The Cincinnati Transit center is not REALLY next to Fountain Square. There is a large 5/3rd building on that side of Fountain Square, and the buses and passengers really cannot be seen by anything going on in the Square. People wanting to get to the Square are not bothered by the bus patrons. Each road in the intersection of the Transit Center are one-way, away from Fountain Square, which means traffic is not bothered by the buses. Something similar in Cleveland would be to move the transit center to the west side of PS and just off the square itself. Have the buses go into this area instead of up and around Terminal Tower.

The are very interesting, but are not very informative and cannot tell someone anything about what they are digesting. As Johio said, most people would be disgusted as to what happens within the digestive system even with a regular diet. Digesting a steak is not the same as putting it in a blender, and all of a sudden the benefits are available. The meat still has to be processed by the body, through the use of acids, bases, and enzymes. The process starts with saliva. How else do you think that stuff comes out the other end?

The videos are short on facts. Like his sugar in coke video. Obviously too many cokes can provide too many calories. He doesn't give all the facts, or assumes that since the sugar has undergone a chemical reaction to ethanol, it is no longer there. Yes, technically there is no sugar in booze, but the calories are still there! I challenge anyone to make moonshine without sugar! The Cleveland Sugar wars didn't occur because they wanted it for their coffee!!

Right, you get that same curdling in a root beer or coke float. You can always see little scum on the edges. Then you swallow it, and the stomach acid continues the process and it gets passed on. It doesn't wait for the rest of the beverage and sit there with a lid on it!

Yeah, I don't get the point, unless it's fearmongering. Only the proteins in the milk coagulating in the acid. I loved the analogy of chasing down potato soup with a coke! I guess it might be as intense, if the stomach was a closed system, but it is not. In fact, the reaction would be worse in the stomach because the pH is much lower than a simple bottle of Coke. How do you think the body extracts the proteins from the milk? They break them down by the use of acids.

Well, there are considerable costs associated with ice melting. CaCl2 is the salt of choice, but only lets down to about minus 22Degrees whereas NaCl2 gets down to -25 degrees. CaCl2 will melt about twice as much ice as the same amount of NaCl however. KCl does a much better ice melting job, but is not good at the lower temperatures. Most concrete damage does not actually occur from the salt, but from the freeze/thaw cycle on questionable concrete. I laugh when newscasters compare using Calcium chloride to salt. CaCl2 is a salt.

Nice way to treat a world class facility. Why would you suggest they pay for the streetcar and not the other facilities?

You've got that backwards, one tsp. is approx 4 grams.

You're right. It works both ways. I feel the same about the Browns trading Kosar, and Thome leaving. Bernie should have been allowed to stay and transition into a future after his playing days were over. The city owed him that just for his saying he wanted to play here. Thome could have been a god in Cleveland, instead he got just a few million more, and no legacy. I also think the Browns should have drafted Clay Matthews Jr. just for what his father was. As it turned out, it would have been a great move anyway, not only for the human interest part.

Loyalty is #1 in my book. I don't want him back.

I'm also guessing that the wealthy rehabbers in Knox Hill don't want anyone living in a $50,000 home down the street from them! Let's face it, an Empire rehab is nice for someone who can afford it, but as a nice middle class home, it is probably severly lacking. Restored neighborhoods cannot be the goal for everyone. Everyone can't afford it.

What I've been reading, is that it is happening to high school and college pitchers. They to be the best! While pitching seems to be more and more limited in the professional ranks, high school and college have actually increased the amount of innings pitched when you take into account the select leagues these players play in during the off season. It seems the general concensus is that pitchers come back stronger after the surgery. Some attribute that improvement to the rigorous rehab required after surgery, no one works as hard otherwise. My question is, why not improve the workout plans for young players to make their arms strong enough to avoid the surgery in the first place? Don't forget the Indians claim to fame in all of this. We traded away Tommy John for 2 good years worth of Rocky Colavito.

Yeah, that's why I said it that way, if he was abusing it, then it's different. The question is, how do you prove it? Its not fair to ban all uses because it "might" be abused.

The league would have a hard time giving him a year suspension if the league is seriously considering reducing the requirement. I have a harder time with the legitimate use of prescription medication. Using cough syrup with codeine in an abusive way, is definetly different than its normal use. I would think in a sport as painful as football can be, there are legitimate uses for codeine; as in Tylenol #1-3; to relieve pain. Adderall, although it is only an expensive version of amphetamine, (the same as the "greenies" atheletes used to take) is a legitimate drug for those with ADD. Easy to prove if someone has used it for years and each case should be evaluated differently.

How you can interpret anything he said as bullying, is beyond me.

It's whatever the market will bear. It's the cost of doing business, the cost of having major league teams. If the city is prepared to lose that business to another city willing to pay, then so be it. Sort of like the free agent market. No team wants to pay someone already in the fold, but another team will.

Well, I never said it was great because it has over 270,000 people, I only said that it was more than a small suburb, it was a city in itself. I don't know if having many corporate HQ or being on a lot of lists makes it great, but it sounds like a nice place to work and live. I would suspect that some of California's employees might enjoy the change.

Most major corporations travel to their locations to observe departments. This is no different, plus they have offered jobs to everyone and many will seize the opportunity and take them. They are not robots. They may choose to leave eventually after being there a while, but they will not be laid off, and they will not be fools for buying a house. Can a suburban city itself ever become Urban? Does a population of more than 270,000 qualify? I've spent a lot of time in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and you couldn't tell when one city stopped and another began. Plano is only 18 miles from Dallas. Do you really think its a horrible place? It sounds good to me! Plano is located within the metropolitan area commonly referred to as the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The city is home to many corporate headquarters: Alliance Data, Cinemark Theatres, Dell Services, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Ericsson, Frito-Lay, HP Enterprise Services, Huawei, J. C. Penney, Pizza Hut, Rent-A-Center, Traxxas, and Siemens PLM Software. In 2005, 2006, and 2011, Plano was designated the best place to live in the Western United States by CNN Money magazine. In 2006, Plano was selected as the 11th best place to live in the United States by CNN Money magazine. It was also selected as the safest city in America in 2010 and 2011 by Forbes. Plano schools consistently score among the highest in the nation. It has been rated as the wealthiest city in the United States by CNN Money, and the United States Census Bureau declared Plano the wealthiest city of 2008 by comparing the median household income for all U.S. cities whose populations were greater than 250,000. In 2008, Forbes.com selected Plano, University Park, and Highland Park as the three "Top Suburbs To Live Well" of Dallas.

Austin and Columbus have something Cleveland doesn't have.

^Yeah! What he said!

There are so many factors involved in this situation that it actually is foolish to make such a blanket statement.

He's dead? I just saw him at a gas station! He will be 80!

Really? You don't consider Lakewood to be part of Greater Cleveland? Weren't the Cavaliers from Cleveland when they played in Richfield? The Giants and the Jets play in a different state!!

I disagree. This must pass. The results from all of our teams prove that they are vital to the success of a Major League City. Pass the tax, then work to make other changes.

'll say it again. Almost 50 million people at the Jake in 20 years, the general area around gateway, E. 4th, E. 9th, the area was a mess before. How can anyone say that the improvement might have happened without the sports teams.
