Kenny Chesney leads Academy of Country Music Awards nominations with 9; Jason Aldean next at 6
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kenny Chesney's steamy duet, "You and Tequila" with Grace Potter, continues to radiate heat.
The song helped Chesney to nine Academy of Country Music Awards nominations Thursday morning, including the top honour of entertainer of the year.
In a phone interview from Key West, where he was about to step on his boat for a few days of fishing and fun, Chesney called the success of "You and Tequila," written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, one of the highlights of his career.
"That song's been around for a while," Chesney said. "To me it just goes to show you a great song just has to some extent an infinite life and good songs never go out of style, and this one surely hasn't, thank God."
Jason Aldean, next with six nominations, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton and 2011 winner Taylor Swift round out the fan-voted entertainer of the year category.
Lady Antebellum had five nominations, Paisley had four and several were deadlocked at three, including Swift.
Nominees were announced via social media with the help of stars like Reba McEntire and Lionel Richie. Fans were chosen to announce the entertainer of the year candidates. They'll have a chance to pick the winner in that category and new artist of the year for the 47th annual ACM Awards, which will air live April 1 from Las Vegas on CBS with McEntire and Shelton hosting.
Chesney is a four-time entertainer of the year winner and was the first victor under the academy's current fan-voted format. He's nominated for a 10th time in the male vocalist category and received double nominations as artist and producer for album of the year for "Hemingway's Whiskey" and single record of the year and vocal event of the year for "You and Tequila." He also receives a song of the year nomination as performer on "You and Tequila."
Potter, best known as an indie rock performer with her band The Nocturnals, received three nominations for the collaboration.
The nominations were in some sense a validation of Chesney's choice to take a year off the road in 2010. He used that time to focus on the music of "Hemingway's Whiskey," work on film projects, re-energize and even to give the fans a little break.
He returned to the road last year and again broke the million-mark in attendance.
"I feel like I did the right thing," Chesney said. "I know that this past summer was one of the most intense summers in a lot of great summers that we've had. The connection with the fans felt stronger than ever and I felt like the music we made because we took the year off was equally as strong. And the fact that the cycle's starting where people are recognizing that makes me excited and makes me feel great."
Aldean also is up for male vocalist, album of the year for "My Kinda Party," single record and vocal event of the year for the duet "Don't You Wanna Stay" with Kelly Clarkson, and video of the year for "Tattoos on This Town."
Lady Antebellum will compete for its third straight vocal group of the year win. The trio of Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley also is up for album of the year for "Own the Night" as artist and producer, and both song and video of the year for "Just a Kiss."
Along with his fifth straight entertainer nomination, Paisley will be going for another win in the male vocalist category. He's won it five times in a row. He also scored a double nomination in the vocal event category for "Old Alabama" with Alabama and "Remind Me" with Carrie Underwood.
Eric Church's "CHIEF" and Miranda Lambert's "Four the Record" round out the album of the year category. Lady A won last year for its breakthrough "Need You Now."
Nominees for the new artist of the year will be announced after the close of online voting Jan. 30. Fans are currently picking the nominees in that category from a list of eight semifinalists.
Fans can begin voting at the ACM website for entertainer and new artist nominees on March 19. The other award winners are picked by the academy's membership.
It's Shelton's first nomination for the academy's top award. The news comes the week after Shelton's father, Dick, passed away.
"The support I have felt this week is overwhelming," Shelton said in a statement. "Thank you everyone for this honour."
"The Voice" coach isn't the only rising star reaching new heights at the ACMs. Chris Young took a large step into the spotlight, earning nominations in the male vocalist and single record of the year categories.
He said during a call from his stop in Baltimore on the Miranda Lambert tour that 2011 was a whirlwind of highlights. He was recently talking with friends about all the great things that happened, from the success of his album, his tour with Aldean to the response to his nominated song "Tomorrow."
"We were sitting there going, 'I don't know how you can top this,'" Young said. "And it looks just into January we've at least got a good shot at trying."

Ibis Centre Gare Du Midi
2-20 Rue d'Angleterre Brussels 1060
Antal værelser:225
Ibis Centre Gare Du Midi
This hotel is located, as the name indicates, at the Gare Midi, the Euro star terminal. It is a short taxi or metro ride to the centre of town.Whilst the bedrooms are equipped with the new Ibis concept, the size of the rooms are 24m squared and are similar to those of the Novotel in as much as they all have a double bed and a sofa bed. The only exception is that the bathrooms are shower only and the toilet is not separated from the bathroom. All rooms are in very good condition.
This is a typical Belgian cafe, hence its name "cafe Belge" and serves traditional Belgian light snacks throughout the day as well as many types of Belgian beer. It is located on the ground floor and has a wooden floor and is quite dark and atmospheric.
Although the buildings in this area are all still very traditional, this is a brand new and modern building which stands out from its surroundings.
The lobby is medium in size and modern and incorporates the bar/brasserie which is very popular with both the locals and hotel guests. It serves traditional Belgian fare.
The newest three star property in Brussels and with a very good location for Euro star passengers, this is ideal for both groups and fits on a budget. (040406NN)

Former Gov. John Gilligan, a Cincinnati Democrat best known for winning the creation of the state income tax, died at 92 yesterday. Gilligan's most lasting accomplishment was also what doomed his career; the state income tax was unpopular when it passed, even though it allowed Gilligan to boost funding for education, mental health and law enforcement programs. Gilligan's political career began in Cincinnati Council. From there, he rose to U.S. representative and then governor.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio yesterday asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to shut down a facial recognition program
used by law enforcement until state officials verify and develop safety
protocols that protect Ohioans' rights to privacy. DeWine formally
unveiled the program in a press conference yesterday. It allows police
officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for
names and contact information. Previously, law enforcement officials
needed a name or address to search such databases. The program has been
live for more than two months and so far used for 2,677 searches, but until now it was kept hidden from the public and hasn't
been checked by outside groups for proper safety protocols.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters stepped down as Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter's attorney and called her handling of the court a "judicial circus." Hunter has been mired in controversy ever since she took the bench: She was found in contempt by a higher court, and she's been sued multiple times by media, including four times by The Cincinnati Enquirer. Deters, who under state law had to legally represent Hunter, said the legal troubles were too much, but his stepping down also complies with Hunter's wishes to find her own hand-picked attorney.
The University of Cincinnati is one of the top colleges where students can get the most out of their money, according to PolicyMic. UC performs better than average in the graduation rate, debt at time of graduation, percentage of undergraduate students receiving Pell grants and starting salary after graduation, yet the school manages to stay only slightly above the national average for tuition and board and room costs.
Mayor Mark Mallory previously approved eliminating city parking requirements, which should allow residential development projects to greatly reduce or completely toss out parking space mandates downtown. "The goal of the ordinance is to encourage development in the urban core by permitting developers to determine their own parking needs for downtown developments," said Councilwoman Yvette Simpson. "I firmly believe that the market will work to meet parking demands better than government minimum parking requirements."
The tax changes passed in the state budget earlier this year, including an income tax cut and sales tax hike, will go into effect on Sept. 1. The changes have been criticized for favoring the wealthiest Ohioans, as CityBeat covered in further detail here.
Gov. John Kasich approved tax credits that are expected to create more than 591 jobs statewide, with at least 40 of the jobs being created at the Benjamin Steel Company in Cincinnati.
Nearly one in five workers at Ohio casinos has quit or been fired. High turnover isn't unusual in the casino business, but the numbers give a clearer glimpse at the volatility.
Piloting a military drone can apparently take quite the psychological toll.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio on Monday asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to shut down a facial recognition program used by law enforcement until state officials verify and develop safety protocols that protect Ohioans' rights to privacy.
DeWine formally announced the program's existence in a press conference Monday. It allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information. Previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases.
The program has been live for more than two months and so far used for 2,677 searches. In that time span, the program was kept hidden from the public and hasn't been checked by outside groups for proper safety protocols.
The attorney general's office is just now putting together an independent panel of judges, public defenders, chiefs of police, sheriffs and other public safety officials to look at the program and gauge whether currently standing protections are adequate.
"The time for press conferences and advisory boards was months ago," said Gary Daniels, associate director of ACLU of Ohio, in a statement. "This system needs to be shut down until there are meaningful, documented rules in place to keep this information secure, protect the privacy of innocent people and prevent government abuse of this new tool."
Shortly after unveiling the program at a press conference, DeWine acknowledged it should have been revealed to the public earlier: "In hindsight, if I had to over again, we would have put out a release the day that it went up or before that."
Still, DeWine defended the program's ability to connect law enforcement with criminal suspects.
"Historically for, I don't know, decades, law enforcement has had the ability to pull up the (Bureau of Motor Vehicles) information," DeWine said, before noting that similar facial recognition programs have been adapted by federal officials and 28 other states.
DeWine also explained that he thinks the current protections for the program are good enough, but he said it's prudent to have an independent group verify the standards.
Misusing the program qualifies as a fifth-degree felony, which carries a prison sentence of six months to one year.
David Pepper, who's running for attorney general in 2014
against DeWine, criticized the current attorney general for how the program has been handled.
"It is highly irresponsible for the Attorney General of Ohio to launch something this expansive and this intrusive into the lives of law-abiding citizens without ensuring the proper protocols were already in place to protect our privacy," Pepper said in a statement. "To have kept this a secret for this long only makes it worse."
DeWine said the independent group will be given 60 days to come up with recommendations. His office intends to announce who will serve on the group in the next few days.
With the backing of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, law enforcement around the state have been secretly using facial recognition software for the past two months that scans driver's licenses and mug shots to identify crime suspects. In emails and documents obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer, DeWine and other state officials apparently couldn't agree whether the program is in beta testing or full launch and when they should tell the public about it. The program went live without the attorney general's initial approval and many protocols that protect Ohioans' security and privacy, raising concerns about whether law enforcement have been able to abuse the new tool.
The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority on Friday acknowledged it will ramp up enforcement and tickets once it takes over Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages, but it claimed the move is meant to encourage people to pay up, not raise revenue that will make the parking lease more profitable for the Port or the private operators it's hiring. The Port also said it had taken steps to make the parking lease a better deal for locals, including a reduction in operation hours in neighborhoods and some downtown areas. The city is leasing its parking assets to the Port for a one-time injection of revenue and annual installments that are supposed to go to development projects that will grow the city's tax base. But opponents of the lease say it will take away too much control of the city's parking services and hurt businesses and residents by raising parking rates and hours.
Vacant buildings at the corner of Henry and Race streets will be demolished today to make room for a maintenance facility for Cincinnati's streetcars — just the latest sign the project is moving forward. Mayor Mark Mallory, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and John Deatrick, streetcar project executive director, will attend the demolition and a press event preceding it, which will take place at 1 p.m.
A new video from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) shows how bad traffic will get if the Brent Spence Bridge isn't replaced. In the video, OKI claims the current state of the bridge is dangerous and damages the economy. The bridge project is currently estimated at $2.5 billion. At least part of that sum will be paid with tolling if state officials get their way.
Qualls and Cincinnati Public Schools Superintendent Mary Ronan will today discuss a district-wide travel plan that intends to provide safe routes for students walking and biking to school. The plan, which would use Ohio Department of Transportation funds, makes improvements to crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals, among other changes. Qualls' office says the plan is timely as CPS today begins its first week back to school.
Cuts in all levels of government, which Republican state officials call "right-sizing," might be hindering Ohio's economic recovery. Only California, New York and Florida have cut more public jobs than Ohio. At the same time, Ohio's job growth over the past year has stagnated at 0.7 percent. The state has cut local government funding by half since Kasich took office, as CityBeat covered in further detail here.

NASA put up a video explaining how it would land on an asteroid.
The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority today acknowledged that it will increase enforcement when it takes over Cincinnati's parking meters, but the agency says its goal is to encourage people to pay up, not raise revenues that will make the parking lease more profitable for the Port Authority and the private operators it's hiring.
In a much-awaited presentation, the quasi-public development agency rolled out board members and statistics to explain why the city should lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Port, which will hire various private companies to operate the assets.
Much of the controversy surrounding the lease has focused on enforcement, which critics argue will be ratcheted up under the deal. Port officials clarified that the deal will involve more enforcement officers and more aggressive tactics, but Laura Brunner, CEO of the Port, claimed there will be limits. For example, parking meters won't have built-in connectivity that allows officers to immediately detect when a meter is going unpaid, which means enforcers will have to make regular rounds and checks, just as they do today, before issuing a ticket.
Lynn Marmer, a Port board member and vice chairwoman of Kroger, said increased enforcement is necessary because most people currently don't pay for the parking services they use. She blamed that on the city's dwindling enforcement for parking violations: The city handed out 65,000 tickets in 2012, down from 104,000 in 2008.
"I think it's unlikely we all got better at following the rules and paying fines," Marmer said.
The Port doesn't expect enforcement to reach the levels of 2008 any time soon, but Brunner and others said that tickets will gradually rise once the Port Authority hands the parking meters over to private operators.
One of those private operators is Xerox, which will manage Cincinnati's parking meters under the deal. The Port says it plans to establish a 10-year contract with Xerox, but the contracts will be reviewed quarterly to ensure the company is doing a good job. If not, the contract can be terminated.
Port officials stated that Xerox will not get revenue based on stringent enforcement. Instead, the Port will regularly review Xerox based on a series of measurements that attempt to gauge how efficiently the company is running the city's parking meters.
Port officials also reemphasized that parking meter enforcement hours in neighborhoods — meaning outside of downtown and Over-the-Rhine — will only last until 6 p.m., instead of 9 p.m. as originally called for in the plan. Downtown and Over-the-Rhine meters will still be extended to 9 p.m., although some areas on the edges of downtown, such as Broadway Street, are exempt and enforcement will only run through 6 p.m. in those places.
The change for neighborhood meter hours will presumably lower how much Cincinnati gets from leasing its parking assets to the Port, but officials weren't ready to unveil exactly how much money the city will get. Previous city estimates put the lump sum at $92 million and annual installments at a minimum of $3 million, but that was before the Port's changes.
Prepared statements show if the final lump sum falls under $85 million, the city manager will need to approve the changes before the Port can move forward with the deal.
The decrease in hours also comes with a caveat: It will be possible for the city manager, Port and an independent board appointed by the Port and city manager to expand parking meter hours in the future. But such a change would require approval from all three governing bodies.
Ex-Councilman John Cranley, who's running for mayor and opposes the parking lease, says the Port's presentation did nothing to address his concerns. Claiming that "the devil's in the details," Cranley pointed out that the Port still hasn't released the actual contracts or bond documents.
Brunner said the documents should be released within a month, and the Port plans to give the public two weeks to review the details between the documents' release and the Port's final vote.
Cranley argued that might not be enough time. He told CityBeat that the city "almost gave away" free Sunday and holiday parking under its original lease agreement. Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld's office had to catch the error and refer it to the city administration before it was corrected.
The Port's presentation was meant to wrap up the agency's due diligence of the parking lease as it approaches a Sept. 4 deadline. Going into the presentation, Marmer explained, "Frankly, we were more skeptical (of the parking lease) than neutral."
Emails previously acquired by CityBeat back Marmer's skepticism. Writing to other Port officials in June, Marmer expressed concerns that the parking lease has been poorly handled and will snare the Port with controversy. "This whole parking issue has been a gigantic distraction from our core mission," she claimed.
Supporters of the parking lease argue it's necessary to leverage Cincinnati's parking assets to pay for development projects that will grow the city's tax base. Opponents argue it will take too much control out of the city's hands, cause parking rates and enforcement to skyrocket and hurt businesses and residents.
The parking lease has been engulfed in political controversy ever since it was announced in October. Most recently, the city administration was criticized for failing to disclose an independent consultant's memo that found the city was getting a bad deal from the lease. City officials argue the memo was outdated, so they didn't feel the need to release its details.
With its due diligence nearly finished, the Port will now finalize contracts, update the financial model for the lease and vote on the bonds and contracts that will complete the deal. If all goes as planned, the Port's new system will be in place by April next year.
This story was updated to clarify some wording and what parking meters will be enforced until 9 p.m.
National conservative groups have brought their concerted effort to weaken state energy standards to Ohio. State Sen. Bill Seitz, who's on the board of directors of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), says he will introduce a bill within two weeks that would cap how much utilities can spend on energy efficiency programs and eliminate requirements for in-state wind and solar power. ALEC and the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank backed in part by oil companies and global-warming deniers, have teamed up to undo energy standards in different states, but so far the groups' efforts have failed. Seitz's proposal would weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law, which environmentalists and other green energy advocates say have revitalized wind, solar and other renewable projects around the state.
Cincinnati Public Schools got six F's, one D and two C's in the 2012-2013 school report card released yesterday by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). The scores come with a big caveat: The school district is still being investigated for scrubbing data, which could be favorably skewing results for CPS. This is the first year ODE is using its A-F grading system, which is much more stringent than the previous system — to the point that no school district earned straight A's this year, according to StateImpact Ohio.
Cincinnati for Pension Reform, the group behind the controversial pension amendment that will appear on the ballot this November, officially registered with the state. The group isn't disclosing how much money it's raised so far. The tea party-backed amendment would privatize the city's pension system, a pooled fund that's managed by an independent board, so future city employees — excluding cops and firefighters, who use a different system — contribute to and manage individual 401k-style accounts. City officials and unions say the amendment will raise costs for the city and hurt gains for employees. Tea party supporters say it's needed to deal with Cincinnati's rising pension costs. CityBeat covered the pension amendment and the national groups who may be helping fund its campaign in further detail here.
Ohio's oil and gas boom has apparently failed to create all the jobs state officials previously promised. "Total employment growth has been much less robust than sales activity in Ohio's shale country," claims the Ohio Utica Shale Gas Monitor, which is produced quarterly by the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. CityBeat covered Ohio's oil and gas boom in further detail here.
A company that received a tax credit through JobsOhio two years ago is moving some executives and operations from Ohio to Chicago. Rittal Corp. has not received the tax credit yet, but it intends to uphold its tax agreement through other operations. JobsOhio is a privatized development agency established by Gov. John Kasich and Republican legislators to replace the Ohio Department of Development. Kasich and allies argue its privatized, secretive nature allow it to more quickly establish job-creating development deals, but Democratic opponents argue the agency is too difficult to hold accountable.
CityBeat commentary on JobsOhio: "Gov. Kasich's Bias Toward Secrecy."
Ohio has received more than $383 million as part of the national mortgage settlement, which has helped more than 10,000 Ohioans, according to the state attorney general's office. The payout, which is paid by banks as part of a settlement reached with states and the federal government, is meant to provide some relief to Americans who were impacted by the housing and economic crisis of 2008.
Enrollment at Ohio colleges, including the University of Cincinnati, is continuing its steady rise.

Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) got six F's, one D and two C's in the 2012-2013 school report card released today by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE).
The school district got an F for state test results, closing gaps related to income, race, culture and disabilities, progress among gifted students, progress among students with disabilities and both categories for graduation rates, which measure how many students graduated within four or five years.
CPS also got a D for progress among students who started out in the bottom fifth for achievement, and it got a C for progress among all student groups and how many students passed state tests.
The grades come with a big caveat: CPS is still being investigated for scrubbing data, which could be favorably skewing the school district's results.
This is the first year ODE is using the new A-F grading system, which is more stringent than how schools were previously scored. No school district earned straight A's this year, according to StateImpact Ohio.
Because the system is new, some of the categories that schools are graded on are missing and will be added in the next few years. Specifically, the report card won't measure overall results for the district, test scores, gap closing, K-3 literacy, progress, graduation rates and preparation for college and careers until 2015.
Under the old system, CPS dropped from "effective," which made it the best-rated urban school district in Ohio for the 2010-2011 school year, to "continuous improvement" for 2011-2012. Those results are also under review based on data-scrubbing investigations.
CPS has recently gained national recognition in The Huffington Post and The New York Times for its community learning centers, which turn schools into hubs that can be used by locals for resources ranging from education to dental care.
In November 2012, Cincinnati voters approved a levy renewal for CPS in a 65-35 percent vote, which kept local property taxes roughly $253 higher on a $100,000 home.
The official website for the school report cards can be found here, but it's been having technical problems for most of the day.
State Sen. Bill Seitz says he's working on a bill that would cap how much utilities can spend on energy efficiency programs and eliminate requirements for in-state wind and solar power. But the proposal isn't completely unique to Ohio, which is just one of many states in which national conservative groups are working to weaken state energy standards.
Seitz, a Republican from Cincinnati, told Gongwer
that his bill will keep requirements for utilities to provide 25
percent of their electricity from alternative sources and reduce
customers' consumption by 22 percent by 2025.
But the other measures will likely weaken renewable energy and efficiency standards set by Ohio's Clean Energy Law in 2008.
The bill is presumably the result of Seitz's review of Ohio's energy rules, which the state senator announced earlier in the year.
FirstEnergy, an Akron-based utility company, says the review is necessary because the regulations impose too many costs. But there's another major group involved: the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Seitz is on the board of directors of ALEC,
a conservative group that's gone from state to state to push legislation
that typically favors corporate interests.
Some state officials, including Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder, reportedly attended ALEC's 40th annual meeting in Chicago Aug. 7-9.
Just a couple weeks after that meeting, Seitz announced he still intends to rework Ohio's energy standards.
ALEC previously teamed up with the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank that gets much of its funding from oil companies, to write the standard for legislation that pulls back state energy rules. Many of the effort's backers, particularly at the Heartland Institute, deny man-made global warming, even though scientists are 95 percent certain climate change is influenced by human actions.
ALEC's efforts have so far failed in every state in which legislation has been proposed, as shown in this map from ThinkProgress:
But Ohio may be the first state to buck that trend if Seitz insists on pushing his review.
A report from advocacy group Environment Ohio found the current energy standards, which require Ohio utility companies get 12.5 percent of their energy needs from renewable sources, have successfully spurred clean
energy projects all around the state, particularly in Cincinnati.
One local example: The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden in 2011 installed solar panels in its parking lot that will generate enough electricity to meet 20 percent of the zoo's electricity needs and reduce pollution associated with global warming by 1,775 tons annually, according to the report.
But the standards are written in a way that favors in-state sources, which was supposed to ensure that at least half of the renewable energy development spurred by the Clean Energy Law happened in Ohio. A June 2013 ruling from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals indicated that the in-state preference is an unconstitutional violation of the Commerce Clause.
Seitz will introduce his bill in the next two weeks.
As it celebrates its 40th anniversary, Metro, Greater Cincinnati's bus system, is moving forward with changes that seek to improve services that have dealt with funding shortfalls and cuts in the past few years. The biggest change is Metro*Plus, a new limited-stop weekday bus service that will be free through Aug. 23. Metro spokesperson Jill Dunne says Metro*Plus is a step toward bus rapid transit (BRT), an elaborate system that uses limited stops, traffic signal priority and bus-only lanes. Metro*Plus is mostly federally funded, and Metro says an expansion into BRT, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, would also be carried by federal grants. Besides Metro*Plus, Cincinnati's bus system is also adding and cutting some routes.
State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, says he will introduce legislation
capping how much utilities can spend on energy efficiency programs and
scrapping requirements for in-state solar and wind power — two major
moves that will weaken Ohio's Clean Energy Law. But Seitz says the
changes would keep mandates for utilities to provide one-fourth of their
electricity through alternative sources and reduce consumer consumption by 22
percent by 2025. Environmentalists have been critical of
Seitz's review ever since he announced it in response to pressure from
Akron-based FirstEnergy, which CityBeat covered in further detail here. (Correction: This paragraph previously said utilities are required to provide one-fourth of their electricity through renewable sources; the requirement actually applies to "alternative sources.")
Libertarian mayoral candidate Jim Berns yesterday declared his campaign dead and blamed local media, including CityBeat, for its demise. Berns said the media has done little to promote him over Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and ex-Councilman John Cranley, who have similar views on every major issue except the streetcar and parking plan, both of which Qualls supports and Cranley opposes. In response, Berns attached a picture of himself playing dead in front of a vehicle. The stunt was just the latest in the Libertarian's campaign, which has included Berns quitting the race for one day before deciding to stay in, the candidate giving away tomato plants while claiming they're marijuana and lots of free ice cream.
Commentary: "Gov. Kasich's Bias Toward Secrecy."
Cranley is airing a new advertisement attacking Qualls. The ad focuses largely on the streetcar and parking plan. As Chris Wetterich of The Business Courier points out, the ad "takes some factual liberties": Parking meters are being leased, not sold, to the quasi-public Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, and it's so far unclear how the money from the lease is going to be spent and if the resulting projects will really favor downtown over neighborhoods.
Hamilton County commissioners approved the next phase of The Banks, which could include another hotel if developers can't find office tenants to fill the currently planned space. The second phase of the project already includes a one-block complex with 305 apartments.
State officials are reporting a 467-percent increase in the amount of seized meth labs this year. "We're seeing a continuous spike," said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. "It is easier (for people to make the drug). We used to talk about 'meth houses,' or places people would make this. Well, today, you can make it in a pop bottle."
Ohio's school report cards will be released today, allowing anyone to go online and see what a school is rated on an A-F scale.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs yesterday announced more than $317,000 will be directed to Ohio to provide critical housing and clinical services for homeless veterans. The grants are part of the $75 million appropriated this year to support housing needs for homeless veterans.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld is launching a new initiative called #RunTheCity, which will allow citizens to run or walk alongside local officials in an event that's supposed to simultaneously encourage access and healthy living. The first event with City Solicitor John Curp, Cincinnati's top lawyer, will be tonight at 6 p.m. at Wulsin Triangle, corner of Observatory Avenue and Madison Road in Hyde Park.
Two Greater Cincinnati companies — U.S. Logistics and ODW Logistics & Transportation Services — made the Inc. 500 list for fastest-growing companies, and more than 50 others made the Inc. 5,000 list. Four landed on the Inc. 500 list last year and one got on the list in 2011.
Another good local economic indicator: Greater Cincinnati home sales jumped 30 percent in July.
Mouse skin cells were successfully transformed into eggs, sperm and babies, but a similar treatment for infertile humans is likely a few decades away.
Libertarian mayoral candidate Jim Berns today pronounced his campaign dead and claimed local media, including CityBeat, is to blame.
"From day one, the Cincinnati Print Media (especially the Enquirer) have thrown Libertarian candidate for mayor, Jim Berns, under the bus," Berns wrote in an email, listing Carl Weiser, Jane Prendergast, Ryan Hoffman and Ben Goldschmidt of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Howard Wilkinson of WVXU, German Lopez of CityBeat and Chris Wetterich of The Business Courier as the main culprits.
In the email, Berns complains that the two frontrunners in the mayoral race — Democrats Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley — have nearly identical records. Those candidates' biggest points of disagreement are the streetcar and parking plan, both of which Qualls supports and Cranley opposes.
The email claims the media should call Berns "courageous, innovative, a real choice" instead of a "perennial candidate."
Berns then attached this picture:
The latest stunt is just one of many that have been part of Berns' campaign.
On July 31, Berns declared he was quitting the mayoral race in protest of the city's primary system, which Berns says favors Qualls and Cranley. A day later, he changed his mind and said he's back in.
On June 4, Berns, who supports marijuana legalization, said he was going to hand out free marijuana plants at a campaign event. The gifts turned out to be tomato plants, not marijuana.
In general, the Libertarian's campaign has focused a lot on giving stuff away. His campaign card proudly touts his intent to give out free ice cream, which he has repeatedly done at events.
As a Libertarian, Berns supports lower taxes and smaller government and opposes drug prohibition. He was endorsed by the conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST).
Cincinnati is generally considered a Democratic stronghold, which has kept Berns' chances of winning the mayoral race very low. The city hasn't had a non-Democratic mayor since Charterite Arnold Bortz left office in 1984. Back then, the local Democratic Party and the Charter Committee were working together through a coalition.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld has resolved his petition problems and will appear on the ballot for reelection this November.
"The (Hamilton County Board of Elections) confirmed last night we have more than enough signatures to be placed on the ballot," Sittenfeld wrote in an email.
Sally Krisel, deputy director of the Board of Elections, says the board has so far verified more than 900 signatures out of the 1,500 Sittenfeld turned in. Council candidates need 500 to get on the ballot.
Sittenfeld was one of two candidates who faced petition problems last week. In his case, petitions were found to have crossed-out dates with corrections written on the back, which election officials said might disqualify hundreds of signatures. In response, Sittenfeld renewed his petition drive.
In a Facebook post this morning, Sittenfeld thanked a 93-year-old family friend, a former teacher, City Council candidates and other volunteers for helping with the effort.
Mike Moroski, who was told his original batch of petitions fell 46 signatures short, wrote on Twitter that he turned in more than 1,100 signatures this morning. In a statement, Moroski thanked his team and participants
for helping him collect the signatures, which the Board of Elections will now need to verify.
The deadline for turning in City Council petitions is Aug. 22. Once the Board of Elections finishes verifying the numbers, it will release the full slate of candidates.

The Locust and the Bee
posted by Frank Pasquale
Fables have been in the politico-economic air of late. The FT's Martin Wolf considered the locust part of a master metaphor for the future of the global economy. He concluded that "the financial crisis was the product of an unstable interaction between ants (excess savers), grasshoppers (excess borrowers) and locusts (the financial sector that intermediated between the two)."
Now Geoff Mulgan has entered the fray with the excellent book The Locust and the Bee: Predators and Creators in Capitalism's Future. As Mulgan observes,
If you want to make money, you can choose between two fundamentally different strategies. One is to create genuinely new value by bringing resources together in ways that serve people's wants and needs. The other is to seize value through predation, taking resources, money, or time from others, whether they like it or not.
The more one reads about failures and exploitation on the financial front, the more squarely the industry appears to be positioning itself as destructive (albeit dominant) caste atop the real economy. Brandeis's words ring as true in 2013 as they did a century ago: "though properly but middlemen, these bankers bestride as masters America's business world."
Commentaries on the finance sector from both ends of the political spectrum bring home the huge importance of Wolf's and Mulgan's work. Bruce Bartlett, an official in both the Reagan and Bush pere administrations, has discussed financialization as a "cause of economic malaise." Brad DeLong, a former Clinton Administration official, has "suggested that the world paid financial institutions roughly $800 billion every year for mergers and acquisitions that yielded about $170 billion of real economic value." Both of these experts on political economy compile shocking figures about the sheer economic waste that our burgeoning finance sector represents. As one of its leading members insisted last year, there is indeed a sharp divide between makers and takers in today's economy.

The practice of Law is filled with uses of analogies. Some are clear; others are stretches. It's often necessary in the practice of law, because a new situation may be somewhat different from established precedent, but somewhat similar.
But here? For what purpose?
I like your last two paragraphs. The points are made directly. But why did Wolf and Mulgan need bugs? Those analogies in the first paragraphs leave me cold.

Many here in the US, including some lawmakers, have alleged, without citing evidence, that Snowden is cooperating with Chinese authorities.
"There's a lot of reason for suspicion," Peter king, a power Republican House representative said in a TV interview, adding, Snowden, transferred money to China, studied Chinese and "he arranged to have the papers, or his documents, released on the same weekend that President Obama was meeting the president of China".
And the fact that Snowden is currently in Hong Kong. He has been in touch with a local daily South China Morning Post — claiming among other things he is not in hiding.

Choosing a SEL approach began with a careful consideration of what we most wanted and needed as a school community. The needs that emerged from staff and parent focus groups and from the needs assessment surveys were mostly captured in three overarching themes.
We need:
We also considered input from staff and parents that indicated a preference for approaches that focused on culture change rather than those that were stand-alone in nature.
Keeping these needs and preferences in mind, the Wellness Committee narrowed down the 80+ SEL approaches that have been reviewed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
The five approaches we considered all had a professional development component, all were focused on strategies to improve communication and culture, and all contained some means of teaching social and emotional skills to children.
From the final Wellness Committee vote, a clear favorite emerged: " Responsive Classroom is a widely used, research-backed approach to elementary education that increases academic achievement, decreases problem behaviors, improves social skills, and leads to more high-quality instruction."
To learn more about Responsive Classroom, please take a closer look at their website , read one of their overview summaries, and/or watch the videos below.
We are excited to kick-off what we have planned to be a measured and thoughtful implementation of several Responsive Classroom strategies next year with an all-staff reading of the book, The First Six Weeks of School this summer.
Next, during our August professional development, we will have follow-up discussions around this book while beginning a two-month, 16-hour staff training on the foundational strategy of Responsive Classroom, The Morning Meeting.
During the 2012-13 school year, we will have additional trainings on Responsive Classroom discipline strategies, as well as a training in communication skills. Books on all of these topics will be available for families to check out in the new Social and Emotional Lending Library (more information below).
If you have any questions about Responsive Classroom, our implementation and training process, or the SEL approach selection process, please contact Scott Conklin at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wilmer "Bill" Henry Peil can't remember everything he used to, but then again, he has a lot of memories to sort through. At age 91, Peil has been a mechanic, a serviceman in the U.S. Coast Guard, a farmer, a police officer on the city, county and state level, a beekeeper and a security guard.
Peil was 20 years old and had been working at Waukesha Motors in his home state of Wisconsin for five years when one day a man requested to see Peil at the gate. Peil was told he was needed in the Coast Guard, and he was being sent to training in Connecticut. It was 1942.
"All I could do was comply with the rule," Peil said. "He had a legal paper to serve on me, so I assume Uncle Sam needed me and I was willing to go."
Peil was sent to the Coast Guard training station in Groton, Conn, where he learned how to repair and maintain diesel engines in ships. He spent about six months training there, and then started working on ships.
"There was so many things that happened eventually," Peil said, as he started thinking about his three and a half years in the Coast Guard.
Peil served on ships that patrolled up and down the Atlantic Coast, from Cuba to as far north as Iceland. In order to conserve fuel, ships traveled north using the ocean current, and only needed power to travel south, Peil said. The ships were loaded down with 400 types of depth charges, and other weapons such as machine guns and launchers.
"We would patrol between Panama Canal and the United States, attempting to prevent the enemy from penetrating…" Peil said. "Technically, everything we did was to prevent the German submarines from penetrating the Panama Canal and Cuba, and some as far east as Key West."
Everything done on the ships had to be precise, Peil said, because there was no room for error in things like ventilation.
While the focus was on the Axis Powers, sometimes the ocean served as its own threat to U.S. vessels.
One day in Connecticut, Peil said, an aircraft carrier was trying to come into the harbor, but the wind was so high the carrier kept swinging around. The captain asked for help over a speaker, and Peil had to throw a line to the carrier deck to steady it as it came into the harbor. Later, Peil said the captain came to find him, to see who it was that got them the rope that pulled the carrier into the harbor.
They were also called out to sea to escort ships carrying the wounded, or help ships that ran aground, Peil said. Sometimes the wind was so much they couldn't do anything to help the grounded ships.
Peil's claim to fame, and the incident that almost ended his Coast Guard career, was a mission to escort British royalty. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were seeking asylum in the Bahamas, and Peil's ship was assigned as an escort. The duke and duchess wanted to be taken ashore at a specific location on the island, Peil said, and the ships required fuel to get there against the current. As they were maneuvering, another escort ship struck Peil's ship, nearly cutting it in half. Peil was in the engine room at the time, and not only was it filling with water, but the greater danger was the fuel tanks threatening to explode.
"I was caught between the engines and getting out of there, so I couldn't escape," Peil said.

Martha Grimes worked out a good marketing tool for her crime fiction; an American writer, she set her novels in England, featuring an English detective, Richard Jury, and his rather eccentric, upper class friends. I would have stayed well clear on the whole Im not a fan of American authors writing about England when they know very little about it (at least Im not aware that Martha Grimes has spent any substantial amount of time in England), but Elizabeth George did it so well that I thought some of her experience may have rubbed off on Martha Grimes. Unfortunately, Grimes characters are just that little bit too like parodies for comfort. The story A ... Read the complete review

I am back from Devon and have been for awhile! I will add more photos at a different time. It's been a busy month or so with lots of different things going on. I had the chance to work at the Tower of London. I was so happy! It was an amazing night. I worked as part of the catering team. One of the photos below shows the pudding plate that I helped to put together. They ALL tasted lovely! I can also say that I have been locked in the Tower! The catering over ran and our car was not able to leave before the ceremony of the keys (which I watched - fantastic) so we were locked in and had to ask permission to leave and have the gates open specially.
We are also doing a project on Neptune, more photos to come. Also whilst we were doing an experiment about yeast and how it expands whilst it is warm etc. Ryver discovered that he can blow bubbles via his nose!! It was hysterical. He worked out not to breath through his mouth whilst doing it. I love homeschooling!! We do have lots of fun.
We also had an afternoon of Halloween crafts and experiments. I have another collage that I am going to put up. But I love this one.
Phew I have been busy! I have listed all these and some more cards on ETSY. Where I am selling them. There is a link on the right. My shop is called Greetingsfromme. I love taking photos and writing to people. I have collided my two passions to create these greetings cards.
Will sort out some photos and then catch up with all our news. Ryver and I go to a Martial Arts class now and it is fantastic. Circus Skills and Acrobats are other groups that Ryver is doing. Bonfire Night, Poppy Day, Neptune, Continents and Medieval times are our current projects.

Lawyer implicated in more bank robberies
A 64-year-old Wentzville man with a law degree from Washington University, who is already in jail for allegedly robbing a bank and shooting a state trooper, is now a suspect in up to six other bank robberies. Warren J. Gladders is charged with robbing the First Bank in Dutzow, Mo., on Friday, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that a search of his home after the robbery found evidence of the other crimes. That evidence was turned over to the FBI, which is leading the investigation. Gladders' attorney, Brad Kessler, declined comment, saying he had not yet had a chance to speak to his client.

A Jackson County grand jury agreed with the sheriff's office Tuesday as they indicted Shigh Davis, 19, on a robbery charge.
On Jan. 21, the Jackson County Sheriff's office responded to a robbery at a Human Bean store in the 3900 block of South Pacific Highway.
They began investigating and received tips from a CrimeStoppers story. That tip identified Davis as a possible suspect because he matched the description and lived near the coffee stand.
However, the sheriff's office was able to positively identified him as a suspect after after news reports of a theft and fight at Sportsman's Warehouse, according to a press release from the Jackson County Sheriff's office.
On Feb. 7, Medford police allege that Davis attempted to steal a pair of shoes from the store. Employees and bystanders tried to stop him. A fight ensued.
Police say they found a gun on Davis's person.
The Jackson County Sheriff's office added a robbery charge for the Human Bean incident on Monday. A grand jury handed down the indictment on Tuesday.
Davis is being held at the Jackson County jail.
