The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
Lollapalooza 2013, Day Three: 2 Chainz, Vampire Weekend, Two Door Cinema Club, the Cure and more

Electronic dance music ruled Lollapalooza Friday. On Saturday, the spotlight was largely cast on folk. But by Sunday, the star of the weekend turned out to be the weather. Aside from some slight showers and muddy patches at Chicago's Grant Park Friday, the sun was shining and temps were practically perfect for the massive music festival. Maybe Mother Nature was a big fan of this year's lineup.
She probably liked something on Sunday, a diverse day with acts ranging from seminal rock band The Cure, to Skrillex side project Dog Blood, to Vampire Weekend, to bling-sporting, party-starting rapper 2 Chainz.
Here's a look at the last day. You can also take a look at photos from the final day of Lollapalooza.

2 Chainz
It's always tough for artists to introduce new tunes at festivals. But rapper 2 Chainz found a way around the problem. All you have to do is slide in the words "I like the strippers" in the chorus. Boom. Instant sing-along.
It wasn't the only song about sex — or, for that matter, strippers — that Mr. Chainz performed in his Lollapalooza set Sunday night. There also were songs about the finer things in life, like champagne on airplanes, and having sex in a Mercedes-Benz. »Read Full Blog Post

Even if you're lucky enough to have snagged a ticket to the sold out Lollapalooza, you can't see everything. So the fest is doing what it can to get people access to a variety of shows.
Check out the above video of Friday highlights, including Nine Inch Nails, the Killers, Imagine Dragons and Icona Pop. »Read Full Blog Post
Keith Urban's fragrance Phoenix drives Ellen DeGeneres wild
Two days before Keith Urban headlines Milwaukee's biggest fall concert at the Bradley Center, the country star stopped by "Ellen" to sing, chat and promote his new fragrance Phoenix. That's right - Urban has his own fragrance. He's the new man your man can smell like.
"It's always something I've wanted to do," Urban told me in an interview last month, saying he was inspired by his father's taste in cologne. "You just smell really good, like your best self, your sexy self." (That quote didn't make the cut in the story, but there's plenty more Urban shared for a Journal Sentinel article here.)
When asked what Phoenix smelled like, Urban said it was hard to describe. But he took the opportunity on "Ellen" to show the kind of impact it has on the fairer sex. If this faux commercial is to be believed, wearing the stuff will drive women to rub their hands all over you, lick your cheek and spray you in the face with a squirt bottle. »Read Full Blog Post

In some situations, like when a party breaks out, those options just won't cut it. For times when you need to listen to your music loud and proud, you should have the Panorama Bluetooth Speaker at your disposal.

The Egyptian President, Col. Gamel Abdel Nasser, on July 26 announced the nationalisation of the Suez Canal. He told a big rally in Alexandria's Liberation Square that Egypt would use the income from the 103-mile canal to build the Aswan Dam project on the Upper Nile. The announcement was greeted by people packed in the Liberation Square with wild cheers. Col. Nasser said Egypt would build the Aswan Dam, the gigantic project for which Britain and the US recently withdrew their offers of financial aid. He declared, "The Suez Canal is an exploiting company. We shall build the high dam by restoring our rights in the canal. We shall take the income from the Suez Canal - 100 million dollars a year - and build the high dam." He said no authority or bank had the right to spend the funds of the Suez Canal Company without the authority of the Egyptian Government. All the Suez Canal Company funds were now frozen, he declared and said the Government had approved a law nationalising the company. He described the company as "a State within a State" and said, "This inadmissible state of affairs is now ended."

ASOTIN — It was No. 3 vs. No. 6 in the state's Class 2B-11 state football rankings here Friday night, not to mention first place in the Southeast 2B-11 League standings.
No. 3 Asotin and No. 6 Waitsburg-Prescott combined for 554 yards in total offense, and both teams made multiple drives into the other's red zone. But the host Panthers converted one more opportunity than did W-P and came away with the 14-7 homecoming victory.
"Both teams stepped up," Asotin coach Sal Lopez said. "Then both teams got bit by mistakes, and it evened out at the end. The Waitsburg (Prescott) kids showed a lot of tenacity, and my kids showed some at the same time. We were just fortunate that we had one extra score."
The Panther defense took away W-P's big-play passing game, and Asotin's Ben Servatius threw for 234 yards and got the ball in the end zone for the Panthers' two scores. Servatius hit 6-foot-6 Jesse Davis for a 6-yard TD in the first quarter, and he found Lucas Forsberg in the back left corner of the end zone on a 21-yard scoring pass for what proved to be the game winner with 7:51 left in the third.
"We got ourselves in situations that we're not typically in," W-P coach Jeff Bartlow said. "They didn't allow us to have big plays, and we've big-played everybody. We could run the ball because of their set up, and we did. Penalties and mistakes got us in situations where we couldn't run the ball.
"It was a great game," Bartlow continued. "It was a defensive game that we've not been in."
The Panthers started the first offensive drive at their own 36 and promptly marched, following a Servatius-to-Matt Small 28-yard pass, into the red zone at the W-P 10 in seven plays.
Hello W-P defense.
Kris Cady broke through to drop Servatius at the 15. Chance McDaniel dropped Riley Spooner for a 2-yard loss. But the Panthers rallied as Servatius hit Small to the W-P six, and on fourth down, Servatius found Davis for the touchdown.
The Panthers took advantage of a W-P encroachment penalty and Servatius ran in for the two-point conversion and an 8-0 Asotin lead with 7:29 to play in the first.
W-P's first drive ended in three plays as Small grabbed the first of three Panther interceptions on the night at the 50.
Asotin converted a fourth-and-one at the W-P 10 on the eighth play of the ensuing drive. On third-and-four at the four, Ben Kiefel stopped Spooner for a two-yard loss. On fourth-and-goal the Panthers threw a swing pass to Spooner, but Lucan Gerke dropped Spooner for a two-yard loss and W-P took over.
An 11-yard burst by Zach Bartlow got W-P some breathing room as W-P ended the quarter on the move at its own 38.
Bartlow, who ran for 131 yards on 22 carries for the game, ran off consecutive runs of 25 and 22 yards, as W-P marched into the red zone with a first down at the Panther 13.
W-P fumbled but recovered, and then came up with an incomplete pass on fourth-and-five at the Panther eight as Asotin held.
"I think the score could've been 42-40," Lopez said of the red zone opportunities. "Both teams defenses stepped up and that made life difficult for both of us."
Back came the Panthers with a drive to the W-P 18. After three incomplete passes, W-P's David Brock barged into the Panthers backfield and chased Servatius down and force a fumble. Kiefel fell on the ball and W-P took over at its own 32.
W-P then marched into the red zone, sparked by Bartlow completions of eight yards to Dustin Wooderchak, 12 yards to Jace Zuger and 15 yards to Gerke. A penalty moved the ball to the Asotin 15, but the next four plays netted only six yards and Asotin took its 8-0 lead to the intermission.
Asotin stuffed a QB sneak on fourth-and-onee at the W-P 47 to open the second half. The Panthers capitalized.
Six plays later, Servatius hit Lucas Forsberg for 21 yards and the score. W-P blocked the PAT kick, but Asotin had a 14-0 lead.
W-P drove to the Panther 21, but Dusty Lyons' interception ended the threat with 3:51 left in the third.
The Panthers failed to convert a fourth-and-two from the W-P 47 as the third quarter expired.
W-P took advantage of the short field. Bartlow ran for 32 yards and Cady added 22 yards before Bartlow culminated the drive with a 1-yard TD plunge on fourth down. James Lehr's conversion kick drew W-P to within 14-7 with 7:51 remaining in the game.
On the ensuing Asotin possession, the W-P defense held and forced a punt from the Asotin 48. The snap was high and W-P's Marco Wikman covered Servatius at his own 24.
"I never thought we were going to lose," Bartlow said. "We came down and scored and had the ball back. I thought we were going to win it."
It was not to be as Spooner picked off a errant W-P pass at his own eight and returned to his own 29 to end the last W-P threat of the night.
"We made too many mistakes to pull it off against a good team," Bartlow said. "We got down there (red zone) and couldn't put it in. We've not been in the red zone much this year because we've had so many big plays. Our red zone offense hurt us tonight."
Asotin, with the help of the only punt in the game — a 36-yard quick kick on third down — held W-P at bay over the last 4:35 to remain perfect at 8-0, 5-0.
Asotin hosts DeSales Friday.
W-P suffers its first loss and drops to 6-1, 3-1, but its playoff hopes are alive as Pomeroy visits Friday.
"The kids played their hearts out," Bartlow said. "That's all you can ask."

PCIe x1 slot obscured by graphics card
Likes # 0
Posted June 5, 2011 at 8:40AM
I have just bought a 120 GB SDD drive which runs at it's full potential in SATA 3 mode.
Unfortunately my motherboard is only SATA 2.
I want to buy one of these but I can't fit it in my motherboard because my graphics card obscures the slot.
See here
The graphics card takes up the space highlighted in red and the PCIe x1 slot I want to use is the small yellow slot.
Any way round this problem?

citadel It will work in the white slots if it's like other PCI cards
The connectors are too small for the PCI slots surely or would they still work ?
Also PCI Express is much faster than the legacy PCI interface, would usimg them not slow down the controller card ?

canarieslover:Alternative that uses PCI slot
Yes but it is mainly for RAID and I would like to get the full potential from my SSD by upgrading from the SATA 2 standard to SATA 3.
Also it isn't compatible with Windows 7 :(
Thanks anyway though ;)

Beta - I'm not sure if I have to use a PCIe x1 controller card.
I was hoping that there would be an alternative that plugs into the SATA interface but can't find one and so it looks like I will have to make do with what I've got !

re citadel

No, it won't. The connection interface is different.
However if your motherboard has a 2nd pci-e 16x slot ,you can put the adapter card in there though it'll work as the default speed of the adapter card i.e. x1.
Unfortunately it looks like your motherboard hasn't got this facility and the only option is as ßeta suggested.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. should replace its top executives because they failed to understand the politics of the financial crisis and mishandled regulators' claims of fraud against the firm, according to Richard Bove, an analyst at Rochdale Securities.
Financial institutions shouldn't be required to measure risk against a benchmark portfolio because it makes no sense, said Richard Bove, an analyst at Rochdale Securities LLC, in reaction to comments from Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit.
Citigroup Inc. , the U.S. lender emphasizing international growth, may benefit as Japan rebuilds from last week's earthquake and the Middle East rebounds from political turmoil, according to analyst Richard Bove .
MF Global Holdings Ltd.'s bankruptcy filing may prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to "rethink" the definition of systemically important firms and to expand its oversight, according to bank analyst Richard Bove.
Legislators who don't understand the banking industry and a sense of "mass hysteria" led to the passage of a financial-reform law that will hurt U.S. consumers, said Richard Bove , an analyst at Rochdale Securities.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is among firms that could gain by buying part or all of MF Global Holdings Ltd., said Richard Bove, an analyst at Rochdale Securities LLC.
SunTrust Banks Inc. , Capital One Financial Corp. and Marshall & Ilsley Corp. are among 17 banks and lenders that are potential takeover candidates, according to analyst Richard Bove .
Jefferies Group Inc. rose the most in the Standard and Poor's Midcap Financials Index after Richard Bove at Rochdale Securities LLC said the firm's role in rescuing Knight Capital Group Inc. is a reason to buy the stock.
"The expectation is that we are going to have a major M&A cycle that is going to last for four or five more years."

BlackBerry strengthens board with two wireless industry veterans
Published on Feb 8, 2013 6:17 AM
TORONTO (REUTERS) - BlackBerry named two wireless industry veterans to an expanded board of directors on Thursday, seeking to allay some investor concern around the level of industry experience it has on its board.
The smartphone maker has struggled in the last three years, bleeding market share to nimbler rivals with faster and snazzier devices.
Shareholders reelected its board nominees at the last annual meeting in Waterloo, Ontario in July. But some investors said they disapproved of the board's performance and the percentage of withheld votes for its long-time directors jumped sharply.
BlackBerry said its new board members are Mr Richard Lynch, a former long-serving executive at United States (US) wireless carrier Verizon Communications, and Mr Bert Nordberg, a former chair of Sony Mobile and one-time president and chief executive officer of Sony Ericsson.

Clearwater Compliance is pleased to announce its CEO and Founder, Bob Chaput, CISSP will speak at the National HBMA 2012 Spring Educational Conference slated for The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans April 19-21.
"The HBMA Spring 2012 Conference will focus on Business Continuity, including, among the thirteen conference sessions, topics that address Disaster Preparedness/Disaster Recovery. With significantly increased emphasis on risk management, including the explicit Contingency Plan Standard set out in the HIPAA Security Rule along with the commencement of HIPAA compliance audits," said Mr. Chaput, "this year´s theme is most timely for healthcare billing industry professionals. Clearwater Compliance has helped many health care covered entities and business associates build their contingency plans and strengthen their compliance programs through education programs, software and services. We are pleased to have the opportunity to share information and insights at this important event for healthcare billing firms who are Business Associates under the HIPAA regulations."
This outstanding program is filled with forward thinking educational sessions.

He will also participate in a Panel entitled "Surviving a Disaster: Are You Prepared?"
Paul Myers, Director of Education HBMA said "We are most pleased to have Bob´s energy and knowledge that we already know he will bring on the subject of business continuity to our audience in April."
Bob is one of the most recognized regulatory experts within the HIPAA-HITECH sector. He has been responsible for the security and protection of some of the world´s largest healthcare databases, and has founded and grown several businesses to help organizations comply with strict regulations around the security, privacy, integrity, and availability of data. Bob regularly speaks and writes on HIPAA and HITECH compliance issues, and eagerly embraced the internet as a way to educate and help a larger audience.
