PadMapper makes apartment hunting less awful, almost fun. It does this by plotting the apartments on a big map, and letting you filter for exactly what you want. There are also neat overlays to help you learn about the different areas.
My goal with PadMapper is to make apartment hunting into something people no longer dread. It shouldn't have to be harder than buying a car. You shouldn't have to deal with slimy people. You shouldn't have to make big Excel spreadsheets to keep track of what you've seen and what you think. Landlords should respond to your emails, and once you move in, you should be treated well. I'm going to help make it that way.
I was looking for a place with some friends in NYC in the summer of 2008, and it ended up taking us 6 months. This was our first time, so we got scammed more than once by brokers and shady landlords.
In between scams, I sifted through thousands of Craigslist listings, and it was getting to the point where I was losing hope. It was like wading through my spam folder trying to find real emails. I'd click and read each listing, only to find out that it was in a bad location, or it looked like a slum, or there was a toilet in the kitchen, or it was too "cozy" to fit a double bed.
So, I ended up writing what became the first version of PadMapper to do most of the sifting for me and generally make the hunt better. I've used it and the iPhone app in 3 apartment hunts since then, and it has found me a place quickly each time.
I hope it helps you and your friends find a great place to live. Good luck with your hunt!
If there's anything that confuses you, or you see any bugs, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Feedback really helps - user feedback is the reason PadMapper is what it is today.
If you'd like more information, check out the blog. Here's a text-based browsing alternative (though it's more cumbersome): Sitemap

OAK is Major North American Gateway to Hawaii - Over 1,000 Daily Seats to Four Islands in 2012
Based upon the huge success of flights between Oakland and the Hawaiian Islands in 2011, both Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines are bringing more paradise to Oakland International Airport (OAK) by adding seats in the New Year. The two award-winning, customer-preferred airlines recognize that for business or pleasure Bay Area travelers prefer the reliability and convenience of an OAK departure. Alaska Airlines will offer four daily nonstop flights to four Hawaiian Islands in spring 2012, using new B737-800 aircraft. Alaska is now OAK's second largest carrier and it will launch service to Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, beginning April 10. This complements the airline's existing daily service to Kahului, Maui, and flights to Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island, as well as Lihue, Kauai, which expand to daily service on March 12.
Hawaiian Airlines also flies daily nonstop service to Honolulu from OAK and will increase its seasonal nonstop service to Maui to year-round in early 2012. The double-daily B767-300 wide-body, twin-aisle aircraft offer a comfortable flight. The two flights, combined with Alaska's four, bring the the total to six peak day nonstops from OAK to the Hawaiian Islands.
"This spring, there will be a record 1,000-plus peak day seats leaving to the Hawaiian Islands from Oakland International," said John Albrecht, Manager of Aviation Marketing and Communications for the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates OAK. "It is fitting that OAK, the origin point for the first transoceanic flights from North America to the Hawaiian Islands, emerges as a major gateway today. There's no better way to begin a Hawaiian vacation than from Oakland, where travelers will enjoy easy airport access, excellent customer service and on time flights," he added.
The number of airline seats to Hawaii has rebounded from the recession, and is more than quadrupled from 264 daily seats offered in summer 2008. OAK is among a select group of US airports with flights to the four major islands. Look for airline and on-airport parking promotions on our Facebook page in the weeks and months ahead.
OAK Stimulates Business During "Between Holiday Slump" With Unique Free Parking Offer
Park Free at OAK between Thanksgiving and December 22.
The weeks between the Thanksgiving and December holiday travel periods are typically slow for air travel. At OAK we look for ways to always keep things moving, and we're pleased to offer our innovative free parking campaign designed to boost traffic and increase the custom of on-airport parking.
Between Thanksgiving Day and December 22, 2011, OAK is offering FREE parking in its Daily lot for those departing on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to ANY destination. Customers receive up to 72 hours of free parking, an incredible $66 value.
OAK piloted a similar deal during the first six weeks of 2011 resulting in an estimated 10,000 additional passengers, which was better for business overall.
Even customers looking for a last minute "mileage run" to achieve airline elite status in 2012 recognize that OAK is the airport to choose with this valuable offer.
ACI-NA recognized OAK with a first place award in the Social Media category and second place in the Partnering With Carriers category in its 2011 Excellence in Marketing and Communications Contest for this innovative air service development and parking promotion.
The "Park Free" offer provides another great reason to "Park Close and Fly on Time" from the Bay Area's most reliable airport, and is our way of saying "thanks" to our customers for flying OAK. Learn more.
OAK Has Spirit - The Bay Area's First New Airline in 2011!
In August, OAK proudly welcomed Spirit Airlines' inaugural service to Las Vegas with three daily nonstop flights. High load factors indicate Spirit's new service has proven popular with customers who have responded by taking advantage of the airline's low fares and unique a la carte style pricing and service.
Spirit Airlines is the first (and maybe the only) new airline to serve the Bay Area in 2011. Spirit has promised "to liberate the Bay Area from high fares." See for yourself by visiting Spirit.com today.
The successful, ultra low-cost carrier has had four consecutive years of profitablility and, most recently, announced third quarter 2011 results showing an operating income of $46 million resulting in an impressive 16% operating margin. Given this success, it is no wonder that it chose to serve the Bay Area via OAK due to the airport's lower operating costs, central location and excellent reliability.
Enjoy OAK's Vegas-style celebration which included an Elvis Tribute Artist, Las Vegas Showgirl and an award-winning blackjack table custom cake at OAK Has Spirit.
New OAK-Europe Link for Summer 2012 Will Boost Bay Area Tourism
We're thrilled to announce our newest airline and nonstop service to continental Europe! ArkeFly will begin scheduled seasonal service between OAK and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on June 7, 2012. ArkeFly is part of the TUI Travel PLC group, Europe's largest travel conglomerate. ArkeFly's new twice-weekly service includes a nonstop flight and a direct, one-stop flight (via LAX), and is part of the airline's three city US west coast expansion that includes Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
"Beginning in summer 2012, ArkeFly's twice-weekly service will produce an estimated $24 million in economic impact to Bay Area tourism resulting from over 500 inbound international passengers each week," said Port Commission President Pamela Calloway. ArkeFly selected OAK over a number of competing airports because of its central location, lower operating costs, and high aeronautical reliability. The airline's target market is inbound Bay Area tourists from Europe who stay on average nine-to-14 days.
The airline will operate in OAK's freshly enhanced international arrivals area in Terminal 1 using B767-300ER aircraft which seat 283 passengers in three classes.
BART's Airport Rail Connection Well Underway - Planned Opening 2014
Construction of the Oakland Airport Connector along airport area roadways. BART is making significant progress with train-to-plane service for OAK. The Oakland Airport Connector is well under construction by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). The progression of the elevated tracks is highly visible along airport area roadways and in OAK's parking lot where the Airport Station is being constructed.
The 3.1-mile environmentally friendly, fun-to-use link between OAK and BART's Coliseum station will add frequency and cut travel time to eight minutes from the existing 15 minute headways for the current AirBART shuttle service.
"The Port of Oakland is an important funding partner on the Oakland Airport Connector," said Deborah Ale Flint, Director of Aviation for the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates OAK. "The Connector will bring improved air service and economic benefits to the airport and the East Bay Area," she continued. OAK offers direct, convenient connections to more BART lines than any other Bay Area Airport, and the current BART service from OAK to downtown San Francisco is an impressive 30-40 minutes. Did you know that roughly 10% of OAK's passengers use the current AirBART shuttle, making it one of the nation's most popular airport-to-rail connections?
Little to no disruption is anticipated to current operations during construction. Learn more at bart.gov/oac.

Ghost Adventures is an American television series about the paranormal that premiered on October 17, 2008, on the Travel Channel. Produced by MY-Tupelo Entertainment, (a merger of MY Entertainment and Tupelo-Honey Productions),[1] the program follows ghost hunters Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin as they investigate locations that are reported to be haunted. The show is introduced and narrated by Zak Bagans.
Ghost Adventures began as an independent film, produced in a documentary style. It was filmed in 2004 and produced by 4Reel Productions in 2006. The Syfy Channel premiered 4Reel's Ghost Adventures on July 25, 2007. The documentary centered on the trio's investigation of alleged paranormal activity in and around Virginia City, Nevada. The crew returned there during the series' fifth season.[2] The film also featured the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada, where the crew later returned to during the series' fourth and seventh seasons and caught more substantial evidence.
Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin investigate reportedly haunted locations, hoping to collect visual or auditory evidence of paranormal activity. Each episode begins with the trio touring the investigation site with its owners or caretakers. These introductions typically include Zak's voice-overs of the site's history as well as interviews with people who claim to have witnessed paranormal phenomena there. On the basis of these interviews, the crew place X's with black or gray tape at the sites of some serious alleged paranormal activity. They later return to these spots in order to set up static night-vision cameras to try and film it happening.
After completing the walk-through they discuss their strategy, then lock themselves in the location overnight, which they believe will prevent "audio contamination". They use a variety of equipment, including digital thermometers, electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, handheld digital video cameras, audio recorders, the Ovilus device, point of view cameras, and infrared night-vision cameras in an effort to capture evidence of ghosts. The members sometimes place objects and shout verbal taunts they believe ghosts might move or respond to.
At the end of the episode, they analyze their audio, photographs, and video footage, often with the assistance of alleged paranormal experts, and present anything they feel is "unexplained phenomena" to the audience.
During the series, the crew claims to have captured and experienced various Fortean phenomena, which they say include simultaneous equipment malfunctions such as battery drain, voltage spikes, fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, sudden changes in temperature (such as cold spots), unexplained noises, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), and apparitions.
The crew also claim to have recorded spirit possessions on video. Bagans believes that he was possessed at the Preston School of Industry and at Poveglia Island in Italy. Groff claims that he was overtaken by a "dark energy" at the Moon River Brewing Company. Goodwin claims he was "under the influence of a dark spirit" at Bobby Mackey's Music World and Winchester Mystery House.[citation needed]
Cast and crew[edit]
The permanent[3] members of the cast and crew are Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin.
Zak Bagans[edit]
Zachary Alexander Bagans is an American executive producer, director, writer,and lead investigator/co-founder of the Ghost Adventures Crew (G.A.C.) organization. Bagans was born on April 5, 1977 in Washington D.C and states he grew up in Las Vegas,but he assuredly did not.[4] He graduated Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois in 1995.[5][6] Bagans attended the Motion Picture Institute in Michigan.[7] Following graduation from MPI, he moved to Las Vegas, aspiring to film documentaries. After arriving in Las Vegas, he found work as a wedding disc jockey.[8] A former skeptic, Bagans says that his passion for investigating the "paranormal" resulted from what he describes as "a face-to-face encounter with the spirit of a suicidal woman", in his former apartment building in Trenton, Michigan.
Bagans has been criticized[by whom?] by some paranormal enthusiasts for the aggressive and confrontational methods he uses during "investigations". In a June 2009 interview with Paranormal Underground magazine, he responded, "I don't want the public perceiving us as the taunting, provocative "ghost" hunters. We do that only to the bad "spirits" who we know are attacking the living. Bad spirits fear my biceps."[9] Bagans has also been known for wearing gasmasks due to his respiratory problems and for attempting to use MMA moves in order to subdue "ghosts."
In 2011, Bagans hosted Paranormal Challenge, a concurrent spin-off program also on the Travel Channel, which also starred radio personality Dave Schrader. In 2011, Zak Bagans narrated and hosted a Travel Channel special called "Ultimate Travel: Legends of the Park." The show was about America's National Parks and how they are haunted.[10][11][specify][better source needed]
Bagans wrote a book with author Kelly Crigger titled Dark World: Into the Shadows with the Lead Investigator of the Ghost Adventures Crew (Victory Belt, 2011). On September 23, the book debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list at number 18.[12]
In 2012, Bagans appeared in two music collaborations with Lords of Acid on the song "Paranormal Energy" and on an album called "Necrofusion" with Praga Khan.[13] Bagans produced Paranormal Paparazzi, a reality show that premiered on September 28 but starred entertainment pundit Aaron Sagers.[14]
Nick Groff[edit]
Nicholas Groff (born April 19, 1980) is a co-investigator and executive producer of Ghost Adventures, as well as an editor and cameraman for the show. Groff was executive producer for a show on the Travel Channel called Vegas Stripped, a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, NV.
Born in San Jose, California, Groff grew up in New England. He graduated from Pelham High School in New Hampshire and later studied film at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he met Aaron Goodwin. At the age of eight he fell out of a tree in the yard of his family's home in Salem, New Hampshire, which Groff described as "a near-death experience". Two years later, while at home alone, he says he saw a ghostly black figure. In a 2012 interview, Groff questioned, "Was it my imagination? Or was it something from my accident that made me more open to that world?"[15]
Groff befriended Bagans during Groff's wedding in Las Vegas.[16][17] Groff claims he was possessed by an entity at the Moon River Brewing Company in Savannah, Georgia and says it was one of his "most life-changing experiences".[18] According to Groff, an encounter with a female spirit at the Linda Vista Community Hospital in East Los Angeles, California gave him insights into life after death. Groff was allegedly possessed in Natchez, Mississippi during the investigation of King's Tavern.
Groff released an album entitled The Other Side. The lyrics recall Groff's spiritual journey.[19] He also has a clothing line named "Phantom Collection".[20] As of 2012, he and his wife Veronique reside in New Hampshire and Massachusetts with their daughter, Annabelle.[19]
Aaron Goodwin[edit]
Aaron Goodwin (born April 1, 1976) is an equipment technician, camera operator, and co-investigator of Ghost Adventures. Originally from Portland, Oregon, as of 2012 he resides in Las Vegas.
Before joining Bagans and Groff, Goodwin had worked as a camera operator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and several behind-the-scenes film premieres in Las Vegas.[21] Goodwin says that prior to his experiences in Virginia City, Nevada,[16] he "never really thought twice about ghosts." Goodwin is often left alone in the alleged "hotspots" during lockdowns to act as bait for supposed paranormal "entities".[22][23]
Goodwin sells a line of clothing bearing the label "Big Steppin".[24]
The following people have regularly appeared in the show as part of the GAC:
- Jay Wasley - Audio technician for the GAC: Recurring

The 2004 documentary film Ghost Adventures received several awards, including the 2006 Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (NYIIFVF).[25] Seasons 1 and 2 were released on DVD on August 18, 2009.
Occasionally conducting public investigations with fans and paranormal enthusiasts, the trio has appeared on Maury, Fox 19 News, NBC's Today, and TV Guide Network's Hollywood 411.[26]
In 2009, the series won three International Paranormal Acknowledgement (IPA) Awards.[27]
In 2010, the program won two Spooktalkular Parawards.[28]
In the October 30, 2009 Halloween special Ghost Adventures Live at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, controversy arose when Robert Bess, inventor of the so-called Parabot Containment Chamber (said to attract and empower spirits using energy, giving them form), claims to have had an EMF meter knocked violently out of his hand. However, upon investigation of the video, it was found that he had actually thrown it.[29] On the November 6, 2009 follow-up Ghost Adventures Live: Post Mortem, hosts Bagans and Groff reviewed the video and concluded they couldn't claim any paranormal explanation for the incident.[29]
Ghost Adventures is broadcast in Australia on A&E Australia. The program airs on Travel + Escape in Canada. In the UK it is shown on Sky Living and Really (TV Channel).

Culture Shock Each Agile team creates its own culture. Moving between teams, and specifically Agile teams, is not only about different work or different team members to work with; it's mainly about adapting to different team cultures.Team culture takes time to evolve and — like any other type of culture — it will resist a change, no matter how small it is. That change can be in the form of new person (like you), or it can be in the form of new idea that you want to implement.

Wondering whether SO/SU/SF/Meta could have an option for a 'wide page layout', for those of us with 1080p/1080i resolutions. The unused whitespace on both sides of the middle 'column' could be put to better use.
Widescreen is another way for you to conceivably walk into the Large Print aisle of the local library. Crank up the zoom on your browser and you'll see in no time that the white space will be gone. Not only that, the size of the letters will allow for you to cruise in a sling back chair while browsing through SOFU and not strain your eyes. Another way to make use of the widescreen monitor and getting rid of the whitespace is to rotate your monitor 90° and view all your trilogy time in portrait mode. |
Alternately, you could consider this an opportunity to have 4 browser windows open.. one for each site in the Trilogy! |


text: ONCE THEY MOVED LIKE THE WIND: COCHISE, GERONIMO, By David Roberts customer reviews During the westward settlement, for more than twenty years Apache tribes eluded both US and Mexican armies, and by 1886 an estimated 9,000 armed men were in pursuit. Roberts (Deborah: A Wilderness Narrative) presents a moving account of the end of the Indian Wars in the Southwest. He portrays the great Apache leaders—Cochise, Nana, Juh, Geronimo, the woman warrior Lozen—and U.S. generals George Crock and Nelson Miles. Drawing on contemporary American and Mexican sources, he weaves a somber story of treachery and misunderstanding. After Geronimo's surrender in 1886, the Apaches were sent to Florida, then to Alabama where many succumbed to malaria, tuberculosis and malnutrition and finally in 1894 to Oklahoma, remaining prisoners of war until 1913.

NBCPhiladelphia.com-Rosemary Connors
A family in Wilmington, Delaware is jolted by lightning. A pregnant woman is among them. It's the second lightning strike this week. NBC10's Rosemary Connors explains what happened.
A lightning strike sends a family of four to the hospital in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware.
And for the second time this week, one of the victims is a pregnant woman.
County dispatchers confirmed to NBC10 that two adults and two children were under a tree Friday afternoon when lightning hit. They were eating dinner, according to Delaware Online.
The family was outside the Cranston Hill Apartments on Old Capitol Trail. A witness told the newspaper that the lightning hit, sending the family's umbrella up over their heads.
According to the paper, the woman's right arm was red and she was complaining of some numbness. One of the children, a little boy, was shook up and crying.
We did confirm that everyone is expected to be OK. The family is being checked out at Christiana Hospital and they will probably be released this evening.
On Wednesday, a lightning strike along the Jersey Shore sent a pregnant woman and three other family members, including one of her children, to the hospital.
A storm moved into Wildwood quickly that day and lightning struck near the family as it huddled under some umbrellas. No one was seriously hurt.
"They just had some tingling in their hands and arms."

This tablet is ok for use to check and send e-mail, but the app store is a disapointment. this tablet DOES NOT support google play, which is the biggest and most needed app store. My only other complaint is sound feed back durring skype video calls, which is fixed by using head phones. Other than that, it is good. Camera works fine, touch responds well, plenty of memory, overall it's fine for it's intended purpose. But it I had to do it again, I would NOT buy this tablet again.
The tablet was nice out of the box. After a week the WiFi wouldn't stay connected, system slow, touch screen respone slow. Can't not get good apps. Very unhappy with this brand.

Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[3]
This text is quoted verbatim from the original source. Any inconsistencies are attributed to the original source.
" | REFERENDUM ON LEGISLATUOON MAKING CHANGES TO CHECK CASHING LENDING, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS "PAYDAY LENDING," FEES, INTEREST RATES AND PRACTICES Substitute House Bill 545 (H.B. 545), which was passed by the Ohio legislature and signed into law by the Governor, substantially changed the law regulating how certain lenders in Ohio operate. Under the referendum, voters must decide whether Section 3 of H.B. 545 should go into effect. Section 3 of H.B. 545 deletes the old provisions of the law regulating check cashing lenders, sometimes known as "payday lenders," in favor of the new provisions. 1. If a majority of Ohio voters approve Section 3 of H.B. 545, all short term lenders, including check cashing lenders, would be subject to the following limitations:
2. If a majority of Ohio voters reject Section 3 of H.B. 545, check cashing lenders would be allowed to continue under previous law as follows:
A majority YES vote is required for the amendment to be adopted. |
" |
HB 545 was approved by state lawmakers and the governor in late spring. Opponents of the new restrictions (mostly the payday lending industry) quickly moved to try to overturn it using Ohio's veto referendum process.
The payday lending industry is an $85 billion industry that provides short-term loans, which are usually secured with a check postdated to the borrower's next payday. The interest rate in the absence of regulation has typically worked out to an average of $15 per $100 borrowed on a two-week loan. The high interest rates are what has led to legislative attempts to cap those rates. In fifteen states, the practice was illegal by 2008.[4]
Due to winning a recent battle over the ballot language, the referendum that was presented to voters on the November ballot contained no mention of a 391 percent interest rate many payday lenders charged. Instead, it told voters that if they reject a portion of the law restricting the industry, payday lenders would be able to charge rates and fees that "substantially exceed" a 28 percent annual rate.[5]
State Rep. Christopher Widener, R-Springfield, supported HB 545, saying "I designed House Bill 545 to protect Ohioans from a dangerous product that has been sold at an egregious price. Sadly, the REJECT House Bill 545 Committee would prefer to prey on Ohio consumers than agree to the terms of the new legislation."[6]
Arguments in favor
The following reasons were given in support of Issue 5 by a committee appointed by the Ohio Ballot Board:[3]
This text is quoted verbatim from the original source. Any inconsistencies are attributed to the original source.
" | Is 391% interest too high? YES.
A yes vote caps the annual interest on a payday loan at 28%. Payday lenders don't like the interest rate cap. They want to charge 391% APR on a typical two-week loan. That's why the national payday lending lobby spent millions on misleading TV ads and petition circulators to get Issue 5 on the ballot. Here's what a Yes vote on Issue 5 does:
Here's what a YES vote does NOT do:
Reckless lending hurts more than unsteady borrowers. It puts a strain on our charities, increases demand for social services and undermines families and communities. Ohio has one of the best payday lending reform laws on the books! Please vote Yes on Issue 5 and Keep Ohio's payday lending reforms. |
" |
The official ballot argument in support of Issue 5 was signed by the mayor of Columbus Michael B. Coleman, Philip E. Cole, Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, Bruce R. Ough, and E.J. Thomas.
Reject House Bill 545 and Ohioans for Financial Freedom were the names of groups supporting repeal of HB 545; these groups were mostly composed of those in the payday loan business.
A letter from one payday loan operator to the people of Ohio surfaced quickly after the interest rate cap was passed to give people a different view of an industry that by some is considered cruel and seen as taking advantage of their customers:[7]
This text is quoted verbatim from the original source. Any inconsistencies are attributed to the original source.
" | "Some [customers] are shocked, some are mad and some are upset because not only do they depend on us, but they also have formed a great friendship with my employees and me. Oh, yes, did I also mention that I recently gave money to three individuals, out of my pocket, because they needed a little to hold them over until payday? Yes, we payday lenders really do such things. My customers will have nowhere to go unless our legislators are going to make these short-term loans. | " |
Organizations that supported repealing HB 545 include:
- Call & Post, Ohio's largest African-American newspaper
- CORE (Congress of Racial Equality)
- C.O.A.S.T.(Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes)
- The Ohio Chamber of Commerce
- The Ohio Grocers' Association
- The Ohio Christian Alliance
- The National Taxpayers Union (NTU)
Near the end of the campaign, financial newspapers reported that Advance America, one of the payday lenders that would be affected by the measure, stood to lose $42 million if forced to close its centers in Ohio.[8]
Arguments against
The following reasons were given in opposition of Issue 5 by the Committee to Reject H.B. 545:[3]
This text is quoted verbatim from the original source. Any inconsistencies are attributed to the original source.
" | If approved Issue 5 would:
Why you should vote no on Issue 5: Hardworking families make difficult financial choices everyday. Taking a legitimate credit option from them, especially when they have an emergency or an unexpected need, will result in greater financial hardship. Ohioans deserve the freedom to make their own financial decisions - it should be an individual's choice on which lending option to use, not a politician's. Payday advances are a sensible credit option. They cost only $15.00 per $100 borrowed. By comparison, banks charge $29.00 for overdrafts and $37.00 for late fees on credit cards. Other fees can be as high as $57.00. Vote no on Issue 5, to preserve a short-term loan option that is simple, reliable, and confidential - and often the cheapest available. Vote no on Issue 5, to ensure that those who need short-term financial help will have a choice. Vote no on Issue 5, to guarantee your right to access practical credit. By voting no on Issue 5, you will preserve the jobs of thousand of employees within the financial services sector. In Ohio's difficult economy, further job losses should be avoided, particularly good jobs - with competitive salaries and benefits. Vote no on Issue 5, to preserve financial choices; confidentiality and privacy in personal borrowing; and, the retention of up to 6,000 jobs for Ohio workers. VOTE |
" |
The official ballot argument in opposition of Issue 5 was signed by Stephen J. Schaller, Robert M. Greiser, and Bridgette C. Roman.
Campaign contributions
$19 million was spent by payday lending companies on Issue 5.[9][10]

Olympic athletes weren't the only people to pick up gold medals this summer. Wildwood Road resident Art McDermott returned from the US National Master's Track and Field Championships in Lisle, Illinios with a gold medal in the discus.
He won the gold in the 50- to 55-year-old division, the youngest and most competitive age group in the national master's competitions.
McDermott, a former Strongman competitor who owns Matrix Strength & Fitness in Wilmington, defeated the returning champ by about 5 feet, throwing the discus 50.04 meters, or nearly 165 feet back on July 5.
Ed Riewerts, the 2011 winner, came in third with a throw of 47.63 meters. Tim Williams of Dallas, Texas, came in second, heaving the discus 48.57 meters.
McDermott was the only competitor from New England in the top 10 of his age group.
When did you first become involved with track and field? The discus? I started throwing the shot put and discus in my junior year of high school...after I didn't make the hockey team at Malden Catholic - they were at one of the top teams around even then. Not a long high school track career in high school, but productive! I was Globe All-Scholastric my senior year. This opened the door to a full scholarshp at Boston University.
What else, if anything, do you compete in? I have competed professionally in the Scottish Highland Games as well as US Strongman circuit. Currently, the Master's Track is my main focus.
What attracted you to the discus?
The short version: I really like throwing stuff!
Once I hit 50 I became much more active with my discus throwing. I felt a strong need to get back into throwing. I love setting goals for myself. It keeps me focused. Right now, my next goal is to attend the World Masters Games in Torino, Italy, next August. I have already started training for that one.
Another positive point is that the actual implement itself for my age group gets lighter. The weight goes from 2 kilograms to 1.5 kilos - a pretty significant drop.
A more practical benefit is that discus throwing doesn't hurt! I have been quite hard on my joints over the years, so certain things leave me more sore than others. I am fortunate that discus throwing, something I have done now for about 34 years, is somewhat pain-free.
How quickly do you know you have made a good throw?
At this point in my career, I know whether or not I have had a good throw as soon as it leaves my hand. There is a lot of torque or "pull" that gets generated during a good throw, so as soon as it leaves my hand I know whether or not I have hit a good one. I just hope it happens more often than not! I have to say, when it does happen, there is really nothing like it.
Your competitive best: Now (as a "master") or at some time when you were younger?
Master's Best Throw: 50.27 meters or 165 feet. It is important to note that this discus weighs 1.5 kilos.
My best throw as an "open" thrower aka - when I was young - 64.08 meters or 210' 4" with a 2 kilo discus. I believe this still stands as the All-Time New England record. As a point of comparison, the winner of the London Olympic games - Robert Harting threw just over 68 meters. It is his technique I do my best to emulate these days.
How long do you plan on competing?
I will definitely compete as long as my body allows. I always need some sort of goal to work towards with my training. I strongly believe if you do not always attempt to see what your body is capable of, decline is inevitable. I will fight that every step of the way. In many ways, I feel like I am just getting going.
Do you do anything unusual to train?
I like to mix in a many different training styles. Since my body cannot handle the heavy weights I used to, I mix in anything that improves my speed and athleticism. This means Olympic lifting, lots of jumping, and even boot camp style training.
What is the No. 1 thing people 50 and over can/should do to stay in shape?
The first thing that jumps to my mind when I see that question is resistance training. Once you hit the age of 40, we can lose 1/2 pound of muscle mass yearly. The only way to avoid this is resistance training. I have seen first hand. Folks over 40 and above can easily add muscle mass with consistent strength training. Cardio work alone is not the answer. If people rely on walking or running alone, they are not getting the full benefit of their valuable time.

It was a packed house celebrating a program many in Salt Lake City have worked years to make a reality.
Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker said, "I've taken on to make sure we have really great bikeway systems."
The mayor is one of the bike plan's biggest advocates dubbing 2013 'The Year of the Bike' in Salt Lake City.
Mayor Becker said, "You shouldn't have to drive to get around downtown."
That goal is becoming a reality especially when the addition of the Green Bikes. Now giving you the chance to rent a bike, hop on and cruise.
Ben Bolte, Bike Share Director, said, "I don't know why you wouldn't do it. It's so much easier than walking on your knees."
Ben has been working on this program for two years and while he's excited, there have been questions on it really happening and preparation for potential problems.
Bolte said, "If it can work in DC, I'm pretty sure it can work here in Salt Lake City."
The parts of this bike will not work on any other bike. And in order to borrow one, you have to swipe your credit card at one of the kiosks. If you decide to keep the bike, you'll be charged the price of the bike.
For more information on where you can find bikes and the prices, visit their website linked on this page.

SARATOGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Greenfield woman convicted of animal cruelty was back in court after prosecutors say she was keeping horses on her property in violation of her sentencing order.
Ann Arnold was remanded to the Saratoga County Jail Monday evening until all the horses are removed from her property. Saratoga County District Attorney James Murphy says she removed 11 horses off the property, but three remain there.
Back in May of last year, Arnold was convicted of 19 counts of animal cruelty and sentenced to three years probation after 19 malnourished and neglected horses were found on her property. Part of the sentencing meant she was unable to have horses on her property for three years.
