Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its new SON and Optimization Strategies: Global Service Provider Survey, for which Infonetics interviewed wireless, incumbent, and competitive operators around the world about their network optimization strategies and self-organizing network (SON) deployment plans.
"While SON is up and running in a few LTE networks around the world, we were surprised to find that some of the large incumbents we surveyed for our SON and optimization study have deployed SON as the key optimization tool in their 3G networks as well," reports Stéphane Téral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research. "Since SON was originally developed for LTE, this finding is fascinating and draws to a close the debate over whether SON could be used in legacy networks."
- The chief drivers for deploying SON are opex reduction; improvement in capacity, quality, and network performance; and small cell usage in the network
- Automatic neighbor relations (ANR) is the most deployed SON feature among respondent operators
- 80% of operators interviewed rate complexity as the #1 barrier to deploying SON
- Survey respondents view Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia Siemens Networks as the top SON vendors
- A majority of respondents consider SON an unproven and immature technology
For its new 24-page SON and optimization survey, Infonetics interviewed independent wireless, incumbent, and competitive operators in Europe, North America, and Asia about their network optimization strategies and SON deployment plans. The study provides insights into SON features, drivers, implementation barriers, technical challenges, and vendors. Operators surveyed together represent 1/3 of the world's telecom capex and carrier revenue and 16% of all mobile subscribers.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend.

The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

During his 21-game streak, the longest in the American League this year and longest White Sox streak since Carlos Lee's club record 28 in 2004, Jose is hitting .411 and he has also hit safely in 39 of his last 40 games (.377). He has reached base in 10 straight plate appearances dating back to Thursday in Detroit. It's the longest streak by a Sox player since Frank Thomas set the club record with 15 in 1997. Abreu continues to lead the major leagues in homers (31), RBI (84), slugging percentage (.639), total bases (239), is tied for the lead in extra-base hits (60) and is second in OPS (1.003). He's now hitting .310 on the season.

Quote of the Day
Ever the team player, Sale exhibited some tongue-in-cheek humor along with praise for his teammates after last night's win (via Scott Merkin, mlb.com):
"Just how we drew it up. It was a little bit of everybody. Everybody in the lineup got a hit today, which is awesome. Scoring runs early, scoring runs late and in between. This team never quit fighting, especially when I put us in a pretty good hole right there. We never quit battling and put some good at-bats together and some runs on the board."
Tomorrow's Schedule
White Sox vs. Twins at U.S. Cellular Field (1:10 p.m., CT, CSN) in the finale of the three-game series. Starters: LHP Jose Quintana (6-7, 3.15) for the Sox, RHP Kyle Gibson (9-8, 3.94) for Minnesota.

The newest inductees will be welcomed by 55 of the 66 living Hall of Famers, who have made the trip here to be part of the festivities.
Frank and Tony: The Day Before
The six inductees spoke to the media yesterday in advance of today's ceremony. Here's a sampling of comments from Frank and Tony.
Frank-ly Speaking
On the Hall of Fame experience as a whole:
"It's really very stressful. A lot goes into it. I'm overjoyed, but the nerves are there. It's just a different feeling. This is bigger than any ball game that I've every played in. Tomorrow will be magical. Just seeing the stage today, the field and thinking about all those people out there, it will really be special."
On thinking about entering the Hall during his playing days:
"You never think about the Hall of Fame. It's something you can't control. As a player you just go out and play ball."
On his speech:
"I've been doing a lot of traveling with my TV work and each night when I get back to my hotel room I add a few lines and add some names. It'll be from the heart, giving credit to the people who got me here."
On his hitting style:
"I was a hitter, not just a home run hitter. I was about scoring runs, driving in runs. I knew I had to do something to help the team every night. (Sox hitting coach) Walt Hriniak had a whole lot to do with my approach in my first eight years in Chicago and me being here in Cooperstown. It was all about discipline. You knew you had to work hard every day."
On his Dad, Frank Sr., who has passed away:
My Dad was my man. He saw something in me and it was push, push, push, all the time–he got me off that couch. Without him I wouldn't be here. I keep thinking what a big smile he would have if he were still here. He'd be running around with No. 35 on his back, that's the kind of person he was."
The World According to Tony
On the role of a manager:
"I've been with coaches in other sports and we talk about how our first responsibility is to create a frame of mind for the players. Once you have their attention you can go from there. I think I had a feel for it, but I got better and better over the years."
On his time with the Sox, notably 1983 when the club won the AL West by 20 games. It was also the team's first playoff appearance since the AL pennant-winning year of 1959.
"1983 was a magical year. We had big personalities, great leaders like Bull (Greg Luzinski) and Kooz (Jerry Koosman) and a great coaching staff."
On Frank:
"He was the type of hitter that you had to take out of the game. He hit for power, average, hit to all fields. He was a marked man."
On Harold Baines and the Hall of Fame:
"My heart aches for him. If he had only been healthy enough to get 3,000 hits."
On his managerial career with the Sox, A's and Cardinals:
"Thirty years and three great places. How lucky I've been."
Yesterday's Award Presentations
Yesterday afternoon the Hall of Fame Awards presentation took place at Doubleday Field, for years the site of exhibition games between American and National League teams. Author Roger Angell received the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for meritorious contributions to baseball writing. Former player and broadcaster Joe Garagiola, who was not in attendance, won the Hall's Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award and Texas Rangers' broadcaster Eric Nadel was honored with the Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for major contributions to baseball broadcasting.
The Parade of Legends
With thousands of fans lining the streets cheering them on, the Hall of Famers rode down Main Street last evening in trucks en route to the Museum. Here's Frank and his wife Megan waving to the crowd.
Main Street
Cooperstown's main drag was again all abuzz yesterday with activity on another bright, sunny day. In addition to the thriving businesses we mentioned yesterday that were teeming with fans, other establishments enjoying the presence of the baseball faithful the past few days are the Heroes of Baseball Wax Museum, Mickey's Place (as in Hall of Famer Mantle), Shoeless Joe's and the Batter's Up Restaurant. Again, where else can you find these places?
Among the former players signing yesterday were Pete Rose, Andre Dawson, Maury Wills, Denny McLain, Bert Campaneris, Frank Howard, John Rocker, Ryan Klesko and many of the players who signed earlier in the week that we mentioned yesterday.
Among the oddest sights yesterday on Main Street? Somebody I could swear was Babe Ruth and the craziest Harley you ever saw.
A Hall of a Party
The White Sox hosted a party for Frank and Tony last night at Cooperstown's Templeton Hall with friends and family celebrating the occasion. The Big Hurt took to the microphone upon his arrival and expressed what an honor it is to be entering the Hall. He also admitted his "knees will be knocking," but is looking forward to the big day. Tony talked emotionally about his days with the Sox and led the crowd in singing "Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Goodbye."
A Sox Fan's Delight
Museum exhibits I thought you'd like to see.
And While We're in Cooperstown…
The Sox won their third straight last night with a 7-0 whitewash of the Twins. We go for the sweep of the four-game series today. Chris Sale was in vintage form. He won his 10th game of the season against a single loss via a brilliant five-hit shutout, which included a dozen strikeouts over eight innings–and he lowered his ERA to a miniscule 1.88…Alexei Ramirez hit a two-run homer, Conor Gillaspie was 3-4 with a double two runs scored, Tyler Flowers singled and doubled and drove in a pair and Adam Eaton had two singles, two RBI and scored a run. Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a ninth-inning single. He has now recorded a hit in 34 of his last 35 games.

Look Who Was Signing Today at Brookfield Zoo
Quotes of the Day
Sale, who has always been a team-first guy, on his Cy Young Award candidacy:
"I don't really pay too much attention to any of that. I have a job to do and I have to focus on doing that and winning games. We're right in the hunt right now. These are the dog days, and you've got to bear down. Now is not the time to be thinking about yourself or some trophy or whatever."
How great has Chris Sale been? He's 9-1, 2.03, with 2 blown saves. And his only loss is a 1-0 game where he K'd 10 and BB'd none.—

American League 5, National League 3, in the 85th All-Star Game
Chris Sale pitched the fourth inning for the AL, making his third straight All-Star appearance…Alexei Ramirez entered the game in the fourth as well, replacing Derek Jeter at shortstop in one of the game's most emotional moments (pictured above). He collected a fifth-inning single in his first at bat and scored on a sac fly for the AL's fifth run. Prior to the scoring play he also exhibited some alert baserunning by getting back safely to third base when a wild pitch bounced off the backstop and ricocheted back to the catcher. Alexei reached base again on an error in the seventh and stole second base…Jose Abreu took over at first base in the sixth inning, made a fine pickup of a ball in the dirt on his first chance and flied out in the eighth in his only plate appearance.

Quote of the Day
Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer of the Tigers on Abreu, the MLB home-run leader at the break (via Dan Hayes, CSN Chicago):
"He's a difference-maker. He's such a quality at-bat. His power is unbelievable. He can take so many different pitches and just take you yard. You obviously respect what he can do. He's changed the complexion of their lineup and allows some of their other players to do other things as well. When you have a guy like that in your lineup, anchoring it, in a way it's kind of like what we have in Detroit with Miggy anchoring our lineup. He's only getting better and unfortunately that's a detriment to us."

Sox Notes of Note
Abreu's 28 homers, 48 extra-base hits and 192 total bases are the most by a first-year player before the All-Star break since the first All-Star Game was played in 1933.

Sox Shoot For Four Straight Wins With "You Know Who" on the Mound Tonight
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
Today's News
The #TargetSale Campaign: Behind the Scenes
It's been a terrific week so far for all of us with the White Sox. We've won three in a row with Chris Sale on the mound tonight and we are immersed in the excitement of the #TargetSale campaign to get Chris on the American League All-Star squad via the Final Vote.
I've been asked numerous times about our strategy in the Final Vote since we have been successful three times in the past with Scott Podsednik (2005), A.J. Pierzynski (2006) and Paul Konerko (2011). Like anything else, a lot of thought and planning is involved even though we don't get any inside info until the day the All-Star rosters are announced.
Beyond the general planning and creating a strategy, here are three key factors:
1. First and foremost is that you have to have a great player with All-Star credentials. I think most baseball fans would agree that Chris absolutely fits that criteria. He is undoubtedly one of the best pitchers in baseball, is already a two-time All-Star and is having an outstanding season.
2. You have to have a passionate and engaged fan base to get on board. And it doesn't hurt that they're social media savvy to boot. Well, I'm happy to say that the Sox have exactly those kinds of fans and it's been proven in the past with our three winners and this year with Sale leading the voting up to this point. And the fact we've once again formed an alliance with a National League club–the Washington Nationals and Anthony Rendon (#Vote Rendon)–and others like Sale's alma mater, Florida Gulf Coast University, extends our reach even further. It seems those strategies are working so far as Chris has great support in the Midwest, the greater D.C. area extending into Pennsylvania and other parts of the Northeast plus his home state of Florida.
3. You need an internal organization whose staff enjoys the challenge and is eager to display its creativity to make it happen. And if you've been following our social media you have to agree that it's obvious that my Sox colleagues, about two dozen of them, have risen to the occasion with some outstanding work–and are having fun doing it.
How did we come up with the slogan #TargetSale? It actually came from a brainstorming session among GM Rick Hahn, manager Robin Ventura and me shortly after we got the news from MLB on Sunday morning that Chris was in the Final Vote. With the All-Star Game at Target Field in Minneapolis, it just seemed like it would be something that would resonate. We then met with a larger group of Sox staffers and got more ideas, but none was better. I have to say that it really helped to have Rick and Robin as part of the process. Rick was responsible for coining the priceless "Punch A.J." slogan in '06 right after Pierzynski's altercation with the Cubs' Mike Barrett and Robin always has good ideas about these things.
Although Chris is in the lead, we can't stop now. Voting continues until tomorrow's 3:00 p.m., CT, deadline so give Chris your support at whitesox.com or mlb.com/vote or text A5 to 89269.
Tonight's Game
White Sox vs. Red Sox at Fenway Park, Boston (6:10 p.m., CT, CSN). Starters: LHP Chris Sale (8-1, 2.16) for our Sox, RHP Rubby De La Rosa (2-2, 2.51) for their Sox.
Sale is set to make his 14th start of the season and fifth on the road. He is 5-1 with a 2.10 ERA and two complete games over his last nine starts and 3-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 28 Ks over his last four. He earned the win in his last start, July 4 vs. the Mariners, as he allowed one run and six hits along wth 12 strikeouts over nine innings–his seventh career complete game. Chris is limiting left-handers to a .121 average with one extra-base hit in 2014.
Sox Starting Lineup: Eaton CF, Beckham 2B, Abreu 1B, Dunn DH, Ramirez SS, Gillaspie 3B, Viciedo RF, De Aza LF, Flowers C.

The Bruery
Until recently, finding a brewery that would fill up your growler (beer-speak for a 64-ounce jug) with a bold, full-bodied Belgium-style craft beer required a road trip to San Diego. Enter The Bruery in Placentia, where owner and brewer Patrick Rue will gladly pump up Orchard White (an unfiltered witbier scented with coriander and citrus peel), Black Orchard (black wheat beer), or whatever special brews he happens to have on tap into your awaiting super-sized growler To-Go. It's a neat trick for saving money on beer you plan to drink in the next day or two, but the beer won't stay fresh very long. If you don't have a growler, you can buy one at The Bruery, or stick with the 750 ml bottles for $8 to $11. That may sounds steep for beer, but these are higher-alcohol, almost wine-like brews that favor sipping rather than slugging. Or swing by the tasting room for a $6 tasting flight or pint of your favorite pick. 715 Dunn Way, Placentia. (714) 996-6258, thebruery.com.—Jenn Garbee

@erzie1234 u can get the charms at micheals. it is like 12 of these for 2 bucks. u can also take charms, hot glue them into bottle caps and put magnets on the back, and voila! its a super chic locker decoration. it's also a good thing to put in a advent calendar for your sibs happy black friday!
by raeshrimp on 11/23/2012 9:43:13 AM
Hey does anyone know where to get charms for that? Kind that are cheap enough but not too low in quality? And cute, like animals, food, etc.?

Will Microsoft Sell Off Its Entertainment Division? 404
from the take-it-all dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Forbes has vanished the article. Here's a copy on the author's blog. [thephoenixprinciple.com]
Forbes has already taken the story down. I get an "Oops!" with a picture of an old typewriter when I click the link.
Agree the story does not make sense. MS is sitting on a bigger pile of cash than Smaug the Dragon. They can easily afford to be in four, six, fifteen different businesses at once.
http://www.thephoenixprinciple.com/blog/2013/01/sell-microsoft-now-game-over-ballmer-loses.html [thephoenixprinciple.com]
but I've never understood why MS would choose to move into the console market
It was always Microsoft's goal to have a computer in every home [telegraph.co.uk]. The Xbox has allowed Microsoft to continue in that vein.
Betteridge's law of headlines [wikipedia.org]
The best part is that Forbes (apparently) pulled the article because (apparently) it was just too much wild speculation.
Microsoft has being playing this insane whack-a-mole strategy of jumping into any industry they see a potential new tech giant emerging. I wouldn't consider it a terrible strategy except for the way they make it so obvious that all they want to do is contest every layup; and when they've vanquished an opponent they all but quit (see how Window Mobile imploded).
Of course, that strategy only works so long as you're so flush with cash you can throw billions at all kinds of ventures and not need to worry about the outcome.
This is an article from 2011:
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-01-28/tech/30063548_1_xbox-live-money-pit-kinect [businessinsider.com]
In January of 2011 they were making 1 billion/year profit. Not too shabby. That's just for the Xbox/gaming division. The online division (whatever that includes) was still a money pit at that time but the Xbox has been turning a profit for some time now.
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

OK! So to start out, this thread is going to be about whether or not there are people who WANT to see an expansion or NOT see an expansion, ideas for an expansion, and anything else included into adding an expansion to one of the best BLIZZARD series that's out there...
So to start off I would like to say that I would LOVE to see an expansion to D3 and that also IN MY OPINION, I think changing the path of the Diablo story to more of the... "Angelic" side, would force the series to expand and push it to create whole new stories and characters that BLIZZARD could take and add to Diablo. To elaborate on "Angelic", I came across the idea a few days ago of maybe adding to the Diablo III storyline (considering how D3 has been THE Diablo game of telling the Angels side of the story and finally adding Heaven, itself, into gameplay) an expansion that maybe not just focused on the story of the Prime Evils and Hell, but took to the skys to unfold the truths of the Heavens. Basically, I would LOVE to see an expansion for D3 that tells the story of Malphael and his past (but tell his past in a more of a... text/dialog way) and where maybe the Angiris Council and the new founded "Nephalem" go to find the missing rogue Angel of Wisdom who, with not much known of what happened to him, thought to have been drove to madness but his knowledge of the universe. I say move towards the angiris council and their storyline only because this really hasn't been done yet other than in D3 and a few comics, but it didn't explain much and wasn't really about THEM.. I feel that an expansion about this side of the story could offer new options to BLIZZARD and the Diablo series and allow the game to start a whole new branch of story and gameplay and... MAYBE... WITH SOME EFFORT, bring D3 BACK to D2 standards and make this.. Eh, ok, RPG an amazing one like it was supposed to be. Also with expanding the story and taking on new regions of the world, including different places not only in Hell but in Heaven, it gives the Diablo III game a chance (like the LoD expansion of D2 did) of bringing out more classes and allowing player to get some new game experiences in (some of the classes I was thinking of were things like maybe some "Angelic" type classes, to fit the theme of course. Maybe something like the old Paladin or maybe even something like a Priest or something holy or maybe nothing holy at all but just new classes in general). Either way, I feel in my opinion, an expansion like this would be awesome and exactly what Diablo III needs especially since the Diablo story (as far as the game goes) focused more on Hell and its leaders than it did on Heaven and it's stories. I think an expansion where you search for and capture (or maybe not ;) Diablo IV question mark?) Malphael would be cool and add a lot to the game...
And that's why today I have brought this idea upon you, the community. I want to see how YOU feel about this idea, whether it be feelings towards MY idea for an expansion or just the IDEA of an expansion all together, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
...So to finally end me talking, please be nice to each other and don't troll or talk poop about other people's ideas or comments because everyone has a right to share their own opinions even if it's not YOURS. And if you guys/girls DO have arguments (since there WILL be some), at least please keep them friendly. So like I said, please expand on this, put some of your own ideas on here like maybe classes/plot and story line/enemies/bosses/or even places in world you would go to and just have fun talking about it. Can't wait to see what people have to say and their ideas.
OH! and really quick if you know anyone who plays DIablo (or did) tell them to come over and join us and to put their ideas down on this thread too. You never know, we might even get BLIZZARD's attention and finally make them make Diablo III SOMEWHAT like Diablo II was and restore the Diablo series reputation.
......Anyways.. HAVE FUN!

I'm hoping for a Greco-Roman class, like a hoplite. Storywise, these warriors could come from Skovos, Philios, or one of islands that they share with the Amazons.
Another possibility would be a vitality-based class, like a vampire.

Imperius as a new boss in some way? Perhaps he was corrupted and become a fallen Angel like Izual? Before fighting Diablo there's a cut scene when Imperius threatens our heroes to stop progressing and it was full of beef. What a shame that we couldn't actually fight him!
New quest to save Leah's soul after Diablo is defeated? I really like that NPC. Again, it was a shame that she just "vanished" like that... Back in D2 when Baal was defeated, old Cain would award you a title like "slayer" for passing normal difficulty. I would really like to see Leah taking over her uncle's job and award you something for completing the game.
From conversation we all know that Leah's dream is just as simple as having her own inn... If the expansion set is gonna have a new Act then I hope she is the main NPC in that Act!
That would be cool, they haven't really done much on the werewolf/vampire topic with Diablo like other RPG's in the same style have - I think they just don't want to be like everyone else (still would be cool though).
But as far as the roman idea that would be cool - introduce a new battle class like the old D2 Amazon, would be interesting to see the new abilities they would add with the new graphics and all.
And just read the new comment; Imperius WOULD BE COOL, but the only thing I would be concerned about is comic wise. I do have the "Sword of Justice" comics and I try all the time to look for other Diablo comics but no luck, but uh I would just be worried with conflicting stories, but that aside even if it was a battle as him as still a good angel but just a stubborn one (since in all the stories he hates mortals and is stubborn) that would be awesome and the Leah thing I do think they left it too open.... But ya, yes, new titles like the old ones: "Slayer" and "Patriarch/Matriarch" would be an awesome come back, I know it's not much "game-wise" but it did add a little special'ness to the game, nice ideas guys (or girls).
Very cool, very cool, still love to see what other people have to say. Love the interesting ideas keep 'em comin.

Father's Day: Wrapped Up
Socks might be a one size fits all present for Father's Day, but EIFF has diverse films to suit even the most discerning of dads. Treat him to a cinema trip this Sunday and tell him you've already seen the World's Greatest Dad
King of Devil's Island
Remind dad how angelic his offspring are, and show gratitude for benevolent parenting, with this dramatization of the rebellion of pupils at the Bastoy Reform School. Based on true events, the 1915 uprising against teachers' brutality was only quelled by military intervention. The meticulous period detail makes this a surefire hit if dad is a bit of history buff.
The Last Circus
A trip to the Big Top like no other. This bewildering but exquisitely shot circus of horrors recounts events of 1937 and 1973 in parallel as tragic clowns, father and son, become embroiled in gore and chaos. A thrilling but bloodthirsty future cult classic with a large dash of darkest humour that might leave father dearest a little pale-faced.
It's not all about the boys, however. Father and frustrated author (Sebastion Koch) struggles to contend with the influence of aspiring writer and livewire Emelia on his daughter Beth, played by Felicity Jones, a familiar face from last year's Best of the Fest, Soulboy. Ideal for ever-so-subtly dropping the hint that daddy's girl has her own ideas.
Angels Crest
Elizabeth McGovern, Lady Cora of Sunday night sensation, Downton Abbey, trades her corset for heavy-duty thermals in this indie production set in small town Canada. An infant is found frozen in mysterious circumstances, inciting questions and repercussions throughout the community. Not just a thoughtful depiction of provincial life, this also should provide ample knitwear fashion inspiration for the coming season.
Jack Goes Boating
Timid, rotund chauffeur – even if this is not an exact description of dad, Philip Seymour Hoffman's sensitive portrayal of Jack, set up on a blind date by friend Clyde, is a cheering tale of friendship. But matters are complicated when Clyde's own marriage starts to unravel in Hoffman's directing debut. Subtle and bittersweet, this will prove to pater that romantic comedy doesn't have to be schmaltzy and predictable.
Jane's Journey
Pioneering primatologist, conservationist and cultural icon, Dr. Jane Goodall, knowledgably navigates Lake Tanganyika. Her journey starts in Tanzania's Gombe National Park where she first observed chimpanzees David Greybeard and friends. A perfect Sunday night nature documentary for great apes (just don't let him hear you say that!).
Tickets can be purchased online, by telephone on 0131 228 2688 or in person at Filmhouse and Filmhouse@Teviot.

Found it ! So my brother Brian and our nephew Jake were in town the last few days, it was Jakes first time in NY and we were doing as much tourist things as possible. Also on the agenda was find the new September issue of "Freshly Inked Magazine" with my mug on the cover. We found it at the 3rd place we looked, a Barnes & Noble, they had a stack of five, so we decided to leave one. I don't know if you ever had your face on the cover of a magazine at a book store or a newsstand, but let me tell you its a pretty great feeling. I'm very thankful and happy to see some fruits of my labor, I'm blessed. Thanks again to Freshly Inked mag for letting me wear a suit, thanks to all my friends who always support me and wish me well, I'm nothing without you guys. It makes me proud to make my friends proud. We are all self made.
