CBS makes stronger case for Letterman / Network is focusing on 10 p.m. slot for fall
An already strong CBS looks to have bolstered its lineup, at least on paper,
and might even have addressed part of David Letterman's lingering grievances, as the network announced its new fall season Wednesday in New York.
In the process CBS added to a growing trend: San Francisco as a desirable backdrop for new television series.
The network added five new dramas and two comedies to its schedule at the annual "upfront" presentation to advertisers. The new lineup puts four of those five dramas in the 10 p.m. slot, which should partly appease Letterman, who figures stronger shows in that time period will lead to more viewers staying for the local news across the country, which in turn would help his late-night show.
Richard Dreyfuss became the latest big-screen casualty who couldn't make it on television, as CBS axed "The Education of Max Bickford." Also cut loose were James Garner's "First Monday" (which ends TV's Supreme Court fascination, since ABC already killed Sally Field's "The Court"), "That's Life," "Family Law" (see-ya, Tony Danza) and the already dead or presumed dead "Ellen Show," "Citizen Baines," "Wolf Lake" and "Danny."
Surprising (and ludicrous) minor hit "Baby Bob" will be returning to the lineup midseason.
A Sylvester Stallone-produced series about a Catholic priest didn't make the fall lineup or the midseason list, but CBS said the show was still in play and wasn't a victim of the Catholic Church controversies.
Of CBS' pedigree-impressive new additions for the fall, there's "Presidio Med," a hospital drama from the original producers of "ER," John Wells and Lydia Woodward. It will star Dana Delany, Blythe Danner, Anna Deavere Smith and Oded Fehr, among others and, yes, be set in the Presidio.
Oddly enough, "Presidio Med" will be going head-to-head Wednesday nights with "Meds," another San Francisco-based medical drama from ABC, so you'll have to choose your poison. Or "Law & Order."
The biggest news from CBS is already old news. The network will spin off its major hit, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" with "CSI: Miami," starring David Caruso, Emily Proctor ("West Wing") and Khandi Alexander ("ER," "The Corner," "NewsRadio").
The Eye network can boast two Jerry Bruckheimer additions for fall, a Michael Mann action series, a determined effort from the rejuvenated Wells and a midseason courtroom drama, "Queens Supreme," that stars Oliver Platt, Robert Loggia and Annabella Sciorra, is executive-produced by Julia Roberts and has a pilot directed by Tim Robbins.
The new series are:
"CSI: Miami," 10 p.m. Mondays. That's a good slot for viewers because it doesn't interfere with anything substantial, and it ought to be another built- in hit for CBS, given the "CSI" fan base. Shooting in Miami will give the series the opposite look of the original's Las Vegas locale, going from dark nights to sun-filled days.
"Presidio Med," 10 p.m. Wednesdays. This is a chance for Wells to reinvigorate a medical drama now that "ER" is all but played out. The cast is solid, and Wells seems motivated to reclaim the genre he helped refine.
"Without a Trace," 10 p.m. Thursdays. This Bruckheimer-produced series focuses on the FBI's Missing Persons Squad, which is charged with tracking down those who have disappeared, using all the latest technology, of course. It stars Anthony LaPaglia.
"RHD/LA," 10 p.m. Fridays. Yes, the acronyms are out of control in TV land. This one stands for Robbery and Homicide Division, Los Angeles. It comes from filmmaker Mann and is about solving ultra-high-profile crimes in the City of Angels. Tom Sizemore adds star appeal. Fridays on TV need all the help they can get, so why not?
"Hack," 9 p.m. Fridays. One of television's finest actors, Andre Braugher, gets another shot. He joins "St. Elsewhere" star David Morse in this drama about a decorated but disgraced cop (he took money from a crime scene) who becomes -- you guessed it -- a taxi driver. There he learns he can still fight crime on the sly. No word yet if this is feel-good or gritty.
"Bram and Alice," 8 p.m. Sundays. CBS is trying to build a comedy hour after "60 Minutes" to challenge Fox. The network went so far as to move "Becker" off of Mondays and put it after this show, which stars Alfred Molina and Traylor Howard as a famous grump of an author and his biggest fan -- who turns out to be his daughter. Hmmm. Dicey.
"Still Standing," 9:30 p.m. Mondays. This show gets the "Becker" slot and a cushy lead-in from CBS' hit Monday lineup. It's a family comedy without much distinction, but that hasn't stopped people from watching similar shows in the past.
-- Sunday: 7 p.m., "60 Minutes"; 8 p.m., "Bram and Alice"; 8:30 p.m., "Becker"; 9 p.m., "Sunday Night Movie"
-- Monday: 8 p.m., "King of Queens"; 8:30 p.m., "Yes, Dear"; 9 p.m., "Everybody Loves Raymond"; 9:30 p.m., "Still Standing"; 10 p.m., "CSI: Miami"
-- Tuesday: 8 p.m., "JAG"; 9 p.m., "The Guardian"; 10 p.m., "Judging Amy"
-- Wednesday: 8 p.m., "60 Minutes II"; 9 p.m., "The Amazing Race 3"; 10 p. m., "Presidio Med"
-- Thursday: 8 p.m., "Survivor"; 9 p.m., "CSI"; 10 p.m., "Without a Trace"
-- Friday: 8 p.m., "48 Hours"; 9 p.m., "Hack"; 10 p.m., "RHD/LA"
-- Saturday: 8 p.m., "Touched by an Angel"; 9 p.m., "The District"; 10 p.m. , "The Agency"

Summer Activities for the Adventurer
It's not surprising that swimming is known as one of the best summer activities. The activity is fun because of water. Pool water can both be an element that can calm or an element that can support entertaining games and activities. Swimming is also an excellent workout for the old and young, which is why it's a favorite summer activity. If you're an adventurer, you can swim in beaches you've never been before. You can also try to discover other pools with cool amenities (such as human-made wave pools) to make your summer more enjoyable. If you're going to swim in a public pool, though, it's best to check if the pool is maintained correctly. Pools that are cleaned regularly with pool cleaners don't have cloudy water and debris floating around.
Safari Tours
Experience the wildlife feels by taking a safari tour with the whole family this summer! Not only will your kids learn the lifestyle of wild animals, but they'll also have a great time with you. It's a must-try adventure for every family. Taking a safari guided tour is an excellent way to de-stress from the busy city life. Kids will definitely enjoy seeing wild animals in the flesh, especially since some of them are already endangered. Both adults and children can enjoy watching animals in their natural habitat.
This kind of activity also provides an opportunity to take pictures of beautiful and natural sceneries. There are so many stunning places which can be the subjects of your photos. Furthermore, taking a tour will also enable you and your family to meet new people and be friends with them. Tours also support wildlife rehabilitation and nature conservation. This means you won't only have fun, but you'll also be extending a helping hand to the wild animals and nature if you pay for a safari trip.
Be extra kind this summer by participating in a volunteering activity. Perhaps you could clean Tanzania national parks for free or other public areas in your town or country that needs the most cleaning. You can also volunteer to paint new classrooms, take care of kids, teach music for a week, and more. Volunteering isn't just an exciting adventure because of the new people you'll meet and the lessons you'll learn, but it'll also be self-fulfilling. I assure you, you'll feel better than before after volunteering.

I know summer is almost over, but I put together this collage of images that inspired me throughout this steadfast lovely summer.
*disclaimer* I don't own any of these photos, nor am I claiming too, I lost my list of the original photographers SO SORRY
This summer has been more than productive for me. I've worked and I've played and I've grown my hair out...or at least tried too. How's your summer been? We have a few more weeks till school and personally I'm trying to relish every single moment. Let me know if you like posts like this,
Have a great day and please,
keep it sassy,
P.S. It's my darling sisters Hayley's birthday
She turned 22 today and has been my best friend and roommate since day 1. Look forward to some more sister style posts and what not, it was also my other sister Devons birthday last week. SO MANY BIRTHDAYS, SO MUCH FUN.

Interview With
Devi Lockwood
1) You say on your website that you're interested in how and when an act of human speech becomes like a poem. Have you discovered any insights into this?
I am an auditory person. When I meet someone, the first thing I notice is the musicality of their voice––how they let the taste of a word linger on their tongue or send sentences flying into the ether. Breath. Intonation. Word choice. Sometimes my favorite thing to do is close my eyes and listen.
In my sophomore year at Harvard, I took a kick-ass course with Prof. Robin Bernstein called "Race, Gender, and Performance." This course introduced me to the work of Anna Deavere Smith, an actress, playwright, and professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts whose art inspires my own. Back in the 1980s, Deavere Smith began interviewing and recording stories from people across the United States, often around issues surrounding race in America. Then, using the exact wording of the recordings, she translated those interviews into performance pieces. These words come from her TED Talk: "Four American Characters":
So my grandfather told me when I was a little girl, "If you say a word often enough, it becomes you." And having grown up in a segregated city, Baltimore, Maryland, I sort of use that idea to go around America with a tape recorder — thank God for technology — to interview people, thinking that if I walked in their words — which is also why I don't wear shoes when I perform — if I walked in their words, that I could sort of absorb America. I was also inspired by Walt Whitman, who wanted to absorb America and have it absorb him.
Everything I do is word for word off a tape. And I title things because I think people speak in organic poems.
— Anna Deavere Smith (full transcript here)
"If you say a word often enough, it becomes you… people speak in organic poems." Anna Deavere Smith's way of reading the human voice has been instrumental in my own thinking about stories. We are, in other words, made of the words we give breath to––the very sentences we speak into existence.
The interplay between language and identity is at the core of the questions I want to ask of poetry. How do poetry and storytelling intersect?
I'm just now beginning to review the 421 stories that I have recorded in the last year of travel in the USA, Fiji, Tuvalu, New Zealand, and Australia. Aside from the obvious rhythm of accents, there's the beautiful moment that happens when each person's speech becomes, well, their own.
The words that we choose to use define us. Each and every one of us is the sum of many many stories. Poetry is inseparable from rhythm, and rhythm surrounds every breath.
2) Where you have found the most inspiration in your travels and story-hearing?
New Zealand was a transformational place for me — something about the intersection of artists and environmental activists made me feel almost instantly at home. I'm on my way back to NZ at the end of this month via container ship. While there, I plan to write a book proposal.
3) What will you do with all of these stories?
The plan is to make a map on a website where a visitor can click on a point and listen to a story someone has told me from that place.

In 2013, disadvantaged pupils out-performed non-disadvantaged pupils in terms of the 'value added' to their education. We were formally congratulated by David Laws, MP, for being in the top 100 schools in the country for added value for disadvantaged learners.
In 2014, the number of disadvantaged pupils achieving 5 GCSE grades at A* to C reached a school record level of 60%; 5% higher than the national performance of all students. This is a 6% improvement on the previous year and 35% better than 2012.
In 2015, we received a second commendation from David Laws for being 'increasingly effective' at improving the attainment and progress of our disadvantaged students (copy available here).
Ofsted noted that gaps in achievement between disadvantaged and other students are 'narrowing rapidly'. The gap in the percentage of students making expected progress in Maths narrowed by 18 percentage points in 2015. In English, the gap narrowed by two percentage points and, in Ofsted's words, has been 'all but eradicated'. However, the gap between the attainment of disadvantaged students and that of other students remains a pressing concern.
Our Action Plan for continuing to close these gaps, together with an evaluation of the impact of our Pupil Premium spending over the last academic year, is available here (updated June 2018).
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as 'Ever 6 FSM'). Schools also receive funding for children who have been looked after or adopted from care, as well as for children of service personnel.

London Mayor Boris Johnson, who scrapped the capital's 50 per cent affordable housing target for new schemes in 2008, has urged developers to increase the number of low-cost homes in their projects
Speaking at the MIPIM international property fair in Cannes, Johnson also demanded that the development world joined him in a 'new deal' to sell London homes to Londoners first.
He said: 'I'm looking to [the developers here] to help deliver 42,000 new homes a year. But I always want a higher quotient of affordable housing.'
He added: 'I do not in any way want to deter international investment - you can see astonishing transformation in London thanks to international investment – and I recognize the important economic contributions migrants make to our city.
'[But] you will understand however, I want Londoners to be able to live near where they work and to raise their families in our boroughs. I am therefore writing to ask you to sign up to my new Mayoral Concordat to promote home ownership for Londoners. This voluntary pledge recognises your commitment to market new homes first or first equal to Londoners. I hope your company can join other respected developers in giving this commitment.'
Speaking to the AJ about whether housing demand could be satisfied by building more tall buildings and converting more offices to homes he said: 'I am not viscerally hostile to tall building at all. In their place they can be beautiful.
'But it is very interesting the way they landmark the city and orientate you. The Shard is like a gnomon – it tells you where you are – it is an amazing thing.
'But you can't overdo it. You can't pepper pot buildings around. And they have to be outstanding buildings.
He added: 'I am keen on [office to homes] except where you lose office space. There are places [in the City] where you just cannot lose too much of your economic driver. You have to be a bit careful.'
Boris Johnson's keynote speech
I want to congratulate all of you on the nerve you have shown in coming here once again because there are people in Britain who say that coming to MIPIM is just a junket and a jolly and there is always a bit of a mystery about what exactly MIPIM stands for may I push you in the Med?, meet me in the pool in a minute?, but I know what it stands for making important property investments for millions of Londoners on modest incomes and let me explain what I mean.
Six years ago I first came here and there were people saying that London was facing the gravest threat to its global position for 50 years – or even more.
They said that the global banking crisis would cost us our position as the financial capital of the world. They said that international investment would dry up, and that buyers would go elsewhere and in my first MIPIM someone told me that the message for London was that everyone was off . It was a case of Shanghai, Mumbai, Dubai and bye bye bye bye London, they said – we're all off to Zurich or Zug or whatever.
Well look at us now. I don't think there is a period in the modern history of London when international confidence has been so high or when the money has arrived in such a torrent from overseas….
I came down to look at the headlines the other day and the Times was "Putin snubs west" and the Guardian was "Ukraine crisis deepens" and the Telegraph was "Ukraine on brink" and the FT – with a true sense of priorities said "Ukraine crisis boosts London property market". And yet we must also appreciate that there is a downside to this position – as the world's favourite city, as the number one destination for oligarchic billions. And that is the pressure it puts on the domestic market – even if the perception of that pressure, when you look at the whole of the London market, is greater than the reality.
It is still the case that overseas property sales in London are running at about six or seven percent – no more than where they were in 1990 and in spite of those appalling images of neglect from Bishop's Avenue, we have fewer empty homes in London than at any time since the 1970s.
But there can be no doubt that the cost of getting on the London housing ladder is higher than at any time in recent memory.
The sense of frustration is growing, and many people feel a sense of particular rage about one thing – that there are times when new homes in London are actually being marketed overseas before Londoners get a look in.
It cannot be right that people in great Asian capitals should be able to look at images of new London properties and put down cash – before Londoners even know that the opportunity is there. These homes are not there as a new kind of asset class, like old masters or diamonds or bullion. They are there as part of the living infrastructure of the city. Londoners depend on them. Our economy depends on them.
So I am pleased to announce today that 50 of London's leading property developers have agreed a concordat - That they will stop the practice of marketing London homes exclusively overseas and they will insist that all such homes should be offered first – or at least simultaneously – to the UK market. And of course it is up to us to do everything in our power to ensure that Londoners are in a position to get those homes.
I am proud to say that we have built 70,000 over this mayoralty, and we are on target to build a record 100,000 – and I serve notice that when I see these great new schemes I want the buoyancy in the market to be properly reflected by a reasonable proportion of affordable homes.
But what we should not do is turn up our noses at foreign money, when so often it is that investment that allows us to deliver so many of the homes that Londoners need. Would it really be sensible to reject investment from Qatar, when Qatari Diar is responsible for the Olympic village of which 50 per cent is affordable? Should we say goodbye to the Dutch and American pension funds that are helping us to develop Elephant and Castle? Should we say no to the investment from Malaysia that is enabling us to renovate and regenerate the whole of Battersea power station and the area around it? Absolutely not, ladies and gents.
What is the oldest continuously occupied building in London? The tower of London – and that building came stone by honey-coloured stone from France, from Caen, to be exact. Are we going to send it back to France on the grounds that it represents foreign investment that the Anglo-Saxons didn't exactly ask for? On the contrary, that building is now a major tourist attraction and stands for the city around it.
The answer is not to stick two fingers up to foreign investment – as I am urged to do by some people in London, but to harness that confidence to increase supply. We need 42,000 new homes a year, and we can do it, because we have the 33 opportunity areas, and we have the plans to trigger the development of those areas.
Let me give you a potted history of the future of London. Just in the next few years we are going to be launching or completing the following incredible transport projects:
- the Northern Line extension funded by Tifs
- Crossrail by 2018
- 2020 - a new tunnel at silvertown and further bridges to the east of Tower bridge
- 2028 - Crossrail two
- a new garden bridge that will transform the aldwych area
- extending the DLR and the Bakerloo line
- tunnelising the flyover at Hammersmith
Those schemes will help to unlock more housing – not for plutocrats, not for the uber-rich, but for the hundreds of thousands of Londoners who need it - and if you want examples of how transport infrastructure can make a difference look at what is happening at Old Oak or at the Olympic park or Greenwich or Croydon.
I flew over Paris last night by easyjet and I looked down and it looked pretty good I have to admit and my neighbour said well you can't make your usual joke about how London is the seventh biggest French city in the world and I said you are right..it's no longer the seventh or even the sixth it is now the fourth biggest French city on earth there are between 350,000 and 400,000 French men and women in London and how many Brits are there in Paris - 19,000! what does that tell us?
It tells us that London is winning on quality of life. We have better schools, we have better air quality we have beautiful bicycles everywhere and we are attracting some of the most talented people from around the world to take part in a rapidly changing and diversifying London economy. Our job is to build on that success, build on that confidence and use it to build hundreds of thousands of affordable homes for Londoners. That is what so many of you are doing here today. Thank you for your efforts. Let's go faster and thanks for listening.

As mentioned in my previous 100 Day Spending Ban weekly update, I placed an order on iHerb.com when there was a 20% off Real Techniques brushes. Main reason was to get my cousin a set of Travel Essentials, but I went a little - just a little - over-board and ordered a little more.
Note: use code JBF362 to get $5 to $10 off your first order off iHerb.com!
Hair Care and Deodorant
- Mane 'n Tail, Herbal Gro Shampoo, 12 fl oz (355 ml) $4.11 - I am enjoying the de-tangling spray I got in my last iHerb order, therefore decided to try out the shampoo. Mane 'n Tail is very expensive in local stores so I am glad I can get these from iHerb!
- Avalon Organics, Biotin B-Complex Therapy Thickening Shampoo, 14 fl oz (414 ml) $7.29 - My friend Hakme has raved about the Avalon Organics line on her blog (hair care/shower), and because I'm staying away from local pharmacies (I'm prone to buying skin care 'accidentally'), I decided to order a shampoo to try out.
- Alba Botanica, Clear Enzyme Deodorant Stick, Aloe Unscented, 2 oz (57 g) $4.37
- Jason Natural, Deodorant Stick, Purifying Tea Tree, 2.5 oz (71 g) $5.04 - Using this now, smells really refreshing of tea tree and doesn't irritate my arm-pit. :P
- Alvera, Aloe and Almonds, Roll-On Deodorant, 3 fl oz (89 ml) $3.84 - For Mr. A~
- Mineral Fusion, Volumizing Shampoo, 1.5 fl oz (44 ml) $2.72
- Mineral Fusion, Volumizing Conditioner, 1.5 fl oz (44 ml) $2.72 - The Mineral Fusion line is on sale so I decided to give these two a go. Perfect size for a short holiday. I'm vulnerable to anything volumizing, grow, or thickening when it comes to tresses, can't you tell?
- Zico, Pure Premium Coconut Water, 11.2 fl oz (330 ml) $1.90
- Naked, 100% Coconut Water, 11.2 fl oz (330 ml) $1.93 - Both of these are from Brazil green coconuts. I have never tried these before. Now that I have, I am not impressed. Our Asian coconuts are way more delicious, sweeter, better taste and 'smoother'. I bet this is a healthy way to quench thirst, well, not going to repurchase; we have better coconuts at this part of the world!
- Stash Tea Company, Premium, Herbal Tea Sampler, Caffeine Free, 9 Flavors, 18 Tea Bags, 1.0 oz (30 g) $2.37 - Tried a couple of flavours, the mint is really strong and uplifting, the passionfruit is fruity and adds a splash of good mood to a dull day. A great way to taste several flavours in 1 box before committing to larger quantity!
- Triple Leaf Tea, Blood Pressure, Caffeine-Free, 20 Tea Bags, 1.4 oz (40 g) $4.30 - For Mr. A.
- freebie - St. Dalfour Organic Spring Mint Green Tea - this taste fresh and nice, may repurchase!

Water Puppetry
About water puppetry in Vietnam
Water puppetry is a form of folk arts originating in the Red River Delta in the north of Vietnam, dating back in the 11th century. Many town and villages in Vietnam have communal ponds that are perfect stages for these impromptu performances, enhancing the widespread development of the art form. Presently, water puppetry is showed in a pool of water with the water surface being the stage.
Puppets are made of wood and then lacquered to be watertight and endurable. During performances, puppets are controlled via a pole-and string apparatus hidden under the water surface by puppeteers standing in waist-deep water behind the stage. While puppets play their roles according to the direction of puppeteers, singers of Cheo (a kind of traditional theater in Vietnam) sing songs to tell the story in words.
The theme of the play concentrates on the daily life of rural people and folklores that are imparted from generation to generation, not mention to stories of legends and national history. Above all, water puppetry created a relaxing space for rural citizens in the past; both watching and playing water puppetry was a good way for the local to entertain, escaping from their daily worries and hardworking life.
Through water puppetry plays, rural people also expressed their desire for a better life of prosperity and happiness. In current times, water puppetry has become a popular form of entertainment, especially for local children and foreigners who want to discover more about Vietnamese folk culture. Water puppetry is now frequently performed in puppet theaters in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and it is regret if you miss the chance to enjoy it.

We are all closely watching the recovery of Defensive End Dwight Freeney in anticipation of the competitive New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts Superbowl Showdown. Dwight is reportedly "coming along" with a sprained right ankle and will hopefully but ready for action on February 7th.
An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement at the joint between the end of the shin bones ("tibial plafond" and "fibula") and the ankle bone ("talus"). The most frequently seen sprain occurs when weight is applied to the foot when it is on an uneven surface, and the foot rolls over on the outside. Because the sole of the foot is pointing inward ("inversion" injury) as force is applied, the ligaments stabilizing the lateral - or outside - part of the ankle are stressed. Less commonly, the ankle can twist outward ("eversion" injury), resulting in injury to the other ligaments on the inside of the ankle joint ("deltoid" injury). The severity of the ankle sprain depends on whether the ligament is stretched, partially torn, or completely torn, as well as on the number of ligaments involved. Higher-grade injuries with complete disruption of the ligaments often result in an inability to bear weight on the leg and are accompanied by significant swelling and bruising around the ankle. Athletes will typically recall a specific traumatic event and will be focally tender to palpation along all of the injured ligaments on the inside and/or outside of the joint. Severe "inward" sprains ("inversion") may also injury the tendons on the outside of the ankle ("peroneal tendons") and even stretch and irritate the lateral nerves of the ankle and foot ("superficial peroneal nerve").
Any ankle sprain requires prompt medical attention. The sooner treatment starts for a sprained ankle, the greater the chance to prevent chronic pain and long term instability. Many of the problems resulting from sprains are due to a failure to recognize the potential severity of the injury. The fundamental tenets of treatment are rice, icing, compression, and elevation. The vast majority of ankle sprains will heal without surgery, although certain "high ankle sprains" or those with associated fractures may require surgical treatment. Surgery may also be indicated for athletes with recurrent ankle sprains and persistent instability that prevents a return to competitive sport.
We hope that Dwight, Peyton, and the rest of the Colts squad is healthy and ready for what will certainly be a competitive and exciting match up with the Saints.

Keynote Address - Day One
High Density Fan-Out: Evolution or RevolutionRama Alapati, Director, Package Architecture & Customer Technology (PACT) at GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Tuesday, October 13, 2015
Continued form factor and IO density scaling pressures have necessitated innovation in wafer level packaging technologies including High Density Fan-Out at leading edge Si nodes. A thorough analysis of the end applications reveal clear IO density envelopes for multi-die Fan-Out packages. Industry solutions of today are very fragmented, enabling disruption in the application space. Silicon Foundries entry in to the Fan-Out space also clearly highlights opportunities for value capture in this expanding package format. For traditional players in this field "collaborative competition" enables a new way of competing with the foundries and business models that enables this new paradigm are possible and viable.
Rama Alapati is leading the Packaging Product Management group with focus on delivering package differentiated solutions. Rama led the 3D TSV technology start-up in GLOBALFOUNDRIES Fab 8 for sub-20nm nodes. He was also responsible for sub-20nm CPI qualification until recently. Rama represents GLOBALFOUNDRIES in consortia like imec, SRC and SEMATECH to drive packaging focused research programs. Prior to joining GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Rama was with Micron Technology for 8 years first as an etch engineer focused on pitch doubling technology for sub-50nm NAND and later on as a assignee at imec focusing on 3D-IC and BEoL integration. Rama graduated with Master of Science (Honors) in chemical engineering from the University of Kansas, Lawrence and prior to that received his Bachelor of Technology degree with distinction from Osmania University in Hyderabad, India. Rama has 25 granted patents, more than 10 publications and more than 25 invention disclosures pending adjudication at the USPTO. Rama was awarded the 2014 SRC "Mahboob Khan" award for mentorship of graduate students
Keynote Address - Day Two
2.5D/3D IC – Examining Low Cost AlternativesSitaram Arkalgud, VP, 3D Porfolio & Technologies at Invensas
Wednesday, October 14, 2015
2.5D and 3D products have entered the semiconductor market, albeit at the higher end of performance and pricing. The penetration has been slow, primarily due to the high cost of Si interposer technology, and, consequently, new TSV-less technologies have recently been proposed. This presentation will examine the market dynamics, the segments where TSV based products have made significant inroads, and where alternative technologies could have an impact.
Sitaram Arkalgud leads Invensas' 3D-IC research and development efforts. Prior to Invensas, he started and led 3D-IC development at SEMATECH, where the focus was on delivering manufacturable process technologies for 3D interconnects. Previously, Sitaram worked in a variety of roles spanning R&D and manufacturing in memory and logic technologies at Infineon/Qimonda and Motorola. He is the author of several publications and holds 14 U.S. patents. Sitaram holds a master's degree and a Ph.D. in materials engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and a bachelor's degree in metallurgical engineering from Karnataka Regional Engineering College, Surathkal, India.
Panel Discussion: Fan-Out WLP Panel Processing: Will it Happen and What Will it Be?Moderator: E. Jan Vardaman, President, TechSearch International, Inc.
Tuesday, October 13, 2015
With the demand for thin packages handling devices with increasing I/O counts a number of companies have selected fan-out wafer level packages (FO-WLPs) to meet their needs. The drive to reduce cost has resulted in the investigation of larger scale panel processing for FO-WLPs. The idea is that processing in a larger panel would provide a lower cost structure than a wafer format. A number of new processes are being considered and will be discussed. This panel discussion will also examine some of the issues in large panel processing such as die placement accuracy and speed, molding materials and processes, warpage, and material requirements.
Panel Discussion : Interposers, 3D TSVs, and Alternatives: What are the Options and Where do They Fit?Moderator: Françoise Von Trapp, 3D InCites
Wednesday, October 14, 2015
After years of development and speculation, TSV-based silicon interposer and 3D IC devices are finally being implemented in production volumes in devices destined for high-end computing applications, where the cost/performance benefits are justified. In parallel, many companies have elected to invest in alternative approaches to Si and TSVs to come up with more cost-sensitive solutions to meet the high-density requirements of next-generation mobile products. With the plethora of device types differentiated only by processes flows and materials used, it's difficult to differentiate between these options and where they are best suited. This interactive panel will attempt to sort out the confusion. With the aid of a Kahoot quiz, we will test the audience's understanding of available options (there will be right and wrong answers this time, and a prize to the winner) and panelists will fill in the blanks with details on their understanding of the requirements and which device suits which application.

Hedge Your Bet at the Best Real Money Casinos
Everyone reaches a point where they want to play for real money at an online casino. However, in order to have the confidence to bet your hard earned cash, you need to know that the online casino is trustworthy, has dedicated customer service staff and offers a variety of games.
The benefit of playing at an online casino is that you have anonymity, which is not possible in a land based casino. You also get to play in the comfort of your own home, instead of getting all dressed up, to go to a land based casino, when all you really want to do is gamble.
Perhaps one of the drawbacks of playing at an online casino is the withdrawal procedures and often lengthy wait times, whereas, at a land based casino, you walk out with your winnings in hand.

SAN FRANCISCO — Zach Johnson lay spread-eagled on the 15th green, flat on his back after South Africa's Tim Clark holed yet another putt for yet another birdie. Call it a comedic compliment, because Johnson made five birdies on the back nine, including one at the 15th moments earlier, but Clark finished with seven straight 3s to deliver a knockout blow to Johnson, 4 and 3.
Johnson's flop was the perfect microcosm of this Presidents Cup at chilly Harding Park, only in reverse. Johnson looked like the International squad felt after getting run over by the 18-wheeler that was the American team in Sunday's singles finals.
The final score wasn't indicative of the last-day whupping. The U.S. won the Cup, 19 1/2-14 1/2, but it wasn't really that close.
How much of a rout was this? The Americans won the five matches they needed to clinch the Cup before the Internationals managed to score a single point. This time, Yogi Berra was wrong — it was over before it was over. The U.S. had the Presidents Cup wrapped up by 1:30 p.m. Pacific time. Woods did the honors himself, rolling in a putt for his fifth birdie to easily finish off Y.E. Yang, 6 and 5. Woods was a perfect 5-0 for the week.
It couldn't have been good for NBC to have Tiger done and the Cup already won with 90 minutes of airtime left to fill and NFL games beckoning on other channels.
Woods was only the third player since Mark O'Meara and Shigeki Maruyama to have a 5-0 record in Presidents Cup play. It was hardly a surprise. If there was one singles match that seemed like a mortal lock, it was Woods vs. Yang. Tiger is a proven avenger. Any perceived slight or old defeat gets paid back, sooner or later. Yang, who beat Tiger at this year's PGA Championship to become the first player to knock him off when he had the 54-hole lead in a major championship, was in trouble from the start. (Tiger also teamed with Steve Stricker to trounce Yang and Ryo Ishikawa in Saturday's four-ball matches, 4 and 2.)
Woods was typically coy when asked if beating Yang meant anything special to him. "I tried to get my point, and I got my point," he said with a knowing grin. In Tigerspeak, that's as close to a "yes" as you're going to get.
Unfortunately, the Presidents Cup finale wasn't much of a show. The singles were a disappointing anticlimax after three days of close, hard-fought matches in which a handful of strokes effectively accounted for the Americans' advantage. Captain Greg Norman's players needed a good start Sunday and a huge effort to win the eight matches they needed. There was no such charge.
"Each of our guys gave 101 percent," Norman said. "I look back over four days and five rounds and my guys stacked up in ballstriking. The Americans probably outputted us."
That was pretty much the scouting report going into the matches. It certainly described the start of Sunday's play. The Internationals badly needed a couple of early wins, but Hunter Mahan and Stewart Cink made sure that didn't happen. Mahan handled Camilo Villegas in the opening singles match, 2 and 1, but it was actually Cink who drew first blood and put up the first point. He was five under par through 15 holes, soundly defeating Adam Scott, 4 and 3.
Two more blowouts helped eliminate any doubt about the outcome. Anthony Kim, who had struggled with his game the first three days, came to life and held a 4-up lead over Robert Allenby through 11 holes. He won, 5 and 3. Sean O'Hair, who had struggled with his putting stroke, got off to a birdie-birdie start and pummeled Ernie Els, 6 and 4.
It was easy to see those wins coming well before they were finalized. And on the tail end of the scoreboard, there was Woods administering his thrashing of Yang. Tiger was already 4 up at the turn, leaving little doubt about how that match was going to turn out. With three big leads in matches, it was well before 1:30 when the realization that the Presidents Cup was already over hit home.
"It was almost demoralizing," said Vijay Singh, who conceded a putt to Lucas Glover on their final hole so their meaningless match would end in a halve.
"It was a good gesture," said Glover. "We were out there when Tiger won on 13, and we were ready to go right in then."
Woods will go down as the Man of the Matches this week because of his unbeaten mark, but he owes Stricker a big thank you. He couldn't have done it without his partner. Stricker and Phil Mickelson probably played the best golf of anyone, although Stricker lost his singles match to Geoff Ogilvy and Mickelson and Sean O'Hair settled for a halve in their Saturday four-ball match.
Jim Furyk also had a noteworthy week, practically winning his Saturday four-ball match by himself when Kim was off his game. Kim bounced back with the big singles win. So did Cink and O'Hair. Like all Cup victories, this one really was a team effort.
"Basically, these guys did it all," said U.S. captain Fred Couples. "For me, it was a fun thing to have Tiger and Steve beat up on everybody. I wanted Tiger to win every match, and I thought that was important to our team. Every tournament Tiger plays, everyone wants to know what he's shooting and where he's at, and the Presidents Cup is no different. For Tiger and Steve to win every match, we basically shut their team down from saying, 'Hey, we have them where we want them.' That was a big boost to us."
There was agreement on both sides that the Cup's turning point was when Woods and Stricker rallied from one down on the 17th hole in Saturday's foursomes match to beat Mike Weir and Tim Clark on the 18th. Woods made a long birdie putt on the 17th to square the match and played a masterful 3-iron second shot into the par-5 18th green. That led to a conceded eagle and a 1-up win.
"That was a big change for the team," Stricker said. "It gave us big momentum. It was a blast to play with Tiger, and I felt like I held up my end of the deal, which was a big concern for me coming into this. I wanted to make sure I contributed, and I felt like I did."
The victory raised the Americans' record to 6-1-1 in this event. In 2011, the Presidents Cup will be played at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. The captains haven't been chosen yet, but it would be shocking if Norman, Australia's greatest golfer, wasn't asked for an encore performance. Couples seems a likely choice, too, and his star turn as captain has to have PGA of America officials looking at him as a prime candidate for Ryder Cup captain in 2012.
"Fred just seemed to be on top of everything — even details, which isn't his personality," said Mickelson. "We were impressed with the job he did."
In the end, that's what everyone was saying about the entire American team.

Basketball Passing Drills
Medha Godbole
Mar 12, 2019
It is hard to imagine a basketball session without some passing drills. Here's how they help.
They created magic on the basketball court with their awe-inspiring gimmicks. No mention of basketball can be complete without 2 legendary players, Earvin 'Magic' Johnson and Michael Jordan.
Wonder what the 'mantra' behind their extremely successful stint on the court was. Guess, it was sheer determination and a hell lot of practice and training. Talking of training, ever heard of basketball training without drills? Here are a few of them.
Passing and Stepping
Players begin with a line at the center of the foul line and the other line on the out-of-bounds line. They start off when the ball is at the foul line. They face each other and then side-step down the court. At the same time, they give each other a chest pass every couple of steps. The players have to make sure that the ball does not hit the ground.
Swap or Pass?
To do this drill, players get into pairs. One of the players throws chest passes, and the other throws bounce passes. The coach can call out commands like 'switch' to indicate that the passing technique has to be swapped. The player doing chest passing will do bounce passing, and vice versa. The drill is effective for improving timing, passing, and catching.
Chasing Game
A couple of players stand on each side of the rectangle. One of them has the ball. On the whistle, both players rush off down the court. The player who has the ball throws it down the court in front of the other player. That player then has to make a layup in the other basket.
If the player (who had the ball earlier) cannot catch it, or it goes far off in front of both of them, a second pass back to the player having the ball initially is made for another layup or shot.
The Court is Full
In this drill, the coach pairs a group of children and asks them to form a single line, or 2 lines at the most. Each group then stands on the baseline on opposite ends of the court.
On the whistle, players jog besides each other using the pass the coach has assigned, either chest or bounce. The kids have to stay across or slightly ahead of their partners. The coach has to focus on the children leading their teammates with the pass.
Weaving a Score
Players fall in a group of 5 at one end of the court. Each player passes and goes behind the player who is shooting the layup, and the player who passed the ball to the shooter at that instant sprints to cover the defensive basket.
The ball is taken out of the basket by the player who is closest to the rebound. He immediately passes it to the nearest offensive player, for the initiation of 3 on 2 situation.
Circle to Pass
In this drill, players make a circle at the center of the court, which has a diameter of around 4 meters. One of the players is in the middle. The first player to start off the proceedings passes to the player in the center, and then goes after his pass.
The player in the center then passes the ball to the next player in the circle, clockwise. Consequently, the player who was in the center becomes one of those forming the circle, replacing the player he passed the ball to. The ball cannot touch the ground.
At the end of the day, a player can do these drills or umpteen more things. What is important is being constantly involved and on his toes, and lots and lots of practice.

I know your dad and brothers are all freaking out right now, wondering if I am going to contact you today! (lol) (how sad)
Finally, the day we can 'legally' contact each other without others demanding we don't.
However, dear son....seeing how you don't know me very well, I already know you don't want to, and will not for your own reasons, contact me anyway....so, I will leave you these special Birthday wishes right here.
(Where you will always know you can reach me, and find love, without the negative whiplash of others, I hope and pray.)
* It was bright and early, on this very day, just 18 years ago, just a few miles from where I am now, that I began having contractions, indicating that you were ready to enter this world. It had been a nice, not too uncomfortable, 9 months I had carried you, close to my heart, and you were now coming only a day or so from your exact due date. Excitement was in the air. I had a Mid-wife (Karen) and her assistants, all ready to go for this Special day of yours (and mine).
I was so excited, and thankful that I would have a long summer day to slowly deliver you into this world and my home....and into our Jacuzzi Spa, no less. I was very blessed!
We had to put fresh water into our Jacuzzi tub and warm it up to perfection, for me to be able to labor, with you, in. We had all morning and afternoon to do this, because you didn't come out to greet us until late in the evening, of this same day!
As soon as you did, we took you right out of the water and held you tight. I was given herbs to help shrink my placenta and finish the delivery. My midwife was kind, intelligent and inspired! I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable helper. Her assistant, Karen also, was compassionate and very helpful too.
I immediately came out of the tub, to lay on the floor of this beautiful cedar lined room. LOTS of fresh towels were ready for you and I. I cuddled you and you began to suckle immediately, to help release the placenta. This whole process could not have gone more smoothly and heavenly. YOU truly were an angel being placed in my arms and home. You were calm, happy and content. You were the Perfect 5th baby. You looked so much like Jacob, your older brother...it felt like I was giving birth to the same baby I had just delivered a mere two years earlier. Lots of things were the same as the previous birth because it was such a fantastic way to deliver...but now, you were my new, special and unique baby boy...my Andrew Sterling Holler.
So, Andrew, have a nice evening with your family and friends. Know that I am thinking of you ALL DAY, and praying that you are happy, healthy, and safe.
Love, forever, Mom

Tips on new homeowner lists marketing
Marketing campaign is now using some different tricks to reach their potential customers. Because of this now they are taking help of phone numbers which they took from the list so called new homeowner lists. For this campaign they are taking various steps to make it a successful. There are some guidelines on them. Offer cell phone users a free gift if they subscribe to your mobile content. This can encourage users to opt-in to receive your adverts, which means you don't have to fear being claimed as a spammer. You could also offer a gift which requires users to spend money with your company in the future in order to receive all the benefits of the gift. Customer love rewards so reward them just for signing up. Just for signing up give them a coupon for a free item when they come back and purchase something else. Since they are giving you their details through new homeowner lists, reward them with something worthwhile that will keep them coming back.
Do not send unreasonable amounts of text messages to personal phones. Mobiles are very personal and many people do not appreciate being overwhelmed with marketing messages. Try to limit the number of messages to as few as possible so as to maintain a high level of satisfaction with your customer. The new homeowner lists marketing provides a great opportunity for you to offer up a wide assortment of discounts and other information about your business, so you should use this format to make sure you're always giving out good deals. Your customers need to feel special, so make sure you're sending them info on your discounts and other special under this new homeowner lists marketing campaign.
Negative impressions of your brand can spread like wildfire over the internet, so you want to attempt to jump out in front of negative buzz with a positive spin.

We are so sorry for your loss. When this happens in our family we need more than human strength. God and his Son can provide what we need. Please review these scriptures : John 5:28-29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Getty Thinkstock
A baby blanket is an ideal project for a beginning knitter. Using just a basic stitch or two, you can create a lovely gift for a special infant. Although the patterns are simple, the blanket can be made in a wide variety of colours and fibres. Plan on making several, because once you see how easy it is to knit a baby blanket, you'll want to knit many more. Using a simple pattern, but varying needle size, type of yarn and colour, your options are endless.
Decide on the colour and texture you want for your blanket. Beginners might want to use only one colour yarn. Determine if you want to use a wool yarn or a softer, baby yarn that is easier to launder.
Choose your yarn carefully. Be certain that you have enough to complete the project. Typically you will need approximately 900 metres of each yarn used. Always check the lot number of the yarn and be sure that all skeins are from the same lot. This will ensure that the colour of the yarn is uniform throughout. You might want to purchase a pound of yard or a very large skein that will allow you to complete the entire blanket with just one skein.
Decide on your needle size. A super simple baby blanket can be knit using either small needles, such as size 7, or larger ones, such as size 15 needles. If using small needles, then knit using just one strand of yarn throughout. If using larger needles, hold two or three strands of yarn together for the project. Larger needles will knit up more quickly, but they will use more yarn. Use circular needles to avoid putting strain on your wrists, just be sure to turn them, just like regular knitting needles, after each row to avoid any twisting of your stitches.
Begin to knit by casting on the correct number of stitches. If using size 7, 8, 9 or 10 needles, cast on between 134 and 180 stitches, depending on the desired width of your finished blanket. If using size 11, 12 or 13, cast on between 70 to 80 stitches, and if using larger than size 13 needles, cast on between 60 and 70 stitches. The larger the needles, the fewer stitches necessary.
Using the garter stitch, which is simply knitting each row, make the blanket long enough to suit you. You might have a predetermined size in mind, or you can just finish the yarn you are using. Bind off your stitches loosely and you have completed a beautiful baby blanket.
Most recent
- To make another version of a simple baby blanket, just make sixteen squares, about 30 by 30 cm (12 by 12 inches), using the garter stitch. Depending on the size needles and the number of strands of yarn, this could mean casting on anywhere from 12 to 40 stitches across, then knitting each row. This makes it quite easy to use many different colours. Once the squares are complete, simply stitch them together in a pattern that you like.
- Try adding stripes by changing colours at the start of a row.
- For another blanket, cast on the same number of stitches as above. Then knit the first two rows in garter stitch. Then begin to knit one row and purl the next row, in the stockinet stitch, until the blanket is long enough. End by knitting the last two rows, using garter stitch again.

The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has signed a Joint Powers Agreement with Wadena County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD).
The MDA partnered with the USDA National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) and University of Minnesota researchers to collect information about fertilizer use and farm management. Surveys were conducted over the phone. NASS staff are highly skilled at obtaining critical information over the phone with minimal time and burden on the producer.In 2011, the survey focused on the southeast region of Minnesota. The survey was designed to gather information about nitrogen fertilizer rates, timing of nitrogen application and use of nitrogen inhibitors.
Grassland ecosystems evolved to depend on periodic disturbances, such as fire and grazing, to maintain their health and stability. Periodic disturbances help control invasive species, add nutrients back into the soil, germinate plant seeds, enhance wildlife habitat, and more. In Minnesota habitat managers have used fire as a disturbance tool for decades but the use of grazing has been much rarer, mostly because of a lack of necessary infrastructure such as fencing.
The Discovery Farms program is a farmer-led effort to gather information on soil and nutrient loss on farms in different settings across Minnesota. The mission of Discovery Farms Minnesota is to gather water quality information under real-world conditions.
Minnesota has 9.5 million acres of public forest lands that play an important role in sustaining Minnesota's environment and economy. The policies and programs used by public timber sale programs can impact post-harvest ecological conditions and have pronounced effects on the composition, structure, and productivity of the forest in the future. Additionally, timber harvesting revenues play an important role in economic activity, employment, and tax revenue.
Minnesota has 15.9 million acres of forest land managed by a variety of county, state and federal agencies, and private landowners for timber production, wildlife habitat, and ecological considerations. Forest managers rely on inventory data to make effective planning and management decisions. Because forests are continually changing through natural and human processes, forest inventory data is periodically updated. However, doing so is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor and, as a result, much of Minnesota's forest inventory data is currently out of date.
Funding supports an Irrigation Specialist to develop guidance and provide education on irrigation and nitrogen best management practices (BMPs). In this position, Dr. Vasu Sharma provides direct support to irrigators on issues of irrigation scheduling and soil water monitoring. She is collaborating on the development of new irrigation scheduling tools that help irrigators manage water and nitrogen resources more precisely. These tools help reduce nitrogen leaching losses in irrigated cropping systems.
The Lower Mississippi River Feedlot Management in MN project will be leveraging State funding from BWSR to provide match for a United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Regional Conservations Partners Program (RCPP). BWSR will provide technical and financial assistance to plan and design projects to mitigate feedlot runoff from smaller (less than 300 animal units or AUs*), open lot feedlots in southeastern Minnesota.
This project was part of a three-state partnership to test, demonstrate and promote a simple, inexpensive and reliable new system for edge-of-field water monitoring. The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Pioneer Farm, in collaboration with UW-Platteville Engineering, has developed a low cost monitoring system that can obtain good quality, edge-of-field monitoring data in agricultural settings. By eliminating unnecessary features and assembling components in-house, the prototype monitoring system derives the majority of cost savings with minimal sacrifice in accuracy.
This project will provide a better understanding of nitrogen fertilizer management on irrigated, sandy soils that are common in central and west-central Minnesota.

For years Dan Storper would get an occasional phone call from an executive at iTunes or the Amazon MP3 store, asking the same question every time: "Have you changed your mind yet?"
The calls were about Mr. Storper's record label, Putumayo World Music, which has developed a multimillion-dollar franchise around the idea of making the sounds of distant corners of the planet accessible to everyday Western shoppers. World music releases often end up as a particularly low-selling species of esoterica, but Putumayo's colorfully decorated, novice-level compilations, like "Acoustic Brazil" and "French Café," have sold 27 million copies around the world.
The label's CDs are sold in record stores, as well as through a network of thousands of clothing boutiques, museum gift shops and Whole Foods markets. Until now, however, Putumayo has been behind the commercial curve in one important aspect: as one of the last holdouts on digital music, it has made none of its albums available as downloads. That will finally change on Tuesday, when the label releases its first two digital albums, "African Beat" and "Latin Beat."
The digital revolution has been a struggle for plenty of record companies, but for Mr. Storper, Putumayo's co-founder and chief executive, deciding to take that plunge was as much a personal matter as a professional one.
"I've built a business focused on creating compelling physical packages that combine music, culture and travel, that make great gifts and that sound very good," he said. "I'm 60 years old. I still don't own an iPod or iPad. I like reading physical books, magazines and newspapers, and buying CDs that have interesting liner notes. I'm certainly not an early adopter."Continue reading the main story
The physicality of Putumayo's products has been central to its success. Each album has a cover designed in the same folk-art-inspired style, along with detailed yet non-egghead liner notes sometimes spiced with local recipes. The label supplies retail stores with branded display cases for its CDs, which are drawn from material released by record companies around the world. And while world-music purists have never quite accepted Putumayo, its albums have proved reliable impulse buys for millions of curious shoppers.
"The world of music is an ocean," said Mr. Storper, who has a shaggy tuft of white hair and no shortage of stories about traversing the globe for music and crafts. "Part of what we do is curate, and try to find songs that are universal."
Putumayo had its beginnings in 1975, when Mr. Storper, a freshly minted Latin American studies graduate, opened a handicrafts shop in Manhattan that grew into a clothing line supplying hundreds of boutiques. (The store became so popular that it was even featured in a "Seinfeld" episode.) In 1993 he started the label, teaming up with Rhino Records for its first releases. Rhino distributed the albums to record stores, and Mr. Storper worked his specialty shop connections, eventually building that side of his business into an alternative distribution network that is the envy of the music industry, said Richard Foos, a founder of Rhino who is now with the reissue label Shout! Factory.
"Our feeling at Rhino was that we could sell 10 times the amount of product if we could really get in front of the consumer at record stores," Mr. Foos said. "Dan did the exact opposite in that he found everywhere to sell his product."
By the mid-2000s, Mr. Storper's employees were urging him to go digital, but he resisted. He had a good thing going at brick-and-mortar retail and had never been at the forefront of technology anyway. ("I was one of the last people to get out of cassettes," he said.) In recent years, though, as thousands of record stores have shut down, and retailers of all kinds have been hit by the recession, a transition to digital sales has seemed inevitable.
There was a hurdle: licensing. Most record companies, afraid of cannibalizing their own sales, have been willing to license songs for Putumayo's digital compilations only if they were sold as part of a complete album, not as individual tracks; meanwhile, Mr. Storper said, iTunes usually requires that at least 85 percent of the tracks on an album be available for individual download. Lately some labels have become more lenient about licensing, Mr. Storper added, but it still took months to clear the tracks for "African Beat" and "Latin Beat."
Putumayo still faces challenges of its own in going digital. How will a label used to browser-friendly physical packages at retail shops adapt to a market of ones and zeroes, where there are fewer opportunities for the last-minute impulse buy at the register? Scott Ambrose Reilly, a former Amazon executive now with the X5 Music Group, which has sold some 150 million tracks through digital compilations, said that many of the traditional marketing rules for compilations do not apply online. A cover, for example, must immediately convey the concept behind an album, and in a block of pixels no bigger than a postage stamp.
"You don't have the luxury of people picking it up and looking at it for even 15 seconds," Mr. Reilly said. "You have 2 or 3."
If "African Beat" and "Latin Beat" are any indication, Putumayo has already learned that lesson. Unlike the covers on older albums, which usually feature multiple human figures and an appropriate location, these simply show stylized close-ups of instruments. The digital versions of these and future albums will contain only the songs; for the full liner notes and other goodies, a customer will have to buy the CD versions.
The list of artists and labels still holding out on digital is getting shorter all the time. Putumayo did not make it online before the Beatles, whose music went on sale at iTunes late last year. But it did beat Aerosmith, whose classic 1970s and '80s albums will be available on iTunes for the first time next week.
"I think it will be written on my tombstone," Mr. Storper said. "Better late than never."Continue reading the main story

Los Angeles producer CUSCINO presents his new single "Set Fire", out now on Stuttgart, Germany-based label Dirty Cat Records. Accompanying CUSCINO's progressive-house flavored main version are a techhouse remix by Bosnian house DJ/producer Adis Gile, a deep house take by label owner Dirty Cat, a deep house track by French producer/DJ Hansgod, and an experimental remix by Kabelmann. This single is the first official release following CUSCINO's debut EP _Eternality_, released on Fashion Sells Musiq (Los Angeles) last year. CUSCINO describes "Set Fire" as "sort of a prelude for my sophomore release, coming this fall on Fashion Sells Musiq (Los Angeles). I wanted to get 'Set Fire' out into the world as soon as I was able, as it — and the amazing remixes from the other talented Dirty Cat Records producers — spoke to me as the perfect fit for a big summer release."
