Cincinnati voters will decide in November whether to double the length of their council members' terms.
City Council voted 6-3 on Wednesday to put the ballot initiative before voters. The measure would have all nine members run at the same time, instead of a competing ballot initiative that would have staggered their terms.
"We are the only major city in Ohio that still has two-year terms for its leaders, and the cities that we compete with are also moving to four-year terms, including Louisville and as far as St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver and Atlanta," said Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan, who spearheaded the effort.
If approved by voters, the change wouldn't affect council members serving currently and would go into effect in 2013.
Not every council member was thrilled with the idea.
"I think accountability is paramount, and I don't see going from two-year terms to four-year terms as increasing the accountability citizens want," said Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, who was one of three new faces to join council in last year's election, which saw four Republican incumbents booted from City Hall.
"I'm sure it's not lost on my colleagues that last November the electorate was craving change and wanted change, and if we had been in the middle of a four-year cycle they wouldn't have had the opportunity to make that change and a substantial portion of this council … wouldn't be sitting up here today."
Sittenfeld equated an election to a job evaluation. He, along with councilmembers Chris Smitherman and Charles Winburn, voted against the ordinance.
Quinlivan has said her rationale for pushing four-year terms would be to eliminate the cycle that currently has sitting council members spending half of their terms campaigning.
Councilman Cecil Thomas said four-year terms would allow council members to focus on longer-term projects as well.
"Four years gives us plenty of time to gel together, to work together," Thomas said.
Councilman Chris Seelbach attended all four public hearings council held throughout the city and called the number of people who support four-year terms "unbelievable." Seelbach said he himself was "semi-conflicted" over the proposed changes, but was not conflicted over whether voters should have that choice: He voted in favor.
Mayor Mark Mallory was sure to remind councilmembers before their vote that they are forbidden from using city resources to campaign for a ballot initiative.
The good news first: Most of HB 194 is being repealed. It's good to see Republicans follow the advice of Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a moderate Republican who called or the repeal of HB 194 earlier this year.The bad news: Some new limits on voting rights are going to remain in place, and the entire repeal process, which involves the passing of SB 295, might be unconstitutional.
While it's good to see HB 194 repealed, it's not the only voting law Republicans enacted last year. The Ohio legislature also passed HB 224, which prohibited voting the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before election day.For Democrats, this poses a bit of a problem. Democrats are happy to see most of the restrictions on voting repealed, but they want to see all of the restrictions repealed. If SB 295 passes, Democrats worry that the rest of the restrictions won't be repealed because Republicans will think they have done enough.
Even the Obama team spoke on this issue. In an email to Obama supporters Tuesday, Greg Schultz, the Ohio State Director on the Obama team, urged voters to speak up: "This bill could mean an end to our last three days of early voting this November — and would change the rules, right in the middle of an election year. It's an unambiguous attack on our voting rights."The other problem is the repeal could be unconstitutional. After HB 194 passed, voters were quick to speak out against the new law and put it up for referendum in the November 2012 ballot. So Republicans are repealing a law that is already up for referendum. This is the first time that's happened in the Ohio legislature, and Democrats claim it might be unconstitutional.
The lawsuit claims that Hebert was complying with instructions given by an investigating officer when he was shot and killed by Mitchell. The suit claims excessive force was used and that Mitchell "acted intentionally, recklessly, wantonly, and with deliberate indifference to the constitutional rights of Mr. Hebert."
Hebert was shot and killed by Mitchell after officers responded to a 911 call around 3 a.m. during which an intoxicated man alleged to have been robbed by Hebert and assaulted with a pirate sword. Hebert was located sitting on a sidewalk on Chase Avenue in Northside about 10 minutes later. During subsequent questioning, officers say Hebert drew a knife and moved toward an investigating officer, causing Mitchell to believe the officer's life was in danger. Mitchell shot Hebert twice, killing him. Toxicology reports found Hebert to have a blood alcohol content of 0.33 at the time of his death, along with marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his system.
Three investigations cleared police of any wrongdoing, but Friends of Bones says the facts from the investigations show Hebert complied with police orders during the encounter.
The lawsuit demands a trial by jury and compensatory and punitive damages, along with attorney's fees, costs, disbursements and additional relief as the court deems proper. The suit, which is embedded below, was published on the "Friends of Bones" website (www.friendsofbones.org).
The incident has drawn considerable media attention, especially this week in conjunction with the anniversary of the shooting.
The Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday published a story titled "Reports: Cops came too close in killing of David 'Bones' Hebert" comparing accounts of the incident in public records to standard Cincinnati Police Department guidelines, which concluded that "police officers got dangerously close and failed to have a plan before approaching Hebert, who police thought was carrying a sword or large knife."
Cincinnati Magazine's May issue will feature a story, "Salvaging Bones," which is subtitled: "David Hebert was a lot of things: the dreadlocked maker of burritos; a punk rocker; a womanizing, tatted-up former Jesus freak with a kind heart and a wild streak. What he wasn't was a guy you'd expect to find dead at the end of a police standoff."
CityBeat on Sept. 14, 2011 published a story titled "Digging Up Answers for Bones" in which friends and family of Hebert alleged that Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters' closing of the investigation was politically motivated.
CityBeat on May
4, 2011 published a story titled "A Shot in the Dark," detailing
the early questions that surrounded the incident.

WHEELING - Leading 34-31 at halftime against once-beaten Clay-Battelle, the Wheeling Central girls' basketball team turned to the two players that have been the keys to their success during the past three seasons.
Colleen McCormick and Emily Bucon combined to score the Maroon Knights first 18 points of the third quarter during a 24-2 run that set the tone for an 81-46 victory that propelled Coach Penn Kurtz's defending champions into the OVAC Class 2A final.
Central (17-3) will face the winner of tonight's Shadyside at Bridgeport game in the 10 a.m. conference championship contest on Saturday at the Ohio University Eastern campus.
Article Photos
Wheeling Central's Maria Olson (2) drives against Clay-Battelle's Breann Dean during Tuesday night's Class 2A semifinal of the Wheeling Hospital OVAC Tournament.
McCormick pumped in 10 points during the third quarter and finished with a game-high 29 points and seven rebounds, while Bucon went 7-for-7 from the floor after halftime to wind up with 22 points.
Along with the usual scoring achievements by the two Maroon Knights standouts, Kurtz was thrilled with the play of his team's defense coming out of the locker room after halftime.
''In the first half we did not defend very well and we talked about the easy baskets we were giving up," Kurtz said. ''When we came out for the second half, we picked up the intensity of the defense and Beth Stayduhar got a couple of big steals early to get us rolling. I thought we needed to get up and down the floor and try to wear them out. It was hot in here and we can run 10 or 11 people on the floor. Our depth was definitely a factor in the second half," he added.
Clay-Battelle (14-2) came into the game ranked second among the West Virginia Class A teams, one notch ahead of the Maroon Knights.
For a while it appeared that the Cee Bees were going to give the hosts all they could handle.
Running an impressive pass and cut offense in the early going, Clay-Battelle shot 50 percent from the floor in the opening quarter and led 16-9 before two free throws by Bucon, one from Ashton Cross and a McCormick stickback goal trimmed the advantage to two points.
Regan Blaha's nice drive to the basket got Central back to within one point and McCormick fouled going up for a shot, hit both ends of the two-shot foul to give the Maroon Knights the lead for the first time at 25-24 with 3:17 remaining in the half. They wouldn't trail again.
Bucon rebounded her own missed shot and Maria Olson's two free throws pushed the advantage out to five points. After McCormick buried the first of her two trifectas, Central led 34-28, but a Breann Dean free throw and Mickayla Eddy basket made it a three-point game at halftime.
Two McCormick baskets and one from Bucon opened the second half ignited Central at a time when the Cee Bees suddenly had problems protecting the basketball.
Hayley Jones, Clay-Battelle's only double-digit scorer as she tossed in 14 points, cut the deficit to 40-33 but Central went on to score the next 18 points to end the quarter with an overwhelming 58-33 advantage.
McCormick and Bucon provided all of the offense until Lindsey Baker chipped in with two frees and a basket wrapped around a Madison Basinger goal from in the paint.
''I thought we got a great effort from everybody," Kurtz said. ''We had Colleen out chasing No. 23 (Hayley Jones) and that took her away from the boards a little bit but Madison Basinger did a nice job cleaning up the inside for us."
Kurtz also explained that while the Maroon Knights made a slight adjustment to try and free up McCormick, the offensive game plan wasn't much different than usual.
''Most of our offense is set up that way,'' he said. ''They are the two scorers in that group and we kind of go through them.
''We definitely feed off each other," McCormick said about the way she and Bucon perform on the court. ''We've been playing together a long time and it's really fun for both us."
Bucon, making an amazing comeback for a knee injury that at first threatened to end her senior season, feels she is making excellent progress.
''I'm still strengthening the knee and it is starting to feel a lot better" she said.
The four-year veteran admitted that she was still playing somewhat timidly during last week's loss to city rival Wheeling Park.
''It was my first really intense game coming back and I really wasn't sure of myself," she added.
Clay-Battle coach Dave Price was disappointed after watching his team struggle during the entire second half. He put the blame entirely on a lack of execution especially in the third quarter when the Cee Bees threw the ball away 10 times and finished the game with 21 turnovers.
''We played really well in the first half and I don't think Central changed very much what they were doing," Price said. ''They are a very good club, no doubt, but we weren't running the offense they we should have been during the third quarter."
Foul problems also hurt the visitors as three of their starters had to sit out for an extended time after picking up two fouls each in the first half.
''From a depth standpoint it really hurt us when he had to sit down a lot of our key players,'' Price said.
''But you try and learn something from every game you play," Price continued. ''This isn't the end of the world. We have to get ready for the sectionals and hope we don't have another game like we had (Tuesday)."

We got up early this morning. It was a beautiful dawn with the sun rising over Stocking Island in Technicolor. It was also a sad morning because we knew we would be watching our friends on Eyran sail away to the North for perhaps the last time in a long, long time. I was getting used to watching them leave the anchorage two hours before we could possibly get ready.
By afternoon Hideko and I had the boat ready to go and we hauled anchor and motored north out of the harbor with Hideko on the helm. You have to do a little zig zagging to stay clear of all of the shoal areas in the harbor but I think with our draft you could probably sail just about anywhere you wanted to at high tide. Still we stayed to the marked channel and the waypoints on the Explorer charts.
It took us about an hour of casual motoring in light and variable wind to get to Emerald Bay. The Marina entrance is a little dicey as the waves break on the rocky beach just to the starboard side as you enter the marina. I think they have plans to put in a proper break water, but until then you will have a tough (perhaps dangerous) time coming or going with a strong easterly driving the swell across the entrance. The channel is wide enough but you might want to wait outside if you see a mega yacht transiting.
The Marina is setup to be a very nice place but it is still a work in progress. The dock master's office and the restaurant are in temporary buildings and most of the slips do not yet have power (because the islands power plant can't supply the amount needed). There is also a fair amount of construction going on in the area, both projects in the Marina and Resort Condos going up all around.
All that taken into consideration, the Marina is a very nice place. They have free trash disposal and laundry with new high quality washers and dryers. The captain's lounge has comfortable furniture with satellite TV, lots of charts, cruising guides and magazines as well as a pool table. The restaurant has good food and a nice outdoor bar. The bathing facilities are top notch, with clean showers and restrooms sporting shampoo, conditioner, body wash, sunscreen, hand soap, mouth wash, Q-Tips, cotton balls, etceteras. Wifi is free and available throughout the Marina. They have a shuttle service that will take you to the grocery store or the nearby resort pool. The pool area has a great heated pool, a Jacuzzi, a nice restaurant serving breakfast lunch and dinner, great indoor and out door seating areas, complimentary towels, beach access to Emerald Bay along with Kayaks and other stuff.
The regular rate is $3 a foot for full services. However for the time being you can get a $0.75 per foot rate (40 foot minimum) for slips with no power. Water is metered but if you are a cruising boat set up to be independent of grid power for long periods of time this is a deal and a half.
We came into the E dock and tied up facing North East stern to. I wanted to face North East because this is where you typically get the strongest winds and I wanted to be stern to in order to allow Hideko and Roq to use the boarding ramp while I was away. They let us tie up between two spurs allowing us to avoid deploying fenders. The docks in most of the marina are floating with the posts on the inside of the spurs which is heaven compared to most places in the Bahamas. All of the floating docks have rubber rub rails and solid cleats (no tying up around a post!).
A dock hand was waiting for us when we arrived and they even set a nice Emerald Bay rug out for us. After putting the boat away, Hideko and I enjoyed a nice dinner out to commiserate the departure of our friends on Eyran.

We had a relaxing day today cleaning up around the boat and preparing to head to the Marina at Emerald Bay tomorrow. Our house back in California had been for sale since August. It entered escrow in late November and was now ready to close. It was going to take me about a week to clean the house out and hand it over to the new owners, so we decided that Hideko and Roq would be more comfortable in a marina for the time I was gone.
We wrapped up the day with a pizza party at the Saint Francis with Alex, Ellen and the kids. It was the last time we would get to spend time with them before they headed off to Nassau.

01/21/2007, Great Exuma
George Godfrey from Saint Francis stopped by today to give us a post sales tune up on the boat. It was a very helpful session. We bounced several ideas off of him and he answered a number of questions that had developed over our first three and a half months living aboard. We have lost several lights including the anchor light, a LED light in the transom that lights the steps for dinghy access at night, and the light at the nav station. The last two surprised me due to the fact that LEDs and Fluorescents should last for some time beyond the one year they survived on our boat. I luckily had a replacement for the transom light. I whimsically bought it at West Marine to get a look at LED lighting, thinking, "hmm, this just might work as a spare for my transom lights". I am not looking forward to messing around with the anchor light (72 feet up). The nav light is great because it is fluorescent and uses very little power. It is less than optimal because the fluorescent bulb emits a lot of RF interference and can really garble your SSB reception on some frequencies. I will probably replace it with an LED solution.
I haven't developed an optimal rig for the dinghy davit as of yet. George made several suggestions which we may try to reduce the lifting effort. Our boat has a problem with a sticky turning block in the arch that brings the lines down to the winch. This block is very hard to get to and can only be unbolted with a low profile ratchet wrench that I bought just for the task. I have been able to loosen the bolts enough to get it to spin, so other than the fact that I dumped the cover plate in No Name harbor, everything is working. George is getting us a new plate from the factory.
I bought vacuum gauges for the two Racor 500fgs we have on the boat but Duncan (the proprietor of Saint Francis Marine) indicated that the 500s are intentionally oversized and thus will probably fail to create the vacuum necessary to drive the gauges properly. Our diesel shut off valves are up in the forward locker on deck and underneath everything in the lockers. This is less than convenient when it comes to cleaning the sighting bowl or changing filters. I think I'm going to put some 3/8" shut offs in the engine room to make caring for the Racors easier. George indicated that the ABYC and CE outfits don't like the shut off near the Racor because if it were to vibrate closed it could deprive the engine of fuel in a bad situation. I will see if I can find shutoffs that can be locked open.
I noticed our starboard shrouds wagging a bit on a port tack close haul so I asked George about tensioning guidelines. I have a pretty good handle on monohull tensioning requirements but catamaran rigs are generally kept a bit more slack. This is due to the increased support provided by the additional angle afforded by the catamarans beam and the absence of a solid keel beneath the mast to cinch down on. Our boat, like most catamarans, has a double diamond system designed to keep the mast in column. After walking around the deck George advised me to tighten the lower starboard shroud and the baby stay a turn. Duncan indicated that after the crossing from South Africa and a bit of bashing to windward in the Bahamas the need for a little tensioning wasn't out of the ordinary.
After giving us a few tips on cleaning and polishing products, George headed back to the resort. He had a big night ahead with the final football playoffs attracting a large cruiser crowd. George will be sailing Calypso up to Miami for the Miami boat show in mid February.
Alex stopped by after George left to see if we were still on for fishing. I said, "of course!" I had yet to catch anything here and we were waiting for me to get in gear prior to cooking up a joint Eyran/Swingin on a Star lobster fest. I only need one good sized lobster to feed my family so the hurdle was low. No one else in the anchorage had gone out today because the swell was around 8 feet and breaking.
Hideko helped me get ready and then Alex and I took off at around 3:30PM. Many people get leery about diving as the sun sets, I on the other hand love it. Lobsters come out at night. There's also something romantic about motoring home in the fading light with supper in tow.
Back to reality, Alex and I hit the first cut to the north of the anchorage and were greeted by confused and breaking seas. Alex weaved his way out of the cut, quite a feat, and we then made our way outside. As we started to look for the reef we began to wonder how realistic it was to snorkel in the mess. One minute you'd be 20 feet above a hole, the next minute 30 feet. On minute you'd be five feet in front of the hole, the next minute you'd be five feet past it. We were also a little worried about the dinghy getting swamped, or worse the outboard getting submersed. The outside swell was breaking at the tops here and there. After a bit more looking around and consideration we decided to head back to the cut.
The cut we came out was breaking a bit too heavily at this point so we went one more up. Just at the inside of the cut we found some rocks and a little bit of reef. It didn't look like the Promised Land but Alex, always upbeat when setting out to hunt, said, "this might be lobster heaven, you never know". Skeptical, I splashed over the side of the dinghy.
The reef area was really shallow. It was kind of dangerous because there was fire coral here and there and with the surge you could be 3 feet above it one second and no feet above it the next. There were several holes and tunnels in the reef though so as long as the depth didn't prohibit them, lobsterization was likely. Before long Alex found his first. He took a shot but missed and then let me have a try (probably thinking, if I get one I'd let him go home!). I missed as well and the lobster then decided to stroll out of his hole. Cheap trick that. Alex nailed him while I scrambled to reload. It's not really yours unless you find it and shoot it, right? I think finding them is the harder part.
Disgusted at my miss I set off down reef to try to stir up something on my own. The reef quickly gave way to rock and then just the wall of the small Cay we were running along. Lots of nice Uni Sushi but no Lobster holes. I swam back to the north and realized how far I'd gone. It was a good workout with the surge and current. When I got back to where Alex was I noticed that he was fighting with a second lobster. Ok now I really had a mission. I swam north along the Cay but the reef was actually very small and ended quickly in that direction as well. A rocky bank extended underwater and out into the cut. I followed this along until I found an area in about 15 feet of water with some nice rocks and holes.
Just as I prepared to dive I sucked in a big load of salt water. My snorkel has been giving me problems for a while and so I surfaced to check it out. That's when I discovered the real problem. The swells were breaking about two feet from the ledge I was trying to explore. I figured that this probably makes the spot less traveled and more likely to bear fruit. I dove on a few spots and found nothing but Squirrel fish. A cruiser I had met the other day said that he liked Squirrel fish so I started subconsciously sizing them up. Lobster, lobster, lobster, no settling for Squirrel Fish!!
I checked another large whole and saw a crazy mix of really large tentacles and legs sticking out. What the heck is that? I dove again. Holly mackerel, was it big. I still couldn't tell if it was a Lobster, or some kind of crab I hadn't seen before, or perhaps both close together. I did know that it was big enough to eat however. I went down again with the spear cocked. As so often happens the entrance to the hole has a long flat run of rock in front of it and the critters are up in the back of the hole. I tried to get as much upward angle as I could and then fired. Two large legs popped out of the hole and dinner moved back up in the hole even farther. Arg.
Damsel fish and Wrasses began to feast on my two partial prizes immediately. What insolence. I grabbed one of the legs to look at it. I still couldn't tell what it was. I'd never seen a leg that big or that furry on a lobster. It had kind of a red fur all over the last leg segment.
Meanwhile Alex had nabbed a total of two lobsters and was motoring over my way. He was stressing a bit because he had lost sight of me due to the swell and surf. When he made it over to where I was I showed him the leg. He said some things in French that I didn't understand and then said, "where is it". We both returned to the hole.
After fifteen minutes as a team, post my initial 20 minutes of work we had nothing to show other than two more legs. This called for a strategy.
After a bit of discussion we decided to have Alex watch the front of the hole while I tried to find a way in from the back of the rock. After moving some small rocks I finally saw the beast. It was a big spiny lobster. I shot him but the barb didn't take. He moved to the front of the hole and Alex nabbed him. Victory at last. The sun had set at this point so we packed up and headed home. We had three lobster in the bucket and two in the freezer that Alex had caught over the prior few days.
Ellen cooked up the lobster and Hideko made an apple cake from my Mom's cook book. We dined on Eryan like kings. I was a nice end to a busy day.

01/20/2007, The Fish Fry
There's an area of Great Exuma with a number of small food and drink shacks known as Fish Fry Village. The Edelweiss crew has been doing a great job of seeing all of the sights in the area and invited us to join them at the Fish Fry for lunch. We set out across the harbor for the fist time on Little Star around noon, following Lowell and Jane in their Zodiac. It was just Hideko and I so we got up on a plane pretty easily but out little 8HP could not come close to keeping up with the 15HP Zodiac. Lowell waited for us on the other side of the harbor and we made out best guess as to which beach the shacks were on.
We ended up one cove north where the Peace and Plenty Beach Club and Coconut Cove Inns are located. They directed us back to the beach with the two rusting barges just to the south. We ran the dinghys up on the sand and took a walk though the shacks. As it turns out most don't get going until about 3PM and only a few are open during the week. The man who gave us directions recommended we try Aces. After discovering that they were the only place open I could see why he would make such a recommendation. We all order the grouper, fried. It was great. With our mercury and bad cholesterol levels all peaked we headed into town to catch up on some business over the Internet.
The Peace and Plenty hotel on the Northeast of town has a dock in the harbor just down from the Fish Fry so we tied up there and tried out their Internet. They charged $5 for a half of an hour and have a Wifi hub in the manager's office that works right around the lobby. If too many stations are on line you can't get on so instead of using Hideko's laptop I used the desktop PC they have available. The sale of our home back in California is imminent so I had to make a call as well. There are payphones out side of the Peach and Plenty Hotel and across the street at the Peace and Plenty boutique (although one was out of order). Two out of three is a good ratio here. Few of the phones in the Bahamas take cash so you either need a prepaid card or some way of making a collect call (which BTC seems to leave curiously dysfunctional in most places). After trying several approaches at a collect call I gave up and bought a BTC pre paid card. After catching up with my real estate broker it appears I will have to fly back to Los Angeles to wrap things up.

01/19/2007, Fowel Cay
There's a lot of confusion regarding where you can and can't fish in the Great Exuma area. Explorer charts from 2003 show a very large park covering all waters south of Volleyball Beach from the Great Exuma shore out to 50 meters. This would make the outside reefs around the southern cuts and the Fowl Cay area all off limits. These spots are where most of the cruisers go to spear fish. After about a week of trying to get the real skinny I have come to believe that you may not spear fish anywhere in the Elizabeth Harbor. A larger park was planned but various private interests on Stocking island seem to have gotten in the way of the park being finalized. Thus spear fishing outside of the harbor is acceptable. Nassau grouper are out of season until March everywhere.
John aboard Freebird, a Lagoon 42, stopped by last night to invite me to go hunting Lobster with Steve from Shanty and George from another boat off of Volleyball beach. Alex joined us and we headed out at about 8AM. We tried some shallower spots around the outlying rocks past Fowl Cay but no luck. Alex found a medium lobster at the second spot we tried but the rest of us were skunked as John put it. Alex had to head back so John and I tried some rocky spots North of Elizabeth island and again nothing but the skunk.
We headed back in through the cut between Elizibeth and Stocking islands. It was half tide and the cut was breaking so it was pretty interesting coming back in. John is an expert dinghy pilot so it was an easy shot back to the boats. I had originally though that Freebird was an older Privilege due to the general shape and Battyline window covers. It was the first older Lagoon (pre the vertical windows) I had seen up close. It is a nice boat and looks a bit stronger than the newer models.

01/18/2007, Volleyball Beach
Today we hit Volleyball Beach for the first time. This place is the center of all cruiser activity in the area. There are all sorts of cruiser organized activities taking place and truly something for everyone. A lot of folks come out everyday for Dominoes, Bridge, Volleyball (ranging from highly competitive to jungle ball), or just to hang out on the beach and relax. There's a little bar and grill called Chat & Chill right on the beach and while it is a bit expensive, it has a great beach vibe and is in a perfect location to keep all of the cruisers properly lubricated.
Hideko and I went to a Bridge Training session hosted by Stewart, the British skipper of Union Jack who we met at the Atlantis Marina. He is obviously a bridge expert and did a great job herding the chickens. We all learned a lot and then played a few hands. We teamed up with the crew of Shaza, Bob and Sharon, for our practice runs.
Bob was responsible for the tour of the Stromatolites the prior day that we missed. Stromatolites are bacteria and this flavor actually forms reefs of a special kind. They typically exist in extreme conditions (for instance very hot) in the modern world and it was quite a surprise when they were discovered a few years back in the Exumas. They are not known to be found anywhere else outside of extreme environments. Bob gave us a nice overview of the tour he provided but we were even more bummed out that we missed it afterwards. There are so many amazing things to see in the world. The more you learn about things the more amazing they are.
After a quick run to the boat to let Roq play on the beach we headed to the Saint Francis for the evening Texas Hold 'Em tournament. It was a lot of fun and there were at least 30 folks playing. Hideko and I both played and made it about half way.
As we got set to head home under the moonless night sky with millions of stars above, we realized that we had no flashlight. Major cruiser sin, that. It was no problem for me to find the way back to the boat but the other dinghy captains blasting around at 10 knots can't see you. It had been such a busy day, and so bright and sunny that we just didn't think about a light. We need to make a good waterproof light a standard part of the dinghy gear.

December is also a month to plan New Year's resolutions and start executing them from Jan 1st; some work some fail. I would want my 2011 to be a year of success, happiness and satisfaction so that when it ends I can proudly say, "Yes, I did it".
This, however, is on a personal level but when 'I' becomes 'We', as in Organizations, how do we work out our resolutions? I guess the perfect management of service/asset/resource/information/time in a smartest possible way would top the list.
When I say this, I feel happy that I'm associated with the Organization which is leading the world in providing smarter solutions with its varied products.
To be precise, as a Client Reference Specialist* for Tivoli, I feel proud to be associated with Tivoli Software-the service management brand of IBM software group without which IBM Smarter Planet strategy is incomplete, as Tivoli provides much of the software to facilitate the management of all the smart processes, networks and grids that will bring the smart strategy to completion. Tivoli Case Studies for Smarter Planet give an interesting insight on how IBM is successfully providing smarter solutions to various sectors of economy.
Well, I'm yet to put on my thinking hat and zero in on some of the smartest possible resolutions for the New Year. If you've already done yours, how smart are your New Year's Resolutions? Let's Think and comment below :-)

Let Sheriffs Use Monitoring System
January 8, 2013
By March, a computerized system intended to identify West Virginians who buy large quantities of narcotic drugs and health care providers who prescribe pain medications frequently will be up and......
Lets see- We have at least 16 + deputies. Multiply by 55 counties+ 600-700 state troopers. All will have access to start. Pretty soon it will be available on the net. You take it from there. RIGHT TO PRIVACY- BS!!!!!!

I have talked to others and understand why they are doing this. Many pill takers are selling their med rather than taking, this will allow LE to check on patients and make sure they have as may as are suppose to be left at any time in the month. Maybe it will cut down in sales of illegal narcotics to the addicts. I thought it was targetting those who need their meds. Not much faith in thes brainstorms, knowing there is always funding that rob the tax payer, but guess its legal, so get use to it.

Good idea WVUthinking. Maybe the state should put annonymous on the payroll-seems they can bring out the truth when necessary. They need to hack into some other stuff to discover the real motives.
I got a call from collections from wheeling hospital for a procedure. My name, address, ss #, but the person was 67, not 45. Are people really stealing colonoscopies these days. I cant prove it wasnt me. Which agency handles such thefts. Its on my credit report that I didnt pay them.

Thats my thought too impact-is nothing confidential? If they have a right to your meds records, next will be your diagnosis.
Do they really have a right to this information? Its one thing that they can talk at parties about who they arrested, or on their facebook pages, now they can share the community medical records.

This would be a mistake. The law enforcement agencies that have it already should not, just because of confidentiality concerns.

The real problem is that useless Board of Pharmacy.

WVUthinking-they seem to find a way around any privilege.
This is designed to make money for LE, more grants, more magistrates, more abuse of govt spending.
That DARE program worked really well didnt it. Thats why girl goes partying, gets ruffied and raped. Just Say No. How much did this cost? There is some useless committee behind this nonsense. Put resource officers in schools as social workers to teach about bullying and morals, guess Steubenville didnt have program huh
Then the cops are too busy to take calls on crimes. Oh ya, more cars are needed.

So currently 15 state police and drug enforcement have access, now sheriff wants access too.
I was glad to see physician having access to database to prevent drug seekers, they are responsible in checking to assure patients are not getting scrips elsewhere. There is a max. that they can prescribe per month as well-after assuring.
Now law enforcement wants to decide whether their condition is legitimate to warrant the medication the Dr. prescribes and LE can decide if they are addicts. It would be laughable if it were not so serious.
The insurance companies have had the power to allow or withhold treatments for too long. For many, healthcare has been reduced to meds-which I am not in favor of, but now, LE wants to stick their nose in this.
Insurances should be made to pay for accupuncure, massage, rehab for conditions such as ptsd and other disorders. Instead, patients are put on meds, now the govt wants to name them addicts, and what, monitor their every move.

It's the term "yellow bridgade" that is not what I would call offensive, just pathetic!!! Why use it?? It's not as if any other rider has a brigade of any particular colour so why pick on Valentino's fans?

BLACK FRIDAY ends tonight! Save $25 off $200* Use code: TLBF15
Fijate bien gente! Pick up tickets for upcoming Juanes tour dates to see this Colombian national treasure live in concert. Raised in the political hotbed of Medellin, Juanes brought the city's seething undercurrent to life in heavy-metal 3D with his band Ekhymosis before steamrolling to the top of the Latin charts as a solo artist and earning several Latin Grammy Awards. Don't miss Juanes in concert at a venue near you!
Juanes Concert Tickets
Juanes Tickets. Global Latino Meltdown - Be There!
Juanes tickets are spicy hot! Don't miss this guy's brilliant authenticity when he shines at a venue near you. The story of how Juanes came to be so much of a stand-out artist goes back to the origins of fusion and crossover. When cultural and ethnic crossover music possessed the West, we saw a slew of artists flooding out of the latin countires, and rightly so; Latinos are wildly risque, accomplished, and bold in the way they express themselves through dance and song. The likes of Ricky Martin, and Shakira brought color and rhythm that was simply lacking in the washed-out college angst of lesser mortals to the north, and from this rich melee came Juanes - the king of them all. Juanes tickets will give you the uncompromising vision, the reeling vistas of what Latino philosophy is all about. Buy Juanes concert tickets and cherish the abandon, bloody, muddy, and thickly tropical, that spews from the more adventurous latitudes like a well-populated mountain stream. Juanes' music teems with life, and you won't find any whining about non-tragedies there. Hear the language and the culture push their way through the yielding peforations of your blocked up western eardrums, and thank the Colombian gods for your Juanes tickets!

There was appreciation for the adoption of new policies, establishment of new institutions, enactment of new laws and regulations, conclusion of new international agreements, and investments in human and institutional capacities. However, there was also the expression of concern at the low pace of implementation and the slow pace of the transition towards sustainable development in Pakistan. The inability to manage the environment imposes huge and potentially catastrophic costs on the national economy and society.
While there was no consensus on the definition of the green economy, most participants viewed it as an instrument for facilitating the transition towards sustainable development within Pakistan and globally, including the urgent challenge of eradicating poverty, promoting social equity, ensuring economic growth, and protecting land, water, forests, rangelands, oceans and marine resources.
The two-day consultations led to a fruitful exchange of views as well as a number of recommendations respectively for national decision makers and the international community, which are presented below.
* Recommendations for actions at national level:
a. Green Economy: Green economy should integrate and bind the three pillars of sustainable development, namely social equity, economic prosperity, and environmental conservation.
b. National Priorities and Goals: Participants highlighted the urgent challenges of sustainable development in Pakistan:
i. Economic Prosperity: The national growth strategy aims at stimulating a strong and sustainable growth process in Pakistan.
ii. Decent Livelihoods: The green economy should enable the creation of green and decent livelihoods and the eradication of poverty.
iii. Gender: The green economy should ensure the protection of women?s rights, and the incorporation of women?s perspectives, concerns, and interests in policy formulation and implementation.
iv. Population:Reduction of the rate of population growth is an urgent priority in Pakistan.
c. Stakeholder Participation: The adoption and implementation of green economy policies should be undertaken through an effective framework of participation by all stakeholders, including Government, Civil Society, Business, Mass Media, Academia, and Parliaments. Within Government, it should involve all relevant federal and provincial ministries and agencies, especially Planning, Finance, Agriculture, Water and Power, Foreign Affairs, Climate Change, Health, Education, Social Welfare, and Industries and Commerce.
d. Business: A number of private sector initiatives have emerged to address and incorporate sustainability challenges. In order to provide further momentum to such initiatives, it was essential that the industrial chambers and groups should agree upon a concreteand coherent collective agenda for the future. It was equally important that governmental regulation be streamlined, strengthened, and made transparent. Participants called upon private sector representatives to initiate the preparation of a plan of action on the green economy in Pakistan. This could be based on a private sector white paper on green economy prepared with the participation from all chambers and industrial groups,which could be used to evolve recommendations for voluntary private sector actions as well aslegislative and other actions by the government and legislatures.
e. Sustainable Development Policies: The national and provincial governmentswere asked to support sustainable development and the green economy through a strategic approach, including:
i. NSDS: The participants appreciated the initiative of developing a National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) and recommended that its implementation should seek to revive and update the recommendations of the 1992 National Conservation Strategy (NCS) through the effective participation of all stakeholders, especially youth, women, small and landless farmers, and indigenous people.
ii. Devolution: The government should establish an effective system for the pursuit of sustainable development and the green economy, consistent with the 18th amendment, including the respective and complementary roles of national, provincial, and local governments.
iii. National Fund: It was recommendedthat a National Fund on Climate Change and Green Development be established.
iv. Investment: The State Bank of Pakistan was requested to evolve rules and regulations for incentivizing green investment and loans through commercial banks;
f. Research and Development: The green economy involves a strong investment in research and education in scientific analysis and relevant technologies.
i. R&D Roadmap:Participants called upon the government to develop an R&D roadmap for the green economy, including the commitment of adequate financial resources for research and development. We call upon the government and international agencies to invest in the capacities of existing national research institutions and independent research centres.
ii. Work Programmes:It was recommended that universities, national research and training institutions (such as NIPA/NDU, GCISC,PARC, PCSIR, PMD, and NIO), and independent think tanks should review their work programmes and curriculums to integrate the three dimensions of the green economy.
iii. Research Network:Participants welcomed the decision of WAPDA to establish a research centre on glaciology, and called upon all relevant actors to establish dedicated research centres and programmes on other relevant areas of the green economy, including transport, energy, urban development, monsoon analysis, and food security.
iv. Education:Participants called upon increased investment in education, includinggraduate, post-graduate, and diploma courses on sustainable development and the green economy.
g. Energy: Participants urged urgent action to ensure universal access to modern, sustainable, and affordable energy services by all segments of the society, especially the poor and marginalized groups.
i. Alternative Energy:There was appreciation for the new national plan for the development of renewable energy. Widespread use of renewable energy could make a major contribution to poverty eradication. Pakistan has immense resources of renewable energy, including hydel, micro-hydro, solar, wind, and waste-to-energy. In order to benefit from this potential, it was necessary to establish a level playing field based on a clear and transparent policy framework, including for example the feed-in-tariff approach, to incentivize the provide sector to contribute to the national effort to provide safe, affordable, and adequate energy services in all parts of the country. Such a system should include the announcement of procurement prices for all relevant categories of renewable energy, the designation of purchasing authorities, and appropriate oversight mechanisms. There was appreciation and support for the plans to initiate a return to hydel power sources, as long as it is undertaken with due regard to social and environmental impacts and safety considerations. There was a call for the consideration of elevating this sector to a ministerial level in the government.
ii. Clean Conventional Energy:Pakistan should seek cleaner technology for conventional energy sources, including clean coal, carbon capture and storage, and carbon offset, and establish national clean energy research center and supporting centres in major universities.
iii. Energy Efficiency:There was a need to adopt policies, financing instruments, and information dissemination to promote energy efficiency in power generation and distribution, transport, buildings, and industry.
h. Food Security and Sovereignty: Elimination of hunger and the ensuring of food security are the highest priorities of the country. Participants appreciated the ?end hunger campaign?.
i. Sustainable Agriculture:In order to ensure food security in the short as well as the long term, there is an urgent need to shift towards sustainable agricultural practices, including integrated water management, provision of support to and enabling access to natural resources by small and landless farmers and women farmers, and enhanced investment in the protection of the natural resource base, including land, water, and biodiversity.
ii. Integrated water management: The government needs to promote integrated and sustainable water management to ensure efficient and equitable use of water, proper balance between agricultural and non-agricultural uses, waste management and sanitation, and capacity to address emerging challenges, including challenges pertaining to climate change.
iii. Research and Extension:It was essential to strengthen agricultural research and extension mechanisms and ensure that they address all three dimensions of sustainable development.
iv. Quality Control: The concept of food security should include the concerns of health and food quality, including consumer protection.
i. Rural Economy: The bulk of the poor people live in rural areas. It was necessary to ensure promote sustainable rural development, including investment in sustainable agriculture, support for small and landless farmers, especially women farmers, and integrated rural development programmes.
j. Urbanization: Pakistan is the most urbanized country in South Asia. The challenge of sustainable management and development of these cities and urban configurations has risen to the highest level of urgency.
i. Sustainable Urban Development: The government should undertake reforms and policies sustainable urban development, including sustainable urban design, land use management, vertical development to limit urban sprawl, creation of second tier cities, definition of city limits, sustainable transport systems based on public transport instead of proliferation of private transport, sustainable waste management, energy efficient building design, and good governance.
ii. Green Programs, Funds, and Institutions:National and provincial governments should allocate adequate funds to support Metropolitan and City governments in undertaking sustainable urban development actions, including allocation from green funds, micro-credit programmes, support for sustainable transport, buildings, and waste management, and strengthening of relevant institutions at all levels.
k. Good Governance: There was concernover the poor record of implementation of past decisions and policies, and the continuing weakness of governance mechanisms.
i. Political Will: The challenge of sustainable development required the patronage and support from the highest levels of the political leadership of the country.
ii. Transparency: It is fundamentally important that the pursuit of sustainable development and the green economy is based on the principles of transparency.
iii. Parliaments: Green Parliamentarians should take the initiative to undertake debate and discussion on matters relevant to sustainable development and the green economyat national and provincial assemblies, with a view to establishing suitable mechanisms for oversight of implementation and governmental functioning. The Minister for Climate Change may consider tabling a motion in the parliament in this regard.
iv. Participatory Mechanisms: The successful pursuit of sustainable development and the green economy requires the participation of all stakeholders in theformulation and implementation of relevant policies.

The Master Cleanse is Nothing More than a Dangerous Fad
America's obsession with rapid weight loss regimens has produced yet another unnatural diet. The glamorously titled "master cleanse" is a trending diet among celebrities and those who want to succeed in weight loss without really trying. The master cleanse is a 10-day fast wherein the only thing you ingest is a concoction made of warm water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup, and it's extremely unhealthy. Sounds pretty awful, but Beyonce and Gwyneth did it, so why can't you?
The cleanse begins each day with a "salt water flush," which can accurately be described as slamming a glass of salt water while trying not to puke. The lemon juice cocktail is designed to rid the body of harmful toxins so you can start fresh after the cleanse. While a liquid diet is almost guaranteed to help you lose weight fast, it's the wrong kind of weight. The body will shed muscle mass and water weight, but fat remains.
Starvation also does funny things to the body. Severely reducing your caloric intake can make you impatient, dizzy, moody, and less focused. It can lead to insomnia, skin breakouts, bizarre behavior, and in some cases, shrink your heart volume. After a period of starvation, it takes a long time for your brain and your body to get along again. People coming down from a fast have a hard time satisfying their appetite, and binge eat because of it. One study found that men who had fasted gained back an additional 10% of their body weight after a fast.

"Microsoft account" is the new name for what used to be called a "Windows Live ID." Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you use to sign in to services like Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone, or Xbox LIVE. If you use an email address and password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft account—but you can also sign up for a new one at any time.
Over time, all Microsoft services will be switching from the old name to the new one. You might continue to see mentions of "Windows Live ID" instead of "Microsoft account" for a while—for example, on xbox.com or windowsphone.com—but the names mean the same thing, and the services will be updated soon.

Free Time Watch
Like the planets tracing their various orbits around the Sun, the rings on this watch each move with different rotational speeds to indicate the time. The planets trace rings around the Sun, each one completing a full orbit in a different amount of time in relation to its distance from the Sun. Our most important measurement of time, the year, is based on this full rotation around the Sun. In fact, all our major units of time (day, month, year) are based on different rotation periods. The three concentric circles rotate clockwise with each gap in the circle communicating the precise time. The hour, minute and seconds are defined by the outer, middle and inner rings respectively. The diameter is 33 mm.

Posted 30 December 2012 - 12:34 PM
Good one my friend. Nice fine details. You can see quite interesting things with your small Lunt.
May I ask you a favor. On first, when I started to post my sun sketches, I was naming them as an example, October 15th sun but someone else posted with the same name so I changed the name of ALL my previous sketches by adding sketch at the end as October 15th sun sketch. But now you arrive with the same formula so that may be confusing no ? Now its too late for me to change the name of my previous sketches, I can't no more edit them. Maybe you can add Michel December 30th sun sketch ? Or December 30th sun sketch from France ? Just a little thing to make it different name as me.
Posted 30 December 2012 - 12:53 PM
Ok André, sorry for the confusion, I adapt the subject name (not the sketch ).

Excellent solar sketches.

Hi Jef
I read in Astronomie Magazine that you sometimes work with green pastel on white paper (and invert it after scanning). How this one was sketched (the paper looks light pink on my screen)?
Thanks for your comments
Yes indeed sometime I sketch with watercolour, in this case to have a black sky I have to invert and then, artificially I draw in green. For more clarification look at my French page :
So, to make this last sketch, I just draw with HB pencil and common drawing tools. After scanning I adapt the sketch playing with the R of the RGB adjustment. I use Paint.net. I feel that keeping a non black background is better to keep the original drawing contrast.
To compare here is my original :

Home > Services > Cardiology Services > PulsePoint Mobile App
PulsePoint is the technology advancement that will further enhance cardiac survivability by engaging every day citizens willing and able to perform CPR, and when available, the use of a Public Access Defibrillators (AED).
With the use of this Global Positioning System (GPS) powered iPhone and Android App, community members can be notified when life-saving assistance to victims of Sudden Cardiac Arrest is needed. This notification only occurs when the incident is in a public place and will also indicate where the nearest Public Access Defibrillator (AED) is located.
Early intervention during sudden cardiac arrests will make that lifesaving difference in our goal to improve survivability. It also can save time by increasing awareness of automatic electronic defibrillator (AED) locations through real-time mapping of nearby devices.
To install the PulsePoint app search PulsePoint in the appropriate online store. Read more below.
The PulsePoint Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose goal is to make it much easier for citizens who are trained in CPR to use their life saving skills to do just that… save lives! Through the use of modern, location-aware mobile devices PulsePoint is building applications that work with local Fire Departments, EMS agencies, and Police Departments to improve communications with citizens and empower them to help reduce the estimated 1,000,000 worldwide annual deaths from sudden cardiac arrest.
The application has three primary components – the mobile app, a middle tier web service, and a dispatch system interface. The mobile app is provided and maintained by PulsePoint Foundation. The app is currently available for the iPhone, iOS device platform and Android devices. The software (on each platform) supports all agencies using the app. A configuration screen within the app allows users to select their desired agency or agencies.
The app is connected to a cloud-based web service that manages communications between the personal mobile devices and the Brown County and Minnehaha County 911 emergency communication centers, The service provides encrypted communication and secure identification (HTTPS with SSL/TLS protocol) to connected agencies within a highly reliable environment. This service is also provided by the PulsePoint Foundation.
Minnehaha 911 center communicates with the middle tier service through an application programming interface (API). An API is simply a set of rules and specifications that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. The PulsePoint API serves as an interface between Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD) systems and PulsePoint services.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information. On a 'CPR needed' notification, the app reports only an address (in a public place) and a business name, if available. Individually identifiable health information, such as name, birth date, or Social Security Number are not reported or known to the PulsePoint application.
The PulsePoint app is a Location-Based Service (LBS) with the ability to make use of the geographical position of your mobile device. The LBS capabilities of the app allow you to see your current location relative to the incidents occurring around you. This is an optional feature that is not enabled by default – you must specially opt-in to utilize this functionality. In addition, if you opt-in to the CPR/AED notification, the PulsePoint server will store your current location for immediate reference during an emergency where you may be nearby. In this case, only the current location of your device is stored (no movement history is maintained) and your identity is never known to the PulsePoint application.
Only about one quarter of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims receive bystander CPR, and public access Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are used less than 3% of the time when needed and available. The current situation is far too few bystander rescuers – not too many. The goal of the app is to engage additional bystanders in these lifesaving acts. If this was to truly materialize in the future it would be a major success and the footprint of the notification could be reduced.
The app aims to notify those essentially within walking distance of the event location. However, this distance has been configured to a radius of one half mile by the SFFR. Higher population densities usually warrant a smaller notification radius. Likewise, a rural area with longer local government response times may choose to notify over a broader area.
Through the PulsePoint Foundation, there is no charge for the app or any supporting materials. There is, however, a cost to interface with the 911 provider in each community. The Avera Heart Hospital and Avera St. Luke's Hospital determined that this was the next logical step in providing citizen based assistance in a cardiac event, and will underwrite the cost of the interface.
Yes. With dispatchers making rapid over-the-telephone assessments of patients based on the observations of untrained callers, an incorrect determination can be made. For example, such a situation could occur with someone who has just had a grand mal seizure, passed out from too much alcohol, or has a very high blood sugar. However, if you tried to do CPR on such an individual he or she would probably moan and possibly even try to push you away. Also, an AED would not deliver a shock to a person in any condition where an effective heartbeat was present.
