BMO Harris Bradley Center, Milwaukee, WI
MILWAUKEE -- Larry Brown knew exactly why his Charlotte Bobcats lost to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Richard Jefferson made two free throws with 9 seconds left to help the Bucks beat the Charlotte Bobcats 101-96 on Friday night.
Fast Facts
• Milwaukee is 13-3 all-time against Charlotte, having won the last four games against the franchise.
• Bucks forward Richard Jefferson is averaging 22.2 ppg in his last six games.
• Charlotte's Emeka Okafor is shooting 65.8 percent from the field in his last eight games.
-- ESPN research
His rebound of a missed free throw by Charlie Villanueva with 10.6 seconds left was another key. On the play, Jason Richardson fouled out of the game when he collided with Jefferson going for the rebound.
Jefferson made both free throws for the final points.
"The whole game was just boards and second chances," Brown said. "They got 22 points off second chances and they got 14 offensive rebounds. That was the whole key to the game."
The Bobcats had eight second-chance points, but had 34 points in the paint to the Bucks' 30.
Charlotte hit a season-high 10 3-pointers in 19 attempts, shooting 52.6 percent. That was the highest percentage from behind the arc that Milwaukee has allowed this season. Plus, the Bobcats shot 51.4 percent from the floor, while Milwaukee managed to shoot 48 percent.
And, still they lost as Milwaukee outrebounded them 41 to 27, including an offensive rebounding edge of 14 to 7.
"At the end of the day, it was just the fact that we couldn't rebound the ball defensively and that killed us," Brown said.
Michael Redd scored 25 points in his third game back since missing 14 games because of a sprained right ankle. Jefferson added 22, and Luke Ridnour had 14.
The Bucks, who never led by more than seven, made five free throws in the final minute.
Richardson scored 20 points, Emeka Okafor and Raymond Felton each had 19, and D.J. Augustin, the ninth overall pick in the 2008 draft, added 13 for the Bobcats. Charlotte won its previous two games.
"We played pretty good, but the rebound thing hurt us," Richardson said.
Andrew Bogut said that the Bucks were fortunate to get the win.
"It's good to get a win, but looking back, we didn't play pretty well," Bogut said. "You can't take a lot of positives out of it when they shoot 52 percent from the field. We're very, very lucky to get a win."
Bogut had 10 points and 10 rebounds and showed no ill effects from the migraine headache he suffered after taking an inadvertent blow to the head during the third quarter of Wednesday night's game.
Ridnour's 3-pointer gave the Bucks a 92-87 lead with 4:20 left to play, but Felton answered with a layup to pull the Bobcats back within two with 3:57 left.
Jefferson then made two free throws for the Bucks just before Okafor tipped in a miss to make it 94-91 at the 1:31 mark.
Redd missed from in close, but the Bucks got a break when Richardson was called for a charge with 21.5 seconds left when he knocked over Andrew Bogut on a drive.
Ridnour sank both free throws to make it 98-94, but Okafor took a pass from Augustin and scored to pull the Bobcats to 98-96 with 12.1 seconds left.
Gerald Wallace had to be restrained by his Bobcats teammates after Ridnour fouled him on a baseline drive late in the second quarter. Augustin stepped between Wallace and Ridnour, who glared at each other. Ridnour made the technical called on Wallace, who then sank one of two free throws.
Game notes
Bucks G Charlie Bell was inactive for the second consecutive game because of a sore right ankle. ... The University of Arizona will dedicate the Richard Jefferson Gymnasium on Dec. 8. Jefferson, who led the Wildcats to the 2001 national championship game, made the lead gift of $3.5 million in the Campaign Arizona Phase II athletic building plan.

New year, new hope for the Knicks
GREENBURGH, N.Y. — On the court, Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony ran up and down the floor, teammates in a scrimmage that brought a glimmer of the promise that eventually the Knicks will be back to full strength and even better than the 21-9 record they bring into the new year.
But when they will bring that lineup into a game remains a mystery as the Knicks prepare for their first step into 2013 tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Stoudemire, a day after practicing fully for the first time and insisting that Monday's workout would be the key to his comeback, looked good — but didn't speak with reporters afterward. Anthony did, but put a damper on his return by describing his hyperextended left knee as having no lift.
Two players who were not on the court for the two days of practice, Jason Kidd (resting) and Tyson Chandler (ankle), both are probable for this game. But when Stoudemire and Anthony will be back is an unknown. Anthony said the 24 hours before tonight's game could be enough; the decision on Stoudemire is much more uncertain.
Trying to rehabilitate his way back from knee surgery that has sidelined him this season, Stoudemire said Sunday that he didn't believe he was at 80 percent of the normal strength in his knee, and even when the forward looked good Monday, Knicks coach Mike Woodson cautioned that he still is a work in progress.
"From a conditioning standpoint, he's not there," Woodson said. Still, when the scrimmage was over Stoudemire worked with assistant coach Darrell Walker on the defensive schemes.
"In terms of some of the terminology and the things that we want done from a defensive standpoint, that's why he's still down there now," Woodson added. "We're trying to go over a few things to kind of get him up to [speed]. It's still going to take a little while for him. That's expected.
"You can't expect that when he does decide to play, that he's going to flow right in and everything's going to happen magically for him because that's not always the case."
Though Stoudemire said Monday that he thought the team needed him and even at less than 100 percent he could help, his role remains as uncertain as his health. Woodson has been hesitant to determine if Stoudemire could come off the bench or jump right into the starting lineup.
"We have to be cautious when we approach games because he won't be able to play big minutes early," Woodson said. "That's already been determined. So we've got to gradually work him back."

Gov. Pat McCrory said Monday that no state money would be available for the Carolina Panthers, complicating the teams bid for public money to help upgrade Bank of America Stadium.
The team has asked the state for $62.5 million toward a planned $250 million stadium renovation.
We dont have the money in the state to address that issue, McCrory told the Observer Monday. I have never been actually asked for the $62 million, nor do we have it.
McCrory also said the team doesnt qualify for an incentive grant from the state Commerce department. His comments came during an appearance at the Charlotte Chamber to announce a corporate headquarters relocation.
The decision represents a setback for the Panthers. It comes four days after legislators effectively turned down a city of Charlotte plan that would have given the team $144 million.
Panthers President Danny Morrison said he remains optimistic.
We have met with state officials multiples times, he said in a statement. They have always been supportive of our efforts and indicated the importance of the Panthers to both the State and Charlotte. We are hopeful that ultimately these assurances translate into support for the team.
The city proposed raising the $144 million by doubling its prepared food and beverage tax to 2 percent. In return, the Panthers would agree to keep the team in Charlotte for 15 years. But the city needs legislative approval to raise the tax.
On Thursday a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation that would instead let the city use existing local taxes for the Panthers. The measure would let the city use existing occupancy and prepared food taxes now earmarked for tourism and the Charlotte Convention Center to pay for stadium renovations and amateur sports.
Those taxes would provide enough money to fund $110 million in new debt, the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority reported in January. If used just for the stadium, that would still be $34 million less than the team is seeking.
Deputy City Manager Ron Kimble, a lead negotiator in the stadium talks, said last week that those taxes wouldnt generate enough money for the Panthers, amateur sports and the convention center. He said it wouldnt be fiscally prudent nor maybe possible to support the stadium, the convention center and amateur sports out of the existing revenue sources.
Its unclear whether the city will make a counterproposal. One council member said last week the city may push for a smaller tax increase. But Monday, Rep. Ruth Samuelson, a Charlotte Republican and lead sponsor of the bill to help the Panthers with existing taxes, said any bill raising taxes wont go anywhere.
McCrory said the addition of amateur sports to the citys original proposal, an effort backed by the tourism industry, isnt helping matters.
There are a lot of other issues interfering with the initial goal of the Panthers, including amateur sports issues, which is confusing a lot of folks in the legislature right now, McCrory said.
No incentives
At Mondays jobs announcement, the governor said Areva, a French-owned energy company, had received a $2.5 million incentive from the states Job Development Investment Grant to relocate its North American headquarters to Charlotte. But he apparently closed the door on any similar help for the Panthers.
The governor said the team doesnt meet the grants criteria, which include creating a net increase in employment. Even if it did, he added, the fund used up much of its money under his Democratic predecessor.
Gov. (Bev) Perdue, in her last three months in office, used up most of the JDIG money, McCrory said.
Samuelson said McCrory called her Sunday night and told her the state couldnt help.
The door for a while appeared to be open for something from Commerce, she said Monday. That was the first I heard that door was pretty much closed.
Samuelson said the team, and city, may have to reset their priorities.
You still go back to the idea of phased renovations, and can phased renovations work? she said.

Thanks for the latest. I'll add it to the hopper.
I spoke with XXXX XXXXX, the managing editor, about the Quran cartoon and he said we should refrain from running the Quran cartoon in light of the controversy surrounding the Danish cartoons that caused massive protests in the Middle East. Obviously, your cartoon doesn't depict Mohammed in a derogatory manner. But due to the sensitive nature of the topic, he felt it's best we avoid it if possible.
Please call with any questions.
Actual quote from Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond below: (minus the "Ted, please administer the formal apology")
Col. Ted Martin kissing a Koran. Pucker-up butter cup.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience. In short, I'm looking for an expedited Murphy cartoon for next week's issue. There are several in the queue that I'm sure would draw some laughs, but concerns have been raised about their publication.
Deputy News Editor | Army Times
Thanks for passing along another cartoon. I was planning on running No. 72, "Sandstorm Port-o-jon," in next week's paper. But i just had a couple of quick questions:
* Can you edit the cartoon to lowercase the word "sandstorm," in keeping with our AP format?
* I think the term, Port-o-john, is spelled with an "h." See http://www.reference.com/search?r=13&q=Port-a-john
Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark!
Hi, Mark.
Here's the rundown on cartoons we decided not to use:
"When East meets West" - We felt it might be a little too controversial for some of our readers given the cultural sensitivities. We are running "East meets West II" however.
"Meet the Press" - This could damage the newspaper's credibility. While you have a good point about some media, it could cast a negative light on us as well.
"Times Change" - We don't get a sense from readers such discord exists with a "Wives Club" and don't want to play the role of instigator.
"Fear an d Loathing in Las Vegas" - At first we didn't get the reference, so we felt readers might be a little confused as well.
I'm holding onto the Purell cartoon for awhile. My understanding is we ran one featuring Purell not too long ago, so I'm trying to space it out before running another.
Let me know what you think. Hope you have a fun New Year's.
Sorry to bog you down at once, but there are couple things I wanted to mention about the cartoons.
We need to use a word other than 'turds' in the two attached cartoons. That's an image we don't want people thinking about over their breakfast cereal. While you and I can handle it, a vocal group of our readers would complain, I guarantee.
Out of curiosity, where did the name Lekrons come from? Is he based on a real dude?
Also, while Soldier's Angels is a good cause, we get into a situation where there are a lot of groups like them and they may all want similar treatment. So we can't use that one.
On a bright note, I'm running your MP3 cartoon this week, which is one of my favorites, followed up by your fun Geardo cartoons.
If you got any questions, let me know. Right now we've got six Murphys waiting to run.
Hey Mark,
The text in the middle of this cartoon is difficult to read. Please move over the dialogue bubble (is that what you call it?).
Thanks for your work this year. I hate to bundle corrections, but I have done so anyway and I hope they help. Thanks for hearing me out, and call me with questions. -JR
No. 50, Nuclear piss test
Remove �quite literally� because Sgt. Lekrons did not physically flush his career down the toilet. He did so figuratively.
The passage should read �No joke. He flushed his career down the toilet.�
No. 57, Sick call
Have the P.A. ask something less gross than �How soft is your stool?� Also, try to rewrite the last frame so it doesn�t say anal suppositories.
No. 58, Sniffing dogs
At first, I didn�t know what the soldiers were doing. Then I got it: It was two dudes checking each others� patches and awards out, measuring each other up. I think you should make that clearer.
No. 60, Email from the boss man
You told me it�s an excerpt from a real email. That�s cool, and the reader should know that, too. Also, I understood the e-mail after reading it twice and discovered that its main problem is that it lacks punctuation. If it were punctuated correctly, it wouldn�t be as hard to follow. What do you think should change on this one?
No. 63, Promotion woes
The number 8-5512 at the beginning is a bit confusing. Let us know what that means. As for the punch line, do you have a larger point to make to soldiers instead asking the caller to cry for help?
"Kids" is a good cartoon. Two concerns:
Serious about what? I'll pass "Change" on to higher ups and see what they have to say. Still, if we use "Change," that leaves you with one remaining for next week.
My friend Keath Warlick - former Marine - writes this blog. He's looking for feedback, please come check it out and post comments.

I have a Heil furnace......when the target temperature is hit the furnace blower continues to run and does not shut off. I can even set the target temperature below the actual temperature and it still runs. What is going on with this thing?
Make sure that the fan switch at the tstat is in the auto position. Other then that, you may have a bad relay, circuit board, or comb. fan/limit control and will need to patronize your local heating contractor.
"The road to Hell is paved with progressive policies."
Doesnt shut off soon enough for YOU? or never shuts off?
If I know I'm going Crazy,I must not be Insane
The blower will stay on always.......will not shut off unless I turn off power. I have checked the position of fan....it is in the auto position not the on position.
Than you need to call for service.
either the relay switch stuck closed or the fan switch is stuck on fan/limit control.

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to email@example.com. Are there any good story lines coming up for Cristina and Owen on Grey's Anatomy? — Heather NATALIE: Meredith and Callie might be on the baby train, but Cristina is definitely not. Which is bad news for Owen, who's going to start to get the procreation itch himself, according to Kevin McKidd. "They rushed into their marriage at the start of the season, and the conversations they never quite had on fundamental things about life, not just children, are going to start to creep back in," he tells us. "There are going to be some bumps for them."

Lie to Me's third season finale Monday and the uncertainty of its future left fans hungry for more — more criminal psychology, more romantic tensions and more of Tim Roth talking with his mouth full.
In the Fox drama, the Lightman Group specializes in interpreting microexpressions and body language, and leader Cal Lightman (Roth) is an expert at manipulating his own body's language to fluster and confuse people into inadvertently revealing their true motives. Executive producers Alexander Cary and David Graziano explain that Roth deliberately created Lightman's odd food mannerisms as part of his character's work strategy.

Exams and TestsIn people with symptoms of a common cold or a rash, no tests are usually needed. In people with conjunctivitis, the doctor may examine the eyes using a handheld ophthalmoscope to confirm the diagnosis. If a sore throat is present, the doctor may take a swab and do a rapid test to rule out strep throat. In aseptic meningitis, a doctor may take a sample of the spinal fluid by doing a spinal tap. Most patients with aseptic meningitis will show an increase in the number of white cells in the spinal fluid, a normal sugar level, and normal to slightly elevated protein level in the fluid. These changes in the spinal fluid are much milder than would be seen with bacterial meningitis. A sample of the spinal fluid may be cultured to see if it grows coxsackievirus, but culture is difficult and expensive and many hospitals do not have the ability to do it. More recently, a rapid test called the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used that detects the genetic material of the virus. The PCR can detect 66%-90% of infections. Myopericarditis is a serious condition and requires evaluation with an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) and an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram). The electrocardiogram may show rhythm problems caused by the enlargement of the heart and may reveal whether the sac around the heart is inflamed. The echocardiogram shows how large the heart is, how well it pumps blood, and whether there is fluid around the heart. Blood tests are done to tell if other organs are being damaged.

The company in charge of building Cincinnati's streetcars says the city would incur substantial costs if it cancels the streetcar project after it's already gone through some construction and design work.
The Nov. 30 letter from CAF USA Vice President Virginia Verdeja to former Mayor Mark Mallory arrived just one day before Mayor John Cranley, who opposes the streetcar project, and an anti-streetcar majority were sworn in.
"CAF will have to recover all the incurred expenses as well as all the additional cost of cancelling the contract, which would be substantial too," Verdeja writes in the letter.
The letter explains that, on top of the sunk expenses on design work, cancellation would require CAF to pull back on various established deals with subcontractors, which would spur further costs.
For streetcar supporters, the letter renews fears of litigation that could crop up if the project were canceled and contractors decided to pursue their full payday. Those legal costs would fall on the already-strained operating budget that pays for day-to-day services like police and firefighters instead of the capital budget that finances big capital projects like the streetcar, according to city spokesperson Meg Olberding.
The letter was first posted on the Cincinnati Streetcar Facebook page. Its validity was confirmed in an email to CityBeat from former Mallory staffer Jason Barron.
On Nov. 21, Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick warned the costs of canceling the $132.8 million streetcar project could nearly reach the costs of completion after accounting for $32.8 million in estimated sunk costs through November, a potential range of $30.6-$47.6 million in close-out costs and up to $44.9 million in federal grant money that would be lost if the project were terminated.
Earlier on Sunday, hundreds of streetcar supporters rallied in Washington Park and walked the planned streetcar route in support of the project. They're threatening a referendum if the new City Council moves to pause or cancel the project.
City Council plans to vote on pausing the project on Monday. Because of threats from the federal government that a mere delay could lead to the loss of federal grants, streetcar supporters claim a pause would equate to cancellation.
Read the full letter below:
Updated at 6:13 p.m. with the PDF of the letter.
Early voting for the 2013 City Council and mayoral elections is now underway. Find your voting location here. Normal voting hours will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although some days will be extended.
City leaders will host an event today to lay down the first streetcar track. The event will take place at 11 a.m. near Music Hall at Elm and 12th streets. The moment has been years in the making for Cincinnati, which continued pursuing the streetcar project through two referendums, Gov. John Kasich's decision to pull $52 million from the project and a separate $17.4 million budget gap. Meanwhile, ex-Councilman John Cranley, citing costs, says he would cancel the project if he wins the mayoral election against streetcar supporter Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls on Nov. 5, even though canceling at this point could cost more than completing the project.
More than 3,000 Cincinnatians who already voted early will get new ballots in the mail after an Ohio Supreme Court decision forced the Hamilton County Board of Elections to change the ballot language for Issue 4, the tea party-backed city charter amendment that would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system. Sally Krisel, deputy director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, says the old ballots will at least count for every candidate and issue except Issue 4, but the 3,000-plus voters could have to refile their ballots to have their votes counted on the controversial pension issue. The board will make the final decision on whether to count the old votes for or against Issue 4 after it hears from state officials and reviews election law, Krisel says.
Supporters of a type of anti-union law infamously dubbed "right to work" say they're gathering petitions to get the issue on the ballot in 2014. The anti-union proposal wouldn't ban unions, but it would significantly weaken them by banning agreements between companies and unions that mandate union membership for employees and allow unions to collect dues and fees from nonunion members. The proposal first lost in Ohio in 1958, and it's been a "flashpoint" for union politics ever since, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Cranley says he'd pick a Democrat as his vice mayor if elected to office. The announcement came on the same day a group of Democratic ward chairs pressured him to announce he'd pick a Democrat as his vice mayor. It was previously rumored that Cranley would choose Independent Councilman Chris Smitherman over any of the Democrats on City Council. The news is the second time in a week Cranley attempted to rebuke the idea that he's the conservative alternative to Qualls. Previously, Cranley told CityBeat he doesn't want and would reject an endorsement from the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), a conservative group with a history of anti-gay causes.
In a 3-1 vote, the Hamilton County Board of Elections decided to keep Randy Simes, the pro-streetcar founder of UrbanCincy.com, on the local voter rolls. Tea party groups contested Simes' ability to vote in Cincinnati because he's currently on assignment in South Korea and they believed he lived in Chicago when he voted in the Sept. 10 mayoral primary. But Simes says he intends to return to Cincinnati once he completes his assignment in South Korea, leading election officials to conclude that the case is similar to when Procter & Gamble or General Electric employees work abroad but retain their right to vote in Cincinnati. Simes' supporters said the whole case reeked of politics; the tea party groups behind the charges oppose Qualls for mayor, who Simes openly supports.

Jackson was reportedly scheduled to return to the park at noon on Wednesday to again speak with Occupy Cincinnati.
By the time a new mayor and City Council candidates take office in December, the city will have laid out roughly half a mile of track and spent or contractually obligated at least $117 million for the streetcar project. The contractual obligations mean it could cost more to cancel the project than to finish it, which will cost the city an estimated total of $88 million after deducting $45 million in federal grants. Still, mayoral candidate John Cranley and several council candidates insist they will try to cancel the project upon taking office. Check out CityBeat's full in-depth story here.
The parking plan's upfront payment has been reduced to $85 million, down from $92 million, and the city, as opposed to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, could be on the hook for $14 million to $15 million to build a garage at Seventh and Sycamore streets, according to an Oct. 9 memo from City Manager Milton Dohoney. The city manager claims the lump sum payment dropped as a result of rising interest rates and the Port Authority's decision to relax parking meter hours outside Over-the-Rhine and the Cincinnati Business District. The parking plan leases Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages to the Port Authority, which plans to hire private companies to operate the assets. CityBeat covered the plan in greater detail here and the controversy surrounding it here.
Gov. John Kasich is considering using an executive order to expand the state's Medicaid program with federal funds. The executive order would expand eligibility for the government-run health insurance program so it includes anyone up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or nearly $15,900 in annual income for an individual. Kasich would then on Oct. 21 ask Ohio's seven-member legislative-spending oversight panel to approve federal funds for the expansion. Kasich, a Republican, has aggressively pursued the Medicaid expansion, which the federal government promises under Obamacare to completely fund through 2016 then phase down and indefinitely hold its payments at 90 percent of the expansion's total costs. But Republican legislators claim the federal government might not be able sustain the payments, even though the federal government has met its payments for the much larger overall Medicaid program since it was created in 1965.
At its final full session before the November election, City Council approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits for Pure Romance to bring the company to downtown Cincinnati for at least 20 years. Councilman Charlie Winburn, the lone Republican on council, was the only one to vote against the tax incentives. The city administration estimates the deal will lead to at least 126 new high-paying jobs in downtown Cincinnati over three years and nearly $2.6 million in net tax revenue over two decades. Gov. John Kasich's administration was originally supposed to provide some tax incentives to the company, but it ultimately reneged after supposedly deciding that the company isn't part of an industry the state typically supports. Critics say Kasich's administration is just too "prudish" to support a company that includes sex toys in its product lineup.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio yesterday announced it's suing Ohio over anti-abortion restrictions passed in the 2014-2015 state budget. The ACLU claims the restrictions are unrelated to the budget and therefore violate the Ohio Constitution's "single subject" rule, which requires each individual law keep to a single subject to avoid complexity and hidden language. CityBeat covered the state budget in further detail here.
Hamilton County Administrator Christian Sigman says he's monitoring the impact of the federal government shutdown with some concerns. "I'm more concerned if this goes more than four weeks or so, when we start talking about reimbursement programs for our larger social programs such as food stamps and cash assistance to the needy and those types of things. We just don't have the money to front that type of thing," he said. CityBeat covered the shutdown in further detail here.
Hamilton County's government shrunk by more than one-third in the past decade.
City Council yesterday passed a resolution condemning State Sen. Bill Seitz's attempts to weaken Ohio's renewable energy and efficiency mandates. A study from Ohio State University and Ohio Advanced Energy Economy found Ohioans will spend $3.65 billion more on their electricity bills over the next 12 years if the mandates are repealed. CityBeat covered the attempts to repeal the mandates in further detail here and the national conservative groups behind the calls to repeal here.

The federal government is committing another $5 million to Cincinnati's streetcar project, but the city must first close the budget gap that has recently put the project in danger. The U.S. Department of Transportation is also asking the city to restore certain aspects of the project, including a passenger information system and a screen or wall that would block power substations from public view. City Council's Budget and Finance Committee is expected to vote on the project's $17.4 million budget gap today. The latest proposed fixes from the city manager would pull funding from multiple capital projects, including improvements around the Horseshoe Casino, and issue more debt.
Cincinnati and Hamilton County announced a compromise Friday that will end the county's funding hold on sewer projects. As a result, the city will be required to rework its "responsible bidder" ordinance and repeal the "local hire" and "local preference" laws that incited county commissioners into passing the funding hold in the first place. The city says its responsible bidder law creates local jobs and encourages job training, but the county argues that law's rules favor unions and push up costs on Metropolitan Sewer District projects. CityBeat covered the city-county conflict in further detail here.
Ohio is No. 3 in the nation for "megadeals" — massive government subsidies to corporations that are meant to encourage in-state job creation — but a new report found many of the deals rarely produce the kind of jobs initially touted by public officials. For Cincinnati, the risks of megadeals are nothing new: In 2011, the city's $196.4 million megadeal with Convergys collapsed when the company failed to keep downtown employment at or above 1,450, and the company agreed to pay a $14 million reimbursement to the city.
As of Friday, Cincinnati is officially leasing its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority. The Port announced it had signed the lease Friday, putting an end to a four-day controversy over whether the agency was going to sign the lease at all. The city will get a $92 million lump sum and at least $3 million a year from the deal, according to city estimates. Current plans call for using the money to help balance city budgets and fund economic development projects, including the I-71/MLK Interchange.
The prison company that owns and operates a northeastern Ohio prison lost four contracts around the nation in June, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

In an ad accusing Josh Mandel, a Republican, of lying, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown's campaign team may have lied, according to PolitiFact. The U.S. senatorial campaign for Ohio's senate seat has been filled with dishonesty, but it usually comes from Mandel. The dishonesty seems to be hurting Mandel more than Brown; Mandel is currently down 7.5 points in aggregate polling numbers.
Mandel is being taken to court by liberal blog Plunderbund. The blog claims Mandel has made it extra difficult to get public records.Preliminary data for Ohio schools was released yesterday. Some data is still being held back while an investigation into fraudulent reporting from some schools is finished, but the data gives some insight into how schools performed during the 2011-2012 school year. The data can be found here. From a local angle, the data shows Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) did not meet "adequate yearly progress," a federal standard that measures progress in student subgroups, such as minority groups; but CPS did meet standards for "value-added growth," which measures the expected progress in state testing for all students between the third and eighth grades.
City Council approved the $29 million financing plan for the streetcar yesterday. The plan will use $15 million from the Blue Ash airport deal to move utility lines and pipes. The city claims the $15 million, which was originally promised to neighborhood projects, will be reimbursed by Duke Energy once the city settles a conflict with the energy company. Duke and the city are currently arguing over who has to pay to move the utility lines and pipes.
An Ohio state representative is asking the federal government to monitor the election more closely. Rep. Alicia Reece, a Cincinnati Democrat, is asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to send monitors to the state to ensure no funny business goes on in voting booths on Nov. 6. The request is partly in response to a recent court ruling that forces Ohio to count provisional ballots if the ballots were brought around by poll worker errors.
Ohio's ability to stop political lies was upheld yesterday. The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) tried to put an end to the government power, which COAST claimed was censorship, by taking it to court, but a U.S. judge upheld the ability. The judge, who is a former chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said COAST did not properly display that its speech was held down by the law. Considering some of COAST's tweets, the judge is probably right.

The Ohio Supreme Court upheld the rights of lesbian ex-couples to set visitation times. The court said non-parents are allowed to participate in visitations during child custody proceedings.
Ohio might expand Medicaid, but not to the extent asked for by Obamacare. That's what the state's Medicaid director said yesterday, anyway. A previous study found Medicaid expansions improved and might have saved lives in other states, and other studies have found Medicaid expansions may save the state money by cutting uncompensated costs.
Pundits really dug into Mitt Romney the past few days over his poor poll numbers in Ohio. The Business Courier asked if Romney has already lost Ohio. Politico said Romney's biggest hurdle to the White House is Ohio. The New Republic ran an article with six theories as to what led to Romney's losses in the state. The Cleveland Plain Dealer pointed out both presidential candidates were stumping at a pivotal time in northern Ohio yesterday. Aggregate polling paints a consistently bad picture for Romney in Ohio; he is currently down four points.
But Romney probably isn't helping matters. In an Ohio
rally Tuesday, he admitted President Barack Obama didn't raise taxes in his

Standing in front of roughly 40 supporters, city leaders gave the order on Tuesday to lay down the first two streetcar tracks.
The milestone has been years in the making for the $133
million streetcar project — ever since City Council approved the streetcar plan in 2008 and the project broke ground in February 2012.
"This is another great day in our great city," proclaimed Mayor Mark Mallory, a major proponent of the streetcar. "This is the project that will not stop."
Political and financial hurdles snared the massive project in the past five years, but city officials say the construction phase is so far within budget and on time, putting it on track to open to the public on Sept. 15, 2016.
Until then, City Manager Milton Dohoney asked for patience as construction progresses.
But not everyone was happy with the milestone. Ex-Councilman John Cranley, a streetcar opponent who's running for mayor against streetcar supporter Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, criticized the city for not delaying the project until a new mayor takes office in December.
"The streetcar has been a bad idea and a bad deal for the people of Cincinnati from the beginning," Cranley said in a statement. "To lay track for a project that can't be completed for three years right before an election that will serve as a referendum on the project is a slap in face to the voters."
Cranley insists that he'll cancel the project if he takes office, even though roughly half a mile of track will be laid out by then and, because of contractual obligations and federal money tied to the project, canceling the project at this point could cost millions more than completing it.
Multiple streetcar supporters at the event told CityBeat that Cranley's demands are ridiculous. They say that delaying a project with contractual obligations and deadlines for two months because of a political campaign would cripple the city's ability to take on future projects as weary contractors question the city's commitments.
Streetcar supporters back the project as both another option for public transit and an economic development driver. Previous studies from consulting firm HDR and the University of Cincinnati found the Over-the-Rhine and downtown loop will produce a three-to-one return on investment.
Opponents say the project is too costly. They argue the project forced the city to raise property taxes and forgo other capital projects, such as the interchange at Interstate 75 and Martin Luther King Drive.
The project already went through two referendums in 2009 and 2011
in which voters effectively approved the streetcar.
Gov. John Kasich pulled $52 million in federal funds from the project in 2011 after he won the 2010 gubernatorial election against former Gov. Ted Strickland, whose administration allocated the money to the streetcar.
Earlier in 2013, City Council closed a $17.4 million budget gap after construction bids for the project came in higher than expected.
Despite the hurdles, city leaders remain committed to the project. They estimate the first section of the track — on Elm Street between 12th and Henry streets — will be finished in January 2014.
After years of delays and obstructionism, a Tuesday memo from City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. revealed a $22.7 million budget gap is threatening to put an end to the streetcar project, prompting Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls to call for a public hearing to address the issue.
In the city manager's memo, the city says it could bring down the potential budget gap to $17.4 million with budget cuts, but the rest would have to come from new funds. The memo says the budget gap is a result of construction bids coming in $26 million to $43 million over budget.
The memo says the city will continue working with "federal partners" to find solutions, but it makes no specific proposals — a sign the project will likely require new city funds and private donations to close the gap.
In response to the memo, Qualls, a Democratic mayoral candidate who has long supported the streetcar, called for a public hearing on April 29 in a statement sent out today. The statement says part of the meeting will help clarify what would happen with allocated funding if the project fell apart.
Qualls told CityBeat it's too early to jump to conclusions about the project's fate, but she says it's time to have a serious discussion about the project. "We're at the point where we need to have a very robust public conversation about this that is based upon fact," she says.
At the public hearing, both council members and the public will have time to ask questions. Qualls says she's interested in getting answers for how the project got to this point, what the cost issues are, whether the streetcar is still a good economic investment and what costs are associated with shutting down the project if it's deemed necessary.
"Fundamentally, it's an issue of what are the costs but also what are the benefits," she says. "We need to clearly outline both for the public."
But opponents, including Democratic mayoral candidate John Cranley, have responded to the budget gap by criticizing the streetcar project. Cranley, a longtime opponent of the streetcar, called for the project's end in a statement today: "The streetcar has been a bad idea and a bad deal for the people of Cincinnati from the beginning. ... Ms. Qualls has already voted to raise property taxes three times to pay for the project. When is she going to say 'enough is enough'?"
The opposition is nothing new to the project, which has undergone multiple bouts of obstructionism, including two failed referendum efforts in which a majority of voters came out in favor of the streetcar. Qualls says these delays have only made the project's implementation more difficult.
The streetcar is one of the few issues dividing the two Democrats running for mayor this year, making it a contentious political issue ("Back on the Ballot," issue of Jan. 23).
The city recently approved two motions to prepare to hire John Deatrick, the current project manager for The Banks, to help bring the streetcar's costs in line ("City Moves to Hire New Streetcar Manager," issue of April 10). Deatrick was involved in finding savings in the streetcar project, according to the memo.
The hire and shortfall announcement came in the middle of an ongoing local budget crisis that may lead to the layoff of 344 city employees, including 189 cops and 80 firefighters. The crisis is a result of legal and referendum efforts holding up the city's plan to lease parking assets to the Port Authority, which would have opened up funds to help balance the budget for the next two years and carry out development projects around the city, including a downtown grocery store ("Parking Stimulus," issue of Feb. 27).
But the streetcar project, including Deatrick's hire, is part of the capital budget, not the operating budget that employs cops and firefighters. Capital budget funds can't be used to balance the operating budget because of legal and traditional constraints.
A statement from Cincinnatians for Progress defended the streetcar, despite the higher costs now facing the project: "These are challenging moments for Cincinnati's administration and City Council regarding the streetcar. Bids came in higher than anticipated. However, even at a slightly higher cost, the economic benefits of the system far outweigh these costs. This is a reality that has been outlined in study after study and confirmed in results from other cities across the country.
"Nearly 100 years ago, political leaders were having these same discussions before tragically losing resolve and abandoning the proposed subway and rail system that was nearly complete. Times have changed. A new attitude of positivity has taken over our city. We must continue the pattern of success that encompasses many recent projects that were difficult and not inexpensive, but well worth the investment."
Ever since the Cincinnati streetcar has been envisioned, the mass transit project has been mired in misrepresentations driven largely by opponents and politicians. CityBeat has a breakdown of the misrepresentations here, showing some of the silliest and biggest falsehoods claimed by opponents and supporters.
The national battle over gun control came to Cincinnati on July 4 when former Rep. Gabby Giffords stopped at the Northside parade to call for new restrictions on firearms. Giffords is part of a slew of national leaders calling for stronger regulations and enforcement for background checks — a policy more than nine in 10 Americans support. Still, the call seems to be politically unheard so far: Federal legislation is stalled in Congress, and Ohio legislators are working to loosen gun restrictions.
Facing city budget cuts, public access media organization Media Bridges is shutting down by the end of the year. The city picked up Media Bridges' funding after the organization lost state funding that had been provided through an agreement with Time Warner Cable. But city officials claim the local funding was supposed to act as a one-year reprieve and nothing more — a claim Media Bridges was apparently never made aware of until it was too late. To justify the cut, the city cites public surveys that ranked budget programs in terms of importance, but a look at the citizen surveys shows the demographics were skewed against low-income people who make the most use out of programs like Media Bridges.

If you're headed to Fountain Square today, expect to see some images of bloodied fetuses and fetal limbs. An anti-abortion group is showing a video with the gruesome visuals as part of a protest against what it sees as "the greatest human rights injustice of our time." The group defends its tactics by citing its First Amendment rights. The U.S. Supreme Court has so far refused to rule one way or the other on the issue, but, barring some restrictions for airwave broadcasts, the court typically protects all kinds of political speech as long as it's not pornographic.
The Cincinnati Police Department is changing how it responds to calls to focus on what it sees as the most important issues, such as impacting violent crime, youth intervention efforts, long-term problem solving projects, traffic safety and neighborhood quality-of-life issues. The biggest change will come with how the department reacts to minor traffic accidents: It will still respond, but it may not file a report.
The so-far-unnamed Greater Cincinnati coalition working to reduce the local infant mortality rate set a goal yesterday: zero. It's a dramatic vision for a region that, at 13.6, has an infant mortality rate more than twice the national average of six, as CityBeat covered here.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld announced in a statement yesterday that he will be gathering local leaders and health officials to encourage the state to expand Medicaid.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Friday, Feb. 1, 2013
By Dr. Emily Coatney-Smith
Now that winter is here to stay for awhile, there are a few things that pet owners should be aware of. Even when there isn't snow on the ground, there are other issues pets can have during the winter.
For pets that go outside or are kept outside, there is a time when it is too cold for them to be out for an extended period of time.
The degree of coldness that a pet can tolerate is different for each individual animal. A small breed dog with little hair can't be out for long because they lose body heat very quickly. A larger breed dog with a thick undercoat can tolerate the colder weather better. Erring on the safe side when temperatures drop below freezing will help keep the animals safe. Ohio weather can be unpredictable so don't assume your pet will be safe outside if the day starts out to be mild and warmer.
Cats and dogs (regardless of size and hair coat) can suffer from frost bite just like humans. Their hairless or thinned-haired areas, like their ear tips and pads, are the most likely places to get frost bite. Pets left outside can also have their water source freeze over and can be left without water. This will often lead to dehydration.
For cats, they can be so desperate to find heat that they will curl up on a warm engine under the hood of a car that was recently used. Unfortunately, when the car is turned back on, the fan belt can cause serious damage to the cat including mutilation of a leg or face. Cats can also get trapped in places that were warm initially like a garage, and be caught in there for an extended period of time without food or water.
For dogs in particular, the snow and ice pose some issues. Anterior cruciate ligaments in the dogs' knees can be torn when they slip on ice and trudge through the snow. When owners take dogs for walks, try to avoid the salt that it used to melt the ice. It can be very irritating to their pads and can be a mouth and stomach irritant if eaten from the ground or licked from their paws. Avoid having dogs walk on roads that have been treated and, if they come in contact with it, rinse the affected areas (usually feet and muzzle) thoroughly. Contact a veterinarian if they eat it.
Finally, this past winter was relatively mild with very little snow or frigid weather. This allowed for many of the parasites (especially fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites) to hang around in higher numbers and, therefore, we experienced a very bad year for parasite infestations in dogs and cats. Many pet owners stop their prevention for fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms for the winter. Continuing the prevention throughout the winter months can keep the parasites from getting out of control when the weather doesn't stay cold for a significant period of time.
Even if pets don't spent a great deal of time outside when the weather is cold and gloomy, they can still come in to contact with situations that can pose problems for them.

Your style is so loose. I love it.
Wow amazing stuff, really inspiring sb, congrats
I'm working on a book at the moment, one of uni projects. So I thought to share some processes here. This is a just a character design for my book's narrative.
fantastic works lately! a tad bit too curvy for my taste but god damnes they are all very dynamic and moody i like how you exxaggerate proportions sometimes i dont know if it is done on purpose but they ooze attitude i would love to see more play with straght edges vs curved lines, dont overdo it too much just so that theres a feeling of solidity yknow Contrast betweent the two play thit this as much as with assymetry and line weight this are powerful tools when working with lines only, hope to see much more!!

Really dig your style - very wispy and free flowing - excellent updates man - keep em coming!
Daryl Zero: "A few words here about following people. People know they're being followed when they turn around and see someone following them. They can't tell they're being followed if you get there first."
thanks meticulous
page 2 done ...kind of
Thats page 3. More after weekend.
You'll stay with the rats.
Love the style. The subject is pretty ah ... interesting too
Looking forward to more!

Daryl Zero: "A few words here about following people. People know they're being followed when they turn around and see someone following them. They can't tell they're being followed if you get there first."
thank you meticulous, I am a kind of a silent type of person
These are pages 6, 7, 8 and 9.The pipe goes through a double spread page and leads to the last page where the guy gets discovered.
So this narrative is kind of done, needs colouring though and I'll have to reupload some of the previous pages, because edited them a bit.
Hey P nice sketchbook, i really see here how your style evolved. From the start you were already so good, I'm sure you will go far.. keep up what you're doing I also read in one of your comments that you were losing confidence. Don't be discouraged, you are better than half of the people posting here, still they're posting their work because they still want to improve.
thanks lanotdesign
I coloured this, there are more pages in the book, but I thought this post is bad already.
Scanned few pages that I kind of liked, not saying that they don't suck, but yeah..
I am still recording stuff. Very helpful and very fun. Though I feel I could use more figure drawing sessions, learn tons after those.
great lines as always man. loving the use of the pipe in the comic. flows really nicely.
You've got here lots of cool illustrations and really fluid sketches. Great sketchbook
Thanks guys, glad you like it
Wow, these forums are under some serious construction, couldn't post for ages. : D
Some photo inspired to make this
