Dear Norm,
I've been traveling Ohio on our silver school bus that we bought on eBay and our supporters named "The Courage Express." What's it like? Well, it's a little bumpy, as school buses are, but it's one of the happiest times of this campaign.

2008 Lead Poisonings of children in Cuyahoga County, Ohio - do not move here
The Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council has released data on children in the neighborhoods of Cleveland and surrounding suburbs who were tested and documented as lead poisoned in Cuyahoga County in 2008 - about 3,200 of our Cleveland children were KNOWN to be lost to lead poisoning - about 4,000 children poisoned in Cuyahoga County overall. As only a small percentage of our children are actually tested for lead poisoning, the numbers of children in the County lost to lead poisoning is much higher... 1,000s of victims higher.
Cleveland's worst known mass-murderer, Anthony Sowell, is only known to have killed 11 people.... yet that has captured 1000s of inches of pointless newsprint... hours of pointless news coverage... to help nobody.

For a humorous take on a previous transition—the shift from scrolls to books— watch this clip from Norwegian television NRK (with English subtitles)
realNEO is popular with librarians, and our members are certainly data intellectuals, so I expect an extensive treatment of the future of libraries - Gutenberg 2.0 - in the May/June Harvard Magazine will be of great interest here.

I have lived in Northeast Ohio most of my life... have founded the amazing realNEO... have done lots of other important work here and worldwide... have proposed the most innovative economic development platform in the region...
I deleted the Venn Diagram post--it is the one factor that humble posters, not administrators, can control here.
For some reason, it's okay to use REALNEO, but not to use Facebook or Twitter. Fine. I agree--it's insidious and the site recently sold all of our personal info dispersed there to Spokeo.com. I didn't invent REALNEO or Facebook or Twitter or Spokeo. It is important to find some way to enjoy one's life. If social media makes anyone miserable. You have control. Flip the switch. OFF.
This special meeting was put together and scheduled at the request of many residents. Due to the fact that there are several businesses on Professor Avenue (including Dante, Edisons and Tree House) expanding - this is going to take the parking deficit over the edge.
