Cayuga Claim Back in Court Today
By Elizabeth Christensen
Manhattan – The Cayuga land claim case is heading back to court in Manhattan this morning.
The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments about the role of Seneca and Cayuga counties in the case.
The court will also decide whether 7,000 private landowners can name themselves as defendants.
Cayuga spokesman Clint Halftown calls the proceeding "another delay" in the case. He hopes the court will rule quickly so the land claim can proceed.
The Cayuga land claim was filed in 1980. The nation, which has no reservation of it's own, is seeking reparation for and land in a 64,000 acre area north of Cayuga Lake.

He graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from Castellon de la Plana and after graduation, moved to Barcelona where he collaborated with Santa & Cole. After developing a need to hone his creative skills, Jimenez went to Udine. There he set up his studio that collaborates with companies developing lighting and furniture. See other lights/products from Vicente Garcia JimenezEnrico FranzoliniEnrico Franzolini began his career as an artist and his work was known for its expression of sculptural elegance and an aesthetic refinement. He exhibited work at the Venice Biennale, as well as other exhibitions and galleries in the 1970s and then turned to design and received a degree in architecture in 1979. Like Vico Magistretti and many other designers in Italy, Franzolini has been active across the spectrum of creative fields from fine art to architecture to the various arts of the craftsman. He uses a variety of materials on both the large and small scale. Franzolini's work epitomizes the integrity, the technical innovation and the ingenious forms for which Italian design has long been admired. In addition to his pictorial research, he spreads his commitment between architecture and industrial design fields and over the years he has been collaborating with some of the most prestigious companies in the furniture industry such as Cappellini, Foscarini, Knoll International, Moroso, Pallucco.

Not just a light..a sculpture, conversation piece and just breathtaking
This is realy a one of a kind light. Not the kind of piece you would see everyday in peoples homes. Its a great conversation pice, adds a lot of sculptural value to any setting and just adds an awesome glow to the wall. When you walk into the room your eyes go straight to this piece. Somewhat expensive but certainly worth every penny. By:Arun G. , Homeowner (horseheads ny)
Its an exceptional light, one of those hard to find
However it requires professional installation, which even in NYC can be challenging. Remember this design duo - we will hear more about them! By:N.I.K. , Homeowner (New York)
Beautifully Designed, Looks Great!
We love our Big Bang light. We have it in our bedroom and it really makes a statement! The directions were clear and it was pretty easy to assemble as well. The only negative is that you need to take off the entire big bang part to change the light bulb and it is a bit complicated and time consuming. Overall this is a really nice looking and very functional light. By:Jose B. , Homeowner (Boston, MA)
not what I expected
It should be called the Small Bang. It looks bigger in the picture but even at 31" it looks small. Also people who see it think it was not expensive. Not what expected By:Jeff (Miami Beach )
This lamp is modern and very functional. When pepole come to us they really like it. It is great design for young people, and t is not so expensive.
By:ze , Architect (Karlovac, Croatia, Europe)
Better off than on
This light looks much better off than on. We have it in white in our dining room--it was chosen as a statement light that would not hang in front of picture windows--and the light it produces leaves a lot to be desired. First, the bottom slad in the design stays dark while the other slats glow, which gives it an odd look. Second, it produces a very harsh, almost blue, light given the material of the slats. It improved quite a bit with a dimmer, but still not ideal for the setting. Overall, I think this is proably a lot cooler on a wall for low level light than as a main ceiling light in a room. By:Droppedrod , Homeowner (Seattle)
Wonderful in the right space.
The light is unique, and in the right spot can work well. Setup wasn't too bad, maybe an hour. I would give it 5 stars except the light isn't suitable for a lower ceiling, < 10 ft. The bulb is visible from a distance and distracts from the blades below. By:Porter Y. , Homeowner
Beautiful fixture! Definitely makes a statement.
We mounted this in the lightwell of our bathroom skylight. It looks awesome. It's large so it fills the space and gives off great light. By:Lori K. , Homeowner (California)
This was a very nice product
we sold this fixture to one of our clients. as far as we know the client is very happy with the fixture. I do not know if it was installed yet but the client does have it. At this time we have no issues. By:Lighting D. , Designer (staten island, ny US)
Nice lamp
I received the lamp and it looks nice. I haven't installed it yet. By:Michael H. , Homeowner (Miami Beach)
Great By:HD SUPPLY POWER SOLUTIONS LTD (Florida)
Looks nice

Wood Magazine (Sept. 2011 issue) lined-up 11 portable air compressors, and the Makita MAC2400 came out on top.
Media: Wayne Hart Communications Manager Makita U.S.A. (714) 522-8088 x 4410 email@example.com
Consumer: (800) 4-MAKITA makitatools.com
Makita MAC2400 goes two-for-two in side-by-side reviews
It's rare that the press conducts side-by-side reviews of portable air compressors. But in this month alone, a respected online tool reviewer and a top woodworking publication both lined up a room full of air compressors to pick the best.
The Makita MAC2400 came out on top in both reviews.
Earlier this month toolmonger.com picked the Makita MAC2400 as "Best Overall" in a side-by-side review of eight jobsite compressors (go here for more).
This week, Wood Magazine released their portable air compressor review. Wood lined up 11 models from Bosch, Bostitch, Campbell Hausfeld, Craftsman, Dewalt, Hitachi, Husky, Makita, Porter-Cable, Ridgid, and Senco. In the end, the Makita MAC2400 came out on top as "Top Tool." The Wood Magazine editor particularly liked the low noise, robust cast-iron pump, and the induction motor for longer tool life.
While other manufacturers continue to focus on the lower-priced, light-duty category, Makita offers industrial quality air compressors built for all-day professional use. The MAC2400 and the rest of Makita's compressor line-up -- including the MAC700 and MAC5200 -- features durable cast iron (not aluminum) cylinder pumps, industrial motors for more power and increased efficency for lower RPM and lower noise, and a Big Bore™ piston for faster recovery.

> * '''`zoom-all-frames-in'''', '''`zoom-all-frames-out'''' (in <tt>[[zoom-frm.el]]</tt>) -- Incrementally zoom all frames at once, by changing the size of [[face]] `default'.
The most important info first. Here's how to change the default font in your InitFile: use M-x customize-face
to customize the default
' to see the font and fontset menu. Emacs starts with the startup fontset.M-x describe-font
' to see the requested font and actual font being used.'doremi-font'
in DoReMi to change the default font of a frame by cycling among the available fonts – just stop when you get to the font you want.'icicle-font'
in Icicles to do the same thing (cycle among fonts) – but with the added benefit of completion, including regexp matching.A simple way to change the default font is to put this in your init file:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font FONT)
where FONT
is a string naming the font you want, for example, "Droid Sans Mono-10"
. This should work on all platforms. As of Emacs 23, all of your system fonts including TrueType are available to Emacs.
(There needs to be an explanation for how to set fonts for particular modes or buffers here. Including a set-face-attribute hook as described above for a particular mode does not work; once you enter that mode the new font is set, but it is applied globally to all other open buffers!)
I found that the only way to set fonts so that they remain consistent across emacs -nw, emacs23(-gtk), emacsclient -t, emacsclient -c, was to declare them in .Xresources and .emacs. But the declarations can't conflict with each other. Otherwise, emacs --daemon complains. It doesn't like (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font FONT) and the like. For instance, to use Terminus, 9 pixel size across the board, I needed to insert
Emacs.font: Terminus-9
(set-default-font "Terminus-9")
in my ~/.Xresources and ~/.emacs, respectively.
You can resize (text-scale) the text in a buffer (in all windows showing it), or you can resize the default font of a frame.
Starting with GnuEmacs 23, you can zoom the text in the current buffer, in all frames displaying it:
C-x C-+
' and 'C-x C--'
) to increase or decrease the buffer text size (`C-+
' or 'C--'
to repeat). To restore the default (global) face height, type 'C-x C-0'
. 'S-mouse-1'
pops up a menu where you can choose these same actions.C-x C-+
' this does not scale the secondary font. For example, If you use a fontset – dejavu-sans-mono
for latin, NanumGothic_Coding
for hangul(Korean) – , increasing the text size does not scale the Korean characters. – cinsk 'zoom-in/out'
, 'zoom-in'
, 'zoom-out'
(in zoom-frm.el) – The first is a more general replacement for the vanilla command ('text-scale-adjust'
) bound by default to `C-x C-+
', 'C-x C--'
, 'C-x C-0'
, and `C-x C-=
'. You can bind the other two to mouse-wheel rotations, so you can use the wheel like you do in a Web browser. You can also use these same commands to zoom a frame (see below): 'C-u'
for each command toggles between buffer and frame zooming. And 'C-u'
while repeating toggles buffer/frame on the fly during 'zoom-in/out'
(in doremi-frm.el) – Change buffer font size incrementally using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel.You can use any of the following to increase or decrease the font size for the current frame, effectively resizing it incrementally – zooming the text in or out.
, 'zoom-in'
, 'zoom-out'
(in zoom-frm.el) – see above for the descriptions. For frame zooming these zoom all windows of the frame, and they do not affect the display in another frame of a buffer that is shown in the frame.'zoom-frm-unzoom'
(in zoom-frm.el) – Undo any frame zooming from 'zoom-in'
and 'zoom-out'
(in zoom-frm.el) – Alternately zoom a frame and unzoom it.'doremi-frame-font-size'
(in doremi-frm.el) – Change frame font size incrementally using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel.'enlarge-font'
(in frame-cmds.el) – Change font size by a given increment (prefix arg).'zoom-all-frames-in'
, 'zoom-all-frames-out'
(in zoom-frm.el) – Incrementally zoom all frames at once, by changing the size of face 'default'
.You can change the size of a font for the current frame non-incrementally using 'set-face-attribute'
with a :height
(set-face-attribute 'default (selected-frame) :height 100)
Alternatively, you can use 'set-frame-font'
, 'set-face-font'
, or 'set-face-attribute'
with a FONT
string argument that has the size you want:
"-outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
"-outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
(set-face-attribute 'default (selected-frame) :font "-outline-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-mono-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
If you are running Linux, you may be able to run `xfontsel` from a shell. This program helps you select a font. Once you've found one that you like, save the specification string. In my version, clicking the "select" button near the top left copies the string to my clipboard so I can yank (paste) it into Emacs.
Either set them in your InitFile:
(set-face-font 'menu "-jmk-neep alt-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1") (set-face-font 'default "-jmk-neep alt-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")
Or set them in your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file (depending on your setup):
*.font: -jmk-neep alt-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 Emacs.pane.menubar.font: -jmk-neep alt-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
Actually, you may want to specify FontSets instead of a single font, if you are interested in displaying various fonts at the same time
Debian users: if your emacs startup fonts look ugly, that might be because you've installed the gsfonts-x11 package. gsfonts-x11 gives X the ability to display Ghostscript fonts, and they are poorly rendered on screen. To fix this, read the document that comes with gsfonts-x11, or Section 9.4.13 of the Debian Reference, "TrueType fonts in X".
As an emacs newbie, I feel this section quite incomplete. For most people, Installing a font means two things :
The section covers only the second point. I am quite willing to agree that emacs does thing differently for a bunch of reason, but please give me some light. (Even to tell it is some sort of X dependency, which I suspect but that doesn't tell me what to do).
Note that arrived here after a search on "font" which, I think, seems quite a reasonable thing to do to install a new font. I didn't see a newbie-specific page. – LionelB
For downloading fonts and installing them, there's nothing Emacs-specific. Emacs uses your system's fonts. If you're using Emacs with X11, then use the X11 font installation technique (xset fp etc.). If you're using Emacs with X11/Xft, then use the Xft font installation technique (.fonts.conf). If you're using Emacs with MS Windows, then use the MS Windows font installation technique (Control Panel / Fonts). If you're using Emacs with Mac, then use the Mac font installation technique (Font Book / Add Fonts).
Is it possible to test if a given font is available without an error or other side-effects? I just wrote:
(defun font-existsp (font) (if (string-equal (describe-font font) "No matching font being used") nil t))
but it has the side-effect of opening a description in Help if the font exists. I'm trying to set my init files to try a series of fonts and use the first available one. (I'm using Emacs 22.1.2 on OpenBSD?, fwiw.) -ScottVokes?
I figured out a simpler way: (defun font-existsp (font) (if (null (x-list-fonts font)) nil t))
I use this:
(member font-name (font-family-list))
Also I use this:
(find-font (font-spec :name font-name))
And so..
(require 'cl) (defun font-candidate (&rest fonts) "Return existing font which first match." (find-if (lambda (f) (find-font (font-spec :name f))) fonts))
;; Emacs23 style font setting. (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font (font-candidate '"Consolas-10:weight=normal" "DejaVu Sans Mono-10:weight=normal"))
Version using dash.el (call it the same way as above):
(require 'dash) (defun font-candidate (&rest fonts) "Return the first available font." (--first (find-font (font-spec :name it)) fonts))
I'd like to use TrueType Fonts in Emacs in various places, but Emacs handles them badly. Can someone tell me why TTF fonts are so much trouble in Emacs, and if there's some way I could get emacs to play nicely with them anyway? --ShaeErisson
For TTF support, see XftGnuEmacs --TimotheeBesset
As of 23.3.1 TTF support is still quite defective (on Debian at least): for example, DejaVu? Sans Mono 11 is rendered at ~11.5pt, and 10pt is rendered at ~9.5pt. You'll need to set a font size of e.g. 102-108 tenths to actually get 10pt text.
Customize the default face (M-x customize-face RET default RET
Alternatively, follow the following procedure:
file: (set-default-font
M-x mac-font-panel-mode is not available on Emacs builds downloaded from http://emacsformacosx.com. On these builds, use the default Mac shortcut to popup the font panel, i.e, Command+T. Alternatively, use M-x ns-popup-font-panel. Then follow the instructions in the Carbon Emacs section.
From my personal experiences, there is no working-for-all-emacs solution for fontset. For current Emacs 24.x (from http://emacsformacosx.com/), below script can be one of the solution:
(when (eq system-type 'darwin)
;; default Latin font (e.g. Consolas) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "Consolas")
;; default font size (point * 10) ;; ;; WARNING! Depending on the default font, ;; if the size is not supported very well, the frame will be clipped ;; so that the beginning of the buffer may not be visible correctly. (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 165)
;; use specific font for Korean charset. ;; if you want to use different font size for specific charset, ;; add :size POINT-SIZE in the font-spec. (set-fontset-font t 'hangul (font-spec :name "NanumGothicCoding"))
;; you may want to add different for other charset in this way.
– cinsk
Anything is a candidate selection framework.
Start with 'M-x anything-select-xfont'
, narrow the font list by typing some patterns(multiple patterns are space-delimited string), select with up/down/pgup/pgdown/C-p/C-n/C-v/M-v, choose with enter,
C-z changes to selected font temporarily without quitting anything session.

Perfect helpful product
By clean little shorty
from honolulu, HI
My daughter is going to be 2. We already potty trained her, so i wanted to introduce her to washing her hands after "potty breaks". Its hard for her to reach the sink because shes so tiny, so we bought her this.step stool. This step stool is perfect for her. Height and width wise, it accomodates her tinyness. I recommend this out of all the step stools they have.
Right height

This step stool is higher than others. My 27 mo daughter can reach the sink to wash her hands. She couldn't reach with shorter stools. She can also climb onto the toilet with it safely too. It's steady and doesn't wobble.
love it!!!
By mom of 2
from bishop, tx
We use this for our potty but she uses for everything she can. Its light, high enough and wide enough for her unlike other stools I seen that arent that wide. Its well supported for her and shes comfortable for her to turn around while standing, which I thought she would be scared.
Fun, durable stool for my daughter
By New mommy
from Toledo, OH
I told my one year she couldn't get the stool if she didn't carry it to the register, so she did! It's very lightweight and the Sofia emblems make it all worth to any little princess. I also used it to hang pictures so I know it's very durable.

About Me Education Oriented, Parent
We use this product for our daughters to get in and out of their bed since it is pretty high. This stool is great as compared to other stools because it is higher than most, so it is easier for toddlers to reach what they need to.

The head fades relatively quickly, fading to leave a lighter level of streaky lace on the sides of the glass. Smell – The aroma is mainly of a grainy and bready smell mixed with aromas of some sweeter caramel and a bit of light fruits (banana, orange, and pear). Rounding out the aroma are some quite light but detectable aromas of some spice of clove and coriander as well as a yeasty cake aroma. Taste – The taste begins with a slightly grainy and moderately caramel sweetened flavor. As the taste advances some of the yeast and spice greet the tongue with the caramel fading but being replaced by some lighter fruit flavors of banana and citrus. More toward the end, a somewhat grassy flavor comes to the tongue as well as the grainy tastes seeming to amplify to some extent, with the mix of flavors in the end, leaving a rather nice clean and malty flavor to linger on the tongue. Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the average side for a brew of 5.4 % abv with a carbonation level that is on the average side as well. Both are rather nice for the blend of grainy malt, sweet, and lightly hopped flavors of the beer and make for a very easy drinking brew. Overall – A nice very easy drinking brew with some great blend of tastes making it a nice flavorful drinker.

Plan Cincinnati is expected to be approved by City Council Wednesday, according to Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls. The plan was unanimously approved by the Livable Communities committee last night. Plan Cincinnati, which is Cincinnati's first comprehensive plan in 30 years, emphasizes the city's urban center through new infrastructure, transportation options and goals to make downtown residents stay in the area. CityBeat previously covered the plan in greater detail here.
At the request of the sole Democrat on the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners, a vote on the 2013 budget is being delayed by one week. Commissioner Todd Portune asked Commission President Greg Hartmann, a Republican, for the vote delay to address funding to juvenile courts and plans for future financial stability. Hartmann agreed to the delay, noting consensus is important for budget issues. The budget won't raise taxes, but it could put 150 Hamilton County employees out of jobs.
Wastewater injection wells, which are used to dispose of fluids used during the fracking process, will soon be popping up around Ohio again. The wells are the first to get state approval since earthquakes around Youngstown in December were blamed on nearby wastewater injection wells. It's clear little — not even earthquakes — will stop Ohio's fracking boom, but at what cost? It is generally accepted switching from coal to natural gas would bring down pollution that causes global warming, but some findings from Australia suggest problems still lay ahead. One study found an abnormal amount of greenhouse gases around an Australian fracking site. Methane leakage in particular is a problem at natural gas sites because over 100 years methane is 25 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Cincinnati home sales shot up in October, according to the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors. The report paints a great picture for the city's housing economy. Housing was one of the biggest sectors hit by the financial crisis of 2007-2008, so a recovery in housing is a sign the economic downturn could soon be a thing of the past.
University of Cincinnati researchers want to know if testing emergency-room patients for HIV makes sense. ER doctors worry about longer wait times, disrupted operations and possible interference with emergency services, but the health benefits could outweigh the negatives.
FirstGroup America is looking into moving from its Cincinnati headquarters. The company originally got a million-dollar tax incentive from the city for moving to downtown.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich hopes his rejection of Obamacare's health exchanges will ignite some re-election fundraising. Kasich is up for re-election in 2014. Exchanges are subsidized, heavily regulated insurance markets that will go into effect in 2014 as part of Obamacare. They are supposed to bring down costs by offering more transparent, open competition through a fair, regulated marketplace. With Kasich's rejection, the federal government will manage Ohio's exchange.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted finally had a good day in court on Saturday. In a reversal from the lower court's ruling, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said ballots without proper identification should not be counted. It's estimated that, at most, the ruling will affect about 2,000 votes.

A new report from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio shows the impact of state budget cuts on individual counties. Statewide, more than $1 billion in tax reimbursements and the Local Government Fund was cut between the 2010-2011 budget, which was passed by Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, and the 2012-2013 budget, which was passed by Republican Gov. John Kasich. Additionally, Ohio's estate tax — a tax that affected only 8 percent of Ohioans, largely those at top income levels — was eliminated, killing off a crucial source of funding. Hamilton County, its jurisdiction, schools, services and levies lost $222.1 million. Health and human services lost $23.2 million. Children's services lost $4.6 million, and the county children's agency services "was sent into financial crisis." In total, more than 5,000 local government jobs were lost in the area.
The Center for Closing the Health Gap is launching a campaign to raise awareness about food deserts in Cincinnati. Food deserts are areas, particularly neighborhoods, where full-service grocery stores aren't readily available to residents. The campaign hopes to raise awareness and funding to combat the food deserts in the Cincinnati area. With a funding target of $15 million, the organization plans to help build smaller stores with close ties to the local communities.
A new study from Cincinnati Children's Hospital resurfaced Greater Cincinnati's nuclear weapons legacy. Between the 1950s and 1980s, residents of nearby farm communities were unaware they were being exposed to radioactive materials in the air, water and soil from a Cold War era nuclear weapons plant, located 18 miles northwest of Cincinnati. Apparently, the exposure has led to higher rates of systemic lupus in the area.
Greater Cincinnati's economic recovery could be slowed or boosted by policy, but it will outpace the nation's economic recovery, according to local economists. Still, the economists caution that there is a lot of uncertainty due to oil prices, the fiscal cliff — a series of tax hikes and budget cuts scheduled to be made at the start of 2013 if U.S. Congress doesn't act — and the fiscal crisis in Europe.
Cincinnati's small businesses are more upbeat about the economy. Eleven percent of local family firms expect the economy to improve, but whether that translates to business expansions remains to be seen.
CityLink Center is scheduled to open today. The initial plans for the facility sought to help the homeless with health services, overnight shelter, food, temporary housing and child care. At one point, the center's opening was threatened due to legal challenges regarding zoning.
Hostess, maker of Twinkies, says it will close down three bakeries, including one in Cincinnati, due to a national strike. According to reports, union workers walked off the job after a new contract cut their wages and benefits. Hostess insists the factory shutdowns will not affect customers.
Top Cincinnati mortgage lenders saw double-digit increases between Sept. 1, 2011 and Aug. 30, 2012. The rise is yet another positive sign for the housing market, which collapsed during the latest financial crisis and recession.
The state agency in charge of higher education released a report highlighting 20 recommendations to improve degree completion in Ohio. Some of the recommendations from the Board of Regents: Adopt more uniform statewide rules regarding college completion and career readiness, push stronger collaboration and alignment in education from preschool through senior year in college, establish a new system of high school assessment to improve readiness for college, and improve flexibility. The board will attempt to turn the report into reality in cooperation with university and state officials.
Too much school choice may be a bad thing. A new study found Ohio's varied education system, which offers vouchers for private schools and charter schools as alternatives to a traditional public school, may have passed "a point where choice actually becomes detrimental to overall academic performance."
The Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB) issued an action alert on Saturday telling members to oppose privatizing the Ohio Turnpike. The Ohio state government, led by Kasich, is currently studying possible plans to privatize the turnpike. In a video, an OFB member argues the current turnpike management is fine.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted is under fire for alleged voter suppression once again. In response to recent court rulings on provisional ballots, Husted sent out a directive on Nov. 2 that shifts the burden of proper identification during the provisional ballot process from poll workers to voters. The directive may not even be legal, according to a lawsuit quickly filed by voters' rights activists in response to the new rule: "Ohio Rev. Code § 3505.181(B)(6) provides that, once a voter casting a provisional ballot proffers identification, 'the appropriate local election official shall record the type of identification provided, the social security number information, the fact that the affirmation was executed, or the fact that the individual declined to execute such an affirmation and include that information with the transmission of the ballot.'"
President Barack Obama was at the University of Cincinnati yesterday to make a closing argument to Ohioans. In his speech, Obama compared his own ideas and policies to those of Bill Clinton, while comparing Mitt Romney's ideas and policies to those of George W. Bush. With just two days of voting left, all eyes are on Ohio as it could play the decisive role in the presidential election. In aggregate polling, Obama is up 2.9 points in Ohio and 0.4 points nationally. FiveThirtyEight, The New York Times' election forecast model, has Obama at an 86.8 percent chance to win Ohio and an 86.3 percent chance to win the election.
Early voters packed polling places around the state yesterday. The line around the Hamilton County Board of Elections wrapped around the entire building for much of the day. Butler County had a lot of early voters as well. Early voting was only available to all Ohioans yesterday thanks to a lawsuit from Obama and Democrats, which opened up in-person early voting during the weekend and Monday before Election Day despite strong opposition from state Republicans.
Election Day may be tomorrow, but the entire process may not be finished at the end of the day. In 2008, Ohio took weeks to count the last 490,852 ballots.

The last debate for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat took place last
night. The debate between Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and
Republican challenger Josh Mandel mostly covered old ground, but the
candidates did draw contrasting details on keeping Social Security
solvent. Mandel favored raising the eligibility age on younger generations, while Brown favored
raising the payroll tax cap. Currently, Brown leads
Mandel in aggregate polling by 5.2 points.
Mitt Romney was in town yesterday. In his speech, he
criticized the president's policies and campaign rhetoric and touted
support for small businesses. The Cincinnati visit was the first stop of
a two-day tour of Ohio, which is the most important swing state in the
presidential race. But senior Republican officials are apparently
worried Romney has leveled off in the state, which could cost Romney the
Electoral College and election. President Barack Obama is
expected to visit Cincinnati on Halloween. In aggregate polling, Obama
is ahead in Ohio by 2.1 points, and Romney is up nationally by 0.9
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio says the
use of seclusion rooms in Ohio schools should be phased out
by 2016. The Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Board of Education
are currently taking feedback on a new policy draft that says schools
can only use seclusion rooms in cases of "immediate threat of physical
harm," but the policy only affects traditional public schools, not
charter schools, private schools or educational service centers.
Seclusion rooms are intended to restrain children who become violent,

The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati and a City Council task force have a plan to make Cincinnati's water infrastructure a little greener.
A study found Cincinnati hospitals are good with heart patients but not-so-good with knee surgery. The names of the hospitals that were looked at were not revealed in the study, however.
An economist at PNC Financial Services Group says 10,000 jobs will be added in Cincinnati in 2013.
Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble has new details about its effort to reduce costs and make operations more productive. The company announced a "productivity council" that will look at "the next round of productivity improvements." The company also said it will reach 4,200 out of 5,700 job cuts by the end of October as part of a $10 billion restructuring program announced in February.
The world just got a little sadder. Chemicals in couches could be making people fatter.
On the bright side, we now know how to properly butcher and eat a triceratops.
As cities rush to solve major problems with water infrastructure, newer technologies are being touted by city agencies as cheaper, cleaner solutions. In two different local projects, the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) and a City Council task force are looking into green ways to solve the city's water needs.
On Wednesday, CityBeat covered some of the benefits and downsides of green water infrastructure. According to the report reviewed Wednesday, green water infrastructure is cheaper and does create a boon of jobs, but it faces some funding and education problems. However, it was unclear how the green ideas would translate into Cincinnati.
Tony Parrott, executive director of MSD, says despite the challenges, green infrastructure is clearly the cheaper option. The organization is partnering with local organizations to adopt a series of new projects — among them, green roofs, rain gardens, wetlands — to meet a new federal mandate that requires MSD to reduce the amount of sewer overflow that makes it into local rivers and streams.
"That is a very costly mandate," he says. "Our belief is that green infrastructure and sustainable infrastructure will allow us to achieve a lot of those objectives a lot cheaper than your conventional deep tunnel systems or other gray type of infrastructure."
Of course, conventional — or "gray" — infrastructure still
has its place, but adopting a hybrid of green and gray infrastructure
or just green infrastructure in some areas was found to be cheaper in
MSD analyses, according to Parrott.
Plans are already being executed. On top of the smaller projects that slow the flow of storm water into sewer systems, MSD is also taking what Parrott calls a "large-scale approach to resurrect or daylight former streams and creeks that were buried over 150 years ago." This approach will rely on the new waterways to redirect storm water so it doesn't threaten to flood sewers and cause sewer overflow, Parrott says.
The programs are being approached in a "holistic way," according to Parrott. MSD intends to refine and reiterate on what works as the programs develop. However, that comes with challenges when setting goals and asking for funding.
"We think that if you're going to use a more integrated approach, it may require us to ask for more time to get some of these projects done and in the ground and then see how effective they are," Parrott says.
If it all plays out, the ongoing maintenance required by the green approach could be good for the local economy, according to Parrott: "With the green and sustainable infrastructure, you're creating a new class of what we call green jobs for maintenance. The majority of those jobs are something local folks can do as opposed to the conventional process." Additionally, the green jobs also tend to benefit "disadvantaged communities" more than conventional jobs, according to Parrott.
The argument is essentially what Jeremy Hays, chief strategist for state and local initiatives at Green For All, told CityBeat on Wednesday. Since the green jobs require less education and training, they're more accessible to "disadvantaged workers," according to Hays: "They require some training and some skills, but not four years' worth because it's skills that you can get at a community college or even on the job."
While MSD fully encourages the use of rain barrels, recycling will not be a top priority for MSD's programs. Instead, that priority goes to the Rainwater Harvesting Task Force, a City Council task force intended to find ways to reform the city's plumbing code to make harvesting and recycling rainwater a possibility.
Bob Knight, a member of the task force, says there is already a model in place the city can use. The task force is looking into adopting the International Green Construction Code (IGCC) in Cincinnati. The code will "prescriptively tell" architects and engineers how to design a rainwater harvesting system. In other words, IGCC would set a standard for the city.
Deciding on this code was not without challenges. At first, the task force wasn't even sure if it could dictate how rainwater is harvested and recycled. The first question Knight had to ask was, "Who has that authority?" What it found is a mix of local agencies — Greater Cincinnati Water Works, MSD and Cincinnati Department of Planning — will all have to work together to implement the city's new code.
The task force hopes to give its findings to Quality of Life Committee, which is led by Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, by the end of November.
Ohioans might not give it much thought outside of paying the water bill, but better water infrastructure can make cities more efficient, healthier and cleaner. That's why Green For All, a group that promotes clean energy initiatives, is now focusing on cleaner, greener water infrastructure.
A little-known green conference took place in Cincinnati Oct. 15-17. The Urban Water Sustainability Leadership Conference was in town on those three days, and it brought together leaders from around the U.S. to discuss sustainable water programs for cities. The conference mostly focused on policy ideas, success stories and challenges faced by modern water infrastructure.
For Green For All, attending the conference was about establishing one key element that isn't often associated with water and sewer systems: jobs. Jeremy Hays, chief strategist for state and local initiatives at Green For All, says this was the focus for his organization.
Hays says it's important for groups promoting better water infrastructure to include the jobs aspect of the equation. To Hays, while it's certainly important for cities to establish cleaner and more efficient initiatives, it's also important to get people back to work. He worries this side of water infrastructure policies are "often left out."
He points to a report released by Green For All during last year's conference. The report looked at how investing the $188.4 billion suggested by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to manage rainwater and preserve water quality in the U.S. would translate into economic development and jobs: "We find that an investment of $188.4 billion spread equally over the next five years would generate $265.6 billion in economic activity and create close to 1.9 million jobs."
To accomplish that robust growth and job development, the report claims infrastructure would have to mimic "natural solutions." It would focus on green roofs, which are rooftop areas with planted vegetation; urban tree planting; rain gardens, which are areas that use vegetation to reduce storm water runoff; bioswales, which are shallow, vegetated depressions that catch rainwater and redirect it; constructed wetlands; permeable pavements, which are special pavements that allow water to pass through more easily; rainwater harvesting, which uses rain barrels and other storage devices to collect and recycle rainwater; and green alleys, which reduce paved or impervious surfaces with vegetation that reduces storm water runoff.
The report says constructing and maintaining these sorts of programs would produce massive growth, especially in comparison to other programs already supported by presidential candidates and the federal government: "Infrastructure investments create over 16 percent more jobs dollar-for-dollar than a payroll tax holiday, nearly 40 percent more jobs than an across-the-board tax cut, and over five times as many jobs as temporary business tax cuts."
Hays says the jobs created also don't have barriers that keep them inaccessible to what he calls "disadvantaged workers": "A lot of these jobs that we're focused on in infrastructure, especially green infrastructure, are much more accessible. They require some training and some skills, but not four years' worth because it's skills that you can get at a community college or even on the job."
Beyond jobs, Green For All supports greener infrastructure due to its health benefits. Hays cited heat waves as one example. He says the extra plants and vegetation planted to support green infrastructure can help absorb heat that's typically contained by cities.
Hays' example has a lot of science to stand on. The extra heating effect in cities, known as the urban heat island effect, is caused because cities have more buildings and pavements that absorb and contain heat, more pollution that warms the air and fewer plants that enable evaporation and transpiration through a process called evapotranspiration. The EPA promotes green roofs in order to help combat the urban heat island effect.
Hays says green infrastructure also creates cleaner air because trees capture carbon dioxide and break it down to oxygen. The work of the extra trees can also help reduce global warming, although Hays cautions that the ultimate effect is probably "relatively small."
But those are only some of the advantages Hays sees in green infrastructure. He says green infrastructure is more resilient against volatile weather events caused by global warming. With green infrastructure, storm water can be managed by systems that collect and actually utilize rainwater to harvest clean water. Even in a world without climate change, that storm water management also reduces water contamination by reducing sewer overflow caused by storm water floods, according to Hays.
However, green infrastructure is not without its problems. Hays acknowledges there are some problems with infrastructure systems that require more year-over-year maintenance: "The green and conventional approach is more cost effective over time, but the way you have to spend money is different. So we need to look at the way we finance infrastructure, and make sure we keep up with innovative technologies."
Specifically, green infrastructure relies less on big capital investments and more on ongoing maintenance costs. Hays insists the green infrastructure saves money in the long term with efficiency and by making more use out of natural resources, and the Green For All report supports his claim. But it is more difficult to get a city or state legislator to support long-term funding than it is to get them to support big capital expenditures, Hays says.
Education is also a problem. To a lot of people, the green infrastructure on rooftops and other city areas might seem like "pocket parks," says Hays. But these areas are nothing like parks; they are meant to absorb and collect rainwater. If the public isn't educated properly, there could be some confusion as to why the supposed "pocket parks" are flooded so often. Providing that education is going to be another big challenge for public officials adopting green infrastructure, according to Hays.
So what, if anything, is Cincinnati doing to adopt these
technologies? In the past, city legislators have looked into rainwater
harvesting systems, but not much information is out there. On Thursday, CityBeat will talk to city officials to see how Cincinnati is moving forward.
In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here.
The first of three debates for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat is
today. Incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh
Mandel will meet for the first time to prove who has the better vision
for the state. Democrats have repeatedly criticized Mandel for
dishonesty and dodging questions. Republicans have criticized Brown for
supporting President Barack Obama's policies, including the auto bailout
and Obamacare. A more substantive analysis of the candidates'
differences can be found here. In aggregate polling, Brown currently
leads by five points. The debate will be at 12:30 p.m. on C-SPAN.
Paul Ryan, the Republican candidate for vice president, will be in Cincinnati today. Ryan's event will take place at Lunken Airport at noon. Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, was in Lebanon Saturday. With the second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Romney tomorrow, both campaigns are turning up the events in Ohio, a state that is widely considered a must-win for both candidates. According to aggregate polling, Obama still holds Ohio by 2.2 points despite a nationwide post-debate bounce in the polls for Romney.
Bicyclists rejoiced Saturday as McMillan Street was converted back into a two-way street. William Howard Taft Road will undergo a similar transition Oct. 20. The conversion of both roads came thanks to the approval of Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who pushed the motion in order to revitalize the business sector in the neighborhood.
The rest of Ohio's school report card data will be released Wednesday. The report card data grades schools to see how school districts are doing in a variety of categories. The release for the data was initially delayed due to an ongoing investigation by the state auditor that's looking into accusations of attendance reporting fraud at some school districts. Previously, the state auditor released preliminary findings criticizing some school districts and the Ohio Department of Education for some findings regarding attendance fraud.
A new report found Cincinnati still has a lot of work to do. The city ranked No. 10 out of 12 similar cities. Cincinnati excelled in job creation and housing opportunities, but it did poorly in categories regarding migration and age.
Bob Taft, former Republican governor of Ohio, is going green. The Ohio Environmental Council is rewarding Taft for standing up for the environment during his gubernatorial term.
Ohio's stricter laws for exotic animals convinced one pet owner to move her two tigers to Indiana.
Some guy broke the sound barrier with his body yesterday.
Next month, the state's most important environmental/conservation organization plans to give Taft its award for lifetime achievement as a consistent backer of policies and programs for clean air and water. So the governor who skipped his green fees is being recognized as Mr. Green. The Ohio Environmental Council says it will bestow the honor Nov. 10 at its annual "Green Gala" in Columbus.
Taft is being seen in hindsight as the kind of R who wasn't afraid of standing up for the environment. That is a rarity in today's GOP, where Rush Limbaugh routinely denounces tree-huggers as enviro-fascists, and the EPA is widely portrayed as a jobs-killing hydra. Of course, few remember that Republican President Richard Nixon created the EPA. Nor do they seem to recollect that Teddy Roosevelt — when he wasn't hunting elephants or elk — is the patriarch of the national park system.
Taft gets credit for taking on his own party, which recently considered tapping water from the Great Lakes. He had supported strict limits on withdrawing water from Great Lakes feeder streams for industrial and mining purposes — those streams replenished Lake Erie. Taft believed the Great Lakes were resources that needed more protection from special interests; they did not need more abuse and exploitation.
Taft also favored reauthorization of the federal Clean Water Act, and he wanted Superfund legislation fixed to add so-called "brown fields," which were old industrial sites that could be cleaned and put back into use as commercial real estate. He supported an energy policy that would have 25 percent of all U.S. energy coming from renewable sources by 2025. He pushed natural gas companies to set aside funds to help low income families pay their heating bills.
As far back as 2003, Taft was urging governors and Congress to take drastic action to stop the spread of the Asian carp, the giant jumping fish that now are in the Ohio River near Cincinnati. He called such invasive species "perhaps the most serious and potentially destructive threat" to Ohio's natural ecosystem. His warning about all the invaders came too true. Since then, Emerald Ash Borers have appeared and destroyed too much of Ohio's forestland. And Asian longhorn beetles are on the march in Clermont County, where the Department of Natural Resources and Forest Service have drawn battle lines against the pest. Taft worried about water pollution, too. He said too many beaches were closed from bacteria and sewage, and he saw the solution as "not better information about when to close the beach, it's not having to close the beach in the first place."
So Taft is getting a thoughtful reappraisal. He may have been comfortable at play on the country clubs. But his reputation is coming back from low ebb.
According to emails and phone calls received by WWVA-AM West
Virginia talk show host David Blomquist, miners said they were told that
attendance at the Romney event would be mandatory and unpaid.
As first reported by The Plain Dealer in Cleveland on Tuesday, mine owner Murray Energy Chief Financial Officer Rob Moore told Blomquist that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend." He said that people who did now show up to the event, which organizers say drew 1,500 miners and family members, were not penalized for their absence.
Blomquist said during the radio show that current and former
employees had called and emailed him saying they feel they were forced to go,
had to take off a day without pay and a roll call was taken, which caused some
employees to believe they would lose their jobs if they didn't show up.
"Just for the record, if we did not go, we knew what would happen," Blomquist read from an email he had received. "It is wrong what we were made to do because of the outcome if we don't."
The Columbus Dispatch reported that Murray Energy Corp.
founder Robert Murray attended the Tuesday breakfast hosted by the Ohio delegation to the Republican National Convention. Murray told the newspaper that the decision to
close the mine was made at the request of the Secret Service.
Murray disputed the report that miners weren't paid for the day, saying they were compensated for the hours they spend underground, from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. The mine was re-opened for a second shift at 4 p.m.
"They were all there voluntarily," Murray said of the miners
who attended the Romney event, which was also attended by Republican U.S.
Senator Rob Portman and Ohio Treasurer and Senate candidate Josh Mandel.
"You don't pay people to go voluntarily to a political event. If I would've paid them you would be saying you want it the other way. This is all a bunch of nonsense," Murray told The Dispatch. Federal law prohibits the paying of private employees to attend a political event.
Murray blames layoffs at some of his mines on Obama's
policies. His companies have had a history of environmental and safety violations,
and its Political Action Committee has held fundraisers for and donated to
Republican causes.
Romney's Ohio campaign spokesman disputed that the Secret Service had the mine shut down, telling The Dispatch in an email that "It was Murray Energy's decision to close the Century Mine, not the campaign's or the Secret Services." His comment echoes what Murray CFO Moore said on the radio show, that management wanted to attend the event and they couldn't have miners underground without management present.
For his part, radio host Blomquist took issue with the fact that
the miners lost out on a full eight hours of pay because of a political event.
"My whole point is that nobody should be pressured into attending anyone's political event," he told The Plain Dealer. "If they shut the mine down, why should they lose a day's pay? There are some guys that just want to go to work, feed their family and go home."
