The Ohio Turnpike will remain a public asset, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Many Ohioans have been worried Gov. John Kasich would attempt to privatize the Turnpike in order to pay for transportation projects; instead, the governor will try to generate revenue for state infrastructure projects elsewhere, perhaps by using the Turnpike's tolls. Kasich will unveil his full plans Thursday and Friday.
The asbestos lawsuit bill is heading to Kasich to be signed. The bill attempts to curb duplicate lawsuits over on-the-job asbestos exposure. Supporters of the bill say it will prevent double-dipping by victims, but opponents say the bill will impede legitimate cases. Ohio has one of the largest backlogs of on-the-job asbestos exposure cases.
City Manager Milton Dohoney has released some of the potential bids for the city's parking services, and one bidder is offering $100 to $150 million. Dohoney says the budget can only be balanced if parking services are privatized or the city lays off 344 employees. But Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is speaking out against the privatization of the city's parking services. In a statement, Sittenfeld said, "Outsourcing our parking system robs the city of future revenue, and also will mean higher parking rates, longer hours of enforcement, and more parking tickets."
LGBT rights are becoming "the new normal," but not for Western & Southern or American Financial Group. In the 2012 Corporate Equality Index, the Human Rights Campaign gave 252 companies a 100-percent score for LGBT rights. Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble got a 90 percent, Macy's got a 90 percent, Kroger got an 85 percent, Fifth Third Bank got an 85 percent, Omnicare got a 15 percent, American Financial Group got a 0 percent and Western & Southern got a 0 percent. The rankings, dubbed a "Buyer's Guide," can be found here.
The Sierra Club says Cincinnati has some of the best and worst transportation projects. In its annual report, the environmental group praised the Cincinnati streetcar, claiming the transportation project will attract residents and business owners. But the organization slammed the Eastern Corridor Highway project because of its negative impact on the Little Miami River and the small village of Newtown. The Sierra Club says the purpose of the report is to shed light on the more than $200 billion spent on transportation projects every year.

The disease-carrying Walnut Twig Beetle has been discovered in southwest Ohio. The beetle is known for carrying Thousand Cankers Disease, which threatens the health of walnut trees. So far, no trees have been determined to be infected.
Ohio Gov. Kasich, Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood will meet today to discuss funding for the Brent Spence Bridge project. If the bridge project starts in 2014, northern Kentucky and Cincinnati could save $18 billion in fuel and congestion costs, according to the Build Our New Bridge Now Coalition.
Following the defeat of Issue 2, the Ohio Senate is taking on redistricting reform, but opponents in the House say there isn't enough time to tackle the issue. The current redistricting system is widely abused by politicians on both sides of the aisle in a process called "gerrymandering," which involves politicians redrawing district lines in politically beneficial ways. The First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn during the Republican-controlled process to include Republican-leaning Warren County, heavily diluting the impact of Cincinnati's Democratic-leaning urban vote.
Ohio employers are more aware of wellness than employers in other states, a new survey found. Wellness programs are one way employers can bring down health-care expenditures as cost shifting feels the pinch of diminishing returns.

Internet cafe legislation is dead for the year. Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus announced the legislation, which essentially puts Internet cafes and sweepstakes parlors out of business. State officials, including Attorney General Mike DeWine, have been pushing for regulations or a ban on the businesses because they see them as a breeding ground for criminal activity.

Michigan may have approved its anti-union right-to-work law, but Ohio is not eager to follow. State Democrats are already preparing for a possible battle over the issue, but even Republican Gov. John Kasich says he's not currently interested in a right-to-work law.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is loosening hazardous waste reporting requirements for companies. If the rules go into effect, regulated facilities will report on hazardous waste once every two years instead of once a year. The rule changes will get a public hearing on Dec. 19 in Columbus.
In a question-and-answer session Monday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia asked, "If we cannot have moral feelings against homosexuality, can we have it against murder? Can we have it against other things?" (Hint: The answer to both questions is yes.) The Supreme Court recently agreed to tackle the same-sex marriage issue. CityBeat wrote about same-sex marriage in Ohio here.

In a 5-4 vote today, City Council approved a plan to lease Cincinnati's parking assets to the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority to help balance deficits for the next two fiscal years and fund development projects in Downtown, but the plan is now being held up by a Hamilton County judge's temporary restraining order (TRO).
The plan was approved with an emergency clause, which means it is not subject to referendum, according to City Solicitor John Curp. Councilman Chris Seelbach joined the parking plan's five supporters in approving the emergency clause, which is meant to expedite the plan's implementation by removing a 30-day waiting period.
Shortly after the parking plan was approved by City Council, Judge Robert Winkler signed a TRO that will halt its implementation for at least one week. The judge's action will provide enough time to process a lawsuit filed by Curt Hartman, an attorney who represents the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), on behalf of local activists who oppose the plan and argue it should be subject to referendum.
Mayor Mark Mallory says the emergency clause was passed to speed up the plan's implementation in time for the budget that will begin July 1, not to suppress voters: "I don't think that any member of council has ever voted for an emergency clause in an effort to keep voters from being able to reverse the decision that the council is making, so I take exception with that characterization."
The parking plan got its required fifth vote, up from a 4-3 vote in the Budget and Finance Committee Monday, from Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who abstained from voting in the committee meeting because she said she was concerned about the city's long-term fiscal outlook. She says her concerns were eased after she read the leasing agreement and listened to a presentation from City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. that gave City Council a few options for fixing the city's structural deficits.
The parking plan's other supporters were council members Roxanne Qualls, Yvette Simpson, Cecil Thomas and Wendell Young. Council members Seelbach, P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Smitherman and Charlie Winburn voted against the plan.
The plan, which CityBeat previously covered ("Parking Stimulus," issue of Feb. 27), will lease the city's parking assets to fund development projects, including a 30-story tower and a downtown grocery store, and help balance the deficit for the next two fiscal years. The deal will produce a $92 million upfront payment, and the city projects that additional annual installments will generate more than $263 million throughout the lease's duration.
Opponents say they are concerned the plan will give up too much control of the city's parking meters and garages, which they say could lead to spikes in parking rates.
Under the initial plan, downtown rates will remain at $2 an hour and neighborhood rates will be hiked to 75 cents. Afterward, parking meter rates will be set to increase annually by 3 percent or the rate of inflation on a compounded basis, with actual increases coming in at 25-cents-an-hour increments. That should translate to 25-cent increases every three years for downtown and every six years for neighborhoods, according to Meg Olberding, city spokesperson.
The city will be able to bypass the so-called "cap" on parking meter rate increases through a unanimous vote from a five-person advisory committee, approval from the city manager and a final nod from the Port Authority. The process, which begins with an advisory committee that will include four members appointed by the Port Authority and one selected by the city manager, will allow the city to raise and lower rates to adjust for changing economic needs, says Olberding.
Opponents also say the money from the parking plan is being used too quickly, which does little to alleviate the city's structural deficits.
Dohoney previously argued the plan will help reduce the deficit by generating recurring revenues through long-term economic growth and development.
"The situation that we're in requires that we accelerate growth right now, not later," he said Monday. "If we do not do that, then we're going to have further negative ramifications to deal with."
With the lease agreement approved, it is now up to the Port Authority to develop and publicize the bond documents that will further detail the framework of the parking plan.
in the same meeting, City Council unanimously passed a resolution
asking the federal government to take up comprehensive immigration
Update: This story was updated to reflect Judge Robert Winkler's actions.
Mayor John Cranley plans to address the city's long-term unemployment problems with a set of new initiatives, some of which could get support from the White House, he told CityBeat Thursday.
One of the initiatives is in direct response to President Barack Obama's call, heard by millions during the State of the Union Tuesday, to get private companies on board with ending discrimination against the long-term unemployed.
Specifically, Cranley says he helped get Procter & Gamble and other local companies to agree to join the president's initiative.
"It wasn't that hard to sell them on it, but they've got a lot of things going on," Cranley says. "Getting their attention and focus on these things is one of the great powers that I have. I can help ask people to give back in ways they just haven't thought of before."
With a visit to the White House planned for Friday, Cranley hopes his quick response to Obama's call could help the city land future federal grants for programs that address long-term unemployment.
As an example, Cranley points to a new White House initiative that asks cities to develop innovative pilot programs that help the long-term unemployed. The initiative will award federal grants, which Cranley estimates at a couple million dollars per city, to the 10 best proposals.
In preparation, the city is partnering with several local organizations, including the Workforce Investment Board and United Way of Greater Cincinnati, to develop a unique plan. How the city's proposal looks ultimately depends on the constraints set by the application requirements, but Cranley cited more educational opportunities and subsidies for companies that hire the long-term unemployed as two examples cities might undertake.
The proposal, however it looks, would come in addition to Cranley's Hand Up Initiative, which he plans to fund through this year's city budget. As part of the initiative, the city will first partner with Cincinnati Cooks, Cincinnati Works and Solid Opportunities for Advancement and Retention (SOAR) to provide more job training opportunities. Participants who graduate from those programs can then apply to the Transitional Jobs Program, which provides short-term, part-time work opportunities to people as they look for long-term, full-time jobs.
The initiative will begin as a pilot program for the first two years, but it could eventually expand with more partnerships and job training opportunities, according to Cranley.
If successfully carried out, Cranley's proposals could help break the long-term unemployment trends that keep so many Americans jobless in the first place.
In one study, Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University sent out 4,800 fake resumes for 600 job openings. Ghayad found people who had been out of work for six months or more very rarely got called back, even in comparison to applicants without work experience who were unemployed for shorter periods of time.
In other words, diminishing the discrimination on the employer's side or ongoing joblessness on the potential employee's side could be enough to land more people in jobs.
A proper solution to the issue could also go a long way to picking up the nation's sluggish job market. By the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' estimate, nearly 38 percent of the unemployed in December had been unemployed for 27 weeks or longer — the highest rate in six decades. In comparison, the rate was below 20 percent prior to the recession.
For Cranley, the initiatives also present an opportunity to address Cincinnati's abhorrent poverty rates by giving people a chance to obtain better-paying jobs.
"In the end, we want a city that isn't just good for future residents," Cranley says, referencing the economic momentum in Over-the-Rhine, downtown and uptown that might benefit future Cincinnatians. "We need a city solution that grows the capacity and builds the opportunities for residents who are already here and families that are already dealing with poverty."
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today released a disappointing job report. Unemployment fell to 8.1 percent in August, and 96,000 jobs were added nationwide. But economists were expecting about 150,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate fell largely due to people giving up on the job hunt, which means they are no longer counted in the labor pool.
One of the reasons for disappointment is the drop in public jobs. People are quick to look at the private sector when these kind of numbers come up, but the public sector employs people, too. And the public sector lost 10,000 jobs at state and local levels, according to today's jobs report.
That follows the trend of the past few years. The public sector has been doing poorly since the Great Recession started, according to this chart from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
The chart shows state and local payrolls since the beginning of the recession. It proves quite clearly that governments have been making cuts to public jobs.
Ohio has not avoided government job cuts. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported July's unemployment rate at 7.2 percent, which was unchanged from June's unemployment rate. The biggest loss in jobs for the month came from government, which lost 5,300 jobs statewide. In comparison to July 2011, July 2012 had 4,400 fewer government jobs.
Instinctively, it makes some sense. As the recession kicks in and families and businesses are forced to budget for lower expectations, it might seem natural to expect the government to do the same.
However, many economists argue it should be the opposite. They say the government should be used to balance out the private sector. In other words, when the private sector is performing poorly — recession — the government should step in to make up for the drop. When the private sector is performing well — boom — the government can relax and run budget surpluses.
Paul Krugman, a Nobel-winning economist, has advocated for this approach time and time again. In his New York Times column and blog, Krugman has pushed for more stimulus efforts from the federal government, and he called for a much larger stimulus package than the $787 billion package President Barack Obama signed into law in 2009.
The data seems to support economists calling for more action. Last month, the Brookings Institute conducted a study that found June's national unemployment rate would be at 7.1 percent if governments hadn't made cuts.
What this means is if governments truly want to fix the economic crisis, they might want to kick the debt can down the road. But considering many cities and states have constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets, that might be hard to pull off.
A YouTube video that went viral over the weekend may have broken the rosy illusions the average American has about wealth and income inequality.
Using data from Mother Jones,
Dan Ariely, ThinkProgress and CNN, the video compares the average American's ideal distribution of wealth, what the average American says wealth inequality looks like and how wealth is distributed in reality — ultimately showing that the average American says the nation is much more equal than it really is.
The video suggests investment income as one of the drivers of inequality. The top 1 percent wealthiest Americans hold 50 percent of the nation's stocks, bonds and mutual funds, while the bottom 50 percent of Americans only hold 0.5 percent of such investments, according to the video.
"The average worker needs to work more than a month to earn what the CEO makes in one hour," the narrator says.
In the past, the United States was a lot closer to equality. As the video points out, the top 1 percent only took home 9 percent of the nation's income in 1976. Today, that number is up to 24 percent.
Ohio isn't immune to the trend. A previous report from the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found Ohio's income gap — the income difference between the rich and poor — is wide and growing, and low-income and middle-income Ohioans have actually seen their incomes drop since the 1990s.
The video doesn't make any suggestions on how to fix the problem — it simply shows massive inequality exists — but there are plenty of ideas out there. A paper from the Congressional Research Service suggested the tax system may be playing a role in driving up income and wealth inequality: "However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be correlated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution. … The statistical analysis in this report suggests that tax policy could be related to how the economic pie is sliced — lower top tax rates may be associated with greater income disparities."
In December, The Washington Post posted 10 empirically supported ideas, which included funding preschool education, making unions easier to join and promoting trade in highly skilled professions.
In his 2013 State of the Union, President Barack Obama suggested raising the federal minimum wage to help combat poverty and income inequality — a policy that economist Lawrence Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute recently advocated.
Here is the full video:
For the first time since inauguration, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has a positive approval rating, but a plurality of registered voters say Kasich doesn't deserve a second term. The Quinnipac University poll attributed the increase in Kasich's approval rating to "high levels of satisfaction among Ohio voters with life in the Buckeye State." About 42 percent of respondents approved of Kasich, while 35 percent disapproved. About 42 percent said Kasich doesn't deserve a second term, while 36 percent said he does. The poll surveyed 1,165 registered voters with a margin of error of 2.9 percent.
Last night, Cincinnati held its final public hearing on City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. About 40 people spoke during the meeting, with many voicing concern about Media Bridges funding, which CityBeat recently covered here. The budget has also come under scrutiny due to its privatization of parking services, but Dohoney says the choice is privatization or 344 layoffs.
Cincinnati plans to bolster its green building incentives. City officials are trying to amend the city's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards to encourage higher levels of investment in green projects. Since LEED standards were first approved in 2009, they have been criticized for only offering strong incentives for lower levels of certification. The amendment seeks to make the higher levels of certification more appealing.
University Hospital is being renamed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
An "anti-immigrant bill" proposed by Cincinnati's Ohio Sen. Bill Seitz is not being received well by Innovation Ohio. S.B. 323 seeks to limit workers' compensation to illegal immigrants, but the Ohio policy research group is not sure that's a legitimate problem. The organization is also worried the bill will impose a regulatory burden on the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and Ohio's workers without providing extra funds and training to carry out the regulations.
Ohio is improving in its battle against human trafficking. The state earned a "C" and it was labeled "most improved" in a new report from the Polaris Project. But one state legislator wants to go further by placing tougher standards on "johns" participating in the sex trade. CityBeat previously wrote about the human trafficking problem in Ohio here.
The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved enough credits to help create about 500 jobs in Greater Cincinnati.
Michigan may have recently passed its anti-union "right-to-work" law, but Gov. Kasich does not share a similar interest.
Kasich will announce his changes to the Ohio Turnpike Thursday and Friday. The governor says his proposed changes will unlock "greater wealth," but critics are worried Kasich is about to sell off a major public asset.

Cincinnati City Council took the first step Tuesday in repealing the city's ban on owning Pit Bull terriers. Council's Livable Communities Committee voted 5-1 to support repeal, saying it was unfair to single out a specific breed for harsher treatment. Experts have said Pit Bulls aren't inherently vicious, and that their treatment and training by their owners is responsible for any bad behavior. Councilman Cecil Thomas opposed the repeal, stating he was concerned about "enforcement issues." The full City Council could make a final decision as soon as this afternoon. CityBeat examined the ban in-depth here.
Police Chief James Craig met Tuesday morning with 19 ministers and community leaders in an Avondale church. Craig wants to create a partnership with clergy to combat youth violence and shootings. It was the second such session that Craig has held this month. Since police presence was increased in Avondale April 2, no more shootings have occurred in the neighborhood.
A Cincinnati police officer was hospitalized after being hurt for the second time on the job. Officer Jerry Enneking has survived four car crashes while on-duty. The 23-year police veteran was rear-ended in a five-car crash Tuesday. Seeing another driver trapped, Enneking ignored his own injuries and helped rescue the person.
Tim Tebow, the prayerful quarterback for the New York Jets, will be in town today for two events at Cincinnati Christian University in Price Hill. The first already is sold out, but there are $500 tickets still available for a banquet. Both events will focus on how Tebow balances his life in the NFL with his faith.
The School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) in Over-the-Rhine is being awarded a $45,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The SCPA competed with more than 300 other groups for the cash, which will be used to support the school's Master's Artist Series and Artists in Residence programs for the next school year.
In news elsewhere, an ex-drilling engineer for BP Oil has been arrested on charges of intentionally destroying text messages sought by federal authorities as evidence in the wake of the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster. The charges of obstruction of justice filed against Kurt Mix, in the Eastern District of Louisiana, are the first criminal charges connected to the oil spill. If found guilty, Mix could face up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines for each count.
As expected, Willard Mitt Romney swept the five Republican presidential primaries held Tuesday. The former Massachusetts governor got 67.4 percent of the vote in Connecticut, 56.5 percent in Delaware, 62.4 percent in New York, 58 percent in Pennsylvania, and 63.2 percent in Rhode Island. Most of the other GOP contenders have conceded the nomination race to Romney.
During the presidency of George W. Bush, the United States had the worst job creation record in decades, suffered the worst recession since the Great Depression and borrowed billions of dollars from China to support two wars. If you've been wondering how Romney or other Republican politicians running for office would do anything differently, wonder no more. Alexandra Franceschi, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said in an interview last week that the GOP's economic platform will be the same as that under Bush, just "updated." There, voters: You have been warned.
A Brooklyn district attorney is resisting a public records request to divulge the names of 85 Orthodox Jews arrested on sex charges there during the past three years. Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes says the "tight-knit" nature of the Orthodox community makes it impossible to disclose the identities of abuse suspects without also identifying their victims. A Jewish newspaper might file a legal challenge to the decision.
Despite numerous cuts to government spending in the name of austerity — or perhaps because of it, if you listen to some economists — the United Kingdom has now officially sunk into a double-dip recession, its first since the 1970s. Economic indicators reveal the U.K. economy has performed even more weakly since the current financial crisis began than in the Great Depression.
A new report from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio shows the impact of state budget cuts on individual counties. Statewide, more than $1 billion in tax reimbursements and the Local Government Fund was cut between the 2010-2011 budget, which was passed by Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, and the 2012-2013 budget, which was passed by Republican Gov. John Kasich. Additionally, Ohio's estate tax — a tax that affected only 8 percent of Ohioans, largely those at top income levels — was eliminated, killing off a crucial source of funding. Hamilton County, its jurisdiction, schools, services and levies lost $222.1 million. Health and human services lost $23.2 million. Children's services lost $4.6 million, and the county children's agency services "was sent into financial crisis." In total, more than 5,000 local government jobs were lost in the area.
The Center for Closing the Health Gap is launching a campaign to raise awareness about food deserts in Cincinnati. Food deserts are areas, particularly neighborhoods, where full-service grocery stores aren't readily available to residents. The campaign hopes to raise awareness and funding to combat the food deserts in the Cincinnati area. With a funding target of $15 million, the organization plans to help build smaller stores with close ties to the local communities.
A new study from Cincinnati Children's Hospital resurfaced Greater Cincinnati's nuclear weapons legacy. Between the 1950s and 1980s, residents of nearby farm communities were unaware they were being exposed to radioactive materials in the air, water and soil from a Cold War era nuclear weapons plant, located 18 miles northwest of Cincinnati. Apparently, the exposure has led to higher rates of systemic lupus in the area.
Greater Cincinnati's economic recovery could be slowed or boosted by policy, but it will outpace the nation's economic recovery, according to local economists. Still, the economists caution that there is a lot of uncertainty due to oil prices, the fiscal cliff — a series of tax hikes and budget cuts scheduled to be made at the start of 2013 if U.S. Congress doesn't act — and the fiscal crisis in Europe.
Cincinnati's small businesses are more upbeat about the economy. Eleven percent of local family firms expect the economy to improve, but whether that translates to business expansions remains to be seen.
CityLink Center is scheduled to open today. The initial plans for the facility sought to help the homeless with health services, overnight shelter, food, temporary housing and child care. At one point, the center's opening was threatened due to legal challenges regarding zoning.
Hostess, maker of Twinkies, says it will close down three bakeries, including one in Cincinnati, due to a national strike. According to reports, union workers walked off the job after a new contract cut their wages and benefits. Hostess insists the factory shutdowns will not affect customers.
Top Cincinnati mortgage lenders saw double-digit increases between Sept. 1, 2011 and Aug. 30, 2012. The rise is yet another positive sign for the housing market, which collapsed during the latest financial crisis and recession.
The state agency in charge of higher education released a report highlighting 20 recommendations to improve degree completion in Ohio. Some of the recommendations from the Board of Regents: Adopt more uniform statewide rules regarding college completion and career readiness, push stronger collaboration and alignment in education from preschool through senior year in college, establish a new system of high school assessment to improve readiness for college, and improve flexibility. The board will attempt to turn the report into reality in cooperation with university and state officials.
Too much school choice may be a bad thing. A new study found Ohio's varied education system, which offers vouchers for private schools and charter schools as alternatives to a traditional public school, may have passed "a point where choice actually becomes detrimental to overall academic performance."
The Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) issued an action alert on Saturday telling members to oppose privatizing the Ohio Turnpike. The Ohio state government, led by Kasich, is currently studying possible plans to privatize the turnpike. In a video, an OFB member argues the current turnpike management is fine.
There are still some undecided seats in the Ohio legislature from the Nov. 6 election.

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan weighed in on the controversy over replacement National Football League referees in a Tuesday town hall-style meeting in Cincinnati, comparing the Obama administration to the substitute officials who cost his home-state Green Bay Packers a victory with their botched call Monday night.
"Give me a break. It is time to get the real refs," Ryan said.
"And you know what, it reminds me of President Obama and the economy — if you can't get it right, it's time to get out. I half think that these refs work part time for the Obama administration in the budget office."
Ryan was referencing a play that should have been called an interception for the Packers but instead allowed the Seattle Seahawks to score a game-winning touchdown on Monday Night Foodball. Replacement referees — some of whom may have been fired by the Lingerie Football League for incompetence — are filling in for unionized officials who are locked out.
The vice presidential candidate spoke inside a Byer Steel warehouse surrounded by piles of I-beams and rebar. A self-proclaimed Southern gospel rock band played before the event, occasionally pausing to talk up GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's conservative credentials.
Much of Ryan's prepared speech, as well as questions from participants in the town hall, focused on the economy, the deficit and the need for changes to entitlement programs.
Asked by an audience member how he would limit government and eliminate programs, Ryan said he and Romney would spur economic growth by lessening the tax burdens on small businesses, cut discretionary spending on government agencies and overhaul entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Outside before the rally, protesters called for Ryan — whose House-passed budget made deeps cuts to many welfare and safety-net programs — to have more compassion for the poor.
Meanwhile an airplane sponsored by MoveOn.org carried a banner reading, "Romney: Believe in 55% of America?" referencing comments revealed in a recent video where Romney claimed 47 percent of Americans didn't pay any income tax and viewed themselves as victims reliant on government so it wasn't his job to worry about their votes.
"We're here with several messages, including the immorality of the Ryan budget and how it will impact the vast majority of Americans negatively," said David Little with the liberal advocacy group ProgressOhio. "When a budget protects those with the most and negatively impacts those with the least, I would suggest that is immoral."
Bentley Davis with the Alliance for Retired Americans said she was concerned about what Romney and Ryan's plans for Medicare and Social Security would do to retirement security.
Ryan had proposed to keep Medicare the same for anybody already 55 and over, but give younger Americans the choice to get money to spend toward private insurance or stay in a Medicare-like program.
Inside the warehouse was a digital sign that ticked up the national debt, which was at $16 trillion and rising.
"Here is what our government, our Congressional Budget Office, is telling us our debt is in the future if we stay on the path that President Obama has kept us on, has put us on … the debt goes as high as two and a half times the size of our economy by the time my three kids are my age," Ryan said.
The Obama campaign fired back in an email response, saying Ryan used misleading rhetoric to hide his own record and Republican plans to raise taxes on the middle class to fund tax cuts for wealthier Americans.
"The Romney-Ryan ticket has plenty of questions to answer about a failed record on manufacturing and job creation and their support for policies that will devastate middle class families by raising their taxes and shipping jobs overseas," Obama for America – Ohio Press Secretary Jessica Kershaw wrote.
"These policies would take the growing manufacturing industry backward, not forward."
For some in the audience, the economy was also on the forefront.
Steve Teal, 56, of West Chester, said he doesn't like the direction the country is going in.
"Just get the country back to work," Teal said. "I don't trust him (Obama). He doesn't stand up for America. He doesn't stand up for Americans."
CityBeat writer Stefane Kremer contributed to this report.
Ryan went from Cincinnati to an event with Romney in Dayton later on Tuesday.

Ok. I found a pack of arrow hair berets one day at a dolla store. I bought them and held on to them for several months until I felt ready to make a GA. The boot straps are thin strips of green fabric hemmed with stitch witchery and glue on with hot glue. The hat feather is a real feather (painted). The quiver strap I sleather strap. The quiver is a wood block. I drilled into the wood block for each arrow and glued them into place, they are not removeable. This guy's bow is also not removable. It is the two end pieces from a plastic clothes hanger, and they are screwed and glued into place. Ducktape belt, everything else apoxie.

|Join us for a special Google Play hangout with hip hop's biggest newcomer, +Kendrick Lamar (http://goo.gl/s66EK) on Wednesday, March 13. Lamar will be live from Austin's South by Southwest Festival to open up to fans about how a kid from Compton came up through the ranks to create one of 2012's most acclaimed albums, _good kid, m.A.A.d city_. Leave your questions for Kendrick using #kendricklamarhangout for a chance to have it answered on air. #kendricklamarhangout #kendricklamar #gkmc #poeticjustice #sxsw *About the Hangout* +Kendrick Lamar was a kid growing up in Compton in the 1990s, trying to stay out of trouble. By 16, he'd recorded his first mixtape, under the name K. Dot. 2012's good kid, m.A.A.d city, Lamar's major label debut album, is a sprawling masterpiece of technical rapping and structured storytelling that defies and expands the conventions of his genre.

Is Bitcoin Becoming More Stable Than Gold?
Digital gold is starting to look slightly more stable than its physical counterpart.
Since its inception several years ago, bitcoin has seen wild prices swings as advocates have tried to establish the nascent technology as a widely-used digital currency. But for the past three weeks, the price volatility of bitcoin has remained below or equal to that of safe-haven gold, according to data analysis from FactSet and CoinDesk.
The last 24 days mark the longest period in which bitcoin prices have been less volatile than gold prices, going back to 2010. Some point to the drop as a sign that investor perception of bitcoin is drawing closer to gold as a safe store of value.

Freely available, the software allows any connected device to join the 21 network, enabling connectivity with the 21 Marketplace and providing capabilities that were previously only available to owners of the 21 Bitcoin Computer.
Srinivasan told the audience:
"What we think is that there is going to be a third Web, the Machine Web, where the links are actually payments between machines."

Combined, OpenBaazar and OB1, the development firm that supports the platform, won three of the five awards offered on Monday night, including 'Best New Startup', 'Bitcoin Champion of the Year' and 'Most Promising Consumer Application'.
The announcement, propelled by CoinDesk reader voting, caps off what has been a few months of significant momentum for the OpenBazaar platform. Launching in April, the platform, long compared to defunct dark market Silk Road, has quickly gained traction from buyers and merchants.

Craig Wright Claims He Will Move Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin 'In the Coming Days'
Yesterday, Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright announced that he was the elusive creator of Bitcoin. His proclamation was immediately met with an avalanche of suspicion, with one prominent cryptography expert describing it as "flimflam and hokum." Now, through a spokesman, Wright has promised that further proof for his claims is coming.
The spokesman told the BBC that Wright would "move a coin from an early block" of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto's "in the coming days." The spokesman didn't provide a more specific timeline.

Australian tells BBC he created bitcoin, but some skeptical
Australian tech entrepreneur Craig Wright told the BBC that he was the creator of controversial digital currency bitcoin, but some scepticism remained about the identity of a person who until now has gone by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The BBC reported on Monday that Wright gave some technical proof demonstrating that he had access to blocks of bitcoins known to have been created by bitcoin's creator.
Unmasking Nakamoto could be significant for the future of bitcoin, a computer-generated, digital alternative to other currencies that has attracted the interest of banks, speculators, criminals and regulators.
Researchers believe Nakamoto may be holding up to one million bitcoins, which is worth about $440 million, and the price of the cryptocurrency could plunge if that was to be unloaded.... more »

Lost $136,000 in Bitcoin? This Mining Pool is Looking for You
A bitcoin transaction with a 291 BTC fee worth $136,700 was processed as part of block 409,008 on the bitcoin network today, sparking speculation as to the nature of what many are considering a colossal error by an unknown user.
The fee, one of many sent daily to pay bitcoin's mining network for processing, managed to draw attention on social media due to its notable size. The average cost to clear a transaction on the bitcoin network was 31 satoshis, or roughly $0.01 at press time, a factor providing evidence of a potentially erroneous transaction.
Now, bitcoin mining pool BitClub, which claims to operate two mining locations in Iceland, has sent an email to users in which it asserted that it mined the block. BitClub said it earned a total of 316 BTC (or about $147,000) in fees, the figure equalling the f... more »

Fold Relaunches Card for Cash: Trade Gift Cards for Bitcoin
Matt Luongo, the founder of Fold, and his team are known for creating an app that lets you spend bitcoins at large retailers such as Starbucks, Target and Whole Foods for a discount. Today they have returned to their roots by re-launching another product they created for the space, to help people earn bitcoins from their gift cards.
The product is called Card For Coin and in a statement to Bitcoin Magazine, Luongo explains that it is a re-release of their first release, originally launched in 2014.
Since 2014, the team spent more time focusing on developing the consumer side of their other business, which they called Coin for Coffee, until it was rebranded to Fold when the scope of the app broadened to niches other than coffee. Now, Luongo tells Bitcoin Magazine that the team is "excited to revamp their f... more »

Airbnb just acquired a team of bitcoin and blockchain experts
Home-rental company Airbnb has "acqui-hired" the majority of the team behind ChangeCoin, a startup that runs a bitcoin-based micropayments service, according to four people with knowledge of the deal.
The alternative lodging site has been looking at a few bitcoin and blockchain startups, according to two sources, to study what the technology could do for its services. Companies like Uber and Airbnb are built on their ability to manage supply and demand, which could be aided by a powerful, open ledger system like blockchain.

Storj Labs Launches Beta
Storj Labs, the distributed object storage company, is launching a beta version of the Storj platform today at the Impact Hub in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Storj enables software developers to push and pull data for their applications on a decentralized network. The data is stored by a community of "farmers", who rent their unused disk space to the network in exchange for compensation in a cryptocurrency called Storjcoin. The company was born out of the open-source Storj project, in which a large community of developers joined forces to build the most efficient, decentralized cloud by using the blockchain as a backend.
The beta announcement has been highly-anticipated around the world. The community built around the open-source project has been actively contributing code, testing and providing feedback on platform features for nearly two years to ... more »

See Bitcoin change hands in real-time with this beautiful transaction visualizer
Unless you're using cryptocurrencies already, it's hard to know just how much Bitcoin changes hands online.
A new WebGL project called Bitbonkers visualizes Bitcoin transactions from the blockchain using 3D shapes that land on a tile in space.
The cubes represent blocks or collections of transaction records and their size varies depending on the number of bytes it contains. The colored balls represent transactions of different denominations.

Barclays backs 'social payments app' Circle as it launches in UK
Barclays has become the first big British bank to form a partnership with a digital currency firm, social payments app Circle, which runs partly on bitcoin's blockchain network and launched in the UK on Wednesday.
In what Britain's Treasury called a "major milestone" in its push to make the UK the world's capital for financial technology, or fintech, Circle was granted an e-money licence by the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK watchdog - another first for a digital currency company.
The Boston-based start-up, which is backed by $76 million in venture capital and counts Goldman Sachs and investment firm Digital Currency Group among its investors, said the licence would allow it to hold users' money and to facilitate domestic and international payments.

Opendime disposable hardware wallets sold out in two days
Opendime has created a small, disposable, USB device that must be physically broken in order to spend any funds kept on it, creating a whole new niche for bitcoin wallets. The inexpensive tool can store any amount of bitcoin, with the option to add more over time.
"Give an Opendime to anyone and they don't need to worry that you can take back the funds later," Opendime's website says. "You've got the private keys in the device."
It's far safer to receive an Opendime than a paper wallet. The private key, held inside the device, is generated in a secure zone that isn't accessible to anyone, even the originator, until the wallet is physically broken open.

The venture-backed startup, best known as a provider of enterprise tools focused on the bitcoin blockchain, was among 10 new firms to joinHyperledger last week, a move that followed more informal work with its members to discern its technical vision. Blockstream is notably one of the largest contributors of funding for Bitcoin Core, the ecosystem's largely volunteer development community.
In statements, Allen struck an inclusive tone, noting that he hopes to position Blockstream as a leader in an ecosystem that has increasingly embraced other block... more »

How Moderators and Dispute Resolution Work in OpenBazaar
OpenBazaar helps prevent fraud by having buyers send their bitcoins into a 2-of-3 multisignature address controlled by the buyer, seller, and a trusted third party. This third party offers dispute resolution in case something goes wrong. These third parties offer their services on an open marketplace.
Because OpenBazaar is a decentralized network for trade it has a very different system for moderation and dispute resolution than existing ecommerce platforms.
Traditional centralized ecommerce platforms (Amazon, eBay, Etsy, etc) have dispute resolution built into their service to reduce fraud and scams. The companies listen to disputes from a buyer or seller, make a decision to determine which party they side with, and then take action to reward the winning party or penalize the losing party. Since they control... more »

Mason Borda Orders a Tesla with Bitcoin
Anything can be bought with bitcoin. BitGo's Mason Borda has pre-ordered a Tesla Model 3 by paying for it in bitcoin.
It is now possible to buy anything with bitcoin. Starting with something as simple as a pizza worth $10 to a brand new high tech electric automobile. Bitcoin has come a long way since it was first introduced in 2008. When it was first introduced, the idea behind it was well appreciated as it solved the double spending problem which was plaguing the computer scientists for a long time.
The blockchain technology used by bitcoin allows the protocol to keep a record of all the transactions happening over the network and prevent the same digital token from being used twice (double-spend). Since its introduction, the use of Bitcoin technology has grown beyond just digital currency. The Bitcoin technology is now... more »

Lightning Network Should Be Ready This Summer
Bitcoin's saving grace for scalability (at least in the eyes of the vast majority of Bitcoin Core contributors) should be ready for use this summer.
The Lightning Network, which is a generalized network of payment channels that enables instant bitcoin transactions with practically no fees, could be live as soon as this summer. This new protocol layer built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain has received a lot of attention and hype over the past couple of years, and a fix for transaction malleability via Segregated Witness has resolved some of the code and design complexities involved with the network.
Lightning Network co-creator Joseph Poon recently supplied some comments to CoinJournal in regards to the current status of the project and when it will be available for general use. Poon claimed a functional version of the L... more »

Bitcoin Wallet Startup Now Extending Credit to Users
Bitcoin payments startup BitPagos is now giving its wallet users access to credit through its Ripio wallet offering.
At launch, the offering will be available to a select number of users in Argentina, who will be able to borrow between $500 and $1,000 in bitcoin directly from the service, with credit extended based on the user's annual salary. Users would then pay back the loan in three or six-month installments, plus interest.
Ripio and BitPagos CEO Sebastian Serrano said his team is seeking to make the digital currency more accessible for online consumers.

Mozilla co-founder's ad-blocking Brave browser will pay you bitcoin to see safe ads
Brave, a new privacy and speed-focused web browser helmed by Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich, has a plan to get you to unblock ads.
First announced in January, Brave is a web browser for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android that has ad blocking built in. But instead of eliminating ads entirely, Brave wants to replace them with speedier, non-intrusive ads from its own network. Users who agree to see these ads will then get paid in bitcoin.
Under this plan, advertisers pay for a certain number of impressions, and Brave aggregates those payments into one sum. Websites that participate in the scheme get 55 percent of the money, weighted by how many impressions are served on their sites. Brave then divvies up the remaining bitcoin between itself, its ad-matching partner, and the us... more »

Court Takes Control of Digital Currency Exchange Cryptsy
A Florida court has frozen the assets of the digital currency exchange Cryptsy and placed it under receivership, months after it collapsed amid claims that it had been the target of a hack.
The court-appointed monitor, James Sallah, was selected after a request by the plaintiffs in a class action law suit filed against the exchange in January.
That lawsuit stemmed from problems with customer fund withdrawals that had worsened for months before withdrawals and trading activities were suspended entirely. Prior to its shutdown, Cryptsy said that it had outstanding customer liabilitiesof nearly $10m in bitcoin.

Decentralized Bitcoin Market OpenBazaar is Now Live
The developers of OpenBazaar, the decentralized e-commerce protocol, have released the first live version of the software.
Now available for download, OpenBazaar enables peer-to-peer digital commerce, with bitcoin used as a payment method – akin to a distributed eBay-style marketplace that uses the digital currency. OpenBazaar grew out of an earlier project called DarkMarket which aimed to facilitate decentralized online commerce.
The release comes after a public testing period that saw a variety of storefronts created using the experiment-focused bitcoin testnet for transactions. The developers said today that this test period resulted in more than 25,000 downloads worldwide (across 126 countries) and more than 3,000 vendors created.

Fred Wilson, Reid Hoffman Back MIT's $900k Bitcoin Developer Fund
MIT announced today it has raised $900,000 to fund the work of three bitcoin developers.
The Bitcoin Developer Fund, backed by venture capitalist Fred Wilson, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and others is intended to give the three bitcoin coders working to resolve the block-size debate and other similar technical challenges an academic platform from which to work.
MIT's Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) director Brian Forde said the university's role in helping support these coders is just part of the academic community's responsibility to create a place where bitcoin's developers can continue their work.

Coinkite Web Wallet is shutting down
You may have noticed that our pace of new feature blog postings has decreased to a trickle, compared to the frantic pace set three years ago when we started Coinkite.
We are incredibly proud of serving thousands of businesses and customers, transacting billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin, but today we're announcing that we are moving to the next phase at Coinkite.
We are winding down the web wallet part of Coinkite so that our team can focus on a number of new products that are more decentralized and embodied as hardware products. We're still big Bitcoin fans, supporters and Hodlrs, and although Coinkite has been great adventure in the SaaS business, we want to spend more time where our heart is, hardware products, software-"not-as-a-service", and other exciting new possibilities.

New York Bitcoin User Charged With Unlawful Money Transmission
A New York man has been charged with operating an unlawful money transmitting business in connection with the sale of bitcoins, the US Department of Justice announced on Friday.
The government said last week that it was charging Rochester, New York, resident Richard Petix with illegally selling $200,000 in bitcoin between August 2014 and December of last year. Notably, the report does not provide information on any state-specific laws Petix was in violation of when conducting the sale.
Petix's charges, the Justice Department said, are connected to a wider alleged scheme that involved money laundering as well as the trafficking of controlled substances and stolen goods.

Roger Ver Issues $100k Bitcoin Bounty for Bernie Sanders Debate
Roger Ver has offered US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders $100,000 in the form of a bitcoin donation he'll make in his name to a charity if he'll engage in a debate with Iraq War veteran and talk show host Adam Kokesh.
The offer made in a video posted to Kokesh's YouTube channel is in response to video posted by the Occupy Democrats in which Sanders talks about wealthy US citizens renouncing their citizenship.
"Your policies are clearly intended to help," Ver, a bitcoin angel investor and advisor to wallet service Blockchain, said in the video. "But it seems you don't see how they are backed up by violence."

|9 people marked this as a favorite.
Wow, definitely shows how things can be different for everyone. All my warhammer fantasy and battletech friends have been cool, clean, and fun to be with. Of course warhammer fantasy is now history unfortunately. XD
Sorry to say I am probably the reason for three peoples worst in- game experience. It was pre-pathfinder in the days of living greyhawk in a game store down in lacey,washington.
I had not been able to play very often as the army had different plans for my time and location, but I was finally was able to go. Played my favorite class the ranger for a quick scenario and used the proceeds to buy potions. In the afternoon game I joined a second table with four players, three of which were a group of friends together and a fourth was the keep to himself kind of guy.
1. This dude splits the party and then starts an encounter with just me and him in room. His paladin leaves me to solo the encounter. I get merced of course.
2. Guys Paladin comes back to room after the rest of the party has arrived and defeated the encounter. The other three players are looting the enemy and not paying attention. This is important.
3. Guy asks if my dead character has anything good on him, specifically potions. Now a game is game and I dont let it get to me usually but this dude irritated me to an extent that I let it bother me.
4. The stores owner is a very nice lady and has rules about what you can say in this store, mainly like abstain from anything you would not want a kid to hear, etc. She is nice and usually I respect the environment she sets at the store.
5. So instead of telling him to shove the potions up his a##, I say "yeah dude there is three but they are suppositories." He asks what that means, I say they can tell you and walk off to get a bite to eat. I don't think anything of it and presume he knows I am just being salty.
6. I come back later to the gaming area to see that the game is still going on but all the nearby tables have stopped playing their game and are intently observing this one and laughing hysterically. The GM was in tears holding laughter and the three friends are very much not amused.
7. The fourth guy had triggered multiple encounters and in a panic had began "rendering" the healing potions to the three players. Apparently he had asked what suppositories were and they told him and thought nothing of it. well...........
8.they were not happy to see me after the paladin had pulled their characters pants down mid fight and assisted in keeping them up. It did not get better when I said I did not really mean for him to believe it.
9. I bought dinner for those three dudes later that night.

They allow 3 hours at Machu Picchu. Is that enough time or ridiculously short?

Although it's an easy trip to do on your own - t's a great price - where do you see only 3 hours at Machu Picchu? Many people leave very early from Cusco and return at the end of the day which should give you about 5-6 hours in MP.
Report Abuse
You can ask a question on the Groupon page and someone asked how long the group would be there. The answer was 3 hours. Would you consider that way too short a time?
I heard there is an altitude medication. Do most people recommend that?
Report Abuse
As mentioned I think for a day tripper it's usually about 5 or 6 hours in MP - I might follow up on that Groupon comment and ask Gate 1 directly as this is a pretty standard tour on their website and 3 hours sounds low.
It looks like the deal is basically discounting the air portion
Re altitude medication - it's called Diamox (I think it's basically a diuretic). We took it and had no problems with the altitude. The biggest thing we were told was not to drink caffeine or alcohol in the first 24-36 hours. But it is somewhat unpredictable who will be affected by altitude. A marathon runner might have problems and a pack a day smoker might sail through. Have you been at altitude before?

Great trip. Basic hotels. I stayed at the Jose Antonio in Cuzco. Everything you need is included. Great way to see Peru. Bonus is the first day you land in Cuzco you go to the Sacred Valley, which takes you down in elevation and will help if you are feeling it. Remember, Cuzco is actually a higher elevation than the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. People think you go "up" to MP but you don't. You can take Diamox but I would just drink Coca Tea instead. Most hotels offer it for free. And stay hydrated. You will love it.

Thanks for the info!
I've been to the Jungfraujoch in Switzerland and had no problem, but of course that was only for a few hours.
