AMD has released a short video that shows the new APU as a function of AMD's entry-level E-450 and E-300 dealing with productivity programs, comparing them to equivalent Intel CPU: less power consumption, less heat and more autonomy these are the qualities of the last APU Sunnyvale.
About two months ago , AMD has extended the family of E Series APU (Bobcat core, family Zacate platform Brazos), with the addition of two new models, called AMD and AMD-450 and E-300, which lie at the ends of And AMD-350, in the scale of performance. So even the two new APU will be equipped with two core architecture with Bobcat, but operating at a clock rate slightly higher, 1.65 GHz AMD E-450 and 1.30 GHz AMD E-300, against the old 1.60GHz AMD E-350 .
The L2 cache is always of 1 MB for both models and, with respect to the integrated memory controller, the E-450 will also support DDR3 1333 MHz than 1066 MHz E-350 and E-300. Moving on to graphics processors, AMD-300 and continue to use the same AMD Radeon HD 6310 with 80 stream processors already seen on the previous model, but with a slightly reduced frequency, 488 MHz instead of 492. Once again, instead of the top model will enjoy better performance. In the case of E-450 because the new subsystem called the AMD Radeon HD 6320, with more than 80 stream processors, but with a clock rate of 500 MHz
APU is also equipped with a new version of the technology Turbo Core , currently able to raise the frequency of one of the two cores at a time, depending on the workload, while lowering the core clock at idle, so as to optimize consumption, and also being able to intervene on the frequency of the GPU, bringing it up to 600 MHz few days ago, AMD released a short video that shows the capabilities of these two new APU, whose target is always to the entry-level mobile devices low-cost and low power consumption.
In the video we see the fluidity with which they handled the interfaces of the various programs of the suite Microsoft Office 2010 and then the emphasis on consumption, heat dissipation and battery life. In this second part compared the performance of AMD-450 and B940 at Intel Pentium, dual-core Sandy Bridge with a clock rate of 2 GHz and TDP of 35 W and the E-300 at Intel Celeron B800, always a dual 35 W Sandy Bridge core, but clocked at 1.5 GHz
The results, fairly predictable, of course, see a lower power consumption by the two APU AMD (18 W against 35), lower heat dissipation, thus with the possibility of being integrated into devices thinner and more autonomy, which is both cases more than 9 hours against the 5 / 6 hours guaranteed by Intel. In fact the main problem is that Intel has not completely equivalent to the number of processors and AMD, just as the Sandy Bridge entry-level Pentium and Celeron families have a power comparable but higher TDP, vice versa, the atoms have equivalent consumption but more limited computing capabilities.
The scenarios may soon change, however, since even in Santa Clara are moving towards a strategy similar to AMD, giving more importance to multimedia performance, the integrated graphics processor and consumption. The debut of the new Atom CPU Cedar Trail and the new Ivy Bridge, both expected in between late 2011 and early 2012, it could reopen the comparison, but at the moment, AMD is certainly an advantage in this area.

Lab Inspections
The Research Safety Division in Environmental Health & Safety strives to provide excellent service in support of the researchers at Boston University and the Boston Medical Center. To ensure that appropriate service is being provided and to assist laboratories in complying with federal, state, municipal, and institutional requirements, EHS inspects research laboratories using a risk-based approach. Laboratories are inspected quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, depending on the risk profile of each laboratory. Please view the full program for more details.
Category A Inspections
Each quarter, a Category A "quicklist" checklist is reviewed by EHS. The quicklist is a collection of questions from the various topic-specific inspections that are critical to continued compliance. These items are reviewed during each laboratory inspection. BU Quarterly Inspection Check List – Category A Quicklist
Also, use this Weekly Eyewash Flushing Guide to help keep your eyewashes fresh and in compliance.
Category B Inspections
In addition to the Category A "quicklist" checklist, during each inspection period, a different topic-specific, "Category B" inspection is performed. The topics covered each quarter are:
Chemical Safety BU Quarterly Inspection Check List – Chemical Safety
Biological Safety BU Quarterly Inspection Checklist – Biological Safety
Controlled Substances BU Quarterly Inspection Check List – Controlled Substances
Fire and General Safety BU Quarterly Inspection Check List – Fire & General Safety
A different topic is reviewed in the laboratory each quarter, which ensures that an in-depth inspection for each topic is conducted annually.
In the case that a Category B inspection topic does not apply to a given laboratory, then only the Category A checklist will be reviewed that quarter.
All inspections are conducted with either the Principal Investigator or his or her assigned Laboratory Safety Coordinator present. Following the inspection, EHS will issue a report containing the findings, identifying the responsible party, proposing a corrective action, and giving a target date for the corrective action to be completed.
Within 2 weeks of the initial inspection visit, EHS will re-visit the laboratory to confirm that appropriate services are being provided and to assist the laboratory in addressing any open corrective items.
The goal of the Laboratory Safety Inspection program is to make Boston University, its laboratories, campuses, and community safe and compliant.

Without parens:
"Gaurish".reverse # => "hsiruaG"
With parens:
"Gaurish".reverse() # => "hsiruaG"
Are both the same. If yes, then which one should we use. If not, then what's the difference?


text: Hello, I am new to libical. I have run into a few build problems. I am using version 0.46. I am on Windoze using both cygwin and Visual Studio 2005 (aka vc8). First the problems under cygwin: 0.44 builds just fine but 0.46 says: config.status: error: cannot find the input file: zoneinfo/Makefile.in. If I copy the Makefile.in from version 0.44 and (re)configure then I get a similar error: config.status: error: cannot find the input file: Makefile.in. If I copy that one from 0.44 and (re)configure then I get a similar error for the next Makefile.in it can't find, and so on..... It looks to me like there has been some packaging error in the release of version 0.46. With all the Makefile.in files in place configure then failed with: config.status: error: cannot find the input file: config.h.in. At this point I gave up trying to build 0.46 with cygwin. Now for the problem under VS: it says the dsp file for libical is corrupt and refuses to open it. I get the same problem on vesion 0.44. The README.win32 file talks about dsp files for VS6. This makes me wonder about WIN32 support. VS6 is ancient and has an unusable STL (most people replace it with the one from Dinkumware). I know that VS8 is also quite old but unfortunately this is the version I am stuck with. At least VC8 comes with a usable STL. So I would very much like to build libical using it. Has anyone else done this please? Regards, Andrew Marlow ___________________________________________________________ This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Unreality check: The made-up case against Tim Cook
Tim Cook must go! Because of many made-up and inaccurate reasons!
A broken watch: Surveying the Apple Watch doom
Reports of Apple Watch sales should be taken with a salt lick's worth of salt.
The expectation game: Subjectively dismissing the Apple Watch
If you don't like it, then it can't be good.
Crushing it: The Apple Music double standard
Stop holding Apple to a different standard.
Past tense: All about the Apple Watch failure
From the go-to guy for Apple failure.
Surveys on the popularity of Apple products are often not worth the pixels they appear on.
You're doing it wrong: A negative Watch review, hold the hate
Turns out you can write a negative opinion about the Apple Watch without being ridiculously over the top. Who knew?
Not for everyone: You don't have to like the Apple Watch
If someone else wants one, that's not a reflection on you.
Survey sickness: Smartphone surveys are not all created equal
Read the fine print on smartphone surveys before you start to panic.
The exploding dud: Not liking the Apple Watch doesn't make it a failure

One state ballot issue that has received little attention nationwide is Arkansas' vote to overturn a ban on charitable gambling, which includes Bingo.
Arkansas Catholic churches had been running Bingo games, possibly in ignorance of the state ban, but the Diocese imposed a moratorium when an Arkansan sheriff investigated complaints from concerned citizens in 2004. The moratorium cut off an important source of funding for the state's Catholic schools and churches.
Catholics make up about 4 percent of Arkansas' population.
Catholic churches can reopen their Bingo halls once the state Legislature crafts a law that regulates the newly-legalized operations. (There isn't much news about this at the Diocese of Arkansas, but I did enjoy reading Msgr. Gaston Herbert's columns, especially "There is a land far away with few priests.")
While the Bingo vote seems to be a small victory for Catholics in a state that has sometimes persecuted its Catholic minority--during the 1920s, a convent and monastery act gave the state the power to go in to "inspect" religious houses anytime they wanted to for no reason--it underscores the reliance many parishes have on Bingo as a source of funding.
Maybe it's just me having one of my Protestant Moments, but Bingo has always struck me as a blight on the Catholic landscape here in the rural upper Midwest.
I understand the need for funding sources--our parish collection amounts to about two-thirds of what we need to operate, and I presume the rest comes from Bingo, though our parish council keeps pretty mum about what Bingo actually brings in.
But like the Michigan Lottery, Bingo seems to attract those who can least afford to gamble--mostly the elderly who are already living on limited incomes. As a form of entertainment, Bingo is about on par with sorting socks. And parishioners are dunned at our parish to get out and work Bingo far more often than they are encouraged to participate in hospice, respite care, food bank, and other activities that would benefit the community and raise awareness of the Church within our little town.
So, Catholics, why Bingo? Anybody want to explain? Defend? Or, at the very least, share your favorite Catholic Bingo joke? If we gotta have it, we might as well keep our sense of humor about it.

I'll accept your challenge.Some 40-odd years ago, our parish had a novena every Tuesday night. At the same time, the weekly bingo game was going on downstairs. Our church was just a few blocks from a (then brand new) public housing project. I guess the parish needed the bingo revenue to make up for what many of the parishioners could not afford to give.
Yah, but who was participating in Bingo, Joe? The folks from the housing project? Aren't these the people we're supposed to be helping instead of squeezing money out of?Or am I missing something here?
Interesting post. On principle, I support exemptions like this. But as someone who grew up with the Protestant belief that gambling is presumptively immoral, I remain baffled that Catholic parishes affirmatively support bingo. How pathetic is it to depend for funds on wasting people's time in a completely unproductive activity where some of them spend money that they can't afford?
When the District of Columbia introduced the lottery about twenty years ago, a hotshort TV reporter interviewed an elderly black gentleman who was waiting on line to buy a ticket: "Sir," she said, "don't you realize that your odds of winning are very, very poor?" "Well, ma'am," he replied: "they's a lot worse if I don't buy a ticket!"
Although I am a Catholic and remember Bingo in my elementary school days, I do not really approve of games of chance. I could imagine gambling only with a game in which skill was a significant element, but I do not have the mind of a card counter or the skills, whatever they are, of a poker player.
IS anyone out there over 70?Come to our assisted living place on Wedensday afternoon or Saturday nite( early) and play bingo for a 35 cent prize coveted by everybody. It pays for your $.25 entry.I was, as a girl, a trustee in a parish that a clerical financial genius brought from chaos into order and balance. We had Bingo on friday nite officially starting at 6PM. The hardworking ladies(may we someday be recognized) made sandwiches, coffee, and cookies for sale to add to the parish coffers. Most players arrived at 5 PM so we had to start an early game to keep them amused.Unfortunately, the evening began to lose money as we did not have enuf customers, gambling odds being what they are the parish began to lose money!!! I assumed that our financial genius pastor would say " dump it". To my delight he said "this is an important event for these parishioners and others to relate to others:" The game kept going at a loss until the parish council made a real stink.Bingo may not be an intellectible challenge but fotr an evening out for less than $10 tell me about your experience.
I'm with marybergan on this. Who says it's an unproductive activity? Having a couple of bucks down on a game of chance that takes 15 or 20 minutes to play is harmless fun. Is it any more an unproductive activity than watching an episode of Oprah?
I don't have any problem with Bingo night. My grandmother lived with us for several years before she died, and it was a difficult adjustment.My mother started taking her to Bingo nights at the parish and it eased a lot of her discomfort. My grandmother made new friends, got out of the house for a few hours, caught up on the neighborhood gossip and news.... It wasn't even $1 a game, I don't think.
Ordinarily I find myself in agreement with Joseph Gannon and Jean Raber. Not about bingo though! As a kid from a poor town I regularly went with my Cajun aunt to the Blue Light Inn for bingo. It was always primarily a social occasion, especially for married women whose housework left them precious little time to socialize.My wife has a 90 year old aunt who still gets to an Atlantic City casino occasionally. It's a breath of fresh air for her.My south Louisiana roots just won't let me think that unless I'm doing something certifiably "good for me" there must be somethiing wrong with it.This is not an argument for casinos or professional gambling. But church bingo is less bad for your soul, I'd guess, than fantast football, etc.
Hmm. I usually agree with Bernard, Joe and Jean, but I guess I come down in the middle somewhere this time. On the one hand, I know that in the local nursing home, there is definitely a body of people who find a Bingo session a satisfying way to socialize. In our area, fewer Catholic Churches use Bingo to raise serious money than in past years. More common is an annual Carnival, with rides and food, and games run in cooperation with some professionals. One local church is reported to have made nearly $100,000 in one weekend. The well-off parishioners dont spend there out of their need, but since the event draws customers from far and near, it may be that some less affluent people do. Providing a low-key social event for a few older parishioners is one thing, and if that is what a Bingo Night is all about, fine. But a high-powered professional-level operation that brings in significant profit is taking that unreasonable profit from someone, and paying the pros something. And at the point where a substantial take is the main aim, it seems to me, there is something off about the practice. Besides, those Bingo signs on the Churches always do look tacky. Add to them the parish financial campaign thermometer signs and the agents of the Knights of Columbus selling raffle tickets for unimpeachably good causes out front on Sundays and who could blame our Protestant neighbors for getting the impression Catholics are excessively interested in collecting money from the flock?
Thanks to Mary Bergan and Bernard for offering the "other side" of Bingo.But, at the risk of sounding like the the Music Man--you got Bingo and that starts with B and that rhymes with T and that stands for TROUBLE!--it behooves parishes to look at how much time and energy Bingo siphons away from other activities that might make more of an impact in the community.The local Methodists have a Friday night dinner roast beef dinner. It's a $5 donation. Some people can't pay. Some people pay double to cover those who can't.They've paid off their church hall debt through those suppers. And provided a social outlet and fed the hungry as well.
Good points all. I should note that parish volunteers staffed our bingo games back then. I have less of a problem with a genuine church/charity operation than with commercial ventures, some of which supposedly give some of the proceeds to "charities."Regarding the merits of a "dinner" vs. a "bingo" to raise money for a church, my limited experience shows folks eating and leaving, on the one hand, versus lingering awhile to play the game.Another point to remember: many Catholic churches still have schools to support whereas Protestant congregations typically do not.Another issue of contention for some folks: beer at church picnics, etc.
Now wait just a gosh darn minute, Joe. Slamming Bingo is one thing, but beer at church picnics is just over the line.I have a much-loved set of plastic beer cups with pictures of the saints on them that I got at a church picnic.My husband put some in the dishwasher and MELTED St. Anthony and St. Therese of Lisieux. When I expressed my dismay, he said, "They're just plastic cups."I think that's some type of venial sin at least.
I have to concede that if people play bingo to socialize, I do not see how anyone could object.
Venial sin? That would be a mortal sin for some folks I know :)In my diocese a few years ago, there was a lot of discussion for awhile about the "bad example" and behavioral problems associated with beer at church picnics, etc. I think a few parishes banned beer, but I don't recall if the bishop made any decision on the issue.Perhaps moderation is the name of the game.

We compared the effects of a 16-week Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program and a Social Recreational (SR) program on anxiety in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Seventy children (9–16 years old) were randomly assigned to either of the programs (n CBT = 36; n SR = 34). Measures on child's anxiety using the Spence Child Anxiety Scale—Child (SCAS-C) and the Clinical Global Impression—Severity scale (CGI-S) were administered at pre-, post-treatment, and follow-ups (3- and 6-month). Children in both programs showed significantly lower levels of generalized anxiety and total anxiety symptoms at 6-month follow-up on SCAS-C. Clinician ratings on the CGI-S demonstrated an increase in the percentage of participants rated as "Normal" and "Borderline" for both programs. Findings from the present study suggest factors such as regular sessions in a structured setting, consistent therapists, social exposure and the use of autism-friendly strategies are important components of an effective framework in the management of anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD.

sigh...even more proof that democrats are as stupid and greedy and in the pockets of big business as the republicans....
Why do the liberals always assume that poor people are stupid? Poor people are smart! They go to these payday loan places for the lovely decor, companionship of their peers, and because they believe passionately in the free market, and want to show that belief through action.
They spend every last cent they get from payday loans on consumer goods, like plasma TVs and fancy cars with those spinning tire things, that those of us who are fiscally responsible only get when we can pay cash. And don't forget about MacDonalds. Sure, it makes them fat, but as acolytes of the pure capitalism movement, no sacrifice is too great.
It's the soft bigotry of low expectations on the part of the greedy liberals that would want to squelch this, and it's the children of the poor (who are surely all illegitimate, but that's not important right now) who would suffer most.
Why do liberals hate America?
I thought that Kirby represented working people down in Lakewood? What gives?
Something needs to be done about payday lending in this state...they have already have banned the bastards in 11 states.
Come on Legislature, show the working peeps some love.
I sometimes miss being in a state with decent consumer protection (New York - thank you, Eliot Spitzer.)
So this fairly simple, straight forward proposal to cap pay day loan interest rates has 80% support state wide? Can anyone say "initiative"?
I remember living in BC, where the max loan rate is 36 percent - period.
It was fun.
I agree with @5 - sounds like a consumer initiative is going to happen if they don't do it this year.
oh, and @2, it's you Reds that hate America. We Blues are tired of your whining combat-avoiding Big Govt Big Deficit ways.
don't be hatin'....
Actually its people like those of you that dont have the facts that cause the biggest problem. Payday lending hasnt been banned in 11 states. It's only been banned in Georgia and that state will have new enabling legislation pass this year. The states you refer to never had enabling legislation or their rate caps were so low no one opened there.
Get the facts before you open your mouth and sound as stupid as you are uninformed.
"Payday lending hasnt been banned in 11 states. It's only been banned in Georgia and that state will have new enabling legislation pass this year. The states you refer to never had enabling legislation or their rate caps were so low no one opened there."
So what? What's the difference? There wouldn't be nearly as much complaining about payday loans if MoneyTree was offering interest rates at, say, the level of your average credit card. But that's not profitable enough by itself for them to operate, so a rate cap that low is essentially a ban.

Yes, but we all know that large multi-billion music labels never make profits, according to their official accounting, so in effect, won't this force the small bands which are barely scraping by to subsidize Capitol Records and other major labels?
Just saying ...
You conveniently left out the minimum fees, Josh.
I read your editorial this morning, Josh. One big problem, actually, is with the structure of the article. You don't really get to the crux of your position until the tail end, whereas at the front end it seems as if you are anti-internet-radio. You're not, and as the article goes on, your true position becomes clear, but reading the first few paragraphs, it seems like you're supporting the interests of artists at the expense of internet radio.
Now, your suggestion... the peril of separating the 'indie' units from the 'mainstream' units is that the mainstream units catch on to this and do what they have done with other marketing facets in recent years: create covert subdivisions that act as 'indie' units to fool the general public, or purchase 'indie' units and use legal workarounds to reap their benefits without having to incur the penalties that come with being a mainstream unit.
You know businesspeople and you know lawyers. If you try to create a caste where the corporations have a disadvantage, the corps will simply try to create or acquire units on the other side and pass themselves off as such. And whether or not you want to think so, no one can really regulate that.
None of the web casters I listen to play commercials, so there is no profit motive on their part. On the contrary, they are there to share there love of music with like minded people. When I hear something I like on the internet, I seek it out and buy it (hoping that the artist gets their fair share).
The record companies and publishers are getting out of control. ASCAP and BMI are already going after clubs that have live music, and charging the clubs royalties for cover versions, based on the capacity of the club, not the actual attendance. Theyve also gone after a guitar teacher for teaching people how to play Rolling Stones songs. What's next? Charging people for singing karaoke? Charging people if they play their stereo loud enough that someone in the next room can hear it?
Josh, I respect that your heart is in the right place in getting indie artists their fair share of their deserved profits, but all you are going to do is kill any chance that an indie artist will be heard outside a club and the only radio left will be corporate top 40 and talk radio.
Wow, looks like you and Meinert had that beer after all, huh?
Still not sure how I feel about this - I'm affected (or theoretically could be affected, not that I've ever gotten a dime from Sound Exchange) on both sides of the issue, but your 180 degree turn is interesting to note.
Will - large labels definitely do make profits, and no, this doesn't force the small bands to subsidize the labels at all. How would it?
As or separating small from large webcasters it's an easy straightforward formula, the kind lawyers hate. A 'small' webcaster is a commercial webcaster with below $1.25 million in annual income. That's a pretty big 'small' webcaster. The biggest 'small' webcaster currently makes only $400,000 per year, so even the largest 'small' webcaster has quite a lot of room to grow before they have to start paying fair market value for their content.
Elswinger - if the stations you listen to don't have income, then they pay nothing. Pretty sweet deal. ASCAP and BMI at times seem out of control, but protecting copyrights is sometimes a difficult thing - if you start making lots of exceptions, then after a while a legal precedent gets established.
Elswinger - the rest of your point doesn't make much sense - how will requiring Google and AOL to pay fair rates for music hurt indie artists?
@5 - are you signed up for Soundexchange? IF you're an artist that gets webradio play then you should be. All our artists get paid. Not a lot right now, but none of them are getting tons of web radio play yet. But when they do, and as webcasting grows, this will become a significant stream of revenue for them. We don't want to kill that stream, we want a healthy webradio industry, it should just pay fair rates for the music they use to make their business happen.
@2 is right. the real issue here is SoundExchange's minimum fee per station. that's an administrative fee that has to get paid out for every single station, so every custom service that does happen to play indie artists, who can submit themselves without representation(like Pandora and Rhapsody) are paying more per subscriber in SoundExchange fees than they get in subscription. and then there's the fees that they pay for stuff offered for free. Rhapsody just killed all but 100 artist stations, that used to be free to listen to for almost every artist in the catalog. i assure you that Pandora and Real aren't actually the artist-raping behemoths you think they are.
do your research.
Meinert, I confess I didn't know that commercial free radio does not have to pay royalty fees (I'll trust that you are correct). I am not sure, what Yahoo and Google have to do with anything (they weren't mentioned in either article or by me). I meant, or feared that only those radio stations rich enough to pay the fees will only cater to the lowest common denominator, much like 99% of over the air radio stations do. I am probably wrong, but I am used to it.
Considering how much the labels fuck bands with their creative accounting, and all the tales I hear that bands only make a living from their tour and merchandise revenue, you'd think they'd want to give the music away.
@9 - that's the beauty of performance royalties, they have nothing to do with label accountings, they portion paid to musicians goes straight to them, no label involved. That's part of why this is so important for bands. Supporting this royalty equals supporting musicians.
Hey people - WAKE UP! Meinert is not telling the whole story (and neither is Josh Feit).
What the whole fight over internet radio royalty fees is about is extinguishing a broadcast medium (i.e. net radio) that the RIAA and Big 4 record labels can't control. It is about extinguishing an alternate, viable business model that threatens the stranglehold on musical diversity that has been in place since the payola days of AM/FM stations.
Dead net radio stations don't pay royalties to anyone, and the RIAA and the Big 4 (and now Josh Feit) would rather have artists not get paid than have a new viable medium flourishing which they can't control.
Read for yourself what 400 bands (and counting) have to say about how the new royalty rate will affect them here.
@8 - Commercial-free internet radio stations *DO* pay royalites, have paid royalties, and their royalty payments have been increasing each year already ($20 million in 2006). The current net radio royalty rate is based on how much $ a station brings in. Commercial-free stations *DO* bring in money through donations and subscriptions. So artists get paid even though the stations are commercial-free.
Bandwidth cost money, and any station with more than a couple hundred listeners is bringing in money. Why? Because it starts to cost more than a reasonalble person is willing pay out of their own pocket to maintain a hobby. So artists get paid when money comes into the station, even if the station is not bringing in $ by playing commercials.
@9 - With a gun to the head of internet radio, the Big 4 labels can cut out the artist from the royalty payments:
"As it stands now, the only fiscally prudent path now for webcasters is direct licensing, which reduces sound recording performance royalty payments legally by cutting out the artist's 50% share of the royalties. Labels can offer broadcasters discounted, direct-license deals at up to a 50% discount over CRB rates and still make the same amount of money [for the label - SS]. Or by offering just a 40% discount, webcasters would pay the same as they've paid in the past, and RIAA labels would earn a 10% premium by bypassing the revenue share with artists. It's just a simple money-grab from the artists by the big labels."
@6 - Dave, that is not true. Read the fine print. If a station exceeds the income limit of $1.2 million they *ARE* hit with retroactive fees, and new fee rate they are retroactively hit with most likely will bankrupt the station. If you go over the $1.2 mil limit, then you have to pay the higher royalty rate bracket for the whole year, not just from that month forward. And the new rate bracket means you have to all of a sudden quadruple (or whatever) your income to be able to afford the higher rate.
"An SWSA extension would limit small webcasters to $1.2 million in revenue, and once they earned a dollar more, all their performances back to the beginning of the year in which they exceed the cap would be subject to the CRB per performance royalties, effectively exceeding their revenues by many multiples."
@7 - Yes, the $500 fee per station goes 100% to SoundCheck's "administrative costs" - NOT to artists. So stations that provide a great many streams that individual listeners can personalize could wind up paying $200 million to SoundCheck in "administrative fees". In comparison, SoundCheck has collected a grand total of $20 million in royalties from net radio stations (in 2007), which it will eventually pay to artists (if SoundCheck can be bothered to find them).
Did you know that if SoundCheck can't find an artist after 8 years, it gets to keep all the royalty money it owes that artist? And apparently SoundCheck is not very motivated to find a lot of the artists it is collecting royalties for. Just ask Seattle attorney Fred Wilhelms (see the following post for info on this).
While SoundCheck may say they represent 20,000 artists, they apparently are having trouble finding at least 8,200 artists which they are collecting royalty money for - see here's their list.
Boy it'll just be too bad if they can't find them, 'cause then Soundcheck will get to keep all that money: if the figure of an average of $360 per astist is to be believed, that's $2,952,000 Soundcheck will NOT be paying to artists.
Josh - you really should have researched this issue more thoroughly. I share your passion for seeing that artists - especially small indie artists - get their fair shake o' the money tree, but honestly you need to dig a bit deeper into this whole thing than you have.
Do you ever read the SLOG? (just askin'). There is an excellent - perhaps scathing - commentary on Soundcheck by attorney Fred Wilhelm on the June 8 SLOG here (scroll to near the end of the comments to find Fred's).
Fred pretty much debunks SoundExchange's supposed goodwill towards artists in his comments.
It might have been worth the time to chat with Fred before you wrote your article (just sayin').
Fred also has an excellent rebuttal to the new rates: "Why the New Royalty Rates Hurt Artists".
(Damn The Stranger's "one embedded link per post" rule, even if it is supposed to be stopping spam or whatever.) *grin*
Seattle Salmon, you have your tin foil cap? get it here - http://zapatopi.net/afdb/
The good thing is John Simson is going to come to Seattle to discuss this with anyone who cares in person. Hopefully Inslee will step up and show up to discuss his bill.
more news to come.
And damn hypertext links - I goofed up the html coding - forgot an apparently all-important " somewhere in the mix.

(scroll down just a bit to get to the article)
Well Dave, if you can't address the points I'm making, I guess you can always call me names.
At least David Byrne understands what's at stake.
SS - cut and paste all the press releases, and drop all the names you want. David Byrne? All you are doing is quoting people who own radio stations that don't want to pay for the music they use. They'll pay for hosting, they'll pay for computers and equipment, they'll pay rent, they'll pay employees to collect add dollars, but they won't pay musicians and labels who make and produce the music that makes all of what they want to do possible.
I actually can't get past your first post about how Soundexchange wants to 'distinguish a whole medium'. That is so ridiculous it's barely worth commenting on.
Soundexchange represents over 20,000 recording artists, over 2,500 independent labels. It collects from webcasters. It wants to see these webcasters thrive so it can collect more money. The webcasters don't want to pay for the music they use. So there's a fight. The webcasters aren't evil, nor are the artists and labels who want to get paid. It's just a negotiation.
The hysteria and misinformation on the webcaster side has risen to a level where it's brought out the crazies, and on forums like this that means the 'cut and paste' crazies. You're the case in point.
In addition to the resources in post 22, Slashdot has impressive commentary and discussion on the SoundExchange debacle.
Latest news - the reduced fees will only go to stations that implement Digital Rights Management (DRM). Thanks to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, that means that it will be *illegal* to listen to net radio in any way not pre-approved by the man. Sure, you can hack DRM, but that leaves you a mark for extortion.
Broadcast is a *marketing* medium, and the big players are desperately trying to extinguish voices that might undermine their exclusivity. High minimum fees and DRM requirements do a great job.
Meinert, please tell us about why you think the administrative fees that are applied per station help artists.
oh, wait, they don't see any of that money.
meinart says:
``if the stations you listen to don't have income, then they pay nothing. Pretty sweet deal.``
Not true. These is a $2000 minimum per year, and you have to pay 7% of your expenses *or* 10% or your revenues (under $250k; 12% over that).
``A 'small' webcaster is a commercial webcaster with below $1.25 million in annual income. That's a pretty big 'small' webcaster. The biggest 'small' webcaster currently makes only $400,000 per year, so even the largest 'small' webcaster has quite a lot of room to grow before they have to start paying fair market value for their content.``
Those numbers were true under the SWSA but the "offer" from SoundExchange to extend this offer has not been presented to the CRB. There are limitations on the number of listeners a station can have under this RIAA/SX proposal which would be determined on a case by case basis according to a SoundExchange rep I spoke with. THIS OFFER IS NOT SOLID AND HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED PUBLICLY IN ALL COMPLETENESS.
Also, not sure where yo get that $400k figure. There are a lot of small indie webcaters getting close to the $1 mil revenues mark. THAT IS NOT A HIGH NUMBER when you consider all the costs entailed with internet broadcasting. EVEN THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION has a $5 mil cap for broadcasters to be considered a "small business".
What ends up happening is that a small webcaster is FORCED to stay small. As soon as you hit that 1.25 mil cap (or the listener cap which has not been disclosed) you have to pay the huge royalties for the WHOLE YEAR.
One thing you don't point out is that over-the--air broadcasters are specifically exempted from this royalty by US copyright law.
Everyone loves to mention Clear Channel. But the bottom line is that Clear Channel doesn't do that much MUSIC webcasting. Most of their popular webcasts are their talk programming. They're not going to be paying that big of royalties anyhow.
Why do you think that internet radio should have to pay such higher rates than satellite radio? XM and Sirius pay less than 3% of their total revenues in SounxExchange royalties. A little more than half of their programming is music programming, and that's where the 7.5% number comes from. When the satellite radio fees are raised, the internet fees will be raised as well. But they should all be calculated the same way.
If you don't like the 7.5% rate, why not demand congress raise it? The issue is there needs to be a percentage of revenue (or costs) calculation. That's how ASCAP, BMI, SESAC do it. That's how other PPLs in other countries do it.
@24 Talk about quoting press releases!
First off: drop the BS that webcasters don't want to pay artists. Webcasters DO pay artists (unlink AM/FM broadcasters). But it's hard to say it's fair to raise prices 300% (and up to 1200% in the case of many small indie webcasters).
And Sound Exchange may represent 20,000 artists, yet for example, Live365 has over 250,000 artists played across all their stations. They've been paying royalties for years. Alas 200,000 or so of those guys fall under SoundExchange's minimum payout.
Let me give you another example of how the current royalties are screwed:
A radio station making $400k a year right now under the CRB royalty ruling would owe over $1 mil in royalties in 2007. Now the SX offer to extend the small webcasters rate for 2 years (with a few catches added) will mean that station would only pay about $42k in royalties in 2007. But if they successfully grow their business and revenues 3 times to hit that 1.2 million level, their royalties would go up to about $3 million - JUST for the SoundExchange royalties.
That's ridiculous. It's an impossible barrier to any station to grow past a certain size UNLESS they're acquired by a larger company. So much for a thriving independent internet radio industry.
Dave - you've done a lot for music in Seattle and I gotta respect that, but you don't run an internet radio station, so it's possible you don't really understand what it costs and how the CRB royalty rate hike will affect webcasters.
That's why I quoted some some webcasters, except that I also quoted C/NET, SoundExchange, Nashville Attorney Fred Wilhelms (who represents and tracks down $ for artists), and even The Stranger's own SLOG - all of who are not webcasters. Also I quoted David Byrne, who is . . . an ARTIST! who receives royalties for his work and who (probably) IS one of the "20,000 recording artists SoundExchange represents."
** But people should read up on all this for themselves and make up their own minds - it's as easy as googling "CRB rates" to start to turn up articles on all sides of this issue.
If you think the debate is about whether or not artists should get paid royalties - or how much - for songs played on net radio, then you are missing the bigger picture. I cannot say it any better than this:
"Because net radio is a threat to their business model, and because it's the future of radio."
"This is a clear attempt by the majors to kill what they can't control. They took control of broadcast radio in the early '90s when they instituted their thinly-disguised 'indie promoter' scheme as a legal form of payola, thereby pricing small labels out of broadcast because they couldn't afford the massive entry fee."
"Hence there may be a real future in an internet radio that's outside the system. Sounds unbelieveable, but that exactly what happened in the '60s with the advent of FM radio; the DJs were set free, the people flocked to it, and the music business was reborn, bigger than ever."
Merely making the debate out to be about whether or not, or how much in, royalties to pay artists is to not understand that we are close to a tipping point, perhaps even a revolution, in how more artists can have more control over getting their music heard by tons more people - without having to go through the Big 4 record labels.
If no hears you, no one pays you anything, and for a really long time the Big 4 (and their predecessors) have pretty much controlled who's music anybody got to hear.
As far as royalty payments to artists, net radio royalty payments to artists (or at least to SoundExchange) have increased each year with the $20 million in 2006 being the largest total payment to date. And all indications are that the royalty payments to artists paid by net radio will continue increasing.
But the new royalty rates the CRB put in place this past April are like this: If you've been paying $700 a month for your apartment, and each year the landlord raised the rent a bit to $725 the next year, then $750 the following year and so forth, then you'd grumble a bit, but you'd probably keep living there and paying a bit higher rent each year.
But if one year your landlord jacked up your rent from $700 to $2,100, then you'd probably move out the same day.
That's why there's all the sqwaking going on. If the CRB rate increase had been more gradual, you wouldn't have the showdown in congress that's happening now with the IREA (Internet Radio Equality Act).
Personally I don't think everything is perfect with either the new CRB rates or with parts of the IREA. But the point here is not to kill the goose before it finishes laying the golden egg.
As it stands now the new CRB rates will kill an awful lot of the internet radio stations and will severely cripple others in terms of how large they can get (which also limits how much $ they can pay artists). As of July 15 the new CRB Rates ARE in effect. SoundExchange does NOT set the rates, nor can they change them (they just collect the fees).
All of this willingness of SoundExchange to negotiate some changes to the new rates is nice, and sure, SoundExchange can make "recommendations" about their proposed changes to the new rates, but the only folks who can change the new rates now are either congress or the CRB - and the CRB already was asked to reconsider and they said "no," so it's now in the hands of congress . . .
. . . and each of us!
Thanks Dave, for an engaging discussion on this topic!

...I thought I heard Jennifer mention JSDA was cash flow positive Q2. That is huge. No more cash burn for the foreseeable future as Q3 seasonally has higher revs and margins.
That is what I also heard although cash went down quarter over quarter. Inventories went much higher, get those out the door in Q3 and sales go even higher. Maybe that is all part of the plan?
Perhpas. Either way the decrease signals no threat to running out of cash over the next 12 months.

Dictionary now calls 'anchor baby' offensive term
Published on Thu, Dec 08, 2011
The first new edition of the American Heritage Dictionary in 10 years contained 10,000 new entries -- and one of them in particular caused a flurry of protest among immigrant and Latino advocates.
The fifth edition of the dictionary defined the term "anchor baby" as "A child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil, especially such a child born to parents seeking to secure eventual citizenship for themselves and often other members of their family."
The original definition did not include any indication that the phrase is offensive, as it does for other words.
Immigration Impact, a group that that advocates for the rights of immigrants, first covered the word's inclusion on its blog on Dec. 2 and pressed for a change that would reflect the "poisonous and derogatory nature of the term."
After reading the post, the executive editor of the dictionary, Steve Kleinedler, agreed that the definition needed to change.
The current wording was added to the online dictionary on Monday. It flags the word as "offensive" and defines "anchor baby" as being "used as a disparaging term for a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil, especially when the child's birthplace is thought to have been chosen in order to improve the mother's or other relatives' chances of securing eventual citizenship."
Kleinedler told Colorlines, a blog that reports on issues of race, ethnicity and social justice, that changing the word was more about accuracy than outrage.
"Personally, this was not a reaction that we have to fix it because people are angry," Kleinedler told Colorlines. "We fixed it because we were wrong. And I, as the executive editor, acknowledge the fact that this was an error and I take responsibility for that."
This isn't the first time that a dictionary definition has caused controversy. In 2003, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added a second meaning for the word "marriage" that included same-sex couples "in a relationship like that of traditional marriage," which offended those who believed the word should only be defined as describing a relationship between a man and a woman. The dictionary did not change the definition.
But in 1998, Merriam-Webster altered its definition of the word "n-----" after it was the focus of a letter writing campaign. The definition shifted from "a black person ... usually taken to be offensive" to one that emphasized the offensive nature of the term.

They probably did not need a roof on the nicest day of the
junior club rugby season so far, on Saturday, but playing at
Forsyth Barr Stadium was still ''awesome'' and ''way better''
than being outside, Dunedin's junior players reckoned.
Although one young lad thought it was a tad on the warm side,
his mum thought being in the stadium was great because she
did not need to lug gumboots or an umbrella with her to the
sideline, as was usually required.
''We love it,'' she said. The use of the stadium for the day
was offered to the Otago Rugby Football Union as part of
Dunedin Venues' community sport programme.
Otago Daily Times photographer PeterMcIntosh called at
Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday to capture some of the
under-11 and under-13 action at the venue.

Arts, culture, heritage and lifestyle in Albion Park
Albion Park is a compact but lively town at the gateway to Kiama. It lies at the junction of routes to Sydney and the Southern Highlands.
About Albion Park
Just inland from Shellharbour on the shores of the Lake Illawarra you'll find Albion Park, a small, lively town between Wollongong and Kiama. The town lies at the junction of routes to Sydney and the Southern Highlands, to the east of the Illawarra Escarpment. The town developed in the late 1800s, following the construction of the Albion Park Railway Station.
Albion Park is home to Macquarie Pass National Park, its sandstone gullies, rainforests, and Illawarra flame trees set on the Illawarra Escarpment. A haven for native wildlife, bushwalk through the park and you may spot lyrebirds, satin bowerbirds, koalas, possums, wombats, swamp wallabies, goannas and platypus.
Albion Park also has some wonderful small museums. The Illawarra Light Railway Museum is dedicated to the small steam and diesel-powered locomotives that served in the mining and agricultural industries of yesteryear. The Tongarra Museum illustrates the amazing history of the Illawarra with artefacts, photographs, historical documents and sketches. The Historical Aircraft Restoration Society Museum features fully restored and operational aircraft, ranging from small Cessnas to a fleet of stars, such as Tiger Moths.
Jamberoo Action Park is a major attraction of the area, especially for families. Less than 10 minutes' drive from Albion Park, the park was originally a farm, becoming a grass skiing park in the 1980s and even hosting the Grass Skiing World Titles in 1983. It was then converted into a waterpark with waterslides, raft and boat rides, kids rides, and a bobsled and chairlift.
Albion Park's Illawarra Regional Airport is a great place to experience the thrills of flying in a light aircraft. The Sydney Microlight Centre, based at the airport, offers professional pilot training as well as introductory flights. This is the closest approved microlight training facility to Sydney; you can even take a joy flight to get a bird's-eye-view of the spectacular South Coast.

So I have this small bundle with applescript made, and it even seems to work as it should. However, it appearently doesnt open my files when it is asked to via the
open utility. It works though when I use the finder. Can anybody help me? My code is this:
on open theFile
set runner to ((path to me)'s POSIX path) & "Contents/MacOS/desk_parse"
-- We need to escape some stuff here.
-- Expected output: '/path/to/bundle.app//Contents/MacOS/dsk_parse' '/path/to/app.desk'
do shell script "'" & runner & "' '" & (POSIX path of theFile) & "' &"
--display dialog runner
end open
Again, it works from finder, but not from command line like:
open "theFile.ext"
My Info.plist rads and also accepts the extension I saved into it. So that association actualy works.
