CAKE IN THE PARKSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 09/29/2007 - 20:56.
Carpe diem is one way to say it, but when I saw the glass pedestal cake plate on the sunny bank of the Lower Shaker Lake I had a feeling “seize the day” was being exercised in the superlative.

Demolition PatrolSubmitted by lmcshane on Sat, 09/29/2007 - 09:02.
I've enlisted the kids in the neighborhood to let me know of the most recent demolitions. West 34th St. is the most recent victim of these random hits (Address 3872, south off Denison). Creating these gaping holes is not how to save the city. If there was some actual vision or plan to make use of these demolished properties, then I could see the rationale. To the people living with the bulldozers--it's as if someone has dropped a bomb on their street. (I will have to buy a digital camera to record the devastation a la Jeff Buster).

One Laptop Per ChildSubmitted by Charles Frost on Thu, 09/27/2007 - 15:50.
"Thank you for your interest in One Laptop Per Child. Our mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have insufficient resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 a year per child. Imagine the potential that could be unlocked by giving every child in the world the tools they need to learn, no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how little they may have. If you'd like to donate an XO laptop today, simply click the donation button on the right, above the photo. A donation of $200 will pay for and deliver one XO laptop to a child in a developing nation, $400 will pay for and deliver two XO laptops, and so on. Starting November 12, One Laptop Per Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home. If you're interested in Give 1 Get 1, we'll be happy to send you a reminder email. Just sign up in the box to the left and you'll receive your reminder prior to the November 12 launch date. Once again, thank you. We sincerely hope you'll join our growing community of people working to create a connected, educated, enlightened future for the world's most essential resource—its children."

After the presentation by authors John Mearsheimer (left) and Stephen Walt (right) of the The Israel Lobby at Case’s Ford Auditorium last night, I approached Alice Bach, the tenured Case prof (on the stage between the authors) and complimented her on her perspicacity shown in arranging Mr. Mearsheimer's and Mr. Walt's visit to Cleveland.

PUBLIC URINATION – WHY CLEVELAND IS FAILINGSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 09/25/2007 - 14:25.
Let’s say it’s 2:30 in the morning in August in Downtown Cleveland, you are a homeless guy in your fifties named Mr. Baskin, and you are in the grassy walkway area (pictured in daytime above) behind the County Administration Building. And you’ve got to go.
Join the ClubSubmitted by lmcshane on Mon, 09/24/2007 - 09:55.
Like millions of Americans, Oprah has been diagnosed with thyroid disease. We know that there is an environmental stressor causing this autoimmune failure. Maybe, now there will be more of an attempt to pinpoint the cause and spare our children from this silent epidemic. It mostly affects women (due to body fat?) So ask yourself, what do we add to our water? It's not just an urban problem--it's a suburban problem, too. It's not just a Lake Erie problem, it's a Lake Michigan problem, too. So, maybe the soccer moms will want to do something about it? Especially, if Oprah leads the charge.

WIRES CONTRE JOURSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 09/23/2007 - 17:46.
We have all seen this phenomena, in the early morning or late afternoon - when the sun is “against the day” - the sun somehow reflects off the wires and makes them shine like illuminated spider’s webs.

Urban Wind Turbine: A Rare Species SpottedSubmitted by Charles Frost on Sat, 09/22/2007 - 15:03.
Ask a die-hard altpower fan if they’ve ever seen a functional wind turbine in the urban jungle, and chances are, the answer is no. Today we bring you some exclusive footage of this rare species. This Skystream 3.7, built by Altira-backed Southwest Wind Power, sits atop a remodeled corner house in San Francisco’s Mission District. The blades sit on a skinny 45-foot pole dropped in by crane. Here is the turbine in action on Wednesday’s windy afternoon.
