DoD building cyber workforce of the future
Wednesday - 9/19/2012, 3:47am EDT
Jared Serbu, DoD reporter, Federal News Radio
It's a safe bet that no one in the Defense Department would argue that the U.S. military has completely solved the challenge of making sure its forces will dominate the future cyber battlefield as convincingly as its conventional forces handle air, sea or ground power today. But the progress toward that goal has been significant, experts inside and outside of government say.
Two years ago, U.S. Cyber Command was brand new. President Barack Obama ordered its creation to coordinate and synchronize the cyber activities of all the military services, including recruiting a top-notch workforce.
As Gen. Keith Alexander, the then-new commander of CYBERCOM told a House hearing in September 2010, recruiting that workforce was one challenge. Holding onto it in the face of the much higher salaries the private sector could offer was another.
Why the DoD cyber workforce was rated effective |
Reason #1: Air Force turns cyber into a career
Reason #2: DoD praises success of cyber teams that combine both attack and defend capabilities under a single commander Reason #3: Gen. Alexander defines which national cyberspace missions belong to each of the four DoD branches, helping to define cyber workforce skills and abilities (More primary source material available on The Obama Impact Resource Page) |
"We're getting a lot of good folks," he told the House Armed Services Committee. "It's a privilege and honor to see the people we're getting. The question is how we retain them."
But two years into the military's workforce buildup, cyber commanders say their initial fears that cyber warriors would give up their military jobs in pursuit of bigger paychecks have turned out to be mostly a non-issue.
"We've exceeded my expectations, to be honest," Vice Adm. Michael Rogers, the commander of the Navy's Fleet Cyber Command told a subcommittee of the same Congressional panel almost two years later. "I think the thing that's surprised and heartened me the most is that increasingly these men and women view themselves as warriors. While our civilian counterparts offer a lot of opportunities, one thing they don't offer is the ability to be a warrior. The workforce really seems to crystalize around that idea."
For these and other reasons, Federal News Radio has rated the Obama administration as effective in creating a DoD cyber workforce of the future. The rating is part of our special week-long multimedia series, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years.
Rethinking strategies to recruit, retain
Lt. Gen. Michael Basla, who just took over as the Air Force's chief information officer, said his service had a similar experience.
"We've made it an operational domain. It's a warfighting domain. The folks involved in that understand that and want to be part of the fight," Basla said in an interview with Federal News Radio. "I have talked to warfighters like our fighter pilots, and they talk about having both kinetic and nonkinetic options for each of their targets. When you get that kind of mindset, the troops in the field who are providing this cyber capability get pretty excited. We haven't had any retention problems that I've seen."
Gen. Keith Alexander, commander of CYBERCOM
Knowing they can't compete with the private sector on salary, the military services have calibrated their cyber recruiting and training strategies to emphasize benefits that don't show up in black-and-white on a leave and earnings statement, like training opportunities and operational experiences they can't find with industry.
"The money's better on the outside. Got it. But when you're working with the right authorities here, you can do a lot of things that will get you put in jail on the civilian side," Skip Runyan, the technical director for the Air Force's 39th Information Operations Squadron told Federal News Radio in a recent interview. "In the Air Force model, we've trained a lot of pilots that end up working for the airline industry. So there's always going to be a draw to the private sector, but a lot of those pilots we've trained have also gone on to be four-star generals. We're looking for that same career progression for our cyber officers and enlisted personnel."
Changes in oversight and governance from the Pentagon have helped with the workforce effort, according to Alan Paller, research director at the SANS Institute. He said up until about a year ago, the headquarters element of the Defense Department focused on exactly the wrong evaluation criteria for recruiting and maintaining its cyber workforce: compliance with certification and accreditation paperwork rather than real-world warfighter capability.
"The people they highlighted were people with what we call soft skills. Good writing. Good talking. Everything except actually being able to secure a computer," he said.
Requiring technical skills
After what Paller characterized as a behind-the-scenes battle between the Pentagon and on-the-ground cyber warfighters in U.S. Cyber Command and the military branches, that paradigm changed.
"Then they went ahead and did it right," he said. "The Air Force really is in the lead, but the Navy is right there with them and now the Army is catching up, and they're all focused on mission-critical skills. When you take the best military training right now, you get really technical, hands-on, hard-nosed skills. The headquarters people have discovered after a lot of feedback from the field that they had been doing it wrong. They're now looking at measuring proficiency instead of book learning, and I'm very impressed."
While the military services all have their own specific training responsibilities and missions-for cyber warriors, Alexander, the head of Cyber Command, has also emphasized the need for joint training so that when cyber warriors are tasked with a mission they're all trained to the same standards regardless of the uniform they wear.
While joint training exists today, the Defense Information Systems Agency is building on it in a relatively new effort guided by the National Initiative for Cyberspace Education.
"Our vision is to help to establish a very robust cybersecurity workforce development and certification program that will help prepare DoD cyber warriors to operate and defend our networks in an increasingly threat-based environment," said Henry Sienkiewicz, DISA's vice chief information assurance executive. "As we move the Department of Defense into a joint information environment, that whole environment needs to be able to be supported by consistent, repeatable behaviors. There are going to be service-specific attributes, and we clearly know that. The services are doing a great job on training their cyber workforce. We just know that DISA and our cyber partners, including the National Defense University, have really important roles in helping to augment that training and setting some of those standards."
The operational training framework will be organized around 42 specific roles in the DoD workforce. The first focus is on members of the Defense workforce who are specifically tasked with computer network defense, said Roger Greenwell, DISA's director of field security operations.
"And as we look at the various roles that an individual would play, we're making determinations about what's the appropriate training, what's the knowledge, what's the ability of each person in those specific roles, and we're working toward the development of more modularized training," he said. "That training can then be leveraged across each specific role, or in some cases, a training module may be more appropriate to different roles entirely."
Alexander has told Congress and public forums that another top workforce priority is to better integrate the capabilities of the offensive and defensive sides of the military's cyber workforce.
A numbers problem
And even though retention challenges have been less troublesome than initially feared and the military has begun to build effective training frameworks, DoD still is struggling to recruit and train the sheer volume of qualified cyber warriors it believes it needs.
"At present, we are critically short of the skills and the skilled people we as a command and a nation require to manage our networks and protect U.S. interests in cyberspace," Alexander told the Senate Armed Services Committee in March.
Paller agreed that while the quality and organization of the training pipelines have been significantly improved in recent years, the bandwidth of that pipeline is still far too small.
"Full understanding of this has come about just in the last six months," he said. "When it became public that the United States had been behind Stuxnet, it became acceptable for other nations to [use similar weapons]. And we're much, much more vulnerable than other nations are. Iran's centrifuges weren't connected to the Internet, but no matter what you hear, our power systems and a number of other things are connected to the Internet."
Top-notch cyber threat "hunters" and "tool builders" still are in short supply, Paller said.
"We probably have fewer than 800 of them in the entire country. China probably has 40,000 of them."
Basla, the Air Force CIO, said because his service faces fiscal constraints, it has to make tough decisions about personnel, it's important to zealously guard the elite cyber professionals it's built up so far.
That hasn't always happened, he said.
"In some force shaping measures over the past few years, we had to reduce our end strength, and we did it across-the-board without paying attention to the different capabilities that the airmen represented," he said. "It was a fair way to do it, I'll say that, but we didn't have the fidelity we needed to say, 'Hey, we've only got a handful of folks with this kind of skill. We need to protect them.'"

From the Booker Prize–winning author of The White Tiger, a stunning novel of greed and murder in contemporary Mumbai.
At the heart of this novel are two equally compelling men, poised for a showdown. Real estate developer Dharmen Shah rose from nothing to create an empire and hopes to seal his legacy with a luxury building named the Shanghai. Larger-than-life Shah is a dangerous man to refuse. But he meets his match in retired schoolteacher Masterji. Shah offers a generous buyout to Masterji and his neighbors in a once respectable, now crumbling apartment building on whose site Shah's high-rise would be built. They can't believe their good fortune. Except, that is, for Masterji, who refuses to abandon the building he has long called home. As the demolition deadline looms, desires mount; neighbors become enemies, and acquaintances turn into conspirators who risk losing their humanity to score their payday. Here is a richly told, suspense-fueled story of ordinary people pushed to their limits in a place that knows none: the new India as only Aravind Adiga could explore—and expose—it.

Aravind Adiga is the author of The White Tiger, which was awarded the 2008 Man Booker Prize, and a collection of stories, Between the Assassinations. He was born in India and attended Columbia and Oxford universities. He is a former correspondent for Time magazine whose work has also appeared in The New Yorker, Granta, The Sunday Times (London), and the Financial Times, among other publications. He lives in India.
A Best Book of the Year:
The Boston Globe
Richmond Times-Dispatch
The Daily Beast
"Brilliant. . . . If you loved the movie Slumdog Millionaire, you will inhale the novel Last Man in Tower. Adiga's second novel is even better than the superb White Tiger. . . . First-rate. . . . You simply do not realize how anemic most contemporary fiction is until you read Adiga's muscular prose. His plots don't unwind, they surge."
—USA Today
"Provocative and decadent. . . . The kind of novel that's so richly insightful . . . it's hard to know where to begin singing its praises. . . . Vain, shrewd and stubborn, [Masterji] is one of the most delightfully contradictory characters to appear in recent fiction."
—The Washington Post
"Masterful. . . . With this gripping, amusing glimpse into the contradictions and perils of modern India, Adiga cements his reputation as the preeminent chronicler of his country's messy present."
"Adiga has written the story of a New India. . . . This funny and poignant story is multidimensional, layered with many engaging stories and characters."
—The Seattle Times
"A rare achievement. . . . Adiga captures with heartbreaking authenticity the real struggle in Indian cities, which is for dignity. A funny yet deeply melancholic work, Last Man in Tower is a brilliant, and remarkably mature, second novel."
—The Economist
"With wit and observation, Adiga gives readers a well-rounded portrait of Mumbai in all of its teeming, bleating, inefficient glory. . . . Like any good novelist, Adiga's story lingers because it nestles in the heart and the head."
—Christian Science Monitor
"Last Man in Tower is a nuanced study of human nature in all of its complexity and mystery. (It is also humane and funny.) Nothing is quite as it seems in the novel, which makes for surprises both pleasant and disturbing."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Adiga populates his fiction with characters from all parts of India's contemporary social spectrum, and the intensity of his anger at aspects of modern India is modulated by his impish wit."
—The Wall Street Journal
"Adiga maps out in luminous prose India's ambivalence toward its accelerated growth, while creating an engaging protagonist . . . a man whose ambition and independence have been tempered with an understanding of the important, if almost imperceptible, difference between development and progress."
—Entertainment Weekly
"[An] adroit, ruthless and sobering novel. . . . Adiga peppers his universally relevant tour de force with brilliant touches, multiple ironies and an indictment of our nature."
—The Star Ledger
"Adiga is an exceptionally talented novelist, and the subtlety with which he presents the battle between India's aspirants and its left-behind poor is exceptional."
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
"A brilliant examination of the power of money. . . . Ultimately Last Man in Tower is about how greed affects compassion. . . . Adiga skillfully unfolds a surprising conclusion that underscores what a great novel this is."
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[Full of] acute observations and sharp imagery. . . . Like all cautionary tales, it embodies more than a little truth about our times."
—Financial Times
"Dickensian. . . . Well worth the time of any reader interested in the circumstances of life in a seemingly foreign place that turns out to be awfully familiar. . . . Readers above all else will find pleasure and pain in the ups and downs of the human family itself."
—San Francisco Chronicle
1. What are some of the major themes of the novel? How does Adiga set them forth even in the first pages through his description of Vishram Society? What do you think the banyan tree symbolizes?
2. The novel begins, "If you are inquiring about Vishram Society, you will be told right away that it is pucca—absolutely, unimpeachably pucca." What does the word pucca mean? Why is this fact about Vishram important to the story?
3. How does Adiga use humor as social commentary?
4. On page 7, there is a quote adapted from the Bhagavad Gita: "I was never born and I will never die; I do not hurt and cannot be hurt; I am invincible, immortal, indestructible." Which characters in the novel seem to feel this way?
5. Why is Masterji so respected at the beginning of the novel? How would he be treated in the United States?
6. According to Masterji, his wife's favorite saying was " 'Man is like a goat tied to a pole.' Meaning, all of us have some free will but not too much" (page 41). Does this prove true for him?
7. There are dozens of scenes that revolve around food. What do the characters' eating habits tell us about them?
8. Is Dharmen Shah a villain? What are his intentions? Who else might be considered a villain in the story?
9. Discuss Masterji's friendship with Mr. and Mrs. Pinto. Does envy come into play? How does the offer change their relationship?
10. What is the symbolism behind Mr. Kothari's flamingos? What are some of the other characters' influential memories?
11. There are several instances of betrayal in the novel. Whose struck you as most shocking?
12. The offer brings out many different emotions and reactions from the residents of Vishram. In general, how is the reaction of the women different from that of the men in the building?
13. Several of the characters have children, Masterji included. How does their role as parents influence their decision-making? How does parenting in the novel's modern-day India compare to parenting in the United States?
14. After reading the sign his neighbors have posted criticizing him, Masterji thinks, "A man is what his neighbours say he is" (page 196). Is this true in the novel? How does that notion affect Masterji? Do you think the neighbors' opinions were entirely new or had just lain dormant until he refused the offer?
15. What role does class play in the story? How does the neighbors' treatment of Mary and Ram Khare reflect their attitudes in general?
16. Why do you think Mr. Pinto changes his mind about accepting the offer? Is it only about the money or are there other reasons as well?
17. When Shah hears the news about Masterji, he says, " 'I thought it would be a push down the stairs, or a beating at night. That's all…I forgot we were dealing with good people'" (pages 358–359). What does he mean?
18. Why does Ajwani refuse to sign?
19. The last line of the novel is, "Nothing can stop a living thing that wants to be free." What is this referring to?
20. Why doesn't Masterji just agree to sell? What would you have done?

Whos says the game isnt at the highest difficulty setting possible for the available resources and common technology? There might be a slight issue with moral which is causing extended winning or losing streaks, Paul has already been over that, again i question if you have actually read this thread. Outwith that there is little the game does differently to FM11 so if you found that ok then that says something under the hood we are not aware of is maybe causing this issue for a select few people, and not everyone. Which makes finding the issue very very difficult.
If you feel so strongly then provide Paul with PKM's of your games, he has been asking for these all along so he can check his ideas against save games.

Bruce Wayne gets an unexpected guardian angel, Slag's in charge of the Dinobots and there are cold comforts for Lumi the Snow Queen, while Cap & Spidey get emo and Ozymandias and Deathstroke fail big,
Grant Morrison brings back the impossible in "Action Comics," pieces fall into place in "Thief of Thieves" and Clint Barton has a long day off in his new solo series, while Chaykin goes hentai.
Brilliant character work for giant robots, mad scientists, revised super villains and the galaxy's fastest Sith, while Batman goes out way too easily and Captain America would well served turning off "fair and balanced" news.
A huge haul of seven comics with a toy story Pixar would never tell, Layla aping Leelee, T'challa calling it a comeback, Vader shutting things down, Loki making peace, a royal coronation and two wacky kids in love fleeing a war.
The House of Ideas shows up with surprisingly effective storytelling based in characters while more event comics fell by the wayside as the world waits on news from San Diego.
From magical dimensions and mechanical worlds to the streets of New York and sub-Saharan Africa, things went pretty well even while yawns were elicited by He-Man, Superman and Cyclops in their fruitless foibles.
This week makes it thanks to Marvel as evening wear in Madripoor and New York's stylish night scene lead to heroism and fisticuffs. Meanwhile, Blue Lanterns flounder and Nite Owl needs a nap
It's not quite "independent's day," but there's strong storytelling from Matt Fraction, Bill Willingham, Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Brian K. Vaughan, Kieron Gillen and David Hine as magic and madness combine.
Reed and the family head to Wakanda, Spidey fights in the middle of the Pacific (and it works) while Image's title that could, "Skullkickers," spans space and time to entertain in a fun week of comics.
A lot of books, starring the Justice League to the Defenders, really tried to tank the week, but "Journey into Mystery" and another Bill Willingham-led all-star performance on "Fairest" saved the day.
Things went pretty well as the week couldn't be submarined by Wolverine covering the same old ground and Animal Man getting a fresh new past.
It's more than giant robots and super-powered punching in a week that featured a dreadlocked Norse god, a child queen gone wrong, politics between magical tribes and Dr. Octopus' ego getting in the way of glory.
It's Independent's Day as it's all Image as "Saga" and "Manhattan Projects" dazzle while John Stewart and Jaime Reyes disappoint and many (Diana, Valen the Outcast and a gaggle of spies) try hard.
It was as bad as it was good as a preponderance of dismal books threaten to overcome Sigurd, the Snow Queen and a medieval barbarian tossed into the wild west. Derivative ideas, factual challenges - it was rough out there.
The Black Widow leads the action as she hops from continent to continent while Peter Parker struggles with his past, Mauricio Barrino struggles with the future and an alternate Superman handles it all.
It's a close call as three comics demand to make it home, while seven stinkers almost submarined the entire thing. Ming yes, Marcus Johnson no. Peter Parker yes, Danny Rand no. So much drama...
Hannibal can't be too mad at a week when two comics were so good they demanded to come home, from the wilds of post-Katrina New Orleans to fighting super villains along the Mediterranean & lost kids in magical lands.
Magic and intrigue stand center stage in a week that wins with the Empire's favorite spy, Loki keeps the plates spinning and an innovative new comic from Image continues to shine.
Peter Parker, Conrad Hauser, Matt Murdock, Baldy the Skullkicker and Casanova Quinn bring it home in a set of comics that delight despite cliches in Gotham, whining at Avengers Academy & more.
The week goes badly as no comic books were good enough to buy and stinky selections involving Superman, The Vision, The Flash, Scarlet Witch, Firestorm, Hope and Captain Britain fall, hard.
For a small amount of money, this week won with more brilliance from "Fables" and Wonder Woman having family squabbles that reveal more than an episode of "Maury" while Cable and Bruce Wayne disappoint.
Character mattered in books from each of the big four publishers this week, melding science and magic while spies became baby daddies, super villains got hypnotized and even great writers stumbled.
A dazzling four comic books were so good that they had to be bought, even while the avatars of Order and Chaos and teenagers in love battle it out to see which is so bad it can make rocks cry. (Spoiler alert: it's both)

This Blog hosts discussion of issues relevant to the book, Inside the Economist's Mind, coedited by Nobel Laureate Paul A. Samuelson and William A. Barnett, published by Wiley/Blackwell, and the newer book by William A. Barnett, Getting It Wrong, published by MIT Press.
***To comment on an existing post, click on "comments" below that post.***
About Me
- Name: William A. Barnett
William A. Barnett is Oswald Distinguished Professor of Macroeconomics at the University of Kansas and Director of the Center for Financial Stability in New York City. He was previously Research Economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, DC; Stuart Centennial Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin; and Professor of Economics at Washington University in St. Louis. William Barnett has been a leading researcher in macroeconomics and econometrics. He is one of the pioneers in the study of chaos and nonlinearity in socioeconomic contexts, as well as a major figure in the study of the aggregation problem. He is Editor of the Emerald Press monograph series International Symposia in Economic Theory and Econometrics, and Editor of the journal Macroeconomic Dynamics, published by Cambridge University Press. He received his B.S. degree from M.I.T., his M.B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University.

The book, Inside the Economist's Mind, is coedited by Paul A. Samuelson and William A. Barnett. Although this Blog is hosted solely by the latter coeditor, the following is the information in the book's front matter about Paul Samuelson:
Paul A. Samuelson was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. He is Professor Emeritus of Economics and Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Institute Professor is the highest rank awarded by MIT. His landmark 1947 book, Foundations of Economic Analysis, based upon his Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard University, established him as "the economists' economist" by raising the standards of the entire profession. Paul Samuelson's classic textbook, Economics, first published in 1948, is among the most successful textbooks ever published in the field. The book's 16 editions have sold over four million copies and have been translated into 41 languages. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Chicago and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. As one of the profession's most productive scholars for over a half-century, he remains an intellectual force of towering stature.

Vehicle type | Law Enforcement Vehicle |
Body style | Armored Personnel Carrier |
Capacity | 2 (Driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | The Ballad Of Gay Tony |
- "Nothing says "I've made it in this town" a like a N.O.O.S.E armored personnel carrier, equipped with a 360-degree rotatable turret and explosive ordinance."
- ―Official website Description
The APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) is an armored assault vehicle featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is commonly referred to as a NOOSE Tank.
As The Ballad of Gay Tony restores the over-the-top style of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the APC was created to fill a role similar to GTA San Andreas's S.W.A.T and the Rhino. The front and side of the APC bears a striking resemblance to the Soviet BRDM-2 scout car, with side doors from a Cadillac Gage Commando.
In terms of the APC's road-going abilities, the vehicle is evidently unintended for speedy travel. While the APC has a top speed of 69 mph (111 km/h), it possesses poor acceleration that dampens the APC's potential to reach its top speed and climb steep inclines. On the other hand, its soft suspensions helps in providing the APC with generally reliable steering, especially at low speeds, and its brakes are also effective even in higher speed, impressive for a large and heavy vehicle like the APC; however, the suspensions' configuration increases the APC's susceptibility to rollovers due to uneven weight distribution during sharp turns. Its excessively heavy weight also allows the APC to push aside any small vehicle without much disruption in the APC's movement.
However, the APC's true strength lies in its prowess in combat, making the APC one of the most lethal combat vehicles in-game (still a step below that of the Buzzard, but can overwhelm the lightly armed Annihilator). In place of GTA San Andreas' S.W.A.T. tank water cannon is a turret loaded with explosive rounds, which is only as powerful as an explosive round shot from an Explosive Shotgun or Advanced Sniper. As little as two shots to any part of a car, and the car will catch fire. Afterwards, any medium-force impact will instantly explode the car. This is a mixed blessing. Catching a Police Car behind you on fire can make other Police Cars run into it, causing a dynamic chain explosion. However, doing the same to Police Cars in front has a price: one can find it hard to maneuver around the burning car, resulting in the car exploding on impact. However, the APC is very durable, as covered below, and can resist up to four explosions before catching fire itself. Despite its well-apparent power, the APC has some minor drawbacks. Due to it being a special vehicle with severely limited window space, other weapons cannot be used, preventing one from throwing Sticky Bombs or passengers helping to fend off pursuers. The turret also has a limited field of view that is incapable of shooting high up into the air where pursuing police/NOOSE helicopters may linger, although, depending on the position of the player and the pursuing helicopter(s), it is possible to hit the helicopter if the player aims the turret properly.
The APC is also the most durable vehicle in TBOGT, being able to resist high speed impacts without any noticeable body deformation, and survive gunfire and even multiple Rocket Launcher rounds. Though the APC is completely bulletproof in front of the back wheels, behind the back wheels lie the engine and air ventilation, and can take damage from that area. However, the APC itself has high durability, and can still withstand multiple magazines of LMG fire on the weak spot. If one were to destroy an APC, he should aim at behind the turret at the air vents.
- Although the APC is described on the official TBoGT website as an APC utilized by NOOSE, neither NOOSE nor the LCPD actually use the APC in-game to chase the player, except during "Frosting on the Cake" or when there is an APC in the area and a police or NOOSE officer gets in the vehicle.
- In the said mission, the APC has a notable difference than the APC the player can drive. Instead of a turret that shoots explosive bullets, this APC has UZI instead of normal explosive bullets.
- Even though the APC has small but visible windows, shooting through them will not hurt the driver inside. It is also not possible to perform 'drive by shootings' or throw sticky bombs out of the window, but the turret makes up for this.
- Despite being a (more or less) military vehicle, the second since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the player can call Henrique Bardas so he can give Luis an APC after completing the mission "Departure Time". This probably pokes fun of NOOSE's incompetence in securely storing the vehicle.
- If one were to put a sticky bomb inside the APC, detonation will frequently, not harm the APC at all and the only splash damaged received will be from other explosive objects, (i.e. cars, propane tanks).
- The semi-kamikaze tactic above might spawn flames on the APC, don't worry as these are caused from the explosion of the bomb, and the smoke may confuse players as smoke coming from the APC.
- In multiplayer, the APC is easily available in Free Mode, and there is a dedicated race class where all racers drive the APC, during which the player can use the cannon, albeit with a slower rate of fire and less power. Given its overpowering nature, however, the APC is not available in team deathmatch, deathmatch or other competitive co-op modes not directly related to the vehicle.
- An interesting way to blow things up is to put sticky bombs on some of the sides; then drive towards the target and press down on the . The APC will not be destroyed; instead, it will catch fire and blow up by itself soon afterwards.
- The APC can be damaged by the extreme power of the swing glitch, however, one probably wouldn't notice the damage unless one uses a health pack or the health cheat. Usually the front will suffer compression, pushing about it about half a foot into the APC.
- The APC's main weakness is actually its own high suspension. Entering a turn quickly will result in flipping the APC over (except if it flips back again) as it's perhaps the strongest vehicle in the whole game. (i.e The player can flip a turned car by cheating an APC, but they can't flip an APC by any means. Excluding the exploding punch cheat.) It can be turned back by constantly firing the turret straight down into the ground, however, the health cheat is vital while doing this, as the APC will take damge by the exploding projectiles.
- If the player drives the APC into the pond in Middle Park, it will gain damage but cannot be destroyed.
- If the APC lands upside down, it is very difficult to flip back over due to its size and weight (crashing cars into it will have no effect.) However, using a helicopter by crashing into it (or using its rotors) may help flip it back over, causing only minor damage to the APC.
- Even though it's considered to be a law enforcement vehicle, the player can pick up prostitutes and pay for their services.
- It's the second vehicle in the whole GTA Series to be based on a Russian one. The first is the Dune.
- When wanted, the LCPD refer the APC to a "Black tank", however the APC is a dark green.
- The APC was supposed to make a return in Grand Theft Auto V but was cut for unknown reasons. In the official GTA V trailer a burnt APC shell can be seen, but the APC does not appear in the final version.
- If an APC and Rhino tank (GTA V version) went head to head, the APC could only take 2 shots from the Rhino until it blows up. This is because the APC is not a tank and the Rhino is.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- The APC appears in the missions "Caught with your Pants Down", where the player steals one for Yusuf Amir, and "Frosting on the Cake", where the player destroys one with Sticky Bombs to escape pursuing law enforcement after killing several Lost MC bikers.
- Can be obtained from Henrique Bardas after finishing the main storyline.
- Parking lot of the East Holland LCPD Station in Algonquin. The vehicle can be found parked underneath in a small garage with no garage door. (Multiplayer only)
- Can be spawned via the player's phone by dialing: 272-555-8265 ("APC"-555-"TANK").
- At Yusuf Amir's construction site after shooting all 50 seagulls and after the mission For the Man Who Has Everything is completed.

Initial Gallium3D support was added to Haiku a while ago and AFAIK is being merged over time.
Mesa has been included in the Haiku tree for some time - and now that Gallium3D has been in development, it is now looking to be a most perfect fit for the project! It's great to think we could have hardware accelerated OpenGL 3.2 or newer support on Haiku maybe within a year or two. With an uprated game kit and some nice development tools, it would make a very nice gaming platform.

Is DRM specific to each card GPU, or does the DRM not need to be updated for future GPU?
Another way to ask the same =) Does the DRM contain GPU specific code?
Phoronix: DRM Patches For Linux 2.6.27 Kernel
The Linux 2.6.26 kernel had featured updated Intel and ATI DRM that added the needed kernel support for the ATI R500 and Intel GMA 4500 3D support. While the merge window for the Linux 2.6.27 kernel has already closed, we will hopefully see a few more Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) patches...
Is DRM specific to each card GPU, or does the DRM not need to be updated for future GPU?
Another way to ask the same =) Does the DRM contain GPU specific code?
Yes, a good chunk of the DRM is GPU-specific and the proportion of GPU-specific code is growing as memory management and kernel modesetting are added. Dave Airlie recently re-organized the DRM source code to make it more like a typical kernel driver and to make the GPU-specific portions of the code easier to find and manage.
If you think of DRM as "the kernel driver for graphics" that will give you a pretty good understanding -- with the added complication that most of the same DRM code is also used with FreeBSD, Solaris and other OSes.
So that was what his huge patch was about =)
Does this mean, that AMD will spilt future specifications up in a DRM spec, 2D, 3D, and ISA spec?
Or can it not be divided like that?
Thanks for the DRM ~ "the kernel driver for graphics" =)
Linus Torvalds to David Airlie:

Scary and a little mean sounding maybe, but he /is/ right.
The thing is, I think the DRM folks wanted to get their code into the next volley of major distros....
linus has a point, but sometimes (like this one) he is way too aggressive with expressing his opinion.
i'd be pissed if i were airlied, but i would also have to agree with linus. new stuff comes in merge window, after it's closed - it's bugfixing only.

Playing cards- with alphabet letters on the faces! Perfect for kids shows! Perfect for mentalists! Perfect for using with the Card Duck trick!
And perfect for designing your own tricks- using either the full pack of cards, or individual alphabet cards in place of those in a regular deck.
Though these are not Bicycle back, they are of a high quality linen finish. Big, bold alphabet letters on the faces. Bridge size deck.
This deck contains 54 cards. You'll get 2-As, 2-Bs, 2-Cs, 2-Ds, 3-Es, 2-Fs, 3-Gs, 2-Hs, 2-Is, 2-Js, 2-Ks, 2-Ls, 2-Ms, 3-Ns, 3-Os, 2-Ps, 1-Q, 2-Rs, 3-Ss, 3-Ts, 2-Us, 1-V, 2-Ws, 1-X, 1-Y, 1-Z, and one blank faced card.
BONUS when you buy from MagicTricks.com! You'll also get a set of instructions that will teach you two different ways to force a card, as well as six tricks using Alphabet cards!
These are great to use instead of regular playing cards if you are doing tricks for small children who don't recognize playing card suits. For example, use these cards if you want to use the Card Duck, where you let the duck "find" the card selected by the spectator. Very effective!These cards also work well when doing tricks using the Rabbit In Hat Puppet. Children get a kick out of being able to participate, and they can if you use alphabet cards.Great cards for mentalism routines! For example, you could secretly hide a specific letter card in the middle of a regular Bridge size deck, and do the Cross Cut Force to make the person choose that letter, then "find" that letter in the deck.
Alphabet Card DeckBONUS: printed instructions for TWO ways to force a cardBONUS: printed routines for SIX tricksCards are BRIDGE size, which are slightly narrower than regular Poker size cards.They have a custom back design (they are NOT Bicycle back).

Reasons for Procedure
- Chordee
- Hypospadias with chordee—the opening of the urethra is on the bottom of the penis instead of at the tip of the penis. Hypospadias can make it difficult for the child to urinate while standing. It can also affect sexual function later in life.
Possible Complications
- Shortened penis
- Bleeding
- Need for another operation
- Reaction to the anesthesia
- Infection
- Psychological trauma
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Physical exam, which may include causing an artificial erection to check the degree of curvature
- Blood and urine tests
- A discussion about the anesthesia being used and the potential risks
Description of Procedure
- Releasing tight, shortened foreskin
- Suturing extra tissue on the longer side with permanent or absorbable stitches
- Cutting the lining of the urethra if the urethra is short
How Long Will It Take?
How Much Will It Hurt?
Post-procedure Care
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your child's incisions covered
- Washing your hands and your child's hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your child's healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your child's incisions
- Your child should only engage in light, gentle activities while the penis is healing.
- Follow all of the doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
- Pain that is not controlled with the medication that has been given
- Redness, increased swelling, or tenderness in the penis
- Bleeding from the penis

A joke some people play at parties. It consists of poking your finger first into your own mouth and then into your "friend"'s ear. It was originated on the "SpongeBob SquarePants" cartoon show. SpongeBob played it on Patrick Star.
Patrick: "Did you stick your tongue in my ear, SpongeBob?"
SpongeBob: "No, Patrick--I gave you a Wet Willie!"
Patrick: "Oh, okay. I thought you were doing something gross!"
