To DMM 194/365: Heat
Life got really crazy the last couple days. There are events that happen in life that really put things into perspective. Things once thought to be important become insignificant and one realizes the value of close friendships and loved ones and how fleeting those things can be.
This is my "Heat" entry to the 2009 Photo Challenge hosted by photochallenge.org.

Responding to heroin's reach
My heart goes out to the parents of Luke Pulsifer, a victim of heroin addiction ("Communities aim to halt heroin's reach," Jan. 14).
Yet as I read the report, I noted how different the community response is to heroin addiction when compared to the crack cocaine epidemic years back. I wonder if that is because heroin has hit middle-class, suburban families, whose children are seen as having made a mistake, while crack cocaine hit urban areas, where victims are blamed.
How curious also that the response to crimes by these addicts is to not punish the addict with a criminal charge. This contrasts to the get-tough policy that led to the huge racial disparity in Wisconsin's prison population, many of whom are young African-American males struggling with addiction.
Finally, we have the media reporting. Why, if the heroin deaths outnumbered homicides in Milwaukee County, wasn't there earlier reporting on this? We can keep the illusion that there are no problems in the ring of wealth around the city, but that doesn't help parents keep their kids safe.
Every community has its challenges. Every parent coping with the addiction of a child cries, no matter where he or she lives.
Suzanne Zipperer
Impact study proposal disappointing
Apparently, I have officially become an angry, old white guy. I am disappointed by the column written by James E. Causey, "Legislation addresses mass incarceration," and equally disappointed in state Sen. Nikiya Harris for her proposed legislation (Perspectives, Jan. 15).
They say the police are targeting minorities because more minorities are being locked up for committing crimes. Harris says that three of her younger brothers have been entangled in the criminal justice web. Did Harris' brothers commit a crime or not? Is she suggesting that they should not be held accountable because they are black?
Causey, Harris and other like-minded individuals are the real problem. Their efforts should be directed at informing the community that thuggish, criminal activities have consequences, usually life-altering. Their anger should not be aimed at the laws enacted to protect society but at a segment of society that embraces and actually glorifies this behavior.
Teach children to be responsible, respectful and to follow the basic laws of society, and one will not have to worry about being incarcerated. Incarceration is not a badge of honor. Every person who uses illegal drugs or takes part in other criminal behavior made a choice. They knew what they were doing was wrong and that they would ultimately pay a price. That price can be devastating.
Harris compares her proposal to an environmental impact study. She wants to know what the ramifications will be to the black community when new criminal legislation is proposed. I can save us all a few million dollars; the impact for committing crime will be unpleasant, especially to the victim.

Republicans should walk their talk
Republican Sen. Glenn Grothman of West Bend and Rep. Mark Born of Beaver Dam have introduced legislation to allow a seven-day work week. They should set an example for Wisconsin workers by working seven days a week for a year without using time for campaigning or fundraising, and report back how successful they found this opportunity to "boost production." They need to walk their talk.
Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch states former Columbus Mayor Michael Eisenga's donations of $3,500 to him, and $7,500 to his wife, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefish, had nothing to do with Eisenga helping to draft a bill to lower his child support payments while he retains his $30 million estate ("Kleefisch agrees to pull child support bill," Jan. 15).
Does one really expect regular folks to believe this? Other Republicans say it's common for constituents to help draft legislation. Really? I would like to see a show of hands of citizens who have been asked to craft legislation that directly affects them without having some kind of political influence such as the American Legislative Exchange Council, mining companies and former mayors.
Republicans, walk your talk. Ask Eisenga's former wife for her input on the legislation her ex-husband wanted to create to disadvantage their children.
Mary Maronek
Laws for sale?
Why did Michael Eisenga give Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and her husband, state Rep. Joel Kleefisch, over $10,000? So Eisenga could write and then have Joel Kleefisch introduce his bill that could free Eisenga from some court-ordered child support ("Kleefisch agrees to pull child support bill," Jan. 15)?
And, this is probably not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Do you have at least $10,000 to give to get your own personally written bill introduced? No; you think this is not right? Is this what we want from our elected officials? Laws for sale? Public employees for sale? You choose in November. Enough is enough.

The True Sport LTAD Matrix
The True Sport LTAD Matrix identifies ethical literacy as a key component of the overall CS4L LTAD model. Sport is a valuable public asset, one that impacts the community as well as its citizens.
When sport is done right, these impacts have the potential to extend well beyond the commonly recognized health benefits associated with sport, including putting children and youth on a positive life course, building stronger and more inclusive communities, and contributing to economic and environmental sustainability. These benefits are realized when sport is good – when it is value-based and principles-driven. In Canada, we call good sport True Sport.

here is what i wanted to send them in the mail
i'll boycott your game as many serious racing gamers will: at a time where racing fans asked for HELMET VIEW for the game 'project cars' and got what they wished for, and awesomely at that, you drop the cockpit view? YOU JUST DROP IT? what do you think you're doing? MARIO GAMES? you think its just another car kind of addition to the game? i wanted to buy grid one reloaded AND grid2 afterwards, but i'm even reconsidering buying grid one right now. i'll stay polite, but know that, by denying that measly 5% players (which might have been serious racing gamers and not your 95% casual ones, but that's my supposition) you advertise that your game is for kids and casual gamers. NOT MY KIND OF DAY ONE BUY. you lost gamers, idiots. who do you think buys dlc casual games or serious, passionate ones with a steady income? well, news flash: those love their cockpit view and drool at the mere thought of helmet views. denying this view to gamers deprives you of all the credit you have been building with the cars handling and physics you took so much time and money trying to recreate. Its like you don't know what your public is. you advert a pro racing definitely not arcade game but reject the one view that permits immersion. oh and by the way, what could SO PRICEY that you rather sacrifice potential buyers? enjoy your 4th place on the racing game podium: no one talks about the 4th positon in a race.
now here what i found on the forums:
With regards to cockpit view, a statement from Executive Producer Clive Moody
We've heard a lot of your thoughts and opinions regarding the lack of cockpit view in GRID 2. To better explain our decision Executive Producer Clive Moody has this to say.
"First of all, it's important to say that every design decision we make is done with a lot of careful consideration and not taken lightly. We're acutely aware of the love there is for GRID in our community and we want to deliver the best possible experience for everyone.
There seems to be some confusion about where we get our data from to help us make these decisions. While we do use research and focus groups, the most important data source for us is the enormous amount of telemetry data we can obtain from our servers that tells us exactly how and what our players are doing across all our games. So it's not a case of just a sample of people we've spoken to in research, it's a fact that only 5% of Codemasters Racing game players ever used the in-car view.
We certainly don't want to alienate any of our fans we want to deliver truly exciting features that 100% of our players will enjoy. Videogame development is always about trade-offs and in this case, taking the hard decision to lose the in-car views for 5% of our players (and remember we still have bonnet cam and bumper cam, which many people with racing wheels use), is something we felt was more beneficial to everyone. They are expensive to run due to the requirement for high-resolution interior textures which are seen close-up and require a considerable amount of in-game memory (to store) and processing (to render).
What this means in practice is that the benefit to our vehicle models, environment models and the hundreds of other things in the environment sapping memory, is huge. By making this educated call, we can use the extra available memory to make the on-track racing a truly mind-blowingly immersive experience.
For example, we can author and run higher resolution vehicle models with more detailed geometry. We can feature higher resolution external vehicle textures and work further detail into our environment textures. We can dedicate more processing power to our improved physics systems, integral to the GRID 2 experience, and push other systems to the next level, such as particles and real-time lighting. And there are many more benefits.
One final point to make is that we're at the tail-end of the current console generation. We're now incredibly familiar with the current hardware and have reached the point that we're getting EVERYTHING possible from it. We're dedicated to pushing GRID 2 to the next level, making it the definitive racing game on this generation of hardware. Dropping a lesser-used feature such as interior cam frees up the memory and processing power to push the more prominent systems to the next level is a tough decision but it's one we felt had to be made, for the benefit of the majority of players.
If you're still not convinced, all I ask is that you wait and see what we've got to show you. We've only scratched the surface of what we've got to show you on GRID 2 - there's lots more to coming in the months to follow and I genuinely think that you'll really enjoy it. Come and see for yourself at Eurogamer Expo.
Executive Producer Clive Moody"
once again it seems we have to pay for the consoles makers decisions about memory? i really hope they put way more ram in the consoles now. fuck i don't think they will for ps4 and xbox3

I concede your point about the Momentum being smaller...however I have tested both the HD598 and HD600/650. To me, I believe the reviewer is correct. The ear pad hole feels larger on the HD600/650.
If you have access to HD558/598 and HD600/650...a dimensional comparison would be greatly appreciated. Since the ear pad holes are asymmetric for all models, two dimensions for each would
be preferred. I actually am interested in the HD598 in fact for its fun sound signature. But because of my big ears, I am more inclined to go with the HD600/650 because again my perception agrees with the link I provided.
So, if you could perform this dimensional comparison, it would be most helpful to those of us with bigger ears seeking a comfortable fit.
Many thanks.

Final curtain call for the irritating Go Compare opera singer? Gio Compario is killed off by Wimbledon presenter Sue Barker in the company's latest advert
It may well be one of the most irritating marketing campaigns ever.
And if you find yourself quickly jumping for the remote every time the loud operatic voice of Gio Compario starts singing 'Go Compare' on your TV screen it appears you are not alone.
Even the company has finally tired of the adverts and finally pulled the plug on Gio Compario - by having him killed off by Wimbledon host and former tennis player Sue Barker.
Scroll down to watch video
Grabbing the remote: A mystery viewer quickly turns off their TV when the Go Compare advert comes on
Prepared: They quickly grab a large case before heading out the door to go in hunt of Gio Compario
Undercover: The person dressed all in black then heads up the stairs of an abandoned building with the large case
The latest ad - aired for the first time during a Coronation Street break on ITV last night - shows a mystery TV viewer furiously grabbing for the remote as the Go Compare advert appears on their screen.
They then pick up a large case before leaving their home in search of the Go Compare frontman played by Welsh singer Wynn Evans.
After finding a prime spot in a deserted building overlooking Gio Compario serenading some homeowners the masked assain puts together a rocket launcher.
The unsuspecting tenor continues singing to a unsuspecting couple as his killer takes aim and fires the huge rocket.
Unsuspecting: Gio Compario catches a couple unaware as he starts performing Go Compare
In sight: The balaclava-clad killer assembles a rocket launcher and locks on to Gio Compario
Taking aim: The killer then prepares to fire upon Gio Compario
Closing in: Gio Compario continues singing as his killer prepares to shoot
When the killer realises they hit the target perfectly they peel off their mask - to reveal grinning Wimbledon TV presenter Sue Barker.
The advert comes on the back of a series of graffiti-adorned billboards across the country that mock the singer by covering the word Compare in Go Compare with 'jump off a bridge'.
A Go Compare spokesman said: ''Gio is very important to us, but we realise there are some people that don't love him in quite the same way that we do.'
The billboard campaign has been slammed by a suicide charity for trivialising suicide.
The billboards - spotted in Manchester, Gillingham and London - show fictional character Gio Compario with antenna drawn on him and an arrow through his head.
Big blast: Smoke flows out of the rocket launcher after being fired
Gone with a bang: A stunned couple look on at the spot where Gio Compario was standing that is now just a large crater
Other defaced billboards say 'just go', 'go and get another job' and 'go and get some singing lessons'.
Suicide charity Samaritans have blasted the adverts and said they are 'not helpful' and 'trivialise' such a serious issue.
A Samaritans spokesperson said: 'Suicide is a serious issue and trivialising it through adverts, such as this one, is not helpful and can intrude into the shock and grief of those bereaved by suicide.'
But a spokesman at GoCompare.com called the marketing campaign 'fun' and dismissed any idea that the posters could be offensive.
He said: 'We are running a poster campaign at the moment in relation to our new TV ad.
'Gio is very important to us, but we realise there are some people that don't love him in quite the same way that we do.
Unlikely killer: Wimbledon presenter and former tennis player Sue Barker then reveals herself by removing her balaclava
Relief: Delighted Sue Barker smiles at the demise of Gio Compario
Controversial: The Go Compare billboard campaign led up to the TV advert
'It is a fun campaign and, as the reaction on Twitter shows, that's exactly how people are responding to it.'
But despite the latest advert it seems unlikely that this will be the last we will see of Gio Compario first brought to our screen in 2009.
Advertising agency Dare won Go Compare's £28 million account in February this year but at the time said the charcter Gio would continue to feature in its adverts.
Nick Hall, Gocompare's head of marketing, said: 'Gio is a phenomenon and he is here to stay. He has helped us become one of the most recognised brands in the UK and has been responsible for driving our rapidly growing business over the past few years.
'We are now moving into a new stage of the character's development and we are really looking forward to working with Dare on our creative strategy.'

Boom! It was bound to happen eventually, but the Seahawks finally have extended free safety Earl Thomas to a long-term deal. According to Ian Rapoport, the new contract will make him the highest paid safety in the NFL:
The #Seahawks have locked up star safety Earl Thomas to a blockbuster long-term extension, source says. Easily the highest-paid safety.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 28, 2014
Prior to Thomas' extension, the highest paid safety in the league was Eric Berry of the Kansas City Chiefs with $8.4 million in base salary. ET's new deal tops Berry's by a nice margin. Rapoport followed up with contract details a short while ago:
With his new deal, Earl Thomas is the game's first $10M per year safety & highest-paid DB on a multi-year deal. Contract up when he's 29.

He will play out the last year of his current deal before starting the new one, which gives the Seahawks some bonus cap flexibility for 2014. Thomas has played four years with the Seattle Seahawks, tallying 253 tackles and 15 interceptions. How do you feel about the news, Earl?
We're excited too.
Here's a highlight reel.

Dick's Sporting Goods Beats Q2 Projections, But Struggling Golf Sales Cut Into Profits
Published August 20, 2014
IN THE ROUGH: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Sara Germano writes with Dick's "reeling from a monthslong decline in sales, mounting inventories and little recovery in participation rates" in golf, the retailer expects the category to "fall to about 10% of its business over the next three to four years from 15% today and 20% a few years ago." The company yesterday said that nearly "two-thirds of Golf Galaxy's store leases will end in the next three years and that it might close underperforming locations" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 8/20). In Pittsburgh, Teresa Lindeman notes Dick's management "conceded that profit margins were hurt by clearance deals that boosted sales." Stack: "We got very promotional from a golf standpoint to drive traffic in" (PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 8/20). At presstime, shares of Dick's were trading at $44.68 per share, up 1.1% from the close of business on Tuesday (THE DAILY).

Apparel and Nutrition Companies Launch Joint Venture for Sun Safety Awareness
Sun protection and sun safety are the common elements as Solar Eclipse Sun Protective Clothing and Applied Health Solutions combine efforts to focus on sun health, in recognition of "Don't Fry Day" (National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention).
This announcement has been purposefully timed for kick-off with "Don't Fry Day" (May 25, 2012), designated by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention (NCSCP) as a public day of sun health awareness and personal sun safety.
The educational purpose of "Don't Fry Day" coincides with the combined efforts and determined goals of Solar Eclipse and Applied Health Solutions to educate and provide sun protective products for the public, while promoting sun safety and health.
Bill Evans, President of Applied Health Solutions:
"Solar Eclipse and Applied Health have started this joint project with a lot in common. Both are located in Scottsdale, Arizona and in business since 1995 (SE) and 1997 (AHS). However, the truly unifying interest and what brought these two companies together was the common heart-ache they share.
Mary-Kay McCormick, President of Solar Eclipse:
"The owners of Solar Eclipse and Applied Health have personally lost loved-ones to melanoma. Melanoma and other skin cancers are tender subjects for all involved, but the painful realities have energized our common purpose of teaching the public about sun health and sun protection. We hope others can avoid the painful heartache of losing loved-ones way too early, due to such horrific skin diseases.
"Though, sun protection is important all year long, this time of year is particularly crucial, as many winter-weary sun seekers begin to hit the beaches, lakes, mountains - anything outdoors."
About Applied Health and Solar Eclipse sun safety products:
Besides educational material, Applied Health has now added the available Solar Eclipse clothing items to the Applied Health website, and will soon be adding the children's items, as well. Watch for that announcement, because the youngest among us, who do not yet know the dangers of too much sun exposure, are especially vulnerable.
Bill Evans says, "Applied Health will continue to add qualified sun-protective clothing and other items, once they have passed the rigorous testing required to be approved for sale. As inhabitants of the Southwest desert, and personally, as an avid outdoor enthusiast, we have ample opportunity to stress new products to find the points of failure. In addition, our intimate perspective on the potential realities that can occur from repeated overexposure helps drive us to develop better techniques and products for protection.
"It is crucial that every individual takes personal responsibility and a proactive stance to protect themselves from the harsh results of too much sun exposure. Without a proactive stance, the most challenging result may be skin cancer. At the very least, and at an early age, overexposed skin will soon show the weathered signs of premature aging.
"Not only do we (AHS; SE) want to inform people about the dangers of too much sun exposure, we must also provide products that offer reliable sun-protection. By doing so, everyone can be outdoors - enjoying nature, with confidence - knowing they are practicing sun-safe habits."
Bill reminds everyone to watch for future tips and techniques from Applied Health and Solar Eclipse to help you improve your sun safety habits, helping save your skin (and your eyes) from harmful overindulgence to UVA/UVB exposure. In support of the NCSCP's "Don'

Understand the Process
You can't simply have a well drilled wherever you wish to place it, there must be an adequate water supply in the area. Drill in the wrong spot, and you could end up with a low yielding or dry well and a very expensive project that will essentially go to waste. Whether your home is a new construction project or you want to place a well on land where you already reside, it's important to know how the groundwater locating process works. You'll need to know the approximate depth and amount of water in the location where you want to put your well. Understanding geology and hydrology are a big help, but you can also learn basic information about groundwater systems that can prove to be very valuable.

Rain [Light Novel & Manga]
Also, seaghyn16 doing the translation on his site here. Be sure to pay him a visit :) The novel is out until volume 9 and the manga is on volume 2 or 3.
is this novel already end?
^ no, not yet, the latest one is volume 9, like I mentioned above. And, the manga already reached volume 6 it seems.
Ehhh the LN is being translated didn't know about that and I'd been following this for some time.
Will need to check it out, really like this series, it's very good.
Rain's a great MC, as he's one of the few really strong MCs you'll find plus backed with a great personality.
Hoping to see more scans soon, I've had a look at the raws and looks like pretty good stuff to come.
that mean not for long after the novel get published manga adaption show up too.
that show how interesting this story at least for the publisher!
Yeah, the manga out monthly and it's already 35 or so chapters, it's out since 3 years ago so you can say it's not so new, plenty of materials for scanlations we can look forward to :D.
Hmm, I've been wondering, but how far in the manga have people actually read?
I have read up to Chapter 8 of the manga. (Chapter 9 seems too epic to have the story stop half-way through.)
If anybody has read past chapter 9, in the japanese raws, did you read the japanese, or just enjoy the artwork, and try to garner the storyline from that?
(PS: 44% of chapter 3 finished, that means only 56% more to go...yay!)
@Bonta Kun
The LN is being translated? By whom?
Ahhh, haha, thx for translating... Gonna dive into the novels...
@deathcoy: you should, if you like story with no wimpy weaky useless MC you're in the right place. :p
Chapter 4 has been finished and updated.
If you don't rememeber the site, it's in the link in my sig.
Wow, glad other people are liking this! I've loved the manga back when only the first two chapters were translated and had no idea it was based off of a light novel! Wonderful!
Since this is a discussion thread, the one thing I was shocked about that I wasn't sure whether they address is the part where:
thankyou for your translations seaghyn ^^
i look forward 2 your works
So considering the weekly activity going on with scanslation updates --
I thought I'd try to breathe some life back into this thread! Joe! King of Heroes!
^^ ya i really hope someone or some team of translators pick this one up...really love the manga but would love to read the novel too in english : D. The light novel is so far ahead of the manga...too bad i cant read or speak japanese : (
anyway thank you very much to the translators so far keep it up.
how is the novel going? heard the Author writing this through Email Subscription and it is taking a long time to finish.
Finally the manga's being regularly updated and we're almost up to date.
Can't wait for Sylvia's debut in the manga~ As well as the Vampire Master side story volume to be translated <3
How many chapters of manga have been serialized anyway?
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:14.

RIAA Loses Big in Captiol v. Foster, Forced to Pay Attorney Fees
It's been a while since we have talked about RIAA's legal strategy of suing folks for alleged infringement, but this week brough some good news. Ray Beckerman reports on his block hat the Judge in Capitol v. Foster has awarded the defendant legal fees to the tune of $68 thousand dollars after tossing out the RIAA's case with prejudice, and subsequent appeal.
Zune DRM Cracked
Wired and others are carrying the story that Microsoft's ZUNE DRM has been cracked. Proving again, that just about any DRM scheme will be cracked sooner or later.
Awesome Anti-DRM T-shirts
TorrentFreak has announced the winners of their anti-DRM t-shirt contest. You can order shirts printed with the designs, or you can download the source files and print your own. The winners are strikingly effective designs and are a great way to get people thinking about DRM—I just ordered #3 for myself. Kudos to all 50 of the entering artists for taking the time to apply their skills to help communicate this important message, and congratulations to the winners!
Behind-The-Scenes Look at How DRM Becomes Law from Cory Doctorow
This afternoon Information Week published a great article by Cory Doctorow about how big corporations and shadowy associations and working groups collude to develop DRM schemes and the laws that mandate them.
The piece is very long, and very good. Everyone who is interested in this sort of thing should give it a read and then tell your friends and family about it.
Here is a choice excerpt from the beginning:
HMV joining online DRM Free MP3 Sellers
HMV seems like the latest big name to join the DRM Free MP3 sales market. Looks like they plan to undercut iTMS in an attempt to increase sales.
HMV and other bricks and mortar music stores haven't been doing so well of late as sales of physical CDs have been dropping.
Apple iPhone and DRM
The iPhone hype hides a basic problem with the product – Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) inside the iPhone means that it wont be under your control. Apple has built this "smart" phone to dumb you down. They also want you to switch your cell phone service to AT&T – who collaborated with the National Security Agency (NSA) in its massive, illegal program to wiretap and data mine Americans' communications.
FSF Releases GPLv3, Strikes Blow Against Tivoization (like the iPhone)
Today the FSF announces the release of the GPLv3. The announcement coincidentally is on the same day as Apple's much awaited iPhone release.
As the GPLv3 press release states:
"Tivoization" is a term coined by the FSF to describe devices that are built with free software, but that use technical measures to prevent the user from making modifications to the software—a fundamental freedom for free software users—and an attack on free software that the GPLv3 will put a stop to.
Early Results Are In: DRM Free Music Sells!
ArsTechnica reports thatEMI's DRM Free tracks on iTMS Plus are selling VERY well with double and triple digit percentage increases. As ArsTechnica points out, some of the increase could be a result of users looking to upgrade already purchased tracks, but that still means that users are willing to pay the extra 30 cents to loose the DRM.
EMI execs are expressing confidence that the trend will continue, and other labels are considering joining them, probably when more data has come in.
The most popular free software license - the GNU GPL - will combat DRM
Last week the Free Software Foundation announced that version 3 of the GNU GPL (GPLv3), will be released on June 29th.
On this date many thousands of free software projects will start to switch to this license. And GPLv3 is squarely aimed at defeating DRM.
Many corporations use GPL covered works to build their products. The successful adoption of GPLv3 will help limit DRM to those products built with proprietary software. Those products will be less attractive to consumers, more expensive, and less useful.
Free The BBC Site launched
Binary Freedom just launched FreeTheBBC.info with an open letter to the BBC regarding their decision to use proprietary formats and DRM despite overwhelming public comment early this year in support of open formats and content free of DRM.
AnywhereCD and Warner Settle
A few months back, AnywhereCD launched offering a new service, buy a physicals cd AND get the digital download immediately. Anywhere made deals with numerous record companies, including Warner. Shortly after launch, Warner cried foul. The lawsuits started flying.
This week brings news of a settlement. Under the terms, you can get your warner CDs and MP3 from AnywhereCD until September.
Jeremy Allison on DRM not ever working
Just read a good piece by Jeremy Allison over on ZDNET. Why DRM won't ever work is a good explanation of the fundamental flaws with the concept and implementation of DRM. It is a great piece to share with folks who don't understand DRM.
DRM Free Clasical Music Downloads
The Christian Science Monitor has a good article about classical music without DRM.
The article makes the point that digital sales of classical music are pretty high and that classical music fans are willing to spend money on digital music sales for larger files.
Industry figures are hopeful that dropping copy protection – thus allowing for big, clear-sounding and noncompressed audio files – will generate even stronger interest in classical downloads.
TIME on DRM
Time Magazine ran an article last week about DRM. It gets alot right, and speaks in non geek terms:
Off the record, most executives--on the technology side at least--will tell you that DRM is a dinosaur that's waiting for the asteroid to hit. It's just a matter of when the music industry will stop assuming its customers are all criminals.
DRM Elimination Crew Hits The Streets
On Friday, DefectiveByDesign members hit the streets to tell the public about Disney, DRM and the Intellectual Property Protection Act 2007 (IPPA2007).
In Boston a large group composed of DefectiveByDesign members, and activists from FreeCulture.org and BinaryFreedom.info gathered, at Boston's main cinema on Boston Common.
IPPA Disney DRM Fact Sheet
We created this fact sheet (PDF)for use at May 25th Actions around the world. Download your own copy, print some out and give them to friends.
Amazon to sell music without DRM
Another nail in the coffin for DRM on digital music downloads. Amazon officially announced this week that it will sell digital music without DRM in the MP3 format (which still is proprietary and covered by software patents).
FSF Launches PlayOgg.org
Alberto Gonzales Not Satsified with destroying Department of Justice...
On Monday the disgraced Attorney General Alberto Gonzales who has done a pretty good job of destroying the reputation of the Justice Department announced that he wants to destroy computer users rights by proposing laws to protect "intellectual property".
HBO wants us to stop using "DRM"
But they don't want to drop the restrictions! Earlier this week an HBO Executive, Bob Zitter, caught alot of flack in the blogosphere (and rightly so) for suggesting the only problem with DRM is the name, and that renaming the same restrictions "Digital Consumer Enablement" would solve the problem.
We like to point to a quote from a Disney exec from a ways back "If the consumer even knows there is a DRM we've lost." And by all accounts, they've all lost! Through the work of groups like ours, we have informed users about DRM. And now they don't want it.
ArsTechnica Looks at RIAA and RICO
In a detailed article, ArsTechnica looks at whether or not the RIAA could be tried under the RICO statutes that have typically been used to prosecute organized crime.
And the conclusion:
BBC Chooses DRM
Earlier this week Boing Boing covered the BBC Trusts poor decision to opt for proprietary formats and DRM in their online offerings. Ars Technica has a good article on the decision. If you are a UK resident, you should continue to make your displeasure with DRM known to BBC.
Over 1200 Signers to Bronfman Letter
In a little over 2 days over 1200 people have signed the open letter to Edgar Bronfman, Jr. of Warner Music.
Spread the word to your friends or sign it today if you have not yet. We'll be sending it out Friday afternoon.
EFF on the Legal Issues Surrounding the AACS Encryption Key
The EFF has a good article on the legal issues surrounding the AACS encryption key that made such a stir on Digg earlier this week.
Dell to Offer Computers without Microsoft OS
A while back I pointed folks to Dell's IdeaStorm website where they were soliciting feedback from customers about what products they offered. Overwhelmingly people wanted Dell machines with GNU/Linux operating systems.
Dell has announced that they will now offer systems with GNU/Linux operating systems preloaded.
The Economist Comes Out Against DRM
Over the weekend, BoingBoing called my attention to The Economist's editorial about DRM.
Here are some highlights:
Most people think it ludicrous that they can't do the same with the DVDs they own. Now it seems, despite squeals from the movie industry, the law is finally moving in the video fan's favour.
Digg Users Revolt Over DRM Encryption Key
Congratulations to the Digg users who revolted against the censorship of a number today. Digg took down stories that featured the DRM encryption key for HD DVD encryption. Digg users then started reposting it until the entire front page of Digg was covered with the story and each one had thousands of Diggs.
After tens of thousands of diggs on multiple stories, Digg has decided to stop fighting it.
Wired on EBooks
Wired has a good blog post up about ebooks and how DRM has stymied adoption, "The why of that has many faces, but DRM plays its part. Taking a historically commonplace form of expression, freely portable in its traditional format, and turning it into an ephemeral, hardware-specific, proprietary service?"
Jobs: Apple Customers Don't Want to Rent Music
There has been some recent chatter on the internet about the possibility of Apple introducing a subscription based service. Steve Jobs may have just put that speculation to rest:
"Never say never, but customers don't seem to be interested in it," Jobs told Reuters in an interview after Apple reported blow-out quarterly results. "The subscription model has failed so far."
This was reported on CNN.

Salary range: £31,033 to £39,142 pa depending on experience.
An exciting Software Development opportunity has become available working with Dr Serena Nik-Zainal on several projects, including the clinical study INSIGNIA, which forms part of the research initiative COMSIG.
The COMSIG consortium, funded by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award is focused on exploring the mutational signatures of DNA damage and repair processes. This includes work performed across a range of model organisms (yeast, worm), as well human studies such as INSIGNIA, which are a key focus for Dr Nik-Zainal's team. As part of this we are generating human iPSC lines from patients with germline mutations in DNA repair/replication pathways and generating parallel CRISPr/CAS-9 edited iPSC lines of the same genes. The over-arching objective is to explore mutational signatures in the context of the biological mechanisms associated with DNA repair, by integrating cellular/molecular approaches with genome-wide assays including genomic sequencing, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq.
The successful candidate will be embedded in a multidisciplinary team and will be tasked with developing a public web and database resource for mutation signatures.
The role involves working closely with scientific and IT staff on the project to develop this new public resource, which will hold a central public listing of known Mutation Signatures. Specifically, this will involve developing a website to query and mine the catalogue of known Mutation Signatures and developing the compute back-end infrastructure to allow users to run their datasets over in-house signatures detection software.
The position would suit a Software/Web Developer Developer who enjoys developing web resources to store, display and mine complex biological datasets. We are looking for an individual who enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary team environment to help solve complex IT issues which will ultimately aid our understanding of mutation processes.
Essential Skills
- Good degree in Bioinformatics, IT or Computer Science.
- Web development using Perl, Java, HTML(5), CSS, JavaScript
- Experience of VMware, OpenStack or Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- ORACLE/MySQL/NoSQL databases

Ideal Skills
- Developing secure web applications
- Experience of handling Next Generation sequencing data
- Experience of statistical analysis in a bioinformatics
- Experience of workflow management IT systems
- Scripting skills in Python
- LSF or Open Grid scheduling software
- Experience working, developing and compiling software tools in a UNIX/LINUX environment.
- Experience of working in an Agile Software Development Group
- Background in cancer genetics

These are gleanings from fourteen years of serious Buddhist practice spent, not in India or at Spirit Rock, but in my home town of San Diego. These are the insights that gave me the joy of savoring and nourishing the spiritual growth in my life, while I brought an end (May 2007) to a half-century of political activism, came to serve as a Spiritual Care Counselor at UCSD Medical Center (May 2008-present), joined my life with a new partner and a fellow practitioner (April 2006) and six years later separated from her with mutual love and respect (March 2012), both of us having learned in that time the art of practicing more deeply and effectively with darkness and suffering whenever they would arise from the depths of Little Cynthia or Little Bettina (e.g. October 2009, June 2010, December 2012). In these years, I found peace with memory loss and with a recurring and disturbing condition (similar to depression, but induced by a sinus reaction) of sloth and torpor (e.g. January 2006, April, July and December 2007, December 2008). I came to discover the possibilities for spiritual growth in what felt like obstacles to practice, and ever more profoundly I came to experience how what we call enlightenment or awakening is indeed our natural state.
The separation of First Gleanings and More Gleanings occurred because in the last months of 2008 I felt myself descending into an unusually persistent and relentless state of sloth and torpor that I found unmanageable. I had difficulty walking across a room or remembering why I was walking. I felt I had come to the end of "thinking" and though I learned to practice with it (December 2008) and continued recording gleanings as they emerged, I closed the possibility of sharing them online in this way. The memory loss has continued, and I have befriended it in deep ways (October 2013). Daily yoga, which I had begun in September 2008, has greatly reduced the sloth and torpor, allowing me to send More Gleanings, New Gleanings and now Final Gleanings into the world.
Final Gleanings brings to a close, not my practice, but the impulse to record the insights it affords me, for reasons I try to share in the Coda. In 2015 my practice helped me to resolve a separation Ive felt from companion animals (July) and opened up deeper experiences of emptiness and form (September-December).
So I offer up these fourteen years of my practice life, with no idea whether or how or to whom they may be nourishing. They are simply an expression of my gratitude for and devotion to a practice that has been life transforming for me.
Note: First Gleanings and More Gleanings each has her own foreword.

Composer and pop singer Harry Nilsson was best-known for such hits as "Everybody's Talkin'," "Without You," "Me and My Arrow," and "Coconut." Over his career, Nilsson wrote songs for a number of groups including the Monkees ("Cuddly Toys"), Three Dog Night ("One"), and other groups. In film, Nilsson composed the score for Skidoo (1968). His version of "Everybody's Talkin'" was used as the title track for Midnight Cowboy (1969). In 1971, Nilsson composed the score for the children's animated television film The Point, which provided the hit "Me and My Arrow." A longtime friend of the Beatles, particularly John Lennon, Nilsson starred as Count Down opposite Ringo Starr in the musical horror spoof Son of Dracula (1974). In 1980, he scored the film Popeye.

#1: Sardines. Maybe you've had grilled salmon, but sardines are also full of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. A sweet bell pepper sauce adds some extra flavor in this recipe for Grilled Fresh Sardines. Or simply grill them for 3 minutes on each side and squeeze some lemon juice on top. When grilling smaller foods like these fish, Joachim suggests using some specific gear, such as a grill tray.
#2: Pizza. Make the switch from traditional oven to outdoor grill for your pizza, and you'll wonder why you never tried it before. The technique is simple; throw the raw dough on the grill and build your pizza from there for a smoky, crunchy texture. Because of the dry high heat, you get a nice and crispy, dehydrated crust, says Joachim. "[Oven] pizza stones absorb the moisture for you to create this in your oven, but it happens on its own on the grill." Check out this bare bones Grilled Pizza Recipe for details.
#3: Caesar Salad. Who would think to introduce this crisp, cool side dish to flame? Grilled Caesar Salad isn't as crazy as it sounds. Tossing your greens on the grill opens up new flavors unattainable through any other method. For the texture you lose when grilling vegetables, you get a return in developed flavors, Joachim says. "Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars, which boiling, steaming, or microwaving doesn't," he adds. "Particularly with grilled vegetables like radicchio, the natural sugars released with grilling balance the bitterness."
#4: Doughnuts. Doughnuts are a great anytime treat, but char-marked glaze makes these fried cakes even more addicting. "When you taste a doughnut that's been grilled, it's so different-tasting because the glazed sugar caramelizes instantly," adds Joachim. Make your own, or bring a pre-bought box grill-side. About 15 seconds of flame time on each side is enough. "The heat puffs out doughnuts like they just came out of the fryer, and the carmelization is unexpected and delicious," he says.
#5: Oysters. Oysters may not be your first thought when it comes to grill time, but Joachim has an open-flame Cajun approach to cooking these shellfish. He suggests topping half-shelled oysters with Romano cheese, parsley, garlic, butter, and Creole seasonings. The cheese will quickly start to brown around the outside of the shell. "It doesn't cook all the way though, it just warms up", he says.
#6: Oatmeal Cookies. For an outdoor-dinner-party dessert, why get stuck in the kitchen when you can grill up a batch of homemade cookies? Joachim uses a perforated baking sheet and drops raw dough down for a quick bake. "Since grilling enhances a little bit of smoke flavor, we add to that by incorporating bacon," he says. The fat, sugar, and salt flavor trifecta creates multidimensional layers of flavor to this dessert. Your grill can go from dinner to dessert cooking by shifting the coals for heat control. "Adjust the temperature, and leave the half of the grill where your food sits unheated," Joachim says. "This allows for heat circulation much like a home oven." Try it with your own favorite cookie recipes, or see Flavor First to get Joachim's precise cookie/bacon alchemy.
#7: Goat Cheese. Grilled goat cheese is another strange yet delicious addition to your backyard cooking repertoire that you'll wish you'd tried sooner. Since, amazingly, this cheese won't melt, Joachim suggests heating it in a grill pan, and taking it off heat as soon as a light char starts to form. Pair the cheese with crackers and fruit for a new take on a favorite appetizer; dress it with a spicy sauce and balsamic vinegar syrup for a real kick.
