Royals Charities is once again partnering with 98.1 KUDL, 99.7 KISS and The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation to host another round of T.A.K.E. Defense self-defense classes presented by Sunflower Dermatology and Day Spa on the field at Kauffman Stadium in 2010. The classes, which are free-of-charge and open to females ages 12 and older, are scheduled for Saturday, May 1 and Saturday, September 25. Both sessions will run from 10 a.m. to noon. More than 2,000 women have been educated in self-defense at Kauffman Stadium since Royals Charities first hosted the program in 2008.
Participants for the 2010 classes must pre-register online at www.royals.com/takedefense. All participants must sign a waiver, which is also available online. Participants under the age of 18 will also need a signature from a parent or guardian to participate.

The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation was created in honor of the late Ali Kemp, a metro teen who was murdered in 2002. T.A.K.E. Defense serves as a legacy to Ali's life and has trained more than 36,000 girls and women in basic self-defense skills. T.A.K.E.

|Peekin' into the past
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Wednesday, 31 July 2013 08:37
Five Years Ago
Melissa Memorial Hospital board members met for a special meeting on July 28 to do a walk-through of the old hospital building and to discuss the possible sale of the building, following recent interest from a buyer.
At a special meeting on July 22, Holyoke City Council decided to include a sales tax increase on the November election ballot.
Despite not having an exhibit hall at the Phillips County Fair this year, the fair went fairly smoothly.
Ten Years Ago
On Aug. 1, Boyce Wernet will be passing on his custom framing and matting business to John and Julie Groshans of Holyoke, who are purchasing the business and will change the name to Jules Part Time Designs.
Two local businesses—Spindler Lumber and Atkins Motors—will be among 50 throughout the state to be featured on the Wall of Fame in the Denver office of the Small Business Administration.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has reported six positive cases of West Nile Virus in humans in just one week's time, including a case in Phillips County on July 23.
Twenty-Five Years Ago
Because the presence of many blackbirds in front of Melissa Memorial Hospital is becoming a health problem, a propane cannon will be used, starting this week, to make noise to scare the birds away.
Runners and walkers from Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas competed in the July 31 Phillips County Fun Run in Holyoke. Events included a 5K, 10K, kids' fun run and adult walk.
An open enrollment policy of Holyoke School District Re-1J was approved by the board at its Aug. 1 meeting. Prior to this year, tuition was required of students from out of the district who opted to attend school in Holyoke.
Forty Years Ago
The junior rodeo set for Tuesday night at the Phillips County Fair has had three new events added to the competition: team calf wrangle, chicken catch and the greased pig contest.
Mike Mailander, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Mailander of Holyoke, was appointed by Governor John Vanderhoof to membership on the Colorado Commission on Children and Youth.
An intra-team pentathlon was held by the Holyoke Swim Club members last Monday at the local pool.
Fifty Years Ago
The extended drought in Phillips County was broken Friday evening as rain varying from moderate to very heavy moved across the region. Holyoke received 3.21 inches of moisture, and readings up to 5 inches were recorded in Amherst.
A crowd of more than 250 attended the 4-H dress revue at the Holyoke Grade School Monday afternoon, July 29.
Holyoke Swimming Pool is planning a "lifeguards' special event night" on Aug. 12. This will be a unique event, with only persons 30 years of age or older being admitted—without their children.

I'm working on a Mac Pro using Snow Leopard (latest revision).
I have installed the most recent beta of Zimbra Desktop (version 2 beta 3). I have successfully synced with my cloud host and also connected a gmail imap account. ZD appears to be working properly, although not without some trouble initially.
No matter what I try to do to get the social zimlet to work, it fails. It either fails to install, or once installed it will not create an account for various reasons.
If I can get the zimlet to install, by manually dropping the zip file into the /zimlets folder, it will produce an icon on ZD the next time the program is launched. When I try to configure it, however, I cannot create any accounts. Twitter accounts result in an error fetching the authentication token (twitter: either the token has been used or the page has been used); Facebook authenticates and I can set permissions, but the account never shows up afterward.
Currently, however, I cannot get the zimlet to install no matter what. If I try to upload it from the ZD prefs, it fails. If I drop it into the /zimlets folder, nothing happens. And, oddly, there is currently nothing in my /zimlets-deployed folder even though the standard set of zimlets appear to be working properly and show up in prefs as installed. It's weird. I have tried several different versions of the zimlet too: the most recent in the gallery, several that were posted in threads, and the most recent version compatible with previous iteration of ZCS. None of them work.
I use twitter a lot and would love to get this working if it is possible. I am happy to debug if that would be helpful. But if this is hopeless, please tell me now so I can give up and move on to something productive.

In the past two years that IBM acquired Butterfly, it generated hundreds of Analysis Engine Reports (AER) analyzing billions of gigabytes and established facts about Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) that should make competition sit up and notice.
The Backup Analysis Engine report from Butterfly Software uses light-touch, agent-less software technology to analyze existing heterogeneous data backup environment. It is a non-intrusive analysis based on empirical production data collected in minutes and incorporated into the Backup Analysis Engine report from IBM Butterfly Software.
Why is Butterfly important?
Gartner Magic Quadrant: Backup and Recovery 2013 Competitive analysis says between 2012 and 2016, one-third of organizations will change backup vendors due to frustration over cost, complexity and/or capability. To be able to say conclusively that TSM solution can save backup infrastructure costs by as much as 38% when compared to some of the other competitive products opens the door for IBM to go get these 33% of the organizations looking for a change.
AER is the Key
More demand for AERs is expected with the launch of the automated "self-service" AER generation model. Scheduled to go live at the beginning of 2H 2014, it will scale out as a service to IBM and its Business Partners. These facts drive home the fact that Butterfly AERs have metamorphosed into a well accepted and standard approach to storage infrastructure analytics.
Meet the Butterfly Storage and Backup Assessment Team at Pulse 2014
If the butterfly flutter has caught your interest, visit Pulse 2014 on Feb 23-26 at Las Vegas and meet the folks who deliver Butterfly Storage and Backup Assessments in the IT Optimization section of the IBM booth. Find out how your company can use business analytics to dramatically lower the cost of running your backup and recovery or primary storage infrastructure.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- Transforming their Life Science Class by taking it outdoors! Students at Lanier Middle School created their own ecosystem in the school's courtyard.
They learned how to test water samples for Nitrite, in a vernal Pool they built themselves. 7th graders are also constructing a dry river bed, that doubles as a walking path and moves groundwater through the garden. They've also learned the importance of mosquitos in the life cycle of a plant all while they are digging in the dirt! Pretty cool huh?
If you have a Cool School send me an email email@example.com or at email@example.com.

Video: Britain's Got Talent could be Lucky break for contortionist singer Leilani Franco
10:32 08 May 2012
Musical contortionist Lucky, from east London, is poised to amaze the audience in tonight's semi-final of Britain's Got Talent.
Lucky, real name Leilani Franco, has spent her life being as "flexible as a jellyfish", to use her parents' words.
The 25 year old from Aldgate, who has the unusual skill that she can stick her fist in her mouth, joined the Philippine Ballet theatre at 16, and went on to study with the National Circus School of Canada.
The contortionist, who sings and plays guitar, said: "I really had no idea what to expect and I decided to just go for it to see how far I could get. So far I have been lucky. I really want to show Britain a different contortion-circus style and it seemed like a good idea."
Pop-opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte, who attended school in Chigwell, won the public vote in last night's semi-final of the ITV1 show to book their place in Saturday's final.
They will be joined by another pairing - Latin American ballroom dancers Kai and Natalia.
They finished in the top three of the public vote, and were chosen to go to the final ahead of 14-year-old Scottish singer Paige Turley by three of the show's four judges, with only David Walliams choosing Paige.
Other acts appearing in tonight's semi-final include 11-year-old singer Molly Rainford from Barking, the Twist and Pulse Dance Company from London and the Loveable Rogues, a band from Essex.
Watch the video to see Lucky's audition on BGT.

Fuck this quest. Seriously. I cannot get them to get off my Pit Lord's dick. I put him in a corner, they go and get him. I leave him attacking Kanrethad, they get him. I los him from the portal, they somehow fucking break enslave before they're even out of the portal. Maybe if I bring a mage with me he can make me a portal to Shattrath and maybe my goddamn pit lord will be safe there. Otherwise, I quit.
It's not about LoS, it's about having aggro on them so they're facing you and not it

For those who quote'd me,
I was 476 at the time, not anymore.
Also, as I said in the very same post, I might have been through 2 felhunter phases, I just can't remember exactly because it was 5months+ ago (whenever the patch landed);
Yes, I did have 2-3 minutes left on the doom. the very first time I didn't kill him because of this enrage timer but then I manned up and did more DPS and less "paying attention to stay alive" after I macro'ed everything.
Did you charge twice per cataclysm? the stun increases his dmg taken.
Did you apply CoE instead of Tongues? that helps.
Did you flask/food? I did.
Did you combo your CDs with the cataclysm stun? I remember I used to cast Chaos Bolt and when it was about to hit I'd charge him up, leaving me full 5-6s of stun to cast something else, basically a free 100% buffed CB.

Did it today on my 4th or 5th attempt, 501 ilvl.
The tactic of using charge on the doggies pretty much makes that phase trivial. Doomguards can be ignored if you get them to sit on Pit Lord. Potion the enrage away.
Such a cakewalk! I seriously regret that I didn't do it at lower ilvl.
I really don't understand how the Pit Lord can aggro Fel hunters..? Stand on the right side of his portal, Pit Lord on left. Put RoF on the portal, FelHunters goes straight for you. They die in around 3 seconds with the charge + flame + your own stuff.
I should've replied that 120k dps for an ilvl 520 guy is pretty good right? I am amazed at you people, for real.
Afterall, none should be beating Kanrethad at ilvl 476ish and the millions of videos on youtube must be fakes and everyone is probably lying.
Like, you took your time to post this about my statements but didn't have a second to think about it.
Kanrethad has 31m hp, enrage timer is 450s (7 minutes of doom + some of the roleplay/time before the doom is cast). That requires 69k dps to kill him using all the doom time available or 94k dps to kill him with 2 minutes to spare.
But, guess what! That must be impossible for someone with 476 ilvl gear to do 94k dps in an fight that you have an empowered pet, lots of demonic fury/embers from imps and also 100% increased damage from the charge every 40s? or so. Am I right?
Really people, try harder.

Read the signature rules
I have a noob question. Is this green fire look optional? Is it possible to turn it off or once you finish the quest you will always look like that?
But yes, that was my main point at first. It is indeed possible to ignore most of the mechanics at ilvl 480ish, afterall you are more likely to do mistakes if you have to time and coordinate everything. I'd advice people who are having trouble to give it a try.
My 1st post just incase;
The Devour Enslavement ability is a frontal cone AoE with a 100 yard range and they spam it every couple of seconds. In other words, if any of the three Felhunters turn towards your Pit Lord for more than a split second, there's a good chance it will break your enslavement.
Once you get the Felhunter phase down pat, it's just a matter of practice and maximizing DPS before you nail it.
Hate to say it but I give up... for the past 3 days now, I'll drop rain of fire on the fel hounds, watch it hit them, even fel flame them, and all they do is continue to run and eat pit lords enslave. Went from being able to consistently pass the first fel hound phase to being endless stuck there. That and it takes me forever to drop the fel hounds. Chaos Bolt is only hitting for around 35% of their health. I usually have to sacrifical pact before they come out otherwise they eat through my health like its nothing. and by the time one is down they already ate through the shield and part of my health. I seem to have terrible luck with this.
Just Downed Ebonlocke after 13 attempts ilvl 490 all tyrannical except for 2 rings and trinket....reforged everything to hit with 12% hit.
I did this guide which makes it to where you dont have to LoS the chaos bolts as ebonlocke will be hitting them on the pitlord and EXTENSIVE use of the portals, heres the guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9CORoqJE0g
The easiest part of this fight was the felhounds for me, actually....if you LoS the pitlord correctly and shadowfury the first felhound, havoc it, and portal out, they all go after you and its cakewalk to take down the felhounds,
at the very end it gets a little hectic because (if you think imps are easy to do, they aren't) the imps are harassing you while you have to manage the banishes on the doomlord while making sure the boss and the second doom lord is being tanked by the pitlord while making sure you are cleansing yourself of debuffs AND dpsing Ebonlocke himself...
I was soo MAD when i got him to 5% and wiped because of imps, after a successful hour after that, i got him down with a blaze of glory.
Refer to that guide and you never have to worry about chaos bolts and LoSing from it.
- - - Updated - - -
- - - Updated - - -
One thing worth mentioning is that you have to perfectly move that pitlord in the right spot, even just one foot in the wrong area and the fel hounds will go after you.
in the youtube guide it also provides you with the macros for pitlord breath, heals, banish, focus, charge that is ALL ESSENTIAL in order to defeat Ebonlocke.
ALSO another good timing to re-enslave your pitlord is during when ebonlocke is summoning the first doom lord and the 2nd doom lord. After the 2nd doom lord re-enslave, you wont have to worry about re-enslaving again. IF at any time during the first 2 phases you allow that fel hound to devour that enslave, you're fucked...make sure you correctly LoS that pitlord and use those portals. I NEVER had ebonlocke cast a Chaos bolt on me.
AND finally the timing in which you should use your purification potion is in the final phase when Ebonlock is just casting imps (the first round in the final phase), you should be able to down the imps and loose a couple chaos bolts and have about 20 seconds left before the ultimate doom buff goes off, Make sure you have no debuffs on you at that time and you should be good to go.

Great buck! And nice pics to boot! Congrats.
On thursday of the last week of the season in eastern Nevada, I spotted this guy in the distance without time to get to him that evening. Pictures taken thru my spotting scope.
The next day I set up for him in the dark hoping to see him close to where he was last evening. However, I didn't see him at all. I stayed on the mountain all day hoping to see some sign of him. I was running out of time with only saturday and sunday left in the season and a likelyhood of additional hunters being out on that final weekend.
I made a good decision late in the afternoon. Instead of positioning myself near where I had seen him the night before, I decided to stay high enough up on the ridge to have a view of a lot more country, hoping he'd show up somewhere else in the basin. He did! Along with two other bucks he was headed toward a water hole in the bottom of one of the drainages about a mile away. I had just enough time to make my move and intercepted them as they had finished getting a drink and were headed up the opposite slope. One shot from my 300-win mag at a little over 200-yards and I had my buck.
Great buck! And nice pics to boot! Congrats.
Good buck with some extra's, very nice.
That's a beautiful buck with lots of character, great job.
Awesome buck Mike. Congrats!
Very nice buck! thanks for sharing

O! That'll do just fine! Very nice buck Mike!
A bonafide city boy...that calls the Backcountry his "hood!"
Great buck!! Thanks for sharing !

COTTAGE GROVE, Minn. - One person is dead and another has been hospitalized after a shooting at a Cottage Grove strip mall on Thursday afternoon.
Cottage Grove police were called to the mall on the 7700 block of Harkness Avenue South just after 3:30 p.m. for a report of multiple shots fired.
When they arrived, they found the body of a woman inside of the Jimmy John's restaurant. A man suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. He was transported to Regions Hospital. His condition is not known.
Crews set up a perimeter around the mall. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting Cottage Grove Police at the scene.
Jimmy John's employees who were working at the time tell KARE 11 the woman was fatally shot inside the store. The witnesses said the man starting shooting while outside the building before walking into Jimmy John's and shooting the woman multiple times.
The man, then, shot himself, witness said.
Employees say they hid in the refrigerator during the shooting.
Another witness, who was in the bathroom of the nearby Anytime Fitness, tells KARE 11 that he heard what he thought was dumbbells falling. The sound was multiple gunshots, one of which struck the window of the Anytime Fitness, police said.
Police said witnesses reported seeing a man chasing a woman in the strip mall parking lot. Police originally said it was unclear if the woman was shot inside or outside of the restaurant where her body was found.
Security cameras from a neighboring Anytime Fitness caught what happened outside Jimmy John's on tape. A spokesperson for Anytime Fitness tells KARE 11 the surveillance video shows the man waiting outside the gym. The tape shows the man chasing and shooting at the woman, before she ran into Jimmy John's.
The relationship between the two people involved is still unknown at this time. Their names have not been released.
No other injuries have been reported.

OSTIblog Articles in the lighting Topic
Enjoy the benefits of LED lighting
by Kathy Chambers 30 Dec, 2013 in Products and Content
Every day we are bombarded with advertisements in every form and format telling us that our lives will be improved if we buy a particular product because it will save us money, reduce our work effort, save us energy, or benefit the environment. We are justifiably skeptical because we know from experience that if something sounds too good to be true, usually it is. Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is one of the exceptions. LEDs benefits are so powerful that they seem too good to be true; however, they actually do save us money, reduce our work effort, save us energy and benefit our environment.
Light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is a type of solid-state lighting that uses a semiconductor to convert electricity to light. LED lighting products are beginning to appear in a wide variety of home, business, and industrial products such as holiday lighting, replacement bulbs for incandescent lamps, street lighting, outdoor area lighting and indoor ambient lighting.

I see on that list, there are no salmon runs. We have fish runs now! Twice yearly I recommend locking your doors as these WMD's swim upstream.
Edit: Also the site seems to be rock solid again

Grab an old release that still includes bmps off his site (http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php d16 is working for me). Open up the zip file, copy everything in raw/graphics and the file data/art/mayday.bmp to the same locations in the new DF folder. Edit init.txt and change the graphics font to mayday.bmp, enable graphics mode, and set resolution and grid size. I use 1280x800 80x50 windowed.Apparently you can apply old graphics sets to the new game, anyone know how I might be able to take the old normal MayGreen (as opposed to the fancy png 40dx MayGreen) to the new DF?
I tried that, all I get is a black screen when I load it up (d16 is also what I used, being the only pre-png set he has posted). I'll try again.
Edit: More precisely I can change every other setting but when I change the graphics font to be mayday.bmp (well maydayMIX.bmp) I get the black screen, but lets see if that holds true again.
Edit 2: Yeah it does, I can change it to mayday.bmp, maydayMIN.bmp etc and I still get black screened.
Would you mind uploading your copy of the init and graphics folders? Though I can't imagine how the graphics folder would be any different seeing as its just a straight copy from the old DF
to the new DF
Could it be that I haven't moved over the mayday font somehow?
Last edited by Morberis; 04-01-2010 at 08:06 AM.
Yeah ok you also need to take everything from the data/art folder otherwise you don't have the MikeMayday fonts either, so it displays nothing. Thanks for the help!
Last edited by Morberis; 04-01-2010 at 08:14 AM.
Yeah but it should work with the new DF version (31.01) released today, right?
I guess i'll try to set it up as Mayday has on the DIY section.
It's semi-working here, the dwarfs are a bit off and other little niggles, but no black screen. Maybe try maydayMAX?
It's funny but i've grown so used to it (the mayday tileset) that seeing the original DF feels strange... and much uglier. :D
Can't believe I'm about to go to work on DF-Day. What has become of me?
First day back to work after 1.5 weeks of vacation, and this is what happens?! Argh!
Hey hey does anyone know if dwarf therapist or any dwarf manager works with this one.
Seems to work (that link) fine but it's windowed, the usual intro pop-up for fullscreen/windowed doesn't even show up.
I reckon you changed the init file, should be just a matter of editing, right?
Edit: I tried changing the init file to prompt but it crashes and runs in windowed... hmm...
I can't seem to gen past the year 200, but I can stop it before that. As the years go by it starts hanging more frequently, maybe those hangs are whats causing it *shrug*
But time to play!
Edit: Yeah the graphics set doesn't work completely correctly, river bends show up as blanks as does the H in hot for temperature, but mehhh
Did you guys replace your raws with dfg16? Definitely make sure you're using the raws from df_31_01 for now. Also, I actually did do worldgen before I changed the graphics, so might need to do worldgen in text mode, then switch to graphics for gameplay. In any case it's working fine for normal gameplay here..
Oooh, oozes on the embark screen!
I'm using maydayMAX (you can look at the init.txt in that zip I posted). As I said my dwarfs and other mobiles are not right. It's probably just a matter of editing mayday_graphics.txt to correspond to the new creature IDs, but I haven't bothered.. items/walls/furniture are enough graphics for me.
Hmm, just changed it to maydayMAX as opposed to maydayMIX and you're right that one does work perfectly, well aside from worldgen crashes. Last one was a runtime error apparently.
Aspad was a forgotten beast. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic noseless pig. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it appears to be emaciated. Its black hair is long and wavy. Beware its deadly blood! Aspad was associated with water, chaos and caverns.
In a time before time, Aspad began wandering the depths of the world.

I've been having some issues with sending mail from and to the root account on my Zimbra server (for example the output of cron jobs and other application e.g. firewall notifications).
I found that the regular sendmail functionality is broken by default I managed to fix this by following these instructions. However I am still experiencing issues with the output of cron jobs.
I created a test script that generates some output to see what the problem is and I get the following error message in my "/var/log/syslog" file.
When I send mail from the command line using the following snippet it does get sent correctly. It didn't work before but after applying the tutorial mentioned above it worked.Code:Jun 29 13:55:01 zimbra CRON[30581]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)
I also configured the "/opt/zimbra/postfix-184.108.40.206z/conf/aliases" file to point the "root" alias to the mail address where I want to receive these types of messages on.Code:echo "Testing 1 2 3" | mail -s "Test mail message" root
I am running the latest LTS of Ubuntu (12.04.2). Does anybody know how I can fix this issue?
Kind regards,

In addition to the features listed above, 390 Trumpets come standard with nickel silver mouthpipe tubes that prevent corrosion, as well as seamless yellow brass bells. 390 Trumpets are also built around nickel plated, nickel silver pistons that are made to the same quality standards as the top line Getzen instruments.
The 390 trumpets feature a nickel silver mouthpipe and inside slides to help prevent stuck slides and corrosion. Fast nickel plated valves have a lifetime guarantee.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- You've got problems and we are getting you solutions.

Vienna, Virginia couple Michelle and Howard decided to switch their home security service from one company to another. The new company told them it would cost $355 to install new equipment. They agreed and signed the contract. But when they received their credit card statement, the bill had ballooned to more than $750. Michelle and Howard were told the increase was due to additional work, they said never happened. The couple turned to Call For Action and our team got to work and got that extra $375 they were charged refunded.
Mary in District Heights, Maryland complained to Pepco for two months about a $2,000 utility bill she received in October 2012.

Random bits and pieces from the month of August that I caught along my cycle ways that are worth posting. Top photo: after over 6 months of nudging my Swedish-Egyptian expat neighbors, they finally acted upon it and got themselves two 2nd hand, practical bikes. With crate. For their French bull terrier Baby. The rain, oh the rain. The summer of 2011 went down as the wettest on record since 1906. Harsher winters, spring turns out to be our summer (yet again) and summers turn to fall. Nothing to see, moving on

It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
A new Census Bureau report reveals that from 2005 to 2009, a segment of Over-the-Rhine had the highest income inequality of more than 61,000 communities nationwide.
The segment — known as Census Tract No. 17 — is the northeast quadrant of Over-the-Rhine. The findings were featured in an article Tuesday by McClatchy Newspapers, which attributes the disparity in the tract partially to gentrification and the influx of young professionals into the predominantly low-income neighborhood.
Occupy Cincinnati protesters have asked a judge to throw all charges against them, arguing that the park rules are unconstitutional which means their punishments shouldn't exist. The cases are expected to be delayed until the constitutional argument is figured out.
Two county commissioners say they want to help the county's Job and Family Services agency after an Enquirer analysis detailed massive funding, technology and staffing shortages that might have contributed to the deaths of three toddlers during the last 10 months. Republican Greg Hartmann and Democrat Todd Portune have suggested the agency use money from a reserve set aside for an expected bookkeeping penalty while they vote on a budget that will stay the same as last year.
Streetcar proponents have spent considerably more on their campaign than the anti-streetcar people, probably because Issue 48 is so wide-reaching it has brought out people concerned with things way more important than the streetcar such as regional planning, commuter rail and making Cincinnati not look like it totally sucks.
Also being outspent are the SB 5 supporters, who have seen support decline dramatically in recent weeks as people look around their neighborhoods and see a bunch of regular people whose rights would be taken away. And Building a Better Ohio does unethical things like this, which makes people think they are meanies.
Here's a blog about City Council candidate Chris Smitherman arguing against all the legal experts who say Issue 48 will block all rail construction through 2020.
The person who often ranks in polls as the most popular politician in Hamilton County is breaking with his Republican colleagues and is appearing in a new radio commercial urging a "no" vote on Issue 48.
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. asks residents to oppose the anti-streetcar initiative that was placed on the ballot by the NAACP's local chapter and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). The commercial will begin airing Wednesday during the morning drive time period on WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM), two stations with predominately conservative, Republican audiences.
The city of Cincinnati is planning to restripe a section of Martin Luther King Drive between Reading Road and Victory Parkway and would like input from cyclists who commute into Clifton and Walnut Hills. Queen City Bike today sent out an email asking anyone who regularly uses the route to fill out an online survey to help planners determine which infrastructure improvements to make.
Queen City Bike today sent out an email asking for help in convincing St. Bernard Service Director Phil Stegman why including a climbing lane on Mitchell Avenue between Vine Street and Reading Road is important to the area's cycling infrastructure. According to QCB, St. Bernard's engineers prefer to keep 10 feet of space for parking rather than use 8 feet for parking and include the bike lane. The city of Cincinnati, which owns half the road, needs St. Bernard to sign off on the infrastructure improvement, according to QCB.
In at least one important aspect, Greater Cincinnati hasn't changed much during the past decade.
Data from the 2010 U.S. Census shows the region is the eighth-most racially segregated metropolitan area in the nation, the same ranking it held after the 2000 count.
When CityBeat heard the Westwood Civic Association was planning a so-called "West Side Summit," the group's leader responded that he was seeking input from various West Side neighborhood groups and that they could help set the agenda.
A recent e-mail exchange between WCA President John Sess and a Community Press reporter, however, in which Sess attempts to get publicity for the event, paints a somewhat different picture about its purpose.

ANNANDALE, Va. (WUSA) - Every day in Annandale, the construction site for a new home turns into a classroom. The workers are high school students with the Building Futures program at the Phillips alternative high school.
"That's pretty amazing. I mean, who else does that?" said Cedric Streeter, a student builder.
"These are students that have typically not done well in a traditional educational program. Sitting in a classroom for seven hours a day just didn't work. So our students come, they do academic work for half the day and then they switch and work on the job site for the other half of the day," said program manager Alan Peck.
Student builder Patrick Froe said the program makes learning exciting for him because he actually gets "to do the hands-on stuff."
"These are students who in a traditionally public school setting have often been told what they can't do. I think the Phillips Building Futures Program has really showed them what they can do," said Sarah Caldwell with Phillips.
If it were a professional construction site, the emphasis would be on getting the job done, probably about six months to build one house. But Building Futures takes two years to finish a house because the focus is on learning, not profit.
When Cedric Streeter drives past the house down the street that he worked on, he thinks, "Man, I built that!" And that's pretty cool for a high school student.
Building Futures students have been putting up houses on Holyoke for 14 years, with Robert Jackson as foreman along with one of the teachers.
