NUTRITIONWith the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

Washington men's rowing heads to West Windsor, N.J., and Mercer Lake for the 114th Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship this Friday through Sunday.
Washington men's rowing is already on the East Coast, training for the 114th Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta next weekend at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J.
Five former Washington rowers, including four in the United States men's eight, earned a trip to the 2016 Olympic Games thanks to their performances at the Final Olympic Qualifying Regatta.
Seven current and former Washington rowers began their competitions at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta Sunday in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Washington will send five crews to the 2016 Intercollegiate Rowing Association June 3-5 in West Windsor, N.J. Today, the regatta's host, USRowing, announced the accepted entries for the 11 races.
Seven Washington rowers will vie for a place at the 2016 Olympic Games starting this weekend at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Washington's men's rowing team saw a streak of six consecutive Pac-12 championships broken and the UW women finished in third place as California won the men's and women's conference titles Sunday.
Lou Gellermann, who earned legendary status at the University of Washington on two entirely unrelated fronts, has passed away.
Washington Rowing heads to the Sacramento area this weekend as a total of 13 boats will take part in the Pac-12 Championships and the Pacific Coast Rowing Championships on Lake Natoma.
Eighty years after their legendary feat, recognition for Washington Rowing's 1936 eight-oared crew continues to come. Tonight, the Pac-12 Conference honored "The Boys In The Boat" as the conference's Varsity Eight of the Century.
The Washington Rowing program could not have asked for a better result in the 30th Annual Windermere Cup, as both the men's and women's rowing teams took home the Windermere Cup and the Erickson Cascade Cup for their respective programs.
Everything you need to know to follow the 30th Annual Windermere Cup / Opening Day Regatta Saturday May 7.

After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange voluntarily turned himself into British authorities today, he was denied bail and remains in custody until at least Dec. 14, according to The Guardian newspaper in London.
Assange, 39, was told by London Metropolitan police about new charges he faces in connection with two sexual encounters he had in Sweden. "He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010," the newspaper reported.
Just hours after a Swiss bank froze access today to a legal defense fund established for WikiLeaks provocateur Julian Assange, a group of hackers have shut down the bank's Web site in an escalating "infowar."
A group calling itself Operation Payback took responsibility for the Internet attack on the Swiss bank, PostFinance, via its Twitter account. "We will fire at anyone that tries to censor WikiLeaks," the group said in its announcement.

As newspaper insiders and others speculate about who will replace Tom Callinan at The Enquirer, sources report that Beryl Love and his wife made a quick trip to Cincinnati two weeks ago, the week before Thanksgiving.
Love is executive editor at The Reno Gazette Journalin Nevada, another publication owned by The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's parent firm. He was the first editor at the now-defunct CiN Weekly, and is a Cincinnati native and a University of Cincinnati graduate.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco sheds his clothes in a new print advertisement for an animal rights group.
Never one known to be shy or retiring, Ochocinco appears naked and holding a football in front of his genitalia in the ad for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Referring to the many tattoos visible on his muscular frame, the ad's tagline is, "Ink, Not Mink."
After more than a week of rumors, it was made official today: Enquirer Executive Editor Tom Callinan will retire at year's end to accept a professorship at the University of Cincinnati.
In an e-mail sent to staffers, Enquirer Publisher Margaret Buchanan announced the retirement and said Callinan's replacement would be named "shortly after the first of the year."
Journalism-related Web sites have been abuzz this week with rumors that Editor Tom Callinan is about to leave his job at The Enquirer. Callinan is keeping mum for now, but one of his rumored replacements says he will remain in California and not return to Cincinnati.
Jim Hopkins' Gannett Blog and some local sources are reporting The Enquirer has laid off between 5 to 7 people this week.
Two of the casualties were the person in charge of the incessantly promoted Moms Like MeWeb site and the assistant managing editor of operations, who performed the administrative functions in the newsroom.
CityBeat would like to thank everyone who joined us Saturday afternoon on Fountain Square for the broadcast of Comedy Central's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. We had no idea how many of you would venture down to the Square for a healthy dose of hot food, cold beverages and comedy from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but we were very pleased with the turnout. A nice crowd indeed. I'd even call it a "throng."
First she was elected president of the group's Greater Cincinnati chapter, and now WCPO-TV reporter Hagit Limor has been named president of the Society of Professional Journalists' national organization.
Limor, best-known for heading Channel 9's "I-Team" reports, was inducted to her new post Tuesday, on the final night of the organization's annual convention. This year the event was held in Las Vegas.
Investigative Reporters and Editors, a 41-year-old nonprofit, chose "Robin Hood in Reverse" as the best piece of student investigative journalism among major universities in 2015. The finalists included a 27-person team from 19 universities chosen for the national News 21 initiative at Arizona State University's Cronkite School of Journalism.
CityBeat published the story on May 6, 2015. It was researched and written by a dozen UC students, mostly juniors and sophomores, as a class project last spring.
The students examined athletic and academic spending at Ohio's eight largest universities. Using NCAA reports filed by each school, the class revealed individual students paid as much as $1,226 annually to subsidize soaring athletic department deficits at seven of the schools, including their own. Using a Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics database, the class showed academic spending per student dropped over the past decade at six schools.
One IRE contest judge praised the story for showing UC students were particularly hard hit, "unwittingly paying more than $1,000 a year" to cover athletic deficits while "spending-per-student on undergraduate education dropped almost 25 percent in recent years."
The judge noted interviews with UC students brought home the impact of spending decisions, citing several in the story: " 'It seems to be a corruption in education,' said one honor student. 'I didn't come to UC for sports. I came here for an education,' said another student."
Drawing on scholarly studies and interviews with experts, the student journalists disproved the widely held myth that a successful athletic program translates into an increase in applications and donations.
Dr. Jeffrey Blevins, chair of the UC Journalism Department, says the award demonstrates the progress his department has made since it was formed just four years ago.
"What impresses me most is that our student work is competing with the likes of some of the best journalism programs in the country — Columbia University, Northwestern University, Arizona State University and the University of Missouri," Blevins says. "We are a scrappy bunch, but we are making our presence known on the national stage."
In past years, IRE has awarded its top honor for student investigative reporting to some of the country's most renowned journalism programs, including Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.
The 12 UC undergraduates who researched and wrote the story are very much like the working-class students they wrote about. Many in the class were like Katie Coburn, then a sophomore who worked 35 to 40 hours a week at two jobs while taking 18 credit hours.
"I am a working-class student. I have a ton of loans, I pay my own rent, my utilities and my groceries," Coburn says. "All this motivated me to work harder because I was passionate about the topic."
UC Assistant Professor Craig Flournoy, who oversaw the project, says his students created a template any reporter could use to investigate the athletic spending arms race and its impact on academics.
"Focus on schools in the same state or athletic conference," Flournoy says. "Use NCAA reports to track each school's athletic deficits over time and how much a student pays to subsidize those deficits. Use the Knight Commission database to track each school's academic spending per student over time."
The online version of the story includes links to the Knight Commission database and academic research, along with databases and charts detailing the students' findings.
Once the students had this data, they interviewed officials, faculty members, experts and students, many of whom were unaware that they were footing the bill for the deficits and directly impacted by cuts in academic spending.
"Their quotes were among the most powerful parts of the story," Flournoy says.
Coburn says she was humbled by the award and grateful for the experience of working on the project.
"Great work comes from passion," she says. "Through this class, I proved that with my passion for journalism, I can make an impact before I graduate, before I'm even considered a professional journalist. I am a student, but I can still make a difference. That is what I proved to myself."
Along with Coburn, the students recognized for work on the story were Morgan Batanian, Fernanda Crescente, Taylor Jackson, Tyler Kuhnash, Camri Nelson, Taylor Hayden, Talis Linauts, Kayleigh Murch, Matt Nichols, Malia Pitts and Lauren Smith.

Just before we turned the corner from 12th onto Main, gunshots popped off behind us. We turned around and saw some dude running south on Sycamore. We bolted onto Main and jumped into a storefront doorway until things calmed down, called the police and then continued on our way. I followed up and found out that the man we saw running away neither died nor killed anyone.
It was a scene that has grown less common in recent years in the area, as the push of development has moved much of the drug dealing and related violence outward into other neighborhoods. In January WCPO reported that violent crime in OTR was down 74 percent since 2004, in part due to development and evolving policing tactics.
Such facts didn't deter The Enquirer from freaking the hell out yesterday when one of its reporters witnessed a shooting in front of a bunch of popular OTR restaurants. Reporter Emilie Eaton was on the same block when 30-year-old Gregory Douglas was shot around 9 a.m. near Vine and Mercer streets, fled a short distance then collapsed and died. Police today issued a warrant for the arrest of Darnell Higgins for the murder.
It's been a sad day for a lot of people: families and friends of the deceased and the accused; those who witnessed such violence up close.
It's also a sad day to consider the
state of local media, considering the response we've seen so far to The Enquirer's collection of coverage. It started with the reporter's first-person account of witnessing the shooting. Then came a news story questioning the neighborhood's safety, for some reason quoting the Hamilton County Republican chairman and a lone neighborhood resident saying he didn't feel safe these days. Soon afterward, a more formed version of the story was updated online — this time the headline tried to cleverly play on the word "dead" ("Gunfire in OTR brings
morning to a dead stop"). The headline was later changed, "After fatal shooting, no easy answer in OTR," though the insensitive quip lives on in the story's URL.
The Enquirer's
decision to frame Douglas' death as a question of whether or not OTR is
safe for those of us unaccustomed to witnessing violence is generating the type of
online debate (/clicks) the "newsroom of the future" was meant to induce. It has also been heavily criticized.
Here's former Cincinnati mayor Charlie Luken on Facebook:
Here's Derek Bauman, an OTR and mass transit advocate/suburban police officer, who wondered on Twitter why the first source in an early version of the "Is OTR safe yet" story quoted the county GOP chair before anyone else. Alex Triantafilou's take? "There is more work to be done to make our city as safe as the suburbs."
Eaton's first-person story was published just hours after the shooting occurred. "A stray bullet could have easily missed the victim and hit me," she wrote. "The gunman could have come around the corner for me. I'm lucky to be writing this story right now."
The story elicited strong response from readers, but perhaps not the kind the Enquirer was picturing. About 20 wrote comments questioning the appropriateness of the piece, many along the lines of this:
As writers molded dispatches from the
scene into The Enquirer's larger
collection of reporting on the incident, debate continued on social
media. Enquirer writer John Faherty took to the comment section of Eaton's article to defend her.
Those of us in the media don't enjoy criticizing each others' work, and we realize most people in the industry are dedicated and passionate. We respect colleagues at other media companies, especially when their dedication to the craft is evident.
Eaton clearly had a shitty morning. Her decision to immediately get back to doing her job is admirable.
Unfortunately, the collection of work to which she contributed was misguided, made worse by the classlessness with which Enquirer editors showed along the way. Publishing right-wing digs at inner-city neighborhoods has been a longstanding tradition at The Enquirer. Using a play on the word "dead" in a news story about a murder is the type of move that would get a college newspaper in trouble. It shouldn't be OK at any self-respecting daily.
There's no way to tell which "content coach" might have shaped yesterday's coverage. Any number of web editors could have written such an offensive headline — the newsroom of the future isn't set up to catch these things. Newsroom morale has been known to be low at Gannett papers across the country, and many of us actually feel bad for the many talented people struggling to produce quality work under such restrictive guidelines.
Ultimately, reporting that might have culminated in an articulation of how opposite worlds intertwine in front of our eyes every day instead became a question of whether it's smart to eat and shop near poor people.
Later versions of the story noted that the lunch rush on Vine Street continued as usual just hours later, suggesting that maybe the question of whether or not Vine Street is safe had already been answered.
"I'm not worried about it," said Mike Georgitan, a general manager at Pontiac BBQ on Vine Street. "It might affect lunch today – maybe," he shrugged. "But then it will pick back up."A person is dead, and the cycle of poverty, crime, drugs and violence that gripped Over-the-Rhine long before a Japanese gastropub opened at 15th and Vine is still occurring all over this city. The Enquirer would be wise to demonstrate an understanding of these forces rather than following the path of least resistance to Internet debate.
After the meeting, Cranley dismissed an offer by major philanthropy organization The Carol
Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation to pay for a study of
streetcar shut-down costs that opponents want to see
come in lower than the
city's estimates before they vote to completely stop the project. Cranley dismissed
the offer because it also came with a note saying that if the streetcar is canceled the foundation will
reconsider its contributions to Music
Hall, the Smale Riverfront Park and other city projects. Cranley would rather make the city pay for the study than negotiate with terrorists respond to threats.
About seven and a half hours into this debacle of American democracy — which included numerous procedural abnormalities including the mayor asking Council to discuss and vote on ordinances no one had read yet, an hours-long delay and a funding appropriation that leaves the cancellation vote safe from the pro-streetcar-threatened voter referendum (something Cranley railed against when the city administration kept the parking plan safe from referendum) — Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld livened things up with something everyone tired of the streetcar debate can agree is funny: undermining the mayor's authority by asking fellow council members to overrule him.
The following video published by UrbanCincy shows Cranley denying Sittenfeld an opportunity to speak. Sittenfeld then asks for a vote to overrule Cranley, which the mayor had to approve, and everyone but Kevin Flynn votes to overrule. (Flynn unfortunately had to vote first, leaving him unable to determine which way the vote was likely to go — a tough position for a rookie politician.) Once David Mann and Amy Murray voted to allow Sittenfeld to speak, the rest of the anti-streetcar faction followed suit, knowing Sittenfeld had the necessary votes to overrule Cranley. Then Sittenfeld spent a few minutes going mayoral on Cincinnati's new mayor.
CityBeat's German Lopez noted on Twitter the irony of The Enquirer now supporting both the streetcar and parking plan while the candidate it endorsed attempts to unravel both — Cranley already stopped the parking plan. The comment drew a response from Enquirer Editor Carolyn Washburn, who is on the newspaper's editorial board along with Publisher Margaret Buchanan and Editorial Page Editor David Holthaus.
The editorial includes the following paragraph: "In endorsing Cranley, we said he would 'have to rein in his dictatorial tendencies and discipline himself to be diplomatic, respectful and collaborative.' What we've seen so far is a matter for concern. Hurling insults at professionals like streetcar project manager John Deatrick isn't what we need. Deatrick enjoys a good reputation as someone who has managed The Banks project and the rebuild of Fort Washington Way. He needs to stay on the streetcar project."
The editorial was published the same day City Council put completing the project into law and Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld announced his decision to support the project's completion, which Lopez pointed out leaves Council short of the six votes required for an emergency clause that would immediately halt the project without leaving it open to referendum. Without the emergency clause, streetcar supporters could gather the required signatures to put a 5-4 cancellation vote to referendum, which would force the city to continue working on the project until voters decide on it in November.
Mayor-elect Cranley will hold a vote to stop the project on Monday. With Sittenfeld set to vote against halting the project, Cranley will need either newly elected David Mann or Kevin Flynn to vote in favor of stopping it. Both are on the record as being against the project but have left room to consider the financial realities before making their final decisions.
Cranley announced this morning that he will name the new city manager at 2 p.m. today. Cranley removed former city manager Milton Dohoney last week.
A story by The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte yesterday detailed life expectancy disparities among Cincinnati's poor neighborhoods, finding a 20 year difference at times between citizens of predominantly black or urban Appalachian neighborhoods and people of wealthy white neighborhoods like Mount Lookout, Columbia Tusculum and Hyde Park. The Cincinnati Health Department will release more statistics Tuesday and a community discussion on the issue is set for Jan. 10.
Pope Francis yesterday criticized the world's growing wealth disparity, mentioning things like "idolatry of money" and "a new tyranny" in a 50,000-word statement that sharply criticized trickle-down economics.
The Pope via The Washington Post:
"Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naive trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. … Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting."

Hundreds of streetcar supporters packed the Mercantile Library last night outlining the several different ways they plan to campaign to save the project — including various forms of litigation The Enquirer typically enjoys playing up as potentially costly to taxpayers — a story similar in concept to the anti-streetcar protests The Enquirer gave attention to leading up to the election.
The Enquirer's cursory wrap-up of the event was removed from the cincinnati.com homepage this morning, and it's currently not even listed on the site's News page even though it was published more recently than several stories that are. Left behind on the homepage is a real joke of analysis: the fact that the $1.5 million monthly construction cost divided by 30 days in a month amounts to $50,000 per day, assuming workers put in the same amount of time every day in a month and the city gets billed that way, which it doesn't.
The $1.5 million figure has been known for weeks, but $50,000 per day sounds dramatic enough that concerned taxpayers everywhere can repeat it to other ill-informed people at the water cooler. If these math whizzes wanted to really piss people off they would have broken it all the way down to $34.70 per minute, 24 hours a day. Man, fuck that streetcar!
At least the story's third paragraph offered a piece of recent news: Halting construction will still cost the city $500,000 per month because it will be on the hook for workers who can't be transferred and costs of rental equipment that will just sit there. (For Enquirer-esque context: It will still cost $16,667 per day or $11.57 a minute to temporarily halt the project.)
Also, the note in the headline ("Streetcar, which Cranley plans to cancel, still costing $50K a day") reminding everyone that Cranley plans to cancel the project that is currently costing money seems unnecessary considering THE ONLY THING ANYONE HAS HEARD ABOUT SINCE THE ELECTION IS THAT CRANLEY PLANS TO STOP THE STREETCAR. It does nicely nudge readers toward the interactive forum they can click on and publicly lament how people who don't pay taxes have too much control over our city.
(Additional professional advice: Consider changing the subhed from, "It'll be costly to stop, and costly to go on, but work continues until Cranley and new council officially stop it" to something that doesn't sound like you have no idea what the fuck is going on.)
For context, the following are the streetcar stories currently presented on the website homepages of local media that have more talent/integrity than The Enquirer:
WVXU: Streetcar supporters will remain active to keep project going
WCPO: Federal official: Cincinnati will forfeit $40M in grants if streetcar project is canceled
WLWT: Standing-room-only crowd attends Cincinnati streetcar meeting
Cincinnati Business Courier: Feds: If you kill the streetcar, we want our money back
CityBeat: Streetcar supporters pack Mercantile Library, Fountain Square
CityBeat: Streetcar cancellation would cost Cincinnati federal funds
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA BONUS: 700WLW even has a relevant piece of streetcar news, although you have to scroll past a video of Russian kids wrestling a bear and an article suggesting that Obamacare is the president's Katrina (whatever that means): Feds: Use money for streetcar or pay it back.
A Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals judge has denied the Milford-Miami Advertiser's request to appeal a 2012 ruling that charged the Gannett-owned suburban weekly with defamation and ordered the paper to pay the defamed plaintiff $100,000 in damages.
In an article published in the Advertiser on May 27, 2010 titled "Cop's suspension called best move for city," the paper implicated Miami Township police officer James Young, who years before had been mired in legal trouble for accusations of sexual assault that were eventually disproven, in its article discussing another sex scandal in the area.
According to court documents, in 1997, Young was initially fired from his job after a woman named Marcie Phillips accused Young of forcing her to perform oral sex on him while Young was on duty. An internal investigation revealed that the two had actually been engaged in a relationship prior and that Young had spent time at Phillips' house while on duty. The allegations, however, were entangled in questions about Phillips' character and concern that she could have been lying about the rape because the relationship between the two had recently ended on rocky terms.
When DNA testing on semen found on a rug in the woman's home proved that the DNA didn't match Young's, he was exonerated and reinstated to his position.
The Advertiser article explained that Young had been terminated for sexual harassment, immoral behavior, gross misconduct and neglect in the line of duty and also stated that "Young had sex with a woman while on the job," which formed the basis for Young's defamation suit.
The 2010 article dealt with similar accusations lodged against Milford Police Officer Russell Kenney, who pleaded guilty to charges that he'd been having sex with Milford Mayor Amy Brewer while he was on duty on multiple occasions.
Kenney was suspended from his position for 15 days, but was later reinstated even though Milford's police chief planned to recommend his termination to avoid having to use an arbitrator to dissect the case.
Although the article is attributed to writer Kellie Giest, the lawsuit revealed that the paper's editor at the time, Theresa Herron, inserted the section of the article that went to trial. According to court documents, Herron added the paragraphs about Young to Giest's story because she felt the article needed more context about why the city wanted to avoid arbitration.
According to court documents from the suit Young filed against the Gannett Satellite Information Network, Gannett responded the to initial complaint by acknowledging that the statement was a defamation of character, but that the statement was made without actual malice on the part of Herron. There is a high legal threshold for plaintiffs to establish a defamation claim, which require the plaintiff to prove several elements beyond a reasonable doubt; for public officials, the threshold is even higher because they most prove that the offender acted with actual malice — in this case, knowing the claim about Young was false and printing it anyway — to win a lawsuit.
In its appeal, Gannett argued that Young, as a police officer, did not meet the threshold of a public official required to successfully establish a defamation claim and that Herron's inclusions were based on rational interpretations of documents on the case — even though Young denied having sex with plaintiff Marcie Phillips, he admitted the two had kissed and the arbitrator's report documented one instance in which Young was at Phillips' house while on duty.
In the court's opinion denying Gannett's appeal, Judge John Rogers writes that Herron admitted she had read the arbitrator's report from Young's case, which provided no evidence that Young and Phillips ever actually had sex at all.
"There was sufficient evidence for the jury to conclude that Herron was well aware that the statement she added to the article was probably false," it reads. "Herron was also reckless in failing to conduct any investigation beyond the records of the original case. She did not seek out Young for comment, nor did she talk to anyone involved in his case."
The audit found The Enquirer's average daily
circulation, which excludes Saturday and Sunday, down to 117,754 from
132,076 between September 2012 and September 2013. Sunday circulation
fell to 235,515 from 262,876. The numbers represent a 10.8 percent decline in average daily circulation and 10.4 percent on Sundays.
The Akron Beacon Journal and Youngstown Vindicator also saw negative trends, with average daily and Sunday circulation dropping.
Cleveland's The Plain Dealer lost some of its Sunday circulation, but comparable statistics weren't available for average daily circulation because the newspaper transitioned from daily delivery to three-times-a-week delivery earlier in the year.
But The Toledo Blade and Dayton Daily News actually increased their average daily and Sunday circulation.
The Columbus Dispatch also upped its average daily circulation, but Sunday circulation fell.
For newspapers, dropping circulation coincides with more readers getting their news from the Internet and alternative sources over the past few years. The alternatives have cost newspapers around the country readers and advertising revenue, and many have responded with cutbacks in staff and overall news coverage.
In August, The Enquirer moved and laid off staff from its Kentucky and West Chester offices. The layoffs came as parent company Gannett dismissed more than 400 workers around the country, according to estimates from Gannett Blog.
Other media outlets appear to be taking advantage of the new vacancy. The Business Courier reported on Monday that Cox Media's Journal-News is increasing its presence in Butler and Warren counties to compete with The Enquirer. The move follows Cox Media's decision to merge its Hamilton and Middletown newspapers into a single entity that covers both cities and counties.
Councilwoman Yvette Simpson is questioning why WCPO used a man named Jim Kiefer as a source for a story after he harassed her on social media with racist insults.
WCPO's Kevin Osborne
quoted Kiefer in a story, identifying him as a supporter for John Cranley's mayoral
campaign. (Full disclosure: Osborne formerly worked for CityBeat.)
When Simpson saw the story with Kiefer as a source, she says she immediately recognized him as someone who has repeatedly harassed her with racist remarks on Facebook.
Kiefer's Facebook page was publicly viewable prior to Simpson calling him out on Twitter yesterday, but it has since been made private.
On Oct. 20, the day before WCPO's story was published, Kiefer posted a message on his Facebook wall that said, "For my pick as worst councilperson in cincinnati (sic).... Evette (sic) getto (sic) Simpson!" Although the post included various grammatical and spelling errors, Kiefer then attached an image that said, "No you may not 'Axe' me a question. I don't speak Walmart."
Several of Simpson's colleagues, including Councilman Chris Seelbach and City Council candidate Mike Moroski, have come to Simpson's defense after she posted the image.
The issue for Simpson is whether a media outlet should be
using Kiefer as a source, considering his images and posts were publicly viewable on Facebook. Simpson says Osborne never responded to
her email asking whether he or WCPO is aware of Kiefer's history. Osborne is Facebook friends with Kiefer.
CityBeat contacted WCPO News Director Alex Bongiorno by phone and email to ask about WCPO's policy for vetting and identifying sources, but no response was given prior to the publishing of this story.
WCPO's story detailed criticisms from Cranley supporters against opponent Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who Simpson supports. Specifically, the story questioned why Qualls allegedly never sought an opinion from the Ohio Board of Ethics over whether her work as a realtor presents a potential conflict of interest with her support for the streetcar project, which could increase property values — and perhaps Qualls' compensation as a realtor — along its route.
It turns out Qualls had asked for a professional opinion on the ethical issue at least two times before,
but the city solicitor deemed the connection
between Qualls' work and the streetcar project too indirect and
speculative to present a conflict of interest, according to an email
from City Solicitor John Curp copied to CityBeat and other media outlets.
Kiefer called CityBeat after people on social media discussed CityBeat's various calls for comment for this story. Kiefer said the images were supposed to be jokes. "You have to have a sense of humor," he said.
The Cranley campaign says it has and wants nothing to do with Kiefer.
"John (Cranley) wouldn't know Jim Kiefer if he walked past him in
the street right now. It's not someone that he's ever met. It's not
someone that he's ever dealt with. It's not someone that the campaign
has ever dealt with," says Jay Kincaid, Cranley's campaign director.
"Whatever his views are don't reflect those of John."
Kincaid also points out that Cranley's record goes against
some of the bigotry perpetuated by Kiefer's posts. While on City Council, Cranley
championed and helped pass an anti-racial profiling ordinance and LGBT
protections in local hate crime laws.
Simpson's history with Kiefer goes back to at least June,
when Simpson says Kiefer went on a racist tirade against her on Facebook
in the middle of an online discussion over the city's parking plan. The
discussion has been deleted since then, but Simpson says
Kiefer told her to never return to the West Side of Cincinnati.
This is not the first time Kiefer touted images with bigoted connotations on his Facebook wall. In one instance, he "liked" an image of President Barack Obama in tribal regalia. In another, he posted an image of Barney Frank that mocked the former congressman's homosexuality.
• Court rulings allow the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s heir to own and control his "I Have a Dream" speech to the 1963 march. Anyone wanting to use more than a few words must pay. My first reaction was "WTF? It was a public event in a public place and a public speech to the public. That can be 'owned'? Yup.
• Stenographic reporting of the so-called debate over whether to bomb Syria back into the Stone Age helps build acceptance for a new war. Similarly, assertions that Assad's forces gassed civilians are repeatedly reported as evidence or proof.
As of this writing, reporters have quoted no top Obama administration official willing to offer evidence or proof. Instead, as evidence, we have unverified videos online and interpretations of what the images show. Reporters don't tell us who provided death figures or who provided information that White House is using the claim Sarin gas was used.
• Meanwhile, the constitutional expectation that only Congress can declare war has suffered the same fate as the Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable seizures and searches; dying if not dead.
Germany and Japan attacked us. Congress responded for the most recent time: 1942. Russia's surrogate attacked our dictator across the 38th Parallel in 1950 and triggered the still-unresolved Korean police action. LBJ was conned or knowingly lied about reported 1964 attacks on American warships in the Tonkin Gulf and moved us into the undeclared Vietnam War. Luckily, Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait in1990 and started Gulf War I. The CIA's totally mistaken 2002 "slam dunk" assurance about Weapons of Mass Destruction was used by Bush to justify undeclared Gulf War II. After 9/11, Afghans sheltered Osama bin Laden before our allies in Pakistan sheltered him and that was used to justify our unfinished and undeclared war against the Taliban in both countries although the Taliban never attacked us. Let's not even get into the invasion of Panama or Grenada or fiasco in Somalia. All that's missing in this latest rush to bash a hornets nest is a repeat of the New York Times sycophantic reporting that Saddam Hussein had and would use weapons of mass destruction.
• If you want a weapon of mass destruction, how about the AK-47, the totemic Soviet assault rifle that is ubiquitous on every continent or the simple machete/panga with which millions have been and are being murdered and/or mutilated. No chemical, biological or nuclear weapon has killed so many people.
• When will some national reporter ask, "What's surgical about a surgical strike?" Nothing unless we're comparing it to carpet bombing a la Germany, Japan, Laos or Vietnam.
Other than assassinating Assad with a drone-launched guided missile — good enough for Americans in Yemen — any attack on Syria will create "collateral" damage. They used to be called innocent victims, sort of like French civilians killed by Allies' D-Day bombing.
"Surgical strike" is a debasement of the language. I'm surprised that surgeons — whose marketing mavens constantly promote ever-smaller and more precise bodily invasions — don't ask the Pentagon to abandon the phrase, "surgical strike."
However, it's no mystery why news media are willing, even eager to echo this desensitizing insider language. It recalls "RPG," "IED," "smart bombs," "boots on the ground" and similar military language embraced by civilian reporters for their civilian audiences. Except those buzz words weren't for civilian audiences; it was how reporters assured military sources that journalists were savvy and sympathetic listeners.
"Surgical strikes" serves us as badly as reporting unsupported assertions and assumptions as fact. Accurately reported bullshit is still bullshit.
• Accurate reporting requires context. Why is gassing hundreds of Syrian civilians in Damascus worse than shooting and killing as many or more civilians about in and around Cairo? Why is the killing and wounding of thousands in Cairo worse than endlessly raping, wounding, mutilating and killing millions of civilians in the horribly misnamed Democratic Republic of Congo?
• Our selective condemnation of poison gas recalls the 11th-century papal ban of the cross bow; peasant crossbowmen could kill armored knights from an unmanly and impersonal distance. That also was bad for the social order. Welsh bowmen faced no such opprobrium although their arrows killed far more mounted knights.
Jump ahead almost a millennium. There is debate on what is a chemical weapon and not all gasses — think tear gas — are poisonous. Poison gas was used infrequently but without sanction during the past 100 years.
Germans and the British gassed each other during World War I. Communists were accused of using poison gas during Russian Civil War. Italians gassed native troops in Ethiopia in the 1930s in years when colonial powers were suspected/accused of gassing rebellious native troops. Japanese gassed Chinese during early World War II. Egyptians gassed Yemeni forces in the 1960s but Americans denied using toxic/blister gasses in Vietnam and Laos. Iraq deployed lethal gas against its own people and Iranian forces in the insane Iraq-Iran 1980s war. Politicians and UN officials fulminate against gassing civilians but they only remind us how selective agony and journalism can be.
• No less authority than President Obama relegated the comparative to the dustbin of grammar. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial last week praised King and other civil rights activists, saying "Because they marched, America became more free and more fair." True, but I'll bet King would have said, "freer and fairer."
• Everyone's lauding David Frost's evocative interviews with disgraced Richard Nixon after he resigned the presidency. He died after a heart attack on Saturday.
My memory of Frost is different: TW3, the original That Was the Week that Was on BBC TV. It was as irreverent as posh Brits from Oxbridge could be and Frost was a central figure in its creation in 1962 and weekly broadcasts until it was cancelled to avoid criticism as the 1964 general election neared. Two skits stand out in my memory, in part because my Saturday night duties at UPI included watching and filing a story on anything newsworthy that TW3 did/said.
The first showed an otherwise empty set with seemingly naked Millicent Martin, then young and drop-dead lovely, astride and leaning over the back of a curvy, modern Arne Jacobsen chair. It was the same pose call girl Christine Keeler used when photographed during the scandal over her affair with government minister John Profumo. You can see the original Keeler image at www.vam.ac.uk. Martin resembled Keeler just as Tina Fey looked like Sarah Palin. Martin looked straight at the camera and said something like, "John told me I was sitting on a fortune." That was it. Perfect lampoon but there was no way to use that skit on UPI's wire.
The second memorable skit followed the apparent TW3 and BBC late night sign-off. A De Gaulle look alike, right down the uniform and kepi on his head, addressed the Brits contemptuously over some strategic or diplomatic blunder. Then the broadcast ended. That skit was newsworthy. BBC said its switchboard operators — remember, this was the early 1960s — were overwhelmed. Seemed the perfect jab at the Establishment by its children fooled a lot of Brits; they thought BBC really had broadcast a De Gaulle speech.
• On a celebratory note, authorities dropped charges against Tim Funk, religion reporter for the Charlotte Observer, who arrested while he interviewed "Moral Monday" demonstrators at the Statehouse in Raleigh, NC. He was charged with second-degree trespass and failure to disperse.
Tim's a Northern Kentuckian and among the ablest of decades of my undergraduate students. After the local prosecutor came to his senses, Tim told the AP, "It was clear to everyone there that I was a news reporter just doing my job interviewing Charlotte-area clergy about how they felt about being arrested. The reporter's job is to be the eyes and ears of the public who can't be present at important public events like this protest. That's all I was doing."
When his June 10 arrest was reported, at least one respondent noted that Tim was among the first detained, stopping him from seeing how police handled demonstrators.
His editor, Rick Thames, told AP, "This is clearly the right result, and we congratulate the district attorney for making the right decision. Tim Funk was working as a journalist inside the most obvious public building in our state. The videotape of Tim's arrest demonstrates clearly that his only purpose in being there was to provide our readers a vivid firsthand account. He was clearly not obstructing the police. It's hard to understand why he was arrested in the first place."
• Cincinnati taxpayers need to know more about competing — and inescapably costly — plans to overcome years of city council shortchanging the city pension fund. The news isn't good. As the Enquirer's James Pilcher put it Sunday, "if every man,woman and child living in the city of Cincinnati contributed $2,000 apiece, it still wouldn't be enough to fill the plan's current $870 million gap."
There's a timeline with his explanatory story that screams for elaboration: What, if any, roles did mayoral candidates Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley play in council decisions to deepen the pension debt?
And I howled at the quote from state auditor Dave Yost: " . . . the city is in a fork in the road . . . And I'm concerned Cincinnati is not doing enough to avoid going down that fork in the road."
Don't try this at home. Sort of like standing with a foot on each side of a barbed wire fence. Reminds me of a friend who'd look right, point left and say, "Go this way."
Maybe with Yost's sense of direction, Cincinnati should consider the road not taken.

Outside the Verizon Center Tuesday, fans are nursing another hockey hangover.
Last night, the Capitals lost to the New York Rangers, ending their chance this season for the Stanley Cup.
Another let-down after a great regular season. Or was it that great?
"This team wasn't as good as everybody thought down the stretch," says Sky Kerstein, 106.7 caps reporter. "They were only a point better than the Rangers going in to the playoffs so it was a close match-up in the first place."
They were good enough to make the playoffs but not advance - again. Fans say it's like we're cursed or something.
It's painful for D.C. sports fans like John Sneed.
"D.C. has some good talent, OK?. The Nationals, good talent. The capitals, good talent, Redskins good talent," he says.
But they come up short. The Redskins last won a championship 21 years ago. It's been 35 years since D.C.'s only NBA title. It's been nearly 90 for baseball and never for hockey.
"It is nice to make the playoffs but we want to take the next step now," says D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray.
Gray is quick to point out the Kastles tennis team wins a lot and D.C. United has won the soccer championship four times since 1996.
"I think we're moving in the right direction also," the mayor says. "I want to be as optimistic as I possibly can."
So maybe it's not a curse. But still a tough pill to swallow for fans craving a championship - and for a mayor who'd love to lead the victory parade.
"I don't take a backseat to anybody in the terms of the quality of our teams here," Gray says. "But having that championship no matter what sport it is, is always the ultimate bragging right."

Even as the Apple Watch goes on sale on April 24, rumour is rife that Google will be releasing one of the most comprehensive updates to Android Wear, its operating system for wearable devices, ever seen. As per some of the rumours, the update will facilitate smoother interaction, better voice recognition and will even support gestures, letting you do certain tasks with a flick of your wrist. The update is also expected to encourage more developers to come out with apps for Google's wearables platform by enabling them to take better advantage of different sensors on smartwatches.
As we go to print, YU, the brand which represents Micromax's tie-up with Cyanogen in India has announced that it will be releasing a second device, after the very successful Yureka. The device was codenamed Caesar and has now been officially titled Yuphoria. As there is no information available about the specs of the device, speculation is rife about them and its price. At the time of writing, most people were of the opinion that the device would actually be priced in the vicinity of Rs. 7,000 and would be slightly lower specced than the Yureka, although it would run on a 64-bit processor and have a 720p display. What is certain is that it will come with Cyanogen 12 out of the box.
We are hearing rumours that Nokia is slowly readying itself to make a comeback in the smartphone arena. The company had sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft and its sole product since then had been an Android tablet. However, if our sources are to be believed, the company is readying a number of Android phones which will come with its own interface and evidently will be targeted at the mid and lower price segments. The company is expected to highlight the camera and navigation as the devices' core strengths. Hardly surprising, is it?
If some of our acquaintances in the tech industry are to be believed, Microsoft is the latest company to have been bitten by the "˜gaming phone' bug (Nokia, Sony, Micromax and a few others have tried their hands at the same in the past). As per these worthies, the Redmond company is looking to come out with a phone that showcases the Xbox gaming experience. It is expected to sport a full HD 6.0-inch display, have 2 GB RAM, and will be surprisingly affordable too, while coming in some very funky colours. We are so keeping our fingers crossed for this.
The rumours about a new iPhone to be released this summer refuse to go away. We are now hearing that Apple will be releasing a device with a plastic back and a 4.7-inch display with specs similar to the iPhone 6, and it will be called the iPhone 6c. Considering the fact that the company's previous experiment in this regard with the iPhone 5c was not exactly a huge success, we must confess to taking this news with a pinch of salt. However, the sheer persistence of the rumours make us wonder if Cupertino might actually be looking at a more mainstream iPhone.

This review is from: iGo PS00128-0001 Universal Netbook AC/DC Adapter
Pros: Nice-looking compact charger that is adaptable for multiple products.
Cons: I have owned two of this company's other chargers and both have died within about a year. The company was great about honoring the two-year warranty on the first charger, but the replacement died a year later. Unfortunately their warrant is from the date of the initial purchase, so if the replacement dies and the two years from initial purchase have passed you are out of luck. I don't know about you, but that simply doesn't sit well with me. If you warranty your product for two years, then the clock should start again when the product is replaced.

Gregory Acs
We can't begin to make progress on social problems until we understand them, and that's the role of policy research.
Gregory Acs is the director of the Income and Benefits Policy Center at the Urban Institute, where his research focuses on social insurance, social welfare, and the compensation of workers. He recently completed a study of the factors contributing to persistently high unemployment in the United States and policy responses to that problem. In addition, Acs has studied the low-wage labor market, changes in welfare policies and how they have affected welfare caseloads and the well-being of low-income families, and how state and federal policies affect the incentives families face as they move from welfare to work.
Before returning to Urban in 2012, Acs served as unit chief for labor and income security in the Congressional Budget Office's Health and Human Resources Division. Acs is the author and coauthor of numerous scholarly journal articles, policy papers, and briefs as well as reports to federal agencies. He coauthored Leaving Welfare: Employment and Well-Being of Families That Left Welfare in the Post-Entitlement Era with Pamela Loprest in 2004.
In addition to his position at Urban, Acs is the vice president of the Association for Policy Analysis and Management. He is also a research affiliate with National Poverty Center at the University of Michigan and a member of the steering committee for the Employment Instability, Family Well-being, and Social Policy Research Network at the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration.
Acs holds a PhD in economics and social work from the University of Michigan.

The Buzz on Broadway: Explore Dance! Hits Broadway. (Summer Study Guide 2003)
Menotti, Andrea, Dance Magazine
It's a summer afternoon, and fifty-five girls from around the country are gathered onstage at New York City's Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, the school that inspired the movie Fame. They're learning one of the dance numbers from the current Broadway revival of Oklahoma! choreographed by Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman. Their teacher, and Stroman's assistant, is Lisa Shriver, a lively young woman who throws in showbiz buzzwords like "Here's the button of the number!" which, the young dancers learn, means the number's final moment.
For five days during the summer, or four days in February, Curtain Call Explore Dance! Learning Camp for Dancers brings dancers ages 10-18 and their parent or teacher chaperones (required for those under 14) to New York City for a multilayered experience of dance. Tonight, the girls have tickets to Oklahoma!, not only to see the musical but to watch how the Broadway dancers perform the steps the dancers are now learning. After the show, the girls go backstage and meet the cast, which gives the young dancers exposure to professionals at work.
Presented by Curtain Call Costumes, hosted by LaGuardia High School on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and now in its third year in New York City, the program includes technique classes in ballet, tap, jazz, Broadway dance, Pilates, and stretch. It also includes a choreography workshop that introduces basic Laban notation; tickets to shows; tours of dance schools such as The Juilliard School; chats with dance professionals; workshops on music-video production and preparing for auditions; and seminars on dance history and college planning. Remarkably, there is also time built into the program for the students to see the sights of New York.
Designed by Susan Epstein, a dancer, choreographer, and teacher at her own studio, Explore Dance! was conceived as an educational part of Curtain Call's Dance Club for young dancers. According to Epstein, Explore Dance! is for inquisitive dancers who are interested in delving into a complete dance experience, from studio to stage. "You don't need to aspire to dance as your career. It's not talent based," she explains, noting that no auditions are required. She continues, "It's not about how well you dance. It's more about your innate interest in dance." For Curtain Call it also means educating future teachers and audience members.
Epstein designed Explore Dance! to highlight aspects of the art that young dancers might not have considered. In the Oklahoma! pre-performance workshop, for example, learning a dance number from the current show is only part of the drill. Before they begin moving, the dancers are first introduced to the legacy of Agnes de Mille, who choreographed the original 1943 Broadway production. The girls learn about de Mille's life from Patricia Harrington Delaney, an assistant professor of dance at Southern Methodist University, and watch a video of de Mille's Oklahoma! …

Re: my cts 2008 wont start. abs light came on.
I am leaving this thread here for Cadillac Cust Svc, but I copied it to the CTS forum as well where it will get more exposure.
Please check in that discussion also, as another CTS owner may be able to offer you some advice.
Re: my cts 2008 wont start. abs light came on.
If you would like you can PM or email me your complete contact information (Name, address, phone number, email address) along with your VIN number, mileage and the name of the dealership that you are working with. I would like to check into this for you.

Re: my cts 2008 wont start. abs light came on.
I'm having the exact same problem with my 08 CTS. Only I have a couple of things to add. The problem only occurs when the car sits in below freezing weather. I can usually get the car started by letting it sit with the electrical aux on for 2-5 minutes. Then turning the car off and try to start it again. It will sometimes start up but there will be service air bag and service tire gauge light on. If I turn the car off then on again, the lights go away. If I let the car sit until noon and it warms up in the sun, the car starts right up. In addition, if I'm lucky the car starts up on the first try but if I let it sit, the service lights come on. If I drive the car right away they do not.
This is how I've had to start my car every morning instead of using the remote start that I paid for. It's been to the dealer twice but every time I bring it there the weather turns nice and the problem goes away. At this point I'm disgusted with the car and the dealership. Most of all I'm disgusted with the electrical engineering that didn't provide the software tools to record this issue when it occurs. Is Cadillac going to reimburse me for half of the year where the car is a $30k paper weight, probably not and that's understandable. But I would prefer if the electrical engineers were taken out back and whipped or better yet someone can help me fix this issue.

The Word of God
As you go, proclaim the good news, "The kingdom of heaven has come near." Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for labourers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgement than for that town.
Some thoughts on today's scriptureActiveDefault
- Jesus imparts a radical message to his disciples as he sends them out on mission. They are to cast out demons and cleanse lepers just as he did and take nothing for the journey, not even a spare tunic or sandals for their feet. It is a rallying call by Jesus to his closest followers to trust completely in the providence and love of God.
- I pray Lord that I may cling less to material things and more to your providential presence in my life, which is alive and active in every moment of my day and every decision I make. Help me to place all my hope and trust in you – for your love and generosity are never outdone.
Some thoughts on today's scriptureActiveDefault
- Jesus instructs his disciples to travel lightly – how unlike the modern traveller they are! He is not concerned with baggage allowances but asks us to look at our hearts to see how free we are. Am I defined by my luggage? Can I relax into my true identity and let go what does not matter? I picture my concerns on an airport carousel; here they come around again – what happens if I don't pick them up?

What stories Moses had to tell!
Moses witnessed events few people would ever see. God instructed Moses to tell his descendants about the miraculous experiences with Pharoah. (Exodus 10:2).
As God was speaking to the Israelites he commanded that his laws for living be passed on from parents to children. Religious education is important. It helps each generation obey God and set their hope upon him. God commanded the fathers to make known to their children the praises of the Lord and his strength and the wonderful works he has done.
John Newton (1725-1807) wrote the words to the hymn "Amazing Grace." God's grace reached down and touched Newton, a slave trader, and saved his soul. Read the words of the hymn to see how the Lord saved Newton.
Through the years many others have been pulled from a sinful life and had their feet placed on the solid rock. God's amazing grace comes through Jesus Christ (John 1:17) and opens the door to God. When you have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ things happen which results in eternal changes.

Well, my wife decided (without any pushing from me) that she loved the Trek 2000 WSD. We went and picked it up / got her fitting this evening. I checked over the whole bike including the true of the wheels, but did not check the side surface (where the brakes catch) till I got home tonite.
I noticed that each of the wheels have a small indention (bigger on the front than the back) where the silver "machined" surface is kind of gouged in. Is this normal? My rims on my Specialized to do not have this issue. Of course she will call the LBS tomorrow, but I was looking for some advice on weather this is normal or not.
I would assume if this is a problem, Trek will stand behind it?
WHEELS: Matrix Aurora, welded, machined sidewall rims;
