You are going to want to sail through the big circle in the name. You'll have to launch from something slanted and you'll need a lot of speed. I was stuck here for a half an hour or so myself
On April 18, 2011 at 9:44 pm
I'm stuck in the dark hallway in the part immediately after the Futurama-esque tube ride.
On April 19, 2011 at 12:24 am
I am stuck on ********s Puzzle number 16, I can't figure out for the life of me how to hit the button that is guarded by three turrets. Even the Developer Commentary is unhelpful on how to get around that puzzle. If you want just email me at username then gmail dot com It is very perplexing and the fact that I have been playing it since Friday doesn't help any :'( It is on the 360 version if that helps any.
On April 19, 2011 at 12:53 am
Thanks Jake, I've had the game for around 1 week before release for review purposes on my gaming website and couldn't get off that stage. Now the point after where I exit lift I'm stuck, this bloody game is annoying haha!!
On April 19, 2011 at 11:45 am
im stuck on test chamber 4 coop with my friend were on the 4th test in the 4th test chamber. Anyone know how to do it?
On April 19, 2011 at 12:54 pm
NP Steve. Yeah, you are definitely at the part where every puzzle is gonna be pretty hard. I'm a little bit ahead of you and it has been slow going getting there. It's a lot of fun though and I feel like a genius when I finally figure something out!
On April 19, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Same here. It's right after the puzzle with the orange portal pit where you have to launch yourself to get a cube then launch your self to get the cube to a switch and then launch yourself onto the cube platform. After going through the tube, I'm stuck in an absolutely dark area that as far asI can tell is a small dark box. Every 10 seconds or so the screen flickers with light for about .5 seconds. I do not like this part, and want to get on with the game, how do i get past this? It's lame. X(
On April 19, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Up until the escape, you just need to enter the elevator to complete the levels, same as Portal 1.
On April 19, 2011 at 11:17 pm
You sir are a life saver!
I was stuck on this one for who knows how long…
On April 20, 2011 at 4:02 am

Me and my brother are stuck in 1 or two level later than the last level wich is shown by the vid's. It seem to be the last level. Will the vids be updated? We really don't know how to solve this level.
On April 22, 2011 at 12:09 pm
Hey guys –
All the co-op videos are now live. Hope that helps.
We've also got new chapters coming in the single-player walkthrough really soon — like as soon as we can manage to get them ready to go. We'll let you know here when they go live.
On April 24, 2011 at 6:21 am
How do you even smash/crush/destroy the 11 monitors? I beat the game on Thursday and I'm just trying to wrap up that last NON co-op achievement.
On April 25, 2011 at 8:13 am
this game is amazing and fun. the single player ia awesome, non of the puzzle had me stumped for more then 15 minutes. and the co op you can do by yourself with another profile and controller, except for the last 2 or 3 in the last set of challenges in multiplayer. fun fun fun
On April 25, 2011 at 1:57 pm
@parker – we're currently working on some achievement walkthrough videos that will outline stuff such as the monitors. That should be done pretty soon here — I'll drop a comment to let you know when it's completed and we get it updated. Until then, we've got more Achievement/Trophy guide-type stuff at http://gamefront.com/portal-2-trophies and http://gamefront.com/portal-2-achievements. Our guys are going as fast as they can trying to get this stuff up for everybody — we know how much you want it.
On May 6, 2011 at 1:09 pm
This was so much fun! Wow, I enjoyed this game immensely!
Thank you for the helpful walkthrough I figured most things by myself, but it helped me with the trickier puzzles
On May 21, 2011 at 9:17 am
wow…finally it..what a game..thanx a lot for the vids..without some of them it would hav taken me ages to finish
On May 31, 2011 at 9:01 am
Amazing game…. i love it!! so much fun!! thnx for the walkthrough… it really squeezed my brain without the videos!!!
waiting for portal 3!!!
On June 18, 2011 at 11:12 am
Fun game.
I have a quest, since I don't know, what I found. Maybe nothing, but.
If you look at the video Chapter 02,07 You'll see Wheatley after blocking the ray with the cube. A panel opens and I picked him up. I wonder if there is someting here. This is where the "Emancipation grill" is broken. And I carried him into the exit. Nothing happened, but I already had the achievement.
On June 19, 2011 at 3:41 am
gamefront is a great and nice and simple site to get walkthroughs….
On June 30, 2011 at 5:37 am
Husband and I are stuck in a level where it's all one big outside square with water underneath it…with separate portal walls all the way around the squares…hard light surface is usable but we can not figure out how to get to the exit witch is slightly above the portal areas.
On July 11, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Damn!!!! I'm stuck in this huge place. Chapter 6 right after the part wher you use portals to put the blue goo drops on the wall! I've tried everything, just keep failing or falling in the water, HELP!!!???
On July 21, 2011 at 7:53 am
I am stuck at the final of chapter 7, when the hatch goes open and a kind of elevator is going down:
116:A lift type contraption will lower itself out of the hatch in the ceiling. Get to it and get inside.
I am trapped in the control room and I can't jump over the railing !!!!
On July 25, 2011 at 1:40 pm
You don't need to jump over the railings. Jump through the window, or rather, where the window used to be. Took me almost 15 minutes to figure that out. XD
On October 7, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Got this yesterday and now stuck in the neurotoxin control room.
Thought I needed to direct the laser as per 33/34 above but couldn't create a portal in the moving panels?
Thought I was missing something but after reading this I'm thinking bug? Any suggestions??
On October 8, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Ok, got passed the neurotoxin room. You really do need to create the blue portal first outside, otherwise you appear to need to restart the level. Restarting the game/reloading a saved level didn't help – rerunning the level from the start worked fine.
On October 29, 2011 at 6:43 pm
On December 25, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Hey! thankyou so much for the walkthrough, its been a great help, although im stuck at chapter 7, #105, no matter how hard I try, I cant manage to hit the surface behind that grate with a portal! any ideas?
On August 17, 2012 at 3:53 pm
I'm having -major- issues with the Crab cubes.. they keep falling through the funnels for me. either their wight has been incressed or it's an issue of "state" cuz they drop each time they shift from legs out/in. I can't get the Master Funnel achevement and I think porting in a normal cube to complete chamber 3 as the crab cube kept falling through the funnel on the other side, may have glitched the game so it doesn't think I beat it even though I have. my friend said spawning a cube shouldn't disqualify achievements or progression cuz the normal cubes work fine.. crab cubes.. not so much. I spent an hour trying to do chamber 3 and hour when it should taken only moments. I made sure to place the funnle in the right spot but no. crab cube would either get pushed away to the side of the funnel or go in then drop through it only few seconds latter.. any ideas?
On September 29, 2012 at 11:34 am
one of your videos is broken. the 5th one down to be more specific
On December 17, 2013 at 10:55 pm
Its great

May 6, 2016
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Junior left-hander Kent Emanuel opened the Diamond Heels season in impressive fashion Friday afternoon as he shut out Seton Hall in a 1-0 North Carolina win.
Emanuel surrendered just four hits on the afternoon as he became the first Tar Heel since 1967 to throw a season-opening shutout. The Woodstock, Ga., native struck out five batters and did not issue a walk in leading the top-ranked Tar Heels to the 1-0 win.
The Tar Heels were able to scratch out a run against Seton Hall right-hander Jon Prosinski in the sixth inning, the only blemish on the senior's final line.
Carolina had been held in check the first time through the lineup before freshman Skye Bolt opened the bottom of the sixth with a leadoff single through the right side.
Junior Brian Holberton battled Prosinski through a good at bat before drawing a walk and making Bolt the first player on either team to reach second base on the day. Junior catcher Matt Roberts moved the pair into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and flipped the lineup over for Chaz Frank.
Frank fell behind 1-2 in the count before hitting a shallow fly to center field. Bolt tagged up from third and slid in just under the throw from center fielder Zack Granite.
The Pirates threatened against Emanuel in the final two frames but the southpaw was able to escape danger. Scott Kalamar opened the eighth with a single through the middle and moved into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt off the bat of Kyle Grimm.
Emanuel was able to corral a comebacker for out number two before getting Dillon Hamlin swinging to end the frame.
Another leadoff single opened the final frame, and a dropped throw on a sacrifice bunt attempt put two on with nobody out in the ninth for Seton Hall.
A sacrifice bunt moved the go-ahead run into scoring position to put the pressure on the Tar Heels. Emanuel was able to strike out Giuseppe Papaccio looking for the second out of the inning.
Sal Annunziata hit a high chopper back to the mound but Emanuel was able to make a leaping grab and a throw to first to seal the game away.
Bolt finished his collegiate debut with a pair of singles, while Parks Jordan and Michael Russell each added a single.
The Tar Heels and Pirates are set to square off again on Saturday with first pitch tentatively scheduled for 2 p.m.

3 Growing Bank Stocks for Black Friday
TheStreet) -- It's time for bank stock investors to look beyond the "cheap" and add some higher quality names to their portfolios. Some of the best bank stock money makers this year have been the names that were so lousy last year, and they still haven't made up what they lost.Bank of America (BAC - Get Report) is a great example, and, of course, a favorite punching bag. The company's shares were up 76% year-to-date as of Wednesday's close at $9.77, which is, of course, quite impressive. However, this year's stellar performance follows a 58% decline during 2011. The shares are actually down 26% since the end of 2010, and are down 74% over the past five years. Bank of America's shares trade for just Bank of America's shares trade for a low 0.7 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $13.48, and for 10 times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of 97 cents a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $1.27. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher Mutascio on Monday upgraded the shares to a "Buy" rating, saying that because of cost cuts, Bank of America will see much greater earnings growth in 2014 than the other money center banks. Another high flyer among stocks of the largest U.S. banks is Regions Financial (RF - Get Report) of Birmingham, Ala., with shares returning 54% year-to-date through Wednesday's close at $6.58. This year's recovery -- during a year of transition with Regions selling its Morgan Keegan subsidiary in the first quarter followed by a common equity raise and exit from the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) in the second quarter -- follows a 38% decline for the stock in 2011. Shares of Regions are down 5% since the end of 2010, with a negative five-year total return of 68%. Shares Regions trade for 0.9 times their reported Sept. 30 tangible book value of $7.02, and for nine times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of 77 cents. The consensus 2014 EPS estimate is 82 cents. Following the next round of Federal Reserve stress tests during the first quarter, long-suffering investors will be looking for a return of capital from the company. Credit Suisse analyst Craig Siegenthaler on Nov. 14 estimated that Regions will be approved by the Fed to raise its quarterly dividend to four cents from once cent, and to buy back $249 million worth of shares during 2013." Bank of America and Regions have been winding down certain areas of their business over the past few years, as they have navigated the credit crisis, and now face the industry-wide challenges of narrowing net interest margins and weak loan demand. Both trade at relatively low multiples, and may well see another year of outstanding returns next year. But bottom-fishing isn't for every investor. The three growing regional names that we profile below have seen positive total returns year-to-date, and for five years, through Wednesday's close. All have been steady earners and all are well-positioned for the difficult rate environment, with strong loan growth and two have strong or growing fee revenue. These names also trade at significantly higher valuations than Bank of America and Regions, however, you must pay a premium to own a growing business that is also growing earnings, and these names appear to have significantly lower downside than many of the big names, if the U.S. economy slips back into recession. Here are the three growing bank stocks for Black Friday, in order of ascending total assets:NEW YORK (

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Laos is a global superpower located in Southeast Asia. The Laotians have been a dominant force in every major military battle for the last 2500 years. Using first their tactical advantage with Gyno Pachyderm Menst-Titans (Giant Enraged Menstruating she Elephants) and later their superiority in Land Frigate technology, they have been the deciding factor in every world conflict in all of modern recorded history.
Ancient History
Pre History
The Laotians have always been known as an unruly bunch. Often affectionately referred to as "The Irish of Asia" (although not where they can hear). Their propensity for fighting was legendary long before China's great dynasties. Legend goes that one day in the travelers market a visitor from Hunan bet a Laotian 20 keks that he couldn't kick the shit outta another visitor from Nanzhao (a business rival in the burgeoning Hintai Lithograph trade). The Laotian soundly defeated the Nanzhao, took his money, got his 20 keks, then kicked the shit outta the Hunan, and took his money as well. That night at the local pub he uttered the famous quote that would change Laos forever: "We've been kicking the shit out of people for free when there are crazy foreigners willing to pay us to kick the shit outta them!"
The Exodus
Within months, there were millions of Laotians in neighboring countries offering their services as professional ass kickers. Nearby countries soon learned that not hiring them would leave millions of jobless Laotians in their streets all ready to deliver some serious whoop ass. One can imagine the inevitable results. This led to some of Laos' most humorous slogan apparel shirts, like:
- "I kicked the shit outta Hunan, and all I got was this lousy shirt"
- "I kicked the shit outta Myanmar, and all I got was a British National
- "I kicked the shit outta Vietnam, and all I got was some black pajamas"
- "I kicked the shit outta Cambodia, and all I got was some torture postcards"
- "I kicked the shit outta Thailand, and all I got was the crabs"
The Laotian Uber Men
Adjacent nations soon learned the best way of dealing with the problem was to hire one half of the visiting Laotians to the kick the shit outta the other half (something they had been doing for free for 10,000 years). At first this worked well with few survivors, and thus little money to pay. This plan worked for thousands of years, however it eventually created a race of Laotian ass kicking super men.
The Mongols
Things continued this way for some time until the Mongols showed up from the far north. In many respects the Mongols were much like the Laotians especially in their mutual love of ass kicking. The one notable difference however was that the Mongols had to travel thousands of miles to Heilongjiang, or Gansu for a decent fight, which led them to first kick the shit outta horses and then ride them into China for some serious rest and relaxation (raping and pillaging). The Mongols saw a kindred spirit in the Laotians and enjoyed their company so much that in the off season, when they weren't kicking the shit outta China, East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Western Europe, and Wales, they retired to Laos for 'fun time'.
The Pussy Mongols Leave
The Laotians gained a lot from this interplay, the foremost of which was the love of technology and new techniques of ass kicking. Also the Laotians learned that while kicking ass was fun, drunkenness, rapine, and pillaging had their merits as well. Together they formed SEAMAKS (the South East Asian Mutual Ass Kicking Society). It was around this time that the Laotians, inspired by the ass kicking qualities of a man on horseback (often wielding a former opponents genitals as a club), invented the Gyno Pachyderm Menst-Titan (Giant Enraged Menstruating she Elephant). Although not as fast or mobile as a horse, it was generally agreed to be the most ass kickingest machine ever invented to date. This caused a schism in the vacationing Mongol community. Some were quoted as saying, "No fair you cheated!", while others were said to have uttered, "That's the shiznet baby!". So the horse Mongols left and returned to Mongolia, where they later learned the joys of vitamin A deficiency. The non-pussy Mongols stayed and intermarried thus adding even more ass kicking goodness into the already potent Laotian stock.
Getting Serious About Ass Kicking
Since the formation of SEAMAKS the Laotians had been leaving their neighbors alone for a while. This abruptly ended with the departure of the 'phallequines' (horse fuckers) and under the leadership of King Pho "The Raging Mongol" Khun Ramkhamhaeng (aka Orange Chicken) they set about forming 'housewarming' parties for all adjacent lands. Wrote one Lao, "If kicking the shit outta your neighbor is fun, then kicking the shit outta your neighbor, taking his money, his women, and his land is more fun."
Laotian Imperialism
Eventually (because She Elephants with PMS walk so damn slow) the Laotian Empire stretched from Glastonbury to Yakutsk, and from Finland to Swaziland. The Laotians soon learned however that they were not well suited for empire building. For while kicking the shit outta people was fun as hell, roughing them up now and then for taxes was totally weak and boring. So under the leadership of Fa "Move or I'll Smash Your Face With My She Elephant" Ngum (aka Broccoli Beef), Laos made a collective decision to abandon empire building in favor of random acts of violence and mercenary work. One notable artifact of this period in history was a growing love of all things nautical by the Laotians, (while being utterly inept at sailing, and living in a land locked country). Wrote Broccoli Beef, "We can conquer all men everywhere, but Laos will never be complete until we have kicked the shit outta the ocean."
Modern History
Laotian Mercenaries
Thus did the Laos people finally come to terms with their true path to happiness; mercenary work. While invading a neighbor was good for laughs and chuckles (or like Vietnam and Cambodia, good for a day at the beach), the only effective way of ensuring near 100% ass kicking uptime was to become mercenaries for hire. Kung Pao Chicken summed it up best when we stated, "Someone is always fighting somewhere and they aren't letting us join or paying us shit." Thus was formed the Laotian Association of Mercenaries, Brawlers, Counter-Insurgents, Hit-Men, Ombudsman, and Phellatists. (LAMBCHOP). LAMBCHOP has been the deciding force in EVERY battle for over 2500 years now.
The Laotians under LAMBCHOP continued to rent their services out to the side with the most gold, beer, and whores, but they never lost their peculiar love of the ocean acquired from their former Empire days. Such organizations as the Vientiane Royal Yacht Club, the Luang Phrabang Kayak and Rugby Association, the Savannakhet Deep Ocean Swim Team, and the Pakse College of Naval Warfare all served to reinforce this phallameric sentiment. It was around the 1500's that some enterprising Laotians decided to do something about it. They built ships according to specifications from Portugal, and then added giant wheels. Finally some war elephants were added on treadmills below decks and thus was made the first Laotian Land Yacht. For a while it was hit or miss. Such designs as the Land Laundry Barge, or the Land Luxury Liner were tossed, but eventually was perfected the mighty Laotian Land Frigate. Other nations scoffed at this unique manifestation of Naval Warfare, often calling the Laotians 'Boat People'. This usually lasted until the Laos showed up with their mighty armada of Land Frigates, full of angry (sober) Laotians, and fully armed with elephant shit cannons.
It should be noted that the Laotians only rode in Land Frigates to get from place to place, usually considering it too British (pussy like) to hide inside during battle. This may seem like an unsound tactic, but most opposing forces expected them to hide inside and thus were usually taken unawares when the main Lao host would come up from behind and bugger them in the wazoo.
Laotian War Ingenuity
With the exception of Gyno Pachyderm Menst-Titans, and Land Frigates the Laotians were not known for many original inventions. However they are known for taking the inventions of other cultures and improving them. Such Laotian improvements to common inventions include:
- Dynachucks
- Mach 3 triple bladed katana
- Throwing star shotgun
- Genital magnifying glass (psychological warfare device)
- Elephant shit cannon
- Starving rabid squirrel musket
- Lao-Fire (like Greek fire, but lasts longer so you can cook kabobs on it)
- Khaen (Based on caning from Thailand, the Lao-Khaen was thicker and made with aerodynamic holes for better whack force. Unlike a pussy Thai-caning when a Lao Khaened you, you fucking stayed Khaened.)
Laos can be divided into various subgroups of the original Lao-Mongol uber-kreigers based roughly on where they like to kick the shit outta people the most. These include:
- Lao ("Kicking the shit outta you on the plains")
- Hmong Yao, Dan, and Shan ("Kicking the shit outta you in the hills")
- Lao Thung ("Kicking the shit outta you in the foothills")
- Lao Sung ("Kicking the shit outta you on the mountaintops")
The national dance of Laos is the Mekong Hula.
- Laotians discover the fun of mercenary work.
- Laos invents the Gyno Pachyderm Menst-Titans (Giant Enraged Menstruating she Elephants)
- Laos conquers the known world, then gets bored and goes home.
- LAMBCHOP (Laotian Association of Mercenaries, Brawlers, Counter-Insurgents, Hit-Men, Ombudsman, and Phellatists) is formed for shits and giggles.
- 1200bc Trojan War. LAMBCHOP comes upon an untenable siege between the Trojans (inside) and the Spartans (outside). While the Spartans were dicking around with ghey horse statues, LAMBCHOP makes a ramp of Elephant shit up the walls (back way) and sacks the city.
- 431bc Peloponnesian War. LAMBCHOP generally annoyed by the word 'Peloponnesian', kicks the shit outta them, the Greeks, the Athenians and anyone else nearby. The side that got the least ass kicking is declared the 'winner'.
- 334bc Alexander The Great decides to 'conquer the known world', so naturally he consults LAMBCHOP. The Laotians reportedly replied, "Been there. Done that, but worth another go if you buy the beer" and the rest is history.
- 73bc Having met Spartacus at a pub, LAMBCHOP decides it would be fun to kick the shit outta Rome with some former gladiators.
- 0 LAMBCHOP takes a break to watch the Romans crucify some nameless Jew. One LAMBCHOP member is quoted as saying, "If you'd had a fucking elephant you wouldn't be up there now, would ya?!"
- 132 Third Jewish-Roman War. Romans bid nothing, the Jews try to bargain the LAMBCHOP merc fee down further, you can guess how that turned out.
- 533 For a fee LAMBCHOP gives hands on instructions to the Vandals tribe in the fine art of breaking and defacing things. The Vandals use this new found skill to good effect from Germany to North Africa.
- 1096-1291 The Crusades. After learning that the Saracens forbid all alcohol LAMBCHOP joins the Christians in the various crusades at a reduced fee on general principles. At the same time LAMBCHOP was also helping to drive the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula for the same reduced fee. It should be noted that every battle the Christians lost was because LAMBCHOP was currently fighting on the other front.
- 1223 LAMBCHOP joins their kin and buddies for the Mongol invasion of Russia, in Laos this is often referred to as, Scotchtoberfest.
- 1337-1453 Hundred Years War. Made infamous in the Lao song, "We're gonna party like it's 1399!" LAMBCHOP supported both sides at various times depending on which unsacked cities had the best supply of beer and whores.
- 1500 Laos invents the dreaded Land Frigate.
- 1520-1700 Having heard there was good cervesa and fresh virgins in the new world LAMBCHOP helps the Spanish conquer most of Mexico. Laotians learn the joys of carne asada and the Tijuana donkey show.
- 1596 LAMBCHOP joins the Cudgel War in Finland just because fighting with cudgels sounded fun (and it was fun for a while). After 2 week the Laos get bored and leave. The peasants eventually lose.
- 1640 LAMBCHOP first enters North America to fight in the Beaver Wars. After learning they had read the memo wrong they decide to stick around and kick the shit outta the Algonquin for the Iroquois.
- 1775 America convinces LAMBCHOP that the British are tasty and fun to eat. This turns out to be true, but so are Americans, Canadians and Mexicans. Still LAMBCHOP fills up on Brits first and thus American casualties are light.
- 1803 Napoleon invites LAMBCHOP to a 12 year party in Europe. LAMBCHOP accepts.
- 1810 LAMBCHOP comes back to Mexico for more cervesa, carne asada, and chicas. They stick around to kick the shit outta the Spanish for the Mexicans. Mexico invents Horchata rice drink for their new Laotian buddies.
- 1860 LAMBCHOP comes back to Mexico for even more cervesa, carne asada, and chicas. They stick around to kick the shit outta the invading French. Thus was made the Holiday 'Cinco de Lao' (later changed to Cinco de Mayo due to pronunciation problems)
- 1914 World War I. Originally employed by the Kaiser, LAMBCHOP helps Germany kick the shit outta France. Unfortunately the Kaiser got drunk one night and made a disparaging remark about a Laotian's wife, causing them to switch sides to the English. While marching on Germany they made sure to kick the shit outta France one more time just for fun.
- 1939 World War II. In an almost comical déjà vu, Hitler follows in the Kaisers footsteps, except this time making fun of the Laotian Land Frigates. You know the rest.
- 1946 Communists backed by LAMBCHOP take over all of mainland China. When the Communist try to stiff LAMBCHOP on the Merc fee, they take the side of Taiwan for free just to show the Commies who's da man.
- 1956 Suez War. Having learned their lesson with the Romans 1900 years earlier, the Jews pay full price for LAMBCHOP support in wining the Suez War against overwhelming odds. One deciding factor for LAMBCHOP's aid of Israel was the generous beer bonus, which the Arabs failed to match (cuz they don't drink).
- 1962 Vietnam War. Originally started as the Laotian version of the 'Cub Scouts' the Viet Cong turn out to be so successful that even Lao teenagers join up to get in on the fun.
- 1967 Six Day War. Thinking the Laotians were preoccupied with Vietnam the Arabs attempt to destroy Israel again. Israel offers lifetime free beer, and LAMBCHOP takes a week off of Vietnam to bail Israel out once again.
- 1977 Cambodian-Vietnamese War. The wildly popular Viet 'Lao Cub Scouts' Cong, led to the formation of the Khmer 'Lao Girl Scouts' Rouge. Not so much a war as a series of LCS/LGS 'group activities' lasting 14 years.
- 2004 2nd Iraqi War. George W Bush contracts LAMBCHOP for the stunning defeat of Iraq in the first 2 months of battle. Bush decides to try and save money and in the 3rd month says to LAMBCHOP, "Ok we'll take it from here dudes," thus ensuring that America never wins.

Over the course of the last year, my position as local history intern has afforded me numerous opportunities to engage in a variety of projects, most of which have allowed me to pursue my own personal local history interests while contributing to the body of material available to the public for use in their own historical inquiries. When the weather has been appropriate, these projects have often taken me outdoors, camera in hand, and onto the streets of Kalamazoo. Last summer, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting and photographing the various historic districts of Kalamazoo County in order to compile information from the National Register of Historic Places and the State Historic Preservation Office in a series of web pages. When appropriate, I would always opt to walk to these destinations. In my pedestrian travels throughout Kalamazoo, I was frequently impressed by the quality and quantity of public memorials, monuments, sculptures, murals, and other works of art. When discussion regarding updates to the library's online photo gallery of local public sculpture occurred last winter, I immediately became interested in contributing to this effort.
As soon as the last of the significant quantities of snow had melted, and the weather had begun to turn more hospitable, I was ready to take new photographs of the works previously included, and quickly decided to expand the collection. From nine, the gallery has grown to thirty-nine with plans to include approximately two dozen additional sculptures. The sheer number of works of public sculpture found in Kalamazoo renders even this list incomplete, and it is my hope that if you are aware of a work that has been currently overlooked, you will inform me in order to help create the most comprehensive list possible.
These sculptures are, and have been, sources of civic pride for the residents of Kalamazoo, and we are lucky to conduct our lives amidst an atmosphere that encourages and appreciates the creation of works of artistic expression. While I am continuing to expand the gallery devoted to public sculpture in Kalamazoo, I am also currently engaged in creating a similar gallery focusing on public murals. It is my hope to have a version available by the end of spring.

This labor day, many Americans are thankful just to have a job.
While much of the focus lately has been on the floundering stock market. The fact remains that the nation's unemployment rate is hovering near a seven-year high. The economic policy institute, A Washington-based think tank, is out with its bi-annual report looking at The State of Working America.
The authors note that because so many people are looking for jobs companies are under less pressure to raise wages in order to attract and keep workers. And they found, unlike past years, unemployment is impacting people of all education levels.

So, the GOP finally has a candidate!
Mitt Romney finally wins the 2012 Republican nomination for president. However, even he didn't seem terribly excited about it.
It was perhaps the dullest Republican victory party since Herbert Hoover.
Mitt Romney won the Texas primary and with it the national Republican nomination for president. What followed was a victory party that could have been sponsored by Serta and Sominex. No brass bands. No fireworks. No victory speech. Not even a candidate – Romney couldn't make it.
In the tradition of Calvin Coolidge, he apparently had a warm glass of milk and went to bed.
It is "impossible to think of the GOP race without stifling a yawn," wrote the editorial staff of the liberal Daily Kos news site.
"To no one's surprise, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney received the final jewel in the crown of his nomination quest on Tuesday — Texas awarded him 97 delegates in Tuesday's primary," wrote Jean MacKenzie of the Tucson Sentinel in an article headlined: "Texas primary: The big yawn."
"You didn't think you needed a yawn, but," reported John Dickerson for Slate magazine, "Romney crossed the magic threshold of 1,144 – the number of delegates he needs to win the GOP nomination."
CBS News, the Huffington Post and a number of other news outlets reported that Romney wasn't even in Texas for the win, but instead was off wooing Donald Trump, who instead embarrassed him by surfacing more rumors that Barack Obama's birth certificate is bogus and he's ineligible to be in office.

Opinions (and Suggestions) Needed
I'm currently expecting a boy, who will be the brother of my daughter Ellison. I tend to like literary related names, being an English professor, as well as surname names, altho this is not a steadfast rule. I also worry a bit about popularity, as it seems tons of boy's names I like seem to be rising on the charts. That being said, I do have a few names on my list so far, but I'm also still looking for names, so I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions!
Current List:
Sullivan (Sully)
Soloman (Prolly Sully as well)
Beckett (Beck)
Ozias (Ozzy)
Silas (Si?)
Aeneas (I loved this name for awhile, but realize the teasing potential and thus likely wouldn't use it)

We have similar taste .
Sullivan - if hubby agreed it would be on our list as well
Soloman - I think I like this even more than Sullivan because I like nn Sol better than Sully, though they are both nice.
Beckett - my favorite, though I'm partial since it is my first born's name
Ozias - I prefer Ocias nn Cy
Silas - I like it, but I like Cyrus more
Aeneas - not a fan
Wilder - love. Wish I could get hubby to agree
You have some nice choices. Good luck!

Eminent Domain: Abuse of Government Power?
Recorded: Tuesday, January 31, 2006
In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

Hi, I HAVE to write you to say that I ADORE your blog. These fabulous pictures remind me of people from my youth. My youth was a time when we were taught to look up to, be inspired by, and learn from our elders. I feel like I know THESE people because I am fortunate enough to know people very similar to them -- colorful, courageous, individualistic.

That the fourth phase government is failing to control the actions of the police force, not in the final months of the presidency of Jakaya Kikwete but in the middle of his second term speaks a lot for the crisis in the governance context.
Doing something about the police force was underlined by incoming president Benjamin Mkapa late 1995 when he retired in the public interest the top cadre of the police force, and when he was leaving office, the force was in a shambles. Erstwhile Inspector General Omar Mahita left in a sort of hurry into retirement, but it is evident that old habits die hard – in the police force.
Reports that all is not well in the police force have been piling up, not only because on the basis of the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) it is the most corrupt government agency – or simply public institution – in the country.
People take the law in their own hands, enforcing outmoded customs of tribal circumcision by public humiliation and in certain cases killing of Maasai youths who resist the ritual and opt to have it performed under hospital conditions, for the reason that the police can't intervene. One must put up a case against an individual, and also pay the police for arrestation costs.
There was a time that everyone knew of the presence of 'askari kanzu,' that is police officers in civilian clothes whose job is to mingle with people and hear what was taking place, to get leads and pointers to criminal activities.
During the second phase under Augustine Mrema and then the third phase the police started innovating an 'opinion poll' in a certain area to find out criminals, a method that put people's lives in danger as it was easy for the criminals to learn who mentioned their names. It was increasingly apparent that networks of crime are beefed up by police officers, adding impunity to criminality.
Changing forms of behaviour in the police force is comparable to doctors, from the Hippocratic Oath to the general strike, something virtually unimaginable in terms of medical ethics.
The reason is that there are enclaves of restlessness in the public service that some are benefiting from uneven hands of distribution of favours in public duty, in which case laxity is extended to the police in the conduct of their duties, so that they don't excessively raise their voices in protest at poor remuneration.
When governments in Africa fail to pay their armies – and can't retrench, they allow them to live by their guns.
When police are allowed to extort as a matter of routine, it doesn't take time before they join crime networks, and then it is quite a problem to disentangle them from there.
A writer was mentioning in a weekend newspaper that many of the new recruits in the past decade are drawn from 'police lines,' that is, sons and some daughters of former officers, in which case they are too much at home to fear the government. When the 'community police' method is introduced, it formalizes abdication of the police from investigations.
One significant adaptive method that the third phase administration took up in relation to rising demands for better pay and conditions (especially housing) from the police force was to delegate appointments, promotions to the institution itself.
This led to autonomy of work to the highest degree, and facilitated plenty of what isn't right in the police force – as no consequences can be feared, like being expelled from the force and prosecuted as a civilian. When ex-regional crimes officer Abdallah Zombe was ensnared in purposeful shooting of miners with millions in a bag, he was sent away from Dar to a plum RPC job.
It is hard to see how the government withdraws this leverage that the police have on their kith and kin, now that they are becoming a tribe unto themselves, recruited with peer mention and 'knowledgeable' of the 'ways of the police,' etc.
Certain observers made a point of consternation at the velvet glove with which President Jakaya Kikwete treated the issues in meeting top police officers especially after the Songea event, where the RPC there was scornful, noting mildly that the killings arose from 'marital envies' of sorts. It means that the RPC was interested less in arresting killers than 'counseling' the society.
Not that it is overly difficult to see how such 'counseling' rimes particularly well with the idea of a 'community police,' in which case police actions aren't examined professionally and in conformity with Police Force Regulations, but socially, as part of the community.
It is as if two siblings are quarreling, and the parent (the father, for instance) can only point out to their different behaviors since childhood, since he can't call the police to arrest either of his sons. And at the same time this attitude matches with what is expected of senior police offices in the TANU Guidelines that they shouldn't be 'commandeering.'
This element is en example of what distinguishes the law from culture when it comes to explaining institutional conduct or behavior, for there is nothing in the structure of the police force that leads to a gradual desisting from enforcement of ethics.
But there is a 'bug' in the conscience of the force, as an aspect of the public, to resolve its problems by following a 'line of least resistance,' which in this case is to let things go on the basis of consensus, as set out in the famous Clause 15 of the TANU Guidelines.
When officers exercise overly indulgent attitudes on subordinates and the president leaves the force to the IGP, and police officers task the public to investigate and report criminals, all is absolutely fine.
This way of doing things becomes easiest for society generally despite the pains that are likely to accompany it because the public on the whole likes an indulgent or 'predictable' police where it is clear how much money can get one out of trouble.
It is also clear how much money can enable one's suspect or culprit to be arrested, in which case societal pressures will determine what sort of legal infringements will be reported and paid for – in which case arrests and prosecutions made – and which will go unnoticed.
There is in a paradoxical manner an 'equal opportunities' sort of environment, that so long as one actually provides the police with a suspect's name, and pays for costs, arrests will follow.
That may not be the most meritorious way of doing things, but it still permits a breadth of satisfaction as those who will take the trouble to report will have their (paid for) cases worked upon, and those who will not take such trouble will blame nobody for inaction.
While some may say that this is a devious way of formalizing corruption in the police force, something which it is possible PCCB director general Dr Edward Hosea had in mind in listing the police as singularly the most corrupt institution, the reality is a bit more complex.
Practically all government departments, ministerial authorities and public firms have what are being touted as 'client service charters' though as a matter of fact they are concluded not with clients but with the government – to justify their budgets and autonomy from parent ministries. Why wouldn't the police have a similar charter as well?
Embedded in the notion of a 'client service charter' is the idea of a customer or client visiting a public institution – the root of all errors, as it were – since public institutions cannot be provided with charters similar to commercial enterprises, which are locked in competition.
Public institutions are on the contrary constituted as monopolies of state action where each official is entrusted not just with the confidence but even with the conscience of state institutions as such.
The idea that such persons are governed by a code of conduct based on commercial values, of satisfying the specific person who is seeking services on the counter, and not a moral code reflecting both state authority and moral responsibility is incomprehensible.
The idea that such persons are governed by a code of conduct based on commercial values, of satisfying the specific person who is seeking services on the counter, and not a moral code reflecting both state authority and moral responsibility is incomprehensible.But for some reason this outlook has been enshrined in public institutions, and the moral rot is there to be seen in the systematic leakage of exams or stealing of results, MPs demanding 300,000/- daily allowances due to the 'cost of living,' doctors striking to demand 7m/- starting monthly salary to treat the poorest of the poor, top officials riding 200m/- vehicles and even higher amidst grinding poverty, permanent secretaries adding 'zeroes' to per diems and milking the difference

This package provides the Data.Text library, a library for the space- and time-efficient manipulation of Unicode text in Haskell.
Normalization, conversion, and collation, oh my!
This library intentionally provides a simple API based on the Haskell prelude's list manipulation functions. For more complicated real-world tasks, such as Unicode normalization, conversion to and from a larger variety of encodings, and collation, use the text-icu package.
That library uses the well-respected and liberally licensed ICU library to provide these facilities.

"Squidville" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season two. In this episode, Squidward moves to Tentacle Acres.
SpongeBob and Patrick get their new reef blowers and then start blowing and sucking things up with them, eventually sucking up Squidward's windows and door. When Squidward demands them to give the windows and door back, they shoot them at Squidward's house, destroying it. Squidward tells SpongeBob and Patrick that "This is the final straw. I am going to move so far away that I will be able to brag about it. I would rather tear out my brain stem, carry it to the middle of the nearest four-way intersection, and skip rope with it than go on living where I do now." Just then, his TV falls beside him amidst the rubble of his house, playing an commercial for "Tentacle Acres", a private community created exclusively for octopuses and ironically the guy advertising says the exact same thing's Squidward said only as questions. As Squidward watches, Patrick changes the screen to static, saying he "hates this channel". Squidward moves there, where he finds that the residents all look, sound and act similar to him, even living in houses identical to his, much to his delight, not even eyeing a rock or pineapple in sight. Before Squidward can go to sleep, eager to start his new life afresh, SpongeBob and Patrick call Squidward in an attempt to get him to return home, but Squidward refuses, and he therefore abruptly hangs up on them after saying that there was no possible way he was returning home, being among his own kind.Squidward begins his first day at Tentacle Acres by going biking, and finds that all the other octopi are riding their bikes as well. He then goes grocery shopping, and is impressed by the local food market, which even carries "canned bread". He then sees a Interpretive Dance Academy, where he dances in a group with others who share his style of dancing. At the end of the day, he sees a clarinet-playing trio performing in the park, which he joins. On Squidward's second day at Tentacle Acres, he rinses-lathers-and-repeats the process he did on the first day around. However, as the days succeed another, Squidward keeps performing the same routine from morning (starting from bike riding, to canned bread purchases, to the dance academy lessons, to the clarinet trio) to night. Again and again, Squidward keeps repeating the same process, and because there's nothing new about it, the smile he once had begins to lose its shape and Squidward starts to get to used to doing what he does every day. As the days continue, Squidward is starting to look horribly bored with his ideal life and eventually, that boredom leads to depression. Finally, Squidward realizes one day, while playing with the trio, that his dream life wasn't everything he had hoped it to be, and Squidward stops playing before he finishes. Squidward felt much worse off than he did when he left SpongeBob and Patrick.
While sitting on a park bench, lamenting this, Squidward hears a reef blower, hoping SpongeBob is there, but is crushed when Squidward finds out that was not to be (it seems that at this point, Squidward was hoping to see someone not of his species, even if it had to be the person he hated). The squid then leaves the reef blower unattended , with a sign that said "Back Whenever", and Squidward starts playing with it (in the same manner that SpongeBob and Patrick did in the beginning of the episode), irritating and scaring his neighbors out of their wits in the process. They eventually become fed up with his behavior, and form an angry mob and chase him as they are now on the warpath against Squidward. Meanwhile, SpongeBob and Patrick come to Tentacle Acres to apologize to Squidward and try to force him to return home. The surveillance guards tell them that their kind isn't welcome here and refuses to open the gate for them. However, Patrick's bad breath travels through the intercom into the room where the guards are, knocking them out and causing them to fall over onto the button that opens the gate. They enter the village, and see Squidward cornered by the angry mob, who show him "A well thought out and organized list of complaints" and are demanding him to leave and Squidward agrees. SpongeBob and Patrick are unable to identify him among the crowd of near-identical squids, with SpongeBob saying that "Any one of these Squidwards could be the real Squidward!". Squidward then uses the reef blower to launch himself out of the village, and SpongeBob says "Well, we know one thing: it sure isn't that guy!"

- Based on the montage which shows Squidward doing the same things every day and gradually becoming tired of it, Squidward spent a total of fourteen days at Tentacle Acres.
- Canned Bread actually exists as a Japanese product called "Pan Desuyo!" ("This is a bread!") (and in other countries). It is a real product in the US too; though in modern days, it is not as popular as it was to previous generations (The joke is that Squidward is old/boring).
- This is the second episode to feature a reef blower, the first being "Reef Blower".
- The part where Squidward was watching the commercial and Patrick changed it became a popular phenomenon on YouTube called "Patrick hates *random show, movie or video clip*" This is where a random clip from a TV show, movie, or a popular YouTube video is placed onto the TV that Squidward was watching and then Patrick changes it to static saying "I hate this channel" and the video ends. An example of the show that is placed on the TV is the scene from the "Rugrats" episode "Angelica Breaks Her Leg", where Stu is making chocolate pudding for Angelica at 4:00 a.m., another YouTube phenomenon.
- The guard asking about sponges and starfish may be inspired by the events of Opposite Day: SpongeBob and Patrick ruined Squidward's chance to sell his home by driving the realtor crazy with their antics. The realtor very likely might have shared her horror story, thus making everyone wary about living next door to sponges or starfish.
- "Stay Back, I've got Garden Tools", has become a popular line of Squidward.
- Irony: When Squidward plays with the reef blower, the people repeat his exact responses to SpongeBob and Patrick when they played with reef blowers.
- On the popular website "TV Tropes", 2 pictures from this episode are shown on the page "Boredom Montage".
- The season 2 DVD box set calls this episode "Squidsville".
- Tentacle Acres again appeared in the PC version of Lights, Camera, Pants!
- When Squidward is at the dancing academy, you can see an octopus there that looks like Squilliam since he has a unibrow.
- As it was made apparant that Squidward hadn't left Tentacle Acres or seen SpongeBob since he moved in, it could be presumed that Squidward quit his job at the Krusty Krab. It was never made clear however, how he could afford to live there and buy food with no source of income, unless he had money saved up.
- When Squidward is at the IDA, note the person next to him with a unibrow. It changes from orange to yellow. Then during the montage orange is the color.
- All of the squids are the same in many ways. they all have a nasally laugh and play the clarinet. However, in "Cephalopod Lodge", they are many different shapes, colors, and sizes.
- When Squidward went into the dance center two octopi over there was one that looked like him except no headband.
- After Squidward says, "Yeah! It's even better in a group!" and before he says, "This town is perfect.", a bubble transition is shown. For a brief second you can see "Rough Draft Korea" at the bottom of the screen. This error was done by the animation crew in Korea, where they color the episode.
- Squidward's daily activities in Tentacle Acres:
- Bicycling.
- Buying canned bread.
- Dancing.
- Playing clarinet, with other octopi.
- The female squid with the pink shirt and black hair closely resembles Squilvia who appears in a later episode Love That Squid.
- On the first day at Tentacle Acres, when Squidward joins the clarinet trio, when the camera zooms out, Squidward's shirt becomes white for a moment.
- From a certain angle, there are no numbers on the doors of Squidward's neighbors. From other angles, there are numbers on the doors.
- Squidward parks his bike in front of the "Full of Health" store, but when he exits the store, it is gone.
- SpongeBob and Patrick sucked in four pieces of Squidward's house, but when they shoot them back out, six pieces are shown flying through the air.
- Squidward's door was sucked to the side of his house, but when we see SpongeBob and Patrick, they are nowhere near the side of his house.
- When the parts of Squidward's house hit his house, SpongeBob and Patrick's houses are nowhere to be seen.
- When SpongeBob is talking on the phone before Squidward says he isn't moving back, the lines for sound are coming out of the wrong end of the phone.

After an early letter to Santa went viral, a local boy is not only making news but working to make his sister's world a better place.
Rocky Mount Preparatory School student, Ryan Suffern and his twin sister Amber are now eight years old.
Ryan has seemingly been weighed down with worry, watching his sister be bullied for being overweight and multi-racial. So he asked for Santa's help in an early letter.
"I wanted a (remote control) car and helicopter, but I don't want that anymore. Kids at school are still picking on Amber and it's not fair because she doesn't do anything to them at all," wrote the eight-year-old. "It makes me mad. I prayed that they will stop but God is busy and needs your help. Is it against the rules to give a gift early?"
Since Santa is still in pre-season preparation, the Globetrotters are pitching in to lend a hand thanks to Wilson native and Globetrotter, Ant Atkinson.
At 2 p.m. on Thursday, the performing basketball crew will present an assembly to the 600 students at Ryan and Amber's school with a message of action, bravery, and compassion in the face of bullying.
After the presentation, Ryan and Amber are being awarded the signed basketballs, the titles of Junior Phenoms, and tickets to the Globetrotters' show in Raleigh this March.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joesmama Great Chocolate Bunny, Not Great Packaging My kids (who are adults!) loved their Lindt bunnies...unfortunately, being hollow, one of them had a crushed head when it arrived in the packaging. It was pretty pathetic looking. Fortunately, I had an extra bunny so the brain-damaged bunny went to my husband. Apropos. April 9, 2013

More puppy/breeder questions
I've been thinking about this more, and I figured it was just easier to post here and hope for responses.
First, is it better to go to a breeder that breeds specifically for something? Like show or field, etc.? Versus just a good breeder for all around pet types.
Second, I've been considering getting a puppy that's good enough to show in conformation. I show Arabian horses and really enjoy show atmospheres. What is the price difference between a show quality or pet quality puppy?
Third, I'm looking at getting a female puppy this time (my last Golden was a male). Are they harder to find than male puppies? When I've looked at other breeds, it has seemed like that's the case for the good ones.

In my opinion I think that most reputable breeders will be breeding for the all around dog. Form, function, substance, temperament, movement, type. They should all be breeding for the betterment of the breed. If you're looking for a puppy as a show prospect then I would suggest going to some local shows and meeting some breeders, talk with them about their dogs, take names.

|The Following User Says Thank You to Jen & Brew For This Useful Post:
Kosmopolitan (12-24-2012)
Great questions here are my opinions, I will answer in order.
1. Yes, you want to deal with someone who has a plan. When you say breeds for pets, I get the feeling that they are most likely going to be a back yard breeder. Reputable breeders are breeding for themselves first. That means more attention to things like clearences, structure, movement, trainability, and temperament. I will repost one of the best things I have written below.
2. If you show Arabians, you are probably no stranger to the cost of competition. It is also very costly to be competitive in Goldens. In general the initial cost of the show puppy will pale in comparison to the show/grooming supplies to buy, entry fees, travel costs, the cost to have a handler potentially show this dog, and then the health screenings to be done. In general I would say that most breeders have either a small increase in price for a show puppy or like mine, no difference but the dog will be on a co-ownership.
3. Getting a breeder to part with a show prospect at all may be difficult unless you have previous credentials. If you are a newbie you will normally have to build a relationship and prove yourself. Then you may be offered a co-ownership opportunity. I do think it is hard to find a great show puppy but, I think bitches are harder to come by just based on the machanics of a breeding program. The breeder is breeding for themselves to get that next step forward in their program. How do they normally do this, by keeping a puppy bitch. So, usually right of the bat the "pick" puppy bitch is already taken, if there is even a show quality girl in there. If there is more than one show quality girl then there is a shot, but some litter produce no show puppies at all. Remember, the term "pick" can be misleading. The "pick" of a mediocre litter means little. The 3rd "pick" of an exceptional litter with consitancy and wonderful structure could be a great dog. You also need to fell confident that the person evaluating the litter and/or breeder knows how to pick show puppies. This is where that breeder with a plan comes in. If your breeder has produced, kept, and shown champions in the past, they are doing well in puppy selection. If your breeder has never produced a champion and is touting the second pick girl as the best thing to walk on 4 legs, how can you trust in their opinion?

LJack, thank you SO much! That was as informative as I could've hoped to read! I wondered about the previous credentials, so I'm glad you touched on that, too.
I've located a few breeders near me, so I'm researching them now. I haven't heard back from the local clubs for referrals, but I'm in no hurry since it's the holiday season. As long as I hear back at some point, I'll be content
If you want a puppy to show, you might have better luck if you're willing to take a male. As LJack said, the breeder will likely keep the pick female, so you're unlikely to get a show quality female unless you are very close friends with the breeder and enter into a co-ownership agreement. The pick male, however, may be available.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week, the National Football League announced on Wednesday.
Miller totaled six tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in Denver's 30-23 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. His three sacks tied a career high and his two forced fumbles represented a personal best.
The second-year player, who leads the NFL with 23 tackles for a loss in 2012, owns career 24.5 sacks, trailing only Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas for the most sacks through a player's first 25 games (since 1982).
The award marks the second career AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor for Miller (Week 11, 2011) and the third such accolade for a Broncos player this season (CB Tracy Porter, Week 1; LB Wesley Woodyard, Week 8).

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- Dancers came out to help a little girl who lost her brother and her leg in the Boston Bombings.
The 'Dance Out for Jane' has become a national phenomenon after people learned the 7-year old girl was an avid Irish Dancer.
Fundraising events are happening at Irish pubs across the DC region on Sunday to help the family financially.
Carol Walsh, "these Irish dancers, it gets in their blood. It goes through their feet they can't walk down the street without skipping and spinning, it's part of their personality."
To see a dancer who lost that ability to dance to have a chance to support that child is so important to them."
At the Mcginty's Public House in downtown Silver Spring, a gesture of good after the dark and tragic day at the Boston Marathon.
7-year-old Jane Richard, was at the finish line cheering her father on. She was with her-8-year old brother, Martin, and her mother, when bombs exploded.
Jane lost her brother. Her mother suffered brain injuries.
America would quickly see the picture of Jane's brother carrying that poignant sign that read 'no more hurting people' peace.
We would also learn that Jane, who lost her leg in the blast, loves to dance. She's part of the Clifden Academy of Irish Dance in Boston.
Todd Willens, Parent, "my little one is 8, you put yourself in that family spot. Sympathy goes out to them and hopefully she'll be back dancing with the medical marvels and dancing really soon."
"Ever since the Boston bombings, people have been asking how they can help the Richard Family. And like a well choreographed step, the Irish dance community has held 'dance out for Jane' events throughout the country."
Walsh, "It's the community coming together to support the family, a chance to come together for good. It feels right."
Young dancers in our area have stepped out in select Irish pubs from Baltimore to Northern Virginia on Sunday, where 100% of the donations and part of the restaurant sales will go directly to the Richard Family.
There are also several affiliated Dance Out for Jane DC performances at which donations will be collected:
Looney's "Jigging for Jane" Happy Hour (College Park, MD) - 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30, hosted by the Irish dancers at the University of Maryland Great Falls Day presented by the Great Falls Historical Society (Great Falls, VA) - 3 p.m. performance by the Culkin School's adult Irish dancers
Funds raised by Dance Out For Jane DC will be donated to the Richard Family Fund, established by friends and family to help the Richards through this devastating time. Cash and checks will be collected at participating dance schools prior to the event and at the dance out locations. Checks should be made payable to the Richard Family Fund. Donations can be made at any time online at:

Frankie Gallo
this wiki
Frankie Gallo is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV. Frankie serves an Enforcer for the Pegorino crime family and nephew to a well-known member in the Pegorino family, Phil Bell.
Events of GTA IV
Frankie seems like a perfectly good mafioso when the player meets him in Truck Hustle, however in To Live and Die in Alderney, it is revealed he is rather dimwitted and has not thought the heroin distribution plan through.
Frankie can survive the mission, or die during its events.
The player can save Frankie, but it's hard to keep him alive when the player is getting into the van, as the police, FIB, and NOOSE will be shooting the van, and he takes a while to close the door.
If the player wants to save him, they must quickly take out the chopper, get in the van, and drive away from the cops. Maintaining a distance from the cops means that Frankie won't be shooting at them, and the cops won't be able to shoot at him.
If Niko or the FIB kills Frankie, Phil will blame himself for his death and is one of the reasons to have his ex-wife hate him.
- Frankie wears a similar outfit to Dwayne Forge and Dardan Petrela the only difference is he wears a gold necklace and a green jacket.
- During the mission To Live and Die in Alderney, he can be killed but only after him, Niko and Phil abandon the two black Washingtons.
- Many players may recognise Frankie's voice from various radio ads in previous Grand Theft Auto games, such as 'Synth and Son' in Vice City.
- Gallo describes his life as tough as he has to look after his mother and sister while being a member of an organized crime family.
