On August 1, the City of Cleveland started slapping fines on residents who can't get recycling right. Tossing the wrong trash into the recycling bin can resuilt in a $100 fine. The fines come after a two-year grace period meant to give residents time to learn the right way to recycle. The folks in charge of recycling for the city discuss the rationale behind the approach. Later, a new study finds redlight cameras don't make streets safer. Plus, Ohio State puts Urban Meyer on paid leave.

On Twitter, Aiden said: "Now THIS is how you put together a panel on women's issues. Thanks for facilitating this important discussion."
