This might be a dumb question, but in the case of underground parking buy the river, how do they stop flooding?

Saudi official: 82% of crude is untapped http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2006/09/14/saudi_official_82_of_crude_is_untapped/ By Associated Press | September 14, 2006 VIENNA -- The world has tapped only 18 percent of the total global supply of crude, a leading Saudi oil executive said yesterday, challenging the notion that supplies are petering out. Abdallah S. Jum'ah, president and chief executive of the state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Co., known better as Aramco, said the world has the potential of 4.5 trillion barrels in reserves -- enough to power the globe at current levels of consumption for another 140 years. snip.. ``The world has only consumed about 18 percent of its conventional potential," Jum'ah said, contending that should lay to rest fears that the world is in danger of being tapped out within a few decades. Many experts estimate that the planet's recoverable oil resource is at least 3 trillion barrels and potentially more than 4 trillion barrels. If global consumption rises about 2 percent a year from today's levels of about 85 million barrels a day, they say, the low end of that range would only be enough to last until roughly 2070. Rex W. Tillerson, chairman of Exxon Mobil Corp., said world demand for oil will increase by 50 percent in the next decade. ``When nations threaten to stop this flow, it stops economic progress worldwide," Tillerson said.

That would certainly be the response of a drug, er, oil addict! A picture is worth a thousand words

Chevron: More oil Gulf of Mexico http://edition.cnn.com/2006/BUSINESS/09/05/chevron.reut/index.html NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Chevron Corp said on Tuesday it had successfully drilled for oil in the Gulf of Mexico's deep waters and analysts said the find suggested there may be more oil in the region that provides a quarter of U.S. output. During the test at record depths and pressure, the Jack No. 2 well flowed at more than 6,000 barrels of crude per day, Chevron said. That puts it on a par with discoveries in exploration hotspots such as the waters off Angola. With U.S. oil output in decline, big new fields are increasingly rare and oil companies are widening their search to more difficult places. Chevron, the second largest U.S. oil company, did not give an estimate of the field's reserves.

peete st? or hastings?

Mulberry?

This is what i was referring to. this nine block area is if i recall correctly, The fareless square so people park outside of that and then can ride the street cars for free. I think this Free area is also what help spark allot of development, because you could truly live with out the cost of a car.

Hughes high school auditorium ??

I have been to portland and the public transprotation is great, but you also should include the fact that you are not allowed to park in the city, so most people park outside the city and ride public transportation to get to the needed destination.

RV this makes some sense since she disgraces Ohio every day in DC

didnt woodstock have like 500,000 people?? I guess im not that old maybe we should ask RV, he is so right wing and old he might be able to tell us what woodstock was like and maybe he can even put a kkkaral rove spin on it.

^Foreshadowing :? I need my tinfoilhat

OMG thats fantastic :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :banger: I want that first one for a poster

good way to shape the discusion, I guess we are making the same point and maybee I'm being hard on you a bit. I know SP is no main street, but look at what the trouble misappropriation of poilice force's is causing in the city. Its making your business life tough on both fronts the for profit and not for profit. maybe i need to refocus my anger a bit.

The Desdemona Festival needs your help. If you went to Desdemona, you know what a special event it really was. Not just because of the amazing music (thought that certainly didn't hurt), but because of the sense of community that existed throughout the weekend. I had person after person tell me it was the best time they'd ever had in Cincinnati. But... Fact of the matter is, we lost more than we could sustain losing financially. We could blame it on any number of things, but I don't know that it makes much difference. The reality is that we have bills that absolutely, positively must be paid, and soon. The longer these debts go unpaid, the harder it gets to even think about doing year two. I've been working for over a month to find some way to cover these losses without coming to you. Unfortunately, time is running out and the situation is pretty dire. So, I'm coming to you, asking for your help to save The Desdemona Festival. I'm officially asking for contributions to the cause. Desdemona was, and is, a non-profit volunteer driven effort. Not only that, but it COST us a fortune to put on. It was a gift to the community and an enormous risk. Sadly, in the first year, their were some lessons to be learned. I'll be the first to admit some rookie mistakes were made. I hope all of you understand that I would never ask this unless every other option had been tried. Believe me, I've probably waited too long to ask-- there are artists out there who very much need to be paid for their performances, and every day it becomes more pressing. We are trying to raise $8,000 to cover the totality of outstanding debts from the Desdemona Festival. ANY amount helps, any ideas are welcome. I'm working on setting up a paypal system (don't hold your breath-- having issues there), but in the meantime, please message me or email me at [email protected] if there is some way that you can help. Maybe someone out there is independently wealthy and can save us. But odds are it will come from a larger number of small donors, helping to do something good for indie rock and Cincinnati. Personally: Thanks. You know I love of all of ya... anyone who knows me can tell you I've had something of a black cloud hanging over my head since the fest ended. Its been the hardest summer of my life. But you all have carried me through it. You're the best. Yesterday, 02:49 PM nwspencer Member Join Date: Mar 2003 Posts: 132 Wow... First off, I guess the biggest difference here is that Delta is a for-profit corporation. Desdemona is a non-profit. If it had made an 8k profit, it would have had to be put back into the next year's event. I collected ZERO salary or commission from the fest, obviously, and my own contribution to it was pretty substantial. It was an entirely volunteer effort, contributions to it are tax-deductible, its recognized by the IRS, etc. Think of it like an arts organization, because that's basically what it is. When you go see a Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival performance, you pay for a ticket. But they also ask for contributions from donors to remain solvent. Since well before the event, I have been really clear about what kind of undertaking Des is. I know most people have a hard time with that because most concerts are put on by for-profit entities. People just have a different mind-set about this stuff. I get it. As for alchemize, I treat them very, very much as church and state-- one is a non-profit, the other is a for-profit company. alchemize has had its own struggles, obviously, hence the move. However-- I have not personally put a penny towards the move. For those who read the Enquirer story last week, you know I have a partner in the deal on the new space. I also want to make sure folks know that the overwhelming majority of Desdemona artist have been paid, and paid in full. We have a couple of outstanding partial payments, which is what we're working to address. I certainly understand these questions, and want to do everything I can to address them. The support that's come in from email and MySpace has been overwhelming, and I'm hoping to have some good news to report on this front very soon. The passion and generousity this community shows is flat out overwhelming to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by nwspencer : Yesterday at 03:12 PM.

But not only does every event that takes place at Sawyer Point have to be non-profit, but THEY have to approve your ticket prices. Sawyer has only three gated events in a year: us, Tall Stacks, and Blues Fest. Those other two get financial support from the city, in big amounts. They absolutely would not go for a higher price than Tall Stacks charges, never mind that Tall Stacks gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from the city. So we barely got ticket prices approved at $12 a day. I would've had no problem charging 15 a day and 30 for the weekend.That is still a great deal. But they weren't up for it. Then, the city came in, less than a month before the event, and assigned a huge number of officers to it. For the record, we had no arrests, complaints, fights, or incidents. I had studied other events at Sawyer and their budgets, and our city charges were way higher than I could have anticipated-- higher than any other event like ours, that's for sure. That difference created a budget gap, and its why we pushed so hard to get the city to not charge us. They don't charge any of the other Point events, but it happened to us, nonetheless. So if anyone wonders how the budget ended up slightly off, well, that's my read on it. A lot of first-year stuff that couldn't have been predicted. Like I said, the appropriate way to view Desdemona is as an arts event. You pay a ticket, but in reality, that's only part of what makes it possible. Donors, sponsors, the city, etc., make up the difference. So nick complains that the city wont do anything to help get rid of crime around main street to help his bar, but when the city does put forth and effort to make sure an event downtown is protected fully bye the police, nick again complains about the cost, then goes on a message board asking for donations to help get him out of debt.

Why Wal-Mart wants to sell ethanol http://money.cnn.com/2006/08/08/news/companies/pluggedin_gunther.fortune/index.htm By Marc Gunther, Fortune senior writer August 9 2006: 11:54 AM EDT NEW YORK (Fortune) -- More than 5 million vehicles on U.S. roads today can run on ethanol - a renewable fuel that comes from corn - as well as gasoline. General Motors (Charts), Ford (Charts) and DaimlerChrysler (Charts) recently announced plans to double their annual production of so-called flex fuel vehicles to two million cars and trucks by 2010. It's the single largest commitment to renewable fuels in the history of the auto industry - a good move for the automakers, and for the planet, too. More at link above:

UC adds to '07 class Houston high school player compares to former Bearcat Williams BY BILL KOCH | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER The University of Cincinnati's newest basketball recruit is a "hip-hop version of Field Williams." That's how Jim Hicks of the RCS Sports scouting service in Houston described Larry Davis, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Houston's Hastings High School, who orally committed to UC on Tuesday. He's the second member of UC head coach Mick Cronin's 2007 recruiting class, joining forward Mike Williams, a transfer from Texas, who will be at UC this season but must sit out until 2007-08 under NCAA rules for transfers. Davis, who's expected to sign in November, averaged 14 points, six rebounds and 4.5 steals as a junior at Hastings, which is expected to be one of the top-ranked teams in Texas this season. He shot 42 percent from 3-point range. More at http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060809/SPT0101/608090354/-1/CINCI

Maybe they should be worried more about the players and less about the fans Steinbach the fifth Bengal to be arrested this year NEWPORT, Ky. -- Bengals guard Eric Steinbach was arrested and charged with boating under the influence on the Ohio River, becoming the fifth Cincinnati player in three months accused of breaking the law. A Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources officer stopped Steinbach because he was violating an idle-only zone Saturday night, agency spokesman Mark Marraccini said. Steinbach failed a series of field sobriety tests, Marraccini said. The player was released from the Campbell County jail in Newport after posting bond and was to appear in court Tuesday, jail and court records show.
