"Americans drive fewer total miles today than we did eight years ago, and fewer per person than we did at the end of Bill Clinton's first term," the report reads. "The unique combination of conditions that fueled the Driving Boom — from cheap gas prices to the rapid expansion of the workforce during the Baby Boom generation — no longer exists. Meanwhile, a new generation — the Millennials — is demanding a new American Dream less dependent on driving."
The report also says U.S. transportation policy "remains stuck in the past" and needs to "hit the 'reset' button."
The report, which uses U.S. Department of Transportation data from 2012, found Americans were driving about 9,000 miles a year per person in 2012, down from a peak of nearly 10,000 in 2004. Until the peak, Americans had been driving more miles each year since the end of World War II.
The report finds the driving trend at odds with other means of transportation: "On the other hand, Americans took nearly 10 percent more trips via public transportation in 2011 than we did in 2005. The nation also saw increases in commuting by bike and on foot."
The report attributes much of the shift to millennials, members of the generation born between 1983 and 2000, which the report says are more likely to demand public transportation and urban and walkable neighborhoods. The new expectations are largely driven by Internet-connected technologies, which are "rapidly spawning new transportation options and shifting the way young Americans relate to one another, creating new avenues for living connected, vibrant lives that are less reliant on driving," according to the report.
PIRG finds the trend will likely stick as gas prices continue to rise, fewer Americans participate in the labor force and Americans demands less time spent in travel.
Even if millennials begin driving more in the future, the report's findings show Americans are going to be driving much less in 2040 than federal agencies currently assume. "This raises the question of whether changing trends in driving are being adequately factored into public policy," the report reads.
The report concludes local, state and federal governments should react to the new trend by planning for uncertainty, accommodating millennials' demands, reviewing the need for more highway projects, adapting federal priorities, using transportation funds based on cost-benefit analyses and conducting more transportation research.
For Cincinnati, the trend could have implications for two major transportation projects: the MLK/I-71 Interchange and the streetcar.
The streetcar project uses capital funding sources — some uniquely tied to mass transit projects — that some opponents argue should be reallocated to support the MLK/I-71 Interchange project.
But the report's findings seem to support the city's current plans to push forward with mass transit projects like the streetcar, even while local funding for the MLK/I-71 Interchange project remains uncertain.
After making changes based on feedback from public meetings, the Ohio Department of Transportation priced the interchange project at $80 million to $102 million, or $10 million to $32 million higher than the previous estimate of $70 million.
The higher price didn't lead to the same outcry that resulted from the streetcar project's $17.4 million cost overrun, likely because of the interchange project's broader support, secure state funding and feedback-driven circumstances.
Still, the city could share some of the higher cost burden for the MLK/I-71 Interchange project. Previously, the city planned to use funds raised by leasing its parking assets to the Port Authority for the interchange, but that plan is currently being held up in court.
In 2012, the city adopted Plan Cincinnati, the city's first master plan since 1980. The plan advocates for more alternative methods of public transportation, particularly light rail and bike lanes. But the master plan does not establish means of funding, so City Council will have to approve funding over time to implement the plan.
The city confirmed today that Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig will be leaving Cincinnati to take a job in Detroit. During Craig's time, the city experienced a significant drop in crime. City officials praised Craig for his attempts to forge better ties between the Cincinnati Police Department and local communities, particularly by establishing the External Advisory Committee, a group of active local community members and business leaders that gives advice on the police department's policies and procedures. City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. said the city will begin a nationwide search for Craig's replacement tomorrow.
Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) is selling the Anna Louise Inn to Western & Southern for $4 million, and CUB will be relocating the Inn's services to Mount Auburn. Many Anna Louise Inn supporters are taking the sale as a sign Western & Southern won, while others are glad the extensive legal battles are finally over. The sale came after years of Western & Southern obstructing the planned renovations for the Anna Louise Inn through court battles and other legal challenges, which CityBeat covered here. In a Q&A with The Cincinnati Enquirer, Western & Southern CEO John Barrett reflected on the events, saying his company took the "high road" throughout the controversy — a claim many Anna Louise Inn supporters dispute.
City Council grilled Dohoney yesterday over fixing the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap and whether paying for the cost overruns to save the project is worth it. Supporters of the streetcar pushed questions and comments that touted the streetcar project's return on investment, which was further supported by Dohoney's testimony and previous studies from HDR, a consulting firm, and the University of Cincinnati. Opponents suggested the cost overruns were too much and the project, which now stands at $133 million, is too expensive. A final decision is expected by the end of May. The streetcar project's funding comes from the capital budget, which can't be used to fix the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits established in state law.
The city and county governments are clashing over the city's hiring policies for companies bidding on the Metropolitan Sewer District's (MSD) construction projects. The city's laws require construction firms to have apprenticeship programs, which the city says promotes job training on top of employment. But the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners claims the requirements aren't feasible and put too much of a strain on companies. Democratic Commissioner Todd Portune questioned why the city's policy only applies to MSD and not other local government agencies.

A Catholic teacher union will not support Carla Hale, a gay Columbus-area teacher who was fired after she named her girlfriend in an obituary for her mother. Hale says she was fired over her sexuality, but the Catholic Church says she was fired for revealing a "quasi-spousal relationship" outside of marriage. The Catholic Church opposes same-sex marriage, which means all gay couples are in a non-marital relationship under the Church's desired policies.
The Internal Revenue Service scandal, which involves IRS officials unfairly scrutinizing conservative groups, is now nationwide. Previous reports pinned the practice on a Cincinnati field office, but numerous IRS offices around the country, including one in Washington, D.C., were found to be guilty of the practice in documents acquired by The Washington Post.

At a Budget and Finance Committee meeting today, City Council members grilled City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. on how the city will fix the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap and whether paying for the cost overrun to save the project is worth it.
Supporters of the streetcar pushed questions and comments that suggested the streetcar will provide the city with a large return on investment, which was supported by Dohoney's testimony and previous studies from HDR, a consulting firm, and the University of Cincinnati ("Back on the Ballot," issue of Jan. 23).
Opponents suggested the cost overruns were too much, and the project, which the city manager said now stands at an estimated $132 million to $133 million, is too expensive.
In a memo issued April 30, Dohoney recommended various capital funding sources to fix the streetcar budget gap, including a temporary reallocation of Music Hall renovation funds and money that would have otherwise gone to infrastructure projects around the Horseshoe Casino.
Dohoney clarified that funding for Music Hall is not being permanently pulled; instead, his recommendations would delay Music Hall funding until 2016, which is when the Music Hall project will need the funds, and use currently allocated funding on the streetcar project.
Dohoney added that Otto Budig, president of the Music Hall Revitalization Company, raised no concerns about the streetcar plan after it was explained to him.
Dohoney also clarified that his recommendations would not raise taxes.
A few council members, particularly Councilman Chris
Seelbach, asked whether the streetcar project could face future cost
overruns. Dohoney said it's possible, based on the project's scope.
"For major projects like this … there is usually an anticipation that something other than the exact plan may occur somewhere along the line," Dohoney said.
For the streetcar project, there are a few remaining uncertainties. Dohoney said he doesn't know for certain whether Messer
Construction, which responded to the city's bid process with the lowest construction bid, is still willing
to contract with the city under the terms it previously offered. He said Messer officials have indicated they are still interested, but it remains an uncertainty until a contract is in place.
Another uncertainty is exactly how much laying down the tracks will cost. Dohoney said it won't be possible to gauge the exact cost until Messer or any other company contracts with the city and begins actual work on the project.
But for those situations, Dohoney said the streetcar project has a $10 million contingency fund available, as required by the federal government.
Councilman Chris Smitherman, who opposes the streetcar project, asked whether there's a funding ceiling that, if breached, would make Dohoney stop supporting the streetcar project. Dohoney said he could not provide a number without further thought and analysis. When Smitherman later asked if the streetcar should be built at any cost, Dohoney said no.
When asked what would happen if the project's cost overruns were not covered, Dohoney said the project would effectively end.
Smitherman asked how the city administration can be pushing forward with the project, given the cost overruns: "How is the administration continuing to move forward with a project that without a vote of council is dead?"
Dohoney responded by saying the city administration does not have to stop by law until it is directed to do so by City Council.
Ending the project would come with its own costs of about $72 million, according to Dohoney: $19.7 million that was already spent, $14.2 million in close-out costs and $38.1 million in federal grants that would have to be returned to the federal government.
Dohoney said stopping would also make the federal government reluctant about working with Cincinnati in the future: "They've let us know they would not be pleased if we did it."
The city administration is currently working with the federal government to obtain another $5 million that could be used for contingency or to undo some of the overrun fixes being looked at, but federal officials are waiting to see how the city government reacts to the current cost overrun problems before a decision is made, according to Dohoney.
Much of the City Council discussion focused on the streetcar's merits,
particularly whether the first phase of the project, which would run
from The Banks to just north of Findlay Market, could be successful on its own. The
city plans to eventually expand the route to the University of
Cincinnati and hospitals uptown — a route originally part of the first phase of the streetcar project that was cut after Gov. John Kasich pulled $52 million in state-distributed federal funding in 2011.
"If the intent of the streetcar would only be to go from The Banks to just north of Findlay Market, then I never would have said it's a project worth doing," Dohoney said. "The intention has always been to connect the two major employment centers of the city and go beyond that."
But Dohoney later clarified that the first phase of the project would help invigorate hundreds of vacant lots and buildings in Over-the-Rhine, which he said would make that phase of the project a success by itself.
Some opponents of the streetcar have incorrectly attempted to tie the streetcar project to the city's $35 million operating budget deficit, which will likely be closed in part by laying off cops, firefighters and other city employees. But the streetcar project's funding comes from the capital budget, which can't be used to balance the operating budget because of limits established in state law.
City Council's Budget and Finance Committee is set to discuss the plan to close the streetcar budget gap today, which was proposed by City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. on April 30. The plan borrows funding from various capital funding sources, including a temporary reallocation of Music Hall funds and money from infrastructure projects surrounding the Horseshoe Casino. None of the funding pulled can be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit, which is leading to cop and firefighter layoffs, because of limits established in state law between capital budgets and operating budgets.
A group of bipartisan Ohio legislators proposed bills in the Ohio House and Ohio Senate that would change the state's anti-discrimination law to cover gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities. The measures would add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the state's anti-discrimination law, joining 21 other states and the District of Columbia, which already have similar laws.The bills have to be approved by the Republican-controlled General Assembly and Republican Gov. John Kasich to become law.
Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) is making changes to prevent attendance data scrubbing following an audit in February
that criticized CPS for the practice. The school district says internal
investigations found no employees intentionally scrubbed data, but the
changes being made should help prevent further problems in the future. The
state auditor's February report seemed to blame state policy over
individual school districts for the findings. Attendance data scrubbing
can make schools look much better in state reports, which could lead to
increased funds or less regulatory scrutiny from the state.
An audit revealed that the IRS targeted tea party groups that were critical of government and attempted to educate people on the U.S. Constitution. The extra scrutiny originated at a Cincinnati field office.

City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. gave his suggestions for fixing the streetcar budget gap Tuesday, and CityBeat analyzed the details here. The suggestion, which include temporarily using front-loaded Music Hall funds and pulling money from other capital projects, are capital budget items that can't be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits in state law, so if City Council approved the suggestions, the streetcar would not be saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other city employees being laid off to balance the operating budget.
Ohio Senate Republicans seem unlikely to take up so-called "right to work" (RTW) legislation after it was proposed in the Ohio House. RTW legislation prevents unions and employers from making collective bargaining agreements that require union membership to be hired for a job, significantly weakening a union's leverage in negotiations by reducing membership. Since states began adopting the anti-union laws, union membership has dropped dramatically around the nation. Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, were quick to condemn the RTW bills and compare them to S.B. 5, a 2011 bill backed by Republican Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Republicans that would have limited collective bargaining powers for public employees and significantly reduced public sector unions' political power.

City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. released a memo yesterday detailing how the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap could be fixed by pulling funds from various capital projects and issuing more debt, upholding a promise he made at a contentious City Council meeting Monday.
The five-page memo says none of the proposed capital funding sources can be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of limits established in state law, which means the streetcar project is not being saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other city employees being laid off to balance the operating budget.
"Neither Capital nor TIF funds can be used to help with the operating budget deficit that the City is facing," the memo reads. "They are separate sources of funds and by State Law, cannot be used for operating expenses like police and fire personnel."
At least $5.4 million would be temporarily pulled from the $10.6 million planned for the Music Hall renovation project, but the redirected Music Hall funds would eventually come back in capital budgets for fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. City spokesperson Meg Olberding explained in an email that moving funds around would not hinder the Music Hall project.
"The use of $5.4 million of Funds set aside for Music Hall this year is money currently sitting in a fund for this year that will not be needed this year," she wrote. "Funds for Music Hall will not be needed until 2016, the agreed upon deadline for fundraising for the Music Hall renovation with the Music Hall Revitalization Company. Therefore, the City is still keeping its commitment to Music Hall, while also advancing the streetcar project."
About $6.5 million would be taken from infrastructure projects surrounding the Horseshoe Casino, including funds that would otherwise go to lighting the trees along Reading Road and a study that would look at adding a turn lane from Reading Road. The memo acknowledges the trade-off, but it also justifies the redirected spending: "However, since the Streetcar passes within two blocks of the Casino Site, it is a project within the Casino Area that both benefits the TIF District and the Casino."
The memo also recommends pulling $400,000 that was originally set for traffic signal replacement, which would be used for the traffic replacement component of the streetcar project.
Another $500,000 would come from funding currently set for water main relocation and replacement. The memo says the water main funding is simply Water Works' share: "Of the $21.7 million cost overrun for the Streetcar project, approximately $1 million was for water main relocation (and) replacement work. Water Works' share of this is $0.5 million."
The remaining $4.6 million would come from the city issuing general capital debt, which would be paid back through a small portion of the income tax that is established in the City Charter for permanent improvement purposes. The memo acknowledges this would cost other economic development and housing projects $340,000 a year over the next 20 years, but it claims the funding is justified because the streetcar project is a permanent improvement project.
The memo outlines other vague capital funding options that could be used to balance the budget, but Dohoney does not explicitly recommend them.
The memo also leaves open the possibility of future sources of funding, including $15 million that could be opened up if the city prevails in court against Duke Energy over who has to pay for moving utility lines to accommodate streetcar tracks — but this was money that was originally supposed to go to neighborhood development projects — and the sale of remaining city-owned land at the Blue Ash Airport.
City Council still has to consider and approve the memo's recommendations for them to become law.
Two Ohio House Republicans are preparing to introduce so-called "right to work" (RTW) legislation, a deceptively named type of law that would ban collective bargaining agreements between unions and employers that require union membership to be hired at a job. Since states began adopting the anti-union laws, union membership has dropped dramatically. Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, were quick to condemn the bills, invoking 2011's voter rejection of S.B. 5, a bill backed by Gov. John Kasich and Ohio Republicans that would have limited collective bargaining rights for public employees and hindered public sector unions' political power.
The city released a memo yesterday outlining how the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap will be funded. The memo emphasizes that the capital funds being used for the streetcar project can't be used to balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit because of state law, so the streetcar project is not being saved at the expense of cops, firefighters and other public employees being laid off to balance the operating budget. CityBeat will have a more thorough analysis of the memo shortly after this article is published.

City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. defended the streetcar project at a special four-hour session of City Council yesterday, but the city manager did not reveal any specifics over how the project's $17.4 million budget gap could be closed. Dohoney revealed the price of halting the project would be $72 million: the project has already cost the city $19.7 million, the city would have to spend another $14.2 million in close-out costs and another $38.1 million in federal grants would have to be returned to the federal government. Most of Dohoney's presentation focused on the streetcar's economic benefits, but opponents say the budget gap proves the streetcar project is unsustainable and its costs are too high.

Convening in packed City Council chambers today, Cincinnati officials discussed the costs and benefits of the streetcar project in light of a $17.4 million budget gap revealed by the city administration on April 16. City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. said the project could and should be saved, but a minority of public speakers and some City Council members did not seem convinced.
To balance the budget
gap, Dohoney said the city would have to pull funds
from multiple sources. He said he will offer specifics in writing
tomorrow, which invoked verbal disappointment from officials who were expecting details at the meeting.
"I'm disappointed in this presentation," said Councilman Chris Smitherman. "We're here today to hear how we're going to pay for it."
The meeting, which was
called by Democratic Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls shortly
after the budget shortfall was announced, covered a presentation from Dohoney, comments from public speakers and City Council
questions to Dohoney. Despite expectations prior to the meeting, no specifics were given for closing the budget gap even after extensive questioning.
Dohoney did reveal the price tag for halting the streetcar project: $72 million. According to Dohoney, the project has already cost the city $19.7 million, and the city would have to spend another $14.2 million in close-out costs. Another $38.1 million in federal grants would have to be returned to the federal government.
Dohoney added that terminating the project would also reduce faith in Cincinnati's competitiveness and ability to take on big development projects.
The budget gap was originally $22.7 million, but the city administration identified $5.3 million in potential cuts. Dohoney said further cuts would "alter the scope" of the project and push it into a "danger zone."
The budget gap is a result of construction bids coming in $26 million to $43 million over budget. The lowest bid from Messer Construction, which came in $26 million over budget, has already expired, but Dohoney said the company is still willing to work on the streetcar project.
The city could rework the request for proposal for construction bids, but Dohoney said city officials and third-party experts agreed it's unlikely that would effectively lower costs.
Throughout the meeting, streetcar opponents argued that the cost of the project is too high and the budget shortfall is proof the program is unsustainable.
Most of Dohoney's presentation focused on the streetcar's purpose. He said the streetcar would help drive
economic and population growth, which would then bring in more tax revenue to
help balance the city's operating budget. That would represent a turnaround for Cincinnati, which has been steadily losing population since the 1950s during a period that has
coincided with disinvestment, urban flight and the dissolution of
the city's old streetcar system.
Throughout his presentation, Dohoney cited multiple examples and studies that found streetcars can help grow local economies. He said the city has not pursued the streetcar because "it's a cool thing to do," but because it follows the expert advice given to city officials about what's necessary to compete with other cities.
Dohoney's argument was previously supported by HDR, which the city hired to do an economic impact study in 2007. HDR found major benefits to connecting Over-the-Rhine and the Central Business District, including travel cost savings, increased mobility for low-income individuals and economic development that would spur rising property values. The HDR study was entirely supported and echoed by a follow-up assessment from the University of Cincinnati.
Some critics have argued that the study is outdated because it was conducted before Over-the-Rhine's recent revitalization, but Dohoney said there are still several hundred vacant buildings in the area, particularly north of Liberty Street.
The project has faced continued opposition from Democratic mayoral candidate John Cranley, Republicans and the conservative Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). They say the project is too expensive and they're skeptical of the economic growth being promised by city officials.
Opponents of the
streetcar have so far put the project on the ballot twice, but Cincinnati voters rejected the referendum efforts. Still, the streetcar may be on the ballot
again this year through the 2013 mayoral race between Democrats Cranley and Qualls ("Back
on the Ballot,"
issue of Jan. 23). Cranley opposes the streetcar, while Qualls supports it.
The streetcar project was originally supposed to receive $52 million in federal funds through the state government, but Republican Gov. John Kasich pulled the funds after he unseated Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
Beyond the financial cost, Dohoney pointed out Kasich's decision raised concerns about the project's feasibility among previous supporters, leading to more hurdles and delays. He said Duke Energy in particular began stalling efforts to move utility lines to accommodate for streetcar tracks because the company grew weary of the project's prospects.
Duke's reluctance led to a conflict with the city over who has to pay to move utility lines — a conflict Duke and the city agreed to resolve in court. While the court battles play out, the city set aside $15 million from the Blue Ash Airport deal to move utility lines, but city officials say they will get that money back if the courts side with the city.
The city originally expected $31 million in private funding for the streetcar project, but those expectations were dampened as a result of the Great Recession, which forced local companies to scale back private donations.
John Deatrick, the current project manager for The Banks, previously told CityBeat that it's normal for large projects to deal with multiple hurdles. Deatrick, who the city wants to hire to manage the streetcar project, said, "Any time you try to build something — even out in the middle of a corn field — you're going to have unexpected, unanticipated issues. ... These things happen, and that's what project management is all about."
Dohoney said the current phase of the streetcar project is only a starter line between Over-the-Rhine and Cincinnati's business district, but city officials are already planning for a second line that would run up to the University of Cincinnati and hospitals in uptown. If Dohoney's vision for the project were completed, streetcars would run on multiple lines all around the city, ranging from the Cincinnati Zoo to The Banks.
The streetcar budget debate comes amid another debate regarding a $35 million deficit in the city's operating budget. Some streetcar opponents have tried to link the two issues, but the streetcar is funded through the capital budget, which cannot be used to balance the operating budget because of legal and traditional constraints.
City Hall will be hosting a meeting on the streetcar project at 6 p.m. today to figure out what the project's options are now that it has a $17.4 million budget gap. The meeting was called by Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls after City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. explained in a memo that the project has a budget gap because construction bids came in $26 million to $43 million over budget.
State Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican who chairs the the Senate Public Utilities Committee, says he wants to "modify," not repeal, Ohio's Clean Energy Law to have more clear-cut compliance standards. Environmentalists say they're concerned Seitz will use the review as a front to water the law down, especially since electricity giant FirstEnergy is pushing against the law's energy efficiency standards. CityBeat wrote more about the conflict between environmentalists and FirstEnergy here.
It's one issue Ohio's leading liberal and conservative think tanks apparently agree on: Ohio is not the "economic miracle" often touted by Gov. John Kasich. In the past year, job numbers for the state have been particularly weak, with public sector losses nearly making up for very weak private sector gains. The right-leaning Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions says a complicated tax system is largely to blame for the stagnant job growth, while the left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio is mostly focusing on governments' budget austerity.

The policy could involve online schools, which were previously found to have poor results in a CityBeat report. The relaxed rules potentially add more controversy to a budget plan that's already mired in criticism for defunding Planned Parenthood and forgoing the Medicaid expansion, which CityBeat covered in further detail here.

Like many builders, Michael Greenfield wandered into the craft almost unintentionally. While he was working as a gigging musician in Montreal in the '80s, he became frustrated after leaving a guitar with a violin tech—the only stringed-instrument tech he could find in town—and the guitar came back unplayable. He decided immediately to learn whatever was necessary to do setups and routine repairs, just to keep his own instruments in shape. That quickly led to other guitarists bringing him their instruments, and he soon became a much-sought-after repairer/restorer.
Restoration and repair became something of a hobby for Greenfield, and after a stint in the restaurant business (he's also a trained chef)
and some consulting work in the Middle East, he returned to Montreal to think about what he really wanted to do with his life. He had a great desire to make music the center of his life again, so he took a side gig doing guitar repairs in a local music store around the peak of the vintage-guitar boom.
"Electric guitars were fine," hesays, "but, all of a sudden, peoplestarted bringing me these museum-grade, pre-war Gibsons, golden-eraMartins, and some really antiqueMartins—and I didn't feel too com-fortable working on those. Otherthan re-fretting a guitar or makinga saddle, I had very little experienceworking on acoustic guitars. So Itook a guitar-making course withBryan Galloup in the early '90s."But Greenfield quickly found outbuilding instruments and repairinginstruments are not the same thing."I don't want to say they don't haveanything to do with one another,but they're really very different.They employ different skills andtechniques and ways of thinkingabout things—although anybodywho makes guitars will do a lot ofrepairing, with all our screwups. Likethings get dropped on the floor." Hepauses for a beat. "I'm not sayingthat ever happens, but it might."After learning to build guitars,Greenfield became so enamored withthe idea that he kept at it. Once hegot up to six guitars in a year, hemade the decision to close down therepair/restoration side of his businessand pursue building exclusively.

Abstract: The Neoproterozoic Katangan R.A.T. ("Roches Argilo-Talqueuses") Subgroup is a sedimentary sequence composed of red massive to irregularly bedded terrigenous-dolomitic rocks occurring at the base of the Katangan succession in Congo. Red R.A.T. is rarely exposed in a continuous section because it was affected by a major layer-parallel de´collement during the Lufilian thrusting. However, in a number of thrust sheets, Red R.A.T. is in conformable sedimentary contact with Grey R.A.T which forms the base of the Mines Subgroup. Apart from the colour difference reflecting distinct depositional redox conditions, lithological, petrographical and geochemical features of Red and Grey R.A.T. are similar. A continuous sedimentary transition between these two lithological units is shown by the occurrence of variegated to yellowish R.A.T. The D. Strat. "Dolomies Stratifie´es" formation of the Mines Subgroup conformably overlies the Grey R.A.T. In addition, a transitional gradation between Grey R.A.T. and D. Strat. occurs in most Cu–Co mines in Katanga and is marked by interbedding of Grey R.A.T.-type and D. Strat.-type layers or by a progressive petrographic and lithologic transition from R.A.T. to D. Strat. Thus, there is an unquestionable sedimentary transition between Grey R.A.T. and D. Strat. and between Grey R.A.T. and Red R.A.T. The R.A.T. Subgroup stratigraphically underlies the Mines Subgroup and therefore R.A.T. cannot be comprised of syn-orogenic sediments deposited upon the Kundelungu (formerly ''Upper Kundelungu'') Group as suggested by Wendorff (2000). As a consequence, the Grey R.A.T. Cu–Co mineralisation definitely is part of the Mines Subgroup Lower Orebody, and does not represent a distinct generation of stratiform Cu–Co sulphide mineralisation younger than the Roan orebodies.

Abstract: Rocks of the Neoproterozoic Mwashya Subgroup (former Upper Mwashya) form the uppermost sedimentary unit of the Roan Group. Based on new field and drill hole observations, the Mwashya is subdivided into three formations: (1) Kamoya, characterized by dolomitic silty shales/ siltstones/sandstones and containing a regional marker (the "Conglomerate de Mwashya" bed or complex); (2) Kafubu, formed by finely bedded black carbonaceous shales; and (3) Kanzadi, marked by feldspathic sandstones. Rocks of the Mwashya Subgroup are overlain by the Sturtian age Grand Conglomérat diamictite (equivalent to the Varianto/Brazil and Chuos/Namibia diamictites), and conformably overlie rocks of the Kansuki Formation (former Lower Mwashya), a carbonate unit containing volcaniclastic beds. New geochemical data confirm the continental rift context of this magmatism, which is contemporaneous with rift-related volcanism of the Askevold Formation (Nosib Group, Namibia). A gradational lithological transition between rocks of the Kansuki and the underlying Kanwangungu Formations, and similar petrological composition of these two formations, support the hypothesis that the Kansuki is the uppermost unit of the carbonate-dominated Dipeta/Kanwangungu sequence, and does not form part of the Mwashya Subgroup. Base metal deposits, mostly hosted in rocks of the Kansuki Formation, include weakly disseminated early-stage low-grade Cu–Co mineralisation, which was reworked and enriched, or initially deposited, by metamorphic fluids associated with the Lufilian orogenic event.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's one achievement Kelly Clarkson considers bigger than winning the first "American Idol": she fell in love. As Clarkson puts it, "Welcome to Cheeseville!" She's been dating Brandon Blackstock for eight months. Clarkson says it's her best accomplishment because she didn't think it would happen. She says it's like "one of those cheesy love songs," but at some point she'll get mad at him, so she'll write songs about that. Clarkson's "Greatest Hits - Chapter One" comes out next week.

NEW YORK (AP) -- What band uses the most pyro in their live shows? Paul O'Neill of Trans-Siberian Orchestra claims it's his band -- and he says TSO may even have more pyro than all other bands combined. He says they do intense negotiations with fire marshals in every city they visit. O'Neill says they also have a road crew that runs like a military campaign who set up and tear down the massive sets.

CLINTON, N.Y. (AP) -- Drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's daughter have been dropped. Prosecutors dismissed drug possession charges against 19-year-old Stephanie Bongiovi and fellow Hamilton College student Ian Grant. Under New York's Good Samaritan law of 2011, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana. The law intends to reduce overdose deaths by encouraging people to call 911 without fear of prosecution. Bongiovi was hospitalized after apparently overdosing on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Phish frontman Trey Anastasio says the lowest point of his life was right before Phish called it quits in 2004 -- because he was a raging drug addict. Anastasio tells Rolling Stone keyboardist Page McConnell had told him for 20 years he had faith in Anastasio onstage, but for the first time he wasn't sure. Anastasio was arrested for drug possession in 2006 and was humiliated that a Phish fan happened to be his jail guard. Anastasio is clean now and says he hates drugs.

MADISON – Governor Jim Doyle announced today that the Department of Health Services will operate a Disaster FoodShare Program for certain residents of Milwaukee County who were economically affected by severe storms on July 20th. Only residents in certain zip codes, where flooding occurred, will be eligible and individuals currently on FoodShare will not be required to apply in person.
State and Federal officials have limited eligibility to specific zip codes that the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District has confirmed suffered flood related damage. Households who had expenses or losses because of the flooding and power outages from the July 20, 2010 storms can get a disaster benefits if they lived or worked in one of the following zip codes on July 20th: 53205, 53206, 53209, 53210, 53211, 53212, 53216, 53218, 53222, 53224 and 53225.
Households that qualify will receive a one-time FoodShare benefit for the maximum amount according to their household size. There are specific instructions for individuals in the affected zip codes:
In both circumstances anyone who received their maximum FoodShare benefit in July is not eligible for the Disaster FoodShare Program. Households will be notified by DHS if they do not qualify.
You must bring proof of identity. If possible, applicants should also bring along proof of residency and income for July and August. To speed up the application process, applications can be printed and filled out ahead of time at the following website: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/foodshare.
The Disaster FoodShare Program is an additional benefit to current FEMA assistance and ends on 11/17. For more information about disaster FoodShare benefits, visit: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/foodshare.

edsports1 | #114 Subject: FFXI NEWS FLASH - NEW EXPANSION ANNOUNCED - TREASURES OF AHT URHGAN Posted: 09/16/2005 14:07:42 |
Just moments ago, Playonline announced a new expansion pack for Final Fantasy XI titled "Treasures of Aht Urhgan". This confirms a previous report of the registration of this name as a potential expansion title.
Why is this so significant for FFXI players? We may have a new job on the horizon. This thread on Allakhazam contains a link to this video displaying what appears to be a new job. This quite possibly could be the Blue Mage job that I posted about in my blog on Monday. Keep checking Playonline.com for more details. In the meantime, let the discussions begin! |

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: Good choices, but could have more variety. I see several fast food and pizza places in one area of Merced, and then I see healthy restaurants hiding in a corner of town.
C A+F Guys & Girls: Guys are cool, for the most part. They tend to be stuck-up and jerks, or at least from my observations (not including me, I'm semi-introverted, semi-extroverted). depending on the guy, he could be nice and quiet or loud and funny, or unique.Girls, depends on the girl. My girlfriend is the best ever, religious like me, sweet and funny, and nice. There are other girls like her, but there are also girls that dress like "sluts," or wear clothes that show off everything, or speak with such bad grammar that I wonder how some of them got into college to begin with.
B A+F Facilities: Students here are all fun. The activities are great, we get a lot of good feedback from events, and the facilities are top of the line
A A+F Facilities: Everything's amazing here. We have a small campus and a very big library, perfect for studying or researching what you need. Campus life is pretty fun once you get used to things here. There are plenty of opportunities like clubs, studying abroad, tutoring, and research opportunities. :D
B A+F Campus Housing: Living on campus last year was pretty fun. It was pretty social, I made a bunch of friends in my dorm area. It was pretty clean, and we had to take care of the place ourselves really. Housing process was alright but hectic.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: Since I live off-campus, I am able to stay up as long as I want and not have to worry about disturbing a roommate who's sharing my room. I can park just outside the house, so parking isn't a problem. Cost is pretty good, and my neighborhood is pretty safe. My only complaint is that the housing office doesn't allow non-resident students to reserve the piano room on campus. I am a student, and I love to play the piano. I would never break a piano - in fact, I'm usually the one that fixes the piano in the room when I reserved it. The piano is a school resource, and students should be allowed to reserve the room even if they live off-campus. T~T I miss playing piano but I can't check out the room, and none of my on-campus friends are available to reserve the room for me at the times that I'm free to play...(I hope this complaint makes it to the school board or something)
B A+F Local Atmosphere: There are a lot of stuff to do off campus, like go to restaurants or the mall or the movie theaters. People here only complain that there's nothing to do because they are used to big cities with lots of parties. The atmosphere in Merced is nice and quiet, and it's very relaxing.
C A+F Parking: Parking lot on campus fills up pretty quickly, so I'd have to park far from campus to find a spot. It's alright though because that means that I get more exercise in by walking so far.
B A+F Transportation: CatTracks are reliable for the most part. They are on time and they get you where you need to go.
B A+F Health & Safety: Campus police are there when needed, which makes the campus pretty safe
A A+F Overall Experience: I am so glad I chose this school.Classes are challenging, but excellent. On-campus activities are pretty fun, and the people here are great. Campus is small but it's the best school in my opinion. Wouldn't have it any other way.
C A+F Drug Safety: Students don't exactly come to class high or drunk, but it's apparent that alcohol and stuff are being used, if only a little bit from what I've seen
C A+F Guys & Girls: This college is diverse in the kinds of people that attend. i feel that we have the typical social norms that most people expect in college. The easiest way to think of our school is to watch a cheesy teen college movie.
C A+F Campus Housing: Campus housing is what everyone expects it to be in college. The only thing about campus housing that a majority of people complain about its the price and the food we are given while living on campus.
C A+F Overall Experience: It took me awhile to adjust to this school. At first i was bored and tired of the place before i got to know it. Ive made many friends and i've learned to love the school because of the people, the atmosphere and the benefits that i've gotten from coming here.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: A lot of off campus food consists of fast food but there are a few good restaurants that students on and off campus frequent throughout the years. Most students living off campus try to stay away from take out food and try to cook but sometimes there is no time and fast food is the easiest option.
B A+F Majors: I have not participated or looking into any internships simply because i am beginning my Upper division classes and i feel that i may become overwhelmed and therefore i am trying to get settled and comfortable with the workloads i am given.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: I have not lived off campus first hand but i have heard that it is more worth while than living on-campus.
C A+F Health & Safety: For the two years i have been here i have never felt unsafe in an extreme way. Catcops are good at managing issues and the campus is generally quiet and calm.
C A+F Weather: The weather ranges from scorching heat to blistering cold with the occasional nice days, but we all adjust and learn to love.
B A+F Academics: I feel like being in a particular major connects you with a lot of people. Seeing as my classes are for management majors i have met a lot of people with the same major or with something similar.
B A+F Academics: I have enjoyed a majority of my classes because of the professors and how they handle the semesters. i feel like the workloads are manageable and only sometimes overwhelming. popular study areas on campus are generally the lantern cafe and the library which fill quickly and can sometimes be inconvenient.
F A+F Transportation: Bus schedules can range from half an hour to an hour while waiting at a stop off campus. it is also hard to identify where buses will stop and where the closest one in the other direction is.
C A+F Computers: The computers provided in computer labs work relatively well however the computer labs are not open 24/7 and therefor i believe that it is better to have your own laptop handy in order to complete assignments and things of that nature.
C A+F Drug Safety: I have not really seen anything around campus regarding drug safety other than professors telling us not to do it.

There tends to be a fair amount of skepticism about UC Merced, due to its young age. Because the school is located in a fairly small town and only opened its doors a little more than six years ago, there are plenty of students who come to UCM concerned about how established the University actually is and how boring life might be on or off campus. However, students tend to be surprised at what UCM has to offer. It definitely lives up to the UC standard, providing students with research opportunities and leadership positions. Students tend to not only adjust, but eventually come to love the cozy, neighborly atmosphere of the school. Those very accustomed to the busy city lifestyle might be shocked at the smallness of the place, but the general consensus is that there is plenty to do, both on and off campus, and that it is just a matter of exploring.
Ultimately, the University is like any other college in the sense that there will be parties. However, the party scene is not so big on campus, due to its size and the fact that there are not any fraternity or sorority houses. But there is a fair share of off-campus parties. For students more interested in extracurricular activities, UCM provides awesome opportunities, especially since students will have a chance to be at the forefront of many organizations, or even start a new organization or sports team, and create more school traditions. Students agree that by attending UCM, they have the opportunity to lay the foundation for a University with great potential. Plus, the brand-new facilities—including the labs, classrooms, and even the new, clean dorms and restrooms—are an asset to being a young school. Thus, while UCM might not provide one with a typical college experience, due to its smallness and newness, it's definitely possible for a student to have a worthwhile experience here if he or she is willing to get involved with campus life.

I have been inspired by film photographer, Magdalena Pardo (website below) to begin taking film photos. I love the vintage, classic look of film photography and also it's just so beautiful. I've been using a digital camera for the past year now and am not familiar at all with using a film camera or how to edit them. Magadalena uses a Minolta x700 camera with Kodak 400ISO film. Any suggestions or advice? :D

Mariachi Restaurant
Online Reservations
Service was great. Staff was friendly and attentive. The nachos with beef were really good, they use real beef and not the stuff other restaurants use. The lomo saltado had great taste. I will definitely come back and try other dishes.
Mariachi is a wonderful restaurant. The food is outstanding, and the servers are courteous and efficient. There were no screaming children, no distractions from the dining experience, and the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The prices are very reasonable, and you get plenty of food for your dollar. AND the fried ice cream is to die for! I highly recommend you experience this little Frederick gem!
Had Friday dinner reservations for two at 6 PM. We got there a little early and were seated immediately. Mariachis serves Mexican and Spanish cuisine and we think they do it well. We had chicken enchiladas and rainbow trout with shrimp. Her trout was excellent and his enchiladas were better than any most. Next time will try the shredded beef instead of the chicken. Enchiladas came with Spanish rice and beans plus guacamole and sour cream. Trout was grilled with the shrimp and seasoned sauce. It came with black beans and seasoned white rice. Both meals were excellent as were the Patron margarita and Mariachi margarita. We will definitely return and recommend Mariachis to our friends.
Good menu selection Mexican dishes plus some Spanish options as well. The steak and the chicken in the fajitas were well flavored and tender. The frozen margaritas were more frozen than they were margarita—not very interesting. Overall, very good service and food.

NEW VIEW of the young earth covered in oceans of liquid water as early as 4.4 billion years ago contrasts sharply with the hot, hostile world typically depicted in textbooks.

The Tales They Tell
In its infancy, beginning about 4.5 billion years ago, the earth glowed like a faint star. Incandescent yellow-orange oceans of magma roiled the surface following repeated collisions with immense boulders, some the size of small planets, orbiting the newly formed sun. Averaging 75 times the speed of sound, each impactor scorched the surface--shattering, melting and even vaporizing on contact.
Early on, dense iron sank out of the magma oceans to form the metallic core, liberating enough gravitational energy to melt the entire planet. Massive meteorite strikes continued for hundreds of millions of years, some blasting craters more than 1,000 kilometers in diameter. At the same time, deep underground, the decay of radioactive elements produced heat at rates more than six times greater than they do today.
