4dr Sdn SX
Starting at $13,125 | Starting at 27 MPG City - 36 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
The subcompact 2011 Kia Rio, along with its hatchback variant Rio5, continues to be centered in the marketplace as an inexpensive economy car. Placed in the lowest price of the Kia Rio lineup, the base sedan model is fitted with standard MP3-compatible audio system featuring Sirius satellite radio. Also included on the 2011 Kia Rio Base is safety technology including 6 airbags and tire pressure monitoring. Providing a deeper assortment of vehicle equipment is the LX and SX models found on either the 2011 Kia Rio or Rio5. Air conditioning and four-wheel anti-lock brakes are added onto the Rio LX trim while SX models provides standard power window as well as remote keyless entry. The 2011 Kia Rio continues to use an economy car-focused 1.6 liter inline-4 engine. Producing only 110 horsepower, the engine can be combined with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission in order to achieve impressive fuel mileage. The 2011 Kia Rio fitted with a 5-speed manual obtains 28 miles city and 34 highway per gallon of gasoline. The 2011 Rio using the automatic transmission suffers a single mile drop in city range but sports a surprising 36 miles per gallon in highway driving. Though an entry-level vehicle, the 2011 Kia Rio offers a factory assurance through a 5-year/60,000 mile limited warranty.
The 2011 Kia Rio is one of the lowest-priced cars for sale in the U.S., and it is also one of the more fuel-efficient with a EPA highway rating of up to 36 mpg. It stands out for its nicely tuned suspension, which offers a less choppy ride than many other small cars and for its generous interior space; according to Kia, the Rio sedan's 92.2 cubic feet of passenger volume is larger than either the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
For 2011, manual transmission availability shrinks to the base trim, on which it is the only available transmission option.
All 2011 Kia Rio models are powered by a 110-horsepower, 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, matched with either a standard 5-speed manual or available 4-speed automatic transmission, and all are front-wheel drive. With the 5-speed manual, the Rio returns 28 mpg city, 34 mpg highway in the EPA cycle. The Rio does slightly better with the automatic transmission, returning 36 mpg on the highway.

CHICAGO (AP) — Robin Ventura made it clear Sunday: The first-year manager plans on being around for the remaining two years on his contract with the Chicago White Sox.
He raised a few eyebrows Saturday when asked if he could ever see himself managing as long as a Walter Alston or Tommy Lasorda. Ventura said he couldn't and was just hoping to get through this season.
He clarified his answer when asked again Sunday, saying he plans to be around for two more years if the White Sox want him.
Chicago, in first place for 117 days this season, trailed Detroit by two games in the AL Central before Sunday's play.

text: (NEWSER) – The 5-year-old Alabama boy freed in a raid that ended in kidnapper Jimmy Lee Dykes' death has been reunited with his mother after his weeklong ordeal in an underground bunker. Hours after the rescue, Ethan was "laughing, joking, playing, eating—the things that you would expect a normal 5- to 6-year-old young man to do," an FBI spokesman says. "He's very brave. He's very lucky." The successful rescue sparked celebrations in neighboring communities and celebratory church services are planned, the Dothan Eagle reports.

in a message dated 9/26/2004 12:36:22 pm pacific daylight time, kay@...
do you have ideas on how we can bring the people together?
focus on the things we have in common (there are more than meets the
eye/i/identity i promise you) immediately creates unity...whether it is one side
focusing on this or both...it changes things immediately. my second reaction to
your question is...how can you bring these people together in yourself? in your
own heart. this is the way to reveal the actions to be taken in the outer
universe. the truth of the situation is...you cannot make something happen. you
cannot control...you can only allow. you can only allow yourself to feel a
certain way. this i know that you, and many of us, have grounded in our
the next natural progression of this awareness, in my feeling, is to realize
truth and self-confidence with this knowledge...let the feeling begin to guide
you. i am reminded of the chakra system...of the natural progression of
creation...the map of the cosmos in our bodies. the first chakra relating to
feeling...the grounding of allowing feeling. as i just commented on. the next
progression relating to the next chakra...letting that feeling create
desire...creating a foundation and then opening to the possibilities...the
feeling the value is key to understanding what it means to you...letting it
you. next, i feel, is acting in consistency with this desire...which, by now
since you ahve 2 aspects of the cosmos in alignment with your identity, shouldnt
be hard to perceive...at this point you are just doing what feels right.
something i feel is important to remember at this point is that...when you are
aligning yourself with these aspects of creation...creation is, by proxy,
itself with you...and so each progression of alignment will manifest to you
as the world in action.
so i realize that you are looking for a scheme, an organization, a rhyme and
reason, something to do that is tangible to bring this polarazation to
balance...resolution to the 'conflict'. the first thing that is the most
tangible and
real for me...is grounding the understanding that acceptance of what you
observe (which in reality is a creation of your inner world) is the most
step to creating inner peace. inner peace=>outer peace.
i believe that my intention has been set and followed through for this
response...it feels like i was just reaching out to offer you hope. i dont know
else to say. i dont have a plan to organize the lightworkers across the
world. all i know is that, the divine map in all of us is flawless. and by this,
lightworkers and 'bush supporters' are one in the perception that i allow myself
to ground - in my head and my heart and my experience. love all-ways, kyle!

Nvidia announces portable Android-powered console
New console dubbed "Project Shield" to stream games from PC, will be powered by Tegra 4 processor; company touts Nvidia Grid cloud-gaming platform.
Graphics card maker Nvidia got the ball rolling at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show by revealing a new portable gaming console/controller hybrid called "Project Shield."
The Android-based system runs games from Android's Google Play store and also allows users to stream games installed on their home PC for play on the Shield's screen. Games demonstrated during Nvidia's press conference included Hawken and the PC versions of Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Assassin's Creed III.
Project Shield is based on the company's recently announced Tegra 4 processor. It will have lithium batteries that last for 38 hours. In addition to an HDMI port, the system has a micro-SD slot, a micro-USB slot, and a headphone jack.
Attached to the controller itself is a five-inch, 1280x720-pixel HD multitouch screen that is based on a clamshell design. The system will also be able to output HD gameplay and video to a 4K TV screen. There is currently no word on "Project Shield's" price and release date.
Nvidia also pushed Nvidia Grid, a GPU that is specifically made for cloud computing and cloud gaming all across various PCs and smartphones, which was announced back in May of 2012. The card can push out about 240 Nvidia GPUs' worth of power, which is equivalent to about 700 Xbox 360s, according to Nvidia officials at the press conference. Currently, Nvidia's partners in conjunction with the card are Agawi, Cyber Cloud, Cloudunion, G-cluster, Ubitus and Playcast.

Lunch Ride: Oakley
At first glance, an 11-mile road loop may not seem that challenging. When you roll out and start the loop, however, do not be fooled by the shopping centers and huge intersections. Hidden within these hills is the 1984 Olympic Road Race course, one that would go on to define a whole era of cycling in the United States. Back then, they did a few more laps than the one that makes up the usual Lunch Ride from the Oakley HQ. That should not sway you from trying this ride for yourself. Find the finish line in Mission Viejo and you will also find a map of the entire route embedded into a lamp post. Steve Blick of Oakley, our good friend and ride leader, showed us the points of interest as we traversed one quick lap a few weeks ago. "This was the sight of the infamous illegal feed", or, "Over that hill is where Kobe lives". It is always good to do a new lunch ride with a leader as well-versed as Steve. As we happen to be in an Olympic year, if you find yourself on this ride, a sprint finish is mandatory.
Lunch Ride
Oakley Headquarters
People can be found riding it pretty much any day of the week, usually around noon.
Interesting Facts and Landmarks
The 1984 Olympic Road Race was won by American Alexi Grewal in a hotly contested sprint finish. See: Velominati article.
Next to Olympiad Road is Florence Griffith Joyner Olympic Park.
This ride comes equipped with its very own finish line built into the pavement in Mission Viejo.
Post Ride
Back to work! This is a lunch ride.
If you wish to submit your lunch ride to the collection please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Also, take a look at the continually updated schedule of the Rapha Mobile Cycle Club to see if Hennie will be in your neighborhood.

Backyard chickens up for discussion
Jessica Muniz holds one of her pet chickens. She grew up raising chickens in North Port Estates, which allows livestock. Muniz has friends who live in other areas of the city who would like to have backyard chickens.
This is an example of a chicken coop built by a Sarasota company Backyard Coops which specializes in custom-built coops, runs and tractors (mobile coops). The company has increased sales since an ordinance in the city of Sarasota passed nearly two years ago.
NORTH PORT — Not allowing backyard chickens as pets in residential neighborhoods because they attract rats, coyotes and stray dogs, as well as the risk of salmonella poisoning, is an old, tired argument, says a leader of an advocacy group.
"It's unfair to say backyard chickens shouldn't be allowed because of salmonella," said Jono Miller, co-founder of Citizens Lobbying for Urban Chicken Keeping, or CLUCK, of Sarasota. "The Centers for Disease Control says turtles, snakes, frogs, guinea pigs, dogs, birds, horses and cats all can carry salmonella. So why are chickens singled out? People are more at risk for salmonella if they have a pet turtle and don't change the water too often and don't wash their hands after handling it than people who have chickens in their yard and take care of them every day."

BALTIMORE RAVENS INFORMATION: Founded: 1996 Location: Baltimore, Maryland Stadium: M & T Bank Stadium Conference: AFC North Rivals: Cleveland Browns Owners: Stephen Bisciotti (2000) Mascot: Edgar, Allan & Poe Notable Players: Ray Rice, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed See Also: Baltimore Ravens Playoff tickets
The Baltimore Ravens play football in the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The franchise traces its roots back to the original Cleveland Browns team, which moved to Baltimore in 1996. The Browns name, however, had to legally stay in Cleveland where that franchise returned to the NFL in 1999. The Ravens are thus considered an expansion team. The team has always been considered tough on defense, and that toughness found its greatest success in 2000, when the Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV against the New York Giants led by star linebacker Ray Lewis, who is still considered the leader of the team.
The Baltimore Ravens play their home games at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. The stadium opened in 1998 and holds just over 71,000 fans. Visitors to a Ravens game will be struck by the long history of football in Baltimore when they walk across Unitas Plaza and see the bronze statue of that iconic quarterback for the Baltimore Colts. Buy Baltimore Ravens tickets and see whether this defensive minded team can muster up the offense to get back to the Super Bowl!
Other Links: Baltimore Ravens Season Preview History
The Baltimore Ravens have become a staple of the postseason since their move to Charm City, and with the personnel they have in place that doesn't look to be changing any time soon. Joe Flacco looks to have stepped into the upper eschalon of QBs in the NFL and Ray Rice is off to a great pace in 2012. The Ravens continue to sell out games throughout the years, and only a short walk from the Inner Harbor, M&T Bank stadium provides a great game day atmosphere for all fans.
The Ravens are Super Bowl champions after beating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in New Orleans!

Due to the productivity and efficiency of our shipyard, we have proven that substantial cost savings can be obtained.
IHC Merwede's excellent building locations, with its close access to the North Sea, the presence of major suppliers in the immediate vicinity and spacious ship building halls, are key factors for success.

According to the Lorain County Sheriff's department, Richard Armstrong, 34, was charged with IS felonies on Friday, June 1. Charges included four counts of rape, 10 counts of illegal use of a minor, and one count of gross sexual imposition. After the Elyria businessman was arrested on Friday, he posted bond the following day and was released. However, police officials rearrested Armstrong last Wednesday, after several more residents came forwarding alleging incidents of sexual abuse. According to detective Sgi. Shawn Hadaway of the sher iffs department, so far more than five residents have filed additional charges against Armstrong. According to Hadaway, Armstrong was also placed back into custody for his own protection, fearing some residents might decide to take the law into their own hands. "Many of the people are under 18 years of age, some of them are now adults, and said they had something happen to them when they were minors," Hadaway said. According to Hadaway, detectives are currently in the process of interviewing and re-interviewing victims involved in the case. "Some of them are remembering more details," Hadaway said. "After we're finished with the investigation, which will probably be some time next week, we'll send the case over to the county courts...(Not including the most recent charges filed), he could get life in prison with the felonies he already has against him." Hadaway said due to the nature of the case investigators will act quickly in order to get Armstrong through the court system as soon as possible. If Armstrong is found guilty of being a sex offender, like all offenders he would have to register with the police department every 90 days and let authorities knew where he is residing. Neighbors in the area would also rccievc a letter from First-grade students from Cher McCann's class at St. Joseph cises first grade students performed last month. About 47 students School demonstrate how birds (paper puppets), pick up worms from McCann's class and Julie Gargasz's class studied wind, seeds, (toothpicks). The experiment was a part of a series of science exer- bubbles and birds. St. Joe's students shine at art fair Sl Joseph School held its annual Aits Fair recently, with a display of class projects and musical performances. Art displays featured explorations of many media such as watercolors dragons, paper mosaics on religious themes, pen and ink renditions of ancient pottery, pastel colorings of birds and mushrooms, crayon drawings in the Blue Willow tradition and watered marker flowers. Presentations were made by the sixth-grade students, who displayed science fair projects, and the fifth- grade students who featured a jungle of clay sculptures and drawings of zoo animals. Other displays showed models of Native American Indian homes, posters depicting the social trends of past decades, presidential biographies and reports on insects. During the music program, kin- deigartners sang songs about things they were learning, such as "The Days of the Week," (which was also sung in Spanish), "Big Of Storm Comin\" and "ABC Rock." First-grade students performed a collection of songs about books and reading, featuring Dr. Seuss and Frog and Toad. Second-grade students performed songs about how they are like others entitled, "We Speak the Same Language." Songs from the fifties were dramatized by fourth-grade students, who sang, "Splish Splash," "Do You Love Me?" "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and "Do Wah Diddy." Students were directed by the school's art and vocal teacher, Barb Bialko. Sterling is gold to Nascar's fans by DIANA HOUGLAND N-T sports reporter Almost every Saturday night, the Lorain County Speedway provides thrills and excitement for racing fans from all over. But this past Saturday night, the Nascar track produced even more excitement, a visit by a Winston Cup driver.

The safety helmet ordinance that was defeated over one month ago by council passed 6-0 after revisions to the original ordinance were made. In late March, council defeated the proposed ordinance which would have established safety standards for children under 16 yean of age, requiring them to wear helmets while riding bikes, scooters, skateboards and the like. The ordinance was defeated 5-2 after several members of council voiced objections. While some members said they thought parents were responsible enough to make sure that their children wear helmets, others questioned council's ability to mandate the ordinance. Now, instead of "establishing" safety standards, the revised ordinance is "recommending" them, and will also allow for the placement of signs throughout Amherst. The signs will state: "The City of Amherst strongly recommends the use of ANSI or SNELL approved safety helmets whenever operating tricycles, bicy cles, scooters, skateboards, roller skates or in-line skates." For the past several weeks, members of the community and the Safety Community Coalition expressed their support for the needy revised ordinance to council. Jan Endrai, originally from North Carolina, said she moved to Amherst from a state where no helmet law had been passed, and hoped Amherst would decide to do otherwise. "I think kids should wear safety helmets," Endrai said, and showed her support by attending several council meetings. "I tell my boys, 'it's to keep your brains in your head.' Any city safety ordinance they can come up with, I'm for." Endrai said if the city were to pass the ordinance, she would have the law to back her when telling her two boys why they should wear their helmets. "I was disappointed that they didn't pass it (the first tune)," she said. Also in attendance to show support for the proposed ordinance were Becky Opel, a member of fee Parent-Teacher Organization, and Marilyn Hill, a health educator with the Lorain County Safe Community Coalition, which is conducted through the Lorain County General CONTINUED on page 14 Recreation agenda is packed with fun School is over and fun is on the way for students who have just completed kindergarten up to the age of IS.

Earn 2,000 Sony Rewards points on this purchase.
No interest financing available.
Explore your payment options >
Get the ability to cover the range from 70 to 200mm where much of the telephoto action occurs with G lens refinement and class. A constant f/2.8 aperture affords some significant photographic advantages, making it easier to create beautifully defocused backgrounds, but more importantly allows you to use faster shutter speeds to achieve equivalent exposure, making it possible to capture motion that might end up as a blur with a slower lens.
View Brochure
This superb 70-200mm zoom lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of medium to long-distance telephoto applications. (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 105-300mm.)
Sony's G-Series lenses are designed for maximum descriptive power, maintaining excellent peripheral light characteristics and maximizing contrast even at the edges of the frame.
With the ability to focus as closely as 3.9 feet (1.2m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.
The SAL70200G incorporates 19 elements in 16 groups for high optical precision from the center of the image all the way to the corners.
Supplied accessories. Carrying case, lens caps and petal shaped lens hood.
The 2.8x zoom range goes all the way from 70mm, suitable for portraits and other medium-angle shots, to a telephoto 200mm.
Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.
Used when you need the quickest possible autofocus response within a certain focal range. The lens will only autofocus within the set range eliminating AF at focal lengths outside.
Compatible with optional Sony SAL14TC (1.4x) which extends focal length to 280mm (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 420mm) and SAL20TC (2.0x) teleconverters which extends focal length to 400mm (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 6900mm). Teleconverters are compatible with manual focus only.
The fast f/2.8 aperture enables shooting at much higher shutter speeds to freeze action.
Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology achieves high torque at low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates through the ability of a piezoelectric device to reshape itself quickly when voltage is applied.
Works with the SteadyShot INSIDE� image stabilization built into Sony α DSLRs.
Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect. The lens features nine aperture blades.

Not bad. I'd like to see it more centered, but the lines are pretty good.
If you got to an art store or something you can get a metal ruler and use that along with your x-acto knife and make perfectly straight lines.
I have never used a plotter, But I feel brett@supersickdisc :) is right. Half of the people saying they would not use a plotter just race the picture, as I often do! Not fair to say it's not art. Soome of the guys I know with a plotter spend many hours working on art.

There are only a few more weeks of political commercials, ads, promises and accusations flooding the TV and radio before the Nov. 6 presidential election. While many Americans are tired of political campaigning, Ohio — the most important swing state in the United States — has been showing a great response toward the campaign as it nears its end.
On Thursday, 4,000 people lined up outside of Jet Machine in Bond Hill to hear Republican candidate Mitt Romney speak at 11 a.m.
After flying in to Lunken Airport on Wednesday night, Romney had breakfast at First Watch in downtown Cincinnati on Thursday morning before proceeding to the rally in Bond Hill.
His visit in Cincinnati was the first of a three-stop bus tour in Ohio — along with Worthington and Defiance, Ohio later that afternoon.
At the Jet Machine warehouse, Romney criticized Barack Obama's campaign, foreign policies and plans for America's future.
"The Obama campaign is slipping because he keeps talking about smaller and smaller things when America has such big problems," Romney said.
Romney cheered on small businesses and promised that his businesses experience will help turn the economy around.
In a response to the Cincinnati rally, the Obama campaign explained that Romney's visit was just another attempt to try and convince Ohio workers that he is on their side and will stand up to China, when in fact it's the opposite.
"As a corporate buyout specialist, Romney invested in companies that pioneered the practice of shipping jobs to places like China, shutting down American plants and firing workers — all while he walked away with a profit," Jessica Kershaw, Obama for America — Ohio press secretary, explained.
"These jobs are likely to come at the expense of American workers in cities like Cincinnati, and that's why the people of Ohio will not be supporting Mitt Romney this November."
Romney ended the rally encouraging the Buckeye state to go to the polls and vote early.
"We need to make sure Ohio is able to send a message loud and clear: We want real change. We want big change," Romney encouraged.
In an attempt to secure Ohio, President Obama is due in Cincinnati on Halloween. With just two weeks remaining before election day, a new Ohio poll from TIME.com says that Obama is winning 49 percent of Ohio, compared with Romney's 44 percent.The Ohio State Senate's top Republican wants to beef up ethics laws for state lawmakers.
Senate President Tom Niehaus tells The Columbus Dispatch that he plans on rolling out a new ethics bill within a few weeks. He didn't offer specifics on what it would cover, but said disclosure and transparency would be the main themes.
Ohio's ethics laws governing the relationship between public officials and lobbyists haven't seen significant updates in more than 17 years. Niehaus told the newspaper he wants to see lawmakers vote on it before his legislative career ends this year.
The last major overhaul of Ohio ethics laws came in 1994, when the legislature banned public officials from receiving money to appear at dinners and receptions and required disclosure of all gifts costing more than $25.
The law also banned gifts costing more than $75, but oftentimes lobbyists will split up more expensive gifts among a number of lobbyists.
On National Coming Out Day, Cincinnati's only openly gay city councilman told CityBeat that equality for America's Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered people would take a hit under a President Mitt Romney.
"On day one (of his presidency) he (Romney) could hurt gay families by reinstating Don't Ask, Don't Tell and hurt security for our country," Seelbach said. "We need as many people serving as possible."
Councilman Chris Seelbach spoke to CityBeat as he waited to vote early outside of the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
Proponents of the measure that prevented openly gay service members from serving in the military have said repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell would damage the country's combat-readiness.
A study published by the Williams Institute at University of California Los Angeles Law School in September found that there has been no overall negative impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, recruitment, retention or morale.
Seelbach said there would be a stark contrast for LGBT people under President Barack Obama and his GOP rival. He pointed to the Obama administration's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; his vocal approval of same-sex marriage; anti-discrimination measures signed by the president that, among other things, give same-sex partners the right to visit their loved ones in the hospital and make medical decisions.
He said the next president would also likely have the opportunity to appoint new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will likely decide the fate of California's Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage.
"If you care about equality, you've got to vote," Seelbach said. "The easiest way to vote is to vote early."
The Obama campaign in Ohio plans to release a new online ad touting the president's accomplishments for LGBT people.
The ad, made available to CityBeat, features Zach Wahls, a gay-rights activist born to a lesbian couple via artificial insemination. Wahls is known for his testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee against a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in that state.
In the ad, Wahls touts the president's accomplishments and exhorts Ohioans to reelect Obama.
"We want to make sure that we're all doing everything we can this fall to get out, register voters, canvass, knock on doors, get our family members and friends out to the polls so that we can re-elect the best president this country has ever seen on LGBT rights," Wahls said.
A new analysis suggests that tax revenue from Ohio's new casinos will not be enough to make up for state spending cuts to cities and counties. The findings of the Oct. 1 analysis, by left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio, apply even to casinos and big cities that get extra casino tax revenue. They still lose twice in state aid what they get in new taxes, according to the report.
Overall, the analysis found that new casino revenue will provide $227 million a year to counties and cities. In total, state aid to counties and cities has been cut by about $1 billion. That means the tax revenue isn't even one quarter of what cities and counties will need to make up for cuts.
The cuts also won't be enough to make up for state cuts to schools. When casino plans propped up around the state, governments promised that revenue from casinos would be used to build up schools. However, state aid to K-12 education has been cut by $1.8 billion, and new tax revenue will only make up 0.5 to 1.5 percent of those cuts in most school districts, according to the Policy Matters report.
In 2013, Cincinnati will become the fourth Ohio city with a casino. Cleveland and Toledo have casinos, and a new casino opened in Columbus Oct. 8.
Currently, the system is set up so each casino is taxed at 33 percent of gross revenues. That revenue is split into many pieces with approximately 34 percent going to the school fund. Each city with a casino also gets an exclusive 5 percent of its casino's revenue.
For Cincinnati, that means about $12.1 million in new annual tax revenue. But even with that revenue, Cincinnati will still be losing about $17.7 million in state funding, according to calculations from Policy Matters.
In past interviews, Rob Nichols, spokesperson for Gov. John Kasich, has repeatedly cited the constitutional requirement to balance Ohio's budget to defend any state budget cuts: "The reality is we walked into an $8 billion budget deficit. We had to fix that."
Cuts Hurt Ohio, a website showing cuts to state aid, was launched by Policy Matters earlier this year. That website found $2.88 billion in cuts to state aid with $1.8 billion in cuts to education and $1.08 billion in cuts to local governments. In Hamilton County, that translated to a $136 million cut to education and a $105 million cut to local government.
The report does caution that its findings are "necessarily tentative": "Projected revenues have come down significantly since the 2009 campaign for the casino proposal, and the expected opening of numerous gambling facilities makes it hard to be sure what revenues will be. We estimate casino tax revenue based on several sources, including state agencies, casino operators, and former taxation department analyst Mike Sobul. Our numbers reflect a comparatively optimistic assessment."
"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."
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted will appeal a ruling that expanded voting during the three days before Election Day to all Ohioans. If the appeal is approved, the early voting issue will be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Friday, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with President Barack Obama's campaign and the Democrats when it said voting during the weekend and Monday before Election Day must include all Ohioans. Previously, the three early voting days only applied to military personnel and their families.
The appeals court ruling passed the final decision behind the three voting days to the county boards of elections and Husted. Unless Husted enacts uniform rules like he has done in the past, boards of elections will decide whether voting will still take place on those days. If there is a tie vote, Husted will be the tie breaker.
In a statement, Husted hinted at setting uniform rules if the appeal is unsuccessful: "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."
In the past, Husted argued voting procedures should ideally be "locked down" months before Election Day. But with this appeal to the Supreme Court, the rules will remain up in the air.
Ohio Republicans have repeatedly blocked any expansion of in-person early voting, citing racial politics and costs. Doug Preisse, close adviser to Gov. John Kasich and chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party, said in an email to The Columbus Dispatch on Aug. 19, "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine." Black voters tend to favor Democrats by big margins.
In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here. Tomorrow is also the last day to register to vote.
A federal appeals court upheld the decision to allow in-person early voting for everyone during the three days prior to the election. The decision comes as a big win to President Barack Obama's campaign, which filed a lawsuit to restore in-person early voting on the weekend and Monday before Election Day. Republicans in the state have repeatedly pushed against expanded early voting, citing racial politics and costs. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said Friday he will decide what to do with the ruling after the weekend. The court ruling means Husted could close down all boards of election on the three days before Election day, eliminating early voting for everyone — including military voters. If Husted doesn't act, individual county boards of election will decide whether to stay open or closed.
The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners is discussing the budget today. It has a few options, but all of them involve cuts.
A recently released audit by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) found the private prison sold to the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) has some serious problems. The prison only met 66.7 percent of Ohio's standards, and 47 violations were found. CCA says it's working with ODRC to resolve the problems. The news mostly confirmed the findings of CityBeat's in-depth look into private prisons.
Schools responded to the state auditor's recent report that found five school districts were scrubbing data and the Ohio Department of Education did not have enough safeguards. The five school districts generally objected, saying they did not purposely alter any data provided to the state.

Mayor Mark Mallory challenged San Francisco's mayor to a chili cook-off to benefit the city that wins the Reds-Giants playoffs. Mallory touted some fighting words in a statement announcing the friendly bet: "I sure hope San Francisco Chili is as good as Mayor Lee says it is, that way it raises lots of money for Cincinnati's youth, after the Reds send the Giants packing in the first round."
Meet the chair of the U.S. House Science Committee's panel on investigations and oversight. He says evolution and the big bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of Hell."
The news comes slightly more than
two weeks after CityBeat published a story looking at the many
problems presented by Ohio's policy to privatize prisons ("Liberty for
Sale," issue of Sept. 19).
"It was apparent throughout certain departments that DRC policy and procedure is not being followed," the audit said. "Staff was interviewed and some stated they are not sure what to do because of the confusion between CCA policy and DRC policy. Some staff expressed safety concerns due to low staffing numbers and not having enough coverage. Other staff stated that there is increased confusion due to all the staffing transitions."
The report says "there has been a big staff turnover," and only one staff person was properly trained to meet Ohio Risk Assessment System standards. The audit found that a workplace violence liaison wasn't appointed or trained. Inmates complained they felt unsafe and that staff "had their hands tied'" and "had little control over some situations."
The local fire plan had no specific steps to release inmates from locked areas in case of emergency, and local employees said "they had no idea what they should do" in case of a fire emergency.
The audit also found all housing units provided less than the required 25 square feet on unencumbered space per occupant. It found single watch cells held two prisoners with some sleeping on the floor, and some triple-bunked cells had a third inmate sleeping on a mattress on the floor.
Searches in general seemed to be a problem for CCA. Documentation showed that contraband searches were only done 16 days in August. When the searches were done, the contraband was not properly processed to the vault and was sometimes left in desks. The private prison also could not provide documentation that proved executive staff were conducting weekly rounds to informally observe living and working conditions among inmates and staff.
These findings, although major, are only the tip of the iceberg: Inmates claimed laundry and cell cleaning services were not provided and CCA could not prove otherwise, recreation time was not always allowed five times a week in segregation as required, food quality and sanitization was not up to standards, infirmary patients were "not seen timely," patients' doctor appointments were often delayed with follow-ups rarely occurring, the facility had no written confined space program, the health care administrator could not explain or show an overall plan and nursing competency evaluations were not completed before the audit was conducted. Many more issues were found as well.
The one bright spot in the report is ODRC found staff to be "very professional, friendly and helpful during the audit." Inmates were also "dressed appropriately and found to be wearing their identification badges."
The findings shine some light into why ODRC Director Gary Mohr might have decided to stop privatizing Ohio's prisons. On Sept. 25 — the same day the audit was mailed to Mohr's office — Mohr announced his department would focus on sentencing reforms to bring down recidivism instead of saving costs by privatizing more prisons. The news came during the week CityBeat's cover story on private prisons was in stands.
Mohr is one of many in Gov. John Kasich's administration to have previous connections to CCA. He advised the private prison company "in areas of staff leadership, and development and implementing unit management," according to the ODRC website. Donald Thibaut, Kasich's former chief of staff and close friend, now lobbies for CCA. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine also helped CCA reopen its Youngstown facility in 2004 with a federal contract during his term as U.S. senator.
The report confirms a lot of what CityBeat found in its in-depth look at private prisons. The studies cited in CityBeat's Sept. 17 story — including research by the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio — found multiple issues in private prisons' standards around the country. One study by George Washington University found private prisons have a 50 percent higher rate of inmate-on-staff assault and a 66 percent higher rate of inmate-on-inmate assault. The troubling numbers were attributed to lower standards at private prisons that keep costs low and profits high.
The lower standards are coupled with a private prison's need to house as many inmates as possible, contrary to public interests of keeping re-entry to prisons low.
"It doesn't make any difference to them whether or not a person eventually integrates back into society," said Mike Brickner, communications and public policy director at ACLU. "Looking from a cynical approach, it actually helps them if that person (is convicted again) because they come back into their prison and they get money off them again."
Poor living and health standards were also found in a Youngstown prison held by CCA in the 1990s. In 1997, the Youngstown prison was opened by CCA to house 1,700 of the nation's most dangerous criminals. Within one year, 20 prisoners were stabbed, two were murdered and six escaped. The ensuing public outrage led to higher standards at the facility. The more stringent rules were credited for leading to the prison's eventual closing as the facility was quickly made unprofitable for CCA.
Steve Owen, spokesperson for CCA, responded to the audit in a statement: "CCA is taking concrete corrective steps to ensure that this facility meets not only the ODRC's goals but our own high expectations for our facilities. We are working in partnership with the ODRC on a development plan, which will lay out a road map to meet our goals, and our team will meet bi-weekly with ODRC staff and officials until we have this matter resolved."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus held a conference call with Ohio reporters Wednesday morning in response to Tuesday comments by Democratic Vice President Joe Biden that the middle class had been "buried" in the last four years.
"Obama and Biden have buried the middle class, and now they want to bury them some more," Priebus told reporters.
"I mean, just imagine what Barack Obama would do. He buried us economically in this country knowing that he would have to face re-election. Just imagine what he would do with nothing but daylight in front of him. Just imagine where this economy would go."
Biden made his comments before an audience of about 1,000 in Charlotte on Tuesday. He said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's tax cuts for millionaires would raise taxes for the middle class.
"How can they justify raising classes on a middle class that has been buried the last four years?" Biden said.
Biden tried to clarify that he meant they had been buried by policies supported by Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.
Republicans, however, jumped on the comment immediately, with Romney tweeting, "the middle class has been buried the last 4 years, which is why we need a change in November."
Priebus said despite polling showing Obama pulling ahead of Romney in Ohio that the state would be very close. He said Republicans have a better ground game and would "crush" Democrats.
"I think we're going to crush the Democrats on the ground," Priebus said.
"I just don't think they've got a very good ground game. I've looked through it, I've seen it. It's all smoke and mirrors."
Priebus said if Romney were to lose Ohio, he was still optimistic about Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada.
"We've got it all on the table. Ohio is, of course, extremely important. It's nothing new, but I also see avenues to 270 (electoral votes) opening up for Mitt Romney in places that weren't there in '08."
While the presidential candidates prepared for Wednesday's debate, Michelle Obama urged Cincinnatians on Tuesday to take advantage of the first day of early voting, before leading a group to the board of elections to cast their ballots.
"I've got news for you: Here in Ohio it's already Election Day. Early voting starts today," Obama told a crowd of 6,800 inside the Duke Energy Convention Center. She urged everyone to reach out and encourage their friends to vote after they had cast their own ballots.
"Twitter them. Tweet them. What do you do? It's tweeting, right? Tweet them," she joked to the crowd.
Earlier in the morning, the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney kicked off its "Commit to Mitt Early Vote Express" statewide bus tour in downtown Cincinnati.
The tour started in Hamilton County before moving through Butler County and is scheduled to end the day in Preble County.
The bus is scheduled to make its way through every region of Ohio during the early voting period and will serve as a mobile campaign headquarters, dispensing voter contact materials and featuring Romney campaign surrogates, according to a news release.
At the convention center, Michelle Obama avoided some of the direct attacks employed by her husband or the Romney campaign, but used her 30-minute speech to counter some of the criticisms from the GOP nominee, recapping some of her convention speech.
"Our families weren't asking for much," Michelle said of her own and Barack's families. "They didn't begrudge anyone else's success, you know, they didn't mind if others had much more than they did, in fact they admired it. That's why they pushed us to succeed."
Her comment seemed to come in response to an attack that the Romney campaign levied against Barack Obama after his infamous "you didn't build that" comment, where the GOP candidate argues that Obama and Democrats are fostering enmity among the middle class by stoking jealousy of rich, successful Americans like Mitt Romney.
"Our families believed also that when you work hard and have done well and finally walk through that doorway of opportunity, you don't slam it shut behind you," Michelle Obama continued.
"No, you reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. You see, that's how Barack and I and so many of you were raised. … We learned that the truth matters – you don't take shortcuts, you don't game the system, you don't play by your own set of rules."
She went on to say that Americans are part of something bigger than themselves and obligated to give back to others, counter to the Republicans' narrative of the individual pulled up by his or her own bootstraps.
Danielle Henderson, 40, a teacher's assistant from Cincinnati, said she was a fan of the first lady's and joked that she wanted to know if Michelle was running for president in 2016.
"Behind every good man is a good woman," Henderson said. "Honestly, a woman is a backbone of the family."
She said she thought the first family was a good model for the rest of the country.
Henderson's mother-in-law Barbara joked that she was excited to see what the first lady was going to wear.
"I see trends she sets trickle down to other politicians' wives," she joked.

I bought the men's version as a gift for someone this year and they weren't the same. The stitching is different, which is fine. The surprise was that the men's version is made of a thinner material that is not as warm. They also seem to fit a bit big. I bought a Large for a man who is 6'2" and about 220 lbs.
