Alexander Waterland, 25, of Loveland Ohio pleaded guilty today to conspiring to threaten the University of Pittsburgh in a YouTube video this spring.
Waterland faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both when he is sentenced before U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti on March 15.
Federal prosecutors outlined today the evidence collected against Mr. Waterland and his co-worker, Brandon Hudson, 26, of Hillsboro, Ohio, who has also pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the case. Officials said they were not responsible for the dozens of emailed bomb threats sent to the university that spring. Read on at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette...
A second Ohio man has pleaded guilty to sending anonymous YouTube threats in which he claimed to have hacked into the University of Pittsburgh's computer system on the heels of a series of unrelated bomb threats.
Authorities say 25-year-old Alexander Waterland, of Loveland, Ohio, pleaded guilty Thursday to a charge of conspiracy to commit Internet extortion. Brett Hudson, of Hillsboro, Ohio, pleaded guilty in October.
An Ohio man pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to use YouTube, Gmail and Twitter to extort University of Pittsburgh officials in April.
“I do plead guilty, your honor,” said Alexander Waterland, 25, of Loveland Ohio, after Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kitchen described how Waterland and Brett Hudson, 26, of Hillsboro, Ohio, extorted university officials.
The pair claimed to have about 200 gigabytes of personal information on faculty and staff that they would release unless the chancellor apologized for “failing” to protect students during a series of bomb threats earlier in the spring.
Kitchen agreed with Waterland’s attorney, Anthony Bittner, that the pair never actually hacked into the university’s secure computer servers.
Conti scheduled Waterland’s sentencing for March 15. Hudson pleaded guilty to the conspiracy in October, and Conti scheduled his sentencing for Feb. 8.

By U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt,
Ohio’s Second Congressional District
The laughter and love of family members gathered around the dinner table at Thanksgiving provide food for the soul.
If all you have is a loving family, then you have been blessed. We who also have warm homes and sturdy tables at which our family members can share stories as well as a few slices of turkey and pie have even more to celebrate.
As you give thanks to God for your blessings this holiday, please remember in your prayers those less fortunate.
Many families in Southern Ohio and elsewhere have been hit hard by the economic downturn. The number of people on food stamps has spiked in recent years, largely because of unemployment.
The forces of nature also have proven costly. Many in the Clermont County village of Moscow were displaced this past March, when a tornado ripped through the community of about 296 people. Nearly 100 homes were hit hard, and several people were killed.
Progress has been made in cleanup efforts related to several March tornadoes that destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes and other structures in Clermont County – as well as some property in Adams County, Brown County, and Scioto County. But work remains to be done.
That puts into perspective the task that lies ahead for our fellow Americans along the East Coast, whose lives were disrupted last month by Hurricane Sandy.
Homes, businesses, and hospitals were flooded as a result of the storm, with some structures knocked off their foundations and others crumbling or catching fire. Also damaged were bridges, tunnels, subways, and commuter rail lines.
More than 100 lives were lost, and about 1 million people had to be evacuated.
The cleanup will be a massive undertaking, costing tens of billions of dollars. The halt in business activity will result in lost revenue totaling tens of billions of dollars more.
Numerous federal agencies have deployed thousands of government workers to help, and Congress might consider increasing disaster funds to afflicted states. But it could take years for some areas to return to normal.
Some officials have suggested donations of money to agencies such as the American Red Cross. Here in Ohio’s Second Congressional District, the Blue Ash-based charity Matthew 25: Ministries also can accept supplies to aid in the relief efforts. (For information about recovery efforts and how you can help, visit this federal government website: www.usa.gov/Topics/Weather/Hurricane/sandy.shtml)
The good news in Southern Ohio is that many compassionate people are trying to help out those less fortunate, perhaps through donations to charities such as the Salvation Army or the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
If you can’t afford to donate money or goods, then consider giving some of your time.
I’ll be among hundreds who will volunteer an hour or more next week to pack food for the needy at the Freestore Foodbank in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.
Last year, the work included toting 10-pound sacks of potatoes, five-pound bags of apples, and onion sacks that weighed about two pounds. Some of the food ended up with families as far away as Scioto County – one of seven counties in Ohio’s Second Congressional District, which I represent.
While based in Hamilton County, the Freestore Foodbank helps people in 20 counties through food pantries, including residents of Clermont County, Brown County, Adams County, and Pike County. Over a three-day period before Thanksgiving last year, about 700 volunteers packed 10,200 boxes of food for distribution – including a turkey or chicken in each one. That was enough to feed more than 25,000 individuals, including 13,000 children.
At times like this, it is important to remember that we are the United States of America – with an emphasis on “United.” The strength of our Union, combined with the blessings of God, enables us to overcome tragedies
Despite the unexpected trials that arise, we will carry on – working together to rebuild.

New Acronym for the GOP?

The 2012 elections may be over, but legislative attacks on Planned Parenthood are still underway.
The Health Committee of the Ohio House of Representatives advanced a bill on Wednesday that could strip $1.7 million in federal funding from Planned Parenthood. All 11 Republicans on the committee voted in favor of the bill, and all nine Democrats opposed. Read on at Huffington Post..
Abortion-rights Supporters Push Back Against Ohio legislation

"Broke Ohio law, violated a court consent order and acted in a “ surreptitious manner”
In a sharply worded ruling that placed blame squarely on Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley ordered today that specific provisional ballots cannot be discarded as final tabulation of last week’s election returns begins.
Marbley said that Husted broke Ohio law, violated a court consent order and acted in a “ surreptitious manner” in issuing an order the weekend before the Nov. 6 election. Husted’s action, Marbley said, “casts serious doubt on his protestations of good faith.” Read on at Columbus Dispatch...

Arlington, Virginia - President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama made time for a quick visit and photo with 50 Loveland High School (LHS) seniors Veteran’s Day weekend while the students were touring Arlington National Cemetery, one stop on the class tour of Washington D.C.
“Out of all the memorials we visited, Arlington National Cemetery had the most profound effect on me,” said Matt Becker, LHS senior. “It was overwhelming to see the expanse of the cemetery, as it seemingly never ended. I walked away from Arlington with a recognition of just how lucky I truly am and an admiration of the American troops who lay it all on the line for our freedom.
“Meeting Mr. and Mrs. Obama was something that I will never forget. I noticed that no matter how the media praises or rebukes them, they still concern themselves with the needs of the American people. It gave me some insight into the extreme amount of pressure placed on the President.”
“Meeting President Obama and the First Lady was surreal,” said Jenna Myklebust, LHS senior. “It still feels like a dream. They were so grateful and caring toward the families at the cemetery. I think the most shocking thing was how real, modest, and genuine they are.”
Dave Volkman, LHS social studies teacher, organizes the trip each year. Fifty seniors are allowed to sign up to go and are selected on a first come, first serve basis.
“This is the first time the students have gotten to meet the President,” said Volkman. “My hope is that they leave with a deeper, better understanding of American ideals and history, and the responsibilities of citizenship.”

We're beyond over-sharing—we're perma-sharing. Between texts, Twitter, and Facebook, we have more vessels for venting than we have thoughts worth sharing. So you might assume, with all these ways to communicate, that a friend in trouble will make it obvious to everyone. Don't. Don't assume anything. Read on at Gizmodo's guide to etiquette...

“It’s a passion for me,” said Nichols. “I was really excited to do it.”
Bryant Nichols chatted casually about his latest assignment, but there was nothing informal about the task; Nichols designed the first ever Loveland High School (LHS) crest, and his work will be featured on new, sustainable robes that will be ready when the Class of 2013 walks across the graduation stage.

Seeking dry storage for a semi-truckload of tools (26 pallets)
Dear Loveland Magazine Readers,
We have a good problem. The Garden Weasel people are donating a semi-truckload of their Garden Weasel Cultivators to Granny's Garden School. The problem is, we have to find a dry place to store them. So, we're looking for someone who might have a warehouse or such space that they would be willing to donate for us to use for a while.
I am coming to you, our amazing supporters, to see if you have such a space or know of someone who might. The shipment will be here within a week. We need to find a location a.s.a.p to complete delivery plans.
Thank you for your support. It is much appreciated.

Donations Now Being Accepted
Loveland, Ohio - On Friday December 21st, The Loveland Initiative will hold its 15th Annual Christmas Toy Store. The Christmas Toy Store helps families who can not afford to buy toys and gifts for their children without assistance. Each year, approximately 200 children from low-income families in the Loveland area receive gifts via the Christmas Toy Store. Through this program, registered families “purchase” toys and gifts at a nominal cost. The Loveland Initiative encourages self-respect that comes from parents financially contributing—to the extent possible—to their child’s Christmas. This year, registered parents/caregivers will shop for gifts at The Loveland Initiative’s offices at 11020 Lebanon Road (inside Northstar Church).
The Initiative will accept donations of NEW UNWRAPPED toys and gifts for children, preteens and teens beginning November 1st. Donations can be dropped off at any of the Loveland City School District buildings during school hours. In addition to gifts, volunteers for pick-up, wrapping, displays and transportation are needed. Contact Tara at (513) 225-5017 or e-mail birchiet886@yahoo.com with questions or to volunteer.
The Loveland Initiative uses the proceeds from the Christmas Toy Store to support programming and needs. Since 2001, proceeds have been used for the Tracy L Johnson Scholarship Fund which assists recipients furthering their education. Through this program, fourteen college scholarships—one-time awards of $1500 each—have been awarded to Loveland graduates. In August of this year, one scholarship was awarded to recent Loveland graduates: Ms. Sandy Sechang. She believes that one of the ways to empower people, and break the cycle of poverty, is through education.
The Loveland Initiative is a 501 (c)3 public charity, has served the Loveland community since 1996, and is located at 11020 Lebanon Road, Loveland, Ohio, within Northstar Church. With a mission to educate and assist low-income children and their families, it currently provides support families living primarily within the Loveland City School District.
