Bob,

You, Whitehouse, Zenty and my dad should be the first to go.... http://realneo.us/content/doctors-university-hospitals-should-turn-their-licenses-practice-medicine-hypocrits

Unfortunately, I am totally out of the loop, and know nothing about the steam plant or its developers, and can't be of any help to you.
I imagine it is a joint venture involving all the players in University Circle. Commissioner Jones should be able to assist you in identifying the leadership of the project.

As an aside, I can't imagine that any UH doctors are involved in the campus steam plant. I understand it to be under  UH-Case-UCI ownership, but I'm not certain.
Sorry that I can't be of help.

University Hospitals development causing the family problems

I trust you are well.

My family and a team of professionals are working with Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jones to advance a $20 million economic and workforce development initiative for this region that is focused on information technology and local foods. This advances the technology work I introduced to you and the UH CIO at lunch, nearly a decade ago - one aspect of that is a social network I launched here 5 years ago, called REALNEO - http://realneo.us.

Related to this, my family has invested in real estate and development planning in the area east of University Hospitals, in Cleveland and East Cleveland, where my wife and I have renovated an historic home and reside, and where we intend to grow parts of the emerging local foods economy.

While all honest, intelligent leadership in the community is supportive of our efforts, the leadership planning development of University Hospitals, Case, University Circle and our neighborhoods of Cleveland and East Cleveland have been dishonest in their planning, and have lied to citizens, including my family, to protect interests planning to build a steam generation plant in my neighborhood, at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Lakeview.

The partnership planning to build this powerplant appears to be the same as or similar to the group of UH doctors operating the steam generation plant at University Hospitals now, although I do not know that for a fact, or any real deatials about the project, because we have been deceived.

I am working through the people who have deceived our family, to determine who is ultimately responsible for the planning of this facility. I would appreciate your assistance in determining this, and arranging a meeting to allow my family and the public to know what is planned in our neighborhod, so we may plan our lives and private investments accordingly.

You may call me at 440-220-0919 or email norm [at] realneo [dot] us and we can schedule a time to get together with my parents, who have $100,000s at risk here, and feel quite distressed by our treatment by a community they trusted.

Best regards,

Norm Roulet

At the EPA hearing regarding the licensing of MCCO to continue burning coal in University Circle, a citizen testified against burning coal and polluting our neighborhood and submitted into her record the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, with great impact and presence

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (commonly abbreviated as the CRC, CROC, or UNCRC) is a human rights treaty setting out the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of children. The Convention generally defines a child as any human being under the age of eighteen, unless an earlier age of majority is recognized by a country's law.

Nations that ratify this convention are bound to it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.

Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Conpootion and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child). It came into force on 2 September 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. As of November 2009, 194 countries have ratified it including every member of the United Nations except Somalia and the United States. Somalia's cabinet ministers have announced plans to ratify the treaty.

Contents

The Convention deals with the child-specific needs and rights. It requires that states act in the best interests of the child. This approach is different from the common law approach found in many countries that had previously treated children and wives as possessions or chattels, ownership of which was often argued over in family disputes.

The preemption doctrine requires the Federal Government to have an established and pervasive pattern of regulation in the subject matter at issue.

In many jurisdictions, properly implementing the Convention requires an overhaul of child custody and guardianship laws, or, at the very least, a creative approach within the existing laws. The Convention acknowledges that every child has certain basic rights, including the right to life, his or her own name and identity, to be raised by his or her parents within a family or cultural grouping and have a relationship with both parents, even if they are separated.

The Convention obliges states to allow parents to exercise their parental responsibilities. The Convention also acknowledges that children have the right to express their opinions and to have those opinions heard and acted upon when appropriate, to be protected from abuse or exploitation, to have their privacy protected and requires that their lives not be subject to excessive interference.

The Convention also obliges signatory states to provide separate legal representation for a child in any judicial dispute concerning their care and asks that the child's viewpoint be heard in such cases. The Convention forbids capital punishment for children.

In its General Comment 8 (2000) the Committee on the Rights of the Child stated that there was an "obligation of all States parties to move quickly to prohibit and eliminate all corporal punishment and all other cruel or degrading forms of punishment of children". Article 19 of the Convention states that State Parties must "take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence", but makes no explicit reference to corporal punishment.

The European Court of Human Rights has made reference to the Convention when interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights.
