1. Some memory cards simply will not let you edit them in the way we are about to, so you may need to do this procedure and if it doesn't work, try a new memory card. 2GB Kingston SD card DOES work for sure so up to you if you want to just buy one of those before beginning.
2. YOU WILL NEED AN SD ADAPTER! This can be a MicroSD to USB that allows you to plug the SD card into your computer's USB port OR a MicroSD to SD adapter if you have a SD port on your computer.
1. Follow these instructions (with video) to setup ADB for your phone, then come back to this procedure to continue.
1. Put the memory card you want to use for the GoldCard into your phone.
2. With the memory card in your phone, click on Settings, SD and Phone storage, then click Unmount SD card. Once it unmounts, click Format SD card. (Please keep in mind that some memory cards don't work, and this will erase all data on your SD Card so back all the data up first to your computer)
3. On the Phone, goto Settings, Applications, Development and then make sure USB Debugging is checked.
4. *Make sure you have installed the SDK and Fastboot correctly from Section I!!!
Plug the phone into the computer and then open the Command Prompt (goto the start menu and type in cmd in the search box). Then type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line.
adb devices
(wait for it to show a serial number underneath, if it doesn't then reinstall the drivers from section I).
Then type:
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid (There is no spaces in this line EXCEPT right after the word cat in the beginning, make sure to put that space in)
5. A code will display, write the code down (MAKE SURE TO WRITE IT DOWN EXACTLY!)
6. Now with the code written down, simply write it backwards (it must be reversed, so if the code is 123456789, slowly write it backwards and make sure not to make a mistake so it becomes 987654321 then continue to the next step).
7. Now, on your computer, goto http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and enter your email in the appropriate field and for CID enter the reversed CID you just copied down BUT REPLACE THE FIRST 2 DIGITS WITH 2 ZEROS! (i.e. 12345678910 becomes 00345678910). *Thanks to Viper for providing these Goldcards for FREE!
8. Click continue and then you will receive your goldcard.img via email. Once it arrives save it to your computer.
9. Now, goto http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Editor/3000-2352-10891068.html?part=dl-HxDHexEdi&subj=uo&tag=button to download the HxD Hex Editor. Save it and install it to your computer.
10. Take your SD card out of your phone and put it into the SD adapter it came with. Then put that into your computer so it shows up on your computer as Removable Disk.
11. Open the Hex Editor (Run as Administrator if one Vista or Windows 7) and click on the Extra tab, then click on Open Disk. Under Physical Disk select Removable Disk (your SD card you just put into the computer). Make sure to UNcheck "Open as ReadOnlyâ€. Click OK.
12. Goto the Extra tab again and click Open Disk Image. Open up the goldcard.img that you saved from your email. You should now have two tabs, one is the SD card (Removable Disk) and the other is the goldcard.img
Press OK when prompted for Sector Size 512 (Hard Disks/Floppy Disks).
13. Click on the Goldcard.img tab and click on the Edit tab and click Select All. Then click on the Edit tab again and click Copy.
14. Click on the Removable Disk tab (Your SD Card) and select offset 00000000 to 00000170 then click on the Edit tab and click Paste Write.
15. Click on File then click Save.
16. Close the Hex Editor.
17. Test what we've done:
Take out the memory card from the computer, then put it back in.
Try to open the memory card on the computer (Removable Disk), if it lets you, you are all set. If it asks/tells you to reformat the card, then try steps 13 – 19 again. If it gives you the same error again, then try a different memory card (Erlern said it didn't work for him until he finally went and bought a Kingston 2GB card, then it worked on that card).
18. You can now use this goldcard to root phones that were previously unrootable!
Reported Issues:
Issue: I get no such directory or file when I type:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
Solution: Try to type this instead (replace the 1's after mmc with zeros):
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
Issue: Having difficulty with the cat command…
"Plug your phone into your computer with the going to be gold card
Go to my computer
Make sure you mount your phone to your computer
Right click after mounted FORMAT on your drive NOT IN THE SETTINGS>FORMAT MODE (trust me)
dont do quick format let it run its course
After it has completed formatting come back to the steps starting at step number 4."

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Thanks Mrs D for the heads up on the flu shots,and the info on it.
My friend got the flu shot,and she ended up with sore muscles AND a slight fever! :shock:
Sweet joke!
Kaff...snow isn't always slippery,only when it isn't that cold and it starts getting slushy...but you already know that!
Now this reminds me of the time when I took that trip to Lake Mountains in Melbourne this June.
It started snowing,but then it got slushy and everyone around me was going down literally!
I was walking really slowly cos I didn't want to dirty my leather jacket and I had snow boots on so it was pretty ok...until my sister ran,slipped and dragged me down...

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
I'm so glad to hear from you Kittenclaws, I was starting to get a little worried, [just can't take the mother out of me]. Not quite sure what I did to everyone, people are giving up their nicknames like I slipped everyone some truth serum or something! If your real name was Kitten-claws, I'd want a drink of whatever your parents were having the night they named you. . Hello Frizz1974, very nice to talk to you. I couldn't help but smile when I read your nickname was a result of your hair. A sense of humor is worth it's weight in gold. Take Care guys, I send you a smile, and my best wishes,..Mrs.D..

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
The snow didn't stick around completely, but it's -4 below Celsius so we've got some more on the way tonight, [so much for the flash weather report]. What is it that your studying for Stef? I was thinking about dressing up again this year for Halloween Mercedes, but I'm not sure I want to give my husband that much ammunition. He fancies himself quite the comedian, [why spoil all his fun by telling him the truth], he works so hard at it. Now I don't want anyone to over react when I tell you this, but this Halloween should be a good one because, my 2 year old "grandson" [before we go any further I have to tell you that I'm a very, very, very young grandma],will be visiting me for trick or treats in his new dinosaur costume, [Kodak moment kinda thing]. I was 21 when I had my eldest, and she was 22 when she had my grandson, [so if you must, I leave the math to you]. I will try to pop in later but for right now, I have to go free my dog, who just got his head stuck in the cupboard where the garbage is, [only in my house! ], Ta, Ta,..Mrs.D.

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Isn't it lovely?
I really hope it's cheered you up and it all began with your sweet thoughts for the Oliver family.
I don't know whether to have the flu-jab or not. I only ever had it once when I was much, much younger, younger even than Pete is now and I was presumably more resilient then and I don't think I've had such a bad cold before or since so I'm very nervous of having it now. I don't think anyone can really advise on it, not even the doctors unless they're your family doctor who knows your history and I don't have one of those.
I'll take my chances I think.

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
I had to pop back for a moment to tell you my dog is fine, other than his intelligence level, [before anyone gets concerned], and to ask the ladies if their driven crazy by the men in their house who continually lose their KEYS? I'm beginning to think that lurking somewhere in my home is a black hole that contains some kind of magnetic pull! I'm serious, I have key rings on the wall beside each door, very noticeable ones at that. The only thing I don't have, are great big arrows pointing them out, [I guess that's next]! It's not that I mind helping him to look for them, but after so many years you'd think that his average would have at least gone up even a little bit. Years back, my late Auntie May from London, Eng. sent him a key ring around 4 inches long that you could clip on one of loops around the waist of your pants, he lost it! I once heard Rosanne Barr say that men believed a women's uterus was some kind of tracking device, and I'd never forgotten that because, I realized she was probably making millions of dollars just talking about something I deal with almost every day, [something just not fair about that].I guess I should be as honest as I can and tell you that in the past few years I've started to lose things almost as much as my husband, [woe, that's a scary thought]. As long as I don't misplace actual human beings, I guess we'll make out just fine. Well I should give your weary eyes a break before you fall asleep at the computer, Take Care ALL, and I hope everyone has a great weekend, AND a reason to smile, Bye for now,..Mrs.D.. :idea: P.S...It just dawned on me about that Roseanne remark, ages back I had a Hysterectomy, it's no bloody wonder my husband and I can't find anything! :?

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
You were absolutely spot on about only taking your family doctor's advice when it comes to getting a flu shot! Very happy you picked up on that. I've been reading back from the start of this topic, [tried 2 or 3 times before], and I still can't get past the first few messages without tearing up a little. Not quite sure what that means, if anything. What I do notice is that even when I get a little teary eyed, I'm smiling. In the movie "Steel Magnolias", someone says that laughter through tears is their favorite emotion, mine too. I realize how corny I must sound sometimes, but that's me. I'm corny, sappy, sentimental and about 10 more words that mean the same thing. Maybe that's not all that bad in today's world, [and I can say, without any reservations], All My Love,..Mrs.D.

New South Wales police have created and fired two 3D-printed firearms, the state police commissioner Andrew Scipione revealed in a press conference today.
The police used the Liberator pistol blueprints produced by US-firm Defense Distributed, printing out the weapon using a AU$1700 desktop 3D printer and AU$35 of materials, Computer World reported.
"The results of the demonstration were disturbing and our worst fears were realised because it showed the effect it can have on the gun handler and the victim," Scipione said in a statement.
He said the guns do not have any of the safety standards, quality control or protection for the user that commercially-produced firearms have.
"The message goes out to anyone with the resources to purchase a 3D printer. Don't attempt to use a 3D printer to produce a weapon. A 3D-printed gun is not potentially dangerous, it is dangerous."
Scipione said 3D printing technology has many positive uses, including medical, scientific and industrial applications, and should be "encouraged, embraced and harnessed to do good, not evil".
"3D guns are made of thermo-plastic or synthetic material which makes them undetectable in airport X-ray machines. The terrorism implications of such a weapon are huge," the Commissioner said.
"3D guns are undetectable, untraceable and easy to manufacture."
Scipione said anyone producing a 3D firearm was committing at least two offences - manufacturing a firearm and possession of an illegal firearm.
"We will prosecute offenders caught manufacturing, selling, owning or in possession of a 3D gun."

Fleming's Truckload of Woes
By Amy Tsao
When food distributor Fleming Cos. (FLM ) landed a 10-year contract with Kmart (KM ) in February, 2001, Wall Street saw it as a sign that Fleming was successfully expanding beyond its traditional supermarket client base. In 2002, Kmart generated $3.3 billion in revenues for Fleming, or 21% of its $15.5 billion total. In 2002, Fleming also thanked Kmart for $35 million to $40 million of its $322.3 million earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).
Dallas-based Fleming, one of the nation's top food distributors, will see no more of that revenue: It and the bankrupt retailer, which was its top customer, agreed on Feb. 3 to end their pact. Fleming shares had already been tumbling before that news. At under $3 per share, the stock has plummeted 81% in the last 52 weeks, reflecting worry over Fleming's ability to make up for lost Kmart business. "I wouldn't even touch it at this price," says JP Morgan analyst Steve Chick, who gives the stock the firm's lowest rating of underweight.
Investors have good reason to be nervous about the stock's prospects. Losing sales from Kmart has left Fleming scrambling -- it must quickly sign on new customers to make use of the expensive distribution infrastructure that was expanded to serve Kmart. In addition, since November Fleming says it has been cooperating with an informal Securities & Exchange Commission inquiry into some of its accounting and trade practices.
No doubt Fleming's plan to sell its 110-store retail operation, announced in September, 2002, should improve its balance sheet. But so far, it has sold only one-third of the stores, which made up 11% of total revenues in 2002. Management has indicated that the sale is proceeding slower than expected, and it isn't likely to fetch as much as hoped for. Fleming was hoping to get $450 million for the assets by the middle of this year.
Furthermore, Fleming has $1.8 billion in long-term debt as of the end of 2002. "With a full debt load, the company is swimming with a heavy sweater on," JP Morgan Securities' Chick says.
While no debt is coming due until 2007, high-yield debt analyst Andrew Ebersole at Kind, Duff & Phelps in Montpellier, Vt., notes that Fleming is "bumping up against" the terms of its credit agreement. Most analysts fear that constrained liquidity will hinder the distributor's ability to compete. On Feb. 5, Ebersole lowered Fleming's debt rating to a 6, which is one notch from the lowest possible rating of 7. He and other analysts see a growing likelihood that Fleming might eventually have to restructure. On the same day, debt-rating agency Standard & Poor's also reduced Fleming's corporate credit ranking to BB-, from B.
No way, Fleming says. A company spokesman insists that its finances are in order and that analysts' speculation of a bankruptcy filing are absurd, noting that Target (TGT ) and supermarket chain Albertson's (ABS ) have recently signed contracts. "We've been growing our business since signing with Kmart," says Shane Boyd, a Fleming spokesman.
Still, a glimpse into the Kmart-Fleming relationship through a court filing to terminate the contract worried some analysts. Kmart's list of complaints about Fleming included falling short on service levels and higher-than-expected logistic fees and other costs. Those claims are inaccurate, says Boyd. "Unfortunately, Kmart was the one that was never able to perform as originally indicated," he says. "Despite their underperformance, store closings, bankruptcy challenges, and other factors that led to declining volumes, Fleming has consistently supplied Kmart stores."
Ebersole is concerned that other Fleming customers may be "similarly disaffected with Fleming's performance," and he questions "to what degree the negative publicity surrounding the unhappy Kmart relationship will adversely impact Fleming's existing customer and vendor relationships."
Fleming also suffers in comparison to close rival Supervalu (SVU ), which had $20 billion in sales in fiscal 2002. In the most recent quarter, the Minnesota-based food distributor's gross margin was 14.2%, while Fleming's was under 4%. Steve Sears, senior vice-president at BB&T Asset Management, figures that it costs Fleming an interest rate of 8.5% to 9% to borrow money to fund its operations, whereas Supervalu's cost is half that. (Sears owns Supervalu shares.)
Supervalu declined to comment on whether it's already gaining from Fleming's problems, but analysts expect that it stands to if nervous customers try to wriggle out of contracts with Fleming.
Over the long term, already heated competition in the food-distribution business is going to intensify, analysts say, making it tougher for Fleming to win business as competitors like Eden Prairie and Supervalu get stronger. And increased consolidation in the supermarket business is a disturbing trend for distributors like Fleming. Large chains like Kroger (KR ) and megastores that sell groceries and general merchandise like Wal-Mart (WMT ) are fulfilling much of their distribution needs in-house.
Even worse for Fleming is the prospect of Wal-Mart entering the distribution business. The world's biggest retailer is already a highly efficient self-distributor. And through its McLane division, which it bought in 1990, Wal-Mart services convenience stores located near its discount outlets.
Analysts suspect that Wal-Mart is considering expanding its distribution capabilities to serve more third parties. "It's a natural extension for Wal-Mart to get into this business," says Herb Achey, senior equity analyst at wealth-management firm U.S. Trust. Wal-Mart declined to comment on the speculation. This may not come to pass for a few years yet, but "this is where Fleming needs to be more concerned," says Achey (he says his firm owns shares in both Supervalu and Fleming.)
For Fleming, the Kmart deal, which seemed so cushy two years ago, has turned into a bed of nails. And while the stock has already taken a thrashing, investors have little reason to believe it's poised for a rebound anytime soon.

"No matter what we tell you about my father," said Aaron Smith's older brother Steve, "he was so much more milder on us than his father was on him."
Aaron's mom and dad lived with the four boys in Colorado Springs, but Mr. Smith's construction partner cleaned out Smith's accounts and left town. So when Aaron was six months old the family moved to a small farmhouse near Rapid City, South Dakota. The town was booming, so Mr. Smith was hoping to pile up a stake large enough to re-start his business as a general contractor.
Times were tough on the Smiths in South Dakota. "We were collecting aluminum cans for gas and we would road-hunt at night for rabbits," said Dave, the oldest of the Smith boys. "I will not eat rabbit to this day."
"But some of my best childhood memories were in South Dakota," said Steve.
"Absolutely," agreed Dave. "That was the best time. We lived on a 40-acre alfalfa farm and around the farm went a creek in a horseshoe shape, so we had our own little island of alfalfa farm, fishing, pigs, cows, playhouses. We had running water in it. It was absolutely wonderful at times, but it was also the hardest times we lived through as a family."
Mr. Smith soon developed diabetes and was told he only had a year or two to live, so the family moved back to Colorado to be closer to the rest of the family. Aaron was three at the time, and the diabetes turned his father into a tyrant. ...
* * * *
... "There was a constant fear in our house," said Dave.
"Constant tension," said Steve.
It came to a head when 12-year-old Aaron spilled milk on the counter. Dad went after Aaron, but Kevin stepped in and threw his dad across the kitchen, denting the refrigerator door.
"The next morning," Steve said, "my mom pulled my brothers aside and said, 'We're leaving. When I tell you to go, you'd better grab what you can and we're out of here.'"
Mom didn't move too far away. The boys wanted to stay within the school district, so the three found a place a quarter of a mile from dad. It's why Aaron continued to keep his Bokuto bedside.
"Dad could still come over at any time and break into the house," said Dave.
"And he was really mad now because mom left him," said Steve.
Mr. Smith passed away during Aaron's freshman year at Sierra High. Both of the older brothers had made their peace with their father and try to look on the bright side.
"Because my father was the kind of person he was, I think all four of us boys learned to lean on each other, and we are very close," said Steve. "I think I talk to Aaron five times a week on the phone." ...
* * * *
... The brothers said that Aaron was far more animated in high school than he is with the Steelers. He'd throw the Hulk Hogan pose on the field, "or he'd do this thing with his arms, a sort of body-building pose, 'Which way to the gun show?'" Dave said.
Aaron was the center on the Sierra basketball team and his rival was 6-foot-9 Lewis-Palmer High center Pat Garrity, who went to Notre Dame and was the Big East Player of the Year before moving to the NBA.
"Aaron had to play against him two or three times a season," Steve said. "They manhandled each other. That's how Aaron got his first broken nose – in basketball. Blood was everywhere on the court, and I remember Aaron throwing a fit because the ref didn't call a foul. The ref said 'No foul, no foul,' so my brother took a handful of blood and threw it in his face and said, 'Tell me it's no foul!'" "Aaron's settled down a lot since then," Dave said. ...
* * * *
... He ended up at Northern Colorado where he filled out and blossomed into a maniacal pass-rusher. He was spurred on by his brothers. Dave bet Aaron in his sophomore year that he wouldn't get 15 sacks. Dave lost and had to change the number on his stock car.
"I'm number 91 to this day," he said.
Dave then bet him the next season that Aaron couldn't set the school record for sacks. Aaron got 21.5 and shaved his brother's head. When the NFL draft rolled around, Aaron was considered by many as one of the nation's sleepers, and some experts believed he'd be drafted in the second round. Perhaps they got that info from the Broncos.
"The Broncos called our house and said they'd take him with the 61st pick," said Steve. "Instead they picked a guard."
The Broncos passed on Smith twice in the third round as well. He wasn't drafted until the Steelers took him in the fourth round with the 109th pick. He saw action in six games as a rookie in 1999 and started the 2000 opener. He became a Pro Bowler in the 2004 season, chased down Shaun Alexander from behind (and from the opposite side) in Super Bowl XL, and entered Sunday's game in Denver riding a streak of 121 consecutive games played.
"I don't know how much our childhood upbringing helped," said Steve. "Kevin ended up going to boot camp, and he said the drill sergeants made everybody in his basic training group cry at one time or another. They couldn't get Kevin to cry. They made him spend 16 hours in the dark, dressed in his boxers in the rain and mud, trying to make him break or cry, and they couldn't do it. Because we grew up with my dad as tough as he was, they couldn't say anything to make him cry. Aaron was the same way. He said we can thank our dad for giving us so much negative, that you rise above it, and you focus on what you need to.
"I'll ask Aaron about the new rookies and he'll say they have talent but that they have to have it in the head. He says the ability to deal with it mentally thins the herd pretty quick."

A Cotswolds manor house bought by a director who allegedly siphoned more than £12.5 million from his own company to fund a lavish lifestyle has been put up for sale.
Adrian Burford paid £9.3 million for Grade II*-listed Broadwell Manor, near Stow-on-the-Wold, last summer.
But the property, nicknamed the "Con-mansion", is now on the market for £6.95 million to clear the owner's debts.
Images from the brochure show the home lavishly furnished. But later pictures, taken after Burford vacated the house, show the same rooms stripped bare.
In June the High Court heard how Burford, former chief executive of private equity investment firm Fern Advisors, stole cash from the company to buy the house. He also spent £20,000 on fine wines to fill its cellars, and bought an Aston Martin Rapide and Land Rover Discovery.
The 50-year-old commuted between his Mayfair office and Broadwell Manor in his Aston Martin, the court was told.
The company director — who was on a £240,000 salary — also took more than £2 million to invest in other business ventures. It is alleged the money was taken between January last year and March this year.
His assets, including the house, were frozen by Mr Justice Hickinbottom, sitting in the Queen's Bench division of the High Court.
Mr Burford is now being sued by his former firm for the return of the cash. A further hearing is scheduled for November 7, and the house is being sold on the instructions of the court receiver.
"When receivers sell property they tend to want a very fast sale which has probably influenced the asking price of this house," said a source.
Broadwell Manor has eight bedrooms and covers more than 13,000 square feet. According to its brochure, it has "all the features of a classic country house", including flagstone floors, "impressive" fireplaces and just over 35 acres of land, including a lake and an Astroturf tennis court.
It was feted by Country Life as one of the finest manor houses in the area and comes with stabling, a staff flat, studio, and four cottages. It is on the market with Knight Frank.
Burford, who is married and has three young children, was not available for comment.

Happy Birthday to Bubbly Blonde Polina
Happy Birthday to Bubbly Blonde Polina
From Nationals to Worlds I have seen amazing growth. It was indeed the right thing to send her to the Olympics. She saw what world class skating looks like and feels like and it has been invaluable to her skating (my youtube comment, but it is exactly how I feel). What a birthday it must have been for her; what a year!
Rabid I agree!! And for being young, she did very well at the Olympics!! I feel like over the coming years she has the potential (growth, interest, etc. aside) to really be a frontrunner, so I'm excited to see where she goes!

Trump sues HK partners
Page Tools
US property tycoon Donald Trump has filed a new lawsuit against his Hong Kong partners, demanding access to their financial records relating to a plot of prime Manhattan land he partly owns.
The new claims replaced the previous $US1 billion suit filed last month against New World Development tycoon Henry Cheng and Shui On Holdings chairman Vincent Lo, the South China Morning Post reported.
"The new claims seek access to the partnership's books and records and the information concerning the sale of the property, which we allege the Cheng group has not fairly disclosed," said Michael Bowe, partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres and Friedman, which is representing Mr Trump.
"The court order precludes them from doing anything with the proceeds until the case is resolved," he was quoted as saying.
Mr Trump, the star of US reality TV show The Apprentice, had accused the Hong Kong businessmen of a "staggering breach" of their duty to get the best price for the plot of land.
It was sold for $US1.8 billion ($2.33 billion) to Extell Development Company and the Carlyle Group, although another bidder offered $US3 billion.
Mr Trump also said they began selling parts of the property last year, of which he owns 30 per cent, without telling him. He also said Extell president Gary Barnett has since lined up deals to "flip" the site.

Faculty, staff get Six Flags passes with athletics buy
By Brian Fox
Ticket Manager, UTSA Athletics
(Aug. 4, 2008)--The summer is almost over but if you act quickly you can still get free admission to Six Flags Fiesta Texas before it's over. UTSA Athletics is offering any UTSA Faculty and Staff member a Six Flags ticket for each All Sports Pass purchased, while supplies last.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The Six Flags admission is valid through Aug. 31, but All Sports passes must be bought by Aug. 15 in order to get the deal. The Six Flags tickets will be available while supplies last.
The passes include admission to all UTSA athletics events on the 1604 Campus -- all 14 sports including basketball. The cost is only $60 per pass, which is a savings of more than $165 for UTSA faculty and staff members. The Six Flags ticket is a $46.99 value... for free. That means you're paying $13 for a ticket to every athletics event on campus.
Soccer season gets under way at home on Aug. 29 and volleyball kicks off at home on Sept. 10. For more information and team schedules, visit the UTSA Athletics Web site.
To purchase a UTSA All Sports Pass, contact the Roadrunner Ticket Office at (210) 458-8872 or e-mail Brian Fox.

Alec Baldwin
March 25, 2014
After announcing his decision to "say goodbye to public life," The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Alec Baldwin will be interviewed by journalist Katie Couric -- but it's not what you may think. The 30 Rock star will return to NBC for a guest starring role on Law & Order: SVU.
Airing on March 19, Couric plays a talk-show host who is interviewing Baldwin's character Jimmy MacArthur, "a controversial New York newspaper columnist who questions the SVU squad's motives during the investigation of a potential hate crime/rape case." In addition to the star power, the Criminal Stories episode will also be SVU star Mariska Hargitay's directorial debut.

Hackney has been declared the cycling capital of London after research showed that more residents commute to work by bike than by car.
The figures, drawn from the 2011 Census by the Office of National Statistics, reveal that 14.6 per cent - or one in seven - of Hackney residents use a bike as their main method of getting to work.
This is the highest bike ridership in London - neighbouring Islington is second on 9.6 per cent - and is three-and-a-half times higher than the city-wide average of four per cent.
Trevor Parsons, coordinator of the London Cycling Campaign in Hackney, said "demographic and geographical factors" were responsible for the popularity of cycling in the borough.
"It's a flat borough and it's within striking distance to areas where employment is reasonably good," he told the Standard. This was accompanied by a population rise of 44,000 over the decade and the growth of Hackney as home to a young, fashionable population more likely to cycle, he said.
Another factor was the council's willingness to redesign junctions and one-way streets to include cycle lanes, and the ability to cycle in all council parks, such as London Fields. A key change was the removal of the "racetrack" Shoreditch gyratory system, which was both a hazard and a danger to cycling in the south of the borough.
Mr Parsons, whose group has more than 1,000 paid-up members, said: "Quite often we get closures of streets to stop rat-running. But we had a programme a few years ago where they were all re-examined to make them much more inviting to cyclists. These are quite small details in themselves but they make a difference to a journey .
"Hackney is by no means perfect and there is still the feeling that the politicians do tread gingerly around the sensitivities of people who own cars. But I think we're a lot better than somewhere like Newham, where car driving is seen as the thing to which people can aspire."
Since the last Census in 2001, the ONS found that the number of Londoners cycling to work had risen from 77,000 to 161,000 - a rise of 109 per cent.
The figures, which exclude the use of Boris bikes, put Lambeth in third place in terms of the number of residents who cycle to work (8.1 per cent), followed by Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Southwark (all 7.4 per cent). The worst boroughs were Harrow (0.8 per cent) and Havering (0.9 per cent).
The City of London is the only other London borough where more residents cycle than drive to work, though this is skewed because of its tiny residential population of 7,400.

Coordinating for priority on urban arterial freight routes
Ramsay, Euan D. & Bunker, Jonathan M. (2005) Coordinating for priority on urban arterial freight routes. In Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management National Conference, 28 - 29 July, Brisbane, QLD.
|PDF (743kB)
Demands of freight and passenger traffic are often considered to be in competition, particularly on designated urban freight routes that use major arterial signalised traffic corridors. A microsimulation model of an urban traffic corridor in Brisbane was developed in order for corridor performance to be evaluated for alternative priority treatments. The model was calibrated with GPS travel time and trajectory data for a range of vehicle classes typical of those found on Australian urban freight routes. Intersection status was recorded simultaneously by the STREAMS traffic management system, enabling the progression of different vehicle classes to be validated under existing signal timing plans. The model can be applied to the optimisation of corridor signal timings. Unlike other models, it was possible to define vehicle-specific performance measures, such as delay, number of stops, and a combination of these. The model can be used to find the best combination of signal timings to favour the progression of particular vehicle classes, such as large freight vehicles. The effects on other vehicle classes can be noted; finding that, although being suboptimal for other classes, it may be possible to achieve some overall gains in traffic efficiency.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
From the Politico story about Scott McClellan's new book:
Bush was "clearly irritated, steamed," when McClellan informed him that chief economic adviser Larry Lindsey had told The Wall Street Journal that a possible war in Iraq could cost from $100 billion to $200 billion: "'It's unacceptable,' Bush continued, his voice rising. 'He shouldn't be talking about that.'"
From the CIA's 2004 report on Iraq's WMD:
Advisory groups [Saddam] established generally assumed Saddam already had a preferred position [on issues] and commonly spent time trying to guess what it was and tailor their advice to it. More conscientious members of the Regime sought to work around sycophantic or timid superiors...Saddam ignored his economic advisors in the Ministries of Finance and Planning with respect to strategic planning. For example, Saddam entered the Iran-Iraq war heedless of Ministry warnings about the economic consequences. He had no plan or strategy for how the war was to be financed.

James Vincent McMorrow, Live At Gigstock
Every morning on WNYC, Soundcheck's John Schaefer offers listeners a Gig Alert -- a profile of one outstanding artist set to perform that night in New York. Now, Soundcheck is presenting Gigstock, a mini-festival featuring another killer double-bill: Conor Oberst and James Vincent McMorrow.
The Dublin-based musician James Vincent McMorrow traveled to a pecan farm in Mexico to make his second album, Post Tropical, which he wrote, performed and produced himself. McMorrow stepped outside the comfort zone established by his acclaimed 2011 debut and embraced R&B, hip hop and experimental sounds. On tour with a backing band, McMorrow will perform solo on The Greene Space stage -- returning to the environmental conditions that led to Post Tropical.

2011 NBA Draft day is upon us, analysis and recap of events
It all began All-Star Weekend when NBA commissioner David Stern gently picked up the Sacramento Kings and placed them on the tracks of the craziest roller coaster ride known to man. For months, the ride went up and down, side to side, splashing through pools of water, until a reprieve of sorts brought the ride to an abrupt halt. While plenty of fans were able to get off and take a break, the hardcore fan couldn't quite lift the hand rail and got locked in for another turnaround. That turn? Draft season. We've done our best to bring you top notch draft coverage through prospect profiles, podcasts with some of the most relevant guests and mock drafts from a variety of sources, so here is a recap. ...

Fed-up homeowners in a Nottinghamshire village have endured 19 earthquakes over the past fortnight.
Seismologists say the tremors in Edwinstowe - the largest of which was 1.7 magnitude - have coincided with mining work at the nearby Thoresby Colliery.
The quakes started a month after Chancellor George Osborne visited the colliery and cited it as a place where his economic plan is working.
The British Geological Survey has contacted Nottinghamshire County Council over the tremors, which have rocked homes.
Seismologist Davie Galloway said: "People are probably getting a bit fed-up of them by now.
"Though most of them have been small tremors, because they are happening so shallow they are being felt most of the time.
"People have reported their homes shuddering, windows rattling and a loud bang.
"We do not know the exact reasons - but it could be because the mine workings are simply upsetting the underground stresses in that region."

Katy Perry and John Mayer, a Timeline...
Via MTV Canada:
Sometimes the best way to deal with a broken heart is by laughing. And since news broke that Katy Perry and John Mayer reportedly broke up again, Perry has been keeping fans up-to-date on what she's been up to in a post-Mayer world. And it seems that her new man is funnyman Mike Myers.
On Tuesday, the same day their split made headlines, Perry tweeted, "About to watch Wayne's World. For the first time…" While it's anyone's guess if her viewing of the 1992 comedy has anything to do with her rumored split, in the last few weeks Perry's tweets seem to hold some clues about the end of their romance.

The Zimmerman Telegram
Two moves by the Germans brought the United States into World War I: Germany's decision to wage unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram. On March 1, 1917, the United States intercepted a telegram from Arthur Zimmermann, German foreign secretary, to Mexico. The coded correspondence proposed an alliance between Mexico and Germany, and vaguely promised Mexico the return of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona if Mexico helped Germany attack the United States. This and the new German policy of unrestricted submarine warfare forced the United States to forego neutrality and enter World War I on April 2, 1917. The entrance of America on the side of Great Britain and France gave the Allies the last push forward to win the war.

Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. corn production may be 24 percent smaller than the government's estimate as drought in the Midwest slashes yields and spurs farmers to abandon acres, Farm Futures magazine said, citing a survey of 1,800 growers.
The corn harvest may plunge to 9.86 billion bushels this year, below the U.S. Department of Agriculture's current projection of 12.97 billion bushels and 33 percent less than the government's June forecast for a record 14.79 billion, Farm Futures said today in an e-mailed statement. The USDA is scheduled to update its estimates Aug. 10.
"The scope of this year's drought is difficult to comprehend, both in its intensity and coverage," Arlan Suderman, a market analyst at Farm Futures, said in the statement. "The market clearly has more work to do as it attempts to bring demand into balance with the shorter supply."
Corn futures have surged 56 percent on the Chicago Board of Trade since mid-June, touching a record $8.205 a bushel on July 31, as the U.S. suffered its worst drought since 1956. The USDA has declared more than half of U.S. counties as disaster areas, with corn and soybean crops in the worst condition since 1988.
U.S. corn yields may average 117.6 bushels an acre this year, compared with the USDA's projection of 146 bushels, Farm Futures said. About 84 million acres will be harvested, almost 5 million less than predicted by the government, as farmers plow under failed crops, the magazine said.
Soybean production may be "just under" 2.7 billion bushels with national yields averaging 35.8 bushels an acre, Farm Futures said. The USDA estimates the soybean harvest at 3.05 billion bushels with yields of 40.5 bushels an acre.
Growers were surveyed from July 20 to Aug. 2.

Where I stayed
The Yak Hotel, Manang
What I did
Walk, washing
Feeling a bit emotional, teary. End of period stuff, is all. We've found somewhere that shows movies so we're going to go and chill out there at 2pm and eat our sardines and bikkies. Early night tonight - off to Yak Kharka in the morning. We'll go and visit Ziv and Yael at The Manang Hotel after dinner though. There are a couple of walks and side-trips you can do from Manang, ranging from a day to 3-4 days round trip. Tilicho Lake would be stunning; it's the highest Lake in the world.
If you're staying somewhere for more than a night it's a great opportunity to see if there's somewhere to walk up a couple of hundred metres then back down again, for acclimatisation
We've just ordered our dinner - Ziv and Yael made a quick getaway after coming up to exchange e-mails and hearing that it's one of the Israeli girls' birthday.....Ziv said that "soon, lots of noise....we go" and they cleared off! We walked down to their hotel about 2pm to see if they wanted to come to the Cultural Museum with us. We disturbed their rest, but they came with us anyway.
They are a lot of fun - Ziv is very funny and Yael gets self-concsious when Ziv compliments her or talks about her achievements. The museum was set out as a traditional Nepali home but with more things on the walls. After the museum - oh, there were amazing, old thanka's in the prayer room, and a semi-stuffed yak on the ground floor where the animals would be housed in winter. So, after that we went up to see about watching a video at the 'cinema' and decided we'd watch Touching The Void, starting at 4pm. We all went to a bakery and had a cup of tea while we were waiting, then began an explanation of Australian government for Ziv - slightly side-tracked by unionism - on the way back to the cinema.
Ziv and I took some pics of the cinema, which was a storage room with bench seats either side covered with yak hides
Ziv explained to B what yom kipper is. We explained to Ziv the many uses Australians have for the word 'stuffed' - which was prompted by the unfortunate yak at the museum.

Does anyone know what the seed combination is in MO Waterfowl Forage???? I have read good things about it, but would like to make my own mix to save $$$$.
I hunt private land in VA that has about 6 miles of large swamp with several beaver ponds,potholes and large channels.
I would like to plant some stuff on the banks and mud flats throught out the swamp but I am not sure what to plant. I have done a little research and came up with the following.
Japanese Millet- easy to grow, broadcast in water and banks 60-90 day growth
Wild Rice- Grows in 2-12 in. water, harder to grow
Mossy Oak Waterfowl Forage-Don't know what is in it but here it does well.
If anyone knows what is in it, that would be great, or reccomend what you have had the best luck with.

Budget Cuts Could Close Redfern Community Center
As a result of what it calls "chronic federal underfunding" over the past few years, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has announced a plan to consolidate 19 "underutilized" public housing community centers and is actively looking for community-based sponsors for several others. Among those for which a sponsor is being sought is the Redfern Community Center at the sprawling Redfern Houses in Far Rockaway, a complex that has seen more than its share of crime in the past two years.
According to NYCHA officials, the federal government is the major source of funding for the city agency, and it now faces a $195.3 million projected deficit in 2008.
"We are on the verge of closing Redfern [Community Center] if we can't find a sponsor," said Howard Marder, a spokesperson for NYCHA. "We're working hard with a community based organization to find a sponsor. We can't say who now."
Marder said such an organization doesn't necessarily have to be from the Rockaways.
"It could be in the Rockaways, citywide, national, the PAL or a church group," elaborated Marder.
Councilman James Sanders Jr. is furious with the agency for even considering closing the active, vital community center.
"I am outraged [about] any talk of cutting off essential services to our young people at a time of great need," said Sanders. "Especially in a place where you have gunshots and shootings."
Sanders says he is angry that NYCHAdid not contact him in any formal manner to advise him of the community center's future.
"A hearing is not the same as briefing a council member on something impacting his community," he continued.
Sanders, who believes NYCHA needs to request more money from the state and federal governments, is unsure about a sponsor running the Redfern Community Center.
"The God or devil is in the details. What does [sponsorship] mean?" asked Sanders. "If it can cut costs by privatizing… I don't have enough information."
The council member supports a demonstration against NYCHA cuts to be held in Albany on Tuesday, March 18. He will also hold an emergency meeting on the issue at the Peninsula Hospital Center's Meditation Room on March 19 at 8 p.m.
In another cost-cutting move, NYCHA has eliminated 500 positions since October 2007. The agency announced that 27 management offices have been consolidated and another eight will be, shortly.
Also contributing to the need for cutbacks at NYCHA are unreimbursed costs for 21 city- and state-built developments, community services and rising labor and energy costs. More than 500 community-based programs in NYCHA's housing developments will be affected by the budget cuts.
According to a press release from NYCHA, as a result of the cuts "all of NYCHA's community-based services are now at risk. New Yorkers who participate in these programs will continue to have access to services."
Marder concluded by telling The Wave there is no definite time line for either finding a sponsor, or closing the community center.
There was one noticeable difference at this year's parade, which was the addition of the newly formed PS/MS 114 Marching Band. Band director and instrumental music teacher, Harold Robbins, led this spirited group of students, who in September were just learning to play their instruments.
The crowds lining the sidewalks were treated to the talents of the students who proudly played patriotic songs and those of the Emerald Isle. Principal Stephen Grill has always valued the arts in education and made it one of his initiatives to bring instrumental music into the school, in addition to the vocal and visual arts already in place.
The band was accompanied by the chorus, directed by Jodi Timpone, and the cheerleading squad, led by Jennifer Scippione and Christina Licari. In recognition of their efforts, the school received an award from the Queens County St. Patrick's Day Committee, for best presentation.
PS/MS 114, a part of the Knowledge Network LSO, is in its second year of implementation of the Core Knowledge Curriculum. Core Knowledge has allowed our school to implement an interdisciplinary approach to education, with a strong focus on the arts, said Lorraine Engel, Core Knowledge Facilitator. Irish eyes were smiling thanks to the melodious tunes provided by the PS/MS 114 Marching Band, a tradition sure to continue in years to come.

Alisa LaGamma and Philippe de Montebello discuss the original form and function of this arresting sculpture from Central Africa. Recorded on the occasion of The Philippe de Montebello Years: Curators Celebrate Three Decades of Acquisitions, on view from October 24, 2008, through February 1, 2009.
Helen Evans: Metropolitan Museum of Art Director Philippe de Montebello and curator Alisa LaGamma discuss the Museum's African power figure. Their conversation was recorded in connection with the exhibition The Philippe de Montebello Years: Curators Celebrate Three Decades of Acquisitions.
Philippe de Montebello: We are standing in front of this extraordinarily powerful—in fact, it's called a "power figure"—Alisa LaGamma, the curator of African Art, and myself, and you, our listener. And what is fascinating among many, many things about this piece is how it in many ways redefines the term "beauty" for us.
Your instinct is to recoil, because it is a terrifying object. At the same time, it is so captivating you don't quite know what to do. And the reason why I think you have this reaction to the piece is that between the intent of the artist and the execution, there is no slack.
He wanted to create a figure, a cult figure, a reliquary, to precisely—to awe and to frighten, in a way, into a kind of submission to the gods. And he, the artist, has succeeded magisterially. And Alisa LaGamma will tell us a little bit more and with greater precision about just why this was created; what it is. Alisa?
Alisa LaGamma: Well, one of the fascinating things about our reaction to this work is that in many ways, as Philippe pointed out, our experience of it in the present is very much what a Congo individual would have experienced standing before it in the kind of community that this work was a focal point for.
The author of this work intended it to be a deterrent, a work that would inspire respect for authority and social conduct that adhered to a code of behavior. So that members of the community would feel that there was a vigilant and omniscient force that was looking over the affairs of the community, and that there would be consequences to pay were certain boundaries overstepped.
One of the things that I also think, on an aesthetic level, is very interesting to know about this kind of a work is that the sculptor who was presented with this challenge was giving figurative form, was personifying, an abstract force of jurisprudence. And he brought all his talent and imagination to bear on rendering that subject as a very vital and dynamic presence.
Then some of the other elements that really elicit visceral responses from us—like all of that very intense hardware that projects from the torso—that is all the cumulative use of this work over the decades, where members of the community came before this work and cemented different kinds of agreements and treaties and laws.
Philippe de Montebello: Oh, so when the sculptor had finished the work, it was smooth. It is the congregation, so to speak, over time that banged these nails and these things into it. That, of course, is part of what gives it so much life. One almost wonders if it's looking back at us, staring with these eyes that look into eternity out of—what is it, shell?
Alisa LaGamma: It's actually a ceramic that has been—
Philippe de Montebello: A ceramic, yeah.
Alisa LaGamma: —embedded into the wood, to real—
Philippe de Montebello: Almost begging for us to place our own imprint into it. One hopes that it has been neutralized in our galleries.
Alisa LaGamma: There are over four hundred elements of hardware, of different kinds of nails and blades, that were pounded into this figure, and each one of those represents a particular case that was brought before this figure.
Philippe de Montebello: It's like an ex-voto in a church. Tell me, what is that gaping hole in the stomach?
Alisa LaGamma: Well, the figure is produced by the sculptor as a vessel, a receptacle for this force. And the way that the ritual specialist, who is handed the completed sculpture, fills this vessel with its spiritual contents is that he collects special ingredients that are considered to attract the force into the figure.
One of the major materials that is appropriate in this case is earth taken from ancestral burial sites, mixed in with other things. And then the receptacle that is in the abdominal cavity is sealed.
Now, our figure has been emptied of all of that matter. So, in a sense it's been—
Philippe de Montebello: That's rather reassuring, isn't it?
Alisa LaGamma: It's been desacralized, probably intentionally, when it was taken out of the region.
Philippe de Montebello: Well, quite clearly this is quite a departure from the Grecian, classical ideal figure that our Acquisitions Committee is accustomed to see. Yet they expended a colossal amount of money for this major object of African art, and I think that is testimony to how compelling the artist has been in conveying precisely what you described, the function of the piece.
Thank you, Alisa, for your insight.
Helen Evans: This recorded conversation was produced in conjunction with The Philippe de Montebello Years: Curators Celebrate Three Decades of Acquisitions, on view at the Met through February 1, 2009. The exhibition was organized in tribute to Philippe de Montebello's thirty-one years as director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Come to the Museum to take an audio tour of the galleries with many of the Met's curators.
This has been an Antenna Audio production.
