One of the most powerful weapons in the Grand Theft Auto series, the Minigun is based off various US minigun models, appearing in various forms in since its introduction. The Minigun is available for use in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto Advance, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
Also, despite not being heldable by the player, Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes included a vehicle mounted version on the Annihilator and Buzzard helicopters.
GTA III games
The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas renditions are based on a man portable
version of the M134 Minigun, while the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories version is based off the M197 tri-barreled Gatling. It has an incredible rate of fire and can annihilate most vehicles in almost less than a second around a certain radius. In Vice City, the minigun was perfect for mowing down targets level with the player, however, it could not be aimed manually. Instead, it shoots upwards automatically to E.G. helicopters, similar to the Rhino. In GTA San Andreas, thanks to the new aiming system, the minigun could be pointed in any direction, making shooting higher targets much easier, but also dangerous if the helicopter would crash into the ground and explode dangerously close to the player. It is almost 100% accurate as there is no recoil, but it can't lock on to a target which isn't much of a problem due to the very high power of each individual round and the amount of ammo it carries. Once equipped with a minigun, it's possible to complete some mission objectives that usually require other weaponry, such as the gun emplacement in Up, Up and Away!. In San Andreas the gun can only be found at spawn points (or provided during missions) and cannot be purchased at Ammu-Nation. In San Andreas a mounted Minigun is used in several missions with unlimited ammunition. These missions include Air Raid, The Da Nang Thang, and Up, Up and Away!.
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the player can both lock onto a target and shoot manually with the minigun.
Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars also features the minigun as an available weapon. In GTA Chinatown Wars, it is the most expensive weapon in the game, costing $10,000 from Ammu-Nation.
GTA IV games
For Grand Theft Auto IV, the minigun was planned to be the second heavy weapon, the first one being the rocket launcher, but it was dropped in the end, due to unknown reasons. By using the remaining data in-game, it appears to carry a 750-bullet load and to be able to kill any person (armored or not) with one shot, making it the most powerful weapon in the game. Miniguns are also mounted on Annihilator and Buzzard helicopters. Both fire normal 7.62×51 millimeter cartridges, but the Annihilator fires about 1,000 rounds per minute, which is unrealistically slow, by about 5,000 rounds per minute. This is probably to prevent helicopter pilots from being able to literally shred players and vehicles. In The Lost and Damned, the helicopters' top speed is increased and the minigun ammunition is replaced by highly explosive cartridges that tear pedestrians, cars, motorcycles, and even other helicopters and boats apart. On the Buzzard, which only appears on The Ballad of Gay Tony, there are 2 miniguns mounted, which do not overheat or need to reload and fire about 4-6,000 rounds per minute.
Grand Theft Auto V
The minigun is confirmed to appear in GTA V. The minigun is coloured military green and appears to be of a smaller model compared to previous games. It is similar in size to the model found in LCS and VCS.
In-Game Model
HUD Icons
GTA Vice City
- Little Haiti - On the top floor of the remains of the drug processing plant west of the Little Haiti Well Stacked Pizza Co. after completion of Trojan Voodoo.
- Little Haiti - Available to buy from Phil's Place after completion of Boomshine Saigon ($10,000).

- Starfish Island - Spawns outside the Vercetti Estate after collecting 60 hidden packages.
GTA San Andreas
- Kincaid Bridge, San Fierro - On top of the southern arch of the bridge. It's not accessible until the desert and Las Venturas are unlocked, because a ghost wall is blocking the player to get the weapon. A jetpack, parachute or helicopter is also needed to get to the location.
- Roca Escalante, Las Venturas - On the bottom-most level of an underground parking lot, in front of an elevator. Caution must be exercised when approaching the parkade as the previously empty structure will usually suddenly spawn a large number of vehicles when entered.
- Rockshore East, Las Venturas - On top of some scaffolding in the building site, requires climbing and jumping skills or jetpack.
- Area 69, Bone County - Inside the base in a control room. The room is accessible during the mission, "Black Project", if entered outside the mission using blue hell glitches, the player gains 5 star wanted level.
- Tierra Robada, Las Venturas - Inside Mike Toreno's ranch after completing Vertical Bird.
- In addition, Carl uses mounted miniguns in the missions Air Raid, Da Nang Thang, and Up, Up and Away!, though only briefly in Da Nang Thang. If Carl is equipped with his own minigun he can use it in lieu of the mounted one in Up, Up and Away!
Note: the minigun uses the same weapon slot as the rocket launchers and flamethrower, and will therefore be replaced should any of those other weapons be equipped, such as during a mission.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Bedford Point, Staunton Island - Can be bought at Phil Cassidy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop upon completing the mission More Deadly Than the Male. ($10,000)
GTA Vice City Stories
- Vice Point - Can be bought from the Ammu-Nation shop after completing the storyline mission, Farewell to Arms for $15,000 but the price decreases to $11,500 if the player completes Phil's Shooting Range challenge.

Am I eligible for TA?
Active Duty Member
Service requirements - Enlisted
Active duty enlisted members must meet all requirements set forth in ALCOAST 404/14 in order to utilize TA.
Active duty members must complete the TA authorized course(s) on or prior to RELAD, discharge or retirement.
If member is going to RELAD and provides documentation showing that he/she will be in the SELRES, then TA authorized course(s) may begin in active duty status and be completed in SELRES status.
Service requirements - Officer
Active duty officers must meet all requirements set forth in ALCOAST 404/14 in order to utilize TA.
TA is NOT authorized for:
Member's pursuing an additional degree at the same or lower level regardless of how they received their first degree.
Any course for which the member is receiving assistance under any other Federally funded program where such a payment would constitute a duplication of benefits from the Federal Treasury. In cases where Federal grant monies are credited to the student's institution account, the credited portion will not be reimbursed by Tuition Assistance. NOTE: TA may be used when a member is receiving "financial aid" such as a student loan, Sallie Mae, Stafford loan, etc. However, per COMDTINST M1500.10C, "TA is to be calculated after grants, scholarships and fellowships have been deducted from the cost of tuition, with the exception of Pell Grants." These grants are needs based and therefore may be used by the student to defray any educational related expense.
Course tuition paid for by primary employer (not Coast Guard). If only a portion of the tuition is paid for by primary employer, member may submit TA request for the remainder of the tuition.
Audited courses: Courses students are not officially registered for nor earn grade or credit.
Courses beginning in a subsequent fiscal year. The course start date determines the fiscal year funding to be used for accounting purposes.
Courses previously paid for using TA are not authorized further TA payments. (ie. Courses previously completed when the member received a "final grade of D or better", or a course which has been waived by the CG Institute.)
Physical education or recreation courses, unless the courses are required by the institution for degree completion, or the member is a candidate for a degree with a major in physical education or recreation and has not been awarded the physical education credits recommending by ACE for military training.
Courses when a member is in a duty-under-instruction status (DUINS) and the member's educational fees are being paid through another Coast Guard program.
Coast Guard members that are inmates in military, state, or federal prisons.
Undergraduate students who's average GPA is less than 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for the previous 12 semester hours completed under TA. In this case, the TA database (NCMIS) will lock the member's account and further CG TA will not be authorized. Forward grade report showing GPA of at least 2.1 or higher for all courses regardless of TA usage to the CG Institute TAG Division which will coordinate the resolution with the Navy.
Chaplains (funded through Navy TA).
Members in advanced education programs.
Graduate students whose academic average for previous 12 semester hours is "less than a grade of "B" (or less than 3.0 on a 4.0 scale).
A second degree at the same or lower educational level if the first degree was funded, in whole or in part, with CG TA. (i.e. if the applicant already has a bachelors degree funded by TA, then TA shall not be authorized for another bachelors degree).
Courses resulting in Continuing Education Units (CEUs), or Professional Development Units (PDUs). Courses credited in contact hours or clock hours. This includes courses converted from contact/clock to quarter/semester hours (usually applies to certificate programs). Students and ESOs/ESSs need to be careful not to approve courses from schools who convert clock hours to credit hours in order to avoid CG TA funds collection.
TA from another military service. TA is not authorized from any other service. CG members must go through a CG Educational Service Officer (ESO or ESS) to process the TA application.
Preparatory courses, Licenses (maritime, real estate, AC&R, etc.), or Tests (GMAT, GRE, LSAT), Certification Courses (computer, maritime, law, medical, etc.)
Contract and Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) employees.

The Pentagon's inspector general is criticizing Camp Lejeune officials for inadequate and incomplete handling of a Marine's rape complaint against a member of her unit who later murdered her.
A report released Friday by Department of Defense inspectors criticized the response of military criminal investigators, sexual assault advocacy workers and unit commanders after Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach reported she was sexually assaulted in 2007.
Lauterbach, of Vandalia, Ohio, had accused former Cpl. Cesar Laurean of raping her.
Laurean, who's from Las Vegas, was convicted last year of killing the pregnant Lauterbach with a crowbar and burying her burned remains in the backyard of his off-base home.
The Marines Corps responded by saying there were administrative errors in handling Lauterbach's complaint, but that command leaders responded appropriately overall.

High-Performance Applications Processing for Mobile and Enterprise Markets
Cortex-A series processors scale efficiently across a range of the highest performing consumer, embedded and enterprise devices. These include a spectrum of smartphones, mobile computing platforms, digital TVs, set-top boxes, and rich IoT devices through to enterprise networking, and server solutions. In an increasingly energy-conscious business landscape, the power efficiency of Cortex-A processors can provide significant advantages.
ARM's processors all share a commonly supported architecture and feature set, ensuring compatibility across the range of instruction sets. The high performance Cortex-A17 processor, the mature Cortex-A15, the widely-shipped Cortex-A9, and high-efficiency Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A5 processors all use the same ARMv7-A architecture, and therefore share full application compatibility, including support for the traditional ARM, Thumb® and high-performance Thumb-2 instruction sets. ARM also enables 64-bit computing with its ARMv8-A architecture which is supported by the Cortex-A72, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A35 processors. The ARMv8-A architecture also has a specialized execution state allowing it to process legacy ARM 32-bit applications. This provides an excellent path to upgrade for the existing 32-bit ecosystem and ensures the 64-bit ecosystem is backwards compatible.
High-performance cores such as the Cortex-A72, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A17 and Cortex-A15 processors can be paired with architecturally aligned high efficiency cores like the Cortex-A53, Cortex-A35 and Cortex-A7 processors in a big.LITTLE™ configuration for ARMv8-A and ARMv7-A respectively. This power-optimization technology allows the high-performance core to deliver peak-performance for intensive tasks such as instant webpage loading while background processing is undertaken by high efficiency cores. This is done seamlessly and is transparent to the applications and middleware, resulting in significantly improved overall energy efficiency and an exceptionally responsive user experience. High-performance Cortex-A processors are ideally suited to enable servers to meet the growing need for performance requirements delivered in ever more power-efficient solutions.
With the move to ever increasing driver assist, passive and active safety systems and advanced driver interfaces, the compute power of vehicles is set to significantly increase, and thus ARM Cortex-A processors are increasingly being designed in for safety related automotive applications.
Application Examples$quotepos = 0; ?>
Cortex-A Series Characteristics
Cortex-A processors are specifically designed to execute complex functions and applications such as those required by consumer devices like smartphones and tablets. Their performance efficiency is also making them an increasingly popular choice for servers and enterprise applications where large core clusters can be combined for optimal solutions.
In consumer electronics, Cortex-A processors are ideal for providing fast and immersive connected experiences. Their low-power architecture enables all-day browsing, connectivity, console-quality gaming, technologies such as NEON™ and support for the widest mobile app ecosystem. Across enterprise and networking solutions, Cortex-A processors enable highly scalable solutions to match performance requirements for more power-efficient package transfer, basestations, edge routers and servers.
All Cortex-A based processors share a commonly supported architecture and feature set, with each processor based on either the ARMv7-A or ARMv8-A architecture and feature set. The ARMv8-A architecture has a 64-bit execution state and can also support existing 32-bit applications. This backwards compatibility strengthens the 64-bit ecosystem. This commonality makes them the best solution for open platform design where compatibility and portability of software between designs is of upmost importance.
Cortex-A processors offer support for a rage of full Operating Systems including Linux, as well as others requiring a Memory Management Unit such as Android, Chrome and MontaVista.
On top of the ARMv7-A and ARMv8-A architecture support, Cortex-A series processors have been developed to run a number of architecture extensions to provide support for security (TrustZone®), SIMD, and Advanced SIMD (NEON) technologies. Other extensions and technologies supported by Cortex-A series processors include:
- Instruction Set support - ARM, Thumb, Thumb-2, DSP
- Advanced single and double-precision Floating Point support
- Virtualization
- Large Physical Address Extension (LPAE) addressing up to 1TB of physical memory
- big.LITTLE processing
- Jazelle
ARM has worked closely with its partners to bring the performance and energy efficiency of Cortex-A series processors to Android devices. The vast ARM ecosystem brings with it a deep wealth of mobile knowledge in both hardware and software to maximize the benefits of the Android OS, and to ensure the best possible experience for users. The combination of these benefits makes Android better on ARM.
Multicore Technology
All ARMv7-A and ARMv8-A based processor cores featured in the current ARM Processor Portfolio support ARM's multicore technologies.
- Single to quad-core implementation for performance orientated applications
- Supports symmetric and asymmetric OS implementations
- Coherency throughout the processor exported to system via Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP)
The big.LITTLE compatible processors extend multi-core coherence beyond the 1-4 core clusters with AMBA® 4 ACE (AMBA Coherency Extension) and AMBA 5 CHI (Coherent Hub Interface).
Industry Standard
The success of the Cortex-A processors is built on the innovation of ARM partners who have licensed these processors and developed a wide array of success stories in various markets. Click here for a list of the currently public Silicon Partners.

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.
All stories about Agriculture & Food
Myanmar: Burmese farmers caught in poverty trap
Farming communities in Myanmar's Irrawaddy Delta have always followed a cycle of debt. Each year, wealthy land owners would lend farmers money, tools and cattle needed to till the soil. After the harvest, the debt is repayed and the cycle continues.
Sri Lanka: Financing Higher Yields
Thalankudha, Sri Lanka — When I met farmer Suman Suntharalingam in front of his mud-walled home here, he had just returned from selling 15 pounds of long beans and buying fuel for his water pump — two tasks that could be traced back to help he received from Mercy Corps.
Sri Lanka: Rice and Recovery
Mercy Corps continues to help Sri Lanka "build back better" from the tsunami, and focus on the country's culinary staple — rice — as a way to lift farmers' incomes and protect families against global price shocks.
Afghanistan: The Fruits of a New Beginning
The roads leading outside of Takhar are lined with 10-foot-tall walls, a long line of mud and rock that stretches on for at least five miles.
Afghanistan: Nurturing New Growth
Nepal: Nourishing Opportunity
Sri Lanka: Resilience and resourcefulness
Thatcher asked me on our way to the Colombo airport if I had a favorite story from our now-completed travels. I couldn't come up with one; each made its own distinct impression. But in going over all the stories we'd heard, two qualities stood out: resilience and resourcefulness.
Sri Lanka: The SRI in Sri Lanka
At about 10 a.m. this morning I was treading carefully through a rice paddy under an already-blazing sun, trying to keep my balance on the beam of dry earth that kept me six inches safely above the mud.

I finally decided myself to try a city map. Since I worked on Eldoran lately, I chose the famous city of Argona, unavoidable for this setting.
Argona is a flying city (the "port" is for zeppelins and other flying vessels) and the seat of the "Argonauts Company", a city made possible by a lot of magical properties (the crystal stone of the city itself mainly).
It's a work in progress that takes me a lot of time... here is just a part of the city (a quarter approximately) and I don't know what's looking better between those two effects... or no effect at all perhaps. Just wanted to have your point!

A collection of Colorado Springs businesses came together Saturday to show their gratitude to our military community.
"Wheels 4 Heroes" was born out of the desire to give back to the community of military personnel who provide freedom to our country.
Angelique Blake and her kids were surprised not only by a Skype session with her husband who is serving in Afghanistan, but also by a car, donated by five Springs businesses.
"Oh my God… I don't know any of these people and for them to do this out of the kindness of their heart for a complete stranger is just amazing." Blake said shortly after receiving the car.
Randy's Towing, Glass America, CarToys, Tire World and Larry Miller Toyota partnered with Global Collision to provide a vehicle to a military family. Global Collision added a page to their Facebook page to allow people to nominate military families for the drawing.
"The military community works hard for us." Brent, the Global Collision general manager, said of the giveaway. "They dedicate their lives and people don't understand the struggles they have being in the military."
The Blake family has been driving in an unreliable car. Blake, who is eight months pregnant with the family's third child, said the car was exactly what they needed.
"We're due to have this baby in two months and I keep thinking 'what if this car doesn't start when I go into labor?'"
The car has been completely rebuilt, including a rebuilt engine by Larry Miller Toyota. The car wasn't the only gift for the family. Blake's children were treated to a pile of toys as well.
"Wheels 4 Heroes" plan to donate another vehicle to a deserving family in July.

The National Weather Service said the snowfall tally at the Portland International Jetport has topped 30 inches, far surpassing the previous snow record for Maine's largest city.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Meteorologist Mike Kistner said the reading as of 1:30 p.m. Saturday was 31.9 inches of snow in Portland. That shattered the old storm record of 27.1 inches from 1979.
Snow was still falling Saturday afternoon but it was beginning to taper off.
Wind remained a big concern, causing whiteout conditions and making driving treacherous. The wind gusted to 53 mph at the Portland airport and 68 mph at Matinicus Rock, 20 miles offshore.
State Police spokesman Steve McCausland said numerous vehicles, including several state police cruisers, were getting stuck in the deep snow.

Rain showers continue to dot the radar this morning. Most showers have weakened to a steady, light rain or drizzle. Until the sun breaks through this afternoon, ponding on the road ways will make for difficult travel conditions. Rain chances will diminish quickly after 11pm. Mild temperatures in the 50s and 60s will be warming into the low 70s later today.
A cold front will approach this evening leading to cooler temperatures on Tuesday in the 60s and eventually the 50s by Wednesday.

Boca Raton Museum of Art501 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, FL 33432 In Mizner ParkT: 561.392.2500 F: 561.391.6410Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hours:Tues, Wed & FriThursSaturday & SundayMondays & holidays
Admission:MembersChildren(12 & under)AdultsSeniors(65 +)Students(with ID)
The Boca Raton Museum of Art is excited to join the blogosphere. This blog will allow the museum to give a more personalized and timely view into our collections, exhibits, programming, people and events. We are very interested in visitor feedback, so please don't be shy about commenting on posts.
We would love to talk with you! We hope to promote discussion and generate awareness of both the permanent collection and the traveling temporary exhibitions. Besides discussing what we have to offer, we hope to reflect our interest and response to events and ideas that impact the global art world.
For those of you unfamiliar with the BRMA, I would like to give you a little insight into our institution. We are a small collecting museum located in Boca Raton, Florida.
Our primary focus is Modern Masters of European art, such as Pablo Picasso, the Fauves, Maurice Brazil Prendergast, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Jules Pascin, among others. In addition to these greats we have a modest contemporary art collection with pieces by John Waters, Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Mitchell, Nancy Graves, and Julio Larraz.
On the second floor, you'll find two galleries full of African and Pre-Columbian artworks dating as far back as 5 B.C. The Museum also houses art from all major art-producing areas of Sub-Saharan Africa as well as pottery vessels, finely modeled clay tomb figures, animal and human effigies, and utilitarian and ritual objects representing cultural and artistic production throughout Mesoamerica, west Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Yucatan and Honduras.
Almost all of our great collection was made possible by the generosity of donors. It's wonderful that so many people think it important to donate their family treasures to the BRMA so that everyone in our community may learn about our shared past. We are quite proud to act as custodians of culture here, and hope to later post some information about how, exactly, we go about caring for our collection.
The museum hosts multiple programs, both for Members as well as non-Members. For example, like many museums, we have openings for each new exhibition where Members can preview the new artwork, enjoy some cocktails and hors d'ouevres and mingle with one another.
Oftentimes, the artist whose work is showing will attend the reception or possibly someone intimately linked to the artist may visit in their stead. For our most recent opening, Cleve Gray: Man and Nature and Andrew Stevovich: The Truth about Lola, Mr. Stevovich visited the Members opening with his wife, his muse and inspiration for many of his paintings.
Mr.Stevovich and Cleve Gray's widow, Francine du Plessix-Gray both attended the opening receptions. We are always so pleased to be able to act as a bridge between our audience and the artists that we show.
Besides these opportunities offered to our Members and Patrons, we also afforded the general public a chance to view a new installation with our recent exhibition, Rabarama in the Park. Down the center of Mizner Park (right outside the Museum's door) we installed four large outdoor sculptures by the Italian artist Rabarama for the public to enjoy. They were intriguing androgynous figures with constellations of symbols sculpted all over their bodies, some reminiscent of DNA double helixes and puzzle pieces, creating thoughts about the interconnectedness of humankind. The installation of the sculptures was quite fascinating to watch as well!
Images from the installation and exhibition of Rabarama In the Park.
Our Education Department offers a comprehensive roster of programming for local schools and tour groups as well and we are planning on addressing some of those exciting events in future blog posts.
We've seen how other blogs act as a conduit for useful discourse and information between institutions and individuals, and we are excited to join the local - and global - discussion. There is so much more we would like to share with you, so please check back often to see what else is in store. We hope you feel inclined to participate in our discussions too, because your input can only help us to grow as a community resource and non-profit institution. In the meantime, here are other blogs that have found ways to include their internet and local communities in all manner of arts happenings:

Teen Mama Drama: Did She Get Pregnant to Get on TV?
March 21, 2013
Teen parents Kayla, 18, and Vincent,17, say they had been dating for just four months when they discovered Kayla was pregnant. Vincent, Kayla's mom, Jill, and stepdad, Mike, say she got pregnant intentionally, in the hopes of landing a role on one of the popular teen pregnancy reality TV shows — but did she?
Do you think TV shows about teenage mothers glamorize or prevent teen pregnancy? Vote now!
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
A Young Star?
"She always wanted to be famous and be on a TV show," Vincent says of his ex-girlfriend, Kayla.
Kayla admits that when her son, Milo, was first born she filled out an application to appear on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, but she wasn't selected. She confides that she soon felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of motherhood, and gave legal custody of Milo, now 9 months, to her mom.
Jill says she's often frustrated by how Kayla shrugs off her role as a mother. She says Kayla puts partying ahead of Milo, and only pays attention to him when she's showing him off to her friends. "Lately she's been a total *, and has no patience with Milo," Jill says.
"My mom doesn't understand me because she's not in my situation," Kayla says.
Families at Odds
Vincent and Kayla say that they decided to break up before Milo was born. They both agree that they are better off apart, but is that all they agree on?
"She's the devil; she's a bad person," Vincent says of his ex, whom he insists is still in love with him. "Kayla wants to be with me because she can't do any better than me."
"He's cocky and very self-centered," Kayla responds.
Vincent says being a father matters to him, and tells Dr. Phil that he fought for custody of Milo, but lost to Jill.
Vincent's father, Lewis, says he's angry that neither Kayla nor Vincent is raising Milo. He says his grandson needs to be with his parents — and not with Jill.
Kayla says she would be around more for Milo if she could get along with her stepdad. "Mike is the reason why I can't be with my son," Kayla says.
Jill says Kayla lashes out anytime she doesn't get her way.
Dr. Phil tells Kayla, "You're the common denominator. You're in every place there is a fight."
Kayla's older sister, Stacy, weighs in. "Kayla needs a big reality check," she says. "I quit having a relationship with Kayla when she gave Milo to our mom. You don't just walk out on your kid. We're all here for Milo, but at the end of the day, he needs his mom."
Why does Vincent say he didn't use protection? And, what role does Vincent want in Milo's life? Then, the exes face off onstage.
A Voice for Baby Milo
Dr. Phil tells both families what he thinks is best for Milo.
He tells Kayla, "You can delegate the raising of this child to your mother, but you cannot abdicate your role as a mother."
What You Must Tell Your Teen Daughter
- Tell her to value herself enough to not let her body be used for someone's entertainment.
- Tell her that if she loves the boy, don't give him the "teen daddy" label.
- The teen father of the baby will not be there for her — or the baby.

STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia Southern University is getting ready to send 2,000 Christmas cards to American troops serving overseas, but school officials need help signing them all.
Students, faculty and community members are being invited to sign the cards Wednesday through Friday at the Nessmith-Lane Conference Center on the Statesboro campus between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Georgia Southern President Brooks Keel was scheduled to pitch in and sign several of the Christmas cards Wednesday afternoon.
The university's Division of Continuing Education is helping sponsor the Christmas card campaign. The cards will be mailed overseas to U.S. service members spending their holiday deployed in Afghanistan.

AMTA 2011 Massage Therapy Schools Summit to Focus on Thriving in Change
PRESS RELEASE - The American Massage Therapy Association will hold its 2011 Massage Therapy Schools Summit February 17-18, 2011 in San Francisco, Calif. This annual meeting of massage schools, owners, administrators and teachers is designed to provide the latest industry information and foster open dialog among those responsible for charting the course of massage therapy education.With the theme, Thriving in Change, the event will include discussion and networking focused on innovative solutions to the many issues facing both the financial health of massage therapy schools and the future of massage therapy education.
One highlight of this year's meeting will be a panel presentation and discussion on the opportunities and challenges of moving all massage therapy schools to meet minimum standards for accreditation by a national accrediting body recognized by the USDE.
As in past years, there will be a presentation and open dialog on AMTA's annual state of the profession research report. Attendees will receive the report in advance of the Summit to foster open dialogue on its content at the meeting. All other AMTA School members will receive the report after the Summit.
AMTA invites all massage schools to send representatives to the Summit. With the massage therapy profession and education in a period of rapid evolution, the Summit will seek input on school-related issues and provide a venue for frank, inclusive dialogue on how schools can flourish and on the need to educate massage therapy students for successful practice. There will be specific interest tracks for educators/teachers, as well as massage school owners and administrators.
The Summit format will include speakers and topics important to all attendees, as well as break-out sessions specific to both owners and educators. For more than a decade, AMTA annual school meetings have examined practical skills for massage schools. Beginning in 2010, the Schools Summit approach has also included focus on developing massage school teacher skills.

Hippowdon Temple is an area in Almia, located north of the Haruba Desert. The temple contains many traps, such as disappearing floors, arrow panels that push the player in various directions, and cannons that launch balls of sand. The Yellow Gem can be found here guarded by a Cresselia. Regigigas can also be found here post-game if the player brings Regice, Regirock, and Registeel.


text: A 33-year-old Roseville man was shot and killed by a Placer County Sheriff's deputy in a Granite Bay parking lot Monday evening. Robert Sean Clifford was reportedly sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot of a Walgreens store on Douglas Boulevard, near Cavitt Stallman Road. The deputy, a 15-year veteran of the Placer County Sheriff's Office, was investigating the car as it was parked toward the back of the drug store shortly after 10:30 p.m., according to Placer County Sheriff's Lt. Mark Reed. The Walgreens store had just closed for the evening but employees were still inside. "As soon as he contacted him, the guy was uncooperative, unlike a normal person that you would contact," Reed said. According to a statement from the Placer County Sheriff's Office, the deputy saw a handgun on the front seat of the car, held Clifford at gunpoint and called for backup. Clifford repeatedly refused to cooperate with the deputy and reached for the handgun on the seat, according to the statement, and the deputy fired his weapon, hitting Clifford, who later died at a Roseville hospital. Reed said Sheriff's deputies don't know why Clifford was sitting in the parking lot with a handgun and the incident is under investigation. "I can't speculate until we do a complete investigation," Reed said. As is standard procedure with an officer-involved shooting, the deputy involved is on paid administrative while the investigation continues. ~ Toby Lewis

San Diego
A man trying to steal from people at a Valencia Park gas station beat a patron over the head with a crowbar before fleeing early Saturday, San Diego police said.
The attacker drove into the Express Gas Station on Imperial Avenue near Euclid Avenue around 2:45 a.m. and, crowbar in hand, demanded money first of the clerk, then of a female patron, police said. When both refused, the man approached the woman's male companion, who also refused to give him money.
Police said the assailant then started to beat the man with the crowbar, hitting him numerous times in the head, then fled in a truck.
The victim was taken to the hospital.
Police described the would-be robber as white, in his 50s, with a heavy build and a long white beard. He was wearing a green camouflage hat, an orange and white Miami Dolphins or University of Miami jacket, an orange shirt and green camouflage pants.
He was driving a white Mazda truck with a white camper shell, with two windows on each side, police said. The truck has a decal on the left rear that reads "STX" and has a broken left taillight lens.
Anyone with information related to the incident can leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at (888) 540-8477.

Police said the owner pulled out a Taser, scaring the would-be robber, who then jumped on a bicycle and made his escape eastbound on University.
Officers found a suspect about half a mile away, and the 29-year-old was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of attempted robbery.

If you asked me to name my favorite season, I'd be hard-pressed to do so. You see, my favorite time of the year encompasses the end of autumn and the beginning of winter — mid-November through the end of December, to be exact. And not just because I happen to operate a holiday website.
I enjoy most holidays. But I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much, in fact, that Christmas has come early to our house. In years past, the tree has gone up the weekend after Thanksgiving. This time around, though, Hubby set the Christmas tree up for me last night — in part because we'll spend Thanksgiving weekend at his parents house this year and in part because we needed to get the tree out of the car trunk!
While hubby assembled the tree, I rummaged through our still-packed household goods and found most of the the Christmas decorations we'd had in Korea. Unfortunately, the angel tree-topper apparently didn't make it back with us, and the nativity set I've never liked did. (Lyrics of "Some Children See Him" notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure the Christ-child didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes!) Minor issues aside, the living room now sports a festive look, and the rest of the house is beginning to take shape as well.
Now, to finish shopping and start in on holiday goodies!

The Department of Homeland Security's United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has a warning about Java on your computer.
An alert on the Homeland Security's CERT webpage states: "Java 7 Update 10 and earlier contain an unspecified vulnerability that can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system."
The release goes on to state a hacker may be able to access computers that have Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.
It also notes "applications that use the Internet Explorer web content rendering components, like Microsoft Office or Windows Desktop Search, may also be used as an attack vector for this vulnerability" and that "Oracle Java 7 update 10 and earlier are affected."
The Homeland Security computer team reports "we are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem" and provides the workaround of disabling Java in web browsers.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The Oklahoma Insurance Department says a preliminary estimate suggests the cost of the tornado that hit the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore could be more than $2 billion.
Spokeswoman Calley Herth tells The Associated Press that the early tally of damages is based on visual assessments of an extensive damage zone stretching more than 17 miles and the fact that the tornado was on the ground for 40 minutes.
She says the monetary damage caused by Monday's tornado could be greater than the $2 billion in damage from the 2011 tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., which left a smaller, three-mile trail of destruction.

Biplab has a very charming and loving personality. He is married with a son who is 5 years old. His wife is a teacher. Biplab has a very good sense of humor and knows how to be like a child when relating to children.
Children at the child development center love him and call him Biplab Kaku. (Kaku means "uncle" in Bengali) Though at times he can get angry, the children know how to bring him back to a good mood.
Biplab lives about two miles away from the development center and travels back and forth on bicycle every day. The center is right in the middle of a big open space surrounded by paddy fields. This is a rural setup where the vast majority of people lives in extreme poverty.
Houses made of mud walls with thatch and straw roofs are a common sight everywhere. Daily labor, rickshaw pulling,and cultivation are among the commonly available jobs in this region.
Children do not have proper education, as the schools often underachieve and parents lack exposure to the importance of education, often resulting in children dropping out of school early.
There are no good roads to the development center, except for one that is also half-pitched and half-muddy. Children walk through the cultivated land to get to the center. It takes 20-25 minutes. During the rainy season, it is very difficult to walk through the fields, as they remain mostly under water.
As an accountant at the center, Biplab's main duties include writing vouchers and maintaining the cash book, ledger book, stock registers and other office registers.
Apart from that, he also has to monitor the children while they eat their morning meal to ensure they don't waste food and that they are fully fed before leaving for school. Biplab also visits children in their classrooms once in a while to see if they are able to follow what is being taught by the caregivers.
If a child falls ill, he has to take the child for medication to the nearby medical facility. So, he has a fair mix of duties after the center manager.
Biplab feels that that his job is very important and requires a responsible commitment. For any organization, accounting is one of the primary tasks that requires a great deal of integrity.
"If I falter in my job, it will not only affect the center but also the lives of these little children.
Another important thing I have learned is patience. This job has taught me something even more; to remain faithful in God and to depend on him for every small thing. I have learned that ministry is not just preaching the word of God to adults but also advocating for poor children."
When Biplab starts his work in the morning, he prioritizes his day's tasks. It helps him to work in a rhythm and organize his work better. Biplab gets encouragement for what he does from his colleagues and the children here. There has never been a moment when he was left to handle pending work alone.
Once in the office, Biplab starts his day with prayer. Then, he usually finishes the bill- and voucher-related work first. Each month he also sits with the caregivers to distribute hygiene supplies to the children.
Sometimes, sponsors send large family and birthday gifts for the children. Biplab does the purchasing after consulting with the parents to find out what best suits the family's needs. He also has to attend to the guardians when they come down to inquire how their children are performing.
In the morning Biplab has devotions for the children from 6:45-7:00. After that, children go to their respective classrooms along with their caregivers, and Biplab sits down with the kitchen staff to discuss replenishing food items before ordering further stock from the market.
Biplab has to enter the expense records into the vouchers, cash book, and ledger book, and also get the signature of the center manager on each one of them for approval.
Around 9 o'clock, Biplab oversees the children having their meals to make sure they are eating properly. After they leave for school, he has staff devotions from 9:30 until 10:15. After the devotion, caregivers are released for the day, and the center manager, social worker, and Biplab stay back for office work until 3 in the afternoon.
Occasionally, Biplab has to stay a little longer when the center has visitors from the Compassion office or during cultural get-togethers organized for the children.
Biplab says that the most frustrating experience as an accountant is when the debit and credit values on both sides of the ledger book and the bank reconciliation statement do not match at the month end and he has to start the calculations and the back calculations from scratch once again.
Biplab chose accounting because it is a difficult and challenging job, and he thrives under difficult situations. He take up every challenge in stride and gives his best to get the work done in the most accurate and flawless way.
"What really gives me great joy and satisfaction is when I am able to complete the reports on time and match both sides of the ledger columns in the accounting book at month end."
He thanks you, sponsors of the children, for your generous support. Without your continuous prayers and faithful support, these children would remain in darkness. And with your relentless prayers and support, these children have received the light of love of God that otherwise may not have reached their hearts and their homes.

Jeff Kinney is the author of the very popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, there are seven books in the series and Kalamazoo Public Library has all seven! The printed text appears as if it were hand-written and it is combined with comic drawings to keep the attention of even a reluctant reader. Boys and girls, elementary age and teenage, enjoy reading the books.
I watched the movie titled: Diary of a Wimpy Kid and just thinking about it makes me giggle. The movie is directed by Thor Freudenthal. It revolves around Greg and Rowley, two best friends entering their first year of middle school. Greg is played by Zachary Gordon and Rowley is played by Robert Capron. Throughout their sixth grade year Greg and Rowley make several attempts and schemes at "fitting-in" to middle school life. Yes, there are a few moments of fright and, yes, there is some gross stuff, but overall it is clever, goofy, and at times, adorable. The actors do a great job of conveying their individual character including Greg's family which consists of an obnoxious older brother and a younger brother, and a mother and father. We get to know Greg's classmates and teachers and a few bullies. Rowley provides innocence and sincerity to the story along with his catchy phrase: zoo-wee mama! Greg is somewhat of an underdog who keeps persevering throughout, and he deserves a lot of credit for his inventiveness and maturity.
Again, this is a funny movie and I recommend it.
For books, begin at: Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Greg Heffley's Journal (Book 1)
