text: In the 1830s, Texas was under the control of Mexico, but as an increasing number of Mexicans began to immigrate to Texas alongside the substantial community of Americans who had come to settle the territory, Mexico began to more aggressively assert its rule; however, the new American settlers began to chafe under Mexican authority, and the Mexican-Texans (or Tejanos) were forced to choose a side as the conflict grew into a war for Texan independence. The battle of the Alamo became a pivotal event in this conflict, and Remember the Alamo is a documentarythat looks at the events which led up to the battle, as well as its consequences. Produced for the PBS series The American Experience, Remember the Alamo aired in 2003 to coincide with the release of The Alamo, a fictional reworking of this true story. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Cumberland County schools can count on getting at least the same amount of local funding for the next two years, the Board of Commissioners pledged Thursday.
But the board stopped short of approving a longer-term funding agreement, citing uncertainty over changes in how some local taxes are collected.
A funding agreement that guaranteed Cumberland County schools a set portion of county property tax revenue expired in 2011. For the last two years, the county has given $76.2 million annually to the school system. Thursday's vote preserves that for another two years.
School officials are keen to enter another long-term agreement, but the commissioners have been wary. The last agreement allowed school funding to climb more sharply than the county expected.
In recent weeks, county and school leaders hashed out a long-term plan that, starting in July 2014, would once again grant the schools a set portion of property tax revenue. That allows the dollar amount to grow in line with the tax base. The schools also would get 25 percent of any taxes the county collected beyond what was expected.
But confusion over how vehicle taxes will be collected prompted County Manager James Martin to balk at recommending the agreement Thursday. Starting in May, the state is set to begin collecting county vehicle taxes when registrations are due. The tax revenue would then be distributed to the counties, but a bill was introduced Monday to repeal that law. The confusion has county officials concerned about when and how the revenue will come in.
"We're holding ourselves back to find out what's happening with the state," Martin said. "We really don't know what the state's going to do."
As a compromise, Commissioner Jeannette Council suggested guaranteeing the schools at least the same dollar amount for the next two years.
"The school system needs to know that we will at least fund them for this year and next year at the same level," she said. "I want them to be able to be assured now they can count on at least this amount."
Council, who has been on the board for 22 years, said she remembered when school funding disputes landed in court, and that judges always looked to the last agreed-upon amount.
Commissioner Billy King agreed.
"The school system needs at least some working idea of where we are," he said. "We may decide to do more than this come budget time."
The county will revisit the long-term agreement when the dust settles on the vehicle tax changes.
Superintendent Frank Till said Thursday afternoon he was pleased the county had pledged to maintain current funding. But he said the schools need a long-term agreement to plan for future needs.
"We've gone year to year for a couple of years," Till said. "We're looking for the long-term agreement so we can do long-term planning."

Xstrata Coal and University join in new geology scholarship scheme
Helping to meet the boom in demand for geology graduates is the aim of a new scholarship scheme at the University of Newcastle.
The University and Xstrata Coal have joined together to provide up to six scholarships of $8,000 per year to students commencing a Bachelor of Science degree program majoring in earth sciences (geology stream).
The scholarships are designed to attract more students to a career in geology and help the industry overcome its employment crisis.
Dr Phillip Geary, Head of the Discipline of Earth Sciences, said the demand for earth scientists was increasing.
"The mining and exploration industries are particularly large employers of geologists in Australia and graduates are walking into jobs with excellent starting salaries because they are in such high demand," he said.
"This is due to both growth in the Australian manufacturing sector, and an increasing global focus on developing an environmentally sustainable world."
"The correct management of energy, groundwater and soils is a vital part of this process."
Geology graduates generally find employment in a range of areas, as exploration or mining geologists, environmental consultants, geological surveyors, petroleum geologists, research scientists, and in education and environmental management.
Xstrata Coal NSW Chief Operating Officer, Mick Buffier, said the company was committed to supporting the scholarship program.
"As part of our ongoing commitment to the local communities which support our operations, we are proud to be working with the University of Newcastle to encourage the next generation of geologists."
"As an employer of choice within the mining industry, Xstrata Coal is pleased to be playing its part in helping provide new educational and practical experience opportunities for emerging talent in the important field of earth sciences."
Applications for the scholarships close on Thursday 31 January 2008. For scholarship information contact the Scholarships Office (02) 4921 6539.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
527. Covering the Challah
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
77:8 The loaves should be covered while saying Kiddush, even when making Kiddush over bread. This is a symbol of the manna, which was covered by dew both on top and below. (When saying Kiddush over bread, one should uncover the loaves to say the bracha of HaMotzi and re-cover them for the rest of Kiddush. See the complete procedure in Mishnah Brurah 271:41.)
77:9 The one making Kiddush should drink at minimum a cheek-full of wine without interruption; it is a mitzvah for everyone to take a sip of the Kiddush wine. (They do not need to drink a cheek-full; a sip suffices – MB 271:71.) A person who for whatever reason does not drink wine should not make Kiddush on wine relying on others to drink it. (Other authorities do permit this - Rema 272:9. If someone else drinks a cheek-full, it is effective but several diners' sips do not combine to form this volume – OC 271:14. Some authorities even permit all the diners' sip to combine to this volume – MB 271:73.)

Highly recommended for those looking for a simple and affordable accommodation in an excellent location which just 3 minutes walk from the Central Rail Station, and approx. 10 to 20 minutes walking distance from many places of interest in the CBD area of Sydney. The staff (Yong, Sean, and Mong who are Korean) have been very helpful and ready to help with advice and information if you ask them. Would stay here again for my next visit to Sydney. Regards

As 2013 dawns at Mount Rainier National Park, many employees plan to gather Tuesday morning at Paradise to honor the woman who died a year ago protecting the popular destination.
The memorial service closed to the public and media will mark the anniversary of a tragedy that chief ranger Chuck Young says changed the lives of many people forever.
On New Years Day 2012, park law enforcement ranger Margaret Anderson stopped a man who blew through a snow tire checkpoint. The man, Benjamin Colton Barnes, shot and killed Anderson and fled into the parks snowy wilderness. His body was found in Paradise River the next day.
Park visitors at Paradise were locked down overnight during the manhunt. Those people were invited to Tuesdays service.
The anniversary brings back a lot of bad memories, Young said.
In the year since Andersons death, park officials have worked to develop a plan for a permanent tribute to her and three other rangers who have died in the line of duty. Climbing ranger Nick Hall was killed during a rescue in June, and climbing rangers Phil Otis and Sean Ryan died attempting a rescue in 1995.
Young and park superintendent Randy King have said they want the memorial to be discrete. Three designs have been shown to the park staff members for their feedback. Ultimately, the decision will be made by King.
We want a memorial that reflects those who died, Young said. It should not be something obtrusive that detracts from other things going on in the park. People should be able to visit year round.
The park has identified three possible locations for the memorial. The preferred location is the Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise. The park also is considering Longmire and the Twin Falls Trail.
Park officials hope to dedicate the memorial in May.
If part of a building, the memorial could be approved and completed rather quickly. However, Young said, if erected outside, it would require an environmental impact study.
Details of the three proposed options have not been released, but the Paradise design would incorporate (the memorial) into the glass windows that look up to the mountain, Young said.
We want the memorial in a place where people can have some quiet contemplation, he said. We dont want it right in a hall where, if any family members come up, they feel like they are standing in Grand Central Station.
Earlier this year the park paid tribute to Anderson with a tradition borrowed from the military. The park commissioned challenge coins that were distributed to all park employees, including those hired after the shooting.
Those people made a choice to come here even after the tragedy, Young said. That took some courage.
The coin symbolizes something we all went through together, he said.
In September, a National Park Service review board determined Andersons death was not preventable. The board praised the park and other agencies for their reaction and credited Anderson with saving lives.
While Barnes intentions remain unknown, many park workers and visitors believe Andersons actions might have prevented a mass shooting at Paradise.
Jeremy Best was visiting Paradise the morning of the shooting.
Im positive she saved my life, he told The News Tribune in the days after Andersons death.
Craig Hill: 253-597-8497
At the time of her death, Margaret Anderson was 34 and had two daughters, 2 and 4 years old.
Her husband, Eric, was a law enforcement ranger at Mount Rainier National Park. He never returned to work at the park and moved his family to Boise, where he is a structural fire-training specialist for the National Interagency Fire Center.
The Margaret Anderson Donation Fund remains open at Eatonvilles KeyBank. Donations go to Andersons family.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 012139 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 339 PM CST Sun Dec 1 2013 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday) Issued at 317 PM CST SUN DEC 1 2013 The main forecast concern for this period will be the potential for dense fog. Fog was most prevalent last night across west- central Missouri and southeastern Kansas. The fog was very slow to burn off with low stratus still persisting this afternoon across southwestern Missouri and portions of extreme southeastern Kansas. The setup looks even better for tonight as low level moisture advection continues. Current thinking is that almost all of the Missouri Ozarks and southeastern Kansas will get in on at least some patchy fog action. We suspect that fog may form rather quickly across west-central Missouri this evening as temperatures will not have all that far to fall to approach dew points. A Dense Fog Advisory may again be required for part of the area later tonight. After morning fog on Monday, the setup again looks good for fog Monday night as even stronger moisture advection develops. There is some question on fog coverage Monday night as increasing southerly winds may promote low stratus over some areas. Otherwise, above normal temperatures will persist early this week as the upper level flow backs from northwesterly to westerly. Even with occasional fog and low clouds, highs on Monday should have no problem making the upper 50s. Overnight lows will be in the upper 30s and 40s...which is a solid 10 to 15 degrees above normal for early December. While most areas are expected to remain dry through Monday night, some drizzle will be possible across southern Missouri. Tuesday will then be even warmer with surface winds becoming gusty out of the south to southwest. Models are progging 850 mb temperatures warming into the 10 to 13 Celsius range. This should result in all areas warming into the 60s Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately for us, these mild temperatures will become a distant memory by next weekend. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Sunday) Issued at 317 PM CST SUN DEC 1 2013 A massive pattern change will commence from mid to late week. The upper level flow will become southwesterly as strong upper level energy digs down the west coast. Global models continue to advertise short wave energy emerging from a long wave trough across the western United states...with this wave tracking across the northern and central Plains on Wednesday. This will drive a strong cold front south across the Ozarks sometime Wednesday night/Thursday morning. At this time, we prefer a faster frontal passage given that this air mass will be awfully chilly in nature. As the initial front passes, we may see a few rain showers develop across the region. At this time, instability supportive of thunder appears as if it will remain just southeast of the area. The bigger concerns then start from late Wednesday night into Thursday. An Arctic origin air mass will continue to filter into the area as a 1040+ mb high pressure slides down from the Canadian High Plains. As this happens, global models remain consistent in phasing a split upper level jet from the southern Plains into the Great Lakes. Models then subsequently strengthen and back-build a jet core into the southern Plains as short wave energy emerges from the southwestern United States from later Thursday into Friday. This will promote a substantial increase in large scale lift across the region and a high likelihood for wintry precipitation late this week. At this time, it appears that the most likely time period for widespread wintry precipitation will be from Thursday afternoon into Friday morning. Precipitation type is still a big question with this setup. Most, if not all global models paint primarily a snow picture after a brief window of freezing rain potential. It must be pointed out that global models handle both the position and depth of Arctic air masses poorly. Given that the large scale trough will be positively tilted, it is possible that the cold dome will not be as deep as models are currently showing. We have therefore held onto freezing rain potential into Thursday night across south-central Missouri. Farther to the north, confidence is higher that primarily snow will fall from extreme southeastern Kansas up into the Lake of the Ozarks region. Given that the main core of this storm system is just now coming onshore across British Columbia, accumulation amounts remain a big question. Obviously, precipitation type will be key. Liquid to snow ratio will also come into play as the Arctic air mass filters in. Another big story by the end of the week will be bitter cold temperatures and wind chills. Low temperatures in the single digits will be quite possible by the weekend...especially if there is snow on the ground. High temperatures this weekend may struggle to even reach the lower to middle 20s. With the main core of the surface high remaining to our north, we will hang onto a persistent northerly wind. This will drive wind chills down below zero at times. Medium range models then show more upper level energy coming across the region late this weekend. If this indeed occurs, snow would be the likely precipitation type with the cold air mass entrenched across the region. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday) Issued at 1204 AM CST SUN DEC 1 2013 MVFR to patchy IFR stratus being noted over far southwest Missouri late this morning. With even the NAM behind in recovering...appears boundary layer moisture to be rather pervasive. Still believe there to be enough warming to thin stratus be mid afternoon. Some uncertainty just how far down visibilities will go tonight but fully expect fog to reform by midnight and then become at least locally dense tonight. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Tonight on PBS, I sit with worldwide music icon Gloria Estefan. We look back on her remarkable artistic journey and discuss how each of the songs she chose to record for her new album, The Standards, is reflective of a personal moment in time.

I talked with Mulloy about the Una Noche, her working relationship with Spike Lee, her experiences as a female filmmaker, the importance of representation and what made her, a British director, so keen on telling a Cuban story.
I was completely entranced, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was unlike anything I had ever seen before. And hence began my long love affair with his films.
I encouraged my friend to attend the screening of the film. My friend responded, "No, that's fine. It's a Latin film. I'm sure it'll just go over my head." That response made me want to scream, in part, because this is no novel sentiment. Why is it that so many people still believe that English-language media produced by and starring Latinos are for Latinos only?
I'm not giving the show a glowing review. I, along with every other Latina, rolled my eyes when I heard that the show was about maids. But, I think it's important to give the show a chance and to look at it critically. Let's dissect what it does right and what it does wrong.
As they spend more and more time together their friendship subtly transforms, evoking that butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling that only a first crush can. It's a beautifully told almost-love story set to the music of local ska bands, the melancholy vocals of Carla Morrison, and other genre-remixing Latino artists.
"It's an issue. Studios want to tell universal stories. We want to do the same thing. But, we want to use Latino stories with Latino faces to tell universal stories. We're all part of one group. We are all humans and we all want to tell human stories."
While poet Julia de Burgos' tragic-victim narrative has often predominated, she is, like many other Puerto Rican women who migrated to New York, too complex and multifaceted to be contained within such a limited framework.

Some names of difference-makers will become recognizable, but the vast majority will not. This is why we find ourselves rooting for someone unknown to the masses whose story inspires and captivates, and speaks to our sense of humanity. Someone like Edgar "Shoboy" Sotelo.

Instructions for Crepes with Cheese and Raisins Recipe
- Make the filling: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the sugar and lemon zest and process until the lemon zest is minced. Add the cheese, butter, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt. Process until the mixture is smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as necessary. With the motor running, add the remaining eggs one at a time through the feed tube. Add the cr�me fraiche and pulse the machine just to combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the raisins and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the crepes: In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Add the eggs and melted butter and stir until smooth. Add the milk and mix well. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into another clean bowl.
- Heat a 7-inch crepe pan or non-stick omelet pan over moderate heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and twirl the pan as it melts to coat the bottom evenly. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the batter to form a thin, circular, even crepe. Cook the crepe until it is golden brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes; then use a spatula to flip it and continue cooking until its underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the crepe and place it on top of a sheet of waxed paper on a large plate. Continue until all the batter is used, layering waxed paper between the crepes to prevent them from sticking.
- Make the glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Whisk in the heavy cream and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375�F. Butter 8 to 12 individual-serving gratin dishes large enough to hold 2 or 3 crepes; or butter one or more large gratin dishes big enough to hold all the crepes.
- One at a time, place a crepe on a work surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling along its diameter. Roll up the crepe to enclose the filling. Arrange 2 or 3 filled crepes in each individual gratin dish, or place all of them side by side in the one or more large dishes.
Spoon the glaze over the crepes. Bake them until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Serve them in their individual gratin dishes directly from the oven, placing them on top of dinner plates; or spoon them from large gratin dishes onto individual serving plates. Top each serving with a generous dollop of apricot marmalade.
Serves 8 - 12
A recipe from my native Austria, this is still one of my favorite desserts. You must use a dry, small-curd cheese like farmer cheese to get the best results. For a special meal, accompany the desert with small glasses of a great dessert wine, such as Austria's famed Beerenauslee Reisleng.

Hi everybody, I have try to flash my card to unlock the shader and it seems that it is not working for me. 1 : I have tried with this bios http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/msi_r6950_twin_froz_iii_power_edition_unlocking,1.html and this one http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/96402/MSI.HD6950.2048.110324.html ==> only oc limit has been changed 2 : i have tried the script of W1zzard http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2137760&postcount=381 ==> no change 3 : I have tried with RBE method ==> BOSD I have always flash with atiflash, my card is it really impossible to unlock or i have missed something ?
I can't unlock my shaders either. It seems that some may have been laser cut. When was your card manufactured? Check the serial:
This tutorial is what I used to unlock my 6950 TFII. Follow the instructions to the letter. If it doesn't work, there's a good chance your card won't unlock.
If you have a rather new TwinFrozr III, forget it. They don't unlock. But still, they are seriously quick and silent cards.
This is true. The newer, laser-cut cards will not unlock shaders, but flashing the BIOS in the aforementioned manner will still increase overclocking headroom. This can be very useful, considering the ridiculously low headroom given with the stock BIOS.
@ tallyhoe : my serial number is 02SB1107001073, so it was manufactured in july. That mean that my card is definitely lockable. Anyway RejZoR and blu3flannel are right this card is still a serious card even without the shader of the 6970. Thanks to all
I have managed to do one of my cards which is the same make model you are on about. MSI Twin Frozr III 6950 2GB. I purchased two the same. The other one will not flash
Its not that easy finding unlockable cards period. Not now anyway. I have purchased 4 cards so far to find one! I purchased an XFX 6950 2GB, VTX3D and and two MSI 6950 Twin Frozr's. So I have the VTX3d 6950 2GB that won't unlock, an XFX and one MSI Twin Frozr III!
i would have to say the OP is just unlucky, I know a forum member here Exodusprime1337 bought 2x MSI Twin Frozr III PE/OC cards and both unlocked to 6970s and both overclocked to over 1000 core with the same bios listed above, its luck of the draw 6950 is a lower binned part for a reason some ARE defective some are 6970s that needed to be put into 6950s to meet manufacturering goals etc.
Do you want me to take a picture of the card sn etc on the back??? We should make a better table of cards the MFG date serial number make model etc so we can work out what cards can be done and what cannot is there any pattern to cards that can be unlocked and those that can't. The build quality of MSI cards is fantastic.
The "Edit" button is a useful tool. If you want to maintain it, it would be a great idea for those who want to determine whether or not their card unlocks.
MSI 6950 2GB Twin Fozr III unlocked This is the card I have successfully unlocked. Sorry about the pic poor lighting lol!
Thats a label off an MSI Motherboard. I don't think the label on the graphics card is quite the same where date is concerned, although I could be wrong.
The label says it was made in July 2011. Which makes sense. Look at the 4 digits after the letter "B" in the 3rd segment of the serial number. 1107 which translates into 2011 and 07 as July, the 7th month of the year
Not completely true. I"m not trying to be rude but it's misleading to say they will not unlock. I personally have bought 6 of these very same cards in the last 2 weeks and have unlocked 100% of them. Some of them are laser cut yes, but others and probably many others are not laser cut.
I don't understand, I purchased two of these cards to run in crossfireX but the second card which has the same date stamp 1107 in the SN. Will not unlock. Strange, it seems that some will and some won't. I think that it has to do with how the GPU chips are fabricated before they are heated onto the board as they are BGA?! I would think. AMD obviously manufacture these in Tiawan or wherever. What should I do would I get good performance from one unlocked 6950 and one thats not or will they both run at the speed of the slowest card? What should I do guys?! Will the unlocked card run a 6970 bios or would you not recommend it?
The main reason it doesnt work is because it's most likely been laser cut. The chip revision date and the card date are not related the chip could be a new version and the card a new version. But the card can also be new while the chip is older version
How can I be getting this message. What is this all about lol I got this game yesterday, damn I've been missing out! lol
Just bought the card, and the serial number says 1109, so pretty new. I have managed to unlock this using the BIOS supplied by MSI and using the script from the article. Trying to OC it at the moment and running it as we speak at 925/1375 with 1220 mV
My Asus Direct CU II 6950 flashed to 6970 and still running stable without any issues..but i really like the overclocking of MSI Twin frozer III OC/PE. i really love MSI.
I tried flashing my TFIII but shaders did not change. I tried flashing it too.. GPUZ (ver 0.5.6) did not show any shader count increase.. Tried bystanders method of modding the exising bios, and also tried the MSI r6950pex.bin bios. I did notice that CCC default gpu and mem settings are higher now. I have a question for you TFIII owners... Bystanders instructions say to flip the bios switch to the 1 position.. (towards the back of the card) I hate to sound stupid, but can someone please clarify the correct position of the BIOS / fan profile switch. - I am holding the card vertically with crossfire fingers and power connectors facing up and the fans and shroud facing towards me. The VGA/HDMI/DVI-D connectors are to my left and the DIP switch is approx 1.25 inches to the left of the power connectors.. The BIOS dip switch has "performance" labeled to the left side on the pcb, and silence on the right side of the dip switch. The BIOS switch is currently set to Performance (toward the VGA connector side of the card. Bystanders instructions say to set the switch towards the 'BACK' of the card.. But on my card that would be the 'silence' setting. When I performed the flash, I left the switch on the 'performance' setting. (I thought the silence setting only to be used to recover the card if the flash renders it inoperable.) I left the switch in the Performance setting.. see pic Can someone who has successfully done this to an MSI TFIII please confirm that I have the switch set correctly for the flash?
Hi, I didn't change the bios switch at all, since I figured the "silent" setting must be the backup BIOS. So I basically plugged in the card without changing anything after pulling it out from the box and ran the script to flash after changing the BIOS to the one provided by MSI. Here is a link to a zip file containing all the things I used. After unzipping just run the "flash_to_6970.bat" as administrator and reboot. Check with GPU-Z.exe which is supplied in the zip-file as well if you have gained some more sharders. I have 1536. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5584259/HD_6950_to_HD_6970_mod.zip Kind regards, Den Sorte Los.

Councilman Chris Seelbach and other local leaders are calling on Congress to rework the Voting Rights Act following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down key provisions. Supporters of the Voting Rights Act argue it's necessary to prevent discrimination and protect people's right to vote, while critics call it an outdated measure from the Jim Crow era that unfairly targeted some states with forgone histories of racism. "Within 24 hours of the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, five states are already moving ahead with voter ID laws, some of which had previously been rejected by the Department of Justice as discriminatory," Seelbach said in a statement. "The right to vote is one of the most sacred values in our nation and Congress should act immediately to protect it".
Nonprofit developer 3CDC says it's restructuring staff and guidelines to take better care of its vacant buildings following criticisms from residents and the local Board of Housing Appeals. The board has fined the 3CDC three times this year for failing to maintain Cincinnati's minimum standards for vacant buildings, which require owners keep the buildings watertight and safe for emergency personnel to enter.
Gov. John Kasich said the funding allocation belonged in
the capital budget — not the operating budget he signed into law — when
he vetoed money going to State Treasurer Josh Mandel's office, but The Columbus Dispatch reports it might have been revenge
for Mandel's opposition to the Medicaid expansion and an oil-and-gas
severance tax. Kasich spokesperson Rob Nichols says the allegation is
"silly" and "absurd," adding that Kasich said he would work with Mandel
on allocating the money during the capital budget process. The state
treasurer's office says it needs the $10 million to upgrade computers
against cyberattacks. Mandel was one of the first state Republicans to
come out against the Medicaid expansion, which CityBeat covered here and here.
A series of mandatory across-the-board federal spending cuts was supposed to take $66 million from Ohio schools, but state officials say they'll be able to soften the blow with $19 million in unspent federal aid. The federal cuts — also known as "sequestration" — were part of a debt deal package approved by Congress and President Barack Obama that kicked in March 1. Prior to its implementation, Obama asked Congress to rework sequestration to lessen its negative fiscal impact, but Republican legislators refused. CityBeat covered some of sequestration's other statewide effects here.

City Council today approved funding and accountability measures for the Cincinnati streetcar project, allowing the project to move forward.
On Monday, the Budget and Finance Committee approved the measures, which CityBeat covered in further detail here. The funding ordinance closes the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap by issuing more debt and pulling funding from various capital projects, including infrastructure improvements around the Horseshoe Casino.
The accountability motion will require the city manager to update City Council with a timeline of key milestones, performance measures, an operating plan, staffing assessments and monthly progress reports.
Council members Roxanne Qualls, Laure Quinlivan, Chris
Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and Wendell Young voted for the measures.
Council members P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Smitherman and Charlie Winburn
voted against both. Councilwoman Pam Thomas voted against the funding
ordinance, but she voted for the accountability motion.
City Council also unanimously approved funding for a development project on Fourth and Race streets, which includes a downtown grocery store, luxury apartment tower and parking garage to replace Pogue's Garage. CityBeat covered that project in further detail here.
City Manager Milton Dohoney signed an agreement Monday to lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, but the mayor and City Council may still make changes to the controversial parking plan before it's implemented. In the past week, the Hamilton County Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's ruling, made the parking plan insusceptible to a referendum and refused to delay enforcement on the ruling, which allowed the city manager to sign the lease within days. Still, the city won't spend the $92 million lump sum from the lease until there is legal certainty, meaning until appeals from opponents are exhausted. (Correction: The city signed the lease Monday, not Tuesday as originally reported in the story. The city made the announcement Tuesday, which caused confusion and miscommunication.)
City Council is discussing whether it needs to set funds for the I-71/MLK Interchange project. The state is asking the city to contribute $20 million, but some council members are questioning whether the state would pursue the project without city support. The city administration says the state is insisting on the city's participation. City Council originally planned to use funds from the parking lease to pick up the city's share of the tab for the project, which officials estimate will produce thousands of jobs in the region.
After introducing two competing Medicaid bills in the Ohio House, leaders said they're unlikely to vote on the bipartisan measures before the General Assembly's summer recess. One of the bills would create a Medicaid oversight committee and instruct the state Medicaid director to find cost savings without cutting benefits. The other bill would take up the federally funded Medicaid expansion while taking measures to diminish access to narcotics through the health care system and encourage cost sharing and private sector plans among Medicaid recipients. Gov. John Kasich is still pushing the General Assembly to pass the Medicaid expansion, whether it's through the budget, these bills or other means.
Ohio will end the current budget year with an unused surplus of $397 million, according to the state budget director. Kasich says the money should go toward tax cuts. The Ohio House and Senate are currently discussing merging their tax plans in the 2014-2015 budget, which could mean taking up smaller versions of the House's 7-percent across-the-board income tax cut and the Senate's 50-percent income tax reduction for business owners worth up to $375,000 of annual income.
Sequestration, a series of across-the-board federal budget cuts, will cost Ohio $284 million in fiscal year 2013, according to a Policy Matters Ohio report. For the state, that means slower economic growth, furloughed defense workers, cuts to county funds for social services, public health service reductions and further downsizing of the Head Start program, which supports preschool. CityBeat covered the early impact of sequestration in Ohio here.

The Hamilton County Court of Appeals refused to delay enforcement of its earlier ruling on the city's plan to lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, which will allow the city administration to sign the lease as soon as a lower court rescinds its original injunction on the plan. Six out of nine City Council members say they want to repeal or rework the deal, but City Solicitor John Curp says Mayor Mark Mallory, who supports the plan, has the power to hold any repeal attempts until Nov. 30, which means he can effectively stop any repeal attempts until the end of his final term as mayor.
City Manager Milton Dohoney told City Council yesterday that the state government will not pay for the I-71/MLK Interchange
if the city doesn't pick up some of the cost. Dohoney made the
statement when explaining how he would use the $92 million upfront money
from the parking plan. The interchange project has long been sought out by city and state officials to create jobs and better connect uptown businesses to the rest of the area and state.
State officials told The Cincinnati Enquirer the final budget plan may include downsized versions of the tax cut plans
in the Ohio House and Senate budget bills. The House bill
included a 7-percent across-the-board income tax cut, while the Senate bill included a 50-percent income tax deduction for business
owners worth up to $375,000 worth of income. Democrats have criticized the
across-the-board income tax cut for cutting taxes for the wealthy and the
business tax cut for giving a tax cut to passive
investors, single-person firms and partnerships that are unlikely to add
jobs. Republicans claim both tax cuts will spur the economy and create jobs.

The Hamilton County Court of Appeals today refused to delay enforcement of its earlier ruling on the city's plan to lease its parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, which will allow the city administration to sign the lease as soon as a lower court rescinds its original injunction on the plan.
On June 12, the court reversed a lower court's ruling and sided with the city over critics of the parking plan, deciding that the city can use emergency clauses to avert referendum efforts on passed legislation, including the parking plan. Emergency clauses also allow the city to avoid a 30-day waiting period on implementing laws.
For Cincinnati, the plan will first produce a $92 million one-time payment. Following that, the city will get an estimated $3 million a year, which the city says will eventually increase to $7 million and continue climbing afterward.
Still, the city says it won't spend any funds until there is legal certainty, meaning until potential appeals are exhausted.
"The City cannot commit the money in the parking plan until there is legal certainty around the funds," City Manager Milton Dohoney said in a statement on June 12. "Once there is legal certainty, the Administration will look at the budget to determine if there are items that may need to be revisited and bring those before Members of City Council, as appropriate."
Opponents are planning to appeal the ruling to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Opponents gathered more than 12,000 signatures supporting a referendum on the parking plan. But with the appeals court ruling, that referendum may never come to pass.
The city says the parking plan's funds will be used to accelerate economic growth, but critics argue the parking
plan will hurt downtown businesses by expanding parking meter hours and
increasing meter rates.
City Council began discussing potential changes to the parking plan in a Budget and Finance Committee meeting today. The meeting largely focused on whether City Council could repeal or rework the parking plan with a simple majority or supermajority.
Following the June 12 ruling, five out of nine council members signed a motion to repeal the parking plan. But City Council would need to pass an ordinance for any changes to be legally binding.
An ordinance would likely need six votes to overrule the mayor's veto powers.
City Solicitor John Curp told City Council the mayor also has the power through the City Charter to hold any proposed ordinances until the end of his term on Nov. 30, which means the mayor can effectively stop all repeal attempts.
Mayor Mark Mallory supports the parking plan. Jason Barron, his spokesperson, previously told CityBeat Mallory would reject a repeal.

For many neighborhoods, the lack of access to fresh, healthy fruits, vegetables and foods is a big problem, but Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan is helping address the problem, at least in the short term, through mobile produce zones that will be placed in eight neighborhoods generally considered "food deserts." Quinlivan acknowledges the solution is a stopgap, but Michael Widener, assistant professor in University of Cincinnati's Geography Department, says it's a start that could help many local residents as a better solution is worked on.
In a 2-1 ruling yesterday, the Hamilton County Court of Appeals reversed a lower court's decision and said the city's plan to semi-privatize its parking assets is not subject to a referendum and may move forward. Parking opponents are appealing the decision and pushing for a stay. For the city, the parking plan will potentially unlock millions of dollars over 30 years, including a $92 million upfront payment. But opponents argue the terms of the deal, which include increased parking meter rates and operation hours, will hurt downtown business. The ruling also returned the city's emergency clause powers, which the city says allow it to bypass a 30-day waiting period on implementing laws and make laws insusceptible to referendum.
City Council unanimously approved a development deal for Fourth and Race streets downtown to build a grocery store, luxury apartment tower and garage to replace Pogue's Garage. With council approval, construction could begin late this year, with developers hoping to finish in 2015. The deal will be headed by Indianapolis-based development company Flaherty and Collins. The city's share of the $80 million deal will be $12 million, paid for with a five-year forgivable loan financed by urban renewal funds, which are generated through downtown taxes and can only be used for downtown capital projects.

City Council unanimously approved a development deal today to
build a grocery store, luxury apartment tower and garage at Fourth and
Race streets downtown.
With council approval, construction could begin later this year, with developers hoping to finish the project in 2015.
The $80 million deal with Indianapolis-based development company Flaherty and Collins was approved following City Manager Milton Dohoney's urging earlier today.
"If we wait any longer on the parking deal, we put this deal at risk. With the housing capacity issue downtown and decade-long cry for a grocery store, we must move forward," Dohoney said in a statement.
The city's share of the project will cost $12 million. As part of the deal, the city will provide the money through a five-year forgivable loan financed by urban renewal funds, which are generated through downtown taxes and can only be used for capital projects downtown. The funds can't be used for operating budget expenses such as police and fire.
For more information on the project, read CityBeat's original story on the Budget and Finance Committee hearing here.
In a 7-0 vote today, City Council's Budget and Finance
Committee approved development plans for Fourth and Race streets to
build a downtown grocery store, 300 luxury apartments and a parking
garage to replace Pogue's Garage.
Following the city's $8.5 million purchase of the
property, the project will cost $80 million. The city
will provide $12 million through a five-year forgivable loan, and the
rest — $68 million — will come from private financing.
The committee hearing largely focused on the downtown grocery store, which Odis Jones, the city's economic development director, called the "next step" of the city's overall plans to invigorate residential space and drive down office vacancy downtown.
Development company Flaherty and Collins will oversee the grocery store project, which was originally attached to the city's plans to semi-privatize its parking assets.
The grocery store will be 15,000 square feet — slightly smaller than the Kroger store on Vine Street, which is about 17,000 square feet — and open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. It will be run by an independent operator, which is so far unnamed.
Flaherty and Collins CEO David Flaherty acknowledged it's "a compact space," but he said it will be enough space for a "full-service grocery store" with all the essentials, including fresh produce.
The grocery store will be at the base of a new, 30-story residential tower, which will include 300 luxury apartments and a pool.
Across the street, the city will replace Pogue's Garage, which city officials have long called an "eyesore," with a new garage.
The seven Democrats on City Council voted in favor of the plan, with Independent Councilman Chris Smitherman and Republican Councilman Charlie Winburn abstaining.
Democratic Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld questioned the funding sources for the project. City officials explained the $12 million loan will come through urban renewal bonds, which were previously set aside in an urban revival plan that encompasses all of downtown.
Jones said the money was going to a hotel-convention center deal when the city originally pitched the parking plan, but that deal has since collapsed.
City officials also noted the urban renewal fund, which is generated through downtown taxes, can only be used on capital improvement projects that support development and redevelopment downtown. Although the fund could be modified by City Council, it could never go to operating budget expenses such as police and fire.
Public dollars will go to the public garage, while private funds will carry the rest of the project.
The city's $12 million investment comes through a five-year forgivable loan, which means the city will get its money back if parts of the project, including the privately funded grocery store, fail to meet standards within five years. After the five years are over, the loan is forgiven and any failure would result in a total loss on the investment.
Smitherman, who opposed the city's parking plan, criticized the city administration for not presenting the current funding plan as an alternative to the parking plan: "What I'd like as a public policymaker is to see all of the options in front of me so that I can choose not just one option but maybe three options."
Sittenfeld also questioned Flaherty about two previous projects Flaherty and Collins undertook that went bankrupt. Flaherty said the bankruptcies were mostly related to the economic downturn of 2008, but admitted the bankruptcies forced the company to make changes.
The city estimates the project will produce 650 construction jobs and 35 permanent, full-time jobs.
For the city, the project is part of a much bigger plan
that includes getting 3,000-5,000 new residential units built
downtown in the next five years to meet rising demand.
"It's hot to be downtown right now," Jones said.
Jones explained the property would have cost Cincinnati millions of dollars regardless of the city's buyout and development plans because of a liability agreement the city made in the 1980s.
"When you start from
there and you gradually come up and look holistically at the project,
taking action was not only necessary, it was prudent," he said.

Even without the parking plan, the city passed a budget with no public safety layoffs and is moving forward with plans for the Uptown interchange project, a downtown grocery store, a new garage to replace Pogue's Garage, Wasson Way and the Smale Riverfront Park. The turnaround has prompted some critics to question whether city officials were being honest when they cited a list of potential problems if the city failed to semi-privatize its parking assets to raise funds, but Mayor Mark Mallory and supporters say a lot changed between the time the threats were made and now, including tax revenues coming in at $4.5 million better than projected.
The Columbus Dispatch says Gov. John Kasich has found himself "playing defense" in the current budget cycle — a sharp contrast to the budget cycle in 2011. Both the Ohio House and Senate have greatly changed Kasich's original budget plan. Instead of taking up Kasich on his plan to expand the sales tax while lowering the rate, cut income taxes by 20 percent across the board and cut small business taxes, the House approved a 7-percent across-the-board income tax cut and the Senate replaced the House plan with a tax cut aimed at small businesses. Both chambers also rejected the Kasich-backed, federally funded Medicaid expansion and the governor's education funding plan.
Democratic Councilman Chris Seelbach says he was yelled and sworn at for several minutes by Democratic mayoral candidate John Cranley's campaign manager following open questions about whether Cranley is still a Democrat. Cranley has long opposed the city's streetcar project and parking plan, which have both received support from a majority of Democrats in City Council, and tacitly supports Amy Murray, a Republican City Council candidate.

Local job numbers continued their positive trend in April, with Cincinnati's unemployment rate dropping to 6.9 percent and the rest of the region following suit. Michael Jones, research director at the University of Cincinnati Economics Center, attributed the job gains to improvements in manufacturing and continued growth in health care jobs. Still, the public sector continued to lag behind the private sector — a trend Jones says could change in the coming months as government budgets are adjusted to match higher tax revenues resulting from the recovering economy.
Downtown's population growth slowed last year as available housing failed to match demand, according to Downtown Cincinnati Inc.'s annual report. In the past few years, the city has pursued multiple actions to meet demand, particularly through public-private partnerships. Most recently, City Council approved leasing the city's parking assets to raise funds that would help build 300 luxury apartments, but that plan is currently being held up in court.
The second phase of The Banks riverfront project will cost $62 million, according to the report from Downtown Cincinnati Inc. That's smaller than the first phase, which cost $90 million. The second phase of the project is expected to begin this fall, and it should bring 300 apartments and 60,000 square feet of street-level retail space to the area by the end of 2015. The Banks also plans to build a $45 million hotel, which is also expected to be complete in 2015. The funding for the projects is coming through multiple public-private partnerships.
After the final
public hearing on the city budget Wednesday, Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan plans to introduce her own
budget plan that would avoid all city employee layoffs. A statement from Quinlivan
did not give much in the way of details: "My plan saves all city jobs
and restores all neighborhood programs. It requires common sense and
shared sacrifice of all city employees." Most recently, council members
Chris Seelbach and Roxanne Qualls co-sponsored a motion that would eliminate fire layoffs and reduce police layoffs to 25 by making cuts elsewhere.

I have an uneven suntan and I'd like to get rid of it right away. Is there a home remedy I can use to lighten the tan?
You can adopt a few remedial measures you can employ at home that will lighten skin that has darkened due to tanning. However, please keep in mind that there is nothing that can help to remove a tan overnight. This is a common fallacy that a tan can be removed in the space of one night. It will take at least a week for any kind of tan to be taken care of. If you want to remove your tan in less that a week, you can employ the harshest remedy to remove tan available. You can use bleach on your skin. But keep in mind that you will also at the same time be causing irreversible damage to your skin. Bleaching will also reduce the smoothness of your skin to a large extent. One of the easiest and fastest remedies to reduce darkness due to tanning is to apply buttermilk. You can also make your own buttermilk. Dilute a cup of yogurt in 2 liters of water and blend well. This can be rubbed on tanned skin and will show excellent results. You can also apply this to your skin as many times as you like. Since it s a completely natural and non invasive remedy, it has no negative side effects of any kind at all. You can also apply a paste made of fresh milk cream and saffron. Soak saffron in milk cream and steep overnight. Blend this in the morning with your fingers and apply. This will lighten your tan effectively. It has the added benefit of adding a glow to your skin as well! If you wish to sanitize your skin also, you can add a few drops of lime juice to this mix. It will also help to maintain the lightness of your skin.
Aloe vera gel is an excellent way to reduce the discoloration of your tanned skin. This method also works very quickly. Try and get leaves of the plant and press them for fresh gel. This is the best way to use aloe in its natural form. However, if you use aloe vera gel that comes in a tube from a store, this will also work equally well. Make it a point to apply this overnight. This is the best thing to do, since using aloe vera gel and going out in the sun can make your skin darker. Try these remedies and you can see results within a week.
I hate uneven suntans. I once got one before I had to go to a wedding — I was wearing a strapless dress and really didn't want strap marks to show. So I know how you feel, and get why you want to remove a tan quickly. The good news is that there are ways to fade a tan. Remember that you might not fade your tan completely, but you can help it out. Here's my best advice to lighten a tan quickly.
Be sure to exfoliate well. There are tons of over-the-counter products you can use that will help take off the top layer of skin. St. Ives makes a good exfoliating scrub. So does Boots. Some people like to create their own scrub out of salt and lemon juice. The lemon juice has properties that can lighten skin and might help fade a tan, but be careful because lemon juice can be drying. You want to keep your skin moisturized.
Never ever ever ever use something harsh like bleach in an effort to remove a tan quickly. You could cause irreversible damage to your skin.
I haven't tried any of the following home remedies, but they might help you fade your tan:
You can also do the exfoliating with a loofah or a textured washcloth. I really think that exfoliating is the best way to remove a tan quickly and that this will be effective for you.
Now, be sure to wear a sunscreen when you go out, so you don't risk any further tanning. I've hard a hard time with the spray sun blocks because they don't seem to go on evenly. Instead, I recommend using a sunscreen lotion and applying in front of a mirror. This is a good way to help you fade a tan.
