Birth Place: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Born Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo on Jan. 2, 1967 in Honolulu, HI, Carrere would become known simply as "Tia" due to her younger sister's inability to pronounce her given name. Her banker father, Alexander, and her computer supervisor mother, Audrey, would pass along the combined traits of their Chinese, Spanish and Filipino ethnicities to their eldest daughter, imbuing her with an undeniably exotic beauty. Shortly after graduating from Sacred Hearts Academy, Carrere made the journey to Los Angeles in pursuit of a singing career. In 1985, she was a contestant on "Ed McMahon's Star Search" (syndicated, 1983-1995), and although eliminated in the first round, she remained determined enough that s... Continue Bio >>

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (NBC33) - A sporting staple of the Summit City has closed its door.
Baer Field Speedway officials announced all events scheduled for this weekend were cancelled.
Officials later told NBC33 that the remainder of the races for the summer will not be run, and there are no plans to reopen the track.
Officials cite financial reasons.
Baer Field opened as a go-kart track in 1963, and celebrated its 50th anniversary last year.

The Committee meets the 4th Thursday of every odd numbered month at 2:30 pm in the Strategic Growth Area Department at 4525 Main Street, Suite 710. The public is welcome to attend.
City Council appointed the original
Green Ribbon Committee in June 2006 to make recommendations regarding water
quality improvements for the City of Virginia Beach. The Green Ribbon Committee
spent many volunteer hours developing the "City of Virginia Beach Green Ribbon CommitteeReport, November 2007" (the Report) which includes
extensive recommendations to improve water quality in the City and was adopted
by City Council in December 2007. A Green Ribbon Implementation Committee
was created to monitor the progress of the Report's recommendations, and
expired December 31, 2010 after implementing some key water quality improvement
code and policy changes.

Birdies Large Wall Clock by DecoyLab
"Kirie" is the Japanese word for paper cutting which is the inspiration behind this beautiful, intricate design! The base is crafted with 3-ply eco-friendly bamboo that is sanded and finished with a natural oil. The design overlay is created of ivory acrylic and is coated with a matte clear coat. The hour and minute hands are a lovely chocolate brown (no second hand). A hanger on the back allows for easy display. The clock requires one AA battery (not included). Please note, due to the nature of bamboo, grains and color may be slightly different than pictured.
DecoyLab features playful and creative clocks created by talented graphic designer Maiko Kuzunishi in Kansas City, Missouri. Sleek bamboo is the backdrop for gorgeous laser-cut overlays on these hand-crafted pieces. The clock motors are made in the USA and do not make a ticking sound - perfect for your little one's nursery or bedroom! Each child's clock is made to order with love in the designer's home studio. Using a fresh approach to production, DecoyLab utilizes sustainable materials and recyclable packaging when making their beautifully crafted clocks for kids. This item is custom made especially for you upon order.
To care for your clock, dust occasionally with a duster and avoid direct sunlight or contact with water. Long exposure to sunlight may result in fading.

Sensor array
this wiki
A sensor array was a device where a group of sensors were combined as in, for example, the forward sensor array on Galaxy-class starships. Subprocessors were part of a sensor array. (TNG: "The Game")
The USS Enterprise used a duotronic sensor array. This ship, and its fellow Constitution-class ships, were equipped with two sensor arrays. They were located on the top and bottom of the primary hull. (TNG: "Datalore"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
In 2367, Commander William T. Riker suggested running a diagnostic on the USS Enterprise-D's forward sensor array when the two-dimensional lifeforms were first detected. (TNG: "The Loss")
Even an enhanced sensor array aboard the Enterprise-D wasn't able to locate the transformed Geordi La Forge on the surface of planet Tarchannen III. (TNG: "Identity Crisis")
When studying the Phoenix Cluster in early 2368, only one long-range array was available for fifteen science teams. The available bandwidth was increased, however, by multiplexing the array. (TNG: "The Game")
In 2369, Chief Miles O'Brien and his assistant Neela did modifications to several systems of Deep Space 9. O'Brien told Neela to re-route the signal enhancement module to the main sensor array. (DS9: "Duet")
When the Starfleet crew of Deep Space 9 was forced to hand over the station to the Alliance for Global Unity-controlled Bajoran Militia, they sabotaged the sensor array. (DS9: "The Siege")
In 2371, in the mirror universe, Jennifer Sisko was working on a transpectral sensor array that would allow the Alliance to easily locate Terran ships in the Badlands. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass")
In 2372, Kar damaged the lateral sensor array on Commander Chakotay's shuttlecraft after attacking it. (VOY: "Initiations")
Jadzia Dax mentioned that the primary sensor array of the USS Defiant could not locate life signs when the cloaking device was activated. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
In early 2373, Chief Miles O'Brien was able to reroute data from a Jem'Hadar attack ship's sensor array to a tricorder. (DS9: "The Ship")
The Dominion constructed a massive sensor array in the Argolis Cluster in the early months of the Dominion War. It was powerful enough to detect starships at least five sectors away. In 2374, Jadzia Dax commanded the Defiant in a successful mission to destroy it. (DS9: "Behind the Lines")
In 2375, Chakotay managed to find a way out of chaotic space by routing the USS Voyager's sensor array through the ship's deflector dish, which maximized the deflector's amplitude. (VOY: "The Fight")
In late 2375, a Romulan colony in the Unroth system began repairs on their long-range sensor array. This weakness was discovered by Thot Gor, who planned an attack. (DS9: "Strange Bedfellows")

Updated, with more appropriate track gearing and my fancy track wheels.
My sprinter bike. It has 84.4 and 90 gears. It's meant only for training. On the track and on the road as well (that's why there's a front brake with a clamp for easy removal).
My "stamina training" bike. Has wider bars, clinchers, road saddle and so on. Also the frame is an entry-level one. The gear is 72 inches. This one is used for long distance training and some (although rare) commuting.
Still need a beater fixed gear.
This is my 'going to the shop' bike. Williams inch pitch ring, Prior hubs, steel bar and stem, Stronglight cottered cranks. Fun to ride.
Love the "going to the shop" bike!! Though I must admit I think I'd personally put a foot retention system on there (or a brake).
What hubs are they? Very fancy lookin'....
Also, I assume you only go to the shops for a pack of gum or something? No racks or baskets?!?!
Hi Wotan,
Milk, bread, etc. in a shopping bag can be cradled on the up-turned bars. The hubs are 'Prior' - the flanges are aluminium rivetted to the steel centres - very cool - very retro. Brakes are completely unecessary and without toe clips I can wear my workboots ( I don't go fast enough to get a whack in the back of the leg by the pedal if my foot slips off.)

hi i am riding fixed gear pista every day,and looking to bye fixed new gear bike .what would be suggestions? i can pay good money.thx ilya

Here's another great Aussie Hillman track bike built in 1984 . It has SR cranks, Sunshine hubs and other Sugino stuff. Hillman have been around for many years and have won world championships.
Vintage Campy Record track hubs laced to Open Pros with double butted spokes, Thompson stem and seatpost, Deda pista bars, Fizik Arione saddle, FSA carbon cranks, etc...
front brake for when I'm not at the track.
Casati Pista, Casati seatpost, Zipp 808/404 combo with Zipp track hubs, FSA Vigorelli crank, Izumi chain, Euro-Asia imports rear cogs, Deda Aluminum bar and stem, Record front brake, Record levers, Fizik Arione Team edition saddle, Keo pedals
Meet at the old mill. We ride at dawn.
Haha, yeah I had the i pwn nOObs sticker lying around and i thought it would blend in with the paintjob on this bike perfectly.
The rear wheel is very close to the seat tube but its not rubbing, the cut-out actually has an indent so if i wanted I could have the wheel a little bit inside of the seat-tube. I hope the axel doesn't slip.
This is my dad and my race machine. Custom built Naked (formerly Forte Bikes) from just off the coast of Vancouver Island. Built by Sam Whittingham, current HPV record holder for both 1hour and 200m speed records.
Unfortunately it was involved in a crash at Track nationals, and is receiving treatment for the injuries right now.
Naked looks great. I bet it's strong and stiff. How did it handle the crash - compared to you?
Work in progress:
I was vaulted off the bike almost onto my feet (feet first on 45 degree wooden track doesn't equate to a lack of injuries). Unfortunately the force brought the bars around quickly, and into the top tube, leaving a rather major dent. Fortunately it isn't structurally significant, and can be repaired.
not mine but i got to check out this baby this summer.anyone seen one of these circling the drome?its a
delta wing.

The Great Toad Sage (大ガマ仙人, Ōgama Sennin) is the oldest and most respected toad of all the inhabitants of Mount Myōboku. Because of his age, the other toads affectionately call him Great Honourable Geezer (大じじ様, Ōjiji-sama). He is famed for his highly accurate prophecies.
When Jiraiya was training at Mount Myōboku, the Toad Sage made a prophecy concerning him: Firstly, that he would go on to become both a talented ninja, and a pervert without equal. Jiraiya would walk across the world as a sage, "observing all creation, watching as nature takes its course," and in doing so he would also write a book. Jiraiya was also told that he would one day have a student with the power to save or destroy the world, and that it would be Jiraiya's actions that will determine which path this student takes.[5]
At his great age, the Great Toad Sage seems to constantly smile and tends to have his eyes closed or squinting. He is portrayed and described as being senile, and sometimes out of touch with his present situation, so he does tend to forget things easily and quite quickly. However, when reminded, he is still able to remember things and can easily tell things very precisely. As a sage, he is also very wise, and is quick to stop Shima and Fukasaku from bickering and encourages harmony. It would seem that unlike most other toads, he actually has respect for Jiraiya, and has urged both Shima and Fukasaku to cooperate with him.[6]
He is one of the largest inhabitants of Mount Myōboku easily equalling Bunta, Ken, and Hiro in size. He is brown in colour, with a white belly, is very wrinkled and has taken to squinting. He wears a professor's hat with tassels and an orb on top of it. He also wears a necklace with the toad's village symbol for "oil" (油, abura) on it. The place where he called Jiraiya and Naruto to receive their prophecy is lined with what appears to be giant scrolls and he sits in a shallow pool of water which has the kanji for "sage" (仙人, sennin) inscribed on it.
Being the oldest toad of Mount Myōboku, he is very wise. As a sage, he has immense knowledge about senjutsu. Using his crystal ball, he can observe anyone he wants over a great distance as long as he knows the person's chakra pattern. The Great Toad Sage also possesses the ability to see into the future, to a limited extent, evident by him predicting that Jiraiya would take on a student who would be known as either the Saviour or the Destroyer of the World. Though whether this ability is due to his status as a Sage is unknown.
Part II
Invasion of Pain Arc
Using the Telescope Technique, the Toad Sage watched the meeting between Nagato and Naruto. Jiraiya had originally believed that Nagato was the boy mentioned in the prophecy, but shortly before his death came to believe that Naruto was what the prophecy referred to. When he saw Naruto convince Nagato to sacrifice himself for the citizens of Konoha, the Toad Sage told Gamabunta that both he and Jiraiya were wrong. The prophecy was about Naruto and Nagato. He wonders if The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi really was the key to changing the world.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
When Gerotora asked the Toad Sage if he should give Naruto the key to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's seal, the Toad Sage had Naruto brought before him so that he could make a prediction. He had foreseen that Naruto would meet a "creature with octopus tentacles" and would battle a "young man with powerful eyes". He also saw that Naruto would be given the key, so he instructed Gerotora to go ahead and give it to him.[7]
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
The Great Toad Sage appears briefly, when a prophecy about the Masked Man's defeat is made.
- The Great Toad Sage wears a necklace with the kanji character 油 (Abura, Literally meaning: oil) on it. It is frequently used in reference to toads in Naruto.
- (To Fukasaku and Shima) "No fighting, children. A husband and wife should be nice to each other."[8]
- (To Gamabunta) "It's over… As it was foretold… but I never thought Jiraiya's two pupils together would be the "Child of the Prophecy", the ones to lead a revolution in the ninja world… Maybe this was all meant to be from the time Jiraiya decided not to give up… That book really was the key to changing the world."[9]

A former Brunswick County teacher charged with having sex with a student won't face trial after marrying the victim.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports (http://bit.ly/XLMA8z) 42-year-old Leah Gayle Shipman pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge of resisting a public officer.
Court records show Shipman divorced her husband of 19 years last year and six days later married 17-year-old student Johnnie Ray Ison. His mother signed documents allowing him to marry while a minor.
The marriage prevented prosecutors from compelling Ison to testify against Shipman. A spouse can't be forced to testify against the defendant in most criminal cases.
Shipman taught at Brunswick County Academy when she was arrested in January 2009 on charges of sexual offense with a student, statutory rape and taking indecent liberties with a student.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by etoainshrdlu Shouldn't have old one's before new one's Basically-these did not live up to my old ones that gave up the ghost last year. Have to admit they lasted eons, were used only in winter around the house, especially in AM after getting up. Differences-on these the leather is thinner, padding under sole is softer softer, area around toes deforms more-almost looks like "oriental" slipper when on foot. The sock part seems fine.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by jacksprzak ragg wool slipper sox I have been imobized for several weeks and my normally active feet are now so cold that socks are required nearly all the time. I remember as a kid I had a pair like these. We called them mucklucks. The new version is durable and warm. I can get around the house without having cold feet. Not too much that they make feet sweat, but just enough to be comfortable. I'm really happy that The Vermont Trading Company can provide such practical items at reasonable prices! October 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LWA Kentucky would not buy had I seen them first The picture and the product do not match, this is a leather sole on a TUBE SOCK, so if you like bunched up sock around your foot, this is for you. I don't care for tube socks so I will not wear them. Maybe my grandkids will find a use for them. Not the quality I would expect for the price. June 18, 2013

The Beta 5 computer was a sophisticated computer built by unknown aliens from a hidden planet located more than 1000 light-years from Earth. It was installed at 811 East 68th Street, Apartment 12-B in New York City, occupied by pseudo-secret agent, Gary Seven, in 1968.
As a highly capable device, the Beta 5 is able to make analytical decisions, due to its extremely advanced artificial intelligence. This artifical intelligence is supplimented with a snobbish, feminie personality.
- It is unknown if the Beta 5's snobbish behavior was unique to this model, or a fault common to all Beta 5 units, if indeed other units indeed exist, much like case of the Federations' EMH Mark I.
The Beta 5 contains a vast database of knowledge on other planets and the history of Earth. It has the ability to check news broadcasts from across the globe, as well as intercept and decode government messages thanks to its exceiver circuits.
The Beta 5 computer is also linked to a transporter chamber, located in an apparent walk-in vault, which can transport individuals simple by passing through the entranceway.
The Beta 5 also contains a materialization niche on the right hand side of its console that can be used for such purposes as producing false identification.
When not in use, the Beta 5 computer was hidden behind the bookcase in Gary Seven's office.
When hidden, the Beta 5 could be accessed through a scanner, which resembles a green cube, located on Seven's desk. While active, the cube glows brightly and then dims when waiting for further input. This interface device, however, is limited to only voice command input. For finer, manual control of the Beta 5, it must be taken out of hidden mode and accessed directly.
The Beta 5 was instrumental in the completion of Seven's mission in 1968 after Agents 201 and 347 were killed in an car accident on their way to their mission objective.
It assisted Seven in completing his mission by taking control of the flight telemmetry of the missile launch. This allowed him to cause a failure in third stage detachment of the rocket, and arm the warhead of the missile. The Beta 5 was able to block all commands to the rocket by McKinley Rocket Base and US tracking bases in Bermuda and South Africa. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")
- The Beta 5 computer's voice was provided by Barbara Babcock.

Funtoo boot-update provides a unified mechanism for configuring the GRUB 1.9x (sys-boot/grub (package not on wiki - please add)) and GRUB 0.97 (sys-boot/grub-legacy (package not on wiki - please add)) boot loaders. It is the recommended, official way to configure Funtoo Linux systems for booting.
Current Version
Man Pages
Consult the following man pages for detailed, up-to-date information on configuration file settings and command-line arguments:
- boot-update(8)
- boot.conf(5)
GRUB 1.97+ Quick Start
If using
sys-boot/grub-1.97 or later, perform the following steps:
- Partition disk using GPT/GUID (recommended) or MBR partitions.
- Install kernel/initrd to /boot
# emerge sys-boot/boot-update # grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda
Ensure that
/etc/fstab is correct, and edit /etc/boot.conf to reflect your installation. Then run:
# boot-update
This will auto-generate the complex /boot/grub/grub.cfg required for booting. Re-run boot-update every time your available kernels/initrds or /etc/boot.conf configuration changes.
GRUB 0.97 (grub-legacy) Quick Start
If using
sys-boot/grub-legacy-0.97, perform the following steps:
- Partition disk using MBR partitions (GPT not supported)
- Install kernel/initrd to
# emerge -av sys-boot/boot-update # emerge ">=sys-boot/grub-legacy-0.97-r11" # grub-install-legacy /dev/sda
Due to an issue with
grub-legacy, you may see the following message:
# grub-install-legacy /dev/sda
The file /boot/grub-legacy/stage1 not read correctly.
Should you receive this message, you will have to install
grub-legacy from the grub shell.
/boot is the partition
/dev/sda1 and you want to install grub to the MBR, you would run the following:
# grub-legacy
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
When adjusting to fit your setup, remember 'root' is the location of your boot partition, 'setup' is where you want to install grub, and don't forget about grub's unique naming conventions for hard drives / partitions. For more information run:
# info grub-legacy
Ensure that /etc/fstab is correct, and edit /etc/boot.conf to reflect your installation. Ensure a generate grub-legacy setting in the boot section. Then run:
# boot-update
This will auto-generate the /boot/grub-legacy/grub.conf required for booting. Note that
grub-legacy-0.97-r11 and later stores grub.conf in the /boot/grub-legacy directory.
Re-run boot-update every time your available kernels / initrds or /etc/boot.conf configuration changes.

Log in
The Danish political drama Borgen has been favorably compared to the American hit show House of Cards. While it resists the kind of farcical plotlines and hyper-cynicism of the Netflix-produced show, there features more than enough intrigue and Machiavelian maneuvering for political power to keep the storylines interesting and germane. Some critics have also alluded to The West Wing's influence but Borgen resists the kind of naïve portrait of contemporary politics as a romantic idyll or a noble vocation. Borgen's female protagonist is both a savvy political player engaged in political jousting and a committed wife and mother which suggests that there will be plenty of personal and political sacrifice to go around when the mud begins to fly. This is bingeworthy television, Scandinavian style.

|I've never seen anything like it. Humbly, sir, I know you have greater designs than any of us understand. What does it do?
|Identity Disc
Master key for the Tron system
|Kevin Flynn
|Behind the scenes
|TRON: Betrayal
TRON: Evolution
TRON: Uprising
TRON: Legacy
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Kevin Flynn's Identity Disc is a unique Identity Disc. Like other identity discs, Flynn's disc operates as a weapon if the need arises, although it has a more valuable function programmed into it by Flynn himself. It is reputed to be a "master key" of sorts, and provides the only means by which a program might potentially escape the Tron system. As the disc of a user it also stores data of a far more complex being than that of an ordinary program.
Kevin Flynn's Identity Disc has appeared in both white and black configurations, apparently changing color to match Kevin Flynn's change in state. He refrains from using it as a weapon directly, and spent many years in hiding to keep it and Quorra safe from harm.
Clu viewed Flynn's identity disc as an object of power and with it he could control the Tron system and possibly even escape its confines and rule both it and the real world at once. To this end he orchestrated a plan to lure a user into the system in a bid to draw Kevin Flynn out of hiding. The plan was a success and even resulted in the temporary capture of the disc, although ultimately it was recaptured thanks to interference from Sam Flynn.

Dorothy Dixon: Ready to open unopenable Christmas gifts?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Christmas is coming! Are you ready for it?
No, I don't mean have you finished your Christmas shopping and gotten all the cards in the mail. I am thinking about what I call the "inaccessibility factor."
Have you assembled all the necessary tools you will need bright and early on Christmas morning as you face the gifts you and your anxiously awaiting children will have received? Do you have sharp scissors, a wedge, pliers, a sturdy knife, a beer bottle opener, an ice pick and possibly a small crowbar?
My first husband predicted that some day someone would invent the unopenable package -- and that was 50 years ago. At the time it was a problem that surfaced mainly under the Christmas tree.
However, I must have experienced some difficulty even then because he frequently remarked that when I opened a box it appeared to have been torn apart by an explosion from within. Little did he know!
Could he possibly have envisioned Annapolis, Md.-based Atlantic Shrink Wrapping Inc. (and, yes, it does exist, dear reader), which has shrink-wrapped tractors, helicopters and even an historic train station in Virginia?
Now that I have found, to my dismay, that I qualify as one of the "oldest of the old," I would welcome an external fuse on almost everything to detonate the impenetrable packaging rampant in my daily life.
The whole thing started with the 1982 Tylenol scare and was hastened along by the increasing number of toddlers gulping down grandma's pills. A number of years ago, Consumer Reports gave out an "Oyster Award" for the most frustratingly unopenable packaging -- there were 10 entrants and the prize went to the Barbie Doll. It took a strong young man 28 minutes to access Barbie and all her accoutrements.
When I was 75, I married my third husband. He wasn't young but he was a man -- and men have toolboxes. By the time he reached 90, even he had to admit defeat and seek assistance when we were handed water bottles by an airplane hostess.
Widowed once more, I live in a "retirement community" (communal living consisting mainly of elderly women). Life in this setting is easy, except for the almost daily struggle with an array of "inaccessibles." Women are inventive and have their own "tools." Sturdy kitchen scissors are possibly the most treasured, but the back of a dinner knife can usually outwit the tab, which some idiot, probably a man, supposedly facilitates access to a soft drink.
A beer bottle opener can sometimes defeat the pill bottle that demands that you line up the arrows before you can take a pill for the throbbing headache probably brought on by an onslaught of similar packaging.
A candidate for public office once presented me with a soft plastic disc with his name on it. Its purpose was to help get a grasp on those pesky screw-top bottles and jars. It really, really worked! Sadly it did not live forever. The candidate has outlived it. He is still in public office and he still gets my vote every time he runs.
Even my grandmother had her own tool for access to the inaccessible. I very much doubt that my grandmother canned her own beans, and I know for sure that she was never challenged by a liquor bottle, but the graduated rings on this antique metal instrument must have played a valuable role even then.
Although women are endlessly inventive, sometimes the challenge exceeds our cunning. Fortunately, at the retirement community we have other resources. I have taken applesauce to the kitchen, batteries to the maintenance department and once even resorted to the office to pull the top off my pen.
Where will it end? I once saw a cartoon of a doctor delivering a baby with a cellphone in its chubby little hand. It is easy to envision some future nurse handing the new mother her shrink-wrapped child (cellphone wrapped separately).
The big day is almost here, so get out your tools and have a very Merry Christmas.

Krebs cycle
Fuel for the Krebs cycle comes from lipids (fats) and carbohydrates, which both produce the molecule acetyl coenzyme-A (acetyl-CoA). This acetyl-CoA reacts in the first step of the eight step sequence of reactions that comprise the Krebs cycle, all of which occur inside mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. While the Krebs cycle does produce carbon dioxide, this cycle does not produce significant chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) directly, and this reaction sequence does not require any oxygen. Instead, this cycle produces NADH and FADH2, which feed into the respiratory cycle, also located inside of the mitochondria. It is the respiratory cycle that is responsible for production of large quantities of ATP and consumption of oxygen. In addition, the respiratory cycle converts NADH and FADH2 into reactants that the Krebs cycle requires to function. Thus, if oxygen is not present, the respiratory cycle cannot function, which shuts down the Krebs cycle. For this reason, the Krebs cycle is considered an aerobic pathway for energy production.

Brown Thunder is a (technically) separate but more or less identical side mission, which can be activated from a Hunter attack helicopter in the games in which that vehicle appears.
GTA III era
At the start of the mission, a criminal spawns in a random vehicle (clearly marked and shown on the radar) and attempts to evade the player. If the vehicle catches fire or is held in place for more than a couple seconds, the occupant(s) will bail out and run or attempt to acquire new transport. They may even steal your car! In GTA Vice City, a new car will spawn for the criminals to use if the player doesn't kill them fast. As the player completes each level, the target/s come armed with better weapons and, as of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, become more numerous until eventually, multiple vehicles appear with each new level. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, criminals will have the ability to drive-by. The player has to be ready to flee as well, since some of the criminals come very heavily armed with, for example, Rugers and Shotguns that can, and will, kill both the player and their car in seconds.
Aside from the obvious choices of drive-by shooting the target vehicle until it blows up or ramming it off the road, there are other options. For example:
- Performing the PIT maneuver to spin the vehicle out and then successfully blocking it will prompt the target/s to abandon the vehicle, allowing you to engage them in a firefight or simply run them over.
- Identifying the target vehicle's likely route (only a practical option in some areas with few side roads) and setting up an ambush or roadblock ahead of it. Using a powerful weapon, it is very possible to blow up their car before the assailants have time to get out of it.
The mission is failed if the player remains outside of a Law Enforcement vehicle for more than 60 seconds in one go, if the player dies or is busted, and of course if the time runs out. Vigilante mode does not grant immunity from the Police, who will often pursue the player for murder, firing weapons, hitting police cars etc. They make it a lot harder since almost no emergency vehicles can be resprayed, and you might rack up your wanted level faster than you can find police bribes.
Each time a Vigilante mission is started, the player must begin at Level 1, and cannot continue a previously failed or cancelled mission. GTA Vice City Stories has a checkpoint every five levels so you can restart at that checkpoint if you failed or canceled before completion.
GTA IV era
In GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars, the Vigilante missions are retooled. When Niko or Huang accesses a police car, they can access the criminal database computer and view crimes in progress in the area. The player has a time limit to get to the crime scene, but once there the timer stops. These crimes include: Gang activity, which involves killing a group of thugs; Stolen vehicle, which involves chasing down the criminal in the stolen vehicle; and Suspect on foot, which consists of only one criminal fleeing a crime scene, and are usually the easiest, as the criminal can simply be run over. In GTA IV, 20 missions must be completed for the Cleaned The Mean Streets Achievement and for 100% completion. The 20 missions however do not need to be done consecutively. In addition, there is a new form of the mission called Most Wanted. In GTA Chinatown Wars, the side-mission automatically ends when you kill the last criminal on each wave, and to restart it you must reenter a Law Enforcement vehicle and access the Police Computer, so you don't have to beat all five waves consecutively to obtain the Gold Medal, as long as the chain is completed without failure.

San Andreas glitch
A glitch exists in GTA: San Andreas that allows completion of Vigilante without actually having to engage the enemy. Trigger the sub-mission, and park the police vehicle near the entrance to a food place such as Burger Shot. When the targets are identified, exit the vehicle (a countdown clock to mission failure will begin) and enter the food place. Wait about 20 seconds and exit. If done correctly (the exact timing may vary and one must be careful not to run out of time), the game will indicate that the targets are dead. Quickly reenter the police vehicle and wait for the next mission. Repeat. On the PS2 this has been done successfully for all levels. One walkthrough reports it works on the Xbox too but only up to a certain point, and purchasing food may or may not be necessary.
- In GTA IV, the Vigilante side missions are called 'Most Wanted' instead of Vigilante.
- In GTA IV, as mentioned, the player may still receive a wanted level during a vigilante mission. However, upon completion of the mission, their wanted level seems to be cleared (at least up to three stars).
- In GTA III and GTA LCS, the Barracks OL is not intended to be used in the Vigilante side mission.
- In GTA Vice City, the VCPD Cheetah is one of the best cars to use for the Vigilante side mission. Not only is it fast and maneuverable, it can resprayed in a Pay 'n' Spray, repairing the car and removing your wanted level.
- In GTA Vice City, once you surpass level 12, some of the criminals may spawn in the water and die instantly.
- In GTA San Andreas, Grove Street gang members can be recruited to help kill the criminals. If the player is shot at - or otherwise attacked - by the criminals, the gang members will shoot back. This tactic becomes more useful after all gang tags in Los Santos have been sprayed over, as Grove Street gang members will start carrying Desert Eagles and MP5s, which are more powerful weapons.
- The Rhino Tank can be a very useful Vigilante vehicle owing to its ability to destroy other cars simply by driving into them (making head-on "chicken"-style ambushes a good tactic) and its long-range turret. It is, however, very slow, and it is entirely possible for criminals to outrun the player until the time limit expires even at fairly low levels, particularly on larger highways or off-road. It can also be very difficult to obtain a Rhino without using cheats or earning a 6-star wanted level (although the tank does spawn in some locations, such as Fort Baxter in Vice City and Area 69 in San Andreas). In Vice City Stories this problem is compounded by the fact that all Rhinos encountered prior to the completion of the second-to-last mission, Over The Top, whether at Fort Baxter or under a 6-star wanted level, will be locked and cannot be driven.
- Your car will gain increased health if you complete a level, making it easier for it to avoid getting destroyed.

Game of gobblers
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's been almost two weeks since West Virginia's spring turkey season began, and thousands of hunters have already bagged a gobbler or two.
Most of those birds wouldn't have been there had it not been for countless hours' worth of work on the part of the state's wildlife biologists and game managers, who quite literally spread the state's turkey flock statewide by trapping wild turkeys and relocating them to counties where they hadn't been seen for decades.
Jim Pack, the Division of Natural Resources' turkey project leader from 1970 to 2005, presided over what has become known as the state's "trap and transplant" program.
"What we did was very effective, but we were only able to do it because [earlier DNR biologists] had laid the groundwork for it," he said. "In the years between the 1940s and the late 1960s, they had figured out which [management techniques] worked and which ones didn't."
West Virginia's first statewide turkey census, conducted in the mid-1940s, painted a bleak picture. Turkeys, which thrived statewide when the state was settled, were almost gone.
"By the 1940s, the population was down to about 4,500 birds, and those were concentrated in just 16 counties, mostly in the Monongahela National Forest and the Eastern Panhandle," Pack said.
To reintroduce the popular game bird to its original range, wildlife officials at the time tried stocking turkeys hatched and pen-raised at the West Virginia Game Farm in French Creek. The effort failed.
"That was tried several times, from the late 1940s to as late as the early 1960s," Pack said. "I don't remember any of [the stockings] ever being successful."
Biologists figured - correctly, as it turned out - that pen-raised birds simply lacked sufficient survival skills to make it in the wild. One DNR employee, the legendary Wayne Bailey, started trapping wild birds and stocking them in places where game-farm birds hadn't yet been placed.
Bailey trapped the birds by building wire cages and setting out long bait lines that led turkeys into the traps.
In a 2001 interview, Bailey admitted that not all the transplanted turkeys came from West Virginia.
"I often trapped on Allegheny Mountain, along the Virginia-West Virginia border, and I always put the [trap] site on the West Virginia side. But I ran the bait lines way down into Bath County, Va. Virginia was transplanting turkeys and didn't even realize it," he said.
The first trap-and-transplant stocking took place in 1950, in Preston County near the Mason-Dixon Line.
"That was kind of an interesting stocking," Pack recalled. "As it was told to me, the birds crossed the line into Pennsylvania, got started there, and then expanded from there and came back into West Virginia."
The cage traps Bailey used weren't very efficient. They seldom yielded more than four or five birds at a time, which often wasn't enough to start a flock. Pack said those small stockings seldom had a chance to work.
"In some instances, the [hunting] season got opened on them too soon," he recalled. "At other times, not enough birds got put out. It was a learning process. The stocking program got carried up to 1962, but was stopped because it wasn't getting the job done."
It wasn't until biologists began using "cannon nets" - nets that could be flung over entire turkey flocks by explosive charges - that trap-and-transplant became truly viable. Pack said former DNR assistant wildlife chief Jim Ruckel was the official most responsible for resuming the stockings.
"Jim deserves a lot of credit. He said we wouldn't put out five or six birds like we had in the past. We started putting out 30 to 50 birds in every stocking. From the time we restarted the trap-and-transplant program in 1970 until we made our last stocking in 1988, not a single stocking failed."
Though biologists get a lot of credit for the restocking effort, Pack said the true heroes were the DNR's wildlife managers.
"For the most part, they were the ones out there doing the trapping," he said. "They did the grunt work. Turkey trapping is a hard, seven-day-a-week job, and they were the ones out there getting it done."
Pack and his colleagues had a simple formula for making the stockings work.
"Our policy was to put the birds in the most suitable habitat first, and to work our way down the list to the least suitable habitat," he said.
Despite concerns that politicians would dictate where the stockings got made, DNR officials were mostly able to stick to their plan.
"In all those years, we only made one political stocking," Pack said. "Fortunately, it was in a county with suitable habitat, and the birds did just fine."
The last trap-and-transplant stocking, near the Logan-Mingo county line, filled in the final blank in the DNR's map of turkey-populated counties. From the original 16 mountain and Eastern Panhandle counties, biologists had conducted stockings in 32 counties. Pack said the remaining seven counties didn't have to be stocked because nearby populations had expanded into them.
In 1989, just one year after the Logan-Mingo stocking, hunters killed turkeys in all 55 counties for the first time in decades. Pack considers the stockings to be "one of [the DNR's] biggest wildlife successes."
"The stockings greatly speeded up the process of reestablishing turkeys statewide," he said. "Their range would have expanded naturally, but with natural expansion we might not have birds in every county even today."

text: Gr 5-8--This collection goes beyond many how-to-draw books. In Villains, Heroes, and Action, Lee focuses on creating superhero cartoon characters in both classic comic-book and anime styles. Young artists are encouraged to start with basic forms and then define their subjects, gradually adding details until the picture is complete. As he demonstrates the drawings, the author explains how to use posing, angle of perspective, and careful composition to make illustrations have more impact. The remaining three titles focus on other aspects of creating graphic novels, including storyboarding, designing a catchy cover, page layout, and inking and coloring techniques. Despite a few small typographical errors, this series is likely to be a popular choice for aspiring graphic-novel artists.[Page 112]. (c) Copyright 2012.

State police recently staged another liquor check and ended up with some surprising results.
According to state police at least seven local businesses including Cub Foods on north Alpine, Logli Supermarket on Harlem and Woodman's Grocery Store on McFarland Road, all failed to restrict alcohol sales to minors.
Police tell 23 News these stores need to do a better job of training employees not to sell to minors.
Master Sgt. Carter says stores found violating the liquor laws could face hefty fines.

The Mainland premier soccer league committee has chopped off referee Rashid Msangi from the business after botching Azam and Mtibwa Sugar match played at the former's backyard last Sunday.
With two minutes before the match came to an end, Msangi awarded the host side a dubious penalty as the teams had tied on 1-1 draw.
Mtibwa Sugar, who were denied a clear goal midway into the second half on grounds of an offside, boycotted the penalty, a move that led to chaos and confusion for Msangi to end the match prematurely.
Azam who are chasing six more points to boost their maiden premiership title should they score more goals and pray for pacemakers Simba to lose their last match against archrivals Young Africans, have been awarded three precious points and as many goals.
The latest drama at Chamazi is the third match for the ice cream makers after the Dodoma chaos when the team played relegated Police FC and their March 10 tie against dethroned champions Yanga at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Mtibwa Sugar have been bombarded with a half million shillings fine and the loss of the match by three goals.
The exclusion has extended to linesmen duo of Samuel Mpenzu and Abdallah Uhako who are to miss the top flight officiating.
According to premier league regulation 22(3-6) Mtibwa Sugar are supposed to pay the fine ahead of their subsequent match against African Lyon to be played at the Chamazi venue tomorrow.
The premier league committee also removed from the premier league business match commissioners' trio of Abdallah Mitole, William Chibura and Omari Mawela for their failure to honour duties on their assigned matches.
The match commissioners have been told to provide written explanations linked with their missing on duties.
The trio was missing during premiership matches between Coastal Union vs Ruvu Shooting, Kagera Sugar vs Yanga and Kagera Sugar vs African Lyon, respectively.
In similar circumstances, the match commissioner who was supposed to be on duty when Moro United played Oljoro JKT, Ali Mkomwa and Said Mnonga, areferee during Villa Squad and Coastal Union encounter have been served with warning letters needing them to be careful next time.
The premier league committee members went on to suspend Kilimanjaro referee Nathaniel Lazaro who officiated a match between Moro United and Oljoro JKT for six months. Beside the suspension, he has also been omitted from the premier league after an infringement of breeching regulation number 26(1) (f) for time keeping.

Wand core
this wiki
The core of a wand is a magical substance placed within inside the length of wood. They are usually bits extracted from some sort of Magical Being or Creature. The materials used for wand cores can vary widely, though certain wand-makers may prefer to use certain materials; for example, Garrick Ollivander discovered and pioneered the use of phoenix feathers, dragon heartstrings, and unicorn tail hairs, wheras his father used lesser substances such as Kelpie hair and Kneazle whisker.[1]
Known Core Materials
|Core Material
|Known Wands Using that Core
|Dragon heartstring
|Phoenix feather
|Unicorn tail hair
|Veela hair
|Thestral tail hair
The core type is known to influence the "personality" of the wand produced with it. For example, the wand-maker Garrick Ollivander will not use Veela hair for cores because he believes they make for "temperamental" wands. Thestral hair wands are also an interesting to note in that it cannot simply be "mastered" by winning them; Thestral tail hair is a powerful and tricky substance that can only be mastered by a witch or wizard capable of facing death (this was hence part of the reason why Voldemort had such trouble with it).[2]
Another interesting feature of wands and their cores is that if two wands have cores from the same source — such as the wands of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, which both had cores comprised of a feather from Fawkes, Albus Dumbledore's phoenix[3] — they are said to be brothers. This can induce Priori Incantatem if the wands come into conflict with one another, such as casting different spells towards each other at roughly the same time.[4]
Prior to Ollivander's practice of using only the three "Supreme Cores", it was common for witches and wizards to present a wandmaker with a magical substance to which they had a particular attachment for use as a wand core. Such substances may have included Veela hair, Kneazle whiskers, Dittany stalks, or Kelpie manes.[5]
It is worth noting that Harry's phoenix feather wand cost 7 galleons. Horace Slughorn, however stated that unicorn tail hair was worth 10 galleons a hair. It is possible that wands made with unicorn hairs are more expensive than those made with phoenix feathers. Of course, it is equally possible that in the five years between the time Harry's wand was purchased and the night Slughorn made the comment that the market for wand material had fluctuated greatly (Most likely due to the capture of Ollivander by the Death Eaters, in no small part). It's also possible that wands are subsidized by the Ministry of Magic for students, and that the actual cost of Harry's wand was greater than the 7 galleons he paid. It is also possible that Ollivander collects wand cores himself, as he was nearly gored by the unicorn that gave the core of Cedric Diggory's wand.
Behind the scenes
- The Enchanted Feather Company is a company that presumably sells wand cores to wandmakers.
- Peacock feathers may possibly be used as wand cores.[citation needed]
- It is thought by some that Thestral hair makes for a unique personality; completely dispassionate about its allegiance and showing no emotion towards the wizard, tying in with the many changes of hands that the Elder Wand (the only known Thestral hair wand in existence) has been through. It is also a wand that has been the instrument of death many times over, which some also believe is connected to its Thestral hair core (possibly inspiring murder in the heart of its beholder(s), since Thestrals have a strong connection to death, as does the origin of the wand itself). However, the many changes of allegiance that the Elder wand has had as well as its history of winning through murder may be simply a reflection on the nature of power itself, and the means people are willing to sink to in order to attain it.
- It should be noted that, concerning the wands of the Trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione), each wand has one of the three different cores used by Ollivander: Harry's wand has a phoenix feather, Ron's wands (both his first and second) have a unicorn hair and Hermione's wands (both hers and Bellatrix's) have a dragon heartstring.

Chicago authorities say seven people were killed and six wounded in gun violence in one day.
Among those killed Saturday was a 34-year-old man whose mother had already lost her three other children to shootings. Police say Ronnie Chambers, who was his mother's youngest child, was shot in the head while sitting in a car.
Police say two separate double-homicide shootings also occurred Saturday about 12 hours apart.
In one, a 16-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed.
In another, two men were shot at a hamburger stand on the city's South Side. Police say the victims were roommates in their 40s.
Chicago's homicide count eclipsed 500 last year for the first time since 2008. Chicago's homicide rate was almost double in the early 1990s, averaging around 900.

The human brain is separated by a longitudinal fissure, separating the brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres (left hemisphere and right hemisphere) connected by the corpus callosum. The two sides of the brain are similar in appearance, and every structure in each hemisphere is generally mirrored on the other side. Despite these strong similarities, the functions of each cortical hemisphere are different.
Broad generalizations are often made in popular psychology about certain function (eg. logic, creativity) being lateralised, that is, located in the right or left side of the brain. These ideas need to be treated carefully because the popular lateralizations are often distributed across both sides.[1] However, there is some division of mental processing. Probably most fundamental to brain lateralization is the fact that the lateral sulcus is generally longer in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere. Researchers have been investigating to what extent areas of the brain are specialized for certain functions. If a specific region of the brain is injured or destroyed, their functions can sometimes be recovered by neighboring brain regions - even opposite hemispheres. This depends more on the age and the damage occurred than anything else.
It is important to note that—while functions are indeed lateralized—these lateralizations are trends and do not apply to every person in every case. Short of having undergone a hemispherectomy (the removal of an entire cerebral hemisphere) there are no "left-brained only" or "right-brained only" people.
Lateralization of brain functions is evident in the phenomena of handedness (right- or left-handedness), aural dominance - (earedness) and Ocular dominance - (eyedness). But the handedness of a person is by no means a clear indication of location of brain function. While 95% of right handers have their language functions in the left hemisphere, only 18.8% of left-handers have their language function lateralized in the right hemisphere. Additionally, 19.8% of left-handers even have bilateral language functions.[2]
Which side?
Linear reasoning functions of language such as grammar and word production are often lateralized to the left hemisphere of the brain. Dyscalculia is a neurological syndrome associated with damage to the left temporal-pariet junction[3]. This syndrome is associated with poor number manipulation, poor mental arithmetic, and an inability to understand or apply mathematical concepts.[4]
In contrast, holistic reasoning functions of language such as intonation and emphasis are often lateralized to the right hemisphere of the brain. Functions such as the transduction of visual and musical stimuli such as spatial manipulation, facial perception, and artistic ability also seem to be lateralized to the right hemisphere.
Other integrative functions such as intuitive or heuristic arithmetic, binaural sound localization, emotions, etc. seem to be more bilaterally controlled.[5]

Assessment of lateral dominance
A niumber of techniques are used to explore lateral dominance. These include:
Speech and language
Speech consists of the mechanical process required for vocalizations, such as articulation and phonation. Language is the set of arbitrary symbols used for communication, often in the form of words strung together following syntactical rules.
One of the first indications of brain function laterality arose from research by French physician Paul Broca in 1861. Broca's research involved a patient nicknamed "Tan", who had a speech deficit (aphasia). One of the few words this patient could clearly articulate was "tan", leading to his nickname. Broca performed a post-mortem autopsy and determined that Tan had a lesion, caused by syphilis, in the left cerebral hemisphere. This brain area—in the left frontal lobe—is known as Broca's area and is an important region for speech production. Deficits in speech production caused by damage to Broca's area are known as Broca's aphasia. In clinical assessment of this condition, it is noted that the patient lacks clear articulation of the language being employed.
German physician Karl Wernicke followed up on the work done by Broca by studying language deficits unlike those shown by Broca's aphasics. Wernicke noticed that not all deficits were in speech production, but rather some were linguistic. He found that damage to the left posterior, superior temporal gyrus resulted in deficits in language comprehension rather than speech production. This region is now referred to as Wernicke's area, and the associated syndrome is known as Wernicke's aphasia.
Advance in imaging technique
These seminal works on hemispheric specialization were done on patients and/or postmortem brains, raising questions about the potential impact of pathology on the research findings. New methods permit the in vivo comparison of the hemispheres in healthy subjects. Particularly, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) are important because of their high spatial resolution and ability to image subcortical brain structures.
Handedness and language
Broca's area and Wernicke's area are linked by a white matter fiber tract called the arcuate fasciculus. This axonal tract allows the neurons in these two areas to work together to create vocal language. In more than 95% of right-handed males and more than 90% of right-handed females, language and speech are subserved by the left hemisphere of the brain. In left-handed people, the incidence of left-hemisphere language dominance is 73% [7] or 61%[2], depending on the studies.
There are several ways of determining hemisphere dominance in a living human. The Wada test involves introducing an anesthetic into one hemisphere of the brain through one of the two carotid arteries. Once one hemisphere is anesthetized, a neuropsychological exam is performed to determine dominance for such functions as language production and comprehension, verbal memory, and visual memory. More modern, less invasive and, in some cases, costlier techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation, can also be used to determine dominance, but their use is controversial and still considered experimental.
Movement and sensation
In the 1940s, Canadian neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield and his neurologist colleague Herbert Jasper developed a technique of brain mapping to help reduce side effects caused by surgery to treat epilepsy. They stimulated motor and somatosensory cortices of the brain with small electrical currents to activate discrete brain regions. They found that stimulation of one hemisphere's motor cortex could produce muscle contraction on the opposite side of the body. Furthermore, the functional map of the motor and sensory cortices is fairly consistent from person to person; Penfield and Jasper's famous pictures of the motor and sensory homunculi were the result.
Split-brain patients
Research by Michael Gazzaniga and Roger Wolcott Sperry in the 1960s on split-brain patients led to an even greater understanding of functional laterality. Split-brain patients are patients who have undergone corpus callosotomy (usually as a treatment for severe epilepsy), a severing of a large part of the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum connects the two hemispheres of the brain and allows them to communicate. When these connections are cut, the two halves of the brain have a reduced capacity to communicate with each other. This led to many interesting behavioral phenomena that allowed Gazzaniga and Sperry to study the contributions of each hemisphere to various cognitive and perceptual processes. One of their main findings was that the right hemisphere was capable of rudimentary language processing, but often has no lexical or grammatical abilities[8].
Pseudoscientific exaggeration of the research
Hines (1987) states that the research on brain lateralization is valid as a research program, though commercial promoters have applied it to promote subjects and products far out of the implications of the research. For example, the implications of the research have no bearing on psychological interventions such as EMDR, brain training equipment, or management training. One explanation for being so prone to exaggeration and false application is that the left-right brain dichotomy is an easy-to-understand notion, yet is often grossly oversimplified and misused for promotion in the guise of science.[9] The research on lateralization of brain functioning is ongoing, and its implications are always tightly delineated, whereas the pseudoscientific applications are exaggerated, and applied to an extremely wide range of situations.

This orphanage is seemingly located on the outskirts of Konohagakure. It was run by warden, one of which was Nonō Yakushi — one of the captains of the Konoha Medic Corps and former member of Root. This orphanage took in children from different parts of the nation and taking care of them. During wartime, the orphanage also helped out the Konoha shinobi acting as a medical centre where the shinobi would come for treatment. It was also revealed that once old enough, the children of this orphanage could train as Konoha shinobi.[1]
Danzō Shimura, Orochimaru, and another Root ANBU visited the orphanage at some point in time where they blackmailed Nonō into undertaking a mission for the organisation. Kabuto, who was a ward of the orphanage joined the organisation after Danzō noted that he needed someone to take the place of a Root member that was slain.[2]

The CAPA Program ended December 31, 2013 after nearly 23 years of sewer installation. Since 1990 a total of 882 Capital Facilities Rate Grants were provided and 703 connection loans were arranged for low income Spokane County homeowners.
The Housing and Community Development Division administers the Community Aquifer Protection Assistance (CAPA) Program which provides grants and/or zero-interest loans to eligible low-income homeowners to help with paying the costs of connecting their homes to the county's centralized sewer system.
This assistance is available only to eligible homeowners within previously defined "sewer basins" which are currently under construction, have been recently completed, or are slated for construction in the following year.
Zero-interest loans are provided to eligible low-income participants to pay the costs of connecting their homes to the sewer. Grants are additionally provided to eligible very-low-income homeowners to pay the Capital Facilities Rate (CFR) levied against their property in connection with the installation of sewer mains.
Community Development Block Grant Funds (CDBG) are appropriated annually to Spokane County by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are administered through the County's Community Services, Housing, and Community Development Department. Subject to the availability of federal funds, CDBG funds are used to assist eligible homeowners in the County Sewer Project areas with the costs of Capital Facilities Rate (CFR) and/or connection of residences to the centralized system.
This assistance may help pay for side sewer connections for eligible low-income and moderate-income homeowners and Capital Facilities Rate (CFR) for eligible low-income homeowners. This financial assistance will be provided in the form of grants for Capital Facilities Rate (CFR), which never have to be repaid and deferred loans for side sewer connections. Deferred loans become due when the ownership on the house changes or the home is refinanced.
To request information on the CAPA Program contact Christy Jeffers at (509) 477-4490.
Spokane County assures that grants will be conducted and administered in compliance with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3620), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Executive Orders 11063, 11625, 12138, 12432 and 12892, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), the Americans with Disabilities Act (title II) and implementing regulations.
