First phase of 'X-Treme' park to open next spring

Work is proceeding near Louisville's waterfront on one of the nation's most elaborate parks for "extreme sports." The planned locations of some features of the "X-Treme Sports Game Park" have been moved around to accommodate a pillar that someday may be built on the site to support a ramp leading to a new downtown Ohio River bridge. The first phase of the park, for which the city has budgeted $2.5 million, is due to be completed next spring.

Handheld devices give workers leg up

Aramark’s use of wireless technologies in an old-line business is just one example of how wireless is changing workplaces — and, many say, improving them. Twenty percent of the U.S. workforce is mobile, and those employees will be able to do their jobs more effectively by having access to company records from the road.

Living wirelessly

Randy and Martha Eshleman believe that they have found the formula for family harmony with their teens: five cell phones plus two pagers. The Eshleman teens are representative of what marketers and demographers are starting to call Generation W — a wireless generation at ease with the latest technology and contributing to a new family dynamic that's far more mobile yet far more connected than in the past.
