Learning the ropes
In preparing for your first gig with Scratch LIVE, the time you
spend before the gig is going to pay dividends that night. This
is especially true for those who have only just purchased SSL
but are already gigging DJs with experience in clubs; you need
to be familiar with the differences and new opportunities to be
creative if you are going to maximize your 1st gig’s potential.
This guide assumes you have already read the manual and
have a library of music in Scratch LIVE. If this isn’t you, please
do so before proceeding. A great way to get to know Scratch
LIVE is via the tooltips; click the (?) next to the Scratch LIVE
logo to enable tooltips then hover over parts of the interface with
your mouse cursor to get info about them.
The Modes
Scratch LIVE uses three distinct modes for operation, they
are detailed in the manual. Most people start with absolute
mode, since that is closest to “normal” vinyl. If you don’t want
any chance of skipping while you scratch, change into relative
mode, if you need to play a track and aren’t going to control it
with a turntable, use internal mode.
The Markers
Markers speed up DJing, it’s that simple.
Go through your tracks and place markers
at key points in the track — where you
usually cue from, mix into the next tune or
scratch samples etc. If you DJ with doubles
sometimes (same song on both decks) the
markers can really add to your routines, and
keep you oriented within the track.
The Setup Screen
It can’t be emphasized enough how important this screen is to
the health of your Scratch LIVE. Learn it, re-read the manual
section about it, and become comfortable with what it is used
for. Once you’re familiar with it, setting up Scratch LIVE should
take about as long as swapping carts with the previous DJ (unless
you have to swap in your SL 1).
Some points of note are:
USB audio buffer size
This is the key setting as far as performance is concerned; a
smaller buffer size (slider to the left) results in tighter record
control. Gradually lower the setting, while mixing (and/or
scratching) until you get a “stuttery” display or you reach the
lowest setting possible. This setting should be established well
in advance of your gig, and if you don’t feel confident that the
setting is appropriate, then increase the buffer size one or two ms
to be safe.
Auto fill overviews
If you’re playing tracks which you’ve just added to your library,
and don’t have overviews built, this option will build them for
you with “spare” cpu cycles. This will reduce the performance of
Scratch LIVE if your CPU is already maxed.
Calibration
You must calibrate whenever you set up, and regularly with a
permanent install. The scope on your setup screen is an indispensable
tool for checking your turntables and needles. Look
at Scope reading and fixes in the back of the SSL manual for a
selection of various scope signals and their likely causes.
The threshold is the level below which Scratch LIVE ignores
the input, this is to prevent noise from being interpreted as
control signal.
Building Overviews
The overview of each track is stored within the file itself and
provides an overall view of the content; if you’ve got one of those
songs with 2 minutes of talking before the beat drops, look at
the overview while you needle drop through.
It’s a good idea to build overviews for all your files before you
play with them, it’s one less thing for your computer to be doing
while you’re playing to an audience.
Unplug your SL 1, click the build overviews button, and
Scratch LIVE will work through your library building all the
overviews.

“2012″ is No. 1 at the Chinese box office for many of the same reasons that it has been a smash hit in America. Apparently, spectacular special effects hold the same appeal on both sides of the Pacific.
The movie has already taken in $450 million worldwide, about $108 million since opening in the US 10 days ago, according to Box Office Mojo. (Dare one say that mass-market movie mindlessness is a global phenomenon?)
But the buzz in Beijing has a slightly different edge to it. For the first time that anyone can remember, a Hollywood blockbuster has cast the Chinese as good guys. (The giant arks that will save humanity from an end-of-days catastrophe are Made in China.)
The idea that China will save the world from its economic woes is one that has been batted around by economists for some time now.
Beijing’s 8.4 percent projected GDP growth this year will offset three quarters of the decline in the GDP’s of the US, the Eurozone, and Japan, according to a World Bank forecast the other day.
But this positive image of China is new to the silver screen, and it clearly flatters a lot of Chinese moviegoers. It also pleased the censors, who allow only 20 foreign films a year to be shown here. “2012” is being shown uncut, unlike “Mission Impossible III,” for example, whose distributors had to delete scenes portraying Chinese bad guys.
Still, suspicion of US intentions runs deep in some quarters here. Cynics are suggesting that director Roland Emmerich had the Chinese box office take in mind when he co-wrote the script.
That doesn’t sound too plausible: China may have 1.3 billion people, and one day more of them may go to the movies, but box office revenue was still 15 times smaller in China than in America last year.
Other critics make a more subtle point.
When a top White House official who has fled the ruins of Washington for the mountains of western China sees the giant arks for the first time, he is astonished.
“Leave it to the Chinese,” he exclaims. “I didn’t think it was possible, not in the time we had.”
That is possibly the commonest reaction Westerners have when they visit the real China, and witness the speed at which bridges, apartment blocks, and power stations are built here.
• 2009-Nov-23 - Google Acquires Teracent: Wants to Offer Smarter Display Ads
www.e-store.net.au is an professional manufactor of all kinds digital batteries, such as laptop batteries, laptop ac adapters, power tool batteries and digital camera batteries. There are some of the hit cheap laptop batteries of them: LG LB32111B Battery, PRESARIO V6400 Battery, Dell GK479 Battery, TOSHIBA PA3191U-1BAS Battery, SONY VGP-BPS2B Battery, TOSHIBA PA3285U-1BAS Battery, TOSHIBA PA3356U-1BAS Battery,
Google just announced that it has acquired Teracent, a display ad company that specializes in creating customized display ads in real-time based on machine-learning algorithms. While regular display ads always look the same for every user, Teracent's ads are automatically created from multiple creative elements and can change according to factors like geographic location and language, as well as the content of the website, time of day, and the past performance of different ads. As Andy Beal describes it, this is basically "multi-variate testing for your banner ads."
Teracent also offers solutions for optimized video and mobile display ads. Interestingly, Teracent is currently working with Yahoo to offer its Mobile SmartAds on Yahoo's mobile properties. It will be interesting to see if Google will continue this partnership.
According to Google, Teracent's offerings will help the company to improve display advertising on the Web. Since acquiring DoubleClick in 2007, Google has released a number of new features to improve its display ads. Earlier this month, Google also acquired mobile advertising company AdMob. Neither Google nor Teracent released any information about the financial details of the transaction, which is "subject to various closing conditions."
Teracent's most well-known competitor is probably Dapper, which also offers dynamic display ads based on factors like a company's inventory or a user's location.
Race is an insensitive issue in China. The sighting of someone who is not of the majority Han race does not stop conversation here, but sparks comments of all sorts – of surprise, wonder, bewilderment and defensiveness. Being cautious about what one says about colour or heritage in China is seen as silly and blinded.
That is not to say that talking about race in China is a dialogue suffused with respect. For example, during the late summer, Luo Jing, a resident of Shanghai of mixed-race descent (her father an African-American, her mother is Chinese) appeared on a television talent show that was seen across China. The farther Lou advanced in the contest, the louder the voices and vitriol became, especially against her mother for having slept with a black man and producing what many Chinese saw as an impure prodigy.
Only a precious few saw Lou as a contestant, instead of some sort of a specimen of an ill-fated union. Her singing voice and presence in front of the cameras were fine (although she ended up eventually losing the contest). It was her colour and ancestry that dominated the conversation online and in the streets here.
And now, Barack Obama is walking into this conversation.
Obama arrives to see a society that is increasingly self-confident about its identity and national power, and more open to debating issues. But while the rest of the world agonises over race and identity, the vast majority of Chinese know precisely who they are: they are Han, and the rest of the world is not. That world may be the source of some envy where hardware is concerned, but it is also populated with peoples who have a barbarian quality and an uncultured approach to life, according to many here.
Globalisation has shaken this simplicity somewhat – the idea of China being the centre of the world, with the rest of the globe populated by "outsiders". Yet globalisation has also tossed many Chinese back into a more strident tone of traditionalism, one that accentuates differences between nations, peoples and races instead of celebrating the sort of diversity that helped bring Obama to high office in the United States.
Many Chinese do not know what to make of Obama. That he is immediately identifiable here in China does not make his policies or views well known. Obama is as perplexing to many residents as he is popular, as many see him as a famous black person on par with Michael Jackson instead of, say, Thomas Jefferson.
Still, for more than a few Chinese, his triumph indicates a better system of selecting officials, whereby someone who is inexperienced and yet unique can rise to the top of government. For these folks, Obama is noteworthy for his sizeable talent as well as his skin colour.
Obama is a political rock star, his image emblazoned on T-shirts and bags for sale in the odd tourist shop and storefront. Those products made enough bureaucrats nervous that products bearing his face were removed from many stores, reflecting not race but the nervousness of certain cadres about his popularity relative to some Chinese officials.
And it is the Chinese government that will endeavour to dictate the discourse while Obama is here. At a press conference this past week, a foreign ministry spokesperson implored Obama to understand the Chinese position on Tibet because, in Beijing's view, the Communist party liberated Tibetans from serfdom. Obama "is a black president and understands the slavery abolition movement," the spokesperson intoned, and should therefore be sensible on such matters.
Chinese society appears to be convinced about the issue of race, and the government seems to have made up its mind on how Obama should act. It will be up to Obama to shake up that self-certainty and perhaps begin to change the contours of the conversation about race here.

To be fair, there are already a few nuclear batteries around, but the problem with them is they break down rather quickly. This is due to the obvious problem of radioactivity causing the semiconductor to break down. The current versions of the nuclear batteries are used in satellites and pacemakers.
Where the innovation comes in, is the size and how it’s made. The researchers have stated that their goal is to create a battery that is the size of a penny, using a liquid instead of a solid semiconductor. The long term goal, is to take the technology even farther to the newest Dell Latitude D620 Battery, and create a nuclear battery that is smaller then the thickness of a human hair. Sounds like a great idea to me.
University of Missouri engineers are building a nuclear Dell GK479 battery the size of a penny. Their aim is to develop a long-lasting power source for tiny sensors, actuators, and labs-on-a-chip. While nuclear batteries sound, er, problematic, they’re actually relatively common in larger form factors to power pacemakers and instruments aboard space vehicles. From MU News Bureau:
(Professor Jae Kown’s) innovation is not only in the Pavilion dv6000 Battery ’s size, but also in its semiconductor. Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The critical part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Twitter Lists have rolled out to a majority of users on the site now and the uptake has been remarkable. Things will get truly interesting when lists can by turned into columns in 3rd party clients like Tweetdeck andSeesmic (one small client says it's shipped list support already and Tweetdeck says it's coming soon), when you can share items with particular lists exclusively (like you can on Facebook) and when you can search inside particular lists. Anyone who's worked with OPML files before is likely to find Twitter lists frustrating so far.
Let's operate under the assumption that Twitter's own implementation of lists will be overshadowed by more useful implementations of the lists API. In order to help you get ready for that future, here are ten lists we think particularly worth following.
Twitter Lists are exciting because curation of dynamic sources is exciting. This is a particularly accessible way to do what syndication geeks have been thrilled by for years.
Here are some of our favorite curated lists we've found so far. We offer some description of these lists based on what we know about their creators and the short titles the lists have been given. The fact that Twitter doesn't offer a field to describe lists makes me wonder who they talked to when building the feature. (Turns out this is coming next week.) A lot of things make me wonder that, in fact.
Here are 10 cool lists we suggest you follow. We found most of these lists by thinking of awesome people on Twitter, then seeing what lists they are on.
Patrick LaForge's "Linkers"
LaForge is an Editor at the New York Times and finds great links to share all the time. These are some of the people he finds them from.
Josh Elman's Awesome Social
Josh Elman recently jumped ship from working at Facebook to working at Twitter. Silicon Valley super-geeks took notice, because Elman is a smart and connected guy. Here's a nice big list of people he created that you should know if you're interested in the social web.
Robert Scoble's Founders
You want to see curation taken seriously? Watch Robert Scoble, any day of the week. Scoble has built out more great lists than you can shake a stick at and this one is a favorite of ours. It's a list of company founders on Twitter. Strange beasts, these are, but good to pay attention to.
Rebecca Leaman's Nonprofit Geeks
Rebecca Leaman works atWildApricot and she's created a great list of geeks focused on social good, nonprofit tech folks. These people should be on your radar.
Chris Grayson's Augmented Reality Peeps
We like Augmented Reality and so does Chris Grayson, a New York City mobile marketing consultant. He's put together a nice long list of people working in AR. If you get to know these people now, you'll probably be glad you did later.
Mike Taylor's XMPP List
Mike Taylor, also known as Bear, does XMPP work at Seesmic. His XMPP list is a nice collection of real-time web developers, without bandwagon-jumping marketing types. Looking for early hints about where the real-time web is going? This list is one place we're watching.
Raven Zachary's iPhone List
Raven Zachary is the founder of Small Society, an absurdly hot iPhone dev shop in Portland, Oregon. Raven is curating a giant list of all the people working on the iPhone that he can find. We'd love to see his list of just must-read iPhone folks, but this list is pretty cool too.
Christina Braden's Disability List
Christina Braden goes by the handle @advocate4all and her bio reads: "There will never be justice in the world until those who are not harmed are as indignant as those who are." Hell, yeah. If you want to read biting, insightful critiques of social injustices, a list of disability rights activists is a great place to find them.
Ben Turner's Anthropology List
Ben Turner is a renaissance man with a pretentious Twitter handle (@xeus) but his Anthropology list is an awesome collection of people studying digital culture.
The ReadWriteWeb Team List
Charming, intelligent, attractive and humble - the ReadWriteWeb team is a great source of news and analysis about bleeding edge trends and developments online. We'd love it if you'd follow us on Twitter and engage with us in conversation.
Those are some of our favorite lists. Have you spotted (or built) any red-hot lists we should be sure to know about as well? Let us know in comments. Listorious is a directory of lists, but isn't it more fun to see lists of lists from people you know and trust? Both have their place - hopefully this is just the beginning of a new period of Twitter fun.

Scrabbling around in your pocket to dig out a phone may not be as elegant as glancing at a watch, but it saves splashing out on two gadgets.
11) Music stores
In a world where people don't want to pay anything for music, charging them £16.99 for 12 songs in a flimsy plastic case is no business model.
12) Letter writing/pen pals
Email is quicker, cheaper and more convenient; receiving a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare, even nostalgic, pleasure. As a result, formal valedictions like "Yours faithfully" are being replaced by "Best" and "Thanks".
13) Memory
When almost any fact, no matter how obscure, can be dug up within seconds through Google and Wikipedia, there is less value attached to the "mere" storage and retrieval of knowledge. What becomes important is how you use it – the internet age rewards creativity.

On-demand television, from the iPlayer in Britain to Hulu in the US, allows relatives and colleagues to watch the same programmes at different times, undermining what had been one of the medium's most attractive cultural appeals – the shared experience. Appointment-to-view television, if it exists at all, seems confined to sport and live reality shows.
18) Authoritative reference works
We still crave reliable information, but generally aren't willing to pay for it.
19) The Innovations catalogue
Preposterous as its household gadgets may have been, the Innovations catalogue was always a diverting read. The magazine ceased printing in 2003, and its web presence is depressingly bland.
20) Order forms in the back pages of books
Amazon's "Customers who bought this item also bought..." service seems the closest web equivalent.
21) Delayed knowledge of sporting results
When was the last time you bought a newspaper to find out who won the match, rather than for comment and analysis? There's no need to fall silent for James Alexander Gordon on the way home from the game when everyone in the car has an iPhone.

According to police the proportion of online sexual abuse reports linked to social networking websites like Facebook has doubled in a yearPhoto: GETTY IMAGES
With young people increasingly able to access the internet out of sight of their families on laptops and mobile phones, safety campaigners say that parents must encourage their children to be more open about their online habits.
"As children get older and more independent, supervision just doesn't come into it," said Vicky Gillings of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP), a national police body.
"Parents need to teach their children how to recognise and deal with abusers online."
CEOP receives 450 to 500 reports of online child abuse a month. Around 22 per cent of these now relate to abuse over social networking websites, double last year's figures.
A common tactic is for paedophiles to strike up friendships over Facebook, Bebo or MySpace, before moving the conversation to more private instant messenger services like MSN or AIM, where their intentions become clear.
But CEOP also receives reports of abuse over a range of other platforms, including children's personal websites, email, and online games.
"In the real world, wherever children go the paedophiles will follow, and it's exactly the same in an online environment. No single site is particularly dangerous," said Mrs Gillings.
"The progress of the grooming can be quick and insidious."
CEOP advises parents to drum three lessons about online safety into their children.
First, some people on the internet lie. Second, it is possible to block or de-friend people who make you feel uncomfortable.
And third, anyone who believes they have been the victim of sexual abuse over the internet can inform police instantly via the centre's website. (http://www.ceop.gov.uk)
Children should also be taught to recognise common warning signs – such as excessive physical compliments and the promise of gifts – when talking to strangers online.
Dealing with hundreds of millions (or billions) of pageviews a day is nothing out of the ordinary for enterprise sites. Ecommerce sites can get pounded with traffic, and require advanced content delivery network (CDN) solutions such as Akamai and Limelight. While these are important (actually, essential), what’s also important is ensuring your pages are loading lightning fast!
While Google in particular doesn’t use page load time as a factor in its ranking algorithms, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t impact SEO or isn’t important. Site latency can have ramifications in SEO in at least the following areas:
Crawling efficiency. As a spider crawls the site and performs typical GET/RESPONSE requests, the content needs to be served without excessive delays and without any 5xx server errors. Slow-loading sites can hinder the crawl by serving pages too slowly, which can adversely influence indexing and ultimately even impact rankings.
User response. A slow-loading page is as dead as a non-existent page. On the web, we want it fast and we want it now, and if we can’t get it now we hit the back button. Google certainly, and Bing probably, look to user satisfaction as a prime concern. A user who searches, clicks a result, then quickly returns to the search engine result page (SERP) and clicks on another result sends a strong signal about a page that is surely recorded. Think of this occurring many thousands of times and you can predict the outcome: the page will be pushed lower in the SERPs, or if it’s a serious error such as a 5xx, removed from the index altogether.
Here’s some low fruit to pick: ecommerce sites are especially bad at having multiple versions of product pages. Normally we can find these with site: and inurl: search operators. Pay careful attention to the product level URLs, as this is usually the area duplicate content creeps in (through faceting and sorting of URLs, or through tracking or cookie information appended in the query string). It’s also an area that can cause major negative impact on search rankings. Each product page should have one single, authoritative URL.
Duplicate product pages cause the following issues (at least):
Page dilution in the search indices. It’s not uncommon to find sites with dozens or even hundreds of product duplicates; with Google crawling and indexing a finite number of pages (domain dependent, of course), this is critical to resolve.
PageRank split in the link profile. Duplicate pages can attract links on their own, too, and these need to be consolidated to maximize a product URLs external links.
To find duplicate product URLs, do some quick searches in Google like the following:
You’ll have to click on the “repeat the search with the omitted results included” link to see all the duplicates (this adds filter=0 to the query string in the URL).
After you find them, here are your options (in order of preference for SEO, and intensiveness to implement):
Best but highly intensive: Re-structure your URLs so they don’t create duplicate content. This may mean a complete overhaul of the URL format and is not recommended in 99% of cases. However, in very serious situations this is the long-term goal, even if you have to get there via other short-term fixes.
Second best and moderately intensive: 301 redirect duplicate versions to the authoritative version. This is always a good option, however it requires more resources and is sometimes not do-able on ecommerce sites sorting products by season, style or special promotion. Also, redirects cause latency on a site (a point often overlooked by SEOs).
Third best and lightly intensive: Use the link canonical meta tag to relate duplicates with a single, authoritative version. Next, use Google and Yahoo! parameter removal tools in their web consoles to pull out parameters that aren’t needed. This is the least desirable option because it doesn’t really fix the underlying issue, it only places a band-aid on it. Still, it’s better than nothing, and it requires very few resources in comparison to the above methods.
• 2009-Sep-15 - Could this be the end of electric power cords?
From Thomas Edison's time, scientists have been trying to establish a system of data through the air, without wires electricity.
Now, a Massachusetts company, line of sight to limit that will be in about 18 months, is such a market system. The company has been developing its technology is based on Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Marin Soljacic, work is in the famous TEDGlobal conference that ended in Oxford in the UK announced
The company demonstrated how transmission unit can be placed on the wall, making it a TV set a few feet away. Eric Giler, CEO of the company, and also showed how the system can charge the wireless phone-G1 is equipped with the antenna units can be stuffed into such a small cell phone situation.
iPhone is a part of the demonstration, but also the internal structure of the mobile phone, but is so dense antenna must pay attention to the outside of the case.

Gilley said the line of sight to limit the system works, called magnetic resonance coupling is a human security. And environmental statement, he said that not only can eliminate the power cord, and digital camera battery power to household equipment tons per year.
Line of sight to limit shows that in January's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas versions of the technology. Intel is also developing a wireless electric power system.

The X-Power1 USB Rechargeable digital camera Battery Backup Cable by Xmultiple is an iPod and iPhone sync cable with a twist. It’s the aftermarket sync cable analog to Antoine de St. Exupery’s famous drawing of a python that has swallowed an elephant: thanks to a small lithium ion battery impregnated in the cable’s belly, the X-Power 1 is capable of recharging an iPod or iPhone even when it isn’t plugged into a USB slot.
It’s a marvelous little solution. Using the cable while plugged into your USB port will sync your iPod or iPhone while charging both your phone and the internal battery. But if you need some juice on the road, the cable can itself be used as a sort of external battery pack. Genius!
The X-Power1 comes in four models of varied length and battery sizes. A 3-inch cable with a 2100 mAh battery will be available for $19.15, a 6-inch cable with a 2300 mAh battery will be available for $22.95, a 10-inch cable with a 2500 mAh battery will be available for $25.95, and a 42-inch cable with a 2500 mAh battery will be coming out shortly for an unannounced price.
The 10-inch model should give 4.5 hours of 3G talk, 9 hours of 2G talk, up to 5.4 hours of Wi-Fi, 260 hours of standby time and 6 hours of video playback. For twenty five bucks? That’s a steal, even if the cable lengths are a bit on the stubby side.
Unfortunately, the latest batch of X-Power1’s won’t be able until August 25th, but you can keep up with the product on the company’s website.
