Brittle bones for Canada's aging junk-food generation
If you think junk food goes directly onto your hips, you're right. But it gets worse. It gets into your hips, and into other bones in the body, too.
Food that is high in fat and sugar robs the skeleton of the building blocks it needs to grow and remain strong to ward off degenerative conditions like osteoporosis.
There are two mechanisms for this bone robbery.
First, a diet high in saturated fats and sugar blocks ingested calcium from being absorbed, so it excretes in the urine. Thus, the calcium needed for healthy bones washes through the body and is lost.
Second, saturated fats tend to form insoluble 'soaps,' which coat the intestines. This coating becomes a barrier to the calcium bones need. Thus, the calcium from the cheese on a burger will pass through the intestines mainly unused.
The picture is not pretty. Junk food layers fat onto a skeleton that it weakens of the ability to support the extra weight.
Approximately two million Canadians suffer from osteoporosis, a disease known as the 'silent thief' because, with no symptoms, it robs the bone of tissue leaving it with thousands of tiny pores. Porous bones can break with little stress.
Women are particularly at risk, with a rate of osteoporosis twice that of men. One in four women in Canada over 50 has osteoporosis. One in three women over 65 will suffer a hip fracture. About 20 per cent of hip fractures related to osteoporosis will result in death.
Treating osteoporosis and related fractures costs Canada's public health system an estimated $1.9 billion per year.
Your diet can be an enemy or an ally in your battle against osteoporosis.
A growing child, near puberty and rapidly laying down new bone, could optimize his or her bone growth and accumulation by eating healthy foods and being physically active. The more bone developed, the lower the chance of fractures from osteoporosis later in life. Parents and grandparents, however, are past the stage of building bone. By following a healthy diet, being physically active and, if necessary, taking medication to slow bone loss, they can reduce their likelihood of fractures from osteoporosis.
A healthy diet is balanced and includes a variety of foods -- vegetables, fruits and whole grains -- and foods low in saturated fats, salt and sugar.
Maintaining a healthy diet, however, is not just about knowing which foods to select. It's also about managing the environment that influences food choices. In this area, we have options.
We can strictly limit the transfat levels in food products and ban, as California has, transfats in restaurants. Or we can require, as New York City has, that calorie counts be posted on menu boards in the same font size as price. We could also eliminate unhealthy foods in vending machines and at cafeterias in schools, recreational centres and hospitals.
Baby boomers were the first generation to grow up on fast food, and they have created a dietary legacy of high fat and sugar. Today, 1,600,000 Canadian children are obese or overweight -- more than one of every four children.
Boomers themselves have reached the stage in life when they are most susceptible to bone and joint disorders.
But while concerns have been expressed about early onset of cardiovascular illness and diabetes from a high fat and sugar diet, scant attention has been paid to the exposure of millions of people to significantly increased risk of osteoporosis, premature joint wear and other skeletal conditions that can silently rob them of their health.
We can turn the tide, but we need to put measures in place now to protect our bones and in the process, improve our overall health.

Dr. Tina Bloom, an animal psychologist who led the research, suggested this might be because dog owners were more likely to convince themselves that a dog isn't being truly aggressive, but just playful.

Gardner Pie feeding Midwest one happy customer at a time
By CINDY LADAGE
Illinois Correspondent
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — As attendees of the Illinois Specialty Crop Conference earlier this year waded into the lunch crowd, they bellied up to the Gardner Pie Co. stand, where Paul Lesko was offering samples.
Lesko, company representative, explained its tagline is "Refreshingly Old Fashioned" and it makes pies like "you would make, if you had the time."
The company is family-owned and started in 1945 in Akron, Ohio. It produces a variety of apple pies as well as berry pies, including blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, lemon blueberry, cherry, red raspberry, strawberry and strawberry rhubarb.
There's also apricot, apricot-orange, peach, peach-blueberry, peach melba, peach praline, pineapple and pineapple upside down. Specialty pies include mince, pumpkin, raisin, Southern pecan, sweet potato and sweet potato crunch.
While there was a multitude of samples to choose from, Lesko said the customer favorite is apple. "Fresh apples are used in the apple pie, and they are our best seller; the second best is the apple caramel walnut pie … We also have several versions of cherry pie.
"We use natural sugars, the juice mixes with the sugars to create the fillings, and we have no artificial preservatives."
Besides the traditional pie types, Gardner also sells Colonial Apple pies, which have the look of a turnover and what the company deems a "rustic look." These Colonial pies weigh in at a whopping four pounds and feature Ida red apples.
Gardner pie dough is mixed in 200-pound quantities, Lesko said, keeping it small for a flaky crust. Gardner only makes pies and the fruit is never fully cooked until the pie is baked. All pies are shrink-wrapped before shipment.
"We buy Michigan cherries and a number of fruits from Michigan, like apples," he added. "We buy Maine blueberries and California peaches. We generally go where the optimum crop would be.
"Pies have a huge emotional tie, especially for Americans. My grandpa came from Hungary and they taught him on the ship how to say, 'cup of coffee' and 'apple pie' because it was cheap and everybody had it – if you could say it, you wouldn't starve."

There are and always have been quite a few male celebrity impressionists throughout the years, but you don't always hear women doing a multitude of impressions. So when I found this video of the very beautiful and talented Lauren O'Brien nailing a number of well-known celebrity impressions I just had to share it
Anyone who watches 'The Walking Dead' knows that the city is looking pretty ragged by now. Buildings are falling down and green is taking over the city. But you don't realize how dramatic that change is until you see the actual progression. Cool and creepy!
As a Nobel in the Anah Shrine in Bangor, I have so much fun doing so much good for Children! And as we all know, Christmas truly is for kids!! That's why putting together the tree for the Anah Shrine's Feztival of Trees is so much fun, but it wouldn't be possible without the help of many super people! So, if you're attending this years Feztival of Trees...here is a list of what is on this years tree for one lucky person to win!

A few are embarrassing, many are pretty hot, and one or two are jaw-dropping. Taste of Country asked over two dozen country stars who their celebrity crushes are, and while a few of the same names kept popping up -- Jennifer Aniston, beware -- most of the answers were as varied as the artists.
An amazing photo out of upstate New York shows first responders carrying a patient 10 blocks to a hospital. There was so much snow that their ambulance couldn't make the trip.
In a new interview, Kenny Chesney takes issue with country songs that "objectify" women, and now fellow country star Clay Walker has responded to those comments.

NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.
NOV 21 Here's a weird one: The Louisiana Cannabis Industry Association has endorsed Bill Cassidy for the U.S. Senate. Apparently, Mary Landrieu said she wouldn't consider support of medical marijuana but Cassidy said he would, WWL reports here.
NOV 21 Solange Knowles, possibly best-known for assaulting her brother-in-law in an elevator while wearing an ugly dress after the Met Ball, got married in the Marigny Opera House this past weekend, the New York Times reports here. Knowles, who has a house in the Faubourg Marigny district and owns a boutique in the Quarter, married Alan Ferguson.
NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

Originally written on hardballchat.com | Last updated 11/16/14
The Detroit Tigers took the crown for the second season in a row and they advanced one step further in 2012 than they did in 2011. Unfortunately, that is not enough for an owner that is approaching his 90s. They made the decision to bring Jim Leyland back, but that is only the beginning in a division that could become more competitive in 2013. The White Sox came close last season. Let's see if anyone else can surprise in 2013. Detroit Tigers The coaching staff will return in 2013 and it appears as if some major decisions have already been made. Jose Valverde and Delmon Young will not be returning in 2013. That cuts somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million dollars from the payroll. Additionally. they will have Victor Martinez returning to the lineup as the primary designated hitter. If he produces as he has done in the past then this will be one of the top five offenses in baseball. If the Tigers can manage to re-sign Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez they will return one of the deeper lineups and rotations in the American League. Unfortunately, their bullpen is another story. Octavio Dotel will return and Phil Coke did a good job in the playoffs subbing for the ineffective Valverde, but a collection of relievers that includes Joaquin Benoit and Al Alburquerque is not enough to get through a post season. The Tigers might have to let either Sanchez or Infante go in favor of a proven closer. The question is where that closer is going to come from since there are few on the free agent market. Chicago White Sox The Sox decided to bring most of their rotation back as they re-signed Jake Peavy and picked up Gavin Floyd's option. They will pair with Chris Sale and John Danks to give the White Sox four solid starters in their rotation. Francisco Liriano is a free agent and he was shaky down the stretch for the White Sox. Of course, he has been shaky for most of the past three seasons. Jose Quintana made a solid debut and Phillip Humber is still hanging around as well. I would expect Liriano to sign elsewhere. Additionally, the club declined the option on Kevin Youkilis's contract, so he will test the free agent market as well. The problem for the White Sox has been that while they have several good players, they have some key positions that are manned by woefully inadequate players. A.J. Pierzynski had a banner season, but he was one of those players as recently as 2011. Will they give into his demands or will they allow someone else to bite on his amazing 2012 campaign? That leaves catcher, second base, and third base as significant question marks coming into the offseason. Add in the back end of the bullpen and you have a busy offseason for Kenny Williams. Kansas City Royals This is as high as the Royals have finished in over a decade. They are a tale of two teams. The lineup side of the equation is on the rise. If they can swallow Jeff Francouer's contract they can let Wil Myers take over in right field and perhaps contribute the last piece to an already impressive puzzle. Billy Butler and Mike Moustakas took steps forward this season and Alcides Escobar played out of his mind offensively. Add in Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez and you already have the makings of a very good offense. If Eric Hosmer lives up to his potential then this team will be the next powerhouse in the AL Central. Then, there is the pitching staff. Jonathan Sanchez was a flop. So, the Royals doubled down yesterday by picking up Erwin Santana from the Angels yesterday. He was virtually in the same situation as Sanchez. If he pitches well and if they bring back Jeremy Guthrie they could become the Baltimore Orioles of 2013. Cleveland Indians They used to be a model franchise, but they've become a mess almost overnight. Their starting rotation became a joke in the second half, but the pieces are there for them to compete again. They have to get Ubaldo Jimenez to live up to his massive potential. If Justin Masterson can pitch like he did in 2011 rather than last season then they could compete again. Plus, they have the artist formerly known as Fausto Carmona. Still, some or all of those guys may not be around once the dust settles. They must find four or five productive starting pitchers somewhere. Getting another decent bullpen piece wouldn't hurt either, but they may use closer Chris Perez as a bargaining chip to bring in some of that starting pitching they most desperately need. Minnesota Twins Terry Ryan has done some good things with this team. Josh Willingham, Ryan Doumit, and Jamey Carroll were all solid additions. The problem is that there is nothing on the pitching side of the equation. They have gotten two top five draft picks in a row and organizations can build themselves up with a couple of solid drafts, but they need to start competing before they lose all of that momentum from Target Field. So, Ryan must add at least two or three credible starting pitchers before this thing starts to slide away from him. Late inning relief help wouldn't hurt either, but the question is where the budget is there for him to add all of these things. If it isn't then he is going to have to be creative and deal guys like Denard Span. The post MLB 2013 Offseason: AL Central appeared first on Hardball Chat Baseball Blog.

Recent changes to 2006: Tab bar order bughttp://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/bugs/2006/2013-01-06T20:11:14Z#2006 Tab bar order bug2013-01-06T20:11:14Z2013-01-06T20:11:14ZPekka Pöyryhttp://sourceforge.net/u/quaol/http://sourceforge.net302aa7d444f152c852ef1354b89a3af08050c1fd

I can reproduce this bug with current version of NP++.

When you press mouse down over inactive tab, NP++ thinks that you are going to drag that tab. Because mouse down activates that tab, tab is moved to the lowest level. This causes new tab to appear under you mouse and NP++ tries to swap them. This swap causes active tab to go to upper level and this causes NP++ to try to move it back to the lowest level.

This same problem is also visible without multi-line tab bar. Make two tabs, where left side tab has very short name and right side tab has long name. Now try to slowly drag left side tab over right side tab. When you mouse reaches right side tab NP++ starts to swap these tabs very fast.

In some other programs tab's hit area won't be updated during dragging. This is one way to solve this problem, but it isn't necessarily easy thing to do.

Solving this bug will probably also solve this other bug:

Tab bar order bug2009-04-29T05:01:07Z2009-04-29T05:01:07ZNutznieserhttp://sourceforge.net/u/nutznieser/http://sourceforge.net25a71315eb8e823d658d80dfbefa3971ddb9e0d8If you do follow steps, bug in tab order occurs: 1\. Configurate tab bar as Multi-line AND allow drag and drop in tab bar. 2\. Than open any files, so that you have more than one line in tab bar. 3\. If you now select a tab in one line and after that in another line, the tab order be jumbled. Quaint is, if you dont't allow drag and drop in configuration, the tab order keep correct. HarryH

Compatable and remanufactured Epson Ink Cartridges
Likes # 0
Posted June 26, 2012 at 4:54PM
I have an Epson Stylus SXC400 M.F.D. and have used alternative inks. Recently I wished to replace the yellow, but eventually was forded to replace all cartridges before the printer would accept them. I think a lot of my (cheap) ink was wasted. My question - is there a difference between re manufactured and compatable cartridges. Will my printer more readily accept the re-manufactured ones, as the printer might "recognise them. Glen

Compatible = new but not made by the printer manufacturer Re-manufactured = old cartridges re-filled with ink and chips reset if needed

Many printers appear to insist on a complete set of cartridges when only one is exhausted, but I believe you should be able to replace only one. Have a look at the SSC Service Utility it may well help you.

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 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.

Facing tight budgets, Ohio schools, including Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), are considering open enrollment.
The move would open school doors to neighboring communities. It was
previously considered by CPS a decade ago, but the plan didn't have
enough support from the district's board. It might now.
Next year could be challenging for Ohio schools. Butler County schools will begin the year by implementing a transition to the Common Core Curriculum, new evaluations for teachers and a new method of rating and grading schools. The state is also expected to change the school funding formula.
seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate remained relatively flat at 6.9
percent in November, according to data from the Ohio Department of Jobs
and Family Services. The city's unemployment did not tick up or down
from the 6.9 percent rate in October, but about 1,300 dropped out from
the civilian labor force as it shrank from 145,600 in October to 144,300
in November. Hamilton County also remained flat at 6.3 percent as 3,500
left the labor force. Greater Cincinnati ticked up to 6.2 percent from
6.1 percent, with about 6,900 leaving the labor force between October
and November. In comparison, the state had a seasonally unadjusted rate
of 6.5 percent and nation had a seasonally unadjusted rate of 7.4
percent in November. Unemployment numbers are calculated through a
household survey. The unemployment rate gauges the amount of unemployed
people looking for work in contrast to the total civilian labor force.
Since the numbers are derived from surveys, they are often revised in
later months. Federal and state numbers are typically adjusted for
seasonal factors.
Police in Kentucky are now using playing cards to catch suspects. Trooper Michael Webb says the effort has helped crack three out of 52 cases so far. That may not seem like a lot, but Webb puts it in perspective: "Two of the cases were double homicides so that's four families that have gotten closure and have had some kind of ability to deal with the situation. The third one was a single murder and obviously that family has been able to have closure. So we've got five families that have been able to have closure as a result of this initiative."

On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, House Health and Aging Chairman Lynn Watchman said anti-abortion legislation could come back in the current legislative session. That includes the heartbeat bill, which would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, and a plan to defund Planned Parenthood. CityBeat wrote about the anti-abortion legislation last time Ohio Republicans tried to bring it up here.
One Ohio Now, a group focused on the state budget, has a few requests
for Gov. John Kasich. They don't want an income tax cut when the
revenue could be used to expand Medicaid and raise school funding. In other states, a Medicaid expansion correlated with better health results, and one study found expanding Medicaid could save Ohio money. More school funding could also make up for the last budget's massive cuts to education, which are explained on a county-by-county basis at Cuts Hurt Ohio.
While the state government is tearing down solar power initiatives, Cincinnati is working to update Green Cincinnati. Environmental Quality Director Larry Falkin told WVXU, "We're broadening the plan to be not just focused on climate protection, but more broadly on all areas of sustainability." He added, "It's going to show us how Cincinnatians can live a better lifestyle using less resources." The plan was originally drafted in 2007 and adopted a year later to prepare the city for changing environmental realities.

In a memo to the mayor and City Council members last night, City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. revealed the streetcar is facing a $22.7 million shortfall because construction bids were way over budget. The memo says $5.3 million of that budget gap could be brought down through cuts, but fixing the rest requires $17.4 million in additional funds. The memo comes at a time the city is attempting to balance its operating budget by laying off cops and firefighters. But as John Deatrick explained when the city moved to hire him for the streetcar project, the streetcar is part of the capital budget, which is separate from the operating budget and can't be used to balance the operating budget because of legal and traditional constraints.
The budget bill heading to the Ohio House floor would ban comprehensive sex education, defund Planned Parenthood and fund crisis pregnancy centers that pro-choice groups consider "anti-choice." Citing "gateway sexual activity," the bill would open teachers to up to $5,000 in fines for explaining the use of condoms and other birth control to students, and it also bans the distribution of any birth control on school grounds. The bill takes its anti-contraceptive measures to promote an abstinence-only education program. Research has found abstinence-only programs to be generally ineffective, while birth control programs ultimately save money by avoiding costly pregnancies and sexually transmitted infection treatment.
Councilman Cecil Thomas is stepping down, and he will be replaced by his wife of 32 years, Pam Thomas. The appointment has raised questions about how council members are replaced upon resignation, but Thomas says he's just following the rules. Under the current system, designees appoint successors to council seats, but the designees give great weight to the incumbent's input.
JobsOhio repaid $8.4 million to Ohio yesterday — fulfilling a promise it made in March that it would fully repay the state for public funding received since it opened on July 5, 2011. The sum is much higher than the $1 million state officials originally said would go to the agency. JobsOhio's finances came under criticism after it was revealed that Gov. John Kasich was redirecting public funds to the agency, prompting a closer look from State Auditor Dave Yost. JobsOhio is a privatized development agency that Kasich and Republicans established to eventually replace the Ohio Department of Development.
In light of the Boston Marathon bombings, Flying Pig Marathon organizers are evaluating security measures, but they're not sure whether additional measures are needed just yet. The Flying Pig Marathon is expected to draw more than 20,000 participants on May 5 — close to the 23,000 who typically attend the Boston Marathon. Still, only about 150,000 spectators are expected at the Flying Pig Marathon, while about 500,000 typically spectate the Boston Marathon.

The Ohio Department of Education is caught in a bit of a mess. This morning, the state auditor's office announced it would be conducting a probe into the Ohio Department of Education over school test and attendance data. Yesterday, Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction Stan Heffner said the Ohio Department of Education will be investigating more schools for possible instances of fraudulent data reporting. The superintendent's announcement came on the same day Lockland School Districts were found to be reporting false attendance data for better test results.

While fact checking an interview, CityBeat discovered it will be possible to circumvent the parking plan's cap on meter rate increases through a multilayer process that involves approval from a special committee, the city manager and the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority. The process adds a potential loophole to one of the city manager's main defenses against fears of skyrocketing rates, but Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, says raising the cap requires overcoming an extensive series of hurdles: unanimous approval from a board with four members appointed by the Port Authority and one selected by the city manager, affirmation from the city manager and a final nod from the Port Authority. Olberding says the process is necessary in case anything changes during the 30-year time span of the parking deal, which CityBeat covered in detail here.
Democratic mayoral candidate John Cranley launched DontSellCincinnati.org to prevent the city manager's parking plan, which semi-privatizes the city's parking assets. The website claims the plan gives for-profit investment companies power over enforcement, guarantees 3-percent rate increases every year and blows through all the money raised in two years. The plan does task a private company with enforcement, but it will be handled by Xerox, not a financial firm, and must follow standards set in the company's agreement with the Port Authority. While the plan does allow 3-percent rate increases each year, Olberding says the Port Authority will have the power to refuse an increase — meaning it's not a guarantee.
Arnol Elam, the Franklin City Schools superintendent who sent an angry letter to Gov. John Kasich over his budget plan, is no longer being investigated for misusing county resources after he paid $539 in restitution. CityBeat covered Elam's letter, which told parents and staff about regressive funding in Kasich's school funding proposal, and other parts of the governor's budget in an in-depth cover story.
To the surprise of no one, Ohio's oil lobby is still against Kasich's tax plan, which raises a 4 percent severance tax on oil and wet gas from high-producing fracking wells and a 1 percent tax on dry gas.
Local faith leaders from a diversity of religious backgrounds held a press conference yesterday to endorse the Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment, an amendment from FreedomOhio that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Pastor Mike Underhill of the Nexus United Church of Christ (UCC) in Butler County, Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp of Temple Sholom, Pamela Taylor of Muslims for Progressive Values and Mike Moroski, who recently lost his job as assistant principal at Purcell Marian High School for standing up for LGBT rights all attended the event. CityBeat covered the amendment and its potential hurdles for getting on the 2013 ballot here.
Vanessa White, a member of the Cincinnati Public Schools board, is running for City Council. White is finishing her first four-year term at the board after winning the seat handily in 2009. She has said she wants to stop the streetcar project, but she wants to increase collaboration between the city and schools and create jobs for younger people.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles' (BMV) policy on providing driver's licenses to the children of illegal immigrants remains unclear. Since CityBeat broke the story on the BMV policy, the agency has shifted from internally pushing against driver's licenses for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to officially "reviewing guidance from the federal government as it applies to Ohio law." DACA is an executive order from President Barack Obama that allows the children of illegal immigrants to qualify for permits that enable them to remain in the United States without fear of prosecution.

scientists say debates typically have little-to-no electoral impact. In
aggregate polling, Obama is up 2.2 points in Ohio and Romney is up 0.3 points nationally. Ohio is considered a must-win for Romney, and it could play the role of 2000's Florida. The debate begins at 9 p.m. It will be streamed live on YouTube and C-SPAN.

If Gov. John Kasich gets his way, 60 percent of bachelor's
degrees will be completable in three years by 2014. The move intends to
raise graduation rates and save money for students. Currently, very few
students graduate in three years. Only 1 percent of Miami University
students and 2 percent of University of Cincinnati students graduate
that quickly.
Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee, a new education
policy approved by Kasich that requires all students to be proficient in
reading in third grade before they can move onto fourth grade, could
cause 40 percent of students to be held back in some schools.
The policy is meant to encourage better progress and higher reading standards, but some studies
have found retention has negative effects on children.

New York City mayoral candidates see Cincinnati Public Schools' (CPS) community learning centers as a model for their city's schools. The centers bring members of the community, including dental clinics, mental health therapists and mentors from local banks and churches, to a school hub to keep students engaged after traditional classroom hours end. But an analysis from The New York Times also finds that progress has been fairly modest, with some schools in the district still struggling and graduation and attendance rates showing little sign of improvement. Still, CPS officials argue the initiative has helped mitigate the effects of poverty and hunger in the classroom. CityBeat covered CPS and its community learning centers back in October here.
The city of Cincinnati could take control of the Emery Theatre following a legal dispute between the Requiem Project, a nonprofit seeking to renovate the theater, and the University of Cincinnati, Emery Center Apartments Limited Partnership and the Emery Center Corporation, the group of leasers and owners trying to push Requiem out of the building. Requiem stated in a letter Friday that it would approve of the city taking over the building, a possibility currently being analyzed by Cincinnati's legal team. CityBeat first covered the Emery Theater situation in further detail here.
SoMoLend, the local startup and city partner that connects small businesses seeking loans and lenders, is being accused of fraud by the state of Ohio. The charges could force the high-profile business to shut down; for the time being, it's not giving out any loans in the state. In December, the city of Cincinnati teamed up with SoMoLend in a partnership that was meant to land local small businesses and startups much-needed loans through crowdfunding.
Ohio will spend $6.2 million this fiscal year to combat gambling addictions. With casinos, racinos and gambling generally expanding in Ohio, the state government is directing more money to county mental health and addiction boards to ensure problem gamblers are treated.
The two officers who were on the clock when death row inmate Billy Slagle hung himself have been put on paid administrative leave while the Ohio prisons department investigates what happened. Slagle was convicted of murder and sentenced to death — a punishment the Ohio Parole Board and Gov. John Kasich upheld in July despite pleas from a county prosecutor — but he hung himself days before he was supposed to be executed. CityBeat covered Slagle's case in further detail here.

Vice President Joe Biden will make a stop at
Cincinnati this weekend. Cincinnati has quickly become a pivotal part of
the presidential election. Ohio is widely considered to be a must-win for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. However, polling in Ohio has consistently favored President Barack Obama and Biden in the past few months, although Romney did receive a decent bump in Ohio during and after the Republican National Convention. A similar bump could come for Obama and Biden after the Democratic National Convention, which ended last night. Last week, Romney was also in Cincinnati. CityBeat covered Romney's rally here.
The national economy added 96,000 jobs in August, pushing the unemployment rate down to 8.1 percent. The amount of jobs added is less than economists expected, even though it does signify some good news.Ohio may delay its new letter grading system for schools. The system is a lot tougher on schools and school districts than the previous system.

President Barack Obama will visit Cincinnati Monday. No
details were given for the event. Last time Obama was in
Cincinnati, he held a town hall meeting to tout his support for small
businesses and the LGBT community. Ohio is considered a vital swing
state for the presidential election, and it's widely considered a
must-win for Republican candidate Mitt Romney. However, after the
Democratic National Convention, aggregate polling at FiveThirtyEight and
RealClearPolitics hugely favors Obama, establishing many paths for the
Democrat to clinch the presidency. Obama could lose Ohio, Virginia and
Florida and still win the election, which shows how many options he has to victory.
The 2013 Hamilton County budget process is "challenging," says Commissioner Greg Hartmann. He says the county is dealing with a $200 million budget instead of the $300 million budget of six years ago, which is presenting new problems. Hamilton County Sheriff Si Leis said budget cuts could lead to up to 500 jail bed cuts. CityBeat previously covered the county commissioners' inability to tackle challenging budget issues — sometimes at the cost of the taxpayer.
State Auditor Dave Yost says his investigation into attendance fraud at Ohio schools could last well into the year. The investigation, which began after Lockland Schools in Hamilton County were found of attendance fraud, is slowed down by the state's data-reporting system, according to Yost. Schools may falsely alter their attendance reports to improve grades in the state report card.Secretary of State Jon Husted has been sued again. This time he's being sued by the Democratic Montgomery County election officials he fired. The officials tried to expand in-person early voting hours in Montgomery County to include weekend voting, but the move violated Husted's call for uniform hours across the state.
The Ohio EPA will host a workshop in Cincinnati on Sept. 25. The workshop will focus on the Ohio Clean Fund and other tools and incentives to help individuals and groups embrace clean energy.
For the first time since December, Ohio's tax collections were lower than expected. The state was $43 million below estimates in August.
A study found wind power could meet the world's energy needs. Wind currently supplies 4.1 percent of the United States' energy needs. Obama greatly boosted the production of wind energy with tax credits. Romney vowed to repeal the tax credits in a brief moment of substance.

|Allen Township
Allen Township is one of the fourteen townships of Union County, Ohio, United States. The 2000 census found 1,518 people in the township.[3]
Statewide, other Allen Townships are located in Darke, Hancock, and Ottawa Counties.[4]
Allen Township was organized on June 5, 1827.[5] The town was named for Daniel Allen, one of the first settlers to the area. Allen was one of the first thirteen citizens to vote in the township, and was one of the first trustees.[5]
One of the township's first settlers was Angus Clark; his son Shepard became a leading farmer in the township, and the Clark family property is today a local landmark known as "The Fort".[6]
Located in the western part of the county, it borders the following townships:
- Liberty Township - north
- Paris Township - east
- Union Township - southeast
- Rush Township, Champaign County - southwest
- Zane Township, Logan County - west
No municipalities are located in Allen Township.
The median income for a household in the town was $94,156 in 2008. In 1999, the median income for a household was $80,359.[7]
The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer,[8] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees.

Our goal is the acquisition, restoration, display, and operation of antique and vintage aircraft from the Golden Age of Flight, roughly 1920 to 1940. The aircraft are displayed in four hangers. The inventory changes regularly as restorations are completed and new additions are acquired. The museum is a not-for-profit educational institution.
A few of the planes in the collection have an extensive motion picture and TV background. Visit our website for details, photos and special event schedules. The Museum's aircraft do fly from time to time, but there is no set schedule. However, the airport is also home to about thirty other antique and classic planes that are owned and operated by private individuals. Feel free to wonder the grounds but Do Not Drive Vehicles or Bicycles past the parking lot. Step into the main office building and ask for assistance.
Located at Creve Coeur Airport. Stop by for a guided tour of the museum's hangers — you will not be disappointed.
Admission: $10 ~ ages 5-12, $5 ~ younger than 5, free.

Screenwriter Eric Roth reminds the Los Angeles Times' John Horn that he wrote the script for the upcoming CIA-themed movie "The Good Shepherd" well before the agency would be found to be running covert prisons and allegedly torturing terrorism suspects. The pic, which opens Dec. 22, dramatizes the early days of the CIA in the 1940s and 50s through the eyes of agent Edward Wilson, played by Matt Damon. He's the fictional character but based on counterintelligence specialist James Angleton and others. "I wrote this 12 years ago," Roth says. "The movie is not supposed to reflect anything politically." Nevertheless, Horn writes that Roth and director Robert DeNiro added a scene not in the shooting script where CIA agents waterboard a suspect. Vice President Dick Cheney recently said its use in interrogations was a "no brainer," a comment that has been used against the White House on the campaign trail. Meanwhile, TNT is producing its own project about the CIA's battles with the KGB during the 50s, this one called "The Company" and starring Chris O'Donnell and Michael Keaton.

No words from me. Just an image. Enjoy.
This week's tragedy in Boston has reminded us that while there is plenty of evil in the world, good triumphs all. The country has rallied behind Boston to show our support and love, and various companies have joined in as well.
Adidas announced that it plans to sell a limited-edition t-shirt to benefit the victims of Monday's attack. The "Boston Stands as One" shirt retails for $26.20 and is being sold on the Adidas website. The company is donating 100% of the proceeds to The One Fund Boston Inc. [UPDATE: The shirt is now sold out, but the company plans to produce more.]
It makes sense that Adidas is leading this initiative. After all, the company has sponsored the Boston Marathon for the past 25 years. It's great to see them extend that support in other ways.

April is National Volunteer Month and there are plenty of ways that you can get out and give back. After coming across a list of NYC spring volunteer opportunities, I decided to create one for Chicago. Ideally, I thought about doing one for all of springtime, but I think that a monthly guide is easier to digest!
I present to you four opportunities that caught my eye. Check them out below!
The Glass Slipper Project
Prom season is right around the corner and The Glass Slipper Project wants to make sure that girls in the Chicagoland area have gorgeous gowns to wear on their big night. Volunteers are needed to help the girls as they "shop" for their dress, accessories, and makeup. Also, if you have alteration skills, your help is needed as well!
Dates: Saturday, April 20 and Saturday, April 27
How to sign up: Check out the various volunteer opps here and sign up for whichever one fits your schedule!
USOLE 4 Miler Race to Stop MS
Runners in Universal Sole 4 Mile Classic will take a lap around the park at Lakeshore East to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Greater Illinois Chapter (one of my favorite orgs)!
Date: Thursday, April 25
How to sign up: Register through the MS Society's website here.
Healthy Kids Day at the Lakeview YMCA
Each spring, YMCAs across the country take part in YMCA Healthy Kids Day. It's an opportunity for families to spend fun time together while improving their health. One Brick Chicago is getting a team of volunteers together to set up, help with registration, run games, serve healthy snacks, and more.
Date: Saturday, April 27
How to sign up: Register on the One Brick site here.
Repacking Sessions with the Greater Chicago Food Depository
The repacking sessions at the Food Depository top my list of favorite service projects. For a few hours, you'll help GFCD staff break down thousands of pounds of donated food into smaller portions that can be distributed to food banks and partner agencies for families. This Wednesday night session is still open and can be slotted in after work!
Date: Wednesday, 4/17 (6-9pm)
How to sign up: You can RSVP for this session online.
Are there any other cool service opportunities that I should know about? Post in the comments below or tweet them to me using the hashtag #FabVolunteer.
Can't wait to hear from you!
No words from me. Just an image. Enjoy.
From colorful bangles with a charitable twist to an inspirational read, here are five things that I'm loving this week.
Baseball season is back and I am so ready to root root root for the White Sox! While on the website this morning, I learned about the White Sox Volunteer Corps that consists of fans and players. The team created the Corps in response to Sox Fan-in-Chief President Obama's call for Americans to better their communities through service. What's so cool about this is that everyone from the staff to the players link up with folks like me to make a lasting impact within the community. Past projects have supported the Greater Chicago Food Depository and the American Red Cross.
More than 5,400 Sox fans and community-focused Chicagoans have signed up for the Volunteer Corps since its inception and GUESS WHAT? I just signed up and am anxiously awaiting the first project of the season. If you're a fellow Sox fan looking to make a difference, all you have to do is sign up here.
Just another reason to cheer on Chicago's BEST baseball team. Does your favorite team have a similar volunteer initiative?
No words from me. Just an image. Enjoy.
Target has announced that it is teaming up with FEED for a capsule collection that will hit stores on June 30. The collection will include more than 50 stylish products to benefit Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. The ultimate goal? Provide 10 million 10 million meals to Americans in need.
Co-designed by FEED Founder Lauren Bush Lauren, each piece ranges in price from $3 to $400, and will display the number of meals donated to Feeding America as a result of the purchase.
Want to learn more about the collection and even get a sneak peek? Check out the video below.
None of us can move forward if half of us are held back.
Today, it was announced that Beyoncé, Salma Hayek, and Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini have joined forces to launch a major women's empowerment campaign, Chime for Change. Chime for Change will "provoke, collect, and share powerful stories of girls and women globally," while using social media to funnel donations to a range of women's education and equality charities.
The campaign will focus on three areas: education, health, and justice for women and girls worldwide. If you're wondering why Gucci is involved, you should know that the company actually has a long history of engagement with girls' and women's issues, including a seven-year relationship with UNICEF in support of girls' education.
Without getting into too many details, there's been a barrage of recent media coverage highlighting the need for a campaign of this magnitude. How major are we talking? Well, they've partnered with NGOs like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and their Advisory Board consists of advocates and leaders like Arianna Huffington, Meryl Streep, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Yasmeen Hassan.
I'm incredibly excited to see what comes out of this initiative. The website nods to a major announcement happening in mid-March. Can't wait to find out the details.
For more information and to join Chime for Change, head on over to their website http://www.chimeforchange.org.
Today's post is actually more like a confession. You see, last year, I signed up to run the Run 10 Feed 10 challenge in Cincinnati in October. I was rocking and rolling on during my training for like 3 weeks, and then… BOOM. I fell off. Big time. So much so, that I *gulp* skipped the race.
I know, I know, I know… You see. I figured that if no one asked me about it, then it didn't matter. Especially since I'd already paid the registration fee, which helped provide 10 meals. But, deep down, I know better. So, I am getting my act together and keeping my promise to run 10 kilometers to fight hunger.
To make it count, I am doing the following:
So, there you have it. It's time to make good on a promise that I made to myself and to fight hunger in the United States.
What goals have you backtracked on? How are you planning to get back on track?
