The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. Regular exercise can improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress and anxiety, boost mood, and reduce the risk of diseases. It recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to gain these benefits.

Gene therapy shows promise for treating cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. Researchers have conducted over 25 clinical trials using viral vectors like adenovirus to deliver functioning CFTR genes directly to the lungs, but trials were unsuccessful due to immune responses. More recent trials use non-viral gene therapy approaches like nebulizer sprays of liposome-encapsulated CFTR plasmid DNA, which show better results by avoiding immune system activation. Gene therapy aims to complement current cystic fibrosis treatments that manage symptoms but do not cure the underlying genetic cause of disease.

2. It is with pride that we provide you with our annual report for 2013.
Gateway Economic Development Corporation of Greater Cleveland
(Gateway) was formed in 1990 by the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga
County, for the purposes of financing, building, owning, and operating
the Gateway Sports Complex in downtown Cleveland.
Gateway owns Quicken Loans Arena, Progressive Field and surrounding
common areas, including Gateway Plaza along Ontario Avenue.
Gateway’s lease agreements with the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland
Cavaliers, as revised and extended in 2004 and 2007, facilitate Gateway’s
ability to continue as a good steward of these two tremendous buildings,
as it has been for a generation.
The leases with the Indians and the Cavaliers require the teams to pay for
the operating and maintenance costs of their respective facilities, many of
the capital repair costs, as well as all of the cost of operating the Gateway
Corporation. Gateway’s responsibilities – pursuant to a budget agreed upon
annually with the teams and financed by team rental payments - includes
common area maintenance, insurance, security and oversight of the
maintenance and capital repairs of the ballpark and the arena, ensuring that
Gateway’s facilities are maintained to guarantee their long-term viability.
As a result, the ballpark and the arena are today in excellent condition.
They will continue to be maintained aggressively and thoroughly as they
have been since they opened in 1994. Major capital needs will eventually
arise (those costing over $500,000 generally) and under the term leases the
responsibility for those major capital repairs is Gateway’s. In 2012 Gateway’s
Board of Trustees enacted a policy governing the management of
procedures related to team requests for the funding of major capital repair
items. The Policy provides for rigorous Gateway review of such requests
and collaboration with our public stakeholders, the City of Cleveland and
Cuyahoga County, regarding the treatment of each request.
DEAR CITIZENS OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY,
3. Since 1994, more than 75 million tickets have been sold for
sporting events, concerts and shows at Gateway. The complex
– constructed in what had been a blighted part of downtown
Cleveland – has proven to be a rejuvenating economic catalyst.
It has generated jobs, a new residential Gateway neighborhood,
as well as millions of dollars in tax revenue for our local
governments. On game nights the area around Gateway is
abuzz with activity in nearby restaurants, hotels, taverns, and
other downtown businesses.
Great strides have been made in 2013 by both teams to bring
dynamic events to their facilities. Quicken Loans Arena started
off this year’s events with a heightened level of high-profile
concerts played at their facility including Justin Timberlake and
Pink. The Cleveland Cavaliers’exciting, young roster offers great
promise of future playoff years.
The Cleveland Indians had an amazing year in baseball
picking up some brand new talent to the team. The team
was outstanding and took its fans to the Wild Card game in
the American League. The buzz around the team was like that
of the 1990’s era.
It is our pleasure to share this report with you. We can all be
proud that Cleveland and Northeast Ohio have such an excellent
major league sports complex that complements our City’s other
great attractions and cultural institutions.
Respectfully,
Timothy P. Offtermatt Todd Greathouse
CHAIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
GATEWAY’S MISSION
The Gateway Sports Complex is a year-round
customer service complex dedicated to

5. September On September 1, the Indians salvaged their final
game of the season against Detroit, 4-0 on a
Mike Aviles grand slam.
Indians #2 starter, Ubaldo Jimenez, stepped up in
Masterson’s absence going 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA
during the month of September. He was named
American League Pitcher of the Month.
The Indians played some of their best baseball
of the season in September, going 21-6 in the
month, including a 10-game winning streak to
close the season.
Throughout the month, the Indians closed the
gap on the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays
and took the lead for one of the wild card spots
with about a week left in the regular season.
The Indians finished the season 92-70, which
was good enough for the top wild card spot,
which meant they would host the 2013 American
League Wild Card Game at Progressive Field.
On September 24, Jason Giambi hit a walk-off
home run against the White Sox, again becoming
the oldest player ever to hit a walk-off home run
at 42 years and 259 days, breaking the record he
set less than two months earlier.

pitcher Justin Masterson were named to the American

The sweep of Chicago was the Tribe’s second four-
game sweep over the White Sox of the season, marking
the first time since 1960 that the Indians swept two
four-game series from the same club. In the July 29 win
over the White Sox, slugger Jason Giambi became the
oldest player ever to hit a walk-off home run at 42 years
and 202 days. Chris Perez regained his closing duties in
July and saved eight games.
