Retailers worry about loss of another elite store
This kind of store sounds like a very specialized type of store. It would not rely on foot traffic or location as its means of attracting business. Instead it would rely on targeted advertisement and reputation. This store stayed downtown out of ease. Why more when it matters not where their store is (with in reason). I would bet their rent went up, or property taxes went up if they own, or they wanted a newer facility. I really doubt they left because of downtown. If we really ask why, I think the answer is they felt slighted. Saks got help, and they got the cold shoulder.

Hot Seat Notes:
Kathy Wilson gives her support to the "Moratorium" meeting while appearing on Hot Seat. Kathy also named an up and comer for 2003 and it was Jason Fagone of Cincinnati Magazine. I am currently reading his two articles in the January issue, and hope to have a few comments posted in the next few days.
Eric Kearney also stated there were 600 shootings last year in Cincinnati and 70% were blacks? WOW, that is a huge number of shootings. I wonder if that included all from the county or the metro area. I think his source was from University Hospital, so that might include shootings never getting reported to the police. The number that he was not able to report was how many of the 600 shooters were blacks? The percentage would likely be 70% or higher. The figure was also missing from other year-end summaries of the races of homicide victims.
No one appears to be updating Hot Seat’s website to often, it has a limited description of the show and lists only the regular panelists.

Spiced Sass goes on a tear with a rehash of the riots while discussing the "moratorium" and harps on the downtown decline of retail.
City to Congress: Where's our money?
Why not just say it like you mean it Chaz: "SHOW ME THE MONEY." If that does not get their attention, nothing will. Well, Charlie Luken would be lucky to get Rep. Chabot or Rep. Portman to return his phone calls, let alone come through with Federal dollars for Cincinnati. Portman and Chabot are in safe districts and don't need to be prodded by the GOP leadership to vote with them. Therefore Cincinnati will get nothing and better like it, or we will less than nothing.

Cincinnati's mean streets: 65 lives in 365 days
One big problem with this list. When the alleged murders are listed, the race of them is not identified, but the victim's race is identified. I realize most of these are unsolved and not know, but why not list a description of the person(s) wanted? It is a common belief that the media tends to hide or shield the race of alleged criminals, but in this case when providing a summary, why not include the information? Why also doesn't the Post or the Enquirer keep a running report of the victims and alleged or accused perpetrators of crimes? In the age of the Internet, why isn't the police blotter online? Maybe the CPD should publish its crime reports? No, they couldn't do that. Well, if the County Clerk can do, why can't the CPD? Why didn't the collaborative agreement include such a thing? If people think the police are coving up incidents, why not put it all on the Internet? They don't have to include evidence, but they can at least say what happened, whom it happened to, and who was arrested for it.

Undercover drug officer stabbed in possible 'hit'
The headline and the story are misleading. If the officer had just left the FOP gym I would assume he was not undercover. He works undercover, but if he was attacked 13 minutes after he left the FOP lodge, I would logically surmise he was not undercover. I am not sure if the media is playing this story up into a real life cop show, or if they are misunderstanding the terminology the police are referring to with terms like "undercover." The next thing I might see is a reference on one of the Local TV News (infotainment) broadcasts comparing this inducement to the police in the upcoming moving NARC. I sometimes can't tell if local TV news gets pointers from the folks at E! or not.

Notes to the Media:
Buckeyes Win Title, Ending Miami's Streak
No, Miami University lost 5 games this year.
Ohio State Tops Miami in Thrilling Double-Overtime Fiesta Bowl
Miami University did not play in the Fiesta Bowl. Miami; at 7-5 was passed over for a bowl game by the BCS Machine.
Buckeyes Upset Miami to Take Title
Miami University did not play Ohio State this year, all though both schools do play every year in Hockey where they battle for the Ohio Cup.
Miami QB struggles in final game
Ben Roethlisberger did struggle in his final game against UCF, but that game was over a month ago.
Bottom Line:
Miami is in Ohio, Coral Gables is in Florida.
