- Completely drain EDF control. You do this by killing more and more EDF soldiers & destroying EDF owned property (red dots on the map).

You can do these after you finish the campaign.

- House Arrest

Also, if you get radio messages to hijack a convoy, help with an EDF assault or do an interception, these also count towards your Guerrilla actions total. You do not NEED to finish these before you complete the game, but by using the link below and checking off which ones you complete as you receive them, you'll save yourself a second playthrough.
Here's a link to a list of Radio missions and others actions that aren't on your map from the beginning.
Clean and Righteous! 15
Destroy 5 High Importance targets
When you scroll over an EDF building on your map (Destruction Target - Blue icon) it will tell you the level of importance, some medium and some high. Just destroy 5 High importance targets and the achievement will unlock. If at all possible, try NOT to destroy any bridges that are targets, as this will make some of your transporter pro times a lot harder. Remember to check your progress in the Statistics menu. (Pause menu -> Statistics)
.Warp Speed 15
Beat all Transporter Pro times.
The map icon for these Challenges are the same as the achievement tile. Go to the location and steal the vehicle bringing it back to the target location within the pro time limit. The target location will not be visable until you are in the vehicle. If you leave your vehicle for more than 10 secods, you will fail the mission. Beat all the pro times for theses missions to unlock the achievement.
These are found in each sector of mars. There are 18 total. Check how far along you are in the statistics achievement progress menu. Also, check out this thread for hints and tips on beating the pro times.
Got Any Fingers Left? 15
Beat all Pro times in Demolitions Master.
The map icon for these challenges looks just like the achievement tile. You must beat the pro time of each Demolition challenge to get this. The challenge involve different ways of taking down structures. Usually, the best way is to go for the lower supports and let the building topple over itself.
These are found in each sector of mars. There are 16 total. Check how far along you are in the statistics achievement progress menu. Also, check out this thread for hints and tips on beating pro times.

Lost Memories 25
Locate all missing radio tags.
Radio tags are hidden all throughout Mars. They are marked on your map by a very small blinking green dot. There are 36 total. Check how far along you are in the statistics achievement progress menu.
Working the Land 25
Mine all ore locations.
Ore is mined from Ore crystals. These are piles of black crystal that pretty much just look like black rock. When you find one, push or with your sledgehammer and break it a part and you'll see a small Red crystal pop out. THIS is ore. Collect it and move one. There are 300 ore mines throughout the game and (as of now) they are NOT marked in any way on your map. Check how far along you are in the statistics achievement progress menu.
Free Your Mind 25
Destroy all instances of propaganda.
Propaganda is billboards that are posted up around the game. Just destroy the billboard and that's one down, 49 to go! The easiest way to take them down is when you are driving and see one just smash into the pole and watch it go down. Destroy 50 and the achievement will unlock. There are more than 50 in the campaign, so this should not be too hard.
One Man Army 25
Complete 25 killing sprees during the Campaign.
You will start a killing spree when you kill 3 soldiers back to back. You will get a notification on the right side of your screen when you have a killing spree. Sprees accumulate after 3 kills. Get 25 separate sprees to unlock the achievement.
Disaster Area 50
Destroy 1 billion credits worth of EDF property.
EDF property consists of bases, vehicles, structures and supplies. Basically, if you can blow it up, it counts. You will get this through the course of the campaign. You do not need to complete this before finishing the campaign, you can continue destroying EDF property after you've liberated Mars. Remember you can keep track of how much damage you have caused by checking the Statistics in the pause menu.
Broken Supply Line 10
Destroy 250 EDF supply crates.
These are big blue crates found near EDF buildings, When you smash one, you will get a notification in the top left corner of your screen telling you how many you have destroyed. Find 250 to unlock this achievement as there are more than 250 crates in the game Just destroy them whenever you see them.
Power to the People 10
Raise the Morale of 3 sectors to 100%.
I suggest when doing this achievement you start with the first 3 sectors to get it out of the way. All you have to do is for each sector just finish a couple side missions and then do the regular missions. For each mission you will get a certain amount of morale. If you press back to find the mission you can highlight it and it will tell you how much morale you will receive for completing the mission.
Remember that the sectors don't have to all be at 100% at once, so you can get one at 100%, then let it drop to 90% and then go liberate another sector to 100%. It still counts as 2 sectors at 100% even though the first is at 90%.
Tank Buster 10
Blow up 100 small hydrogen tanks.
Hydrogen tanks are small blue tanks that can be found around mars. You can pick them up using the button. You can also throw them using the . They are great for helping to take down structures. Just shoot 100 of them and this will unlock.
Best Friends Forever 10
Kill 100 EDF with the sledgehammer during the Campaign.
The sledgehammer is your first weapon on the game. Kill 100 EDF soldiers with it to get this achievement. Use the and for different attacks while the hammer is selected.
Coming Down! 10
Destroy 50 EDF owned buildings.
Simply destroy 50 different EDF buildings in the campaign (ones that are marked on your map). You should get this fairly quick in the campaign. Check your progress in the pause menu under Stats.
Freed Space 10
Destroy 50 EDF flyers.
You will start to see these when you are liberating your 2nd settlement. Easy way to take them out is Heat seeking rocket (which can be purchased from the supply shop at all safe houses about half way through the game) If you don't have that yet, you can use your assault rifle (takes about 2 clips on Casual). Remote mines will also work if they are close to the ground, but it's kind of a waste if you keep throwing and missing.
There is also a few missions were you need to cause as much damage as possible while on the gunner seat of a vehicle. This is a great chance to rack up a few kills because your alert level is high and they will just keep coming at you until the mission is over. You can check you how many more you need to take down in the statistics achievement progress menu.
Just the Beginning 5
Win a Matchmaking match.
Go into matchmaking and select any game mode. As long as you are on the winning side, you'll get this achievement.
Start of Something Special 5

As it says, just play 5 different Matchmaking games. You must stay until the end of each game to get this achievement.
Doing Your Part 10
Kill 10 enemies in a Matchmaking Match.
Get 10 kills in any ONE match. Should come fairly easy to most. An easy way to get kills is to use the cloaking backpack and the sledgehammer, as it's a one hit kill.
Juggernaut 5
Destroy a Siege target.
A siege match is where you attack the other teams buildings/bridges and try to destroy them. You do this for half of the match and then you switch to the defense side. When attacking, just be the player to deliver the final blow to one of the targets - you do not have to inflict all of the damage. This will unlock as the target comes down.
Doozer 5
Reconstruct a Damage Control target.
Just use your Reconstruct tool (in your inventory as the wrench in the achievement tile) to fix a destroyed target. Use to rebuild. This can also be used as a weapon if an enemy comes at you while you are building, so you don't have to switch weapons.
Grab Some Popcorn 5
Enter Spectator mode and enjoy the show!
From the main menu, go to Xbox Live and scroll down to Spectator mode. Select any play list you want and simply watch the game. You must stay for the entire game. When the match ends, you will unlock this achievement.

Party Time 10
Play all Wrecking Crew modes once.
Do as much damage as possible! All you have to do for this one is play one game of each mode. You can not change the time limit like other multiplayer achievements, but these are short matches for the most part, as long as you put the 'rounds to win' to 1. The modes are:
- Total Chaos
- Escalation
- Barrel Dash
- Rampage
Can't Get Enough 20
Play every mode on all maps in Wrecking Crew.
Just play each mode listed in the 'Party Time' achievement on each map. There's not that many maps, but it means 4 games on each of them, so 24 matches total. Most matches are 1 minute except for Rampage, that's 3 minutes. The maps are:
- Complex
- Watch Tower
- Vista
- Factory
- Cascade
- Pipeline
Wrecking Ball 40
Score 25 million points worth of destruction in Wrecking Crew.
This is accumulative for all of your wrecking crew games. You can check your progress in the Statistics menu, hit to take you to the achievement progress. Just inflict as much damage as possible in each match. Turn barrels 'ON' & Building Collapse to 'High'. These will both help you take down buildings faster.
Try these setting:
Mode: Total Chaos
Map: Complex
Weapon: Thermobaric Rocket
Building Collapse: High
Barrels: On
Players, Backpack, and Rounds to Win can be set to whatever helps.
Right when the game starts, immediately begin shooting rockets at the nearest building, aim at the lowest level to get the most points. You can easily rack up to 100,000 to 150,000 every round.
Red Faction Member 50
Play online with another player who has completed the Campaign.
Once you have completed the campaign, just play a multiplayer game with someone else who has also completed the game. The achievement should unlock at the end of the match.

Hey FX...I bought the strategy guide with this game and I am pretty sure it has maps with the locations of the collectibles, radios, etc.... I am at work right now but when I get home, I can double check. If youre interested, I can look into scanning them and posting them. Msg me on Live or PM here if you are interested.

Also for:
Free Your Mind 25
Destroy all instances of propaganda.
Propaganda is billboards that are posted up around the game. Just destroy the billboard and that's one down(however many more to go). The easiest way to take them down is when you are driving and see one just smash into the pole and watch it go down. Of course you can use explosives

Great, thanks a lot guys!
- Updated the crate achievement to reflect many more than 250 in the game.
- Added info on Morale achievement and propaganda achievement. Credit given.
DVDMANPA - Yeah, if you want to scan in the maps, that would be great. I think I'll pick it up tonight just to have exact numbers of XP needed for the bonus XP and add that in. Just make another thread and I'll link people to it from the guide.
Keep the suggestions coming. Much appreciated!

From what I have seen credits to people are usually done at the end, just letting you know, its your guide do how you want :P I prefer where you put them.
Also do you/anyone know how to get the thermo rocket in MP? I want to get it w/o boosting in custom. I just have no idea what levels have the weapon on em. I think you have to get the regular rocket launcher then find the thermo rockets, because I found the thermo in one level but it wouldnt let me grab it. So anyone know where and how to get it?

Also the achievement Red Dawn is received on completing the game; no need to anything else except ... to beat the last mission.
The Juggernaut achievement; me and my friends received it, just for making a lot of damage on the building.
Disaster Area & Coming Down will come with destroying every blue icon on the map as well as finishing the story line.

If I don't get pro times on the transporter side quests, can I go back after beating the game to redo them? I am getting tired of driving the same course and missing the pro time by 3 seconds. ><

Press release from PR Newswire
China Mobile and Clearwire Announce Agreement on TD-LTE Device Test Specifications and Joint Interoperability Testing Plan
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
China Mobile and Clearwire Announce Agreement on TD-LTE Device Test Specifications and Joint Interoperability Testing Plan09:00 EST Tuesday, January 17, 2012-- Joint Testing Platform and Testing Environment for Global TD-LTE Configuration to Accelerate Development of Global 4G Standard in Conjunction with Other GTI Operators -- TD-LTE's Broad Global Reach to Billions of Potential Customers Provides Significant Economies of ScaleHONG KONG and BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Mobile (NYSE: CHL, HKEx: 0941), the world's largest mobile network and customer base in the world, and Clearwire Corporation (Nasdaq: CLWR), a leading provider of 4G wireless broadband services in the United States, today announced, in conjunction with the Global TD-LTE Initiative (GTI), an agreement on common test specifications and joint interoperability testing (IOT) for TD-LTE devices in the global band configurations, including 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz. This important step forward will enable the companies to further accelerate development of the TD-LTE device ecosystem, especially in multi-mode, multi-band LTE devices.Beginning this month, China Mobile, Clearwire and other GTI operators will establish 4G mobile broadband labs featuring a joint test platform and IOT environment for TD-LTE devices. The expected availability of the Quad-Band LTE 2.3-2.7 GHz spectrum range, in addition to certain other bands like 1.9GHz, as well as FDD and TD-LTE mobility interactions, makes it an ideal global configuration for mass 4G marketing worldwide. The labs will allow for the evaluation and qualification of commercial TD-LTE devices simultaneously in the U.S., China, and other promising markets, using common testing methodology, equipment, and infrastructure. "The unmatched spectrum portfolio underlying Clearwire's planned LTE network has the potential to deliver faster speeds and with greater capacity than any current or proposed 4G network in the United States," said Dr. John Saw, chief technology officer of Clearwire. "Close collaboration with global wireless leader China Mobile accelerates the development of multi-mode multi-band TD-LTE and LTE FDD devices and provides the common test specifications OEMs, ODMs, chipset vendors and other critical component manufacturers need to rapidly develop and commercialize products to serve this massive global marketplace.""Converged with LTE FDD, TD-LTE has become the major global 4G technology for unpaired spectrum," said Mr. Li Zhengmao, Vice President of China Mobile. "Our goal is to build efficient, low cost common infrastructure and terminal for different global markets with different spectrum to support mobile internet. By closely working with global operators such as Clearwire, we could leverage the experience, expertise, and scale to achieve this goal.

NWA loses $8M in 4Q, but shows 2nd year of profit
Northwest Airlines joined its competitors in reporting dreary fourth-quarter figures, surprising few investors or Wall Street, given the price of fuel.
Tuesday, the airline reported a loss of $8 million, or 3 cents a share, including a $14 million loss due to the sale of interest in Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines.
Without that expense, Northwest says it would have broken even, despite the cost of fuel, which was up more than 21 percent.
"Our fourth-quarter numbers are consistent with our expectations," said Doug Steenland, president and chief executive. "Our numbers are strong and reflect the success of the restructuring we have gone through."
Wall Street expected losses of 8 cents a share in a quarter that is traditionally beset by bad weather and that includes many more leisure travelers than business travelers.
AirTran and JetBlue, which also reported Tuesday, both lost money in the quarter. AirTran lost $2.2 million, or 2 cents a share, and JetBlue lost $4 million, also 2 cents a share.
Northwest shares have lost more than a quarter of their value since the company emerged from bankruptcy in May. The stock fell sharply in December as crude oil prices rose, tumbling as low as $10.70, but has since recovered amid anticipation of a possible merger with Delta Air Lines.
Shares closed at $18.50 Tuesday, up 3.12 percent.
For the whole year, Northwest climbed to profitability for the second consecutive year, posting profits of $764 million -- 154 percent improvement over its 2006 numbers, excluding bankruptcy costs.
Those numbers, the airline says, are proof that the restructuring positioned the company to compete even with low-cost carriers.
Since 2005, Northwest says, pretax profits are up $2.1 billion, giving it the highest pretax margin of any of the network carriers.
"The good news is that Northwest is a one mean, lean flying machine," said Terry Trippler, travel consultant in Minneapolis. "They've got their costs down to the lowest of anybody. That is truly good news and speaks highly of the management who got the prices down."
But Trippler expects Northwest will soon have to start giving back to keep peace in the house, saying that all companies eventually have to be able to make a profit selling their product, not cutting wages.
"I would prefer to go the airport and have the people working there be there because it is their life, not a part-time job."
Northwest says it is already giving back, paying out $125 million in 2007 in profit-sharing and performance benefits, up nearly 175 percent over last year.
For travelers who remember the meltdown last summer when Northwest canceled hundreds of flights in June and July because it didn't have crews to fly them, the money is well spent.
But even without fuel prices, those costs contributed to higher expenses in the fourth quarter, Northwest said, including a 5-plus percent increase in the cost of flying one passenger one mile, an industry measure of efficiency, partly because it cut seating capacity, hoping to drive up ticket prices.
It expects to continue paring back seats this year, telling Wall Street Tuesday that capacity for the year will range from a negative 0.5 percent to 0.5 percent, with domestic mainline jets taking 5.5-6.5 percent, the biggest cut in the network.
If the economy makes it necessary to reduce even more, Steenland said Northwest has enough flexibility in its pilot contract to cut flying without infringing on pilot work hours.
Analysts expect cuts most of the year.
The "2008 earnings picture looks tough for airlines as the economy shows signs of strain and fuel reaches new records on a regular basis," Lehman Brothers analyst Garrett Chase wrote in a research note this month.
Consolidation is one way to cut capacity and help airlines manage out-of-whack balance sheets.
Chase estimates a combination of Delta Air Lines and either Northwest or UAL Corp.'s United Airlines could cut industry capacity by 3.5 percent.
Others, including Michael Boyd, say the smarter money is with carriers strengthening alliances instead of trying to merge disparate unions and work cultures.
Since Northwest and Delta are in the SkyTeam alliance, a global conglomeration of carriers that offer code-sharing flights and frequent-flier reci-procity, he says it makes sense to choose each other instead of United, which is a member of a different alliance.
"Why go through the brain drain of a merger if you don't have to?" he asks.
Northwest, Delta, Air France and KLM are seeking approval from antitrust regulators for a four-way agreement that would give them freedom to plan routes and coordinate schedules.
Steenland expects immunity will be granted soon, especially since the Justice Department did not file any comments against the alliance.
"I think one could read into that that Justice sees no international competitive impact," he said. "I think that is a conclusion one could draw."
He did not comment on a Delta-Northwest merger specifically.
Trippler says a four-way alliance with Northwest and Delta and the two European carriers would be a boon for Memphis.
"What these things do is benefit people because they grease the skids for cooperation," he said. "Memphis itself does not have enough passengers to fill a daily flight to Amsterdam. But because Northwest and KLM feed people into Memphis for the flight, it works.
"If Justice extends the immunity to include Air France and Delta, you could soon have a Memphis-Paris flight. It certainly could be."

Draft Rumors
The Lakers are waiting out Bryant's extension. Laugh at their tarnished brand if you want, but these guys still get meetings with everyone. Aldridge had serious interest in them when free agency started, per several sources, and the Lakers will eventually learn from three straight summers of unrequited free-agency love. In the meantime, swallow another awful season, develop all the fun young guys, and give yourselves at least a chance of being bad enough to keep the top-three protected pick you owe Philadelphia.
The former Jazz center was back in Utah to preview the first night of the Utah Jazz Summer League, sign autographs, pose for photos and even give some advice to Utah's latest crop of young talent. "I'm blessed, coming out here," Okur told KSL Sports. "Believe it or not, from the first time I got here, to get to see the same fans and new faces, it's great to be back, get to know them and sign pictures and basketballs. "I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to seeing them play in the coming season. They've been incredible, fun to watch, and we've got new draft picks that should be a lot of fun."
The Trey Lyles contract situation may be quickly headed toward a resolution. "We'll have some news for our fans here real short, so no worries," Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey told 1280 The Zone on Monday evening. Lindsey has previously said that, while there were some ongoing negotiations, the primary the hold-up in getting the team's first-round draft pick signed lay with Jazz management, who wanted to keep the player temporarily out of contract in order to maintain a small amount of extra cap space.
Emiliano Carchia: Aleksandar Vezenkov: I will declare for the NBA draft next season but I am not going to Barcelona to stay just one season
Andrew Harrison heard his name called on NBA draft night. Brother Aaron Harrison, of course did not. The Kentucky basketball products are nonetheless now back in the same boat, set to fight for roster spots during NBA summer league play given Andrew's draft choice at No. 44 overall — in the second round — doesn't guarantee a contract. This time last year, he was projected as a first-rounder. "To be honest, all that really doesn't matter," Andrew Harrison said Monday while introduced as a Memphis Grizzlies guard. "I'm here now. I'm just happy to be here. You can't really go back on the past. I'm just happy that I made the decision I made. I enjoyed college for two years, and now I'm just trying to make the team."
Kyle Draper: Ainge made it clear @Terry Rozier was always high on their draft board. Thought they had a diamond in the rough. #Celtics #celticstalk
Scott Souza: #Celtics rookie Jordan Mickey: I'm 6-foot-8. The last team to win a championship had a 6-8 guy as tallest guy on the floor. #GSWarriors Love
Joseph Goodman: Justise Winslow notes that he has spoken with Dwyane Wade since being drafted by the Heat (via @TheTicketMiam).
Carmelo Anthony reached out to Kristaps Porzingis, the New York Knicks' first-round draft pick, on Saturday after reports surfaced that the Knicks star was unhappy with the organization's decision to select the 19-year-old Latvian. "Carmelo reached out to Kris after all of that. It was beautiful that a player of that profile can do something like that. It's great," Porzingis' older brother, Janis, said Monday during an appearance on ESPN 98.7 FM's "The Hahn and Humpty Show."
On Monday morning, Sixers head coach Brett Brown spoke with Malik Rose and Jared Greenberg of SiriusXM NBA Radio about the talented young big man, among other topics. "To think that in three drafts you got Nerlens [Noel], and Joel [Embiid], and Jah (Jahlil Okafor), it's quite an amazing accomplishment when you look at the quality of those bigs," he said. "We always went into [the draft] saying, 'Whoever the best player is, that's who you want.' You really can't get tricked on trying to draft for position, I feel. And if Nerlens hadn't gotten injured, they say [he goes] #1, if Joel hadn't gotten injured, they say #1, and Jahlil, all year, was #1, so the [outlook] of the 2015-16 season is quite positive."
Bobby Ray Parks Jr. was not picked in the recent NBA Draft but was invited by the Dallas Mavericks and will play in the NBA Summer League which starts this July.
Sources repeatedly have told The Post that Shea and former Knicks scout Scott McGuire tried to steer Tapscott away from Weis. Shea admits he was against drafting Ron Artest because of hometown distractions, but won't confirm his feelings on drafting Weis. "I'm always going to be associated with Frederic and I'm never going to say publicly what happened,'' Shea said. "We made a team decision. We were seven people and we all voted and I'm not telling who voted for whom. Scott had an opinion. Kenny Williamson, may he rest in peace, had an opinion. Ed had an opinion and you're not going to get that from me. What happened later to him in summer league had much more an effect on Frederic than who decided to draft him.''
Several team sources said Celtics point guard Marcus Smart — whose name was widely reported to be a part of trade discussions in the days leading up to the draft — was never offered in a deal on Thursday. "If we'd thrown in Marcus Smart, we probably could have done some deals," a team source said. "But we probably would have taken a step back."
Steve Kyler: I was told Magic board was Porzingis then Mario… but we'll never know if that's how it would have played twitter.com/Orlandoyankees…
Ira Winderman: Addd Juwan Howard Jr. to list of candidates for the Heat summer league roster. He went undrafted out of Detroit Mercy. Dad a Heat assistant.
Orazio Cauchi: Not a surprise at all but Luka Mitrovic, 60th pick in the 2015 NBA draft, will remain overseas next season, per source.
White, however, may begin his professional basketball career elsewhere. The 6-foot-8 Ohio native is a "draft-and-stash" candidate, meaning he could sign with a team in a league overseas while Washington holds his rights should he return to attempt to make the Wizards' roster in the future. A decision has not yet been made. "Aaron will play Summer League with the Wizards and then we will evaluate if it is best to go overseas or not this season," White's agent, Chris Emens, wrote in an e-mail. "Aaron is open to doing whatever the Wizards think is best for his development."
The Sacramento Kings introduced Kentucky's Willie Cauley-Stein, their first-round draft choice, to the local media on Saturday. He was on a day-long, meet-and-greet Sacramento tour. "He's somebody who can really help us improve our team," said Kings executive Vlade Divac at the news conference introducing his new player. He said Cauley-Stein brings skills to help the team on both offense and defense. "He's fast. I wouldn't like to play against him," said Divac, who was pretty quick for big man himself when he was in the NBA with the Kings, Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets.
Josh Robbins: All indications suggest Mario Hezonja's Barcelona buyout will be finalized as early as Monday, a league source tells the OS.
On Thursday, Christian Wood became one of the most worst stories of the NBA Draft: He went undrafted, despite thinking he would hear his name called, resulting in disappointment captured in a heartbreaking photo. But on Twitter on Saturday, Wood delivered some good news: His dream of going to the league is still alive with a spot on the Rockets' summer league team. Christian Wood: Excited to be apart of @HoustonRockets cant wait to start summer league and begin to work and grind thanks @dmorey #RedNation #JustWait
One day after he ignored the seemingly-endless threats from the DeMarcus Cousins' camp and drafted a big man in Kentucky's Willie Cauley-Stein with the sixth pick who should fit quite nicely alongside his disgruntled big man if he suits up for the Kings next season, Divac made it clear that he's not about to be bullied in his new role. "I just was tired last week, or days, of these rumors, and putting a lot of stuff on our back, making this even harder than it is," Divac said in an interview with Sacramento radio station KHTK 1140 Friday morning. "I try to be who I am, and try to do my job best I can and try to do the best I can for the franchise. I'm not going to let somebody change my mind because they're putting (threats in) the paper or putting the pressure on me. I'll do the best I can to improve this team."
So when Fegan tried to orchestrate a trade that would send Cousins to the Los Angeles Lakers in the days leading up to the draft – one that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive gave him permission to pursue when he made it clear that Cousins wanted out – it wouldn't have shocked anyone if Divac decided to do the deal just to quiet this storm. Instead, he's trying to fix a fractured situation on his terms.

Product description
Three families live in the seaside village of Frip -- the Romos, the Ronsens, and a little girl named Capable and her widowed father. The townspeople of Frip make their living raising goats, but they must fight off a daily invasion of gappers, bright orange, many-eyed creatures that cover goats and stop them from giving milk. When the gappers target Capable's goats, the Romos and the Ronsens turn their backs on the gapper-ridden Capable. What will Capable do about her gapper plague? An imaginative tale by acclaimed author George Saunders accented with haunting illustrations by award-winning illustrator Lane Smith, The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip is an adult story for children, a children's story for adults, an oceanside fable for the landlocked, a fish story for loaves, and a fable about the true meaning of community.

Geographic Range
Cephalophus rufilatus, or red-flanked duikers, are found throughout central, western Africa. While members of the genus Cephalophus are common throughout most African forests, red-flanked duikers are one of only a few duiker species which have distributions outside African equatorial rain forests. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Red-flanked duikers thrive along the transition zones of savanna-forests and along drainage lines. These habitats are characterized by tall grass (primarily elephant grass, Pennisetum purpureum) and shrubs, (Capparis, Acanthus arboreus and others) and provide ample grazing opportunities and suitable cover from predators. (Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
- Habitat Regions
- tropical
- terrestrial
- Terrestrial Biomes
- savanna or grassland
- forest
- rainforest
Physical Description
Red-flanked duikers have an orange-red coat which is lighter on the ventral side. They have a dark grey-black stripe along their dorsal midline, which extends from the tail to the shoulders and continues across the face onto the muzzle. The lower legs are also dark grey-black in color and give the animal the appearance of wearing stockings. ("IUCN World Conservation Union", 2003; Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Full grown males possess short black horns which project straight back from the forehead. Though usually absent, horns may also be present in females. If present, they are shorter on average than in males. In males horn length varies from 6 to 9.5 cm and from 3 to 4 cm in females. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984; Pfefferkorn, 2005)
Cephalophus species, in general, are unique in that they possess preorbital glands that differ in their anatomy from other African antelope. These glands are located beyond the eyes on the snout (unlike other antelope) and form visible bulges in the cheeks. Red-flanked duikers have the largest preorbital glands of all duiker species. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)

Mating behaviors of red-flanked duikers is not described in detail in the literature. Mating behaviors of species in the genus Cephalophus, however, are relatively homogenous. Courtship is characterized by following, biting, and licking of the female's genitalia by the male from a few days prior to estrus (which lasts a day), and until copulation. During estrus, female duiker squat unusually low while urinating. When urine-testing for pheromones, female urine elicits a response in which males wrinkle their upper lips in a distinctive grimace. Female duikers demonstrate sexual receptivity by swelling and reddening of the vulva. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Among captive male duikers, competition for mates takes the form of charging, aggressive chasing, head butting, and biting. Male competitive aggression in the wild has not been observed perhaps because individual home ranges are typically widely separated. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
- Mating System
- monogamous
Red-flanked duiker births have been observed in the dry season and the early wet season. Red-flanked duikers typically give birth to a single young. Gestation lasts between 223 and 245 days. Birth weights average around 1000 g. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Newborn red-flanked duikers independently seek cover amid vegetation, exposing themselves only when nursing. Female red-flanked duikers mark their young with secretions from their preorbital glands directly after birth and when grooming. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)

Post-gestation parental investment in the genus Cephalophus is relatively low. Outside of nursing, red-flanked duikers occasionally groom their young and nurse them. They otherwise leave the young under cover of vegetation. They are weaned and feed independently at a weight of approximately 9 kg. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984; Pfefferkorn, 2005)

The average lifespan of red-flanked duikers in the wild is five years and is most likely limited by predation. Red-flanked duikers have lived to be over 15 years old in captivity. (Huffman, 2006; Pfefferkorn, 2005)

Red-flanked duikers are most active during the early morning and late evening, when they spend most of their time browsing for food. Red flanked duikers are relatively sedentary, occupying the same home range for a period of a few months before moving onto new territory. When actively feeding, red-flanked duikers are constantly alert and are easily provoked into escape behaviors. They drop their heads and dive into nearby vegetation when startled; a response that is characteristic for the genus Cephalophus. The common name duiker originates from the Afrikaans word DIKE-er meaning diving buck. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Red-flanked duikers, unlike other duiker species, do not engage in social play or reciprocal allogrooming. These two behaviors are common in other species of the genus Cephalophus. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
- Key Behaviors
- cursorial
- terricolous
- diurnal
- crepuscular
- motile
- sedentary
- solitary
- territorial
Home Range
In the wild, red-flanked duiker occupy distinct home ranges, which rarely overlap. Within a particular home range, they live alone or in pairs. Greater congregations are occasionally spotted around water sources. Red-flanked duikers mark their browsing territory with odiferous secretions from their preorbital glands. These home ranges are small compared to other antelope and are occupied for a period of a few months before they are abandoned for new territory. (Estes, 1991; Hofmann and Roth, 2003; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984; Pfefferkorn, 2005)
Communication and Perception
Red-flanked duikers have acute senses of hearing and smell, which are superior to those of humans and can make observations of red-flanked duikers challenging. They emit a shrill bark to communicate with their young and when threatened. Red-flanked duikers are also sensitive to territorial scent marking by other members of the species. (Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
- Other Communication Modes
- pheromones
- scent marks
Food Habits
Red-flanked duikers are herbivorous and have been described as browsers. They feed primarily within a meter of the ground and do not spend considerable time in any area. Their diet consists mainly of leaves and fruits, but also includes flowers and twigs. One study of the stomach contents of C. rufilatus indicated a preference for feeding on fruits in secondary forest patches of the moist savanna. (Hofmann and Roth, 2003; Huffman, 2006)
Red-flanked duikers feed on the following plant species: Phoenix reclinata, Nauclea latifolia, Ficus capensis, Iliostigma thonningii, Mucuna flagellipes, Spondias mombin, Pterocarpus erinaceous, Bridelia micrantha, Vitex domiana, Annoa senegalensis, Phyllanthus muellerianus, Cola milleni, Fiscus capensis, Blighia sapida, and Gmellina aborea. (Hofmann and Roth, 2003; Huffman, 2006)
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- fruit
- flowers
Red-flanked duikers are preyed on by leopards (Panthera pardus), eagles (Harpyhaliaetus coronatus), pythons (Python reticulatus) and humans. Among all of their predators, humans take the greatest number. Red-flanked duikers rely heavily on early detection of threats and have highly sensitive hearing. They dive into dense undergrowth when threats are detected. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984; Pfefferkorn, 2005)
- Known Predators
- leopards (Panthera pardus)
- eagles (Harpyhaliaetus coronatus)
- pythons (Python reticulatus)
- humans (Homo sapiens)
Ecosystem Roles
Red-flanked duikers feed heavily on the fruit bearing species Phoenix reclinata, Nauclea latifolia, and Ficus capensis. It is likely that they are important seed dispersers of these plant species. (Dipeolu and Akinboade, 1984; Hofmann and Roth, 2003; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
Species in the genus Cephalophus are also hosts to several parasite species. The blood parasite Anaplasma marginale is commonly carried by red-flanked duikers. Ticks such as Rhipicephalus decoloratus and Amblyomma variegatum, are also carried by members of the genus Cephalophus. Interestingly, one study of tick reproduction found that ticks extracted from red-flanked duikers produce more eggs than those extracted from cattle in the same region. (Dipeolu and Akinboade, 1984; Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
- Anaplasma marginale
- Rhipicephalus decoloratus
- Amblyomma variegatum
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Red-flanked duikers are hunted for their meat, pelts and for sport. The predictability of their flight behavior (see Behavior section) has led them to be exploited by hunters who snare them in nets placed in shrubs and tall grass. (Estes, 1991; Huffman, 2006; Kingdon, 1984; Pfefferkorn, 2005)
- Positive Impacts
- food
- body parts are source of valuable material
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known adverse effects of red-flanked duikers on humans, though they may occasionally browse on farmland. (Huffman, 2006)
Conservation Status
Currently (April 2006) C. rufilatus is listed as lower risk by the IUCN. Hunting for bush meat and deforestation pose the greatest threat to wild populations of red-flanked duikers. To date, there have been no conservation projects aimed at protecting populations of this species in the wild. ("IUCN World Conservation Union", 2003; Pfefferkorn, 2005)
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern

Other Comments
Because of their morphology, social behavior, and diet, duikers have been interpreted as models of primitive bovid ancestors, despite the fact that there is no fossil record supporting duiker ancestry. Key physical traits, however, may link duikers to neotragine antelopes. Research on duikers in captivity has also demonstrated that all duikers share similar behaviors in reproduction, locomotion and excretion, while additionally demonstrating differences from other bovids, perhaps related to differing life conditions. The presence of these specialized characteristics has been argued as further evidence that the genus Cephalophus does not represent an analog for primitive, bovid ancestors.

Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 1/16/13
On Wednesday, a pair of Michigan State basketball players were involved in an altercation which resulted in a busted lip and a dented wall.Head coach Tom Izzo identified the players as forward Branden Dawson and center Adreian Payne via statement. Neither player started the Spartans' game against Penn State on Wednesday as punishment."A scuffle that began as two players needling each other resulted in a dented wall," Izzo said in his statement. "We'll deal with this appropriately, and the players will willingly accept responsibility for paying for any property damage. I've spent my entire afternoon meeting with the players involved, and they are both sincerely remorseful. What makes matters even more confusing is that they are off-campus roommates. As a result of their actions, neither one will start tonight's game."The incident was said to have occurred in the second-floor lobby of the Nittany Lion Inn during the morning. Michigan State will be asked to pay for the damage to the wall.No arrests or charges have been made. Neither play needed medical attention after sustaining just minor scratches.Dawson is averaging 10.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game this season. Payne is averaging 8.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest.Via Detroit Free Press
