Oct 18, 2011A great, great game! RDR takes you to the western world with perfection. John Marston is one of the best characters ever in video games history. Open world, tons of missions, great gameplay, awesome graphics and a soundtrack that makes the experience more immersive! if you have a PS3 or a XBOX360, go and buy this masterpiece! RDR is one of the 3 favorite games of all time (for me).
Sep 25, 2011this is a great game with an amaceing story and great gameplay. You can put lots and lots on hours in to this game with so mutch there is to do in it. a 10/10 for me
Dec 29, 2011The best game ever for this style. Better than GTA 4, Better than everything. There's just so many things to do. You can hunt, you can kill outlaws, you can be an outlaw, you can do secondary missions, you can play poker and stuff, you can simply do the main missions (and they're awesome). The only problem is the GLITCHES. the game is loaded of them. I'd give it a 9.5, but I can't. 9 it is, then.
Dec 1, 2012What were you smoking when you thought this GTA Rip off is good? No Horse Drives like a car. The textures and glitches are horrible. Mediocre story. Go play Zelda Twilight Princess that way you get a third person with a good camera. If you like this game your a Kurt Russel fan.

Oct 2, 2010I think I hyped myself too much for this game add to that the fact that I do not enjoy western settings and you can understand my rating for this game. Overall it's a fine experience, the story is engaging and the game is fluid. I was a bit disappointed in the graphics department but it wasn't a big deal.

Feb 28, 2011As far as games go, it doesn't get much better than this one. The graphics are, at times, strikingly beautiful. The game is also unbelievably well written and acted, there were a couple times during this game which almost made me tear up. Gripping, intelligent, and fierce. A great game all around. Oh, yeah, and it's fun as **** to play.
Feb 22, 2011A very immersive experience. The world feels so alive and authentic.This along with the time period and a strong cast of characters allow for an engaging story. The gameplay is a lot of fun and typical of a rockstar game.
Aug 3, 2011Great game. Main story is linear but pretty long and interesting. It remainds me movies like Unforgiven. There is large world with a lot of things to do and plenty of side task/quests. If you like TPP action games you have to play it.

May 25, 2011A bit late in reviewing but, it is truly one of the greatest games ever. Superb storytelling, superb gameplay and a very likeable protagonist. A must have for every PS3 owner
May 7, 2011I absolutely loved this game until the end of the Storyline. It was a huge disappointment, so much I stopped playing it. It's better than all of the GTA games and the graphics were epic.

May 30, 2011No game ever deserves a perfect ten, but RDR is the closest to it! Everything about the game is wonderful, the story, the setting and the characters! John Marston quickly becomes a favourite and you become attached to him! My favourite game I have ever played! I didn't want it to end!
Jun 10, 2011It's much more than just GTA in the West. It expands upon the already solid formula we're so used to from Rockstar's earlier games and brings its own flavor and character to a genre which was sorely lacking. There's something in this game for everyone and once you've finished the 20+ hour long story, there's always the ranked multiplayer to keep you busy in the Wild West for quite some time.

Aug 25, 2011There is so much fun stuff to do in this game. I feel like you can't be bored playing this game. The game is beautiful, so even just sitting on your horse, admiring the Mexican sunset while watching deer jump across the plain is awesome. A fresh change of pace from GTA for Rockstar most indeed. The story was brilliant especially the end.
Aug 27, 2011Unquestionably one of the best games ever made, nothing combines action, story-telling with an old-west feel like RDR. People may say that GTA 4 is better than RDR, but Niko is just some petty criminal, whereas Marston is fighting for a just cause.
Sep 7, 2011one of the best games ever made! you can spend days playing even when you finished the story because there is more to explore in mutliplayer and single player: challenges, intermission with other players, the great level and thousands of other things which make this game to a MUST HAVE and MUST PLAY for everyone!
Sep 16, 2011This game has the one thing that kept GTA IV away from erfect score - unique, uncharted world that has never existed in videogame. Plus fantastic heroes, plot and all game mechanisms.

Oct 23, 2011The only thing that I hate from this game is : Why The John Marston Cannot Swimm ?? great riding horse,great visualization,great hunting,great storyline and characters
Feb 12, 2012Fantastic game by Rockstar. The PS2 Red Dead Revolver I believe has a better story line than Red Dead Redemption. I enjoyed the weapons, enemies, and over all plot. I like the ending which had an excellent twist. I believe this is a solid title with plenty of extras that will keep you coming back for more.
Feb 24, 2012What a GREAT game! , i dont know why some people hate it, its an AMAZING game, I recommend everyone to buy it especially if you like open world/action games
Nov 18, 2011for people who say red dead redemption is gta with a horse well you are wrong.it is way more than that.the environment is beautiful.will play it about 56 hours if you do the side missions.
Nov 5, 2011Late to review I know, better late than never! I'm not really into the old Wild West theme - usually! But I made an exception for this game. Its game play is good and its certainly entertaining. Good game!
Dec 6, 2011
Nov 7, 2011This game is incredible. Interaction with the old west has never been better. Great graphics, realistic areas, unique gameplay, and just the right difficulty. This is the best western game ever created.

Nov 18, 2011If you actually like to play games in general, you have to have this game!!!!!!!! The best story, ending, atmosphere, soundtrack, characters, location, amazing graphics, tonnes of replay ability and not to mention the amazing multiplayer, this is the best game ever made, 100000000000000/10 if I could!!!
Nov 17, 2011
Feb 8, 2012
Nov 23, 2011the game is fun and not so much GTA as people say. i really like the hunting part of the game, there is alot of side quests to do so if you want to play more you can always do all the challenges and stranger side missions
Dec 6, 2011My one saving grace on the ps3 right now. Its the only game that is actually working well for me on the p3 right now. Its a hoot to play although a bit graphic in places and certainly something that you don't want your kids in the same room while your playing!
Dec 21, 2011I think it is the best PS3 game I ever played. The only bad thing I found is that the beginning and the ending are boring compared to the action of the middle of the game. But this is a really good game, with an excellent soundtrack, an excellent scenario, an excellent gameplay, an excellent map, sublime landscapes, long life expectancy (+ multiplayer).
Dec 23, 2011
Jan 2, 2012This game is the best western Cowboy game available personally and It has fairly good graphics and very fun Missions it really gives you the effect of a western cowboy and his adventure to redeem his old life
Jan 1, 2012The best game RockStar has ever made in my opinion, yes, even better than GTA. Much lasting appeal, some of the best graphics around, good sounds and awesome gameplay (even riding a horse around is fun).
An incredible campaign is joined by a solid multiplayer experience. A Western game can't get any better than this. 10/10 -

Aug 19, 2012Probably one of my favorite games of all time!! This is truly an amazing adventure. The plot is compelling and unforgettable, the combat is fun, the land is vast and gorgeous, and the music perfectly fits the atmosphere of the game. Other than a few glitch moments here and there, this is one of the best games of this generation!!
Feb 29, 2012red dead redemption is easily one of the best games ever created. It's definitely in my personal top 5 games I've ever played: really good and immersive story, great controls, great graphics and environment and long singleplayer!
Mar 2, 2012
Jan 18, 2013If you hate this game you're not a gamer, simple as that. No, I'm not a Rockstar fanboy but it's really so goddamn obvious that Red Dead Redemption is the best game this gen, by far and that is a fact.
Mar 10, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 10, 2012How did Rockstar manage to make GTA-Goes-West so boring, even frustrating at times? Clunky controls, game breaking clipping errors and a terribly executed cover-system. The dialog and exposition are not entertaining, insightful or the least bit interesting. RDR is my most disappointing gaming experience in the last 15 years.
Apr 4, 2012This game blows all the GTA games to water .The wild west version with an nice storyline amazing missons and has a lot to offer .the multiplayer is dissapointing but other than that it is a fanstastic game
May 14, 2012
Apr 6, 2012
Apr 9, 2012This is a fantastic game by Rockstar.
The wild west has never been properly portrayed in another game, and RDR does a great job at doing so.
One of the best games this generation. -
Jun 10, 2012
May 18, 2012this game was a masterpiece. from beginning to end, I loved every second of it. I loved that you actually had to hunt, the characters, the story line, side missions, everything basically. I feel this game is a must buy, because it is so diverse and entertaining. I want RDR 2!
Jun 8, 2012
Jun 15, 2012Turned off by the whole western theme, I was reluctant to pick this game up. Now I admit that this is by far one of the best games I have played in decades. Solid game play, but the story and well developed characters make this one of the best. The writing and voice acting would put most highly acclaimed movies to shame. Play it through to the end and the ending will blow you away.
Jan 17, 2013I've said it before in my reviews and will say it again, a small lively open world is better than a massive empty one. Red Dead has a ok story with one fudging too big world. Its gameplay though is solid as a brick wall. I just wish, as with many games I have, it wasn't given as much praise. Why? I expected too much.
Oct 4, 2012Red Dead Redemption is Rockstar's greatest achievement. No open world game matches the epic scale, storytelling, and environments packed into the game. This is the best Western to grace a gaming system and is certainly worth your time. There is much bang for your buck here.
Dec 3, 2012I guess I expected more from the game when I read all the reviews. But sadly I was not as satisfied as I was waiting to be. Become more of me trying hard to like a game which is not as polished as I would've liked it to be. Not the biggest fan by a long shot.

Dec 29, 2012Just when I thought that Rockstar Games couldn't create anything other than overhyped crap, I was proven wrong with this game. And I must tell you, it never felt so good to be wrong.

Mar 25, 2013One of the best environments I've ever seen in a video game. It makes you feel like you're in the wild west. Rockstar always has really great voice acting and storytelling. This game may be their best.
Apr 26, 2011
May 2, 2011This game captures you from the start. Gameplay mechanics much the same as GTA, so no amazing fun their. The immersion of this game is priceless....from the main story to side stories to hunting Legendary Animals. The greatest Wild West game to date. They need to start on a sequel as soon as L.A. Noire hits the shelves.
Sep 1, 2011Loved the idea of being a cowboy, until I played this game, now I am happy I only had to be a cowboy for a bit. While its not bad, this game wasn't good either. Felt like most of my time was spent staring at the butt of a horse and a story that just kept on going. Even when I thought the story was done it jumped a few years forward, but it was a different character and felt really "meh".

Jul 3, 2013The best game I have ever played on PS3. It is like Grand Theft Auto but set in the Midwest with a much better story line. I actually found myself immersed in my character. The best part is this game is entertaining for months. Its not like Uncharted (after you beat it in two-three days your done. This game I actually can play again and again.

Mar 11, 2012I expected this game to be much better. When I first played the game, i didnt like it at all, but now that i am giving it a second chance its actually a good game.Multiplayer is fun when you play with groups and most DLC are free.The campaign mode feels repetitive sometimes but gets better when you go further into the story.
Feb 3, 2013One of the best games off all time. Awesome history graphics gameplay and the zombie DLC on the Old West revilocionate the gaming industry! the multiplayer is a bit fuzzy but its still very good
May 25, 2012Story fades off to tedium in many parts of the game, but it's certainly worth a playthrough nevertheless (took me 3 goes to get up and running with game though)
Aug 8, 2012Now this is a true masterpiece by Rockstar. This is the best game of its year, and people are gonna remember this game for decades. Where else you can relive the Wild West?
Red Dead Redemption has everything a gamer can ask: story, graphics, gameplay, sound and it never grow old. -
May 8, 2012I will admit the game had its appealing moments the first time I played it.. But all it is, is Grand Theft Pony. Like all of rockstars games it's all the same as GTA with different themes.

Aug 1, 2012
Sep 26, 2012This game makes the Wild West become a reality. A classic masterpiece.
Oct 30, 2012
The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games. [Issue#206, p.86]
Rockstar's skill in creating a believable, functioning world with a distinct, coherent and consistent atmosphere is peerless. The broad-brush vision is masterful.
Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece. This game is the perfect example of how a developer should work to create the best atmosphere and to represent a beautiful historical situation. The graphics, the gameplay elements and everything else is at top level. Buy Red Dead Redemption, now!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The last time he visited the Kanawha Valley, Donte' Grantham was on top of the basketball world.
The Martinsburg all-stater led his team to the Class AAA title at the Civic Center in March and was courting offers from several big-time Division I programs, including West Virginia, making him an instant hero for thousands of Mountaineer fans.
But here it is not even three months later and, in many ways, Grantham must feel like he's starting all over again.
Grantham is back in the Kanawha Valley this weekend to compete in the North-South All-Star Basketball Classic, which tips off at about 7:30 tonight at the South Charleston Community Center. Pre-game skills contests are set to begin at 6:15.
Since his triumphant journey to the Capital City in March, Grantham was selected as the state's player of the year, but then saw his college recruitment plans temporarily fizzle.
Following his April 2 visit to Morgantown, a commitment was anticipated by Mountaineer faithful, but it didn't happen. In fact, when the national letter-of-intent signing period came and went without his signature to any school, WVU, among others, pulled its offer from the table, and Grantham has now opted to attend a prep school.
Both of those developments only served to increase the burn factor on the spotlight that follows him around, and now Grantham must prove himself all over again.
"Every time I get on the court, I want to prove a point,'' he said at a North team practice on Thursday, "but this time, it's extraordinary.''
Grantham plans to attend Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., which pretty much puts his recruitment on hold for another year. He also considered playing this season at Brewster Academy, another prep school in Wolfeboro, N.H.
"It's closer to home,'' Grantham said of Hargrave, "where I can come home more.''
Before the signing period expired, the schools most often mentioned as possible destinations for Grantham included WVU, Clemson, George Mason, James Madison, Radford and Marshall.
When asked Thursday what schools he was currently in touch with, Grantham listed Indiana, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Miami (Fla.), Maryland, Clemson and Cincinnati.
So is WVU still in the mix?
"To me, yeah,'' he said, "but I'm just keeping my options open.''
Grantham said he'll have more schools looking at him when his traveling AAU team, the D.C. Assault, competes in a July tournament in Las Vegas.
He seemed resigned to going through the entire recruiting process again, but said it didn't feel right making a commitment over the spring.

History and general information
When the Territorial Legislature created Wasco County in 1854 from parts of Clackamas, Lane, Linn and Marion Counties, it embraced all of Oregon east of the Cascade Range, most of Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming. It was named for the Wasco (or Wascopam) Tribe.
Wasco's county seat is The Dalles. Now the trading hub of north-central Oregon, The Dalles gained earlier fame as the town at the end of the Oregon Trail. Thousands of years before that, humans scratched pictographs on rocks overlooking the Columbia River in this area. Later, tribes gathered for generations near Celilo Falls to trade and fish. The county's tribal heritage continues in evidence today. Kah-Nee-Ta, a popular Oregon resort, is located on the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation in southern Wasco County.

Business Process Management (BPM) - Global Strategic Business Report
- Language: English

- Published: April 2012
- Region: Global
While most technology systems continue to be viewed by the business community as inhibitors of progress, rather than as innovative solutions capable of delivering agile operations, Business Process Management is being actively positioned as the exception to this rule. Business professionals continue to struggle with business and technology alignment issues, and are actively searching for business-enhancing technology solutions that are fit-for-purpose and come without the need to undertake major time-constraining redevelopments whenever operational changes occur. BPM, in its various forms, has been available since before the millennium, and in our opinion today's leading solutions comprise of a mature set of tools, products, and services that are fit for mainstream business use.
However, much as it would be advantageous to ignore some of the baggage that comes with today's mainstream BPM products, there remain serious divisions between what the vendors see as the most important components within their all-inclusive offerings, and the basic function-driven approaches to BPM – application development, modelling, and integration services – that business

2011 CPR Institute Award Winner – Outstanding Electronic Media
On 28 February 2014, the Regional Court of Munich rendered a decision in the matter opposing German speed skater Claudia Pechstein to the ISU (Judgment of the Regional Court of Munich I, Case Number 37 O 28331/12; the judgment is not final). This decision is sending waves through the sports arbitration community.
In a matter that started as a doping dispute and was brought to the CAS, the Munich Court decision held that arbitration agreements that are included into agreements entered into by athletes in order to enter into a competition are invalid, because athletes have not voluntarily accepted arbitration as a means of dispute resolution. In addition, the Court considered that there was [...]

A recent arbitration award has highlighted the question of the enforceability of forfeiture provisions in oil and gas JOAs. The effect of such provisions is that a defaulting party forfeits its participating interest ("PI") in a project on account of a default, such as a failure to pay a cash call. We look at some of the practical considerations for parties to existing JOAs and those entering into new JOAs, as well as their advisers.
In December 2013, an ICC tribunal handed down an award in an arbitration between RSM Production Corporation ("RSM") as the claimants and Victoria Oil and Gas ("VOG") and Rodeo Development Limited ("R [...]

The Japan Commercial Arbitration Association ("JCAA") has introduced an amended version of its Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "New Rules"). The New Rules, which contain comprehensive amendments, came into force on 1 February 2014 and will apply to all arbitrations initiated on or after that date. The changes are intended by the JCAA to update its rules in line with recent trends in the amendment of arbitration rules (such as the 2013 amendments to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre ("HKIAC") and Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") Rules). Accordingly, the New Rules contain provisions aimed at [...]

On 14 February 2014, the Supreme Court of India (SCI) in Enercon India v. Enercon GMBH [Civ. App. 2086/7 of 2014] (Enercon) found occasion to revisit issues in connection with potential laws that govern an arbitration agreement. The impugned arbitration agreement contained the following clause:
18.1 * * *
18.2 * * *
18.3 A proceedings in such arbitration shall be conducted in English. The venue of the arbitration proceedings shall be in London. The arbitrators may (but shall not be obliged to) award costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable-fees of counsel) to the Party (ies) that substantially prevail on merit. The provisions of Indi [...]
Defective arbitration clauses are certainly uncommon, but do appear on a recurring basis in domestic and international arbitration practice. Many practitioners can go their entire professional lives without seeing any, while others encounter two or three cases over their career.
The types of defective arbitration agreements or clauses are varied. Obviously, in most cases the defect is due to the breach of some requirement under the law applicable to the arbitration agreement. This happened fairly often in Spain under the old Arbitration Act 1988, article 5 of which required parties to state their intention not only to take their disputes to arbitration but also to comply with the award. Alth [...]

A new year is on the horizon and men and women across the globe are readying their New Year's resolutions. In recent years, more and more men and women have resolved to adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle in the year ahead.
But you don't have to wait until the new calendar year to go green. In fact, New Year's revelers can turn their New Year's Eve party into an eco-friendly affair in a variety of ways.
* Forgo paper products. New Year's Eve festivities typically feature lots of food and beverages, and hosts can use this to get a head start on their resolutions. Instead of serving food on paper plates and beverages in disposable paper, plastic or foam cups, use reusable glassware or even plastic cups and plates that can be washed and reused. In addition, replace paper napkins with cloth napkins that can be used more than once.
When forgoing paper products, don't forget to abandon traditional invitations for e-vites. Invite guests via e-mail or through social networking sites instead of sending out traditional paper invitations that needlessly use paper and need to be transported.
* Embrace eco-friendly beverages. Adult beverages are a big part of many New Year's Eve parties, and even these beverages can be eco-friendly. The growing popularity of craft breweries, or microbreweries, has made it easy for party hosts to serve eco-friendly drinks. Purchase your party's beer supply from a local microbrewery to cut down on the beer's carbon footprint. Buying locally reduces reliance on transportation to get items from the manufacturer into your refrigerator, which in turn reduces fuel consumption and pollution.
But beer isn't the only way to make your beverage menu more eco-friendly. Hosts can replace traditional vodka with organic vodka and traditional wine with biodynamic wine. When the time comes to toast the past year and ring in the new one, do so with champagne or sparkling wine made from organic grapes.
* Encourage guests to recycle throughout the night. When guests arrive, explain to them that the night will be an eco-friendly affair. Set up a separate trash receptacle for recyclable items, including bottles and cans. Think of ways to use discarded wine and champagne bottles as decorative items, be it for table settings or vases to hold fresh flowers. And when recycling, don't overlook the smaller items. Corks from wine bottles can be recycled and reused for a variety of products, including flooring tiles, building insulation and sports equipment.
* Donate food at the end of the night. Hosts often have food leftover at the end of the night. Rather than discarding all those leftovers, donate them to a local food bank or homeless shelter. Make these arrangements in advance so the following morning you can donate the leftovers before they spoil.
New Year's Eve is one of the most festive nights of the year. And with a few simple steps, hosts can make their gathering as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable.

Early Life
Who invited Barry Diller to the Internet party? In the hip, young world of Internet start-ups, media mogul Barry Diller, owner of the Home Shopping and USA Networks, the Sci-Fi Channel and Ticketmaster, is sometimes regarded as an interloper. But Diller's innovative spirit, which helped invent the television miniseries and launched the brash young Fox Television Network when no one thought a fourth network was possible, is now hard at work integrating old and new media into a commerce empire.Born in San Francisco, in 1942, Diller grew up in Los Angeles and claims he rarely attended classes on Mondays or Fridays at Beverly Hills High School.He dropped out of UCLA after four months, but his friend Marlo Thomas helped him get a job in the mailroom at the William Morris Agency. Three years later, Diller was a full-fledged talent agent. In 1966, he became a programming assistant at ABC and steadily rose to the position of vice president. Along the way, he invented the made-for-TV movie and launched the TV miniseries Roots. In 1974, he took a job as chairman and chief executive of Paramount Studios and turned the flagging company around with hits including Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
Creation of the Fox Network
In 1984, he joined Twentieth Century-Fox where he created the Fox Television Network, which changed the television landscape by attracting a young, male audience with shows like The Simpsons and Married with Children. Diller, known for his tough-talking, volatile personality, left the company in 1992 after having a falling out with Rupert Murdoch (owner of Fox's parent company). Later that year, Diller bought shopping channel QVC, and also tried to purchase Paramount and later CBS, losing both bids. In 1995, Diller began amassing his own media empire, becoming chairman of the Home Shopping Network, and acquiring USA and the Sci-Fi Channel. In 1997, he became part owner of Ticketmaster. The following year, he merged Ticketmaster's online arm with Citysearch, a provider of local online city guides. The combination transformed Citysearch into an e-commerce venture, and the combined company, called Ticketmaster Online-Citysearch, went public in 1999.Internet Mogul
Diller continued his online expansion as Citysearch acquired two online dating sites, a job listing service, and created CityAuction to satisfy the growing demand for online auctions.profile name: Barry Diller profile occupation:

Americans Have A Lot To Be Thankful For This Independence Day
Posted July 1, 2008
0 Comments
As we approach the July 4th holiday, the news couldnt be gloomier. U.S. and global stock markets continue to decline and are flirting with worldwide recession. The financial sector is in crisis; housing values have fallen to their 2004 levels and are still dropping; the U.S. dollar is in free-fall; we havent even begun to see the peak in home foreclosures; unemployment is up; oil prices are outrageous and a box of cereal will cost twice as much by next year. Its hard to see a silver lining in all this bad newsor even a way out of this mess.

Why Are Prices Of Oil Continuing To Go UP?
Posted April 28, 2008
1 Comment
Why is the price of oil continuing to go up? There are a number of reasons for high oil prices. The most important is SUPPLY AND DEMAND created by the growing consumption of newly developed countries in Asia and Latin America, like China, India, Mexico and Brazil. China is now the second largest car market in the world. Another reason is that oil is priced in DOLLARS PER BARREL and when the dollar drops in value, the price of oil automatically goes up, because it takes more dollars to buy the same barrel of oil.

The city had planned the meeting before local Reps. Chuck McGrady, Tim Moffitt and Nathan Ramsey filed a bill to forcibly transfer the water system to MSD. But that legislation, combined with proposed statewide measures targeting privilege licenses along with beer and wine excise taxes, leaves the city in a bad situation. A $2.2 million gap staff planned to manage through a combination of increased fees (mainly for trash) and smaller cuts becomes an anticipated $5.9 million gap. According to finance chief Lauren Bradley, the city survived the recession by cutting its "low-hanging fruit," deferring needed long-term projects and occasionally using reserve funds. Now, drastic action will be required if the proposed legislation goes through.
How drastic? If the city doesn't raise property taxes, staff proposed a series of major cuts, such as closing the WNC Nature Center, closing a fire station, stopping Saturday bus service, ending all youth and adult athletic programs, stopping Bele Chere this year, closing city pools and reducing police overtime, among other measures.
Some legislators, including Ramsey, have claimed they want to find ways to make up the financial loss to cities, but Bradley said the city has to start with a conservative estimate of the budget issues it might have to deal with.
More than 100 people packed the U.S. Cellular Center banquet hall, and during almost two hours of public comment, many spoke. They wanted the Aston Park tennis courts open, the nature center intact, and for Ashevilleans to still be able to ride the bus to work on Saturday. Transit committee chair Julie Mayfield told Council that the bus "is not a luxury" for many people who depend on it to work.
Itiyopiya Ewart, a Hillcrest resident, sounded a similar note, saying that without transit, residents faced further difficulties on top of the already daunting obstacles to a good job.
Asheville resident Mike Lewis claimed the legislation is part of a larger move to destroy cities' independence, and runs the risk of the "degeneration of the Paris of the South into the Detroit of the South."
John Miall, the city's former director of risk management and current mayoral candidate, took aim at the city as well, asserting that the cuts should focus more on administrative positions and less on service cuts that will effect the average citizen.
"The pain is not felt across the board," he said. "Council can do better."
Guillermo Rodriguez, chair of the city's Bele Chere committee, said that decisions by city staff about the fate of festivals and parks and recreation facilities were being made too quickly, without transparency and consideration of the consequences, and endanger a system built over three decades.
Mayor Terry Bellamy compared the state's approach to "death by a thousand cuts," slowly putting the city in an impossible position. If the state will simply take local infrastructure, she asserted, cities have no reason to invest in it.
Council member Gordon Smith said that Asheville is a prosperous city, not asking for handouts from the General Assembly, "just asking that you take the boot off our necks."
Multiple Council members asked citizens to write to their legislators, and Chris Pelly added that it was time to plan a date to "pack the buses and head to Raleigh."
Due to the increased uncertainty in the budget situation, Council will hold an additional April 23 work session, and delay passage of the budget to June 11.

text: Live Previews from the 2011 North American International Auto Show The car show more commonly known as the Detroit Auto Show is only days away. But some of the production concepts that will be debuted there have already broken cover. Here's an early peek. Check back as more information becomes available. By Ben Wojdyla Email Comments 0 Share Back 9 of 15 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Ford Vertrek Concept If you look at Ford's rather fresh North American lineup these days, it's painfully evident that one product in particular seems a little datedthe Ford Escape. While the car-based wagon is in many ways still competitive in the compact SUV segment, its styling is getting extremely long in the tooth; it's been largely unchanged since it first debuted way back in 2000. Looking into the crystal ball reveals a replacement largely resembling the Ford Vertrek Concept debuting at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Ford is hitting its stride in executing its One Ford strategy, wherein the company leverages global assets to create and execute vehicles aimed at production and sales across the world. First came the Fiesta, then the Focus and Focus C-Max, and in all likelihood the Vertrek is next. It would be a consolidation of the Escape segment in the U.S. and the Kuga in Europe, both ripe for a significant new model. The Vertrek Concept is based on the global C platform, which underpins the 2011 Focus. Styling is solidly within Ford's Kinetic design language, with bold body lines; dramatic fender arches; a deep, broad grille; and pulled-back headlights. If you squint, it looks like a Focus hatchback on steroids. The same holds true with the interior. While the detailing is decidedly concept car, the shapes and layout are extremely familiar. Anyone' who's been in a Fiesta will immediately recognize the Vertrek's dashboard layout. To provide an extremely airy cabin, the Vertrek is fitted with a massive skylight running all the way down the center of vehicle As is the case with many Ford these days, the Vertrek can be fitted with an array of plug-and-play powertrains to accommodate several markets. For Europe, buyers will be able to select the popular Duratorq TDCi diesel engines with improved fuel efficienecy of 7% on the 2.0-liter model. The US models will likely start with the 1.6-liter Ecoboost inline four. All powerplants would get a new Auto Start-Stop system and new six-speed transmissions to further improve around-town fuel economy. Even the world's worst tea-leaf reader could decipher the future of the Vertrek. Shave off the concept car carbon fiber bits, the overly-elaborate and nowhere-near-legal wing mirrors, the race car seats and the haute couture floor coverings and you've got a darn handsome compact SUV headed for global production.

On June 30, 1948, AT&T Bell Labs unveiled the transitor to the world, creating a spark of explosive economic growth that would lead into the Information Age. William Shockley led a team of researchers, including Walter Brattain and John Bardeen, who invented the device. Like the existing triode vacuum tube device, the transistor could amplify signals and switch currents on and off, but the transistor was smaller, cheaper, and more efficient. Moreover, it could be integrated with millions of other transistors onto a single chip, creating the integrated circuit at the heart of modern computers.
Today, most transistors are being manufactured with a minimum feature size of 60-90nm--roughly 200-300 atoms. As the push continues to make devices even smaller, researchers must account for quantum mechanical effects in the device behavior. With fewer and fewer atoms, the positions of impurities and other irregularities begin to matter, and device reliability becomes an issue. So rather than shrink existing devices, many researchers are working on entirely new devices, based on carbon nanotubes, spintronics, molecular conduction, and other nanotechnologies.

Imagine: Worrying that your child could be kidnapped into a gang
El Salvador has the world's second highest murder rate – more than 4,300 murders last year alone. That's just behind Honduras, its neighbor in Central America. The United States bears some responsibility for this. Many of these young men (or their parents) fled to the U.S. to escape the war in El Salvador in the 1980s, a war that was financed, in part, by the United States. Some of those young immigrants grew up to be gang members and were deported from the U.S. by the courts, ending up back in El Salvador where they continued their gang activities.
The U.S. has poured hundreds of millions into anti-gang efforts in Central America but nothing much seemed to change until just a few months ago, when the Catholic Church stepped in to broker a truce between two gangs in El Salvador. But the culture of violence there remains.
We sent Ambar Espinoza to El Salvador to report one mother's story and what the U.S. and El Salvador are doing to try bring justice and safety to the country. Ambar herself was born in El Salvador and fled the country when she was just a child, grew up in Los Angeles and went on to become an award-winning public radio reporter. Here's her story.

El Salvador has the world's second highest murder rate – more than 4,300 murders last year alone. That's just behind Honduras, its neighbor in Central America. The United States has poured hundreds of millions into anti-gang efforts in Central America but nothing much seemed to change until just a few months ago, when the Catholic Church stepped in to broker a truce between the two gangs in El Salvador.

From El Salvador: Gang Homicides Down Dramatically – Due to U.S. Funded Program?
The United States has long ties with El Salvador. In the 1980s civil war, the U.S. backed the government of El Salvador despite it's serious human rights abuses. Now there is a new partnership between the U.S. and this country wracked by poverty and gang violence. Under Secretary of State for Civilian Society, Democracy and Human Rights Maria Otero visited El Salvador recently while our reporter, Ambar Espinoza, was in the country on assignment for Round Earth. Espinoza sent us this report about a new U.S. role in El Salvador, a country that used to make headline news in the U.S. and is now almost forgotten. Here's Ambar Espinoza:
Otero visited a police precinct where a U.S.-funded pilot program has reportedly succeeded in reducing the homicide rate in the town of Lourdes Colon by 40 percent. Lourdes Colon is a community that has been highly affected by gang-related crime and violence.
Otero said the United States is assisting the police force in Lourdes to gather information using simple technology, such as extracting information from the cell phone chips of gang members in order to gather intelligence. The program offers police with equipment and training for investigations, prevention and community policing.
In 2009, Lourdes Colon had 319 homicides; in 2010, 285 homicides; in 2011, 184 homicides. "Overall, the decrease they have seen is a decrease that appears to be real," said Otero. "This is important because it is a model that is not just going to…find anyone with a tattoo and put them behind bars. It is really an effort to understand how you gather intelligence, it is an effort to understand how it is that gang members are linking to others to extort, to carry out different crimes, to even kill each other."
Otero said security in El Salvador affects security in the United States. "Part of the issue of security, not just around the United States but around the world, is one that is a very important piece for our own overall security, our national security," she said. "Generally, I think being able to make sure that countries are secure and are stable and are safe ensures that their citizens can stay in the country. It ensures that they can also develop economically and even become an important source of economic interaction with the United States."
The program also integrates a youth mentorship program between the police and a local school where elementary and middle school students learn strategies for how to stay in school and on track for college, prevent getting involved in gangs and maintain a healthy relationship with their parents.
"It [the work] is involving the community in a very real sense to make sure that they are active in this work," said the under secretary. "It's putting cameras in different places. It's giving radios to policemen. It's creating a 9-1-1 that allows them to deal with issues that even extend beyond gangs, like domestic violence…"
This model pilot program will be replicated in the country's second largest city west of San Salvador in Santa Ana, another city highly affected by gang-related crime and violence.
Round Earth reported about gangs from Nicaragua. Here's that report.

Gang Truce in El Salvador
Among the hardest-hit victims of extortions by gangs in El Salvador are private businesses, big and small.
On Tuesday, March 27 Monsignor Fabio Colindres, the head army and police chaplain responsible for mediating a ceasefire between El Salvador's two major gangs, shared details of the gang truce with the National Association of Private Enterprise—in Spanish Asociación Nacional de la Empresa Privada (ANEP).
Reporters waited for Colindres outside of the ANEP offices ready to ask more questions and Colindres made time for them as he exited the ANEP premises in a white pickup truck.
Colindres said the gangs "are showing a sign of good will" by agreeing to reduce homicides, and are asking for opportunities in education and employment in order to survive in society.
Reporters sought clarification about the gang leaders' specific requests under the mediated agreement. Colindres said the gangs were requesting humane prison conditions for their terminally ill members—most are HIV positive, said Colindres. They requested to spend their last days in the company of their families as Salvadoran law permits. Reporters raised concerns that a truce sounds temporary, but Colindres said he asked the gangs to agree to something more permanent than a truce.

From Ambar Espinoza in El Salvador: Is the Salvadorian President cutting deals with gangs?
Ambar Espinoza writes from El Salvador where she is reporting for Round Earth Media — look for our stories on NPR and also in the media in El Salvador. Round Earth Media's reporting from El Salvador is supported by the Stanley Foundation.
What an interesting time to be back in El Salvador. This week (Wednesday, March 28) at a press conference President Mauricio Funes denied the Salvadoran government negotiated any deals with leaders of the country's two violent gangs, Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13) and Pandilla 18, in order to reduce homicides—El Salvador has among the world's highest homicide rates (66 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010). This is the first time Funes addressed the country's latest development.

Remember the "Marxist Threat" in Central America in the 1980s?
President Mauricio Funes of the leftist Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front took office a year ago in El Salvador. The former TV journalist was elected on the ticket of the FMLN, this after a 12-year civil war and after the former Marxist revolutionary group turned into a mainstream political party. The right wing Arena Party had ruled the country since the end of the civil war. How's Funes done in his first year in office? Reporter Ambar Espinoza addresses that question as we plan our reporting trip to Central America.

In El Salvador, War Wounds Still Fresh
From journalist Ambar Espinoza in El Salvador, the country of her birth:
My family took me to El Puerto de La Libertad, which is a port that was established in 1824. The pier was built in 1829 to export indigo and coffee to Europe and the United States. Ships no longer come to this harbor to load and unload cargo because the pier eventually became too old and antiquated. Now trade takes place at El Puerto de Acajutla, which has a far more sophisticated infrastructure.

Questions for Ambar Espinoza
How horrifying to live in a country where one must believe these telephone calls and do what the caller demands. The situation is different in Nicaragua where we interviewed former gang members in Managua (photo left). About El Salvador, three essential questions arise.

Los Angeles glam metal jokesters STEEL PANTHER have revealed that they will perform at the wedding of NICKELBACK frontman Chad Kroeger and singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne.
A video message from STEEL PANTHER guitarist Satchel and bassist Lexxi Foxx in which share their excitement about taking part in such an event can be seen below. Kroeger contributed guest vocals to and collaborated on the song "It Won't Suck Itself" from STEEL PANTHER's 2011 album, "Balls Out". "We play a lot of shows, and we have weekly residencies in L.A. and Hollywood," STEEL PANTHER drummer Stix Zadinia told Audio Ink Radio. "Chad was in L.A. for a while, and he would come to our shows and get up onstage and jam. We got to know him, and at one of the shows, we were like, 'Dude, we should write together!'" Kroeger did the classic, "Yeah, bro!" But for a while, nothing came of the friendly exchange. "We kept saying it enough times that finally, we were like, 'Let's do it.'" When STEEL PANTHER was in Vancouver, they called Kroeger. "We started writing the song together from scratch, and it's a true collaboration," Zadinia said. "It wasn't a riff lying around that hadn't been used yet or something that was recycled. We walked out of there with the core of what is that song."STEEL PANTHER To Perform At KROEGER-LAVIGNE Wedding

The Right Stuff: How AP Changed One Father's Priorities
By Greg Stone
**Originally published in the Summer 2007 Secondary Attachments issue of The Journal of API
How nice it would be if we didn't need jobs! Every morning we would wake up saying, "What should we do today? Let's go have some fun!" But alas, for most of us jobs are a reality if we want to keep a roof over our heads and our bellies full. So we must make the best of it.
I'm an airline pilot, and I consider myself very lucky. Everyone has heard the fascinating stories about pilots who only work four days a month, only fly to exotic destinations, and spend their downtime vacationing at their ski lodges in Aspen. I can assure you that those tales are a stretch.
But being a pilot is, for the most part, a fun career. I have more time off than a normal nine-to-five job offers. I'm fortunate to occasionally travel to some exciting places, and there are times when I can take one week of vacation time and juggle my schedule to turn it into three weeks off. My family and I are able to travel every once in a while, and we do it at very reduced ticket prices. But it's not all roses.
Unlike most jobs, when I go to work, it's for four days at a time. I've missed quite a few holidays, birthdays, and bedtime stories. Sometimes when I come back from a trip, I only have one day off before I head back out again. That comforting, familiar Monday through Friday routine that most families are accustomed to doesn't exist for our family, and as you can imagine, this leads to some significant parenting challenges.
When a Job Becomes Work
In the past, I loved going to work, and if I had a big stretch of time off from the airline, I might go back early and pick up a trip just because I missed flying. It was fun to jet out to different cities – being behind the controls of an airplane is a blast. Now that I'm a father, my feelings have completely changed. When I have days off with my family, that's exactly where I want to be. I wouldn't dream of going back to work early. While I'm at work, I'm counting the days and sometimes hours until I can go back home.
As challenging as the travel is for me, I'm sure it's even harder on my wife Pam and our three-year-old daughter Sophia. We have spent several holidays apart, and they've gone to lots of family and friends' gatherings without me…not to mention the fact that with me out of town for several days, Pam is effectively a single parent. She's got to handle all of the trials and tribulations of daily life with a toddler with no sanity breaks for herself.
It's tough for Sophia, too. She misses me terribly when I'm gone, and she doesn't have the same kind of routine and predictability in her life that many other kids do. Therefore, we do as many things as we can to make up for the time that I'm away and to maximize the time that I am home.
The Importance of Togetherness
The most important thing we do is make an effort to spend a lot of time together. It doesn't have to be something "special." Anything will do as long as we're together. I'll sometimes take Sophia with me around town when I'm running errands, and she loves to help me with any sort of task that I'm doing around the house.
We plan to do at least one activity together as a family every time I come home. There are times when I'd love to go on a guy's hiking trip in the mountains or go off on some other adventure, but instead, we opt for outings like the Curious George visits at the Children's Museum. We also find that on the first day that I come home from a trip and the last day before starting a trip both Sophia and I need some extra time to be together.
Staying Connected While Away at Work
We make sure to tell Sophia one day ahead that I have a trip "after this sleep." That way, she knows what to expect. She and my wife drive me to and from the airport, and on those rides, I always ride in the back seat with Sophia playing games and singing songs together.
While I'm on trips, I call several times each day to touch base with my family. Sometimes, I think, out of hurt, Sophia doesn't want to talk to me, but Pam will hold the phone to her ear and I'll say a few words so that she can hear my voice. Other times, we'll have great conversations. I can only imagine what's going through passengers' minds when they walk through the terminal and see the pilot barking into his cell phone like Clifford the Big Red Dog!
Family First, Work Second
The challenges my job presents to my family situation have made me reconsider my career goals. An airline job is based on seniority. The more senior you are, the better the schedules and pay. Normally, the progression is to start at a small company, build experience, and work your way up to a higher status on the list. As you move up, your schedule and overall quality of life as a pilot improve dramatically, but you don't always go to the same exotic destinations that the big airlines do. After a while, you can move to one of those large airlines and start the whole process over again, but the kicker is that you end up at the bottom of the list and get the least desirable schedules even if it involves flying to glamorous places like Paris and Hawaii.
I've decided that being able to spend more time with Pam and Sophia is the most important priority for me, and I plan to stay at my small airline and enjoy the quality of life.
My job definitely gives me much more time at home with my family than a normal job would, but it's not perfect. We still have to be creative in the way we do things to maintain that solid family bond. My career goals have changed, and I make conscious choices in the activities I choose during my time at home to maximize my attachment with Sophia. And they are choice, not sacrifices. After all, what is more than good parenting?
