Tennessee Congressman Denies Hypocrisy for Talk of Abortion
A Republican congressman from Tennessee is telling supporters he's not a hypocrite for discussing abortion with a mistress more than a decade ago. But now he may have to defend his medical license.
Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a physician who opposes abortion rights, says in a letter to his supporters that the relationship with a patient occurred while DesJarlais was separated from his first wife.
DesJarlais apologizes for what he describes as an "imprudent approach." But he says he used stark language about abortion try to get the woman to acknowledge that she wasn't pregnant.
Meanwhile, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington on Monday filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Health arguing that DesJarlais conducted an inappropriate sexual relationship with a patient.

In the Garden
Tips on renewing leggy annuals and perennials
Ciscoe Morris, Seattle Times garden writer, offers tips on renewing leggy annuals and perennials; it's time to let broad-leaved evergreens begin hardening off for winter; and a number of annuals including marigolds, zinnias, salvias and geraniums will stop blooming and go to seed if you do not remove the old flowers.
Special to The Seattle Times
Ciscoe's picks
An Evening at the Japanese Garden: Enjoy sake, sushi, chamber music and more at the second annual Garden Party 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. July 22 at the Seattle Japanese Garden, Washington Park Arboretum (1075 Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle). Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com/event/177323).
Around this time of year, annuals and perennials in containers and hanging baskets can become leggy with flowers only at the end of long branches. At the same time, overly rambunctious growers can overwhelm neighboring plants, crowding or even suffocating them for lack of light and air.
Renew leggy annuals and perennials by cutting back about half of the stems 2/3rds of the way to the base now. When those stems grow back and begin to bloom in about two weeks, cut back the remaining stems the same way. While you're at it, cut back aggressive growers as far as necessary to give surrounding plants space for healthy growth.
Provide adequate water and keep fertilizing regularly with a well-balanced, soluble flower food. Your containers should look great all the way through late-October.
Stop fertilizing
shrubs now
All shrubs, especially broad-leaved evergreens such as rhododendron, pieris, camellia, hebe, etc., need to calm down, stop growing and harden off to get ready for the winter cold. Fertilizing after mid-July can cause them to continue growing into fall and winter, leaving them susceptible to catastrophe if we get an early freeze such as occurred last November.
The only exception, as far as I'm concerned, is the rose. I work in a last shot of alfalfa meal and rose food into the soil around the drip line in mid to late August. To me it's worth the risk because feeding at that time encourages roses to bloom beautifully in September and October.
It's true that if you follow my advice and fertilize in August, you could lose your rose if we experience another November freeze. But, oh, la, la! Think how much fun it will be to shop for a new one!
Deadhead like
a wild banshee
A great number of flowering annuals such as the marigold, zinnia, salvia, geranium and cosmos will stop blooming if you allow them to go to seed. The same is true of repeat blooming perennials such as Dahlia, Armeria (thrift), Scabiosa, some types of Kniphofia (torch lilies) and Gaillardia.
These plants know they're on Earth to reproduce, and if you leave the spent flowers on too long, they'll form seed. Knowing that they already raised a family, they'll kick back, get a good tan, snack on fertilizer and do nothing else for the rest of summer.
To keep them blooming, make a habit of pinching or pruning off the old flowers on a regular basis. Repeat blooming roses also require deadheading to keep them blossoming all summer long. Always cut back to an outward facing branchlet with five leaves. There are hormones there that will cause a new rose to grow much sooner than if you cut to one with only three leaves.
There's no harm in waiting to cut off a cluster until the entire bunch is over the hill, but if you remove individual spent blossoms every night, your garden will look its best because visitors will never see a spent rose on your plant.

We're all in favor of reducing violent crime. It's just that pro-gunners have a method that is proven effective. Anti-gunners don't.
John Moses Browning day is January 24th, 2011
I got the LFK for my step-daughter off of Amazon for Christmas several days ago.
That knife is TINY! Good thing she has tiny hands! I hope she actually carries the thing since it'll fit into even a girl's pocket (Not actually a sexist comment! Have you tried putting something in a pocket designed for women/girls recently? They're just for show, I swear!)
Great find! I love Amazon...
That which does not kill us leaves us broken and bleeding...
Dont mess with the guy who can barely stand up. His remaining options for self-defense don't include your survival.

I just bought myself a Kershaw Blur for $34 + free shipping at Amazon. To celebrate moving to Texas (hopefully, soon), where I will be able to carry a knife that is not required by law to be able to cut my fingers off.

Yup, that's it. And the Manhattan DA has just started a campaign to enforce the law -- at least one NYPD LEO on Bladeforums claims there's now a ticket quota for pocket knives. (I'm serious. I wish I weren't.)
Google "Cyrus Vance" and "illegal knives" to read all about how my streets are being made safer by EMS and Home Depot having to settle out of court for millions for selling "gravity knives," which are defined as any knife that can be opened using centrifugal force. (I'm pretty sure I learned in physics there is no such thing. And if there is, it is not the same as gravity. Gravity is gravity. It pulls things in towards the middle of an object, it doesn't hurl them away. But what do I know -- the DA is clearly the expert here. And very zealous about getting those evil pocket folders out of citizens' pockets and back in the home. Barefoot and pregnant, perhaps. That's probably the only way he thinks 4" knives can avoid destroying society.)

It is used by management to gauge the current performance of New Residential without taking into account (i) gains and losses, which although they represent a part of our recurring operations, are subject to significant variability and are only a potential indicator of future economic performance; (ii) incentive compensation paid to our Manager; and (iii) non-capitalized deal costs, which management believes are not part of our core operations.
Management believes that the adjustments to compute Core Earnings specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify the operating performance of the assets that form the core of our activity, assist in comparing the core operating results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate New Residential's current performance using the same measure that management uses to operate the business. New Residential changed its definition of Core Earnings to exclude incentive compensation paid to our Manager and non-capitalized deal costs in the third quarter of 2013.
Core Earnings does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of our liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Our calculation of Core Earnings may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Gov. John Kasich says he'll sign a bill that would freeze the state's renewable energy and energy efficiency standards for two years and then weaken them after that.
Kasich announced his intention to sign SB310 shortly after the bill passed the Ohio House yesterday, paving the way for Ohio to become the first state to roll back already approved energy-efficiency standards. 37 states have passed some form of renewable energy standards.
Conservatives in Ohio's state house have taken to disliking the standards, even though the state passed nearly unanimously in 2008. Most memorably, Bill Seitz, a Republican state senator from Cincinnati, called them Stalinist last year.
Kasich yesterday called the current standards "unrealistic" and costly for Ohio's economy.
But others, including conservative-leaning business groups, say the standards freeze will actually be more costly.
Ohio Manufacturer's Association says it fears the measure will increase
energy costs and make Ohio less competitive industrially.
Honda, one of Ohio's biggest employers, has also come out against the freeze.
last-minute provisions inserted during debate on the bill in the state Senate could make it harder for renewable energy companies to get loans or
increase capacity. Another last-minute change jettisons requirements
that power companies get half their renewable energy in the state of
Ohio ranks fifth nationally in green jobs, a recent Bureau
of Labor Statistics study says. Nearly 140,000 Ohioans work in
industries related to renewable energy or environmental conservation.
groups have also criticized SB310. An analysis by the Ohio Sierra Club says that the average Duke Energy customer in the Cincinnati area will
spend $117 more for energy over the next two years thanks to the
standards freeze.
Ohio's renewable energy and energy efficiency standards aim to reduce the state's
reliance on fossil fuels in favor of greener renewable energy sources
like solar and wind energy.
That law originally called for a 5.5
percent increase in the use of renewable sources of energy by 2017.
Overall, the law aims to have 12.5 percent of all energy sold by
power companies in the state coming from renewable sources by 2025.
SB310 will pause upcoming
standards increases and keep them at their current levels until 2017,
when a smaller, 3.5 percent increase will kick back in.
Kasich acknowledged that alternative energy is a big part of Ohio's economy but said there are problems with the standards that needed to be ironed out.
Americans for Prosperity, the big-money conservative group backed by petroleum and gas magnates the Koch Brothers, has been a cheerleader for the standards delays. The group released statements today applauding SB310's passage. Also supporting the bill were coal and gas powered utilities throughout the state.
The organization's Ridership and Development Director celebrated Metro's announcement on Thursday that it will provide health and dental benefits to domestic partners of its employees.
Lahman said she has used same-sex partner benefits in the past, when she went back to school.
"[My partner and I] know first-hand what it means to have the flexibility and equality as others do in the workplace," Lahman said at a press conference at Metro's office. "This is just a fantastic day and I'm so proud that Metro is able to do the right thing."
Metro is the first employer to say it will use Cincinnati's domestic partner registry if the initiative passes next week in City Council. Should it pass, Cincinnati will be the 10th city in Ohio to have a domestic partner registry.
Mayor John Cranley and City Councilman Chris Seelbach attended the press conference and spoke in support of the move.
Cranley called it "symbolically and substantively right" and during the announcement shared a memory in honor of Maya Angelou, her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at former President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993.
"She ended it with 'Good morning,'" Cranley said. "I think this is a good morning for Cincinnati, a new day."
Many of Cincinnati's major employers, including Procter & Gamble, Kroger and Macy's offer same-sex and domestic partner benefits.
Seelbach said while those companies already have systems to evaluate domestic partnerships, the registry will give other companies like Metro an easy way to provide those benefits.
"We are now leaders in the nation and the region to make sure everyone is welcome in our city, regardless of who they love," Seelbach said. "Everyone should bring their full self to their workplace and be able to do that with health benefits for their partners."
Seelbach said while Metro is the first to say it will use the registry, other companies like Cincinnati Bell have expressed interest.
Metro is a nonprofit tax-funded public service of the Southwestern Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) with around 850 employees.
One of SORTA's executive statements says the organization is committed to a work environment that "promotes dignity and respect for all."
Board Chair Jason Dunn said SORTA's commitment to inclusion is a great business decision.
"It shows that we value our employees," Dunn said. "It shows that not only is Metro on the cutting edge of transportation but also making sure we are open to talent and we are open to retaining great talent in our system."
Same-sex partners with a valid marriage license, same-sex partners registered by a government entity and same-sex partners with a sworn affidavit will be recognized by Metro for domestic partner benefits, which will take effect January 1, 2015.
Picture yourself hopping on a streetcar in Price Hill or Westwood and cruising downtown for lunch.
It probably won't happen anytime soon. But a group of West Side residents was determined to put just that image in the heads of city council's transportation committee as it met yesterday to consider what will be done with the city's aging Western Hills Viaduct.
About 25 people showed up to the meeting to advocate for expanded transit options as planning for the bridge goes forward.
"It's about the future of our city and connecting one another," said
John Eby, a resident of Westwood, during Wednesday's meeting. "Think of
this as the economic development tool that will help connect Price Hill
and Westwood to downtown."
Even without the added transit considerations, the project is daunting. The half-mile long bridge is 82 years old and was last rehabbed in 1977. So it's getting a little crumbly.
Though it's structurally sound for now, engineers say it will need to be completely rehabbed or replaced in the next 10 years. A study released last week found the bridge's condition to be among of the worst in the state.
The viaduct is owned by Hamilton County, which pays Cincinnati to do upkeep.
City engineers are leaning toward replacement, though that's going to be expensive. Estimated costs come in around $240 million for a new bridge, which would have two decks and be placed just south of the current one. So far, the city's dedicated less than $6 million for the project.
But this moment, as the city mulls what to do about the bridge, is the perfect time to look at new transit options, advocates say.
Adding dedicated lanes for light rail would cost $24 million a lane, engineers estimate. But designing the bridge with extra structural integrity for streetcar rails, which don't require extra lanes, could be a cheaper option, said city engineer Richard Szekeresh.
It wouldn't be the first time a streetcar has made the trip over the Mill Creek and train yards spanned by the viaduct. In the 1950s, streetcars ran along the bridge's lower deck.
But don't start making plans to get out of downtown and hit up your favorite Westside chili parlor for lunch just yet. City officials say they're in the opening stages of the project. Engineers hope to have designs drawn up by the end of the year, but it will be six to eight years before construction starts, according to city transportation manager Michael Moore. Before that is the long road to secure state funding and make sure the necessary local funds are in place.
Advocates say the project may be the last chance to leave the door open for future transit options like light rail or the streetcar. A new Eighth Street viaduct was just completed, and crews are wrapping up work on the Sixth Street bridge as well. Neither will carry rail into the West Side, which is home to about 20 percent of the city.
The city's cost of a long-planned piece of cycling infrastructure could more than double if City Council approves a motion Vice Mayor David Mann planned to introduce on April 23.
Mayor John Cranley successfully paused the Central Parkway Bikeway Project for public discourse in response to a handful of business owners and residents taking exception to it, and a spokesman for Mann shared his suggested compromise with CityBeat today.
In response to an April 21 special Neighborhoods Committee meeting, Mann seeks to alter the bike route to appease people who don't want to see parking spaces removed, but the updated plan will cost an additional $110,00 on top of the $82,600 the city would pay under the original plan, which would create the beginning of a cycling corridor running from Elm Street downtown to Ludlow Avenue in Clifton. The project was supposed to break ground next month and could lose $330,400 in federal money if the contract isn't awarded by May 1.
"We routinely spend hundreds of thousands of dollars as a city to create new jobs in our community," Mann said in a statement. "We should not approve a new project that places 60 newly created jobs in jeopardy when such a sensible accommodation is available."
The planned bikeway is an innovative piece of cycling infrastructure meant to better protect cyclists along a critical thoroughfare that would connect a number of inner-city neighborhoods and business districts. The lane will be protected, meaning cyclists will have their own lane with a buffer separating them from traffic; in some areas plastic bollards will separate the bike and automobile lanes. The street will not be widened, so traffic lanes will be impacted through restriping, and parking will be restricted during peak traffic hours in the morning and evening.
Opponents of the project are concerned about losing public, on-street parking for parts of the day as well as potentially encountering traffic issues from shaving lanes from Brighton Place to Liberty Street. They also worry the bollards will become a blight issue and emergency vehicles will be impeded during one-lane hours.
Mann's motion supports an alternative plan for a section running from Ravine Street to Brighton Place that would preserve 23 parking spaces full-time, alter 4,300 square feet of greenspace and remove 15 trees at an estimated cost of $110,000. The parking spaces would benefit a building owner and his tenants at 2145 Central Parkway.
City Councilman Chris Seelbach and others demonstrated frustration with the administration's interest in stepping in at the 11th hour.
"I think we have reached a new era in Cincinnati: two steps forward, pause, lots of long meetings, two steps forward, and I'm convinced after the pause and lots of long meetings, we will continue to go two steps forward today," Seelbach said at the April 21 meeting.
Mayor Cranley requested City Manager Scott Stiles delay awarding a contract after meeting with local business owner Tim Haines, who purchased a vacant building located at 2145 Central Parkway in 2012 for $230,000. His building now houses 65 employees from 12 different businesses including his own, Relocation Strategies. Haines has become a mouthpiece for the opposition to the bikeway — though he adamantly states he is not against the lane; he is just against the project's current incarnation as it affects Central Parkway near his business, which utilizes 500 feet of on-street, unmetered parking, which translates to 30 parking spaces.
"If parking wasn't an issue, I would open up my arms and welcome the bike path," Haines says. "Parking for my 65 tenants is in jeopardy. As a business owner I have to fight for my tenants. … Could they park and walk a quarter of a mile? They could, but that's not what they signed up for when they moved in."
Haines has a 16-space parking lot adjacent to his building that some of his tenants use and also owns a parking lot across the street that is in disrepair. Haines says he already cleared it of underbrush to cut down criminal activity and disposed of dozens of tires and beer bottles. He says it would cost up to $300,000 to upgrade the lot.
During the April 21 presentation, Department of Transportation and Engineering (DOTE) Director Michael Moore presented the committee with an alternative recently developed with Cranley's office that he said would appease Haines and his tenants but would cost more money. Moore pushed the notion that the alternative creates a more balanced bikeway plan.
The original plan, passed by council last year, restricts parking in front of Haines' building from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Moore's alternative, which Mann is on board with, is to ramp the bike lane over the curb adjacent to a sidewalk where there is currently a tree-lined area in front of Haines' building and another business in order to preserve public parking full-time.
At the meeting, council member Young took exception to the suggestion of changing the project at this point.
"For the life of me, I don't see where the reasonableness and the balance is with people who come so far after the fact that want us to make these changes and the dollar amount it's going to cost the taxpayers to get it done," Young said. "I am appalled that people can come after the fact and tie up all these people down here to simply want accommodations for them."
Mann shared another perspective.
"There's a gentleman who has brought 60 jobs to the city, including some folks who have Parkinson's and use the building, and the proposal that's being made seems to me to represent balance," Mann said. "We spend millions of dollars, typically, to support development, to support jobs, and you're saying that the proposal that was originally approved by this council without a hearing like this is so pristine that it cant be adjusted in any way, and if it's adjusted that is a statement of imbalance? I just don't follow that."
For the past year and a half, DOTE conducted surveys, sought public input and developed plans for the bikeway. After a strong consensus, the department chose the protected bikeway plan. The bikeway is estimated to add just three seconds of motorist commute time by 2030, though some naysayers suggest that delivery trucks will clog the lanes and the turn left from Ravine Street will create an even longer lag.
Community outreach for the design began in March of last year with eight community council meetings. Letters were mailed to residents, businesses and property owners, but Haines and several other business owners stated they didn't receive any and weren't aware of the project until late last year.
A website designed for public feedback also garnered about 600 messages mainly supporting the bikeway project. DOTE held an open house last September and the Over-The-Rhine and Northside community councils, Findlay Market and Northside Business Association endorsed the project.
Simpson expressed frustration with halting progress for a last-minute meeting.
"I don't think that's an appropriate process," she said. "Really, technically you can go over everything over the past two years. The reality is we need to look forward. If we want to be less auto-focused and more focused on other types of transit, we're going to have to ruffle a couple of feathers."
Supporters — some who biked to the April
21 meeting and utilized a bike valet setup in front of City Hall —
represented various groups of the community from health and community
councils to business owners and cyclists. Their number doubled opponents
— mainly business owners along Central Parkway in the West End and the
West End Community Council, though some West End residents and business
owners supported the original bikeway plan.
The group gave Ohio a "D-" ranking after its government spending transparency website earned 51 points out of 100 in U.S. Public Interest Research Group's fifth annual "Following the Money" report.
"Ohio's been kind of sinking through the ratings year by year," says Phineas Baxendall, a U.S. PIRG senior policy analyst and co-author of the report released on Tuesday. "It used to do much better, which doesn't mean they're dismantling their transparency systems. It just means our standards get tougher each year and they're more staying in place while other states are improving."
Ohio's the only state in the nation that doesn't offer certain customizable search options including bid award recipients, keywords, agency and bulk download searches. Ohio's poor score follows three years of ranking in the bottom half of the study.
Researchers look for transparency websites to be comprehensive, one-stop and offer simple search formats.
The nation as a whole is moving toward a more transparent approach to documenting government spending. Since PIRG began the study, all six categories it uses to compile rankings have shown an increase in states performing specific duties. The largest leaps in the past five years involve showing how a project benefits from taxpayer subsidies, which has seen an increase from two to 33 states, and how tax money is spent with an increase from eight to 44 states. All states now have ledger listings for transactions of any government spending on a website, compared to only 32 five years ago.
Ohio's score doesn't reflect Cincinnati's efforts to be transparent. In a 2013 study in transparency of the 30 largest cities in America, Cincinnati scored a "B+" for providing ledger listings for spending information, allowing Cincinnatians to view where money is spent, specific recipients of tax subsidies and the existence of a service request center allowing residents to notify officials about quality of life issues.
Suggestions for improvement included making checkbook-level spending information searchable by the vendor who received the money and developing a comprehensive transparency website.
"We feel strongly that this isn't a partisan issue, and the fact that states that do best in our rankings show no political pattern, with Texas and Massachusetts standing side-by-side, sort of speaks that this is one of those issues that should not be politicized," Baxendall says. "We look forward to advancement in transparency in Ohio regardless of who is in office."
Part of the nonprofit's mission is to engage community members in the neighborhood's future as a compliment to larger development companies' efforts, which have largely shaped the neighborhood's resurgence in recent years. This effort is specifically targeting those interested in moving to OTR, the Brewery District or Pendleton.
"Lots of people are really interested and excited about the idea of rehabbing one of the buildings to live-in in Over-the-Rhine," says Marilyn Hyland, a board trustee for OTR Foundation. "Then they get into it and find it's really complicated. This is an opportunity for people of both professional and personal perspectives to help people who really want to do this with their families and to have the wisdom of experience as they go forward with it themselves."
The first of the three workshops — which take place at the Art Academy of Cincinnati on Jackson Street — will take place on April 12 and include a lecture from owners who rehabbed their homes, followed by an optional tour of renovated homes.
A second workshop on May 10 delves into selecting and purchasing a building, working with various contractors, hidden costs and navigating planning, zoning and other regulations. A third on June 14 dives into the financial aspect of renovation.
People can register for the workshop series by going to otrfoundation.org. The cost goes up from $35 to $50 starting April 4. Space is limited and will close once 80 people have registered.
"We as a foundation are committed to revitalizing the diverse OTR neighborhood, and a key objective is building community by encouraging and promoting owner-occupied development," Kevin Pape, OTR Foundation president, said in a statement. "These workshops will help individuals gain access to the resources, expertise, and development tools needed to ensure the success of their community investments."
More information is available at otrfoundation.org/3OTR.
Colerain Township Fire Department Captain Steven Conn says officials shut the pipe down shortly after the spill on March 17 and have temporarily repaired the crack. The entire pipe, which runs through the Glen Oak Nature Preserve, will eventually be replaced.
"Eventually they will come back in, stop production and remove that section of piping according to their plan," Conn says.
The cause of the crack remains unclear, and a Department of Transportation investigation will take weeks to test the pipe for any chemicals that could have caused a crack.
Crews cleaned up about 20,000 gallons of oil so far and anticipate cleaning for another five to six days. The preserve will remain closed, along with the nearby Obergiesing Soccer Complex, until a command center for officials working on the leak is relocated. Representatives from Sunoco Logistics, Mid-Valley Piping Company, the Environmental Protection Agency, Colerain Township and Hamilton County Parks will utilize the command center as they respond to the mess.
Twenty-four small animals have been treated after being covered in oil, and a wildlife organization from Delaware came to Cincinnati to help oil-soaked animals.
Officials say there are no reports of oil leaking into the Great Miami River. Conn says the area will be tested and monitored for at least a year after the cleanup is complete.
Enroll America, a nonprofit designed to help citizens who are uninsured wade through the insurance process, stopped by Cincinnati on Monday during a four-city Ohio tour meant to educate citizens on their health insurance options ahead of a March 31 deadline to sign up for coverage.
The Get Covered America campaign visited the Word of Deliverance Ministries for the World and WLWT, where it held a phone drive to help people sign up for health coverage.
"We have been particularly reaching out to young folks," says Trey Daly, Ohio's director for Enroll America.
Those who are uninsured making more than $16,200 a year or families of four making more than $32,913 have until the end of this month to sign up for coverage or face penalties.
One major source of information locally is the Freestore Foodbank on Liberty Street, which received federal grants to help with outreach and the enrollment process. Many people coming through the Foodbank, however, already qualify for Medicaid — individuals earning less than $16,200 and families of four bringing in less than $32,913 — which doesn't have a set deadline to apply.
Next Tuesday, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College will host a free health insurance workshop. Enroll America's website lists other informational events offering details about the process and an online calculator that provides estimates of how much an insurance premium would cost, along with other insurance-finding tools. Local centers are also offering one-on-one help and can be found at enrollamerica.org or healthcare.gov.
On Wednesday, Ryan Luckie, team leader for the Affordable Care Act at the foodbank, worked from Mercy Hospital in Anderson, where he said there was consistent traffic.
"It's now picking up as we approach March 31," Luckie says.
The centers are typically on a first-come first-serve basis, but there is also an option to call ahead to schedule an appointment. Those still seeking health insurance after March 31 will have to wait until Nov. 15 when open enrollment begins, Luckie says. Those people who have experienced what's known as a "life event," either loss of employment, recently married or recently birthed a child, may have their deadline extended, Luckie says.
People seeking help with their insurance should bring proof of income for the last 30 days and social security numbers and date of birth for everyone seeking coverage within a household.
Kasich has proposed to cut income tax 8.5 percent across the board by 2016, which would help drive Ohio's top tax rate below 5 percent. The governor claims single mothers making $30,000 would save an extra few hundred dollars on taxes every year as part of his proposed tax cut, a claim Neuhardt called "despicable and wrong."
During the press conference, Neuhardt said Kasich is using the plight of single mothers to propagate a tax cut that would disproportionately benefit Ohio's upper echelon.
"I want to really emphasize pay equality is always an important issue," Neuhardt said.
doesn't have a plan to square the $11,600 pay disparity between genders in 2012
that she cites, but she did say that her administration would need to reverse
everything Kasich's administration has done in order to get Ohio's economy
moving forward, should she and her running mate, gubernatorial candidate Ed
Fitzgerald, win office in November.
"We need Ohio's working class to have money in their pocket," Neuhardt said.
Kasich's previous budget took the first steps toward pushing the state's top tax rate below 5 percent by lowering income tax across the board and raising sales tax, a combination that disproportionately favors the wealthy. CityBeat covered that plan here and Kasich's early 2013 budget proposals here and here.
Council members P.G. Sittenfield and Yvette Simpson spoke about pay disparity before Neurhardt took the podium on Tuesday.
Simpson stated women on average are earning 27 percent less than men in Ohio and Latin American women are earning 57 percent less.
"In the year 2014, that's unacceptable," Simpson said.
She also stated that Cincinnati has a 50-percent single mother rate and that 53 percent of children are living in poverty.
Sittenfield said the way toward eliminating pay disparity is through "meaningful reforms," not tax cuts.
"Wage equality is not just a women's issue — it's a family issue and it's an Ohio issue," Sittenfield said.
Kasich proposed the cuts as part of a mid-biennium review intended to lay out administrative goals for next year.
Instead, Cincinnati will continue using 100-percent renewable-backed energy from First Energy Solutions.
The city signed on with First Energy in 2012, making Cincinnati the largest metropolitan are in the country to use 100-percent renewable energy.
Stiles was expected to sign the three-year contract with First Energy Solutions today, according to city spokeswoman Meg Olberding.
Sellbach and other council members convinced Stiles to change his mind about the contract, Olberding says.
She also added that First Energy told Stiles it would allow any customer who wants to save the additional $5.63 annual savings of conventional energy to opt-out of the green energy agreement.
The green energy plan is estimated to save customers $43.58 compared Duke's standard service.
About 65,000 households and small businesses will continue using First Energy unless they choose to retain another energy supplier.
Stiles will also institute a green energy fee of $.006 on each electric bill as part of a program he's developing that will help local business owners and residents equip their homes or offices with energy-saving solutions. The program will be run by the Office of Environment and Sustainability.

I've been asked by my Materials Recycling Facility manager to remind everyone that as the weather improves and we get back to gardening, lawn care, and opening pools, that doesn't mean there's a free-for-all when it comes to your recycling bin or cart.
We've been seeing an increase in items that simply don't belong in the recycling bins. Things such as garden hoses, tarps, pool chemicals, and shed equipment. Anything that has the potential to wrap around something should never be placed in the recycling bins. This includes wires, cables, chains, textiles and clothing, and string.
The rule of thumb for plastics is it must be a container and it must hold fewer than two gallons. Another good thing to keep in mind is that when we're talking about containers, we primarily mean containers used to package, transfer or store food.
A garden hose may be a temporary "container" for water as it travels from the pipe to the garden, but it isn't designed to store water. To see why things that wrap are such a problem, watch our YouTube video about the recycling facility at youtube.com/rirrc.
Another item that has seen an alarming increase is needles used for home injections. Needles, sharps, and lancets are not recyclable — period. They must be disposed of properly.
Confusion may occur because the current guidance is to place used needles in a puncture-proof container, like an empty bleach bottle, and tape the cap back on when full. The next step is to place the full, sealed container in your trash. Some people mistakenly think that they should place the plastic container in the recycling bin. This is incorrect, and can lead to injuries at the recycling facility. Remember, only empty plastic containers belong in the recycling bin.
For more information about how to properly manage used needles, please call our Eco-Depot at (401) 942-1430 extension 241.

Hey everyone. I can't wait to share with you guys one of the highlights of my Fall break which was going to a Straight No Chaser concert. Their claim to fame is actually The 12 Days of Christmas which became a YouTube sensation almost instantly and now they're touring the country. So here, take a look at the concert. It was amazing.
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner. Sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in, the city of angels. Lonely as I am, together we cry. I drive on her streets because she's my companion. I walk through her hills and she knows who I am. She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy. Well, I never worry, now that is a lie. I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day. Take me to the place I love. Take me all the way.

.- Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein of Indianapolis suffered a mild stroke on March 18 and has been hospitalized.
Greg A. Otolski, the archdiocese's Executive Director of Communications, reported that the archbishop's condition was unchanged.
"He's still in the hospital. He's still alert, talking to doctors and meeting with people and priests from the archdiocese," he told CNA on March 21.
The archbishop became dizzy while at home and called 911. After undergoing tests at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis, doctors determined that he had suffered a mild stroke.
Archbishop Buechlein said the day-to-day operations and ministries of the archdiocese will continue as normal while he recuperates, the archdiocese newspaper The Criterion reports. He has said he would appreciate everyone's prayers.
The archbishop has suffered a series of health problems over the past three years. In 2008 he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and underwent several weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He is now cancer free.
In 2009 the archbishop had shoulder replacement surgery and in 2010 he had surgery to remove a benign tumor from his stomach.
Indianapolis Auxiliary Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, who was ordained on March 2, had already begun taking over some of the archbishop's duties, such as confirmations, Otolski told CNA. There have been no changes in Coyne's responsibilities as a result of the archbishop's stroke.

Should The West Intervene In Syria?
By editor
Originally published on Sat June 2, 2012 4:05 pm
With violence escalating and journalists barred from the country, it's becoming harder to know how far and fast Syria is slipping into chaos. Host Guy Raz speaks with Paul Wood, world affairs correspondent for the BBC and one of few western journalists to have visited in the country in recent weeks. Then Raz speaks with Marwa Daoudy, visiting professor at Princeton from Oxford University, and Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Doha Center, about the stakes of Western intervention to halt the violence.

Jonny Wilson, the audio/visual mastermind behind the video-centric remixes over at Eclectic Method just put out this gem of a mash-up on his YouTube yesterday, and let me tell you, dear readers … its friggen bad-ass. The shrieks and shrills spliced with brutal bloody carnage and destruction set to a meaty monster beat make me want to run around and break things.

Hello Everyone,
I'm part of a new A/C company located in Texas and we're looking for the best home warranty company to work for. In the summer, we used Craigslist for leads. After a month, we found out that our posts were taken off as soon as we posted.
Can anyone give any suggestions for the best home warranty companies ? (So far, we haven't really had a great experience working with two of them. They want us to fix everything within the time period of the service call. )
Is Angie's List a good place to get leads?

We know more today about the Fort Bliss soldier who died after crashing his motorcycle.
The accident happened Thursday night at 1600 N. Copia. Police found that the driver who has not yet been identified, was driving a 2008 black Harley Davidson before 7 in the evening. He lost control of the motorcycle and ran over the right curb, striking the cement bridge abutment. He was thrown from the motorcycle and died at the scene.
The driver of a yellow mustang says the soldier was trying to get him to race when he past and lost control. Witnesses said they heard revving before the accident.
Some of his fellow soldiers at the scene said he had been stationed at Fort Bliss since 2008.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Illegal armed groups are trying to influence the October local elections
in nearly 200 Colombian municipalities, the country's ombudsman said
According to various media reports, Ombudsman Volmar Perez revealed that
the most threatened regions are the southwestern departments and the
Atlantic Coast. He explained that neo-paramilitary groups and drug cartels
are dominating much of the northern coast while the FARC control most of
the southern regions.
Perez noted that the FARC make up a majority of the aggressors,
terrorizing 150 of the 199 municipalities, about 13% of the Colombian
population. He also said that emerging criminal gangs are intimidating 119
municipalities, and the guerrilla group EPL threatens 38 municipalities in
the department of Norte de Santandar.
He also warned about the formation of a new criminal gang known as the
"Rondas Campesinas" that are operating in the southwestern department of
According to Perez, the threats consist of kidnapping, murders and other
forms of armed pressure.
There have already been at least 21 reported murders of political
candidates and leaders in anticipation of the 2010 regional elections,
with 41 other threats reported.

Cartoon Summary:
Bob has made a Dook voodoo doll, which he gleefully proceeds to poke and prod with a needle, before tossing it about. Meanwhile, back at the saloon, Dook doesn't feel very well. He's actually feeling the effects of Bob's devilish ways and has no idea that he is being controlled from afar. Worried that his friend's condition isn't improving, Curtis decides to bring Dook to see Dr. Tumbleweed. The good doctor gets Dook to undergo a battery of tests- a rigorous exercise that leaves Dook frazzled and exhausted. Tumbleweed takes a look at the results of the tests and announces that Dook is under a space voodoo spell. He orders Dook to wear a special anti-voodoo helmet. Each time Dook wears the helmet, he limits the effects of the spell. Dook and Curtis decide to visit Bob and snatch the voodoo doll from him. But when they move in, Bob unleashes a Curtis doll. Before long, the Cowboys have a devilish time trying to subdue each other's dolls- a situation that can only spell trouble.

The busy season picking is upon us! With the usual mix of beans, kale, leeks, broccoli, greens and such, we have had a banner year for currants. We hand pick, so it is time-consuming, but we are pleased with the size and large quantity of berries. The bushes...
