Apple bit by Apple TV setback
Shares of Apple Inc. slipped more than 2 percent in morning trading on the Nasdaq stock market one day after the consumer electronics maker said it would delay its foray into the living room by several weeks.
Shares of Apple Inc. slipped more than 2 percent in morning trading on the Nasdaq stock market one day after the consumer electronics maker said it would delay its foray into the living room by several weeks.
Apple Inc. is likely to hold a media event to launch its upcoming Leopard operating system in the coming months, and may also introduce ultra portables and expand its iPhone distribution to other retailers shortly thereafter, UBS Investment Research said this week.
Goldman Sachs on Thursday dropped Apple from its Conviction Buy list, citing the potential for negative speculation in the months leading up to the company's June iPhone launch.
Each iPhone sold will generate nearly a 50 percent gross margin for Apple Inc. and partner Cingular Wireless, giving the companies a hefty profit, as well as plenty of room for future price cuts, according to research firm iSuppli.
Apple on Wednesday released results for its fiscal 2007 first quarter ended December 30, 2006, which included record revenue of $7.1 billion and record net quarterly profit of $1.0 billion, or $1.14 per diluted share.
Apple, which reports earnings for its fiscal first quarter later today, is likely to beat consensus estimates for both earnings and product shipments, according to one Wall Street analyst.
Apple's new iPhone presents a serious risk to PDA-maker Palm, according to Bear Stears, who on Wednesday raised estimates and increased its price objective on Apple.
UBS Investment Research on Tuesday increased its estimates and 12-month price target on shares of iPod maker Apple, Inc., saying it sees the company's new iPhone device as a 'revolutionary' product that 'can thrive as a convergence platform for years to come.'
Shares of Apple Computer inched up by a percent on Monday after an analyst for JPMorgan raised estimates for the company's December quarter and said checks indicate a new hard disk drive-based iPod may be near.
Apple Computer, which reports results of its first fiscal quarter of 2007 later this month, is likely to announce sales of 1.8 million Macs during the three-month period, including 1.1 million notebooks, according to Goldman Sachs.
Caris & Company on Thursday initiated coverage of Apple Computer with an "Above Average" rating and $100 price target, calling the company a clear "winner in the consumer electronics space."
Apple Computer's upcoming iPhone handset could potentially generate an incremental 70 cents in per share earnings and $6 billion in revenue for the company during the 2007 calendar year, one Wall Street analyst says.
PiperJaffray analyst Gene Munster on Thursday issued a report to clients that analytically addresses 16 more unanswered questions surrounding the Apple Computer story.
Apple Computer plans to introduce two iPod-based cell phone models in the first quarter of 2007 that it will initially manufacture in limited quantities, says one analyst.
Analysts for Citgroup on Monday said they expect Apple Computer to sell as many as 18.8 million iPods during the December quarter, but cut their rating on shares of the company to "Hold" from "Buy" due to a lack of potential revenue upside in the near term.
Analysts for UBS Investment Research on Wednesday increased their forecast for Mac unit sales during Apple Computer's third fiscal quarter after checks showed solid education buying and increasing interest in the company's MacBook notebook line.
PiperJaffray analyst Gene Munster this week issued a research note to clients in which he addresses "22 unanswered questions surrounding the Apple story."
Research and investment firm PiperJaffray this week told clients it would be buyers of Apple Computer shares given the recent pullback, explaining that the company should soon benefit from Intel Mac sales and is very likely to announce a cellphone-based product in the near term.
New Apple product introductions should accelerate in 2006 as Apple transitions to an all-Intel Mac lineup, continues to build out the iPod platform, and launches its long-anticipated invasion of the digital living room, says Needham & Company.
After polling consumers on their purchase plans this holiday shopping season, Morgan Stanley remains bullish on Apple and believes the company's growth-driven portfolio franchise will continue to accelerate in 2006.

Install The 2007 PPC Gentoo
What is Gentoo Linux? Gentoo Linux is a distribution of Linux that emphasizes customization. Read more about Gentoo at gentoo.org.[1]
Using this method you can install an entire Gentoo image on your PowerPC-based (PPC) Linkstation or Kurobox, complete with Portage and overlay, in about 15 minutes (actually with downloading and unpacking I think it might be more like 30 - 45 minutes).
These instructions are admittedly Kurobox centric, however PPC linkstations should work with the image as well. Please add to or correct these instructions to make them work for both platforms if you find anything missing or confusing.
The image was created immediately following a deep world update, and is the only version of the Gentoo image now required (the previous install image had two versions). The only requirement is that your box must have a U-Boot that boots to a 2.6 kernel and supports dtb, e.g., U-Boot 1.2 (see below). The new image includes a 2.6.22 kernel and dtb file, generated from gentoo-sources.
- 1 Origins of the Gentoo Image
- 2 Preparing for Install
- 2.1 U-Boot 1.2
- 2.2 Download needed files

Origins of the Gentoo Image
A Little History
(please fill in missing info, I don't mean to leave anyone out)
This Gentoo image has its roots in the kurobox.com forums, probably dating back to 2005 or so. jgmdean kicked off the project and TGL and others in the forums made valuable contributions. With the advent of U-Boot for the Kurobox and Linkstation from linuxnotincluded, the submission of the Linkstation patches to kernel.org by lyakh, and the 126.96.36.199 firmimg.bin for EM mode by mindbender, the Gentoo image is now thriving again with support for both PPC Linkstations and Kuroboxes.
Preparing for Install
U-Boot 1.2
It is recommended that you have U-Boot 1.2 installed prior to installing the Gentoo image due to the dtb requirement. The instructions for installing U-Boot 1.2 are here on the wiki. You don't have to build the kernel as it shows in the instructions if you don't want to since there is a kernel supplied in the Gentoo image. Also, you may be able to find a U-Boot 1.2 pre-built and ready to flash in the downloads section (for the HG: here). Please be careful doing this upgrade.
The rest of these instructions assume you have a working U-Boot 1.2.
Download needed files
You will need to download the Gentoo image, the EM mode utilities, and the latest Portage tree.
- For the EM mode utilities, download from here: EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz
- For the Gentoo 15-minute image, download from here: gentoo-20071104-uboot.tar.bz2
- For the latest Portage snapshot, use a Gentoo mirror near you (see Gentoo Mirror), and navigate to the Portage 'snapshots'. I use ibiblio for example portage-latest.tar.bz2.
Install EM mode utilities
Now we need to switch the box to EM mode[2]. There are a variety of ways to do this two of which are described below:
- 1: From the U-Boot 1.2 boot menu type 'run emboot', or if using foonas-em 'run fooflboot', then wait for the box to boot.
- 2: Turn on your box, wait a few seconds, then press the Power button three times (you should now see the Disk Full LED start to repeat a three flash pattern). This is EM mode. Now wait for the box to boot. A YouTube video showing this method is here.
For Linkstations with Kernel 2.4.17 or 2.4.20 (Stock firmimg.bin)
You need to install the 220.127.116.11 firmimg.bin which features telnet/ftp like the Kurobox one does. Look to Uboot_firmimg.bin_ppc for installation instructions.
For boxes with 22.214.171.124 firmimg.bin (Kurobox/KuroboxHG/LS1/HG/HS)
The binaries from EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz should already be included but it was reported that bzip2 was missing. This means you'll need to install the EM_mode_binaries and set the date as described below.
For Kuroboxes (Kurobox or Kurobox HG) 2.4.17/2.4.20 (Stock firmimg.bin)
After it boots to EM mode, use any FTP client to upload EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz to /tmp on the LS/Kuro (Hint: Windows may change the extension of the file when you download it from the internet).
then login to LS/Kuro using a telnet client.
Kroutoshikou KURO-BOX (IETSUNA) kernel 2.4.17-kuro-box on ppc KURO-BOX-EM login: root Password: kuro (kuroadmin on HG)
Change to the root and untar the binaries:
# cd / # tar xvzf /tmp/EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz bin/ bin/sfdisk bin/fdisk bin/bzip2 bin/date bin/chroot #
Check and set the date ('date MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY]' will set the date):
# date Fri Feb 1 12:37:03 JST 2006 # date 02032238 Thu Feb 3 22:38:00 JST 2006
Partitioning & Formating the HDD
Note: The /etc/fstab file that comes with the Gentoo image is configured to work with a simple hard drive partitioning scheme. If you want to use a different partitioning scheme you must edit /etc/fstab accordingly. The flash contains the standard visual editor, vi. Instructions for using vi are available at http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html.
Note: the image is prepared for use with an instream 2.6 kernel, which uses the PATA driver, or /dev/sda, for the hard drive. When running under a 2.4 kernel or a legacy 2.6 kernel with out-of-stream patches, the drive is /dev/hda. Keep that in mind when creating the partitions and editing the fstab file.
Run fdisk and create partitions. The image uses three partitions: sda1 for /, sda2 for the swap space, sda3 for /datafiles. This section from the Gentoo Handbook explains how to prepare your hard disk (create partitions). For most users, 10gb for / on sda1 and is adequate (the image consumes around 1.4G when freshly installed). 512mb is good for a swap space on sda2 and use the remainder for /datafiles on sda3. However, you can decide which way you want to break up your hard disk. Remember you need to mount all of the drives (except the swap and /datafiles) before you untar the image (More on that later).
# fdisk /dev/hda (to match the fstab supplied in the image, you will need to create 3 partitions, 1=~10G, 2=~512M, 3=rest-of-drive)
Once the partitions are created we format the partitions. Here we format the first partition on /dev/hda (the hard drive is /dev/hda):
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 1251712 inodes, 2502115 blocks 125105 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 77 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16256 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (8192 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 29 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. #
We do this for all of the partitions we plan to use.
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda3
# mkswap /dev/hda2 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 518184960 bytes #
Install Gentoo Image
Mount new partitions
This will allow us to create the Gentoo system on the hard drive instead of in the flash ram disk. We will create the directoy /gentoo and mount /dev/hda1 there.
# mkdir /gentoo # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /gentoo (if you created any other partitions to be mounted under /, you should mkdir and mount them now)
Create a directory for uploading the tarballs through ftp:
# mkdir /gentoo/tarballs # chmod ugo+wx /gentoo/tarballs
Extracting the Image
Use your FTP client to upload the Gentoo image (gentoo-20071104-uboot.tar.bz2) to the /gentoo/tarballs directory on the Kuro/LS.
Then, back at the EM-mode prompt, change directories to /gentoo and untar the image in what will be our root directory:
# cd /gentoo # tar xvjf tarballs/gentoo-20071104-uboot.tar.bz2
Extracting the portage snapshot
Again, use your ftp client to upload the Portage snapshot (portage-latest.tar.bz2) to the /gentoo/tarballs directory on the kuro/LS
Then, back at the EM-mode prompt, untar the snapshot into the usr directory:
# cd /gentoo/usr # tar xvjf /gentoo/tarballs/portage-latest.tar.bz2
Once the snapshot is untarred, we are finished with the tarballs so we can remove them from the disk:
# cd /gentoo # rm -r tarballs
Configure Network
Next we configure the network:
If you want to change the hostname now, edit this file:
# vi /gentoo/etc/conf.d/hostname
If you want to use DHCP you can skip this step as the image is configured for DHCP. Note that if DHCP fails the box will fallback to the well-known IP address of 192.168.11.150.
# vi /gentoo/etc/conf.d/net
The Gentoo Handbook Section 4 explains how to configure the settings for various options. The /etc/conf.d/net file supplied in the image looks like this:
# This configuration will use DHCP for eth0 but fallback to the # well-known 192.168.11.150 if DHCP fails config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) fallback_eth0=( "192.168.11.150/24" )
You may have to configure your DNS servers in resolv.conf file according to your network. If you stick to DHCP you generally don't have to edit the file, as it will be generated by dhcpcd upon bootup.
# vi /gentoo/etc/resolv.conf
The file supplied in the image looks like this:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
Configure Settings for the Kernel
If you want to use the kernel supplied in the image, you can skip this section as long as your U-Boot is configured to load the kernel "boot/vmlinux.UBoot", and the appropriate dtb file as shown below. If you want to use a different kernel you should place it in gentoo/boot now and configure U-Boot accordingly. Note, the kernel supplied with the image disables the AVR watchdog at bootup and sets up the AVR device at /dev/ttyS0. The legacy kernels (kernels from baulub, javascout, and nowadays available through andre's webinstaller) typically have the AVR device at /dev/ttyS1 and do not disable the AVR watchdog. The AVR_watch-dog_daemon for Linkstation package (avr_evtd from the overlay) is present in the image however, which sends a keepalive signal to the watchdog, so you should not have to worry about resets (but you should move the daemon from the default runlevel to the boot runlevel). If you use a legacy kernel you must adjust a few things to account for the AVR device and also for the PATA vs. IDE driver.
These items must be changed if you use a legacy kernel:
- /etc/fstab: change /dev/sda to /dev/hda
- /etc/inittab: change ttyS1 to ttyS0
- /etc/conf.d/avr_evtd: change ttyS0 to ttyS1 and /dev/sda to /dev/hda
- /etc/conf.d/rc: change ttyS0 to ttyS1
- /etc/conf.d/local.stop: change ttyS0 to ttyS1
The kernel supplied in the image was built from gentoo-sources. The uname -a looks like:
Linux gmyth 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 #1 Tue Oct 16 03:22:32 EDT 2007 ppc 82xx Linkstation I/Kurobox(HG) GNU/Linux
The contents of the /boot directory supplied in the image are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 653994 Oct 16 22:09 System.map lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Oct 2 23:42 boot -> . -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37690 Oct 16 22:09 config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2180 Oct 16 22:10 kuroboxHD.dtb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3338 Oct 16 22:08 kuroboxHD.dts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2196 Oct 16 22:10 kuroboxHG.dtb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3369 Oct 16 22:08 kuroboxHG.dts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1588842 Oct 16 22:08 vmlinux.UBoot
Clean up and Reboot
Unmount everything:
# cd / # # (umount any partitions you may have mounted if you departed from the provided fstab) # umount /gentoo
Set the box to boot to the new system. By the way, that device is FL3 in lowercase. (This step is optional nowadays with uboot).
# echo -n "OKOK" > /dev/fl3
and then restart the system:
# shutdown -r now
Wait a few minutes and then log onto your Kuro/LS with putty or ssh. The first time the system boots it will take about 3 minutes as it needs to generate the certificates used by sshd.
Login as root with the password: kuroadmin.
What if it doesn't seem to boot? Give it plenty of time -- it might be doing a fsck. If you still cannot connect, see #Troubleshooting.
Post Installation Tasks
First we set the root password and create a new user who is a member of wheel so they can su to root:
# cd / # passwd New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully # useradd dtaylor -m -G users,wheel -s /bin/bash # passwd dtaylor New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully #
Now would be a good time to update everything. Let's sync the overlay with the svn server. First, I suggest optionally backing up the installed overlay:
# cd /usr/local/portage/layman # cp -r ls-wiki ../ls-wiki.bak
Then sync the overlay with the subversion server:
# layman -S
Since we used the latest portage snapshot you can probably skip this next step, but to be sure you have the latest Portage tree you can sync it now with this command:
# emerge --sync
Then you should check what packages are out of date with a command like this:
# emerge --pretend --update --deep world
This will show you what packages are out-of-date since the image was created. I always like to do --pretend to see what it's going to do before doing it for real (some people may prefer to use --ask instead of --pretend to avoid waiting if the update is chosen). To really update everything, use this command:
# emerge --update --deep world
Last, if anything was updated and portage says we need to update our config files we run etc-update. Don't do this blindly as you can easily break your brand new system. You need to understand what the configuration files mean and choose what lines you want to edit. On the other hand, the box is plain vanilla at this point so the configuration files supplied with the updated packages are probably ok to accept.
# etc-update
That's it. You're done. If you are new to Gentoo, check out the Gentoo Handbook "Where to go from here?". Also, you should consider going to the Administrate Your Gentoo System page and installing some system utilities (note, the last time I checked, that page on the wiki was woefully obsolete - there are no bin packages available for this image so don't bother with the PORTAGE_BINHOST setting).
Notes on initial configuration
The timezone in the image is set for New York, or EST/EDT. If you live in a different timezone, you should change this link. Look for your timezone in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ and then create a link to your desired timezone:
# cd /etc # rm localtime # ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/<your-desired-timezone-here> localtime
Check your setting with the 'date' command. Also if you need to change the clock, use the 'hwclock' command. You also may want to emerge the ntp package to set your clock in sync with Internet time servers.
There is a timezone setting in this file as well. You can set the timezone to the same one as the link above.
# vi /etc/conf.d/clock (set the TIMEZONE to something like TIMEZONE="America/New_York")
This file contains a setting for the AVR device. Since the image contains a kernel that uses /dev/ttyS0 for the AVR device, the file contains a line like this:
This file is run whenever the box is shutting down for halt or reboot. There is a little bit of code in this file such that if "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now" is run from the command line, the AVR is told to turn off the power or start a reset. The following code is in the /etc/conf.d/local.stop file:
#AVR_DEVICE should come from /etc/rc.conf [ -z "${AVR_DEVICE}" ] && AVR_DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 # on halt [ "${RUNLEVEL}X" = "0X" ] && echo -n "EEEE" > ${AVR_DEVICE} # on reboot [ "${RUNLEVEL}X" = "6X" ] && echo -n "CCCC" > ${AVR_DEVICE}
Note the avr_evtd package does this when the power button on the front panel is pushed (once long to halt or twice quick to reboot), and it seems ok to have it done twice when using the power button.
The image as delivered has just a few packages emerged beyond the basic system. The contents of the world file are:

The image is taking advantage of the noteworthy layman package for managing the overlay. This provides the ability to download updates from the nas-central/linkstationwiki subversion server at sourceforge. This is a very powerful utility, but perhaps should not be trusted blindly. I suggest making a backup of the /usr/local/portage/layman/ls-wiki directory tree after the first install and each time before using the "layman -S" command. Also, check occasionally in the forums at nas-central.org (in Software Development (ppc)) and kurobox.com (under the gentoo project [these two forums should eventually merge into one at nas-central]) for announcements regarding new packages that may be added to the overlay.
The kernel provided in the image was built from gentoo-sources. Then, to keep the image size smaller, the gentoo-sources package was unmerged and removed after the kernel was built. If you want to build a new kernel for some reason, you can do something like the following:
# emerge gentoo-sources # cp /boot/config /usr/src/linux/.config # cd /usr/src/linux # make oldconfig # make menuconfig # make uImage && make modules && make modules_install
Then copy the uImage file to /boot/vmlinux.UBoot or the appropriate name for your U-Boot:
# cp arch/powerpc/boot/uImage /boot/vmlinux.UBoot
And finally compile your .dtb file:
# cd /boot # dtc -f -I dts -O dtb -o kuroboxHG.dtb -V 16 kuroboxHG.dts # cp arch/powerpc/boot/dts/kuroboxHG.dts /boot/
shutdown/reboot 5-minute delay
The box takes 5 minutes to perform a shutdown (power off) or reboot. This seems to be a feature with the AVR (if anyone knows how to improve this, let us know - the stock implementation did not seem to take this long). I believe it in fact does not take half this time to actually complete shutting down, so if you are really impatient, you can probably just cycle the power after about 3 minutes and be ok. Note, if you have installed a lot of services the shutdown process could take longer so beware.
---> To see how to fix this, see this forum message.
Running Gentoo on the LS/Kurobox works great, but compiling is slow. If you have a x86 or other more capable CPU running linux, it can help significantly to run distcc on the more capable CPU and enable the LS/Kurobox to offload some of the work for big emerges. See this howto to set it up.
U-Boot Output on netcat
To see the U-Boot output through netcat, your PC should have an IP address on the same subnet as the uboot setup. If you went with the typical setup, you should set your PC to 192.168.11.149. See the wiki page on netcat and uboot: NetCat-A UBoot-Friendly Network Utility. If you have a linux PC, use a command like "ifconfig eth0:EM 192.168.11.149". This will give you a second IP address for your ethernet interface. If you have a Windows PC, you will have to set the IP address through the properties on the network interface. Then use the nc command like this:
nc -u -p 6666 -v -v 192.168.11.150 6666
You should see something like the following in the nc window during bootup. Note it says it is loading the kernel file "Loading 0:1:boot/vmlinux.UBoot". Also note it says it uncompresses the kernel ok and that it is loading the flat device tree:

If you cannot find the box on the network, try the fallback IP address 192.168.11.150.
If you still cannot find the box on the network, try to shutdown the box by holding the power button for about 3 seconds. The Power LED should start blinking to indicate the box is going to shut down. If the Power LED does not start blinking, you will probably have to pull the power cord. Go back to EM mode and mount the /dev/hda1 partition. Look in the var/log directory for a file called boot.msg. This file is created during the boot process. It may give you some clues as to what is going on. Note, this file is created because /etc/conf.d/rc has RC_BOOTLOG="yes" and the image has emerged app-admin/showconsole. If you don't have a file called boot.msg, look harder at the netcat output, perhaps the kernel is not successfully booting.
If you are still having trouble, post a message to the forums at forum.nas-central.org.

Donald Neilson aka The Black Panther
On January 14, 1975 Donald Neilson aka the Black Panther, kidnaps his last victim, 17 year old Lesley Whittle from her bedroom at her family home in Highley, Shropshire, England. Donald Neilson , (who was born Donald Nappey) was a British murderer and armed robber. He turned to crime when a business he owned failed.
It is believed he committed over 400 house burglaries without detection during his early days of crime. Before he became notorious as The Black Panther he was sought under a variety of nicknames such as The Phantom and Handy Andy. To confuse the police, he adopted a different modus operandi every few weeks. For example he would steal a radio from each house and abandon it nearby then when that pattern of behaviour was established he would drop it and do something else. Proceeds from simple housebreaking were low however and after stealing guns and ammunition from a house in Cheshire he upped his criminal activity which resulted in him turning to robbing small post offices. Neilson committed eighteen such crimes between 1971 and 1974.
His crimes became progressively more violent as he sought to protect himself from occupants prepared to put up a resistance to defend their property. Neilson's first three murders occurred in 1974. He shot dead two postmasters and the husband of a postmistress as well as brutally battering sub-postmistress Margaret 'Peggy' Grayland in post office robberies. He killed Donald Skepper in Harrogate in February 1974, Derek Astin of Baxenden in September 1974, and Sidney Grayland in Langley during November 1974. The Baxenden murder gained Neilson the nickname The Black Panther when, during an interview with a local television reporter, Astin's wife, Marion, described her husband's killer as "so quick, he was like a panther". Alluding to the killer's dark clothing, the enterprising reporter ended his piece by asking "Where is this Black Panther?" and the soubriquet stuck.
Lesley Whittle was a 17-year-old girl and was Neilson's youngest victim. Whittle came from a wealthy family. On January 14, 1975 Neilson entered the Whittle family home and kidnapped Lesley from her bedroom. Neilson calculated that the family would not materially miss £50,000 of their fortune, and so made a subsequent demand in a note left at the family home for that sum. A series of police bungles and other circumstances meant that Whittle's brother Ronald was unable to deliver the ransom money to the place and time demanded by the kidnapper. Lesley's body was found on March 7, 1975, hanging from a wire at the bottom of the drainage shaft in in Kidsgrove, Staffordshire.
On December 11, 1975 two policemen, spotted Neilson acting suspiciously outside a post office. They approached him and he pulled a sawed-off shotgun on them and ordered them to drive to Blidworth. Evebtually the officers were able to disarm and subdue Neilson with the help of a bystander. Neilson's trial began at Oxford Crown Court on June 14, 1975. On July 1, 1976 he was convicted of Lesley Whittle's murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. During the trial he claimed that Lesley had died when she had accidently fallen off the platform he had left her on. In 2008, Neilson was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, a progressive and fatal condition and died on December 18, 2011.

Last weekend, everyone was in NYC for the big Street League Super Crown, so Nike SB threw its launch party for Brian Anderson's Project BA shoe Friday night, August 23. The event was at the Ludlow Studios Gallery in the Lower East Side. Wood fired pizzas were being cooked outside on the street, inside, BA's art was all over the walls and the floor in the form of big sculptures. His new 3D decks were on the wall, and everyone was invited to grab a hot pink disposable camera out of one of the bowls and snap away (all of the below photos were shot on two disposables). Unlocking The Truth, a metal band from Brooklyn comprised of 12-year olds, rocked the house. A fun night I'll say! It was cool that we took a couple of those boards off the wall, right?

Dr Future, August 23rd, 2011 - Predictions, Pre-crime and the iP/hone/pad App Phenomenon
It's funny how the idea of 'prediction' has been so prevalent today. First, was a demo of an alien oracle, recently created by this week's guest, Santa Cruz's own iPhone/iPad app developer Mark Buchanon. Then there were the stories, today's stories, beginning with the use of what's known as 'predictive policing' by the Santa Cruz Police Dept. And there is the National Institutes of Health's use of new computational software that allows the predicting of new uses for old drugs. And let us not forget Stanford researcher's new method for predicting dangerous solar flares! All covered in our news segment..
And for the second segment of our show, programmer Mark Buchanon educates us about the entreprenurial opportunies in developing iPhone/iPad apps, a billion dollar industry that did not exist a scant 3 years ago! Oh yes, that er, "Alien Oracle' app is pretty amazing, based on a visual trinary code, but not quite yet ready for primetime.. soon..

We've all been hit hard with the economy the way that it is and if you are like myself, you've been hit a bit harder because I am still out of work. I wasn't laid off or anything, I willing left my job and life in California to move back East to be with Bryan. I don't regret my decision by any means – I think it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. If I didn't move in the summer who knows if or when it would have happened. There were other factors (like our families) into moving when I did but he was the main reason. Seeing as I left my job, I do not collect unemployment and have no income or health insurance. I spend my days searching and applying for jobs – which is usually about 20 jobs! I'm not being picky and only applying for certain jobs, I am applying to anything and everything that I remotely qualify, however the call backs are scarce. sparse. Honestly as depressing and defeating as it is, I keep doing it every day. I know something will come along, I just hope it happens soon. It is funny because the few responses I have received back say I am over qualified and that is one thing I have never been told in my life, usually it is the opposite because even though I have about 10 years of administrative work under my belt (mostly in Higher Education admissions) I am under qualified because I don't have a Bachelor's degree (actually any degree for that matter).
I would love to someday have the ability to donate my time with an organization or be a part time food blogger and work part-time, but right now we need me to be working. I enjoy working (and earning a pay check) actually I miss working. People keep telling me that once I get a job I'll be wishing for this time again, and I'm sure I will at some point but I think it might take a while for me to feel that way.
So with being out of work for a total of four months we have learned to not only live the gluten-free life creatively but also frugally! I am a coupon clipper and at first Bryan would make fun of me for it but I think now he is pretty thankful for my OCD with coupons. Each week when we get the grocery ads I scour them looking for the good sales. We normally don't buy anything that isn't on sale. I'm a big fan of the buy one get one items. We buy more fresh items vs. processed items.
I also try to make as many gluten-free things that I possibly can instead of buying them at the stores such as granola, bread, salad dressings, cookies, ice tea, mochas, cakes and pies. Sadly however, I am running low on all of my gluten-free flours and my xanthan gum! So I have to be careful until I can afford to order some new ones. Today I was trying to think of other things I can make at home with the ingredients I have on hand instead of buying. One thing that came to mind is taco seasoning. We eat tacos fairly often because it is a quick and easy meal that we both enjoy. So I did some searching around online to find out what people really put in taco seasoning because the packages are a bit vague listing "spices" – well that is obvious but which ones? Here is what I came up with, and should probably note we really enjoy spicy foods in our house so you might want to adjust this recipe to your level of spice preference. We tried this tonight and it was really good, if I do say so myself!
CCGF's Taco Seasoning (GF/OF/DF)
1 Tablespoon Corn Starch (I noticed some people used Potato Starch or Corn Flour)
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder (make sure it is gluten-free!)
1 Teaspoon Paprika
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (You might want to use only 1/4 teaspoon if you don't like much spice)
1/2 Teaspoon Chipolte Pepper (You can omit this or use 1/4 teaspoon)
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Sugar
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl or plastic bag, mix well. Store in an airtight container.
1lb – 1 1/2lb ground beef or turkey
Taco Seasoning (see above)
2/3 Cup water
Corn tortilla shells -hard or soft
Shredded lettuce (optional)
Shredded cheese (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Avocado (optional)
In a large skillet on medium heat, brown beef and drain off any fat, about 8-10 minutes. Add taco seasoning stir until well combined then add water. Simmer over medium heat until sauce has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve in taco shells with your favorite toppings. You can even make nachos with this instead!
Here is to living the gluten-free life creatively and frugally!

Right about now I'm beginning to think about daylight. I'm watching it slip away because as of June 22nd our allotment began decreasing, heading into that downward slide toward December 21st when we'll get the shortest day of the year. When the light first started ebbing we only lost a few seconds each day--hardly worth mentioning--but as our rotation around the sun gains distance we see the sun less and less until we're losing nearly six minutes each day.
I'm already starting to notice it, it used to be that I could stay up all night and still see the flower beds out front and I rarely turned on our lights--we didn't need to--but today the sun rose at 5:59 am and will set at 10:08 pm, a difference of 5 minutes and 30 seconds from yesterday. By this same time next week we'll be down by nearly 40 more minutes of precious light and still gaining speed.
Some places get to hear about tropical storm warnings on the evening news, some hear about traffic jams, we listen for light. When Andrew and I lived in North Dakota we got a kick out of how every newscast included the price of the popular wheat strains (I had no idea there were so many) but here the daylight is our big commodity and everyone wants to know exactly where our daily accounts stand.
By the time the solstice hits it feels as if it's dark all day long, especially if you have a run of cloudy days which are common that time of year. Most of December and January if I'm driving even at high noon I'll keep my headlights on--not that it's midnight-black but it's always rather dusky and dark. The kind of weather that would be described in a screenplay as "brooding" and "oppressive."
The distances here can make you feel isolated as it is, there are 700 miles of Alaska in nearly any direction and most of that land is uninhabited--at least by creatures that aren't interested in eating me--but if the feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world in a frozen wilderness doesn't get you the solitude the darkness brings makes it even worse. It's cold outside so people aren't out as much, they make quick dashes from their cars to the office and you won't see neighbors outside chatting at the mailboxes. In the winter we can go weeks without seeing our neighbors, whom we pretty much expect are either trying to keep warm or are off on a beach in Hawaii, and the plows pile the snow berms higher and higher along the curbs until streets look like paths through a maze and your view into the neighbor's yard starts to disappear inch by inch.
But I can live with this, for me the worst part of winter is the little bit of worry I get when the real cold sets in that if there were a natural disaster--earthquakes being the main concern--or an economic crisis where the shipping lines to Anchorage were suddenly interrupted we'd be on our own. If there were a disaster where we couldn't use the gas to heat our house (something we need six months out of the year easily) we could freeze to death.
This might sound paranoid but it's probably the mom in me. Andrew makes frequent trips all year long up to Barrow, the northernmost point in North America, and every time he goes up there in winter I have this little tiny worry that if something happens--however slight the chances--that he'd be stranded on the outermost limits of the world in one of the harshest climates on earth.
A couple years ago one of the many Alaskan villages--I think it was unlucky Kivalina--was struck by a winter storm and the whole town lost power. I remember watching the news and sharing the panic that went out about how to get help to the village which was only accessible by air and with the storm raging the planes couldn't land. They were without heat in temperatures 20 and 30 degrees below zero.
Eventually rescue planes made it in and everyone was safe but the idea of being stuck like that--especially with my children--scares me if I ever care to dwell on it. I don't. The best I can do is keep an emergency supply of food, fuel and emergency gear on hand and pray that disasters wait until spring.
Living here it can be easy to find the negative in the situation, in winter when you go to school or work it's easy to miss the few hours of daylight we might get but the key to survival is using what you've been given. There may only be three or four hours of dusky light but those are the hours I use to go outside and get my errands run or to shovel the driveway--anything to soak up some rather weak rays.
I also like to look at it as a time to hibernate from the favorite things that take up time in the summer--gardening, mowing, washing the cars--so I can find the hours I need to write or read or try that new apple pie recipe. There's not much of a temptation to run outside and slack off on my chores when the windows are frozen shut and the moon is still out. Besides, luckily we live at a time when we don't have to do everything by candlelight so I can light up every light bulb in the house if I want and drive the gloom away.
But the biggest payoff is the Northern Lights.
Starting in about October the aurora start to become visible again. They're strongest around March 5th and if you happen to be awake on a clear night (which is always a cold night) you might get a show.
Rippling across the sky as if someone's shaking out a quilt, they run along in greens, purples, reds and blues and if you get really lucky--if the solar winds are extra strong--you might even get to hear them crackle and pop.
They writhed like a brood of angry snakes,You see them best when you're away from the lights of the city but there have been times when I've stood in the driveway with the porch lights shining down and stared at the colors twisting above my head as if someone's trying to make up for all that darkness and isolation we've had to endure.

Technical Support
Here are some helpful guides to keep your Canyon in top shape! Just pick the relevant category to find the solution to your issue.
Adjusting of SAG
Sag is the amount of compression travel that is achieved when man sits on the bike. This Sag or negative travel as it is also called is essential for the performance of the suspension because it guarantees traction and suspension comfort. If you ride through a hole in the ground, the wheel can rebound and absorb the shock.
If the Sag is too low, then the suspension is adjusted too hard and you won't be able to use the entire travel. If it on the other hand is too high, then the suspension will be too soft and will bottom out. This is how you adjust your Sag.
Adjusting Sag
1. The basis for adjusting the Sag is the travel of both suspension elements. The amount of travel can be found at here in the Supportcenter or it is indicated on the relevant shock or in your bike instruction manual.
2. First push the rubber ring on the shock piston as far up as it will go as shown. Picture 1
3. Now sit carefully on the saddle and take up your usual position on the saddle. You feet should not come into contact with the ground. The shock now compresses and pushes the rubber ring downwards. Picture 2
TIP: When measuring Sag, dress as you would when you go for a ride. If you ride with a rucksack, then don't forget to put it on because the total overall weight of rider and equipment is crucial when measuring the Sag.
4. When getting off the bike make sure that the shock doesn't rebound more than necessary by getting off carefully. The best thing to do is let yourself drop sideways and support yourself with one leg. Now you can get off carefully.
5. Now you can measure the Sag, i.e. the distance from the shock body to the rubber ring as shown. Picture 3 depending on your riding style, bike category and personal taste the Sag should make up around 15% (race, marathon), 30% (downhill) of the entire travel, the exception to this is the 2013 Strive which we would also suggest 15%. You can easily calculate this value using the travel and Sag measurement. Sag multiplied by 100 and then divided by travel.
6. If the Sag is too low, you'll need to let a little air out of the shock. If the Sag is too great, you'll need to pump it up a little. Picture 4 Use the appropriate fork and shock pump.
Tip: When unscrewing the valve on the fork pump, a pressure loss of up to 1 bar is possible. Unscrew the pump valve quickly after inflation so that as little pressure as possible is lost.
Repeat steps 2 to 6 until the correct Sag is adjusted.
6. Now it is the turn of the fork. You do exactly the same thing as with the shock.
7. Slide the rubber ring right down to the bottom. Picture 5
8. Sit down on the bike again, raise your feet and lean against a wall. Do this with your cycling clothes on.
9. Now you can measure the Sag here too Picture 6 and if required, correct the Sag using air pressure. Picture 7 Use the appropriate fork and shock pump. On many Rock Shox forks the Sag is already marked on the fork as a percentage and can be read off directly.
In the case of suspension elements with steel springs you can change the spring pre-load and spring hardness in order to adjust the Sag. In the case of Rock Shox Dual Air forks the Sag becomes greater, the less air is pumped into the positive air chamber.
The Sag should be adjusted if the weight of the rider changes dramatically, for example due to a heavy rucksack. The platform or the lockout should be open when doing Sag adjustments.
After you have adjusted the Sag you can perform further adjustments on the suspension elements such as rebound, compression, ProPedal and Platform.
Adjusting Sag with the Sag monitor
Canyon Torque models are fitted with a Sag Monitor. You can determine the Sag easily with this dial.
The Sag Monitor dial remains in the position at the shock's lowest point of compression. In order to put the dial back to zero, you turn the dial back in a clockwise direction. You will need to apply a little pressure to turn the dial. Picture 8
Thanks to the Sag Monitor the adjustment of negative travel is both precise and easy to do. A drag indicator on the rocker arm pivot clearly shows the amount of Sag for the various areas of use. The system also has a further advantage. After a downhill ride it is possible to read off from the dial the maximum amount of travel used.

Girdwood[2] is a community with the Municipality of Anchorage located about 30 miles south of Anchorage, Alaska along the Seward Highway and is home to Alaska's largest ski area, the Alyeska Resort, which was home to the 2007 US Alpine Ski Championships.
Get in[edit]
The main access to Girdwood is along The Seward Highway, it is a very scenic drive but can be slow during peak summer travel times.
Girdwood does have a small landing strip/airport in town but it is primarily used as a base of operations for local heli-skiing guide companies [3] and given the length of the runway it is suitable for only small prop planes; thus ruling out air travel as a method for getting to town. This means almost everyone who comes to Girdwood including Alaskan locals come in by car or shuttle. For those originating farther a field the closest major airport is the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage. The airport is served by most major airlines and can be reached on non-spot flights from such major US cities as Denver, Seattle, and Minneapolis. If not renting a car, prior to arrival one should arrange shuttle travel to Girdwood and have them meet you at the airport.
By bus Girdwood is 40 miles or 1 hours ride from Anchorage, it is serviced by the Seward bus line [4].
Get around[edit]
Currently the Alyeska Resort Hotel does provide a shuttle from the hotel to the Seward Highway. Given this situation, the tiny nature of the town and that a shuttle is an easy option from Anchorage there is no desperate need for a rental car.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Girdwood and its accompanying ski area Alyeska resort comprise a four season full service resort current available activities are:
Buy[edit][add listing]
There is not much really in the way of shopping in Girdwood, the Alyeska Resort Hotel [14] carries a full line of resort and town logo wear in one of its shops, a few restaurants sell local art work, and of course there is the requisite very good ski shop in town called World Cup Sports [15] that sells all of the snow sports gear you could ever need.
Eat[edit][add listing]
Girdwood is a surprisingly good place to eat with a lot of genuine, well done, and well priced food.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Sleep[edit][add listing]
The primary place to stay in Girdwood is the Alyeska Resort Hotel, expected to undergo a large remodel in May and June of this year (2007) it features hundreds of rooms and no less than six restaurants. [22] Despite its mega resort billing though rates a very affordable especially when compared with major resorts in the lower 48.
Another fine choice is Alyeska Accommodations, with Girdwood's largest inventory of nightly vacation rentals. They have lodging options for every budget. Offering rooms, B&B, Romantic cabins with private hot tubs, Slope side condos and Luxury Mt.homes and Chalets for familily gatherings, weddings and meetings. [23] Stop by their office in the heart of the Chugach Mts. for your key and helpful information. 907 783-2000 203 Olympic Mt Loop, Girdwood, Alaska,99587
B&B options[edit]
Stay Safe[edit]
Crime is not much of a concern in Girdwood and the surrounding area; however, as is the case in all of Alaska, mother nature is less amiable. Threats include: bears, floods, and weather. Snowstorms blow in quickly and can cause power outages that may last days depending on the remoteness of your location, as well as block off roads with several feet of snow that may fall in a single night. Bring extra food, just in case, and always carry chains in your car as the road restrictions can come up quickly.
Do not feed the bears. Do not leave food or food wrappers in your car.
Get out[edit]
Prince William Sound is only a 30 minute drive from Girdwood. Sea Kayaking is a great way for energetic people to explore the coves and bays of this pristine environment.

The reddit community has presented a workaround for problems users were having playing Far Cry 3, as the shooter sequel is now available in Europe, saying simply setting the game's Uplay mode to "offline" allows it to be played even with the servers unavailable. As detailed on Rock, Paper, Shotgun, many users were unable to play due to Uplay servers being offline, leading to accusations of more Ubisoft always-on DRM. In the meantime, Eurogamer notes that besides the workaround, Ubi tweets that the servers are back: "Dear #FarCry3PC players, thank you for your patience, our servers are back up & running. Have fun playing!"

Revision as of 14:12, 13 January 2013
IPTV is a name for a collection of technologies used to stream Television over the Internet. Essentially, it's the protocols RTC/RTCP or RTSP for streaming the video & audio, and SAP/SDP to announce the streams, all operating over UDP multicast.
Differentiation and Support
Different live media transmission standards get called IPTV
- DVB-IPTV (formerly DVB-IPI)
- TV and radio can be recorded by the backend.
- MPEG 2 SPTS over multicast (or almost DVB-IPTV. that's usually what your ISP serves you e.g. Freebox, MPEG2 TS Multicast on MBone)
- TV and radio can be recorded by the backend.
- stuff thats at least somewhat close to some MPEG standard (MPEG Codecs via HTTP etc., think Shoutcast Radios)
- can not be recorded directly. Some can be remuxed by VideoLAN on demand into SPTS and fed into the backend.
- any other media streaming via IP Networks (basically stuff that does not fit into a MPEG2 SPTS, like ShoutcastTV)
- can not be recorded directly. Some can be transcoded by VideoLAN on demand into SPTS and fed into the backend.
Video (and Audio) on demand can be split similarly into
- DVB/MPEG conformant services
- Services that can be repackaged into DVB/MPEG (many podcasts)
- Services that are completely different (many video hosting sites)
- MythNews supports Youtube feeds.
Currently, there are a few implementations of SAP/SDP and RTP/RTCP that can be used to emulate being on an IPTV system. The most advanced version of this would be VideoLAN, which will take any kind of file it can open and will stream it over RTP/RTCP or RTSP (In version 8.3+), with automatic announcement over SAP/SDP.
Provider Specifics
Sasktel IPTV
TPG (Australia)
Note: The FreeBox patch that's in #1704 uses RTSP to receive IPTV streams from an ADSL box. However, this version uses a PLS "Playlist" provided by the box to discover channels, not SDP/SAP, thereby still needing a STB to tune. If we can make a version that uses SDP/SAP Discovery, this requirement will not be needed, and the "Tuner" can be made into a more generic "IPTV tuner".
SAP is a method of sending "Session Announcements" over UDP Multicast. SAP uses Multicast address 188.8.131.52 port 9875 by default for sending announcements in the global scope.
A SAP announcement looks like this (Taken from the RFC):
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | V=1 |A|R|T|E|C| auth len | msg id hash | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | : originating source (32 or 128 bits) : : : +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | optional authentication data | : .... : *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | optional payload type | + +-+- - - - - - - - - -+ | |0| | + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +-+ | | | : payload : | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ V: Version Number. The version number field MUST be set to 1 (SAPv2 announcements which use only SAPv1 features are backwards compatible, those which use new features can be detected by other means, so the SAP version number doesn't need to change). A: Address type. If the A bit is 0, the originating source field contains a 32-bit IPv4 address. If the A bit is 1, the originating source contains a 128-bit IPv6 address. R: Reserved. SAP announcers MUST set this to 0, SAP listeners MUST ignore the contents of this field. T: Message Type. If the T field is set to 0 this is a session announcement packet, if 1 this is a session deletion packet. E: Encryption Bit. If the encryption bit is set to 1, the payload of the SAP packet is encrypted. If this bit is 0 the packet is not encrypted. See section 7 for details of the encryption process. C: Compressed bit. If the compressed bit is set to 1, the payload is compressed using the zlib compression algorithm [3]. If the payload is to be compressed and encrypted, the compression MUST be performed first. Authentication Length. An 8 bit unsigned quantity giving the number of 32 bit words following the main SAP header that contain authentication data. If it is zero, no authentication header is present. Authentication data containing a digital signature of the packet, with length as specified by the authentication length header field. See section 8 for details of the authentication process. Message Identifier Hash. A 16 bit quantity that, used in combination with the originating source, provides a globally unique identifier indicating the precise version of this announcement. The choice of value for this field is not specified here, except that it MUST be unique for each session announced by a particular SAP announcer and it MUST be changed if the session description is modified (and a session deletion message SHOULD be sent for the old version of the session). Earlier versions of SAP used a value of zero to mean that the hash should be ignored and the payload should always be parsed. This had the unfortunate side-effect that SAP announcers had to study the payload data to determine how many unique sessions were being advertised, making the calculation of the announcement interval more complex that necessary. In order to decouple the session announcement process from the contents of those announcements, SAP announcers SHOULD NOT set the message identifier hash to zero. SAP listeners MAY silently discard messages if the message identifier hash is set to zero. Originating Source. This gives the IP address of the original source of the message. This is an IPv4 address if the A field is set to zero, else it is an IPv6 address. The address is stored in network byte order. SAPv0 permitted the originating source to be zero if the message identifier hash was also zero. This practise is no longer legal, and SAP announcers SHOULD NOT set the originating source to zero. SAP listeners MAY silently discard packets with the originating source set to zero.
The standard announcement type for SAP is SDP.
An SDP announcement looks like this:
v= (protocol version)
o= (owner/creator and session identifier).
s= (session name)
i=* (session information)
u=* (URI of description)
e=* (email address)
p=* (phone number)
c=* (connection information - not required if included in all media)
b=* (bandwidth information)
One or more time descriptions (see below)
z=* (time zone adjustments)
k=* (encryption key)
a=* (zero or more session attribute lines)
Zero or more media descriptions (see below)
Time description
t= (time the session is active)
r=* (zero or more repeat times)
Media description
m= (media name and transport address)
i=* (media title)
c=* (connection information - optional if included at session-level)
b=* (bandwidth information)
k=* (encryption key)
a=* (zero or more media attribute lines)
v=0 o=mhandley 2890844526 2890842807 IN IP4 22.214.171.124 s=SDP Seminar i=A Seminar on the session description protocol u=http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/M.Handley/sdp.03.ps firstname.lastname@example.com (Mark Handley) c=IN IP4 126.96.36.199/127 t=2873397496 2873404696 a=recvonly m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 m=video 51372 RTP/AVP 31 m=application 32416 udp wb a=orient:portrait
