Search Police Files Man force enters boat on Lido Isle to consume alcohol, says NBPD Tuesday, March 19, at 10:17 p.m., Newport Beach Police responded to a call on Lido Isle concerning a male suspect trespassing on a private boat. Upon arrival, officers met with the reporting party who expressed a desire to prosecute and signed a private persons arrest for trespassing. NEWPORT Further investigation revealed that the subject, Jerret Mlagenovich, 34, of Santa Ana, had BEACH forced entry onto a secure boat in order to steal and consume alcoholic beverages, according to NBPD PIO Heather Rangel.

Wind: 5.61 m/h Someone takes $44,000 necklace…no leads 51.6°F Newport Beach Police received a report that sometime between March 2 and March 16, someone entered an apartment in the 22700 block of Pelican Hill Road S and stole a necklace valued at $44,366. MON TUE WED The victim stated that multiple people had access to the property during the two-week period. They filed a citizen’s complaint of grand theft. There were no eyewitnesses and no apparent leads. 51/51°F 51/61°F 56/60°F Scroll down to Police Beat for all arrests & crime report Fair Game By TOM JOHNSON The grunion are running, the grunion are running! The grunion are running this weekend. They come ashore in the surf for “three to four consecutive nights, beginning on the nights of the full moons and new moons,” according to California Beaches. “Spawning occurs after high tides and continues for several hours. Peak spawning is from late March to early June.” Okay, so here’s what I know, you take a bucket and, of course, a fishing license if you’re 16 or older, and you catch the little suckers with your bare hands. Then what, you ask? You cook and eat them. Online you can find recipes to make “grunion” tacos or grilled grunion. Who knew? I think I’m more of a spectator. Happy fishing. Best times are tonight from 11:20 p.m. to 1:20 a.m.; tomorrow (Saturday), midnight to 2 a.m.; and Sunday, 12:40 to 2:40 a.m. • • • CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is hosting its bi-annual “Drill the Skills” event tomorrow, March 23, from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Newport Beach Fire Station on Acacia. It’s open to all CERT volunteers who have the opportunity to practice their skills or just volunteer to help. Then, next Thursday, March 28, at 6 p.m., CERT presents their Earthquake and Tsunami Awareness Workshop in the Civic Center Community Room. The event is held in conjunction with Tsunami Awareness Week. It’s open to all Orange County residents and features guest presenters from the state. You don’t have to register to attend. I asked our Fire Chief Chip Duncan about what the program means to the community: “CERT is important to develop in our community, because it enables our neighborhoods to stand alone during a disaster. Our residents need to be able to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours after a major disaster. Neighborhoods should be able to manage minor incidents so fire and PD can respond to larger incidents. This boils down to neighbors helping neighbors. Essentially our CERT team members are our force multipliers.” The Chief reminded me that under Matt Brisbois’ leadership, our CERT program “is second to none.” CERT has more coming in May. You can check it all out here. • • • When we talk about local news, what’s more local to Newport Beach than USC? If you don’t believe me, drive the streets of Balboa Island during football season and check out all of the banners hanging to support the Trojans. That being said, Carol Folt, the former chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has become the 12th president in the school’s history and the first woman. She begins July 1. USC, of course, has had a couple of tough years with the school dean drug issue, the misconduct of the school’s longtime gynecologist and, most recently, the ongoing school admissions scandal. Add to that that their football team has stunk it up recently and she has a lot of work ahead of her. • • • Segerstrom Center for the Arts has dropped its appeal fighting the approval of the proposed new Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa. OCMA is in the midst of moving from their Newport Beach facility and now in temporary South Coast Plaza Village digs, to their eventual final home. Back in January, Segerstrom Center President Terrence Dwyer appealed the Costa Mesa Planning Commission’s approval of the plan for a nearly 54,000-square- foot museum. He resigned a month later. A coincidence? I think not. Dwyer was definitely swimming upstream against that decision. His statement upon exiting was that it was “the right time to leave professionally.” OCMA is scheduled to open sometime in 2021.

The Beatles revolution- ized the recording process using technology to achieve completely unprecedented sounds and arrangements. Until then, popular music recordings were simply faithful reproductions of a live performance. Over the past fifty years, recording and production techniques have advanced so far that another challenge has arisen: it is now very difficult for performing artists to give a live performance that has the same impact, complexity and nuance as a produced studio recording.

  • Doing Sound Slaten Dissertation Deposit
    Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Whitney Slaten All rights reserved ABSTRACT Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers Whitney Slaten This dissertation ethnographically represents the work of three live sound engineers and the profession of live sound reinforcement engineering in the New York City metropolitan area. In addition to amplifying music to intelligible sound levels, these engineers also amplify music in ways that engage the sonic norms associated with the pertinent musical genres of jazz, rock and music theater. These sonic norms often overdetermine audience members' expectations for sound quality at concerts. In particular, these engineers also work to sonically and visually mask themselves and their equipment. Engineers use the term “transparency” to describe this mode of labor and the relative success of sound reproduction technologies. As a concept within the realm of sound reproduction technologies, transparency describes methods of reproducing sounds without coloring or obscuring the original quality. Transparency closely relates to “fidelity,” a concept that became prominent throughout the late nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries to describe the success of sound reproduction equipment in making the quality of reproduced sound faithful to its original. The ethnography opens by framing the creative labor of live sound engineering through a process of “fidelity.” I argue that fidelity dynamically oscillates as struggle and satisfaction in live sound engineers’ theory of labor and resonates with their phenomenological encounters with sounds and social positions as laborers at concerts.
