had two :) second one is in the box still heh.
they're easily the best 4 channel primary trainer. fly rings around all the trainers out now. much better handling. the reason is because eagle II's don't require a master builder to build at 4 1/2lbs where all the ARF/RTF trainers out there now are all 5.5-6.5 pounds and that's just too heavy!

Awesome advice, I went to the hobby store and couldn't help myself....
They had the earlier recommended super cub and was WAY bigger than I expected. I think I'll play around with the sim for a bit and then work towards either a super cub or an eagle II I'm very competent with gas or electric engines so I foresee some of both in my future. I found there is an AMA field very close to me and a not so official field about 20 miles away. What does AMA stand for and how much is it to join? (if anyone knows)

yay! big first step!
Academy of Model Aeronautics
First understand you DO NOT have to have a license to fly R/C "hobby" aircraft in the USA. You can fly ANYWHERE as there has never been FEDERAL restrictions to where you may fly. NO agencies BUT the FAA has a legal claim to the Airspace in our country. (That wont stop cities/towns/municipalities and the park services from running you off tho!)
Their Positives:
Just please heed my words. Real Flight (and Pheonix) are built to SELL you planes. Even with all the "physics" and "difficulty" maxed out, planes in sims are flat out easier than real life. In real life virtually all the planes/helis found in the sim are significantly heavier with significantly less power.
My rule of thumb (Because I have & have owned many planes in real flight over the years) is cut the engine power by 30-50%, and if it's a sport plane, increase the weight 50%. THEN they fly "about what they should". LoL!
I'm not anti-sim. They save money ever time you reset! I'm "so many newbies have bought them in the last 2 decades only to be bitterly disappointed with the real life versions of the planes that are 10-15mph slower and have a much higher, faster sink-rate when gliding)". It's just not a lot of guys out there (even on the R/C forums) have enough experience with enough types of models & flying to actually tell you that! Mainly, because they're out flying and never have a use for sim flying LoL!

they likely told you the parkzone super-cub.
keep in mind. if thats what they reccomended that's actually almost 4 times smaller than what virtually everyone flying before about 2005 was learning on! ;) it's something you can sneak into a park or field & try to fly.
it's a very popular entry into the hobby. i can't stand them personally. theyre so small they don't fly very well. their redeeming feature is that half the people that ever buy them can just pay their $175 bucks, throw it a few times & decide RC sucks. Or, they think it's the greatest thing ever and go tell everyone else on RCGroups or Wattflyer or RCU about how wonderful it is LoL!
But hey... Aint my money :)
Lemmie tell you legit exactly how to approach this before you go blowing money k? Go to your local flying field. Virtually all R/C club's will have a trainer with a buddy box & someone designated to fly on you on. They do all the work and you get to fly without fear. If you fudge it, they let go of a spring loaded button & cut your control off.
MOST R/C clubs in the USA will let someone come do it 3 times before asking them to "join the club or not". It's also a good time to get a feel for the people in the club. Down here everyone is friendly, elsewhere they're not. But if the freakin "cub designated buddy-box pilot" isn't a nice guy. Then you may not get along with that R/C club!

The guy at the hobby store mentioned a buddy box and getting 2-3 free passes to check it out before I had to "pay up". I may ride over there tomorrow after I go to the rifle range and check it out. I'm not looking to buy a plane for at least 2-3 months, that was the SO's deal, I could get the sim but not a plane for awhile. Besides, since my last post and this one I've probably destroyed about 50 planes....
I can get them in the air and fly them easily, I just can't seem to get them back down in 1 piece.
Is it really not obvious to people that the sim isn't 100% accurate? I've watched lots of RC plane video's on youtube and almost none of them can take off completely vertical straight into loops etc.

I was in your shoes about a year ago this month. I started ultra cheap, and upgraded as I needed.
First off, a sim is super valuable. I have been using Microsoft Flight Simulator for 17 years. I have real flight time in a Cessna 172, and a Stinson 108. That being said, I have lots of experience flying from the cockpit, and understanding the physics of flight. When I bought my foamy, I bought a cheap USB controller that was similar to the one that came with my plane. I had a cheap FMS Cessna 182 with a 55" wingspan. I spent $100 and that included a battery, radio, plane, motor, ESC, and all servos. I built the plane, taxied it around the neighborhood and spent lots of time using the clearview sim. It's cheap, but the physics are pretty good. The best part is that it had my Cessna modeled into it. I spent a few hours each day for almost a week flying it until I could take off, fly it, and then land it. I even played around with the wind settings.
I got my courage up, and took the 182 out for it's first flight. I took off, trimmed it, and then started shooting approaches ASAP. Take off is optional, landing is mandatory. Once I felt comfortable, I got it on the ground to make sure I could do it. I got in one more flight before the battery was discharged. I played around with that plane and loved it. It was a blast to fly. Then I stepped up to another foamy but this time with a bigger motor, and retractable gear. I also stepped up to a Spektrum DX6i radio. It was fun, but the plane didn't hold together well. The landing gear mounts aren't the best, and I had a hard time transitioning to it. I got a USB cable that allows me to plug my spektrum radio to the computer for the clearview sim. Makes things much better.
I then put together a balsa ARF cub that was a bit bigger. The balsa planes fly much better than the foamies, but crashes aren't as forgiving. I had an ESC fail, and lost all power to the plane. It crashed and was not rebuildable. Foam probably would have been just as bad though.
My latest is this one:
Cost $120 for the kit from hobbyking.com. I have at least that much more in the electronics/motor of the plane. The gear are actually from another super cub kit that is more scale. I haven't flown it yet, but it's the same basic kit as the clipped wing cub I crashed but has slightly longer wings and flaps.
It's a fun hobby, and you can spend as much as you want and have fun.

yup. lesson to learned. it happens, no big deal! we all been there!
if a plane is large enough to handle a couple oz more weight. always try to have your receiver/radio system powered with its own power source. if at all possible a "failproof" source. as in directly from batteries. be it 4/5 cell nimh/nicd packs or two A123 cells. (BEC's are a failure point and can introduce RFI/EMI into the radio system). (lipos and a BEC are still better than an ESC powering the radio).
Bagel what happens is this. (Keep in mind I'm not biased. I build/own/buy/sell/fly about everything, even electric foamies!) So let me say something very biased. The reason people "don't get" that simulators are not close is because they never advance themselves in R/C. That is 100% fine! But the classic example is somebody that's only ever flown little foamies get's bent out of shape at a real club because nobody will let them test fly their non-trainer plane. They think because they can do half the 3D manuvers in the book with little flat plate foamies that they can fly anything. They're GREAT for learning that kind of stuff (just like a sim), but don't teach you what the real deal can!
It's not a knock on foamies as much as pointing out Pilot Error & that small foamies & sims can't teach everything that happens or you may eventually need to know. :) the ah. take everything in steps no matter what you do & don't over-fly your abilities.

I've had a crosswind up high shred rockets before, the real world is pretty unpredictable. I'll be honest, after playing with this sim for about 2 hours I can't even get near the runway lol. I can land the plane, but nowhere near where I want to. I'm planning to take it slow, but I do want to advance and build thing myself, I just don't want the "I told you so!" from the SO when I bring home a pile of toothpicks/foam.

ya it takes a little while because you're on a 2D monitor & not real life and because you just have to learn controlling something way over yonder :) it bites you either way. flying normal R/C you can exactingly tell the distance to the ground and see how the plane reacts to the air relative to where you want to be, but your spacial ability on what the plane is actually near is poor at best. (the rule of thumb is if there is ANYTHING at all you can possibly crash into, you will. ESPECIALLY if it's just one sole object with nothing else around it!). a real plane (or FPV) is easier to line up, you can see how close the plane is to anything the camera is looking at but much harder to judge overall distance & sink rate.
learn it "by the book" and youll be peaches. don't have to use it (and most of us all disregard most of it as you become increasingly adept at how the plane handles & what kind of speed/room you need), but its good to know how for the day you need it!
wrote this awhile back for the new flyers on an r/c forum.
FWIW, that's why overzealous people going from small light wing loaded planes have issues with bigger heavier ones. the smaller ones you get away with murder & they don't really exhibit what is happening to the flight profile. they're just not going to snap & fall out of the sky :) BUT take heart! once you learn to fly, the bigger, heavier planes fly better. the extra mass punches through wind & keeps momentum up through aerobatics and stronger construction responds better in the air. ;) pluses and minuses to everything :)
in fact, despite the fact i use to be a club trainer, i am absolutely HATE landing most trainers. they come in slow, they have no sink-rate (they float forever), springy landing gear & lots of lift make them bounce all over the place if you drop one from too high (i.e. you were in a headwind that gave you lift & then the breeze stopped = deep stall from a foot up) and they get caught by wind like a sailboat. in those regards, typical easy to fly trainers are really the hardest thing to land until you get into real scale planes and planes that come in like rockets! most sport planes that come in really hot pretty much the same regardless of wind, all you do is line them up, chop the throttle at the same altitude/distance/speed and they'll sink down to the ground inside a small circle every time. you can load up on fuel & batteries and do touch & goes for hours and never be outside of a relatively small circle. where a trainer is at the mercy of the wind.

I have to admit...
The planes in the SIM are infinity adjustable for power and flight characteristics. That is part of the fun, There are a bunch of them available on the Swap Page in the Knife Edge forum that have been tailored to fly like the RC plane that is being modeled. The field conditions can be modeled too. Sim fun is just another part of the hobby.

I'll admit that I didn't read the whole thread, so if this has been said, ignore me.
If you've got a fairly large field or park nearby I would suggest a Hobbyzone Champ to get started with. $100 everything in the box ready to fly. Fun as all get out and super easy to fly. My 7yo flies mine all the time now. I've got a couple of them ranging from the beater to the super nice one that only I fly.
Here is one of mine with larger tires added to be able to land on the green at a golf course.
Best thing about the Champ, you can pretty much fly it anywhere. The golf course by my house has no problem with me out there in the early mornings or late evenings flying my plane. They are also tough as nails. While you can break them, its hard too. They also don't hurt that bad if you hit yourself by accident.
They can break though.
But they are easy to fix.
Yea, I'll go

I'll second the Hobbyzone Champ. Available at your local shop with lots of parts. Just make sure you do your first flights in as little wind as possible. After a few weeks with the Champ (I was flying a LOT) I moved up to the Apprentice.

Adjusting field goal percentages
How 3-pointers can help offset players with relatively low shooting from the floor
Updated: November 19, 2009, 2:06 PM ETBy John Cregan | Special to ESPN.com
Most NBA teams are already at least 12 games into the season, which means we're fast approaching the time when early-season anomalies will settle into actual trends. And by around game No. 20, you'll have a very good idea what kind of team you put together. You'll see what you did wrong, what you did right and which categories are your strengths and weaknesses.
Thus, right now is a good time to take a step back and look at your percentage categories.

iPod could \"save primetime network TV\"

Mark Cuban, who became a billionaire in the content delivery business, says the announcement this week by Apple and ABC will "enabled a new revenue stream which if it grows, could definitely be the revenue stream that ," says Cuban. He believes other companies will try to get in on the action sooner than they did with music. "All of this isnt going to happen overnight. Distribution must expand beyond Apple, and it will. It will be interesting to see how fast Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Sony (If sony had an iTunes and an ABC deal for the PSP...wow !), AOL and even retailers like Walmart Online and Best Buy respond. Which they will. They arent going to let Apple run away with this market like they did music."

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has gained a reputation around the league for being sort of a clown off-the-field.A YouTube video earlier this week showing Sanchez's naked backside alongside two young women and alcohol didn't help that perception, either.Now, former teammate Erik Ainge has sounded off on Sanchez's propensity for shenanigans, calling the young signal caller "goofy, stupid, and dumb," among other things."Mark is goofy. He played truth or dare. He was kind of awkward around girls, so he needed other people around him to help him out. I was good at that — there were other guys who were good with that. So we'd help him out and talk him through his awkwardness. It happened to him with the 17-year old who said she wasn't 17. Now the butt video and there's been several other issues just like that, but he's always had wingmen."…"Now it's become a thing to try and catch Mark doing something stupid. He's never breaking the law. Look at Aaron Hernandez, Mark Sanchez is child's play in the NFL, as far as off-the-field stuff. I'd know as good as anybody —- what Mark does off the field is child's play. He's dumb about it. He's stupid while being stupid. You have to be smart while being stupid, and he's dumb while being dumb."
He forgot 'Butt Fumbler'. ;-)

|If I don't already own this, I'm screwed, right?
If you don't need it on Blu-Ray and are happy with just a dvd, search for Elements Media. They have it for $12.99. I just ordered it for my 5 year old. What the sellers are charging here is just ridiculous.

TypeIt4Me Touch will enable you to swiftly compose notes, messages and tweets. You can save notes to reuse later, copy them to the clipboard for pasting into other apps, or email, message or tweet them directly from within the app.
Want to type "Best regards"? Just type "br" and leave TypeIt4Me to expand it to "Best regards". Create a library of shorthand abbreviations for snippets of text that you use all the time and these will automatically be expanded on the fly as you tap them out on the keyboard.

Keene said during a radio interview the group will "absolutely" go to the courts.
The gun bill approved by the General Assembly last week bans the sale of 45 types of military-style semi-automatic rifles, among other strict provisions. Keene said it is unconstitutional to ban firearms in common use and that the AR-15 is nation's best-selling rifle.
Meanwhile, a group that successfully petitioned three Maryland laws to referendum last year plans to submit to the state Board of Elections on Wednesday a proposal to put the gun law before voters.
Republican Del. Neil Parrott, founder of mdpetitions.com, said that while the group has not formally decided to fight the law at the ballot box, it hopes to have a petition ready by next week as a preliminary step. The group would need to gather 55,736 signatures to put an issue on the November 2014 ballot.
The gun law, which Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to sign during a ceremony in May, also limits magazines to 10 bullets and requires a license to buy a handgun. O'Malley told reporters Monday that he expected some of his agenda to be placed before voters.
"You can't fear that," O'Malley said of the referendum threat. "The people of our state are smart and they are fair."
President Barack Obama called the governor to congratulate him on passing the gun law, according to O'Malley's office. The Maryland legislation is among the toughest passed in any state legislature since the December shooting massacre of 27 at a Connecticut elementary school. Maryland's law bans the AR-15 rifle that police said was used there.
The Maryland attorney general's office reviews every law before it is signed.
"We believe, as does the attorney general, that our new law is constitutional," O'Malley spokeswoman Raquel Guillory said. "We currently have a ban on enumerated assault pistols, which has been on the books for decades."
The new law is scheduled to take effect on Oct. 1. A successful petition drive could delay it for more than a year until voters decide the issue.
Del. Michael D. Smigiel, an Eastern Shore Republican and one of the most outspoken lawmakers on gun rights, said he expects out-of-state, pro-gun-control organizations such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns to "pour money into Maryland to uphold this" gun law.
"While we can't match them in dollars, we will have many times the manpower out there," Smigiel said.
Thousands of pro-gun advocates flooded Annapolis over the past three months to voice displeasure. On Tuesday some said they had not decided their next move.
"We are looking at our options," said John H. Josselyn, legislative vice president for the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore.
The group posted a message to members on Sunday cautioning against a "knee-jerk" effort to petition the law.
"We have never won a referendum in Maryland, and it may not be the best course of action," the message read. "We may be better off pursuing litigation in the courts."
A ban on cheap handguns known as Saturday Night Specials was petitioned to referendum in 1988 and failed. At the time, there was less public outcry for new gun laws.

MERDARE, Yugoslavia — NATO-led peacekeepers Friday relaxed their control of a buffer zone that separates Kosovo from the rest of the country, allowing the Yugoslav army to deploy on the province's boundary, officials said.
The agreement is part of a NATO-brokered deal allowing the Belgrade government to gradually reclaim the volatile zone separating the Serbian province of Kosovo, a predominantly ethnic Albanian area, with the rest of Yugoslavia's main republic.
Lt. Gen. Thorstein Skiaker, commander of the peacekeepers, and Yugoslav Lt. Gen. Momcilo Momcilovic signed the agreement Friday at the boundary village of Merdare, about 20 miles north of the provincial capital, Pristina.
The agreement demonstrates that the Yugoslav army and North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces--former adversaries--fully agree on the issue of securing the administrative boundary between Kosovo and the rest of Yugoslavia, said Howard Rhodes, spokesman for the KFOR peacekeepers.

Tony Sparano is once again looking for work. The Jets will fire Sparano, who lasted just one season as New York's offensive coordinator, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Sparano previously served as the Dolphins' head coach, going 29-32 before being fired by Miami after Week 14 last season. The Jets were once again dismal on offense this season, ranking 30th in total offense, including 30th in passing yards at 180.7 yards per game. New York finished the year 6-10, marking its second consecutive disappointing season, and speculation has already been rampant about what changes owner Woody Johnson will make. Johnson has reportedly been putting out feelers for ideas to determine the Jets' ideal front office structure. Head coach Rex Ryan is expected to return to New York in 2013, but defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's contract is up and longtime special teams coach Mike Westhoff is retiring. There's also questions about general manager Mike Tannenbaum's future. Perhaps the biggest change in New York could come at the quarterback position, though. We shall see.

This invention relates in general to wire or wireless communications networks, such as, digital cellular mobile radio system networks, and more particularly, to intercepting communications of cellular phone target users and routing the information to a dedicated phone number for monitoring the call.
In order to present a complete example, a digital wireless network using cellular technology is described. The invention is not limited to wireless or cellular networks, but could be used in any network where the subscriber identity module (SIM) "smart card", or similar plug-in SIM provides the digital cellular telephone with an identity. The SIM is a smart card and has a computer and memory chip permanently installed in a plastic card the size of a credit card. The SIM has to be inserted into a reader in a digital cellular telephone before the mobile terminal can be used for its intended routine purposes. A small version of the SIM, called the plug-in SIM may be used for very small hand-portable phones. Certain subscriber information is stored on the SIM card, together with personal data used by a subscriber, such as personnel phone numbers. The SIM card operates to identify the subscriber to the network. Since only the SIM can personalize a phone, it is possible to travel abroad, taking only the SIM card, and rent a mobile phone at the destination.
One of the pieces of important information which identify a user is the international mobile subscriber number (IMSI) which is permanently stored on the SIM card.
Security Parameters and Authentication
An authentication procedure checks the validity of subscribers' SIM cards and permits the access to the cellular network. The authentication is based on an authentication algorithm, A3, which is stored on the SIM card. The A3 algorithm uses two parameters: one is the authentication key, Ki, which is stored only on the SIM card and the network. The second value, the randomly generated number (RAND), is transmitted by the mobile station over the air (i.e. via Um interface). Each call setup or registration uses different sets of RAND numbers. One important point of this security feature is that the relevant parameters A3 and Ki are stored in secured places and are never transmitted over the air.
To protect signaling and user data, digital cellular phone systems use a ciphering method, or ciphering algorithm, which is caller A5/1. The algorithms require a random generating specific key, Kc which is delivered from the network. This is the same number that was used for the authentication procedure. The only difference is that algorithm, A8, is used to produce the Kc. The designer of the ciphering aspects claim that this algorithm is so well protected against eavesdropping that even if someone knows the complete specifications, it is very difficult to intercept the information. This, of course, means that law enforcement agencies or other organizations which may need to listen in on private mobile phone conversation in the past, are no longer able to do so.
To protect users from possible intruders a temporary identity is assigned to all subscribers. This identity (TMSI) is stored along with the real identity (IMSI) in the network. The temporary identity is assigned during the location updating procedure, and is used as long as a subscriber remains active in the network. The mobile station uses TMSI to originate the call and the cellular network uses TMSI to page the mobile station. This means the mobile identity TMSI is changed every session of the mobile station, making it even more difficult to monitor digital cell communications.
It is an object of the instant invention to provide for law enforcement agencies a "digital wiretap" which is required by Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Agency (CALEA).
It is also an object of the instant invention to offer a substantially fully meshed system comprising control networking having a plurality of activator devices and correspondent SIM card in the mobile station.
It is another object of the instant invention to provide "digital wiretap" for target mobile users and that operates completely independent of the polling, roaming schemes, and A3, A5, and A8 algorithms.
It is a further object of the instant invention to provide an activation/deactivation of target phone users by an activator apparatus that transmits short messages including subscriber ID and target phone numbers and that reaches out and finds the target phone.
It is yet another object of the instant invention to provide storing the short message with predetermined phone number/numbers in the SIM card that allows one to modify target phone calls as a "conference call".
It is yet further object of the instant invention to provide activation/deactivation of the target phone by using A-interface (off the switch) or Um- interface (off the air).
The objects of the instant invention are accomplished by a CALEA system comprising a short message which works in conjunction with existing physical mobile network. The short message of the instant invention works in conjunction with and is compatible with existing physical networks. The physical mobile networks is a regular networks provide the actual communication links between and users- cellular phone subscribers whether it be airlinks, or direct wireline links though MSC or PSTN or other communication connection system.
The Activator system (by using a subscriber data base) performs location, initiates communication (by sending a short message) links between Activator and target phone and activates or deactivates the target phone. A SIM card stores predetermined phone number/numbers in the memory. After that every incoming or outgoing call will be modified as a "conference call" with a predetermined phone number corresponding to a law enforcement listening room.
Thus, there is disclosed a system for interception of digital cellular phone communications which is required by Communication Assistance for Law Enforcement Agency CALEA. The system includes a plurality of wide area networks which control the transmission of voice, data, file and other types of messages in a reconfigured exchange area, each area network including at least one air interface Base Station (BS) controlled by a central regional service point Mobile Switch Center (MSC) which is connected to an Activator system. The Activator system is a computer based system controlled by a microprocessor and having a database for permanently and temporarily storing predetermined cellular phone subscriber information and messages from and intendant for selected end users. Activators communicate with each other and with other wide area network via a physical communication network which provides communication links between the networks and the end users, whether wireless or wired.
FIG. 1 is a system drawing of background digital cellular networks illustrating the division of communication cells and the controlling stations.
FIG. 2 is a system diagram of an embodiment of the instant invention illustrating an over the air interception activation procedure. The Activator communicates with the target cellular phone and activates or deactivates the interception procedure.
FIG. 3 is a system diagram of an embodiment of the instant invention illustrating an over the air interception activation/deactivation procedure using a mobile based system.
FIG. 4 is a system diagram of an embodiment of the instant invention illustrating the interception procedure off the Mobile Switch Center (MSC). The target phone is communicating with a destination phone in a "conference call" mode originated by the activated SIM card.
FIG. 5 is a system diagram of an embodiment of the instant invention illustrating interception procedure off the Public Switch. The target phone is communicating with the destination phone in a "call forwarding" mode which is set up by the activated SIM card.
With reference to the drawings, FIGS. 2-5 illustrate a representative portion of the interception system comprising a plurality of peer wide area networks (WANs). The invention is applicable to any telecommunication radio network that allows mobile (wireless or wired) subscribers to communicate. FIG. 1 illustrates the background digital cellular telecommunication networks which comprise existing digital cellular telecommunication systems for establishing the actual physical airlinks, as well as the wire line communication links, between a remote cellular phone and either remote phones or wireline phones via transceivers in individual cells and wireline subscribers. The instant invention utilizes the physical digital cellular, radio or public switch network 8 (PSTN) (see FIG. 4) to locate and intercept communications between subscriber cellular phone 4 or cellular phones and wireline subscriber phone 9 (see FIG. 4). The interception system preferably provides a novel, digital network comprising a plurality of WANs and works in conjunction with the existing physical radio and digital cellular networks 1,2,3 for determining the cellular phone identification 5 and the location of the cellular phone user for routing Short Message to the target phone 4. Thus, the instant invention employs a novel, digital network as shown in FIGS. 2-5 that performs the legwork in establishing telecommunication links, correlating target cellular phone numbers with the actual target phone and target phone user, and routing the Short Message to activate or deactivate the interception procedure.
The interception Activator is a computer based system 1 (see FIG. 2) with an operator display or laptop 7 and a Subscriber Data Base 6 for generating a special access signal for enabling registration of a cell phone. The activator unit includes a modulator and demodulator for the data and an interface to the connection of the receiver/transmitter. An operating system such as DOS 6.2 or Windows NT is used. The Subscriber Data consist of: name, address, IMSI, IMEI- numbers, and subscriber phone number. In the overview menu all the current intercepting subscribers are listed with subscribers data information: name, address, IMSI, IMEI—numbers, subscriber phone numbers, cell location, telephone number of the called party. By clicking an icon on/off the interception procedure can be activated or deactivated via an A- interface for MSC (2) connection (see FIGS. 2, 4) or Um-(RF) interface 11 (i.e. RF simulator)(see FIG. 3) for direct activation.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, an Activator 1 (by using Subscriber Data 6) is able to communicate with individual remote cellular phone subscribers 4 and establishes telecommunication airlinks over interface 11 (see FIG. 3), or a wire link via the MSC physical network 2 (see FIG. 2), and downloads in the SIM card 5 via a Short Message dedicated phone number/numbers to the appropriated Special Data Field in the SIM. The SIM card 5 includes memory for storing this data and software which functions to retrieve the data and initiate a phone call (i.e. commence conference call or call forwarding). After the SIM card 5 has received and stored the Short Message in the memory, it starts to perform the interception procedure. SIM card 5 then modifies every incoming and outgoing call as a "conference call" or "call forwarding", as shown in FIGS. 4-5.
The indirect activation procedure for enabling interception of communications between the cell phone 4 and an intended recipient is shown in FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 2, activator unit 1 comprises a computer based system for initiating activation and registration of cell phones with the cellular network by generating a bit stream of service messages and messages associated with activation of a cellular phone comprising a short burst of data transmitted to MSC 2, as is conventional practice for activating a cellular telephone. The activator unit 1, however, in the present invention, is adapted to transmit an additional message 20 as part of the activation message to the MSC 2 to include the following information: 1) interception enable/disable flag; 2) third party telephone number data; and 3) "call forward" or "conference call" command. The MSC via the cellular communication network sends this information via conventional channels (e.g. via base station 3) to the cellular phone 4, which downloads the data onto SIM card 5 having memory for storing the additional message data from activator unit 1. In this manner, when the cellular telephone 4 is operated to communicate with an intended recipient such as destination telephone 9 (see FIGS. 4 and 5), the electronics within phone 4 activates the SIM card 5, which then retrieves from memory the additional message data to determine if the interception activation flag is enabled. If interception is disabled, communications between the cellular telephone 4 and the intended recipient destination telephone 9 is established in conventional fashion. If however, interception is enabled, the telephone number associated with the third party (i.e., the intercepting or listening party) is retrieved from memory and the cellular telephone in response to the SIM card initiates a call to the third party number to establish communications over the cellular network. Depending on the command stored in memory on the SIM card, either a "call forward" or "conference call" mode is entered for initiating the communication to the third party telephone number. Such communications occurs for interception of cell phone communications for either incoming or outgoing phone calls.
The direct activation procedure, shown in FIG. 4, is based on a simulated mobile "host base station" 11 which simulates an RF interface to cellular phone 4 and which is operative to create a stronger control channel signal than any surrounding cell. As per conventional cellular phone technology, generation of a control channel signal stronger than any of the surrounding cells permits the cell phone 4 to connect to the source of the strongest channel for registration. That is, as soon as the target phone 4 which is within a 50-100 m radius from the direct activated unit receives this strong signal from the "host control channel" of simulator 11, it starts to perform a registration procedure with the "host base station" (i.e. simulator), which is in communication with interception activator 1. The simulator 11 comprising an antenna, receiver, transmitter and an interface to activator 1 (such as RS 232), is essentially a mobile base station which operates to provide a sufficiently strong signal to the target phone 4 to induce phone 4 to believe it has moved into a new cellular region and must now register with the new "base station". The activator unit is preferably located with the mobile simulator 11. Such registration is then performed as in conventional cellular communications. As part of the registration procedure however, the activator 1 sends a data stream to RF simulator 11 which downloads the short message data 20 via the interface simulator 11 onto target phone 4, to the SIM card 5 to activate (or deactivate) the interception procedure. During the registration, the Activator will provide the following information to the target phone: Determination of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
Determination of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)
Call to target phone for verification. As previously mentioned, a portion of the registration process will include the short message which comprises a first data portion corresponding to a predetermined "listening post" telephone number, and a second portion indicative of a call forward or conference call command, and a third portion corresponding to enablement or disablement of the interception procedure. The call forward command operates such that a call from the user of cellular phone 4 to an intended destination phone number 9 is instead routed to the phone number corresponding to the predetermined "listening post" telephone number 10 as shown in FIG. 5. In call forward mode, the listening post may then route the call to the intended destination 10. In conference call mode, each call from the user of cellular phone 4 to an intended destination phone number 9 is permitted to arrive at the destination phone 9 and then a second telephone call is placed to the phone number corresponding to the predetermined "listening post" telephone number 10 as shown in FIG. 4. The interception activator 1 as shown in FIGS. 3-4 is using only for a short period of the time (sending a Short Message to target cellular phone 4—SIM card 5) for activating or deactivating the interception procedure.
After activation, the target cellular telephone continuously will modify every call as a "conference call", as per FIG. 4 or "call forwarding", as per FIG. 5 to the dedicated phone number or numbers until the interception procedure is deactivated by the Activator system 1.
The "call forwarding" procedure has a number of special features:
Blocking one or more target phones
Controlling and modification of the information which is passing the Activator
Creating a false connection between target cellular telephone or destination telephone and listening room.
The instant invention has been shown and described herein in what is considered to be the most practical and performed embodiments.

Coco Crisp leaves game with right shin contusion
Sep 2, 2013, 7:45 PM EDT
The Athletics defeated the Rangers 4-2 this afternoon to move into a flat-footed tie in the AL West, but they might be without their hottest hitter when the series continues on Tuesday.
According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Coco Crisp left today's game due to a right shin contusion. The injury occurred when he fouled a ball off his leg during an at-bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. The 33-year-old finished the at-bat and eventually struck out, but walked gingerly back to the dugout and didn't return to play the field to begin the seventh inning. The severity of the issue isn't yet known, as Athletics manager Bob Melvin told Slusser that he'll be reevaluated when he gets to the ballpark tomorrow.
Crisp has been out of his mind recently, going deep seven times in his last 11 games. He homered in his third straight game today, giving him a career-high 17 home runs for the year.
