If Dunn cant make the transition to 1st then he should be traded, freal to left and Dunn to first would be great. Dunn honestly needs to go to the AL and Become a DH. Freal probably shouldn't be starting, but is a great off the bench type player.

CVG: Delta and Comair news
Comair, attendants still feuding By Greg Paeth, Post staff reporter Comair and its flight attendants union turned up the volume in their long and bitter battle of words Friday when the Erlanger-based regional carrier accused the union of refusing to sit down and negotiate important contract issues. "At this critical juncture - with the fate (of) our airline and jobs hanging in the balance - the company believes we should return to the table to make meaningful progress toward getting an agreement," Comair's Joel Kuplack said in a memo to flight attendants. Connie Slayback, president of Teamsters Local 513, vigorously disagreed. "This is just so not true. I wish they would quit playing games," she said. "They want to make it appear as if we're unwilling to talk." The stalemate comes at a time when Comair and its parent company, Delta Air Lines, are waist-deep in legal paperwork in New York, where they have filed for federal bankruptcy protection from creditors.

Cincinnati: Downtown - The McAlpin
Yes Cincinnati used to be referred to as 'The Paris of the West'. This was for its great shopping and theatres. The shopping in Cincinnati was second to none in the US and had a brilliant collection of theatres. Having the largest collection of Italianate architecture in the US helped also

"He says one frustration is a lack of Hamilton County jail space. Of the 46 people arrested Monday night, only eight remained in jail Tuesday evening." That sucks :x

Most Educated Big City In Ohio: Cincinnati
I could be wrong but about the only thing i can think that would cost more would be private schooling if you so decided to send your kids to private schools, housing could be about the same if not cheaper depending on what neighborhood you wanted to live in. granted your not going to have your 1/2 acre plot of land in the city, but that's less yard work to do! You might not have that giant mcmansion, but that's less house to heat!

Illegal Immigration, Affirmative Action, Welfare, and other Neo-Redneck Rants
The US has been their done that with immigration and it hasn't been such a problem, I do think we need better security at the boarder but most of this crazy talk about losing jobs is just hog wash. http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/riseind/chinimms/chinimms.html After the Civil War, immigrants again began to stream to the United States. Between 1870 and 1900, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived--more foreign-born people than had come to the country in the preceding 70 years. During the 1870s and 1880s, the majority came from Germany, Ireland, and England--the principal source of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration. While the majority of immigrants came to settle in the United States permanently, many worked for a time and returned home with whatever savings they had set aside from their work. The majority of Chinese immigrants, for example, were single men who worked for a while and returned home. At first, they were attracted to North America by the gold rush in California. Many prospected for gold on their own or labored for other miners. Soon, many opened their own businesses such as restaurants, laundries, and other personal service concerns. After the gold rush, Chinese immigrants worked as agricultural laborers, on railroad construction crews throughout the West, and in low-paying industrial jobs. With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, other immigrants and European Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. As the following documents suggest, there were many opinions about this issue. 12 million back than is certainly a greater % then the 11 or so million they are talking about now, this whole issue just seams like a distraction from the horrible job the republican administration that controle all 3 branches of government is doing. IMHO

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is more cost effective living in the city or 30 miles out when gas is 3$ a gallon. I bet cincy is benefiting from all the top business's downtown

58 arrested in Over-the-Rhine slam Charges range from drug offenses to littering BY WILLIAM A. WEATHERS | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER OVER-THE RHINE - The first day of a Cincinnati police crackdown on criminal activity resulted in 58 arrests, including more than a dozen people charged with drug offenses. Charges for those arrested by police Monday ranged from littering, open container violations and loud music to drug trafficking and possession of crack cocaine. Officers also seized 128.5 grams of marijuana, 7.26 grams of crack cocaine and 3.9 grams of heroin. "Our goal is to make it a safe environment for people who live in and visit Over-the-Rhine," police spokesman Lt. Kurt Byrd said Tuesday. Monday was the first day of a targeted effort by Cincinnati police to combat crime and violence in Over-the-Rhine. The neighborhood has been the site of three homicides since April 3, and police say most of the violence occurring in the neighborhood is related to the drug trade. Also on Monday, Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. announced plans to have sheriff's deputies begin patrolling the neighborhood within a few months. The 58 arrests by the Over-the-Rhine Task Force included three adult felony arrests, 39 adult misdemeanor arrests, three juvenile felony arrests, one juvenile misdemeanor arrests and 13 vice arrests. "I think it shows a phenomenal work effort on the part of the officers assigned to the task force," Byrd said. Meanwhile, Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory said Tuesday that he plans to meet with Police Chief Tom Streicher and Sheriff Simon Leis to discuss the sheriff's patrols in Over-the-Rhine. "We have to have a conversation about that," the mayor said. "There are issues of coordination and command structure to be discussed. The chief, sheriff and I need to have a discussion to see if and how this will work. We're not looking for a showdown, but we need to discuss those issues." Mallory said it's important to know to whom officers - whether police or sheriff's deputies - will report, whether the sheriff will respond to 911 calls and whether they will be held to rules of the collaborative agreement negotiated with the federal government. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060412/NEWS01/604120358/-1/CINCI

I don't care how good the computers are i want someone in the cockpit that has the skills and knows how to fly in any situation. If someone was smart enough at delta to lock in oil futures contracts 4-5 years ago like they did at southwest they would have made a killing over the last couple of years.
