AES Showcases Latest Audio Innovations and Best Practices at 136th International Convention in Berlin
Posted: Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Graham Blyth Celebrates 20 years of Organ Concerts at AES 135
A Graham Blyth Organ Concert was held during the 135th AES Convention in New York, NY. The concert featured works by Marchand, Bach, Franck and Gigout. As a part of the concert Robert Schulein and Dan Mapes Riordan made a combined Binaural and HD video recording for downloading following the convention. This recording consists of a composition by César Franck (1822-1890): Trois Píéces (1878): Fantasie in A, Cantabile, and Píéce Héroïque.
The audio/video recordings have now been edited and uploaded to YouTube. The recordings have been formatted for either headphone or loudspeaker auditioning by AES members. For those that attended the concert, these recordings will allow the opportunity to compare the live event to a surround audio with video recording process compatible with today's consumer viewer/listening technology.

Young pastor exchanges politics for a pulpit
Genna Martin/The Herald
The Exchange Pastor Russell Johnson reads from the gospel of Luke at the Sunday evening service. Johnson helped to start The Exchange about two years ago.
Genna Martin/The Herald
Karyn Snyder, 20 (center), and brother Brandon Snyder, 17 (left), sing worship songs during a Sunday evening service at The Exchange, a weekly gathering for young adults at Cedar Park Church in Bothell. Around 100-150 people usually attend the 7:30 p.m. services.

"Let God sit on the throne of this generation," Pastor Russell Johnson says during a sermon Sunday night at The Exchange. The Exchange is a weekly church service for young adults at Cedar Park Church in Bothell.
Genna Martin/The Herald
Young people at The Exchange pray for each other at the end of an evening service on Sunday. Headed by Pastor Russell Johnson, The Exchange is a weekly gathering for young adults at Cedar Park Church in Bothell.
Genna Martin/The Herald
The Exchange members Jonathan and Felicia (last names not given) hug after Sunday evening's service.
Now, in what he considers his true calling, he's exhorting young adults to build a relationship with God as an associate pastor at Cedar Park Church in Bothell.
Johnson, a 27-year-old Everett resident, is the impassioned spiritual leader of The Exchange, which caters to young adults with a Sunday night service featuring performances by a five-piece band and his energetic and animated sermonizing.
Throughout each service, which begin at 7:30 p.m., there is intense praying with some coming to tears and others on the floor speaking in tongues.
Johnson said people walk away saying, 'I've never seen church done like this before.'
"We challenge them," he said of the congregants who range in age from 17 to 30. "I am not content to just babysit these young adults."
The Exchange began in the winter of 2011 when Senior Pastor Joe Fuiten asked Johnson to work with those in their late teens and twenties. It started with four people meeting the church's café.
"We began to pray and fast and God began to appear," Johnson said. "Word spread and people started coming."
Today, the Sunday service draws an average of 100 people.
"People just began to encounter God. It was like a revival with young people," he said.
The Exchange, Johnson explained, stands for a transformation brought about by prayer.
"You give yourself to Jesus and the exchange is he gives you new life," Johnson said.
Johnson, the son of a pastor, graduated from Shoreline Community College and earned an undergraduate degree in political studies at Seattle Bible College. He undertook graduate work in leadership studies at Vanguard University, a Christian college in Southern California.
"God got a hold of me and challenged me to not only live my life but to give my life to him," he said of his days in college.
But he veered into the world of politics before making his own personal exchange.
Four years ago, he worked as director of governmental affairs for the Family Policy Institute of Washington.
The Lynnwood-based group made headlines last year when its leader, Joseph Backholm, assumed a central role in the campaign against gay marriage in 2012.
Johnson worked on Republican Dino Rossi's campaign for U.S. Senate in 2010 and then for state Rep. Mike Hope, R-Mill Creek, before exiting to lead The Exchange.
Though Johnson is off the stage of politics, he's not lost his interest in it.
"If you would have asked me four years ago, my long-term goal was to one day get in Congress. I am not 100 percent sure I won't ever run for some elected office," he said. "At this juncture in my life, I have committed myself to see God invest in this generation."
He wants congregants to be good citizens as they strengthen their faith.
"I want people to vote in a way that honors God. I actually believe God cares about the way we vote," he said. "But politics isn't the answer for my generation. I think we're on the edge of the next great awakening. We don't want just a moment. We want a movement."

There are many in religion who attend who cannot see how they are in a cult. A poster here on the forum named "Fira" has now been placed in my category of "Probable Cult Member". Fira hinted he is under the controlling influences of mind control. Fira displayed that he is afraid to read a book because of what his god might do to him if he reads it. Fira is, as I recall, a Christian.
Any organization that encourages a person to shelve themselves from "outside influences" (like books) is sending up enormous red flags, must be considered cultish and therefore should be placed under scrutiny for consideration as a cult. The most basic litmus test for determining if any organization is cultish is to analyze if one can easily walk away from it without guilt or fear. But that does not work across the board since marriage and the Marine corp and even many professions could fall into cult categories. So I developed some more refined key indicators as follows:
1. Does the organization (Fira's religion) require that you attend meetings regularily? Is the individual encouraged to be "active" even at the detriment of other social gatherings not fostered by the organization?
2. Does the organization require that you perform regular and consistant work or duties on a gratis basis? Is there guilt induced from authority if any of this gratis work is not performed?
3. Does the organization require that you be tithed or donate monies to it? Is there a witholding of benefit of any degree observed if the individual declines to donate money? Is there any threat, specifically tied to an afterlife doom scenario, if money is not donated?
4. Is there any degree at all of withholding of any type of benefits of any kind whatsoever occurring if the individual does not meet a certain performance par held up by the organization?
5. Does the organization encourage the individual to only read organization-approved materials?
6. Does the organization warn against close affiliations with others that do not share the same views held highly by the organization?
7. Does the organization have dogmatic tenets of doctrine that cannot be supported, proven or substantiated and does the organization require the individual to believe in these tenets without question?
8. Is the individual threatened in any way, especially by any sort of afterlife doom, if that individual decides to no longer be a member?
9. Is there guilt and pennance involved for deeds considered "wrong" by the organization but otherwise the rest of the world sees no error?
If so, Fira, be warned here….

The Guide to Everything FrankWhy the Mickapedia? It started as a way for readers to get to know the people and places that semi-regularly find their way into my column. But it's also now becoming a kind of a glossary for the whole OC cultural/political/legal/social scene. At some point, we hope to have a more interactive way to participate, but for now, if you have suggestions for modifications or new entries, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Enjoy!
AAckerman, Linda. Swell gal who doesn't pull punches. Took her on historic VW bus ride in 2004. In 2008, she won seats on the national GOP committee and the powerful Metropolitan Water District board. Husband also dabbles in politics.
Agran, Larry. Irvine councilman and chairman of Great Park board. Frequent target who does so many things brilliantly but has this Shakespearean kind of flaw that leads him to make the occasional grandly horrible decision. It all traces back to Harvard.
Aitken, Wylie. Top personal-injury attorney and powerbroker. One of O.C.'s most prominent Democrats. Allows me to attend his completely unorganized Celtic Bar Assn. "meetings" at Muldoon's even though I'm neither Celtic nor a member of the Bar.
Albert. My brother Bruno's twin. Portland, Ore., screw (excuse me, high-quality fastener) salesman. Thinks he's funnier than me. He's just more starved for attention.
Allen, Jo Ellen. Well-coiffed Republican Party vice chairman. Tells me she's changing her hair style. We're waiting.
Angels. Style tip: "Anaheim Angels" in all references.
Ann &Mary. See Mary &Ann.
Anna Couturier. My former assistant, now at Columbia University. 2032 presidential candidate.
Antonello. One of my restaurants of choice for meeting sources. Owner is Antonio. Maitre'd is Thad. Favorite waiter is Dean. (Look for the "flair" on his lapels.)
Arellano, Gustavo. OC Weekly restaurant critic and "the Mexican" behind the "Ask a Mexican!" column. He asked to be included in the Mickapedia. For the latest edition he also requested the following: "I also kicked the ass of every single reporter your bosses put on the Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal - me, a weakling food critic!" (Hmm. I seem to remember a particular Register columnist getting a few licks in but, yes, Gustavo, you were right there at the start and then throughout. And, like you, I believe an inflated sense of self-worth is essential for a columnist.)
Aunt K. One of my father's sisters. Went missing near Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2006. I chronicled my search for her and attempts to find a safe place for her to live - and deal with houseful of her junk. Although she has Alzheimer's she's now safe and otherwise doing well in a board-and-care home in Maryland.
BBarbaro, Frank. Longtime Democratic activist in Orange County, he is back at the helm of the local party. Made a big splash in 2007 with a Truman Dinner that actually outdrew the Republican's annual signature event, the Flag Day Dinner. It helped that he got John Edwards to speak. Confidant of the grand patriarch of OC Dems, Richard O'Neill.
Baric, Steve. My sometime workout partner. Former deputy D.A. now in private practice. Worked for Mike Schroeder in the legal actions against Janet Nguyen and now holds statewide Republican Party office. President of the California Republican Lawyers Association. Part Canadian.
Barnett, John. Widely considered one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Orange County. Represented one of the cops in the Rodney King beating, one of the defendants in the Haidl case and fellow attorney Joe Cavallo in his conspiracy case. Son, Case, works in the county Public Defender's Office. Ruddy.

Don't be fooled by the handsomeness of The Duro. These are no pretty boy sunglasses, as they are constructed from extremely tough Grilamid TR-90 homopolyamide nylon for high alternative bending strength and resistance to chemical and UV damage. Hydrophilic rubber and nose pieces prevent slippage so that your shades stay fixed to your face, keeping you from having to take your hands off of the handlebar. The adjustable nose piece lets you dial in the fit for optimal comfort. Your line of vision goes unhindered with the vented lenses which improve air circulation to prevent fogging. The Duro is built to handle the abuse of backwood trails, yet they look right at home cruising the city streets or seaside boardwalk.

Comments about Tifosi Duro Sunglasses:
Had to return item. Bought it for mountain biking. It was somewhat tight and I actually consider my head size normal. I like that it came with 3 lenses but changing them around requires that you pop the lens off hard enough that it sounds like It will crack.

Comments about Tifosi Duro Sunglasses:
These shades offer good eye protection and fit well. Fit a little wider compared to the Dolomite 2. Tried them both. 3 sets of lenses are great. Use them all. Used mainly for mtn biking, and don't have to adjust them on my face much while on. Adjustable nose piece and killer warranty were big selling points for me. Love Tifosi's price range too. Hard to buy shades without trying them on first, but love these shades.
Best Uses
Comments about Tifosi Duro Sunglasses:
I noticed these shades a while back and was looking to replace my Spy Helio's I've been using for mountain biking. My Spy's are not meant for mountain biking and fell off my head pretty easy which lead them to getting scratched up.
This is my first pair of glasses with interchangable lens. I noticed I could have bought them on special for like $44 but I paid full price when I got these. I have to say they are well worth the $59 I paid! The first thing that impressed me was the large rubber nose piece. It helps keep the glasses off your face and eyebrows. This helps to prevent sweat from dripping on the glasses which tends to be an issue with my somewhat bushy eyebrows that sweat alot.
The glasses are VERY Comfortable and don't hurt my head at all! I hate the wrap around glasses that pench your head and give you a headache.
The lenses seem really nice and look great. I like that they have different brightness/protection for different days.

9/4/13 Miley Says She Made History
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, September 4, 2013
SIMON COWELL has been talking lately about feeling "paternal" and being excited for the birth of his baby. But he's not excited about EVERYTHING. One thing he's not looking forward to is diaper changing. He says, quote, "I'm not doing that, 100% absolutely not going near that!"
MILEY CYRUS claims everyone is overreacting to her "VMA" performance, and says she "didn't even think about it" when she was doing it. But she totally contradicts herself when she says, quote, "You're wanting to make history. Me and Robin [Thicke] the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now.'"
According to a new poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and "Vanity Fair", PRINCESS DIANA is the celebrity we'd most like to bring back from the dead. And actually she was the runaway winner. Diana got 35% of the vote, followed by STEVE JOBS with only 14%. MICHAEL JACKSON and WHITNEY HOUSTON tied for third with 11%. HEATH LEDGER got 9%, KURT COBAIN got 6% and JAMES GANDOLFINI got 3%.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN did a meet-and-greet at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas over the weekend. But what a lot of fans didn't know when they showed up was that they had to pay $150 PER PERSON to meet her. In fact, they were already in line for HOURS before someone came out and handed them flyers informing them of the fee. Those who actually paid it said they were rushed in and out so quickly, it was barely worth it. One woman who took her two kids to meet Kourtney was NOT happy. She claims she even called the day before and was told she didn't have to pay to meet Kourtney. She says, quote, "Don't they have enough money? . . . I'm not a fan anymore."
A drug dealer in New York City says Lamar Odom spent $50,000 on cocaine in three years. The dealer says he witnessed Odom use the drug on 10 occasions since 2010 when Lamar visited Queens in New York where he grew up. The man says Odom likes to party and his drug problem is getting worse.

Tuesday, September 3, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN may be ready to take her clothes off for us again. On an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" . . . filmed while she was still pregnant . . . Kim says, quote, "As soon as I pop this thing out, I want to do 'Playboy' or some nude shoot." Kim posed for "Playboy" in 2007 . . . and when they re-printed the photos in 2010, she wasn't happy. At the time she said, quote, "I'm sorry I did 'Playboy'. I was uncomfortable." On a related note, KRIS JENNER admits in a future episode that she and her husband BRUCE made a SEX TAPE.
The website Hollyscoop.com has put together a list of Stars Who Used to Be Strippers. Some of them might surprise you. The list includes . . .
Channing Tatum
Brad Pitt (As a student at the University of Missouri, he was a member of a group called the DANCING BARES.)
Lady Gaga (She was stripping at the age of 18.)
Catherine Zeta-Jones (She did it briefly, and only to earn enough money for a nose job.)
Javier Bardem (He did it once, when he was 20.)
Just days after the news came out that CLINT EASTWOOD and his wife DINA were divorcing, Clint was seen with a "mystery woman." Sources say she spent the night at his house, and he drove her to the airport the next morning. But yesterday Dina Tweeted, quote, "I don't like reading negative things about Clint. He is a wonderful, good natured, brilliant person. No matter what, I attest to that."
JUSTIN BIEBER and his crew are still under investigation for a nightclub assault. But over the weekend, Justin was the VICTIM of an assault at a Toronto club called Uniun. Sources say a guy tried to bum-rush Justin and tackle him as he was walking to the dance floor. He got a hold of Justin's shirt before the chaos was broken up. Justin tried to go after the guy, but he was being held back, too. The attacker was kicked out of the club, but he left with a souvenir . . . one of Justin's gold chains.

Monday, September 2, 2013
Lamar Odom's meltdown is continues in a big way. Odom was arrested for DUI Thursday night in Los Angeles after cops spotted his car driving only 50 miles per hour on a freeway. According to TMZ, Odom initially refused to acknowledge the cop's signal to pull over and drove past three exits until finally coming to a stop. He then failed several sobriety tests and was taken to a nearby police station, where he refused to take any chemical tests. Reportedly, Lamar's wife Khloe Kardashian is at the end of her rope and has once again kicked him out of the house until he can get clean and get his act together.
Kris and Bruce Jenner have been living separate lives lately but their relationship has reportedly hit a new low. According to reports, Kris hasn't been wearing her wedding ring and the couple hasn't had sex with each other in years. One source says, quote, "They've had problems for a long time and have been separated for months."
Amanda Bynes' doctors are recommending that she needs to be in the hospital long term to treat her mental illness. Amanda is being treated for a serious mental health disorder at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Sources say doctors have been observing Amanda, and there has been some improvement but they say her diagnosis is complex. They believe she would benefit from prolonged treatment at UCLA for at least the rest of the year.
8/30/13 Clint Eastwood Separated
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, August 30, 2013
Maybe JAMIE FOXX isn't seeing Katie Holmes after all. But it's not for lack of trying. At that party in the Hamptons last weekend, the two of them WERE working up a sweat on the dance floor. But apparently, Jamie over-estimated his mojo. A source says, quote, "They danced, and after a hug he grabbed her butt and tried to seal the deal. She was flattered, but not interested."
CLINT EASTWOOD and his wife DINA RUIZ have separated after almost 17 years of marriage. Dina told "Us Weekly" that she and Clint have been living apart for some time, but they "remain close". Clint is 83 . . . Dina is 48. They have a 16-year-old daughter together, and Clint has seven other kids from previous relationships. Clint and Dina appeared together on the E! reality show "Mrs. Eastwood and Company", which aired last year.
FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL welcomed their baby boy yesterday. They named him AXL JACK. Fergie had a C-section, by the way.
STEVE CHMELAR, the inventor of the foam finger, doesn't approve of how Miley used it at the "VMAs". He says, quote, "I would say that it certainly misrepresented its intent to encourage team support. She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it." However, he thinks the foam finger will endure . . . and he hopes Miley will do the same.
16-year-old KYLIE JENNER caused a three-car accident in Calabasas, California on Wednesday . . . just 18 days after getting her license. Witnesses say Kylie rear-ended someone in her brand new $125,000 Mercedes SUV . . . causing that car to smash into the back of the vehicle in front of it. It was a pretty minor accident and no one was seriously injured. Sources say Kylie immediately jumped out of the car to make sure everyone was okay, and everybody exchanged insurance information.
8/29/13 Jamie Fox and Katie Holmes and Item?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, August 29, 2013
MICHAEL DOUGLAS and CATHERINE ZETA-JONES are separated. Their rep says they're, quote, "taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage." They've been married 13 years, and have a 13-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter.
We heard recently that someone was trying to sell nude photos of DEMI LOVATO . . . and now, there are some "preview images" online. Apparently, the pictures are going around now because of a girl Demi is kissing in one of the photos.
JAMIE FOXX and KATIE HOLMES were seen getting cozy at a benefit in New York over the weekend, leading to speculation that they're DOING IT. One source says they're just old friends, but another claims they've been seeing each other for a few months.
The "Star" tabloid claims that Ryan Gosling is having trouble keeping up with his girlfriend EVA MENDES and her, quote, "insatiable sexual appetite." A source says, quote, "Eva wants Ryan all the time. But he works day and night, so he's always tired. He can't keep up with her." And, of course, this is putting a strain on the relationship.
JUSTIN BIEBER was pulled over yesterday for running a stop sign . . . and ended up being ticketed for not having a valid California driver's license. The incident occurred near Justin's home in Calabasas. Justin had to let his passenger drive the rest of the way home.

Rounds 3, 4 of Mid-States Conference To Hallett
Hallett Tradition: When drivers across the Midwest speak of a Club Racing track, they speak fondly of Hallett and the tradition it holds. Originally founded by Toly Aruntunoff, a longtime SCCA Club racer and still a Tulsa resident, the 37-year-old facility hosts a layout that thrills drivers in the SafeRacer National Series.
Majors Count: Through early-season races in the Eastern, Western and Mid-States Conferences, the Majors program has gotten rave reviews from participants. Each of the early season events has seen increased participation from comparable National Races a season ago. The weather in Hallett for this weekend's Major indicates another increase this weekend, with 110 entries on the entry list.
Green Flags: The 10-car E Production race is very top heavy, including Mid-States Conference point leader and double winner at Circuit of the Americas Matt Reynolds, three-time National Champion Jesse Prather, and Pirelli World Challenge race winner Tony Rivera… Defending Spec Miata National Champion Jim Drago and Craig Berry split the weekend at COTA in March. Both are on the entry list this weekend… Eric Prill and Sam Henry split the F Production race at COTA, and resume the point battle this weekend at Hallett… Keith Verges beat an 80-plus car field in Spec Racer Ford at COTA, and Denny Stripling was on the podium both days. Expect each of them to contend for race wins this weekend, as well… In Formula Mazda, the Saturday podium in Round 1 was Alan McCallum, followed by Timothy Reger and Darryl Wills. Wills was the victor over McCallum on Sunday at COTA. All three are back for Round Three and Four this weekend.
The Dawn Of An Era: In September 2012, the Sports Car Club of America rolled out the U.S. Majors Tour as the top level of amateur racing in this country. With events coast-to-coast and split into four Conferences, the Mid-States Conference season opened at the brand-new Circuit of the Americas and continues this weekend at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit. Drivers are coming from all over the Mid-West to participate in the weekend, featuring an enhanced race experience for drivers and fans, from pre-race to post-race activities.
SCCA Club Racers – The Best In The Country: There many amateur road racing groups in the United States, but the clear leader of top drivers is with the SCCA. Though most are weekend warriors who take vacations from their full-time jobs to attend races, it's a craft taken seriously. Bobby Rahal, Mark Donohue, Roger Penske, Michael Andretti, and actor/driver Paul Newman got their start in SCCA Club Racing. More recently, you could have seen current stars Boris Said, Graham Rahal, Sam Hornish or J.R. Hildebrand at an SCCA Club race. This weekend features National Champions, professional race winners and series champions, and up-and-coming stars on the entry list.

On Friday April 19, 2013 at 4:49 p.m. the Fountain Valley Police Department responded to a call of a robbery at the CITI Bank located at 17400 Brookhurst Street. A suspect had entered the bank and handed the bank teller a note demanding money. After receiving cash from the teller, the suspect fled from the bank and was last seen running south through the parking lot.
Detectives from the Fountain Valley Police Department investigated a tip provided by a witness from a bank nearby where the suspect had been acting suspiciously just prior to committing the robbery at CITI Bank. This tip ultimately led to the identification of John Mclaughlin, a 35 year old parolee from Long Beach, CA. Mclaughlin had recently been released from prison and was on parole after being convicted of robbery in 2010.
On 4-22-13 at 7:48 p.m. Detectives from the Fountain Valley Police Department and the FBI located Mclaughlin in the city of Long Beach. Mclaughlin was taken into custody without incident. A portion of the money believed to have been taken during the robbery was recovered. Mclaughlin was booked into Orange County Jail pending charges for Robbery, possession of methamphetamine, and a parole violation.
FVPD Case #13-1683

VANCEBORO — Chandler Seagle came to the plate with the score tied and runners at second and third base.
Later in his at bat, Seagle blooped a ball into the outfield for a two-run single in the sixth inning to lift the Bears to a 5-3 win at West Craven Thursday.
"I choked up on the bat and put the ball in play and tried to get the runs in," Seagle said.
With one out, Austin King was plunked by a pitch. He advanced all the way to third on Josh Taylor's infield single.
King tied the game at 3-3 after crossing home on a wild pitch.
After Taylor and Mincavage moved up 90 feet, Seagle provided
"It was good to see him come through."
"(West Craven coach) Mike (McKeel) has done a real good job since he's been coach," Smith said. "I think the kids on both teams have gotten closer as friends. It adds to the rivalry.
"West Craven has always had a very aggressive, fired up style of play. You better come to play."
Without getting a hit, West Craven (6-1) answered with two runs in the bottom of the second. Logan Nobles and Tyler Williams both drew bases loaded walks.
The bases were left full when Bears' relief pitcher Colin Schmid struck out Justin Taylor with two outs.
"All I wanted them to do is to come out and compete," said West Craven coach Mike McKeel. "We were going after it to win and we were doing everything we could. It was a great ballgame."
The Bears evened the score at 2-2 after King's sacrifice fly scored Bailey Ipock in the third. West Craven regained the lead when Kenny McDaniel hit a sacrifice fly to score Hunter Hackney.
"We competed for seven innings and that's a good stepping stone for us right now."
"When you look at his swing, you would think he is not the prototypical No. 3 hitter," Smith said. "He is successful because he is a competitor and a tremendous athlete.
"We feel like if he can get on base, he has a good chance of scoring because of his speed and that guys hitting behind him."
Bailey Jones pitched an inning and two-thirds, and walked five. Schmid allowed just two hits in two and two-thirds innings of relief.
"After our shaky start on the mound, I thought Colin did a tremendous job keeping us in the game, giving us a chance to win," Smith said.
Nobles and Williams combined to reach base five times for West Craven. Blake Fellers doubles, and Eagles' hitters walked seven times.

Overview of content related to 'cd-rom'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'cd-rom'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
A CD-ROM (acronym of "Compact Disc Read-only memory") is a pre-pressed compact disc that contains data accessible to, but not writable by, a computer for data storage and music playback. The 1985 'Yellow Book' standard developed by Sony and Philips adapted the format to hold any form of binary data. CD-ROMs are popularly used to distribute computer software, including video games and multimedia applications, though any data can be stored (up to the capacity limit of a disc). Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of being played on a CD player, while data (such as software or digital video) is only usable on a computer (such as ISO 9660 format PC CD-ROMs). These are called enhanced CDs. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: CD-ROM)

Integrated BS/MS Transition to the MS Program
Students in the B.S./M.S. will have their academic records reviewed upon conferral of the B.S. degree. At that time, the Graduate Studies Committee will decide, dependent upon a student's academic success in prescribed coursework, whether the student will be admitted to the M.S. degree program effective the following Fall quarter.
Upon conferral of the B.S. degree, those students admitted to the M.S. degree program will be instructed to complete the UCSD online graduate application and submit required documentation. Completion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is recommended but not required. The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) will send official notification of student acceptance to the M.S. degree. Students do not become M.S. degree / graduate students until the Fall quarter.
Once students are admitted into the M.S. program, they are expected to complete all requirements for the M.S. degree, including completion of a written Master's Thesis. M.S. degree program requirements can be found in the UCSD General Catalog and/or on the BENG website. M.S. degree students are not allowed to transfer to the M.Eng. degree without strong justification and the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.

Climate change in the next century (and beyond) could be enormously disruptive, spreading disease and sparking wars. It could also be a windfall for some people, businesses, and nations. A guide to how we all might get along in a warming world. Apr 2007
The termite's stomach, of all things, has become the focus of large-scale scientific investigations. Could the same properties that make the termite such a costly pest help us solve global warming? Sep 2008
Busted budgets, failing schools, overcrowded prisons, gridlocked government—California no longer beckons as America's promised land. Except, that is, in one area: creating a new energy economy. But is its path one the rest of the nation can follow? Oct 2009
Both sides on the issue of greenhouse gases frame their arguments in terms of science, but each new scientific finding only raises new questions -- dooming the debate to be a pointless spiral. It's time, the authors argue, for a radically new approach: if we took practical steps to reduce our vulnerability to today's weather, we would go a long way toward solving the problem of tomorrow's climate. Jul 2000
Slow-but-steady is not only the easiest approach to dealing with global warming; it is also the most effective. Mar 2007

Wonder if they're still gonna keep Harden? With the Lakers forming another super team out West IMO the Thunder have no choice but to keep Harden now to remain in title contention. They can't afford to take a step back in hopes that they can find someone cheaper to fill Harden's shoes if he were to depart the team via free agency.Serge Ibaka agrees to extension
The Oklahoma City Thunder have locked up another of their core players by agreeing to a contract extension with center Serge Ibaka, according to a report.
Ibaka agreed to a four-year deal worth $48 million, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Considered an above-average defensive player, Ibaka would've been eligible to become a restricted free agent next summer.
Ibaka would be the latest member of the Western Conference champion Thunder to reach a long-term extension, joining Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
The 6-foot-10 Ibaka, who just completed his third season, averaged 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.6 blocks this past season. He also was a member of Spain's silver medal-winning team at the London Olympics.

Plenty of statistics get printed through the newspaper every year.
It starts now with competitions, touchdowns and kills. By winter they'll be into layups and 3-pointers. In the spring, it turns into hits, strikeouts and RBIs. Stats are how athletes at any level, from prep to pro, are recognized. What did they do? How did their contribution help the team? They signify an individual's apparent value to their team.
When it comes time to recognize these athletes, these same stats will carry a certain amount of weight, as they should, with athletes looking to achieve honors at the team, county and even the state levels.
It's a feat hard enough on its own, made even harder with trying to balance a normal high school schedule, complete with homework and other activities. Things that result in a statistic of their own — grade point average.
Oftentimes in coverage of local student athletes, it's that last statistic that gets overlooked at times, despite the consequences it can have related to the experiences after high school. A GPA could be the difference between an athlete going Division I or Division III once they graduate.
For senior athletes that value both high academic performance and high athletic skill, Mountaire Farms is once again teaming with Civitas Media, the parent company of the Robesonian and the Bladen Journal, to offer the Scholar-Athlete of the Month award program to athletes attending schools in Robeson, Bladen and Scotland counties.
Nominations are now open for this year's program, which will honor its first athlete in late September and give away a $1,000 scholarship to a winner each month until June. Monthly winners will be eligible for an extra $1,500 scholarship that will be awarded in June to the male and female Scholar-Athletes of the Year.
Winners will also receive an engraved crystal trophy and their school receives a banner acknowledging the accomplishment.
Upon selection, the winner each month will be the focus of a story that will run in The Robesonian, the Bladen Journal and the Laurinburg Exchange. Nominated students must be seniors that participate on two or more varsity teams, as captain of one, and carry at least a 3.0 GPA.
When nominating a student, include their name, gender, the name of their school and which sports the athlete participates in. A coach recommendation and a transcript, report card or other form verifying the student's grades must also be submitted at the time of nomination.
All nominations can be mailed to The Robesonian, attn: Scott Schlaufman, PO Box 1098, Lumberton, N.C. Nominations outside of Robeson County can also be given to Corbin Ensminger at the Laurinburg Exchange or Curt Vincent at the Bladen Journal.
Last year's awards honored athletes from five schools within the program's reach, which included the first winner from Scotland County, three from Bladen, and six from Robeson.
Some overcame obstacles such as the loss of loved ones, others simply worked tirelessly to give back to the communities they were raised in, all while putting together grades that any parent would be proud of despite the pressures of still only having 24 hours in a day.
Winners had a variety of backgrounds, from football and basketball to cheerleading, softball and swimming. The 10 recipients averaged a 4.2 GPA and participated in numerous clubs around the school.
The Scholar-Athlete isn't intended to be an award for every athlete, nor is it meant to be that way. It takes talent to succeed on the field and even more to succeed off it simultaneously.
Those who can properly do both deserve the recognition.

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Porting from Jetty [345].x to Jetty 6
Jetty 6 represents a major refactoring of the Jetty code based and thus if you are coding to the Jetty APIs you can expect that some considerable reworking of your code will be required. However, if your code is mostly against the servlet specification or closely related to it, then little or no changes should be required and only configuration need be updated.
Architectural Changes
There have been two major changes in the architecture of Jetty 6, both intended to improve the modularity and allow interceptor style extension.
Merged HTTP Request API and Servlet Request API
In Jetty <=5, there was an API for pure Jetty HTTP requests and responses. The Jetty requests and responses where wrapped by the ServletHandler to provide the Servlet API for requests and responses. This architecture allowed for handlers to be written without servlet dependencies. However, given the re-entrant nature of Request Dispatches and the increasing involvement of the servlet spec in all common handlers (resoures, security, etc.). This Jetty/Servlet duality became an unwanted complexity when extending the server.
In Jetty 6, all requests and responses are based on the Servlet APIs requests and responses. This imposes a 136k JAR dependency on all jetty runtimes, but allows for significant reduction in the Jetty jar itself, as a parallel API is not required and much complexity is removed. Importantly this does not mean that all request are servlet requests and must be delivered by servlets. It simply means that jetty reuses the Servlet API as its own API for
common methods such as getParameter(String),getOutputStream() and getQueryString().
All Servlet facility, such as contexts, session, security, filters and servlets themselves are options. Only when the appropriate handlers are configured will the relevant parts of the servlet request/response API be active. For example:
- Without a SessionHandler the getSession() will always return null.
- Without a ContextHandler the getContext() path will always return null and the complete URI path will be available via getPathInfo()
Handlers are interceptors/filters.
In Jetty <=5, handlers were called in sequence, one after the other, until the request is marked as handled. This allowed for shallow calling stacks, but did not allows for simple and safe before/after handling using try {{ {} finally {} }}constructs.

Fellow Boeing workers come to aid of injured friend
Fellow machinists come to aid of man injured on the job

Many hands help Rob Carver (left) and Charles McArthur as they build a fence for injured Boeing worker Stan Sprague at his Lake Stevens home.

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Stan Sprague looks up from helping put together a gate for a fence Sunday morning at his Lake Stevens home.
Stan Sprague, 35, a Boeing mechanic, was injured at Paine Field last year when he was caught in the wing flap of a 747, severely damaging his lungs and triggering cardiac arrest.
He was heavily sedated and treated for a week in the intensive care unit of Seattle's Harborview Medical Center. During the 17 days he was hospitalized, he lost 30 pounds.
On April 5, nearly a year ago to the day, Sprague walked out of the hospital. His discharge was far earlier than when doctors initially predicted, but he faced months of recovery.
Nerve damage had so weakened his shoulder muscles that for months he had problems lifting his right arm. "I couldn't play catch with the dogs," he said.
And then there was what he calls his "wing," when his shoulder blade would unexpectedly and painfully pop out of place.
Even with these problems, Sprague hated sitting around at home with little to occupy his time. "Stir crazy," is how he describes the eight months he waited until his doctor gave him the OK to return to work part time in January.
On Sunday, his fellow Boeing machinists gathered at his home to finish a project he had planned in the fall -- marking his property boundary with 400 feet of wire field fencing and installing gates in his back yard.
The project was undertaken in collaboration with United Way of Snohomish County, which paid for the fencing material.
Volunteers had to step in because, Sprague said, a contractor hired to complete the project took off with the $700 he had paid him and the materials.
Stephanie Agnew of Seattle said she turned out for the work party because she knew the family needed help.
"It makes me feel good," she said. "And I get to use a hammer."
Sprague said he was amazed that people he had never previously met turned out for the volunteer project.
"It was great," his wife Nichole Sprague said. "It was hard to keep it together seeing so many people we don't even know come out and help.
"It makes you feel better about people," she said. "There are still some good people out there that will bend over backwards to help people."
Jason Redrup, a union business representative who helped organize the work party, said the project is just the latest example of volunteer projects taken on by Machinists union. Over the past year, members have donated 10,500 hours of volunteer work, helping with the annual Toys for Tots drive, the Letter Carriers food drive and ramp and deck projects for people in need.
"We have a lot of people who like to give back to the community," Redrup said.
Sprague said that during a medical appointment scheduled for this week, he hoped to talk the doctor into allowing him to extend his work hours to six hours a day.
Any such decision will at least temporarily be put on hold. Sprague was treated and released from the emergency department of Providence Regional Medical Center Everett on Sunday afternoon after experiencing a seizure.
Doctors don't know exactly what caused the problem, Nichole Sprague said. "Sometimes people will have a seizure and then never have one again."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â" Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock refused to apologize Wednesday for saying that rape resulting in pregnancy is "something God intended."
State Republicans and a few congressional leaders defended Mourdock, whose prospects of winning the seat long held by the GOP are unclear.
But with female voters critical in the tight presidential race and other stalemated contests two weeks before Election Day, many in the party distanced themselves with varying levels of abruptness and clarity, underscoring the difficult nature of the uproar even among other anti-abortion Republicans.
Indiana gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence sought an apology from Murdock. Indiana House candidate Jackie Walorski, meanwhile, issued three statements Wednesday: two disagreeing with Mourdock and one suggesting that Republicans get back to talking about President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
That didn't happen Wednesday as the issue ricocheted around the nation's political landscape, from the presidential contest on down.
Mourdock, meanwhile, dove into damage control Wednesday, explaining that he abhors violence of any kind and regrets that some may have misconstrued and "twisted" his comments. But he stood behind the original remark in Tuesday night's debate.
"I spoke from my heart. And speaking from my heart, speaking from the deepest level of my faith, I would not apologize. I would be less than faithful if I said anything other than life is precious, I believe it's a gift from God," Mourdock said at a news conference Wednesday.
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's campaign quickly said he disagrees with Mourdock's initial remarks, but Romney did not cancel a television ad in which he endorses the Senate candidate. New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte canceled an event scheduled for Wednesday with Mourdock.
But Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and Texas Sen. John Cornyn issued statements of support, acutely aware that Mourdock's fortunes in Indiana could hold the key to winning control of the Senate. Republicans must gain four seats if President Barack Obama is re-elected, three if Romney prevails.
In Indiana, it wasn't supposed to be this way. Mourdock's upset of veteran Republican Sen. Richard Lugar in the May primary created an opening for Democrats looking to fight for what would have otherwise been a safe GOP seat. The surprisingly close race between Mourdock and Democrat Joe Donnelly has spurred national Republicans to send more money and national stars to Indiana recently in an attempt to hold the seat.
Although Ayotte cancelled plans to headline a fundraiser for Mourdock in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Republican Women Club pushed on with the fundraiser. Speaking inside the closed-door event, Indiana Republican Party Chairman Eric Holcomb declined to comment on Mourdock's explanation Wednesday and said the loss of Ayotte from the trail Wednesday would not slow their efforts to elect Mourdock.
"I think we're moving full steam ahead," he said.
Mourdock's rape comment seemed to fall a few steps short of Republican U.S. Rep. Todd Akin's comment earlier this summer that a woman's body would block against pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape," both in terms of the comment itself and its potential impact in the race.
National Republican and conservative groups, including Crossroads GPS, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Club for Growth, continued their on-air assault against Donnelly. A Democratic source tracking ad buys nationally said Wednesday there was no effort from Mourdock supporters to pull out of the state, as there was in Missouri, following Akin's comments.
Democrats capitalized on the remarks Wednesday, holding press calls and press conferences and cutting Web ads tying Romney to Mourdock. Donnelly appeared in downtown Indianapolis in front of the Julian Center, which counsels victims of rape, sex trafficking and abuse.
"It is hurtful to women, to survivors of rape and to their families," Donnelly said. "His words were extreme, but more important, hurtful to victims of sexual abuse."
Mourdock refashioned himself at the end of the summer, moving away from the tea party rhetoric that carried him to victory over Lugar and attempting to refocus the race on Donnelly's vote in support of the federal health care law.
Throughout a political career that dates back to the 1980s, Mourdock always has maintained that he opposes abortion except in cases where the life of the mother is at risk.
Donnelly opposes abortion but supports exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. However, the Democrat was among more than 200 lawmakers, most of them Republicans, who backed legislation last year that would have cut off federal aid for abortion services, even in cases of rape and incest. A spokeswoman later said the congressman didn't realize the bill would go that far.
It was still unclear Wednesday whether Mourdock's comments would hurt his chances in Indiana, a state that has increasingly become dominated by social conservatives over the last few election cycles. A federal appeals court blocked the Indiana General Assembly's effort to defund Planned Parenthood earlier Tuesday and state lawmakers will likely consider legislation next year to allow the teaching of Creationism.
Downtown Indianapolis workers taking their lunch break in the warm October sunshine for the most part said they didn't think Mourdock meant his remark the way it sounded, but they hadn't intended to vote for him anyway. Most said they hadn't watched the debate but had heard the buzz about what Mourdock said.
"It came across as that's God's will for that woman to be raped," said Judy Stratom, a 50-year-old administrative worker. "I don't think that's what he meant, but that's the way the world took it."
"I honestly don't think he meant to say that rape was a gift from God," said office worker Saundra Taylor, 48, who was relaxing on a bench on the steps of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. "I think he could have worded it better."
Associated Press writer Charles D. Wilson in Indianapolis contributed to this report.
