Strickland names Jolene Molitoris new ODOT director Posted by Aaron Marshall/Plain Dealer Columbus Bureau Reporter January 22, 2009 14:29PM Jolene Molitoris COLUMBUS — Gov. Ted Strickland announced today that he is tapping Jolene Molitoris, the current assistant of the Ohio Department of Transportation, to become the new ODOT chief effective Jan. 30. The 67-year-old will become the first woman to head the state's transportation department and will replace current ODOT Director James Beasley, who will retire at the end of the month. The Dublin woman has been a pioneer before when she served as the first woman to head the Federal Railroad Administration under President Bill Clinton. "From her work in Washignton and Ohio, Jolene is nationally recognized for her leadership in the transportation industry," said Strickland in a statement relased by his office. "Our continued investment in infrastructure is critical if we want to put Ohioans back to work and stimulate our state's economic recovery. As ODOT director, Jolene will continue Jim's dedication to building Ohio's transportation system for the 21st century and beyond." In the release, Molitoris is quoted as saying that she looks "forward to working closely with our public and private partners to truly transform transportation and move Ohio into a prosperous new world."

Doesn't look like that week is available to me... same reason as this months.

Thank you Mr. Moderator

That's what I meant. I did not see it online.

@David - I hear you. It always happens that way though. My 16 yo daughter is all about anything from the eighties. Good thing she's not making music.

I didn't see the article KJP. Love the second picture Jim. Thanks for posting.

The following is my TOP FIFTY ARTIST OF 2008 as tabulated by Last.fm (which I use to track practically everything I listen to). If I coded this correctly - and you're interested - you should be able to listen to any of the artist listed by pressing the "play" sign. I'm sort of surprised by the amount of Ambient music I've listened to; but given my mental/emotional state over the past year, it all makes sense.

cool - we shall see.

Been a while. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things again as the new year rolls around, including relaunching my blog. Moving on: December 15, 2008 In this MegaVote for Ohio's 10th Congressional District: Editor's Note: The 111th Congress will convene on Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Recent Senate Votes Cloture Motion; Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008 - Vote Rejected (52-35, 12 Not Voting) The Senate failed to get the necessary sixty votes to move forward on this bill, which leaders intended to attach auto financing and restructuring legislation. Sen. George Voinovich voted YES Sen. Sherrod Brown voted YES Recent House Votes Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act - Vote Passed (237-170, 1 Present, 26 Not Voting) On Wednesday, the House passed a $15 billion bill to provide the "Big Three" American auto companies with short-term loans. Rep. Dennis Kucinich voted YES

December 09, 2008 Google Doubles US Coverage of Street View Imagery Today Google has doubled the amount of coverage for Street View imagery in the United Sates. Street View is now available in many new cities and states. New cities such as: Memphis, Birmingham, and Charleston, SC. And new states for the first time such as Maine, West Virginia, North Dakota and South Dakota. If you turn on the Street View layer in Google Earth, you can zoom around and get an idea of the scale of the amount of Street View coverage available now in Google Earth and Google Maps (you used to be able to get an overview in Google Maps of the Street View imagery, but I'm not sure how to do that with the newly designed maps interface). There is coverage in roads going between cities and in smaller towns now - not just the major cities. Both Google Maps and Google Earth share the same imagery database, so the availability of the imagery is the same in both platforms. Here is the Official Google Blog post with more details on the new imagery. Streetview coverage map

Does anyone know what is going up on Memphis (across the street from McDonald's and near Dairy Queen)? Isee they have already demo'd and cleared the land.
