HealthcareLet's make successful aging in place a NEO innovation prioritySubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 04/22/2006 - 08:34.
The NY Times featured an interesting editorial on "Aging in Place", published 04/22/06, raises many issues to address in NEO right now. The editorial is promoting "reverse mortgages" to allow older homeowners to tap into the equity in their homes to pay for their living costs, ideally until the end. It is very sad the end costs to live and die now eclipse the lifetime wealth and accrued assets of most Americans, who will hope at best to die without major financial hardships - increasingly, dying at home. There are many reasons for these irreversible trends, from the disproportionately aging population (also causing SS crisis) and exploding healthcare expectations and costs to overall longer lifespans.

Let's Talk about Sustainability : Envision East ClevelandSubmitted by Sudhir Kade on Tue, 03/28/2006 - 23:57.
I've thought for some time about the issues facing East Cleveland, and thought deeply about the potential we have to uplift an underprivileged community by applying a concerted eco-development strategy. Here I outline some of my core thoughts as framed by our six-sphere model:
Constant Systems proves excellent fit for NEOSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 03/28/2006 - 23:24.
Constant Systems' Aidan Audouy and Diane Brown drew a diverse audience for a roundtable dedicated to closing the economic development loops needed to attract their company to Northeast Ohio. Roundtable attendees had the one challenge: to learn enough about Constant Systems to determine who we know who may help Constant Systems succeed here - an experiment in viral social networking, open source economic development and the power within very few degrees of separation. In other words, among the diverse thirty-or-so folks who came together for the Excellence Roundtable, we expect to be able to connect the representatives of Constant Systems with the people they still need to meet here to succeed... customers... very specialized customers, primarily in medical-related R&D, of which NEO has many, and access all world-wide.

For this proactive lunchtime discussion, Constant Systems' Aiden Audouy and Diane Brown will demonstrate their technology and explore with us the factors influencing whether their company will locate valuable business operations in NEO, or Research Triangle. By being at this Roundtable, you can help them determine NEO is the best location in the nation and prove that to their CEO. Location

Baldrick's huge fun & great success! Not too late for you to help fight cancer!Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 03/18/2006 - 14:18.
Now posting to realneo... photos from the 2006 St. Patrick's Day St. Baldrick's shave-in at A.J. Rocco's, which will raise over $150,000 this year for Childhood Cancer research... perhaps much more, with your continuing support.... and yes, there is a TEAM NEO and that has Sudhir and Norm of "REALNEO gone bald". St. Patrick's Day is St. Bald Us for scores at A.J. Rocco's... including NormSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 03/17/2006 - 03:32.
03/17/2006 - 14:00 Etc/GMT-4 St. Patrick's Day at A.J. Rocco's is a sight - people overflowing out the doors and across the patio - but that is nothing compared to what goes on inside... barkeeps and barbers raising over $100K for children's cancer research. As hard as it is to imagine, in a few hours scores of men and women will have their heads shaved in a bar, and people will pledge money to the St. Baldrick's foundation... lots of money. Location

Case, after the levee brokeSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 03/04/2006 - 15:17.
With the demand by Case Professor Krauss for a no-confidence vote against the Case president and provost, the levee broke flooding Case with the community sewage brimming its highest offices since hurricane Lewis smacked NEO several years ago, demanding the complete reorganization of Case. The rains since from Lewis' further public contempt for Case overflowed all the protection the president and board could retain, and now the Case community is in ruins.

Proposal for Case: Add Cowen - Follow Tulane BlueprintSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 03/04/2006 - 12:52.
I have a proposal for several actions Case may take to become the "World's Most Powerful Learning Environment", as Hundert proposes. The first action is for the Case board and senior administration to form a panel of Blue Ribbon Advisors who are qualified and able to develop for the University a renewal plan. The panel must be expert in the subject, globally-respected and ready to begin immediately. Therefore, for the panel I recommend:
William G. Bowen, president, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, president emeritus, Princeton University William R. Brody, president, The Johns Hopkins University James J. Duderstadt, president emeritus, University of Michigan Harvey Fineberg, president, The Institute of Medicine, The National Academies Malcolm Gillis, president emeritus, Rice University Eamon Kelly, president emeritus, Tulane University Scott Cowen, president, Tulane University Farris W. Womack, chief financial officer emeritus, University of Michigan Creating Independent Green Republic of East ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 02/23/2006 - 10:30.

Huge breaking story: Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liableSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 16:36.
Huge news in Rhode Island today - "Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liable" - will have major impacts in Cleveland. Cleveland is one year into a major regional initiative to eradicate lead poisoning in Greater Cleveland, where elevated blood level rates are some of the highest in the country, and it is very important that the paint companies are part of the solutions being developed. Rhode Island is where the battle against lead poisoning has proceeded the furthest in court, and now a jury has ruled against three paint companies, including our home-town Sherwin-Williams. Imagine some possible next steps... lead goes the way of asbestos and the old paint companies go bankrupt, and so goes away Sherwin-Williams and all its jobs in the region, with the assets going to our next Mittal... yet the bankruptcy settlement and asset sales help pay to eradicate lead poisoning here so our next generations are not mentally impaired and are able to contribute to the economy. What do the people of NEO rally around - saving jobs or saving minds... I can see the fanatical lines being drawn now. Is that the best we can do? Or can lead be viewed as a new frontier for open, responsible collaboration across our community (as is already happening in Greater Cleveland) AND with one of the biggest players on the industry - our own Sherwin-Williams - allowing us to respond here to our dirty laundry being aired in the RI courts, and in the process making Sherwin-Williams a stronger corporate citizen, in a safer, healthier, smarter community more worth living in. Read the complete story, from the Providence Journal.

A ClevelandBikes’ bike station for Northeast Ohio?Submitted by Kevin Cronin on Mon, 01/16/2006 - 11:15.
People on REALNEO’s website are used to thinking about new ideas and the way we can help create the city and region we want to live in. Rather than passive acceptance, readers at REALNEO are active shapers of the community. Our area is increasingly considering the importance of health activities, lifestyle and the comfort and attractiveness of the region. As a region, we are focusing on regional assets, including our parks and lake. With that in mind, I want to discuss ClevelandBikes, a two year-old nonprofit, and our project to develop an asset to meet these goals…a bike station, a new piece of the transportation infrastructure.

The new mayor received standing ovations as he entered the room, took the oath of office and after he finished his inspiring inaugural address.
