Lansing receives modern language award
Professor of Italian studies and comparative literature focuses on DanteRichard Lansing, professor of Italian studies and comparative literature, alongside Professor Teodolinda Barolini of Columbia University, received the Modern Language Association's Scaglione Publication Award for their manuscript entitled, "Dante's Lyrics: Poems of Youth and the Vita Nuova."
MLA style has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors for more than half a century. The association's guidelines are also used by more than 1,100 scholarly and literary journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses.
The Modern Language Association of America and its 30,000 members in 100 countries work to strengthen the study and teaching of languages and literature. Founded in 1883, the MLA provides opportunities for its members to share their scholarly findings and teaching experiences with colleagues and to discuss trends in the academy. The MLA sustains one of the finest publication programs in the humanities, producing a variety of publications for language and literature professionals and for the general public
"Dante has been my focal interest since the beginning," says Lansing. "He is quite simply the most profound and gifted writer of Italian literature, and one who did more than any other writer to create the Italian language itself."
An MLA release on the award-winners noted, "Teodolinda Barolini's scholarship melds a theoretically and philologically rigorous critical apparatus and analysis with the superb translations of Dante's poems by Richard Lansing…Lansing's new translations will prove to be an invaluable resource for an audience without access to Dante's original Italian…"
Barolini, the Lorenzo Da Ponte Professor of Italian at Columbia University, focuses her research on 13th- and 14th-century Italian literary culture and how it is viewed today.
Lansing says he and Barolini have worked together frequently over the past 20 to 30 years, and they were delighted when they learned they had won the Scaglione Award for best manuscript this year.
"Coincidentally, I studied with Professor Scaglione at U.C. Berkeley many years ago, so it's a pleasure to have merited an award with his name on it," says Lansing.
Lansing, who will end his Brandeis career this year, is editor of "The Dante Encyclopedia," editor in chief of Dante Studies, associate editor of "Medieval Italy: An Encyclopedia," and author of "From Image to Idea: A Study of the Simile" in Dante's Commedia.

Martyn Thake
Many of you might have not heard of Martyn Thake, but we are pretty
sure you have enjoyed racetracks either designed or developed by one of racing's
behind the scene men. Martyn Thake is the principal behind Motorsports Consulting
Services a company dedicated and specialized in motorsports facility development
and operations management.
"The services we proudly offer provide a turnkey program of
facility design, development, construction, inspection and event planning and
management," explains Martyn Thake. "Our nearly 30 years experience in motorsports
management, includes building and operating facilities and events, and our
extensive experience is with many major racing series."
The reason why we wanted to interview Martyn is because he is
responsible for the direction of all Operations related tasks for the US Bank
Presents the 2004 Champ Car Grand Prix of Cleveland this coming weekend. We were
curious about how he manages to turn an airport into a racetrack within a
four-hour timetable; not an easy challenge to say the least.
Making crucial decisionss
We walked in a room when Martyn began briefing his crew by
describing the track with the support of a procedural map: "Flat and wide open
this airfield circuit features 10 corners, all but two of which are 90 degrees
bends, zero bank, camber, or elevation anywhere on the track. The track is very
wide and affords many overtaking opportunities, as there is usually more than one
line into, around and out of each turn, and the run-off areas are of course huge.
The unique layout on the airport circuit at the Grand Prix allows fans to see
virtually the entire race course. Drivers have to find their thrills by trying to
spot the apex on each corner - and that's not an easy task as the course is so flat
that the turns have to be marked by cones. This is one course where overtaking
seems to be guaranteed and produces one of the most exciting races on the Champ
Car schedule."
Q. Martyn, you make it look easy, but I bet it's not, am I correct?
A. You are absolutely correct; I've been working full time on this race since
March 15th and will finish on or about July 15th. I am in charge of over 300
people and over 90,000 man-hours. Sixty-five percent of the track work will be
completed prior to temporary acquisition of Burke Lakefront Airport on the
Thursday morning of race weekend. At that time, we will prepare the other 35% from
6 am to 10 am."
Q. Someone would think setting up Cleveland's track would be easy with just
little challenges, but not in your view?
A. "The challenge of building a world class temporary racetrack is magnified by
the logistics of an airport that has to operate at full capacity right up to 4
hours before cars go on track, and return to being an airport within 3 hours of
the checkered flag. The coordination required takes an awful lot of planning. In
fact, we spend more time planning the construction process than actually building
the facility."
Q. Yes, the planes… I forgot all about them!
A. "Working around two operating FBO's (fixed base operations) and an airport that
have close to a hundred aircraft movements a day is also challenging. Adding
helicopter movements into the mix also needs to be addressed. We are very lucky to
have a facility (the airport) and city that is fully behind the project that we
consider our partners. The team we have assembled has hundreds of years of
combined experience and we need all of that to make this project come together.
Remember, we do not have the option of starting late, cars will be on track on
schedule… late is not an option!"
Some ready to go tires
I would later find out that Martyn Thake has a very specific,
military-like plan and uses the following equipment during that four-hour period
prior to the first race car taking the track: Six heavy-duty forklifts to put over
two hundred concrete wall blocks in place, eight tractor-trailer trucks to place
signage towers, two tractor-trailers to place the timing and scoring tower, a
couple of two-ton cranes to lift the timing and scoring structure into place,
approximately 200 workers put over 5000 tires in place, ten workers place 1.5
miles of debris fence, twelve signage workers place over two hundred signs
throughout the track and additionally, the signage crew also places over 250
sandbags to secure signs throughout the track. Wow, I'm tired already!
Q. Well, where do the planes go during the weekend?
A. "Once the airport closes all flights cease. Planes continue to land right up
until 6 a.m. Thursday and flights will commence immediately upon the airport reopening
Saturday night. Aircraft get moved to other airports in the area at owners expense
and their fees are adjusted accordingly. Most go to the 5 surrounding airports;
approximately 70 of the 78 based aircraft are relocated and aircraft that do not
get moved are those that are in maintenance or are not moved by the deadline set
by Airport Operations. Air traffic is limited to helicopters only and these may
include News, Life Flight, Military, Traffic Survey, or Law Enforcement."
Q. What is the big X I see here on the map?
A. Once the airport is closed we paint a big X on the grass that indicates to the
planes that the airport is closed and is not a landing option."
Q. I'm fascinated by the numbers; can you give us an idea of your
event-shopping list?
A. "Let me get my notes, I knew you would ask! 'Timing and Scoring' will have over
30,000 ft of Cat 5 Cable - 6 miles. There will be another 15,000 ft of Power
Distribution - 3 miles. There will be 6 miles of phone cable and we will install
and then remove 280 'Tire Crash Barriers' each consisting of 64 tires for a total
of 17,920 tires. We will also install and then remove over 4,500 tons of concrete
blocks that are 12' long weighing 10,250 lbs each for a total number of 867
concrete blocks."
While planes will continue to land and take off – we assume many - up until 6:00
AM, here is the event schedule you will not find in your Grand Prix program:
- Thursday July 1, 2004
6:00 AM - Begin to place signage towers
• Begin to place block
• Begin to place Timing and Scoring
7:00 AM - Continue to place signage towers
• Continue to place block

• Begin installation of fence
• Begin signage installation on towers
• Begin tire placement
9:00 AM - Complete block placement

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
A screenshot of a local Pittsburgh news broadcast showing three of four suspects arrested on charges of domestic terrorism. [Source: FireDogLake (.com)]The FBI arrests four Pittsburgh-area people on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks. Marvin Hall of Rimersburg, Perry Landis of the Clarion area, Morgan Jones of Lucinda, and Melissa Huet, presumably of Pittsburgh, are arrested after authorities learned they were stockpiling a cache of weapons with plans to target local government buildings. Two more suspects will be arrested days later, including Bradley T. Kahle (see June 8, 2008). Many of the six have ties to the right-wing militia movement; Landis is sergeant-at-arms of the Brookville Tiger Militia in Jefferson County. In a raid, the FBI confiscates hundreds of weapons, including hunting rifles, a Romanian assault rifle, 16 homemade bombs, homemade rockets, a homemade flame thrower, blasting caps, and cannons. The four made threats to blow up government buildings and carry out other acts of domestic terrorism. They face numerous federal firearms charges as well as charges of illegal sales, manufacture, and transport of weapons. The raid is the culmination of three years of investigations, including the insertion of undercover agents inside the operation. Federal agents have raided other area compounds over the last two days in the Clarion area; one of these raids led to Kahle's arrest. Landis has told undercover agents that he intended to assassinate Governor Ed Rendell (D-PA). David Neiwert, a progressive reporter and blogger who is an expert on right-wing terrorism, later writes of the dearth of mainstream media coverage: "Imagine, if you will, how this would have been handled were these folks of Arab extraction or believers in radical Islamist ideology instead of your garden-variety far-right American ideology. CNN would have the cameras and reporters there, NBC would host an hour discussing the threat, and [conservative bloggers] Michelle Malkin and Little Green Footballs' Chuck Johnson would [be] bouncing around the walls of their rubber rooms even more frenetically than usual amid shouts of 'Jihad!!!!'" [KDKA-TV, 6/9/2008; David Neiwert, 6/10/2008; Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 6/12/2008; Southern Poverty Law Center, 2011] Hall, Landis, Jones, and Huet will be convicted.

szack necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
We are a new company in advanced composites. Our products range from airplane seats & panels, boat parts, and auto-racing body kits. We deal specifically with carbon fiber material which is extremely strong as well as light.
We are targeting high end companies in aerospace, naval architecture, auto-racing, and for any other product (big or small) that might be interested in having products made of carbon fiber.
We aim for a high-tech design. As far as the lettering, it should be easily readable. It'd be great to have an identifiable logo where people can take a glance at the product, see the logo and recognize it as a mark of quality. We want our products to be the bench mark of excellence in our industry.
As far as color carbon fiber is mostly gray scale, and we'd like some carbon fiber weave incorporated into the design. Accent colors: maybe a blue or a burnt orange-red (we don't have any company colors chosen so feel free to experiment). Our website is http://www.fiberdyneaeromarine.com. "aeromarine" does not necessarily need to be incorporated. If you want to it should be in a smaller size than FiberDyne. "FiberDyne" can be in all caps if that's what goes with your design.

PJ D'Amico leaving Denver's RedLine art space
RedLine, the urban gallery and art lab in the Curtis Park neighborhood, announced Friday that Executive Director PJ D'Amico will leave at the end of 2013.
Deputy Director Louise Martorano will take over the top job.
D'Amico said Friday that he will become executive director of the Denver-based Buck Foundation, which funds social justice causes.
"I'm feeling really good about what I've done at RedLine and really excited about Louise," he said.
In a media release, RedLine's founder and funder, Laura Merage, offered a positive assessment of D'Amico's tenure.
"We are grateful to PJ for his infectious enthusiasm, his willingness to innovate, and his intense dedication to RedLine and the diverse communities it serves," she said via the release.
D'Amico has run RedLine for four years, a time that saw the non-profit move from a gallery and home to artist residencies to a catalyst for change in its evolving neighborhood. RedLine has been at the center of several deals that will result in the renovation of buildings in Curtis Park.
Martorano has been with RedLine for three years and is known for her curatorial talents and her skills working with artists and curators.

|TidBITS#61 19910513
Check out page 4 of the 07-May-91 issue of MacWEEK for the first time I've been quoted by a national magazine. Thanks to Henry Norr for including it.
Emery Berger corrects our TechnoBITS article on Iterated Systems's fractal compression board since we blew it and missed the final sentence of the original BYTE article. "I wouldn't be pedantic if this weren't an important point (OK, maybe I would :-)), but this [our claim that fractal compression is lossless] is incorrect. From the horse's mouth "Fractal transformation throws away some information, because it's a lossy method, but it tends to throw away noise, rather than data you need." (But it's still pretty damn neat!)"
Yet another correction from Joseph Pinner. "Latest TidBITS in MailBITS says that AccessPC does not work under System 7. According to the Update notes on the current release (1.1), this is NOT true - it does work under 7."
Mark H. Anbinder forwards this bit from the Seattle Times, 30-Apr-91. "A lucky Macintosh user had the Talking Moose program (Addison-Wesley Publishing Co.) working on his Macintosh when burglars broke into his home while he was away. Presumably thinking there was someone in the home, the burglars left the room with the Macintosh alone." [A new module called Screaming Bjarne (in which this wild eyed person appears on the screen and screams periodically) for After Dark might be even more effective. :-)]
Also from Mark: "Just so you all know, the Apple 400K External Floppy Disk Drive is no longer supported on the new Macintosh CPUs (the Classic, LC, and IIsi). The 800K drive is supported. Users who have old 400K drives who want to bring 'em over to their new Macs... tough."
Will he never stop? I hope not. Once more from Mark: "Seen in a reseller update memo... "Effective immediately the following Radius products have experienced a price reduction." Talk about your existential peripherals!"
