It was the weekend of Aug. 21 when KHTS 1220-AM switched its servers to handle a bigger load, station co-owner Carl Goldman said.
At the same time, the site began having problems loading, and by early the next week, he said, hometownstation.com was all but crippled.
"At one point, there were about 20 different servers attacking at the same time," Goldman said.
He likened it to 20 people trying to fit through one door at the same time.
The upside, he said, was that the damage done was not long-lasting.
"All they were able to do was ring the doorbell enough to shut us down," he said, adding KHTS' site was only targeted because of its size.
When Goldman and his staff started investigating, they found the influx of Web traffic had originated in Russia, which he said prompted him to contact officials from the U.S. State Department.
However, Goldman said there's little recourse for Web attacks on private entities.
"Unless they're attacking government Web sites, (authorities) can't take action," he said.
Newhall resident and avid blogger Jeff Wilson, who has maintained the site scvtalk.com for the last several years, had his own run-in days later.
Wilson's Web site was crippled by a massive influx of traffic he reportedly also traced back to Russia.
Homeland Security officials did not respond by Friday afternoon to inquiries about present cyber-security threats.
On the home front, the Department of Homeland Security maintains a national cyber-security division.
The two overarching objectives of that division are maintaining an effective cyberspace response system and implementing a cyber-risk management program to protect infrastructure, according to the Homeland Security Web site.
Starting in 2006, the department conducts Cyber Storm every two years, a drill that involves both the public and private sectors.
On the local level, the Admiral Group, headed by Jim Chaffee and Larry Jorgenson, is standing on the virtual wall when it comes to cyber-security.
Chaffee is a former police chief, head of security for the Disney Corp., Fox Studios and Kodak Theater. Jorgenson spent nearly 20 years as head of security for Pinkerton.
Chaffee sits on a Homeland Security committee helping oversee some of the nation's most sensitive security issues and Jorgenson works through private contracts with the U.S. military and high-level professional athletes.
Chaffee said Santa Clarita businesses can be directly affected by the nation's enemies overseas.
A cyber attack security breach presents every computer user on the globe possible interaction with spies and terrorists.
"Up here in the valley, a security concern in a business would be someone infiltrating their computer to get their processes of doing things," Chaffee said.
On July 4, the Associated Press reported a major "denial of services" cyber-attack on several major U.S. Web sites, including the White House, the Pentagon and the New York Stock Exchange.
Hackers extracted files from computers they contaminated with the virus that triggered the attack, the AP reported.
Last June, a hacker breached a San Diego medical center's database of patients' health records, forcing administrators to inform 30,000 patients their identification and medical records were compromised, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
And the Wall Street Journal reported last June that the electricity industry is scanning its grid after learning Russian and Chinese spies quite possibly infiltrated the system last April.
"Santa Clarita does not have any major issues regarding cyber-terrorism at this point," Chaffee said. "Only to the extent that they are the victims of collateral damage to other cyber-terrorism acts."
Santa Clarita Valley Business Journal Editor Michele Lovato contributed to this report.

Westminster College Names Dr. Michael S. Bassis as 16th President
Salt Lake City, December 11, 2001. After the full board's unanimous vote on the candidate of choice, Ginger Giovale, chair of the Westminster College Board of Trustees today announced that Dr. Michael S. Bassis has accepted and will become Westminster College's 16th president, effective July 1, 2002.
Bassis brings to Westminster College great breadth of experience in higher education, including serving as head of two colleges. A Ph.D. in Sociology of Education, Bassis has 20 years experience in higher education administration. He has taught sociology, published three books and authored numerous papers and presentations.
"I am thrilled with the appointment of Michael Bassis as our next President," said Ginger Giovale, chair of the Westminster College Board of Trustees. "Dr. Bassis brings experience, talents and ideas that make him a wonderful fit for Westminster College. He has an energetic yet understated and thoughtful way of leading change while honoring the past. He loves to tell the story of an institution he has come to admire and luckily, he has decided that Westminster College fits that description. We look forward to his leadership as we move to an even higher level of excellence."
Bassis, a tenured professor of sociology at New College of Florida, in Sarasota, is currently on sabbatical leave. During his sabbatical he is serving as senior development advisor, Association of American Colleges and Universities, and as senior scholar, at the Institute on the Future of Higher Education, Antioch University, a higher education think tank.
Members of the Institute are charged with envisioning the college or university of the future, examining how to transform education to take advantage of emerging technologies in teaching and learning, and exploring how institutions can become more learner-centered, while remaining cost effective.
His 20 years of administrative experience has most recently included serving as joint Dean and Warden of New College, Sarasota, Florida, and dean of the University of South Florida, Sarasota?Manatee Campus. Later he became warden of New College. (Warden is a title that emanates from New College, Oxford, which translates to president). During his three years there, Bassis presided over New College's change in status from a college of the University of South Florida to an independent institution in the State University System.
As president of Olivet College from 1993 to 1998, his leadership brought high praise from The Chronicle of Higher Education as well as Utah's Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Bassis' leadership at Olivet is showcased as a case study in Covey's book, Living the 7 Habits.
While at Olivet College, Bassis led collaborative processes that produced a new institutional vision, Education for Individual and Social Responsibility, a new curriculum, the Olivet Plan, and a campus-wide statement of expectations, the Olivet College Compact. The compact, resulting from a dialogue between the president, faculty and students, has become a guiding constitution for the college and is given to all entering students.
Bassis also reestablished longstanding support for cultural diversity, secured major foundation support for new initiatives, increased total annual giving, increased enrollment, and developed partnership agreements with universities, community colleges, school districts and community-based organizations. Over a period of five years, Olivet was recognized for the success of its efforts at institutional renewal by the American Council on Education, the Association of American Colleges and Universities, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the John Templeton Foundation.
The Chronicle of Higher Education described Bassis as a "restorer of trust at Olivet College."
As executive vice president and university provost at Antioch University the then president of the university, Alan Guskin, described Bassis as a "sophisticated planner," who was powerful and persuasive. Guskin notes that "his natural collaborative skills" served him well in unifying the five campuses around the country so they successfully worked together as a team.
"I identify strongly with the mission of Westminster College," said Bassis. "Blending and balancing the liberal arts with professional studies matches my perspective precisely. I certainly admire the progress that Westminster has made over the last 10 years. I also admire the culture of caring and commitment that has developed at the college. Just as important, I am excited about coming to Westminster because what the college says it wants, is what I do best?that is helping to develop and execute an ambitious agenda for becoming an even more prominent institution in the state of Utah and nationally."
From 1986 to 1989 Bassis served as vice president for academic affairs, Eastern Connecticut State University; from 1985 to 1986 interim assistant chancellor for educational services, University of Wisconsin-Parkside; from 1981 to 1985 he was associate dean of faculty at Parkside.
Bassis is a 1967 graduate of Brown University. He holds an M.A. and a Ph.d. from The University of Chicago.
"I am absolutely delighted that Michael will be the next president of Westminster College," said Peggy Stock, president of Westminster. "Dr. Bassis is a man of integrity and character, held in high esteem in the independent sector of higher education. Graduating with degrees from Brown University and the University of Chicago, Michael understands the opportunities and challenges of private higher education. I will be able to leave in June knowing that the college is in very good hands. He will keep the momentum going."
Westminster College, Utah's only private, nondenominational, nonprofit college, prepares its students for personal and professional success through a foundation of liberal education, combined with professional programs that include vital technological and communication skills. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Westminster in the top tier of regional colleges and universities in the Western United States for seven straight years.

Guwahati: Offspinner Parvez Rassol spun a web around Assam batsmen with a sensational seven-wicket haul to put Jammu and Kashmir in the drivers' seat on the second day of their Ranji Trophy group league match. Rassol returned with figures of 23-9-41-7 to trigger Assam's batting collapse as J&K bowled out the home side out for just 165 from 64.3 overs in their first innings in reply to the visitor's 323 all out.
J&K took a vital 158-run first innings lead. They ended the day at 1 for no loss in their second essay, stretching their overall lead to 159 with all the 10 second innings wickets intact.
Brief Score:
Jammu and Kashmir: 323 all out in 109.1 overs (Obaid Haroon 52; Arup Das 6 for 87) and 1 for no loss in one over. Assam: 165 all out in 64.3 overs (Dheeraj Jadhav 69; Parvez Rassol 7 for 41).
In Visakhapatnam, Duvvarapu Shivkumar scored an unbeaten ton and veteran Amol Muzumdar hit a half-century to steer Andhra to 393 in their first innings against Goa. The hosts then reduced Goa to 72 for 1 at stumps.
At stumps, Sagun Kamat was batting on 41, while giving him company at the other end was AS Desai on 12.
Brief scores:
Andhra 1st inngs: 393 all out in 137.1 overs (Duvvarapu Shivkumar not out 106, Amol Muzumdar 88; Saurabh Bandekar 5 for 107, HH Gadekar 4 for 97). Goa 1st innings: 72 for 1 in 31 overs (Sagun Kamat batting 41; Duvvarapu Shivkumar 1 for 6).
In Nadaun, Tripura posted a massive 441 and then reduced Himachal Pradesh to 111 for 5 to give the visitors an overwhelming upper hand. Having started the day on 325 for 4, Tripura eventually folded for 440-plus runs. For HP, Rishi Dhawan finished with four for 114.
In reply, HP were struggling when the stumps were drawn with Aatish Bhalaik unbeaten on 28 and Rishi Dhawan batting on 16. HP got off to a poor start in their first innings as Murasingh dismissed both the openers -- Aakash Chopra (1) and Prashant Chopra (6) -- in consecutive overs.
Though Varun Sharma (24) and Paras Dogra (23) managed to steady the boat for a while, Rana Dutta struck hard to dismiss the latter and then added new batsman, Amit Kumar's wicket to his kitty in the same over to leave the hosts reeling at 49 for four.
Brief scores:
Tripura 1st inngs: 441 all out in 129 overs (Ajay Ratra 56, Abhijit Dey 45; Rishi Dhawan 4 for 114).
HP 1st innings: 111 for 5 in 37 overs (Varun Sharma 24; Rana Dutta 2 for 25, Manisankar Murasingh 2 for 36).

on November 3, 2012 - 12:01 AM
, updated November 3, 2012 at 12:46 AM
Today, times are tough. Faced with economic difficulties, global intolerance and public safety concerns, we Americans certainly are experiencing a variety of challenges. Yet, what is disconcerting to me is when I view one of these challenges at what is supposed to be a friendly, competitive interscholastic athletic event in my hometown.
I am a resident and parent in an affluent suburban school district, as well as an English teacher in a less affluent school district. Proud of both aforementioned titles, I work diligently to be an excellent mom, teacher, community member and overall role model. Therefore, I need to relate an unnecessary problem I continue to witness.
Comparing the districts of my residence and employment is not an apples-to-apples exercise. My resident district's poverty rate is significantly lower than my employer's; my employer also is a highly diverse school district in terms of ethnicity and socioeconomic status. None of this really matters to me, except when I see unsportsmanlike behavior at local boys varsity soccer games.
I have been attending my employer's games for years, not only because I played and love soccer, but as part of my commitment to support my students inside and outside of the classroom. In fact, in my soccer-playing students, I continually see growth in maturity, integrity, leadership and the ability to win, and perhaps even more importantly, to lose with dignity and grace. Unfortunately, I also have witnessed parents of my residential area be rude, mean-spirited and downright ignorant.
Recently, the school at which I teach played a team from my residential school district. As a spectator on the sidelines, I overheard numerous derogatory comments directed at my students and school. Racial slurs were said about my students both on and off the field, and rude, snide remarks were made about my students who choose to celebrate their individuality in terms of their appearance. In addition, when players from my employer's varsity and junior varsity teams were injured at the same time and our athletic trainer treated the varsity player first, the affluent parents commented on the lower socioeconomic status of my school, claiming we could only afford one trainer per two games.
Ultimately, after the game was over and the visiting school earned a deserved victory, I overheard the parents from the winning side snickering about how great it was to defeat the poor, dirty team on its home field. Why, I ask?
The students from both teams on the field played good soccer. Was there some strong physical contact made? Absolutely. That is what soccer is – an aggressive, contact sport. Was there some teenage boy trading of insults? Most likely, but nothing was evident to the spectators. Instead, what was evident on the field was good sportsmanship, especially when an opposing teammate assisted one of my students who experienced a debilitating leg cramp. In short, both teams played a strong, hard game of soccer with respect. I can't say the same for the parents.
I was embarrassed to be a parent of my residential school district that day. Having economic means, a big house, an advanced degree or an expensive car does not equate to having respect, tolerance and understanding. I hope the parents I overheard learn this lesson as solidly as my less fortunate students have. My students and their families may not be as wealthy as other students and families, but they truly are rich in spirit.

Sylvia M. Karet, a high school librarian regarded as "outspoken and ahead of her time" by family and friends, died Sunday, Jan. 20, six months shy of her 100th birthday, at Wyndmoor Hills Health Care & Rehab Center.
The cause of death was congestive heart failure after a fall last year in which she fractured a femur, her family said.
The former Sylvia Mandel had social standing as her family's matriarch. But she was best known for taking a professional job long before women routinely did so, her family said.
"She received a good education at a time when educating women was not a priority since, it was believed, they were not going to be breadwinners but homemakers," said her daughter Toby K. Eisenstein.

Editor's Notes
We first announced this Web Home Page almost exactly two years ago (Volume 29, No. 3, 1995).
At that time, we bravely stated: "This site is intended to help engineers throughout the design-in process. There are articles and white papers discussing the underlying technologies, search tools to help you find the ideal component for your application, and we are developing a full set of material, including data sheets on every current part—and even SPICE models and evaluation-board layouts for many of them."
During the past two years, many of you have visited our Web site as it has developed. Some (hopefully, many) have been gratified, others (hopefully, few) have been disappointed. You've expressed your likes and dislikes quite volubly—and we've been listening. Other than personal contact with our sales and applications engineers, the Worldwide Web, through our site and our links with other sites, has become one of the most important ways of providing you with information—and hearing your feedback—truly another form of "Analog Dialogue".
We are in the midst of an immense work-in-progress to improve the user-friendliness, helpfulness, and intuitive nature of using the Web site throughout your design process—not just for product selection, but for support and procurement. Our objectives are: (1) continually earning your loyalty as a customer, (2) attracting more of your colleagues in the industry, and (3) achieving an interesting site with consistent, rapid, and complete content posting—one that you will want to visit frequently.
A few specific things we are seeking to improve are (1) speeding your ability to search the site and to use our search engines for comparative product selection; (2) increasing your ability to more easily become informed about "what's new" to the depth you need; (3) making easily available the information you need for making replacements, whether it be of competitive products you've been considering, or substitutions for obsolete ADI products; (4) speeding up the means of getting literature and samples to you; (5) making it easier for you to acquire catalog information; (6) increasing the ways to better interact with you in terms of improving feedback channels, answering applications questions, and making the features of our site that you regularly visit more readily accessible to you personally.
"Rome wasn't built in a day," but we think you will see visible signs of progress as the days go by in 1998. As always, your feedback is not only welcome—it's an essential part of the site's design.

Grand Rapids Schools officials have a meeting planned with the parent of a seventh-grader concerned the content of a history textbook may reflect poorly on black children.
Kenneth Muhammad told WOOD-TV he's uneasy about a portion of Chapter 2 in his son's textbook, "History Alive! The Ancient World."
"This is a welcomed dialogue," school spokesman John Helmholdt said Wednesday evening. "Let's analyze it for what it is and let's look at the concerns."
The chapter discusses the evolution of man and includes an illustration that depicts the ancestors of unclothed black people looking like apes, with small brains, Muhammad told WOOD-TV.
Other illustrations in the chapter show a white person looking more intelligent and using tools, he said.
Helmholdt said the book in question was approved by a group of GRPS educators in 2007 who conducted a page-by-page multicultural review.
The book was first used by GRPS students during the 2008-09 school year.
According to Helmholdt, the district learned this week the same textbook is used in the classrooms of several other area schools, including East Grand Rapids, Caledonia and Kentwood.
District leaders learned of Muhammad's concerns last week and have spoken with him on the phone. A meeting with him is planned for next week to discuss the textbook further.
The district's board will receive a full report of the textbook review in 2007 and an update on the concerns being raised, Helmholdt said.

Standing Idly By
Two stories of waiting.
Does this ever happen to you? You read a story, and it just sticks with you. Over the past 2 weeks, I felt like I was repeatedly playing that Portlandian game "did you read…?" with the following:
Story 1: 'Babies-in-waiting'
First up is a brutally honest essay from the Wall Street Journal by a woman who flipped the script on societal / self-inflicted pressures to settle down and opted to cryopreserve her eggs in her late-30s.
I decided to freeze on the afternoon of my 36th birthday, when I did a fresh round of baby math on the back of a business card at Starbucks. Even if the man I was dating at the time agreed to start a family in the near future, I was cutting it close to have one baby, let alone a second.
Amid all the talk about women "leaning in" and "having it all," the conversation has left out perhaps the most powerful gender equalizer of all—the ability to control when we have children.
Sarah Richards' depiction is filled with the metropolitan commentary that you'd expect from a New Yorker, but it is a compelling account of the hard choices and ultimate liberation from the heavy chains of gender and evolution.
Thanks to "vitrification" – a relatively new advance in ooctye preservation – pregnancy success rates with frozen eggs have significantly improved over the past decade to ~50% overall.
This ultra-rapid cooling technique hardens the oocytes into a glass-like state without forming ice crystals. (Water can damage the eggs when they are thawed). Recent developments in cryopreservation are summarized in the 2012 guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine [link: PDF].
So is egg freezing a gender equalizer? It does reduce the likelihood of miscarriages and genetic defects in post-35-yr-old pregnancy, but it only expands the window of opportunity by approx. 5 years. Success rates with in vitro fertilization drop considerably from 27.7% in women aged 35-37 to 5% for women aged 40-42 (5%), according to data from UK's NHS.
Also the physical toll of childbirth is tremendous, or as a friend wrote after I posted this WSJ piece to Facebook:
Having had my babies in my mid-twenties, I can say that it was really hard on my body. It would be challenging for me to do that in twenty years. Totally support whatever women choose to do, and the toll on an aging body should be considered.
I'd love to hear more readers' opinions in the comments section.
Story 2: Waiting for Help.
Recently, stories of waiting for others to act or the infamous 'bystander effect' have nabbed my attention. This tenet of psychology maintains that a person is less likely to help a stranger in distress if there are others around to help.
This topic re-entered my mindscape last Wednesday, after I read a new study from Austria that challenges our penchant for looking the other way when it's convenient.
It reports that the bystander effect breaks down when more than one help-giver is needed to solve a problem.
From the study:
"According to Latane and Darley (1970), three psychological processes – audience inhibition, social influence, and diffusion of responsibility – underlie the bystander effect. Bystanders may fear that their helping behaviour can be evaluated negatively by others (audience inhibition). They monitor the behaviour of other bystanders and interpret their inaction as proof that no help is needed (social influence). Finally, when in the presence of other bystanders the responsibility for intervention (and the blame for not taking action) is shared (diffusion of responsibility)."
In the first of three experiments, 47 psychology students replied to an emailed online survey.
"Some students were led to believe that they received the email alone, whereas some learned that others also received the request. Moreover, some students were led to believe that the survey needed to be completed by only one individual, whereas others learned that many responses were needed."
Despite their small sample size, they found the bystander effect does not occur when many responses are required.
"When one response was sufficient, the typical bystander effect occurred in that 6.9% of those who received the request with no others completed the survey, whereas only 2.7% of those who received the request with many others did so."
"When many responses were needed, the bystander effect did not occur (if anything, it reversed): 7.2% of those who received the request with no others completed the survey and 12.9% of those who received the request with many others did so."
So when teamwork is demanded, we are compelled to act? It's a thought-provoking conclusion, rife with optimism. It would be fascinating to see a similar study conducted in a real-life situation that incorporates audience inhibition and social influence:
When others are giving money to a homeless man on the subway, are you more likely to give?
If I need help moving apartments, should I ask one friend or several? Should I ask them all at once?
I was pondering these ideas, when the bystander effect popped up again, two days later, after an assignment about how business situations erode morality landed on my desk at Medical Daily.
"The Bangladesh factory collapse has garnered international cries over the negligence of business leaders and assertions of indifference by Western consumers. Everyone is quick to claim the moral high ground, as the death toll has quickly crept past 1,000, but does the average person really care if someone else is harmed by commerce?"
"No" is the apparent answer from a new study in Science claiming that markets erode morality, even when the consequences are life-threatening for a third party."
When individual students were asked to choose between 10 euros or to sacrifice the life of a mouse, 46% took the money (yikes!). In the second scenario, students were paired and assumed the roles of buyers and sellers. They were given 20 euros, and the sellers had to convince the buyers to agree on a "price" or a way to split the money. If the sellers succeeded, a mouse was killed, but if they refrained from negotiations, the mouse lived.
In this case, 72% - 76% of sellers sacrificed mice, even though they often traded for prices under 10 euros.
Aside for the dead mice, this is an intriguing way to investigate age-old questions about allowing us to displace guilt under the guise of business. Are we all prone to being swayed by monetary gain and greed?
The Bangladesh disaster has revived debates about working conditions in developing countries, and most of the blame is heaped upon the clothing companies who run the factories, rather than the consumers who buy from them. How long before the outrage fades and we return to standing idly by?

Man Hacked to Death by Suspected Maoists
By Express News Service - KORAPUT
Published: 14th January 2014 11:15 AM
Last Updated: 14th January 2014 11:15 AM
A 50-year-old man was hacked to death by suspected Maoists in Odiya Penth village, 15 km from Narayanpatna police station limits, on Sunday night. Kamulu Maniaka (50), a farmer, was sleeping when four to five Maoists entered his house late in the night and attacked him. On Monday morning, his wife Palai Maniaka saw the body with multiple injuries and raised an alarm besides informing the police.
Narayanpatna police and Special Operation Group members rushed to the spot and sent the body for post-mortem.
However, Narayanpatna police clarified that the murder was not linked to Maoists as circumstantial evidences did not point to their involvement. No poster or banner was left at the spot claiming murder by Maoists as has been the case in the recent Maoist-related murders.
Koraput SP Avinash Kumar said normally the Maoists do not kill anybody in his house. They preferred to punish them in open field. They used to kill the people by slitting their throats or by guns, he added.
"Though the cause of the murder was yet to be established, investigation was on and it will reveal if there is any Maoist link to the incident," the SP added.
According to police sources, since Maniaka's son works with the Maoists, there is least chance that the ultras might have killed him. Moreover, Maniaka was a common villager who did not have any link with either police or Maoists, they further said.
The murder, however, triggered panic in Narayanpatna and Bandhugam areas as it was for the sixth time that such gruesome murder was committed in the past seven days.
Earlier, a liquor trader was attacked in Balipeta, two were killed in Begam village and one was murdered in Jaguguda village by the Maoists.

It's the perfect recipe for a spending debacle. Ohio's $8 billion worth of austerity measures over the last nine months has contributed to a $350 million budget surplus. That is expected to grow to about $500 million by June 30, the end of the fiscal year.
June 30 is 129 days before the November General Election. That's just enough time for legislators in hotly contested races to purchase $500 million worth of votes.
And thus, the Republican-controlled state government is prepared to repeat the mistake that former Gov. Ted Strickland and his fellow Democrats made that required $8 billion worth of austerity measures in the first place.
While local legislators Capri Cafaro, Tom Letson, Sean O'Brien, Ron Gerberry and Bob Hagan are anxious to spend, spend, spend, one saving grace for the Mahoning Valley is that a lot of the spending could occur here. That's because Letson's race against Republican challenger Randy Law could go down to the wire.
Last year, Ohio passed a budget that projected a $152.7 million year-end balance. As of the end of March, collections were $265.4 million ahead of projections. Personal income taxes, robust sales taxes (especially automobile sales) and cigarette tax collections are the main reasons. Also, spending is below expectations.
Ohio Democrats proposed a $500 million spending spree to restore cuts to local governments and schools. Local representatives Letson, O'Brien, Gerberry and Hagan are behind the ''Kids and communities First Fund,'' that includes spending money from an oil and natural gas industry tax that isn't even on the books. Republicans rejected the spending proposal.
Instead of spending it, the legislature could send about $45 to every man, woman and child in Ohio. That's about $180 for a family of four. Couple that with an income tax cut that matches increased revenue for an oil and natural gas industry tax proposed by Gov. Kasich and Ohio families can suddenly receive a nice piece of change.
However, Republican legislators don't want to hear it. They balked at the tax on the oil and natural gas industry; they approved a $30 million spending package in the House for the Ohio nursing home industry; and also in the House they approved changing an Ohio law that requires the budget surplus to go into a rainy day fund. Under the House proposal, the governor would need legislative approval to bank the surplus in a rainy day fund.
Even State Rep. Ron Amstutz, R-Wooster, chairman of the House Finance and Appropriations Committee, said lawmakers should take a more balanced approach that could include helping struggling schools, cities and other local governments.
But here's a key question: If the legislature restores local government and school funding because of the budget surplus, will communities repeal taxes that were increased because of the local funding and school budget cuts? If not, taxpayers will be paying the additional local taxes while the state funding it replaced gets restored leaving townships, municipalities, counties and school districts with more to spend.
Legislators should heed the warning from Ohio Budget Director Tom Keen, who pointed out that payroll taxes are still weak. ''If there is more money at the end of the year, it would be one-time money,'' Keen said. ''There's no guarantee these resources will recur. If we begin to spend one-time money, we'll be in the same situation we faced in 2011 when we used significant one-time money for ongoing programs ... ''
Kasich should not hesitate to veto any spending increases, even those approved by his own party, and the governor should continue to push for tax relief.

Here are 10 club legends who have gone on to manage their team. (Sorry Tim Sherwood, you don't make the cut on this one...)

I got my hands on .76 today, not much different than .75, but still video-worthy!
UPDATE: This was an issue caused by incorrect voltage due to the use of a non-official charger. A battery pull corrected it. My coveted BlackBerry Storm's touch screen just started malfunctioning.

Frankly, I'm suprised this made it into a release version of software. I will be uploading more videos of the phone as I can organize them into short topics.
