WASHINGTON -- Tension between House Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Jim Jordan over the nation's debt ceiling erupted Wednesday in a raucous meeting of House Republicans, with some GOP lawmakers demanding the firing of a key aide connected to Jordan.
The meeting highlighted the deep policy divisions that have smoldered beneath the surface for the past six months between Boehner and Jordan, two key Ohio Republicans from adjacent districts who find themselves on opposite sides over how best to raise the federal government's debt ceiling.

Q:My house doesn't have an attic, so a whole-house fan isn't practical, but I am looking for a way to use a fan to help cool my hot upstairs. I know there are fans that fit in windows to exhaust hot air and pull in cool night air, but I can't find anything to fit my sliding windows. Any ideas? - A. Porter
A:Fans don't actually have to fit into the window to help cool a hot room. Even ordinary floor fans - the square type that are sold at most department stores and home centers for about $20 each, can help a lot. For example, set the fan on a small table as close as possible to the open window. The fan can be turned to exhaust hot air out the window or to bring in fresh air from outside.

KETTERING -- Exactly one-third of the 42 voting precincts favored the May 4 Kettering schools property tax levy, and two-thirds voted against it, according to a precinct analysis by the Dayton Daily News.
Seven of the 14 precincts that voted in favor of the levy, according to final, unofficial results from the Montgomery County Board of Elections, were in one connected corridor. That included all four precincts that surround Fairmont High School -- from Stroop Road to just north of Dorothy Lane, and from just west of Far Hills to Ackerman Boulevard. Three adjacent precincts just south of Stroop on both sides of Far Hills also voted in favor of the levy.

FRA is amending its regulations on railroad workplace safety to further reduce the risk of serious injury or death to roadway workers performing work with potentially distracting equipment near certain adjacent tracks. In particular, this final rule requires that roadway workers comply with specified on-track safety procedures that railroads must adopt to protect those workers from the movement of trains or other on-track equipment on ``adjacent controlled track.'' FRA defines ``adjacent controlled track'' to mean ``a controlled track whose track center is spaced 19 feet or less from the track center of the occupied track.'' These on-track safety procedures are required for each adjacent controlled track when a roadway work group with at least one of the roadway workers on the ground is...

ALISO VIEJO - About 6,000 marijuana plants, with a street value of about $600,000, were removed Thursday from a canyon adjacent to an upscale Alison Viejo neighborhood.
The plants, cut down from the north and south sides of Wood Canyon, were watered by a system of hoses that tapped into lines of a homeowner association that feeds a tract of homes in the area of Peppertree and Sprucewood, said Assistant Sheriff Steve Bishop.
