300,000,000 smartphones coming soon. Carlos Slim of Telmex tells me the world is about to change. "Two billion more people will connect to the Internet when smartphones cost $50. The phone makers are promising me a $50 phone in 2014." If Spreadtrum and Firefox deliver a $25 smartphone, as promised, that could accelerate takeover.
~310,000,000 Africans will be connected to the Internet in 2017, Arielle Sumits of Cisco predicts. The population of the U.S. is about 310,000,000, Africa over a billion. It's inevitable that the U.S. will be dwarfed by the rest of the world. In Africa, there are already about 450,000,000 mobile phone users with substantial growth continuing. Most of them will get Internet-capable phones in the next few years.
There are fewer than 10M broadband landlines on the continent, about one line per hundred people.
Steve Perlman's pCell claims require a reality distortion field. Update: 2 professors confirm below. Second Update. Met with Perlman and engineers. He has real engineers who did a slick trick using iPhones as LTE receivers. They may also have some neat tricks in MU MIMO and SON. Not close to their claims and most not new. Update 3: They don't give details about the software inside their server. It could be seriously interesting as improvements on how cells work together. Or it could be not. More to come. Original: Nick Wingfield in the Times believed a demo that could be reproduced on a cheap home WiFi router demonstrates a wireless breakthrough nyti.ms/1cZx3rS. The Times showed 8 iPhones simultaneously playing HD video. Reporter Nick Wingfield wrote, "that would ordinarily bring a cellular network to its knees." Netflix streams at 5.5 mbps or less, so 8 streams is less than the 50 megabits even a modest cell site delivers, with 100-150 megabits becoming the standard rapidly. Within the space of a loft, speeds would be much higher. A 300 megabit router at Fry's this week costs $44.95 http://http://bit.ly/1ghadhU; Fry's is selling a gigabit router for $129.95 http://bit.ly/O9rWQM. Ericsson has demo'd 800 megabit LTE in a van driving around Stockholm. 48 megabits or even 400 megabits in a small space is not an advance.
What Steve really has is a lot of hot air and what appears to be a prototype MU-MIMO system. If he has that production ready, that would be an important advance similar to work going on at all the major wireless vendors. That's similar to what Stanford researchers and many others have been working on for years. Literally in the last century, Stanford Professor AJ Paulraj described such systems. He predicted MIMO would one day produce a 1,000x and higher improvement in wireless speeds and that the theoretical limits could be 1,000,000x. Paulraj in 1993 invented MIMO, likely the heart of pCell.
Merrill Lynch: "Right decision for the business." Eastern Canada's Bell Aliant intends to pass their millionth home with fiber by the end of 2014. The results in fiber areas are so much superior they are accelerating the build to 200,000 this year. This will cover 70% of the homes where they compete with cable. A few years ago, BA was being clobbered by Eastlink, an aggressive local cableco. They decided the only way to fight back was with fiber, even though majority owner Bell Canada wasn't doing the same.
Glen Campbell of Merrill calculates they are spending $550-$600 per home, in line with Verizon's current costs for a similar build. Add the cost of connecting the homes and ~$1,000 is a reasonable estimate. Note that the next 30% of homes is predictably more expensive. Going from 70-90% wiould include maney homes that cost $2K to pass. The last 5-10% can cost $3,000-5,000 per, which is why even ambitious builds like Australia's don't intend to cover the last 5-10%.
Kudos to Sheldon MacDonald and Karen Sheriff for demonstrating how efficiently fiber can be deployed.
Dudi Baum of Sckipio expects chips in 2014, gear in 2015. ITU-T Study Group 15 on Dec 6 approved a standard for G.fast. SG Chair Tom Starr writes
"The members of ITU-T Q4/15 worked 14 hours per day last week and the G.fast editor, Les Brown, worked 18 hours on most days to keep up with incorporating the material generated by the group.
Automatically setting each subscriber profile. John Cioffi founded ASSIA because he saw ways to make DSL networks more reliable by dynamically adjusting the network based on regular testing of every line. Carriers serving over 65M lines of DSL believe the techniques work well enough to purchase ASSIA's software and service. BT hasn't bought ASSIA software and Mr Justice Birss found that BT's NGA broadband network system infringes EP (UK) 1,869,790 and that the patent is valid. ASSIA tells me they believe the patent is not "standards-essential" and royalties are not limited by "FRAND." That suggests the potential royalties ASSIA may win are substantial; the TI vs Ikanos/Globespan patent case resulted in an 8 figure settlement.
Reporting beyond that becomes subjective so I'll stop here although this is an important story for the industry. I'm on ASSIA's Advisory Board and have a conflict of interest. Here's BT's reply, the press releases with detail and the abstract of the patent itself.
The U.S. wants neutrality out of the coming WSIS and I wrote to ITAC "The U.S. is not a credible defender of the open Internet if we keep making decisions like this." WSIS is the upcoming U.N. ITU World Summit on the Information Society, which is working on a statement. ITAC is a State Department Advisory committee that's open to all and I urge those interested to join. It's easy and you get most of the "secret" documents from the ITU in your email. Write firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll connect you.
Engineers confident speeds will rapidly improve. Although early test results from Alcatel, Belgacom and Swisscom put 100 meg vectored VDSL into the headlines, there's still a way to go before those speeds are commonly delivered. Belgacom, after delaying the commercial rollout of vectored DSL to January, 2014, now says 70 megabits down will be their top speed at launch. Huawei, which is the likely supplier to Telecom Italia, Eircom, Swisscom and British Telecom, is only getting 30-50% speed improvements in the early trials.
Hu Yuelin of Huawei tells me they already have identified and solved many of the problems and that higher speeds will soon be practical. That corresponds for what Belgacom is saying, that they will raise maximum speeds to 100 megabits in the future with software and firmware upgrades. For now, best to think of vectoring as raising VDSL from common 25-50 megabits to common 45-80 megabits, for distances in the hundreds of meters.
Production-ready G.hn/G.now silicon for fiber to the basement. The G.hn "home networking" folks are promising 200-400 megabit service 50 & 100 meters. They hope to steal some of the quickly mounting clamour for G.fast. (see pr at end) They are ready with high speed chips while real performance of G.fast chips remains speculative. This initiative, called G.now, shouldn't be surprising. The G.hn and powerline folk pioneered using frequencies to 100 MHz and 200 MHz, which is the heart of G.fast. Key G.fast engineers like Dudi Baum at Sckipio previously worked on powerline,
G.now's TDD architecture allows them to vary the split between upstream and down. Between both, speed "is 600 Mbps @ 50m, 500Mbps @ 100m, 350 Mbps @ 200m." They also promise bonding where the second line is available. That should almost double these speeds. They have Korea Telecom as a respected reference customer ready to begin. (Press releases below"
On the other hand, a senior engineer at a world-class telco writes me, "I do not foresee any service provider deploying a non-standard solution. For my point of view, it is not a threat at all for G.fast."
Practicalities not determined. The British regulator in an updated paper declares "there are two ways in which vectoring and SLU may work together." http://bit.ly/MfNLwI They add that BT has already begun a trial and may very soon roll out vectoring, as I previously reported http://bit.ly/ZAGM3w. BT now seems to be wavering on vectoring. In technical committees, they are fighting competitors because they don't want to cede control.
In the interim, British cable competitor Virgin was bought up by Fries and Malone at LGI, who strongly believe in tacit cooperation and higher prices rather than winning away customers. In half the country, BT has a monopoly because there is no cable. So they have little pressure to upgrade. In practice, European telcos tend to spend money to upgrade only when they fear competitors taking customers.
Incumbents love the idea that vectoring imust be a monopoly and have been pushing that hard. Competitors strongly disagree.
Rainer Strobel of Lantiq, Reinhard Stolle of Hochschule Augsburg and Wolfgang Utschick of Technische Universität München have built a new model that better fits the data. They write me "The industry is using a a cable model back from 1998, originally designed to describe cable properties for single line ADSL transmission. These models, adopted by ETSI and NIPP-NAI, served their purpose reasonably well for VDSL2 frequencies (<30MHz).
For the frequency range of interest for G.9701 (G.FAST), they are simply not accurate enough and don't reflect the physical coupling effects between pairs. For the purpose of developing G.FAST technology, we did require precise mathematical models of telecom cable binders up to 300MHz. These models have been developed and successfully verified against measurements of real world cables and did allow precise performance prediction and benchmarking of algorithms for G.FAST, that otherwise had never been possible with the 1998 versions."
Alcatel's Stefaan van Hastel similarly observes, "the crosstalk behavior at these very high frequencies is very different than the behavior at the frequencies used by VDSL2. We're talking Vectoring 2.0. It's a significant change that needs to happen in vectoring" to work on the higher frequencies. http://bit.ly/1jokUEH He believes it will be years before the vectoring for G.fast is developed and it reaches maximum performance.
Everyone in the industry is waiting for actual results from production G.fast systems before coming to any conclusion on performance levels.
China Telecom added 2.2M wireline broadband subscribers and China Unicom 1.7M to 64.4M. China Telecom at the end of October reached 98.75M subs and around Christmas will pass 100M. 20M of those are fiber, often to the basement rather than the apartment. Point-Topic believes there actually was a modest decline in DSL in favor of fiber, but the Chinese companies deliberately obscure those figures. LTE is coming on December 16, when China Mobile will turn on an LTE network that may be more than 100,000 cells, more than all the U.S. carriers combined. China Telecom has to match that quickly, so may be cutting wireline capex an amazing 50%. That would stop the fiber rollout. http://bit.ly/18jAuLg It may also just be posturing to encourage a government broadband subsidy. In any case, LTE data without wireline will begin to serve 5-25% of the broadband market who don't need high capacity. This will inevitably slow DSL & fiber, perhaps to virtually no growth in the U.S. and Western Europe in a few years.
DT is having more problems than I knew. Deutsche Telekom is starting to build 12-24M lines of Vectored DSL, turning on 10 cities, But they aren't turning on full vectoring until second half of 2014. Belgacom is turning on vectoring in ?February, but throttling down the top speed to 70 megabits. Alcatel is still putting out press releases with how many "vector-ready" lines they have, but they clearly aren't ready.
Deutsche Telekom had promised regulator Jochen Homann they would roll 100 meg in 2013. In return, he rushed through new rules they demanded. They'd be stupid to embarass Homan unless they had no choice because the system wasn't working. DT isn't stupid.
The software and probably the firmware on Alcatel's gear (and probably Adtran's) is not working right yet in the real world.
England, Australia seeing price rises as competition falls. Virgin Cable in the UK is raising prices 7% despite falling costs. I've previously reported that England has fallen to 3-4 major players and we're seeing now they are comfortable signalling each other to raise prices. They aren't nearly as high as the two player U.S. and Canada markets (few are) but the trend is unwelcome.
Years away, maybe never cost-effective, but damn impressive. Three friendlies, probably BT employees, connected to a Huawei G.FAST box at speeds averaging 800 megabits down and 200 megabits up, over ordinary phone wire. The test box was loaded with semi-custom FPGA chips. Dedicated chips aren't yet even sampling. Huawei hasn't yet implemented parasitical power, which will draw power from the users' modems instead of from the telecom exchange. Not needing to connect to outside power can be a huge cost savings. Hu Yuelin of Huawei tells me the power functions will be implemented soon.
Yuelin tells me commercial deployments are two or three years away. Other think that's optimistic for any volume of deployment. The G.FAST standard isn't final yet, although it's close. Chips running at a gigabit and required to do vectoring at that speed to reduce interference, are challenging to design.
Belgacom world's first commercial deployment. Thousands of homes are connected at a solid, reliable 70 megabits down in Belgium, Ten years ago John Cioffi and George Ginis wrote the paper that introduced vectoring and it's been a long wait. Customers previously getting 30 meg down are now receiving 70 meg. The DSLAMs are Alcatel-Lucent with Broadcom chips inside. The DSLAM are true nodes, not simple Board Level Vectoring. 48 lines true System Level Vectoring capable to vectorized 192 lines. The new home boxes (BBox 3) are from Sagemcom and Technicolor, with Broadcom chips for vectoring. It wasn't easy, but the previous home box (BBox 2) with Ikanos chips has been made "vector-friendly."
"Many but not all the lines up to 200 meters are testing at 100 megabits. We chose to be conservative and cap speeds at 70 meg. So far, the vectored lines are proving highly stable, G.inp and Seamless Rate Adaptation are proving helpful." Everyone's talking about 100 megabits from vectoring so I asked Patrick whether they will upgrade. "As we accumulate data from the rollout, we hope for a future move to 100 meg service."
Should France go gigabit or is 50-100 meg just fine. As part of the "incumbent takeover" spreading across Europe, France Telecom is fighting against government policy for full fiber home. Amidst pushback, ARCEP has called for a public consultation. (see below). Fiber home can deliver a reliable gigabit today, but Germany, Australia and England have decided the cheaper 50-100 megabits of DSL is all they will need for a decade and probably more. FT hopes to save a few hundred dollars per install, especially because they will draw power from the customers rather than the electric company.
Prettified with the name "fiber to the distribution point" (FTTdp), FT's plan uses puts a box in the basement and uses the copper to the apartment. They are already testing this in Poland with a box from Aethra, an Italian company using Lantiq VDSL chips. The Aethra box is single user, making vectored performance unlikely. There's no obvious way to connect the boxes for exchanging the information required for vectoring. As you can see from their release at bottom, they claim 200 megabits down although it looks like they are using VDSL2 chips normally considered 100 megabits. They did a demonstration at last year's BBWF of their box with 50 meters of direct wire. The speeds in the Youtube video were 227M down, 89M up http://bit.ly/1lrBz8g. Speeds in real world deployments will be lower. The boxes are a little clunky for now. I'm sure they (and their Lantiq partners) are working hard to reduce both size and cost. They need to get the cost well under $100 to be attractive for volume deployment.
The Aethra box anticipates G.fast with "parasitic power." It draws power from the customer connection, eliminating the need for the carrier to connect mains power in the basement. The cost to the customer of that power is modest, perhaps $1-2/year.
Unproven problem but worrisome on real world copper. G.Fast achieves more bandwidth by using higher frequencies, overlapping the frequencies used in broadcast. The shielding on the cable is supposed to avoid problems, as is the provision in the G.Fast standard for "notches" to avoid using frequencies that cause interference. The "radio" division of ITU, which oversees broadcasting frequencies, was worried about problems and issued a report in April 2013. (below, from interference.org.uk).
Lobbyist BREKO provides estimates. WIK, a respected consulting group, estimates that in the densest 5% of Germany (2750 lines per km ²) vectoring 2M homes would cost 430M euros, about USD 550 per home passed. The least dense 5% would cost 2 billion euro, or about $1,400/home passed. Based on what I've learned working on a network in Vermont, the later figure is low even if some are served with LTE. The last 1% can be brutally expensive to reach. I distrust lobbyist funded studies, but Karl-Heinz Neumann and Scott Marcus of WIK have earned my respect from prior work.
Joe Lechleider at Bellcore invented DSL in the late 1980's, along with numerous colleagues going back to Claude Shannon. He's now been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame located at the U.S. Patent Office. The citation
Joseph Lechleider was the first person to demonstrate the feasibility of sending broadband signals over copper. His work led to DSL and ADSL technology, turning the existing copper wire phone network into a high-speed broadband delivery instrument and allowing for transmission of data at equal or different rates in each direction.
1M connected by Comcast's $10 for the poor. High prices mean almost a third of U.S. homes don't take broadband, but now TWC is offering nearly 25% of the U.S. a reasonable connection for $21/month. It's 2 down, 1 up and doesn't have a silly cap. If you buy your own modem, cheap on eBay, it goes down to $15/month. This is a regular price, available to all, not a 12 month cheap taste of broadband to get you addicted.
Before Obama was elected, most of the U.S. could get a minimal broadband connection from the telcos for $15/month. Julius Genachowski talked about broadband but allowed low end prices to go over $30 most places. In Verizon FiOS territory, the cheapest connection is now an amazing $70/month. Next time Randall of AT&T visits the White House, maybe his new friend Barack can talk him into more reasonable prices.
Low prices are the only method proven to work to increase adoption.
"The cost dynamics of deploying fiber have radically changed. The interfaces. the home wiring requirements, how you get a drop to a pole and splice it, it's just totally changed." That's straight from CEO Randall Stephenson speaking to investors at Goldman Sachs. Randall personally killed 30 million lines of fiber home in 2004, so his change of opinion is significant. Although some doubt it, the industry reference is Verizon's < $700 to pass a home and as much for the home hookup drilling walls and burrowing under gardens. Randall is implying that many homes could be reached at $600-1,000 per, a realistic figure where distances are short and conditions favorable. Not all will subscribe, so the cost per customer will be more like $1,500-2,500. Average yearly revenue per U-Verse sub is $1,800 but the huge cost of TV programming eats up a quarter of that. The fiber payback period remains long for a private company.
Fiber costs are still very high in most rural areas and some urban ones, particularly with buried cables with poor access.At least 30% of homes in most countries will cost more than that, so that is not a figure to use, for example, to analyze Australia's planned 90% deployment. I know the actual costs in one rural build are over $3,000/home passed.

There is no way. This question is basically a duplicate of Is there a way to hide the new HTML5 spinbox controls shown in Google Chrome & Opera? but maybe not a full duplicate, since the motivation is given. If the purpose is "browser's awareness of the content being purely numeric", then you need to consider what that would really mean.

Those arrows are part of the Shadow DOM, which are basically DOM elements on your page which are hidden from you. If you're new to the idea, a good introductory read can be found here. For the most part, the Shadow DOM saves us time and is good. But there are instances, like this question, where you want to modify it. You can modify these in Webkit now with the right selectors, but this is still in the early stages of development. The Shadow DOM itself has no unified selectors yet, so the webkit selectors are proprietary (and it isn't just a matter of appending Because of this, it seems likely that Opera just hasn't gotten around to adding this yet. Finding resources about Opera Shadow DOM modifications is tough, though. A few unreliable internet sources I've found all say or suggest that Opera doesn't currently support Shadow DOM manipulation. I spent a bit of time looking through the Opera website to see if there'd be any mention of it, along with trying to find them in Dragonfly...neither search had any luck. Because of the silence on this issue, and the developing nature of the Shadow DOM + Shadow DOM manipulation, it seems to be a safe conclusion that you just can't do it in Opera, at least for now. |

Sirius XM Radio Ready To Get Down To Business
With the FCC formally announcing its approval of the merger of XM and Sirius, the satcasters announced today that the merger is a done deal. The combined company's new official corporate name is Sirius XM Radio Inc., using the NASDAQ stock symbol SIRI.
The new company now has 18.5 million total subscribers, claiming it is the "second-largest radio company, based upon revenue, in the country." As part of the merger, XM shareholders will receive 4.6 shares of Sirius common stock for each share of XM.
"I am delighted to announce the completion of this exciting merger between SIRIUS and XM," said Mel Karmazin, CEO of SIRIUS XM Radio. "We have worked diligently to close this transaction and we look forward to integrating our best-in-class management teams and operations so we can begin delivering on our promise of more choices and lower prices for subscribers."
"Every one of our constituencies is a winner. Combined, Sirius XM Radio will deliver superior value to our shareholders. By offering more compelling packages and the best content in audio entertainment, we are well positioned for increased subscriber growth. Our laser focus on subscribers will continue and listeners can be assured that there will be no disruption in service. We also believe that the completion of the merger will eliminate any confusion that has been lingering in the marketplace," added Karmazin.
The much-tauted a la carte options have been announced as well. Some of the new options include "Best of Both" (accessing programming picked from XM and Sirius), discounted Family Friendly plans, and such tailored plans as "Mostly Music" and "News, Talk and Sports." The new a la carte options will begin rolling out in the fall.
"One of the most exciting benefits of this transaction is the ability to offer subscribers the option of expanding their subscriptions to include the Best of Both services. Given the respective popularity of exclusive programming on both Sirius and XM, we expect many subscribers will upgrade their current subscription," said Karmazin. "The upside potential for both consumers and shareholders is huge. Consumers have the ease of adding premier programming without purchasing a new device. For shareholders, this kind of organic growth is a key part of the company's future and the success we expect to see."
Karmazin added, "In addition to realizing significant potential revenue growth, the management team will move quickly to capitalize on the synergies that many analysts have predicted for this combination. We expect to begin achieving those synergies without sacrificing any of the world-class programming and marketing we are known for."
The company also reiterated guidance for the combined Sirius XM Radio. Based upon a preliminary analysis, the combined company expects to realize total synergies, net of the costs to achieve such synergies, of approximately $400 million in 2009; to post adjusted EBITDA exceeding $300 million in 2009; and to achieve positive free cash flow, before satellite capital expenditures, for the full year 2009. The company also expects that both synergies and adjusted EBITDA will continue growing beyond 2009.
"We have all the tools necessary to begin executing as a combined company with high aspirations for subscriber growth and greater financial performance in part from the significant synergies that we begin realizing literally today — on Day One. We are moving quickly to integrate the operations," said Karmazin.
Sirius XM's corporate headquarters will be located in New York City, while XM will remain in Washington, DC as a " wholly-owned subsidiary."
Obama campaign rejects rapper Ludacris' rhymes
CHICAGO (AP) — Barack Obama's presidential campaign says a new rhyme by supporter and rapper Ludacris is "outrageously offensive" to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Republican Sen. John McCain and President Bush.
The song brags about an Obama presidency being destiny. It uses an expletive to describe Clinton, calls Bush "mentally handicapped" and says McCain doesn't belong in "any chair unless he's paralyzed."
The lyrics don't spare the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who recently apologized for making crude comments about Obama. "If you said it then you meant it," intones the rapper.
Obama's campaign blasted "Politics as Usual," which is on the "Gangsta Grillz: The Preview" mixtape with Atlanta spinner DJ Drama.
"As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn't want his daughters or any children exposed to," campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in an e-mail statement Wednesday. "This song is not only outrageously offensive to Sen. Clinton, Rev. Jackson, Sen. McCain and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics."
Ludacris' publicist and manager did not immediately return calls Wednesday for comment.
Butthole Surfers gig ends in chaos
A Butthole Surfers gig in New York ended in chaos after frontman Gibby Haynes was involved in a fight with the venue's soundman.
Towards the end of their set at the city's Webster Hall (July 29), Haynes motioned to the soundman that his monitor was not loud enough – by showing him his middle finger.
When the soundman repeated the gesture, Haynes confronted him and the two became involved in a fight, much to the crowd's apparent delight.
However, the quarrel resulted in Haynes being dragged offstage by security.
The band continued for one more song, with guitarist Paul Leary filling in on vocals for 'The Shah Sleeps In Lee Harvey's Grave'.
Despite the altercation, Gothamist reports that no arrests were made at the venue.
The Avalanches to finally finish second album
The Avalanches have suggested that the wait for their second album may nearly be over.
The Australian sample kings released their debut 'Since I Left You' back in 2001 – and even that record was delayed as the mass of sound clips used on the album, including Madonna's 'Holiday', were cleared (or not).
However posting recently on Myspace.com/theavalanches, the band have indicated a follow-up album is on the way.
Though giving away scant details, the band's status declares they are "putting the finishing touches on album 2 !!!!!!!!!".

Sony BMG Lost $42M Last Quarter
Sonybmg Sales at Sony BMG decreased 6% over the previous year "due to the continue decline in the physical music market worldwide not being fully offset by growth in digital product sales" according to Sony's latest earnings report. The division lost $42 million before taxes last quarter alone compared to a profit of $31 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. Best selling releases during the quarter included Usher's, Here I Stand, Leona Lewis' Spirit and Neil Diamond's Home Before Dark.
The decline left analysts scrambling to explain why Sony would still be in serious talks to purchase a controlling interest in the partnership from Bertlesmann. Does Sony really see future profits in recorded music or does it want to gut the operation to cut its losses more quickly?

Amy Winehouse Released From London Hospital
Amy Winehouse was released from a London hospital today (July 29) after an overnight stay to treat what her spokesman said was an adverse reaction to medication.
The 24-year-old artist was discharged from London's University College after spending the night in observation, said spokesman Chris Goodman.
Winehouse was rushed to the hospital's emergency room by ambulance from her north London home Monday night. Goodman said the medication had been taken at her home, but did not provide further details.
"She had a bit of a scare yesterday because of a reaction to treatment. She was kept in overnight purely for observation," Goodman said in a statement. "Amy is at home now after leaving with her father and manager. She is having a rest."

Black Kids:: Partie Traumatic (Album Review)
Short-shrifted by overzealous myth chasers when their solid four-song teaser EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, received accolades all too obviously disproportionate to its slight stature, Jacksonville's Black Kids had my sympathy and my skepticism heading into their full-length debut. But Partie Traumatic not only overcomes its ponderous pre-hype, it also shows that emo might not be today's only hope for romantic pop. The tensest moment comes in the silence just after "I'm Not Going To Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance," the hot-stepping climax. How (you might nervously wonder) will the band, just seven songs into their career, close out their so-far-scorching debut set of nü-Motown synth-soul? But the expected slow-jam comedown never arrives. Instead we get three more great pop songs (all up-tempo, pacing conventions be damned) ranging from sour-cherries I-need-all-of-you disco to strutting Rapture-redolent independence disco. Imagine a Robert Smith who asks for no pity and you have lead vocalist Reggie Youngblood, whose citrusy man-boy wailings intensify the slick "Hit the Heartbreaks" and "Hurricane Jane." The lyrics run, uh, let's say straightforward, but Black Kids know as well as any good sentimentalists that delivery is everything; teenage yearning couldn't hope for a much better vehicle than their pouting power pop.
Ex-Pumpkins Members Sue For Digital Royalties
Two former members of the Smashing Pumpkins sued Virgin Records, saying the label shut them out of profits after signing a deal with the rock band's frontman, Billy Corgan.
In their lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, James Iha and D'Arcy Wretzky-Brown, both 40, accused Virgin Records America Inc. of not paying them for music downloads and other digitally delivered Smashing Pumpkins music.
Iha and Wretzky-Brown, who were founding members of the Smashing Pumpkins, said in their lawsuit that, five years after the band first broke up in 2000, Virgin entered into a deal with Corgan, 41, and began licensing Smashing Pumpkins music through electronic transmissions.
"To date, Virgin continues to engage in the exploitation of electronic transmissions of the band's recordings without plaintiffs' consent," the lawsuit states.
A spokeswoman for Virgin, a unit of privately held EMI Group, declined to comment on the lawsuit because the company had not received it.
Corgan, the group's primary songwriter, resurrected the Smashing Pumpkins last year, without Iha or Wretzky-Brown. He told reporters in April that he has "zero" communication with them. Wretzky-Brown, who quit the band in 1999, has largely left the music business. Iha has kept busy with a variety of musical collaborations.
In March, Corgan sued Virgin Records over a promotional campaign involving Pepsi and Amazon that he said damaged the Pumpkins' image and reputation
The Rolling Stones Leave EMI For Universal
Ending months of speculation, the Rolling Stones have split with longtime label EMI and inked a new deal with the Universal Music Group. The pact covers not only future studio albums but the band's lucrative back catalog from 1971′s "Sticky Fingers" onward.
EMI, which has endured a rocky transition to private equity ownership by Terra Firma in recent months, is understood to have lobbied heavily to convince the Stones to remain with the company.
New recordings will be released via UMG's Polydor label worldwide, putting the distribution of the entire Stones catalog under one roof for the first time. The deal covers both digital and physical distribution, with UMG already working on a long-term strategy to digitize the catalog.
The Stones tested the waters with Universal in April, when they released the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese documentary "Shine a Light" through the label. U.S. sales are at 106,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
After recording for Decca Records through 1970, the Stones formed their own Rolling Stones label for the release of "Sticky Fingers" the following year. The previous deal with Virgin/EMI dates back to 1991, prior to Virgin's acquisition by EMI the following year. Warner Music, EMI itself and Sony BMG (as CBS) had all previously handled the catalog between 1971 and 1990.
ABKCO and Decca are co-owners of the copyrights outside North America for the Stones' catalog from 1963-1970.
The Stones released three studio albums for Virgin: 1994′s "Voodoo Lounge," 1997′s "Bridges to Babylon" and 2005′s "A Bigger Bang." The titles have sold a combined 3.6 million copies in the United States.
Franz Ferdinand reveal 'wild' new album secrets
Franz Ferdinand have revealed that they have been using some rather unconventional recording methods for the forthcoming new album, which they are currently finishing off in Glasgow with producer Dan Carey.
Frontman Alex Kapranos told BBC Newsbeat that the band had been employing some "wild" recording techniques, which involved guitarist Nick McCarthy climbing into the woodwork of the studio.
Kapranos said: "We have been doing a lot of experimenting in the studio with Dan. He's made us record the album in a much wilder way than we're used to.
"We did this thing in the studio called the Doppler Effect which is like when you are on the high street and you hear an ambulance go past and the sound of the siren pitch changes when it passes you.
"We were doing something similar on a track called 'What She Came For'. We were recording the guitar in this big hall next to our studio and Nick climbed into the ceiling and fed a microphone cable down through the rafters above the guitar speaker.
"Then when we were recording Dan was swinging this microphone above the guitar amp and we got this incredible sound."
The follow-up to 2005′s 'You Could Have It So Much Better' is due out in early 2009.
Albarn's 'Monkey' Opera Score Heading To CD
Damon Albarn's score for the opera "Monkey: Journey to the West" will be released in the fall via XL Recordings in North America.
The production, which is based on an idea by Jean-Luc Choplin from the original 16th century novel by Wu Cheng'en, premiered last summer in Manchester, England, and will be staged tomorrow (July 23) in London.
The 22-track album was recorded in London and Beijing with a host of European and Chinese musicians. A vinyl boxed set will be available through Vinyl Factory Ltd. Visuals were handled by Albarn's collaborator in Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett.
Albarn and Hewlett have already moved on to their next project, which Hewlett told the Daily Guardian will be called "Carousel." He said it is "even bigger and more difficult than 'Monkey,'" and may be a film, an album or both.
"Damon's written around 70 songs for it, and I've got great plans for the visuals, but right now, at this moment, it's still just a really good idea," he said.

The shortlist for the Nationwide Mercury Prize has been announced today (July 22).
The 12 nominees for the 2008 award were confirmed at a small ceremony held at Covent Garden in London this morning.
Radiohead and frontman Robert Plant were the biggest names on the list – the Oxford band were nominated for 'In Rainbows', while Plant picked up the nod for his collaboration with Alison Krauss, 'Raising Sand'.
Alex Turner made it three Mercury nominations on the trot as his The Last Shadow Puppets collaboration with The Rascals' Miles Kane followed the first two Arctic Monkeys albums in 2006 and 2007 to win a place on the 2008 shortlist.
As widely anticipated anonymous dubstep producer Burial was nominated for 'Untrue', while Elbow, Estelle and Adele were also among the 12.
Some of this year's biggest selling British albums were notable by their absence, with no place for either Duffy or Coldplay on the shortlist, as the panel gave nods to the likes of Laura Marling, Neon Neon and British Sea Power.
Rachel Unthank And The Winterset bagged the folk spot with 'The Bairns', while jazz act Portico Quartet were nominated for 'Knee-Deep In The North Sea'.
The 2008 Nationwide Mercury Prize shortlist is:
Adele – '19′
British Sea Power – 'Do You Like Rock Music?'
Burial – 'Untrue'
Elbow – 'The Seldom Seen Kid'
Estelle – 'Shine'

Portico Quartet – 'Knee-Deep In The North Sea'
Robert Plant And Alison Krauss – 'Raising Sand'
Radiohead – 'In Rainbows'
Rachel Unthank And The Winterset – 'The Bairns'
The winners will be announced at the ceremony in London on September 9.
Paul Westerberg Offers New Album For 49 Cents
Despite the fact that he doesn't have a computer and may never have been online in his life, Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg is the latest artist to embrace the Internet for rapid dissemination of new music.
Yesterday, Westerberg made available a 44-minute single MP3 file of a dozen-plus songs, dubbed "49," for 49 cents. Amazon.com is handling the commerce via a link from the Westerberg Web site Men Without Ties. Tunecore will begin carrying the release later today.
"He finished it on Monday, sent it to me on Tuesday and it was out this weekend," Westerberg manager Darren Hill said. "It's just wonderful that you can actually do this. The freedom an artist can enjoy these days is fantastic. Can you imagine me pitching this idea to a label?"
The 49-cent price was a joking suggestion from Westerberg to charge "a penny a minute," but Amazon.com was the only digital retailer that "would play ball with me on the price point," Hill says.
"49″ has no track list or lyrics, keeping with a long-standing Westerberg tradition. But a handful of the songs will be familiar to hardcore fans, including an alternate version of "Out of My System," which previously appeared on the compilation "Hot Stove, Cool Music," and "Everyone's Stupid," which is written from the perspective of a pre-teen who discovers he's the last to know about his parents' impending divorce.
Westerberg played all the instruments on the decidedly lo-fi recordings, which often feature two songs playing at once for a few seconds and short snippets that abruptly cut off. "It's almost like you're scanning a radio dial," Hill says. "You're getting a glimpse inside of Paul's head here."
"49″ concludes with a strange mash-up of partial covers such as the Partidge Family's "I Think I Love You," the Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye," Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild," Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock" and Elton John's "Rocket Man," and a rave-up apparently sung by Westerberg's pre-teen son Johnny.
Without revealing specifics, Hill says "49″ is "just the tip of a really large creative iceberg. Paul has been writing and recording at a furious pace." However, he adds that "there are no plans or talk of doing any performances at the moment."
Westerberg has only performed once since severely injuring his fretting hand in 2006 while trying to remove candle wax with a screwdriver: he was the subject of a September 2007 episode of "The Craft," a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame chat-and-sing series a la VH1′s "Songwriters," at Minneapolis' First Avenue, during which "Everyone's Stupid" was premiered.
As previously reported, the Replacements' major-label catalog will be reissued in expanded form Sept. 23 via Rhino.

Does it measure up to the rest? No way
By Steel
from Holladay, UT
If one wants to buy a stove based on sheer weight, this is it, look no further. Unfortunately, in this situation, heaviness does not equal to heavy duty or high quality. Very poor finish and fit. [*] Several defects with assembly. What ever happened to the Made in USA Camp Chef stoves? Will gladly pay double for quality. It uses a very generic cast iron burner that is widely available in most turkey fryers. Bought this stove elsewhere and returned it.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If Machine A is a Windows box, you can use Plink (part of PuTTY) with the -m parameter, and it will execute the local script on the remote server.
If Machine A is a Unix-based system, you can use:
You shouldn't have to copy the script to the remote server to run it. |
This is an old question, and Jason's answer works fine, but I would like to add this:
This can also be used with su and commands which require user input. (note the Edit: Since this answer keeps getting bits of traffic, i would add even more info to this wonderful use of heredoc: You can nest commands with this syntax, and thats the only way nesting seems to work (in a sane way)
You can actually have a conversation with some services like telnet, ftp, etc. But remember that heredoc just sends the stdin as text, it doesn't wait for response between lines |
Also, don't forget to escape variables if you want to pick them up from the destination host. This has caught me out in the past. For example:
prints out /home/user2 while
prints out /home/user Another example:
prints out "hello" correctly. |
That will prompt you for password, unless you have copied your hostA user's public key to the authorized_keys file on the home of user .ssh's directory. That will allow for passwordless authentication (if accepted as an auth method on the ssh server's configuration) |
This is an extension to YarekT's answer to combine inline remote commands with passing ENV variables from the local machine to the remote host so you can parameterize your scripts on the remote side:
I found this exceptionally helpful by keeping it all in one script so it's very readable and maintainable. Why this works. ssh supports the following syntax: In bash we can specify environment variables to define prior to running a command on a single line like so: That makes it easy to define variables prior to running a command. In this case echo is our command we're running. Everything before echo defines environment variables. So we combine those two features and YarekT's answer to get: In this case we are setting ARG1 and ARG2 to local values. Sending everything after user@host as the remote_command. When the remote machine executes the command ARG1 and ARG2 are set the local values, thanks to local command line evaluation, which defines environment variables on the remote server, then executes the bash -s command using those variables. Viola. |
I've started using Fabric for more sophisticated operations. Fabric requires Python and a couple of other dependencies, but only on the client machine. The server need only be a ssh server. I find this tool to be much more powerful than shell scripts handed off to SSH, and well worth the trouble of getting set up (particularly if you enjoy programming in Python). Fabric handles running scripts on multiple hosts (or hosts of certain roles), helps facilitate idempotent operations (such as adding a line to a config script, but not if it's already there), and allows construction of more complex logic (such as the Python language can provide). |
Assuming you mean you want to do this automatically from a "local" machine, without manually logging into the "remote" machine, you should look into a TCL extension known as Expect, it is designed precisely for this sort of situation. It's home page below looks kind of crappy but don't let that dissuade you; I've also provided a link to a script for logging-in/interacting via SSH. |
Capistrano provides a nice scripting system that automates scripting on one or more servers. It's very handy if you routinely want to run a script on a remote server or servers without the hassle of manually logging in over and over. |
try running ssh user@remote sh ./script.unx |
If your script is in Machine A, you can't run that on Machine B without copying it over. First, copy the script over to Machine B using scp Then, just run the script This will work if you have given executable permission to the script. |

"Samsung quality control problems."
1.5 starson by sfeldmanPros: Samsung's monitors have been failing at an alarming rate. As the company has exploded in growth, quality control has fallen flat. We've stopped buying Samsung monitors because we'd have to send them back too frequently for repair.
Cons: Quality control problems.
Summary: While Samsung honors its 3 year warranty, it's price premium is not worth it. Its quality just isn't there.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 19, 2012 SCHUMER ANNOUNCES VILLAGE OF CAPE VINCENT TO RECEIVE NEARLY$2.7 MILLION IN FEDERAL INVESTMENT TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO WATER SYSTEM
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced that the Village of Cape Vincent in Jefferson County has received a Water and Waste Disposal Loan totaling $2,695,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Rural Development program. The funding will be used to add a fourth filter to the Village's water treatment facility, and will expand the plant and allow more development and economic opportunities for residents and businesses. "Efficiently supporting our rural communities with funding for clean water and sewer repairs is pivotal for our community and our economy," said Schumer. "Funding water-quality projects in the Village of Cape Vincent will boost public health and bring infrastructure jobs to the region, which will spur local economic development." "Senator Schumer brought home a real win for Cape Vincent with the announcement of these funds today," said Tim Maloney, Mayor of Cape Vincent. "These funds will allow us to expand our treatment plant and our vision for the Cape Vincent area. With this additional filter, more water will flow into our neighboring communities, paving the way for future development." Cape Vincent will be adding a fourth filter to their water treatment plant, which currently has three. The plant built in the mid-90's serves Cape Vincent and the western regional water lines nearby. This money will allow for more development in those areas, and in Cape Vincent. Schumer stated that now the Village will have the capacity to expand the water lines and the plant, thereby expanding residential and commercial opportunities. The funding is part of the USDA Rural Development annual budget. USDA Rural Development's mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for rural residents. Rural Development fosters growth in homeownership, finances business development, and supports the creation of necessary community and technology infrastructure. ### ### |

Anna Barriball EXHIBITED AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Anna Barriball
Black Wardrobe
Tape on wardrobe
177.8 x 70 x 40 cm
Black Wardrobe is a bureau wrapped seamlessly in tape. Anna Barriball used obsessively repeated actions to press and rub the tape into the cupboard's surface so that the coating forms a second skin that reveals the dresser's most minute textures. Suffocated in black, the cupboard is almost unrecognisable as a solid form, becoming instead a monumental void connoting absence and memory. Through her intensive process, Barriball unveils a mystery in the domestic and familiar. Her work alludes to a synaesthesia of sight and touch, where senses merge and become heightened.
Anna Barriball
Pencil on paper
208.5 x 88 x 6 cm
Anna Barriball's works convey an intimacy with the overly familiar. She smothers the surfaces of everyday objects so they become seductively sinister husks of their former selves. Made by placing a large piece of paper over a door, and rubbing it with a pencil, Door is a drawing that assumes the qualities of a sculpture. Its burnished graphite surface captures every subtle detail of the original object, while the paper warps and fluxes through repetitive handling to gain a solidity of its own. Central to Barriball's practice is the time and effort involved in the making; her process formulates as poetic meditation, finding a delicate fascination in the mundane and overlooked.

Project title: Bacterial effector protein interactions in Y2H
Project description: Previously our lab has characterized an interaction between the bacterial effector protein N1eA and the human protein Sec24. We have characterized the critical portions of N1eA involved in the interaction but not the critical portions of Sec24. The current project will analyze domains of Sec24 and specific mutants to better define the domains of Sec24 involved in N1eA binding. Additionally, we have identified a second bacterial effector protein with homology to Sec24. Time permitting; the possible interaction between N1eA and this protein will be investigated.
Prerequisite: 1 term completed at McGill + CGPA of 3.0 or higher; or permission of instructor.

The Going Price for a Dempster these Days
Started By Tommy, Nov 01 2012 05:14 PM
7 replies to this topic
Posted 01 November 2012 - 05:14 PM
So I was having this conversation with a friend at work today and was curious what folks around here thought. The question (as you can probably tell) is what type of an offer do you see Dempster getting these days? I think if we could get him on the cheap, we should grab him, but I think with the limited availability on quality starting pitching, that he is going to still receive some decent offers (even with his horrible numbers from the AL).
My guess is that he will receive top offers around 3 years at $8-$10M, more likely closer to the low end of that.
As for what I'd bring him back to the Cubs for if I were the GM: probably 2 years max at $5-$7M/year.
Would love to hear what others think about this.

The whole fiasco that happened came out of him wanting to go to the West Coast so he's close to British Columbia. With Santana and Haren (most likely) gone, Anaheim seems like a pretty good fit for him. If he REALLY wants to be close to home, the Mariners make sense as well

Vanderbilt offers seventh-grader football scholarship
Vanderbilt is coming off a 9-4 record last season, a bowl victory and they are stocking recruits….no matter what grade they are in.
Maxpreps.com reports that the Commodores sent out an unofficial scholarship offer last week to 5-foot-6, 125 pound seventh-grader Jahlen Jack from Bellevue, Wash, according to the team's Twitter account. Jack plays running back and linebacker according to his highlight video, which can be seen below.
If it is any consolation, his brother is Myles Jack, who is a Class of 2013 recruit and will be attending UCLA.
More from MaxPreps:
Jack is the youngest non-quarterback to receive a scholarship offer. David Sills, a rising junior, was offered and committed to USC as a seventh grader in 2010. Earlier this spring, MaxPreps reported that seventh-grade athlete Tyreke Johnson migh be offered before this summer. Jack, who also runs track, beat him to the punch.
8th grader to be and current Jr. Wolverine Jahlen Jack receives first college offers from Vanderbilt. Class of 2018.—
