Biker chic appears to be taking over Hollywood. This weekend, Ducati will introduce Motogiro, the quintessential Italian bike rally, to the U.S. with a five-day event traversing California's Monterey Peninsula. In order to give the event the requisite sizzle, organizers have invited celebrity fans such as Keanu Reeves, Shia LaBeouf, Giovanni Ribisi, Jay Leno and Jason Lee and added a fashion show on Saturday featuring designs by Luca Apuana Ducati, Vespa, Moto Guzzi, Axo and Alpinestars.
In addition, Italian brand Belstaff, which has a long history of dressing stars on- and offscreen (most recently, Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy in "Wanted"), will appear in what is expected to be the summer's biggest blockbuster, the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight." Christian Bale's character Bruce Wayne wears the Belstaff Dark Leather Blouson, a vintage-look leather jacket with red stripes that reflects the house's motorcycling tradition. The jacket retails for $1,250 and will be available at Barneys New York next week.

classicWriter needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
I'm writing a children's book series aimed at the 8-12 year old audience. It's about three African American brothers (ages 7, 8, & 10) with the 8 yr old, Alexander, being the primary character. The task is to design a classic book cover that is inviting and engaging. The book size will 6x9, softback.
Alexander the Salamander
The book series will represent a side of African American kids that are commonly not seen in the media. Middle class, fun-loving, smart, inquisitive, well-spoken, caring, giving, friends of diverse races, etc. I want a classic cover to use with a great typeset/font style and color combination. I will probably also use elements of whatever is designed for the book cover for other things such as a website or t-shirt.
Good baseline colors to use are muted earthtones...tans, greens. Accent colors of red and yellow are good too.
- A great book cover; something you'd want to read if you saw the book on the shelf.
- scalability (I want to be able to use this style for the full series of books to come.
- colors (muted colors are good; doesn't have to be too bright)
- book series name: Alexander the Salamander
- first book in the series is named: Alexander the Salamander and The Challenge
- good representation of wholesome African American boys.... Think along the lines of African American, J. Crew-type kids
- Delivery of final artifacts in .eps and .psd
- Exclusive rights to whatever is designed
- main character is a boy, NOT a salamander so no need to play up any lizards
- no hip hop references or styles

The Sonoris Equalizer is a parametric equalizer in VST and SAWStudio format. The plugin is suitable for mastering and
mixing and features 7 bands, including lowpass, highpass, peaking and shelving filters. The plugin has a large graphical display that shows exactly what you get. The Sonoris Equalizer has an automatic upsampling mode. In this mode, the Equalizer has an even more accurate response, especially at
the higher frequencies.
Every band can be set up to process stereo, L , R or (M)id and (S)ide channels. Processing the mid or side information can be very useful in certain situations. In mastering for example, it allows you to enhance a centered vocal while leaving the other instruments untouched. Or to center a bass without losing the stereo imaging of the rest. Adjustment of is made easy because the SNEQ allows for monitoring the LR or MS channels.
The aim was to create a minimum phase equalizer with filters that match the response of their analog counterparts over the entire frequency range. Most digital eq's suffer from the so called pre-warping effect. This is an unwanted effect that occurs when translating an analog transfer function (the S-domain) mathematically to the digital domain (=z-domain).
This is mostly done by a process called bi-linear transformation and as a side-effect this process causes the gain to be zero dB at Nyquist ALLWAYS, independent of how you set the controls. This alone is not that bad, BUT the filters start behaving weird far below the Nyquist frequency and the result is a distorted frequency response. Below is a graph that shows the response of a peaking equalizer filter with and without the pre-warping effect:
The solid line is the wanted curve for a peaking filter, nice and symmetrical and if needed, non zero gain at Nyquist. The dotted line shows the pre-warping effect, notice the gain rising too early and fall to 0dB at Nyquist.
There are two ways to avoid this effect: mathematically, by adjusting the transfer to have a prescribed gain at Nyquist OR by using upsampling before the filter. In the SNEQ, the first technique is used in the default mode and the second in HQ mode.
Switching filters on and off is done with Soft Engage technology, that guarantee no pops and crackles. Soft Engage is a Sonoris proprietary technology.
In the VST version the internal 64 bits signal is dithered to 32 bits. Some hosts, like Reaper and Cubase accept the newer VST 2.4 double floats standard and in those hosts the output is in 64 bits, undithered.
"Mit den beiden Equalizern sind Sonoris äußerst leistungsfähige und transparent klingende Präzisionswerkzeuge gelungen."
"...a very substantially improved algorithm making this to my ear simply the BEST SOUNDING DIGITAL EQ I HAVE HEARD. Period."

British F1 Grand Prix 2013: Saturday's Qualifying Report - Jenson Button P11, Sergio Perez P14
- FP3: 18 laps, 1m32.926s (+1.439s), 12th
- Q1 (on Options): 1m31.979s, 8th
- Q2 (on Options): 1m31.649s, 11th overall
"I'm higher on the grid than I expected after practice. Yesterday, I didn't think we'd qualify ahead of one Ferrari and just behind the two Lotuses. But I was much happier in qualifying than I'd been all weekend – we should be positive that we've improved the car.
"I think 11th was the best we could have realistically achieved today. Even if we'd got into Q3, we'd probably have been 10th; so starting 11th means I'll have a new set of tyres and will start from the clean side of the grid.
"After Q2 I walked down the pitlane to the FIA scales, waving to the crowd. There were so many Union Jacks and rocket-red caps out there, and the fans have been unbelievably supportive all weekend. You always want to do a good job in front of your home crowd, so I want to say a big 'thank-you' to them for their support.
"You never know what will happen tomorrow: starting 11th isn't great, but we can race well from there.
"I will drive my heart out for a good result."
- FP3: 9 laps, 1m33.607s (+2.120s) , 18th
- Q1 (on Options): 1m31.953s, 7th
- Q2 (on Options): 1m32.082s, 14th overall
"It's been a difficult day.
The puncture in FP3 wasn't the best preparation for qualifying – and it made it more difficult, because we had to change the damaged floor for the older-spec version.
"This afternoon, I struggled a little with the warm-up of my tyres during Q2; I lost temperature when I was stopped and weighed at the FIA scales. We've been a bit unlucky all day.
"Still, we were a lot closer today than we were yesterday. Even if it's not apparent, we've definitely made some improvements, and I think we might have had the potential to slip into Q3 if we'd been a little bit luckier.
"Our race pace should be better than our qualifying pace. Tomorrow is still going to be difficult, but I'm positive we can go forwards from here."
MARTIN WHITMARSH - Team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
"It's been a difficult weekend for the team, but our pace in qualifying shows an upturn in form that we hope to carry into the race tomorrow.
"Jenson was unfortunate to miss out on Q3. In Q2, he lost out to 10th place by just 0.057s, and was only 0.659s from the fastest qualifier.
"Checo had an unlucky day: his poor luck started with his puncture in FP3, which damaged his floor and meant we had to fit an older-spec floor to his car. Into qualifying, he was called to the FIA weighbridge, which lost him tyre temperature, and then encountered traffic on his critical run, which lost him time.
"However, both our drivers are fantastic racers: Jenson will have the support of the home crowd behind him, and Checo will be determined to recover from the setbacks that affected him today. So I think our drivers are both set for charging races tomorrow."

Expert Advice
Braided Hearts: The How-To
Happy Valentine's Day to our amazing readers! MODERN loves you and all of your talent!
MODERN Facebook fan Dusti Napolitano, owner of Fire Monkey Hair Design, an on-location hair service (mostly bridal) in Long Island, New York, created this adorable braided hearts style—just in time for Valentine's Day! When he posted the pic on our wall, we knew we had to find out how he created it! He was kind enough to share the how to:
1. Create a center part in the hair from the forehead to the nape of the neck. Carve out a heart shape in the back of the head and secure this hair in a clip or hair band.
2. Starting on the right side of the center part, take a small triangular parting from the top center of the heart shape. From there, begin a french braid, but pick up new pieces of hair from the right side only and follow along the heart shaped parting. Stop picking up new hair at the bottom of the heart, but continue to braid about an inch past the bottom. Tie off with a hair band. Repeat these steps on the left side of the heart, taking new hair only from the left side of the braid and following the heart shape.
3. At the bottom of the heart, braid both the left and right sides together and secure.
4. For the center braid, have the client lean her head forward and begin at the bottom point of the heart. Take hair only from the outside edge of the heart by pulling the hair under the braid.
5. Follow along the heart shaped parting. When creating the top of the heart shape, pull the braid tighter toward the center to create a little dip. (Sometimes, it takes a little trial and error to manipulate the shape.)
6. As you come around the second hump of the heart, have the client put her head up and finish the braid, still only taking new pieces from the outside by pulling them under the braid from the center. Secure the braid at the end of the hair.
7. Take the end of the center braid and push it through the outside braid where the heart point comes together so the smaller braid is now under the larger braid. Wrap the small braid around the large braid like a barber pole and secure the ends together.

• plight •
Pronunciation: playt (ay = sounds like eye)
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Meaning: 1. [Noun] A situation, particularly a bad or threatening one; a predicament or jam. 2. [Noun] Health, condition, especially of cattle. 3. [Verb] To pledge, to promise.
Notes: Today you get two words for the price of one, though you wouldn't think so, since the two are spelled and pronounced identically. However, they are used in radically different ways; one is a noun, the other, a verb. Below we will see that they were not always so different.
In Play: The verbal sense of this good word is quite positive, "I plighted you my word that I will not embarrass you on the dance floor tonight and I won't." If you are looking for an inventive way to propose marriage, where better to look than the past? "I plight my troth (fidelity) to you forever, Adelaide; will you do the same?" Although the noun plight is more often used in negative sense, "The plight of Iraq has been alleviated by the removal of Saddam Hussein from power", it can also refer to the health of animals: "My cow is in good plight, so we needn't worry any more about milk."
Word History: The verb plight comes from Old English plihtan "to endanger, put at risk" from pliht "danger, risk"—some of which meaning still lurks beneath the surface of the phrase "to plight one's troth". It goes back to the PIE root *dlegh- "to be occupied", which also surfaced in English as play and pledge. The story of the change from [d] > [p] is a story of 'dissimilation', changing the [d] to another sound because it was too much like neighboring [l]. As we go back this far, we see that the two English words emerged from the same Old Germanic word, for origin of the noun plight is also Old English pliht "danger, risk". (We plight our gratitude today to Tim Ward for suggesting this interesting word split, keeping us from facing the plight of no good word for today.)

The Swedish cognate is «plikt», most commonly used in the sense of «duty» (the late king's motto was «Plikten framför allt»). Interestingly enough, another word, written and pronounced exactly the same and with cognates in other early Germanic tongues (including Old English), refers to various types of decks in small boats....
They obviously are too dissimilar to have any genetic relationship, but it would perhaps be interesting to look at pl- words to see if there is some common feature. Compare sloppy words like slow and sloth, the snotty and snide ones, the blowing, bloating and flowering words of so many different languages...

The CCRI Knights men's basketball team hosted the Wyverns of Quinsigamond Community College from Worcester, Mass. on Tuesday for a Region XXI non-league game and the Knights defeated Quinsigamond 89-65. With the victory, the Knights improved to 12-8 overall and 7-2 in Region XXI play. In addition sophomore captain Desmond Williams (Torrington, Conn.) vaulted himself into the No. 7 spot on the CCRI all-time scoring list.
The Knights came out with intense defensive pressure Tuesday night and used it to break open a 13-9 game after five minutes of play. They increased their lead to 32-19 with 6:40 remaining in the first half. The Knights were sparked by sophomore guard Rob Alers (Central Falls), who scored 11 first-half points to help the Knights go on a 21-12 run to close out the first half and go into the break with a 53-31 lead.
The second half was more of the same as the Knights' depth proved too much for the visiting Wyverns from Worcester. Though Quinsigamond had two with 12 points apiece, they were no match for CCRI, which had 15 steals on the game and eight blocked shots while forcing 26 Quinsigamond turnovers.
Offensively, CCRI had five players record double-digit scoring efforts, led captain Isaac Medeiros (Johnston) with 20 points along with 10 rebounds. Williams scored 17 points with eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocked shots. He came into the game with 1,029 career points, so the 17 points brings his career total 1,046. He moved ahead of Bob Brooks (1,032 points), Greg Simoneau (1,036 points), current CCRI assistant coach Pat Dame (1,040 points) and Doug Haynes (1,043 points) on the all-time scoring list. Williams needs just 10 points to tie No. 6 Rob Singleton (1,056 points) and 12 points to tie No. 5 Ken McDonald (1,058 points).
Co-captain Bryan Yarce (Cranston) added 13 points and seven assists. Also helping the Knights was Pat Marchand (Cranston) with 12 points, four rebounds and three blocked shots.
The Knights' next game will be Saturday when they will travel to New York, N.Y. to play the Division I Knights of Globe Institute of Technology at 2 p.m.
Lady Knights defeat defending champ Monroe
The No. 13 CCRI Lady Knights basketball team hosted the No. 15 ranked defending national champion Monroe College Mustangs form New Rochelle, N.Y. in their final game of the CCRI basketball Invitational. The Lady Knights defeated the Mustangs 75-73 in overtime. With the victory the Lady Knights improve to 16-2 on the season.
In a game that has been marked on both teams' calendars since they last played in March, both teams were prepared for a fierce battle. Monroe struck the first blow as it jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead. However, the Lady Knights showed tremendous resilience to come back and take a 10-8 lead at the 12:30 mark of the first half. The Lady Knights went on to take a 20-15 lead by the 8:45 mark of the first half. However, the battle-tested Mustangs were up to the task, as they closed the gap to one point going into the break trailing 31-30.
In the second half, once again, Monroe came out firing and took a 51-43 lead with 12:17 left in the game. The Lady Knights closed the gap to three points 51-48 after a Lexi Barros (New Bedford, Mass.) three-point play with 11 minutes left.
With a 64-62 lead, Monroe had the ball and was on a fastbreak attempting to extend the lead, but Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, N.J.) made an excellent defensive play as she took a charge from an oncoming Jasmine McRoy to give the Lady Knights that ball back with a chance to tie the game. With 1:22 showing on the clock Barros used her creativity to dribble-drive past her defender and release a floater over the Monroe frontcourt defenders to tie the game 64-64.
Both teams had chances to close out the game and the final opportunity for CCRI came with 30.3 remaining on the game clock and 30 on the shot. They drew up a play for captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, N.Y.) who went one-on-one with one of the larger Mustang defenders and was able to get a turnaround jumper off with three seconds left that rattled in-and-out.
As overtime began, Monroe once again delivered another body blow as it scored the first six points to take a 70-64 lead with 3:09 remaining. It was gut-check time for the Lady Knights – and they answered. Jackson and Barros both went 2-for-2 from the free throw line to cut the lead to two points with 2:43 left, and Jenna Ayala (Paterson, N.J.) sank a baseline jumper with 2:00 left to tie the game 70-70. Jackson would make two more free throws to give CCRI a 72-70 lead with 1:22 left. Barros also scored to give CCRI a 74-70 lead with less than a minute left in OT. Monroe guard Jasmine McRoy sank a tough contested 3-pointer with 3.7 second left to cut the Lady Knights lead to one point 74-73.
The Lady Knights were able to get the ball in-bounds afterwards to Barros who was subsequently fouled with a second left and made one of two free throws to give the Lady Knights a 75-73 lead and they hung on.
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Barros with 22 points and four steals and Jackson with 18 points, including an impressive 9-for-9 from the free-throw line. Also helping CCRI was Smith, with 14 points, four rebounds, three assist and two steals. The two steals for Smith give her 201 steals for her career, and she is the only Lady Knight to ever get 200 steals.
Also helping the Lady Knights was Nyjah Porcher (New Britain Conn.) with eight points and 18 rebounds, Moe Plummer (Fairfield, Conn.) with seven points and Ayala, who added four points – including the game-tying shot in overtime – and nine rebounds
"This team has been through a lot of adversity especially over the last few weeks," CCRI head coach Kate Lynch said. "What they have shown us is truly remarkable. They have such heart, passion and a great work ethic. Through it all, they've kept their heads held high and have kept on plugging away. They are a gifted group of young ladies. They have a goal in mind and will do anything and everything to reach it."
The Next game for the Lady Knights will be Saturday when they host the Colts of Orange County Community College from Middletown, N.Y. at 1 p.m.
No. 13 ranked Lady Knights Knockout Cougars 108-48!
The No. 13 CCRI Lady Knights basketball team hosted the 2013 CCRI basketball invitational over the weekend at the Vincent A. Cullen Fieldhouse. On Saturday the Lady Knights faced the Cougars of Genesee Community College from Batavia, N.Y. The Lady Knights easily defeated the Cougars 108-48.
Four new indoor track records set at Wesleyan Invite
The CCRI indoor track team traveled to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. to compete in the Wesleyan Invite II. It was a banner day for the Knights, as four new CCRI records were set in just their second meet of the season.
Middle-distance runner Daniel Duquette (North Attleboro, Mass.) won the 800 in a CCRI record time of 2:02.66. Sprinter Ryan Rotondo (Cranston) won the 60 dash in a time of 7.34 seconds. Bobby Allen (Cranston) won the mile run in 4:14.52 and then came back to set a CCRI school record in the 1,000 in a time of 2:35.23. Steven Vazquez (Central Falls) won the High Jump with a 6'6" leap.
Thrower Colin Cabral (Cumberland) placed fourth in the shot put with a school record toss of 40'09.5". Jordan Barboza (Warwick) placed fourth in the 60 hurdles with a school record of time of 9.28 seconds, then placed fifth in the high jump with a season-best leap of 5'10''.
Also competing for the Knights was Carlos Diaz (Smithfield) and he took 10th in the 60 in a time of 7.58 seconds. Also in the 60m dash was Jarrame Morris (Providence) who placed 25th in a time of 7.97 seconds. Both men also ran the 200m: Diaz placed ninth in a time of 24.84 seconds and Morris placed 22nd in a time 26.18 seconds. Kevin Redmond (South Kingstown) placed 6th in the shot put with a toss of 38'02". David Palkovic (Middletown) placed fifth in the mile run with a time of 5:03.54 and then placed ninth in the 1,000 with a time of 2:58.39. Finally, on the men's side, the men's 4x400 team of Vazquez, Duquette, Barboza and Allen placed fourth in a time of 3:37.09.
Two Lady Knights took the trip to Wesleyan and both showed much improvement from the week before. Olivia Emerick (Cranston) placed fifth in the 200 in a time of 29.63 seconds. Emerick also placed fifth in the 600 in a time of 1:57.49. Akande Boluwatife (Lagos, Nigeria) placed 17th in the 60 dash in a time of 9.49 and then came back and placed 18th in the 200 dash in a personal best time of 32.37.
Knights fall to D-I Monroe

Stroke Numbers Rise Among People With HIV
By Candace Y.A. Montague
January 18, 2011
Research suggests that people with HIV are up to three times more likely to have a stroke than those who are not infected. The study will be published tomorrow in the online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele, Professor of Neurosciences at the University of California conducted the research. He stated that, "Our findings showed that stroke hospitalizations in the United States decreased by seven percent in the general population within the last decade while stroke hospitalizations for people with HIV rose 67 percent."
There are three kinds of strokes. One is called Translent Ischemic Attack (TIA). These strokes are commonly referred to as mini-strokes and are caused by a temporary blood clot in the brain. Don't be fooled. They should be taken seriously. The second kind is the Hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic strokes occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures. They account for 13 percent of stroke cases. The third and most common stroke is called Ischemic. Ischemic strokes occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. It accounts for 87 percent of all stroke cases. Any stroke whether mini or major should not be taken lightly and is a sign of trouble within the brain.
The study revealed that stroke diagnoses among people with HIV increased by 537 more strokes from the start of the decade. People with HIV showed an increase in Ischemic strokes but not hemorrhagic. Why is the number rising? Dr. Ovbiagele explains, "Indeed, one potential explanation is the increasingly widespread use of combination antiretroviral medications in HIV-infected people. While these therapies have greatly increased life expectancy, they may boost the presence of risk factors associated with stroke. Another possibility is that longer exposure to HIV as a result of greater survival, even at low viral load levels, may allow for the virus to increase stroke risk."
Information such as this is handy to know but shouldn't discourage HIV positive people from taking their medications and seeing their doctor on a regular basis. Taking care of the body through proper diet and exercise can also reduce the risk of a stroke for everyone.

View the best solar energy companies currently servicing Urbana, IA
Our 122 reviews of the 21 solar power companies servicing Urbana in 2019 shows you the best 10 local solar panel installation companies by reputation. Enter your zip code and bill into the solar cost and savings calculator above to also see the cost of installing solar with the best solar companies near you and to get free quotes if you wish.
Firstly, no solar contractors can pay to get listed at the top of our search results.
The order of our list of best solar installers is displayed based on a formula balancing reviews number and reviews score only from the last two years. If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Urbana even if they don't have an office in Urbana. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

To much to post. I wish I went elsewhere. I will just say before you sign a deal with them please set up a meeting with your utility company and solar company and a electrician so everyone is on the same page and there will not be any hidden cost or any delay. Stand tough with them cause communication is not a strong point with them. Please shop around first. There is a lot of solar companies out there. I found one that is glad to come and make sure I am up and running soon. And I never purchased from the other company but there customer services skills are above and beyond what I expected.... read more

Tim Mueller screwed me out of a lot of money. He didn't pay the electrician. They didn't install the solar right and I had to hire a different solar company to come in and redo everything to get it up and running right. This man closed the doors to this business and opened up another solar company under the name of Solar Planet Group and then under LTD Solar. I understand that he is now operating under the name Solar Advisers.... read more
I contracted with RJ Construction to install solar array equipment. I was very satisfied with the quality of work as well as the innovative ideas RJ came up with.

Watch President Lawrence deliver his remarks.
Remarks by President Lawrence
Mr. Chairman, my colleagues on the Board of Trustees, honored guests, particularly our honorary degree recipients, my dear faculty colleagues, my dear staff colleagues, alumni, supporters, families, friends of the graduates—and I know none of you will be upset if I say–but most of all – soon to be alumni of Brandeis University – the class of 2013.
Your Commencement Day is a true turning point in your lives – a threshold as you complete this significant phase of your life and start toward the next. This is the time when university presidents talk about the fact that you are about to confront change. But for the class of 2013, this is something that you already know quite well. You have been dealing with change throughout your college career and indeed well before. You began high school in a world with a growing economy, but by the time you joined us, you had witnessed financial and employment markets crashing with more sustained uncertainty than at any time since the 1930s. You went to high school in a world without the Occupy Movement or Wikileaks, and before the Arab Spring. At Brandeis, many of you reacted to change and challenges by reaching out to help others, including victims of devastating earthquakes in Haiti. You witnessed, albeit remotely, attacks on United States embassies abroad and, not remotely at all, attacks much closer to home.
And you witnessed, indeed participated in, change right here on campus, including my own a little over two years ago inauguration. My family and I will forever be grateful to you for the warm welcome that you extended to us and the way you have let us become part of your lives and your world here at Brandeis. You were some of the first students to participate in a Justice Brandeis Semesters, some of the first to take classes in the Mandel Center for the Humanities, some of the first to swim in the reopened Linsey Pool. You spearheaded 'Deis Impact – our festival of social justice – and you brought the message of "Small School Big Spirit" all the way to the Today Show. And let it be clear that the only reason we lost to the University of Tennessee is because they have more kids on campus on any given day then we have living alumni. You've survived hurricanes and blizzards with good humor[laughter]. Good humor, right? And faced tragedy and uncertainty in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings with grace and compassion. We all learned the importance of confronting these events together. At Brandeis Beginnings, I like to remind students "none of us is as smart as all of us." I believe that what we learned last month in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon attacks, is that none of us is as strong as all of us. We are Boston Strong – We are Brandeis Strong.
Having reached this milestone in your lives, I know your thoughts now turn to family and friends. You owe much of what you have accomplished to the support and indeed the sacrifice of those who have loved you and have cared for you. Please now stand and recognize those who have supported you during your years here at Brandeis, and in fact throughout your life.
So if we can all agree that the world is changing faster than ever before, and that you have been experiencing this change during a now substantial portion of your lives, it is worthwhile to take a few minutes, to think about how you will address the challenges of a world that is so very, very different from the one in which you went to high school.
I want to think about this from the precise moment we mark today: How have you been prepared here at Brandeis for an extremely fast-changing world.
From the perspective of today, I think the right question is not "What have I learned?" although it is related to that. The right question is "Who have I become?" or better yet, "Who am I in the process of becoming?" There are many aspects of this question to be sure, but for each of you graduating today, there will be different answers but for each of you graduation today, part of that answer is, "I am a Brandeisian."
How you, personally, have integrated Brandeis values into your own experience will vary, but I am going to suggest to you today that there are some common themes as to what it means to be Brandeisian.
First, it means that you recognize opportunity. The ability to recognize opportunity is exemplified by the ways in which you have embraced the seamlessness with which our undergraduate program is connected with our graduate and professional schools and our wide-ranging disciplines in the ways in which they connect with each other. Consider the number of dual and even triple degrees we award today and the large number of you graduating with academic achievements in many (often different) fields: Biology and American Studies, Business and Art History, Health: Science, Society & Policy(which I just said for the grown-ups in the room, the kids know it as HSSP) and Film, Biochemistry and English. And those are just the duel degrees of the people I ran into on the way here this morning. Consider as well the number of you who explored studies and projects on a graduate level while still undergraduates. You have co-authored papers with neuroscientists, psychologists, economists and historians. To recognize and take full advantage of opportunities is not without its challenges. Those of you who have combined major campus leadership roles with your studies, achieved multiple degrees, studied abroad or taken part in a Justice Brandeis Semester know that sometimes this has been challenging, sometimes very challenging. You have always been buoyed by your hopes. As journalist and early American feminist Margaret Fuller, who had she lived a century later, would, I am quite sure have been a Brandeisian, wrote, "Cherish your best hopes as a faith, and abide by them in action. Such shall be the means to their fulfillment."
Being Brandeisian also means that you are a leader. In your years here, I am sure that you have played a leadership role in some area, formal or informal, in the arts or sciences or business or policy, for an issue or an event, a celebration or a remembrance. Leadership, after all, isn't just holding a title or winning an election or organizing an event. Leadership is also standing up for something you believe, taking an idea and making it a reality, helping friends out of difficult situations, demonstrating kindness and compassion, communicating your ideas clearly and convincingly, and righting wrongs.
Our outgoing chair of the Board of Trustees, Malcolm Sherman, has exemplified this kind of leadership. In the face of economic challenges and leadership transitions, he has continually reminded the Brandeis family over the last six years that this institution brings great value to students, to scholarship, to the arts, and to the world. Mal, your Brandeis family salutes you and thanks you for all you have done for this institution over your decades of service, and especially over these past six years as chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Now, just as our outgoing chair, Mal Sherman, joins the class of 2013 in this time of transition, there is another member of the graduating class as it were I would like to recognize, our master of ceremonies par excellence and the unmistakable voice of the Brandeis Commencement, Dr. John Hose. Over 30 years, John has ably served half of the presidents of Brandeis as a trusted and valued adviser. He will retire at the end of June. John, Brandeis will always be grateful for your extraordinary service to this institution and you will always be a cherished member of the Brandeis family.
There are two other attributes that I think relate to being a Brandeisian. Brandeisians take risks, do things that challenge them and even scare them. They stick their necks out for causes they believe in and they move beyond their comfort zone whether it's appearing on stage for the very first time – anyone who has been to Culture X knows what I am talking about – or engaging in serious discussion of issues with people of very different views and backgrounds. Risk-taking doesn't just occur on the top of a mountain, it occurs on the ground, on the Great Lawn or in late night conversations in dorms. Is there any greater risk to take in this society at this time than the sheer risk of being yourself, and of trying approaches to life without certainty of success or outcome. You have learned that well at Brandeis. I have every confidence as I look out at on this class today that you will achieve amazing and unique things in this world as you go off to law school, medical school, grad school, new jobs, to start your own companies, and a full range of adventures that lie ahead. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his journal, wrote to himself: "Do not be too timid about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better. What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never again be so afraid of a tumble."
Brandeisians are not afraid of a tumble!
Finally, Brandeisians follow the lead of our namesake, Justice Louis Brandeis, and know that social justice is not an abstract theory but is a way of life. If you can take this principle into everything you do, I have no doubt that each and every one of you will have a positive influence on your world, however you may choose to express it. Sometimes you will be presented with wonderful opportunities to repair the world. Sometimes, the opportunities reveal themselves only in response to difficulties. How we respond to adversity says a great deal about our character and as we have faced challenges to our safety and security, I have seen in our community the echoes of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King who said, "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Each of the honorary degree recipients whom we celebrate today has proven the worth of Dr. King's words. Vartan Gregorian in the world of higher education, libraries and philanthropy. Rick Hodes in the streets and hospitals of Addis Ababa. Ellsworth Kelly in the artistic realm and museums around the world, including our own wonderful Rose Art Museum. Chaim Peri for hundreds, thousands of young people, Ethiopians and Russians, whose lives he has immeasurably changed. Elaine Schuster, providing her voice for those without voices. And Leon Wieseltier in the uncompromising search for a politics that avoids easy labels and seeks a deeper integrity. Light drives out darkness, love drives out hate.
Look around you today. As you leave this place, you are most decidedly not alone. It is absolutely striking to me how many Brandeisians tell me that their closest friends, year or years or decades later, continue to be their Brandeis classmates. There is much you take from this place, but most of all what you take is each other. You are an undergraduate student for four years – you are alumni for the rest of your lives.
And it is not only each other that you take with you, it is the place. Remember what you liked best about yourself at Brandeis – and stay in touch with that person, the person you became, the person you are still becoming. There's a paradox here. You can't hold onto this place – you felt it this past week during senior week, as you felt it slip through your hands. That is because places do not belong to us – we belong to them. You will always belong to this place, to its values and what it stands for.
I hope that in the months and years ahead, you will always feel that Brandeis is a place to which you can return, either in your mind or even literally here to campus – return to find a beacon of clarity in an all-too-uncertain world. Calling this place home, in the deepest sense of the word and for the rest of your lives – that more than anything is what it means to be a Brandeisian.
Thank you all.
We'll miss you all.
God bless you all.

Crowded Courtroom As Austin Sigg is Charged as an Adult
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — A 17-year-old student was formally charged Tuesday with the kidnapping, sexual assault and murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway, whose body parts were found at a park in a Denver suburb earlier this month.
Austin Reed Sigg, a student at Arapahoe Community College, was also charged with attempting to kidnap, sexually assault and murder a female jogger last May.
The charges were outlined in a 17-count accusation filed by Jefferson County, Colorado, District Attorney Pam Russell Tuesday.
Click here to read the entire charging document.
Sigg, who lived about one mile from Ridgeway's home in Westminster, was charged as an adult, a decision that could be challenged by his lawyers.
The teen was arrested a week ago and accused of strangling Ridgeway, dismembering her and placing some of her body parts in a crawlspace under his family's home.
Police first found parts of her body at a park 5 miles away five days after the bespectacled blonde girl disappeared while walking to Witt Elementary School on October 5.
The big break in the investigation came last Tuesday night, when Sigg's mother called 911 and handed him the phone. Sigg, police said, confessed.
Along with charges related to Jessica's death, Sigg is also accused in the May assault of a 22-year-old woman on a hiking trail.
FOX 31 in Denver reports the courtroom was flowing over Tuesday with friends and family of both Jessica Ridgeway and Austin Sigg.
FOX31′s Marika Lorraine approached two girls at the hearing who know Sigg.
Read more here about why they were there and about the other people who attended Sigg's hearing.

Any Indian festival is not completed without a simple kheer or payasam. A dessert or offering to God prepared in milk base and sugar. It could be made with rice, vermicelli, tapioca pearl even lentils! Indian ladies whip up this one with whatever they have in hand at the time.
I usually do with the super fine vermicelli my payasam, which is cooked under 3 minutes! You cannot really feel the vermicelli when u tastes it or drink it.
The vermicelli can be found in any Indian grocery store. The vermicelli is made from Pakistan.
Vermicelli payasam
Vermicelli: 1/2 cup broken in small pieces
Milk full cream: 2 + 1/2 cups
Sugar: 3/4 cup (can be increased or decreased)
Green cardamom: 3 or 4 crushed (pod removed)
Cashew: 8 to 10 broken in small pieces
Raisins: 6 to 8 raisins
Ghee (clarified butter): 2 tsp (just for frying the nuts and vermicelli)
I used the super fine vermicelli (Ahmed product of Pakistan). The vermicelli is already roasted but I fried for 2 minutes to make it crisp and aromatic ( step can be skipped if u use the roasted vermicelli)
Add the ghee in a pan, keep in medium heat, drop the cashew nuts and fry until they turn golden brown. Remove the nuts in the same ghee , add the raisins and fry until they puff.
Now if u want to clean the ghee pan, roast the vermicelli for 2 minutes.
Pour milk in saucepan, bring to boil point, add the vermicelli. I will be cooked under 3 minutes (yes they are super fine) , once they are soft, add the sugar and mix well. Keep in stove another one or 2 minutes.
Swtich off the stove, add the green cardamom, and fry nuts and raisins.
Serve hot, cold or room temperature.
If it is thick, thin it with little milk (adjust the sugar if u add more milk).
Wishing all My Tamil, Malayalee and Bengali readers a Happy New Year.

In his powerful Letter from Birmingham City Jail, The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responded to eight Alabama clergymen who had written to him about the slow pace of change. In his missive, he talked about the appalling silence of the good people. He talked about the need to be creative and seek new ways to get the job done.
"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people."
Unfortunately, we see examples of this all too frequently today. Constant political bickering and a lack of civility have stymied efforts to make effective and positive change in Washington. We hear of escalating violence in our country and across the world, and feel a lack of peace in our everyday lives. We all see the need to be more cooperative, to listen more readily, and to seek new solutions for strife and contention.
Too often, however, it is too easy for good people to remain silent. A recent Beacon article about a task force against domestic violence highlighted that painfully well. A survivor shared her story, which included years of physical and emotional abuse and being stalked. Her abuser once damaged her car, forcing her to take the bus. One night, he showed up on the bus and refused to get off without her. Fearing for the safety of other passengers, she left with him.
"He dragged me by the hair in the middle of the city, and nobody helped," she said. "I was crying and asking for help but people didn't want to get involved. That's one of the messages … You need to step in. He drove me around until 2 a.m. smacking me. I thought I was going to die."
And yet, there is hope. Take, for example, the story of Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl who has been a tireless – and extremely vocal – proponent of girls' education. Her advocacy, which includes a blog and establishing a school fund for poor girls, angered the Taliban, who last fall approached her school bus, shot her several times, and pledged to finish the job should she survive. She was recently released from the hospital and is continuing to recuperate in her family's care in England.
Her bravery sparked a worldwide reaction and has galvanized others to take up her cause. The United Nations declared a day in her honor as people around the globe denounced the Taliban's actions. She has pledged to continue her efforts.
This weekend, on the holiday celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s life's good deeds, let us all reflect on the need to work closer together, to end bickering, and to work for the common good. Let us pledge to "step in," to be people who do not stand by silently, but who use our words and actions to speak – loudly – for good.
Yes and let's all remember: It starts at the top!

Alright – so I shouldn't be buying more make up storage, I should be downsizing but its a hard job!
I have 2 ikea cabinets, a large pink cabinet, three large plastic drawers for skincare samples, a Japonesque make up trolley then about 5-6 make up bags with my day to day bits and pieces.
Well…I'm sick to death of having so many bags to rummage through in the mornings – in the end I give up and just use a bit of concealer and lip gloss so after much searching – through Ikea and Argos catalogues, in B&Q, in Muji, in Craft stores I found this rather fab Beauty Box!
Most beauty boxes I don't like because they smell of funny rubber (ok this one might smell too) and they don't have enough compartments – the storage areas are too deep, therefore I still end up stacking things one top of each other.
I do really like Screenface and Shu Uemura Beauty make up cases, but at around £260 and £300 respectively, its just too expensive for me.
This case has 4 Cantilever trays and 3 pull out drawers – it looks big but not massive (I didn't want another filing cabinet) and it has wheels!
Paid £80 for this including shipping.
What do you think?!

New Female Human Model in World of Warcraft Has Us Rerolling
Change is finally happening to every character in the World of Warcraft. Now in its ninth year of release, World of Warcraft has been starting to show its age. Luckily, Blizzard is going to give all of your characters a much needed makeover coinciding with the release of World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor.
In a recent blog by Blizzard developers, the masterminds behind the most popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game in the world finally revealed the changes that are going to the in-game model for female human character. Originally, the female human only contained 1,000 polygons. Now, Blizzard is aiming for over 5,000. This means that the new design will run much cleaner, have more articulation, have smoother animation and can incorporate a lot more details.
"With the revamp, we're completely overhauling every aspect of the player models, but our goal is to do so while retaining the core look and feel that has always made them your character," Blizzard senior art director Chris Robinson wrote. "We'll feel like we've succeeded if you see the updated version of your character and it still feels like you're looking at the character you've been playing for the past however many years—only someone has finally focused a lens."
We can't wait to see how Blizzard will finally overhaul the Tauren hump. No release date has been set, but stay tuned for our continuing coverage of World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor.

A picture of the field at Candlestick Park posted on Facebook by kicker Billy Cundiff raised concerns that there might be another problematic playing surface one week after complaints about the poor conditions at FedEx Field in last weekend's Seahawks win.
The 49ers were asked about the condition of the field on Wednesday and agreed that things aren't in great shape. Long snapper Brian Jennings, who worked out at the stadium with Cundiff, said that the "grass is thin" but said that the footing was stable during the workout. Coach Jim Harbaugh expressed a similar sentiment.
"I thought it was OK, yeah. It's not like it is in September. Most grass field tend not to be as lush in the winter months," Harbaugh said, via Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee.
Jennings said that the team has played twice on the field since it was resurfaced late in the season and theorized that a lot time under tarps during a rainy December could account for the sparse grass. Hopefully, the footing is stable and the quality of the field isn't an issue again this weekend.

Falcom Keeps Fans in Mind with Latest Trails Title
Falcom's Trails of Nayuta was developed with some fan feedback in mind according to the developer's president.
Speaking with Siliconera, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo discussed just what the process was for creating the new Trails title, which combines fan favorite elements of both the Ys and Trails series. "We wanted to mix the best elements of the Ys and Trails series," Kondo stated. "We get feedback from fans of the Trails series that they really love the story, but the battles take a very long time. In order to address that and please the fans, we wanted to make more of an action based battle system."
Based on the game's sales success overseas, Kondo said Falcom is looking into developing the Trails of Nayuta into its own franchise. Though the game hasn't been localized for Western audiences as of yet, Kondo is hoping to get the game released stateside.
Just how well the PSP title will be received here in North America remains to be seen, as Sony's support for the handheld has all but dried up since the launch of the PlayStation Vita.

The condition in which John McCain continues to rearrange the economy to cater to people as rich as he is (worth 100 million plus, has 11 homes, his own private jet...).
John McCain would increase taxes on the middle and lower classes, while decreasing taxes for anyone making more than $250,000. That would leave everyone below him working like slaves with no chance of ever breaking through - no matter how smart they are, no matter how hard they try, or no matter what they do in life to try to escape middle class. This McNopoly would make him and his cronies happy because they would get to stay exactly where they are while your life continues to suck.

MILLBRAE – A man tried to lure an 11-year-old girl into his car in Millbrae this week, police said today.
The suspect, described as a Middle Eastern man between 30 and 40 years old, stopped in front of Taylor Middle School at 850 Taylor Blvd. shortly before 3 p.m. on Wednesday and asked the victim where he could find the library, Deputy Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
The suspect then allegedly asked the girl to get into his vehicle. The girl ran away, and the suspect fled east on Taylor Boulevard, Rosenblatt said.
The suspect vehicle was described as either a dark green, four-door sedan or a gray or earth-tone colored vehicle, Rosenblatt said. The victim's mother saw the vehicle but was unable to see the license plate number.

Khazeena and Shehzeena are the daughters of Shah Sahab who is a religious and traditionalist man, these central characters are poles apart in personalities. Khazeena adheres to all the religious and cultural norms imposed by her traditionalist father, whereas Shehzeena is the rebel of the family.
Khazeena is in love with her cousin, Taimoor, who lives with them. The love story of Khazeena and Taimoor is in the knowledge of Shah Sahib, but he plans to tie Shehzeena with Taimoor because of her bolshie attitude. Taimoor is hesitant to take a stand against the will of Shah Sahab because of the favors he has bestowed upon him. The other reason he does this is because he wants to keep the bloodline of the family pure. Khazeena is adopted.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - For UC Santa Barbara catcher Doug Hansen, Friday's game vs. top-ranked UC Irvine will take on even more meaning than the opener of a weekend series between Big West rivals.
"I think people are a lot more aware of diabetes," Hansen said, "but they don't understand what you have to do as a diabetic."
That's part of the reason for Friday's Diabetes Awareness Day at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium as Hansen - along with several others - will be honored before the 2 p.m. game. Hansen developed type 1 diabetes when he was three years old and as a Division I athlete, must frequently stay on top of his eating regimen.
Sparked by six-year-old Kyle DeSchryver, a T-Ball player from Arroyo Grande who also has type 1 diabetes, as well as a UCSB research team that developed the artificial pancreas for type 1 diabetics, the UCSB Athletics Department is proud to support Diabetes Awareness Day.
Friday's events kicks off a great weekend at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium that includes Faculty Free Friday - all UCSB faculty and staff will be admitted free by showing their ID - and the first 50 students will receive free Chipotle burritos. On Saturday, the first 100 fans with a paid admission will receive a free UCSB beach towel and on Sunday it's a Kids to College game where all kids 13 and under receive free admission and the first 100 students will receive free Domino's pizza. Plus, on Sunday, every fan will receive a free UCSB foam finger.
Also, the UCSB Athletic Department is pleased to offer free tickets to emergency personnel during National Emergency Services Week where all emergency service personnel, and a guest will be admitted free all weekend. Click here for more information.
Hansen, a junior from Redwood City, Calif., must spend extra time focusing on what he consumes more than most college students and because he is constantly active - participating in three-hour practices or on game days and has to prepare accordingly.
"The biggest thing for me is to always be prepared going into a day," Hansen said. "I know the activity level for a practice, for a game, so I know these activity levels during a day. I know how these activity levels change me, so I know how to account for these different levels. A good way to keep control is to develop a routine each day and knowing my activity level every day."
So when his buddies want to order a dessert following a meal, or go and gorge themselves on pizza, Hansen must think twice about it.
"I eat a lot of pizza, I can hang with anybody in that category," he said. "But if I eat a lot, I have to take a lot of insulin to account for it."
When he does go out to eat Hansen usually sticks to certain meals or inquires about the amount of carbohydrates in what he may order. When the Gaucho baseball team stops on road trips at a fast food restaurant, Hansen asks for a nutrition guide to monitor the carb levels.
"I stick to certain meals and I've gotten good at memorizing things," he says. "I have built up a database in my head so I can look at food and get a feel for it. ... To pack for a trip somewhere, or before I go somewhere I have to think about a meal plan, or do I have enough insulin? I have to do certain things just a little differently."
Helping type 1 diabetics, such as Hansen and DeSchryver - who will throw out the first pitch on Friday - is the UCSB research team that successfully created a computer-simulated system for evaluating an investigational artificial pancreas.
According to Dr. Alison Okada Wollitzer, the Director of Research Administration and Operations at the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute, "The Artificial Pancreas Project is a collaborative research project between the Chemical Engineering Department at UCSB and the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute. The project is part of a multi-center effort funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to find a mechanical cure for type 1 diabetes through the development of an artificial pancreas. The UCSB/Sansum team has led the effort to develop a platform to automatically deliver the correct amount of insulin to patients throughout the day and night."
To read more on the UCSB research team's efforts, please click here.
Eventually their research can help type 1 patients, but for now Hansen has to continually monitor his blood sugar level. He wears an insulin pump, which helps maintain his blood sugar in between meals. During games, he tucks the pump behind his left hip.
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler also uses an insulin pump, according to Hansen, but removes his during games so it doesn't get crushed if he takes a hit.
According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse Web site, "people can get diabetes at any age. Type 1 diabetes is usually first diagnosed in children, teenagers, or young adults. With this form of diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked and destroyed them. Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes taking insulin and possibly another injectable medicine, making wise food choices, being physically active and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.
"Type 2 diabetes, formerly called adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes. ... This form of diabetes usually begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin properly. At first, the pancreas keeps up with the added demand by producing more insulin. In time, however, it loses the ability to secrete enough insulin in response to meals. Being overweight and inactive increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes."
Hansen sees his diabetes physician once every six months for check-ups and makes the point that there is no umbrella rulebook for living with diabetes because "it's a personal thing and everybody's different."
But, without the help of his mother, Janet, or his grandmother, Joan, he wouldn't be able to manage it the way he has been, or to have been as active as he has been. Before becoming a Gaucho, Hansen was the catcher at College of San Mateo, helping the team win North Coast Conference titles in his freshman and sophomore seasons. Named to the San Mateo All-County Team as a catcher at Juniperro Serra High, Hansen also played football and was named to the All-County Second Team.
Janet Hansen monitored her son's insulin levels until he was about 12, accompanying him on doctor's visits and teaching him how to deal with his diabetes.
"My grandma raised my two aunts with type 1, so she helped my mom and she raised me on it," said Hansen, whose mother would chaperone field trips while he was in school so she could keep an eye on his blood sugar levels when he was younger. "My mom did really well with me and helped me manage diabetes."

Metallica Promises 'New, Sick as F—, Over the Top, Out of Control' Stage Design for Future Shows
About a month after their historic, newly launching Orion Music + More festival weekend, which takes places this June in Atlantic City, N.J., the mighty Metallica will return to Mexico for a pair of shows at the Sports Palace in Mexico City. The shows are scheduled for Aug. 1 and 2. Why is that a big deal, other than being a few more tour dates? Well, the Four Horsemen promised to unveil a "mind-blowing" new stage that "needs to be seen to be believed." Oh, how Metallica never cease to amaze us.
The 140X50-foot rigging will feature "colossal components" and "striking visual elements" culled from across the band's three-decade career. This, we gotta see! Does that mean we're getting Lady Justice back from the 1988-89 'Damaged Justice' trek, or perhaps the mid-stage diamond shaped "snake pit" from their early '90s shows?
Mexico has a special place in Metallica's collective heart, and is one of the band's favorite international tour stops. In 1993, towards the end of the 'Black' album touring cycle, Metallica played an unprecedented five sold-out nights at the Sports Palace.
"Given our history with our rabid Mexican fans over the past decades, I couldn't think of a more appropriate place to unveil our new, sick as f---, over the top, out of control stage that will be the cornerstone of our touring escapades for the next years to come," said drummer Lars Ulrich. "Don't be scared boys and girls, this is going next level."
Then in 2009, the band played three consecutive sold-out shows to over 150,000 fans at Foro Sol Stadium, which was captured in the 'Metallica -- Mexico City Live' CD/DVD. This summer, 'Tallica plan to top all previous Mexican shows. Nothing like setting some goals. Ulrich also promises that this new stage will be "the cornerstone of our touring escapades for the next years to come." So we'll get to see it in the flesh for ourselves one day. (We hope!)
Tickets for these shows go on sale publicly on March 24 at 11 AM.

The family of James DiMaggio, who authorities say kidnapped teenager Hannah Anderson and killed her little brother, Ethan, is running a paternity test to determine if he could be their father.
DiMaggio's sister, Lora Robinson, wants this information, as well as access to the evidence collected by sheriff's and FBI investigators, "for closure," said a spokeswoman for Robinson.
Brett Anderson, the children's father, said the idea of paternity testing was absurd.
"It's just ridiculous," Anderson said in a brief telephone interview Wednesday. "They identified Ethan through my DNA."
Hannah has given NBC News an exclusive interview that will air at 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Thursday on the "Today" show.
In talking about her kidnapping by a longtime family friend, she said, "In the beginning I was a victim, but now knowing everyone out there is helping me I consider myself a survivor instead. My mom raised me to be strong."
A San Francisco publicist working for Brett Anderson said on Wednesday that it would be impossible for DiMaggio to be the girl's father because he didn't even meet Anderson and his wife until she was six months pregnant with Hannah.
Lora Robinson has sent DiMaggio's blood and hair samples to a private laboratory for DNA and toxicology testing, and has access to samples from 16-year-old Hannah, said Cathy Griffin, speaking for Robinson.
"It's not that we're making accusations," Griffin said. "This is no indictment of Hannah, but things aren't adding up. We want to do our own forensics."
She said Robinson wants to see the evidence that DiMaggio was guilty of murder and kidnapping, and to be given his personal effects, including the gun he fired before he was killed by FBI agents.
San Diego County sheriff's homicide investigators say DiMaggio kidnapped Hannah and murdered Ethan, 8, and their mother at his home in Boulevard. He rigged his house and garage to burn on Aug. 4 to cover the murders, and the boy's body was badly charred. The body of Christina "Tina" Anderson, 44, who was killed by a blow to the head, was not burned.
The discovery of their bodies set off a weeklong manhunt for DiMaggio that ended in a central Idaho wilderness on Aug. 10. FBI agents fatally shot DiMaggio and rescued Hannah at a forest campsite.
Authorities and some of Hannah's friends from El Capitan High School in Lakeside have said DiMaggio had expressed an infatuation with Hannah, which she found repulsive.
Investigators said a security camera at an East County Border Patrol checkpoint showed DiMaggio and Hannah in his car, heading west from Boulevard, shortly after midnight on Aug. 4, some 20 hours before his house ignited in flames. Griffin said Robinson wants to view that video.
Robinson talked to Brett Anderson on Friday, Griffin said, and "they are both baffled over how Jim could have done this."
DiMaggio left his $112,000 life insurance policy to Brett Anderson's stepmother, Bernice Anderson, DiMaggio's friend Andrew Spanswick told reporters on Monday.
Spanswick, a Hollywood therapist with a chain of substance abuse treatment centers, said he believes that at the time DiMaggio designated his beneficiary, he intended the money to be used for Hannah and Ethan.
Spanswick said he has known DiMaggio for about seven years, through DiMaggio's sister. Lora Robinson was married to Berry Robinson, a longtime friend of Spanswick and the son of R&B singer Smokey Robinson.
Spanswick and members of the Anderson family have told reporters over the past two weeks that DiMaggio was viewed as an uncle to Hannah and Ethan. They also said DiMaggio had a "purely platonic" relationship with Christina Anderson after Brett Anderson moved to Tennessee some months ago with a new job.
A memorial service will be held for Christina Anderson and Ethan on Saturday.
