Newsmaker: Dan Moore, businessman. He decided not to run for Mayor of Cleveland, but he still has some ideas on how he’d run the city if he had the job; and he wants the people running for the office to consider making those ideas their own. He’ll discuss his ideas with Feagler and talk about how he intends to keep them on the front burner.

Roundtable panelists: Mike Walker, Partnership for a Safer Cleveland; Deborah Burstion-Donbraye, GOP political consultant; Elizabeth Sullivan, foreign affairs writer, The Plain Dealer.

No Panhandling: City officials fed up with the antics of aggressive beggars are drawing a line on the sidewalk. Cleveland city council approved a law declaring panhandlers have to stay at least 20 feet away from ATM’s and bus stops and they’re barred from hanging out too close to restaurant and parking lot entrances. Opponents say the law is unenforceable.

Lowdown on Throwdown Lands Ump, Coach in Court: Youth baseball umpire and a coach face charges in court after an on-field dust-up turned into a full-fledged rhubarb. The coach objected to the umpire ejecting his son from the game and angry words led to a physical tussle. Prosecutors say they were both to blame and both might face fines.

G-8 Summit: The Plain Dealer’s Elizabeth Sullivan is just back from the meeting involving leaders of the world’s richest nations. What they agreed on was lost in the aftermath of the London terrorist bombings. At the summit, the leaders agreed to provide more help to Africa and generally managed to avoid the anti-globalization protesters outside.

Wasting Time: The average American worker admits to frittering away two hours-a-day, mostly schmoozing and cruising the Internet (this figure does not include lunch or scheduled break time). So, employers are paying out three-quarters of a trillion dollars-a-year for work they’re not getting. A study by Salary.com says the younger a worker is, the more time he wastes.
