Industrial, office real estate data show lifeVacancies drop in both areas, with downtown Cleveland the hottest
By STAN BULLARD 4:30 am, January 7, 2013
Northeast Ohio's industrial real estate market continued humming, and the long-dour office market gained a bit of spark last year, according to new statistics from the Cleveland office of the Newmark Grubb Knight Frank brokerage.
A combination of attractive rental rates and a desire among employers to help their recruiting by locating near entertainment and downtown apartments attractive to younger employees is boosting downtown's currency with business owners, Mr. Nosal said.
Although there are positive developments downtown, challenges loom. A big one is the pending exit of Eaton Corp.'s headquarters from downtown to a new office campus in Beachwood. The shift will put 300,000 square feet at Eaton Center, 1111 Superior Ave., on the market. PRINTED FROM: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20130107/SUB1/301079974/1072/TOC&template=printart |

why ads?For 2013, Kia offers its Idle Stop and Go (ISG) technology as part of the Rio EX's Eco package. ISG automatically shuts down the engine when stopped and then restarts it once the gas pedal is depressed. Also new are steering-wheel paddle shifters on the Rio SX.
The Kia Rio has been completely revamped for 2012 and has an even lower price tag. It's still available as a 4-door sedan, but adds a 5-door hatchback design, both of which sport a new look, a new engine and enough tech-savvy features to make others in its class jealous.
Consumers on budgets have learned that finding a new car for under $12,000 is not easy. And finding one with standard front and rear side-curtain airbags and a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty leaves only one option: The Kia Rio. The Rio's bargain-basement price doesn't come at the expense of styling or fuel economy. The handsome little four-door is quite the looker, and those willing to spend a bit more cash can equip this little entry-level econobox with such upscale features as power windows, AM/FM/CD stereo and heated outside mirrors. The Rio also makes great strides in refinement over previous models, with more precision in the gearshift, less vibration from under the hood and a higher quality feel both inside and out.

Blood Clots in the Leg Veins
Topic Overview
Blood clots can happen in veins. A blood clot in a vein close to the skin isn't likely to cause problems. But having blood clots in deep veins is called Reference deep vein thrombosis Opens New Window. Deep vein thrombosis happens most often in the legs. This problem can lead to a blood clot in the lung (Reference pulmonary embolism Opens New Window).
The deep veins of the leg have different terms to describe their location:
- Upper (proximal) leg veins are those above the
knee but below the waist.
- Popliteal veins are located behind the knee.
- Iliac and femoral veins are in the groin area.
- Lower (distal) leg veins are those below the knee.
- Distal leg veins are located in the calf and ankle.
A person with a blood clot in a deep upper (proximal) leg vein is at increased risk for a blood clot in the lung or other complications.

Phelps rebounds from Friday with personal best in 200 IM
March 7, 2010
Fourteen-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps came within a half second of the U.S. record in the 200-yard individual medley Saturday, winning in 1 minute, 40.58 seconds in the Maryland swimming championships at the Naval Academy. Phelps had been scheduled to swim in two events Saturday but chose to drop out of the 500 freestyle to concentrate on the 200 IM after swimming a 1:43.99 in his qualifying heat. Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte set the U.S. record of 1:40.08 in the 2007 Short Course Nationals, with Phelps finishing second in 1:41.32. Though he missed breaking Lochte's record, Phelps shaved more than a second off his previous best time of 1:41.6, which he set in 2006. That was a vast improvement from Friday, when Phelps posted a time that was more than three seconds off the U.S. record in the 400-yard IM. "I felt good this morning in the pool. I was able to rest last night, have a good meal, a good night's sleep, and then I was able to come in here and swim my best time by over a second." said Phelps. Phelps is scheduled to swim in the 200 yard butterfly today, a stroke and distance he considers to be his best.

Phelps' winning time was three seconds off the U.S. short-course record of 3:35.98 in the event. "I'm not happy, not at all," Phelps said.

Hoff finished second in the women's 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1 minute, 55.43 seconds; Ariana Kukors of Auburn, Wash., won in 1:55.05.

Phelps looking ahead to better times in 2010
November 24, 2009
Michael Phelps is ready to put an up-and-down post-Olympic year behind him and focus on the challenges that await in 2010, including adjusting to a ban on the high-performance suits that rocked his sport. The 14-time Olympic gold medalist from Baltimore will compete in one final meet, Duel in the Pool on Dec. 18-19 in Manchester, England, before closing out the year. "The biggest thing right now is me getting back in shape," he said. Phelps' recent trip to Europe for two World Cup short-course meets produced a batch of what he described as "pretty awful slow races," resulting in no victories, let alone any records. In preparation for the Jan. 1 ban on high-tech suits, Phelps wore an old-style suit, making him look even slower against his polyurethane-clad competition. "In a way I'm kind of happy that happened, to light the fire a little bit more," he said.
Phelps, Biedermann to meet with much less at stake
November 14, 2009
Paul Biedermann beat Olympic star Michael Phelps to win the gold medal in the 200-meter freestyle at the world championships in Rome in August and the two will contest the same event this weekend at a World Cup meet in Berlin, but the Baltimore resident isn't making a big deal of the rematch. "I'll be the first to admit I'm not in a great shape," said Phelps, who returned to racing this week after a long layoff. "I'll race as hard as I can and whatever happens, happens." Biedermann, a German, is coming off a torn muscle fiber in his left thigh.
Spitz not resentful about Phelps' record gold haul
November 12, 2009
Mark Spitz says he's not bitter about losing swimming's most sacred record to Michael Phelps, who 15 months ago cemented a spot in Olympic history with eight gold medals, one more than Spitz won in 1972. "It's sort of like I'm the first man on the moon," Spitz said. "He's the second man on the moon. He collected more rocks." Phelps of Baltimore also is collecting scrutiny. "Of course, there's a lot of pressure," Spitz said. He said, "Michael is not a perfect person, and neither am I," a reference to Phelps' having been photographed last November inhaling from a marijuana pipe. "People are going to expect a lot from him."
Phelps is 3rd in 100 medley, misses 2 finals in Stockholm
November 11, 2009
Sporting a beard and an old-style swimsuit, Michael Phelps of Baltimore finished third in the 100-meter medley at a World Cup short-course meet in Stockholm, Sweden, after missing out on two other finals Tuesday. Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, swam the medley final in 52.14 seconds. South Africa's Gerhard Zandberg won in 51.77. Earlier Tuesday, Phelps, 24, failed to qualify for the finals of the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke, in which he was disqualified for swimming too long under water. Competing for the first time since the world championships in August, he wore the type of suit that will become the standard next year. Most other swimmers used faster high-tech suits. After the race, he told reporters he was excited to be back racing. "I know I'm not in the best shape and I should be in better shape," Phelps said. "I didn't hit my first wall right, so it's kind of disappointing, but I'm happy overall." He finished 16th in qualifying for the 100 freestyle in 47.77 seconds. Today, Phelps will swim in the 100 butterfly and 200 medley heats. Baltimore's Elizabeth Pelton finished eighth in the women's 200 backstroke in 2:07.91.
Phelps, Hoff among U.S. team members for Duel in the Pool
October 29, 2009
Fells Point resident Michael Phelps and 35 other top American swimmers were picked by USA Swimming to compete against a squad of European swimmers at the 2009 Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool in Manchester, England, on Dec. 18-19. The event, which will be broadcast on NBC on Dec. 27 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m, will star Olympic gold medalists Phelps, Rebecca Soni, Ryan Lochte and Aaron Peirsol. Towson's Katie Hoff will also compete for the U.S. team. This year's event takes on a new format with Team USA facing a team composed of the top swimmers from Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
Phelps leads Golden Goggle nominations with six
October 17, 2009

Olympian Ryan Lochte and Ariana Kukors received four nominations each. Phelps, Lochte and Aaron Peirsol were nominated for Male Athlete of the Year.

Phelps' Speedo contract extended through 2013
September 10, 2009
The swimwear company Speedo announced Wednesday that it is extending its longtime partnership with Olympian Michael Phelps through 2013. As part of his new contract, Speedo said it will donate $10,000 to the Michael Phelps Foundation for every world record Phelps breaks and that Phelps has agreed to match the donation. The terms of Phelps' deal were not released. The swimmer's previous contract with Speedo became famous for a clause that awarded him a $1 million bonus for matching Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games. Phelps did that in 2008 in Beijing, winning the 100-meter butterfly by .01 of a second and earning his eighth gold medal the following night. Phelps, who has been under contract with Speedo since 2001, has remained loyal to the company, choosing to continue wearing Speedo suits this summer at the FINA world championships in Rome even though some swimmers said wearing the Speedo LZR Racer put him at a disadvantage against faster suits. Phelps was outwardly emotional after winning the 100-meter butterfly in Rome, climbing onto the rope line inside the pool and then pointing to the logo on his suit and slapping the water several times in celebration. "Speedo's support both in and out of the pool has helped me grow into the swimmer I am today," Phelps said in a statement. "I am grateful for the brand's commitment to help realize our shared vision to grow the sport of swimming both in the U.S. and around the world."

Hoff and Bowman reached the decision for her to switch coaches, and coasts, this past weekend, he said. "My main concern is that Katie is happy and successful.

Phelps wins 100 freestyle, last race before nationals
June 22, 2009
Michael Phelps swept both events he entered at the Canada Cup in Montreal, though he gave himself a split decision on his performance in his last two races leading up to next month's U.S. nationals. Phelps, who lives in Fells Point, won the 100-meter freestyle Sunday in the pool that hosted the 1976 Olympics after posting a personal best time there in winning Saturday's 100-meter butterfly. His time of 48.65 seconds in the 100 freestyle improved on the 48.87 he swam one week earlier, when he finished second to defending world champion Brent Hayden of Canada in Santa Clara, Calif. "I'm sort of everywhere where I want to be, except in the 100 free," Phelps said. "I want to be faster in that." He hit the first turn in the 100 in 23.59 seconds, 0.20 ahead of Australian Matt Targett. He held on to his margin on the second length but was unable to add much more distance between himself and Targett, who finished second in 48.87. "I wish I could answer the question of what happened in the second 50," Phelps said. "I'm going to watch the video and see what happened with my stroke and if it fell apart or not. The first 50 felt awesome. That's the best my stroke has felt in a race, was the very first lap, and I've just got to work on doing it for the 100's two laps."

Former Hoff coach Yetter named Auburn assistant
May 24, 2009
Paul Yetter, who worked at North Baltimore Aquatic Club since 2001 and was an assistant coach with the 2008 U.S. women's Olympic team, has been named an assistant coach with the Auburn swimming and diving program. At NBAC, Yetter coached Katie Hoff, who during the 2007-08 season set 11 American records in nine different events and won three Olympic medals before switching to Bob Bowman, Michael Phelps' coach, after the Games. Yetter was an assistant at NBAC under Bowman before becoming the lead coach at the club's Harford County site from 2002 to 2004. Since 2004, Yetter has served as the club's senior elite coach. Before joining NBAC, Yetter was head coach at Bel Air Aquatic Club.
Phelps finishes second to Bousquet in 100 free
May 18, 2009
Two days, two losses for Michael Phelps. The Fells Point resident was beaten again at the Charlotte (N.C.) UltraSwim, losing to French star Frederick Bousquet in the 100-meter freestyle Sunday night. Phelps touched nearly a full second behind Bousquet, world-record holder in the 50 free, after losing his first final in nearly a year the previous night. Aaron Peirsol beat Phelps in the 200 backstroke. Bousquet went out strong, ensuring he had a big enough lead to hold off Phelps at the end - even as the winningest Olympian ever experimented with a new straight-arm stroke that is supposed to provide more speed. The Frenchman touched in 48.22 seconds, while Phelps never really had a chance and finished second in 49.04. "The biggest thing that killed me were my turns and my finishes," said Phelps, who holds the American record in the 100 free at 47.51. "I'm not disappointed with that time, but the finish was awful. There's small things I need to work on. But overall, it was a good meet." The North Carolina meet was his first since capturing a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.

Phelps to try new freestyle technique
April 23, 2009
Michael Phelps is following up his record performance at the Beijing Olympics by changing some of the swimming technique that carried him to eight gold medals. As the Baltimore resident shifts to focusing on shorter races, he hopes the new freestyle technique will increase his sprinting speed. "You'll all have to see. I'm not saying anything until we unveil it," Phelps said in New York when asked how he has tweaked the stroke. "It's a significant change." Phelps will reveal the new technique when he returns to competition at the Charlotte (N.C.) UltraSwim on May 14-17 in North Carolina, his first meet since Beijing. He plans to swim four events, including the 100- and 200-meter free and the 100 butterfly.
Lil E. Tee, winner of '92 Derby, dead
March 24, 2009
Lil E. Tee, who upset heavily favored Arazi to win the 1992 Kentucky Derby, has died. He was 20. The horse was euthanized Wednesday at Old Frankfort Stud in Lexington, Ky. Farm owner Jim Plemmons said the horse fell ill last month after an operation to repair an obstructed bowel and struggled to recover. Under jockey Pat Day, Lil E. Tee, at 17-1, roared past the front-runners at Churchill Downs, including European star Arazi, to win the Derby by a length. It marked the only Derby victory of Day's Hall of Fame career. But Lil E. Tee's winning time of 2minutes, 3seconds over a fast track was considered slow, and most of the aftermath was spent wondering what went wrong with Arazi, who faded to eighth. Lil E. Tee's bid for a Triple Crown ended when he took fifth at the Preakness Stakes. He skipped the Belmont Stakes because of a lung infection. He retired with seven wins in 13 career starts.
Phelps follows 'heart' back into pool
March 23, 2009
Michael Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics last summer, and several other Americans are in the middle of a two-week training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., for this summer's national and world championships. They're in the pool twice a day, at 7a.m. and 5p.m., and spent part of one day training with U.S. Navy SEALs. Phelps, a Baltimore resident, said all the scrutiny over a photo that surfaced in early February of him inhaling from a marijuana pipe hadn't taken away his motivation. Phelps was suspended for three months by USA Swimming and has lost two major sponsors. "It's all really about what's in your heart, and that's why I'm back in the pool," said Phelps, who plans to return to competition May 14-17 at the Charlotte (N.C.) UltraSwim.
Spitz says he feels sorry for Phelps
March 17, 2009
Mark Spitz says he feels badly for Michael Phelps. Spitz, whose record of seven gold medals at the 1972 Olympics was broken when Phelps won eight last year, talked briefly about Phelps last night while in Little Rock, Ark., for a speaking engagement. Phelps has been at the center of controversy after a photo surfaced showing the swimming star with a marijuana pipe. "As a fan, I feel sorry and I feel badly for him at this time," Spitz said. "Nobody would want to wish that upon him, I'm sure. He's obviously dealing with it in a way that he feels appropriate, and I'm not one to comment on whether it's right or wrong because I'm not with his management team."
Phelps appears to be aiming for '12 Games
March 14, 2009
Michael Phelps believes he can maintain his passion for competition through the 2012 Olympics, the swimmer said yesterday in an interview on NBC's Today show. Phelps seemed to indicate that he's leaning toward competing in the London Games, something he was uncertain about after a photo of him inhaling from a marijuana pipe appeared in a British tabloid. "There are still things I want to achieve, things I want to accomplish," Phelps told Matt Lauer. Lauer also asked Phelps whether he had used marijuana, but the 14-time Olympic gold medalist did not answer the question directly. "It was a bad mistake," he said. "I mean, we all know what, you know, what you and I are talking about." More than a month after the photo appeared, Phelps said he regrets hurting those close to him more than losing sponsorship money. (Cereal giant Kellogg decided not to continue its relationship with the swimmer.) The rest of the interview will air tomorrow at 7p.m. on Dateline. Phelps is still serving a three-month suspension from USA Swimming because of the photo. CHILDS WALKER

Michael Phelps has been dropped as the keynote speaker at two events in Canada next week, with the promoter citing the Olympic champion swimmer's "widely publicized alleged use of marijuana."

IOC head says Phelps deserves second chance
February 21, 2009
International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said swimming star Michael Phelps failed in his duty as a role model but deserves a second chance after being photographed with a marijuana pipe. Rogge said Phelps' apology and promise not to do it again earned him the benefit of the doubt. Phelps, who lives in Baltimore, won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. The 23-year-old was suspended by the U.S. swimming federation for three months after a British newspaper published the photo of Phelps holding the pipe at a party in South Carolina.

February 12, 2009

The Chinese-language newspaper Southern Metropolis Daily said the Web sites had received the statement from automaker Mazda, which is reported to be paying Phelps more than $1million to endorse the car brand in China.

February 11, 2009

"Michael is concentrating on swimming this week," CNBC said a spokesman from Octagon, Phelps' management company, told the media outlet.

IBM announced in October that Phelps would be a guest speaker at the IBM Pulse 2009 Conference, organized by the company for its employees and business partners.
Phelps back in China to boost carmaker
January 12, 2009
The global economic slump has affected China's car market. But Mazda is counting on swimming phenom Michael Phelps to rev up the carmaker's bottom line. The Baltimore resident is back in Beijing - where he made Olympic history - to do TV commercials for Mazda, which is reported to be paying him more than $1 million to endorse the brand in China. It's believed to be the largest single sponsorship deal for a foreign celebrity in the country. Mazda vice president Yu Hongjiang said he was certain Phelps would help sell cars in China's growing car market. "We have very strong confidence in him," Yu said. "But there is no doubt this will be successful. ... Currently in China, nobody has the reputation that Phelps has." Besides filming commercials and doing photo shoots, Phelps is also slated to return to the Water Cube - where he won a record eight gold medals during the August Games - before he leaves China. "Hopefully I'll get a few workouts in before I go home," he said. "And then once I get back home it's time to get back in the water and really start to train for the next four years." He's expected to resume serious training before the month ends and is likely to work on some new events heading into this summer's world championships in Rome. Phelps said returning to China stirred emotions. "Driving around today on the roads - sort of seeing some landmarks I saw - really just brings back more and more memories," he said.

AboutOfficials, many of which are volunteers, play a critical role in young athletes achieving their goals and dreams. The USSA sanctions over 4,000 individual competitions annually and provides an educational system for over 5,600 USSA officials. Those competitions would not be possible without the time from those dedicated officials and other competition volunteers. This section of ussa.org provides information for those wishing to get started, as well as valuable resources for existing officials in all USSA sports. Getting StartedWhy become a USSA official? Taking part as a competition official is exciting -- it brings you into the heart of the action!

7. | down the shore | ||
when you go to the shore, mainly said if you live in northern jersey. if you actually live dts, then you just say "im going to the shore", because your already down there.
(it is not called the beach) girl: "lets go party it up down the shore!"
1. | down the shore | ||
1.) Where folks from Phila. and southeastern PA go during the summer.
2.) The Jersey shore. Rocky: "Yo, where you goin' this weekend?"
Adrian: "I'm goin' down the shore to my condo in Wildwood." Mick: "Just watch out for all the bums parked in traffic on the Schuylkill and the ACX." |

What people here in New Jersey call going to the beach. What some people don't get, however, is that this is more the term used to discribe the trip taken while going "down the shore" from your home in an inland county or town. The drive to whichever beach town you are going to be spending time in is going down the shore, but once you're there you simply go to the beach. Now that we're down the shore, let's head to the beach.
3. | down the shore | ||
What everyone from Jersey and Pennsylvania calls going to the beach. Don't tell me people for Jersey don't say this cause I lived here all my life and trust me 97% of the people call it the shore. the other 3% being transplants from other states. There is nothing wrong with calling it the beach. Honestly I like the term beach better but it doesn't matter. La playa, shore, beach. whatever you call it it is fucking awesome. Californian: Dude let's go to the beach
Jersian: Yo let's go down the shore Mexican: Porque no vamos ir a la playa? |
4. | down the shore | ||
This term is used by people in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware "tri-state area" to describe the general vicinity of the coastal barrier islands in relation to inland locations. People not familiar with the barrier islands of the mid-Atlantic coast are often confused by this term. "Why not just call it 'the beach'?" they say. This question reflects ignorance of the mid-Atlantic geography where the barrier islands form pleasant beach-fronts and bay-fronts both. Because of the narrow shape of these islands, one can easily access the beach and the bay, where there are different views and recreation activities available. So, when someone from, for example, Philly travels to the coast, they are not necessarily going to "the beach". They are going "down the shore". When they arrive to the barrier island and they roll down the windows and smell that salty breeze, they are "down the shore". Phone conversation:
"Hey, are you going down the shore this weekend?" "Well, actually, I'm down the shore right now! But yeah, I'll be down here this weekend too! Maybe we can go to the beach. Maybe we can go to the bay for a bit and watch the sunset. Maybe we could go to the boardwalk, get some salt water taffy, fries and pizza perhaps. Play some mini-golf, you know. Whatever we decide to do, it's gonna be great, cause we'll be DOWN THE SHORE the whole time!" |

If you are from New Jersey the term "DOWN THE SHORE" means going to a shore town for more than just the beach. If you are simply going to the beach, you say "going to the beach". If you are going "down the shore" you are going to hang out on the boardwalk and hit up the bars at night. Let's go down the shore to go to the beach, hang out on the boardwalk, and hit up Bar A at night.
6. | Down the Shore | ||
Down the shore is the term used by people from New Jersey - specifically Northern Jersey (away from the shore area) - to describe going to the beach areas. Since New Jersey's beaches are all in the central and southern parts of the state rather than the Northern part of the state, which is blocked by New York City so there are no beaches, going "down the shore" means you're heading south. That's where the "down" part comes from. People who live near the beach wouldn't say "down the shore" because they're already living in that area. Once at the shore, if you're going to the beach you would just say "I'm going to the beach". But the term "down the shore" actually just refers to heading south towards the shore points on the New Jersey coast, or to the general shore area, because the Jersey Shore is more than beaches. It is also made up of boardwalks (with rides, food, water parks), bays, lagoons, many restaurants, etc. So if you are just going to hang out in those areas, you would probably just say "down the shore". Girl from North Jersey: I'm going down the shore for July Fourth weekend!
Guy from North Jersey: Cool! What are you guys planning on doing down there? Girl from North Jersey: You know, go to the beach, hang out on the boardwalk, go on some rides. The usual stuff. |

Easy Dust Removal
October 14, 2010 5 Comments
Capture One 5 PRO Lens toolWorks for all supported RAW files on DSLRs and digital Backs
• Often you first discover you had dust on the sensor when returning from a shoot.
• Dust spots can be removed manually by using Capture One 5 PRO's Dust Tool. With the Capture One 5.2 PRO "dust removal" feature found in the Lens Tool, you can now automate this otherwise tedious task.
• You need a reference shot of an opal diffusion glass/filter made with the particular lens used for the shoot.
On location shoot
This technique is especially easy to use when working with prime lenses. It is important that the reference image of the opal diffusion glass is captured using the same lens and identical lens settings (aperture and focus distance) as used when shooting the images you want to correct.
For landscape I will always use my primes at the f-stops where they perform best – typically around f/8. I will stick with that f-stop for the entire shoot. When using identical lens settings the position of the dust spots in the reference image and the real images should be the same.
In my experience the dust actually stays in the same positions even after I have been moving around with my camera for a day. However, if you want to be safe – take a reference shoot for every shoot location. When shooting the reference shoot set the lensto manual focus to ensure the same focus distance as for the real images.
Lens tool in Capture One 5 PRO
When shooting the reference shot hold the plate close to the lens. Notice the dust spots on the image to the right (the reference shot displayed in Capture One). With dust spots of this magnitude you should consider cleaning the sensor.
Removing dust spots with Capture One
1. Select the reference shoot of the opal diffusion glass
2. For an easier work flow rename the reference file so the name reflects the lens name and f-stop.
3. Go to the Lens tool and Select "Analyze" from the LCC (Lens Cast Correction) Drop Down Menu. The LCC file is by default named after the reference file. The LCC file now holds information about color cast, light fall-off and dust for the combined camera and lens setup.
4. Enable the "Dust removal" checkbox. The visual dust spots on the reference shoot is automatically removed.
5. Now select your real image and select the LCC file you have just created. Enable the "Dust removal" checkbox and the dust spots are automatically removed.
