Ohio collective-bargaining battle gets personal
Columbus, Ohio (CNN) - In their bruising fight over collective-bargaining rights with Ohio's governor, police and firefighter unions have put their battle cry on a bumper sticker, "Help the Middle Class, Ticket Kasich."
The one-liner is a reference to a 3-year-old routine traffic stop that Gov. John Kasich would rather forget.
In 2008, Kasich was pulled over by Columbus police Officer Robert Barrett for failing to change lanes while passing an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing.
Flash forward to 2011. Days after being sworn in as governor, the longtime Republican politician ridiculed the citation he received, telling a group of state employees that Barrett was an example of poor public service.

Baby bald eagles to hatch on live web feed
Three baby bald eagles are about to hatch...live on the web.
The Raptor Resource Project, an Iowa-based non-profit, set up two cameras perched 80 feet high in a cottonwood tree where the mother eagle has her nest. The group will provide live streaming of the nest through all three eggs hatching.
The group says at such high resolution, viewers should be able to see cracks forming in the eggs before they hatch.
You can check it out now on Ustream.com. Watch the mother eagle waking up on "American Morning" this morning.
