Overview of Charlotte
Some say you only need to visit Charlotte once. Why's that? Because after you experience this city's charm, you'll end up moving here for good. Charlotte is the home of NASCAR, big banking, and mega-churches-but that doesn't quite do "Queen City" justice. Charlotte apartments and rentals also connect you with a down-home community that's big on doling out enthusiastic welcomes. How will you feel about this friendly city? Visit once and find out!
Living in Charlotte
"Charlotte Town" was named for Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the queen consort of British King George III. They married shortly before the town's incorporation in 1768. Queen Charlotte is also the source of this burg's nickname, "Queen City." Charlotte's other nickname, "the Hornet's Nest," arose during the Revolutionary War. When occupying British General Cornwallis got the boot from ornery Charlotte residents, that's what he called the place. After the Civil War, Charlotte became a center for cotton processing and a hub for the railroads. Then banking boomed here in the 1970s. North Carolina Nations Bank transformed into Bank of America and became the countries largest.
If you aren't familiar with Charlotte, downtown here is known as Uptown. During the day, it's all business. In the evening, however, nightlife takes the reins. From this central district, neighborhoods radiate out in all directions. NoDa, or North Davidson, is where to go for gallery hopping and great local restaurants. Myers Park is all about high-end housing. Need to do your shopping? Head to SouthPark and check out the mall.
Work & Study in Charlotte
Charlotte is best known as the second largest banking center in the United States, just behind New York City. Bank of America is based here and Wells Fargo operates their East Coast Operations in town as well. If you're not in the financial industry, don't worry. Major employers in Charlotte exist outside of banking. Big names include Lowe's, Goodrich Corporation, Nucor, and Duke Energy. This city is also hot for motorsports-you may end up working for NASCAR. Energy and trucking are other industries of note in Charlotte.
If you're hoping to learn a thing or two in this town, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is the city's largest educational institution. There are quite a few other respectable schools in the area, too, including Davidson College, Charlotte School of Law, Johnson C. Smith University, and Queens University of Charlotte.
Cost of Living in Charlotte
Charlotte comes in slightly below the national average when it comes to cost of living. You can score yourself a Center City loft, a cute Craftsman bungalow in Dilworth, or one of the many apartments around town. The average two-bedroom apartment in Charlotte rents for $1,039 a month. The vacancy rate here has been hovering near ten percent, which helps keep prices low.
Charlotte Attractions & Entertainment
When the workday is done, Charlotte locals relax in two key ways: they go to church and they go to the speedway. Queen City is known for its active religious life-you'll find places of worship just about everywhere you look. You'll also be living close to the races. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is located here, as is the Charlotte Motor Speedway. If you prefer your sports without engines, the Carolina Panthers of the NFL and the Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA both play in town.
Charlotte residents also take advantage of the U.S. National Whitewater Center. Head there to try your hand rafting the world's largest man-made recirculating river. Carowinds is the nearest amusement park. For a quieter day out, visit the Billy Graham Library, Discovery Place, or check out a show at NC Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.
Charlotte Special Events
If you're seeking a celebration in Charlotte, you won't have to look far. This city keeps busy with religious festivals, sporting events, and many other species of family-friendly fun. Among the highlights of the local calendar you'll find the Taste of Charlotte, the Time Warner Cable BBQ & Blues festival, and the Food Lion Speed Street 600 Festival. Need more? The Festival in the Park has been happening annually for near 50 years, bringing music, food, and art to the good people of Charlotte.
If you're considering renting a Charlotte apartment, why not let Rent.com® offer some assistance? Take a look through our listings to discover what kind of housing awaits you in Queen City.

Nissan hits back at Fiat for criticism of Leaf styling
Photo credit: Bloomberg
TOKYO -- The gloves are off in a war of words over electric vehicle styling, with Nissan blasting Fiat for its recent dig at the Nissan Leaf's looks and saying if any car is guilty of "visual pollution" it is some of the Italian brand's own designs.
"Let's face it, Fiat has not shied away from controversial styling themselves," Nissan head of global marketing communications Simon Sproule told Automotive News Europe sister publication Automotive News today. "Many would describe many of their products as visual pollution. Take a long, hard look at the Fiat Doblo."
A Fiat spokesman in Turin declined to comment.
Sproule's barb came in response to comments made by Matt Davis, head of Fiat product marketing, before last month's debut of the all-electric Fiat 500e at the Los Angeles auto show.
"Let's be honest, ugliness is probably one of the worst forms of pollution," Davis told Bloomberg News in a veiled critique of Nissan's electric vehicle. "The Fiat 500e proves that you do not have to give up on good looks to deliver an electric car."
The Fiat Doblo is an example of the Italian automaker's "visual pollution," Nissan says. |
Fiat is grudgingly offering an electric version of its Fiat 500 minicar in the United States to meet California emissions requirements. It expects to lose $10,000 on each it sells. The battery-powered 500 will not be sold in Europe.
Nissan's Sproule said that unlike the Fiat EV, the Leaf is a "fully functioning" car for families and daily use.
He said it was disingenuous for Fiat to criticize Nissan's EV efforts, which include spending billions of dollars on EV assembly plants and charging infrastructure, when the Italian company is simply offering a me-too car to appease regulators.
"They chose the smallest vehicle in their range with the least amount of passenger functionality," Sproule said. "I don't think they have the credibility or the hardware to stand behind these kind of statements. Either you're committed to it or not."
U.S. sales of the Leaf are disappointing. Through November, sales were down 5 percent to 8,330 vehicles from last year. But concern about range and charging infrastructure – not looks – is the main reason people might pass on the car, Sproule said.
"I think we got the balance right," Sproule said. "You've got enough uniqueness and visual clues to tell its something different, but it's still very recognizable as a five-seat hatchback, fully functioning, absolutely competitive with the packaging of the Golf or any other mainstream vehicle."

Max the Magnificent
WOW -- this is WONDERFUL -- I expect to spend a LOT of time roaming around your ...
We run the www.cryptomuseum.com website. On our (physical) collection we have ...
A package just arrived on my desk…
Clive Maxfield
Ever since I first heard of magnetic wire recorders I've been interested in these little beauties. The way I did hear about them was when a guy from England regaled me with the tale about how his grandfather had built his own wire recorder in the 1940s.
When this guy found a box of his grandfather's recordings, he acquired and adapted an old Webster-Chicago wire recorder to play back the spools, whereupon he heard all sorts of interesting things, including the voices of his great grandparents and also his mother as a little girl.
Of course these days we are all so used to having digital video cameras and audio recorders that we tend to forget how relatively new these things are in the scheme of things. As recently as the 1930s and 1940s, however, it was rare for non-professionals to have access to any form of recording medium.
I don't know about you, but I would love to be able hear my mother's voice from when she was say 10 or 15 years old in 1940 and 1945, respectively (I don't mean that you would want to hear my mother's voice … stop being so picky … you know what I mean!)
Anyway, the reason I am waffling on about this now is that, a few weeks ago as I pen these words, I received an email from Rick Curl – an engineer who lives in Birmingham, Alabama, which is a couple of hours' drive away from me. A reader of EE Times in general and my columns in particular (he is obviously a man of fine taste and discernment), Rick had only just discovered that I "hang my hat" in Huntsville, Alabama. Since Rick was coming up to Huntsville to pick up some circuit boards that were being manufactured for him, he asked if he might drop round to my office on the way.
Well, Rick is a man after my own heart (not the least that he shares my love of Dr. Who). We had a wide-ranging chat about all sorts of things. For example, Rick brought an interesting circuit to show me (and almost electrocute me … I have a video of the occasion I need to post on YouTube). In turn, I showed him some of the weird and wonderful things I have lurking in my office, including my real-world ENIGMA machine, which had Rick drooling with desire.
All of this leads us to the fact that, just a few minutes ago at the time of this writing, a package landed on my desk. In it was a letter from Rick and a small box. In the letter, Rick said that he and his wife Cynthia had been at a flea market near the end of the day when they saw a seller about to throw away a spool of magnetic recording wire because he didn't know what it was. Knowing my love of this sort of thing, Rick kindly sent the spool to me, and I just took a picture of it as shown below:
Her ewe see the spool itself in the upper-right -- a small pamphlet in the lower-right, and the box for the spool in the lower-left. The re-boxed spool now sitting in pride of place on the bookshelves in my office.
Now, I'm not sure if this is a virgin reel, or if it contains some recording gem from the past. Eeeek! Do you remember that incredible Dr. Who episode Blink? This episode just popped into my mind. It has me wondering… what if I were to find myself an old Webster wire recorder and load this spool, would I hear an ethereal voice saying something like "Max, listen to this very carefully, because…"?

"Max, listen to this very carefully, because…"
whether or not you choose to accept this mission this tape will sef destruct in 10 seconds...
David Ashton
Be a bit more difficult to get wire to self-destruct though? Then again, just run a heavy current thru it and it will fuse. You can't do that with Mag Tape.
Max the Magnificent
Hi David ... you would obviously be an interesting man to hang out with :-)
Sadly you don't always get what you hoped for from old recordings. This is my sad tale.
I found some reel-to-reel tapes from the 1960's, which based on the label I thought contained a series of my grandfather's relativity physics lectures. When I paid to get them converted to CD I found they were just a series of old programmes record off the radio. No recording of my grandfather exists anywhere, so he is gone forever. I've never been so disappointed.
I need a time machine to fix this, but ironically he didn't leave me a recording of the relativity physics needed to make one. Of course if I could build a time machine from that information then one theory states that "cosmic censorship" may have occurred, which deleted the recordings to prevent a paradox!
Max the Magnificent
Hi Nicholas -- I'm real sorry to hear that -- I can only imagine the disappointment -- but it was worth trying "just in case"
I wish I could hear my mom and dad talking from when they were young
Strange to think that folks today grow up with every expectation of being able to see videos of themselves throughout their lives...
It is even a challenge to play back the old reel-to-reel tapes sometimes, since the cloth belts used as take-up reel clutches in some of those Webcor machines are hard to find replacements for. My 3-motor tape decks are much simpler, but they don't handle 1 7/8 IPS tapes.
I also found a stack of tapes, in an old house being demolished. One of them sounded a whole lot like Aretha Franklin singing at somebody's birthday party. Unfortunately there is nothing available to verify that.
Listening to a wire recording is more challenging because those magnetic heads have a tendency to wear out, and the wire is a bit of a challenge to work with. The "new type" plastic leader that should be on the reel in the picture did make threading the machines much easier. And a playback amplifier can be a simple 3-tube package, not hard to duplicate at all.

Remember the old science fiction films -- there was always a bunch of tape drives (for computer data) running in the background...
Opps! "...the angels have the police box..."
Got it mixed up with Inspector Spacetime....
Max the Magnificent
This was such a brilliant episode -- I've heard it said that if you want to introduce someone to Dr Who, this is the episode to show them ...
In fact I watched it again myself this weekend...
I see wire recorders from time to time in antique shops. I'm not sure that they're worth repairing. The sound quality is pretty bad, which is why the tape recorder blew them away almost overnight. If you have a supply of wire recordings that may be of value, I can't imagine that it would be difficult to build a player from modern parts. You could probably even compensate for the distortion caused by the wire twisting.
I've often thought of building a piano roll player since old piano rolls are everywhere and the pianos are hell to move and restore.
Max the Magnificent
"I can't imagine that it would be difficult to build a player from modern parts."
Cool beans -- let me know when you've finished and we'll try playing my spool of wire on it :-)
Piano roll player? You mean a digital one? Maybe you can modify a flatbed scanner to scan the roll and then use sw to play it? :)
If you want more HW, add a robot that plays it on the piano :)
Great idea! The scanning bar could easily detect the holes. There's plenty of free and open source software to do the rest.
I was interested in hearing the music, but it might be fun to have a "Max" mannequin playing a piano - Hawaiian shirt and all!
I was thinking along the same lines...at least the part about scanning piano rolls. I did a quick search and found that it is already being done: http://www.trachtman.org/rollscans/
it was 'only' in the late 90's that a company I was with was replacing wire recorders in a military system for a solid state version.
wire recordings were preferred over plastic tape, as thay were all but indestructible.
Oh do I remember the day when the take up spool 'broke loose' and the wire shot all over the office. health and safety had no procedures for wire recorders.... after that , it was kept behind a screen.
out of interest, if you have a wire to read, you "can" do it with a magnetic pick up and a computer. 'just' draw the wire at a constant speed, record, and correct for speed on the computer.
I think the use of magnetic wire lasted a lot longer than most people would think. At my previous employer, we purchased a state of the art CNC milling center from a European company (in the late 80's early 90's). It had magnetic wire programing. There was a spool in the control cabinet with what I assume was the default program settings.
Max the Magnificent
Wow -- I'd never even thought of using them for CNC machines -- but it makes sense -- about 15 years ago I went to a PCB manufacturing facility here in town to get a few boards made and they still used paper tape to control their CNC machines (like the drills and suchlike)
Duane Benson
My dad used wire recorders back in his military days. I've never personally seen one and your photo of the wore spool is the first I've seen of that. I do have some old reel to reel tapes that have voices of my parents when they were quite young and may have my grand parents on them.
I found an old tube reel to reel player but haven't gotten around to getting it up and running yet. I suppose I should soon or the tapes may disintegrate.
Max the Magnificent
You should copy the contents of those tapes onto CD before they fade away -- there are services that will do this for you if you are too busy
Out of curiosity, any idea of the typical range of strength of magnetic fields stored on the recording wire? Sufficient enough to deflect a compass needle? Activate a sensitive reed relay?
... and aren't certain types of insects sensitive to magnetic fields?
Max the Magnificent
Hi Douglas -- I love your new "AntHill Inside" icon/image -- did you create that yourself?
No idea of the strength of the magnetic field on the wire -- it cannot be too high I wouldn't have thought
Well, I personally loved Pratchett's idea for his Discword computer, "Hex". So an online search to see if I could find more details turned up this image, which appeared, briefly, in the "Hogfather" DVD. Apparently, there's also a guy online, who sells all sorts of Discworld paraphernalia, and provides these as stickers, etc.
After all, who knows... "ant colony optimization algorithms" and all that.
Anyway, for wire storage of audio frequencies I suppose I'd expect the physical extent of the magnetic domains to be rather small, sub-millimeter, even at two feet per second. And so accordingly, the field strengths as well.
But for useful non-electronic storage of binary data, as an alternative to punch-cards or paper-tape, it may not need to be so limited. Especially for several spools geared to run in parallel.
Then, if this type of wire is of an alloy *particularly* suitable for magnetization, then reading back your data might be accomplished with a set of compass needles ( mechanically interfaced through sensitive torque-amplifies ). Or electrically interfaced through the contacts elements of reed-relays.
And, perhaps, mechanically writing data might be accomplished with a device having a set of small hammers with magnetized heads.
A perfect project for folks who have the right tools and too much time on their hands!
We run the www.cryptomuseum.com website. On our (physical) collection we have German and Russian wire recorders, the small ones. Really beatiful marvels of engineering from the past.
It might be a good idea to klick this link for the Protona wire recorder from Austria. This recorder was very widely used by all secret services, including the CIA. It had a secret microphone build inside a watch. The watch has no mechanics and is not running. The story goes that an agent was caught on an airport since he wore 2 watches: The one that worked and the one with the microphone. Anyway, enjoy this link:

WOW -- this is WONDERFUL -- I expect to spend a LOT of time roaming around your website -- thanks for sharing

I don't.
I don't.
come to my hangout thread - its the best ever
It was a bit.
Follow me on Twitter @joe361 and visit ZooZaZoo.com
I ain't letting no dude touch my pin.
come to my hangout thread - its the best ever
No I don't think he is gay. I do think he is a crazy drug addict though.
And RC also.
KC strikes me as a dude that would get pilled up and dance with guys.
I don't think the guy was ever gay or is gay but he had/has a serious problem with booze and other shit.
The substances got him in, er, "situations."
Have derision, will travel
Yes I do. My best friend growing up was a lot like KC. Big, strong Catholic sports guy who used to mock me for "looking at pictures of girls butts" but LUVVVEEDDDDD to wrestle. I'll let that last part sink in for a minute.
He never dated a girl throughout HS and college but he was always critical of the dozens of chicks I dated. Then there was that incident in college where he and some frat buddy were down at the lake and somebody hit on somebody. The details were never clear. After that my buddy sorta devolved into paranoid skitzofrenia (I'm not even going to try to spell that correctly) and ended up on the streets, offing himself at 36.
So, yeah.
Howard was jealous of KC's good looks plus he probably wanted his cock so he was making up gay shit about him.
My fave song parody of all time......
So sayeth the Snot!!!! ...........
I imagine his father was a lot like the dad in Heathers who said he loved his dead, gay son.

We went to the second of 3 sold out nights that Kenny played at Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Denver, CO. Even though it poured rain the entire night, I don't think anyone left early! We had a great time. Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker were great opening acts. Kenny put on an awesome show, had a lot of energy, a great set list and the whole audience was very into it. We were drenched by the end of the night, but it was a very memorable night. We will be attending every future Kenny Chesney show in CO. Already have our tickets for July, 2012!!

This has been the best concert I have been to I just saw George Straight and Reba and didn't think it could get better than that I was wrong Kenney is as good. The Zac Brown was phenominal their talent if overwhelming and entertaining Just a Great concert
[13 of 23 customers found this review helpful]
The tailgating and social aspect prior to and during the show is great. Kenny is an engaging performer who puts his heart and earnest best into every show. My wife and I have seen Kenny many times and in many different venues. The ticket price is worth it just to see him. The artist that open for him are the best in the business which just adds that much more value.
[22 of 26 customers found this review helpful]
Anyone who loves Kenny loves Kenny. Always the rush of the next song. Never stop dancing and singing. Would see him anywhere. Las Vegas 2009 was crazy He is always amazing. Almost cried when I thought no tour this year. I am going both nights!

Biden Obama Russia China And BRIC Whos Conspiracy Is It?
Author: Jachin // Category: New World Order, NWO ConspiracyPresident Obama, Vice president Biden along with Russia, China, North Korea and the Rest Of BRIC New World order Agenda. Now Who's Conspiracy is it?
During a financial conference with major banks on April 12th VP Joe Biden openly, and plainly called for a NEW WORLD ORDER (Video Footage Below) the same NEW WORLD ORDER Mainstream media has gone to great lengths to deny even resorting to smearing many talented researchers. The very same way that Mainstream Media and Obama denied FEMA Camps, but now openly admit they exist. When is America going to wake up and understand that America is being led down a very dark path, and that the Media will lie through its teeth without remorse, and not very much ridicule from the public. The public still takes what they say as stamped in stone.
Bush Sr New World Order Speech
If t his is not enough for you that Now Biden openly admits it just like George Bush SR did (See videos below), he further calls for new forms of financial institutions and even goes further and states we need a level playing field by updating global rules. What rules? He states China is prospering. So are we headed to a system like China? It has long been speculated we helped China form as it has and it was a test model for the New World Order. Even with China's horrific human rights violations past Secretary of State Kissinger praised them years ago. Why not, it is said he played a part in helping them gain what they have today.
In a personal conversation I had with David Icke a few years ago after reading a lot about Kissinger I asked David Icke if he felt that China was a model for the New World Order. Icke seemed surprised I asked the question, but quickly replied absolutely. Is this a fact? We do not know, but it is certainly worthy of our attention, and comments of late are certainly beginning to support it.
Bidens seems to be referencing the presidents pivot toward Asia. Placing a greater focus on the Asian region.
Biden makes these comments on the heels of the US increasing our presence in the Pacific, supposedly in response to threats from North Korea.
I am not settled on the whole North Korea business at all. China has a long-standing defense treaty with North Korea. Therefore anyone who would attack them would Face China as well, and they are a force to be reckoned with. It is a fact that China is building up troops on the Northern North Korea Border as we speak. Fact! Now we hear that China has signed an arms agreement with Russia. So they are now allied together. I am very unsettled over the whole scenario.
Now Cuba is starting to comment. At first telling North Korea to consider the impact on other Nations should they pull some stunt, mainly themselves I am sure. Now Cuba is leaning toward North Korea.
Biden's New World Order Speech comes only a week or two after China and Russia announce, along with other world powers, a new economic order that will rival the in place Western dominating financial system.
Biden stated "the affirmative task we have now is to create a New World Order." I suppose now the NWO Conspiracy Theorist are hopping like mad. Better yet those who have condemned the NWO Conspiracy Theory community must feel a bit embarrassed, they will not dare show it as rationalizing will be the over-whelming response as normal.
He continued: "Because the global order is changing again, and the institutions of the world worked so well in the post-World War II era for decades, they need to be strengthened, and some need to be changed."
"So we have to do what we do best, we have to lead," he stated. "We have to update the global rules of the road, we have to do it in a way that maximizes benefits for everyone, because obviously, it's overwhelmingly in our interests. This is not a zero sum game, it's overwhelming our interest, that China prosper, that Mongolia prosper, that nations big and large, East and West (prosper). We have to level the playing field so that companies and workers can compete in the world, that the competition is fair and it's healthy."
On Friday, WND published an article asking whether the Obama administration's military build-up in the Pacific is part of the president's so-called pivot-toward-Asia strategy, a move that could demonstrate the biggest shift in world power since World War II?
Why have we not in any form responded to past aggressive statements from North Korea. It is not as though they just gained Nuclear Capability. We did not even respond when North Korea in 2009 performed two nuclear tests that created 4.7 seismic activity nor did we respond when North Korea Torpedoed a South Korean Ship killing 46 sailors. Why now? Why because of even less aggressive action Obama states we will or must respond?
Why is the U.S. now responding to North Korea?
Time magazine says the "U.S. pivot toward Asia – and the potential for confrontation with China – became a little more real this week with the arrival of a new class of warship designed to fight in coastal waters."
That pivot has been declared by the Obama administration itself – a professed strategy of putting a greater focus on the Asia region.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel "made clear the U.S. and the Department of Defense remain committed to the re-balance towards the Asia-Pacific region,"
Hagel told Loong (of Singapore) that "in the future there will be even more opportunities for closer collaboration between the U.S. and Singapore," Little said.
A New Economic World Order?
Ironically all this happens at the time that the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – seek to create a monetary system to rival and even surpass the West. Few pay much attention to this not even the media give much to do.
Also receiving little media attention, at the annual summit the BRICS group revealed what they claim was a new development bank geared toward breaking the monopoly held by Western-backed financial institutions.
$50 billion of seed capital shared equally between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa but dominated by China.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia gave support for the bank, and India's stated BRICS will "have a defining influence on the global order of this century."
"It's done," said South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan last Tuesday, adding "we made very good progress" on the formation of a World Bank-analogue development agency.
Iran's Press TV has this to say: "The BRICS bank will present an alternative solution to the Western-dominated global banking system comprised of the Bretton Woods institutions – the World Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF)".
"The new bank will provide a collective foreign exchange reserve and a fund for financing developmental projects in order to address the needs of emerging and poor economies."
Press TV reported, "BRICS members say the current global balance of power is unworkable, with institutions such as the WB, the IMF and the United Nations Security Council irrelevant in addressing matters concerning global economics."
The countries of BRIC have agreed to remove half of their trade exchanges out of the U.S. Dollar. – a devastating blow to the US dollar!
My Economics 105 professor stated years ago that if the world ever stopped trading oil in US dollar it would set us back in the stone ages in a year. Maybe the 40-50 billion the Federal Reserve is printing out of thin air monthly is holding this back, but can for only a short time. One thing I know for sure and said in 2007 when it was not popular and mostly unknown, the derivatives market will be our death because it cannot be manipulated once it begins to crumble, and it is weakening and will crumble. Of course our US experts remain skeptical of any effect on us. That is in insanity to say the least.
Joseph S. Nye, a professor at Harvard University, wrote in the Australian newspaper: "Tellingly, the meeting in Durban failed to produce any details of the structure of the proposed new development bank, suggesting that little progress had been made in the year since the BRICS' last meeting in New Delhi, where the plan was announced."
Continued Nye: "In fact, despite a commitment to launch "formal negotiations" to establish the bank, disagreements about the size and shares of the bank's capital have not been resolved."
The New American took the other side, arguing the BRICS bank is a step closer toward a world government: "Aside from a planetary fiat currency and central bank, the erection of a true world government was at the heart of BRICS regimes' machinations outlined in their final agreement."
The publication pointed out the BRICS declaration at the end of last week's summit included, "We reiterate our strong commitment to the United Nations (U.N.) as the foremost multilateral forum entrusted with bringing about hope, peace, order and sustainable development to the world."
The BRICS statement added, "We reaffirmed our commitment to the promotion of international law, multilateralism and the central role of the United Nations."
BRICS clearly sees a reshaped economic world in which government-run companies play a significant role. (Agenda 21 – Public Private Partnerships?)
"We acknowledge the important role that State Owned Companies (SOCs) play in the economy and encourage our SOCs to explore ways of cooperation, exchange of information and best practices," the declaration states.
"As the global economy is being reshaped, we are committed to exploring new models and approaches towards more equitable development and inclusive global growth."
Many, I am sure view this as a problem, and should. Perhaps differently than I do. They see it as a means to destroy the Western Monetary Monopoly. I see it as perhaps the beginning of a true New World Order in which we will enter into, and are already at the top complicit with if not behind all together. The dollar must fail. Mathematically it has to. Perhaps a conflict with North Korea, South Korea and the USA will give excuse for a dollar collapse and enable the failing of the dollar at the same time give the very ones who caused it an out or at least plausible deniability. Nah, just another NWO Conspiracy Theory Right?

Being what it is at the moment, Bulgaria is one of the few European countries outside Russia where there are no BBC World Service FM broadcasts. The reasons are many and complex (see Vagabond No. 29 or visit http://vagabond.bg/?page=fun⊂=7&open_news=1178 but they boil down to the Bulgarian Electronic Media Council, the watchdog supposed to supervise how Bulgarian radio and TV stations adhere to their licences, rejecting the Beeb's permission to broadcast on FM in the Sofia area. The arguments may have been different, but the fact is that Bulgaria followed Russia in banning the World Service from its airwaves.
However, hundreds of expats and Bulgarians who have little knowledge of the inner workings of Bulgarian bureaucracy feel that their legitimate right to English language information has been infringed. Whether you like or dislike the BBC's editorial content, they argue, you are in an EU country where information of the BBC kind must be freely available.
Many Bulgarians also want the BBC back because in its broadcast they found a source of news unparalleled in its objectivity and accurateness. Some add that the BBC World Service was also being used as a freely available TEFL method: what better way to brush up your English than listen to the kind of language being used on the Beeb?
So, Vagabond started the Facebook cause on http://apps.facebook.com/causes/222474
In less than a month, the number of people who joined us in their support of reinstalling the BBC on FM in Sofia soared to over 1,100. As these are both expats and Bulgarians of very varied political and cultural inclinations, background, profession and interest, we thought that we have a legitimate cause to contact the responsible government bodies and urge them to restart the BBC World Service in the Sofia area.
Martin Zaimov, a prominent banker and now deputy chairman of the Sofia City Council, initiated a letter addressed to the Bulgarian Electronic Media Council and the BBC, and copied to the offices of the British and Bulgarian prime ministers and the FCO in London, which will be dispatched shortly.
Miss your BBC World Service news? It is not too late to get it back on FM in the Sofia area. Join us on http://apps.facebook.com/causes/222474
We are writing to urge you to reverse a recent decision by the Bulgarian Electronic Media Council to take the BBC World Service off the air on FM frequency in Bulgaria.
To justify its decision, the Bulgarian Electronic Media Council, the watchdog body in media regulation, cited the BBC World Service's failure to include Bulgarian language broadcasting on its FM frequency. This in turn had been preconditioned by the BBC's earlier decision to discontinue its Bulgarian Section.
However, we feel that the reason cited by the Electronic Media Council in Bulgaria is but formal. The Electronic Media Council never mentioned anything about serving the public interest in Bulgaria, and we think that with its editorial mix of unbiased information, quality education and intelligent entertainment the BBC does serve the Bulgarian public interest a lot better than many domestic electronic media.
Another important reason for bringing the BBC back to Bulgaria is the increasing number of foreigners settling for business or pleasure in Bulgaria, a fact that has been the direct consequence of Bulgaria's accession to the EU and NATO.
Last but not least, the BBC has been used by many Bulgarians who wish to improve their English language proficiency. In the EU country with the least spread knowledge of foreign languages we feel that a free source of high quality news and entertainment in English can certainly be considered to be in the interest of the general public.
We herewith urge you to use your bona officia to bring the BBC World Service back on FM in Bulgaria because otherwise Bulgaria will continue to be the only EU country that effectively enforces an air ban on what we consider to be probably the best source of information in the world.

The margin of victory was slim for newly elected Prosper town council member Michael Korbuly during last Wednesday�s runoff election. Korbuly received three more votes than candidate Kelly Cooper � 373 to 370 � to win the election.
Korbuly will now complete the unexpired council term of Dave Benefield (Place 1), who resigned in June during his first term on council to become senior pastor at River of Life Church in Mason.
Cooper received a plurality of votes during the initial election in September but failed to secure the required majority. That forced a runoff between her and Korbuly, the candidate who received the second most votes. Cooper received 267 votes (49 percent) to lead the initial four-candidate ballot, and was followed by Korbuly, who received 204 votes.
During a special town council meeting held Tuesday to approve the runoff results and swear in Korbuly, town attorney Rebecca Brewer explained that the Texas Constitution requires an elected official serving a term in excess of two years to be elected by a majority of votes, which is defined as 50.01 percent. Prosper council members serve three-year terms.
The Prosper town charter also requires a candidate to receive a majority of votes to win an election. After failing to secure either a plurality or majority of votes during the initial election, Korbuly made up significant ground in the month leading up to the runoff to finish with 50.2 percent.
�It was a tough campaign and very stressful,� Korbuly said. �I�m relieved and ready to move the town forward. We have a lot of great things happening, so now it�s just about moving on and going from here.�
Prosper residents will head back to the polls Tuesday, Nov. 6 to cast their votes in the general election. In addition to voting in a collection of county, state and national races, they�ll be weighing in on an issue closer to home � whether to allow the sale of all alcoholic beverages for off-premise consumption only within town limits.
Currently, only beer and wine sales are allowed in Prosper. Approval of that ballot measure would be an initial step toward the opening of liquor stores.
Early voting for the general election continues through Friday.

It's finally summer, and I for one can't resist enjoying more of the longer, warmer days with meals in the great outdoors. Instead of welcoming friends in from the cold, I relish ushering them outside for lingering dinners on the deck. Is it just me, or does everything taste better when eaten outside? Whether it's a camp site, your cottage, the beach or your own backyard, dining outside offers the perfect opportunity to entertain outdoors enhanced by mother nature.
Alfreso meals are the kind you can prepare in the cooling breezes of a summer morning and serve care free for supper that night without heating up the kitchen. In true Virtual Supper style we have whipped up a menu that delights all of your senses. Lets see what we have cooked up for you with this months theme. From informal after work gatherings to elegant, fine china brunches, this menu will provide you with some key tips and recipe ideas to help make your alfresco suppers a major success.
Jerry of Jerry's Thoughts, Musings and Rants starts our alfresco dinner off with a Grilled Pizza with Prosciutto, Arugula, and Lemon. The dough develops a yeastier, more complex flavor from a 24-hour resting period in the refrigerator. You can also use store-bought dough and make the process even easier.
Mary Ann of Meet Me in the Kitchen wowed us with a Summer Lemon-Vegetable Risotto. Asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash and sugar snap peas all combine together for this heavenly dish.
Jamie of Mom's Cooking Club brings along a refreshing Summer Peach and Tomato Salad for a well rounded meal.
I brought along an entree of Poached Salmon with Creamy Herb Sauce. Poach the salmon in the cool breezes of early morning, perhaps not that early, whip up the sauce and dinner will on the table in minutes when the time comes.
Roz of La Bella Vita 's Chocolate-Amaretti Peaches from the pages of Cooking Light are a fitting end to our alfresco dining. Shaved bittersweet chocolate and amaretti cookies from your local specialty or gourmet markets and you have a winner!
Sandi of The Whistlestop Cafe accompanied dessert with Peach Ice Cream. Cooling and refreshing, a perfect ending.
**Poached Salmon with Creamy Herb Sauce**
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons sliced shallots
- 6 black peppercorns
- 4 lemon slices
- 2 parsley sprigs
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sorrel
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 8 cups torn Bibb lettuce (about 5 ounces)
2. To prepare sauce, combine mayonnaise and next 9 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl; cover and chill.
3. Cook peas in boiling water 1 minute or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain. Arrange 2 cups of lettuce and 3/4 cup peas on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 salmon fillet and about 3 tablespoons sauce.
