  1. Cleveland ready to rock again with HD2 alt rock "99X" Cleveland has been down one rock station since CBS Radio flipped WKRK-FM to all-sports "92.3 The Fan" last Summer. Now alt-rock reemerges in the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the launch of “99X, Cleveland’s New Rock Alternative,” via HD Radio and a translator. The station is also on Clear Channel’s iHeartRadio. http://www.radio-info.com/news/cleveland-ready-to-rock-again-with-hd2-alt-rock-99x http://wmms-hd.clearchannel.com/pages/99x.html
  2. There have been many issues regarding the closing of the non-buffet food places so early. The eateries have had to resort to having security in place because people want food after the doors have been closed.

    Census Bureau Releases Estimates of Undercount and Overcount in the 2010 Census The U.S. Census Bureau released today results from its post-enumeration survey, providing a measure of the accuracy of the 2010 Census. The results found that the 2010 Census had a net overcount of 0.01 percent, meaning about 36,000 people were overcounted in the census. This sample-based result, however, was not statistically different from zero. The post-enumeration survey, called “Census Coverage Measurement,” measures the coverage of the nation’s household population (excluding the 8.0 million people in “group quarters,” such as nursing homes or college dorms). It surveys a sample of the 300.7 million people living in housing units and then matches the responses to the census, resulting in estimates of error. The 2000 Census had an estimated net overcount of 0.49 percent and the 1990 Census had a net undercount of 1.61 percent. “On this one evaluation — the net undercount of the total population — this was an outstanding census,” Census Bureau Director Robert Groves said. “When this fact is added to prior positive evaluations, the American public can be proud of the 2010 Census their participation made possible.” Components of Coverage The Census Bureau also released estimates of the components of coverage: the number of correct census records, erroneous enumerations and omissions. The Census Bureau estimates that among the 300.7 million people who live in housing units, about 94.7 percent were counted correctly, about 3.3 percent were counted erroneously, 1.6 percent provided only a census count and had their demographic characteristics imputed, or statistically inserted, and 0.4 percent needed more extensive imputation after all census follow-up efforts were attempted. Among those erroneously counted, about 84.9 percent were duplicates, while the remainder were incorrectly counted for another reason, such as people who died before Census Day (April 1, 2010), who were born after Census Day or were fictitious census records. The Census Bureau estimated 16.0 million omissions in the census. Omissions include people missed in the census and people whose census records could not be verified in the post-enumeration survey because they did not answer enough of the demographic characteristic questions in the census. Of the 16.0 million omissions, about 6.0 million were likely counted in the census but couldn’t be verified in the post-enumeration survey. Variation by Characteristics As with previous censuses, the coverage of the population varied across demographic characteristics. The 2010 Census undercounted renters by 1.1 percent, showing no significant change compared with 2000. Homeowners were overcounted in both the 2000 and 2010 censuses. However, the 2010 Census reduced the net overcount for homeowners from 1.2 percent to 0.6 percent. Renters were more likely to be duplicated than owners and twice as likely to have all of their characteristics imputed. As with prior censuses, coverage varied by race and Hispanic origin. The 2010 Census overcounted the non-Hispanic white alone population by 0.8 percent, not statistically different from an overcount of 1.1 percent in 2000. The 2010 Census undercounted 2.1 percent of the black population, which was not statistically different from a 1.8 percent undercount in 2000. In 2010, 1.5 percent of the Hispanic population was undercounted. In 2000, the estimated undercount of 0.7 percent was not statistically different from zero. The difference between the two censuses was also not statistically significant. The Census Bureau did not measure a statistically significant undercount for the Asian or for the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander populations in 2010 (at 0.1 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively). These estimates were also not statistically different from the results measured in 2000 (a 0.8 percent overcount and a 2.1 percent undercount, respectively). Coverage of the American Indian and Alaska Native population varied by geography. American Indians and Alaska Natives living on reservations were undercounted by 4.9 percent, compared with a 0.9 percent overcount in 2000. The net error for American Indians not living on reservations was not statistically different from zero in 2010 or 2000. Men 18 to 29 and 30 to 49 were undercounted in 2010, while women 30 to 49 were overcounted, a pattern consistent with 2000. The estimated overcount of women 18 to 29 was not statistically significant. “While the overall coverage of the census was exemplary, the traditional hard-to-count groups, like renters, were counted less well,” Groves said. “Because ethnic and racial minorities disproportionately live in hard-to-count circumstances, they too were undercounted relative to the majority population.” Other Findings The post-enumeration survey did not measure a statistically significant undercount or overcount in the population or housing units for any state. The survey did not measure a statistically significant undercount or overcount for the population in any counties or places of 100,000 or more. The 2010 Census undercounted housing units, mostly because of an undercount of vacant units. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant undercount or overcount of occupied housing units. As a whole, erroneous enumerations and imputations were lower among people who mailed back a census form, compared with those counted by a door-to-door census taker. Additionally, responses mailed back earlier in the process were generally less likely to have erroneous enumerations than those mailed later. Among people counted door-to-door by a census taker, responses from a household member were more accurate than those from proxies, such as neighbors or landlords who provided information when a householder could not be reached or refused to participate in the census. “We’ll use these coverage estimates to build a better 2020 Census,” Groves said. “The 2010 Census used a variety of operations to improve coverage of the population. We now have measures of their success, which will inform cost-quality tradeoff decisions for the 2020 Census.” The post-enumeration survey is one of three types of indicators that measure the quality of a census. The others consist of process indicators, which measure the quality of census operations and data collection, and comparisons to other methods of estimating population size. Each type of quality indicator has its own strengths and weaknesses as a measurement tool. For example, the estimates from the post-enumeration survey have sampling error and are susceptible to violations of the underlying statistical assumptions.

  6. Here's how it looked in 2006:
  7. The Urban College building (and possibly the business building - not sure on that one) was not designed for the CSU campus. It was literally an off-the-shelf plan originally designed for some suburban insurance company in another state. I kid you not.
  8. ^He's been posting all sorts of pictures on Instagram for the past 2 weeks of the place and food
  9. The wifey (server at Lola) confirms Symons tweet. It will be a good payday in the musky household next week
  10. Cleveland International Film Festival announces dates for 2013 and adds a full day of films Next year's Cleveland International Film Festival is guaranteed to be bigger. For its 37th rendition, the festival will add a full day of films. "We keep growing but we can't add any more theaters," said the festival's executive director Marcie Goodman on Monday. "We're already using all of the theaters at Tower City. The only thing we can add is time." Next year's festival will run 12 days instead of the usual 11 and will open on a Wednesday night instead of the traditional Thursday. It will also take place entirely in April for the first time since 1994, running April 3 – 14. http://www.cleveland.com/moviebuff/index.ssf/2012/05/cleveland_international_film_f_36.html
  11. Here is the the site selection study I did for the Politician: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9SRzBl8blmCOGI2Zjc1OGUtNzI4NS00ZDIxLTllZjgtMjhlNTdmZWNhMGQx I think my Levin Conceptual study may not be digitized at the moment. I'll look around for it though

    @CBC Awesome!
  13. ^My plan wasn't to get rid of it at all. Most of the space i proposed was underground... actually, all of it was now that I think of it.
  14. Ok then...... We are at 3005 posts on this thread. Perhaps its time to move this to complete? Yes.... no? Is Phase I still considered to be under construction? Just trying to keep it fair with all the other selective "editing" that occurs when things go astray (unlike in real world conversation). >:D
  15. Ha, thank you! Seriously. Now to find a worthwhile use for the dumb lawn next to Levin. Yeah, it took some convincing, but the current location is the best place for it. The donors originally wanted it on Euclid - even the Levin front lawn. I have the study I made still. Maybe I'll dig it up for you all to look at. I also made a draft conceptual plan for expanding Levin (per a request from Dr. Kellogg) under and on said front lawn with a design focused program (a la Kent's UDC). But Kent with moving into a different space and Levin (and CSU) was losing a lot of state funding. So that went nowhere but on somebodies shelf. It was a cool design, if I should say so myself. I miss working there.
  16. ^You are welcome for that, by the way.
  17. ^ I don't know how many "x's" will be need for Euclid Square Mall; however, there are now 30 churches in there
  18. Love that first shot. You MUST have taken more pics of other buildings while there, no?
  19. Very nice. And I have been a big fan of tilt shift filters for years. I sure hope, in this digital picture taking craze everyone is part of, it doesn't get overused..... please???
  20. Its just one of those things that need to change. Same thing goes for minimum parking requirements. We should be mandating maximum parking requirements; that is, no more than x amount of spaces per sq ft of blah blah blah, instead of no less than.
  21. I agree. And I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed. But it is easier to get a variance from the Planning Commission than it is to get a zoning change, which would require (in CLE) positive referral from the BZA, then Planning Comminssion, and then go through three readings at council (don't forget - summer recess is coming up) before being approved. The question stands - why do they keep postponing it. Is the Councilman against it, or not willing to work with them? I cannot imagine Brancatelli being like that, but who knows.
  22. That's what variances are for. They new business needs to clearly articulate why the code as stated detrimental. Should be easy enough. Wonder why they keep postponing

    You had to explain or demonstrate?! You and your wife should read this together: "Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism" http://www.amazon.com/Screw-Roses-Send-Thorns-Sadomasochism/dp/0964596008 It's actually a really good read
  24. Yep. And I've been keeping a watch on when/where, while on the shoreway, the building first pops. I'm gonna say East 55th Street, right at that curve.

    You are such a follower I'll stick with Anaïs Nin Recently finished The Historian. Awesome piece of historical fiction. Took me a while to read it because I had to keep going to other sources in order to fully grasp the history that was being referenced (I was a major slacker in school) Now I am reading No Country for Old Men. I took me a bit to get used to his writing style and lack of punctuation (hello Twain), but I am enjoying it.
