside and outside and do a lot of different things. They run some really nice stuff."
Stevenson gives Edwardsville its third straight prolific point-guard challenge in the postseason. Rock Island and (Chicago Heights) Marian Catholic each had star guards that were held in check by the Tigers and Brunson --one of the top sophomores in the Midwest --is capable of making things happen.
Brunson's father is former Temple University standout Rick Brunson, who played nine years in the NBA. Rick Brunson is an assistant coach with the Carolina Bobcats.
Illinois, DePaul and Virginia are among the early suitors in the Jalen Brunson recruiting race.
Ambrose said what sets Brunson apart are his "poise, headiness, his maturity is well above and beyond a sophomore. He knows when to pass, when to shoot and who to give it to."
Stevenson's other threats are Andrew Stempel (11.4 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 55 3-pointers) and Matthew Morrisey (8 ppg).
"They actually play four guys that can make threes and that's always hard to play against," Waldo said. "They've got two good penetrators too, so they'll be a hard team to defend."

Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE - He may be a legend in the road-building arena, but Wayne Shackelford's passion has a much more rural character.
The former Georgia Department of Transportation commissioner has dedicated his life to livestock, crafts and other contrivances commonly found at the county fair. Last month, Shackelford, 73, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Georgia 4-H Foundation. This year, he also was given an honorary degree from the state Future Farmers of America. While Gwinnett County has grown from a rural community to a suburb packed with people, Shackelford works to make sure people have the opportunity to experience agrarian culture. And that opportunity will begin again Thursday at the Gwinnett County Fair. "The families come to the fair in droves and love it. They want to touch the animals," said Shackelford, a member of the county fair board since 1975, who works on preparing for the 4-H shows. "Yes, the county is changing dramatically, but the need to get back to our roots will remain." In a increasingly urban and diverse county, those rural roots cross racial and cultural lines, he said. "It's very interesting to watch our diverse population, to see a Spanish-speaking person with a crowd gathered around explaining what's going on," he said. While animals have had Shackelford's heart since a young age, he wasn't able to show a steer or a pig at his own local fair. The son of a sharecropper, he had to wait until college to enter his first competition, although he became a judge when he was 14 or 15. He remembers going to his first fair in the back of a Ford pick-up with the teacher who inspired him to study animal science. After a stint in the Army, where he worked as a veterinary animal specialist with a platoon of scout dogs and later at a veterinary hospital, Shackelford joined the state extension service in Haralson County. In 1960, he was transferred to Gwinnett, where he began volunteering with 4-H programs. Over the years, as Shackelford worked his way up to the executive assistant to the Board of Commissioners, his three children became avid competitors with their own livestock, which they raised on the family's 6.4 acres in Snellville. Several years ago, he sold some of that acreage and moved into a subdivision nearby, but Shackelford's wife Anna says her husband still "gets his fix" of working with animals, as the couple travel over the state and the country to watch their grandchildren compete. "He gets the fun part and not the work part," she said with a laugh. In a recent interview, Shackelford described his jobs as extension agent and as DOT commissioner the same way - "I'm a motivational engineer." He's proud of his accomplishments in transportation, creating intelligent transportation systems - computer coordinated traffic management - to guide Atlanta through the Olympics, his role in the genesis of high-occupancy vehicle lanes in the region and working to create a more efficient transportation department. "It's a rare opportunity for a kid that grew up a sharecropper's son to lead one of the most powerful agencies in the state," he said. And that's one of the reasons he worked to inspire the next generation and the one after that. "A person will never reach his potential if he isn't willing to risk failure," Shackelford said, adding that his granddaughters have made lasting friendships through the livestock circuit. "It's all about building self-worth." But Shackelford said his proudest day was the one when his beloved Anna agreed to marry him. "I make the living; she makes the living worthwhile," Shackelford said. The two met at the Baptist Student Union at the University of Georgia when he was in graduate school and she was a freshman, and they will celebrate their 48th anniversary later this year. With his wife by his side, Shackelford, who still works four days a week as a transportation consultant, said he's going to continue his work with the fair and 4-H for the rest of his life. "I may burn out, but I'm not going to rust out," he said.More like this story

Jersey city man pleads guilty in bank fraud scheme
November 10, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – Syed Rehman, 44, of Jersey City, N.J, today admitted his role in a bank fraud scheme in which he used unlawfully obtained Social Security numbers to obtain credit cards and mortgages, causing four banks to lose a total of approximately $1 million, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Rehman pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge José L. Linares in Newark federal court to an Information charging him with one count of bank fraud.
According to documents filed in the case and statements made in court:
Rehman admitted he was part of a scheme involving the use of unlawfully obtained Social Security numbers to open bank accounts and obtain credit cards and mortgage loans. Rehman admitted that he paid an employee of the Social Security administration in order to unlawfully obtain Social Security numbers. Rehman was the owner of ZHN Auto Repair in New York, and he allowed other participants in the scheme to use his business to establish false employment histories and claim high salaries in order to induce the banks to issue credit cards and mortgages. Rehman admitted that he and the other participants in the scheme never intended to repay the banks. The scheme caused J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, Bank of America and Citigroup group to lose approximately $1 million.
The bank fraud charge to which Rehman pleaded guilty carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of $1 million. Sentencing before Judge Linares is scheduled for Feb. 15, 2012.
U.S. Attorney Fishman thanked inspectors from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Newark Division, under the direction of Inspector in Charge Philip R. Bartlett, and agents of the Social Security Administration-Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Ryan, for the investigation leading to today's guilty plea.
Defense counsel: Christian Fleming Esq., of East Brunswick, N.J., and A. Paul Condon Esq. of Jersey City, N.J.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

As the ear has dual functions for audition and balance, the eye has a dual role in detecting light for a wide range of behavioral and physiological functions separate from sight [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. These responses are driven primarily by stimulation of photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (pRGCs) that are most sensitive to short-wavelength (∼480 nm) blue light and remain functional in the absence of rods and cones [8,9,10]. We examined the spectral sensitivity of non-image-forming responses in two profoundly blind subjects lacking functional rods and cones (one male, 56 yr old; one female, 87 yr old). In the male subject, we found that short-wavelength light preferentially suppressed melatonin, reset the circadian pacemaker, and directly enhanced alertness compared to 555 nm exposure, which is the peak sensitivity of the photopic visual system. In an action spectrum for pupillary constriction, the female subject exhibited a peak spectral sensitivity (λmax) of 480 nm, matching that of the pRGCs but not that of the rods and cones. This subject was also able to correctly report a threshold short-wavelength stimulus (∼480 nm) but not other wavelengths. Collectively these data show that pRGCs contribute to both circadian physiology and rudimentary visual awareness in humans and challenge the assumption that rod- and cone-based photoreception mediate all "visual" responses to light.

Your doctor will conduct a physical examination, take a personal and family medical history, and ask when your symptoms occur — for example, whether exercise brings on your symptoms. If your doctor thinks you have cardiomyopathy, you may need to undergo several tests to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include:
A variety of other blood tests may be done, including those to check your kidney function and look for anemia and thyroid problems. Your iron level may be measured. Having too much may indicate an iron overload disorder called hemochromatosis. Accumulating too much iron in your heart muscle can weaken it and cause cardiomyopathy.

MISSION – School districts recently received their preliminary 2012 Adequate Yearly Progress scores. With higher standards this year, fewer schools and districts met requirements. Sharyland and La Joya Independent School Districts struggled this year with both districts missing their AYP in reading. LJISD also missed their AYP in math.
To meet AYP standards this year, school districts were to have 87 percent or more of their students passing the state reading test, 83 percent in math, and have either a 75 percent graduation rate or 90 percent attendance rate. According to the Texas Education Agency, only 28 percent of Texas school districts met these new standards.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, the passing standards will increase each year, with the state requiring a 100 percent passing rate on both math and reading by 2014. Last year's passing rates were 80 percent in reading, 75 percent in math. Last year, 50 percent of districts met AYP requirements. The standards also include breaking down students into sub-groups.
As a district, SISD missed AYP in reading with a 76 percent of special education students passing. This is the same area SISD did not meet last year.
Dr. Virginia Richter, SISD superintendent, said the district has a large population that is classified in the special education group. She was meeting with school principals and other administrators this week to develop a plan to better serve students in special education.
"It's a life skill," said Richter about reading being important for all students to learn. She said the district is looking at being very intentional with their curriculum this coming year.
Because of the low score in reading, SISD is in Stage 1, which means the district, or campus, must develop an improvement plan and campuses must offer students the option to transfer to a school that meets AYP requirements.
B.L Gray Junior High and Romulo D. Martinez Elementary did not meet AYP in reading. Sharyland High School did not meet their AYP requirements for math and is also in Stage 1. All other SISD schools met AYP standards.
LJISD had 81 percent of their students meet AYP standards. For math, only 80 percent of the district's students met AYP standards.
Lorenzo de Zavala Middle School, Irene M. Garcia Middle School, and Juan de Dios Middle School are in Stage 1 for reading and math. Dr. Americo Paredes Elementary is also in Stage 1, but only for reading. Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School, although meeting AYP this year, is in Stage 1.
Palmview High School missed AYP in reading, math, and graduation rate. The school is currently in Stage 4.
According to TEA, schools that are in Stage 2 or higher, face stronger sanctions at each additional stage. At Stage 4, a school will need to develop a restructuring plan and additional training for principals, administration and teachers.
Of the 35 campuses participating, 14 LJISD schools met AYP standards in all three areas.

I always thought that the real Justin Bieber looks rather androgynous, which therefore makes this parody, musical vignette even more the funnier.

My son won't take this hat off!
By Pirate Mom
from Holbrook, New York
My seven year old had a pirate party last month and still won't take this hat off. We purchased all of our pirate items from Windy City [...]
By Maggie the Cat
from Chicago, IL
I was pleasantly surprised that the hat actually fit. I am not a hat wearer, and find most hats too small for my liking. The problem was that the flashing eyes were inconsistent. They worked sometimes, and other times not. Could not depend on the "bling" value. If you don't care about that, and need a generous sized pirate hat this is the one for you.
By Nat
from San Francisco, CA
Would be nice if there was more than one setting - off or flashing isn't enough - a constant on would have been a treat - add more settings and this product will be a home run

Midwest DI Under New Structure |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs |
The Midwest has changed its format for the upcoming DI men's season, which starts Saturday, with the competition split into three pools instead of two divisions. One pool contains the three Chicago teams – the Blaze, Griffins and Lions. Another pool consists of the Milwaukee Barbarians (a joint venture between the Westside Harlequins and Milwaukee RFC), Metropolis and Palmer. The third pool contains the old East teams – Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit and Cincinnati. The winner of each pool gets a top-three seed to the Midwest playoffs. The second-place team in each pool gets a 4th-6th place seed in the playoffs. And the top two third-place teams in each pool move in as the seventh and eighth seeds. The quarterfinals will be played in the fall and the semifinals and finals in the spring. The last two years, the East champion has lost two games at the Midwest playoffs and finished third in the league, and there's been speculation that if given the chance to play the third-best team from the West, the East champ may have finished as low as fourth. However, the old playoff structure allowed the top team in either division to finish no worse than third overall. This new structure allows for the old West teams to, potentially, sweep all four of the Midwest's seeds to the USA Rugby playoffs. And with the Griffins and Lions joining Metropolis and Palmer to create what would have been an incredibly strong West division, change was needed to allow them all a chance at the National postseason. But the upshot of the change is uneven schedules. The pool of four has relatively comparable schedules, with each team playing a home-and-away with each other and two out-of-pool matches. But it's not even from there. For instance, the Chicago teams only have to leave the greater Chicago area twice each. Meanwhile, Metropolis has to travel to Iowa and Wisconsin once each and Chicago twice. Palmer has to go to Chicago, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin. And the top two teams from the territory a year ago, National semifinalists Metropolis and Palmer, are pitted against each other in the same pool, so one won't make the Midwest playoffs as a seed higher than fourth. Milwaukee, which is sort of an unknown, but expected to be improved, certainly sees their road to the playoffs get much tougher. However, perhaps the most positive aspect of the new schedule is that every returning DI team has a tougher slate than they did the year before, creating a truly top notch competition.

Hi everybody
I'm new here so forgive me if this has already been asked but I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the (IMO) annoying noise that chimes when you start end finish charging your phone. I've tried turning off reminders, keypress, lock and unlock, camera shutter, and all other notifications, but it still makes that annoying jingle when you have the volume up (even when my ringer's on silent).
Thanks for the help. - 01-15-2013, 08:03 PM #2
Thanks for asking this!! I often get out of bed well before my wife and this always wakes her up! Super annoying.
Ya, this a weird feature that didn't occur with WP7. I'm pretty sure MS is getting some complaints about this, so I'm sure they'll update to change that.

Yeah, the only way I've found to turn this off is by turning the volume down. Like slashd0t, I too am up first and hate to wake up the gf when I'm getting out of bed.
seems to not have a 100% solution although you can try the work-around above^
seeing how in every wireless charging commercial or ones that feature any kind of charging, nokia always have this sound purposely heard i don't think they'd let you turn such a recognizable thing off.

SKOWHEGAN -- Somerset County commissioners on Wednesday rejected an offer to join with four other counties in asking the state Board of Corrections to include jail debt in its upcoming budget for systemwide capital improvements.
The vote was 5-0 to oppose the offer and came with little discussion.
"We may have our own local legislator write a bill to present to help us reduce the debt, so the (proposal) is in direct conflict to that," said Commissioner Lynda Quinn, of Skowhegan.
Board Chairman Robert Dunphy, of Embden, said the county pays $2.7 million annually for debt on the construction of the Somerset County Jail in East Madison. He said the fair way would have the state pick up half of the debt because about half of the inmate population consists of boarders from other counties.
"If we could get to keep the unexpended balance that the jail makes as revenue, that would be a big help," Dunphy said. "That is anywhere from $800,000 to a million -- but we can't use that unexpended balance toward paying off the bond debt. The Board of Corrections law doesn't allow us to do that. We need to change the law on what we can do with our revenues."
The proposal would have included jails serving Lincoln, York, Sagadahoc and Hancock counties.
The Somerset County Jail was built in 2008 on the promise that the money the county takes in for boarding prisoners would help offset paying for the construction of the jail. In April 2008, the Legislature, at the urging of then-Gov. John Baldacci, created a state Board of Corrections that would oversee a unified state and county correctional system and capped the amount counties could raise from taxes to support corrections.
The state was to pay what the counties couldn't cover. The aim of the move was to freeze jail costs.
More than four years after plans for the new Somerset County Jail were approved as part of the state-mandated county jail consolidation plan, county officials say the county continues to pay an unfair share of jail operations and bond payments for construction.
In his presentation of the letter to commissioners at Wednesday's meeting, Sheriff Barry DeLong said he did not support the proposal because it asks for full debt payment by the state on the jails.
He said the move would be dangerous because the state, not the counties, then would then have control of the jails.
DeLong said Sen. Doug Thomas, R-Ripley, is writing a bill to help Somerset County reduce its debt by keeping excess revenue -- after paying for routine maintenance and upkeep -- from the boarding of inmates.
"What we discussed is the money we save, we keep," DeLong told commissioners. "If they pay this debt, it's no longer your jail. If another county wants to submit this, that's wonderful. Personally, as sheriff, I would not."

We advertise with Bing and receive a bit of traffic from them. Then suddenly yesterday, out of the blue, the ppc traffic surged. It lasted about 24 hours and then petered out. Our logs show it all came from Yahoo search and one particular keyword search. It also showed that the keyword phrase was exactly the same three words, all capialized, for each search.
If it were content network traffic it would make sense. But what causes thousands of people to suddenly search on Yahoo for one particular, identical phrase?
