The Current's Rock and Roll Book Club: Stephen Witt's 'How Music Got Free'
At The Current, we love music and we also love books about music. In partnership with MPR's The Thread, we've started a new series we're calling The Current's Rock and Roll Book Club. Each month, we're picking a book about the music we love, and one of our staff members is sharing his or her take on the book. We hope you'll read along with us, and share your thoughts both in the comment section and via social media: #RockandRollBookClub.
Our previous picks include Kim Gordon's Girl in a Band, Jessica Hopper's First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic, and Morrissey's Autobiography. This month, Mac Wilson writes about a fascinating new history of the digital music era.
Stephen Witt's How Music Got Free chronicles the very events of its title, starting in the late 1980s, through the salad days of the record industry of the 1990s, before finding ourselves here, in the 2000s, where any song can be dialed up at the drop of a hat. It's a startling progression, even after reading about it, and one of Witt's goals is to take a step back and explain how this happened, so fast, before our very eyes.
How Music Got Free fits into many categories, all at once. It's an interesting historical procedural, an illuminating biography, and a gripping crime caper, all unfolding in three parallel stories. The book is divided into three alternating sections (e.g. the chapters repeat the pattern in sequence), each telling their own separate story, while interweaving in fascinating ways.
Before delving into each plotline, I should acknowledge that this structure has its benefits and its drawbacks. On the upside, the format allows each story to unfold, as they gradually begin to intersperse with each other. The effect is similar to Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, in that while each plotline affects the other, the focus remains squarely on the overall subject. The downside to this structure is when one plotline overtakes the others (as we will see), and the less-compelling chapters begin to feel more obligatory than enlightening.
One plotline outlines the history of the development of the MP3, spotlighting Karlheinz Brandenburg, the Fraunhofer Society, and their hard-fought path to success. These sections are the most technically-oriented chapters, but Witt does a nice job of making Fraunhofer's trials understandable for even the tech-illiterate. There's an interesting tidbit about how the team often used the intro to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" as their test case, as they knew that digital audio would need to faithfully replicate any musical element—including a cappella voices. If the sound of a human voice was unconvincing, a program would fail. The litany of tests to which the MP3 was subjected is staggering; it's almost claustrophobic to picture the engineers listening to Suzanne Vega for hours on end, for years. The history of the MP3 adds a layer of knowledge to better understand how music was able to undergo such widespread digital dissemination.
Another section spotlights the life and career of music mogul Doug Morris, who worked with Warner, MCA, Universal, Sony, and as the eventual founder of VEVO. The Morris sections of the book are notable for the look into the machinations of the record industry during its most profitable years: the late '80s to the early 2000s. Witt outlines numerous instances of the record industry blowing off the threat of digital piracy, even as they enjoyed tremendous profits, and an air of comeuppance for the RIAA and the major record labels hangs over every stage of the story. Morris is an interesting figure, but as his story progresses, it's tough to shake the impression of him as a wealthy white guy who manages to fall upwards into progressively incredible gigs (he starts as the writer for "Smokin' in the Boys Room" and winds up the CEO of Sony). Still, his section is worthwhile mostly for its (often wry) insights on the record industry.
The third prong of How Music Got Free is its most compelling, and the one for which Witt will receive the most of his well-deserved accolades. The story first appeared in The New Yorker, as "The Man Who Broke the Music Business," and I could easily see it garnering its own reputation, and perhaps even appearing as its own stand-alone piece down the line. It is the story of Dell Glover, a factory worker in a CD plant in North Carolina, who, over the span of a decade, leaked countless albums to the nascent digital universe. Glover's story is remarkable; it's a crackling tale of an enormous, sustained heist that incorporated elements beyond what any screenwriter could dare. The fewer details I reveal, the more enjoyable the reading experience, but I assure that your jaw will physically drop at multiple points.
How Music Got Free provides a nice background regarding some of the building blocks of how and why we listen to music in the digital realm. The book succeeds even more, though, in pointing out the elements of our music-listening experience that we take for granted, yet must have had influenced by human hands (at least metaphorically!) at every stage. For instance, one could go online right now, and after a few moments of searching, wind up with the MP3 leak of the new Beach House album. A book like How Music Got Free illustrates all the labor that went into making sure that the Beach House album can appear as audio, online, in perfect fidelity; how a band like Beach House got signed and rose through the ranks to get to the point where their leaked album is a hot commodity; and the fact that the leak had to have materialized online via someone's very ingenious means.
There was a lot of work that had to happen in order for one to be here, listening to the Beach House leak, months ahead of its release. Of course, the next, logical, cynical leap of reasoning, is that said effort took place independently of the labor of the musicians themselves...but maybe that's a book for another day.

Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
Expanded CloudEncrypt™ Suite Provides Encrypted Amazon Machine Images for Sensitive Workloads at Big Data Scale
Gazzang, the big data security experts, today at AWS Summit 2014 announced the availability of a set of preconfigured Amazon Machine Images (AMI) on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform that allow users to launch fully encrypted cloud instances from the AWS Management Console. The new Gazzang CloudEncrypt™ solutions were developed to help organizations securely move sensitive workloads into the cloud and grow their environments as business demands warrant.
"Security should be as agile and elastic as the cloud itself," said Rich Mogull, analyst and CEO at Securosis. "Your security tools need to account for the highly dynamic nature of the cloud, where servers might pop up automatically and run for only an hour before disappearing forever."
"We are taking a unique approach to cloud security by using encryption, key management and access controls to ensure the integrity of the image and protect the data itself," said Sam Heywood, vice president of products and marketing at Gazzang. "And because the cloud isn't static, we designed the solutions to take on the traits of the cloud they're protecting. That means the CloudEncrypt AMIs can scale to meet business needs and are flexible enough to work across multiple cloud applications."
The following products are now available worldwide from Gazzang:
Gazzang CloudEncrypt for Amazon EC2
AWS customers can launch a secure Ubuntu image and select from a variety of databases including MongoDB Enterprise Edition, MySQL and PostgreSQL (with Apache Hadoop and Cassandra coming soon). Each image contains the exact same security configurations at boot time to make it easier for a user to spin up new instances and add them to the existing cluster. Preconfigured security includes the following:
- High-performance transparent data-at-rest encryption and key management to secure configuration and log files, directories and Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) volumes
- Access controls and Linux firewall settings preset to allow only certain approved processes to access encrypted data
- HIPAA-compliant SSH login
- Java API's that enable users to encrypt and decrypt data moving into and out of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Glacier
- Settings that require HTTPS, close unused ports, shut down unnecessary services and delete data on virtual machine termination
Gazzang CloudEncrypt for AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Each new application deployed with Gazzang CloudEncrypt for AWS Elastic Beanstalk will be wrapped with Gazzang security applied automatically.
Gazzang CloudEncrypt for StarCluster
Gazzang is bringing its unique approach to cloud security to enable organizations to deploy secure, large-scale compute clusters on Amazon EC2 using StarCluster. Now research organizations can run sensitive workloads - including ones in HIPAA scope - in the public cloud. In addition to the security features resident in Gazzang CloudEncrypt for Amazon EC2, CloudEncrypt for StarCluster includes master node encryption, slave node encryption and GlusterFS encrypted secure share.
"We are excited to see Gazzang expand their CloudEncrypt product offering to further complement AWS' enterprise security capabilities, making it easier for customers to confidently deploy mission critical applications on AWS," said Terry Wise, Director of Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, Amazon Web Services, Inc.
Last year, Gazzang launched CloudEncrypt for Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), which provides data encryption and key management at every stage of the Amazon EMR data lifecycle.
About Gazzang

Our technology enables SaaS vendors, health care organizations, financial institutions, public sector agencies and more to meet regulatory compliance initiatives, secure personally identifiable information and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries.

Product Description
Product Description
The Celestron 71018 features a 20x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 80 millimeters, giving it a 4-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) The Celestron 71018 also includes an integrated tripod adapter rod, a deluxe padded soft carrying case, and Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Good Points:
- Great value for the money.
- good quality, great alignment
- easy to use, much more portable than a telescope (and you get to use both eyes too).
- 20x power really brings things in close.
- work great for daytime observing as well as astronomical use.
Watch out for:
- as with any high powered binocular, these really magnify your motions making things appear jittery. You need to be steady or lean against something to get a clear view.
- you will want a tripod for most critical uses
- they are heavy, so if you hand-hold them, your arms will get tired fast.
The SkyMaster is great for many types of viewing. They are very good for long distance viewing. The main thing to be aware of with the SkyMaster is that they are heavy and large binoculars--not unlike some WWII navy or antiaircraft binoculars. Holding them steady to view things on land is fine for short periods of time. Once your arms start to fatigue, holding them steady is difficult resulting in unsharp images. Holding them steady for astronomy, other than the moon, is next to impossible, even for short periods of time. So, to get the best quality images from these binoculars you'll need to put them on a tripod using the tripod adapter that comes with the SkyMaster. I use sturdy tripods (Manfrotto) I have for my DSLR cameras. Once on the tripod, the SkyMaster is a joy to use. At home, I have them set on a tripod overlooking the ocean about 1/4 mile away. I can easily see whales spouting, people on boats, seals, and otters. I can clearly focus on birds that are as close as 30 yards away.
Occasionally, I take them on hikes. They fit well in a daypack along with a sturdy traveler-type tripod. I have no problems using the SkyMaster with or without glasses. They are easy to focus given that they are 20x magnification. The images are clear and bright.
The SkyMaster is well built and will hold up to minor abuse. The included fabric case will not protect the binoculars during travel.Read more ›

|In a recent post, Joe Bohn detailed some of the new capabilities and enhancements that come along with the recently delivered IBM Workload Deployer v3.1. To be sure, there are many valuable new features such as PowerVM support for virtual application patterns, the Plugin Developer Kit, WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition v8, and more. Each of these topics probably merit their own post, but today I want to talk about something I did not mention above. Specifically, I want to talk about the announcements regarding the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool (ICCT) and what that means for IBM Workload Deployer users.
|You may have read an earlier post that I wrote about the ICCT, but allow me a brief overview here. In short, the ICCT enables the construction of custom virtual images for use in IBM Workload Deployer. You use the tool to create virtual images, much like IBM Hypervisor Edition images, and then you can use those custom images (containing whatever content you need) to create your own custom virtual system patterns. The key point about the custom images you create with the ICCT is that they are dynamically configurable. That is, the tool helps you to create the images in such a way that you can defer configuration until deploy time rather than burning such configuration directly into an image. For those of you familiar with virtual image creation, you know this type of 'intelligent construction' is a huge step towards keeping image inventory at a reasonable level.
|Okay, enough of a general overview for now. Let's talk about the two new items of note regarding IBM Workload Deployer v3.1 and the ICCT. The first thing you should know is that starting in IBM Workload Deployer v3.1, the ICCT is shipped with the appliance. This means that you do not need to go anywhere else in order to get your hands on the tool to start creating your custom images. You simply log into IBM Workload Deployer and click the download link on the appliance's welcome panel (shown in image below).
|Getting your hands on the tool is one piece of the puzzle, but using it is quite another. While the ICCT has been available as an alphaWorks project for some time, that also implies that there has never been official support for the tool. That changes starting with IBM Workload Deployer v3.1. The ICCT is now a generally available product from IBM, and that means that it is fully and officially supported as well. Further, the images you create using the tool are also officially supported for use as building blocks of your IBM Workload Deployer virtual system patterns. For many of you who have been using the ICCT for some time, but have been hesitant to expand use because of the lack of a formal support statement, you should now feel free to charge forward!
|I hope this helps clear up exactly what the new Image Construction and Composition Tool announcements that were part of IBM Workload Deployer v3.1 actually mean. I cannot wait to hear about how you all are putting the ICCT to use with IBM Workload Deployer. Finally, don't forget to send us any questions, comments, or other feedback that you may have regarding this or any other new feature in IBM Workload Deployer v3.1!

Use Cases for WebSphere CloudBurst
DKA 0600026VJ2 Tags:  websphere_cloudburst 2,622 Views
I've been out visiting with various user groups and customers this week to talk with them about the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance.
The concept of patterns introduced by WebSphere CloudBurst usually becomes the center of the discussion. These patterns allow users to build and save full representations of WebSphere Application Server middleware environments. WebSphere CloudBurst then allows users to deploy these patterns into a private cloud resulting in quicker, more consistent WebSphere Application server deployments. The appliance also provides facilities to quickly reclaim the resources used by such deployments.
Almost immediately the benefit of using WebSphere CloudBurst in dynamic environments (i.e. test/dev environments) becomes apparent. Users can build and save WebSphere Application Server configurations, quickly deploy those configurations, and reclaim the resources used by those configurations in a rapid manner.
One of the things I've tried to point out during our discussions is that while WebSphere CloudBurst is ideally suited for environments like test/dev, that doesn't mean it can't bring real benefits to a more static production environment.
To start with, the idea of the fidelity of a WebSphere Application Server configuration from development to test to production is compelling. By using WebSphere CloudBurst patterns, the hand-off of an application environment between different teams is expressed as a WebSphere CloudBurst pattern instead of as documents and collections of scripts. This goes a long way in ensuring a smooth production deployment once development and test are satisfied with the environment.
Another extremely powerful feature of WebSphere CloudBurst, particularly with respect to production environments, is the ability to apply both interim fixes and service level upgrades to running WebSphere Application Server environments. Using the WebSphere CloudBurst GUI, users can select virtual systems that were created by the appliance and apply either an interim fix or upgrade the service level of the system. Even better, before the fix or upgrade is applied, WebSphere CloudBurst automatically takes a snapshot of the virtual system. If there are any problems, users can rollback to the previous state of the virtual system by simply clicking a button!
There's little doubt that the most apparent, initial value of WebSphere CloudBurst is likely to be in test and development environments. However, that does not mean the appliance isn't suited for production environments. In fact, it provides many features that make WebSphere Application Server production environments more predictable and easy to maintain. Check out some of the WebSphere CloudBurst content on our community page to learn more about WebSphere CloudBurst in both test/dev and production environments.

Value with IBM Amazon Machine Images

About two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with the WebSphere sMash, DB2, and Rational teams on a pretty exciting project. It started during a meeting with the sMash team in which they decided to build a sample application to demonstrate at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last week. Given the lead team the first thought was to simply show off the application at various IBM expo booths. However, we quickly decided the best way to show off the coolness of sMash was to put it in the hands of users. This led us down a path that would include Rational EGL capabilities, the WebSphere sMash Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and the DB2 AMI.
In a little over a week, we delivered a meaningful Web 2.0 application and put it in the hands of conference attendees. Using WebSphere sMash, we produced services that allowed users to view and search for booths at the conference. Each booth at the conference started with a list of keyword tags, and users could add more tags to let other users know what to expect at the booth. We also delivered a Buzz feature that displayed an aggregated feed from both Twitter and Flickr containing entries about the Web 2.0 Expo.
The Rational team, which was already working on an EGL application that would run on attendee handhelds, leveraged the services from our new sMash application, being hosted on the Amazon EC2 infrastructure, to add to their capabilities. Our decision to host the sMash application on EC2 was driven by two factors. The first was that we had virtually no time to go through the in-house server acquisition process. Second, given sMash's capabilities to export and import applications, we were easily able to transfer our local application copy to the AMI instance with no code change. Once the application was imported into the running AMI instance, we changed a single configuration file to reference our newly running DB2 AMI instance which stored the booth data for the expo.
I just thought I'd share this example to highlight a couple of cool technologies, Rational EGL and WebSphere sMash, and to illustrate a scenario in which the IBM Amazon Machine Images deliver value. If you have any questions or want to see some of the application code, send us an email. Here's a couple of screen shots of the application:

The biggest investor in our business is Mother Nature. As ranchers, our inventory needs liberal access to fresh water, clean air and healthy soil for crop production and grazing. It simply makes sense to renew the resources that sustain our family and community – today and well into the future.When you work with a live inventory that keeps eating and growing everyday, challenges are a fact of life; they also present a heap of opportunity. Case in point, cattle produce manure; crop production results in organic waste.
Spring Creek partners with the Growing Power Group; an innovative organization that is committed to Growing Power, the green way. Our integrated BioRefinery; the first in Canada, employs a number of patented technologies to convert bio waste into high value products like:
- Fuel Ethanol: a patented technology that processes high starch wheat into fuel ethanol. The residual material from this process (which is known as Distiller's Grains) is also used as premium vegetable based cattle feed.
- Green Power: a process by which manure is used to produce odorless, zero greenhouse gas energy in the form of bio gas, which is converted to green electricity and steam in our BioUtility facility. Over 2500 homes are powered with green energy from Spring Creek manure.
- Bio fertilizer: an odorless, natural, effective fertilizer that sustains and nurtures premium soil quality.
Visit www.growingpower.com for more details on this exciting technology.
Our family and business has been recognized for environmental stewardship with:
- The National Environmental Stewardship Award for Ranches
- The Growing Alberta Leadership Award for Environmental Stewardship
- The Alberta Emerald Foundation for Environmental Excellence
- Provincial Environmental Stewardship Award
Taking care of the environment – it's simply the only thing to do.

Comments about 'Is expansion in the Pac-12's future? Not for now'
- Oldest first

President Ray said, "The Pac-12 essentially had three criteria when it
considered expansion: All schools would have to remain on equal footing, it
would have to make financial sense, and it could not diminish the conference's
academic brand."
I am so proud that the University of Utah was held to these standards, passed the test, and is now a member of the PAC-12!
Go Utes. This Saturday - we're serving dog.

This is why if the Big XII wants to remain a BCS conference, it'd better expand
to at least 12 immediately (not in 3-5 years), and maybe even 14, or it'll again
be a target of the Pac-12 when 16-team superconferences occur.
If the Big XII were to stablize, and the Big East become defunct, 16-team superconferences might not happen; instead, 14-team superconferences could. Which would allow all current BCS schools to retain their standing, while promoting a few deserving mid-majors. (It'd take 70 teams to do five 14-team conferences, and there are currently 67-68 BCS teams.)
The Utes better enjoy playing the coastal teams before any superconference stuff happens.

Glad to see the Pac-12 stand at 12. I think superconferences are the dream of the media, and not the way that conferences really want to go. Still, very odd that the SEC formalized accepting Texas A&M. Maybe they are ready to cut loose Vanderbilt...

I would like to see a break down of the financials that were eluded to as "money being left on the table". As I look at the PAC 12 I can see both AZ schools not wanting to play in a division with the Tx, Ok, Co, and Utah schools and missing the CA schools voting against their entry, and likewise for Co. and Utah. The kicker comes when Cal and Stanford are against it for academics and USC, Oregon, and UCLA for revenue sharing. (ie. the LHN) By my count six to nine potential votes against this expansion. If this was the feeling, then no need to take a vote at all. Hence the PAC 12 statement.

The PAC 12 needs to settle for a few years so the true programs can again rise to the top, some schools can get past penalties and sanctions for committing NCAA violations, and the true bottom-feeders appear. And yes, in a 12-team league, there will be bottom feeders. (Possibly two of them have campuses at high altitudes, not close to sea level.)

U.S. loses in Honduras
Oscar Boniek Garcia's goal with about 12 minutes left in regulation lifted Honduras to a 2-1 win over the U.S. in a World Cup qualifier Wednesday in steamy San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It was the first match of the final round of regional qualifying for both teams - and the loss marked the first time the U.S. has lost its CONCACAF opener. Garcia converted a deft pass from Jerry Bengtson, with Honduras taking advantage of miscues from U.S. defenders Geoff Cameron and Omar Gonzalez. Cameron and Gonzalez (pictured) were playing together for the first time on a backline that averaged 24 years of age after U.S. coach Juergen Klinsmann elected to go with youth by benching former captain Carlos Bocanegra. Even so, the result was a fair one since Honduras dominated play throughout. – Los Angeles Times

And here I had hoped for Ranma the kunoichi catgirl, oh well. All the same in the end I guess. I do have one question. Why does she have a pigtail? It's not like the dragon whisker soup could affect her. Sorry, just a question that always pops into my mind when I see it. In cannon the hairstyle is needed but in Ranko/Ranma-chan fannen it's not yet she still has it.
| Jerry Unipeg chapter 2 . 8/10/2013
GREAT CHAPTER! (*x4) Nice way for Ranma handling her mix curses, and sound like it is also lock also.

|Playing career
Charles Luksa (born February 19, 1954 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian former ice hockey defenceman.
Luksa was drafted 172nd overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft and 177th overall by the Phoenix Roadrunners in the 1974 WHA Amateur Draft but never played for either team as Luska went on to spend four seasons in the American Hockey League for the Nova Scotia Voyageurs, winning the Calder Cup in successive years in 1977 and 1978. In 1978 the Roadrunners folded and Luksa signed with the Cincinnati Stingers as a free agent, playing 78 regular season games for the team, scoring 8 goals and twelve assists for 20 points. The WHA folded at the end of the season and Luksa was claimed by the Hartford Whalers in the Dispersal Draft. Luksa would only play eight games for the Whalers, scoring one assist, as he spent much of the season in the AHL with the Springfield Indians and would later spend another full season in the league with the Binghamton Whalers.
Luksa moved to Finland's SM-liiga in 1981 and signed with Jokerit before returning to the AHL the same season and signed with the Rochester Americans before retiring from the sport.
Luksa subsequently began selling real estate in Newmarket, Ontario.

Continuing with your beaded jewelry design project, now that you've made herringbone stitch bezels for the beads, we're going to make the base to which they'll all be attached using right-angle weave.
The base I like to use when making these beaded necklaces is a "v" shape that drapes nicely and is easy to adjust for length and fit. (Because being comfortable wearing your beaded jewelry is important!) Another reason I like to use this type of right-angle weave base is because it can support heavier gemstone beads.
To make your right-angle weave base, you'll need the following beads and materials:
- 30-50 grams of size 11 beads, color A
- 20 grams of size 11 beads, color B
- Beading thread (6 lb. FireLine recommended)
Before You Start Stitching: This necklace base using right-angle weave eats up a lot of thread in a hurry, and because you'll be passing through the beads at least twice more when you attach your components, it's best to use as long a piece of thread as you're comfortable with so that you can avoid having to weave in a lot of thread ends. (Starting and ending new threads can fill up those bead holes pretty fast!)
If you're not comfortable using a long length of thread, consider leaving longer tails when you add new thread that you can use to attach your design components later in the process.
Are you having fun yet? One of the reasons I love these particular techniques for beaded jewelry design using herringbone stitch and right-angle weave is that they open up a whole world of possibilities!
If you want to brush up on your basic right-angle weave and herringbone stitch bead-weaving techniques, look no further than The Best of Step-by-Step Beads 2010 special issue. You'll find dozens of fantastic, easy bead-weaving projects using right-angle weave, herringbone stitch, peyote stitch, and more that are just right for when you need to do a little beading on a spectacular project, but you don't have a lot of time. For a limited time, you can get your copy of The Best of Step-by-Step Beads 2010 for only $3 and keep your bead-weaving skills sharp!
Come back on Friday, March 1, for the final installment in Design Your Own Beaded Jewelry Week here on Beading Daily and learn a few techniques for attaching elements and embellishing your beaded necklace!
Bead Happy,
