The marvelous covered drying patios at the Volkopi mill in Lintong.

text: Issue 03 Preview – Rubigone Sean Holman 0 COMMENT A Dream Wrangler That Is Ready For Play Or Survival You don't have to wait for the end of the world or roving groups of undead to feel the need to bug out for a bit. Long days strapped into an office chair next to a cubicle mate who wants to tell you all about her 15 cats, sitting for hours in a freeway parking lot without an ETA home, or living next door to a wing-nut neighbor who always seems to place those "Hope" and "Change" signs on your side of the property line are all acceptable reasons for needing some time away. Recreation is life's best medicine and leaving civilization with a few of your favorite firearms and enough gear to be self-sufficient for a couple days is an age-old tradition guaranteed to give you the recharge you've earned. Doing it in a vehicle that gets you further away will almost certainly ensure your peace and isolation. In the spirit of bugging out of everyday life, Bob Tulley of Corona, California's Wrangler fits the bill. Starting life as an '08 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and fully upgraded by Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California, this rig is overbuilt by most standards, yet remains civil enough to be a daily driver. Based on the long-wheelbase, 4-door Wrangler JK Unlimited, it's big enough to take you and a buddy away for the weekend (or the family away from Armageddon), but still compact enough to ft on most trails. The race-inspired suspension, beefy underpinnings, and massive rolling stock add to the "just-in-case" factor and allows the Jeep to climb over boulders to get you to the high point, or over the top of the boss's Prius; you'll know if you ever find it blocking the parking lot exit.

WHEELING - Walking through the hallways of the historic downtown McLure Hotel these days, one is almost certain to run into oil and gas workers preparing to spend the night.
"Because of this industry, we have been able to hire about 10 new people and make some improvements," Cindy Johnson, general manager of the McLure, said. "We had a fabulous year in 2012."
Such is the case at hotels throughout Wheeling, as the Hampton Inn on National Road and various properties in the Elm Grove area continue hosting large numbers of pipeliners, drillers, frackers, truckers and other workers employed because of the Marcellus and Utica shale rush.
The clearest indication of how the oil and gas industry has helped boost business at local inns may be the marked increase in hotel/motel tax collections over the past few years.
As noted by Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie during last week's State of the City speech, 2012 was a record year for city collections - up $400,000 since 2010.
According to Wheeling-Ohio County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Frank O'Brien, total hotel/motel taxes generated in the city during 2012 were $1.57 million. This is up from $1.33 million in 2011 - and $1.17 million in 2010.

Hotel/Motel Tax Collections in City of Wheeling:
2012 - $1.57 million
2011 - $1.33 million
2010 - $1.17 million
Source: Wheeling-OhioCounty Convention and Visitors Bureau
The oil and gas boom "is certainly a contributing factor to our increase," O'Brien said. "We had been slightly increasing each year, but the increase is more obvious and substantial now."
Fifty percent of the bed tax funding goes to the city of Wheeling - about $778,500 - while the remaining 50 percent goes to the CVB. O'Brien uses the funding to promote tourism in Wheeling and to help pay off the $1.4 million debt still owed on the Capitol Theatre purchase.
O'Brien said Oglebay Park and Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack remain major draws for those staying in hotel rooms, as do special events such as the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival and the Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic.
Johnson noted the McLure hosts many wedding parties, wrestling teams and baseball teams throughout the year. She also said some of those performing at the nearby Capitol stay at the McLure, in addition to some who come to town to watch the shows. Still, Johnson said most of the business increase is due to the burgeoning oil and gas industry.
"We are up to 80 percent average occupancy now," said Johnson, noting that average was less than 50 percent just a few years ago. In addition to the 170 regular guest rooms, she said the McLure has 30 apartments, all of which are currently occupied.
Johnson said it is "amazing" to again see the McLure bustling with activity. She said the hotel was originally built in 1852. Much of the original building was removed to make room for new construction approximately 30 years ago.
"We have a very good relationship with these folks," Johnson said, noting most of the workers travel out into the rural portions of Ohio, Marshall, Brooke and Belmont counties to reach their jobs.
"Because of their business, we have been able to reopen our lounge. Now, we are working on getting the restaurant open again," she said, noting the McLure leases out this space to another entrepreneur to run the restaurant and lounge.
Johnson said the McLure has endured through the rise and fall of the steel, coal and glass industries in the Wheeling area. She does not know how long the oil and gas rush will last, but is glad it is here.
"From what I hear, this may just be the beginning. That is why you have all of the new hotels being built," Johnson said in reference to new properties soon to open at The Highlands and in St. Clairsville.

This Week In Home Entertainment: Her, Eastbound And Down And More
The future is frequently shown to be a less-than-idyllic place, but in Spike Jonzes Her, the future is a place dominated by technology, filled with new fashions, and portrayed as a time that is very clean. Its not the look or feel of the world in Her that is the important part, however. Instead, an unconventional relationship is at the heart of Her.

Spike Jonze's 'Her' Wins Its Day In Court Against Theft Charges

Oscar Analysis 2014: Breaking Down The Best Picture Race

Tom Hanks And Four More Disgraceful Best Actor Oscar Snubs

The 10 Best Movie Music Moments Of 2013
Last year was a pretty fantastic one for movie music. Directors like David O.

As a result, 2013 had a lot to live up to, but looking back on the last twelve months reveals that this years crop of filmmakers were more than up for the task.

NYFF Review: Spike Jonze's Her Bends Sci-Fi And Romance In A Spectacular, Witty Future
Handheld computers have infiltrated our lives so swiftly, and so fully, that it's so far been impossible to gauge what they mean to us-- most analysis settles for "They're ruining everything!" to "They're improving everything!" and nothing in between. Spike Jonze, maybe miraculously, occupies an imaginative and heartfelt middle ground in Her, where in the not-so-distant future, a not-so-preposterous love story plays out between a man (Joaquin Phoenix) and the operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) programmed to meet his every need

Glucosamine sulfate is the ideal supplement for joints. For joint pain, many take aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. While they're effective at suppressing symptoms, they do nothing for cartilage repair. They may even inhibit it.
Glucosamine gets to the root of the problem and can help support and repair joints. One study showed it took 4 weeks for glucosamine to surpass ibuprofen with respect to joint comfort, demonstrating it takes longer to work but ultimately produced better results.
Chondroitin sulfate works synergistically with glucosamine. Experts say it is best taken with glucosamine in a 5:4 ratio, glucosamine sulfate (1,500 mg): chondroitin sulfate (1,200 mg) for a 120-200 pound person.
Note: this study used the sulfate form of glucosamine used in Lindberg products. Lindberg uses a potassium stabilized form (2KCl) of glucosamine sulfate, not sodium, to reduce unwanted salt.
What is MSM?
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of sulfur, one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. Sulfur is essential in many body functions. It's critical to the production of healthy collagen -- the building block of nails, skin, hair, joints and other connective tissues.*

Really neat visualization she has. Thanks for the referral.
Thanks for mentioning my work! I think Archipelago is my favorite so far, but I'm always trying new things! I try to keep the site up-to-date with my new projects.
Marvelous maps, EmilyHG - thanks for stopping by in person. I don't know if we have anything to offer you, but I for one would benefit from anything you have to say about how you go about creating those.
They make me think of stained glass, many of them.
Great find and even nicer that the artist has stopped by in person! Lovely work, Emily!
Very neat stuff!

1937 Chevy Business coupe - Doin' Daddy ProudWritten by on July 18, 2008 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen A Daughter's Love For Her Father
Most of us who build and enjoy hot rods do so because we're lifelong gearheads. We cut our teeth on car magazines and drooled over hot jalopies and show cars as kids; as we grew older, most of us graduated to building and owning, and our motivation became the pure love of the automobile. In the case of Lori Fujii's way-cool '37 Chevy coupe, love was yet again the motivator-not for the vehicle itself, but the love of a daughter for her dad.
Lori's story began years ago while her father, Tad Fujii, a consummate hot rodder, spent his time wrenching on and driving a '40 Ford. Though he enjoyed the Ford, he'd had his eye on a stock '37 Chevy Business coupe belonging to an old family friend. The Chevy had been stored in a barn over in Compton, California, since 1953, and Tad had tried for years to get the owner to sell it though to no avail.
Years later, just before Tad's 60th birthday, Lori decided she'd try to buy the old coupe herself as a surprise birthday present for Dad. Hoping for the best, but steeled for the worst, Lori contacted the owner, who, much to her delight, not only agreed to give up the Chevy, but after hearing the reason she wanted it so badly, actually gave it to her for free. Needless to say, her dad was both surprised and thrilled with his gift.
After 41 years in storage, Tad and his daughter towed the coupe home, and, Lori noted, it was one of the happiest days of her father's life. With his birthday present ensconced in the safety of the family garage, Tad set about planning his long-awaited build. He intended on taking his time and working slowly-a little bit here, a little bit there-as this was to be his retirement project.
Tragically, just 11 months after his birthday, Lori's dad was killed in a car accident. As one would imagine, the family was devastated; they barely knew what to do about anything, let alone the fate of the Chevy. All Lori knew was it was really important and special to her father, so she could never part with it. The unfinished coupe went back into storage.
Ten years passed before Lori made the decision to finally finish the project her father started. She knew her dad would have built it to drive and enjoy, so she planned on doing the same. Her goal was to build a totally reliable daily driver that kept the Chevy looking exactly as it had, both inside and out, when her father began his rodstoration. So, with much help and guidance from friend and co-worker Bruce Gray, the pair meticulously planned every step of the build using the skills of a group of professional-including, but not limited to, Garrett Wilson of Burbank-based Hollywood Hot Rods, Mark Lopez of Upland, and Butch Lynch and Dennis Ricklefs of Uncle Bitchin's in Temecula-to bring their plan to fruition.
As you can see, and as you might imagine, Lori's coupe ended up just as she had wished-a patina'd, stock-looking car with all the comforts, performance, and reliability anyone could wish for. Plus, a multitude of cool custom tweaks were added that she'll enjoy while driving her new hot rod daily-just as her father would have done.

Lori learned the fine art of parts procurement during the process. She became quite adept at swap meet and eBay hunting, and pretty handy with aftermarket parts suppliers' catalogs, as well-though, true to her plan, the Chevy looks as if it were rolled out of the barn yesterday.The interior is every bit as nice as it was when the car rolled off the assembly line. Above and beyond fresh mohair upholstery done by Elegance Auto Interiors, the '37 is now equipped with a Vintage Air unit, power windows-operated by the original window cranks-and a top-of-the-line stereo system. The original seat has been fitted with a power seat track assembly pirated from a '70 Caddy and seat heaters controlled by the original Chevy heater switches.The interior of Lori's Chevy is actually the trickest part of the car. The aforementioned air conditioning utilizes hidden side vents and a center vent disguised to look as original as possible. The original radio dial face is now the tachometer and the volume and selector knobs control the car's foglights and Newport Engineering intermittent wipers. The original instruments have been internally modernized by Redline Gauge Works, as well.At first glance, Lori's coupe looks just as it did the day she and her father towed home the project from its previous 40 years of storage. She retained that look, while updating it as a daily driver, in tribute to her dad, who we're sure would be rightfully proud.The original column drop was fitted to the new Flaming River steering column topped with a Juliano's banjo-style steering wheel, and there's a hidden switch in the driver's door armrest that controls the passenger-side window. Another neat item is the custom acrylic shift knob-it contains a couple of filter-less Camel cigarette butts that were in the ashtray when Lori and her dad towed it home years ago.

* Colorful Fall Craft: Paint Sample Leaves
The leaves here in Virginia have begun to change colors and fall from the trees.
The girls and I have been collecting them while we walk our new dog, "Pippi"
(I'll share more about her later!)
We pressed a bunch of leaves last week and got some of them
out this weekend to trace onto some paint samples.
We decided to make our own "colorful" leaves -- with a RAINBOW twist!
We started by tracing a few leaves onto paint samples with pencil
but quickly figured out that erasing the lines after cutting them out was a pain
in the tush so we moved on to plan "B."
Tracing the pressed "real" leaves onto the
backside of the paint samples was much easier!
That way we didn't have to erase the lines after we cut them out.
The girls and I all had fun cutting out our fall paint sample leaves.
"C" has really great scissor skills for a 5 year old, I think it's because
we've always let her work away alongside us since she was just a little stink.
Pardon the dark photos, it has been rainy and overcast here all weekend
so the art studio is a bit gloomy.
Good thing we have "Happy Scraps" to add a bit of color to the art studio.
Such happy colors and organic shapes on the art table!
Fall leaves make me happy and these make me super happy.
Now we just need to decide what to do with them...
Any ideas?

Bianchi Infinito Derailleur Hanger $0.00
Crashing is a drag. A big, big drag. Strangely, we leap out of the gutter to check on our bikes every time before concern for body sets in. Even then, we know that flesh does its thing and heals on its own. Your poor bike on the other hand depends on you for the fix.
This is the Infinito Derailleur Hanger that you'll need if you mangle your Bianchi Infinito in a crash. It comes with two stainless screws to bolt it back in place of the bent unit. It might not be something you'd carry around in your seat bag, but it'd be handy to keep in your toolbox at home in the unfortunate event of a crash so as not to disrupt your training while waiting on a new one.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The chief of the Kinloch Fire Protection District has been charged with using district money without authorization.
Chief Darran Kelley was charged Wednesday with the unauthorized use of more than $140,000 between January 2007 and January 11, 2013. He is also charged with making a false statement connected to his receipt of Social Security disability payments, and three felony counts of wire fraud.
The indictment alleges the district had a bank account for the receipt and disbursement of district money. The district received around $160,361 in tax revenue from St. Louis County which was distributed by the City of Kinloch to the bank account for payroll and operations.
Kelley, 47, is accused of participating in a scheme in which he made unauthorized cash withdrawals from the account for personal use, including purchasing various personal items and gambling. He is also accused of transferring money from the district bank account to make payments on his personal Mastercard credit card.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded the district $237,500 in June 2010 to cover 95 percent of the total cost of a fire engine, based on an application Kelley submitted. The City of Kinloch chipped in $15,000 of city funds to cover the district's responsibility of paying five percent of the cost. According to the indictment, some of that money was later used by Kelley for personal items and gambling.
In April 2011, the district was unable to pay the insurance premium on the new fire engine, which was reported to be around $2,322. Private citizens made donations to the district, which exceeded the amount needed to pay the premium. Kelley is accused of taking the leftover money, depositing it into the district bank account, and then later using it to pay for personal items and gambling.
During the alleged incidents, the district had outstanding bills from Ameren, American Water, AT&T, and North Central County Fire Alarm System for dispatch services. Some of these bills went unpaid, and some services were reduced or cut off.
Kelley has been fire chief since 2002. The indictment states that on August 15, 2000 he started receiving monthly disability payments from the Social Security Administration for a personal medical condition. He was ordered to immediately report and work and income to verify his continued disability, but the indictment states he failed to report his work for the fire department and made a false statement July 26, 2011 on his Continuing Disability Review Report.
If convicted, Kelley faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 for each wire fraud charge, up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $250,000 for using district money for personal use, and up to five years in prison and fines up to $250,000 for making a false statement about his disability payments.

Ocean carriers are ready to listen
June 11, 2010
As expected, shippers attending the annual conference of the Agriculture Transportation Coalition in San Francisco had plenty to beef about regarding ocean carrier service contracts and capacity restraints. But a conciliatory note was sounded by Brian Conrad, executive administrator of The Westbound Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (WTSA), who announced that the cartel would soon be naming a shipper "advisory board" to address its concerns.
At the same time, said Conrad, the WTSA is playing nice with the Federal Maritime Commission, currently investigating this year's lack of vessel capacity and recurrent equipment shortages.
The speech was especially telling in light of the recent remarks made by the head of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee earlier this week. Rep. James L. Oberstar is now demanding an end to antitrust immunity for vessel operators in the U.S. In his address before the Washington Freight Transportation Policy Forum of the National Industrial Transportation League, he said pricing collusion represents a major threat to an economic rebound reliant on exports.

Hofstra off to promising start
(Page 2 of 2)
In goal, sophomore Chris Selva has emerged as the leader to replace four-year starter Andrew Gvozden. Selva enjoyed a strong preseason and played every minute of each of the first four games, allowing a total of 26 goals while facing 135 shots. "Chris plays with a great sense of urgency and leads by his competitiveness," Tierney said. "He's athletic and understands the defense." Selva is backed by senior Ryan Brant, a transfer from Ohio State, junior Eddie Collins, a former Long Beach High School star and standout at Nassau Community College, and junior Jason Rosenzweig out of Massapequa.
Opposing goaltenders have already seen enough of Varn & Co. Varn, Llinares, senior Adrian Sorichetti, and junior Lance Yapor combined for 28 goals and 15 assists through four games. Varn, who does most of his work in the crease area, is making the most of his promotion to starter after finding the net eight times a year ago. Llinares, meanwhile, got his college career off to an amazing start with five goals in the opener against Sacred Heart, including goal No. 1 just 3:35 into the game. He has eight goals and six assists so far. "Sam's the complete package," Tierney said. Sorichetti, a midfielder, led Hofstra in scoring in 2012 with 24 goals and 14 assists and had a 10-point game (seven goals, three assists) against St. John's. He's just rounding into form after a back injury and has three goals and four assists. Yapor, off a 25-goal campaign, is a slick playmaker with three goals and five helpers so far.
The midfield is starting to come together, Tierney said. It's a deep group led by Sorichetti, senior face-off specialist John Antoniades and sophomore Mike Malave. The unit was bolstered by the return to health of Coholan and grad student Bran Loizeaux, and addition of freshman Brian von Bargen. Coholan and Loizeaux both missed 2012 due to injury.
The Pride plays three of its first four CAA games on the road, beginning this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Delaware. The CAA home opener is March 23 versus Drexel at 1 p.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A flight suit worn by an American pilot who flew a reconnaissance mission over Cuba in 1962 that photographed nuclear missile sites under construction by the onetime Soviet Union is being donated to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
The family of Navy Cmdr. William Ecker, who died in 2009, will donate his flight suit Tuesday.
Photographs taken on Ecker's low-level flight over Cuba in October 1962 were used by the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to help prove Soviet missiles were being stockpiled in Cuba.
Ecker's flight was featured in the movie "13 Days," recounting that Cold War standoff 50 years ago involving then-President John F. Kennedy and the Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev. After days of extreme tension, the Cuban missile crisis was peacefully defused.

With the federal income tax deadline looming next week, people can expect Tea Partiers and others to moan and shout about giving some of their money for the common good. If those tax protestors really wanted to make an impact, though, they'd focus on making sure large corporations pay their fair share.
In the first of three debates for Ohio's seat in the U.S.
Senate, Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh
Mandel agreed on little and clashed on a lot. Each candidate mostly focused on the opposing candidate's record, but the debate today did move to substantial differences in policy at some
The debate started with opening statements from a noticeably feisty Brown, who criticized Mandel for calling his vote for the auto bailout "un-American." On the other side of the aisle, Mandel began his opening statement with a joke about shaving before he turns 36. The joke was the last time either of the men spoke with a light heart.
The candidates blasted each other mostly for their records. Mandel touted Ohio's and the nation's higher unemployment rate since Brown took office in 2006, energy prices and the U.S. debt. He also said the Senate had not passed a budget in three years, although Congress has actually passed budget resolutions in that time.
Brown fired back with claims Mandel had filled the state treasurer's office with cronies. He also criticized Mandel for running for four different political offices in seven years. In his closing statement, Brown said Mandel is "too concerned about running for his next job" to be trusted.
On substance, Brown and Mandel criticized just about everything about each other. Brown claimed Mandel signed away his "right to think" by agreeing to lobbyist Grover Norquist's pledge to not raise taxes while in office. He said the pledge makes it so if Mandel does take office, he'll never be able to close tax loopholes for big corporations.
Mandel defended the pledge by saying, "I'm proud to stand
for lower taxes in our state and lower taxes in our country." He added, "I will
do everything I can to advocate for lower taxes across the board for the middle
class and job creators as well."
The term "job creators" is typically used in politics to reference wealthy Americans, who Republicans claim create jobs through the theory of trickle-down economics. The economic theory states that wealthy Americans will hire more lower-class Americans if they have more money and freedom, essentially creating a trickle-down effect on wealth from the rich to the poor. Although Republicans still tout the theory, some economists, including Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, say the financial crisis of 2008 and the deregulation that led to it prove trickle-down economics do not work.
The candidates also debated their positions on the auto bailout. Mandel said he would not have voted for the auto bailout if he was in the Senate in 2009. In his defense, he cited the experience of Delphi workers, who lost part of their pensions as part of the deal auto companies made with workers after the federal bailout. Mandel then said, "I'm not a bailout senator. He's the bailout senator."
Brown responded by saying, "These are real jobs and real people." He then cited examples of people helped by the growing auto industry. Brown's arguments are backed by economic data, which has repeatedly credited the growing auto industry for the nation's growing economy. In the first quarter of 2012, the auto industry was credited for half of the nation's economic growth.
When he was asked about higher education, Brown established the key difference between the candidates in terms of economic policy. Brown said his policies in favor of government investment in higher education are about supporting the middle class to create growth that starts in the middle and spreads out, while Mandel supports tax cuts that emphasize a trickle-down approach. Mandel did not deny the claims, and instead blamed Brown's policies for the high unemployment rate and debt issues.
The men continued to show similar contrasts on the budget, taxes and economy throughout the entire debate, but there seemed to be some common ground regarding energy independence. When the topic came to hydraulic fracturing — or "fracking" — Brown said becoming energy independent would have to involve all possible energy sources. In substance, Mandel agreed, although he also praised fracking regulations recently passed by the Ohio legislature and Gov. John Kasich.
As far as energy issues go, the agreement stopped there. When Brown was asked about President Barack Obama's alleged "war on coal," Brown said there was no war on coal and claimed there are more coal jobs and coal produced in Ohio than there were five years ago. Mandel disagreed and claimed there is a war on coal. He added if Obama is the general in the war on coal, Brown is Obama's "lieutenant." Brown previously supported federal regulations on mercury that some in the coal industry, including the Ohio Coal Association, claim will force coal-fired power plants to shut down. The regulations go into effect in 2015.
On abortion, Mandel proudly claimed he was pro-life, while Brown said, "Unlike Josh Mandel, I trust Ohio women to make their own health care decisions." Brown also criticized Mandel for not establishing exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother in his anti-abortion stance.
Many more issues, from term limits to Middle Eastern culture, were covered in the debate. The candidates drew sharp contrasts in all these areas with Brown typically holding the liberal position and Mandel typically holding the conservative position. But despite the feisty language and deep policy contrasts, when the debate ended, the candidates smiled, shook hands and patted each other on the back. They will meet again in Columbus on Thursday and Cincinnati on Oct. 25.
With one week left until the next "Tea Party" event, more organizations are jumping on the protest bandwagon.
An estimated 3,000 people attended today's latest "Tea Party" protest at Fountain Square, this time commemorating Tax Day, and a CityBeat writer and photographer were there to capture the event in all of its sordid glory. [See the photo slideshow here.]
The Occupy Wall Street movement plans to occupy Sawyer Point this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., one of several protests planned in other cities since the protest over corporate money in politics began more than three weeks ago in New York. (UPDATE: The protest has been moved to Lytle Park due to an already scheduled event at Sawyer Point.)
The Cincinnati Enquirer did its usual muckraking on the subject, determining that the movement's "goals are vague" and then linking to a story quoting a member of the movement describing its goals quite succinctly:
City Council is considering increasing cab fares prior to the World Choir Games in July as part of an overhaul of the city's taxi industry. During a Rules and Government Operations Committee meeting Monday, Councilman Wendell Young described the industry as having little regulation and often undesirable experiences, The Enquirer reports. Council last spring removed a city rule that made it illegal to hail a cab. Among the recommendations expected to be made are the standardization of rates, an increase in the number of permanent taxi stands and the visible display of a Customer Bill of Rights.
The two men hired to beat a Columbia Tusculum man over a property dispute admitted in court yesterday to having been paid by Robert Fritzsch to whoop on Tom Nies Jr. The beaters will avoid jail time in exchange for testifying against Fritzsch. The beating was allegedly a retaliation after a court ordered the removal of Fritzsch's addition to his home that blocked the river view of Nies' house.
Robert Chase is a member of Ohio's oil and gas commission, in addition to operating a private consulting firm that deals with many of the private companies interested in making mass money off the state's drilling leases. The Ohio Ethics Commission this week warned Chase that such consulting work could present a conflict of interest, though Chase says he's not surprised and that he knows what his ethical responsibilities are.
NBC has picked up a
sitcom set in Cincinnati starring Anne Heche, who reportedly plays an
Indian Hill housewife who believes she can channel God after
surviving an accident involving nearly choking on a sandwich (with
humorous results?). The show, which will have a 13-episode first season, is titled Save Me.
The Obama administration might be hinting at considering same-sex marriage rights during a second term, but the folks down in North Carolina are having none of it: A state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and civil unions is on today's ballot, despite the existence of a state statute that already outlaws it.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is busting Mitt Romney up for choosing not to address a woman's suggestion that Obama should be tried for treason.
During an event near Cleveland yesterday, a woman asked Romney if he thinks President Obama is "operating outside the structure of our Constitution," and "should be tried for treason."
Romney did not respond to the treason comment, but instead criticized Obama's recent comments on the Supreme Court -- drawing a rebuke from the Obama campaign.
Romney says he doesn't correct all the questions that are asked of him and that he obviously doesn't believe Obama should be tried for treason. USA Today pointed out that the incident is similar to one that occurred during the 2008 election, which John McCain handled quite differently:
It was one of the defining moments of the 2008 presidential campaign: A woman at a rally for Republican John McCain, while asking McCain a question, called Democratic contender Barack Obama "an Arab" who couldn't be trusted.
McCain took the microphone and said, "No ma'am. He's a decent family man ... who I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues." McCain's response symbolized his discomfort with the volatile crowds he was seeing as his campaign faded during the final days of the 2008 race.

For a full hour Thursday night, Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh Mandel continued their feisty fight for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat. For the most part, the debate centered on the candidates' records and personal attacks, with policy specifics spewing out in between.
Apparently, the barrage of attacks is not what the candidates had in mind before the debate started. Throughout the debate, both candidates asked for substance, not attacks. At one point, Brown said, "I appreciate this clash of ideas. That's what this debate should be about." At another point, Mandel said, "We need less attacking, and we need more policy ideas to put people back to work."
These comments came well into the debate. By that time, Mandel had criticized Brown for "Washington speak" so many times that an exasperated Brown quipped, "I don't get this. Every answer is about Washington speak."
Brown also launched his own attacks, which focused on Mandel's dishonesty on the campaign trail, which previously earned Mandel a "Pants on Fire" crown from Cleveland's The Plain Dealer, and Mandel, who is also Ohio's treasurer, missing state treasurer meetings to run for political office.
But Ohioans have seen enough of the attacks in the hundreds of campaign ads that have bombarded the state in the past year. Voters probably want to hear more about how each candidate will affect them, and the candidates gave enough details to get some idea of where each of them will go.
On economic issues, Brown established the key difference between the two candidates' economic policies: Mandel, like most of his Republican colleagues, believes in the trickle-down theory. The economic theory says when the rich grow, they can create jobs by hiring more employees and expanding businesses. In other words, proponents of the theory believe the success of the rich "trickles down" to the middle class and poor through more job opportunities. Belief in this theory is also why most Republicans call the wealthy "job creators." Under the trickle-down theory, the wealthy are deregulated and get tax cuts so it's easier for them to create jobs.
On the other hand, Brown says he supports a middle-out approach, which focuses on policies that target the middle class. That is how sustainable employment and growth are attained, according to Brown. Under the middle-out approach, tax cuts and spending policies target the middle class, and the wealthy own a higher tax burden to support government programs.
Some economists, like left-leaning Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, say the trickle-down theory should have been put to rest with the financial crisis of 2008. After all, deregulation is now credited with being the primary cause of 2008's economic crisis. In that context, more deregulation seems like a bad idea.
Still, Brown's contrast to Mandel holds true. Brown has
repeatedly called for higher taxes on the rich. In the debate, he touted his
support for the auto bailout and once again mocked Mandel's promise to not
raise any taxes. These are policies that do end up benefiting the middle class
more than the wealthy. The auto bailout in particular has been credited with
saving thousands of middle-class jobs.
On the other side, Mandel told debate watchers to go to his website and then offered some quick talking points: simplify the tax code, end Wall Street bailouts and use Ohio's natural gas and oil resources "in a responsible way." How Mandel wants to simplify the tax code is the issue. On his website, Mandel says he supports "a flatter, fairer income tax with only one or two brackets, eliminating almost all of the credits, exemptions and loopholes." A study by five leading economists suggests a flat tax model would greatly benefit the wealthy and actually hurt the well-being of the middle class and poor. That matches with the trickle-down economic theory.
Another suggestion on Mandel's website says, "Help job creators. Reduce capital gains and corporate taxes, and allow for a small business income deduction." The small business portion would help some in the middle class, but an analysis from The Washington Post found 80 percent of capital gains incomes benefit 5 percent of Americans and half of all capital gains have gone to the top 0.1 percent of Americans. So a capital gains tax cut would, again, match the trickle-down economic theory.
What all this means is on economic issues the choice of candidates depends mostly on what economic theory a voter believes. Brown believes in focusing economic policies that target the middle class, while Mandel mostly supports policies that generally support what he calls "job creators" — or the wealthy.
On partisanship, both sides once again threw out different ideas. Although he was asked for three ideas, Brown only gave one: fix the filibuster. The filibuster is a U.S. Senate procedure that allows 41 out of 100 senators to indefinitely halt any laws. The only way to break the filibuster is by having a supermajority of 60 senators — a rarity in American politics. Brown said if this rule was removed, a lot more could get done in Congress.
Mandel had different ideas for stopping partisan gridlock in Washington, D.C. He touted his support for No Budget, No Pay, which would require members of Congress to pass a budget in order to get paid. He also expressed his support for term limits, saying lifelong politicians only add to the partisanship in Congress. Then, in a strange twist, Mandel's last suggestion was to stop bailouts, which has nothing to do with partisanship or gridlock in Congress.
Then came Obamacare. Brown said he was "proud" of his vote and continued supporting the law, citing the millions of Americans it will insure. Meanwhile, Mandel responded to the Obamacare question by saying, "The federal government takeover of health care is not the answer."
The fact of the matter is Obamacare is not a "government
takeover of health care." Far from it. The plan doesn't even have a public
option that would allow Americans to buy into a public, nonprofit insurance
pool — an idea that actually has majority support in the U.S. Instead,
Obamacare is a series of complicated reforms to the health insurance industry.
There are way too many reforms to list, but the most basic
effect of Obamacare is that more people will be insured. That's right, in the
supposed "government takeover of health care," insurance companies actually gain
more customers. That's the whole point of the individual mandate and the many
subsidies in Obamacare that try to make insurance affordable for all Americans.
Mandel made another misleading claim when he said Obamacare "stole" from Medicare, with the implication that the cuts hurt seniors utilizing the program. It is true Obamacare cuts Medicare spending, but the cuts target waste and payments to hospitals and insurers. It does not directly cut benefits.
The one area with little disagreement also happened to be the one area with the most misleading: China. It's not a new trend for politicians to attack China. The Asian country has become the scapegoat for all economic problems in the U.S. But in this election cycle, politicians have brandished a new line to attack China: currency manipulation. This, as Ohioans have likely heard dozens of times, is why jobs are leaving Ohio and why the amount of manufacturing jobs has dropped in the U.S. In fact, if politicians are taken at their word, it's probably the entire reason the U.S. economy is in a bad spot.
In the Brown-Mandel debate, Brown repeatedly pointed to his currency manipulation bill, which he claims would put an end to Chinese currency manipulation. Mandel also made references to getting tough on China's currency manipulation.
One problem: China is no longer manipulating its currency. There is no doubt China greatly massaged its currency in the past to gain an unfair advantage, but those days are over, says Joseph Gagnon, an economist focused on trade and currency manipulation. Gagnon argues the problem with currency manipulation is no longer a problem with China; it's a problem with Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia. If the U.S. wants to crack down on currency manipulation, those countries should be the targets, not China, he argues.
In other words, if currency manipulation is a problem, Mandel was right when he said that countries other than China need to be targeted. To Brown's credit, his currency manipulation bill targets any country engaging in currency manipulation, not just China. The problem seems to be the misleading campaign rhetoric, not proposed policy.
The debate went on to cover many more issues. Just like the first debate, Brown typically took the liberal position and Mandel typically took the conservative position on social issues like gay rights and abortion. Both touted vague support for small businesses. Each candidate claimed to support military bases in Ohio, although Mandel specified he wants bases in Europe closed down to save money. As far as debates go, the contrast could not be any clearer, and the candidates disagreed on nearly every issue.
The final debate between the two U.S. Senate candidates will take place in Cincinnati on Oct. 25.
Josh Mandel avoided directly answering a question about the auto bailout for five straight minutes during a recent meeting with the Youngstown Vindicator editorial board.
In a video released today by Democrats, Mandel, the Republican opponent to Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown for Ohio's U.S. senate seat, says he would have "trouble" voting in favor of the federal bailout of Chrysler and General Motors. He cites the case of Delphi workers, who lost part of their pensions as part of the deal auto companies made with workers after the federal bailout.
But Mandel, who is also Ohio's treasurer, refused to give a straight answer on whether he would vote for or against the bailout. After five minutes of phrasing the question in different ways, the Vindicator editorial board gave up in clear exasperation.
Mandel had a similar encounter with a WDTN reporter in August. In that encounter, Mandel refused to give a straight answer to the same question. After the reporter pressed the question, Mandel smiled and quipped, "Great seeing you."
But the dodgy encounters are not Mandel's only problem with the media. Media outlets, including CityBeat, have also criticized Mandel for his dishonest campaign tactics. Cleveland's The Plain Dealer gave Mandel the "Pants on Fire" crown for Mandel's consistently poor scoring on PolitiFact Ohio.
Mandel is currently down in aggregate polling by 4.8 points.
The video of Mandel dodging the Vindicator editorial board's questions can be seen here:
This week's issue of CityBeat profiles three of the candidates in the hotly contested race for Ohio's 1st Congressional District seat. Not surprisingly, two of the candidates are claiming that the other misrepresented or distorted his views.
The campaign of Republican incumbent Steve Chabot took umbrage at a paraphrased statement from his Democratic challenger, Steve Driehaus, that pertained to housing issues. It read, "Worse, Chabot hasn't proposed any legislation that would help the wave of foreclosures and resulting blight that has swept the West Side over the past few years."
Katie Fox, Chabot's spokeswoman, noted the congressman addressed the foreclosure and mortgage crisis by passing a bill in December in a compromise with U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) that gave bankruptcy judges the discretion to modify the value of a mortgage to the true market price and to adjust the interest rate. It applied only to debtors who file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and lack the income to pay their expenses, according to The Hill newspaper.
The Driehaus campaign responded by pointing out the statement referred to Chabot's entire 14-year period in office, and specifically stated that the mortgage crisis was causing blight on Cincinnati's West Side for years before Chabot acted.
Meanwhile, Driehaus also is criticizing TV commercials that Chabot and the national Republican Party are airing that allege Driehaus hasn't taken a stance on the $850 billion Wall Street bailout plan approved recently by Congress. Chabot opposed the plan.
Driehaus says he's made it clear he would've reluctantly voted for the plan had he been in Congress. "We had to do something, but I think it's ridiculous that pork spending was put into this bill," he said. "It would be irresponsible for Congress to allow the financial markets to fail."
Further, Driehaus criticizes local republicans for waging a whisper campaign alleging that he doesn't support Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Some West Side residents perceive Obama as too liberal for their tastes. Driehaus has appeared at events with Obama, and his Web site features a photograph of him with the Illinois senator.
Not everyone's convinced of Driehaus' sincerity, though. Democrat Eric Wilson, an outspoken Obama supporter who's running for the seat as an independent write-in candidate, said, "I know the political games. You go to the West Side of town and don't mention Obama's name at appearances."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Preaching the mantra of unity, the Los Angeles Clippers got back to winning ways against the Golden State Warriors just hours after disgraced team owner Donald Sterling had been banned from the game for life on Tuesday.
With the National Basketball Association having also fined Sterling $2.5 million for racist comments that drew outrage from players, fans and commercial sponsors, the Clippers rocked their home Staples Center venue as they beat the Warriors 113-103.
Two days after being pounded 97-118 in Oakland, where they were clearly distracted by the first reports of Sterling's divisive comments, the Los Angeles players were energized as they seized a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series.
WATCH: Clippers playoff protest | PHOTOS: Banned from sports
Chants of "We Are One! We Are One!" echoed around the arena during the fourth quarter as impassioned Clippers fans roared their team on to victory, center DeAndre Jordan pouring in 25 points, a playoff career high, along with 18 rebounds.
All-Star guard Chris Paul weighed in with 20 points while Jamal Crawford contributed 19 from the bench but it was the sense of closure following NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's tough stand against Sterling that set the tone.
Former and current NBA players are very happy and satisfied with Commissioner Silver's ruling.
— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) April 29, 2014
"I think it put a lot of guys' minds at ease in that locker room," Paul said of Sterling being barred from any role in the operations of his franchise or from serving as one of the league's governors.
"It's definitely been tough the last few days, but we've been getting through it.
Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!! #BiggerThanBasketball #StriveForGreatness
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 29, 2014
"When we ran out for warm-ups, it was one of the most emotional things I think I've ever been a part of. We have a tough locker room, all of us are tough, but it almost brought tears to your eyes just to feel the support from our fans."
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers had predicted before the game that a soldout Staples Center would be a "safe haven" for his team, but even he was taken aback by the crowd's high-octane energy.
"They were awesome, that's as good as I've ever seen them," Rivers told reporters. "They're unbelievable. Everybody was going through this. It's almost like everybody wanted to exhale tonight. It was good."
Repeatedly during Game Five, the public address announcer kept reminding the fans: "We Are One".
I agree 100% with Commissioner Silvers findings and the actions taken against Donald Sterling
— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 29, 2014
In response, the crowd kept raising the decibel level while waving placards ranging from "For Sale. Racists need not apply" and "I'm here for Griffin, not for Sterling" to "Everyone is Different, Respect the Differences."
Clippers guard J.J. Redick paid tribute to his team mates for rebounding from their lackluster display in Game Four on Sunday, and also to the crowd for pulling together in the wake of the Sterling controversy.
"Our team showed some great mental toughness," said Redick. "It's crazy to me to think that a team as good as Golden State didn't get our full attention for three days, and that's human nature, but we were distracted (for Game Four).
Commissioner Silver, FANTASTIC!!! New Sheriff lays down the law, kudos… Honest n precise.. #BANNEDForLife
— Reggie Miller (@ReggieMillerTNT) April 29, 2014
"You could tell tonight. We had a great crowd and we were locked in. We were focused and it was still a battle. They're a great basketball team and it's going to be tough to close them out."
The Clippers will aim to wrap up their Western Conference quarter-final series against the Warriors when they return to Oakland for Game Six on Thursday.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - River just couldn't get into the flow Saturday afternoon.
As a result, the top-seeded Pilots dropped a 46-22 decision to Fort Frye in the Wheeling Hospital OVAC Girls' Basketball Championships' Class 3-A title game inside Ohio University Eastern's Health and Physical Education Building.
Falling behind 13-2 after one quarter, River (16-6) would never mount any type of offense as the No. 2 Cadets (19-3) turned up their defense.
"Fort Frye is a good basketball team," River coach Rick Isaly said. "They're sound defensively and they're good on the offensive end.
"You have to play your 'A' game when you play this team if you're going to beat them, and we didn't play our 'A' game."
Fort Frye, which defended its title, jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead on back-to-back treys by Morgan Liedtke and Taylor Buchanan and never looked back.
Shawntell Parsons made it 8-0 before the Pilots would dent their side of the scoreboard when Cassidy McCullough scored at the 1:17 mark.
The Cadets led 13-2 after the first quarter, but River made a run in the second. The Pilots cut the deficit to 21-15 with just under a minute to play before halftime, but Morgan Liedtke knocked down a three-pointer with 31 ticks on the clock for a 24-15 advantage.
"That's something we didn't want to do is fall behind early, and that's exactly what we did," Isaly said. "We made that one run there in the second quarter, but the third quarter was another bad one."
Indeed it was as the Cadets held the Pilots to three points in the period, and seven total in the second 16 minutes.
"We just basically clamped down on them," Fort Frye coach Dan Liedtke said. "We tried to press some their in the second quarter and they were getting through us. We decided at halftime that we were going to go back to our basic halfcourt, solid defense.
''That's what we work on every day in practice. That's one of our goals is to keep the other team from scoring as much as possible.
"So, even if we're not having a good shooting day, we can still be in the game because of our defense."
River was a meager 3-for-15 from the field (20 percent) in the second half. For the game, the Pilots connected on 10 of 34 shots.
Meanwhile, Fort Frye shot 35 percent (17 of 48).
The telling stat, however, was rebounding where the much taller Cadets pulled down 31 - 12 off the offensive glass - to nine for the Pilots.
Fort Frye's Diedra Combs led all scorers in the game with 14 points, one more than teammate Taylor Buchanan. Combs also yanked down half-a- dozen rebounds, as did Micayla Hupp.
Senior Cassidy McCullough paced River with eight points. Jensen Caretti had three rebounds.

About AMA Supercross
Supercross is an off-road motorcycle racing sport that takes place on artificially-made dirt tracks with obstacles and jumps, with most races held in professional baseball and football stadiums. Supercross grew out of the sport of Motocross and shares many similarities. The primary differences are that Supercross is more heavily advertised and events are televised and held in major cities. Supercross was specifically tailored to TV and Supercross tracks are more difficult than and not as fast as Motocross. The "Super Bowl of Motocross" was held in 1972 inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California and 16-year-old Marty Tripes won the event, which featured top Motocross riders. The successful event inspired many imitators, and the term "Supercross" was coined. Modern Supercross races are governed and sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the oldest cycle racing organization in America. After steadily growing in popularity since the 1970's, the sport's popularity skyrocketed after 2000 and today is the second hottest motorsport ticket behind NASCAR tickets. Three Supercross Champions are awarded every year: Supercross Champion, Supercross Lites East Champion and Supercross Lites West Champion. World Supercross Champions are named by other organizations around the world. AMA legendary rider Ricky Carmichael is the only rider to win the AMA and World Championship in the same year.
There are 17 major tracks for the AMA Supercross all around the US and the AMA series runs from December until May and Supercross Class consists of 17 rounds. Supercross Lites West, which starts in December, and the Supercross Lites East, which starts in February, both consist of 8 rounds. The final round East-West Shootout takes place in May. Supercross class heats have 8 laps, and Supercross Lites class heats have 6 laps, with 20 riders in both classes. In both classes, the winner of the main event receives 25 points. Supercross class has 20 laps in the main event, while Lite classes have 15. Riders also receive a $1,000 Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot award for leading the pack into the first turn.The world of Supercross is changing and with it we are seeing a dynamic shift in the top positions in the sport. When the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) merged for the 2008 AMA Supercross calendar we saw a thrilling Super Cross that not only sold tons of AMA Supercross tickets but led to the growing popularity of spin-offs like Arenacross tickets and the Monster Jam Truck schedule. Current AMA Supercross combines the American Supercross Series and the FIM World Supercross into one championship. AMA Supercross tickets are moving and the AMA Supercross schedule is bursting with some of the best scrambling action seen on two wheels. The grand finale in Las Vegas, Nevada is a testament to the growth of AMA Supercross, as Supercross tickets to Sam Boyd Stadium sell like crazy. Everyone wants to see AMA Supercross riders like Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed hitting the course, because these guys are true heroes to kids into this electric sport.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Steubenville Catholic came to Belmont County with the idea of putting immediate pressure on the St. Clairsville Red Devils on Wednesday afternoon.
The Crusaders accomplished that and never let up.
Scoring in six of the seven innings, coupled with solid pitching from freshman Alex McComb, the Crusaders are headed to the Division III regional tournament at Lancaster High School next Wednesday by virtue of an 8-2 victory against St. Clairsville.

Members of the Steubenville Catholic Central softball team celebrate their victory against St. Clairsville on Wednesday.
"Our goals are always to make and win the OVAC and at least make it to the regional," SCC coach Jim DiCarlo said. "We knew this district was tough and would be a battle, but as I've said before, some teams have more athleticism than we do, but none have more desire, heart and focus."
The Crusaders will next face either defending state runnerup Bloom-Carroll or West Jefferson in the regional semifinal. Those two clubs battle at Pickerington Central next Friday afternoon.
While Steubenville Catholic is making regional plans, St. C. finishes its season at 12-12.
"I have give them credit because they really hit the ball," St. C. coach Rachael Duncan said. "A lot of them were true base hits. Offense has been our strong point this season, but we just didn't come through."
McComb went to the circle with a 1-0 lead and it could have been plenty more. St. Clairsville actually wiggled off the hook in the first two innings before Steubenville Catholic broke through in the fourth with a three spot.
"I really liked how we hit the ball early, but we left so many runners on," DiCarlo said. "I don't know how many we stranded, but it had to be terrible. Alex was sharp, but I thought our hitting was the difference."
The Crusaders produced up and down the order, but the heart of the order with senior Taylor Clark and junior Maddie Gulan delivered the big hits. Clark had a two-run single in the fourth and Gulan, drove in three runs, including a laser shot solo home run that hugged the left-field line.
While the Crusaders' offense was doing its thing, McComb just kept trucking in the circle. She actually sat down the first 10 she faced in a row before senior Beanz Hummel singled.
"Even though we weren't scoring all the time, I thought we kept the pressure on at all times," DiCarlo said. "We executed our game plan well in all three phases. We didn't get a lot of clutch hits, but I knew sooner or later that if we kept hitting it hard, we could get things going."
As the Crusaders tacked on insurance run after insurance run, it made it that much tougher on the Red Devils' offense.
"It's hard to come back once they kept scoring more and more runs," Duncan said. "(McComb) kept us a little off balance with her rise and change up. We didn't give them our best. While it didn't happen for us, we're still proud of a good season."
Along with Gulan and Clark, Steubenville Catholic's offense received solid production from junior lead-off hitter Micca Mirabella (single, RBI), Sammi Giannamore (two singles), Kelsey Grandinetti (double, single) and Megan Lloyd (single).
St. Clairsville's offense, which mustered six hits, was led by Alicia Avila's double. Mackenzi Otto's RBI.
