Major Release of Hearing Documents

Landis has provided and we have archived what is hoped to be a complete collection of machine readable exhibits and other filings from the hearing. If there are things that appear to be missing, ask and we'll try to do more digging. Some things that are not present don't exist in digital form, and we're in no position to demand they be scanned for our benefit.

We thank Landis and his team for carrying through on their pledge of openness in the process. It was work to collect these materials and make them available to the public.

As others look and find out what things are, please post comments that will help others navigate, thanks!

Some ones of interest, especially to M and Larry, who have been asking:

GDC Exhibits


The GDC exhibits DO contain relatively clear chromatograms of some of the reprocessing on 5-May-2007.

GDC00871
- appears to be screenshots of backups.
GDC00881 - ditto.
GDC00891 - ditto
GDC00901 - mostly ditto, but a reanalysis on 4/7/07 of a 23/7/06 mix cal acetate with CG and 2/1 trace, legible.
GDC00911 - Looks like continuation of 6-Jul-06 calibration runs, reprinted in Apr 07 as part of the reprocessing. Some are auto, some are zero subtracted, etc.

GDC 921-980 appear to be missing.

GDC00981 - more reprocessing.
GDC00991 - more reprocessing.
GDC01001 - more reprocessing, stability runs.
GDC01011 - more stability, linearity, and CIR values.
GDC01021 - more CIR values, one larger but badly scanned IRMS CG
GDC01031 - more CIR values
GDC01041 - more CIR values
GDC01051 - some 44/45 traces; 1056 starts log files.
GDC01061 - logfiles; 1075-1079 is a description of reprocessing.
GDC01080 - Lim's power reports from the tour, stage by stage.
GDC01091 - More power reports. S15 1091, S16 1092, S17 1093; 1098 Shackleton paper.
GDC01101 - Shackleton cont'd; 1107 WM-A overview paper
GDC01111 - WM-A paper con't
GDC01121 - WM-A paper con't, Hall/Barth/Kalin paper
GDC01131 - Hall con't; WM-A paper about split systems; 1140 Kazlauskas et. al paper start.
GDC01141 - Kazlauskas con't.
GDC01151 - Kazlauskas con't; Brenna paper on quantization errors, also explaining background issues.
GDC01161 - Brenna con't.

I think that's everything currently in the archive except the CV's of various people, which are obvious.

If anyone finds things with specific interest or import, please share the observations.

TBV,

I'm making a vow to take a break from reading all the exhibits.

But in case I break that vow, the Landis Findings of Fact pdf doesn't load for me.

Thanks, it's fixed. It was corrupted.

TBV -

There are a number of technical problems with the stuff Floyd has provided:

1. One of the first documents listed in the raw downloads listing is some kind of closing powerpoint (CLOSING52307noonFINLAshownincourt.ppt). There's something wrong with this file - it's probably corrupt. The file has hundreds of slides, but the slides have titles and no content.

2. Most of the CVs and Exhibits 84-100 are copies of the identical file: a CAS decision in the case of Mark French (it's pretty easy to spot these documents on the raw index list, since they all have identical 2.0M sizes).

3. The "zip file of everything" is empty.

Those are the problems I've seen so far. I'd also noticed that the Landis Findings of Fact pdf was not working initially but it's working now.

BTW, this stuff is a treasure trove.

Did I remember to say "thank you"? I bet I didn't. THANK YOU! For this and everything else.

DBrower said...

Oops, my fault. Lesson: Never make corrections late at night. I'll fix this stuff later today as I'm travelling at the moment.

I think all the corrupted files are fixed, but it's late, and I may have made more mistakes, so let me know if you have problems.
