Apr 16, 20139After being very disappointed with MW3, I was hesitant to put my money back in the COD franchise. I am glad that I did. Black Ops 2 has been a very solid and enjoyable experience. I love the level of customization for load outs and that above all else, sets this game apart from the rest of the COD titles.
Nov 14, 201210Black Ops 2 is honestly the best COD to date. I have no idea why some people are giving it such low scores. Amazing campaign w/ multiple endings + new futuristic weapons + "Tranzit" mode for zombies = Best COD ever.

Mar 3, 201310Treyarch and Activision made a wonderful game Call of Duty Black Ops 1 but also this game was really good. The whole Call of Duty series is good personally MW2 was the best.

Nov 13, 20129Online is a blast zombies better than ever, a great change of pace. If you love the series you'll defiantly love this entry. Haven't delved into the campaign but we know what we're here for.

Nov 14, 201210The is the best of the Call of duty Games in the franchise. Brilliant story line the best multiplayer around. Zombies is also another nice edition offering some of the best maps so far as well as the new transit mode. Overall this is an epic game that deserves praise for changing the series more than the any other call of duty games apart from Call of duty 4.

Nov 13, 20129This game does not deserve the user rating it currently has. Don't listen to the user reviews. They are simply a bunch of angry nerds (I use the term nerd loosely.) that were going to rage no matter how good the game was and haven't actually played the game. This game is very enjoyable and is certainly an improvement upon last year's MW3.
Jan 16, 201310For as long as I can remember, I was one of the many detractors of the Call of Duty series, even though I never played a single installment. There was just something about Activision
Nov 18, 201210greatest shooting game ever created in the history of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nov 25, 20129
Jan 29, 20139This game is a nice change in CoD franchise, most the people giving it real low scores are talking about the campaign, who plays campaigns anymore? I will tell you who the garbage gamers. The multiplayer is spot on and fun to play, the only people who generally diss it are baddies with .65 K/D ratios who rage quit because they are once again garbage gamers!

Nov 13, 20129First good COD in years. Campaign had a great story and actually made me care. Great gameplay. All the good stuff. Only downside is strategy missions. I really didn't like controls and AI in them.

Nov 14, 201210Great Game, im guessing the people giving out Zero's haven't even played it. Happens every year, for some reason alot of people get offended by a popular game and a company making money, i think thats what companies are supposed to do.
Anyway dont let these immature people deter you from buying it, lots of fun. -
Nov 13, 201210
Nov 16, 201210Best game of the year so far!!
Unlike Mw3, Black ops 2 is a completely new game
looks like its been created with its intended audience in mind ... Adults!
Totally Flawless online experience :) -
Feb 12, 20139Revamped MP and a host of new features makes this the best since COD4. The scorestreaks stops the kill whoring and returns the game to a fair playing field. The only let down is the sniping/quickscoping. It's too easy for any idiot to pick up and 'snipe'. Apart from that, EXCELLENT.
Nov 13, 20129Whoa. Been waiting for this call of duty game for a while. Big improvement in the overall series. (No I'm not a fan boy; I play Halo all the time. I just love good shooters)

Jan 28, 201310Pwrfect campaign the multiplayer it so good the zombies its so nice too but when call of duty will change this old engine to the cod series it will have to be change
May 11, 201310The call of duty is my favoruite FPS serial.And this game brings a possibility to choose a one of the 5 ends.This isn't a best Cod,but it's very good because it brings lot of new things in CoD series,like a optional Strike Force missions,5 ways to end a game,two stories and more.

Nov 15, 201210
Nov 14, 20129
Apr 27, 20139The multilayer was the same as other CoD games more or less, but the singleplayer is where this game truly shines, the first CoD game to ever have multiple endings.
Go Treyarch! -
Nov 13, 201210Way too many haters trying to bring down the user rating. Just look at their profiles and you'll see. Idiots like VidsRule,LoLthe Owl,Azazel1911 aand more are just tryimmg to bring the score down. Do you really think these loser haters have the $ to buy BLOPS2 on every system? Be smart not like them
Nov 17, 201210This is the best COD since the first!!! The campaign is longer and allows replay with differents ends! The multiplayer is very comprehensive: fifteen maps and many game modes!!! A great game despite what the "anti-cod" can say!!!
Nov 16, 201210This is a great sequel to Black Ops! Surprisingly tight campaign (something MOH games keep missing) with a great narrative, and great levels. Easily my favorite, and much better than MW3. Multiplayer is good as usual. Definitely worth the buy!
Nov 14, 20129It's quite funny looking at people's review history and seeing them giving every Call of Duty a Zero and every Halo a Ten. If you don't like CoD, fine, just leave it to the people who do like it.
This is probably the best CoD since MW2, although I seem much worse at the MP compared to the other ones for some reason. -
Nov 13, 20129
Nov 13, 20129Why the F***, people are giving this 0 beggars belief,i bet they will be online in the coming weeks. I aint a CoD fanboy (BF franchise), but i can see when improvements are made of the very lacklustre MW3, which imo, was the worst in the entire CoD Franchise, Graphics are not the best, but the gameplay shines in both Campaign and Multiplayer. GRATZ to TREYARCH on the best of CoD to date.
Nov 14, 201210This game comes with a whole new world of call of duty we have never seen before with new zombies to the campaign based in the future and now my favorite part the multiplayer which to me is the best part of the game although it isn't the best call of duty it is still a must get.
Nov 18, 20129i stopped liking CoD after the first modern warfare. black ops 2 changes enough to make me a fan of the series again. multilayer feels like cod and wont change peoples mind on the series but the campaign and ZOMBIES is refined to near perfection.

Mar 26, 20139A revolutionary cod game that is overlooked by flaming fan boys of other fps games. Something you need to buy for the great campaign, and addicting multiplayer. Good job treyarch!
May 2, 201310black ops is fit for buying purpose and deserves the rating it gets. the graphics are excellent and when you play it has a smooth game play. this game is very very popular and well known.
Nov 13, 20129
Nov 13, 201210One of the best Call of Duty games ever!!! The campaign is great, but not as good as COD 4, and the new features of the Zombie Mode and the Multiplayer (the most important for me) make this game a must have for every shooter fan!!!
Nov 13, 20129
Nov 13, 20129The Most fun I've had in a shooter since the original Call of duty 4 was released, zombies have been refined and the multiplayer has been tweaked ever so slightly in a way that really brings out the action movie type of game-play that the franchise has always striven to perfect, they have come closer than ever now.

Nov 15, 201210Love halo kilzone cod borderlands, been playing games 20 years black ops 2 ticks all the boxes,extensive options and modes. great bot mode for checking out all the toys, good fun, is as serious a shooter as YOU want it to be. Highly recommended
Nov 14, 20129
Nov 15, 201210This is one of the best action game ever, and I thing best action game on current gen. It seams that's another one CoD game game, but it something big, something serious and it HAS a really good storyline.
Nov 13, 201210
Nov 13, 201210After having played MOH Warfighter, I thought I
Nov 13, 20129Campaign is the best in the series, and multiplayer havent been this good since cod4, and zombies is awesome as always. I really enjoyed Black ops 2 for the Xbox, and all of my friends are enjoying it as well.
Nov 16, 201210
Nov 13, 201210This game is like poo on the fart. The guns are boom boom huck jam and the multiprayer priests with guns. Storyline is monster at worst, night terror at best. Solid dream it makes happiness?
Nov 14, 201210If you want a to se scores of serious reviewers, and not trolls like these that gives **** rating despite the fact that they haven't even played the game. Watch all the mixed/positive user reviews that is from the score
All the rating below are made by trolls that constantly says that they have played the game but not. -
Nov 15, 201210Black ops 2 is probably the best cod I have ever played. I dont understand why little kids and rage quitters are talking complete b.s. about this game. You suck so get over it. The story is flat out awesome and that doesn't even include the multiplayer. Online is great and zombies has gone to a new level! All hardcore cod fans need to play this game.

Jan 22, 201380This is not to say it's a bad game, it's just not different enough from previous Call of Duty titles. The story isn't memorable, the maps and weapons aren't any different to what we've previously experienced, the gameplay is near identical to previous games, and when it's not identical it falls flat and fails to impress.
Jan 19, 201380It's fun, and an indication that Treyarch is willing to explore ideas that Infinity Ward has thus far ignored. [Issue#93, p.74]
Jan 7, 201395If the original Black Ops was Treyarch's coming-out party, then Black Ops 2 is the studio's affirmation that their COD expertise was no flash in the pan. If you're one of the 16 people who hasn't played this gem yet, go buy it now. Conversely, if you're among those who bought the game but hasn't ventured into the single-player campaign (yes, it happens), there's a great narrative and divergent gameplay awaiting your experimentation, so check it out.

Umbrellas and Drones
To observe the Republicans, one would think that the U.S. military was involved in nothing more controversial than a Marine holding an umbrella for President Barack Obama while he gave a speech in the rain. Sarah Palin, one of the many darlings of the rightwing, has stated that most Americans hold their own umbrellas, despite pictures showing her disembarking a plane on a rainy day with a lackey holding an umbrella for her. Lou Dobbs, formerly of Fox News, said it was 'disrespectful, inconsiderate, classless,' although one looks in vain for his similar comments when Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and George W. Bush had soldiers holding umbrellas for them. And the conservative blogosphere has been awash with condemnation, criticism and great umbrage about an action the president took, that has been taken by many presidents before him, including many of their heroes.
Someone awakening after a multi-year sleep and observing this would certainly believe that society overall was in very good shape, if the most important things political activists had to complain about was a Marine holding an umbrella for the president. However, such a person might be deceived. Let us take a quick look at another current issue that is somewhat less benign than an umbrella, and that no one on the right or the left seems concerned with.
U.S. drones, unmanned aircraft, have for some time been bombing targets in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and other countries , all in the sacred name of the U.S. war on terror (whatever that is). In the last couple of years, over 5,000 people have been killed in U.S.– initiated drone strikes, and the frequency of these bombing is escalating rapidly. Their purpose, ostensibly, is to rid areas of Al-Qaeda operatives, a strategically important goal (we'll not consider the morality of it quite yet), as the U.S. prepares to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan, after twelve years of U.S.-sponsored terrorism against the Afghani people.
But what of the human debris left in the wake of these bombings? Ibrahim Mothana, a young Yemeni writer, said this in a New York Times op-ed last year: "Drone strikes are causing more and more Yemenis to hate America and join radical militants; they are not driven by ideology, but rather by a sense of revenge and despair." Much as U.S. citizens are told that people throughout the Middle East hate them because of their freedoms, it might be worth considering that the U.S. is hated by many in the Middle East and other areas because the U.S. government keeps killing their loved ones.

Local Colleges Rank High on Forbes Top Colleges List
See where area schools rank on Forbes list of Top Colleges.
Philadelphia area college fare well on Forbes' America's Top Colleges list.
Swathmore did the best among local schools with the University of Pennsylvania not too far behind. Haverford College's rank would have been higher, according to Forbes, but there was a data error. (Click here for more on that story.) Bryn Mawr College and Villanova University round out the rest of the local schools making the top 100.
Local colleges overall ranking:
- #10: Swarthmore College
- #17: University of Pennsylvania
- #27: Haverford College (Forbes says data error led to lower rank.)
- #52: Bryn Mawr College
- #83: Villanova University
- #180: St. Joseph's University
- #225: Ursinus College
- #245: Immaculata University
- #443: La Salle University
- #480: Temple University
- #525: Drexel University
- #554: West Chester University
Forbes ranking were based on the following criteria:
12:42 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
I keep hearing what a great University West Chester is and yet is ranks 554 not exactly a ringing endorsement
Allison S.
1:56 pm on Tuesday, August 7, 2012
I think what people find so great about WCU is that it is a really great school for the money... especially in this economy. They have been in Kiplinger's 100 Best Value for Public Colleges for 5 years in a row. As a very proud WCU alumni, I feel you do not always have to spend more for a great education.
Donna Picotta

I is a student at KKF (Kommunity Kollege of Filadelfia). Why didn't we make the top 10?
LJ Reed
7:30 pm on Wednesday, August 8, 2012
I find this ranking off. While a Penn grad, its ranking here lower than elsewhere isn't what caught my eye; it was a number of the other schools' rankings. Without the complete list to compare, I find it difficult to think that Temple, West Chester and especially Drexel ranked where they did.
Our region should be incredibly proud of our tradition of higher education; we rival Boston's and certainly exceed New York's. I hope no one is changing their minds about applying to certain Philadelphia area schools because of these rankings.
tim baker
3:36 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
not surprise with WCU or temple. Both are large public schools that does not carry any prestige. They are also PA state schools so the ranking is absolutely right for these two schools. Drexel should be much higher because it is better than most of the schools on the list. Immacuetta is not better than La Salle or any of those other colleges.
my order:
Bryn Mawr
St. Joseph's
La Salle
West Chester
7:04 pm on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Sorry Tim Baker, Bryn Mawr is head and shoulders above Villanova.

"The main goal of the project was to use it as a promotional and recruiting tool," said John Ferrell, NAHS Assistant Principal/Vocational Director. "We want to get information out into the community what our students are doing and what our programs are about." Ferrell also added that he hopes the projects will encourage more people to come into the Career & Technical facility so they can see all of the impressive equipment and technology in place.
The Career & Technical programs participated in the following ways on the "Order Up!" project:
Culinary Arts/Anita Alef, Instructor: Developed menu and prepared food.
Health Science/April Voyles, Instructor: Prepared eating utensil kits which included healthy lifestyle tips.
Business & Marketing/Alison Moore, Instructor: Conducted complete marketing campaign; created flyers; tallied orders.
Digital Media Technology/Mallorie Biffle, Instructor: Provided media coverage.
Drafting/Kevin Wigington, Instructor: Designed portable dine-out cart to use in spring.
Construction Trades/Rick Robbins, Instructor: Building portable dine-out cart to use in spring.
STEM/Jalon Bullock, Instructor: Worked with students on financial aspects of the project; developed QR code and created labels for carry-out boxes.
AEST/Bert Anderson, Instructor: Plans to use greenhouse to grow vegetables to use for spring meals.
Auto Mechanics/Jonathan Ridgeway, Instructor: Assisted with take-outs and parking.
Engineering/Latrina Bynum, Instructor: Designed packaged and assembly line.
Family & Consumer Sciences/Nannette Ballard, Instructor: Table decorations for dine-in patrons.
Early Childcare/Kimberly Langley, Instructor: Designed display board and information sheets about programs available at Career & Techical Center.
Special Populations/Susan Feather & Christy Paul: Assisted with deliveries and collection of money.
Ferrell said that the November 1 project went really smooth with more than 200 plates sold. He said that the target patrons were school district employees and bank employees. The goal is to do the project more often during the second semester, perhaps on a monthly basis. Ferrell also added that he hoped to be able to target more businesses in town so that more people would have the opportunity to see what Career & Technical students are doing in their classes.

Ken Kayama '13
Marketing | Tokyo, Japan
Post-Graduation Plans:
I accepted a job with the Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten.
Summer 2012 Internship Spotlight
Social media analyst, SinoTech Group in Beijing, China
A typical day in Beijing
My day starts at 7 a.m. when I wake up and go to the gym. I eat breakfast and ride my bike to work (15 minutes) by 9 a.m. I finish work at 6 p.m. and head to my Chinese class two nights a week from 7 to 9 p.m. I am realizing how much I have missed the excitement and enjoyment from learning a new language.
What it's like on the job
I already have a lot of responsibilities in the company. I am the only one who speaks Japanese, so I'm the only one who is currently working on one project for Volvo. I was very nervous at first, but I love the pressure and the opportunity to work with well-known companies and contribute to their success.
How SU has prepared me
I am currently working on SinoTech's report team, and we analyze incoming data about brand awareness and sentiment. We summarize it into a report for our clients. This is similar to many of the projects I did in SU's business school, in which I analyzed sites or graphs or numbers to make sense out of them.

What is DMA ? How to enable/disable it ?
What is DMA?
DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, a mechanism in modern computers which allow peripheral devices (like HDD, USB etc..) to sent data directly to motherboard's memory without passing through the CPU. Many hardware systems use DMA including disk drive controllers, graphics cards, network cards, and sound cards.
DMA technology is implemented in modern computer bus architectures to speed up computer operations and allow multitasking. Normally, the CPU will be fully occupied in any read/write operation; enabling DMA allows reading/writing data in the internal memory, external memory and peripherals without CPU involvement, thus making the processor available for other tasks. This ensures streamlined operations, as movement of data to/from memory is one of the most common computer operations and freeing the CPU of this overhead can lead to a significant improvement in performance.
You will have to make sure whether the HD controller supports DMA (likely), and your drives support it (newer than 1997), enable it.
You can use the following command to check and turn on/off DMA
- Check whether HDD is SATA or IDEIf you do df -lh you can tell which drives are IDE and which are SATA.
/dev/hd? << that is IDE
/dev/sd? << that is SATA
SATA drives do not use DMA because it is already so fast - Check whether DMA is on/off
root@server [~]# hdparm –d 1 /dev/hdd
using_dma = 0 (off)
root@server [~]# - If it is Off then you can turn On using command command
root@server [~]# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdd
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
using_dma = 0 (on) - You can test HDD performance using following command
#hdparm -tT /dev/hdd
If you are getting following error while trying to enable (hdparm –d 1 /dev/hdd) DMA there might be following possibility
Error ::
root@server [~]# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdd
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
root@server [~]#
- Check whether the HD controller supports DMA ?
- Check whether kernel is compile with DMA module ?
If not please recompile the latest kernel with DMA module , The steps which are particularly relevant to DMA support are as follows:
- Download a recent kernel from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ URL
- untar it and run make menuconfig make sure following feature are enable
General setup —>Device Drivers —><*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support —>
<*> generic/default IDE chipset support
<*> Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support
<*> Intel PIIX/ICH chipsets support
- and then :
- #make –> compile kernel, it says "bzimage is ready."
- #make modules
- #make modules_install
- #make install >> sh /usr/src/linux-126.96.36.199/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 184.108.40.206-VISION arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
- # edit the /etc/grub.conf file and make new complied kernel entry as default
- #reboot

Catherine Ashton said a review in under way for both Syria and Iran "not only to consider whether more sanctions should be taken, but to make sure the enforcement of sanctions is done properly and any abilities to evade them are dealt with."
On Friday, the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Britain said they support new sanctions against Iran over the lack of progress in talks about the country's nuclear program, which the West fears could be used to build weapons. Iran insists it only seeks to make nuclear fuel for energy and medical reactors.
"Certainly we keep sanctions under review all the time, so the discussions are ongoing... Certainly the issue of sanctions was raised by a number of different partners," Ashton told reporters at the end of an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Nicosia.
China and Russia have repeatedly used their veto powers in the U.N. Security Council to block U.S. - and Arab-backed action that could have led to sanctions against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. But the EU has its own sanctions regarding Syria, including one requiring the bloc's 27 nations to board ships and airplanes carrying suspicious cargo to the country.
Speaking to reporters at the end of an EU foreign ministers meeting
The EU has teamed up with the U.S. to impose sanctions on Iran, including international embargoes on its oil, its main source of revenue.
On Syria, Ashton repeated Assad "should go" and that a top priority for the EU is to offer its full backing to the new U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, who is set to begin mediation aimed at ending the civil war. Activists say more than 23,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011.
Ashton urged Syrian opposition groups to form a united front against the Assad regime. "It's really important that the people in Syria feel that they, whoever they are, are part of that future," she said.
Ashton said humanitarian concerns about Syrian refugees remains an "absolute priority" and that the EU is working with Syria's neighbors to provide assistance. She said some 200,000 people have sought refuge in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
On Friday, the EU announced it will provide an additional (EURO)60 million ($76 million) in humanitarian aid for Syria.

Hospitality & Culinary Degrees and Programs Offered in Georgia (GA)
Students who want to extend their flair for culinary arts can choose from a wide range of hospitality and culinary degrees in Georgia. Online and campus-based courses are available and vary depending on whether the student wishes to work in a restaurant, hotel, cruise ship, school or hospital or become an independent caterer. Formal training at a school of culinary arts usually entails a 2- or 4-year course ending with an associate or bachelor's degree in hospitality. Graduating chefs can also take part in apprenticeships at hotels or restaurants to increase their experience. Apprenticeships may lead to permanent employment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the American Culinary Federation accredits more than 200 formal academic training programs and sponsors apprenticeship programs throughout the United states.
Southern hospitality and culinary degrees in GA
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2009 the population of Georgia reached 9,829,211. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that Georgia employed 337,300 in food preparation and serving occupations in 2009. The national mean hourly wage for these occupations was $10.04 and the mean annual salary was $20,880. Job openings in these fields are expected to remain good from 2008 through 2018, but competition for openings will be tougher at restaurants that pay higher salaries. Job growth is expected to create new positions.

CBS Radio President and CEO Dan Mason, one of radio's top visionaries, joins Radio Ink's Forecast for a sit-down interview with the industry's leading advocates, Gordon Smith of the National Association of Broadcasters and Erica Farber of the Radio Advertising Bureau. Dan will lead an all-encompassing discussion about what lies ahead for radio. What initiatives will top the radio "to do" list at the NAB? Where does the RAB see the greatest revenue growth potential, and how will it help foster and lead that growth?
"We are fortunate to have such great leaders championing radio," Mason says, "and I'm very much looking forward to hearing more from Erica and Gordon about their vision for the future." Read more.
If you love someone, you want them to love you back. It's only natural.
Listeners love radio, and they always have; it's a relationship no other medium can match. And now more than ever, they want radio to love them back -- and show it. Today's listeners have vibrant, active lives online, and they want their favorite radio personalities to be right there with them, and of course you don't want to disappoint them. But how can you make it happen?
At Radio Ink's Forecast, set for November 28 in New York, Glenn Beck will tell you. Yes, he's a top-rated talk personality -- his Premiere-syndicated show is the third-highest-rated in the country -- but he's also got a formidable presence in digital and social media. Read more.
Respected Wall Street financier Steven Rattner knows what it's like to jump in at the deep end: In 2009, he accepted a post as counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury in the Obama administration, and led the restructuring of the U.S. automotive industry. With no automotive background, Rattner took on this high-pressure, high-profile task and got a unique opportunity to see, with the eyes of an expert outsider, the inner workings and deepest concerns of this industry so closely tied to radio's fortunes and future.
At Radio Ink's Forecast, set for November 28 in New York, in an onstage interview conducted by Bloomberg Surveillance co-hosts Tom Keene and Ken Prewett, Rattner will be be talking candidly about his experience and what he sees ahead for the auto industry and the economy -- whether that's under a re-energized Obama administration or the fresh but untried leadership of President Romney.

Utica Wins; The Future Of The Former HSBC Building
By: Rachel Polansky
Updated: February 1, 2013
This morning the city of Utica asked the Oneida County Supreme Court to issue a repair or demolition order, and after several witnesses took the stand, that's exactly what they got.
"This is a landmark building that has been absolutely abused over the last several years by what I would consider an absentee landlord," says Mayor Palmieri, city of Utica.
Mayor Palmieri is talking about Ronald Prince of California. He bought the 3-story office building in 2009, and since then, the Mayor says he's let it rot.
"We went back in there in January of last year and it was absolutely a disgrace what had transpired inside that building from collapse of the ceilings, to mold, to people had been living in there," says Mayor Palmieri.
"Police went in and found along with the codes department, and fire department, there were indeed illegal activities going on. Not only is it an eyesore, but there are some possible dangerous conditions," says Joan Harris, Assistant Corporation Counsel, city of Utica.
The city counsel says the longer the owner let the building deteriorate, the quicker it was became a safety hazard.
"Black mold taking over the entire building is a concern due to possible respiratory impacts. Also since the building was constructed prior to 1974, the concern is asbestos is in there as well," says Harris.
Witnesses from the codes department, fire department, and an engineer testified on the cities behalf, while a contractor testified on the defendant's behalf. At the end of the trial, the judge granted the cities petition. But Harris says it's more than a win for the city.
"We're here, we're looking out for them. And I don't just mean people that live in City Hall. I mean them in terms of yourself, myself, people walking the street everyday, not only the taxpayers but the citizens at large," says Harris.
The judge gave the current owner, Ronald Prince, 3 months to get the repair work done. And if he does not, the city can step in and do whatever's necessary at his expense.
