A group of researchers working at the Human Genome Project indicate that they made an astonishing scientific discovery: They believe so-called 97% non-coding sequences in human DNA is no less than genetic code of extraterrestrial life forms.

Folks, this might be a very special week, starting Monday July 25th, 2011.

Many say that we, as a civilization, are looking into the depths of a coming deep depression brought on by an actual default of the U.S. Federal government.  Even just the simple continuing disagreement between the right-controlled U.S. House and the ever-so-centering President Obama about what to do into the next week could prompt a falling investment bond rating.

From what I've been reading, a falling bond rating for the U.S. is a falling financial rating for every borrower in the U.S.

subtext: CMSD pays big bucks--your money--- to Weston Development Group...to eventually determine that it will be most cost effective for administrators to work out of one of the district's shuttered schools--either East High or South High. 

 

As the Chinese built QJ6988 steam locomotive is pushing backwards towards the switch which will allow the train to then head west past the Rock Island Arsenal - I am posting live via a hot spot.  More soon

On a train (steam) out of Rock Island Anna was a passenger - like the rest of us...in the 100 degree heat.

Later that evening over red wine I met her parents at a dinner party and Anna was there too...

(just trying to get this blog together - so far it's fiction) 

 

Realneo brought some of Northeast Ohio's most engaged and amazingly brilliant activists together and incited more than enough community activism over the last couple years to keep the feds busy for the endurance. I have been blessed to know, interact, and learn from so many of these people including Lily Miller, Norm Roulet, Debra Shephard and many more... Heck, without REALNEO, I probably never would have heard of ROLDO...but reading his work has been truly stimulating.

 The Chicago Tribune reports that their unionized printing press will close this fall.   

400 union workers will be out of work.

Next question: will the plant be dismantled and sold elsewhere? or has the internet made this very new (12 years old) plant obsolete - scrap?

Is the closing the result of decreasing demand for print media or a means of removing the union?   Probably both.

In the North East Ohio area Berea sandstone was used for many building projects, including all the sidewalk slabs in many communities.   The quarries were massive operations.

The Italians have a few flourishes that other cultures do not have.   Gelato ice is one of those flourishes. This display at Gigi Gelateria is in a freezer  with a glass top and faces the public sidewalk in the North End, Boston, Massachusetts. - Every passerby has to look - and resist or buy.  

Multiple videos have been released showing high levels of radiation in Canada as the corporate media continues to cover up the real dangers posed by the  Fukushima nuclear disaster.The tests were taken in multiple places in Canada including Lake Louise BC, Kelowna BC, Red Deer/Edmonton, and Hope BC.The radiation tests that were taken near Lake Louise Alberta clearly showed harmful radiation levels up to 1.66 mcSv/hr .So far Can

 

 

 

Imagine living without a sense of community...

Imagine living without a HD TV....no cable, no converter box, and no signal to the world.

Imagine living without transportation....

Imagine earning barely enough to afford rent, utilities, food, and minimal basics.

Imagine living without excursions like Cedar Point, expensive restaurants, or annual vacations.

Imagine not knowing your next door neighbor's name.

Dear Activist, here is your July 15, 2011 edition

Since I had only one day notice of the meeting, I complained and found that other people had had earlier notices and Sammy Catania had provided Henry Senyak with a list of dates. I suggested they be put in the newsletter. Well, the date it has to go to the printer doesn't allow for that. Well, print the whole list! Fortunately, the helpful Public Information Officer sent me the list, and here it is! I hope in the future to not be the only one raising questions/from the board.

TREMONT WEST DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION has dropped their-our adopte-help a senior and or disabled program a few years ago - because of twdc corruption side and guy and jerleen and others were at a twdc aboard meeting a few months ago and demanded that the help a senior program be reinstated now and cris garland excutive director stated twdc will reinstate said program and judge lynn murry also the tresurer board member of twdc said she would bring said program back with the help of the dept. of aging of cleveland - no help seniors etc.

In a light drizzle at the front door of Cleveland Heights City Hall this evening Kathy Wray Coleman and others addressed the 5 or so commercial news camera crews who were in attendance.   This curfew story obviously must have strong commercial news potential. Cleveland Heights City Hall is located on the Severance Mall campus at the corner of Taylor and Mayfield. There was no police presence, and those 15 or so citizens who attended were a pretty even mix of white and black.

 Norm Edwards sees it my way when he states:

 that he believed that the entire contract for Medmart was illegal and that it was done purposely to keep out blacks out.  

I don't think the MEDCON tax brain child of Tim Hagan was concerned or cared about who worked on the site either which way.  I think the Medcon county wide tax was Tim Hagan's Jim Dimora moment.

Do it in Public, and no one will notice.  

Try to grab a tiki hut, and it will be all over the news...

The truth shall set us free.

In the event you missed this beautiful display of flowers and hearty dedication to a garden around a REALNEO member's home; I thought I would share the delightful photos I was able to capture upon visiting today.

This is a plastic water pistol I found in the park.   Looked like the lawnmower ran over it. 

What was in the head of the designer...was it molded in China...did a parent buy it for their kid...

Pretty sophisticated color scheme.   

So I laid the broken pieces out on a white matt for this study.

Dear editors of the Plain Dealer:

Thank you for the continuing focus the Plain Dealer has been giving to the
controversial, and potentially very damaging to all of the Great Lakes region,
piece of legislation that passed both the Ohio House and Senate—and especially
for your “11th hour” editorial leading Ohio governor John Kasich, and all readers,
back to his utterance of support for the Great Lakes last year on the campaign trail.
