The Wire: Truth Be Told
Welcome to the critically acclaimed HBO drama series The Wire, hailed as "the best show on television, period" by the San Francisco Chronicle.The New York Times calls it "a vital part of the television landscape...unvarnished realism " Time declares that The Wire, "like its underfunded, workaday cops, just plugged away until it outshone everything else on TV." The Wire stands not only as riveting drama but also as a sociopolitical treatise with ambitions beyond any television serial. The failure of the drug war, the betrayal of the working class, the bureaucratization of the culture and the cost to individual dignity -- such are the themes of the drama's first two seasons. And with every new episode of season three and beyond, another layer of modern urban life will be revealed. Gritty, densely layered, and realistic, The Wire is series television at its very best, told from the point of view of the Baltimore police, their targets, and many of those caught in the middle. Rafael Alvarez -- a reporter, essayist, and staff writer for the show -- brings the reader inside, detailing many of the real-life incidents and personalities that have inspired the show's storylines and characters, providing the reader with insights into the city of Baltimore -- itself an undeniable character in the series. Packed with photographs and featuring an introduction by series creator and executive producer David Simon, as well as essays by acclaimed authors George Pelecanos, Laura Lippman, and Anthony Walton, here is an invaluable resource for both fans of the show and viewers who have yet to discover The Wire. Hollywood has long used the cop drama to excite and entertain, and Hollywood has always dictated the terms. But The Wire is filmed entirely in Baltimore, conceived by Baltimoreans, and written by rust-belt journalists and novelists intimately familiar with the urban landscape. It's as close as television has yet come to allowing an American city to tell its own tale..

The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Steel Wire Made in Steel Mills Producing Wire Rods or Hot-Rolled Bars
This study covers the world outlook for steel wire made in steel mills producing wire rods or hot-rolled bars across more than 200 countries For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved..

The 2007 Import and Export Market for Iron or Steel Wire Cloth, Grill, Netting, Fencing, and Expanded Metal in Venezuela
On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal in Venezuela face a number of questions Which countries are supplying iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal to Venezuela? How important is Venezuela compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal vary from one country of origin to another in Venezuela? On the supply side, Venezuela also exports iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal. Which countries receive the most exports from Venezuela? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal in Venezuela. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal for those countries serving Venezuela via exports, or supplying from Venezuela via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Venezuela fits into the world market for imported and exported iron or steel wire cloth, grill, netting, fencing, and expanded metal. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Venezuela in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Venezuela is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Venezuela compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes..
