Too often, the Philadelphia sports fan has been dismissed as a lout, a boorish dolt immune to reason, his vocabulary whittled down to a singular “boo.” This is particularly true when it comes to Phillies fans, who are more likely to turn on their team than any other in the city. Although the Eagles, Sixers and Flyers may hear it from the rafters when they’re not going well, only the Phils will hear it when they are.

While the greater urban density offers reduced per-capita energy consumption rates, contemporary urban revitalization has brought a greater amount of people into closer contact with their energy sources. The unique geography, and increased securities needs, of urban areas demand both reliability and local proximity in energy source production. Urban siting issues will …

Fernando Carrión Mena
Desgraciadamente en el país aún no se han hecho estudios para determinar los costos económicos reales de la violencia; sin embargo, se puede afirmar que son más importantes de lo que uno se imagina. En el caso nuestro, podríamos hacer una aproximación a partir de dos entradas distintas, para mostrar esta afirmación. Por un lado, inferir lo que ocurre en el Ecuador a partir de un estudio que el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo - BID hizo en el año 2000 para América Latina y, por otro, utilizar la información proporcionada por las empresas de cuanto gastan en seguridad.
