A few weeks ago a Realneo report described how 5 police in one community spent a 1/2 hour moving a homeless fellow from a McDonalds - sending him on his way down the street to another ? location.

(NaturalNews) This is, without question, the most important article I've ever penned, because it discusses the idea that the human race is being destroyed in the name of science. What's clear from all this is that the human race is being murdered in the name of science.

Death by science

• Toxic pesticides that kill the soils and rivers? "Science!"

• Toxic chemical medications that kill humans and pollute downstream waters? "Scientific!"

This afternoon it was sunny out and I was up working on the roof where I could see the kids next door  bouncing a basketball in their driveway.    I also could see and hear - on the next street over - other kids playing basketball in their quiet residential street.   Both sets of kids could have had a pick up game if they just could get to one another conveniently and safely - through the middle of the block.

I wish I wrote this comment to the PD's soft peddle "in support of teachers" (gee gosh, GCP just figured out they NEED the teachers to push support for a levy...):
 

Within this article there are two messages. The first, of course, is another call by the Plain Dealer to pass a school levy.

"I am the president of youth," he said in a brief speech. "I know how happy you are, those of you who were here 31 years ago, but I also know how much you, the younger generation, want to take part in building the French nation."

"In every capital, beyond the heads of government and heads of states, there are people who have found hope thanks to us, who are looking to us and want to put an end to austerity."

An annual report released by Reporters Without Borders highlighted the sad decline of the free press in the United States, with emphasis on the arrests of many journalists who covered the Occupy Wall Street protest movement. The U.S. fell 27 points to a rank at #47 for freedom of the press, putting it in league with many third world nations with little regard for America's first amendment laws & traditions.

When last we left Juanita Myrick, the meticulous bureaucrat and longtime veteran of the Cuyahoga County Department of Employment and Family Services had been indicted for stealing $864,000 in welfare checks from the agency. In a marathon scam that escaped the county’s notice for a whopping 13 years, Myrick would doctor the files of former welfare clients, switching their information on the computer so that she got the checks instead of them.

Seems to be "freeware."

CNET also shows you how to use string and an eyebolt to creat a "stringpod" when you don't have a tripod but need one. See it here http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57423901-285/diy-the-string-tripod-a...

Federal agents have arrested five people who were plotting to blow up a bridge near Cleveland, Ohio, an incident not connected to the anniversary of former al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden's death, officials say.

Why is it that of all the Occupy camps across the USA, the FBI took up a "successful" sting/entrapment operation in Public Square?   Could it be true that there is a more active wanna-be "anarchist" spirit here in Cleveland than, say, in Oakland, CA?    Just curious of the instigating circumstances which led the FBI to become involved....

Wood's Pulitzer marks the first win for the seven-year-old Huffington Post and a milestone in the influential Pulitzer committee's recognition of online-only news organizations.

State wildlife and environmental protection officials have finished counting the number of fish found dead along a three-mile stretch of the Rocky River.

Their tally totals 28,613 fish and other aquatic species such as crayfish and frogs, dead as a result of a still-unknown cause.

The fish were discovered late Sunday by an angler who alerted the Ohio Division of Wildlife through that agency’s poacher-reporting hotline.

Meet with a couple visting from Dayton to research her family--specifically, the Fish Family, one of the original settlers in Cuyahoga County.  It helps that the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood retains some of the architecture and landmarks that can help her trace her family and provide a touchstone. 

How many of us, will be able to have that comfort ten, twenty, thirty years from now??
