Breaking: UD Pulls the Plug on the Data Center/Power Plant

I just got an email on this and there isn't much available yet. From WDEL:
UD announced it has terminated its lease with The Data Centers (TDC), putting a halt to TDC's plans to develop a data center on the site of the former Chrysler plant.

The Second Treasurer’s Debate (Democratic Version)

Tuesday night was a debate sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists between Chip Flowers and Sean Barney. Unfortunately, I could not go, but a friend was there and provides this Guest Post of the proceedings:
