I'm not sure if there is an option, although windows 8 doesn't seem to do this. First thing I would do though is to enable file extensions, which won't solve the problem but makes things infinitely simpler.
On windows 8, go to the view tab, then select Options, and then click the view tab, and then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". Then select OK. This will have all files show their true name, such as "0A.txt" or "0A.png".
On earlier versions, I believe you get to it in a similar way. Look for a menu item named "Folder and Search options".
Anyways, what version of windows are you running?
Try setting your current folder's view to "details". Additionally, try clicking on "Name" and swapping the order.
Well, i do have a Windows 8 currently.
Sure, I'll try this. And I´ll see if it works.

So, recently a friend of mine was at home with her children playing in the front yard, when an unexpected visitor arrived.
A salesman pulled into the driveway wanting to sell her family some meat. He began talking with her kids, and then approached her front door, where she immediately greeted him with a "No, thank you" to what he was offering. He was unfazed by her words, not taking no for an answer. He just continued to talk over her, unconcerned with what she was saying. Her tone became focused and forceful as he kept standing there, letting him know in no uncertain terms that she was NOT going to buy what he was selling. When he finally realized he wasn't making any progress, his attitude turned, he became upset and headed back to his truck. But instead of driving away, he sat in his truck and continued talking with her children. The kids immediately left the lawn and poured into the house, realizing something was completely off, this whole scene wasn't right and they needed to get to where their mama was.
Here's what I see about this. One, my friend was immediately present and speaking with intentionality on behalf of herself and her children. Two, this guy didn't care. And three, because of that she stood up with authority and intentionality, ready to defend all she had, all that was precious to her.
Because when you realize that what you have is precious, you'll do whatever it takes to protect it.
Ladies, in these past three weeks, I've become so aware of the precious gift of His grace, haven't you?
His grace is so amazing and grand and poured out. It has caused me to live more alive and in the moment, realizing He is always present with me. That His grace is always available. That I am free to receive it, to fall into it, and take in His forgiveness and sufficiency.
As I've realized my own desperate need for His grace, it has softened the way I see those around me, opening me up to extend more grace to them. This grace is changing me from the inside out as I begin to live and breathe and move in ways I never have before.
A gift this generous requires that I guard it with all that I am.
As Paul begins to pen the last half of Ephesians 6, he got this. Paul has just spent the last five and a half chapters laying it out there, writing and explaining all that is good, and right, and generous about our God. Paul, as he's imprisoned, took great pains in describing the depth of His love and all that's ours for the taking.
My friend got this in spades in that one moment. When that unwelcomed guest arrived on her front porch, no one had to prompt her to take a stand. She wasn't sitting on the couch waiting for the next commercial before getting up to see what was happening. Nobody was coaching her to be protective of her kids.
No, the mama bear instinctively raged. The boundaries of her property and her children had been jacked with and she stood up and stood strong.
Ephesians 6 is exactly that: standing up and guarding all that has been so graciously and sacrificially poured out to you, and doing so with every fiber of your being. Not because you have to, but because you recognize that what you've been given is costly and precious and great, and His grace is no longer a trite word or song, but it is everything deep and wide, and has actually saved your very soul.
Girls, we have got to stand.
If this doesn't matter, nothing else does. We have got to guard this gift of salvation, this gift of grace with all that we are because it is everything.
This week we have to answer one question: Do I really believe that this whole message of grace matters to my every day life? And if it does, then it's time to draw a line in the sand and stand up. We've got to shore up the areas of our life that are filled with lies, recognize where we need His strengthening and begin to say YES to the Truth of God's Word.
1. Read. Read Ephesians 6:10-24, looking specifically at vs.10-20. It's a blueprint of standing strong against our very real enemy who is looking to steal, kill and destroy everything. This is not a game to him, it is very real and he is looking for any avenue possible to work his way into your life to take you out of the game.
The enemy is looking for a way in, guaranteed. Walk in wisdom, sweet friend. Identify that open door, then close it and stand in the power and strength of your God.
3. Recommit yourself to being in God's Word. Notice in verse 17, the one offensive (as opposed to defensive) piece of armor in this whole list is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Girls, we live in a world that is fill with blogs, tweets, posts, pins, headlines and feeds. We take in so much information every moment of our day. But we have got to guard against developing a theology based on the voices of social media rather than our own personal study of God's word. God's Word alone is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). Let the rhythm of your life be kept by God alone, not anyone else.
Oh ladies, in this last week of our study, let this settle into you.
Decide to receive this grace for yourself.
Open your life and allow God to do a work in you, transforming you from the inside out. Decide this week to stop putting bandaids on everything and instead open yourself with outstretched arms and say Yes to whatever it is that He might be speaking to your heart.
Take a stand. Because the enemy is not going to care if you just keep mulling and considering the idea of taking a stand. He'll just keep talking over you to work his way in. Decide. Decide in no uncertain terms that you are no longer buying what he's selling.
Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and stand firm against all the lies, all the patterns, and all the ways you've tried to make it all just work out.
Believe that this grace is worth fighting for.
See you back here Friday, as we take a "Weekend Walk", an intentional exercise to enter His presence and experience His grace.

Carjackings In Philadelphia Have Nearly Tripled Since 2019; More Than 100 Already In 2022So far this year, there have been over 100 carjackings and we're still in the month of January.
Flyers Could Have Mason Back For Game 2

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 04: Goaltender Steve Mason #35 of the Philadelphia Flyers looks up to the crowd during a break from the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on January 4, 2014 in Glendale, Arizona.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers might have No. 1 goalie Steve Mason back for Game 2 against the Rangers.
Mason missed Thursday's 4-1 loss to New York because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. He was hurt last Saturday against Pittsburgh, when he was knocked over and hit the back of his head on the ice. Mason and the Flyers have declined to say whether he has a concussion.
Mason took part in a goalie practice Friday at New York's Chelsea Piers and said afterward that he is feeling better than he did a few days earlier. He has set his sights on playing Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
"I felt pretty good for being on the ice for the first time in a couple of days. It was a good step," the 25-year-old Mason said. "I felt great movement-wise. It was a pretty controlled setting and it felt good.
"I'll know exactly when I am ready to go physically, but it is also a management and doctor's decision, as well."
Ray Emery made 32 saves in Mason's absence Thursday and couldn't be blamed for the loss. The game was tied 1-1 in the third period but changed when the Rangers scored twice during a double-minor, high-sticking penalty against young forward Jason Akeson.
Emery had little chance to stop either scoring shot. His backup's strong performance took some of the sting away from Mason.
But he still hopes to get the call Sunday.
"This is the time that you've worked all season to get to, and to see the team go out there in a playoff atmosphere at Madison Square Garden where the stakes are so high … it's something that you don't want to be sitting out and watching," Mason said.
"It was difficult, especially since the result. I think everybody expects a much better game on Sunday. I don't think anybody was happy with the way the team played."
Mason expects to practice with his teammates Saturday. The rest of the Flyers had Friday off.
Of bigger concern than their goaltending, the Flyers will have to show more discipline in Game 2 and figure out a way to get their top forwards going offensively.

Along with the game-changing penalty by Akeson, Philadelphia was whistled for three other infractions that didn't lead to New York goals but prevented the Flyers from mounting a serious comeback. They were outshot 13-1 in the final frame.
Philadelphia was outshot 36-15 overall.
"They did a good job of getting those two goals on the power play, and then after the two goals we tried too hard to get some offense going and got out of position," Flyers captain Claude Giroux said of the Rangers, who held him to no shots. "We didn't get a lot of shots, but we did a lot of good things.
"There is a reason why there are seven games. We need to see what we did wrong, and we will be ready for Game 2."
So will the Rangers, who now own a nine-game home winning streak over the Flyers.
"We are not going to overthink it here," Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist said. "We did a lot of good things, and we are going to continue building on that. It's one game, and we start over again on Sunday. You have to earn it every night."
The emergence of Brad Richards also gave the Rangers another shot of energy and optimism. Richards scored the go-ahead goal Thursday and then assisted on insurance tallies by Derek Stepan and Carl Hagelin in the third period.
Richards, a potential candidate to have his contract bought out over the summer, is proving his worth after a disappointing end to last year's postseason when he was benched for the final two games by former coach John Tortorella.
"We controlled play," Richards said. "In a series, sometimes having the puck and wearing them out can benefit you later in the game. That was our main goal. We would like to get more pucks to the net, and we will try to do that."

An engineer could pursue a claim for damages after he lost part of a finger during an accident at work.
James Hill was working for Metal Closures Huddersfield - an independent manufacturer of tin and aluminium packaging components - in August 2010 when his hand came into contact with the moving parts of a power press.
Mr Hill had recently been recruited by the firm to help in the development process of running and de-bugging a new production line incorporating two presses at its premises.
At the time of the incident, the professional attempted to remove several crushed caps from the jammed machine with some pliers when a colleague accidentally restarted the equipment.
This resulted in his right index finger getting amputated just below the second knuckle.
John Micklethwaite, inspector with the Health and Safety Executive, commented: "Power presses are inherently very dangerous machines, as everyone in the manufacturing industry knows."

The so-called war on Christmas has been going on for years and many people doesn`t want to say Merry Christmas anymore. «They» will rather say Happy Holiday. But president Trump saved America`s right to speak the words «Merry Christmas» again.
Mr Trump told the conservative student group, Turning Point USA, in a speech on Sunday in Florida. Trump said in 2016 that he promised to fix the issue of «they» attempting to take the word «Christmas out of Christmas.»
Do you remember? «They» were trying to take «Christmas out of Christmas.» «They» didn`t want you to say «Merry Christmas,» president Trump said. But, guess what? We`re saying Merry Christmas again!» Trump said.
A lot of people didn`t say Merry Christmas. «They» said Happy Holiday, and that phrase has been labeled anti-christmas. But who are «they?» It`s people who don`t believe in God, Jesus and religion.
Earlier this year, Notre Dame in France burned down, and the catastrophic fire could have been caused by a burning cigarette. Maybe, but a dozen Catholic churches have been desecrated across France in an egregious case of anti-Christian vandalism and that cannot be caused by a cigarette.
A series of acts of vandalism is seen at churches in Europe for decades, and that cannot be caused by a cigarette. You don`t have to be Einstein to understand that people who believe in God doesn`t want to burn down churches. Anti-christ will.
What we know from history is that Godless Communists have bombed and burned down hundreds of churches and killed priests. We know what Lenin did in Russia 100 years ago. A group of criminal terrorists who almost destroyed Russia, but now president Putin is fixing it.
We also know that «Greven» burned down three churches in Norway and moved to France were he live today. At that time he said he was a racist and a Notional socialist. He was also a member of White Aryan Resistance, but in 2008 he said in an interview that he don`t like Satanism and Nazism anymore.
Psychiatrists said he had defective mental abilities.
«Greven» inspired many people around the world to do they same. After he burned many churches in Europe, some people did the same in California, Texas, Italy and Australia. They all said they did it because they supported his satanic black-metal music.
We have people who believe on one side and those who don`t believe on the other side. But what give people who don`t believe in God to dictate others to stay away from their believes?
If the totalitarian police-state in Communist China find a bibel or coran in your apartment, they will put you in a re-education camp. Maybe torture you. They do not believe in God. There is no religion for them, and you have to do what they say.
In America, you have freedom of religion. You can read the bibel or coran and you can say what you want. There is freedom of speech too.
The so-called War on Christmas has been going on for a while. In 1959, they released a pamphled called «there Goes Christmas», in which they claimed that there was a new communist plot to «take the Christ out of Christmas» by replacing Christmas decorations with United Nations iconography.

Old politicians are out and we want to «drain the swamp» with a lot of new people and build a new type of government, Zelensky said
"The Hate Trump Media Mob" told you that the president of the United States, Donald Trump will be impeached. Not because of the Russia collusion Hoax. No, this time it is because they say Trump talked like a Mafia Boss. He pushed Zelensky.
The Media Mob said president Trump repeatedly pushed for Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter, during a July 25 phone call, according to a transcript of the conversation released by the White House.
But if you listen to president Zelensky himself, it is a different story. He said in a meeting with Trump that nobody pushed him. So, who are we gonna listen to? Can we trust the Media Mob this time?
The Media Mob have repeatedly said that Trump is unfit to be a president. The same is said about PM Boris Johnson. But what about Zelensky? He is the 6th president of Ukraine, and he is a Ukrainian comedian. Can you believe that? A comedian.
People voted for Zelensky because they didn`t want traditional politicians. Do you see the pattern here? The same happened in France when president Macron won the election. Traditional politicians are out.
People voted for Trump because he is a business man and not a politician. They all have the same goal: Drain the swamp! That`s what this positive populism is about.
Read the transcript below and see what president Zalensky said to Mr Trump. One of the things he said is this:
«We are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that."
The Democrats and the Media Mob wants to get rid of president Trump, and they want to impeach him because they believe that Trump pushed Zalensky to investigate Biden. Read the transcript below and make up your own mind.
Declassified by order of the President
MEMORANDUM OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
SUBJECT: Telephone Conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine
Participants: President Zelensky of Ukraine
Notetakers: The White House Situation Room
Date, Time July 25, 2019, 9:03-9:33 am EDT
and Place: Residence
The President: Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn't given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It's a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.
President Zelenskyy: You are absolutely right Mr. President. We did win big and we worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we were able to achieve a unique success. I'm able to tell you the following; the first time you called me to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.
The President: (laughter) That's a very good idea. I think your country is very happy about that.
President Zelenskyy: Well yes, to tell you the truth, we are trying to work hard because we wanted to drain the swamp here in our country. We brought in many many new people. Not the old politicians, not the typical politicians, because we want to have a new format and a new type of government. You are a great teacher for us and in that.
The President: Well it is very nice of you to say that. I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. Much more than the European countries are doing and they should be helping you more than they are. Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it's something that you should really ask them about. When I was speaking to Angela Merkel she talks Ukraine, but she ·doesn't do anything. A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it's something you want to look at but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.
President Zelenskyy: Yes you are absolutely right. Not only 100%, but actually 1000% and I can tell you the following; I did talk to Angela Merkel and I did meet with her I also met and talked with Macron and I told them that they are not doing quite as much as they need to be doing on the issues with the sanctions. They are not enforcing the sanctions. They are not working as much as they should work for Ukraine. It turns out that even though logically, the European Union should be our biggest partner but technically the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union and I'm very grateful to you for that because the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine. Much more than the European Union especially when we are talking about sanctions against the Russian Federation. I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost. ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you're surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible.
President Zelenskyy: Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that Mr. Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends around us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly.. That I can assure you.
The President: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it… It sounds horrible to me.
President Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all, I understand and I'm knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved, by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough.
The President: Well, she's going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I'm sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot of assets. It's a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people.
President Zelenskyy: I would like to tell you that I also have quite a few Ukrainian friends that live in the United States. Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future. I also wanted to thank you for your invitation to visit the United States, specifically Washington DC. On the other hand, I also want to ensure you that we will be very serious about the case and will work on the investigation. As to the economy, there is much potential for our two countries and one of the issues that is very important for Ukraine is energy independence. I believe we can be very successful and cooperating on energy independence with United States. We are already working on cooperation. We are buying American oil but I am very hopeful for a future meeting. We will have more time and more opportunities to discuss these opportunities and get to know each other better. I would like to thank you very much for your support.
The President: Good. Well, thank you very much and I appreciate that. I will tell Rudy and Attorney General Barr to call. Thank you. Whenever you would like to come to the White House, feel free to call. Give us a date and we'll work that out. I look forward to seeing you.
President Zelenskyy: Thank you very much. I would be very happy to come and would be happy to meet with you personally and get to know you better. I am looking forward to our meeting and I also would like to invite you to visit Ukraine and come to the city of Kyiv which is a beautiful city. We have a beautiful country which would welcome you. On the other hand, I believe that on September 1 we will be in Poland and we can meet in Poland hopefully. After that, it might be a very good idea for you to travel to Ukraine. We can either take my plane and go to Ukraine or we can take your plane, which is probably much better than mine.
The President: Okay, we can work that out. I look forward to seeing you in Washington and maybe in Poland because I think we are going to be there at that time.
President Zelenskyy: Thank you very much Mr. President.
The President: Congratulations on a fantastic job you've done. The whole world was watching. I'm not sure it was so much of an upset but congratulations.
President Zelenskyy: Thank you Mr. President bye-bye.

Strong and emotional speech from President Trump at 75th D-Day anniversary in Normandy
Another strong speech by President Trump at 75th D-Day anniversary in Normandy on Thursday. A very emotional speech and not at least; historic. I remember Bill Clinton and George Bush`s speeches but this one was very special. Not to say magic.
I have repeated myself for decades; Its all about the good people and the bad people. Thats it. The Nazi regime was a terrible terrorist regime and their goal was to take Europe, but they failed. The turning point was in Normandy in France and we can thank America for that.
They saved Europe from tyranny and gave Europe Freedom and liberty. "We pledge that our nations will for ever be strong and united," Trump said in the speech.
This year, it is 30 years since the Tinananmen Square massacre in China were the Communist party killed its own citizens. This year, it is 75 years since the battle in Normandy in France were the people won against the terrorists.

Eurosceptic parties are expected to make a strong showing at the polls on the ninth parliamentary election since 1979
The next election to the European Parliament is expected to be held between 23 and 26 May 2019, and will be the ninth parliamentary election since the first direct elections in 1979. A total of 751 members of the European Parliament (MEP`s) currently represent more than 512 million people from 28 member states.
The polarization of the European Parliament after the 2019 election is growing. Centrist parties, including center-left, center-right and liberal parties, are struggling to maintain a majority (376) of seats.
The ninth parliamentary election will make a big change because new parties such as Confederation and Kukiz15 of Poland, Czech Pirate Party of Czech Republic, Alliance, Basta! And Liberal Initiative of Portugal, USR and PLUS of Romania, LMS of Slovenia, Human Shield, Most and Workers Front of Croatia, L`SNS and Sme Rodina of Slovakia will participate.
For the liberals, the biggest hope is that the new La Rèpublique En Marche! of French President Macron will choose to join ALDE after the elctions.
However, En marche is expected to be more likely to try to form a new parliamentary group of pro-European centrists who support Macron`s plans to reform the European institutions, thus drawing away members from ALDE, EPP and S&D.
Possible partners for such a project might include Spanish Ciudadanos, Progressive Slovakia and the Hungarian Momentum Movement. While it is likely that En Marche will put together the minimum of 25 MEPs needed to form a group, the requirement to include MEPs from at least seven member states would be more difficult.
The European Spring initiated from the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 will run as a pan-European party alliance with one unified vision for Europe; the European Green New Deal.
The most prominent figure is the former Greek minister Yanis Varoufakis, who will run as candidate in the constituency of Germany.
Volt Europa, a pan-European progressive movement, will run in several countries under the same name in the attempt to form its own group.
The leader of the Italian Five Star Movement has expressed a desire to form an anti-establishment faction of their own within the EU.
Pablo Iglesias, Catarina Martins, Jean-Luc Mèlenchon and several others have formed an alliance in Maintenant le Peuple opposed to the PEL, but they are likely remain in GUE/NGL.
The Movement is an alliance of right-wing populist parties set up by Steve Bannon with the purpose of contesting the European elections. Participating parties include Lega Nord, People`s Party of Belgium and Brothers of Italy and possible French National Rally.
Originally envisioned as an attempt to unite the right-wing populist parties in Europe. The Movement has so far been snubbed by the Alternative for Germany, the Freedom Party of Austria and the UK Independence Party.
The biggest party is the European Peoples Party (EPP), followed by Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) + En Marche! Next can be Salvinis European Alliance of People and Nations (ex ENF).
EPP`s Incumbent Jean-Claude Juncker has stated he will not seek a second term as President. Two candidates sought the nomination of the EPP: Alexander Stubb, the Vice-President of the European Investment Bank, former prime minister, foreign minister and finance minister of Finland.
Manfred Weber, current group leader for the European People`s Party in the European Parliament and member of the Christian Social Union in Bavaria has been backed by Angela merkel as Spitzenkadidat for the party.
Oriol Junqueras, a Catalan historian, academic and former Vice President of Catalonia who is currently imprisoned because of his involvement in the 2017 Catalan independence referendum, is the Spitzenkadidat of the European Free Alliance.
Eurosceptic parties are expected to make a strong showing at the polls and all the Brexit-mess have made Eurosceptics more silent. So, instead of leaving the EU, Europes right-wing nationalists like Marine Le Pen of France, Italys Matteo Salvini, and the AfD will stay and rather try to «change the EU from the inside».
European economics commissioner Pierre Moscovici has warned of the dangers of a populist «breakthrough» for the EU`s future. He describes these elections as the «most delicate and most dangerous ever».
The nationalist Eurosceptics threatened to «destroy the EU as we know it», Pierre said. Choose your future.

The system is rigged and The Idea of a meritocracy has turned out to be a "myth"
President Donald Trump was right; the system is rigged. Dozens of parents are spending in some cases between $200,000 and $6,5 million US to ensure their children could gain entry into some of America`s most competitive colleges.
More than 50 wealthy individuals were charged this week in purportedly the largest college admission scam ever in th U.S. The scam reveals the depths parents will allegedly go so their kids can have an upper hand and tout first-class higher education credentials.
Critics of the U.S college admissions system say it also exposes a rigged playing field for admissions and who gets left behind, according to Cbc.
The Justice Department said wealthy parents paid a consulting firm to falsify athletic credentials with Photoshopped pictures of their children playing competitive sports they never played.
They also paid for arrangements to have SAT test-takers pose as their children, fabricate medical conditions to allow their children extra time to take tests, and bribe administrators of college entrance exams to look the other way when it came to their children`s cheating.
The $25-million scheme «drives home the reality that the education system is stacked in favour of the rich. The Idea of a meritocracy has turned out to be a «myth,» with the SAT acting as a form of «affirmative action for rich white kids,» author Joseph Soares said.
I`m not shocked at all, The West have lost its greatness long time ago and this is just the tip of the iceberg. You can imagine how it is if your soccer team have low-skilled players. You will lose every battle. So is it for a country.
You will end up with bad politicians, weak business leaders and fake news. If the kids learn to cheat at the school it will be worse in real life. Nothing is worse than a rotten elite. Just take a look at the real life among the elite Trump is trying to fix now. Manaford is the latest but I guess it will be more.
Trump has done a lot of thing to make America great again and this is the latest case. Trump who is a business man. Not a politician. The same can be said about president Macron. He started his own political party in the middle because people in France was sick and tired of the establishment.
The establishment is France didnt even follow their own constitution. They probably didnt learn it at their elite school. How is it possible? Look at the situation with the Yellow Vest protesters in France. This has been going on not only for years but decades.
Meritocracy is an Academic discipline from Ancient Greek. Philosophers tried to build a system and a great democracy but look at it today. They are not following the rules.
Meritocracy is a political philosophy that holds that certain things, such as economic goods or power, should be vested in individuals on the basis of talent, effort, and achievement, rather than factors such as sexuality, race, gender, age, or wealth.
Advancement in such a system is based on performance, as measured through examination or demonstrated achievement. The Meritocracy is the society in which the gifted, the smart, the energetic, the ambitious and the ruthless are carefully sifted out and helped towards their destined position of dominance.
In the United States, the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881 prompted the replacement of the American Spoils System with a meritocracy. In 1883, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was passed, stipulating government jobs should be awarded on the basis of merit through competitive exams, rather than ties to politicians ar political affiliation.
The concept has existed for centuries but the term «meritocracy» is relatively new. The earliest example of an administrative meritocracy, based on civil service examinations, dates back to Ancient China.
The concept originates, at least by the sixth century BC, when it was advocated by the Chinese philosopher Confucius, who «invented the notion that those who govern should do so because of merit, not of inherited status.
Ass the Qin and Han dynasties developed a meritocratic system in order to maintain power over a large, sprawling empire, it became necessary for the government to maintain a complex network of officials.
Prospective officials could come from a rural background and government positions were not restricted to the nobility. Rank was determined by merit, through the civil service examinations, and education became the key for social mobility.
One of the oldest examples of a merit-based civil service system existed in the imperial bureaucracy of China. Tracing back to 200 B.C, the Han Dynasty adopted Confucianism as the basis of its political philosophy and structure, which included the revolutionary idea of replacing nobility of blood with one virtue and honesty, and thereby calling for administrative appointments to be based solely on merits.
This system allowed anyone who passed an examination to become a government officer, a position that would bring wealth and honor to the whole family. In part due to Chinese influence, the first European civil service did not originate in Europe, but rather in India by the British-run East India Company.
Company managers hired and promoted employees based on competitive examinations in order to prevent corruption and favoritism.
Both Plato and Aristotle advocated meritocracy. Plato in his «The Republic,» arguing that the wisest should rule, and hence the rulers should be philosopher kings.

Your Vacation Isn't Worth Compromising Your Financial Security
A number of U.S. workers favor their smartphones, cars and vacations over their retirement plans. No, they aren't Millennials.
Jason Notte
Updated May 4, 2017 9:41 AM EDT
Don't go calling Millennials flighty and irresponsible: they're not the ones going into the red for a Samsung S8.
A survey by Voya Financial found that nearly half (45%) of Americans surveyed were willing to give up their financial security if it meant keeping either their smartphones, cars or vacations. But that isn't the frivolity of youth at work. Roughly 56% of Millennials (ages 18-32) said they were less willing to give up financial security to keep their smartphones, cars or vacations. Only 53% of Generation X (ages 33 to 52) and 50% of Baby Boomers (53 through 71) responded in kind.
In fact, 20% of Baby Boomers surveyed choose to keep their smartphone and forgo their financial security — more than any other generation (including 15% of Millennials and 14% of Gen X-ers). Meanwhile, 20% of Gen X would cling to their vacation in lieu of financial security, compared to 14% of Boomers and 13% of the younger generation.
"We all value the things that make our lives easier, more productive and give us joy — like spending vacation time with family and friends," says Carolyn Johnson, CEO of annuities and individual life at Voya Financial. "And while the goal of achieving financial security may feel daunting or perhaps even unreachable, Americans recognize its importance."
On the whole, Americans would rather be financially stable than flush with belongings or vacations. Only 16% would rather have their smartphones than financial stability, with vacations (15%) and cars (14%) also coming up short. However, there are signs that U.S. workers may be cheating on their retirement savings a bit by splurging now. According to a recent RBC Wealth Management poll, 63% of Americans age 50 and older say travel is an important retirement goal. However, about half say the high cost of travel could prevent them from achieving that goal.
That isn't incredibly surprising, even to non-retirees. Another survey by The Principal found that 20% of U.S. workers said travel blew their budget for 2016, putting its cost on par with food and groceries (20%) and just below dining out (25%). Financial firm UBS, meanwhile, discovered that 73% of Millennials (ages 18-34) focus on short-term needs and goals, such as homes and travel and believe that retirement is too far away to worry about. Nearly 30% have traveled the world for a month or more, more than half with retirement accounts have or would consider dipping into them to make a large purchase and with 25% have already raided their retirement savings for those purchases.
"Everyone is worried about whether they will have saved enough to fund a comfortable retirement," said Tom Sagissor, president of RBC Wealth Management-U.S. "The closer people get to retirement age, the more they begin to look at needs vs. wants. Often times, because of fear, the needs win out, putting bigger dreams like a trip to Greece or Beijing on hold. But there are many ways to rebalance assets to make travel, if that is indeed a goal, a reality."
Vacation spending isn't the only place U.S. consumers are compromising their financial security. Back in February, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced that total household debt increased by $226 billion (or 1.8%) to $12.58 trillion during the fourth quarter of 2016. That's the largest quarterly increase in total household debt since the fourth quarter of 2013 and $460 billion in debt more than U.S. consumers had amassed a year earlier. It also put debt just 0.8% below its peak of $12.68 trillion in the third quarter of 2008.
Almost every form of debt increased from the same time in 2015. Mortgage debt is up $231 billion to $8.48 trillion. Student loan debt increased $78 billion to $1.31 trillion. Auto loan debt is up $93 billion to $1.16 trillion. Credit card debt climbed by $46 billion to $779 billion. Even all of those figure may be low. According to the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C., revolving debt of all kinds exceeded $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016 for the first time since 2008 and returned to that mark again in February.
"Debt held by Americans is approaching its previous peak, yet its composition today is vastly different as the growth in balances has been driven by non-housing debt," says Wilbert van der Klaauw, senior vice president at the New York Fed. "Since reaching a trough in mid-2013, the rebound in household debt has been led by student debt and auto debt, with only sluggish growth in mortgage debt."
But it isn't Millennials getting into that debt: it's their overly friendly parents. According to UBS survey, a majority of Millennials see their parents as peers, mentors and friends, where Boomers saw their parents as authorities. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of Millennials say they spoke, texted or video chatted with their parents more than once a week during college, compared to 34% of Boomers who called or wrote their parents. However, Millennials are putting off marriage and children later than Boomers did, with 28% saying they have traveled the world for six months or more, compared to 12% of Baby Boomers.
Though a survey by The Principal Financial Group last year found that 84% of Millennials believe that they should be independent by age 25, they acknowledge that expenses such as their phone bill (12%), car insurance (8%), health insurance (7%) and rent (7%) are still being covered by parents. UBS, meanwhile, found that nearly three-quarters of Millennials (73%) still receive some sort of support from their parents. While 80% of parents are happy to provide it, those expenses include their adult children's health insurance (29%), rent/mortgage (28%), auto insurance (26%), utilities (23%), vacations (19%) and spending money (21%). According to investment firm Investec Wealth and Investment, that's led overgenerous parents and grandparents include to cut back on meals out (42%), home improvement plans (39%), clothes (24%), hobbies (21%), food shopping (11%) and, unfortunately, travel (50%).
"It's understandable that many grandparents want to give their grown-up children and grandchildren a helping hand financially, particularly with big ticket items such as house deposits and education fees," say Chris Aitken, head of financial planning at Investec Wealth & Investment said. "But generosity has its limits and we would strongly advise people to stick to what they can afford without if affecting their own quality of life."
Millennials themselves not only avoid debt but are less tolerant of credit-card debt overall. As credit agency Equifax discovered, about 70% of college students have one or more credit cards, but a slightly higher percentage pay their balances in full each month. In a survey of more than 600 college students ages 18 to 24, 16% of respondents using credit cards for emergencies only and 72% pay off their credit card balances each month on their own -- while only 18% said their parents helped pay off their balances every month.
Even if they haven't paid their balances of within the month, more than half with outstanding balance (59%) plan to pay it off within a year. They're one of the biggest reasons why the percentage of U.S. households with credit cards carrying revolving debt has decreased from 44% in 2009 to just 34% today, according to the National Foundation For Credit Counseling.
Though 67% of Millennials hold a credit card, according to Experian, 71% have never maxed one out a credit card, 77% have never had their credit card interest rate increased and 58% pay the full balance instead of the minimum each month. That isn't exactly surprising, considering that the average 2016 college graduate is carrying $37,172 in student loan debt, according to college and scholarship site Cappex. That up 6% from last year, with debt carried by 70.1% of all graduates. That's also up from $12,759 two decades ago, when just 54% of all students graduated with debt. If there's a way to bite into that debt and avoid its repercussions, they're going to ask about it. Their elders need to think about doing the same.
"We understand no one wants to sacrifice modern conveniences like our smartphones and cars to plan for retirement," says Voya's Johnson. "Fortunately, this is where closely working with a financial professional can help every generation create a holistic plan that works for their lifestyle today, while also preparing them for tomorrow."

Toussaint L'Ouverture High School for Arts & Social Justice + 10 students from Haiti = an amazing opportunity!
Art Creation Foundation for Children (ACFFC) is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to the education and personal growth of youth in need in Jacmel, Haiti. ACFFC youth began working on mosaic installations after the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, to memorialize lives lost and to celebrate hope for the future. Their first installation was called Tree of Life. Since then, through our
"Mosaïque Jacmel" project, mosaic mural installations and benches have been created throughout Jacmel, aesthetically enhancing the face of the city.
Recently, ten ACFFC youth have been invited to visit South Florida by Major Joseph Bernadel, ACFFC Board Member and Chief Operating Officer of Toussaint L'Ouverture High School for Arts and Social Justice (TLHS), a charter school located in Delray Beach Florida. They will be arriving on November 2, 2013.
TLHS has a student body of predominantly Haitian-American new immigrant high school students. Together with TLHS students, ACFFC Team Mosaïque Jacmel youth will be creating a public art mosaic installation in Boynton Beach, Florida to honor the
people of Florida who have generously come to the aid of the people of Haiti, after numerous natural disasters. The ACFFC youth, special Emissaries of the Haitian People, are here to say thank you. The events will take place November 2 – 19 2013, the month typically associated with Thanksgiving in the U.S. This public art project is to be registered with the State of Florida as part of Viva Florida 500, a statewide initiative led by the Florida Department of State, to highlight the 500 years of Florida history, people, places and events in present-day Florida and to celebrate diversity of culture.
The ACFFC youth will also be bringing with them a mosaic mural memorializing the many Haitian lives lost at sea, and the perils of these journeys. This mural will be presented to Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, Inc. (FANM) / Haitian Women of Miami. FANM will share the exhibition with the Haitian community. It is an organization founded in 1991 to work for the "social and political empowerment" of Haitian women and their families.
In addition, the ACFFC team will be auditing academic classes at TLHS, visiting the Palm Beach Photographic Centre in West Palm Beach, the Palm Beach County Cultural Council, Clay-Glass-Stone Cooperative Gallery in Lake Worth and other social activities are being planned. Selected ACFFC team members will travel to Washington DC to visit the Haitian Embassy and Capitol Hill.

An article in today's Journal Sentinel about the universal breakfast program in some city of Milwaukee public schools (MPS) schools focuses on the notion that breakfast is expected to improve a child's achievement level. There are doubters to this notion, who point out that the breakfasts served to every student in the classroom take time out of the instructional day. Maybe the value of school breakfast for an individual student's achievement level is not the right frame for evaluating this program. From my own experience as an education researcher and an MPS parent, universal school breakfast seems like it could have a more immediate beneficial impact on a school's budget.
Let me explain. For three years during the implementation of the Neighborhood Schools Initiative, my fellow PPF researchers and I made case study observations at four MPS schools. What struck us all the most were the complicated logistics of running a school. Principals spend an extraordinary amount of time on things that impact how the school operates during the school day...which obviously has an indirect effect on what goes on in the classroom...but all the principals we worked with expressed a desire to have more time to spend on pedagogy. Figuring out how many lunch hours to have, how to get the 8th graders in and out of the lunch room without running over the kindergartners, and when certain grades could be on the playground at the same time, on which days, were all issues that needed attention. And all those movements of classes and recesses and lunch hours have to be supervised by someone. The teachers' contract controls how much time teachers can spend on those types of out-of-classroom supervisory functions, so paraprofessionals and administrators are often the ones doing the supervising.
This year, at my son's school, Elm Creative Arts, budget cuts threatened some of the arts specials that are at the heart of the school's mission and curriculum. So a very creative school administration and governance council decided to keep the curriculum intact by getting rid of one lunch period. Once they've finished their lunch, younger children go to recess and older students can participate in sports or arts "clubs" until the lunch period is over. This simple change was expected to save the school about $10,000. But it also meant that for the younger children, lunch came later in the day than they had been used to.
So here's where school breakfast comes in. By ensuring that every student starts the school day with a good breakfast, schools with the facilities to do so may be able to offer one lunch period. Elm has seen the positive impact a single lunch period can have on the school budget. Of course, the costs of offering the heavily-subsidized breakfast program would have to be outweighed by the savings in order for the change to make sense from a budgetary standpoint. But if breakfast can potentially improve student achievement, while also improving a school's bottom line, then it seems like a good business to be in.

Legal Disputes - Civil & Criminal Law
Hearsay - Explained
What is Hearsay?
Updated at March 8th, 2022
What is Hearsay?Hearsay ExampleAbout Double HearsayWhat are some of the Common Hearsay Exceptions?When a Declarant is Unavailable to give a Testimony in Court
Hearsay is "an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein." Hearsay testimony occurs when one person testifies about what another person said. The creation of hearsay rule came into place to help prevent individuals from unfair convictions using gossips. Hearsay evidence is inadmissible in some courts except where Hearsay Rule applies.
Back To: Legal Disputes: Civil and Criminal Law
Note that there is no evidence exclusion when it comes to the hearsay rule, especially when the evidence is an operative fact. Also, when it comes to the language of commercial offer and admissibility, hearsay may have an exception of admissibility. The reason is that there is an independent legal significance in each statement.
Hearsay Example
For instance, to prove that Rose was in the hospital, the attorney will ask a witness, what did John tell you about Rose being in the hospital? Note that the answer of the witness will rely on the statement that John made. So, if John isn't present in court for cross-examination, then the answer of the witness is treated as hearsay. The justification of the objection is that the person who made the statement is not in court to confirm it. If the attorney's question has the intention of proving the truth about Rose being in the hospital, then the answer is not acceptable. However, if the question is for finding out if John actually made the statement, then the answer may be accepted in court. It is worth noting that those jurisdictions that do not permit hearsay evidence in courts do allow its extensive use in non-judicial hearings.
About Double Hearsay
Double hearsay refers to a hearsay statement that has another hearsay statement in it. For instance, lets assume that a witness wants to give a testimony that a statement from a very reliable person confirms that Wools-Sampson told her. Note that both the statements of Wools-Sampson and the very reliable person are hearsay submissions when it comes to the witness. The second hearsay (Wools-Sampsons statement) is highly dependent on the first hearsay (the very reliable persons statement). Both hearsays must be considered separately admissible in a court of law. The reason is that the first hearsays source is anonymous and for the anonymous statement to be acceptable, depends on the liberation of the extra-legal burden of proof.
What are some of the Common Hearsay Exceptions?
In the federal rules, there are twenty-three exceptions that allow hearsay statements as valid evidence. Nonetheless, only a few are frequently apply. The following exceptions are the most common: When explaining a situation and was stated immediately after or during the event. Uttering while a person is in excitement mood (excited utterance) is one of the exceptions. However, for this exception to apply, the requirements are that the startling even must- have existed. Also, the declarant must have made the statement while under the exciting event. Making a statement to show the state of mind and not to offer the truth; if this is the case, it becomes an exception to the hearsay rule. For example, lets assume that there is testimony regarding a heated argument. Such testimony may show that there was anger and not what is in the statement.
When a Declarant is Unavailable to give a Testimony in Court
There are also other exceptions to the hearsay rule, which are applicable in a situation where the declarant is not available for cross-examination. The situation may include:
If by law the court declares that the declarant testimony is not necessary
If the declarant decides not to testify
If the declarant has forgotten the unfolding of the events
If the declarant happens to be dead or suffer a mental illness that incapacitates him or her to testify in court.
If the declarant is missing in court and his or her whereabouts are unknown.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mike Ross and Republican Asa Hutchinson tried to portray one another as out of touch with Arkansas voters as they clashed over the minimum wage, health care and other issues at a debate Friday.
The two ex-congressmen primarily focused on each other as they squared off in a four-man debate hosted by the Arkansas Press Association at the group's convention.
"He's totally disconnected from working families in Arkansas," Ross said about Hutchinson.
Ross criticized Hutchinson for not supporting a ballot measure to gradually raise Arkansas' minimum wage from $6.25 an hour to $8.50 an hour by 2017. Supporters of the proposed initiated act submitted petitions Monday to the secretary of state's office to try and put the proposal before voters in November.
"He does not trust the voters to decide whether or not the minimum wage in Arkansas should be increased," Ross said.
Hutchinson said he believed the minimum wage should be raised to at least the federal level of $7.25 an hour, but said it's an issue that should be decided by the Legislature since amending the initiated act would require a two-thirds vote.
"It's just good government and responsible government if you raise the minimum wage through the Legislature," Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson accused Ross of being inconsistent on health care, criticizing him for supporting a version the federal health overhaul in a House committee. Ross voted against the overhaul that was signed into law and voted for its repeal in Congress.
Ross then accused Hutchinson of misrepresenting his record, saying he was one of three Democrats who voted to repeal the act.
The debate also featured Libertarian nominee Frank Gilbert, who proposed issuing pardons to all non-violent drug offenders, and Green Party nominee Joshua Drake, who said he backs legalizing gay marriage.
Candidates for lieutenant governor and attorney general also debated at the convention.
The two major-party candidates for lieutenant governor sparred over who is a "career politician." Democratic nominee John Burkhalter, a businessman and former state highway commissioner, threw that label at Republican nominee and U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin. Griffin participated in the debate via Skype from Washington.
"I think in this race, there's going to be a distinction between a career politician who's been in Washington, D.C., for 20 years versus a small businessman who's been in Arkansas for 30 years building business and helping people," Burkhalter said.
Griffin noted he's only been in Congress for less than four years and questioned whether Burkhalter was slighting his running mate's experience.
"If he's talking about a career politician, he's not talking about me, he's talking about Mike Ross," Griffin said.
Libertarian nominee Christopher Olson said he supported abolishing the lieutenant governor's office. Griffin and Burkhalter oppose that move.
The candidates for attorney general were split over whether to use the office to fight the federal government.
Republican nominee Leslie Rutledge continued her vow that she would challenge federal laws and regulations that she says harm the state.
"As attorney general, I want to use the office to go after the federal government when necessary to protect Arkansans," Rutledge said.
Democratic nominee Nate Steel said he's also frustrated by the federal government, but accused Rutledge of focusing too much on national issues and not enough on the state.
"I don't think that the solution to an overreaching federal government is an overreaching attorney general," Steel said.
Libertarian nominee Aaron Cash said he supports legalizing marijuana, a stance Rutledge and Steel both said they oppose.


netflix movie ratings is virus-free!
We've analyzed the latest version of netflix movie ratings with 30 antivirus engines and found that it's virus-free.
i have spent a couple of years testing uninstallers and have not been overwhelmed or even "whelmed" by what was available for free or for fee. no matter what i experimented with, there was always trash left behind, either in registry entries or files or folders. in installed revo and played with it in virtual mode and was surpirsed by what i didn't find. i made the move to a regular install and went at it again. i still liked what i was seeing. the only hitch i found turned out to be a problem with my system and not revo uninstaller. i liked the idea of tracking an installation so i sprang for the fee and tried it again. i tried it again with two versions fo the same program in the same directory which would leave overlap in some of the dll files. using the uninstall function in conjunction with the traced install, i played and uninstalled and reinstalled the two versions. never did it bark at me or leave an unexpected result. i still like the free version but have found the fee version to be outstanding and 100% trustworthy. with al the work i do and being the perpetual tinkerer, it has been worth every penny. thanks revo!
victor,if you are a db administrator, this is not the tool for you!are you for real comparing this free app to toad (00) !??? do you also compare a bicycle to a jumbo jet?now, you have to maintain a simple web app, using db engine, now this is where this app can be handy regardless if you have a job or not.it's portable assuming .net framework is available.5* just to compensate your "review"
just install and it works.
nokia pc suite freezes my pc everytime i run the "get connected" wizard.then i have to do a hard reset. been trying for 3 days to fix it.i'm an it professional with an otherwise stable xp pro system.very frustrating.

Members Get a Bigger Allowance
By Paul Singer
Posted January 15, 2009 at 2:31pm
In an apparent reaction to the economic crisis facing the country, the House has decided to increase the allowances of Members of Congress so they can spend more money representing their constituents.
According to several Congressional sources, the House Administration Committee has alerted Members that their office accounts will increase by an average of $90,000 this year, an overall increase of about $40 million and significantly more that the increases of recent years.
Every year, each House Member is provided a Member Representational Allowance, which pays for staff salaries, mailing costs, office supplies and the other miscellaneous costs of running a Congressional office. The amount allotted to each Member varies based on how far they have to travel to and from their district and other factors, but in 2008, the allowances ranged from $1.3 million to $1.6 million for each office, according to the Congressional Research Service.
In recent years, the MRAs have increased each year by about $25,000-$30,000 per office, several sources said, making this year's increase remarkable.
"As a result of the current economic crisis, more pressure than ever is being placed on Member's district offices to ensure that they have the necessary resources as they work to address expanded constituent needs," Kyle Anderson, spokesman for the House Administration Committee Democrats, said in an e-mail to Roll Call. "Additionally, unprecedented increases in travel expenses, district office utilities and other related operational expenses must be incorporated into Member's Representational Allowances.
"Failure to address these rising expenses could result in resources having to be diverted from key areas such as constituent service and Member outreach. The increase in the MRA will allow Member's offices to continue to effectively serve their constituents during this difficult period."
One House Republican chief of staff said that in his four years in the job "we've certainly never had a bump that big … and it was not what I was expecting. We probably won't use it all."
The increases are still only projected numbers, Anderson said, based on anticipated appropriations for 2009 and 2010. The Appropriations Committee has traditionally approved a little less than the full amount the House Administration Committee has suggested, so the final number may be slightly lower, several staff members said.
And some Members make a practice of spending less than they are given each year. Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.) made a pledge to hand back money every year, and spokeswoman Anne Lupardus Hanson said that with the $82,000 he returned at the end of 2008, Kind has now given back more than $1 million to the U.S. Treasury in his six terms.
