  1. Qualls hits the little screen
  2. Noble supporters speak the expletive up Three reasons why Sandra Queen Noble has my vote for the (expletive) mayoral race. 1. Of the candidates, she is the only one who admits she doesn’t understand the problems, or have any (expletive) solutions. 2. Her name is Queen; she owns the (expletive) city already. 3. She speaks my (expletive) language. Steve Hennessy, Westwood http://cincinnati.com/blogs/letters/2013/09/03/an-endorsement-for-sandra-queen-noble/

  4. Frances Trollope had a hard time getting gas lights in her Bazaar in the 1830s. Dunno if this has anything to do with the current utility issues.

    Yea that guy is cool Well... woulda been nice if he'd waited for Ludlow to finish surveying before selling property, but... I read a story about him somewhere - said it took him 3 days to get from, like North Bend to Cumminsville or something. Said he got lost hiding from the indians by day & wolves by night.

    jeeze, ninja..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbhnRuJBHLs ALSO, if you do the east side thing, Alms park is nice, Mariemont has an indian mound & Columbia Parkway is a beautiful drive. Looks like nothing's going on at Oakley's 20th Century theater.

    Here's a guide to Cincinnati's central area. You hear a lot about Porktown's east & west sides, but the central area is pretty unique. http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-28438-guide_to_clifton_col.html
  17. Lunken wasted thousands of dollars, says audit Cincinnati has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars that could have gone toward improvements at city-owned Lunken Airport, because of poor contract management and technology problems. A recent internal audit by the city highlights five problems, including: • The Metropolitan Sewer District, which stores byproducts created at a nearby treatment plant on airport grounds, owes the city $420,000 for six years in back rent. • The city didn’t collect landing fees for a “couple years” because of a poor tracking system. The estimated loss, if the problem continued for two years, was $120,000. • The city is charging Sky Galley restaurant about $1,000 less in monthly rent than city law requires. City law also requires Lunken to collect a higher percentage of the restaurant’s gross revenue than the city has been collecting. Result: The city lost more than $105,000 in revenue. • Landmark, the airport’s fixed-base operator that provides services such as fueling and aircraft rentals, has not paid a 1 percent fee on all revenues since 2011. • Leases have expired on an unspecified number of hangers and other buildings at the East End airport. The city is collecting rent on the properties on a month-to-month basis, although auditors said the city might be able to raise rates if leases were actually in place. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?NoCache=1&Dato=20130828&Kategori=NEWS01&Lopenr=308280107&Ref=AR

    Researcher controls colleague’s motions in 1st human brain-to-brain interface "While researchers at Duke University have demonstrated brain-to-brain communication between two rats, and Harvard researchers have demonstrated it between a human and a rat, Rao and Stocco believe this is the first demonstration of human-to-human brain interfacing." no doubt an AI could manipulate a human pretty soon. Maybe even aa head of state. http://www.washington.edu/news/2013/08/27/researcher-controls-colleagues-motions-in-1st-human-brain-to-brain-interface/
  23. The Perkins on E Main in Springfield is closing. The owner says he can't keep up with the cheap fast food he claims is becoming more popular. Never been much of a Perkins fan but I have been to the owners other Perkins on N Limestone and it was the worst Perkins I have ever been to. Dirty, run down, slow & bleh food.
