RESOLUTION OPPOSING HOUSING PROGRAM PULLED FROM COMMISSION AGENDA
In case you missed Monday's news, a resolution was placed on the Covington City Commission agenda opposing the city's participation in Move To Work, a federal housing program. Commissioners Steve Frank and Shawn Masters harshly criticized Housing Authority of Covington Executive Director Aaron Wolfe-Bertling over the issue. Commissioner Steve Casper then informed The River City News that the item had been pulled from the agenda. To catch up on that story and the rest of Monday night's late-breaking headlines (including the plans for a Walgreen's in place of an historic building near the Cathedral being pulled and one proposal for riverfront redevelopment being rescinded), click the link.

NO SMOKING SIGNS MAKE SMOKERS WANT CIGARETTES MORE
Notice people are a little jumpier in the non-smoking establishments of Kenton County? Here's why:
A new study from Brian Earp at Oxford University says that no smoking signs have an "ironic effect" on smokers in that they force them to think about cigarettes and, thus, make them want to light up: "In a series of experiments, the researchers showed that participants who had earlier been shown no smoking signs were more drawn to smoking-related images such as ashtrays and cigarettes."GOOD

COULD IT BE? AN ALL KENTUCKY FINAL FOUR?
A barely imaginable long-shot to be sure, but we have known for months that Kentucky, Louisville, and Murray State would compete in March Madness... but how about those Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky?! The school fires its head coach in early January in the midst of a losing season, but tonight when the Sun Belt Conference's automatic bid is awarded to the winner of its title game, WKU has a shot. With a 14-18 record, Western has shocked its conference rivals by advancing to the championship game against North Texas. If they win, they're in and Kentucky will have four teams in the NCAA tournament. Hopefully they'll all be in different regions so that at least we can dream of an all-Commonwealth Final Four. Go Tops!

CALIPARI, PITINO IN TOP FIVE HIGHEST COLLEGE SALARIES
Don't you wish you were a college basketball coach?
Kentucky’s John Calipari, the nation’s highest paid college basketball coach at $4 million annually, oversees a program that rakes in about five times that to the university.Forbes
(snip)
Coming in just behind Calipari on the men’s side: Michigan State’s Tom Izzo ($3.5 million), Florida’s Billy Donovan ($3.5 million), Kansas’ Bill Self ($3 million) and Louisville’s Rick Pitino ($2.5 million – also took home a huge retention bonus last summer). Most are paid relatively low base salaries – $300,000 or less – supplemented by TV, radio and shoe company money.

WHY PAPA JOHN'S DOES NOT DO STEEP DISCOUNTS
Interesting philosophy:
The No. 3 pizza chain has been trying hard to hold the line on discounting, instead sticking with its long-held premium-products-at-premium-prices message. While leader Pizza Hut pushes its $10 Dinner Box (one medium one-topping pizza, five breadsticks and 10 cinnamon sticks), No. 2 Domino's markets its new artisan pizzas for $7.99, and fourth-ranked Little Caesars continually offers $5 large carry-out pizzas, Papa John's has largely resisted drastic discounts and mostly relied on milder deals, such as $11 large pizzas.Who cares? Giuseppe's is far better than any chain! #NomNomNom
