Human walking has been a highly studied topic in research communities because of its extreme importance to human functionality and mobility. A complex system of interconnected gait mechanisms in humans is responsible for generating robust and consistent walking motion over unpredictable ground and through challenging obstacles. One interesting aspect of human gait is the ability to adjust in order to accommodate varying surface grades. Typical approaches to investigating this gait function focus on incline and decline surface angles, but most experiments fail to address the effects of surface grades that cause ankle inversion and eversion. There have been several studies …

NEGATOR Completes Recording New Album
German black/death metallers NEGATOR have finished recording their fourth album at Hammer Studios in Hamburg with producer Eike Freese (GAMMA RAY, CALLEJON, DARK AGE, NEOPERA) for an early 2013 release via Viva Hate Records. The follow-up to 2010's "Panzer Metal" will be mixed and mastered in January.
Says the band: "The highly anticipated fourth album will see the black of the world in spring 2013 and will — again — take no prisoners. The Panzer keeps on rolling relentlessly, even though there will be some surprises. Expect nothing but a great NEGATOR album. And it will be that very year — 2013 — when the NEGATOR will see his 10th anniversary. And after one decade of raging, extreme black metal one thing still applies: lined up to create values — made to be indispensable!"
In other news, NEGATOR has released a limited-edition seven-inch single, "The Great Atrocities", on white vinyl through EMP. The single comes with a dark-gray-logo shirt and is limited to only 200 copies worldwide.
NEGATOR vocalist Nachtgarm has been fronting Swedish black metallers DARK FUNERAL since June 2011.

SEMINOLE — Ivy Lippard and her husband used $20,000 from their retirement fund to open Cake Affection bakery and counted on steady traffic from the new Walmart across the street and families from Keswick Christian School stopping in after school to grab a cupcake.
Now a median that went up recently makes it difficult for either customer base to get to the store at 4691 100th Way N.
"We just signed our lease March 1. We actually looked at several different properties in this area, and one of the reasons we really chose this location was it was such easy access from all directions," said Lippard, a 36-year-old mother of four. "Now we already know at least half of our business will be cut off because there is no way to get in here."
Khattar Baydoun, who has run Bay Pines Grocery & Deli for more than two decades, stood in his parking lot watching construction workers leave the Walmart site, the former Bay Pines Mobile Home Park, and bypass his store because the median forces them to make a right turn instead of going across the street.
"Look at that. There go my customers," he said. "To be here 25 years and overnight Walmart can come in put up a median that pretty much blocks customers from coming in, it's ridiculous."
He estimates that business is down 90 percent since the median went in because most of his customers stop in on their way out of Bay Pines Estates in the morning or after dinner. Now they can't turn left into his store as they leave the area.
The median was installed to better control the increased traffic Walmart will bring to the intersection, according to Tom Washburn, Pinellas County traffic engineer.
He acknowledged that the road work has cut direct access from the southbound lanes of 100th Way to several businesses.
"We did take a look at (putting a break in the median) but we are very concerned about the conflicts providing a break would create there," Washburn said. He said that while southbound motorists can't turn left into the stores from 100th Way, they can make a left on Bay Pines Boulevard, then go down and make a U-turn on 98th Way N, and then make a right on 100th Way to have access.
"Customers will think it's a big inconvenience to get in and out of," said Agee Luong, owner of On-Site Marine Upholstery. He has commercial clients like spas and hotels that will still see him as a destination, but he will have much less exposure to residential customers, he said.
Baydoun, the minimart owner, agrees. "I count on selling a pack of cigarettes or selling a six-pack of beer. If it's too hard to get here, people can get that somewhere else," he said.
He wonders how the large trucks that deliver beer to the store will exit the area. They can't make a U-turn at the end of the median, which is a tight squeeze even for a small car. Yet they aren't allowed to go through the residential neighborhood at the end of 100th Way.
"If nobody will deliver to me, I can't stay in business," he said.
Washburn said he understands these business owners' frustration but checked with the city of Seminole and didn't see any of them on record as attending or speaking out at public hearings about the Walmart and road changes.
The business owners say they were not aware of the meetings or the plans for the median.

Apple Sunday
Yup, it's Sunday again. Which means you get to read a lovely post from me!
So, you want to know what we've been doing at the orchard since it's not apple season – probably resting and watching lots of TV, right? Nope, the guys have been trudging through the crazy amounts of snow in the orchard working on getting the trees pruned and ready for spring. It has not been a fun year for pruning. One Sunday I didn't feel like driving all the way to the gym so instead I took a "walk" around the orchard…man was that a workout! In some spots, the snow went higher than my knees! And, to make it even worse, there would be places were you could walk on top of the snow but then all of a sudden you would sink. Now, imagine having to do that hauling a chain saw and pruning shears around! But, it has to get done.
Diane, Frank and Jared have also been slaving away in our commercial kitchen processing our apples into various yummy canned goods. In the upcoming weeks there is strong possibility that we will be offering these for sale online. I'll keep you posted.
Jared has also continued to renovate the shed to convert it into our 'store'. Every time I go in there I'm amazed at what he's accomplished so far. I can't wait for everyone to come and see it!
I have been busy enjoying time with my girls and stocking up on more craft items. I recently agreed to be a seller at a new boutique in Milwaukee, Project M, so I've been franticly making enough jewelry to send down there. I also have a few different shows coming up this Spring, the 'Valentine's Craftacular' and 'Cupcakes and Crafts'. Keep an eye on my 'crafty' blog to see what's happening: www.kimscraftyapple.blogspot.com
And now, as promised…something about apples!
We're going with a fun apple fact today!
Apples are one of the few fruits that you can find fresh any time of the year, all over the country.
(found on the WAGA website)
Apple Info Sunday
Hi everyone! So I will no longer post a recipe every Sunday from one of our Cookbooks: Apple-tizing Recipes or Farm Fresh Recipes from Lapacek's Orchard. You'll have to look back at previous Sunday's or get your own book from now on! BUT I will be posting random apple info each Sunday – that may be facts, trivia, or even a recipe! Today I am actually posting a recipe I recently posted on my One Beer Mom Blog. I really enjoy it so I wanted to share it with more readers – and it's healthy!
I am currently in the process of trying out different recipes to see what I like and will make again. I do have a problem actually 'following' a recipe so I'll be sure to share my little tweaks with you all. Here's one I made the other day and have continued to make pretty much every morning for breakfast since… (it's from Hungry Girl 200 under 200):
Creamy Hot Apple Breakfast with Pecan Crunch
POINTS® Value: 3
Servings: 1
Course: light meals
1 small apple(s), peeled and chunked (any sweet, not tat, variety)
1 bar(s) Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bar Pecan Crunch Granola Bar (recipe called for Maple Brown Sugar)
2 tsps SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener
1 1/2 tsp. sugar-free fat-free cheesecake instant pudding mix (recipe calls for Vanilla)
1 1/2 tsp clear gel (recipe called for cornstarch but I don't have that…just clear gel)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup(s) water, cold
In a micro-wave safe bowl, place pudding mix, sweetener, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Add water and stir until blended.
Add apple chunks to the bowl and toss them in the liquid mixture. Cover bowl and microwave for 2 1/2 min. Allow the mixture to thicken and cool for a few minutes before removing from the microwave.
Meanwhile, place the granola bar in a sealable plastic bag. Place on flat surface, ad use a rolling pin or a can to crush the bar through the bag until you have small crumbly pieces (super easy!).
Once bowl containing apple mixture is cool enough to handle, stir in granola pieces. (If you want crunchy, make sure you add the granola pieces AFTER it is cool enough for you to eat…otherwise they get a bit soggy…)
Winter in the Orchard
We woke up Sunday morning to the beautiful site of the orchard covered in snow crystals. I went trekking through the ridiculously deep snow and snapped a few shots… the back of our house Our hoop house… Even the chickens wanted to see the beautiful orchard!
Recipe Sunday (one last time) – Apple Ice Cream Roll
This is my fifty-second recipe post…I have posted a new recipe every Sunday for the past year. I will not be posting anymore recipes from our cookbooks (at least not on any sort of regular basis) but if you have a great recipe you would like me to share on here please email me at email@example.com. Thanks so much and I hope you've enjoyed 'Recipe Sunday'.
Apple Ice Cream Roll
by Kathryn Lapacek
3 large eggs
1 c. sugar
2 c. applesauce (very good quality, not too thin…best if it's Lapacek's Applesauce)
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
powdered sugar
1 qt. vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
Line a greased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan with waxed paper; grease paper. Place eggs in a mixing bowl; beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar and 1/2 cup of applesauce. Sift flour, baking powder, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together. Blend flour mixture into egg mixture, using low speed. Spread batter in pan. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven for 15 minutes or until cake is lightly brown and springs back when pressed gently. Sprinkle kitchen towel with powdered sugar; immediately invert cake onto towel. Remove waxed paper, roll cake and towel together from narrow end. Let cake completely cool. Unroll cake, trimming edges if desired. Remove from the towel and spread with the softened ice cream; re-roll. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze. Blend remaining 1-1/2 cups applesauce and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. Chill. When ready to serve cut roll into slices and top each slice with chilled applesauce. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
NOTE: This dessert is sure to yield compliments, yet is easy to prepare with ingredients that are uncomplicated. Make it ahead of time and store in freezer.

Recipe Sunday – Peach Cobbler
I was looking back through the last year's recipe and noticed that I only have two more recipes to post to fulfill my 'One recipe every Sunday for a Year' promise. I hope you enjoy these last couple.
For the future if you all would like to submit recipes to me to post on Sunday I would do that since I know people reading this blog enjoy it. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your recipes containing either:
- Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Pumpkins, Squash, and Zucchini (and anything else we grow on Lapacek's Orchard that I may be forgetting). OR
- A new type of recipe we will also be collecting are those recipes made 'from Scratch'. I feel that the art of cooking has been lost with my generation and I would like to help revive it.
Here's today's recipe:
Peach Cobbler
from Gwen Washnieski
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 T. cornstarch
4 c. sliced peaches
1 c. lemon juice
Pre-heat oven to 375-degrees. Blend sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 2-quart casserole. Keep fruit mixture hot in oven while preparing biscuit topping.
Biscuit Topping
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt, if desired
3 T. margarine
1/2 c. 1% milk
Measure flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into bowl. Add margarine and milk. Cut through shortening 6 times: mix until dough forms a ball. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot fruit. Bake 30-35 minutes or until biscuit topping is golden brown.

2010 Wisconsin Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Conference
Every year we attend the Wisconsin Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Conference to learn more and try to improve the way we grow apples, minimize the amount of spray we use and learn new, fun things to do to entertain our visitors. This year, Frank and Jared tended to go to the apple and berry sessions of the conference while Diane and I typically attended the Agritourism sessions. We had good speakers, we had informative sessions and sessions that were just a repeat of themselves. But as always, it's those great sessions you attend or that friend you make in the long line to the potato bar that gives you that perfect idea for the next season. I also find that this conference tends to re-energize me. Apple season is fun, but it's a lot of work and not a lot of sleep. These conferences get me excited again fro the next season and I have a list of things I want to implement next year. There is also a trade show that runs during the show. You can visit during the breaks or if there is a block of sessions that just don't interest you. One of the most interesting vendors I met this year was Waters Blueberry Farm. They were a couple of passionate brothers who really seemed to now what they were talking about when it came to blueberries. After our initial disappointing blueberry fiasco, it made me want to maybe try out a few of their bushes…we'll have to see… This year Frank's brother Dave and his son Shaun joined us at the conference. They have recently decided to follow a dream and are starting a winery and attended the grape session portion of the conference. You can follow along with their stories at: www.RocknWoolAcres.blogspot.com. It should be interesting!
Here's a picture of us all enjoying a glass of Weggy Wine during the wine and cheese tasting portion of Monday evening (yes, my favorite part). I would like to than my parents for watching the girls so we could attend the conference! It's really nice to not have to worry about them while we're away.
So, I hope your are looking forward to the upcoming season when we are able to show off a few of the new things we've implemented as a result of this conference. I'll try to keep you posted a bit as they happen…
Recipe Sunday – Fresh Salad with A Twist
I thought this would be a good recipe to get everyone started out with in 2010!
Fresh Salad with A Twist
Kim Lapacek
1 pkg. salad
1/2 c. slivered almonds, choose the flavor that suits you
1/2 c. feta cheese, crumbled
1 c. apple, cored, sliced, and cubed
1/4 c. craisins
1/4 c. sunflower seeds
1 can mandarin oranges
shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Mix the salad, almonds, cheese, apples, craisins, sunflower seeds and mandarin oranges in a salad bowl. Toss to blend. Put desired amount into bowl, top with croutons and shredded cheddar cheese. Top with your favorite salad dressing.
NOTE: Vinaigrettes taste amazing with this salad, but I also enjoy a good ranch dressing. Be sure to add the croutons as needed…if they sit in the salad for too long they tend to get soggy.
For this recipe and more great recipe's get your very own Farm Fresh Recipe's from Lapacek's Orchard from Kim's Crafty Apple or at the apple store when it's open in the fall.
Happy 2010
I just wanted to write a brief note to everyone wishing them a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!
This is going to be a big year for Lapacek's Orchard. This is the year we are making the move. The store is moving from my in-law's house out to our place at N1959 Kroncke Road, Poynette, WI. We have all been working hard to make this happen and be a great experience for all. I'll be keeping you all posted on the things we accomplish before the 2010 apple season starts on August 15th.
Cheers to the New Year!

WASHINGTON DC - U.S President Donald Trump has boasted he has China right where he wants them, in relation to ongoing trade talks.

The president made his sentiments known in a series of tweets on Sunday.

In one tweet he says: "We are right where we want to be with China. Remember, they broke the deal with us, tried to renegotiate. We will be taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs from China. Buyers of product can make it themselves in the USA (ideal), or buy it from non-Tariffed countries."

It should be noted the imposition of tariffs in the order of $200 billion, which came into effect at midnight on Friday, on the president's orders, will not result in the U.S. 'taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars.'

The tariffs will be applied on imports of Chinese goods, but they will be paid by those importing them, primarily U.S. companies and businesses. If, as it is anticipated, the increased cost of goods is passed on to the companies' and business' customers, then they will be ultimately paid by U.S. consumers. The disadvantage for China will be that importers will have less of an incentive to buy Chinese goods - however the president's claim it will result in billions of dollars for the U.S. is erroneous at best, or more to the point, misleading.

In another tweet, Mr Trump said: "We will then spend (match or better) the money that China may no longer be spending with our Great Patriot Farmers (Agriculture), which is a small percentage of total Tariffs received, and distribute the food to starving people in nations around the world! GREAT!"

The president on the weekend has been spurring China on, advising the country now is the best time to strike a deal. He said he will be less amenable to a deal if it is not struck until his 'second term.'

The results of this study are important due to the requirement of members of the audit engagement team to identify potential fraud. The results of this study identify a method of improving auditor performance of identifying potential frauds at both the individual brainstorming stage and the subsequent group brainstorming stage. Because the effectiveness of the group brainstorming session is dependent on the quality and quantity of inputs from the individual auditor brainstorming sessions, the present study suggests a simple intervention regarding task representation to improve the performance of these inputs. Specifically, auditors considering potential fraud categories (e.g., revenue recognition, inventory, etc.) one by one, as opposed to all at once, identify a greater quantity and quality of potential frauds. By improving both the individual and group brainstorming stages, auditors are less likely to overlook potential fraud.

The insights highlighted in this paper from research on audit groups/teams inform one's understanding of how best to design group interactions between auditors within the firm and with professionals outside the audit firm, including management, audit committees, and inspectors. These insights are important given the criticism audit firms have faced from regulators and inspectors over the past decade and the multi-person setting present in auditing. Further, while a large literature exists on single-person decision-making, these studies may not generalize to multi-person settings. The review also highlights the need for continued research in this area and the importance audit practitioner involvement with future research efforts.

The results of this study are important for audit firms to consider when conducting multinational audits involving several different local offices. The results suggest that local offices of audit firms may modify inter-office instructions and firm audit methodologies to suit the needs of their local client, including adapting materiality levels. Additionally, results suggest that while some local offices see the worldwide audit team as their "client" other offices are focused on meeting the needs of their local client.

The original WRT54G was first released as a SOHO router in December 2002. The product line supports WiFi and five switched Ethernet ports. (The WAN port is part of the same internal network switch, but on a different VLAN.) The devices have two removable antennas connected through Reverse Polarity TNC connectors. For additional background information, see Linksys WRT54G series.
The different models within the WRT54G series may all look identical. Please refer to the model information sticker on the underside of the unit in order to determine the precise model number and hardware version of your device.

For wireless support on Kernel 2.6 it is recommended to use releases newer than and including "Backfire" 10.3.
Note: the wireless driver names are different in 2.6 from 2.4. You may need to do:
opkg install kmod-b43 wifi detect > /etc/config/wireless
in order to get the correct wireless configuration created.
For versions of the OpenWrt "brcm47xx" target prior to "Attitude Adjustment" 12.09-final, you may wish to use Broadcom's proprietary wl driver due to longstanding issues with the b43 driver in Linux kernel versions 2.6 and newer (https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7552). After installing the brcm47xx image, you will need to execute the following commands while logged into the router over TELNET or SSH:
opkg update opkg install kmod-brcm-wl wlc nas rm /etc/modules.d/*b43*
After rebooting the router, configure wireless as usual, only using the Broadcom driver instead of the b43 driver.
* The Linksys WRT54G 1.1 hardware (4 MB of flash) has trouble with OpenWrt 10.03.1-rc6 and maybe all 10.03 releases as of 2011-12-08. In a test with OpenWrt 10.03.1-rc6, the OS will install but LuCI will be unable to update settings because there isn't enough flash left free.
Testing with the WRT54GL 1.1 (16MB RAM, 4MB flash) showed it can run the following versions:

* 14.07 had slow LuCI web interface, after enabling Wifi, the entire router became inaccessible. A custom cut-down image worked slightly better, but would not let WAN and Wifi work at the same time due to low system RAM. Ref: Forum Thread
As the WRT54GL has only 4Mb flash, any image sent to the device must be 3866624 bytes or smaller.
According to the Linksys WRT54G series, the WRT54G-TM is nothing but a renamed WRT54GS v3.0. Because these models have additional RAM and FLASH they do not suffer from the constraints of the WRT54G and WRT54GL series and can run all versions of OpenWRT as of 11/1/2014. *Tested WRT54GS v3.0 can run bcm47xx-legacy version of OpenWRT 15.05.1 as of Aug 11, 2016.
Please follow the checks_and_troubleshooting guide.

If you forget your password, have broken one of the startup scripts, firewalled yourself out, or corrupted the JFFS2 partition, you can get back in by using OpenWrt's failsafe mode:
* Unplug the power cord, press and hold the reset button, put in the power cord, when DMZ-LED lits up release the reset button. When done right, both Power-LED and DMZ-LED will start blinking. Now you can ping and telnet into 192.168.1.1
The Linksys WRT54G has two buttons. They are Reset and Secure Easy Setup. The buttons can be used with hotplug events. Please see the WiFi toggle Wiki page.
|Secure Easy Setup
To remove the front cover you simply pop the front of the case off after removing the antennas. Please note that this will void the warranty.
Usually there are two screws holding the PCB to the bottom cover, but on some newer versions (e.g. v2.2) there's only a single screw.
The WRT54G/S/L has a 10 pin connection slot on the board called JP1 (JP2 on some v1.1 boards). This slot provides two TTL serial ports at 3.3V. Neither of the ports use hardware flow control, you need to use software flow control instead. Other routers may have similar connections. These two TTL serial ports on the WRT54GL router can be used as standard Serial Ports similar to the serial ports you may have on your PC. In order to do this though you need a line driver chip that can raise the signal levels to RS-232 levels. You can not directly connect a serial port header to the board and expect it to work. That method will only work with devices that can connect to TTL serial ports at 3.3V. Connecting two which have 3.3V directly will work (TX - RX, RX - TX, GND - GND). Standard RS-232 devices cannot be directly connected which accounts for nearly all serial PC devices.
Once the modification is made you can have at most two serial ports to use for connecting devices etc. By default, OpenWrt uses the first serial port to access the built-in serial console on the router. You can connect to it at 115200,8,N,1 using a terminal program like Putty, SecureCRT or minicom for example. This is helpful because if you have problems communicating with your router this method will allow you easy access connecting over a serial console. By default this leaves you with one serial port left, however, there is a method to turn the console off giving you access to both ports if you really need them. It isn't recommended but it can be done.

The GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) lines can be used to add a SD card in SPI mode. Please see the GPIO page in the oldwiki.
To add an SD card with backfire and kernel 2.6, You need to mask GPIO's from b43 module. To achieve it, edit:
vi /etc/modules.d/30-b43
… putting masking just after b43, so content of above file looks like:
b43 gpiomask=0
What's presented above, is a failsafe examaple, that masks *all* GPIO diodes from b43. in reality, You're using only 4 GPIO's, so after ensuring that card work properly, You may tweak gpiomask to mask *only* used GPIO's. For example, value '0x1' disables all diodes except WiFi and power (+ 4 port switch, wchich isn't connected to GPIO at all). After doing that, reboot, and install following packages (install one by one, as for reasons unknown, device does like to crash when provided with many packages to install at once):
opkg install kmod-mmc opkg install kmod-mmc-over-gpio opkg install kmod-mmc-spi opkg install kmod-spi-bitbang opkg install kmod-spi-gpio-old
Then, carefully edit:
vi /etc/config/mmc_over_gpio
…setting 'enable' to "1", and providing GPIO numbers for SD's clock, data-in, data-out and select-chip. Actually, You may use other GPIO's, presented here are just example. This setup, render amber/white SES and DMZ diodes unusable, with the latter, hoever, working properly during boot. You could as good "sacrifice" connection to WiFi and power diodes, in any combination - it's up to You.
Then, just run:
/etc/init.d/mmc_over_gpio start
, and You should see message like one presented below:
root@OpenWrt:~# dmesg|tail <snip> gpio-mmc: MMC-Card "default" attached to GPIO pins di=2, do=4, clk=3, cs=7 mmc_spi spi32766.0: can't change chip-select polarity mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable. mmc0: new SD card on SPI mmcblk0: mmc0:0000 00000 1.88 GiB mmcblk0: p1
You can mount it with
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/
…or, mount it anywhere else, add it to be automatically enabled at startup, do some extroot, etc… There are, literally, gigabytes of possibilities :)
Yes it is possible to add USB ports on WRT54 GSv3/GL, only downside are that it is only USB v 1.1.
So how then? You will need this.
You should also be confident with a soldering iron and basic knowledge with a multimeter will always help.
This circuit also needs 5 volt output which is standard for USB, 5 Volt Regulator. It's recommended to add heatsink to 7805 chip.
USB source soldered:
RH21 = USB1 Data +
RH23 = USB1 Data -
RH25 = USB2 Data +
RH26 = USB2 Data -
When the circuits are done and everything is soldered onto the pcb of the router, it's time to install the software.
opkg update opkg install kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-core
Do not forget to install the filesystem you wish to use. This page has all the extra information needed about USB on this device. usb-drives
External resources and more indepth information. Void Main's WRT54GSv3 USB Mod Linksys WRT54GL ajout de 2 ports USB (french) > translated
(Disclaimer: this has only been tested on WRT54G v1.1 and a WRT54GL v2, it should be the same for other models but I can't be certain. If in doubt check voltages with a multimeter.)
If you've lost your power brick or want to power the WRT54G from an alternate source its possible to solder power cables directly to the power jack connectors. The WRT54G seems to run on anything from 5 to 12 (maybe more) volts. At 5 volts it needs about 800 milliamps, I had thought it might be possible to run it off USB but USB only (officially) supplies 500 milliamps. However, some USB ports will supply 800 milliamps and a lot of USB mains adaptors (e.g. the one for the Amazon Kindle or iPhone) supply 1 amp.
To connect up an alternative power supply, open up the case and locate the small black connector where the power input goes.
You can (as shown in the picture above) desolder the power connector (this took quite a lot of effort and I broke the connector in the process). If you want to keep it just solder to the underside of the board instead, you might need to file away a bit of plastic from the outer casing to make room for the wires.
There are 3 legs to the power connector, each just under 1cm long. The one closest towards the front of the router (the LED side) and running across the router is the positive (red wire in the picture). The one in the middle, running from back to front is the ground (black wire in the picture). Just solder a wire to each of these and connect to your power supply of choice.
If you want to run the WRT54G from USB, cut up a USB cable and solder the black wire to negative and the red wire to the positive. Or you can run it from a PC power supply by getting a male 4 pin molex hard disk power connector (as found on some PC fans or molex splitter/extension cables). Connect the yellow wire (12 volts) to the positive side and one (or both) of the black wires to the ground. Now connect this to a spare hard disk power connector on a PC power supply and your WRT54G will power up.
You can also use a 12 volt lead acid battery (e.g. a car battery) to run the WRT54G. These can peak at around 14 volts when fully charged, but this doesn't seem to cause any problems for the router.
It is possible to install OpenWrt on to your router via the supplied Linksys web GUI. If you are installing OpenWrt for the first time, the easiest way is to use the Linksys web GUI.
luci is also available at http://192.168.1.1 . Telnet is disabled and ssh is enabled once a password has been set.
nvram set boot_wait=on nvram set boot_time=10 nvram set wait_time=10 #important for some models nvram commit && reboot
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm47xx/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx
sysupgrade -n)
Right after flashing at your first login to OpenWrt set the following NVRAM parameters to enable tftpd at bootup:
nvram set boot_wait=on nvram set boot_time=10 nvram set wait_time=10 nvram commit && reboot
NOTE: Do not touch any other NVRAM parameters. NVRAM is only used as environment for the bootloader. OpenWrt ignores NVRAM parameters.
NOTE: On WRT54GL (at least), you should probably use 'wait_time' instead of 'boot_time'. bg300: Added.
NOTE: On WRT54GS v1.1 too you have to use 'wait_time' instead of 'boot_time', anyway if in doubt add both parameters.
Once you have set the NVRAM parameters above it is possible to use a TFTP client to flash OpenWrt. The TFTP method is also the recommended way to restore the original Linksys firmware or switch to other third-party firmwares.
First download a firmware image file ending in ".bin", e.g. openwrt-wrt54g-squashfs.bin.
Then follow the Generic TFTP flashing instructions.
If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
cd /tmp/ wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm47xx/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx # The file must be the trx file. mtd write /tmp/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx linux && reboot
cd /tmp/ wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/brcm47xx/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx # The file must be the trx file. sysupgrade /tmp/openwrt-brcm47xx-squashfs.trx
Feel free to explore the rest of sysupgrade options by typing 'sysupgrade' in the terminal.
The instructions from the Tomato upgrade instructions are confirmed to work with Backfire (10.03.1-rc4, r24045)
After successfully running a late model version of Kamikaze. I had some stability issues decided to go with white russian, I downgraded with the web gui to the latest default version of openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx and got bricked. These instructions are linux specific, if you are running any other OS your mileage may vary.
I was able to get into failsafe mode consistently by hitting the reset button for 2 seconds after the DMZ led lights up.
Unit is now available at 192.168.1.1. If, for any reason (like interface configuration being totally messed up), the WRT doesn't show up on that IP in failsafe mode, see section "Last Resort Recovery" below.
Get the proper code into the tmp directory of your computer, for me this was:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/newest/default/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/people/nbd/nvram-clean.sh
Get the code into the tmp directory of the WRT from the failsafe telnet session and then overwrite the firmware with the new image using mtd.
cd tmp scp email@example.com:/tmp/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx ./ mtd -r write openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx linux
I found that the machine would not reboot itself nor would it reboot using /sbin/reboot. I had to unplug to make it reload. Make sure the commands you have previously typed have finished completely before you pull the juice.
According to Internet sources your WRT may be fixed at this point. Mine still would not come up, it seems that I had some nvram variables mucked up, so back to failsafe again.
It is a good idea to save these just in case you need to refer to anything previously set.
nvram show | sort
I copied the output to my laptop using
cat > nvram-broke
and pasting the output of the "nvram show" command to my terminal.
make sure you got the code by doing:
cat nvram-broke
The cleanup script gets your nvram variables back to a sane state and gets rid of anything not used by OpenWrt.
cd /tmp/ scp email@example.com:/tmp/nvram-clean.sh ./ chmod a+x nvram-clean.sh ./nvram-clean.sh nvram commit
Throw the bones on the floor and reboot. Your WRT should be up and running.
There's something wrong with mac address settings in the default /etc/config/wireless Make sure the mac address line reads the mac you find in /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/macaddress Ref: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7102
If the file system stays in read only mode type
mtd unlock rootfs_data
Put this command in
/etc/init.d/nvram for example, so that it is called on every start up.

aircrack package doesn't fit on the router with the OpenWRT 10.03 Backfire image.
Using the OpenWRT 8.09.2 Kamikaze
aircrack fits, but the
wl package needed as well doesn't. By moving
libcrypto from the aircrack dependency package
libopenssl into the ramdisk (and backlinking into original directory) you can install wl as well, but
airodump freezes on start and causes the router to reset.
So this guide is using Kamikaze 7.09 as latest known OpenWRT version that supports the aircrack suite on WRT54G.
If you already have a (newer) version of OpenWRT installed, the easiest way is using
sysupgrade as described in generic.sysupgrade
Be aware that 7.09 still uses the ipkg package manager, not opkg.
You need the aircrack from whiterussian backports, because there are no aircrack packages available for 7.09 (anymore?). Edit your
/etc/ipkg.conf to look like this:
src release http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.09/brcm-2.4/packages dest root / dest ram /tmp src whiterussian http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/0.9
ipkg update ipkg install aircrack-ng wl
ifconfig should tell you the wifi interface is down (use
ifconfig -a to show down interfaces as well). We use the
wl tool for configuring the wifi to use monitor mode needed for
airodump-ng, not
wl up wl monitor 1
ifconfig -a should show a
prism0 interface.
ifconfig prism0 up airodump-ng prism0
And that's it - airodump should show you networks in range.
For your wardriving purposes, you need to start airodump in background and save IVs to files. Make sure you're not in /tmp (i use / as location) and run airodump like this:
airodump-ng --ivs --write wep prism0 &
Instead of
wep you can use any prefix you like, it is used as a prefix to the files with IVs like
& at the end makes airodump run in the background (it still spams your console with information). You can just close your terminal and abort the telnet session, airodump will still run as long as the router is powered or until you manually stop/kill it.
aircrack-ng to list the networks and number of captured IVs for each:
aircrack-ng *.ivs

Lawyers for the man suspected of killing 12 people in a mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater told a judge Thursday they want the public and the media barred from the entire jury selection process.
Prosecutors agreed that individual questioning of potential jurors should be closed but said the last step should be kept open, when the panel of 12 jurors and 12 alternates will be chosen.
District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. did not say when he would rule on the request.
James Holmes is charged with murder and attempted murder in the July 2012 attack, which also left 70 people wounded. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Jury selection is scheduled to start Oct. 14, and Samour has said it could take up to three months. About 5,000 potential jurors will get a summons, and Samour expects 3,200 to 3,500 to respond.
The trial is expected to take another five months.
Holmes appeared in court Thursday in shackles and red jail clothes. His thick beard had grown back out after he shaved it off late last year. He didn't speak.
Defense attorney Daniel King argued that jury selection should be closed to protect potential jurors from harassment about their answers.
"That's extremely troubling to us," he said. He suggested a redacted transcript could be released after a jury is chosen, with prospective jurors' names blacked out.
Prosecutor Karen Pearson said individual questioning should be closed to prevent potential jurors from learning through media reports what they would be asked.
Steve Zansberg, an attorney representing media organizations including The Associated Press, said outside the hearing that he plans to file a brief next week arguing against closure on First Amendment grounds.
"The First Amendment presumes that all aspects of a trial, including jury selection, are going to be open," he said.
Samour said Holmes could be present during jury selection, except while members of the jury pool are filling out a lengthy questionnaire, when the judge and attorneys will also leave the room.
Prosecutors had objected, saying defense lawyers hadn't cited any legal authority for allowing Holmes to be present.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home this weekend and curse yourself for not buying "Iron Man 2" tickets in advance. Stupid TV. There's no Mickey Rourke with laser whips at home! LET'S GO!
SNL – 11:30PM Saturday (NBC) It's the big Mother's Day show hosted by Betty White and with musical guest Jay-Z. White, as you know, is hosting the show as a result of a massive Facebook campaign to encourage SNL to book her. This is what the Internet is good for: designating random people as suddenly hip and then pushing them back into the mainstream. It's a cute story, except that White has been offered the hosting job at SNL several times and turned it down until she felt compelled by the Facebook campaign to finally relent. Expect 90 minutes of solid old-lady-saying-naughty-things jokes. It never gets old, I tell you. ANTICIPATION: WATCH IT WITH YOUR GRANDMA
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS – 8:00PM Friday (NBC) The most widely acclaimed show on TV survives for another new season and debuts tonight. This could be the last season for FNL. It ALWAYS could be the last season for FNL. But people love it so much, and watching a single episode is enough to make you understand why. I don't watch this show nearly enough, and I feel tremendous guilt over that fact. Ever have those shows you haven't seen for whatever reason and KNOW you should watch but simply haven't had the time to get into? FNL is one of mine. "The Wire" is another. "The Shield" is a third. Ugh, I feel less than human now. ANTICIPATION: WATCH IT OR SOMEONE WILL NAG YOU TO
DEAD CALM – 8:00PM Friday (Weather Channel) What the? When did the Weather Channel start showing movies? What happened to the weather? Does the weather take Friday nights off? Does it go play blackjack in AC? I'm confused. By the way, this movie is awesome and I hope they don't edit out the sex scene. Or, I hope they place a strategic LOVE STORM WATCH graphic on Nicole Kidman's backside. ANTICIPATION: BABIES GOING THRU WINDSHIELDS!
BODACIOUS HOUSES – 10:00PM Friday (Fine Living) Complete with rad patios, gnarly dining alcoves, tubular bedroom chaises, and seven-car garages that are TO THE MAX! GAG ME WITH SPOON! All bodacious homes, I assume, are located in the Valley. ANTICIPATION: SHOWER SCUM IS GRODY!
JESSE STONE: NO REMORSE –9:00PM Sunday (CBS) Tom Selleck and Tom Selleck's mustache return to play Robert B. Parker's detective for another TV movie. Actual TV movies are pretty rare to come across these days, and the Stone ones are reliably entertaining. So tuck in with a bottle of Sunday night wine and watch Selleck grimace his way into your heart. ANTICIPATION: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT'S NOT SET IN HAWAII?
Weekend Watch List: Betty White SNL Night Has Arrived!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home this weekend and curse yourself for not buying "Iron Man 2" tickets in advance. Stupid TV. There's no Mickey Rourke with laser whips at home! LET'S GO!

Sysupdate Required Error
Prior to v3.0, with the atumn and sun domains blocked, the system could be used with online services on non-latest system-versions fine. As of roughly the day following the release of v3.0 however, the system being on >=v3.0 is now enforced via an account-related domain. This affects everything using Nintendo-accounts, regardless of whether the current user has one linked or not.
This also affects launching the WifiWebAuthApplet on pre-v3.0. Error 2110-3400 is thrown while eShop is loading, with the conntest domain setup to trigger the web-applet(originally launching eShop could be used for triggering the WifiWebAuthApplet). When attempting to connect to wifi from System Settings, it will display the "Registration required ..." message then display a separate sysupdate-required message(different from the error message). With the dauth domain blocked, eShop has the same failure, however System Settings will launch the web-applet after it displays the "Registration required ..." message when connecting to wifi.

Daisuke Matsuzaka, Matt Capps stay with Indians
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) -- Daisuke Matsuzaka and Matt Capps are staying with the Cleveland Indians.
The pair agreed to minor league contracts on Tuesday after being released from their previous deals with Cleveland. The Indians used the moves to get around the provision in baseball's labor contract that requires a $100,000 retention bonus if a player is not released by Tuesday or assured in writing of a spot on the opening-day roster or major league disabled list.
The pair will remain in Indians camp until Saturday, then likely will be reassigned to Triple-A Columbus.
Slowed by a strained calf muscle, Matsuzaka appeared in four spring training games and allowed two runs in eight innings.
Capps allowing two runs in six innings over six games. The right-handed reliever is recovering from irritation to his right rotator cuff that put him on the disabled list with the Minnesota Twins last September.

But before you start the online application process, please send an email message to the Professional & Student Chapters Committee to let us know that you are interested in forming a chapter. Then ask yourself these questions:
Starting an ACM SIGGRAPH Professional Chapter: Initial Questions
After considering the initial questions, plan your process carefully.
1. Meet informally with people who are interested in your new chapter. Establishing an initial team will help you not only recruit others to help with chapter formation, but also give you a chance to evaluate people who may become part of the chapter's leadership team. Discussing your vision for the chapter with others – and learning their goals and interests – will help you determine whether there are enough interested people to start (and maintain) a chapter. Keep this process brief (one-three months), so people do not lose interest.
2. Start planning the chapter's first public event. This could be as simple as bringing people together for a discussion about the chapter or it could involve presentations: a speaker from the local area, a screening of local computer graphics work, or a meeting that takes place after another event in your area. Local organizations are often quite willing to help other groups get started by sharing a meeting time. This meeting should be scheduled within the first two months after your informal chapter meetings (Step 1).
3. Identify people who are willing to serve as the core leadership of your group. This nucleus must consist of 10 people who are ready to apply for a chapter charter. The group should designate four acting officers: a president, a vice-president, a secretary, and a treasurer. These interim officers must be members of both ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH. (Once your chapter is formed, your general membership can belong only to your chapter. But the officers of your group must always be members of ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH.)??
4. The proposed leadership group should give some thought to programming plans for the first year of chapter operation. Specific dates are not necessary, but possible topics and presenters, approximate timeframe (for example, late-November, early December or February are okay; the year-end holiday season is not), possible venues, etc. This additional information is not intended to slow things down but rather to get the chapter leadership to think about the activities they organize once they are chartered. Keep it simple for the first year. Chapters are required to produce at least four events a year. Do not overreach by trying to schedule 15 events the first year. This usually has the undesired effect of burning out members who might not be prepared to devote so much time to chapter activities.
5. The core group and its interim officers should complete the online chapter chartering forms. When submitting your petition, please keep in mind that ACM SIGGRAPH requires its chapters to be named for cities or regions, not countries or states. Also, ACM SIGGRAPH requires its chapters to have FOUR officers from the time they are chartered. Please make sure you have four people willing to serve in these officer roles.
To set up a an ACM SIGGRAPH chapter, follow the simple four-step online process at:
Special Interest Group Chapters: Getting Started
When your documents have been approved by both ACM and ACM SIGGRAPH, you will be officially chartered as an ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter.
Responsibilities of a Chapter
There are a number of responsibilities, expectations, and benefits associated with an ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter. Once your chapter has been chartered, you and your leadership will receive full access to the ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter Leaders web site. However, there are some basic responsibilities and expectations you should be aware of even before you get chartered:
- A chapter must hold a minimum of four meetings per year to be considered active.
- A chapter is required to set up AND maintain a chapter web site.
- Each chapter is expected to stay in regular contact with the Chapters Committee Chair via e-mail or phone.
- Each chapter must complete and return the ACM Annual Report.
- Each chapter is required to establish and maintain a current chapter profile through the ACM Chapter Administrative Interface.
- Each chapter is expected to add their leadership volunteers to the chapter-leaders mailing list.
- Chapters must publicize ACM SIGGRAPH and ACM events.

Research Spotlight on Recruiting & Retaining a Highly Qualified, Diverse Teaching Workforce
NEA Reviews of the Research on Best Practices in Education
Over the next decade, schools in the United States will need to hire many new teachers. Four factors will affect the recruitment of these teachers:
- A shrinking teaching force
- A growing student population
- A lack of diversity among teachers to match the diversity of students
- A need for teachers in specific types of schools, geographic locations, and subject areas
In addition to recruiting new teachers, schools will also need to look at the retention of teachers already in the workforce and understand the reasons teachers leave. Some sources estimate that 50 percent of the teachers currently in our classrooms will either retire or leave the profession over the next five to seven years. The statistics for teacher turnover among new teachers are startling. Some 20 percent of all new hires leave the classroom within three years. In urban districts, the numbers are worse. Close to 50 percent of newcomers leave the profession during their first five years of teaching. See The High Cost of Teacher Turnover (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 2007)
The problem of a dwindling teacher population will be compounded by the growing student population as well as the movement toward progressively smaller class sizes.
Filling the ranks of teachers also will require recruiting teachers for difficult-to-fill schools, particularly in urban and rural areas. Finding teachers for selected subject areas and for certain geographic regions. And encouraging more minorities to become teachers, as insufficient numbers of them are currently entering the profession.
With 40 percent minority students and 5 percent minority teachers predicted for 2010, a critical shortage of educators and role models who reflect their race and ethnicity may be at hand. This shortage could lead to a failure of all American students to acquire the academic, personal, and social skills they need in a multicultural society.
NEA believes that strong programs of teacher recruitment are necessary to maintain and enhance the teaching profession. These programs should emphasize the recruitment of underrepresented candidates and should include a policy of affirmative recruitment (NEA Handbook, 2008, Resolution D-2).
Resolving the teacher shortage is not strictly a numbers game. Much has been said about the need to bring more young people into the teaching profession, but too little attention has been paid to holding onto the quality teachers already hired -- both beginning teachers as well as more experienced ones.
NEA believes that retaining these teachers in our classrooms requires giving them adequate preparation, support, leadership, and autonomy as well as compensation that reflects their professional stature.
Here are some related articles and research on recruitment and retention:
- Eight Questions on Teacher Recruitment and Retention: What Does the Research Say? (Education Commission of the States, 2005) ( PDF)
This article focuses on the characteristics of schools and districts that are most likely to be successful in recruiting and retaining a highly qualified and diverse teaching workforce.
- Instructional Leadership and Monitoring: Increasing Teacher Intent To Stay Through Socialization (National Association of Secondary School Principals: NASSP Bulletin, 2006)
This study examines principal monitoring and beginning teachers' experiences through interviews. The findings indicate that socializing into an ineffective school will lead to ineffective instructional practices, thus setting up new teachers for failure.
- A Possible Dream: Retaining California Teachers So All Students Learn (California State University 2007)
This report contends that unless California understands and addresses the problem of teacher attrition and turnover, thousands of additional students in the coming years will continue to enter classrooms without qualified and experienced teachers to instruct them.
- Teacher Recruitment and Retention: A Review of the Recent Empirical Literature (American Educational Research Association, 2006) ( PDF)
This article critically reviews the recent empirical literature on teacher recruitment and retention published in the United States. It examines the characteristics of individuals who enter and remain in the profession.

9:30 Magatha Trysty: It's been a kick watching this indie rock quartet's progress since I first saw them at an IPO - Chicago show a few years back. Magatha Trysty's sound is fueled by the dynamic tandem vocals of keyboards player Catherine Louise and guitarist Chris Bevard and taps into vintage new wave on songs like "Clairvoyant" and "Art Zero." The group's Your Clothes Will Wear Themselves came in at number 4 on my Top Releases Of 2012 list, and they're currently working on a follow-up that Bevard tells me will be even better.
10:15 Semi Twang: This critically-acclaimed Milwaukee band has been performing country/alternative music since 1985. Lead vocalist John Sieger is a prolific songwriter whose compositions have been covered by The BoDeans, Robbie Fulks, Dwight Yoakam and others.
11:00 The Pounders: IPO founder David Bash recommends this Detroit band to people who like "high energy pop with a dash of jangle." Their influences includes Elvis Costello, The Who, Burt Bacharach, and Radiohead. The Pounders released the full-length CD You And What Army, featuring the singles "Please Operator" and "The Latest Fashion" in 2011.
11:45 The Romeros Charismatic lead vocalist-guitarist Mike Vanderbilt performed a solo IPO-Chicago gig a few nights back, and he returns tonight with his garage rock band The Romeros. This marks the 10th year they'll be gracing IPO - Chicago with energetic songs like "You Got Me" and "Brand New Girl" from their two CDs. A fitting act to bring this annual festival to a rollicking finale.

Bridgeport teen charged after threatening shooting spree at Central High School
BRIDGEPOR T-- Bridgeport police have charged a city teenager with threatening to go on a shooting spree at Central High School.
Police say the 16-year-old student posted the threat on Facebook, saying that he was going to kill fellow students and that he was serious. A police SWAT team raided the teen's home Wednesday night and arrested him, a few hours after authorities say they learned about the threat from school officials.
Officers say they didn't find any weapons in the boy's home.
Parents of students at the school said they were surprised and shocked by news of the threat, especially after last month's school massacre in Newtown where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed.
Police didn't release the teen's name because of juvenile offender laws. He's charged with first-degree threatening.

State rejects petition to ban use of dogs in bear hunting
The Nevada Wildlife Commission on Friday rejected a petition to ban the use of dogs for hunting bears.
Commissioners, meeting in Las Vegas, voted against accepting a petition filed by six conservation and animal rights organizations including NoBearHuntNV, Nevada Political Action for Animals, Humane Society of the United States, ASPCA, Nevada Humane Society and the Bear League.
A statewide survey conducted in January 2011 by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research, Inc. showed that only 29 percent of Nevadans supported the practice of using dogs to hunt bears, while 57 percent disapproved.
"The commission's decision not to hear legitimate arguments on an issue opposed by the majority of Nevadans demonstrates why legislative change to reconfigure the Wildlife Commission is needed in order to give fair representation to all Nevadans.," said Kathryn Bricker, executive director of No Bear Hunt NV.
Voting against hearing the petition were sportsmen's representatives Commissioners Jeremy Drew, Michael McBeath, Scott Raine and Bill Young, ranching representative Peter Mori and farming representative Grant Wallace.
Supporting the petition was recent appointee, public representative Dr. Karen Layne and conservation representative David McNinch.
