Seeing new opportunities in Latin American trade, DHL Express is raising its stake in the region.
The company, whose Americas headquarters is in Plantation, invested tens of millions of dollars in its Latin American operations in recent months, including $25 million for its hub in Mexico City, $7.3 million for a new distribution center near Santiago, Chile, about $1.7 million for its Colombia hub and more than $1 million for a new operations center in Guadalajara, Mexico.
At the end of last year, DHL Express, a division of Germany's Deutsche Post DHL, also completed a $20 million investment in a new 140,000-square-foot facility at Miami International Airport, a critical point for its Latin America and Caribbean business.
These and other investments form part of DHL's strategic plan for the region, aimed at meeting growing demand for cargo services and continuously expanding its network.
"Latin America is a key market for us, with growing trade between the region and the rest of the world," said Stephen Fenwick, the Plantation-based CEO of DHL Express Americas. DHL Express reported a 14.4 percent increase in shipments between the U.S. and Latin America between 2011 and 2012.
Fenwick, who took over as CEO of the Americas in early 2011, pointed out that Latin America is expanding its trade horizons.
A decade ago, he said, "the trend in Latin America was North-South trade. But now trade patterns have changed and we're seeing North-South and East-West trade. And this trend will continue as small and mid-sized companies increase their imports and exports."
For example, U.S. trade in goods with South and Central America has grown substantially over the past five years despite a decline in 2009 due to the recession, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Census Bureau, which tracks international trade. Exports from the U.S. to this region were $137 billion in 2008 and imports were $160 billion. In 2012, exports rose to $183.2 billion and imports to $171.8 billion. For the first seven months of 2013, exports were $106.1 billion and imports $94.5 billion. And trade between the Miami Customs District and the rest of the world grew from $79 billion in 2007 to $124.7 billion in 2012, according to U.S. Customs figures compiled by WorldCity.
The company is preparing for more trade between Latin America and Asia, he noted, especially in countries like Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile. And intra-regional business is expected to expand as more people use online shopping.
"We've followed international and domestic trade patterns in the region and have expanded our network well beyond the major cities, setting up service centers in provincial centers," Fenwick said.
To meet current and future demand for its services in the region, DHL has increased processing capacity for small packages and air freight, adding new flights, personnel and fuel-efficient ground delivery vehicles. "We've made significant investments to increase capacity at our Miami hub, as well as in Mexico, Colombia and Chile," said Fenwick, who began his career with DHL in the Middle East.
For example, DHL has added direct flights from its Cincinnati hub to two high-tech manufacturing centers in Mexico — Guadalajara and Querétaro — and increased overnight service to several Latin cities and the Caribbean. The company in June completed a $47 million expansion of its Cincinnati hub, which also handles a share of traffic with Latin America.
DHL does not break down its capital investments by region for competitive purposes, but Fenwick said that this year's total corporate investment worldwide would be 1.7 to 1.8 billion euros (about $2.2-2.4 billion) and that "a fair share was going to Latin America."
Most of DHL Express's business in the region still comes from multinational companies and large Latin-based enterprises (multilatinas), but the share of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is increasing and DHL is working to capture this business segment.
"With international and intra-regional trade expanding in Latin America, a lot of companies in the logistics space and their customers are growing and doing well," said Ken Roberts, president of WorldCity, a Miami media company that tracks international trade and the impact of the global economy on local communities. "It's never straight up, but there are continuing opportunities and it looks well for the region. DHL wants to position itself for handling additional volumes of cellphones, computers, perishables, car parts … all the things that are moving through Latin America. They have undoubtedly done their research on where the best growth opportunities are in Latin America and are targeting their growth and investments."
DHL Express offers assistance to SMEs that want to navigate complex national and international trade regulations, as well as advice on entering international markets. Earlier this year, it also announced a new initiative with the U.S. Commerce Department that provides DHL customers in Latin America with a range of business resources, including trade and marketing information, business leads, access to new suppliers in the U.S. and access to potential buyers and distributors. U.S. embassies and consulates provide this new service to DHL customers in the region.
While DHL works with a range of sectors — automotive, energy, manufacturing, life sciences and technology — it is paying special attention to health and life sciences. DHL research indicates growing business opportunities for supply chain companies in areas such as high value, specialty drugs, innovative standard drugs and medical devices, as well as low-tech devices and over the counter medications.
Some products require special, temperature-controlled handling from production centers to final delivery, while others can be shipped normally by ocean freight and truck. DHL is fine-tuning delivery services for each category to manufacturers, laboratories, distributors and retailers.
While about 80 percent of pharmaceutical sales are made in high-income countries, DHL expects the globalization of clinical trials will offer a new opportunity to provide delivery services.
"This is an important growth sector for us and we are working closely with customers to address the changing shape of the industry," said Roger Crook, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, the freight division of Deutsche Post DHL.
One example of the company's focus on temperature -controlled shipments is its new station at Miami International Airport, called Thermonet. This center, which builds on existing cold-chain shipping technology, receives temperature-sensitive materials — such as vaccines, specialized medications and materials used in clinical tests — and attaches a radio frequency identity sensor to each package. The sensor stores information on the specific temperature requirements of the contents and alerts DHL if the temperature parameters are not correct. Shipment temperatures are monitored all the time, DHL says.
Each center has temperature control equipment for cargo and personnel trained to monitor and control temperature levels. DHL is developing new Thermonet centers throughout Latin America and other international markets.
DHL Express and DHL Gobal Forwarding are units of German logistics company Deutsch Post DHL. DHL Express has expanded its operations in the United States after a major cutback in 2008, when it discontinued its domestic express services and fired more than 9,500 employees. The company decided it would no longer compete with UPS and FedEx in the domestic market and would concentrate on international service. Worldwide, DHL Express, global freight and supply chain businesses have a network in 220 countries and territories and 285,000 employees.
"In general, we think DHL Express has been smart to invest in building out its Latin American infrastructure, as we see that region of the world as one of the global trade growth leaders over the next decade, along with Asia and Africa, where DHL also has a significant presence," said David G. Ross, an analyst with brokerage and investment firm Stifel Nicolaus, which had a "hold" rating on DP DHL stock in its most recent report.
A local trade expert also lauded DHL Express' Latin American strategy.
"The increase in nearshoring [moving manufacturing from China to Latin America] is a key factor in DHL's philosophy," said Gary Goldfarb, executive vice president of WTDC, a Miami-based logistics company specializing in international distribution and global transportation management. "The driver is the fact that wages have gone up in China and countries like Chile can now offer high-value manufacturing and no tariffs."
Goldfarb also pointed out mining in Mexico has "exploded" and mining in Peru has rekindled, and these industries constantly require parts and equipment. "Companies like these need parts yesterday and DHL can provide them," Goldfarb said.
Politically stable countries like Panama, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and most of Central America are growing tremendously, and once the expanded Panama canals open up there will be no impediments to East-West trade, he noted.
"DHL has been working and investing in Latin America for a long time. They know their market well and they're right on the money."

Operation Christmas Child
Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
Jesus loved little children. They were the perfect examples of how simple faith works in the Kingdom of God and how true greatness can only be gained through true humility. How easy it was for little children to run into the arms of Jesus! They not only understood who He was, but His arms were always open, always reaching out for them. Jesus continues to draw children to Himself - only now He wants His people to be the arms that do the reaching.
Operation Christmas Child is doing just that. Reaching out to millions of needy children by distributing simple shoe box gifts along with the good news of God's greatest gift to the world – Jesus Christ. As the world's largest Christmas project, Operation Christmas Child collected nearly 8 million shoe boxes last year, but that number barely touches the millions of children still waiting to hear the simple, yet life-changing message of God's love.
By packing shoe box gifts, caring moms, families, churches and groups can become the arms of Jesus Christ and reach out to a generation that is precious to Him. As a result, families and even entire communities can be changed for eternity.
Operation Christmas Child offers free resources for MOPS groups, churches or simply your own family or group of girlfriends to get involved in sharing Christ through simple shoe box gifts. Make Operation Christmas Child a tradition of giving for your circle of friends and family, and your heart will be blessed as you bless needy children who need to know they are loved and not forgotten.

Gurus turn to high-quality blue chips
Scouring the investment landscape for insights from the brightest minds in the market.
Over the past week, a couple of major themes have been prevalent in my studies of the market's best investors.
One is that many of gurus think values remain, even after the market's recent run-up. The other is that many of them think the best values are among high-quality, blue-chip stocks -- not the junk stocks that led the post-March 9 turnaround.
One strategist talking high quality is Bob Doll, Blackrock's chief investment officer for global equities. Doll told Bloomberg.com that he thinks the market is in a "transition phase", one in which it will evolve from a P/E multiple-driven market to one that is driven by the real economy and earnings.
Doll thinks the path overall will continue upward, but that it will be bumpier than it has been thus far during the rally. He recommends that investors make sure they have some higher-quality, less economy-dependent stocks in their portfolios -- not just cyclical plays -- as the market enters this new phase.
By way of background: why listen? Well, the investment world is filled with new theories about how best to make money. But over the years, I've found that the best way to produce solid, market-beating returns is to take advantage of the wisdom of history's best investors.
That's why I created my Guru Strategy computer models, and it's why each week I take a look at what some of the gurus I keep an eye on are saying.
Also touting high-quality stocks right now was Jeremy Grantham of GMO. Grantham tells Mark Hulbert of The New York Times that the big outperformance of junk-type stocks since the March low is in large part a by-product of the government stimulus efforts, which have helped bolster weak companies and encourage risk-taking in the market.
That has made high-quality stocks about as cheap as ever compared to stocks of lower-quality firms, Grantham says. "It's almost a certain bet that high-quality blue chips will outperform lower-quality stocks over the longer term," he predicts.
Another manager who's high on high quality: John Osterweis. While not as well-known as Doll or Grantham, Osterweis' Osterweis fund has an excellent track record, beating the S&P 500 by fairly wide margins over the past 1, 3, 5, and 10 years.
While Osterweis normally focuses on out-of-favor companies with weak but improving balance sheets, The Motley Fool's Chris Jones reports, he is now shifting his portfolio toward "mid-to-large sized companies with low debt levels that are capable of weathering prolonged economic headwinds."
Osterweis says that the "fundamental economic backdrop has not changed materially," despite the short-term improvements in markets and the economy, so he's targeting companies that could gain market share from organizations that become insolvent or are driven out of the market.
A couple of other managers who have bounced back strong in 2009 after being hammered in 2008 -- Bill Nygren and Bill Miller -- sounded quite bullish this week.
Oakmark's Nygren told CNBC that he's "very positive" on stocks, in part because of high pessimism in the market, and that there are values "all over the place."
Legg Mason's Miller, meanwhile, said while speaking at the London Stock Exchange that "the outlook in the US for equities is as good as it's been for some time," and that 2010 returns of 20% to 25% are "not beyond the realm of possibility", Global Pensions magazine reports.
Of course, we're far from clear sailing in the markets, and Templeton Asset Management Executive Chairman Mark Mobius this week pointed to one potential trouble area. On his blog, Mobius said that he thinks India will be able to keep up its growth rate going forward, but that the country's overheated markets could lead to a "Dubai-like" situation or correction.
"I confess that many [Indian stocks] currently do appear to be rather expensive," Mobius said. "With [the high] demand from Indian domestic investors, Indian stock prices have rebounded from their lows. Given the large amount of liquidity in the market, we believe a Dubai-like situation or other corrections in the market might surface in some areas further down the road if over-spending and over-leveraging go unchecked."
Finally, commodities guru Jim Rogers made a somewhat surprising statement this week. He says he's been buying U.S. dollars, even though he's previously expressed serious long-term concerns about the greenback's health.
Rogers told Yahoo! TechTicker that he remains down on the dollar for the long haul, but that he thinks we could see a short-term bounce in the U.S. currency. Rogers remains a bull on gold over the longer term, saying that he thinks gold will reach "at least a couple thousand dollars an ounce sometime in the next decade."

Six years ago I started this blog. Throughout it, I told of my struggles in an industry that I so wanted to be a part of. At times I was so brutally honest, my friends would tell me to take down the entry because no 'stranger' should know as much as I reveled. I never saw it that way. I saw my readers as people exactly like myself. Their love of theater was equal to mine. Any success I would, or could, experience in my career would be celebrated no greater then their own. I started the journal on my very first day in New York City and have since continued to chronicle the ups and downs of trying to stand out amongst some brilliant composers and lyricists working (and not working) in this industry called 'Theater.'
In the course of six years, I have had over 40 jobs. YES, 40 jobs. I was fired from every single one of them. I am not a good employee. I daydream way too much. On one occasion I was fired for sitting at the piano writing a song instead of bartending. I was told that if I didn't get up and stop writing, I would be let go. I had two lines left to finish. The song I was writing was 'I'm a Star.' I was fired ten minutes after finishing the song. Everyone in my family and all my friends use to joke with me that I could never hold down a job longer then a week. It was true. I also moved around just as much as I was job searching. I could never afford my apartment rent and was constantly couch surfing at friends apartments. The only constant in my life was the love of my dog, Billy, and my passion for composing music and writing lyrics.
This January, Billy and I moved into our very first one bedroom apartment in the city. Sure, it gets lonely living alone sometimes, but it's mine. The walls are painted in the colors I picked out. The plant I purchased from ikea is dying cause I don't know how to keep a plant alive. My bedroom is a sauna since the heater is on 90. But, its my sauna. It's my dead plant. It's my painted walls.
Last night I did something that I have been dreaming of doing my entire life of being fired from jobs. I fired myself. I gave my two week notice bartending at a wonderful bar in the West Village that I have been bartending at for over a year and a half and have enjoyed greatly.
It was time to spread my wings and see if I could fly on my own. To be a composer. Just a composer. Nothing more. Nothing less. To write as many songs as my heart could write. Letting go is scary but I am excited for what the future will hold for me. For six years I have struggled. I would never said I deserve success more then anyone else. I have always said that there are better writers out there then me. Whatever the reasons, though, I feel honored and blessed.
There have been so many wonderful blessings in my life but none more wonderful then all of your continued support.
To those of you who have been reading this blog since its beginning six years ago. Thank you for continuing to follow my career and for believing in me. For those new to this site, I welcome your support.
I don't dream alone. I dream with all of you ...
To those of you struggling to be heard as you follow your dream. Keep pushing, keep dreaming, keep believing. I was told day after day that I wasn't good enough to succeed. What I ask of you is to make me proud and push the naysayers as far away as possible.
I tell all my 'New Voices,' that the moment you make it, don't become bitter. Don't ever forget that you will always continue to learn. Don't forget who you are. Don't forget the friends who stood by your side and lent you a couch to sleep on when you had no home. Don't forget the book store you worked in, the bar you served drinks in, your 9-5 office job .... remember your struggle. Remember those in the industry that lent you a helping hand when you just wanted your voice to be heard. Remember that when a 'New Voices' asks you for a helping hand. Pay it forward.
And, most important ...
When you reach that day ...
Don't forget the distance you have come ...

Episiotomies: Not So Routine Any More
The ACOG has stated that the routine use of the episiotomy does not protect against pelvic relaxation or fetal intracranial bleeds, and points out that the procedure actually increases rates of perineal infection, blood loss, pain during healing, and injury to the anal sphincter. Body image and sexual function may also be negatively impacted.
Dr. Kurt Martinuzzi, MD, an OB-GYN with the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, New York, says, "We now realize that episiotomies are frequently not necessary and indeed have little benefit to the mother or her baby. Patients who have episiotomies often end up with extensions to third- and fourth-degree lacerations, as well as increased blood loss. Whether you have an episiotomy or laceration, or deliver over an intact perineum, you're going to be sore during the postpartum period."
Midwives have long questioned the need for routine episiotomies, says Janette O'Sullivan, CNM, a nurse-midwife in New York City. "Birth is a normal process, not an illness, and, in most cases, thinning and stretching of the perineum can be facilitated by perineal support, lubrication, and possibly perineal massage."
According to Dr. Martinuzzi and O'Sullivan, episiotomies may be needed when:
- There is fetal distress, such as meconium or a slowed heart rate
- There is a shoulder dystocia (stuck shoulder), which can't be resolved with initial maneuvers
- There is a difficult forceps delivery
- The infant's head has been crowning for a long time without progress
- The perineum is not stretching and giving enough.
"The decision whether or not to do an episiotomy depends both on the doctor's training and personal philosophy, and the clinical picture at the time when birth is imminent," Dr. Martinuzzi adds.
The overall decline in episiotomy rates reflects both the impact of a growing body of knowledge, which strongly advises against using the episiotomy as a routine procedure during the birthing process, as well as improved patient education which has led to the laboring woman's increased participation in the decision-making process. Once again, women are reclaiming their bodies and clamoring to have a say in what happens to them during the exhilarating, exhausting process of giving birth.

DOE Announces Energy Savings to Maine Paper Mill
August 25, 2008
The Katahdin Paper Mill in Millinocket, Maine, was looking for ways to pinpoint energy-savings measures when the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Industrial Technologies Program (ITP ) performed a Save Energy Now energy assessment at the mill.
Energy Expert Tom Tucker utilized DOE's Steam System Assessment Tool software to analyze the mill's powerhouse steam system. Tucker recommended terminating cogeneration when fuel costs do not warrant electrical generation and improving mill processes to minimize steam venting. Energy Expert Dick Reese conducted the second assessment on the mill's paper machines and recommended repairing heat-recovery equipment in dryer hoods, tightening water-use and fiber-loss systems, and recovering effluent heat.
"The technical experts sent by the Department of Energy were very practical in their approach and potential application of energy conservation ideas and projects," said Segre Sorokin, Manager of Katahdin Paper's Millinocket facility. "They assisted us with identifying new heat- and steam-saving opportunities and offered very solid advice on initiatives already in progress."
Katahdin personnel found some of the identified opportunities easy to immediately implement, while others will require project development time and increased funding to complete.
"We are very thankful for their [the Energy Experts] efforts, and continue to reduce our energy usage by incorporating the elements of the mill's energy assessments," noted Sorokin. "Our sincere thanks and appreciation for their efforts."
See results in your plant and apply for a Save Energy Now energy assessment today. If you have already participated in an energy assessment, make sure to implement your recommendations and complete a report with your Energy Expert. You can also find out how to be publicly recognized for implementing assessment recommendations and achieving energy savings in your plant.

Sign of the Apocalypse No. 247,592: "Michele Bachmann and Donald Trump Host Tele-Town Hall to Discuss the Economy."
From a press release bearing that title, sent to us by Michele Bachmann's press team. Bold emphasis is ours:
Las Vegas, NV - Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and entrepreneur Donald Trump discussed vital economic issues with thousands of voters across the country tonight in a unique tele-town hall. The Bachmann campaign invited Mr. Trump to co-host the call as an admired and respected leader in business and politics.…
"Small business is what it's all about, they are the big job creators in this country," Trump said. "Obamacare is a total disaster, wait 'til that hits you, that's going to be a real beauty."…
One caller asked Bachmann what she would do as president to fight illegal immigration.
"I would enforce the laws in the books, the problem is they haven't been enforced, and I would build a fence," Bachmann said. "I was in Arizona today and they are talking about people being killed down there. We can't joke about this issue, we can't have magnets to attract illegals to our country."
Alice from New Hampshire asked about the silence from Republicans on Wall Street protests.
"Those camping out in Wall Street – many are just having a good time at other people's expense. Many didn't know why they were there," Trump said. "At some point something is going to have to be done."
Both Bachmann and Trump agree that the Obama administration has done tremendous damage to American's reputation on the world stage.
"Iran is waiting to take over our oil reserves because our leaders are stupid. We are not smart people, we have pathetic leadership," Trump said.
"After all the money we have poured into Iraq, Iran wants to be the dominant partner in the Middle East region and this is what President Obama failed to appreciate."
Another feature of the call was to gauge voters' opinions on what could be done to turn around America's economy. Callers listed the following: cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, legalizing American energy production, cutting taxes, and enforcing immigration laws.

In Philadelphia homeownership on the decline, renting is rising
The Pew Charitable Trusts researchers went back and analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data between 2000 and 2012 and found that homeownership declined faster in Philadelphia in that time span than in almost any other big city in America.
Despite higher prices, July home sales highest since June 2006
The 5,941 sales last month were the largest volume in a month since June 2006, when there were 6,152 sales, and the "best July" since 2005 when there were 6,672 sales, according to the real estate and finance publishing company.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Assembly agreed Thursday afternoon to give $15 million to job training organizations over the next two years.
Public and private groups would provide matching funds to get the grants – and they could be used to train both new and present employees in various fields.
Also, the bill provides $5 million for the state Department of Workforce Development to create a computer database to match job seekers with potential employers.
The lower house passed the measure on a 94-4 vote. It now goes to the Senate.
The Assembly also agreed to spend $100,000 to get manufacturers together to discuss better ways to do business – and ways they can improve their supply chains.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation would run a series of forums. Lawmakers of both parties sponsored the bill, which was sent to the Senate on a 92-6 vote.

Universal preschool could save Cincinnati $48-$69.1 million in the first two to three years by ensuring children get through school with less problems and costs to taxpayers, according to a University of Cincinnati Economics Center study. The public benefits echo findings in other cities and states, where studies found expanded preschool programs generate benefit-cost ratios ranging from 4-to-1 to 16-to-1 for society at large. For Cincinnati and preschool advocates, the question now is how the city could pay for universal preschool for the city's three- and four-year-olds. CityBeat covered universal preschool in further detail here.
Cincinnati leaders intend to adopt a domestic partner registry that would grant legal recognition to same-sex couples in the city. Councilman Chris Seelbach's office says the proposal would particularly benefit gays and lesbians working at small businesses, which often don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships. Seelbach's office says the registry will have two major requirements: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency. In a motion, the mayor and a supermajority of City Council ask the city administration to structure a plan that meets the criteria; Seelbach's office expects the full proposal to come back to council in the coming months.
Mayor John Cranley plans to take a sweeping approach to boosting minority inclusion in Cincinnati, including the establishment of an Office of Minority Inclusion. The proposal from Cranley asks the city administration to draft a plan for the office, benchmark inclusion best practices and identify minority- and women-owned suppliers that could reduce costs for the city. The proposal comes the week after Cranley announced city contracting goals of 12 percent for women-owned businesses and 15 percent for black-owned businesses.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted eliminated early voting on Sundays with a directive issued yesterday. Husted's directive is just the latest effort from Republicans to reduce early voting opportunities. Democrats say the Republican plans are voter suppression, while Republicans argue the policies are needed to establish uniform early voting hours across the state and save counties money on running elections.
The Butler County Common Pleas Court ruled Tuesday that the village of New Miami must stop using speed cameras. Judge Michael Sage voiced concerns about the administrative hearing process the village used to allow motorists to protest or appeal tickets.

The mayor and a supermajority of City Council backs efforts to establish a domestic partner registry for same-sex couples in Cincinnati, Councilman Chris Seelbach's office announced Tuesday.
If adopted by the city, the registry will allow same-sex couples to gain legal recognition through the city. That would let same-sex couples apply for domestic partner benefits at smaller businesses, which typically don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships, according to Seelbach's office.
Specifically, the City Council motion asks the city administration to reach out to other cities that have adopted domestic partner registries, including Columbus and eight other Ohio cities, and establish specific guidelines.
Seelbach's office preemptively outlined a few requirements to sign up: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency by showing joint property ownership, power of attorney, a will and other unspecified requirements.
"As a result of a $45 fee to join the registry, we believe this will be entirely budget neutral, meaning it won't cost the city or the taxpayers a single dollar," Seelbach said in a statement.
If the plan is adopted this year, Cincinnati should gain a perfect score in the next "Municipal Equality Index" from the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group that, among other tasks, evaluates LGBT inclusion efforts from city to city. Cincinnati scored a 90 out of 100 in the 2013 rankings, with domestic partner registries valued at 12 points.
Seelbach expects the administration to report back with a full proposal that City Council can vote on in the coming months.
Gov. John Kasich gave his State of the State speech last night, promising to combat Ohio's heroin epidemic, cut taxes and create jobs across the state. The speech didn't promise any new, huge proposals; instead, it focused on expanding the approach Kasich has taken to governing Ohio in the past four years. Democrats criticized the speech for failing to note Ohio's recent economic struggles, with the state now among the worst in the nation for job growth. Meanwhile, a recent analysis from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio found Kasich's proposed tax cut would benefit the wealthy.
Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday. The poll found 87 percent of Ohioans now support legalizing marijuana for medical uses, and 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. Meanwhile, half of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not. Whether the widespread support translates to ballot issues remains to be seen. CityBeat covered Ohio's medical marijuana movement here and same-sex marriage efforts here.
The Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) plans to alleviate parking problems in Over-the-Rhine by adding a parking meter to every parking space in the neighborhood and asking City Council to allow residential parking permits in neighborhoods that mix commercial and residential. (Today, the city code allows residential parking permits only in neighborhoods that are 100 percent residential.) The plan would add 162 metered spaces to the 478 currently metered spaces, and 637 spaces would be designated for residents.
City Council could move to officially dissolve the parking privatization plan as soon as Wednesday. What will replace the plan is still unclear, but CityBeat compared Mayor John Cranley's proposal to the parking privatization plan here.

Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a poll released Monday by Quinnipiac University.
The poll found an overwhelming majority — 87 percent — of Ohioans support legalizing marijuana for medical uses. About 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. And 83 percent agree marijuana is equally or less dangerous than alcohol.
At the same time, 50 percent of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not.
A plurality of voters — 34 percent versus 26 percent — also disapproved of Gov. John Kasich's handling of abortion. (In the latest state budget, Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the Ohio legislature imposed new restrictions on abortions and abortion providers.)
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,370 registered Ohio voters from Feb. 12 to Feb. 17 for the poll, producing a 2.7 percent margin of error.
The findings indicate the state is moving left on the biggest social issues of the day.
In 2004, Ohioans approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Last year, a Saperstein Associates poll conducted for The Columbus Dispatch found 63 percent of Ohioans favor legalizing medical marijuana, but 59 percent said they oppose full-on legalization. (Given the different methodologies, it's unclear how Saperstein Associates' results compare to Quinnipiac University's poll.)
Whether the liberal shift applies to ballot initiatives remains to be seen. This year, two groups aim to get medical marijuana and same-sex marriage on the Ohio ballot.
Contrary to what polling numbers might imply, it currently seems more likely same-sex marriage will end up on the ballot this year. FreedomOhio, which is leading the effort, says it already has the petition signatures required to get the issue on the ballot in November, even though other LGBT groups, including Equality Ohio, say the effort should wait until 2016.
Meanwhile, the Ohio Rights Group admits it doesn't yet have the signatures required to get medical marijuana on the ballot. The organization has until July to gather 385,247 petition signatures, which in large part must come from at least half of Ohio's 88 counties. In the very unlikely scenario the Ohio Rights Group gets all the petitions in circulation back with 36 legitimate signatures filled out on each, the organization would have about 246,000 signatures.
Still, with support seemingly growing, it seems unlikely medical marijuana and same-sex marriage will remain illegal in Ohio for much longer.
A coalition between Equality Ohio and other major LGBT groups on Friday officially declared it will not support a 2014 ballot initiative that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. Instead, the coalition plans to continue education efforts and place the issue on the ballot in 2016. But FreedomOhio, the LGBT group currently leading the 2014 ballot initiative, plans to put the issue on the ballot this year with or without support from other groups. CityBeat covered the issue and conflict in further detail here.
The group heading Commons at Alaska, a permanent supportive housing project in Avondale, plans to hold monthly "good neighbor" meetings to address local concerns about the facility. The first meeting is scheduled at the Church of the Living God, located at 434 Forest Avenue, on Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. Some Avondale residents have lobbied against the facility out of fears it would weaken public safety, but a study of similar facilities in Columbus found areas with permanent supportive housing facilities saw the same or lower crime increases as demographically comparable areas. In January, a supermajority of City Council rejected Councilman Christopher Smitherman's proposal to rescind the city's support for the Avondale project.
Gov. John Kasich's income tax proposal would disproportionately benefit Ohio's wealthiest, an analysis from Policy Matters Ohio and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found. Specifically, the proposal would on average cut taxes by $2 for the bottom 20 percent of Ohioans, $48 for the middle 20 percent and $2,515 for the top 1 percent. The proposal is typical for Ohio Republicans: They regularly push to lower taxes for the wealthy, even though research, including from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, finds tax cuts for the wealthy aren't correlated with higher economic growth.

A federal court in Cincinnati could soon decide whether
married same-sex parents should be recognized by Ohio on their
children's birth certificates. Civil rights attorney Alphonse
Gerhardstein filed the lawsuit on behalf of four same-sex couples who
married outside the state and an adoption agency that helped one of the
couples adopt a child in Ohio. The lawsuit argues leaving one parent
unnamed perpetuates harmful social stigmas and potentially endangers a
child's life by making it more difficult for a parent to get his child
help in case of emergencies. Although opponents of LGBT rights argue allowing gay couples to adopt hurts children, the research suggests widespread discrimination and same-sex parents' limited rights are the real threats to gay couples' sons and daughters.
Mayor John Cranley is crafting a new plan to upgrade Cincinnati's parking system while retaining local control. Under the drafted plan analyzed by The Business Courier, the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority would issue $25 million in bonds backed by parking revenues. To pay for the new costs, parking meter rates in neighborhoods — but not downtown — would increase by 25 cents per hour to 75 cents per hour, and the city would hire more officers to increase enforcement. The new parking meters would take credit card payments, but smartphone payments currently aren't in the plan.
A revised version of the Ohio House's fracking tax bill increases the severance tax on oil and gas companies but cuts the income tax more and directs funding to areas most affected by the state's oil and gas boom. Fracking is a drilling technique in which millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are pumped underground to unlock oil and gas reserves. Following its widespread adoption, the United States, including Ohio, began pumping out natural gas at record levels. But critics worry the technique could pollute and contaminate surrounding air and water resources. CityBeat covered fracking in greater detail here.

A federal court in Cincinnati could get another chance to advance LGBT rights if it takes up a lawsuit filed Monday that calls on Ohio to recognize the names of married same-sex parents on their adopted children's birth certificates.
Civil rights attorney Alphonse Gerhardstein filed the lawsuit on behalf of four same-sex couples who married outside the state and an adoption agency that helped one of the couples adopt a child in Ohio.
"Birth certificates are the primary identity document in our society," Gerhardstein's firm explained in a statement. "Birth certificates tell the child, 'these adults are your parents,' and tell the community that these adults and children are a family. Medical care, access to schools, travel and release of information are all easily accomplished with birth certificates and are constantly burdened without accurate birth certificates. Forcing families to accept incorrect birth certificates imposes life-long harms and is a direct attack on family dignity."
Although opponents of LGBT rights contend that allowing same-sex couples to adopt could hurt children, the research suggests otherwise.
A Boston University meta-analysis released in March found "children's well-being is affected much more by their relationships with their parents, their parents' sense of competence and security, and the presence of social and economic support for the family than by the gender or the sexual orientation of their parents." Possibly harmful factors found in the study instead include widespread discrimination and the parents' limited rights, neither of which can be blamed on same-sex couples.
The complaint filed Monday comes on the heels of recent rulings that advanced same-sex rights in Ohio and across the country.
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black on Dec. 23 cited constitutional grounds to force state officials to recognize same-sex marriages on death certificates. That case came about after a same-sex couple in Cincinnati filed for recognition. The Republican-controlled state government, defended by Attorney General Mike DeWine, is appealing the ruling.
That ruling followed a June 26 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that effectively struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and requires the federal government to recognize some same-sex marriages.
In enforcing the ruling, President Barack Obama's administration on Monday plans to grant sweeping equal protections to married same-sex couples around the country, even those who reside in states where same-sex marriage remains illegal. The Justice Department's decision applies to courthouse proceedings, prison visits and the compensation of public safety officers' surviving spouses, among other areas.
At the state level, FreedomOhio is working to get same-sex marriage on the ballot this year. The campaign is facing some resistance from other LGBT groups, but FreedomOhio says it already has the petition signatures required to put the issue to a vote in November.
The full complaint:
Tea party leader Ted Stevenot won't run against Gov. John Kasich in a Republican primary after all. The development came just four days after Stevenot announced his candidacy. Stevenot said his decision to pull out had nothing to do with his running mate's tax problems, which The Columbus Dispatch uncovered shortly after Stevenot announced his intention to run. Stevenot's withdrawal comes despite building tea party opposition against Kasich over his support for the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion and his unwillingness to support anti-union "right-to-work" legislation.The debate over same-sex marriage reached the state attorney general's race Friday when Democratic candidate David Pepper published an online petition calling on Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine to stop the state-sanctioned legal battle against a local gay couple. On Dec. 23, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black ruled that state officials must recognize same-sex marriages on death certificates, including the union of Cincinnatians Jim Obergefell and John Arthur. But the state is appealing the ruling. DeWine's office said it's up to the Ohio Department of Health, the plaintiff in the case, to appeal Black's decision. Citing attorney-client privilege, DeWine's office declined to comment whether he advised for or against appeal.
When Pepper and DeWine face off in the November election, same-sex marriage legalization could appear on the ballot as well — despite LGBT groups' disagreement over the ballot initiative's timing.
With the parking privatization plan presumably dead, Mayor John Cranley and City Council plan to address what to do with Cincinnati's lackluster parking system in the next couple months. By all accounts, the system is broken and in need of upgrades. The question is how to fund the upgrades and leverage parking revenue so it can better finance basic services and development projects. When asked whether privatization is still on the table, Cranley says he's only open to leasing parking garages, not parking meters, to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority.
Another issue looming for city officials: Their desire to structurally balance the budget without raising taxes or draconian spending cuts.

The debate over same-sex marriage came to the forefront of Ohio's attorney general race after Democratic candidate David Pepper drew up an online petition calling on Attorney General Mike DeWine to drop a court battle against a local gay couple.
Pepper's petition is in direct response to the legal battle surrounding Cincinnatians Jim Obergefell and John Arthur, who legally married in Maryland last year and won legal recognition of their marriage in Arthur's Ohio death certificate. (Arthur passed away after suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurological disease that causes muscles to rapidly deteriorate.)
The case originally applied only to Obergefell and Arthur, but U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Black on Dec. 23 cited equal protection grounds to force state officials to acknowledge gay marriages in all Ohio death certificates.
With DeWine's office acting as the attorneys in the case, the state intends to appeal the ruling.
The attorney general's office told CityBeat it's up to the Ohio Department of Health, the plaintiff in the case, to decide whether to appeal the ruling. Citing attorney-client privilege, DeWine's office declined to comment on whether DeWine offered legal advice for or against the appeal.
But DeWine previously defended his intention to uphold Ohio's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, which voters approved in 2004.
"Our job is to defend Ohio's constitution and defend what voters have voted on," he told WKSU Public Radio.
In his petition, Pepper argues it's DeWine's duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution and protect the local couple's court-established marriage rights.
"What a waste of taxpayer dollars, and what a misuse of an office whose duty is to stand up to — not for — the unconstitutional treatment of Ohioans," the petition reads.
While DeWine and Pepper will face off in the upcoming November ballot, same-sex marriage could appear on the ballot as well — despite disagreement among LGBT groups on the timing.
Pepper's petition can be read and signed here.
Ohio's leading LGBT groups still disagree whether same-sex marriage should appear on the ballot in 2014 or 2016, but FreedomOhio says it's continuing with efforts to put the issue to a public vote within a year. The debate could decide when gay couples in Ohio will get the same rights already granted to couples in other states. In its defense, FreedomOhio cites polling that shows its amendment has support from 56 percent of Ohio voters. But that same poll also put Ohioans within the margin of error — 47 percent in favor and 48 percent in opposition — on the general question of same-sex marriage legalization, which other LGBT groups point to as a sign Ohio needs more time before it's ready.
Clermont County tea party leader Ted Stevenot will mount a Republican primary challenge against Gov. John Kasich. Stevenot has long criticized Kasich for his support for the federally funded Medicaid expansion, which now allows anyone up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level to enroll for Medicaid. Stevenot has also called on Kasich to support anti-union legislation commonly known as "right-to-work."
Meanwhile, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune's challenge against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is off to a rough start: A former law partner said Portune isn't "ethically … suited to be governor," according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Portune on Monday announced his intent to challenge FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, despite opposition from various state Democrats.Commentary: "What to Watch in 2014."

LOGANVILLE — Grayson lineman Richard Pryor Jr. struggled to get many words out during a brief speech Wednesday at his high school signing day ceremony.
The crowd applauded as he collected himself as his parents watched on, decked out in the yellow and black of Iowa, where Pryor will begin school and walk-on the football program next fall.
Pryor chose Iowa for more than football — he likes the engineering program. That, and it's where his father played his college football.
"I liked how they do things," he said, "especially on the academic side."
He heads to Iowa with a big academic scholarship and hopes he can parlay his time as a walk-on into a football scholarship as well.
"It'll keep me out of trouble," he said.

For area florists, this snow storm is causing a delivery dilemma. This is supposed to be their busiest time of year, but some businesses are actually stopping deliveries Wednesday.
It is the week of Valentine's Day and love is in the air. Only problem, so is the snow and that's causing major challenges for area florists."
Flowers, candy, and stuffed animals are part of what makes Valentine's Day but one guest is arriving uninvited.
"I've been here for 30 years and this is the first time it's happened right at Valentine's Day," said Chris Uyhelyi of Strange's Florist.
The snow is canceling all deliveries Thursday and Friday at Strange's.
Employees had to break the news to customers Wednesday.
"Some of them are upset because they really want it on that day but a lot of them were really understanding," Uyhelyi said.
It's not the position they wanted to be in. Strange's even hired extra drivers to accommodate the Valentine's Day rush.
"People that come and use their own vehicles to contract for us because we have a good 2,000 deliveries normally so we get about 80 people to just come work for the holiday and we can't ask them to be out in those conditions," she said.
But store managers say they don't want to just close the door altogether during their busiest time of the year so they'll be open all day Thursday and Friday. They say if it's safe enough for customers to get there, then they'll be able to accommodate.
They just have one fear.
"A lot of people aren't going to want to come out and brave the storm so I'm sure it will impact our sales," she said.
With so many extra floral arrangements ready to go, employees are hoping love will save the day.
"We have to get rid of all this," Uyhelyi said.
Some area florists actually are attempting deliveries Thursday but others are having to roll over deliveries until after Valentine's Day.

I used the items as a "Thank You" for a great year. I work with VERY dedicated people who serve our special needs population with energy and enthusiasm EVERY day. I thought the "starfish" story was very applicable to the work we do: making a difference on a "one at a time" basis every day. The mugs were very attractive, high quality. Being able to read the "story" on the mug was a HUGE plus. The folders were given to extended team members and they were also appreciated. I added candy to the mugs and a "coffee" gift cards to a couple of the folders. Everyone was very pleased with them. A couple of people told me they were really touched by the story and how well it "fit" our work. [...] I will definitely be ordering in the future. I already have my eye on a few items. I have shared your website info with a few colleagues who wanted to know where I found such great "stuff". Thanks Baudville!!
