By Rana K. Williamson, PhD, Better Merchant Accounts
While chip-based credit cards have become the standard in Europe, the "smart" cards have been slow to catch on in the United States. In this country, both companies and users seem more inclined to opt for payment strategies linked to their smartphones. Regardless, however, chains are finding ways to leverage credit card payments for social networking through a variety of creative strategies.
Perhaps the best news for chains is that consumers are starting to use their credit again. Delinquency rates are down by 20%, and charge-offs by 37%. In part, this may be due to the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 or Credit CARD Act of 2009, which put an end to many of the aggressive tactics card companies previously used to sign up young customers.
Credit card companies opt for social media strategies
Instead, card companies have ramped up their social media strategies, and chains have piggy backed their own marketing efforts on to those programs. For instance:
American Express has a program called "Link, Like, Love" which offers discounts based on users' Facebook and Twitter activities. Chase held a $1 million Facebook sweepstakes and did similar giveaways for $1000 Amazon.com gift cards. The company's LivingSocial Credit Card is tied to a $20 introductory bonus and five "points" per dollar spent on qualified LivingSocial purchases that can then be redeemed.
In an even more "virtual" approach, Discover ran a promotion through the popular Farmville gaming community offering new customers $100 in virtual game currency. Citi customers who are also Facebook members have the option of pooling their rewards points to redeem gifts or to make charitable contributions.
Merchants cash in on social strategies
On the other end of the spectrum, local merchants and chains are cashing in on the impetus for social marketing by offering deals through communities like Facebook, Twitter, and Living Social. For many people, the double lure of getting a credit card discount (or accruing points) as well as a "deal" from the merchant is almost irresistible.
Consumers who visit the LivingSocial page are prompted to supply their location and give an email address to opt-in for a free membership. They are then asked to specify their gender, family status, and home ZIP code, which customizes the results even more specifically.
The LivingSocial page, which, as a Pinterest-like interface, makes it easy for consumers to browse deals, and the benefit for chains is clearly evident in the section for Takeout and Delivery, where restaurants listed include Subway, Quiznos, and Schlotzsky's are prominent among various local eateries.
As a further example, the Quizno's Facebook page offers links to specials and free offerings. Pair that with a LivingSocial deal and pay for it with a LivingSocial card? You begin to see how the overlap not only drives consumer behavior, but links multiple benefits. The Quizno's Facebook page constitutes free advertising with every "like" or comment. The chain makes money. The credit card companies make money. The consumer is more inclined to use the card based on a trusted recommendation and with a real-time savings involved.
As social networking and payment strategies continue to become more intertwined, predictions suggest Americans' buying behavior will become even less cash-based and more socially driven. In 2012, 81% of all money spent in restaurants, for instance, was placed on debit, credit, or prepaid cards. The merger of all these technologies is not only inevitable, but ripe with potential for both the card companies and chain entities.
Rana K. Williamson, PhD, a freelance writer and researcher, covers a wide range of topics for Better Merchant Accounts, with a particular interest in technology, the Internet, and the emerging business systems of the 21st century.

The Human Rights Campaign is excited to launch its eleventh video for the New Yorkers for Marriage Equality campaign with the addition of attorney, author and activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy's voice raises the profile of this timely fight for equal marriage rights in the Empire State. The new video can be viewed online at www.hrc.org/NY4marriage.
Discussing the right to marry, Kennedy compares the discrimination faced by same-sex couples to the Jim Crowe laws of the south. "This is the last vestige of institutionalized bigotry that's left in this country, and we need to get rid of it."
In this eleventh installment, Kennedy joins Mayor Bloomberg, Whoopi Goldberg, Fran Drescher, Moby, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Julianne Moore, designer Kenneth Cole and Broadway star Daphne Rubin-Vega to support marriage equality in the state. HRC plans to continue joining with prominent New Yorkers speaking out in support for marriage equality. Many more voices are to come in the days ahead, including: David Chang, Tom Colicchio, Ethan and Ryan Hawke, Christopher Meloni and Joan Rivers.
A January 2011 Siena Research Institute Poll found 57% of New Yorkers support marriage equality. In another poll released today by Quinnipiac University, New Yorkers support marriage equality by the highest margin ever in that poll (56% to 37% opposed).


text: So, what else did BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall have to say today? By now, you've probably read about the tempest that arose when BYU players showed up for photo day today wearing jerseys with the words "Spirit" and "Tradition" and "Honor" on the back. Here's my recap in The Salt Lake Tribune on a wild five hours. Frankly, I am surprised that Bronco gave in to the wishes of his players in a team meeting. When he talked to reporters around 3 p.m. at the indoor practice facility, he seemed very adamant that he loved the idea of wearing the jerseys with the values, or pillars (as he calls them), of the program on the nameplates for the entire season. The media was not allowed to watch any portions of practice this morning BYU's first of fall camp in full pads so our chat with Mendenhall during photo day was it, as far as access to the coach was concerned."It was good," Mendenhall said of the morning workout. "Our practice last night was really good. It was very physical, very competitive, and I would say each day it kinda shifts one way or the other as to if you had to name a winner or a loser, and it kinda shifted back defensively today with the same kind of physicality that was demonstrated yesterday." So the defense responded, just as safety Daniel Sorensen said it would, after getting ripped pretty good Wednesday night with three long touchdown drives in the space of about 13 minutes of real time. Here are a few more comments from Mendenhall this afternoon: On the new offensive coaching staff and whether it can tap into Ross Apo's potential: "Ross Apo, number one, his personal choice to be absolutely committed from spring practice through the summer, through fall camp, has helped his play probably more than the new staff, and the new system. He has just grown up and he has matured, and he has played, to this point this spring, and fall, the way that I believe he was capable of. It has been really fun to see. He is making laying out catches, he is making tough catches. He is in great condition. I think coach Holliday has helped bring that out in him. I think coach Anae has in terms of toughness. But the players can't survive unless they are fiercely conditioned, and he has done that as well. So he is thriving right now."On whether Apo and Cody Hoffman can put pressure on defenses:"I think they are just two of them. We got a lot of good wide receivers. Mitch Mathews is doing a really nice job. As you already mentioned, Cody Hoffman. Skyler Ridley is doing a nice job. Eric Thornton is doing a nice job. JD Falslev is really having a nice camp. I feel pretty comfortable with that position right now."On Kyle Van Noy getting another honor, first-team All-America by Sports Illustrated:"It is great for the program, and it is great for Kyle, and it is well-deserved and well-earned. ... It is kind of becoming like, 'that is just the next one.' Maybe he is really understanding the significance of it now. I am more focused on what is our next meeting like at 4 o clock. Maybe I will be able to ponder it and think about the real significance of it maybe after the year. But he has earned through his play the accolades he is getting. It is great for our program, and it is great for him, and I am lucky he is here....Kyle can play with anyone in the country, at any position, in any league."On whether Van Noy has exceeded Bronco's expectations:"No. I would say he has yet to meet my expectations. Kyle has still plenty of room to grow. That's our relationship. My job is to help him reach his potential. And I don't think he is there yet. Even though he is getting all these honors and recognition he is receiving, there is a lot more he can do, and I think he wants to. "On having Eathyn Manumaleuna back:"Well, he was starting in front of Ziggy [Ansah] a year ago, and now he is back and he is playing really, really well. He is helping Bronson Kaufusi come along, he is helping Remington Peck come along. He is helping all the defensive linemen. He is a really good player, and very experienced." On whether this is the best group of wide receivers he's had at BYU:"It is the most at any one time. When you go back to Tod Watkins and Austin Collie combination, that was pretty powerful, but not much depth behind them. We are deeper than we have ever been, with good players." On how his defense handles the Robert Anae offense:"It is a challenge. I was supposed to be in a staff meeting 15 minutes ago because there are new things each day that are forcing us to dig deeper and try to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. Not only the tempo, but defining some of the plays, and what they are. Man, if someone is trying to do that in one week's time, I think that will be pretty hard." On whether it is the tempo that's hard to defend:"Not only that, it is the number of plays. It is the nature of the play. But then it is, what are the plays? And diagnosing what they are at the speed at which they are being run. And then if you can't identify it, how do you stop it? And if you are forced in real time to make those adjustments, I think it is going to be really difficult, within a quarter, a series, a half or an entire spring and now five days into fall camp. I think there is still something each day that is relatively new in terms of assignment or stressing the defense in different ways. So I really like it."

TV High School Sweethearts That Put a Ring On It
Even though Valentine's Day is over, love lingers in the air. So in honor of new relationships and long romances, and, ya know, the fact that this whole Finchel wedding thing is really happening, we've put together a list of our favorite TV character couples that dated in high school and decided to take things to the next level and get engaged. While some may say they're too young for such a commitment, these happy couples dare to disagree. Do you?
Our favorite sarcastic couple, Seth and Summer from The OC, had an on-again, off-again relationship. Dating in high school, breaking up, dating in college, breaking up again…it all gets pretty confusing. Even their engagement, which was triggered by a pregnancy scare, was on, then off, then on again. These two eventually do get hitched.
Nathan may of had false pretenses when he first started hanging out with Haley on One Tree Hill, but the basketball star soon realized the feelings he was developing couldn't be ignored. The power couple hardly had time to bask in their engagement, as they got married right away. Then came baby Jamie!
Rachel and Finn, everyone's favorite couple on Glee, are engaged! A heart-felt proposal from Finn made us all swoon, but is the couple moving too fast? Rachel's dads and Finn's parents are among the many that think so. Only time will tell if the two are destined to tie the knot.
How perfect were Matt and Julie on Friday Night Lights? The coach's daughter and the star quarterback dated throughout high school, with a few hiccups a long the way. Once graduation and college came around, the two fizzled out and our hearts were broken. Reminding us that true love does exist, Matt got down on one knee in front of The Alamo Freeze and asked Julie to marry him. Swoon.
Topanga and Cory from Boy Meets World are TV's staple high school sweethearts. We watched them grow up, argue, cry, and laugh together. On the night of their high school graduation, Topanga took the reigns and asked Cory for his hand in marriage. So much girl power!
Which couple do you think had the cutest proposal? Is it a good idea to get engaged in high school? Think Rachel and Finn will get married? Tell us in the comments!

Singapore, Singapore, 2009/11/11 - The Vietnamese integrated facilities management (IFM) services market is poised grow, thanks to a spate of construction activities, especially in the commercial office space in cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
In fact, in Ho Chi Minh City, grade A office space is likely to increase to three times its current size between 2009 and 2011. Hanoi is also expected to experience signification expansion of office space in 2009, and the overall occupancy is projected to be around 90 percent.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (buildingtechnologies.frost.com), Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) Services Market in Vietnam, finds that market earned revenues of $1.2 million in 2008 and estimates this to reach $12.9 million by 2015.
The presence of multinational companies in the country will considerably up the ante in the construction industry, as they will be more inclined to use state-of-the-art technologies in their commercial buildings. Not only will these buildings be more technologically advanced, but their facilities will also be managed more professionally.
"As the new buildings will have to adhere to stringent environmental norms, the demand for environmental consulting, as part of the IFM service offering, is anticipated to swell," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Ranajay Dasgupta.
While IFM service providers will be heartened by the opportunities opening up, their market expansion plans will be hampered by the low awareness levels of their potential customers.
Building owners are reluctant to outsource the entire management of their facility to expensive third-party IFM service providers and instead, prefer to manage them in-house or out-task to specialized facilities management service providers such as cleaners or security service providers. This is because in Vietnam, facilities management is considered no different from routine cleaning and maintenance tasks.
"IFM service providers have to educate their potential customers about the long-term benefits of their value-added services compared to the regular cleaning or security services," notes Dasgupta. "They should highlight their expertise in energy and cost management to address the rising concern about pollution and energy conservation."

Two major milestones were achieved:
•The passage of unprecedented reforms aimed at improved governance, transparency and gender equality.
•The election of a new President who was committed to implementing those reforms with conviction.
The Chairman of FFA, Steven Lowy, said that although FFA had voted for Prince Ali of Jordan, Australia was pleased with the overall progress made on the day.
"Today was the best day FIFA has had in many years," Lowy said. "The mood for change was in the air and the Congress voted overwhelmingly to move forward with a new structure and new leadership to implement it."
Mr Lowy said newly elected FIFA President Gianni Infantino was an impressive and experienced football administrator who appreciated the challenge FIFA faced in restoring its credibility.
"David Gallop and I have met him several times in the past few months and have been impressed with his knowledge, his energy and his determination to lead FIFA into a new era," Lowy said.
Lowy added Australia was especially proud of the role FFA director Moya Dodd played in promoting the reform agenda, especially the proposals dealing with gender equality.
"We will now move forward to continue playing a productive role as a member of the Asian Football Confederation and the world football community."

Richard Beasley, who was sentenced to death for the murders of three men he lured to a southern Ohio property through a Craigslist Ad for a job, is appealing his sentence to the Ohio Supreme Court. Beasley, who posted the ads from a room he rented in Akron, claims he didn't receive a fair trial because of the pre-trial publicity surrounding the case that made it impossible to select an impartial jury.
Death Sentence for One of Two Craigslist Killers Examined
Richard Beasley was accused in 2011 of using the classified advertising website Craigslist.org to list a job on a farm in southeastern Ohio to lure interested candidates and kill them for their belongings. His case and the trialof his co-defendant, a minor named Brogran Rafferty, attracted national attention. Rafferty was convicted first, in 2012, and sentenced to life in prison. In March of the next year, a jury convicted Beasley for the murders of three men, the attempted murder of another man, and robbery, kidnapping, theft, identity fraud, and weapons offenses. He was sentenced to death.
In State v. Beasley, his appeal directly to the Supreme Court, Beasley argues he didn't receive a fair trial because a "maelstrom" of pretrial publicity made it impossible to select an impartial jury in Summit County. Representing the state, the Attorney General's Office maintains that Beasley never presented evidence to the trial court to support this claim, and his case isn't a rare or extreme one that justifies moving the trial to another location.
Among several other arguments, Beasley also challenges testimony from several witnesses about what the victims and others said to them. Noting his constitutional right to confront witnesses against him, he describes this testimony as hearsay and argues none should have been admitted at trial. The state responds that all the statements qualified as exceptions to the hearsay rule and were properly allowed by the court.
Executive Producer and Director of "The Akron Holy War" Anthony Fanelli spoke with Sam and Brad Thursday to talk about the premiere of the documentary on the high school football rivalry between the Knights and the Fighting Irish on the gridiron.
Fanelli, a 2002 Hoban graduate played in the rivalry and is currently living in California.
The documentary's premiere will take place at the Akron Civic Theatre on Sunday, September 17 at 7pm.

The official trailer for the film can be seen below.
UPDATE: The teenaged driver, charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and more in the fatal crash that took two other teens' lives back in July, made her first court appearance in Summit County Juvenile Court Thursday. Her attorney, on her behalf, entered a denial to the charges, the equivalent to a "not guilty" plea in adult court. She has been remanded to the custody of her parents until her next appearance in court on September 12th, at 10:30 a.m.
Akron attorney Adam VanHo, who is representing the girl, says she has never been in trouble with the law, adding that she is remorseful and is having a hard time dealing with the accident that claimed the life of her cousin and another young girl.
On Thursday, the Akron Police Department Traffic Reconstruction Unit has signed off on charges that have been filed against a 16-year-old Akron girl for her part in a fatal accident involving an Akron Fire truck.
According to the police report, the teenager drove through a red light at the intersection of West Exchange Street and South Rhodes Avenue in Akron on July 14th at 3:46 p.m. An Akron Fire truck that was traveling southbound through the intersection slammed into the teen's Chevy Trailblazer. Two girls, a 15-year-old from Akron and a 16-year-old from Tallmadge were killed in the accident.
The teen, whose name hasn't been released, is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of vehicular manslaughter, one count of running a red light, vehicular assault, operating a vehicle on a temporary permit without a licensed driver, and operating a vehicle with more than one juvenile passenger, according to Akron Police.
Following the accident, the girl was transported to the Summit County Juvenile Detention Center.
The smokestacks have been partially cut down at the B.F. Goodrich plant on South Main Street for safety reasons, but the remains of the stacks that were trimmed can now be purchased.
The decision to shorten the northern stack came after the City of Akron was told the cost to preserve it would be around $1 Million, in addition to the growing concern for area residents safety as deterioration was causing loose bricks to fall. Demolition took place earlier this year, knocking off nearly 100 feet from the north stack. The bricks from that demolition were preserved and are now available to buy for $50 apiece, limited to three bricks per person.
"While the partial removal of the northern stack was an unfortunate necessity, it creates a unique opportunity for individuals to own a piece of Akron's rich industrial history," Mayor Horrigan said in a press release Thursday.
The more than 350 racers who descended on Derby Downs this week for the FirstEnergy All American Soap Box Derby knew they would have to face one another. On Saturday, they also had to contend with Mother Nature.
Two torrential downpours forced rain delays that prompted the cancellation of the annual Mayor's Cup race for VIPs. But by the end of the day, seven new champions were crowned.
Only two Akron area racers cracked the top nine in their respective classes. Savannah Fitzgerald of Portage County finished seventh in the Local Super Stock division while Alexis Slack of Green was the seventh place finisher in the Rally Masters division.

Akron officials are making the case for the proposed 0.25 percent income tax increase that is expected to appear on the ballot later this year. The $16 million projected annual revenue increase will be earmarked for police, fire, and road improvements.
Chief Clarence Tucker of the Akron Fire Department joined Jasen to explain the dismal condition of several of his firehouses, discuss additional needs that could be fulfilled by the added tax revenue, and talk about what his department has done to be fiscally responsible.
The Akron Public Schools announced the elimination of 93 positions Monday, including 31 teachers and 35 tutors. Much of the blame for the layoffs was placed on the merger of Kenmore High School and Garfield High School.
Akron School Board President Patrick Bravo and School Board member Lisa Mansfield joined Jasen Tuesday to talk about what the layoffs will mean for students and whether some of the laid off staff members could still get jobs within the district.
Reaction came fast Thursday to Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan's proposal to raise the city income tax from 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent. Akron City Council President Marilyn Keith (D-Ward 8), Budget Committe Chairman Mike Freeman (D-Ward 9), and Councilwoman Tara Mosley Samples (D-Ward 5) joined Jasen to give their thoughts on the plan and respond to concerns raised by the listeners.
Less than one week after a 19-month-old Akron boy overdosed on opioids in his home, and then eventually died as a result, Akron Police are investigating another child overdose.
The latest happened Tuesday night. Akron Police Lt. Rick Edwards says officers responded to Akron Children's Hospital where the boy was taken by his mother. He was given NARCAN at the hospital and revived. Last check he was in stable condiiton at the hospital.
Lt. Edwards says the boy's mother told them she left her son with her 5-year-old and 7-year-old daughters outside for just a moment. When she came back outside, the mother noticed her son was stumbling and acting funny. It was when the boy started going in and out of consciousness that she drove him to Akron Children's ER.
No charges have been filed in the case, but while the investigation is ongoing, all three children have been placed in the custody of Summit County Children's Services. Lt. Edwards tells 1590 WAKR that this is a safety precaution as the investigation continues.
A local Akron City Schools teacher is standing up for Akron's own super hero, LeBron James, after his Los Angeles-area home was vandalized last week before the start of the NBA Finals in Oakland.
Jennifer Pennington, an English as a Second Language teacher at Jennings CLC says tells the Jasen Sokol Show that when she heard that someone had spray-painted a racial slur across the outer gate of LeBron's west coast home, she wanted to get the message out that this word shouldn't be used to describe LeBron or anyone for that matter.
"I just kept thinking about it and thinking about it," Pennington said, "and I thought I just want to do this; I want to put some signs up and I want to respond."
And respond she did, with homemade signs that read "Hero" and "Humanitarian" and "Role Model" and more. She pulled up to LeBron's Bath Township home, and with the OK of the security working the property, she put them up outside along the street.
There's been no response from LeBron, who is back home ahead of the NBA Finals Game 3 at Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday against the Warriors; but there's no doubt he's heard about it as Sports Illustrated was one of the first news outlets to run with the story.
The Cavs are down two games to none to the Warriors in the Finals. Game 3 tips off just after 9 p.m. Wednesday night on 1590 WAKR.

This first-time effort, happening June 1-7, 2017, involves more than 1,100 Goodyear associates, retirees and their loved ones who will provide an estimated 5,700 hours of volunteer service to Akron-area non-profit organizations. Company locations in Brazil and China will join the effort with volunteer activities in their local communities.
The Week of Volunteering builds on the company's long-standing commitment to caring for communities where Goodyear operates. The company's corporate responsibility platform – known as Goodyear Better Future - focuses on safe, smart and sustainable community engagement programs that engage associates and create positive community outcomes.
"Volunteerism and community engagement are part of Goodyear's history and the foundation of our corporate social responsibility efforts," said Richard J. Kramer, chairman, chief executive officer and president. "The Week of Volunteering represents a step to connect more of our associates with the community and to encourage them to contribute their time, skills and resources on behalf of Goodyear throughout the year."
Through more than 60 projects, Goodyear volunteers will refurbish a camp for kids, stock community foodbanks, install smoke alarms and educate community members about road safety.
In addition to hands-on volunteer efforts that will have Goodyear associates rolling up their sleeves, the company also is offering skills-based volunteer programs where associates provide their professional skills and expertise to local non-profits. The skills-based training will include Goodyear associates providing IT consulting for non-profits, training middle school students on presentation skills, and engaging K-12 students in job shadowing activities. Non-profit representatives will also be invited to attend professional development workshops delivered by Goodyear experts in areas such as leadership development, career growth for employees and project management.
"This new Week of Volunteering and our growing emphasis on skills-based volunteerism make us excited for what's ahead," said Alison White, Goodyear's director of community engagement. "We're thrilled to empower our associates to provide their professional expertise to the community, in a way that can help make a sustained and impactful difference."

On Monday, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan proposed legislation that would regulate any potential medical marijuana facilities, including dispensaries or grow houses, within the city limits.
The move is ahead the State of Ohio issuing licenses to businesses for cultivation, processing, testing, and despensing of medical marijuana.
In his proposed regulations, Mayor Horrigan outlines guidelines that restrict any medical marijuana facility operating within 500 feet of a school, church, library, playground, or park, and requires City Council to issue a special conditional use of medical marijuana business before it can operate in the city. The ordinance also implements a melti-step local licensing process and give cart blanche to Akron Police to inspect any medical marijuana facility at any time.
Back in September of 2016, one month after the State of Ohio passed medical marijuana statewide, Mayor Horrigan placed a one-year moratorium on the "issuance or processing of any license, building permit, certificate of occupancy, conditional use or other authorization that would enable the cultivation, processing, or dispensing of medical marijuana within the City of Akron."
A public hearing before Akron City Council regarding the proposed zoning regulation of medical marijuana factilities is scheduled for Monday, May 1.
In front of Akron's top brass, Bridgestone/Firestone executives, and the media, Bridgestone cut the ribbon on the new Akron Data Center Tuesday morning, unveiling a new, re-purposed national IT hub.
The building, located at the Bridgestone Firestone Tech Center on Main St. in Akron, has been there and operational since 1968. Bridgestone is celebrating 17,724 consecutive days of service from that data center, and say that now the center is capable of holding 3,000-times the amount of data from when the first servers were put in place.
Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan thanked Bridgestone for their commitment to Akron. Bridgestone Chief Information Officer Robert Olds said it was important to the company for this centralized data center, that will combine the operations of five data centers across the U.S. One-hundred and forty employees, in both IT and print, will work out of the data center or remotely through the data center. The environmentally-friendly cooling system was manufactured by Akron-based Air Enterprises, and utilizes outside air to cool the center 70% of the year. The only time mechanical cooling would be required is when the outside temperature reaches above 70 degrees.
With the state licensing process about to get underway for Ohio's medical marijuana facilities, the City of Akron is getting ready to implement rules of its own.
A package of rules unveiled Monday would keep medical marijuana facilities at least 500 feet from any Akron school, park, playground, library, or church. It would also require the facilities to receive approval from City Council to operate and would implement an annual licensing and fee structure.
Ellen Lander Nischt, Assistant Director of Law and spokesperson for the City of Akron, joined Jasen to talk about the proposal and explain that Akron is not trying to regulate the medical marijuana industry out of Akron.
(City of Akron) (Monday), Mayor Horrigan introduced legislation to Akron City Council that would heavily regulate potential medical marijuana facilities in the City of Akron, in anticipation of the State of Ohio's issuance of licenses to businesses for cultivation, processing, testing, and dispensing of medical marijuana across the State. The proposed regulations would prevent facilities from locating in residential areas, or within 500 feet of a school, church, library, playground, or park, and require Council to issue a special conditional use to a medical marijuana business before it can operate in the City limits. Additionally, the ordinance would implement a multi-step local licensing process and allow the Akron Police to inspect any medical marijuana facility at any time.
In September of 2016, Mayor Horrigan introduced, and Akron City Council passed, a one-year moratorium on the "issuance or processing of any license, building permit, certificate of occupancy, conditional use or other authorization that would enable the cultivation, processing, or dispensing of medical marijuana within the City of Akron." The moratorium was issued to enable the City to study and review the new Ohio medical marijuana law (H.B. 523) and other applicable zoning, business, and criminal laws and regulations. Today's ordinance is the result of the City's careful study of the new Ohio law, and decision to strictly regulate these businesses, should they seek to locate in Akron.
"The Ohio General Assembly established a system to allow Ohio residents to access medical marijuana, with their physician's recommendation, to treat serious medical conditions like cancer, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy," Mayor Horrigan said. "Recognizing that medical marijuana will now be legal across Ohio, we felt it necessary to enact additional local restrictions that will limit where medical marijuana businesses can locate in Akron and give us greater control over licensing, regulating, and inspecting these facilities to make sure they are being operated in a legal, appropriate, and safe way. The goal of this ordinance is to allow patients to access legal medical treatment while ensuring that these facilities do not have any unwanted impact on our neighborhoods. We will continue to enforce existing criminal laws and will closely monitor the impact of this new law to safeguard the health, safety and vitality of the entire community."
The City also created a two-page fact sheet outlining the new Ohio law and how it will impact Akron, available at https://goo.gl/Ck0GoJ. A public hearing before City Council regarding the proposed zoning regulation of medical marijuana facilities is scheduled for Monday, May 1, 2017.
Employees at the Greenstar Recycling Center on Exeter Road in Akron made a grisly discovery while sorting through recyclables: a dead body.
The body was found Thursday during the morning shift about 7:30 a.m. at Greenstar on a conveyor belt.
On Friday morning, the Summit County Medical Examiner came back with a positive ID on the body. He has been identified as 52-year-old David Moran of Akron. They are still working to determine the cause of death.
Summit County foreclosed on the Rubber Bowl this week, saying stadium ownership group Team1 Marketing owes nearly $200,000 in back taxes. But one of the partners of Team1 says his group has a plan to not only pay off the back taxes, but bring music festivals to the decaying facility.
Sean Mason would like to see the city assume ownership of the property and lease it back to Team1. That would allow the city to more easily change the property's zoning. Mason says it would also prompt an investor to come on board to assist with the renovation of the stadium, which has gone largely unused since The University of Akron left for Infocision Stadium after the 2008 football season.
Mason joined Jasen to discuss his plan and address the concern held by some that the plan is unfeasible.
Some studies published the Akron Beacon Journal showed some surprising statistics about the area as far as population and median income. As is the case in many Rust Belt towns, city leaders are always looking for ways of bringing residents into the area. Akron mayor Dan Horrigan joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss what he and his associates plan to do. Horrigan looks at the residents like they are customers, and what would the customers what they want out of their city. The most important aspects of a city, according to the mayor, are job growth, safe neighborhoods, and a strong downtown. As far as the neighborhoods go, Horrigan says city planners are looking at what areas are ready and what needs to be built up. He also puts a lot of value in a city's strengths and landmarks, such as the Goodyear area and near the hospitals.
If you've been listening to Akron's leaders recently, you've probably heard the phrase "Welcoming City" quite a few times. Mayor Dan Horrigan's latest step toward that label extends the welcome to members of the LGBT community.
Horrigan and Councilman Rich Swirsky (D-Ward 1) proposed a city nondiscrimination ordinance Monday. If passed by City Council, the ordinance would ban discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, familial status, sex, gender identity or expresson, sexual orientation, or military status. It would apply in the areas of housing, employment, public accomodations, and city contracts. Exceptions would be made for religious groups and the Akron Public Schools.
While state and federal law already outlaws discrimination against most of the groups covered by Akron's law, it does not include provisions for sexual orientation and gender identity.
Violations of the ordinance would be investigated by a new Civil Rights Commission made up of 5-7 people appointed by the mayor and confirmed by Council. The commission would have the power to penalize those who violate the ordinance.
Horrigan joined The Jasen Sokol Show Monday to discuss the proposed ordinance.
Akron Police are looking for help for a suspect they say punched and then shot a man he was arguing with Saturday morning.
It happened around 2 a.m. inside a home on West Crosier St. According to the police report, John R. Meeks, 28, was involved in an argument with the 41-year-old victim. It turned physical and Meeks allegedly punched the victim in the face. Then, police say, Meeks pulled out a handgun and shot the victim "several times" in the abdomen. Meeks then fled the season.
The victim was later transported to Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital with potential life-threatening injuries. There's been no update on the victim's status.
Meeks is charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault. Anyone with information on his whereabouts are asked to not approach him and to call 911 immediately.
During his "State of the City" address today, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan promised to do more with less, and to continue efforts to revitalize the city of despite continued economic challenges.
Horrigan pointed to action he's taken over the past year to reduce spending on city health care benefits, to increase collection of funds owed to the city, and to cut the cost of the city's massive sewer improvement project, as examples of progress.
He also pledged that support for basic city services such as police, fire, and road maintenance, will remain strong.
The State of the City event also included an appearance from Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro, who presented a $50,000 check for a law school endowment to University of Akron President, Matthew Wilson.
The money will be used for scholarships, and was given to the University in honor of former County Executive, Russ Pry, who passed away last year.
The Summit County Medical Examiner has released the identity of the recycling worker who died on the job in Akron last week.
On February 22nd, Eric Russell, 24, reportedly became trapped inside a baler machine at Greenstar Recycling at 1535 Exeter Road in Akron.
It has been ruled an accident. An investigation into how it happened is ongoing.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Rodney Lee Hylton, 49, of Akron, in connection to the home explosion on Courtland Avenue at South Hawkins in Akron last week.
Hylton, who was renting the home on Courtland, is charged with Aggravated Arson and Arson, both felony counts, in the explosion and fire. Hylton was inside the Courtland home at the time of the explosion and has been in the hospital since.
The two counts are because the neighboring home on South Hawkins.

Billy Patterson, 19, of Akron plead guilty in Summit County Common Pleas Court Tuesday to breaking into his elderly neighbor's home and raping her.
The charges against Patterson were 1st degree felony Rape, Aggravated Burglary, also a first degree felony, and Felonious Assault in the second degree.
The incident in question occured back on September 24, 2016, in the middle of the night. Court documents show Patterson broke into the 71-year-old woman's home, hit her in the face multiple times, and choked here to near unconciousness. Then he proceeded to rape the victim, who she says she'd known for nearly 10 years.
Immediately after his guilty plea, Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Joy Malek Oldfield sentenced Patterson to 15 years in prison. He's also ordered to register as a sex offender with the local sheriff every 90 days after his release from prison.
The City of Akron is teaming up with the Salvation Army for another extension of their Community Table.
Summit Lake will play host to the latest effort to feed more Akron-area individuals and families that need help.
"This program demonstrates what is possible when we work together," Mayor Horrigan said in a press release. "The City is investing significant energy and resources into lifting up the Summit Lake neighborhood, and we are happy to open our doors to host a hot lunch every day of the week at our Summit Lake Community Center. We thank the Salvation Army for their contribution to improving the lives of our residents and look forward to expanding this partnership to other community locations."
The Summit Lake meals will be offered Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In addition, the Salvation Army of the Akron area continues to offer daily meals at their Barberton and downtown locations.
Anyone looking for more information on the meals or volunteer opportunities can check SalvationArmyAkron.org for details.
It's already a busy week in Akron, as workers began demolition Monday of a portion of the Akron Innerbelt. The work means the intersection of MLK, N. Main, and Howard will be closed for six months. This means visitors to the Northside will have to detour to Summit St. and Furnace St. to access businesses like Luigi's and Jilly's Music Room.
At City Hall, city leaders unveiled their long-term housing plan. The key provision of the plan calls for a tax abatement for home construction.
Akron Planning Director Jason Segedy joined Jasen to address both projects and what they mean for Akronites.
Akron Police looking for the suspect in an attempted robbery of a Dollar Tree store on Vernon Odom Boulevard.
According to the police report the suspect walked in, approached a checkout counter, and demanded the clerk empty the cash register drawer. The clerk refused and the suspect fled with nothing.
The suspect is a black male, between 20 and 25-years-old, about 6 ft. tall, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds. He was wearing a cmouflage hoodie under a navy coat and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call Akron Police.
If you drive on Interstate 76/77 through Akron, you've seen Summit Lake. But did you know there is only one bench at the lake and it faces away from the lake?
The lack of amenities around Summit Lake could soon change thanks to the Knight Foundation and the Trust for Public Land. An environmental study is getting underway to find out what uses are possible for the lake. Kyle Kutuchief from the Knight Foundation and Matt Schmidt from the Trust for Public Land joined Jasen to talk about what's ahead.
A community meeting to discuss the future of Summit Lake will be held on January 25 at 5:30 p.m. at the Summit Lake Community Center.
An Akron City Council committee took time this week to address issues at Oriana House, including a recent fatal overdose. Akron City Councilwoman Tara Mosley Samples and Oriana House Executive Vice President Bernie Rochford joined Jasen to discuss the concerns and how to improve recovery programs in Akron.
A new revision in Ohio state law made it possible for a vacant 92-year-old Akron bungalow to sell for $1 at a sheriff's sale last month.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the home is the first to sell for so little in Summit County since the passage of House Bill 390 last summer.
Under the new "fast-track foreclosure bill," vacant homes can now be sold for less than two-thirds their appraised value at public auctions in Ohio. The bill also decreases the time abandoned can be wrapped up in foreclosure lawsuits to as little as six months, in an effort to eliminate criminal activity or further deterioration.
The winner of the auction on that $1 Akron home was Citizen's Bank, reportedly unchallenged by any other bidder.
The City of Akron issuing a press release, saying it's OK if you have a little more trash than usual around the holidays. They expect residents to have more garbage than usual and say if boxes and excess wrapping paper is not included in the recycling bins they will still pick up the trash. They plan to accomodate the excess pick-up the week of January 3 through the 7th, 2017.
The city adds that if residents are disgarding their Christmas trees, that's OK too.
A reminder that the trash pick-up will be pushed back a day during the holiday week. Christmas is Sunday, December 25, 2016.
See the full press release below:
Akron, Ohio, December 21, 2016 – Effective Tuesday, January 3, 2017 and continuing through Saturday, January 7, the City of Akron Sanitation/Curb Service Division will be permitting residents to place extra trash or recycling, in the form of wrapping paper and boxes alongside their trash or recycling carts, on their normal collection day. "Each year we provide this extra service to our residents after the holidays, most of whom have additional items to discard or recycle," Mayor Dan Horrigan said. "This particular pickup is intended for extra holiday items, like wrappings and boxes, which we realize won't all fit in one or maybe even two trash carts." Following the holidays, the City will also collect residents' holiday trees left alongside trash carts on their normal collection day. As always, customers who wish to put out a larger volume of other household trash are asked to call Akron's 311 Call Center at 3-1- 1 or (330) 375-2311, to pre-schedule one of the three special large pickups allotted each household, each year. Please also note that, due to the holidays, curb service will be on a one-day delay for the next two weeks, with curb service resuming Tuesday through Saturday.
Akron Police have charged 47-year-old Derrick Williams with murder in connection to his mother's death.
Last Thursday police were called to the home of 78-year-old Alaine Williams, where she was found unresponsive by her daugther. In the 911 call, her daughter said it was her brother Derrick that killed their mother. An investigation and autopsy revealed that Alaine died of blunt-force trauma to the head.
Police caught up with Derrick Williams over the weekend, reportedly at the home in Akron. He has been booked in Summit County Jail.
Kerieda Beavers, 22, of Ericsson Avenue in Akron has been sentenced to life in prison for the shooting death of her boyfriend. Beavers, who will not be eligible for parole for 18 years, was sentenced Friday in Summit County Common Pleas Court by visiting Judge H.F. Inderlied.
On January 9, 2016, Beavers and her boyfriend Tevael Parker got into an argument. Beavers, according to court documents, shot Parker in the head killing him. Parker was 22-years-old. Beavers said she and Parker were together for three years before the shooting. She was convicted by a Summit County jury back on November 23, 2016.
In a statement released Friday, Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said, "I am pleased my office was able to secure justice for this victim and his family. I will continue to aggressively prosecute gun violence in our community."
Vincent White, 23, of Akron had quite the evening in Youngstown. According to police reports, White was kicked out of or denied entry to 6 out of the 9 bars in downtown Youngstown.
Multiple witnesses say White was severely intoxicated, rubbing up against women, yelling at employees of the various establishments, and even threatening to "shoot up the place" when he was told to leave.
One report indicates that one single police officer working downtown Youngstown told White to leave the area three times. White was finally arrested just after 12:30 Saturday morning after he reportedly swung from a light pole and yelled at two women. He's been charged with disorderly conduct and, according to the report, told the arresting officer, "If partying is wrong, I don't want to be right."
Roughly 750 protesters, according to organizer Stephen Kaledecker, gathered at the Chipotle on W. Market Street Tuesday night, voicing their displeasure with the results of the 2016 Presidential Election.
"Trump Protest, Akron" was the name of the Facebook group that organized the rally just about a week in advance. As protests have been organized across the nation, a group of friens with aligning political views got together and created the public event. Before they knew it more than 2,000 people replied with either an RSVP or a "maybe." With numbers like that, Kaledecker says they had no idea what to expect.
The event officially began just after 11 p.m. Tuesday night as the group rallied and then set off on a march down W. Market St. The inital plan, according to the Facebook page, was to march to the University of Akron campus. Plans changed, however, as Kaledecker said they did not want to disrupt the residents of the area. When asked why they scheduled the event from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. on a Tuesday night, he said, "Our voices and our feelings don't stop at 8 o'clock at night." He went on to say, "We're not going to rest until our voices are heard."
The collective voice of the "Trump Protest, Akron" group was heard down W. Market to S. Valley and then back to Chipotle from just after 11 p.m. Tuesday until about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The best part of the protest: Everyone remained peaceful. Akron Police, while present, stayed relatively quiet and let the protesters say their piece; as long as they stayed on the sidewalks of W. Market. The reason the group did not need a permit was because they planned to stay on the sidewalks, and they did.
Robert Jarvis, 65, has entered a guilty plea in Summit County Common Pleas Court on Monday in the involuntary manslaughter case stemming from an Akron bar fight this past January.
According to court documents, Jarvis got into a physical altercation with bar DJ Forrest Ryan, 43, at the Zodiac Bar. Jarvis reportedly punched Ryan 3 times in the head.
Ryan later died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Medical Examiner's report.
Jarvis is scheduled for sentencing on December 28.

After investigating and interviewing Huff, police arrested him on charges of murder. He's been booked into Summit County Jail.
The Traffic Bureau of the Akron Police are investigating after they say an elderly man was hit and killed by a passing car along I-77 Southbound near the Vernon Odom Boulevard exit Wednesday afternoon.
According to the report, the 87-year-old man parked his car along the side of the highway and got out so that he could retrieve the license plate that had fallen off his car. It's unclear what side of the highway he was parked along, but the report states that he was hit by an oncoming Nissan Altima in the far left lane. He died instantly, police say.
The highway was closed for a couple of hours due to the accident. Police do not believe speed nor alcohol factored into the accident. The investigation is ongoing and the victim's name has not been released pending the autopsy.
Akron Police are looking for a suspect who was very clearly caught on CCTV breaking into the St. Vincent-St. Mary Field House and making off with a number of items.

Ohio's Attorney General Mike DeWine is considering filing criminal charges against Akron City Councilman Bob Hoch in connection to an ethics complaint filed back in 2015.
The complaint references Hoch's voting on certain legislation that benefitted his two sons who are both Akron firefighters. It was filed by a former city administration that had been involved in a public dispute with Hoch regarding his outspokenness on issues that directly related to the city fire department.
After an investigation by the Ohio Ethics Committee, the case has been turned over to the Attorney General's Office and a spokesperson says their prosecutors are involved.
Hoch, who has been on the Akron City Council since 2012, denied that there was any conflict of interest on his part.
A federal investigation into the fatal executive charter flight crash back in November of 2015 reveals that in addition to the flight crew, Florida-based ExecuFlight and even the FAA are at fault for what lead up to the crash that left 9 people on board dead.
Back on November 10, 2015, the Hawker 125-700 twin engine jet that was on its way to Akron Fulton International Airport crashed into Akron's Ellet neighborhood, slamming into an apartment complex. Nine people, including the two pilots were killed on impact.
During a conference Tuesday morning, the National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Christopher Hart said that charter company ExecuFlight, the flight crew, and the FAA all share blame in the deadly crash. "This disregard for safety was not confined to the actions of the flight crew; it extended to their employer, ExecuFlight. Our investigators found organizational factors in hiring, training, and scheduling, and other factors that predated the flight," Hart said in his opening statements of Tuesday's briefing.
The NTSB concluded that the probably cause of the jet crash was the flight crew's mismanagement of the approach and multiple deviations from the company's and the FAA's standard operating procedures, thus putting the plane and those aboard in an unsafe situation.
Hart said that also contributing to the crash was "the casual attitude toward compliance and standards" set by the FAA. He did, however, not deter fault from the FAA itself, saying, "At the federal level, FAA oversight of ExecuFlight was insufficient to catch and correct the company's noncompliance of the regulations of its own standard operating procedures."
An aggravated burglary suspect was shot at after he allegedly punched his neighbor in the face and walked into his home.
Police said a 66-year-old man reported that his neighbor, 36-year-old Daniel Givens, knocked on his door around 7:30 Sunday morning on Sullivan Avenue.
The victim told police he refused to answer the door and Givens left -- only to return several minutes later. When the man opened the door, Givens punched him and entered the home. That's when the victim pulled out a .45 caliber handgun and fired a shot, striking the neighbor in the ankle.
According to police, Givens was treated for non-life threatening injuries and was later charged with aggravated burglary and assault.
The former treasurer of the Parent, Teacher and Student Association at Firestone High School CLC is accused of stealing more than $6,600 from the association.
Police say Stacy Walker, 42, of Akron, forged checks from the association (previously known as the PTA) and deposited the money into her own account during her time as the PTSA's treasurer.
The fraudulent transactions were allegedly made between December 2015 until the account was audited in late July. The total loss to the association was $6,671.55.
Police say Walker turned herself in Thursday morning. She was booked into the Summit County Jail.
Robert Tepper, 54, of Akron is facing charges that he provided the deadly dose of fentanyl that killed his wife.
Back on April 3, 2016 Tepper called 911 to report his wife, 52-year-old Karen Tepper, was unresponsive in their home on Moon Street in Akron.
EMS arrived and shortly after pronounced Karen Tepper dead on the scene. Robert admitted to buying the drugs and giving them to his wife.
Tepper is charged with involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs; both felonies.

ASHKELON, Israel, Oct. 19 (JTA) – As the dramatic story of the immigration of 400 Cubans to Israel was broadcast across the world last week, the new Israelis put the spotlight to good use and publicly aired their grievances after many months of silence. But even the three drab, seven-story buildings where they live in the Jewish Agency for Israel absorption center in Ashkelon could not keep the immigrants from bursting with excitement. And when a government delegation led by Absorption Minister Yuli Tamir paid a visit to this southern coastal town last week, Grisel Hernandez insisted on making a statement. "I am very satisfied in Israel," said the 30-year-old former English teacher in impressive Hebrew. "Every day when I wake up in bed I say thank you." The combination of grumbling and joy accurately reflects the complex situation these immigrants feel here today. Many are angry at how they have been treated in the months since their arrival, yet most of the immigrants interviewed by JTA say they are happy to be in the country, and none said they wanted to leave. Although they embraced the media spotlight, they are still unsure how the recent publicity surrounding the story will affect the chances of their relatives, among some 1,300 Jews left in Cuba, to emigrate. An official close to the situation, however, said the latest group of about 15 people, down form original estimates of 20, had already departed Cuba and was expected in Israel on Wednesday, indicating that the publicity has had no negative effect on the exodus. Typically, between 15 and 20 Cubans arrive in Israel each month, the official said. Only last week did Israeli military censors open the subject to the media. As details emerged, it became clear that the Jewish Agency had assisted in the emigration of some 400 Jews since 1995. The Jewish Agency had entered an agreement with Fidel Castro to keep the operation quiet in return for an obstacle-free operation. Although the Cuban immigration was not widely known, one thing is certain, says Hernandez: Castro "knew about the entire thing," she says, wondering why the mission was shrouded in secrecy. "Nothing happens in Cuba that Fidel does not know. And in Cuba, professionals, doctors and teachers cannot leave without permission from Fidel Castro or his buddies." Immigrants here say it is much more difficult for professionals to secure an exit visa from the country, and Israeli officials say the majority of the immigrants who have arrived are blue-collar workers. In addition, among the Jewish immigrants are many non-Jews who are eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, which grants even grandchildren of a Jew the right to aliyah. In a tiny Jewish community like Cuba, say immigrants, intermarriage is inevitable. "I am not Jewish, but I feel like a Jew," says Alfredo Sotolongo, 41, wearing a red cap, gold earring and bracelets, a fat cigar wedged between his fingers. "During the last 8 years, we were very active in the synagogue." Sotolongo came to Israel with Violeta Perez Nieto, his second wife, and four stepchildren. His stepson Ewduin Perez, 24, is also not technically Jewish. But when Jews began reviving community life in the early 1990s after Castro became more tolerant of open religious practice, the family started going to synagogue. Perez"s grandfather was Jacobo Perez Meshulam, who immigrated from Turkey to Cuba and was a founder of the local synagogue. "We lived with him, and during my childhood I always remembered seeing the Jews swaying at prayer," says Perez, recalling the small group of Jews who remained devout even when the regime was less tolerant. A few years ago, a group of youngsters began organizing activities. "I began going to Friday night services, Shabbat morning services, and every Sunday I participated in Hebrew classes," says Perez. Perez mentions the name of Jose Miller, a community leader who apparently was close with Castro, as having been one factor in Castro"s decision to let the Jews go. But he, and most other immigrants interviewed, say they found out they could leave via rumors that spread through the community like wildfire. As the word spread, Perez, who was working in a cigar factory, made his decision, and headed for the Canadian Embassy to submit his paperwork. Canada, which maintains relations with Cuba, helped facilitate the emigration since there are no diplomatic ties between Israel and Cuba. Perez does not hide his motives, and does not profess any Zionist ideology, yet he says he is willing to work hard, serve in the army and start again in Israel if given the chance. "I came because life was hard in Cuba," he says. "We felt like dogs in Cuba, but here I feel like the same dog with a different collar." Eitan Behar, who was known in his hometown of Santiago de Cuba as Jorge, is one of the immigrants whose desire to come to Israel stemmed from a reawakening of his Jewish identity. Behar, a 27-year-old engineer, was the youth leader of Hatikva, which he describes as "a small, but very active" group in the Jewish community in Santiago, which began to hold regular Sabbath gatherings in 1993. The renewal of Jewish life was "very powerful for us, very intense," he says in a telephone interview from Beersheva where he lives with his wife, Nili. "We realized we didn"t know how to do services, Kabalat Shabbat, to sing the tunes." For help, his community turned to the Jewish community in Havana, to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and to other groups from the United States, Latin America and Canada. Learning about Judaism, he says, naturally led him and Nili to learn about Israel, where they decided to make a new life. Behar said things are working out according to his plans, but he admits, "As immigrants we have several obstacles to overcome: language, getting a job, learning a new country." For most of the immigrants, the biggest problem is that they have been granted immigrant rights similar to those received by immigrants from Western countries. But unlike their Western counterparts, Cuban immigrants were not allowed to bring any money or property out of Cuba. Their snappy dress in designer clothing is misleading; two suitcases of clothing were all they were allowed to take out. The rest of their property was nationalized. The immigrants argue they should therefore be eligible for the same absorption package granted to immigrants from impoverished countries like Ethiopia. Most importantly, they want to receive the same amount of assistance for buying an apartment. Israel"s Absorption Ministry says the average Cuban family will receive up to $30,000 for a mortgage, while the average Ethiopian family is granted as much as $75,000. The Jewish Agency has allowed the Cubans to stay at their absorption centers longer than the usual six- month period, knowing that their status must first be ironed out. "I am still optimistic," says Perez, echoing the sentiments of many immigrants at the absorption center, some who were upset at the Israeli media for making it sound like many were on the verge of leaving the country. "Israel is our country and we love this country," says Alexe Colon, 23, a fiery redheaded young man who left his law studies in Havana to come to Israel. "We do not want to go back to Cuba, but we do want to be given mortgage rights similar to those of the Ethiopians." Isis Segal, 29, agrees. "We have no work yet, and it is very difficult, but it was very hard to keep quiet for so long," she says. "We only hope the publicity will not hurt the chances of our relatives coming to Israel." Last week, as the publicity began to dissipate, Cuba appeared to be dispelling rumors that Jews would be kept from leaving. Alejandro Gonzalez, Cuba"s foreign minster, said Cuba had never blocked the exit of any Jews nor had they encouraged them to leave. Reports of a secret deal to allow Cuban Jews to leave were "cheap sensationalism," he said. "We will not stop" them from emigrating, "nor have we obliged them to do so,"" he said.

Calculator can be used for calculation of flow rate and pressure drop calculation in natural gas pipe with constant diameter.
In natural gas pipe diameter, flow rate and pressure drop calculator natural gas is considered as compressible, so you can use calculator for medium and high pressure gas lines. Pressure must be higher than 1 barg and lower than 100 barg.
Natural gas pipe diameter, flow rate and pressure drop calculator can be used if the gas pipe line is longer than 1m (L > 1m). Local pressure losses due to resistance in valves and pipe fittings and pressure changes due to height change are not included in calculator. Temperature of natural gas in underground gas lines can be considered as constant as the drop of temperature due to friction pressure drop is compensated with the heat that natural gas is getting from the soil.
Natural gas pipe diameter, flow rate and pressure drop calculator can be used for pressure drop (p1-p2), or eihter volume flow rate (q) or weight flow rate (w) calculation. Volume flow rate q is calculated at standard conditions which are represented by pressure of p = 101325 Pa and natural gas temperature of T=288.15 K. Flow mean velocity of natural gas in pipe is also calculated for specific pipe diameter.

Courtroom Cheers When Ohio Good Samaritan Cleared Of Traffic Charge
A crowded courtroom in Cleveland broke out in applause when a judge cleared a woman of a traffic charge she said came after she stopped her car to help two elderly people.
An officer ticketed 59-year-old Annam Ighneim for blocking traffic on a busy road the day before Thanksgiving last year. Ighneim told the municipal judge Tuesday that she had stopped because a car had stopped in front of her, then her passenger got out to help an elderly couple who were struggling to get into the car ahead.
The officer said he didn't see another car stopped in front Ighneim's car, and cited her for blocking traffic.
WJW-TV reports that the judge had reasonable doubt that Ighneim impeded traffic and threw out the misdemeanor charge.

Drouin earns bronze medal in high jump
By IDS Reports
IU junior high jumper and 2012 NCAA runner up Derek Drouin can add one more accolade to his name: Olympic medalist.
Drouin, competing for Canada, jumped for an Olympic bronze medal Tuesday afternoon, clearing 2.29 meters (7 feet, 6 inches) before failing to jump over the 2.33-meter mark.
Along with Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Great Britain's Robert Grabarz, Drouin cleared each of his first three heights (2.20, 2.25 and 2.29 meters) with zero misses, putting the trio in a tie for first place.
After only Kansas State senior and 2012 NCAA Champion Erik Kynard and Russia's Ivan Ukhov cleared the 2.33 meter (7 feet, 7¾ inches) mark, Drouin, Barshim and Grabarz were tied for third.
Because all three had zero misses before that point, they all received a bronze medal.
Following Drouin's elimination, Kynard failed to jump at the 2.36 (7 feet, 8¾ inches) and 2.38 (7 feet, 9¾ inches) meter heights while Ukhov successfully hit those jumps. Kynard finished competition with a silver medal, and Ukhov won gold.
Drouin's bronze medal is the second for IU during the 2012 Olympics. Last week, 2012 IU graduate Margaux Farrell earned a bronze medal as part of the French 4x200 freestyle swimming relay team.

Decision to keep Chivenor regiment is welcomed
PUBLISHED: 15:56 12 April 2014 | UPDATED: 15:56 12 April 2014
Nick Harvey MP welcomes reversal of plans to retain 24 (Commando) Engineer Regiment following defence review.
NORTH Devon MP Nick Harvey has welcomed the decision to retain Chivenor's engineer regiment.
Thursday's announcement revisits the withdrawal of Chivenor's 24 (Commando) Engineer Regiment as part of wider armed forces restructuring set out in the 2012 Army 2020 Review.
Following a review into the Army capabilities available to support Royal Navy tasks, it has been decided the regiment will now be kept at Chivenor, but in slightly smaller numbers.
The changes are expected to come into operation no later than July 2015.
"Chivenor is an incredibly important part of North Devon's identity and we can all be proud of its skilled military personnel, who have made an outstanding contribution to operations in Afghanistan in recent years," said Mr Harvey.
"The 2012 decision to downgrade Chivenor's engineer regiment took everyone by surprise and the community's reaction was understandably of shock.
"However it was said at the time that the decision was subject to a review by the chain of command as to what logistical support the Marines need.
"There was clearly some recognition in its conclusions about how valuable the skills of regiments like 24 Royal Engineers are to the Marines going forward, so I'm pleased the Government indicated that the regiment's head count will at least be partially restored to reflect this.
"At a time of major Army restructuring and a rebalancing of capabilities across the board, the announcement provides us with assurances Chivenor's capabilities will be valued into the future. I look forward to seeing a smaller but no less important 24 Engineers Regiment playing an active role at the base once again."
