Click here to know more Collecting Unemployment Insurance By Tiffany Provost You likely have the right to collect unemployment benefits from the government if you have lost your job through no fault of your own. These steps will take you through what is required to collect unemployment benefits while you're out of a job. 1. For this kind of insurance, it is important to find out if you qualify. The federal programs make the unemployment benefits possible and there are strict guidelines and laws to follow. You will find that eligibility requirements vary from state to state, so be sure to research the one you are residing in. You'll need to have no other money coming in from when you file and afterwards, and have to have worked a certain number of hours to collect unemployment benefits. You cannot have any previous claims in the last 12 months and the reason for your job loss cannot be your fault. Your own state will have particular eligibility requirements. 2. You will want to understand exactly what creates a disqualified status. Unemployment benefits are not supplied under certain reasons. Some of these reasons are if you quit, got fired, resigned, or left your job. If you work for yourself you may find it a challenge in getting benefits you would normally get if you worked for a corporation. Investigate what defines disqualification instead of just thinking you will be eligible for employment insurance. 3. Learn the ways that the programs work. Benefits can be collected up to a max. of six months (26 weeks) in the majority of states. If there is a lot of unemployment, your state could permit extra weeks. You will receive half of your regular earnings, up to a particular dollar amount. In the majority of states that range is between two hundred dollars and four hundred fifty dollars. Unemployment benefits are taxed and considered as income like regular wages, so you will have to report your earnings on your income tax for the year. 4. File your claim right away. It is beneficial for you to explore the filing process for unemployment directly upon losing your position. Your claim is only considered after a certain waiting period. If you qualify, you will get your first check in about three weeks. Get the claim going as early as you can by visiting the Benefits office. They will ask you to have your social security number, address, telephone number and contact details (names/addresses) of previous employers also. How Not To Get Screwed By Insurance! SAVE MONEY EVERY MONTH for the rest of your life on your insurance premiums! You're paying way too much! Page 1 Presented by Daniel Toriola 5. Make sure you file any reports within the required time. If you want to receive continuous unemployment benefits, then it will be mandatory to file reports on job seeking on a weekly or twice weekly basis. Be on time to avoid losing money. 6. Pick up your check. Your first unemployment check should be received two weeks after filing your claim. Some places you don't have to go through a waiting period of 1-2 weeks, in which time you don't get paid. After this hiatus, you can start claiming your benefits. You can arrange to get a direct bank payment, or you can get your unemployment check mailed to you. Tiffany Provost writes about Insurance and Career tips for http://HowToDoThings.com. Safety Employment Occupational safety, fire protection, insurance loss control. Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola 6 Ways to Survive a Recession By Tom Tosun According to a news release by the Bureau of Labor, the nation's unemployment rate as of June 2009 remains at 9.5%. If you're like me and are in that number too then you're definitely feeling this "recession". But it might not be as bad as it seems. Here are a few things you can do to survive. 1-Collect Unemployment There are so many people out there who've been laid off from work who aren't collecting unemployment. The reason for some could be that for them there is a negative stigma to the idea of unemployment. This is a situation where their pride is hurting them. For others it could be that they don't feel an unemployment check would be enough for them since it is only a fraction of what their salary was. The truth is that unemployment is something that your employer paid into for you when you were working for him/her. That money is yours and should be claimed without fear or reservation. Sure it may only be a fraction of what your salary was but it's still income and believe me it will help. 2-Go Back to School You're probably thinking how you can go back to school if you don't have any money, right? Well there are government grants available for folks collecting unemployment. You can contact your local unemployment office for details. They are more than willing to help folks in your situation. 3-Take A Contract Job Hook up with a recruiter in your industry and have them look for contract positions for you while you're looking for something more permanent. Doing a few contract jobs here and there will definitely bring in a little more than your unemployment check and one might even turn into a permanent position. 4-Change Your Career Ever wanted to start your own business? Perhaps work from home? This might be the perfect opportunity to start a home based business doing something you've always wanted to do or to even try. There are also grants available for people looking to start their own small business. The possibilities here are only limited by your desire and imagination. 5-Volunteer Volunteering for something you believe in is probably the most rewarding experience one could have. Helping others in need and selflessly giving will put you in a positive mood and feed your emotions. You can volunteer for almost anything. From soup kitchens to helping your church to firefighting. And just imagine how that might look on your resume if you do decide to pursue another job. 6-Build Your Personal Relationships Insurance Leads Generation Generate quality new leads at a fraction of the cost of offline marketing. Page 3 Presented by Daniel Toriola This is perhaps the most rewarding thing you can do with your new found time. Take the time to really work on your personal relationships whether it be with your spouse or significant other, your kids, your neighbors, distant family members or whomever. I hope you've found this article helpful and you have some idea of the direction you'll be going in during your time "off" from work. Tom Tosun is an entrepreneur and self-help advocate.

Lighted Switch Flickers
I have a lighted wall switch that has a flicker. Its a standard toggle wall switch, a very ordinary switch.
It has started to flicker. I thought the bulb in the switch was neon and would last almost forever.
Does anyone know what the flicker means? is the switch (light in it) going bad? Or is it an indication of some other issue like a loose connection?
I'm concerned about safety. Our house is 100 years old. Its been rewired, but you just never know what the possibilities are.
It could be the neon bulb inside is dying or you've change the load. The internal light in that thing is designed to be connected to a resistive load like a incandescent lamp. If you've put a CF or something else odd on the switch now, it may be causing the neon to not light consistently.
It's unlikely to be a safety issue either way.
Neon lamps don't last forever. If it's 10-15 years old, it's probably just starting to fail.
An interesting characteristic of neon lamps is that as they degrade, often they'll glow steadily again as long as you're shining a light on them. (Makes them kind of useless, I know. :)
Before replacing the switch you should see what it is controlling.
If CFLs have replaced incandescent in the fixtures switched the neon light cannot get any current to glow.
Hi my name is Jon and about your flickering wall switch it does not mean to much. I grew up in a house that had all lighted wall switches in it and 4 of them throughout my house always flickered 24 hours everyday and they never broke or burned out and there was nothing wrong with the lighted switches and it does not mean anything other than a small glitch in the switch. My friend Marry Beth also lives in a house her whole life to that has lighted switches that flicker to and hers have lasted just fine to. You have nothing to worry about what so ever.

Travelling around Ireland in a car? Walking the Dingle Way? Why not take a day a spend it seeing the beautiful Annascaul/ Inch area by bike. Annascaul lake, Inch beach, Minard castle are all accessible by bike and a great way to see them.
This year we have two Tuscan Hybrid Bikes (Male & Female) for our guests to rent. All safety gear & maps supplies are supplied. Email us for details.
Inch Beach
Inch Beach by night
Inch Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches on the Dingle Peninsula in Co.Kerry and is a really beautifull place to learn to surf. It is a blue flag beach that runs literally for miles. Three miles of sandy beach, for bathing, surfing, sea angling. Inch Strand was chosen by David Lean as the beach location for "Ryan's Daughter". The film "Playboy of the Western World" was shot entirely at Inch.
Inch is roughly 30 minutes from both Dingle and Killarney and 45 mins from Tralee, But more importantly only a 5 minute drive from Annascaul.
Slea Head Drive
We always tell people the best time to drive to Slea head is in the evening. This is so for a few reasons. The traffic is quieter (very little coaches and heavy vehicles. Also the long Irish summer evenings (Its bright up until about 10 most evenings these days). Watching the sun set on Dunquin pier is just magic.


text: Hello! I'm Aimee. I'm 31 years old, and originally from Southern California, though I love to travel and have called many places my home, including a farm in Southern Indiana, a dorm room in small town Wisconsin and Morocco, and the wonderful city of Barcelona, where I spent two years teaching English, volunteering on organic farms, and learning Spanish. Upon returning to the U.S. I met a sweet and hilarious guy who persuaded me to move my life up to Portland, Oregon. Brian and I live in Portland now, where we drink good beer and wine, bike around the rainy city, write often, and cook some very delicious meals. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and he works at the nearby Trader Joes. We are lovers of good books and food, meeting new people, going to live music, talking shit while we beat each other in Scrabble, and traveling far and wide (or for now, talking about it). Some of our greatest airbnb experiences were with the wonderful families who hosted us on our trip to Vietnam two years ago. We are tidy, talkative, and enthusiastic folks in general. We are excited to meet new people in exciting places through air bnb!

In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here.
The first presidential debate took place last night. Most of the
"liberal media" says Mitt Romney beat President Barack Obama, but the
impact of the relatively dull debate is probably being overstated as the
media tries to sensationalize some sort of comeback narrative for Romney. Although
the debates are important for capturing a candidate's policies and
speaking ability, they don't matter much in political terms.
Policy-wise, it seems Romney ran to the center last night. If last night's debate wasn't enough debate for you, here are the three most awkward presidential debate moments in history.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus held
a conference call with Ohio reporters yesterday in response to Vice
President Joe Biden's comments that the middle class has been "buried"
in the past four years. Priebus claimed the
Republican ground game in Ohio will "crush" Democrats. But that's going
to require a lot of work. As it stands, Obama and Democratic Sen.
Sherrod Brown are beating their respective Republican opponents pretty
badly in aggregate polling.
PolitiFact says Republican claims that Issue 2 will create a redistricting commission that will "have a blank check to spend our money" are false. While there is no cap on spending designated in Issue 2, that does not mean the redistricting commission will get infinite funding. If Issue 2 is approved by voters, redistricting will be handled by an independent citizens commission. If Issue 2 is rejected by voters, redistricting will continue being handled by politicians that commonly use the system in politically advantageous ways. A Republican majority redistricted the First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, to also include Warren County. The new boundaries give Republicans an advantage by putting more emphasis on rural voters, which typically vote Republican, instead of urban voters, which typically vote Democrat. CityBeat previously covered the redistricting process and Issue 2 here.
An analysis by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management
found Issue 2 would cost the state about $11-$15.2 million over eight
years. That's about $1.4-$1.9 million a year, or about 0.005-0.007
percent of Ohio's budget for the 2013 fiscal year.
To put the cost of Issue 2 in further context, state tax revenues were $39 million above estimates in September.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced the Ohio
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the
Cincinnati-based Ohio Justice and Policy Center (OJPC) have settled out
of court in a case involving health care in prisons. OJPC brought the
case forward with a lawsuit in 2003, arguing that inmates were not
receiving adequate health care as required by the Ohio Constitution.
Courts agreed in 2005, and they created an oversight committee to ensure
medical standards rose. Today, health care in prisons is much better. With the
settlement, OJPC and ODRC will continue watching over medical policies
and procedures for the next two years, but courts no longer have an
oversight mandate.
City Council unanimously approved six projects for historic tax credits yesterday.
Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank reclaimed its top spot for local bank deposits this year, although data released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shows it might never have lost the top spot to U.S. Bank.U.S. service firms, which employ 90 percent of Americans, grew at their fastest rate in six months. The boost was brought about due to rising consumer demand.
Ever curious about why politicians use similar body language in all their public appearances? The New York Times has an explanation.
A new, strange dinosaur was recently identified.
Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann wants Mayor Mark Mallory to live up to past promises of county-city collaboration. In a letter to Mallory, Hartmann criticized the mayor for failing to stick to his pledge of supporting the City-County Shared Services Committee. The committee seeks to streamline county and city services to end redundancies and make the services more competitive and efficient.
Cincinnati Economic Development's director asked City Council to create a "mega incentive" for "huge impact" development. He also asked City Council to pledge $4 million of casino revenue a year to a local neighborhood project. If City Council agrees, casino revenue will be used to boost local businesses.
Metro is looking at the world's quickest-charging electric bus. It supposedly can charge in 10 minutes and travel 40 miles.
The day before Pennsylvania's voter ID law faced trouble in court, Secretary of Jon Husted suggested a "more strict" voter ID law for Ohio. Husted said the current ID system needs to be streamlined and simplified. Democrats criticized the suggestion for its potential voter suppression.Sept. 22 will be the "Global Frackdown," a day where activists will protest around the world in a push to ban hydraulic fracturing — or fracking. Cincinnati will have its own "Frackdown" at Piatt Park. Activists are generally against fracking because it poses too many risks, which CityBeat covered here. But Gov. John Kasich and other supporters of fracking insist it can be made safe with proper regulations. Some have also suggested that natural gas, which is now plentiful due to the spread of fracking, can be used as part of a bigger plan to stop global warming.
A new survey says Cincinnati companies will continue hiring through the fourth quarter.It wasn't as good as last year, but it was better than the month before. A new state report says 7,341 new businesses filed to do work in Ohio in August, down from 7,423 in August 2011.
A state commission approved $1.5 million for the Cincinnati Art Museum and a $600,000 reimbursement for the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
More than half of Ohioans could be obese by 2030, a new report found. The rise in obesity could push up medical costs by $23.8 billion.
But screw worrying about weight. Taste of Belgium (writer's note: best restaurant in the land) is thinking about expanding.
In other restaurant news, it seems Chick-Fil-A may stop its anti-gay donations. Maybe Kermit and friends will be forgiving.
The full footage for Mitt Romney's controversial comments
at a May 17 fundraiser has become available here. The footage shows why
Romney prefers to be dishonest most of the time. More importantly,
Romney's comments about Obama voters are not accurate. The Onion, a satirical newspaper, has an explanation for why Romney insists on unleashing gaffe after gaffe.
One astrophysicist says there is no such thing as time.
Mitt Romney will visit the Cincinnati area this week: tonight at a private fundraiser at the Hilton Netherland Plaza, Thursday at a Carthage manufacturing comany and this weekend to hang with Rep. John Boehner up north and probably with Sen. Rob Portman at some point. President Obama plans to be around soon, too.
Economists say Romney's job creation claims need more specifics before they'll be believable. On the other hand, Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has saved or created 1.4 million to 3.3 million jobs, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and the American Jobs Act would create 1.9 million, according to Moody's. From NPR:
+11.5 million — that's how many jobs Romney claimed last September he would create in the first term of his administration. But true to form, Romney never said how he would create that many jobs, nor has any reputable economist backed up his claim. "Nowhere in the 160 page plan could I find a stated job creation number," wrote Rebecca Thiess of EPI. "The math doesn't just appear to be fuzzy — it appears to be nonexistent." Added David Madland of the Center for American Progress: "It is a plan from the Republican candidate for president designed to maximize corporate profits. What it doesn't do is help the middle class or create jobs." Even the conservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal called Romney's 59-point economic tome "surprisingly timid and tactical considering our economic predicament."
Democrat Ron Barber won the congressional seat left by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived an assassination attempt and resigned to focus on her recovery. The win gives Democrats hope for taking control of the House in November.
California could become the first U.S. State to require that genetically modified (GM) foods be labeled as such on the package if a November measure, "The Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," passes.
What makes the referendum in California different is that, for the first time, voters and not politicians will be the ones to decide. And this has the food industry worried. Understandably so, since only one in four Americans is convinced that GMOs are "basically safe", according to a survey conducted by the Mellman Group, and a big majority wants food containing GMOs to be labeled.
This is one of the few issues in America today that enjoys broad bipartisan support: 89% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats want genetically altered foods to be labeled, as they already are in 40 nations in Europe, in Brazil, and even in China. In 2007, then candidate Obama latched onto this popular issue saying that he would push for labeling – a promise the president has yet to keep.
Retail sales were down for the second month in May. Go buy something.
More than 2,000 proposals for new internet suffixes have been proposed, including ".pizza," ".space" and ".auto."
Scientists have figured out why woolly mammoths went extinct: "Lots of reasons."
The City of Cincinnati's unemployment rate moved down a notch between September and October, from 6.9 percent to 6.8 percent, according to data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County followed suit; Greater Cincinnati dropped from 6.4 to 6.3 percent, and the county dropped from 6.4 to 6.2 percent.
The numbers, which were unadjusted for seasonal factors, seemed positive overall. Unlike last month, the unemployment rate did not move down due to people leaving the civilian labor force, which measures the amount of people looking for work in addition to the amount of people who have jobs. Instead, labor forces in Cincinnati, Hamilton County and Greater Cincinnati all grew.
The city is now better across the board than it was in October 2011. The civilian labor force and amount of employed are larger, and the amount of unemployed is lower. The city's current 6.8 percent unemployment rate is also a vast improvement from the 9.1 percent unemployment rate in October 2011.
Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County made similar improvements in all numbers. Back in October 2011, Greater Cincinnati was at 8.1 percent unemployment, and Hamilton County was at 8.3 percent.
However, Cincinnati remains below the state's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate of 6.3 percent. It does beat the nation's seasonally unadjusted 7.5 percent rate, however.
Part of the recovery is likely fueled by improvements in the housing market. Cincinnati's housing numbers from October showed a 16.5 percent year-over-year improvement, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors.
Unemployment numbers are calculated through a household survey. The unemployment rate gauges the amount of unemployed people looking for work in contrast to the total civilian labor force. Since the numbers are derived from surveys, they are often revised in later months. State and federal numbers are typically adjusted to fit seasonal employment patterns to give a more consistent rate, while local numbers are not.
Conservative groups are pushing Ohio to purge its voter rolls. The move is largely seen by Democrats as an attempt to disenfranchise and suppress voters. The groups in support of the purge, which include Judicial Watch and True the Vote, typically cite voter-related errors and voter fraud as the main reason for their efforts, but there have been 10 cases of in-person voter fraud since 2000, according to a News21 study. Florida Gov. Rick Scott also pushed for a voter purge in his state, but Democrats vowed to fight the purge at every step.The Historic Conservation Board ruled in favor of the Anna Louise Inn yesterday. The ruling means the inn can now move ahead with its multi-million renovation project. The board's ruling was despite Western & Southern, which has tried to block the renovation as part of a broader attempt to shut down the inn and buy up the property. CityBeat extensively covered W&S's attempts here.
Cincinnati is No. 7 in the country for job growth, a study from Arizona State University found. Cincinnati beat out Riverside, Calif., but it lost to San Francisco, Denver, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle and San Diego.Secretary of State Jon Husted was advised to fire the Democrats on the Montgomery Board of Elections by Jon Allison, who overheard the hearing on the firings on Aug. 20. Allison is also the former chief of staff to Republican Gov. Bob Taft. The Democrats on the board attempted to expand in-person early voting to weekends despite Husted's call to uniform voting hours that include no weekend voting. Ohio Democratic Party Chris Redfern said the recommendation was "no surprise" and the Republican Party should be expected to support voter suppression by now.
Josh Mandel, excessive liar, Ohio treasurer and senatorial candidate for Ohio, described Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio as "un-American" for his vote supporting the auto bailout, which helped protect 850,000 jobs in Ohio's auto industry. But Mandel still refuses to give specifics on what he would have done differently to protect the auto industry.The federal government has given the go-ahead for fracking in Wayne National Forest in Ohio. The go-ahead will open up more than 3,300 acres for auction. Environmental critics say fracking is unsafe and should be banned, but Gov. John Kasich insists the process can be made safe with proper regulations. Previous analyses have found natural gas, which is produced from fracking, could help combat climate change. CityBeat previously covered the uncertainty behind fracking here.
Kentucky is getting another creationist attraction. Apparently not content with the false claims asserted at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, a new group wants to build a brick-and-mortar for the Founders of Creation Science Hall of Fame.Republicans almost went a day without saying something offensive about women. Tom Smith, Republican candidate for Pennsylvania's senate seat, compared pregnancy from rape to pregnancy out of wedlock. Last week, Paul Ryan, Republican vice presidential candidate, described rape as a "method of conception."
Most people might not remember it since it's rarely mentioned in the news anymore, but America is still at war in Afghanistan. Yesterday, the Taliban beheaded 17 civilians for having a party, two U.S. soldiers were killed by an Afghan soldier and 10 Afghan soldiers died to insurgents.A private funeral service is planned in Cincinnati for Neil Armstrong, who died last Saturday. A public funeral will be held at Wapakoneta. Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. His first steps inspired curiosity and innovation around the world when he said, "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Politicians will talk up Armstrong's accomplishment in the following days, but Democrats and Republicans both supported cuts to NASA's budget in recent years that Armstrong opposed.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney announced his running mate Saturday: U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan. Ryan is currently the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Budget Committee. He is known by many Republicans as an "intellectual" in the party. He is known by everyone else as the guy who tried to dismantle Medicare. Ryan is also a Miami University graduate, and he was once a staffer for now-Gov. John Kasich when Kasich was still a congressman.
State Rep. Connie Pillich, a Democratic House member for suburban Cincinnati, is facing a tough campaign for re-election against Republican Mike Wilson. One of the reasons the campaign is more difficult for Pillich this time is the redistricting process was used to redraw her district to favor Republicans.
Hamilton County is going to be holding eight budget forums. The forums give the public an opportunity to discuss what they think should be prioritized and slashed in the next Hamilton County budget.A new report found the 2020 Cincinnati jobs market will be dominated by health care and computer jobs as the city continues its strong growth. The report also found a surprising amount of top jobs will only require a high school diploma or an equivalent to a high school diploma.
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) is continuing its dishonest campaign to block the Blue Ash Airport deal, but Cincinnati and Blue Ash lawmakers don't seem too worried. At least COAST admits it's largely interested in blocking the streetcar "boondoggle," not just the legitimacy or details of Blue Ash rescinding the original deal. CityBeat previously covered the Blue Ash Airport issue here.

The city of Cincinnati and its largest city employees union have reached a deal regarding the privatization of the city's parking assets. Under the deal's terms, the city will give raises and not lay off anyone for three years, but only if the city's parking assets are privatized. However, the head of a Clifton community group is still not happy with the privatization plan. He says the plan is bad for business because it limits the amount of affordable parking in the area. But would laying off 344 city employees be better for business?

A proposal mandating drug testing for welfare recipients in Ohio resurfaced last week. Republican legislators claim the requirement will save the state money, but a similar proposal in Florida added to budget woes as the state was forced to pay for drug tests.
Ohio's ultra-wealthy population is growing. About 1,330 Ohioans are worth $30 million or more, an increase of 2 percent since 2011, according to a report from Wealth-X. The news could shape Gov. John Kasich's plan to cut the income tax using revenue from a higher oil-and-gas severance tax, perhaps encouraging state officials to make the cut more progressive.
Gov. Kasich is ending the practice of giving so many tax credits to keep businesses in Ohio. The move could potentially cost the state jobs as businesses move to other areas with bigger, better incentives, but state officials and the business community don't seem too worried for now.
If the Ohio government agencies were forced to cut their budgets by 10 percent, the results would not be pretty. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction would have to close prisons, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would have a tougher time enforcing new regulations on fracking.
Ohio's exotic animal law is facing a challenge in federal court today. Exotic animal owners claim the law violates their First Amendment and property rights by forcing them to join private associations and give up their animals without compensation. They also do not like the provision that requires microchips be implanted into the animals. The Humane Society of the United States is defending the law, which was passed after a man released 56 exotic animals and killed himself in 2011.

The nation's unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent in September — the lowest jobless rate in nearly four years. The country added 114,000 jobs during the month, and labor participation actually rose with 418,000 people joining the labor force. Jobs numbers for July and August were also revised upward, indicating that the summer's economy was not as weak as previously estimated. Unlike previous reports that were mired with dropping labor participation rates and job additions below expectations, this report paints a generally rosy picture of a recovering economy.
A new report found Ohio-based Murray Energy might be coercing employees into making campaign contributions to Republicans. It seems Bob Murray, Murray Energy's CEO, directly encourages employees to make donations through memos and strong language. As a result, the company has an unusually high amount of donations to Republican candidates, including senatorial candidate Josh Mandel, presidential candidate Mitt Romney and House Speaker John Boehner. The company's PAC and staffers are the sixth biggest source of funding for Mandel.By their own admission, Republicans misrepresented Issue 2. The good news is they have agreed to stop using some of the misleading language. If Issue 2 is approved by voters, it will give redistricting powers to an independent citizens commission. Currently, elected officials redraw the district boundaries, and they use the system in politically advantageous ways. The Republican majority redrew the First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati to include Warren County, which places less emphasis on urban voters that typically vote Democrat and more emphasis on rural voters that typically vote Republican. CityBeat previously covered redistricting and Voters First's reform here.
The state auditor gave a mixed review to Ohio's schools and education department yesterday. In an interim report, the auditor criticized a handful of school districts for scrubbing attendance reports and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) for having poor oversight. ODE promised "additional safeguards" in response to the report.Gov. John Kasich is continuing his privatization campaign. The governor is finally close to leasing the Ohio Turnpike, and he says that could raise more than $1 billion.
It turns out Kasich's number about Ohio's auto industry losing 500 jobs might be correct, but only because of the time frame and terms Kasich used. In general, the auto industry in Ohio has improved since 2009.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is leading the charge, but it's only the beginning. A few movies are taking advantage of the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, which is meant to bring film production to Ohio. Seven films will be filmed in Ohio: Underdogs, Crooked Tree, Blood of Redemption, The Tribunal, A Dog Named Suki, In Other Words and The Do Over. Since the tax credit began, the Ohio Film Office has helped employ more than 19,000 Ohioans and added nearly $205 million to Ohio's economy.

JobsOhio chief Mark Kvamme is stepping down. The high-profile venture capitalist, who was originally from California, was originally recruited by Gov. John Kasich to lead the Ohio Department of Development. But soon Kvamme hopped onto JobsOhio, a nonprofit company established by Kasich and the state legislature to bring investment into Ohio. Under Kvamme's leadership, JobsOhio, which is supposed to replace the Department of Development, has brought in 400 companies to invest in Ohio, leading to $6.1 billion in capital investment, according to a press release. But the nonprofit company has been heavily criticized by liberal groups like Progress Ohio, which say JobsOhio is unconstitutional. Lower courts have generally legitimized Progress Ohio's claims, but the Ohio Supreme Court recently turned down a case dealing with JobsOhio. The court said a lower court would have to give a declaratory judgment first.
William O'Neill, former judge and Democratic candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court, is asking Republican justices Robert Cupp and Terrence O'Donnell to "recuse or refuse." O'Neill says the Republican justices are sitting on cases that involve FirstEnergy, an Akron-based energy company that has contributed to the re-election campaigns of Cupp and O'Donnell. O'Neill says the conflict of interest diminishes faith in the highest court of Ohio's justice system.

The regulations require physicians to administer the drug in a clinic or physician's office, and the drug may only be taken within 49 days of gestation.

Mayor John Cranley plans to address the city's long-term unemployment problems with a set of new initiatives, some of which could get support from the White House, he told CityBeat Thursday.
One of the initiatives is in direct response to President Barack Obama's call, heard by millions during the State of the Union Tuesday, to get private companies on board with ending discrimination against the long-term unemployed.
Specifically, Cranley says he helped get Procter & Gamble and other local companies to agree to join the president's initiative.
"It wasn't that hard to sell them on it, but they've got a lot of things going on," Cranley says. "Getting their attention and focus on these things is one of the great powers that I have. I can help ask people to give back in ways they just haven't thought of before."
With a visit to the White House planned for Friday, Cranley hopes his quick response to Obama's call could help the city land future federal grants for programs that address long-term unemployment.
As an example, Cranley points to a new White House initiative that asks cities to develop innovative pilot programs that help the long-term unemployed. The initiative will award federal grants, which Cranley estimates at a couple million dollars per city, to the 10 best proposals.
In preparation, the city is partnering with several local organizations, including the Workforce Investment Board and United Way of Greater Cincinnati, to develop a unique plan. How the city's proposal looks ultimately depends on the constraints set by the application requirements, but Cranley cited more educational opportunities and subsidies for companies that hire the long-term unemployed as two examples cities might undertake.
The proposal, however it looks, would come in addition to Cranley's Hand Up Initiative, which he plans to fund through this year's city budget. As part of the initiative, the city will first partner with Cincinnati Cooks, Cincinnati Works and Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention (SOAR) to provide more job training opportunities. Participants who graduate from those programs can then apply to the Transitional Jobs Program, which provides short-term, part-time work opportunities to people as they look for long-term, full-time jobs.
The initiative will begin as a pilot program for the first two years, but it could eventually expand with more partnerships and job training opportunities, according to Cranley.
If successfully carried out, Cranley's proposals could help break the long-term unemployment trends that keep so many Americans jobless in the first place.
In one study, Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University sent out 4,800 fake resumes for 600 job openings. Ghayad found people who had been out of work for six months or more very rarely got called back, even in comparison to applicants without work experience who were unemployed for shorter periods of time.
In other words, diminishing the discrimination on the employer's side or ongoing joblessness on the potential employee's side could be enough to land more people in jobs.
A proper solution to the issue could also go a long way to picking up the nation's sluggish job market. By the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' estimate, nearly 38 percent of the unemployed in December had been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer — the highest rate in six decades. In comparison, the rate was below 20 percent prior to the recession.
For Cranley, the initiatives also present an opportunity to address Cincinnati's abhorrent poverty rates by giving people a chance to obtain better-paying jobs.
"In the end, we want a city that isn't just good for future residents," Cranley says, referencing the economic momentum in Over-the-Rhine, downtown and uptown that might benefit future Cincinnatians. "We need a city solution that grows the capacity and builds the opportunities for residents who are already here and families that are already dealing with poverty."

This is a small park, but it can handle big rigs. We are 62' long including our car hauler trailer, and we fit perfectly in site #5 with 2 feet to spare. They do have 50 amp service, and free Wi-Fi that is blazing fast. I am writing this review using that Wi-Fi. There was no wind today. There are nice restrooms, but no showers, and no laundry, which is fine; we have our own. This is a first come, first served park--no reservations. There appear to be several permanent rigs here, but all are in nice condition. There is also a dry camping area with long pull throughs for $9/night. A nice overnight spot, especially when the wind is not blowing. Walking distance to town, and nice sandy beach where swimming is allowed. We camped at Port of Arlington Marina RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2009 - $19.00
Because of the design and width of the pull through spaces, I would say that this place is NOT big rig friendly. I can't put out one side of my slides because the site is too narrow. Since this place is next to the river, the wind is a constant 35+ mph and it's dusty! Better off finding a rest stop or a WalMart . Way over priced for what you get. We camped at Port of Arlington Marina RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2009 - $19.00
Just way too windy here because it's right on the river. Rocks the RV like crazy. Sites are surrounded by landscaping rocks that are about 2 feet high and very narrow making it hard to even step out your door in a 40' RV. I'd rather boon dock somewhere else. Not really big rig friendly IMO. We camped at Port of Arlington Marina RV Park in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: July, 2005 - $19.00
Nice spot for an overnighter. It's right off of the freeway and near a train track, so it can be noisy. But it's a nice clean, well maintained RV Park with full hook-ups. Self-pay honor system. Next to the Columbia, and overlooking a Marina. Adjacent to Earl Snell Park, which is a beautiful park with a swimming beach. Walking distance to small grocery store. Would definitely stay there again. We camped at Port of Arlington Marina RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

Sunderland AFC Uses Network Box
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Sunderland AFC is a UK premiership football club. The club has over 120 full-time employees at three different sites in the UK. Network security is a top level priority for the club, and a need to defend against the vast amounts of spam and malware it was seeing was an issue when the club upgraded its security system. Without Network Box's defences in place Sunderland AFC's network wouldn't have coped with some spam attacks.

Google Glass, the new eyewear that will bring the Internet to users with a blink of the eye - quite literally, is highly anticipated. Google Glass also comes with a new set of restrictions. Many businesses say they won't allow customers wearing the fancy new spectacles inside.

Published in Technology
Keywords: Google Glass, technoogy, Internet, problems
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - People wearing Google Glass eyewear may very well be banned from strip clubs, cinemas and casinos as their owners don't want them filming there. Due to privacy concerns, they will ask anyone wearing the glasses to remove them or they won't be let in.
Lap dance clubs said that they would treat Google Glass wearers the same as anyone caught filming a stripper - and would kick them out.
Touted as the future of computing and the next revolution in technology, Google Glass has been barred from many establishments before it even goes on sale.
There is still mystery surrounding the device, which looks like an ordinary pair of eyeglasses that is hooked up to the information Internet super highway. Martin Missfeldt, a German designer has taken it upon himself to create an info-graphic showing exactly how Google manages to project an image into a user's view.
"Depending on how you wear the Google Glass, the layer appears in the upper right corner or in the middle of the visual field," Missfeldt says.
"When the Google Glass is high on the nose, so that you can practically see through underneath, you must turn the eye up to view the image sharp.
"Because the prism is semi-transparent you can also place it directly in front of the pupil. In that case, you have the sharp layer directly in front of the eyes."
Hailing "Google Glass is a technical masterpiece," he adds that the device "combines numerous functions and features in a very small unit. In addition to phone and camera (photo, video), it offers Internet connection, including GPS."
The device will go on sale later this year, but it will only be limited to developers and selected members of the public. It is expected to cost under $650 when it becomes widely available.
"Google Glass contains a mini-projector, which projected the layer via a clever, semi-transparent prism directly on the retina in the eye. Because of this the image, even though it is so close to the eye, is sharp and clear. You can move the front part of the Google Glass easily to optimize the focus."
Even then - Missfeldt warns that those wearing prescription eyeglasses may struggle.
"The biggest challenge for Google will now be to make the Google Glass also usable for people with normal glasses (to compensate for a low vision).
"In this case the Google Glass has to be placed ahead of normal glasses - which doesn't look and feel well or like a glass."

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

HireCentrix News Updates
Hundreds of Pfizer (PFE)'s pharmaceutical sales reps signed on to a class action lawsuit demanding overtime pay in part because they were laid off following the company's acquisition of Wyeth. Plaintiffs in the suit asked a New York federal judge last week to certify the suit as a class action in three states: New York, California and Illinois.
The case is significant because Pfizer is the biggest drug company in the U.S. and thus the litigation affects more reps than any other.
The suit has been trundling along quietly since it was filed in 2006 by lead plaintiff Anthony Coultrip, who worked for Pfizer in Missouri between 2003 and 2005. In 2008, a judge denied Pfizer's motion to dismiss the case. Then in March of this year, the Supreme Court refused to hear a different case leaving in place rulings that required drug companies to pay overtime to sales reps who work more than 40 hours a week, except in a small number of jurisdictions. That ruling may pave the way for the Pfizer plaintiffs. In the first few months of this year, hundreds of reps signed on to the case, the court docket shows.

Can I bring potted Dahlia into the house over winter?
It is soo pretty, I don't wait it to die. It is in a pot, can I bring it indoors for the winter to save it. I read on Google the process to save tubers, its too much work. Would the plant survive indoors?
You can bring it in, but I don't think you should expect it to flourish and bloom indoors - dry air and short days. But after a frost kills the top, let it sit for a day or two to allow the moisture to drain into the tubers. Then cut off the dead stuff, but leave a bit of stem attached. You can bring the entire pot indoors, in a cool, dark area, and only water occasionally during winter to keep it from becoming bone dry. But best to just unpot it and shake off the soil and let it dry. Then put it in a paper bag in a cool, dark place. The idea is to keep it dormant until it can go outdoors next spring. I check mine about once a month in winter, and if they seem too dry, I soak them in a pail of water for a few minutes and then let them dry again. Usually only have to do this ONCE in winter. Don't want them to rot or sprout. My grandfather raised hundreds of dahlias for local florists and he stored many, many tubers in baskets in his unheated shed, for years. He dug them out of the ground of course, and lay them out in the sun for a few days to dry out. In spring he sometimes divided, but there MUST be a part of the old stem on each division, or it won't sprout. Good luck!
Bill, interesting method. I've done the digging, and storing in peat moss in plastic bags, which I've then layered in a big cardboard box, with newspaper between the layers. Some years I have great success, some years I don't.
Last year, I tried a slight variation on that method, recommended by a friend. Instead of peat moss, I put leaves in the bag, moistened slightly, then put them in the box. Again, good results, but I was worried about how "moist" to make the leaves.
Your method sounds the easiest so far! Just stick them in a bag and put them in the basement! Although, I can easily see myself forgetting about them and not checking if they dry out or not, lol. What's the humidity level like where you store them, and/or do you find it makes a difference?
Dee, it's not a damp basement at all, but I have never checked the humidity level with any instrument. I'd say it's average I suppose. I do the same with cannas. I check about once a month but have found it only necessary to dampen them once during winter.
Thanks BIll. I think I'll give your method a try.
Although honestly, I was just thinking yesterday as I walked past some dahlias in my garden that I may not bother with them. Here it is the second week of September and they are just starting to bud up. I've never paid much attention (usually just selecting my dahlias by oohing and ahhing over a catalog) but perhaps I need to pay more attention to bloom times, if they do indeed vary with different dahlias.
Even my old reliable Park Princess has not yet bloomed.
By the way, daffodil33, dahlias are quite easy to start from seed, so you can get them inexpensively that was as well. Probably not as much selection, but I've had some seed-grown ones that were real beauties!
I have a Dahlia in a pot that I bring in and put in a cold sheltered spot, either the porch, the attic of the ell, or the cold cellar, all of which are unheated but don't get as cold as outside. The hardest part for me is that they start sprouting before it's warm enough for them to be outside full time.
I do what nhbabs does for a few dahlias in pots. Bring the whole pot in cool basement after the frost gets the foliage. Cut the foliage back, keep in dark, cool basement. I don't water at all. In late spring lightly water and when growth starts, water more frequently.
I also store other dahilas using the saran wrap method with light sulpher dusting. 90-95% produce 'eyes' that grow into plants.
