My first laugh of the morning. Well played, IsuAgronomist. Seriously though, I think his jock strap, dignity, and part of his groin are still on the 15 yard line at JTS. That juke move was dirty.
Looking forward to another great game by State! It's good to have the computer & internet up & running again!
Anyone know if the game is on in KC?

All of a sudden, Zimbra Network Edition 4.0.1 is experiencing problems sending mail.
What seems to be happening, is instead of postfix looking up the MX record for outgoing mail, it's only looking up the A record and attempting to send to that. Here's an example:
Sep 25 14:46:18 hickory postfix/qmgr[22523]: 86E2D520004: to=<"someone"@msn.com>, relay=none, delay=5, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to msn.com[18.104.22.168]: Connection timed out)
If you do a ns lookup for the A record of msn.com, you'll see that it's the 188.8.131.52 as above, but the MX records for msn.com are completely different IPs. This just started all of a sudden, and I can't figure out why.

Orbea Ordu Gold $0.00
The classic adage tirelessly rings, 'good things come to those who wait.' Well, patience be damned, in the case of the new Orbea Ordu. After all, we waited, then waited some more, then resigned ourselves to the possibility that we'd be waiting forever. Countless spy shots and missed release dates later, it seemed that the Ordu was destined to be 'vaporware' -- another victim of over-ambition. But, much to the delight of triathletes worldwide, rest assured, the Ordu Gold is indeed here. Additionally, it's benefited greatly from the extra development time that Orbea wisely took. And while the Ordu Gold is radically different than its predecessor, Orbea wasn't quick to dismiss its impressive showcase of results and lessons learned through sponsorship of five-time World Champion Craig Alexander. It wasn't just Alexander's results though -- the Ordu was piloted to victory by numerous athletes at virtually every major international triathlon spanning the last decade. This means that Orbea would have some extremely large shoes to fill in replacing it.
At first glance, it's clear that the Ordu Gold is much more than a re-tooled Ordu of yesteryear. Clean slate in hand, Orbea took designer Ronan Bariou's most fanciful frame blueprints to the A2 wind tunnel in Mooresville, North Carolina to ensure that the paper-to-carbon fiber translation was as fast as possible. Gone from the original Ordu is the signature pointed head tube and triangular seat tube juncture, both in the name of aerodynamic efficiency. Razor-tight wheel clearances and radical tube shapes on the Ordu Gold abound -- which, even without bold down tube branding, make the bike immediately recognizable as a member of the otherworldly Orbea livery. However, none of the tube shapes are as purpose-driven as the fully integrated fork, whose leg depths are four times their width. Translation? This 4:1 fork aspect ratio is not legal in UCI races. While something of a surprise, it conversely means that Orbea has its sights confidently squared upon triathletes whose races are not bound by the 3:1 regulatory standards. For the Euskaltel Euskadi cycling team and the rest of us racing in UCI-sanctioned TT events, however, Orbea will make a separate fork available that dutifully adheres to the UCI rule book. Race legalities aside, Orbea claims a full 30 watt savings at every yaw angle over the previous Ordu, which could net you nearly two minutes of time savings on a 40km course ridden at 25 miles per hour. Stretch that into an Ironman-length bike leg and you're looking at savings of over nine minutes. Ridden under best-case weather scenarios for sure, but the raw energy savings and pure speed delivery of the new Ordu simply cannot be denied.
So, while it's quite clear that Orbea was absolutely dedicated to making the Ordu Gold as fast as (il)legally possible, one even more critical factor remained -- one whose resolution would significantly favor the Ordu Gold over its predecessor. That factor, of course, is the bike's fit. Despite being ridden by an impressive roster of international triathlon talent, the original Ordu was designed around an outdated European-style TT fit which forced taller or shorter riders to re-develop their own positions in order to ride most comfortably and efficiently. A cursory comparison of both iterations of the Ordu reveals an upwardly sloping top tube on the Ordu Gold, and a new, fully-integrated fork and stem. Fit savants might be quick to note that an integration shortens the top tube lengths by nearly two full sizes, but worry not -- each Ordu Gold frame and complete will include four different stems: 75, 90, 100, and 110mm, each measured to offset the difference in top tube length. Not only does this ensure that you're able to naturally dial in your reach, but the stem interface is also designed to vertically pivot. This enables you to find a stack height that works best with your riding position and riding style.
Through the Ordu Gold's stem interchangeability, the bike is able to extend its sizing range to accommodate a significantly wider range of taller riders. However, Orbea has also made an impressive commitment to shorter athletes -- specifically those who ride road bikes smaller than 50cm. And while 700c wheels are typically the bane of smaller bikes, the X-Small Ordu Gold is designed for use with 650c wheels, vastly improving the bike's cornering and handling prowess at speed. 15 Ironman wins and an emphatic Ironman World Championship for the 5ft3in Mirinda Carfrae don't lie -- 650c is the answer for powerful riders of short stature.
In pursuit of either comfort or pure speed, few details on the Ordu Gold have been overlooked. One such design choice, with regards to the latter, is the rear brake. Rather than try to integrate the rear brake into the seatstays, Orbea deduced that the most aerodynamic position for this brake was beneath the bike, where the chainstays meet the bottom bracket. Here, you'll find the aerodynamic TRP TTV RC -- a post-mounted miniature linear-pull brake, similar to those found on certain cyclocross bikes, hidden beneath a fully-integrated aerodynamic shroud. Unlike many brake integrations found on TT bikes, what this brake configuration lacks in carefully calculated modulation it more than makes up for in sheer stopping power. Rest assured, you'll have little trouble slowing this Spanish-bred missile from mach 1 as you converge on your second transition area.
The Ordu Gold is carefully laid from the same cloth that Orbea uses on its award-winning Orca Gold -- that superlative ultra-high modulus carbon fiber. Compared to conventional carbon fiber weaves, this material is stiffer, with greater tensile strength and lower density as well. This allows Orbea engineers the design luxury to use less material in the layup while still managing to achieve the greatest stiffness-to-weight ratio possible. Orbea molds the Ordu Gold frame and fork as a monocoque. Each of these parts is a homogeneous structure without bonded joints where failures, either structural or cosmetic, are able to occur. With fibers running continuously along the length of the tubes, and through the intersections, the total strength of the bike is increased, along with the durability.
Another similarity shared between the road Orca ridden by Olympic gold medalist Sammy Sanchez and his Euskaltel Euskadi team, is the inclusion of an aerodynamic seatpost that allows the use of Selle Italia's latest Monolink saddles with Orbea's Friction Free design. More importantly, though, if you prefer another brand, or simply a traditional two-railed saddle, you're able to use the supplied adapters, which setup in a snap, while still giving you a rock-solid perch. The seatpost clamp is a sculpted aluminum that relies on an internal wedge to secure the post from sliding up or down.
Orbea has chosen the PressFit BB86 standard for the bottom bracket on the Ordu Gold. This means that standard 24mm spindle cranks made by Shimano, SRAM, or FSA should work just fine. The frame is available in four sizes from X-Small to Large and in the colors Carbon/red and White/carbon.

BRIDGEPORT - As so often happens on Senior Night, someone other than one of those honored steals the show.
Behind Parker Dyson's triple-double, homestanding Bridgeport sent its four seniors out in style with a 72-46 rout of Bellaire on Frank Baxter Court inside the John J. Havlicek Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs' 6-foot-5 sophomore scored 22 points, yanked down 11 rebounds and swatted away 10 shots as the hosts ran away early and never looked back.
"It feels pretty good," Dyson said. "All of the hard work in practice paid off (Friday night).''
Bridgeport coach Donnie Cash praised the effort of his lanky southpaw. It was the first triple-double recorded by a Bulldogs player in Cash's tenure.
"He's played well the last two,'' Cash said.''We're hard on him in practice because we know of the potential he has. He showed what he can do. But he's young and he's got to realize that he can't settle for this. He has to continually get better every game."
After Kenny Hess gave Bellaire (3-16) a 1-0 lead 30 seconds into the contest, Bridgeport ran off the next 12 as Dyson and classmate QJ Williams evenly divided them. The duo would team for 14 in the quarter as the hosts led 17-7.
Williams, who finished with 21 points, netted eight in the second quarter, while Dyson contributed six as the margin grew to 36-19 at the half.
Nathan Steele kept the Big Reds in the game as he connected on a trio of 3s in the period.
Seniors Ryan Kreiter and Dallas Fields combined for 14 of Bridgeport's 24 third-quarter points to bump the count to 60-36 after three.
Steele drilled three more 3-pointers in the third quarter and added another in the fourth, along with a pair of conventional baskets to finish with a game-high 25 points.
Hess added 11 as the only other Bellaire player with more than three points.
"They played really well," Bellaire head coach J.R. Battista said of Bridgeport. "Their (2-3) zone gave us a lot of trouble, and they made their shots."
Indeed they did.
"We had a couple good days of practice this week," Cash added. "I liked how we shared the ball and everyone contributed. The one thing I've noticed the last few games is how we've limited our turnovers.
''That gives us more possessions on offense."
The Bulldogs connected on 30 of 55 attempts. Dyson (10-for-13) and Williams (10-for-11) led the way.
In addition to Dyson and Williams, Fields added nine and Kreiter eight.
Bridgeport held a slim, 40-36, edge off the glass behind Dyson's yeoman's effort. Williams snagged seven. Hess had seven and Steele six for Bellaire.
Bridgeport had 10 turnovers, nine less than Bellaire.

Hey guys, in the market for an all around western big game hunting rifle. Looking at either a 30-06 or 270. Anyone have a preference or other ideas??? Thanks
Hey guys, in the market for an all around western big game hunting rifle. Looking at either a 30-06 or 270. Anyone have a preference or other ideas??? Thanks
Jay, I am actually looking for the exact same thing now and I have been researching it for far too long. Being out of college for only a few years and having just recently gotten married, money isn't exactly easy to come by right now. As such I have been looking for one gun that will do just about everything for a few years until I can afford to expand my collection for more specific purposes.
As far as caliber, most people are going to say that for an all around big game gun you will want something with more horsepower than a 270 or 30-06. I am not one of those people. I have pretty much settled on the 30-06 because as long as you hit your target in the right spot, it is more than capable of taking down all of the big game the west has to offer and it will do it with considerably less recoil than any of the massive magnums out there. The milder recoil is important to me because I also plan to spend a lot of time at the range working up good handholds and just plain having fun shooting.
For a specific rifle I'm pretty sure that I will be going with a Remington 700 CDL SF. I have always been partial to the smooth model 700 action and with the nice walnut stock and stainless fluted barrel, its hard to find a much better looking rifle in my opinion. I have looked into many other rifles both more and less expensive as well. Kimber makes some really nice stuff for just a little more money. I put some serious consideration into their model 84L but decided it just wasn't worth the difference in money for me. On the other side of the scale is the Savage Weather Worrier series. They are a really nice, accurate and affordable rifle but I personally decided I wanted something with just a little more class.
I could go on and on about this but hopefully this will get you started.
I have personally been using a 300 Win Mag since I was 16 and really like it. It has plenty of knock down power for anything on the continent and doesn't damage too much meat even on antelope, if you are careful about shot placement and shoot a good bullet that doesn't fragment. I shot my first elk with my dad's 270 but I personally feel that it is a little light for something like moose. The 30-06 is a great all around caliber as is the 7 mag. I think if I was going to buy a new hunting rifle right now I would go with a 300 WSM. In his book Public Land Mulies, David Long recommends the 30-378 Weatherby Mag as the one of the flattest shooting rifles available. Just my 2 cents, good luck.
That's about like asking Ford or Chevy, Blue or Green. I'm in with 30'06 better for larger game and you can find the ammo anywhere. The 270 is like a Chevy
yeah, i'm partial to the 30-06 myself but the more people i ask, seems like alot of em' are into the 270...from the research i've done it does seem like it's all about preference. Euww, and i thought the 270 was like a ford, lol.
How about a .300 RUM
Blue Skies Hunting Adventures
brian, is that a 300 rem. ultra mag? i have a win. 300 wsm and have found that at times seems to have too much velocity.
Then you probably wouldn't like the 300 Remington Ultra Mag
Right now I shoot a .280 Rem. It works great for the open country we hunt in Wyoming for mule deer and antelope and has taken down a bull elk here in Washington. Have you looked at the WSM? Granted the ammo isn't as easy to come by, but if you reload it shouldn't be to much of an issue. My next gun is going to be a .270 WSM, .277 bullet with a little more umph behind it.
good stuff guys, keep it coming.

New air freight service for temperature-sensitive life sciences products launched by DHL
February 18, 2014
DHL Global Forwarding, a subsidiary of global express delivery and logistics services provider DHL, recently announced it has launched a temperature-controlled air freight service going to and from Brussels and Cincinnati.
Company officials said the DHL Aviation Boeing 747-100 freighter aircraft will fly at the 8:30 hour six times a week in each direction and offer reserved space for Life Sciences products, with real-time tracking and temperature measurement data available on each flight that be accessed online.
"DHL Global Forwarding was driven to launch this air freight service between Brussels and Cincinnati due to customer demand for a more controlled air freight offering," said Thomas Kuhles, Vice President of Air Freight, DHL Global Forwarding U.S., in an interview. "Providing enhanced temperature management is driven in great part by new regulations, in particular the updated Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines released by the European Commission last year. The planning of the service took approximately one year. At DHL Global Forwarding we have adopted a sector and trade lane approach. Our sector approach gives us a broader understanding of our customer's regulatory requirements and, subsequently, the ability to ensure compliance through efficient, effective processes."
Some of the major benefits of this new DHL Global Forwarding temperature controlled air freight service cited by Kuhles, include: the flights are operated by DHL aircraft, giving it full control of the handling processes from warehouse through loading of the aircraft, as it is all performed by DHL staff – no third parties; and it also provides a clear understanding that the temperature within the aircraft, along with streamlined handling, may allow shippers to reduce the thermal packaging required.
"We are also able to leverage the DHL THERMONET product that provides visibility in the temperature controlled shipping arena by integrating proactive monitoring and intervention 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," he said. "The service is Good Distribution Practice (GDP) aligned for handling processes. Real-time tracking and monitoring with GPS/GPRS technology is available for supervising positioning, temperature and humidity. At DHL Global Forwarding we are always working to carefully listen to the voice of our customers through ongoing contact and collaboration. As a result we have developed this route for our pharmaceutical customers."
DHL has been offering temperature controlled services globally for many years, and previously, DHL utilized the capacities of commercial carriers offering temperature controlled services for life sciences.
What makes this service new, explained Kuhles, is that it is a service offered on DHL's own aircraft.
"Existing flights between Brussels and Cincinnati and return have been upgraded significantly, based on the high demand of the pharmaceutical industry on this route," he said. "We have upgraded to a Boeing 747 freighter (from a Boeing 767 freighter), offering approximately 55 tons net actual weight per flight. Additionally, we are now offering two additional flights per week with the capability to provide customers with real time tracking and temperature monitoring via GPS/GPRS technologies. We have made this decision to launch this service based on long-term growth and sustainability. DHL Global Forwarding is recognized as an industry leader and looks to continue that leadership role in the future."

WHEELING - Just a week after allowing 12 first-inning runs in a three-inning loss to visiting Wheeling Central, Linsly softball Coach Amanda Smith was hoping her team might play a little better in Thursday's rematch with the Maroon Knights.
While the Cadets played with more confidence and better overall in the field, there was no one that played any better than Central senior pitcher Sarah Henry.
Henry celebrated Senior Night by hurling a perfect game, fanning seven along the way, while also ripping a walk-off double in the bottom of the fifth as the Maroon Knights had to work a little harder and longer than last week but still posted an 8-0 victory against Linsly on Lisa's Field at the J.B. Chambers I-470 Sports Complex.
The victory moves Coach Rick Magruder's squad to 15-5 on the season.
For Henry, it was a day in which she went deep into the count on at least five different occasions, but managed to record the out each and every time.
"I was very pleased with how well Sarah came back in the count," Magruder said. "She went to three balls on some hitters, but she battled and sat each one of them down eventually."
Things looked like they may start the way the last game did early on as the Knights scored three runs in the first inning on just one hit. A fielder's choice and walk was followed by Ashley Gast's RBI base hit. Sydney Bennington was then called out on strikes, but reached on a dropped ball with two more runs crossing on the ensuing error for a 3-0 count.
Wheeling Central's next run, and hit, came in the fourth when Bennington and Henry each singled to begin the frame with Bennington eventually scoring on Laken Visnick's two-out fielder's choice.
But the Knights broke out the big sticks in the home-half of the fifth to score the final four runs of the day. Joni Zavolta laced a leadoff triple and scored on Cara Stahl's single. Stahl scored when Allie Cook doubled and the Cadets made their second error of the game. After an out, Bennington ripped a two-run double down the left-field line before Henry's two-bagger to deep center ended the contest.
"Linsly didn't make the same mistakes (Thursday) that they did last week," Magruder added. "They played solid defense and their pitcher did a nice job. We are not hitting the ball quite as well as we did on our little run earlier this season, but we are still making contact and putting it into play.
"With the OVAC tournament coming up next week we will get a little more time to work on some hitting."
Smith, meanwhile, just wants her team to continue to show progress.
"We are working and striving for progress, progress, progress," Smith mentioned. "It is not about perfection right now, we are just doing what we have to do to get better. We have a lot of underclassmen playing and this is not really how we anticipated the season going.
"It is nice to work hard and make the other team sweat it out a little bit. Our goal (Thursday) was to do better than last week against them and we did that. We made some position changes and we are continuing to be a work in progress.
"I also told the girls that I don't care who they are, or how good they are, if they are not going to give a good effort and play with enthusiasm they are not going to play and I think telling them that also helped."

A small group of Over-the-Rhine homeowners is preparing for a possible lawsuit and other actions should Mayor-elect John Cranley try to cancel the $133 million streetcar project. Ryan Messer says the fight is about protecting his family's investment along the streetcar route. Streetcar supporters plan to host a town hall-style meeting in the coming weeks to discuss possible actions to keep the project on track, including a referendum effort on any legislation that halts construction of the ongoing project. While Cranley says canceling the streetcar is at the top of the agenda, questions remain about how much it would cost to cancel the project, as CityBeat covered in further detail here and here.
As Cincinnati debates canceling the streetcar project, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is evaluating transit systems around the state to encourage more efficiency and cost effectiveness. The agency is particularly focused on how different transit services are dealing with rising demand and shrinking budgets. But if that's the case, ODOT might carry some of the blame: When Gov. John Kasich took office, ODOT's Transportation Review Advisory Council pulled $52 million from the Cincinnati streetcar project despite previously scoring the streetcar the highest among Ohio's transportation projects. The Kasich administration also refused $400 million in federal funding for a statewide passenger light rail system, and the money ended up going to California and other states that took on light rail projects.
Cranley's other major campaign promise is to stop the city's plan to lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, but the Port intends to finalize the lease by the end of the month — before Cranley takes office in December — by selling bonds that will finance the deal. The outgoing city administration pushed the parking plan through City Council in a matter of months for an upfront payment of $92 million. But following unsuccessful litigation and a due diligence process, the Port Authority cut the payment to $85 million, and the city is now responsible for paying $14-$15 million to build a new parking garage that the Port was originally supposed to finance under the deal. Cranley and other opponents of the parking plan say it gives up too much control over the city's parking assets, while supporters argue it's necessary to modernize the assets and help fund economic development projects.
Several of Cincinnati's power brokers and building owners are working on a plan that would create a retail corridor in the city's center and hopefully keep Saks Fifth Avenue in the city. Some of the efforts apparently involve financial incentives from the city, according to details provided to the Business Courier.

The Hamilton County Association of Chiefs of Police released a report outlining stricter guidelines for Taser use. Attorney Al Gerhardstein, who has led lawsuits on behalf of families who lost loved ones after they were Tased, told WVXU he's encouraged by the report, but he said he would also require annual tests of the devices and a ban on chest shots.
The Cincinnati branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is filing a federal complaint against the DHL Global Mail facility in Hebron, Ky., after DHL allegedly fired 24 of its employees on Oct. 9 in a dispute over prayer breaks.
Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino reported $18.2 million in gross revenue in October, down from $19.8 million in September. The revenue reduction also cost Cincinnati's casino the No. 1 spot, which is now held by Cleveland's Horseshoe Casino. For Cincinnati and Ohio, the drop means lower tax revenue.
The Cincinnati Gay and Lesbian Center plans to close its physical space, but it's sticking around as a virtual organization and will continue hosting Pride Night at Kings Island. A letter from the center's board of directors stated that the transition was based on a need to "evolve with the times."
The U.S. Senate passed a bill that would ban discrimination against gay and transgendered workers, but the bill's chances are grim in the U.S. House of Representatives. Both Ohio senators — Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Rob Portman — voted in favor of the Senate bill.

The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority on Saturday approved bond sales and contract agreements for the controversial parking plan. The approval is the final major step necessary for the Port Authority and its private partners to take over Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages after the city leased the assets to the nonprofit development agency earlier in the year. The deal is supposed to raise $85 million in upfront funds and at least $3 million in annual payments for the city, which the city administration previously planned to use for development projects and operating budget gaps. But opponents of the deal say the city is giving up far too much control over its parking assets, which they argue could cause parking rates to skyrocket as private operators attempt to maximize profits.
Ohio's Controlling Board, a seven-member legislative panel, is expected to decide today whether it will use federal funds to expand the state's Medicaid program to more low-income Ohioans. Gov. John Kasich opted to bypass the legislature and put the decision to the Controlling Board after months of failing to convince his fellow Republicans in the Ohio House and Senate to take up the expansion. But critics of the expansion have threatened to sue the Kasich administration if it bypasses the legislature. Under Obamacare, the federal government will pay for the full expansion for the two years being considered; if Ohio ends up accepting the expansion beyond that, the federal government will pay for the entire expansion through 2016 then phase down its payments to an indefinite 90 percent of the expansion's cost. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for the state and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade.
Hamilton County commissioners could consider today whether to use excess tourist tax revenues

By the time a new mayor and City Council candidates take office in December, the city will have laid out roughly half a mile of track and spent or contractually obligated at least $117 million for the streetcar project. The contractual obligations mean it could cost more to cancel the project than to finish it, which will cost the city an estimated total of $88 million after deducting $45 million in federal grants. Still, mayoral candidate John Cranley and several council candidates insist they will try to cancel the project upon taking office. Check out CityBeat's full in-depth story here.
The parking plan's upfront payment has been reduced to $85 million, down from $92 million, and the city, as opposed to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, could be on the hook for $14 million to $15 million to build a garage at Seventh and Sycamore streets, according to an Oct. 9 memo from City Manager Milton Dohoney. The city manager claims the lump sum payment dropped as a result of rising interest rates and the Port Authority's decision to relax parking meter hours outside Over-the-Rhine and the Cincinnati Business District. The parking plan leases Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages to the Port Authority, which plans to hire private companies to operate the assets. CityBeat covered the plan in greater detail here and the controversy surrounding it here.
Gov. John Kasich is considering using an executive order to expand the state's Medicaid program with federal funds. The executive order would expand eligibility for the government-run health insurance program so it includes anyone up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or nearly $15,900 in annual income for an individual. Kasich would then on Oct. 21 ask Ohio's seven-member legislative-spending oversight panel to approve federal funds for the expansion. Kasich, a Republican, has aggressively pursued the Medicaid expansion, which the federal government promises under Obamacare to completely fund through 2016 then phase down and indefinitely hold its payments at 90 percent of the expansion's total costs. But Republican legislators claim the federal government might not be able sustain the payments, even though the federal government has met its payments for the much larger overall Medicaid program since it was created in 1965.
At its final full session before the November election, City Council approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits for Pure Romance to bring the company to downtown Cincinnati for at least 20 years. Councilman Charlie Winburn, the lone Republican on council, was the only one to vote against the tax incentives. The city administration estimates the deal will lead to at least 126 new high-paying jobs in downtown Cincinnati over three years and nearly $2.6 million in net tax revenue over two decades. Gov. John Kasich's administration was originally supposed to provide some tax incentives to the company, but it ultimately reneged after supposedly deciding that the company isn't part of an industry the state typically supports. Critics say Kasich's administration is just too "prudish" to support a company that includes sex toys in its product lineup.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio yesterday announced it's suing Ohio over anti-abortion restrictions passed in the 2014-2015 state budget. The ACLU claims the restrictions are unrelated to the budget and therefore violate the Ohio Constitution's "single subject" rule, which requires each individual law keep to a single subject to avoid complexity and hidden language. CityBeat covered the state budget in further detail here.
Hamilton County Administrator Christian Sigman says he's monitoring the impact of the federal government shutdown with some concerns. "I'm more concerned if this goes more than four weeks or so, when we start talking about reimbursement programs for our larger social programs such as food stamps and cash assistance to the needy and those types of things. We just don't have the money to front that type of thing," he said. CityBeat covered the shutdown in further detail here.

CityBeat covered the attempts to repeal the mandates in further detail here and the national conservative groups behind the calls to repeal here.

The parking plan's lump sum payment is being reduced to $85 million, down from $92 million, and the city could be on the hook for $14 million to $15 million to build a garage, according an Oct. 9 memo from City Manager Milton Dohoney to council members and the mayor.
Dohoney wrote that the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, which is leasing Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages under the 30-plus-year deal, reduced its lump sum payment because of rising interest rates and its decision to reduce parking meter enforcement hours outside of Over-the-Rhine and the Cincinnati Business District.
Under the reviewed deal, the Port Authority also handed the responsibility of building a garage at Seventh and Sycamore streets to the city of Cincinnati. Dohoney recommends using the parking plan's upfront payment to fund the garage, which will cost between $14 million and $15 million, according to city spokesperson Meg Olberding.
If City Council approves the allocation, the upfront funds would be effectively left at $70 million to $71 million.
The city still estimates it will get at least $3 million in annual installments from the lease.
Supporters of the parking plan claim it's necessary to fully leverage Cincinnati's parking assets to fund development projects and help balance the operating budget.
The plan also requires private operators, which will be hired by the Port Authority, to upgrade Cincinnati's parking assets. The upgrades should allow parking meters to accept remote payments through smartphones, among other new features.
Critics claim the plan gives up too much local control over the city's parking assets. They say the city and Port Authority could easily be pressured by private operators to hike parking rates far beyond the 3-percent-a-year increase currently called for under the plan.
The plan has also been mired in controversy, notably because the city administration withheld a consultant's memo from the public and council members that claimed the plan is a bad deal for the city. The city administration says the memo was based on outdated information, but opponents still criticized the lack of transparency behind the deal.
Dohoney wrote in the Oct. 9 memo that the Port Authority's board plans to meet on Oct. 19 to finalize contracts with private operators. If all goes as planned, the Port Authority estimates the new parking system will be in place by April 2014.
A bill enacting new regulations on minor political party participation in state elections yesterday passed through the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate despite objections from the Libertarian Party and other critics that the bill will shut out minor parties in future elections. The bill now needs approval from the Republican-controlled Ohio House and Republican Gov. John Kasich, who would likely benefit from the bill because it would help stave off tea party challengers in the gubernatorial election. The proposal was sponsored by State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Republican from Cincinnati.
The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority yesterday released drafts for contracts with operators who will manage Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages under the city's parking plan, which leases the parking assets to the Port Authority for at least 30 years. Xerox will be paid about $4.5 million in its first year operating Cincinnati's parking meters, and it will be separately paid $4.7 million over 10 years to upgrade meters to, among other features, allow customers to pay through a smartphone. Xerox's contract will last 10 years, but it can be renewed for up to 30 years. The city administration says the parking plan will raise millions in upfront money then annual installments that will help finance development projects and balance the budget, but critics say the plan gives up too much control of Cincinnati's parking assets.
City Council's Budget and Finance Committee yesterday approved nearly $854,000 in tax credits over 10 years for Pure Romance in return for the company coming to and remaining in Cincinnati for 20 years. The city administration estimates the deal will lead to at least 126 new high-paying jobs in downtown Cincinnati over three years and nearly $2.6 million in net tax revenue over two decades. Pure Romance is a $100 million-plus company that originally planned to move from Loveland to Cincinnati with support from the state and city, but Gov. John Kasich's administration ultimately rejected state tax credits for the company. Kasich's administration says Pure Romance didn't fit into an industry traditionally supported by the state, but critics argue the state government is just too "prudish" to support a company that includes sex toys in its product lineup.
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST),
Cincinnati's vitriolic tea party group, yesterday appeared to endorse John
Cranley, who's running for mayor against Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls.
Ohio conservatives are defending their proposal to weaken the state's renewable energy and efficiency mandates, which environmentalists and businesses credit with spurring a boom of clean energy production in the state and billions in savings on Ohioans' electricity bills. State Sen. Seitz compared the mandates to "central planning" measures taken in "Soviet Russia." A study from Ohio State University and Ohio Advanced Energy Economy found Ohioans will spend $3.65 billion more on electricity bills over the next 12 years if the mandates are repealed. CityBeat covered the attempts to repeal the mandates in further detail here and the national conservative groups behind the calls to repeal here.

With the war on drugs widely considered a failure after more than four decades, experts are suggesting legalization and decriminalization as viable alternatives. One concern: Despite recent attempts at sentencing reform, Ohio's prison population is set to grow further and breach a capacity barrier previously set by the U.S. Supreme Court in a ruling against California. With costs rising and drug use rates seemingly unaffected by harsher enforcement, groups of academics, former law enforcement officials and civil libertarians say it's time to look at states and countries that have abandoned criminalization and harsh enforcement with great success.

A planned supportive housing facility in Avondale is raising concerns for residents who claim the complex could hurt a neighborhood already plagued by poverty, crime, obesity, unemployment and homelessness. Particularly worrying for Avondale 29, the group opposing the plans, is that the facility is near a daycare and elementary school, which the group says could have a negative impact on neighborhood children. Supporters of the facility say the opposition is based on widespread misinformation. They point to a similar similar supportive housing facility in Columbus, which, according to the Columbus Police Department's Gary Scott, had a positive impact on the community surrounding it.
Opponents of Cincinnati's parking lease were dealt two major blows in court yesterday: The Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear their first legal challenge and effectively upheld the city's referendum-immune emergency powers, and the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court refused to place a temporary restraining order on the lease despite claims that the city manager made "significant and material" changes to the deal without City Council approval. Both the challenges come from the conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), which claims parking rates and enforcement hours will rise because the city is ceding too much power over its services by leasing its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority. Supporters of the parking lease argue the plan is necessary to leverage the city's parking assets to finance development projects that will grow the city's tax base.

The city is fighting to have a document removed from its legal battle over the streetcar with Duke Energy. City officials says the document is "nothing scandalous" and the city just made a mistake by accidentally disclosing it, but a Duke attorney says the document is a source of "embarrassment" for the city and important to the case. As part of an agreement, Cincinnati and Duke are arguing in court to settle who has to pay an estimated $15 million to move utility lines to accommodate for the streetcar route.
Advocates of the federally funded Medicaid expansion yesterday filed petitions to the state attorney general's office to get the issue on the 2014 ballot. As part of Obamacare, states are asked to expand their Medicaid programs to include anyone up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. If they accept, the federal government would pay for 100 percent of the expansion's cost for three years then indefinitely phase down to 90 percent. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio found the expansion would save Ohio $1.8 billion and insure half a million Ohioans. Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, and state Democrats support the expansion, but Republican legislators are resisting it.
More than two-thirds of Ohioans support laws that protect gays and lesbians against job discrimination, but more than four in five mistakenly think such laws are already in place at the state and federal levels, according to the 2013 Ohio Values Survey from the Public Religion Research Institute. The survey also found a slim majority of Ohioans oppose amending the state constitution to allow same-sex marriage, which somewhat contradicts earlier polls from The Washington Post and Quinnipiac University that found a plurality of Ohioans now support same-sex marriage.
State agencies are probing the second high-profile suicide in an Ohio prison in the past month. Ariel Castro, a Cleveland man who was sentenced to life for kidnapping three women and beating and raping them as he held them for a decade, was found hanging on Tuesday after an apparent suicide. His death was the seventh suicide in an Ohio prison this year and the 35th since 2008. "As horrifying as Mr. Castro's crimes may be, the state has a responsibility to ensure his safety from himself and others," said Christine Link, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, in a statement. "Questions remain whether Mr. Castro was properly screened for suicide risk and mental illness."
The Ohio Development Services Agency is offering $30 million in loans and grants to employers who train their workforce. "Building a strong economy is about ensuring Ohio's workforce has the tools it needs for success," said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency, in a statement. "We want our workforce to be ready for the competitive jobs of tomorrow."
Ohio legislators are asking the federal government to pursue a balanced-budget amendment. Although the amendment might sound like a good idea in campaign platitudes, many economists agree it's a bad idea because it limits the federal government's flexibility in reacting to economic downturns that typically cause deficits by lowering tax revenues and increasing the amount of people on government services.
A Fairfield, Ohio, woman is being forced by the Fairfield Board of Zoning Appeals to get rid of five of her seven dogs.

The Ohio Supreme Court today rejected an appeal for a legal challenge that threatened Cincinnati's parking plan and the city's emergency powers.
The lawsuit, which was backed by the conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), claimed the city could not bypass a referendum on its plans to lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority by invoking an emergency clause.
City Council regularly uses emergency clauses on passed legislation to bypass a 30-day waiting period for implementing laws. The clauses also make legislation immune to a referendum.
COAST, which opposes the city's parking lease, argued the City Charter doesn't clearly define emergency clauses to deny a referendum.
Hamilton County Judge Robert Winkler sided with COAST in the first round, but the ruling was appealed and the Hamilton County Court of Appeals ultimately ruled in favor of the city.
With the Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal, the appeal court's ruling stands.
City Solicitor John Curp applauded the decision in an email to various media outlets.
"I believe that politics belong in the legislative branch of government and not in our courts. This decision reaffirms that politics should stay on the Council floor and short-term political interests not be dragged through the judiciary where the consequences can have a long-standing impact on the public safety and economic interests of the City," Curp wrote. "Consistency in interpreting long-standing legal rules is important in promoting a vibrant business climate in the City. The Courts have reaffirmed that the City of Cincinnati is free to operate at the speed of business."
COAST is now trying another legal challenge against the city's parking lease. This time, the conservative group is claiming that the city manager made "significant and material" changes to the lease without City Council approval.
Curp declined to take up the second legal challenge after concluding that the changes made to the lease were ministerial and a result of delays caused by COAST's first legal challenge. But by having its proposed challenge denied, COAST gained the legal rights to sue the city over the issue.
Supporters of the parking lease argue the plan is necessary to leverage the city's parking meters, lots and garages to finance development projects that will grow the city's tax base.
Opponents claim the lease gives up too much control over the city's parking assets and will hurt businesses by causing parking rates and enforcement hours to rise.
CityBeat covered the controversy surrounding the parking lease in further detail here.
Despite unanimous opposition, City Council yesterday fulfilled duties dictated by the City Charter and reluctantly voted to allow the controversial pension amendment on the November ballot. The amendment would privatize Cincinnati's pension system so future city employees — excluding police and fire personnel, who are under a separate system — contribute to and manage individual 401k-style accounts. Currently, the city pools pension contributions and manages the investments through an independent board. City officials, including all council members, oppose the amendment because they say it will cost the city more and hurt benefits for city employees. Supporters of the amendment, who are backed by out-of-state tea party groups, claim it's necessary to address Cincinnati's rising pension costs. CityBeat covered the issue in greater detail here.
The conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) is once again taking the parking lease to court. The legal pursuit comes after City Solicitor John Curp denied COAST's challenge. COAST claims that the city manager made "significant and material" changes to the parking lease, but Curp said the changes were ministerial and only made as a result of delays caused by COAST's first legal challenge against the parking lease. If the latest legal tactic is successful, City Council could be forced to vote on the changes made to the parking lease, which could endanger the entire lease because a majority of council members now say they oppose the plan. A hearing is scheduled for the challenge today at 11:30 a.m.
Hamilton County is evicting homeless squatters from its courthouse, but it plans to carry out the evictions by connecting the homeless with existing services. "We don't want to get mired down in too much political debate," Hamilton County Sheriff's Major Charmaine McGuffey told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "It's a public health hazard." About 750 people in Hamilton County are homeless throughout any typical night; of those, 700 spend the night in shelters and the rest, who are mostly downtown, sleep outside.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who's running for mayor against ex-Councilman John Cranley, yesterday unveiled two TV advertisements: "Neighborhoods" and "Wheelbarrow." The first ad touts Qualls' supports for neighborhood investments. The second ad is particularly aggressive and claims Cranley was forced to resign from City Council because of ethics issues regarding his personal investments.
The number of Ohioans on welfare dropped over the past few years as Gov. John Kasich's administration enforced federal work requirements. Ben Johnson, spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, says the efforts have brought the state's welfare program into federal compliance.
Ariel Castro, the man convicted for the decade-long kidnapping, beating and raping of three Cleveland women he held captive, was found hanging in his prison cell on Tuesday after an apparent suicide.
Attorney General Mike DeWine yesterday released an update on the state's sexual assault kit testing initiative: So far, the attorney general's Bureau of Criminal Investigation has received 3,530 previously untested rape kits from 105 law enforcement agencies in Ohio. The agency has tested 1,488 kits, leading to to 460 hits in the Combined DNA Index System.
Internet cafe owners submitted petitions yesterday to put a law that effectively banned their businesses on the ballot. State officials claim the cafes were hubs for criminal and illegal gambling activity, but cafe owners say the ban is unfair.
This frog listens with its mouth.
With the backing of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, law enforcement around the state have been secretly using facial recognition software for the past two months that scans driver's licenses and mug shots to identify crime suspects. In emails and documents obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer, DeWine and other state officials apparently couldn't agree whether the program is in beta testing or full launch and when they should tell the public about it. The program went live without the attorney general's initial approval and many protocols that protect Ohioans' security and privacy, raising concerns about whether law enforcement have been able to abuse the new tool.
The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority on Friday acknowledged it will ramp up enforcement and tickets once it takes over Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages, but it claimed the move is meant to encourage people to pay up, not raise revenue that will make the parking lease more profitable for the Port or the private operators it's hiring. The Port also said it had taken steps to make the parking lease a better deal for locals, including a reduction in operation hours in neighborhoods and some downtown areas. The city is leasing its parking assets to the Port for a one-time injection of revenue and annual installments that are supposed to go to development projects that will grow the city's tax base. But opponents of the lease say it will take away too much control of the city's parking services and hurt businesses and residents by raising parking rates and hours.
Vacant buildings at the corner of Henry and Race streets will be demolished today to make room for a maintenance facility for Cincinnati's streetcars — just the latest sign the project is moving forward. Mayor Mark Mallory, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and John Deatrick, streetcar project executive director, will attend the demolition and a press event preceding it, which will take place at 1 p.m.
A new video from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) shows how bad traffic will get if the Brent Spence Bridge isn't replaced. In the video, OKI claims the current state of the bridge is dangerous and damages the economy. The bridge project is currently estimated at $2.5 billion. At least part of that sum will be paid with tolling if state officials get their way.
Qualls and Cincinnati Public Schools Superintendent Mary Ronan will today discuss a district-wide travel plan that intends to provide safe routes for students walking and biking to school. The plan, which would use Ohio Department of Transportation funds, makes improvements to crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals, among other changes. Qualls' office says the plan is timely as CPS today begins its first week back to school.
Cuts in all levels of government, which Republican state officials call "right-sizing," might be hindering Ohio's economic recovery. Only California, New York and Florida have cut more public jobs than Ohio. At the same time, Ohio's job growth over the past year has stagnated at 0.7 percent. The state has cut local government funding by half since Kasich took office, as CityBeat covered in further detail here.
Ohio gas prices once again increased this week, but they still remain below the national average.
The USS Cincinnati, a Cold War era submarine, is coming to the city. Some locals have been working on getting the submarine's sail installed along the riverfront as a memorial.

The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority today acknowledged that it will increase enforcement when it takes over Cincinnati's parking meters, but the agency says its goal is to encourage people to pay up, not raise revenues that will make the parking lease more profitable for the Port Authority and the private operators it's hiring.
In a much-awaited presentation, the quasi-public development agency rolled out board members and statistics to explain why the city should lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Port, which will hire various private companies to operate the assets.
Much of the controversy surrounding the lease has focused on enforcement, which critics argue will be ratcheted up under the deal. Port officials clarified that the deal will involve more enforcement officers and more aggressive tactics, but Laura Brunner, CEO of the Port, claimed there will be limits. For example, parking meters won't have built-in connectivity that allows officers to immediately detect when a meter is going unpaid, which means enforcers will have to make regular rounds and checks, just as they do today, before issuing a ticket.
Lynn Marmer, a Port board member and vice chairwoman of Kroger, said increased enforcement is necessary because most people currently don't pay for the parking services they use. She blamed that on the city's dwindling enforcement for parking violations: The city handed out 65,000 tickets in 2012, down from 104,000 in 2008.
"I think it's unlikely we all got better at following the rules and paying fines," Marmer said.
The Port doesn't expect enforcement to reach the levels of 2008 any time soon, but Brunner and others said that tickets will gradually rise once the Port Authority hands the parking meters over to private operators.
One of those private operators is Xerox, which will manage Cincinnati's parking meters under the deal. The Port says it plans to establish a 10-year contract with Xerox, but the contracts will be reviewed quarterly to ensure the company is doing a good job. If not, the contract can be terminated.
Port officials stated that Xerox will not get revenue based on stringent enforcement. Instead, the Port will regularly review Xerox based on a series of measurements that attempt to gauge how efficiently the company is running the city's parking meters.
Port officials also reemphasized that parking meter enforcement hours in neighborhoods — meaning outside of downtown and Over-the-Rhine — will only last until 6 p.m., instead of 9 p.m. as originally called for in the plan. Downtown and Over-the-Rhine meters will still be extended to 9 p.m., although some areas on the edges of downtown, such as Broadway Street, are exempt and enforcement will only run through 6 p.m. in those places.
The change for neighborhood meter hours will presumably lower how much Cincinnati gets from leasing its parking assets to the Port, but officials weren't ready to unveil exactly how much money the city will get. Previous city estimates put the lump sum at $92 million and annual installments at a minimum of $3 million, but that was before the Port's changes.
Prepared statements show if the final lump sum falls under $85 million, the city manager will need to approve the changes before the Port can move forward with the deal.
The decrease in hours also comes with a caveat: It will be possible for the city manager, Port and an independent board appointed by the Port and city manager to expand parking meter hours in the future. But such a change would require approval from all three governing bodies.
Ex-Councilman John Cranley, who's running for mayor and opposes the parking lease, says the Port's presentation did nothing to address his concerns. Claiming that "the devil's in the details," Cranley pointed out that the Port still hasn't released the actual contracts or bond documents.
Brunner said the documents should be released within a month, and the Port plans to give the public two weeks to review the details between the documents' release and the Port's final vote.
Cranley argued that might not be enough time. He told CityBeat that the city "almost gave away" free Sunday and holiday parking under its original lease agreement. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld's office had to catch the error and refer it to the city administration before it was corrected.
The Port's presentation was meant to wrap up the agency's due diligence of the parking lease as it approaches a Sept. 4 deadline. Going into the presentation, Marmer explained, "Frankly, we were more skeptical (of the parking lease) than neutral."
Emails previously acquired by CityBeat back Marmer's skepticism. Writing to other Port officials in June, Marmer expressed concerns that the parking lease has been poorly handled and will snare the Port with controversy. "This whole parking issue has been a gigantic distraction from our core mission," she claimed.
Supporters of the parking lease argue it's necessary to leverage Cincinnati's parking assets to pay for development projects that will grow the city's tax base. Opponents argue it will take too much control out of the city's hands, cause parking rates and enforcement to skyrocket and hurt businesses and residents.
The parking lease has been engulfed in political controversy ever since it was announced in October. Most recently, the city administration was criticized for failing to disclose an independent consultant's memo that found the city was getting a bad deal from the lease. City officials argue the memo was outdated, so they didn't feel the need to release its details.
With its due diligence nearly finished, the Port will now finalize contracts, update the financial model for the lease and vote on the bonds and contracts that will complete the deal. If all goes as planned, the Port's new system will be in place by April next year.
This story was updated to clarify some wording and what parking meters will be enforced until 9 p.m.

UN Evaluators Recognize Right of Panama's Indigenous Peoples to Reject Forestry Projects
13 June 2013 | News story
PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (12 June 2013)—In a preliminary report released this week, an independent team—assigned by the United Nations to investigate complaints by indigenous people against a highly-contested global climate change program in Panama—upholds the Panamanians' right to reject the implementation of any UN-funded forestry projects in their country.
"This recognition of the right of indigenous authorities to refuse to execute a project that indigenous people consider to be harmful to their interests is without precedent," said Levi Sucre, coordinator of the Alliance Mesoamerican Peoples and Forests (AMPB), which includes the National Coordination of Indigenous People in Panama (COONAPIP) among its members. "The observers' conclusions must be respected by all parties."
In February, COONAPIP announced its withdrawal from a United Nations-led climate change program known as REDD, which is designed to protect the world's vulnerable forests. The Panamanian organization that represents all 12 leaders of Panama's Indigenous groups protested the program's lack of guarantees for the respect of indigenous rights and for the full and effective participation of indigenous leaders in the different stages of REDD projects.
COONAPIP's action represents the first major challenge to the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the United Nations (UN DRIP), a non-binding agreement that explicitly upholds the right of indigenous people to block projects on their lands that could potentially endanger both their lives and livelihoods.
"We welcome the report of the UN observers, and request that the UN close the UN REDD program in Panama, as COONAPIP requested, a decision that is now justified by the report," Sucre said.
The final version of the report, which the two evaluators—anthropologist Birgitte Feiring and attorney Eduardo Abbott, a former Executive Secretary of the World Bank's Inspection Panel—will be presented at a UN REDD policy board meeting in late June in Indonesia. This meeting will decide the future of the program in Panama.
Some of the key highlights of the report are:
- The UN-REDD program in Panama includes an explicit commitment to uphold the rights of indigenous people to grant—or withhold—their free, prior and informed consent to the adoption of legislative or administrative measures that may affect them.
- In response to COONAPIP's decision to withdraw from UN-REDD Panama (February 25, 2013), the agency has halted all pending and new activities with indigenous people, in a clear sign of respect for their rights to withhold their consent. (P 25)
The report takes stock of methodological deficiencies and errors in the implementation of the Program in Panama, and points out that the program can be carried out, only if "COONAPIP expresses an interest in restarting a dialogue with UN and UN-REDD."
Sucre said that his organization, the Executive Committee of the Alliance Mesoamerican Peoples and Forests, would continue to support COONAPIP's struggle to assert the right of its leaders to object to projects that undermine the true interests of the people they represent.
About the Alliance Mesoamerican Peoples and Forests (AMPB)
The Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB) is the coordinating body of the group of territorial authorities that administer or influence major forested areas of Mesoamerica. It consists of indigenous governments and community forestry organizations seeking to strengthen their own dialogue, focusing on community management of natural resources, and seeking to influence governments and international cooperation to embrace conservation strategies that encourage biodiversity and address climate concerns, while appropriately integrating the rights and benefits of traditional and local communities

It takes a special kind of person to become a respiratory care practitioner1. You need to have an aptitude for technology and complex procedures. You need to be able to remain calm during emergencies so that you're capable of making independent clinical judgments without taking the time to second guess yourself. Perhaps more than anything, though, you need to be the kind of person who can be caring and empathetic at the bedside in order to reassure patients and help them cope with a difficult and potentially frightening experience.
Respiratory care practitioners, often referred to as respiratory therapists1, use their knowledge and expertise to bring relief to patients who either can't breathe on their own or are having a hard time breathing due to impaired or non-functioning lungs. Earning your Associate of Science degree in Respiratory Care at Carrington College can prepare you to practice under the direction of a physician to help perform diagnostic procedures and provide therapeutic respiratory treatments. You may help patients suffering from conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer, heart attack, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sleep apnea.
The Respiratory Care program was developed to provide you the training you'll need to pursue a position as a respiratory therapist in a variety of healthcare settings. This program is designed to help you:
- Acquire practical skills and experience through formal lectures, labs and hands-on instruction
- Prepares for the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) credentialing exams, such as the Therapist Multiple Choice (TMC) exam and the Clinical Simulation Examination (CSE).2
Breathe new life into your career plans
There are a number of possible paths that you could follow as a qualified respiratory therapist. You can seek employment in healthcare settings, such as doctors' offices, hospitals, nursing care facilities, assisted living facilities, and even a patient's home. You can also perform specialized functions such as becoming an Asthma Educator, working in a hyperbaric oxygen unit or on a medical transport team. Additionally, you can pursue opportunities in education, sales, rehabilitation and diagnostic testing.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of respiratory therapists is expected to grow by 19% from 2012 to 2022.3 The increasing demand will come from substantial growth in the middle-aged and elderly population—a development that will heighten the incidence of cardiopulmonary disease.3 Median annual wages of wage-and-salary respiratory therapists were $55,870 in May 2012. The lowest 10% earned less than $40,980 and the highest 10% earned more than $75,430.3
See how far your commitment can take you
Pursuing your Associate of Science degree in Respiratory Care is a three academic year journey, but you might be surprised how quickly the time seems to pass. Our program integrates classroom lectures, laboratory instruction and clinical experience, so you'll be introduced to new skills and material on a regular basis. This dynamic approach is excellent preparation for the wide range of challenges you'll encounter in the real world. Your coursework will begin with general education classes and basic medical classes. Once you build a solid foundation of knowledge, you will cover more advanced material to gain an understanding of processes of the human body as well as principals of pharmacology. To develop your skills, you will receive hands-on instruction and extensive practice in a computerized simulation lab. Next, you'll take what you've learned and apply it to real-world situations through clinical experience in actual healthcare environments, performing tasks ranging from patient assessment to assisting with mechanical ventilation of neonatal patients.
The Associate of Science degree program in Respiratory Care at Carrington College is designed to equip you with the expertise, specialized skills and confidence necessary to:
- Conduct examinations and provide accurate assessments
- Consult with other medical professionals to develop patient care plans
- Make recommendations for therapeutic intervention and treatment of various cardiopulmonary diseases
- Administer medical gases and oxygen therapy
- Exhibit proper techniques for emergency medicine, resuscitation, intubation, airway clearance and tracheotomy care
- Demonstrate your proficiency in critical thinking and information management
- Sit for the appropriate NBRC credentialing exam and apply for licensure

May 24, 2016
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The Justice Department is nearing a $1.4 billion settlement with Transocean Ltd., the owner of the drilling rig that sank after an explosion killed 11 workers and spawned the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Two people with knowledge of the negotiations say Switzerland-based Transocean would pay the money to resolve the department's civil and criminal probe of the company's role in the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The announcement could come as soon as Thursday.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement hadn't been made.
One of the people, a law enforcement official familiar with the deal, said Transocean would pay $1 billion in civil penalties, $400 million in criminal penalties and would plead guilty to violating the Clean Water Act.
