Twenty pairs of eyes eagerly converge on Jennifer Larcey as the afternoon science lesson gets under way at Bassett Elementary in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Sure, the transfixed first-graders are salivating at the prospect of examining--and tasting--the physical properties of peanuts, raisins and M&Ms. But something else is riveting the kids, even as Larcey stands to the side of the room issuing directions: the breathtaking clarity of her voice. "Feel the peanuts, and try to describe the texture," she instructs...
Mike Benz saw that in 1995 when he took the reins at United Way of Greater Cleveland, which he says had grown sleepy and out of touch. "Our volunteers today are partners and owners," he says. "They make real decisions and have a hand in where nearly $40 million goes...
...April, the construction of the first "Immersive Virtual Reality Cave Simulator" (IVR-Cave) at the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center was completed and is expected to open to patients in fall 2006, after going through Case Western's internal review board.

...last week's coverage of the controversy concerning the planet Pluto that brought Cleveland to mind (and, no, not because of his physique; that was Taft). Much the way 19th century pundits no doubt fought over which numeral to assign the inconveniently nonconsecutive Cleveland, astronomers have spent the past few years debating whether or not Pluto is in fact a planet or whether new findings place it in a family of smaller, humbler objects. The problem is more complex than just firing a planet and downsizing the solar system from nine to eight. If you keep your definitions loose enough...
