For the first time in our nation's history, Congress has passed comprehensive health care reform

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 03/22/2010 - 04:54.

eMail from Barack Obama:

Norm --

For the first time in our nation's history, Congress has passed comprehensive health care reform. America waited a hundred years and fought for decades to reach this moment. Tonight, thanks to you, we are finally here.

Consider the staggering scope of what you have just accomplished:

Because of you, every American will finally be guaranteed high quality, affordable health care coverage.

Every American will be covered under the toughest patient protections in history. Arbitrary premium hikes, insurance cancellations, and discrimination against pre-existing conditions will now be gone forever.

American Tragedy

Submitted by lmcshane on Sun, 03/21/2010 - 10:38.

This is an insane time of year for parents, kids and teens in the City of Cleveland. Besides the Ohio Achievement tests and the general chaos imposed upon our community by the senseless Transformation Plan--most are also scrambling for ways to keep their kids occupied during the summer.

Sadly, even jobs traditionally available to teenagers like camp counselors and lifeguarding are now desperately sought out by adults.

Is Applying for Mineral Mining Rights within the City Limits of Cleveland Newsworthy?

Submitted by Gloria Ferris on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 20:44.

It would probably depend on your viewpoint.  I would say that the residents on Sky Lane and near Bradley Road would be very interested in Mineral Mining Permit #10428.  The public notice for this application was placed in the Plain Dealer beginning in February.  I went on line to www.Cleveland.com to find one of the public notices by scanning the classifieds but gave it up as a futile endeavor.  The public notices are included with the classifieds and not searchable as far as I could tell.

Evelyn Kiefer Roulet at Cleveland Orchestra Severance Hall

My greatest cultural pleasure living in Cleveland has always been seeing the Cleveland Orchestra perform at Severance Hall - I grew-up experiencing the perfection of the George Szell era, and Franz Welser-Möst's current direction is my favorite since. So any time Evelyn is fortunate to be given tickets by her boss (thanks Professor), we are there.

Why You Should Still Avoid Banks Like the Plague

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 00:59.

In mid-2008, hedge fund manager David Einhorn took notice after Lehman Brothers made either an egregious typo or lied through its teeth. Lehman's "Level 3 assets" presented in its conference call were different from those disclosed in its SEC filings. Einhorn confronted Lehman management, who essentially told him to shut up and mind his own business. Lehman went bankrupt four months later.

VIdeo of the Day For Claes: X-Men Evolution - Ascension Part 2

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 12:49.

Claes and my favorite cartoons are the old X-Men Evolution series, about teenagers with toxic parents in a toxic world who are mutants and have special powers and so save humanity. It is a hopeful story, in these troubled times. This video on Hulu is the conclusion of the entire series, which Claes and I never saw before... he will be very excited I found this.
