DeltaWalker '08 (v1.5.6) Dec 3, 2007
DeltaWalker '08 comes with the following new features and enhancements:
File comparison report generation.
An all-new report generation engine, capable of creating reports in both HTML and XML formats, presents:
- A summary of the comparison results.
- The pathnames of the files being compared.
- All preferences and their values used by the text comparison algorithm.
- A high-fidelity, side-by-side visual HTML rendition of the compared files. When XML files are being compared the report can optionally include a representation of both the text and the structure comparison view, painting a complete picture of the XML differences from two, complementing each other, angles.
- XML and HTML reports are ideal means for creating electronic snapshots of the differences b/n pairs of files. Such snapshots can easily be stored and used to trace the change history of files of interest. They are also well suited for electronic exchange e.g. via email of detailed differencing information about such files of interest, without the actual files being present.
- Consistent HTML reports rendering across browsers and operating systems.
Folder comparison report generation:
- Exhibits all characteristics of file comparison reports described above.
- Offers âLinked Reportsâ â the ability of the folder comparison report generator to optionally create and include links to individual file comparison reports of a) Different files B) Selected files C) All files d) No files.
Visibility filters
Offer a powerful way to quickly and easily toggle the visibility of a) Added b) Deleted c) Different and d) Same files. The Visibility and the Search filters can be easily and transparently combined offering you, the user, a uniquely-powerful way to look at your folder and XML file comparison results from different perspectives. Using Visibility and Search filters you can display and operate only on the types of differences you want or zoom in on items â XML nodes or files and folders â of interest to you. This is particularly useful in comparisons with hundreds and thousands of items.
Preferences dropdown menu button
on the main toolbar offering instant access to preferences that directly affect the work of the text comparison algorithm and the visualization of its results. These include:
- Ignore Whitespace
- Ignore Whitespace
- Ignore Character case
- Ignore Line Delimiters
- Show Inline Differences
- Show Whitespace
Structure toolbar
A new toolbar, part of the main application toolbar, now the home for operations common to folder and XML comparisons. The Structure toolbar currently includes:
Visibility filters drop-down menu-button
Its menu items include the four visibility filters:
- Show Same
- Show Different
- Show Added
- Show Deleted
Its default action is to toggle the visibility state of the âSameâ items.
Select/Deselect Items drop-down menu-button
Its menu items include six selection-related actions:
- Select Different
- Select Added
- Select Deleted
- Select Different, Added, and Deleted
- Invert Selection
- Select All
Exapand/Collapse Nodes drop-down menu-button
Contains five expansion-related actions:
- Expand Different, Added and Deleted
- Expand All
- Expand Different, Added, and Deleted in Selection
- Expand All in Selection
- Collapse All
Search field
The Search field, previously available only to Folder comparison now available to XML file comparison as well. The state and the settings of the Search filter specific to each comparison window are saved and applied as one switches between these windows.
Redesigned folder and XML file comparison context sensitive menus
They now include all actions common to both comparisons as well as two new actions:
- Expand Different, Added, and Deleted in Selection
- Expand All in Selection.
These two actions offer a powerful way to work with very large structure comparisons which would otherwise impose performance issues. In combination with the built-in performance optimization preferences that do not expand nodes with differences for very large comparisons, these actions offer the ability to work selectively only with branches/hierarchies of interest.
Improved folder comparison preference pages
- Two new preferences for finer control of the folder comparison algorithm â Compare file timestamps and Compare file size.
- Improved options and default values for structure comparison algorithm optimization, including a new option to control the notification for local changes to the files and folders being compared.
- Added tooltips for preferences whose meaning is not immediately clear.
- Improved supporting text and labels to the Folder Comparison Filters preference pages.
Improved memory footprint and download size
DeltaWalker 1.5.6 memory footprint is ~7MB less than before; it's startup time is improved by ~10%; it's download size by ~6MB.
The download size of the Windows MSI installer in particular was reduced by more than 50% - from 33.8MB to 14.8MB by using more agressive compression techiniques.
New application bundle package for Mac OS X
The new application bundle is more consistent with the Mac OS X guidelines for such packages
"Compare with DeltaWalker" droplet
The new droplet, named Compare with DeltaWalker accepts files dropped onto it and opens them in DeltaWalker for comparison.
Version 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 contain infrastructure changes that make this new functionality unavailable as software updates. That is, users of previous DeltaWalker versions need to uninstall DeltaWalker and install the new version to take advantage of the new functionality.
Deltopia recommends version 1.5.6 to all users of prior DeltaWalker versions.

While that's not going to be as fast as the HTC EVO 4G, it's no slacker either. Also on board is WiFi, a 3.2-megapixel camera, Sprint TV, music player (the phone will support up to a 32GB microSD card), and Android 2.1. The cell phone also has a touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for typing out e-mails and quick messages. All and all, this phone falls nicely between the EVO 4G and the Samsung Moment.

I recently traveled a ways to make it to my youngest sister's graduation from Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. We listened to the commencement speaker give a rather frank assessment of what lay before these young, ambitious rookies to the American workforce. He didn't sugar coat it; it's tough out there. With all the daily buzz about the economic woes the world has faced and is currently facing, how do we best prepare the graduating class of 2012?
Is it right to stand up at a commencement address and give them the real story? Does it help their hope and optimism to share reports and numbers that more than half of them are not expected to find full employment this year? What does it say to them when we prophesize that many of their peers will be resigning to move back home with Mom and Dad this year and will likely be hanging onto those jobs waiting tables that helped them get through college?
On the flip side, what would they say to us if we sent them off to the world with platitudes espousing the opportunity of the American dream and the ideal that they have the ability to do whatever they want? Is it wise to share with them the stories of countless others who despite tough economic times were able to rise above, differentiate themselves and make millions along the way? Is showering them with what's possible, just sheltering them from what's real?
My college graduation was over 10 years ago. I feel like I have taken several steps beyond that phase of my life. Still, the opportunity to spend an afternoon at Berea College, in that place and time of commencement brought back a bit of nostalgia for me. I remembered the thrill of completing years upon years of education. It was a thrill in a very amusement park ride sense of the word. After walking across the stage, I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach being the same feeling asdescending that first hill of a rollercoaster. Intellectually, I knew that the ride had been tested thoroughly and that the safety bar across my lap would keep my body firmly in place. At the same time, through the shaking, screeching, and the wall of wind assaulting my face, I screamed out loud, fearful that I might not make it to the bottom of the hill alive, let alone to the end of the ride. The juxtaposition between what I knew and what I felt at that time of commencement, helped fuel the thrill of the rollercoaster ride.
There is an old cliché that life is a rollercoaster. The post-college life might be bigger, faster and more intense than the ride in college. At the same time, the rules aren't so different. Stay in your seat, keep your hands and feet inside at all times and safely sit back to enjoy the ride.

Survey of Energy Resources Interim Update 2009
Geothermal update
The world has a huge geothermal resource that can be, and in many instances is, utilised for direct use, but there are just 24 countries which experience temperatures high enough for the generation of electricity. Of these 24, just 3 saw a very significant increase in capacity between 2005 and 2007.
The USA led with an estimated increase of nearly 375 MWe, but a proportion of the country's capacity is considered to be on standby. Iceland more than doubled its installed capacity between 2005 and 2007 and although the country already uses both its geothermal and hydro resource to a very large degree, government policy is set to expand renewable energy usage still further, as witnessed by the Iceland Deep Drilling Project. Indonesia, now a net oil importer, has turned to its enormous geothermal resource to provide a source for electricity generation. The country saw an increase of 25% in capacity between 2005 and 2007 and there are many projects either under construction or planned.
Australia, which at the present time has a negligible amount of geothermally-derived electricity generation, is currently undertaking an assessment of its vast hot-rock resources.

BMW to fit cars with lasers
It sounds like something out of a James Bond movie, or Dr. Evil demanding "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads," but BMW is actually developing lasers for use in headlights. The company sees lasers as the next step after LED headlights.
BMW says the key advantage to lasers are their efficiency. Where LEDs generate 100 lumens per watt, lasers generate 170 lumens per watt. When used in an electric car, laser headlights would draw less energy from the battery.
To make lasers safe for use in headlights, BMW filters the lights through a fluorescent phosphor … Read more

Best Mexican food in town....don't forget the delicious margaritas & drinks...!!! No doubt...!!!
comida muy buena!!!! – the food here seems to be great! I havent been here in years but from what I recall their Mexican rice is absolutly delicious!
Really Enjoy The Food!! – I enjoy their food here. Lots of mouth watering flavor and I like the super fast way they get the food out to you, without feeling hurried. More accurately, I think I should say that the food comes out in successions, at the perfect timing.
The best in town!!! – I've been going there since I was a little girl. The people there are really friendly n their food is so good! I've never had 1 bad experience there and its true their food is cheap but they don't cheap out on taste. I have gotten my bf hooked on their food its the go to spot.
BEST CHEAPEST MEXICAN NEAR USC – Ive been going here since i went to USC and it is STILL the best. Great staff, great atmosphere, cheap excellent food with big portions, their queso appetizer is awesome.. and lets not forget the cheap wonderful margaritas! I will always go out of my way to go here.
Roach Salsa! – I have been there on more than 1 occasion but one particular time my friends and 1 went and there was a roach in the house salsa. Now when the management came by he had the nerve to infer that we put it in the salsa which made the experience worse. So long story short DONT GO!
My Favorite College Food Spot – I've had many great memories with LA BARCA! Margaritas, tacos and AMAZING chips/salsa! The atmosphere is ideal for large groups and socializing! There's always a positive and energetic vibe at La Barca. The waiters are sassy and welcoming in the best of ways!! If you order THE COLOSSAL Burrito, you will honestly have to share!! It's GIGANTIC, yet AMAZING!! Probably the biggest burrito in LA!! La Barca left me with many great college memories and I will always highly recommend!
Cheap food & great atmosphere! – I really enjoyed my time at La Barca on Friday evening - it was packed with the USC crowd, as well as families with kids - in the small entrance way, it was standing room barely! But once you get in, the margaritas are flowing, the 2 big screen tv's were showing the Laker game - it was pretty much all good. Seems to be able to pull of being a family restaurant as well as a trendy, hipster hang-out.
You get what you pay for – This is a good place to hang out with cheap food. If you are looking for outstanding food and service, then go somewhere else. There is some truth to, "you get what you pay for". This is that place, decent food for cheap prices. I like it though. I would rather wait in line for a $2.50 strawberry margarita, then go right in for a $14 apple martini.
Disappointed – This is was my first time going here, but had heard a lot about it... it was a Saturday night, 7 PM, about a 35 min. wait. That seemed about right, but when we were seated, our waiter took a long time. We understood it was packed. Our appetizer came out fast and I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas and my husband ordered the carne asada plate. The plates were mediocre at best. We are Mex-American, so yes, we have had great Mexican food, but we expected a lot better from all of the reviews. Honestly, if you're Mexican, you will know just what I mean. I wouldn't recommend going here for Mexican. The rice was not very good and the beans didn't have much flavor and the enchiladas didn't really have any of the green sauce on them.
The wait was sooooo long to get our check. We even told the guy picking up plates that if we didn't get our check, we were going to have to leave, so finally he had to bring it over and that isn't even his job.
The only okay thing was the strawberry margarita. It was okay, not all that. I've had better.
We also had the "Pachanga" appetizer and it was more chips than anything. It wasn't very good to be honest.
You may think I'm being biased, but honestly, it's just not very good and not authentic and simply too packed to go back there again. After the food and service, we definitely will not be going back.
I hope this helps.

When Krop girls' basketball standout Nkiru Anyagaligbo was recently stranded by a flat tire, she called her coach. Less than an hour later, Ray Thompson was there, at her service.
Such is the life of a coach, but Thompson's mission that day was far from an isolated example of kindness.
According to his players, Thompson, 48, always has his players' best interests at heart. His ability to relate to them helps explain how Krop (16-3, 12-0) leads District 13-8A despite losing three key transfers after last season. The Lightning will face Jackson in Tuesday's GMAC quarterfinals.
Ieshia Small, whom Thompson called a "once-in-a-lifetime" player, was the biggest loss, yet she transferred with his blessing.
Small, ranked by ESPN as the 19th best senior prospect in the nation and No. 3 in the state, was orphaned when her mother, Michelle Robinson, died of a heart attack on March 1, 2011.
After staying at a foster-care facility in Miami that Small compared to a jail, she and her younger brother were invited to live in Tallahassee with the family of her AAU coach, Kimberly Davis Powell.
"Her transfer wasn't about basketball to me," said Thompson, who is in his 13th season as Krop's coach. "It was about being able to go home to a family."
Small, who was recently adopted by Powell, said Thompson was the only one at Krop who "totally supported my decision."
The other two transfers who bolted Krop after last season were Brandi Harrington, who made first-team All-Dade in 2012, and Maika'la McCloud. Both transferred to Miami Pace.
Had all three remained, Krop likely would have been the favorite to win an 8A state title, going one step further than last year when it made the final for the first time in school history before losing to Orlando's Dr. Phillips 72-50.
But Thompson, a former football and track standout at South Miami High and Division III Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio, didn't pout over what might have been.
"I would give away a championship any day to see a kid get a college education," he said. "I like to win, but there are more important things. If you do things right, it will pay off in the long run."
Perhaps that's what's happening this season.
Anyagaligbo, a 6-0 senior wing who signed with Boston University with the hopes of one day becoming a neurosurgeon, leads the team in scoring with 15 points per game.
Her sister, Ogechi, is a 6-0 sophomore post who is averaging 11 points. And the supporting cast includes three more sophomores — Jasmine Albert, Kenova Gay and Isis Julmiste — along with junior Briana Upshur and senior Angelica Hines, a transfer from Georgia.
It's a good group, but Lourdes and Miami High are the top 8A teams in the city, according to Thompson.
The Lightning has yet to play Miami High.
In a loss to Lourdes, Krop was without an injured Ogechi, and Nkiru played little because of foul trouble.
Ironically, Krop has a better record than Pace, which took in two of Thompson's top players.
Of those two transfers, Thompson was most hurt by the loss of Harrington, who had been with his program longer. In fact, Harrington had never played organized basketball before coming to Krop as a freshman.
Thompson built a special bond with the point guard, helping her develop into the player who recently signed to play for Southern Illinois University.

I had a lovely stay at Ritz! Staff was a bunch of hilarious people and all so helpful and nice. Place is located a bit far from the city centre but the area felt safe and still there was all that you needed in walking distance. Rooms were nice and neat as well as the other facilities there. Many thanks :)

There's only one problem with the place, which is the double bed in the private room is quite old and saggy. It was difficult for my partner (who has a chronic back problem) to sleep comfortably on the bed. On the other hand, the dorm bunks are fine. With all that out of the way, I must say that this place is a gem. The host family is super friendly and helpful. The dinner cooked and served at the hostel is worth every rand. It's in a safe and convenient location.

The hostel staff were helpful and pointed us in the right direction of shops etc. The room was nice and the facilities were good, although having stayed in other hostels in Johannesburg, it was average - but there was nothing wrong as such!

Who Won the Obama-Romney Foreign Policy Debate? >
Barack Obama Won the Debate by Playing to His Base
Barack Obama turned up the heat on Mitt Romney
October 23, 2012
President Barack Obama won the night because he turned up the heat on Mitt Romney and just kept punching until the final bell. Making for good theater, Obama played to the Democratic partisans who chose to watch a foreign policy face-off over Monday Night Football and National League Championship Series baseball.
Yet as hard as the president hit and as loud as his fans cheered, Romney not only remained standing, but he left the debate towering. Clearing the presidential bar, Romney was calm, cool, and collected. He talked about promoting peace by projecting strength. He showed that he was knowledgeable about terrorist hot spots around the globe, simmering tensions with other world powers, and the need for warm relations with America's allies.
In fact, it's because the two candidates are so similar on their preferred policies that Obama needed to swing as often as did. While working to create daylight and belittle his challenger, Obama was also trying to live up to an incumbent president's other title: "commander in chief."
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
At the end of the day, the debate was about leadership style, not foreign policy substance. And on this issue, the candidates are drawing even. Reviewing the evening's findings, CNN's Polling Director Keating Holland explained:
A majority of debate watchers [51-46] said that President Obama seemed to be the stronger leader…But on the question of likeability, the two candidates are essentially tied on a trait that has generally been an advantage for Obama. That's probably due to the fact that two-thirds of debate watchers felt that Obama spent more time than Mitt Romney on the attack.
The broader take-away from the debate is that it's unlikely to mean much a week from now. Aside from the fact that CNN's post-debate poll found that, "half of those questioned say that the debate did not affect how they would vote, with 25% saying they are more likely to vote for Romney and 24% saying they are more likely to cast a ballot for Obama," there is also the reality that the two candidates had different goals going into the night.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney.]
As Politico's Glenn Thrush and Jonathan Martin described:
Both campaigns are confident they can win. But their theory-of-the-case victory strategies couldn't be more different. A buoyant Team Romney sees itself driving into Obama territory on a tailwind of enthusiasm. Team Obama is relying on a three-state solution—winning Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nevada puts him over the top—and more 'Hit Mitt' messaging geared at driving Democrats to the polls, a hybrid of hope and the hammer.
Last night Obama played to his base. Romney played to the country. Both effectively executed their end-game strategies. There's still no telling who will win the final round on Election Day.
One thing, though: Theater won't be enough. Both sides need to bring out their horses and bayonets to capture and hold new territory on the campaign battleground.

The mission of the School of Business and Public Administration:
To serve our region by providing a professional business and public administration education that enables our graduates to serve effectively in the workplace and the community.
Program Description As a professional school, we are dedicated to educating students to become
more effective and efficient managers in the public and private sectors, operating in our complex and dynamic environment.
The primary skills emphasized in the school include effective written and oral communication, critical thinking, strategic
planning, problem identification, and problem analysis. Emphasis is also placed on an integrated perspective to decision
making in the context of the economic, social, political, and ethical forces that exist in the world today.
In recognition of the School's commitment to quality, our programs are
internationally accredited by AACSB - The International Association for International Management Education, the Certified
Financial Planning Board of Standards (CFP), and NASPPA - The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and
The demanding programs in the
School build upon the general education curriculum that prospective business and public administration students complete
in the freshman and sophomore years. The knowledge and skills acquired in these broadly based programs are enhanced as the
student enters the upper level professional programs within Business and Public Administration.
In pursuing its educational mission, the School's objective is to be
responsive to the needs and desires of its primary service area as well as the external market. The faculty of the School,
recognizing this need, has pursued applied research interests both within and outside the primary service region. These
research efforts have been critical to the growth and development of the School and have contributed significantly to the
attainment of educational goals of the institution. In recent decades the relevant geographical area of the school has
expanded far beyond local, regional or even national boundaries. Decisions made today consider the international
environment within which most organizations operate. Research and teaching efforts of the School are designed to reflect
ongoing changes in the economy and society.
In an
era of expansive information technology, the effective manager must be able to locate, retrieve, consolidate, and
integrate relevant information across key administrative disciplines. Management decisions must be made with consideration
of the impact of marketing, operations, finance, human resources and other critical areas on the organization as a whole.
Computer and communication technology facilitates the integration and evaluation of this data. Information technology must
be factored into all disciplines as an essential management tool, not merely a separate discipline.
The School recognizes that its student clientele require a holistic
understanding of management; able to easily relate one functional area to another and draw upon skills learned in a
variety of specialties for purposes of analysis and decision making. Consequently, both the undergraduate and graduate
curricula are constructed on a strong core that places an emphasis on the development of generic analytical and management
Excellence in education is a key tenet of
BPA Programs. The School is staffed with a faculty drawn from many of the top schools of business and public
administration in the United States and foreign nations. As the School grows in response to ever increasing numbers of new
students, the faculty has grown not only in physical numbers but in the necessary skills required to meet the new
technological and conceptual changes occurring in the private and public sectors. As an effective educational institution,
BPA seeks to be proactive to these changes rather than reactive.
The lead-time required to train future managers in new technologies can often be relatively short time
frames. This requires close contact with practicing managers in the public and private sectors as well as close and
continuous contact between the academician and the practitioner. The faculty of the School of Business and Public
Administration interfaces with practitioners in their research and consulting efforts. Combining this approach with
outstanding academic credentials yields a faculty truly capable of preparing the managers of the future as well as
enhancing today's managers, many of whom comprise the graduate student population in the School.
A particularly significant organization that provides invaluable services
and support to the School is the Executive Advisory Council. This is a group of over 30 senior executives from national,
regional and local businesses and governmental agencies. The Council advises the Dean of the School in matters concerning
the needs of the public and private sectors, in the evaluation of the graduates from the programs, in the trends that are
appearing in the various sectors and acts as a sounding board for new programs or changes to existing programs. The Public
Policy and Administration Advisory Board is a group of city, county, state and national government administrators, as well
as nonprofit and health care directors, who offer their expertise to the department on curriculum and the needs of the
current public administration sector. The Certified Financial Planning Advisory Board advises our finance and accounting
areas on trends and standards in the financial services field.
Structurally, the School of Business and Public Administration is organized into three major
departments: Finance and Accounting, Management and Marketing, and Public Policy and Administration. These three
departments represent the concentrations offered in the School.
Degree Programs Undergraduate: • Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with
concentrations in: Accounting Finance Management
Management Information Systems Sports Management Marketing
General Business • Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration
Graduate: • Master of Business Administration (MBA) •
Master of Public Administration (MPA) • Master of Science in Administration–Health Care
Management (MSA-HCM)
Both the undergraduate and the graduate business programs are accredited by
the AACSB – The International Association for Management Education. This is particularly significant in that only 375
institutions in the United States have both their undergraduate and master's programs accredited. The School is one of 50
business degree granting universities certified by the Certified Financial Planning Board of Standards to prepare students
to qualify for the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation. The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs
and Administration accredits the Public Policy and Administration masters program. The School of Business and Public
Administration is one of the smallest in the nation to have their programs accredited by AACSB and NASPAA, a confirmation
of the quality of the faculty and their dedication to excellence in education.
Organizations The School has active chapters of Beta Gamma Sigma, the top national academic honorary for business
majors, and Pi Alpha Alpha, the top national honorary for Public Affairs and Administration. The School also hosts
chapters of Sigma Iota Epsilon, national management honorary, Alpha Mu Alpha, national marketing honorary, and Alpha Kappa
Psi, national business fraternity. Students also participate in the activities of the University Accounting Association (UAA),
the Financial Management Association (FMA) and Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE).
Business Research And Education Center The School maintains the Business Research and Education Center to (1)
support faculty research opportunities and activities, (2) be actively involved in community-based outreach programs as a
resource to local and regional businesses and to economic development efforts, (3) provide a local and regional forum for
lifelong learning experiences, and (4) create and administer programs that promote student participation within the
university and the community, such as scholarships, internships, cooperative education, and community service projects.
Several of the programs within the Center include:
• Family Business Institute is a Public/Private Alliance among the School of Business &
Public Administration, Kern County family owned businesses, and service professionals that provide a
comprehensive program promoting the success of family owned businesses in Kern County. It is a specifically
designed resource that addresses the myriad of issues pertaining to family businesses. The goal of the Institute
is to develop a body of knowledge and problem solving techniques that are accessible to all members.
• Kern County Technology Transfer Group is a proactive,
dynamic Public/Private Alliance that brings together local, state, and federal government agencies, businesses,
universities and colleges, economic development organizations, and the media working together to facilitate the
commercialization of technology within the Kern County region. The activities of the Group are strategically
structured into a cohesive framework that provides the essentials for motivating members to independently
progress and compete technically in a technical world. The "commercialization of technology" is the mission of
the group. • Central California
International Trade Alliance Program is a Public/Private Coalition project that provides extensive consulting
through service professionals to businesses engaged in, or interested in pursuing the export of products or
services. CSUB interns, under the direction of service professionals and faculty, perform comprehensive research
to identify specific business opportunities and to address the myriad of regulations and procedural complexities
involved in exporting products and services for clients. The Program provides the interns practical hands-on
experience in dealing with Global Market transactions and issues.
• The Public Service Institute is a functional bridge
between California State University, Bakersfield and the public service community of Kern County and the
University's service area. As such, the Institute brings together in a working coalition, management personnel
from the public, nonprofit, volunteer, and health sectors with appropriate faculty and administrators from the
CSUB community.
American Institutions Requirement The School of Business and Public Administration offers an
interdisciplinary course in conjunction with the Political Science Department, INST 275 Administrative Processes in
Government (see page 114) that satisfies the U.S. and state and local government American Institutions requirement.
Teaching Credential – Single Subject The CSUB degree in Business Administration has been certified by the
California Commission for Teacher Credentials (CCTC) a subject matter preparation program meeting the content requirements
for the State of California Single Subject Credential in Business Education. Students who complete an augmented Business
Administration program are not required to pass the Examination Waiver for Business Education. In addition, the student
must be admitted to and must complete the Single Subject Credential program. Because the waiver program differs in some
details from the basic program for the major, credential candidates must consult with the evaluator in the School of
Education to assure that their program of study meets CCTC requirements.

The IELC offers a language immersion program into American English. The no-credit program offers daily instruction in reading/vocabulary, writing/grammar, and listening/speaking.

Verity -
Verity's been behind the decks for 18 years. He has a mad passion and love for the Oldskool Techno, Breakbeat and Jungle sounds of the early 90′s and evolved into Drum & Bass as well as a wide variety of other electronic music genres. Collecting as many mixtapes as he could get his hands on, he eventually graduated to vinyl and DJ'ing in the mid 90′s. He's inspired by the original sounds of L.A. DJ's such as R.A.W., DJ Trance and Ron D Core. He's played a variety of shows and clubs but also spent quite a bit of time doing intimate outdoor renegade sessions with his close friends who shared the same passion and joy of just getting outdoors, and playing music, LOUD!
Meanstreak -
Meanstreak is a Los Angeles based child of the 80′s / B-Boy roots / Underground Technohead since 1992 / DJ since 1995 / Producer since 2000. He works within many genres including Oldschool Techno, Hardcore, Jungle, Dubstep, everything in-between and beyond…..
Dement -
Dement has been in and around the LA underground scene scince the early 90′s, representing crews such as Dr. Freeclouds, Audio Science. DJ Dement started spinning wax in the mid/late 90′s playing parties such as Technostate '96 and many more. Although his musical tastes are very wide ranged Dement prefers to mix the harder genres of electronic music, ie. Gabber, Hardcore and Industrial. After many years in the game the goal is still the same, move the dancefloor.

he year was 1987 and by that time I had considered myself a DJ because I was using a Realistic mixer from Radio Shack to mix a cassette deck, belt drive (non-pitch) phonograph and Synsonics drum machine together. I was creating cut and paste demonstrations of the music that I had collected, primarily Depeche Mode & New Order remixes. Then I met a cat who had two Technics 1200s and a Numark mixer at his house. He was well stocked in Miami Bass records and would let me practice while he and his friends played Nintendo.
Fast forward, while still collecting a variety of records from Music Market in Costa Mesa, in 1989 I started attending a spot in Laguna Beach named,"Club Post Nuclear," which introduced me to DJ Robin, an eclectic DJ with a wide variety of tastes. Robin would throw in sounds from Nine Inch Nails, Front 242, Psychic TV, Kraftwerk, Skinny Puppy while mixing in newer artists like Guru Josh, Meat Beat Manifesto and Prodigy. I started buying more "Techno" based music from labels such as Underground Resistance, XL Recordings and R&S from Noise, Noise, Noise in Costa Mesa.
Then it happened- the opening of Dr. Freecloud's Record Shoppe in Costa Mesa where all of my vinyl and electronic dreams came true. Since it's opening I have been a loyal customer and friend to the store which supplies me with a plethora of releases.
Throughout the years I have played at various parties and through my other musical endeavors (Fantastic Planet) have even had my 15 minutes of fame opening for Blink 182 and The Black Eyed Peas in 1998.
I love music for music's sake. There are benefits that come along with playing and networking but the experience should never be tarnished by an over active ego, it just gets in the way and you'll probably "train wreck" anyway.
Mungo's introduction to Electronic Music took place in the summer of 1989 during Double Hit Mickey's Electric Daisy Carnival. Captivated by this sound, he continued to attend hundreds of events during the next decade, including legendary parties such as No-Doz, Aphrodite's Temple, Paw-Paw Ranch, and many more.
He was introduced to the art of DJing towards the end of the 1990's and after a lot of practice, Mungo together with his mentors played at dozens of house parties in south Orange County and sometimes even played at the infamous Cowboy Boogie in Anaheim.
The clubby styles of the time just weren't cutting it for him anymore so he started playing the underground sounds that truly moved him- NRG, Hard/Acid Trance, Techno, Schranz, and Hardcore- Anything with a mean rhythm and an evil melody.
After a few years away from the underground, Mungo returned in 2012 and actively promoted himself at events, various social networks, and distributed countless mixed CDs.
He was soon invited to join the Dr. Freecloud's collective and teamed up with Arcid of Techno Belligerent to run an internet-based radio show shortly after. The Techno Belligerent Radio Show is broadcast every Wednesday at 4pm (pacific time). The driving force behind it is to showcase West Coast underground talent but has also seen international artists such as Frankie Bones make appearances as well.
With many notable events under his belt during 2012, Mungo is ready to rock the decks from deserts to warehouses and everywhere in between in 2013 and beyond!
RotPG – DJ Killmoney 10/25/2013
Ryan McCormack AKA DJ Killmoney (Kongregate Resident) has been rocking the decks since he was 16; although, then he played mostly electro funk, hip-hop and 80′s new wave records. He grew up in a profoundly musical householdin whittier.
He began playing local backyard parties, dirty warehouse, after-hours and clubs in the underground and electronic events of LA and Orange County, getting his first real break playing a residency at a club compound located in Newport Beach. He has since enjoyed immense success, blowing up dance floors across the LA basin. He has shared the decks with the likes of Steve Loria, Jason Blakemore, Mike Hiatus, Jason Splat and David Alvarado just to name a few.
Killmoney's musical style reflects his eclectic influences—from Minimal Techno to Dark Post Industrial Noise. He's not limited to Minimal Techno, instead combining Disco, Funk, Breaks, Acid and Progressive House to create a sound that is purely Killmoney!
