Delta Air Lines has announced that it will cut back its flying more than initially planned as about 2,000 employees have taken voluntary buyouts. The carrier is reducing expenses to cover persistently high fuel costs, which increased $1 billion compared with costs last year, an increase of around 39%. Richard Anderson, CEO of Delta, said the carrier plans to order new planes only as replacements for older models.

Q:Ok, so I'm a young guy and by Christmas I'll have a .22 and camo, florescent orange, etc. Nobody in my family that lives near me hunts AT ALL. Because of this, I'm planning on hunting small game (squirrel and rabbit) just because it seems to be the most basic type of hunting. I live in South Eastern PA by the way. What are the basic and most important things I should know before I go out? All answers are appreciated.

Q:Do you recommend being stationary or moving when hunting squirrel?
from ryenhaney on 12.11.131 answers
Q:So, after shooting a squirrel twice while small game hunting, I walked up on what I thought was the dead body of the squirrel, I picked it up and the stupid son of a brick bit me. I promptly threw the squirrel against a tree and shot it again, blowing it to pieces. So, out of curiosity, has anyone else had a similar stituation occur?

Duduá |
About Duduá, some history:
In August 2006 I opened a store and art gallery called Duduá.
Duduá was a craft store and art gallery where you could find handmade items by artists from all around the world. It was the place to pick up a crocheted donut, a local fanzine, records from independent Spanish music labels or hand screenprinted t-shirts.
I also organised workshop for adults and kids, acoustic music shows and other events.
The store was located downtown in Barcelona.
In December 2009 I closed Dudua.
In June 2010 I opened a new space downtown. It was not a store anymore, it was a space for workshops and exhibitions.
In May 2011 I moved to the gallery of Cosmo, my favorite coffe place in Barcelona located in c/enric granados 3, where I organize craft workshops every week.

Dudua is alive!

2010 NHL Free Agents
Follow all of the Free Agency action in the 2010 off season. The Sharks have signed Goaltender Antero Nittymaki, resigned Defender Jay Leach, and they have made an offer on Niklas Hjalmarsson, which the Blackhawks have matched.
But what doesn't make sense is that the Blackhawks traded Byfuglien and Versteeg just to qualify for their salary cap for the 2010-2011 season, but how could they match a 4 year-$14million contract? They must have a big trade in the works.

Nike Air Max 1 Premium – Grey – Red – Black
December 30th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 8 comments
The whole split-midsole coloring for the Nike Air Max 1 is a trend that Nike Sportswear isn't looking to let go of anytime soon. Shown here is another pair that bisects the bottom in terms of color, this one wearing white on the front end and red on the back end. Elsewhere the sneaker is a pretty muted affair thanks to the combination of grey suede and ripstop up top and the rather nondescript black Swoosh cutting across the side. Take a better look at these subtle Air Max 1s with us below and register your two cents on them down in the comments.

| Windows Taskbar jump lists, thumbnails not working I was given a new Windows 7 laptop at work today. Came with Hope Premium. Performed an Anytime Upgrade to Professional. I've discovered that the taskbar is not working properly, and I don't know if it's a problem with the taskbar, or aero. 1. Can't move/rearrange shortcuts on the taskbar, even when the taskbar is NOT locked. 2. Left-click & Drag-up for Jump Lists does not work properly. The jump list appears, but as soon as I move the cursor off the shortcut, the jump list disappears. (Right-click on short cut does make jump list work) 3. When more than one instance of a program is running (ie. Windows Explorer), and I hover over the shortcut on the taskbar to see the open window thumbnails, Ican not move the cursor to select the window I want. Instead, like with jump lists, as soon as I move the cursor off the shortcut, the thumbnails disappear. I have tried rebooting, and hard booting. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Has anyone seen a solution? |

IMF response
Category: General
Read (1571)
The new vision of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) - to be in a more effective position to attend to global post-crisis challenges - may not impact equally on all its 186 member countries, as they have been hit by the crisis in various ways and may require varying recovery response, said Samir Gadio, an economist and finance analyst at Renaissance Capital, an international finance firm. Mr. Gadio said some of the IMF's member countries like Nigeria suffered domestic financial issues and that the international fund may have to fine-tune policies while dealing with member countries individually. In the case of Nigeria, the crisis is not really integrated into the economy in terms of financial leakages.
The financial risks and issues in Nigeria are more of domestic than international, mainly because the banks had their capital eroded," he told NEXT in Lagos on Wednesday. "Even in the worst stage of the crisis, Nigeria had about $42 billion in the foreign reserves. It was only marginal, it didn't really change the entire picture of the state of the Nigerian economy.
It is true that Nigeria got about $500 million from the World Bank, but these amounts are very marginal, because Nigeria as a country does not depend on foreign inflows. So, 98 percent of the budget is based on domestic inflows (oil and non-oil revenues), unlike some countries in Africa, where you have 80 percent of their budgets are funded by foreign donors.
So, at this point, I don't think these approaches would really apply to Nigeria," Mr. Gadio argued. Re-tooling visionDominique Strauss-Kahn, the Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, said the body is exploring a renewed vision that would enable it become more effective in meeting the challenges its 186 members are facing in this post- crisis era. He said this at the Bretton Woods Committee Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. last week in a speech posted on the IMF's website, adding that the vision is timely to meet the future role of the fund."Today, as the global community slowly emerges from the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression, and as we work to shape the post-crisis world, it is timely that we meet to discuss the future role of the Fund."
A turning point
Stating that the world is at a turning point, the IMF Chief said, "The crisis has put at risk so much of what we have all worked for: less poverty; more prosperity for all; a better, safer world. During the crisis, the Fund responded to the deteriorating situation; we made the case for coordinated policy stimulus, and put forward our concerns about the health of major banks. "We supported the global policy response, led by the G-20, with our monitoring and analysis.
We rapidly reformed our lending instruments and boosted our resources, making available a record amount of Fund support.Despite aids given globally, the IMF management believes that they can still build on this positive momentum: to transform the Fund into an institution, even better equipped to meet the challenges of the post-crisis era."It's a new IMF, but still the IMF. This objective remains as current today as it was at the IMF's creation in 1944. That was the genius of Keynes, White and the other original visionaries. I see three priorities.
First, a central lesson of the crisis has been that surveillance for crisis prevention needs to be much more rigorous-with greater coverage of the financial sector and regulatory issues, and better appreciation of systemic risks."Second, if the Fund is to serve as a reliable provider of crisis financing, our lending for crisis response must be of a speed, coverage and size far beyond previous assumptions. And finally, we must do more to strengthen the long-term stability of the international monetary system-in particular by bolstering the stability of reserves," he said.
Domestic economy
The Nigerian Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its meeting early in the week, reviewed domestic economic conditions for the first two months of 2010 and the challenges faced by the economy against the backdrop of developments in the international economic and financial environments.
The committee noted that the rebound in global economic activity, which started in the second half of 2009, has continued. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Central Bank Governor, said key concerns, however, remain the strength and sustainability of the recovery process which is proceeding at varying speeds across the different regions.
"In the advanced economies, the recovery is still expected to be weak by historical standards, with real output projected to remain below its pre-crisis level until late 2011. Given their stronger initial economic conditions and swift policy responses, growth in the emerging and developing economies is expected to recover faster," he said.
Going forward
The IMF chief stated that the first priority would be on crisis prevention."We need to improve our oversight of systemic and financial risks. For this reason, there may be a need for a clearer mandate to pursue risks to global economic and - I stress - financial stability." He said the Fund will also need to focus on crisis response,"It is critical that a multilateral institution be ready to answer the call.
In this context, we are currently exploring various options-including for short-term, multi-country credit lines that the Fund might extend in a systemic crisis."The third area of the Funds mandate review is the stability of the international monetary system.

Twenty years had passed since the Gulf Asteroid Event and it was time for Cel to have a new king and queen. Voting had been changed and the voters could now vote for all three candidates but needed to put them in order of preference, five points for first, three for second, one for third.
The voting privilege had been expanded to include all the women that had given birth to the children of any Peer as well as those children over the age of sixteen. Officials with the rank of Baron and above were also allowed to vote. Eligible voters had been nearly three hundred.
The only one surprised that Marc had won the election was Marc. He won with an average of four point eight-eight. The only ballot to list him third was his. He had three times the number of first place votes than the next highest candidate, which was Jim. Marc and Natalia opted to stay in their own compound instead of moving to Jordan and Carmen's place.
All the Cel colonies had elections too and the only ones not re-elected were the ones that chose not to run. All the newly elected leaders were taken to Cel for their induction ceremony and to be proclaimed Baron or Baroness unless like Sara they already had a higher title. The leader of the nearby Asian state was the only other Countess. She had two sets of twins from Lord Hu.
All the colonies were self-sufficient by then and trade between them and Cel was brisk. Before the induction ceremony each colony cemented trade agreements with each other and Cel.
During his ceremonial speech Marc proclaimed each colony a state in the nation of Cel and their new leader the governor of that state and each governor would be a member of the royal council
He also granted each state the opportunity to secede one hundred years after the Gulf Asteroid and every election one hundred years thereafter. He decreed that from that day on elections for King and Queen would occur every ten years instead of twenty and all other political office elections would be every five years. Like King and Queen no one would serve consecutive terms.
He told the entire planet he was proud of how their leaders had handled the negotiations and had given concessions to the few colonies still trying to catch up.
He also said that the entire planet was now one nation and hoped it would stay that way forever.
All on the stage were very gratified by the support his decrees had received. Some of the Peer had reservations but none were on the decrees but on announcing them in public. Natalia had convinced her husband that anything he said would be received well by the entire planet; he had everyone's confidence.
Marc had to work hard to convince the others to reduce the length of the time served as sovereign but he had Jordan's opinion that twenty years was way too long on his side, the job had become boring to him. Carmen did not disagree with him although everyone knew she had loved being queen.
The Planetary Ambassadors to the Federation were present for the ceremonies and Protectors Grandma and Grandpa were there too as was Clara but no one else knew the Emperor was there until Marc had yielded the podium to him. All the aliens bowed to him and soon all the humans did too then cheered. All could see he was happy with his reception.
He had come to Earth to elevate Natalia and Marc to Queen and King but had agreed to their request to make that part a private ceremony.
He told the citizens of Earth that he was proud to have had a hand in helping the people of Earth through their ordeal. He was proud that a race of violent people had become friends to all. He was proud that they accepted all beings with equal affection.
He added, "I am saddened by the resignation of your Ambassador to Akkad, she has decided she wanted to come home. She will be replaced as Ambassador by your former king and queen Jordan and Carmen." The Emperor waited for the applause to die down then continued. "Cel will now have an Ambassador from Akkad. Many of you know her already, her name is Ahn."
Spontaneous cheers by all again interrupted him. He was very pleased to see that. Her mother and father were very surprised then very, very proud. Ahn was giggling through tears, so was Ashel.
The Emperor then announced, "The Sprite Ashel, the Kindred Rah, and the Devil Sehel have also been appointed as their planets ambassadors to Cel and will all reside in the former royal compound. You will soon be meeting their staff, please make them welcome."
Loud cheers were heard again as each new ambassador to Earth was introduced.
The Emperor continued, "The Federation Ambassadors and I will be visiting every state over the next thirty days before we return to Akkad and set a date for your admittance to the Federation. Your governors have been expecting us and have prepared proper housing for us but we prefer all citizens continue with their normal routine during our visit. Again, congratulations to all of you."
He received a thunderous roar as he stepped back then took a young ladies hand and walked off the stage. The Ambassadors followed him out.
Natalia waited for the ovation to stop and said, "If you are wondering who the young woman with him is she is his daughter and our future Empress, Ohme. We do urge you to go about your normal life when they are around but he and we understand he will be treated with utmost courtesy and respect, but please show you like him first. Remember he saved our lives.
Also, it will be OK to treat Clara as the goddess she is to us. Make her happy to be home."
Clara stood and walked to her and swatted her butt then returned to her seat with an angelic smile.
Natalia waited for the laughter to ebb then continued. "The King and I have decided to split our duties, he will handle all national and interstellar affairs and I will handle Cel. Governors please note you contact him first. His contact number is now on your communicators as is the number of the Commerce Department chief Lord Jim, as is the number for tourism Lady Akira.
We intend to make this a rich planet and a popular planet to visit, there are hundreds of aliens here now and so far they like us, please keep it that way.
We have decided to shorten the calendar year by four days. The planets rotation and revolution periods have not settled yet and it may be thousands of years before they do so we have decided that each equinox does not count as a day and the day after that does not count either. They will be holidays and on the calendars those days will simply be marked E.
Solstice in the northern hemisphere will now signal the New Year and it will also be a celebration day. Everyone has adjusted to the ten-day week and the ten-month year so only our historians have to bother with the historical calendars.
The historians have been debating over when humans became civilized. The dawn of agriculture, trade, birth of towns, the establishment of the first empires, and the invention of beer or wine have been suggested. We have decided that ten thousand years ago would do just fine and have amended the date accordingly. This is day one of month five of the year ten thousand and twenty. The first party days arrive in two weeks."
Cheers greeted that announcement.
"Lady Moesha has a few words," Natalia said.
"As you know we have now placed health workers in each state. Some of you have asked for your citizens to be trained too since actual doctors are few and far between. I am happy to announce that classes in medical training will begin at Cel University sixty days from now. Each of the states may send up to their five best candidates to our academy each year. They will return to you as full medical personnel in two years.
At that rate we should be able to keep up with population growth. We leave it up to you on how to select the candidates but as always they need to be fluent in Mandarin, Spanish, and English. Lady Akira has a few words."
"As you know I am now heading the Tourism Department. Any ideas on projects that would attract tourists to your regions need to be sent to me. The projects may be of any size but please keep in mind that big projects mean lots of accommodations will be needed and you will need to build those first.
If you have decided to concentrate on Akkad, Devil, Sprite, Kindred or other people as your principal guests please tell us and we will send an engineer from those planets to you to help with your planning. We also have classes in Kindred and Devil and some Akkad translators. I suggest each state appoint its own tourism chief and come up with a plan for your state. The king has some final words."
"Like the Emperor we are pleased with how the catastrophe has played out. Everyone on the planet is a friend of everyone on the planet. We help each other succeed. The Queen and I promise we will make sure that continues. Congratulations to the new governors and congratulations to all."
Marc left the stage and it was immediately filled with Melody's band that now consisted of the children and spouses of the original band members, two blondes, one brunette and six redheads. A rock concert ensued.
Most decided it was the happiest day on Planet Earth ever.
The Emperor and the Federation Ambassadors toured the colonies acting like they were just tourists. They stayed at the Asian State for three days, and in Darren just one. Those were the largest and smallest populated states.
It turned out the barren island that the Asian refugees had been relocated to really had been Tahiti. The island had since been terraced and its main products were rice and tea. Fish farms were common. The state name remained Tahiti.
Darren remained the best wine state on the planet but also had the best coffee and cocoa beans although the Island of Fortuna grew the most of each. Fortuna was one of the islands originally part of New Guinea.
To the astonishment of all a neighboring island's high forest was coming back. King Jordan had immediately quarantined the island and seeded it with life forms from its original fauna. The only human habitation on the island was the ranger station compound. The Emperor and the Kindred Ambassador spent a night there.
The Emperor and the Ambassadors liked all the states including those with no extraterrestrial presence. The people of those states just stared at them with awe; many had not seen an alien in person. However all the humans the Ambassadors met said welcome and thank you.
Grandma and Grandpa stayed in Felicity that month and visited and fucked with their many friends. Neither expected to return to Earth in their lifetimes, they expected to cease to be in less than fifty years.
During the ceremony of departure none would give a hint of how long it would take to be admitted into the Federation but the Protectors seemed to think it would be no more than one hundred years in the future.
It took just another ten years.

Ferrum Ecotourism Students Travel
North to Alaska
Ecotourism is the business of sustainable travel to natural and scenic destinations in every corner of the world. For Ferrum College students, this course of study supports environmental and cultural conservation while encouraging local economic development. Along with helping to create economic opportunities for local communities, an integral aspect is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency and water conservation.
Sustainable travel is the fastest-growing segment in today's tourism industry. Prime destinations include areas where plants, animals and cultural heritage are the main attractions, fostering a greater appreciation of our natural habitats.
In 2012, participants in the Ferrum College Ecotourism course spent two weeks experiencing the depth and complexity of cultural aspects of Alaska, including the Gold Rush era, Native American culture and the vast wilderness of the Alaska that is considered the last true wilderness of America.
Sites included in past courses include Costa Rica and New Zealand. Plans are now under way for a study of the culture and archeological sites in Peru and the Andes during 2013. For more information, you may contact Jasmine Goodnow, Assistant Professor of Recreation Leadership in the Ferrum College School of Social Sciences & Professional Studies.

In Support of Bob Dylan's Super Bowl Commercial.
Last night, I heard someone venting his frustration about Bob Dylan "selling out" by appearing in a Chrysler commercial during the Super Bowl. He was upset because the iconic Dylan had "tried to sell me a Chrysler with tinted windows and electric seats." He felt it was the last straw, the last gasp of something that was finally imploding into pure "consumerism."
I didn't see it that way, though. As someone who has spent the last decade fighting to save U.S. manufacturing, and the good jobs that come with it, I was instead grateful that Dylan was taking a stand in favor of Detroit and its struggling workers.
No doubt, the Chrysler commercial is sleek and well-produced, with a great folk-rock backbeat for its soundtrack. And Dylan appears very "cool" in the ad, clad in a black leather coat, walking the streets, shooting pool in a corner bar. But what comes through quite clearly (to me, at least), is Dylan standing up for America's workers.
A quick check of his voiceover reveals what's really on his mind:
"You can't import original…You can't duplicate legacy…Detroit made cars, and cars made America…You can't import the heart and soul of every man and woman working on the line."
It's important to remember that Dylan was born in Duluth, Minnesota. He's a Midwesterner. He understands the importance of the local factory in one's home economy. It's quite possible that Dylan has trekked home to Minnesota and been very troubled by what's he's seen, namely one in four factory jobs disappearing since 2000.
And then there's Michigan, where the collapse of Detroit has left one in eight residents dependent on food stamps. And let's not even talk about Detroit, once the jewel of American industry, now bankrupt.
When I see Bob Dylan praising American ingenuity, and reminding Super Bowl viewers that the nation's auto workers put their heart and sweat into the cars they make, I say, good for him. Let's help these people to keep their jobs.
Dylan is in fact being absolutely consistent with his past commitment to America's working men and women. It was Dylan's comment at Live Aid in favor of America's hard-pressed farmers ("I hope that some of the money…maybe they can just take a little bit of it…and use it, say, to pay the mortgages on some of the farms and, the farmers here, owe to the banks…") that sparked the eventual creation of Farm Aid.
So, good for Dylan when he urges support for America's auto workers, particularly in his closing statement:
"Let Germany brew your beer, let Switzerland make your watch, let Asia assemble your phone. We will build your car."
It's a deal that we need to make. Yes, your iPhone is being assembled in China. But why can't America retain some stake in the global pie, something that our workers can build with ingenuity and pride? I salute Dylan's proposition, and America's manufacturers and their workers undoubtedly do, too.

I prefer the WeatherTech ad
I prefer the WeatherTech ad #youcantdothat. We can bring manufacturing back to America. Not just cars. But phones, tv's, textiles, cabinets, steel, etc.
Your failed blog post about Bob Dylan
I am the songwriter the blogger(scapazzola) is disagreeing with.
1) I did not use the term "selling out."
2) Your implication is that this commercial was altruistic, which is obviously false.
3) Chrysler is wholly owned subsidiary of the Italian multinational automaker Fiat S.p.A. Enough said.
4) You didn't mention how funny it was when I suggested Mr. Dylan will next sing "Tangled Up In Blue Cheese Doritos."
But thanks for listening,

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers were missing Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. The Washington Wizards won the game.
Tread carefully around Randy Wittman when trying to connect those two thoughts.
''Hey, listen, we played enough games this year without players,'' the Wizards coach said. ''Don't give me the (bull) about who was here and who wasn't here. ... You guys would have printed it a wholly different other way if we had lost. ... Now you're going to print, 'Ah, you won because Blake didn't play.' Give me a break.''
To be fair, the outburst was more playful than angry, but the point is well-taken. The Wizards will happily take Monday night's 98-90 win — or any victory for that matter — in a season that was essentially wrecked from the get-go in part because of injuries to John Wall and Nene.
Now it's the Clippers who are close to falling off the rails, having lost seven of nine — including six of eight without Paul. Los Angeles is 1-3 halfway through an eight-game road trip and has fallen 4½ games off the Western Conference lead.
''It's frustrating because we're giving back a lot of what we had built up earlier in the season,'' Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. ''But you can't control the injuries, you can't control the schedule, you can't control so many guys being out.''
Paul missed his eighth consecutive game and 11th of the last 13 with a bruised right kneecap, while Griffin's streak of 197 consecutive games played ended when he was a last-minute scratch with a strained left hamstring.
''We were walking out (to the court) and he was walking in,'' Del Negro said.
Del Negro said he knew the hamstring had been bothering Griffin, who leads the Clippers in scoring and rebounding with 18.5 points and 8.6 boards per game. The coach declined to speculate when Griffin would return. The road trip continues against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
''We'll see how he feels tomorrow,'' Del Negro said.
Griffin had started every game since he essentially became an NBA player at the start of the 2010 season, having sat out in 2009-10 with a knee injury after he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Clippers.
Nevertheless, his teammates were in the game until a spate of turnovers and a pair of offensive rebounds by Wizards forward Nene spurred a 7-0 run by Washington late in the fourth quarter.
''When you're a championship-level team, you have high expectations,'' said Jamal Crawford, who scored 28 points to lead the Clippers. ''And we do, no matter who's in and who's out. Obviously we're missing some of our better players, but no excuse.''
Martell Webster scored 21 points, Nene and Garrett Temple had 15 points apiece, Emeka Okafor grabbed 14 rebounds, and Wall had 13 points and eight assists for the Wizards, who broke a four-game losing streak and moved a game ahead of the league-worst Charlotte Bobcats.
DeAndre Jordan had a career-high 22 rebounds for the Clippers. Eric Bledsoe, going toe-to-toe with Wall in a duel between former Kentucky teammates, had 17 points and nine assists.
The game turned when Nene grabbed a high-bouncing rebound off of his own missed free throw to set up a 3-pointer by Trevor Ariza, then corralled another offensive board on the next possession and fed Temple for a jump shot that gave the Wizards an 87-79 lead with 3:53 remaining.
Still, the finish was too close for comfort for Wittman, especially after the Wizards had scored 51 points in the first half.
''It wasn't all artistic for us,'' Wittman said. ''We still had ups and downs from an offensive standpoint. ... We seem to forget how we scored the 51. If my forehead's red, (it's from) banging the wall.''
Notes: The Clippers committed eight of their 20 turnovers in the fourth quarter. ... Griffin's consecutive games streak was tied for second with Houston Rockets center Omer Asik among active players. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook played in his 360th straight game Monday night. ... The Wizards snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Clippers. ... Washington played its fourth consecutive game without rookie G Bradley Beal (sprained right wrist). ... Del Negro said he hopes to have both Paul and Chauncey Billups (left foot) back before the end of the road trip. He said Billups is on pace to return before Paul. ''That's the plan right now,'' Del Negro said. ''But a lot of the plans haven't worked out the way we wanted with some of the injuries.''

6) Also added the method to fix Error 0x80010009 in CFWs sharing the same keys (from 4.21 to 4.41) when a executable is greater than that of CFW. In this case, I made a custom implementation code from ITA PS3 Team:
The games and updates are patched to use "Check Files" option (Test Game) that in my opinion, is the right choice for this
Instead of using fixed offsets to read the version, its taken from the SELF / SPRX header offset to prevent a possible change in position of the data (which would leave the executable unusable) and simplify the routine, which will serve to all executables.
Instead of patching to version 3.41 which can lead to confusion and perhaps create problems in the future, we patching the same version of the detected CFW. This way, it always informs a compatible version with the same keys.
It manages all file errors that may occur.
7) Using Sandungas suggestion, it uses / dev_hdd0/GAMES/covers and / dev_hdd0/GAMEZ/covers as potential places to find cover art to avoid duplication of data between Iris and Multiman. Iris will not look for covers on external drives because the process will be slow and complicated and we can all easily copy (using the File Manager) content to the internal disk.
Media ID on BD
In anticipation of a possible check BD Media ID (Export 0xEF666B52 in liblv2 and syscall 879) has been carried out for inclusion in the payload Disc emulate Less.
To get it you need to be in "With BDVD Controller" (With BDVD Controller) and insert the disk after running Iris Manager. Failure to do so, the syscall return Error 0x80010005 and it will not be possible to obtain the ID. Press SELECT on the disc icon, we see in the options "BD ID: XX XX ..." in blue because it is a Bluray disc and yellow when it comes to a game on the hard drive to recover the information.
My original disk MGS4 seems to not have BD Media ID and returns all data to 0 and error 0x80010006: This will be the default mode of operation of the emulation, then possibly some old games lack it.
When you insert a disc, you create a file in / dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER4/config containing the ID and extension. Did. For example, for Kill 00081.did BCES-Zone 2, which is used as temporary store ID.
Later when launching the game dede hard disk (internal or external), or entering their options with SELECT, Disc-Less mode that ID is taken and stored in the file BDMEDIA_ID in your root directory (for example, in my If, on / dev_hdd0/GAMES/Killzone2/BDMEDIA_ID) and stored by the syscall function 7 in the payload 40 to be used from the syscall 879.
In short: if the BD Media ID is 16 bytes to 0, it will return the ID and error 0x80010006. If by syscall 40 keep an ID function 7 average, returned the ID without error.
Thus, if a game is to check if it is running from the original disk using that facility, will give you the correct ID and avoid problems.

Following up on the
update, today PlayStation 3 developers
have updated the PS3 backup game manager known as Iris Manager to version 2.70 followed by v2.70-1 and v2.70-2 and v2.70-3 by
with the changes detailed below.
Iris Manager v2.70 for v4.XX PS3 CFW
(Mirror) /
(Mirror) /
To quote, roughly translated:
What's new in version 2.70:
Added 'Mamba' support for CFW 4.46 (non Cobra) and 4.53 (Habib)
'Mamba' is a version of the Cobra payload (stage2) that can be launched from the Iris Manager itself to support ISOs, PS3 games and some of the features of Cobra payload (load plugins internally, it ignores the list) but does not support the PSP and PS2 emulators.
'Mamba' is not exclusive to a possible CFW + Cobra: Cobra detects f there is a Cobra payload loaded and is inhibited in that case. It can also be differentiated by sys8_mamba ( ) (if returned 0x666, is Mamba).
Fixed some minor bugs (file sizes shown on Archive Manager and a forgotten BDVD unmounting /mounting).
For Developers
The 'Mamba ' source code adapted with a minimal compiler for PS3 (Everything else, use my PSL1GHT build environment, well known), can be downloaded from this link: mods.elotrolado.net/~hermes/ps3/mamba_v1.0.rar
Please remember to publish the changes and/or additions you make, so that everyone can work from that base.
on IrisMAN v2.70-1:
Changelog 2.70-1:
Added all the changes from Iris Manager 2.70, including the 'Mamba' payload from Iris Manager 2.70 to support ISOs on CFW 4.53 & 4.46 non-cobra and the fixes for PS2 games
Added option to game scanning on /host_root and /dev_hdd0/video (for users using m@tsumoto's stealth version of multiMAN)
Fixed display of JPG/PNG on File Manager when grid 4x6 or 6x8 is selected.
Fixed the auto-mount of NTFS drives on File Manager
Changelog 2.70-2:
Changed file icons in File Manager.
Fixed icon display for ISOs in grid 4x6 and 6x8.
Minor changes in hex editor.
Moved blinking FTP icon.
Changelog 2.70-3:
Changed icons for PSX isos & PS2 isos
Fixed error when the launching mounted PS2 isos on Cobra
Added scan of /PSXISO to the game list.
Added option to launch ISOs stored in /PSXISO from File Manager
Fixed issue with game options menu of PS2 ISOS
Removed faulty date from Coverflow screen

Following up on the
updates, today PlayStation 3 developers
have updated the PS3 backup game manager known as Iris Manager to version 2.65 followed by IrisMAN 2.65-2 (Mod) by
with the changes detailed below.
Iris Manager v2.65 for v4.XX PS3 CFW
Iris Manager v2.65 for v4.XX PS3 CFW
(Mirror) /
To quote, roughly translated:
What's new in version 2.65:
Added supports for CFW 4.50 DEX and 4.53.
Added tools to create, extract and patch ISOs (Error 0x80010009) from PC (with source code and can be compiled at least from MinGW and Cygwin).
Added the ability to create, copy, delete ISOs (except in EXTx ) and extract ISOs from Iris Manager.
Added Error 0x80010009 fix for updates and ISOs (except EXTx) from the "Check Files" option.
New rawseciso (source code included in the. rar) with some bugs fixes and improvements against errors (even allows disconnect/reconnect the device), and includes support for HDD0, USB00X through a new mode (see launch_iso_game () in Iris Manager source code) and a mixed mode file/list of sectors for the Build ISO (see launch_iso_build () in Iris Manager source code).
In Archive Manager now supports Build ISO in all devices (FAT32/NTFS/EXTx) and detects extensions .mkv, .avi, .mp4, .ogm, .mpg as multimedia video files to launch "Showtime".
Now the current game is saved to return to that game during the game refresh and the last game launched to show when connect the device that contains it.
Added exception in the Archive Manager to detect if an ISO launched from a "BD ISO" folder is taken as Bluray Video.
Fixed several bugs like filenames too long in Archive Manager and added other small details and optimizations (such as now when a device with NTFS/EXTx partitions is detected, the USB icon appears blue during the waiting time before mounting.
Cobra Mode
Cobra mode only activates when Iris Manager is configured in *Payload without Disk* and syscall 8 de cobra in 4.46 is detected. In the mode is not necessary to patch explore_plugin.srpx but could be neccesary to patch libfs.sprx.
Supported Features
From NTFS, EXTx, /dev_hdd0, /dev_usb00x. drive:
PS3 games ISOS:
You can find them in folder "/PS3ISO". ICON.PNG you wil see it from the ISO itself but you can use a .PNG (wide) image or .JPG (stretched) with the same name of the ISO like a external caratule. That same caratule (i will have to fix this...) (The ones from Multiman with Titled ID). You could use splitted ISOS (if you need it) with the following extension: name.iso.0, name.iso.1,... name.iso.9 (2048 bytes/sector). ISOS can be inside /PS3ISO.
ISOS from DVD:
You can perform this only from "Archive Manager" (default mode). ISOS could be splited (if you need this) with the following extension: name.iso.0, name.iso.1,... name.iso.9 (2048 bytes/sector)
ISOS from Blu-ray:
Only from "Archive Manager" (Autodected of UDF by default, all in the same folder BDISO). ISOS could be splitted (if you need this) with the following extensions: name.iso.0, name.iso.1,... name.iso.9 (2048 bytes/sector)
From /dev_hdd0, /dev_usb00x drive:
PS3 games with scrambled files: Same mode with, Cobra's mount.
PS1 ISOS: Uses Iris manager support.
From /dev_hdd0 drive:
CD (without audio tracks and only ISO of 2048 bytes/sector) and DVD (2048 bytes/sector). Not supported USB flashdrives in this mode. ISOS could be inside /PS2ISO folder.
From any NTFS and EXTx drive and in Archive Manager:
From ANY device:
PS3 ISOS, BD and DVD from any folder. Using Autodetect.
Dinamic creation of ISOS:
Select one file, push SELECT and use "Build ISO from file" option to go back to XMB with Data DVD, ISO.
Dinamic creation of ISOS, with Showtime launch:
Select and push X over a file extension .avi, mp4 or .mkv (I created a DVD ISO of 32 GB). If Showtime is already installed this will execute automatically, select Bluray drive and done. (Showtime is slow to recognize and then play that file, but then plays faster)
Note about dinamic creation:
The trick is to create a small file in HDD0 with the name "iris_manager.biso" which contains ISO information and then add data sectos from the file.
Note on ISOS: It's VERY IMPORTANT that those files not be FRAGMENTED to avoid problems.
Archive Manager:
Has certain capacity to detect ISOS to mount them from any folder (avoid using PS1 ISOS), Creating ISOS dynamically, having only one file (SELECT and "Build ISO from files) or just executing from Showtime with files .avi, .mp4, .mpg, .ogm y .mkv. ISOS must be 2048bytes/sector and have .ISO extension or if it's fragmented in many parts, use extensions like: .iso.0, .iso.1.... .iso.9...
Options of ISOS in the GUI:
If you push SELECT we can select an ISO as favourite or unmount if it's NTFS or EXTx.
PS3 favorites are taken as preference to show them/execute them to /dev_hdd0, then ISOS and last /dex_usb00x
We can create, copy, delete and extact ISOS, we can patch them (except in EXTx) via "Checking files" depends disposible options for each game.
PSP games: No support.
Creating PS3 games ISOS:
From Iris manager, the last new tool *makeps3iso* (included in the .RAR files as PC ps3iso utilities (with src).zip or with Cobra ODE tool. You can do this from scrambled files: http://www.cobra-ode.com/downloads/Cobra_ODE_GenPS3iso_v2.1.rar
NOTE: Is recommended to use patchps3iso with the latest version of your CFW, then create the ISO in your PC. This will modity PARAM.SFO and SELF/SPRX in case of this you need it.
Some examples:
patchps3iso my_iso.iso 4.46 -> Just for one file.
patchps3iso my_iso.iso.0 4.46 -> for split ISOS
Finally, from
New in 2.65-1:
Added most (if not all) the features of Iris Manager 2.65, not annoying ads,
Display of file sizes in File Manager,
Added support for SITE MMQUIT in FTP to quit to XMB using my FTP Client,
Cobra plugins are not unloaded unless you hold X when the manager starts.
New in 2.65-2:
Fixed label for Build ISO menu.
Menu now use for: O = Cancel, X = Accept, /\ = No.
Added ability to abort in the "calc_entries" stage of the build ISO process

6. "Stoney End" (studio album, 1971)
"Stoney End" was another success for Barbra Streisand, crossing over into then-current pop styles. This time, she inhabited the world of singer-songwriters, trying on a sort of hippie sensibility. Tackling great songs by such greats as Laura Nyro, Dusty Springfield, Gordon Lightfoot and Randy Newman, Streisand's approach was to emulate the style of the original version. If these tracks individually lack the authenticity of prior recordings, collectively they make for a cohesive listening experience that takes the listener on moving journey through the sounds and themes of the early 1970s. Of course, too, the Streisand voice is a welcome addition to this music.

Activation of Human Liver Glycogen Phosphorylase by Alteration of the Secondary Structure and Packing of the Catalytic Core
Molecular Cell, Volume 6, Issue 1, 1 July 2000, Pages 139-148
Virginia L. Rath, Mark Ammirati, Peter K. LeMotte, Kimberly F. Fennell, Mahmoud N. Mansour, Dennis E. Danley, Thomas R. Hynes, Gayle K. Schulte, David J. Wasilko and Jayvardhan Pandit
SummaryGlycogen phosphorylases catalyze the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate, which enters glycolysis to fulfill the energetic requirements of the organism. Maintaining control of blood glucose levels is critical in minimizing the debilitating effects of diabetes, making liver glycogen phosphorylase a potential therapeutic target. To support inhibitor design, we determined the crystal structures of the active and inactive forms of human liver glycogen phosphorylase a. During activation, forty residues of the catalytic site undergo order/disorder transitions, changes in secondary structure, or packing to reorganize the catalytic site for substrate binding and catalysis. Knowing the inactive and active conformations of the liver enzyme and how each differs from its counterpart in muscle phosphorylase provides the basis for designing inhibitors that bind preferentially to the inactive conformation of the liver isozyme.

Distinct phosphorylation signals converge at the catalytic center in glycogen phosphorylases
Structure, Volume 5, Issue 11, 15 November 1997, Pages 1511-1523
Kai Lin, Peter K Hwang and Robert J Fletterick
SummaryBackground: Glycogen phosphorylases (GPs) catalyze the conversion of the storage form of carbohydrate (glycogen) to the readily usable form (glucose-1-phosphate) to provide cellular energy. Members of this enzyme family have evolved diverse regulatory mechanisms that control a conserved catalytic function. The mammalian and yeast GPs are expressed as inactive forms requiring phosphorylation for activation. Phosphorylation of yeast GP occurs at a distinct site from that of mammalian GP. This work addresses the structural basis by which distinct activation signals relay to the conserved catalytic site in yeast and mammalian GPs. Such knowledge may help understand the principles by which diverse biological regulation evolves.Results: We have compared the crystal structures of the unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of yeast GP and propose a relay which links phosphorylation to enzyme activation. Structural components along the activation relay becomes more conserved within the GP family downstream along the relay, towards the catalytic center. Despite distinct upstream activation signals, a response element downstream of the relay leading to the catalytic center is conserved in all GPs. The response element consists of ten hydrophobic residues dispersed over two subunits of the homodimer. Phosphorylation induces hydrophobic condensation of these residues via structural rearrangement, which triggers conformation change of the active site GATE loop, leading to enzyme activation.Conclusions: Members of the GP family with diverse activation mechanisms have evolved from a constitutively active ancestral enzyme which has the TOWER hydrophobic response element in the active position. Diverse regulation evolved as a result of evolutionary constraint on the downstream response element in the active state, coupled with flexibility and variability in elements of the upstream relays.

The structure of glycogen phosphorylase b with an alkyldihydropyridine-dicarboxylic acid compound, a novel and potent inhibitor
Structure, Volume 5, Issue 11, 15 November 1997, Pages 1413-1425

SummaryBackground: In muscle and liver, glycogen concentrations are regulated by the reciprocal activities of glycogen phosphorylase (GP) and glycogen synthase. An alkyl-dihydropyridine-dicarboxylic acid has been found to be a potent inhibitor of GP, and as such has potential to contribute to the regulation of glycogen metabolism in the non-insulin-dependent diabetes diseased state. The inhibitor has no structural similarity to the natural regulators of GP. We have carried out structural studies in order to elucidate the mechanism of inhibition.Results: Kinetic studies with rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (GPb) show that the compound (–)(S)-3-isopropyl 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-1-ethyl-2-methyl-pyridine-3,5,6-tricarboxylate (Bay W1807) has a Ki = 1.6 nM and is a competitive inhibitor with respect to AMP. The structure of the cocrystallised GPb–W1807 complex has been determined at 100K to 2.3 Å resolution and refined to an R factor of 0.198 (Rfree = 0.287). W1807 binds at the GPb allosteric effector site, the site which binds AMP, glucose-6-phosphate and a number of other phosphorylated ligands, and induces conformational changes that are characteristic of those observed with the naturally occurring allosteric inhibitor, glucose-6-phosphate. The dihydropyridine-5,6-dicarboxylate groups mimic the phosphate group of ligands that bind to the allosteric site and contact three arginine residues.Conclusions: The high affinity of W1807 for GP appears to arise from the numerous nonpolar interactions made between the ligand and the protein. Its potency as an inhibitor results from the induced conformational changes that lock the enzyme in a conformation known as the T′ state. Allosteric enzymes, such as GP, offer a new strategy for structure-based drug design in which the allosteric site can be exploited. The results reported here may have important implications in the design of new therapeutic compounds.

The evolution of an allosteric site in phosphorylase

- Background: Glycogen phosphorylases consist of a conserved catalytic core onto which different regulatory sites are added. By comparing the structures of isozymes, we hope to understand the structural principles of allosteric regulation in this family of enzymes. Here, we focus on the differences in the glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) binding sites of two isozymes.Results We have refined the structure of Glc-6-P inhibited yeast phosphorylase b to 2.6 å and compared it with known structures of muscle phosphorylase. Glc-6-P binds in a novel way, interacting with a distinct set of secondary elements. Structural links connecting the Glc-6-P binding sites and catalytic sites are conserved, although the specific contacts are not.Conclusion Our comparison reveals that the Glc-6-P binding site was modified over the course of evolution from yeast to vertebrates to become a bi-functional switch. The additional ability of muscle phosphorylase to be activated by AMP required the recruitment of structural elements into the binding site and sequence changes to create a binding subsite for adenine, whilst maintaining links to the catalytic site.
