Last Tiger Air Attack: an act of desperation |
Monday, 23 February 2009 | |
Tamil Tigers struggle to keep up the fight after 25 years By Joe Leahy The ambulance driver grabbed a late-night cup of tea at a small stall across from the gate of Trincomalee General Hospital. At any moment, he was expecting to be called to the nearby navy dockyard in this eastern Sri Lankan city, where another boatload of about 500 wounded civilians was shortly to arrive from the island's bloody northern battlefields. "They've been badly smashed up," he said of patients who had previously come in from the Wanni region, where rebels from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam are fighting the Sri Lankan army. "The patients told me it was difficult to escape the LTTE. They said they were shot and chopped when they were trying to get away. Many are missing their limbs." The growing humanitarian crisis in the Wanni region is the climax of two years of fighting in which the Tigers have been pushed back into a tiny pocket of jungle after occupying territories that once stretched across Sri Lanka's north and east. Both sides trade accusations that the other is killing civilians. Banned as a terrorist group in the US and Europe, the Tigers have been reduced from a force once estimated at about 12,000 to as few as 600, according to the military. They are defending an 87sq km region containing, by military estimates, 65,000 civilians but according to humanitarian agencies up to 250,000. The Tigers' plight has prompted speculation that their 25-year war for a Tamil homeland in the north and east free of domination by the island's ethnic Sinhalese majority is nearing an end. Lakshman Hulugalle, Sri Lanka defence media centre director, says were it not for the presence of civilians, whom the government says the Tigers are using as a "human shield", it would be a matter of days before the rebels were overrun. But the Tigers on Friday night demonstrated once again why they cannot be written off, with a surprise kamikaze raid by their makeshift "airforce" on Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, far south of the battlefields. The three or four single-engine Czech-made Zlin-143 aircraft that comprise the Tigers' air wing have flown an estimated nine sorties since their debut in 2007 with no confirmed losses. But this time the military was ready for them. Spotted soon after they took off from a road in the Wanni region, they were shot down over Colombo. One crashed into a tax office and the other near the international airport. Yesterday, tax officials and workers were still picking through the debris of the Inland Revenue building as papers fluttered from the upper floors near a blackened hole where the aircraft hit the structure. The attack, which killed two and injured 53, narrowly missed a neighbouring five-star hotel. But while both sides claimed victory, analysts said the Tigers would never have squandered their treasured air wing unless they had no option. With the military closing in, it was a case of "use them or lose them". "There is a note of desperation and also a note of defiance here," said B. Raman, director at the Institute for Topical Studies, in Chennai, south India. This much was clear from a hand-written letter purportedly left by one of the pilots, "Col Rooban", and published on Tamilnet, a pro-rebel website, which urged Tamil civilians in Wanni to take up arms and compared their struggle to Hitler and the Jews. "I urge you to strengthen our leader's hands and join in this inevitable last battle against our enemy," it said. For the Tigers, defeat in the conventional conflict now increasingly seems likely. When it comes, if Vellupillai Prabhakaran, the LTTE's elusive leader, survives, the Tigers may yet remain dangerous given their record of suicide attacks. The kamikaze raid shows they are even capable of attempting their own September 11 2001, says former Indian army Colonel R. Hariharan, an expert on the LTTE. But Col Hariharan said it would be difficult for them to maintain their monopoly over the Tamil freedom struggle. Like the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, which has been supplanted by Hamas in the fight against Israel, the Tigers were likely to be gradually replaced by other groups. "Usually, these groups can sustain these movements for one generation only." Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2009 Courtesy; FT.COM |

The CompM4 and the CompM4-S are now the latest version of the US Army's M68 CCO (Close-Combat Optic), continuing a legacy that Aimpoint has maintained since 1997. The CompM4 is the finest sight that Aimpoint has ever produced. Improvements include improved energy efficiency that provides up to 8 years of continuous use from a single AA battery!
The CompM4 incorporates an integral mount that eliminates the need for a separate ring, and can be customized with vertical and forward spacers to fit a variety of weapon systems. The CompM4 can also be used by hunters and sport shooters that need night vision compatibility.
The CompM4 series of sights are available in two versions: The CompM4 offers a high battery compartment, while the CompM4s offers a low battery compartment. In all other aspects, the Aimpoint CompM4 and Aimpoint CompM4s are identical.
The performance of the CompM4 is optimized for use with all generations of night vision devices (NVDs), but is especially suited for 3rd generation night vision technology. Aimpoint's unique band-pass coating on the front lens reflects select frequencies of red light at near 100% efficiency in order to give the highest possible dot brightness with the smallest amount of energy while transmitting nearly 100% of light in the Infrared and near-infrared part of the spectrum to provide the clearest, brightest image possible when used with a 3rd generation NVD. With 7 NVD-compatible brightness settings and 9 Daylight settings including one extra-bright setting, the CompM4 is ready for use around the clock.

Diagnostic imaging could help to develop new treatments for patients who are suffering with heart valve disease.
New research from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Centre of Research Excellence at the University of Edinburgh has opened up the possibility of alternative methods of dealing with aortic valve stenosis.
State-of-the-art PET scans were used at the research institute to assess 121 people with the disease.
The study found that there may be biological indictors to the development of the disease and doctors could focus their treatments on preventing the hardening of the valve before aortic valve stenosis developed.
Currently, patients with the heart condition face no alternative other than to undergo a surgical procedure, as there are no drugs which have been proved to be effective.
The BHF states that heart valve disease causes the blood flow to be blocked as the valve does not fully open. It is thought that the illness affects around one in 20 people in the UK.

Bar Gitano
Online Reservations
My family (2 teens, 1 older, 2 adults) had dinner at Bar Gitano in December and LOVED it. The restaurant decor was interesting & eclectic & very eye-pleasing (I faced the wall!) We were seated promptly, and offered menus right away. We ordered a variety of tapas and the food kept coming! We loved the chorizo al jerez the best...also enjoyed the shrimp & noodles ajillo. The restaurant was very busy, but the server kept up with us and there was always someone bringing the food that we could ask if we needed more water. They had a live band playing Gypsy Kings music, (& a flamenco dancer) which was an unexpected surprise that made the evening complete for me! They were unbelievable. Bar Gitano was one of our 2 favorite restaurants in P.R.!
Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. The food was delectable - good sized tapas of ample variety and drinks were very good - tasty margaritas and sangria. The service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was good,not great, but the incredible entertainment made up for it. On Sundays the restaurant provides entertainment - flamenco music and dancing. What a show! The music was envigorating without distracting from the meal and the dancers were excellent. The first dancer entered from the back of the restaurant swaying her way to the front, incorporating two lit torches in her dance - Definitely exciting. The show brought the house down. Everyone was clapping and having a great time. I can't wait to go back.
Went on May 5 and the place was hooping when we got there, but they honored our reservation and seated us right away. Had a very enjoyable meal, even got to taste a few extra items that were served by mistake. Being a Sunday there was entertainment beginning at 9 and Flamenco dancer added at around 9:30.
Excellent tapas menu with unique items & combinations
Bar Gitano has a vibrant atmosphere and good tapas. Churros for dessert are a great option.
we were in town for a bachelorette and were all craving some fun and shareable cuisine. there were a couple foodies in the bunch and a vegetarian and everyone had plenty to choose from. our waiter suggested amazing bottles of wine that were right in our "not too expensive" price range and we each took turns ordering tapas and everyone of them was extremely tasty. we all recommended this restaurant to other guests we met at our resort - so if you are in the area definitely check it out. we were only disappointed when we found out the flamenco dancers were not scheduled for that night.
This place is great! My table was ready upon on arrival, the server was very attentive with wine and beer recommendations and the flamenco show was amazing! The bar scene was exactly what I was looking for. People in my age range, very good looking and fashionable. I even met a movie/TV star while I was there! It was an amazing night. Will definitely go back on my next visit to PR.
All I can say is Wow!!! Our waiter Ronnie was the best, all the food he recommended was right on! You must try the potatoes (patatas bravas) and the meat Paella, they were superb!!! I had the bread with tomato and Serrano ham and I also had the red wine sangria, just amazing . I had the date tart for dessert and I loved it. The atmosphere is really good. My party and I arrived around. 7:30 and its was quiet and intimate , then it started getting crowded , at 9 pm they have live flamenco music and dancers as well as a belly dancer, very fun!! We can't wait to go back!
Food, ambiance and wait staff were phenomenal. Patatas bravas are a must try!
The waiter Was very not friendly. The waitress was very kind.
Food was unique and good. Waiter offered some very good suggestions, but sadly dropped a glass of wine on us...accidents happen. Spanish wine selection is outstanding. Sometimes has live entertainment!

EXR, anyone?
by Rico Pfirstinger
Hello and Happy New Year!
While the topic of Friday's column appears to be set in stone by now (I have already uploaded several samples on "extended ISO settings" to my Flickr Photostream), I'd like to know about your interest in a different subject matter: EXR sensors. Plenty of Fujifilm cameras are using them, including three X-series models: X10, X-S1 and XF1.
To be clear: This is not about "EXR Auto" mode, which is basically kind of a "dummy mode" where the camera automatically decides which scene program to choose and what settings to establish, so the only thing the user has to do is press the shutter button. Nope, it's about EXR DR and EXR SN: how it works, what it means (practically!), how to use it, when to use it, and when not to use it. Plus, how does your EXR camera actually use EXR? Do you really know? Do you even care to know?
Having spent several years with at least five different EXR camera models, I may have gathered some knowledge and experience that could be instrumental in answering some of these questions. I had to do it all by means of "reverse engineering", as Fujifilm doesn't disclose any kind of useful technical information about the inner workings of the EXR camera logic. So the question is: Do you want to know (more) about EXR?
Kindly answer the poll below:
Rico Pfirstinger studied communications and has been working as journalist, publicist, and photographer since the mid-80s. He has written a number of books on topics as diverse as Adobe PageMaker and sled dogs, and produced a beautiful book of photographs titled Huskies in Action (german version). He has spent time working as the head of a department with the German Burda-Publishing Company and served as chief editor for a winter sports website. After eight years as a freelance film critic and entertainment writer in Los Angeles, Rico now lives in Germany and devotes his time to digital photography and compact camera systems. His book "Mastering the FUJIFILM X-Pro1" is available on Amazon.
I hope you haven.t forgotten . . .
Your writing is the best out there about the heart and soul of Fujifilm X-Pro1.
I also vote for EXR business and want more to learn.I, personally, focus to use other brand name lenses on my X-Pro1 with adapters for having interest in bokeh and macro images. Hoping soon the X100′s "Digital Split Image" features and "Focus Peak Highlight" function could be added in the next firmware?
Thank you so much for your dedication.
HNH Mandily
As I have just started setting up and learning my new XE-1 with zoom lens, I really appreciate Rico's tutes, and plan to buy his book too. Just what new users need and more important to me that the rumors.
Thats a nice explanation. I know the efforts behind such a website and appreciate it. My previous comment was quick and more superficial than the admin would have deserved. The site is great anyways. It's only that the change in presenting things slowed the klick-klick for rumors down. And I don't own a Fuji yet, so tutorials will be an issue for me later. Thanks!
agree MV
post this tutorials in a tutorial section
I want to check rumors without making a previous selection
Rico please keep up the good and share your experience and expertise with us. We all could benefit from more technique instead of continually acquiring newer gear and hoping new gear will result in better photos.
I do appreciate the great work as well.
I clicked over to the Amazon link for "Mastering the FUJIFILM X-Pro1″ though and read, in the description: "With the X-Pro 1, Fujifilm released the first mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor."
Wouldn't the NEX be the first mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor (if not previous fixed-lens models)?
GET OUT MV pfff!
Continu your excellent work Rico thx you
Harmonizing the opposite. I agree and disagree with both of you and would like to suggest "a solution".
A even stricter seperation between rumors, news, reviews and tutorial would be nice to have. I think this piecewise seperation was already tried with the upper tags or chapters. If more posts will come, and I hope this is the case, a thorough separation would help the reader to differentiate between the types of posts. But for now – small critics – all posts seem to be flung together. Although I read every post anyway. But for beginners or new readers, a better separation would be useful I guess. -
I respectfully disagree with MV. I've found Rico's posts to be quite valuable — an expert in both Fuji cameras and photography explaining real world methods for getting the most from our gear. Sure, it's not exactly "rumors," but the flow of rumors is pretty thin — a post every other day or so? — and the same people interested in rumors can benefit from Rico's posts. I hope they continue.
Guys – I come to this site to read rumors about upcoming fuji cameras, as its title suggests. You are doing a great job in that.
But recently I see posts about tutorials, votes on tutorials, etc. Every time I see there's a new post I head on over to your site and bam, it's not a rumor but a tutorial post. This is a real switch-off.
Please don't lose your focus. You were doing so well. Make another blog for the tutorial stuff if necessary. But keep fujirumors just that: Fuji Rumors.

St. Wolfpack fans will get the first look of the 1959-60 edition of the team tonight as the Pack takes on Florida State University at 8:15 p.m. in the Fieldhouse. Starting lineup for the Pack will be Jack Morris and Bob Balch at guard, Art Radvilas at center and Harry Morgan and Larry Trunk at forward. The Loyola freshmen will meet the Pensacola Naval Base at 6:30 p.m. in the night's opener. The Pack will be under the direction of head coach and athletic director Bill Gardiner, the fourth coach Loyola has had in as many seasons. Gardiner took the job vacated last spring by Hank Kuzma. Gardiner, before coming to Loyola, was head basketball coach and AD at Spring Hill in Mobile, Ala. Florida State, under the direction of coach Bud Kennedy, now in hi* 12th year with the Seminoles, is in the procen of rebuilding. The starting team consists of only one senior, six foot three Jim Savage, a guard. The remainder of the squad is made up of sophomores. Rufua Ashworth, 6'3", and Ray Swain, 6'4" are the forward*, while the center po*t i* held down by 6'6" Dave Fedor. Jack Davis, 5'11" plays guard opposite Savage. Last year Florida State compiled a 8-15 won-loss record. Loyola lost to the Seminoles 60-61 last year in Florida. Gardiner decided on his starting quint of Morris, Balch, Radvilas, Trunk and Morgan after serious deliberation. 'It was quite a problem to pick a starting team . . . some of the boys looked good at first and then slowed down after I thought they had cinched a starting berth," Gardiner said. "I'm going to alternate Morris and Larry Henneberger at one of the guard slots," Gardiner said. "Both are good floor men—not Alt-Americas by any mean*—but good enough to get the job done." Balch, according to Gardiner, won a place on the starting five because of his steadyness. "He is the same day in and day out . . . always giving his best. I think we'll be hearing a lot from him as the season progresses," Gardiner said. "I chose Radvilas over Jim Monahan after serious thought. Art has been looking as though he had slacked off in the past few weeks and Monahan has looked better and better . . . but for the season (See HOMECOMING, page 4) (See WOLVES, page 3)

Proving that even politics can occasionally be fun, Visa teamed up this week with North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan, State Treasure Janet Cowell and Business Forward to host a demonstration of Financial Football at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
With the help of Washington Redskin linebacker London Fletcher, local students and Convention delegates heard about the importance of promoting financial literacy and then got down to business, playing a spirited game of Financial Football.
A few kind-hearted souls asked me something to the effect of: "Why wade into the circus-like environment of a political convention to talk about financial literacy?"
The answer is straight-forward: We strongly believe that a component to a vibrant and growing economy is a well-informed, financially literate population. The government leaders gathered at the party conventions are, by virtue of the offices they hold, ideally positioned to advance the issue of financial literacy and help ensure that all teenagers leave high school with a foundational understanding of money management.
We tried to bring Financial Football to the Republican Convention last week in Tampa, but Hurricane Isaac interfered, causing us to postpone. We're looking at rescheduling with Governor Rick Scott later this fall.
For the uninitiated, Financial Football is our educational video game that helps players learn about personal finance. Instead of using thumbs to advance your team down the field, you answer personal finance questions. Give it a try

Western & Southern in a press release today announced an agreement with Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) that will sell the Anna Louise Inn in Lytle Park to W&S for $4 million, ending years of entanglements between the two entities over what should be done with the property in need of millions of dollars in renovations.
As part of the deal, ALI will move to a new location in Mount Auburn at the corner of Reading Road and Kinsey Avenue, in the same vicinity as the United Way of Greater Cincinnati and The Talbert House. The settlement also provides CUB time to construct the new Inn, so none of the current residents will be displaced. CUB will still retain its $13 million in funding to develop the new property.The Anna Louise Inn, which provides safe and affordable housing for low-income women, has called the Lytle Park location home since 1909. The new agreement will dissolve all ongoing litigation; most recently, W&S accused ALI of potentially discriminating against men.
In 2009, W&S passed up on an opportunity to purchase the Inn for $3 million, before CUB obtained city- and state-distributed federal funding to renovate the building and stay in the neighborhood, a decision Western & Southern admitted it regretted. Since then, the Fortune 500 company has been battling with the ALI in hopes of getting another chance to purchase the property.
According to the CUB website, the settlement came about for several reasons, including concern that ongoing litigation with W&S would have caused it to lose tax credits earned through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, which were due to expire at the end of 2013 and cannot be used during ongoing litigation.
Now W&S plans to renovate the building into an upscale new hotel, which will essentially give the company a monopoly on real estate in the Lytle Park neighborhood.
It's a bittersweet change for the women and staff at the Inn, explains CUB President and CEO Steve MacConnell, but "ultimately, it's the right decision," he says. MacConnell says CUB learned about the plot of land just three to four weeks ago, when they started seriously considering a move. "After two years of litigation, the women — and us — we were all feeling so much uncertainty," he says, "and ultimately what's best for the women is what we've always had in mind."
City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. defended the streetcar project at a special four-hour session of City Council yesterday, but the city manager did not reveal any specifics over how the project's $17.4 million budget gap could be closed. Dohoney revealed the price of halting the project would be $72 million: the project has already cost the city $19.7 million, the city would have to spend another $14.2 million in close-out costs and another $38.1 million in federal grants would have to be returned to the federal government. Most of Dohoney's presentation focused on the streetcar's economic benefits, but opponents say the budget gap proves the streetcar project is unsustainable and its costs are too high.
The Cincinnati Enquirer identified the 17-year-old honors student at LaSalle High School who tried to commit suicide
in front of a classroom of 22 other students yesterday, even though parents asked press to provide privacy. The student remains
alive and in critical condition this morning. No other students were physically hurt, and classes are

The city is moving to sell Tower Place Mall for $1 to Brook Lane Holdings, an affiliate of JDL Warm Construction, so the construction company can pour $5 million into the defunct mall and convert it into a garage with street-level retail space. Financing the project at Pogue's Garage, which is across the street from Tower Place Mall, is still being worked out now that the parking plan has been delayed by court battles and a referendum effort.
Cincinnati's police and firefighter unions are filing a lawsuit over the city's health care dependent audit. The city is asking employees to verify whether spouses and children are legitimately eligible for health care benefits by turning over documents such as marriage licenses, birth certificates and tax returns. The unions' attorney told WVXU the unions are willing to provide the necessary documents, but he said they're concerned the process is too intrusive and difficult.
Two firms are getting tax credits for creating jobs in the Greater Cincinnati area: 5Me, which creates manufacturing software, and Festo Americas, which specializes in factory and process automation. Altogether, the credits could create 312 jobs in the region.
A Democratic state senator hinted yesterday at letting voters decide whether Internet sweepstakes cafes should be allowed in Ohio. State officials, particularly Attorney General Mike DeWine, claim Internet cafes are hubs for criminal activity. The Ohio House already passed a measure that would effectively ban the cafes, but some are cautious of the ban as the Ohio Senate prepares to vote.

The Ohio House is looking to rewrite parts of Gov. John Kasich's budget proposal after dissent has focused on the governor's tax plan. The chamber's leaders are looking to set aside the tax plan from the bill so they can better focus on other complicated parts of the budget, including the Medicaid expansion and school funding. Even without the governor's controversial sales tax expansion plan, Kasich's budget proposal contains enough leftover money to pass some income tax cuts, with about $280.4 million in general revenue available for fiscal year 2014 and $690.2 million available in fiscal year 2015, according to an analysis in the Bluebook. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget proposal in further detail here.
State Auditor Dave Yost says he expects to get the subpoenaed financial records from JobsOhio today by the noon deadline, even though the audit has come under criticism from Gov. Kasich and other state officials. Yost says he should be allowed to look into JobsOhio's full financial records, which include private funds, but Kasich and other Republicans argue only public funds are open to audit. JobsOhio is a publicly funded nonprofit, privatized development agency that was set up by Kasich and Republican legislators to eventually replace the Ohio Department of Development, which is susceptible to a full audit.
Workers for the $78 million U Square project near the University of Cincinnati allege they are being underpaid. In a lawsuit, union workers are claiming they should be paid prevailing wage established in state law because the project is using public funds and 50 percent owned by a public authority.
With the support of City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr., Cincinnati is now looking to cash into its innovative water technology with the formation of the Global Water Technology Hub, which will use expert advice to identify market needs and sell the technology. The city promises the hub will also help keep water rates low for users and find new revenue sources.
Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld will hold a press conference today to introduce his Restoring Our Communities Initiative, which will seek to fight blight and improve child safety in Cincinnati. The initiative will include a push for the passage of Ohio Senate Bill 16, which would make it so individuals are not liable for trespassing convictions if the person is remediating blight on abandoned personal property. In a statement, Sittenfeld explained the purpose of the initiative: "Blight is a complicated issue that impacts many aspects of life, and I think this plan helps attack the problem from several angles."
Cincinnati Council's Budget and Finance Committee unanimously approved $10,000 for the Westwood Square project, which will involve a larger facility for the Madcap Theater, green space and changes to the neighborhood's entryways to better encourage community pride and economic development.

The MLK/I-71 Interchange project is supposed to be funded through the city's parking plan, but mayoral candidate John Cranley, who opposes the parking plan and streetcar, says the city should instead use federal funding that was originally intended for the streetcar project.
Between 2010 and 2011, the streetcar project was awarded about $40 million in federal grants — nearly $25 million through
the Urban Circulator Grant, $4 million through the Congestion Mitigation
and Air Quality (CMAQ) Grant and nearly $11 million through TIGER 3.
The grants are highly competitive and allocated to certain
projects. In the case of Cincinnati, the grants were specifically
awarded to the streetcar after it was thoroughly vetted as a transit, not highway, project.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) website explains why the Urban Circulator Grant is only meant for transit projects like the streetcar: "Urban circulator systems such as streetcars and rubber-tire trolley lines provide a transportation option that connects urban destinations and foster the redevelopment of urban spaces into walkable mixed-use, high-density environments."
The CMAQ Grant's main goal is to fund projects that curtail congestion and pollution, with an emphasis on transit projects, according to the Federal Highway Administration. The website explains, "Eligible activities include transit improvements, travel demand management strategies, traffic flow improvements and public fleet conversions to cleaner fuels, among others."
The DOT website says TIGER 3 money could go to a highway project, but one of the program's goals is promoting "livability," which is defined as, "Fostering livable communities through place-based policies and investments that increase transportation choices and access to transportation services for people in communities across the United States." TIGER 3 is also described as highly competitive by the DOT, so only a few programs get a chance at the money.
When asked about the grants' limitations, Cranley said, "I believe … the speaker of the house, the senator, the congressman, the governor and the mayor could petition and get that changed. Just because that may have been the way they set the grants in the first place doesn't mean they can't change it."The parking plan would lease Cincinnati's parking assets to the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority and allocate a portion of the raised funds — $20 million — to the MLK/I-71 Interchange project, but the plan is currently being held up by a lawsuit seeking to enable a referendum.
The streetcar is one of the few issues in which Cranley and Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a streetcar supporter who is also running for mayor, are in stark contrast ("Back on the Ballot," issue of Jan. 23).
Cranley's opponents recently accused him of originally supporting the streetcar when he was a council member through two 2008 City Council motions, but Cranley says those motions, which he co-sponsored, only asked the city administration to study the merits of a streetcar plan, not approve of it. Cranley voted no on the first streetcar resolution in October 2007 and the motion to actually build the streetcar in April 2008.
"I've never said that I'm against the (streetcar) concept in all circumstances," Cranley says. "I wanted to know if there was a way that they could pay for it in a way that wouldn't take away from what I thought were more important priorities."
The Ohio Board of Education named Richard Ross, one of Gov. John Kasich's top education advisers, to the state school superintendent position. Ross' appointment links the Ohio Department of Education more closely with Kasich, according to StateImpact Ohio. Ross is replacing Stan Heffner, who resigned in August after an ethics investigation found he had misused state resources for personal matters and testified in favor of legislation that could have benefited a company he planned to work for.
In a study that should be out next month, Ohio and Kentucky officials are reviewing the Brent Spence Bridge project to make it more affordable. Many officials want to use tolling to help pay for the bridge, but northern Kentucky residents and elected officials have pushed back because they're concerned tolls will divert traffic to other bridges in Ohio and hurt the local economy.
In a press conference in front of the Ohio Statehouse yesterday, more than 100 educators and members of the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools (CORAS) asked Kasich to rework his education reform proposal in a way that would raise per-pupil funding, fully fund transportation, career technical and special education programs and pay for new initiatives like the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Under Kasich's current proposal, the state is reducing aid from $5,700 for each student to $5,000, but CORAS says funding should be increased to $6,270. CityBeat covered Kasich's budget proposal, which includes his education reform plan, here.
While funding in Kasich's plan is mixed for traditional public schools, charter schools will get 4.5 percent more funding, according to the Legislative Service Commission. Conservatives typically tout charter schools for providing more "school choice," but in a previous report, Policy Matters Ohio, a left-leaning policy research group, found more choices may bring down results from teachers and students.
Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan and friends and family of fire victims are pushing for a review of Cincinnati's fire ordinance codes to avert fire deaths. The proposed changes include more required fire exits, annual inspections, a mandatory fire drill at the beginning of each school semester, the removal of all exceptions in the code and a measure that would prevent air conditioning units from being placed on windows that are supposed to act as exits. Quinlivan is also encouraging the University of Cincinnati to restart a certified list of preferred rental locations around campus, which would only include housing properties that pass fire safety inspections.
The first public hearings on Kasich's budget proposal to expand Medicaid contained mixed testimony, with supporters touting greater accessibility to health care and improved health results and opponents claiming that Medicaid leads to worse outcomes and will discourage people from improving their economic situation. Previous studies, which CityBeat covered along with the rest of Kasich's budget proposal here, found Medicaid expansions led to lower mortality rates and better health outcomes in certain states. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio says the Medicaid expansion will save the state money in the next decade and provide health insurance to 456,000 Ohioans by 2022.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has posted the full lawsuit filed against the city's parking plan, which is set to have a hearing in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Friday. CityBeat wrote more about the lawsuit here.
Judge Robert Ruehlman ruled that Elmwood Place can't collect on tickets from speed cameras that he recently deemed a violation of motorists' due process. The city and police are filing an appeal to the initial ruling, which halted the use of the cameras.
Eighteen percent of Greater Cincinnati's chief financial officers plan to hire for new professional-level positions in the second quarter, while 66 percent say they will only fill jobs that open in the next three months.

On New Year's Day, a fire broke out in a residential home near the University of Cincinnati that led to the deaths of UC students Chad Kohls and Ellen Garner, and their friends and family say the deaths could have been prevented by a better fire ordinance code. Now, Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan is heeding their call.
Speaking in front of the Livable Communities Committee
today, friends and family of Kohls and Garner asked City Council to pass changes to the fire ordinance, including more required fire exits, annual inspections, a mandatory fire drill at the beginning of each school semester and the removal of all exceptions in the code. They're also asking the new ordinance be named in honor of Kohls and Garner.
Quinlivan says her office will work with the city administration to find possible changes that would help avert fire deaths, including a measure that would prevent air conditioning units from being placed on windows that are supposed to act as exits.
Quinlivan is also encouraging UC to restart a certified list of preferred rental locations around campus, which would only include housing properties that pass fire safety inspections.
"I am touched that those close to Ellen and Chad contacted me, so that we can work with our city administration to prevent similar tragedies in the future," Quinlivan said in a statement.
Two weeks ago, City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that requires all rental properties be equipped with photoelectric smoke detectors that are better at detecting slow, smoldering fires, which have been linked to more fatalities than the flaming, fast-moving fires picked up by the more traditional ionization smoke detectors, according to the vice mayor's office. CityBeat covered that legislation here.
In February, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, from 7.9 percent in January, and the nation added 236,000 jobs. Many of the new jobs — about 48,000 — came from construction, while government employment saw a drop even before sequestration, a series of across-the-board federal spending cuts, began on March 1. Economists seem quite positive about the report.
In January, Ohio's unemployment rate rose to 7 percent, from 6.7 percent in December, with the number of unemployed in the state rising to 399,000, from 385,000 the month before. Goods-producing and service-providing industries and local government saw a rise in employment, while jobs were lost in trade, transportation, utilities, financial activities, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, state government and federal government. In January, U.S. unemployment rose to 7.9 percent, from 7.8 percent in December.
A new report outlined renovations for the city-owned Tower Place Mall, which is getting a makeover as part of Cincinnati's parking plan. A lot of the retail space in the mall will be replaced to make room for parking that will be accessed through what is currently Pogue's Garage, but two rings of retail space will remain, according to the report. The parking plan was approved by City Council Wednesday, but it was temporarily halted by a Hamilton County judge. The legal contest has now moved to federal court, and it's set to get a hearing today.
Meet the mayoral candidates through CityBeat's two extensive Q&As: Roxanne Qualls and John Cranley. Qualls spoke mostly about her support for immigration, the parking plan and streetcar, while Cranley discussed his opposition to the parking plan and streetcar and some of his ideas for Cincinnati.
A Hamilton County court ruled against the controversial traffic cameras in Elmwood Place, and the Ohio legislature is considering a statewide ban on the cameras. In his ruling, Judge Robert Ruehlman pointed out there were no signs making motorists aware of the cameras and the cameras are calibrated once a year by a for-profit operator. The judge added, "Elmwood Place is engaged in nothing more than a high-tech game of 3-card Monty. … It is a scam that motorists can't win." Bipartisan legislation was recently introduced to prohibit traffic cameras in Ohio.
JobsOhio, the state-funded nonprofit corporation, quietly got $5.3 million in state grants, even though the state legislature only appropriated $1 million for startup costs. JobsOhio says it needed the extra funds because legal challenges have held up liquor profits that were originally supposed to provide funding. In the past few days, State Auditor Dave Yost, a Republican, has been pushing Republican Gov. John Kasich and JobsOhio to release more details about the nonprofit corporation's finances, but Kasich and JobsOhio have been pushing back.
Advocates for Ohio's charter schools say Kasich's budget amounts to a per-pupil cut, with funding dropping from $5,704 per pupil to $5,000 plus some targeted assistance that ranges from hundreds of dollars to nothing depending on the school. A previous CityBeat report on online schools found traditional public schools get about $3,193 per student — much less than the funding that apparently goes to charter schools.
Fountain Square will be getting a new television from Cincinnati-based LSI Industries with the help of Fifth-Third Bank and the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC). The new video board will have better image quality and viewing angles, but it will also come with more screen space for sponsors.
Ohio's casino revenues rose in January. That could be a good sign for Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino, which opened Monday.
In light of recent discussion, Popular Science posted a Q&A on drones.
If City Council does not agree to lease Cincinnati's parking system, the city manager's office says the city will be forced to lay off 344 employees, including 80 firefighter and 189 police positions, but critics argue there are better alternatives.
In a memo dated to Feb. 26, City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. wrote that the city will also have to close three community centers and six pools; eliminate Human Services Funding, which aids the city's homeless and poor; and reduce funding for local business groups, parks, nature education for Cincinnati Public Schools and environmental regulations, among other changes. In total, the cuts would add up to $25.8 million — just enough to balance the deficit that would be left in place without the parking plan.
In addition to the cuts, failing to approve the parking plan, which leases the city's parking meters for 30 years and lots and garages for 50 years to the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority, would displace plans to convert Tower Place Mall, construct a 30-floor tower with a grocery store downtown, accelerate the the I-71/MLK Interchange project, acquire the Wasson Line right-of-way for a bike trail and add $4 million to the next phase of Smale Riverfront Park ("Parking Stimulus," issue of Feb. 27).
Democratic Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who's running for mayor, has come out in favor of the parking plan, but John Cranley, another Democrat running for mayor, says he opposes the deal because it will hurt downtown businesses.
"It's the boy who cried wolf," Cranley says. "In 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 … they threatened to lay off police and firefighters, and it never happened."
Cranley says he would rather take $10 million from projected casino revenue and $7 million from current parking revenues to help clear the deficit. For the remaining $8.8 million, he would cut non-essential programs, which would exclude police, fire, garbage collection, health, parks and recreation, street pavement and Human Services Funding, across the board by 10 to 15 percent. If that wasn't enough, he would then move to the essential programs, which he says make up about $300 million in the $368.9 million budget, with a 1-percent across-the-board cut.
He says his solution would have the upside of fixing structural deficit problems in Cincinnati's General Fund, whereas the one-time lease of the city's parking assets will only take care of the deficit for the next two years.
Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, says City Council could use the casino revenue to pay for the deficit, but $4 million of it is already set for the Focus 52 program, which funds neighborhood development projects.
"Council can use whatever revenue sources they want," Olberding says. "That's why the memo … says we can either use this plan or another plan."
Cranley says he would not do away with the Focus 52 program, but he would instead find funding for it in the Capital Budget, which is separate from the General Fund.
Olberding says City Council could approve the use of about $3 million in parking meter revenue for the General Fund, but the rest of the parking money, which comes from lots and garages, is tied to an enterprise fund, which, by state law, means the city would have to sell its parking lots and garages before it could obtain money for the General Fund.
Cranley, who also opposes the streetcar project ("Back on the Ballot," issue of Jan. 23), says it
would be possible to pay for the I-71/MLK Interchange and other projects
if the streetcar wasn't taking up funds. If it was up to him, he says
he would remove streetcar funding and use it on other development
projects "without batting an eye."
In the Feb. 27 City Council meeting, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls said the Budget and Finance Committee will likely vote on the city manager's parking plan on March 4 or March 11.
The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a 40-year agreement with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) that will lease the county-owned Memorial Hall and provide renovations to the 105-year-old building.
County officials have long said the building, which is used to host concerts, shows and speaking events, is in dire need of upgrades, particularly overhauls to its roof, windows, facade work, floors, air conditioning and bathrooms — all of which will now be financed by 3CDC with the help of tax credits.
"The public-private partnership between 3CDC and Hamilton County will result in the preservation of historic Memorial Hall without the use of taxpayer dollars for the improvements," Commissioner Greg Hartmann, a Republican, said in a statement. "3CDC has an impressive track record with development projects in downtown Cincinnati and will be a great partner to manage this project."
The partnership will also relinquish the county government's operational funding for insurance and utilities for Memorial Hall, which cost the county about $200,000 annually.
In a statement, Hartmann's office said the partnership with 3CDC "extends only to the renovations at Memorial Hall," and the county will retain ownership and the final say over any increased programming.
The city of Cincinnati has repeatedly partnered with 3CDC, a nonprofit company, for projects at Fountain Square, Washington Park, the Vine Street streetscape project and ongoing developments throughout Over-the-Rhine.

Hillary is our next president. So sorry.[/i]
I like RP and most of his ideas, but he has some I disagree with, and he is ultimately a bit of controlled opposition which will dilute the meager support for the republican incompetent they select to challenge the nightmarish fascist dictator we have now. You can't win. We get 4 more years of what many regard as the worst ever. Even if the people do support him they won't let him take office, but the average is completely bamboozled by the MSM lies so expect no change. Mittens will lose due to RP, and that is good, but since RP won't win it is also very bad.

I was looking for a red coat for a while, and this one is perfect. Quality is great, so is the fit. It is true to size. I usually wear shirt size 4-6, mostly 4. So, I would normally get a coat in size 6, just to allow wearing a sweater under it. (And just the other day, I was trying on some coats, and for most of them, I had to try on size 8, even 6 was too small). But since I noticed that some people said that it runs large (on some other web sites, where it was twice as expensive, by the way), I decided to go with size 4. And it fits great. So, just get the same size as the shirt size that you usually wear. I love this coat!
I don't usually buy clothes online because I have had some bad experiences as I am very tall, but it is heading into summer in Australia and I need winter gear for an overseas holiday so thought I would give it a go. The quality of this jacket is excellent. The sizing is true to size, I am six foot tall so it is a tiny little bit tight across the shoulders but I will wear it at night with a black knee length dress and it will be beautiful. The length comes to mid thigh. Whats better still- it landed at my door step five days after ordering- some Australian companies can't even manage this.I love this jacket. I will definitely buy this brand and from this website again.
Looks good, fits well and I saw one by same designer LL at Macys for $249. Some slight differences in that but not enough to be noticable unless together in one room.
I have been looking and pricing this style of coat for some time now. Should have looked here first! The coat has a nice silouette, the notched collar lies flat, the interior lining is well constructed. I purchased a size larger to accomodate lots of layers for our cold winters. The arm length is just right. Often on larger sizes (I purchased a 16) the arms are too long, but this one isn't. Oh, did I mention is it very warm? The open collar on top is perfect for showcasing all of my handknit scarfs and shawls. This coat is just perfect and I am sure it will last for many seasons. You would expect to pay at least twice the amount for this type of quality. As usual, the shipping was fast. I am very happy with this purchase.
I generally wear a 14 (or large) top. After reading reviews stating this coat ran large, I ordered a 12. Well I guessed wrong. Too snug across the back & arms. This coat is going back in exchange for a size14. It is a beautiful coat. Fairly lightweight - it will be perfect for comfortable travel or shopping.
The coat is a cherry red. It runs true to size. I am 5'9 and it's long-a few inches above my knee. It's tailored and accentuates the waist, having a slimming effect. The price on Overstock is a steal and it seems like a very well-made coat at a great price. Highly recommended!
I was very disappointed as the coat was shown with black buttons which was the main reason why my daughter chose it and it was received one coat with red buttons. All the charm was in the red coat with black buttons...
I have been looking for a nice red coat. They are very popular because most of them are sold out everywhere. I got this in the size 4 small , which is my normal size. I could have gotten a size smaller , to be more fitted. Unfortunately, when this arrived I noticed a button was missing. Was disappointed because I was anxious to get it. I felt the style was a bit on the mature side. I like a more trendy style. Sending it back due to damage and my hunt will continue.
This coat is classic and well made. It's not overly styled, and therefore will look just as good in several years as it does this year. Local department stores offered one very similar for twice the price.
Great coat, I just ordered the wrong color, they did run a little big, but fabric was soft and good.

As is so often the case in Afghanistan, turmoil and confusion have clouded this week's announcement of peace talks involving the United States and the Taliban in Doha, Qatar.
CNN senior international correspondent Nic Robertson explains what's happening, and why.
What are we talking about?
The Taliban have opened an office in Qatar with an eye toward beginning talks there with Afghan and U.S. officials to end the fighting in Afghanistan. U.S. officials are expected to meet Thursday with Taliban representatives in Doha, but Afghanistan said Wednesday it won't participate.
What's gone wrong?
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is upset about how the Taliban portrayed themselves in opening their Qatar office, and he feels there's a rush to talks. He wants to be in control the peace process, and he isn't.
So he's pulled his delegation to the Doha talks and backed out of direct discussions with the United States about what happens after 2014, when NATO withdraws from Afghanistan.
Who's saying what?
Karzai says there are "contradictions between acts and statements of the U.S. in regard to the peace process." He says that the Taliban are emphasizing a continuation of the fighting and that "foreign powers" -- read Pakistan -- "are behind the opening of the Taliban office" in Qatar.
The Taliban, which angered Afghan officials by flying their flag and provocatively calling themselves the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, say they're "fighting to bring an end to the occupation" by NATO forces.
Is the peace process over?
It's unlikely -- everyone has something to gain from a successful negotiation. The United States would get a dignified exit for most of its forces and an agreement on a long-term presence in Afghanistan. Karzai would get the legacy he craves as a peacemaker, and the Taliban would get a say in how the country is run.
President Barack Obama said we should expect "bumps in the road" and warned that this would be "a difficult process." And this is not the first time Karzai has stalled things.
But this is not a good start. Compromise seems to be in short supply.
What about the killing of 4 U.S. soldiers by the Taliban?
It is worrying that this came hours after the Taliban statement Tuesday. Is it coincidence or backlash? Some Taliban field commanders are unhappy with their representatives in Qatar, and behind the scenes, those close to the Taliban fear an uptick in violence near Kabul.
There's a risk that hard-liners will undermine leaders they don't trust in these talks. That's true in most peace negotiations. Some think representatives in Qatar will do Pakistan's bidding and want out of the fight now. Others may fight long after the majority agrees to peace.
Is there a grand bargain to be had?
International representatives close to the process in the past have told me not to rule it out. A bargain, where the Taliban accept U.S. bases in Afghanistan beyond the 2014 pullout date and where they agree not to attack them, is possible. The same people also say don't hold your breath, this has been a long time coming.
What are the demands?
The Taliban must renounce al Qaeda. In the past, the Taliban have demanded that all foreign troops leave the country and have asked for specific percentages of representation in the Afghan political and military structures. They also want their prisoners released from U.S.-controlled detention.
Taliban officials have said in the past that theirs is a national struggle and that al Qaeda has an international agenda. However, they would take support where they could get it. The demand to renounce al Qaeda has been made to the Taliban since their first tentative "talks" in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in 2008.
Which Taliban are we talking about?
The Taliban of Mullah Omar, the Afghan leader or the Emir of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan before September 2001. His right-hand man, Tayyab Agha, heads the Taliban mission in Qatar. Other principal Taliban and Afghan opposition factions include the Haqqani faction, the TTP or Pakistani Mehsud faction and the Hekmatyar faction in the North East.
Those close to Mullah Omar's Taliban say the vast majority of Taliban support him.

This is an awesome product. I put these on my 05 Mustang GT along with ford racing headers, x pipe and a Whipple supercharger. The car sounds awesome! It provides a very deep, powerful sound. I have gotten some nice remarks since putting these on.
The Ford Racing exhaust sounds great, and looks great. A big improvement over the stock exhaust. It actually sounds like a Mustang should. It has a nice growl to it, without being to harsh.

After 64 years, Heidelberg University played its first football game on campus in 2009.
As part of the the university's Strategic Action Plan, the first project of Phase Three, the planned construction of the multi-purpose athletic stadium and alumni center, is in the initial fundraising stage.
In order for construction to begin, the amount of funds to be raised is $4.4 million by June 30. Once the funds are secure, construction may begin, to be completed by the fall.
Article Photos
Shown is a proposed architectural rendering for the athletic stadium and alumni center.
As of Monday, through gifts and pledges, about $1.7 million had been raised.
This is to be a tri-level facility built into the hillside on Greenfield Street. The infrastructure is to include an upper-level press box, plaza-level ticket windows, concessions and restrooms, track-level locker rooms and an indoor sports room for wrestling and baseball.
An elevator and handicapped seating and parking areas also is to be included.
Seating in the stands is to hold roughly 1,500, with the capability to add additional seating in the future.
The features of the alumni center, called Fox Den - after long-time successful football coach Paul Hoernemann, a 1938 Heidelberg alum - are to include a reception area, an exhibit gallery and a private viewing deck with access to reserved seating on the 50-yard line.
Exterior features would include covered plaza areas, ground and upper-level walking areas, sidewalks and paths.
"The president wanted to bring back football to campus. For over 60 years, we have shared a stadium with the community," executive director of development and planned giving Jim Minehart said. "We want to integrate athletics and education and (enhance) the academic campaign for excellence and the student experience."
This project has many benefits for the campus community and the Tiffin and Seneca County community as a whole. The community can come and experience "game day" events and activities held on the "game day field" and hold special events, meetings and even concerts. The students will be able to celebrate their team and have a space to use for freshmen orientation and commencement ceremonies.
According to a brochure provided by Heidelberg University, President Robert Huntington said, "The Athletic Stadium and Alumni Center will be an energizing gateway to invite new students, engage current students, and welcome back former students onto campus for exciting events and integrated educational experiences."
