	New Week, Same Complaint? Last week, the Akron Beacon Journal had some strong words for the Sheriff and progress -- or lack of -- in the jailhouse death of inmate Mark McCullaugh. Something tells me they won't be very happy with this week's news, either. read more "New Week, Same Complaint?"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	Feeling Light Headed I guess I should be honored. After all, it isn't every day a national political figure reaches out with a "personal" letter. Let there be Light! read more "Feeling Light Headed"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	Conversations With Malcolm, Part 1 I had a chance to talk with author Malcolm Gladwell during his recent visit to Akron as part of the University of Akron speaker series at E.J. Thomas. Gladwell can be considered a "deep thinker" in terms of the way he writes about the way we think. read more "Conversations With Malcolm, Part 1"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	Wishing Matt Well In the old days, rival media outlets never mentioned each other. You still see some of this today in the way some newspapers imagine their readers don't watch news the night before on television, or the way some television stations imagine their viewers don't listen to the radio at work, or the way some radio stations think their listeners live in dark caves until turning the knob. Glad those days are changing. read more "Wishing Matt Well"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	Doing It Jack's Way "Final Edition" may be prophetic in describing not only the Knight brothers Jack and Jim but also the world they left behind. read more "Doing It Jack's Way"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	Most Wanted: An Investigation Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...Akron's version of the political Great White Shark swims back along the beachfront. In this case, the shark description doesn't point to an individual -- I'd like to make that clear from the outset. It describes what has become the norm, the style, the tone of political discourse in Akron magnified by the latest chapter from the Mayor's office. What we need is more investigation read more "Most Wanted: An Investigation"... link to post \| (comments: 2)

	Is A Little Quiet Asking Too Much? With three weeks to go before elections impacting city council seats across the region; school board races determining the direction local education of our kids should take; whether or not we can bet on Ohio or even assure that lump of chicken on our plates was treated humanely -- what is it we're talking about? What kind of driver is Mayor Plusquellic? read more "Is A Little Quiet Asking Too Much?"... link to post \| (comments: 1)

	When Cops Lie It doesn't happen very often. Police, for the most part, are trained to be trusted by the public. By the news media. Even by suspects of crimes. The actions of the Sheriff in Larimer County, Colorado in leading the media to report law enforcement didn't question "balloon boy" as a hoax calls into question the actions of his department in providing credible information to the public. What comes first? read more "When Cops Lie"... link to post \| (no comments yet)

	VIDEO Just A Thought Here... Please tell me if this was YOUR kid, or you were doing the interview, you would do the following: 1. At least ask during the interview if the boy needs help? 2. Tell the interviewer your kids need to get off-camera? This thing just keeps getting more strange by the minute... read more "VIDEO Just A Thought Here..."... link to post \| (no comments yet)
