Biggest slap in the face is that they found the money to completely overhaul I-670 in Columbus which was nowhere near as important or in need of repair as the Innerbelt Bridge! Just so typical of "our" legislators in Columbus...
The problem with merit based pay for teachers is that there are too many variables outside of the classroom that affect the learning abilities of their students. If you are going to evaluate teachers on a child's performance then you need to evaluate each child's home life and parents too.
A teacher can stand in front of a classroom and teach until they drop, but if those kids go home every night to a household with unstable parents, or a parent who beats them, or as too many children in Cleveland do, go to a homeless shelter for the night; how is it fair to expect a teacher to reach a kid facing those kinds of obstacles. If you are going to evaluate teachers on children's performance you need to evaluate each child too. Teaching is a far different profession then others in the service industry...you can evaluate an attorney on billable hours and wins and losses in court, a physician on patient outcomes; but teachers only have a child for a short time each day and it's extremely unfair to judge their performance solely on the child's success without considering the child's background and home life.
The people making the comments about downtown not being safe are probably the same people who voted in our republican legislators who are going to make it legal to carry firearms into establishments that serve alcohol. When you start making laws that resemble the wild west, you get the wild west.
I frequent downtown almost every weekend and go to the Warehouse District about 95% of the time I am downtown. The police do a great job, it is very safe...but when you sit on your ivory tower in Geauga County and judge what happens in the big bad city of Cleveland based on isolated incidents you wouldn't understand that. I guess what we need is Wyatt Earp policing the mean streets, oh wait, we can't afford him...
This is an easy fix, the city should sell the golf course anyway...it's poorly managed and terribly maintained, maybe the cigar ashes will help fertilize some of the greens so they will still have grass on them by June.
I live in the city of Cleveland and pay my taxes as such. If you don't live in the City of Cleveland proper, please don't drive downtown to a Indians/Cavs/Browns game, or for a concert, or to go to dinner in Tremont, or to gamble at the casino when it's built, since you will be driving over roads which I paid for and you did not. I guess we're all just one big community, you may have to play nice with a neighbor or two...
It really is a great thing to see that in a time of great economic unrest where the state is facing a predicted $8 Billion in budget cuts that the Republican lawmakers who once again dominate the State Legislature have decided to focus on such a pressing issue which obviously requires immediate legislation. In a time where the people of the State of Ohio need to come together to find solutions to the host of problems we face, how lucky are we to have legislators with the vision and intelligence to introduce legislation that will only divide us further. In this Republic we get the representatives we deserve, perhaps Ohio would be better off if more of our near sighted and ignorant voters would have been aborted (before they had a heart beat of course).
Why? Why? Why? Why do you keep writing about Lebron...don't you know if you pick at a scab it only gets worse? Seriously, Dan Gilbert, the Cavs Franchise, and 99.9% of Northeast Ohio has moved on and is looking forward to seeing what the new Cavs are capable of...We bury our dead for a reason, so they don't stink up the rest of the world for the living...The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com needs to do the same!
Stop writing about Lebron, the city has moved on we would appreciate if the Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com did the same! We don't care what he thinks anymore!
I think what is lost in this discussion is the fact that this is a group of 350 people, which is expected attendance for one mass in a decent sized parish. These people don't want to loose their faith community and that is understandable, but to keep a 120 year old building open to serve one mass a week is both selfish and irresponsible. Wouldn't their faith and energy better serve our area as a whole if it was utilized in a larger community that takes on more outreach and has greater resources? It is irresponsible because they are not allowing the Catholic community as a whole to heal from the trauma of the closings as they re-open the wound every-time they send a press release to the Plain Dealer. Their selfish actions are working to only invalidate the argument for true Parish Communities that are petitioning Rome to keep churches open that serve far more than 350 individuals.
Our county is in a great time of transition, from the change of government to the forces that drive our economy (steel and automotive to health care/biotech/green technology) and change is always met by the those forces that benefited from the old way.
The idea of county reform was to bring a new system, with new people, and new ideas and the forces of change vs. the old guard hit head on in that meeting last week shown in the video.
Chris Ronayne has done great things for the city and UCI and will bring that success to the county. Brady is a retired career politician who benefited from the old way and now wants back in so he can collect his OPERS pension and make $45K on top of that (not to bad for a part time job).
We are at a great cross roads in the history of our community, it's time that we had fresh ideas and new voices to lead us down the right path. I live in District 3 and I am voting for Chris Ronayne!
Lebron should send Matt Damon after Braylon like he did on Entourage. "Braylon this is Matt, I can't believe I have an academy award and am calling you! I wanted you to know that all of Cleveland can't wait for you to go drop passess in another city! You suck! -Matt"
Why in the world do we keep going after "utility men"? It is irritating!
Casey Blake, Jamie Carroll, and now we trade Cliff Lee for a weak armed catcher, 2 pitchers with promise and injuries, and a utility man.
Why not focus on guys who, i don't know, play one position and excel?
This management team is in love with white, mediocre, utility infielders, you can't build a franchise around them, it is insane.
I am just looking forward to everyone's favorite ball park promotion...first 9 fans through the gate start!
Go Crushers!!
Ok, anyone who thinks this is a bad move is an idiot. The one real economic driver this area has is healthcare, we take for granted the Clinic and UH as well as Metro because we are used to them. Go get sick in San Diego and see where you have to go, or NYC, they don't have the healthcare resources we do in Cleveland.
Don't listen to the idiots who are being so negative, they're the same people who think the free stamp is art.
We can be a Mecca for healthcare because we are one of the few places where we have accessible world class healthcare resouces and a location that is easy to get to.
Outside of Rochester Minn. or Baltimore Maryland, nobody else has what we do, people fly from all over the world to come to our hospitals, it is about time we really capitalized on it.
I agree that Cuyahoga County Government needs to be changed, but it takes some serious audacity to propose changes in a county you don't even live in.
Maybe residents of Cuyahoga County should propose changes to Geauga County (home of Chester Township), outlawing guns, hunting, and inbreeding.
Thank you for recognizing that Cuyahoga County government needs to be fixed, but I agree lets let the FBI and IRS do their work, and start from there.
Tim, we don't appreciate your view from the cheap seats, those of us who live in the county will take care of the issue. Go sell Lake water to Arizona!
Why is it that no one is outraged about the mobile cameras? A cop has to sit there and operate the camera as it catches speeders. I thought the whole justification for these cameras was to allow our police in Cleveland to patrol neighborhoods and not focus so much on traffic issues, allowing them to do other police work. Doesn't having an officer sitting in his car, manning the mobile camera defeat this purpose? Should law enforcement really be a revenue generating operation? And at what cost is that focus on catching speeders at 22nd and Superior affecting law enforcement in other areas of the city?
Oh Branson:
Having played hockey since I was just a small kid and coaching it now as an adult, I have to say, your article is not surprising, or profound. I give the NHL a lot of credit, after the lock out ended, they went to great lengths to open the game up, mirroring a European style of play, and if you were actually a fan of the game, and not just a judgmental band wagon hopper, you would see that scoring is up because guys like Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby have more room to work on the ice and make plays.
Fighting is a part of the game, and as everyone else has said, is a way for players to police the game themselves. It is the reason you don't see fans throwing things on the playing surface (e.g. football) or brawls spilling into the stands (e.g. Basketball in Detroit). Hockey is a physical game, and when someone runs your goaltender, or cheap shots your star player, dropping the mitts is a way to send a message.
Both guys fight, and then go to the box for five minutes and the bad blood has been let.
The idea of teaching kids how to fight safely is not novel in hockey, one of the first lessons you learn as a Peewee (age 11 for those of you who never played the game but only write about it) is how to give and take a check safely, the same lesson should apply for fighting, because it will happen, there are enough goons out there, that as a player you will have to stand up for yourself.
The kid who died in juniors wasn't wearing his helmet, because the league he was in, actually penalizes you for keeping your helmet on during a fight, as it is an unfair advantage, this is where the game needs to change. The NHL should mandate every player securely strap their chin strap, and the Canadian Junior League should remove the helmet rule from their books, that is how you deal with this. Hockey is no longer promoted with an ambulance circling the arena, or an emphasis on the clutching and grabbing that slows the game down...the league has moved into the new century and embraced the speed and skill level of the game, Branson, before you write about it again, you should do the same.
I would like to thank all of the people who posted messages from out of town. How is the view from the cheap seats? It takes a lot of courage to move away and then point out flaws.
I by no means believe that Cleveland can compare to an Atlanta, Dallas, or Chicago, or believe that we are even on the right track. But we have some good things working, and I want to be part of the change for the better.
Maybe loosing the folks with a negative attitude is a good thing in the end, like having a tumor removed
We need some stronger leadership at all levels of government and a better educated population, there were over 5,000 unfilled tech jobs in Northeast Ohio last year.
Those of us who have been fortunate to stay here have to be part of the solution, a change needs to be made in the mindset of the population still left, Ford and GM aren't the answers anymore, neither is the steel industry. We need to embrace healthcare, and the technology and research that comes with it, stop whining about the sales tax for the medical mart, that was one of the most pro-active and forward thinking things the county has done in a long time.
Expand the port, make the city a commerce center for the great lakes, Cleveland is a 6 hour drive from 1/3 of the countries population, and finally, embrace the coming boom in alternative energies, we are surrounded by a lake to the north (which is an ideal spot for wind farms) and agriculture to the east, south, and west to produce bio-fuels.
We have great opportunity, we need optimism and leadership, something that the city has lacked for a long time. If we don't embrace these changes, we will continue to "grind it out" as the manager of our last place baseball team likes to say, and look where it has gotten him!
Is the Plain Dealer going to try and crucify the church the Minister stole the money from, like they did with the Catholic Church and Joe Smith? Maybe they finally realized who the real victim is! Oh wait...the PD only picks on Catholics!!
I believe tonight while I am out drinking, I will have to toast Councilman Reed!

Featured Article: Advice to Parents of Picky Eaters
We were recently featured in an aricle in the Summer 2011 issue of Western Pennsylvania Guide to Good Health. The article focuses on creating positive eating habits for picky eaters, an issue that many parents have to deal with. We've re-published the article below.
If you'd like to learn more about positive eating habits for your family, listen to our podcast where "Caring for Kids Radio" host David Martin chats with Janet Laughlin M.Ed., Infant/Child Development Specialist & Family Centered Feeding Program Coordinator for The Children's Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family Center.
Guide to Good Health article:
When a child has feeding issues, many people assume the child is a "picky eater." However, problem eaters can be a result of sensory, anatomical, or behavioral issues. The Children's Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family Center recognizes how difficult it can be to implement solutions for children that are having difficulty with eating. In collaboration with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, The Children's Home has established the Family Centered Feeding Program (FCFP) to help families understand their child's feeding issues and create a plan of care.
It is inherent in our nature to assure that children are receiving the proper nutrition, which can be frustrating when a child has aversions to food. It is important to remember that feeding time should be a pleasant experience, building healthy eating habits, so the child associates a friendly, positive atmosphere with eating. It is crucial that the family is the center of the feeding plan, making sure it is carried out by everyone involved in the child's care.
Through the structure of the FCFP, in both the Children's Home's medical day treatment program, Child's Way®, and the Pediatric Specialty Hospital, the entire family is involved in the child's care. Families participate in cooking and preparing meals, working closely with the child's therapists, nursing staff, nutritionist and dietician, while receiving a customized treatment plan with shared goals. Family has an opportunity to stay in the Lemieux Family Center overnight with their child, siblings and extended family, so that everyone can learn therapeutic feeding techniques.
"The Family Centered Feeding Program is based on our belief that a child's family is the most important participant in the feeding program care team," said Chelsea Ruffo, Registered Dietetic Technician for The Children's Home. "Our atmosphere promotes open communication, honors cultural diversity, and utilizes an individualized plan of care." Building consistency between what therapists are doing and what is being implemented at home reinforces positive strategies and helps to not confuse the child. Most importantly, remember that no plan is going to work over night, stay patient and positive and always stick to the plan.

Tweetie Pie
Tweetie Pie is a 1947 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons, depicting the first pairing of Tweety and Sylvester. Allegedly, when Tweety's creator, director Bob Clampett, left the Warner Bros. studio in 1946, he was working on a fourth film starring Tweety, whom he would pair with Friz Freleng's Sylvester, who previously appeared with Porky Pig in his cartoon Kitty Kornered.

SMCC hoops teams hit semester break
The Southern Maine Community College men's and women's basketball teams were up-and-down in the first semester, but both entertain high hopes looking ahead to 2010.
The men ended the first half 6-7 (4-4 in the Yankee Small College Conference) after falling 109-105 to rival Central Maine CC. The Seawolves have been led by the steady play of standouts Coleman Findlay, Josh Mackie and Mike Burchill, while several other players have pitched in.
"The first half of the year was challenging," said men's coach and athletic director Matt Richards. "We had many new players to incorporate into a new system that we're playing and doing that against what I consider the toughest first half schedule we've played in the seven years that I've been here. However, I'm pleased with how well we are starting to play with our new style. The last four games of the semester were our best. We are leading the USCAA in 3-point field goals made per game and in scoring. I think people will really be impressed with the up-tempo game we are now playing."
SMCC returns to action Jan. 6 against Rochester and expects to make a run at another conference title and national tournament berth.
"Next semester looks very promising," said Richards. "I think we're going to have the ability to rattle off several conference wins in a row. One addition at the break will really help in Jeff Winnie who was our starting point guard last year. With Jeff coming back, I'll be able to slide everyone else back to their natural position. We currently stand at fourth in our conference, two games back from the top spot. I feel that our added chemistry late in the first semester and several key home conference games in the second half of the season will put us in the mix to get into the top two spots in the conference."
The women also lost to CMCC (60-55) in their 2009 finale. The Seawolves are 5-5 overall (5-2 in YSCC play) and have a lot to be proud of.
"We have been on a roller coaster this first semester," said coach Becky Roak. "We got off to a shaky start playing a few tough non-conference opponents like Navy Prep, Dean and CCRI trying to get ready for conference play. Then, we started to play good team basketball, we seemed to be all on the same page, then had a disappointing final game against CMCC. The loss deflated our sails a bit, but will also be used as drive and motivation to start out second semester."
South Portland's Rachel Del Camp has led the way this winter, averaging 17.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Portland's Alisa Sweet has scored 14.6 points and grabbed 10.8 rebounds an outing. Roak credited better ball handling and the play of guards Amanda Chandler and Brittany Rich for the team's improvement.
SMCC is back in action Jan. 8 when it faces Briarcliffe College. Like the men, the women's team feels its best is still to come.
"As for 2010, I feel we will get it together and come on strong realizing we have to work hard every night and can not take any team lightly," Roak said. "The key to our success will be the veteran players stepping up and not repeating what happen to us last February."

Arlington police arrested the suspect this afternoon on an outstanding traffic violation.
Larry Donnell Coffey, 26, of Arlington had no gun with him when he was taken into custody, police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said.
Coffey and the woman who reported the threat have a child who goes to the YWCA daycare on campus, and police say they are involved in a custody dispute.
Children at the daycare were never in danger, Richard said, and "there is no indication a criminal offense occurred related to the original call this morning."

most of you guys are idiots. of course he was reading from a teleprompter. when they did reverse shots into the crowd you could see them! and tofumamma as for getting the "poor state moving" have you had your head under a rock?!? we are one of what 3 states that posted job gains in december. id say thats a pretty good accomplishment not to mention the ethics reforms and the tax cuts and incentives for businesses. yall need to get over yourselves and stop being blinded by hate.
come on guys. hold the people who actually voted for this accountable. not bobby. don't loose the bigger picture here.
AMEN bayoustjohn. I dont think big box stores will degrade new orleans....but blighted property definitely will!
Also, the whole point of opening an Office Max and a Petsmart is so that people arent spending their money in River Ridge anymore. it keeps the taxes here in n.o.. An outdoor shopping center would be great, but arent there plans to build one in new orleans east already. And 650 permanent jobs sounds awesome. lets just be happy with investment in n.o..

JUNE 16, 2015: Patrol Road is closed temporarily due to flooding.
Changes to waterfowl hunting regarding boats and blinds.
Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area is dedicated to providing quality hunting and fishing opportunities while maintaining 9,956 acres, which includes 1,200 acres of open water, marshes and flooded crop land.
Willow Slough began with the purchase of 7,800 acres of land in 1949. Land acquisition continued to bring the total size to 9,956 acres. J.C. Murphey Lake was completed in 1951. Parts of Willow Slough were formerly grazed, hayed and cultivated. A railroad once ran through the property, and portions of an old station can be found in the area. Most revenues used in land acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area are derived from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Funds are also received from the federal Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson programs to aid fish and wildlife restoration. These funds are derived from taxes levied on sport hunting and fishing equipment. Indiana hunters and fishermen are proud to provide this property for the enjoyment of all people.
9,956 acres of high sandy hills and oak barrens, poorly drained wetlands, farm land, ponds and marshes surround a 1,000 acre lake attracting deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, hawks, owls, osprey, bald eagles and a wide variety of songbirds. No sign-in is required to scout, hike, fish or wildlife watch.
Willow Slough FWA provides 50 Class B campsites from May 1 thru September 17. The showerhouse will be available until September 16, 2012 and will reopen on May 1, 2013. It will be closed from Sept.17 - April 30 for repairs. Camping is afforded the rest of the season at Class C rates. No reservations are accepted for camping. A picnic area is also available.
The range is set up for pistol, rifle, shotgun and archery users. There are no fees to use the range. Only paper targets are allowed on the rifle and pistol ranges. Hours can be found at http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3648.htm. For more information, call (219) 285-2060.
Wild blackberries, blueberries and raspberries, walnuts and spring and fall mushrooms may be gathered from the property. Mushroom hunting is allowed and no sign-in is necessary. Mushroom hunting is prohibited during the spring turkey hunting hours, which is 30 minutes before sunrise to noon during spring turkey season.
NO Swimming Allowed.
Please Read and Obey All Signs.
In addition to state fish and wildlife laws, this property is governed by posted regulations affecting the public use of lands and facilities owned, leased or licensed by the Department of Natural Resources.
Safety zones, waterfowl resting and other restricted areas are marked with appropriate signs. PLEASE READ AND OBEY ALL SIGNS.
Violation of any law, rule or regulation governing this property may be cause for forfeiting your hunting, fishing, or visiting privileges on this area.
The Division of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Natural Resources, will not be held responsible for any accidents or deaths occurring from the use of these facilities.
In addition to a hunting and/or fishing license the following permits are required:
Camping, picnicking, and open campfires are allowed in designated areas only. Unloaded firearms, unstrung bows and arrows, and air guns may be possessed, but not used in camping and picnic areas. All weapons must be stored or carried in a case, or locked within a vehicle while in these areas. No swimming is allowed.

St. John USVI Culture: Why is English the language of the Virgin Islands?
In fact Danish was never an important language in the Danish West Indies. Denmark was a latecomer to the European practice of colonization. Lacking the military power of the other European colonizers, the Danes were only able to claim St. Thomas and later St. John, because no other European power really wanted these dry, rocky and hilly islands which were not particularly suited to sugar production.
Early explorers and settlers sent back tales of extreme hardship and rampant disease, and the Danes, who were generally comfortable at home, showed little interest in settling the new territories. Even an attempt to bring prisoners, promising freedom after six years of labor, was met with riots, mutinies and other forms of resistance. As a result, the Danish government and its representative in the colonies, the Danish West India Company, resorted to inviting foreigners to settle the islands.
The majority of these settlers were Dutch. The African slaves working on the plantations were taught to speak a Dutch Creole, called Creolsk, and this became the common language of St. Thomas and St. John. The Moravian Church, which was influential because it ministered to the slaves, even translated the Bible into Dutch Creole so that the slaves would be able to understand it.
The question then becomes "Why isn't Dutch spoken in the Virgin Islands?"
The Danes purchased St. Croix from France in 1733. The most influential foreigners in St. Croix were English. In St. Croix, English Creole was the dominant language and was spoken by most of the slaves. St. Croix had large areas of flat and fertile land. It received more rainfall than its neighbors to the north and was more suitable for a plantation economy. St. Croix's greater wealth and importance enabled it to exert a strong influence over the other islands of the Danish West Indies, St. Thomas and St. John.English Creole-The Spoken Word on St. John Presented by Mr. Elroy Sprauve
British Occupation
The last speaker of Dutch Creole on St. John died in 1991 and with her passing the language is no longer spoken on the island.
In the book, The West Indies and the Spanish Main, Anthony Trollope made the following observation concerning the island of St. Thomas in 1859:
The people that one meets there forms as strange a collection as may perhaps be found anywhere. In the first place, all languages seem alike to them. One hears English, French, German and Spanish spoken all around one. And apparently it is indifferent which. The waiters seem to speak them all.
Charles E. Taylor in a description of St. John in the late nineteenth century wrote:
Dutch Creole was once the prevailing language, many of the planters being of Dutch decent. The population which now numbers about 900, speak English.

I was trying to use the xrandr command to rotate a screen left, and got this crash. The middle screen has no rotation, and the screen off to the left has rotation. It's rotation works just fine. The screen off to the right is supposed to be rotated, but it wasn't working, hence the xrandr command.
The setup is a 560Ti, 550Ti, QuadHD screen, and two Dell 30" monitors. The QuadHD screen is actually two 2160x3840 screens right next to each other with no bezel. These are using TwinView off the 560Ti card. The two Dell 30" monitors are not using Twinview, and each run as their own X server. They are connected to the 550Ti.
This is on a Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 machine running the 3.0.0-24-generic kernel(oneiric-backport). The version of the driver is 304.43.
