If you're into video games but do not want to get stuck with a number of low quality video game titles on your shelves, experts recommend to check out game analysis to obtain an insight whether a game title is a must buy, must try, or a keep away from. Any time a purchased item isn't delivered punctually, try calling that particular merchant and obtain a notion concerning the status of your own order. In the event that the item isn't yet on the process of getting delivered, you can opt to cancel the order and also request for a money back guarantee. Do not be lured by emails concerning websites you might be affiliated or member with that demands you to re-enter your private facts. Even when the email message looks like it's generated from famous sites such as your personal bank or credit card company, never click on the link they've provided. Alternatively, check out their website straightaway. Pressing any of the goods you come across inside our internet site will point you directly towards ebay. Due to the fact that consumers are getting more and more wary when they order online, online criminals are actually attempting to hack into the codes of sophisticated security measures of large businesses to be able to gain access to essential information from their buyers. Read the fine print including the conditions of the sale before you buy online. Some merchandise like garments of the completely wrong size or destroyed goods could be taken back.1
It's common for phishing emails to have links heading towards a genuine look-alike of your respective finance company's main page. Learn about the ways how to realize phishing emails and do not click on any link from these kinds of email messages. Most of the time, sales online with credit cards are recognized immediately. However, some delays are sometimes caused by stores validating the transaction with the card company by hand in an attempt to steer clear of any fake deals. Most online vendors these days really encourage their customers to participate in their own e-mail newsletter. This way, clients are certain to get informed on updates each time especially when there is a great sale going on and as an incentive for their loyal patronage, they might also be given huge discounts at special occasions. If there's an item you want that is up for bid, check if you can obtain the exact same item without having to go through any kind of bidding. When selecting a retail store, it is best to come to terms with only a small number of them since it is a considerable waste of time to surf around each time you desire to buy a new merchandise.

Hicks drove the mile and a quarter and arrived behind the first dozen police officers. She started taking photographs through her windshield and captured her image of a line of children being led away from the slaughter. "I'm conflicted," Hicks said about her photo. "I don't want people to be upset with me, and I do appreciate the journalists, especially, who have commented, saying 'We're just documenting the news.' It's harder when it's in your hometown and these are children we're gonna watch grow up, the ones who made it. I know people are gonna be upset, but at the same time I felt I was doing something important."
Fellow editor John Voket explained what was behind that image. "Police and school system have a protocol" for evacuation. "Children get into a conga line, shoulder to shoulder, and the only person that's allowed to keep their eyes open is the locomotive at the front of the line, usually an adult. And every other kid has to keep their eyes closed from the minute they were exiting the classroom to when they got about a couple hundred yards into the parking lot."
• Voket arrived about 20 minutes later and colleague Hicks "passed the baton" to him. Hicks also is a volunteer firefighter. The firehouse is next to the school. "I literally put on my firefighter gear . . . I was there as a firefighter probably for not even more than 20 minutes before my editor said he wanted me back in the office to work with him to coordinate coverage from there."
• Voket continued reporting, but "We operate a little differently because our job is to take care of the community so we were inside helping to comfort victims and trying to provide human support without necessarily making reporting the No. 1 priority. The publisher came down to comfort some of the families a little later in the day." R. Scudder Smith has been Bee publisher since 1973; he is the fourth member of his family to run The Bee since they founded it in 1877. The paper, which has a full-time editorial staff of eight, circulates to about two-thirds of the community of about 29,000.
• It was Friday and the weekly Bee front page was ready to print. It couldn't be changed. "We've been putting everything on our website," publisher Smith told AP.
Voket added that the traffic surge repeatedly crashed the website until the Bee acquired "an intermediary service to supersize our bandwidth . . . We got back up and running this (Saturday) morning." The staff used social media to spread information about school lockdowns, re-routed traffic, and grief counseling. "Facebook and Twitter accounts have been a lifeline to our community and it shows because 20 percent of the community are following us." The Bee also was "looking at doing a special extra to be on the newsstands Monday."
• For those of us outside Newtown, Conn., we can turn to the renewed duel over gun control. If it were a song, tired and familiar gun control lyrics would be among "Worst Hits Ever." It didn't take long for gun control advocates to embrace the Sandy Hook massacre and the bellicose NRA to opt for rare silence. Obama renewed his unredeemed calls for gun control although he and Mitt Romney dodged the issue in the just-ended campaign. It was a hornets' nest neither man opted to kick and reporters apparently were unable to raise with the candidates.
• After the Sandy Hook slaughter, fair and balanced Fox News banned discussion of gun control from the cable network. Maybe Fox News feared we really would decide if they really reported. New York magazine said the ban spotlights the "growing chasm between Rupert Murdoch and [Fox News president] Roger Ailes." Ailes reportedly is a gun enthusiast. Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., which owns Fox News, had tweeted a call for stricter gun control, imploring for "some bold leadership action" from Obama.
• Let me be churlish when everyone else is sympathizing with families, survivors and first responders. Slaughtering 20 children is awful, but reporters and editors are familiar with how badly Americans treat urban, suburban, small town and rural children every day. In Obama's Chicago and many other urban areas, gunfire is an omnipresent fact of childhood. Possibly one-fourth of all American children live in poverty as defined by federal guidelines. For these kids, federally funded school meals might be more than a complement to home meals. Health care for poor and malnourished children isn't much better than their educations. Medicaid is among the anti-poverty programs high on the GOP priorities for absolute cuts and/or reduced annual increases. And let's not even get into continuing coverage of physical and sexual child abuse, trafficking minors and lifelong handicaps from poor or nonexistent prenatal care or maternal drug and alcohol abuse.
• Only foolish or ignorant reporters credit pious assertions that legislation can prevent disturbed individuals from obtaining guns and killing as many people as they can. There are more than 310 million people in this country. Some are or will become seriously mentally disturbed and obtain one or more of the hundreds of millions of firearms Americans own. A Columbine or Sandy Hook could happen again any day.
• Focusing on the shooting victims rather than shooters might reduce any copycat effect. Stories and photos elevating killers to celebrity have been blamed for further rampages. Even though the killer never was identified, that was the inference drawn from Tylenol poisonings 30 years ago; copycats tried to poison Tylenol capsules. When coverage began to fade, so did copycat crimes.
• NRA leaders realized years ago that traditional (and valuable) Eddie Eagle gun safety comics and courses were insufficient to motivate and keep members and their dues. Fear and anger would be more effective. Real and imagined government controls became NRA's cause. Few modern American movements have been as durable and effective as the NRA.
• NRA is powerful because we are a democracy. It can mobilize more than 4 million members and fellow travelers as voters, donors and voices in the news media. Elected representatives who want to keep their jobs quite reasonably try to avoid the NRA's opposition. Gun control advocates evince nothing like this single-minded devotion to their cause.
• In 1994, the Clinton administration won a10-year limit on the sale of assault-style weapons and large capacity magazines for their ammunition. I went to a gun store in Hamilton to cover a rush to beat the ban. Chinese assault-style rifles and curved high-capacity magazines were selling as fast as staff could pry open crates. As I watched, the price rose $10 with each new crate: demand and supply. Men who talked to me said they were buying because of the imminent controls on assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines. A few admitted fear of civil unrest or some undefined federal assault. Most said they wanted a military-style rifle for shooting targets or empty beer cans and this might be their last chance.That 10-year ban died in 2004 when Republicans owned all three branches of federal government and didn't seek renewal. However, recent killings that required assault-style weapons with large-capacity magazines might prompt reconsideration of the ban. Adam Lanza reportedly carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition in high-capacity magazines. No one knows why he didn't use them.
• Any gun control measure that's not DOA will have to respect millions of long guns — rifles and shotguns — used by hunters, farmers and others. That distinction is an important part of this story already handicapped by the paucity of journalists who hunt or otherwise own firearms.
• In addition to an unfamiliarity with firearms, partisan hyperbole also handicaps writing about guns and gun control. It can be hard to find neutral sources who share reporters' interest in accurate coverage. Stenographic reporting giving "both sides" isn't good enough; journalists must know enough to challenge obvious partisan misstatements. We are not obligated to report what we know to be untrue or to label it as such.
• Unfamiliarity with gun control cropped up in a recent Enquirer story about a failed armed robbery attempt inside a suburban Sunoco station. Employees with a handgun and a shotgun fatally wounded the would-be bandit. The Enquirer story said it was unclear whether the employees had conceal-carry licenses for those firearms. Unless someone somehow cloaked a shotgun's 18-28" barrel, no conceal/carry permit is required. Unless the other Sunoco clerk carried the pistol under his clothes, he didn't need a permit. Wearing it openly or storing it under the counter does not require a conceal/carry permit. So what was the point of that line in the story? Just because a cop might have said it doesn't mean the reporter had to share it. That's what I'm talking about.
• Missing in much gun control coverage is Congress' inability to craft sensible, workable bipartisan gun control specifics that can survive NRA opposition and Supreme Court scrutiny. Firearm confiscation is out of the question. So is universal registration which raises NRA-orchestrated fear of confiscation — by ATF, the UN or some other demon de jour — to hysteria. Moreover, the court affirmed an individual Second Amendment right to own guns in 2010 but it did not rule out federal, state or local regulations governing firearm use.
• Reporters faced with new rage over shootings should remind partisans that we have gun control already. Forty nine states issue conceal/carry permits but specify where those handguns may not be carried. Illinois — State No. 50 — is under court order to replace its ban with a conceal/carry permit system. Many if not most municipalities bar gun owners from firing their weapons within city limits with the exception of self-defense. States commonly limit when hunters can use rifles and/or shotguns and they can require a certain size bullet for large-game hunting. Landowners may bar hunters from their property during state-sanctioned hunting seasons.
There are federal limits on how short a "sawed off" shotgun or rifle barrel may be. There are laws limiting ownership of silencers and fully automatic machine guns and submachine guns. Federally licensed firearms dealers must run background checks on prospective buyers and turn away those who fail or won't comply. Dealers can deny convicted felons a gun under federal and many state laws. A legal purchaser may not buy a firearm for someone who would fail a federal background check. Mentally-ill customers can be turned away by dealers.
• Few of the roughly 12,000 Americans shot to death annually are killed with shot with shotguns or rifles. They're shot with pistols. So when gun control is promoted, reporters should press advocates to say what they mean: handguns.
• Before reporters share the lunacy of arming teachers, ask local cops how many rounds typically are fired from their handguns in an armed encounter . . . and how many of those bullets hit their target. Not many. It's very, very difficult for someone trained even at the level of police to accurately fire when adrenaline is pumping. The teacher might end up shooting more students than the intruder. Better to count on the low probability of an armed intrusion. Think about how rare this is. Awful when it happens, but very, very rare, even in communities where other shootings are far more frequent.

A City Council committee approved $13.5 million that will be going to Over-the-Rhine development. Of that money, $6 million will go to the second phase of the Mercer Commons project, which is being developed by Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC). The rest will help 3CDC redevelop 18 different buildings that are mostly around Washington Park. City Council will vote on the funding today.
Cincinnati's unemployment rate dropped to 6.9 percent, but the drop was mostly attributed to people leaving the labor force. Between September 2011 and September 2012, Cincinnati's labor force has actually shrunk. Still, more people were employed in September 2012 than were employed in September 2011.
The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority is asking Cincinnati for $8.5 million to secure a Jordan Crossing shopping center project at Bond Hill. The funds would pay for the demolition, site preparation, marketing and redevelopment of the project.
In the second wave of interim results from an ongoing investigation into Ohio schools' attendance data reporting, State Auditor Dave Yost found no evidence of attendance scrubbing in schools with levies on the 2012 ballot. The investigation included Cincinnati Public Schools, which means CPS was found to be clean. In a statement, Yost said, "I'm surprised and pleased. To have zero incidents of 'scrubbing' is encouraging news." The full findings for both interim reports can be found here.Clifton is set to get a neighborhood grocery store soon. The neighborhood has been without one since January 2011. City Council's Budget and Finance Committee helped spur the new project with a tax abatement program.
The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners held a budget hearing yesterday, but not much new information came out. Board President Greg Hartmann insists public safety is a priority, but he says the sheriff's office will have to deal with some across-the-board cuts. The cuts won't include closing the jail, decreasing courtroom security or eliminating contracts with townships for patrols. The board has two more public meetings on Oct. 29 and 30.
The controversial billboards accused of attempting to suppress voters are being taken down by Norton Outdoor Advertising, the Cincinnati company that hosted the billboards. Meanwhile, P.G. Sittenfeld and Lamar Advertising Company, a different billboard company, are putting up 10 billboards that read, "Hey Cincinnati, voting is a right not a crime!" The new billboards are supposed to encourage voting.
The University of Cincinnati has a new president: Santa Ono. The official promotion was unanimously approved by the UC Board of Trustees. Ono has been serving as interim president since Aug. 21, when former President Greg Williams suddenly resigned due to "personal reasons."
The Cincinnati Enquirer is being accused of age discrimination in a recently amended lawsuit. In the lawsuit, eight former employees claim they were fired and replaced with younger, less qualified employees.
A new rumor is going around that says it's possible to tamper with voting results, but fact checkers and election officials are saying it's not possible. The rumors started due to the Romneys' investments in an electronic voting company.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Here is a list of some of the department's accomplishments: The amount of rivers meeting aquatic life standards went from 21 to 89 percent between the 1980s and today, carbon monoxide in the air is down 80 percent since the 1970s, sulfur dioxide is down 71 percent, lead is down 95 percent and 99 percent of community public water systems now meet health standards, up from 85 percent in 1993.
Miami University says it will discipline two students responsible for putting up an offensive flyer about getting away with rape in a coed dorm bathroom.
Metro revealed its plans for an Uptown Transit District. The district, which will cost Metro $6.9 million, is meant to better suit the needs and growth of Uptown.
Two Democratic state lawmakers are planning legislation to slow down the privatization of the Ohio Turnpike. Gov. John Kasich's administration is currently paying $3.4 million to KPMG, a private consulting and accounting firm, to study whether leasing the turnpike to the highest private bidder would benefit the state. Kasich says he could use the money saved for transportation projects all around the state. But northern Ohio residents do not seem happy with giving up a valuable asset they helped invest in, especially if the revenue from the Ohio Turnpike goes to regions outside of northern Ohio.
There's more evidence sushi sucks. Popular Science has an article and graph showing how raw food kept primates stupid.
Ohio Democrats are moving to sue the state if it continues blocking access to texts from State Board of Education President Debe Terhar, a Republican from Cincinnati. The school board leader has been facing criticism for making a Facebook post that compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler. The post was a picture with the caption, "Never forget what this tyrant said: 'To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.' — Adolf Hitler." There is no historical evidence Hitler made that quote.
Despite ongoing litigation questioning its constitutionality, JobsOhio intends to move ahead with plans to sell liquor-backed bonds. The Supreme Court agreed to take up ProgressOhio's challenge of JobsOhio last week. JobsOhio is a nonprofit private agency set up by Gov. John Kasich to drive economic growth, but bipartisan questions have surrounded its legality and constitutionality since its conception.
Hamilton County Board of Commissioners President Chris Monzel wants to change the county's mission statement. His proposed changes would remove references to equity and add conservative language about the county government living within its means. The county is already required to balance its budget.
Ohio State University expects to save nearly $1 million a year due to wind power. The university signed a 20-year agreement in October to buy 50 megawatts annually from Blue Creek Wind Farm, the state's largest commercial wind farm.
The city of Cincinnati is tearing down hundreds of blighted houses. The demolitions, which are being funded by a grant, are meant to make neighborhoods safer.
A Cleveland man was the first to benefit from a law that expedites payouts to those who were wrongfully imprisoned. After being imprisoned for 16 years, Darrell Houston will receive a partial judgment of nearly $380,000.
The Ohio Department of Transportation is looking at removing 34 positions. One of the potentially affected jobs is a counselor position that helped apprehend a man suspected of kidnapping two teenaged girls.
Ohio may soon require the replacement of old license plates.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority is assisting eleven companies in investing more than $51 million across Ohio. In Hamilton County, Jedson Engineering will spend an additional $2.8 million to create 30 full-time jobs.
StateImpact Ohio has an in-depth look at Nate DeRolph, one of the leaders in school funding equality.
A new gun shoots criminals with DNA tags, which lets cops return to a suspect during less confrontational times. The guns will be particularly useful during riots, when attempting an arrest can result in injuries.
For the third year in a row, Ohio has dropped in Education Week's annual ranks. The news comes despite the state slightly bumping up its grade from 79.5 percent to 79.6 percent. The state was ranked No. 12, down from No. 11 in 2012 and No. 10 in 2011.
Ohio did best in standards, assessments and accountability, where it got a 96.1 percent, or an A. It did worst in K-12 achievement, which measures student progress and equality, with a 71.2 percent, or a C-.
The only major category in which Ohio performed below the U.S. average was transitions and alignment, which gauges state standards for preparing Ohio students for moving from kindergarten to elementary school to middle school to high school to college. In the category, Ohio got a 78.6 percent, or C+, while the national average is 81.1 percent.
Maryland was ranked No. 1 for the fifth year in a row with an 87.5 percent, or a B.
"We're pleased to be rated No. 12 in the nation … but our overall score of a B- reassures us what we already know: We can do a better job of educating Ohio's children and preparing them for future success," said John Charlton, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Education.
Charlton says the state is taking steps to make improvements, particularly in the transitions and alignment category. Ohio has already adopted the Common Core standards and is replacing the state's standardized tests with new assessments, which CityBeat covered here.
Ohio colleges and universities have also adopted uniform remediation-free standards, which Charlton says will make it easier to prepare students for college. Remedial courses are classes that don't count toward college credit; they're typically required for students who are under-prepared in certain subjects, particularly English, math and science.
But some have pushed back toward the Republican-supported education initiatives. The Third Grade Reading Guarantee, which forces schools to hold back third-grade students who are not proficient in reading, has faced a lot of criticism from Democrats and education experts. Research shows holding kids back hurts more than helps. After reviewing decades of research, the National Association of School Psychologists found grade retention has "deleterious long-term effects," both academically and socially.
Gov. John Kasich vowed to rework Ohio's school funding formula in the 2014-2015 budget. In a previous interview, Rob Nichols, spokesperson to Kasich, said it was a big undertaking: "Many governors have tried before. Many states have been sued over their formulas. It's something we have to take our time with and get it done right."
Gov. John Kasich's school funding plan may not be so progressive after all. In his initial announcement, Kasich promised the program will be more progressive by raising funding to poorer schools, but this fact from StateImpact Ohio seems to contradict that claim: "Under the projections released by the state, a suburban district like Olentangy that has about $192,000 of property value per student would get a more than three-fold increase in state funding. Meanwhile, Noble Local, a small rural district with about $164,000 of property wealth per student sees no increase in state funding." The Toledo Blade found Kasich's education plan favors suburban schools. The Akron Beacon Journal pulled numbers that show rich, growing school districts will do fine under the plan. According to The Columbus Dispatch, 60 percent of Ohio schools will not see increases in funding from Kasich's plan.
The Ohio Department of Transportation is now shying away from statutory guarantees for northern Ohio in the Ohio Turnpike plan. Originally, Kasich promised 90 percent of Ohio Turnpike funds will remain in northern Ohio, albeit with a fairly vague definition of northern Ohio. Now, even that vague 90 percent doesn't seem to be sticking around. But the plan would still be a massive job-creating infrastructure initiative for the entire state. The Ohio Turnpike runs along northern Ohio, so changes to fees and the road affect people living north the most.
WLWT published a thinly veiled criticism of local teacher
salaries. The article pointed out Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) pays
45 of its employees more than $100,000 a year.
Of those people, 42 are administrators and three are teachers. In
comparison, the highest paid Cleveland school teacher makes $86,000. The
article also glances over the fact CPS is "the number one urban-rated
school district in the state" to point out the school district is still
lacking in a few categories. As CPS Board President Eileen Reed points
out, a school district needs to attract better educators with higher
salaries if it wants to improve. Paying teachers less because the school
district is performing worse would only put schools in a downward
spiral as hiring standards drop alongside the quality of education.
County commissioners seem supportive of Kasich's budget. Republican commissioners Chris Monzel and Greg Hartmann said the budget could be "revolutionary" by changing how county governments work. Democratic Commissioner Todd Portune highlighted the Medicaid expansion in the budget. As "revolutionary" as the budget could be, it's not enough to make up for Ohio and Kasich's troubled past.

One courageous grandma stood up to an anti-gay pastor. During a sermon, the pastor outed a gay high school student and told everyone they would "work together to address this problem of homosexuality." At that point, the grandma snapped at the pastor, "There are a lot of problems here, and him being gay is not one of them." She then apologized to the boy and walked out.

DAYTON – Vice President Joe Biden took time at the beginning of his Wednesday campaign stop in Dayton to condemn an overnight attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, while praising the work and courage of American diplomats and promising to bring to justice those who carried out the attack.
"(This) brave — and it's not hyperbole to say brave –— ambassador was in Benghazi while the war was going on. Our ambassador risked his life repeatedly while the war in Libya to get rid of that dictator was going on," Biden said.
"These men are as brave and as courageous as any of our warriors."
The Tuesday attack took place during a protest against an amateur short film made in the United States that protesters say insulted the Prophet Muhammad. U.S Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his staff members were killed.
"Let me be clear — we are resolved to bring to justice their killers," Biden said.
The vice president made no mention of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's criticism of the Obama administration's response from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which he characterized as "akin to an apology" and a "severe miscalculation," but the vice president quickly segued into politics, alluding to Romney's relative lack of experience in foreign policy.
"The task of a president is not only to defend our interests and causes and the cause of freedom abroad, it is also to build a nation here at home, to which the entire world can look and aspire to be like," Biden said. "Whether we do that and how we do that, that is literally the essence of the choice we face in this presidential election. It really is that basic, and foreign policy is not some sideline to all of this."
The Romney campaign in Ohio was quick to respond, calling Biden's remarks "hypocritical" in an emailed statement.
"Vice President Biden's appearance in Dayton only served further damage to his credibility as he reprised hypocritical and widely debunked attacks against Mitt Romney. Not only did the Vice President mislead Ohioans, but he attacked Mitt Romney for supporting the same tax policy the Obama Administration supported just last year," Romney Ohio spokesman Christopher Maloney wrote.
"With today's Census report showing nearly 1 in 6 Americans living in poverty and incomes continuing to decline, it appears that misleading attacks are all the Obama campaign has left to offer 400,000 Ohioans looking for work."
Maloney's email also fact-checked a claim made by Biden during his speech. Biden said that he opposed the so-called "territorial tax," which he said would allow American companies that invested abroad to avoid paying taxes in the United States.
The email included links to an Associated Press fact checking article that concludes that Romney's proposal was aimed at encouraging investment in the U.S. rather than overseas.
Biden spoke to a packed house at Wright State University in Dayton, with overflow crowds estimated in the hundreds viewing in separate rooms in the Student Union.
The vice president reiterated many of his usual stump speech points — the Romney tax plan's negative effects on the middle class, the benefits of the Affordable Care Act and the Obama administration's commitment to manufacturing — but much of Biden's speech focused on education. He said a president Romney would cut funding for Pell Grants, meaning many students in the audience would have to leave school. He also lauded President Barack Obama's administration's enactment of a tax break of $2,500 for every family that sends a child to college.
The usually bombastic Biden wasn't without his gaffes. Twice he referred to Wright State as "Wayne State," which is in Detroit, despite a large Wright State University banner displayed in the conference room where he gave his speech.
The crowd was quick to correct him after the second time he misspoke.
"Wright State, which also includes Wayne State," Biden said after he was corrected, eliciting laughs from the audience.
A new analysis suggests that tax revenue from Ohio's new casinos will not be enough to make up for state spending cuts to cities and counties. The findings of the Oct. 1 analysis, by left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio, apply even to casinos and big cities that get extra casino tax revenue. They still lose twice in state aid what they get in new taxes, according to the report.
Overall, the analysis found that new casino revenue will provide $227 million a year to counties and cities. In total, state aid to counties and cities has been cut by about $1 billion. That means the tax revenue isn't even one quarter of what cities and counties will need to make up for cuts.
The cuts also won't be enough to make up for state cuts to schools. When casino plans propped up around the state, governments promised that revenue from casinos would be used to build up schools. However, state aid to K-12 education has been cut by $1.8 billion, and new tax revenue will only make up 0.5 to 1.5 percent of those cuts in most school districts, according to the Policy Matters report.
In 2013, Cincinnati will become the fourth Ohio city with a casino. Cleveland and Toledo have casinos, and a new casino opened in Columbus Oct. 8.
Currently, the system is set up so each casino is taxed at 33 percent of gross revenues. That revenue is split into many pieces with approximately 34 percent going to the school fund. Each city with a casino also gets an exclusive 5 percent of its casino's revenue.
For Cincinnati, that means about $12.1 million in new annual tax revenue. But even with that revenue, Cincinnati will still be losing about $17.7 million in state funding, according to calculations from Policy Matters.
In past interviews, Rob Nichols, spokesperson for Gov. John Kasich, has repeatedly cited the constitutional requirement to balance Ohio's budget to defend any state budget cuts: "The reality is we walked into an $8 billion budget deficit. We had to fix that."
Cuts Hurt Ohio, a website showing cuts to state aid, was launched by Policy Matters earlier this year. That website found $2.88 billion in cuts to state aid with $1.8 billion in cuts to education and $1.08 billion in cuts to local governments. In Hamilton County, that translated to a $136 million cut to education and a $105 million cut to local government.
The report does caution that its findings are "necessarily tentative": "Projected revenues have come down significantly since the 2009 campaign for the casino proposal, and the expected opening of numerous gambling facilities makes it hard to be sure what revenues will be. We estimate casino tax revenue based on several sources, including state agencies, casino operators, and former taxation department analyst Mike Sobul. Our numbers reflect a comparatively optimistic assessment."
Mayor Mark Mallory announced a trade deal between the small Greater Cincinnati-based Solutions Plus, Inc. and the giant Saudi Arabia-based Diversified Lines Petroleum Company. The deal will produce $20 million in business in the next two to five years, said Solutions Plus President Charlie Weaver. The deal is largely due to a trade mission to Saudi Arabia Mallory led in January.
The Cincinnati streetcar project is moving forward. On Wednesday, City Council will be voting on a routine ordinance to transfer $3 million to the streetcar project.
Cincinnati is studying the feasibility of a bike share program. If enacted, the program would begin next summer in Over-the-Rhine and Uptown.
Kings Island is taking down the Son of Beast. The attraction, which was originally advertised as the only wooden roller coaster with a loop, has been closed since 2009 due to a series of problems.
Gov. John Kasich announced the approval of 25 new economic projects by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority. The approval should pave the way to 2,003 new jobs and $212 million in investment in Ohio, according to the announcement. Three of the projects will be in the city of Cincinnati: Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Southern Air Incorporated and Corbus, LLC.
Kasich wants answers. Yesterday, the governor gave his opinion on the ongoing investigation into the Ohio Department of Education and Ohio schools for fraudulent data reporting. Kasich said both schools and the Ohio Department of Education should be held accountable if necessary.

The Plymouth Valiant was never meant to be a muscle car. It was never meant
to be fast, overly attractive or go around corners. Loved by grandparents

wanted smooth reliable transport. Owner Shannon Hudson bought this Valiant
for $400.00 and after 20 years of ownership and a few different versions,
built it into one of the coolest MOPAR A Bodies we've ever seen.

Adopt a family-minded mentality.
The era of hiding a family portrait in one's office desk drawer—rather than proudly displaying it on a desktop—is quickly fading. As gay workers with spouses and children become more willing to talk about their families to colleagues, companies have an added responsibility to ensure a supportive atmosphere.
In 1992, Levi Strauss became the first Fortune 500 company to extend partner benefits to its LGBT employees, and it has since kept pace with progressive policies in the apparel world and beyond. Levi's offers each of its 10,000 employees a $3,000 credit per child toward eligible adoption expenses as well as a backup child care program that employees can use if they have difficulties making their own arrangements. "While we can't put a number on it, we hear from recruiters that this commitment makes a huge difference for potential employees," a company spokeswoman says.
Credit Suisse offers two programs for new mothers and fathers—gay or straight—in which participants discuss issues like family leave time, parenting, adoption, and child care options. Credit Suisse's goal is to have all employees go through LGBT-focused trainings by the end of next year, says Todd Sears, Credit Suisse's director of diversity and inclusion. "I think that's one of the best ways I've seen to make sure that the corporate policies translate directly into corporate actions and an inclusive culture."

Once home to the celebrated Hoosier poet, the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home welcomes visitors into a world of stunning turn-of-the-century splendor. The elegant Victorian revival house hosts informative tours that guide guests through the home of the man who gave the world Little Orphan Annie and the Raggedy Man.
1930 was a watershed year in the effort to preserve Indiana's state history. For starters, it was the year Julia Meek Gaar donated her personal effects to the Wayne County, Indiana Historical Society. That would have been enough to celebrate on its own, but then the Whitewater Monthly Meeting of Friends donated their historical Friends Meeting House as well. In the decades following those two gifts, local residents have filled out the Wayne County Historical Museum's exhibition halls with their own contributions, both small and large. When viewed together, these gifts paint a vivid picture of Wayne County from the pioneer era through contemporary times.
The museum itself consists of eight buildings, the most impressive of which is a log schoolhouse built in the early 19th century. These buildings house hundreds of artifacts from the museum's permanent collection, including everything from a 3,000-year-old mummy to a restored 1922 Pilot Speedster. More vintage rides grace the museum lawn during cruise-ins?just one example of the many events held here throughout the year. Others include a heritage festival and a haunted-house night, during which the aforementioned mummy comes to life and stalks visitors.
Every time the Darke County Historical Society unearths a new finding, there's a good chance that the public's first look at it will come in the exhibition halls of Greenville's Garst Museum. More than 300,000 American artifacts fill the museum's six wings, many of which were discovered—or rediscovered, as the case may be—over the course of the society's archeological digs, genealogical research, and historic preservation activities.
Among the century-spanning exhibits, the softer side of sharpshooter Annie Oakley unfolds in the Coppock Wing, and antique cannonballs and Humvees speak of the wartime exploits of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. Down on the first floor, a painting of Chief Tarhe, Grand Sachem of the Wyandots, presides over a collection that focuses on America during the 1700s but leaves room for anachronistic elements such as mastodon bones. The newest exhibit, "Diversity in Darke County: The Story of Longtown," celebrates local history with its visual chronicle of a tri-racial settlement in Greenville.
Aside from the main two-story brick Colonial home—which was built as an inn in 1852, according to Touring Ohio—the society and the museum maintain several properties of historic note. A free, self-guided tour of Bear's Mill and its 800-foot water channel can be capped with a cup of gourmet coffee, and the Lowell Thomas house provides insights into the childhood of the broadcaster and adventurer who once famously dined with the Prince of Wales inside an actual whale.
Crestwoods Frame Shop and Gallery protects clients' cherished paintings and possessions and displays work from celebrated local and regional artists. The studio boasts more than 2,500 types of frames, paired with acid-free archival materials and UV glass to reduce fading. The staff also restores old photographs and provides crisp, professional digital printing services.
More than 50 years old and 8,500 members strong, the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) strives to promote percussion through education, research, and performances across the world. To carry out this mission, the organization includes more than 50 chapters in the US and 28 chapters abroad, all of which communicate online via resources such as lessons, free practice exercises, and annual events. Each year PAS hosts the annual Percussive Arts Society International Convention—the largest of its kind in the world—in which exhibitors convene to showcase the newest developments in percussion technology, instruments, and publications. The convention also includes over 120 clinics and performances with lauded artists covering all genres and styles of music.
The staff at Art of the Soul encourages an inner examination of the self through artistic expression. Creative Spirit classes grant students three hours of freedom to delve into the process of creating art without the constraints of a specified media and models that refuse to pose in fruit baskets. During each course, artists adorn surfaces such as canvas, fiber, and metal work with eco-friendly materials to visually interpret the workings of the subconscious, and Picassos can take home their finished masterpiece after class. The program's only goal is to inspire personal expression and build upon a love of art and a penchant for wearing smocks.

I am planning a trip to Chicago Dec 30 - Jan 3 just to have a change of scenery on New Year's Eve. I have been to Chicago a few times and been to the museums and shopping. Is there anything special happening during this time besides the After Christmas Sales? Or any special NYE happenings? I am thinking Times Square type events rather that parties, etc. Also are there any things that will be closed that I should think about?
Thank you for your help.
Chicago getaway for New Years
I am planning a trip to Chicago Dec 30 - Jan 3 just to have a change of scenery on New Year's Eve. I have been to Chicago a few times and been to the museums and shopping. Is there anything special happening during this time besides the After Christmas Sales? Or any special NYE happenings? I am thinking Times Square type events rather that parties, etc. Also are there any things that will be closed that I should think about?

Navy Pier Ballroom does something for new years.. as do most of the hotels downtown.
As for other things to do - ice skating in millennium park, Christakindlmarket in Daley Plaza
Report Abuse
Most of the hotels downtown do something special for NYE. I believe Christkindlemarket closes on Dec. 24.
Nothing should be closed except on New Year's Day and Christmas. The nice hotels will have events though.
A lot of people gather downtown and on Navy Pier.
It will be cold as anti-hell, but you probably know that, .
The store window displays should still be up on State St and Michigan Ave.
I would stay on near north side, by Navy Pier and Gold Coast, as opposed to downtown and "the Loop", as the Loop always closes up early, holidays or no. On the near north side, you're also close to the lively neighborhoods on the north side like Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, etc. where there are many, may restaurants and bars, music clubs, etc.
Report Abuse
Btw, the cold weather won't keep the natives from going out and partying/shopping/eating - you'll have plenty of company and things to do.
Report Abuse
Thank you for the suggestions.
BumbleB6 - I have already booked the Palmer House but that is close enough to Michigan Ave that I am good. Two years ago I was in the Loop area later in the day and you are right. I think that they roll up the sidewalks. I was also there a few years back during a snow storm. Cold does not begin to tell the story.
Report Abuse
There's an old saying -there is no such thing as bad weather - just bad clothing choices. This applies to Chicago in early January, . You didn't say where you're from, but remember to bring a warm hat, very warm, thick gloves and lightweight long underwear if you have them, and warm socks and shoes. Cabs aren't too frequent after work hours in the Loop, if I remember correctly, so if you have to hoof it partway to Navy Pier or elsewhere, you'll be warm enough. Or if you have to stand for more than a few minutes on the el platform.
I'd think cabs would patrol the front of Palmer House though even after hours and especially on the holidays and NYE.
Palmer House is close enough to Navy Pier that you could easily walk it, if, by chance, we get another warm winter. Seems it's always cold on NYE though, it's like the weather knows you want to be out and about, lol.
Report Abuse
You'll also be close to the Chicago theater (I think they renamed it but can't remember what now, sorry..) on State St. and the Congress Auditorium is not far, either, if you want to catch a show. In fact, there are little local theaters all over the near north and north side (maybe other areas too but north side is where I used to live.)
Be sure to stroll by Millennium Park if it's not too cold - there's an ice-skating rink by "the Bean" - which is officially called Cloudgate.
Berghoff restaurant in the Loop is a historical landmark, and I hear they have good food (I'm vegetarian and there's not much there for veggies, so I've not eaten there in years, but everyone, even locals, raves about it so it must be good.) Italian Villa is another good place to eat. The cheapest tier is in the basement, and the most expensive on top floor. Greektown is a very short cab ride away, and most of the places there are very good. I personally think the eateries at Navy Pier are skippable, as they're mostly chains, but it can be kinda fun to eat at Bubba Gump's if you're with the right crowd...
Have fun! Now I want to go to Chcago for NYE! I'm in the 'burbs and we usually stay home with maybe a few guests over and watch the festivities on tv.
Report Abuse
Bumble B6, Thank you again. I am from MI so I am no stranger to cold. Berghoff's is very good. It has been years since I have been there. I missed it the last time I was to Chicago. Last time I was in Chicago it was fall. They were just setting up the ice rink in Millennium Park. I remember another rink, years ago, somewhere in the Loop area. I am sure that it had been moved to the park.
The last 5 years I have NYE with my Dad and now I think it is time for my sibling to step up so I am leaving town. Personally, your evening sounds like fun to me but I just need a change. Enjoy your holiday season.
Report Abuse
You can do a dinner cruise and watch the fireworks on Navy Pier from the boats.
Report Abuse
Just chiming in to endorse the Berghoff and to hopefully see your trip report next January.
I haven't used them (to my knowledge) but there is a Pedway system that may help you avoid some of the elements, depending on where you are going.

Cardinals' Peterson picks at Seahawks CB Sherman
"I don't want to get in a debate as far as stats that he has and things like that," Peterson told KMVP-FM. "Obviously, his job is definitely much easier than mine. But if you look at their scheme and at our scheme, he's a Cover 3 corner. Period.
"A lot of guys say he's a shutdown corner. But if you look at film and guys who understand the game, go back and look at film and see how his defense is. I believe that if you put him in our system, I don't believe he'll be able to last, honestly. Because I actually do much more than he is (doing)."
Based on interceptions during the past three seasons, Sherman has a decided advantage with 20 compared with Peterson's 12. Peterson contends that Seattle's defensive schemes put Sherman in position for more picks.
"I guess that's what the fans -- and everything like that -- they see he's got tons and tons of interceptions," Peterson said. "And that's all fine and dandy, but he's only covering space. He's not really covering a guy.
"So at the end of the day, he has great stats. He has great playmaking ability -- not taking that away from him, because he is a good corner. But as far as being a shutdown corner, man-to-man guy, in my eyes, I don't believe he's that."
Petersen, a two-time All-Pro as a cornerback and punt returner, believes he is worth more than the $57.4 million extension, including $40 million guaranteed, that Sherman signed on May 12, making him the league's highest-paid defensive back. In terms of tackles, Peterson has the advantage with 151 solos to Sherman's 138.
Sherman responded later in the day on Twitter: "@PFF_Pete this kid gave up as many Tds this year as I have in my career. He wouldn't last in our system bcuz he gives up too many Tds"

WFN's Top Catches: Ted Williams' Bat Rod, Grizzly Attack, Laser Sharks!
Spring is in the air, and winter has officially left the building (but did it ever really arrive?). And WFN's Top Catches is here to once again provide you with some wild and interesting tales!
Ear Ye, Ear Ye
Listen up! Scientists are constantly learning new things about fish, but this is a story that you'll have to HEAR to believe. By studying the earbones of trout, a team of researchers have gained valuable insight into their lifetime movements. The data they have recorded thus far will allow biologists to "investigate non-native species invasions, identify important populations, and quantify life histories of freshwater fishes in river networks." With all of the research being conducted, it really makes you wonder if these trouts' ears are burning!
This Story Bears Repeating
It goes without saying that bear hunting is dangerous activity, even on the best day. But an Alaskan hunter recently found out the hard way that, in addition to being dangerous, it can also be very foolhardy. After fatally shooting a grizzly bear, Rod Moretz was approaching his kill when another grizzly came out of a nearby den and pounced on him. They rolled down a hill together, and luckily for Moretz, the fall disoriented the bear, which ran off. Moretz suffered nothing more than "minor scalp lacerations," and after getting bandaged up by his 13-year-old son, he skinned his kill and went on his way. Talking about being able to grin and bear it!
Batter Up!
Ted Williams is one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived, but he was also an avid angler (he was even inducted into the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame). Recently, an online auction posted a very unique item: a baseball bat/fishing rod hybrid that was custom made for Williams. The item ended up selling for $1600.00, and while its effectiveness is up for debate, there's no doubt that this is one of the more unique rods that you'll ever see.
Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams!
We all remember the scene in Austin Powers when the villain, Dr. Evil, laments over the fact that he is unable to acquire sharks that have laser beams attached to their heads. It's a very silly scene in a very silly movie. But one marine biologist has done the unthinkable and attached a 50mW laser to the fin of a lemon shark. The reason? To test out a specific type of clamp, that supposedly causes no discomfort to the shark. Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Two tries on debut is not a bad way to mark your first appearance for your new club.
Chris Elder did just that in last Saturday's win at Henley and now the London Welsh full back is eagerly looking forward to Wasps on Sunday.
Elder, who joined the Exiles in the summer from Plymouth Albion, seized his opportunity to lay down an early season marker with a try in either half in Welsh's 64-0 win over the Hawks at Dry Leas.
However, compared to his Plymouth debut, when he scored three tries and five conversions in a 55-14 win over Exmouth, it wasn't anything to get overly excited about.
"It's always pleasing to get across the whitewash, but some of the other boys got in among the tries, so I wasn't the only one," said Elder, whose performances for Albion last season brought him to head coach Justin Burnell's attention.
Most notably, Elder crossed for Plymouth in their victory over Welsh at Brickfields in January.
"I think London Welsh were a bit shocked that day," he recalled.
"That was one of our best performances down at Plymouth. It was nice to be involved in it, but I think the London Welsh boys want to forget about that one."
The England Under 18 international, who helped Esher to a second place finish in National League 1 before joining Esher in 2013, is now settling in to life well at London Welsh.
"Everyone's really inviting and obviously with a lot of new guys everyone's trying to find their own place as well. There's a good team spirit and I'm loving it," said Elder, who came through the academy at Wasps.
"We're all looking forward to the Wasps game this week. It should give us an idea as to where we need to be for the start of the season.
"There's definitely things to work on from the game, both personally and as a team, but it was great to come away with 64 points and to keep Henley off the scoresheet."
