Career for M.Pharm/Ph.D to Review Monographs on Indian Medicinal Plants at ICMR
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world. As early as in 1911, the Government of India set up the Indian Research Fund Association (IRFA) with the specific objective of sponsoring and coordinating medical research in the country. After independence, several important changes were made in the organisation and the activities of the IRFA. It was redesignated in 1949 as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) with considerably expanded scope of functions.

Vacancy for the post of Senior Research Fellow (Non Medical) in All India Institute of Medical Sciences
Creating a country imbued with a scientific culture was Jawaharlal Nehru's dream, and immediately after independence he prepared a grand design to achieve it. Among the temples of modern India which he designed, was a centre of excellence in the medical sciences. Nehru's dream was that such a centre would set the pace for medical education and research in Southeast Asia, and in this he had the wholehearted support of his Health Minister, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur.

Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology recruiting Senior Research Fellow for project on breast cancer
Institute of Cytology & Preventive Oncology (ICPO) which was initially established as Cytology Research Centre ( CRC ) by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in 1979, came into the existence in 1989 when CRC was elevated to the level of Institute. ICPO was instituted with the main aim of promoting research in the field of cancers that are most prevalent in India with an emphasis on their early detection and prevention. The thrust areas of research include precancer and cancer of the uterine cervix and breast in women. Multidisciplinary studies involving epidemiological, behavioral, clinical, cytomorphological, cytogenetic, biochemical, virological, immunological and molecular biological aspects are being undertaken in order to understand the natural history, biological behaviour and mechanisms of carcinogenesis. ICPO has since made significant contributions in the field of cervical cancer research. The concept of clinical downstaging, visual inspection of cervix with selective cytology screening and development of novel diagnostic approaches for screening HPV and other cancer causing and cancer suppressor genes have been introduced for early detection of cervical cancer. Transcriptional control of viral gene expression and preparatory work on HPV vaccine, analysis of breast cancer susceptibility genes are some of the major research areas being undertaken. ICPO is also promoting human resource development through in-service training, workshops, Ph.D. and M.D. program and referral services in the field. The institute has evolved as a National Reference Centre for HPV and cervical cancer and provides specialized diagnostic referral services.

Melissa Rycroft has officially rebounded.
Barely four months after enduring a nationally televised breakup with indecisive Bachelor Jason Mesnick, Rycroft is engaged to fellow Texan Tye Strickland, the bride-to-be confirmed on Good Morning America Tuesday.
"Sometimes the stars align and the clouds part and everything works out the way it should," she said in a phone call to the morning show.
Per Rycroft, the engagement took place in private at White's Chapel in Southlake, Texas, after which the happy couple "went and met up with our parents and friends"—who were apparently onto something when they were reluctant to meet Jason last year—at a nearby restaurant.
Rycroft parlayed her rather heartbreaking Bachelor appearance into a third-place finish on Dancing With the Stars. Easy as ABC, the 26-year-old former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader was then offered a job as a special correspondent on Good Morning America this summer.
And it turns out Strickland was never too far from Rycroft's side throughout.
"We've been really good friends, but the timing was never right," she told Us Weekly of Strickland, who she started dating not long after Mesnick broke off their engagement.
"With all this going on, he's my support system. It's funny how things happen."

Pac-12 season features a surprise ending
At the beginning of this year, who would have picked Stanford and UCLA over Oregon and USC to play in the conference championship game?
Seattle Times college football reporter
Back in August — before that, really — we all knew who was going to play in the Pac-12 football title game.
We all knew who was the hands-down best team in the North, and there was no real doubt about the superior team in the South.
Come on down, Stanford and UCLA.
As for Oregon and USC, well, sorry. The Ducks only flinched against Stanford, but it was enough. As for the Trojans, they're 7-5. That Sports Illustrated preseason cover headline about Matt Barkley — "He didn't come back to go to the Holiday Bowl" — was so true. But he really didn't come back to go to the Sun Bowl, which is where Troy may be headed.
What We Learned
Embree's firing at Colorado is an eye-opener. Now we have it quantified, the impact of the big-bucks TV contracts the Pac-12 signed for 2012-13.
Embree is a Colorado alum. He was widely regarded as a genuinely good guy. Yes, he was 4-21 in two years, but it was two years. Consider that Paul Wulff got twice that at Washington State, with just about the same rate of success.
No doubt the high-powered hires of last offseason, and the generally big results, had something to do with the urge at Colorado to step it up. But the Buffs must assess how badly they want to play the money game. They were paying Embree only $725,000, far less than any other Pac-12 coach.
No wonder USC fans are so ticked off. The late-game goal-line misadventures in a 22-13 loss to Notre Dame were probably only cosmetic; even if USC had scored, it was probably going to lose. But they highlighted the growing unease with Lane Kiffin as the Trojans' coach.
"The coach who has enraged fans with his play-calling and game management unfurled more mind-bending strategy that turned this game on its ear hole," wrote L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke.
Kiffin is the first coach at USC to lose to UCLA and Notre Dame since 1995, and he doesn't look any better after the observation of backup quarterback Max Wittek, who told reporters, "No one imagined losing five games with the talent we have."
As if that weren't enough, the failure to dent the end zone for what appeared to be a sure touchdown meant that the Trojans failed to cover the point spread that ranged from six to seven points.
It's not easy being Oregon State. The Beavers need to apologize to no one for a season that could still end with 10 victories, nor the 2008 and 2009 years in which they took their Rose Bowl chances to a final game with Oregon.
It's just that they live next to the Ducks, and they're still major strides behind Oregon, exemplified by the Ducks' 48-24 cruise through Corvallis in which they rushed for 430 yards.
The Ducks received tough judgment in the AP poll, however, as they fell to No. 6, with Florida inching past them. Still, Oregon appears likely for the Fiesta Bowl.
Go ahead, name the two all-league running backs. You'll have to pick among Arizona's Ka'deem Carey (1,757 yards), Oregon's Kenjon Barner (1,624), UCLA's Johnathan Franklin (1,506) and Stanford's Stepfan Taylor (1,364).
Naming the all-conference quarterback (the team will be announced Monday or Tuesday) is only slightly easier. I was in the Matt Scott camp until the weekend, but would tilt toward Oregon's Marcus Mariota now, with Scott's four turnovers against ASU dropping him to second team.
When the Apple Cup is in Pullman, expect a thriller. The NCAA legislated overtime into the rules in 1996, and since then four of nine UW-WSU games in Pullman have gone to overtime.

Awesome render! I wonder if you can elaborate a little bit more on how to use sweep modifier to make the overflow object.
thanks kim and 3dsmaxed :)
i customized the curves for the different channels seperately.
in the curves adjustments you can select every channel via the dropdown. rgb is default, but you can select red, green and blue. all i did is to customize the curve for the blues. i pushed the blues in the darker parts of the immage (the windows/shadows).
you can have a similar effect using color balance as an adjustmentlayer...in color balance you can choose different colorshifts for highlights,midtones and shadows. just push the slider for the shadows against blue. afterwards you can paint masks for these layers, if you want this effect to appear just on certain parts.
Hi marcus
Thanks for the great tutorial.
i noticed that your post produced image is much better in contrast than the actual render especially the Glass doors onto the left. they are much darker in color and also have a vintage/purplish tone to it. Can u explain how you contrast ur image in pshop. a little bit more info on the post production process ?
Hi, Marcus.
I am not much into the techie side of rendering, but I can appreciate what you did here. It's a cool tutorial for those who wants to broaden their design skills. I know a number of our rendering team members would love to dissect what you did here with you, if they have the time that is.
As for me, I am cool with looking at the finished renderings and admiring how realistic they appear. You have great stuff here, Marcus. Wouldn't mind dropping by again sometime. :)
I dont quite get how you've done the floor. In floor generator you make a plane then use teh script and it generates a floor from that plane. Do you apply the textures to the generated floor?
Hi Marcus, excelent work.
Did you use linear workflow or just color mapped with reinhard?
Thanks for sharing and keep inspiring us with your work.
I would also like to ask how come VRayLightMaterial displayed in your viewport. mine always shows white :/ Thank you :)
Nice tutorial. Thanks, May I know if u kept the sun intensity to default values?
really good work, thanks for sharing the tutorial. how did you made the glass reflection look 'wavy'? I always try to achieve that kind of reflection when rendering a full-glass skyscraper
thanks everybody, much appreciated,i'm glad that you like it.
Alex,this might be due to the fact that they once were one and the same. The collection might have been purchased before separation, but for sure through rendering.ru.
Good work and good tutorial, snx! But I have to say that 3d models of Poplar tree, Acacia and Pines are not iTrees - this is HQ Plants from www.3dmentor.ru
I use HQ Plants in my work and like it.
very nice tutorial! thanks for sharing!
lovely....just lovely....i particularly like the trick of the wet area on the tiles....nice going Marcus
Great work and thanks for sharing. Learned new stuff!
Very cool tutorial
i did a quick screen capture for you ;)
it's a bit different from the project, but easier to follow as there's no need for additional polymodelling
get it here:
hope this helps
Hi Toby,
please follow the link Ronen posted in his editor's note to the best available source about using the floor generator, made by Bertrand Benoit...
Find it here - http://www.ronenbekerman.com/using-floor-generator-script-by-bertrand-benoit/
Yes Daniel, but sometimes this problem still occurs, even if you use your well described workflow, at least inside a light material.
Thanks Diego, well, let's call it some kind of a LWF. The preferences are set to 2.2 for in- and output.
Thanks San, yes the sun is kept to default values, except i set the shadow subdivs to 8...
For the lightmtl., i noticed that too in other scenes. Never managed to track this down to the cause, sometimes it does show, sometimes it doesn't. It's scene dependent but i can't isolate a reason for this. Guess i had luck this time, preparing the making of ;)
Thank you Bayu...It's nothing more than a noise for the bump...I mentioned it in the part about texturing, have a look again at pic. 21.
Yeah.. even vraydirt shows in black when i apply it to object.. dont know whats the problem...
Your floor material is complex.. I need to read it few time to understand it i think :P
Very nice making of :) Thanks again for your time.. those images looks photo real :)
Daniel.. Thats a very useful information. I will try it soon.. Thank you very much :) You Rock ^_^
@San, about the vraylightmtl showing in the viewport, you have to enable the "Show Standard Map in Viewport" icon when you are IN the bitmap editing settings in the material editor, not the one in the Vraylightmtl settings (this one must be disabled), then it must be shown in the viewport.
And for the vraydirt showing black, to avoid this disable the same setting (Show Standard Map in Viewport)in the vraydirt editor setting.
Hope it helps!

Raising Sand
Former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant gets caricatured as a heavy metal wailer, but his embrace of folk, blues and country has been evident throughout his career. So it's no surprise that his collaboration with bluegrass queen Alison Krauss is a natural beauty—these two have plenty of common ground, and Raising Sand finds them sharing it with grace.

JWoww on Jersey Shore Season 3: Crazy Drama!by Free Britney at . Comments
JWoww promises plenty of drama when Jersey Shore returns for Season 3 next week. We're inclined to believe the fake-breasted, hot-headed star.
Frequent sparring partner Angelina Pivarnick may be gone, but according JWoww (Jenni Farley), tears and tirades are still to come on the MTV hit.
"There's a whole lot of drama!" JWoww said, admitting that she is at the center of much of the action herself, thanks to her split with Tom Lippolis.
BUSTIN' OUT: JWoww is so ready to this season.
"You will see that I go through a bad breakup, and I find new love," Jenni says. "Everyone finally gets to see my side. I come out of my shell."
JWoww's pissed off ex publicly accused her of cheating - and cheating her out of royalties - last summer, but the starlet is hardly heartbroken.
Instead, she's turning her misadventures in love into the third season of her hit show, along with a dating advice book to be released next year.
At least she has Sammi Giancola to take out her frustrations on. Watch JWoww get into it with her roomie in the Jersey Shore Season 3 trailer!
i fucking hate sammi that BITCHH , That's good that jwoww whipped her ass. She only thinks she so bad when ron is around. I hope that deena beat her up to. Ron cheated on her and fucked other girls and she still with him. Sammi if i could meet you I would beat the fuck out you because i hate fake bitches like you. SAMMI CAN EAT THAT DICK THAT HOE. MY FAVORITES: 1. JWOWW, SNOOKI, PAULY D ,DEENA ,& VINNY & MIKE FUCK SAMMI THAT FAKE SCARY BITCH , & RON YU NEED TOO LET THAT BITCH SAMMI FIGHT HER OWN BATTLES WITH HER SCARY ASS.
Man more fighting between JWOW and Sammi. I like how last season JWOW was talking about being such a good friend but was to scared to tell her anything, and caused all the drama with it. I cant wait to watch it in HD tonight on DISH Network on channel 160. I just hope we have it on in the breakroom at DISH so I don't have to wait till I get home to watch it.
Man i can't wait till jersey shore 3 comes in a couple of days i love everybody besides sammi and ronnie! U need to come see me for real ill put u in ur place u crybaby! ! And ronnie thinks he's the s*** f*** both of yall

Oh my gosh, I love this product! It blends so easily and gives my skin a gorgeous glow. It's very cheap too! I just wish the packaging was a bit better cause I dropped the bottle and the bottom of it completely shattered. I'd buy it again!
Coverage is a bit lighter than I would like, but other than that this is a great foundation. It doesn't break me out, which most foundations do, and that is the primary reason I keep using it.
Overall a great product: good coverage, good colors to choose from, good consistency, easy to apply.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Was liking this because I thought it wasn't making my skin act up but after using for a couple of months, I started having issues.
I hadn't read the ingredients until then and found out it contains cyclopentasiloxane which is a no-no for me so I've had to trash it.
I was looking for a replacement for my beloved revlon new complexion which has been discontinued in Australia and this is the closest ive come. its nice and light and non-siliconey which is great, the coverage is light/medium. The packaging is definitely horrible though, i dont know how they expect a product to get to the opening when it obstinately defies gravity? that annoys me a bit, its lazy and cheap of them not to put a pump on. i'd be willing to pay more for it with a pump. Anway, the product itself is really good though!
I really wanted to love this. It's cheap, it's for sensitive skin, the color I chose seemed to match. Unfortunately when applied, it settles and looks powdery. Within a few hours I was in desperate need of another application. No thank you!
I was excited that Cover Girl had come out with a sensitive foundation. The product comes in a thick glass bottle. After shaking and turning upside down, the product still doesn't come out very well. I think that this foundation is a slightly sheer yet a little build able. Covers my sensitivity redness, but no so much with blemishes. I simply blend this product in with my fingers and works well. However, I would not buy this product again because of the packaging. That was a MAJOR bust for me.
I have to say that I have worn this foundation on and off for years and years, and I keep coming back to it when I don't know what to try next. I think the Classic Ivory is pretty close to my skin, maybe a tiny bit lighter/cooler than I am, but it's the closest one in the range. I just make sure to warm it up with some bronzer and I'm good. A little of this stuff goes a long way. I put a few dots on my cheeks, nose, chin, forehead and blend. IT REALLY IS HARD TO GET OUT OF THE BOTTLE, THOUGH!!!! THEY NEED A PUMP!!!!! I also wish it had SPF but I use a moisturizer with spf underneath to counter that. The best things about it are: feels clean, no strong smell, feels lightweight& comfortable, doesn't set into lines or pores... The cons are: packaging stinks, no spf, could use more shades- maybe a "Classic Ivory WARM" and "Classic Ivory COOL". Overall, it is a pretty good bet when you are in a pinch.
I wanted so much to love this.... Suffer from acne, tried all the high-end foundations and heard great things about this. Not for me at all... No coverage, what coverage it does give is dewy and melts off in under an hour. If you try to give it staying power by setting with powder, it gets cakey and settles into fine lines. I guess I need more coverage...this seems more like a dilluted tinted moisturizer to me. Oh well...
Great shade selection--especially for a DS product. It gives an okay finish but has absolutely no lasting power and turned about 3 shades darker after 5 hours or so. Also, I got 3 cystic acne I got on my chin from one day of wear.
Did I mention the packaging is absolutely horrible? Just not for me I guess.
I personally have sensitive skin and this product is perfect. I never break out from this foundation. It is so lightweight that you can barely feel that you are wearing it. Easy to apply and evens out the skin perfectly. I will DEFINATELY buy this product again.

I just got an email back from Brewers Publications saying that they are working on bring back the Lambic book as an eBook and maybe potentially reprint it. I've been wanting to read this but haven't been willing to pay the $255.00 from amazon. Thought I'd share this for any Lambic brewers that are searching for this book too.
Primary: Lambic, Flanders Red,
Secondary: Orange Cinnamon Metheglin, Black Cherry Melomel.
Bottled:Imperial Chocolate Coconut Porter, Pinot Noir, Strong Dark Belgian, Hard Lemonade, Black Hops IPA. Dunkelwiezen, Old Rasputin Clone, 1554 black ale clone, BarleyWine
Keg, Rye IPA, Chocolate Coconut Porter, Apricot ale
Good to know because I wanted that book but never actually tried to buy it, and at $250 that wasn't going to happen.
Going through life is hard.
Going through life stupid is harder.
Wow, $255. That's got to be a mistake.
I have the book. I paid $3.98 for it. It is an interesting read, but you have to question how much the author really knows about Lambic when the recipe for Gueuze-Lambic calls for a 3 week fermentation, 1 week conditioning and then bottle. I think all the recipes have the beer in the bottle in less than 2 months.
In that case nevermind......Sounds like something I don't need to read if the recipes are so far off time wise for realistic lambics.
I just checked the Amazon site, and it says it will buy my copy from me for $58.25.
i found a mint copy lying in the casual reading/board games area of the rogue pub in SF about six months back. I amazed myself by not pocketing it and immediately walking out of that joint. came back a week later to look something up - seemed as though someone else didn't have the same willpower. i would definitely buy it for $15 if it was republished though.

November 28, 2014
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The attorney for a New Jersey man accused of sexually abusing a sleeping woman on a cross-country flight is disputing the charges.
Federal authorities say the woman awoke on the Aug. 20 flight from Phoenix to Newark, N.J., to find Bawer Aksal (BOW'-er ox-'SAHL), of North Bergen, with his hands inside her clothing.
Aksal's attorney, Robert DeGroot, says his client denies abusing the woman.
Speaking at a bail hearing, DeGroot also said prosecutors have incorrectly claimed that Aksal confessed to touching the woman and told authorities it was consensual.
Prosecutors say Aksal, a Turkish-born U.S. citizen, is a flight risk. But DeGroot says Aksal is a Kurd who fled Turkish persecution and has no desire to return.
A federal judge in Newark will continue Aksal's bail hearing Thursday.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has returned more than $100,000 in campaign contributions in response to an FBI investigation into 21 donors who had no record of giving to federal campaigns and many appearing to have low incomes. Mandel, a Republican, is running against incombent Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown. Mandel's campaign treasurer Kathryn Kessler sent a letter to donors explaining that any contributions appearing to be under investigation would be refunded.
From The Toledo Blade:
Although the campaign provided a copy of the letter to The Blade, it would not explain the timing of the decision or how long it has been aware of the federal probe.
The Blade revealed the unusual pattern of contributions in August.
The company's owner, Benjamin Suarez, and 16 of his employees (plus some of their spouses) gave about $200,000 to Mr. Mandel and U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci (R., Wadsworth) last year. Each of those donors gave $5,000, the maximum allowable amount, to one or both candidates.
The Ohio Senate yesterday passed new fracking regulations, and the final version caused some environmental organizations to change their stance on the bill. The Ohio Environmental Council and the Sierra Club had both been neutral on the legislation until changes were made forcing anyone suing over chemical trade secrets to show current or potential harm, according to The Enquirer. The regulations are part of Kasich's new energy bill and easily passed both the Senate and House and is expected to be signed by Kasich soon.
Cincinnati Public Schools says it will apply for the latest available federal education grants, which amount to nearly $700 million. The grants are geared toward helping schools proceed with reform and innovation.

United Nations inspectors have reportedly found uranium in Iran enriched beyond the highest levels previously reported. One diplomat said the measure could actually be a measurement error, though the reading could also mean that Iran is closer to producing bomb-grade uranium than previously thought.

The Republican-controlled Ohio House on Wednesday approved a bill that would allow school boards to designate some school employees to carry concealed firearms and prohibit school boards from releasing the names of those employees.
As part of the designation, school employees would have to participate in "active shooter training" established by the state attorney general. School boards and employees could also consult with local law enforcement to establish stronger standards and training.
If a gun-toting teacher injures or kills someone, the rules exempt the school board and employees from liability "unless the injury, death or loss resulted from the employee's reckless or wanton conduct."
The bill would also allow off-duty officers to carry firearms in schools.
There are some restrictions: A school board could not force an employee to carry a gun, and gun-carrying rights could not be part of a collective bargaining agreement.
While a Republican majority supports the rules to increase safety in schools, some research indicates the plan could backfire.
A review from the Harvard Injury Control Research Center found states and countries with more guns tend to have more homicides. Specifically, men and women in places with more firearms are exposed to a larger risk of gun-related homicide.
University of Pennsylvania researchers found similar results in a 2009 study.
"On average, guns did not protect those who possessed them from being shot in an assault," the study concluded. "Although successful defensive gun uses occur each year, the probability of success may be low for civilian gun users in urban areas. Such users should reconsider their possession of guns or, at least, understand that regular possession necessitates careful safety countermeasures."
A 2009 ABC News special found even trained gun-wielders fail to properly react in the event of a shooting. In multiple simulations that placed trained and armed students in a classroom, none of the participants succeeded in stopping an unexpected shooter from landing fake rounds that would have been deadly in a real shooting.
Local state representatives split along party lines on the bill. Democrats Denise Driehaus, Connie Pillich and Alicia Reece voted against it, while Republicans Peter Stautberg and Louis Blessing voted for it.
The bill now needs to move through the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate and Republican Gov. John Kasich to become law.
Duke Energy told city officials to OK an operating deal for the streetcar before trying to talk costs. The fighting words are in the middle of an ongoing feud between city officials and Duke Energy about who will move utility lines and pipes to accommodate the streetcar. The operating details will help Duke know what "unbreakable rules" about maintenance and emergency repairs exist and where the streetcar will go, according to the company's spokesperson. CityBeat previously covered the streetcar issue and all the pettiness from Duke here.
A suspended frat is suing Miami University. The frat was suspended after a fireworks battle led to the discovery of illegal substances in the frat. The frat claims the university improperly suspended it, damaged its business and property, and made libelous allegations out of "malice, hatred and ill will." The frat says it shouldn't have been suspended without a written complaint, but Miami's spokesperson said the university is allowed to suspend students without a written complaint if there is a pending investigation.Ohio will soon begin tying college funding to graduation rates. If only that was done with e-schools.
Equality Ohio announced Columbus, Ohio made a step forward in LGBT rights yesterday. It is now among the few cities in Ohio to have a domestic partner registry, which allows same-sex couples to legally declare their relationships without marriage or civil unions. Toledo, Cleveland, Athens and Dayton also have registries.
Secretary of State Jon Husted wrote a "guest column" on his own website defending early voting rules in Ohio. Republicans are facing criticism over bringing racial politics and poor arguments into the early voting debate.
The University of Cincinnati's new interim president just got a nice raise.The state texting-while-driving ban goes into effect tomorrow.
Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio made his speech at the Republican national convention yesterday. In the speech, he criticized President Barack Obama for the current state of the economy. In return, Democrats criticized Portman for his budget work for former President George W. Bush, whose administration is widely blamed for the current economic crisis.It seems like Paul Ryan spent a lot of time lying in
In February, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, from 7.9 percent in January, and the nation added 236,000 jobs. Many of the new jobs — about 48,000 — came from construction, while government employment saw a drop even before sequestration, a series of across-the-board federal spending cuts, began on March 1. Economists seem quite positive about the report.
In January, Ohio's unemployment rate rose to 7 percent, from 6.7 percent in December, with the number of unemployed in the state rising to 399,000, from 385,000 the month before. Goods-producing and service-providing industries and local government saw a rise in employment, while jobs were lost in trade, transportation, utilities, financial activities, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, state government and federal government. In January, U.S. unemployment rose to 7.9 percent, from 7.8 percent in December.
A new report outlined renovations for the city-owned Tower Place Mall, which is getting a makeover as part of Cincinnati's parking plan. A lot of the retail space in the mall will be replaced to make room for parking that will be accessed through what is currently Pogue's Garage, but two rings of retail space will remain, according to the report. The parking plan was approved by City Council Wednesday, but it was temporarily halted by a Hamilton County judge. The legal contest has now moved to federal court, and it's set to get a hearing today.
Meet the mayoral candidates through CityBeat's two extensive Q&As: Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley. Qualls spoke mostly about her support for immigration, the parking plan and streetcar, while Cranley discussed his opposition to the parking plan and streetcar and some of his ideas for Cincinnati.
A Hamilton County court ruled against the controversial traffic cameras in Elmwood Place, and the Ohio legislature is considering a statewide ban on the cameras. In his ruling, Judge Robert Ruehlman pointed out there were no signs making motorists aware of the cameras and the cameras are calibrated once a year by a for-profit operator. The judge added, "Elmwood Place is engaged in nothing more than a high-tech game of 3-card Monty. … It is a scam that motorists can't win." Bipartisan legislation was recently introduced to prohibit traffic cameras in Ohio.
JobsOhio, the state-funded nonprofit corporation, quietly got $5.3 million in state grants, even though the state legislature only appropriated $1 million for startup costs. JobsOhio says it needed the extra funds because legal challenges have held up liquor profits that were originally supposed to provide funding. In the past few days, State Auditor Dave Yost, a Republican, has been pushing Republican Gov. John Kasich and JobsOhio to release more details about the nonprofit corporation's finances, but Kasich and JobsOhio have been pushing back.
Advocates for Ohio's charter schools say Kasich's budget amounts to a per-pupil cut, with funding dropping from $5,704 per pupil to $5,000 plus some targeted assistance that ranges from hundreds of dollars to nothing depending on the school. A previous CityBeat report on online schools found traditional public schools get about $3,193 per student — much less than the funding that apparently goes to charter schools.
Fountain Square will be getting a new television from Cincinnati-based LSI Industries with the help of Fifth-Third Bank and the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC). The new video board will have better image quality and viewing angles, but it will also come with more screen space for sponsors.
Ohio's casino revenues rose in January. That could be a good sign for Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino, which opened Monday.
In light of recent discussion, Popular Science posted a Q&A on drones.
National conservative groups have brought their concerted effort to weaken state energy standards to Ohio. State Sen. Bill Seitz, who's on the board of directors of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), says he will introduce a bill within two weeks that would cap how much utilities can spend on energy efficiency programs and eliminate requirements for in-state wind and solar power. ALEC and the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank backed in part by oil companies and global-warming deniers, have teamed up to undo energy standards in different states, but so far the groups' efforts have failed. Seitz's proposal would weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law, which environmentalists and other green energy advocates say have revitalized wind, solar and other renewable projects around the state.
Cincinnati Public Schools got six F's, one D and two C's in the 2012-2013 school report card released yesterday by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). The scores come with a big caveat: The school district is still being investigated for scrubbing data, which could be favorably skewing results for CPS. This is the first year ODE is using its A-F grading system, which is much more stringent than the previous system — to the point that no school district earned straight A's this year, according to StateImpact Ohio.
Cincinnati for Pension Reform, the group behind the controversial pension amendment that will appear on the ballot this November, officially registered with the state. The group isn't disclosing how much money it's raised so far. The tea party-backed amendment would privatize the city's pension system, a pooled fund that's managed by an independent board, so future city employees — excluding cops and firefighters, who use a different system — contribute to and manage individual 401k-style accounts. City officials and unions say the amendment will raise costs for the city and hurt gains for employees. Tea party supporters say it's needed to deal with Cincinnati's rising pension costs. CityBeat covered the pension amendment and the national groups who may be helping fund its campaign in further detail here.
Ohio's oil and gas boom has apparently failed to create all the jobs state officials previously promised. "Total employment growth has been much less robust than sales activity in Ohio's shale country," claims the Ohio Utica Shale Gas Monitor, which is produced quarterly by the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. CityBeat covered Ohio's oil and gas boom in further detail here.
A company that received a tax credit through JobsOhio two years ago is moving some executives and operations from Ohio to Chicago. Rittal Corp. has not received the tax credit yet, but it intends to uphold its tax agreement through other operations. JobsOhio is a privatized development agency established by Gov. John Kasich and Republican legislators to replace the Ohio Department of Development. Kasich and allies argue its privatized, secretive nature allow it to more quickly establish job-creating development deals, but Democratic opponents argue the agency is too difficult to hold accountable.
CityBeat commentary on JobsOhio: "Gov. Kasich's Bias Toward Secrecy."
Ohio has received more than $383 million as part of the national mortgage settlement, which has helped more than 10,000 Ohioans, according to the state attorney general's office. The payout, which is paid by banks as part of a settlement reached with states and the federal government, is meant to provide some relief to Americans who were impacted by the housing and economic crisis of 2008.
Enrollment at Ohio colleges, including the University of Cincinnati, is continuing its steady rise.
A campaign supported by AAA, local school officials and police is attempting to reduce the amount of car accidents involving school children. The "School's Open — Drive Carefully" campaign aims to give drivers a few tips for navigating roads filled with children going to school.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is charging Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank for allegedly discriminating against a couple with disabilities. The bank and others reportedly required unnecessary medical documentation from the couple when the two attempted to refinance their home mortgage with a Federal Housing Administration loan.

Gov. John Kasich's 2014-2015 budget plan is on the horizon, and it contains "sweeping tax reform," according to Tim Keen, budget director for Kasich. Keen said the new plan will "result in a significant competitive improvement in our tax structure," but it's not sure how large tax cuts would be paid for. Some are already calling the plan the "re-election budget." Expectations are Kasich's administration will cut less than the previous budget, which greatly cut funding to local governments and education.
Chris Monzel is now in charge
of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners. Monzel will serve as
president, while former president Greg Hartmann has stepped down to vice
president. Monzel says public safety will be his No. 1 concern.
City Council may vote today on a plan to build the first freestanding public restroom, and it may be coming at a lower cost. City Manager Milton Dohoney said last week that the restroom could cost $130,000 with $90,000 going to the actual restroom facility, but Councilman Seelbach says the city might be able to secure the facility for about $40,000.
Tomorrow, county commissioners may vote on policy regarding the Metropolitan Sewer District. Commissioners have been looking into ending a responsible bidder policy, which they say is bad for businesses. But Councilman Seelbach argues the policy ensures job training is part of multi-billion dollar sewer programs. Board President Monzel and Seelbach are working on a compromise the city and county can agree on.
The Hamilton County Board of Elections is prepared to refer five cases of potential voter fraud from the Nov. 6 election. The board is also investigating about two dozen more voters' actions for potential criminal charges.
King's Island is taking job applications for 4,000 full- and part-time positions.
Ohio may soon link teacher pay to quality. Gov. John Kasich says his funding plan for schools will "empower," not require, schools to attach teacher compensation to student success. A previous study suggested the scheme, also known as "merit pay," might be a good idea.
An economist says Ohio's home sales will soon be soaring.
Debe Terhar will continue as the Board of Education president, with Tom Gunlock staying as vice president.
Equal rights for women everywhere could save the world, say two Stanford biologists. Apparently, giving women more rights makes it so they have less children, which biologists Paul R. and Anne Ehrlich say will stop humanity from overpopulating the world.
Ever wanted to eat like a caveman? I'm sure someone out there does. Well, here is how.
Mitt Romney's big loss is finally getting to Ohio Republicans. Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus made procedural moves to block the heartbeat bill from a vote before the end of the lame-duck session. Niehaus, a Republican, said his decision was largely influenced by Romney's loss on Nov. 6. When the heartbeat bill was originally proposed, it was labeled the most radical anti-abortion bill in the country. It banned abortion as soon as a heartbeat was detected, which can happen six weeks into pregnancy. It made no exceptions for rape, incest or the health of the mother. CityBeat recently wrote about the GOP's renewed anti-abortion agenda, but if Republicans begin taking lessons from the most recent election, the renewed agenda will never come to light.
The Ohio House of Representatives approved Cincinnati's tougher school report card standards. An early simulation of the proposed system in May showed Cincinnati Public Schools would drop from the second-best rating of "Effective" under the current system to a D-, with 23 schools flunking and Walnut Hills High School retaining its top mark with an A. The bill will also impose more regulations and oversight on charter schools. As part of the overall reform, the state is replacing its standardized tests, but some Democrats are worried the new tests and system will be too tough on schools.
Standard & Poor's is not optimistic about Cincinnati. The firm gave the city's debt rating a negative outlook due to structural budget problems. City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. says ratings firms are looking for spending cuts or revenue growth from Cincinnati to achieve structurally balanced budgets in the next two years, but Dohoney's most recent budget proposal largely balances the deficit with a one-time source from privatizing parking services. On the other hand, pursuing austerity during a weak economic recovery is a bad idea.
The Cincinnati Fire Department says it doesn't have enough personnel to man fire trucks. The problem is only getting worse as retirements increase, according to Fire Chief Richard Braun.
The University of Cincinnati's campus was ranked among the most dangerous in the country.
Ohio has some of the lowest graduation rates in the Midwest. Low-income, black and Hispanic students are all much less likely to graduate than their wealthier and white peers.
Gov. John Kasich met with college and university leaders today to discuss higher education. After the meeting, Kasich and the leaders suggested attaching state funding to graduation rates, among other reforms.
It looks like Ohio's financial institutions tax bill will make it through the Ohio Senate without major changes. The bill was already passed by the Ohio House. A memo from nonprofit research organization Policy Matters Ohio recommended making changes so the bill cuts tax loopholes without cutting rates on big banks. Zach Schiller, research director from Policy Matters, said in the memo, "Big banks aren't better banks, as their role in the recent financial crisis made clear. It is questionable policy for the state to favor them with lower rates."
It's official: Cincinnati is "cougar capital of Ohio."

NASA confirmed the presence of ice water on Mercury.
The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber released its positions on this November's ballot issues. The chamber supports the Cincinnati Public Schools tax levy and Hamilton County mental health and services levy, but it does not support extending City Council's terms to four years. The chamber also opposes Issue 2, which would place the redistricting process in the hands of an independent citizens commission instead of a commission run by politicians. The chamber said it opposes Issue 2 partially because it excludes "some Ohioans" from the redistricting process. The excluded Ohioans are lobbyists and politicians, who have a vested interest in redrawing district boundaries in politically advantageous ways in a process known as "gerrymandering." In Cincinnati's district, the district was redrawn by the Republican-controlled commission to include Warren County, which puts more emphasis on the rural vote that tends to vote Republican instead of the urban vote that tends to vote Democrat. CityBeat previously covered the redistricting issue here and here.
Related to Issue 2, the controversial ballot language that was approved by the state seems to be weighing down the amendment. Public Policy Polling said voters are confused by the ballot initiative.Ohio State Auditor Dave Yost found Value Learning and Teaching (VLT) Academy, a charter school in downtown Cincinnati, to be wasteful and unethical. According to a state audit, the school had multiple instances in the 2010-2011 school year in which it made excessive payments in possible conflicts of interest.
In another audit, Yost also criticized his own political party. Yost found the Ohio Republican Party accepted prohibited contributions and improperly spent money.A recent police chase that resulted in a crash and the the injury of minors is coming under scrutiny. The cop involved was found to be in violation of department procedure.
Even though he resigned abruptly, the University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees is considering separation payments for former UC President Greg Williams. Board Chairman Fran Barrett says the payments will tie up "loose ends" and buyout Williams' tenure.Gov. John Kasich is asking public colleges to collaborate on a funding formula. He says the schools should have a better idea than the state government of what they need. The schools previously collaborated on a construction wishlist, which apparently impressed Kasich.
A proposed state policy will force schools to keep better
track of who is kept in seclusion rooms and for how long, but the
details will be closed to the public.
The fired Democrats suing Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted will be getting their day in court. Yesterday, a federal judge agreed to a hearing on Sept. 21. The fired Democrats are suing Husted after he dismissed them for attempting to extend in-person early voting, which broke Husted's uniform rules on voting hours.
