First-Ever Nation-wide Emergency Alert System to be Tested Today

Today as I waited for the new tires to be mounted on my car at Firestone at Cedar Fairmount I had an hour to chill. I went across the street and engaged in a favorite pastime - wandering around in a bookstore. In this case, Appletree Books was handy, and it's a great place, warm and bright and full of interesting reads.

Whoa! What's that little book with the peas in a pod on the cover?

In my earlier post today, I have to apologize for not pointing out the significant contribution and influence REALNeo co-founder Norm Roulet had in me coming to NEO.

Yah sure - Norm and I don't see things eye to eye, but that's fine with me.

Not named nor indicted. Sound familiar? Keeping up with Forest City could be a full-time job. Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards watchdogs are keeping a sharp eye on the Cleveland firm’s cousin in Brooklyn and New York.

Lev Gonick at CWRU has been working for YEARS to bring fiber optic connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods around University Circle.  Well his journey is finally paying off!

Mayor Frank Jackson’s inaugural talk was uninspiring, tedious and lacking the very essence of what it said it was about – the future.

Jackson offered Clevelanders nothing.

After a conversation about Cleveland’s past and present problems a friend asked me the other night – what about solutions. Do you have any solutions? It is a question I’ve been asked before.

Does growing up rich, make you a better person?  It's scary to me that I am reliving the seventies, again...and revisiting movies and books that provided some compass for our future then.  Does anyone else remember Irwin Allen and Charlton Heston?

There must be a better way to build a better society.

Andrew Carnegie provided over 2,500 libraries across the world between 1883 and 1929.  What a great idea and gift.   The Brooklyn Branch of the Cleveland Public Library is one of Carnegie's libraries.

An amazing Jeremy Rifkin interview (in english).

Definitely worth the time!!!

Nobody sees the coming crisis :-(

I had to let this video load a fair amount of time to watch it unbroken.

i did a post about requesting help putting all   my post and comments on a dvd or cd and haven't received a reply    (see below)

We don't like to think about it...flush and it's gone, right? 

The NEORSD would have you believe that their proposed rate increase is an example of good government and sound ecology--and today they paid the Plain Dealer (with your money) to run a full-paid advertisement defending their decision to stick us with the additional fees.
