Norm--Chris reminds me that it took Einstein years of working in obscurity to finally get recognition for his ideas...I suppose you should take the attitude that imitation is the sincerest form of praise, but these spin-offs are just that...spinning...spinning..around and around...to nowhere.

Over the past 20 years, I've spent most of my "professional" time as an entrepreneur, with world-class expertise conducting multi-dimensional, multi-client relational comparative data and best practice analyses of any aspects of the world's largest and best global enterprises, environments and systems, and developing and consulting on innovations and total quality improvement. This work has generated a wealth of knowledge on large general systems, with a unique expertise in information systems and telecommunications. REALNEO is a product of this highest level expertise, drawn from the best practices of the best organizations on Earth. What REALNEO has developed for Cuyahoga County - what has been generated out of the REALNEO-generated Real Cooperative - takes general systems innovation to a whole new level of making us the brightest greenest place on Earth. So, we really do have a purpose to Cuyahoga County owning the Breuer, and the vision is beautifully expressed in this great rendering above, to be REAL COOP citizen headquarters of the open source capital of this brightest greenest state of Earth.
Content management, resource distribution, healthy food production and shifting society towards sustainability--all discussed tonight as part of the REAL COOP agenda. It's not an easy concept to get off the ground.

It is well documented, but little referenced and intentionally overlooked by modern newspaper editors and their PR-stitutes... the origin of the use of the word spam, beyond for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat" (now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat") is documented as: "Correspondant Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty Python by at least ten years. He cites an editor for the Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it would stick to the unwary passersby."

Being caught 'brown handed' is like getting caught red handed except that you are caught being a pollut-o-crat.....as in brown fields and and as in the antithesis of Green.
In an effort to continue to clean up our city, our roving patrol at BSI captured another photo of a local business polluting our great land. See Buckeye Sustainability Institute' NorthCoast Green Spieler Blog for the hot shot!
Plan a time to meet your friends at the Inner Circle, during these open hours. Bring flashlights, cameras, and open minds... plan and dress for the weather, as the site is large and areas may be wet. Friday, the weather should be perfect... we'll have some food from Hot Sauce Williams available Friday afternoon... perhaps some live entertainment... see more about the complex here: http://realneo.us/Star-complex-unique

It takes a world renowned visionary and creative genius like Richard Fleischman to take the complexities of saving and transforming our regional economy, landscape and society and express that in one clear, elegant statement.
The Vision for Cuyahoga County is clear - The world's first "Digital City" and the "Greenest Place On Earth".

Norm Roulet - November 5, 2001, Opinion Editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Joe Frolik's Oct. 21 (2001) column, "The high-tech route to City Hall," finally starts focusing attention on the Cleveland area's only hope for economic and social renewal: information technology.
Independent studies prove Cleveland is deficient in its use of information technology in government and in supporting the needs and interests of citizens. As a result, the community and the local economy have suffered.
Cleveland must move to the forefront of the information technology revolution by doing two things quickly and effectively:
