'Armadillo' Plays Well in Peoria But Is Panned by Drug Dealers
PEORIA, Ill. -- This industrial city, hard hit by the recession, has found a new, low-budget way to fight crime: Park an unmanned, former Brink's truck bristling with video cameras in front of the dwellings of troublemakers.
Police here call it the Armadillo.

I am slowly recovering. My body still aches and my voice is still fairly non-existent, but it was so worth it. I feel like I've come a long way during this whole thing.

A City Committed to Recycling Is Ready for More
By FELICITY BARRINGER
Published: May 7, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Gavin Newsom is competitive about many things, garbage included.

The San Francisco Recycling Center processes about 750 tons of recyclables a day, and Mayor Gavin Newsom wants to add to that total.
