Powerful players : how constituents captured the setting of IFRS 6, a standard for the extractive industries

This paper illustrates the influence of powerful players in the setting of IFRS 6, a new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for the extractive industries. A critical investigative inquiry of the international accounting standard setting process, using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), reveals some of the key players, analyses the surrounding discourse and its implications, and assesses the outcomes. An analysis of small cross-section of comment letters submitted to the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) by one international accounting firm, one global mining corporation and one industry group reveal the hidden coalitions between powerful players. These coalitions indicate that the regulatory process of setting IFRS 6 has been captured by powerful extractive industries constituents so that it merely codifies existing industry practice.

Postal code
Learn more about Postal code
A postal code (known in various countries as a post code, postcode, or ZIP code) is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail.
Germany was the world's first country to introduce a postal code system in 1941. The United Kingdom followed in 1959 and the United States in 1963.
In February 2005, 117 of the 190 countries members of the Universal Postal Union had post code systems. Examples of countries that do not are: Ireland (although a national postal code system will be introduced in 2008 [1]), Hong Kong, and Panama.
Although postal codes are usually assigned to geographical areas, sometimes this is not the case: special codes may be assigned to individual addresses or to institutions with large volumes of post, such as government agencies and large commercial companies. One example is the French Cedex system.
[edit] Usage conventions
Postal services often have their own distinctive formats and placement rules for postal codes (service areas, as a rule, are defined by national borders). In most English-speaking countries the postal code forms the last item of the address, whereas in most continental European countries it precedes the name of the city or town.
[edit] National prefixes
In some countries (for instance continental Europe, where many countries use the same postcode format of four or five numeric digits) it is advisable to prefix the numeric postal code with a country code to avoid confusion when sending international mail to or from that country. The codes used are generally based on Licence plate codes — for instance "D-" for Germany or "F-" for France — rather than ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. Note the ISO Alpha 2-codes are recommended.
[edit] Alphanumeric postal codes
Most postal codes are numeric. The few using alphanumeric postal code systems (with letters and digits) are:
[edit] Postal zone numbers
Before postal codes as described here were used, large cities were often divided into postal zones (or postal districts), usually numbered from 1 up within each city. The newer postal code systems often incorporate the old zone numbers, as with London postal district numbers, for example. Dublin, Ireland still uses postal district numbers, although a postcode system is due to be rolled out for the whole country by 2008. (An Post relies on OCR analysis of the entire address instead.) In New Zealand, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch were also subdivided into postal zones, but these have fallen into disuse.
[edit] Postal codes in particular countries
[edit] Cyprus
Cyprus postcodes are numeric, consisting of 4-digits.
[edit] Australia
Australian postcodes are numeric, consisting of 4-digits. They were introduced in 1967 by the Postmaster-General's Department (PMG), the predecessor of Australia Post. For a history of the PMG / Australia Post see here.
[edit] Brazil
All postcodes in Brazil have 8 digits. Example: 29145-586 and is known as CEP (Código Endereço Postal). The abbreviation CEP is usually used before the code itself as the last line of an address: ie CEP 29145-586
[edit] Canada
Canada uses 6-character alphanumeric postal codes of alternating letters and digits. They were introduced on a trial basis in Ottawa and Manitoba in 1971 and then expanded to the rest of the country between 1972 and 1974.
[edit] China
A postal code in Mainland China administered by the People's Republic of China has 6 different levels and 6 digits. From the left side, the first two digits show a province, a province-equivalent municipality, or an autonomous region. The third digit shows the postal zone. The fourth digit shows a prefectures or a prefecture-level city. The last two digits show a delivery post office.
Hong Kong and Macao have no postal codes. Taiwan Area administered by the Republic of China has a separate set of postal codes.
[edit] Denmark
Almost all Danish postal codes have 4 digits. The exception is a number of 3 digit postal codes used in central Copenhagen.
New regulations add the country code DK to the postal codes, but in practice it is most often omitted.
The code is written before the city name.
1000 København C (Copenhagen City)
6100 Haderslev
DK-9000 Aalborg
The postal codes follow a geographic pattern and most Danes can tell which region an address belongs to based on the postal code alone.
[edit] Finland
From 1971, Finland uses 5-digit numeric postal codes. First two digits show the postal area and the last three the digits represent post office in the area. Corporations receiving large amounts of mail may have an own postal code. The special postal code 99999 is Korvatunturi, the place where Santa Claus (or Joulupukki in Finnish) is said to live.
[edit] France
France uses 5-digit numeric postal codes, the first two digits normally representing the Département.
[edit] Germany
German postal codes are numeric, consisting of 5 digits. Between 1990 and 1993 the old 4 digit postal codes in the former West Germany were prefixed with the letter "W", and postal codes in the former East, with "O" (for "Ost" or "East" in German).
[edit] India
India's postal codes are numeric, consisting of 6 digits, such as Kamboi 384230. They are known as Postal Index Numbers or PIN.
[edit] Italy
Italian post codes are numeric, consisting of 5 digits, such as 20121 Milano. Created in 1967 they are commonly known as CAP (Codice di Avviamento Postale). First two digits refers to the administrative province (two provinces when a new province was created after 1967), third digit designates if the town is the chief-town of the province (if a odd number, usually 1 or 9, example 07100 Sassari) or not (if a even number, usually 0 or 8, example 10015 Ivrea). Last two digits indicates the specific town or village or the delivery post office (only in new provinces created after 1992). In the case of main cities (like Rome, Milan, Naples, Venice etc.) last digits designates the urban postal district (usually are the generic 00 or 70 in other minor provincial chief-towns).
[edit] Japan
Japanese post codes are numeric, consisting of 7 digits, such as 102-8166 Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo.
[edit] Moldova
Moldova's postal codes are alphanumeric, consisting of 2 letters, "MD", followed by a dash, followed by 4 digits, such as Chişinău MD-2001.
The first digit of the postal code refers to one of designated postal zones (such as 2 for Chişinău). The rest designates smaller administrative units or districts and streets within the municipial area of Chişinău.
See also Official site of Poşta Moldovei
[edit] Netherlands
Postal codes in the Netherlands are alphanumeric, consisting of 4 digits, followed by two letters. Adding the house number to the postcode will adequately identify the address, thus making the street name and town name redundant. For example: 2597 GV 75 will be adequate to direct a postal delivery to the International School of The Hague.
[edit] New Zealand
From 1977 to June 2006, New Zealand had a post code system of four-digit codes which were only required on mail sent in bulk. A new system was then introduced, required for all mail. It has 1800 four-digit codes with a much finer granularity than the old codes, with each suburb and PostShop lobby having its own postal code. The first three digits will specify location and the last digit the type of delivery (street, PO Box Private Bag, or Rural delivery).
[edit] Norway
From 18th March 1968, Norway uses a 4 digit system; postnummersystemet. The numbers start on 00 and increases with the distance from the capital city Oslo. The highest post numbers are found in the county of Finnmark, near the Russian border, where the numbers start with 99. At the moment the lowest post code in use are 0001 (0slo), and the highest 9991 (Båtsfjord).
[edit] Philippines
The term "ZIP code" is also used in the Philippines to name its postal codes. The Philippines' ZIP code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation. Unlike American ZIP codes, the Philippines' ZIP codes are four-digit numbers without any extensions. While the cities of Metro Manila use more than one code, towns and cities outside Metro Manila are assigned only one code per town or city. See the list of ZIP Codes in the Philippines.
[edit] Poland
In Poland postal codes are numeric, consisting of 5 digits, 2+3 separated by a hyphen.
[edit] Portugal
The Portuguese postal code (código postal) is formed by 7 digits, 4+3 separated by a hyphen, followed by a postal location of up to 25 characters in capitals. This location is the name of the town, sometimes followed by a three-letter abbreviation of the municipality, for further disambiguation. Example: 4455-111 PARADELA VNB
Postal codes are given at the building block level and also to designated addresses with high volumes of mail.
The first of the seven digits designates one of nine postal regions; the following two digits designate postal distribution centers; the fourth digit is a zero if it belongs to a capital of municipality, a five if not, or any other digit if it is a designated address; the last 3 digits sort building blocks and designated addresses. The more important the city, the more rounded is the number formed by the first four digits.
Prior to 1976, only the City of Lisbon had used a system of six zones (Lisboa 1 thru Lisboa 6). In 1976, a national postal code system was introduced with a 4 digit structure as described above; designated addresses added "CODEX" (abbreviation of código extraordinário) to the postal location (example: 2001 SANTARÉM CODEX). In 1994, the 3 extra digits were introduced and the "codex" expression was dropped.
Postal regions (first digit of postal code):
1 (pink) - City of Lisbon
2 (red) - Lisbon District except City of Lisbon, Santarém District, part of Leiria and Setúbal Districts
3 (yellow) - Viseu, Coimbra and Aveiro Districts, part of Leiria District
4 (green) - Viana do Castelo, Braga and Oporto Districts
5 (blue) - Vila Real and Bragança Districts
6 (brown) - Castelo Branco and Guarda Districts, part of Portalegre District
7 (violet) - Beja and Évora Districts, part of Portalegre and Setúbal Districts
8 (black) - Faro District (=Algarve)
9 (not in map) - Madeira Islands and Azores

[edit] Romania
As of 1 May 2003, in Romania, the four-digit postal codes (one for each county) where replaced by six digit postal codes. Each of the digits represents (from left to right): the postal area, the county, the city/commune, and the last three, depending on the size of the city/commune, represent the commune/city, the street, or even the house/building.

[edit] Russia
Post codes in Russia are 6 digits long. To assist in their machine reading, envelopes are printed with something like a 9-segment outline for each digit, which the sender fills in.
[edit] Serbia
Serbian postal codes consist of exactly five digits. First two digits roughly correspond to the corresponding district, and district seat cities usually have 000 as the last three digits, while smaller towns and villages have non-round last three digits.
[edit] South Africa
South African postal codes are numeric, consisting of four digits. For a list of postal codes or to search by Location or Post Code see South African Post Office.
[edit] Spain
Spanish postal codes are numeric, consisting of five digits. There are a postal code by province: 52 postal codes of 52 provinces.
[edit] Sweden
Since 12 May 1968, Sweden has used 5-digit numeric post codes sorted by geographical location. Numbers starting with 10-19 are part of Stockholm; otherwise, the lower numbers are part of the bigger city areas in the south, and go upwards where the higher numbers are part of the bigger city areas in the north.
[edit] Switzerland
Switzerland uses 4-digit numeric post codes, sorted by geographical location.
[edit] Taiwan
Taiwan Area administered by the Republic of China uses postal codes of 3+2 digits. There are 368 sets of 3-digit codes for rural townships, urban townships, county-controlled cities, districts (Hsinchu City and Chiayi City have districts, but they are coded 300 and 600 respectively without 3-digit subdivisions), Pratas Islands, Spratly Islands, and Diaoyutai Islands claimed by the ROC while administered by Japan as Senkaku Islands. Omitting the supplemental 2 digits to write 3 digits is ordinarily okay, but a correct 5-digit code will speed up the mails.
The left-hand digit is for a large postal zone as follows:
- 0 Unused
- 1 Taipei City
- 2 Keelung City, Taipei County, Yilan County, Lienchiang County (Matsu), Diaoyutai Islands
- 3 Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, Taoyuan County, Miaoli County
- 4 Taichung City, Taichung County
- 5 Changhua City, Nantou County
- 6 Chiayi City, Chiayi County, Yunlin County
- 7 Tainan City, Tainan County
- 8 Kaohsiung City, Kaohsiung County, Penghu County, Pratas Islands, Spratly Islands
- 9 Pingtung County, Taitung County, Hualien County
[edit] Turkey
Turkey postcodes are five numeric characters in length.First two digits are the same with province code in ISO 3166-2:TR(also first two digits of car licence codes). For example; postcodes of areas in Istanbul begins with 34. Last three digits represent the area in that province. Search Postcodes in Turkey
[edit] United Kingdom
UK postcodes are alphanumeric and between six and eight characters in length (including a single space character used to separate the outward and inward parts of the code). For example the post code for the House of Commons is SW1A 0AA. These codes were introduced by the Royal Mail over a fifteen year period from 1959 to 1974. They have been widely adopted not just for their original purpose of automating the sorting of mail but for many other purposes — see for example The UK Postcode Lottery. In particular, the EH4 postcode is favoured in the UK, due to recent statistics.
However, as the format of the codes does not achieve its objective of primarily identifying the main sorting office and sub-office they have been supplemented by a newer system of five digit codes called Mailsort. Mail users who can deliver mail to the post office sorted by mailsort code receive discounts, whilst delivery by postcode does not provide any incentive.
[edit] United States
The United States uses 5-digit numeric "ZIP codes". Since 1983, the US Postal Service has been promoting an extended version called "ZIP+4", which adds a hyphen and 4 additional digits following the main ZIP code to identify a smaller geographical area or single large entity.

Preserving Family Photos
By Sunny Jane Morton
Learn how to rescue and preserve your family photos for future generations.
Our ancestors didn't live forever, but our pictures of them can. Well, maybe not forever, but a well-cared-for photograph can last many generations longer than the person who posed for it. The key is care. And despite genealogists' love for our photos, we often don't give them the care they need.
For starters, it's not the passage of time that ages our photos—it's what they're stored in. "The containers you use for your photos can cause more of a problem than they solve," says Sally Jacobs, the
Practical Archivist
. "Acidic paper [like from cardboard boxes] will leach acids into whatever is in direct contact with it. Keep acidic paper away from your photos whenever possible. Sticky magnetic albums are in even more dire straits because the overlay is often made of an unstable material called polyvinyl chloride, or PVC."

In the past, we've heard rumors that it would be here in time for Valentine's Day, but most recently, it was reported to have been delayed until February 24th. Regardless, the dummies might be showing off the handset's intended release date – which of course, is right there out in the open as February 14th.
Nevertheless, it would be almost unlikely for Big Red to shell out more money on getting new dummies with the correct date – if it indeed alludes to that.
So if Monday arrives and we're all still out in the dark about the HTC Thunderbolt, don't be too alarmed because it shouldn't be long before February 24th rolls along.
Thanks Alex!

Citation: Anderson, C.B., Hughes, S.O., Fuemmeler, B.F. 2007. Child physical activity and parent-child attitude congruence of athletic competence and activity type [abstract]. Annals of Behavioral Medicine. 33(Suppl):S201. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Our purpose was to evaluate parental influence on child physical activity (PA) through parental beliefs on child competence and importance of specific types of PA. Utilizing Eccles' expectancy-value model of task choice, the study examined parent-child attitude congruence and whether task value beliefs for organized team (e.g., basketball)or individually performed PA/sports (e.g., running, swimming, walking) were better predictors of PA than competency beliefs. Structural equation modeling (LISREL 8.7) was used to examine cross sectional responses from 645 parents (63.0% F, 58.8% white, 26.2% Hisp) and 433 children (53.5% F, 9.9 yrs). PA was assessed by the PAQ-C, number team and individual PA/sports in last year. Latent-variable path analyses by child-gender showed stronger associations between parent and child beliefs on competence and value of both team and individual PA/sports for boys than girls. In models for value of team sports, value was more strongly related to PA (est a =.74) in girls than competency (est a =.53), while they were more equal predictors in boys (est ac = 57, est av =.51). In models for value of individually performed PA/sports, competency was more strongly related to PA (est a =.60) in girls than value (est a =.31), while the opposite was true for boys(est ac =.57, est av =.70). Child beliefs on competency and value of team sports completely mediated the direct effect of parental beliefs in boys and girls (boys' indirect parental effects: est ac =.24, est av =.20; girls' indirect parental effects: est ac =.12, est av =.28), while mediation effects for value of individual sports were found only for boys (boys' indirect parental effects: est av =.24). Effects of parental and child beliefs on competency and importance of doing PA depended on child gender and whether the PA was performed in a team context. While competency contributed substantially to PA in boys and girls, value of team sports in girls and value of activities outside of an organized team in boys were more highly related to PA.

Sun Ra's Omniverse
Listen to Sun Ra's complete January 7th, 1981 Whitney Museum concert, broadcast on WNYC.
This rare recording was part of a three-day festival that also included performances by the composers Steve Reich and Louise Talma. Listen to the entire show as well as an interview where Sun Ra talks about jazz improvisation and his own unique approach to music making.
Sun Ra was certainly one of the more colorful characters in the history of Jazz. His band, the Space Research Humanitarian Myth Science Arkestra, put forward music in a wide range of styles, from ellingtonia and blues to avant-garde electronica. Live performances were often multimedia events that included dance, magic tricks, home movie projection, and Ra's unmistakable otherworldly costuming.
The title of Ra's 1979 album Omniverse (premiered as a live piece at the Whitney later that evening) refers both to the Persian word for Sun, Om, and the Latin root Omni, meaning all or everything. His band's name, Arkestra, references Sun Ra's cyclical cosmology (the word starts with AR and ends with RA —the beginning is the end). The name is also a reference to Noah's Ark: to Sun Ra, music, like the Ark, is the great vehicle which moves people in the direction of greater cosmic unity.
WNYC's original broadcast of Sun Ra's concert was part of a series at the Whitney Museum of American Art called Composers' Showcase. The series began in a small gallery in Soho in the early 1960s but quickly grew in popularity and in 1968 relocated to the museum, where it remained for the next 20 years. Composer, author, and promoter Charles Schwartz spearheaded the Whitney series, whose participants include a veritable who's who of 20th century jazz and New Music: Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, and Cecil Taylor in 1969; Iannis Xenakis in 1971; Terry Riley in 1973; and Rhys Chatham in 1981, among many others. Even Duke Ellington played a show with a trio, in 1972.

New figures have revealed that the influx of migrants from Eastern Europe has helped English become the second language at one in nine schools.
According to the campaigners, the figures highlight the strain that the schools are going through to educate the 1.1 million kids who speak in another tongue, Daily Star reported.
Anastasia De Waal, from think-tank Civitas, said that the problem of resources risked damaging youngsters' education.
She said that in too many cases their schools are simply not set up to accommodate very high proportions of kids who start school without fluent English.
De Waal said that those who lose out most in this scenario are these very pupils, as they don't receive adequate opportunities to develop their English language skills, and are therefore at risk of going through the education at a significant disadvantage. (ANI)

What the fic? Plots thicken as fan-written stories proliferate on the Internet

|What the fic? Plots thicken as fan-written stories proliferate on the Internet

The article describes a story example at Godawful Fan Fiction and then says that "not everything in the fan fiction universe is bad. Despite an unending supply of smutty fantasies with bizarre misspellings, tortured grammar and no character development [...], there's well-regarded stuff out there. For instance, some of it uses the Harry Potter novels—by far the most popular subject, with nearly 262,000 stories on the Internet fic hub www.Fanfiction.net—as a jumping-off point to examine relationship dilemmas and moral quandaries."Simply put, fan fiction is writing in which the author spins off a new storyline based on established characters. Although it has roots that go back decades, it is largely a phenomenon spawned by the Internet and "fanzines," magazines aimed at fans of a specific cultural phenomenon, such as the original Star Trek. Much of fan fiction—or "fanfic" or "fic," as it's often called—appears to be based on characters from television, but it can be written about anything that accumulates a loyal following—from books to anime, movies to video games, Broadway musicals to professional wrestling.
Alison Evans, the author of the dissertation The Global Playground: Fan Fiction in Cyberspace, gives some insight into the fanfic phenomenon, there is the obligatory Henry Jenkins quote, and a fanfic author explains why she writes fanfiction.The article assumes that the "stereotypical image of a fan.fic reader is that of a tubby, balding man living in his parents' basement" and quickly corrects this misconception ("anecdotal evidence suggests that most fic readers are women"). It also features a glossary, talks about professional author fanfic policies ("Anne Rice and Anne McCaffrey, actively seek out fanfic Web sites and try to get them shut down, [...] Most writers, however—including Potter author J.K. Rowling—range from tolerant of to tickled by their mainstream Internet following") and gives a nod to the long history of fanfiction:
Linked fanfic sites include Fictionalley.org and TheForce.net. The listed glossary terms include definitions for Alternate Universe, Canon, Crossover, Fanon, Genfic, Mary Sue, Mature readers only, Ship, Slash and Suethor.In the 1960s, Star Trek fans began cranking out underground fanzines, many of which were dedicated to an imagined love affair between Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. Those stories argue that the real romance on the Enterprise was between Kirk and Spock rather than Kirk and the cadre of one-episode stands who populated the series. (Since then, fanfic that explores same-sex relationships has been called "slash" because of how those Kirk and Spock stories were denoted by authors: Kirk/Spock.) As the genre has grown in size and popularity, some of it even has been legitimized. Geraldine Brooks' March, the imagined adventures of the absent father in Little Women, took the National Book Award this year. And Jean Rhys' 1966 novel Wide Sargasso Sea is the back story of Rochester's mad wife from Jane Eyre. Author Gregory Maguire has made a career out of fanfic, basing books on the untold stories of The Wizard of Oz (his books Wicked and Son of a Witch), Cinderella (Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister) and Snow White (Mirror Mirror).

My 90 Seville is handling kinda strange.
1. On acceleration it waddles a little
2. It wants to pull a little to the right.
3. At low RPM and at 25 to 30 MPH, man the thing rocks like crazy. (engine mounts appear OK, movement under the hood is minimal).
4. Slowing down to a stop I hear a growling sound.
5. Acceleration, deceleration, acceleration, results with a clunking similar to a bad u-joint. (no noise)
6. Parked you can rock the car a good foot or more with no effort.
7. When turning or even veering a little to the right I can hear a light squeak.
I replaced the front hub bearings and the tie rods, ball joints and brakes are good, as well as the CV boots.
Any advice is welcome

Lambda Legal Optimistic That Same-Sex Couples in New Jersey Will Soon Be Able to Marry
Find Your State
Know the laws in your state that protect LBGT people and people living with HIV.

"Marriage equality in New Jersey is a matter of when—not if."
February 16, 2012
(Trenton, February 16, 2012) - Today, the New Jersey General Assembly voted to pass the marriage equality bill to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage in the state. The New Jersey Senate passed the bill earlier this week. Lambda Legal urges Governor Christie to allow the bill to become law or asks that legislators override his veto, if necessary.
Lambda Legal Executive Director, Kevin Cathcart made the following statement:
"Today New Jersey's General Assembly rose above the political fray and did right by New Jersey's families. Governor Christie should follow their lead - but if he doesn't, legislators should continue to stand for equality and override his veto.
"Marriage equality in New Jersey is a matter of when—not if. New Jersey should choose to join the right side of history soon, because loving same-sex couples and their families should not have to wait any longer.
"We believe there are many paths to justice, and Lambda Legal continues to fight for marriage equality in the courts on behalf of seven same-sex couples, Garden State Equality, and all families in New Jersey. When Lambda Legal filed our first New Jersey marriage equality lawsuit in 2002, we knew we were all in for a long struggle. We have never stopped fighting for the rights of same-sex couples and their families in New Jersey while our colleagues advocate for justice in the legislature. Today we are optimistic that same-sex couples in New Jersey will be able to marry soon.
"It takes a lot of people working together to make history. We congratulate our colleagues at Garden State Equality, the courageous legislators who voted for equality, and all the advocates and allies across New Jersey who worked so hard for this victory."

Beautiful property with very kind owners
The houses are 600 years old and beautifully renovated to maintain its full charm. The grounds are exceptionally well maintained. The people are kind, warm and very helpful. Extremely well located. Close to everything.
Wonderful holiday
This was a one week stay with two adults and one teenager. We were in the ground floor apartment with patio. The accomodation was exactly as described and we were delighted with the layout and decoration. It was great to have the pool in the grounds of the estate. The gardens were a lovely place to relax after a day out in the city. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the holiday. We would definitely return here when we visit Florence again.
very pleasant, very convenient
The location is great if you want to visit Florence but don't want to stay in Florence. Great with dogs.

You may recall that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating the Cruze in April over engine fires and then last month expanded its investigation to include 370,000 vehicles spanning two model years. The official recall announced today affects 413,418 Cruzes for the 2011 and 2012 model years that were built in the United States through May 2012. That includes every Cruze built so far at the company's Lordstown, OH assembly plant through the end of last month.
GM is also simultaneously executing a second, smaller recall on up to 249 Cruzes that may have partially completed welds in their trunks.
This is not the first time that nearly every Cruze sold to the public has been recalled. In May 2011, GM recalled the Cruze to inspect each unit's intermediate steering shaft covers to ensure they were properly installed.
DETROIT – General Motors will recall 413,418 Chevrolet Cruzes in the United States for the 2011 and 2012 model years to modify the engine shield under the vehicle. This change will help prevent any liquids from being trapped in the engine compartment, where a fire could start and spread.
In a separate safety recall, GM will inspect certain cars included in the first recall to assure all welds in the rear compartment were properly applied. Omitted or partially completed welds in up to 249 cars may affect the fuel tank strap secondary brackets attachment to the floor structure and a sub assembly to the rear floor pan.
There are no known crashes, injuries or fatalities related to either recall. Only Cruzes built in Lordstown, Ohio, and sold in the United States and Canada and several hundred exported to Israel are affected.
"The most important thing for our customers to know is that we are proactively working to assure the Cruze is the safe and durable car they purchased," said GM vice president of Global Quality Alicia Boler-Davis. "We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by these actions."
All Cruzes with manual and automatic transmissions built in the United States from September 2010 through May 2012 are included in the engine shield modification.
Improper engine oil change procedures on these vehicles can result in the spilling or dripping of oil. If oil contacts hot engine or exhaust system surfaces, and the engine shield, the shield may ignite and burn, resulting in a possible engine compartment fire.
In Cruzes with manual transmissions, continuing to drive with a completely worn clutch may cause hydraulic fluid to be expelled from the clutch housing vent hole. Under certain circumstances, the fluid could be burning as it exits the vent hole. If it contacts the engine shield, the shield may ignite and a fire may spread to the engine compartment.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary investigation in April of this year as a result of two engine compartment fires in 2011 model year Cruzes and later added the 2012 model year.
Modifying the engine shield will take about 30 minutes in a Chevrolet dealership service department and will be conducted free of charge. No parts are involved and customers are encouraged to make an appointment with their dealer at their earliest convenience. Owner letters will mailed be beginning July 11. Inspection for the possible missing welds takes only a few minutes. In confirmed cases, the repair would take about three hours.

|| Confusing Problem When Interfacing Through OBDII ||
So today I drove down to EAS, who continually amaze me in customer service:), and we tried to reflash my car's computer so that I could roll up the windows from the key.
Tom, plugged his USA/Euro car programmer into my OBDII plug and was able to read a couple fault codes and clear those, but was not able to access my car's computer. An error came up for every type of interface he tried. For some reason my car's computer is not letting him in to change certain things, although it should let him in.
The only I've changed recently is the installation of a Double Din head unit (AVIC F90bt) but I don't really see how that could be related.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!
nobody? Really wish I could get this figured out.
Did you try through the 20-pin underhood connector?
Also, if the 20-pin connector hood is missing or unscrewed, the OBD2 plug under the dash will not communicate with the ECU.
NickG for president!
Thanks for your help! And I'll vote for you when you run for president!

The best cuts of beef to use when stir-frying are sirloin steaks, top sirloin steaks, boneless top loin steaks, tenderloin steaks and rib-eye steaks.
Before cutting beef into strips, place it in the freezer for about 30 min. The meat will firm up, making it easier to cut.
Nobody will guess that this tasty low-calorie meal is also low in sodium. And as a bonus, the colorful carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A.

Studying in a different country and culture is an invaluable intellectual and personal experience, and the Psychology Department encourages students to consider studying abroad either during the academic year or summer. In past years, our students have studied in places such as Australia, Spain, Italy, the UK, France, Switzerland, Fiji, Cyprus, Chile and Botswana, and many have received concentration credit.
Steps for Studying Out of Residence:
1. Visit the Office of International Education (OIE) to find a program in the country of your choice and to learn about college procedures for applying to study abroad.
2. Look at your chosen programs to determine what kinds of opportunities and courses they offer. Be sure to see if there are courses you are interested in taking. You do not have to take courses that count for concentration credit, but can if you wish (see Step 3 below). Apply to the programs themselves directly by their deadlines and also request approval of transfer credit from Harvard by Sept 30, 2016 for Spring 2017 study abroad, and by Mar 1, 2017 for Fall 2017 or academic year 2017-18 study abroad. Do this by clicking on the "Request Transfer Credit" button under the program listing on the OIE's programs page.
3. Make an appointment with Laura Chivers in the Psychology UGO to discuss your plans by Sept 30, 2016 for spring 2016 study out of residence, and by Mar 1, 2017 for summer 2017, fall 2017, or full-year 2017-2018 study out of residence. This meeting is required even if you do not want concentration credit for your coursework abroad. Include in this email what countries you are considering, and whether you are hoping for psychology credit.
If you are requesting concentration credit, email Laura Chivers in advance if possible or bring copies of syllabi or course descriptions with you to this meeting. In some cases, we will approve courses automatically (see list of pre-approved courses); there are a small section of courses that we have approved for concentrators in past semesters. Courses not on this list may be petitioned, and must meet the requirements for a petitioned course. In most circumstances, we will not approve courses for specific requirements (Introductory Course, Foundational Courses, Basic or Advanced Methods, tutorial), but are happy to consider courses for psychology Advanced Course credit, either departmental or non-departmental.Typically we are able to work with students to find a course that will count for concentration credit in most countries. You will have an easier time finding courses that can count in institutions with strong psychology departments, and in countries such as Australia, the UK, and France.
Please note that psychology does not grant secondary field credit for courses taken out of residence.
4. Once abroad, send course changes to Laura Chivers and upload them to the OIE for approval. Often other institutions' course offerings change at the beginning of a semester, and if you would like to substitute a new psychology course for one previously approved (or add a psychology course even if you had originally not requested any concentration credit), you should e-mail Laura Chivers a syllabus for the new course as soon as possible so we can determine if the new course can count toward the concentration. We will get a decision on the course back to you as soon as possible, but please get us the material as soon as you can. You will also need to upload all your courses to the OIE portal. Please complete these steps before you take the course, rather than when you return to Harvard.
Special Considerations for Thesis Writers:
If you plan to write a thesis, you will need to coordinate your study abroad with your thesis planning schedule. You may even want to go abroad in sophomore spring, although junior fall is common for thesis writers. You are urged to consult our Thesis website and are welcome to speak to your Concentration Adviser and Danielle Truxaw about these facets of thesis preparation. The main concerns will be a lab methods course, Psychology 1901, Psychology 985, and the thesis application, as described below:
Lab Methods: You should work in a lab as early as possible in order to help locate a potential thesis topic and thesis supervisor. The course requirement must be met before studying abroad in junior year.
Psychology 1901: You must take Psychology 1901 before the start of your senior year. Currently, the course is offered both semesters, so in most cases you will be able to take the course as a junior. You may also consider taking it the spring of your sophomore year.
Psychology 985: This junior pre-thesis tutorial is an optional but strongly recommended course that most honors students take as a concentration elective. The course can be taken either in the fall or spring.
Thesis Application: The application is submitted in the spring of the junior year, and requires you to have a thesis supervisor and a thesis prospectus (for details, see the Thesis pages). If you go abroad in the spring, we advise you to submit your application before you leave or while abroad via e-mail.

This would have to be more in a "Firmware" forum than the "Bus" one, but there's no such section, and there has been a lot of firmware dicsussion in the original Bus thread...
Anyway, I have a Gopro HD that got bricked a couple of months ago during a firmware upgrade due to a silly mistake from me, and which doesn't turn on anymore at all (at least in a visible manner). I contacted GoPro support, who after (few) support steps advised me to send the camera in for support. I was hoping for a procedure to reflash it through some kind of bootloader instead of doing it from the main application like the "standard" way does, but it seems such a method doesn't exist.
I can't send my camera in as it was heavily modified, with an integrated 2.4GHz wireless video transmitter, and a PIC that I was using to automate the Live video out procedure before the firmware upgrade allowing it came out... They'd probably have a good laugh seeing this:
So as I just found these discussions and have nothing to lose anyway (already have another camera) I wired up the UART, and checked the output:

This does indeed look like a corrupted image, unfortunately it seems to be quite early in the startup process. After this output the camera freezes, and it's necessary to remove the battery to retry. No response to the shell obviously.

hoping that the script interpreter would read it before the crash, but unfortunately it doesn't seem so, UART output is identical.
Does anyone have an idea on how to revive it, experimented with the JTAG port or something else?

The slick lobby in Illycaffe's head office is a lively blend of gallery, museum, store and – this being Italy – bar. I stroll up to the counter with Andrea Illy, the company's dapper chief executive officer and co-owner, and we could be stuffed into a street bar anywhere in this coffee-mad country. The espresso machine hisses to the clinking sounds of china cups. The patrons – Illy employees and their guests – are jabbering away, producing the pleasant cacophony of Italian life.
Mr. Illy and I have just finished lunch upstairs and the requisite post-meal caffe is in order. "Espresso?" he asks, and I respond: "Si, ma per me espresso macchiato, grazie."
Within a second, I realize my mistake. I had just ordered an espresso cut with a few drops of frothy warm milk: "Macchiato" means "stained."
The addition of milk is not to every Italian's taste and it certainly is not to Mr. Illy's. You see, he considers his coffee the finest blend on the planet and millions of coffee drinkers from Canada to China would agree. To him, sloshing milk into espresso is like sloshing Coca-Cola into champagne.
He gives me a slightly condescending look. "It's not a pure coffee experience with milk," he says, as I knock back my polluted little espresso, suddenly a guilty pleasure.
Which is why I assume Mr. Illy is not a fan of Starbucks' coffee products, which are typically drowning in milk and often laced with caramel, peppermint, cinnamon and other confections that would make an Italian burst into an aria of pain. But I know he is a great fan of Starbucks as a shop, because he says so. "They have been terrific as a retailer," he says. "Their soul is of a retailer. Their coffee? I prefer Illy."
He is such a fan of the coffeehouse retail concept that Illy is undergoing its most radical change in its 79-year history: It is becoming a business-to-consumer company – that is, it is focusing on the retail side of business. In the past, Illy largely existed as a business-to-business company, supplying coffee to hotels, supermarkets and independent coffee outlets.
Illy already has 400 Illy-branded shops, including one in Toronto, and the goal is to double that number within five years. Mr. Illy knows he will never truly compete with Starbucks, which has almost 18,000 outlets. Nor does he want to. "If we want to grow so big, we would have to compromise on the quality of the coffee," he says. "Our real goal is more social than business. We want to create a community of people – stakeholders – who are really proud of what they do, rather than just generating profits for shareholders."
Clever investigative journalist that I am, I decide to visit an Illy caffe in the centre of Trieste, before my lunch with Mr. Illy.
Trieste is in Italy's extreme northeast, by the Slovenian and Croatian frontiers. In the 19th century, it was the main naval port of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In the early part of the last century, it was a thriving industrial and cultural town, a sort of Vienna by the Adriatic, and attracted the likes of Sigmund Freud and James Joyce. Italy annexed Trieste after the First World War.
A faded beauty, Trieste today is better known as the unofficial coffee capital of Italy, the one big European market that Starbucks has been unable to penetrate, in spite of on-again, off-again efforts for about 15 years. While Mr. Illy thinks Starbucks will inevitably make its Italian play, even Illy finds the market exceedingly crowded.
The Illy caffe I visit certainly has its work cut out for it. Within a couple of hundred metres, there must be a dozen competitors. Italy has one coffee shop for every 400 people; in the United States, the figure is one for every 20,000. The Illy shop is a sleek little study in white and chocolate brown.
While I sip my espresso, one of the two baristas writes the menu on a chalk board; unlike many caffes, you can get a hot lunch at an Illy. The row of small white angular tables are empty – no one is taking advantage of the free WiFi. The patrons are all clustered together like grapes at the bar itself. The noise level is high. The place feels like a meld of coffee bar, restaurant and club. I like it.Report Typo/Error

SAO, PAULO – Want to cheat on your partner? Then the online dating service Ashley Madison is the perfect place for you.
Since it arrived in Brazil 15 months ago, the website has attracted 1 million lusty Brazilians, turning this South American country of 194 million people into one of the biggest markets for the Canadian company.
Created 10 years ago, Ashley Madison and its slogan — "Life is short. Have an affair" — is now present in 24 countries, with 8 million members in the United States and 6 million in Canada.
But Brazil has seen the firm's most explosive growth in terms of number of clients — 70 percent of whom are men — and in money spent to finance the temptations the site offers.
"Brazilians have a very strong propensity for pleasure, sex and fun," said Eduardo Borges, the company's representative in this body-conscious country famous for its exuberant samba dancing and carnival. "Add to this a fascination for technology, for communicating and meeting other people."
The South American country has around 80 million Internet users and is among world leaders in the use of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
This provides a combination which, according to Borges, does not promote infidelity but offers alternatives to practice it in a "proper manner."
Knowhow is precisely the basis for Ashley Madison's marketing appeal, including references to famous cases of infidelity such as those of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Prince Charles.
"We started in Brazil in late August 2011. I expected 500,000 subscribers in a year, but we got more than 800,000. And we are going to close 2012 with more than 1 million, a much bigger growth than what we anticipated," Borges added.
With 17 million subscribers worldwide, the website will gross $120 million this year, but Borges would not say how much is generated in Brazil.
"Brazil is our second-largest market in terms of income," he said, adding that before the end of the year, the company hopes to open an office in Sao Paulo, the first outside Canada. "Brazil is the apple of our eye."
There are many other leading dating sites in Brazil such as eHarmony or Second Love.
Ashley Madison was created with women in mind. They do not pay to subscribe or make contacts with men, who are the ones who must pay to send emails, chat messages, draw hearts or use other techniques of virtual seduction. Its business model is based on credits rather than monthly subscriptions.
For a conversation between two members, one of the members must pay five credits to initiate the conversation. Any followup messages between the two members are free after the communication has been initiated.
A pack of 100 credits, which allows a man to contact 20 women on average, costs $25.
Bare chest pictures, faces with piercing looks, adjectives such as "sensitive and affectionate, creative and adventurous," anything goes.
"Send me a picture?" wrote one subscriber named "Guto." He claimed to have been married for 21 years, said he joined the site in March and bought 4,000 credits.
"I spent more than I wanted, but I got a few contacts. So far I have had two cases of casual sex, pretty good experiences," he crowed.
To mark its first year in Brazil, Ashley Madison launched "Lover guaranteed," a program offering the money-back guarantee of an affair. "So far no one has asked for their money back," said Borges.

Basketball Doubleheader Thursday
Women Host 2nd Place Fairfield, Men Host 1st Place Niagara
LAWRENCEVILLE-Two of the top teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference come to town Thursday for a basketball doubleheader.
The Rider women host second place Fairfield at 5pm and the Rider men host first place Niagara at 7:30.
Both games in the newly refurbished Alumni Gymnasium can be seen on the BroncSportsNetwork, with live video streaming on BroncVison and live stats on GameViewer.
Tickets can be purchased online by clicking the "TicketLeap" link in this story or in person on game day at the ticket window in the lobby of Alumni Gymnasium. The ticket booth will open at 4 p.m. for Thursday's double dip.
The Rider women (10-11, 5-5 MAAC) have won three of their last four games, including a 69-57 victory at Fairfield January 27. In that game junior MyNeshia McKenzie compiled 19 points and 12 rebounds, leading Rider to its MAAC-best seventh win on the road.
The Rider men (12-12, 7-5 MAAC) are coming off a road victory of their own, a 64-53 victory at Marist on Sunday. The Rider men have won six of their last nine games.
The Niagara Purple Eagles (14-9, 10-2 MAAC) won seven straight games before losing in double overtime to second place Loyola on February 2. It was Niagara's second straight overtime game, having defeated second place Iona 93-90 on January 31.
Niagara is led by three sophomore guards; Antoine Mason, who is averaging 18.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, Juan'ya Green, who is adding 16.7 points per game, and Ameen Tanksley, who is contributing 10.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
The Fairfield women (13-8, 7-3 MAAC) have won six of their last eight games and are led by a pair of 6'1" junior forwards, Katie Cizynski and Brittany Obi-Tabot, who are combining for 23.5 points and 13.9 rebounds per game.
Fairfield has won six of the last seven meetings with Rider.
Niagara has not won in Alumni Gym since the 2006-07 season. Rider has won five of the last six games with Niagara and seven of the last 10.
The last time Rider and Niagara met the game ended in controversy, with the host Purple Eagles winning 84-82. Jonathon Thompson hit a three-point shot at the buzzer that was said to be late after a review of the instant replay system. What the replay system failed to show, however, was that when Rider inbounded the ball to start the final play, the clock started too soon. The referees received a one game suspension from their next MAAC assignment for failure to note the game clock starting early and the Niagara Game Clock Operator & Replay System Operator received public reprimand from the league office for failure to manage the game clock and replay system in the expected manner.
When Niagara visited Rider last year the Broncs came back from a 17-point second half deficit to win 74-73 on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Rider women continue to be led by McKenzie, who is fifth in the MAAC in scoring (13.6 ppg) and leads the MAAC in rebounding (10.0 per game).
The Rider men are led by Thompson and juniors Daniel Stewart and Anthony Myles. The trio combines for 34.6 points and 15.2 rebounds per game. Thompson is fourth in the MAAC in three-point field goal percentage, fifth in overall field goal percentage and sixth in the conference in steals and assist-turnover ratio. Stewart is sixth in the MAAC in rebounding and field goal percentage.
On Saturday the Rider men and women travel to New Rochelle, NY to take on Iona in a doubleheader broadcast on ESPN3.
