Maritimes hit by 'weather bomb'
.< 12:53:45 AM  >The Globe and Mail-CBC orchestra celebrates birthday in style These days we often hear the modern symphony orchestra referred to as an endangered species. We can triple that for the radio orchestra, once a staple of the North American classical-music establishment, and now whittled down on this continent to a lone survivor: the CBC Radio Orchestra in Vancouver. On Monday, the CBC Radio Orchestra celebrated its 65th anniversary (and conductor Mario Bernardi his 20th year as its director) with a live broadcast to 19 countries in Europe, performing four pieces commissioned by the CBC over the course of those 65 years. .< 12:47:30 AM >Arcand to be honoured by France...

[New York Times: Technology] 'The Beolab 5 does a similar job on its own. As its downward-facing deep bass driver, or woofer, emits several test tones, an onboard microphone at the bottom of the speaker picks them up. Then a servomotor moves the microphone several inches so that it protrudes from the bottom and can pick up reflections from the room, and the tones are emitted again. A signal-processing chip within the speaker analyzes the difference between the two tests and digital equalization circuitry, also on board, adjusts the sound.' .< 12:39:52 AM >Navigating Digital Home Networks Home PC's increasingly link TV sets, game consoles, music and photos.
