Nothing like taking from the Ivies... http://blog.case.edu/case-news/2008/01/04/walterboron

Is there any free way to bump up Urbanohio within search results without actually typing in "urbanohio." I'm asking mostly in regards to searches directly involving the cities: Cleveland, Cincy, Columbus, Dayton, etc. To quote myself in the Cleveland Relocation Guide thread:

For Downtown spots, I'd recommend: http://perrypayneapts.com/ http://www.east4thstreet.com/ (although I hear they may be at capacity??)

Man, too bad we don't use "slave labor" anymore for the stuff like this. With all the tax money we spend on prisons and jails these days, it makes you think we could utilize the funds better to do modern day maintainence (i.e. new paint jobs, roofs, landscaping, etc.) or even constrution. Cool tower and great pictures.

A documentary entitled "Winning Lives: The Story of Ted Ginn Sr," will be recast on ONN tonight and tomorrow evening. For whatever reason, the ONN website and the Plain Dealer seem to have conflicting time listings. It's either 7 or 7:30 tonight for sure. Here are the links: VIDEO: http://blog.cleveland.com/tlr/2008/01/watch_a_clip_of_the_ted_ginn_s.html NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: http://www.cleveland.com/hsfootball/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/1199525741285720.xml&coll=2

How about across the street from Reserve Square along Superior (between 12th and 13th). I believe at least one storefront is vacant and the rest highly under-utilized. There is at least one that is state-run office that gets a steady flow of people. Not to mention, the Avenue District is being built up around it.

Cleveland on the cover of a renowned science magazine. If anyone has time to search for the actual magazine article, it would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: nevermind, found it pretty quick. The article is...........a "little" dry and sciencey for anyone not an expert in nanotechnology. But if you're curious, here's the link to the cover story: http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v2/n12/full/nnano.2007.379.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=3905.php

Interesting news from Canada: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ferry proposals gathering steam http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2008/01/03/pf-4750413.html Three plans are being floated for links across Lake Erie to Ohio or Pennsylvania. By CHIP MARTIN, SUN MEDIA Talk of a ferry crossing for Lake Erie is heating up. And the talk is about three proposals to link Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ontario ports. The three proponents will present their cases to port authority officials at a meeting east of Cleveland next week as the officials consider which is worth pursuing from the American side of the lake.

Why does urbanohio not come up when "Cleveland relocation guide," "...relocation help," "..relocation advice" or anything to that effect is typed into Google or Yahoo? I feel like we may be missing a lot of people, not to mention those who are getting bad or misinformed advice instead, etc. So, What could be done for UO to actually be in the search results??

Here's my hidden agenda when I become the new County Commissioner:

I've also read/been told a lot of criticism with the salt water bit as well. You don't think there will be a cheaper way to produce the radio waves some day? "The salt functions as an electrolyte; without it, the process would take place very slowly." I don't what you mean here, he does use salt water. Maybe something else could be added as another sort of catalyst? Either way, you're saying it woud be cheaper, easier, and more efficient to just run the car off of the battery itself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not that these have anything to do with what you said, but two of my favorite "science" quotes: "In the school I went to, they asked a kid to prove the law of gravity and he threw the teacher out of the window." Rodney Dangerfield "The atomic bomb will never go off, and I speak as an expert in explosives." Admiral William Leahy, on US Atomic Bomb Project, to President Truman in 1945

EDIT: don't let any oil companies buy your patent!! ...maybe the City of Cleveland can buy it ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIDEO: http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?aid=35660&sid=68227&bw= Water into fuel?

Whoever posted the great description about St. Stanislaus that went to that Polish mass, could post it again?? .....Was it Eparabola?

Wow, nice little town!

I suppose I meant more for nightime walks after work. They need to fix the damn lighting as well (which I think is being down right now with the new ECP street lights??)

Hmm didn't realize this one. Cleveland leadership being innovative...leaders of our time. :-D ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=123&aid=134786 Poynter online Rick Edmonds THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2007 Local-Local Front Pages Come to Cleveland A tipster told me the Cleveland Plain Dealer has gone all-local on its front page. Check out a week's worth of front page layouts posted on Cleveland.com -- and it is pretty much true. [http://www.cleveland.com/frontpage/] The only national display story in the last 10 days was the Mitchell report on steroids in baseball. Editor Susan Goldberg said in a phone interview that the new policy was not formally announced -- the paper simply did it. National and international stories are regularly teased on a left-hand page one news rail, "but we wanted to get away from putting commodity news that everyone knows already out front." The policy is a logical extension of the thought, "hardly an original," Goldberg said, that people can get up-to-the-minute national and international news many places on the Internet so the core remaining news franchise for a regional paper is local. But don't loyal print edition readers still expect a ration of national and international news on the front page? "I do hear that from some folks," Goldberg said. "Frankly it is partly generational." Late-breaking or extremely important national and international stories can still earn a spot on the front, she said. The local-local movement has steam and even papers like the Boston Globe run many more local stories out front than they used to. But to my knowledge, only the mid-sized East Valley Tribune in the Phoenix suburbs has taken a version of the Cleveland plunge. Typically, these kinds of bold moves (think dropping the stock tables a few years ago) catch on if the pioneers are successful. I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of metros trying the all-local front in 2008. Posted at 7:37:21 AM

Great news for Cleveland's largest revenue earner. Thanks Tel Aviv for the news! ------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/eaton-corp-plans-2-deals/story.aspx?guid=%7B4401307B-C805-49E3-BE81-4A3D30565B50%7D Eaton Corp. plans 2 deals valued at as much as $2.8 bln By Robert Daniel Last update: 3:47 a.m. EST Dec. 20, 2007 TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) - Eaton Corp., (ETN 89.42, +0.31, +0.4%) the Cleveland manufacturer of industrial equipment, announced on Thursday two acquisitions -- one in Europe and one in Asia -- valued at as much as $2.8 billion. The deals will add about $2 billion of annual sales, boosting its electrical business's annual sales to more than $7.5 billion, the company said in a statement. The bigger one is Moeller Group, a Bonn, Germany, supplier of parts for commercial and residential building applications, for which Eaton has agreed to pay 1.55 billion euros, about $2.23 billion. Employing 8,700 people, Moeller estimates 2007 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $245 million on sales of $1.47 billion. Subject to regulatory clearances and other conditions, Eaton hopes to close the deal in the first quarter. Eaton also said it would offer to buy all shares of Phoenixtec Power Co., a Taipei producer of uninterruptible power-supply systems. Eaton's offering T$50 (US$1.54) a share for Phoenixtec; a purchase of all the shares would be valued at US$565 million. Eaton said it has commitments from holders of 25% of Phoenixtec to tender their shares to the offer. Phoenixtec, which employs 5,800, estimates Ebitda for 2007 at US$52 million on sales of US$595 million. Closing conditions include a minimum of 51% of the Taiwan company's shares must be tendered to the offer.

http://blog.case.edu/case-news/2007/12/18/glieigrant Case Western Reserve University receives $3.6 million to support startup of Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation December 18, 2007 Case Western Reserve University's new Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation received a large boost on Tuesday, December 18, with the awarding of a $3.6 million grant from the Cleveland Foundation. Based at the Case School of Engineering and building on the university’s strengths in fuel cell research and materials science, the new institute will generate and implement achievable solutions today to build and sustain tomorrow’s industries through development of innovative energy technology platforms and farsighted energy research and energy-use strategies. Three major areas of research are envisioned: renewable power, energy storage and efficiency of larger energy systems. The goal of the institute is aimed at developing economically viable, reliable and sustainable energy resources for all. “The greatest challenges and opportunities for engineers and scientists of the 21st century likely will focus on the generation, transportation, utilization and storage of energy,” said Norman C. Tien, dean of the Case School of Engineering and driving force behind the Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation. "With this startup funding from the Cleveland Foundation, the Case School of Engineering is well-positioned to advance energy innovation in Ohio. We will be augmenting the engineering faculty with this funding by hiring mid-level, well-established players who will have an immediate impact on the school and on our energy initiatives." The Cleveland Foundation funds will support recruitment of new faculty for the institute. In addition, faculty and researchers at the institute will also develop outreach programs in science, technology, engineering and math for Cleveland-area primary and secondary students and teachers. "I am grateful to the Cleveland Foundation for its generous support of the university's and Ohio's efforts to be at the forefront of next-generation energy production," said Barbara R. Snyder, president of Case Western Reserve. "The university's extensive partnerships with corporate, academic, philanthropic and governmental institutions enhance all of our energy innovation activities. These strategic partnerships are essential to our success as one of the largest private research universities in the region and integral to positioning Ohio as a national leader in meeting the energy challenges of our day and well into the future." The institute is already leading the Great Lakes Wind Energy Research Center, a resource for government and industry to innovate, test and deploy new alternative energy technologies that efficiently and durably harness wind power. In August 2007 Case Western Reserve committed $200,000 to the Board of Commissioners of Cuyahoga County (BOCC) and the county's Great Lakes Energy Development Task Force to partially sponsor a study that would determine the feasibility of developing a wind energy research center on Lake Erie. Currently, Case Western Reserve is working closely with the task force, chaired by Cuyahoga County prosecutor Bill Mason, and with other universities, government laboratories and industry, to conduct the study. If the study determines it to be feasible, the Great Lakes Wind Energy Research Center -- co-managed by the university -- would be comprised of two components: an approximately 20-megawatt wind turbine project located in Lake Erie 3-6 miles from downtown Cleveland, and an affiliated research center to facilitate industry testing of next-generation utility-scale wind technologies.

Specific to your listed possibilites: 1) Staler Arms -beautiful old buildinds, mixed response due to construction, lack of activity btw E.9th and E.12, far walk from public square after a while *although there are currently free trolleys down Euclid Ave.) 2) Bingham -- generally positive responses, closer walk, more downtown nightlife and establishments 3) Reserve Square -- Personally lived there for a while, newly renovated, large grocery store, HUGE and mix of people. One downfall is that it seems far away from W.6th and public square...especially after a while (one block from playhouse square though!) 4) Perry Payne -- seem to be a tighter group of people, closest walk from work, House of Cues downstairs!, in the entertainment district Good luck tomorrow

only one way to find out: Cuyahoga county 1,393,978 people/147 murders = 9483 citzens per murder. and wow, LA county is frikin huge! 4,061 square miles -- that's 4 times the land of Cuyahoga County

^wow! Great pic!

My grandpa had a music store on 105th and Euclid from 1950-1973 -- Costello's Music. He tried to hold out, but the the last 5 years he wasn't makng much of a profit/had losses, and finally has to sell for the sake of the family. The poor man who bought it from him was robbed 3 times in the first month and closed that same year. As you can see from above, it was knocked down about 1975. Very sad to lose this great intersection so quickly. For the betterment to pave the way for the Cleveland clinic expansion in all retrospect?? I sure hope so.

I was in Slavic Village for the first time tonight (besides when I was young), and it really was a sad and mysterious place in the same way. Although I only saw it at nighttime for a holiday concert, these were my impressions: 1) So much history still remains -- there really is a lot to see, (We got a little lost and we pretty much gave ourselves the self-guided tour of much of the area) 2) St. Stanislaus is a GEM. It honestly takes your breath away when you walk in, but I did get to see it by candle light at nighttime. 3) The prayer books are still half Polish, and mass is said in Polish once a week. How much a populace do they still have to support this? 4) That funeral home must have been rebuilt. There's an ad in the church bulletin for 3675 E. 65th st (from the pope's pictures below). 5) E.55 and Broadway is a neat intersection with old (quasay abandoned) buildings. 6) Cleveland Central Catholic has a gorgeous 3-story brick addition (sorry, no pictures) 7) There is so much evidence of the neighborhood trying to stay alive. A majority of the foreclosed homes had their boards artistically painted with flowers, christmas lights and decorations, etc. Bottom line...there is still so much to save there. I really wish some more of the "suburban" Polish decendants would rally up some support to save the remaining heritage before it slips anymore. There were many Polish-Americans (suburbanites??) at the holiday concert who had never even seen the Cathedral before tonight, but they were talking about returning to show some of their other relatives. Cool experience all the way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ the pope's picture links: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=386.0 Slavic Village in national news: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=14232.0
