Article: Homocysteine and Cytosolic GSH Depletion Induce Apoptosis and Oxidative Toxicity Through Cytosolic Calcium Overload in Hippocampus of Aged Mice: Involvement of TRPM2 and TRPV1 Channels.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress and apoptosis were induced in neuronal cultures by inhibition of glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis with D,L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO). TRPM2 and TRPV1 cation channels are gated by oxidative stress. The oxidant effects of homocysteine (Hcy) may induce activation of TRPV1 and TRPM2 channels in aged mice as a model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We tested the effects of Hcy, BSO and GSH on oxidative stress, apoptosis and Ca(2+) and influx via TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels in hippocampus of mice. Native mice hippocampus neurons were divided into 5 groups as follows; control, Hcy, BSO, Hcy+BSO and Hcy+BSO+GSH groups. The neurons in TRPM2 and TRPV1 experiments were stimulated by hydrogen peroxide and capsaicin, respectively. BSO and Hcy incubations increased intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations, reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, mitochondrial depolarization, and levels of caspase 3 and 9. All of these increases were reduced by GSH treatments. Treatment with 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borate (2-APB) and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA) as potent inhibitors of TRPM2, capsazepine as a potent inhibitor of TRPV1, verapamil+diltiazem (V+D) as inhibitors of the voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (VGCC) and MK-801 as a NMDA channel antagonist indicated that GSH depletion and Hcy elevation activated Ca(2+) entry into the neurons through TRPM2, TRPV1, VGCC and NMDA channels., Inhibitor roles of 2-APB and capsazepine on the Ca(2+) entry higher than in V+D and MK-801 antagonists. In conclusion, these findings support the idea that GSH depletion and Hcy elevation can have damaging effects on hippocampal neurons by perturbing calcium homeostasis, mainly through TRPM2 and TRPV1 channels. GSH treatment can partially reverse these effects.
Article: Non-Ionic Contrast Media Induces Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis Through Ca2+ Influx in Human Neutrophils[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Non-ionic contrast media (CM) can induce tissue kidney injury via activation of phagocytosis and oxidative stress, although the mechanisms of injury via neutrophils are not clear. We investigated the effects of CM on oxidative stress and Ca(2+) concentrations in serum and neutrophils of humans. Ten migraine patients were used in the study. Serum and neutrophil samples from patients' peripheral blood were obtained before (control) and 30 min after non-ionic (iopromide) CM injection. The neutrophils were incubated with non specific transient receptor potential 2 (TRPM2) channel blocker, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), and voltage gated Ca(2+) channel blockers, verapamil plus diltiazem. Serum and neutrophil lipid peroxidation, apoptosis and intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations levels were higher in the CM group than in controls. The neutrophilic reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels as well as serum vitamin E and β-carotene concentrations were lower in the CM group than in controls. Neutrophil lipid peroxidation levels were lower in the CM+2-APB and CM+verapamil-diltiazem groups than in the CM group, although GSH, GSH-Px and intracellular Ca(2+) values increased in the CM+2-APB and CM+verapamil-diltiazem groups. However, caspase-3, caspase-9, vitamin A and vitamin C values were unaltered by CM treatment. In conclusion, we observed that CM induced oxidative stress and Ca(2+) influx by decreasing vitamin E, β-carotene and Ca(2+) release levels in human serum and neutrophils. However, we observed protective effects of Ca(2+) channel blockers on Ca(2+) influx in neutrophils.
Article: Acamprosate Modulates Alcohol-Induced Hippocampal NMDA Receptors and Brain Microsomal Ca2+-ATPase but Induces Oxidative Stress in Rat[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the effects of acamprosate on alcohol-induced oxidative toxicity, microsomal membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (MMCA) activity and N-methyl-D: -aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits in rat brain. Forty male rats were equally divided into four groups. The first group was used as control, and the second group received ethanol. Acamprosate and acamprosate plus ethanol each day were administered to rats constituting the third and fourth groups for 21 days, respectively. Brain cortical and hippocampal samples were taken from the four groups after 21 days. Brain cortical lipid peroxidation (LP) levels and MMCA activity were higher in the alcohol group than in control, although glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene values were lower in the alcohol group than in control. LP levels were further increased in the acamprosate and alcohol + acamprosate groups compared with the alcohol group. GSH-Px, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene in the acamprosate and alcohol + acamprosate groups were further decreased compared with the alcohol group. Hippocampal NMDAR 2A and 2B subunit concentrations were lower in the alcohol group than in control, although they were increased by acamprosate and alcohol + acamprosate. Brain cortical MMCA activity was higher in the acamprosate group than in the alcohol-treated rats, although its activity was lower in the alcohol + acamprosate group than in the acamprosate group. Brain cortical reduced glutathione levels were not found to be statistically different in any of the groups. Oxidative stress has been proposed to explain the biological side effects of experimental alcohol intake. Acamprosate and alcohol-induced oxidative stress decreased brain antioxidant vitamins in the alcoholic rats.
Article: Melatonin Modulates Hippocampus NMDA Receptors, Blood and Brain Oxidative Stress Levels in Ovariectomized Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the effects of melatonin administration on ovariectomy-induced oxidative toxicity and N-methyl-D: -aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits in the blood of rats. Thirty-two rats were studied in three groups. The first and second groups were control and ovariectomized rats. Melatonin was daily administrated to the ovariectomized rats in the third group for 30 days. Blood, brain cortical and hippocampal samples were taken from the three groups after 30 days. Brain cortical, erythrocyte and plasma lipid peroxidation (LP) levels were higher in the ovariectomized group than in controls, although the LP level was decreased in the ovariectomized group with melatonin treatment. Brain cortical and plasma concentrations of vitamins A, C and E as well as the NMDAR 2B subunit were lower in the ovariectomized group than in controls, although, except for plasma vitamin C, they were increased by the treatment. Brain cortical and erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were lower in the ovariectomized group than in controls, although erythrocyte GSH levels were higher in the melatonin group than in the ovariectomized group. Brain cortical and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity and NMDAR 2A subunit concentrations were not found to be different in all groups statistically. Oxidative stress has been proposed to explain the biological side effect of experimental menopause. Melatonin prevents experimental menopause-induced oxidative stress to strengthen antioxidant vitamin and NMDAR 2A subunit concentrations in ovariectomized rats.

I interviewed Mick Jagger the other day in advance of the Rolling Stones' 50 & Counting tour which comes to the Wells Fargo Center on June 18 and 21. Click here to read all about it in the Sunday Inquirer A & E section.
At the start, I asked him about a subject I figured an Englishman of wealth and taste such as he would be bound to have on his mind: former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who died just a day before we spoke.
"It's big in the English press." said Sir Mick, speaking from somewhere in the West Indies, where he was doing prep work for the tour. "It's everywhere. If you're not there, which I'm not, you don't really know what the mood is really. So the press refects the mood, and as you're press of course you would say it accurately reflects the mood. Really accurately, right?"
He chuckles, after getting the laugh he was looking for.
"But I'm not sure because there's quite a lot of negative things out there. The odd street party celebrating her death."
It's a bit unseemly, you think?
"Slightly, yes. I mean people can say what they like, but a street party? I thought that was a bit much. But I mean, you know, she is certainly a polarizing figure in English domestic policy. But she did make her mark. There's no question about that. And because she was around for so long, people from other countries, when a statesman, if you want to call her that, a stateswoman, people rather like them being around for a long time. They don't have to learn the new name, know what I mean? It's sort of familiar: She's there, and she stands for this. We know who she is. So I think people rather like that. They don't have to deal with the Thatcher domestic policies.'

Review: Only got the main dish here once and it was so-so. The soup and salad combo is amazing however. The soup especially is great. The queueing is also a pain and it is difficult to read the menu; very confusing the first time! Oh, and the bathrooms are not pleasent. Certainly not the best veg cuisine in the world but probably the best in Dublin

If only Data wasn't such an asshole and didn't lack social skills I would have faith in SGO, or rather, in Data. Though I do wish you good luck and I hope that you will succeed I just don't think Data will be fit for this kind of project. Also, judging from his past he seems to have lots of issues with large projects and is likely to rage-quit sooner or later.
You probably won't remember me I don't think we ever talked when I played SGO so what happened is the game dead ?
Hey James,

posted 7 years ago
I'm so happy to have this product. We just got it about a week ago but it's awesome. I have two cats and this saves me a lot of work and because it is constantly cleaning I don't have to worry about being knocked out by smells when I come home - either from the cats or from my husband who doesn't clean the box but just sprays lots of "air fresheners"!
Pros: yeah! A clean litter box!
Cons: none

My Cat Loves This!!!
posted 5 years ago
My cat loves this!!! He uses the LitterMaid and waits for the automatic raking!! The only drawbacks to me are that there is litter in the grooves and on the floor...I am constantly sweeping litter from the front and the sides...and number two is that for some reason my cat steps on the lid on his way out and it disconnects from the top and when it does its thing the lid is in the way and the clumps miss the receptacle and what a mess I have!!! Besides this...We love it!!!
Pros: No more scooping
Cons: Keeping litter in box and keeping the receptacle lid on

I just got one of these a week ago and so far I love it. We have 6 cats, so there is a LOT of waste in the litter boxes. I have gone from scooping several times a day to just emptying the waste recepticle once a day. My only complaint is that it leaves some of the waste behind after it raked through the litter, but only a few little chunks. I think getting a faster clumping litter would solve this problem. I think I will buy another!
Pros: automatic, not too noisy
Cons: leaves some waste behind after it scoops

Good product
posted 7 years ago
This product is great for the busy person. I dont have time to scoop the litter box everyday and this allows me the luxury to do just that. I dont have to worry about the mess building up in the pan. The kitties always have a fresh box to use. The sides arent very high so the cats do get litter everywhere which is the biggest drawback.
Pros: Easy
Cons: Kinda Messy

Hi Corky.
Is image capture a software program or is it a command in aperture?
are you indicating this is a kind of a hack in case I can't get the sync/not sync issue worked out.
CorkyO2 May 16, 2011 9:17 PM
in response to hotwheels 22 Solved
It is a program in the Applications folder (included with all OS X installations).
Launching it with the iPhone connected will allow you to select the iPhone in the left-hand devices pane and will display the images on the iPhone in the main pane at right. You can then copy the images to a folder (say on the desktop) which can subsequently be imported into Aperture or used as you like.
Not a hack. The only hack you will face is trying to sync your iPhone on a second computer (as it is tied to one computer). As a long time PC power user, I would suggest refraining from hacks as they take too much work in the long run.

oh. holy cow.
what does this bad boy do? it allows me to easily connect to my iphone, digital camera or whatever?
anything else?
i see my all in one desket shows up as shared but i can't imagine what i would do with it.
can i take a peek in my ipod mini or even drop some information on there corky?
while i am at it - i am going overseas and may not want to have access to my Dropbox account on the iphone because I will be paying crazy connection charges.
yesterday i was wondering if there was a way to use my iphone more like a hard drive and actually drop pdf's or jpgs or whatever on it so that I could read and or open them (still can't believe i can't edit my pages docs on this phone) - anyway, would I put info permanently on the phone by going through iTunes somehow or is there an easier way to just drag and drop it on that would allow me to retrieve it easily...without accessing the cloud of course.

Image Capture deals with image files, so no go transfer of non-image file types. But it will work with a digital camera if needed. I believe it was the original (or one of the original) Mac image importers.
As far as other options outside of iTunes for getting files onto the iPhone, your kind of stuck with a cloud based system (e.g., iDisk if you have MobileMe, which allows transfer of PDF files). I have not checked on anything from Google, but there is probably something cloud based on that path as well.
Overseas, your best bet will be free wi-fi (at hotels, cafes, etc.) and the cloud.

Hi Corky.
Thanks. Do you mind if I follow up on this even though tangential to the post? I've seen your name a bit and have an idea about your level of technical expertise...
At+T seems to be not very good at giving me accurate information about billing (go figure) and I can't quite figure out if I am going to be billed for messages left on my voicemail, incoming text/images and any iCal/Contacts/Bookmark syncs while I am traveling.
Do you know if I need to turn on Cellular and turn on Roaming in order to access WiFi overseas? And if so, won't that put me at risk of running up a huge bill (even if I don't get on the internet while not connected to WiFi)? I don't get how this is supposed to work. If I walk around in airplane mode the whole time, it seems like I won't be able to accept a "local" call or make a "local" call if I need to. I mean, I guess I am dialing the local area code when I call out, and obviously I can answer or not answer a call at my choosing but I can't figure out billing for the above not to mention how (visual?) voicemail is supposed to work or not work while overseas.
Visual Voicemail is supposed to be traveling over regular network (not WiFi) as are all the other items (I think) but if I have the phone on to receive calls doesn't that mean it is going to try and sync everything?
Also, since Dropbox and MobileMe only give me access to information when connected to the cloud (that's correct, yes?) if I am travelling and have uploaded a map to get somewhere on my phone I am out of luck if I am driving and don't have access to WiFi, no?

The following will prevent roaming charges when accessing Wi Fi UK:
• If applicable, remove the International Long Distance and International Roaming features from your plan. This requires a call to your mobile service provider (probably AT&T).
• Have the phone in airplane mode
• Disable the 3G and Cellular Data
• Data roaming should be turned off
• Enable WiFi
• Turn off any automatic pushing. This prevents emails from being pushed to your phone.
• Turn off any automatic app updates
I don't use Skype, but many like using that service for making phone calls via the net (you'll want to check the details on their site).
I just purchased a phone card and used land-lines for phone calls that were not included in the hotel services.
Note - I made sure that I was connecting to the hotel or cafe wi-fi hotspot that was either free or cheap and did all my work in the Safari browser.
As far as any voicemails, text/images, etc.; I believe anything outside the browser connected in wi-fi above would accrue International roaming charges.
Connecting to MobileMe via the Safari browser in wi-fi allows iDisk access (I don't use DropBox, so not sure on that one).
Basic advice is therefore; (1) stay within the browser with iPhone settings set as listed above for low cost option, or (2) get a temporary package from AT&T to allow you to predict your costs.

OK treats, good cause
posted 7 years ago
A portion of the proceeds on these treats goes toward the Petco Foundation. I like that. The treats themselves are not a big hit. The dogs will eat them but are not excited over these treats. They seem dry and I doubt have too much flavor, but what do I know? Georgia really took her time eating these. She usually swallows treats whole.
Pros: ok treats, good cause
Cons: i'm not sure they like the taste

text: Civic Stadium Eugene, Civic Alliance, Move Forward With Stadium Purchase By Tiffany Eckert • Feb 27, 2015 City of Eugene The City of Eugene announced Friday it will move forward to buy Civic Stadium from the 4-J School District and sell it to a non-profit group committed to its restoration. According to the city manager's office, Eugene Civic Alliance met the deadline to provide "assurances" that the $4.1 million dollars needed to purchase the defunct stadium has been raised. 7-year old Leo Rickard, a first grader at The Village School, represented the generosity required by many when he presented his donation of 84 dollars to the cause. The Future of Civic Stadium By Angela Kellner • Dec 8, 2014 Meeting Date: December 5, 2014 Air Date: December 8, 2014 The Future of Civic Stadium Guest Speakers: Derek Johnson, local attorney; Kari Westlund, President and CEO of Travel Lane County; and Bev Smith, Executive Director KidSportsProgram Coordinator: Brittany Quick-Warner Deadline Extended For Civic Stadium Fundraising By Tiffany Eckert • Jul 17, 2014 Jes Burns The effort to save historic civic stadium in Eugene continues. Yesterday (Wednesday) supporters were given an extension to raise money to renovate the dilapidated ball park. The Eugene City Council voted 5 to 4 to extend the fundraising deadline from September 5th to December 1st. Earlier in the year, the city of Eugene won a bid to purchase the site for 4.5 million dollars. That selection was contingent upon the success of groups like "friends of civic stadium" to raise $3 million dollars *and find an entity to operate the facility. So far they've raised about $200,000. Eugene YMCA Could Build New Facility Where Roosevelt Middle School Now Sits By Angela Kellner • Mar 14, 2014 Eugene Weekly. The Eugene YMCA is hoping to build a new facility.

The City offered $4.5 million for the Civic Stadium properties in South Eugene, but is requiring the community to raise significant additional funds to renovate the neglected all-wood grandstand and manage the facility. 4J Board Member Jim Torrey put it bluntly. "Bottom of 16th": Civic Stadium Vote Expected By Jes Burns • Feb 19, 2014 Jes Burns Wednesday night the Eugene 4j School Board will decide if they will accept the City of Eugene's offer to purchase historic Civic Stadium.

At a 4J School Board Meeting in early February, board members seemed tired of the issue, which they have been dealing with for the past decade. Board Chair Mary Walston: Civic Stadium's Future Could End Up In City's Hands By Tiffany Eckert • Feb 12, 2014 Jes Burns On February 19th, the 4J school board will decide who should be allowed to purchase Civic Stadium.

Edwin Goodwin: Had the same problem with air bag light, look under both front seat and there are sensors that sometimes get pulled loose when you adjust the seat back and forth.

Calvin Kidwell: Very helpful, i just finished doing mine. I have a 2001 Escape XLT (one of the first from this particular dealership). the only problem i encountered was on the stabilizer rod did not have an allen wrench hole, it had a 14mm nut between the bracket plate and rubber grease blub. you have to insert a14mm open end wrench between and a 15mm socket on the front to remove the arm. Once i figured this out it was no problem.
1A Auto Parts: HI Eric, yes it would be a good idea to get an alignment once you replace the struts
Eric Comtois: i have the same problem do you need align the escape afther?
DJ Trend$etter ABE610 Ch: Awesome video. Very helpful.
1A Auto Parts: The vehicle's not usually lifted off of the ground so with the suspension loaded is typically how it sits. that way there you can make sure all of the bolts are securely tightened.
1A Auto Parts: It could be a bad clockspring. If you have any functions on the steering wheel such as cruise control that may not work, it's also the sign of a bad clockspring.

"It is inherently wrong to allow private businesses to make a profit off
the incarceration of others," said Brickner in an ACLU press release. "Our state's
prison system is bloated, and private corporations have a vested financial
interest to ensure our prisons remain full. If state officials have any hope of
shrinking our prison population, we must implement transformative criminal
justice reform policies and reject interests that grow our prison system."
Brickner suggests that concerned citizens contact their elected representatives to express their opposition to privatizing prisons. Read the ACLU's full report on privatizing prisons here.
As county and state officials move to investigate and potentially prosecute voter fraud cases, local groups are pushing back, warning that the investigations could cause a chilling effect among voters.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls became the latest to speak out in a letter to Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
"The current legal investigations perpetuate the idea that voter fraud is widespread, when it's not true," she wrote. "We need to work together to give citizens the confidence that the election process is fair and accessible to those who have followed the law and pre-determined process. When citizens are confused about the process of voting they are intimidated from exercising their full rights to vote, which erodes confidence in and the integrity of our democracy."
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU) and League of Women Voters of Ohio sent similar letters to Husted in the past few weeks, echoing fears that the investigations will intimidate voters into staying out of future elections.
The controversy surrounds 39 "double voter" cases recently sent to the county prosecutor by the Hamilton County Board of Elections. In most of the cases, the voters in question sent in an absentee ballot prior to Election Day then voted on Election Day through a provisional ballot, which are given to voters when there's questions about eligibility. Even though the voters technically voted twice, their votes were only counted once.
The letters from Qualls and the League of Women Voters claim the cases were sent to the county prosecutor based on a narrow interpretation of state law and other sections of election law back the voters' actions.
The letters reference Ohio Revised Code Section 3509.09(B)(2),
which says, "If a registered elector appears to vote in that precinct
and that elector has requested an absent voter's ballot for that
election and the director has received a sealed identification envelope
purporting to contain that elector's voted absent voter's ballots for
that election, the elector shall be permitted to cast a provisional
ballot under section 3505.181 of the Revised Code in that precinct on the day of that election." The law goes on to clarify only one of the votes should be counted.
Husted broke a tie vote in the Hamilton County Board of Elections on May 31, siding with the Republicans on the board who wanted to send the case to the county prosecutor.
Alex Triantafilou, an elections board member and chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, says Republicans just want an investigation.
"I think anytime a person casts two ballots we ought to ask why," Triantafilou says. "This is not to prejudge any of these cases as criminal charges. That's not been our intention. What we want is a qualified investigator to ask the question and then answer it."
Tim Burke, chairman of the local elections board and the Hamilton County Democratic Party, disagrees: "This is a damn shame. What's happening to those voters is absolutely wrong."
Burke claims the law was followed and no further investigation is necessary. He alleges Republicans are trying to suppress voters.
"I fear that what's going on is that elements of the Republican Party want to create the impression that there is massive voter fraud going on, and they want to scare the hell out of people to intimidate them and discourage them from voting in the future," Burke says. "I think part of what's going on here is an effort to identify voter fraud in order to justify more restrictions on voting rights."
Triantafilou argues Democrats, including Burke, are playing politics: "It's a continuation of the kind of fear that Democrats try to instill in the electorate, and it's a political weapon. We're not trying to do that. They alleged voter suppression in the last election cycle. That was nonsensical. The problem really is fraud."
State Auditor Dave Yost released an audit today looking at Value Learning and Teaching (VLT) Academy's 2010-2011 school year, and the findings are not pretty. The charter school, which is located in downtown Cincinnati, was found to be potentially overpaying in multiple instances — including potential conflicts of interest.
"Those who are entrusted with taxpayer dollars must take special care and spend them wisely," Yost said in a statement. "This school appears to have management issues that must be addressed quickly."
In a potential conflict of interest, the school paid Echole Harris, daughter of the school's superintendent, $82,000 during the school year and $17,000 for a summer contract for the position of EMIS coordinator, who helps provide data from VLT Academy to the state. Mysteriously, the school did not disclose the summer contract in its financial statements. The school says the superintendent abstained from all decisions related to Harris and presented the summer contract to the school board. Still, Yost referred the situation to the Ohio Ethics Commission.
The audit also criticized VLT Academy for approving a $249,000 bid for janitorial services that were owned and provided by a school employee. The bid was the most expensive among other offers ranging between $82,000 and $135,600. According to the school's own minutes, "Each company states that they can deliver a work product that will meet or exceed the standards provided in our checklist," adding little justification to the high payment and potential conflict of interest. The school insists its pick was the best qualified because it offered additional services. The bid approval was also referred to the Ohio Ethics Commission.
The school was found to be overpaying its IT director as
well. Keenan Cooke's salary for the 2010-2011 school year was supposed to
be $55,000, but the school overpaid him by $3,333 with no record of
intent. The state asked for Cooke and Judy McConnell, VLT Academy's
fiscal officer, to return the excess payment to the state. The school acknowledged McConnell's responsibility.
To make the potentially excess payments worse, VLT Academy had a net asset deficiency of $412,754 as of June 30, 2011, according to the audit. The school promised the auditor it will cut costs and find revenue generators to make up for the loss.
Two bills discussed today at a hearing of the Ohio House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee would, if passed, offer greater protections to victims of domestic violence and extend them more legal rights to protect their employment, housing and financial livelihood.
Those bills will join H.B. 243 and H.B. 160, which are still awaiting hearings before the judiciary committee and would, respectively, require individuals served with temporary protection orders to surrender their firearms and offer legal protection to the pets of domestic violence victims — often cited as a reason victims have difficulty leaving a violent situation.
Most significant are the changes that would be implemented by H.B. 297, first introduced to the Ohio House in October by Reps. Ann Gonzales (R-Westerville) and Denise Driehaus (D-Cincinnati). The bill outlines new legal protections for domestic violence victims who need to terminate a rental agreement or take unpaid leave at work in order to deal with domestic violence incidences.
Under the bill, victims of domestic violence would be legally protected against termination at work and have the ability to dissolve a rental lease if the tenant has been a victim of domestic violence. The bill would also prohibit landlords from kicking out tenants because they've been victims of domestic violence at the residence and requires them to comply with requests to change locks when a tenant has been a victim of stalking or menacing.
H.B. 309, also introduced in October, by Reps. Dorothy Pelanda (R-Marysville) and Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood), would dissolve any charges related to modifications made to a domestic violence, anti-stalking or other type of protection order or consent agreement
In August, CityBeat spoke with domestic violence victim Andrea Metil, who talked about her personal experiences with legal trip-ups that made protecting herself from her attacker difficult. Metil called for stronger legislation to protect victims of domestic violence.
This is the first hearing for both of the bills.
It seems Ohio may soon get a controversial voter ID law. While speaking at a Tea Party event in Cincinnati on Monday, Secretary of State Jon Husted said the General Assembly is likely to take up a voter ID law after the November election.
"I was listening to a show one night where they talked about these onerous rules, these onerous photo ID rules and the onerous rules in Ohio on photo ID," he said. "Well, the photo ID law in Ohio is not onerous. As a matter of fact, I suspect the General Assembly will take up a more strict version of what we have after what we've been through with this election process."
Later on, an audience member commented on the issue by pointing out Ohioans can currently identify themselves with 12 different types of ID. In response, Husted clarified his position: "We need to streamline that because it's really hard for a poll worker to know exactly what they're supposed to be checking. And I'm quite confident the legislature is going to take that issue up."
Under current Ohio law, voters can go to the polls with state ID cards, driver's licenses, military IDs, utility bills, paychecks, bank statements and other forms of ID. Republicans have sometimes criticized the many options, particularly for not being state-issued and not requiring a photo.
Other states have taken up voter ID laws. Pennsylvania's controversial law requires voters to have state-issued photo ID. A Pennsylvania court recently upheld the law, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated the decision today and asked the lower court to reconsider. The ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court gives lower courts room to strike down the law.
Democrats criticize ID laws for suppressing voters. A study from researchers at the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis found nearly 700,000 young, minority voters will be unable to cast a ballot due to voter ID laws. Both young and minority voters tend to side with Democrats.
Republicans say the laws are necessary to protect elections from voter fraud. However, studies suggest in-person voter fraud is not a serious, widespread issue. A News21 report, a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project that looked at national public records, found 10 cases of alleged in-person voter fraud since 2000. That's less than one case a year nationwide.
The audio clips from the event, which was provided by the Ohio Democratic Party, can be heard here and here.
Husted's office could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a comment becomes available.
UPDATE (4:25 P.M.): Matt McClellan, spokesperson for Husted, called CityBeat after this story was published.
"The Tea Party has generally been critical of the secretary's position on voter ID," he said, referring to Husted's past opposition of strict voter ID laws. "The comments he made at the event last night were environmental in general about what the secretary thought had been happening at the statehouse. His position, in general, is unchanged."
When pressed about what Husted meant when he advocated for "streamlining" laws, McClellan said Husted supported "simplification" of the current system. McClellan could not offer more details on what that means, and he said specifics would be up to the legislature to decide.
Chris Redfern, Ohio Democratic Party chairman, responded to Husted's suggestions in a statement: "As if Secretary of State Husted has not done enough to undermine access to Ohio's polls, now he's planning a secret post-Election Day assault on what forms of identification voters can present to cast a ballot. It's no surprise that after slashing voting access across the state, using his office for partisan advantage, and lying about Issue 2, now Husted is making plans to create obstacles for African Americans and seniors to vote."
It's kind of like dressing up as a child and pretending you're a police officer or some other adult occupation, or maybe it's more akin to playing house.
Equality Cincinnati (EC), a gay rights group, will have a booth on Fountain Square during this weekend's Equinox Pride festival. During the event, EC will unveil its new domestic partner registry. Same-sex couples can sign the registry to show their symbolic commitment to one another.
Republican Rep. John Becker is pretty upset that a
terminally ill gay man has earned the right to die in peace, and now
it's become a very real possibility that other gay Ohioans might also
get to die (and live) in peace. And, just like my brother, he's kind of trying to
ruin the game for everyone just because he's losing.
In July, Judge Timothy Black heard the case of Jim Obergefell and John Arthur, a long-term gay couple who flew to Maryland to marry at the beginning of the month because Arthur is terminally ill, in hospice care, and not expected to live much longer.
Obergefell and Arthur sued the state of Ohio for
discrimination in not recognizing their out-of-state gay marriage, legal
and recognized in Maryland, when other gay couples residing in states
recognizing same-sex marriages and subsequently moved to Ohio would have
their marriages treated as valid. And because Arthur is terminally ill, it's just as much for the emotional connection as it is for any kind of economic benefit.
Here's what Obergefell wrote in his original complaint (grab a tissue):
"Our legacy as a married couple is very important to John and me… in two or more generations our descendants will not know who we are. Married couples, often through research based on death records, have recognition for their special status forever. I want my descendants generations from now who research their history to learn that I loved and married John and that he loved and married me. They will know that they had gay ancestor who was proud and strong and in love."
In his ruling, Black called the case "not complicated," explaining that he'd allow the marriage to be legalized on Arthur's death certificate because it was likely a constitutional violation that the state of Ohio treated lawful out-of-state same-sex marriages differently than lawful out-of-state same-sex marriages.
In September, he ruled to allow the marriage of another gay
couple — David Michener and William Herbert Ives — after Ives
unexpectedly passed away in late August. Although these aren't (yet) blanket rulings, they're being interpreted as monumental victories for supporters of marriage equality.
Becker, then, decided to do the political equivalent of my brother running to my mom and accusing me of cheating; he wrote U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup and called for Black to be impeached for "malfeasance and abuse of power," which apparently made him really concerned about the "federal government's ever growing propensity to violate state sovereignty."
Unfortunately, though, U.S. District Court judges are
appointed for life, so since Becker's claims against Judge Black are
totally unfounded, Black is free to continue to anger Becker and other people who don't approve of equality for gay couples.
Alphonse Gerhardstein, the attorney for both couples, calls Becker's response to the rulings "bullying."
"Federal judges are granted tenure for life for a reason. It's their job to enforce core principles even when the majority disagrees," he says. "Look at the Dred Scott case. I think most people would agree that's the worst case decision ever made by a judge, and even he didn't get impeached." (In case you forget, he's talking about Dred Scott v. Sandford, the landmark 1857 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ruled black people weren't citizens.)
Things that actually can get a judge impeached, says Gerhardstein, are offenses like having sex with a criminal defendant or taking bribes.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the court added licensed funeral director Robert Grunn, who is responsible for registering deaths and providing personal information to the state on what should go on a death certificate, to the list of plaintiffs. Grunn currently serves same-sex couples when he signs death certificates, says the lawsuit, including those with marriages recognized outside the state of Ohio. The lawsuit, if successful, could require all funeral directors to recognize gay clients as married on death certificates if they were legally married in a different state.
Gerhardstein also says since accepting Arthur and Obergefell's case, he and his colleagues have received inquiries from between 30 to 50 other gay couples seeking legal recognitions of their out-of-state marriages. For now, he says, he and his firm are concentrating on cases specifically involving recognizing same-sex marriages on death certificates, although this litigation could (and probably will) lead to other blanket rulings on how same-sex marriages are recognized in Ohio.
Another hearing with Judge Black is scheduled for Dec. 18.
The lawsuit claims that Hebert was complying with instructions given by an investigating officer when he was shot and killed by Mitchell. The suit claims excessive force was used and that Mitchell "acted intentionally, recklessly, wantonly, and with deliberate indifference to the constitutional rights of Mr. Hebert."
Hebert was shot and killed by Mitchell after officers responded to a 911 call around 3 a.m. during which an intoxicated man alleged to have been robbed by Hebert and assaulted with a pirate sword. Hebert was located sitting on a sidewalk on Chase Avenue in Northside about 10 minutes later. During subsequent questioning, officers say Hebert drew a knife and moved toward an investigating officer, causing Mitchell to believe the officer's life was in danger. Mitchell shot Hebert twice, killing him. Toxicology reports found Hebert to have a blood alcohol content of 0.33 at the time of his death, along with marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his system.
Three investigations cleared police of any wrongdoing, but Friends of Bones says the facts from the investigations show Hebert complied with police orders during the encounter.
The lawsuit demands a trial by jury and compensatory and punitive damages, along with attorney's fees, costs, disbursements and additional relief as the court deems proper. The suit, which is embedded below, was published on the "Friends of Bones" website (www.friendsofbones.org).
The incident has drawn considerable media attention, especially this week in conjunction with the anniversary of the shooting.
The Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday published a story titled "Reports: Cops came too close in killing of David 'Bones' Hebert" comparing accounts of the incident in public records to standard Cincinnati Police Department guidelines, which concluded that "police officers got dangerously close and failed to have a plan before approaching Hebert, who police thought was carrying a sword or large knife."
Cincinnati Magazine's May issue will feature a story, "Salvaging Bones," which is subtitled: "David Hebert was a lot of things: the dreadlocked maker of burritos; a punk rocker; a womanizing, tatted-up former Jesus freak with a kind heart and a wild streak. What he wasn't was a guy you'd expect to find dead at the end of a police standoff."
CityBeat on Sept. 14, 2011 published a story titled "Digging Up Answers for Bones" in which friends and family of Hebert alleged that Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters' closing of the investigation was politically motivated.
CityBeat on May
4, 2011 published a story titled "A Shot in the Dark," detailing
the early questions that surrounded the incident.
Jailing juveniles as a form of "rehabilitation" comes with an expensive price tag. More than money, the criminal justice system costs kids their rights and that state seems to be OK with that.

Seriously, ATWS readers are BEYOND inspiring. Check out this success story from Brenda…
Hi Anna!
My 3-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in July 2014, which as you can imagine threw us into a tailspin. Our entire family (7-year-old son included, who has ADHD—so the change was challenging for him, too) underwent a total lifestyle change as we learned how to best manage my daughter's blood sugars. I'm pleased to report she is a happy, playful, healthy little girl who has adapted beautifully.
Needless to say, the cost of her management came as a bit of a shock. My husband and I each bring home decent pay, yet money just seemed to disappear. So, I got serious. I tracked where every dollar went and I tried your Spending Diet idea.

The parents against which the students rebelled -- as represented by the college administrations -- buckled. College presidents who were the finest flowering of post-World War II liberalism gave in to the radicalism, politicizing American higher education and trashing its standards. "The maturation of the student protest movement turned out to be part of the infantilization of the American intelligentsia," Kimball writes.
The freedoms fought for in the student revolt soon curdled into the opposite: free speech became speech codes; sexual liberation became the regime of sexual harassment; civil rights became quotas. Meanwhile, Mark Rudd and a fringe of the New Left spun off into the Weather Underground, which took the destructive spirit of the campus protests to its logical conclusion in a campaign of terrorist bombings. Jonah Goldberg reminds us in his book "Liberal Fascism" that the radical left committed roughly 250 attacks from September 1969 to May 1970.
If the academics gave in, another segment of the parents resisted. They were the Nixon voters, reacting against the disorder and cultural radicalism with which liberalism became identified. Republicans held the White House for 28 of the next 40 years, and the alternative history of the 1960s is the rise of the right. Even now, with Barack Obama dogged by his association with a former member of the Weather Underground, the Democratic Party's challenge is to free itself from the taint of 1968.

Lin Mathias is ready for her next challenge after raising £10,000 for cancer charities.
/ News
A HEREFORD woman is preparing for her next fundraising challenge after already raising £10,000 for cancer charities.
Lin Mathias, aged 64, is taking on the 100km Ride the Night race through London next Saturday (May 31). She will be joined by four friends who are all donning brightly coloured shorts to raise money for women's cancer charities.
"I thought I could do it and I like a challenge. This is my fourth cycle challenge, having previously cycled through Cuba and a number of other places," Lin said.
"My mum died of cancer many years ago now and I suppose you could say I am a bit female orientated and like supporting women's charities."
Lin, who is currently studying for a fine art degree, took up cycling to help her deal with life's stresses a few years ago.
She has raised around £10,000 to date and is now looking to add to that total, money for Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action.

Snehituda touches a different angle in love
Director Satyam says, "Our film touches a new and different angle in love. I have tried my best to bring out the film in a different manner. I have tried to give a different image to the film not just as a love story but a family entertainer. There are several elements in the film that will attract all classes of audiences. The combination of Nani and Madhavi Lata would be a definite hit. All the scenes shot on them would enthrall everyone. Sivashankar"s music would be a highlight.."

One of the biggest threats to Afghanistan's security is corruption in the Afghan government. In July, a close advisor to Afghan President Hamid Karzai was arrested on corruption charges, and then released after President Karzai intervened. Are we doing enough to eradicate issues of corruption in that country, both in the government itself and in our dealings with people there?
We're joined by Dawood Azami, editor at the Kabul bureau for the BBC World Service. Azami tells us that Afghanis see the issue of corruption as central to whether they become loyal to the government, or the Taliban.
I don't think the question should be "Are we doing enough?" It should be: "Are we doing the right thing?"
What amazes me, and most Americans I guess, is the fact that we kept blaming Afghan president Hamid Karzai for corruption all along, and now we have to admit publicly that we bribe his officials for information because he either "doesn't tell us what is going on in his administration," or because he is clueless about! And, the story goes, we have to pay dearly for all information. And, the story continues, $ 1 billion is shipped out of the country annually! And two weeks ago, Karzai's National Security Chief, Mohammad Zia Salehi, was arrested by the U.S. controlled Anti-Corruption Task Force for taking bribes from the Ansari National Exchange to facilitate shipping out large amounts of U.S. cash bribes. And now we learn that he was on the CIA payroll too, but he was arrested for "double dipping" on bribes. And that tells us that "CIA bribes are legal in Afghanistan, but other bribes are not! And that means: "We are failing in our Afghan war, and we are desperately trying to stabilize the country with bribes in order to secure a face-saving exit!"
How does the CIA justifies that? The CIA now has this excuse: "Afghanistan is not Plato's Republic, and we have to pay bribes to be effective." But that is contrary to our claim that "we want to establish a democratic government there before we get out." There is no precedent in the history of mankind where invaders and conquerors established a democratic government in any occupied territory with bribes. Afghan officials just enjoy the protection of the U.S. troops while they are getting rich with our bribes, and while they ship out those $ billions to live like princes outside Afghanistan when the U.S. throws in the towel and they run for the borders!
And while we empty bribes with the truckload in the "black hole" of Afghanistan, Americans are in the 3rd year of poverty, $ trillions lost in their real estate equity, high unemployment, and a nearly empty U.S. Treasury!
God bless our Plato-styled democracy , in which the CIA 's "Philosopher King in Afghanistan," [Platos's best form of government is that of a philosopher king ruler] Hamid Karzai has one philosophy for himself and his cronies: "Get rich as fast as you can, and get ready to get our of Afghanistan as soon as the U.S. abandons "The Graveyard of the Empires."

Celebs in Denim: Vanessa Hudgens in J Brand
J Brand just released these jeans here on Vanessa Hudgens, they are the 912 pencil leg in torn jett. I've been wondering what these jeans were for a while now, I originally thought they were J Brand based on the back pocket shape and now I know. It looks like Vanessa got her hands on these jeans before they were even released, lucky girl! Here she is shopping at Fornarina on Melrose and then stopping for gas. This ripped jeans trend has really taken denim brands by storm, every brand I can think of has now released ripped jeans. These J Brand ones are gorgeous, they are going on my wish list!
