[MLS RE-ENTRY DRAFT] Los Angeles selected six players, including two of its own players from the roster that won MLS Cup last month, in Stage 2 of the MLS
Re-Entry Draft conducted Monday.
Chicago and New England also selected multiple players, but the Galaxy by itself accounted for one-half of the 12 selections made by five teams. Once all other teams have passed, a team can select players from its own team. In the latter phase, the Galaxy re-claimed defenders Frankie Hejduk and Dasan Robinson, after it had already picked centerback Andrew Boyens (Chivas USA), right back Chris Leitch (San Jose), goalie Jon Conway (Chicago), and attacker Pat Noonan (Seattle).
Teams were ranked in reverse order of their 2011 finish. Seattle swung a late trade to acquire the No. 1 pick from Vancouver and used it to grab D.C. United defender/midfielder Marc Burch. New England picked forward Nate Jaqua, and in the next move Chicago claimed Revs attacker Kheli Dube. Colorado made the first of its two selections by taking Fire midfielder Baggio Husidic, and LA claimed Boyens with the 18th pick. Expansion Montreal passed to close out the initial phase.
New England (Clyde Simms/D.C. United) and Colorado (Hunter Freeman/Houston) were the only teams besides the Galaxy to pick in the second round, and after that it was LA all the way.
Teams have seven days to negotiate a contract with a player taken in Stage 2. If no agreement is reached, the player's rights revert to his 2011 club. Players not selected in either Stage 1 or Stage 2 are free to negotiate with any team.
In Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft conducted last week, only three players were chosen: Arturo Alvarez (Chivas USA), Danleigh Borman (New England) and Carlos Mendes (Columbus). Alvarez and Borman were out of contract and have been offered bona fide deals, as per league regulations. If they do not agree to terms, the clubs that claimed them retain their rights within MLS.
The Crew picked up the option on Mendes' contract and he has been added to the Columbus roster.

Lessons from the DOTS Expansion Plan in Indonesia: highlighting human resource development
Carmelia Basria, Petra Heitkampb, Firdosi Mehtab
Indonesia ranks third among the TB high-burden countries. A decade of TB control using the DOTS strategy has facilitated progress towards reaching the 2005 international targets for TB control. Indonesia reported a case detection rate of 68% for 2005 and a success rate of 87% for the 2004 patients' cohort. The strong political commitment and leadership shown by the Indonesian government from 1999 onwards have led to the development of today's TB control strategy. This commentary highlights three key pillars towards the achievement of the 2005 targets.
First, a sound and well-budgeted five-year strategic plan,1 following the Global DOTS Expansion Plan as explained in Enarson & Billo's paper, laid the foundation for implementation and attracted donor funding, including two grants from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund).
Second, the NTP focused on human resources development and cascaded training through a bilateral donor grant. The cascaded training programme, which started in late 2000, allowed training of different categories of staff. During the biennium 2002–2003, over 5000 (34.7%) doctors and nurses at the health-centre level were trained out of the total pool of trainees estimated at 14 474. The health ministry reports that 98% of TB staff at health centre facilities and approximately 24% of TB staff at hospitals are trained in DOTS. A core of master trainers at the regional level initiated and supervised the planning and coordination of training activities. Training activities were gradually shifted to the districts after a central training group was established to act as catalyst and reference point in accordance with guidelines and curricula.2 Through the Global Fund funding, as part of the overall human resource development plan, teams of mobile master trainers helped clear the training backlog at the health-centre level. In addition, training coordinators are in place at the NTP and in most provinces.
Third, management capacity has been strengthened at all levels, with a key initiative to establish provincial DOTS teams as well as to decentralize the Global Fund management to district level. The Global Fund has acted as a pull mechanism for improving surveillance and information flows.
Indonesia is moving forward in implementing the new 2006–2010 five-year plan for TB control3 in line with the new Stop TB Strategy. The 2004 prevalence survey4 shows a large geographical difference in TB burden, reflecting the need for area-specific planning, including adoption of the International Standards for TB Control (ISTCs) among all health-care providers. This also addresses the challenge of TB/HIV in affected provinces, and prevents multidrug-resistant TB by strengthening laboratory networks and surveillance. The involvement of all health-care providers in Java and Bali prioritizes linkages between hospitals and health-care centres. In eastern Indonesia and remote areas of Sumatra, the main focus is on strengthening the most peripheral health centres, supported by community-based schemes and NGOs. Many inconsistencies remain in translating these TB policies into local plans and budgets; fostering local government commitment is a related challenge. The 2006–2010 strategic plan outlines strategies addressing these issues. The challenge is to sustain momentum and build on the foundations laid in the first strategic plan. ■

AVON — Kevin Franchetti had four hits all season when he came to the plate with two out and two on in the ninth inning Sunday.
He picked a perfect time to get hit No. 5.
On a full-count after taking a close pitch that looked like strike three, Franchetti hit a looper into shallow right that fell in, scoring Anderson Hidalgo from third with the winning run as the Lake Erie Crushers pulled out a 3-2 win over the Evansville Otters at All Pro Freight Stadium.
Only 857 fans — the fewest in franchise history — saw the dramatic finish, however.
Still, the win was the Crushers' fourth in their last at-bat this season and snapped losing streaks of three at home and two overall. It also prevented what could have been the first series sweep by an opponent this season.
"It feels pretty good (to get my first walk-off hit)," said Franchetti, who went 1-for-4 with an RBI. "It's even better to finally get a win out of this series. We were down 0-2 and we didn't want to get swept.
"I was just looking to put the ball in play in that situation."
With the game tied at 2 in the bottom of the ninth, Anderson Hidalgo led off with a walk, went to second on a Juan Sanchez sacrifice and took third on pinch hitter Emmanuel Quiles' groundout to first.
Evansville closer Orlando Santos (1-2) then walked Brian Haggett on four pitches to get to the No. 9 hitter, Franchetti, who was hitting .190 (4-for-21).
"I saw that they were pitching around Haggett a little bit, especially after he got down 2-0," Franchetti said. "I saw that (Santos) was pumping a little bit so I was looking for a fastball to hit. He threw me a 2-2 slider so I figured 3-2, he's going to come right after me. He definitely didn't want to face the top of the order in that situation. I had some bad at-bats the first three times up, so it felt good to see a fastball right there and drive it to the right side."
Crushers manager Chris Mongiardo, who signed Franchetti the day before the start of the regular season, was pleased to see his backup catcher come through.
"I wanted a backup who could potentially play every day if he had to and he's really doing a fantastic job catching," Mongiardo said. "It was nice to see him get the big hit today, but I'm really happy with the way he's been catching. He's been doing a great job with our pitchers."
Sunday starter Jose Rosario is a perfect example. While Rosario didn't factor in the decision, he pitched 5⅓ scoreless innings, scattering four hits and two walks, while striking out four. He lowered his ERA from 2.07 to 1.43 in the process.
"Rosario really bounced back after his last outing," Mongiardo said. "Even though he was on a day-short rest, this is really the first time he's been on a regular routine and he really pitched a great game. He came out and threw strikes with the fastball and, while he didn't have a feel for his breaking ball, he commanded the fastball and did a great job."
Franchetti talked with Rosario before the game and they mapped out a game plan.
"He wanted the big target to start off with and he wanted it down a bit," Franchetti said. "I think he threw all fastballs the first three innings and then we mixed in a change-up in the fourth inning. But he was on. When a pitcher's in a rhythm like that, I feel it's my responsibility to keep him in that rhythm. He definitely set the tone for today. He did an excellent job."
Vincent Mejia gave the Crushers (12-7) their first lead of the series with a two-out RBI double in the sixth. He scored on a pinch-hit single by Hidalgo.
Reliever Zac Treece gave the lead back, however, when John Schultz hit a two-out, two-run double in the top of the seventh.
But the Crushers, who struck out 10 times and were held to five hits by four Evansville pitchers, somehow found a way to win.
- Tuesday's game against Normal is "Ten-Cent Hog Dog Night." All hot dogs will be sold for just a dime all game long. It's the first of two such promotions this season, the other set for Aug. 10.
- Tuesday should also mark the return of Crushers veteran Andrew Davis to the lineup. Mongiardo said he expects the doctors to clear Davis before the game.
Contact Dan Gilles at 329-7135 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
WHO: Lake Erie vs. Normal
WHEN: Tuesday, 7:05 p.m.
WHERE: All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon
PITCHERS: Kibby (2-1, 2.38 ERA) vs. MacDonald (1-0, 1.99)


text: Vagrant mentioned on IRC that ltsp_config now support sourcing files from /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config.d/ on the thin clients, and that this can be used to fetch configuration from LDAP if we choose to store configuration there. Armed with this information, I got inspired and wrote a test module to get configuration from LDAP. The idea is to look up the MAC address of the client in LDAP, and look for attributes on the form ltspconfigsetting=value, and use this to export SETTING=value to the LTSP clients. The goal is to be able to store the LTSP configuration attributes in a "computer" LDAP object used by both DNS and DHCP, and thus allowing us to store all information about a computer in one place. This is a untested draft implementation, and I welcome feedback on this approach. A real LDAP schema for the ltspClientAux objectclass need to be written. Comments, suggestions, etc? # Store in /opt/ltsp/$arch/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp_config.d/ldap-config # # Fetch LTSP client settings from LDAP based on MAC address # # Uses ethernet address as stored in the dhcpHost objectclass using # the dhcpHWAddress attribute or ethernet address stored in the # ieee802Device objectclass with the macAddress attribute. # # This module is written to be schema agnostic, and only depend on the # existence of attribute names. # # The LTSP configuration variables are saved directly using a # ltspConfig prefix and uppercasing the rest of the attribute name. # To set the SERVER variable, set the ltspConfigServer attribute. # # Some LDAP schema should be created with all the relevant # configuration settings. Something like this should work: # # objectclass ( 22.214.171.124 NAME 'ltspClientAux' # SUP top # AUXILIARY # MAY ( ltspConfigServer $ ltsConfigSound $ ... ) LDAPSERVER=$(debian-edu-ldapserver) if [ "$LDAPSERVER" ] ; then LDAPBASE=$(debian-edu-ldapserver -b) for MAC in $(LANG=C ifconfig |grep -i hwaddr| awk '{print $5}'|sort -u) ; do filter="(|(dhcpHWAddress=ethernet $MAC)(macAddress=$MAC))" ldapsearch -h "$LDAPSERVER" -b "$LDAPBASE" -v -x "$filter" | \ grep '^ltspConfig' | while read attr value ; do # Remove prefix and convert to upper case attr=$(echo $attr | sed 's/^ltspConfig//i' | tr a-z A-Z) # bass value on to clients eval "$attr=$value; export $attr" done done fi I'm not sure this shell construction will work, because I suspect the while block might end up in a subshell causing the variables set there to not show up in ltsp-config, but if that is the case I am sure the code can be restructured to make sure the variables are passed on. I expect that can be solved with some testing. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen

Lusk triumph with 10 men
TEN-MAN Lusk United battled hard to gain a well deserved threegoal home win over Brookfield Celtic in this AUL Division 3A opener played last Saturday. Goals from brothers Adam and Ian McNaney took the points, with the latter keeping the match ball as he completed a hat-trick.
Lusk were reduced to 10 men after 15 minutes and then went 1-0 down, but with the odds stacked against them they produced a great team performance, the turning point being a penalty save from keeper Shane Crosbie when the score was still at 1-0.

The lyrics remind me of some city slick who walks around with a false-sense of bravado.
Album Rating: 3.5The review is okay. Not brilliant, but you crack on to some good ideas. That said, your first paragraph is a mess, and you need to streamline your ideas a bit more, making for a shorter and more precise review.
I like the album, but it's definitely not the best thing I've heard this year.
Decent stuff man, good job. A bit hard picking through some of the ideas and descriptions though - especially in the mid-section.
Not in the least bit neg-able, but needs to be polished a little for a pos.

Asheville, N.C. is a standout city as nearly all of its residents will attest to. Having lived here for 10; soon to be 11 years, one of the first things I noted is that to live here people will do darn near anything. We have Dr.s, lawyers and Indian chief's here engaged in business and all kinds of enterprises just to be able to reside in Asheville. For example, if manufacturing had been your previous life work and a job can't be found doing that…Well, they let that go, re-invent themselves and become a potter. What drives this madness is that living here is so pure, so beautiful, so amazing and so homey that when the right folks discover it they are powerless to escape its pull. Asheville has received many "bests" from best place to retire to happiest city. Now, we have another coveted prize. It seems we have just won 3rd place in Most Romantic City category.
Now, we were beaten out for 1st and 2nd place by a city in Hawaii and Florida, but as beauty and all other tightly held beliefs are largely in the eye of the beholder, ROMANCE RULES IN ASHEVILLE and no one understands romance better than our Asheville bed and breakfast, At Cumberland Falls Bed and Breakfast Inn.
To say we have been complicit in romance plans is like saying we serve one of the best three course gourmet breakfasts you've ever eaten. In other words, it is so evident it goes without saying. We've hidden (and guarded) diamond rings in gardens, we've told "small white lies" to facilitate the sometimes crooked path to romance, we've planned numerous elopement weddings and we have marveled at the joy being loved and loving can foster. It has been heartening, inspiring, creative, full of suspense and a delight. Thanks to all our guests for the years of letting us know long before Asheville got this award that Asheville is Romance.

A league source confirms Browns have cut backup RB Brandon Jackson.
Looks like the Trent Richardson backup duties belong to Chris Ogbonnaya. The team also signed free agent RBs Dennis Johnson and Bobby Rainey in the last few days.
Sunday, September 1, 2013, 1:44pm
Cleveland has been awarded RB Bobby Rainey on waivers from Baltimore. Also, the Browns have added rookie RB Dennis Johnson, who was waived Saturday by Houston.
Rainey and Johnson join Brandon Jackson and Chris Ogbonnaya as reserve options behind starter Trent Richardson. Both backs could conceivably contribute in the return game for Cleveland, too. Rainey (5-8, 212) and Johnson (5-7, 196) led their respective clubs in punt and kickoff return yardage in the preseason.
Wednesday, August 28, 2013, 9:30am
The loss of the two tailbacks (Montario Hardesty and Dion Lewis) elevates Browns RB Brandon Jackson into the backup role behind Trent Richardson.
"Brandon is a reliable guy,'' said coach Rob Chudzinski. "I have no issues with Brandon. Trent will be the guy that we're counting on in a lot of different ways. We have to do a good job of keeping him fresh throughout the course of the season. I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon in the (Bears) game.''
The Browns cut FB Owen Marecic became expendable when Chris Ogbonnaya showed he could block for Richardson this preseason as well as play tailback.
Ogbonnaya could play a Mike Tolbert-type role in Norv Turner's offense given the lack of talent behind Richardson.
Tuesday, August 20, 2013, 9:47pm
Browns RB Dion Lewis will likely be placed on season-ending injured reserve after undergoing surgery on his fractured left fibula.
Lewis was in line to be the RB2 behind Trent Richardson. Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Jackson will likely battle it out for those duties now.
Sunday, August 18, 2013, 1:43pm
Browns OC Norv Turner said he thinks RB Brandon Jackson has done good job & can compete for number-two spot. Said Chris Ogbonnaya good third down back.
With Dion Lewis out, a spot behind behind Trent Richardson appears up for grabs.
Montario Hardesty (knee), Dion Lewis (fibula) out a whileThursday, August 15, 2013, 11:16pm
The good news for Browns RB Montario Hardesty this week was that his injured right thumb wasn't broken, but dislocated. The bad news was that he'll undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Thursday, and a source told cleveland.com that he'll miss the first two to three regular-season games.
Dion Lewis fractured his fibula in tonight's game, so backup duties will fall to Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Jackson for the time being.
Tuesday, August 13, 2013, 8:40am
Browns RB Montario Hardesty is still listed second on the depth chart at running back, but his injuries have enabled Dion Lewis, Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Jackson to get in more work. Hardesty is in the final year of his rookie contract and you'd have to say his roster spot is in jeopardy.
Hardesty was banged up again when an errant, direct snap apparently injured his thumb. It appears Dion Lewis has taken control of the RB2 spot behind Trent Richardson.
Sunday, August 4, 2013, 7:24pm
Browns RB Brandon Jackson is quietly having a strong camp. It wouldn't be a shock if he knocked Monatrio Hardesty off the roster. This staff remembers that Jackson rushed for 703 yards and caught 43 passes for the Super Bowl Packers in 2010. They view him as a solid, experienced back.
It's not clear if Jackson would be the RB2 or if that would be Dion Lewis, which the article says he has locked up a roster spot.
Tuesday, July 16, 2013, 3:53pm
The backup to Cleveland RB Trent Richardson is likely yet to be determined, according to ESPN.
ESPN said don't be surprised if RB Montario Hardesty loses his roster spot. OC Norv Turner's backs have to be able to catch the ball. Hardesty is a hard runner who has overcome numerous knee injuries and survived two head coaches. Through it all, he has been a liability as a dump-off receiver out of the backfield.
The story went on to question that if Hardesty doesn't make it, can Chris Chris Ogbonnay or the 5-6 ½ Dion Lewis be counted on to ably replace Richardson in the event of another injury? The team also has Brandon Jackson on the roster. If you want to handcuff Richardson, it's a situation to pay attention to.
Thursday, June 20, 2013, 9:10pm
The good news with Browns RB Trent Richardson is that, despite reports he would miss all of August recovering from injuries, there is every expectation the back will be taking reps when camp opens.
Will he appear to be more of a plodder? Will his yards per carry be where it needs to be? Will the wear and tear from his use at Alabama continue to manifest itself? And will he remain susceptible to nagging injuries?
Well, those are certainly valid questions to ask after his rookie season. And there is a reason the Browns have stockpiled running backs this offseason as well.
Montario Hardesty, Dion Lewis and Brandon Jackson are among the other backs the Browns have stockpiled. We have Richardson 10th among 4for4 RBs and his ADP is 1.8. He's no doubt a risky pick, but with new OC Norv Turner and the reports of the offense running through him, there are some positives.
Trent Richardson not expected to playFriday, December 28, 2012, 10:59am
Browns beat writer Tony Grossi believes there is a "zero chance" that RB Trent Richardson plays this week.
Montario Hardesty and Chris Ogbonnaya (and perhaps Brandon Jackson) will split the RB workload with Richardson out.

Cleveland RB Trent Richardson as the primary running back and Chris Ogbonnaya in certain passing situations Sunday. Ogbonnaya was inactive Week 1.
Montario Hardesty was active but didn't get an offensive snap for the second straight week. Brandon Jackson was inactive after serving as the third-down back in the opener.
"Ogbonnaya is a very dependable guy," Shurmur said. "He carries the ball well. There were some pickups on protection that were good. Not to say the other backs can't do that, but that's how we used him yesterday.

Experts Remain Cautious as Stock Market Turns Around
After many months of a soaring stock market, the financial city of Tel Aviv is now feeling hot under the collar - and not just because the humidity season has arrived.
After many months of a soaring stock market, the financial city of Tel Aviv is now feeling hot under the collar - and not just because the humidity season has arrived. With the record heights behind us, the local market has been dropping, such that some long-in-the-tooth players are reminded of the giddy days of 2002.
The disengagement in eight weeks (and the political turmoil and uncertainty it entails), the primaries and the international pounding of the euro - all have contributed to vast redemptions of mutual funds and a run on the dollar. A feeling of political wariness, not knowing if the coalition will break up after the disengagement, has caused the stock exchange to do an about-face after rising 100 percent in the past two years. The broad small cap Yeter index has lost 20 percent of its value since its record high in March.
Experts don't yet talk of panic, but do they feel the time is ripe to buy stocks and bonds, or are we in for a long dry spell?
Doron Zur, chief analyst at Deutsche Bank, believes the media fuss is too concentrated on the short term. "Whoever invests in shares should think of the long term," he says. "The question of whether now is the time to get in there is not the right question. An investor must ask himself, will the current price level bring me a good return over the long run?"
Zur does not believe the market is overheated. "It's not Nasdaq of five years ago. The prices are reasonable."
As for the shekel, there's no reason to run from it, argues Zur. "The dollar rate of NIS 4.5 is the same as two years ago. There have been six or seven flights from the dollar in the past five years, and they all ended quietly. I don't see a full-blown drama on the forex market."
Professor Beni Lauterbach of Bar-Ilan University, an expert in the capital market, warns against investing in the dollar. "It's a dangerous investment with low returns."
But then he's not so hot on stocks, either. "Despite the global economy supporting the stock markets, the prices are not exaggerated and are fairly priced. What could upset the apple cart is internal developments on the disengagement.
"Is this the time to buy stocks? Maybe there will be lower points in the course of the next few months. I bet that we haven't yet hit the bottom. In any case, stocks you can buy if you think of the two-, three-year long run. In the short term, I suggest you sit on the fence."
Zvi Lubatsky, a controlling shareholder of IBI and a veteran capital market player, was not jolted by this week's manoeuvrings. "What to do with your money is a question with no single straightforward answer, but then I don't see a change in the atmosphere here recently. The dollar has corrected upward, and maybe bonds will continue to drop a little, because the upward run was a little too strong. The market could come down a little, but we're not talking of anything dramatic."
Lubatsky sees the move from banking deposits to market instruments (shares and bonds) continuing. "This is what gives the market stability, but it does not guarantee that it will rise forever."
Shlomo Maoz, chief economist at Excellence Nassuah, recommends the emerging markets. "Government bonds in Brazil and Mexico have very high returns for no reason, so investing in them could pay off when the prices rise and the yields come down." But even so, part of the money should be invested in Israel. It's in a very good macroeceonomic position, he says, with GDP growing, exports to the U.S. rising and tourism reviving.

Kellen Moore threw for 197 yards and a touchdown, and the 14th-ranked Broncos pushed aside No. 16 Oregon, 19-8, shoving aside their biggest obstacle between them and a possible second BCS berth.
D.J. Harper scored on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter and Boise State held on for a shaky final 25 minutes of mistakes and turnovers to record their 50th straight regular-season home victory and ruin Chip Kelly's debut as Oregon head coach.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Tuesday called for talks on a far-reaching free trade agreement with the 27 nations of the European Union, throwing his weight behind a deal that would encompass half the world's economic output.
"Tonight I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of good-paying American jobs," Obama said in the prepared text of his annual State of the Union speech to Congress.
The United States and the EU already have the largest economic relationship in the world, and one of the most complicated. A pact would unite the United States, the world's largest economy, with four other countries in the top ten: Germany, France, Britain and Italy.
Faced with slow growth on both sides of the Atlantic and rising competition from China and other emerging economies, the long-time allies in late 2011 began looking at ways to build on their existing relationship.
Last week, EU leaders endorsed trade talks with the United States, putting it at the top of a larger agenda that includes negotiations with Canada and Japan.
Since most tariffs between the United States and the EU are already low, reducing regulatory barriers to trade in areas like agriculture and chemicals are expected to be the most challenging aspect of the talks.
The EU recently lifted bans on imports of U.S. live swine and beef washed with lactic acid to help build confidence that it can address U.S. agricultural concerns.
Two senior U.S. senators, in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk earlier on Tuesday, welcomed those steps but said any agreement must also reduce EU restrictions on genetically modified crops, poultry treated with chlorine washes to kill pathogens and meat from animals fed the growth stimulant ractopamine.
"A strong, comprehensive trade and investment agreement with the EU has the potential to create significant good-paying jobs for Americans," Representative Dave Camp, the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement welcoming Obama's announcement.

Comments about Aguilar GS 112NT 1x12 Bass Cabinet:
These little cabs are amazing. Having used EBS cabs previously, these (I use two) blow them out of the water! Light enough to carry with one hand, hence the single spring loaded handle, I would never go back to a bigger cab as these dont lose anything over the big boys (probably due to clever port tuning) Deep lows and nice mids with plenty of top for an authentic, old school bass tone. For funk/slap I would go for the model with the horn, but I didn't want that sound. Top notch, rugged build. Overall unbelivable value at the price.
Comments about Aguilar GS 112NT 1x12 Bass Cabinet:
After researching bass enclosures for months, I bought the Aguilar GS 112NT. The cabinet is actually deeper than it is wide or tall, and ported such that it delivers a "fat 'n' juicy" bass sound unprecedented from a small, single 12" enclosure. It's perfect for small venues, but powerful enough for larger ones. The price makes it the the best value I'm come across. The construction is rugged, to say the least. The cabinet is quite heavy, but is equipped with one heavy duty springloaded handle. My only criticism is that Aguilar should have added a second handle.
Comments about Aguilar GS 112NT 1x12 Bass Cabinet:
After researching bass cabinets for nearly a year, I found the Aguilar GS112 NT to be the best value around. Size is deceiving. The bass response can only be described as "fat and juicy", unlike other much larger cabinets with multiple 10" or 12" speakers that I've tried. The dual ports provides silky smooth lows without distortion. The GS112 NT cabinet is no lightweight and is heavy for a cabinet its size. The only thing Aguilar could have done better is to include two recessed spring loaded handles (The GS112 NT only has one.) I'm thinking about buying a second one, but so far, I haven't needed it. Amazing.
Comments about Aguilar GS 112NT 1x12 Bass Cabinet:
The best tone of any cab I've played through in 36 years of playing. Nice and fat, no muddiness, no need for a tweeter IMHO. Light, portable, killer sound. What more could you want!
Comments about Aguilar GS 112NT 1x12 Bass Cabinet:
While not quite as small as I was hoping for, this relatively lightweight cab has spectacular tone and mellow, deep bottom. It's incredibly loud with my old GK 400RB and is perfectly matched with that amp. I'll use it for my country gigs but I feel pretty confident it could handle almost any style of music in a small to moderate size venue. However, if you are looking for a really little cabinet, this ain't it.The photos on almost every website I checked give the impression that the cabinet is a lot less deep than it is - it gets close to be the size of my Ampeg 4X10 if you laid it on its back but it is a LOT lighter. To be fair, the dimensions are clearly noted everywhere I looked, so I really can't blame anyone but myself.Bottom line: if you want a moderate (but not small) sized cabinet that is fairly easy to lug, has fabulous tone and deep bass, go for this.

Courses/Computer Science/CPSC 525.F2014
- 1 Principles of Computer Security (Fall 2014)
- 2 Lecture Schedule
- 3 Tutorial Schedule
- 4 Links & Miscellaneous Resources
- 5 Focus Questions
- 6 Things We (Probably) Won't Cover
Principles of Computer Security (Fall 2014)
The university calendar entry for CPSC525 describes the course as: Security policies and protection mechanisms for a computing system, including such topics as design principles of protection systems, authentication and authorization, reference monitors, security architecture of popular platforms, formal modeling of protection systems, discretionary access control, safety analysis, information flow control, integrity, role-based access control. Legal and ethical considerations will be introduced.
How This Class is Taught
This is mainly a lecture-style course with some hands-on projects and assignments. It also includes an occasional tutorial component to provide some background technical skills.
This course is largely a guided reading course that aims at helping the student achieve the security mindset and the terminology and vocabulary of the information security field to go on to further study in specific areas: systems security, network security, applied cryptography, HCI security and usability, etc.
Security is a cross-cutting concern; its problems and challenges crop up in many different areas of computer science, and effective security solutions often involve elements that cross layers of abstraction and areas of expertise. This course can be thought of as an archeological exploration of the brief history of the computer security field's principal ideas. We will try to see why the major themes and concepts arose, how approaches were wrought and how they persist into modern computer systems.
This class is driven by asking simple questions that have complex answers. Security has often emerged as a bolt-on afterthought subject to many different types of pressure. Risk assessment involves trying to answer simple value questions. Our aim is to try to understand this landscape by following our natural curiosity -- allowing this kind of inquisitive skill to flourish is a key element of developing a security mindset. This course relies on underlying principles for thinking about how systems can be made to fail, and its central aim is to help students understand the following abstract concepts:
- cross-layer interactions -- root of trust; hardware supporting software security
- composition and trust -- how these concepts affect system assurance
- execution analysis -- how to analyze programs by reversing or removing abstraction, encapsulation, and other system organization principles
- flaws as programming models -- understanding vulnerabilities and exploits as de facto primitives of an unintended programming environment
- countermeasure efficacy -- understanding the context and relative merits of protection measures
Syllabus Topics
- protection mechanisms
- design principles of protection mechanisms

Hi guys basically i am currently on the restricted A2 license for another year im currently 18 and had a few bikes in the past such as honda cg125 then a kawasaki ER5 and now currently driving but i am planning to spend around 2 to £3000 on a sportsbike in the next month or so but i was wondering first of all is it going to be any good restricted for lets say 9 months im looking at getting a kawasaki zx6r or a suzuki gsxr 600 just wanted some advice from you guys thanks before hand!!
Getting a Sportbike on A2 license..

Restricted sportsbikes
Fortunately, I have not had to endure a restricted bike but the general opinion on this site is that 4-pot engines do not restrcict as well as twins. So anyone just starting their two-year period would be better off with something like an ER6 or SV650. These bike also being better for honing your skills on rather than a sportsbike that requires a more experienced hand to get the best from. However, as you do not have long to wait your could take the approach that it is less of a compromise for you and choose a bike that is a better long-term bet rather than changing again in 9 months. If you are happy that your skill levels are reaching the point where you can make the most of a sportsbike then that would make a 600-class sportsbike a reasonable choice.
**A2 license **
I had a 125cc bike for 3years, passed my test when i was 18 and waited 2years for the restricted license to be removed. I then got the bike i wanted ( Daytona 675 ) my insurance at age 20 with 3 years no claims still stood me at £800 approx a year. I dont think having a re-stricter on the bike will make much of a difference to the insurance, i might be wrong tho. Still your insurance is not going to be cheap, depending on if a company will insure you at your age
All bike can be restricted, on the Daytona i have been told its to do with the throttle to restrict it. I suppose with getting a 600cc sports bike restricted you can learn how to ride it safely and correctly. And when the restricter is taken off it will feel like a new bike. And it will be better long term.
Here a link to a re-stricter company for you to have a look at. And there more expensive than i thought it would be.
In all it could get very expensive, you could wait and save your money it up to you.
a newer one no
an older sports bike isnt to bad ive got a zzr 600 thts restricted and its not to bad all tho its 20 years old and more of a sports tourer what you have to consider is how far your going to restrict it if your restricting somthing with over say a 100bhp to 33 your going to strangle the engine you wont necerely do any damage but it just wont respond as well as it should as marcus marsh said twins react better to being restricted than alot of other engine types but its all about the paticular bike its power its weight
if you go for the right bike it shouldnt be a problem as long as you can afford the insurance
Thank you very much for replying guys really appreciate you guys answering and trying to give the best possible answer and advice anways well i have decided to go for a suzuki GSXR 600 between 2003-05 which you can get around the £3,000 mark, i got a an insurance quote of £1700 third party only which i know is ridiculous but then again i am 18 and have no no claims bonuses , i understand you guys mentioned about the kawasaki er6,sv650 etc but i rode my friends bandit 600 and a yamaha fz6 and evenhhh though they are more comfortable,cheaper and more eco i still want to go for the sports bike like the GSXR as i am planning to keep my next bike for atleast a couple of years as i have a car for the bad days but what i would like to ask you guys like you mentioned about experince on riding a supersport bike i havent really got it i have been riding for 2 years but that was mainly on a tourer would you guys think id be able to manage to ride a gsxr 600 smooothly i am on about full power not restricted? thank you very much in advance
any one can ride a 600 sports bike
riding one smoothly and well is a diffrent kettle of fish its all about practice makes perfect and taking your time to get to know your own personal limit everybodys diffrent its all about riding in your own comfort zone
starting with a 600 after having an er5 shouldnt be to bad youve already had a big bike even it was restricted and if like you say your gonna have the sports bike restricted for the last bit of your restriction you should be fine like i said just find your comfort zone

Although it criticizes the DOJ for failing to approve an FBI request to place Lee under electronic surveillance, the internal report faults the FBI for not initially searching the computer at Lee's office for which no warrant was required onto which he had downloaded reams of classified computer code. Lee has been unable to account for a number of tapes of downloaded code, and the DOJ report suggests that the slowness of the initial investigation may have given him time to dispose of these if, indeed, that had been his intention. Charging Lee late last year was interpreted, in part, as a means of pressuring him to account for the missing data.
The DOJ report, however, deals with investigating and prosecuting espionage violations after the fact. The House Committee on Intelligence, meanwhile, has slammed the Clinton administration for allegedly weakening the nation's intelligence services through lack of funding. In a report that cites such failures as Washington's inability to foresee India's nuclear tests and the inadvertent bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo war, the committee maintains that lack of funding and leadership from the White House has left the nation's human and electronic intelligence-gathering systems in a poor state of preparedness and put the nation at risk. Stripped of its partisan tilt it takes two, after all, to underfund a government agency the report may be pointing to a deeper reality: Optimal security is attained not by the efficient investigation and prosecution of spies, but by prevention and counterintelligence.

There are very few people in our country who believe that it is necessary to have one family doctor. Only those handful of people in the urban settings realise the importance, go forward and take the advice of their family doctor first.

However, in the Western countries, the thought is slightly different. They are quite aware of the necessity of having a family doctor and take it on a priority basis.
On this National Doctor's Day, Boldsky highlights on how important and necessary it is to have a family doctor. Have a look.
1. In Case Of An Emergency At Night:
All of a sudden around midnight you get a severe chest pain, you are all alone at home and you do not know what to do. During such time of an emergency if you have a family doctor, it helps. You just need to make one call for help.
2. Knows The Health History Of The Person:
When a doctor knows the health history of a person, it gets easier to provide the treatment. The doctor would know about what each member of the family is allergic to and related health issues that they have. This would help better the treatment process and get the primary treatment at the earliest.
3. A Doctor For All Age Groups:
Instead of going to different doctors for different age groups who are specialised in a particular disease, if you have one family doctor, he/she would be knowing the health details of every member and it is easy to call the doctor and ask whenever any family member falls sick, instead of just rushing to the hospital and waiting in queue.
4. Can Prevent Problems Even Before They Occur:
Generally, we see a doctor only in case of an emergency or if we have any health issue. In such emergency cases, no doctors would discuss about any preventive health care. It is only the family doctors whom you are close to and can discuss about the preventive health care steps to prevent any health issue before it even occurs.
5. A Trusted Health Advisor:
With the sprawling number of hospitals and doctors, it is very difficult to bring in the trust factor when it comes to one's health. Hence, a family doctor would only be the one trusted and reliable advisor when it comes to giving a good advice regarding health.
6. Feel Comfortable Discussing Personal Health Issues:
Many a times, when we go to a doctor, we avoid discussing our personal issues and keep it short. But, if you have a family doctor, you would feel more comfortable in discussing about your personal health issue at length.

Current state and trends in Canadian Arctic marine ecosystems: II. Heterotrophic food web, pelagic-benthic coupling, and biodiversity
As part of the Canadian contribution to the International Polar Year (IPY), several major international research programs have focused on offshore arctic marine ecosystems. The general goal of these projects was to improve our understanding of how the response of arctic marine ecosystems to climate warming will alter food web structure and ecosystem services provided to Northerners. At least four key findings from these projects relating to arctic heterotrophic food web, pelagic-benthic coupling and biodiversity have emerged: (1) Contrary to a long-standing paradigm of dormant ecosystems during the long arctic winter, major food web components showed relatively high level of winter activity, well before the spring release of ice algae and subsequent phytoplankton bloom. Such phenological plasticity among key secondary producers like zooplankton may thus narrow the risks of extreme mismatch between primary production and secondary production in an increasingly variable arctic environment. (2) Tight pelagic-benthic coupling and consequent recycling of nutrients at the seafloor characterize specific regions of the Canadian Arctic, such as the North Water polynya and Lancaster Sound. The latter constitute hot spots of benthic ecosystem functioning compared to regions where zooplankton-mediated processes weaken the pelagic-benthic coupling. (3) In contrast with another widely shared assumption of lower biodiversity, arctic marine biodiversity is comparable to that reported off Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada, albeit threatened by the potential colonization of subarctic species. (4) The rapid decrease of summer sea-ice cover allows increasing numbers of killer whales to use the Canadian High Arctic as a hunting ground. The stronger presence of this species, bound to become a new apex predator of arctic seas, will likely affect populations of endemic arctic marine mammals such as the narwhal, bowhead, and beluga whales.

Orange, N.J. defensive back/running back Cory Boyd took his second official visit this past weekend. Do the Gamecocks still lead?
"South Carolina is still my top choice, but I liked Wisconsin," said the 6-foot-1, 186-pounder. "It was pretty cool out there, but I think South Carolina is more my style. I really liked the pace of things down in Columbia."
Boyd is set to visit Virginia on Jan. 17, Virginia Tech on Jan. 24 and Boston College on Jan. 31.
Article Continues Below
"I'll take all three of my remaining trips," he said. "Virginia Tech is probably second on my list. I like the feel of things down south and they have a great team. I prefer to play running back and most of the teams are telling me I'd get a look, but South Carolina has been recruiting me as a tailback from the start. That's important to me."

A Sept. 1 story on the St. Augustine Beach Charter on Page 9A, contained incorrect information.
Proposition 13 passed. This proposition was a land referendum straw ballot. Voters were asked to decide in a referendum if the city should consider the establishment of a land acquisition fund.
Proposition 4 did not pass. This was the removal of police chief. It stated the chief of police can be removed by a four-fifths vote by the City Commission.
Andrew Thomas Lakey's name was spelled incorrectly in Page 1A stories about his death Monday and Tuesday.

One of the nation's elite cornerback prospects is Rancho Cucamonga's (Calif.) Devin Ross. Ross just returned from unofficial visits to Washington and Cal and said he'll name his final five later in the month.
Ross, 5-11, 185 pounds wasn't able to make any of the spring camps or combines but did attend the Dewayne Walker DB camp where he drew raves and landed an offer from Michigan the following week.
Ross has offers from just about every school on his list minus the two in his own backyard.
Article Continues Below
"I just talked to Eric Bieniemy (UCLA RC) yesterday and he said they're going to offer me as soon as they get my latest transcripts," Ross said. "There were just a few things they needed to see and now that's all squared away, he said the offer is on the way. I've always liked UCLA so they're definitely on my list.
"With USC, I'm not sure what the deal is there. They're not really recruiting me at all. I know sometimes they like to wait a little longer to offer players, especially guys in-state but I it doesn't look like they're real interested right now."
Ross attended Washington's recent open house along with two of his close friends, Colton (Calif.) teammates Allen Bradford and Shareece Wright.
"I've known those guys since junior high," Ross said. "We all played on the same area basketball team and we've been planning this visit for a long time. I had a good time there. I like coach Willingham a lot and it was fun to check out the campus, the football facilities and meet the players. Washington is a very good school and all three of us had a good time and are definitely considering them right now.
"On the way home, I decided to stop and visit Cal and I found out they had offered me a long time ago but sent the offer to the wrong address. They even showed me in their database when the offer went out, it was months ago. Now that Cal has offered, I'm very interested in them. I got to watch a practice and talk to the coaches. It was cool."
Ross said he'll likely be taking an unofficial visit to Arizona later this week and already has an official visit set to Nebraska for (Sept. 2). As for narrowing his list, Ross said he along with Bradford and Wright all plan to do that on the same day.
"August 31, that's when all three of us are going to narrow it down to five," Ross said. "I don't know why we picked that date, we just decided that would be a good time to do it. Right now, I really don't know yet who will make the final five. Obviously Nebraska is one since I'm visiting there but I'm still trying to sort everything out but by the end of the month, I'll know."
Among the schools Ross is still looking at, in addition to Nebraska, to fill out his final five, are Washington, Cal, UCLA, Arizona, Oklahoma, Michigan, Colorado and Oregon. Check back on the last day of August to see who made the cut for the talented corner.

This is how it began with Kim, he defended her against the backlash from her nude, carefree antics then all of a sudden he turned on her. Looks like the cycle is repeating itself with Taylor Swift. He may not have attacked her directly but he did attack her beau for his public displays of affection towards her. Read article after the cut...
Oh Tom.
Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, TOM.
What the hell were you thinking?????
My grandmother used to say there were three things to always be wary of in a man: an inability to pronounce the letter 'R', a large bundle of keys hanging from a belt, and the simultaneous wearing of white socks and black shoes.
To which I'm fairly sure she would have added: 'Sporting a T-shirt and tattoo proclaiming your love for the woman in your life.'
I've been firmly in Camp Swift-Hiddleston since news first broke of their unlikely liaison three weeks ago.
Taylor's one of my favourite entertainers, combining sublime talent with a thoroughly engaging personality.
Tom's a brilliant actor and from what I've seen of him on talk shows and red carpets, a very charming chap.
Together, they make sweet A-list romantic music and I have ferociously contested all efforts by more cynical journalist colleagues to categorise their paparazzi-fuelled fling as some kind of PR stunt.
But even my faith in the purity of Cupid's bow is taking a bit of a dent this morning.
I could handle the beach canoodling in Rhode Island.
I could handle the hand-in-hand strolls through the streets of Rome.
I could even handle the country walks with Tom's mum in the wind-swept UK county of Suffolk, albeit with slight concern at the haste with which things had moved to parental introduction.
All seemed perfectly natural displays of blind adoration consistent with the first flush of new love.
But then came the T-shirt and tattoo.
I stared at these latest photos for several long minutes, soaking in the full horror of Mr Hiddleston's crime.
Surely Britain's hottest thespian talent hadn't morphed into a fawning, love-struck pop star fan-boy?
This, after all, is the man who wants to be the next James Bond, the most rugged, tough, manly movie icon of them all.
He's also 35 years old, so no spring chicken in Tinsel Town years.
But it was sadly, shockingly true: he had.
There was our Tom, the Night Manager himself, in a white vest crying 'I (heart) T.S.'
To compound the horror, he also had a love heart inked on his right arm with a 'T' on it.
The pair frolicked together in the Atlantic ocean with a bunch of Taylor's young friends including Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Ruby Rose and Uzo Aruba, giggling away as they hugged, kissed and piggy-backed through the surf.
When one left the water, so did the other.
It was like watching recently separated Siamese twins having a reunion play-date.
All perfectly fine, if it wasn't for the T-shirt and tattoo.
I assumed at first it was a photo-shopped fake, some kind of internet prank playing on the widespread suspicions that this relationship is not what it seems.
If you were going to send it up, this is exactly how you'd do it.
Then it was confirmed to me that they were genuine pictures and my trusting faith in the genuineness and innocence of Swift-Hiddleston crashed and burned.
When a man tries so hard to publicly prove his love for a woman, it usually has the opposite effect.
We've been here before with a famous Hollywood heart-throb called Tom.
Eleven years ago, Tom Cruise destroyed his image in five minutes of utter madness during an appearance on Oprah in which he shrieked about his love for Katie Holmes whilst treating the couch like a trampoline.
'He's gone,' sighed Oprah. 'He's gone. The boy is gone.'
She was right.
Cruise became an instant global laughing stock and has never recovered. Neither, of course, did the romance itself; Ms Holmes departing stage left a few years later from the hideous train-wreck of life as Mrs Cruise.
Tom Hiddleston's T-shirt and tattoo are just as cringe-worthy as Cruise's couch-hopping, and may prove to be similarly disastrous to his career.
A quick survey of social media this morning confirmed a cacophony of jaw-dropped mockery descending on his beaming head.
People from all corners of the globe were positively howling with derision.
Even his most die-hard fans seem completely bemused as to what he's up to.
As, I must confess, do I.
Tom, I'm a massive fan, but for the love of God, what are you doing?
This is NOT how you win the Bond gig.
This is how you destroy your chances faster than 007 electrocuted Oddjob in Goldfinger.
Men think you've completely lost the plot and women think…. you've completely lost the plot.
It's just so shudderingly uncool to behave like this in the full knowing glare of the paparazzi. Even if, and let's be generous here by espousing this theory, you're just trying to have a little joke on the media.
No real man would indulge in such a stunt, even if it was a joke, especially not one who has aspirations to be a macho movie star.
It's beyond excruciating, right up there with the time I stumbled upon two married co-workers sharing a Big Mac by literally passing bits of meat to each other using only their mouths.
They thought it was sweet, I thought it was sickening, as would anyone else who had the misfortune to witness it.
Let's cut to the quick here: Daniel Craig would rather shoot himself with his own Beretta than be seen wearing a T-shirt and tattoo like this.
He would instinctively know it would be the death knell to his personal Bond brand.
I now have to hope and pray Swift-Hiddleton really IS all some weird, elaborate hoax on the media and unsuspecting public.
The alternative explanation is unthinkable: the man who would be Bond is a gigantic, toe-curling, insufferably infatuated and sycophantic wuss with women.


text: Norman Barrows 7179 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 what does one do when you want really big world coordinates, and lots of accuracy, say coords going up to 1 million or so, and 2-3 decimal places of accuracy? this is more that a float can do. is this avoided in level or cell based design because levels are never that big? in a title i'm working on (a ww1 era flight sim), the world is about 10,000 miles across, and movement rates are on the order of inches per turn. i've gone to a sector-coordinate (cell-coord?) system. the world is 2500x2500 sectors, each with its own world axis. and a sector is 10,000 x 10,000 D3D units in size. in another title i'm doing (fps/rpg), the world is 500x500 map squares (sectors/cells), and each map square is 26400 x 26400 D3D units. the sector-coordinate approach requires special routines that work with sectors and coordinates for calculating range, heading to target, angle to target, normalizing locations to coordinate ranges of 0 to 10000, and converting locations to camera relative coordinates for drawing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Southern Conference announced its postseason awards Tuesday and guard Tevon Saddler (Aberdeen, Md./St. Frances Academy) was named the league's Freshman of the Year, while junior forward Kyle Cain (Chicago, Ill./Arizona State) was named to the 10-member All-Southern Conference Team by the 11 league head coaches. Additionally, Saddler was named to the All-Freshman team by both the coaches and the SoCon Sports Media Association.
Saddler becomes the first Spartan to win Freshman of the Year honors since Kyle Hines took home the award in 2005. He tied for the lead in scoring among all freshman, averaging 12.4 points per game while also grabbing 3.8 rebounds per game. He also was 11th overall in the league with 3.0 assists per game and his 1.3 steals per game led all league rookies. Saddler finished second in the league in both free throws made (140) and attempted (210).
Saddler was named the SoCon CRONS Freshman of the Week a league-best five times this year. He scored in double figures on 20 different occasions, including three games of at least 20 points. He was consistent throughout the year, averaging 12.5 points per league game this season and 2.7 assists per game. He scored a career-high 34 points against East Carolina this year, the highest point total among all freshmen in the league. His 371 points scored this season ranks third all-time in UNCG history among freshmen,
Cain was named to the All-Freshman team by the league's coaches and earned Second Team honors by the league's media association. He led the team and ranks ninth in the league in scoring this year at 15.3 points per game. He also leads the team and is second in the SoCon on the glass, grabbing 9.0 rebounds per game.
Cain, a transfer from Arizona State in his first year of eligibility at UNCG, scored in double figures 27 times this season, including eight games with 20 or more points. He posted a team-high 11 double-doubles on the year, which ranked second in the league just behind Z. Mason of Chattanooga (13). He connected on 47.4 percent (192-of-405) from the field this season and hit 71.9 percent (82-of-114) from the free throw line. In league play, he averaged 14.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Saddler and Cain helped the Spartans earn the sixth seed in the upcoming 2014 SoCon Tournament in Asheville. The Spartans will open play Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. when they face off against 11th-seeded The Citadel at the U.S. Cellular Center.


text: I have to give credit where credit is due. I have been in business for 12 years now. I would have to say this is one of the best investments I have made. I bought it about 5-6 yrs ago. I would never down a convintenal plugger but there is no comparison. For those of you who dont know an aeravator has vibrating, rolling action and puts a massive whole in the ground about 2- 2 1/2 inches wide and 4-5" deep. It also loosens the dirt between the holes. It is coreless and doesnt matter how hard the ground is. I start reseeding in August. The teeth are made out of Titanium. I have included a few picts. I also just got my buddy to weld a bracket to put my spreader on. Man that works great for my seed. Let me know what you think.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.
But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Guards are affraid to enter the place on their own so they just throw some food over the wall every day and continue eating their donuts. Don't ask them for any help!
|No one really knows what's happening here. There are storys going around of massive gladiator fights with houndreds of soldies going down. If you want to become a soldie too sing up at the reception but be warned, the prison is a safer place.
|Huge companies like Human Hotdog have build their factorys in this district. The air is filled with dust and a huge brown cloud floats above this part of the city. There's also a huge underground connection of tunnels and sewers.
Anywhere City is dominated by four huge gangs. Try to become partners with all of them to use their special abilities.
|SRS Scientists:
|Russian Mafia:
|At the start of the game this is the second smallest gang of the city. The gang color is black and yellow and every gang member carrys a Colt Commander to make sure no one but Zaibatsu members enter their turf.
|The Yakuza is a huge gang. They also have the cleanest part of the city and you can enter it even if you're not on their side. They are friendly if you leave them alone but if you mess with them you're screwed...
|The SRS Scientists are totally crazy. They like experimenting with drugs. Sometimes they try them on you but most of the time on themselves. Their gangcolor is Yellow and they the Scientists always carry flamethrowers.
|Never try to enter the Russian territory without an armored car. They hate all other gangs in town and they'll love it to try their new pump action shotguns on your body. Their gangcolor is Red.
