It's MidPoint Music Festival week! If you need some guidance as you create your MPMF itinerary (which you can build and keep track of through the live.mpmf.com app), we'll be showcasing some of the Critic's Picks from our official MidPoint guide (which will be available throughout the fest). While most of attendees are likely very familiar with some of the bigger headlining acts of the fest, these suggestions focus on some of the great acts beyond the top-of-the-poster ones. Remember — MPMF is about discovery. (And if you find yourself with a blank spot on your schedule, any of Cincinnati's homegrown talent playing MPMF are a sure bet.)
Here are some recommendations for this Thursday. Click
here to check out the entire official guide, which has write-ups on all
150 or so MPMF acts. Tickets are still available here.
8 p.m. @ Arnold's
Old Hundred (Columbus, Ohio)
Indie Folk Rock
In 2012, Columbus' Old Hundred was listed as one of "10 Ohio Bands You Should Listen to Now" by Paste Magazine. If you didn't heed that advice at the time, you should do yourself a favor and do so immediately. Along with scoring slots at regional fests and playing with the likes of Mumford & Sons, Phosphorescent and Cake, the group has put out a pair of full-lengths and two EP releases, including this year's remarkable I Don't Want to Die. The EP shows the unpredictable diversity of Old Hundred, opening with the sweeping Folk instrumental "Catamount I" before moving into gritty, melodic Indie Rock of "I'll Be There (When You Die)," the beautiful harmony-laden "I Don't Want to Die" and "Catamount II," which begins with haunting Art Folk minimalism and builds into a noisy cacophony that could've been composed by Explosions in the Sky.

10:30 p.m. @ The Drinkery
Alpha Consumer (Minneapolis)
Indie Rock
Considering Minneapolis' storied history, Alpha Consumer has created a cultishly devoted fan base among one of the most sophisticated and discerning music audiences on the planet. The trio has also made fans within its peer group, collaborating with Andrew Bird, Bon Iver and Brother Ali, while maintaining a unique musical perspective of herky jerky New Wave as filtered through a melodic Pop prism that fractures its light into individual rays of New York Punk, Psych Folk and contemporary Indie Rock. Alpha Consumer's last full-length, 2011's Kick Drugs Out of America, was a blast of Indie oddballery, but the group's recently released Meat shows a great deal more subtlety and musical growth toward the melodic heart and soul that was evident on its predecessor.

10:30 p.m. @ Know Theater (Main Stage)
Fathers (Chicago)
Indie Rock
Fathers is a band with branches in Chicago but deep roots in the Cincinnati scene. Its members played previously in such Cincy stalwarts as Enlou, All The Day Holiday and Cathedrals. It should be noted that Fathers sound virtually nothing like any of those bands, but instead carves out its own niche somewhere between '70s Easy Listening and more modern, propulsive Indie Rock. Nearly every song demonstrates a mastery of the delicate art of dynamic and mood. Of course, that being said, the band says its live show is akin to "an out-of-control bus with a bomb strapped to the bottom that will blow if the driver slows down." So come prepared for anything.

10 p.m. @ Know Theater (Second Stage)
Violent Mae (Hartford, Conn.)
Indie Jazz Rock
As their bio reads, vocalist/guitarist Becky Kessler and drummer Floyd Kellogg were supposed to work on her solo album together, not form a band. Kessler moved from Outer Banks, N.C., to work on an organic farm in Connecticut, where she met Kellogg. The result of their work together is last year's self-titled debut, influenced by noisy bands Sonic Youth and Pixies, but also possessing notes of Jazz icon Charles Mingus and a sprinkling of Jeff Buckley's Folk Gospel. On the upbeat melancholy of "Hole in My Heart," Kessler sings about heartache in her raspy voice that's in the ilk of Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom. This winter they went method and recorded the song "Man in the Country" in an abandoned mining cave.
YDDIYD: The Heartless Bastards, Jeff Buckley without the high notes, New England in the fall, cave dwellers. (Garin Pirnia)
10:45 p.m. @ Mainstay Rock Bar
The Infatuations (Detroit)
The high-energy Soul style of The Infatuations has made them a favorite in their hometown scene, which is saying a lot when you realize their hometown scene gave birth to Motown and scores of bands known for amazing live shows (MC5, The White Stripes, etc.). The group recently scored five Detroit Music Awards (out of 14 nominations) including Outstanding Live Performance. The Infatuations bring the party for its live shows and their recorded work captures that sweaty, dance-demanding vibe perfectly. This year, the group released its first full-length, Detroit Block Party, 11 tracks of high-octane R&B that's almost as fun to listen to as it is to experience in concert. Almost.
YDIIYD: Motown, Stax, Marvin, Curtis, Otis. (MB)
Midnight @ MOTR Pub
Nikki Lane (Nashville, Tenn.)
Alt Country/Rockabilly
With her unabashed bluster, Lane's songs about jilted lovers and walks of shame generate either foot stomping or pensive swaying. (Note: She's nothing like another Nashville "Country" artist who likes to write songs about exes, Taylor Swift.) Lane grew up in Greenville, S.C., then spent some time in NYC before settling in Music City, where she opened up a vintage store called High Class Hillbilly. That led to meeting and collaborating with Black Key Dan Auerbach, who produced her sophomore record, All or Nothin'. On songs "Man Up" and "You Can't Treat Me Like That," she lets those men know she's the boss, all while never losing that alluring rhythm.
YDIIYD: Strong vintage female Country artists like Wanda Jackson and Loretta Lynn and newer country artists like Lydia Loveless. (GP)
10:30 p.m. @ Mr. Pitiful's
Steelism (Nashville, Tenn.)
Instrumental Rock/Surf/Roots
Led by guitarist Jeremy Fetzer and pedal steel player Spencer Cullum, Steelism is a wide-ranging instrumental band that takes from Surf rock greats, classical soundtrack composers and vintage Soul music and creates its own distinct and completely engrossing sound. You can use Santo & Johnny — the pedal steel/guitar twosome that had a hit with the mesmerizing "Sleepwalk" — as a starting point, simply because it is a provocative instrumental hit using the same instrument motif, but Steelism takes the concept to levels that duo only dreamed of. They can pull off gorgeous Country balladry, Krautrock weirdness, rollicking Rock & Roll boogie, R&B smoothness with equal grace, managing to have its own strong musical identity craft cohesiveness in the face of such disparate inspiration. And no, you get swept up enough that you won't once wonder, "Would this sound better with singing?" In this case, singing would be distracting.
YDIIYD: The Ventures, Esquivel, Ennio Morricone. (MB)
10:45 p.m. @ Ballroom at the Taft Theater
Barrence Whitfield and the Savages (Boston)
Garage Rock/Soul
Barrence Whitfield is the kind of performer that the word "frontman" was devised to define who they are and yet doesn't go nearly far enough in describing what they do. Whitfield is a human tornado of Soul and Rock, a witheringly energetic gene splice of Wilson Pickett, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Arthur Alexander, with moves and grooves that would sprain Richard Simmons' optic nerve. And around him are the Savages, a musical Special Forces unit that storms stages with blitzkrieg passion and unhinged abandon. And we'll let Boston claim them, because the band started there three decades ago, but we all know that half the Savages hail from the Queen City (ex-Customs/DMZ/Lyres guitarist Peter Greenberg, ex-Customs/Auburnaires keyboardist Jim Cole, ex-Pearlene drummer Andy Jody) and their last two comeback albums — 2011's Savage Kings and 2013's Dig Thy Savage Soul — were recorded with John Curley at Ultrasuede (and Savage Kings was released on Shake It, so there). But the band will be happy to tell you that it doesn't matter where they're from, it matters where they're headed. And the best you can do to get ready is strap your ass on tight; Barrence Whitfield and the Savages might just rock it off.
YDIIYD: Little Richard mentors The Dictators, Wilson Pickett gives them a metric ton of Soul. (BB)

Over the past few years, Athens, Ohio's Indie Folk troupe The Ridges have become a regular presence at Cincinnati area clubs, building up a nice local following. They've also become fairly regular participants in the MidPoint Music Festival (which returns starting this Thursday to the clubs and venues of Downtown/Over-the-Rhine) and they always provide fest-highlight-worthy performances. The band is returning to MPMF 2014 for its third visit to the festival, opening up the night at new MPMF venue Memorial Hall Saturday at 9:15 p.m. and rounding out a great bill that also includes anticipated MPMF sets by Saintseneca and Gardens & Villa.
The Ridges (who've done several dates in the past year with Kishi Bashi, one of last year's big MPMF breakthrough acts) often craft cool promo videos for their shows, particularly for bigger events like MPMF. The band's video previewing its appearance at this year's MidPoint was recently shot from the stage at Memorial Hall, giving a good look at the gorgeous venue for those who've never seen it.
"It's always one of our favorite shows," Ridges singer/songwriter/guitarist Victor Rasgaitis says about playing MidPoint. "The atmosphere is perfectly inspiring and the crowds are so incredibly receptive — we're lucky to have such an awesome festival here in Ohio."
Tickets for MPMF are available here. For more on The Ridges, visit theridgesmusic.com.
Morning news, y'all!
A grand jury is convening right now, as I type, to decide whether to indict Beavercreek Police Officer Sean Williams in the death of John Crawford III. Williams shot Crawford, 22, while responding to a 911 call reporting a gunman at a Beavercreek Walmart. Crawford, however, turned out to be unarmed, carrying only a pellet gun sold at the store. Security footage taken by Walmart shows the shooting, though that footage has not been made public. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine allowed Crawford's family and their attorney to see the tape, however, and they say it shows Crawford was not behaving in a threatening manner and was "shot on sight." They're calling for the grand jury to indict Officer Williams on murder charges. Beavercreek Police officials maintain that Williams acted properly to protect other patrons of the store. Marches and protests are planned in Beavercreek and other areas today in relation to the incident. The grand jury deliberations mirror similar proceedings in Ferguson, Missouri, where a grand jury was recently selected to decide whether to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of teenager Mike Brown.
• Tomorrow, police, social workers and volunteers will clean up what was once one of Cincinnati's largest homeless camps, a seven-year-old collection of tents and improvised structures in an isolated corner of Queensgate. Police worked with social service agencies long-term to gain occupants' trust and eventually convince them to move to safer places and seek help. The approach represents a marked departure from techniques police have used in years past to clear camps, when officers would sweep in, give residents just hours to vacate and sometimes issue trespassing citations.
• Apparently, I'm a member of the city's one-half of one percent club. Clearly I'm not talking about my non-existent elite levels of wealth — I mean I'm a Cincinnati bike commuter. About one out of every 200 Cincinnatians bikes to work, according to Census data. Currently, the city ranks 45th in the nation for bicycle commuting. That's a pretty low number in the grand scheme of things, but it represents a big increase over time — bike commuting is up 146 percent from a decade and a half ago.
• Speaking of rankings, Cincinnati made a Forbes list for the country's 19 best opportunity cities. The list considers business opportunities, cost of living, unemployment rate and population growth, especially among young people, and uses that data to determine where a person has the best chance of making big waves and finding big success. Cincinnati ended up 18th on the list, coming in just above Winston-Salem, North Carolina and just below Shreveport, Louisiana. Ohio was well-represented — Columbus came in first, Toledo fourth and Akron 13th.
• P&G is distancing itself from the NFL as the league receives continued criticism over a player's domestic violence incident. The Cincinnati-based company will pull out of a campaign in which players from each of the league's 32 teams were to promote Crest toothpaste on social media and wear pink mouth guards during games to raise awareness for breast cancer. The company will still donate $100,000 to the American Cancer Society to raise breast cancer awareness, but will no longer be partnering with the NFL for the campaign. The move comes as the league faces continued criticism connected to revelations that Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice punched and knocked out his girlfriend in an elevator. Rice was originally suspended for two games for the domestic violence incident, but after security tapes showing the brutal attack were released, public outcry forced the league and the team to release Rice from his contract. P&G caught some of this controversy after an ad for Baltimore Ravens-themed makeup from the company's CoverGirl brand was altered to show the ad's model with a black eye. The altered ad went viral, focusing attention on P&G's sponsorship relationship with the league.
• In national news, Home Depot, which was recently the victim of the biggest information theft incident ever for a retailer, had been warned for years about the security of its data, a new report in The New York Times says. The company used outdated software and insufficient data security methods to house customer data, former employees for the company say, and had been warned of the risks since at least 2008. Hackers stole data for more than 40 million credit cards from Home Depot earlier this month, information that could be used to make more than $3 billion in fraudulent purchases. What's worse? Experts are saying this kind of data theft could be "the new normal" as more and more companies experience data theft.
* Finally, ever seen hundreds of Canadians dressed like Batman? Now you have. I heard at least one guy in there is dressed up like The Joker. See if you can find him, Where's Waldo style.
Hello all. I'm gearing up to push a beer barrel around Fountain Square at this year's Oktoberfest kick off as part of Team City Beat, so I'll be brief in this end-of-week news rundown.
Mayor John Cranley last night delivered his first State of the City address. In it, he called 2014 a banner year for Cincinnati, counting crime reduction, the creation of new jobs and the continued changes happening in Over-the-Rhine and other historic neighborhoods among the city's bright spots. Cranley touted future plans, including an increase in the number of police officers on the beat, a jobs program called the Hand Up Initiative, and several proposals to strengthen the city's neighborhoods, including a beer garden in Mt. Airy Forest and a new Kroger's in Avondale. He also touched on some of the challenges the city faces, such as the high number of youth killed and injured in gun violence and the lack of inclusion in the city's hiring and contracting practices. But he largely skimmed over some major issues in Cincinnati, including the increasing difficulty many have in finding affordable housing and the city's abysmal infant mortality rate, among others. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at the speech, and the city's problems and promises, right here in the news department next week.
• Mahogany's owner Liz Rogers has backed off on her suggestion she might sue the city if it doesn't forgive her $300,000 loan. City Manager Harry Black earlier this week gave a quick, cold "no" to the idea the city might write off the loan to avoid a lawsuit from Rogers. In a change of tone, Rogers is now asking the city to help her make a plan to pay back the money.
• I don't need to type this, even, but I need some way to lead into this next piece, so here I am stating the obvious: demand for housing in Over-the-Rhine is at a fever pitch right now. That's across the income spectrum, but it seems the upper end of the continuum is getting the attention right now. In response to demand for swank spaces, 3CDC is ramping up renovations on a number of new condos and townhouses. The development group has sold 51 in the neighborhood so far this year, and at the current rate, says its current supply of 21 available properties will last until spring. So it's making plans to crank out 24 new condos and 12 new townhouses in the area around the Vine Street corridor and Washington Park. The projects, representing more than $14 million in investment, are due to start construction in the coming weeks. Though price points haven't been set on the properties yet, it seems all will be market rate.
• Wiedemann Brewery, which made beer in Greater Cincinnati for more than a century, is on its way back to the area. Jon and Nancy Newberry brought the brand back a couple years ago, and have recently announced plans to move production to Newport, where the company originated.
• Nina Turner, Democratic candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, got big ups from former President Bill Clinton Thursday. Clinton is touting Turner as an important alternative to Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted, who has been at the forefront of the party's efforts in Ohio to roll back early voting hours.
"Elections matter and that's why it matters to all of us who administers our elections," Clinton said in a message sent by e-mail and letter to Ohio Democratic Party members and donors. "With Nina as Secretary of State, we can count on her to expand and protect the franchise and restore integrity and fairness to the electoral process in Ohio."
• The House of Representatives Wednesday voted to audit the Federal Reserve to find out more about the nation's central bank's financial dealings. Republicans have been beating the drum on auditing the Fed pretty much since the last time they did it in 2010. But that bill, which was passed by all but one Republican and all but 91 of the House's Democrats, came with two other bills that give big banks big perks, including significant deregulation on derivatives trading, the byzantine financial shell game that helped cause the financial crash of 2008. So Congress is interested in ferreting out dysfunction within the nation's financial system, just so long as that dysfunction isn't with big corporate money. Got it. It's unclear if the Senate will take up the bills.
• Finally, in international news, Scotland has voted against independence and will stick to being part of the United Kingdom. Fifty-five percent of Scottish voters said they wanted to stay a part of the UK. Scotland has been promised more autonomy as a way to keep it part of the UK, a change that could have big implications for the rest of the union, as this Reuters article explores.
On their most recent tour, excellent Northern Kentucky Indie Rock band The Yugos stopped by Toledo, Ohio's SixtyTen Recording Studio to record its latest single, "Follow You," as part of the facility's "SixtyTen Sessions" video series.
The studio version of the single, released earlier this summer, can be streamed/downloaded here.
One week from the day, The Yugos will be opening up MidPoint Music Festival's Friday festivities. The band plays at 5 p.m. Friday on the MidPoint Midway stage, right before another of the fest's most anticipated acts, Real Estate, performs. The Midway stage is free and open to the public (no tickets/passes required), thanks to stage sponsor P&G. It's also an all-ages show.
Click here to hear more from The Yugos, and here to check out more sessions from SixtyTen.
There are several good productions onstage around town — check out CityBeat coverage of Hands on a Hardbody (a musical at ETC), The Great Gatsby (a classic American novel adapted for the stage at Cincy Shakes), Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Suicide Club (a new adventure for the great detective at the Cincinnati Playhouse) and Tennessee Williams' prize-winning A Streetcar Named Desire (at the Covedale) — but if you've seen those, you have other choices for onstage entertainment. Here are three suggestions for shows a little more off the beaten path:
Hey, readers. We've got some catching up to do.
As CityBeat's new Web & Copy Editor, I'll be taking over our weekly vocab blog, in which I'll point out, define (and sometimes snicker at) the high-minded choice of words by some of our writers. These are obtuse words, or at least words that aren't used in everyday language, like seraphic or anthemic. (Full disclosure: I have a master's degree and I still reach for the dictionary at least once or twice a day.)
My goal is to define so you don't have to, and to (hopefully) enhance your mental catalog of impressive and/or strange-sounding words.
Here's the list this week:
Seraphic: of, like, or befitting a seraph (adj.) OK, great, what the hell is a seraph? A seraph, according to dictionary.com, is "a member of the highest order to angels, often represented as a child's head with wings above, below, and on each side." (n.) Thus, we can deduce seraphic means angelic, heavenly or cherubic.
In the issue: Actually, seraphic appears in the band lineup of our MPMF guide here. Garin Pirnia says we'll like the MPMF band Mutual Benefit (who?) if we like " 'Post-lunar Buddha turds,' seraphic glockenspiel music mixed with unpredictable soundscapes, cats chasing butterflies." (Another disclosure: I don't know any of the bands kids these days are listening to, nor do I have any idea what Buddha turds are.)
Anthemic: pertaining to music that has the qualities of an anthem, such as a serious tone and strong tune; also, regarded as an anthem (adj.) This seemed obvious after I read it. STILL, Microsoft Word doesn't recognize anthemic as a real word.
In the issue: "Extracted from a dream, Holiday fashions an anthemic fistpumper that nods to Muse, Bruce Springsteen, and U2…" in Brian Baker's review of Caged Heat. Does the name Caged Heat conjure up unpleasant images for anybody else?
Arcane: known or understood by very few; mysterious; secret (adj.)
In this issue: "Tonya Beckman brings up a studied
tongue-in-cheek, choreographed delivery to the role of "Club Secretary,"
the sexy-tuxedoed character who guides club members through their
arcane selection process," in Rick Pender's latest Curtain Call column.
While commercial radio throws a bone here and there to homegrown musicians in Greater Cincinnati via specialty shows or segments, public radio station WNKU (89.7 FM; wnku.org) frequently adds songs from local artists to its regular-rotation playlist. And it has for years. The station also covers the local scene online with news and reviews, hosts local musicians for its live in-studio Studio 89 program and sponsors numerous musical events across the Tristate.
Local musicians are returning the favor by appearing on the new compilation album, Get Real Gone: Road Songs for Public Radio. In lieu of, say, a cliched tote bag gift, WNKU will be giving CDs of the album to those who donate during the station's fall fund drive. Listeners who become "sustaining members," paying just $8 a month, or those who donate $96 can score a disc of their very own.
The compilation features tracks by Roger Klug, Brian Lovely's Flying Underground, Eclipse Movement, Goose, The Newbees, Balderdash, Tim Goshorn, Kim Taylor, psychodots, Marcos, Graveblankets, Davis Kinney, Charlie Fletcher, Jeff Seeman and Bromwell-Diehl.
This Saturday and Sept. 27, several of the Get Real Gone participants will perform live at WNKU's studio. This Saturday, the lineup features Davis Kenney (10 a.m.), Balderdash (noon), The Newbees (1 p.m.), Roger Klug Power Trio (2 p.m.) and Graveblankets (3 p.m.). On Sept. 27, tune in to hear Kim Taylor (10 a.m.), Jeffrey Seeman (10:40 a.m.), Brian Lovely's Flying Underground (11:30 a.m.), Goose (1 p.m.), Charlie Fletcher (with The Bluebirds; 2:30 p.m.) and the Bromwell-Diehl Band (3:15 p.m.).
Morning all! Let's jump right into the news.
Members of Cincinnati City Council have some preliminary good things to say about the Haile Foundation's recent proposal for funding streetcar operating costs. Meanwhile, Mayor John Cranley has said he's working on a plan of his own, and you can hear all about it… in a month or so. Vice Mayor David Mann and council members Kevin Flynn, P.G. Sittenfeld and Amy Murray all said the Haile plan was helpful as a starting point. Questions remain, however, about how much the tax plan will cost property owners in the proposed special taxing district, which will cover Downtown, Over-the-Rhine and Pendleton. Murray, who voted against the streetcar project, also questioned whether the necessary 60 percent of property owners in those districts would back the tax and said there need to be back up options in place.
Meanwhile, Cranley said he's confident he can come up with a plan council will support that provides the almost $4 million in yearly operating costs the streetcar needs without spending city money. He declined to give further details but said the plan should be ready in a month or so.
• Mayor Cranley won't be talking much about that plan tonight when he gives his State of the City address, which will happen at 6 p.m. at Music Hall. Instead, he'll outline other proposals and his vision for the year ahead. One seemingly mundane change he'll be highlighting — the elimination of the more-or-less unenforced single garbage can rule. I live in a big house with 10 other roommates, and it's not really my job to take the garbage out, but I can see how this is a big deal for people who live on a big hill (there are a lot of those in Cincinnati) and don't want to lug one cartoonishly big trash can up and down steps all the time. Anyway, I've digressed. The State of the City is open to the public, though the mayor's office encourages folks to RSVP here.
• City Council yesterday passed two new ordinances targeting sex trafficking, which I reported on yesterday. You can get more details on the new measures here.
• The sales tax increase to renovate Union Terminal has gotten a key backer. The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce is endorsing the plan, which will go up for a vote on the November ballot. The plan is the product of a contentious struggle between Hamilton County Commissioners, the city and the Cultural Facilities Task Force, which originally drew up a $280 million plan funding both Music Hall and Union Terminal renovations. That plan, which sought to increase county sales taxes from 6.75 to 7 percent over 20 years, was jettisoned by commissioners in favor of the same hike for a shorter duration covering only Union Terminal. New efforts are underway to find money for Music Hall renovations.
• Quick hit: The owner of the car that was hit by big ole chunks of a Brent Spence Bridge off ramp Sunday will have to sue the state to be reimbursed, the Ohio Department of Transportation says. Bummer.
• Procter & Gamble is getting some social media heat surrounding its role as the NFL's official beauty sponsor. The league has been experiencing huge amount of controversy in the past few weeks over Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice, who was suspended for two games following revelations he was involved in domestic violence against his fiancee. That suspension was made indefinite when tapes surfaced showing Rice brutally punching and knocking her out in an elevator. The league has taken heat for not acting quickly enough, with allegations flying that the league new about the severity of Rice's crime before the tapes were made public. Meanwhile, in what amounts to either really bad timing or a severe case of tone-deafness, P&G's Covergirl brand has been running the "get your game face on" campaign promoting their line of NFL-team-themed makeup. One of these has been photoshoped so that a model wearing Ravens purple makeup appears to have a black eye. As the image has gone viral, many on social media have turned to the company asking it to condemn the NFL and pull its sponsorship. Though P&G has issued a statement against domestic violence, the company has yet to pull the sponsorship, and critics say it isn't doing enough to distance itself from the league. Covergirl's Facebook page and other social media sites have received hundreds of negative comments about the situation.
• So the NFL is pretty soft on players who commit domestic violence, and our local mega-corporation keeps giving them money despite that. But hey, the Bengals are number one in Sports Illustrated's NFL Power Rankings for the first time ever! So, that's good, right? Eh.
• Quick hit number two: Yesterday I told you about an investigation into Ohio charter schools run by Chicago's Concept Schools. Here's more on that, including pushback from the schools' officials and supporters.
• Here's a story about how New Orleans, which has been the nation's murder capital off and on for years, is using big data to track gang activity and help reduce violence in the city. It's fascinating stuff that has some pretty interesting (and perhaps troubling) ramifications if you think about government's use of big data in general. On a side note, there's a shout-out to an unnamed University of Cincinnati professor who apparently has helped the New Orleans Police Department work with data in tracking murders.
• Finally, founding members of Occupy Wall Street are suing each other over the movement's most popular and recognized Twitter handle, @OccupyWallStNYC. Insert whatever joke you want right here.
Tonight, Cincinnati mayor John Cranley will be giving his "State of the City" speech. For a snapshot of the state of the city's Hip Hop scene, take a look at the following recent music videos. Judging by these tracks and visuals, I'd say the state of Cincinnati Hip Hop is strong.
• Yesterday, the reigning Cincinnati Entertainment Awards champ for top Hip Hop act in the city, Buggs Tha Rocka, put out a clip for his track "Rapture," featuring local singer Phoenix Aphrodite. The song is from Buggs' forthcoming album, Scattered Thoughts of an American Poet, which is set for release Oct. 7 and features a great guest list, including Chuck Inglish from The Cool Kids, Tanya Morgan, Piakhan, MOOD and more.
Rapture feat. Phoenix Aphrodite from Buggs Tha Rocka on Vimeo.
• Middletown-based Hip Hop duo Those Guys just premiered their latest video, "King." Featuring J.Al and Jova, Those Guys top themselves with every new release and "King" is no exception. Their tagline/motto is "Good Hip-Hop Music" and after listening to "King," you'll find it hard to disagree. The track is from the twosome's recent release, Bueno, which you can download here.
• Last year, Northern Kentucky MC Trademark Aaron gained a lot of well deserved attention with his great track/video for "Faith," which was featured on Vevo's homepage and shared far and wide across the Hip Hop blogosphere. TA's latest video, for "Gold" from his recent Act Accordingly release (which we wrote about here), premiered on Vevo's homepage last week and features local drummer Aaron Roy as a special guest (on both the track and in the video).
• Another area Hip Hop MC, Sleep, also got some props from Vevo, which showcased his stellar clip/track "I Shot Lincoln" on its homepage last month. Sleep released the amazing concept album Branded: The Damon Winton Story this past spring (one of my favorite albums of 2014 so far; check out a review here) but the "I Shot Lincoln" video/track (featuring special guest Kue the Vandal) is separate from that project. Like Branded, the "I Shot Lincoln" visuals are a little disturbing and unusual but endlessly engaging.

Konami has announced new details about Pro Evolution Soccer 11 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and PSP), the association football/soccer sequel due for release this autumn. Konami's big feature this go-round is to give you, the player, the ability (or 'freedom,' as the render below shouts) to control how powerful (or weak) your every pass and shot is. By the looks of it there will be little gauges that pop up so you're not guessing how much power you've put behind each pass; it'll be there for you to see in real-time.

Classy Porcia in a Short Skirt, Pantyhose and Boots
Classy Porcia is wearing a Short Skirt and Pantyhose, she's a pretty girl with expensive tastes, is she the kind of girl who takes it all off? Let's take a look…
Perhaps it's about time she lifts her skirt up to give us a better view. Wouldn't that be a treat…
Now things are starting to get interesting, the tease has started and we don't want it to stop. I wonder how much skin she shows in the site itself? Click on the Only Tease banner to discover Porcia
Now she's down to just her pantyhose, she's far more daring that we thought or was it down to a persuasive photographer? Click on the banner below to find out if she can be talked into showing even more of her hot body

Are The Jonas Brothers Breaking Up?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Please say this isn't so.
Our post-Christmas doldrums were already made worse by the news that Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner were no longer a couple. We can't handle another major break-up.
But that's exactly what an anonymous source is reporting about the most popular boy band on the planet, as rumors of a Jonas Brothers split are heating up.
"Joe sees the writing on the wall for the group," a family insider told Pop Eater. "Kevin's heart is just not in the group anymore. His wife Danielle is his number one priority, especially after their wedding night!"
Whoa. TMI, random source!
Might The Jonas Brothers be waving goodbye to their fans... forever?!?
While Kevin is reportedly too busy banging his brains out to make new music, Nick Jonas has the entirely opposite problem. Says the source:
"Nick sees himself as the next Justin Timberlake and brother Joe knows it."
There actually is some validity to that statement, as Nick's new band is going on tour in early 2010. But the next JT? Let's not get ahead of ourselves!
What do you think, readers? Could Kevin really follow in the sexy(back) foosteps of Justin Timberlake? Is Kevin really trading music for sex? Could Franke "Bonus Jonas" Jonas join the group? Sound off right now!
People who are talking about the Jonas Brothers Are LOSERZ And suck You guys get a life....just cuz you guys dont get money like that sukers....I LOVE YOU JONAS BROTHER hope you guys dont brake up.....
jonas brothers please do not break up you guys are the best.
why would they say that the jonas brothers where going to break up they are the like the best band group there is they should not break up your friend jennae.
I love the Jonas brothers they are amazing...they aren't jews their born again christians like me.
omg no i love the jonas brothers
The Jonas Brothers aren't breaking up, cuz on Disney Channel Nick was talking and he said that they weren't breaking up.
do not brack up if you do i am going to be mad never be happy so do not brak up ok i am you fan
they can not be breaking up nooooooooooooooooooooo

The Fourth of July is almost here, and normally that entails your friends, neighbors or family members shooting fireworks for the holiday.
However, not all fireworks are legal in the city and in this week's installment of "Outdoors with Mark and Chad", we have a look at local regulations and how to stay safe this fireworks season.
According to Lieutenant Jeremy Kopp, with the Wausau Fire Department, knowing the regulations for the state is something you first want to check on. "In the state of Wisconsin, they want to make sure that people are only buying fireworks that stay on the ground, otherwise, you need to get a permit in order to light fireworks off that leave the ground."
In addition, there some tips to remember when you do light fireworks that do not require permits. "These fireworks are extremely hot as well as sparklers... and they get extremely hot and we want people to be careful that they're not leaning over the top of them things like that and just the proper equipment and just read the directions so you know what it is going to do and know what they want you to do to be safe."
To have a look at your local fireworks displays and times, please check out our list below.

Stephen Chan | 31 July 2014 |
But to describe Hamas as merely a terrorist group is to miss its complexities.
A war which can have no outcome

Neither Israel nor Hamas believes that this will bring an end to their conflict.

considering average of hotel rates in denmark, the price is good for what you have. However the room is poor compared to the price. Good wi-fi, no noise, easy parking, nice restaurant, position near to highway.
room very poor considering the price. 2 star room with italian standard.
Clean, good wifi, breakfast
Little far from city centre
Easy to find
Hotel advertises that pets are welcome, but you don't get that feeling at check-in. I was put in a room that was stinking from smokers, and the dog was not allowed to be left alone in the room, not even if crated. So not a hotel to be recommended for anyone traveling with pets. No aircondition in the room. Standard of the hotel was more like that of a cheap motel.
The room was very hot and had no air-condition to cool it down.
Arrived at 9.05 pm asked if restaurant was open answer "NO" despite the fact it said "open till 9,30pm"! Would not recommend to anyone certainly not worth the money charged
Quiet, functional litlle place.
Breakfast was pretty poor.
Convinient location, nice rooms, beds and a good breakfast.
The shower was a bit unpleasent though. The water came out quite hard. The showerhead needs to be cleaned ;o)

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Jose Tabata's three-run double capped a seven-run fifth inning, as the Pittsburgh Pirates pounded the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, to remain atop the NL Central.
With St. Louis winning at home over Atlanta earlier Thursday, the Pirates needed a victory to keep the lead in the division. Pedro Alvarez hit a two-run ground-rule double to start the big frame, and Pittsburgh kept its one-game edge on the Cardinals.
Garrett Jones and Jordy Mercer belted solo homers off Matt Cain, who left with a contusion on his right forearm after he was hit by a line drive in the fourth inning.
Jeff Locke threw 73 pitches over the first four innings and was replaced by Jeanmar Gomez (3-0), who breezed through the ensuing three hitless innings in the opener of this four-game series.
"He maintained rhythm warming up. He maintained that posture," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of his decision to replace Locke with Gomez after the long seven-run top of the inning.
Marco Scutaro and pinch-hitter Brandon Crawford had two-run hits for the Giants, who lost for the fourth time in five games. Brett Pill had three of San Francisco's eight hits.
Cain entered the contest having tossed 15 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings against the Pirates. He was 3-0 with a 1.24 ERA in his last six starts against them, but allowed an RBI single to Andrew McCutchen in the opening inning and the homers to Jones and Mercer in the second. Jones' blast landed in San Francisco Bay, as he snapped an 0-for-19 slump.
Cain gave up seven hits over his 3 1/3 innings and was forced out of the game when Gaby Sanchez laced a ball that glanced off the pitcher as he tried to protect himself. Cain walked off the field and was replaced by Guillermo Moscoso (1-2).
"He took a pretty good shot there. He's going to be sore for a while," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who noted there's a chance Cain could miss his next start.
X-rays taken were negative.
"We are fortunate and he is. He's tough," added Bochy. "Once we got out there, you could see it starting to swell up."
Buster Posey's sacrifice fly in the third plated Scutaro, who singled to center the next inning to tie the game.
The Pirates sent 11 men to the plate in the fifth. A wild Moscoso walked two batters and hit Tabata to start the bottom half. Jose Mijares then gave up Alvarez's two-run hit. Russell Martin and Sanchez tacked on sacrifice flies. Locke's single kept the inning going, and Tabata then cleared the bases with his smash to left.
Crawford hit a two-run ground-rule double to center in the eighth inning. Tony Watson then struck out Nick Noonan with two men in scoring position.
The Pirates, who have won three of their last four games, recorded their
9,800th win in franchise history since joining the National League in 1887.
They are the sixth major league team to reach the mark, joining the Giants,
Cubs, Braves, Dodgers and Yankees ... McCutchen has hit safely in each of his
last nine games against the Giants at a .459 (17-for-37) clip ... Alvarez has
nine RBI in his last seven games ... The Giants placed outfielder Andres
Torres on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left Achilles tendon. The
team also optioned pitcher Michael Kickham to Triple-A Fresno, while recalling
infielder Nick Noonan and outfielder Francisco Peguero from Fresno ... Giants
third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who was been held out of the lineup the last two
games due to a sore back, started and went 1-for-3 with two runs scored.
Portland State fired football coach Nigel Burton on Wednesday after the Vikings struggled to a 3-9 season.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley on season-ending injured reserve Thursday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly come to terms with Cuban power-hitting outfielder Yasmany Tomas on a six-year, $68.5 million contract.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed Wednesday night's game against Indiana after undergoing a minor medical procedure.
The National Hockey League handed down a pair of suspensions on Thanksgiving, one to a member of an American-based club and one to a member of a Canadian franchise.

Manufacturer's Disclaimer
Do not use as a sole source of nutrition for weight loss or maintenance. Keep out of reach of children.
I love Gaspari, and especially the Myofusion Probiotic, which is what lead me to try this with the higher calories. Its like eating sawdust, especially if mixed with water. Hard to drink at first. Going to try mixing it with some Myofusion to get it down. Have not tried any of the flavors other than vanilla.

My reactions are two fold.
1 LOL he left because he didn't get to coach.
2 Who cares? What was he going to be in his current position until he's 90? Even if the impetus was not getting to coach it's none of our business but I'm sure every1 is going to be telling the guy what he should and shouldn't be doing. Hypocritical insults will fly and for no real reason because even if he's a baby or a ******* or whatever it does not matter in any way shape or form in regards to this franchise, we fans, anything of import I guess other than this new rink. The irony and hypocrisy is that even if we call him spoiled and a baby we are simultaneously being spoiled babies

Increase your nonverbal know-how with pointers from presentation pro Matthew Kohut.
Matthew Kohut is the co-author of Compelling People: The Hidden Qualities That Make Us Influential.
Stretch Your Confidence "Before walking into a high-stakes situation, raise your arms as high as you can, making yourself as big as possible for a minute or two," Kohut says. "Your mind will listen to your body's signal, resulting in a hormonal reaction that increases your comfort level and decreases your fight-or-flight response to stress."
Play Hand Ball "Avoid awkward gestures by imagining you have a ball in your hands. Start with a volleyball, and position both hands between your waist and your hips. Depending on the point you're trying to make, the ball can grow to the size of a beach ball or shrink to the size of a marble between your thumb and index finger."
Keep Your Head Up "Slightly tilting your head conveys warmth. This gesture is useful when listening attentively to someone but can be interpreted as uncertainty or a lack of confidence in a business setting. When trying to project professionalism and self-assurance, keep your head upright."
Own the Space "There's a difference between using space comfortably and pacing back and forth like a caged animal. Move deliberately and with a sense of purpose while you're speaking. For example, you might walk to a specific spot, make a point or two to the people seated there, then head in the opposite direction to engage the other side of the room."

Moving Forward on the Path to NFC Adoption0
Posted on 15th May 2013 by Nicole Williams in Telecom
It's a very 'mobile' time of year, with two of our favorite conferences lined up for the next couple of weeks – the 2013 NFC Solutions Summit and CTIA 2013. So, it should come as no surprise that we have NFC technology on our minds.
With an emerging technology like NFC, it's interesting to look back over the year and see how far we have come. Last year at the NFC Solutions Summit, the lack of available NFC-enabled handsets was an issue that was cited often as the biggest barrier to NFC adoption. In very basic terms, there are three steps to NFC adoption, with handsets the essential first step:
- Make NFC-enabled handsets available
- Introduce lots of useful and secure NFC applications for consumers
- Powered with NFC handsets, increasing numbers of consumers will try out NFC applications and gain confidence in the technology, leading to broader adoption
This year at the Summit, I'm expecting a different conversation, as step one can essentially be marked off the list. ABI Research estimates that there will be more than half a billion NFC-enabled handsets available by 2014. The handsets are here, so it's time to focus on the next step: the applications.
What kinds of applications will consumers enjoy using most? NFC mobile payments get the most buzz, but there are numerous possibilities for NFC applications that don't include payments at all. The ability to interact, download and exchange information with other NFC-enabled devices, smart tags and posters opens up opportunities for applications that enable more convenient transportation, next-generation retail loyalty programs, authentication and identity management, and interactive marketing. Because many of the non-payment types of applications are easy and quick to deploy, they are great candidates to be the ones that consumers experience first to get them hooked on NFC technology.
We'll be using our time in California at the NFC Solutions Summit to share knowledge and collaborate with our peers on this next step on the path to NFC. Some of the topics our executives will be presenting on include: security options for various applications; lessons learned through several global rollouts of Trusted Service Manager (TSM); and the state of NFC business solutions today and opportunities for the future.
After the Summit we'll be heading to Las Vegas for CTIA 2013. In my next blog I'll be detailing the Mobile Communications and Machine-to-Machine innovations that we will be showcasing at the event, so watch this space! Will you be at either conference? Let me know below.
