Litigation Release No. 19022 / January 4, 2005
Securities and Exchange Commission v. TV Azteca S.A. de C.V., Azteca Holdings, S.A. de C.V., Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Pedro Padilla Longoria, and Luis Echarte Fernandez, Civil Action No. 1:05-CV-00004, (D.D.C.) (Filed January 4, 2005)
The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia civil fraud charges against TV Azteca S.A. de C.V. (TV Azteca or the company), a Mexican issuer whose American depository receipts trade on the NYSE, its parent company, Azteca Holdings, S.A., de C.V. (Azteca Holdings), and three current and former TV Azteca officers and directors, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Pedro Padilla Longoria, and Luis Echarte Fernandez. The SEC alleges in its Complaint that the defendants engaged in an elaborate scheme to conceal Salinas's role in a series of transactions through which he personally profited by $109 million. The SEC complaint also alleges that Salinas and Padilla sold millions of dollars of TV Azteca stock while Salinas's self-dealing remained undisclosed to the market place.
In its Complaint, the Commission alleged that Salinas and others caused TV Azteca or Azteca Holdings to file periodic reports that did not disclose Salinas's involvement in related party transactions between Unefon, a subsidiary of TV Azteca, and a private entity secretly co-owned by Salinas, called Codisco. In the related party transactions, Salinas purchased from a third party-at a steep discount-approximately $325 million of indebtedness owed by Unefon to the third party. At the time that Salinas purchased the indebtedness, he was aware that Unefon was in negotiations with another large telecom company which would provide substantial cash to Unefon, and enable Unefon to pay off the full amount of the indebtedness that Salinas had purchased at a discount. Only three months later, when Unefon closed the deal with the other telecom company, Salinas profited by $109 million upon Unefon's repayment of the debt at full value.
The Commission alleged that TV Azteca filed the false reports with the SEC, concealing Salinas' involvement in the Unefon debt transactions, despite receiving advice from its U.S. counsel that these transactions were material, reportable transactions under U.S. federal securities laws. While the company provided general disclosure of the transactions, it refused to reveal information crucial to investors: that Salinas was behind the transactions and personally profited from them. TV Azteca's resistance led to the eventual resignation of its U.S. counsel, who told the company's board of directors and management that it was resigning consistent with its obligations under Section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The Commission further alleged in its Complaint that in various filings and public statements from June 2003 through January 2004, TV Azteca and its management discussed publicly the Unefon debt transactions while either failing to disclose Salinas's involvement, or, in several instances, falsely denying Salinas's involvement. For example, Salinas publicly denied any connection to Codisco in response to a query by the press regarding market concern that he may have been affiliated with Codisco. TV Azteca's U.S. legal counsel subsequently discovered the news article containing Salinas's false denial and advised Padilla that corrective disclosure was necessary. Despite the falsity of the statement, and the advice of counsel, the defendants did nothing to correct Salinas's false denial. Further, in communications with TV Azteca's independent directors, Salinas, Padilla and Echarte intentionally withheld information from, and even lied to the directors about Salinas's connection to the underlying transactions and his $109 million profit. Salinas and Padilla compounded their fraud by executing false Sarbanes-Oxley certifications.
The Commission further alleged in its Complaint that after the resignation of TV Azteca's U.S. legal counsel and a Dec. 24, 2003, New York Times article concerning the matter, Echarte sent an email to Salinas and Padilla, stating, "The damage is done and the situation that we didn't want to explain openly is now in the hands of the public." Shortly thereafter, on Jan. 9, 2004, TV Azteca issued a press release confirming that Salinas indirectly owned half of Codisco.
The Commission alleges in its Complaint that the defendants violated or aided and abetted violations of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), 13(b)(2)(B), 13(b)(5), and 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-14, 13a-16, 13b2-2, 13d-1 and 13d-2, thereunder. In its action, the Commission is seeking a final judgment enjoining the defendants from future violations of the federal securities laws, imposing civil money penalties, and ordering the defendants to furnish accountings and to disgorge their ill-gotten gains, plus prejudgment interest. The Commission also seeks in its actions orders barring Salinas and Padilla from serving as officers or directors of any publicly-held company with securities trading in the United States.
In a consent filed simultaneously with the complaint, Echarte settled the SEC's action against him by agreeing, without admitting or denying the complaint's allegations, to the entry of a final judgment permanently enjoining him from violating, and aiding and abetting violations, of Sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and from aiding and abetting violations of Sections 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-16 thereunder. Echarte also has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $200,000 and disgorgement of $1.

Bob Calhoun, a former state lawmaker said last week the Virginia Port Authority violated the spirit of a lobbying ban he helped craft in 1994.
Calhoun for seven years worked as the state lobbyist for another Virginia-based transportation authority, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. However, MWAA, which no longer employs Calhoun but has a federal lobbyist, says that because its structure differs from that of the VPA it is not subject to the prohibition on lobbying.
"We're aware of the statute but it doesn't apply to us" said MWAA spokesman Rob Yingling, when asked about the lobbying ban for state agencies.
"MWAA was created by an interstate compact between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia (and approved by Congress) ... to acquire by lease Washington Dulles International Airport and Ronald Regan Washington National Airport," according to an opinion written by the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council.
The airports authority has argued in court that Virginia FOIA law does not apply to it because of its structure, as well.
The Daily Press first reported on a decade-long lobbying arrangement between the VPA and a federal lobbyist. The VPA's board chair said that for two years, commissioners were in the dark about the situation, which the agency and the Attorney General's Office are now studying.
MWAA did eventually cut ties with Calhoun, who lobbied in Richmond on its behalf from May 2005 to April 2012. Yingling said that was a response to a U.S. Department of Transportation inspector general's report. The report, he noted, had criticized MWAA's no-bid lobbying contract through which Calhoun, a former MWAA board member, was selected.

Super Rugby
Waratahs call in Fittler for help
March 26, 2013

Claiming former New South Wales Waratahs coach Michael Foley had the "advantage" of inside knowledge, current mentor Michael Cheika pulled out his own ace ahead of Sunday's match against the Western Force.
To combat Foley, Cheika called in a favour from rugby league legend and good friend Brad Fittler on Tuesday.
Fittler was a surprise starter at NSW training in Sydney and certainly didn't hold back, taking full reins as he ran the backline, even scoring a try at one point, as the Waratahs soaked up the skills and wisdom of one of Australia's greatest rugby league five-eighths.
Back at a ground on which he knows every blade of grass after a decade at the Sydney Roosters, Fittler worked particularly closely with Waratahs five-eighth Bernard Foley - during and after the extended 90-minute session.
A long-time friend of Fittler's, Cheika said inviting the former Test and State of Origin star was worthwhile "all day, every day".
"It goes without saying all the guys will listen to him," the Tahs coach said. "Just for something different, but already you can also see he has added something to our game. Hopefully he'll be able to sneak a few bits into the game on the weekend as well."
Cheika acknowledged the different skill sets in rugby league and union.
"But you can't deny the skills that he brings to the game," he said. "It's obviously a big bonus for us to have him down here. You only had to see how much they were listening. He was pretty much replicating shapes he was looking to get them to play. He was really good."
Fittler even spent time working with front-rowers Benn Robinson and John Ulugia.
"Passing is the same for props and flankers as it is for five-eighths," Cheika said. "Passing is passing and that's a big thing our guys have been working on this year - our tight-five players in particular - and I think they're getting better at it, being able to play with the ball."
Saying the Waratahs "look strong", Fittler offered "just little tips we've got here in league that we've learnt over a long time".
"The games obviously have their differences," he said. "They've got to get in the rucks and mauls and stuff like that - but just some things that we do, they're all basic, very basic."
The match will be the first meeting between the two sides since Foley resigned from NSW last year to join the Force, a move that opened the door for Cheika to join the Waratahs.
Cheika insisted the head-to-head coaching battle was "irrelevant", but admitted Foley's inside knowledge "gives him a definite advantage, yes".
"I'm sure he'll be using that in preparation for the game," he said. "(But) there's no such thing as a coaching match-up. Players play the game - the coach just sits in there and stresses."
Cheika said he expected scrum-half Brendan McKibbin to recover from his shoulder injury in time to tackle the Force and that Wallabies hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau would also be available for selection after being sidelined for two weeks.

What do you consider exotic? I wonder if the more I cook and eat, the fewer things will be able to fit in that category. I think of hard to find ingredients as exotic, so that would include things like kaffir lime leaves, zucchini blossoms and wild game. Dishes from other cultures that I've never tried certainly are exotic, if not always appetizing (fried grasshoppers, anyone?).
In my mind, the word exotic conjures up a stereotypical image of a sultan's tent with bright fabrics flowing from overhead, music involving a sitar and the scent of warm, aromatic spices wafting through the air. That is what I had in mind when I made up the spice mix for my rack of lamb. I did not adhere to the culinary traditions of any particular culture, but included all my favorite exotic spices to create a vaguely Turkish blend, resonant with the bitter vanilla tang of cardamom, the smokiness of cumin, the wintry spice of cloves and the heat of pepper. I toasted most of the spices whole and ground them in a mortar. The result was an intensely sweet, smoky and spicy crust all over the edges of the meat due to a quick sear followed by roasting to a gorgeously rare interior.
The only thing that could go with the lamb was an equally exotic quinoa dish that took on a more Moroccan bent with its spicing of intense Vietnamese cinnamon and good, sweet paprika. This recipe came from a Passover menu in the latest issue of Bon Appetit. I love using currants in grain dishes like this or the couscous I made here.
The inspiration for this exotically spiced meal was our wedding anniversary. The actual date was Monday, but it has gotten a bit drawn out over several days of celebration. We went out for a romantic dinner on Saturday, but we also wanted to cook something special at home since that is one of our favorite ways to spend time together both now and before we were married one year ago. Even though I use my "exotic" spices as often as anything else in my pantry, they still transport me out of our Florida condo and into that mysterious sultan's tent. That great bottle of Zinfandel, lush with blackberry, may have had something to do with it too.
I like to grind whole spices because you get the most intense, fresh flavor this way. If you want to substitute any of the whole spices in the recipe for ground, go right ahead. If you don't have one of the spices, leave it out. These quantities are just a guideline, so alter them to suit your tastes or your pantry's inventory.
Serves 2
8 green cardamom pods
1 tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. whole coriander
½ tsp. anise seeds
¼ tsp. red chile flakes
5 whole allspice berries
½ tsp. black peppercorns
2 whole cloves
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 frenched rack of lamb (8 rib chops)
coarse salt to taste
1 tbs. olive oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add the first 8 ingredients to a dry skillet (not nonstick) on medium heat and toast until very aromatic, 2-4 minutes. Add the spices to a mortar or spice grinder, remove the cardamom seeds from their pods, discarding the pods, and grind the spices. Stir in the cinnamon.
Lightly score the fat side of the rack of lamb my making "X's" with a paring knife. Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb, covering it thoroughly. You may have some leftover. Season all over with salt.
Heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over high heat. Sear the lamb, fat side down, until browned. Turn with tongs and sear on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the skillet to the center of the oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes for rare to medium-rare meat. The meat should still feel somewhat soft when pressed with tongs. Let it rest in the skillet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into individual chops. Serve immediately over the quinoa.
Spiced Quinoa with Carrots, Zucchini and Currants
Adapted from Bon Appetit
Serves 3
2 c. low sodium chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
1 c. quinoa
¼ c. dried currants
1 tbs. olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 zucchini, diced
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. sweet paprika
In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the quinoa and currants, return to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until quinoa is tender.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat until quinoa is done.
Put the vegetables over medium-low heat and add the cooked quinoa to the skillet along with the cinnamon and paprika. Toss to combine and cook for 2-4 minutes to toast the quinoa and bring out the flavor of the spices. Remove from heat, drizzle lightly with olive oil and serve.

Had these for a year and put over 150,000kms on them and there is still decent tread left (well for summer anyways). I do a lot of hwy miles in Northern Ontario and have never been let down by these tires in the snow. Reliable handling and bite in harsh conditions with very little road noise on dry road at hwy speed. Will be replacing with the same tires this fall!

I switched from a "H/T" tire to these "A/T" tires and the performance in the snow is substantially improved, I found no noticeable difference in ride quality, handling, or in the noise produced by these tires. I am very pleased with these tires and will consider Cooper tires for any future purchases.

Live in Michigan.
I put these tires on my 2016 Yukon XL in November.
Relatively mild 2016-2017 winter but when it snowed the performance from the Discoverer M+S was excellent. They were so much better in the snow than the OEM Continental tires that it was hard to believe. Worth the investment. Very small increase in road noise but easily worth the trade-off for improved traction and safety. 7K miles and they still look new.
I have these tires on a 3/4 ton plow truck; when they wear out I will replace them with another set.
I've ran mine in the winter only. Handles great in the mud and snow. I rotate them every 6,000 miles. About to run them on winter #4. Everyone complaining about the road noise should've known a tire with this many sipes is all about traction. You get more noise and traction at the same time. Also snow tires are designed for weather at 40� or colder. Warmer weather will make them wear faster. After 3 winters and over 50,000 miles, I still am at 7/32 tread depth.
These tires had a 60,000 mile warranty on them and they looked and rode great but the tread wear didn't last past 40,000 miles and I had to change them. I DID NOT buy Cooper's the next time.
Did great in all snow/winter conditions. The trailblazer goes anywhere with these on. With deep snow, rarely need to put in 4 wheel drive. Tread still looks new after 1st winter driving.

Maps represent and depict regions in the Grand Theft Auto series to enable the player to navigate smoothly throughout the game without getting lost or losing direction. The maps show the geographic location of the setting of the game and play a vital role in traveling to missions or evading the police wanted level. Every GTA game has had a map which varies in clairity and size. Below is a list of every game map in the GTA series.
2D Universe
2D maps, which depict cities navigated through aerial view with simple graphics, feature rectangular ("squared-off") blocks and streets.
Liberty City
- Game: GTA 1
- Based on: New York City
- Description: "The so-called "gateway to freedom", where millions of Europeans first entered the USA, is everything you imagined it could be and more. Glamorous and cynical, hard-edged and soft-livered, beautiful and damned, it is a city living on the edge. From the glamor of Island City to the down at heel bums of The Brix, this is truly the city that sleeps with one eye open. Founded on land bought from Native Americans for just $37, a barrel of mead and a sack of feathers by Belgian settlers in 1603, the ancient 5 boroughs of Liberty Island (incorporating Nixon Island and Law Island), The Brix, Estoria, Kings and Brocklyn have effectively been joined in the metropolitan area by urban areas from the neighboring state of New Guernsey.
Whether you have lived in Liberty all your life, or are visiting for the first time, there is always something new to see. From the tragedy of Law Island, where a plague out break once killed a million immigrants awaiting transfers to the mainland, to the ethnic charm of Island Heights, to the galleries and sky scrapers of downtown Island City, there is so much to see and do.
What really makes Liberty City, though, is the people who choose to live there. From plague to city-wide bankruptcy in the 1970s, from new dawns to broken promises, these people have lived through it all, secure in the knowledge that as long as they have coffee in the morning and an easy buck to make, things can't be that bad. Liberty City has acquired a terrible reputation for violent, organized crime over the years. Yet, as the mayor's office spokesman says, "Liberty City used to be a very violent place, but since we took office, it now has the 47th lowest murder rate of any cite on the eastern sea board". Nonetheless, inexperienced visitors are advised to avoid The Park at night, when drug-addled squirrels run wild, keep out of Kings at day or night, and to avoid The Brix at any given time."― Official GTA 1 website > Cities > Liberty City
San Andreas
- Game: GTA 1
- Based on: San Francisco
- Description: "Old world Latin charm and new order Pacific rim technology live happily side by side in San Andreas, the city of the future. San Andreas, which expanded rapidly following the famous 'Fool's Gold Rush' of 1869, has long had ties with the orient. Today, this is reflected in it's thriving oriental communities. As well as Korean and Japanese populations, the city boasts the ninth largest Chinese population in a major city with a two word name anywhere in the world. It has long been rumored that the Chinese control much of the organized crime on the west coast from a laundry in San Andreas's Chinatown, but no one has ever been able to substantiate these claims, although some have disappeared while trying. Conflicts between Mexican and Chinese communities are common in the area, which also has long been associated with the peace movement. In 1968, hippie students occupied an area to the west of Sunrise, and founded a commune. The dispute with the authorities ended when the Governor sent in a crack team of SWAT operatives, who rapidly ended the confusion. The area has subsequently become known as Soviet Hill. The city of San Andreas grew up around the natural harbor to the south of the modern city. This harbor was formed by the geological fault line which will one day tear San Andreas apart. Seven major earth quakes have rearranged the city, and it sometimes feels as if the people know they are not here to stay. From hippies and Hari Krishna to gangsters and policemen, everyone wants a piece of the action on their own terms in this thriving, 23 hour a day city." - Official GTA 1 website > Cities > San Andreas
Vice City
- Game: GTA 1
- Based on: Miami
- Description: "A former Spanish slaving colony, Vice City, or City of the Fallen Angel, holy mother of all and yet of nothing (to give it its nish name), is a city that revolves around just one thing; money. From the retired doctors and lawyers of Vice Beach to the cocaine dealers of Little Bogotá, everyone is desperate to show off just how much they can spend in this subtropical paradise. The downtown area of Felicity is so-called to reflect the fortune early settlers felt at arriving at such a beautiful place. Modern-day visitors might feel slightly-less fortunate if they take a wrong turning and stumble into the nastier corners of Little Dominica. More than anywhere else in America, Vice City is the archetypal 'melting pot', with large Caribbean, Colombian and European communities, always feuding with another, often with very violent consequences. The once-peaceful Rastafarian community has become a haven for Yardie criminals who found the going a little too hot in Kingston, and their clashes with the Colombian drug lords have given western Vice City an unenviable reputation. Initial attempts to control the troubles by the Police Department failed following revelations of wide spread corruption and drug trafficking within the force, and the problems have. Vice City now boasts the highest murder rates, the highest amounts of drug-related crime and the least respected police department of anywhere in the USA. Still, it's not all bad. As Mrs. Mary Clam, President of the Tourist Board, told us 'Vice City has a deservedly bad reputation as a very dangerous city, but as long as visitors stay out of the downtown area, only go out in daylight hours and never leave their car, they stand a very good chance of survival. Besides, we serve the best tacos in the south-east, and there's no denying the Vice City orange juice is the finest in the USA. As we say in these parts, our welcome may not always be friendly, but it's always warm." - Official GTA 1 website > Cities > Vice City

- Based on: London
- Description: As the name implies, GTA London 1969 takes place in London in the year 1969. The player once again enters the role of a criminal looking to work his or her way up the career ladder of organized crime. The temporal setting has been exploited through a number of cultural and historical references, including the appearance of a James Bond-like character and the usage of more or less authentic slang. In addition, the cars drive on the left, as is the case in Britain. London, along with Manchester from GTA London 1961 are the only real life cities used in the entire GTA series, and also the only games in the series to be set outside the U.S. They are also the only games in the series to have the same protagonists, albeit 8 years younger.
- Game: GTA London 1961 (multiplayer mode only)
- Based on: Manchester
- Description: The map of Manchester is only used in multiplayer, while the main game takes place in London, just like GTA London 1969. GTA London 1961 is the least known game in the series, simply because the game was not heavily promoted by Rockstar, is only available as a download, and does not feature prominently on the Rockstar Games website.
Anywhere City
- Game: GTA 2
- Description: Anywhere City is a retro futuristic city set in the year 2013, set 14 years after the game was made in 1999. Inspired by other locations in fiction and the real world such as Metropolis, Blade Runner, and possibly Tokyo with its neon lit streets, dark dingy buildings and heavy corporate and fascist government control. Buildings tend to look dark and grey with neon lights to light them up, in each district of the city the gangs that own the areas within them tend to have arcitecture suited to their look and theme. (The rednecks living in a trailer park, the Zaibatsu having large Orwellian style buildings such as ones you would find in old communist russia, adorned in red banners displaying their logo and the Loonies living in the insane asylum while the Scientists occupy a massive laboratory). The vehicles that drive around it are typically retro futuristic as well, featuring designs from the 30's, 40's and 50's and combining them with modern or future tweaks. As for the population of the City there isn't much about what they look like, but police force looks quite millitant. Crime is rife in Anywhere City with pickpockets and car thieves at every corner, not to mention heavy gang control and rivalry as well as corrupt government. The City is split up into 3 disctricts, Downtown, Residential and Industrial each occupied by 3 gangs. The Downtown District is populated by the Loonies, Yakuza and The Zaibatsu Corporation. Here you will find big businesses and shops. The university is located here with some docks and the insane asylum. The Residential District is home to the Rednecks, Scientists and also the Zaibatsu Corporation. Here there is the police headquarters, the Alma Mater Prison, a military base, the Zaibatsu Village, the Redneck's large trailer park and the Scientist's laborotories. The Industrial District is the last area of the city, the gangs that live here are the Hare Krishna, The Russian Mafia and once again the Zaibatzu Corporation. Locations include factories, although there are also blocks of flats and a small village in the northwest, Mad Island. Mad Island is populated by a gang which always attacks Claude, regardless of Claude's respect level. The Zaibatsu Corporation seem to own a lot of the pharmaceutical business in the city, (With The Scientists owning some of it). Drugs range from a wide array of uses, from energy stimulants, fake breasts that look and act like the real thing, baby food, self-reliant sedatives and probably much more. They own a big chuck of the city, including its electricity grid and have wide influence over Anywhere City as a whole. Everyone in the city uses futuristic weaponry as well, including body modifications such as invisibility and electro fingers. All these themes help to make Anywhere City a city set in the future with its themes and plots.
3D Universe
With GTA III, curved streets became graphically possible, thus being introduced on maps. In GTA San Andreas maps began to represent more than urban landscapes, as natural areas, such as forests and deserts, and rural areas, such as farms and small towns, were also introduced.
Liberty City
- Games:
- GTA Advance
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- GTA Vice City (briefly)
- GTA San Andreas (briefly)
- Based on: New York City
- Description: The GTA III map was the first map in the 3D Universe. It was also the first map to feature curved streets and was the first map not to have a squared off look typically seen in older games. The city is divided into three islands (first time implemented) which are: Portland Island, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. Note that the northern area of the map is not normally accessible to the player, but is still part of the radar map. Liberty City is next featured in the opening cutscene in Vice City, however only inside Marco's Bistro. Liberty City is also featured in GTA San Andreas, albeit briefly in the mission Saint Mark's Bistro. Liberty City is also featured in The Introduction, a 20 minute movie explaining the events that happened before the main storyline, replacing the need for GTA San Andreas Stories.
Vice City
- Games:
- Based on: Miami
- Description: The map of Vice City is split into two main islands, the Mainland (left) and Vice Beach (right). The city features two main beaches, one stretching the entirety of the islands.
San Andreas
- Game: GTA San Andreas
- Based on: California and Nevada
- Description: The GTA San Andreas map depicts the State of San Andreas. The map itself is the largest map in the 3D Universe and was the largest in the entire series before Grand Theft Auto V. What makes this game map so unique is that it holds three major cities with airports, various small towns, and massive mountains with a seemingly endless wilderness. San Andreas is also featured in The Introduction, a 20 minute movie explaining the events that happened before the main storyline, replacing the need for GTA San Andreas Stories.
Cities and Counties
HD Universe
In GTA IV, a GPS line was introduced to guide the player in getting to their destination. In GTA V, the map became three-dimensional.
Liberty City and Alderney
- Games:
- The Lost and Damned
- The Ballad of Gay Tony
- GTA Chinatown Wars (excluding Alderney)
- GTA V (in cutscenes only)
- Based on: New York City and New Jersey
- Description: The entire map is mostly urban with the exception of northern Alderney, the natural geography has been hidden away by the urban city except for the a few natural shorelines that still remain untouched. Instead of mountains defining the skyline like in GTA San Andreas, there are skyscrapers such as the Rotterdam Tower and the Cleethorpes Tower. On the in-game radar, the overall map is presented in black and white and there is a navigational system available that highlights the quickest legal route to a given location. Alderney doesn't appear in GTA Chinatown Wars, and while Liberty City does appear physically in GTA V, it only appears in movies aired at the movie theater.
Boroughs of Liberty City
Nearby State
Los Santos and Blaine
- Game: GTA V
- Based on: Southern California
- Description: The map from Grand Theft Auto V is the biggest map in the entire Grand Theft Auto series. It is bigger than GTA San Andreas, GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption's maps combined. Additionally, it is not recommended that the player traverse too close to the map borders out at sea as vehicles will no longer function. Planes will stall and crash into the sea whereas boats will stall and sink. This could pose a problem to the player as sharks roam the far reaches of the ocean and they will attack and kill the player if they wish. However, a skilled enough pilot may be able to safely land their plane if they can turn back to the mainland, wheels down, and find a flatish area of land in which to touchdown. As mentioned before this will require a lot of skill coupled with luck in order to meet the afore stated criteria.
North Yankton
- Game: GTA V (two missions)
- Based on: North Dakota
- Description: Only available in two missions in GTA V (Prologue and Bury the Hatchet), North Yankton is a mid-western state featuring the small town of Ludendorff. In both of the areas appearances, the region is covered in snow. Exploration of the map is considerably restricted as the map only serves as a plot element and not an actual explorable region. It is the only map in the Grand Theft Auto series to be landlocked.

Cluster of HIV-Positive Young Women -- New York, 1997-1998
As of July 1997, six human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in young women who reported sexual contact with the same HIV-infected man (putative index case-patient) were detected at health-service clinics in a rural county in upstate New York. During the next several months, other sexual contacts of the man were discovered by public health officials through routine voluntary partner notification interviews, interviews with exposed women, and after a public announcement resulted in counseling and testing of approximately 1400 persons in the county. This report presents epidemiologic and laboratory findings of the young women investigated as part of this cluster and suggests a common source of HIV infection for these women.*
For this investigation, female sex partners of the putative index case-patient were considered primary contacts, male sex partners of HIV-infected primary contacts were considered secondary contacts, and female sex partners of the HIV-infected male secondary contacts were considered tertiary contacts. Medical records of contacts were reviewed for demographic information, history of HIV counseling and testing, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) (i.e., syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and trichomonas), and drug and alcohol use. Blood specimens from consenting persons were forwarded to CDC for HIV DNA sequence analysis and for blinded serologic testing of specimens for syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis, and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). No blood specimen was available from the putative index case-patient.
Forty-seven primary contacts were identified and reportedly had had vaginal sex with the index patient: 13 (31%) of 42 tested had HIV infection. From these 13 primary contacts, 84 secondary contacts were identified; one of 50 tested had HIV infection. Sixty secondary contacts had sexual exposure to the primary contacts during the same period or after the primary contacts had sexual exposure to the putative index case-patient; one of 39 tested had HIV infection. Three tertiary contacts of the one positive secondary contact were identified; the one tested was HIV negative. One of three infants born to HIV-infected women was positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for HIV DNA. There was no evidence that the putative index case-patient or the HIV-infected primary contacts had had same-sex or needle-sharing contacts.
Blood samples for HIV DNA sequence analysis were obtained from 10 of the 13 HIV-infected primary contacts, the one HIV-infected secondary contact, and two HIV-infected persons from the community who were not epidemiologically related to the cluster (community-comparison persons). A nested PCR procedure was used to amplify proviral HIV DNA sequences from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from these 13 persons. A 345 nucleotide segment of the C2V3C3 region of the env gene and approximately 400 nucleotides of the p17 coding region of gag were sequenced and analyzed in a blinded fashion. Phylogenetic analysis of the 13 sequences was performed with reference sequences from HIV subtypes A-D, F, and G from the GenBank&/content/art30072.html/content/art30072.html#134; database for both the env and gag gene regions. Bootstrapping, a technique used to assess the relatedness of the viruses, demonstrated that all 13 sequences were from subtype B viruses (1). Sequences from the 10 HIV-infected primary contacts -- but not from the infected secondary contact, the two community-comparison persons, or subtype B reference strains -- clustered strongly together in both gene regions. The phylogenetic analyses indicated a high degree of relatedness among the viruses infecting the 10 tested primary contacts and suggest that the infected secondary contact was probably infected by a source not related to this cluster.
The 13 HIV-infected primary contacts reportedly had their last sexual exposure to the putative index case-patient during February 1996-January 1997 (Figure 1); 25 of the 29 primary contacts who were not HIV infected had last contact with him during January 1995-August 1997; data were missing for four. The median number of vaginal sexual exposures to the putative index case-patient was higher, although not significantly, for the HIV-infected women (six exposures; range: two-190 exposures) than for the uninfected women (three exposures; range: one-90 exposures) (data were missing for six) (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p=0.07). Median ages at first exposure to the putative index case-patient were similar for HIV-infected women (17.8 years; range: 13-22 years) (data were missing for one) and uninfected women (17.7 years; range: 14-24 years) (data were missing for 14). Among exposed women, HIV infection was not associated significantly with a history of STDs (10 of 22), cocaine use (three of 22), alcohol use (two of 16), or serologic markers for STDs (15 of 25). When analyses were limited to seven HIV-infected and eight uninfected women with exposures only after September 1996 (Figure 1), HIV-infected women had significantly more exposures to the putative index case-patient (median: three exposures; range: two-six exposures) than the uninfected women (median: one exposure; range: one-two exposures (data were missing for two) (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p=0.005).

Editorial Note:
The findings in this report suggest a common source of HIV infection for at least 10 of 13 HIV-infected women who independently reported contact with the same partner. The high rate of HIV infection among sexual contacts of the putative index case-patient over a period of many months raises the possibility that efficient transmitters of HIV exist and may contribute disproportionately to HIV transmission.
Reasons for the apparently high attack rate (31%) among primary sex contacts in this cluster are unclear. Persons with primary HIV infection (i.e., within several weeks after infection [2,3]) or those in the late stage of HIV infection (4) may be especially infectious because these periods are usually associated with high HIV viral loads (viremia). If the putative index case-patient was the common sex partner of these women, he probably was infected by or during February 1996 because the earliest date of last exposure for an HIV-infected primary contact was during February 1996. However, seven of 15 women whose first sexual exposure to the putative index case-patient was after September 1996 were HIV infected. These contacts probably would have been infected after the presumed period of primary HIV infection but before the late stage of HIV infection in the putative index case-patient (4). Thus, at least some HIV-infected persons, such as the putative index case-patient, may be highly infectious at times other than the primary or late stage of HIV infection.
Other characteristics may be critical in determining the likelihood of HIV transmission. Host susceptibility or infectiousness may increase as a result of inflammation or ulceration associated with STDs (5). For the susceptible partner, genital ulcerative infections (e.g., syphilis and HSV-2) are cofactors that facilitate transmission (5), but STDs were not significantly associated with being HIV-infected among the primary contacts in this cluster.
This cluster occurred despite other prevention successes in the county among youth (6). Discovery and evaluation of this cluster were possible, in part, because of the low background prevalence of HIV infection in the county (6) (i.e., relatively few new cases of HIV infection could be detected and followed by public health personnel) and a coordinated response by health officials enabled prompt epidemiologic and laboratory investigations.
This cluster of infection has implications for HIV intervention and prevention. Unrecognized social and sexual networks of youth at high risk for HIV and other STDs exist even in rural areas where HIV prevalence is relatively low, and these networks can facilitate the rapid spread of HIV infection. It is important for public health programs to provide effective HIV prevention services to youth in rural areas.

Hot Girl Shoe Shine Service Taking Over Wall Street
We've found one more thing everyone can blame on the financial industry: disrupting the shoe shine market. Financial executives from New York City's Wall Street are making the trek to Star Shine NYC, a shoe shine shop which employs attractive 20-something girls who wear tank tops and tight shorts while they polish the shoes of customers.
"A lot of people are comparing us to [Hooters], and I can't really argue," owner Kevin White, 30, told the New York Post.
Let's hope for Hooters' sake that White means people are comparing the girls and not the food. The shop charges $7 per shoe shine and $10 for a full boot shine. Both of those rates are nearly double what other local shops charge, but guys, naturally, don't mind, because all men are horn dogs.
"It's a lot nicer coming here than where I usually go — where my shoeshine guy is 75 years old," said one Wall Street trader.
Men are such simple creatures. If you recruited six attractive female dental students, you could offer free experimental dentistry without anesthetic and guys would bail on the doctor they have gone to since childhood just to be around hot girls trained to inflict pain on them.

Once again, it's up to Getzlaf to carry the Ducks offense
Photo by Arnold C, via Wikimedia Commons
I'm not going to lie to you: the Anaheim Ducks were a bad team last year. And they're probably a year or two away from getting substantially better. That's the kind of stuff that happens when you swap out Lubomir Visnovsky for Sheldon Souray, your best players have mostly peaked or are past their prime, you have to fire your Stanley Cup-winning coach mid-season, and the youngsters are not quite ready.
Yet, at the same time, this is an exciting team for me. I love watching Jonas Hiller and Teemu Selanne play; ditto Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf. I have a great appreciation for how Toni Lydman and Saku Koivu play the game, and Cam Fowler and Devante Smith-Pelly can be fun guys to watch on the ice.
But what makes up these 2012-13 Ducks, coming off a dismal 22nd-place finish in Fenwick Close? And why could they be slightly optimistic?
Projected Lines
Bobby Ryan – Ryan Getzlaf – Corey Perry
Kyle Palmieri – Saku Koivu – Teemu Selanne
Andrew Cogliano – Daniel Winnik – Devante Smith-Pelly
Matt Beleskey – Nick Bonino – Brad Staubitz
In the mix: Brandon MacMillan, C/LW
Cam Fowler – Francois Beauchemin
Luca Sbisa – Sheldon Souray
Bryan Allen – Toni Lydman
In the mix: Mat Clark, RD
Jonas Hiller
Jeff Deslauriers
In the mix: Viktor Fasth
Key Additions & Subtractions
Probably the biggest subtraction comes with the loss of Lubomir Visnovsky, who was a solid possession player and a great powerplay quarterback. His replacement is essentially Sheldon Souray, but the real message is that Cam Fowler is ready to be the guy.
Sheldon Brookbank and George Parros weren't major losses team-performance-wise, but Parros had long been a fan favourite so there's some sentimental loss there. Jason Blake wasn't a half-bad player at evens, but he was really past his expiration date if you were looking for offence out of him. Losing Dan Ellis doesn't hurt nearly as much when you're absolutely stacked with goaltending potential – the Ducks signed SEL stud Viktor Fasth to complement solid youngsters John Gibson and Frederik Andersen.
Bryan Allen was a solid (if a bit expensive) signing out of Carolina – he's taken on the toughs for years and plays well, but provides zero offence. He's great insurance if Sbisa can't handle the 2nd pair.
Finally, Daniel Winnik should slot into the 3rd line and play some hard minutes, a quality lacking in the rest of the bottom 6. Oh yeah, they signed ruffian Brad Staubitz as well. Yay.
What's to say that couldn't be said last season? There's loads of potential offence in this lineup, but depth and age are perpetually an issue. Ryan, Perry, and Getzlaf are all in their prime, and a bounceback from Getzlaf would go a long way towards bolstering his teammates' results.
Teemu was, and is always, Teemu: great on the powerplay, fairly sound at evens. He and Koivu had great chemistry last year and could continue forever in one another's arms. Beautiful.
The big story is what minty-fresh Kyle Palmieri can do with a full NHL season. He's more than proven himself in the AHL (33 goals in 51 games last year), and is ready to go. The only question will be what kind of ice time he receives.
In general, Winnik is the only guy who sticks out in the bottom 6, though Nick Bonino might have a litte upside. Smith-Pelly is a banger that negated the need for a Staubitz, but so it goes. Ultimately, this team should not come in 26th in the league in shots-for at 5v5 again.
Surprisingly, the Ducks were not necessarily a disaster defensively at 5v5 (9th in the NHL in shots-against), and with the addition of players like Winnik, Allen, and the return of Lydman, they should be able to hold their own in this regard. What they need to turn in their favor is spending less time on the kill; they tied for 6th in the NHL (with Detroit ?!) in most times shorthanded.
Lost in all the teeth-gnashing about Fowler's perceived "sophomore slump" was the fact that he was quite solid at evens and was the victim of extraordinarily bad puck luck, especially in terms of save percentage while he was on the ice (tied for 5th-worst among all defencemen with 20+ GP). It looks like he and Francois Beauchemin are a very good pairing, and I'd expect a full bounceback (by the boxcars and in public opinion) from the youngster.
Losing Visnovsky obviously hurts here, though Souray should mitigate some of the damage. Getting Selanne back should be a huge relief for coach Bruce Boudreau, as the old man definitely still has it (10th among all forwards in SFOn/60 with 2+ mins/60 of 5v4 time).
The Ryan-Getzlaf-Perry line, of course, will contribute in some capacity, though it may or may not be kept intact. If Palmieri can add anything to the mix, expect this powerplay unit to continue to hum along amongst the top 5 in the NHL.
Penalty Kill
The Ducks actually were pretty strong on the kill (7th in the NHL in shots-against/60 at 4v5), but marginal luck and a large number of times shorthanded tend to undermine team success. Beauchemin, Allen, and Lydman should all be able to help maintain this success, though once again the success will be relative if the PK unit is forced out there alot.
The big question will be what combination of forwards will be out there in support, as it seems they never could settle on a set of lines last year. Maybe sorting out those pieces of the puzzle will increase their effectiveness.
Though Hiller had a scary bout with vertigo in 2010-11, he turned in the busiest season of his career in 2011-12, playing over 4,000 minutes for the first time. This was largely because Jeff Deslauriers is nut-dirt terrible and Dan Ellis's crippling escrow meant he had to forego purchasing his own pair of skates, but I digress…
I suspect Hiller will still get a pretty heavy workload, but it's not like it's undeserved. He's been one of the best goaltenders in the league these last 5 years. As for Viktor Fasth, just remember that Jonas Gustavsson was a great player in the SEL, too.
In the System
The graduation of Palmieri doesn't altogether sap the Ducks' prospect system – in fact, there are a number of very good prospects that are still a year or two away, and should help replace Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu when they retire in 2021.
Rickard Rakell just completed a solid season in the OHL, playing well enough to earn a spot ahead of Palmieri in Corey Pronman's list for Anaheim's top prospects. Peter Holland, William Karlsson, and Emerson Etem could be great 2nd line options in the near future, as they have exhibited strong production in their respective leagues.
Though a reach where he was drafted, Hampus Lindholm will provide a capable offensive defenceman to the big club a few years down the road. The other big time potential is in net, where John Gibson and Frederik Andersen both have the ability to become capable NHL goaltenders down the line.
USHL stalwart Kevin Roy is an intriguing wild card, though a bit small.
Individual: Look for Getzlaf to bounce back this coming season and help Corey Perry challenge the 40-goal barrier. Getzlaf himself should push towards a 70-point season again. If Bobby Ryan sticks around, he's almost a sure bet for 30 goals and 55+ points. Koivu and Selanne will both continue to show their age; I don't think they'll be together on the 2nd line for the whole season.
Bolstered by powerplay points, Selanne should still be able to post around 55 points. Cam Fowler will bounce back and justify his 1st round billing, but I'm suspicious whether Souray will play nearly as well as he did last year.
Still Calder-eligible, Palmieri could definitely be a contender, especially if Ryan is moved and Palmieri gets bumped up to the 1st line. Hiller will have a bit more support and better results, though he'll still be in Anaheim and get half the attention of his equals.
Team: So, remember when I suggested there were reasons for "slight optimism"? They're peppered in with the prose above, but here's another cause for hope: the Ducks were unusually bad early in the year, and their final results – even in Fenwick Close – were probably not entirely indicative of their abilities.
It would be wrong to predict the Ducks could top the Kings in the Pacific, but I could see them in the thick of the playoff race come spring 2013. With a bit of luck, they might even be one of the teams that sneaks in.

Pity the driver: Cabbie salaries much lower than average
Though customers aren't expected to tip here, Japanese taxis are among the most expensive in the world, and next year rides will probably cost even more since the transportation ministry is considering removing the cap on fares and allowing a 2.86 percent rise to help taxi companies adjust to the consumption tax increase. That would boost the base taxi fare to ¥730 in Tokyo.
Before you start complaining think about the drivers. In 1995 the average salary of a Japanese cabbie was ¥4.03 million. In 2005 it was ¥3 million. And since the recession started in 2008 salaries have hovered between ¥2 and ¥3 million. There are various reasons for this loss of income, the main one being deregulation.
In 2002, the administration of privatizing Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi allowed taxi companies to increase their vehicle pools. Between 2001 and 2007, the number of taxis nationwide increased by 15,000, driving up competition and driving down the amount of revenue per cab. In 2009, the government re-regulated the industry in an attempt to cut the number of cabs in 156 cities where it was deemed there were too many. Since then salaries haven't gone down but they haven't gone up either. Now taxi drivers and taxi companies are afraid because one of the pillars of "Abenomics" is, again, deregulation.
Though cabbie salaries compare to those of entry level jobs, most of the drivers are not entry-level workers. The average age is 56.8, and many have families to support. Moreover, the average number of years worked is 9.3, which implies that many cabbies started driving later in life, after they worked somewhere else and lost their jobs. There are very few taxi drivers in their 30s, even less in their 20s. Some older cabbies drive to supplement their social security.
In the July 4 issue of the Asahi Shimbun there was a profile of one male cabbie, 44, who has been driving since 2009, when he was laid off by a small company. The taxi company he works for has a sales quota. Each driver has to bring in ¥480,000 in fares a month. If the driver makes more than that, he gets to keep 53 percent as his commission. If he makes less, he only keeps 40 percent. The driver says he needs ¥250,000 a month to survive so he figures he needs to bring in ¥40,000 per shift, and it's difficult. Apparently, some drivers supplement their revenues with their own money if they don't earn their quota because they think it's worth it in the long run.
Another taxi driver interviewed by the Asahi is 60 and has been a driver in Tokyo all his life. He supports a wife and grown son on ¥4 million a year and used to make ¥6 million. His normal work day is from 8 in the morning until 4 the next morning. The competition in Tokyo is so fierce that it's sometimes impossible to find a place to wait for fares since so many other cabs are waiting. He tells the newspaper that some companies reduce their fares to be more competitive, which is illegal. Another common employer practice that may not be illegal but certainly seems unfair is subtracting the 4.8 percent handling fee from a cabby's salary whenever a customer uses a credit card.
According to the Japan Federation of Hire-Taxi Associations, as of March 2010 there were 371,000 taxi drivers in Japan working for companies and 46,000 private taxi drivers. Of the former, 7,700 were women. The average number of hours for a cabbie is 193 a month. The average for all jobs is 183 a month. Revenues in 2010 nationwide amounted to ¥1.78 trillion. According to the labor ministry the average annual salary for a driver in 2011 was ¥2.9 million. The average for all industries is ¥5.26 million.

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A nearly 30-year-old record for Girl Scout cookie sales has been crumbled by Oklahoma City scout Katie Francis, who has so far sold 18,107 boxes by asking anyone who crossed her path to buy some of the sweets.
"There's three ingredients to selling cookies: There's lots of time, lots of commitment, and I have to ask everybody that I see," the 11-year-old said in an interview with the NewsOK website posted on Monday.
It took the sixth-grade student just seven weeks to top the previous record of 18,000 boxes in annual sales, which was set in a year in the mid-1980s by scout Elizabeth Brinton.
Francis, looking to sell at least 20,000 boxes by the end of March, said she will break into song and dance if it will help her sales pitch.
"For the last two years, I beat the state record and it just seemed like the national record was next on the list," she told TV broadcaster KOCO
According to the Girl Scouts, the sale of cookies as a way to finance troop activities began in Oklahoma nearly a century ago when the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee baked cookies and sold them as a service project.
Francis said her favorite type of cookies are the Samoas.

Gertrude Ederle was one of the greatest swimmers of her time, and a founding queen of marathon swimming. In 1926, she was the first woman to cross the English Channel, in 14 hours 39 minutes - almost 2 hours faster than any man had done it. This feat earned her a ticker-tape parade in New York City, her hometown.
I've been reading Penny Lee Dean's History of the Catalina Channel, in which Ederle makes a notable appearance. Though Ederle never attempted a Catalina swim, the first successful crossing (in 1927) was directly inspired by her success in the English Channel.
William Wrigley, Jr. (of Wrigley chewing gum), seeing an opportunity to promote tourism on Catalina Island (in which he owned a controlling interest), offered Ederle $10,000 to become the first person to swim across the channel between Avalon and the San Pedro peninsula. When Ederle refused, Wrigley raised the purse to $25,000 and invited all comers for a winner-take-all marathon race. 102 swimmers began the Wrigley Ocean Marathon on January 15, 1927, in choppy 54-degree water. Only one finished: 17-year old George Young of Toronto, in 15 hours 44 minutes.
Before the race, Ederle offered some advice to the contestants:
It's a race, I know, but the pace setters will find out that it's better to take things easy. . . The swimmer who forgets that he or she is in a race will win. Condition is everything, but too fast a pace or swimming in spurts can bring on the cramps and fatigue. The steady tempo is the best, and forget all about your rivals. The stomach is the key to success or failure. . . Sickness brings on cramps. Either you get sick or you don't, and training has nothing to do with that angle of it. . . Those who do must fight it off or give up. You can't swim when you are seasick. The food question is an individual one. . . Ordinarily, though, I should say that chicken broth is best for food value and runs the smaller risk of turning the stomach. On my swim I had chicken broth, hot chocolate, end two slices of pineapple. . . Grease will not stay long. The grease helps you to stand the shock of entering the water, but it comes off quickly. . . Keep your mouth closed when swimming, at least enough to keep the salt water out. Nothing can upset you like salt water in the stomach. Do not look ahead of you. And if you feel like quitting, just keep right on swimming anyway.
83 years later, some things have changed in marathon swimming - stroke technique, training regimens, and swimsuit materials. But the essentials remain the same: Don't take it out too hard; avoid seasickness; consume warm liquids and easily digestible food; don't drink the saltwater; and keep going, even if you don't want to.

Twins Head into All-Star Break with 13-5 Win
DENVER (AP) — Brian Dozier cranked up for the Home Run Derby at the All-Star game with two homers and the Minnesota Twins beat the Colorado Rockies 13-5 on Sunday.
Dozier hit a solo homer in the eighth and added a three-run shot an inning later for his first career multihomer game. The second baseman will be one of the participants for Monday's Home Run Derby at his home ballpark, Target Field.
Late fill-in Chris Parmelee ignited a five-run first inning for the Twins with a two-run single. He replaced outfielder Oswaldo Arcia, who was scratched with the flu.
Hughes (10-5) picked up his 10th win despite allowing five runs and 10 hits in five innings. It was his first appearance at Coors Field.
Brett Anderson (0-3) was rusty in his first outing since April as he allowed six runs — five earned — in five innings.

A representative for Kelly Osbourne has played down reports suggesting the reality TV star has been diagnosed with epilepsy after suffering a seizure on Thursday.
The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne was hospitalized in Los Angeles after collapsing on the set of her show "Fashion Police" last week.
She remained under observation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over the weekend as doctors continued to investigate the cause of her health scare, but her spokesperson claims any rumors alleging she suffered an epileptic fit are premature.
The rep tells People.com, "There is absolutely no confirmed diagnosis regarding Kelly's condition at this time. She is under a doctor's care and they are continuing to run tests.
"Kelly is fine and thanks everyone for their continued support."
The 28 year old's health crisis is the latest to hit the Osbourne family – Kelly's younger brother Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year.

To maximize our time together for learning the MEAN stack, please take care of the following before the workshop. The total time to install the software should be less than an hour. If you have questions, please contact me via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Install a web development IDE
- For the workshop, I will be doing everything in WebStorm. If you are accustomed to a different IDE for web development, you may use it, but please know how to use it. I, unfortunately, won't be able to give you much advice on using any of IDEs there are available. WebStorm is a paid application but has a 30-day free trial version available.
- Install Git
- We will be using Git Bundles for the workshop. They will allow us to advance through the course together and recover from hard to find coding bugs. The latest version is 2.8.1. If have it already, but your version is older than 2.6, please update it.
- Git is free.
- Install Node.js
- We need node.js installed on our development machines. If you have a version older than 5.0, please upgrade. I will be using node version 6.0.
- Upgrade npm
- NPM comes with node.js but the version installed is usually out of date with the current release. Please update it by entering the following command in the terminal:
- npm install npm -g
- Heroku
- We will deploy our finished app to Heroku, a cloud-based hosting platform. Developer accounts are free. Please sign up now. If you already have an account, please be sure to have at least one free application slot for the workshop.
- mLab
- mLab is a fully managed MongoDB-as-a-service provider and a partner of Heroku. Will host our MongoDB service on it instead of install Mongo on our machines. mLab gives us a free developers account tied to our Heroku account. You may need to supply a credit card but you will not be charged so long as you choose the free sandbox account. This is a small 500 MB database on a shared instance but it is more than enough for the class and gives you real world experience.
- Nothing more to do
- MongoChef
- MongoDB includes the Mongo Shell, its REPL, but using it quickly gets tiresome. SO, we will also use a GUI based program, MongoChef. It has a free non-commercial version that we will use for the workshop.
Please take care of everything on the list before the workshop. We won't have time to do it during the workshop. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me by email: email@example.com.

Feeding the hungry by throwing away food
NEPTUNE, N.J. — Shore area grocers can't wait to throw their food away these days.
What was for years a loosely-organized program run by the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties to extend the life of expiring food is now a thriving operation for the region's largest safety net for the food insecure.
Last year, the food bank hired Mychal Mills to run its retail store donation program, which capitalizes on the cautious, but often unnecessary, details of food labeling. As products approach or reach their expiration dates — which are often just advisories — the food bank comes to pick them up and distribute them to its network of 260 food pantries and programs.
But for years without a dedicated employee running the program, the list of donors was small, and so was the amount of donations.
After the recession, the food bank's donations dropped off and demand ticked up. The food bank hired Mills last July to run the program, and together they set a goal to collect 1 million pounds of food from grocers and retailers in Monmouth and Ocean counties for the year.
At this point last year, the food bank had collected 480,000 pounds from about 30 donors. As of Tuesday, it had 60 donors and collected 1.3 million pounds of food, and the food is increasingly healthier, with nearly 20 percent of the donations made up of fruits and vegetables, according to Mills.
"Donors are starting to see the benefits," Mills said. "It just makes sense. We're turning food waste into a viable food source."
The expiration, or 'best by,' date doesn't mean a product is bad or unsafe. In New Jersey, an expiration date is only required on bottled water and "fluid milk products" like milk and yogurt, according to the state Department of Health. The Department of Agriculture also says that expired food should be safe and wholesome if handled properly.
"The quality of the food has been superb," Mills said. The recipients, he added, have "never seen this variety of food, and they've never seen this quality before. You can see that they're in awe, and they're very appreciative."
Now the food bank's goal is to hit 1.6 million pounds of food donations by July — a "critical" contribution to the food bank's overall goal of collecting 9 million pounds for the year, Mills said.
And Mills is expanding the program beyond grocers and retailers to include collecting straight from food sources — farms and manufacturers. Soon it will be looking for volunteers to help coordinate with donors, Mills said.
"I can't help but feel the optimism and enthusiasm from everyone in the program," he said. "I can't tell you enough about the smiling, the 'wows.' It's amazing."

For the Media
Clarkson University Sets Science Cafes for Fall in Potsdam & Canton
Local scientists and university professors will again take to the stage starting Wednesday, September 11, for the "Science Cafe."
Science Cafes bring together local university and college professors and townspeople in a relaxed, informal setting, such as coffeehouses and pubs. The speaker makes a short presentation about a topic in his or her field, and then opens up the floor to discussion.
All Canton Science Cafes will take place Tuesdays at 7:15 p.m. in the Park View Common Room, above the Blackbird Café, 107 Main St. in Canton, N.Y.
All Potsdam Science Cafes will take place Wednesday evenings at 7:15 p.m. in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room, 2 Park St. in Potsdam, N.Y.
Here's a rundown of this fall's topics and speakers:
The Technology of Luge Sleds
September 11: Potsdam
September 17: Canton
Olympic luge sleds careen down the tracks at over 90 miles/hour. Optimizing their design to shave even hundredths of a second is critical to a team's chances to win. In this thrilling presentation, Clarkson University Professors Brian Helenbrook and Doug Bohl (Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering) describe their joint work with Olympic luge sledder Duncan Kennedy to improve the manufacturing and design of U.S. luge sleds and the ideas intended for incorporation in the 2014 Olympic sleds.
Crab Accounting: Reducing Dredge Impact on Fishery
October 1: Canton
October 2: Potsdam
Periodic dredging of the shipping channel through Grays Harbor estuary along western Washington coast kills many Dungeness crabs. Juvenile survival rates improve with the construction of intertidal oyster shell habitat, replacing population losses and relieving opposition from crab fishermen and ecological advocates alike. Join St. Lawrence University General Biology Non-Majors Biology Specialist Eileen Visser as she discusses crabby behavior, mud-slogging, and the promising mitigation efforts in this western estuary.
Who Wrote That? The New Science of Stylometry
October 15: Canton
October 16: Potsdam
When the 15th book of Oz was released there were two covers ... one listing L. Frank Baum as the author and another listing Ruth Plumly Thompson. Who really wrote this book? St. Lawrence University Mathematics Professor Dan Look takes us on a fascinating tour of stylometry, a new exciting hybrid discipline of mathematics and literature, demonstrating how they blend together beautifully, and how they help settle difficult questions of authorship.
Venus and the Golden Ratio
October 29: Canton
October 30: Potsdam
Venus reaches a milestone as the evening "star" on November 1. Learn how Venus' evening elongation is linked to numerous of Venus' cycles, plus this planet's intriguing relationship to Phi (the Golden Ratio) and the Fibonacci numbers. Make friends with the Golden Triangle and the pentagram and gain a lifelong appreciation for Venus, the goddess of beauty. Stargazer Bruce McClure, script writer for the nationally syndicated radio programs "StarDate" and "Earth and Sky," explores the inherent beauty of the many of Venus' cycles that recur five times every eight Earth years and every 13 Venusian years.
No Pain, No Gain: How Distress Underlies Success
November 19: Canton
November 20: Potsdam
The capacity for self-control -- that is, the ability to curb our base impulses in the service of our broader goals -- is a defining feature of successful performance across life domains. But what psychological factors promote good self-control? Join Clarkson University Psychology Professor Lisa Legault as she examines the motivational and neurophysiological underpinnings of successful goal regulation and discusses the surprisingly adaptive role of emotional distress in boosting performance.
