Safety concerns keep Paris tourists away There is a joke on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, that goes: There are two types of Chinese in Paris - those who have been robbed and those who will be. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2013-03/13/content_16303694.htm

I only listen to him in short bursts, but it doesn't take much for him to start harping on some purported lack of parking downtown. And he's being dead serious, believe it or not

A lot of very angry, disgruntled 40 and 50-somethings. And some people like me ;) when I can't take any more of the pity party over at the Hooligans. Believe it or not, Triv's show is actually a little bit of a reprieve after you listen to Bruce piss and moan for a few minutes.

He constantly complains that there is no place to park downtown. That's all you need to know about his views on downtown. He would prefer a texas style stadium in the middle of nowhere, right off the interstate, with a sea of parking surrounding it on each side. It's good to hear that he mentioned something tangentially related to sports. He hasn't done much of that the past 5 yrs

And he said what?

Under the same scenario, would the Empire State Building be bigger than the WTC was? I seem to remember that the WTC's roof was higher but the point/spire/antenna on the ESB rose even higher.

^I was under the impression that it would rise to approx 370ft, which would place it 11th.... right between "the M on 9th" and the AT&T bldg. Don't focus so much on the number of floors for comparison because hotel ceiling heights are shorter than their office bldg counterparts. I suppose a final decision on height (and design) will depend on some very important decisions such as whether they will use a slab base and/or what to do about the proposed parking garage.

Atlanta needs a history lesson from the Rust Belt. Sometime over the next few decades, the ATL bubble is going to burst big-time

And with that, Cleveland Scene just sent viral (at least among the exurban crowd who can identify with the 'panziness' of the French minister) some idiotic message which probably would not have caught the attention of more than 5 people.

I'm not suggesting abandoning either or switching to some comprehensive Princeton offense. But it just seems, especially in the last 5 minutes of the game, that if the play call is not a top of the key pick and roll, then all they do is take turns trying to take their man off the dribble. I would like to see more ball movement. Keep the ball moving. If you don't have a open lane or jump-shot, then swing it to someone who does. I also want to see more of the DIon with the ball in his hands late in the game for the specific purpose of the drive-and-kick. I think that is one thing he does much better than Kyrie. If there is a last second shot to take, Kyrie is my guy for sure. But they sink into that all-Kyrie all-the-time mode way too early

Wise choice. I gotz skillz..... FYI - Newsflash wasn't directed to you and I was using Surf's friend's case sarcastically, particularly given the way multiple people reacted negatively (without knowing any details) to even the suggestion of the 'blame the victim' tact in that case

Too much one-on-one on offense. That and the pick'n'roll seem to be our only two 'plays'

Agreed on the time to adjust, but defense has not been the problem so far this season. Our D has been fairly good. It is our shooting which has killed us (no pun intended)

I fail to understand how we abandon Dion when he was the one who got us back in the game. He got 0 touches down the stretch when the game was still in the balance.

That's not news.... dumb folk are rarely aware of their own stupidity

Newsflash - the vast majority of homicides are not random street crimes

Have the police made that determination? We can play the guessing game all we want. You certainly will. But the PD is a media organization. I'd prefer to see responsible journalism from the City's major circular. How would've you written the article? You would've added a paragraph to the effect of "although the police do not have any solid leads at the moment as to motive, court records suggest the deceased was a scumbag"? Should the PD also require something along those lines in his obit? Why don't you go and protest his funeral like that church in Kansas? While we are on the subject. I am going to request that Surf provide the name of his friend who was robbed in DS last week. Let's do a background check to see if we can loosely imply that he deserved it.

I don't either. Discuss away. Throw out whatever hypothesis, suspicions, theories, etc you have. It's a free country and this is a 'discussion' board. I was merely reacting to the notion that the PD should do the same without direct evidence to substantiate any such theory. This was somebody's son and, although a legal adult, he was still a child. Regardless, I doubt the PD (after learning the ID of a victim) is in such a mad dash as some of its readers to try to dig up the kid's rap sheet. Another possibility is that the CPD has requested that the PD not reveal certain details so as not to interfere with or hinder an ongoing invetigation.

Do we know that the killing was drug trade related? Or are we just inferring it based on the fact this kid had a drug related arrest on his rap sheet? I mustve missed something in the story. A 19 year old kid is dead and you folks are worried that the PD, in releasing a follow up story identifying him by name, did not insinuate some fault of his own in his death? Seriously?

I hate it when Cleveland.com forgets to 'blame the victim'

^only when viewed in the most simplistic terms

If we know this Gordon guy's name, how come nobody has reported it to the police. Now that WAS tongue in cheek. I see it like this - it does no good to simply report and lament these episodes, with the usual "what the hell is going on"....."something needs to be done"...... etc. In his own way, gottaplan was offering some thoughts on what might be a component of the overall solution. Predators need prey and they highly prefer easy targets.

Not gonna make it :( The wife and my baby girl got some bug. Duty calls. Plus, with the way germs spread like the plague in my house, you all are better off without me there. One request. After the alcohol loosens everone up, get a good series of group shots worthy of the UO in Greece thread

Emma Stone dude. I'm going to find her and keep her. I never understood the hype with her. Fairly average (for Hollywood) IMO.

^I saw it in his face after he dunked against Milwaukee. I feel bad for the guy and don't see any hope for him returning to any semblence of his previous form. That said, as long as he can deal with the pain, he can still help this bball team
