Because I just couldn't wait for spring to get here, I brought some inside to get an early start. This may end up being a mistake, I don't know. I turned our unused "Garden Tub" into a mini greenhouse and now have some that are about to unfurl! I also have American Halo, Dream Queen, Smash Hit and Regal Supreme in the tub, but they came in later and as far along, yet. |

What a fun thing to do with all that miserable cold weather you folks are having back East. Growers do that all the time to have the plants in full foliage for plant shows, etc. I am in a different zone and 90% of my hostas are coming up, with about a dozen already leafed out. Enjoy your jump on Spring! -Babka |

That's it! I'm doing the same...I was thinking about doing it, now I am motivated! The damn snow is falling, YET AGAIN, temperatures are plummeting, AGAIN... I've had it....thanks, Smith....if you're brave, then so am I! Excuse me, I am off to the garage to bring in some sweet little babies... :-) Jo |

If I can offer one piece of advice from my own experience? Do not let them stay too wet after bringing them in. I almost completely lost the one that started this adventure, my Earth Angel sport, I did not re-pot it in fresh, dry mix and it rotted most of the roots off. I also almost lost my Regal Supreme the same way. They are both on the mend now and hopefully the Earth Angel sport makes it, it has a few small roots that are white and healthy. I now wait until they completely thaw, about 24 hours, then I put them in a 5:1:1 mix of bark fines, peat and perlite. I don't know if it because of the rapid transition from frozen to 70 degrees or what, but it doesn't take long to bring on the rot. Now I am thinking about putting up a small 1/2' pvc cold frame, after this next thaw and putting in some 5 quart jugs of used motor oil I have in the garage, I am either going to paint them black or wrap them in landscaping material so they absorb heat during the day and release it into the cold frame at night. Our ten day forecast only calls for one day to have lows much below freezing. The rest of the time it is supposed to be in the upper 40's to lower 50's for the highs. It will have to wait until the next weekend, though, Hosta College is this weekend. Oh, Hosta Fever, how I have missed you! |

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I brought them in and in my excitement, used my hand to gently splash a few drops just on top, then my brain kicked in and I stopped. I came back to post a surprise and found your remarks..I remember how sopping wet everything was last fall, so much rain, then everything froze! They sure don't need additional moisture at this time. I will wait till tomorrow and inspect root system. If they are sopping wet after thawing, I will repot in fresh medium as you suggested. For now I will try to curb my enthusiasm so I don't drown them! I have never over wintered potted hosta before ... They all grew in the ground. But how exciting is this? As I was selecting which minis and smalls to bring in ... and cutting off the dry leaves from fall (duh, I didn't do the "trimming" after I placed them in the garage) guess what I discovered on 'Holy Mouse Ears' ? GREEN-tipped buds!!! YAHOO! I rooted around and found that the roots immediately beneath the crown also show fresh white growth! This is astounding to me, to say the least and I am so excited! I can't contain myself... |

Do you see the green tips to the right of the "crater" in the centre of the first photo? Here is a shot of the new roots...I learned a little trick from Cindy of Hosta Fever (my main hosta supplier) I slightly elevated the crown so some of the roots were exposed, but not too much. My intent was to encourage faster growth and exposure to sunlight and at the same time protect the crown from rot...being so small, it is susceptible to being smothered by surrounding soil and mulch -especially during a downpour. I do this primarily with my minis. Smith, you were the catalyst for me today! :-). Thank you again. It was most thoughtful of you for providing the link as well which I will read as soon as I post this. I neglected to mention how great your plants look! When did you bring them out? They are so far along already! Hope you and your grandfather enjoy the Hosta Collage! Jo |

I brought mine in around the 3rd of March. They were in our daughters room until I made the light hoods for my Grandfathers greenhouse and I had a couple extras, so I set one up in our bathroom. I actually make my own mix now. I buy pine bark and run it through a chipper/shredder and I have a 4 cubic foot bag of perlite and bags of peat. I shredded a bunch of bark last fall and put it in storage bins. I plan on doing a bunch of repotting this spring. The mix works great for grandpas Orchids. |

Darin Johnson commits to Washington men's basketball team
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Elk Grove, Calif., announced on Twitter that he would attend Washington next year.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Washington added a second member of the class of 2013 when Sacramento, Calif., prospect Darin Johnson announced he picked the Huskies over Oregon, San Diego State and Texas A&M.
"Just committed to the University of Washington!!" he wrote on his Twitter account.
Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound shooting guard, averaged 16.8 points last season at Franklin High in Elk Grove, Calif. He's considered a four-star prospect by Scout.com while Rivals.com and ESPN give him three stars.
He joins point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, a four-star recruit from Happy Valley, Ore., who has verbally committed to Washington.
The Huskies have three seniors on the 2012-13 roster and are expected to have at least four scholarships available for next season.
It's believed Johnson will sign with UW during the Nov. 14-21 early-signing period. It's unclear if Williams-Goss will sign at that time.
The Huskies have also targeted five-star prospects Aaron Gordon, a 6-foot-7 forward, and Isaac Hamilton, a 6-foot-4 guard.
NCAA rules prohibit coaches from commenting about recruits until they sign a letter of intent. However, coach Lorenzo Romar has adopted a custom from football coach Steve Sarkisian and tweeted "Woof" shortly before Johnson's decision became public. A "woof" tweet at UW means a recruit has chosen the Huskies.
Men's soccer
Senior Nate Sackeyfio scored his second goal of the season in the 80th minute and Ben Fisk added a second one five minutes later as Washington (9-3-2, 4-0-1 Pac-12) eked out a victory late against visiting Stanford (5-6-1, 2-2-1). Junior goalkeeper Spencer Richey had two saves in his seventh shutout of the year and the Huskies stayed on top of the Pac-12 standings.
• In a rematch of last Sunday's loss to CSU Bakersfield, Seattle University fell again at home, this time by a score of 6-2. Brady Ballew gave the Redhawks (2-9-1 3-2-0 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) a 1-0 lead 35 seconds into the game, but CSUB (6-3-4, 3-2-0 MPSF) scored three goals in each half to put it away.
Women's soccer
Seattle University fell to San Jose State, 2-1, in the teams' first match as conference opponents. After a 0-0 first half, the Spartans (4-10-1, 2-4-0) scored in the 47th and 76th minutes before Julia Besagno scored her first goal of the season on a penalty kick in the 87th minute.
Women's Golf
Seattle University finished 13th out of 19 teams at the Wyoming Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate in Palm Desert, Calif. Lori Pearson led the Redhawks, finishing in a tie for 15th with an 11-over 227.

Cincinnati ranked No. 2 for highest child poverty out of 76 major U.S. cities in 2012, the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) of Ohio said Friday.
The numbers provide a grim reminder that more than half of
Cincinnati's children lived in poverty in 2012, even as the city's urban core began a nationally recognized revitalization period.
With 53.1 percent of children in poverty, Cincinnati
performed better in CDF's ranking than Detroit (59.4 percent) but worse
than Cleveland (52.6 percent), Miami (48 percent) and Toledo (46
percent), which rounded out the top five.
The data, adopted from the U.S. Census Bureau, also shows Ohio's child poverty rate of 23.6 percent exceeded the national rate of 22.6 percent in 2012, despite slight gains over the previous year.
"When three of the top five American cities with the highest rates of child poverty are in Ohio, it is clear that children are not a priority here," said Renuka Mayadev, executive director of CDF of Ohio. "Significant numbers of our children do not meet state academic standards because their basic needs are not being met."
With the contentious streetcar debate over for now, some local leaders are already turning their attention to Cincinnati's disturbing levels of poverty.
Mayor John Cranley on Thursday told reporters that he intends to unveil an anti-poverty initiative next year. A majority of council members also told CityBeat that they will increase human services funding, which goes to agencies that address issues like poverty and homelessness, even as they work to structurally balance the city's operating budget.
Outside City Hall, the Strive Partnership and other education-focused organizations are working to guarantee a quality preschool education to all of Cincinnati's 3- and 4-year-olds. The issue, which will most likely involve a tax hike of some kind, could appear on the 2014 ballot.
The state of Ohio has approved funds to help a Cincinnati brewery expand its operations, as well as assisting two other local companies with projects.
The state will spend $663,000 to assist the Samuel Adams Brewery Co. in expanding operations on Poplar Street in the West End. The money will go toward buying the property needed for the expansion, which is located next to the existing brewery.
With another round of layoffs hitting The Enquirer and other Gannett newspapers nationwide, time will tell if a separate trend at the media company will occur soon in Cincinnati.
Gannett announced last week that it was pulling the plug on the print editions of two faux alt-weeklies, Metromixin Indianapolis and Noise in Lansing, Mich. Both will maintain an online presence, at least for now.
The move follows the cancellation of Metromix's print edition in Nashville last winter and the end of Velocity as a stand-alone paper in Louisville, which is being folded into The Courier-Journal.
A private, off-campus apartment complex geared toward students and located just blocks away from the University of Cincinnati is facing possible foreclosure.
The Bank of America has filed legal action in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas against the owner of McMillan Manor, a five-story, 122-unit apartment building that opened in 2006.
On Wednesday the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio unanimously ruled that Akron, Ohio-based energy supplier FirstEnergy Corp. must credit its Ohio customers $43.3 million for overcharging for renewable energy credits (RECs) from 2009-2011 that it purchased from its affiliate, FirstEnergy Solutions.
RECs are tradable, non-tangible energy credits that represent proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been sourced from an eligible renewable energy resource. First Energy Solutions is an energy generator and supplier, while First Energy Corp. is an electricity distributor, which means that it sources its electricity from elsewhere, which requires them to issue bids seeking the most competitively priced energy from a supplier such as First Energy Solutions.
According to the First Energy Corp. website, First Energy Solutions is the competitive subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. Both suppliers are based in Akron. An audit conducted by Exeter Associates Inc. revealed that FirstEnergy Corp. paid 15 times more than any other company in the country to purchase the RECs from FirstEnergy Solutions, and FirstEnergy Corp. passed that overcharge onto consumers.
In a copy of the order issued yesterday by the PUC obtained by CityBeat, it states that, "The Companies contend that, given the nascent market, lack of market information available to the Companies, and uncertainty regarding future supply and prices, the Companies' decisions to purchase in-state RECs were reasonable and prudent."
In summary, FirstEnergy contends that because it was scrambling to find a way to meet the state's Clean Energy Law requirements, it had to buy these RECs no matter the cost, and that there are no legal specifications within the Clean Energy Law that requires RECs be purchased or sold at market price; and that the costs issued to them, and subsequently, customers, weren't unreasonable.
The Ohio Consumers Counsel, however, says that there were cheaper alternatives available and that FirstEnergy should have checked with the PUC prior to paying 15 times more for RECs than any other country had in the past. If they'd rejected the exorbitant bids, says OCC, and instead consulted with PUC and OCC, they could have come up with a solution to prevent from charging customers excessively high rates.
In June 2012, FirstEnergy Solutions was the winning bidder in Cincinnati's energy aggregation program, which is supposed to allow us to receive lower "aggregate" rates for buying in bulk. At the time, FirstEnergy touted the merits of its "100 percent green" energy supply, sourced from wind, solar, biomass and other renewable resources. The bid was expected to save homeowners around $133 annually.
What enabled FirstEnergy to provide the "clean" energy was its use of a system with non-tangible renewable energy credit (RECs) that each represent proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been sources from a renewable energy resource.
Purchasing the credits from its subsidiary allows FirstEnergy Corp. to meet the state's renewable energy standard, which requires that by 2025 all Ohio utility companies provide at least 25 percent of their energy from renewable resources.
Because the lawsuit issued by the PUC examines only the amount paid for RECs during compliance periods between 2009 and 2011, Cincinnati customers who switched to FirstEnergy Solutions last June should not be affected, although the FirstEnergy arms' ambiguous behavior, says Dan Sawmiller, a Sierra Club member who manages Ohio's Beyond Coal campaign, is a likely indicator that the company may be engaging in other unethical practices related to consumer transparency.
The company has not been devoid of controversy in the past. In March, CityBeat reported on state environmental groups' concerns with the movement to lower requirements for defining renewable energy and energy efficiency; FirstEnergy was part of the bloc working to weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law in hopes of keeping corporation costs low. FirstEnergy was also chastised by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in 2009 for distributing and charging customers for energy-efficient light bulbs without receiving customers' authorization.
Sawmiller commended the PUC for fining First Energy, although he suggests the fine is likely modest for the actual damages. He still expresses concern about the need for corporate separation between the two FirstEnergy arms. "The commission left much to be desired in terms of transparency, leaving customers in the dark about what types of renewables are being provided, where are they coming from and at what cost," says Sawmiller in Sierra Club's press release.
Councilwoman Yvette Simpson is questioning why WCPO used a man named Jim Kiefer as a source for a story after he harassed her on social media with racist insults.
WCPO's Kevin Osborne
quoted Kiefer in a story, identifying him as a supporter for John Cranley's mayoral
campaign. (Full disclosure: Osborne formerly worked for CityBeat.)
When Simpson saw the story with Kiefer as a source, she says she immediately recognized him as someone who has repeatedly harassed her with racist remarks on Facebook.
Kiefer's Facebook page was publicly viewable prior to Simpson calling him out on Twitter yesterday, but it has since been made private.
On Oct. 20, the day before WCPO's story was published, Kiefer posted a message on his Facebook wall that said, "For my pick as worst councilperson in cincinnati (sic).... Evette (sic) getto (sic) Simpson!" Although the post included various grammatical and spelling errors, Kiefer then attached an image that said, "No you may not 'Axe' me a question. I don't speak Walmart."
Several of Simpson's colleagues, including Councilman Chris Seelbach and City Council candidate Mike Moroski, have come to Simpson's defense after she posted the image.
The issue for Simpson is whether a media outlet should be
using Kiefer as a source, considering his images and posts were publicly viewable on Facebook. Simpson says Osborne never responded to
her email asking whether he or WCPO is aware of Kiefer's history. Osborne is Facebook friends with Kiefer.
CityBeat contacted WCPO News Director Alex Bongiorno by phone and email to ask about WCPO's policy for vetting and identifying sources, but no response was given prior to the publishing of this story.
WCPO's story detailed criticisms from Cranley supporters against opponent Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who Simpson supports. Specifically, the story questioned why Qualls allegedly never sought an opinion from the Ohio Board of Ethics over whether her work as a realtor presents a potential conflict of interest with her support for the streetcar project, which could increase property values — and perhaps Qualls' compensation as a realtor — along its route.
It turns out Qualls had asked for a professional opinion on the ethical issue at least two times before,
but the city solicitor deemed the connection
between Qualls' work and the streetcar project too indirect and
speculative to present a conflict of interest, according to an email
from City Solicitor John Curp copied to CityBeat and other media outlets.
Kiefer called CityBeat after people on social media discussed CityBeat's various calls for comment for this story. Kiefer said the images were supposed to be jokes. "You have to have a sense of humor," he said.
The Cranley campaign says it has and wants nothing to do with Kiefer.
"John (Cranley) wouldn't know Jim Kiefer if he walked past him in
the street right now. It's not someone that he's ever met. It's not
someone that he's ever dealt with. It's not someone that the campaign
has ever dealt with," says Jay Kincaid, Cranley's campaign director.
"Whatever his views are don't reflect those of John."
Kincaid also points out that Cranley's record goes against
some of the bigotry perpetuated by Kiefer's posts. While on City Council, Cranley
championed and helped pass an anti-racial profiling ordinance and LGBT
protections in local hate crime laws.
Simpson's history with Kiefer goes back to at least June,
when Simpson says Kiefer went on a racist tirade against her on Facebook
in the middle of an online discussion over the city's parking plan. The
discussion has been deleted since then, but Simpson says
Kiefer told her to never return to the West Side of Cincinnati.
This is not the first time Kiefer touted images with bigoted connotations on his Facebook wall. In one instance, he "liked" an image of President Barack Obama in tribal regalia. In another, he posted an image of Barney Frank that mocked the former congressman's homosexuality.
A well-known Cincinnati philanthropist is among four people selected to receive the first-ever Women of Distinction Award by the national YWCA.
Francie Pepper is being recognized for her years of work in support of issues involving women, girls and racial justice.
Pepper has served on the board of the Cincinnati YWCA since 1996, and also served as chair of its board from 2000-04. She has played a critical role for women who have experienced domestic violence, co-chairing a YWCA capital campaign that raised $7.5 million for a larger shelter that tripled the agency's capacity to serve battered women and their children so they wouldn't have to be put on a waiting list.
Also, some campaign funds were used to restore the YWCA's historic headquarters, located on Walnut Street downtown, add a childcare center to the facility.
Further, Pepper has volunteered for numerous organizations and causes in Greater Cincinnati, and her work in support of domestic violence awareness programs has gotten national recognition. She is a major supporter of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College, an internationally recognized repository of manuscripts, archives, photographs, periodicals and other primary sources in women's history, including all of the YWCA's historical files.
Francie Pepper is the wife of John Pepper, who previously served as the chairman of the board at both Procter & Gamble and The Walt Disney Co.; she is the mother of David Pepper, a former Cincinnati city councilman and Hamilton County commissioner.
The Women of Distinction Award, bestowed by the YWCA USA, honors professional women from the private and public sectors across the United States who have demonstrated excellence, leadership and integrity in their fields and in the community, serving as role models for other successful women.
Nominations from YWCAs across the United States were solicited to find leaders whose work has made an impact on women's economic empowerment and racial justice.
Other award recipients this year are:
• Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who survived an assassination attempt in January 2011, and is recovering from her injuries;
• Lt. Col. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran and ex-Army helicopter pilot who combat wounds led to the amputation of her legs and cost her the use of her right arm; and
The Anna Louise Inn today won another case in front of the Cincinnati Zoning Board of Appeals. The ruling upheld a Historic Conservation Board decision that gave Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the inn, a conditional use permit that will allow the social service agency to carry on with a planned $13 million renovation. Western & Southern in a statement given to reporters following the decision vowed to appeal the ruling.
At the hearing, Western & Southern attorney Francis Barrett, who is
the brother of Western & Southern CEO John Barrett, continued his
argument that the Anna Louise Inn is a "high-crime area." The accusation
is meant to disqualify the Inn for the conditional use permit, which
requires that the building's use will not be detrimental to public
health and safety or negatively affect property values in the
neighborhood. During an Aug. 27 hearing, the Historic Conservation Board found no direct evidence connecting residents of the Anna Louise Inn to
criminal activity in the neighborhood.
Barrett also emphasized Western & Southern's stance that continuing on the current path set by the Historic Conservation Board is a waste of taxpayer money because the Inn is receiving public funds. Barrett labeled the funds "excessive expenditures." However, that argument has little bearing on whether the Inn deserves a conditional use permit, because it's not relevant to zoning laws and rules.
Tim Burke, Cincinnati Union Bethel's attorney, began his defense of the Anna Louise Inn by calling the ongoing case one of the most "frustrating" of his career. He suggested Western & Southern is just continuing its attempts to delay the Inn's renovations as much as possible.
Regarding the charge that the Anna Louise Inn has adverse effects on public health and safety, Burke told the Zoning Board of Appeals that the only adverse effect is on Western & Southern because "they want the property and can't get it." He claimed there is no proof that the Anna Louise Inn perpetuates crime in the area, and testimony and evidence presented in the case has proven as much.
The case is only one of many in the ongoing conflict between Cincinnati Union Bethel and Western & Southern, which CityBeat previously covered in-depth ("Surrounded by Skyscrapers," issue of Aug. 15). Cincinnati Union Bethel wants to renovate the Anna Louise Inn in part with $10 million in tax credit financing from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and a $2.6 million loan funded by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that was awarded by the city. Western & Southern says it wants to use the Lytle Park area, where the Inn is located, for private economic development.
The series of cases began when Judge Norbert Nadel ruled on May 27 that the Anna Louise Inn classifies as a "special assistance shelter," which requires a different kind of zoning permit than the previous classification of "transitional housing." That ruling was appealed by Cincinnati Union Bethel to the Ohio First District Court of Appeals, which held hearings on Oct. 30 and is expected to give a ruling soon.
The Conservation Board staff reviewed the standards required for conditional use and the Anna Louise Inn's application, concluding that the facility should be allowed to operate as a "special assistance shelter."
The Board is expected to rule on the permit Aug. 27 after receiving the recommendation and hearing testimony from the Inn's administrators and supporters. Representatives from Western & Southern Financial Group, which sued the Anna Louise Inn over zoning violations in 2011, will also have an opportunity to testify.
CityBeat last week reported the details of Western & Southern's failure to purchase the Anna Louise Inn when it had the chance and the company's subsequent attempts to force the Inn out of the neighborhood ("Surrounded by Skyscrapers", issue of Aug. 15).
Tim Burke, lawyer for the Anna Louise Inn, is pleased with the staff's determination that the renovation met all qualifications for conditional use.
"I was certainly optimistic that we would get a positive recommendation," Burke says. "This is obviously an extremely positive recommendation and we agree with it."
The staff recommendation states that the Anna Louise Inn "creates, maintains and enhances areas for residential developments that complement and support the downtown core" and that "no evidence has been presented of any negative public health, safety, welfare or property injury due to the current use." It also notes that "the Anna Louise Inn is a point of reference from which all other new and renovated buildings must be designed in order to be compatible with the district."
The Anna Louise Inn only applied for the conditional use permit because Judge Norbert Nadel ruled in Western & Southern's favor on May 4, determining that the Inn is a "special assistance shelter" rather than "transitional housing," which froze $12.6 million in city- and state-distributed loans for the Inn's planned renovation. The Anna Louise Inn appealed that decision but also applied for the conditional use permit from the Conservation Board under the judge's definition, because special assistance shelters qualify for conditional use permits under the city's zoning code.
Francis Barrett, lawyer for Western & Southern, appears to have taken exception to the Anna Louise Inn's application. He sent a letter to the Conservation Board Aug. 20 stating that "the description of the proposed uses set forth in the application for conditional use approval … is not the same as nor consistent with the Court's decision."
Barrett didn't return a message left by CityBeat with the receptionist at his law firm after a Western & Southern media relations representative directed CityBeat to contact him there. Francis Barrett is the brother of Western & Southern CEO John F. Barrett.
UPDATE: Francis Barrett returned CityBeat's call after this story was published. His comments are at the end.
Burke doesn't know what Barrett meant by suggesting that the proposed uses in the Anna Louise Inn's application for conditional use don't follow Nadel's May 4 ruling.
"We're doing what they argued in court," Burke says. "Judge Nadel's decision doesn't ever exactly say 'you're a special assistance shelter.' It certainly refers to the Off the Streets program that way and it certainly refers to (the Anna Louise Inn) as a single unified use. It says 'go back to the appropriate administrators and seek conditional use approval.' That's what we're doing."
Stephen MacConnell, president and CEO of Cincinnati Union Bethel, which owns the Anna Louise Inn, says the hearing will involve testimony from himself and Mary Carol Melton, CUB executive vice president, along with supporters of the Anna Louise Inn.
"We'll bring a few witnesses just to basically lay out the situation," MacConnell says. "The board will already have the staff recommendation, so the witnesses that we'll bring will briefly testify about how we meet the required standards."
Western & Southern will have a chance to appeal if the Historic Conservation Board grants the conditional use permit. Burke expects that to happen.
"What I'm pissed about is Western & Southern, they don't give a damn," Burke says. "We can do exactly what Judge Nadel told us to do and get it approved as a conditional use. They will appeal it to the zoning board of appeals. We can win it there and they will appeal it and get it back in front of Judge Nadel and then I don't know what will happen."
The hearing is scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. Monday, Aug. 27 at Centennial Plaza Two, 805 Central Ave., Seventh Floor.
UPDATE 5:36 P.M.: Regarding the letter Francis Barrett sent the Conservation Board Aug. 20 stating that "the description of the proposed uses set forth in the application for conditional use approval … is not the same as nor consistent with the Court's decision," Barrett said Friday evening: "I just felt that the description in the submission was different from the description in the decision. I would say it was just not complete."
When asked for specifics, Barrett said: "I'd have to get the decision out and look at it carefully. I don't have it in front of me I just thought in general."
Barrett said Western & Southern will give a presentation to the Historic Conservation Board on Monday but declined to elaborate because it wasn't finalized.
When asked if Western & Southern will appeal a ruling in favor of the Anna Louise Inn, Barrett said: "It all depends what the decision states."
The study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found salaried workers fared much better than hourly workers, and all-cause mortality was below expectations for them despite increased malignancies in blood, bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and thymus cells.
Hourly workers weren't so lucky, according to the study. They had above-average cancer mortality rates in comparison to the rest of the U.S. population, but tests only provided evidence for a connection between hourly workers and intestinal cancer.
Previous studies also found a link between non-malignant respiratory disease and exposure to radiation, but the NIOSH study found no such connection. The discrepancy could be due to "improved exposure assessment, different outcome groupings and extended follow-up" in the NIOSH study, according to the study's abstract.
The NIOSH study followed 6,409 workers who were employed at Fernald for at least 30 days between 1951 and 1985, following them through 2004.
Fernald was initially surrounded by controversy in 1984 when it was revealed that it was releasing millions of pounds of uranium dust into the atmosphere, causing radioactive contamination in surrounding areas. The controversy was elevated when Dave Bocks, an employee at the factory, mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead at a uranium processing furnace. Some suspected Bocks was murdered for allegedly being a whistleblower, but no evidence of foul play was ever officially recorded.

Historically, your parenthetical "(s)" shouldn't have been. Adamant monotheism appears to have followed agriculture, perhaps is a direct result of the more stable and geographically limited lifestyle that agriculture imposes. If you want to take your thought to its logical end, you could argue that all followers of Abrahamic religions should abandon them for pre-ag polytheist/deist/etc views.
As for why... basically the same reason we don't quit our jobs and head for the wilderness to live a truly primal existence...we don't want to give up the things we value about modern existence unless there is a strong argument that we truly must. We don't want to give up agriculture, modern surgical practices, computers, and so on, we just want to choose a more beneficial path within current day existence.
Besides that, you've just invented a variation on pascal's wager. As P's W demonstrates, you CAN'T truly join a religion for ulterior motives because it's motivated by self interest. In other words, a self-serving lie. You can't profess belief in god on the hope of salvation because it's a lie. You can't profess a belief in a spiritual or deist world to be more primal because that would be another lie. You either feel a thing or you don't - faking it doesn't count.

Hard freeze could hurt crops
Friday, April 18, 2014 1:23 PM
A fast-moving cold front brought snow to the Texas Panhandle, hail to the central part of the state and an official hard freeze to Terry County early Tuesday morning, which could have ramifications for area crops.
Ron McQueen, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lubbock, says temperatures Sunday in West Texas were in the 80s, but then plummeted into the evening. A half-inch of snow fell on Amarillo and other areas.
Some flurries were seen in Brownfield Monday morning, but there was no accumulation.
Locally, temperatures reached a high of 84 degrees on Sunday afternoon -- according to weather observations recorded by the Texas Tech University Mesonet weather monitoring system -- before plummeting to a low of 30 degrees early Monday morning.
Tuesday was Tax Day and as the thermometer dropped even further, for area grape growers, it was taxing indeed.
AgriLife Extension Agent Scott Russell told the Brownfield News that he saw temperature readings well below the freezing mark.
"It was a hard freeze," he said. "In parts of the county, around 4 a.m. it was below 27 degrees and I saw fluctuations as low as 24 degrees."
Temperatures on Tuesday reached a high of 64 degrees in the wake of the passing front.
Russell said April 15 is the average date of the last freeze for Terry County, so he is hopeful temps won't drop to dangerous levels again this Spring.
Grape vines can produce three buds in a growing season, with the first bud producing the best crop.
If local vines lose that bud after this freeze, they will put on a secondary bud, then a third if necessary.
In 2013, there was one freeze a week through the month of April, which got all three buds and devastated local vineyards, even killing some vines down to the root.
After Monday's early morning freeze, damage will vary in intensity around the county and depending on what variety of grapes are planted.
Whites bud out earlier and will be hit harder than reds, which mature slightly later.
"I've seen messages from growers predicting anywhere between 25 percent damage to 80 percent," Russell said. "With just one late freeze, we'll have secondary buds which isn't as good as the first but they can still have a better year than last year."
The agent said the chance of another freeze diminishes with each passing day in April.
Cliff Bingham, one of the largest vineyard operators in the state told the News that the freeze hit some of his vines hard near Meadow.
"We didn't fare real good," he said. "A rough estimate is that we lost about 40 percent of the total crop, but some varieties didn't lose any at all."
Some local growers tried to fight Mother Nature through the coldest hours by burning hay between vineyard rows.
Russell said some growers felt like they did some good
The smell of smoke was prevalent around the county early Tuesday morning.
Bingham said his vineyard encompasses too many acres to attempt that tactic.
Russell said wheat is another crop that could have been damaged by the hard freeze.
"It's still too early to tell, but it could have been severely damaged if the wheat was in bloom or heading out," he said. "We won't be able to tell until next week."
He said the frigid temps could also have hit local fruit and nut trees.
"I looked at some pecan trees and it looked like that first flush of pollen and the male flower structures were shriveled and dead."
The agent said low temps hurt plants because the liquid in the cells of new growth freezes and ruptures the cell walls, which burst and kills tissue.
Spring weather was active across the Lone Star State because of the system that brought cooler temps to the South Plains.
Strong thunderstorms and hail moved through Central Texas earlier in the week extending into the Houston area. The Dallas and San Antonio areas saw temperatures drop into the 40s.
Much of the state warmed up Tuesday before another cold front moved in Thursday.
Friday morning in Brownfield was chilly with light mist.
At press time there was still no measurable moisture in the area.

Sorry, I was so caught up in the crazy & frenzy last minute trading that I didn't get a chance to fully answer your original question... Anyhow as far as I know Habit isn't bigger than In-N-Out which has almost 300 locations--mostly in the southwest and over 28,ooo employees. However, I have to admit Habit has what I consider IMHO better quality burgers offered at somewhat better prices. Still the run-up today was crazy--way overdone. Truth be told I would have been happier if it closed around the mid $20s today before moving higher in later Qs. Right now I'm starting to suspect when the profit-taking sell-off eventually occurs, it will not be pretty.
If you're looking to get in, I'd wait...went up too fast on the 1st day... Not that I'm complaining but given the laws of physics...well you get the picture, right. Don't chase it, let it come back in a bit before opening a position. Still I have to admit...my one and major concern is that they off expand, but we'll see.
Presently I think the total is 109 current and under construction locations.
They presently have locations in:
Arizona: 6 Locations
California: 97 Locations
New Jersey: 1 Location [by looking to expand]
Utah: 5 Locations
They've recently also announced the expansion of the chain to include 15 franchisee locations in Las Vegas and another 25 in Seattle over the next few years, as well as in early 2015 they plan to begin construction in Northern Virginia.
True, still I can hear Cramer tonight hitting the SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL button.
He's family... Wife's 1st cousin. BTW, I plan on buying another 800 to 1000 shares if it dips lower in the next few days.
It was founded back in 1969 in Santa Barbara, California and up until 7 years ago was privately owned by the same family. In 2007 it was purchased by KarpReilly, a private equity firm which rapidly began expanding the chain. Their burgers are some of the best I've ever had—I should know, after all I own a few fast food restaurants myself. Still with 5MM shares outstanding… It seemed like a decent investment. But I guess time will ultimately be the judge...still I'm about 95% on the day, I only wish I had more than 700 shares.
I was able to scrounge up a few shares through Wells Fargo but not enough.
Great, now were going to be subjected to headline grabbing statements like "Is Google looking to buy Netflix? Word on the street is that they are!" from CNBC… God help us if Cramer gets into the act.
I've seen stranger things happen.
MMs triggered stop losses today to keep their options writing friends happy.
20 point move, seems like the work of some hedge fund.
I guess you're right, PCLN can do 23 pts in its sleep.
Same here. In fact I might not even wait for that...thinking of getting out this Friday.
Those guys sukk, worse than Creamer in my book.
1139? You really think it could retrace to that level again?
I'm not one myself, so what I want to know is if the market starts to tread water again, or even sell-off further how much of a retracement are we looking at given recent gains? 5%, 10%, What? Best estimates if you can. THX.
You can thank ETrade Pro for that, originally I too was shooting for 130 but then had second thoughts so I trimmed my order by a 1/3 and lowered my limit price. You can say, I chickened out a bit. Still in the end I ended up paying a bit more--as I mentioned before, I ended up paying 136 for the rest which I could have bought originally @ 128 as well. Just goes to show you--over thinking & procrastinating has a price as well.
You got guts. I'll give you that. Persistent as well. I to started nipping at it after you mentioned it--bought originally 700 @ 128 and change this past Oct. Wanted to play the bounce, but ended up added another 350 @ 136 a week and a half later... Now, I can't make up my mind the closer it gets to its 52-week high. I guess I'll end up doing the same as soon as it gets closer to 170 range. THX for the reply and GL.
Started watching it after you mentioned it awhile back.
Don't know what to make of it because it's been up everyday since Sept.'14.
165 seems like a given at this point, possibly even 170 if this keeps up.
What's your take, I'd be interested in knowing since you traded it before?
Don't remind me.

Every once in a while, something comes along that forever changes the way you think of yourself, the world around you and your approach to life. For me, that something was more of a journey; one that began when I read an article of the Opinionator section of the NY Times last summer. The article addressed the Dunning-Kruger Effect, which defines generally that "our incompetence masks our ability to recognize our incompetence."

Re:Just don't try... (193 comments)
Especially the particle accelerator and the fusion reactor. No, I'm not kidding. And those weren't top prize winners.
Re:Congratulations. (193 comments)
Actually, all of this is disclosed at the fair. Any student working in a high-end research lab (or frankly, any place more advanced than your standard high school lab) is required to submit forms signed by the head of said institutions and detail the size and scope of the involvement of the lab. This includes graduate student mentors, access to equipment, and other information.
Re:I wonder... (193 comments)
Having judged at this fair, I can tell you the answer is none. I'm not saying there weren't projects that failed to live up to the expectations that the judges had, but nearly all of the projects were innovative in some way.

Re:Does it work in reverse? (250 comments)
No. Blood must be drawn directly from the venous system (or arterial system, depending on the goal). At that depth, there aren't even that many capillaries.
Re:motion detection? (163 comments)
Not as such. The method in question says specifically that the system involves PDAs and other such devices (claims 12-18 of the patent application). Additionally, as the conversation above asserts, the claims relate to reversal of motion in six directions. Since a mouse does not detect rotational movements or vertical movements (lifting the mouse off the desk does nothing), this would not constitute an infringement.

Re:radioactive bacteria (237 comments)
You scoff at the above poster, but there are (non-lethal) mutations possible that could make these particular bacteria more dangerous to people. A single mutation causes an amino acid change in the protein that converts uranium to uranite. Now, instead of uranium, it binds phosphorus (or calcium, or ferrous ions, or whatever) because its pore size is different. Instead of removing uranium for the water, it now creates large, insoluble phosphorus deposits. Even if the remaining bacteria remove the uranium, you are still left with a completely unlivable ecosystem for micro-organisms (and higher life forms which feed on them, and so on), because basic nutrients are in extremely short supply. In essence, you've traded one barren landscape for another, and that just fails to help anyone. This isn't a terribly likely scenario. 99.999% of mutations are likely to be either fatal to the microorganisms or irrelevant. On the other hand, if a group of bacteria are exposed to 10^m photons of gamma radiation...I'm guessing at least a few beneficial, non-desirable mutations could occur.

(a) Notwithstanding the prima facie speed limits, any vehicle proceeding upon a highway at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at such time shall be driven in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb, except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway.
(b) If a vehicle is being driven at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at such time, and is not being driven in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb, it shall constitute prima facie evidence that the driver is operating the vehicle in violation of subdivision (a) of this section.
This is a pretty typical law - I know that PA has pretty much the same code. Doing a little quick research, State "keep right" laws - you can see that most states (31/50) have the exact same laws. Six states (IL,KS,KY,ME,MA,NJ) actually forbid use of the left lane, and two states (PA, WA) have a slight ban on the using the left. The rest of the states have no specific law, though all of these states require you not to obstruct the flow of traffic.
Re:and yet NYC still has traffic jams (882 comments)
Yeah - I can't really complain about traffic (I'm from Pittsburgh. We have traffic, just not a lot of it.). But we still get this. On the two main highways, there are two major tunnels (Ft. Pitt Tunnel, Squirrel Hill Tunnel). Both are two lanes in each direction (separate tubes), and during rush hour are always a major point of congestion. Three of the four tunnel entrances are bottleneck points, meaning you expect them to back up at least a little. But the fourth is clear roadway for a solid mile up to the tunnel. I think that people are afraid the tunnel monster will awaken if they drive past too quickly. It's not so much that there is traffic. It's that when I see traffic for no reason, I'm hoping there's a pile corpses at the head of the line to justify it.

Re:Unfortunate consequences of life (612 comments)
A good point - I'd mod you up, but no points today.
Re:Unfortunate consequences of life (612 comments)
Actually, I think that the point still stands. Cars in similar circumstances (neighborhood parked in, type of car, etc.) are less likely to be broken into when parked in a big pool of light than on a street where no-one can see anything at all. Merely saying that someone can commit a crime in bright light is not saying that it's more likely. I would suggest that you examine news stories to see which phrase comes up more: "daring daytime robbery" or "daring nighttime robbery". I'm guessing you find the first one a lot more.
Re:Unfortunate consequences of life (612 comments)
There's another thing here - you don't need a completely dark patch in order for the night sky to be seen in much of it's glory. I also spent a good chunk of time in Morgantown, WV (ok, it was actually a bad chunk of time, but you get my drift). Though there was a lot of ambient light (3 lights in front of my apartment building alone, one of about a dozen in the complex), all I had to do to get a fairly good view of the sky was tromp up the hill a ways so that some trees and ground were between me and the light. Granted, this was when the lights were off in the stadium down the hill, but the point remains the same. Although I couldn't make out every feature of the sky, I could definitely see the milky way and most of the familiar northern constellations, plus occasional satellites and planets.
Unfortunate consequences of life (612 comments)
While it is a sad fact that you can't watch the night sky a lot of places (and it is - I remember taking a road trip from Chicago up to Wisconsin one night to watch a meteor shower), it seems to be an unfortunate necessity. Here's an analogy for those who don't get the point. If you've ever been camping, you know that if you want to stargaze, you have to wander away from the campfire. If its a group of 5 or so people camping, its a small fire, and it doesn't take you long to meander away, look up in awe, and wander back. Now increase your camp size. Now its fifty people. You have bigger fires, and probably more than one. You have enough people that at least one fire is burning all night. Increase size by another factor of ten and you find more fires. Now you probably qualify as a community. You probably have specialized fires for a blacksmith or other craftsman. You likely have dozens of fires, a good many of which will burn throughout the night. The distance you must walk increases proportionately. Now we're going to make the jump. With 10,000 times the residents of our hypothetical community, a large city would have 1000s of fires (now electric lights) to provide security. At this point - one has to travel a significant distance to really get a good look at the sky (from downtown Chicago, the distance is approximately 80 miles if you're traveling north). Yes it's sad - but in order to maintain dense civilizations that give us all the things that better the human condition, we must sacrifice some of those things. And as others have pointed out, it's not as if those things are completely gone. Take a bus or a train ride. Drive out to the middle of nowhere.

This is going to be designed for people who are actually clueless. I give you a direct quote from the page on the site. "While more searchable information is cool, nearly half of all searches don't result in the answer that people are seeking." I don't know about you, but I only fail to get the information I want if I'm looking for something really esoteric or poorly defined, like what the name of the bar is next door to where Fuddruckers used to be on the North Shore, or the name of the guy who invented the Eton Wall Game. You can't get that information on the web because it doesn't exist there (and may not exist anywhere). The problem with most of these comments is who they come from. Slashdotters (like myself), typically don't have a ton of problems with the internet. This isn't designed around us. It's designed for people who really have no idea how the whole thing works.

Looks cool!
-fidjit Primary: Empty Secondary: Empty Kegged: Kolsh Planned: Witbeer
That's awsome!!! Great job!
That is a really great idea.
Pretty Sweet. So is it Bud or Box Wine in that keg?
It's my Alaskan Amber clone. Turned out pretty damn good too. The woman likes my home brew, but sometimes she's only interested in a glass of wine. She's got her tapper, now I've got mine.
Yes! I was trying to figure something like this out but never came up with anything worth trying. Excellent.
That is just pure genius. I have been racking my head trying to figure out a way to get the ol' Mr. Beer out of the fridge, full of Ed Wort's Apfelwien. Awesome idea!
cool idea. that looks like the same frigidaire refrigerator i have for my kegerator. how are the glass shelves holding up to the weight of the keg?
It's deflecting a little bit, about 1/4", but nothing too concerning. If I set a 12 pack of bottles next to it centered on the shelf I'd probably have to brace the underside of the shelf with some steel, which I might do in the near future. I like the glass shelves much better than the wire ones. My last fridge had the wire and bottles would occasionally play dominoes with each other.

CMMG AR15 .22lr conversion kit
Here is the story behind this item for sale.
Many many moons ago, I bought a Daniel Defensive AR15. I bought a .22 conversion kit (it says Brownells but it really is CMMG) but never really used it. Late last year, I tested the conversion kit and it pretty much failed every 3rd round or so. I contacted CMMG and they exchanged it for a brand new one. I put about 10 rounds through it, but it still fails.
I am not interested in keeping this and figuring out the issues because I bought a S&W MP AR15-22 and am very happy with it. So I am selling the CMMG conversion kit and 4 Magazines, 25 Round. Reviews on the web give it many thumbs up. It could be my gun, it could be the magazines. I do not know. So I am selling it AS IS with this disclosure.
I am not looking to make a profit, just the current price, which considering the current state of affairs, I think it is fair. If you want to offer more, I would be happy to take it.
CMMG conversion Kit - $200
4 magazines @ $25 - $100
Total - $300

Studio a+i Reimagines AIDS Memorial Park Design as a Fresh Green Triangular Canopy
Posted By Molly Cotter On July 23, 2012 @ 5:50 pm In Architecture,Gallery,Green Space,Manhattan | No Comments
In January, we reported that Studio a+i [5]won the international competition to design the AIDS Memorial Park [6] in the West Village but their original design, while breathtaking, was denied by community members this spring. Not to be discouraged, the team went back to the drawing board and has just unveiled their latest idea [7]- a beautiful triangular trellis [8]that will shade the 1,600 square foot plot near the old St. Vincent's hospital [9] and serve as a place of reflection and meditation.
Studio a+i's first design called "Infinite Mirrors" [12] was a fenced in forest of reflecting glass walls. Material and safety issues aside, the memorial focused on the multitude of people lost due to the AIDS [13] pandemic. The latest design has been praised [14] as a much more quiet and abstract approach – a subtle and soft reminder of the numerous AIDS victims. The trellis vines celebrate growth and life while a circular cut-out allows the sun to shine into a reflecting pool [15] carved with inspirational quotes. The structure is at the same time a comforting canopy and an outdoor sculptural experience. We love the new design for its beautiful green solution to both memorialize New Yorkers and invigorate the rebuilding of the St. Vincent's [16] area.

Dating Can Be As Much Of A Mirror As A Full-On Relationship
So from my friend's personal revelations, I hope other divorcing men and women are reminded to take the dating and sex scene slow, instead of throwing themselves into another serious relationship. I'm not saying don't get out there; no way! Just remember that each and every person you date, whether you see him once or for six months off and on, is a mirror reflecting back at you. So give pause, contemplate, and take a closer look in that mirror.
