blogsFront Page Dream FactorySubmitted by Roldo on Tue, 05/27/2008 - 07:43.
Anybody can dream dreams. They don’t deserve big headlines on the front page of our only daily newspaper. So will the Plain Dealer please stop acting as the public relations outlet of downtown developer dreams! I know that we all want to hear “good news” about our economic progress. However, “good news” that never seems to materialize is “bad news.”

DISTURBANCE ALWAYS IN FRONT - NOT BEHIND - OUR INTENDED VIEWSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 13:39.
I used to always open the window of the car when I took photos of scenes passing by. But at 60 mph you’re apt to get your lens cap blown off.

The parking lot at the Metroparks Zoo was filling up to capacity as I rode my bike over the Brighton-Brooklyn Bridge today. I was intrigued to note that some of the pedestrian crossing signal changers were gone--notably the street level boxes that allowed pedestrians to cross at Denison, ALDI's and Archwood.* I looked up and saw the sign advertising the new program at the zoo. The sponsor is TCP.
GCLAC 2008 Annual Meeting an illuminating and resounding successSubmitted by Sudhir Kade on Sat, 05/24/2008 - 18:14.
Having recently attended the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council (GCLAC) Annual Meeting, which focused on Challenges and Affordable Solutions in Lead Poisoning and Urban Redevelopment, I feel re-invigorated by the energy and culture of collaboration driven to rectify a debilitating lead toxicity problem that is particularly profound in underprivileged communities like East Cleveland. Held in the welcoming confines of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, a full breakfast was served while the various parties collaborating on this critical social justice, health justice, and environmental justice issue were recognized for their considerable efforts. Following this introductory, Keynote Speaker David E. Jacobs (pictured) of the National Center for Healthy Housing delivered a stirring oratory which sharply illuminated a drastically underfunded and undersupported health concern and epidemic.

Now that we have $4 a gallon gasoline upon us maybe we should look at what could have been if only… If only our Regional Transit System had concentrated on being a system that had as its main aim the transit dependent, not to mention our environmental needs.

Regional networking key to future economy, ECIDC speaker saysSubmitted by Betsey Merkel on Thu, 05/22/2008 - 16:19.
Here's a press release on Ed Morrison's recent presentation in Illinois: ..." Sunday, May 18, 2008 10:59 PM CDT By BILL LAIR, Managing Editor The challenge for civic leaders today is figuring out how to forecast the future workplace needs of the country. Ed Morrison, an economic policy adviser for the Purdue center for Regional Development, said people spend too much energy placing blame on economic problems instead of planning for improvements. Morrison was the featured speaker at the nine-county East Central Illinois Development Corporation’s Annual Dinner and BESI Awards on Thursday in Effingham. The BESI awards went to Jim Ryan of Marshall, John Inyart of Charleston and to the Journal Gazette/Times-Courier for their achievements in business ethics and social involvement. = 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '46571-1194541040', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '336'; aAd[4] = '280'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstmid.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '74513-1209649693', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '336'; aAd[4] = '280'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richeys.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1199426400) && (nAdsysTime <= 1515131999)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '109908-1205339109', 'js'); aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209618000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '121553-1206998996', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.illinoisexpresseyecare.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209704400) && (nAdsysTime <= 1214888399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '121781-1210369432', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = ''; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1209531600) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '122887-1207687672', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kcsummersnissan.com'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } if ((nAdsysTime >= 1207890000) && (nAdsysTime <= 1212296399)) { aAd = new Array('news+bigads', '123586-1209489510', 'swf'); aAd[3] = '300'; aAd[4] = '250'; aAd[5] = new Array(); aAd[5][0] = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.barbeck.com%2F'; aAd[6] = 'news%2Bbigads'; aAd[7] = 10; aAd[8] = 0; aAd[9] = 545; aAd[10] = 0; aAd[11] = 0; aAds[aAds.length] = aAd; } adsys_displayAd('http://adsys.townnews.com', 'jg-tc.com', aAds, aCampaigns); // -->

An Afternoon of BassoonSubmitted by CPL Fine Arts on Wed, 05/21/2008 - 10:59.
On Saturday, May 24th, 2008, the Fine Arts Department will present a recital of classical music written for bassoon and piano. The bassoon is most familiar by its role as the grandfather in Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" and the opening solo in Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring."
The performers include Fine Arts librarian, Michael Dalby and friend, PJ Woolston, who performed together in various orchestras in college. Anne Dalby will accompany them on the piano. The recital will feature works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Lars-Erik Larsson, and Johann Baptist Vanhal. Please join us on the 3rd floor of Main Library on Saturday, May 24th, 2008 at 4pm for "An Afternoon of Bassoon"!

Artist for Eternity: Rest in Peace, Scott MillerSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 05/20/2008 - 12:22.
I was saddened to learn today that the excellent Northeast Ohio painter - a Cleveland Institute of Art graduate and productive artist - Scott Miller passed away, this weekend. I'm sure detals will follow here and in other arts media. My mother taught Scott at CIA and remembers him as a great talent, who lived life his own way. Scott just had a powerful show of recent work at Gray's Auctioneers Gallery, in December 2007, at which I shot these photos of Scott and his work - I'll post more later.

The Center for Rural Pennsylvania published today research directly linking the success of broadband to socio- and economic revitalization, and the need for innovative public policy. The design of flexible, resilient public policy will happen with high levels of civic engagement guiding local municipal government. A combo of collaborative leadership and community strengths.

Intel, Grameen Announce PartnershipSubmitted by Betsey Merkel on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 21:52.
Intel and Grameen announced a new partnership today, using new tools to lift poverty and build enterprise. Two of our Midtown Wednesdays Civic Forums at Myers University in the summer of 2006 were lead by two leaders from Africa, Masalakulangwa Mabula and Kudzai Shava. We learned about shared challenges and solutions..the same in Tanzania as in Cleveland urban commuities, we are just separated by an ocean. What is our opportunity to replicate this model here in Northeast Ohio and elevate a 20 year history of deep poverty? Here's the announcement: Sunday, May. 18, 2008
