The Vancouver Whitecaps were the seventeenth team incorporated into Major
League Soccer (MLS) in 2009. Vancouver Whitecaps tickets quickly become the
hottest ticket in town, as 5,000 season-ticket reservations were sold within a 48-
hour period.
In fact, the team sold 15,500 total season tickets in their first year! This team was
actually the third to adopt the name "Vancouver Whitecaps", as previous versions of
soccer teams had shared the same name at one point, the first being the Vancouver
Whitecaps of the former North American Soccer League, which disbanded in 1984.
The current team is headed by CEO Paul Barber, a former leading executive of the
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. After a rough initial season that saw them win
only one game, Vancouver Whitecaps tickets are now a valuable commodity.
The team colors pay homage to the teams' geographical location in British
Columbia, Canada. The navy blue in their uniform is indicative of the maritime legacy
surrounding the city of Vancouver, while the lighter blue is a nod to the reflections
of the white-capped North Shore Mountains nearby. A silver trim pays homage to a
former version of the teams' championship season of 1974. Those lucky enough to
be holders of Vancouver Whitecaps tickets will be watching their beloved team play
in BC Place Stadium, their current home field. The current squad is led by head coach
Martin Rennie, an able coach with strong soccer coaching experience. It is his job to
keep the demand for Vancouver Whitecaps tickets as strong as it is, calling on his
experiences gained while in Scotland.
BC Stadium Place, the site of their home games, has played host to the Vancouver
Whitecaps since renovations including the installation of a retractable roof were
finished in 2011. Recently, plans to build a new stadium for the team have been
scuttled, due to opposition from the local residents of Gastown, the proposed new
stadium site.
Purchasers of Vancouver Whitecaps tickets will continue to see their team play in BC
Stadium Place for the foreseeable future. Fans who purchase Vancouver Whitecaps
tickets are some of the most loyal in the entire MLS. A group of supporters known
as "The Southside's" has been in existence since 1999, having formed under the
previous version of the team. This group of loyal purchasers of Vancouver Whitecaps
tickets is named for their penchant of gathering in the beer garden at the south end
of the old Swangard Stadium, where the former Vancouver 86ers once played.
A group of rabid fans known as "La Doce", translated in English as "the twelfth
player", formed in the days when the team played at Empire Field. They are known
for their penchant for long fight songs with a heavy, constant drum beat with a Latin
style. These consistent purchasers of Vancouver Whitecaps tickets are very vocal
when the team is playing one of their hated arch rivals, such as the Seattle Sounders
or Portland Timber soccer clubs. Other rivalries of note include the teams in Toronto
and Montreal.

A pile of "minted" Bitcoins that were just made are arranged for a photograph in Sandy, Utah, U.S., on Friday, April 12, 2013. George Frey / Bloomberg
The UpTake: Not quite currency, not quite property, this massive bitcoin auction will be unlike anything we've quite seen before.
R oughly $17 million worth of confiscated bitcoins are currently on the auction block of the United States Marshalls service, after being confiscated from accounts associated with the Silk Road black market last year.
Thanks to a document leaked earlier this week we know the names of some of the people who expressed interest in the bidding, include the founders of five influential companies in the turbulent bitcoin economy.
Phase I of the auction, bidder registration, ended on Monday. Phase II, the online auction period began today at 6am EDT and ends at 6pm EDT. The nearly 30,000 bitcoins valued at approximately $580 are divided into 9 blocks of 3,000 coins and 1 block of 2,656 coins. Bidding can be either for just one block, or any fraction of the total blocks.
Phase III, the awarding of the sale will occur on Monday June 30, 2014, resulting in at least one winner getting even deeper into the bitcoin economy.

Not sure about that for us mere mortals!
I have only ridden it once so I'm no expert on this trail. I rode it on a dual sported XR650R about 9 years ago and there are two deep water crossings at the west end and (what seemed like) 40 miles of deep sand east of Kelbaker Road. I was able to do it on the 650 but there is no way I could have ridden that deep sand on my BMW R1200GSA.
I'm sure a rider with advanced skill could ride just about anything on this trail but many of us don't ride at that level.
Maybe there are some alternate routes I'm not aware of. We were also not able to ride across the dry lake bed on the west end because the mud was too deep and up to the axles.
One of these days I want to ride it again on my KTM 500EXC. I have a 5.3 gallon fuel tank so I should be able to easily make it all the way across without a fuel stop. When my group did it years ago, we needed two fuel stops because of our small tanks.
I came to ride...........

Hey all! Hope your weekend was great. I spent my Saturday at the Neighborhood Summit, so mine was super fun because I'm a huge dork. If you're like me and you're into community building, urban planning, transit, or anything else at all city related, though, it's kind of like our Midpoint. Highlights included a three-part panel discussion among Police Chief Jeffery Blackwell, activists Damon Lynch III and Iris Roley and other experts talking about how far the Cincinnati Police Department has come since 2001, as well as another set of presentations about immigration in Cincinnati.
Anyway, on to the news. Could labs on Cincinnati's East Side currently occupied by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health be a new home for the Hamilton County crime lab? County Commissioner Todd Portune says he's looking into that possibility. Last month, the federal government announced it was providing $100 million to build a new facility for NIOSH to combine the organization's two labs in Cincinnati into one complex over the next few years. That could free up plenty of lab space for the county's cramped and outdated morgue and crime labs, currently in a building built in the early 1970s. What's more, some of that $100 million could go toward renovating the current NIOSH lab so the county crime lab could move in. The idea comes after county commissioners killed a plan to move the morgue, crime lab and other county offices to a former Mercy Hospital in Mount Airy donated to the county for a dollar. Commissioners have said it would cost too much money to retrofit that building for the new offices.
• A statewide task force on police-community relations put together by Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the wake of controversy over police shootings is coming to Cincinnati tonight. A public listening session will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Kingsgate Marriott, 151 Goodman Drive, near the University of Cincinnati. City Locals Councilwoman Amy Murray, Pastor Damon Lynch III and others make up the panel, which will produce a report in April on ways to improve relationships between police and community members. Kasich ordered the task force in December in response to nationwide consternation over police shootings of unarmed citizens of color across the country. In Ohio, the August shooting death of John Crawford III in a Beavercreek Walmart and the October killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice on a playground in Cleveland have gotten national attention. Both held toy guns at the time of their deaths, and police say they seemed to pose a threat. But the families of both Rice and Crawford say police were reckless and did not act appropriately. They say the shootings are indicative of a larger cultural problem between police and communities of color.
• As political bickering continues to swirl around the streetcar's first phase, Councilman Chris Seelbach is pushing the city to work on planning the rail project's next leg. Seelbach has created a motion in council seeking to spur the city to begin work on plans that would take the streetcar uptown toward the University of Cincinnati and many of the city's hospitals. The motion directs the city administration to give detailed accounting of how much the next phase of the project would cost and how it might be paid for with state and federal grants. Seelbach has also requested the city refine its process for engaging community members along the route to get better input on the project. Originally, plans for the streetcar treated the downtown loop currently being built and an uptown jaunt as one phase. But then Gov. John Kasich pulled $55 million in state funding for the project, resulting in the current scaled-down scope. Mayor John Cranley, who has been a vocal opponent of the streetcar, has said it's much too soon to begin focusing on the next phase before the first is even finished. But Seelbach and other supporters say the only way to tap into federal funds and other sources of funding is to have a plan in place and ready to go.
• Sen. Sherrod Brown, one of Ohio's highest-profile Democrats, has endorsed former Gov. Ted Strickland in his run for the state's other senate seat, currently held by Republican Rob Portman. That's not a surprise — Strickland is one of Ohio's other super high profile Democrats — but it does signal the challenge City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld has ahead as he challenges Strickland in the Democratic primary for the seat. Sittenfeld, who announced his candidacy last month, has recently said he won't back down from the race despite his big name competitor. He's raised at least $500,000 for his run and told supporters last week that he's all in for the fight. Though Brown endorsed Strickland, he was careful to praise Sittenfeld in his announcement, saying the 30-year-old has a bright future in politics.
• In the face of issues around execution drugs, a steady number of exonerations of those on Ohio's death row and other factors, is it time to consider reforming or abolishing Ohio's death penalty? Many feel strongly that it is, including unlikely conservative opponents to the punishment. Recent delays to executions caused by Ohio's struggle to find a source for drugs that will end an inmate's life humanely have renewed calls for the state to reconsider its death penalty entirely. This Columbus Dispatch story takes a deep look into the issue and is worth a read.
• Finally, March 7 marked the 50th anniversary of the violent clash between police and protesters in Selma, Alabama, an event that helped fuel new national civil rights legislation, including the Voting Rights Act. Thousands visited Selma over the weekend to commemorate the anniversary, which was marked by passionate speeches by both President Barack Obama and outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder used his speech to question the future of the VRA, parts of which have been dismantled by recent Supreme Court decisions. Here's a pretty in-depth New York Times piece about events in Selma over the past few days.
That's it for me. You know the drill. Tweet (@nswartsell), e-mail (email@example.com), comment, send me a telegram or a fax (do people still fax? Is that still a thing?) Here we go. Tweet me about whether you still use a fax machine or even know what a fax machine is. I kind of do.
The movie is based on the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift, in which roughly 150 British and Welsh soldiers faced off against an overwhelming number of Zulu warriors at a mission station in southern Africa. In a lot of ways it's almost the British equivalent of the Battle of the Alamo — the difference in this case being the British soldiers won their battle, whereas all the defenders of the Alamo died.
Let's get this out of the way: Yes, there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in the movie. But anybody who has ever seen a "Based on a True Story" movie should be aware of that by now.
To me, some of the best war films out there are not the ones that are overly patriotic and about 'us vs. them,' but ones that show us who the people are on both sides or, at the very least, films that don't broad-brush the other side. With Zulu, we get that. Neither side is portrayed as the hero nor the villain; they're two powerful forces, in their own way, who duke it out in combat. Both are proven to be worthy adversaries who don't give up without a fight.
One thing I love about this film is the use of sound. The movie seems to use chats, songs and sounds as a motif about the sides. Probably the most effective use is when the Zulus arrive, coming over the ridge making a huge clatter with their assegai (short spears) and shields. One of the officers in charge, Gonville Bromhead (played by Michael Caine in his first film), says that it sounds, "Like a train…in the distance." This comparison works rather well. It's this constant clamor created that gives the audience an idea that the British are up against an almost unstoppable force. And when the near 4,000 Zulus pop up on the ridge, it seals the envelope.
Along with the drumming, the Zulus also have their own war chants which are another form used to intimidate the defenders, but on the morning of the second day the defenders reply with their own battle cry, the military march "Men of Harlech." I see this as director Cy Enfield's way of showing that even though these men are in a war against each other, they do have similarities. But the beautiful medleys of the British and Zulus are disrupted with the continuous roar and volley of rifle fire. And at the end of the battle many lay dead; although they are victorious, there's no cheers to be shouted. But the Zulus do offer a final chant of respect to their worthy adversaries.
At the end, Bromhead is asked by the
more experienced officer John Chard (Stanley Baker) what he thought of his
first action. Bromhead replies with "Sick," and Chard follows it with, "You'd
have to alive to be sick." A clever indication of the creative team's thoughts
on war.
There are many other great things to say about the film. The dynamic between Baker and Caine is fantastic, and supporting performances from James Booth as the drunk, petty thief Henry Hook (one of the controversial inaccuracies) and Nigel Greene as the tough but kindhearted Colour Sgt. Bourne are great. The performances from then-Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi and his people are impressive. Also the cinematography by Stephen Dade is gorgeous, he makes every shot interesting. It almost reminds me of a John Ford Western.
Lots of booze-based, full-weekend events going on. Bockfest and the Cincinnati International Wine Festival Grand Tastings both kick off tonight — one with a goat and the other with a far classier couple, Gina Gallo of the Gallo wine family and her husband Jean-Charles Boisset, of France's Boisset Family Estates winery.
Event: Bockfest
Cincinnatians not only love their beer, they also love to celebrate that they love their beer. They even love to celebrate the celebration of loving their beer. Bockfest, the oldest and largest German-style bock beer festival in the United States, is back to host a weekend of beer drinking, live music, German games, dancing, a 5k run and tons of sausage. The party kicks off 6 p.m. Friday with a parade led by a majestic bock — or to the non-German speaker, a goat — and a Sausage Queen, starting at Arnold's Bar & Grill and ending with a ceremonial keg blessing at the festival hub, Bockfest Hall (1619 Moore St., OTR). The festivities continue in tents and overflow into surrounding participating venues, none of which will have an admission fee. A free shuttle will run a continuous loop among Bockfest sites all weekend long, taking you quickly from one keg tapping to another.
Along the route will be a traditional fish fry at Old St. Mary's in OTR and a "veenie" vegan sausage roast outside Park + Vine. The festivities continue into the outdoor tent venues, and overflow into surrounding participating venues, none of which will have an admission fee. A free shuttle bus will run a continuous loop among the Bockfest sites all weekend long, taking you quickly from one keg tapping to another. To get a taste of history to sample with your beer, there will be tours of the city's historical breweries and underground tunnels, plus a Bockfest Heritage Series at the Woodward Theatre, with speakers, presentations, displays and stein collections. The third annual Bockfest 5k run takes off from Bockfest Hall 10 a.m. Saturday to benefit the Flying Pig Marathon charities — a great way to burn off all that beer. Grab a "Continental Bockfest" of Amish chicken, hot bacon sauerkraut slaw and plenty of German sausage noon-2 p.m. Sunday at Bockfest Hall, before dancing the night away at a traditional German folk dance … or at least until all the beer runs out. Friday-Sunday. Free. Full schedule of events at bockfest.com.
Event: Cincinnati International Wine Festival
If wine gets better with age, it makes sense that the Cincinnati International Wine Festival would too. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the three-day fest is made up of winery dinners at local restaurants and grand tastings, plus a Saturday charity auction and luncheon at the Hall of Mirrors. The fest, which is a nonprofit, has raised more than $4.2 million for local charities during its lifetime. And if you can do good while imbibing samples of more than 800 wines from around the world, what's better than that? Most winery dinners are sold out, but tickets are still available for Grand Tastings on Friday and Saturday, which allow expert and beginner oenophiles to taste rare, new and exciting wines while chatting with winemakers. Read our cheat-sheet for how to get your grape on here. 6:30-9 p.m. Friday; 2:30-4:30 p.m. and 6:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday. $65-$125. Duke Energy Convention Center, 525 Elm St., Downtown. winefestival.com.
Film: Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
For part two, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel continues along the same path, with a wistful, unfulfilled ache that lingers in each character, some moreso than others.
Douglas, having jettisoned Jean, pines for Evelyn. The two spend their days working through their retirement in Jaipur, and their evenings engaged in a most understated courtship. Norman, on the other hand, has settled down quite comfortably with Carol (Diana Hardcastle), a fellow pleasure-seeker, while Madge has a pair of eligible suitors hooked, but has an itch that neither is quite able to satisfactorily scratch for her.
Muriel and Sonny have the most obvious big-picture storyline, thanks to the burgeoning success of the first Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Sonny wants to expand but needs an infusion of cash and support, so the pair heads to the U.S. to negotiate with a branded chain headed by Ty Burley (the exquisitely bearded David Strathairn) who agrees, in principle, but sends an anonymous scout to check on things before making a final decision.
Of course, the secret inspector is slated to arrive just as Sonny's in the final stages of planning and executing his wedding to Sunaina, so there are the typical examples of mistaken identity and botched plans that must occur along the way before the happy ending, right? Check.
The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is all about the innumerable chances life offers, and the fierce fighting spirit that burns in us no matter the age or situation in which we find ourselves. Intriguingly, that spirit, this time out, replaces the exotic location, and with new beacons (in the form of Richard Gere and a much better used Lillete Dubey as Sonny's mother) presents a worthy second stay that could open the door for even more — not at all unwelcome — visits down the road. Opens wide Friday.
The Glorious Sons are a strong up-and-coming act out of Canada (Kingston, Ontario, to be exact) with a Rock sound that's a little rough around the edges, just the way they want it.
The band isn't trying to fit into a cookie cutter world of the music industry but deliver an authentic sound that connects with audiences. The Glorious Sons are currently on a U.S. club tour, but one listen to their new EP shows big things are on the horizon. They are currently touring with 10 Years, Otherwise and Luminoth. The tour comes to the Thompson House in Newport this Sunday (tickets/more info here). Get on the bandwagon early and come out to enjoy a night of great Rock music.
CityBeat spoke with frontman Brett Emmons to discuss the grind to get to where the band is today.
CityBeat: I know you are on this tour with 10 Years and Otherwise. How did this tour come together?
Brett Emmons: Our agent put the offer on the table for us back when we were on tour with Airborne in Canada. I am not really sure how it all came together but we knew if we went on tour with (10 Years) in the States, they wanted to come on tour with us in Canada. We have a pretty big draw in Canada whereas nobody really knew us in the States before we started this tour. So we sat down for breakfast and started talking with each other and we decided we were going to do the tour. We looked forward to it and two months later we were on the road with 10 Years.
CB: I recently listened to the album this week and I have to be honest, I think it is one of the best things I have heard in a long time and I have specific questions about some songs on the album.
BE: Thank you.
CB: One of my favorite songs on the album was "Amigo." Could you tell me a little bit of the backstory behind that song and how it came about?
BE: One thing when you are writing tunes, at least for us, it follows like every other song, a loose story with a lot of feelings. When I start writing, I never know what the ending is going to be like or what the song is going to completely look like. I know what the song's direction is going to be but I never start the story at the end. It is about my time in Halifax when I was there a couple years and there was a particular person that I was hanging around with a lot and writing a lot of music with. It's about his fall from grace during the time I was hanging out with him and my fall from grace as well. It is about watching someone with so much potential self-doubt themselves and losing it all because they were scared.
CB: You brought up writing the lyrics. Can you talk about the band's process and how you put the songs together and write together?
BE: We all do help with lyrics, too. If there is a lyric that is not covered right, everybody has their input; there are five guys and five guys who think they are songwriters and so you are never really short on ideas.
Usually somebody will bring something to the jam room and we will either be jiving with it or not jiving with it. What happens, someone will start playing something or singing something and somebody else will join in and a third person will join in and you will have five guys trying to whittle this broad thing into a song. Other times it may start with a bass riff or playing. We don't have an equation for it and I don't think we should. It is basically about spontaneity and just people working together doing their thing. Everybody has their job and everybody likes to do it. It comes pretty easy right now. Who knows? I imagine when we are 40 we will be dead tired.
CB: The thing I felt was interesting about the album was all the songs sound different. Sometimes I get albums and every song sounds the same, basically. I thought it was unique that, song to song, there was a different flavor you would get while listening.
BE: Yeah. That is what we thought, too. A lot of bands tend to use digital songs now and try to find what their sound is. We just rock and roll. We didn't know what we wanted to sound like or what we wanted to be. We are just five guys playing instruments trying to write songs and whatever way they come out is the way we want people to hear them.
When you listen to the Stones, not every song on a Stones album sounds the same. If you think about that, nowadays, I feel like too many people are trying to fit themselves into a genre rather than finding out what happens.
CB: When did you know that this is what you wanted to do for your career?
BE: In high school I was asked to sing for a band and I didn't know how to sing. I couldn't sing worth a shit and I started singing with that band. They kicked me out of the band because they wanted a real singer. I bought an acoustic guitar and I took one of my favorite songs and I practiced it for months. I practiced singing it and I practiced playing it until my voice sounded good enough. Then I put a band together and we beat (the band I was kicked out of) in the Battle of the Bands and I won best singer at the show. For the first time I put together a song and started singing and realized how fun it was and I could be myself. When I started writing songs, I could put myself on paper and give myself a sound and words. That's when I realized I wanted to do it.
Growing up my brother (Glorious Sons guitarist Jay Emmons) was in a band, a guitarist in a band. I grew up watching him play my entire life. When I really started playing, we started jamming together. It was always a dream of ours to throw a band together and play music together for a living. We didn't know it would be this good but we just wanted to pay our bills with music and write songs. That has ended up happening and we are pretty happy.
CB: I have been talking to several bands that have siblings that play together. Are there any issues with that, being with your brother all the time?
BE: No. We argue a little bit because we are brothers and the most open with each other. He has always been my best friend and my rock. I grew up with him, taking advice from him, basically worshipping the ground he walked on. We are best friends. Playing in a band with your brother can go one of two ways — you can be assholes to each other or be real and good to each other, which is what we do, even though we are assholes sometimes.
CB: You said earlier you played one song over and over, what was that song?
BE: It's a song called "Wheat Kings" by Tragically Hip, it's a Canadian band. I'm not sure you would know them but they are Rock royalty, maybe Canada's favorite band of all time within country. They come down here and play but in Canada every show they play is in a sold-out stadium.
CB: One of the songs on the album is "The Union," which is also the title of the album. It seems to have a social and political message. Was that on purpose?
BE: No, not really. I'd like to clear this up, so I'm glad you asked. A few people get a bad taste in their mouth about the chorus: "I'll never join the union because I never wanted it easy." When you listen to the song it is just a metaphor for life and growing up and wanting to be different and still wanting to question things and question society and be the dirty little kid that you were when you were young and not caring about what people thought. There are some ties to the subject a little bit. My father's shop was almost shut down when we were younger by a union. It was kind of an ode to him because he was able to maintain his shop without the union. He went from having 10 employees to having one employee. We went through some hard times but he was able to keep the family together and keep the shop up and running and to this day provide a comfortable life for us.
It is not a political stand against any union in any way. It is about growing up and not doing what everyone wants you to do.
CB: A lot of bands are collaborating now and playing together. I know you guys are just starting out but is there anybody you'd like to do a dream collaboration with?
BE: I'd love to pick Bruce Springsteen's brain a little bit. Words, mostly. He is one of my favorites of all time. That is a huge dream though. In Canada, we collaborate with people like The Trews and heroes from that country and it would be cool to see what it would be like to write with Kings of Leon or bands like that. Mainly, we are more focused on collaborating with each other. Everyone in our band knows what we want. We work well together. I guess it would be fun to collaborate with (KoL's) Caleb Followill or The Tallest Man on Earth or someone like that but, again, these are big, big pipe dreams.
CB: You mentioned The Trews. I know you worked with (Trews guitarist) John-Angus MacDonald on your first and second EP. What was that process like and why did you choose him? I recently talked to Godsmack and they were talking about the role of their producer and that he keeps the peace and how they really trust and listen to him. Why did you choose MacDonald and how did you work together?
BE: When we chose him … he chose us actually. We were playing a competition and we won it. He was one of the judges and came up to me after the show and said he wanted to see what it would be like to produce one of our albums. My brother grew up going to Trews shows and we were all fans of The Trews. Basically, that was the most excited I have ever been in my entire life. It felt like our shot and it really was. He took a chance on us. We got into the studio and we started playing our tunes and listening to him and fighting with him a bit too on things.
We didn't really look for a producer. At the time, I don't think I even knew what a producer did. I had never had a producer on any of my albums before and I never really made an album that had cost any amount of real money. We got in there and he showed us the ropes of what it was like to work in a real studio. We let him go off when he had a good idea or a good pass. When I felt like what he was doing was against my vision, I'd take a hard stance and he'd have to prove me wrong or he'd listen to me. He was really the guy who found our band and took a chance on us. He is the reason we are doing this for a living right now. We love the guy and he has been so good to us. He is one of our best friends. He took us on tour. It has been such a great experience with him.
CB: It sounds like you guys are excited to be on the road. What is your craziest tour story so far?
BE: It was on our first tour in Canada. It was in late November, just before December. The snow was falling and it was starting to get really cold. The bus we were on broke down on the highway and was unfixable. We had to rent a U-Haul truck because it was the only thing that had a hitch on it and we weren't going to leave our trailer that had all our gear in it. For two weeks, we slept in the back of a U-Haul moving truck while two people drove, in the Canadian cold. It was a tough couple weeks, but then again, we knew stuff like that was going to happen, if you spend your life on the road, especially with your vehicles. But you get over things like that. When we finally got off the U-Haul, we were home in Kingston. It made being home that much better.
The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing that will decide the fate of same-sex marriage bans in Ohio and three other states. On April 28, the court will hear arguments over whether same-sex marriage bans in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Tennessee violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
Ohio's ban passed as an amendment to the state's constitution in 2004. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and other ban supporters say upholding the ban is about protecting voters' rights to enact laws via the democratic process. But opponents equate same-sex marriage to now-protected civil rights such as provisions upholding voting rights and school integration that had to be upheld by decisions from the courts. They also cite more recent polls that show attitudes toward same-sex marriage are shifting.
Last year, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court in Cincinnati upheld the bans in the four states in a 2-1 decision, agreeing with DeWine's argument. But there are signs the Supreme Court may not agree.
Other circuit courts across the country have thrown out similar bans. And in June 2014, the nation's highest court struck down a 1996 federal law that effectively banned same-sex marriage in a narrow 5-4 decision. The five justices opposed to the federal bans included reliably liberal Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer as well as moderate Justice Anthony Kennedy, who many legal experts believe represents the crucial vote for matters pitting liberals against conservatives on the court. All five justices who voted to strike down the federal ban remain on the court, though some have joined its more conservative wing in upholding other bans, most notably California's 2008 ban.
Among the four cases to be presented in arguments over Ohio's ban is a lawsuit against the state by James Obergefell of Cincinnati. Obergefell sought to be listed as the spouse of his terminally-ill longtime partner John Arthur on Arthur's death certificate. The state refused to allow that, even though the two were legally married in another state. Arthur died in October 2013.
After oral arguments, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the cases sometime in June.
Hello Cincy! Here's a brief rundown of what's going on in the news today.
As I told you about earlier this week, Cincinnati City Council passed a new dog law that levies steep civil penalties (up to $15,000) for dog owners who don't control their pets. The law was changed just slightly before passage, cutting out criminal penalties that duplicated already existing state laws. Council also wrangled over the streetcar again (surprise) and passed a measure that would increase the highest possible salary for assistant city manager to more than $160,000, a big bump. That move came with some argument from council members Yvette Simpson and Chris Seelbach, who felt raising prospective salaries at the top sent the wrong message when frontline workers are receiving just a 1.5 percent increase in pay. Council did also approve a small cost of living allowance increase for non-union city workers as well at their meeting yesterday, however.
• Local craft brewers Rhinegeist got some bummer news yesterday from the state of Kentucky, though other craft brewers may feel differently about a bill that passed the state Senate. That bill, HB 168, prohibits brewers in Kentucky from also owning distribution companies. That's bad news for Rhinegeist because the company is just three months into its River Ghost venture, which was to distribute their beer as well as other spirits in the Bluegrass State. Other craft brewers are elated by the prospective law, however, because it also prohibits brewing giant Anheuser-Busch from owning distribution in the state. Smaller brewers say giant brewing companies put their own beers front and center in their distribution, muscling the little guy out. Anheuser-Busch will have to sell or close its two distributing businesses in the state.
• The University of Cincinnati College of Law now has a female dean for the first time in its 182-year history. UC announced yesterday that it has chosen Jennifer Bard for the top position at the law school. Bard is currently a law professor and assistant provost at Texas Tech University. She's highly regarded: She was also a candidate for the top job at three other law schools. Bard, who has a background in bioethics and public health, will do double duty at UC, also serving on faculty at the university's College of Medicine.
• We here at CityBeat's news desk ("we" being pretty much just me and editor Danny Cross sometimes) talk a lot about affordable housing here in the morning news and in our more in-depth reporting. And while it's true that the rental market is seeing an affordability crisis, with rents going up and affordable units going down, the home ownership market is a different story. Cincinnati is one of the most affordable cities in the country in terms of owning a home, according to a recent ranking by website Next City. Cincinnati ranks fourth in the country, behind just Pittsburgh, Cleveland and St. Louis in the estimated yearly salary needed to afford the average house in the city. Of course, that's still a firmly middle-class salary: about $33,500, which aligns pretty neatly with the city's median household income of $33,700.
• Think back about four months or so, if you can, to a flap about Ohio Gov. John Kasich allegedly saying that he didn't think Obamacare could be repealed. The Associated Press insisted Kasich made the assertion during an interview, while the governor said he only meant that Medicaid expansions in the states that had accepted money from the federal government couldn't be repealed. Kasich asked for a correction. AP stood its ground. Sound nitpicky? Kind of, but it was a really big deal because repealing Obamacare is a GOP obsession and any Republican, especially one of Kasich's stature, saying it wasn't possible risked all sorts of slings and arrows from the party. Now, as Kasich seeks to gain the GOP nomination for president, and as Obamacare hangs on a Supreme Court decision, Kasich has finally wrung a correction out of AP. The news group now says it misunderstood him and that he meant to say that Medicaid couldn't be repealed, not Obamacare in total. Right.
• The Department of Justice will not seek civil rights charges against Officer Darren Wilson or the Ferguson Police Department in connection with the August shooting death of unarmed black citizen Michael Brown. But they are not happy with the department. At all. The DOJ issued a scathing and, quite frankly, terrifying report about the Ferguson PD, citing numerous instances of racial bias, inappropriate use of force and seeming violations of citizens' rights. Eighty-eight percent of the department's uses of force were against black residents of the city, according to the DOJ. The report claims that the department has been functioning as little more than a revenue-collecting arm of the city's government and that ticket quotas were established solely for the purpose of raising funds for the city. The revelations come as the country continues to grapple with questions around race and police use of force.
That's it for me. I'm off to put together next week's feature and an upcoming cover story and will be out tomorrow doing so, so this is goodbye for the week. I'll miss y'all! What do you want to see CityBeat dive into next? Hit me with it on Twitter: @nwarstell or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hey all. Let's get this news thing going before the snow comes once again and grinds everything to a halt. Or just dusts the ground with a little inconvenient powder, depending on how much you trust weather forecasters.
Yesterday I told you a bit about 3CDC's presentation to City Council's Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee. During that meeting, 3CDC head Steven Leeper said the developer might cross the $1 billion threshold this year for investment made in the basin since it began in 2003. Let's dig into my notes a bit and talk in more detail about a couple things regarding Over-the-Rhine the developers have planned.
One of the noteworthy projects on the group's radar is a redevelopment of Ziegler Park on Sycamore Street. The park is across from the former SCPA building and just a block from Main Street's active corridor of restaurants, bars and apartments. 3CDC head Steve Leeper said Ziegler's revamp would increase the number of basketball courts and other active features currently found there. Removal of the courts at Washington Park during its 2010 revamp by 3CDC caused controversy among neighborhood residents, many of whom used the courts regularly. Leeper promised that while Washington Park's character is more "passive" in nature, Ziegler would be a much more "active" park.
"There will be a lot more athletic activities going on there," Leeper said, "and hopefully it will attract kids from the neighborhood who can spend their time in those athletic endeavors like we all did when we were kids."
• Leeper also outlined progress on three facilities for individuals without homes — two in Queensgate set to replace the Drop Inn Center and City Gospel Mission facilities currently in Over-the-Rhine and a third in Mount Auburn built to replace the Anna Louise Inn downtown. These projects have been controversial — advocates fought hard for years to keep the Drop Inn Center at its location in OTR and a protracted legal battle stretched on for many months between Cincinnati Union Bethel, which runs the Anna Louise Inn in Lytle Park, and Western & Southern Financial Group, which eventually purchased the property against CUB's wishes. The new spaces are a bit further from the city's center, though they do have a larger capacity.
• Speaking of the Drop Inn Center, its winter shelter will be open the rest of this week in response to dropping temperatures, according to a release sent out by the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless. Usually, the winter shelter is closed by this time of year, but with winter taking its time going away, the shelter will stay open a bit longer.
• Here we go again: More streetcar drama could be coming our way. There is currently a potential fight brewing over who will operate the transit project. Council has set a limit of $4.3 million a year on bids for running the streetcar. The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority is taking bids on the contract, and there's controversy over whether to use union employees for the job or not. Some council members favor that move, even if it costs a bit more, and they've asked SORTA to negotiate with the Amalgamated Transit Union, which also runs the city's bus service. But ATU has accused SORTA of dragging its feet on contract negotiations and trying to undercut the union by demanding a separate collective bargaining agreement for running the streetcar. SORTA says a separate agreement is necessary because the scale of the streetcar — just 30 employees at most — is much smaller than 750 people who run the city's bus service. Union officials, however, says that SORTA is trying to get the lowest bid possible out of the union in order to drive other bids down as well. My guess is we'll be hearing a lot more on this one. A decision must be made on the operator of the project by July.
• Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld today said he will stay in the race for U.S. Senate, ending speculation he might bow out after former governor Ted Strickland entered the race last week. Sittenfeld will face Strickland in the Democratic primary. The winner will face incumbent Sen. Rob Portman, unless he is felled by a primary challenger — an unlikely possibility.
"Since we launched our campaign, I have been more grateful than I can express for the enthusiasm, encouragement and support we've received," Sittenfeld said today in a statement on social media and his website. "So I want you — my supporters and friends — to hear it from me directly: I'm all in. Ohio needs a forward-looking leader to replace Rob Portman and the broken culture in Washington that he's long been part of."
• You might be able to walk around The Banks with a bit of the ole' alcheyhol on Opening Day. For a while now, lawmakers in Ohio have been trying to pass legislation that would allow cities to designate open container districts where folks can have a beer out in public. It looks like the legislation is good to go, with enough support at the State House, and now local officials are telling the Ohio General Assembly to hurry the dang thing up so we can chug a couple Moerleins in public to celebrate the Reds beating the Pirates April 6. The bill looks likely to pass the House, hopefully with the two-thirds vote margin needed to put it into effect immediately. Local State Sens. Democrat Cecil Thomas and Republican Bill Seitz have introduced a bill in the Senate to speed the process up there as well. Now that's what I call bipartisanship. If the bill passes, council will have to scramble to create and approve the districts, one of which looks likely to be the area around the stadium. Ladies and gentlemen, you have a month. Get to work.
• Hey! Do you want people fracking in state parks? It could happen soon whether you like it or not. Four years ago, Gov. John Kasich signed into law a provision allowing fracking on state land. He then pulled a fast one and declined to fund the commission that would give drillers approval for fracking permits on that land, basically circumventing the law he signed. Very clever. But the Ohio General Assembly, which is currently dominated by pro-fracking Republicans, is working to pass a bill called House Bill 8 that would bypass that commission. Proponents of the bill say it's meant to help private landowners who want to sell drilling rights to wells that might end up under state land. But critics note that under the current version of the bill, so called "surface impacts," or drilling directly on state land, are not outlawed and would be permissible if the law passes. The bill heads to committee next week and looks to pass there, after which it will be considered by the whole House.
• In national news, Supreme Court arguments begin in King vs. Burwell today, a lawsuit which could revoke health care subsidies for 7.5 million people currently signed up under the Affordable Care Act under the federal exchange. The core of the case is the contention that the language of the 2009 law does not allow the federal government to issue subsidies to people who went through the federal exchange, and that only those living in states that created their own exchanges are eligible for government help with their health care bills. It's a nitpicky suit turning on a few words in a turn of phrase, but it could completely unravel Obamacare by making it unaffordable for those in the 34 states that did not or could not establish their own health care exchanges online. Many agree that's the point of the suit, in fact — another attempt to repeal the healthcare system by throwing a legal wrench into its works. Just think! A pedantic semantics debate could leave millions without access to health care. And you thought clear writing wasn't important.

Speedy Travesura Makes Miesque Mischief
Fast-developing Travesura took the lead at the start and was never headed while shaking up the $100,000 Miesque Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 2-year-old fillies on the turf at odds of 11-1 Nov. 24 at Betfair Hollywood Park (VIDEO).
The winner, a Limehouse filly out of the winless Tale of the Cat mare Tempestra, was bred in Kentucky by Moonshadow Ranch. The chestnut sold for $60,000 as a 2-year-old in training at the Ocala Breeders Sale Co. in April.

Three incredible UK mountain walks to try this summer

Mountain weather forecast
Mountains can be inhospitable and dangerous places for the ill-prepared. From one hour to the next, from one hill to the next, they can exhibit a dramatic variation in weather conditions. Whether it's a well-planned expedition or a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to the hills, it is important to check the forecast.
Britain has seven 'main' mountainous areas, which have been declared as such because of their high visitor numbers. These areas welcome thousands of visitors every year to take in the scenery, admire the wildlife and - most often - challenge some of the peaks.
Despite their popularity, mountain ranges are some of the most dangerous territories on offer in Britain and can be perilous for the woefully under-prepared. It's worth ensuring that it's not only physical kit that is sorted ahead of time, but also knowledge and understanding of the local area and variety of weather.
Mountain forecasts are provided for the main mountain areas and those which have the highest visitor figures. Forecasts are issued twice per day and are valid for the full 24 hour period on each day.

The street will receive a total makeover next year, according to District 2 Chief District Engineer Kevin McClearn, P.E. The state intends to let the bid for construction work on College Drive in December. The construction will take most of the year to complete, he said.
In 2008, the project was placed on the Six Year Plan by the Kentucky General Assembly. Unlike most projects on the Six Year Plan that take many years to see funding, the College Drive project received funding in the next budget cycle. For 2010, the project was funded $1,350,000 ― $250,000 for design, $100,000 for right-of-way acquisition and $1,000,000 to relocate utilities.
McClearn said that with the completion of design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation and with construction monies allocated, the project can continue to completion.
In January 2011, engineers estimated the cost of the project would be $2,360,000 and would have two 11-foot lanes with an 11-foot center. Engineers have said that the narrower lanes, curbs and curbed center spaces would cause drivers to slow down without lowering the speed limit below its current 45 mph. McClearn did not divulge the total cost estimate now; but, a press conference will be held soon and more details will be announced.
The latest plans call for a three-lane road with about two-thirds of the center being a turn lane and the balance a curbed green. The plan was changed from an original design after significant opposition by local residents. That design considered four- and five-lane options. The latest plan received almost universal acceptance by residents of College Drive. McClearn said only minor changes have been made to the plan unveiled in July 2010. The public will have an opportunity to see the final design at a public announcement to be scheduled.

What is still missing here is any kind of an end-to-end view of infrastructure latency that is also real time, deterministic and comprehensive. The marrying of the SAN point of view with the IP network point of view is the obvious combination. The hard issue here will be the identification of the applications so that these view of infrastructure performance can be surfaced on a per application basis. In summary, we have a long way to go here, and this just might be why so many of those virtualization projects for business critical and performance critical applications are having so much trouble getting traction.
Ericom AccessNow is the first HTML5 client for Microsoft RDP/VMware View. An HTML5 offers the option of organisations delivering access to services not only from personal devices, or kiosk terminals, but from the growing range of devices that have a browser as their core OS such as the Chromebook. At the moment, this is a freely available resource – I'd recommend a look.
VMTurbo's unique Service Assurance capabilities (and the ability to charge for them in the paid products) allows VMTurbo to make baseline performance and capacity management for vSphere environments available for free. This represents a significant redefinition of where the value is and where the value is not in the virtualization performance management business.
The 6/30 Virtualization Security Podcast with Simon Crosby Founder and CEO of Bromium started with a discussion of SaaS security but soon went to a discussion of Data Security. Simon left Citrix not to long ago to form a new company, Bromium, to seriously look into how the hypervisor itself can provide better security for data manipulations than it does today. But first we started off with SaaS and how you can Identify the user within a cloud.
The news today is that Compuware has acquired dynaTrace. This is an extremely significant development as this is the first example of one of the "traditional" systems management vendors (IBM, HP, CA, BMC, Compuware, Quest), stepping up their game to acquire one of these new innovators that address these new use cases and requirements.
Cisco took the covers of its long awaited Cius tablet earlier this week, a full year after it was first announced. Cisco has finally released price and shipping date for it's highest profile product since the launch of its ground braking UCS compute platform in March 2009.
In a press release on June 29, 2011 AppSense announced that its User Virtualization Platform is now a core building block of HP's new Client Virtualization Reference Architecture. Along with Microsoft, VMware and Citrix, AppSense User Virtualization has been recognized by HP as a crucial technology for a successful architecture that meets the goals for client virtualization.
Applications Performance Profiling is an essential step in the process of virtualizing business critical and performance critical applications. In this case "performance" means response time not resource utilization. The virtualization team should go even further and commit to meeting response time based SLA's for business and performance critical virtualized applications.
Security in the cloud and the virtual environment is 'all about the data' and not specifically about any other subsystem. It is about the data. As such the data has something it knows (the contents of the data), something it is (its signature), and something it has (its digital rights) and since it has these three elements, the data has all it has identity. However, protecting the data requires us to put things between the data and the real world such as firewalls, and complex role based access controls, as well as methods to replicate the data to other locations in a non-intrusive mechanism. The goal to such replication could be to ensure multiple sites have the same data (such as a hot-site) or to have the data available in another locations in case of disaster.

Police declare agent wanted over sale of property to governor
An Abuja based property agent, Mr. Obinna Kanu has been declared wanted by the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Abuja for allegedly selling the property of his principal to the Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari.
According to Special Police Gazette Bulletin number CR: 3000/FHQ/ABJ/SEB/08/03/11 issued under the authority of the Acting Inspector General of Police, Kanu is wanted for alleged conspiracy, forgery and stealing the sum of N300 million belonging to one Chief Ernest Elochukwu.
The said property, located at 1, Fatai Williams Street, Asokoro was reportedly sold to the Governor by the agent without the Governor knowing that the agent did not have the consent of the owner of the property.
The Bulletin also stated that Kanu sold another of Elochukwu's property, on House 421 (A) Road, Federal Housing Authority Estate, Lugbe for another sum of N200 million. He was said to have converted the proceeds from the two properties to his personal use.
The police similarly stated that the agent allegedly converted to his personal use another sum of N100 million given him by Elochukwu for the purpose of procuring a quarry license.
"The method used in committing the offence is that the suspect being the manager in charge of Sir Elochukwu Ernest properties in Abuja, fraudulently sold Chief Elochukwu's properties at No. 1 Fatai Williams Street, Asokoro and House 421 (A) Road, FHA Estate, Lugbe, Abuja respectively without his consent and converted the proceeds amounting N200,000,000.00."
"If seen, the suspect should be apprehended and handed over to any nearest police formation or directly to the office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police Special Enquiry Bureau (S.E.B) 'D' Department FCID, Area 10, Garki, Abuja", the bulletin added.

protection from UV rays, sunglasses will be marked with a sticker that
tells you how much UV radiation they block. Cinzia Designs offers sun
wear with polarized lenses and each pair is marked with a UV 400
sticker, which guarantees 99-100% UV light protection. Look for these
labels on your sun wear.
4. Discount Glasses Can Mean Discount Protection: It's tempting to pick up
a pair of knock-off Versace's on Venice beach -- but what are you
really buying? Chances are those cheap copies offer little to no
protection from the sun. Sunglasses do not have to be pricey -- many
stores like Target offer inexpensive and chic options that also protect
your eyes.
5. Love Thy Glasses: Trends come and go, but you should select a style
that truly suits your style and needs. You are much more likely to wear
your sun protection if you feel and look great in your frames. Don't
buy trendy glasses that you will never wear. Buy sunglasses that make
you shine!

A MONSTROUS row is brewing over the auction on 20 May of a tyrannosaur fossil. The problem? The dinosaur - Tarbosaurus bataar - has only ever been found in Mongolia, and exporting fossils from the country has been illegal for 50 years.
Bidding at Heritage Auctions in New York proceeded despite a temporary restraining order and pleas to stop from the Mongolian president and palaeontologists.
Heritage, however, says that the $1.05 million sale is "conditional" on legal issues being resolved.
As New Scientist went to press the left leg of another Tarbosaurus fossil was sitting on display at the Christie's saleroom in London, waiting for auction. The auction house is located near the Natural History Museum.
"I only became aware of [the auction] when I happened to see the specimen in the window," says Paul Barrett, a palaeontologist at the museum. "I have written to Christie's asking about provenance in the light of the news about the US sale."

The amendments in Colorado and North Dakota giving legal rights to fetuses would leave people seeking in vitro fertilization in the dust.
Colorado's bishops, speaking through the Colorado Catholic Conference, say they've taken a "neutral" stance on Colorado's "personhood" amendment. But they've backed church activity supporting the amendment and are criticizing a campaign against the measure by Catholics for Choice, which claims the bishops have tacitly backed Amendment 67.
Amendment 1's proponents claim that it "neutralizes" the law on abortion; in reality, the measure would rob pregnant women of the full protections of Tennessee's constitution.
The emergency request comes after a lower court ruled the law could take effect November 1.
Supporters of the clinic have wanted to fight back for a long time, but were waiting for a window of opportunity to take a stand.
Egg freezing is an individualized, questionably effective technical fix for a fundamentally social problem.
If Colorado expands the definition of "person" and "child" in its criminal code to include "unborn human beings," the results would be especially devastating for Latina women and other women of color.
A leading online streaming-video service has rejected an advertisement that features a rape victim who opposes Colorado's "personhood" amendment, because the issue of abortion is too "controversial." But Hulu runs ads on other political issues.
Anyone who believes that adoption or foster care is a real solution to growing restrictions on reproductive rights is kidding themselves.
Women are being sent to prison for up to 40 years in El Salvador based on a test that, according to a new report, researchers deemed unreliable more than 100 years ago.

Summer 2015 Locker Distribution
Current locker leases are valid from September 8th, 2014-August 15th, 2015.
Need a locker for the summer semester? Summer Locker Distribution will be on Friday May 8th between 9am-4pm in Beatty 013. You must have your WIT ID to confirm your commuter status.
Locker FAQs
1. How long do I get to keep my locker? One academic year (Fall-Summer). Your locker lasts for the full academic year (September-August). The exact dates are on the Locker Lease you signed upon registering for the locker. For the 2014-2015 academic year, locker leases are valid through August 15th, 2015.
2. Do I need to renew my locker every semester? No. Once you register for a locker, you are able to keep that locker throughout the lease terms which always end in mid-August. For example, if you registered for a locker in September 2014, you are able to keep that locker (without sending a renewal statement) until August 2015.
3. I want to make sure I keep the same locker next year. How and when do I renew it? Locker renewal emails are sent out every July and August reminding you to do one of the following: 1) Fill out a Locker Renewal Form (available in July) online to keep your current locker or turn in a locker you no longer wish to use. A lack of response gives Commuter Student Programs permission to reclaim and re-distribute your locker to another student. The Locker Renewal Form must be filled out no later than August 14th, 2015.
4. I forgot my locker combination. How may I obtain it? You may contact Mallory Pernaa at firstname.lastname@example.com to request your locker combination, locker number, or location. You may also call 617-989-4487 or stop by her office in 013 Beatty. We recommend keeping your locker information stored safely in your email or phone for reference.
5. My locker has been damaged or broken. Contact Public Safety at 617-989-4444 if any suspicious activity occurs including a broken lock, missing lock, or damaged locker. To ensure your locker is secure, make sure to close the lock and turn the dial a few times and check it before leaving.
6. I'm not sure how to use the combination lock. Please help. To open a combination lock you will need to turn the dial to the right 3 full turns to clear the lock. After you turn the dial 3x to the right, stop on the first number in your locker combination. Turn the dial to the left one full turn and then continue turning the dial to the left to the second number in your combination. Turn the dial directly to the third number in the combination. Check out a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmx4WCAj77A.
Choosing a Locker Location
Consider the following when choosing a locker location:
- Where are most of your classes?
- What times will you need to access your locker (only weekdays, weekends, later in the evening)? Some academic buildings close when classes are not in session so access is limited in the late evening and on weekends ( Rubenstein and Watson halls). For lockers with late night and full weekend access, you should consider Annex or Beatty.
- Where do you plan on spending the most time?
- How are you commuting to campus (car/train/etc) and which locker location will be on your way to campus or on your way home.
Locker Overview and Lease Agreement
All commuter and off-campus students are eligible for a locker. Residential students may not sign up for a locker. You must have your WIT ID to obtain a locker and confirm your commuter status. Once registered, commuters will receive a combination to their locker and a contract with a list of the following policies:
- Lockers are the property of Wentworth Institute of Technology.
- You must use the lock issued to you by Commuter Student Programs at all times. Personal locks are not permitted.
- You must contact Commuter Student Programs and vacate the locker prior to transferring, graduating, or when the locker is no longer of use to you. Occupying the locker during co-op, however, is permitted.
- Please reference the Student Code of Conduct for a list of items that not permitted on campus.
- You must be the sole occupant of the locker. Please do not share the locker or the combination with anyone else.
- Please pay attention to posted signage on or around the lockers for any updates or issues with locker assignments.
- Wentworth Institute of Technology is not responsible for any lost, damaged, or stolen items from your locker. If something is taken from your locker, contact Public Safety. Please use at your own risk.
Failure to comply with the above mentioned policies may result in disciplinary action. Lockers are available in Rubenstein, Annex, Flanagan Campus Center (Beatty), and Watson. Gymnasium lockers are not available through the Office of Commuter Student Programs.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 617.989.4487.

COLUMBIA A state lawmaker is trying again to strengthen South Carolinas public records laws.
For the second year in a row, Rep. Bill Taylor has proposed a measure that would bar public agencies, governments and school districts from charging excessive fees for public records and require them to respond more quickly.
A similar bill sailed through the state House last session but stalled in the Senate.
Taylor is a former newspaper reporter, TV anchorman and TV news consultant. The Aiken Republican says hes well acquainted with governments tactics of delay and excessive charges and feels that citizens should have more direct access to public information.
South Carolina Press Association executive director Bill Rogers says the bill would make it easier for people to get public records without needing lawyers.

Rode MK's PotC tonight. Noticed three things...
- All lighting between the Blackbeard projection and the beach with crabs/skeletons was totally off and it was completely dark in that area. Absolutely 0 lighting after the Blackbeard projection until the beach scene. Seems logical to believe that that may be in an effort to hide things in that area that are not currently show worthy.
- There was a black scrim (opaque with current lighting) behind the beach scene, which would match the concept art that flynnibus shared and may be the "black cloth" that DisneyTwins mentioned.
- Probably unrelated to the mermaids rumor or either of the above, but there was a TON of fog in the scene where the Wicked Wench is firing on the Spanish fort - much more than I ever remember, and so much so that it made it difficult to see the Barbossa AA.

Resolution: standard / high
Figure 2.
Linear relationship between reflectivity and refractive index change. Shown are simulated SPR reflectivity curves of 470 nm (blue) and 630 nm (red) excitation light for 30 nm thick gold. Three curves for each wavelength were used to simulate a protein layer of thickness 0 nm, 10 nm and 20 nm. The vertical line drawn at an angle of 56.0° indicates the incident angle used for SPRI. The inset shows the reflectivity values (at 56.0°) versus protein layer thickness for both wavelengths and shows a linear fit through each. The 630 nm incident light shows a steeper slope than 470 nm for reflectivity change indicating a greater sensitivity to protein adsorption.

The highlight of the last quarter of 2014 for the MDS-AOS was the 4th Asian and Oceanian Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Congress (AOPMC) that was held in beautiful Pattaya, Thailand at the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall from November 28-30, 2014. It was the largest AOPMC to date with more than 800 participants from over 30 countries. We are grateful for the hard-work, dedication and support of the following organizations, committees, and individuals for making the meeting a success:
In addition to the many excellent plenary and parallel sessions at the AOPMC, one novel event for the Congress was the Video Tournament that was organized by a dedicated committee, led by Dr. Priya Jagota from Thailand. In this Video Tournament, 26 junior participants from eight countries were grouped into eight mixed teams comprising members from different countries. After a preliminary speed round where teams had to vie to be the fastest fingers on the buzzer to answer questions, four teams proceeded to the finals. In the final round, teams were asked to comment on various movement disorder videos presented by discussing their likely diagnosis, investigations and management. The winner of the Video Tournament was the team named as "The Restless" that consisted of Drs. Zheyu Xu (Singapore), Ee-Wei Lim (Singapore) and Ai-Huey Tan (Malaysia).
Another highlight of the Congress was the inaugural MDS-AOS Lectureships. We were honored to have Prof. Nobutaka Hattori present the Yoshikuno Mizuno Lecture, entitled "Pathogenesis of PD: mechanistic insights from gene functions of monogenic forms of PD" and Prof. Robert Iansek present the Philip Thompson Lecture, entitled "Comprehensive care in PD: are we ready yet?". We would also like to congratulate the Junior Awards winners who were Dr. Linda Oosterveld from Singapore/Netherlands (clinical research) and Dr. Norihito Uemura from Japan (basic science research).
Moving ahead, the MDS-AOS is already planning for the 5th AOPMC that will be held in Manila, Philippines, March 11-13, 2016. The scientific committee, led by Prof Raymond Rosales and the local organizing committee, led by Dr. Dominic Jamora, together with the MDS Secretariat have commenced work for this meeting.
In addition, a Deep Brain Stimulation Course for Movement Disorders was held March 13-14, 2015 in Seoul Korea under the leadership of Prof. Beom Jeon, as well as the China Continuing Education Classes for Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders in Hangzhou, China on April 11-12, 2015, under the leadership of Baorong Zhang. We look forward to the 2nd Middle East Camp for Parkinson's Disease, Movement Disorders and Neuromodulation that will take place in Dubai, UAE, on November 19-21, 2015, under the leadership of Dr. Jawad A. Bajwa,
We thank all members for your support of MDS-AOS and look forward to more exciting developments in the region for 2015.
With Best Regards,
