In pursuit of a ‘better’ city, less tangible values become paramountnew
Travel magazines thrive on tourist recommendations that puncture popular myths about seemingly familiar places. In San Antonio’s rapid transformation across a number of sectors, today’s mapmakers can be excused for mostly missing the boat.

Amy Winehouse, R.I.P.new
Many in the online peanut gallery are saying that the death of Amy Winehouse was "inevitable"—that the gamut of her gossip-page-worthy problems was going to result in sadness no matter what. It is hard, as someone who has watched the music news cycle up close for the past few years, to think that she hadn't already had enough tragedy befall her, to wonder if this particular closing chapter wasn't preventable somehow by not rushing her back to the stage when she clearly wasn't ready, or if the point-and-gawk cycle was just too powerful.

Protest Rules: Against Big Oil in Montananew
The last night of the Earth First! 2011 Round River Rendezvous was one of the quietest nights of the almost weeklong gathering. The environmental activists slept at their campsites in the Lolo National Forest, awaiting a 5 am wake-up call for an action against Big Oil that would use chants, signs and “sleeping dragons.” After days of workshops and training sessions, participants knew the action would target the tar sands route and oil pipelines; they knew their legal rights and they knew how to practice civil disobedience and direct action as safely and ethically as possible.

CD REVIEW: Cultsnew
Take two NYU grads: Madeline Follin (vocals) and Brian O'Blivion (guitars and goofy name). Give them the keys to '60s girl group records and the reverb switch. Commence a pop record that's a mix of The Supremes and Belle & Sebastian.
