„The noise-reduction method he pioneered in the mid-1960s is used today to record the sounds of nearly every movie, professional music performance, and radio and television broadcast in the world. Technology made by Dolby Labs, headquartered in San Francisco since 1976, has been built into more than 1.4 billion consumer electronic products sold -- including everything from car stereos and cassette decks to DVD players and high-definition TVs.“

„San Francisco in the early and middle 1950s was alive with jazz of all kinds, from the traditional revival bands of Turk Murphy and Bob Scobey to Dave Brubeck's adventurism and Cal Tjader's melding of jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Among less well known musicians, Ron Crotty was a veteran of the Brubeck trio and Vince Guaraldi, Jerry Dodgion, Sonny Clark, and Eddie Duran were on the verge of greater fame and accomplishment. Expanding Fantasy's celebrated album Modern Music from San Francisco, this collection adds a 1953 session recorded by alto saxophonist Charlie Mariano when he was appearing at the city's legendary Black Hawk club.“http://www.fantasyjazz.com/catalog/ fantasy_various_cat.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„In my mind, the histories of the PRC-25 and PRC-77 are synonymous, and should never be separated. In The Beginning,- Our story starts not with the development of the PRC-25, but ten years earlier(yes, only ten years) with the introduction of the SCR-300(BC-1000). The very first VHF FM, front line tactical transceiver ever devised capable of operation while being carried by it's operator. Though it's VHF/FM mode would be received with great scepticism by the world, even in it's country of origin, it would instantly prove it's value under fire.“http://www.fernblatt.net/prc25legend.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„The variables consist of consequences (i.e., the purpose, intent, function, motivation, or goal of the behavior, with all these terms being roughly synonymous); antecedents, or discriminative stimuli (i.e., the cues that trigger the behavior); and setting events (i.e., the broad context that influences the likelihood that a specific cue will trigger problem behavior). To illustrate, consider a young girl with autism who sometimes bangs her head when her favorite toy is out of reach. Her mother responds to the self-injurious behavior by providing her with the toy.“http://www.nau.edu/ihd/positive/library/ horner4.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„Japan pioneered the high-speed rail program in the early 1960s, and France and then Germany led the way in Europe. The development of lightweight rolling stock has contributed to achieving scheduled speeds up to 186 mph, but the biggest improvements have been the construction of dedicated tracks with high radius curves.“http://www.redlandsfortnightly.org/ fawcett01.htm - Cached - Similar Pages
