Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls on Thursday unveiled "The Qualls Plan to Grow Cincinnati," an outline of her platforms and what she would do during her first 100 days as mayor if she's selected by voters on Nov. 5.
The plan proposes three major changes that Qualls would pursue within 100 days of taking office: She would reinstitute the Shared Services Commission to see which city services can be managed in conjunction with Hamilton County or other political jurisdictions; she would propose a job tax credit for businesses that create jobs that pay a living wage and provide benefits; and she would "renew business districts" by making unused city property available at a "nominal fee" to local startups and small businesses.
Qualls also outlines seven other proposals for the first 100 days, including a review of city services to find efficiencies and cost savings and a "Mayor's Night In" event that would be held monthly to directly hear residents' concerns.
The rest of the plan promises more city-provided opportunities for businesses, expanded transportation options, investments in public safety and neighborhoods, employment and apprenticeship programs for struggling youth, new education programs and government reforms. It also includes plans to combat human trafficking, increase the city's use of renewable energy sources and make Cincinnati more inclusive for women, minorities, the LGBT community and immigrants.
Many of the changes would be made through partnerships and regulatory changes, which means they could come at no cost.
But some of the proposals would involve tax breaks, new city agencies and more spending directed at certain projects. The extra costs could be tricky for a city that has been mired in budget problems for years, especially since Qualls has proposed structurally balancing Cincinnati's operating budget for the first time since 2000.
Still, Qualls' proposals are made with the understanding
that economic growth can expand the city's tax base and increase
revenues. Cincinnati's shrinking population since the 1960s is often cited by city officials as a cause for the city's budget problems.
Qualls is running for mayor against ex-Councilman John Cranley. The biggest issues dividing the two Democratic candidates are the streetcar project and parking plan, both of which Qualls supports and Cranley opposes. The two issues took up most of the discussion during the first post-primary mayoral debate.
Read Qualls' full plan here:
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and ex-Councilman John Cranley focused most of their disagreement on the streetcar and parking lease at yesterday's first post-primary mayoral debate. No matter the subject, Cranley repeatedly referenced his opposition to the streetcar project and his belief that it's siphoning city funds from more important projects and forcing the city to raise property taxes to pay for debt. Qualls argued the streetcar project will produce economic growth and grow the city's tax base, which the city could then leverage for more development projects; that claim has been backed by studies from consulting firm HDR and the University of Cincinnati, which put the streetcar's return on investment at three-to-one. On the parking lease, Qualls claimed money raised through the lease could be used to leverage economic development projects, while Cranley said the lease would hurt an entire generation by shifting control of Cincinnati's parking assets from the city to the unelected Port Authority and private companies.
State Rep. Denise Driehaus and Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, both of Cincinnati, called on the state government to reverse its decision to not give local company Pure Romance tax credits. Pure Romance, a $100 million-plus company whose product lineup includes sex toys, was planning on moving from Loveland to downtown Cincinnati with local and state support, but because the state declined the tax breaks, the company is now considering moving to Covington, Ky. Gov. John Kasich's administration has said Pure Romance doesn't fit into the traditional industries the state invests in, but Democratic legislators argue Kasich's social conservatism is getting in the way of keeping jobs in Ohio.
Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder says he has "literally no thoughts" about the possibility of the state expanding Medicaid without the legislature and through the state Controlling Board — a possibility that Kasich hinted at earlier in the week. Kasich has been pleading with the Ohio General Assembly to take up the federally funded Medicaid expansion, but Republican legislators have so far refused. If the Controlling Board does expand Medicaid, Batchelder said the state legislature will likely pass some protections in case the federal government reneges on its funding proposal. Under Obamacare, states are asked to expand Medicaid to 138 percent of the federal poverty level; if they accept, the federal government will pay for the entire expansion through 2016 then phase its payments down to an indefinite 90 percent.
Documents uncovered by USA Today further show the IRS, particularly through its offices in Cincinnati, targeted tea party groups by looking at "anti-Obama rhetoric," inflammatory language and "emotional" statements made by nonprofits seeking tax-exempt status.
Cincinnati's newest police chief will be sworn in on Sept. 30. The city manager on Friday officially picked Jeffrey Blackwell, deputy chief of the Columbus Division of Police.

Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and ex-Councilman John Cranley today channeled much of their disagreement on the streetcar project and parking lease when they met for the first post-primary mayoral debate.
For both the candidates, the issues are about where they want to see the city going. Cranley says the city government lacks transparency and openness as it prioritizes controversial ideas to support downtown over Cincinnati's neighborhoods. Qualls says the investments are continuing Cincinnati's nationally recognized momentum and bringing growth to both downtown and the neighborhoods.
Whether the subject was the Metro bus system or bringing more flights to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Cranley repeatedly referenced his opposition to the streetcar project and his belief that it is siphoning city funds away from more important projects and forcing the city to raise property taxes to pay for debt.
"Money doesn't grow on trees," Cranley said. "We have to re-prioritize."
Qualls argued the streetcar project will produce economic growth and grow the city's tax base, which the city could then leverage for more development projects. That claim has been backed by studies from consulting firm HDR and the University of Cincinnati, which put the streetcar's return on investment at three-to-one.
Cranley argued Hop On Cincinnati,
a trackless trolley system, is a better option. He said the project would cost considerably less
and come with more flexibility since it wouldn't run on set tracks.
But in a 2007 letter citing swathes of data from cities around the nation, Charlie Hales, now mayor of Portland, Ore., found trackless trolleys consistently underperformed rail projects in terms of economic development and ridership.
At this point, cancelling the streetcar project would also carry its own costs. As of May, city officials estimated they had already spent $20 million on the project and cancelling it would cost another $45 million in federal funding and $14 million in close-out costs.
But expanding the streetcar project into a second phase, as Qualls advocated, would also carry its own set of unknown costs.
On other issues, Qualls touted the city's plans to lease its parking assets to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority as a potential avenue for economic development.
Qualls and the current city administration originally supported leveraging the city's parking meters, lots and garages through the lease to pay for budget gaps and economic development projects. But as the city managed to balance its budget without the lease, the focus has moved toward using the lump-sum and annual payments from the lease to only pay for more development projects.
Cranley claimed, as he long has, that the deal will have a negative impact on a generation by shifting control of the city's parking assets from the local government to the unelected Port Authority and private companies. He also criticized Qualls and the city administration for withholding a memo that criticized the lease's financial details and hastily pursuing the lease with limited public input.
Cranley also implied that the deal will actually lower long-term revenues by capping the city's parking revenues at $3 million a year.
"It's almost hard to respond to such misinformation, quite frankly," Qualls responded.
On top of an estimated $92 million lump sum, the city projects that annual payments will start at $3 million a year but eventually grow much larger. Qualls claimed the yearly installments would reach $20 million by the end of the 30-year lease.
Qualls also took issue with Cranley's assertion that the Port Authority is withholding contract documents for the private companies it will hire to operate Cincinnati's parking assets. She reminded Cranley that Port board members explicitly told him at a public meeting that those documents will be made public two weeks before they're signed.
The candidates also sparred on a number of issues typical of political campaigns: government transparency, negative campaign ads and rhetoric vs. facts.
But the debate also highlighted the large amount of agreement between Qualls and Cranley. Both agree the city shouldn't increase the earnings tax. Both claim Cincinnati needs to structurally balance its budget and stop using one-time sources for budget fixes. Both echoed the need to leverage federal support for the Brent Spence Bridge project. Both criticized the state for refusing to grant tax credits to Pure Romance, a local company that is now considering moving to Covington, Ky., because of the state's refusal.
Cranley and Qualls got the most votes in the Sept. 10 mayoral primary,
allowing both to advance to the general election. Cranley received 55.9
percent of the vote, while Qualls obtained 37.2 percent. Their opponents each failed to break 5 percent.
Voter turnout for the mayoral primary was only 5.68 percent. That was lower than the 15-percent turnout for the mayoral primary held on Sept. 11, 2001, the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and the 21-percent turnout for the 2005 mayoral primary.
In the past two mayoral races with primaries, the primary winner went on to lose the general election.
Voters will get to decide between Qualls and Cranley, along with City Council candidates and other ballot issues, on Nov. 5.
Following the Sept. 10 mayoral primary's historically low voter turnout, the Charter Committee, Cincinnati's unofficial third political party, is supporting efforts to reform how the city elects its mayors.
"It is absurd that taxpayers paid $400,000 for a primary yesterday that few people voted in, and that decided very little," said Mike Goldman, convener of the Charter Committee, in a statement.Voter turnout for the Sept. 10 mayoral primary was a dismal 5.68 percent. In comparison, turnout was at 15 percent for the primary held on Sept. 11, 2001 — the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon — and 21 percent for the 2005 primary.
The primary's results also went exactly as most election watchers expected: Ex-Councilman John Cranley and Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls overwhelmingly won, allowing them to move on to a direct face-off in the general election.
Prior to the Charter Committee's announcement, WVXU reported
on a proposal from City Council candidate David Mann, who
was endorsed by the Charter Committee and Democratic Party, that would
place all eligible mayoral candidates on the ballot in the general
election and give the job to whoever gets more than 50 percent of the
vote. If no one received majority support, a runoff would ensue between the top two finishers two weeks later.
But the Charter Committee is unsure if Mann's proposal would work. Charter Committee spokesperson Sean Comer says it would have to study the issue and make a final proposal after hearing opinions from a much larger group of experts. Until then, the Charter Committee isn't giving specifics.
Under the current system, voters select from all eligible mayoral candidates during a September primary. The two winners then move on to the November ballot for a one-on-one election.
Comer says the Charter Committee is working on broad reforms for Cincinnati's charter, and the mayoral primary system will be part of the final suggestions.
Ex-Councilman John Cranley decisively defeated Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls as both Democratic mayoral candidates won the primary election and advanced to the general election. With all precincts reporting, Cranley got 55.9 percent of the vote and Qualls picked up 37.2 percent, according to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections. But voter turnout for yesterday's primary was especially low at 5.68 percent; in comparison, turnout was 15 percent during the primary held on Sept. 11, 2001 — the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon — and 21 percent in the 2005 mayoral primary. In the past two mayoral races with primaries, whoever won the primary election lost the general election. Voters will make the final choice for mayor between Qualls and Cranley on Nov. 5.
Limitations imposed by Ohio lawmakers who oppose the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") have forced Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to give up a $124,419 federal grant that would have gone toward helping uninsured Ohioans navigate new online marketplaces for health insurance. State legislators say the regulations are supposed to clarify who qualifies as a "navigator" under Obamacare to avoid potential abuses and conflicts of interest, but Obamacare's supporters say Republicans are just trying to make the law more difficult to implement. Under Obamacare, participating organizations are classified as navigators so they can help promote new online marketplaces and tax subsidies to meet the law's enrollment goals. By losing its classification as a navigator, Cincinnati Children's Hospital can no longer help in that outreach effort.After getting approval from county commissioners, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is asking voters to renew a levy that will appear as Issue 2 on the Nov. 5 ballot. The renewal wouldn't increase taxes from today's rates, but it would keep property taxes $10 higher for every $100,000 of home value. It will go to the care, feeding and maintenance of the zoo's animals and botanical gardens. A study from the University of Cincinnati Economic Center found the zoo had a $143 million impact on the Cincinnati area in 2012 — representing nearly 3.9 times the zoo's total spending — and produced 1,700 jobs and nearly $1.6 million in tax revenue for Cincinnati and Hamilton County.
State Rep. John Carney announced yesterday that he will run for state auditor. Carney, a Democrat, will aim to replace Republican Dave Yost. He says his run will "bring much-needed bipartisanship and transparency back to our state government," particularly by ending the one-party rule in many state offices. Carney also took aim at JobsOhio, the privatized development agency that has been mired in scandals in the past few months. Yost split with his fellow Republicans when he pursued a full audit of JobsOhio's public and private funds, but Republican state legislators cut the debate short by passing a law that made the agency insusceptible to a full audit.
Two Ohio prison guards are suspended with pay after the apparent suicide of Ariel Castro, the Cleveland man who was convicted to a life sentence for holding three women captive and beating and raping them. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction is investigating whether proper protocols were followed to avoid Castro's death.
Campaign contributions to Republican Gov. John Kasich and Democratic opponent Ed FitzGerald came from people the gubernatorial candidates appointed to government positions. In the case of Kasich, the contributions are legal under state law. But the $1,000 contribution to FitzGerald was returned because it was deemed illegal under a county ethics law that FitzGerald helped establish as Cuyahoga County executive. Still, Kasich's campaign has criticized FitzGerald for the illegal contribution, even though Kasich isn't applying the same standard to his own campaign.
The panel reviewing the state's controversial facial recognition program will actually review the entire web-based, decade-old Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway for proper protection protocols. Gov. John Kasich and the American Civil Liberties Union are among two of many who criticized the facial recognition program for potential breaches of privacy. The facial recognition program allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information; previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases. The program was online for two months without an independent review of its protocols and before the public was notified of its existence.

Ex-Councilman John Cranley decisively defeated Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls today as both the Democratic mayoral candidates won the primary election and advanced to the general election.
With all precincts reporting, Cranley got 55.9 percent of the vote and Qualls picked up 37.2 percent, according to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections. The other two candidates — Libertarian Jim Berns and Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble — each failed to break 5 percent of the vote.
The two victors come as little surprise to most election watchers, who have long been calling Cranley and Qualls the frontrunners. But Cranley's strong lead has led to celebrations from Cranley's supporters and downplaying from Qualls' backers.
The city has held only two primaries since it enacted its "strong mayor" rules in 1999, which call for a primary when there's more than two eligible candidates. The two winners then go on to the general election for the final decision. Previously, the City Council candidate with the most votes was designated mayor.
In both the primary elections held since 1999, the primary winner ended up losing the general election. In 2001, Courtis Fuller beat Charlie Luken in the primary in a 53.8-38.5 percent vote; Luken went on to win the general election 55.4-44.6 percent. In 2005, David Pepper narrowly beat Mark Mallory in the primary 31.2-30.7 percent; Mallory is currently mayor after winning the general election 51.8-48.2 percent in 2005 and getting re-elected in 2009.
The results' significance is even murkier because voter turnout was a dismal 5.68 percent. In comparison, the mayoral primary held on Sept. 11, 2001 — the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon — had 15 percent voter turnout. In 2005, 21 percent of voters participated in the mayoral primary.
Still, Cranley's victory is being heralded by his supporters tonight, particularly because it might show a shift from Qualls' strong lead in early polls.
For the two camps, the contentious race is about which vision Cincinnati should embrace as the city's downtown revitalization gains national recognition and momentum. Qualls supports the streetcar project and parking lease, while Cranley opposes both.
Cranley served on City Council from 2000 to 2009. Qualls has been on City Council since 2007 and previously served on City Council from 1991 to 1993 and as mayor from 1993 to 1999.
Voters will make the final decision between Cranley and Qualls on Nov. 5.
This story was updated with clearer election results and to correct Cranley's full time on City Council, which the story previously said was from 2001 to 2009 instead of the accurate timespan of 2000 to 2009.
After getting approval from county commissioners, a levy renewal for the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot as Issue 2.
The renewal wouldn't increase taxes from today's rates, but it would keep property taxes $10 higher for every $100,000 of home value.
If approved by voters, the funding would go to the care, feeding and maintenance of the zoo's animals and botanical gardens.
The Cincinnati Zoo is promoting Issue 2 by claiming it's a good investment for the region. A study from the University of Cincinnati Economic Center found the zoo had a $143 million impact on the Cincinnati area in 2012 — representing nearly 3.9 times the zoo's total spending — and produced 1,700 jobs and nearly $1.6 million in tax revenue for Cincinnati and Hamilton County.
The "Renew the Zoo" campaign is already in full motion at friendsofthecincinnatizoo.org.
Today is the mayoral primary election between Democrat Roxanne Qualls, Democrat John Cranley, Libertarian Jim Berns and Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble. Qualls and Cranley are widely seen as the frontrunners. The big difference between the two candidates: Qualls supports and Cranley opposes the streetcar project and parking lease. Polls will be open until 7:30 p.m. tonight. To find out more information and where to vote, visit the Hamilton County Board of Elections website here.
LGBT groups, civil libertarians and legislators came together in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus yesterday to announce Why Marriage Matters Ohio, a new statewide effort to educate and persuade Ohioans to support legalizing same-sex marriage. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, Equality Ohio, Freedom to Marry and the Human Rights Campaign are all involved. The efforts have also been endorsed by faith and business community leaders, according to the groups. The groups say the campaign is partly in response to public polling. The 2013 Ohio Values Survey from the Public Religion Research Institute found Ohioans evenly divided on same-sex marriage: 47 percent supported it and 47 opposed it. But the survey went against earlier polls from The Washington Post and Quinnipiac University, which found a plurality of Ohioans now support same-sex marriage.
If he's elected governor, Democrat Ed FitzGerald says he would make changes to JobsOhio to make it more transparent and open to a public audit, but he says he wouldn't dismantle the privatized development agency altogether. FitzGerald acknowledges he would prefer a public agency to land the state's development deals, but he says it's unrealistic to expect the Republican-controlled General Assembly to repeal JobsOhio. The agency was established by Gov. John Kasich and fellow Republicans in 2011 to replace the Ohio Department of Development. Democrats have criticized JobsOhio for a lack of transparency that has mired it in several scandals and potential conflicts of interest lately, while Republicans insist the agency's privatized, secretive nature help it establish job-creating development deals more quickly.
In a letter to the city manager, Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is calling on the city to host town hall meetings with the four final candidates for Cincinnati Police chief. Sittenfeld says the meetings would help assess how the next police chief responds to the community and takes feedback. City Manager Milton Dohoney announced on Sept. 5 that city officials had narrowed down its pool of candidates to four: acting Chief Paul Humphries; Jeffrey Blackwell, deputy chief of the Columbus, Ohio, Police Department; Michael Dvorak, deputy chief of the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department; and Jerry Speziale, deputy superintendent of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police.
Hamilton County commissioners are likely to keep property taxes higher to pay for the stadium fund, which is running in the positive for the next five years after years of shortfalls. Last year, commissioners agreed to reduce the property tax rollback by half, effectively raising property taxes by $35 for every $100,000 in a home's value. With yesterday's news, it's looking like the property tax hike will remain permanent. Even without the full rollback in place, the stadium fund is expected to start producing shortfalls again in 2019. The rollback disproportionately benefits the wealthy, who end up getting much more money back than low- and middle-income residents.
Meanwhile, county commissioners might take up an insurance policy with PNC Bank to meet debt obligations on the stadium fund for the next three years. Commissioner Greg Hartmann says the plan would give the county enough time to refinance, which could help reduce the fund's problems.
City Council committees moved forward with two major pieces of legislation yesterday:
• Qualls' plan would enforce stricter regulations on the city's lobbyists and expand disclosure requirements for city officials to make the political process more transparent.
• Councilman Chris Seelbach's proposal would help address cellphone theft by making it more difficult to sell the stolen devices.
As it stands, the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund needs more money to stay solvent. Still, officials say the fund needs time for newly implemented changes to start making an impact.

Attorney General Mike DeWine's office is taking steps to secure Ohio's facial recognition program against hackers after potential problems were found. The program allows law enforcement and other public officials to use a simple photo to search driver's license and mugshot databases to get contact information. In the past, officials needed a name or address to search such databases. But the program apparently wasn't following proper security protocols and lacked typical requirements for passwords, including a mix of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Previously, Gov. John Kasich compared the program's potential for abuse to breaches of privacy made through federal surveillance programs such as the National Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Tomorrow is the day of the mayoral primary, in which voters will decide between Democrat Roxanne Qualls, Democrat John Cranley, Libertarian Jim Berns and Independent Sandra "Queen" Noble. The two winners will move on to a head-to-head face-off on Nov. 5. Currently, Qualls and Cranley are widely seen as the frontrunners. It's difficult to predict how many people will turn out to vote, but only 21 percent of Cincinnati voters participated in the mayoral primary in 2005.
A Cincinnati entrepreneur is aiming to innovate solar energy through his GoSun solar cooker, which will use solar collectors traditionally seen on solar panels to cook food. Patrick Sherwin launched a Kickstarter campaign for the project on Sept. 5. He says his original interest in solar energy came from a desire to move away from harmful fossil fuels that are warming the planet, and this project gives him a chance to inspire a small cultural shift.
Councilman Chris Seelbach will today introduce new legislation that will help crack down on cellphone theft by making it more difficult to sell stolen devices. The initiative will require the hundreds of dealers who currently buy cellphones second-hand to get licensed with the city and keep full records of the transaction, including a serial number of the device, a photocopy of the seller's ID and other contact information. Seelbach has likened the requirements to existing regulations for pawn shops. The hope is that cracking down on dealers will make stolen cellphones more difficult to sell and less lucrative to potential thieves.
Four finalists remain in the search for Cincinnati's new police chief: acting Chief Paul Humphries; Jeffrey Blackwell, deputy chief of the Columbus, Ohio, Police Department; Michael Dvorak, deputy chief of the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department; and Jerry Speziale, deputy superintendent of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police.

Republican lawmakers say they won't hold any votes on the Medicaid expansion until October or later, even though state officials say the expansion must be approved by October to have it in place by 2014. Implementing the expansion at the start of 2014 would coincide with the implementation of other major programs in Obamacare. Gov. John Kasich supports the expansion, but he's had trouble convincing his fellow Republicans to join him. The expansion would be mostly funded by the federal government, which would pay for the entire policy for the first three years then phase down to indefinitely paying for 90 percent of the cost. Earlier this year, the Health Policy Institute of Ohio released an analysis that found the Medicaid expansion would insure nearly half a million Ohioans and save the state about $1.8 billion in the next decade. Michigan, which is also dominated by Republicans, on Tuesday approved its own Medicaid expansion.
An internal audit found the city of Cincinnati has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have gone toward improving the city-owned Lunken Airport through poor management and technology problems. In response, Councilman Chris Seelbach wrote on Twitter, "Lunken oversights completely unacceptable. Meeting w/ City & Lunken Mngr to work on detailed correction plan later this week." The city is planning on making changes that should avoid losing revenue in the future.
Streetcar supporters plan to hold a fundraiser today for mayoral candidate Roxanne Qualls and City Council candidate Wendell Young. The fundraiser shows the extra steps now being taken by streetcar supporters, who have been proudly flaunting their support every month through "streetcar socials," the latest of which Mayor Mark Mallory attended. Ever since its inception, the streetcar has been mired in controversy and misrepresentations, which CityBeat covered in further detail here.
A central Ohio lawmaker is renewing a legislative push for attaching drug tests to welfare benefits. The measure is meant to lower costs and ensure welfare money isn't going to drug dealers. As CityBeat previously covered, the testing requirement can actually increase the cost of welfare programs: In Florida, the state government's program had a net loss of $45,780 after it reimbursed all falsely accused welfare recipients of their drug tests. Only 108 people out of the 4,086 accused, or 2.9 percent, tested positive, and most tested positive for marijuana, according to The Miami Herald.

Nightmare traffic stop: New Mexico man subjected to unreasonable searches
What should have been a routine traffic stop turned into a horrific experience for David Eckert.

Co-Chairman Hastings Interview with Erica Marat of Voice of America
Question: Good morning, Congressman Hastings. It is our pleasure to have you here at VOA. My question is: you supported Kazakhstan's bid to chair the OSCE back in 2007. Please tell us the main reason for your support.
Co-Chairman Hastings: That's a very good question and, I had been involved at that time in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe for almost 12 years and including at some point a few years back becoming the president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE. I worked with the Central Asian countries pretty much six or seven years after they gained their independence in the early '90s until today.
Kazakhstan has an immense amount of resources and they vector toward China, their Shanghai Group. They vector toward Russia based on their past experiences and they vector toward the West, the EU and the United Sates. I felt that the Western countries for a protracted period of time dominated, since the Helsinki Accords were struck, the leadership of the Organization, including all chairs-in-office previously. In my view, it was time in the post Soviet area – era -- for Central Asia and the other countries to step up. If you are mindful, you know that Lithuania is going to follow Kazakhstan and I actively supported them as well. All of these countries in the OSCE sphere have problems that I think allow that they should live up to their OSCE commitments.
I was in Madrid when Kazakhstan indicated through its foreign minister that they were willing to do that. I don't think they've met all of those commitments at this point. But I think they now have more than a responsibility to do so as they move forward. So I felt if there was one country among them all that could, from time to time, tell it like it is, straight up, particularly to the United States and Russia, then this would be the one country that I felt could push back with reference to many of them. In addition to the fact, I had the pleasure of serving as the lead election monitor to their elections, so I saw their activities during that period of time. I've been a critic and a supporter and will remain a critic and supporter. Twenty years isn't a long time to make a democracy you know. We talk about it from the West as if it can happen overnight. My recollection is that the United States is still a work in progress.
Question: So what are the biggest challenges that Kazakhstan is facing today as the Chair-in-Office?
Co-Chairman Hastings: Very, very good question. The usual refer to the frozen conflicts, but they also in my judgment have internal challenges that need to be met – the case of Mr. Zhovtis for example. I would hope that they would be busy about the business of resolving that. I would hope that they would move more actively to be supportive of NGOs. I think they are going to have to clarify their laws as it pertains to the Internet and their actions in that regard. And I think the president, if he really means it about democracy, is going to have to give up on the notion of being president for life.
And I would urge that everywhere. At the very same time, I have met with President Nazarbayev on more than one occasion and I have every confidence that he full well understands the need for healthy opposition. That opposition needs to be fertilized and fertile and rising with the thought in mind that there are other views than one. Those are internal challenges. The external challenges are the same as in previous years. Start with South Ossetia and go from there to Nagorno Karabach and you can go through what are constantly referred to as the frozen conflicts and then they take on the Chair-in-Office at a time when matters in Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia are bubbling again. They take on the leadership when Albania is being discussed rather actively in regards to whether or not they should be eligible to come into the EU. Turkey's ascension to the EU. They come in at that time. And with our partners, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Israel, Egypt, and Jordan, they come in at a time that we are going to have to begin looking at: can we bring Syria in; can we bring Lebanon in, and perhaps their biggest challenge is how they and others can collectively and collaboratively help with Afghanistan's stability and development.
That's a wide range of problems and doesn't even come close to the ones that are necessary to be discussed in every basket. Security, of course, is a vital concern. Russia has tabled a proposal for a new security apparatus. Kazakhstan is going to have to deal with that. And then dear to me and the activities that I've been involved in are the constant concerns that are expressed regarding the Parliamentary Assembly and the ODIHR as it pertains to election monitoring. Now as Chair-in-Office I would hope that that matter is put to rest and there are an abundant number of elections coming up, about 15 during the course of their tenure as Chair-in-Office. And I would hope that we would see a greater resolution of what has been an ongoing problem. Of course, I admit my prejudice in being in favor of the Parliamentary Assembly's role, as I think we have discharged it with regularity. But there needs to be a symbiotic relationship with ODIHR and with other institutions of OSCE.
May I please add one more -- further developments of the missions of the OSCE. I have been there. I saw the activities of the mission in Georgia. I saw the activities of the mission in Kosovo. And I know for a fact that they have made a difference. Kazakhstan is going to have to in my judgment, while chair in office, try to develop the consensus to increase and enhance the missions and in addition to that to make sure the NGOs flourish even in areas where there have been difficulties in the past.
Question: You mention that one of the challenges for Kazakhstan are the elections,
Co-Chairman Hastings: Yes
Question: --that there are going to be a high number of elections this year. Ukraine yesterday signed a new elections law that requires a quorum to include 50 percent plus one instead of two-thirds of -- agreement. What do you think of this law? What are your comments?
Co-Chairman Hastings: Ms. Marat, that was done yesterday. And Voice of America is ahead of me. I have not read the change in the law. When I was there for the last elections before the upcoming February 7 elections, it seemed to me the quorum that was in place and for all basic purposes, they met the fundamental standards for free and fair elections. The candidates were able to campaign freely. Now they could buy all the media that they wanted to. There didn't seem to be overt violence taking place. And I went to 11 polling stations, and I did not see any untoward activities in those places. One thing I know, I'm from Florida, Ms. Marat. And one thing you don't do is you don't change the rules in the middle of the game.
Now I don't know how the election will turn out and I'm sure the supporters of Mr. Yanukovich and Ms. Tymoshenko have expressed their views. I take no sides, but I would prefer that they not have changed their law, and I will read it, and if you come back to me, I will give you my opinion with reference to it. It doesn't sound good to me. My belief is let the voters make their decisions and for the determination of the election you shouldn't change what had happened in so far as the election law is concerned. Do they need election reform, you bet, but guess who else does, the United States, OK.
Question: Ok, thank you very much for your time. This is extremely interesting.
Co-Chairman Hastings: OK. Thank you. I appreciate it.

We've assembled this on-line encyclopedia of knitting
and crochet facts, abbreviations and instructions to help you find
exactly the information that you need to make your project a
success! You can probably immediately find the information you need by typing key words or phrases
into the search box below.
Gauge refers to the number of stitches and rows a knitter or crocheter makes per inch using a certain yarn and needles or hook. Gauge varies from person to person, so it is very important to make sure you are achieving the gauge of your pattern. Your gauge determines the size of your finished piece.
If you don't get the proper gauge, the garment will not come out to the intended size.
If you are knitting with a thick yarn like Wool-Ease Thick and Quick you'll make bigger stitches and have very few stitches and rows per inch. If you are knitting with a finer yarn, you'll make smaller stitches and have more stitches and rows per inch.
To make an accurate gauge swatch, cast on or chain enough stitches to equal approximately four inches and work in pattern for four inches. Take your stitches off the needle and, without stretching the fabric, place a tape measure on your work and gently pin where the tape measure reads one inch.
Count your stitches. Don't cheat. Make sure to count even a half or quarter of a stitch and include that into your gauge.

we have a user that's not getting any new meetings in her calendar. she gets the email notification, but nothing ever shows up calendar-wise. the weird part is things were showing up before and stopped about 1 week ago. no changes that we know of.
we can look at one of our conference room calendars and see she's the "organizer" for a few meetings, but they don't exist in hers.
i've removed all data and zdb files under her profile, uninstalled the connector and reinstalled and re-sync'ed mail and calendar with no improvement. i even tried setting her account up on a spare laptop with the same result.
i'm a little at a loss for how to troubleshoot this, so i'm hoping you guys can give some idea of where to start looking.

Our 51st Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week comes from our forthcoming publication "The Northwest."
This week we take a first look at the Dreadlands, one of the most repressive lands in the world called the Jörð. Before the Great Wars, this land was the westernmost part of the Æsir Empire and the western half of the North Duchy, ruled by Duke þráinn, a dark draug black necromancer. þráinn avoided being called into battle by convincing the now fallen high draug Martröð that he needed the duke to stay behind as a rear guard.
In the wars, the eastern half of the duchy was reduced to ruin but the western part, the New Homelands March, remained unscathed. Thus, the march and the duchy are the identical geographical entity today. One calls it the Dreadlands.
Duke þráinn dwells in his Eagle's Nest Fortress in the lower Foggy Mountains on the eastern border of the duchy and march. What is believed to be the world's most terrible dungeon, the Depths of Darkness and Hopelessness, is a part of his fortress complex. The duke has not left his fortress since the wars' end. He communicates his wishes to the Marchioness Dagrún, who runs the duchy and march on a day-to-day basis. Dagrún is a red draug black necromancer who is magically enslaved to þráinn's will. She dwells in Underhill.
Dagrún forces her will and þráinn's upon the population with her army of draugs, humans and orcs and the evil draug magi who serve her. The oppressed human population has little perspective for escxaping her claws and þráinn's. They are bordered by orc-infested mountains to the north and east, the ocean to the south and the triple princedom of Karelenland to the west. The latter, ruled by three light elven princes, is no evil land, but the Æsir of the Dreadlands fear elves and are afraid to flee there.
You can get the map of the Dreadlands in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (7 MB).
2. As a JPG flat map of 3000 x 1090 Pixels (2.2 MB), available above.
Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð web site.

Big 12 Upset Alert: Week 12 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Can't say I disagree. ISU squeaked past Kansas last year when, frankly, we should have blown them out of the water. The Jayhawks have improved this season even if their 1-9 record doesn't show it. Remember 2007 when we were 1-8 heading into our last three games and upset Kansas State and Colorado at home? It happens.
Based on the Ubs curse, we win? Right?
Cant say I disagree either. It is kind of weird though to hear us be the team im upset alert instead of being the team to pull the upset.
good thing he's hit like 1 of these on the season
Self proclaimed 2012 CF Newcomer of the Year
Whew. I feel way better about the game now.

yeah and that was when ISU was #24 in the BCS vs OSU, and we all know how that turned out.
SWEET! We are favored in a game!
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
He predicted us to lose to Tech and OSU. Not exactly 'cursed' if you ask me.
I'm gonna go ahead and issue a short man alert.
Good times on Hawkeyenation.com after the 2010 Wisconsin Game!
How many times has Iowa State been part of his upset alert this season? Like, 7?
Can this idiot sneeze without you all taking notice.

Saline Co. Sheriff explains what happened the night of his arrest | News
BENTON, Ark. (KTHV) - Days after Saline County Sheriff Bruce Pennington was arrested and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, he held a press conference Monday to apologize for his actions and explain what happened Saturday night.
On Monday afternoon, Pennington said this incident speaks to the citizens of the county.
"It just goes to show the people of Saline County that no one is above the law, not even the sheriff," he said.
Pennington took responsibility for what he called a "lapse of judgment," which led to his arrest. He admitted to making a mistake and said, "I'm human" before apologizing to Saline County, then promising it will not happen again.
The sheriff also recalled what happened at Denton's Trotline in Benton Saturday night, when he spent about ten minutes at the establishment. He said a customer at Denton's called Benton police after seeing the intoxicated Pennington leave the restaurant and get in his car.
Pennington said he never planned on driving himself home since he had two drinks while at Denton's.
"I did text a friend to come pick me up because I wasn't gonna drive but unfortunately, or fortunately, the Benton Police Department arrived on scene first," he explained.
The arrest came after the sheriff became angry while police attempted to administer a breathalyzer test.
"I was just belligerent you know? I couldn't tell you how many DWIs I've arrested in my career and I've never seen one that was just really happy to be there. And I guess that's probably my frame of mind at the time," he admitted.
Pennington said his friend did arrive on scene shortly after police. He also said he respects the officer who arrested him, his friend, for doing his job. While Benton police said he was charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, Pennington said he was charged with "public consumption."
Police said Sheriff Pennington was not charged with DUI because his keys were not in the ignition when they approached him.
The former Arkansas State Police officer has no plans to step down from his position and says he will pay any fines associated with the charges.
Prosecuting attorney Ken Casady told THV 11 Wednesday that he's made a motion requesting a special prosecutor because he and Pennington are friends. Wanting to avoid the appearance of impropriety, Casady said, "While we would have handled the case firmly but fairly, this situation is one where a special prosecutor is proper."
Judge Mike Robinson granted Casady's request, but a special prosecutor has not been appointed yet. Pennington's next court date is set for August 5.
This is not the first time Pennington has been accused in misconduct while on duty. To read about accusations from his time with the Arkansas State Police, click here: http://on.kthv.com/12hF4mN

Greetings all,
I've been having loads of fun lately creating many old school inspired dungeon maps and I thought I would share my latest creation (click for larger version).
Room 5 has a deep pit. Room 7 has a revolving door. Room 19 has a small pool/fountain.
I should mention that at this point in time, my maps are low resolution and my style tends towards an old school look with a little extra touches to the maps (but nothing too crazy because I try to keep things printer friendly). I have many other maps on my mapping site:

In Zimbra, imap usernames are in the form of the account name with domain name and a @ character in between.
Is there alternative delimiter characters between account name and domain names available?
I have a customer using an older eudora email client. Eudora accepts user name and server in one single string of text in the form of account@mailserver. The client fails to connect, probably because of two @-characters. On older email server, the imap server was configured to allow # and / as delimiters.

Officials warn of dangers on the thinning ice
Stay off the ice.
That's the message from firefighters planning to conduct ice rescue training this week.
Rochester Fire Capt. Joe Burns said he hopes the training plunge into the Cocheco River will be the only time firefighters have to don cold water suits this year.
"We don't recommend anyone going out on the ice right now," Burns said.
Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique said parts of Milton Three Ponds are ice-free, especially along the Salmon Falls River.
"It's spring now, so it's not safe," Marique said.
Dover Fire Capt. Paul Haas said ice should be at least four inches thick for people to walk on it safely.
Lee Fire Capt. Scott Newett said firefighters are keeping a close eye on Wheelwright Pond, along Route 152, even though he hasn't seen anyone on the ice in the past week.
In the best of circumstances, Northwood Fire Lt. David Wakeman said it takes about a dozen firefighters to rescue a person who breaks through the ice. People sometimes get into trouble trying to rescue animals, he said.
"We go out for animals more often than people," Wakeman said.

September 05, 2012
Reports from the West African country of Mauritania say Muammar Qaddafi's former spy chief has been extradited to Libya.
Abdullah al-Senussi was among the most feared members of Qaddafi's inner circle before rebels last year toppled the regime, hunted Qaddafi down, and killed him.
Senussi was captured in Mauritania in March, triggering months of wrangling between Libya, France, and the International Criminal Court over who would put him on trial.
The Hague-based court has charged Senussi with crimes against humanity for the killings of Qaddafi's opponents.
France wants to try Senussi in connection with a 1989 airliner bombing over Niger that killed 54 French citizens.
Libya's Foreign Ministry said on September 5 it could not confirm the extradition.
The International Criminal Court said it had not received any official confirmation of the extradition.

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. (WUSA) - A fourth school student has been murdered this school year in Prince George's County.
This time the victim was 16-year old Marcus Jones. He was shot to death last weekend.
Police say they were called to the 7700 block of Webster Lane in Fort Washington, Md., just after midnight on Saturday to find 16-year-old Marcus Antonio Jones outside suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Jones, a sophomore at Friendly High School, was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, officials say.
An early police investigation revealed that Jones was shot while walking to his car after leaving a home on Webster lane.
According to police, the shooter is unknown but they are working to identify a suspect and motive in this case.
Anyone with information about this case should call the Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit at 301-772-4925.
Members of the community are encouraged to attend the meeting.

What is now the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) was originally the entire University. Until the late 1800s, a university education consisted of studies in the liberal arts: the arts and humanities, natural and social sciences, and mathematics. The gradual addition of professional education to the curriculum brought about the creation in 1873 of the separate Department of Academic Instruction and Department of Professional Education. To relieve the president of increasingly heavy duties, a dean was appointed in 1906 for the Department of Academic Instruction, which in 1910 became known as the College of Arts and Sciences. From 1910 to 1928, the dean of the College was also the dean of the University. While the expanding functions of the University clearly have been reflected in the growth of professional schools, the College of Arts and Sciences also has expanded the scope and depth of its offerings. It now provides about half of the class hours of instruction on campus.
The particular objective of liberal education, as distinguished from professional education, is to help each student prepare for life in the cultural setting in which he or she will practice a vocation or profession. To do this, a liberal education must provide opportunities for students to acquire as much factual knowledge as possible about the realities and potentialities of this broader world, to learn to think about these facts and to evaluate them, and to learn to direct their own private and public lives in accordance with the knowledge and the discrimination they have developed. To provide this kind of education is the special responsibility of the College of Arts and Sciences of The University of Alabama, as it is of liberal arts colleges everywhere. The College offers opportunities for this kind of education to its own students and to the students of other divisions of the University.
Another phase of instruction provided by the College comprises those courses that prepare the student for professional courses in other divisions of the University. Specific preprofessional programs are offered to prepare students for admission to schools of medicine, dentistry, and law. College of Arts and Sciences students who plan to become high-school teachers choose courses in the College of Education to obtain Class B Secondary Professional Certificates.

Beastly Bits #35
We got a lot accomplished yesterday, but didn't really feature a ton of "new music" per se. We reviewed an album, showed a bunch of new vids, and gave you the heads up on the V Festival headliners.
So this morning, the bits will be nothing but a bunch of new tunes that we deem beast-worthy and primed to take over your playlists.
Swedish producer Beem's track, Manka, has been given a vocal edit rub by our pals :kinema:. We totally dig this skweee track, and think you need it too, so grab it below.
Estelle debuted her new song, Freak, but she's not the only songstress in the family. Her sister, H-Boogie, has a fresh cut with Get Far. Stream The Radio here.
Via Tania announced a whole new set of tour dates, and to celebrate, she tossed us her cover of The Presets' If I Know You. Again, yours a short scroll down.
Rad dude Diamond Cut hit us up with a handful of [read=5] new mixes. We're throwing you one of our favorites...a gorgeous interpretation of Radio Ink's Wish U Were Here.
Cool kids, The White Panda, delivered another great mash, this time pairing Dorrough, Knifelike and Ying Yang Twins. Wired to the Systems is a freebie as well.
mp3: Dorrough x Knightlife x Ying Yang Twins - Wired to the Systems (The White Panda Mash)

Gore Bike Wear ALP-X 2.0 SO Gloves - Women's $0.00
Riding in the mountains requires gear specifically designed for the rugged demands that high-elevation riding places on gear. They need to be warm without hindering dexterity or grip, while also being highly durable. Gore Bike Wear uses a combination of its Windstopper soft shell fabric with reinforcement to offer the strength, protection, and grip keep your ride under control.
The Windstopper soft shell is a three-layer membrane that, along with thwarting cold breezes, allows perspiration to escape. This prevents the gloves from becoming clammy during a climb, and worse -- an ice box during the descent. Along the thumb, Gore places an absorbent, soft wiping cloth to help keep thing tidy.
Speaking of absorbing things, the palm gets a specially placed gel pad to quell vibration to help slow fatigue. The index and forefingers have silicone grippers for positive shifting and braking, and there's reinforcement between the thumb and forefinger for durability. Finishing the ALP-X 2.0 Glove is a wide elastic cuff to seal out the elements. It comes in sizes XX-Small through Large.

Reviews & Community
Run small
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These gloves do a fantastic job in the wind and the 40+ degree temps. The only reason I am giving them 3 stars instead of 5 is because they run small. I used the size chart, My fingers are snug to the point that I probably should have returned them, but too lazy and or cheap. if you are near the size edge, size up. I wish they would just get the sizing righ,t as returns are pricey!
The perfect cold weather glove.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have very small hands and it can be tough to find gloves that fit. Luckily, Gore makes quite a few small sizes for their women's fit. I fit comfortably in the XS glove.
These gloves offer comfort down to temps around 45 and don't compromise dexterity much. I appreciate the small reflective details on the fingers and the extra padding for grip on the palm.
Also has good "wipers"!
Both shock & you know what, absorbent!
Get Ready...
Great gloves for intermediate weather. My 'M' fits snug, which is O.K. if it's not that cold out, but would suggest a size larger if you want to wear a liner underneath for colder rides (40 F*); but the lobster style gloves will be best for the coldest rides, of course. The Windbreaker fabric can't be beat for wind protection, and water resistance (but not totally water proof).
Great Cool/Cold season mtn. bike gloves
Well, why not for road, they're not clunky. Warm, and stylish. Great dexterity for a winter glove.
Love 'em
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great fit...vibration absorbition...wind blocking...warm to about mid forties (or so). They provide great dextariety & grip (as is described). I was between a M & L, but the M fit me perfectly, they are fairly stretchy (my fingers are on the short side (makes playing guitar a "stretch", too!). If you can't get these this season, try them next year. Oh, they look pretty cool, too.

The Illinois Department of Health confirmed Thursday a second human case of the West Nile virus.
State public health director, Dr John Lumpkin, says a 57-year-old Madison County man became critically ill with encephalitis. He remains hospitalized, but has been moved from the intensive care unit.
The fear of new west Nile cases pushed officials to spray for mosquitoes at the Springfield Fair grounds just before the big event.
Boone County Fair officials did spray for mosquitoes before the fair kicked off earlier this week and it seems like it's had a positive effect.
While fair organizers expressed concern about West Nile, they spray for mosquitoes each year. The spray cool temperatures and a dry summer have helped combat the pesky insect.
The only thing that seems to be buzzing and biting at the Boone County Fairgrounds this week is business.
West Nile has showed up in 53 Illinois counties. Officials say your best weapon is using a mosquito repellant if you choose to head outdoors. The Boone County Fair wraps up on Sunday.
