Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is
preparing to replace running mate Eric Kearney, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Kearney, a state senator from Cincinnati, has been under increasing
pressure to drop out of the race following multiple media reports that
uncovered he, his wife and his business owe up to $826,000 in unpaid
taxes. FitzGerald is running against Republican Gov. John Kasich in 2014.
Streetcar supporters will seek a city charter amendment that would task Cincinnati with continuing the $132.8 million streetcar project. Supporters say the amendment will act as a
back-up plan if Mayor John Cranley and City Council decide to strike
down the project after completion and cancellation costs are reviewed
through an independent audit. But the Federal Transit Administration
says the city would lose up to $44.9 million in federal funding —
roughly one-third of the streetcar project — if the city government doesn't agree
to continue with the streetcar before Dec. 19. If the charter amendment gets enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot, voters could decide on the issue as
late as May.
Cincinnati's winter shelter opened today and will remain open through February, according to the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. The opening comes after winter storms covered Cincinnati's streets in ice and snow and sparked a citywide snow emergency over the weekend. The colder conditions will continue into the week, according to the National Weather Service. It was originally unclear whether the shelter would be able to open for its traditional two-to-three months, but a $30,000 contribution from City Council helped pave the way forward.
The woman who was struck by a police cruiser in Over-the-Rhine last month filed a lawsuit alleging the officer deliberately deleted the dashboard camera video of the collision and lied when he claimed his emergency lights and siren were on. The camera stopped recording for about three minutes right before Officer Orlando Smith hit Natalie Cole with his cruiser. Police say the camera malfunctioned. But the incident was the second time Smith's camera stopped working in the past year; previously, the camera failed to record during a shooting that left one suspect dead and another wounded. CityBeat covered the issues surrounding cruiser cameras in further detail here.
Councilman Charlie Winburn says the city wastefully
purchased and dumped 2,000 tons of road salt. Although other council
members on the Budget and Finance Committee appeared cautious of
Winburn's accusations, he asked the city administration to
investigate the issue.
Ohioans can now enroll in an expanded Medicaid program, which covers anyone up to 138 percent of the poverty level, or an annual income of $15,856.20 or less.

Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune will announce today whether he'll run for governor. If he decides to run, Portune will face off against Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald to decide which Democrat should face off against Republican Gov. John Kasich next November. Until now, it has been widely assumed that FitzGerald would take the gubernatorial nomination without a primary challenge. But if Portune enters the race, it could lead to a primary process that could hinder Democrats' chances in a pivotal state election.
Hamilton County Republican Party officials are looking into hosting the 2016 national GOP convention in Cincinnati, but they acknowledge their bid might come in too late. The 2016 convention would put the national spotlight on Cincinnati during a presidential election year, when presumably two new presidential contenders will have been picked by Democrats and Republicans to replace President Barack Obama. Hamilton County Republican Chairman Alex Triantafilou said Cincinnati would be a great location for the convention, given the region's electoral importance to both parties, but he wants to make sure Cincinnati actually stands a chance before using time and resources to file a formal application.
Entertainment districts allow some businesses in Walnut Hills and nine other Cincinnati neighborhoods to receive their state liquor licenses more quickly and inexpensively, but some — particularly businesses facing new competition — are worried the increasingly popular economic designation will lead to more alcohol-serving establishments than Cincinnati can sustain.
Local startup incubator SoMoLend got state hearings over allegations of fraud pushed to February and March. The once-promising crowdfunding incubator previously partnered with Cincinnati, but the city cut ties with the business once allegations of fraud surfaced.

Tea party leader Ted Stevenot won't run against Gov. John Kasich in a Republican primary after all. The development came just four days after Stevenot announced his candidacy. Stevenot said his decision to pull out had nothing to do with his running mate's tax problems, which The Columbus Dispatch uncovered shortly after Stevenot announced his intention to run. Stevenot's withdrawal comes despite building tea party opposition against Kasich over his support for the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion and his unwillingness to support anti-union "right-to-work" legislation.The debate over same-sex marriage reached the state attorney general's race Friday when Democratic candidate David Pepper published an online petition calling on Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine to stop the state-sanctioned legal battle against a local gay couple. On Dec. 23, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black ruled that state officials must recognize same-sex marriages on death certificates, including the union of Cincinnatians Jim Obergefell and John Arthur. But the state is appealing the ruling. DeWine's office said it's up to the Ohio Department of Health, the plaintiff in the case, to appeal Black's decision. Citing attorney-client privilege, DeWine's office declined to comment whether he advised for or against appeal.
When Pepper and DeWine face off in the November election, same-sex marriage legalization could appear on the ballot as well — despite LGBT groups' disagreement over the ballot initiative's timing.
With the parking privatization plan presumably dead, Mayor John Cranley and City Council plan to address what to do with Cincinnati's lackluster parking system in the next couple months. By all accounts, the system is broken and in need of upgrades. The question is how to fund the upgrades and leverage parking revenue so it can better finance basic services and development projects. When asked whether privatization is still on the table, Cranley says he's only open to leasing parking garages, not parking meters, to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority.

Ohio's leading LGBT groups still disagree whether same-sex marriage should appear on the ballot in 2014 or 2016, but FreedomOhio says it's continuing with efforts to put the issue to a public vote within a year. The debate could decide when gay couples in Ohio will get the same rights already granted to couples in other states. In its defense, FreedomOhio cites polling that shows its amendment has support from 56 percent of Ohio voters. But that same poll also put Ohioans within the margin of error — 47 percent in favor and 48 percent in opposition — on the general question of same-sex marriage legalization, which other LGBT groups point to as a sign Ohio needs more time before it's ready.
Clermont County tea party leader Ted Stevenot will mount a Republican primary challenge against Gov. John Kasich. Stevenot has long criticized Kasich for his support for the federally funded Medicaid expansion, which now allows anyone up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level to enroll for Medicaid. Stevenot has also called on Kasich to support anti-union legislation commonly known as "right-to-work."
Meanwhile, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune's challenge against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is off to a rough start: A former law partner said Portune isn't "ethically … suited to be governor," according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Portune on Monday announced his intent to challenge FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, despite opposition from various state Democrats.Commentary: "What to Watch in 2014."

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald on Friday announced his new running mate: Sharen Neuhardt, a Dayton-area business attorney and twice-failed candidate for Congress. The choice boosts the ticket's credentials with women and abortion-rights advocates, but it also reinforces support for pro-choice policies that upset many Republicans and conservatives. FitzGerald originally picked State Sen. Eric Kearney as his running mate, but Kearney dropped out of the race after multiple media reports uncovered he owed more than $800,000 in tax debt. CityBeat covered the gubernatorial race and how the economy could play into it in further detail here.
Mayor John Cranley on Friday reiterated his opposition to double dipping, even though he supports hiring an assistant city
manager who will take advantage of the practice. Because Bill Moller is a
city retiree, he will be eligible to double dip — simultaneously take a
salary ($147,000 a year) and pension — when the city hires him in
February. Cranley called the practice "abusive" on the campaign trail,
but he says it's up to City Council to pass legislation that prevents it.
Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter on Friday pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges, including accusations of backdating court documents, theft in office and misusing her county credit card. The Ohio Supreme Court on Jan. 10 replaced Hunter until her case is decided. The felony charges are just the latest for the judge, who has been mired in controversy after controversy since before she won her election.

Ohio and various other states passed more abortion restrictions between 2011 and 2013 than they did in the previous decade, according to the Guttmacher Institute. The findings indicate that the latest Republican-backed abortion restrictions, which were passed through Ohio's two-year state budget last June, were part of a broader trend that's culminated across the nation since the tea party rose to national prominence in 2010. The trend could play a pivotal political role: Ohio Democrats have made their opposition to the abortion restrictions a central part of their campaigns to unseat Republican incumbents who hold top executive offices in the state.
One of the candidates expected to join the tea party ticket in a Republican primary challenge against Gov. John Kasich appears to have personal tax problems. Brenda Mack, tea party leader Ted Stevenot's expected running mate, is linked to nearly $60,000 in unpaid state and federal taxes and penalties, according to government records in Mahoning and Cuyahoga counties analyzed by The Columbus Dispatch. Mack refuses to comment on the tax problems until a Tuesday press conference in which she and Stevenot are expected to officially announce their candidacies for the May 6 primary.

Four seats on the 19-member Ohio Board of Education remain unfilled, including two seats that have been vacant for months, long past the 30-day deadline Gov.

Ohio officials will appeal a court ruling that blocked tougher requirements on minor political parties and allows them to run in the 2014 primary and general elections under previous rules. The Republican-controlled Ohio legislature and Gov. John Kasich approved the stricter rules last year. Democrats and Libertarians argued the new law, which they labeled the John Kasich Re-election Protection Act, was put in place to protect Kasich from conservative electoral challengers upset with his support for the federally funded Medicaid expansion.
The Ohio Supreme Court disqualified Hamilton County Juvenile Judge Tracie Hunter Friday after she was indicted on eight felony charges for, among other accusations, backdating and forging court documents. The disqualification could further burden a court that's already known for a large backlog of cases. It remains unclear how long Hunter's case and disqualification will last and whether she'll be replaced while the legal battle unfolds.
Many streetcar supporters oppose the Oasis rail line and the rest of the Eastern Corridor project. Critics of the project point to a recent study that found the Oasis line would generate low economic development in seven of 10 planned stations. Instead of supporting the Oasis line, Cincinnatians for Progress says local officials should work to first establish a transit line — perhaps through a piece-by-piece approach of the defunct MetroMoves plan that voters rejected in 2002 — that could act as a central spine for a broader light rail network. Opposition to the Oasis line is also rooted in a general movement against the Eastern Corridor project, which some say would expand and rework roads and highways in a way that could damage and divide the East Side and eastern Hamilton County. Officials are taking feedback for the Eastern Corridor and Oasis rail line at EasternCorridor.org.

Mayor John Cranley yesterday offered free space to the Hamilton County Board of Elections at the city-owned Shillito's building to keep the board's offices and early voting downtown. The idea comes in the middle of a debate between Democrats and Republicans on the Board of Elections over whether they should move their offices — and early voting — to a Mount Airy facility, where only one bus line runs, to consolidate county services and avoid the cost of rent. Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann said there won't be enough occupancy at the Mount Airy location if the Board of Elections decides not to move there. For the county, a certain amount of occupancy must be filled at Mount Airy to financially justify the move and the renovations it would require. Without the move, the county will need to find another location or means to build a new county crime lab.
Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune yesterday refused to announce whether he will actually run against gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, even though he told The Cincinnati Enquirer the day before that he already made a decision. At this point, Portune's lack of organization and name recognition means his chances of beating FitzGerald are slim to none.
Ohio's December unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent from 7.4 percent the month before. The amount of employed and unemployed both increased compared to the previous year. The state of the economy could decide this year's statewide elections, even if state officials aren't to credit or blame for economic conditions, as CityBeat covered here.
It is perfectly legal to forgive back taxes in Hamilton County. Supporters argue the practice removes a tax burden that likely wasn't going to get paid anyway, but opponents worry it could be misused and take away revenue from schools and other public services that rely on property taxes.

A federal judge halted a controversial election law that limited minor political parties' access to the ballot and ruled that the state must allow minor parties to participate in the primary and general elections in 2014. But by merely agreeing that only the retroactive restrictions for 2014 are too burdensome for minor parties, the judge left room to keep the law intact for elections in 2015 and beyond. Still, the ruling comes as a major victory for the Libertarian Party of Ohio and other minor parties who took to calling the Republican-backed law the "John Kasich Re-election Protection Act" because it conveniently limited minor parties that are upset with Republican Gov. John Kasich's support for the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman broke with most of his fellow Republicans yesterday to help advance federal legislation that would extend emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed. Still, he hinted that he would not support the three-month extension if the $6.4 billion cost isn't covered by federal spending cuts elsewhere. Without the extension, 128,600 Ohioans could lose unemployment benefits through 2014 even as the state economy shows signs of weakening.Cincinnati Budget Director Lea Eriksen yesterday confirmed she is leaving her high-level city job to take the same job in Long Beach, Calif. Peggy Sandman will fill in for Eriksen while a search for a permanent replacement is held. Eriksen's announcement comes as a blow to the city but little surprise to political watchers. Shortly before taking office, Mayor John Cranley called Eriksen and other administration officials "incompetent" because of how they handled the $132.8 million streetcar project, even though their estimates for cancellation costs turned out to be mostly on point.

Mayor John Cranley yesterday announced a plan to add another recruit class to the Cincinnati Fire Department and effectively eliminate brownouts, but it remains unclear how the class will be paid for in the long-term. The Fire Department applied for a federal grant that would cover the costs for two years, but the city would need to pay for the new firefighters' salaries after that. To some City Council members, the proposal, along with other plans to add more police recruits and fund a jobs program for the long-term unemployed, raises questions about what will get cut in the budget to pay for the new costs.
Gov. John Kasich's administration has led an aggressive effort to shut down abortion clinics around the state, and a clinic in Sharonville, Ohio, could be the next to close after the administration denied a request that would have allowed the clinic to stay open without an emergency patient transfer agreement. The process has apparently involved high-ranking officials in the Ohio Department of Health, which one regulator says is unusual. The threat to the Sharonville clinic follows the passage of several new anti-abortion regulations through the latest state budget, but state officials say the new regulations were unnecessary to deny the Sharonville clinic's request to stay open.
Unions broadly support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald's campaign, but at least one union-funded group, Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT) Ohio, seems to be throwing its weight behind Kasich, a Republican. The surprising revelation shows not every union group has kept a grudge against Kasich and other Republicans after they tried to limit public employees' collective bargaining rights through Senate Bill 5 in 2011. ACT Ohio says its support for Kasich is related to jobs, particularly Kasich's support for infrastructure projects. The jobs market actually stagnated after Kasich took office, which some political scientists say could cost Kasich his re-election bid even though economists say the governor isn't to blame.

Five Key Facts on Apple's Colored iPod shuffles
If you've been following Apple's second-generation iPod shuffle since last year, and don't need all the details found in our updated, comprehensive review, here's a quick summary of five key things you'll want to know about today's colorful update to the shuffle family.
(5) Color - What's the story? The most obvious change to the November, 2006 second-generation iPod shuffle is its body coloration. Apple has added four new colors - pink, blue, green, and orange - to the prior silver shuffle. All five are still made from aluminum, just like the multi-colored iPod nano, and the pink, blue, and green shuffles are color-matched to the nano's vibrant tones. The new orange color is equally striking, and very close in color to an actual Sunkist we had sitting around. Notably, iTunes 7.0.2 does not yet recognize the different shuffle colors, but that will likely change in a future update.
(4) Has anything else changed to make this shuffle a better value? Yes, there are other small changes, noted below, but they don't radically change the shuffle's value equation. The colored shuffles sell for the silver version's prior $79 price, and still come with one set of earphones, one Dock, thin manuals, Apple stickers, and an LED-decoding card, nothing else. These shuffles all have the same 1 Gigabyte (240-song) storage capacity as before.
(3) So what's new, then - the Earphones? Last year's silver shuffles shipped with Apple's old, somewhat uncomfortable, and bass-weak earbuds, even though the shuffle came out after two new iPod/iPod nano models that had lighter, better earbuds. Today, all of the shuffles come with Apple's latest earphones, which are also sold separately for $29 as Apple iPod Earphones (iLounge rating: B+).
(2) How do I tell old and new metal shuffles apart? If you're buying a green, pink, blue, or orange iPod shuffle, you're guaranteed to find the new earphones inside. But if you're buying a silver iPod shuffle, look for a package with gray print alongside the shuffle, rather than green print. The gray print indicates that new earphones are inside; the green print indicates that you're getting the older ones.
(1) What about the sound quality, or other changes? The latest iPod shuffles sound the same as the ones shipped last year, which is to say a step below other iPods - particularly in base level of noise - when used with high-quality earphones. We still prefer the nano and fifth-generation iPod to the shuffle by a fair margin. Apple appears to have left everything else about the shuffle the same.

Aaaaw, I just bought the silver Shuffle a week ago online and had it engraved. And orange is my favorite color too :-(
I must have gotten an "in-between" Shuffle, because my green-print Shuffle box came with the new headphones from the Apple factory in Suzhou China. I was suprised to see the new earphones; I had read that the Shuffle shipped with original iPod headphones.

A Note from the President
- Welcome to the web home of the Hillsburgh SnowRoamers. The club is a long time member of OFSC District 4 were the motto is "Stop planning your drive and start planning your ride!". Access to some of the best trail loops the OFSC has to offer is available right here in Hillsburgh. I have ridden the RAP tour and found some of the day trip loops here in Hillsburgh District 4 to be some the most scenic in Ontario and food and fuel are never far from the trails. If you haven't been sledding on our trails you need to come and check out what we have to offer. Staging areas, close to the GTA and a Tim Horton's trailside are just the start! Please remember to ride safe, ride smart, stay on trail and respect our landowners. President, Hillsburgh SnowRoamers Richard McColl

November 27, 2014
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - The highest court in sports has upheld the decision to bar a Taiwanese taekwondo fighter from election to the IOC athletes' commission for breaking campaign rules.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says it rejected the appeal by Chu Mu-yen against the decision by the IOC executive board to disqualify him.
CAS says its three-man panel found Chu guilty of several violations of the election rules by using "unauthorized promotional materials and distributing gifts to voters."
CAS say the violations "gave him an advantage" over other candidates but adds Chu's behavior was "due more to excessive zeal than a desire to cheat."
CAS has yet to rule on a similar appeal by Japanese hammer thrower Koji Murofoshi.
Both men finished in the top four in voting during the London Olympics but were barred from accepting their eight-year posts.

Has everyone missed the point? Or is confused about how this screen as is would be pretty damn good. It's more scratch resistant than gorilla glass 3, an actual sapphire screen would more likely shatter than scratch, which is actually worse on a phone.

Mr. Andrus questioned Ambassador Frank's claim that the surrender of General Gotovina formed a precondition to achieving stability in the region. He noted that such statements are inaccurate as Croatia has already achieved a stable democracy in the region. Further, he questioned the continued emphasis being given by the United States to the case of General Gotovina. Unlike Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, General Gotovina has not been charged with genocide. Moreover, Mr. Andrus noted that even assuming that the charges against General Gotovina are provable, they "pale in comparison to those committed by Mladic and Karadzic. General Gotovina commanded an operation which took place over a matter of days, an operation carried out with the open support of the United States. Mladic and Karadzic, on the other hand, engaged in massive murder and genocide over a 4 years period." Mr. Andrus further questioned statements made to the press by NFCA Lobbyist Joe Foley with Illinois CAA President Anthony Ambassador Frank in which he implied that all of what Croatia Pericia and Congressman Cliff Stearns of Florida at the Caucus has done to date is not as important as finding General Gotovina. launch reception Mr. Andrus questioned how such a surrender could ever be deemed as important as "the strengthening of democratic institutions, reconciliation with neighboring states, and the [on- going] cooperation between the Croatian government and [Croatia's] major ethnic Serbian political party." Mr. Andrus also found fault with the United States' position requiring General Gotovina's surrender even though he may no longer be in Croatia. He noted that Croatia is a relatively small country, having a population only half that of New York City. "Croatia simply does not have the resources to conduct a world- wide hunt for one person. Furthermore, your statement that it is Croatia's sole responsibility to apprehend General Gotovina for delivery to the ICTY, may not be practiable, fair, or as easily fulfilled as initially assumed.

Pelvic Ultrasound
What is a Pelvic Ultrasound?
A pelvic ultrasound allows visualization of the bladder and the pelvic organs.
In females, the uterus, ovaries and other pelvic structures are evaluated.
In males, ultrasound can evaluate the prostate gland. The kidneys are also examined.
How do I prepare for the exam? (For 18 years old or younger)
You will need to have a full bladder for the exam to allow visualization of the pelvic organs. Empty your bladder one hour prior to your exam and drink 24 ounces (four glasses) of water. Do not empty your bladder again.
How do I prepare for the exam? (For older than 18 years old)
There is no preparation for this exam.
What will happen during the exam?
You will lie down on a table for the exam and the sonographer will put a warm gel on your abdomen. The gel is water-based and will not stain your clothing. The gel maximizes contact between the skin producing high quality images. The sonographer will then move a transducer over the pelvic area in order to obtain the necessary images. When the exam is over, the sonographer will wipe off the gel.
In most women, a transvaginal ultrasound will also be performed. This procedure is similar to an internal exam that is performed at your doctor's office and is performed after emptying your bladder. A specially designed disinfected transducer will be inserted into your vagina, which allows for better visualization of your pelvic organs.
How long will the procedure take?
The entire exam can take up to 30 minutes.
What will happen after the exam?
After the exam, the technologist will process your images using a computer. A radiologist will evaluate the images within 24 hours and dictate a report. A report will be sent to your physician.
How will I receive my results?
You will get the results of the exam from your doctor.

This was the first 5th-gen case to show up at my local Best Buy, so I was quick to purchase it when I saw it. I have trouble accessing the dock port through the bottom of the case, but this might have to do with owning a 60 gigger. Overall, I'm not very pleased with the case. Only when I'm working out at the gym am I happy with it. I'll be replacing it just as soon as more cases are released.

I have the DLO action jacket for my 4g. The stitching around scrollwheel leaves visable scratches, as you can read on other Action Jacket newsbits and reviews here on iLounge. I recently purchased the action jacket for my nano, hoping this issue would have been addressed, but the same stitching was apparent, and scratched my nano within 5 minutes… it was not horrible, but in time and in comparison with the scratches on my 4g, i suspect it would be pretty bad.
I would read some more reviews before buying this product, especially with the susceptability to scratches on the nano and 5g models.
Posted by Brian Kirk on November 16, 2005 at 4:02 PM (CST)
This looked cool…but from those other comments I'm not sure I want it now. When will ilounge do a review?
Posted by PimpyMicPimp on November 16, 2005 at 8:20 PM (CST)
I've got the Action Jacket for the 4G. No problems. Scratches are inevitable - Invisible Skin or some PDA screen protector - problem solved. The Ipod scratches easily, so there's no way it's going to stay in mint condition. When this hits stores where I'm at, definitely going to get one. Good case pretty much all around - the gym, the car, the belt, etc. You can go from belt clip to arm strap in seconds.
Posted by easbaysav on November 17, 2005 at 4:38 AM (CST)
I just purchased this new case from best buy last night on my way to the gym, and I love it. The arm band was very comfortable. I like the padded grip and the sides on the case, and I like the protective screen and wheel covers.
Posted by Jack Lee on November 17, 2005 at 8:53 AM (CST)
I almost bought this but I wanted to first know whether it includes screen and click wheel protection. Also what it the outside material of the case? Can anyone help please?
Posted by jds dzyn on November 17, 2005 at 6:29 PM (CST)
Bought one at best buy today. I have the 60 gig and i agree the opening for the dock port doesn't match up perfectly. It has felt-like material all around and rubber on the side for grip-ability. Clear plastic covers the screen and wheel. So far so good.
Posted by Joe on November 18, 2005 at 12:05 AM (CST)
Did all of you get black cases? I see in the announcement that other colors are supposed to be available, but on their website they only have the black one.
Posted by badlydrawnboy on November 19, 2005 at 4:03 PM (CST)
I'm receiving my DLO action jacket for my iPod tomorrow & I hope it works out well. Maybe if you leave your iPod in the case long enough the case well stretch out some. Like if you use a baseball glove alot & it's stiff at 1st, it'll soften up.
Posted by marcus on December 4, 2005 at 8:15 PM (CST)
this case is a terrible product. i have tried to attach to an ipod dock and a iradio and cant do it without taking off the case! so why does dlo have an opening on the bottom for??
a big waste of money. trust me. try to dock your ipod with the case on.
my case is going back to best buy.
