Samsung Smart Camera WB350F
Nikon D750
Sony Alpha 6000
Canon PowerShot SX280 HSstars
A new processor leads to less noise at higher ISOs and faster performance, and built-in...
As the least expensive Canon camera to include optical image stabilization, the PowerShot A570 IS will no doubt receive a lot of attention this year. Its 7.1 megapixel CCD sensor and 2.5-inch LCD aren't remarkable among the current crop of compacts, but its 4X optical zoom lens provides a bit more reach than the usual 3X lenses that continue to dot the competitive landscape. While we would've liked to see Canon go wide, the lens covers a 35mm equivalent of 35mm to 140mm. While this isn't as versatile for group portraits, or the close quarter situations that most average snapshooters find themselves in, larger, longer zoom numbers still tend to sell better. If image stabilization doesn't float your boat and you never use manual exposure controls, you may want to step down to the A560, which is otherwise very similar to this model.
Like a lot of Canon's new cameras, the A570 IS includes a Digic III processor chip, which means it also has Canon's face detection. In our field tests, the system quickly and accurately identified faces. Once it identifies them, the system uses your subject's face to focus and meter the scene. Another feature that comes along with Digic III is in-camera red-eye removal. In this case, Canon lets you pluck the red pupils from your portrait victims in playback mode. Canon's a bit late to this game, since most of its competitors, such as Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, and Nikon, have included similar functions for a while now.
In addition to image stabilization, the biggest difference between the A570 IS and its little sister, the A560, is the A570 IS's manual exposure controls. If you're used to being able to shoot in aperture- or shutter-priority mode, or choose your own manual exposure settings, then you should pay extra attention to the A570 IS, since it's also the least expensive A-series camera with full exposure controls. Canon includes 12 scene modes (5 of which can be accessed directly from the mode dial), in addition to stitch assist and movie modes. Speaking of movie modes, this camera includes four. Two standard modes let you record at either 640x480 or 320x240 pixel resolutions with your choice of 30 frames per second (fps) or 15fps. Fast Frame Rate movie mode lets you record at 320x240 pixels and 60 fps, while Compact movie mode records at 160x120 pixels and 15 frames per second to keep files as small as possible so you can more easily e-mail the clips to friends.

Stock Risky Despite Dow's First-Ever Monthly Close Above 14,000
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- My theme that stocks are a risky asset class in 2013 remains in place, but the Dow Industrial Average ended February with its first-ever monthly close above 14,000. I still show overhead risky levels that can be tested before the market reverses.
We have had two ValuEngine valuation warnings so for this year, and two potential technical key reversals that could not be confirmed.
In recent weeks I have been suggesting that investors reduce allocations to the U.S. equities market by 50% or back to the allocation dollar amounts equal to their holdings as March 2009 began, four years ago.
The key reason for the huge four year rally has been Federal Reserve policy, with the latest quantitative easing programs, QE3 and QE4 projected to continue until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5%. I view Fed Chief Ben Bernanke as the pied piper leading investors down a path to the river of U.S. equities, which remains a risky asset class.On Thursday we learned that the preliminary reading for Q4 GDP came in at an anemic +0.1% up from the advanced reading of -0.1%. Either GDP reading reminds me of the grade point average of Delta House in the movie "Animal House." Investors and traders who continue to disagree with my call that stocks are a risky asset class should remember that I have not yet called a market top, and have not yet suggested any specific short position. What I have done so far is to give traders buy-and-trade parameters for specific markets and stocks, and investors the opinion to use strength to raise cash. Also remember that I "pounded the table" as a stock market bull four years ago. The 2013 stock market is being led by old economy stocks in the transportation and industrial sectors. Only the Dow industrials and Dow transports set new multi-year or all-time highs on Thursday at 14,149.15 and 6035.34 respectively. We have not yet had that elusive Dow Theory Buy Signal I have been tracking since 2013 began. This requires a close on the Dow Industrial Average above its all time closing high at 14,164.53 set on Oct. 9, 2007.

Paramore headlines the Chicago Theatre on May 9.
♦ 8 p.m. May 9
♦ Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State
♦ Tickets, $38.50-$49.50
♦ (312) 462-6300;
Updated: May 9, 2013 4:41PM
For a band that often seemed as they collectively thrived on a certain amount of turmoil and angst in both their personal and professional lives, critically acclaimed rockers Paramore now find themselves sitting at the top of the charts, looking damn content.
"Yes, we are just really happy," gushes Paramore frontwoman Hailey Williams, the fiery siren behind the Nashville-based trio. "Everything has changed for the better. I'm glad that we all get along and that collectively, we know for a fact and without any doubt that the three of us want to be here more than anything."
No longer reeling from the 2010 departure of founding members Josh and Zac Farro, Williams seems to now be thriving alongside the talents of bassist Jeremy Davis and guitarist Taylor York. The recent release of their self-titled album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking the group's first visit to the top spot. Throw in a wildly successful headlining tour and a brand new and the much brighter sounding single "Still Into You" into the mix, and Paramore finds themselves as a drastically changed band from the one that first got together in Nashville back in 2004.
"I guess it's the simple things that I am loving the most these days," remarks Williams from a Phoenix, Ariz., tour stop. "Jeremy is now getting to take charge of more of the production and visual elements of our show, and he has never been able to do that before. Taylor has taken the role of our own musical wizard. I'm handling more of our merchandise sales. It's really cool how everyone has moved into their own separate roles within the band and taking interest in things besides just the writing of the music. It's actually been quite a liberating journey for all of us."
Indeed, the journey of Paramore has never been more evident than within the impressive range of styles on display on their new release, effortlessly travelling from the ferocious and rocking energy of "Fast In My Car" to the touch of twang in "Hate to See Your Heart Break."
"With this album, we wanted to be honest with ourselves about what made us tick as artists," Williams says. "We didn't know it at the time, but in the past, we were being very close-minded about the music we thought we were capable of. But whenever we pushed ourselves, we realized we could do more. We didn't say no to any idea unless we tried it at least twice."
The recent evolution of Paramore is evident not only in their music and lyrics, but also in the venues they have handpicked on their current tour. "I know some fans are going to be bummed because there is no pit," laughs Williams of Paramore's upcoming May 9 tour stop at the Chicago Theatre on May 9. "We are normally a band that plays at venues with zero seats so the fans can run around where they want. This time, when we were deciding on venues, we were intrigued by these beautiful theatres that were grand and timeless, so the Chicago Theatre was a no-brainer."
Paramore is growing up.
"Our priorities have changed, most definitely," Williams says. "We want people to hear something in our music that they won't forget. We want to sound like a great and timeless band. We played a festival last night and I was yelling a lot. I came back mad at myself. I don't want to go back to our old ways of doing things. I want to be confident that I will have a voice the next day. We want to be that band that people come to see. We want to end up as a classic, great, live band."

You might have heard for NaNoWriMo… National Novel Writing Month? Started in 1999, the idea was to encourage writers to set themselves a goal to write a 50,000 word novel in a month, in the otherwise grey and uninteresting month of November.
Our own clever Shannon Okey decided that she had enough novels, but needed a new sweater, so NaKniSweMo was born – National Knit a Sweater Month. After all, most sweaters have at least 50,000 stitches – and goodness knows, knitting a stitch is easier and faster than choosing the right word…
Shannon's hosting a KAL on Ravelry, and has created a twitter tag for real-time updates, #NaKniSweMo.
Our own Jillian is in, and as of 6:05am this morning, she had already cast on. She's knitting Goodale (Rav link). Some brave knitters are turning this into an informal NaDesSweMo – National Design a Sweater Month. Both Shannon and Annie Modesitt are creating new designs.
And it's not just a US event – over 500 knitters from all over the world are signed up for the Ravelry group – knitters from Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands and Australia are participating. IntKniSweMo?
It's not too late to join the fun. I bet there's a sweater-to-be lurking in your stash – cast on tonight and you'll be well on track.
Stay tuned for updates on Jillian's progress throughout the month. And do check out Shannon's Ravelry group – she promises prizes!

Severe flooding and mudslides in southern Thailand have killed at least 21 people, and stranded thousands of tourists, authorities said on Wednesday.Deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban said the government had sent its only aircraft carrier to rescue around 1,000 people stuck on Koh Tao island.
"There are roughly one million people affected in many provinces. At first we thought the flood would last a day or two, but now it has already been one week," he told reporters.
Victims were either swept away by the rising waters, or buried in mudslides as the unseasonably wet weather deluged the homes and businesses of around a million people in what should be one of the hottest months of the year.
Residents were left without electricity in many areas as the waters rose, while road, rail and air links to the southern region remain closed.Tourists strandedThousands were stranded on the tourist islands of Koh Samui and Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand as ferries were cancelled in the rough weather.Bangkok Airways said there were 2,000 people, mostly tourists, stranded on Samui island either at the airport or in hotels after the airline cancelled flights for two days in a row.
Some 800 passengers are also waiting in Bangkok to travel to the island. Bad weather and a power blackout at Samui airport grounded over 50 flights on Monday and Tuesday.
The flooding, which began in southern Thailand a week ago, has killed seven people in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, three along the coast in Surat Thani and one in neighbouring Phatthalung.
In all, 80 districts of eight provinces have been declared disaster areas by Thailand's disaster prevention and mitigation department.Devastating flooding across Thailand late last year left more than 220 people dead, damaging the homes or livelihoods of an estimated 8.6 million people in 51 of the kingdom's 76 provinces.

Choosing a 75th Birthday Gift for Dad
Hopefully, you've found just what you were shopping for! If not, here are a few tips that might help you think of the perfect gift ideas for your Dad's 75th birthday.
What Are Your Dad's Favorite Activities?
I sincerely hope that your dad is in great health, and still able to enjoy the most important things in life. By the time a man reaches 75, though, he may have started to slow down. If he's still able to participate in sports like golfing, fishing, or running, he might enjoy a present that relates to his favorite activity.
He might appreciate something relating to a long-enjoyed hobby, such as cooking, gardening, or collecting. Or he may enjoy starting something new, such as researching his family history.
Consider An Experience Gift
There's a good chance that your father already has most of the possessions he wants or needs in life. If he's like my parents, he may be downsizing his belongings. He may prefer a gift that's an activity as opposed to a physical gift.
Does Dad have a bucket list, and if so, can you fulfill any of those dreams? Perhaps he'd enjoy a hot-air balloon ride, or he'd like to try scuba-diving. If you need ideas, you might want to check out this list of 10,000 bucket list ideas.
Give the Gift of Your Time
I bet that what Dad really wants is to spend time with his loved ones. Why not take the time to have a special outing with your Dad? You could do an activity together, such as golf or fish. Perhaps you could attend a baseball or football game together.
If you can afford to take a vacation together, that would be a gift that you will both remember and treasure for years to come.
He would also probably really enjoy going through family photos with you. Maybe you could work together to create a family album or history, or upload older treasured photographs to the computer so that they're preserved forever. You can find a useful tutorial here.
Food and Drink Gifts
Everyone knows that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Make Dad some of your famous baked goods or barbeque.
Gift baskets are always appreciated, and there are literally thousands to choose from. You can always choose a theme such as beer, wine, golfing, or pasta – you're sure to find one that your dad would appreciate.
An extravagant bottle of champagne, wine, or liquor is a thoughtful choice that's sure to be enjoyed. Try to splurge on something that your father normally wouldn't splash out on for himself.
Sentimental Gifts are Wonderful
You know you love your dad, and hopefully you tell him so whenever you get the chance. However, it's hard to find the perfect way to really express your thanks and appreciation for everything he's done for you.
A milestone birthday like this is the perfect time to share your feelings with your dad. Take advantage of this occasion to write your Dad a letter or poem letting him know how truly grateful you are for him.
Even if your family is not the sentimental type, your father will be glad that you shared these emotions with him, and he'll treasure your sentiments forever.

Water Justice (SOC3009 | crosslisted as EVST3009) is a University Honors seminar with a study tour to Mexico!
Meeting Time is TR 11:00 - 12:20, BOK: DC, SE
Read an article about this class released by the University of Cincinnati in December 2013.
Water is the source of all life on earth and in this respect it is an important 'commons'. However, climate change, privatization, and poor management are placing the world's water resources under stress. For the world's poor the right to access affordable clean water is becoming increasingly difficult. Similarly the health of water ecosystems is being compromised. This course will study the economic, cultural, social, environmental, and political importance of water. Students will be encouraged to critically assess different modes of water governance all the while studying the daily struggles encountered by people, communities, and animals the world over to access scarce water resources.
International Component:
Students will be traveling to the Maya Riviera to visit a variety of waterways and water related sites (cenotes, UNESCO water reserve, Maya ruins, underground rivers) to learn about the complex ways in which society, culture, environmental preservation, and economy interact. They will study different examples of environmental restoration and social projects aimed at conserving and/or increasing the public's awareness and appreciation of scarce water resources in the region. Students will use information gathered from these site visits to critically evaluate theories studied in class, as well as applying theoretical concepts they have been introduced to in the classroom to their fieldwork. This integration of environmental theory with the study of real life situations in the region will enhance the student's ability to critically evaluate how social, environmental, economic, cultural, and political forces shape the supply and quality of the world's water resources.

The opening of the Spanish photographer's exhibition marks the launch of the Safe Motherhood Initiative
WHAT: The opening of Motherhood, an exhibit of photos by Spanish photojournalist Bru Rovira, coincides with the launch of the Safe Motherhood Initiative, which urges the countries of the Americas to renew their commitment and efforts to meet Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 by reducing maternal mortality and achieving universal access to reproductive health by the year 2015.
The exhibit is a project of the Spanish Foundation "La Caixa", and consists of a series of photographs taken in 16 countries around the world by Spanish photojournalist Bru Rovira (Ortega y Gasset Award, 2004). The photographs reflect different situations where there is a common sentiment: motherhood. After Washington, 'Motherhood' will become a traveling exhibit, visiting the countries of the region that request it as part of the activities of the Safe Motherhood Initiative.

WHERE: Marcus Garvey Hall of Culture, Organization of American States (OAS), 17th Street NW and Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20006.
WHO: Participants will include Her Royal Highness Infanta Cristina of Spain, director of the International Cooperation Program of the La Caixa Foundation; Marcela Suazo, regional director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and secretary of the Regional Working Group on Maternal Mortality; and Dr. Mirta Roses, director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Also attending will be ministers of health of the countries of the Americas, representatives of the private sector, members of the diplomatic corps, and other dignitaries.
WHY: The Safe Motherhood Initiative calls on the countries of the Americas to redouble their efforts to meet the MDG-5 targets of reducing maternal mortality by 75 percent between 1990 and 2015 and achieving universal access to reproductive health by 2015. In Latin America and the Caribbean, maternal mortality has been reduced by 41 percent between 1990 and 2008, but faster progress is needed to achieve the 75 percent reduction target set by 189 countries around the world.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are trying to get home to Earth in Gravity, and Justin Timberlake is forming a risky partnership with Ben Affleck in Runner Runner. These are the movies to check out -- will you be grabbing your popcorn and seeing one of them this weekend?
'Gravity' (Oct. 4)
Warner Bros. PicturesShort Story: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a medical engineer working on the Hubble telescope. Outer space is a completely new world for her — and a scary one, at that. After she experiences a traumatic accident, she is knocked off course, left alone to survive in the sky. Also starring George Clooney as a veteran astronaut also impacted by the accident.
Click here for the official movie site!
What They're Saying: "What you can't know, until you're in the theater, is just how much you'll feel like you're up there in space, feeling its vastness, perhaps even feeling cold." -- ABC News
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 98%
Good for Kids? If your kids want to be astronauts when they grow up, Gravity might just change their minds. Common Sense Media warns for "some strong language and intense and terrifying moments."
Click here for the full Common Sense review.
'Runner Runner' (Oct. 4)
20th Century FoxShort Story: After getting cheated in a high-stakes game of online poker, Princeton student Richie Furst (Justin Timberlake) travels to Costa Rica to meet the man behind the operation: Ivan Block (Ben Affleck), the so-called "wizard of odds." Although Ivan tries to take Richie under his wing, the sudden appearance of the FBI throws a wrench in an already-dangerous working relationship.
Click here for the official movie site!
What They're Saying: "This is a lazy, trashy film that barely goes through the motions. It wallows endlessly by the swimming pool and then gives a perfunctory frown of pious disapproval." -- The Guardian
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 22%
Good for Kids? Combine a mature topic like online gambling with Common Sense Media's warning for "strong language, violence, corruption and sex," and this R-rated crime thriller becomes highly unsuitable for little ones.
Click here for the full Common Sense review.
'Rush' (Sept. 27)
Universal PicturesShort Story: This Ron Howard-directed biopic calls back to the days of Formula One racing, when English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian driver Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) had an intense rivalry. In 1976, the two men were willing to put everything -- and we mean everything -- on the line in order to win.
Click here for the official movie site!
What They're Saying: "Rush lives up to its box-office imperative with racing sequences that are state-of-the-art, immersive marvels of high-octane camerawork and whiplash editing." -- Boston Globe
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 88%
Good for Kids? In a film that's rated R for sexual content, nudity, language, some disturbing images and brief drug use, Common Sense Media says the Grand Prix champions of Rush "aren't anywhere near the squeaky-clean role models parents might be hoping for."
Click here for the full Common Sense review.
'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' (Sept. 27)
Columbia PicturesShort Story: Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader) is looking to forget the events of the original Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. But in this animated sequel, that proves difficult after Flint learns his FLDSMDFR — a device that turns water into food -- is still operational... and creating mutant food-animal hybrids. Uh-oh.
Click here for the official movie site!
What They're Saying: "The filmmakers see no imperative beyond the desire to entertain here. As weird as the world they've created can be, it's ripe to the point of rupture in the imagination department." -- Variety
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 60%
Good for Kids? Much like its predecessor, the animated Meatballs 2 is geared primarily toward little ones. Still, Common Sense Media warns, "the animated beasts could scare younger or more sensitive viewers."
Click here for the full Common Sense review.
'Don Jon' (Sept. 27)
Relativity MediaShort Story: A self-admitted lothario, churchgoing, Internet porn-watching Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is challenged by potential love Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) when she forces him to think beyond just sex and get serious about himself.
Click here for the official movie site!
What They're Saying: "Gordon-Levitt learned much from the staccato slickness of (500) Days of Summer, but fast doesn't mean shallow." -- Vulture
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 81%
Good for Kids? The plot of Don Jon revolves around an addiction to Internet porn. Enough said.

Kim Kardashian grew up in a world filled with money, mansions and play dates with Paris Hilton.
"Famous for being famous," Kim was known for being attorney Robert Kardashian's daughter and a socialite. That is, until her reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, premiered.
From a fixture on the club scene to reality star to entrepreneur, Kim has proven that she isn't just a pretty face. Here's how she got there.
Maureen Donaldson/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty ImagesSoon after mom Kris Jenner divorced dad Robert Kardashian (who later died of esophageal cancer in 2003), Kris remarried Olympian Bruce Jenner. Sporting denim duds, Kim smiled alongside her siblings Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Robert Kardashian, and her step-siblings Brandon Jenner, Burton Jenner, Brody Jenner and Cassandra Jenner, for a stylish Kardashian-Jenner family photo in 1991.
Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImageIs it possible that Kim never had an awkward phase? The 14-year-old is a teenage beauty during a family outing for the Cinderella video release party on Oct. 2, 1995.
J. Vespa/WireImageBy 2005, Kim was already married and divorced. She eloped with music producer Damon Thomas in 2000, keeping it a secret from her family. After four years of marriage, the couple went through a messy divorce. In this pic, Kim and Kourtney turned heads at E! Entertainment Television's Summer Splash Event in Hollywood on Aug. 1, 2005.
Jason Merritt/FilmMagicKim was hired to be a stylist for singer Brandy (which is how she met her ex-boyfriend, Ray J) and later Lindsay Lohan. This allowed Kim, Kourtney and Khloe to open their first store, Dash, in Calabasas, Calif. Kim flaunted her famous figure on the red carpet of the PlayStation 3 launch in L.A. on Nov. 6, 2006.
Jeff Vespa/WireImageThe year 2007 was filled with both happiness and embarrassment for the starlet. After rumors of a sex tape involving Kim and Ray J surfaced, the video eventually made its way to the Internet. The tape, in some ways, was a blessing in disguise for Kim: She landed an E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, documenting the life of her and her family. (Kim is pictured at the series premiere of the reality show in West Hollywood on Oct. 9, 2007.) Later in the year, Kim bared it all for Playboy.
Courtesy of Kim Kardashian/InstagramKim took on a new role in 2008 -- dancer! The reality star teamed up with pro Mark Ballas on Dancing with the Stars. Unfortunately, Kim didn't shake her famous booty for long, because she was eliminated after only a few dances.
Johnny Nunez/WireImageThe Kardashian sisters went through major life changes in 2009. After a whirlwind courtship, Khloe married NBA player Lamar Odom. Kourtney and boyfriend Scott Disick welcomed their first child, Mason. And Kim kept herself as busy as ever with her new fragrance. Despite the whirlwind year, the sisters made time for each other at a pre-Grammy party in Westwood, Calif. on Feb 9, 2009.
Denise Truscello/WireImageDating on and off since 2007, Kim and NFL player Reggie Bush (pictured here at the Queen of Hearts Ball in Las Vegas on Feb. 13, 2010) called it quits for good. After their split, Kim was linked to NFL player Miles Austin and Halle Berry's ex, Gabriel Aubry.
Courtesy of People MagazineFairy tale wedding! After dating for six months, basketball player Kris Humphries proposed to Kim with a 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond engagement ring. After accepting his proposal, the couple tied the knot on Aug. 20, 2011 in front of 440 guests. After only 72 days of marriage, Kim divorced Kris, citing "irreconcilable differences."
Steve Granitz/WireImageSingle and ready to mingle! Kim showed a touch of class at a pre-Grammys party in Beverly Hills on Feb. 11, 2012. In April of that year, Kim was linked to rapper and longtime friend Kanye West.
Kevin Mazur/WireImage
Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic
New year, new beginnings! Kim ended 2012 by confirming that she and West were expecting a child. "It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby," she wrote on her blog. "We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us." On June 15, Kim welcomed North West into the world. Just four months after the birth of their daughter, Kim and Kanye steamed up Paris fashion week in chic black ensembles on Sept 29.

Well, someone finally is getting serious. Ron Paul, who wants to be president, has unveiled a plan to cut $1 trillion from the federal budget, and by the way, shrink the president's salary to $40,000.
Paul wants to eliminate the departments of Education, Commerce, Energy, Interior and Housing and Urban Development.
What? Keep the EPA?
Well, as far as he goes, he's OK with us. Of course, the chances of him accomplishing any of this is about equal to his chance of ever drawing the presidential salary, whatever its size. Pity. We fully subscribe to the idea that the federal government has no constitutional authority to do any of this stuff, something the founders of this nation would agree with wholeheartedly. Of course they are dead. And Paul's chances probably are too in a nation that's come to regard the federal government as Nanny, supermarket and provider of all wants and needs.
But it is nice to hear someone seriously suggest such stuff.

iRobot introduces Looj: the world's first gutter cleaning robot
iRobot continues to market its Roomba line, but the truth is that robotic vacuum cleaners have not become a mainstay in the average American home. With that in mind, iRobot is introducing two new household robots today. The first is the Looj, a gutter-cleaning robot. We think that the company must have reasoned: a. men are more likely to buy robots than women, b. men are more likely to clean their house's gutters than are women, therefore c. this gutter-cleaning bot will be huge.
The Looj can clean a 60-foot section of gutter in ten minutes, and is controlled by a remote control (though whenever something's governed by a remote control, we doubt whether it's a robot: isn't it just like a sophisticated remote controlled electric car toy?) We're not sure exactly how it will turn corners, but we'll let you know as soon as the company's keynote is over. The Looj will cost $99.
UPDATE: The Looj does not turn corners. Instead you have to move your ladder around the house and place it into each individual gutter by hand. iRobot CEO Colin Angle called it "a mini tank," explaining that the Looj uses some technology from the company's military research branch. It's available starting today from iRobot's website.

The Tiger got his fracture rechecked yesterday in Columbus, and it was a good experience all around. They x-rayed him immediately, without any need for me to harass them into doing it. Then we finally met the doctor in charge, who'd been only a distant overseer in the hospital. He was sporting a walrus mustache and working on Basset hound jowls. He was kind and respectful. He managed not to scare my son. Best of all, he pronounced the Tiger's humerus in good alignment.
"So," I said, "are we out of the woods as far as surgery?"
"No. We like to follow breaks like this closely at first. You'll need to come back again next Wednesday. Then, if all goes well, the cast can come off two weeks later."
"So when will you know for sure about surgery?"
"By next week, the bone should sticky. There's not much danger it could slip out of place after that."
"If you had to give me odds of avoiding surgery, from this week to next week, what would you say? Just as a guess?"
"Oh, about 80%."
I'm still jittery about that other 20%, but overall I think my sweet little stinker is going to be okay.
The really good news is that we learned that the break isn't in a growth plate after all. That's a huge relief. My niece's fracture was complicated by its running through a growth plate, and my sister is plagued by a quiet simmering worry about proper growth in the years ahead. As an inveterate worrier myself (it runs in the family), I'll rejoin her worry party now, knowing that the Tiger shouldn't have any long-term issues beyond a very slight restriction in the elbow's range of motion.
We also got rid of the ace bandage around his cast (seen above), which was looking increasingly grungy. It was replaced by another layer of the blue casting material, which means we can all sign it now. Yay!
Note that both stuffed tigers are also suffering from injuries. Daddy Tiger broke his foot. You can't see Mama Tiger's broken tail, but it's being held up by the sling around her neck. Mama Tiger got her "cast" off yesterday and is feeling great, after some initial stiffness.
My apologies to anyone who was watching the calendar and realized I should have reported in yesterday already. It is true that I usually like to write a post every day. If I miss a couple of days, it means something is up, and you would be right to suppose I'm not gallivanting on a tropical beach. Most often it means that I'm overworked and underslept. (Stacks of student papers are calling to me this very moment!) Occasionally it means I have the blues. And there's always the chance that something really awful has happened. Last night, though, I was just I was too depleted to write. I had nothing left after the trip to Columbus: rushing on the road, reassuring the Tiger, bathing in the relief. Funny how exhausting even good news can be.

Bleeding disorders
Bleeding disorders are a group of conditions in which there is a problem with the body's blood clotting process. These disorders can lead to heavy and prolonged bleeding after an injury. Bleeding can also begin on its own.
See also:
- Acquired platelet function defects
- Congenital platelet function defects
- Congenital antithrombin III deficiency
- Congenital protein C or S deficiency
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia
- Factor II deficiency
- Factor V deficiency
- Factor VII deficiency
- Factor X deficiency
- Factor XII deficiency
- Hemophilia A
- Hemophilia B
- Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Von Willebrand's disease (type I and type II)
Alternative Names
Normal blood clotting involves as many as 20 different plasma proteins, which are known as blood clotting or coagulation factors. These factors act together with other chemicals to form a substance called fibrin that stops bleeding.
Problems can occur when certain coagulation factors are low or missing. Bleeding problems can range from mild to severe.
Some bleeding disorders are present at birth and are passed through families (inherited). Others develop from:
- Illnesses such as vitamin K deficiency or severe liver disease
- Treatments such as the use of drugs to stop blood clots (anticoagulants) or the long-term use of antibiotics
Bleeding disorders can also result from having poorly working or too few of the blood cells that promote blood clotting (platelets). These disorders can also be either inherited or picked up (acquired). The side effects of certain drugs often lead to the acquired forms.
- Abnormal menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding into joints
- Excessive bruising
- Heavy bleeding
- Nosebleeds
Which problems occur depends on the specific bleeding disorder.
Exams and Tests
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Bleeding time
- Partial thromboplastin time (PTT)
- Platelet aggregation test
- Prothrombin time (PT)
Treatment depends on the type of disorder. It may include:
- Factor replacement
- Fresh frozen plasma transfusion
- Platelet transfusion
- Other therapies
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome also depends on the disorder. Most primary bleeding disorders can be managed. Those due to diseases, such as DIC, depend on how well the disease is treated.
Possible Complications
- Bleeding in the brain
- Severe bleeding (usually from the gastrointestinal tract or injuries)
Other complications can occur, depending on the disorder.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you notice any unusual or severe bleeding.
Prevention depends on the specific disorder.

Adorei a ideia!!!Wonderful!!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1:40 PM
Awesome idea! Super cute and I plan to use some of my old silver processed black and white negatives for an extra shimmery finish! Thanks for the inspiration!!ReplyDelete
To your point that a real candle might burn the edges - film is HIGHLY flammable due to it's composition and the processing it goes through. Just a heads up to anyone considering it. Smart choice using a fake candle!
Just so you know. This is like the world's worst idea ever. Film is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. I know, you told people to use a fake candle. Right, I get it. You even gave a disclaimer stating, "I think a real candle might burn the edges but I don't want to find out. Unless you do it and it ends up looking cool :)."ReplyDelete
Um, how about your whole house burns down? Because someone even dimmer than you is going to use a real candle and burn down the whole house.
Google search it yourself and then take this stuff down before some daft pinterester burns her whole entire house down.
Ty, I did not realize you are 13. I apologize for my harsh words. In 13 years you (and a lot of other people) probably haven't learned that film is highly flammable. Most likely because you have never really used it. So, I really apologize for my comment. You are obviously a brilliant young man to have your own blog with crafts. I mean, I'm not even that crafty and well over old enough to be your mom. That said, this could be a very dangerous craft idea. If you leave it up, please put a huge disclaimer on it. It is a very dangerous idea if people use real candles. That said, keep the fantastic ideas coming, maybe google them for flammability or toxicity first. :) Really, you must be brilliant to have a site like this at your age. I'm kind of in awe.ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't know whether to be offended or flattered... maybe a little of both. I see how it could be considered a bad idea here but you might notice I have changed my words in the post so that those "daft Pinteresters" can keep their crafty abodes flame free :). Its all in fun and I had a good laugh at this one. Well I guess all in fun until a housewife burns their house down. Anyways, its resolved now.Delete
I just want to say, you are awesome. I've browsed your blog and am impressed. You are 13 and you have a very creative craft blog. That is a bit of greatness there. I responded pretty harshly to this particular idea (which is a plenty creative idea to boot). It really is a bad idea to couple flames with film and I am guessing you get that now. So, I will say: Go on being creative. I'm looking forward to your first book and tv show. But please, no highly flammable or toxic materials. :)
I like flammable materials. I coupled flames with film. Thanks for posting your project, Ty! I linked to it here: http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2013/02/oscar-party-decorating.htmlReplyDelete
Sweet Ty! What a great idea.ReplyDelete
Love the idea! We featured it on our blog today. :) Best of luck with your blog! We are big fans! :) http://tinyurl.com/mgl9puh #Oscars #PartyReplyDelete

My beautiful V
- In March of this year, my mother was dx kidney cancer metastasis lungs( Stage IV). Everyday I shake my head several times because I can not believe a woman who never smoked, drinked, lived well, and just started her life @ 59 is living with this demon in her. Its a struggle to call her and hear how much pain she has been in each day, but I do because its a must. My heart aches all the time just thinking about it. Family such as older sister, aunts, cousins, her father, etc. do not go visit her, and its heart wrenching, and live so close to her. I live on the otherside of the country, but I have been there this past summer with my son, and leaving two weeks from now. We are seeking an 2nd opinion soon, but please keep us in prayer. He does produce miracles. I-J-N, Amen.

Lung Cancer Symptoms
- My first symptom was a persistent cough and fatique for a few weeks. I began to get feverish and have the chills along with the cough and fatigue. Then to the left of my right shoulder blade I started have pain which turned to sharp stabing pain which worsened if massaged. Within the next hours I started to have the sharp pain in the right side of my chest also. If felt like I was being stabbed from chest to back at this point. I could hardly walk up the two flights of stairs to tuck my children into bed. I was diagnosed with pneumonia at the emergency room that evening but was also told that there was a mass blocking the entry way to my right lung. A few days later I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer.

Be Your Own Advocate
- 3 yrs ago,I had a pulled muscle sensation on the right side of my neck when taking a deep breath. Smoked for 30 yrs. but had quit18 yrs ago. Had x-ray, negative. Feeling persisted. Had thyroid ultrasound, negative. Feeling persisted.Told PCP I need to get to bottom of this because it shouldn't persist. PCP said that rotator cuff injuries don't heal & it's probably something like that. I had him set up an appointment with a thoracic surgeon & had a CT scan. Went to surgeon's office ALONE to discuss results & was told that I had lung cancer. It was staged 3A. This was Jan.2011 My (now ex) PCP said that he didn't order a CT scan because "the U.S. Task Force" doesn't recommend it. i.e. the insurance companies. (It is NOW recommended for at risk patients) It didn't appear on the x-ray because it was very high up in my upper right lobe. Had chemo, surgery at Dana Farber & then radiation. Moral of story: follow your instincts!

The Wife
- My husband had no symptoms except 2 1/2 wks of pneumonia in Jan. 2012, with back pain. When the "P" was over and still had back pain docs did a chest x-ray, MRI, and blood tests. First they told us multiple myloma but later determined it was non-small cell lung cancer carcinoma and it had matastisized to his thoratic spine and his liver. In March he lost his voice (possible pressure on a nerve or tumor touching his vocal chords)and in April, 12 days in the hospital with pneumonitis. Because of a mutated gene he can take "Tarceva" a targeted cancer treatment pill, which he takes every morn on an empty stomach and he had 13 Radiation treatments. He is weak, shaky, on 8 L of oxygen and needs assistance with walking with a walker, going to the RR and even getting dressed. He needs a wheelchair when visiting a doc. It's so hard seeing a farmer doing it all in Jan. to being so dependent on everyone in a matter of months. We don't know how much time we have but are making the best of it

bronchitis and shortness of breath
- 3 weeks ago sunday i went to the ER for bronchitis/shortness of breath worsening over several days. they did a chest x-ray and said i had a large mass on my right lung that was significantly larger than it was on an x-ray from 2008 and i should see my doctor the very next day. since then i have had CTscans, CT-guided needle biopsy, brain scan and PET scan - have recieved a preliminary diagnosis of a fist-sized tumor of non-small cell lung cancer in my chest. today they'll tell me if/where it has traveled. based on all that, what they can offer me in the way of treatment and prognosis. can't begin to explain to you how i felt/feel when i learned at the ER there was a chance 4 years ago to catch/stop this but someone dropped the ball and didn't bother to tell the patient and no one else seemed to care. The lesson here: ALWAYS follow-up on your own medical tests - don't assume they'll get in touch if a problem is indicated. assuming has sure made an ass out of me, hasn't it??!

See a Doctor Regularly
- After reading everyone's story I wanted to cry. My dad could do anything. He was building a new house - by himself - and had just retired from Ford two years previous. He began taking naps during the day but as he was 67, my brothers and sisters and I shrugged it off to advancing age. One day, after carrying a bag of dry cement, he went into his house because he was so fatigued and he felt his heart racing. My youngest sister lives only 1/2 mile away and brought him to the hospital that I work at. When I met them downstairs in the ER I was told he was in afib. I thought, no problem. I work in the cardiac field so I knew there were many options available. However, an xray showed pleural effusion and a pet scan showed a mass in the right lung. After being in the hospital for 3 days they told him he had stage 4 lung cancer. What puzzles me is that besides fatigue he stated he had no other symptoms and after only 17 days in the hospital he died on a ventilator. God Bless all of you.

Shoulder Pain
- On Sunday October 11, 2011, I surpassed 2,000 miles on my bike for the year. The following day, I did the Bronx Cheer and felt a terrible pain in my shoulder. My doctor diagnosed it as rotater cuff tendinitis and told me to keep moving it. After a week, my wife made me get a second opinion. The orthopedic thought the collar bone was broken and sent me to get a CT Scan to be sure. He called back 2 hours later to say that I had a spot on my lung and enlarged lymph nodes. I then had a PET Scan. Afterwards, the dr said it didn't look too bad and we would just wait for 4-6 weeks and do another scan. A friend at work took the scans to a radiologist at a cancer hospital who got me into to an orthopedic oncologist. He scheduled a biopsy for Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend. Took a walnut sized tumor out of my collarbone. Will have 2nd chemo tomorrow. Stage IV lung cancer. Editors note: Thank you for sharing your story so others can be alert to symptoms that aren't obvious as signs of lung cancer. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family as I send positive energy your way. Shoulder pain - while more likely to be a symptom of a another condition, can be a symptoms of lung cancer.

I thought i had a sinus infection.......
- I thought I had what was a sinus infection headache. Nothing too bad that a simple ibuprophen couldn't take care of. After 11 weeks of this nuisance headache, I decided to go to the dr. for a prescription. Instead, she sent me for a CT scan because my headaches sometimes woke me up in the middle of the night. The next morning, she called me to tell me the results of my CT scan. She said that they found multiple lesions in my brain that had come from another source. She then sent me to the hospital for further testing. They found a lung cancer, adenocarcinoma was my diagnosis. Since that time, I have undergone 10 radiation treatments and so far, 1 chemo treatment of 4 scheduled. It's amazing that I have all this BAD stuff going on inside my body and I feel really good. If it hadn't been for the headache, I never would have gone to the dr. I just wonder how all this can be going on inside a persons body and them not have a clue. I'm thankful that I went to the dr when I did.

Insensitive Drs
- I'd like to let all drs know thats its not alright to tell your husband that he's got lung cancer at visiting time when he was alone after i'd arranged to meet the dr previously....all the visitors heard this news and heard my husband crying.the cancer had left my husband mute so he couldnt even ask questions the awful awful dr i hate him. Editors note: I am so sorry and sad to hear this happened to you. It is a good reminder to others to talk with your doctor and the hospital staff as a family and arrrange to hear any news when you are not alone. Unfortunately, it sounds like you took the needed steps and were an advocate for your husband, and he still was left alone to receive the news. I am glad you are speaking out here. The only way doctors will change is to see the effect that insensitivity and rushing has upon people living with the disease.

Repeated Cough, Breathlessness and fever
- My dad was diagnosed with COPD 5 years back. He did have the cough earlier to that and had been a smoker for 40 years 2 packs a day which he quit 5 years ago. Then a couple of months ago he had recurring bouts of cough and fever and breathlessness and initially the X rays were taken and diagnosis was possible Pneumonia. Next month when the fever returned, X Ray was taken and CT scan suggested that indicated possible cancer in the lung. Followed up with Broncoscopy biopsy and confirmed with PET scan. If you have smoked, have a doctor monitor your X Rays atleast each year. He started on Tarceva 150mg due to reservations with Chemo due to ill health and this turned out to be too much due to side effects - rashes, severe stomach ache , dry mouth and total loss of appetite. It has made my dad almost immobile, weak and fatigued and now on constant oxygen. Looking at reducing the dosage of Tarceva and other options.

"Can you just picture what would have happened if al Qaeda attacked
America with deadly weapons acquired from Baghdad, and had President
Bush rejected intelligence reports about WMDs?" TV/Radio personality
Bill O'Reilly spun in a July
22 column. "My God! President Bush would have gone down in history
as the biggest incompetent of all time."
O'Reilly wrote that he came to this conclusion because "At this
point, we have four independent sources that say there was no lying
by President Bush and British Prime Minister Blair regarding weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq." This last sentence is at least true
as far as it goes; the 9/11 Commission report and the Senator Select
Intelligence Committee (and foreign sources) reported that intelligence
agencies had given the Bush administration incorrect information
that the Hussein regime in Iraq maintained huge chemical and biological
weapons stockpiles (WMD) before the war.
The O'Reilly all spin zone
O'Reilly's problem is that there were no al Qaeda ties with Hussein
and that his nightmare scenario was pure spin. The Senate Select
Intelligence Committee report concluded the CIA had repeatedly informed
the administration that Hussein "generally viewed Islamic extremism,
including the school of Islam known as Wahhabism, as a threat to
his regime, noting that he had executed extremists from both the
Sunni and Shi'a sects to disrupt their organizations. The CIA provided
two specific HUMINT [Human Intelligence] reports that support this
assessment, both of which indicated that Saddam Hussein's regime
arrested and in some cases executed Wahhabists and other Islamic
extremists that opposed him. The CIA also provided a HUMINT report
… that indicated the regime sought to prevent Iraqi youth from joining
al Qaeda."
In addition, the National Intelligence Estimate of October 2002
concluded that Iraq wouldn't cooperate with al Qaeda because they
feared "Iraqi involvement would provide Washington a stronger case
for making war."
This means the Bush administration listened to erroneous intelligence
on WMD, but ignored accurate intelligence that there was no relationship
between al Qaeda and Hussein's Iraq.
Worse, evidence from the Senate committee report revealed that
the Bush administration willingly put the U.S. in greater danger
by attacking Iraq. Intelligence Committee member Senator Ron Wyden
(D-Ore.) summed up the terrorist threat from Iraq: "The Intelligence
Community did not believe that Saddam Hussein was likely to use
his own forces or an outside group like al Qaeda to attack the United
States — with one important caveat. The Intelligence Community believed
that an impending U.S.-led attack to remove Hussein from power would
increase the likelihood of a terror attack." In other words, the
U.S. invasion put American citizens at risk for a terror attack,
when there was no threat of an attack from Iraq before the invasion.
O'Reilly may claim to have a "no spin zone," but his column was
nothing but pure spin that misled the public. Millions of Americans
have already heard the same foolish arguments made on Sean Hannity,
Rush Limbaugh and any number of other radio talk shows. "Oh, but
there were ties," the talk show hosts tell us. "Gee, such and such
an Iraqi intelligence officer met with a member of al Qaeda in 1998.
Bush was right, don't you know." The word "ties" is used with such
weak evidence by talk show hosts these days that the wildest fantasies
of the left about Joe McCarthy's communist accusations now look
like iron-clad cases by comparison.
Since even Secretary of State Colin Powell has admitted, in a January
8, 2004 press conference, that "I have not seen smoking-gun, concrete
evidence about the connection," O'Reilly, Limbaugh and Hannity are
increasingly looking like the pet shop owner in Monty Python's pet
shop skit. The "al Qaeda ties" parrot, they tell us, isn't dead
— it's just sleeping. Forget the fact that our intelligence agencies
reported categorically that Iraq and al Qaeda were enemies (the
Brits' intelligence agency said the same), and that Hussein and
bin Laden hated each other. Forget the fact that the recently released
Senate intelligence report on the war said that Hussein had ordered
(and carried out) the execution of al Qaeda members in the past.
All of these reported contacts together don't amount to anything
more than the fact that Iraqi intelligence had a real intelligence
agency that — shocker of all shockers — kept tabs on enemies of
the state. (Would that we had such an intelligence agency.) "Oh,
but they did have u2018ties.'" Yeah, right.
In fact, none of the assertions of al Qaeda contacts by the CIA
amounted to anything even close to the ties other Middle Eastern
nations had with al Qaeda, including nuclear power Pakistan.
The lack of any meaningful ties to al Qaeda is the elephant under
the table no one on the Establishment right is talking about. Certainly,
you won't find it on talk radio today, or on war-mongering neo-con
"conservative" magazines like National Review. I've heard
that National Review founder William F. Buckley now regrets
he backed the recent Iraq war. "Saddam Hussein wasn't the kind of
extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration
one year ago," Buckley told the New York Times. "If I knew
then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in,
I would have opposed the war."
I confess that I was never a partisan of Bill Buckley. The Buckley
I've read since the mid-1980s had all of the condescending sarcasm
and vanity of Erasmus with none of the wit or clarity. If his columns
were readable at one time, they long since ceased to be so. The
last time I was able to stomach reading one of his columns a few
years ago, Buckley praised himself no fewer than five times in the
space of 500 words. I blurted out to a colleague that I had never
read such a self-absorbed column, and wondered if he had typed it
out one-handed after downing a double dose of Viagra. Nevertheless,
Buckley's mea culpa puts him a step above the talk show robots who
spew out undigested Republican Party talking points.
But there are sources of truth on the Internet for those who seek
it. LewRockwell.com is one of those sources of truth.
I wrote
on this website before the war that Hussein and bin Laden "hate
each other because one is a radical Islamic militant and the other
is an atheist" and the two "are traditional and long-standing enemies."
These statements were not based upon any crystal ball I possessed,
or any access to secret government intelligence, but upon publicly
leaked information available to everyone before the war. I also
had the benefit of the fact that the Bush administration didn't
leak any credible intelligence about al Qaeda ties (though they
did leak some "ties" that were quickly proven to be fraudulent information),
even though it would have strongly buttressed their public case
for the war.
The truth is now out: We were lied into war, and the vain repetition
of spinmeisters to the contrary won't change this fact. Now that
you know this, what are you going to do about it?

In a replay of the Republican kerfuffle after President Obama's State of the Nation address last year, there will be dueling GOP responses tonight to Mayor Mark Mallory's State of the City address.
The Hamilton County Republican Party sent a press release this afternoon announcing that Amy Murray, an ex-Cincinnati City Council member, would provide the GOP's formal response to Mallory's speech.
A Democrat, Mallory will give his seventh State of the City address at 6:30 p.m. It will be presented in the Jarson-Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, located at 650 Walnut St., downtown.
After the press release about Murray's response arrived at 2:55 p.m., however, current City Councilman Charlie Winburn sent a notice from his council office at 3:39 p.m. In the notice, Winburn announced he "will be available to give the Republican response" immediately after the mayor's speech.
Winburn's release helpfully noted that he is "the only Republican on Cincinnati City Council," in case anyone wasn't sure.
The concurrent responses are similar to what occurred after Obama's speech in January 2011. At that time, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was selected to give the GOP's official response to the address. But U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), then a rising star in the Tea Party movement, decided to give her own response.
At the time, House Speaker John Boehner (R-West Chester) called the move "a little unusual."
Bachmann's performance was widely lambasted, as she didn't look directly at the camera but off to the side, and appeared disconnected and halting during her remarks. Bachmann later sought the GOP's presidential nomination but dropped out of the race early after several disappointing primary finishes.
Murray is a former Procter & Gamble employee who now owns a consulting firm that tries to attract Japanese companies to Cincinnati. The party's release stated she would give her response immediately following Mallory's address in the Fifth Third Bank Theater's lobby at the Aronoff Center.
A Hyde Park resident, Murray ran unsuccessfully for Cincinnati City Council in 2009, finishing in 12th place out of 19 candidates. She then was appointed by party leaders in January 2011 to fill the remainder of Councilman Chris Monzel's term, but lost election in her own right the following November. In that election, Murray again finished 12th, this time out of 22 candidates.
In a turnabout from a campaign pledge, Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul is getting help raising campaign money by GOP senators who voted for the 2008 Wall Street bailout.
According to an Associated Press report, Paul is holding a fundraiser Thursday night in Washington, D.C. Although Paul earlier had said he wouldn't seek money from any politician who voted for the $700 billion bailout, nine of the 12 senators listed on the event's host committee were bailout supporters.
CREDO Action Campaign Manager Josh Nelson told CityBeat that the group emailed the petition with 4,021 signatures to the Department of Labor Wednesday morning.
The petition reads: "Requiring employees to attend a Mitt Romney political rally without pay is totally unacceptable. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether Murray Energy violated any federal laws on August 14th, and to hold it fully accountable if it did."
Romney appeared at the event to attack what he called President Barack Obama's "war on coal." He was flanked on stage by hundreds of miners with soot-stained faces.
Dozens of those miners told WWVA-AM West Virginia talk show host David Blomquist that they were pulled from the mine before their shift was over and not paid for the full day of work. The miners, who Blomquist did not identify, said they were told that attendance at the rally was mandatory.
Murray Energy Chief Financial Officer Rob Moore told Blomquist on his radio show that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend."
He said that people who did not show up to the event, which organizers say drew 1,500 miners and family members, were not penalized for their absence.
"Forcing Ohio workers to participate in a political rally is unacceptable, so we're joining our friends at SEIU in calling on the U.S. Department of Labor to conduct an investigation to determine whether or not any federal laws were broken," Nelson wrote in an email to CREDO Action's Ohio activists on Sept. 1.
A spokeswoman for the Labor Department was not immediately able to confirm whether the department had received the petition or planned to launch an investigation.
This post will be updated with comment from the Labor Department when it becomes available.
Despite its founder's insistence Thursday that reaction had been mostly favorable, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity abruptly reversed course today and is restoring funding for Planned Parenthood.
The Los Angeles Times reports Nancy G. Brinker, Komen's founder and CEO, said that the breast cancer foundation's decision to halt funding to providers who were under investigation was not done for political reasons and was not meant to penalize Planned Parenthood specifically.
Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, attributes the delay to "a number of scheduling issues."
"There's so many moving pieces," she says. "There are issues with utility and we have to order the cars. We have to get a contractor on-board for the work. So we still have a couple of things that are taking longer than we thought."
The delay, which was announced Sept. 10, is
the latest in a history of plan and schedule changes for the Cincinnati
streetcar, which saw $52 million pulled by Gov. John Kasich last year and forced
the city to abandon its Uptown connector lines. Kasich, who has been against other rail projects in the state, claimed the move was necessary to balance the 2012-2013 budget.
Today, a feud between the city and Duke Energy is causing more trouble. The city and utility company disagree over who should pay for moving utility lines to accommodate the streetcar. On Aug. 29, the city said it was considering a lawsuit to resolve the issue. Olberding says the conflict played a role in the delay.
"We need to resolve that quickly because, obviously, the longer we can't get utility work done, it'll cause delays and cost overruns," she says. "So we want to get that done as soon as possible."
Before the current spat, the city and Duke could not agree on whether manhole covers and utility lines should be eight feet from streetcar tracks or three to four feet. The city claimed the smaller number was fine, but Duke disagreed, citing fears for its workers. In a previous look at the issue, CityBeat found the city's standard was supported by experiences in other cities ("The Great Eight Debate," issue of March 6). The city eventually won out, and manholes will only be required to be three to four feet from streetcar tracks.
The streetcar has faced consistent opposition from other Republicans besides Kasich. U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot of Cincinnati successfully amended the 2013 transportation bill to ban federal funding from going to the streetcar and other light rail projects. Councilman Charlie Winburn, the lone Republican on Cincinnati City Council, said the city should stop its threat of lawsuit against Duke Energy.
After years of dithering and months of debate, Cincinnati City Council narrowly approved a plan Wednesday to make changes to the cash-strapped pension plan for municipal workers. But a local GOP leader is confused about who voted for what.
The big news breaking the Internets is that Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation's leading breast cancer charity, is pulling its grants from Planned Parenthood affiliates. The charity gave about $680,000 last year and $580,000 in 2010, which is mostly used to provide free breast exams for low-income women.
A tri-partisan mix of Cincinnati City Council members are once again reaching across party lines to hold a joint fundraiser — and bragging quite a bit while doing it.
Democrat Jeff Berding, Republican Leslie Ghiz and Charterite Chris Bortz are holding a campaign fundraiser together on Oct. 7. The trio also held a joint fundraiser in 2007 and often receives campaigning advice from Jeff Cramerding, executive director of the Charter Committee, Cincinnati's de facto third political party.

Awkward Girl CathyMay15 Sings Outhere Brothers' 'Boom Boom Boom' to Her Webcam
- topic:
- Videos
- Music
- MemeTracker
We're just about the last site to post this amazing popular video of an awkward teen girl singing the Outhere Brothers' "Boom Boom Boom" (the one that goes, "Lemme hear ya say wayoh!") to her webcam. It just took us that long to process the magic.
I'm sure CathyMay15 wasn't expecting 4chan to find her homemade singing videos and spread them around the internet, but my god, she made a lot of them! She had 28 videos before she took her account down, and several of them have been saved and reuploaded for the internet's entertainment.
It's rough going from an unknown 18-year-old girl in Norway to an instant internet superstar, but I hope CathyMay15 decides to embrace her fame the way young internet winners like Keenan Cahill have. Heck, some people are already calling her the next Boxxy! Come back to the internet, Cathy! We won't bite!
