To undertake this mission, head to Jimmy Pegorino's secluded home at the northwest section of Alderney. When you arrive, you'll have a brief encounter with Jimmy's ridiculously grumpy wife before heading inside. Once inside, the faux mob family antics continue with Jimmy's assistant, Anthony, asleep at the door. But finally, when Jimmy and Niko are able to speak in private, the mission is put on the table for analysis. Jimmy feels like his family is being treated like bottom feeders (which, in essence, they are), and he wants Niko to drive to a diner in central Alderney to take out some members of a rival family at a meeting. Easy enough.
Once outside, grab a car (there should be a nice one waiting in the driveway for your use) and begin following the GPS directions on your HUD to your destination. The diner itself is located on a lowkey road called Mueri Street. When you arrive there, however, you'll realize the meeting isn't taking place there, but at another location. The rival family you're spying on is alerted to your presence, however, and they speed away and try to lose you. (Just as a note, if you follow the GPS from the Pegorino household, you'll arrive at this area a certain way. Try to turn your car around before hitting the event arrow here if you follow these directions, since you'll have to turn your car around at the outset of the chase if you don't). So, when they speed off to their next destination, stay close and follow them. The chase isn't a long one, to be sure, but it will bring you through some rough terrain and through some back roads and alleyways.
When you arrive at the auto body shop where the meeting is taking place (located off of Panhandle Road on the west side of Alderney), the fiends you've been following will open fire. We tried to stay in the car and pummel as many enemies as you can, but you're going to find yourself overrun here before long, so try to use your vehicle as a shield. All of the foes you have to kill are marked as red dots on your HUD, and if you're confused where the last enemy is located, head around back to the parking lot at the rear end of the building. You should find him there amongst the cars. Now, your killing spree no doubt caught the attention of the police (we managed to get a staggering five stars by killing so many cops as we took out the members of the rival family), so before the mission concludes successfully once all of the enemies are slain, you're going to need to lose your wanted level. Once that occurs, the mission ends in success.

Our Gift To The Author's Guild: An Ad For Brick & Mortar Book Stores
from the community-service deptNot long ago, Tim Cushing wrote about Author's Guild president Scott Turow's curious assertion that brick-and-mortar book stores are the future of the industry. I didn't think that sounded very likely, but I like a good book store as much as the next person-over-20, so I thought I'd join forces with Tim to give Turow some help in his campaign. We put our heads together and produced this period-appropriate advertisement, for Turow and anyone else to use in advancing the cause of brick-and-mortar. Enjoy!

Coloradans are battling one of the first wildfires of the season. NBC's Lester Holt reports.
Evacuation orders were lifted on Saturday for hundreds of Colorado residents forced to flee their homes due to a wind-driven wildfire in a canyon northwest of Denver, as firefighters made progress in containing the blaze, officials said.
Calmer winds, higher humidity levels and cooler temperatures allowed firefighters to cut containment lines around 45 percent of the so-called Galena Fire, said Nick Christensen, spokesman for the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.
The blaze signaled an early start to the wildfire season in the drought-stricken state, which last year had its worst fire year on record.
In 2012, forest and brush fires scorched 384,803 acres in the state, destroyed 650 homes and killed six people, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
The latest wildfire erupted on Friday about 75 miles northwest of Denver near the city of Fort Collins and Lory State Park and has charred between 750 and 1,000 acres. But no injuries were reported and no structures were lost, Christensen said.
He added that all evacuees would be permitted to return to their homes by Saturday evening. Hundreds of residents were ordered out of their homes on Friday afternoon after erratic winds quickly spread the flames near populated areas.
Poudre Valley Fire Authority chief Tom DeMint told reporters investigators had pinpointed the origin of the fire and determined that it was human-caused, but he gave no further details.
DeMint said residents allowed back in their homes should be prepared for further evacuations if the high winds forecast for Sunday materialize and cause a flare-up. "If we have another ignition source, it's game on," he said.
Residents of Colorado are once again facing an early start to the wildfire season with the devastating fires of 2012 still fresh in their minds. KUSA's Todd Walker reports.

A Sharin' Birthday
Most of you don't read the comments here on CW, but if you did you'd know that, almost every day, there's a new parody song written out there themed to that day's wrecks. The songs are hilarious, and over the years they've even accumulated their own fan club: readers who I'm starting to suspect just look at the pictures and then skip straight to the comments. (That's right; I'M ON TO YOU GUYS.)
The songs are written by Sharyn, a long-time fan who has since been drafted onto our writing team. But even though she writes for us "prefessionally" now, Sharyn still writes those custom songs, every morning, within minutes of the post going live. (And no, she doesn't get advance warning; she really IS that quick.)
I've only met Sharyn once, on our last book tour. She caught a flight to Texas just to see us, and once John and I determined she was one of the cool stalkers (versus the axe-wielding kind) we took her to lunch.
Don't mess with... whatever this is.
A year or two later we begged Sharyn to write for us, and ever since she's helped pull me through all the nothing-feels-funny times. She's constantly sending me encouraging notes...
... and spoiling me with endless craft supplies. Plus she keeps John supplied in his favorite brand of popcorn. So basically she's the young, hip godmother I never had.
Today Sharyn is one of my dearest friends, and today is also her birthday. So, Sharyn:
Just kidding.
I also got you a horse with two chainsaws for arms/legs:
Because you've earned it.
Yep, that cake is totally sitting right here. Honest. If only you were here so I could serve you a slice. [[poker face]]
And now, Sharyn, allow me to conclude my conclusion with a little birthday ditty, just for you:
THIIIIIIIS is your birthday song:
It isn't very long.
Happy Birthday, Sharyn. We love you.
(Now, how's Monday's post coming?)
Thanks to Emily D., Kate M., Amy B., Joan A., Greer D., Annalyn D., & my very own hubby John for helping with Sharyn's surprise party post. Y'all be sure to wish her many more in the comments, k?

You'd be forgiven if you couldn't tell at first which of the runners racing around the Plainfield South High School track is new girls cross-country head coach Kristen Heckert.
Not only could Heckert, a 26-year-old math teacher, easily pass for a student, but she also runs alongside her team, showing a dedication her students say is inspiring.
During a speed workout one recent afternoon, she paced the fastest girls through eight 1,000-meter repeats at a 6-minute-mile pace, then planned to run another nine or 10 miles when she got home to Lisle that evening as part of her training for the Oct. 13 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Heckert was the top Illinois female finisher in last year's marathon, coming in 20th among women, with a time of 2:47:56.
"She's a big role model for running," said senior Sydney Carlberg, 17, co-captain of the cross-country team.
Heckert grew up in Sugar Grove, attended Kaneland High School and graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Encouraged by her boyfriend, Michael Lucchesi, she trained hard for a half marathon and did well; she ran her first marathon, in 2011, in 2:51:04.
Her finish in last year's Chicago Marathon earned her an invitation to run the marathon in Osaka, Japan, one of Chicago's Sister Cities, but Heckert declined because it coincides with her team's regional meet. Plus, she hopes to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials, which requires her to run a marathon faster than 2:43 and which she has a better chance of doing on familiar territory.
Her incremental goal for next week, Heckert said, is to hit 2:45.
The following is an edited version of our conversation.
Q: Is coaching girls different from coaching boys? (Heckert was assistant coach to the boys and girls cross-country teams last year; this is her first year as head coach of the girls team.)
A: I like coaching girls. They have a real inner drive and desire, just as boys do, but they really push themselves further. And I think with girls and cross-country, it's so important with feeling good about yourself, because with running it's just you. There's nothing really to hide it; there's no makeup; there's no looking pretty before you run. It makes them feel, I think, more confident in themselves.
Q: How did you get started as a serious runner?
A: I always liked running. I did it because my brother (Jonathan Heckert) did it; he was my inspiration. I ran in college; I was OK, nothing special. (When) I ran my first marathon and got 2:51 … I got really excited about it. And each year I've gotten a little more into it, and my training has gotten a little more intense.
Q: How have you found a balance between teaching and coaching and a personal life of some sort?
A: I really cut out a lot of the personal life. I don't really drink; it's not something I've ever really done. I put a lot of time into teaching; I'm here until 8 p.m. at night after coaching. When I'm not doing that, I'm getting my running in. And my boyfriend and I live together; we have our dogs. And I see my family a lot. That's been my little sanctuary.
Q: How have you made yourself a better runner?
A: I've really been focusing on making sure I give my body enough rest and enough food in order to do what I'm asking of it. Not only with running but with teaching.
Q: What has been your proudest moment?
A: My greatest accomplishment has been to get a job in teaching, because it's tough. I think the one thing I'm proudest of is I had a girl last year in my Algebra 2 class (who) came up to me and said, "Ms. Heckert, you know, I want to become a math teacher because of you."
And she's going to come to one of my classes and help me with the kids. And I'm going to try to have her teach a lesson.
Q: How do you decompress?
A: For me it's always been running. And maybe that's why it's something I've dived into now that I've been getting more into teaching. It completely relieves my stress and my worries and kind of helps me get back to ground zero.
Q: What is your training schedule like?
A: I am on an 18-week training schedule for the actual training program. Over the summer, I did about seven 100-mile weeks. So I was putting in a lot of miles, a lot of 20-plus mile runs. Now that I've been teaching, I have to cut back my mileage to 80 to 90 miles a week.
Q: What advice would you give someone running a marathon for the first time?
A: Don't go out too fast! It's really hard not to, because there are so many people cheering you on. The first half … should feel so easy because you have another half marathon to go after it.
Q: Do you listen to music when you run?
A: I used to all the time, and then I stopped. But my favorite song to listen to is "Ali in the Jungle" by the Hours. It's a great pump-up song.
On your mark … The 2013 Chicago Marathon begins at 7:30 a.m. Oct. 13.; the marathon wheelchair race begins at 7:20 a.m. For more information, go to http://www.chicagomarathon.com.

Car pulling trailer of alligators crashes in Missouri
A car pulling a trailer full of alligators crashed in Cape Girardeau but apparently the reptiles never posed a threat to anyone.
KFVS-TV reports two crashes happened in the southbound lanes of Interstate 55 in the southeast Missouri community around 7 p.m. Saturday.
Four alligators ranging from 3 feet to 5 feet long were being hauled in a small trailer behind one of the cars.
A man and his wife who were in the car pulling the alligators were injured in the wreck. Police say the animals remained inside.
The alligators were taken to Lazy L. Safari in Cape Girardeau for care until the owner can pick them up.

What is the usual way of proving things like
I know that there is an identity which claims the above, but how was it derived? Are other identities used in the process? I am interested in knowing this.
For example, I could follow through as such:

On May 14 my wife and I got the phone call no parent wants to get. Our daughter called screaming, "Help Me Mommy." She was calling from inside her SUV that she had lost control of and overturned. We immediately called 911 and a State Trooper was there within a minute of our call. Emily was taken to Carroll County Memorial Hospital where we were told that she had a broken back. She was transferred to Kosair Children's Hospital. She had surgery to repair her back, but will need extensive rehab for the next couple of months.

Lately I've been dealing a lot with pumpkins: I've roasted them, used them in salads and soups, but I hadn't yet tried my hands on the sweet pumpkin recipes. I browsed through a few recipes until I came across with this one: Pumpkin Chai Bread. Now how could I possibly NOT have tried this?
As I was mixing the dough it became obvious I was making something really good. The beautifully fragrant spices mixed with dark orange batter was just magical!
(Recipe adapted from GFG)
1 cup cooked and mashed pumpkin
1/2 cup light olive oil
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 large eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
1 1/2 cups gluten-free plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
(1 tsp xanthan gum)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk together the pumpkin, olive oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and orange juice. Stir in the dry ingredients and the walnuts and mix well until smooth. Pour the batter in to a greased loaf tin and bake in 175C for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
*I've made this gluten-free, but you could try using normal plain flour instead.
For gluten-free versions I would recommend using xanthan gum (which I omitted), because the texture will become a tad too crumbly without it. If anyone, however, can recommend a substitute for xanthan gum, I'd be more than grateful!

Sunday Sweets: Sweet Treats
I especially love cake, cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, candy, or anything with copious amounts of
I mean, it's really no secret. I eat sugary food, I write about sugary food, and I make sugary food while I eat sugary food and write about sugary food. So today, let's see some gorgeous cakes that give "eye-candy" a whole new meaning.
Made by Kim C.
Look at all those treats! Pie, ice cream, donuts, cupcakes, bon bons, cookies, and cake. It's so realistic, it's hard to believe it's all cake!
Here's an adorable topsy-turvy candy cake:
Submitted by Suzanne B. and made by Sweet Irene
But should a one-year old really be eating all that sugar? You better give it to me.
Adding some whimsy isn't a bad idea. Just look at these little cupcake houses!
Submitted by Heather M. and made by Rose Sen
"Home 'Sweet' Home," indeed. When can I move in?
Here's a delightful nod to the Candyland game without being too literal:
Another first-birthday cake? Yeah, I better eat this one, too. Just to be safe.
Sweet treats take an elegant turn in this impeccable teapot cake:
Submitted by Tracy Q. and made by Sugar Creations
I can't believe every inch of this is edible, including the gelatin butterfly! Gorgeous.
There are a latte cute details on this coffee cake:
I'm not a coffee drinker, but that biscotti looks pretty good. Biscotti is like cake, right? Cake that's been left out for a few days? Yeah, I'd still eat it. Don't judge me.
I love these over-sized Hostess cakes!
Submitted by Julie H. and made by The People's Cake
Though I'm not sure the sign was necessary. Wouldn't I assume it was cake whether it was a cake version of the cake or just the cake itself? I guess it could have been a sculpture. (And now I desperately want this as a sculpture.)
Now this is a cupcake cake I can get behind:
Submitted by Marian and made by Andrea's SweetCakes
And by "get behind," I mean "stand behind and nonchalantly lick the frosting until someone notices."
Speaking of cakes I want to devour single-handedly...
via Williams Sonoma
Now, where can I find a glass of milk big enough to dunk it in?
This beautiful balancing act is a floral delight!
Submitted by Kristy L. and made by Calamity Cakes
I love that this cake represents Strawberry Shortcake while maintaining beauty and elegance. Perfect for any age!
Nothing says "sweethearts" quite like this candy heart engagement cake:
Made by Lisa B.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for THESE:
Submitted by Esther W. and made by Hello Naomi
I'm serious, if I don't eat an ice cream sundae today, I'm going to go bananas.
Made by Studio Cake.
Alright, I'm officially going to get ice cream now.
Before I go, this next cake is quite possibly my most favourite cake I've ever come across while writing for Cake Wrecks. Beautifully constructed, enormously entertaining, and perfect for any baby shower:
Submitted by Vanessa and made by John S.
Pickles and ice cream!! This cake cracks me up. I wonder what flavour it is!
(Now I'm going to get ice cream. Writing this post was like grocery shopping when you're hungry. Such a bad/good/bad idea.)

Filled Endives
I developed this recipe a number of years ago when I was looking for vegetable options for party finger foods and hors d'eurves. So many finger foods are heavy with lots of bread, cheese and meat. These are light and refreshing, and hold up well to sitting out. Nothing to wilt here. The citrus provides a sweet and tangy zing. The pomegranate seeds provide a tart burst. The celery and endive provide and nice crisp crunch. The cranberries provide a chewy sweetness. Finally the pistachios add a bit of umami and even more texture. Salad does not have to be boring and eaten with a fork.

Drug major Lupin on Thursday acquired Mexico's Laboratorios Grin, a leading player in ophthalmic products, for an undisclosed amount, marking its foray into the Latin American country.
The company said it has acquired 100 per cent equity stake in Laboratorios Grin, Mexico.
"The acquisition marks Lupin's foray into the high growth Mexican and the larger Latin American pharmaceuticals market," Lupin Ltd said in a statement.
Incorporated in 1955, Grin is a speciality pharmaceutical company engaged in the development, manufacturing and commercialisation of branded ophthalmic products.
It posted revenues of around million in calendar year, 2013 and has over 275 employees.
"We are very pleased with our entry into the Mexican market through Laboratorios Grin.
"This acquisition is a reflection of Lupin's commitment to expand into the Latin American market and build its global speciality business," Lupin Chief Executive Officer Vinita Gupta said.
The company sees a lot of synergies in this acquisition and plans to bring ophthalmic pipeline to build the Grin business as well as leverage their commercial presence to enter other promising therapy segments, she added.
"Having nurtured and built Grin for so long, I firmly believe that the future and growth of Grin would be best handled by the management and technology expertise that Lupin brings to table," Grin President Victor Fregoso said.
Mexico is one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical markets in the world valued at over .5 billion and growing at 9-10 per cent annually.
According to IMS and other think tanks, it is expected to cross billion by 2018.
Further, Mexican ophthalmic market is currently valued at 5 million and has grown at close to 10 per cent over the last 5 years.
It is expected to reach 0 million by 2017-18.
Lupin shares were trading at Rs 938.65 a piece on the BSE in late afternoon trade, up 0.22 per cent from its previous close.

Underneath all so-called problems, lies that fuel called fear: fear of rejection, fear of dying, fear of falling, fear of not being good enough. Whatever you tag it, it still comes out fear. Fear is what makes the field fertile for the "planting" of hypnotic suggestions which result in behavior labeled by some psychiatrists and psychologists as neurotic, psychotic, paranoid, manic-depressive and, in rare cases, normal.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Headache affects 50 percent of HIV/AIDS patients in the United States, and many of those headaches are severe, a new study says.
Latest Neurology News
About 27.5 percent of the 200 HIV/AIDS patients in the study suffered "chronic migraine," a rare condition in which a person has migraine symptoms (with or without other headaches) for 15 or more days a month. This condition occurs in only 2 percent of the general population.
"This translates into a 13-fold increased risk of chronic migraine among patients with HIV disease," study author Todd Smitherman, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Mississippi, said in a university news release.
"The strongest predictor of headache was the severity of HIV disease, such that patients with more advanced disease had more frequent, more severe and more disabling migraines," he added.
For the study, the researchers interviewed Montgomery, Ala., clinic patients who have HIV or AIDs and reviewed their medical records to look for any other cause of headache.
The findings, recently published online in the journal Headache, could help lead to improved treatment and reduced medical costs for HIV patients who suffer headaches, the researchers said.
"This research is of interest to clinicians and physicians for several reasons," Smitherman said. "Recent research from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that, despite the availability of medications that effectively slow disease progression, most Americans with HIV do not have the disease under control. Our study shows that patients with poorly controlled HIV/AIDS are most prone to suffer also from frequent, severe migraines at rates that far exceed those of the general population."
The authors said theirs is the first study since highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became widely available to find that having HIV/AIDS is associated with a very high risk of headache, particularly migraines.
Doctors need to regularly monitor immune system functioning in HIV/AIDS patients and pay close attention to headache symptoms in those with more advanced disease, the researchers said.

Facebook is coming out with a third-party ad network, its latest change to its terms of service indicates.
That's a change its chief privacy officer presaged back in presaged back in May.
And it's been a move that Facebook investors have been looking forward to for some time.
To place ads on third-party websites, Facebook needs to implement changes to its terms of service, so it can use data about users' likes and other information they've shared on the social network outside Facebook proper.
Years ago, in response to some forgotten privacy kerfuffle, Facebook instituted a byzantine process where users could sort of have a vote on changes to its terms of service. Most of the coverage of Facebook's new terms of service have focused on the elimination of this voting process.
In reality, it was highly unlikely that conditions would ever be met for the vote to be binding on Facebook, but the process was cumbersome and slowed down changes. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hates slowness—his motto is "move fast and break things."
Facebook has a huge share of Web traffic already, with 1 billion users a month. But placing ads on third-party websites, as Google does with its profitable AdSense program, could make Facebook a must-buy for marketers.
Anyway, that's the only part of this latest terms-of-service fuss that investors need to pay attention to—not whether Facebook is doing something that privacy activists find sinister.
Update: We got the timing of Forbes's conversation with Facebook's chief privacy officer wrong. It was in May, not this month, though the proposal to change Facebook's terms of service occurred recently.

A six-try romp against the Melbourne Storm is usually cause for celebration but Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson says his team still has a lot of work to do.
The defending NRL champions rolled the Storm 32-12 at AAMI Park on Sunday in a case of being too big, fast and hungry for the home side.
Robinson still picked plenty of holes in his team's performance.
"I feel like we're going OK but we need to improve still," he said.
"We gave up too much ball to the opposition and some small defensive things that we've got to keep on top of."
The Roosters halves James Maloney and Mitchell Pearce made another statement about their NSW State of Origin omission, with Maloney having a hand in most of his team's four-pointers.
Two of the tries were scored by ageless skipper Anthony Minichiello, who opened and closed their tally.
The powerhouse Roosters forwards, led by Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and hooker Jake Friend, made too many quick, easy metres up the middle with speedsters Michael Jennings and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck doing damage out wide.
Waerea-Hargreaves was put on report in the 21st minute for a high tackle which sparked a melee and resulted in Roosters lock Frank-Paul Nuuausala and Storm prop Bryan Norrie being put in the sin-bin.
The Storm went into the match without injured superstars Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater.
Ben Hampton filled Cronk's halfback role but an ineffective kicking game left the home side struggling for options.
Trailing 16-0 at halftime, they didn't get across the tryline until the 48th minute when Ben Roberts was brought into the halves and set up a try for winger Mahe Fonua.
Just when it appeared a Storm comeback was on the cards, Maloney sent the ball wide to Tuivasa-Sheck who showed dazzling footwork to cross in the corner and push the lead out to 14 points.
A Sonny Bill Williams try soon after put the result beyond doubt.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy said his team's 41 missed tackles made it a tough day at the office.
He did however make mention of diminutive Storm fullback Kurt Mann, who was rewarded for a stand-out game with a late try.
"The effort at times was really good but our execution, especially defensively, was poor," Bellamy said.
"We're struggling with a lack of personnel but we're making it a lot harder on ourselves than we should be.
"It's a frustrating time but we've just to keep our nose to the grindstone and work our way out of it."
Compounding the home side's misery forward Mitch Garbutt suffered a grade three medial ligament tear and will miss six to eight weeks.
