So let me get this straight, Chrissy Teigen gets to go onstage and hog the spotlight in her puke-yellow dress at the ESPY Awards and then Kevin Bacon is the one to go onstage and represent for "RIPD"? Why the Hell would Spikey attend this goddamned awards show if she wasn't going to be doing anything??
In case u missed it (and I'm very fuckin' sure u did), Spikey sat a few seats behind Diddy. Here's the proof:
Good job, Cartel! Great use of an ESPY invitation!
Credit goes to my HD device for withstanding 3 hours of this CRAP. Boy, am I a cranky bitch!

Marisa Miller hits the big screen Marisa Miller discusses her new film RIPD, her favorite SI Swimsuit shoots and the famous iPod picture

Marisa Miller, who appeared in seven SI Swimsuit issues (2002-08) including the 2008 cover, is set to make her big screen debut in RIPD, which opens July 19th. The film also stars Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon and Mary Louise-Parker. SwimDaily spoke with Marisa about her movie debut, transitioning from modeling to acting and the famous iPod picture.
SwimDaily: So tell me how the movie came about.
Marisa Miller: I'd been asked to come in and read for things here and there but I knew it was definitely a transition from modeling and I wanted to give it my full attention. I was sent this script and all I heard was that I basically had to embody Jeff Bridges, which to me sounded pretty far off and really complicated. But when I read the script and I got the humor, I thought it was really, really funny. I could see Ryan Reynolds' and Jeff Bridges' dynamic throughout and how funny it would be. Then I was thinking, 'this is one role I'm dying to play.' When I went in to read, it felt really natural and I'm happy it did because it can be intimidating doing your first movie with a cast like this. I was really lucky that the material was so fun.
SD: Were you a Big Lebowski fan?
MM: Oh yeah. Who isn't? One of the things I did when I was getting ready for the role is that I watched The Big Lebowski and True Grit for three days. I really tried to immerse myself in Jeff Bridges. The character is a cowboy so True Grit was pretty close to that.
SD: I see Kevin Bacon is in the movie as well. What is your favorite Kevin Bacon movie?
MM: Honestly, I think I was more intimidating to meet him because he's such a pro and I'm a huge fan of his. He's been in so many movies it's hard to pick. He was in A Few Good Men which is a great movie. He's an incredible actor.
SD: What about Footloose?
MM: I still haven't seen that movie!
SD: Was acting a tough transition from modeling?
MM: It's good that I had the swimsuit experience because I wasn't nervous in front of the camera but there's a lot going on while you're acting and you kind of want to forget the camera is there. With this role too, there's a lot of action involved and i'm pretty athletic so it was fun to play on one of my strengths and get to do my own stunts because that was a huge part of the role. That part was really fun and allowed me to use that side of myself and do some of the action.
SD: Do you have a favorite all-time movie.
MM: I was just talking to my husband about this. I think I've seen Erin Brokovich more than any other movie. That and The Break Up with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. I love that movie, too.
SD: Would you say you were more nervous on your first day shooting SI Swimsuit or shooting the film?
MM: Wow. Honestly, I'd say SI Swimsuit because that was at the very beginning of my career and I was still such a tomboy. Being in front of the camera, being in a bathing suit was all new to me. I was definitely not a girly-girl so the process was a huge stretch from my personality. I was a really shy girl back then.
SD: When you look back at Swimsuit, do any specific shoots or photos come to mind?
MM: I have so many great memories shooting for Sports Illustrated and there were so many unique shoots we did. The one shoot that was probably my favorite was the Iowa shoot because it was so fun and it was the All-American issue. It was all shot in America and way different than going to the beach so that issue was pretty special to me. And when they invited me to do the 50th annual of just Sports Illustrated and I got to recreate some of those iconic images of Christie Brinkley and Heidi Klum and even Tyra [Banks]. I had to recreate one of her pictures.
SD: The photo I get asked about most is the iPod one. Where does that rank?
MM: You know what's funny is that's the great thing when you're shooting — you don't really know what will be "the shot" that will make it in the magazine and everyone will love. When we were shooting the iPod it was really quick and one of those things where we were like, "Is this going to look weird? Is it going to be silly? is it going to look great?" We had no idea but we went for it. We probably only shot it for five minutes and I didn't really think about it until I saw that it opened the music issue. Then I called my dad and said, "Hey, can you sorta skip the beginning and go right into the middle."
SD: What are you plans for the near future?
MM: I had a baby in December so i had some reshoots for the movie right after he was born. This is my first thing back from baby is doing press for movie and I'm excited for what's to come after this.

Q&A: Marisa Miller on R.I.P.D., Playing Jeff Bridges, and Being a Sexy Mom
Supermodel Marisa Miller has posed as an Angel for Victoria's Secret and a pirate for Captain Morgan's rum. You can now add Jeff Bridges to the list. She plays The Dude's avatar in R.I.P.D. (out this weekend), her first movie role. The Sports Illustrated cover star and new mom briefed us on her costar's familiarity with her career, taking on stunts, and reviewing her work with her dad.
ESQUIRE.COM: R.I.P.D. is your first movie. It's got to be kind of a big deal for you, right?
MARISA MILLER: Yeah. I still can't believe that my first film is with such a great cast. I'm really, really excited to see it.
ESQ: You're essentially playing Jeff Bridges?
MM: Right. So, Jeff and Ryan Reynolds play cops of the underworld, so they're like ghost cops. When they're on earth people see their disguises, their avatars. I play Jeff. So instead of seeing him, you'd see me. That's where a lot of the humor in the movie comes from. It was pretty cool for me, it being my first film and being able to watch an actor like him work. A lot of it involved him doing a scene, me watching his mannerisms and the cadence in his voice, and then I'd have to step in and do the same thing. That's really intimidating when it's Jeff Bridges.
ESQ: He's a pretty unique individual. How do you even begin to mimic him?
MM: I know. It sounds really funny. But for whatever reason I really got the humor doing this movie. You had to really just go for it 100 percent. If you didn't jump right into it and go all the way, you would look silly.
ESQ: And who's the guy who's Ryan Reynolds's counterpart that you pal around with?
MM: Oh! Grandpa Chen is his character's name. It's fun seeing this kind of vamped-up version of a sexy woman and then an old Chinese guy. Us being partners was just visually funny. James Hong, he's been an actor forever. It was really cool to have him as my partner on set, because he's just a pro and he knows what he's doing. I really relied on him when we'd do scenes together. We'd just bounce stuff off of each other and he was a really great support to have.
ESQ: That's lucky to come in and have these veterans almost hold your hand through it your first time acting. Can't hurt.
MM: Absolutely.
ESQ: Were you much of a fan of Jeff Bridges before you started working with him?
MM: Oh, yeah. Who isn't a fan of Jeff Bridges? And he is such a unique character. I can't think of anybody who's quite like him. He was a lot of fun to be around, just personally.
ESQ: He's kind of a beach laid-back guy, and you kind of have that persona as well. Did you two bond at all?
MM: Definitely. He has that vibe of being super laid-back. Music is his passion. I'd get my hair and makeup done sitting next to him every morning, and he'd always have something cool playing in the trailer. It was just very, very easy to be around him.
ESQ: Do you think he was familiar with your work at all, as you were with his?
MM: I never want to know that. I did not ask him. But I was watching the HBO First Look, like the behind-the-scenes of the movie a couple days ago, and he did kind of say, "Marisa Miller," with a little wink. So. I was like, "Oh, no!" Kind of embarrassed me but yeah.
ESQ: You're doing a good amount of stunt work in this movie. Don't you get hit by a bus?
MM: It was actually a huge blessing that I got to do some of my stunts, because I'm really athletic. For that to be one of my strengths and be able to add to my character in that way, that was really helpful because it kind of made me just a little bit more confident in the role. I mean, obviously this was on a whole other level, but it was just fun. I got to be strung up on wires and go flying through the sky.
ESQ: Don't you have to be careful about getting beat up, though?
MM: Yeah. Definitely. It was actually funny how it evolved with the bus scene because, originally, I wasn't supposed to do it. Then, all of a sudden, they were like, "Hey, so you're game to do the stunt tonight?" And I hadn't heard what I was doing. But my management knows I'm crazy like that and that I ride motorcycles and I'm game. So they went ahead and said, "Yeah, she'll totally do it." But I didn't know what I was doing. The whole time leading up to the shoot, every single person that I ran into was like, "You're so brave for doing this. Thanks so much." And I was like, "What am I doing? What is this? Everyone's thanking me for being brave." What am I doing? My stunt double, she was just awesome and broke down everything for me. I think ignorance is bliss in this situation, because it is so mental and if you freak yourself out, you're gonna freak out. It was really important to just relax and pay attention to what she was telling me to do. I'm hooked up in the harness and my outfit is ridiculous to do stunts in. I'm in heels and a little dress and big hoop earrings and a push-up bra. It's the most uncomfortable thing you could be in. And she's telling me, "Make sure that when you hit the windshield you put your hands in front of your face. Because your face will hit the windshield." And I was like, "Well I hope that's a natural reaction that I'd put my hands in front of my face."
ESQ: What, you're gonna keep them at your sides the whole time?
MM: Exactly. So, she was kind of reminding me that this was real and even though everyone's got your back, at the end of the day, you got to put your hands in front of your face. That was kind of the moment where I was like, "Oh, yeah. Okay. Pay attention."
ESQ: Didn't you have a kid during filming?
MM: I shot the movie before I got pregnant and then I did some of the reshoots six weeks after I had Gavin.
ESQ: That's got to be crazy to come back.
MM: It was pretty nuts. It was like, I could either do it when I was nine months pregnant or after. [Laughs.]
ESQ: And how's it going, being a mom?
MM: Oh, it's awesome. I love it. My son, he's almost seven months now, so he's laughing and smiling and it's just the best thing ever. It's so exhausting. It's all those things you hear. It's the hardest thing you'll do, it's the best thing you'll do. That's exactly what it is. I think the hardest thing at this point is just the sleep deprivation. But being a mom and raising him is the best thing ever.
ESQ: You probably get this a lot, but do you ever think about as he grows up and seeing some of the work you've done? Has that crossed your mind yet?
MM: Oh, totally. And it will definitely play a role in what I do in the future. Or what I won't do.
ESQ: So we're going to be seeing a little more of the conservative side of Marisa Miller?
MM: Well, it will evolve a little I think. I mean, I have a close relationship with my dad and, you know, you have to laugh through things. I mean there were a lot of times when, like, Sports Illustrated would come out. My dad would talk about it for two seconds. He'd be like, "You look great, hon." Then we'd move on to what's next.
ESQ: It's gotta be awkward.
MM: Super-awkward, but at the same time we just laughed about it and moved on. I think he comes at it from the perspective that I was very athletic in high school and I've always been like a healthy person. So that's always the angle: "Looking healthy!"

Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?banned-again Jan 6, 2013 3:14 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
who cares really its in the game to use so let people use what they want we dont need another youtube video spamming the forums about it jesus you people will use any excuse to make a youtube vidoe wont you
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?FURIO Jan 6, 2013 3:17 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
I used the TF attachment on the M27 and I like it a lot. However I do feel as if it needs to have more recoil, especially on the LMGs.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?FTR94 Jan 6, 2013 3:45 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
I replied to your youtube vid but also. I have no problem with the target finder except when people use it to find me though maybe a crack of vision in a room or something similar.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?MrCoates28210 Jan 6, 2013 3:47 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
Target finder is a great attachment, the only reason I could see to hate it is that you're a sniper at the end of the map or trying to head glitch or camp far away. I used to use it but the recoil got a little too much while using it so now I just used FAL select fire & silencer
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?Skello1O Jan 6, 2013 4:25 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
The target finder is a bit unbalanced, it provides a red box around those who are not fully in view of the player, the slightest bit of player model popping out highlights the entire body. The sights blue crosshair breaks through cold blooded and lights up red. Also the sight itself promotes sit and wait tactics, it becomes a problem when the user becomes very cautious.
Also the select fire FAL is a bit OP, it has a very fast TTK and very managable recoil.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?grif77775 Jan 6, 2013 5:02 PM (in response to Skello1O)
the fal with select fire is no where near op. the rate of fire is terrible, at mid range smgs still compete and the recoil has a habbit of getting away from you when the fame rate drops. I love the fal but really it's if your inside and smgs 3-4 hit kill ranage you screwed. the fal is meant for just outside mid range but with these maps play doing that is difficult
The target finder on the other does seem to reduce recoil and does reduce sway so that so I can see why people have an issue with it, As for the red boxes, they don't help much to begin with but crosshairs changing colour (even with cold blooded) is a bit unfair.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?fantasmo Jan 6, 2013 5:19 PM (in response to grif77775)
hahaha, dude I outgun msmcs and pdws in close range with it, head to head confrontation.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?grif77775 Jan 6, 2013 5:38 PM (in response to fantasmo)
I'm not saying you caan't win a gun fight but when you use it at close quarter against any smg should expect to lose 90% of the time because it's designed for cqc. any thing past mid range and it's a beast but the maps aren't designed to let keep that distance and that why the fal is not op
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?mp7headshot Jan 6, 2013 5:10 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
Love the tf on my lmg! Mostly focusing on getting diamond camos on all weapons and max prestiges so I haven't even really experimented with the mms yet. Just started using that tf yesterday and its beast!
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?mp7headshot Jan 6, 2013 5:12 PM (in response to mp7headshot)
Btw I only have one sniper, 3 pistols, and 3 lmg's to go. Just bragging a little.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?DontBanMyAccounts Jan 6, 2013 5:10 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
it isnt nooby, i dont use it anymore, but it isnt nooby, 3 things that doesnt make nooby:
- cold blooded, it counters it well, yes it turns red when spots you, but EVERYONE using it is lazy to search you when you are using it.
- EMP nades disable it completely
- EMP Systems same as nades, if you are quick enough, they'l not have time to ADS so you get a free easy kill.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?SanAndreasPsycho Jan 6, 2013 5:28 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
In some situations, it just shows you exactly where people are across the map which is really lame. More a camper attachment than for noobs since most people can easily be seen close up.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?Rize_BHo Jan 6, 2013 5:27 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
1. Do you know what a wall hack is? In CoD4 you see them all the time. Its what cheaters do to win. What it does is puts a Box around every enemy on the map in which you can see at all times. The TF is basically a dumbed down version of that hack. see the problem??
2. Your KD doesnt mean Jack about your skill level. Since you are on here promoting the use of the TF i will make a fairly educated guess and say you constantly useds: Portable Radars, Siterep Pro, Motion Sensors, Juggernaut, etc...
3. If you were actually as good as you think you are.. you would NOT use that attachment. Nor would you ever consider making a thread to make yourself feel better about using it. if you have to ask about it, you already know the answer.
4. If you want to use it, use it. But dont try to act like your good if you are using it. (It was put in this game for players who SUCK or are new to the game to have a fighting chance, but is constantly used by kids "who think they are good" to pub stomp on the players who actually should be using it.
Love, the guy who has 2 kills using the TF in his 7 prestiges
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?DontBanMyAccounts Jan 6, 2013 5:29 PM (in response to Rize_BHo)
i dont agree with you, the TF isnt nooby, use cold blooded.
if you are going for diamonds LMG's . youll use it, you wont fool anyone.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?FTR94 Jan 6, 2013 5:35 PM (in response to DontBanMyAccounts)
First, cold blooded only gets rid of the diamond, not the blue crosshair turning red.
Second, Im going for diamond LMGs and already have two gold. No TFs used.
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?Rize_BHo Jan 6, 2013 5:36 PM (in response to DontBanMyAccounts)
i dont want to use cold blooded. Toughness is much more important.
And no i will not, i have picked up guns off the ground while only having a few bullets left in my original gun, found it had a TF and picked up my old one again... on multiple occasions. Plus i will probably never even think of going for Diamond LMGs.
I would rather take a death than use a TF. end of story
Re: Target Finder Is For Noobs?TheSurgeon83 Jan 6, 2013 5:37 PM (in response to TehSpeagles)
Like all things in the game, it's only noobish depending on how it's used. Someone camping or headglitching with it, or anything else, is noobish. I've only ever used it in LMGs to pick out targets at a distance. I used to use the thermal scope but I don't like the dual band thingy. I've not had any fan mail yet.
People can find a reason why anything is for noobs, had an angry message for dumping a Betty next to a car yesterday as I knew I wouldn't survive the multiple incoming hostiles. I died as one triggered it, car blew up and I got a triple kill. Apparently they're OP and I shouldn't use them.
The way I look at it is this, if it's there to be used, use it. It's in the game for a reason. With the benefit gained from the TF, it also has disadvantages like tunnel vision when aiming.
Having said that, overkill has always annoyed me, DSR + MO7, honestly? The secondary's are so good in this and past CODs you don't need it. But, it's there to be used I suppose.

Storm 2 at Verizon in Sept
According to a leaked planning agenda from Verizon Wireless, the carrier will get the BlackBerry 9550 smartphone -- otherwise expected to be called Storm 2 -- on September 29th, though only for corporate buyers. The document reveals the public will have access to the device on October 14th.
The 9550 is expected to replace the current 9530 Storm in the BlackBerry lineup, with an improved SurePress interface, added Wi-Fi capabilities and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The latest BlackBerry OS 5.0 should also be preloaded onto the device. Despite the dates, pricing for the Storm 2 is unknown.

Even I have this problem, so far what I have found out is to use CDO in an asp page. CDO does give the minutest details of a Calendar item. THe way to do this is to have IIS serve the asp page and the computer (rather WinNT machine) should have sufficient rights on it.
Haven't found any java solution to it. If you come accross it then let me know at email@example.com.

Council backs parking plan, strong mayor gains support, museum keeps Dr. Seuss cartoons
City Council yesterday expressed support for a barebones parking plan that would upgrade all meters to accept credit card payments and increase enforcement around the city, which should boost annual revenues. The plan does not increase rates or hours at meters, as Mayor John Cranley originally called for. It also doesn't allow people to pay for parking meters through smartphones. The plan ultimately means death for the parking privatization plan, which faced widespread criticism after the previous city administration and council passed it as a means to jumpstart new investments and help fix the city's operating budget and pension system.Councilman Christopher Smitherman plans to pursue changes to the city's political structure to give more power to the mayor and less to the city manager. Smitherman says the current system is broken because it doesn't clearly define the role of the mayor. Under Smitherman's system, the mayor would run the city and hire department heads; the city manager, who currently runs the city and handles hiring, would primarily preside over budget issues; and City Council would pass legislation and act as a check to the mayor. Smitherman aims to put the plan to voters this November.Commentary: "WCPO's Sloppy Streetcar Reporting Misses Real Concerns."The Cincinnati Art Museum maintains five political cartoons from the famed Dr. Seuss (Theodore Seuss Geisel), but none are currently on public display. The cartoons call back to the history before World War II, when most of the world played ignorant to the horrors of the Holocaust and Americans had yet to enter the war. Dr. Seuss loathed the villains on the world stage, and his cartoons promoted a message of interventionism that would eventually lead him to join the Army to help in the fight against the Axis powers. When he returned home, he would write the famous stories and books he's now so well known for.Mayor Cranley and some council members appear reluctant to accept a routine grant application that would allow the Cincinnati Health Department to open two more clinics because of the potential effect the clinics could have on the city's budget. Cranley and other council members also seem concerned that the Health Department played a role in the recent closing of Neighborhood Health Care, which shut down four clinics and three school-based programs after it lost federal funding.Ohio legislators approved a bill that forces absentee voters to submit more information and reduces the amount of time provisional voters have to confirm their identities from 10 days to one week. For Democrats, the bill adds to previous concerns that Republicans are attempting to suppress voters. The bill now goes to Gov. John Kasich, a Republican who's expected to sign the measure into law.The Ohio legislature continues wrangling over how to give schools more snow days.More than 175,000 claims have been filed over winter damage, potentially making this winter one of the costliest in decades.Robot suits could make mixed martial arts blood-free.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopezGot any news tips?

Preschool could save money, domestic partner registry coming, mayor seeks inclusion
Universal preschool could save Cincinnati $48-$69.1 million in the first two to three years by ensuring children get through school with less problems and costs to taxpayers, according to a University of Cincinnati Economics Center study. The public benefits echo findings in other cities and states, where studies found expanded preschool programs generate benefit-cost ratios ranging from 4-to-1 to 16-to-1 for society at large. For Cincinnati and preschool advocates, the question now is how the city could pay for universal preschool for the city's three- and four-year-olds. CityBeat covered universal preschool in further detail here.Cincinnati leaders intend to adopt a domestic partner registry that would grant legal recognition to same-sex couples in the city. Councilman Chris Seelbach's office says the proposal would particularly benefit gays and lesbians working at small businesses, which often don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships. Seelbach's office says the registry will have two major requirements: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency. In a motion, the mayor and a supermajority of City Council ask the city administration to structure a plan that meets the criteria; Seelbach's office expects the full proposal to come back to council in the coming months.Mayor John Cranley plans to take a sweeping approach to boosting minority inclusion in Cincinnati, including the establishment of an Office of Minority Inclusion. The proposal from Cranley asks the city administration to draft a plan for the office, benchmark inclusion best practices and identify minority- and women-owned suppliers that could reduce costs for the city. The proposal comes the week after Cranley announced city contracting goals of 12 percent for women-owned businesses and 15 percent for black-owned businesses.Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted eliminated early voting on Sundays with a directive issued yesterday. Husted's directive is just the latest effort from Republicans to reduce early voting opportunities. Democrats say the Republican plans are voter suppression, while Republicans argue the policies are needed to establish uniform early voting hours across the state and save counties money on running elections.The Butler County Common Pleas Court ruled Tuesday that the village of New Miami must stop using speed cameras. Judge Michael Sage voiced concerns about the administrative hearing process the village used to allow motorists to protest or appeal tickets.Ohio officials expect to get 106,000 Medicaid applications through HealthCare.gov.The first shark ray pups born in captivity all died at the Newport Aquarium.

Parking debate continues, mayors work to bring manufacturing, voting bills pass legislature
City Council watered down Mayor John Cranley's parking plan to just two proposals: upgrading parking meters and increased enforcement. Council and public opposition ultimately proved too much for increasing neighborhood rates and expanded evening hours at major hubs. The changes mean less revenue for the city but reduced parking costs for residents. Still, with the parking plan changing almost daily, it's unclear whether the current iteration will be the final proposal that the Neighborhood Committee and City Council ultimately pass.Compare: Cranley's original parking plan versus the parking privatization plan.Meanwhile, Xerox, the private operator that took over Cincinnati's parking meters in the parking privatization plan, proposed its own version of a parking plan in which the company manages parking meters while City Council retains control over setting hours, rates and enforcement. Xerox says its plan will generate more revenue. But Cranley rejected Xerox's plan weeks ago.Commentary: "County Should Accept Responsible Bidder Law."Cranley yesterday announced he's partnering with Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley to get a share of $1.3 billion in federal funds that would help attract manufacturing. The two cities will compete as one community for the federal Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership. The competition's 12 winners will each receive part of the $1.3 billion pot. Even if Cincinnati and Dayton don't win, Cranley said the competition will at least get them thinking about working together as a community for manufacturing jobs.The Republican-controlled Ohio legislature yesterday approved controversial election bills that reduce the state's early voting period by one week and restrict counties' abilities to mail out unsolicited absentee ballot applications. Democrats say the measures are meant to suppress voters, but Republicans argue the changes are supposed to set uniform standards across the state. At least one top Ohio Republican previously admitted the measures were supposed to suppress voters, particularly "the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine." Gov. John Kasich is now the only person that stands between the bill becoming law.The city plans to undertake a pothole-fixing blitz in March.The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority will begin its 14-neighborhood rehabilitation plan in Evanston, where the agency will target about 100 properties.With a "virtual online menu" and access to vocational education in the seventh grade, Gov.

What Is Cranley's Parking Plan?
Proposal could increase parking enforcement, hours and rates
Mayor John Cranley on Feb. 12 officially unveiled his plan for Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages, providing the first clear option for the city's parking system since the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority agreed to halt the previous plan. The proposal seeks to effectively replace the previous administration's parking privatization plan, which outsourced the city's parking assets to the Port Authority and several private companies, and maintain local control of the city's parking assets.Here's a breakdown of the plan and all its finer details. What is Cranley's parking plan? It's a plan for Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages. More specifically, Cranley calls his proposal a "framework" that focuses on upgrading the city's parking meters and keeps City Council's control of parking rates and hours. Cranley's plan, based on a Feb. 7 memo from Walker Parking Consultants, achieves his goals in a few ways: • The city would issue bonds, backed by future parking revenues, to upgrade all parking meters to accept credit card payments. • The amount of enforcement officers under the city's payroll would increase to 15, up from five, to provide greater coverage of the city's parking meters. (Currently, a few areas, including major hubs like the University of Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine, are effectively unenforced for two to five hours a day, according to Walker.) • Neighborhood meter rates would go up by 25 cents to 75 cents an hour. Downtown rates would remain at $2 an hour. • Sundays and holidays remain free. Cranley says the underlying idea is to maintain a few key principles, particularly local control over rates and hours. He cautions Walker's proposal, including expanded enforcement hours, could change with public input and as City Council puts together the final plan.Does the plan let people use smartphones to pay for parking meters? No. Cranley says the upgraded meters will support the technology, but it will be up to council to decide whether it's enabled in the future. Smartphone capability is a double-edged sword: It introduces its own set of costs, including shorter battery life for meters. It also allows customers to avoid under- and overpaying at parking meters, which decreases citation and meter revenues. But smartphone access also increases ease of use, which could lead to higher revenues by making it easier to pay. The parking privatization plan promised to provide smartphone access at all parking meters. The previous administration and Port Authority championed the feature as key to increasing convenience and revenue. OK, that explains the parking meters. What about the parking garages? Cranley's plan makes two changes to garages: • The Port Authority would take over Fountain Square South Garage. The Port would be required to cover expenses for the garage, but any net revenue could be used on projects within the city. • The city would issue bonds, backed by future parking revenues, to build a garage at 7th and Broadway streets. Otherwise, things remain the same as today. In other words, the city would be on the hook for parking garage repairs and upgrades, which Walker estimates would cost roughly $8 million in capital expenses over the next five years.But the city would also continue directly receiving around $2 million per year in net revenue from parking garages, according to Walker. Still, the city isn't allowed under state law to use the revenue from parking garages for anything outside the parking system.The parking privatization plan tried to do away with the restriction by putting the Port Authority in charge of garages. State law allows agencies like the Port to tap into garage revenues for other uses, such as development projects.But without the previous administration's plan, Cranley claims the Port Authority declined to take over more facilities beyond Fountain Square South Garage. Given the rejection, Cranley says it's up to council to figure out another way to leverage garage revenues beyond putting them back in the parking system.What does Cranley's plan do about the thousands of parking tickets already owed to the city? Nothing. By Cranley's own admission, the city needs to do a better job collecting what it's owed. But he says that's something City Council will have to deal with in the future. So why did Cranley oppose the parking privatization plan? Cranley vehemently opposed giving up local control of the city's parking assets. He warned that outsourcing meters to the Port Authority and private companies would create a for-profit incentive to ratchet up parking rates and enforcement. The previous administration disputed Cranley's warnings. They pointed out an advisory board, chaired by four Port Authority appointees and one city appointee, would need to unanimously agree on rate and hour changes, and the changes could be vetoed by the city manager.Without any changes from the advisory board, the 30-year privatization plan hiked downtown parking meter rates by 25 cents every three years and neighborhood rates by 25 cents every six years. The plan also expanded enforcement hours to 8 a.m.-9 p.m. in Over-the-Rhine and parts of downtown. Still, City Council would lose its control of rates and hours under the privatization plan. Cranley and other opponents argued the outsourcing scheme could insulate the parking system from public — and voter — input. Cranley also opposed the privatization plan's financial arrangement. Under the old deal, the city would receive a lump sum of $85 million and annual installments of $3 million, as long as required expenses, such as costly garage upgrades or repairs, were met.In comparison, the city currently gets roughly $3 million in net revenue from parking meters and another $2 million in net revenue from parking garages. (As noted earlier, the parking garage revenue can only be used for parking expenses.) Cranley characterizes the lump sum as "borrowing from the future" because it uses upfront money that could instead be taken in by the city as annual revenue.Related: Compare Cranley's plan with the parking privatization plan. Why does Cranley think his proposal is necessary? It solidifies the death of the parking privatization plan. That's important to begin the process of legally dismantling the previous plan.The plan also increases net parking meter revenues from roughly $3 million to $6 million in the next budget year and more than $7 million per year within five years, according to Walker's original estimates. (The estimates are likely too high because they assumed evening hours would expand around the University of Cincinnati, Short Vine in Corryville, Over-the-Rhine and downtown. But Cranley shelved the expansion of hours, with no estimates for how the changes will affect revenues.)Since parking meter revenue, unlike garage revenue, can be used for non-parking expenses, the extra revenue could help plug the $20 million gap in the $370 million operating budget.Why do some people oppose Cranley's plan? Some people supported the parking privatization plan. They saw the lump sum as a great opportunity to invest in development projects around the city. Without the lump sum, critics claim Cranley's plan accepts all the pain of the previous plan — increased enforcement, rates and hours — for very little gain, even though the city would get more annual revenue and upgraded parking meters and garages. Politics are also involved. After the contentious streetcar debate, there's not much Cranley can do without some critics speaking out. When will Cranley's plan go into effect? City Council first has to approve Cranley's plan for it to become law. Council will likely take up and debate the plan at the Neighborhood Committee on Feb. 24 and set a more concrete timeline after that.This blog post will be regularly updated as more information becomes available. Latest update: Feb. 19.

State plans for fracking in parks, mayor to help Obamacare, airport's flood levee decertified
Gov. John Kasich's administration in 2012 privately discussed a public relations campaign to help bring fracking to three state parks. The plan was apparently abandoned. But ProgressOhio, which released documents showing the discussions, says the plan highlights a trend in the Kasich administration of looking out for business interests first. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. In the past couple years, the technique has been credited with bringing about a natural gas production boom in much of the United States, including Ohio. But environmentalists worry the poorly regulated practice contaminates air and water. CityBeat covered fracking in greater detail here.Mayor John Cranley and Enroll America today plan to announce a partnership to get people enrolled in Obamacare. The goal is to fill the insurance pool with healthier, younger enrollees, many of whom qualify for financial assistance through HealthCare.gov, to help keep costs down. CityBeat previously interviewed Trey Daly, Ohio director of Enroll America, about the outreach efforts here.The two Republicans in charge of City Council's Budget and Finance Committee want to know why the city decertified a flood levee surrounding Lunken Airport, instead of bringing it up to federal standards, without consulting City Council. The decertification forced property owners around the airport to buy costly flood insurance. City officials say they made the decision because the city did not have the $20-$100 million it would cost to bring the levee up to standards.The W. Va. chemical spill cost Greater Cincinnati Water Works about $26,000 in treatment chemicals, or about 11 cents per customer.Getting ex-prisoners enrolled in Medicaid as they are released could save Ohio nearly $18 million this year, according to state officials.Duke Energy plans to sell 13 power plants, including 11 in Ohio. The company says the move is necessary because of the state's increasingly unpredictable regulatory environment for electricity generators. Last week, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio rejected Duke's request for a $729 million rate increase.With algorithms now capable of breaking CAPTCHA 90 percent of the time, companies might need to find other anti-spam protections.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopezGot any news tips?

Parking plan targets budget, GOP could restrict early voting, e-cigarette bill advances
Mayor John Cranley says his parking plan intends to alleviate Cincinnati's ongoing budget woes by increasing parking revenue, but the plan will need approval from a majority of City Council to become law. The plan wouldn't increase parking meter rates downtown, but it would increase neighborhood rates by 25 cents to 75 cents an hour. The plan would also increase enforcement at parking meters, which could lead to more tickets, and extend enforcement hours to 9 p.m. around the University of Cincinnati, Short Vine in Corryville, Over-the-Rhine and downtown. But the plan would not give control of the city's parking meter rates and hours to outside entities, like the parking privatization plan did. Cranley plans to send the proposal to the Neighborhood Committee, with a full council vote possible in two weeks.An Ohio House committee yesterday cleared a pair of controversial election bills that would reduce the state's early voting period by one week — effectively eliminating a "Golden Week" in which voters can register and vote at the same time — and restrict counties' abilities to mail out absentee ballot applications. The bills wouldn't go into effect until after the May 6 primary. Democrats say the bills are blatant attempts at voter suppression, but Republicans, some of whom acknowledge they politically benefit from reduced access to voting, say the reform is necessary to eliminate voting disparities between urban and rural counties. The bills still need approval from the Republican-controlled Ohio House and Republican Gov. John Kasich to become law.A bill placing age requirements on electronic cigarettes yesterday passed an Ohio Senate committee. Critics of the bill argue it doesn't go far enough because it puts e-cigarettes in a different category than tobacco, which exempts e-cigarettes from higher taxes and stricter regulations even though they contain addictive substances and potential health risks.

Another LGBT battle could reach court, Cranley crafts parking plan, fracking tax bill revised
A federal court in Cincinnati could soon decide whether married same-sex parents should be recognized by Ohio on their children's birth certificates. Civil rights attorney Alphonse Gerhardstein filed the lawsuit on behalf of four same-sex couples who married outside the state and an adoption agency that helped one of the couples adopt a child in Ohio. The lawsuit argues leaving one parent unnamed perpetuates harmful social stigmas and potentially endangers a child's life by making it more difficult for a parent to get his child help in case of emergencies. Although opponents of LGBT rights argue allowing gay couples to adopt hurts children, the research suggests widespread discrimination and same-sex parents' limited rights are the real threats to gay couples' sons and daughters.Mayor John Cranley is crafting a new plan to upgrade Cincinnati's parking system while retaining local control. Under the drafted plan analyzed by The Business Courier, the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority would issue $25 million in bonds backed by parking revenues. To pay for the new costs, parking meter rates in neighborhoods — but not downtown — would increase by 25 cents per hour to 75 cents per hour, and the city would hire more officers to increase enforcement. The new parking meters would take credit card payments, but smartphone payments currently aren't in the plan.A revised version of the Ohio House's fracking tax bill increases the severance tax on oil and gas companies but cuts the income tax more and directs funding to areas most affected by the state's oil and gas boom. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Following its widespread adoption, the United States, including Ohio, began pumping out natural gas at record levels. But critics worry the technique could pollute and contaminate surrounding air and water resources.

City plans to add firefighters, abortion clinics under threat, Kasich gets union supporters
Mayor John Cranley yesterday announced a plan to add another recruit class to the Cincinnati Fire Department and effectively eliminate brownouts, but it remains unclear how the class will be paid for in the long-term. The Fire Department applied for a federal grant that would cover the costs for two years, but the city would need to pay for the new firefighters' salaries after that. To some City Council members, the proposal, along with other plans to add more police recruits and fund a jobs program for the long-term unemployed, raises questions about what will get cut in the budget to pay for the new costs.Gov. John Kasich's administration has led an aggressive effort to shut down abortion clinics around the state, and a clinic in Sharonville, Ohio, could be the next to close after the administration denied a request that would have allowed the clinic to stay open without an emergency patient transfer agreement. The process has apparently involved high-ranking officials in the Ohio Department of Health, which one regulator says is unusual. The threat to the Sharonville clinic follows the passage of several new anti-abortion regulations through the latest state budget, but state officials say the new regulations were unnecessary to deny the Sharonville clinic's request to stay open.Unions broadly support Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald's campaign, but at least one union-funded group, Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT) Ohio, seems to be throwing its weight behind Kasich, a Republican. The surprising revelation shows not every union group has kept a grudge against Kasich and other Republicans after they tried to limit public employees' collective bargaining rights through Senate Bill 5 in 2011. ACT Ohio says its support for Kasich is related to jobs, particularly Kasich's support for infrastructure projects. The jobs market actually stagnated after Kasich took office, which some political scientists say could cost Kasich his re-election bid even though economists say the governor isn't to blame.Talk of tolls continues threatening the $2.65 billion Brent Spence Bridge project as opposition from Northern Kentuckians remains strong. Ohio and Kentucky officials insist tolls are necessary to replace the supposedly dangerous bridge because the federal government doesn't seem willing to pick up the tab.

New parking deal soon, warden denies botched execution, fracking tax bill under works
Mayor John Cranley appears to be working on another parking deal to upgrade Cincinnati's parking meters, although the mayor's office says this plan won't give up control of the city's parking meters to a private entity. At the same time, it seems the deal won't produce a large lump-sum like the defunct parking privatization plan did. Cranley and other opponents of the old parking plan have long said that, even without privatization, the city's parking meters need to be upgraded to accept credit card payments, among other modern features.The warden who oversaw Dennis McGuire's 26-minute, seemingly painful execution says it went "very well." The execution, the longest since Ohio restarted use of the death penalty in 1999, drew international attention, particularly because many blamed the long time to kill on the state's use of a cocktail of drugs never tried before in the United States. The warden's statements essentially reject those concerns. Still, state officials say they're conducting a third review of McGuire's execution in particular, which is apparently uncommon. CityBeat covered the execution in further detail here.An Ohio House bill could boost funding to local governments affected by the fracking boom by hiking the severance tax on oil and gas companies. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Its widespread use has spurred an economic boom across the country, including northeast Ohio. While it's boosted the overall economy, it's also raised environmental and displacement concerns, particularly in areas where the boom is most active. CityBeat covered the fracking boom in further detail here.In response to complaints about slow snow plowing, the city tweeted, "We've got 2,800+ lane miles to clear. It's going to take some time.

According to those typical anonymous industry sources, Chinese and other international handset makers are set to join Samsung, HTC and LG in manufacturing LTE enabled smartphones for the European market. The trio are currently on the top of the charts in Europe for sales of LTE enabled smartphones. Carriers in Germany and Northern Europe are the only ones in the region to focus on selling smartphones that support LTE. Operators elsewhere on the continent are more interested in selling accessories such as LTE data cards or mobile hotspots instead of selling the actual handsets.
27 million users were connected to an LTE pipeline with their smartphone during the second quarter of the year. Of that number, 47% were in the U.S., 27% in South Korea, 13% in Japan and 6% in Europe according to data from Wireless Intelligence.
Those selling LTE enabled smartphones in Northern Europe have been finding demand for the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE. In Germany, Vodafone has released the HTC Velocity 4G, HTC One XL, Samsung Galaxy S II LTE and the LG Optimus True HD LTE. Germany's Deutsche Telekom has the HTC One XL and the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE in its lineup.

[UPDATED with Guilty Plea:] Christian Trinidad Gonzalez, Young Father, Accused of Murdering His Baby by Throwing and Shaking Her
Categories: Crime-iny
During the sixth day of his trial, and in the middle of cross-examination of his own testimony, Gonzalez asked to speak with his attorney. The defendant then changed his plea of not guilty to guilty of one count of second-degree murder.
The judge immediately sentenced Gonzalez to 15 years to life in a state prison.
Before he changed his plea, he was looking at the possibility of 25 years to life.
Christian Trinidad Gonzalez could get 25 years to life in state prison if convicted of the charges pending against him at the Santa Ana courthouse.
According to prosecutors, Gonzalez returned home from work and sat down for dinner with his family on March 17, 2009. After dinner, Gonzalez's wife took their 2-year-old daughter to the apartment complex's laundry room while the father stayed behind to watch their 2-month-old daughter, Iliana Gonzalez.
Apparently frustrated by Iliana's crying, Christian Gonzalez is accused of violently throwing her onto a couch and then shaking Iliana her after realizing she was not breathing.
She was rushed to St. Joseph Hospital of Orange, where doctors contacted police after finding the baby suffered "abusive head trauma, including significant bleeding inside her head, severe retinal hemorrhages in both eyes, and brain swelling," according to the Orange County District Attorney's office.
Iliana, who never regained consciousness, was kept on ventilators for two days before being declared dead two days after the shaking.
Her father was slapped with one felony count of murder and one felony count of assault on a child with force likely to produce great bodily injury resulting in death. Senior Deputy District Attorney Steve McGreevy of the Homicide Unit is trying to make those charges stick today at the Central Justice Center.

Design television. Love it or hate it (or both), television programming has given the average viewer the sense that they can, in fact, do it themselves. Sometimes in a day and under $200. While this can often complicate the expectations between client and designer, I would imagine it has liberated a few folks to give it a go. That's not altogether a bad thing.
Philippe Starck's Ghost Chair was mentioned more than any other single thing. The marriage of traditional design with a modern composition set it apart as an icon of the turn of the century. (In this little poll, anyway.) This mix of high and low, old and new, was also noted as a significant movement of the last twenty years.

Upcoming Workshop: Vegetation Databases and the Development of the National Vegetation Classification
Panel Member Dave Roberts has organized a workshop on the NVC and Vegetation Databases at this year's ESA meeting in Minneapolis, MN. The workshop will be held on Sunday, August 4, 2013: 8:00 AM-5:00 PM. The registration fee is $25, and workshop participants should meet at the convention center at 7:15 am. Co-organizers include: Daniel S. Wovcha , Norman E. Aaseng , Michael Lee , Tom Philippi and Scott R. Abella The official workshop description is below, and there is still space available! We hope to see you there….. The National Vegetation Classification (NVC) is an hierarchical classification system of all natural or semi-natural vegetation in the United States widely used by federal and state conservation agencies, NGOs, and practicing vegetation ecologists. The NVC is a process standard, as opposed to a content standard, and employs a peer-review system for development and modification. All proposed additions or modifications require the submission of a monograph with vegetation analyses on publicly available vegetation data. These data currently reside in a multitude of dispersed databases hosted by state and federal agencies, NGOs, and universities. In this workshop participants will learn the skills necessary to (1) query vegetation data from multiple sources, (2) reconcile the synonymy of species identifications in the data into a single commonly accepted system, (3) combine data from multiple strata or ecologically equivalent species, (4) reconcile and standardize environmental data, and (5) prepare the data for analysis in PC-Ord or R. Participants will work hands-on with multiple vegetation data sets selected for this exercise, and learn how to use R, Excel, or Access to reformat, reclassify, and structure the data into files suitable for analysis. We will address ecological issues of plot data quality, variable plot sizes, variability in taxonomic resolution, differing species abundance codes, different systems of landforms, topographic position, and soil properties, among others. Participants will leave the workshop with a full understanding of both the ecological and technical details necessary to work with publicly available data in support of the...Read More

Thumbs up to Mayor Goodman
This is one time what happenes in Vegas should not stay in Vegas. This should get out.
President O is in Las Vegas to attend a town hall meeting this morning. The prez sent an invitiation to LV Mayor Oscar Goodman to attend his puff party. Mayor Goodman refused. He told ktnv-tv he had more important things to do and is obviously still miffed that O not once but twice used casino central as an example of where people should NOT go when they're trying to save money. LV of course relies on the tourist trade heavily and honestly didn't need the commander in chief to encourage people to stay away. Maybe the mayor didn't want Obama to bow down to him. O does that – a lot.
I'm reminded of the movie "the Right Stuff". Lyndon Johnson's character wants to go in John Glenn's home and meet with Glenn's wife ( who stutters) , bringing with him a film crew. But the wife says no. Who would dare rebuff a political bigwig? Glenn backs her up on this and so Johnson is rebuffed.
Mayor Goodman says he's just looking for an apology, something he has not received up to this point. Now, that apology could come in the next few hours and the mayor could show up. However it should come as a warning to O that, Nobel or not , bigwig or not, he too can be rebuffed and if he continues to say and do stupid stuff his RSVP's will not be returned.
(In trying to ascertain what side of the fence the mayor leans, it appears he may be a former dem turned indy. Not sure how he is on other issues for LV, only constituents in Vegas can say, but I think he's right on this message. )

Not only did i know no one, but i had to face the cafeteria
holding a lime green pack of ice to my head. I tried to make it
look as casual as possible, but it was hard to do with a huge bag
of ice glued to your fore-head. I shuffled through the cafeteria
feeling so many pairs of eyes stare at me. I urgently looked for
an empty seat,but it seemed like the cafe was packed solid. My
eyes flashed to an empty�seat where the girl i recognized as CeCe
sat. I gratefully put down my tray of food.
"Hi CeCe!," i exclaimed. She shot her head up and looked at me warily than went back to writing in her calculus text book.
"Hello Casey," she muttered. She pushed her own tray of food away from mine,scooting her seat over an inch. I squinted at her. Did i smell? i casually smelt under my shirt. Nope. I shrugged it off. Maybe i was being paranoyed. Yeah,i was, i decided, gulping down my carton of milk.�
"So what courses are you taking?" I asked,trying to make some small talk.
"Calculus.Drama.." she muttered something untelligible after she said drama.
"Oh so you are into drama?" i asked anxiously. We were finally talking.
"Yeah i am.." She responded. Another girl with purple hair joined us.
"Hey im Heather.Who are you?" She asked,shoving a burger in her mouth. Before i could answer CeCe answered,"Casey Martsin." She said stressing the word Martsin and widening her eyes. The purple haired girl widened her eyes in response. She thrust a lace gloved hand�and grabbed CeCe hand.
"Uh..lets go sit with Katrina over there CeCe." Heather exclaimed leaving before CeCe could respond. CeCe followed before i could react. Out of the corner of my eye i saw Macey laughing hysterically with her immense crowd of friends at the largest table at the center of the cafe.
Whatever was going on , i knew Macey had to do with it.

- obatoclax mesylate
The mesylate salt of obatoclax, a synthetic small-molecule inhibitor of the bcl-2 family of proteins with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Obatoclax binds to members of the Bcl-2 protein family, preventing the binding of these anti-apoptotic proteins to the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak and so promoting the activation of the apoptotic pathway in Bcl-2-overexpressing cells. The Bcl-2 family of proteins (bcl-2, bcl-xl, bcl-w, and Mcl-1) are overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers, including those of the lymphatic system, breast, lung, prostate, and colon. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
