We Are Ohio will be holding petition signing events in 9 cities across Ohio on Saturday to repeal SB 5. The campaign has less than 70 days to obtain the necessary signatures to overturn this unfair attack on employee rights and workers safety. This bill doesn’t create any jobs, but hurts our teachers, firefighters, nurses and our communities. We encourage you to attend one of these events and be among the first to sign the petition. For additional information, please go to www.weareohio.com. Thank you.

President Obama promised "change" to the people who voted for him. He told them to hope again and that change would come. But President Obama's change is really more of the same. Therefore, his elixir that was sold to the world was nothing more than snake oil. The most damage, of course, is being done to those whose dreams were intricately woven into his words, not realizing that words are not policy. In a most deadly treachery, those who believed in our President the most are the ones who are now suffering and dying the most.

On April 20th 2011 a year will have passed since the state of Ohio took the life of Da'rryl Durr. He had spent 22 years on Death Row. In that time he wrote to many people and if you are reading this then you may well have been someone who enjoyed hearing from Da'rryl and being challenged by his views and outlook on life despite the dreadful life he had lived on Death Row for so many years.
Less than three hours before he died Da'rryl spoke on the phone to Erwin James a reporter from the Guardian newspaper. Da'rryl told him "If there is a difference that you can make in the life of another person, you want to make that difference." He went on to say, "Please give my love to everybody that supported me and tried to help me. And when you write about me, do me a favour and please – are you familiar with St Paul's treatise on love?" .... "Tell them that's what I believe: in faith, hope and love – and that the greatest of these is love."

“Within 10 seconds the fire that wiped out the city came after us at full speed. Everyone was naked. Bodies were swelling up. Some people were so deformed I couldn’t tell if they were male or female. People died screaming, ‘Please give me water!’
“There was nothing to eat, not even garbage, in the burned down city.”
What if schoolchildren stood facing not the American flag every morning before class started but a photograph of a devastated Hiroshima, shortly after it was obliterated by our atomic bomb, and pledged their allegiance to the idea that such a thing will never happen again?
Do you think we’d start growing up as a country? Do you think we’d still have several thousand nuclear missiles on hair-trigger alert, pointed at Russia (with Russia having about as many pointed at us)? Do you think — as I begin reaching wildly for the impossible — we’d start facing our fears instead of living in fear?
Do you think we might start questioning the nuclear weapons industry and stop worshipping our own weapons of mass destruction — or at least stop selling Fat Man and Little Boy earrings at the gift shop of the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas?

Watchdog group alleges General Electric Boiling Water Reactor Mark 1 design’s
weak containment, inadequate experimental venting back fit, and radioactive waste storage pool
are accidents waiting to happen
I saw your article dated 1/3/11 ( Ohio State's medical industrial complex under fire for unnecessary surgeries). I am here to tell you that the problem you so well described is actually much worse.
First, I want you to know that Gerard Nuovo, MD has personally helped me with several medical issues over the years. Thus, it is from direct experience that I can tell you he is an excellent MD who goes the extra mile for all of his patients. His knowledge of medicine in general is profound, and this certainly applies to his specialty, Gynecologic Pathology.

On Friday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, congress members spoke in defense of Medicare, Social Security, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other programs that by almost anyone's definition are socialist, programs that were denounced as socialist by opponents of their passage in decades past, programs that would not have been created without the efforts of socialists and the Socialist Party.
The debate screeched to a halt, however, because an opponent of the Congressional Progressive Caucus's "People's Budget" then under discussion suggested that its supporters might be socialists. Congressman Keith Ellison, co-chair of that caucus, protested the vicious accusation and demanded that the words of his accuser be transcribed for the record (and possible legal action?). The Republican congress member guilty of the horrible slander announced that he was retracting it. Rep. Raul Grijalva, the other co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, thanked him sincerely for the retraction. Although polls show socialism to be far more popular than Congress, neither Ellison nor Grijalva insisted on being cleared of the label "congress member."

I am writing about my personal life saving experience. I am not in Ohio but live in NY. I met Dr. Nuovo when I was diagnosed with cancer in my uterus. I was shocked, heartbroken and scared. I am a 53 year old women, fit and in great health, how could this have happened to me? My Gyn scheduled me for a full hysterectomy. I asked Dr. Nuovo to review my slide at the advice of a friend.

I am a 53 year old women, fit and in great health, how could this have happened to me? My Gyn scheduled me for a full hysterectomy. I asked Dr. Nuovo to review my slide at the advice of a friend. I didn’t know slides could be signed out and sent for a second opinion. I did know to get a second opinion but I would have taken the slide results to another gyn. Big mistake! I was lucky to find out the pathologist was incorrect! Dr. Nuovo’s care, precision and expertise in reviewing my slide brought me a miracle. He called me at 9:30 am the next morning to tell me my polyp was benign. I cancelled the surgery and have enjoyed every day of my life from that moment on. It is 2011!!! Why is this happening in Ohio and probably everywhere? Why do women not know that the Pathologist if not experienced in Gyn pathology CAN and DO make critical mistakes? How can Dr. Nuovo be barred from reviewing biopsies at OSUMC? Is it that he is honest?
Dr. Larry C. James, who worked as Chief Psychologist at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay, is one of those psychologists. In this role, Dr. James oversaw abusive interrogations and designed programs to exploit the psychological weaknesses of detainees. During his tenure at the detention center, boys and men were systematically abused. Techniques included threats of rape and death; forced nudity; sleep deprivation; extreme isolation; short-shackling into stress positions; and physical assault.
