ID Documentation for new clients
When we appoint a new client we routinely do the following id checks:
Limited company:
Check companies house website for registration details
Obtain appointment report & if available annual return
Get a copy of utility bill for business address
Get a copy of photo driving licence or passport & home utility bill for each director (even if not acting for personally)
Do we need photo id for all of the directors in every instance, what if we are not acting for them? What if director supplies home utility bill & copy of paper driving licence as often happens even though we ask for photo id (we are not exactly starting our relationship in the most positive way if we then have to go back and ask for further photo id)
We also act for a substantial number of charities & go through same procedures obtaining a list of trustees / directors from Charity Commission or Companies House
Do we need to obtain photo id & home utility bill for the trustees & if so for which trustees? All of them, those that can sign cheques, or those that we liaise with? Do we need to regularly update this as new trustees are appointed?
We always complete a decision to accept appointment form for new clients which considers risks including ML risks and we have never appointed a client where we have had any ML concerns, so for our new clients the risks are minimal & consequently we only want to do the minimum checks necessary (to stand up to ICAEW scrutiny) rather than go overboard
What are your views?
I wouldn't want to discourage you from doing anything you feel appropriate and it is important that you comply with your own firm's ML procedures (established in accordance with Reg 20 MLR 2007) so check these first.
That having been said, have a look at the ICAEW guidance issued in August 2008 and especially Section 5B of that guidance. In normal situations this does not require that you obtain personal ID verification from directors of company clients (where the engagement is 'normal' risk and you meet a representative of the company face to face). In practice many firms do obtain this, at least from the Chief Executive / Managing Director and Finance Director.
The guidance requires you to identify 'beneficial owners' of the company (i.e. individuals holding more than 25% of the shares) but this 'secondary' identification, under Reg 5(b) rather than 5(a), requires that you know who these individuals are (not that you confirm this by examination of personal ID documents) so your Companies House check satisfies this requirement.
I don't know anybody else who asks for a utility bill for a company address.
Realistically I would be inclined to 'do' the company itself and a couple of directors with whom you deal in connection with the affairs of the company. But arguably even this is excessive. (Of course you also need to 'do' any individuals who are clients of the firm in their own right.)
As for charities - an incorporated charity is a company, so you know what to do. An unincorporated charity may be a trust, here you should 'do' the trustees with whom you conduct business and treat the remaining trustees as 'beneficial owners' (so you need to confirm who they are). An unincorporated charity which is not a trust is more difficult, you should 'do' the members of the governing body but if there is no constitution you will have to 'do' them all.
In each case do not forget to 'do' the charity itself, so get the constitution (if there is one) showing name, address, objects and description of beneficiaries, also check its registration with the Charity Commissioners (if appropriate - a church for example may be charitable but not registered with the CC). If there is no constitution you need to find another way to confirm these details.
With regard to individuals a passport is sufficient on its own. If there is no photo ID then two documents are sufficient (e.g. an old style driving licence and a utility bill). Don't forget an individual tax client who brings along recent bank statements and, say, a PAYE Notice of Coding issued by HMRC, has provided sufficient ID. Just because you use these documents for tax work does not mean you cannot use them as evidence of ID as well (but keep copies of them for ML ID record purposes).
You do need to keep the information up to date (see Reg 8) so you must deal with, for example, changes of trustees.
Does that answer your query?
David Winch
It sounds like you get quite a lot of information before doing business with companies. Have you ever thought about having a look at a credit checking provider. It costs money in order to do the checks but will save you a lot of time in the long run leaving you with time to expand the business
Go Electronic
Hi there,
Do the anti money laundering checks electronically and save yourself the headache!
Electronic AML checks
In order to run a check on an online system all you need is the Name, Address, Date of Birth, MRZ Number from passport or Drivers Licence Number or MPAN number off an electricity bill. You can also run a Sanction check. Bascially you can verify all the details online and it will tell you whether or not that information is valid to that individual. You can also run an Insolvency check on yor client plus you dont need the individuals permission to do this check!
Electronic Checks
Thank you Sara - do you, or anyone else, have a recommended supplier, and what are the costs please?

Thanks Sara
creditssafe to Sara
I have looked at your web site Sara and so far as I can see your reports do not constitute ML checks.
They are the same as I can get direct from companies house for £1.so why pay £4.99 plus vat >
Electronic AML Checks
You have to log in to view the aml checks. The credit checks that you were looking at for £8.99 are our company reports. They are fully comprehensive reports and you would pay double that going to Experian/Dun & Bradstreet etc. You can pay £1 with companies house but the information you recieve is basic making it difficult to make an informative decision.
overkill! twice
I always take the view best to have to many checks than not enough, it is easier to overkill than examine in fine detail the limit of checks neccesary. The only reason we carry out these checks is that we now live in a police state and need to protect ourselves, best as we can. I always explain to clients the reasons for the checks and the penalties if we do not comply, never had a problem yet.
There are lots of products that have been born out of the fear of these regulations, one sales person advised me that we would not be compliant if we did not use their product, but when quized knew nothing about money laundering.
The information provided is not used and seems to be held for some future purpose (perhaps to discredit people who might otherwise disagree with the government of the day).
Given that even the elite of our society are guilty of money laundering offences but are seen to get away with it and that criminal sanctions (eg Companies act provisions ) are rarely enforced, the whole system seems a bit pointless.
Duplication Duplication Duplication!!
Everyone is doing the same check, what a pointless and expensive waste of time! Presumably HMRC, the banks, etc have done it and, for an existing business, the outgoing accountant will have done it. Why can't the professional bodies and governments use their brains and just have one body checking and everyone else just checks with that body e.g. Companies House? In the case of accountants, the outgoing accountant could just confirm to the successor that ML has been carried out satisfactorily.
And why are we so accepting in this country? We should just say 'No, this is stupid, meaningless and inefficient, we are not going to do it'. Instead, we just go 'Baaaaaa' and gold plate everything that comes out of Brussels' derriere.
Risk based Approach
MLR 2007 regulations 20(1), 7(3) and 8(3) require firms to adopt a risk based approach. A risk based approach should balance the costs to the business and its customers with a realistic assessment of the business being used for money laundering or terrorist financing -HMRC MLR 8 Para 6.1.
I have now attended a number of visits by HMRC MLR teams with my clients. HMRC accept that a business does not have unlimited resources and providing you review the documentation you obtain and simply not file it away without making a considered written opinion, then they will not criticise you.
Ultimately it is for you to make the decision which you must balance against your available resources.
I hope this helps

ID Documents for new clients
Key here is risk, but also we need to make sure not getting confused between the 'how' to verify i.e. ID documents, electronic verification etc; and the 'who/what/when' to verify. Only by understanding the different risks can you then target your verification processes appropriately in terms of the who/what/when.
Irrespective of how you verify you will be wasting time and money if you adopt a blanket approach by doing the same checks with every client - you need to reserve the full monty checks only for those clients that need it based on a risk assessment. In addition your supervisory body will expect you to do sufficient/appropriate checks based on the risk. Either way therefore a risk based approach is the key.
As a financial investigator as well as someone who has been an MLRO I can maybe add a different perspective here. Having undertaken many money laundering and asset tracing investigations involving serious criminals and suspected terrorists I have seen many of the different techniques used by criminals to launder money and distance themselves from the assets.
For example it is highly unlikely that a serious criminal would have their name anywhere near the official documentation for a company - to do so would negate the benefits of being able to hide behind complex company/trust structures. Much more likely that they will present a 'clean front' with stooge directors and shareholders. The issue therefore is to understand the organisational structure and particularly who is actually in control behind the scenes - ignoring what it actually says on paper. Also in general terms charities and not-for-profit organisations are much more popular vehicles for money laundering than company structures. Being able to spot the warning signs is the key. An understanding of the particular transactions involved and whether the whole picture presented makes sense is also vital. While this may sound like a complicated way of dealing with this, time spent investing in tools and knowledge to make these kind of risk assessments will pay dividends compared to the time and money spent verifying everything, or the time, money and loss of liberty if you get it wrong!
Obviously you may already have this covered and I may have misinterpreted your post but I hope this is useful. If you think I may be able to help you develop your risk based approach along these lines please send me a post back and I will send you my contact details - I'd be more than happy to have a telephone chat to outline in more detail some of the solutions out there.
Can I just add clarification to one of the earlier posts where it was stated that you don't need the client's permission to run electronic verification checks, while this is true I believe that it is necessary to inform the client that such checks form part of your verification process.
Also please remember that the verification process may involve E-verification as a legitimate cost effective solution, but we need to recognise that in some cases this will only be a partial solution to your problem. For example e-verification can confirm that a particular identity exists and is 'clean' however it won't necesserily confirm that the client you have presenting that information to you is that person. There will be times when you need to use photo ID documents or compare real signatures etc.
Regards and Best wishes.
How do you verify Business Activities?
The ICAEW Anti Money Laundering Manual also states "It is important to verify the business activities so as to be satisfied that funds are from legitimate activities".
Unfortunately, it fails to mention how you should go about it.
Any ideas how this should be done at the start of a business relationship?
Is everyone doing this?
Fear factor
I agree that the work is being duplicated over & over at considerable expense, and this is one of the things that really annoys. Smaller practices bear a larger proportion of 'training' costs than do larger practices (we have to keep ALL our staff up to date with regulations .... all 2 of us :). We keenly comply with the regulations, and have submitted reports which don't seem to have been followed up, but we only deal with very small business. Most of our clients are very small, their annual turnover is lower than the tax/expenses fiddled by some of the 'elite' of our society.
There must be a better way, ie central 'free' ID checks, and then we report suspicions or known facts which could only be identified by the information made available to accountants. HMRC must know the 'dodgy' accountants who allow suspicious activity, and they could maybe give 'incentive' payments to those accountants who report tax evasion, etc. which result in criminal proceedings, or a large recovery of tax.
It seems to be 'everyone is guilty until proved innocent'. Why punish everyone for the 'few bad apples'.
Further comments on other posts
Many thanks for sparking this debate!
Neil, I agree with you about electronic verification. However in many cases there will, in the ordinary course of events, be additional evidence that the client actually is the person whose name and address he has supplied to you. For example the client may supply bank statements showing that name and address, or the accountant may have posted an engagement letter to that address and had the client return a signed copy. That, combined with electronic confirmation of identity, is normally considered sufficient. Of course, it is not 'bullet proof' but then, what is?
I also agree with you Neil about the importance of ML risk assessment (but Vicky did say she routinely undertook risk assessment of new clients).
With regard to verifying business activity, I think the point here is to keep alert to whether things 'look and feel right'. I was recently chatting to a local government Environmental Health Officer (the reason for that is a long story!). She said fast food outlets she visits on inspections will sometimes say to her, "How is it Jimmy in Back Street can sell pizzas for £x when I could never make a living at that price?". Her reply is often, "Jimmy's business is phoney - it is a front for money laundering." She can spot this from her knowledge of fast food businesses in her area. Would Jimmy's accountant have spotted this? If so, would he have reported it to his MLRO / SOCA? (She doesn't report her suspicions as she is not within the 'regulated sector' for PoCA / MLR.) Do bear in mind that the requirements of PoCA / MLR do not apply only at the start of the business relationship - it is a continuing obligation.
On the topic of reports being followed up - generally speaking HMRC are fairly keen to follow up reports of suspected tax evasion and the DWP are keen to follow up benefit fraud. The police are much less keen to follow up reports of suspected frauds (such as insurance frauds, mortgage frauds or frauds against employers). In all these areas though it is not the case that one report will lead to one investigation as night follows day. Often a report forms one piece of a jigsaw (particularly in police cases) and it is only when a number of pieces have been revealed that a matter may be selected for investigation.
It is well recognised within SOCA and other law enforcement agencies that 'suspicious activity reports', as they are known, are a resource which is underused by law enforcement bodies. The intention is to make better use of them and moves have been made in that direction.
David Winch
From speaking with a Vat officer, I am led to understand that unless the tax evasion amounts to £100K or more the information is not passed on very quickly and by the time HMRC get the information it is to late to do anything with.
Access to ELMER
Information from Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to SOCA is held on a database, known as ELMER. Various law enforcement authorities have online access to ELMER and so can access all SARs information at the proverbial click of a mouse. HMRC is one of the bodies with access to ELMER.
HMRC do, of course, have a system of prioritising information which they receive about suspected tax irregularities (including, for example, anonymous tip-offs by letter or phone) and they have limited resources to investigate and prosecute.
The specific criteria they use in deciding which cases to follow up and which of those cases to prosecute through the courts are not published (for obvious reasons). However it is emphatically not the case that one is safe from prosecution below £100,000 of tax evaded.
One does feel however that there is a lack of consistency between say the HMRC's criteria and those operated by the DWP (so that, for example, the DWP will prosecute a benefit fraud where HMRC would not prosecute a tax fraud in similar circumstances).
David Winch
Prosecutions and investigations
I agree, in my experience the criteria for HMRC is not that straightforward. Neither should we get confused about crieria for launching an investigation and criteria for prosecuting - the two are very different. An investigation may lead to a range of outcomes from disciplinary, civil action and at the top end prosecution. Not all investigations will therefore lead to prosecution and in fact most organisations are now looking to make sure they utilise the full range of sanctions available and only prosecute in certain circumstances. Because you have a range of prosecutors (HMRC, DWP, CPS, Treasury Solicitors) etc you will have different criteria applied by different prosecutors. What is needed is good links up between the prosecutors and the professional bodies and other organisations to make sure that the full menu of available sanctions is utilised. We should not view a failure to prosecute as a failure to act, provided that appropriate sanctions are applied. We also need publicity of those sanctions to add to the deterrent effect.
It is also true that unfortunately in the real world there are limited investigative resources and I know from experience the difficulty in making decisions about which investigations to take on and which to leave alone. One key aspect in that decision can often be the quality of the intelligence (tip-off) received.
Isn't it ironic
That so much effort is given to swelling the coffers to allow our national and european MPs a larger pot to embezzle.
Hello again
You seemed to have stunned everyone into silence on this occasion
I suppose, if you think about it, we abet them in their crimes
New Money Laundering Regulations
Hello Again...
I'm not sure that you may/may not be aware that as from January 2010 there will new AML Regulations put in place. You will have to run all checks electronically as you can no longer just take photocopies of a passort or driving licence to show that you are comply with AML. You have to validate the information and you will also have to run a sanction check through more than one source.
free checks
These electronic checks should be available free then perhaps as part of registering with HMRC. The state police can then advise us whether they don't like the person or not. This is just an expensive waste of time, designed to make agents lives a misery. Now that everyone is a criminal does it really matter what their specialism is ? be it drug dealer or fraudulent expense claimer, we are all equal again. It would be easier to look for the person without sin.
Yet another attack on honest citizens
I wonder why everyone is so accepting of all this nonsense. The only people who will suffer under this legislation are those trying to run a profitable business despite miles (or kilometres) of red tape. The accountants, lawyers and others having to do MLR checks will be the ones who are fined for doing something the Government should be making as easy and cost effective as possible. The criminals will get round the laws and be laughing all the way to the bank.
Is there any one out there interested in starting a protest campaign to try and get some more sensible legislation? Why don't we all just refuse to play ball until the Goverment makes life easier for us?
What are the ICAEW, CTA, FSA and Law Society doing to fight our corner and keep our costs/administration to a minimum? Seemingly nothing!!!
I don't believe there will be a change in the regulations for ac
Or we would have been put on notice of it by Government, our regulators and the likes of CCH trying to sell us revised compliance manuals.
Change to ML Regs in 2007? Consultation and months of notice. Increase in statutory holiday entitlement? Google it and count the hits! Change to MLR 2007 and nothing from anyone? Please.........
Dual standards
I agree, Bryan.
We 'put up' with it because small practitioners have not got the 'clout', or the money, to do otherwise, and it is a dirty big stick that is being waved around.
profit motive
Unfortunately those that are supposed to represent us are making to much money writing manuals and selling other related products. Add that to the age old problem of the big boys not understanding what a small business is and we have the current disasters. Those involved in the consultation process should be barred from profiting from the change.
Tax evasion is now rife and we are not supported in any way yet expected to sort out the muddle at our own expense while those that are supposed to be doing this job are busy using up their sick day entitlement.
Cutting AML bureacracy
Most discussions about compliance with the AML regulations focus on the ID checks.
Surely, the true cost of compliance is more to do with handling the paperwork involved. A record of all risk assessments, ID checks, training, and any reporting must be kept for at least 5 years after the business relationship with that client has ended. This is going to involve a significant amount of paper handling, printing, and filing - all hidden costs.
If you wish to try out PDF AML Risk Assessment form (for FREE) which calculates the risk for you, then email [email protected]. This form is very quick to complete, and can be saved and filed electronically.
Call me simplistic...
... but tax evasion seems more rife when taxes are punitive and the benefits derived are minimal!
Ironic that after 12 years of a socialist government child poverty in deprived areas has fallen to a par with Dickensian times!!
Waste of Time Example
Client comes to me 22/07/09. She started self employment in Sept 2004 and ceased June 2008. Gross income approx £580000. No VAT returns submitted, no tax returns submitted and no CIS returns submitted. Aprox liabs £150 to £200k plus penalties and interest. Assets practically nil, she spent the lot. HMRC been trying to do employer compliance check since Feb 2008 and taxpayer avoiding them. She decided to go bankrupt and wipe the slate clean. We resigned. Then spent 1.5 hours last night completing all paperwork and submitting SAR to SOCA.
The HMRC officer admits that the revenue will probably take the view that there is nothing in it, write it off and move on. Will she be prosecuted? I doubt it, the entire country is still waiting for the first prosecution arising from the ODF in 2007.
A total waste of time for me and HMRC. They already know.
Of course if I had't submitted a report I have commited a criminal offence and I have no doubt I would have been prosecuted.
Getting paid? No chance.
It is certainly . . .
It is certainly true that only a small minority of Suspicious Activity Reports submitted to SOCA trigger an investigation by the authorities. Some of the remaining reports are of use however in supplying additional information relevant to existing investigations, or future investigations triggered by some other event or discovery. I am not thinking here only of HMRC investigations - I also have in mind investigations by the police and other authorities.
We are not normally going to be remunerated for dealing with our statutory obligations. That is a fact of life.
In this example it does occur to me to ask whether the information was received by you in 'privileged circumstances' and ought not to have been reported to SOCA - but I am not suggesting that your report has done any harm since (as you point out) HMRC were already aware of the facts.
To David
Hi David our trusted and supportive guide always so generous with your time and advice, please do tell are we
going to have to do electronic checks from January or is somebody on this site trying to make money ?
Thank you
What a muddle
Errant builders are on the increase since the introduction of the new fantastic CIS scheme and they have also discovered that there is no need for an accountant or to pay their taxes, as the penalty if they are really bad is sweet FA, Yet we are required to keep on reporting ! hello ? Having gone to the effort of degrading myself and reporting I expect someone to take action, this would also support my clients and me who are honest and will have to pay for the lost tax and the lazy SOCA.
Re "Muddle"
Perhaps I should make myself a bit more clear!
In practice information from reports to SOCA is placed on a database. That database is available to various 'authorities' including HMRC, DWP, the police and so on.
The database reflects of course where the reporter has ticked a box or quoted a XX code (from the SAR glossary at http://www.soca.gov.uk/financialIntel/SARglossary.html ) in the white space of a report.
HMRC have staff dedicated to tax enquiry work and they are (I think it is fair to say) keen to pick up, evaluate and (where appropriate) act on reports of tax evasion received via SOCA. Combating tax evasion is a central function of HMRC.
The DWP have a similar approach to benefit fraud.
The police on the other hand are, broadly speaking, complaint driven. A report to SOCA is not a 'complaint' and financial crime is but one area of responsibility. A main focus of their activity is, for example, violent crime on the streets, another is robbery and burglary, another is car crime, etc. Financial crime is some way down their list of priorities. They are under no legal obligation to launch an investigation as a result of a report to SOCA - and they do have an awful lot of other stuff on their plate. Do you catch my drift?
I know that police forces do look at information on the database and will sometimes use it. On occasion a SOCA report will indeed trigger a new police investigation - but only on occasion.
Re 15 January 2010
I understand there is to be an eclipse of the sun over parts of the Southern Hemisphere on 15 January 2010. An island off the coast of India is expected to be one of the best locations from which to view this.
Other than that, I am not aware of anything special scheduled to occur on that day.
In 5 years time
We will be as used to ML regs as we are to changes in audit standards. I know a senior officer at SOCA who says, due to lack of resources, they concentrate on people trafficing, drugs and of course terrorism. If our SARs will not be used, why hesitate to make them? Roll with the regs, make your sytems slick and compliant and they will not be a burden, then get on with offering a top service so you at least have the issue of having to identify and risk assess all those honest people looking to appoint your firm. Works here
Query for David
I can see from your initial response to the OP the list of items you say is needed to verify a charity and it's trustees.
I am about to start to act for a branch of a very well known charity and I have been asked by the trustee (who is actually a Trustee for the National Charity temporarily holding office for the branch) why I need to verify him personally. Can you point me to anything of a legislative nature that I can show him.
Or is it actually necessary - seeing as there is no beneficial owner?
Many thanks
Trustee of a charity
The ICAEW is of the view that accountants are required to follow the CCAB Guidance on Anti-Money Laundering and, where that gives no specific guidance on a point, should adopt the AML Guidance issued to banks.
The banks' guidance includes this:
If the charity takes the form of a trust, it has no legal personality and its trustees have control and management over its affairs. Although those trustees who enter into the business relationship with the firm, in their capacity as trustees of that particular charitable trust, are the firm's customers, where there is a large number of trustees the firm may take a risk-based approach to determining on how many, and which, the firm must carry out full CDD measures; the identities of the other trustees would be verified as beneficial owners. (see paragraphs 5.3.244ff.)
In other words the default position is that you should verify the ID of ALL the trustees as they are 'the customer' but you may relax that by verifying the ID of just SOME of the trustees and confirming who the other trustees are, treating them simply as 'beneficial owners'.

The Rascalov Family was one of the four families of the russian mafia and the main group of antagonists in GTA IV. It was formed of what was left of the Faustin Family after the death of Mikhail Faustin.
Dimitri after Faustin's death asked Niko Bellic to meet him at a warehouse in East Hook where he and his partner and enemy of Niko Ray Bulgarin tried to kill him but Niko with Little Jacob's help was able to survive the ambush but failed to kill Dimitri or Bulgarin and he later burned down Niko's cousin Roman Bellic's apartment and cab depot. Later Lost MC member Ashley Butler owed Dimitri money and he used this advantage by forcing President Johnny Klebitz to kidnap Roman and bring him to the Bohan Warehouse where he tried to lure Niko into a death trap but Niko survived and rescued Roman.
Some time later Dimitri allied himself with the Ancelotti crime family and on their orders started blackmailing Deputy Mayor Bryce Dawkins about his gay affair with Bernie Crane in order to try and get him to put city contracts up for tender. But Niko who was friends with Bernie was able to kill the Blackmailers and protect Bernie from another killing attempt from Dimitri. Soon Dimitri heard about a diamond exchange at Charge Island between Niko and Luis Lopez (who was also an enemy of Bulgarin) and informed Bulgarin of the deal. Later Dimitri offered to buy some Heroin off the Pegorino crime family and their leader Jimmy Pegorino asked Niko to to the deal. But Niko soon learns that Dimitri is on a boat in East Hook from Roman.
- Deal - Niko and Phil Bell go to do the deal but Dimitri betrays Niko again by killing the buyer's representives making Niko and Bell fight their way to get the money. Dimitri then sends a hitman to Roman's wedding to kill Niko but instead kills Roman. Niko and Jacob find Dimitri and Pegorino at the Alderney Casino. Niko enters the casino where Dimitri kills Pegorino and attempts to escape by heli but crash lands on Happiness Island where Niko finally kills Dimitri.
- Revenge - Niko goes to the Platypus, fights his way to the cargo hold and kills Dimitri. Niko later kills Pegorino on Happiness Island.
In either choice the gang disolves and the Bulgarin Family steals the heroin, which is later destroyed.

Tanga regional commissioner Chiku Gallawa has cautioned Tanga residents against selling land without following legal procedures, saying it will cause more disputes in the region.
She said the question of land should be taken with great care taking into account that it had already caused many disputes, which would be overcome by proper ways of handling land issues.
The RC was closing a regional council consultative meeting held in Tanga yesterday.
She appealed to leaders from all levels of administration to help and educate Tanga residents about land issues.
She said if they sold the land now they would be blamed by their children as there was high land demand every year due to increased population.
She said instead of selling land, the residents particularly farmers, should focus on developing agricultural schemes so that they could grow cash and food crops to increase food security and fight against poverty in their lives.
"I ask you leaders and stakeholders to educate our farmers about the best use of land. Some of the farmers think about selling land without considering what will happen tomorrow. Let them know that even their children will need the same land. So, they must keep it for present and future generations," she explained.
Speaking about the environment, the RC said there was a need to conserve the environment in their areas and fight against poverty.

text: Inside the X Prize X Prize 28 August 09 by Mat Honan This article was taken from the October issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineStanding at the lectern at the United Nations building in New York, Peter Diamandis looks the demagogue. He has taken off his coat, and he's sweating slightly as he leans in towards the audience. His deep black hair has fallen across his brow now, and he doesn't pause to sweep it back. He smacks the table before him with the butt of his palm. You could be forgiven for thinking this was a replay of a Khrushchev diatribe and expect the engulfed Greek-American entrepreneur to take off his shoe and spank the lectern. But Diamandis isn't angry, nor is he threatening to crush capitalism. Far from it. Rather, he's impassioned with the vision of a new kind of public capital: prize capital. "If I had a billion dollars," he tells the assembled audience of 300 who have paid $1,800 a head to attend this first ever X Prize conference, "I'd create ten $100 million prizes!"Welcome to the age of prize philanthropy. Peter Diamandis's X Prize Foundation, founded in 1996 to usher in an era of private space flight, has brought a new era of innovation through competition along with it. In 1997, the total value of philanthropic prizes with purses of $100,000 or more was roughly $74 million. Today that number is $315 million. More than 60 of those prizes were launched after 2000 and now represent the bulk of the money on offer, some $250 million. And in the same years, prizes themselves have changed. Before the X Prize, most of the big awards (again, $100,000 or more) were for prior achievement - stuff like the Nobel Prize or the Man Booker Prize that recognise outstanding accomplishments in a certain field. Today, 78 per cent of the big prize money goes to inducement prizes such as the X Prize - prizes given to the person or team that first or best accomplishes a specific task. The prize ecosphere has also changed what's being rewarded. Whereas the arts were once the primary beneficiaries of such largesse, today they are dwarfed by prizes for big science-oriented competitions: aviation, space, engineering, medicine, mathematics, climate and the environment.Diamandis's first contest, the Ansari X Prize, awarded $10 million to the first private team that could send a manned flight into space and then repeat the feat. It took nearly a decade, but in 2004 aerospace giant Burt Rutan and Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen captured the purse when SpaceShipOne soared 100km into the ether for the second time. Allen and Rutan went on to join up with Richard Branson to form Virgin Galactic, and now hope to do for passenger space travel what Pan Am and TWA did for passenger air travel, eventually making it commonplace."The large aerospace players laughed at what we were proposing with the Ansari X Prize," says Diamandis, animatedly. "They said that it couldn't be done. And now, there's over a billion dollars invested in this personal-space-flight industry. I think we will see three or four commercial players operating in the next two to three years, offering seats in the $100,000 level."Yet space was just the beginning. Diamandis now wants to take the X Prize into even more uncharted frontiers. The Progressive Automotive X Prize seeks to revolutionise the roads. The Archon Genomics X Prize hopes to advance the field of personal medicine by awarding $10 million to the team that sequences 100 human genomes in ten days at a cost of less than $10,000 per genome. The Google Lunar X Prize seeks to take us even farther into space, and to get us there will shell out $30 million to the first team to land a robot successfully on the Moon.The next big prize to fall will be the Progressive Automotive X Prize, due to be won within the next year. The competition will award $10 million to the team that wins a series of stage races in 2010. But the race isn't open to just anyone with a hot rod: it's limited by a series of seemingly impossible limits. Cars have to meet strenuous emissions limits that factor in so-called upstream pollutants - so an electric vehicle, even though it produces no exhaust emissions, is held responsible for the greenhouse gases emitted during electricity production - and cannot exceed an average of more than 200 grams of CO2 per mile. Cars have to be production-ready; no concepts, no one-offs, no hyper-expensive pimped-out time-travelling DeLoreans with drivetrains powered by Mr Fusion (unfortunately). Teams must create a business plan demonstrating how the technology can be immediately implemented to produce 10,000 cars per year. That's in the real world - no pie-in-the-sky fantasy plan. Vehicles must run on existing fuel networks - which effectively screens out most hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles and other chicken-and-egg conundrums. And if all that weren't enough, there is the prize's main goal: every car must top the equivalent of at least 100mpg of petrol.Manage all that, and you get to compete in next year's races, the final of which will be 1,000 miles long. Altogether, some 111 teams with 136 vehicles have signed on. The courses, yet to be announced, will cover all types of terrain, weather conditions and communities across the United States. Vehicles must be able to perform not just in the flatlands of the Midwestern United States, but also in mountains and hills; in snow and in ice; and in hot desert weather. In short, anywhere one might drive a vehicle. Phew. And you thought LeMans was demanding. But the ultimate goal is something much bigger than awarding a prize to any one top performer: it's a complete rethink of the automobile. If the X Prize produces just a proof of concept, then it is a failure. Diamandis wants nothing less than to create an entirely new automotive industry of super-efficient vehicles that help end our dependency on oil and stem climate change. If everything works out as planned, the next car you buy could be a 100mpg machine. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

May 6, 2016
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Legislators say they don't expect any obstacles when they consider a bill allowing workers to make sure their employers carry workers' compensation insurance on them.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported officials from three interested groups agreed to undo a change to a law that made data on employers and their insurance policies private.
The announcement of an agreement among N.C. Rate Bureau, the state Industrial Commission and the N.C. Press Association came Wednesday during a meeting of a special legislative committee studying workers' compensation.
The News & Observer reported in April that as many as 30,000 employers required to carry insurance don't. That can leave those workers with several problems, including without guaranteed payment for lost work, injuries that will never heal and costly medical bills.

A Dream in Neoprene
Tropez came to the New Museum in this brilliant orange neoprene suit she purchased in France from designer Elizabeth de Senneville. She told me that she was surprised by all the attention she was receiving from people and showed me a text that she had sent to her designer friend saying that Americans were loving her outfit! She makes a nontraditional material look classic and elegant.

When it comes to the art of bracelet stacking, I have to be honest – there are very few rules. In my book, you can pile them up to your elbows until your coworkers kick you out of the cubicle quad for being the loudest typer ever. But, until then, mix metal chains with leather, studs with smooth watch faces, and soft hues with bold ones. As long as it's eclectic, it will work.

Bengals at Chargers
When: 1:25 p.m. Sunday
Where: Qualcomm Stadium
On the air: 105.3-FM; 1360-AM; 107.3-FM (Spanish)
Unless providence intervenes and the Chargers make the playoffs — something the Mayans would have to put on their calendar to get us to even discuss something so preposterous — the franchise is going to be looking for a new head coach come January.
But what of the general manager? That question's a bit more difficult to answer. Club President Dean Spanos likes stability. Canning both men may be too much for the franchise to successfully support.
It should be noted this is not all coach Norv Turner's fault. Hardly, although the angry villagers (how many of them are there, exactly?) certainly are carrying a torch for his ouster and next season will have another coach to despise.
Is Norv really a bad coach? A few weeks back ESPN's Ron Jaworski was discussing the Atlanta Falcons' winning streak and noted how so many people outside of football don't realize how difficult it is to win eight straight NFL games. I always go back to 2009, when the Chargers won 11 straight under Norv.
I just don't believe a bad coach can win 11 straight NFL games. He had to do something right and he did — with better players than he has now. But it doesn't matter. Unless he gets a visit from St. Nicholas, he won't be back.
Now General Manager A.J. Smith, who built the team out of the muck but has supervised its recent slide, also finds his neck on the stump. These are, after all, his players who are 4-7, every last one of them. But a whole lot of people around here should be careful what they wish for.
If I were forced to guess, I'd say Spanos will make it a package firing and shove both Norv and A.J. into a U-Haul. It's Dean's team, his dime. He can do whatever he pleases and he's done a great job of not really giving a damn what the fans think about his coach and GM.
Although I'd like to defend Norv, and I could, it really wouldn't do much good now. He's gone. But Smith is another matter and Spanos will have to think long and hard about ripping things up and starting from scratch. The process won't be short — Dean also could make a mistake with his hire — and it could set the franchise back years.
Before Spanos could even think of a coach, he'd have to hire a GM. GMs prefer to hire their own coaches. It's a comfort-level thing. So that's going to take time and many top coaching prospects could be gone by then.
Plus, Smith and his football people have been scouting colleges and potential free agents for months now. Maybe not all the personnel folks would be let go, but there's no certainty the players they've been scouting will fit in with the plans of a new GM and coach.
A.J. has ticked off a lot of people by letting go good players, but some of those situations couldn't be helped. As an example, could he afford to pay Michael Turner $30 million when he'd already made LaDainian Tomlinson the highest paid back in The League?
Two years ago A.J. screwed up and didn't have the right people to play special teams, and it resulted in a fiasco that cost the team the playoffs. He corrected that. After bad defensive play last year, Smith set out to make that side of the ball better. And, while not great, it has become plenty good enough to win. There is some young talent on that side of the ball.

The heroes watch as Blissey and Nurse Joy treat Ash's Pokémon, which got badly hurt in his previous battle with Paul. Dawn and Brock know everything will be fine when Nurse Joy heals the Pokémon, though Ash's spirit is broken. Dawn goes to him, but Brock stops her, as he needs some time alone. Team Rocket still works on their job. Meowth and James are very amazed by yesterday's fight, even if the twerp's Pokémon lost. Jessie demands to get the Pokémon as soon as possible, as the twerp is feeling bad.
Ash is thinking about his battle with Paul, how his strategy actually worked. Meanwhile, Brock and Happiny treat Ash's Pokémon, haping Joy and Blissey. Dawn feels down as well, so Piplup makes gestures that make her smile. Dawn has an idea and goes with Piplup. Brock is treating Ash's Pokémon and hearing Joy's compliment about helping her, he flirts with her. Croagunk immediately prepares himself to stab Brock, but Brock gives him excuses he is helping her. Croagunk leaves, while Brock is exhausted by this tension. Joy asks Brock to get some berries for Monferno, as it is not recovering as fast as it should. Brock came to Lake Acuity, as he still did not find the berries. He sees a spirit in the lake, which soon vanishes. While Brock is baffled, he sees the berries he was looking for.
Dawn trains her Pokémon for a special event. Monferno eats the berries and it wakes up, feeling much better. Ash is still thinking of his battle, which caused his Pokémon to be defeated. He turns around and sees his Pokémon, though still hurt, came to visit him. they cheer him up, but soon feel exhausted. Ash is nevertheless happy about it and knows Paul is a tough opponent, but this only means that he worked harder, so they need to work harder. Hearing these words, the Pokémon jump on Ash. As they go, Ash's hungry, so they go to eat. Team Rocket sees the Pokémon got the twerp cheered up.
As he came to the Center, Ash is informed Brock saw "it". Researching a bit, they discover that it was Uxie, though as a spirit, similar to what Ash saw Azelf and Dawn saw Mesprit. Joy reads that Azelf brings power to defeat enemies, Mesprit to cheer others up and Uxie that brings knowledge to solve problems. With all three, they keep the world in balance. Brock suspects that it might not be a coincidence they saw this. Ash laughs at this, as he thinks it is fun. Dawn wonders if Ash is doing too much. Ash heard this, but Dawn wants show something to him. Team Rocket is making an electric-proof net to catch the Pokémon.
Dawn comes to the stage, welcoming everyone. Nurse Joy whispers to Ash that Dawn has practiced this Circus performance to cheer him up. Pachirisu and Buneary make grimasses and slide down on Mamoswine's tusks, then pull its face. Mamoswine raises one leg and drops its tongue. Piplup comes in a costume, being confident. He jumps, but bangs into the ceiling, so Pachirisu and Buneary juggle him. Dawn is about to make a next act, but Team Rocket came, trying to get Ash depressed. As they end their "act", Team Rocket get Pikachu with their handmade net and Team Rocket takes off their disguises.
Team Rocket escapes, but gets chased by Ash and his Pokémon. Jessie sends Seviper, who uses Haze to dim the vision. Buizel uses Water Pulse, getting the smoke away. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but the net is electric-proof. Gliscor's Sand Attack, so Jessie sends Yanmega. Yanmega knocks Gliscor down, so James sends Carnivine, who uses Bullet Seed. Grotle uses Energy Ball, which hits Yanmega, while Staraptor wounds Canrnivine with Aerial Ace. Monferno attacks them with Mach Punch, setting Pikachu free. Jessie wants the one who told the twerp was an easy target, so James and Meowth tell her it was indeed she who wanted this. Jessie blames them for not stopping her.
They forgot Ash is still present, so he orders Buizel's Aqua Jet, Staraptor's Aerial Ace, Grotle's Energy Ball, Gliscor's X-Scissor, Monferno's Flamethrower and Pikachu's Quick Attack to hit Team Rocket. With so many attacks, Team Rocket are blasted off easily away. Seeing them so confident, Dawn tells her Pokémon they need to be ready for her next Contest. Joy advises her to go to Lilypad Town, which she shows on the map. Dawn is excited to see this, but before they go, Nurse Joy tells them to eat.
- Uxie (spirit)
- Ash's Monferno is added to the opening sequence. Despite this, Dawn's Ambipom still has not been removed, and the ending has also not been updated.
- Darkrai and Giratina get replaced by new images of Palkia and Dialga respectively in their appearance before and after the preview of the next episode.
- This is the first time since Ignorance is Blissey that a Nurse Joy owns a Blissey. In fact, Happiny and its evolutionary stages are in this episode as well.
- All of the main characters' Pokémon appeared, except James's Mime Jr.
- Piplup wore the same clown outfit as Pikachu did in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, only in a different color. The color scheme may have been based on Jessie and James's clown outfit from Jirachi: Wish Maker.
- This episode marks the first time Brock orders his Croagunk not to Poison Jab him before he does, due to his need to treat Ash's Pokémon alongside Nurse Joy.
- All of the Pokémon Ash has on hand remained outside of their Poké Balls for the entire episode, except for the last minute.
- Cartoon Network returns to displaying the show on its standard-definition feed in its original 16:9 aspect ratio, after showing the previous two episodes zoomed in to fill a 4:3 frame. However, they would reverse themselves again two episodes later, not returning to the 16:9 aspect ratio until Cartoon Network stopped their cropping practices sometime during the week prior to Sticking With Who You Know!.
- When Ash's Pokémon are each seen close-up just before the group attack, they appear in reverse order to which they were obtained by Ash: Gliscor, Buizel, Monferno, Grotle, Staraptor, and Pikachu.
- Monferno's ears were the wrong color in one scene at the Pokémon Center; they were the color of a Chimchar's ears.
- When Team Rocket interrupted Dawn's circus, Mamoswine was behind them, on stage. During Team Rocket's motto, Mamoswine was standing beside the stage, watching Team Rocket.

The Winston-Salem man killed in a wreck that seriously injured a state legislator had a blood alcohol content that was more than three times the legal limit for driving in North Carolina.
Winston-Salem police said in a report updated Wednesday that 54-year-old David Carmichael had a blood alcohol content of 0.29 percent when he was killed in the wreck December 2.
State Rep. Larry Womble remains in serious condition at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Police said he had no alcohol in his system.
Police said previously that the 70-year-old Womble crossed the center line of a street and collided head-on with Carmichael's vehicle.
Womble is a Democrat serving his ninth term representing Forsyth County.

- The Print
- The Artist
A true visionary of his day, Franz Marc produced canvases that brim and overflow with color and compositional tension. Although he painted mainly animals and scenes of nature, he portrayed them in a hyper intense style seemingly at odds with the tranquil subject matter – spiritually charged colors, violent twists and turns, and a pervasive intensity and charged atmosphere. Element of this style were also characteristic of many of his peers - Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, and Lyonel Feininger – with whom he co-founded the seminal Der Blaue Reiter group, an artist collective that staged some of the first truly modern 20th century exhibits. Sadly, his life was cut tragically short, when at the age of 36 he was killed at the frontlines of WWI before his reassignment letters could reach him; but his passion and artistry live on in his unique body of work.

Annual giving is so important to MCA. Annual funds are largely unrestricted, which means your gift can go directly toward the bottom line for the College and its programs. Annual giving is just that – annual. Contributions made from year to year from alumni, parents and friends provide a consistent stream of support for student scholarships and financial aid as well as academic and student-life programs.
Student scholarships and financial aid are our top priorities. Over the past few years, undergraduate scholarships and financial aid have increased by over 33%. Together, with the generosity of our Annual Fund donors, we have helped thousands of students realize their artistic dreams.
Academic and student life programs also benefit from unrestricted giving. Annual Fund gifts make it possible to create new academic programming, engage highly qualified and talented faculty, enhance library holdings and provide opportunities for cultural and artistic growth.
As a result of emergent technologies, new and expanding curricula and the growing needs of our students, MCA's funding priorities are constantly evolving, and that is why unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund are so important. Such gifts afford MCA the necessary resources and flexibility to support core priorities and to provide our students with the richest possible college experience.

The Stuntplane is a fixed-wing aircraft in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Stuntplane, as its namesake suggests, is a highly maneuverable plane made exclusively for stunts due its very responsive handling and ability to take sharp turns with ease.
Pressing the action/sub-missions button will activate a trail of red smoke, (regardless of the plane's actual color) coming out the back of the plane.
The Stuntplane has a remarkably fast take-off time, likely thanks to its light weight, and has a moderate amount of speed while in the air.
The plane's most notable feature is its incredible maneuvering capabilities which allow players to easily execute barrel rolls and loop-the-loops/inside loops (both of which are featured in Flying School trials). However, the very sensitive controls make the Stuntplane's handling tricky and easy to overcorrect, especially if damaged or while flying in high winds. This is especially true during the long Barnstorming race, where the coronas are placed at low altitudes, necessitating careful flying and patience.
- The Stuntplane draws inspiration from the Pitt's Special S-1 biplane and Extra 300.
- Like other planes that tilt upwards when parked (such as the Rustler, Nevada and Cropduster) the plane will roll backwards when the Cars drive on water cheat is enabled.
- The Stuntplane is used in the Flying School missions in Verdant Meadows.
The Stuntplane is available exclusively at Verdant Meadows in Bone County when all medals won in Flying School are at least silver and above. The only other ways to obtain it is through in-game cheats or by starting the flying race "Barnstorming" and storing it in the Verdant Meadows hangar, then intentionally failing the race.

Savannah's Chocolate Pecan
Gophers that hasn't already been

Well, sure, because of the fresh Georgia pecans. Creamy?
That would be the silky caramel layer in every delicious bite.
Chocolate-y? Oh yes, including your choice of milk, dark

LAUREL, Md. (WUSA) - Police say a man was murdered inside a Prince George's County home on Tuesday.

According to Prince George's County Police, Cornell was pronounced dead in the 11600 block of S. Laurel Drive. Police say the scene was "set up as an illegal gambling operation" and that three masked men may have knocked and then forced their way into the apartment before shooting Cornell.
Officers are working to identify the suspect(s) in this case.

ATLANTA -- A proposed prostitution ban met with opposition at an Atlanta City Council work session Monday. The meeting was designed to invite input on a proposed ordinance that would ban prostitutes and their customers from certain parts of the city after multiple arrests.
The meeting lasted for several hours. Community leaders, church pastors and advocates against sex trafficking said the ban was harshly targeting victims of the sex trade. They said they'd like to see more budget dollars devoted to outreach and second chance programs.
The ordinance was pushed by people who told the city they were tired of living with streets populated by prostitutes and their customers.
"You can't arrest these people because they just keep coming back," said midtown resident Peggy Denby. "So this is our best option."
But Chad Brock of the ACLU said they might consider challenging the ordinance if it becomes law. He said the state Supreme Court has said in the past that banishments are ok if they are reasonable or aimed at rehabilitation. Brock said this ordinance as currently written would not meet those standards.
"Instead of pairing you up with the social services you need, they're telling you to go away," Brock said. "We don't believe that's going to help any sex worker rehabilitating themselves."
The ordinance will head to a committee Tuesday. After that it could come up for a vote at next Monday's City Council meeting.

I'm good with understanding technology and implementing it. At least that is what I feel. But it seems that when I come across experienced programmers they point out that my logic is weak. I feel that I would need some time with real programming to improve it. But nobody is ready to give that time to me. I'm just about starting my carer and it often feels disheartening to hear this. I want know how can I improve my logic and also does this sort of thing happens to others too?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Are you sure that your weakness really regards logic?
Logic is a strict relative of mathematics and phylosophy and, as long as I have seen in my life, has quite little to share with the actual practice of programming. See what wikipedia says of it:
At its extreme, logic becomes symbolic logic and do becomes a branch of mathematic:
Most likely, your weakness is actually related to problem solving and abstraction:
To be an autonomous, professional programmer, you do need to master these two "discipline".
If this is your case, you can get a lot of help from a bunch of good books and a bunch of "methodologies".
Problem solving, in our field, is mainly a matter of:
Abstraction is mainly a matter of:
So, you can learn a lot about these topics just by reading a few good books. Just Google around for "best programming books", "best software development books" or "best software engineering books".
To be more precise, most likely you have just reached the point where the plain "software development" practice (that is: "programming", "coding") leaves the scene to "software engineering" and "software architecture" ("organizing" or "structuring" the code and the related application). So, most likely, you need to start reading a few books that regards these topics.
Books like Code Complete and The pragmatic Programmer can be a starting point for your search (because they set the scene for the rest of your study).
For what regards practice (the possibility to work with good programmers on interesting projects), IMHO following/contributing to an Open Source project can be one of the best way to practice. You can choose the project that fascinates you most, the one you feel you can contribute to, the one that does not make you feel too anxious. You can join when you feel ready and you can contribute at your own pace. What else can you ask to a project?
Of course, do not expect that other programmers will spend much time explaining you how to improve your skills in detail. They will expect that you read and study a lot yourself to bring yourself at the required level. Contributing to an Open Source project is an opportunity for practice (something like a "stage" or an "internship") not a school.
And yes: this happens to others too. Almost all the seasoned programmers, sooner or later, had to undergo this transformation from simple "coders" to "software engineers". It is not easy, sometime it is not funny but, nevertheless, it is the passage that makes a real professional.
If you are looking for help and people can see that you are dedicated to the project or your career choice than you will find an abundance of help.
I am a first year University student in Computing and Information Systems and the first thing I did was to get involved in open source. Attempt Meetup groups that have a keen interest in IT (if applicable), read a bunch of good books and practice the new acquired skills. Study and master discrete mathematics, this will provide a basic path for coding more logically. Asking questions should result in sharing ideas, meaning you have the idea or an inspiration but don't know how to put that in practice will almost give you the right answers. Be curious, accept criticism, learn and grow through feedback of your peers, then you will become more skilled, in your coding community.
Best wishes in your pursuit.
You're probably not nearly as good as you think you are. I've been developing software for 25 years, but I didn't realize I was just a hacker until five years ago. I realized this after I started working with some really talented and passionate software engineers. This is what you need to do. Work with people who are passionate about engineering software, and seek their help and advice.
You said that no one is willing to help you. This is nonsense. I have found that people who are really passionate about software development, and are really good, are also passionate about helping others. Keep looking. Those people are out there.
Code. A lot. Try out websites like http://projecteuler.net/ and http://acm.timus.ru/ Each has tons of exercises that can help you improve on your logic.

- "Experience has taught me that a man like you can be very loyal for the right price, but groups of men get greedy."
- ―Donald Love to Claude
Liberator is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto III, given to protagonist Claude by media tycoon Donald Love from his offices in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City
Claude goes to see Donald Love, who thanks him for dealing with a "personal matter". He also informs Claude of knowing an "Old Oriental Gentleman" who is now kidnapped by the Colombian Cartel and he wants Claude to rescue him from a Cartel compound in Aspatria.
Realizing that the only way to enter the compound is by entering with a Cartel Cruiser, Claude goes to Fort Staunton steals one and is automatically allowed inside the compound, but is quickly recognized by the Colombians. Claude quickly reacts and takes all the Colombians out before finding the Old Oriental Gentleman in one of several garages (where at least one Cartel member each is hiding). Once all the Colombians are dead, he gets in a car with the Oriental Gentleman and takes him back to Donald Love, completing the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go 'jack' a Columbian gang car, so you can infiltrate the hideout, head north and you'll find one in Fort Staunton
- Rescue the Old Oriental Gentleman
- Take the Old Oriental Gentleman back to Donald Love's building
- While it is possible to enter the Cartel compound without a Cartel Cruiser by jumping over the gate using a large vehicle, the compound remains empty and non-interactive until the player is driving a Cartel Cruiser.
- An effective method when killing Cartel members is to simply run over half of them using the same Cartel Cruiser the player used to enter, to the point the vehicle is badly damaged from gunfire and the player is required to dispatch the rest on foot.
- When dealing with Cartel members holed up in the garages, the player may benefit by using a shotgun. As the garage doors will only open when the player is close to the door and also the hiding Cartel, players may sustain more damage due to close-quarter gunfire, thus requiring the players kill them as quickly as possible; shotguns can easily deal a single-shot kill, ensuring minimal damage to the player.
- Another method is to stay at the gates then kill all enemies in the screen with the sniper rifle then enter the garage and kill the last two or three enemies with your vehicle
- The Oriental Gentleman that you rescue in this mission also appears in the game's intro cutscene. He was kidnapped when the Columbian Cartel stopped the SWAT car that you were in.

Comments On Mar 29, 2012:So I ordered this wrap as I am bald and thought it would be nice to have something between my head and helmet liner. I wore this on a 4 hour ride and it worked pretty darn good. However towards the end of the day my head started hurting, and I think it was the wrap. So maybe a little small for my melon, but I like the material and will try it out again on the next ride, maybe it streched some.

Comments On Mar 26, 2011:I usually wear a medium helmet and this was a little too big for me. In order for it to fit snug I pretty much had to pull it down to eye level. I like the material and how thin it is. Too bad it was just too big.

Comments On Nov 24, 2010:My brother always wears one so I tried it...can't get used to it + makes my helmet too tight. Personal preference.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 27, 2010:while these do work great for keeping your helmet dry, they shrink after only a couple washings even if you air dry them. I have an average size head so I can still get it on but coverage is poor ,If your head is on the larger side I guess you will be throwing it out, oh and I see the price has jumped considerably on these? I wont buy another one
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 12, 2008:Nice fit, I actually used it mainly for racing my Ducati 999. Never got to try it for dirt as I high sided at 120mph and in all the confusion after removing my helmet, it must have found a new home out in one of the turns at Buttonwillow. lol
Additional Comments On Jan 13, 2009:So I picked up two more of these. Use them for dirt and they work great. Problem is I sweat like a pig and the beanie is basically soaked after one 10 lap session. I bring two to the track but will be picking up 2 more. Nothing worse than putting on a wet beanie.. ugh
Additional Comments On Jan 13, 2009:Forgot to add.. Although they get soaked with sweat, they keep the helmet dry which means less time removing the liner and washing it every time.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 24, 2007:I bought the EVS beanie prior to the Scott beanine. The EVS has a sweat absorbing pad that made my helmet too tight. The Scott beanie was the perfect replacement. It doesn't add any noticeable amount to the size of your head and still does a great job of dealing with the sweat.

Apple's memory prices are an outstanding rip-off all across the board. But there's one born every minute. And yes, I have a LOT of Apple equipment but am very reluctant to pay their memory prices.
Rumors of 128GB iPad prove true
Lauren Crabbe | Published: Jan 29, 2013 at 17:49 UTC33
The latest Apple tablet rumors rang true this morning with the official announcement of a 128GB version of the fourth generation iPad, twice the capacity of the current 64GB high-end of the iPad capacity scale. The new tablet will go on sale Tuesday, Feb. 5 for US$799 with wi-fi and US$929 with cellular and wi-fi.
Even with the benefits of a cellular connection, the higher-priced $929 version of a 128GB iPad is only $170 cheaper than the 128GB, 11-inch MacBook Air priced at $1,099. Among other things, the extra $170 buys the familiar OSX with high-powered editing apps and trackpad/mouse navigation.
So why should photographers bother getting the new iPad when you can get a full MacBook Air for just $170 more?
The iPad offers a full retina display screen for super high resolution photo viewing as well as cellular capabilities to send photos whenever Internet access is unavailable. With devices like PhotoJojo's iPad Card Reader, photographers can easily upload their images from a Micro SD card, SD card, or USB port. iOS photo editing apps like Snapseed and Adobe Photoshop Touch can perform high quality edits on an iPad, and the App Store offers an additional 300,000 native iPad apps.
Even with significantly higher storage capacity, the newest version of the iPad may still come with drawbacks for the serious photographer. The device may struggle to offload images from memory cards larger than 4GB. And while the iPad will allow for the download of RAW files, it does not support the myriad translators needed to properly manipulate the formats.
Tech writer Jeff Carlson wrote a 238-page book about how the iPad can be used by photographers. "The iPad for Photographers" (a chapter on editing can be downloaded for free here) explores how to import, organize and edit photos as well as how to use an iPad in a studio environment.
Carlson admits that while the iPad is an excellent device, is not a replacement for detailed photo editing in a studio. Instead, he uses the device as a tool to view, sort, and edit photos for social media while traveling.
Let's hear from you: Do you use a tablet for your photography? If so, how does it fit into your workflow? If you don't have one yet, will a 128GB version of the iPad persuade you otherwise?
