The Cincinnati Beacon Black Males Under Arrest! by Michael Earl Patton, Senior Analyst
Get Published? What rubbish! When The Cincinnati Enquirer decided to infiltrate the blogosphere -feeling intimidated by the threat posed by blogs and the “new media” -- they unveiled over 30 blogs of their own and an interactive feature called “Get Published.” That way, they could get free content from unpaid citizen writers. But this was not “citizen journalism” in a grassroots sense. It was a corporate attempt to monopolize the democracy of blogs. But who needs The Enquirer’s “Get Published!” feature, when you can simply publish yourself! To learn more, just visit cincinnatibeacon.com. Then click the button labeled “Rubbish.”
Notes ‘n Dotes → Did Jeff Berding, Chris Bortz, and Leslie Ghiz get drunk off wine during the City’s budget negotiations? If you have any evidence, let us know! → Have you seen this man?
Ever since Cincinnati enacted its anti-marijuana ordinance, thousands of people have been arrested, earning permanent marks on their criminal records. But how do these arrests look from the perspective of race? From the law's inception through May 10 of this year, 577 whites have been arrested. For that same time period 3,644 blacks have been arrested. 20 people of unidentified race have also been arrested along with 2 Asians. This means that about 6 blacks have been arrested under the ordinance for every 1 white. Ye t s u r v e y s s h o w

Another 98º Star in a New Reality Show by Jason A. Haap, MA The Dean of Cincinnati Nick Lachey became a household name when the Cincinnati native and member of pop band 98 Degrees starred on a reality show. Now, another member of 98 Degrees, Jeff Timmons, is starring on a new reality show for VH-1 to be released this fall. Recently, Timmons gave The Cincinnati Beacon an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming program. The premise of the new show (which has not yet been named) was to take guys from different boy bands to see how they would make music together -- so VH-1 contracted Jeff Timmons, Chris Kirpatrick (from InSync), Brian Abrams (Color Me Badd), and Rich Cronin (LFO).
The gimmick should seem obvious at first -- using the genre of reality programming to make boy band members look ridiculous.

"The intent at first might have been to make people look foolish," explained Timmons. "The writers would put us in situations that made us less than comfortable, but we were used to doing things that make us look that way."
