SAN FRANCISCO (July 12, 2013)--A girl who was seriously injured in the crash of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport died Friday, Dr. Margaret Knudson, San Francisco General Hospital's chief of surgery, said.
The girl had been in critical condition since arriving at the hospital after the plane crashed, killing two others and leaving others in critical condition.
Officials did not identify the girl at the request of her parents and her age also was withheld.
Earlier Friday San Francisco fire officials said of the two Chinese girls who were killed in the crash was already dead when airport personnel found her.
Fire spokesman Mindy Talmadge said Friday that the girl, identified as Wang Linjia, 16, was found along with three flight attendants near a runway seawall.
Linjia was not the girl who police said was run over by a truck.
The National Transportation Safety Board says three flight attendants were thrown from the back of the plane when the jet broke open.
The attendants all survived.
Linjia's friend, Ye Meng Yuan, 16, was hit by the truck while covered in firefighting foam, but it's not clear whether she was already dead when that happened.

This hypothetical situation has come up at work, and I thought I would bring it up here to see what the general opinion is.
The bar I work at gets really crowded on football game days, too the point where moving through the crowd can become difficult, and usually when I'm moving through, if someone has their back to me ill put my hand either on their SOB, or at about the 4:00 a couple inches above their waist and ask politely for them to "make way."
If I was doing this and felt a firearm on the person, they would have to be removed from the premesis (it is illegal to have a firearm in Ohio in any establishment that serves any alcohol). We have police doing special duty for gamedays, but they stay outside of the street we have blocked off outside, and from where I usually work its a good 50 yards through the crowd, plus loud music etc ...
But, I wouldn't want to just leave the person, and they would certainly know that they had been made after I made contact with the weapon. But trying to take the weapon from them would introduce it into the crowd in someones hand, as well ad the fact that I know i would put up one ******* fight if anyone other than a cop tried to take my gun.
Thankfully this is just a hypothetical, and hasn't happened to me or any other employee at the bar yet, but stranger things have happened, and it never can hurt to at least have some sort of plan in your head. Just thought I'd see if anyone had any opinons on how they would resolve the matter of getting the firearm out of the establishment without getting anyone hurt/killed.
No, most of us don't have radios except for the one supervisor in each area, and its usually hard to figure out where the other guys are if they are down in the crowd, its much more of a "club" atmoshpere than bar, loud music, tighly packed crowd, ect... so yelling hands and waving for help isn't the most effective method either.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am wonderfully made; awesome are your works" (Psalm 139:13-14).
Reflection: This psalm not only declares that God made us in the womb, but also that the life in the womb belongs completely to him, is called by him, and is destined to fulfill a plan given only to that individual from all eternity.
Prayer: Lord, what kind of an act is it to destroy a life by abortion? Forgive those who deny the child's right to live, and destroy your intricate handiwork and plan initiated from all eternity. Amen.

Last night 2 Chainz joined Any Samberg for a skit on SNL. Samberg appeared as "Blizzard Man" and hit Superhits Studios with Tity. Everyone in the studio knows Blizzy's bars are awful, but Chainz continues to co-sign the rapper that he claims has "the street cred of Kathryn Heigl." Watch the funny skit below.

Jack Cressend returned to Tulane for his second stint with the Green Wave and second year as an assistant coach. A standout player for the Green Wave from 1994-96, Cressend went on to a notable eleven year professional career, pitching five years in the Major Leagues. Cressend assists coach Rick Jones with recruiting, is in charge of scheduling, summer baseball player placement and serves as the team's pitching coach.
In his first season with Tulane, four pitchers from Cressend's Green Wave staff went on to earn professional contracts: Aaron Loup (drafted in the ninth round by Toronto), Josh Zeid (10th round, Philadelphia), Taylor Rogers (26th round, San Francisco) and Jonathan Garrett (free agent, Anaheim). In addition, RHP Conrad Flynn finished third in the NCAA in fewest walks and was named First Team All-Louisiana with a 8-3 record and 3.93 ERA. RHP Nick Pepitone earned a spot on Team USA and tossed 14 innings of shutout baseball, allowing two hits for the Red, White & Blue. For the Wave, Pepitone posted a 3.63 ERA with a team-high nine saves. Overall, Tulane's pitching staff was eighth in the NCAA in fewest walks allowed and finished with a 4.63 team ERA.
A two-way player as a pitcher and outfielder, Cressend helped the Green Wave to two NCAA Tournament appearances (1994, 1996) and one Conference USA Tournament title in 1996. In 1996, Cressend was named to the All-Conference USA tournament team after pitching a complete game shutout with eleven strikeouts in the championship game against South Florida. Cressend also led all of Conference USA in strikeouts that year.
In two summers in the Cape Cod League, Cressend posted a 14-1 record and earned All-Star honors each season with the Cotuit Kettleers, earning team MVP honors in 1996.
Despite being overlooked in the draft, he signed a professional contract with the Boston Red Sox organization following his junior year and went on to play 11 seasons of professional baseball including five seasons (2000-04) in the major leagues with the Minnesota Twins and the Cleveland Indians. In 1997, Cressend was named the Red Sox's minor league pitcher of the year after leading Class A Sarasota in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, and games started. In 2002, Cressend was a member of the American League Central Division Champion Minnesota Twins. The Twins ended up losing to the eventual World Series Champion Anaheim Angels in the American League Championship Series. Cressend's best season in the major leagues came in 2004 with Cleveland when he posted a 2.51 ERA in 43 innings pitched with only nine walks. Over his entire professional career, Cressend made 370 appearances pitching 953 innings with 820 strikeouts. His career major league numbers are 160 innings pitched, 104 strikeouts, 5-5 record and 4.20 ERA. Cressend also has the distinction of striking out the first batter he ever faced in professional baseball as well as striking out the last batter he ever faced.
Cressend returned to the college game after serving as an area scout for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2006-08. He also founded and coached the Louisiana Knights, a traveling baseball team designed to help high school players get more exposure to college coaches. Over the two years Cressend was involved with the Knights program, he coached and helped over 40 players reach the college baseball ranks. He remains one of Tulane's career pitching leaders, ranking seventh in strikeouts per nine innings with 9.96, and is ranked eighth in opponent batting average (.257). He also holds several single season records, including strikeouts per nine innings with 10.78, in 1996. He is currently ranked ninth for appearances (29) and eighth for combined shutouts (2) in the Tulane baseball record books.
Cressend earned his bachelor's of science degree from the A. B. Freeman School of Business from Tulane in 2008. He and his wife, Katy, have two sons: Cole and Cameron and reside in Mandeville, La.

GF music question
Hey guys,
I was watchin some vids on youtube, and I watched the cutscene of when charlie gets the suitcase full of Double N tickets you know "Dont forget to pay your dues..." :P and I really like the music but i cant find it in the soundtrack, is it there or to get it am I gonna have to extract it some how from the game (which would be kinda pointless since its like wat 30 seconds or more i think)
Could you link to the YouTubes?
You're right, I can't find it either.. weird! One would think it's included just like every other track in the game..
Though it was years ago I've played, I recognize the song. Isn't it called "Hector steps in"? It's also played in other areas, especially when you read the note from Hector in Year 4.
Nice memory! Just had a look and it's called Hector's Foyer in the file YEAR4MUS.LAB
Thanks! I did a second search and it turned out that some of the tunes weren't in my winamp GF playlist, one of them being this tune. Now it's complete :)
Whoa, sorry guys im replying like a month later, just got caught up with school work n ****
thnx for the find, so how do i get a hold of this song? and if i have to do it by extraction any programs/things i need to use?
grab yourself a copy of scumm revisited from here http://scumm.mixnmojo.com/?page=utils
this will let you open up and explore the .lab files, listen to all the music files, and save the ones you want as a .wav file.
thnx everyone :D

College Hockey:Ferris State Hammers Nebraska-Omaha
Freshman Netminder Nagle Sparkles
OMAHA, Neb. — A trio of first period goals and a nearly flawless debut performance from freshman goaltender Pat Nagle proved more than enough as Ferris State steamrolled Nebraska-Omaha 5-1 in front of 5,720 at Qwest Center Omaha on Friday night.
The two teams came into the series following a week in which they were on opposite ends of sweeps in league play, and it was the Bulldogs who took the upper hand Friday and never fully let go.
The Bulldogs seemed keen to get the taste of last week's sweep at the hands of Bowling Green in Big Rapids out of their mouths, and they did not waste much time getting to work.
At 5:18 of the opening period, opportunity struck when a east-to-west pass in the UNO zone was blocked by Maverick center Joey Martin. It was a smart move defensively by the freshman, to be fair, but the resulting loose puck fell to the stick of Brendan Connolly a few feet in front of the net before he beat Jerad Kaufmann low glove-side.
Ferris State would double their lead just under two minutes later when freshman defenseman Scott Wietecha put a missile of a one-timer from the blue line past Kaufmann into the far bottom corner of the net. Wietecha's first collegiate goal went a long way toward silencing the home crowd and cementing Ferris State's dominance in the first frame.
The Mavericks would pull a goal back on their first sustained trip past the FSU blue line, though, as the rebound from a Rich Purslow shot found its way to Mick Lawrence and he swatted the puck home at 8:58 for his seventh goal of the season.
Unfortunately for the Mavericks, Ferris State would push the deficit back to two soon after when Corey Couturier came from behind the UNO net and beat Kaufmann low from a bad angle.
It was at this point that UNO coach Mike Kemp decided he had seen enough, and pulled Kaufmann in favor of sophomore Jeremie Dupont.
Kemp said that there weren't any words exchanged between him and Kaufmann at that stage.
"There's not much to say. I mean, I'm trying to get him out of there because he was struggling at that point in time."
Kaufmann was blunt when asked about his thoughts on the game.
"We're not happy. None of us are happy," he said. "That was embarrassing for us, and it can't happen the rest of the year."
"We came out flat. We weren't prepared physically. Our guys weren't in it, and that goes for myself included. We need to correct that and come back Sunday and really be flying."
The second period started in similar fashion to the first, as a low-percentage shot from sophomore winger Blair Riley rang in off the post to make the score 4-1.
Riley's goal aside, the second period wasn't one that will live long in the memory banks. Both sides canceled each other out for the remaining 15 minutes or so of the frame as Ferris State showed little urgency to add to their lead and UNO continued to struggle to create many genuine scoring chances.
Despite giving up a goal on the first shot he faced in his collegiate career, Bulldog freshman goaltender Pat Nagle rarely faced much sustained pressure from the opposition in the opening 40 minutes, picking up 19 saves in that stretch of time en route to a total of 31 on the night.
The game reached its final score at 14:57 of the third period when a set-up pass from Matt Frank found J.T. Dahlinger in front of the net about a stick's length from Dupont before he slotted home.
It was about as comprehensive a victory as Ferris State could have hoped for, and one that Kemp was not at all happy about.
"It rests solely on us. Their effort was better than ours, and as a result of that, the results were not what we would want," he said. "They beat us to loose pucks, and they out-competed us."
In contrast, Ferris State head coach Bob Daniels was generally pleased with his team's effort. He threw extra praise on the Bulldogs' special teams after they killed a 5-on-3 power play early in the third period that negated any realistic chance of the Mavericks getting back into the game.
"I thought we did a pretty good job of killing off that 5-on-3," Daniels said. "I thought that was really a big kill. I can see where they score a lot of goals, though. They've got a lot of forwards who move well in transition.
"We feel somewhat fortunate, because we did make a lot of errors where I thought they had odd-man rushes, and we got away with it, but I don't know if we would get away with that same game on Sunday if we don't play better than we did today."
The series now takes a rare extended break before the two teams face each other once more on Sunday afternoon at 2:05.

"Kabhi Kabhie; Love Is Life" (English: Sometimes...) is a 1976 Bollywood film, produced and directed by Yash Chopra, starring Waheeda Rehman, Shashi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Raakhee Gulzar, Neetu Singh and Rishi Kapoor. This was Yash Chopra's second directorial film with Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in the lead roles after Deewar. The movie was a great commercial success with excellent performances and haunting music by Khayyam.
The movie's concept came to Yash Chopra while he was reading a poem by his longtime friend (and also the film's lyricist) Sahir Ludhianvi. The movie was shot by Yash Chopra in Kashmir. During filming, all the cast stayed together as a family and contributed to every aspect of the film, even bringing their families with them to Kashmir where they were used as extras in the wedding scenes. It was one of Yash Chopra's happiest experiences and he described the production as a honeymoon. The film had been written with Raakhee in mind, and she had agreed to do it during the making of Daag (1973) but before production started she married Sampooran Singh Gulzar, who wanted her to retire from acting. However, after some persuasion from Yash Chopra, Gulzar let her do the film.
* Best Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi
* Best Music Director: Mohammed_Zahur_Khayyam
* Best Playback Singer: (Male) Mukesh
* Best Screenplay: Sagar Sarhadi................
Mukesh (Hindi: मुकेश ) (July 22, 1923--August 27, 1976) was an Indian playback singer of Bollywood. Along with Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar, he was one of the three leading male Bollywood playback singers from the 1950s to the 1970s.....
Mukesh's son, Nitin Mukesh, was a fairly popular singer in the 1980s and sings mostly devotional religious songs these days. His grandson Neil Mukesh is an upcoming actor who debuted in Johnny Gaddaar which released in September 2007.....
National Film Awards; * 1974 - National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for Kain baar yoon bhi dekhaa hai song in the film Rajnigandha.
Filmfare Awards; * 1959 - Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for Subkuchh seekha humne song in the film Anari * 1970 - Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for Sabse bada naadan song in the film Pehchan * 1972 - Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for Jai bolo beiman ki song in the film Beimaan * 1976 - Filmfare Best Male Playback Award for Kabhi khabhi mere dil mein song in the film Kabhi Kabhie...

She has done playback singing for over 980 Bollywood movies, and has sung songs in over twenty Indian languages. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer, Asha Bhosle....

She has also won four Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards. In 1969, she made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.
In 1984, the State Government of Madhya Pradesh instituted the Lata Mangeshkar Award in honor of Lata Mangeshkar. The State Government of Maharashtra also instituted a Lata Mangeshkar Award in 1992.
In 1974, The Guinness Book of Records listed Lata Mangeshkar as the most recorded artist in the history, stating that she had reportedly recorded "not less than 25,000 solo, duet and chorus backed songs in 20 Indian languages" between 1948 and 1974.
Although the entry has not been printed in Guinness editions since 1991, reputable sources claim that she has recorded thousands of songs, with estimates ranging up to figures as large as 50,000.
Lata is the second vocalist to receive "Bharat Ratna", India's highest civilian honour......

P. Simpson's Hometown Grille: Simpsonville, SC
I went ahead and made reservations via Opentable.com since they were one of the 1,000 dining rewards restaurants, BIG mistake. I didn't even realize that my opentable account and strugglinghomebrewer.com are linked together thus making a reservation at 5:30 on a weeknight and being the only people in the restaurant. Needless to say, service was excellent, maybe too excellent to the point where we were uncomfortable. Our main server did a fine job all on his own making sure we were taken care of and all, but then they threw in a second server to check on us in-between of our regular server. Then we also had the owner trying to take care of us as well. It was almost to the point where we interacted more with the staff and owner of the restaurant more than I was able to enjoy my family and my meal. Needless to say, this is why I needed to go back and experience things at a different time and setting before I could write this.
All of that aside, let's talk about the food. After several trips to P. Simpson's, I have learned one thing (and this is just my opinion) on this fine local restaurant who I believe is a huge contributor to the wonderful community of Simpsonville, stick with the small plates! What you see above is probably one of the single most desirable appetizers I have ever had. Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers, Italian Sausage, Roasted Tomato Sauce, Parmesan Cheese...8. You get two whole banana peppers each stuffed with an Italian sausage that the owner has shipped in fresh from his hometown in Ohio somewhere. The tomato sauce, not sure if it is homemade or not, but it has such wonderful sweet flavor and compliments the pepper and sausage well. This dish is absolutely to die for and one that I constantly rave about to others. Sit at the bar, have a cocktail, and order this dish.
On our first, uncomfortable visit with the entire family, we each ordered entrees. I went with Ava Jane's Shrimp and Grits, Country Ham Crème Sauce, Blackened Shrimp, Fresh Tomato and Spinach Grits…17. The wife went with "3 Generations" Angus Sirloin, Hand Cut Aged "Certified Angus, Fresh Vegetables, Roasted Red Potatoes, and Sautéed Mushrooms…16. I see a ton of reviews about how overpriced this place is etc... But I'll be honest; it really isn't overpriced at all. I can see it both ways just from firsthand experience, but if they were putting out the quality of food they say they are, then this place is a bargain and you would pay, in some cases, twice as much downtown for the exact same meal. My shrimp and grits had plenty of room for improvement, mostly in the shrimp, but overall the dish was wonderful.
Here is where the value could possibly be critiqued a little, the shrimp used were maybe a 35-40 count in size and were way overcooked by the time it arrived to the table. Now instead of putting a dozen or so tiny shrimp where you lose all control over quality in the preparation, I would have preferred to see 4 or so much larger shrimp where you can control the cooking quality much easier and present a much higher quality dish, but again, this is just personal preference. The wife's steak wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad either. The presentation was a little sloppy at best, but overall a quality cut sirloin that was seasoned properly and cooked perfect to the wife's Medium well.
As for a family friendly establishment, I was a little nervous going into this place as my perception of the Upstate and higher-end restaurants it offers are not as kid friendly as you would find in other parts of the country. P. Simpson's is not one of those. They are about as kid friendly as Chuck E. Cheese's and that is the honest truth. They bring the kids markers and let them color all over the walls, in every little nook and cranny and the kids just loved every part of it. Overall, it also gives the restaurant a nice feel and very comfortable setting and not the stuck-up environment I was expecting. Lesson learned, don't judge a book by its cover and try out local restaurants even if what you find online scares you away (for example this site, just one man and family's opinion).
Bottom-line, my family and I will be making P. Simpson's a regular stop on our family favorites list of local family owned places, but we will be sticking to the small plates (appetizer) menu. The bar area is as unique in character as the restaurant itself and offers two complete different dining experiences in one restaurant. Take the wife out for Tapas and cocktails and sit in the bar, or take the whole family and friends out for dinner and get a little bit of everything on the small plates menu to share. I know my kids are begging to go back and I will have to cave in again someday, but for now, this place is a favorite for just the wife and I to enjoy some quality time away from the kids.
On a separate note, in an effort in try to increase traffic to our little blog more (we currently average about 7,500-10,000 visitors a month and want to see that double in size next year so we stay motivated to continue doing what we are doing), we created a Facebook page for our readers. In the months ahead, we will be giving away a gift certificate to one of our lucky fans on our Facebook page to this very restaurant. More details to follow, but don't wait and like us on Facebook now!

Pat Metheny: Missouri Uncompromised
Missouri Uncompromised
Pat Metheny (guitar)
Bright Size Life (ECM)
Pat Metheny (guitar), Jaco Pastorius (electric bass), Bob Moses (drums).
Composed by Pat Metheny.
Recorded: December 1975
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
On this high swinging number from Pat Metheny's landmark debut, Bright Size Life, he finds himself in immaculate company with Pastorius on bass and Bob Moses on drums. Pastorius anchors this song with a drive and determination that very few bass players during this time could have done. Metheny displays his strong melodic virtuosity on this song, running up and down the neck of the guitar at break neck speed. Bob Moses also holds it down, playing a contagious swing pattern and adds some nice accents underneath the solo action. Another great track from a stellar, unforgettable album. Pastorius and company are in their prime on this one!

EAT YOUR HEART OUT BLUE MAN GROUP! Meet Kent AKA snubbyj who has been wowin' YouTuber with his amazing covers of pop songs with the use of a homemade PVC pipe instrument. Inspired by Blue Man Group, Kent went on to build his own and started posting videos online. My favorite of his collection of videos has to be his performance of various songs from 'Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'. In the beginning of the performance, Kent is plays his own rendition of Kokiri Forest, Kaepora Gaebora, Saria's Song/Lost Woods, Windmill/Song of Storms, Market, Shooting Gallery, Zelda's Lullaby, and Sheik's Theme. Later into the video, a second Kent jumps in a the performance goes into high gear with Gerudo Valley and the Legend of Zelda theme song. What pretty cool is that Kent doesn't have a twin and with a little video editing, he was able to produce an extra set of hands to create even a more dynamic sound. Whats kind creepy is the fact that the second Kent (in red) keeps are staring at the camera and at the other Kent (in blue). It's almost like hes trying to tell us, "yeah, THAT just happened". I don't know about you, but now I'm a huge fan of snubbyj.
Hit the jump and check out Kent's video performance of the music of Ocarina of Time on a PVC Pipe instrument!

The Missouri Public School System has also been working on recruitment and retention of teachers. The report, "Recruitment and Retention of Teachers in Missouri Public Schools" revealed that
's teacher workforce grew by 22.6 percent between 1991 and 2001 with addition of 12,000 teachers. It also found that of the 2,529 teachers who entered Missouri's public school workforce for the first time in 1990-1991 school year, 20.3 percent left the classroom after one, two, or three years on the job. By 1998, more than one-fourth of the teachers who entered the system that school year left during the first three years.
New York
Teacher recruitment and retention is a challenge for the state of New York. However, it is using a wide range of approaches to recruit and retain highly qualified teachers in hard-to-staff schools and subject areas and schools serving large percentages of minority, low income families.
In September 2001, the Kentucky School Boards Association and partners including Kentucky Department of Education contracted with Horizon Research International to conduct a series of discussion groups among
public school teachers. The purpose of this research was to identify and understand the critical factors impacting workplace and job satisfaction.
South Carolina
South Carolina
has some of the same programs that can be found in
North Carolina
. There is a Teacher Cadet Program, a Teaching Fellows Program, and Teacher Leaders Program. Please find out more about these programs at:
North Carolina is not the only state with teacher attrition problems. The Midwest has also been grappling with the situation. A study involving seven states in the Midwest has found that new teacher support programs appear to be one of the most valuable tools for reducing teacher attrition. Fifty-two percent of the superintendents in the region who have implemented and rated a new teacher support program reported that the program has been "very successful" in reducing attrition. The study "Effective Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategies in the Midwest: Who is Making Use of Them" included Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin .
This study offers excellent ideas for recruitment and retention of teachers. It can be found at
and at
. Please take a look what each state is doing.
These are a few suggestions from the Southeast:
"Grow your own" approaches have merit
While signing bonuses send a signal that teachers are valued, they may not be sufficient
Improving working conditions may help reduce turnover
Better data is needed to inform good decisions
States are increasingly becoming involved in strategies that compliment district recruitment efforts. Mississippi, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, California, Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina are all doing something about recruitment and retention of teachers.

Cost Center Categories can be created in the table: V_TKA05. No need to assign these cost Center categories for creating Cost Centers.
Actually cost centers creation by FI people, Sometime if they are not available might be we need to create the cost centers. But as a functional consultant we need to know creation of cost centers and cost elements it is basic knowledge for posting to FI.
Cost center categories used for activity type planning.
Ex; allow activity type Phr(production hours) to be planned on all cost centers with category production cost centers. This means the activity type cannot be planned on an admin cost centers by mistake.
CCC for activation/deactivation or lock for following indicators.
Lock primiary cost centers
Lock secondary cost centers
Lock primary cost planning
lock secondary cost planning.
Categories of cost centers:
Production cost centers
Admin cost centers
Service cost centers
these categories we will use in cost center hierarchy, based on this we will difrenctiate the cost centers.
These CCC will assign to fucntional areas in the table of V_TKA05.
It will allow for lock and activation/deactivation indicators.
Prior to creating any cost centers in your controlling area, you must first complete the standard hierarchy as it is the central cost center hierarchy and acts as the one repository for all the cost centers.
KSH2 - Standard Hierarchy
Enter your Company Code which is the highest node
Click Lower Level (insert cost center group)
Then click Insert Cost Center
To create cost center refer following link
