UCplanner

as for the BSB a rep from OKI was at the Height community council meeting last night to talk about the uptown plan. They were talking about a new exit off I-71, but said that OKI's main priority is the BSB and that funding has been increasingly difficult...so basicall. . . we are going to have to live with BSB for quite a while

^good to hear

the rates i was refering to were for a telecommunication company... not IPR... I shouldn't have brought that one up. . . FYI (Randy must be in a bad mood today...j/k man)

i bet these people will shop at the greene...

i have a friend that works at a call center in cincy, and i used to work at one too. . . these centers definetely do not pay enough to be considered "middle class employers. If anything, these places are worse than some other places. They have VERY few managers (who would make more money). I don’t think this is that large of a loss. Even people that work 40 hours a week . . .MIGHT make 18-20 a year...definetely not middle class

Unless they need more room for big boxes….haha .. I kid, I kid :evil:

Listen guys and gals i need some help... I am looking for a place (ohio, kentucky, maybe even WV) that can house about 40 guys for a weekend. I need a ploace that has plenty to do (hiking, swimming, fishing...whatever..) and it also needs to have somewhere that we can meet as a group. Does anyone know of a place like this??? We need to be able to get work done, but we also want to be pretty secluded from society. Any help would be greatly appreciated. .... oh yah, this is for a fraternity so, keep that in mind....

i sat on the other side with some friends...

WE WON!!!!!! GO CATS

i disagree with city beat being fair and balanced... i think they push their left wing agenda just as much as the enquirer pushes their right wing... remember urban lobbying randy... everyone pushes their agenda.... ALWAYS

From the Hamilton County Zoning Resolution: 9 foot stall width for all 20 foot acess drive width for all 0 degree parking (curb side) Length -23 ft. Aisle width - 12 ft(one way), 18 ft (2 way) 30-53 degree parking length- 18 ft Aisle width - 13 ft (one way), 20 ft (2 way) 54-75 degree parking length - 19 ft. Aisle width - 18 ft (one way), 22 ft (2 way) 76-90 degree parking length - 19 ft. Aisle width - 22 ft (one way), 24 ft (2 way)

i can't believe i missed that weekend...great shots

I was wondering where this has been, Rando and i would definetely like to know what happens with this...after all , we developed the plan..

I will tell you guys how it looks when i get the plans in.

I saw a graphic once that overlaid the masonic compass over a picture of downtown and it fit perfectly. It was pretty interesting... does anybody else know about sandusky's masonic heritage???

they may be the developer. .. but the property manager is Eagle (95% sure) i was talking with the eagle rep at Stratford a few days ago

Stetson Square is an Eagle Realty property. I have been very happy with the kinds of projects that Eagle has been supporting lately.

2007 UC football schedule Aug. 30 or Sept. 1 - S.E. Missouri State (4-7) Sept. 6 - Oregon State (21) (10-4) Sept. 15 - at Miami (2-10) Sept. 22 - Marshall (5-7) Sept. 29 - at San Diego State (2-9) Oct. 6 - at Rutgers (10) (11-2) Oct. 13 - Louisville (6) (12-1) Oct. 20 - at Pittsburgh (6-6) Nov. 3 - at USF (9-4) Nov. 10 - Connecticut (4-8) Nov. 17 - West Virginia (12) (11-2) Nov. 24 - at Syracuse (4-8) I think that this is a very good schedule for us... not too tough but definetely not easy. Oregon State was a good choice for a non-conerence game. After all they were the only one’s to beat USC. Other than that, pretty easy pre-conference schedule. The BEAST should be pretty good this year...my guess in final rankings 1.) Louisville (top ten BCS) 2.) Rutgers (top ten BCS) 3.) Southn Florida ( top 25) 4.) west virginia ( top 25) 5. )Cincinnati (top 25 some part of the season , may not end there though... i'm biased i know) 6.) Pitt 7. syracuse 8. UConn my guesses.... don't b#*tch at me

i didn't know carmen had more than one verse...they only sing one at the football games....or at least it seems shorter than that.... You mean something like this Neville???? RED AND BLACK - The red and black shall triumph as we're struggling down the field Oh, fight for Cincinnati, McMicken's foes shall yield, Remember, men, the honor That hangs upon the game, Remember you are battling now For old McMicken's fame Fight, Cincinnati, And show the foe who holds the sway For the red and black Shall drive them back and win the game today! Fight, Cincinnati, The vic'trys ours again, The bonfire's light Will flare tonight, The red and black shall reign I don't know give a cheer...maybe Neville does.......GO CATS!!!!!

My first thought is that I like the idea. My next thought is how??? I think it is important to realize exactly where we are (green Twp. ). But, that does not mean that something cannot be done. In the coming weeks we are going to be working on a SPI district study for almost the exact area that Rando outlined. I am going to be putting my 2 cents about urban design principles but that is not guaranteeing that they will be in there. Most likely the new SPI district will include. Decreased setback requirements. Urban design standards for landscaping/parking lots/sidewalks/façade improvements/ pedestrian connection. This project would not be fast moving. Tenants would not be required to upgrade to these standards. But, as they decide to make small improvements to their property, they will be required to implement these design standards. More information in the coming weeks, as we get started on this thing.

My understanding is that the CAS is scheduled to go where the abandoned auditorium is on the west side of the campus (by DAAP). When it comes to Burnett Woods. I always thought that it would be a good place to put dorms along MLK….DAAP, Engineering, and the business college are directly on MLK and students want to be close to their classes. It would also be nice is Burnett was included in the campus master plan and UC made a commitment to draw people in from campus better than it does in its current state. But an Arena could fit into that plan too…

10 Hot Jobs for 2007 What are the hottest jobs for 2007? Fast Company spoke with trend experts to compile a list of the top 10 professions that will be in high demand in 2007. This year, we followed in the footsteps of the creative and indomitable Fast Company reader. Our readers don't wait for the Department of Labor to tell them what fields are hot -- they start their own trends, and develop their own businesses and jobs. In the spirit of blazing one's own trail, we spoke with trend forecasters to determine which careers will be the most popular in the coming year. Gerald Celente, Publisher of the Trends Journal, along with the team at TrendsResearch.com provided us with details on which industries are growing the fastest. Armed with statistics on industry competitiveness and job availability supplied by Monster.com, this year's list has been compiled with the forward-thinking attitude of the Fast Company reader and the professions listed. Each job listing contains and explanation of the position, why it's hot for 2007, and suggestions for further topical reading from Fast Company articles from the past year. Some positions have a tech focus, some are design based, but they all share common ground: It takes a creative soul with an endless amount of determination and innovation to thrive in these fields. This year, Fast Company salutes its readers who brave the challenge of the "what if" with the list of top professions destined for success in 2007. Experience Designer: These talented individuals work in the retail industry, creating the essence and aura of a store. Experience designers go beyond the look of a place, creating a unique experience in which shoppers can immerse themselves. From cellular boutiques to the American Girl doll store on New York's Fifth Avenue, the shops created by an experience designer are often considered works of art; mini universes unto themselves. Experience designers are involved in every aspect of creation -- from choosing accent colors on walls to slanting the windows in the right direction. The next time you go into a boutique and you feel as if you've just had an "experience" -- you have, and someone went to a lot of trouble to make you feel at home.

Researchers of cancer, Alzheimers, and the developers of prosthetics are the most coveted titles in the healthcare industry. With the aging baby boomer population, the need for cures and treatment plans is both paramount and profitable. Major developments aren’t only taking place in medicine, but also in the way doctors file medical records. Individuals with the know-how and creative juice to mix tech with medicine can expect seven figure salaries in the year ahead. Further Reading: "Top Scalpel," Michael Prospero, April 2006 and "Record Time," Charles Fishman, April 2006. Web Designer: What's new about web designers? We already know they have cool jobs, working as the creative arm behind highly trafficked websites. But Trendsresearch.com reports that the profession is still in its adolescent phase, and for 2007 it's going to be a new era of web design. Monster.com charts a 26 percent growth rate in this field for the past year, which will continue to blossom for the coming year. Further Reading: "Technology: Boom, Bust, and Beyond," Adam Penenberg, March 2006 and "The Jobs of Web 2.0," Angus Loten, September 2006. Security Systems Engineer: Monster.com reports that individuals in the protective services industry can expect a rise in demand and salary for 2007. Advances in Vegas-Casino like security systems and satellite maps are helping to wire the world for defense. Individuals with a head for engineering and computers can easily expect a six-figure salary in this industry. From sonar imaging to keystroke identification, keeping our country and our world safer has never been easier or more profitable. Further Reading: We Got the Beat," Joseph Manez, September 2006. Urban Planners: From the Hong Kong International Airport Residential Tower to suburban "McMansion" sprawl, individuals in residential planning and development can expect a lot of work in the coming year. Urban Planners must meet the demand for real estate that's both decadent and practical. Prefab one-level homes engineered for the aging baby boomer population are changing the face of suburban America, and boosting the demand for urban planners.

Viral Marketers and Media Promoters: Not to be confused with someone in advertising or public relations, a viral marketer knows how to build an audience from nothing with little more than rumor and excitement. Known for such coups as MySpace's Lonelygirl15 and the Blair Witch Project, Viral Marketers begin "contagious" campaigns that spread largely through word of mouth. They now have a foothold in American advertising due largely to the Internet. Further Reading: "Down the Rabbit Hole," Danielle Sacks, November 2006. Talent Agents: As Clint Eastwood would say, "These days, everyone is famous." And as fame and fortune grows for performers and athletes, a new arena opens for their managers, promoters, and general go-to guys. Although these titles may speak for themselves, duties for those fortunate enough to get close to the stars often include things like latte retrieval and limo reservations. Yet, next to the celebrities themselves, these positions are some of the most competitive in the entertainment industry. Further Reading: "Nothing But Net," Noah Shachtman, June 2006. Buyers and purchasing agents: Trend forecasters predict that 2007 could be a make-or-break year for the retail industry, specifically the department store. Much of the department store's fate, says Gerald Celente, publisher of the Trends Journal, lies in the hands of the buyers and purchasing agents. These individuals are in charge of store inventory and make decisions on item color, size, quantity, and country of origin. With the recent vicissitudes of the retail industry, these jobs are often hard to come by and can be very lucrative if store profitability increases. Further Reading: "The Gucci Killer," Linda Tischler, January/February 2006. Art Directors: From Broadway to movie sets, any job that involves paint, lights, cameras, and action is in demand, especially within the 20-30 demographic. Now perceived as the ultimate career for inspired artists with an affinity for pop culture, art directors, set directors, and stage production directors clamor for the top positions that call for hands-on creative genius with a couture designer's eye. Further Reading: "Telly Visionary," Linda Tischler, November 2006. News Analysts, Reporters, and Bloggers: The Internet has created a new realm for reporters and writers, who previously only saw their names and ideas in print. Now, publications with an online division often hire three levels of correspondents: Print news writers, online news writers, and bloggers. Although most personal blogs aren't profitable enough to stand alone as businesses, writers can use their increasing popularity as another gateway for their voices to be heard.
