All of these big canteen food trucks create hazardous and unsafe conditions being allowed to park on our public streets, especially this one.

Mowing the REAL way - with a sythe

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 06/27/2011 - 22:49.

This is my idea of good exercise.  And man it is exercise to use a sythe to mow. (image courtesy my friend Rich G.)

I think this is also an apt image - Realneo working with hand tools to mow the world while everyone else uses combines.  You get it? don't you?

Please relay your hand mowing exeriences for the rest of us.

After a Realneo user brought it to my attention, I was dumb founded by the issue earlier today too.

Then I remembered Realneo is now running an updated text editor module.  Its recent installation was the reason your computer's cache needs to be refreshed - in order to load the new editor module.

Thanks for your interest in Realneo.

Registered Sex Offenders Live Illegally Near Every School in Cleveland.

Submitted by tomtom on Mon, 06/27/2011 - 09:35.

 

RAG has asked the Cleveland Law Department to start a pilot project in our ward to move registered sex offenders to legal addresses.

The loophole in the residency laws forbids offenders from living near schools and other prohibited entities but fails to place a penalty on failing to do so. Each municipal law director must file a civil action against each offender to force them to move.

22nd International Folk Festival-One World

Submitted by lmcshane on Sun, 06/26/2011 - 17:56.


I have lived in NEO for most of my life and somehow this annual event was not on my radar. 

After a week of gloomy weather, the rain lifted and the sunshine and clouds almost stole the show--the dancing acts were entertaining, despite a difficult seating and stage arrangement.

Sustainable communities need a different kind of planning: Agile planning

Submitted by Ed Morrison on Sat, 06/25/2011 - 17:25.

At the Purdue Center for Regional Development, we are working to evolve more agile planning models under some HUD sustainability and Choice Neighborhood grants. 

So far, this much is clear to me: HUD’s staff is more project or transaction driven, and they have little experience thinking in a longer term strategic or systems context. So, the feds are not likely going to provide much guidance on these new models. 

Second, “logic models” — a primary tool used by the Feds and foundations to evaluate a potential investment — tend to be too simple to capture the complexities of a sustainable economy, which calls for a systems mindset. 

Third, we will need to experiment with new, agile planning approaches, because the traditional, linear planning models are inadequate for building sustainable communities. They are too liner, slow, inflexible and costly. 
 
The challenge we face involves developing agile, open processes that are guided by experienced collaborative leaders. Balancing open participation and leadership guidance seems to me to be at the heart of what we need to do.

Pigs might be able to be used to grow human organs within the next ten years, thanks to a breakthrough in stem cell research. It will be years before it can be done, however, since the process involves a substantial quantity of genetic manipulation.

Candidate Forums during Election Campaigns

Submitted by ANGELnWard14 on Fri, 06/24/2011 - 18:45.

While sorting, saving, reviewing and deleting over 3,000 emails; I found myself reviewing the mindboggling campaign trail of last year. It was intriguing to see countless organizations vying to host "Candidate Forums" and present "Candidate Info" via their mediums. The entire process is quite demanding and requires an administrative assistant or staff that can keep a candidate bouncing around town daily for months on end trying to meet, greet, and communicate with key leadership throughout the region. It was extraordinary to experience this environment.

Radioactive tritium leaks found 48 US nuke sites pipes buried underground 30 or 40 years never inspected whistleblower says

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Wed, 06/22/2011 - 03:17.

Radioactive tritium has leaked from three-quarters of U.S. commercial nuclear power sites, often into groundwater from corroded, buried piping, an Associated Press investigation shows. The number and severity of the leaks has been escalating, even as federal regulators extend the licenses of more and more reactors across the nation. Tritium, which is a radioactive form of hydrogen, has leaked from at least 48 of 65 sites, according to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission records reviewed as part of the AP's yearlong examination of safety issues at aging nuclear power plants.
