Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Final Destination (cont.)
When you regain control after the confrontation cutscene, his quick-shooting friend will wield a gun and begin firing. Immediately take him down (you should have an uzi and/or a shotgun by this point, so either will do -- a pistol is a distant third choice). Lenny books it across the tracks, though, and two trains coming from both directions will give him a head start on you. This is where things get difficult. If you're good, you'll be able to run to the other side of the platform and gun down Lenny as he's running down the stairs. Even one shot will slow him down, make him stagger, or make him fall outright so you can finish the deal. Otherwise, a car chase will ensue.
If the car chase occurs, you're in for a bit of a headache, because while Lenny drives relatively slowly, getting him to actually stop is a real pain in the ass. He'll jump in his car, but there should be a car for you to jack nearby. Stay on his tail, ramming him and trying to spin him out. Shoot some bullets at him through his windshield or windows, and do anything you can to damage him and make him stop. There's no doubt you've attracted the police's attention by now (in fact, your flagrant use of firearms at the subway station probably got that ball rolling), so you're gonna have to deal with a lot here. It really pays off to kill him as he descends the stairs back at the station. It makes this mission ten times easier.

Car keys can only be ordered through an authorized Porsche dealer. Sometimes, this may take a long time.
You should therefore always keep a spare key convenient. Keep it in a safe place, but under no circumstances in or on the vehicle.
The key codes of new keys have to be "taught" to the vehicle control unit by an authorized Porsche dealer. All keys belonging to the vehicle must also be taught again for this purpose.

Wilmington leaders are eying a 1.7-acre parcel of land for sale on the Cape Fear River.
Wilmington leaders are eying a 1.7-acre parcel of land for sale on the Cape Fear River.
The undeveloped land, at 606 Surry St., is next to the city's Dram Tree Park at the corner of Surry and Castle streets under the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Last week, Robert Gardner, who owns the land, contacted the city about the land being up for sale, according to an email to City Manager Sterling Cheatham from Belinda Jarrard, a property acquisition specialist.
"They are aware that the acquisition of this parcel is part of the city's Vision 2020 plan and wanted to make sure we are aware that it is for sale," Jarrard wrote. The property's asking price is $650,000, according to the email.
The land is valued at $412,400, according to New Hanover County tax records. Gardner bought the land in August for $450,000, according to county records.
The Vision 2020 plan calls for the expansion of Dram Tree Park, including active, recreational spaces.
On Tuesday, Cheatham confirmed the city is considering buying the land.
"We're just taking a look at the property to see whether or not it's strategic to pursue it right now," he said.
Price and functionality will heavily enter into that discussion. Because the city has no funds earmarked for the park, buying it would mean something else would likely have to get bumped, Cheatham said.
The property is pie-shaped, and the city would need to consider how it could tie-in with Dram Tree Park. Additionally, as the N.C. Department of Transportation slowly studies adding a crossing over the Cape Fear River, there is a lingering possibility an option could encroach on the land. "It could affect the whole park," Cheatham said.
Though there are issues to consider, Cheatham called the possibility a "great opportunity" and said a larger park would benefit the downtown area.
"I think there's a huge appetite in this community for park space," he said.
In August, the city completed upgrades to the park, including the addition of parking spaces for cars and boat trailers. In 2010, renovations included a new boat ramp and kayak launch.
Though Cheatham said the expansions were a "shot in the arm," he added, "a little bit larger park would make a lot more people happy."
Though city officials will study the possibility, the city council would have the ultimate say on whether the city buys the land.

Just got back from my trip to Oregon on Saturday, which included a trip to Bend and 10 Barrel. My second time at 10 Barrel and have to say the beer is very good (as well as the food). Probably my favorite there after Deschutes. Yes there are 12 breweries in Bend but not all the breweries were great. We hit up all of them (we were there for 3 days, so not all in one night). The best of the bunch: Deschutes, 10 Barrel, Crux, Three Creeks (in Sisters), and Boneyard. Good but not great: Old Mill Brew Werks, Silver Moon, Old St. Francis (McMenamins), Bend Brewing. Not so good (in my opinion): Cascade Lakes and GoodLife.Just amazed how much the city as grown since my last visit just two years ago.
Now there are 14

Welcome to Shakespeare Country
Birthplace of William Shakespeare
Find your perfect place to stay...
Visit and experience the local cuisine, traditional towns and villages and watch the history come alive as you explore William Shakespeare's birthplace. There is so much to see and do you will need to plan your visit before you get here and if you decide to stay a while there is a wide range of accommodation to choose from.
Since 2008, Stratford has hosted the Stratford-upon-Avon Literary Festival, which comprises of two literary events a year, one in spring and a shorter festival in autumn.
You can enjoy a picnic in the popular Bancroft Gardens and river area while watching the river activities such as rowing, motor boats and cruises along with the many entertainers who often perform on the river bank.
While in Stratford you can visit the five houses relating to Shakespeare's life which is owned and looked after by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. These include Hall's Croft (the one-time home of Shakespeare's daughter) and Nash's House, which is on the same site as New Place which was owned by Shakespeare himself and where he died. In Shottery is Anne Hathaway's Cottage, the home of Shakespeare's wife's before they married. Mary Arden's House, the family home of Shakespeare's mother.
The first theatre in Stratford was a temporary wooden construction built in 1769 by the actor David Garrick for his Shakespeare Jubilee celebrations to mark Shakespeare's birthday. In the early 1870s, the local council were gifted several acres of riverside land on the understanding that a permanent theatre be built in Shakespeare's memory, and by 1879 the first Shakespeare Memorial Theatre had been completed.
Other attractions include the Stratford Butterfly Farm and Stratford Armouries which are both in close proximity to the town centre. For a day out with the kids why not visit Twycross Zoo which is home to over 900 animals of more than 150 species.

Researchers say, elevated temperatures and a longer growing season mean some of Earth's chilliest regions are looking increasingly green.
As reported and base from the new study, at present the plant life at northern latitudes often looks like the vegetation researchers would have observed up to 430 miles (700 kilometers) farther south in 1982.
"It's like Winnipeg, Manitoba, moving to Minneapolis-Saint Paul in only 30 years," study researcher Compton Tucker of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said in a statement.
A team of university and NASA scientists including Tucker looked at 30 years' worth of satellite and land surface data on vegetation growth from 45 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Ocean. The researchers suggest that, in this region, large patches of lush vegetation now stretch over an area about the size of the continental United States and resemble what was found 4 to 6 latitude degrees to the south in 1982.
"Higher northern latitudes are getting warmer, Arctic sea ice and the duration of snow cover are diminishing, the growing season is getting longer and plants are growing more," climate scientist Ranga Myneni of Boston University said in a statement, adding that the changes are leading to great disruptions for the region's ecosystems.
In the precedent several decades the Arctic has been warming more rapidly than the rest of any part of earth. An amplified greenhouse effect is largely to blame for the changes in plant life, says Myneni. In this succession, high concentrations of heat-trapping gasses drive up temperatures in the ocean and atmosphere. This warming trims down Arctic sea ice and snow cover, reason for the oceans and land surfaces in the region to be exposed this is also because the ice and snow are more reflective than darker surfaces. These surfaces soak up more heat from the sun's rays, so further heating of the air and further reduction of sea ice and snow emerge as a consequence. Myneni warns that the cycle could get worse.
"The greenhouse effect could be further amplified in the future as soils in the north thaw, releasing potentially significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane," Myneni said.
Because of the rising temperatures Arctic and boreal regions could see the equivalent of a 20-degree latitude shift by the end of this century, the team found this out using climate models. The amplified greenhouse effect could have other consequences, like more forest fires, pest infestations and droughts, which cut vegetation growth, researchers say.
And the availability of water and sunlight determines where plants will thrive. "Satellite data identify areas in the boreal zone that are warmer and dryer and other areas that are warmer and wetter," Ramakrishna Nemani of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., explained in a statement. "Only the warmer and wetter areas support more growth."
The researchers furthermore saw additional plant growth in the boreal zone from 1982 to 1992 than from 1992 to 2011. And they thought this could be because of the lack of water in the region during the last two decades of the study.

DetNews: Barwis Training The Seniors
An article on Barwis training Michigan's graduating seniors. Two quotes stick out from the artcile:
Molk said his agent initially presented him with options of training at elite locations in Arizona, Florida or Texas.
"The other places are resorts — you come here to work," said Molk, the Rimington Trophy winner who had surgery Jan. 13 and will be limited four months.
The 6-foot-6 Van Bergen said his weight is the same — 288 pounds — but his physique has changed, evidenced by the fact he couldn't make his stomach protrude so he could show teammates his "fat stomach" look.
"I've lost 3 to 4 inches off my stomach, and my strength has gone up dramatically," Van Bergen said. "And this is nothing against Michigan's strength program — this is a different kind of training. We're training hard."

Press Release
State Asserts Ownership to the Mosquito Fork of the Fortymile River
June 1, 2012
June 1, 2012, Anchorage, Alaska – Today, the State of Alaska filed suit against the United States government to assert ownership of the land underlying the Mosquito Fork of the Fortymile River. This case is an important step toward addressing jurisdictional difficulties facing owners of mining claims within the bed of the river.
Under the U.S. Constitution as well as federal law, the State of Alaska gained ownership to the beds of navigable or tidally-influenced water on the date of statehood. The only exceptions are waters expressly withdrawn by the federal government prior to statehood or waters determined to be "non-navigable." The federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has rejected evidence presented by the state that the Mosquito Fork is navigable. It has instead labeled the river "non-navigable" and denied the state's ownership of the land underlying that river.
"Contrary to BLM's determination, the evidence of historic and current use clearly establishes navigability and the state's ownership of the Mosquito Fork," Attorney General Geraghty said.
Through a recent agreement between the state and BLM, Alaska enjoys the only successful program in the nation which can administratively clear up disputes over the state's ownership of riverbeds. This program has been successful for other waterways.
"Despite our best efforts, BLM has been unwilling to reconsider its determination that the Mosquito Fork and other rivers in the Fortymile area are non-navigable," Geraghty said. "BLM's failure to reconsider the status of these rivers has forced us to resort to litigation to protect these important constitutional rights."
For more information on the case, please contact Assistant Attorney General Jessie Alloway at 269-5100.

Drive on Colo. Highway 119 out of Longmont, either east or west, and you'll see it.
You'll walk under it when you enter the library from the west.
It towers over you in front of the Safety and Justice Center.
Public art is found throughout the city, and sometimes you may not even notice it. But other times, it will catch your eye and cause you to pause and ponder it.
"People love being surprised by public artwork," said Lauren Greenfield, administrator of Art in Public Places. "People smile when they see public artwork."
Well, sometimes.
After Flor del Llano, Greg Reiche's abstract sculpture was built at Colo. Highway 119 and Third Avenue, many Longmont residents had a fit.
The sculpture, whose name translates as "Flower of the Plain," features two tall, metal monoliths, which frame the sugar factory and Longs Peak, and 391 small, vertical stones that represent the founders of the Chicago Colony, Longmont's early beginning.
Flor del Llano is one of the biggest and most expensive -- $220,000 -- public art pieces in the city, so Greenfield and the Art in Public Places commission sought public comment while it was being planned.
After the 15-member commission chose five finalists, a public meeting offered the chance for residents to comment. Eighty-five showed up, she said.
Yet, when the piece was finished in 2007, criticism rained on it.
Times-Call readers went so far as to call it a waste of money, an eyesore and even suggested it be named "Flor del Muerto," which is "Flower of the Dead."
As time passes, though, those reactions generally wane, Greenfield said.
"It really grows on them," she said.
At the other end of the city, "The Spirit of Longmont" adorns the median of the Diagonal Highway just west of Hover Street.
Berthoud artist Rafe Ropke created 48 6-foot-high aluminum leaves set on poles that allow them to twist in the wind. In the middle, a reflecting ball mirrors their image. The piece, which was installed in 2009, was Art in Public Place's 50th installation.
Like "Flor del Llano," "Spirit" was an expensive piece -- $225,000 -- but not nearly as controversial. Times-Call archives show no derogatory comments, such as those leveled at "Flor."
Greenfield said she likes to invite the complainers to sit on the selection panels.
"They come around throughout the process," she said.
The future of public art
This year, Art in Public Places is focusing on several smaller projects, some of which began in 2011, Greenfield said.
Loomiller Park, at 11th Avenue and Sumner Street, will be site of a new sculpture. Steel "trees" will hold discs decorated with laser cut-outs of wildlife and birds. The three trees will form a triangle, she said.
Also, the program wants to add to its Shock Art program, in which local artists decorate electrical switch boxes. Although Shock Art has a small budget (about $1,500 each), the commission will still seek public comment on the proposals.
Beginning with ArtWalk in May, Longmont art lovers will get to see and vote on proposed Shock Art boxes.
"We felt it was important to get that input," Greenfield said.
City ordinance provides financing
Longmont created its Art in Public Places program in 1987, but didn't create a funding mechanism for it until two years later.
Then, the City Council passed a law placing a 1 percent levy on capital improvement projects that cost more than $50,000. So when the city builds something big -- like the Longmont Recreation Center and the Longmont Museum in 1999 -- it had to put 1 percent of the $22.8 million budget into the fund.
Private builders also contribute to the program when they pay development fees.
"Our funds have to go toward public art," Greenfield said.
Besides paying for new art pieces, the program also has to cover maintenance of its existing works, Greenfield said.
Since its budget relies on large remodeling and reconstruction activity, Art in Public Places has seen its budget shrink for the past few years, Greenfield said.
In 2006, Art in Public Places had revenue of $179,203 and a total budget of $258,590. That fell, in 2010, to revenue of $55,606 and a total budget of $56,719.
The budget sprouted up in 2011, with the construction of the Ken Pratt Boulevard Walmart store, but has settled back down for 2012. The projected revenue is $73,378 and the projected budget is $127,467. The difference is covered by the fund's starting balance.
To control maintenance costs, Greenfield controls the art pieces: No elaborate lighting and no water features. They aren't good investments, she said.
"I'm pretty strict about that," she said.

Gurdeep Singh Chadha was one of India's most powerful businessmen, a liquor and real estate baron whose influence was intertwined with his money. Known as Ponty, he was a mysterious figure, described in the media as an "invisible man," even as his political influence protected him.
But Mr. Chadha, who was in his mid- to late 50s, was killed on Saturday, shot in the chest, reportedly by his younger brother Hardeep, who was also killed, after an argument escalated into a gunfight at a luxury farmhouse outside New Delhi. The Shakespearean overtones were inescapable: the brothers had been fighting over the family business since their father's death last year. They converged at the farmhouse with retinues of armed guards, and soon the bullets flew.
"Some businesses need BlackBerrys," said a member of the extended family, who would identify himself only as Mr. Kohli. "Some businesses need guards."
In an era of rampant crony capitalism, Mr. Chadha was among the class of businessmen who symbolized the nexus between money and political power in India. He exerted influence in four northern states, especially in Uttar Pradesh, home to roughly 200 million people, where he had been awarded monopoly control over the state's wholesale liquor business and held the contract to provide millions of daily midday meals to poor schoolchildren.
His power in Uttar Pradesh was evident within hours of his death: nearly all the liquor stores in the huge state were shuttered, according to the online edition of Tehelka, an Indian news magazine, while his family's multiplex movie theaters also closed down. Critics say Mr. Chadha bought his influence with bribes, though such charges were never proved.
"It's a sad reflection on the state of Indian politics that a man like him could wield so much clout," said Prakash Singh, who once commanded the state police in Uttar Pradesh. "He used money power to great advantage."
The Chadha family's wealth has been estimated to be $1 billion to $10 billion, with holdings that include paper mills, shopping malls, movie theaters, sugar refineries and residential real estate projects. The family business, now known as Wave Inc., began under Mr. Chadha's father but expanded rapidly during the past decade as Mr. Chadha courted political leaders, especially Mayawati, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Mr. Chadha gained control of the liquor business and was allowed to purchase several state-owned sugar mills at deeply discounted prices.
In February, he seemed to have finally fallen out of official favor. Tax inspectors raided his offices, though so far nothing has come of the investigation. His supporters praised his generous nature, noting that he had built a hospital for mentally and physically disabled children, made donations to the poor and paid to restore temples of his Sikh religion.
"Successful people are always targeted; therefore, he was targeted by the media," said Vijayant Jaiswal, a longtime business partner. "I would say he made the best use of the system. For any business of that scale, not just the liquor business, you need to have political backing."
Mr. Chadha's violent death stunned India's political class, as well as his extended family. On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered at a crematorium in New Delhi, awaiting the arrival of his body and his brother's. Arrangements had been made to conduct simultaneous funeral rites and incinerate the bodies side by side. Indeed, the family had bought half-page obituary notices in Sunday's issues of some leading Indian newspapers, in which photographs of both brothers were featured.
"Imagine two brothers fighting, responsible for each other's killing," said one man at Sunday's ceremony, Mr. Sahni, who gave only his surname. "Then they are on the same obituary page in the papers. And now they are being cremated side by side."
There were conflicting witness accounts of Saturday's confrontation, but, broadly, police officials told Indian news media that the shootout had been set off by a dispute over ownership of the luxury farmhouse. By some accounts, Mr. Chadha had taken an armed entourage to seize control of the property, and his brother Hardeep had rushed over with his own guards to confront him. An argument erupted, and the younger brother is reported to have shot Mr. Chadha. He was then shot by one of the guards who had accompanied Mr. Chadha.
Gaurang Kanth, a lawyer for Hardeep Chadha, said the brothers lived together with their families in a different farmhouse south of New Delhi, a common practice among many Indian families. He said the family was trying to divide business holdings amicably through an out-of-court settlement. He also said Hardeep Chadha had called him on Saturday as he was rushing to the farmhouse to confront Mr. Chadha and his guards.
"He said, 'Make a police complaint,'" Mr. Kanth recalled.
Questions about the killings remain. Both brothers were killed and a third man was injured, yet no one else was reported wounded even though the rival groups apparently fired scores of bullets. Moreover, both brothers were accompanied by police officers from the state of Punjab, assigned to them for security. The officers' actions in the gunfight are also under scrutiny.
"This whole thing was a complete surprise," said Mr. Kanth, who was skeptical that ownership of the farmhouse was the real cause of the shootout.
"They had so much property," he added. "Why would they be fighting over this? Something else triggered it."

AFB and Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation Announce Joint Effort to Empower Individuals with Vision Loss
Partnership will upgrade VisionAware web resource
New York, NY (August 5, 2011)—The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation are teaming up to provide a dynamic and comprehensive web resource to help the 25 million Americans with vision loss.
The new site will integrate VisionAware, a popular web and social networking resource sponsored by Partners for Sight, into the AFB family of web sites, which serves millions of people annually by delivering information and resources about living with vision loss. The site is expected to be unveiled in early 2012 and will target working age adults, senior citizens and the families and caregivers of people with visual impairments.
This collaboration comes at a time when more and more Americans are beginning to experience vision loss due to an increase in diabetes rates and age-related eye conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma. It is well-documented that the majority of these individuals do not have regular access to vision rehabilitation services and information that can help increase independence. Partners for Sight and AFB's goal is to fill this information gap.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation, and integrating VisionAware into the AFB family of web programs," said Carl R. Augusto, AFB President and CEO. "Many people don't know where to turn for help and information when they're first diagnosed with vision loss. This site will provide a one-stop location for the resources available to those experiencing vision problems."
"We expect this partnership to significantly improve the quality of life of adults with vision loss by raising awareness of vision rehabilitation services and providing information, resources and customized guidance that can help people live more active, independent, full lives," said Susan Olivo, Executive Director, Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation.
About AFB
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is a national nonprofit that expands possibilities for people with vision loss. AFB's priorities include broadening access to technology; elevating the quality of information and tools for the professionals who serve people with vision loss; and promoting independent and healthy living for people with vision loss by providing them and their families with relevant and timely resources. Headquartered in New York, AFB is proud to house the Helen Keller Archives and honor the more than 40 years that Helen Keller worked tirelessly with AFB.
About Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation
Since 1955, Reader's Digest Partners for Sight Foundation (PFS) has been a vital source of support on local, regional and national levels for the blind and visually impaired. With an emphasis on connecting people in need with resources and services, the Foundation has provided new technology, new opportunity and new hope for hundreds of thousands of people across the United States.

Degree, and Date to be Conferred.
After two copies of the dissertation have been inspected and approved at the Graduate School Office, the student will deliver these
copies to the Photography Division of Printing Services, Alderman Library, and pay for the cost of permanent binding. A receipt showing
that these two copies of the dissertation have been delivered to the Photography Division of Printing Services must be returned to the
Graduate School Office. Personal copies will also be handled by the Photography Division of Printing Services. Theses/Dissertations can
be submitted electronically instead of submitting hard copies. Please visit the Printing Services webpage at
for complete details to ensure your files meet all guidelines.
More detailed instructions for preparing a dissertation are available in the Enrolled Student Office (438 Cabell Hall, 924-7183) or
at http://www.virginia.edu/artsandsciences/grad/thesis.html. The student should consult the advisory professor in reference to any
special departmental requirements relating to the dissertation.
All dissertations will be published by having a master microfilm negative made from each original dissertation. These negatives will
be stored and serviced by University Microfilms of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Positive microfilms, or enlarged prints, will be produced to
order at the standard rate for other scholars who desire access to any dissertation.
Each dissertation, when submitted, must be accompanied by three copies of an abstract of 350 words or fewer. The abstract, or
summary, will be published in Microfilms Abstracts for national distribution. No dissertation will be accepted without this abstract.

acceptance of the dissertation by the advisory professor and the department concerned, the dean will appoint, upon nomination of the
department, a special committee to examine the candidate upon such phases of the major subject and of allied subjects as the committee
shall prescribe. The examining committee, under the chairmanship of the advisor professor, will consist of not fewer than four members
from the graduate faculty, one of whom must be from another department and serves as a representative of the graduate faculty. Through
its chair, the examining committee may invite other members of the departmental faculty to take part in the examination; indeed, it is
recommended that the doctoral examination be given before the entire professional staff of the department concerned. The result of the
examination, with the names of the examiners and their departmental affiliation, must be reported by the chair of the examining
committee to the Graduate School no later than two weeks before final exercises.

Both Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert have returned on their respective shows, after a 3 month hiatus due to the writers' guild strike. The biggest change? They're running solo — no writers.
Having watched a few nights' worth of the "new" shows, I can't see a difference. It seems to be the exact, same comedic humor that graced the shows before, only maybe funnier. This, of course, can't possibly help the writers' strike, since it shows that hosts like Stewart and Colbert don't need them.
The Writers' Guild is unhappy about this, of course, but can you blame Stewart and Colbert? They have to make a living too, and I missed out on my Indecision 2008 coverage thanks to them. Maybe this is how it should have always been… no writers, just the funny host.
Who needs the writers?
