10 TV: Police on Thursday said that they arrested a man and connected him to a series of robberies along North High Street. Mark Simon faces multiple theft charges... For several weeks, police said that Simon targeted Short North 10 shops and businesses, often armed with a knife.
Police said that patrol officers noticed Simon lingering on the streets and alerted robbery detectives. One victim, an antique shop owner, identified him as the man who held a knife to her throat. Another bartender said that Simon threw a rock at him when he turned around to open the cash register. Police said that Simon's crimes were motivated by a drug problem.

Columbus Young Professionals Present “A Date 2 Remember”
Saturday, February 7th marks the second annual ‘A Date 2 Remember’ young professional date auction and fashion show for charity, presented by the CYP Club (Columbus Young Professionals Club). Members of the Central Ohio community are invited to “make a date” for this unique event – one that combines a date auction for singles and couples with a fashion show featuring clothing from Columbus-area boutiques and shops. All proceeds raised from the event will benefit TWO local non-profit organizations; A Kid Again (formerly Adventures For Wish Kids) and Junior Achievement of Central Ohio. Last year more than 600 attended the event, which raised more than $15,000 for charity.
The event will run from 7:00-11:00pm at The Vault in downtown Columbus, where attendees can mix and mingle. Catering for the evening is generously donated by Jason’s Restaurant & Bar, Marcella’s, and Martini Modern Italian. At 8:00pm, be ready for an evening full of entertainment and fun as the date auction and fashion show begins. Emceeing the event will be Charley and Kate from Mix 97.1’s Mix Morning Show. As a twist on the traditional charity date auction, couples will be participating as well, allowing other couples the opportunity to go on a double date. Date participants will walk on stage modeling clothing and jewelry from local boutiques, showcasing the best of Columbus fashion and style.
The CYP Club also invites the media and general public to a special ‘A Date 2 Remember’ Preview Party hosted at Eleven at Hyde Park Steak House (on The Cap, 591 N. High Street) on January 21st, from 6:30-8:30pm to learn more about the event, purchase discounted tickets, mingle with date participants and sponsors, and find out about both charity beneficiaries. More than $200 in dining gift cards will be raffled off to those who purchase tickets at this Preview Party.
Tickets for ‘A Date 2 Remember’ are $25 in advance ($45 for a couple) and $35 at the door. Pre-sale tickets may be purchased online by visiting http://www.cypclub.com/ and clicking on ‘A Date 2 Remember.’

BREAKING: Juicy Campus Attempts Exit Explanation
On Wednesday, Juicy Campus crumbled. Below is their reasoning….
What is happening to JuicyCampus?
JuicyCampus is shutting down as of February 5, 2009. ALL TRAFFIC IS BEING REDIRECTED TO www.collegeacb.com (check out their BLOG for more details)
Why is this happening?
JuicyCampus’ growth outpaced our ability to muster the resources needed to survive the economic downturn and the current level of revenue generated is simply not sufficient to keep the site alive.
How long have you known this was going to happen?
The whole team at JuicyCampus has worked tirelessly the past few weeks to consider all possible options for keeping the site open. It was not until Feb. 2, 2009 that the site's leadership made the difficult decision to shut down.
Does this have anything to do with the investigations by Attorneys General? Other legal reasons?
No, not at all. No charges were ever brought against JuicyCampus by any AG. The site is likewise not shutting down as a result of any lawsuits or other sort of legal trouble. JuicyCampus' services and policies have always been well within the law.
Is this because advertisers pulled their ads from your site?
No. Online ad spend dropped across the board as the economy took a turn for the worse. Our advertisers have spent less, but have remained loyal, and for that we are very much appreciative.
Is this because too many campuses banned you?
No. The vast majority of campuses decided not to censor their students. Our traffic levels have remained very strong. Any revenue lost as a result of the campuses that banned us was negligible.
What does this mean for all the posts?
As of February 2, 2009, all posts will no longer be publicly available.
What about my privacy? If I wrote on the Site, will my IP be released?
JuicyCampus will maintain the same policy we have always enforced -- IP addresses will not be released without a lawful subpoena.
Without JuicyCampus, where on earth will I get my fill of campus gossip?
Check out www.collegeacb.com.
What's next for Matt Ivester?
He'll be consulting with some startups in the Los Angeles area, and is already brainstorming his next big website.
Who can I speak with if I have questions in the future about JuicyCampus?
We’ll keep our Customer Service email account active and probably will check it from time to time. If you have any comments/questions please email cs@juicycampus.com and someone might get back to you. (On the day of shutdown, we may experience temporary email outages, just try again later).
What is the future of JuicyCampus?
Does it have plans to come back?As of now, JuicyCampus does not have any plans to come back, but who knows what the future might hold. If you have any ideas, email us...

Residents Discuss, Dissect Columbus Commons
NBC 4: From City Center to Columbus Commons, a plan has been set in motion to redesign the center of downtown and it sparked a flurry of feedback from NBC 4 viewers and nbc4i.com users. Columbus Commons will be a mix of residential, retail, office space and a park—an will cost $165 million.
Developers and the city will be making large investments with the hope of at least $15 million from the federal government. City Center will be demolished in May and the goal is to have the commons finished by Fall 2010.
There were more than 50 responses on how the plan for City Center is going to work in a city that is struggling with massive budget problems. One person said, “How about getting us out of the red and keeping us safe with more police officers. A green park is nice, but $165 million?“
NBC 4‘s Mikaela Hunt found taxpayer money that could theoretically be used to help with the city’s budget will not be used for the majority of the project. “Phase 2: residential, retail and restaurant—that component of the site will be privately funded—also office space,“ said Guy Worley, of Capitol South. “We’re not going to be able to get private sector financing for retail, residential … until we remove the impediment for redevelopment.”
It’s not that easy, according to Capitol South, the private non-profit group that coordinates research and financing for the project. A casino wouldn’t be legal in Columbus. More importantly, when they reached out to potential tenants for City Center, remodeling the site would cost from $200 to $250 a square foot. To demolish the site and rebuild, it would cost $140 to $160 per square foot. Another viewer asked, “Is this housing at Columbus Commons going to be affordable? Less than $200,000?“
NBC 4 had the same question. A housing study conducted on downtown said high-end condos are at full capacity, but there is a demand for affordable rentals. “We’re doing it right next door at Lifestyle Communities. This is a new development and rentals are from $700 to less than $1,000,“ said Mayor Michael Coleman.
Several viewers also questioned whether federal stimulus money could actually be used to keep police officers on the streets. We’ve heard repeatedly from Gov. Ted Strickland and Coleman that federal stimulus money must go toward shovel ready projects or those that have a green component.
But NBC 4 came across an interesting comment from President Barack Obama’s press secretary, talking about stimulus money for Columbus. Straight from a White House press briefing transcript, when asked about the stimulus package on Monday, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said about Columbus Ohio, “I think it’s safest to assume that the president’s package … which address the need to ensure public safety isn’t threatened … and money specifically for police officers … my sense is that Columbus, Ohio is probably going to get some of that money.”
But that was not part of Coleman’s federal stimulus request a few weeks ago because he didn’t know about it until recently. “We’ve also heard there is money available for possibly police,“ said Dan Williamson, of Mayor Coleman’s office.
So we went straight to the source that may know the most about the package in Ohio—Senator Sherrod Brown. “Why hasn’t this been talked about at the local level until this point?“ Hunt asked.
“I think it wasn’t clear what was going to be in the package,“ Brown said. “As the bill has progressed, there’s been other things to help communities, like police programs and firefighter programs.”
This is just the cusp of what the money can be used for—revised by the Democratic Policy Committee on Thursday. Ohio is set to get $6.8 billion for infrastructure and science, education and training, energy, protecting the vulnerable, law enforcement, unemployment benefits and tax cuts. “We will be at the table. They mayor will be at the table, fighting hard for those dollars,” Williamson said.

Will City Center Eviction Elevate Downtown?
NBC 4: For years, condos in downtown Columbus have sat vacant, many not wanting to move into the city without the comforts of the suburbs. The City Center plans may the first step in making downtown Columbus an attractive and permanent home address, but what else will it take to make the city more livable?
According to a recent study by Boulevard Strategies, 5,000 residents live in downtown Columbus. But more people work downtown than live in the area, even though there is a desire to... Lifestyle Communities is building condos at Front and Rich Streets, priced less than $200,000, with rentals between $700 and $1,000, and not far from the Waterford and Miranova, which have provided downtown living for years.
Viewers said they like all the new option popping up downtown, but they want to make sure grocery stores are available like the Giant Eagle in Victorian Village, the Kroger in the Brewery District or the North Market. Residents also want to make sure they’re safe. Police said that less than one percent of the aggravated assaults in the city happened in downtown last fall, adding that it helps that police headquarters is located there.

Quick Read
Mike Pramik and Marla Rose’s research for their front page article on support for the demolition of City Center, apparently did not include reading NBC 4’s message board… One look at that and you quickly deduce that Columbus Commons is less popular than George W. Bush.
Very popular in enjoyment and coverage was National Signing Day, also known as college football’s Christmas morning… Ken Gordon’s opening salvo on the Buckeyes finally signing a quarterback, though well written, should have never led the sports section… It should have been buried in a box on page C6. The Buckeyes have the number one young quarterback in the nation and he is legitimately a rising star in college football… Why are we obsessed about scoring a clipboard holder?
Tim May’s column on Big Ten recruiting controversy started strong and finished flat… Thankfully, Rob Oller cover his tracks… His feature on OSU’s deficiencies in recruiting lineman was the most intriguing story of the section. Bill Rabinowitz’s recount of the top classes was well written and the “Meet the Class of 2009” capsules page (C6), capped the section perfectly.
Misti Crane’s metro lead, about hospice helping children recover from a fire was exquisite. I almost cried three times…. Equally interesting was the sidebar story on medical privacy infringing upon university research…
The Dispatch continued their solid reporting on proposals from the State of the State… However, Robert Vitale’s column on the impending city council primary merited front-page section placement… With all the acrimony over feeling two vacancies, that was an important story…

BREAKING: Juicy Campus Crumbles
Despite viewers and volume, Juicy Campus could not survive. The anonymous gossip website will shut down tomorrow. Founder and CEO Matt Ivester explains his decision in this enclosed letter…
Juicy Campers,
What a wild ride this has been! In the past year and a half, JuicyCampus has become synonymous with college gossip, and is more popular than I could have ever expected. We’ve expanded to more than 500 campuses across the US, and have more than a million unique visitors coming to the site every month. It’s clear that we have provided a platform that students have found interesting, entertaining, and fun.
Unfortunately, even with great traffic and strong user loyalty, a business can’t survive and grow without a steady stream of revenue to support it. In these historically difficult economic times, online ad revenue has plummeted and venture capital funding has dissolved. JuicyCampus’ exponential growth outpaced our ability to muster the resources needed to survive this economic downturn, and as a result, we are closing down the site as of Feb. 5, 2009.
On behalf of everyone here at JuicyCampus, I would like to thank all of our users for reading, contributing to, and telling your friends about the site. And I’d like to thank everyone who has engaged in meaningful discussion about online privacy and internet censorship. JuicyCampus has raised issues that have passionate advocates on both sides, and I hope that dialogue will continue. While there are parts of JuicyCampus that none of us will miss – the mean-spirited posts and personal attacks – it has also been a place for the fun, lighthearted gossip of college life. I hope that is how it is remembered.
Keep it Juicy,
Matt Ivester

Buckeyes Boast Top Ranked Recruiting Class
10 TV: Ohio State signed 25 players to its 2009 class, coach Jim Tressel said Wednesday. In addition to Ohio State, LSU, Alabama and Southern California are among the highest ranked classes of the year.
The class is headlined by Cornerback/receiver Corey Brown, considered a five-star recruit by Rivals. His Monroeville, Pa., teammate, linebacker Dorian Bell, another five-star recruit, also committed to the class. "This class consists of young men who have been successful on the field and in school," Tressel said. "Nearly all of them were on a playoff team this fall, and overall, they bring close to a 3.0 GPA to Ohio State, a reflection of the work ethic they are developing to achieve those types of successes."
The class includes 14 players from Ohio, three from Pennsylvania and Florida, two from Michigan and one from Maryland, Kentucky and Texas. There are 13 offensive (4 offensive linemen, 4 running backs, 3 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 quarterback) and 12 defensive (4 defensive backs, 4 linebackers, 4 defensive tackles, 2 defensive end) players.
"This is a large class in terms of numbers, and a well-balanced class between Ohio and out-of-state players," said recruiting coordinator John Peterson. "At Ohio State, we know you win with people, and these are young people who know what it takes to succeed."

NBC 4: Following weeks of discussions on layoffs, cut-backs and closures, Columbus talked about higher taxes Tuesday night. The man who’s in charge of keeping track of Columbus dollars and cents said he believes the economic crisis is too deep and all options—no matter how unpopular—should be considered. City Auditor High Dorrain urged council to consider raising income taxes and said he believes it may be the only way to keep providing essential services. Dorrain suggested raising the tax .05 percent. That would be an extra half-cent on every dollar you earn. City income taxes were raised last in 1982.
Does the fact that income taxes haven’t been raised in 27 years, suggest to anyone else this is a bad idea? Governor Strickland is committed to not raising taxes in a crisis. Mayor Coleman should be also…
NBC 4: The controversial Ohio State University boat house along the Scioto River has hit a new snag. The multi-million dollar boat house will be located in Duranceaux Park and users or the park have been fighting the construction of it because of safety and environmental concerns. Now, there’s a new problem: it’s $500,000 over budget… The 22,000-square foot, two-level structure was originally estimated to cost $4.8 million. OSU officials said the project delays over the summer increased the price by nearly $500,000. Groundbreaking for the new boat house is expected to begin late in Summer 2009.
On Tuesday, the Dispatch reports that major OSU sports are facing budget problems… And we are discussing the rowing team? (Please, rowers, save your e-mails)…
NBC 4: A decorated Columbus police officer received the first of a new monthly award, recognizing law enforcement for their dedication to duty. CPD Officer Ryan Chrysler received the first Bryan Hurst/Tony Luzio Award Wednesday. The award was in recognition of Officer Chrysler’s dedication to duty. Seven weeks ago, an armed suspect shot Chrysler in the face at close range while Chrysler was responding to a possible robbery on Weber Road.
We never run good news…
