Chairman TAUZIN. I want to thank our guests for attending today. I think we still have empty seats if folks want to get com- fortable. Today we begin a series of 2 days of hearings. We have three panels today, extensive panels tomorrow. So I would invite every- one to get as comfortable as you can and ask everyone to give each other the courtesy of your attention as we go through a very hectic schedule for the next 2 days. Let me welcome my colleagues back to the grist mill. I am sorry we have to come together to examine such a tragic event in our Na- tion’s history as the huge Northeast blackout, but obviously it is a critical time for us to review what happened in that event so that we can make sure in the conference on energy that we make all the right decisions to hopefully prevent this in the future. Let me again welcome our colleagues and guests and also extend a special welcome to Secretary Abraham, our colleague from his former Senate days, and Mr. McSlarrow, who is accompanying him today in an effort to help us understand what did occur in the Northeast blackout. The Chair recognizes himself for an opening statement. On August 14, we were painfully reminded of the importance of electricity in our day-to-day lives. The scenes of the blackout were everywhere: people milling around the streets, sleeping on the steps

  • The Republican Sweep: Report on the 2010 Election Results in Ohio
    Mapping the Republican Sweep: The 2010 Election Results in Ohio This report maps the results of the 2010 election for state-wide offices in Ohio as well as voter turnout. The data for this report was taken from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office and indicate official results. Clearly, the 2010 election saw a sea change in Ohio politics, and dramatic contrast with the 2006 election: 2010 was a Republican sweep, while 2006 saw a near Democratic sweep of state-wide contests. The Overall Election Picture in Ohio In 2010, prior to the November election, all state-wide offices up for election were in the hands of Democrats, except for the open Senate seat and the state auditor. These offices included the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state treasurer. Republican challengers were able to defeat every one of these Democratic incumbents and to also hold the Senate seat. Some of the Republican victories were narrow, but some were fairly resounding. With a poorly performing state economy and with a strong sense of anti-incumbent anger brewing in the state, Democrats saw their fortunes turn negative across the board. Map 1 is a depiction of the distribution of Republican votes for the average of all of the state-wide races in Ohio in 2010. Map 1 There are several geographic patterns in Map 1. First, we see that there is an urban-rural split in the distribution of Republican votes. For the most part, counties with large cities in them such as Cuyahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Columbus), Lucas (Toledo), and Summit (Akron) leaned Democratic while more rural counties leaned Republican.

Improvements to the grounds in- cluded planting six redbud trees around the house, one in honor of each of the Ce- leste children. Raised vegetable beds were installed at the rear of the property, and The Three Sisters an herb garden with brick walls was built by artist John Spofforth of Athens, Ohio. by Joan Wobst The president of the Rosarian Association approached Dagmar Celeste and offered his assistance with the Rose Garden. He carefully dug up each plant and washed its roots before replanting it in fresh soil and taught Mrs. Celeste how to care for the roses. Beyond making physical alterations, Dick and Dagmar Celeste were the first to recognize the cultural potential of the house.
