Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is granting driver's licenses to some of the children of illegal immigrants, but what qualifies a few and disqualifies others is so far unknown.
When CityBeat last covered the BMV policy ("Not Legal Enough," issue of Feb. 6), Ever Portillo, a 22-year-old from El Salvador, was unable to get his license even when he was accompanied by his attorney at the West Broad Street BMV office in Columbus. Since then, Portillo returned to the same BMV office with his attorney, a community leader from DreamActivist Ohio and a reporter from The Columbus Dispatch and successfully obtained his license.
At the same time, CityBeat received a tip from an anonymous illegal immigrant after she could not get a driver's license for her son because, according to what she heard from the BMV, state policy is still being reviewed.
The differences between Portillo and the woman's experiences are reflected by what seems to be an internal conflict at the BMV, which CityBeat found in a series of internal documents sent by Brian Hoffman, Portillo's attorney. In emails dating back to January, state officials wrote that "foreign nationals" with C33 Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and I-797 documents with case types I-765D and I-821D cannot qualify for driver's licenses. The documents are part of President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which allows the children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States without fear of prosecution.
But a Feb. 13 memo from the BMV says Ohio has not issued a statewide policy on DACA for driver's licenses and is currently reviewing the process. A Feb. 19 email echoes the memo, stating "neither the Department (of Public Safety) nor the BMV has yet issued a statewide broadcast to provide direction regarding the DACA issue." In a Feb. 21 email, Lindsey Borher, spokesperson at the BMV, told CityBeat, "Our legal department is in the process of reviewing guidance from the federal government as it applies to Ohio law."
The discrepancy between January and February may be attributable to CityBeat originally breaking the story on the state policy, which was followed by a barrage of statewide media coverage on the issue.
If three unscientific, online polls are any indication, Ohio Gov. John Kasich probably shouldn't make plans for a second term.
The Columbus Dispatch, The Cleveland Plain Dealer and Dayton's WRGT-TV (Channel 45) have each had polls asking people to rate Kasich's performance during his first 100 days in office and the results are overwhelming and the same: Most disapprove of his performance or give him an "F."
For the first time since inauguration, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has a positive approval rating, but a plurality of registered voters say Kasich doesn't deserve a second term. The Quinnipac University poll attributed the increase in Kasich's approval rating to "high levels of satisfaction among Ohio voters with life in the Buckeye State." About 42 percent of respondents approved of Kasich, while 35 percent disapproved. About 42 percent said Kasich doesn't deserve a second term, while 36 percent said he does. The poll surveyed 1,165 registered voters with a margin of error of 2.9 percent.
Last night, Cincinnati held its final public hearing on City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. About 40 people spoke during the meeting, with many voicing concern about Media Bridges funding, which CityBeat recently covered here. The budget has also come under scrutiny due to its privatization of parking services, but Dohoney says the choice is privatization or 344 layoffs.
Cincinnati plans to bolster its green building incentives. City officials are trying to amend the city's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards to encourage higher levels of investment in green projects. Since LEED standards were first approved in 2009, they have been criticized for only offering strong incentives for lower levels of certification. The amendment seeks to make the higher levels of certification more appealing.
University Hospital is being renamed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
An "anti-immigrant bill" proposed by Cincinnati's Ohio Sen. Bill Seitz is not being received well by Innovation Ohio. S.B. 323 seeks to limit workers' compensation to illegal immigrants, but the Ohio policy research group is not sure that's a legitimate problem. The organization is also worried the bill will impose a regulatory burden on the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Ohio's workers without providing extra funds and training to carry out the regulations.
Ohio is improving in its battle against human trafficking. The state earned a "C" and it was labeled "most improved" in a new report from the Polaris Project. But one state legislator wants to go further by placing tougher standards on "johns" participating in the sex trade. CityBeat previously wrote about the human trafficking problem in Ohio here.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved enough credits to help create about 500 jobs in Greater Cincinnati.
Michigan may have recently passed its anti-union "right-to-work" law, but Gov. Kasich does not share a similar interest.
Kasich will announce his changes to the Ohio Turnpike Thursday and Friday. The governor says his proposed changes will unlock "greater wealth," but critics are worried Kasich is about to sell off a major public asset.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is still defending his decisions during the lead-up the election. Husted has now become infamous nationwide due to his pre-election record, which CityBeat wrote about here.Even Jesus would be jealous. Science can now turn human urine into brain cells.
City Council may vote today on the controversial plan to lease the city's parking assets to fund economic development and temporarily balance the deficit. On Friday, Councilman Chris Seelbach put forward Plan S, which would redirect $7.5 million in casino revenues, cut $5 million based on the results of the city's priority-driven budgeting and allow voters to choose between a $10-per-month trash fee or increase the city's admissions tax by 2 percent. Previously, City Manager Milton Dohoney unveiled Plan B to the parking plan, which would lay off 344 employees, eliminate Human Services Funding and close pools and recreation centers, among other changes. In response, mayoral candidate John Cranley proposed his own plan, which would use casino revenue, parking meter revenue and cuts to "non-essential programs" to tame the deficit. Plan B, Plan S and Cranley's plan all fix the structural deficit in the city's budget, while the parking plan only fixes the deficit for two years. The parking plan was unanimously approved by the Cincinnati Planning Commission Friday, and it appears five council members are ready to give the plan the go-ahead.
Members of Gov. John Kasich's own party are beginning to show skepticism toward the governor's budget proposal, which would expand the sales tax to apply to more services, increase the oil and gas severance tax and make more Ohioans eligible for Medicaid — mostly at the cost of the federal government. Republicans are likely to propose alternatives before a mid-April vote. In a Quinnipiac University poll, a majority of Ohioans approved of the Medicaid expansion but not Kasich's tax plan. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget plan in detail here.
Police are taking measures to prevent traffic problems at the Horseshoe Casino's grand opening tonight. Meanwhile, Indiana casinos are preparing for downturns as the Horseshoe Casino promises a major alternative to tri-state gamblers. During the soft opening last week, Ohio's casino regulator found the Horseshoe Casino would have to fix its security and surveillance before the grand opening. Previous studies found casinos bring job growth at the cost of crime, bankruptcy and even suicide, and a Dayton Daily News report also found the state's casinos are falling short of job projections.
On Friday, the sequester, a series of across-the-board federal budget cuts, kicked in, and it could mean big funding reductions for Ohio's schools. The blunt cuts are largely because Republicans refuse to negotiate with President Barack Obama and Democrats — to the point that Republicans don't even know what the president is proposing.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio is asking the state's Department of Education to expand its seclusion room rules to apply to charter schools. Previous reports found seclusion rooms, which were originally intended to hold out-of-control kids until they calm down, have been largely used for convenience by educators, leading to stricter policies from the Ohio Department of Education. But the regulations currently apply only to traditional public schools, not charter schools.

Gov. John Kasich is refusing to work with Obamacare. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the governor today declined to have the state government run its health insurance exchange. With the move, the federal government will be put in charge of managing Ohio's exchange.
Exchanges are subsidized, heavily regulated insurance markets that will go into effect in 2014 as part of Obamacare. They are supposed to bring down costs by offering more transparent, open competition through a fair, regulated marketplace. As part of Obamacare, states have to decide by Dec. 14 whether they'll manage the exchanges or let the federal government do it.
Conservatives were quick to praise Kasich's decision. Americans for Prosperity applauded the choice in a statement. The Buckeye Institute put up a blog post calling the move "the right decision for Ohio." The Coalition Opposed to Additional Taxes and Spending (COAST) called the move the right choice.
At first, the choice seems like a contradiction for conservatives. After all, they're the group that normally rails against a big federal government. Why let the federal government take over a new, major part of the health-care system? Rob Nichols, Kasich's spokesperson, justified the decision in a statement: "Ohio would have no flexibility to shape an exchange to our needs and its costs will be so high that it just doesn't make sense for the state to operate a health exchange under Obamacare." In other words, even if the state managed the exchanges, it would still have to answer to the federal government.
In his letter, Kasich also stated Ohio will not give up its right to regulate the insurance market. So the federal government will have the final say on exchanges, but Kasich wants to keep the rest of the market under state regulatory control. The state will also keep control over deciding Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) eligibility.
Ohio is not alone in declining to supervise exchanges. Other states have signed off on letting the federal government manage them, including Florida and Texas.
Still, Republicans may want to proceed cautiously. Recent polling has shown that support for repealing Obamacare has massively dropped. That shift could reflect reality catching up to public opinion. Republicans tend to rail against Obamacare by saying it's too expensive, but a Congressional Budget Office report found repealing Obamacare would increase the deficit by $109 billion between 2013 and 2022.
Gov. John Kasich has something to say to anyone waiting on federal funding to help fix their bridges (and while we're at it, any local governments who need funding for something other than food and water): Forget about it. During an interview with Enquirer editors and reporters yesterday,* Kasich said tolls are the best means for funding a new Brent Spence Bridge.
"I do not believe that a white charger is going to come galloping (from Washington) into Cincinnati with $2 billion in the saddlebags," Kasich said. "So if that isn't going to happen and all we do is delay, delay, delay and we push this thing out until 2036 ... holy cow!"
* CityBeat had a similar meeting scheduled but we forgot about it and weren't here at the time — sorry Kasich, we'll get ya next time!
Things are about to get weird in a Clermont County courtroom if David Krikorian and Chris Finney get their wish — to have Jean Schmidt on the witness stand on May 17. Finney, the attorney for Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), has been representing Krikorian, a former Democratic and independent candidate who unsuccessfully ran against Schmidt for Ohio's 2nd congressional district seat, has served Schmidt with a subpoena as part of Krikorian's lawsuit claiming a Schmidt lawsuit against Krikorian was frivolous. COAST's ghost-written blog posted commentary in February in response to accusations from Brad Wenstrup that Schmidt was using campaign funds to pay off legal fund debt from earlier campaign nonsense against Krikorian. Eastsiders mad.

British Prime Minister David Cameron only recently learned what LOL means in text-speak. The explanation occurred during witness testimony from Rebekah Brooks, the former head of Rupert Murdoch's the now-defunct News of the World. Brooks was forced to resign last year amid a phone-hacking scandal.
"He would sign them off 'DC' in the main," Brooks said, referring to Cameron's initials. "Occasionally he would sign them off 'LOL' — 'lots of love' — until I told him it meant 'laugh out loud,' and then he didn't sign them off [that way] anymore."
It was certainly an LOL moment during Brooks' testimony in a London courtroom Friday as part of a judicial inquiry into media ethics. But the disclosure also underscored the warm personal ties between the prime minister and Brooks, the former head of media baron Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers who was forced to resign in disgrace last summer.

Here's the local spin about on freak outfielder coming to town for a weekend series against the Reds.
City Council on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a measure that will offer benefits to domestic partners of city employees. The measure was introduced by Councilman Chris Seelbach and passed 8-1, the lone "no" vote coming from Charlie Winburn. Seelbach told The Enquirer that domestic partner benefits not only affect same-sex couples, but are also applicable to non-married partners, which is an added attraction to lure talented employees to the city. Covington officials passed a similar measure Tuesday.
If you owe the city of Cincinnati any parking fines, now would be a good time to pay them. Cincinnati police are going to start hearing descriptions of vehicles with multiple outstanding tickets during roll call and then head out to find them during patrols.
Eric Deters wants to be a real lawyer again. The attorney/radio personality/cage fighter says his current predicament — Kentucky law license suspension — is mostly because someone making the rulings "hates him" and is not due to the "ethical lapses" that caused his original 61-day suspension. If Deters can't get the Kentucky Supreme Court to help him out he'll have to go in front of a Character and Fitness Committee and explain all the crazy stuff he's done.
Gov. John Kasich is making changes to the state's Medicaid program, which he and its officials say will save money, though it will cause disruptions in the form of some recipients needing to find new providers, many of which have less access to medical advice and financial help. A similar program implemented in Kentucky last year resulted in complaints that patients couldn't get services authorized and providers didn't get paid on time, according to The Enquirer.

The ongoing saga involving Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig and his nonexistent policing powers will continue into July, as a hearing scheduled for Thursday has been continued. Craig's attorneys will argue in front of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission that his prior experience, and certification in three other states, should exempt him from a state rule requiring all officers pass a certification exam before earning police powers. Craig believes he was hired to do things other than study for an entry-level policing test, and some states would already have certified him.
A statewide ban on texting while driving moved through the Ohio House of Representatives yesterday and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. John Kasich. The law makes the writing, sending or reading of a text message while driving a secondary offense, meaning officers may not pull over an adult driver for the act. Teens, however, under House Bill 99 will be prohibited from using any electronic device other than GPS and may be pulled over for it.
Kasich on Tuesday followed through with the GOP plan to overturn its own controversial election law that was to go before voters in November. State Republicans and election officials now say there's no reason for the law to go in front of voters thanks to the 300,000 signatures gathered by President Obama's re-election campaign and other opponents, but opponents of the election law point out that the repeal still reaffirms an election law change that would end early voting the weekend before an election. Democrats plan to keep the issue on the ballot.
But people on both sides of the issue say there's no precedent for a legislative repeal of a bill that also is the subject of a referendum, so it's unclear how a court might rule if a legal challenge is filed.
Jennifer Brunner, a former Democratic secretary of state and a leader in the Fair Elections Ohio campaign that brought the referendum, said Tuesday that the action taken by Gov. John Kasich and Legislature doesn't force the removal of the question from November ballots.
"Since this issue is a case of first impression for any court, we do not see the statement of the Secretary of State to be determinative on this issue," Brunner said in an email. "The issue remains on the ballot."
More drama from Columbus: Republicans are moving forward with a test program requiring some welfare recipients to submit to drug testing in order to continue receiving benefits. Opponents say the process stigmatizes the poor, while the GOP says it's just a simple process involving poor people paying the upfront costs for drug tests, being reimbursed if they pass and living on the streets for six months if they fail.

Two Kentucky high school students who were turned away from their senior prom for arriving as a same-sex couple have argued that if their Catholic high school wants to ban students based on upholding the church's teachings, such a ban should include couples who have had premarital sex and kids who plan to get wasted after the prom.
Apparently viewers of Harry's Law, which was set in Cincinnati and used a stage-version of Arnold's as the lawyer gang's regular hangout, are too old to attract advertising dollars despite their relatively high numbers.
The show ranked very low among viewers ages 18 to 49, the demographic most advertisers care about. In fact, its young-adult numbers were beneath those for "Prime Suspect," a cop show that NBC canceled earlier this season, and roughly on par with those of "Off Their Rockers," the Betty White show about senior citizens pulling pranks on younger people.
"It was a difficult decision," an NBC executive said Sunday, quoted by the site Deadline.com. "Everyone here respects 'Harry's Law' a lot but we were finding it hard to grow the audience for it. Its audience skewed very old and it is hard to monetize that."
President Obama raised $44 million during April for his and other Democratic campaigns.
John Boehner says that when the federal government raises the debt limit again America can expect another prolonged fight about cuts.
George W. Bush has found "freedom" wherever he ended up after having little to offer the GOP after his tumultuous two terms as president. From ABC News:
We don't see much of Bush these days. He's the president that a lot of people would like to forget, still so toxic that he's widely considered more likely to hurt than help the Republican Party by participating in the 2012 campaign.
Bush's speech Tuesday morning was a rare exception. He spoke in a small, nondescript room to about 200 people about democracy activists, promoting a human rights campaign that's part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
His presence on the national stage is perhaps best seen in his presence on the small stage at 1777 F Street. At the end of the affair, Bush and his wife were called back up to be presented with writings by Czech human rights icon Vaclav Havel. They posed for pictures as the audience clapped, and when they were done, Bush glanced around as if unsure what to do next.
He walked back to his seat, but then quickly walked back onto the stage and behind the lectern. He leaned forward into the microphone, paused, and said slyly, "Thanks for coming."
Bush waited a second or two. Then he said, "See ya later."
He waved, and then he left.

In two days, the physical space that's housed Cincinnati's Gay and Lesbian Community Center for the past 20 years will be vacant, but the organization won't disappear entirely.
Instead, the Center will become a completely virtual informational resource for the region's LGBT community and act as a funding resource for other Cincinnati organizations.
The Center could not be immediately reached for comment on the closure.
A letter from the board of directors sent out on Oct. 28 announced that the decision to close was based on a need to "evolve with the times." The letter states that the organization will continue to answer emails and voicemails and maintain its popular annual fundraiser, Pride Night at Kings Island, and that the board is working on selecting a public location to hold annual meetings.
Pride Night at Kings Island, which has consistently been the Center's most profitable and popular fundraising effort, brought out record crowds this year.
The private, nonprofit volunteer-run foundation, which has been located in Northside for the past 20 years, uses its profits to provide grant to other Cincinnati-area LGBT groups. The organization's first grant for 2014 will provide Cincinnati Pride with $5,000 to expand promotions for Cincinnati Gay Pride on May 31, 2014, and for the city's celebration of Pride Month, which runs through June.
Dan Whitten, a vice president at America's Natural Gas Alliance, a Washington-based trade group, had already expressed opposition to the idea, on March 8 telling Bloomberg in an email: "Natural-gas production is a capital-intensive undertaking and we believe generally that fees should be directed to communities where we work, with careful consideration of the possible direct jobs impacts."
Other trade organizations today spoke out against the increased tax rates, as they would prefer to take all the energy out of Ohio's land and not pay higher taxes.
Thomas Steward, executive vice president of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, told The Cleveland Plain Dealer that his organization will fight the tax increase when the plan goes before lawmakers.
"This sounds like something that would have come from the left," Steward said.
Among the methods of extracting the natural gas is a controversial process called fracking, which involves blasting pressurized slurries of water, chemicals and sand into ancient shale formations, thousands of feet below ground. CityBeat reported on Jan. 24 that 43 households have filed a class-action lawsuit in response various environmental hazards allegedly caused by fracking in Geauga County, Ohio. From the story:
Fracking in Ohio is booming rapidly, thanks in part to the barely tapped potential of the vast Utica Shale, a gassy, 445-million-year-old rock formation that lies beneath a third of the state, at a depth of around 7,000 feet. Until last year, only three permits had been granted for horizontal drilling into the Utica, but in 2011 the number exceeded 40.
In 2004 Ohio's State Legislature repealed the abilities of elected local governments to regulate or refuse gas drilling, instead handing full authority to the industry-friendly Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). In 2005, the U.S. Congress ruled to exempt fracking from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The gas extraction
process has been found to be so environmentally detrimental that
France and Bulgaria have banned the practice in their countries. New
Jersey is the only U.S. state where it is banned. CityBeat in
January reported that State Rep. Denise Driehaus (D-Price Hill) had
sponsored one of three state bills that would tighten fracking
regulations and Rep. Robert Hagan (D-Youngstown) introduced a bill to
put a moratorium on wastewater injection.
Kasich's interest in reducing income taxes comes one year after his two-year budget cost counties, municipalities and townships $167.1 million, according the The Columbus Dispatch, which described the plan's impact on the state in the following manner: "Kasich's budget slashes aid to local governments: Tuition hikes limited to 3.5% for higher education."
Ohio's budget deficit was $8 billion when Kasich offered his 2011 budget, which his administration said would save $1.4 billion through reform measures that included reduced funding for social service programs such as the health and developmental disability departments.
Despite the still existing state budget deficit, Kasich wants to reduce income taxes, even though his spokesman Scott Milburn proudly told Bloomberg that, "the governor has already cut taxes by more than $800 million."

STANFORD — Kevin Hogan walked into Stanford quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford's office Sunday — a day off for players — to get his week started a little earlier.
After winning his first 10 starts, including the Pac-12 title game and the Rose Bowl last season, Hogan had never felt the sting he did after the Cardinal lost 27-21 at Utah on Saturday. The redshirt sophomore quarterback just didn't want to wait until Monday to begin correcting his mistakes.
"He definitely felt the loss," Sanford said. "I don't think that there's a guy that's more competitive that I've been around internally. He's his harshest critic."
As Hogan has gone the past year, so has Stanford's offense.
The quarterback sparked Stanford's surge late last season when he supplanted Josh Nunes and started this year even stronger, showing off a new deep passing game that led to four blowout victories. But Hogan has been inconsistent the last two weeks in a close win over Washington and the loss at Utah. He's looked more like a player who has been the starter for less than a calendar year than one who last season took Stanford to a place Andrew Luck never could.
Hogan will get the chance to respond from his first setback when No. 13 Stanford (5-1, 3-1) hosts No. 9 UCLA (5-0, 2-0) on Saturday in a rematch of last season's Pac-12 championship game.
"I put as much as I can on myself," Hogan said. "That's my job is to get us in the right play, get us in the right protection, make sure the guys are in the right place, make sure everybody knows what they're doing."
Hogan has thrown for 1,178 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions this season. He has completed 61.2 percent of his passes and run for 141 yards and a score.

Heathrow emergeny landing disrupts bank holiday travellers
A British Airways aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing this morning after one of its engines caught fire and the cowling blew-off the other.
The Airbus AS19 landed safely with the 75 passengers and five crew were evacuated down emergency shoots. Three crew members were treated for minor injuries. ITV News Reporter Rupert Evelyn reports.
Passengers on board captured dramatic footage of the open left-side jet engine and subsequent emergency landing.
193 flights from Heathrow were cancelled due to the incident, and there were severe delays on flights into the evening.
BA had been expecting today to be the busiest of the bank holiday period with 128,000 passengers due to travel. The airline had planned to carry more than 430,000 customers over the next few days, with 116,000 due to return on bank holiday Monday.
Read: 193 Heathrow flights cancelled
British Airways said it has launched a "full investigation" into the emergency landing.
Customers and crew onboard a British Airways aircraft that returned to Heathrow this morning are safe and well after being evacuated from the aircraft.
Flight BA762 departed Heathrow at 8.16am and returned to Heathrow at 8.43am due to an engine technical fault.
The Airbus A319 aircraft was carrying 75 customers and five crew.
The aircraft landed safely and cabin crew evacuated customers using emergency slides.
The airline has begun a full investigation into the incident and is working with the Air Accident Investigation Bureau to establish the cause.
The delays forced some of the acts due to perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Derry to pull-out.

Cambridge, Mass. - September 21, 2013 - The Springfield College women's volleyball team powered past host MIT in three sets thanks to hitting .446 as a team in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action Saturday afternoon. Set scores were 27-17, 25-22, 27-17.
With three players in double-digits for kills, freshman Lauren Holt (Granby, Conn.) led the Pride (10-0, 2-0 NEWMAC) with 12 kills to go along with three blocks. Junior Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) paced the Engineers (9-5, 1-1 NEWMAC) with 14 kills.
Springfield established a 6-3 edge in the opening set, but MIT generated an 8-3 spurt as back-to-back Astrachan kills put it in front, 11-9. Following a timeout by the Pride, the visitors captured nine of the next 10 points by capitalizing on several miscues by the Engineers to reclaim the lead for good. After a timeout by the hosts, an exchange of sideouts ensued which brought MIT within four (19-15). Springfield quickly doubled its advantage and later won the set on a strike by sophomore Elise Brogan (Andover, Mass.).
The Engineers raced out to a 10-5 advantage in the second stanza, courtesy of three straight kills by Astrachan. The Pride battled back, generating a trio of ties before kills by senior Tessa Smolinski (Hebron, Conn.) and Holt resulted in a 17-15 lead. The set became a back-and-forth affair until a kill from Holt coupled with an MIT hitting error gave the visitors set point at 24-21. Senior Tatiana Berger's (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) kill extended the frame but a Smolinski strike thwarted the attempt at a late rally.
The early stages of the third set were closely played as it featured five ties and four lead changes. A pair of errors and two kills from sophomore Kelsey McGayhey (Shelter Island, N.Y.) sparked a 10-1 run that gave the Pride an 18-10 lead. Freshman Lara Markey (San Diego, Calif.) produced a kill for the Engineers following their own timeout, but this was as close as it would get as Springfield maintained a comfortable cushion en route to the victory.
Senior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) recorded 10 kills, a .389 hitting performance, and three blocks for MIT. Berger finished with eight kills and three digs as senior Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) added two blocks. Freshman Tori Wuthrich (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) collected 10 digs, followed by seven from classmate Jennie Glerum (Redmond, Wash.). Junior Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.) dished out 29 assists for the Engineers.
McGayhey totaled 11 kills while Smolinski registered 10 kills, seven digs, and two aces. Sophomore Daniella Crismani (San Francisco, Calif.) posted eight kills, five digs and two aces as freshman Meghan Kinee (Williamstown, N.J.) contributed seven digs. Junior Whitney Miller (Cuba, N.Y.) compiled 35 assists and five digs for the Pride as she led the Springfield's offense to a team hitting percentage above .400 for the second time this year.
Up next for Springfield will be another league contest on the road, this time at Babson, on Tuesday at 7:00 pm.

Mary Walker High School has begun the search for a pair of new varsity coaches.
The school district is looking for replacements for head football coach Mark Edwards and boys basketball coach Dave Howard.
• Edwards assumed control of the Charger football program in 2006. While he did not have winning record in any of his seven seasons (12-51 overall), the Chargers did advance to the regional playoffs in 2010.
• Howard recently completed his second year as Charger head basketball coach. His team finished the first season 4-17 overall and 2-14 in the Northeast 2B League. The lack of wins did not stop fellow NE-2B coach from selecting him co-coach of the year.
Last season, Howard, who was an assistant to former longtime head coach Dwayne Watts, finished with a 0-22 overall record and 0-14 in the NE-2B.

What are diverse ways of relating Christian faith and counseling method to real people in a clinical setting? Is there a "best" or "most effective" method? What are the tensions associated with this relationship, whether in a secular or faith-based context? How does the manner in which we conceptualize this process make a difference in the way we work with clients who have a range of mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges? At bottom, what transforms effective counseling into a distinctively Christian experience? And what, from a Christian standpoint, should be the goal of the clinical moment?
The last fifty years have been witness to significant ideological shifts and disagreements regarding religious faith, clinical methodology, and client care. These differences divide clergy and mental health professionals, specialists and generalists, biblical scholars and social scientists – at times to the detriment of those in the helping profession and those desperately seeking help.
Given the unique demands and constraints of the Christian counselor working in both secular and faith-based settings, the tasks of actively relating one's faith to one's work as a psychological healer and people-helper are complex and frequently difficult. Often requiring great creativity, the expression of one's faith commitments authentically, faithfully, and with integrity in the counseling setting is among the most satisfying professional challenges a Christian counselor can experience. For this reason, the support of fellow believers in the counseling community and the strategic tools of integration with which we can equip one another are vital – indeed, indispensable – in assisting Christian counselors in walking the line of moral and professional integrity.
"Into the Consulting Room" brings together leading representatives of five major approaches that seek to relate Christianity to the field of counseling. At this convocation renowned therapists will gather for a stimulating round of "show and tell." Each consultant brings a unique vision of how Christian discipleship permeates one's career as a helping professional. Based on the new InterVarsity Press volume Counseling and Christianity: Five Approaches (scheduled for release in August of 2012), this colloquium takes various models of psychology and Christian faith from classroom to clinic, from concept to care, from therapeutic idea to clinical encounter. This unique opportunity will allow participants to eavesdrop on helping professionals at the peak of their careers as they speak from within the counseling room. Attendees will be given both a background of the emergence of the various methodological positions and the importance these positions play in counseling practice and training. Presenters will provide a summary of each view and offer a clinical demonstration of how it looks in the counseling office, while discussing how their perspectives impact a cluster of vital clinical issues.
Join us for this spirited conversation, in which counseling and Christian faith – and charitable debate – meet. "Into the Consulting Room" provides a rare – and refreshing – opportunity to discuss differences in counseling method within a Christian framework while providing clinical demonstration of contrasting approaches toward client care.

I love Mother Of Tears. I've never seen him more confidently execute form in his career. It's not just using the aesthetics of the grotesque, but encompassing many elemental disciplines. Just a well rounded, enigmatic piece of modern fantasia. Hope that's not too florid, but there's no really plain way to descibe much of his work.

Wow, I couldn't think of it any differently. I thought it was passionless and uninteresting. As much as I've always been into Asia I think it has to be the worst performance I have ever seen by her. Maybe it's just one of those movies that will grow on me. I hope it is.

Well...there's no doubt he was passionate about the production, as there's plenty of evidence to the fact he was borderline giddy with enthusiasm on the set. Whether that translates to you personally is another matter.

I haven't heard or seen anything from him about the movie other than trying to explain the ridiculous ending and saying that the characters were reacting to the fact that none of the events in the movie actually took place that it was all a fantasy. I won't write it off just yet but I'm not ready to watch it again either.

I was very eager to see
Mother of Tears
. Then I watched it.
Holy fuck, I think a timeshare presentation is more enjoyable than that movie.

I'm actually going to jump in and say that Kubrick is my all-time favorite! I don't think he ever made a bad movie with maybe the exception of Fear and Desire(even that one contains some merit). On the subject of Eyes wide Shut, I think that's got to be the greatest conclusion to any directors filmography that i can think of! It's a strange movie that I have continued to return to over the years and I actually just watched again the other night as well. What do you think of some of his earlier works? Also, have you had the chance to see Fear and Desire?

Finally, I can sit and respond. Everytime I'm about to I'm either battling a dodgy internet connection or getting called away.
Fear and Desire is one of three Kubrick films I have yet to see. His 3 earliest films are the ones I'm missing. Actually I'm missing them all right now except for the ones released on Blu-ray so far which is basically the Kubrick Collection minus Barry Lyndon and Lolita. I'd like an Ultimate Kubrick Collection with all of his films. As for his ealier works I'd say Spartacus and Paths of Glory are the standouts to me although I haven't seen any of them in awhile. I'll have to make it a point.
EWS makes me sad in that while it was a great way to go out I just think it was too soon. He wasn't done by any stretch. I wonder if the Napolean film would have been his next one. The amount of research he did for each subject was amazing but what he did for Napolean just blows my mind. He wasn't just a filmmaker, he was a historean and obsessive about everything. For Napolean he had a card catalogue with a card for each day that would tell what and where Napolean was at the time. I really have no interest in Napolean but I bet I would have had I watched this movie.
I think I'm going to put in A Clockwork Orange tonight which is just a complete mind fuck of a movie. The Shining may have been Kubrick's most frightening movie but I think A Clockwork Orange is actually darker.
Anyway, welcome.
FC3000 I pretty much felt the same way with Mother of Tears but reading what Legba thinks about it maybe I was being too harsh. It could have been a case of me overhyping a movie to myself which I do.

Have you read his screenplay for Napolean? It's really interesting to see what he had in mind. Oh by the way, you may or may not know this, but someone has uploaded Fear and Desire on you-tube so if you're interested give it a look.

I just got done with a book entitled, 'Stanley Kubrick Interviews'. It's a compilation of interviews he did throughout the course of his career. The Playboy interview is incredibly interesting and very thought provoking. It came when 2001 had just been released. Most of the interviews about 2001 were interesting.
I haven't read his screenplay for Napolean. I'm curious, of course the film would probably focus on his battle strategies and such but how much sex did it have? I would love to read it myself.
I am going to check out Fear and Desire. I think it would be very interesting to see how it all began with Stanley doing everything himself without any kind of education and just reading books.
Man, my gf does not like Kubrick very much anymore after watching A Clockwork Orange. She felt totally offended by it. It's going to be pretty difficult to get her to watch anything he made although she doesn't think that horribly of The Shining and I can't see her disliking Full Metal Jacket too much. Basically she thinks he's weird and just doesn't get him.
I should add that anything that came out of his mouth was interesting. Even answers to the most mundane questions.

2001 is pretty incredible. Kubrick's apemen kick the shit out of anything in The Planet of the Apes. It still looks as amazing today as I'm sure it did when it came out. The only effect I don't really like in the movie is the starchild. He should have at least made it blink.

I didn't realize it was the 40th anniversary of the Lunar Landing. There's no more a fitting time to watch 2001 than right now. Kubrick fully realized the moon before we had even been there. His moon may have turned out to be more interesting but it still is amazing what he and Arthur C. Clarke came up with. I've never read the subsequent Clarke novels. Actually the only things I've ever read of his were short stories for some reason. I guess the book is much different than the movie since Kubrick changed the screenplay so much after Clarke had stopped working on it with him. I'd like to actually read them some day.

I always wonder why we got to the moon and stopped. I was sure we would have at least been to Mars by now. It's interesting that some scientists believe that Jupiter's moons are constructs created by a civilization that needed to escape the surface of a dying planet. I had dreams of this very thing as a kid except it was always Venus and the hollow moons were filled with beautiful, naked women.

Full Metal Jacket
Written, Produced and Directed by Stanley Kubrick
The 3 vietnam warflicks that all hit around the same time were all very good movies. Who can turn off Platoon when it's on several times a day on cable? Hambuger Hill might be the most obscure but its a damn good movie by its own rights. I watch all three. And of course Apocolypse Now.
I like Full Metal Jacket so much because despite these othyer movies Kubrick just did his own thing.
The bootcamp in the movie is the truest to real life bootcamp it caqn bee. Except they fucked with us a whole helluva lot more. Its also inevitable there is a Pyle in every company. No doubt about it.
Ermey was outstanding. Goodthing Kubrick decided to fire the man who was supposed to play him and made Ermey, who was Kubrick's military advisor.
Even as hard core as they make it seem sometime my experience with not one but two hard ass drill instructors fucked us up way more than that movie made it out to be.
My favorite part is when they get to that town. Kubrick had found it in England and they were going to blow it up. Kubrick got approval to film there and for 2 weeks they brought in wrecking balls to give the place that bombed out shell look to it. And it looks brilliant.
Animal Mother is awesome (Who says the Baldwins suck)
Anyway, this is very much a different kind of war movie from those other 3 previously mentioned.
I love it! i ALSO LOOK REALLY BAD WITH NO HAIR. The most traumatizing part of it all to mu. My beautiful mullet that the chicks loved Serious.

Wow, I was pretty under the influence when I made that last post. Fuck it.
I picked up Arthur C Clarkes, 2001,2010 and 2061. I'll have to look around for 3001.
I also picked up 2010 on Blu and watched it. It's a pretty great sequel to an amazing movie. Must have been pretty daunting to take that on. Kubrick destroyed everything he made for 2001 so it could never be reused in any other science fiction movie so they had to recreate the Discovery from watching the movie. They did a damn good job. Watching them a week apart I couldn't tell any difference.
2010 definitely stands with 2001 as great sci-fi films in film history.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Drama, Disney, CinematicalI still don't understand the success of March of the Penguins. I don't understand the film's popularity, and I really don't understand how it beat Murderball for the documentary Oscar. I do understand its influence, though. Yes, Happy Feet was coincidentally in production before the release of the penguin doc, but as far as the public knows, the animated movie is coming on the heels of March, and it should be of help to Warner Bros. that kids might be hungry for more penguins (not literally, of course). Earlier this month, the New York Times featured an article on the penguin craze and mentioned other related movies coming out in the near and distant future, including Surf's Up, a Madagascar sequel and a long-in-the-works Opus picture. Of course, there's also Bob Saget's March parody, Farce of the Penguins, which heads straight-to-DVD in January.
But what about the nature documentary? What influence has March of the Penguins had on its genre as opposed to its subject? Obviously, Hollywood isn't so keen on celebrating the medium, especially when that medium is one typically associated with the Discovery Channel and other cable outlets more than with theatrical box office gold. Sure, before March of the Penguins there was Winged Migration, another doc about birds that grossed about $11 million domestically, but compared to March's $77 million domestic earnings, that can easily be forgotten in studio execs' memories.
Walt Disney Pictures, which had a foreign connection to March, is now thinking more about the next bird thing. Eventually the kids will be tired of the penguin craze, and so in 2008, the studio is hoping that flamingos will be in vogue. Variety has announced that nature filmmakers Matthew Aeberhard and Leander Ward will be spending the next 50 weeks or so documenting the life cycle of flamingos in Northern Tanzania. The result, currently titled Dreamscape (expect that to change to Flight of the Flamingos or something else more literal), is scheduled for release in early 2008. Though Disney is involved through Buena Vista Intl, France, just as they were with March, the previous film was actually distributed here by Warner Independent Pictures, so I'm not sure if they'll handle it themselves this time around. If the studio is hoping to follow the success of the penguins, though, and claim pink is the new black (and white), they'll want to keep this one in house.
Aeberhard was quoted as saying he wants, "to target a younger, hipper audience than wildlife films generally attract." Could this mean marketing toward teens rather than tykes? Perhaps he's afraid that middle American parents won't want to expose their children to an animal associated with homosexuality (yes, literally).

Perspectives: Plant InSites
Distillation Columns: Get Some Inside Information
A gravity-flow loop can enable measuring internal liquid flow in a column
Throughput or fractionation performance in specific systems may vary dramatically depending upon how precisely the internal liquid rate can be controlled close to its limit. Four basic methods can determine the liquid rate within a column:
• calculating heat and material balances using heat input, heat output and external stream rates and properties;
• taking a total draw and then returning liquid through a metered pumped-flow loop;
• taking a total draw and then returning liquid through a metered gravity-flow loop; and
• measuring a column liquid level to infer flow.
Each of these has pros and cons; several or all four might work for a given system. Physical layout and data precision impose particular requirements for each option. Specific systems tend to favor one option or another. Getting the details right counts.
Here, let's specifically look at taking a total draw and then returning the liquid through a metered gravity-flow loop.
Figure 1 is a partial elevation sketch of a 42-in.-diameter distillation tower. Feed enters the tower between Bed 2 and Bed 3. Beneath Bed 2, a collector tray takes liquid out as a total draw. A gravity-fed loop is used to measure the flow rate of liquid from that collector tray.
I first applied this configuration nearly 25 years ago in a specialty lubricants distillation unit as part of a larger revamp. Discussing that job after the fact, another senior engineer emphatically stated that this type of flow measurement system never could work. He had seen many attempts but none had succeeded. This surprised me because the client was very pleased with its performance. So, we sat down together to review what was built.
Figure 1 highlights seven key features:
1. Collector tray. This serves to gather the liquid. For a packed tower, it's a default choice. Most applications of this configuration will have a low liquid rate. (A future column will cover the "why.") Therefore, the tray must be fully welded. A collector tray is a good idea even in a tower with trays. However, with the correct modifications, a special tray configuration may suffice.
2. Nozzle sized for self-vented flow. Vapor bubbles entrained in the liquid reduce system capacity and give incorrect flow-meter readings. Self-vented nozzles have a low enough liquid velocity that vapor can escape and return to the tower. (See: "Assess the Gravity of the Situation.")
3. Sufficient static head. H1 is the minimum distance required to generate enough static head for pressure drop to drive flow through the system. This sets the minimum distance between the draw nozzle and return nozzle elevations. Pipe diameter often is reduced downstream of the self-venting nozzle to cut costs. In that case, H1 must be based on the elevation of the pipe diameter reduction, as shown in Figure 1. In an effort to minimize this height, high-β-value orifice plates often are used to decrease pressure drop.
4. Adequate upstream pipe run. H2 is the minimum upstream pipe run to get well-conditioned flow needed for accurate metering. With orifice flow meters, the higher the β value, the longer the pipe run required. (See: "Think Straight about Orifice Plates.")
5. Flow instrument in liquid-filled location. The meter can be installed in either a vertical (as shown) or horizontal position. In all cases, the piping configuration must ensure the line is filled with liquid.
6. Long-enough downstream pipe run. H3 is the minimum downstream pipe run necessary for well-conditioned flow for meter accuracy.
7. Suitable distance between the return and lowest-pressure points. H4 is the minimum interval from the return elevation to the lowest-pressure point (vena contracta) to prevent vaporization downstream of the orifice plate. The vena contracta occurs some distance after the orifice plate. Most times, it's close enough that the orifice plate location can be used to set elevations. Nevertheless, engineers with a good grasp of fundamentals never forget the difference. Avoiding vaporization is important to getting accurate flow measurements. Either H3 or H4 may set the minimum distance from the flow meter to the return nozzle.
One extra point not shown — insulation — is important. In hot systems, a little heat loss makes H4 less likely to set the system. In cold systems, heat gain easily may make H4 dominant. More insulation helps. Vaporization in the system also dramatically may boost pressure drop, increasing H1 as well.
These points apply equally to both packed and trayed towers.
Going back to the discussion with my colleague: After reviewing the system, he asked: "Just how tall was this loop?" The final system with its vertically mounted meter was nearly 30-ft high. Gravity-feed flow-measurement systems require ample height. A horizontal mounting may make H2 and H3 unimportant but H1 and H4 never go away.

The Buccaneers' coaching staff used a Week Four bye to tinker with the roles of some of its personnel, including WR Arrelious Benn and RB LeGarrette Blount, and word is the rookies will be featured more prominently in Week Five.
Benn, a second-round pick, could become the starting 'Z' receiver. Sammie Stroughter, who had been starting at that spot, would move inside to his more natural position in the slot if Benn gets promoted.
The Bucs didn't want to start Benn before they thought he was ready, fearing the effects early-season struggles could have on his confidence. We hear the feeling is Benn has a better grasp of the offense than he did at the outset of the regular season.
While he entered the league with high expectations as a second-round pick, Benn lagged behind fourth-round pick WR Mike Williams in training camp and it quickly became clear that Williams, who has made 12 catches in three starts, was more ready to contribute. Benn went without a catch in the first two games before making three for 33 yards in Week Three.
Blount, who was picked up off waivers from the Titans on Sept. 6, made his NFL debut in Week Three and showed head coach Raheem Morris enough to carve out a role for himself as a short-yardage back, we're told.
Starting RB Cadillac Williams had 49 carries in the first two games of the season, but only had six vs. the Steelers. We hear he should see about 15-20 carries per game for the rest of the season. Blount likely will get 5-10 carries per game, spelling Williams for a series or two, and he also could be used in goal-line situations. Blount powered into the endzone vs. the Steelers in Week Three on a one-yard run.
We hear it is not the coaching staff's intent to make RB Kareem Huggins, the preseason standout who hasn't played since being active (but failing to get a carry) in Week One, a ghost for the rest of the season. The Bucs would still like to get Huggins involved in the rotation with Williams and Blount when he is completely recovered from the groin injury that has sidelined him for the past two games. Huggins gained 5.4 yards per carry in the preseason.

Earlier this month, Justin Morneau seemed to hit a roadblock in his comeback attempt. Or maybe not. And earlier this week, Morneau suggested that if he continued to suffer concussion symptoms, he would be forced to retire. Which seems obvious, but for some reason that became a story. At least in the Twin Cities.
To this early point in spring training, though, all signs seem positive. MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger:
Twins first baseman Justin Morneau has been encouraged by his first five days in camp, as he's yet to suffer any setbacks or miss any workouts due to concussion-like symptoms.
For now, Morneau isn't spending his time worrying about suffering another setback because he's been participating in full workouts with the team without any issues.
He's been working out, doing fielding drills at first and taking batting practice. He also took live batting practice against left-hander Francisco Liriano on Tuesday, and fared well, hitting a homer to center field and another deep drive off the fence on his last swing of the afternoon.
He was particularly happy with hitting the homer, considering Liriano was throwing his full arsenal of pitches.
Not so long ago, Justin Morneau was one of the American League's best hitters. It seems almost impossible an innocuous-looking collision at second base could render him ineffective for a season-and-a-half. Now we can only hope this is where it ends.

Trade advice
Pewter Power:
I was offered a trade Jamaal Charles and Colston for Matt Ryan. Do you all think I should pull the trigger? If it helps to know this, this is a standard scoring, auction keeper league.
Here is my team:
QB - Matt Ryan
RB - Chris Johnson
RB - Frank Gore
RB - Steven Jackson
RB - Ben Tate
RB - Andre Brown
RB - Mikel Leshoure
RB - Deangelo Williams
WR - AJ Green
WR - Vincent Jackson
WR - Anquan Boldin
TE - Owen Daniels
K - Rob Bironas
Def - Philadelphia
That's a tough one. Your team looks like it could use some running backs and you already have a fantasy stud in RG3 so I would at least consider it. Trading Colston could leave you a little thin at receiver. My gut says don't do it.
Pewter Power:
I'd receive Colston in the trade, but would end up having to drop someone from my bench
Man that's a tough one. Totally up to you. I'd probably just hang onto Ryan and Colston.

Here are the players who were chosen by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2010 NFL draft.
The agent for Leach says the All-Pro fullback has signed a three-year, $11 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The Houston Texans were hoping to re-sign the 6-foot-2, 255-pound Leach, who was the lead blocker for Arian Foster, the NFL's leading rusher in 2010.||||||| Houston contacted Leach immediately when free agency began, but Leach wanted to test the market after making his first Pro Bowl in 2010. Leach played the last five seasons with the Texans after signing with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent in 2004.
Leach re-signed with the Texans on Monday after they matched an offer sheet he signed with the Giants. The 6-foot, 250-pound fullback originally signed with the Texans last October after he was cut by the Green Bay Packers. He appeared in 11 games with Houston, starting five and was the primary blocker during the last month of the season. Leach set a career high with six catches and caught his first career touchdown.||||||| Leach has played in 34 career games with Green Bay and Houston, starting 10.
Leach signed an offer sheet for a four-year contract with the New York Giants on Monday. The Houston Texans, Leach's current team, have seven days to match the deal, worth more than $7 million. If they don't match, Leach becomes a Giant. "It's a good deal for a fullback," agent Ralph Vitolo said. "The Giants are obviously one of the best organizations in the NFL, they have an excellent quarterback (Eli Manning) and a great offense Vonta could probably excel in."||||||| The 6-0, 250-pound Leach played two seasons with the Packers, appearing in 22 games, but had no rushes for the Packers. He was cut last September by Green Bay and joined the Saints, but soon was cut again and went to the Texans. Leach had six receptions and one touchdown catch for Houston.
Leach was acquired by New Orleans off waivers on Thursday, the second fullback the team has picked up in as many days. The Saints signed Corey McIntyre on Wednesday. New Orleans lost both fulbacks on their Week 1 roster. Leach was waived by Green Bay on Tuesday.||||||| He played 23 games in three seasons for the Packers and started their 26-0 loss to Chicago on Sunday. He should see some time with the Saints although he won't be expected to rush the ball with Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister on the roster.

Academic Support
Writing Center
The Writing Center at Rocky Mountain College, located in Tyler Hall 207, provides one-on-one consulting for student writers across disciplines, assisting them at any stage in the writing process to improve their writing and learning. Students can visit the Writing Center to brainstorm ways of approaching an assignment, read over a rough draft, proofread a draft, ask questions about correct citation methods, create an outline, and address any other concerns. Writing Consultants are prepared to help students from all academic disciplines with sensitivity to the values in those specific disciplines. Our goal – whatever the step in the writing process and whatever the class – is to instill confidence in students as writers so that they develop a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to their education.
Description of Consulting Sessions
Students are the primary agents in writing center sessions. At no point do our consultants write for students. The students, not the consultants, must own their papers and take full responsibility for them. Consultants and students read assignments aloud, develop conversations about these assignments, read drafts aloud, identify strengths in the writing, and collaboratively arrive at writing decisions that are sensitive to professors' goals. Students who come to the Writing Center and expect to passively receive knowledge will not become any closer to their writing and will not improve as writers. We require students' investment, and we're prepared to foster writing improvement.
Meet the Writing Center Consultants, and read student feedback on Writing Center visits.

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment.
Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."
The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.
"I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer."
