WWDC: Apple reveals more podcasting details
By Mathew Honan
Macworld	 Jun 5, 2005 5:00 pm PDT
Apple CEO Steve Jobs provided more details on how podcasting will work in iTunes 4.9 today, lauding the technology as "TiVo for radio." As he has previously mentioned, Jobs said that iTunes 4.9 will support podcasting directly, and demonstrated a version of the new software at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today in San Francisco.
"We see it as the hottest thing going in radio," said Jobs, who noted that there are now over 8,000 podcasts, many of which are produced by radio professionals.
Previous versions of iTunes have not had built-in Podcasting support. Instead, users have needed to rely on third-party applications, such as iPodderX, to subscribe to and download podcasts. The new version of iTunes simplifies this process, building support directly into the application. Podcasts appear a discrete Podcast directory in the iTunes Music Store.
Jobs demonstrated by launching the iTunes Music Store and clicking on a podcast link, which then displayed a directory of podcasts. Clicking on podcaster Adam Curry's name presented a hierarchical list of podcasts. Jobs then subscribed and listened to a short segment.
"We think it's going to basically take podcasting mainstream, to where anyone can do it," said Jobs, who also noted that Apple would get into the game with its own "New Music Tuesdays" podcast.

The ornithological museum of San Gimignano is housed in the 16th-century former church of San Francesco. It exhibits part of the extensive collection that the city received as a gift in the 1920s from the Marquise Marianna Panciatichi Ximenes of Aragon Paolucci.
The exhibition's scientific aspects were curated by the Department of Environmental Biology of the University of Siena. Around 370 specimens of both rare and endangered birds that are present both in Italy and in the rest of Europe are displayed. The first collection contained more than 1200 specimens that were sourced from the estate of Monte. Between 1800 and 1900, nets were set up to catch birds. Riccardo Magnelli was entrusted with embalming the animals, having also been the embalmer at the Museo della Specola in Florence.

Cold Warriors Trespassing on the Roof of the World
Taipei Times
The tale of the CIA's involvement in Tibet has all the ingredients of a great thriller, including a grimly ironic outcome for most of the participants. In the early afternoon of April 29, 1950, a band of Tibetan border guards on the lookout for bandits bagged what they thought was a big prize. They had apprehended a group of five foreign-looking men shooting dead three of them and were bringing home two live prisoners.
The patting on the back stopped, though, when the guards returned to their base and were handed an urgent letter sent from the highest authorities in Lhasa ordering the safe passage of a group of five foreigners who were distinguished guests of the Dalai Lama himself.
Unwittingly the guards had killed the first CIA officer to die in the field. His name was Douglas Mackiernan and he was anxiously awaited by the Tibetan government for his anticipated help in organizing resistance against the impending Communist Chinese invasion.
The only things the guards could send to Lhasa were the two live prisoners and the heads of Mackiernan and the two other men they'd shot. They had severed the heads and stuffed them in saddle bags as prizes leaving the corpses to Tibet's vultures. How Mackiernan came to meet this grisly fate is the subject of a fascinating new book by Nepal-based reporter and photographer Thomas Laird on the CIA's involvement at the onset of the Cold War in China's far northwest titled Into Tibet: The CIA's First Atomic Spy and His Secret Expedition to Lhasa.
The CIA's covert activity in Xinjiang and Tibet has remained one of the most protected of the agency's secrets and Laird has done a remarkable job of finding the survivors from that period and coaxing them into revealing as much as they are able or willing to recall. The result is a stunning tale of how the US and its allies in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet waged a quixotic last stand against the overwhelming tide of Mao's communist revolution.
Mackiernan was the CIA's man in Urumchi with a cover as vice-consul. Instead of the paper-pushing duties that his title would suggest, he was actually deeply involved in organizing a Kazak insurrection against the Russians, who had set up a puppet state called the East Turkestan Republic in the Altai Mountains, where the Russians were furiously trying to mine enough uranium to build the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb and crush the US atomic monopoly.
Throughout their cooperation, the CIA kept the Kazaks in the dark about the purpose of the mines, while bolstering Kazak hopes for US support in establishing an independent republic. Of course, the US was not about to get bogged down in a full-scale war in defense of the Kazaks. As soon as Russia detonated its first atomic bomb at about the same time the Chinese communist armies came sweeping into Xinjiang at the end of 1949, the US high-tailed it out of the area and Kazaks were murdered by the thousands for their resistance.
This pattern of half-hearted support and eventual abandonment leading to catastrophe for the indigenous people was soon to repeat itself in Tibet, Southeast Asia and other places where the CIA got its hands dirty.
Laird argues that Mackiernan was not a blind supporter of his agency's methods and insinuates that he may have contemplated suicide over the disastrous abandonment of the Kazaks. But he was nevertheless a faithful Cold Warrior and carried out crucial work by setting up high-sensitivity underground microphones near the border -- and possibly even inside the Soviet Union -- that pinpointed the location and size of the communist's first atomic blast in August, 1949.
As evidence of that explosion was being analyzed in the US, communist forces were closing fast on Xinjiang forcing Mackiernan to shut the US consulate in Urumchi and flee south across the Taklamakan Desert. The rest of the staff had fled earlier across the same desert into India. His orders, however, were to move into Tibet. Before leaving he was joined by a Fulbright scholar on the run from Inner Mongolia named Frank Bessac, who may have been a contract CIA agent, though the man denies this even today.
That winter, while Mackiernan's party waited on the edge of Tibet for mountain passes to clear, Washington was paralyzed by the McCarthy inquisition, leading possibly to the fateful delay in notifying Tibetan authorities of the group's arrival. Laird suggests that bureaucrats sitting on their hands back in Washington are largely to blame for Mackiernan's death. If this were the case, the government is not about to make an admission of guilt. Even today, the CIA won't acknowledge the identity of its first agent killed in action.
Because the CIA is so tight-lipped about Mackiernan's identity and activity -- presumably to avoid ruffling China's feathers -- Into Tibet leads one to assume that we are only getting a small part of what is certainly a gripping story. Even Bessac, who eventually made it to Lhasa, met the Dalai Lama and encouraged the Tibetan government to formally appeal for covert aid from the US is adamant he wasn't working as a spy.
Despite the many unanswered questions, what is made clear in Into Tibet is that the CIA carried out daring and valuable work in northwest China and that the agency was present and active in organizing Tibetan opposition to the communist Chinese invasion. What remains a tragic unconfirmed possibility is that the CIA may have inadvertently hastened the invasion by sending Mackiernan to Tibet after the communists had already pegged him as a spy.
Laird does an impressive job uncovering the details of Mackiernan and Bessac's activities to bring out a story reminiscent of Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game, albeit much more modest in scope and scale. Into Tibet has all the makings of a spy page-turner: idealistic and dashing secret agents (apparently Mackiernan was popular with the women), oppressed people and uncaring governments. Except this story is not fiction and the ending is grossly ironic for everyone involved, especially for Mackiernan.
The author's light-weight polemics in support of Mongolian, Kazak and Tibetan independence would have been best left to an expert in a separate section of the book instead of interspersed through the narrative. At least a dozen punctuation and spelling errors in this book also detract from its rich content.

Specialized Program Accreditations Certificates and Licensures by Campus
Students should be aware that there are multiple types of accreditation and that their intended entry into their chosen profession could be impacted by these differences. For example, institutional accreditation means all students attending Herzing University are attending an accredited institution.
In addition, there are programmatic accreditation bodies which accredit specific programs (as opposed to the institution). Some states require that specific programs, even at regionally accredited institutions like Herzing University, be programmatically accredited as well. The importance of programmatic accreditation can range from a requirement to sit for licensure exams that are mandatory to work in a field to a requirement to sit for a certification exam that is not required for all employment in the field (but may be slightly to strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market) to a symbol of quality with no impact on any certification or licensure (but which may be slightly or strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market). Therefore, Herzing University has not pursued all forms of programmatic accreditation available, as this is a determination on whether the costs and requirements to do so are worth the value to the student in the respective marketplaces in the estimation of the University. The student should validate whether the specialized accreditation of a specific program, or lack thereof, is going to fit their career goals for their respective marketplace.
As a result, there is a potential that some states will not permit a student who has completed certain academic programs to become certified, licensed, or sit for a certifying or licensing examination if they graduated from a program that is not programmatically accredited. Herzing University believes in complete and forthright disclosure for each program we offer, so we clearly identify those programs that are programmatically accredited. If a Herzing University program at a specific campus (or one that is offered online) does not state it has programmatic accreditation in writing, students should assume the program does not have programmatic accreditation. Students are responsible for understanding the specific requirements for certification, licensing, and for eligibility to sit for a particular licensing examination of the state or locale in which they want to enter or practice their profession. Herzing University makes no representation, unless explicitly written, that students graduating in a particular program qualify for certification, licensing, or eligibility to sit for a licensing examination in a particular state. For further clarification, students should review the specialized program accreditation/approvals stated in the catalog and read and sign the Accreditation Disclosure for their respective campus. Students may seek confirmation of programmatic accreditation by consulting the website of the accrediting body.
Herzing University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, 230 South LaSalle Street, Suite 7-500, Chicago, Illinois, 60614-1413, www.hlcommission.org, (800) 621-7400 .
Herzing University has received specialized accreditation for its business programs through the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) located at 11374 Strang Line Road in Lenexa, Kansas, USA. The business programs in the following degrees are accredited by the IACBE:
Master of Business Administration in Accounting and Finance
Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Management
Master of Business Administration in Human Resources
Master of Business Administration in Project Management
Master of Business Administration in Technology Management
Bachelor of Science in Accounting
Bachelor of Science in Business Management
Bachelor of Science in Business Management With Concentrations in:
Associate of Science/Applied Science in Accounting
Associate of Science/Applied Science in Business Management
Any business program that is not listed above is not currently accredited through the IACBE. The International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) can be contacted at 11374 Strang Line Road, Lenexa, Kansas, 66215, 1-913-631-3009 , www.iacbe.org).
Specialized Program Accreditations, Certificates, and Licensures by Campus
Herzing University also holds programmatic accreditations or approvals for selected programs at selected locations. Not all programs require specialized programmatic accreditation, and some new programs must be in operation for a period of time before specialized accreditation can be obtained. Specialized programmatic accreditation may be required for graduates to be eligible to take some licensure or certification examinations. Unless this catalog specifically and unequivocally states that a particular program at a particular campus (including Herzing Online) is programmatically accredited and qualifies a student for licensing, certification, or to be eligible to sit for a licensing examination, students should conclude the program offered on the campus they are enrolled at is not programmatically accredited. Students should independently investigate the specific licensing requirements for their program in the specific state or locale for which they anticipate seeking employment.

January 2018 Undergraduate Catalog Addendum


When I first wrote about the EMI box of complete recordings by the cellist Pablo Casals, it was partly in recognition that the first two discs in the box documented the first time that the solo cello suites of Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1007–1012) had been recorded in their entirety. Thus, even though the recordings were made in a studio, they provided an excellent "listening context" for the performances of Mstislav Rostropovich recorded in Vézelay Abbey and included in his Complete EMI Recordings box. However, if those recordings created the first opportunity for a "global audience" for those suites in the late thirties, a decade earlier EMI provided what was probably the first opportunity for the entire genre of chamber music. Between 1926 and 1928, Casals joined with pianist Alfred Cortot and violinist Jacques Thibaud to prepare studio recordings of five piano trios by (in chronological order) Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, and Robert Schumann. While it is unclear whether or not Bach ever intended any of his suites to be performed before an audience, it is almost certain that all of these trios where never intended to be performed beyond the intimate setting of a drawing room (what I have called "The Spirit of the Schubertiad") among intimate acquaintances (of the host if not of any of the performers). Thus, for most listeners the chamber music genre was far less familiar than that of the symphony orchestra concert, opera, or even vocal recital.
Most likely this was at least partially a matter of technology. The amplitude of a symphony orchestra or opera company is far greater than that of a piano trio, and the first technologies for registering the vibrations of sounds were extremely limited. As to the solo voice, it is true that Enrico Caruso made his first recordings in 1902; but he had a voice that could register itself in the most remote regions of the uppermost balcony in any opera house. Any technology that could hear Thomas Edison recite "Mary had a Little Lamb" would respond to Caruso's voice!
I am not familiar enough with the history of recording technologies to assess the quality of equipment in Kingsway Hall in London in 1926, but I do know that Casals first started playing trios with Cortot and Thibaud in 1905 and that they continued as a trio until 1934. Thus, for those (like the members of the Beaux Arts Trio) who have expressed skepticism over "star soloists" coming together to play a chamber music recital and then going off on their separate touring ways, I find it reasonable to grant that, while all three of them had distinguished solo careers, when Casals, Cortot, and Thibaud came together, they played as a "real" piano trio. From this point of view, I cannot imagine anyone better to serve as "ambassadors" for the chamber music genre for a worldwide audience, most of whom may never have heard a piano trio.
One way of appreciating their impact is that just about any community of music lovers today would regard all five of these trios as warhorses. It is easy to imagine that, through these recordings, music students around the world were first exposed to the sound of the "Archduke" trio and developed a craving to make that sound themselves. Today we have audiences as familiar with the "Archduke" as they are with Beethoven's fifth symphony.
It is thus hard to overestimate the importance of these historical recordings; and I would go so far as to say that, even today, they can provide a powerful "listening context," not only for those still unfamiliar with the chamber music genre but also for those familiar with current and recent piano trio ensembles. Furthermore, EMI now has two opportunities to experience this "listening context." In addition to the aforementioned Casals box, there is also a set of 3 CDs (illustrated above) devoted strictly to Casals, Cortot, and Thibaud (which, for good measure, also includes the 1929 recording of Johannes Brahms' A minor double concerto, Opus 102, with Thibaud and Casals as soloists and Cortot conducting the Orquestra Pau Casals). Even those with budget limitations are in a good position to appreciate what may well be the dawn of public consciousness of chamber music.

Remaining Sane
January 3, 2023 by Tim Rupp
"How does someone stay in policing for so many years and remain sane?" To have a successful and long police career there are somethings law enforcement officers should know. Former LAPD Sergeant Joseph Wambaugh has written several police novels. In one of them was a quote that stayed with me throughout my policing career. One of his characters said, "A police officer needs three things to survive: courage, common sense, and a sense of humor. Most people can survive without one of these, but a police officer never could." Wambaugh's wisdom is profound—courage, common sense, and a sense of humor. Last time, I addressed courage. Now, let's look at common sense.
Officers filled the back rows of the roll-call room talking and joking, some sat quietly waiting. Sergeant Charlie Ross emerged from the office, clipboard in hand, revolver swinging from his hip, and with a limp that would make a John Wayne fan smile. He stepped onto the platform in front of the 100-plus officers. On his left sleeve were stars and hashmarks that marked nearly four decades of policing. He had been on the job long before most of the officers who sat before him were alive. He dropped the clipboard onto the lectern, pushed his glasses in place, and brushed back strains of white hair that refused to stay put. Without looking up, he barked out, "Roll Call!" The room became silent. His eyes focused on the clipboard, "Borg" "Here, sir." "1-1," he checked off the name. "White." "Here, sir." "1-2," another check. "Gonzalez." "Here, sir." "1-3," check. After the roll was taken and the assignments given, the old sergeant picked up the clipboard and headed back towards the office. He overheard two young officers exchanging war stories from the night before, the veteran sergeant couldn't restrain himself, "You're a boot until you have ten years on the streets. The streets will educate you. Or kill you. Be quiet and learn." Wise counsel from the old sergeant—common sense.
Psychology Today defines common sense as "sound judgment derived from experience rather than study."[1] This echoes the old proverb, "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm" (Proverbs 13:20). But the fact is, common sense isn't so common, if it was, police officers would be a lot less busy. It's the lack of sense among the general population that keeps officers busy. The headlines speak for themselves:
Burglar breaks into building, calls 911 when he can't get out.
Florida Man Calls Police to Test Illegal Drugs.
Man tries to steal police car, with officer in it.
Shoplifting suspect fatally stabs himself on stolen knife.
NC suspect accidently shoots himself while robbing store.
Montana man calls police to report he was ripped off in meth deal.
Minnesota robbery suspect locked keys in getaway car.
Not all criminals are as stupid as these, but most aren't far behind. Most situations, problems, and crimes are solved by common sense that comes from an officer's training, street education, and life experiences. Common sense is learned, it's developed over time. Again, I defer to Solomon, "Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment" (Prov. 4:7, NLT).
Officers short on common sense have short careers, unless, of course, they slip through the cracks and get promoted. That brings us to the third thing Wambaugh said officers can't do without—a sense of humor. We'll discuss that next month.
The Strong Blue Line on the Road
Last month I went to San Antonio (TX) where I spoke at Christian United Church, Anchor Baptist Church, and attended the Billy Graham Evangelical Association (BGEA) Law Enforcement Chaplain Training. Former SAPD officer Jim Barnette started Christian United Church a couple years ago. Jim is also a chaplain for the SAPD. Jim wanted to do something to address the recent rash of suicides on the SAPD and invited me to speak on the subject. The copies of "Suicide is Not an Option" that are donated through The Strong Blue Line Ministries will be shipped to Jim for distribution to the other chaplains on the SAPD to be used in their ministry. Anchor Baptist Church is a supporting church, and I was honored to give a report and reconnect with folks there. The BGEA Law Enforcement Chaplain Training was taught by three retired police officers who are now chaplains serving with BGEA. The chaplains brought a boatload of experience to the class that was attended by chaplains from across Texas, one from South Dakota and a couple from Mississippi.
"No More Delay, a Pastor's Commentary on Revelation"
Urgency is in the air. The end seems to loom on the horizon. When will the end come? When will God make all things right? The Apostle John is told there would be "no more delay" (Rev. 10:6). God will bring human history to a close—soon! For God's people the end will be bitter-sweet. Sweet, because we know God is closing history as he promised. Bitter, because with the end will be further persecution of God's people by the Antichrist and his followers. However, this severe persecution would be limited to three and a half years. "No More Delay" the companion commentary to "The Time of the End" is now available on Amazon.
Pray for your police.

Bottle banks are found in many supermarket car parks and local authority areas and usually have separate compartments for clear, green and brown glass. Blue glass can be put into the green bank and clear glass with coloured coatings can be put into the clear bank as the coating will burn off. The labels on bottles and jars will be removed during the recycling process, however remove as many plastic or metal rings and tops as possible. Only recycle bottles and jars – never light bulbs, window or sheet glass or Pyrex type dishes as these are made from a different type of glass.
Almost a quarter of all household waste and a half of all commercial waste in Ireland is paper. Newspapers, magazines, junkmail cardboard packaging can all be recycled either through kerbside collection or through local bring centres. Packaging such as milk and juice cartons cannot be recycled as paper as they have a plastic lining which would contaminate the process.
Many local authorities have mixed can banks accepting both aluminium and steel cans, although some have aluminium-only banks as uncontaminated aluminium has a higher value. Try to crush drinks cans before recycling, either with a can crusher or by squashing them underfoot. .
All charity shops accept unwanted clothing, which is then sold in charity shops, given to the homeless or sent abroad. Even damaged or un-wearable clothing can be converted into items such as wiping cloths, shredded for use as filling for items such as furniture or car insulation or rewoven into new yarn or fabric. If you deposit shoes, tie them together as they tend to go astray! Some local authorities provide separate textile collection at some of their bring centres.
Plastic is a difficult material to recycle as there are many different types of plastic (often indicated by a number, or letters such as PET or PVC). The variation in plastic types means that different reprocessing techniques are required. The different types of plastic therefore need to be collected separately or sorted after collection, as reprocessors will specify which type of plastic they will accept. Plastic in household waste is often food packaging and therefore too contaminated to be recycled effectively.
Organic household waste is food and garden waste. Organic waste is a problem if sent to landfill, because it is impossible to separate out from other waste once mingled, and will rot producing methane, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. The best way to dispose of organic waste is to compost it either through a centralised composting scheme or at home.
At the present time there are very few facilities for recycling household electrical or electronic waste although this is set to change with the introduction of the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Some local authorities have Recycling Centres that take large white goods and mobile phone recycling is now common around the country.
Batteries are varied and complex, come in different shapes and types and are consequently very difficult to sort and recycle. Rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries do still contain hazardous metals and should be returned to the manufacturer where possible. A few local authorities provide facilities for recycling these, as well as lead acid car batteries, which may also be returned to garages. If you use rechargeable batteries look out for the new versions containing no mercury or cadmium.
Some household items are actually very harmful to the environment if thrown into the grey bin for landfilling. Keep household paint, make-up, nail varnish, medicines, oil, bulbs etc in a safe place and bring to the regular / periodic "Hazardous Household Waste Collection" organised by your local authority.
