Skip to comments.Coast Guard Will Call Off Search for 3 Missing Football Players by Sunset
Posted on 03/03/2009 7:02:57 PM PST by metmom
The Coast Guard called off its search for three missing football players at sunset Tuesday.
The news came after crews combed choppy waters off the Florida Gulf Coast for a third full day since NFL players Marquis Cooper and Corey Smith and a third friend William Bleakley disappeared. Their fishing boat capsized in stormy seas Saturday evening.
One of the four on the excursion, Nick Schuyler, survived.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
sad, I wonder what was the type of boat
It is sad. This is why I would never take a 21 foot boat 50 miles offshore. If I was going 50 miles off shore I would certainly spend a few bucks on a EPIRB so the coast guard would have a chance of finding me.
The gulf can get very rough and storms come up quick.
That SUCKS> They could still be alive.
21 foot everglades. nice boat but too small for taking far offshore especially in rough weather.
They've been in 68 degree water since Saturday afternoon. Even if they have their lifejackets on they would be dead from hypothermia.
So you say. But I think not. They could still be alive. Why quit now. Give it a chance.
What a tragedy...Shuyler said the helicopter lights were above them that first night.
Very sad, what a blow to the families. I had hoped for a miracle.
It's so unlikely that they are still alive. They have been in the water since Saturday.
I can't imagine going out on the water without checking the forecast and radar first.
But that's just the meteorologist in me. I don't go to the store without doing that.
That makes it even worse. They all could have been rescued then.
Too bad these guys had more money than sense.
"So you say. But I think not. They could still be alive. Why quit now. Give it a chance."
So I say? No, so the Coast Guard says. Survival tables show its possible to survive up to 40 hours in 68 degree water. Its been 72 hours.
If they were alive the Coast Guard would have found them.
Why quit now? Because it costs a lot of money to search, puts other lives at risk, and takes those rescuers away from helping other people.
It's miserable, very windy.
Those poor guys were in this kind of weather on the open sea ....how very sad.
"I cant imagine going out on the water without checking the forecast and radar first."
The storms can come up very very quick and you cannot out run them. From the local news the boat overturned while at anchor. Tells me they stayed there too long and the water got too rough. There were waves to 15 feet Saturday evening. This was only a 21 foot boat.
I feel so sorry for the parents. The father of one of these young men, I think Mr. Bleakely's father, could not give up hoping. And how much worse it is for him deluding himself that his son was still alive and the Coast Guard was abandoning him to a lonely, cold death. I can't imagine the suffering of the poor man. At least the dead men are now freed from earthly sorrows and physical pain; this father will live with his heartbreak forever.
Highly unlikely, it turned very cold there over the weekend and the reporters who were onshore waiting were all commenting how cold it was... Likely sharks got them.
Apparently, they found a life jacket and cooler 16 miles from the boat. But nothing else.
I actually had frost on my car windows this morning. Good for a joke now and then, would really suck if you were in the water.
I've been diving in water this cold. Even with a wet suit it sucks the strength right out of you. two hours were enough for me and I had a wet suit.
Yeah, but these are famous people. Famous people deserve more because......well, because.
Well I am Merchant Marine. You can survive. I am headed from Tampa to Key West tommorrow and I will sure keep a lookout. The CG is lame if they think you can not survive.
Their chances of being alive are zero with the water temperature.
Very very sad.
If they had dropped about $1200 for a decent covered 6-person life raft - they would be alive today. They are compact and deploy quickly. The ocean can kill you very quickly.
Going out 30 to 50 miles in a small one engine boat withpout a pinger and good life raft is suicide. My life is worth $1,200 and these guys had/have more money than I do.
Is a E what you said the same as what are fishermen use up here in the frigid waters..life saving suits?
Is the water that far out down in Florida cold? or Warm?
We also use devices that are locators. (cant think of proper terminology right now)
IIRC the guy who had the boat was an avid fisherman along with his Dad.
Did the storm come after they were out at sea?
We lose about one F/V a year up here.
The old time Captains have a hard time with some idiot deck hands bringing meth aboard.
Use to be just boozers in the past and that is easy to detect before leaving port.
Tell that to a sailor who has the will to live.
The lone survivor said they were trying to pull up anchor when they got hit by a side wave... I suspect the anchor was in mud and they were all trying to pull it up.. four large guys all on one side of the boat at the same time would have made the boat very easy to send turtle... very sad... even though it was only 21 feet it was a boat built with the higher sides which can sometimes give a sense of security and taking chances.
I hope you find them alive.
I doubt it though.
$200 on an EPIRB woulda worked too.
Yep. After so many hours it becomes a recovery search.
If they dont become fish/crab food that far out they may never wash ashore.
So sad.
drift is right.
Awe man.
Yes, it came up after they were out there. The morning was calm, someone commented on Fox the calm is actually normal right before a cold front moves in this time of year.... when it hit it hit fast and a deep sea fishing boat came back in early because they were taking waves over the bow and it was miserable.
Yep. The CG looking in the wrong place or they would of found em. They had life jackets.
It's not about will, these guys I'm sure had the will to live. The CG searched well outside the parameters of the HUMAN BODY to survive. Will won't trump human nature.
From the start of the search with the water temps what they were the only hope of finding someone alive would be if they stayed with the boat and were able to keep their body out of the water, at least off and on.
The CG was out in full force when the probability of finding them alive was .0000000000000000000000000000000000001 %, they did all they could and should be commended.
Same here.
From our home to the store it is a whole different weather situation.
Cold and windy in town.
Not sure 2 engines would have made a difference here. But $1200 on some kind of "ditch bag" (life raft etc) could have made a difference.
Emergency position indicating radiobeacons (EPIRBs) use satellite communications. The Coast Guard would know exactly where you were in about 4 minutes.
The water in the gulf is 68 degrees right now. It generally doesn't get below 60 in winter. In the summer it can get to high 80s.
Because of the high number of pleasure boaters with little experience there are a lot of people that get into trouble.
One guy had 11 people on a 12 foot boat. From 5 months to 68 years. They stayed offshore too long and were swamped by a storm. Luckily they were only a few miles offshore and the water was warm.
I hadn't thought of that but its likely you are correct. Better to cut the rope.
Couple choppers a Falcon and a cutter. Not much in a 50 mile square sector.
I don't like the idea of giving the FWC another way to right you a ticket, but people who don't have the foggiest idea about boating go out and kill themselves or others far too often.
The concept of right of way and the proper procedure for retrieving an anchor are things that people have no business out on the water without knowing.
"Couple choppers a Falcon and a cutter. Not much in a 50 mile square sector."
You musta been searched one too many times by the coasties.
Your right on.
We get a real treat now and then as the Coast Guard will do practice pick ups in the bay/our back yard.
Something about a young Coast Guard man in his uniform.
A rescue Military guy with no attitude you sometimes see in say a LE guy.
This is very sad but the Coast Guard's job is not to bail out irresponsible people.
Three pro football players plus their friend going 30 miles out in a small one engine 21' boat without a pinger or good $1,200 covered life raft that is small to stow and fast to deploy. A SPOT pinger costs $150 or you can get a very good one for $519.
If you go out in the ocean especially 30 miles out you better have this stuff or stay at home. My life is worth $519
If you are Merch Marine you know the ocean has no mercy and will kill you very quickly.
"The real cause is the lack of a license requirement for Florida boaters. "
Not sure a license would have helped in these conditions. I've taken the Coast Guard class and I didn't need it to tell me to stay off the water this last weekend.
They found the survivor, used drift patterns, etc. Covered thousands of miles searching, I'm not sure just what you would want them to do.
We use to have access to a private floating dock and as soon as the tide would start coming in we high wheeled it off the docks.
Can get unstable real quick in that mode too.
I use to leave all the gear and get KV up to land at the first sign/time of tide change then go back down for the gear.
You are right about the 2 engines but it is really dumb to go out 30 miles with a single engine 21' boat. You are just asking for trouble. Sea Tow is not going out 30 miles. They obviously did not have a pinger or offshore life raft.
My life is worth something and you can get a pinger as cheap as $149 and a good one for $529. A good life raft is $1300 and a so so one is $300.
The ocean has no mercy and will kill in seconds.
Yep ERIB thingys is what our guys use up here if they are taking all safety precautions.
It is usually the crossing bar that sinks em up here.

text: Posted February 28, 2013 With what I said earlier about what I took in high school being said, I took OT in college, too, and it was perhaps an even bigger step away from sunday school. It was much more open about apocryphal and pseudepigraphal works, difference in transcriptions, scribes that seemed to add stuff on their own, and subtlelties in translation. I remember one time, my professor even went out of her way to criticize Matthew for misinterpreting one of the prophet's writings (I think it was Jeremiah) about the coming of the Messiah. right... really interesting stuff... i just don't see that level of subtlety being implemented in a high-school curriculum... when you start breaking down and discussing latitude in translation, the faithful often see it as breaking down of their belief systems... When you omit these things, you're being dishonest about the history of the source material. TL;DR It's really hard to discuss these things honestly without hurting someone's feelings.

John Barter '68 ~ Living the Jesuit Mission
Go ahead...ask John Barter anything about global business strategies, principles of physics, or the benefits of a Jesuit education. Barter, who joined SHC in December 2013 as the chief operating officer of Spring Hill's leadership team, doesn't only bring decades of expertise and a wealth of knowledge to campus, he carries with him a passion for learning and an unparalleled love of the Hill.
After growing up just a few miles from St. Joseph Chapel, and graduating from McGill-Toolen high school in 1964, just four short years later, the Mobile, Ala. native continued the hallowed tradition of walking down the Avenue of the Oaks to receive his diploma from Spring Hill College.
"At that time, in the late sixties, it was customary—even expected—that most students would attend a nearby college. When I graduated from McGill, Spring Hill College was held in awe in Mobile, a feeling we hope to perpetuate and grow," says Barter. "It also helped that my favorite teacher in high school went to SHC. Of course, I wanted to follow in his footsteps."
Barter, a physics major, enrolled in Spring Hill College and became immediately involved in all that the campus had to offer. Each year of his undergraduate career, Barter participated on the SHC debate team, for which he received a half-tuition scholarship. He was also involved in intramural sports and Greek life, joining Gamma Sigma, now known as Phi Kappa Tau.
"I have great memories of my time at Spring Hill," says Barter. "It was always very rigorous academically. My philosophy and theology classes were particularly challenging, but I was fortunate to have a good group of friends. They helped make the work a bit easier, and our downtime, a lot of fun."
Barter also met his future wife, Mary Lou, who was studying elementary education on the Spring Hill Campus. After his graduation from SHC, John and Mary Lou married and moved to Okaloosa County in Florida where Barter began working as a physicist for the Air Force at the Armament Lab on Eglin Air Force Base.
"It didn't take me long to figure out that I wasn't meant to be a physicist," says Barter. "I realized pretty quickly that all of the skills I'd learned as a student at Spring Hill could be used much more effectively in the business world. I'd gained analytical problem-solving skills and had been taught the finer points of effective communication, especially after my years on the SHC debate team."
He began graduate school at Tulane shortly thereafter, pursuing his Masters of Business Administration. After finishing studies at Tulane, Barter began his career in corporate finance and went on to lead AlliedSignal, now known as Honeywell, Inc., as chief financial officer. He later served a three-year term as president of Allied Signal Automotive, Inc.
"The foundation for my success in life was formed at Spring Hill College. Small liberal arts, residential colleges are such special places and play an integral, important role in higher education," says Barter. "Our emphasis on values, service, and faith is crucial for today's youth—needed more now than ever. It makes the role of Spring Hill College today so vitally important."
In his role at SHC, Barter oversees daily operations of the College and leads the cabinet while reporting directly to Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J. and the college board of trustees. In the two months he's been on campus, Barter has identified several goals, which include developing a strategic plan for the College, supporting the campus-wide, deep commitment to the Ignatian mission, as well as connecting with the many alumni and friends who love Spring Hill College.
Barter's vision includes continued recruitment of larger, more diverse, freshman classes, more emphasis on adding new majors to meet the contemporary needs of students, and exploration of a wider distance learning component in order to reach beyond the residential campus. Barter agrees that there is much to be accomplished, but adds that the Jesuit philosophy will help everyone move effectively through the process.
"We are asked by our God to try and be better people every day," says Barter. "We're asked to love our neighbor as ourselves—and that is not a passive love. It's an activist and energetic love that says 'I am here to help you.' It's part of the Jesuit ideology that I live and embrace as fully as I can."
Barter is working pro bono for the College and is commuting weekly from his home in Charleston, S.C. Prior to joining Spring Hill College as COO, Barter served on the College Board of Trustees for 15 years, four of which he was chairman.
Eventually, the College will launch a search for a permanent president—but at a pace that allows Lucey and Barter to establish priorities and execute plans. This will allow the new leadership team to firmly establish Spring Hill College as an attractive opportunity for an experienced president to take the reins of the institution.

EBay Inc. has announced its third and final round of changes to its marketplace for this year, moves aimed at improving the consumer shopping experience. The majority of the changes are scheduled to launch between Sept. 7 and Sept. 13.
One change is the creation of four standard shipping options—economy, standard, expedited and one-day. Those options will be prominently displayed on item pages and at checkout.
"This will be a really good thing for both buyers and sellers," says Dinesh Lathi, eBay vice president of buyer and seller experience, in a video on eBay's blog. "Sellers, by using language buyers are very accustomed to seeing elsewhere in e-commerce, like economy, standard, expedited or one-day, will do a much better job of managing expectations."
Sellers will also be permitted to exclude buyers in certain locations. Or, if they choose to sell to buyers in places like Alaska, Hawaii and Guam, a seller can show the buyer the exact shipping charges before the buyer completes her purchase.
The online marketplace also aims to expand sellers' use of its catalog, which standardizes product descriptions of electronic items like iPods, as well as DVDs and Blu-ray disks. To increase seller uptake of the catalog, eBay is eliminating listing fees for sellers who list with the catalog, as well as boosting those sellers' placements on eBay search results pages.
Other changes include efforts to improve the efficiency of seller communications. For instance, eBay is turning on its Automated Answers feature for all sellers. That means that when a buyer clicks the "ask a question" link, Automated Answers uses information from the seller's listing to answer commonly asked questions. If the buyer doesn't find the answer he seeks, he can e-mail the seller his question.

New Year Giveaway
Vincenzo Roque
Just to recap the thirteen questions for the new year giveaway:
What year is supposedly the end of the world according to the misinterpretations of the Mayans' calendar?
Let X be the answer in the first question. Let Y be the remainder when X is divided by 1000. A famous Christmas song has the number Y in the title. How many birds were mentioned in the song?
Let X be the answer to the second question. Let Y be 12 times X. What date in real life will Day Y of the New World fall? Write your answer in mm/dd/yyyy format.
Let the answer in the third question be ab/cd/efgh and let X = (a+b+c+d+e+f+g)/3. In other words, let n be 1/3 of the sum of the digits of the answer in number two. What percentage of seats did KMP get in the Xth Philippine Congress?
Let X be the answer to the fourth question. Let Y be 1 - X.
If 2012 grams of ethane is combusted with excess oxygen, with a percent yield of Y, what (with quantity) will be produced?
Let the gases produced in the fifth question be put in a container with volume 2012 L. If the temperature is 12°C, solve for the pressure in the container.
A gvuvuoyu is a fictional animal with circulatory system similar to that of a human's except that it has an average pressure of X, where X is the answer to the sixth question. If a gvuvuoyu is being traveled in an aircraft accelerating upward, solve for the minimum acceleration for which the blood supply to its brain stops.
The blood pressure is constant all through out the system
The air pressure inside the aircraft remains constant
The density of the blood is the same as that of water
The brain is located 2012 cm above the heart
How much electric field is needed to make a proton reach the acceleration that is the answer to the seventh question?
How many electrons are needed to produce the electric field that is the answer to the eighth question on a point 2012m away?
Let X be the answer to the ninth question. Let Y be the greatest integer less than the cube root of X. How many ordered positive integer solutions (a1, a2, a3, ... , a2011, a2012) satisfy a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + a2011 + a2012 = Y?
Let X be the answer to the tenth question. Give the nominal location for the place with absolute location X degrees North, X degrees East. (Hint: three words with initials SAO)
How many combinations of the letters in the answer to the eleventh question are there?
Let X be the answer to the twelfth question and let Y be the sum of the digits of X. Let Z = 3Y^2 + 21Y + 18. How many pythagorean triples (a,b,c) have a sum a + b + c less than or equal to Z?
Just a reminder, the deadline for all the answers will be on 23:59 Jan 17 Day 1881 of the New World. You can send them to me through PM. I will be distributing the prizes after the deadline.
Good luck!
Still Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Vincenzo Roque

The Discoverer Enterprise at the Deepwater Explorer disaster site.
The Discoverer Enterprise from Transocean is an ultra- deepwater drillship, or in simple terms an oil platform on a ship. What's really interesting is this ship has two separate drilling rigs and has the unique capability to conduct drilling operations simultaneously.
It is 835 Feet long (almost 3 football fields), 415 tall, has six 7,000 horsepower thrusters which ensures stability even in a hurricane. (That is really amazing!). It uses 135-foot-long stands of pipe, compared with the 93-foot stands typically used by drillers.
Some other facts are: the ship has living quarters for 200 people, generates up to 40 megawatts of power which is enough to power 40, 000 homes. It has 1,600 miles of wire and cable which is enough wire and cable to reach from Huston, Texas to New York City, NY, and displaces 220 million pounds.
The ship can drill in open ocean depths of 10,000 feet or almost 2 miles and drill 35,000 feet from sea level for a total of 6.5 miles.
It has several cranes and even a helicoptor landing pad.

BOEM is the agency of the Department of the Interior tasked with managing the extraction of offshore minerals from America's Outer Continental Shelf. While the largest component of this is the exploration for and development of oil and gas resources, the Bureau is also responsible for what are loosely referred to as "non-energy minerals" (primarily sand and gravel) -- obtained from the ocean floor.
As steward for these resources, BOEM must ensure that the removal of any mineral resources is done in a safe and environmentally sound manner, and that any potential adverse impacts to the marine, coastal and/or human environments are avoided or minimized.
Loss of sand from the Nation's beaches, dunes, and barrier islands is a serious problem that affects both the coastal environment and the economy. For example, Louisiana, which has the highest coastal erosion rate in the country, has lost an average of 43 square km of land from its coast each year since 1985. Beach nourishment and other coastal restoration projects are addressing this problem, and sand from the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is often used to stem this erosion.
BOEM has conveyed rights to millions of cubic yards of OCS sand for coastal restoration projects in multiple states. These projects have resulted in the restoration of hundreds of miles of the Nation's coastline, protecting billions of dollars of infrastructure as well as important ecological habitat.
Key MMP Statistics
Construction at NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility.
Some of these projects were done on an emergency basis, where imminent breaching of barrier islands was prevented by the rapid placement of OCS sand. Most of these
projects used sand that was previously identified by the Bureau through its cooperative sand evaluation program with coastal states.
The Bureau uses two types of lease conveyances for sand and gravel and other non-energy minerals from the OCS. These are by a non-competitive negotiated
agreement, which can only be used for obtaining sand and gavel for public works projects funded in part or whole by a federal, state, or local government agency, and by a competitive lease sale in which any qualified person may submit a bid. In addition to sand and gravel, the Marine Minerals Program (MMP) has also responded to such diverse lease requests as salt from the Atlantic OCS and metallic ores from the Pacific Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The MMP historically implemented the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) 8(k) authority through 3 main functions:

It's been two months since graduating the VSAT class #34 and my professional life has been transformed! Not only have I obtained a rewarding job with an agricultural company, there are also wheels in motion to launch my own farm operation. It's exciting.
I served in the Army and went into financial services and background investigations. I was a casual vegetable gardener to combat the hours I spent in a cubicle. After being laid off in 2014, it was months later that I discovered VSAT, Collin, and Karen's story. My participation in the VSAT class #34 has launched me into a new career and provided options that would not have been available.
During the last week of class while preparing my presentation, I took the resume update guidelines and sent out at least five resumes all prior to graduation. On the drive home, I got a call with a request for an interview. From that five, I got two interviews and within a week from that, a job offer. Currently, I am involved with launching the U.S. sales operations for Known-You Seed America; an international seed breeding and sales company with operations in Asia, Europe, and South America. It's my job to speak with farmers and growers to determine their current pain points and develop an opportunity to try and use our superior, naturally bred, organic fruit and vegetable seeds.
Prior to the start of this position, I worked tirelessly doing local product research with grocers and restaurant buyers in my local area. It is my goal to grow organic salad greens, herbs, and microgreens. This endeavor is ongoing and I am moving slowly and deliberately on this. …

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
When a Zen master puts brush to paper, the resulting image is an expression of the quality of his or her mind. It is thus a "teaching," intended to compassionately stop us in our tracks and to compel us to consider ultimate truth. Here, forty masterpieces of painting and calligraphy by renowned masters such as Hakuin Ekaku (1685 1768) and Gibon Sengai (1750 1837) are reproduced along with commentary that illuminates both the art and its teaching. The authors essays provide an excellent introduction to both the aesthetic and didactic aspects of this art that can be profound, perplexing, serious, humorous, and breathtakingly beautiful often all within the same simple piece.
About the Author
Stephen Addiss is Tucker-Boatwright Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Art History, University of Richmond.
John Daido Loori, Roshi, is abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery and author of numerous books, including Two Arrows Meeting in Mid-Air and Making Love with Light.
Praise For…
"A delightful book of beautifully reproduced pieces of art."—Buddhadharma

Guide By: Arsenic 17
There are 20 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
*NOTE*: Like most Glu games, there are semi-widespread glitches in this game that can make your path towards completion much longer, more of a hassle, or impossible. Please see THIS thread for a discussion of the glitches other players have come across.
[x360a would like to thank Arsenic 17 for this Roadmap]
|Kill 100 Bosses
Bosses are the main enemy in all contracts. There is always one boss per contract. Just kill 100 of them. You can check your progress in the stats under "Contract Targets Killed." This achievement is glitchy and may unlock before killing 100.
|The Assassin
|Kill 100 enemies
Just kill 100 enemies. As you progress, there are more and more enemies per contract. You should get this early in the game, as there are far more enemies than bosses. Bosses do not count towards this achievement. You can check your progress in the stats under "Total Number of Foes Killed."
|Contract Killer
|Reach Level 20
See "Exterminator."
|Elite Sniper
|Score 500 headshots
When you score a headshot, a notification will pop up on screen. Just keep aiming for heads and you will eventually get this. Some enemies wear plated masks that make headshots impossible, so don't waste your time on them. This achievement is a tad glitchy it seems, for the better, as it unlocks early for some, only after scoring between 50 and 150 headshots. You can check your progress in the stats under "Headshots."
|Die 50 times
It is possible to die in any contract if you take enough bullets. If you purchase a lot of medkits and use them at will, you may never die. It may just be best to take a whole day and just start contracts only to die. I do imagine it does become harder as you progress, but you can almost always prevent deaths by taking cover and using medkits, which is what anyone who actually wants to succeed at the game would do. There is no way to track the progress for this achievement, so just keep dying!
|Reach level 40
Leveling up in the game is based on earning XP, which you gain from completing contracts and killing/capturing enemies. Killing enemies with headshots earns you double XP for that kill. You can also earn a small amount of XP for completing subcontracts. Also, you should focus on completing the daily co-op challenges. They provide HUGE amounts of XP when you complete them, anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 per challenge. These are an absolute must if you want to level up quick! The bulk of the XP will just come from completing contracts. This achievement will take the longest of any in the game.
|Citizen of the World
|Unlock 10 informants
Informants are the folks that give you contracts to complete. As you level up you unlock new informants. Just keep completing contracts and this will unlock. For an informant to count, you must pay them their initial cost they ask when you first click on them. Sometimes it is a cash requirement, other times it is a credit requirement. This should first be attainable around Level 10.
|Buy 10 weapons
You need to OWN a total of 10 weapons, not buy 10 as the description states. There are several very cheap guns, but from what I can tell, to attain 10 would cost $100,000+. You can check your progress in the stats under "Weapons Owned."
|Unlock All Ammo Types
Ammo types unlock when you purchase a weapon that uses the specific type of ammo. The ammo types are: 9mm pistol bullets, hunting rounds, sniper rifle rounds, tranquilizer darts, SMG bullets, shotgun shells, handgun darts, assault rifle bullets, and AM rifle bullets. Only the tranquilizer handgun requires the credits to purchase (35 credits). The only free ways to get credits it by having two friends complete the third daily co-op challenge which earns you 10 credits per day or by getting lucky on the Day 5 daily bonus where you win a random reward.
|No kills when mission timer hits 0:00
All you have to do is let the timer of a contract reach zero without killing any enemies. Just press the cover button and hide the entire time. You will fail the mission, but you will get this achievement.
|Hired Gun
|Reach Level 10
See "Exterminator."
|Mad Skills
|Kill 3 Enemies with One Shot
Just like the description states, kill three enemies with a single shot. It must be with the bullet, and cannot be with an exploding barrel. As you progress through the game, more and more enemies fill the levels. This will require a bit of luck to get three to line up. It also helps if you use some Reactix pills to slow down time to help you better time your shot. Just be patient. If there is a lot of enemies, and you are in a position on the ground, three will line up...just wait for that shot. There will be many instances where 5 or more enemies line up.
|Barrage of Bullets
|Fire 1000 Rounds
Just fire 1000 rounds. This will come with completion of the game, but to get it out of the way early just purchase a ton of SMG rounds and unload them in a mission. 1000 SMG rounds only costs $1,500 and can be unloaded in a few minutes. You can check your progress in the stats under "Number of Shots."
|Deep Sleep
|Capture 500 Enemies
To capture an enemy, you must shoot them with a tranquilizer gun (rifle or pistol). Not many contracts actually require you to capture enemies, so this will take a while, especially since you cannot just capture enemies when the mission states you must kill them. The EASIEST way to work towards 500 captures is to tranquilize all enemies in missions where you get ambushed. You know you are getting ambushed when a message pops up as soon as you load into a mission. In these missions, the contract requirements go out the window, allowing you to tranquilize anyone. This achievement is also glitched for the good, it unlocked for me at around only 125 captures. You can check your progress in the stats under "Total Captured."
|Kill 25 Enemies without Misses
You must kill 25 enemies without missing a single shot. This is fairly easy, just aim for the torso. This has to be done over multiple contracts. It may need to be done in one sitting, without exiting the game. So it is best to wait to the later stages where there are many enemies per contract. Also, it is best to avoid any contracts that involve using the tranquilizer as that could mess up your counter for this achievement.
|Surgical Precision
|Score a Headshot While Target is Running
This may require several attempts as the enemies tend to run in semi-random directions and shift often. This is infinitely easier if you use a Reactix pill and slow down time. Once you fire the first shot, enemies will quickly scatter. This is a good time to pick one off with a headshot when they are running to cover. Just keep taking cracks at running enemies heads until you get it if you do not want to use Reactix (there is no real penalty for this, just wasted ammo).
|Receive x3 Multiplier 25 Times
To receive a x3 multiplier, you must kill an enemy within 5 seconds of the contract starting. A good method is to take note of the color of the boss's shirt on the contract detail screen before loading-in. Quickly scan the scene for him and zoom in and fire as quick as possible. You can also just zoom quickly onto any enemy and kill them, but you risk failing the contract if the target escapes. This achievement is glitchy, again for the good, as it unlocks only after getting just five x3 multipliers. You can check your progress in the stats under "X3 Multipliers Gained."
|Use 100 Medkits
MedKits are your friend in this game, especially if you do not buy any good armor with real-world money. Many missions are nearly impossible to complete without using MedKits. This will come with natural progression, but if you feel the need to get it out of the way, just purchase 100 and use them in a single mission while you take damage (cost $12,500). You can check your progress in the stats under "MedKits Used."
|Kill 13 People in 15 Seconds
You need to kill 13 enemies in 15 seconds. It seems to me the maximum amount of enemies in a contract is 13 or 14, meaning you basically must kill all enemies within 15 seconds. This is best attempted by randomly firing a shot at the beginning of the contract to get all enemies to spawn. Just count up all the enemies and plan how your shots you will use to dispose them all. Careful not to take too much damage while surveying.
|Receive 7 Daily Bonuses in a Row
*UNOBTAINABLE* This is the only online achievement in the game, and it is only online in the sense that is requires you to have an active internet connection. It should unlock when you sign into the game on the 7th consecutive day. However, it is glitched and does not unlock. A patch will be needed to fix this, but I wouldn't ever count on that.

Oh, THAT guy. Why am I not surprised?
I don't have cable anymore. Is he still doing that shitty program?
Why didn't the cops come in and taze the guy? That's standard practice here in America for his sort of disruptive behavior.
Okay, it probably sucked at the time, but it gave everyone there a pretty good story to tell later, right?
Where have you people been? This guy has been on public access for more than a decade with his "Who Killed Kurt Cobain?" show.
Oh, it's Copious Nosehair Man! (Otherwise known as Richard Lee.
I always hoped that dude and Goddess Kring would combine their shows
"shut the fuck up, you moron"
Classic. I wish I was there to say that.
Isn't there a minimum requirement for a job at The Stranger of at least a few evenings spent getting high and watching public access cable?
I can excuse the tip-sender-inner for not knowing this minor local celebrity on sight, but the Stranger staffer(s) who relayed the email don't get a pass. Especially since this nutball ran for Mayor a couple of times, with copious coverage in their paper.
Now I'm waiting for the SLOG post + photos about a painted naked poetry woman doing something, with no reference to Shannon Kringen...
@1 -- Lee's show is on at 11PM Saturdays on channel 77
Anyone who does not know Richard Lee automatically betrays themself as a Seattle Newbie.
I God, I remember that guy. I'm obviously not a mental health expert, but he's definitely devolved into a case of something that's more serious than just an normal obsession.
hot tipper and talented photog curt has been around forever, he is not a seattle newbie. clearly, he has better things to do with his time than spend it watching richard lee freak the fuck out on public access.
that movie, while filled with interesting music and beautiful shots, is one of the biggest bummers i've ever seen. it is the first time i have walked away from anything related to nirvana and thought, "shut up, kurt. you are tedious."
it is painful to listen to the ruminations of a 20-something mess, no matter how talented they are. i would love to see the film sans kurt's dialog.
This article is kind of weird. How come you don't refer to him as Richard Lee? He did run for Mayor of course so almost everyone knows him. Unfortunately, Cobain WAS murdered and it WAS covered up but Lee really turns the issue into a circus and people see him as a joke. I happen to accept the overwelming evidence put forth by Love's former private investigator.
He didn't just run for Mayor. If memory serves, he stood up on a table in a dress during the middle of one of the debates and had to be removed.
richard lee deserves recognition. yes, he has been showing us his nose hairs for a decade but his nirvana collection is probably bigger than yours and access cable tv is on a come back. Richard Lee = Vern Fonk x 6 + Boma Cho.
Boma Cho.
Richard Lee is no Vern Fonk (whatever the actors name is).
OMG, a depressive, junkie, artistic-type commits suicide? UNHEARD OF! I'm sorry, conspiracies seem super fun, but, um, no, I probably shouldn't point the thread in this direction actually...
Azerad's response was perfect.
I had the opportunity to read one of Lee's documents, that he sent to various Seattle officials repeatedly during the '90s. The guy was grasping at straws then and is grasping at straws now.
I used to enjoy watching his show, especially when he had nothing new and would just replay the same minute long loop of classic footage for the entire hour. Sometimes it was his harassment of Krist Novoselic in a courtroom, sometimes it was something so processed you couldn't tell what it was. It was better for the soul than 10 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys...
Richard Lee is the stupidest person who ever has lived. His show used to be entertaining, as it was mostly video of him wandering around stupidly, trying to cross paths with various Seattle scenesters, ineptly videoing his own face, and getting punched in said face after ineptly asking said scenesters the stupidest questions you've ever heard, and video of his camera flying across the street. I believe every one of the scenesters has a 100-yard restraining order out on him.
He's an amateur handwriting analyst too. I thought he was in the nuthatch; I guess he's out?
"talented photog"
those photos are anything but talented. actually i'd say they're the worst photographs i've ever seen.
i *heart* richard lee.
@21 - These are quickie cell phone pictures, not Curt's next art gallery show. C'mon now
at #10 - I moved here from sunny downtown Detroit in late 1998. I was so broke I didn't even have a TV set until mid-1999. Couldn't afford a mattress and box springs until about 2001. Had to SHARE a tiny $475 a month apartment on 11th and Fir with ugliest brown carpet you've never seen. The landlord had no teeth. I was hustlin' to find a job. I almost moved back to Detroit to make a better life...
Um, I guess I kinda missed the buzz on Richard Lee.
I still don't have cable or channel 77.
@22: Don't worry that you might seem unhip for not recognizing our hometown psycho, Kelly. Having no idea who Richard Lee is is the new black.
Richard Lee is enough of a Seattle institution that he should be made a mandatory Duck-stop.
I swear I used to live above him for a few months on 48th and Phinney. I ran into only once the entire time he lived there, and he gave me a scowl. Dude looked exactly like him....has anyone else in that neighborhood spotted him?
This post brought back such memories --
I spotted Lee walking the streets of Phinney Ridge, about 65th and Linden, several years ago. I was terrified that he was living in my neighborhood, but I haven't seen him since (except downtown). That is one spectacularly gross mustache.
anyone who fucks with self-assured uptight seattlites as much as richard is ok in my book. boston has mooninites & we have richard lee.
@28: Let's talk to Boston about a trade.
In every crowd, at least one douche bag.
Kurt killed himself. Get over it. Let him rest in peace. Stay off the junk.
Richard Lee diagnosis:
Neurotic obsessive-compulsive narcissist with Asperger's Syndrome and severe hygenic neglect.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Maybe Public Intern could stalk Richard Lee with a camcorder for a few years, and report back.
But yes, No. 6, Richard Lee and Goddess Kring getting it on could be the alt-reality hit of the season.
with the porn-review guy taping it and Jerkbeast narrating.
So,what's more revolting to yous guys, Richard Lee, or the idea that Kurdt's death wasn't a suicide? Jus' curious...
Someone please YouTube this episode of Lee's show. I don't have cable.
I've written a letter to the editor about this incident, hopefully they will print it in the next issue.
Honestly, I wasn't aware exactly who this man was, though I'd heard tale via Krist many years back (and I'm not exactly a Seattle newbie). Michael and I were totally blindsided by how intense and insane this man is. It's easy to pass him off as some eccentric until you are the victim of his attacks. Curt didn't mention that Lee then proceeded to follow Michael, my girlfriend and I back to our car, video camera inches from our faces and spitting vehement slurs. I really wanted to take him out, but the cop was following in his car for our safety. I'm glad I didn't have the chance to harm him - it wouldn't be the right reaction. But there is a history of suicide in my family so he was touching on some pretty raw nerves, not to mention that Kurt was a friend of ours.
He is obviously bipolar, manic and delusional. And fearless, which makes him potentially dangerous. We all felt traumatised the next day. If he ever comes near me again with that sort of behavior I will be seeking a restraining order.
To previous comment by Charles Peterson:
You call me "bipolar, manic and delusional" as well as "insane," even though you claim you only vaguely know of my work.
Snappy psychobabble judgments are exactly what I was criticizing writer Azerrad for, offering the world a chance to close the books on Cobain's homicide the day the body turned up (as a primary source for MTV and others).
I am a social critic and a media critic, and I began in this field as a teen, a very long time ago. In the Cobain affair, no one has dared (in 13 years!) to challenge me on factual accuracy, but as you can see from all of these Slog postings, there is never a shortage of Seattle scenester rage against me. Does this make me feel safe? No.
You, Charles Peterson, had the juicy gig of being Sub Pop photog with lots of exclusive access to concerts, and thusly are the much-praised definitive snapper of grunge. Congrats, Chuck, but some of us aren't on life's gravy train. We have to work hard.
Your first reaction to my approach was to slap my camera down. No credible professional journalist would react in such a way. Violence is a too-real part of recording historical truths some would like to see remain buried.
"I really wanted to take him out," you write. As so many have said and yet here I am.
And far from being unfair to your chum Azerrad, I was enticed to follow him by his repeated utterances of "I did it," knowingly quoting the recent quasi-confessions of O.J. Simpson. But readers can judge this for themselves Saturday at 11 PM on cable.

Correction: I had corrected that to read, "I am a journalist, social critic, and media critic..." but it didn't take. So minutes later I make the correction. --RL
If Kurt were alive today he would fucking HATE you. His contempt for obsessive "journalists" who pry into people's private lives for a story regardless of the ramifications was well documented (i.e.: Vanity Fair).
I could go on and on describing what is so obviously wrong with you but I won't as I am almost sure you thrive on such commentary being the narcissistic masochist you are.
I wish Kurt were still alive today. I really do. For many reasons but none so strong as the fact that if not for his death, you'd be just another poorly adjusted sociopath riding a moped through Phinney Ridge. You'd recognize what the rest of us already know despite your delusions of grandeur--you're nobody.
Mr Lee,
For the record I was attempting to turn your camera off. It was time for you to leave and you had no permission to film inside the Varsity.
What I did wasn't hard work? Shooting thousands of rolls of film (many at my own expense), putting out photo books, putting on shows, etc etc. Give me a break. It's called perseverance and talent. And having normal social skills.
What you perpetrated on Michael and I, Krist Novoselic, Greg Nickels, and others, is violence. You don't recognise it as such because of your mental illness, but it is. Richard, both my father and my brother suffer(ed) from bipolar, so I recognise the symptoms (and my father killed himself and my brother came very close). So I urge you to seek treatment and to please leave people alone. You don't understand how your behavior affects others. I'm sincere about this. You scared us, and pushed buttons about a dear friend of ours who killed himself. Of course I wanted to lash out. In hindsight we should have just apologised to rest of the audience and left the theater the moment you started escalating your verbal attack. I'm sorry we didn't.
To the second comment by Charles Peterson:
At this moment Im listening a very nice cover of Little Walters My Babe on the afternoon jazz program, and now the DJ has announced it as being by Curtis Stigers.
I mention this to emphasize that the world of music has its performers, its listeners, its journalists, and its cozy insiders, and the last group always seems out to gangsterize control of a scene enjoyed by the other three.
Your attitude is that of the insider. Your photos of the grunge years were competent, but they were created in an environment of exclusivity, so you had little competition, and the performers had little say in your capturing them for use by Sub Pop and others. So you made out quite well.
Although your photos often illustrate stories in newspapers and magazines, you have not gained any identification with working journalists. You think you have the right to turn my camera off? What is the basis of that belief? Even in Hollywood with the daily tussle of photogs and celebs, only very few incidents have ever occurred when a celeb has failed to understand that the law allows no such action. They are usually tried for assault.
Yet you write What you perpetrated was violence. How idiotic. And you opine that I have no idea how this has upset you and others. Of course I fully understand how your self image is based on people praising you regularly, based on your supposed artistic achievement, and how you want to skate through life exploiting your association with Kurt Cobain (your dear friend who killed himself), while toeing the corporate line about the circumstances of his death, propagating the suicide myth. If someone does not conform to your need to function this way, your reaction is to slap his camera down. That makes you a pompous jerk, not a victim.
As for your amateur headshrinking in your instant diagnosis of me as being of the same mental disorder as your dad and your brother, again, thats the sort of all-knowing rubbish Im criticizing Azarrad and others for. In your case, you try to gain sympathy for your personal problems, then advocate violence against a journalist you assert is sick like some members of your family. And then matters of evidence seem unimportant, right, because you might get your feelings hurt.
I really had no interest in addressing you at all last Friday, but you are obviously very eager to show your fanaticism to your cause, that of the myth of the sweetness and innocence of the music community.

Okay Richard. Just please don't ever come near me again.
To comment 3 by Peterson:
Or you may explode into ape-shit violence, based on your genetic disposition, right? I trouble myself to mention this because as of the last few days, you have become very much more interesting to the story, hence no promises stated or implied, Chuck.
And with the "okay" of the last message, you are now conceding that your flat arguments were without merit and deceptive in nature, right?
Slog debate over, yes?
Richard Lee
Wednesday, October 17, 2007, 6:41 PM
Excluding your televised broadcast on cable-access, which by the way, ANYONE with valid ID can do, where else have you been published since Kurt's death? And the internet doesn't count, because, well, that would mean we are all "published" for commenting on Slog.
And how many restraining orders have been taken out on you? (Krist, the Mayor, etc...) How much time have you spent in jail?
Seems to me that if your criminal record is longer than your resume, that makes you a stalker, not a journalist.
Richard, stop fucking with all my friends. Move to Los Angeles. That, after all, is where COURTNEY LIVES YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER.
P.S. Heaven sucks. It looks a lot like Bellevue.
Slog debate over then Richard? Yes?

"The western has been pronounced dead so many times for so many years, and I imagine it will be pronounced dead another 20 times before the century is over," says Clint Eastwood, 62, whose latest movie, Unforgiven, is, yup, a western. Eastwood believes there's life in the horse operas yet (a notion borne out by the film's $15 million business at the box office on its opening weekend), recalling that after he shot A Fistful of Dollars in Italy in 1963, everyone stateside told him oaters were over the hill. "Then there was a little article in Daily Variety saying that the western was dead but there was this little film in Italy. Per an Pugno di Dollari, that was doing really well. I didn't think much of it. The film I made [originally had another title], and [Variety] didn't say who was in it," says Eastwood. "A week later there's another story on Pugno di Dollari and how fantastic it's doing. I just looked at it with mild curiosity. Then in another week there was another thing talking about Pugno di Dollari 'with Clint Eastwood,' and I said, 'Wait a second! What am I doing in this?' Then I realized that they changed the title."
Stand-up comic Paula Poundstone, who served as The Tonight Show's political correspondent during the Democratic Convention last month, has been cramming to prepare for the same job at this week's COP gathering in Houston. "My manager got me a subscription to The New York Times a month ago, and I believe I'm now 29 days behind in reading it," says Poundstone, 32. "But I watch MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, C-Span and Washington Week in Review. I want to be able to drop an occasional intellectual political phrase into my conversation, but I don't want to have a thorough understanding of any of the ideas."And Poundstone. a Democrat who spoke earlier this year at a rally on behalf of Bill Clinton, has a personal agenda for the Republican Convention. "My goal is to meet Mark Shields, one of the political analysts on MacNeil/Lehrer. He's very intellectual, he's from Massachusetts [where Poundstone was raised], and he's also very cuddly looking. It's a combination he is probably not aware of."
Battle lines are being drawn as tennis titans Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova gear up for their $500,000 winner-take-all, two-out-of-three sets Battle of the Sexes showdown on Sept. 25 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (and available on pay-per-view). "It's gonna be a war," promises Connors, who turns 40 on Sept. 2. "I've always said I hate to lose more than I like to win, and this is probably more important than earning my own banner. Everyone wants to see if women can compete against men. When Billie Jean king [beat] Bobby Riggs [in 1973], it was difficult to take. But let's set the record straight here." Connors will be playing with two handicaps: He gets only one serve to the 35-year-old Navratilova's two, and he has to cover half the width of the doubles lanes while she covers only the regulation singles court. "I was the best in the men's game for eight years or so," says Connors, undaunted. "My goal now is to be the unofficial women's champion."

Aside from everything looking very sepia-toned throughout this g/g "western" ? not to mention the ludicrousness of every character in a, again, WESTERN being a super hot lesbian with a British accent ? GB&F is one blazing parade of muff mania.
Lolly Badcock plays the dirty sheriff who roams town blackmailing every other sultry lass around into a twat duel. And they're all just ridiculously splendid. They also happen to feature these gun-shaped dildos ? a cute touch that they put to great use.
Don't know if we could pick a standout scene, though we do fancy the first one with Badcock and Elizabeth Lawrence quite a bit.

What Is Pleural Effusion?
Pleural effusion, also called "water on the lung," is an excessive buildup of fluid between your lungs and chest cavity. There's always a small amount of liquid inside your lungs. This fluid works to coat the membranes (pleura) that line the outside of your lungs and lubricate the chest cavity to aid in breathing.
Certain medical conditions can cause this fluid to build up between the chest cavity and your lungs.
How Does Pleural Effusion Develop?
The pleura creates too much fluid when it's irritated or infected. This fluid accumulates in the chest cavity outside the lung, causing what's known as pleural effusion.
Certain types of cancer, such as lung, breast, and ovarian cancers, can cause pleural effusions. Lymphoma and mesothelioma can cause them too. Fluid also may build up as a result of certain cancer treatments, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
- Other causes of pleural effusions include:
- congestive heart failure
- cirrhosis (poor liver function)
- pulmonary embolism (blockage in the lung arteries caused by a blood clot)
- post-open-heart surgery
- pneumonia
- severe kidney disease
Find out if you're at risk for pulmonary arterial hypertension »
Symptoms and Signs of Pleural Effusion
Some people show no symptoms of pleural effusion. These people usually find out they have the condition through chest X-rays or physical examinations ordered for another reason.
- Common symptoms of pleural effusion include:
- dry cough
- fever
- difficulty breathing when lying down
- chest pain
- shortness of breath
See your doctor immediately if you have symptoms of pleural effusion.
Diagnosing Pleural Effusion
Your doctor will perform a physical examination and listen to your lungs with a stethoscope. They may also order a chest X-ray to help diagnosis pleural effusion, or one of the following tests:
- CT scan
- chest ultrasound
- pleural fluid analysis (or thoracentesis)
In a pleural fluid analysis, your doctor will remove fluid from the pleural membrane area by inserting a needle into the chest cavity and suctioning the fluid into a syringe. They'll then test the fluid for the presence of protein or cancer cells. Another name for this test is thoracentesis.
Your doctor may schedule a thoracoscopy if they suspect you have pleural effusion, but they're unable to diagnose it with these tests. A thoracoscopy is a surgical procedure that lets the doctor see inside the chest cavity using a fiber-optic camera.
Your doctor will make a few small incisions in the chest area while you're under general anesthesia. Then they'll insert the camera through one incision and the surgical tool through the other to extract a small amount of fluid or tissue for analysis.
Treating Pleural Effusion
The underlying cause of the condition and the severity of the effusion will determine treatment.
Draining Fluid
Generally, treatment involves draining the fluid from the chest cavity, either with a needle or a small tube inserted into the chest. You'll receive a local anesthetic before this procedure, which will make the treatment painless. However, you may feel some pain or discomfort at the incision site after the anesthetic wears off. Most doctors will prescribe medication to help relieve pain. You may need this treatment more than once if fluid re-collects.
Other treatments may be necessary to manage fluid buildup if cancer causes pleural effusion.
Pleurodesis is a treatment that occurs after drawing excess fluid out of the chest cavity. When the fluid is removed, a doctor injects a drug (typically talc) into the area. This causes the two layers of the pleura to stick together and prevents the buildup of fluid between the two layers.
In more serious cases, a doctor surgically inserts a shunt (small tube) into the chest cavity. This helps redirect the fluid from the chest to the abdomen, where it can be easily removed. Pleurectomy, in which part of the pleural lining is surgically removed, is also an option in very severe cases.
Treatment for minor cases of pleural effusion is minimally invasive. Most people recover within a few days. Minor complications from treatment include slight pain and discomfort, which often go away with time. Some cases of pleural effusion can have more serious complications, depending on the severity of the condition and treatment used.
Serious complications include:
- pulmonary edema or fluid in the lungs, which can result from draining too much fluid through thoracentisis
- partial collapsed lung
- infection or bleeding
- low blood pressure, which can result from draining fluid too rapidly
- shock
These complications, while serious, are very rare. Your doctor will help determine the most effective treatment option, and will discuss the benefits and risks of each procedure.

The United States Secretly Set Up a 'Cuban Twitter'
Aimed at undermining the government.
Between 2009 and 2012, the United States Agency for International Development created and ran ZunZuneo, a text-message-based social media platform intended to encourage an uprising against the government in Cuba, where there is virtually no internet access, the Associated Press reports. Described as a "bare-bones" version of Twitter, the plan involved attracting a user base with innocuous "news messages on soccer, music, and hurricane updates." Once a couple hundred thousand Cubans had signed up, "operators" would begin sending political messages in the hopes of triggering "a Cuban Spring," where citizens would "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society." Obviously, that didn't happen, but ZunZuneo did have 40,000 users by the time it shut down.
The origins of the network, which was funded with American money earmarked for a project in Pakistan, were kept secret. From the AP: "There will be absolutely no mention of United States government involvement," according to a 2010 memo from Mobile Accord, one of the project's contractors. "This is absolutely crucial for the long-term success of the service and to ensure the success of the Mission." This was accomplished by having the Denver-based Mobile Accord and another contractor, the D.C.-based Creative Associates International, run ZunZuneo through front companies based in Spain and the Cayman Islands while other employees worked out of several cities in Central America. A website, complete with "mock banner ads," was set up to help ZunZuneo look more like a real business.
An unnamed "key contact" at Cubacel, the state-run cell-phone company, gave a list of hundreds of thousands of Cuban numbers to a Cuban engineer living in Spain, who passed them along to USAID and Creative Associates International. The first attempt to attract users happened in September 2009, around the time of a Colombian rock star's concert in Havana, which turned out to be the country's largest public gathering since a 1998 visit from the Pope. A Chile-based Cuban "satirical artist" was hired to write "mildly political and comical" and "pointed" comments polling Cubans on their thoughts about the show. (The comedian was not aware of ZunZuneo's connection to the United States at the time.) The messages, which were then sent out to half a million people, received 100,000 responses. From there, Mobile Accord began building a database of Cubans who might be interested in the service, which they began marketing in February 2010.
Whether or not this is legal is "unclear." Per the AP: "U.S. law requires that any covert action by a federal agency must have a presidential authorization. Officials at USAID would not say who had approved the program or whether the White House was aware of it." However, a USAID spokesman told the AP that their actions had been reviewed by Congress and had been found to be "consistent" with United States law:
"USAID is a development agency, not an intelligence agency, and we work all over the world to help people exercise their fundamental rights and freedoms, and give them access to tools to improve their lives and connect with the outside world," he said.
"In the implementation," he added, "has the government taken steps to be discreet in non-permissive environments? Of course. That's how you protect the practitioners and the public. In hostile environments, we often take steps to protect the partners we're working with on the ground. This is not unique to Cuba."
By March 2011, ZunZuneo had 40,000 subscribers. However, by mid-2012, it had stopped working. According to Cuban students who spoke to the AP, intelligence officials said the program had been "blacklisted." USAID, meanwhile, says that ZunZuneo "ended when the money ran out." Unsurprisingly, the Cuban government would not comment.

The woman that witnesses saw jumping from the Lake of the Ozarks Community bridge around noon on Monday has been identified by the Missouri State Highway Patrol as 20-year-old Jaspreet Kaur from Springfield, Mo.
According to the online report, the victim stopped her vehicle on the shoulder of the toll bridge and exited the vehicle. Witnesses from several local businesses then say she climbed over the bridge and fell into the water. Witnesses also observed Kaur in the water before losing sight of her.
According to Lake Ozark Police Chief Mark Maples, Kaur was a college student in Springfield. A note recovered in the abandoned vehicle asked the reader to notify Kaur's family.
Next of kin has been notified. Recovery operations are currently underway. The scene is being treated as a suicide until Kaur's body can be recovered.

We designed the Flight Monster to meet multiple needs: Flight Bag, Oversized Red Bag, Out-of-County Bag. The terms to some extent depend on the agency, but in the end this is a full-featured, high volume duffel bag.
First, the bag had to work as a Hotshot type flight bag: big enough to fit fire gear, tent, sleeping bag, pad, and personal gear, for those times when a crew transport is transported via fixed wing. But flight bags tend to get used for a broad range of applications, like spiking and an ensuing packout. When you have a bag of this size, it inevitably ends up heavy, and can get extremely heavy. We put multiple carry options on it, all of which stow away. Backpack straps as padded and ergonomically shaped as our fire packs', a 2″ duffel style shoulder strap, and traditional haul handles. The stowability is for streamlined travel, both air and wheeled, as well as providing the user with the option to eliminate strapiness and excess harnessing without sacrificing features.
Any duffel bag also has to function as a travel bag, however, and this was something we kept coming back to in our development process. No matter what … READ MORE >

My name Is Jenna Berg. I'm a social worker. I have used Air bnb quite a bit before and really enjoy it.
