Trusts are driving me nuts right now. Not because they are dropping so fast...because I want to pounce on them right now. Same with mREITs and some MLPs. If I can enter these things the right way over the next few months, I can walk away from the daily market grind for the next decade. For income, this an opportunity.
If I were to presume to know: I would say because of the ECRI "recession call" which states a 'vicious cycle' even worse than current environments.
Many commodities were thrown out the window today.
The same can be said about PER, SDT - although those prices are already have hedges fixed.
My view is China, U.S., everywhere are in total confusion. Inexpensive OTM puts were (are) available even on the most innoculous names.
I may be wrong - and I'll stand corrected if wrong - but in 2008 or 2009 I bought BUD for $30/per share. It's all about counter party risk; the Euro.
Not much info in this reply, but the markets are wicked...so I am long SPY puts; company OTM puts; and trying to avoid the worst case situation.
Jean-Marie and Francois (last week) really talk about the deflationary pressures: http://wealthtrack.com/
It's messed up. Knowing it's messed up, buy what's going up...forced liquidations. Imagine all the mutual funds that are 100% long only positions. They need to sell.
Just my 2-cents.
Todd -
Including hedges, I'm net short in my brokerage account for the time being. Most of my positions in my IRA's are so old its the house's money now, so I don't fuss with them.
The upside to me is that the crazier things get, the quicker the time-line in this mess. You know, "The flame that burns twice as bright..." I think we'll have a good idea of the end-point by the end of this quarter. Not saying we'll be there by then....but recession, depression, rebound... there will be less guessing required. -
If we are now in recession, this is the most bizarre one in history. It is a recession where the first thing people do is rush out and buy a new car. That is what the sales figures for General Motors showed this morning, up an impressive 19.8% in September. The results were even better for Volkswagen (+36%) and Chrysler (+27%).
The data suggest that corporate managers start loading up on new inventories in this recession. That is what the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) suggests, with their index up from 50.6 to 51.5 last month. Managers also hire new people in this Frankenstein of a recession. Adding up the nonfarm payrolls for the past three months, there is a substantial gain in the newly hired by the private sector. This was further confirmed by the weekly jobless figures, which delivered a blockbuster decline of 37,000 to 391,000 in their latest report, a multi month low. Only the government is still taking the ax to employment, both at the federal and the local level.
Want to know what else our new recessionary consumers do? They buy diamonds. I was doing some early Christmas shopping at Tiffany's (TIF) over the weekend, and the sales person told me that they were running out of diamonds, especially the high end kind over two carats especially favored by the wealthy. Also, When I flew into the Netjets Center in San Francisco on the way back from Las Vegas, I had never seen it so crowded. I'm talking packed with Gulfstream V's, not Cessna 152's. Not only are the rich getting richer, they are doing so at an accelerating rate.
Let me give you an alternative explanation here. A modest 2% GDP growth rate is forcing a permanent downshifting of price earnings multiples from its historic 10-22 range to a more subdued 8-16 range. Investors are happy to pay premiums for an outsized future, not the more subdued and austere one we are now facing.
That means we could see more downside before the bloodletting is over. If your assumption is that the S&P 500 delivers $100 a share in earnings in 2011, then an eight multiple takes us as low as 800 in the index on a spike down. Granted, this is an extreme view, but given the recent dismal price action, one that cannot be dismissed. Looking at the dire close today, 1,050 in the (SPX) seems to be a done deal, and perhaps $55 for the (IWM). Until then, I'll be shopping for more diamonds. -
Mad Hedge Fund Trader,
I think we have to define the recession in terms of "reality" and "textbook".
A recession has a high level of unemployment. I don't know what the true number is, but it is quite high. Is it accurate to say 1-out-of-6 Americans are on food stamps?
Tiffany's and Apple (I am a big fan of yours, so I know you know Apple) are doing extremely well.
In my mind, a significant number of U.S. adults can not find jobs; are under-employed in their skillset vs current job; many have lost home value (your SF buy/sell classic); and the country is in a fiscal mess.
By no means am I suggesting that all U.S. citizens, families are homeless and without discretionary funds. But the numbers are climbing.
Best, Todd

Not really new to the breed, but new to this site. Just got my new puppy a little over a week ago. I unfortunately lost both of my boys (gsd's) this year due to old age. Dozer passed in May at the age of 13 years and 5 months. Bear passed in November at the age of 13 years and 10 months. It's been a tough year, however getting the new pup has surely brightened my sky's so to speak. Glad I found this forum, lots of great info here. I will post pictures of my new puppy soon.

Aww, sorry to hear of your losses. It's so hard to go through, especially when it's multiple all in one year. Though, the new pup will definitely keep you on your toes and lighten the mood.
Congrats on the new puppy and welcome to the forum!

HK Gruber appointed Composer/Conductor with BBC Philharmonic
(February 2009)HK Gruber, the renowned Austrian composer is to succeed James MacMillan as the BBC Philharmonic's next Composer/Conductor, starting in September 2009. He will make his Bridgewater Hall debut in his new role with the BBC Philharmonic in February 2010.
He follows in the footsteps of the eminent Scottish composer James MacMillan who took up the post in September 2000. Before that Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, who is now Master of the Queen's Music, held the title for ten years.
The position will see Gruber conduct the BBC Philharmonic in two concert dates per season in its Bridgewater Hall series in Manchester, as well as recording his own music and that of others for Chandos Records. The BBC Philharmonic will give the UK premiere of Busking, Gruber's concerto for trumpet, accordion, banjo and string orchestra. Plans are also in progress for Gruber to conduct the Orchestra in his home city, at the Vienna Konzerthaus
Gruber will be involved in the BBC Philharmonic's learning work, specifically in the many varied communities of Salford which will be the Orchestra's new home from 2011, when the BBC's new base in the North opens there at mediacity:uk.
Commenting on the appointment Richard Wigley, General Manager of the BBC Philharmonic says: "Gruber combines a wonderful rapport with the BBC Philharmonic with a strong commitment to living and neglected twentieth century composers. We are delighted that this towering musician is joining us. The relationship with James MacMillan (and with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies before him) was very productive. Manchester, not to mention the wider orchestral world, is in for a terrific journey with Gruber and the BBC Philharmonic in the coming years."
Gruber himself adds: "Everybody dreams from time to time that a fairy godmother will come and offer you a Rolls Royce. For me, I am absolutely happy that the BBC Philharmonic is now my Rolls Royce. The possibilities are limitless and I'm sure we will make many musical discoveries together in the coming years."
Born in 1943, HK Gruber (or Nali as he is often known) is the composer of the celebrated work Frankenstein!! which is based on gruesome children's rhymes by H.C. Artmann. It was premiered in Liverpool in 1978 under a young Sir Simon Rattle and has gone on to receive hundreds of acclaimed performances worldwide.
Gruber and the BBC Philharmonic have worked together many times before. Highlights include their recording of his most famous composition Frankenstein!! for Chandos in 2005, which was paired with Perpetuum Mobile, Charivari and Dancing in the Dark. The BBC Philharmonic also gave the UK premiere of Dancing in the Dark at the BBC Proms in 2003.
Gruber's music reflects the great Viennese tradition, both classical and popular, through a contemporary lens and it draws on the cabaret style of the Weimar Republic, often combined with irreverent black humour. He has appeared at many international festivals as composer, conductor, chansonnier and music theatre performer.
Ends: release date 5 February 2009
For further information about the new appointment or pictures contact:
Susan Mackean, BBC Philharmonic on 07931 520 437 email@example.com or Amanda Dorr, Marketing Manager on 0161 244 4001 firstname.lastname@example.com

David Allenby on 020 7054 7253 firstname.lastname@example.com or
Antonio De Stefano on 020 7054 7254 firstname.lastname@example.com
The BBC Philharmonic is based in Manchester and is one of the BBC's five orchestras. Most of its concerts are broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and it appears regularly at the BBC Proms. Gianandrea Noseda is the Orchestra's Chief Conductor. More information can be found by visiting the BBC Philharmonic's website:

StillSecure Safe Access is a complete NAC appliance that stops unauthorised access, prevents malicious endpoint activity and enforces compliance. This product provides agentless, agent-based and ActiveX-based protection along with several enforcement methods, including 802.1x, dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP), VPN and endpoint-based. This allows for solid flexibility to work within any network infrastructure.
We found this product to be a fairly straightforward install. Once we connected the appliance to the network, we were able to access the web-based setup wizard, which configures general network and license information. After the initial setup is complete, all configuration and management is done from the web GUI.
The Safe Access solution features a highly flexible policy engine, which comes preloaded with three basic policies. These security policies provide an easy way to get started in assigning various policy groups.
A PDF installation guide and separate user guide are provided with the appliance on a CD. We found both guides to be well-organised and easy to follow with many screen shots and step-by-step instructions.
StillSecure provides standard telephone and email support to all its customers Monday-Friday between the hours of 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Mountain Time. Customers can also purchase a premium support plan, which includes 24/7/365 technical support. There is also a small support area on the website, which includes a FAQ section, updates and a resource library.
At a price for a 2,500-user deployment running at about US$20 per IP, this tool can be quite expensive, but it does provide a lot of flexibility and functionality for the price. We find it to be a good value for the money.

B A+F Academic Flexibility: I have no problem in doing my assignments, they are flexible to fit my daily routines. the instructors are great and they take time to accommodate my needs in class and personally.D.Ann Robinson
B A+F Academic Flexibility: I am an older student. The Staff and Faculty have been there for me. With a gap of 38 years since High School it doesn't feel as bad with their help. The Tech Support is the greatest also. I have no complaints at all concerning AIU. The only problem I have had was financing. Since I am a Disabled American Veteran, I have received a few discounts, but I need a little help in the money department. Since I can't get around very well, due to my mobility problems, online classes seemed the best choice. I have learned a great deal from AIU's classes. They are willing to work with me and my schedule.
Academic Flexibility: This is my first college so there were no credits to transfer. However I did take a couple challenge exams and received credit for them
C A+F Academic Flexibility: no frustrations and hassles; classes are very flexible
B A+F Academic Flexibility: I have had few problems with my classes. When I was ill with cancer I had professors and advisers support when I choose to stay in school and not withdraw. I wish there were a few more degree programs offered such as teaching degrees which prepare you for the state license, but have no complaints.

Chasing Ice at ICA Institute of Contemporary Arts
From to
American environmental photographer James Balog is on a mission. His frequent trips to the Antarctic presented him with dramatic evidence that glaciers were receding at an alarming rate. He embarked on an ambitious project: to demonstrate this visually by installing time-lapse cameras to capture the movement of some of the world's greatest glaciers. He and his crew dramatically risk life and limb putting these delicate electronics in the harshest conditions on the planet. To Balog, the undertaking was an absolute necessity: 'The public needs an understandable piece of visible evidence,' he says. 'Something that grabs them in the gut.' You will not soon forget the mission's breathtakingly stunning, and equally heartbreaking, findings - nor should you. A beautifully rendered portrait of an environmental visionary, Chasing Ice should be mandatory viewing for the leaders of the world who continue to bicker about the extent of our impact upon this fragile earth.

A space probe crashes in the desert. Something deadly on board wipes out almost the entire population of a small town. The government instigates an emergency protocol and top scientists gather at a secret underground quarantine facility to contain this killer germ from outer space.
Will they be able to save the planet from disaster?
To find out, read Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain – an adventure with heroic scientists. This terrifying tale of alien microbes, bringing instantaneous death to (almost) every living creature they come into contact with, was published weeks before the first Apollo lunar landing. But Nasa had already predicted this worst-case scenario of bringing back material from another world.
On their return to Earth, the Apollo 11 astronauts were locked away in a converted Airstream caravan - the Mobile Quarantine Facility. Lunar rocks and soil were sealed in bags and only opened in airtight laboratories. Even the Apollo capsule was wiped with bleach to destroy any stray Moon bugs. In retrospect, these precautions look rather quaint and the whole rigmarole was abandoned after Apollo 14, when scientists concluded that the Moon was completely devoid of life.
But now, 40 years on, Nasa is dusting down those quarantine procedures for a new challenge: returning rocks from Mars.
A so-called Mars sample return mission is the next step in the exploration of the red planet, coming between the existing rover missions, such as Curiosity, and future human exploration. It may also, finally, answer one of the biggest questions about Mars: is there life?
"The Curiosity rover does not have the instruments to answer the 'are we alone' question by itself," says David Beaty, chief scientist for Nasa's Mars Exploration Directorate at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "All it can do is understand the environment. Testing for 'is there evidence of life?' requires another mission and the best way to do that is by collecting samples and returning them to Earth."
Popping out for coffee
The reason scientists favour a sample return mission is that they do not know exactly what they are looking for. Martian life could come in many different guises and using equipment designed to detect life on Earth, may not pick it up on Mars. Nasa could design another rover, equipped with all sorts of life-hunting instrumentation, only to find it is taking the wrong measurements with the wrong detectors.
"If you have the wrong experiment on your rover, you can't modify that," says Beaty's Mars programme colleague, Deborah Bass. "If you bring samples back, you have all the power of Earth's laboratories at your disposal."
But it won't be easy. Although robotic sample return missions have been attempted before, they have had varying degrees of success. The first, Luna 16, landed on the Moon in 1970 and brought the Soviet Union back its own lunar rocks. In 2004, Nasa's Genesis mission returned to Earth after capturing particles blown from the Sun. Unfortunately, the spacecraft's parachutes failed to open and it smashed into the Utah desert spilling its contents. Nasa had more luck in 2006 with its Stardust mission to a comet but things did not go so well for the 2010 Japanese Hayabusa mission, which returned to Earth after landing on an asteroid. It only managed to capture a few dust particles, as projectiles designed to blast fragments from the surface failed to fire. No mission has yet returned samples from another planet.
Still, the good news is that they do not need to collect much. Whereas Apollo brought back several hundred kilos of rocks, soil and dust, Beaty reckons he would be happy with 20 Mars samples of some 15g to 20g each – between 300g and 400 g in total. Or, to put it another way, "what would fit in a coffee cup".

The vast majority of electric cars that we've seen have been efficient but incredibly dull, poorly styled and aimed more at the environmentally conscious than petrol heads.
This hasn't gone unnoticed by Toyota, which claims that environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient cars pursue "functionality and efficiency" and "lose some sense of excitement and amusement" offered by classic cars. With this in mind, the Toyota 2000GT SEV – nicknamed the "Crazy Car Project" – was born.
The Toyota 2000GT SEV is a world away from most electric and hybrid cars. Aside from the lurid decals, huge brakes and modern wheels, it looks every bit like a classic car. It's not just the technology underneath the Crazy Car Project that impresses either. This car is as bespoke as they come, with hand-beaten aluminium panels, a bonnet that also features solar panels to help recharge the batteries, and a carefully crafted alcantara interior.
Even the dashboard looks authentic – with no initial sign of the huge colour screens that dominate modern vehicles. Toyota has been clever about the integration of technology, however, with a display that's neatly built into the mirror, offering functionality without spoiling the retro feel.
When it comes to power itself, the Toyota 2000GT SEV gets an LSHV electric motor and a stack of lithium-ion batteries. It may be a world away from the original straight-six carb-fed combustion engine, and lack character because of it, but we'd still take the Crazy Car Project in a flash over nearly every other electric car – with the Tesla Roadster currently the only genuinely fun rival.
The one question on our mind, however, is whether it's sacrilege to strip out the iconic engine from the Toyota 2000GT – one of Japan's first and most collectable classic cars – in order to create an electric car?

Brief Overview of the Red Fox
This short video clip shows many close-ups of the red fox, and her babies. There is no narration, but the professionally-made video footage and sounds from nature help to bring the red fox into the classroom for your students to observe. This would be a nice compliment to the poem Over in the Meadow, where the red fox mother tells her baby cubs to "run."

The new Library of Congress Experience, featuring exhibits enhanced by interactive technologies will make the Library of Congress and its collections more dynamic and accessible than ever before. These exhibits will offer "hands-on" interaction with rare cultural treasures in ways that inspire and engage.
More to Explore
People and Groups
Recommended Articles
This Week's Hidden Treasure
Examine some of the Library of Congress' most historically meaningful and culturally relevant artifacts from its treasured collections.
Artifacts like the 1507 Waldseemüller map (the first to include the name "America"), the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, the Gutenberg Bible and original volumes from Thomas Jefferson's Library will be virtually at your fingertips.
Begin your Library of Congress Experience by sampling two of their exhibits:
Exploring the Early Americas
About the Exhibition
Exploring the Early Americas features selections from the more than 3,000 rare maps, documents, paintings, prints, and artifacts that make up the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library of Congress. It provides insight into indigenous cultures, the drama of the encounters between Native Americans and European explorers and settlers, and the pivotal changes caused by the meeting of the American and European worlds. The exhibition includes two extraordinary maps by Martin Waldseemüller created in 1507 and 1516, which depict a world enlarged by the presence of the Western Hemisphere.
Pre-Contact America
Carved Mirror-Back With Hieroglyphs

Jay I. Kislak Collection, Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress (34.1)

To learn about the indigenous peoples of the Americas, scholars draw on the rare texts that survived the European encounter, as well as objects used by indigenous peoples. The richest source of Pre-Columbian historical information comes from the ancient Maya, who developed the most sophisticated writing system in the Americas. The Maya and other native cultures often embellished their texts with illustrations, recording or carving them on objects of stone, ceramic, wood, and other surfaces. This section of the exhibition draws on select artifacts in the Kislak Collection and presents them as objects that, like books or documents, provide us with information about ceremonies, wars, court life, alliances, astronomy, calendars, and the reigns of kings. Reflecting the strengths of the Kislak Collection, this area deals principally with the pre-contact cultures of Mesoamerica, a territory that includes most of the modern countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and El Salvador.
Explorations and Encounters
Columbus's Voyage and the New World
Christopher Columbus (1451–1506).
De Insulis nuper in Mari Indico repertis in Carolus Verardus: Historia Baetica.
Basel: I.B. [Johann Bergman de Olpe], 1494.
Jay I. Kislak Collection, Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress (48.1)
Christopher Columbus's voyages began a centuries-long series of encounters between peoples of the Americas and Europe. The Kislak Collection includes a selection of dramatic objects and records that reflect this complicated and extraordinary epoch. This section presents materials from the voyages of exploration of Christopher Columbus (1451–1506), Hernán Cortés (1485–1547), and Francisco Pizarro (ca. 1475–1541) and material about the natives of the Americas they encountered. It also features the Conquest of Mexico paintings, created in the seventeenth century, which depict the cataclysmic encounter between Cortés and the conquistadors and Moctezuma and his people.
Aftermath of the Encounter
1507 World Map
Martin Waldseemüller. Universalis cosmographia secunda Ptholemei traditionem et Americi Vespucci aliorum que lustrations. [Strasbourg?]: 1507.
Geography and Map Division, Library of Congress (142)
The encounters between the Americas and Europe altered the civilizations of both deeply and irrevocably. Among the many dramatic changes resulting from the encounters are the three covered in this section. "Language and Religion" documents the efforts of Spanish missionaries to convert natives and to record their languages. "Competition for Empire" reveals how other European powers, and eventually the newly created United States as well, vied for position and control in the Americas. Finally, in "Documenting New Knowledge," the exhibition examines two disciplines, natural history and geography, in which post-encounter Europe recorded the abundant New World information that often challenged their earlier conceptions and worldview.
Creating the United States
About the Exhibition

The Articles of Confederation
Benjamin Franklin, Plan for a Confederation, July 21, 1775.
Printed document annotated by Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress
Shortly after the revolutionary war began at Concord and Lexington, Benjamin Franklin submitted this plan for a united colonial confederation or American republic to the Continental Congress on July 21, 1775. Thomas Jefferson, a fellow delegate, annotated his copy of Franklin's plan which began a national debate on the creation of an American Republic.
Declaration of Independence Rough Draft
Thomas Jefferson. Rough Draft of the Declaration of Independence, June–July 1776.
Thomas Jefferson Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress
The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson and heavily amended by the Continental Congress, boldly asserted humanity's right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as well as the American colonies' right to revolt against an oppressive British government. Jefferson's "original Rough draught" illustrates Jefferson's literary flair and records key changes made by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and the Continental Congress before its July 4, 1776, adoption.
Plan for the Future Capital District
Thomas Jefferson. Map of the Capital District, 1791.
Manuscript map.
Thomas Jefferson Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress
This plan for the United States capital district, which became known as Washington or the District of Columbia, was drawn by Thomas Jefferson in 1791. As secretary of state, Jefferson was one of the leaders in planning the capital district. Jefferson's rough map shows the Capitol and president's house before final placement decisions were made. The federal government did not move to Washington until November 1800.

" . . . Making fewer films is good, because there are too many films in the marketplace and too much pressure to perform in the first weekend. I think it's a market correction to have fewer movies out there, and maybe there will be more of a premium on originality. Right now, there's a lack of ideas in Hollywood. People are recycling ideas, not reinventing them . . . "

QUEENSBURY - A Queensbury couple has safely returned from a Hawaiian island adventure. The couple was in danger of losing their lives on the island of Kauai inside the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park.
Bruce and Shay Mason were on the final leg of their second honeymoon when heavy rains and high flood waters trapped them on the tropical island.
The couple was trapped along with 18 other hikers, who just happened to also be on the island during the storm.
Shay confess there were moments when they weren't 100 percent sure they would make it off the pacific jungle island alive.
The group of strangers gathered together and built a shelter. After surviving the night, rescuers airlifted the hikers out one at a time.
Even after this traumatizing experience the Masons say they'd actually like to return to the idyllic setting for films like south pacific.

Early June brought the re-release of a gloriously remastered Yellow Submarine on Blu-ray and DVD. Mere months later, Magical Mystery Tour is following suit.
Widely lambasted at the time as an indulgent and incoherent fantasy, the Beatles' under-an-hour television special, a hallucinatory day trip to the seaside by tour bus, originally aired on BBC1 (in black-and-white, not color) on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, in 1967. Critics ripped it to shreds – it was considered the Fab Four's first unmitigated failure – and the film subsequently was never broadcast stateside. It has suffered an ignominious fate ever since, relegated to crummy, hard-to-find video prints.
To remedy that, Apple Films enlisted the same crew that made Yellow Submarine such a high-def wonder and turned them loose on MMT, the Beatles' drug-fueled stab at complete creative control following manager Brian Epstein's death at the end of August '67. By then, the group was even more of a global cultural phenomenon than it had been during the initial British Invasion, riding high off the groundbreaking success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the One World satellite sync-up premiere of "All You Need Is Love."

TechRadar caught up for an in-depth chat about all things Skype-related this week, with Mike Bartlett, Skype's Director of Product Management for Windows.
Mike, an affable and laid-back South African, gave us the full run-down of what Skype has in store for later this year and for the longer term, offering an exclusive glimpse into the future of VoIP telephony.
TechRadar: Hi Mike, before we get into discussing present and future projects and Skype products, can you give us the quick potted history of the company?
Mike Bartlett: Well, I think fundamentally that Skype co-founders Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis had a very simple vision, which was to enable people to very easily make free calls over the internet. The key to their success, and Skype's initial success, was that, out of the box, it just worked. You didn't need to sit for hours tweaking firewall settings and configuring this, that and the other. All you did was install Skype, set up your Skype name and you were right there, ready to go.
TechRadar: What about other similar products around prior to Skype's launch?
Mike Bartlett: Well, you had stuff like NetMeeting many years ago, which never seemed to work. I was an ex-programmer and I could never make it work properly. So that's where I think Skype came in and changed the game.
TechRadar: Skype is now pretty well established amongst technophiles. What do you think were the key strategies in establishing Skype and getting it to where it is today?
Mike Bartlett: I think the basic value proposition of it. Just the offer to 'call people for free' initially was what helped start it. There was no SkypeOut or anything like that, originally.
Also, the execution from the original team that started Skype – which was an incredibly smart, committed team. I remember when I first started here three years ago and you walked in and hit this wave of noise and enthusiasm. I've never worked with such a group of smart and committed people before. Getting the right people to build the product was key.
Second to that was then opening up Skype by offering SkypeIn and SkypeOut which allowed you to call people who weren't Skype users on their existing mobile or land-line numbers. Certainly, the uptake on those paid services has been fantastic, as our revenues show! A lot of people don't even use Skype to make free calls. They come to us for the value that our paid services offer.
Also, by nature, Skype is a viral product. If you get started and you want to talk to other people for free, then you have to get those other people on your contact list. So someone who might be an early adopter will get Skype and it goes from there. You can just look at myself as a good example – when I got Skype around four years ago, before I joined, to stay in touch with my parents in South Africa. They are not early adopters, but they installed Skype as soon as I did. So it's just that natural viral model – the fact that you need people to talk to on your contact list, has fuelled the success.
TechRadar: What are your user figures right now?
Mike Bartlett: 338 million registered users, 54% year-on-year growth from July last year. So still pretty strong!
TechRadar: What else do you do in terms of marketing Skype?
Mike Bartlett: Well, we don't do very much in the way of 'above the line' marketing. Probably the most above the line thing I've ever seen was down to the recent partnership with 3 – when I remember getting on a train and being faced with hundreds of Skype logos looking at me from the back covers of the free sheet newspapers! But 'viral' is still the main reason for our growth.
In particular, we have seen a lot of growth coming out of North America. We're currently doing some stuff with Oprah over there, for example, where Oprah is using Skype's high quality video because the set-up and is much easier and the quality is better than what's on offer from satellite firms. Of course, we've also had a lot of support from [parent company] eBay in North America, as they have a big footprint there.
TechRadar: What's the latest on Skype's high quality video offering?
Mike Bartlett: High quality video was launched late last year. We looked at video calling and wanted to increase the quality we were offering at the time. We were leading the market in terms of the quality we were offering and we wanted to quadruple the pixel density we were offering – so we went from 320 x 240 up to 640 x 480 resolution as well as increasing the number of frames per second from 15fps to 30fps, so the picture was more fluid.
We worked very closely with Logitech to develop this. You'll find that there are lots of web cameras on the market that offer those numbers on the box, but that is generally for still pictures not for live motion picture. So what you will find is that the computer requirements needed to compress and send a 640 x 480 picture at 30 frames per second over the internet – well, we just weren't getting the results we wanted with other cameras – and Logitech did some work to move some of the CPU constraints into the actual camera so we could have some space to do the compression and all that sort of thing.
Since we've launched high quality video it is still limited to, I think, around four cameras that can do it. Also remember that the high quality video service is not only about the resolution and the frames per second. It's also how it deals with lighting, for example, if a user is in low-lighting conditions, as they are often in their bedrooms and so on.
Over twenty-five per cent of Skype calls is now over video. It's certainly something we're very focused on. You'll be seeing a lot more from us on the video front next year.
TechRadar: What of competitors? MSN and the like?
Mike Bartlett: Skype is providing a more intimate type of communication that would you would find on MSN Messenger, for example. MSN Messenger is a more IM-centric offering. With Skype, we have instant messaging obviously, but people are using us more for calling, more for video… In some ways you could say that we are competing with MSN, but we actually find that a lot of our users actually run Skype alongside MSN and other IM programmes, where they have their larger, less-intimate network. And they have the people that they really want to talk to and really want to share these intimate experiences on their Skype network.
TechRadar: Can you tell us a little more about Skype's Developer Zone?
Mike Bartlett: Well we do a few things to enable developers to build things on top of Skype, we have a set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for programmers to write their own applications. A great example of what's on offer is a piece of software called Skylook which takes Skype and Outlook and kind of fuses the two together – so from Outlook you can immediately click on a contact and create a call with them and so on.
Users can go to an area on our site called Skype Extras in order to discover what's on offer from developers. You can see in the gallery area there what the most popular downloads are, you can grab gaming applications from there (so you can play chess and backgammon with friends, and so on). At the same time as being on a call, you're watching your opponent via the webcam, which is really exciting.
There's a lot of video applications too. You might want to turn your face into a parrot, for example. Which is very cool! And uses some pretty sophisticated face-tracking technology, mimicking your mouth movements and so on. All of these types of things bring a lot more richness and depth to the overall experience.
TechRadar: What's the incentive for the developers?
Mike Bartlett: They can sell their applications in the usual types of way, offering a free trial and so on. We've built a payment mechanism into the developer zone, so users can easily pay for something out of their Skype credit. They don't have that friction of having to go off and enter their credit card details in another way or whatever.
TechRadar: So it's a similar model to Apple's recently launched App Store?
Mike Bartlett: Yeah, that's a pretty close analogy.
TechRadar: So what are the latest product offerings from Skype?
Mike Bartlett: There are a few things. Subscriptions launched last month and is doing pretty well, which allows people to pay a monthly fee and get unlimited calling to landlines, either in their own country or a group of countries or worldwide (with varying fees for each). The value offering with Subscriptions is incredible. People are really picking up on them. We had launched something in the past called SkypePro, but this latest offering is really taking off.
So that's on the paid side. On the free side, we're very engaged in our new version of the desktop software – Skype 4.0 – which is about two things.
Firsty, it's about making Skype a little simpler. As you pointed out, many early adopters have already got on board with Skype, but we are increasingly seeing lots more novice computer using downloading and using Skype. There were two things in particular which we needed to address here – the user interface (UI) was built four years ago as this kind of skinny thing that sat on the side of your desktop and we've built a lot of richness on that over time (IM, file and video sending and so on) – so we have gone for a larger UI and people are now becoming much more aware of stuff that's in there that they maybe didn't know about before. So users are becoming much more aware of the SMS services, of how to import all their contacts (from Outlook, Yahoo or wherever). It's also loads easier to configure all your hardware – your webcams and headsets.
Secondly, there's a much bigger canvas for video and everything works together well now in one window (where before you had numerous windows open, which could prove confusing). You can have chat and video and file/photo sharing and so on all in the same window side by side. You can then easily go back and find that photo that you just sent over to your mum, or whatever it is. So that's all in beta right now and it's coming along really nicely, we're getting some great feedback.
It's a big change. Nobody else has attempted to do a communications client in a larger form factor than what we are used to today. I often talk about it internally in these terms – six or seven years ago, you would listen to music in WinAmp and now everybody uses something like iTunes, which has rich, open browsing and all of that. The difference being that WinAmp is an application you use to play music and iTunes is an application you use to experience music.
Which is exactly what we are doing with desktop communications. It's not just an application any more, communication is an experience. It's something that we do every single day. It's core to human beings, wanting to communicate. So what we are doing is trying to make that a richer experience for people.
TechRadar: What about mobile? The 3 Skypephone mark two is out soon?
Mike Bartlett: Yeah, that's due in September. There's also Skype through your mobile, which is also in beta at the moment, that allows you to download and install Skype onto a number of existing devices. In the past, we struggled a little bit with mobile because you have all these different platforms – you have Symbian, Java and so on – and we were trying to address all of those in one go, with numerous different versions.
TechRadar: What about the conflict between Skype and traditional telephone companies and mobile networks?
Mike Bartlett: Well, you can see on 3, for example, they see Skype as an application that can leverage an unlimited data plan, so they are not as threatened by us. They are getting a good subscription base value and number of new customers and retaining customers. And we are providing a good application for their customers.
TechRadar: What about the various problems users report with Skype? Spamming? Calls dropping out? How are you tackling those problems?
Mike Bartlett: Well, look at email, for example you get a lot more spam there than you do on something like Skype! But sure, we are doing a lot at the moment to try to protect our users from spamming. In the past we had some problems where people were being contacted in an unsolicited way and we didn't have mechanisms in place that we could use to block those sorts of things. We have those now and over the last year we've been actively attacking this problem. If you get contacted by somebody you don't want to contact you, you can now very easily immediately block that person. Also, when you get authorization requests from another user, we now hide that user's picture as well – so you don't get any embarrassing pictures popping up on your screen! [laughs]
We're looking across the entire peer-to-peer cloud and trying to detect these things early. We have a dedicated team of people working on this and we feel that we are on top of it and will continue to be on top of it.
In terms of call quality, we also do a lot. We have large teams of people here, in Estonia, in Stockholm and in the US concentrating on improving call quality. Calls are, obviously, going across the internet – we're leveraging the internet, so if a router falls down somewhere, then we transition the call across to somewhere else to make sure call quality is consistent. We're also doing stuff with wideband and ultra-wideband, where the quality of the call sounds better than traditional telephone calls, because we are utilizing a wider range of sound technology so we are not cancelling out the top and bottom ranges so much, so the voice sounds a lot crisper. We're doing a lot of research on this right now. We feel that we have the strongest call quality out there and we want to maintain this position.
TechRadar: What of small business users? That seems to be more of a focus for you than it has been in the past.
Mike Bartlett: Yeah, over thirty per cent of our users also run Skype in their business environment, which has grown considerably over the last few years. So we're developing products like the Skype for Business control panel – which lets small business owners control all their Skype Credit expenditure, buying up a chunk for a group of employees and so on.
As for issues with firewalls, particularly with bigger organisations, what we don't want to ever to is to circumvent those firewalls. Which is a bad thing and would make us very unpopular! We just need to continue to work to educate people that Skype is a safe and secure product to use in the enterprise and help them understand the value it brings – in terms of cost-savings and in terms of ease of use for video conferencing. Skype feels much more like being in the same room as the other people you are on the video conference with – so you have all the concurrent cost savings in terms of time, travel and so on.
TechRadar: What of the longer term? What of next year and beyond?
Mike Bartlett: Firstly, video is key to what we are doing. Making that video calling experience richer. Continuing to improve upon the quality of the video.
Secondly, mobility. We want to get Skype beyond desktop downloads. You can have this video call, this instant messaging session, wherever you are. What we are doing with MySpace is also interesting in this area. We just want to keep working on making Skype more ubiquitous and more available.

Once one of most influential military officers in the world, General David Petraeus saw his authority swiftly deteriorate in November when he resigned over an extramarital affair with his biographer.
On a list of the 100 most influential people in U.S. defense out Monday, Petraeus ranks last.
Editors at Defense News and Military Times, which published the list, say Petraeus was originally in the top five. The news of his resignation sent the editors of the inaugural list scrambling.
[ENJOY: Cartoons on the Petraeus Sex Scandal]
"Does retired Gen. David Petraeus, for years considered America's most powerful general, belong at the very bottom of the list? Or is he no longer a player at all?" Defense News asks on its web site Monday, though noting that "Few expect [Petraeus] to stay underground for long." While Petraeus's future is unclear, a number of possibilities have already been suggested for the five-star general. The Washington Business Journal recently reportedly that he'd find a soft landing in the corporate defense world. Forbes mused about a potential future in politics. And USA Today said that without further mistakes it was likely Petraeus would continue to serve the country in some capacity.
With Petraeus knocked out of the list's top five, Obama administration national security adviser Thomas Donilon is, not surprisingly, ranked as the most influential person in U.S. defense. Donilon is trailed by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan, and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Mike Vickers.
The biggest surprise on the list may be Bradley Manning, the Army private charged with leaking reams of classified material to Wikileaks and the object of much scorn in the Washington military establishment. Manning comes in at No. 60, but ranks above big defense players such as former CIA director Michael Hayden and Northrop Grumman CEO Wes Bush.

The first thing to check are the settings in Media Companion.
Ensure that in the TV Preferences that all the poster/fanart settings are correct - I have all 'Download' boxes checked, and the season-all.tbn set as banner (but that's just my preference).
Then in the show folder check that MC has indeed scraped a fanart.jpg, a folder.jpg, a season**.tbn for each season, and a season-all.tbn (if not 'none' in settings), and that they are all OK.
In XBMC, you may need to clean out the database. First try Clean Library... from System Settings -> Video, and if that doesn't work, you may need to start again by going into Video -> Files, then right-click your TV Show folder and select Remove Source, then re-add it.
Try those ideas out and let us know how you got on.
Thanks for that. I tried the "Clean Library" but it didn't do anything.
I can confirm:
# Media Companion has all the "download" options checked in preferences
# I can see the fanart.jpg, a folder.jpg, season**.tbn files
From a Media Companion point of view, it shows "Season 1", "Season 2" and "Season 3" each with there own posters. So I think Media Companion is correct. I just think its XBMC doing something weird.
