CHARLESTON (AP) - Cutting out violent media and entertainment and placing armed guards at schools could help make them safer, a violence expert told school and law enforcement officials on Wednesday.
Speaking at a summit on school safety, retired Army Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, an expert on human aggression and the roots of violence, pushed simple, inexpensive solutions, such as implementing lockdown plans, locking doors and shatter-proofing windows. He also called for more controversial tactics like placing armed guards in schools and imposing strict dress codes that ban baggy pants.
He said violent movies and video games teach children from an early age to associate violence and killing with pleasure and rewards. He called for the creation of no media-violence zones in schools, with a moratorium on violence in art and writing.
Grossman spoke in harsh, ominous terms to a packed auditorium to try to encourage action to prevent school violence.
"Sandy Hook is just the beginning," Grossman said, referring to the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which a gunman killed 26 students and faculty. "They're coming to our daycare centers, they're coming to our buses, they're coming to our Little League games."
Grossman said that no American child has died in a school fire in 50 years because school officials have prepared for fires, but that they have failed to do the same to prevent school violence.
"We prepare, prepare, prepare for fire," Grossman said, mentioning the ubiquity of fire alarms, fire drills, extinguishers and sprinklers. "But what have we done to prepare for violence? Our children are more likely to die by violence in school than every other cause put together."
He urged communities to decide for themselves whether their schools need more security, but said that unarmed security is not a viable option.
"Never call an unarmed man security," he said. "Call him a Wal-Mart greeter if you want, but don't fool yourself into thinking you're safe because you find an unarmed man and call him security."
Sheri Hoff, the director of attendance for Jefferson County's schools, said they already were practicing a number of school safety policies. She said that they have had school lockdown codes for eight years and that they continue to work on ways, like shoving desks in front of doors, for teachers to secure classrooms. Hoff also said it was important to distinguish between trained, armed law enforcement officers at schools, and more generic armed guards.
"An armed guard is the rent-a-cop that you get who walks around, the law enforcement officer is trained not only in laws but also to work with children specifically in their environment," Hoff said.

Wow, that game certainly stunk!
By the way, I don't think it's the end of the season.
Who are the other two wins for Texas tech the last two years?
TCU was one
Oklahoma and TCU
That was embarassing. I would say I hope they learn from this but if they hadn't learned from the Iowa game or TCU game, they aren't going to learn from this.
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.
We have a habit of giving a game to someone that doesn't deserve it.
Every year.
Pathetic effort tonight!!! We are officially not a top tier team but a middle of the pack team with hopes of being a one of the top teams.
A few of our guys don't care so why should I. Excited for Thomas and Monte to get here. I'm sick of korie, will, and booker.
Need 12 Big 12 wins at this point to make the tourney.
End of the season? Oh. Dear. God.

there was 3000 people there...we lost. we are soft and shoot 3's. We are going to lose games like that once in awhile. when we hit 3s we will be top 10. when we don't.....we suck.

|Sunrise Heights residents announce winners of Christmas lights contest
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 28 December 2012 23:27
Donny and Karen Allen's home won first place in the Sunrise Heights of Wauneta Christmas Lights Contest.
By Sheri Hink
The Wauneta Breeze
There were so many amazing Christmas light displays this year in Wauneta that the residents of Sunrise Heights of Wauneta had a tough time judging them.
Karla Lipska, Sunrise Heights staff coordinator of the event, said, "There were a lot of awesome lights and this year was the hardest for the residents to judge!"
Lipska took two trips with a total of 18 residents out on Monday, Dec. 17 to judge the lights around town.
The caravans of judges went all around town and up on the hill. The residents conferred together and chose their favorite three light displays.
After careful consideration and, no doubt, a little debating...the winners were named.
Donny and Karen Allen's home was given the honor of first place in the contest. Their display consisted of all white lights and their porch was wrapped up like a present. Two Christmas trees, also done in all white lights, were visible through their upstairs windows.
Second place went to Kelly and Dee McCallum. The focal center of their display was two giant lit candy canes, which formed an arbor over their sidewalk. Deer and trees made of lights framed the rest of their snow-covered lawn.
Third place honors were given to Terry and Raina Lasater for their jovial, and colorful display of snowmen, teddy bears, dancing lights and old-fashioned lampposts.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State will close out the month of January with a trip to Austin, Texas, to face Texas on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m., at the Frank Erwin Center. K-State will look to secure its first three-game win streak in Big 12 action since Jan. 4-17, 2012.
Saturday afternoon's game can be seen live on the Longhorn Network and will be called by Fran Harris and Debbie Antonelli. Check local listings for availability in your area. This will be the 174th K-State women's basketball game to be broadcast on television. K-State holds an all-time record of 105-68 (.607) in televised games.
The game will also be available on the K-State Sports Network with the award-winning Brian Smoller delivering the play-by-play and former Wildcat letterwinner Kristin Waller providing the color analysis. Fans can also follow the free live stats at kstatesports.com and receive updates on Twitter by following @kstate_gameday.
With the aid of a school record performance from behind the 3-point line, Kansas State (12-7, 3-4 Big 12) upset No. 12/11 Oklahoma State on Wednesday night at Bramlage Coliseum, 76-70, in overtime. The win was the first overtime win for the Wildcats since defeating No. 9/8 Texas A&M, 71-69, on Jan. 4, 2012. The win marked K-State's 71st against a ranked opponent and the fifth against a team ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press poll.
K-State, playing with seven active players, saw four players reach double digits in scoring led by 2013 All-America candidate Brittany Chambers with a game-high 26 points, including 19 in the first half to jump start the Wildcats. With her point total, the senior from Jordan, Minn., passed Laurie Koehn (2001-05; 1,733) on the K-State career scoring list with 1,747 points.
Chambers led a K-State attack from beyond the arc that tallied a school record 16-of-41 for the night. The 16 conversions set the school mark, the Bramlage Coliseum record and ranks tied for ninth in Big 12 history for three-point field goals made in a game. It was also tied for the fifth-highest 3-point field goals made this season in the nation and tied for the most in the Big 12. Chambers was responsible for six and moved into second in school history and a tie for second in Big 12 history for three-point field goals made in a career with 287.
Joining Chambers in double figures were sophomore Haley Texada with 15 points, Mariah White with 11 and Heidi Brown with a career-high 10 off the bench. Texada pulled in seven rebounds, dished out five assists and pocketed four steals. White dished out five assists and tallied a K-State season-high and a career-best seven steals.

It is going to be a monumental occasion you don't want to miss when the Hot Rod Power Tour rolls into Bowling Green this summer! For the first time in Power Tour history, this stop will be at a regional airport where the colorful sea of hot rods meets blue skies. The Bowling Green/Warren County Regional Airport, site of the area's largest annual festival, has enthusiastic and experienced staff to take this Power Tour stop to new heights.
With hot rods covering the ground, the folks in Bowling Green are covering the air with various aircraft on static display. One of these planes, a 1950's F9F Panther, will be making its debut at the Power Tour. Other lofty ventures include a hot air balloon on site for possible photo opportunities.
Participate in games and activities throughout the day and take in a little hometown flavor from local vendors. Check out some rather noteworthy cars scheduled to cruise in and chat with some of the local car crazies. Feel the hospitality from community mascots and get lucky in Kentucky with giveaways including gift certificates and passes to area restaurants, shops, and attractions.
Tuesday night, cruise downtown by a newly restored 1921 Standard Oil Station then pass the Bowling Green Hot Rods stadium before heading out to Beech Bend Raceway for some drag and oval fun racing. Some of hot rodding's finest have burned rubber on this asphalt. Of course, no trip to Bowling Green would be complete without a visit to the 115,000 square foot National Corvette Museum, so they are extending their hours just for Power Tour participants. Full of history, interactive exhibits, and 80 Corvettes on display, the day will end with visions of chassis dancing in your head.
Bowling Green, Kentucky knows a thing or two about automotive enthusiasts-it has been home to the GM Corvette Assembly Plant since 1981. The National Corvette Museum opened right across the street in 1994, offering an entertaining glimpse at America's favorite sports car. However, long before the Corvette came to town, dragsters knew the name Bowling Green because of Beech Bend Raceway.
The city is hosting more than two dozen special automotive events in 2010 featuring everything from Corvettes and hot rods to Buicks, muscle cars, dragsters, Harleys and more. Add in scenic drives through gentle hills and farmland, plus the area's new professional Minor League baseball team, the Bowling Green Hot Rods, and car buffs have plenty of reasons to get rolling to Bowling Green!
Adding to the transportation theme, other first-class attractions include the Historic Railpark and Train Museum featuring a two-story interactive museum plus vintage railcars on static display out on the tracks, and Aviation Heritage Park, an outdoor plaza dedicated to distinguished aviators of South Central Kentucky. Currently on display is an F-4D Phantom flown in the Vietnam War. Also home of Holley Performance Products, there is certainly a need for speed throughout this region.
There's more to the city than just these boy toys, however! Ladies enjoy the charm of downtown Fountain Square Park with eclectic restaurants, a professional salon, art galleries, and specialty shops. Tour a Victorian mansion at Riverview at Hobson Grove or tempt the taste buds at the Kentucky Museum's 'Recommended by Duncan Hines' exhibit. Kentucky's only underground boat tour wows visitors of all ages at Lost River Cave & Valley, or take a break down on the farm at one of several agritourism destinations.
The Convention & Visitors Bureau is there to help plan your perfect adventure at or by calling www.visitbgky.com 800-326-7465.
Enjoy citywide fun for everyone, outstanding accommodations, eclectic shops, unique dining and a variety of world class attractions. And when you're ready to soak in some nature, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas.
Experience the Tennessee Aquarium, the Delta Queen Riverboat, Civil War Trails, Incline Railway, Rock City Gardens, Ruby Falls, the Tennessee Valley Railroad and the Chattanooga-Chickamauga National Military Park. You will find that, along with these great attractions and others, Chattanooga also has a wealth of civil war history, great restaurants, special festivals and events, free concerts, and shopping. Come spend the night and see for yourself.
Choose from romantic and historic Bed and Breakfast inns, Chattanooga hotels that are family-friendly as well as for the business and convention traveler, rustic cabins and much more.
Chattanooga's variety of dining options will tempt you with everything from BBQ to hand-dipped chocolate truffles, or animal cracker ice cream. Get your "Meat and Three" or feast on seafood like sauteed Hawaiian Walu. Find a diverse wine selection and imaginative cuisine at one of Chattanooga's fine dining establishments.

The adrenaline rush of meeting our readers, seeing the endless variety of car creations (many inspired by the magazine's articles), and leading the most awe-inspiring parade of cool cars through town after town-well, there is nothing that even comes close for us. On the Power Tour, Hot Rod comes to life--literally! For 2010 we'll wind our way through some of the most beautiful countrysides in America. Every day, a new vista will fill our windshields. We'll begin in the nation's breadbasket, and then wander through Bluegrass Country to the mountains of Tennessee, then on through the Deep South before ending up in the beautiful Gulf port of Mobile. We can't wait to meet everyone in Newton, start checking out the rides, and get rolling down the road!"

CRISFIELD, Md. (The Daily Times) - City residents who spent a frightening night trapped in their homes by rising flood waters were moved to safety Tuesday morning during a door-to-door search and rescue operation manned by local firefighters, police and Maryland National Guard troops.
"This is the storm of the century," said Mayor Percy Purnell. "Nobody expected it."
The situation was made worse when the power went out and then the pumps on the public water system failed.
The rescue operation began Monday afternoon shortly after high tide when water from Tangier Sound was pushed by Sandy into Crisfield's streets where it reached depths of 5 feet in some places, said Somerset County Administrator Doug Taylor. The search was suspended at dark, then resumed early Tuesday morning.
All morning long, residents in flooded houses were picked up by National Guard trucks, then transferred to school buses and driven to the shelter at Washington High School in Princess Anne. A few with health problems or injuries were taken to the hospital.
There were no deaths reported.
"We're doing our best to get people out," said City Councilwoman LaVerne Johnson. "A lot of people were really scared last night. I've been here my whole life and I've never seen it this bad."
County officials said Gov. Martin O'Malley planned to visit Crisfield this morning to see the damage firsthand.
Throughout the night, 911 operators were swamped with calls for help from Crisfield and other waterfront areas of Somerset County, including water rescues from houses and stranded vehicles, trees that had fallen on houses and at least three house fires.
Property damage was visible all over Crisfield on Tuesday morning after the water began to recede and the sun came up. The Crisfield Police Department lost its roof halfway through the storm, and the City Dock received significant damage.

I would like to have a map of a city that is featured in my novel. I am aware that city maps require quite a bit of detail and therefore cost more. Im not actually sure how much more, but I can budget up to $1000 for this map (via Paypal or Dwolla). Further, there is the possibility I will need to commission other maps (up to 2-3 more) in the next year or so as this series progresses (one or two of them would be smaller city maps, and one would probably be more like a fantasy realm map that includes this city and 2 others).
The current map is something that one of my novels characters draws over a span of years, and its supposed to take up an entire wall, but I would like to talk to a knowledgeable person about how to reduce the scale/detail to something that could be viewed comfortably on a computer screen without making the viewer's eyes cross.
Its a modern city, but a very unusual one (the novel is an urban fantasy, and the city is a purgatory of sorts). It is vast (maybe 500x500 blocks--50x50miles-- though I dont want it to be a square grid), but almost purely residential (no hospitals or utilities, for example). There is a central downtown section with very tall skyscrapers, and I imagine the blocks would be smaller near the center of the city and less "filled in" or developed around the edges.
For the most part, I think it can be mostly streets (without names/labels), but Id like to have approximately 4-5 major buildings/landmarks drawn in and labeled (in Yiddish; I will have to provide the text), possibly at a slightly larger scale that draws the eye to them. There will be maybe 8-10 other locations that can be labeled very simply but dont need to be bigger than the other blocks.
I have a (pathetic) MS paint file where I have laid out where the major landmarks are located, but the rest of the city should be a semi-chaotic mass of streets that looks like it has grown from the center outwards. Its not a planned city, but rather one that has grown like an organism and gets bigger as the years go by. The city is walled, with a set of gates at the southern edge, but it might be okay to have the edges of the map be faded or torn in some places so the boundaries are not entirely clear.
The map itself needs to look like its hand-drawn, like in ink or pencil, possibly with a few places crossed out or redrawn, possibly some sections more faded or changed than others. It shouldnt look like a work of art, more like the work of a precise individual who uses the map for practical purposes. It would be neat if the background texture could look like plain parchment or heavy paper, and if the edges are curled or, as described above, faded or torn in some spots. It should look like an enormous map someones tacked on the wall.
Time Constraints
The novel comes out in the fall, but this map will only be featured on the website, which I hope will be up sometime in May. It would be fantastic to have this map ready to go by that time. However, this whole novel publication thing has a billion moving parts, so Im certainly willing to negotiate a timetable with someone who is capable of doing this kind of work.
I think, just to be on the safe side, Id like to have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his/her portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
I've lurked on this site for awhile, and it's obvious to me there are many very knowledgeable individuals here, so if anyone also wants to advise me regarding the reasonableness of this project, that would be welcomed, as I'm not completely sure this is the kind of map folks here do. I'm open to hearing advice or suggestions or clarifying questions!
If anyone is interested, I can be contacted at sarah (dot) e (dot) fine (at) gmail.com. I'd like to see finished samples of work or a portfolio and to discuss the timetable and other details of the project, including the budget/rates. I am happy to pay part of the commission up front.

For the Intelligencer
SHADYSIDE - Shadyside has had six undefeated teams in its history, but only one - the 1977 squad - finished the season with a 10-0 record.
Article Photos
Shadyside's Chase Kinemond (5) picks up a block from teammate Ian Baker (24) as Wheeling Central's Nick Naumann (24) closes in during action of their game Friday night in Shadyside.
Ironically, that team was formally honored with a reunion for the first on the same night the Tigers cleared another huge hurdle toward a possible second Friday night.
With 20 members of that squad back at Fleming Field, the current Tigers turned in an opportunistic 14-0 victory against perennial West Virginia power Wheeling Central.
"This is big," Tigers coach Mark Holenka said. "The kids did a heck of a job and we stood up to the test even as we faced a little adversity in the second half."
With all of the hoopla surrounding the reunion, the 2012 Tigers turned in a brilliant defensive performance, limiting the Maroon Knights to 114 yards rushing yards and 208 total. If that wasn't enough, the Tigers forced two turnovers, including a 13-yard scoop and score by Austin Dorris just before halftime.
"We played good defense in crunch time and we made some plays," Holenka said. "In big games, you've got to be able to rise to the occasion, and I thought we did that on both sides of the ball."
The Maroon (4-3) face a more than four-hour bus trip to Mingo Central a week from today.
"We shot ourselves in the foot too many times (Friday night) Central coach Mike Young said. "We've got a young football team with an inexperienced quarterback. Our kids are working like heck, trying to do good things, but we didn't play with a lot of poise at times."
The Knights made their deepest penetration into Tigers territory, until a muffed punt in the fourth quarter, on their first drive when they got to the 36.
The Tigers made a defensive stop when Scott Hammond pounced on the first of three Knights' fumbles.
The game was scoreless after one quarter as the teams traded punts, following the turnover.
Shadyside made the Knights pay on their second possession. Central was called for a roughing the passer on a third-and-long, which gave the Tigers a first down on the 20.
Quarterback Chase Kinemond then hit Dorris in stride, who used his 6-foot, 5-inch frame to stretch the ball across the plane.
Central continued to struggled to get untracked against the Tigers defense.
"Our offense isn't built to where we can afford to fall behind the chains too much," Young said. "We had bad snaps, some poor exchanges or lost yardage. We have to chip away at it."
Wheeling Central's next three possessions resulted in punt, lost fumble and lost fumble, which proved to be the ultimate game changer with Dorris reaching the end zone on the defensive touchdown.
"We got the lead and the defense just hung on for us," Holenka said. "I remember being ahead 10-0 a few years back (at Central) and we were on our way in for our 17th point, but the tide turned with a 100-yard return. We knew we had to play four quarters and we couldn't afford to lose a quarter, which we didn't."
Central only threatened once more the entire night. After Shadyside turned the ball over on its 11, the Knights went out on downs.
"We had good field position and we just didn't take advantage," Young said. "I am disappointed in the loss, but give Shadyside credit because they had a nice scheme. Our heart was in it, but the body, at times, wasn't."
Shadyside limited hard-running Central quarterback C.J. Burch to 80 yards on 25 carries. He did surpass the 1,000-yard mark for the season in the game.
The Tigers, meanwhile, accumulated only 200 yards of offense. Kinemond finished with 103 yards passing on 7 of 13 attempts. Hudson caught five passes for 67 yards. Brooks Ramsey was the Orange's leading rusher with 48 yards on seven tries.
Shadyside's quest for another trip to the Region 21 playoffs, OVAC title, and that possible perfect season resumes next Friday when Buckeye Trail visits.

Hi there,
I am looking for a little guidence to finalise a migration from Exchange 2003 to Zimbra.
My Server Details:
Windows 2003 (MS Exchange 2003 SP2)
Ubuntu 6.0.6 Server (Zimbra 4.5.9)
I have had some success with the migration of accounts but still receive an RPC error which is preventing any further data transferring. If I log on to the Zimbra Admin Console I can see the new account names have been created using the ZCS Migration wizard from Exchange to Zimbra. I can access the accounts via the Zimbra web interface.
I did check to see the RPC service is running on the Exchange 2003 server and it appears to be started and running.
Look forward to hopefully hearing from someone who can answer my problem.
Kindest Regards

Volleyball Down, Up And Out At Pierce Invitational
One way to describe the Pasadena City College women's volleyball team thus far this season is unpredictable. Case in point is the Lancers' performance at the 4th Los Angeles Pierce College Invitational held Sept. 27-28.
The No. 25 Lancers (2-7) pushed state No. 3-ranked Golden West to the brink, but lost in five sets in the opening round. The 18-25, 25-15, 25-8, 23-25, 15-11 defeat was the third time in a week's span that PCC stretched a highly-ranked Orange Empire Conference team to five games.
PCC trailed 23-20 in the fourth set, but rallied with five straight points to send it to the deciding fifth game. Sophomore outside hitter Nora To'omalatai pounded 19 kills and hit .459 in the match. The Lancers recorded 12 aces, four each by letterman setter Tiffany Roesler (and 35 assists), and freshman middle blocker Angela Banuelos (and six kills). Sophomore outside hitter Thula Parks made 10 kills.
On Saturday, the Lancers upended No. 11-rated Bakersfield, sweeping the Renegades, 25-17, 25-21, 25-21. To'omalatai contributed 18 kills while Parks added nine kills. First-year middle blocker Kendra Logan had four kills and three blocks.
At that point, PCC seemed poised to play well in the consolation title match v. host Pierce, unranked but still the three-time, defending CCCAA state champions. In a deja vu moment from a year ago when the Lancers were bounced in the third round of the Southern California Regionals, PCC again was swept by the Brahmas, 25-18, 25-19, 25-18.
Pasadena totaled a paultry 21 kills (eight by To'omalatai) and had a tough defensive match with a season-low 15 digs.
"Hard to believe we can go from the ugly v. Golden West to the good v. Bakersfield to the bad v. Pierce," said PCC interim head coach Bill Sanchez, who feels his team has to find consistency if it hopes to battle for the South Coast Conference title.
"We're right there in terms of competing with some of the best teams in the state. But we have to learn how to finish a team off, which we could not accomplish against Golden West. It was terrific to go five sets with last year's state runner-up, but we were up 1-0 and then fell behind with a truly poor third game. We fought back with a great rally in the fourth, and then we go into bad habits in the fifth. The team gets its confidence back with a nice victory over Bakersfield, and then we simply couldn't gain any kind of momentum in the Pierce loss."
Sanchez says his team has to look forward to SCC play as the Lancers start their 14-match league schedule on Friday, October 4 at LA Harbor College.
"The SCC is going to be a test of how to stay consistent v. some stronger teams while realizing we have to maintain intensity against some of the weaker squads" Sanchez said. "Can we stay focused enough to not just win matches, but play well. This is a sport where you can sweep someone and look bad doing it, but that's not going to help you in the playoffs. We're capable of being a better team than we performed at Pierce. If we show improvement, only good things will happen for us in the conference race."

Fernando Verdasco was spotted at Port Aventura Park in Salou, Spain getting his groove on with a couple of life-sized Woody-Woodpeckers and some choice muppets.
So Nando left his girl Ana for this? Either his sponsors were wielding some serious power or someone's living a secret, possibly very gay, life.
Clay Aiken would be proud.
UPDATE: Nando discussed the "relationship" with Ana at the Port Aventura Park presser. Apparently, they don't know each other very well (duh) and are getting to know each other slowly (yeah, right).
Here's video (in Spanish) of what was said; click here for a translation.

Love the cheestastic photo of Fern!! He's totally hamming it up for the cameras, I love it. As for his comments on Ana, I think this might be the beginning of the end. Why be so mysterious and talk about how you barely know each other unless you want out? Hmm...ReplyDelete
Oh and according to Fern, Feli is single?? Very interesting :)

LOL they are fucking like bunnies, why so hard to confess it? Maybe sponsors want to keep Ana's single image to keep her interesting.ReplyDelete

Reed diffusers in beautiful bottles have become a popular way to scent a room, not only for the enticing aromas they emit, but also to serve as an appealing and soothing decorative accent to any room of the house. With no flame, heat or outlet needed, they are a safe and decorative way to scent a room. The reeds, which stand upright and fan out from the neck of the bottle, naturally absorb the fragrant oils held within to deliver long-lasting, pleasing fragrance. Shop here for home and travel-size diffusers in a variety of aromas, including bergamot, tobacco flower, ylang ylang, lemon verbena, lavender, thyme, white orchid, vanilla, freesia, jasmine, coconut, sugar cane, lemon leaf, ginger, pineapple, mandarin, sweet basil, cilantro and rosemary.
Diffusers are great for every room, at home or at work, and make excellent gifts even for those who seem to have everything. They create a relaxing mood and ambience – things you didn't think you could buy in a bottle! To make your fragrance last longer, flip the reeds around to allow the previously exposed ends to drink from the essential oils and release a new burst of fragrance into your room.

Rep. Alicia Reece, D-Cincinnati, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday asking him to send federal elections monitors to watch over polling in Ohio this November.
Reece's letter points to what she calls potential voter confusion resulting from two federal court decisions over provisional ballots and in-person early voting — decisions that have been appealed by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
"We need to ensure that Ohio has a smooth and fair election this November," Reece wrote in an emailed statement.
"These two federal court decisions are a step in the right direction for voters in Ohio, but the appeals processes are confusing for voters. The presence of federal elections monitors will help restore the integrity of the voting process. The entire country is looking at Ohio."
The first court decision ruled that county boards of elections must count certain defective ballots if the mistakes were caused by poll worker error. U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered Husted to issue provisional ballot envelopes with a checklist for poll workers to follow.
Husted has argued that allowing those ballots to be counted conflicts with existing Ohio law that does not allow defective provisional ballots to be counted.
The second court decision required Husted to allow in-person early voting for the three days leading up to the Nov. 6 election.
Husted had issued a directive to all 88 Ohio counties to not allow voting on those days, and then ordered county boards to suspend in-person early voting while he appealed the court's ruling. He rescinded that order after the judge ordered him to appear in court in regards to the directive.
Reece was joined by area clergy and community leaders to announce the letter in a Wednesday morning news conference.
Meanwhile unemployment in Cincinnati dropped to 7.5 percent in August, down from 8.2 percent in July. Unemployment in Hamilton County dropped to 6.8 percent in August, down from 7.3 percent. The Greater Cincinnati's jobless rate for the month was 6.7 percent, putting it below that of the state (7.2 percent) and the nation (8.1 percent).
Speaking of numbers, a new poll released today shows Obama leading Romney in Ohio – the third such poll in the last four days. The Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times Swing State Poll shows Obama leading Romney 53 to 43 percent in Ohio, and by similar large margins in the battlegrounds of Florida and Pennsylvania.
The typically media-shy Republican Ohio Treasurer and Senate candidate Josh Mandel proposed three new rules for members of the U.S. Congress in a rare Tuesday news conference. He said he wants members of Congress to lose their pensions if they became lobbyists, be limited to 12 years in the House and Senate and not be paid if they failed to pass a budget. Mandel says his opponent, sitting Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, broke his promise to voters that he would only serve 12 years in Congress. Mandel himself promised to fill his entire term as state treasurer, but would leave halfway through if he wins the Senate race.
The governors of Ohio and Kentucky continue to move toward jointly supporting a financing study for a replacement of the functionally-obsolete Brent Spence Bridge, and both governors favor a bridge toll to fund construction. The Kentucky Legislature would have to approve a measure to allow tolling on the bridge.
Forty percent of Hamilton County's septic systems are failing, and homeowners and utilities are arguing over who should foot the $242 million bill. The Enquirer has an analysis of the ongoing battle.
The Associated Press reports that Andy Williams, Emmy-winning TV host and "Moon River" crooner, has died.
The Enquirer is still doing all it can to keep the Lacheys relevant instead of letting them die off like all bad 90s trends like Furby and Hammer pants. The paper blogged that Lachey finished in the bottom three in the first week of the new Dancing with the Stars: All Stars.
Speaking of those replacement NFL refs, apparently some of them were fired by the Lingerie Football League for incompetence. Yes, there are totally unrelated pictures of women playing football.
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.
City Council approved a $29 million plan that will shift $15 million from the Blue Ash airport deal to move utility lines and pipes in order to accommodate for streetcar tracks. The money will be reimbursed if a conflict with Duke Energy is settled in the city's favor. The city is currently trying to resolve the conflict over who has to pay for moving utility lines and pipes. If the city wins out, Duke will have to pay up, and the money from the Blue Ash airport deal will be put back where it belongs. If Duke wins out, that money could be lost forever — a worry Chris Smitherman voiced in the public City Council session. Smitherman, Charlie Winburn and P.G. Sittenfeld voted against the plan, and Roxanne Qualls, Laure Quinlivan, Yvette Simpson, Cecil Thomas, Wendell Young and Chris Seelbach voted for it.
CORRECTION: This blog originally said the entire $29 million plan will be reimbursed by
Duke. Only the $15 million from the Blue Ash airport deal will be
reimbursed if the city wins in the dispute.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted received a failing grade from Voters First Ohio and the Ohio Unity Coalition for the way he's handled the 2012 election. The left-leaning groups criticized Husted for taking away in-person early voting hours that were available in 2008 and issues regarding provisional ballots, wrongful terminations and misleading language on the November ballot.
The Controlling Board unanimously approved $4 million Monday to conduct a study to determine possible funding for the Brent Spence Bridge. The study will look at tolls and the viability of various public-private partnerships to see how the bridge will be paid for.
Jungle Jim's is opening an Eastgate location today, and people are apparently really excited for it.
The state launched a new website to connect Ohio job seekers and opportunities in the energy industry. The website presents opportunities in advanced energy, renewable energy, energy efficiency and gas and oil.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be in southwest Ohio today,
and Obama will be in other parts of the state. The state is typically
considered a must-win for Romney and Ryan, but aggregate polling has looked worse lately for the Republican duo.
Speaking of Romney, he indirectly admitted he'll have to raise taxes on what he considers middle income. Remember when Republicans ran on tax cuts?

Newspapers all around the state — including The Cincinnati Enquirer, which labelled its article an "Enquirer Exclusive" (both The Toledo Blade and Columbus Dispatch ran a story with the same angle as The Enquirer)
— are really excited about a new poll that found Sen. Sherrod Brown
leads Josh Mandel in the U.S. senatorial race for Ohio's seat by 7
percent. But the poll only confirms what aggregate polling has been
saying for a while now.
Contrary to the claims of Mitt Romney's campaign, President Barack Obama does care about the work requirements in welfare-to-work reform. In fact, Obama is disapproving of Ohio's program, which his administration says has not enforced work requirements stringently enough. However, most of the blame is going to former Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, not Gov. John Kasich, a Republican.
The University of Cincinnati received a $3.7 million grant to increase the participation of women in science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. The grant comes from the National Science Foundation, a federal entity that funds science. The grant could help current problems with science research. One recent study found scientists prefer to hire male students over female students, pay male students more and spend more time mentoring men over women.

City Council will host a special session today to get public feedback and work on the new deal meant to prevent further streetcar delays. The meeting will be at 10:30 a.m. at City Council Chambers, City Hall room 300, 801 Plum St.
Ohio is a swing state, which means we get a lot of political ads during the campaign season. Are you tired of them? Well, politicians don't seem to care. In 2008, both parties ran a combined total of 42,827 ads between April and September. In the same time period this year, the parties have run 114,840.
Citizens for Common Sense was formed to support Issue 4 on the November ballot, which changes City Council terms from two to four years.

The study verifies the Peter Principle, which says many people are eventually promoted to positions beyond their competence.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be stopping by Greater
Cincinnati next Tuesday. The campaign stop is part of a three-day bus
tour across Ohio. The state is considered a must-win for Romney's
presidential campaign, but aggregate polling is not friendly to his
prospects in Ohio.

Ohio's unemployment rate remained at 7.2 percent, the same as July and June. The state made gains in leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, financial activities and government, but it had losses in trade, transportation, utilities and educational and health services. Still, Ohio's unemployment rate remains far below the national unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.
City Council is taking action to prevent further delays for the streetcar, but the city says the delay to 2015 is still set. By moving money around, the city will be able to front money to pay for moving utility lines and pipes, but it expects to get the money back eventually. The city says Duke Energy is responsible for moving the lines to accommodate for the streetcar, but Duke says it's the city's duty since the streetcar is the city's project. If the city is right, it gets the fronted money back. If it's wrong, the money is on the taxpayer dime.
The Cincinnati Park Board struck down Park Rule 28, a rule that had come under fire by homeless advocates. The rule allowed the city to put up signs that would immediately enact rules as law. Homeless advocates said the signs allowed Washington Park to make rules that discriminated against the homeless and poor. The dispute led to a lawsuit, which three Over-the-Rhine residents filed on Sept. 4. The city countered by saying they took down the signs weeks before the lawsuit and that the rules were never truly enforced on any individual

Cincinnati plans to avoid a streetcar delay. Despite what the city told CityBeat Monday, it seems the delay was due to the ongoing conflict with Duke Energy, and the city wants to put an end to it. City officials are seeking to set aside $15 million from the recent sale of the Blue Ash Airport to ensure the streetcar stays on track by initially paying for moving utility lines and pipes to accommodate for the streetcar. The money is expected to be recovered once issues with Duke Energy are settled. Expect more details on this story from CityBeat this afternoon. CityBeat previously covered the connections between the Blue Ash Airport sale and streetcar here.
Cincinnati's economic recovery is coming along. In August, Greater Cincinnati home sales hit a five-year high. The 2,438 homes sold were a nearly 16 percent increase from August 2011.

Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are planning an Ohio bus tour next week. The state is considered a must-win for Romney, but recent aggregate polling puts him in a fairly grim position with less than two months to Election Day.
How do nuclear explosions affect beer? The U.S. government apparently found out.
Actress and acclaimed rapper Natalie Portman played up her Cincinnati ties in a Wednesday appearance at the Obama campaign-sponsored Women's Summit at Union Terminal.
The Academy Award-winner said her mother graduated from Walnut Hills High School and her grandfather — Art Stevens — grew Champion Windows in Cincinnati after starting as a door-to-door salesman.
"Because of that, I see President Obama's support of small businesses as so crucial to our economy," Portman said, adding that Obama has cut taxes for small businesses 82 times since taking office.
Portman said the Republican Party and their presidential ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan did not have the best interests of women at heart. She pointed to attacks on the Affordable Care Act's mandates that insurers provide birth control to women and ensure preventative care such as mammogram screenings for breast cancer is covered, as well a bill sponsored by Ryan and embattled congressional candidate Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) that would eliminate all abortion funding except for cases of "forcible rape."
"We need to stand up for ourselves," Portman told the packed auditorium that was crowded with an audience of mostly women. "Our mothers and our grandmothers made giant steps for us. We can't go backwards. We need to go forwards."
Portman was joined by Obama Campaign National Women's Vote Director Kate Chapek, former Ohio first lady Frances Strickland, Ohio Rep. Alicia Reece and Obama campaign volunteer Mary Shelton.
An Ohio Romney rep said the campaign did not have a comment on the Women's Summit, but is hosting a "Women for Mitt" call night featuring former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao in Kenwood on Thursday.
"Ohio women believe in the Romney-Ryan path for America that will result in lower taxes, less spending, less government and more economic growth," said a release from Romney's campaign.
The Obama event on Wednesday catered to women, with Chapek telling the audience she knew how difficult it was for women to get there with jobs and the challenge of getting their kids to school. She framed women's role in the election as a conversation.
"The conversation starts like this: women, turns out, we're not a constituency," Chapek said. "Who knew? Apparently Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, because they don't realize that women are actually a majority in this country."
She told the women gathered to have conversations with their neighbors and friends and encourage them to volunteer at phone banks or knocking on doors.
Strickland talked about the need to reconcile qualities traditionally seen as masculine — like power — with those seen as feminine — like love.
She also took the opportunity to riff on a statement made by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who said political wives were heroes because while they're husbands were on stage in the limelight, they were at home doing things like laundry.
"I even did the laundry last night so I could come here today," Strickland said. "Even (former Gov.) Ted does the laundry."
Summit attendee Ray Boston, a 67-year-old retired writer for AT&T, said Natalie Portman's presence caught his eye.
"I'm a celebrity photo enthusiast," he said. "Nothing's official until I've taken a picture of it."
Boston said he didn't vote in 2008, but felt the upcoming November election was too important to sit out. He said he was leaning toward voting for Obama and liked his health care overhaul, but was opposed to the president's views on gay marriage for religious reasons.
Gwen McFarlin, who works in health care administration, said she was there to support President Obama. She supports his health care overhaul, but thinks it's a first step to further changes.
She said she was encouraged by the diversity of the women in attendance.
"For me, I'm sure the women who are here represent all the world, not one issue," she said. "We're here as a group of women working to empower all the U.S. and the world."
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."
Well, surprise. Most of the Americans who don't pay federal income taxes live in states that polls show are locked in for Mitt Romney. They are down South. Or out in the Southwest, according to Tax Foundation data.
Mississippi has the most filers with no income tax liability. It has voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980. When Obama was on the ballot there in 2008, he only got 43 percent of the popular vote. Yet 45 percent of Mississippi tax filers pay nothing. That tidbit certainly rips a hole in Romney's contention that Obama voters don't pay income taxes — Republican voters appear to be skating as well, and obviously in far larger numbers than Romney suggests.
Our neighbors in Kentucky — who voted early 60 percent GOP over the past three presidential elections — are pretty good at not paying income taxes too. Fewer send checks to the IRS than in West Virginia. Alaska is the outlier — it votes Republican and just 21 percent of its filers don't pay income taxes to Uncle Sam. You betcha, the vast majority of Alaskans do send money to the IRS. Perhaps they write their checks while looking at Russia from their porches.
If you are wondering about Ohio, the state had 5.56 million tax filers. Of that number, some 68 percent paid federal income taxes. We're a swing state that backed Obama in 2008. Clearly, not all the payers were Republicans.
Here is a map with all the data:
The Tax Foundation, a group based in Washington, D.C. that calls itself a nonpartisan research group, produced its state-by-state ranking of non-filers in May 24, 2010. It has been available on the Internet for more than two years, which means it was available long before Romney said Obama's supporters don't pay taxes. This insight gets right to the heart of the matter:
"Nine of the 10 states with the largest percentage of non-payers are in the South and Southwest. In Mississippi, 45 percent of federal tax returns remit nothing or receive money with their federal tax returns; that is the highest percentage nationally. Georgia is next at 41 percent, followed by Arkansas at 41 percent, and Alabama, South Carolina and New Mexico at 40 percent. All of the top 10 ranking states have among the lowest median family incomes in the country."

Providence, RI (Sports Network) - Ryan Boatright led four Huskies in double-
figures with 19 points as the Connecticut Huskies held on to defeat the
Providence Friars in overtime, 82-79, in Big East Conference play at the
Dunkin' Donuts Center.
Boatright shot 3-of-6 behind the 3-point line for the Huskies (14-5, 4-3 Big
East) and accounted for a team-best seven assists. Shabazz Napier and Deandre
Daniels scored 18 points apiece, the latter clearing seven rebounds and
handing out four assists before picking up his fifth personal foul. Omar
Calhoun added 13 points as UConn won its second consecutive game.
For the Friars (10-11, 2-7), LaDontae Henton recorded a double-double off the
bench with 15 points and 13 boards. Vincent Council also recorded a double-
double in a reserve role with 15 points and 10 assists. Kadeem Batts was one
rebound shy of a double-double with a game-high 20 points. Bryce Cotton added
18 points as Providence lost its third game in a row.

from the floor, including 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, en route to a 33-32
advantage at the break.
UConn continued it's solid shooting during the second half, but a layup by
Providence's Henton with 18 seconds remaining tied the contest at 69-69 to
force overtime.
UConn made 2-of-3 from long range and 7-of-8 at the free-throw line, while
holding Providence to a mere 1-of-4 from the floor in overtime, with a

Denmark : Michelin's recommendations
Denmark, which resembles a cockscomb towering above Germany, is part of the geographical and linguistic entity known as Scandinavia, along with Norway and Sweden. Its land mass of 43,069 km² is mainly composed of the Jutland peninsula and its 406 islands divided between the North Sea and the Baltic. The Danish capital is on the northeast coast of the largest of these islands.
Copenhagen, with 1.7 million of the country's 5.3 million inhabitants, has developed into one of Europe's most highly changed cities over the past ten years. The capacity of its airport has doubled, it has acquired a subway system, residential neighbourhoods built in its former docklands, and a magnificent opera on the waterfront. Since the year 2000, Copenhagen has been connected to Malmö, Sweden by the Øresund Bridge, a gigantic16km construction consisting of a suspension bridge, an artificial island and a tunnel. Now the old trading port founded in 1167 has become the hub of one of Europe's most prosperous regions!
From Copenhagen you can explore the large island of Sjaelland, as well as Elsinore and Hillerød castles which inspired Shakespeare, not to mention Roskilde Cathedral . The road bridge takes you on to Fionia where you can visit Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, and the little harbours of Kerteminde and Nyborg.
But the best way to experience the beauty of the Danish countryside is on a bicycle, along the dunes and beaches of Jutland!
