Robert Lyons, whose part-time job as the judge for Butler County Area I Court supplements his income as a practicing attorney, took the student's guilty plea to disorderly conduct on Nov. 8. At the request of the young man's lawyer, Dennis Deters, the judge ordered the case file and all printed references to the defendant's name sealed from public view. The order extended to paperwork generated by the Miami University Police Department. In effect, other than the press coverage it received, all record that the crime was committed and the perpetrator was brought to justice doesn't exist.
Six days later, the Cincinnati Enquirer filed suit against Lyons with the Ohio Supreme Court. It said Lyons erred by issuing a "blanket" seal of the case. It said he failed to "find by clear and convincing evidence that the presumption of public access is outweighed by a higher interest" and further failed to conduct a hearing where the Enquirer could argue for public access. The Enquirer didn't mention in its initial report on the plea deal an intent to sue over the sealing, and to date it hasn't reported on its own lawsuit.
Lyons was given until Dec. 14 to file an answer. What's weird is that Lyons is represented by Butler County's Prosecuting Attorney, Mike Gmoser. In Ohio, the county prosecutor serves as legal counsel for county government, county agencies and school districts — and represents them in court — as standard practice. As a private practitioner, though, Lyons specializes in defending people accused of drunken driving. Guess who sits at the opposing counsel's table in those cases? Yes, Gmoser's deputy prosecutors.
Lyons' unusual role as defender and decider of DWI cases drew umbrage from Gmoser in March. According to the Hamilton Journal-News, Lyons the judge was about to rule on a motion to disallow the results of an Intoxilyzer 8000 blood-alcohol testing device in a DWI case. Lyons the lawyer, meanwhile, had challenged the validity of the machine in other cases, and his firm ran seminars about its failings. At Gmoser's request, a higher court judge in July ordered Lyons to step down from hearing 10 pending DWI cases.
Last Thursday, in his initial response to the Enquirer's lawsuit to open the rape tipster's court file, Lyons hinted at the possibility of not fighting the suit. He asked to have until Dec. 14 to file a full response "so as to give settlement discussions an opportunity to come to fruition."
The city of Cincinnati and its largest city employees union have reached a deal regarding the privatization of the city's parking assets. Under the deal's terms, the city will give raises and not lay off anyone for three years, but only if the city's parking assets are privatized. However, the head of a Clifton community group is still not happy with the privatization plan. He says the plan is bad for business because it limits the amount of affordable parking in the area. But would laying off 344 city employees be better for business?
The identity of the Miami University student who put up
the infamous "Top Ten Ways to Get Away with Rape" flier may soon be revealed. The Ohio Supreme Court
will decide by Dec. 14 whether the case should be unsealed and open to public view. Robert Lyons, the Butler County part-time judge who sealed the case, has faced scrutiny in the past few months for conflicts of interest regarding drinking-and-driving cases.
Revenue from casinos in Toledo and Cleveland is dropping. The numbers paint a bad picture for Cincinnati and Hamilton County officials expecting budget problems to be solved by casino revenue.
A proposal mandating drug testing for welfare recipients in Ohio resurfaced last week. Republican legislators claim the requirement will save the state money, but a similar proposal in Florida added to budget woes as the state was forced to pay for drug tests.
Ohio's ultra-wealthy population is growing. About 1,330 Ohioans are worth $30 million or more, an increase of 2 percent since 2011, according to a report from Wealth-X. The news could shape Gov. John Kasich's plan to cut the income tax using revenue from a higher oil-and-gas severance tax, perhaps encouraging state officials to make the cut more progressive.
Gov. Kasich is ending the practice of giving so many tax credits to keep businesses in Ohio. The move could potentially cost the state jobs as businesses move to other areas with bigger, better incentives, but state officials and the business community don't seem too worried for now.
If the Ohio government agencies were forced to cut their budgets by 10 percent, the results would not be pretty. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction would have to close prisons, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources would have a tougher time enforcing new regulations on fracking.
Ohio's exotic animal law is facing a challenge in federal court today. Exotic animal owners claim the law violates their First Amendment and property rights by forcing them to join private associations and give up their animals without compensation. They also do not like the provision that requires microchips be implanted into the animals. The Humane Society of the United States is defending the law, which was passed after a man released 56 exotic animals and killed himself in 2011.

A local conservative group is making a lot of use of member and lawyer Chris Finney. The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was involved in two lawsuits filed this week: one regarding the Blue Ash Airport deal and another regarding Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS).
Criticism of the Blue Ash Airport deal is not new for COAST. The group has repeatedly criticized the deal, largely because as much as $26 million from the deal will be used to fund Cincinnati's $110 million streetcar. In the past, COAST has repeatedly characterized the streetcar as a "boondoggle."
The deal between Blue Ash and Cincinnati is not new, but it did get reworked earlier this year. In 2006, the $37.5 million deal had Cincinnati selling Blue Ash some land on the Blue Ash Airport property, which Blue Ash would then use to build a park. Blue Ash voters approved the deal, which contained a 0.25 percent earnings tax hike, in a two-to-one margin.
When Cincinnati couldn't get a $10 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the city stopped working on the airport as it became too costly. The city then tried to shift the proceeds from the deal to the Cincinnati streetcar, but the FAA said funding must be used for airports since the property is classified as an airport.
Eventually, Cincinnati asked Blue Ash to rework the deal. The plan was Blue Ash would rescind the deal, and then Cincinnati would officially close down the airport and resell the land to Blue Ash while it's no longer classified as an airport.
At first, city officials said $11 million of the opened-up money would go to the streetcar and $26 million would go to municipal projects. Since then, the city has shifted $15 million of that municipal project funding — supposedly temporarily — to help Duke Energy move underground utility lines from the path of the proposed streetcar route, at least until the city and energy company can work out an ongoing feud.
The reworked deal, which was approved by Blue Ash City Council in a 6-1 vote on Aug. 9, seemed like a win-win for both sides. Cincinnati would get more funding for ongoing projects, and Blue Ash netted $2.25 million from the deal — $250,000 to cover fees for Blue Ash's new park and $2 million was subtracted from the deal since Blue Ash would no longer have to match the FAA grant.
But COAST does not approve. The organization doesn't want any funding redirected to the streetcar, and it claims the reworked deal is not allowed. The lawsuit filed by Blue Ash resident Jeffrey Capell and Finney cites a section of the Blue Ash City Charter that disallows some contracts: "No contract shall be made for a term longer than five years, except that franchises for public utility services and contracts with other governmental units for service to be received or given may be made for any period no longer than twenty years."
Mark Vander Laan, Blue Ash's city solicitor, says the city charter section the lawsuit is referencing is irrelevant. He argues the deal is not a contract as the city charter defines it; instead, it's a mortgage and debt instrument. In the Blue Ash City Charter, there's another section that deals with debt instruments, and that's what the rescinded deal falls under, according to Vander Laan. He says the city would not function as it does today if the lawsuit's claim was correct: "If that were the case, all the bonds we've ever issued would have been incorrect."
Vander Laan says the real issue here is disapproval of the streetcar, not any legal technicalities: "They may have a complaint about the streetcar, but that's not the city of Blue Ash's issue at all. We don't think it's even an appropriate basis to challenge this."
He added, "Frankly, if somebody had an issue with (the deal), they should have taken that issue back in 2006 and 2007." That's when Blue Ash voters first approved the airport deal, but back then, the money wasn't going to the streetcar, which didn't even exist at the time.
In another legal battle, COAST filed a lawsuit against CPS over staff allegedly campaigning for Issue 42, a ballot initiative that will renew a CPS levy voters approved in 2008. The case goes back to 2002, when Tom Brinkman, chairman of COAST, sued CPS for "illegal and unconstitutional use of school property for campaign purposes," according to the lawsuit. That case ended in a settlement, which forced CPS to enter into a "COAST Agreement" that says, "CPS will strictly enforce a policy of preventing … Other Political Advertisements on CPS Property."
But COAST now says that agreement has been broken, and the
lawsuit cites emails as evidence. The emails show staff promoting voter
registration drives, which aren't directly linked to Issue 42, and
staff offering to contribute and volunteer to the campaign. In the
emails, there are a few instances of Jens Sutmoller, Issue 42's campaign
coordinator, asking CPS staff to give him personal emails, which shows
he was trying to avoid breaking any rules.
In CityBeat's experience, CPS officials have been pretty strict with following the settlement with COAST. In a Sept. 20 email, Janet Walsh, spokesperson for CPS, told CityBeat she could not provide some levy-related information during work hours: "Yes, but due to constraints about doing levy-related work on work time (we can't), it may have to wait until I can get on my home computer."
COAST has endorsed a "No" vote on Issue 42. In CityBeat's
in-depth look into CPS and Issue 42 ("Battered But Not Broken," issue
of Oct. 3), Brinkman defended COAST's position by saying they're not
necessarily against the school getting funding. COAST is more
interested in holding the school accountable: "It's a five-year levy.
The reason we have five-year levies is so the public can gauge after
four or four and a half years how the entity where the taxes are going
to is doing with the money." In that sense, for COAST, it's important to
bring the levy renewal to voters as late in the game as possible —
November 2013 in this case. CityBeat this week endorsed a "Yes" vote on Issue 42 here.
Criticism of CPS levies is also not new for COAST. The group campaigned against last year's new, permanent $49.5 million levy, which CPS said it needed to meet new technology needs and keep some buildings open.
The Anna Louise Inn, the city of Cincinnati and Western & Southern (W&S) met for what could be the final time in court today. For the most part, both sides took their time at the Ohio First District Court of Appeals to restate past arguments.
The three-judge panel heard 15-minute arguments by both sides. It is expected to give a final decision in 30 to 45 days.
During the hearing, W&S lawyer Francis Barrett insisted that the Anna Louise Inn meets the definition of a "special assistance shelter,"rather than "transitional housing" as it was originally classified, due to the Off the Streets program, which helps women involved in prostitution turn their lives around. The difference in labels could have substantial implications for the Anna Louise Inn and whether it can go ahead with its planned $13 million renovation. However, the inn has already obtained a conditional use permit for its renovations in light of the original court decision classifying it as a special assistance shelter.
Tim Burke, lawyer for the Anna Louise Inn, rebutted by asserting that the record shows the Anna Louise Inn has never acted as a special assistance shelter. In one example, Judge Sylvia Hendon asked Burke if the Anna Louise Inn would take in a woman in the middle of the night since it is not a special assistance shelter. Burke responded by saying the Inn would turn the woman away, as required under zoning code: "She will be directed to one of the traditional homeless shelters. She is not admitted to the Anna Louise Inn. The program does not operate that way, and it never has. And the record is absolutely clear about that."
The ongoing feud was triggered by Cincinnati Union Bethel's (CUB) refusal to sell the Anna Louise Inn property to W&S. The company originally offered $1.8 million to buy the Anna Louise Inn in 2009. CUB declined, and it eventually obtained $12.6 million in state- and city-distributed federal funding for long-needed renovations. From that point forward, relations between CUB and W&S deteriorated, as CityBeat previously covered in detail ("Surrounded by Skyscrapers," issue of Aug. 15)
When asked how the hearings went, Burke replied, "You never know … until you hear the decision."
The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not take up Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's early voting appeal. With the decision, Ohio must allow all voters to vote on the weekend and Monday before Election Day — a right previously reserved for military personnel and their families.
The news comes just a week after Husted promised to appeal a ruling from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, which said if early voting will take place on the three days before Election Day, boards of elections must make sure all Ohioans can use the opportunity.
However, some ambiguity is left in the process as different county boards of elections decide on voting hours. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said it's up to Husted and individual county boards when and even if Ohioans will vote on the three days. If there is a tie vote in the county boards, Husted will be the tie breaker.
When he announced his intention to appeal the appeals court ruling, Husted said in a statement that he will ensure Ohio has uniform early voting rules and hours no matter the outcome of the appeal: "While I will be asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Ohio law through the appeals process, the last thing I want to see is a non-uniform system where voters will be treated differently in all 88 counties. Since some boards of elections have already started to take action on hours of operation for the three days before Election Day, I am going to take time to consult with all 88 counties before crafting a directive to set uniform hours should the state not be successful upon appeal."
UPDATE (1:30 P.M.): Husted sent out a directive to county boards of elections enforcing uniform voting hours for the three days before Election Day. On Saturday, booths will be open 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. On Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. On Monday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"Dealing in this state, for example, you think so much about
the painful days in the deep South — the overt schemes to deny the right to
vote," Jackson said on Tuesday, the last day to register to vote in Ohio.
"We saw Ohio as a kind of beacon of light, the beacon of hope once we ran across the river coming north. This year we've seen Ohio and Pennsylvania take the lead in trying to purge voters and suppress the vote to determine the outcome."
Jackson's comments came on the same day Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court the Six Circuit Court of Appeals' decision to allow early in-person voting on the three days before Election Day.
The three days had previously only applied to military personnel and their families.
Republicans like Husted have cited cost as the reason to not allow in-person voting on the three days before the election. But in an Aug. 19 email to The Columbus Dispatch, Franklin County Republican Party chairman Doug Preisse said "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine."
Pennsylvania, meanwhile, tried to require voters take a photo ID with them into the polls. A state judge blocked the law from going into effect for the 2012 election.
Jackson said restrictions as to who can vote when and where undermine the purpose of democracy.
"Open access, free, transparent voting makes democracy real," he said.
Flanked by a tapestry portraying President Barack Obama, Jackson touted the president's accomplishments in his first term and urged those assembled to give him a second.
Jackson was in Toledo Oct. 5 pushing early voting. He said he was in Cincinnati because "Ohio matters" and he saw it as a way to penetrate Appalachia because "poverty is not just a black problem."

Josh Mandel, state treasurer and Republican U.S. senatorial candidate for Ohio, is denying he physically confronted a campaign tracker. According to Mandel, the tracker approached and confronted him, not the other way around. But the video of the confrontation shows Mandel approaching and getting really close to the tracker first. Ohio Democrats, who said Mandel's campaign is a "campaign of unending dishonesty," were quick to jump on another example of Mandel possibly being dishonest. CityBeat covered Mandel's notorious dishonesty here. Mandel is running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown.The presidential debates are tonight at 9 p.m. A full schedule of future debates can be found here. Whoever does better, keep in mind debates rarely influence elections.

JobsOhio chief Mark Kvamme is stepping down. The high-profile venture capitalist, who was originally from California, was originally recruited by Gov. John Kasich to lead the Ohio Department of Development. But soon Kvamme hopped onto JobsOhio, a nonprofit company established by Kasich and the state legislature to bring investment into Ohio. Under Kvamme's leadership, JobsOhio, which is supposed to replace the Department of Development, has brought in 400 companies to invest in Ohio, leading to $6.1 billion in capital investment, according to a press release. But the nonprofit company has been heavily criticized by liberal groups like Progress Ohio, which say JobsOhio is unconstitutional. Lower courts have generally legitimized Progress Ohio's claims, but the Ohio Supreme Court recently turned down a case dealing with JobsOhio. The court said a lower court would have to give a declaratory judgment first.
William O'Neill, former judge and Democratic candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court, is asking Republican justices Robert Cupp and Terrence O'Donnell to "recuse or refuse." O'Neill says the Republican justices are sitting on cases that involve FirstEnergy, an Akron-based energy company that has contributed to the re-election campaigns of Cupp and O'Donnell. O'Neill says the conflict of interest diminishes faith in the highest court of Ohio's justice system.

The regulations require physicians to administer the drug in a clinic or physician's office, and the drug may only be taken within 49 days of gestation. AUL says health groups like Planned Parenthood want to avoid sound health regulations, but Planned Parenthood argues the regulations make it too difficult for women to use the drug.

"The First Energy Family has contributed more than $44,000.00 into re-election campaigns for Justices Cupp and O'Donnell this year alone," O'Neill, a Democrat who is running for the Ohio Supreme Court, wrote. "It is simply wrong for them to continue sitting on First Energy cases."
The Ohio Supreme Court, which has seven justices decide
the state's top judicial cases, is currently handling a case
involving FirstEnergy, an energy company based in Akron. More than
300,000 customers are suing the company over alleged fraud. The 11th
District Court of Appeals previously ruled against FirstEnergy, and the case was appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.
The lawsuit is the fifth Ohio Supreme Court case involving FirstEnergy this year.
O'Neill pointed out the lawsuit "could easily be a billion dollar case" before writing, "And the public has a right to know that the ruling was not purchased by one side or another."
Ohio Sen. Mike Skindell, a Democrat who is also running for the Ohio Supreme Court, endorsed O'Neill's letter. In the past, he also criticized Cupp and O'Donnell for potential conflicts of interest.
The offices of Cupp and O'Donnell did not immediately respond to CityBeat's requests for comment on the letter. This story will be updated if responses become available.
UPDATE OCT. 4, 4:12 P.M.: Mark Weaver, spokesperson for Cupp, responded: "Mr. O'Neill previously raised this argument with disciplinary authorities by filing a complaint. It was reviewed by disciplinary authorities, and they unanimously dismissed it as having no merit."
Elhassan worked for P&G through XLC Services, a Cincinnati-based company that provides manufacturing services and warehouse management to other companies, at P&G facilities in Guilford County, N.C.
The lawsuit charges P&G and XLC with religious harassment, religious discrimination, failing to accommodate after religious discrimination in the workplace, national origin discrimination, sexual discrimination, two counts of retaliation, negligence, unfair and deceptive trade practices, assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit tells the story that led to the charges as follows: Elhassan, who wears a hijab and wedding ring for religious reasons, was employed at P&G's facilities through XLC between 2004 and Sept. 16, 2011. During her employment, Elhassan followed P&G rules and regulations and kept "a performance record which was satisfactory or better."
However, Elhassan was unaware of a company policy that
banned jewelry in the workplace, even jewelry of religious significance.
This policy was mostly not a problem for Elhassan because, as the lawsuit
claims, "Other employees of different religions and national origins
routinely wear jewelry under clothing and/or protective wear and are not
punished or searched."
That is until a woman named Ernestine Wilson allegedly approached Elhassan, forcibly searched Elhassan for her wedding ring and removed Elhassan's hijab in front of coworkers, including men, according to the suit. Under Islam's rules, a woman uses a hijab, which is a religious head and neck wrap, to maintain sexual modesty, and being exposed without a hijab to men who are not family is a major offense and source of humiliation.
Elhassan reported the forced search to higher-ups at XLC. After a few meetings, Wilson provided an apology, according to the lawsuit, but Elhassan claimed the apology was insincere because Wilson kept telling coworkers that she hoped Elhassan was fired. After Elhassan refused to accept the apology, she was suspended then fired, allegedly under the orders of P&G.
The lawsuit suggests that Wilson's actions were potentially connected to another workplace incident. The lawsuit says Elhassan was sexually harassed in the past by George (no last name provided), a man with whom Wilson was allegedly "engaged in a friendly, physical, and/or romantic relationship." Elhassan reported the incident, which got George fired. The lawsuit claims Wilson's actions were in retaliation to George's termination.
Since Wilson did work for P&G through XLC, Elhassan blames both P&G and XLC for the damages. The lawsuit claims she was unfairly fired in retaliation for not accepting Wilson's apology. It also alleges that XLC forced Elhassan to sign a document she did not understand upon her termination without her lawyer present, even though Elhassan asked to have her lawyer read the document. The document, which P&G officials were supposedly aware of, allegedly sought to release P&G and XLC of any wrongdoing related to the termination.
Mary Ralles, spokesperson for P&G, responded to the lawsuit in an email: "As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on pending litigation, but I did want to make one correction. The individual was not (or ever) a P&G employee."
The distinction Ralles made is that Elhassan was not officially employed by P&G, but she did work for P&G through her employment at XLC.
XLC could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a comment becomes available.
But the presidential race raced back to gaffes over trade policy when Mother Jones posted amazingly candid footage of Romney speaking to millionaires at a fundraiser. In the videos, Romney straightforwardly outlines campaign strategy. In one video, Romney said he doesn't care about getting the vote of the 47 percent of Americans that don't pay taxes because he doesn't believe he can convince them to "take personal responsibility and care for their lives." The Obama team retaliated in a statement: "It's shocking that a candidate for president of the United States would go behind closed doors and declare to a group of wealthy donors that half the American people view themselves as 'victims,' entitled to handouts, and are unwilling to take 'personal responsibility' for their lives. It's hard to serve as president for all Americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation."

Right. Aside from the yearly iterations on the Football Manager series, I haven't played a really excellent management game in a fairly long time. Lately I've been reduced to analyzing the deficiencies in Kairosoft games (tip: Game Dev Story and Grand Prix Story are the only ones worth your time).
I'd really like to come up with a good analogue for turn-based RPG combat sans violence, and without it becoming a totally abstract puzzle game. I'm out of ideas, though, and I think I'm ready to conclude that (abstracted) violence is the only recognizable context for certain varieties of game.

NASCAR: Brad Keselowski matures on track to get into title race
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — It would have been easy for Brad Keselowski to wreck Jimmie Johnson at the end of last week's race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Keselowski would have won the race, surged ahead of Johnson in their championship battle and maybe even put enough separation on him to win his first career Sprint Cup title.
But Keselowski said he wouldn't have felt good about winning that way. So he raced Johnson hard — but clean — on the final restart at Texas and wound up finishing second. Johnson went on to his second consecutive victory, and took a seven-point lead over Keselowski into today's race at Phoenix, the penultimate event in the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
So why didn't Keselowski go for broke?
"Jimmie has never done anything to me to deserve to be raced in that manner," he said. "When I race people the way I race them, I race them off of a code that you know usually exists off how they've started racing me. He never did anything to deserve to be wrecked, that's for sure. I'm not in the habit of just wrecking people just to wreck 'em. Now obviously if somebody does something to push me around, that's a little different."
His record speaks for itself, and Phoenix was the site of Keselowski's first meeting with NASCAR chairman Brian France during his 2009 feud with Denny Hamlin.
Keselowski had staked a reputation as an aggressive driver who was unapologetic for anything he had to do on the track to be successful. He would not back down to anyone, and he had no interest in hearing any sort of lectures about etiquette or respect for veterans.
It was all unfolding in the second-tier Nationwide Series, where Hamlin was moonlighting and could get away with trying to teach a young driver a lesson. It boiled over at Phoenix, where Keselowski twice hit Hamlin's car in retaliation to wreck him.
Hamlin later complained trying to discuss anything with Keselowski was like "talking to the concrete."
Keselowski was summoned to meet before the Cup race the next morning to a 20-minute meeting with France and other NASCAR officials. Continued...
Now, three years later, he's in the thick of a championship race and Hamlin himself sees a changed driver.
"He's better. He'll tell you he's better now and, obviously, it's leading to a lot of success," Hamlin said. "I think that Brad (Keselowski) is one of the best racers out there at this point. Not only from the speed that he has, but the ethics in which he races."
"He's a great guy to race with. Really to me, there's no resemblance from the Brad before to the Brad now."
So much so that Johnson never worried Keselowski would race him dirty on the final two restarts at Texas. The two drivers were lined up side-by-side twice with the win up for grabs, and Johnson knew Keselowski would give him his best shot.
But he didn't think Keselowski would intentionally wreck him.
"I really feel like he was extremely aggressive and had that mindset of going for broke," Johnson said. "But we all evolve as drivers and I think he was more in control of his vehicle Sunday night than he was when he was new to the sport. I've always raced him with a clear mind and not worry. It never crossed my mind that he would make an intentional move to dump me. There are only a few people out there wired like that.
"People race really, really hard and I think Brad did, but to just go in the corner and dump someone, man that is tough to do. Then you play into the karma thing and then there is always next week. I just don't think there are many guys out there that would haul off into the turn and just dump their competition for the championship."
Kyle Busch, who finished third behind Johnson and Keselowski at Texas, had a prime seat for the battle and didn't think Keselowski was a choir boy in the closing laps and could have trouble with other drivers over the next two weeks.
"It seemed like Brad ran Jimmie up the track a little bit and if you're Jimmie Johnson, obviously you feel like you have one over the guy," Busch said. "Jimmie is smarter than that and better than that, where you don't expect that from him. You see, even if you're myself or Tony (Stewart) or somebody else just running around for race wins, guys that are eliminated from the championship, you almost kind of side with a guy who is cleaner (Johnson) than another guy and you'll do anything you can to make that other guy's day hell."
But Roger Penske, Keselowski's team owner, believes his driver has made great strides the last three years and has changed some minds in the industry. Continued...
"One of the great things that has happened is Brad has gained the respect of the garage area from the standpoint of the drivers and the teams and obviously the officials," Penske said. "I think that he sees people like Jimmie and Jeff (Gordon), people who are real stars here, and I think he's trying to emulate that on the race track and show how good he is."

Wayward bear wanders through Susanville
Lt. Carol Growdon, with the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) law enforcement division, characterized the animal as "a no harm, no foul bear that was in the wrong place. The bear did not cause any reported incidents but definitely was "not in its normal environment."
Growdon said the first call about the wandering bear came in about 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning when it was spotted near First Street in Susanville.
Growdon said she received another call about the bear about 9:45 p.m. that evening when it was sighted near the intersection of Alexander and Main streets.
Personnel from the DFG Wildlife Management team responded — with assistance from the United States Deparment of Agriculture Wildlife Service and the Susanville Police Department — tranquilized the bear and returned it to the woods, Growdon said.
They waited until the bear recovered and was acting normally before they left the area.
Growdon said the distance DFG transported the bear was not far enough to be classified as a relocation, but they returned it to its natural environment.
She said it's somewhat rare for a bear to wander into an urban area, but such an event is not totally out of the ordinary.
She said most bear encounters with civilization occur in outlying areas where human habitation and the bear's natural environment collide.

Ben Wagin - NATUR – STAUB – KUNDE (Stirring up Nature, Dust and Science)
Tuesday March 29th 2011, 09:30 h- Sunday, July 31st, 18:00 h
The Museum für Naturkunde celebrates the 81st birthday of Berlin artist Ben Wagin, who became known not only through his art, but also for his commitment to protecting trees and to peace. This is an exhibition out of the ordinary, a retrospective of Wagin's work, an exhibition about the creator of the Parliament of Trees near the Government Buildings in Berlin and the initiator of "Sonnenboten" (sun messengers, children planting sunflowers). The newly restored exhibition hall shows not only the artist's life work, but also lets the visitor take part in the process of creating an exhibition that reveals a new insight into everything. A world of elements that goes beyond fire, water, air and earth in its quest for the essence of anything material. Ben Wagin breaks through the limitations of space into nature, while at the same time taking visitors on a journey following his thoughts throughout the building. The Museum feeds the artist's interpretations with scientific evidence. Visitors are become part of a fruitful confrontation between nature, art, humans and the sciences that will cause more than just a stir
Letter from Mayor Klaus Wowereit for Ben Wagin's 80th birthday: "… For four decades now, you have been a constant warner, a mover and shaker who uses his art to show us the way. You are getting on our nerves because you hit the nerve. You are a teacher, a stage director, an environmental activist and above all an artist who has made nature and the environment the quest of his life… With your work, you have earned a place in the heart of Berliners and become part of our city's history

High school football: Mayfield back in state playoffs
Mayfield can exhale — again.
A ruling came down from a Cuyahoga County court Friday afternoon that rescinded a temporary restraining order against the OHSAA that was handed down on Thursday, according to OHSAA spokesperson Tim Stried.
With the court action, the 2012 playoff field is set, and Mayfield is part of it.
The Wildcats (6-4) will play St. Edward (10-0) on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Byers Field in Parma in a Division I, Region 1 quarterfinal. The change of venue was made because of lighting issues at Lakewood Stadium.
Also affected by the ruling is Division IV, Region 13, where Brookfield (10-0) will face Edgewood (6-3) tonight at 7:30 p.m.
The original court order, handed down by Judge Richard McMonagle on Thursday, would have put Cleveland Heights in place of Mayfield and Beachwood in place of Edgewood in the respective games, based on second-level points from a Week 9 contest between Cleveland JFK and John Adams — which was forfeited by JFK and was the root of the week's worth of court action and confusion.
OHSAA spokesperson Tim Stried said early Thursday that involved parties were in McMonagle's court and could potentially be in multiple courts throughout the day in order to sift through the predicament so as to not delay the 7:30 p.m. start.
Stried reported a resolution would be needed by mid-afternoon, or the Brookfield/Edgewood/Beachwood game would be postponed.
The ruling came down before that point was reached.
Said the OHSAA in a statement proved by Stried, "At approximately 2 p.m. Friday, the same Cuyahoga County court that on Thursday had issued a Temporary Restraining Order against the OHSAA vacated its earlier order, ending the legal situation that changed two playoff qualifiers and could have potentially delayed two games in the OHSAA football playoffs this weekend. Had a resolution in the courts not been reached today, more extensive delays were possible." Continued...
Mayfield players have not been permitted to comment to the media the past few days regarding the pending injunction. But within moments of the decision being announced, Wildcats player Alex Brooks tweeted, "So glad it's over probably the most stressful 24 hours for me and my teammates wanna #salute Coach Pinto Dr. Kelly and Dr. Barnes."

After seeing Irina's photos on the website, I wondered whether she could live up to their expectations. What a pleasant surprise to see that she genuinely looks even better than the photos and really does have an astounding body. Wat a lovely girl. She is chatty and engaging with the most beautiful brown eyes. If you are looking for a GFE and to spend time with someone who is attentive, interesting and beautiful, then I thoroughly recommend Irina. I would also like to say how helpful and friendly the Lilyfields staff are. They helped me find someone who suited me, and this is much appreciated. A website with no fake photos and friendly staff - the ideal combination!

text: The way I see it, this Andrey Pavlov man should be several kind of ant whisperer, because he acquires these (perhaps the craziest) pictures of ants you'll yet observe. And he does it with out using CG or Photoshop. Andrey Pavlov use up hours setting up fairytale scenes. He studied ants, and saw that they all follow a very specific path when they're working. So he put his props on their trail, and photographed the insects interacting with his miniature 'stage sets'. He simply sets the scene and then somehow miraculously manages to make the ants do exactly what he wants them to! The last picture shows some money being exchanged between him and his ant model crew, but I seriously doubt it does the trick. Each photo is taken at especially close range by the artist, documenting his insect neighbors near his rural home in their natural environment.

If our Axel Foley tee were to ask our Takashi tee out on a date and then the date went really well and then the Takashi tee decided to invite the Axel Foley tee up to her apartment for a drink and then one thing led to another and the two tees did it. Well, this is what you'd get about 9 months later. We're not saying this is how it went down, but if it was, then it's probably the best thing the Takashi and Axel Foley tee have ever done with their lives and they couldn't be more proud.

I bought this product for my dad after reading very good reviews on flipkart. But i absolutely regret this now. First of all the reviews for samsung star 3 dous on flipkart are not from real user users and are bogus and fake. I dont know why there are people pushing to sell the bad products by writing excellent reviews. Just googling or going to samsung website for this product would confirm that the user interface is really crappy.
Okie let me get to review. First it does not have back button. Yes. That is true.There is no way you can go back in menu. Then you cannot view the number of the person in contact book unless you go in and then there is no back button. implying you will have to do it all over again if you get it wrong. While making call a strange window pops up and you cannot access anything else other than end call button.Okie , i guess there must be some really smart way to do it. But how on earth is user supposed to know that unless it says something on screen. Moreover how could none of the certified user notice this major mistake unless they have never used the phone.The touch response is slow , but that is expected on a budget phone.
Altogether my suggestion is never buy this. Spent your hard earned money it on an android phone and you will be lot happier using it. Also please read reviews outside flipkart before you buy anything here.
I got this one yesterday from a nearby mobile shop ( Unfortunately couldn't buy from here...). Its a good phone for normal use. Features are great and it is having wi-fi which adds a lot + marks. Camera is also ok without flash. Battery backup is fine when comparing the similar handsets.
Couldn't minimize java apps (Gtalk etc)
Internal memory is 20MB
For the price, its a good model and go for it...
Better to buy from here and now it has offer of 8GB (I missed this one and around 150 bucks :( )
At around 5.5k, I, frankly did not expect a lot of mouth watering services from this little 3 inch device. But I was modestly surprised seeing the features that this little guy had to offer.
A 3 inch capacitative touch screen was well responsive.. The native apps (like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc) were good. An included 8 GB Micro SD Card even increased my expectability of this gadget.
Yet, few matters did not click with me.
Firstly, the shortcuts on the scree, specially the one on top( namely, the sim change option, the bluetooth activation/deactivation button and the music player short cut was neither very well placed nor well spaced. The 'Edit' option immediately below the Sim 1 option didn't help either. It has been quite a number of times that I had actually wanted to access my sim but accidentally went into the 'Widget Edit' menu.
Secondly, the camera is good... Really decent to be honest. But I am a veteran user of Nokia 5233. To me, the picture quality of Nokia 2MP Camera and Samsung 3 MP Camera did not differ much. The quality just improves on the samsung device a notch in the sunlight. Apart from that Nokia steals the show here.
Thirdly, all those people who, like me, has used the Nokia resistive touch screen phones of the order of 5800, 5233, 5230 etc are well versed with the Nokia Onscreen qwerty touch keypad while composing texts. Not only Samsung do not have the 'tilting' of the screen factor, its on screen qwerty is very poorly spaced. More often than not, I ended up typing the letters I did not intend to. It drastically reduced my speed of typing, and therefore sending texts.
And fourthly, the loudspeaker of the phone is not that loud. Its pretty decent for a quiet environment, but while in a noisy surroundings, anybody can miss the ring. Te only way to provide a remedy is to activate the 'Tone and Vibration' option. Its mention worthy, that the vibration is really good, Good enough to distract anyone who carries the device his pocket.
Finally, this phone, though being a dual sim one, lacks THE OS - Android. Thus, the functionality (appliacability) is greatly reduced due to this drawback. In today's 'Smart' Market, a phone without a decent OS is like a mind without the creativity. This phone falls on its face right here.
So, to sum up, its a good buy for budget users and those who can live with Samsung Apps only, along with a decent camera and basic phone functionality. It is recommended for people with really tight budgets. But if you can harness another 3 - 4k, I recommend going for Galaxy Y duos rather than this. I am sure though, anyone who does not expect a lot from his/her mobile device except for basic functionality, will be highly impressed with Star 3 Duos.
Dear friends,
Samsung has improved a lot to satisfy the customer. I purchased this mobile a week ago. Mobile has all necessary options available with good plastic material unlike its pre.
1. Good sensitivity over touch
2. Almost all basic feature available.
3. WIFI connects well.
4. Most of applications are wonderfully packaged (Particularly Google active syncs contacts, mails etc...
5. Good battery life (Good talk time, very good standby) I rechage once in two days.
1. Some time phone hands on multiple use of applications (Given the size of RAM around *20 MB I guess thats the max we can expect *Never the less it does not happens very frequently
2. You can only download 100 emails at a time...
3. Phone takes time while accessing memory card, as I said may be due to low processing speed.
I suggest this mobile for users having minimal usage of apps, internet..etc..
Overall I am happy with the device..
A 3 inch capacitative touch screen is not so responsive..(sometimes irritating)
The apps (like Google, Facebook, Twitter, IM etc) are good.
Primary 3MP camera is satisfactorily good...
The loudspeaker of the phone is not that loud. Its pretty decent for a quiet environment, but while in a noisy surroundings, anybody can miss the ring. The only way to provide a remedy is to activate the 'Tone and Vibration' option.
the only drawback is while during Incoming call i'm unable to use the loudspeaker of my phone.
Finally, this phone, though being a dual sim.
Its a good buy for budget users, along with a decent camera and basic phone functionality.
I am sure though, anyone who does not expect a lot , will be impressed with Star 3 Duos.

Written by PETA
On Monday, a group of eighth graders at Colony Middle School in Palmer, Alaska, tormented a young moose on school grounds until the moose became so frightened that he repeatedly hurled himself into a fence until he died.
School officials won't disclose what the students did to provoke the moose's suicide, but we know one thing for sure: Bullying and violence toward animals often leads to or is part of an existing pattern of bullying and violence toward humans.
PETA has contacted the school's principal, Mary McMahon, to request that Colony Middle School allow us to help it incorporate a humane-education program into its curriculum immediately. The only way that the school's officials can prevent future tragic incidents is to teach their students to be compassionate toward animals.
Hopefully, Colony Middle School will take us up on our offer to help students cope with this crisis and learn to respect all living beings.

Barrington unites for season of giving
Pat Karon helps coordinate Barrington Giving Day at the First Church of Christ Science in Barrington. | Dan Luedert~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 7, 2013 6:16AM
BARRINGTON — Every December, Barrington area residents, businesses and civic organizations come together to make the holidays brighter for thousands of individuals in need.
The annual Barrington Giving Day provides food, coats, toys, blankets, hygiene items and other goods to families and individuals living in the Barrington School District 220 boundaries.
Pat Karon, who leads the effort, reported that the program has grown every year.
"The numbers just keep going up," she said. "This is the first year we're doing snow boots."
Karon added that most of the donations they get are brand new.
"Pat has expanded the program every year," confirmed Teri Pellon, a volunteer with Barrington Giving Day. "We now provide diapers, which are very expensive."
Pellon also credited Karon for getting schools throughout District 220 involved by placing donation boxes in every school.
Each year, Karon puts together a list of families in the district with children on the federal free or reduced lunch program. She coordinates the delivery of the donated goods, which include boxes of food for holiday meals.
"We buy the food so that every family gets identical food in their boxes," Karon explained.
For winter coats, Karon said she has a list of how many children are in each family.
"So if you have four children in your family, you can get four coats," she said. "Because children go to school in less than appropriate winter gear."
Karon said Barrington Giving Day also aims to help senior citizens in need. The group assembles baskets for them containing items like food, candy and personal care items.
Karon, who has been involved with Barrington Giving Day for more than 30 years, said the organization depends on the generosity of area residents.
"Without their generosity, we would not be able to do this," she said, pointing out that Barrington Children's Charities has donated $20,000 for the second year in a row.
"It used to be mostly used stuff," Karon said. "Now, most of the items we get are brand new."
Volunteer Holly Madden said she thinks it's wonderful that families receive items that are brand new.
"The quality we're giving to people is impressive," she said. "It's nice to see the generosity."
Patti Britton, another volunteer, highlighted the new boots and shoes that are going to children in need this winter.
"What kid doesn't want a new pair of boots?" she said.
Noting that there are so many people in need, Britton said Barrington Giving Day is appreciative of any donation, no matter how small.
"Every little bit helps a lot of people," she said.

I have never managed to stump up the enthusiasm to do this, although I have been considering it for ages.
I have an old Dell 1Ghz Intel box with an expired (corporate) XP system on it - long retired. It is memory-poor (256 or 512, I have forgotten) and uses a briefly available odd memory format which costs an arm and a leg. I'm assuming that as a NAS storage device this isn't an issue. I was thinking of adding a RAID controller and Linux, to create a secure, capacious backup device.
Anybody out there done this and can comment on the difficulty involved? I worked in IT for years, in an absurdly specialised field so I am not unfamiliar with the kind of headaches I'm liable to encounter but lack any experience with Unix apart from (briefly) Netware (?) Effectively I know nuffink about Linux.
All advice appreciated.

Welcome to my Web page! I hope you will find it a great resource and a way to stay connected with what's happening in Olympia.
I'm extremely honored that you have chosen me to once again represent you and your interests in the Legislature. Please know that I will work tirelessly on your behalf and will represent you with honor, dignity and respect.
The 2013 legislative session will be filled with difficult choices as we enact a new vision and chart a new course for Washington state. The budget and government spending will once again take center stage as we try to correct the overspending of previous Legislatures, set our core priorities and respond to the recession.
My priorities this year are to implement policies that will help our private sector create jobs. Excessive regulations, continued increases in workers compensation rates and unemployment insurance, escalating minimum wage costs, and onerous business & occupation taxes have made Washington a difficult place to do business. We must not only rein in government spending, we need to get out of the way of the entrepreneurs in this state and the small businesses that will help lead us out of this recession.
Please feel free to send me an e-mail or contact my Olympia office to express your opinions, ideas and concerns. If you're interested in receiving e-mail updates during session, click the link on the right side of this page that says "Sign up for my e-mail updates."
It is a pleasure and a privilege to serve you.

Check Out All the Boats for Sale in North Carolina
North Carolina is located in the southern region of the United States of America. The summer months in North Carolina are very hot with temperatures pushing 90°F on a daily high in some cities. The hotter cities in North Carolina are Charlotte and Wilmington but the whole state is very warm in the summer. Winter months are not that bad with temperatures rarely ever dropping under 30°F. North Carolina is not just a very warm state but has a lot of water area too which makes boating activities very fun. You can easily find lakes and rivers to go for boat rides on, go for fishing trips on, and participating in other various boat related activities on.
If you live in North Carolina or visit the state on a regular basis every year, then you may be interested in looking at boats for sale in North Carolina. Buying a boat in that state, whether you live there or not may be a great option. If boating is more enjoyable in that state and you live out of state, you can leave the boat in storage or at a friend/family members house. This is particularly ideal if you are coming from a colder climate state because North Carolina is very warm with large bodies of water all around the state, which is ideal for all boat owners.
