Cleveland Law Library Weblog: Cleveland Bans .50 Caliber Rifles

I’m three of twenty. If you have a spare seven and a half minutes, check out my interview @ BlueOhioan.com. Just want to thank Anthony and Tom for coming out and doing these. I’m impressed at the quality of questions that Anthony asks and am glad he’ll be able to attend future meet.the.bloggers* conversations…

Emily guest posting from the Hebrew University:

“Less than three weeks ago, a friend of mine, and participant in one of the many tour groups in Israel, traveled through the beautiful rolling hills of northern Israel all the way to the Israeli-Lebanese Border. Just twenty days ago his tour guide showed the group the calm border between Israel and Lebanon and proudly spoke about the amicable relations between the two formerly antagonistic states. Twenty days later, this same border teems with Israeli tanks, soldiers, artillery, paramedics, and just across this border, South Lebanon now ranks the densest area in the world in terms of weaponry per square kilometer…”

I’ve been working with Jan Limpach and Joe Becerra on a new business blog. I think it’s coming along rather nicely, and I know there’s several wine aficionados who read BFD:

You’re here on a convention and have a half-day of free time. You have always wanted to visit the Napa Valley, and this time you are going to do it no matter what happens. Your goal is to bring home at least a four pack of wine and a photo of yourself with the vineyards and mountains of the Napa Valley in the background. So, where do you go in the Napa Valley to sample the best of this fabulous wine country?

But still. If you want Bloggapalooza encapsulated into 2 minutes, this is quite the outtake.

Damn, I must be getting jaded. This comes as no surprise to me anymore:

The partners of the Greater Cleveland Marketing Alliance are ready to sell Cleveland through a jazzy ad campaign. So who do they turn to? An advertising agency headquartered in Detroit.

The Doner Agency, which has a large Cleveland office, won the contract worth up to $4 million to promote Cleveland and lure businesses and tourists. The decision isn’t sitting well with some local firms, including Marcus Thomas, the local agency that is losing its contract, much smaller, to promote the city.

It doesn’t sit well with some local firms? I wonder if they think a sentence or two in the PD’s Tipoff column is going to change anything? What can we do get organizations like this to “buy local”? Don’t they understand the impact it has on Cleveland’s economy?
