CLUELESS at the Prompt
If you are familiar with that other windowing system, you may be aware of the concept of multitasking. Using a single computer to do several applications at once is a highly desirable trait for an operating system (OS).
It's fairly obvious how to accomplish this in a windowing environment, but not so obvious at the shell prompt. Here are some of the details.
When you start a program at the shell prompt, you can stop it by typing:
which returns you to the shell prompt. Then type:
bgand the program or job is restarted in the (b)ack(g)round. A job can also be put in the background from the beginning by typing an ampersand (&) at the end of the command, e.g., make filename&. Running your job in the background allows you to run another job at the same time without changing to a different virtual console (VC). The job can be brought back to the (f)ore(g)round by typing: fg, if its the only background job, or fg jobno, if there is more than one.
You can change to a different VC by using the Alt-F2 (through F6) command. Each one of these can also be used in the manner that I have described, to the extent that you can easily run out of resources in a fit of deep-hack-mode euphoria, if you aren't careful. If you get really exuberant, you could even forget which jobs you have running. Relax, you can "remember" them by typing:
This command lists all jobs running in the background, much like the ps command lists all processes that are currently using up your precious memory and CPU.
When you boot up Linux, your file system or rather your hard drive must be mounted, so that the file system can be read and acted on. Your floppy drive, tape backup or CD-ROM cannot be automatically mounted, so you may need the mount utility. For example:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mntmounts your floppy drive (called a: by DOS) to a directory called /mnt from which you can access files on floppy disks. In the first example, the /mnt directory can be read into the ext2 file system, while the second reads floppies written in MS-DOS format. To read the contents of the floppy drive, which is now /mnt you can type:
cd /mntthen, ls or less filename.
In a similar manner, you can mount your other floppy drives, tape drives, CD-ROMs or other read/write devices. These devices can be unmounted using the command:
umount /dev/fd0
or umount /dev/whateveryoumounted<\n>.
Here are a few tips that can make your Linux life a little easier.
Suppose you make a typo in your command that you don't catch until after you press enter. If the environment variable FCEDIT is set to emacs (default for the bash shell), you can correct it without retyping the whole command by tapping the up arrow key to bring back the previous command for editing with emacs. In fact, you can use the up arrow key to go up through the history file and the down arrow to come back down if you go too far. If FCEDIT is set to vi (default for the ksh shell), press ESC (escape key) then use k to go up the history file and j to go down, and of course, use vi to edit the faulty command.
To change back to a directory you have just left or to scan subdirectories, use:
c -
in the following manner. Change from your /home directory to the main trunk directory:
cd /then, to look at the top level of each directory, for instance, type:
cd usrthen ls. If you didn't find what you were looking for, type:
cd -
and you will find yourself at the trunk / again. Unfortunately, you can only go one layer deep, but it is still useful when you install a source package and want to check out the contents of each of the subdirectories.
Sometimes, at least at first, you may not know how to stop a program or process that's running, but you are unwilling to let it slowly eat up your memory or CPU overhead. To get rid of it, first find its pid (process identification) number by typing:
ps -a
to get a list of all running processes. Make note of the pid number and type:
killThere is another way to do this that is actually easier. Browse through the LSM (Linux Software Map) for a utility, actually a nicety, called die-1.1. You can unpack this utility into a directory or use installpkg dopkg or whatever your single package installation utility is. Then look for the /die-1.1 and cd to it. This directory contains a couple of files: a source file called die11.c and a documentation file called die.doc.
Assuming that you have installed the GCC compiler, just type:
gcc -o die die11.c
hit ENTER, and presto, you've compiled the die utility. Just mv it to a directory in your path, and if you like, mv the die .doc to /usr/doc or somewhere it can be with other help text friends (but not man pages, they'll pick on it unmercifully). Now, next time you're in a quandary about how to gun down a process just type:
dieand it will do the deed without having to look up the pid number. To find out more about die just type:
diewith no argument and it will give you a summary of the commands you can try the up arrow keys on.

CS-PAM®: Crucial Insights into Clinician Perspectives
The widely held Chronic Care Model (CCM) views an activated patient as essential to better care and better health. The CCM encourages productive interactions between informed, activated patients and prepared, proactive practice teams. Here, patients and clinicians bring equally important, complementary skills and knowledge to their working relationship. Other popular models find patient self-management important as well, including the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). The ability to measure a clinician's belief in patient self-management is clearly helpful, as is the measurement of patient's self-management ability.
The Clinician Activation Measure® (CS-PAM®), adapted from the Patient Activation Measure® (PAM®), assesses a clinician's beliefs about patient self-management. Research shows the CS-PAM to be a reliable measurement tool that can assess and differentiate clinicians on their beliefs and attitudes about the importance of patient self-management competencies and behaviors.
Clinicians more supportive of patient activation have shown to translate this belief system into their clinical work (example below). Research has also shown CS-PAM scores to associate to PAM scores.
The insight gained from a CS-PAM can be used to identify training opportunities and to help develop a more patient-centric health practice.

Per Katie Strang, defenseman Michael Del Zotto will be returning to the lineup tomorrow night in Dallas. Del Zotto had been a healthy scratch for the past three games. The Rangers went 1-2 in that span, scoring just two goals (both on the powerplay) while allowing three goals.
Justin Falk, who had been replacing Del Zotto in the lineup, could be the odd-man out tomorrow. Per Strang, AV is unsure if he will sit Falk or John Moore.

The problem has happened in the past, but I never really paid attention because the pictures were never this tall. Should I call AT&T? Can they fix it on their end?
Posted 30 November 2012 - 02:13
They might. I had some billing issues recently and they took 675$ off. My bill is normally 120$, and I got the bill this month for 790$ due to changing my phone and cancelling a line that was under 'Buyers Remorse' still.
Even if they could, I doubt they would. The only time I've ever had this issue was when I was trying to send an extremely large image. I ended up resizing it and then sending it. Have someone send you the original image and see what happens. Preferably one of the folks you're trying to send it to.

The company is pleased to report that the combination of its low costs and the continued strength of the gold price resulted in New Gold delivering shareholders a margin of over $1,100 per ounce for the first time in the company's history.Third Quarter 2012 HighlightsNew Afton successfully transitioned into production, achieving full mill design throughput of 11,000 tonnes per day over one month ahead of scheduleGold production increased by 16% to 104,577 ounces from 90,384 ounces in the same period of the prior yearTotal cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, of $443 per ounce were $85 per ounce below the same period of the prior year and well below industry averageAdjusted net earnings of $43 million, or $0.09 per shareCash generated from operations before working capital changes(2) increased to $91 million from $80 million in the same period of the prior yearCompleted Blackwater Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") with the following highlights:Start of production targeted for 2017Initial 15-year mine life with additional 1.4 years of processing stockpiles at end of pit lifeLife-of-mine strip ratio of 2.36 to 1.00 of waste to mineralized materialFirst five years - average annual gold production of 569,000 ounces at total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, of $467 per ounceSpot Case (as at September 20th) - After-tax 5% NPV of $2.8 billion, IRR of 25.8% and payback of 2.7 years, at prices of $1,775 per ounce gold, $34.50 per ounce silver and a parity US$/CDN$ foreign exchange rateDuring the quarter, earnings from mine operations were $77 million, net earnings were $18 million, or $0.04 per share, and adjusted net earnings were $43 million, or $0.09 per share. Cash generated from operations before working capital changes(2) increased by 13% to $91 million. Beyond the strong operating performance, the third quarter included three significant milestones for the company's growth assets. New Afton achieved commercial production, defined as 60% of the 11,000 tonne per day design capacity, on July 31st, ahead of its August target. On September 20th, the company announced the results of its PEA for the Blackwater Project, further establishing Blackwater as the company's flagship asset. After its successful production start, the New Afton mill achieved full design capacity on September 21st, over one month ahead of schedule, as an average of 11,000 tonnes per day were processed in the preceding 30 day period. "Our company had another strong quarter. To see our operations perform well, New Afton successfully transition into production and Blackwater's expected impact on our future growth is very gratifying and a testament to our teams," stated Randall Oliphant, Executive Chairman.The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability."The third quarter saw us deliver on our key objectives," added Mr. Oliphant. "The performance of our portfolio of producing assets was, once again, solid. New Afton continuing its successful start-up further establishes our company's near-term production and cash flow growth potential. Finally, the completion of the Blackwater PEA outlines just how impactful that great project should be on the future our company."Operations OverviewNew Gold 2012 Third Quarter Consolidated - Summary Operational Results Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 20122011 20122011Gold Production (thousand ounces) Mesquite 32.2 31.8 112.8 114.4Cerro San Pedro 34.5 34.3 105.4 109.6Peak Mines 23.9 24.4 66.7 62.5New Afton 14.0 - 14.0 -Total Gold Production 104.6 90.4 299.0 286.5 Total Gold Sales 95.2 93.0 285.8 292.3Average realized gold price ($ per ounce) $1,560 $1,570 $1,540 $1,430 Silver Production (thousand ounces) Cerro San Pedro 488.3 380.6 1,537.2 1,536.3 Total Silver Sales 492.3 379.6 1,506.1 1,567.8Average realized silver price ($ per ounce) $30.09 $37.71 $30.32 $36.25 Copper Production (million pounds) Peak Mines 3.1 2.6 10.8 9.4New Afton 11.1 - 11.1 -Total Copper Production 14.2 2.6 21.9 9.4 Total Copper Sales 9.2 4.9 15.9 12.4Average realized copper price ($ per pound) $3.69 $3.39 $3.60 $3.84 Total Cash Costs(1) - net of by-product sales ($ per ounce) Mesquite $722 $732 $664 $628Cerro San Pedro $218 $193 $205 $73Peak Mines $796 $715 $772 $580New Afton ($955)- ($955)-Total Cash Costs(1) - net of by-product sales $443 $528 $486 $409 Average realized margin ($ per ounce) $1,117 $1,042 $1,054 $1,021 Gold Production and SalesConsolidated gold production during the third quarter increased by 16% over the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the successful start of production at New Afton. Gold production at the company's other three producing assets was consistent with the same period of the prior year. The increase in gold sales was not as significant as that of gold production as New Afton's pre-commercial production during the month of July was offset against the project's capital costs. In addition, a portion of New Afton's production remained in inventory at the end of the quarter due to the timing of concentrate sales.The increase in gold production for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was also primarily attributable to the production start at New Afton, as an increase in production at the Peak Mines largely offset small decreases at Mesquite and Cerro San Pedro. The difference in gold sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is due to a combination of the above noted New Afton pre-commercial production not being reflected in sales as well as timing of gold sales and related inventory movements at Cerro San Pedro, Peak Mines and New Afton.Silver Production and SalesDuring the third quarter, silver production at Cerro San Pedro increased by 28% when compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase in production was attributable to higher grade silver being placed on the leach pad in the second quarter of 2012, the production benefit of which was primarily seen in the third quarter due to timing of silver leach recoveries.For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, silver production was consistent with that of the prior year period as the impact of fewer ore tonnes being placed on the leach pad was offset by the mining of higher grade silver. The minor differences in silver sales during both comparative periods are a result of timing of silver sales and related inventory movements.Copper Production and SalesConsolidated copper production during the third quarter increased significantly to 14 million pounds from three million pounds in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the successful start of production at New Afton, though the Peak Mines also increased copper production by 20% during the quarter. The increased production at Peak was due to a combination of increased ore tonnes milled, continued recovery improvements and higher copper grades. Copper sales increased by 89% during the quarter. Copper sales were below production as New Afton's pre-commercial production during the month of July was offset against the project's capital costs rather than attributed to sales. In addition, a portion of New Afton's production remained in inventory at the end of the quarter due to the timing of concentrate sales.For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, copper production increased by 133% when compared to the same period of the prior year, with the increase attributable to the New Afton start-up and increases in the Peak Mines' throughput, copper grades and recoveries. Copper sales were up 28%, however, below copper production levels as noted above.Total Cash Costs(1) per Ounce Sold - Net of By-Product Sales Total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, remained well below the industry average during the third quarter of 2012 at $443 per ounce. The company was able to reduce its total cash costs(1) by $85 per ounce when compared to the same period of the prior year and $29 per ounce when compared to the second quarter of 2012. The fourth quarter of 2012 should show further decreases in total cash costs(1) as the company begins to realize the full benefit of New Afton's production. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, costs were higher than the prior year period as increases in operating costs and lower silver by-product revenues were only partially offset by higher copper by-product revenues and favourable movements in foreign exchange rates.Mesquite - Total cash costs(1) per ounce sold during the quarter remained consistent when compared to the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, costs increased slightly as the 2011 period benefitted from the mining of ore above reserve grade due to mine sequencing.Cerro San Pedro - Total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, remained among the lowest in the industry, despite a slight increase over the same period of the prior year. The lower realized silver price was offset by higher silver sales volumes at Cerro San Pedro resulting in similar by-product revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the increase in costs when compared to the record 2011 period is attributable to an $11 million decrease in silver by-product revenue primarily due to lower realized silver prices. The lower silver by-product revenue accounts for approximately $75 per ounce of the increase in costs, with the balance of the difference due to mining of slightly lower grade ore and general input cost increases.Peak Mines - Total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, for the quarter increased when compared to the same period of the prior year due to an $80 per ounce decrease in copper by-product revenue. The decrease in copper sales volumes during the quarter, due to a significant inventory reduction in 2011, was only partially offset by the increased average realized copper price. During 2012, copper production and sales have been broadly consistent, while 2011 copper sales were higher due to sales of Peak's concentrate inventory. Quarter-over-quarter increases in operating costs were offset by the depreciation of the Australian dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the increase in costs when compared to 2011 is due to a $175 per ounce decrease in copper by-product revenue, due to lower copper sales volumes and realized prices, as well as general operating cost pressures in Australia. These increases were only partially offset by the mining of higher grade ore and the depreciation of the Australian dollar.New Afton - As New Afton achieved commercial production in July 2012 and does not have a comparable prior year period, New Gold provides an overview of the New Afton start-up separately below.After providing shareholders with an average realized margin of over $1,000 per ounce in 2011 as well as in the first and second quarters of 2012, New Gold is proud to have further increased its margin to over $1,100 per ounce in the third quarter for the first time in the company's history. Importantly, with the continued strength of commodity prices and expected lower future cash costs, New Gold anticipates further margin expansion in the fourth quarter of 2012 and into 2013. New Gold remains well positioned to achieve its production and cost guidance for the year.New Afton Start-UpAfter starting production on June 28, 2012, New Afton successfully achieved commercial production, ahead of schedule, on July 31st. Commercial production is defined as 30 days of operation at an average of 60% of the 11,000 tonne per day design capacity, or 6,600 tonnes per day. New Afton achieved an additional milestone on September 21st as the mill achieved a 30-day average at the design capacity of 11,000 tonnes per day. The company has been pleased with the mill throughput as the New Afton mill achieved full production over one month ahead of its November target.Grades in the first three months of production at New Afton averaged 0.67 grams per tonne gold and 0.72% copper. During the startup phase of the mill, the company processed ore with gold grade consistent with reserve grade and copper grade below reserve grade. The ore processed during the quarter was sourced from a combination of the surface stockpile and underground. With the mill achieving design capacity on September 21st, the company looks forward to moving into higher grade areas. Gold and copper grades in the first half of October have averaged 0.79 grams per tonne gold and 0.77% copper.Recoveries in the first three months of production have been in line with the company's forecasts averaging 76% for gold and 81% for copper. With the addition of a Knelson concentrator and flash flotation units in September, recoveries continue to increase. Gold and copper recoveries in the month of September were 82 and 83%, respectively and have continued to improve through October. New Gold continues to optimize the milling circuit and anticipates life-of-mine recoveries at New Afton to be in the 88 to 90% range, consistent with the project's latest technical report.New Afton's operating costs have met the company's expectations during the start-up phase. Operating costs during the quarter, including mining, processing and general and administrative costs, have averaged approximately $20 per tonne. As the mill achieved full throughput in late September and both grades and recoveries are anticipated to increase, total cash costs(1) are expected to decline in future periods. The co-product total cash costs(1) during New Afton's first three months of production were $729 per ounce gold and $1.87 per pound copper.New Afton's capital expenditures during the third quarter totaled $82 million, net of $8 million in pre-commercial production sales. Of the $82 million, $35 million was spent in advance of New Afton reaching commercial production and $47 was post the July 31st commercial production announcement. New Afton's total project development capital to achieve commercial production was $793 million.New Gold's exploration team commenced drilling of the C-zone block of mineralization that lies below and to the side of the New Afton reserve block at the beginning of the third quarter. There are two drills actively exploring the zone in an effort to add to the mine's base 12 year life. New Gold has budgeted $5 million for this exploration at New Afton in the second half of 2012."Our mines continued to perform well during the quarter and I am proud of our operating team's desire to look for ways to continually improve results," stated Robert Gallagher, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As New Afton moved from development into production we are able to successfully leverage the best practices used at our other operations. Similarly, as Blackwater moves through the development phase we can draw on the collective experience of having successfully brought Cerro San Pedro, Mesquite and New Afton into production over the last five years."Consolidated Financial Results Overview New Gold 2012 Third Quarter Consolidated - Summary Financial Results Three months ended Nine months endedFigures in US$ millions, except per share amounts September 30, September 30, 20122011 20122011 Revenue 195.5 175.5 540.4 518.3 Earnings from Mine Operations Mesquite 12.7 13.7 58.3 57.7Cerro San Pedro 41.1 45.2 122.5 135.1Peak Mines 15.1 17.1 42.2 47.2New Afton 8.4 - 8.4 -Earnings from Mine Operations 77.3 76.0 231.4 240.0 Net Earnings 17.8 40.7 75.1 144.0Net Earnings per Share 0.04 0.09 0.16 0.34Adjusted Net Earnings(3) 42.6 49.5 133.5 145.6Adjusted Net Earnings per Share(3) 0.09 0.11 0.29 0.34 Cash Generated from Operations before Working Capital(2)90.6 80.3 253.2 255.8Pre-tax Cash Generated from Operations 67.1 93.0 205.3 240.8Net Cash Generated from Operations 46.7 70.7 129.6 163.7 Revenue increased by 11% during the third quarter through a combination of increased sales volumes of gold, silver and copper as well as higher realized copper prices. These increases were partially offset by lower realized gold and silver prices. Earnings from mine operations remained consistent when compared to the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of a $14 million increase in depreciation and depletion largely due to New Afton's commercial production start.Net earnings in the third quarter of 2012 were $18 million, or $0.04 per share. Net earnings were negatively impacted by a $9 million non-cash tax expense related to an increase in the Chilean prescribed tax rate from 17 to 20%, as well as a $9 million non-cash loss related to the mark-to-market of the conversion option of the company's convertible debentures. Adjusted net earnings were $43 million, or $0.09 per share. Net earnings have been adjusted and tax effected for the group of costs in "Other gains (losses)" on the condensed consolidated income statement as well as the increase in income tax expense related to the change in the Chilean tax rate. See notes at the end of the news release for a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings(3).Cash generated from operations before working capital(2) increased by 13% during the third quarter driven by a combination of higher gold sales and lower costs. Pre-tax cash generated from operations in the third quarter was $67 million, which included a $24 million working capital use of cash. $15 million was related to a New Afton concentrate sale receivable where funds were not collected prior to the quarter end. The $15 million payment was received in early October. Pre-tax cash generated from operations in the prior year period benefitted from $13 million in positive working capital, primarily related to significant inventory sales at the Peak Mines during the third quarter of 2011. In total, the relative working capital movements resulted in a $36 million difference when comparing pre-tax cash generated from operations in the third quarters of 2012 and 2011. Net cash generated from operations during the third quarter was $47 million and was similarly impacted by the $15 million in New Afton receivables.For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenue increased by 4%, while earnings from mine operations were down slightly when compared to the same period of the prior year as operating costs and depreciation increased by 6% and 32%, respectively. The increase in depreciation is primarily attributable to the start of commercial production at New Afton.Net earnings in the first nine months of 2012 were $75 million, or $0.16 per share. Adjusted net earnings were $134 million, or $0.29 per share.Cash generated from operations before working capital(2) in the first nine months of 2012 was consistent with that of the same period of the prior year. Pre-tax cash generated from operations and net cash generated from operations were $205 million and $130 million, respectively. Both pre-tax and net cash generated from operations were negatively impacted by a $48 million working capital use of cash.Balance SheetAs at September 30, 2012, the key components of New Gold's consolidated statements of financial position included:Cash and cash equivalents of $148 millionConsolidated debt of $398 million, including:7% senior notes of $292 million due in 20205% convertible debenture of $49 million (face value of C$55 million) due in 2014 with a conversion price of C$9.35El Morro funding loans of $56 millionBasic shares outstanding - 463 millionAs a result of the company's strong share price performance, on October 11th, the company announced the early redemption of its outstanding 5% subordinated convertible debentures due June 28, 2014. The redemption of any outstanding debentures will take place on November 20, 2012 and will eliminate the company's requirement to repay C$55 million with cash in mid-2014, as well as the interest payments that would have been incurred in the period between redemption and June 28, 2014.Development UpdateBlackwater PEA Outlines Project with Over 500,000 Ounces of Production Annually at Below Average Costs On September 20th, the company released the PEA for the Blackwater Project, further demonstrating the significant impact the project should have on the company's gold production and cash flow growth. Over the initial 15 years of its mine life, Blackwater is estimated to produce an annual average of 507,000 ounces of gold and 2,039,000 ounces of silver at total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, of $536 per ounce. At assumed gold and silver prices of $1,275 and $22.50 per ounce and a 0.94 US$/CDN$ foreign exchange rate, the project is expected to yield a base case after-tax, 5% net present value ("NPV") of $1.1 billion and an after-tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 14.0%. At commodity prices of $1,775 per ounce gold and $34.50 per ounce silver on September 20, 2012, the day of the PEA announcement, and a parity exchange rate, the after-tax, 5% NPV and IRR move to $2.8 billion and 25.8%, respectively. All NPV calculations are calculated to the beginning of the construction period in 2015.The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA based on these mineral resources will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The PEA resource is based on drill results up to mid-May 2012. Since then, New Gold's exploration program has continued apace and the company looks forward to incorporating these additional results in the project's Feasibility Study scheduled for completion in 2013. Beyond the primary Blackwater deposit that forms the basis of the PEA, the company's total land package is now over 1,000 square kilometres. New Gold looks forward to continuing its exploration efforts within and around the Capoose gold-silver deposit, located approximately 25 kilometres from Blackwater, as well as the multiple exploration targets that have been identified through New Gold's 2012 property-wide reconnaissance program. The company has now completed its infill drilling program at Blackwater and plans to focus its attention on the recently identified northwest silver zone. At Capoose, results from this year's drilling are starting to be received with assays highlighting mineralization both within and outside of the boundaries of the previously identified Capoose mineral resource. Beyond Blackwater and Capoose, New Gold continues to evaluate four new targets on its broader land package that were identified through its regional reconnaissance program. During the third quarter, the company drilled 352 holes totaling 81,250 metres at Blackwater and an additional 22 holes totaling 10,984 metres at Capoose. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company has completed 723 holes totaling 215,459 metres.Blackwater PEA HighlightsConventional truck and shovel open pit mine with 60,000 tonne per day ("tpd") whole ore leach process plantStart of production targeted for 2017Initial 15-year mine life with additional 1.4 years of processing stockpiles at end of pit lifeLife-of-mine strip ratio of 2.36 to 1.00 of waste to mineralized materialLife-of-mine gold and silver recoveries of 87% and 53%, respectivelyLife-of-mine gold and silver production, inclusive of stockpiles, of 6.2 and 18.6 million ounces from the Indicated category and 1.8 and 13.5 million ounces from the Inferred category, respectivelyDevelopment capital costs of $1.8 billion inclusive of 24%, or $346 million, contingencyHigher grade initial five years resulting in accelerated payback of capital costsFirst five years - average annual gold production of 569,000 ounces at total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, of $467 per ounceBase Case - After-tax 5% NPV of $1.1 billion, IRR of 14.0% and payback of 4.8 years, at $1,275 per ounce gold, $22.50 per ounce silver and a 0.94 US$/CDN$ foreign exchange rateSpot Case (as at September 20th) - After-tax 5% NPV of $2.8 billion, IRR of 25.8% and payback of 2.7 years, at prices of $1,775 per ounce gold, $34.50 per ounce silver and a parity US$/CDN$ foreign exchange rateTotal capital spending at Blackwater, including exploration and infrastructure-related expenditures, in the third quarter of 2012 was $36 million. The total capital spending for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $93 million.The Project Description for Blackwater has been successfully submitted. As a result, Blackwater has now commenced the federal and provincial environmental assessment process. The company looks forward to advancing its permitting efforts through the remainder of 2012 and into 2013.Focus Remains on Working with Stakeholders after Temporary Suspension of Environmental Permit at El MorroEl Morro is an advanced stage, world-class copper/gold project in northern Chile. Two principal zones of gold-copper mineralization have been identified to date - the El Morro and La Fortuna zones - and several additional targets have been identified as part of a regional exploration program. Future exploration efforts will also test the potential bulk-mineable gold and copper production below the bottom of the current La Fortuna open pit. Based on the most recent Feasibility Study, completed in late 2011, once in production, New Gold's 30% share of annual production is expected to be over 90,000 ounces of gold and 85 million pounds of copper over an initial 17-year mine life. Life-of-mine cash costs are expected to be approximately ($700) per ounce of gold on a by-product basis and approximately $550 per ounce of gold and $1.45 per pound of copper on a co-product basis. Metal price assumptions used to calculate the average life-of-mine El Morro cash costs are $1,200 per ounce of gold and $2.75 per pound of copper.Under the terms of New Gold's agreement with Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp"), Goldcorp is responsible for funding New Gold's 30% share of capital costs. The carried funding will accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.58%. New Gold will repay its share of capital plus accumulated interest out of 80% of its share of the project's cash flow with New Gold retaining 20% of its share of cash flow from the time production commences.Activity at site during the third quarter was limited due to the previously announced temporary suspension of the project's environmental permit, pending the resolution by the Chilean Environmental Permitting Authority (the "Servicio de Evaluación Ambiental" or "SEA") of certain deficiencies in consultation asserted by a group of indigenous people whose claims were supported by the Chilean court. In June 2012, SEA initiated the administrative process to address the deficiencies identified by the Chilean court. During the period of temporary suspension, Goldcorp's focus is on obtaining the project permits and optimizing project economics including sourcing of a long-term power supply.Outlook for 2012New Gold is pleased to reiterate its guidance for 2012. The company continues to forecast gold production of 405,000 to 445,000 ounces at a total cash costs(1) per ounce sold, net of by-product sales, of $410 to $430 per ounce. As outlined in the company's February 2012 guidance news release, gold production was expected to increase, coupled with a decrease in cash costs, in the second half of the year as New Afton started production. As anticipated, the third quarter delivered increased production at lower costs when compared to both of the first two quarters of 2012. Importantly, as New Afton has now reached design throughput and should begin to benefit from improved grades and recoveries, this trend of increasing production and declining costs should continue in the fourth quarter. New Gold is proud of its performance through three quarters of 2012 and looks forward to a strong finish to the year.New Gold 2012 Production and Cost Guidance Gold Silver Copper (000 Ounces) (000 Ounces) (Million pounds) Total Cash Cost(1) Mesquite 140-150 -- -- $710-$730 Cerro San Pedro 140-150 1,900-2,100 -- $250-$270 Peak Mines 90-100 -- 12-14 $640-$660 New Afton 35-45 -- 30-35 ($1,200)-($1,300) New Gold Total 405-445 1,900-2,100 42-49 $410-$430 Note: New Afton production range includes gold and copper produced between mill start-up and achievement ofcommercial production. The revenue from this pre-commercial production will be offset against capital costs. New Afton gold and copper sales from the point of commercial production forward are expected to be 20,000 to 30,000 ounces and 20 to 25 million pounds, respectively. Assumptions used in the 2012 guidance include gold, silver and copper prices of $1,600 per ounce, $30.00 per ounce and $3.50 per pound, respectively, and Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Mexican peso exchange rates of $1.00, $1.00 and 13.00 to the U.S. dollar, respectively. The diesel price assumed for 2012 is $3.30 per gallon.About New Gold Inc.New Gold is an intermediate gold mining company.

The terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" used in this news release are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 under guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005. While the terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve calculation is made. As such, certain information contained in this news release concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards is not comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. An "Inferred Mineral Resource" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and as to its economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an "Inferred Mineral Resource" exists, or is economically or legally mineable. In addition, the definitions of "Proven Mineral Reserves" and "Probable Mineral Reserves" under CIM standards differ in certain respects from the standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.TECHNICAL INFORMATIONThe scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed by Mark Petersen, a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and an employee of New Gold.(1) TOTAL CASH COSTS"Total cash costs" per ounce figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, which was a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products and included leading North American gold producers. The Gold Institute ceased operations in 2002, but the standard is widely accepted as the standard of reporting cash cost of production in North America. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. New Gold reports total cash costs on a sales basis. Total cash costs includes mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, royalties and production taxes, but is exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs. Total cash costs are reduced by any by-product revenue and are then divided by ounces sold to arrive at the total by-product cash costs of sales. The measure, along with sales, is considered to be a key indicator of a company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-IFRS measure. Total cash costs presented does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs presented under IFRS. A reconciliation will be provided in the MD&A accompanying the quarterly financial statements.(2) CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATIONS BEFORE WORKING CAPITALCash generated from operations before working capital is a non-IFRS performance measure which the company believes provides additional information about the company's ability to generate cash flows from its mining operations.(3) RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED NET EARNINGSNew Gold 2012 Third Quarter Consolidated -

Pickens Plan Comes to RFD-TV
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ — T. Boone Pickens will bring his message addressing the energy crisis to farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners with a special edition RFD-TV "LIVE" television broadcast, which will originate from RFD-TV's Nashville studios on Wednesday evening, October 29th, beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
National and local media are invited to attend, as Mr. Pickens will also hold a press conference at the NorthStar/RFD-TV studios beginning at 6:45pm ET/5:45 pm CT.
Mr. Pickens will discuss details of the Pickens Plan with RFD-TV host Orion Samuelson, and take questions from RFD-TV's national television audience along with special guests in the Nashville studio made up of rural youth, including Tennessee FFA and 4-H members. The special prime-time broadcast is scheduled to last for 90 minutes.
"With the national election right around the corner, this special Town Hall broadcast could not be more timely," stated Patrick Gottsch, Founder & President of RFD-TV. "Rural America is key to solving the energy crisis, and for our audience to hear from and get their questions answered directly by Mr. Pickens at this time is a tremendous opportunity that is truly appreciated by all."
"I am excited to have the opportunity to appear on live television with RFD-TV and talk directly to America's farmers, ranchers and rural landowners about the Pickens Plan to dramatically reduce America's dependence on foreign oil," said Mr. Pickens. "Addiction to foreign oil is killing our economy, threatening our national security and making us more vulnerable than ever. The Pickens Plan can work and better yet it can revive rural America, creating jobs and opportunities across America's heartland. Our Presidential candidates both recognize this, but they need to be more specific in providing the details of their energy plans. We'll talk about this on RFD-TV and find a way to focus the candidates on the first 100 days of their Administration, so that we can put in place a real plan – the Pickens Plan — that finally reduces our dependence on foreign oil."
A repeat of Mr. Pickens' RFD-TV Town Hall meeting will be rebroadcast on both Thursday, October 30th at 10am ET /9am CT and again at 3am ET/2am CT on Sunday, November 2nd. RFD-TV is now distributed into over 40 million homes nationwide, including DIRECTV (channel 379), DISH Network (channel 231) Verizon FiOS TV (channel 247), plus local channels on many Comcast, Bresnan, Charter, Mediacom, Suddenlink, and over 600 independent rural cable systems.

- Josh Eidelson updated throughout the day and spoke to strikers in several states.
Paramount, California striker Maria Elena Jefferson told The Nation this afternoon's mass rally was "Very emotional. Very big. We were hoping that there would be a lot of people from the city supporting us, and we thought there would be supporters from other stores, and every time I looked around, it was bigger than bigger." (Jefferson was interviewed in a mix of English and Spanish.) She said that the willingness of three workers to get arrested sent an important signal to management that workers are "willing to take the risk" and "what we're doing is right."
According to Make Change at Walmart, while standing in the middle of the street this afternoon, one of the three arrested workers, Charlene Fletcher, said, "We are serious about improving our jobs and ending retaliation at Walmart. No matter how hard we work for Walmart, my husband and I can't catch up on our bills. But when our co-workers speak out about problems like these, Walmart turns their schedules upside down, cuts their hours and even fires people."
- Much credit to Rep. George Miller, the ranking Democrat on the House Education and Labor Committee, and Rep.-elect Alan Grayson for showing up to support Walmart strikers.
- For more Creative Commons-licensed pictures of Walmart strikers and supporters, check out Document the Strike.
- Coverage from the New York Times, Marketplace, CBS Baltimore.
Remember that while Walmart is the target of these protests, and is, as the largest employer, the one that exerts the most influence on the U.S. retail industry, it's far from the only massive employer forcing its workers to come in on Thanksgiving day or the very early hours of Friday, and far from the only one keeping its workers poor and desperate for more hours of work.
A fair day's wage
- With the announcement that mediation between Hostess and its union workers has failed and the company will indeed liquidate, this firsthand account of the decline of a great American bakery is worth a read.
- US Airways flight attendants voted to authorize a strike, though that doesn't mean it will necessarily come to that.
In Germany, T-Mobile's parent company is a union employer. In the United States, this is the kind of treatment call center workers are subjected to:
Their customer-handling time was not only reduced by a third, but, at the same time, the sales targets for cell phones and phone contracts were increased enormously.
Whoever is not able to reach these high expectations is faced with disciplinary measured, harassment, and threatened with termination or other professional consequences, workers explain in the interviews. If all that is not bad enough, workers are even being publicly shamed. For example, call center employees in Chattanooga had to wear a dunce cap for hours to demonstrate their alleged failure when they were not able to meet their numbers.
A 41 year old employee, who suffered under this measure several times, reports that the dunce cap was moved from desk to desk until it ended up at her desk. Never in her life, she says, did she feel so belittled and ridiculed.
- Some people we really need to work on Thanksgiving and other holidays—public safety workers and the like. Retail, we don't. But retail is stealing Thanksgiving.
- We need to move to clean energy, but we need to do it without leaving workers in coal and other dirty energy industries behind. Michelle Chen looks at coal communities at the pivot of dirty industries and a new energy future.
The War on Education
- A few examples of charter school corruption. Not that it's hard to find more.
- Jeb Bush and Arne Duncan, together again:
There's no real surprise in the Jeb and Arne show. Duncan has spoken at earlier Bush summits. Obama himself stood on a stage with Bush — the architect of Florida's damaging corporate-style education reforms, which have become a model around the country — and called him "a champion of education reform." This while Wisconsin teachers were protesting for their collective bargaining rights last year. And I wrote a few days ago that Bush's summit had also booked as a keynote speaker John Podesta, founder and chairman of the Center for American Progress, who was president Bill Clinton's chief of staff and and co-chair of Obama's 2008 presidential transition team.
State and local government
- Florida Gov. Rick Scott is really leading the privatization charge. Thanks to privatization of prison health care, nearly 2,000 state workers are losing their jobs right before Thanksgiving:
The Department of Corrections signed a $230 million contract with Corizon Healthcare of Nashville to provide all health care in central and north Florida prisons and is negotiating contract terms with Wexford Health Sources of Pittsburgh to take over health care in nine South Florida prisons for $48 million a year.
In the dismissal letters, prison officials emphasize that dismissed workers will get first consideration for new jobs at one of the two for-profit vendors, though with fewer benefits. The workers also expect to pay more out of their pockets for their own health insurance.
Many make less than $35,000 a year, have not had a raise in six years and live in economically distressed areas home to many state prisons, including Bradford, Dixie, Levy, Suwannee and Union counties.
