Pandora Launches IPO
by hswchris | June 15, 2011
Pandora Radio launched an initial public offering (IPO) of company stock this morning, with some success. According to Wired's Sam Gustin, the company priced the offering at $16 per share, which would value the company at about $2.6 billion. As it turned out, the stock opened at $20. From there it went up to $26, and dropped somewhat. At the end of the day when markets closed, Pandora ended up at $17.42 per share.
Pandora Tries Funny Business
by hswchris | May 4, 2011
Listening to streaming radio site Pandora just became a laughing matter. Today the company announced that it would begin streaming comedy, based on a newly created comedy genome. The New York Times's Ben Sisario wrote that Pandora has 10,000 audio comedy tracks in its catalog from more than 700 comedians.
For the uninitiated, Pandora is a streaming radio Web site that gives the user some control over what he or she listens to. If you wanted to listen to Roy Clark, for example, you could start a station by seeding it with his name. The site will then populate the station with other similar artists.
Judge's Decision Music to Internet Radio Fans' Ears
by Jonathan Strickland | August 24, 2009
According to the Associated Press, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has come to a decision that should please fans of Internet radio services. The court presided over a case in which several subsidiaries of Sony Music Entertainment sued Launch Media Inc., a company that created a personalized Internet radio service called LAUNCHcast.
At stake were millions of dollars in royalty fees. You see, in the United States, radio stations don't have to pay artists to play their songs. Instead, radio stations pay a quarterly royalty fee in bulk to performance rights organizations, which, in turn, pay the artist. The way they figure it out is a little complicated — if you really want to know the methodology I suggest checking out How Music Royalties Work.
But Internet radio services don't follow the same rules as traditional radio. Any interactive music service has to pay individual royalties to artists every time they play the artists' songs. If the Internet radio service isn't interactive, then it has to pay a lower rate set by the Copyright Royalty Board.
Are illegal music downloads easing?
by hswchris | July 27, 2009
Brad Stone of The New York Times found some evidence that suggests just that. In an article posted Saturday, he said that people are finally starting to take notice of some subscription movie- and music-streaming sites because — get this — they just work better.
Huh. Who knew?
Yep, apparently sites like Imeem, Netflix, MySpace Music, Spotify and more are attracting people who might otherwise have used file-sharing software to download programs and songs illegally. Some of them are free, with advertising used to support them. Others are subscription-based.
Stone cites two recent studies in his article, from British researchers The Leading Question and MusicAlly, both of which said that teens 14-18 used illegal file-sharing software such as BitTorrent considerably less than they did two years ago — going from 42 percent to 26 percent over a period from December 2007 to January 2009. That was in the United Kingdom.
Victory for Internet Radio and its Fans
by hswchris | July 8, 2009
Yesterday, the news broke that the Internet radio industry has finally reached a deal with the agency that collects royalties for musicians and their labels, called SoundExchange. As Greg Sandoval reminded us in his post, this fight has been going on for more than two years and at times it looked bleak for the Internet radio sites.
Recording Industry Association of America Vice President Steve Marks said he's happy that there's an agreement because the recording industry wants to use new business models and avoid alienating partners. Well, this agreement will help, but Internet radio sites are certainly going to be paying for what they deliver to you. And you might, too.
Under the agreement, Internet radio sites have to share 25 percent of revenue or pay 0.08 cents per stream — retroactively, dating all the way back to 2006 — whichever is greater. And that rate's going to go up through 2015, to 0.14 cents.

Have you watched CNN's Latino in America?
What did you think?
I watched it, and along with some other big mouths on the bilingual webosphere, I feel it focused too narrowly on Latinos in dire straights. I would have called the two-part series "Some Latinos in America.''

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
I know sometimes players without a lot of college sacks have become great NFL pass rushers like Jason Pierre-Paul and JJ Watt, but I really need someone to explain to me how a player with a very funky body type who only had 5 sacks as a senior is supposed to be a 1st round pick.

text: Changes are on the way for the City Detention Center in downtown Corpus Christi, after a detainee managed to escape while being transported.After Saturday night's incident, authorities now realize improvements need to be made. According to Municipal Interim Director Jay Reining, who is overseeing the investigation, it is being considered a wakeup call.When something like this happens in any situation, policies and procedures tend to be re-examined. That is exactly what is happening in Corpus Christi, according to Reining. The top two issues that will be addressed are the lack of formal training for employees, and the lack of policy when it comes to transporting the detainees.The goal is to have these improvements in place within two years. Reining said the money is already there in the budget to make it happen.This all stems from what happened Saturday night, when 30-year old Joe Hernandez was arrested for drug possession and booked into the City Detention Center. Because Hernandez had felony warrants on his rap sheet, he was later transported to the Nueces County Jail.According to police, as Hernandez and the other inmates were getting out of the transport van, the repeat offender made his move. Hernandez was handcuffed, but only by one hand."One of the cuffs was attached to a chain," Reining said. "The other was attached to his wrist. Theoretically, they were all tight. The handcuffs you think are tight, they can try to maneuver the hand."Hernandez managed to pull his hand out of the cuff. According to police, just before the jail's sally port door closed shut, he slipped under it and took off.Hernandez, who police said has a long criminal history, was captured a couple hours later by one of the Corpus Christi Police Department's K-9 units.

Reducing C02 and Saving EnergyFriday, June 15th, 2007
Just finished reading a great article from the New York Times on putting energy hogs in the home on a strict low power diet!
Why should you care? Well for a start you'll save money on your electricity bill, and secondly you will help reduce C02 emissions.
I used a Kill A Watt EZ energy meter (available online for about $25) and began measuring. My PC was continuously drawing 134 watts all night.
The more devices I checked, the worse it got. My TiVo digital video recorder was sucking down about 30 watts when it was not playing or recording a show. A Comcast digital cable set-top box made by Motorola that I tested was drawing about 40 watts. My DVD player was drawing 26 watts while idle, and my audio system — which I rarely turned off — was using 47 watts. This was in addition to the numerous power adapters and chargers, each drawing 1 or 2 watts, not to mention several other devices sipping energy to keep clocks running or to be ready to turn on at the push of a button.
… Tweaking can pay off. Annually, my desktop PC is now using 73 percent less energy — saving me $119 a year and depriving the earth of 1,405 more pounds of CO2.
Source: New York Times
The writer recommends downloading an awesome little tool called C02 Saver that is a lightweight program that manages your computer's power usage when it's idle, saving energy and decreasing the demand on your power utility.
We plan on using it on our PC's within our office environment. What a great tool!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Three young men were charged Monday in the fatal campus shooting of a University of Memphis football player.
The three, all from Memphis, are now charged with murder in the perpetration of attempted aggravated robbery.
Police confirmed today that 21-year-old Taylor Bradford of Nashville was targeted for robbery.
They said he had several thousand dollars on him when he died, so the assailants did not get what they wanted.
Police have in custody 21-year-old DaeShawn Tate, 21-year-old Victor Trezevant; and 22-year-old Courtney Washington.
Bradford was shot September 30th shortly before police found him fatally wounded in his car, which had crashed into a tree outside his apartment.
He reportedly had won money at a Mississippi casino before being slain.
Police said more arrests are expected.

My son attended St Mark s during his kinder year and was fortunate to have a caring teacher. However, when he began first grade, things changed. We noticed that he was unhappy and frustrated with school. He cried many times on our way home after school because he was getting bullied and picked on by kids at the school. His teacher informed us that he was behind in class and it was clear that it was up to us to help him. We did, but there was a sense of urgency from his teacher for immediate improvement. So, we took him out of St. Mark s. He now attends a public school. His new teacher has had a remarkable positive impact on him. He has gained back his confidence and looks forward to school! St Mark s maybe a good school for some kids, but it is not the best school for all.
We are so blessed to have found St. Marks fo our 3 children this year. The teachers are wonderful and very caring while also establishing discipline and character development . It is academically challenging and offers many special classes like art, computer, spanish, music, and library weekly. They have many extra curricular activities and the staff is easily accessible. They took extra care in ensuring we made a smooth transition this year.
St. Marks has given my daughter, Jessica, not only the confidence but set her foundations of becoming an excellent student! As a single mom I couldn't ask for a better place to have my lil' one!
St. Marks Day School has offered me the best enviroment for my daughters, all the teachers are very professional and they have a wonderful program.
St. Marks has been a wonderful experience for our family. The education is outstanding and the values that are taught to the children are wonderful. I highly recommend this private school.
St. Marks has been a wonderful experience for my children. The small classes, AR program, basketball, track, Spanish and computer classes have been a Godsend for my very active children. I would recommend St. Marks to anyone looking for a Christian-based education.
My kids have been going to school here for 8 years (since they were 2!) We never intended to complete all of Elementary school here but haven't been able to leave. The curriculum is superb and my kids love everything about it. It is an incredible environment that not only nutures your children's academic growth but also their confidence. You do need to stay involved with what is going on in your childs class, but that's the case at any school! You can't go wrong here.
St. Mark's is unique in that the atmosphere is loving and caring. They really go the extra mile to make sure that each child is recognized. My children have been going here since they were 2 and my daughter is in kinder and has been reading since the middle of her pre-k year. She also knows sequential order, her odd and even numbers to 100. Her Spanish is better than mine and I have taken two years in college. The art program is also phenomenal! I am very impressed and will continue to keep my children here until money no longer allows me to!
StMark's has been such a blessing in our lives. Our daughter started prek there and this year is entering first grade. The academics are excellent and way above the public school system here. It's a great Christian environment with a high level of parent involvement. It's definitely El Paso's best kept secret.
St. Marks is a special school to us. We started our daughter there in Pre-K and she continue through to 1st grade. For 1st grade, my husband and I decided to make the transition to neighborhood public school, Mesita Elementary. Mesita had a gifted and talented dual langauage program that everyone raves about. She spent one week at Mesita and it was immediately apparent that we needed to go back to St. Marks as fast as we could. The staff is warm, loving, dedicated and they sincerely love their students. My daughter, doesn't need to be coddled, she just needs adults around her that appreciate her quirky personality. All her teachers at St. Marks have been some the best people I have ever met. It is definitely where we need to be and hopefully will continue her education... by the way, she is reading on a 3rd grade level.
This school has given my daughter confidence and most of all it focuses on a christian environment. I don't hear the ugly use of foul language and she wants to go to school which is very important.
This is the best foundation I could have ever given my child. He started out in the Early Ed. program when his Day Care closed down and he's continued through Kinder there. They have a great program that is advanced compared to other similar programs. After thinking about switching him and looking for another comparable program - I couldn't find one. They have P.E. and a great music teacher with lots of arts and crafts built into the program. By the end of Pre-K my son could write his first name (and last with an example), knew his ABCs and #s to 20. They also had a Spanish class and Computer class he went to weekly. A great beginning - he loves this school!Administration is iffy at times & lack of communication from board and leaders.
St. Mark's is a very good school. Classes are small and children are given a lot of individual instruction. St. Mark's is now enrolling children through 5th grade and plans to add 6th grade in the near future.

The 38th annual Sam McQuade Senior softball tournament wrapped up today. If you walked around the diamonds this weekend and talked to anyone, you would soon realize every team has a story. Alyssa Marino spoke with one team who is missing a player this year and doing everything they can to keep the memory of Candace Nagel alive.
"She was diagnosed in late October 2012 with a benine, tennis-ball-sized brain tumor. Her surgery was successful but sometime during the night she was found unresponsive and was put on life support. So we had to make the difficult decision to let her go." says Candace's sister, Tiffany Guthmiller. "She was 43." "Candace had a boy, Dawson," says Rebecca Ternis, long-time friend of Candace. "We've had trouble figuring out how long we've been playing softball together because it's been so long. I think about 20 years.""She looked forward to this every year." "It's the first one without her. There's a hole. A really big hole.""She was considered one of the best pitchers in the state.""We keep her glove in our dugout. Just trying to do everything we can to keep her memory alive. Candace was an amazing pitcher and a fierce competitor.""She was always pulling pranks on everybody. Yelling at us in the outfield if we weren't catching the ball.""She was so much fun. we would not see each other during the months of winter and then when softball started again it was all hugs like we never left." says Jen Eaton, friend of Candace."We don't just play softball to win games, we really became a family. We raised our families together.""We do now have an angel watching over us.""She's definitely here. We're wearing #19 on our sleeves. Trying to keep her here as much as we can.""it's hard. I look around looking for her. But I know she's with us.""We're thinking about her all the time.""I'm doing everything I can to keep her memory alive. I promised her."
After a few wins on Friday night, their team ended up getting eliminated from the tournament on Saturday night with a 19-13 loss to Bismarck Gold and Silver.

Gauguin lives and paints in Tahiti, but it is not the idyllic life he envisioned. Expecting to live frugally, he quickly discovers that imported art supplies are very expensive. The natives he idealized and expected to befriend are happy to accept his gifts (which also cost money) to model for Gauguin, but they don't accept him. There are no buyers in Tahiti, and his name is fading into obscurity back in Paris. Gauguin's health suffers terribly.
On December 8, he sends eight of his Tahitian paintings to Copenhagen, where the long-suffering Mette has gotten him into an exhibition.
The Copenhagen show is a success, resulting in some sales and much publicity for Gauguin in Scandinavian and German collecting circles. Gauguin is not impressed, however, because Paris is not impressed. He becomes convinced that he must return triumphantly to Paris or give up painting altogether.
With the last of his funds, Paul Gauguin sails from Papeete in June. He arrives in Marseilles in very poor health on August 30. He then goes to Paris.
Despite the hardships of Tahiti, Gauguin had managed to paint over 40 canvases in two years. Edgar Degas appreciates these new works, and convinces the art dealer Durand-Ruel to mount a one-man show of the Tahitian paintings in his gallery.
Though many of the paintings will come to be acknowleged as masterpieces, no one knows what to make of them or their Tahitian titles in November of 1893. Thirty-three of 44 fail to sell.
Gauguin realizes that his glory days in Paris are forever behind him. He paints little but affects an ever more flamboyant public persona. He lives in Pont Aven and Le Pouldu where, over the summer, he is badly beaten after getting into a fight with a group of sailors. While he recovers in the hospital, his young mistress, Anna the Javanese, returns to his Paris studio, steals everything of value and disappears.
By September, Gauguin decides that he is leaving France for good to return to Tahiti, and begins making plans.
In February, Gauguin holds another sale at the Hôtel Drouot to finance his return to Tahiti. It is not well attended, although Degas buys a few pieces in a show of support. Dealer Ambroise Vollard, who also made some purchases, expresses interest in representing Gauguin in Paris. The artist, however, makes no firm committment before sailing.
Gauguin is back in Papeete by September. He rents land in Punaauia and begins constructing a house with a large studio. However, his health again takes a turn for the worse. He is admitted to the hospital and is quickly running out of money.
While still painting, Gauguin supports himself in Tahiti by working for the Office of Public Works and the Land Registry. Back in Paris, Ambroise Vollard is doing a steady business with Gauguin works, although he is selling them at bargain prices.
In November, Vollard holds a Gauguin exhibition consisting of the leftover Durand-Ruel canvases, some earlier paintings, ceramic pieces and wooden sculptures.
Gauguin's daughter Aline dies of pneumonia in January, and he receives the news in April. Gauguin, who had spent about seven days with Aline over the past decade, blames Mette and sends her a series of accusatory, condemning letters.
In May, the land he had rented is being sold, so he abandons the house he was building and buys another nearby. Over the summer, plagued by financial worries and increasingly bad health, he begins to fixate on Aline's death.
Gauguin claims to have attempted suicide by drinking arsenic before the end of the year, an event that roughly coincides with his execution of the monumental painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?
Gauguin leaves Tahiti because he finds that life is becoming too expensive. He sells his house and moves just under 1,000 miles northeast to the French Marquesas. He settles on Hiva Oa, the second largest of the islands there. The Marquesans, who have a history of physical beauty and cannibalism, are more welcoming of the artist than the Tahitians had been.
Gauguin's son, Clovis, died the previous year in Copenhagen from blood poisoning following a surgical procedure. Gauguin has also left an illegitimate son, Emile (1899-1980), behind in Tahiti.
Gauguin spends his last years in somewhat more comfortable financial and emotional circumstances. He will never see his family again, and has stopped caring about his reputation as an artist. This, of course, means that his work begins to sell again back in Paris. He paints, but also has a renewed interest in sculpting.
His last companion is a teenaged girl named Marie-Rose Vaeoho, who bears him a daughter in September of 1902.
Bad health, including eczema, syphilis, a heart condition, the malaria he contracted in the Caribbean, rotting teeth and a liver ruined by years of heavy drinking, finally catches up with Gauguin. He dies May 8, 1903 on Hiva Oa. He is interred in Calvary Cemetery there, though is denied a Christian burial.
News of his death will not reach Copenhagen or Paris until August.

WASHINGTON, July 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, WakeUpWalMart.com, as reported by the New York Times, revealed a new internal document which detailed Wal-Mart's recent changes to the company's shoplifting policies.
The new changes abandon Sam Walton's policy of 'zero- tolerance,' in favor of a new policy which tells workers not to stop shoplifters for items under $25. The internal Wal-Mart policy document was given to WakeUpWalmart.com by a former Wal- Mart worker who is deeply concerned with the negative effect this policy will have on other Wal-Mart workers, the company, and the community.
According to the internal Wal-Mart document, the new shoplifting policy has changed from "Shoplifter Apprehensions" to "Investigation and Detention of Shoplifters." In particular, the new shoplifting document explains to Wal-Mart workers that "the guidelines for prosecution of shoplifters have changed: the retail value of the merchandise recovered must exceed $25, and the suspected shoplifter must be at or between the ages of 18 and 65."
The change in shoplifting policy is a dramatic departure from Sam Walton's policies. Sam Walton believed shoplifting was "one of the biggest enemies of profitability in the retail business," and even linked employee bonuses to reducing the shrinkage in each Wal-Mart store.
"Wal-Mart has truly forgotten where it came from. Instead of valuing workers, Wal-Mart is brutally restructuring the company by cutting hours for hundreds of thousands of loyal employees which is negatively impacting customer service and destroying worker morale. Now, Wal-Mart has gone one step further. Instead of addressing the serious issue of crime at Wal-Mart stores, Wal- Mart is abandoning Sam Walton's zero tolerance and is now letting some shoplifters go," said Paul Blank, campaign director for WakeUpWalMart.com.
The shift in Wal-Mart's shoplifting policy follows widespread reports from Wal-Mart workers, many in the Loss Prevention Division, who have witnessed deep cuts, scheduling changes, and other restructuring at Wal-Mart stores. In fact, as reported in the New York Times, J.P. Suarez, Wal-Mart's Loss Prevention director admits the company is making these changes as a cost- saving measure. As Suarez states "it was no longer efficient to prosecute petty shoplifters, 'If I have somebody being paid $12 an hour processing a $5 theft, I have just lost money'," he said. "I have also lost the time to catch somebody stealing $100 or an organized group stealing $3,000."
Wal-Mart's change in shoplifting policy also follows the well- publicized release by WakeUpWalMart.com of a study of police call incidents at Wal-Mart stores. The study, entitled "Is Wal-Mart Safe?" analyzed the official 2004 police incident reports (i.e. calls for police service) at 551 Wal-Mart store locations. According to the study, based on the number of reported police incidents for the sample, it is estimated police responded to nearly 1 million police incidents at Wal-Mart in 2004 costing taxpayers $77 million annually.
WakeUpWalMart.com is a national grassroots movement of 245,000 Americans who have joined together to change Wal-Mart into a responsible and moral corporation. Web: http://www.WakeUpWalMart.com

5. Learn to analyze data.
Cyber security pros are masters at finding needles in haystacks. They need to deal with huge volumes of data gathered by security devices and find anomalies that indicate security breaches are occurring.
"One area where we see a skill gap is in general log monitoring," Sartin says. "Everyone seems to have someone who is responsible for monitoring logs, but these people don't have enough experience. They look at endless amounts of data, and they don't find the evidence of the SQL injection," which is the most common type of security breach.
IT professionals need to brush up on their ability to analyze log monitoring data and find important trends.
"Cyber security experts need to understand and analyze the trends in the log data to find anomalies and other signs of security breaches," Braun says. "They need to understand how data comes in and leaves an organization and how it should be handled. They need to understand how partner organizations work and competitive organizations work, so they're in the best position to identify when something is malicious or a threat."

News: Young Jeezy's Alleged Ex-Boot Camp Pal Wants His Money, Snowman Melts $5 Mil Accusations
Sunday, Feb 17, 2013 8:44PM
Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy has reportedly responded to claims of an alleged former associate wanting millions of dollars in compensation for helping spark his platinum-selling music career.
According to reports, plaintiff Ellerbee Demetrius claims he was instrumental in Jeezy blowing up.
Young Jeezy is a rap superstar ... so when some guy in Georgia sued him for MILLIONS -- claiming he's entitled to half Jeezy's budding empire -- the rapper had four words ... WHAT YOU TALKIN' BOUT???? Jeezy was sued last year for $5 million by a man named Ellerbee Demetrius, who claimed he helped make Jeezy's career and is now owed money from at least 4 of his albums, including "The Inspiration" and "The Recession" ... both of which went platinum. Ellerbee claims he has been best buds with Jeezy since 1995 and after meeting him at boot camp, the two formed a couple of record companies together, released a few mix-tapes, and spent their time nurturing Jeezy's career. (TMZ)
Instead of ignoring the allegations, Jeezy has taken the legal route with his response.
Not only that, Ellerbee says when Jeezy hit the big time with Def Jam, he executive produced those studio albums. The problem ... Jeezy says Ellerbee is FULL OF S**T. In fact, in recently filed legal docs ... Jeezy denies being Ellerbee's best friend (sad), denies forming ANY music companies with him -- and says he 100% NEVER entered into any agreements (written or oral) to share HALF his profits. The case is still pending. (TMZ)
Former Jeezy affiliate Freddie Gibbs recently talked about leaving the "Snowman's" Corporate Thugs Entertainment label.
"I can't really say it was amicable. I could just say that we agreed to disagree. We definitely disagreed. The guy moves in a different way that I move, and I just wanted to branch out and do my own thing. I felt like I was wasting time pushing someone else's brand when I could push my own and do my own thing. Because that's was what he was concerned with, pushing Jeezy. So I gotta be concerned with pushing Gibbs." ("The Morning Riot")
Jeezy confirmed Freddie's exit in mid-December despite handfuls of collaborations together.
"Freddie is a talented artist and I decided that it's time to press reset on my career and business ventures," said Jeezy in a statement. "I have no doubt that Freddie will go on to be everything I believe he can be, and I wish him the best in his career." (Rap-Up)

Dear TEX-2010,
Thank you for visiting the Daily Norseman. It was fun, albeit somewhat irritating, to have you join us for Cowboy's week. We beat your team - that's in the past now. Yes, we are having some fun laughing at some of the Cowboy's players who are trying to distract others by pointing at the last TD we scored. We think it's silly, and petty, and lame. So we laugh, and we laugh, and we laugh. It is now Saints week. We've moved on past the Cowboys and our attention is nearly, squarely, on New Orleans...
I see you are still hanging around and posting trite, irritating posts, baiting us to come down to your level. Please stop.
If you would like to bring intelligent conversation to the posts on our site by both Vikings and Saints fans, please do - but stop with the tripe.
I challenge Vikings and Saints fans to NOT reply to you unless you are adding quality to the discussion.
Please feel free to fill this TEX-2010 FANPOST with all the tripe you feel is necessary.
Thank you.

Twitter and the App Update debacle.
I have a criticism of Apple's App Store, or at least the way some developers are using it. It's not a new criticism, but one that has been exemplified by the latest Twitter app update.
The BackgroundI'm a long-time Twitter user. I primarily access the service from my iPad, and my client of choice since its acquisition has been the official Twitter application. Before that, I used Tweetie, it's predecessor.
I know a lot of people didn't like the visually dense approach of this app, with overlapping sliding panels, but I did. I've tried the alternatives, but they have never matched up to my expectations.
The ProblemOvernight, Twitter's latest update to their app, Version 5.0, arrived on the Apple App Store. Wait, no, that is not the problem. The updated app has completely changed its iPad interface. The sliding panels are gone, replaced with single lists. The visual style and information density of the old app are gone.
It's a totally different app.
This is Twitter as it was yesterday:
Here's how Rene Ritchie from iMore.com describes this new Twitter app:
"To use Apple's term, this is the smartphone app stretched out to tablet size. It doesn't make use of the additional size of the iPad's screen. It just stretches and spaces to fill it."
It doesn't even have a search button on the side anymore!
That's still not the problem. I think it's great that there is a new Twitter client available. What's not so great is that this new app wants to replace my preferred Twitter client. The company have decided to push this totally different, feature-stripped app to users of its old app. To do this, they released it under the guise of an 'update'. It really isn't. It's a different app. A worse app.
This is an app that I don't want. But it is going to replace the one I do want unless I diligently download updates one-by-one, avoiding the update button beside the Twitter app for the rest of my days.
It's not the first time this has annoyed me. Several months back, Amazon replaced their Kindle App, shifting from an attractive in-book menu system to something that is, frankly, ugly. That time, I'd already pressed the "Update All" button before I realised what they'd done.
The SolutionIt's simple. Developers should stop conflating app redesigns with app updates. Release a new app and call it 'Twitter 5' or 'Twitter 2012' and leave the old app alone. Or if it's a matter of brand identity, deprecate the old version to 'Twitter Classic', drop support for it, but keep it in the App Store for people who prefer it.
It doesn't look like this is going to happen any time soon, particularly when the developer might have an ulterior motive for pushing people onto their new app, such as making it less attractive in the hope that people will use their web-based, link-tracking service instead.
So I would like to see Apple implement a new rule for their App Store, one that disallows developers from pushing out feature-crippled new apps under the guise of 'updates', or at least forces them to make previous versions available.
Anybody else feel the same?
(Apologies for formatting issues, The Verge is giving me hell here!)

Jeffrey Bilhuber: Past Perfect
When decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber discovered a storied, 17th-century house on Long Island, it was love at first sight. Hamish Bowles savors its glorious revival.
"I already knew before I flung the door open that the house would be mine," recalls decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber of the moment he arrived at Hay Fever, a seventeenth-century house that sits on a commanding knoll in a quaint village on Long Island's North Shore. Bilhuber's mission was to find a country house for himself and his newborn son, Christoph, where they could create the sorts of memories of family and childhood that he cherished.
"I had a laundry list of items I needed to satisfy," recalls Bilhuber, whose Manhattan apartment is a study in urbane glamour. "It absolutely had to be less than an hour's drive from New York. The train had to be accessible, and I wanted it to be on the village green. There are all sorts of seductions—in Kent, in East Hampton—but I just couldn't go there. I had these cinematic images of being on the side of the road, with the hood up and steam coming out, a flat tire, a screaming baby, and diapers spilling out of the window!"
Bilhuber's beloved sea-breezed Nantucket, the apotheosis of brisk Yankee charm and a place that he had long considered his spiritual home, was even more unrealistic. At one point, Bilhuber owned Rose Cottage there, an enchanting shingle dollhouse garlanded with tumbling roses and so much photographed that it has become an emblem of the island. But Nantucket's magical "sense of innocence lost and innocence found" was something he was intent on rediscovering closer to home.
And so his mind turned to thoughts of verdant towns like Huntington and Douglaston on Long Island's North Shore, where he had grown up. "I remembered all of this coastline on the Long Island Sound, where we used to sail in our wonderful blue-nosed schooner, the Shangri-La," he says. "Oyster Bay and Locust Valley and Muttontown—these were some of my fondest memories, those smells of the salt air and the tar."
Bilhuber's search began and ended with Hay Fever. On that first journey to visit the house, he recalls, "not only did the beauty start unfurling but memories started flooding back." Shaded by stately beech trees and embowered in dogwood and massy thickets of lilac and rhododendron, the mansion was romantically aspic-pickled. It was also near-derelict. Nevertheless, says Bilhuber, he saw at once that "it's a very sophisticated, very smart, enlightened, intelligent, stately house. We were coming off a period of great monetary flushness," he adds, "and it was increasingly vacuous. The houses got bigger, but none of them got any better. It was just the right time to find a house like this and to breathe life into it."
The renovation was practically archaeological. Every element—floorboards, bathtubs, tiles—was carefully removed so that the infrastructure could be fortified. Fortuitously, Bilhuber's contractor and architect were filing renovation plans in the local offices at the same time as someone else was filing plans to raze a sister house of the same period nearby, and Bilhuber was able to use salvaged elements from this manse—from eighteenth-century banisters to a nineteenth-century bathroom cupboard.
Fatherhood has fired Bilhuber with a passion for his family's genealogy (he decided to become a single parent in 2007). The Bilhubers hail from Bad Urach, an improbably pretty German village outside Stuttgart where the family built a handsome half-timbered stucco house that sits proudly in the town's main square. Bilhuber's son is named for Johann Christoph Bilhuber, his great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, who was the dean of the Lutheran church in the region. The portrait of this dour and well-fed burgher had been in Bilhuber's family until the last generation. A chance call from a friend noticing the unusual surname alerted Bilhuber to the fact that it had, miraculously, resurfaced on eBay. Johann Christoph now casts his unforgiving gaze across the living room's antic decor.
"When Christoph was born, I asked my family for any kind of touchstones to our own history," says Bilhuber, whose mother found a silhouette portrait of Johann Christoph's daughter Christina Regina, which now hangs nearby. Bilhuber also framed the delightful christening robes of his father, Henry Rudolph, and his twin brother, Ernest Paul, and they hang above an invitingly downy sofa in the living room.
"I'm not sure how many other houses could have given me such a wonderful stage to find out more about my family," says Bilhuber. "I thought about all my ancestors when I thought about this house." He relishes the house's connection to its community, a history that has been carefully recorded and guarded through the centuries (the house is on the National Register of Historic Places).
The original structure, a modest one-story dwelling, is said to have been built by a Captain John Underhill in 1668 and was slowly aggrandized through the subsequent centuries. In the 1840s Lott Cornelius, a Quaker, established an innovative private boys' school here, but the house was in perilous condition when the Gatsby-era William Jay Robinsons, emblematic of what the local newspaper dubbed the "Modern Rich," took on the project.
Jane Robinson, née Teller, was an antiques collector and dealer with an interest in reviving Colonial handcrafts (her 1799 stone house on East Sixty-first Street in Manhattan was eventually acquired by the Colonial Dames of America and became the Abigail Adams Smith Museum). She moved her collections to the Long Island house, which she renovated in picturesque ersatz eighteenth-century style and transformed into a museum and restaurant—the Stage Coach Inn, named after the New York-to-Oyster Bay stage. By the forties, however, the bank owned the house, and it was threatened with demolition. This time, the formidable Edith Hay Wyckoff—her father had renamed the house Hay Fever—stepped into the breach.
The playful christening of the house evokes the giddy era of Noël Coward, whose own Hay Fever, a sprightly 1924 comedy about the dysfunctional Bliss family, is set in an English country manse during a weekend house party that swiftly unravels. The lovably dotty Blisses would have felt rather at home chez Bilhuber, who has decorated his house as an antebellum Anglophile hostess might have done, layering family treasures and keepsakes with antiques that resonate with the various generations and eras the house has known.
In the master bedroom, for instance, he has created the illusion of a four-poster bed, hanging magnificent swags of fringed and tasseled crimson linen and curtains from the ceiling in a gloriously theatrical evocation of a late-seventeenth-century state bed such as Johann Christoph might have known. And while Bilhuber consulted with the curators of Monticello and Mount Vernon on historically correct paint colors and formulas, the living room is pure Bliss. Here the wide floorboards are painted black, a classic Greek Revival detail that becomes a foil to the pyrotechnics of Bilhuber's decorative scheme. "I think of the outside of this house as almost a sepia, black-and-white image, and then when you come in it's Technicolor!" he exults.
The walls are the crisp green of a Granny Smith apple, and the chairs and sofas are covered in a deliriously overscale chinoiserie chintz, or in jagged hits of Prussian blue and purple. At his upholsterer's, Bilhuber extracted the most old-fashioned forms from a tumbled pile of long-unused wooden carcasses. Now they are padded plump as a farmyard of prize hens, tufted and skirted and protected with mull antimacassars. The Napoleon III milky-blue opaline vases grouped around the room once belonged to D. D. Ryan (the legendary tastemaker who worked with Diana Vreeland and Halston and was a formative influence on Bilhuber), and there are silhouettes held by ribbon bows, ormolu and crystal lusters, papier-mâché, tole, and curtain pelmets weighted with lemon-drop glass bobble fringe.
Upstairs, in the charming bedrooms (each named for a Revolutionary War general), there are pretty Victorian painted chests of drawers and curlicued brass beds found at junk shops in the Hamptons, victims of modernizing refreshments from other estates that now seem perfectly at home. Christoph's splendid playroom was carved from four attic bedrooms, and its walls are hung with Edith Hay Wyckoff's delightfully naive 1950s cityscapes.
The Jazz Age architect Maurice Fatio, better known for the exquisite Vogue Regency pavilions he created in Palm Beach for stylish clients in the 1920s, oversaw the connection of the property's outbuildings to the main structure of the house. This created a U-shape that once harbored the car court and that the distinguished landscape architect Nancy Goslee Power has now transformed into a greensward. Its paths crackle underfoot; they are formed from seashells gleaned from Long Island Sound. More shells from Narragansett Beach in Rhode Island form the driveway that now sweeps to the formal front of the house; underfoot or -wheel they conjure the evocative salt smell of the nearby sea.
Standing barefoot on the courtyard lawn in the sputtering rain one spring afternoon, Bilhuber looked up through the dappled shade of the immemorial beech trees and at his house's white high shingle walls, punctuated with deep green shutters. "I just have to pinch myself every time I come here," he says. "It became exactly what my expectations were, a house that a family feels immediately responsive to; the day after we arrived, Christoph could navigate his way around it. In the same way I can connect to Douglaston and to Huntington, and my father connects to Urach and Stuttgart. We all bring these memories that stay with us forever."

Is your pet food healthy, or does it just say it is? The only way to know for sure is to read, and understand, the label. BLUE is proud of what's on their labels (and in their foods) - and equally as proud of what's not. And the reason is clear when you learn how to use the label to compare various dog and cat foods.
Why is the first ingredient so important? Because all pet food manufactures are required to list the ingredients of their food in order of weight. So, you would expect the first ingredient in any well-known dog or cat food brand to be meat, right? With BLUE, that's always true. Look at a BLUE label and you will see the first ingredient is always real deboned chicken, fish, or lamb. (You can easily find big-name, conventional dog food or cat food with ground yellow corn as the first ingredient! Yellow corn has very little nutritional value and has been linked to allergies in some dogs. You'll never see that with BLUE.)
If you review the first 10 ingredients on a pet food label, you will have a pretty good idea of the formula's overall quality. Look for real meat, whole grains, vegetables or even fruit. You don't want to see ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, or other lower-quality ingredients - and you sure don't want to see them right up front! Look at the BLUE label for your dog or cat. BLUE thinks you'll like what you see.
Some brands define their ingredients in several different ways - for example, listing corn meal, corn gluten, and corn bran - so "corn" is spread throughout the label. If you combined all the "corn" ingredients, it could easily become the number one ingredient. Wouldn't you rather your best friend ate a meal that consisted mainly of chicken, fish or lamb?
Yes, the top-10 ingredients are the most important, but do read the entire label. Many times, you'll find any artificial flavors, preservatives or colorings listed towards the end.
In order to feed your dog or cat a healthy, well-balanced meal, what ingredients do you want to see in that all-important first 10 on the list?
Many traditional dog food and cat food manufacturers will plan their recipes around ingredients that are not the highest quality. What don't you want to see?
With so many brands calling themselves "healthy," "natural," or "holistic," how do you know which brand is really best for your dog or cat? As soon as you have the chance, compare the BLUE label to any other brand and see the difference. Once you really understand pet food labels, it's easy to see which food will make a healthy difference for your four-legged family member!

Another gray morning, another day of sleeping in until 9:00 a.m. This morning, though, there was a road crew doing repairs on Indiana Avenue right outside my window, which meant I was periodically awakened for a couple of hours before I climbed out of the cot. I'm sure the ladies and gents tearing up the road were wondering why there was a person napping in the Vonnegut Library's front display.
I received a visit from my art director, Jenifer Saulovic, and my special projects editor, Sarah Hann, today. They came down to work with me in the window to finalize covers for the Nov/Dec issues of Turtle and Jack and Jill. (As an aside, both magazines will be available at Barnes & Noble in mid November, marking the first time ever that those titles have been on the newsstand! We're really excited about that, so please pick up a copy when you see them!)
In between working on the mags, I met even more cool visitors to the library. One woman came in and told me that she knew absolutely nothing about Kurt Vonnegut, but that she just wanted to come in and thank me for raising awareness of book banning. That made my day. In the afternoon, Jim Poyser from NUVO stopped in to chat about life, book banning, clean energy, and the end of the world. He also took some photos. By the end of our conversation, Jim had convinced me to go to IPL's website and request the Green Power option. You can do the same here. Finally, two more students from Ms. Vanlandingham's English class, Olivia Rusk and Katie Getman, came by to chat. We had a good time discussing censorship and taking dorky photos.
As an aside, I just want to express again how amazed and grateful I am for the level of support I've been getting this week. When you agree to do something kind of out of the ordinary like this, you never know how it will go over. The worst thing would have been if this stunt had been met with apathy, shrugged off as the wasted effort of some crazy dude. Instead, people seem genuinely interested and engaged by Banned Books Week, which pleases me to no end. Thanks, everybody!
As for the evening's entertainment, bestselling YA author Sarah Ockler Skyped in to an appreciative crowd to read from her own novel, Twenty Boy Summer, which was banned at the same Missouri high school and at the same time as Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. Along with reading from her book, Sarah took the time to discuss how she felt about having her work branded as inappropriate for its intended audience. Although Dan Wakefield jokingly expressed envy for authors with banned books when he read Sunday night (because his own controversial novel, Going All the Way, has never been banned), Sarah assured us that she took no pleasure in the banning. In fact, the action by Republic's high school really seemed to have hurt and saddened her. She also talked about the reception she received from the people of the town when she visited its public library to read from Twenty Boy Summer—which was overwhelmingly positive! In fact, the man who had led the charge to ban her book from the school didn't even have the guts to show up and discuss the matter. Typical.
After Sarah's talk, Alex Mattingly, manager of Indy Reads Books on Mass Ave. (and a very talented writer in his own right, I might add), stepped up to read the ending of The Grapes of Wrath. I must admit that I have never read The Grapes of Wrath (oh, the shame!), but Alex's lively interpretation of the text certainly makes me want to! His Okie accent was quite good.
I haven't gotten any work done on my promised short story today, and I doubt I'll make any progress tonight either because the first presidential debate starts at 9:00. I can't miss that….
P.S. The web cam still isn't up. I guess I'm writing that off at this point. Again, I apologize. Sincerely. If the thing's up and running tomorrow some time, I'll just be pleasantly surprised.

The animals at Dade City's Wild Things zoo have made it through another cold night. Having over 300 animals, some as large as 600 pound tigers, prevents the zoo keepers from bringing them into their home.
So, head animal trainer Randy Stearns says they have come up with several ways to keep their animals protected from the frigid temperatures. Bird cages are covered to block the wind and heat lamps are used to warm up the inside. The same method is used to keep a marmoset safe from the cold. Stearns says even if it is 32 degrees outside, the temperature in the protected cage will be in the 50s.
Throughout the night, zoo staff make the rounds to check on the animals.
"We want to make sure a heat bulb doesn't go out. One of the covers don't get blown off," Stearns said.
Not all of the animals at the zoo need extra protection on cold nights. 'Mason' is a Florida native coyote. He has developed a winter coat and he snuggles with three other coyotes, just like he would do in the wild to survive the cold.
The jaguars at the zoo also use each other's body heat to stay warm. According to Stearns, the larger cats like the tigers prefer the cold weather.
"Tigers have that thick fur coat year round so this little bit cool they don't care because in their natural habitat they would be surrounded by snow," Stearns said.
Many of the enclosures have habitats that simulate what the animals would use in the wild. The black bears have a cave that keeps them protected from the cold winds. And the Florida panthers have a house that closely resembles a den.
If the temperatures get too low, some of the small or delicate animals are brought indoors.
Stearns says it's a lot of work with very little sleep but he loves his job and his animals.

On Monday the City Council unanimously passed a resolution expressing opposition to the Lubbock Central Appraisal District's fiscal year 2005 budget.
In the past, council has asked the Appraisal District to provide information on how they plan to improve customer service and better the appraisal process. They say that information has not been made available and that's why they are objecting to a budget increase for the appraisal district. Councilman Tom Martin says, "It's to show our displeasure with the continued poor operation of the county apprasial district and the way its run, or not run properly."
Councilman Martin expects the appraisal district's budget will eventually pass because other taxing entities will not show opposition.

About Nilmoni Chatterjee
NILMONI CHATTERJEE One day a few years ago, I was walking along the JuHu beach in Mumbai. It was a pleasant evening when I got a phone call from one of my friend "Take a auto directly go home. Don`t go anywhere for any reason" When I was going back home I saw the huge traffic in high way was moving slowly and silently .No one even dared to blow a horn. All around was an uncanny atmosphere. In home when I hear the news in television all channels were covering the news of terrorist attack in Taj hotel, Mumbai. Suddenly the network of my phone failed. And I was just trapped in my tiny apartment. As citizen of a democratic nation people go along thinking in the abstract that they are clothed with a vestments of rights, protected then to freedom, equality, dignity, safety and justice and transform them from a mere biological organisms into properly empowered political entities. But when people go through a special crisis the frightening knowledge of their nakedness, their exposure to a combination of physical, psychological and political threats emerged. From the beginning of the civilization politics has played an impotent role in human society .I don`t know all those mile stones in history but I can nevertheless sense the role of politics. In every era of civilization No doubt politics plays a vital driving force throughout the daily life of common people of India in the last twenty years when I developed my consciousness. In the nineties India opened up it market to the global world. All the laws those protected labour were dismantled, natural resources were privatized and when that whole process was set into motion it unleashed a kind of totalitarianism .And this wave of globalization directly hit the lower level of society. Along with this the conflict between the majority community and minority community set into motion and this put a dark shed all over the society. As I grew up in a peaceful suburb near Kolkata, I submerged in the multidimensional social crisis of the middle class society to which I also belonged. My exposure with the helpless agony of common people begins from this point. From the beginning of my art education this social crisis becomes the vital driving force of my creativity. When I did my masters I got full exposure to the below poverty level mostly among the local tribal I had opportunity to come in close contact with some of these families and experience at depth the exploration faced by them from political crisis. A dark cloud of political crisis constantly hung over the society for the past twenty years. These processes manufactured terrorism and anti-socialism. This endless story of destitution, desperation, abuse and entrapment, migration, side effect of economic and political crisis haunted my mind. Every time I feel the agony and vulnerability of common people trapped in the system my painting represents the distorted faces of society. As an artist if you feel something and cannot express it, it's like dying. So I paint. Behind each of these paintings is a complex story. Of humiliation, tormentation, depression and protest for survival. The political crisis in every grass root level of the society continuously cursing down the marginalised population. People try to resist their destruction, that resistance gives rise to a whirligig in the grassroots level of the society. Though the kind of strategy people adopts to resist the onslaught of global capital is quite often not an ideological choice, but a choice dependent on the landscape in which those battles are being fought. My painting tells about the story of those who are fighting for self determination resisting their destruction. My canvases appear as a combination of textures and expressionism. My paintings strive to convey the human condition, with all its indignities and weaknesses. THE FACES- Series 2000 , portrays psychological torment of common people of India.
