ATLANTA – Notre Dame junior wide receiver Golden Tate has been named one of the four nominees for the AT&T All-America Player of the Week award after the fifth week of college football action, and AT&T* is relying on fans to determine who rules the gridiron.
Tate (Hendersonville, Tenn.) helped the Irish rally past Washington, 37-30, in overtime. He hauled in nine receptions for 244 yards and one touchdown. The 244 yards receiving were the most by a Notre Dame player since Jim Seymour set the school record with 276 against Purdue on Sept. 24, 1966 and second-most in school history. Tate also set the highest single-game receiving total this season in the NCAA FBS.

Toby Keith “American Ride” (Show Dog Nashville)
Prolific country superstar Toby Keith confidently and capably cruises through romantic ballads, funny party songs and brash social commentary on his new album “American Ride.”
The Norman resident already has topped the country charts with the buzz-generating title track, a frank and foot-stomping critique of American culture, from lawsuits and plastic surgery to terrorism and YouTube. While Joe West and Dave Pahanish penned “American Ride,” Keith wrote or co-wrote the remaining 11 tracks.
The Oklahoma native keeps the toe-tapping tempo and showcases his sharp sense of humor with “If I Had One” and “Every Dog Has Its Day.” He augments his favored steel guitars and fiddles with blues-rock flourishes on the party song “Loaded” and the motivational “If You’re Tryin’ You Ain’t.”
He pays humorous and sympathetic tribute to the troops with “Ballad to Balad,” inspired by his latest United Service Organization Tour of Iraq, and exudes affectionate desire on the good-natured two-stepper “You Can’t Read My Mind.”
Those who are willing to look beyond Keith’s bold, often controversial persona know he excels as a balladeer, and his new album rides highest in its softer moments. He convincingly tells the tale of a ne’er-do-well seeing the error of his ways in the affecting “Woke up on My Own,” then delivers unabashed romance with “Tender as I Want to Be.”
But the album’s highlight is “Cryin’ for Me (Wayman’s Song),” Keith’s moving and musically fitting tribute to his friend Wayman Tisdale, the basketball-star-turned-jazz-bassist who died in May after a long cancer battle.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Oakland will pay $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a burglary suspect who was left a paraplegic after being shot by a police officer.
The Oakland City Council approved the payment to Charles Davis Jr. during a closed session Tuesday night.
Davis was suspected of burglarizing a church in 2007 when he was shot by the Oakland officer. Though Davis was unarmed, the officer said he mistook items that Davis was carrying from the church for a gun.
Rick Simons, Davis’ attorney, says the money will be used the help the 49-year-old Davis with the “basic needs” of living as a paraplegic.
The settlement comes after the council voted on Sept. 22 to approve a $1.5 settlement payment to the family of a 20-year-old man shot and killed by an Oakland police officer in 2007.

You will need a jailbroken iPhone, with OpenSSH and Winterboard installed. On your computer, you will need an FTP program and some simple audio editting software, something that can export to AIFF. In this tutorial, I’ll be using a Mac with Filezilla, and Audacity. There are Windows versions of both of these, if you prefer the lesser of the operating systems
. Both Filezilla and Audacity are free to download.
There are 3 steps involved: 1. Creating the Tone. 2. Packaging the tone for Winterboard and, 3. Installing the tone on your iPhone.
1. Create Your Tone
First, you need to pick a sound you want for your tone. It can be a WAV or MP3, or any sound file your software can handle. Just do a Google search for “free wav”, and you’ll find something. I have chosen “Hooah!”, from Scent of a Woman. Using Audacity, simply drag and drop the file into the program. You can edit it, if it’s too long. You should keep it short. This one is just right, so we’ll export it.
Go to File, then Export. In the pop-up, name the track. Then in the drop-down, leave the name the same, and choose desktop, as your location. It is important to get the file type correct. In the scroll down menu, choose AIFF. Then, click save. The new file will show up on the desktop as “Hooah.aiff”.
2. Package Your Tone for Winterboard
Now that we have the sound created, we need to package it for Winterboard. On your desktop, create a new folder, and name it appropriately. Mine is called “Hooah SMS Tone”. Then within that folder, create another folder and name it “UISounds”. This one is case sensitive, so make sure you spell it: capital u, capital i, and capital s on sounds. All together, with no spaces. Then, drag and drop your tone into the “UISounds” folder.
Next, we have to change the name and extension of the file, so the iPhone can recognize it as a SMS tone. All SMS tones on the iPhone are named sms-received, 1 through 6, with the extension .caf. We will be replacing the Tri-tone, so we will use number 1. Name the file “sms-received1.caf”. (In Windows you may need to change your folder settings: make sure “Hide Extensions” is unchecked, to be able to edit your extensions).
If you’re having trouble, you can donwload my example here.
3. Install on Your iPhone and Apply as SMS Tone
With the tone packaged for Winterboard, we now need to put it on your iPhone. This is where your FTP program and OpenSSH come into play. What was that? Did you just say: “FTP? SSH? WTF?!”. Well, this might be a little tricky for some of you, so if you’re new to OpenSSH, you can search YouTube for a full tutorial.
This has to be done over a WiFi network that both your iPhone and your computer are connected to. Open Filezilla, and log in to your iPhone. For the host, type in the IP address of your iPhone (huh?: Go into Settings, tap WiFi, then tap the arrow to right of your selected network). The username is “root”, the password is “alpine”, and you want to use port 22. It may take a few tries to get in, if you’ve never used OpenSSH before, so have patience.
In your local folders(your computer), navigate to your desktop, so that you can see the “Hooah SMS Tone” folder we created earlier. In your remote folders (your iPhone), you need to navigate to Library > Themes. Then drag and drop your folder from your local to your remote. Be careful not to mess around with anything else on your iPhone, unless you know what your doing. You don’t want to change something crucial, by accident, and then have to restore your phone. The right folder should look something like this:
The only thing left to do is make the new SMS tone active. Open Winterboard, on your iPhone. You should see your new tone in the list. Select it, and exit Winterboard. Your iPhone will respring.
Once your lock screen comes back up, go into Settings > Sounds > New Text Message, and select “Tri-tone”. You should hear your new tone!
The great thing about this method is, you can create and install as many tones as you like, while never losing your original Tri-tone sound. If you want to use a different tone, just go back into Winterboard, select a new tone, unselect the old tone, and exit Winterboard. If you want your Tri-tone back, just unselect all SMS tones in Winterboard.
