Let's start with some pure, unvarnished facts.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 followers of Osama bin Laden boarded four commercial U.S. airliners. Five boarded American Airlines Flight 11 in Boston, ostensibly en route to Los Angeles (two of those five actually started their journey in Portland, Maine, flying from there to Boston). Five more boarded United Flight 175, also in Boston and also bound for LA. Another five took their seats on American Flight 77, which was taking off from Washington, D.C., and also heading to Los Angeles. And the final four boarded United Flight 93 in Newark, New Jersey on the way to San Francisco.
Less than two hours after the first of the terrorists had boarded his plane, all four had crashed and just short of 3,000 people were dead.
All that is true, and much more. What happened nine years ago today changed everything, as the Bush administration liked to say, and not nearly enough of it was for the better. In fact, very little was.
For one thing, we had our first "who could have anticipated" moment from the Republicans, as in "who could have anticipated that terrorists would fly airplanes into buildings?" Why, the intelligence community, who, just the month before, had told President George W. Bush that bin Laden was thinking about such a thing.
With the hijackers at the controls, Flight 11 hit the World Trade Center's north tower. Moments later, my newsroom got the news that a plane had slammed into the tower at 8:46. We had video up fast and spent the next few minutes wondering how a pilot could make a mistake like that. The smoke obscured the size of the hole in the building, but we were trying to get a better look 17 minutes later when Flight 175 hit the south tower. At 9:03 that Tuesday morning, we knew we were looking at a terrorist attack.
It was not an easy thing to deal with. Even though we saw no bodies immediately, the death toll, we knew, would be high. We struggled to come to grips with what we were seeing, but we were all professionals. We soon put our feelings on the back burner somewhere and focused on the task at hand.
And then we heard the Pentagon was on fire. Flight 77 had struck there, and at least one more plane was missing. I can't even recount all the rumors that followed about what planes were where that day. Somewhere along the way, someone spotted the smoke from Flight 93 — which we learned later had been brought down by revolting passengers — billowing up from a field in Pennsylvania. Later — much later — we hear from Khalid Sheikh Muhammed himself that the Capitol had been its intended target.
Flight 93 came down just minutes after the south tower fell, and the north tower came down less than a half hour later, sealing the fate of rescuers and the hoping-to-be-rescued alike.
I cannot describe what that hour and a half was Iike, between the first strike and the north tower's collapse, partly because it's all a blur and partly because I fear dredging up some of the feelings I suppressed that day and the days that followed — feelings that haunted my dreams and nightmares and some of my waking hours in the weeks and months to follow. Even now, I sometimes feel a chill when I catch a view of a building near where I work, one with a vague resemblance to the WTC towers, and cannot keep my mind from imagining a jet flying into the mirrored walls.
All of that is fact, although some of it is personal, not things you would know unless you knew me, personally, and I had told you. You would have to know me very, very well. I am telling you this much, now, so you can, perhaps, understand some of what my colleagues went through. I wasn't there. I saw it all on raw video feeds, live, as it happened, and in the halting words of my colleagues, emergency workers and witnesses who were there. I can't imagine how they sleep at night, even now. I can't imagine how many real journalists — not the pretend journalists who pontificate from behind avante garde desks on any number of television shows originating in Washington or New York — sleep at night, spending so much of their time covering disasters. The floods, the hurricanes, the fires. But worse of all are the stories about man's inhumanity to man — 9/11, the Holocaust, the Kosovar and Rwandan genocides.
9/11 pales in comparison to the others but for one thing: It happened in one day, in one 90-minute period. A beautiful blue fall morning, and then fire and smoke and dust and screams and death.
Likely, you have your own stories — where you were, what you were doing at the precise moment you learned about the attack. Like I remember those things about when I learned about the JFK assassination. Now I have two of those things, impressed indelibly on the network of my nervous system and likely to flair into my thoughts unannounced.
As a result of those incidents, the United States entered into war in Afghanistan, shrunk some of the civil liberties of its own citizens and began fostering a slow, simmering bigotry that, for a short time, most Americans tried to fight off.
Bush had a golden opportunity to heal the serious divisions caused by the Republicans non-stop, eight-year-long attack on Bill Clinton simply because he was a Democrat who had the audacity to win the presidency.
He squandered it. But that should have been obvious from the start when he won election by virtue of being appointed by the Supreme Court and promptly claimed a mandate to do whatever the fuck he wanted and to hell the with other half of the country.
All of whom were promptly labeled traitors and terrorist sympathizers after as 9/11, doubled down on March 20, 2003, when Bush did what he'd been planning to do since before the election — he invaded Iraq.
Instead of bringing a divided country together, Bush and the Republicans widened the rift, holding us hostage to fear — fear they fostered.
Those are facts, too, but you wouldn't know it from listening, watching or reading most of my colleagues. I tell you these things to gently show you how easily facts can be twisted, denied and ignored. Here are some things that are not facts.
The towers were brought down by controlled explosions.
It was an inside job.
Several of the hijackers were later seen alive.
The Pentagon was hit by a missile.
Flight 93 was shot down.
Despite what you may hear from the conspiracy-mongers who believe this shit, none of it is true. Come on, the Bush administration wasn't competent enough to plan this. Or maybe these dweebs believe Clinton planned it before he left office.
I don't even know why I'm going on about this, except that all this Quran burning crap finally got to me, just like the scary Muslim terrorist meme that started on September 11, 2001, finally got to Terry Jones and Pam Geller and the rest of the conservatives who have finally loosed their inner Islamaphobe. Nine years later.
What the Reagan Revolution started — economic destruction and the largest divide between the haves and have nots since the robber barons — Bush put the finishing touches on. But then, term limits took him out, and Americans started to see reality. They not only elected a Democrat, but they elected a black Democrat. And at that moment, we had our one and only chance to stop disaster.
Barack Obama squandered it. He tried to make nice with men and women who had no intentions whatsoever of cooperating, who, in fact, had made it clear from the very start that they intended to assure his presidency's failure. It hasn't really worked, of course. The Obama administration, while not living up to our dreams and aspirations, has accomplished quite a bit. The world is a better place right now than it was on January 19, 2009.
But you wouldn't know that listening, watching and reading my colleagues. They're too busy looking for the scandals, the most minute inconsistencies they can find. And the Republicans, who have spent all their time looking for problems instead of solutions, are happy to provide them with all their hard work. And that's what passes as "news" these days.
This week, it's Terry Jones and the Quran Burners. My colleagues have given you the blow-by-blow of everything, right up to Jones' not really set up meeting with the "iman" in New York who is building an Islamic Community Center too close to ground zero for the conservatives. And by too close, they mean in the United States.
What my colleagues have failed to point out, however, is that the very conservatives who want nothing to do with the "iman's" First Amendment rights to freedom of religion are all about Terry Jones' First Amendment rights to freedom of speech.
It's been nine years since those 19 men, trained and funded by al Qaeda, did their dirty work. And we have learned nothing at all.

The blue planet's toxic new colours
Tar-sand oil -- Alberta, Canada
The roof of this tank of oil at Fort McMurray's plant in Alberta may look corroded and rusty, but its manufacturer has assured Fair that it's in fully operational condition. The tank can hold up to 450,000 barrels of oil that has been "upgraded" from tar sand. According to Canada's Ministry of the Environment, Alberta will double its current production over the next ten years to more than 1.8 million barrels a day, levelling more than 700,000 acres of forest.

31 U.S. Code § 6506 - Development assistance
prev | next
(a) The economic and social development of the United States and the achievement of satisfactory levels of living depend on the sound and orderly development of urban and rural areas. When urbanization proceeds rapidly, the sound and orderly development of urban communities depends to a large degree on the social and economic health and the sound development of smaller communities and rural areas.
(b) The President shall prescribe regulations governing the formulation, evaluation, and review of United States Government programs and projects having a significant impact on area and community development (including programs and projects providing assistance to States and localities) to serve most effectively the basic objectives of subsection (a) of this section. The regulations shall provide for the consideration of concurrently achieving the following specific objectives and, to the extent authorized by law, reasoned choices shall be made between the objectives when they conflict:
(1) appropriate land uses for housing, commercial, industrial, governmental, institutional, and other purposes.
(3) balanced transportation systems, including highway, air, water, pedestrian, mass transit, and other means to move people and goods.
(6) properly planned community facilities (including utilities for supplying power, water, and communications) for safely disposing of wastes, and for other purposes.
(c) To the extent possible, all national, regional, State, and local viewpoints shall be considered in planning development programs and projects of the United States Government or assisted by the Government. State and local government objectives and the objectives of regional organizations shall be considered within a framework of national public objectives expressed in laws of the United States. Available projections of future conditions in the United States and needs of regions, States, and localities shall be considered in plan formulation, evaluation, and review.
(d) To the maximum extent possible and consistent with national objectives, assistance for development purposes shall be consistent with and further the objectives of State, regional, and local comprehensive planning. Consideration shall be given to all developmental aspects of our total national community, including housing, transportation, economic development, natural and human resources development, community facilities, and the general improvement of living environments.
(e) To the maximum extent practicable, each executive agency carrying out a development assistance program shall consult with and seek advice from all other significantly affected executive agencies in an effort to ensure completely coordinated programs. To the extent possible, systematic planning required by individual United States Government programs (such as highway construction, urban renewal, and open space) shall be coordinated with and, to the extent authorized by law, made part of comprehensive local and areawide development planning.
(f) When a law of the United States provides that both a special-purpose unit of local government and a unit of general local government are eligible to receive a loan or grant, the head of an executive agency shall make the loan or grant to the unit of general local government instead of the special-purpose unit of local government in the absence of substantial reasons to the contrary.

Ex. Ord. No. 12372, July 14, 1982, 47 F.R. 30959, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 12416, Apr. 8, 1983, 48 F.R. 15587, provided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including Section 401(a) of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4231 (a)) [31 U.S.C. 6506 (a) and (b)], Section 204 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966 (42. U.S.C. 3334) and Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, and in order to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism by relying on State and local processes for the State and local government coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Federal agencies shall provide opportunities for consultation by elected officials of those State and local governments that would provide the non-Federal funds for, or that would be directly affected by, proposed Federal financial assistance or direct Federal development.
Sec. 2. To the extent the States, in consultation with local general purpose governments, and local special purpose governments they consider appropriate, develop their own processes or refine existing processes for State and local elected officials to review and coordinate proposed Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development, the Federal agencies shall, to the extent permitted by law:
(a) Utilize the State process to determine official views of State and local elected officials.
(b) Communicate with State and local elected officials as early in the program planning cycle as is reasonably feasible to explain specific plans and actions.
(c) Make efforts to accommodate State and local elected officials' concerns with proposed Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development that are communicated through the designated State process. For those cases where the concerns cannot be accommodated, Federal officials shall explain the bases for their decision in a timely manner.
(d) Allow the States to simplify and consolidate existing Federally required State plan submissions. Where State planning and budgeting systems are sufficient and where permitted by law, the substitution of State plans for Federally required State plans shall be encouraged by the agencies.
(e) Seek the coordination of views of affected State and local elected officials in one State with those of another State when proposed Federal financial assistance or direct Federal development has an impact on interstate metropolitan urban centers or other interstate areas. Existing interstate mechanisms that are redesignated as part of the State process may be used for this purpose.
(f) Support State and local governments by discouraging the reauthorization or creation of any planning organization which is Federally-funded, which has a Federally-prescribed membership, which is established for a limited purpose, and which is not adequately representative of, or accountable to, State or local elected officials.
Sec. 3. (a) The State process referred to in Section 2 shall include those where States delegate, in specific instances, to local elected officials the review, coordination, and communication with Federal agencies.
(b) At the discretion of the State and local elected officials, the State process may exclude certain Federal programs from review and comment.
Sec. 4. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall maintain a list of official State entities designated by the States to review and coordinate proposed Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development. The Office of Management and Budget shall disseminate such lists to the Federal agencies.
Sec. 5. (a) Agencies shall propose rules and regulations governing the formulation, evaluation, and review of proposed Federal financial assistance and direct Federal development pursuant to this Order, to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval.
(b) The rules and regulations which result from the process indicated in Section 5(a) above shall replace any current rules and regulations and become effective September 30, 1983.
Sec. 6. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations, if any, as he deems appropriate for the effective implementation and administration of this Order and the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act of 1968 [31 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.]. The Director is also authorized to exercise the authority vested in the President by Section 401(a) of that Act (42 U.S.C. 4231 (a)) [31 U.S.C. 6506 (a) and (b)] in a manner consistent with this Order.
Sec. 7. The Memorandum of November 8, 1968, is terminated (33 Fed. Reg. 16487, November 13, 1968). The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall revoke OMB Circular A–95, which was issued pursuant to that Memorandum. However, Federal agencies shall continue to comply with the rules and regulations issued pursuant to that Memorandum, including those issued by the Office of Management and Budget, until new rules and regulations have been issued in accord with this Order.
Sec. 8. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall report to the President by September 30, 1984 on Federal agency compliance with this Order. The views of State and local elected officials on their experiences with these policies, along with any suggestions for improvement, will be included in the Director's report.Ronald Reagan.

'Xerneas' (Japanese: ゼルネアス Zeruneasu) is the Fairy-type Life Pokémon. It, along with Yveltal, are Legendary Pokemon in Pokémon X and Y.
In the glint of its eyes is the shape of the letter "X", hence the title of the game and when it stands, its body seems to be in the shape of an "X".
Gender differences
- Xerneas is the second Pokémon to have a name to start with X, the first one being Xatu.
- Xerneas is the only legendary Pokémon which name starts with X.
- Xerneas is the first legendary Pokémon to have more than 2 horns.
- Xerneas bears a resemblance to the Legendary Pokemon Yveltal due that it legs are a similar form and Sawsbuck due to it looks like a Deer, has similar horn except Xerneas has multiple horns that are small, that are multicolored, and that branch off like a tree.
- Xerneas resembles the Forest Spirit from Hayao Miyazaki's film, Princess Mononoke.
- Xerneas is the first legendary Fairy-type Pokémon.
- Xerneus represents life and Yveltal represents destruction.
Its name may be reference to the Celtic "Horned god", Cernunnos. Its form may be a reference to Norse mythology guardians of the Yggdrasil Tree: a bird-like creature that protects the top of the tree, this may be Yveltal, a deer-like creature that protects the soil and trunk of the tree, this may be Xerneas, and a snake-like creature that protects the underworld below the tree.

Pig hunts to be offered in Yolo County
California is home to many wild pigs, and farmers aren't happy with the damage the porkers do in their rooting for foodstuffs. Essentially, wild pigs aren't much more than four-legged plows.
Wild pigs aren't native to the state. While there are hunting clubs up and down the state that have imported exotic species such as the Russian boar, most are the old-fashioned type, domestic pigs gone wild.
In the frontier days of yore, people flocked to California. Some came in search of gold. Others, like my family, were farmers and ranchers.
Some made it. Others didn't. When those that didn't abandoned their lands, they also abandoned many of their animals. The rest is history.
To hunt any pig species in California, the Department of Fish and Game classified them as big game. While year-round hunting for them is allowed, the department requires hunters to purchase and tag the critter similarly to deer.
Pigs are lower-elevation animals and found mostly on private properties. There are nominal populations on state lands such as the nearby Spenceville Wildlife Area.
In July, the DFG secured a $500,000 federal grant to support the creation of additional public hunting and fishing opportunities through the SHARE Program (Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement).
SHARE offers incentives to private landowners who allow hunts on their property. With SHARE in place, the department is offering wild pig hunts on the Bobcat Ranch in Yolo County, located in the Vaca Mountain foothills just west of Winters.
There will be eight permit-only hunts for 64 hunters between Oct. 24 and Nov. 18.
Applications will be accepted for parties of up to two licensed hunters for the archery and general hunt periods. You can apply for every hunt, but you can only be drawn for one.
The deadline for filing an application is 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29. Additional information and the application can be found at www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/hunting/share/index.html.
Current fishing
Lake Pardee: It's a pay-to-play lake, owned and operated by the East Bay Municipal Utility District, and every year, Pardee shuts down, primarily camping and fishing. This year, the lake is slated to close at the end of the day on Sunday, Nov. 6.
As of this writing, the lake, as with many throughout the state, remains in phenomenal condition, only four feet from full. The best rod-bending action is going to be for those bobbing around in boats. The eastern side of the lake, from Sugar Bowl through the Narrows and a bit beyond Mel's Cove, is finding the best action trolling. Some troll from the mouth of the river arm and work their way up to Twin Coves and beyond.
Lake Amador: We're a month or two away from the start of the trout-planting program. It will take a rainstorm or two to drop the air and water temperatures. In the meantime, bass, crappie and bluegill are biting. With the bright moon, the nighttime bite was outstanding for those tossing Brush Hogs. If you're camping, head for the boathouse docks once the sun goes down. Worms and jigs are attracting crappie and bluegill. Float a light, though.
Local salmon: Salmon numbers are picking up, but it can still be a waiting game. Some troll; others anchor. Put a Kwikfish or any of a variety of salmon spinners in front of a salmon as they make their way up the river, and you just might get bit. But, there are definitely more triers than there are fish being netted.
Lake Berryessa: The landlocked king salmon and kokanee salmon fishing continues to be hot with some hitting 19 inches. Work the edge of the channel off Skiers Cove and around the deep points south of Skiers Cove. Smallies and largemouth are banging drop-shot Robo Worms for those working the points.
Collins Lake: While fishing for trout is considered somewhat slow, some limits are being netted and most are stringing up two or three 'bows. For the best action, head to the lower end of the lake, around the dam. If you hit the free range campground area, hit the shoreline after the sun sets. Those dunking cut bait or crawlers have been tallying good numbers of catfish to more than five pounds.
Clear Lake: The lake is famous for its summer algae blooms. This lake is just not that deep, and when the water really warms, the algae spreads like wildfire. The good news is much of the algae is now clearing. Stay around the middle section of the lake and a variety of hardware can get you bit, such as jigs and cranks in crawdad colors. It wouldn't hurt to toss a Brush Hog either.
Boca Reservoir: Unheard of this time of year, but the lake is still at 95 percent. You can get 'bows to 16 inches simply by dunking Power Bait from shore. Early mornings and just before dark will be the best fishing times.
Frenchman Lake: The lake was dropping quickly, but it's been holding in the high 80-percent level. Trolling has been slow, but shore action has been decent, especially around Lunker's Point or Crystal Point, for those soaking a crawler, salmon eggs or Power Bait.
Fort Bragg: Salmon fishing has been sporadic at best. One day, the salmon are in the region and boats find a decent bite; the next day, no fish. The only thing saving the day right now is that albacore are close. The warm water currents have moved closer, and boats only have to make maybe a 13-mile run to get into the bite. That mileage is nothing when boats in the Bay Area commonly make a two-day trip to get to the school.

Faustine Odaba
this wiki
Faustine Odaba was Head Trainer at the Solar Cookers International East Africa Office. She has since moved on to other work. When Solar Cookers International (SCI) hired Faustine Odaba as a Field Assistant in our East Africa office in 2000, she had already proven her mettle time and time again. This, in brief, is the story of Faustine and solar cooking.
In the very early 1990s, Faustine was an active member and a leader of the Amagoro Housewives Group in the Busia District of western Kenya. The group soon met up with US Peace Corps volunteer Barbara Ross, who brought with her a wooden solar box cooker obtained from Trans World Radio (TWR).
The members of the group shared the cooker, and soon learned to be expert solar cooks. They quickly realized that one solar cooker was not enough and began searching for ways to acquire more, but were unable to afford the TWR cookers. When they heard of Solar Cookers International, they contacted us for information about making low cost solar box cookers from cardboard.
After receiving basic instructions from SCI, the group followed up with several more correspondences seeking additional tips, including how to test aluminized gift wrap, which was very easily available, as a substitute for aluminum foil. (Tip: heat a small sample of the gift wrap by conventional means or in an existing solar cooker. Many aluminized gift wraps will melt. Others will hold up fine in temperatures of 300° to 400° F (150° to 200° C).)
By 1992, Faustine and her colleagues were demonstrating solar cooking at fairs, agricultural shows, markets and even along roadsides. In 1993, Faustine explained to a reporter from the Kenya Times that, "after using it in our homes, we did not want to keep this information to ourselves."
She also told the reporter that solar cookers work well for arrow root, sweet potatoes, githeri, and ugali from both cassava flour and from maize flour. The recipe she gave for ugali was "for every cup of unga, put two cups of cold water, stir it well, place it in the cooker and leave it for a while. After one and a half hours, it will be well cooked and hard. This cooker saves us time as well as having a smoke-free environment." (Note: preferences for ugali's texture apparently vary from region to region; not all people will necessarily enjoy Faustine's ugali recipe.)
In 1994, Faustine and other members of the Amagoro Housewives attended the first Kenya-wide solar cooking conference. As the only seasoned Kenyan solar cooks in attendance, they were stars of the show, overwhelming the doubts of skeptics with their first-hand experience of solar cooking success.
When SCI launched its first field project in Kakuma Refugee Camp in 1995, Faustine was there, one of three volunteers who led the initial teaching program. Faustine was also a key volunteer when SCI launched its first project for settled communities in Zimbabwe in 1996.
Again, in 1997, Faustine was deeply involved with the launching of SCI's project at the Aisha Refugee Camp in Ethiopia.
In about this same time period, Faustine began service as Field Supervisor for the Nairobi East "SOLACOOK" solar cooking program. She also continued to help out with SCI's field projects. In 1999, she distinguished herself again while on a working trip to Kakuma by helping to convince a depressed refugee to not commit suicide.
Experience, commitment and great heart! SCI is indeed proud to have Faustine Odaba as a member of our stellar East Africa team!
News and recent developments
- August 2008: With support from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund, the long anticipated "training of trainers" water testing and solar pasteurization workshop was held in June at Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu, Kenya. Participants included 20 top staff members each from the Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA) and the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation (MPHS). Solar Cookers International (SCI) staff members Margaret Owino, Faustine Odaba, Elijah Achola, Dinah Chienjo, Simon Ogutu, John Amayo and Karyn Ellis were instrumental in the success of this workshop, as was John Rimberia from Embu. Microbiologist and SCI Board President Dr. Bob Metcalf led the workshop. Topics included a review of bacterial properties and growth, pasteurization principles, use of the bacterium Escherichia coli as a contamination indicator, properties of the Colilert® and Petrifilm™ tests for E. coli, and solar pasteurization using the CooKit solar cooker and SCI's wax-based, reusable Water Pasteurization Indicator (WAPI).

Green grass in Tucson! Many (most) of the holes play short, but you can play skip a hole. Where you play off tee pad 1 to basket 2, then tee 3 to basket four and so on. You play around the park both ways. Has a few baskets with tree sentinels. No elevation shots. No bathrooms but there is water. Locals are really cool, easy going and inviting. No really exciting holes. Not bad to play when Marana is flooded, though it's way on the other side of town.

Great lines on some holes and others open up for big arms. anhyzer and hyzer. Only course in Tucson where rollers can play. Fun times. By far not my best but not terrible. Super fun here either way

|Price range
Drusilla's is an Italian restaurant owned by Pegorino capo Ray Boccino in Grand Theft Auto IV.
- "There traditions of Italy live on in this establishment just don't make any mafia jokes."
- ―GTA IV Manual Description
Drusilla's is located at the intersection of Denver Ave and Feldspar Street in Little Italy, Algonquin. The restaurant pays protection to the Ancelotti Family and is a main front of the Pegorino family Mafia. Boccino gives jobs to protagonists and hired muscle Niko Bellic and Johnny Klebitz at this restaurant. The restaurant is featured in the website www.peepthatshit.com as well as in the Grand Theft Auto IV manual. The restaurant can be visited on a date or outing with a friend.
Judging from the cutscenes, the restaraunt offers pizza, coffee and other basic italian food. The sound of water boling can be faintly heard as Niko and Ray speak in the kitchen in the opening cutscene of Museum Piece.
You can access the interior of the restaurant by accessing the FIB Buffalo cheat. The car has to appear inside the restaurant, to where you can see it through the glass. Then walk near the glass and press the enter vehicle button. You should be inside the restaurant. There is not much to see inside, however, as it is not as it appears in cutscenes, only empty space and a table. The only known workers of the restuarant are an unnamed maitre'd, an unnamed waiter and Ray Boccino. Drusilla's also features a basement seen in the The Lost and Damned mission Was It Worth It?, where Johnny and Jim are held hostage, but then escape. It is unknown who took over Drusilla's after Ray's death.
The closest subway stations to Drusilla's are in Suffolk and City Hall, served by the C/K Inner Algonquin Line.

- Abstract
- The present paper describes an ANSI C library which has been developed to facilitate the implementation and simulation of P systems on a computer. Simple data structures are proposed which permit the representation of membranes and their associated objects, and facilities are provided for implementing both "active" and "non-active" membrane systems, including actions for dissolving a membrane, dividing an existing membrane and creating a new membrane.

The honorary consulate of Mexico in Tanzania has initiated discussion with the Tanzania Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) for Tanzanian trade delegation to Mexico later this year.
Speaking to this paper in an interview recently in Dar es Salaam the newly appointed honorary consul Mohammad Reza Saboor, said he has already met with senior officials of the chamber and discussed various issues including the composition of the trade delegation.
"The delegation will meet their counterparts and see how to develop business opportunities for both countries," he said.
He noted that if things go well they will be there before end of this year.
Reza said the consulate also plans to participate for the first time at the forthcoming international trade fair to be held in Dar es Salaam at the end of June this year to enable Mexican businessmen look for investment opportunities in Tanzania.
"We have already discussed the matter with officials of the Tanzania Trade Development Authority (TanTrade) on our plan to participate fully during the fair," he said.
Apart from the trade cooperation, the consulate of Mexico in Tanzania will also offer scholarships.
He promised to cement existing ties between two countries which was initiated with introduction of the sisal plant to the country in 1893.
It made Tanga region a major exporter of the crop in the world.
Commenting on the new consulate the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Benard Membe, was quoted as saying the government would strengthen cooperation with Mexico to explore potential areas of investment in the country particularly in mining and energy.
"Trade and investment between two countries is minimal. There is a need for both countries to encourage and promote growth in these important sectors in our relations," he said.

Columbia, S.C. - LB Dantzler homered twice for the first time in his career and drove in a career-high six runs as fifth ranked South Carolina defeated Davidson 12-4 on Wednesday evening at Carolina Stadium.

Schrock, Dantzler, Martin and Joey Pankake all scored two runs apiece.
The Gamecocks had 13 hits in the contest.

Calling the city "a lively, offbeat cultural mecca on the Ohio River," the world's leading travel publisher has named Louisville its "Top U.S. Travel Destination for 2013." Lonely Planet touted hip, emerging sections of the city including the Nulu area near downtown in putting Louisville at the top of its yearly Top Ten travel destinations.
"This is a super recognition of the energy and progress in our city and of the growing economic impact of Louisville as the gateway to the Bourbon industry and tourism," said Mayor Greg Fischer. "Lonely Planet has a loyal following and a strong reputation for being an independent voice in the travel industry, so being its top pick carries a lot of weight."
Fischer said the ranking is further evidence that the city's strategy to grow the food and beverage sector – and, in particular, bourbon – is paying dividends both economically and in tourism.
"Each year we shine a light on 10 places in the U.S. that travelers should add to their wish lists for the coming year," said Lonely Planet's U.S. Travel Editor Robert Reid. "Our U.S.-based team of editors and authors compile a list of U.S. destinations that are prime for the next year and Louisville topped the list for 2013."
In praising Louisville, Lonely Planet wrote: "Bourbon reigns in Louisville. This is the traditional jump-off for the Bourbon Trail; with bourbon's current wave of popularity, new upstart micro-distilleries, including some in and around Louisville like the small-batch Angel's Envy, are giving the old names in bourbon a run for their money."
"If you haven't been to Louisville in sometime, now is the time for you to plan a visit," said Jim Wood, president & CEO of the Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau. "The city's tourism product has seen incredible growth over the last several years and 2013 will be no exception with the return of bourbon distilleries to downtown's Whiskey Row."
Lonely Planet further described Louisville as the "new Portland" citing the city's high-energy scene along Bardstown Rd. and the fast rise of the Nulu area along E. Market. Mixing perennial favorites in with the new, the publication suggests travelers time their visits to "catch the Kentucky Derby, the greatest two minutes in sports."
Founded in 1973, Lonely Planet is the world's leading travel publisher. LonelyPlanet.com receives over 12 million unique visitors to its website each month with the "Top US Destinations" list among its most read articles each year. With nearly 2 million fans and followers across social media platforms of Facebook and Twitter, Lonely Planet has a broad reach.

Chronograph wristwatches
During the post-war boom years, the practice of sport spread throughout society. Jaeger-LeCoultre's chronographs rode along on this wave and lent their elegance to the measurement of sporting prowess. 1969 saw the arrival of the Shark Chronograph with its distinctive interchangeable external bezel allowing it to metamorphose from a town watch with time zones into a diver's watch water-resistant down to 120 metres.

Welcome to the Parent-Child Center
Monday - Friday 7 a.m - 6 p.m.
Shoreline Community College
1900 Building
16101 Greenwood Ave. N
Shoreline, WA 98133

The Parent-Child Center is a childcare facility & instructional lab located on the beautiful Shoreline Community College campus. Our facility has 5 classrooms and a large outdoor play area. Children's classroom experiences are enriched by access to the college and its activities. Our primary purpose is to provide high quality care for the children of students, state employees, and community members. We are licensed by the State of Washington to serve 76 children.
Program Goals/Philosophy
Our primary goal is to facilitate the growth of strong, nurturing families and healthy, thriving children. We believe children are motivated to learn, and parents and teachers can work together to facilitate this process. We support parents by providing Parent Education classes and incorporating parents into classroom activities. We create an environment where parents and children feel safe, nurtured, and respected.
Parents are required to enroll in a 1 credit online Parent Education course once per year while their child is enrolled. The Center also serves as an instructional laboratory where community college students can do observations and internships.
Ages served
We serve children ages 6 weeks through 5 years, or until they enter kindergarten. We are currently not licensed to take school-aged children.
The PCC is committed to providing healthy meals and snacks to children. We serve as many fresh foods as we can and limit foods with preservatives and added sugar. We do not serve any red meat or pork. The PCC does not charge a separate fee for meals. We receive a partial reimbursement for meals served from the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), based on the number of low-income children served. We serve breakfast, lunch and two snacks daily. Sample Menu
Sun Safety
The PCC is committed to sun safety awareness and is a "SunWise" center. In areas like ours, that are often cloudy, melanoma occurs as often (among the highest in the state) as in sunnier regions. In fact, it has the fifth highest melanoma incidence rate. Check out the daily UV Index by entering your zip code in the box to the right.
We are closed for ten state holidays (New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas) and 6 teacher training/prep days each year. View the Calendar
Non-discrimination policy
It is the policy of this child care center that no person shall be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, marital status, disabled or Vietnam era veteran status, or the presence of any physical, mental, or sensory handicap.

Advanced Style Trend: Bold Lipstick
When I asked her about what inspires her look, including her bold lipstick choice she replied, " the 1940's"
Looking back on some of my favorite shots, I noticed that many of the "advanced in style" favor a similarly adventurous choice in lipstick. This throwback to the 1940's is a glamorous addition to an already spirited look. Check out some more examples below:

The Five Kage Summit (五影会談, Gokage Kaidan, Literally meaning: Five Shadow Summit) is a meeting where the Kage from the Five Great Shinobi Countries meet to discuss matters affecting their respective countries and the world at large. The meeting can be convened by any of the Kage, and a location selected for where they will convene. Each Kage are allowed up to two bodyguards to accompany them at this meeting.
The first ever meeting of the five Kage was convened by Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage, to discuss the formation of the hidden villages and to sign a memorandum that would work in favour of the progress and prosperity of their people. Present at this meeting along with Hashirama was the First Raikage, First Tsuchikage, First Mizukage, and First Kazekage. Accompanying them to the meeting was Tobirama Senju, the incumbent Second Raikage, Mū, an unknown Kirigakure-nin, and the incumbent Second Kazekage. In an attempt to balance the power between the villages and as a sign of goodwill, Konohagakure intended to distribute the tailed beast which Hashirama had captured. The First Kazekage, however, noted that Sunagakure already had a tailed beast within their possession and instead asked for an alternative payment of a portion of the fertile land of Konoha, their closest neighbour, and 30% of the asking price for the tailed beast that the other nations would pay. Outraged at this to the point of threatening war against Sunagakure, Hashirama was able to quell their rage through honestly speaking of his hopes for the future of the shinobi.[1] Unfortunately, the peace did not last and competition between the villages eventually led to the First Shinobi World War.
Since then, it is unknown how many other meetings of the current Kage was convened by most recently in response to the threat of Akatsuki who had been working on capturing the nine tailed beasts or their jinchūriki. At the start of Part II, Akatsuki had captured two tailed beasts and progressively worked their way through capturing the others. When it appeared that the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki Killer B had also been captured, the Fourth Raikage A convened the Summit to be held in the neutral Land of Iron. Accompanying A were his bodyguards Darui and C. Also in attendance was the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki with his bodyguards Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumī with her bodyguards Ao and Chōjūrō, the Fifth Kazekage Gaara with his bodyguards Temari and Kankurō and finally the Candidate Sixth Hokage Danzō Shimura and his companions Fū and Torune. Though this meeting turned into a fiasco with battles breaking out at the Summit due to Akatsuki's invasion, it culminated in Madara Uchiha declaring the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Kage were able to band together and decided to form the Allied Shinobi Forces in order to stop this threat once and for all.

Land use and terrain
On the west side of the neighborhood is Fortside's most urban area, dominated by high rise buildings (the apartment projects east of San Quentin Avenue and south of the elevated train tracks, spanning from Fortside into neighboring South Bohan), as well as its industrial sector north of the tracks and a small promenade along the water's edge.
East of San Quentin Avenue, the housing stock changes from tall, public housing apartments to smaller, private duplexes and townhouses, often set flush to the sidewalk. The apartments on the Grand Boulevard are often taller. Folsom Way, which runs through the heart of Fortside, provides access to many groceries, laundromats, and other small, independent businesses. For Bohan shoppers looking to purchase new goods without leaving the borough, Fortside is likely the first place they visit due to the number of businesses present in the neighborhood representative of Fordham Road in Bronx.
Folsom Way is the primary thoroughfare street through Fortside.
The Liberty City Subway has a stop in Fortside along San Quentin Avneue between Drop and Applejack Streets. The station is served by the B/E Bohan Line at all times, offering quick access to Algonquin. A police precinct is located at Mill Street and Applejack Street, just a short walk from the San Quentin Avenue train station.
Fortside is most likely based on the Bronx, New York's Fordham and Tremont neighborhoods.

6. Get Fueled
Fueling your new activity is very important. Timing is key. It's a good rule of thumb to eat about 200 to 400 calories of mostly complex carbs and a little protein about 1.5 hours prior to your run. This will give your body time to digest the food and provide your body with the needed energy for your activity. Not eating or not eating enough before your run can make your run feel labored or cause your muscles to feel fatigued. Eating too soon can sometimes cause stomach issues.
Digestion usually stops or slows dramatically when you run, so if you eat just before running, then all the food will just sit there. It will go nowhere and do little to provide you with little energy. What works best for your pre-run snack will vary from runner to runner, but some foods to try include yogurt with granola, an English muffin with peanut butter, or half a peanut butter sandwich and a banana. Post-run refueling is important too. Eating a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein within 30 to 45 minutes after a run is optimal timing to provide your tired muscles with the fuel they need to rebuild quickly. Lowfat chocolate milk actually has the 4:1 ratio.
7. Get Hydrated
Being well-hydrated is just as important as being well fueled. Be sure to drink about 20 oz. of water about two hours prior to running. This will give it time to pass through your system and be voided before your run. During your run, drinking water is fine. Once you're running more than 45 to 60 minutes, you'll need to switch to a sports drink to help replace vital electrolytes which are minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus) that play a major role in helping to maintain proper water balance in your body. Electrolytes can be lost though your perspiration. Sports drinks such as Gatorade contain these important minerals.
8. Get Warmed-Up
Before you head out on your run, be sure to warm-up your muscles with a dynamic stretch. A five-minute walk is a great way to do this. This will help decrease the chance of your muscles feeling tight during your run. Save the traditional stretch-and-hold stretches for after your run.
9. Get In Tune With Your BodyListen to your body. If you're feeling something other than regular workout-related muscle soreness, don't run. Running through the pain is never a good idea. If you're experiencing pain along your shin,hip, IT Band or any area of the body that's beyond normal muscle soreness, ice it, elevate it, and use your normal choice of anti-inflammatory medication and rest. When you no longer feel any pain, ease back into your running. If the pain persists, don't let it linger. Go see your doctor.
10. Get Rest
Rest is just as important as your workout. Rest allows your body time to rebuild and recover. When you run or do any type of exercise, you actually create little micro tears in the muscle tissue. Your body then rushes in to rebuild and repair the tears. This is the normal muscle-building process that makes you stronger. However, if you don't take the proper rest, your body may not have time to fully repair before your next run causing you to feel sore, tired, and sluggish. When you first start your beginning running program, it's a good idea to have at least one day of rest in between runs.

This is a template that is used as part of the Installation instructions which covers: the process of installing the Stage3 tarball. Templates are being used to allow multiple variant install guides that use most of the same re-usable parts.
Installing the Stage 3 tarball
After creating filesystems, the next step is downloading the initial Stage 3 tarball. The Stage 3 is a pre-compiled system used as a starting point to install Funtoo Linux. Load one of the following URLs in another browser window:
- http://build.funtoo.org - Master mirror
- http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo - US Funtoo Linux Mirror
- http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/funtoo -European Funtoo Linux mirror
Now, let's navigate the directories on the mirrors to find the appropriate build of Funtoo Linux for you.
Which Build?
If you're not sure, pick
Funtoo Linux has various different 'builds', or variants. Here is a list of the various builds that are available, and what their distinctive features are:
|The most commonly-selected build of Funtoo Linux. Receives rapid updates and preferred by desktop users.
|Same package set as
funtoo-current, but with a hardened, exploit-resistant toolchain.
|Emphasizes less-frequent package updates and trusted, reliable versions of packages over the latest versions.
If you want to read more about this, have a look at Differences between stable, current and experimental.
What Architecture?
If you're not sure, pick
x86-64bit, or possibly
pure64 for server systems.
For PC-compatible systems, the following choices are available:
|For modern 64-bit processors. Uses new 64-bit instructions and address space. Maintains 32-bit compatibility with multilib.
|For modern 64-bit processors but with no support for 64-bit compatibility.
|For older 32-bit systems such as Athlon XP, Pentium 4, or earlier Atom.
Your SubArch
/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/ on one of our mirrors, you'll see a bunch of directories for various subarches of Funtoo Linux. Subarches are builds of Funtoo Linux that are designed to run on a particular type of CPU, to offer the best possible performance. They also take advantage of the instruction sets available for each CPU.
If you are using an AMD-based CPU, download a stage3 from
amd64-steamroller or
amd64-jaguar. See Subarches for help figuring out what AMD subarch is best for you.
If you are using an Intel-based CPU, download a stage3 from
core2_64 or
corei7. Note that
corei7 is ideal for any modern Intel processor, including Core i3 and Core i5, and many Xeons.
If you are using a 32-bit CPU, download a stage3 from
atom_32 or
Setting the Date
If your system's date and time are too far off (typically by months or years,) then it may prevent Portage from properly downloading source tarballs. This is because some of our sources are downloaded via HTTPS, which use SSL certificates and are marked with an activation and expiration date. However, if you system time is relatively close to correct, you can probably skip this step for now.
Now is a good time to verify the date and time are correctly set to UTC. Use the
date command to verify the date and time:
# date
Fri Jul 15 19:47:18 UTC 2011
If the date and/or time need to be corrected, do so using
date MMDDhhmmYYYY, keeping in mind
hhmm are in 24-hour format. The example below changes the date and time to "July 16th, 2011 @ 8:00PM" UTC:
# date 071620002011
Fri Jul 16 20:00:00 UTC 2011
Download the Stage3
Once you are in your Funtoo Linux root filesystem, use
wget to download the Stage 3 tarball you have chosen to use as the basis for your new Funtoo Linux system. It should be saved to the
/mnt/funtoo directory as follows:
# cd /mnt/funtoo # wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/generic_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz
Note that 64-bit systems can run 32-bit or 64-bit stages, but 32-bit systems can only run 32-bit stages. Make sure that you select a Stage 3 build that is appropriate for your CPU. If you are not certain, it is a safe bet to choose the
generic_64 or
generic_32 stage. Consult the Download page for more information.
Once the stage is downloaded, extract the contents with the following command, substituting in the actual name of your stage 3 tarball:
# tar xpf stage3-latest.tar.xz
It is very important to use
tar's "
p" option when extracting the Stage 3 tarball - it tells
tar to preserve any permissions and ownership that exist within the archive. Without this option, your Funtoo Linux filesystem permissions will be incorrect.

Bicycles in London modelling contest run and won
MP Emily Thornberry, eBourbaki founder Eliana Hechter, and contest winners Peter Eccles, Tom Hudson, and Ryan Lothian.
eBourbaki has announced the winners of its 2008 Bicycles in London mathematical modelling competition. The contest took place in early May, and students were asked to model a network of low-cost rental bicycles for the City of London. Students were able to explain mathematically why some schemes in Europe have succeeded while others have failed. For more information on the contest, see our story on the Plus blog
The winning team was presented with a check for £1000 by Emily Thornberry MP, head of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cycling.
The winning team included:
The winning team created two mathematical models. The first described commuter flow based on publicly available data from Transport for London. They recommend that 12 large bicycle stations be placed near rail stations in Central London together with a network of 250 smaller stations distributed throughout the West End, the City of London, and the area in between. The second model focused on the estimated use of a network of 50 stations in the proposed configuration to determine the number of bicycles appropriate for these stations. Ultimately, the team proposed an average of twenty bicycles at a small station.
eBourbaki director Eliana Hechter said, "The winning team created a mathematical model that could serve to help the City of London construct a network of rental bicycles that serves commuters most efficiently. Mathematical modelling is a way of 'testing the system' to be confident that the system, once instituted, will actually work effectively. We hope the City will work with the winners and consider using their programs in the network design."
eBourbaki organizes mathematics modelling contests for students of mathematics, computer science, and engineering around the world to provide solutions to optimization problems, addressing some of today's greatest public goods issues. The policy implications of this contest are great and the results have been forwarded to Transport for London. The Bicycles in London contest followed the successful Shade in Phoenix contest in conjunction with the City Planning Department of the City of Phoenix, Arizona.
eBourbaki's next contest will involve predicting the results of the next U.S. presidential election this October. We'd all like to know that result.

Global war death toll should be tripled
The death toll from wars around the globe in the second half of the twentieth century should be increased by a factor of three, according to a recent mathematical study by Ziad Obermeyer and colleagues at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle, Washington.
Estimating a war death toll is usually done by a mixture of eyewitness reports and media coverage. This involves extrapolating large numbers from sketchy data — read more about how this is done in the Plus article Body count.
Uppsala University in Sweden, and the Peace Research Institute in Norway, both keep death toll records estimated from media coverage, but Obermeyer's study suggests that the recorded death toll for 20th century wars could have been up to three times higher than they record.
The researchers looked at the death toll estimates gathered by the World Health Organization (WHO) — these numbers are extrapolated from telephone interviews with individuals with family members who may have died. This method is considered to be more accurate than gathering information from media reports.
In most cases, the WHO surveys recorded much higher numbers of dead than the Norwegian and Swedish databases. For example, the WHO figures suggest that more than twice the number of people died in Vietnam than previously thought — currently recorded at two million. On average, across 12 countries, the WHO figures are three times bigger. If true, then the average annual death toll for wars between 1985 and 1994 was 378,000.
During the 50 years covered by the study, Obermeyer suggests that there were 269,000 deaths in Bangladesh and 141,000 in Zimbabwe — nearly five times more than previously thought — and conflicts in Sri Lanka, Bosnia, Georgia and Laos are also estimated to be more costly than previously thought. However, in other countries, such as Burma, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Namibia and The Philippines, the death tolls dropped.
The study also found that a controversial report in 2006, which estimated the death toll after the invasion of Iraq at 655,000, may have been an over-estimate. You can read more about this study in the Plus article Body count. Obermeyer revises this number down to 184,000.
One downside of the study is that it only counts conflict fatalities and not deaths that have arisen from infectious diseases, which often afflict poor countries after war.

No matter how many friends you have on Facebook and MySpace, you won't have more real-life friends than the average person. Using mathematics to model online social networks is an evolving field, with techniques that have been used to model human interaction, such as network modelling, moving into the online world. Users of online social networks tend to build up long lists of "friends" with whom they only occasionally interact, if at all. Given that we can maintain more weak relationships online than we can in real-life, it is an interesting question to ask whether or not online social networks create as many close friendships as in real life. According to Will Reader of Sheffield Hallam University, the answer is no, and in this there is an interesting scientific and social point to be found.

Issue 47 of Plus is our biggest issue ever and a mathematical showcase! Not only are we bringing you the best young writing talent with the winners of the Plus new writers award, but we are overloaded with features about the ways maths influences and shapes our lives. We investigate the overlap between the arts and maths, find out why mathematicians are always portrayed as mad in the movies, and learn about the nature of infinity and of prime numbers. We also challenge 118118 with some mathematics, uncover the mathematics of surprise and respond to recent newspaper reports that maths is no longer relevant. There are also all our usual puzzle and teacher package.
And if you want to give you eyes a break, tune your ears into our podcast, with 3 new episodes out today.
