text: KUER Music Katy Perry's Career 180 By Nathan Fink • Oct 28, 2013 Cass Bird/Courtesy of the artist Katy Perry has a unique perspective with regards to pop music. You most likely know her as the sultry star responsible for hits like "I Kissed A Girl", but chances are you might not be aware that Perry is currently in phase two of her career. Her first stab at the music game was under the name Katy Hudson, singing sterilized Christian pop; it was a move that failed to garner the audiences Perry was hoping for, and she has since moved to greener, more secular pastures. Do Surprise Album Releases Work For Everyone? By Nathan Fink • Oct 21, 2013 Brad Barket/Getty Images What's the value of hype?

Deltron 3030 Brings More Interstellar Madness By Nathan Fink • Oct 5, 2013 Michael Donovan/Courtesy of the artist Thirteen years after the release of the much-celebrated concept album Deltron 3030, rapper Del Tha Funkee Homosapien has returned with producer Dan The Automator and turntablist Kid Koala for Event II, another dystopian sci-fi epic packed with nimble wordplay and head-nodding beats. Listen now at NPR music. Is Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" A Real Hit? By Nathan Fink • Oct 5, 2013 Lester Cohen/WireImage It's the number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 with a raunchy video to match, but is Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" a genuine hit? After the flash-in-the-pan popularity of songs like Bauuer's "Harlem Shake", NPR's Chris Molanphy wonders about the lasting impact of Cyrus' sound. Nostalgia 2.0: 90's Rap Release Dates By Nathan Fink • Sep 29, 2013 Jive Records More 90's nostalgia! Evan Auerbach delivers this piece for NPR's The Record, celebrating a number of dates from the 1990's that marked the release of classic hip-hop records. A random highlight: April 17, 1990, which offered the release of A Tribe Called Quest's seminal People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. 'If It Swings': An Asian-American Jazzman's Pioneering Career By Nathan Fink • Sep 28, 2013 Gabe Baltazar 83-year-old saxophonist/clarinetist Gabe Baltazar was recently profiled as part of NPR's Weekend Edition series, offering an in-depth look at one of the foremost Asian-Americans in jazz music.

So does NPR's Ann Powers, apparently, as she picks six pre-millenial artists worthy of nostalgia. From Janet Jackson to Elastica, the piece should stir some memories of neon-clad mid-90's vibes for anyone fortunate enough to have experienced the decade. Who Owns "Funkytown"? By Nathan Fink • Sep 13, 2013 Michael Ochs Archives Reporting for NPR's All Songs Considered, Joel Rose examines the turbulent history of Lipps, Inc.'s disco hit "Funkytown", an iconic track that has spawned a decades-long legal battle over the ownership of the piece.

Bermel talks to a handful of modern artists about why the label of "symphony" has become anathema to contemporary composers, and examines the complicated standing of the time-tested musical form that is the symphony. Tiny Desk Concert: Baths By Nathan Fink • Sep 5, 2013 The technicolor electronics of Baths' music can fit many molds, as evidenced by an excellent new session for NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. Baths—created and helmed by Will Wiesenfeld—performs three tracks from Obsidian, his latest album for Anticon records. Trent Reznor: 'I'm Not The Same Person I Was 20 Years Ago' By Nathan Fink • Sep 5, 2013 Baldur Bragason On the heels of Hesitation Marks, the latest album from Nine Inch Nails, front-man Trent Reznor talks with NPR Music, discussing the personal trials and decades of experience that fed into the creation of the new record.

First Listen: King Krule By Nathan Fink • Aug 21, 2013 Jamie-James Medina Archy Marshall's work as King Krule is instantly recognizable. The reason for this is Marshall's voice, a deep-throated mumble that alternates between growls and slurs but always manages to remain both enthralling and surprisingly emotive. At points, Marshall sounds more like he's chewing his words than singing them. Talented beyond his years - he began his career in music in 2010, at 16 years old - Six Feet Beneath The Moon is a powerful, confusing record that draws on jazz, punk hip-hop and blues in a dizzying variety of speeds and colors. Goodie Mob Talks Hip-Hop Maturity By Nathan Fink • Aug 21, 2013 The Chamber Group As part of NPR's Microphone Check music interview series, Atlanta hip-hop foursome Goodie Mob discuss the ideas behind their newest album, Age Against The Machine.

Even cavemen had to eat their greens: 50,000-year-old poo reveals first evidence of vegetables and nuts in the Neanderthal diet
- Scientists analysed ancient poo samples at El Salt site in southern Spain
- They studied each for metabolised versions of animal-derived cholesterol
- They also looked at phytosterol, a cholesterol-like compound in plants
- While all samples contained signs of meat, two showed traces of plants
- 'We believe Neanderthals probably ate what was available in different situations, seasons, and climates,' said researcher Ainara Sistiaga
You might think of Neanderthals as lumbering cavemen who feasted on slaughtered beasts, but new research suggests they preferred far more refined cuisine.
A study of ancient fossilised poo left behind by our distant cousins reveals they had a diet which featured vegetables and nuts.
The 50,000-year-old samples from Spain are the oldest known Neanderthal faecal matter and suggest cavemen knew the importance of a varied diet.
A study of ancient fossilised poo left behind by Neanderthals reveals they had a varied diet which featured vegetables and nuts, as well as meat
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of La Laguna in Spain used analytical techniques to find faecal biomarkers from five samples found in El Salt, southern Spain.
The scientists analysed each sample for metabolised versions of animal-derived cholesterol, as well as phytosterol, a cholesterol-like compound found in plants.
While all samples contained signs of meat consumption, two samples showed traces of plants - the first direct evidence that Neanderthals may have enjoyed omnivorous meals.
'We have passed through different phases in our interpretation of Neanderthals,' says Ainara Sistiaga, a graduate student at the University of La Laguna who led the analysis.
While all poo samples contained signs of meat consumption, two samples showed traces of plants - the first direct evidence that Neanderthals may have enjoyed an omnivorous diet
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of La Laguna in Spain used analytical techniques to find faecal biomarkers from five samples found in El Salt, southern Spain
'It's important to understand all aspects of why humanity has come to dominate the planet the way it does,' adds co-author Roger Summons, a professor of geobiology. 'A lot of that has to do with improved nutrition over time.'
Researchers recently identified plant microfossils trapped in Neanderthal teeth (pictured)
While scientists have attempted to reconstruct the Neanderthal diet before, much of the evidence has been inconclusive.
For example, researchers have analysed bone fragments for carbon and nitrogen isotopes - signs that Neanderthals may have consumed certain prey, such as pigs versus cows.
But these studies could only differentiate between protein sources - underestimating plant intake, and depicting the Neanderthal as exclusively carnivorous.
Other researchers recently found plant microfossils trapped in Neanderthal teeth - a finding that suggests the species may have led a more complex lifestyle, harvesting and cooking a variety of plants in addition to hunting prey.
However, Ms Sistiaga says it is also possible that Neanderthals didn't eat plants directly, but consumed them through the stomach contents of their prey, leaving traces of plants in their teeth.
Equally likely, she says, is another scenario: 'Sometimes in prehistoric societies, they used their teeth as tools, biting plants, among other things.
'We can't assume they were actually eating the plants based on finding microfossils in their teeth.'
The researchers believe that while Neanderthals had a mostly meat-based diet, they may have also consumed a fairly regular portion of plants, such as tubers, berries, and nuts.
'We believe Neanderthals probably ate what was available in different situations, seasons, and climates,' Ms Sistiaga added.
Skulls reveal how cavemen used teeth as a third hand
The biggest collection of ancient human fossils ever recovered from one site is causing scientists to reconsider the path of human evolution.
They reveal how Neanderthals, our sister species, developed their distinctive teeth before their brains, using them as a third hand for holding objects.
Last week, a new study added to theories that the Neanderthals evolved their characteristic looks slowly, and intermittently, over hundreds of thousands of years.
The ancient skulls, dating back 400,000 years, show Neanderthal-like features in the face and teeth, while other parts of the skulls, including the brain case, resembled those of more primitive human ancestors.
This suggests the earliest Neanderthals used their jaws in a particular way for chewing as well as for holding objects.
The discovery at the Sima de los Huesos site in Spain's Atapuerca Mountains has allowed scientists to better understand pre-human evolution during the Middle Pleistocene period - a time in which the path of hominin evolution has been controversial and fiercely debated.
Juan-Luis Arsuaga, a paleontologist at the Complutense University of Madrid, claims the findings were consistent with a 'Game of Thrones' evolutionary saga.
In this scenario communities of humans, equivalent to 'houses' in the sci-fi series, would compete for habitable areas more than 400,000 years ago.

Thank You, Other Reviewer !! ?Friday, ?August ?8, ?2014 I have been using the AT2020 for 3 months now and most of that time has been used testing this mic out. This mic is as professional as the rest. Someone let me know when you can get a reading of -75db out of an entry-level microphone. I wanted a mic that was hi output, low noise and worked for my voice. I want no more. I was also very pleased with the price and shipping time. Thanks Guitar Center and The Other Reviewer. J.S.
awesome mic, very versatile
I purchased this mic on sale for about 51 dollars and to say I got phenomenal bang for my buck would be a huge understatement. The quality this delivers is in a whole other threshold of microphone than most mics that are going to run you about 100 dollars. If you are considering a microphone to start recording music, I would definitely recommend this.
I bought one of these several years ago when they first came out. Its recording qualities for vocals were far better than several other more expensive condenser mics I have or have had. I damaged it by dropping on a concrete floor and tried to get by with using my other, supposedly better mics. I just ordered and received this new one. What a great mic, at least for my voice -- baritone/tenor, and for my other musicians, who range from soprano to alto to rich bass. I use both a standalone recorder, an old beat up but still reliable for out-of-studio quick takes Fostex MR-8HD, and a Tascam US-800 on a dual core 3Mhz PC, using Sonar X3, Reaper, Audacity, and some other tools. This mic is great for all. On the standalone, which is limited to 16-bit .wav, it compensates for some of the recorders limitations. I highly recommend this for us amateurs who want great results and appreciate bang or the buck.
I am an Audio Engineer with a suitable home recording studio with more than a couple years of experience and this mic is absolutely astounding for capturing the Kick drum! Compared to my Shure Beta 52A on my session drummers kick drum (no front port hole) this mic has given me the best drum sound ive ever had. stick it a couple feet away from the drum and make the capsule parallel to the head, and the top or bottom of the mesh surrounding the capsule with the bottom lip at the top of the drum and you get an amazingly deep and punchy sound! some compression and its perfect. Good for vocals as well! Get this mic!
When I got my AT2020, it was my first microphone, and I thought it was great. Now that I've upgraded my mic collection over the years, I still think it's great! One of the first things I noticed when I got it was how amazingly it picked up acoustic guitar. With a bit of low-cut, this thing will give you the perfect bright sound for a quickly-strummed acoustic guitar. Another place it shines is as a drum overhead, capturing the shine of the cymbals to an almost earsplitting volume. A third area it excels in is with acoustic piano. Put this microphone over the low strings of a grand piano, dial in some of the low ends, and pair it with another AT2020 over the high strings, and you've got a remarkably lifelike sound. Now with all this great stuff, you might be asking why this mic doesn't have 5 stars. Well, it's because for a beginner mic that's supposed to be versatile, it really lacks in the vocals department. You have to REALLY play with this thing to get a clear vocal sound without any unpleasant bite. Is it a great buy? Absolutely. Does it work for vocals? Well...not for a beginner.
I wanted a mic that will take whatever sound is coming out of my guitar cab and send it through the house. This mic does exactly that. It's a much more honest sound than a 57 or a Senheiser. The sky's the limit for mic's and if I was in a studio I might spend more money on one, but this mic is perfect for my live use. There's no bleed and it sounds fantastic.
I can't really say how good this AT-2020 is as of yet.I haven't had a chance to use it on a good mixer yet. Just using it in practice with my band it seems to pick up my cymbals as overheads on my drum kit way better than my Audix F9s that came with my 7pc Audix FP7 mic set. I just ordered a PreSonus 16.4.2 digital mixer which should be here tomorrow. Then I'll be able to put my 9 mics on my kit through a great board and see how theses AT-20202s really sound. I picked up 2 of these for a great price at Christmas time, but all the reviews were are saying that these mics work great in lots of different situations. So, I decided to try them out! Once I have a chance to run them through my mixer and EQ them and mix them right, then I'll know how good they really are! I gave these 4 stars because of other reviews and the fact they have given me better recordings so far. When I unboxed them I was amazed how well they look, and how professional they are built! The quality is very present as soon as you see them in person.
Back in the days when state of the art studios were bulked down with Otari analog tape decks, I owned a recording studio in the San Francisco area. Our mic selection ranged from Shure SM33 and 55's, RCA 77dx to Neumann M269c, various AKGs, Sennheisers, etc. I have to say, however, that with all the firepower we had available, I don't think anything made my wife's voice shine as well as the AT2020. I'm not saying this mic is for everyone, however, as a professional mezzo soprano opera singer who also belts jazz, this mic loves her tones. It's durable enough to handle the massive presence she can create, without sounding tinny, shrill or muddy. As a mezzo, she has more than a three octave range and the 2020 performs beautifully from her lowest, chocolate tones to the near glass-shattering highs. Every voice is different and should be evaluated individually before making a mic selection, but for our needs, the AT2020 is the perfect choice.
Good thing is you get sharpness, clarity, openness, low noise, and durable build quality. Downside is it's anemic on the lows and low-mids, has elevated upper mids, and a somewhat harsh and sibilant top end. It's hyped in the upper end of the spectrum. Therefore at worst it can make a neutral vocal sound thin, honky, harsh, and brittle. But it's nowhere as harsh and brittle as the MXL 990. The MXL V67g errs in the other direction, warm and smooth to the point of being dark and woolly. The AT2020 is great on acoustic though, really brings out the vibrance of the strings. Overall, for under a hundred, the AT2020 is a great mic, especially if you properly EQ the highs and upper mids on vocals. It's a very good mic, but not a really great mic.

New Zealand's Olympic shot put champion Valerie Adams has missed out on making the shortlist for the Laureus world sportswoman of the year award.
Adams, who won Olympic gold in London and was undefeated in 2012, was last month announced as a nominee for the award but she is not one of six athletes named today as finalists for the world's premier sports awards, following a ballot by the world's media.
With the exception of Lindsey Vonn, who won her fourth overall skiing World Cup in five years, the finalists are dominated by Summer Olympic sports.
Three Americans are short listed: Allyson Felix, who won gold medals in the 200m, 4x100m and 4x400m relays; swimming sensation Missy Franklin, who at the age of 17, won four gold medals and a bronze; and Serena Williams, who enjoyed one of her greatest years, winning Wimbledon, the US Open and Olympic gold medals in the singles and doubles, with her sister Venus.
Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the fastest woman on the planet after successfully defending her 100m Olympic title, and Britain's Jessica Ennis, who won the heptathlon gold in front of an ecstatic home crowd, complete the six finalists.
When the winners are revealed in Rio in March, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt could be celebrating his third sportsman of the year award, after he repeated his success in Beijing by winning gold medals in all three sprint events in London - 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
Up against him will be legendary swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time with a career total of 22 medals, and two Britons - Mo Farah , winner of the 5000m and 10,000m double, and Bradley Wiggins, winner of the Tour de France and the Olympic time trial.
Also nominated in the sportsman's category are FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who scored a remarkable 86 goals in 2012, and Germany's Sebastian Vettel, who won his third straight Formula One world championship.
In the team of the year category, the Spanish football team, winners in 2011, are nominated again following their European Championship victory, along with the dominant China Olympic table tennis team, the European Ryder Cup team, who beat the United States following an incredible final day fightback at Medinah, Red Bull, who won the Formula One constructors championship for a third straight year and two basketball teams: Miami Heat, who won their second NBA title; and the US Men's Olympic team, who won their 14th Olympic gold medal in London.

NSA and Cloud Encryption
The firestorm in the press, driven by the Snowden revelations, keeps growing. As the astonishing leaks get published, we discover that the USA's National Security Agency (NSA) has a full-fledged program in place, spending hundreds of millions of dollars, to tap into Internet communications and get around the encryption that protects data on the internet.
Both laymen and experts are far from calm. The scandal is both a crisis of public trust in the government, and a technical challenge for the security industry. Technology businesses are worried about the possible fall out to trust, adoption and dollar revenues.
So can we live with it, and how?
What can you trust?
The cautious assessment of experts is that the math underlying modern cryptography remains trustworthy. This is important: it means that the techniques, like AES, that underlie the encryption of data on the internet, are good ones. There are speculations to the contrary, but the main verified information is that the NSA gets around these mathematical techniques instead of breaking them directly. Several ways to get around the math:
- Steal the keys – any encryption standard is only as good as the key to the encryption; if the keys are stolen, messages can be deciphered and read
- Influence large corporations to hand over the keys used by their customer base
- Influence large corporations to code back-doors into their implementations of the math, which are then in unwitting use by companies and consumers
Do I really care?
Suppose you do have sensitive data – personal health information, financial data, intellectual property, or personal information of any kind – should you be worried?
The approach taken by the NSA can be likened to a very wide fish net. They try to tap into everything – all of the emails from everyone, all of the instant messages from everyone, all of the online phone calls from everyone, all of the data stored by everyone. After collecting as much as possible, they have software that sifts through these masses of data, and tries to find the things of real interest. This may be an email between terrorists or drug dealers.
This does mean that your personal email was caught by that wide fish net too. It was then discarded as too boring, by the software that sifts through all the data. Problem is, big government really is big, and it seems that the data collected by the NSA is finding its way to many other branches of government. Tax collectors? Local police? Some of this has already been verified (e.g. the IRS) and some of it can be speculated. The NSA may think you are boring, but does the IRS?
The economics of self-knowledge
Know thyself. If you are on a target list by the NSA (or any other big government), then you are worth their time. This means they may spend the time to hack your computers and steal your keys and your data. They may even spend the time to break into your office or home, and bug your computer. If you are on a target list by the NSA – this post is not for you. As I sarcastically suggested in a recent post, your best bet is to get a safe house in Pakistan.
For the rest of us, the key lies in breaking the economics of surveillance. The wide fish net works well, because it makes economic sense – it is very cheap to grab everyone and only later sift through the information. The key to your personal privacy is to raise the cost of grabbing your private data.
This can be achieved in a cost effective way. As mentioned above, the math behind modern encryption is still pretty good. To make use of that fact, you should use an encryption solution built specifically for the cloud, using encryption code that has been extensively reviewed by a large number of people, and you should make sure that the encryption keys are under your control.
One main reason that the NSA approach has been so scarily effective, is that your encryption keys are usually controlled and owned by big cloud providers. The NSA needs to get the keys only from them, and then it can trawl everybody.
If you take back the encryption keys – it is no longer economic for the NSA to net you, because they need to treat you as an individual. That costs too much, given that you are not really interesting for them. Fortunately cloud encryption is evolving in this direction and solutions are emerging that allow you to use the cloud while keeping control of your encryption keys.

The Internet of Things is in the early stages of mainstream deployment but it promises to unlock value and rapidly transform how organizations manage, operationalize, and monetize their assets. IoT is a complex structure of hardware, sensors, applications, analytics and devices that need to be able to communicate geographically and across all functions. Once the data is collected from numerous endpoints, the challenge then becomes converting it into actionable insight.

Contrary to mainstream media attention, the multiple possibilities of how consumer IoT will transform our everyday lives aren't the only angle of this headline-gaining trend. There's a huge opportunity for "industrial IoT" and "Smart Cities" to impact the world in the same capacity – especially during critical situations. For example, a community water dam that needs to release water can leverage embedded critical communications logic to alert the appropriate individuals, on the right device, as soon as they are needed to take action.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Apple updating its Maps with user corrections every day at 3 am EasternApple is now routinely updating its mapping database on a daily basis with user corrections submitted through the native Maps applications for iOS and OS X, it has been discovered.
Apple Maps POIs appear to be updated every day at 3 a.m., user "heyyoudvd" disclosed in a thread on Reddit. That person has been actively tracking Apple's progress with its Maps application, and they believe they have seen more updates to the mapping data in recent weeks than in the previous two years combined.
"Over the past month, Maps were being updated once a week (every Friday) for me, but now, that has improved even further," they wrote. "Over the past few days, I've noticed an update occur every single day at 3 a.m. Eastern."
For years, reporting problems in Apple's Maps application did not result in swift changes to the company's data. But now that appears to have changed, and significantly, with infrastructure in place to push out updates on a daily basis.
Those posting in the Reddit thread noted that they are seeing points of interest fixed in a prompt fashion, while various side roads and other small changes have been implemented. These changes appear to be going into place worldwide, with one user noting that they marked issues on beaches in Sydney, and the problems were addressed accordingly.
Apple Maps as seen in OS X Mavericks.
Users can report issues with Apple's Maps application on an iOS device by tapping the "i" button in the bottom right corner and selecting "Report a Problem." From there, users can notify Apple about incorrect search results, inaccurate street names, missing locations, problems with directions, and more.
Mapping issues can also be reported in OS X by selecting the main Maps menu from the Menu Bar and choosing "Report a Problem." The feature has been available since Apple brought Maps to Mavericks last year, extending tools for reporting and fixing errors to a large installed base of Mac users.
Apple's iOS Maps debuted in September of 2012 along with iOS 6, and immediately drew criticism and complaints from many users, who found inaccuracies in the location data and faulty rendering of the 3D flyover data. The ensuing controversy was so widespread that Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook was compelled to issue an apology to his customers, and even recommend alternative options.
Since then, Apple has acquired a number of mapping companies, including Embark, HopStop, Broadmap, Locationary, and earlier this month, Spotsetter.
Despite those acquisitions, Apple Maps continue to lack built-in public transit directions, including the current beta of iOS 8. One report from this month claimed that a lack of updates for Maps in iOS 8 were as a result of a "failure" of the project management team.

Educational Gaming | News
Tabula Digita reported this week that more than 3,500 students have already signed up for its nationwide educational math gaming tournament that runs now through May 2011. Signups are still available for elementary and middle school students, who will be eligible to compete for scholarship funds, electronics, and other prizes totaling more than $60,000.
The competition, co-sponsored by Intel and Dell, consists of 12 rounds of gaming lasting two weeks each and extending until May 2011. Although the tournament kicked off earlier this month, it's still open to students in grades 3 through 8, with 11 rounds of competitions remaining. The tournament is based on Tabula's DimensionU, a cross-platform learning system built around a gaming engine designed to provide an immersive and competitive learning environment in math and literacy, with additional core subjects planned for future iterations. The U Games National Scholarship Tournament specifically uses DimensionM, which offers a 3D environment in which players carry out missions by solving math problems.
DImensionU games are in use at schools serving more than 300,000 students, including schools in New York City Public Schools, Chicago Public Schools, and districts in Florida and Texas.
According to Tabula, "Scores will be computed based on game play skills but also on strategy, academic performance and an immediate 'need-to-know the math' outcome."
The top-10 elementary and middle school players from the 12 rounds will be able to attend the live final event in New York May 21, 2011. The winner in the middle school category will receive a $50,000 academic scholarship plus $1,000 in cash. The winner of the elementary category will win a $10,000 scholarship and a trip for four to Disney World. According to Tabula Digita, other awards will include iPads, iPods, gaming consoles, LCD displays, and gift cards, among additional prizes.
Students can participate in the competition by downloading the free tournament edition of DimensionU. Registration information and additional details can be found here.
