...economy to a halt. All in their early 20s, rail thin and with the prison pallor acquired from long nights spent hunched over monitors, they look like what they are: a bunch of nerds. They refuse to give their real names, referring to one another by nicknames--Blacksmith, Firestarter, Fisherman, Floorsweeper, Chef, Plumber, Pharmacist. All vehemently deny having anything to do with attacks on U.S. government systems. "Messing with the U.S. Department of Defense is no small thing," says Floorsweeper. "We read about arrested terrorists, about Guantánamo. Who gets away with messing with the U.S. government...
...Science and Engineering, actually do? The answer starts out vague, but eventually pride gets the better of the young men. They acknowledge that the group first got its reputation by hacking 40% of the hacker associations' websites in China. That was during their "young and hotheaded college days," as Fisherman puts it.

What if we don't pay for this cab fare right now, but if I catch the ball, I'll give...
Oyarce would have been finished with his neighborhood near Pisco's fisherman's wharf if his crew only had to move debris. The streets, however, are now home to dozens of families who have stacked their few possessions in front of what were once their homes and they are not moving for bulldozers or work crews. "These people have lost everything and now we have to ask them to move away from their homes. It is the hardest thing I have had to do," he says. "There is resistance, but people cannot stay here, it is unsafe...
