These projects now span the UAE, Australia and soon, the Seychelles.
It began with the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR). Along with the Dubai Government, Emirates developed this reserve that is now the largest environmental park in our country. It was the first UAE conservation area officially protected with a constitution and environmental law dedicated to ensuring its operation as a National Park.
The DDCR, which also houses the conservation-oriented Al Maha Resort & Spa, is almost 5% of Dubai's total land mass (in the United Kingdom, this would be the equivalent of Northern Ireland being entirely national park). Apart from protecting several endangered species, such as the Arabian and Scimitar-horned Oryx, the DDCR is a major contributor to both local scientific research and conservation efforts.
100% of all visitor revenue from DCCR is spent on conversation and wildlife care, with Emirates also sponsoring a dedicated conservation team of eight.
The Al Maha Resort & Spa has also been a pioneering environmental development in the Middle East. The property, which has a small footprint in the overall reserve, has had over 6,000 indigenous trees planted around the resort and conservation area.
After five years of planning, Emirates is developing the 4.000 acre Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa – one of Australia's first luxury conservation resorts.
Nestled in the Wolgan Valley beneath sandstone escarpments, this environmentally sensitive resort is in keeping with the unique wilderness of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area in New South Wales. Wolgan Valley is about a two and a half hour drive from Sydney and the resort is due to open in the second half of 2009. Set next to the Wollemi National Park and Gardens of Stone National Park, guests will enjoy a true wilderness experience during their stay. Emirates regards this project as an important way to assist in the conservation of Australia's unique biodiversity.
The properties now owned by Emirates Hotels & Resorts were previously used for cattle grazing. These have now been de-stocked and will be used for the conservation of the region's endangered species and the reintroduction of native flora and fauna. Many species are missing from the greater Blue Mountains area. As most of these species are small, less than 7kg, they fall victim to introduced predators. Emirates' research into predator control and protecting the habitats of these species will help conserve them for future generations. Recent sightings have included Red-headed Flying Foxes feeding on flowering eucalyptus trees and a large number of Bronze-winged and Wonga Pigeons. There have also been sightings of Honeyeater and Spotted-tailed Quolls in the tree lines along Carne Creek at night. This species (pictured) is at risk, not only from the fox and feral cat but also from baiting. This year has seen the Red-rumped Parrot increase in numbers along with the Eastern Rosella and other parrots. With more medium sized parrots available, the Peregrine Falcon will have more food for its young.
Already Emirates has planted thousands of native trees and shrubs and is removing feral animals and introduced plant species.
Emirates is also developing the Cap Ternay Resort & Spa in the Seychelles which will feature a multitude of environmental initiatives including a maritime sanctuary. Along with our Al Maha and Wolgan projects, Cap Ternay will feature solar supplemented energy and an energy-saving design.
Environmentally-sensitive materials and equipment will be used as well as environmentally safe and biodegradable products. Reforestation works will be conducted, as well as the planning for habitat and endangered species protection.
Cap Ternay Resort & Spa will offer guests a taste of one of the worlds' most exotic and beautiful destinations. Ecologically one of the purest locations in the world, the Seychelles is the unspoiled jewel in the India Ocean crown.
Located within a protected area of the main island, Mahé, this resort is planned to provide a complete experience of the Seychelles, combining the traditional beach holiday with a taste of the exotic forests, towering granite mountains and streams, and the unique wildlife and birdlife of this Indian Ocean sanctuary.
The resort forms an integral part of a marine reserve and island wildlife sanctuary. The resort not only contributes to, but creates an intensively managed wildlife reserve aimed at conserving not only valuable marine life but the many unique and threatened land species found on these islands. Jointly managed with Seychelles' Department of Environment, the Cap Matoopa Reserve and Marine Sanctuary will provide guests with access to a wide range of landscapes and tropical forests and some of the islands' most beautiful locations right on their doorstep. Guests will actively be able to participate in, and contribute to this important work.

EMS Education Staff Receive Awards from AHA
Raffaella Coler and Michael Zacchera of the Department of EMS Education were honored recently by the American Heart Association (AHA) with American Heartsaver Awards.
Training consisted of three phases, 1. Training of faculty and staff team members in Heartsaver AED. 2. Training 17 Health Education teachers as Heartsaver Instructors and one as an Instructor Trainer. 3. Training of freshmen students during Health Education classes at the three high schools. By the end of the 2003 - 2004 school year over 2,000 students will have been trained in CPR and AED using the Heartsaver in the Schools curriculum.
The awards were given in a ceremony that honored citizens who have performed CPR successfully or who implement plans to decrease morbidity and mortality form cardiac arrest.
The program has been brought about through the combined efforts of Lynn Piacentini a Nurse, and Michael Zacchera and Michael Morran, both Paramedics. The group studied the curricula from various nursing schools and compared them with the current National Standard Curriculum for Paramedics and established a curriculum to teach from for the Nurse to Medic Program.

Voters First Ohio is not letting Republicans get away with any dishonesty on Issue 2. In a complaint filed to the Ohio Elections Commission yesterday, the pro-redistricting reform group claimed a recent mailer from Republicans contained three incorrect statements.
"In an effort to affect the outcome of the election and defeat State Issue 2, Republicans have knowingly, or with reckless disregard of the truth, made false statements in printed campaign material disseminated to registered voters," the complaint said.
If approved by voters in November, Issue 2 will place the responsibility of redistricting in the hands of an independent citizens commission. Currently, politicians handle the process, which they use to redraw district boundaries in politically advantageous ways in a process known as "gerrymandering." Ohio's First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn by the Republican-controlled process to include Warren County, which contains more rural voters that tend to vote Republican, and less of Cincinnati, which contains more urban voters that tend to vote Democrat.
The Voters First complaint outlines three allegedly false statements made by the Republican mailer. The first claim is "Some of the members will be chosen in secret." As the complaint points out, this is false. The redistricting amendment on the November ballot will require nine of twelve members to be chosen in public, and then those nine members will pick the three final members. All of this has to be done in the public eye, according to the amendment: "All meetings of the Commission shall be open to the public."
The second disputed claim is that the amendment will provide a "blank check to spend our money" for the commission. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled against that claim on Sept. 12 when it ruled against Secretary of State Jon Husted's proposed ballot language for Issue 2: "The actual text of the proposed amendment does not state that the redistricting amendment would have — as the ballot board's language indicates — a blank check for all funds as determined by the commission."
The mailer also claims that, in the redistricting amendment, "There's no process for removing these bureaucrats, even if they commit a felony." But the amendment says commissioners must be electors, and when an elector is convicted of a felony, that status is lost. The complaint says commissioners can also be removed "by a judge under a petition process that applies to public officials generally for exercising power not authorized by law, refusing or neglecting to perform a duty imposed by law, gross neglect of duty, gross immorality, drunkenness, misfeasance, nonfeasance, or malfeasance."
The Ohio Elections Commission will take up the complaint Thursday morning. The full complaint can be read here.
Matthew Henderson, spokesperson for the Ohio Republican Party, called the complaint a "distraction": "It's a cheap shot. It's up to the Ohio Elections Commission, and they'll likely throw it out. It's essentially a distraction from the real issues. The bottom line is that Issue 2 is going to create a panel of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, and they'll have influence over our elections."
He added, "Ohio voters will be able to decide for themselves this fall whether they want to pay for these commissioners or not."
When pressed about whether or not the Ohio Republican Party is sticking to the claims found in the mailer, he said that's up to the Ohio Elections Commission to decide.
It is true the independent citizens commission created by Voters First is unelected, but that's the entire point. The current problem with the system, as argued by Voters First, is elected officials are too vested in reelection to place the district boundary needs of the public above electoral needs. That's why districts like Ohio's First Congressional District are redrawn in a way that includes Cincinnati and Warren County — two regions that are vastly different.
CityBeat previously covered the redistricting issue when Husted's ballot language lost in court and when We Are Ohio threw its support behind Voters First.
While current Republicans oppose redistricting reform in Ohio, some Republicans of the past advocated for it. Ronald Reagan was one such advocate:

A new study found redistricting makes government even more partisan. The Fair Vote study says redistricting divides government into clear partisan boundaries by eliminating competitive districts. In Ohio, redistricting is handled by elected officials, and they typically use the process for political advantage by redrawing district boundaries to ensure the right demographics for re-election. Issue 2 attempts to combat this problem. If voters approve Issue 2, redistricting will be taken out of the hands of elected officials and placed into the hands of an independent citizens commission. The Republican-controlled process redrew the First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, by adding Warren County to the district. Since Warren County typically votes Republican, this gives an advantage to Republicans in the First Congressional District. CityBeat previously covered the redistricting reform effort here.
Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh Mandel will face off in another debate for Ohio's seat in the U.S. Senate today. The two candidates met Monday in a feisty exchange in which the men argued over their records and policies. Brown and Mandel will face off at 8 p.m. The debate will be streamed live on 10TV.com and Dispatch.com. Currently, the race is heavily in Brown's favor; he is up 5.2 points in aggregate polling.
Cincinnati is moving forward with its bike sharing program. A new study found the program will attract 105,000 trips in its first year, and it will eventually expand to 305,000 trips a year. With the data in hand, Michael Moore, director of the Department of Transportation and Engineering, justified the program to The Business Courier: "We want Cincinnatians to be able to incorporate cycling into their daily routine, and a bike share program will help with that. Bike share helps introduce citizens to active transportation, it reduces the number of short auto trips in the urban core, and it promotes sustainable transportation options."
Cincinnati's school-based health centers are showing promise. Two more are scheduled to open next year.
Echoing earlier comments by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, Ohio Senate Republicans are now talking about using the lame duck session to take up a bill that would set standard early voting hours and tighten voting requirements. Republicans are promising broad consensus, but Democrats worry the move could be another Republican ploy at voter suppression. Republicans defend the law by saying it would combat voter fraud, but in-person voter fraud isn't a real issue. A recent study by the Government Accountability Office found zero examples of in-person voter fraud in the last 10 years. Another investigation by News21 had similar results. Republicans have also justified making voting tougher and shorter by citing racial politics and costs.
A Hamilton County judge's directive is causing trouble. Judge Tracie Hunter sent out a directive to hire a second court administrator because she believes the current county administrator is only working for the other juvenile judge. The county government is trying to figure out if Hunter has the authority to hire a new administrator.
This year's school report card data held up a long-term
trend: Public schools did better than charter schools. In Ohio, the
average charter school meets slightly more than 30 percent of the
state's indicators, while the average traditional public school meets 78
percent of the state's indicators, according to findings from the
education policy fellow at left-leaning Innovation Ohio. The data for
all Ohio schools can be found here.

Issue 2 is getting outraised quite badly. Protect Your Vote Ohio, the group opposing Issue 2, has raised $6.9 million, while Voters First Ohio, the group supporting Issue 2, has raised $3.6 million since July. If Issue 2 is approved by voters, it will put an independent citizens commission in charge of the redistricting process. Currently, the process is handled by elected officials, who have used the process in politically advantageous ways. Republicans redrew the First Congressional District, Cincinnati's district, to include Warren County. The move put more emphasis on rural and suburban voters, which tend to side with Republicans, and less on urbanites, which tend to side with Democrats.
Not only will Ohio play a pivotal role in the presidential election, but RealClearPolitics, a website that aggregates polling, says Hamilton County is among two Ohio counties that will play the biggest role. In light of that, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will be in town this week. Obama will visit Oct. 31, and Romney will be here Nov. 2. Currently, Obama leads in Ohio by 2.1 points, while Romney leads nationally by 0.9 points.

The Ohio Board of Regents and Ohio Department of Education (ODE) may merge soon, says Board of Regent Chancellor Jim Petro. The Board of Regents is already moving to ODE's building later this year. Petro said the building move will allow the Board of Regents, which focuses on higher education, to cooperate more with ODE, which focuses on elementary, middle and high school.

The nationwide meningitis outbreak is forcing some Ohio officials to take a look at the state's compounding pharmacies. Compounding is when pharmacists make custom preparations for patients under special circumstances. The Ohio State Board of Pharmacy has already taken action against the New England Compounding Center, whose compound was connected with starting the meningitis outbreak.
The FBI will join an investigation into fraudulent

The first presidential debate took place last night. Most of the
"liberal media" says Mitt Romney beat President Barack Obama, but the
impact of the relatively dull debate is probably being overstated as the
media tries to sensationalize some sort of comeback narrative for Romney. Although
the debates are important for capturing a candidate's policies and
speaking ability, they don't matter much in political terms.
Policy-wise, it seems Romney ran to the center last night. If last night's debate wasn't enough debate for you, here are the three most awkward presidential debate moments in history.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus held
a conference call with Ohio reporters yesterday in response to Vice
President Joe Biden's comments that the middle class has been "buried"
in the past four years. Priebus claimed the
Republican ground game in Ohio will "crush" Democrats. But that's going
to require a lot of work. As it stands, Obama and Democratic Sen.
Sherrod Brown are beating their respective Republican opponents pretty
badly in aggregate polling.
PolitiFact says Republican claims that Issue 2 will create a redistricting commission that will "have a blank check to spend our money" are false. While there is no cap on spending designated in Issue 2, that does not mean the redistricting commission will get infinite funding. If Issue 2 is approved by voters, redistricting will be handled by an independent citizens commission. If Issue 2 is rejected by voters, redistricting will continue being handled by politicians that commonly use the system in politically advantageous ways. A Republican majority redistricted the First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, to also include Warren County. The new boundaries give Republicans an advantage by putting more emphasis on rural voters, which typically vote Republican, instead of urban voters, which typically vote Democrat. CityBeat previously covered the redistricting process and Issue 2 here.
An analysis by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management
found Issue 2 would cost the state about $11-$15.2 million over eight
years. That's about $1.4-$1.9 million a year, or about 0.005-0.007
percent of Ohio's budget for the 2013 fiscal year.
To put the cost of Issue 2 in further context, state tax revenues were $39 million above estimates in September.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced the Ohio
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) and the
Cincinnati-based Ohio Justice and Policy Center (OJPC) have settled out
of court in a case involving health care in prisons. OJPC brought the
case forward with a lawsuit in 2003, arguing that inmates were not
receiving adequate health care as required by the Ohio Constitution.
Courts agreed in 2005, and they created an oversight committee to ensure
medical standards rose. Today, health care in prisons is much better. With the
settlement, OJPC and ODRC will continue watching over medical policies
and procedures for the next two years, but courts no longer have an
oversight mandate.
City Council unanimously approved six projects for historic tax credits yesterday.
Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank reclaimed its top spot for local bank deposits this year, although data released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) shows it might never have lost the top spot to U.S. Bank.U.S. service firms, which employ 90 percent of Americans, grew at their fastest rate in six months. The boost was brought about due to rising consumer demand.

The nation's unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent in September — the lowest jobless rate in nearly four years. The country added 114,000 jobs during the month, and labor participation actually rose with 418,000 people joining the labor force. Jobs numbers for July and August were also revised upward, indicating that the summer's economy was not as weak as previously estimated. Unlike previous reports that were mired with dropping labor participation rates and job additions below expectations, this report paints a generally rosy picture of a recovering economy.
A new report found Ohio-based Murray Energy might be coercing employees into making campaign contributions to Republicans. It seems Bob Murray, Murray Energy's CEO, directly encourages employees to make donations through memos and strong language. As a result, the company has an unusually high amount of donations to Republican candidates, including senatorial candidate Josh Mandel, presidential candidate Mitt Romney and House Speaker John Boehner. The company's PAC and staffers are the sixth biggest source of funding for Mandel.By their own admission, Republicans misrepresented Issue 2. The good news is they have agreed to stop using some of the misleading language. If Issue 2 is approved by voters, it will give redistricting powers to an independent citizens commission. Currently, elected officials redraw the district boundaries, and they use the system in politically advantageous ways. The Republican majority redrew the First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati to include Warren County, which places less emphasis on urban voters that typically vote Democrat and more emphasis on rural voters that typically vote Republican. CityBeat previously covered redistricting and Voters First's reform here.
The state auditor gave a mixed review to Ohio's schools and education department yesterday. In an interim report, the auditor criticized a handful of school districts for scrubbing attendance reports and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) for having poor oversight. ODE promised "additional safeguards" in response to the report.Gov. John Kasich is continuing his privatization campaign. The governor is finally close to leasing the Ohio Turnpike, and he says that could raise more than $1 billion.
It turns out Kasich's number about Ohio's auto industry losing 500 jobs might be correct, but only because of the time frame and terms Kasich used. In general, the auto industry in Ohio has improved since 2009.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is leading the charge, but it's only the beginning. A few movies are taking advantage of the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, which is meant to bring film production to Ohio. Seven films will be filmed in Ohio: Underdogs, Crooked Tree, Blood of Redemption, The Tribunal, A Dog Named Suki, In Other Words and The Do Over. Since the tax credit began, the Ohio Film Office has helped employ more than 19,000 Ohioans and added nearly $205 million to Ohio's economy.

Ohio's unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent in December, down from 6.8 percent in November, according to new numbers from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. In comparison, the U.S. unemployment rate was at 7.8 percent in December. The amount of unemployed dropped from 391,000 to 388,000. Unfortunately, the amount of employed also dropped, indicating that some people are leaving the labor force.
The Republican State Leadership Committee admitted the only reason Republicans kept a House majority was politicized redistricting. The admission from a memo titled "How a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013." The report even singled out Ohio as a state that benefited Republicans due to redistricting. CityBeat previously covered the issue in-depth here.

Redistricting reform may have died in front of voters, but will the state legislature pick up the pieces? Ohio Sen. Keith Faber, a Republican, and Ohio Sen. Nina Turner, a Democrat, say a deal is close. The senators say the task force in charge of finding a way to reform the state's redistricting system could release a report later this week, and a public hearing is scheduled for next week. The congressional redistricting process has scrutiny for decades as politicians have redrawn districts for political gain. The First Congressional District, which includes Cincinnati, was redrawn during the Republican-controlled process to include Republican-leaning Warren County. The change was enough to dilute Cincinnati's Democratic-leaning urban core, shifting the district from politically mixed to safely Republican.
A group in favor of President Barack Obama is taking the federal fight over taxes to a local level. Ohio Action Now is planning a Friday rally in front of U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot's office demanding that he accept tax hikes on individuals making more than $250,000. Chabot, who represents Cincinnati's congressional district, and other Republicans oppose the plan because it taxes what they like to call "job creators." However, research has shown taxing the wealthy is economically better than taxing the lower and middle classes. The International Monetary Fund also found in an extensive study that spending cuts hurt economies a lot, but tax hikes barely make a negative impact. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, is also criticizing Republicans for not accepting Obama's tax proposal.
Hamilton County commissioners did not agree to raise the sales tax; instead, they will reduce the property tax rollback. For residential property owners, the tax hike adds $35 per $100,000 of a home's valuation. Commissioners say either a reduction in the rollback or a sales tax hike is necessary to balance the county stadium fund, which has undergone problems ever since the county made a bad deal with the Reds and Bengals. None of the current commissioners were in office when the original stadium deal was made.
The city of Cincinnati and a city union have reached a deal on privatizing parking services. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) agreed not to oppose the plan after the city promised not to lay off union employees. As part of parking privatization, 25 union members will lose their current jobs, but they'll be transitioned into other city jobs. City Manager Milton Dohoney insists parking privatization is necessary in his budget plan if the city wants to avoid 344 layoffs. The public will be able to weigh in on the budget proposal today at 6 p.m. at City Hall and Dec. 10 at 6 p.m. at Corryville Recreation Center.
Cincinnati City Council approved a resolution asking the state government for local control of fracking operations. But the resolution has no legal weight, so the state will retain control. Fracking has been criticized by environmentalists who see it as a possible cause of air pollution and water contamination. Critics also want to know what's in the chemicals used during the fracking process, but, under state law, companies are not forced to fully disclose such information.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will meet Dec. 12 in Covington to discuss a study funding the Brent Spence Bridge overhaul. Some, including Greater Cincinnati's Port Authority, have pushed for tolls to help fund the bridge project, but northern Kentucky lawmakers are strongly against the idea. The bridge, which links downtown Cincinnati and Covington, has been under heavy scrutiny due to deteriorating conditions and over-capacity.
The city of Cincinnati and web-based SoMoLend are partnering to provide crowd funding to the city's small businesses and startups. The partnership, which was approved by the Small Business Advisory Committee, is meant to encourage job and economic growth.
The Ohio Senate will rework a bill that revamps the school report card system. The bill seeks to enforce tougher standards on schools to put more pressure on improvement, but some Democrats have voiced concerns the new standards are too tough as the state replaces old standardized tests. A very early simulation from May showed Cincinnati Public Schools dropping from the second-best rating of "Effective" under the current system to a D-, with 23 schools flunking and Walnut Hills High School retaining its top mark with an A.
The Ohio House passed a bill banning Internet sweepstakes cafes, but it's unsure whether the Ohio Senate will follow suit. State officials say the cafes are ripe for criminal activity.
More Ohioans are seeking help for gambling problems.
A bill seeking to curb duplicate lawsuits over on-the-job asbestos exposure has cleared the Ohio Senate. Proponents say the bill stops double-dipping from victims, but opponents say it will make legitimate claims all the more difficult.
The Ohio Supreme Court declared the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to be in contempt for not following a court order requiring the state agency to compensate 87 landowners in Mercer County for flood damage. As a result, ODNR must complete appraisals within 90 days and file all appropriation cases within 120 days.

The city manager unveiled his budget plan to solve the city's $35 million operating budget deficit yesterday. The plan includes less layoffs than expected — particularly to cops and firefighters — but it proposes an increase to property taxes. The plan also includes a series of other cuts, including to all arts funding and subsidies that go to parades, and new fees. The release for the budget plan says many of the cuts could have been avoided if the city obtained revenue from the proposed parking plan, which is currently being held up by a referendum effort and court challenges. The operating budget is separate from the streetcar budget, which uses capital funds that can't be used to balance the operating budget because of limits established in state law.
The budget plan still has to be approved by Mayor Mark Mallory and City Council to become law, and City Council will hear the public's opinion before a vote at three public hearings: May 16 at the Duke Convention Center, May 20 at College Hill Recreation Center and May 22 at Madisonville Recreation Center. All the hearings will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder says he hopes the Constitutional Modernization Commission will produce a ballot initiative for redistricting reform in 2014. Politicized redistricting — also known as "gerrymandering" — has been traditionally used by politicians in power to redraw congressional district borders in a way that favors the political party in charge, but reform could change that. Gerrymandering was used by national and state Republicans to blunt losses in the 2012 election, as CityBeat detailed here.
As Ohio struggles to expand Medicaid, our more conservative neighbor to the south is moving forward. CityBeat covered the Medicaid expansion in Ohio, which the Health Policy Institute of Ohio says would insure nearly half a million people and save millions of dollars by 2022, here.

Cincinnati plans to avoid a streetcar delay. Despite what the city told CityBeat Monday, it seems the delay was due to the ongoing conflict with Duke Energy, and the city wants to put an end to it. City officials are seeking to set aside $15 million from the recent sale of the Blue Ash Airport to ensure the streetcar stays on track by initially paying for moving utility lines and pipes to accommodate for the streetcar. The money is expected to be recovered once issues with Duke Energy are settled. Expect more details on this story from CityBeat this afternoon. CityBeat previously covered the connections between the Blue Ash Airport sale and streetcar here.
Cincinnati's economic recovery is coming along. In August, Greater Cincinnati home sales hit a five-year high. The 2,438 homes sold were a nearly 16 percent increase from August 2011.
Voters First is suing the Ohio Republican Party for what the organization says are false claims over Issue 2. The complaint, filed to the Ohio Elections Commission Tuesday, points out three allegedly false accusations about the redistricting amendment. A hearing on the complaint is today. Also, it seems Ronald Reagan, who modern Republicans claim to greatly admire, would have supported Issue 2:

Kroger recalled bags of fresh spinach in 15 states, including Ohio, yesterday. The spinach, which was supplied by NewStar Fresh Foods LLC, may hold listeria monocytogenes, which could make a pregnant woman or anyone with a weakened immune system very sick.

More than 450 apartments are being planned for downtown West Chester.The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS) is looking for advice. Every four years, the department hosts the Child Support Guidelines Advisory Council, which revises the state child support program, and gets citizen feedback on how the program can improve.

The Ohio Senate will not take up the heartbeat bill and a bill to defund Planned Parenthood in the lame-duck session. The heartbeat bill was called the most radical anti-abortion legislation in the country when it was first proposed. It sought to ban abortion after a heartbeat is detected, which can happen as early as six weeks into pregnancy. However, there have been some rumblings of bringing a new version of the heartbeat bill to the Ohio legislature, and recent moves by Ohio Republicans show a clear anti-abortion agenda. In a statement, Kellie Copeland of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio cautioned the bills will come up again next year: "Make no mistake about it, the threat to women's health may be delayed, but it remains. We fully expect anti-choice forces to reintroduce these dangerous attacks on women's health when the legislature reconvenes in January."
In a 4-3 ruling, the Ohio Supreme court upheld the state's redistricting map. Democrats claimed the Ohio House and Senate districts were unconstitutional, while Republicans insisted the map was fine. The Republican-controlled government redrew the districts in a way that favors Republican candidates for public office. The Ohio Supreme Court is skewed heavily in favor of Republicans; six justices are Republicans, while only one is a Democrat.
Ohio high schools have a bit of work to do, according to federal data. Apparently, the state has worse graduation rates for blacks than all but five other states and the District of Columbia. Ohio did manage to improve its graduation rates by more than 2 percent over four years, as required by the federal program Race to the Top.
To avoid an estimated $18 billion in fuel and congestion costs, a coalition wants to speed up the Brent Spence Bridge project. If the Build Our New Bridge Now Coalition is successful, the project will begin in 2014 — four years ahead of schedule. But the organization is pushing a public-private relationship that would likely involve tolls, and Kentucky lawmakers oppose that idea.
Cincinnati and Hamilton County were picked to participate in a program that puts the long-term unemployed back to work. The program was originally started in southwest Connecticut in 2011 by WorkPlace with some success. It placed 70 percent of participants in jobs, with 90 percent moving to full-time employment.

Exclusive Technology Helps Keep Couples Together
HENDERSON, NV – April 1, 2013 – This morning Zappos.com announced the launch of a new Fashion Management System (FMS) which will notify customers when sock/sandal combinations are added to their shopping carts, blocking them from making a purchase. Zappos conducted numerous focus groups and learned that an overwhelming 93% of men who wear socks-with-sandals are less attractive to their spouses.
"We've all experienced this travesty, and as a service company, we felt it was our responsibility to save the world from this fashion epidemic," says Chris Peake, head of Zappos Product Development. "There's still a lot of work to be done, but the war on socks-with-sandals is worth fighting."
While in beta, the FMS is available to customers whose cumulative lifetime spend on the Zappos.com website exceeds $1 million. To sweeten the deal, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh has offered a free awkward dancing llama from his personal collection on a first come, first serve basis to FMS users who make a purchase today.

BRANDYWINE, Md. (WUSA) - Prince George's County police have cleared the scene of a collision between an unmarked police cruiser and a civilian driver near Branch Ave.
The accident took place just before 9 p.m., according to a police spokesperson, who said the collision happened at the intersection of Branch Ave. and Dyson Rd.
Both the officer and the civilian driver were injured in the crash, and were taken to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The accident is still under investigation, but police say the early indication is that the civilian driver was at fault.

US Job Market: Cloudy With A Chance of Expletive
The December 2013 jobs report was about like the December 2013 weather. It was cloudy with a chance of Expletive. Depending on whose estimate you trust more, the models missed reality by 113 to 151 thousand. I'll credit the BLS with not hiding the decline and admitting this one was a stinker. Contrary to expert opinion, I think it would have been a stinker regardless of what fell out of the sky. If the current set of conditions indicates recovery, God preserve me from an economic relapse. I'll detail my reasoning below.Read More »

Apeiron Biologics closed its first transaction in its ongoing initiative to out-license APN311, an antibody-based immunotherapy in development for the treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma. Paladin Labs entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Apeiron, under which Canada-based Paladin receives the rights to market and sell APN311 in Canada and Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa.
According to the company, APN311 is the most clinically advanced substance in its development pipeline which is focused on immunologic and biologic therapies against cancer. APN311 is a monoclonal chimeric antibody (ch14.18/CHO) targeting the GD2 antigen on neuroblastoma cells and is currently undergoing a randomized Phase III in Europe.
The deal also marks a milestone in Apeiron's development strategy to treat neuroblastoma, a strategy that also led it to acquire rights to further develop and commercialize the immunocytokine hu14.18-IL2 from Merck KGaA, Germany in February 2011.

1965 Ford Galaxie 5.0L V8Written by Brandan Gillogly on May 2, 2014 Coyote Power Meets '60s Styling
John Walker purchased this '65 Ford Galaxie in 2010 with the intention of restoring it. His father had owned a '65 Galaxie 500 coupe, and John owned a Fox-body 5.0L convertible. This drop-top combined two of his favorite aspects of both cars, the clean lines of the '65 that had always resonated with him and, at well over 6 feet tall, the convertible roof offered unlimited headroom. In his first two years of ownership, John had turned the car into a reliable cruiser and installed a fresh white top with a glass back window, but he really wanted to push the car to a higher level in both form and function. A meeting with Dave Kindig, at Kindig-It Designs in Salt Lake City, Utah, resulted in a rendering that used an off-center stripe based on a '60s race jacket. John knew they were on to something.
Kindig-It Designs has earned a reputation for combining show-winning custom looks and tremendous power with daily driver reliability. When Dave told John that the extensive build they'd just schemed up would mean that they'd be forced to undo a lot of the work he'd already done making the car a driver (including removing his new convertible top), John wasn't deterred. The top was trashed, the car was gutted, and construction began.
427 Cammer Vs. Coyote 5.0L
Ford's 427 single-overhead cam, "Cammer," made its first appearance on the cover of HOT ROD's Jan. '65 issue. The engine was a direct response to the 426 Hemi and was intended for NASCAR use, but it was banned before its first race and was never installed in a production car.
Here's how the parts-counter versions of the Cammer and Coyote stack up. We'll be referencing Ford Racing Part's (FordRacingParts.com) Aluminator XS (PN M-6007-A50XS) and the factory rating for Ford (PN C6AE-6007-359J), which was available in 1968.
|Ford 427 Cammer vs. Coyote 5.0L
|4.232 inches/3.629 inches
|3.784 inches/3.649 inches
|Bore Spacing
|4.62 inches/3.937 inches

J.S. Custom Interiors in Salt Lake City wrapped the split bench in bright red leather. The seats ride on modified mounts to fit the owner's 6-foot, 10-inch frame. The carpet is square weave in matching red.The car's minitubs wouldn't allow for a fullsize glass window, so a new black convertible top was installed with a plastic rear window.The massive trunk uses the same carpet and leather as the cabin, and extends that treatment to the underside of the decklid.Ring Bros (RingBrothers.com) doesn't make billet hood hinges for Galaxies, but it does make them for '69–'70 Mustangs. All it took was a bit of custom modification and they work perfectly for the larger Ford.With a future of street driving in mind, both John and Dave established early on in the design process that a new suspension was in order, which led to an Art Morrison MaxG chassis with rack-and-pinion steering. This shot shows the flipped power-steering mount that helped on the Coyote engine swap (factory 5.0L Mustangs use electric power steering). The engine block, oil pan, and 4R70W transmission built by Intermountain Transmission Exchange were all painted red to match the exterior graphics.Art Morrison tubular upper and lower control arms mount Wilwood spindles and 13-inch Wilwood rotors that use Superlite six-piston calipers.The narrowed rear framerails, 48-inch-wide Strange Engineering 9-inch rear axle, and 3-inch-wider wheelwells allow for the massive 20x10-inch Billet Specialties wheels and 335/20R20 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The Flowmaster HP2 mufflers allow plenty of clearance between the driveshaft and the four-link bars.
If you're not a Galaxie aficionado, it might be hard to notice all of the subtle changes made to the car's body. In front, the headlight housings were flush mounted and the bumper was extensively reformed. It's now narrower to better match the body, the mounting hardware is hidden, and the license plate mount is gone.

Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- The president of the fast-food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A has once again injected himself into the gay marriage debate, this time criticizing Supreme Court rulings.
Dan Cathy posted a comment Wednesday on Twitter criticizing a pair of U.S. Supreme Court rulings. Those decisions will extend federal recognition to same-sex marriages in the states where they are legal, and will add California -- the most populous state -- to the 12 others in that category.
"Sad day for our nation," Cathy wrote. He added that the country's founders would be "ashamed" of the modern generation.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the post was later deleted. Chick-fil-A officials issued a statement acknowledging the post, saying Cathy was offering a personal comment.
Cathy previously sparked controversy by speaking against gay marriage, prompting protests and condemnations by politicians.

Born Yuriko Kikuchi on Jan. 6, 1981, in Kanagawa, Japan, Kikuchi was the youngest of three children and an only daughter. From the time she was a young girl Kikuchi loved movies, but it was her introduction to the films of John Cassavetes and the striking performances of his wife Gena Rowlands that inspired her to begin acting. Agents encouraged Kikuchi to start her career with commercial modeling, but the feisty teen found it boring and also rejected suggestions that she learn to be a pop singer, as her sights were firmly set on dramatic film acting. Her earliest big screen appearances were in a pair of films by renowned Japanese director Kaneto Shindo: "Ikitai" (1999) and "Sanmon Yakusha" ... Continue Bio >>

Genre: Drama, Romance | Run Time: 125 min | Rated: PG-13
Director: Josh Boone | Starring: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff, Laura Dern
By George Wolf
With "Don Jon" last year, Joseph Gordon-Levitt wondered if maybe, idealized romance fantasies can be as harmful to actual relationships as pornography. "The Fault in Our Stars" is just the latest example to make his point.
Based on the best seller by John Green, it centers on an ordinary teenage girl (who of course narrates, to reinforce the feeling for the teenage girls watching that it's their story, too). But she's not really ordinary, she's just waiting for that dreamy boy to come into her life and instantly see the special snowflake that she truly is, forsaking everything in his own life to make sure she feels special every special second of every special day. Green's 2012 young adult novel has sold 10.7 million copies worldwide, providing a built-in fan base for the film.
Shailene Woodley stars as Hazel, a young cancer patient who dreads her support group, but goes just to make her parents happy.
Then, one day, Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) comes to group, takes one look at Hazel and is instantly infatuated.
So, this time, the young lovers have to deal with cancer, adding an extra layer of manipulation opportunity to be explored.
Early on, Hazel expresses disdain for those unrealistic stories where "nothing is too messed up that can't be fixed with a Peter Gabriel song." Then, guess what? Some of those songs on the soundtrack are nothing more than bad Peter Gabriel rip-offs.
Woodley is a gifted actress, and does manage to bring some depth to Hazel, who admittedly is the most well-rounded character in the script.
Augustus is a one-dimensional mess, and Elgort ("Tommy" in the recent Carrie remake) can do little more than cast adoring glances and mug for the camera. But really, that's what he's there for, anyway.
Movies like this (and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", and "The Spectacular Now," and…) want you to believe their characters are unconventional and their message is insightful, when the exact opposite is true.
"The Fault in Our Stars" is the same old bill of goods.

Ocean City Slang
by Kim Goodin. Posted Oct 19th 2010 04:33 PM
Continue ReadingOcean City, Md., is a small town with a population of only about 7,500 year-round residents. However, during the peak tourism season, it's not unusual for more than 300,000 visitors to be in residence. What this means in terms of Ocean City slang is that there isn't much – at least, not in the traditional sense. A small town with a lot of external influences, Ocean City hasn't developed a colorful dialect (or a barn-full of derogatory terms for tourists!). Of course, there's a good bit of fishing and maritime lingo, which you'll most certainly hear if you spend any time at one of the marinas. Believe it or not, you might also encounter some surfing slang terms – Ocean City has historically been a hub for surfers.
Peruse these Ocean City slang terms and see what you can overhear as you explore the boardwalk or devour a few of those famous Maryland blue crabs!

My wife will record as many as 5-6 programs in the same time slot, very few of wich are on the regular broadcast channels. Add to that my 1-2, which hmeans that there have been as many as 8. Not very often, but it happens. If the grandson is over, that chewe up one more tuner.
A little clarification is needed here. She actually records 3-4 programs for latter playback while watching two other programs live delayed, bouncing back and forth between them.

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
I don't get this question. "Most remember?" Like they would be so distinctive that the detail of your remembrance of them from a brief encounter would be greater than others? If so you need more than a brief encounter with God to get him stuck in your head, he's a man of deep passions.
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT

An esteemed FSU alumna receives an award for her work in the hospitality industry.
Carol Dover was honored by the same FSU program she attended years ago.
It was all a part of the Dedman School of Hospitality's Alumni of the Year Reception.
Each year they honor an alum who has made a strong impact in the hospitality industry.
Dover was this year's recipient and she couldn't be any happier to get an award from the program that helped jumpstart her career.
"It is such an amazing honor, I can tell you that tonight's not about me, tonight's about Florida tourism and all the kids that grow up some day and decide they want to get into the hospitality industry," said Dover.
Jane Ohlin, Director Dedman School of Hospitality AT: 11
"We're really honored this year that it's Carol Dover. She's been a dear friend to me personally for many years and to the department for a long long time," said Jane Ohlin, Director for the Dedman School of Hospitality.
According to the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, the hospitality industry is the state's largest jobs provider.
They call it the "economic engine of Florida" as it generates $62.4 billion in revenue.

I've tried several times and still have no luck getting things working. For a little upfront background information, I have installed a basic FC4 load in vmware (I did read the information about changing the innodb thing to 50). I am not sure I have all the necessary packages installed since I haven't been able to find that anywhere in the documentation.
Anyway, when I run the install.sh script, for one when I select https, it never prompts me to create the certificate. The install completes...after waiting a while for the servers to start, but then when I run zmcontrol status, all I get back is:
Calling GetServiceInfoRequest (rocky.me.com)
RESPONSE: (Zimbra::Mon::serviceInfo)
ip 127.0.0.1
name rocky.me.com
I'm not sure what other information I can provide, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comments about Cap Barbell Regular Solid E-Z Curl Bar:
This EZ curl bar is as advertised, and works great. If I had to buy one again, I'd make sure it had clamps versus the threaded weight bar.
- Flimsy
- Loose Lock Spinners
Best Uses
Comments about Cap Barbell Regular Solid E-Z Curl Bar:
Cap is not known for poor quality. However, Cap products is not providing quality control before this "EZ curl bar" left their manufacturing plant. The lock spinners were loose and sloppy. The threaded ends were razor sharp, required filing down and sandpapering edges to prevent finger cuts. This is not a quality bar, save another 10 bucks and purchase a better name brand curl bar.
