Thread: Downgrade iPhone 4 from ios 5.1 to 5.0.1 preserving baseband
03-10-2012, 03:00 AM #1Downgrade iPhone 4 from ios 5.1 to 5.0.1 preserving baseband
Hi guys, Hope to help someone. I upgraded to 5.1 from 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4. I instantly had a signal problem. I preserved my baseband 01.59.00 and this was the problem with the signal. It seems i had a signal and was able to get 3g data and calls but the signal indicator stayed at 1 bar. never went higher. It even had no bars sometimes and still worked. I'm using a straight talk cellular sim card that leases the att network towers. (for those of you with locked iPhones this is the answer for you since the straight talk att sim works on locked iPhones even the 4s for $45 per month unlimited and 3g speeds, but thats another thread, google it if your interested) back to the downgrade process.
Note: I used a custom baseband preserved firmware to upgrade to 5.1 you can downgrade the firmware but not your baseband.
Note: I tried this with a Windows PC and could not stitch the SHSH blob to the custom ISPW with preserved baseband so I'm not sure you can do this with Windows.
Note: you must have your SHSH blobs saved to do downgrade. If you dont this will not work. You should always save SHSH blobs.
Step 1. Download the latest redsn0w 0.9.10b6 here or google redsn0w 0.9.10b6 its not hard to find
Step 2. Download ios 5.0.1 firmware for iphone 4 GSM here
step 6. Open redsn0w and click the button that says "Extras" everything else
step 3. Click the Custom IPSW / preserve baseband with a custom IPSW button
step 4. choose the downloaded 5.0.1 firmware and it will make a custom firmware without the baseband upgrade, the file will start with NO_BB_Iphone, redsnow will let you know where its saved
step 5. go back to the extras menu on redsn0w
step 7. Click "SHSH blobs" Fetch, verify or use SSH blobs
step 8. this step may vary depending on where you have your 5.0.1 SHSH blobs saved. I save mine with Tiny Umbrella so all i had to do was click "Stitch" and choose the 5.0.1 firmware that was just made. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE ONE THAT SAYS NO_BB IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG FIRMWARE HERE YOU WILL BE SCREWED then choose your 5.0.1 SHSH blob. You may need to "Query" and get your blobs from cydia if you need more help on this i'm sure google can help or just post here and i'll explain.
you just used the custom firmware that has no baseband upgrade and stitched your SHSH blob to it
step 9. go back to extras in redsnow
step 10. place phone in DFU mode
Step 11. open itunes, it will give you a popup that says your iphone needs to get restored just dismis it
step 12. hold the option key on you mac and while holding the option key click the restore button. you can then choose the file you made and restore. the file will start with numbers and have the NO_BB in it. looks like this XXXXXXXXXXXXX_NO_BB_iPhone3,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore
Thats it. you DO NOT have to edit hosts files or start tiny umbrella to do the restore. it will just work because you stitched your SHSH blob to the firmware. If you get an error after restore and get the connect to iTunes icon just use tiny umbrella to fix recovery and try to restore in DFU mode again.
After I restored and jailbroke i still had very bad signal bars. I installed Ultrasn0w and now my signal strength is back. (i get 5 bars since I have a micro cell in my house) I'm sure this is caused by using the old 01.59.00 baseband without unlocking it. Although that makes no sense to me. I have always used Ultrasn0w to unlock after a custom restore. since i was with Tmobile. But this time since Ultrasn0w was not available yet and I didn't need the unlock because straight Talk does not need to be unlocked to work i had terrible signal or bad signal bars who knows. So I figure if i did a regular upgrade with a baseband upgrade it would of had good signal but i need my unlock since i travel.
Anyways hope this helps someone cause it just saved my iPhone from a full upgrade into the trash.
I Have another problem, slightly different, i have no ios 5.0.1 shsh blob
and i wanted to restore to ios 5.0.1 which i am currently running since my cydia disappeared on me.
however, i keep getting errors 3194 but using TinyUmb i was able to bypass it.
Now i'm receiving error 11. I googled it told me to change the ipsw to zip file and delete the BBFW file.
I did tht but error 11 is still there. Any solution?
As far as I know there is no way to downgrade without your blob. I tried to downgrade a few different ways using tiny umbrella even changing hosts file but no go. The only way that worked was stitching my blob to the custom IPSW and then it downgraded. if you had cydia installed it may have saved your blobs, try to fetch them using redsn0w or ifaith if your using windows.
03-14-2012, 09:40 AM #4Thanks!
It works.
My situation was that I'm using it for tmobile, 1.59 baseband and 5.0.1 firmware and my phone was acting weird and cydia wouldn't open and I also started losing service. I tried restoring with a custom ipws but kept getting errors, even with tiny umbrella. after fetching from my phone and using that plist to stitch to the new ipsw that i created with Redsn0w, iTunes let me restore without any problems. THANKS FOR THE HELP GREATLY appreciate it.

Advertisement It's really a testament to how impressive-if-horrifying this kind of face-swapping technology has gotten. As we scan across the faces of the BRB Trio, the facial expressions of Brady and Revis are so realistic, so lifelike, that it's almost as if we're seeing the original articles, only with long Disney-Pop hairdos.That is until we pan to Belichick. Now we know why he never smiles: somehow looking so happy makes that face seem even more demented and terrifying. Advertisement Via Naly_DReply17 repliesLeave a reply

*EDIT*: As at May 2012, The Montpellier Public House is closed for business.
happy eating!
Many of my favourite things are on this list. I'll start with dessert - I LOVE Eton mess and my son has been bugging us to make meringues, so done. I love the sound of the foie gras scotch eggs - I have some foie gras in my fridge, a gift from a wonderful French friend.
When I have a day off, I usually go food shopping, to the places I rarely visit, as well as bookstores. I ought to add visiting restaurants to the list! Stay well dearie
I am very very keen to try Montpellier. The $35 deal seems the perfect way to give Matt's new baby a go. I must admit on my days off, my perfect day would start with a sleep in, but then lunch somewhere with friends, yup, perfect day off. Oh and I would have eaten so much over lunch that the boys would have to fend for themselves for dinner ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG!! this is sooo freaky!!!! My bf literally just emailed that we should try this place out because its kinda like London Pub food. I come on to stalk your blog and Voila!!! its about the same place!! AWESOMENESS!!! and gees i was gonna go for the sunday roasts but Damn!! $35 for a lunch... hehehe maybe a cheeky weekday meal would be better... although i need to take a day off first! lol
ReplyDeleteHey Bel, seriously good value, isn't it? Expected smaller serves of food actually.
Hey retrodaze, I know, if only Montpellier was closer to me haha.
Hey Tina, I'm not sure whether it spills into upstairs if downstairs fills up, but that's where we were seated on the day.
Hey Trish, that's often my "style" of lunch too! =(
Hey Kitchen Butterfly, I didn't discover Eton Mess until I was an adult but it's the best way to salvage a failed pavlova!
Hey Anna, I know, and things are so much quieter and more relaxed on a weekday too! Makes you feel like you're on "proper" holidays =D
Hey Dumpling Girl, the pie was glorious!
Hey gastronomous anonymous, scotched eggs are the best! Especially when you don't have to face making a whole batch of them yourself =p
Hey Cass, shiny chocolate sauce always looks sooo luxurious!
Hey Lau, haha Eton Mess was the husband's choice and the profiteroles mine, however we always taste test each other's food.
Hey Sara, it's all about leaving your usual obligations behind, isn't it?
Hey Gourmet Getaways, we pretty much didn't have dinner that night...
Hey JasmyneTea, have yet to try dinner here but lunch is exceptional value.
Hey Fiona, so tender!
Hey Daisy, I don't eat enough pork pies, I tells ya!
Hey Food is our religion, or a Friday team lunch here would be nice, hey?
Hey Maureen, definitely worth trying!
Hey the dainty baker, if only I could make more time to indulge in lunch specials!
Hey Gastronomy Gal, it was a long-awaited trip!
Hey vintagemacaroon, I'd like to go back again actually...
Hey missklicious, we need more sunshine! And days off work to enjoy food like this =)

Quality Forage Production
This course is intended for people actively engaged in the cropping end of the dairy business. The course includes 4 lectures and 1 on-farm field day. We will start by discussing a systems approach to the farm management, and then delve into how to maximize quality and yield from management and nutrition perspective.
Topic focus includes maximizing forage yields by setting realistic yield goals, optimizing fertility, varietal selection, planting and harvesting management, as well as the importance of early pest control, picking the right seed, soil fertility, and harvest and storage management affects quality.
We will provide information and guidelines on managing forage pests. This classroom session will qualify attendees for 2 DEC credits as an added bonus. Insects, diseases, and weeds of corn, and alfalfa.
The module will highlight forage storage including bunk fill management, packing techniques, management of forage while in storage, managing inventories, nutrition and its importance in dairy cow rotation, factors affecting palatability and digestibility, trends occurring in forage feeding, and profitability.
The on-farm visit is usually every attendee's favorite session. The hands-on application of classroom materials provides great experiences. This on-farm field day will teach scouting techniques, educate on forage samples (measuring TMRs with shaker boxes, discuss reading and interpreting forage tests, as well as measure forage dry matter). The class will also take soil samples, read soil tests and interpret their results, discussing how levels correspond to different forages.
Managing Transition Cows

There is no CAP for GMod 13. If you are refering to StarGate Pack beta, then it's completly other thing. Btw. We were looking for betatesters but it seems noone wanna be :(
There is no CAP for GMod 13. If you are refering to StarGate Pack beta, then it's completly other thing. Btw. We were looking for betatesters but it seems noone wanna be :(
i wanted to test for the beta, but i was told you guys had testers already
I can test it for you if you'd like.
You never let us actually test anything, you told us to message you on steam but we can't
Guys, go to the StarGate beta thread, don't spam cap thread :) You can also pm me on facepunch :)
Why no? Its worked and probably after gmod13 will be relased i will back to update cap for gmod13.
I was refering to "there is no separate pack called CAP for gmod 13".
You should probbly remove that picture before you get banned for "image macro"
As I said in my last post- im avalable for testing
Quickly said:
Alex taking over cap does with it what he wants <-> the main Cap Team will be making new Stargate Addon on gmod13 :p
When gmod 13 is finished, will it replace the current gmod or will they exist alongside each other?
- Some new Ragdolls Provided by ViktorK
@Boba Fett, you said MAIN? Atm i see just myself.
@Iziraider, I hope so. I even don't imagine that i would have to buy it.
ragdolls ?? O.o what about to make from them NPCs :)
my shield stopt working when i installed spacebuild 3 only hear a stange electric noise
(yes i know i posted this before but every new page i will write this post utill i get a answer)
ps dont ban me or something if you can.
hey all i have a question i have one big problem with cap mod NOT KNOW spawn gates and dhd-s THE GARRY'S MOD WRITE UNKOWN CAP ERROR [my garry's mod is in non steam :( ]
(User was permabanned for this post ("Pirated Gmod" - Orkel))
That kind of defeats the purpose of continueing cap.
I'll later add it to npc/player model and to language files. Probably tomorrow.
plz guys help me
What's the point of helping you? You said u have non-steam gmod. Our legality check block CAP on cracked versions of gmod. End of topic.
sorry i not know :(
Check your inbox, i sent you something about Sheppard.
Indeed, some sort of chainletters. C:
@madman, and so it should
I had this (illegal version) once upon a time (1 year ago or something) but i only was using it for short term to test gmod.
Yes, to carry on updating CAP, have toybox and to download from gmod.org is the only reason i bought gmod, but it was worth it being now able to get gmod beta.
If you have illegal versions of gmod i would highly recommend getting legit versions. It cost little and is allot better then the cracked version.
I bought legit GMod some time ago (yesterday), i didn't bought it before coz no credit card :( anyway i have found a simple* way of buying it and i did it. Woo!
*not really simple at all
Don't worry guys. I believe that new stargate pack will be partially redistributed via Workshop, so no more cheating and disabling legality checkers :)
There where legality checker in CAP? o.O
Warning: Only for educational propourses
PS There are many other ways of getting workshop addons without owning GMod
1) Stealing accounts
2) Asking friend to download addon and upload it somewehere else
3) Buying GMod <- Easyest one in my opinion
Rev 262
- New Player Models Texture Path
And one thing from my side. Workshop doesn't allow to mess with downloaded files because they are pakced somehow, so no lua edits :)
You are wrong, i know one way... And its working... So :DD Anyway i do not thing noobs can do this.
you said without owning gmod, so option 3 and 1 are out. option 1 because if you steal the account, you own the games
Just on a side note.... Does anyone happen to have any good reference pictures of the pop-up C02 vents for the destiny stargate? If so, can they please post them in the SG CAP reference thread for me? thanks :)
EDIT: Also, I love this guy: http://stargateproject.wordpress.com/ He's got every little bit of detail for an accurate 1:1 stargate reference that i've been looking for. If i knew i was building gates back when propworx was auctioning i'd have gotten this info, but he got it for me :) Cross sections, layout of the shapes under the chevrons, chevron sizes, perfect! I can't wait to throw this on an SG1 and Atlantis gate model tonight and see how well it turns out.
Oh come on that just sucks
3 Years ago I also used an illegal gmod to try it out. I got interested in it because of the stargates I saw on youtube. But having almost no servers, and bad working addons made me buy it. And so came the steam invasion in my life, since then steam has eaten a lot of my money. :3
i think that's how a lot of gmod users started.
Me to. I bought gmod because avon pack didn't wanted to work for me. And I also got a CSS, and I play it sinca that time :)
i have a problem. i can't see the unstable vortex and the glyphs on the universe gate r lit up all the time
Run gmod with -dxlevel 93
isntant fix
k i'll try it
it worked thanks

Rising Rail Fares Mean It's Often Cheaper to Fly in India
With train fares in India set to rise Wednesday, it is now not only faster but often even cheaper to travel by air.
Most airlines are also losing money but they have to keep prices low if they want to remain relevant and burn their brand in the brains of the country's growing middle class.
As airlines tout five-rupee promotional fares—which are really just advertising gimmicks as only a few lucky customers get them—the railway system has announced its biggest rate hike in over a year.
India Real Time did an informal survey of the prices of first-class fares on the country's fast and fully air-conditioned Rajdhani trains and fares on the low-cost airlines. A quick search online showed that if you are someone that always takes the first-class compartment on the train and books two months in advance, it is often cheaper to fly.
On the same day, an air ticket connecting the two cities with all the regular fees and taxes cost only 3,340 rupees on budget airline GoAir.
That's about 20% cheaper than the train ticket. Meanwhile the Rajdhani takes more than 16 hours to travel to Mumbai while the flight only takes two hours.
Fares on other routes from Delhi to revealed similar discounts.
Of course Rajdhani travelers can opt for the second-tier class ticket for the same route between Delhi and Mumbai for 2,975 rupees, or even the third-tier ticket for 2,175 rupees.
Airlines are also struggling with sluggish growth in air travel amid slowing economic expansion.
In 2013, around 61 million people took domestic flights. That is an expansion of 4% from the year earlier and much lower than the double-digit growth in previous years.

I convinced Prudential that we would save a lot of money if they just bought me two Panasonic Varicams to shoot our commercials with rather than continue to shoot 35mm film. I needed to get familiar with the cameras so I convinced them too to loan me and the gear out to St Vincent's a Newark, NJ Catholic Girls School. I got comfortable operating and lighting for the cameras while shooting this Doc. The faculty, students and families were so enthusiastic for their school it made editing this 7 minute promo piece a joy. And the Varicams too are an absolute joy to shoot with too.

The team announced the moves in a news release Saturday.
"George has been a terrific, longtime executive for our franchise, and I'm grateful for his commitment to the Capitals organization for the past 17 years," owner Ted Leonsis said. "Under his leadership the Capitals won seven division titles, twice were the top team in the Eastern Conference, earned a Presidents' Trophy and competed in the playoffs 10 times. He was a highly effective manager who is extremely well regarded within our organization and around the NHL. We have the utmost respect for him and his family and wish them nothing but the very best.
"We are also appreciative of Adam's efforts and thank him for his devotion, work ethic and contributions to the Capitals the past two seasons. He is a smart, tactical coach who improved the performance of several of our players. He is a Hall of Fame player who we believe will be a longtime coach in the NHL. We will help him in whatever way we are able and wish him well.
"This is an important time for our organization, and I feel a change is needed in order to get us back to being a top echelon team that competes for the Stanley Cup."
Oates, a former star player for the Capitals, had one season left on his three-year contract. This was his first job as a head coach.

have been saying that for years. I have never met a bass with cancer yet. And
I have met a lot of bass! I feel that the
fishermen have a lot more to worry about
than lead weights. If a person worries about
handling these weights, because of the
lead, simply paint them.
because large and small bass will eat any thing, at certain times. I know for certain
that small bass will hit prey (or objects)
5 times there size. If I were fishing your part of the lake, I would want to catch the largest one in that area. So having said that, since
you have small brush hogs, and have # 1
hooks, You need to figure out how slow you want it to fall. because bass are smart, and know when something's not
right. If your water is shallow, and the current is not strong, Use the 1/16 oz.
However, if there are dense weeds, or
deep water, or strong wind, go 1/8th oz.
personally add different applications to
the Carolina rigs. Like different weights,
or different glass beads, different colored
beads, some faceted, some smooth and round. I may make it only 24" instead of
36". There are many variations to the
Carolina rig. Use your imagination, you
may invent something that works better.
Thats how the split shot rig came about.

I came across this in an old Nottingham Evening Post March 25th 1890, and thought that it might be reassuring to anyone worried about our current situation
As the Forest have also set about arranging a similar kind of eleven to Notts. for next season, some of the latter's committee are more anxious than ever to strengthen the team considerably. It is complained that the business is so secretly conducted. Doubtless we should all like to know what is going on, but the best interests of the club in such delicate work as strengthening the team won't stand such publicity, and there's an end of it. Divided councels are disatrous and we hope to see complete harmony restored and a spirited policy carried out firmly.
If the supporters of Notts. (sic) Forest have not lost all heart they must be the staunchest folk who ever followed the fortunes of a fallen club.We suppose that they are holding on like those poor people who are wrecked, and cling to the masts and the rigging in the hope of ultimate rescue from their fat. The powers that be have, we are told, already not only devised and sketched the plan of a new vessel, but she is already on the stocks, and a diligent search is being made for a crew to man her. To speak plainly, there should not be much difficulty in engaing a better set of men than have attempted to guide the Red ship of late.
To drop metaphor, it is not long since the Foresters were beaten 12 to 0 by Small Heath (later to become Birmingham City)
The problem at the time for the team was that the players were a mix of pro and amateurs and some of the amateurs failed to turn up sometimes due to other commitments.
This is of course nothing like our problem now that we have highly paid professionals playing for us who turn out for us week in week out, in body at least, but does show that we have had club threatening problems going back a long way in our history. We overcame problems before and we can again.
As they used to say on Thunderbirds FAB (Fawaz & Billy)
The committee when we had one didn't exactly cover themselves in glory. Many of our woes can be attributed to them:
- not building for the future when we were successful.
- the bungled sale to Scholar & his crooked band.
Aye, it's nowt new, and I dare say the information explosion that is the internet is what makes problems seem so dramatic and out of proportion at times.
This at bottom is the wish and prayer of all human hearts, everywhere and at all times: Give me a leader, a true leader, not a false sham-leader; a true leader, that he may guide me on the true way.
- Thomas Carlyle
I think you have hit the nail right on the head about our need for instant gratification in the internet age combined with our inbuilt need for drama out of the absolute mundane. If we ever get anything resembling just mild drama we go into instant meltdown as we are unable to cope. And it seems that it is not just football that befalls this double whammy syndrome.
People are able to express themselves immediately now - which has its' pitfalls.
Before with football if you were pissed off you'd chunter to your mates in the pub, calm down a bit - or you'd maybe sit and write something down to a fanzine editor. So you'd consider what you said, send it, the editor would then either chuck it away if it was nonsense, edit it further for clarity or print it if it was okay.
Now it's different - in many ways I love the way people can instantly input into the mix, but we all need to remember (self included) to self-moderate a little bit before hitting the ol' post button.
Didn't you know, Dr. Emmet Brown was a honoury member of the committee and left a letter to be opened on January 4th 1975. It read..
"Dear Sirs,
Don't ask how I know this given when this letter is written, but you have just sacked your manager Allan Brown. I know that Brian Clough didn't have a good spell at Leeds, and he will be a pain at times, but you must make him the manager of the Nottingham Forest team. He will bring good times to Nottingham, trust me.
Back me for your future.
Dr Emmet Brown
(No relation to Allan by the way.)
There was some disbelief when they opened the letter, but they did it anyway, and the rest is history.
Under clough, there was loads of cloak and dagger stuff going on behind the scenes due to the way the club was run from an administrative perspective.
Then we had the whole buy-out of the club, the Sandy Anderson shenanigans, the Grant Bovey video with Anthea Turner, Irving Scholar/Nigel Wray thing and eventually the buy-out by Doughty
Then we had a relatively stable time, marred by bad decisions (not investing at the right times, promising funds then freezing them often leaving the manager in the cold, PR gaffes etc). All culminating with the McClaren short tenure, recruitment of Steve Cotterill and the announcement that he wasn't putting another penny into the club.
Then the circus after Doughtys death, with the threat of administration looming and the Al-Hasawis arriving in the nick of time.
So it is fair to say that the non-playing side of the club has been 'entertaining' for many years.
The decisions by the current owners do seem extreme but I think they should be judged over a longer period of time. If we need some tough decisions and mistakes to be made now, in order to get the right people in the right jobs and have a period of sustained success then it will be worth it.
And whatever is happening now is better that what would have happened if no-one had come in to buy us in the summer
Aye. Maybe it's reflective of society in general, but from my own personal POV there certainly seems to be a lack of backbone overall in modern culture. It really is as if some football fans don't expect their team to ever concede a goal, never mind lose.
The fact that so many were expecting promotion this season after last year, and such a short pre-season shows a distinct lack of realism IMO.
Yup, I've been guilty of it too and am sure grateful for that "Edit" button!
It's expensive though. I've been researching my family tree, but have had a look at some of the early Forest stuff which was interesting. There were some weird rules at the start by the look of it. One game report indicated that there were two goalkeepers per team and another said that we won by one or two rouges, which are either akin to corners or something like the endzone catch in American football.
There were multiple game rules back in the early days and they could play different rules in consecutive games. Thank goodness that doesn't happen now. Could you imagine playing one set of rules at home and another away? I can imagine the arguments now, "If only we'd been playing the Nottingham rules we would have won the game - Sheffield Rules suck!"
I like to go on a 3 day hike in the Peak District before each post
Rubbish article. Within two years we'd won the Football Alliance and were champions of England (sort of). Typical NEP shit-stirring.
I've recently been reading a history of cricket and that's a similar tale - they'd been playing for about 200 years before someone invented a straight bat and then another fifty years before they put the middle stump in. Amazing how sports we take for granted were formed (and amazing how difficult it is for them to change the rules now).
Thanks for the link too, will come in useful when researching my next book (or I might just ask on here again to save money).
If you are interested in the historical rules of football you might like to check this out from 1871 -
It contains the early rules for football (2 sets - Association and Sheffield) and rugby.
Alex you might also find this interesting. It is before Association rules and appears to be a foorball rugby cross -
A section on crickest appears in the pages before it
Did you know that in the early 1800's they used to play a Shrove Tuesday football game in the Derby town centre?

Only in Baku.
Back in Baku, my mother has a social life ten times better than mine here. And mine is not actually that bad these days, considering how boring (very!) social life in the UK is.
She spent the whole day yesterday hanging out with two school friends who come to Baku once every three years. G. who lives in the USA and V. who is a resident of Russia, both return to their motherland together- to visit the graves of their parents.
Of course, besides such noble reason, there are other things they come to Baku for. Like smoking a kalian and eating good food with old friends.
Mother tried to find a good restaurant with decent food but also a kalian-smoking facility for her mates. She took the guys to a well-known place in the centre of town. It was empty.
'You can't smoke kalian in the main restaurant', they got told. 'Only in kabinets.' (private cabins)
'OK', said V. 'We will take the kabinet!'
'Er...No. The kabinets are for a party of over two guests only .'
'But there are three of us?', V. corrected politely.
The waiter thought about it and shook his head 'No. Kabinets are for big parties only. You can sit in the main restaurant.'
'But we cant smoke kalian there?'
'That is correct. You may not. Only in kabinets.'
'Why can't we go to a kabinet, the restaurant is completely empty???'
The conversation got interrupted by my mother, who took the party to her favourite Georgian place instead. Which was packed. The Kalian got smoked elsewhere; so the day was pretty perfect in the end.
As they walked around town, G. pointed out how dramatically Baku has changed. Look, he said. You even have gay clubs everywhere?!
Çay Evi, my mother explained to her naive friend, is not quite a gay club. Just somewhere to drink chay.
This confusion caused by the differences in alphabets and writing systems can be dangerous. It made me wonder how many potentially life-threatening mistakes will be made during the Eurovision 2012 by gay visitors in Baku. I say changing the fonts should be the city's priority.
It reminded me of an American friend of mine who had been asking me 'what the hell is this 'pec-to-pah'place??' all over Baku. It took me a while to realize she was referring to the word restaurant in Russian. –РЕСТОРАН.
So, if you ever planning to visit Baku for the first time in 2012, please remember:
Çay Evi ( Azeri alphabet) is where you go to drink some tea. Normally a very traditional place.
РЕСТОРАН ( Cyrillic, Russian alphabet) is where you go to eat.
Neither is a gay club. Not that confusing, really, is it?

Hedge funds can't catch a break. After posting lousy returns last year, the industry is getting left far behind in the frothy start of 2013. The average fund has boosted its leverage this year, but eked out returns of just 3%, less than half the gain of the Standard & Poor's 500. Where oh where has alpha gone, if it ever existed in the first place?
There's really nothing good to say about the results of early 2013. In fact, one in every 10 hedge funds is generating an absolute loss, says Goldman Sachs in its "Hedge Fund Trend Monitor." The report analyzed the positions of 725 hedge funds with $1.3 trillion in gross assets.
Think about it. The hedge-fund investor pays 2% of assets and 20% of the profits—and for what? Savvy mining for hidden gems, perhaps? Hardly. The mostly commonly held stocks among hedge funds are anything but hidden. Numero Uno, according to Goldman, is AIG AIG -0.7499184871209651% American International Group Inc.

The world doesn't seem to be getting any kinder to the industry.
"Animal spirits are coming back, but it's a totally different landscape than the time before the crisis," says Ferenc Sanderson, chief operating officer with Cranwood Capital, based near Cleveland, which manages $95 million in Treasuries. "It's a much tougher market to trade. The retail investors are all but gone, and what's left are unpredictable algorithm traders and unpredictable volumes."
You might expect global-macro traders to be big winners in uncertain markets like these, where broad strategies often win out. But they've been faring worse. Last year the typical global-macro strategy delivered 4.6%, according to the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Global Macro Hedge Fund Index. By comparison, the average large-cap core mutual fund made 14%—and no one has ever paid 2-and-20 to get into one of those.
STANLEY SPORKIN is a thoroughly decorated Wall Street cop. He spent seven years as the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement boss, then put in 14 years as a federal judge. So, what does Sporkin make of the current regulatory scene?
Too little, too late.
In a recent speech at an event sponsored by George Washington University Law School, Sporkin decried bureaucratic bunglings and lax oversight in the years leading up to the financial crisis. It all led, he said, to unnecessary destabilization through the creation and rampant trading of esoteric instruments like credit default swaps.
Rules Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank don't do much. "Regulation from behind is a prescription for failure," he said. What's really needed, he suggested, is for Congress to support the agency's status as the referee that protects and maintains the world's deepest and fairest capital market. Sounds like a plan to us.

2015 MINI Cooper Coupe Interior
2015 MINI Cooper Coupe Interior Overview
Note: This interior review was created when the 2015 MINI Cooper Coupe was new.
Test drivers appreciate the 2015 Mini Coupe's quirky interior styling, but they note that the controls are difficult to use. Though some critics expect higher-quality materials from the Mini brand, they also point out that the materials are in line with class expectations. Visibility is poor out of the Coupe's cabin, though critics do like the seats, which are supportive and offer good headroom.
- "Mini interiors can take a little getting used to, but in a charming way, and the Coupe is no exception." -- Kelley Blue Book (2014)
- "But though materials are generally price-appropriate, the low-rent plastic used for a few controls and interior panels is a big letdown, given Mini's near-premium brand image." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "The Coupe retains the usual menagerie of Mini-styled interior buttons and flair, but to a lesser, more attractive degree." -- Motor Trend (2012)
The 2015 Mini Coupe seats two and comes standard with leatherette upholstery. Sport seats with more aggressive bolstering, Recaro sport seats, heated seats and seats with leather accents are optional. Reviewers agree that the Coupe has supportive seats and plenty of headroom thanks to two large indentations in the headliner. However, they say the Coupe's distinctive roofline yields poor rearward visibility and contributes to a claustrophobic feel in the cabin.
- "There's no shortage of headroom in the Coupe. Still, it can feel cramped inside, compared with the Hardtop hatchback, partly because the sloping roof line limits visibility out the back." -- Edmunds
- "The seats are comfy and, just as important, quite supportive." -- Kelley Blue Book (2014)
- "The Coupe has no back seat, and visibility through the tiny rear window is severely compromised. When the pop-up rear spoiler is deployed, it's tough to see anything behind you." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "Surrounding the two occupants inside the Coupe is a highly stylized cabin very similar in appearance to what Mini offers in the rest of its line, except now there's two giant indentations in the roof to make sure even those well over six-feet-tall have plenty of head room." -- Autoblog (2012)
Interior Features
Standard features in the 2015 Mini Coupe include automatic climate control, automatic windshield wipers and a six-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio input, Bluetooth and HD Radio. Available features include rear parking sensors, satellite radio, a Harman Kardon audio system, navigation and the Mini Connected infotainment system, which includes a 6.5-inch color display, voice recognition and smartphone app integration.
Most critics say the Coupe's retro-inspired audio and climate controls are attractive but aren't labeled well and require you to press multiple buttons to change simple settings. They add that the central knob that operates the optional Mini Connected infotainment system could be easier to use.
- "As neat as the instruments and controls look, they're not as readable and intuitive to operate as they should be, especially compared with what Mini has done with the newest Cooper hatchback." -- Edmunds
- "Climate controls also sit low, are poorly marked, and needlessly clumsy. Ditto the standard audio unit, which requires drilling through cryptic labels and multiple menus for even simple adjustments." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "The cartoonish speedometer stays at its center stage position atop the dash; so, too, does the tachometer behind the comfortable steering wheel. But Mini's somewhat tricky multimedia interface remains." -- Motor Trend (2012)
- "Do note that there's no touchscreen in the Mini Coupe (or any other vehicle with Mini Connected). Instead, there's a tiny joystick between the front seats that operates the system. Instead of using four-way directional movement, the joystick spins to move up and down the menu structure, and a press down on the stick selects an item. It's not necessarily difficult to use, but it's not as simple as it could be, either." -- Autoblog (2012)
The 2015 Mini Coupe has 9.8 cubic feet of cargo space, which is on par with what other small sports cars offer. The Coupe has a small trunk pass-through for longer items, and critics say the Coupe's hatchback design makes it a cinch to access your cargo. Reviewers also appreciate the Mini Coupe's large glove compartment and handy door pockets.
- "The integrated trunk lid and rear window swing up together, as on a hatchback, which makes it easy to access your gear." -- Edmunds
- "Small-item storage consists of a good-size drop-down dashboard glovebox, useful pockets behind the door-pulls, and a plasticky pull-down center armrest/cubby that seems designed mostly for phones." -- Consumer Guide (2013)
- "Wide or tall things will have forgo the Coupe's cargo cubby -- by our estimates, two carry-on roller boards can fit snugly inside the Coupe's area." -- Motor Trend (2012)
- "The one and only thing about the Mini Coupe that is undeniably handy, in all honesty, is its cargo space. It's the most capacious Mini in the entire lineup, albeit that's when comparing spaces with the rear seats left up." -- Autoblog (2012)

The Sports Heroes Set
By Joe Simanis aka GHCHambone
Every person involved in sports or card collecting has a sports hero and most people probably more than one. Maybe it was your first coach who taught you the rules and fundamentals of the game. It could be your favorite player growing up, the player you wanted to be just like. Or it might be your parents or your siblings who introduced you to the world of sports. That's why my idea for a new product would be the Sports Heroes Set. Each card relates in some way to the heroes that both athletes and fans have looked up to over the years. The set would feature star athletes as well as heroic coaches and teams, both past and present. The following are some of my ideas for the Sports Heroes Set:
The Base Cards- The front would look like a standard trading card with the player in action (being vague as this set could work for many different sports). However, the back of the card is slightly different from your usual trading card. It lists the athlete's first team they ever played for (juniors, little league, etc.) and their first coach. Then, there is a small quote by the athlete talking about their own hero while they were growing up. The base card set will feature both current and former athletes of the sport.
The Inserts- The inserts of the Sports Heroes Set would continue with the theme of sports heroes and iconic figures of the game.
Idols- This insert card would show the athlete alongside an action shot of their favorite player growing up (preferably in a similar pose). The back of the card would have a quote of the athlete on why they admired them and why they chose them as their favorite player. This card could feature jerseys and autographs of both players as well.
Family Ties- These inserts will feature families who have played in the same league, such as the Howe family, the Griffeys, etc. These could feature siblings as well as parents and grandparents who played the same sport. The card back will list the family members and the years and teams that they played for.
Mentors- This insert card will feature an athlete in their rookie year or early on in their career as well as a player on the same team who helped mentor them. This card will also feature a swatch from both players' jerseys. The back will feature the stats for both players that year.
Celebrity's Favorites- The Celebrity Heroes card would be an autograph card. It would feature a celebrity (movie or TV star, musician, etc.) along with their favorite athlete. Both people would autograph the front of the card. On the back there would be a story on why this person chose them as their favorite athlete.
Unlikely Heroes- These inserts would feature underdog teams and athletes who defied the odds and still made it to the top (1980 US Men's Olympic Hockey Team, Muggsy Bogues, Jackie Robinson, etc). It would have a picture of the team or athlete on the front and their story on the back detailing the obstacles they have overcome.
Back to Back (the ultimate redemption card!)- This would be the most sought after card in the set. The card will be blank, but whoever pulls one of these cards would get to have a piece of their very own jersey next to their favorite player! When redeeming, you would be able to choose from a list of which athlete you would like to be featured on a card with. You then mail in a piece of one of your own jerseys to be placed on the card. The card would be returned with your favorite player's jersey next to a piece of your very own jersey! It would be the ultimate and most unique 1 of 1 trading card you will ever own!
These are some of my ideas for the Sports Heroes Set. I think it would be a fun set to collect and that everyone would be able to relate to it and think of his or her own heroes, both in the sports world and outside of it. The Heroes Set could also be produced for many different sports, as each sport has their own set of heroes. Plus being able to possibly be on a jersey card with your own sports hero is something I have thought about before and I think it would be a very unique card. Thank you for reading my ideas and I hope you enjoyed some of them.

Perpetual Depression?
I've been dealing with depression for 4 years. I thought I had gotten rid of it but it's back now and it's worse than ever. I've started making myself physically ill, I cry all the time and I wish I had the strength to end it all. I really do.My best friend who I've been engaged in a less than platonic relationship with laughs at me and tells me to "get over it" despite having suffered with depression himself. My family are dealing with their own issue and so I don't feel I can burden them. Doctors are helpful but waiting lists mean I'm coping with this alone.
I wish I weren't here. I'd give anything to fall asleep and never wake up.

I think you should go back with a set of bombers and finish off the job.
"What? Ask them to move their stuff and they ignored you? Or did you ask them to move stuff that you didn't actually see in the first place.
You are not painting a very rosy picture of yourself here."
Just remind me, at which stage did I say that I rode over the rod on purpose?
Just remind me, at which stage did I say that I rode over the rod on purpose?
Quite possibly you didn't ride over on it on purpose but you knew they were there 'but I did ask them to shift their gear, and they did ignore me' yet without bothering to check, you carried on.
May I put it to you that you just thought 'ohh **** it, they won't move it, I am just gonna ride over it, that'll learn 'em' but subsequently guilt has caught up with you....
Jesus wept, it's like the Spanish Inquisition on here!
I bet you weren't expecting that.
mastiles: No, actually, I asked, then stopped. The guy in front of me moved his gear, and I (wrongly) assumed his mates had shifted theirs as well, and set off again. You may put what you want to me, (have I landed up in court again?), but you dont know me from Adam, and therefore are in no position to judge my character.
Did someone mention 'rod'? Surely the Stephen Gately thread has now found a new home?
Cheeky bad boy!
Jesus wept, it's like the Spanish Inquisition on here!I bet you weren't expecting that.
(sorry but someone had to!)
Spare the rod spoil the child
Very poor.
Probably a fibreglass fishing rod, doubt if you could tell the difference between that and carbon by simply doing a ride-by crushing
Not that excuses your appalling behaviour of course
Not as poor as you'll be when you cough up for a £2500 rod...
Probably a fibreglass fishing rod
Perhaps it was the original cane fly rod* as used by JR Hartley. That'll be worth a bob or two...
*Pedants beware - I know you wouldn't be fly fishing on a canal. Unless fishing for the flies hovering around the bodies dumped in there.
Is anybody else confused by the fact barnsleymitch broke the rod/pole then when he went back the boy had gone?
Of course he had gone what sort of person tries to fish with a broken rod?
What sort of person gives up fishing just because their rod is broken? These guys step up when they call themselves fishermen. I've seen Touching The Void, I know the risks they run when they go out there, I've seen the heroism and the sacrifice.
It seems as though the more I try to explain, the more guilty I appear. There was a group of them, all with a number of rods each, both in use and strewn across the path. Next time, I'll just stick to bursting their footballs or cutting the strings on their kites - happy now?
Next time, I'll just stick to bursting their footballs or cutting the strings on their kites - happy now?
No, it'll be purgatory for me, at least to begin with...
Could be an urban myth warning.
Back when I lived in Pontywaun and knew the boys in Martin Hatfield well there was the tale of a group of lads riding up the canal from Risca to where it stops in Pontywaun to go up the Scenic Drive, the one at the front ran over a fishermans kit and the one at the back paid fot it by being given a beating by the angry angler. He and his bike ended up in the canal.
If you spent the night on a canal bank only to let go what you had spent hours trying to catch I think you would be a little unglued.

The ElvisNews Review
Design This package comes in a hard plastic box. The image on the cover is a screenshot from the movie, not too clear unfortunately. The menu is clear and you get direct access to both the scenes and the songs. Content Last week ElvisNews.com received a preview copy of the remastered Loving You, one of the first Elvis DVDs. "Is it worth the money?" is the first thing you have to ask yourself before buying a video or DVD of a movie you have probably seen pretty often before. Well, we can answer this question easily for you! Yes, it is. Fortunately Trimark Pictures didn't edit the content itself, as was done with some recent remastered movies. So we have the full movie, but in much better quality. Both the sound- and picture-quality are improved. The colours are very clear and the images very sharp. Like the scene with "Lonesome Cowboy": it used to be a light, smudged spot on the a normal TV-screen. Now you see clearly a small image of Elvis in the dark surrounding. The movie itself may not be Elvis' best one, but it certainly isn't the worst. Very enjoyable music, a great looking Elvis with his hair dyed black for the first time, especially for the movie (because it looked better in a colour picture). For those who aren't familiar with the movie here is the information available on Elvis in Hollywood: Title: Loving you Company: Paramount Producer: Hal B. Wallis Director: Hal Kanter Screenplay: Herbert Baker and Hal Kanter (based on a story by Mary Agnes Thompson) Co-actors: Lizabeth Scott, Wendell Corey, Dolores Hart, James Gleason, Ralph Dunke, Paul Smith, Ken Becker, Jana Lund Length: 101 min. First appearance: July 9, 1957 Storyline: The young truckdriver Deke Rivers (Elvis Presley) is discovered as a singer by a press-agent, Glenda Markle (Lizabeth Scott) during an election-campaign. She contracts him for a band. His success grows bigger from performance to performance, but he has to choose between the press-agent, who is responsible for his success, and the female-singer of the band, Susan Jessup (Dolores Hart), who he likes very much. Behind the scenes: "Loving You" was originally titled "Lonesome Cowboy" and then changed to "Running Wild". Famous TV host Ed Sullivan referred to this title when Elvis made his last appearance on his show, January 6, 1957. Production began on January 21, 1957 and was completed in early March. "Loving You" was based on a story called "A Call from Mitch Miller" by Mary Agnes Thompson. Dolores Hart made her film debut in "Loving You". She also appeared in Elvis' fourth movie, "King Creole". In 1963 she retired and became a nun. Hart is now know as Mother Dolores at the convent of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut. "Loving you", Elvis' first color film, premiered in Memphis on July 9, 1957, at the Strand Theater and opened nationally on July 30. Director Hal Kanter spent some time on the road with Elvis and his band for research prior to the film's production. In December 1956, he went to see his performance at the "Louisiana Hayride" in Shreveport. Elvis' mother and father, Gladys and Vernon, can clearly be seen in the audience while Elvis performs "Got a Lot o' Livin to Do" during the closing sequence. "Loving You" reached No. 7 on Variety's weekly list of top-grossing films. In its review The Los Angeles Times said "A furtive step on Presley's part in a screen career" Songs: Teddy Bear, Got a Lot o' Livin' to Do, Loving You, Lonesome Cowboy, Hot Dog, Mean Woman Blues, Party Recorded at the Paramount Scoring Stage and Radio Recorders, Hollywood. Engineers: Phil Wisdom and Thorne Nogar. January - February 1957 Musicians: Guitars: Scotty Moore, Tiny Timbrell, Elvis Presley. Bass: Bill Black. Drums: D.J. Fontana. Piano: Dudley Brooks, Gordon Stoker, Hoyt Hawkins. Harmonica: George Fields. Vocals: The Jordanaires. Dolores Hart sang "Dancing on a Dare", "Detour" (a 1951 hit for Patti Page) and "The Yellow Rose". Tex Warner's Rough Riding Ramblers played "Candy Kisses". The soundtrack album received gold certification and entered the Billboard chart on July 22, 1957, at No. 11 and stayed at No. 1 for 10 weeks. On June 11, the platinum certified single "Loving You"/ "Teddy Bear" was released. It became Elvis' eighth million seller and stayed at No. 1 for seven weeks. In the United Kingdom, "Teddy Bear" reached No. 2. In October, Billboard introduced a new chart for extended play records. Elvis had four of the 10 listed: Loving You, Vol. 1 (1), Just For You (3), Peace in the Valley (9) and Loving You, Vol. 2 (10). During October 1957, the United Kingdom issued "Party" and "Got a Lot o' Livin' to Do' as a single from the film. They reached No. 2 and NO. 17 respectively in the national singles chart.

Please check out my blog too at Miss Tangerine :)Happy 30th, sweetie! Sounds like you had such a great celebration, and that dress looks lovely on you.
www.TheFancyTeacup.comHappy Birthday, lovely girl! I can't believe you turned 30- I seriously thought you were just reaching your mid twenties! I almost teared up reading about your birthday weekend - what loving friends and family you have. I also love the mint and black combo here. It looks so elegant! I also think I need to swing by H&M to pick up these OdlR-esque earrings!

i didn't realize tights could be worn on their own. i always figured they went UNDER something, a long, long sweater, a skirt, a dress. but they look really nice when used as pants. i'm not sure my legs could pull it off, but it's worth a try :)

Picture of the Day
Since we're on a "Seinfeld" theme today, I feel like this would be most appropriate. In recent news, Donald Fehr, the controversial head of the MLBPA has stepped down. His replacement is none other than Uncle Leo.
Have a good weekend!

Antiquities of the Jews
by Flavius Josephus
Book I, Chapter 22
How Isaac Died, And Was Buried In Hebron
FROM thence Jacob came to Hebron, a city situate among the Canaanites; and there it was that Isaac lived: and so they lived together for a little while; for as to Rebeka, Jacob did not find her alive. Isaac also died not long after the coming of his son; and was buried by his sons, with his wife, in Hebron, where they had a monument belonging to them from their forefathers. Now Isaac was a man who was beloved of God, and was vouchsafed great instances of providence by God, after Abraham his father, and lived to be exceeding old; for when he had lived virtuously one hundred and eighty-five years, he then died.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
By Natalie Burg
To the uninitiated, "growth hacking" might sound like something a small business wouldn't want to get anywhere near. After all, hacking is a bad thing.
Not so for growth hacking.
"A growth hacker really is just a marketer," entrepreneur and growth hacker Gagan Biyani wrote for The Next Web, "but one with a different set of challenges to tackle and tools to work with."
Any business interested in the kind of success that Facebook, , YouTube, AirBNB and have had should know that growth hacking is how they did it. But before rushing off to write a help wanted ad to hire your company's first growth hacker, it's important to understand just what growth hacking is and which type of companies are best suited for it. While it's not a good fit for every business, those that have used it to garner millions of customers would agree that for some, it's worth a shot.
Do You Need Growth Hacking?
You wouldn't pour gasoline on a fire that's cooking your dinner fairly well at its current size. Growth hacking is meant to be high-intensity starter fluid for startups or companies with lots of room to grow.
The difference lies in the goals of startups and large corporations. As Biyani noted in TNW, startups tend to aim for at least 20% growth month over month. Corporations shoot for closer to 5% year over year.
The startup's position lends itself best to growth hacking. If you're looking for big growth at a rapid pace, then growth hacking could be the solution.
Are You Willing to Change Everything?
Growth hacking is like marketing, but it follows no traditional marketing rules. To embrace it, you have to embrace full-fledged change from the norm.
"Growth hacking is a mindset, not a tool kit," marketer and author Ryan Holiday told Inc.com.
Growth hacking requires a focus on acquiring customers, not leads. Rather than asking, "Who is it for?" Holiday said growth hackers ask, "Why would someone use this? Why do I use it?"
The end result looks something like Uber giving SXSW attendees free rides, Dropbox offering additional storage to customers who invite a friend to join or LinkedIn requesting access to email contacts and sending invitations to potential users.
Can You Handle the Risks?
Like any high-stakes investment, there's considerable risk associated with growth hacking. Case in point: When the website Rap Genius engaged in what TechCrunch called "spammy SEO tactics disguised as an affiliate program," it was called out and punished by . Other companies have come across looking sketchy with -based invitation systems and other experimental tactics, the TechCrunch article noted.
"[G]rowth at all costs is a gamble and sometimes you'll lose," Sarah Perez wrote for TechCrunch. "However, those gambling with their users' trust are attempting the riskiest move of all."
Growth hacking is bold, innovative and inherently risky. But then, so is launching a business. For startups and small businesses looking for rapid expansion, growth hacking can be worth the risk.

CEA Urges Others to Take the Pledge on National Day of Action
ARLINGTON, VA--Sept. 19, 2013: To mark the It Can Wait campaign's "Drive 4 Pledges" national day of action on Thursday, September 19, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is highlighting the issue of distracted driving through a full day of outreach, advocacy and education focused on CEA members, association employees and Capitol Hill. Putting an end to texting while driving begins with a conscious choice by the person behind the wheel. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that those who text while driving are 23 times more likely to get into a crash.
"Sometimes in life you have to take a stand, and one issue I hope you choose to act on with me is the avoidable deaths from those who text and drive"
"Sometimes in life you have to take a stand, and one issue I hope you choose to act on with me is the avoidable deaths from those who text and drive," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. "I signed the pledge to never text and drive, and today on the Drive 4 Pledges National Day of Action we are also extending the invitation to CEA employees, our member companies and Members of Congress and their staff to sign. No message is so urgent that it is worth risking your life or the lives of others."
In addition to running an advertisement in today's Roll Call urging those on Capitol Hill to support the It Can Wait campaign, CEA is hosting an event for its staff featuring a pledge drive to make a personal commitment not to text and drive, as well as screenings of acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog's documentary on the dangers of distracted driving. CEA is also contacting its more than 2,000 member companies and 200,000 Innovation Movement members with a message from Gary Shapiro.
"Support of distraction-free driving has long been a top priority for CEA's Automotive Electronics Division, including active support for measures like state legislation to ban texting while driving and placing limits on the use of electronics by novice drivers," said Ron Freeman, CEO, AAMP of America and chair of CEA's Automotive Electronics Division Board. "We are thrilled to see the awareness and momentum the It Can Wait campaign is creating about texting and driving."
Please visit CEA's Digital Dialogue blog to access the It Can Wait pledge form, a link to the It Can Wait documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog that reveals the devastating aftermath of texting and driving, and information on how to share and spread the word that you have taken the pledge. CEA is also leveraging its official Facebook and Twitter streams to encourage followers to sign the It Can Wait pledge. Follow CEA's live updates of today's activities online at #CEAtakesthepledge on Twitter as well as on the association's Digital Dialogue blog.

We will tackle this issue formally later in the Sports Economics course, but for now let's test this hypothesis informally. Since we only have four years of results with a salary cap, the results must be taken with a grain of salt - in other words I cannot make a conclusive statement either way, but will be able to make some conjectures below. So has the salary cap (payroll cap) brought competitive balance to the NHL?
Let's see what is happening to competitive balance in the NHL from a few different angles. One way of looking at this is to compare the level of competitive balance - as measured by the Noll-Scully metric - for the four years before the payroll cap and the four years after the payroll cap. Here are the results:
Season | Noll-Scully | ||
2000-01 | 1.858 | ||
2001-02 | 1.581 | ||
2002-03 | 1.592 | ||
2003-04 | 1.633 | ||
2005-06 | 1.637 | ||
2006-07 | 1.600 | ||
2007-08 | 1.037 | ||
2008-09 | 1.369 |
As evident in the table above, the Noll-Scully metric of competitive balance decreased from the during the four years before the payroll cap, and decreased during the four years after the payroll cap (in bold). Remember that as the Noll-Scully gets closer to zero, competitive balance is improving in the league, so smaller numbers are increases in competitive balance.
But this is really not anything new. Since the 1970's, the average measure of the Noll-Scully metric has been declining as shown in the table below. (Note the 2000's does not include the 2009-10 season, since it has not occurred yet).
Decade | Ave. Noll-Scully |
1970's | 2.557 |
1980's | 1.969 |
1990's | 1.796 |
2000's | 1.538 |
Hence, stating that the decline in Noll-Scully measure of competitive balance in the four years since the introduction of the payroll cap ignores the decades of decline in the Noll-Scully measure of competitive balance WITHOUT a payroll cap.
As we argue in The Wages of Wins, and detail in our paper - The Short Supply of Tall People - competitive balance is declining not because of changes in league institutional rules - such as payroll caps - but rather due to the increasing pool of talent to play sports, such as hockey. So I am skeptical that the payroll cap is really having anything to do with the declines in the Noll-Scully measure of competitive balance.
