The Gemäldegalerie possesses one of the world's finest collections of European art from the 13th to 18th century. After the collection was founded in 1830, it was systematically built up and perfected. The exhibition includes masterpieces by artists from every age of art history such as van Eyck, Bruegel, Dürer, Raphael, Tizian, Caravaggio, Rubens, Vermeer and Rembrandt.
This newly built museum is situated at the Kulturforum. It has about 7,000 square metres of exhibition space. A complete tour of the 72 rooms covers almost two kilometres. Two of the major sections are formed by Italian painting from the 13th to 16th century and Netherlandish painting of the 15th and 16th century.
Old German painting of the Late Gothic and Renaissance eras is represented by such great masters as Konrad Witz, Albrecht Dürer, Baldung Grien, Cranach and Holbein. The octagonal Rembrandt room enjoys a key position at the heart of the museum. The sixteen works by this artist form one of the largest and highest quality collections of Rembrandt paintings. They are flanked by additional gems of Dutch and Flemish painting of the 17th century. Portraits, genre paintings, interiors, landscapes and still-lifes illustrate certain artists' preferences for particular types of themes.
Italian, French, German and English painting of the 18th century is presented in six rooms. This splendid collection of paintings includes works by Canaletto, Watteau, Pesne and Gainsborough.
The main gallery contains one thousand masterpieces. These paintings are complemented by four hundred works in a study gallery on the lower floor. Visitors also have access to a digital gallery with computerized information in German, English and French. Audio-tours are also available in German and English.

to start, a little history:
First off, I don't consider mine "perfect" by any means. But I will say that I do consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about eyebrows. I've been dealing with mine for most of my life. As a child with naturally dark hair and even darker (and thicker) eyebrows, you can imagine how difficult some of my elementary years were as an 11 year old battling a uni-brow...lol. But seriously, over the years I've had some really interesting brow mishaps. From discovering the wonder that is tweezers, to abusing that luxury and over plucking the you-know-what out of them. So basically, my knowledge and tips come purely from my years and years of mistakes in the past. I've learned what works and what doesn't and luckily, in my college years, finally figured out how to maintain them in a way that worked for my face.
Now keep in mind, eyebrows are a tricky business. Remember that everyone's preferences are different when it comes to brows. Everyone has a slightly different natural shape and arch to theirs. Which brings me to my first tip:
1. Go with what nature intended. Play up your natural arch and brow shape. If you don't have a very "arched" natural arch, don't force it. It will never look smooth or natural and you'll be stuck maintaining them like CRAZY. If you "clean up" your natural shape, it will be much more flattering to your face.
Also consider the length of your actual arch. While it shouldn't extend too far down your brow bone, tweezing or waxing them off too short can really throw off the proportion and balance of your face. Trust me, I've been there... to both extremes.
2. Don't overpluck the "tail" of your brows. Use the little trick I mentioned and demonstrated in my video (watch it below) to find the perfect stopping point for your particular face.
So you went to Target and saw the most amazing little mirror that allowed you to see every single hair on your face. As grossed-out as you were, for some reason you bought it. Yep, been there too. It's tempting, and trust me, for YEARS I thought this was the ONLY way to pluck my brows. Looking back at myself in pictures during this time really proved this next tip. Thank GOD I lost that mirror. Because I'd probably still be using it and my eyebrows would be 1/4 their size.
3. Don't pluck with a magnifying mirror. Ever. Seems like a great idea, and it makes seeing the hair so much easier, but if you need a 10x magnifying mirror to see the hair, you don't need to pluck it. Unless you have serious vision issues, you don't need one of these ever.
4. If you are unsure about tweezing a certain hair, just don't do it. Chances are, if you can't decide if it really needs to go, it doesn't. Plucking just one hair can leave a gap or mess with the shape of your brows.
5. Only trim if necessary. I could type a lengthy how-to about this, but just use my demonstration in the video to help you. There are some some very important things to remember when doing this.
6. If your brows look uneven (I've been there MANY times), DON'T pluck the one that appears larger in order to make it match the smaller one. Chances are, you'll end up with not one, but two over-plucked brows. Just fill-in the area of the "smaller" one that appears not to match the other. Even them up with a brow pencil or eyeshadow while that area grows out.
7. If you've over-plucked or over-trimmed in any way, put the tweezers down and step AWAY from the mirror. Trust me, a few weeks of letting them grow back out will be worth it. During that time, just wear some large sunglasses. But seriously, you can grow them out without looking grizzly. This doesn't mean you have to neglect the obvious re-growth that shouldn't be there. AKA hair in the uni-brow area or hair that is far above or below the natural arch. Just leave the hair to grow right around the natural shape you want.
So what the heck do I do now that they've grown out?
8. To get the shape you want, whether you've grown out an over-plucked situation and need to start fresh, or you just want to do something with your brows for the first time, I'd strongly suggest going to a reputable salon to get them waxed. Tell them not to go overboard and bring pictures if you want. Just be realistic and choose pictures of brows that are similar to your natural arch and shape.
9. After you've gotten your perfect shape, you can maintain them yourself! As they grow back, you'll notice the shorter hairs that had been waxed (or plucked) from before. Tweeze ONLY those. Don't get happy and tweeze any longer hairs.
10. NEVER and I mean NEVER use one of those "eyebrow razors". Invented by the devil. I mean seriously, why market such a thing? Definitely not a precise tool. Plus, any hair that is growing in a large enough area where you'd need to use a razor should probably be waxed. Trust me. It will last longer and look a lot better. If you take a razor to any area around your brows, you're just asking for a mishap. Plus it looks like stubble when it grows back which is just weird looking in the eyebrow area. ...well, any area really.
11. When filling them in, use less product than you think. It's easy to go overboard here. Also, use a product a little lighter than you'd think you'd need. For example, my eyebrows are very dark brown, almost black hairs. If I used a dark brown, almost black product to fill them, even if I tried to use a light hand, the result would be a bit.... Groucho.... you get the picture.
Products I mentioned in the video:
Tweezerman Tweezers
Sonia Kashuk "spoolie brush" or MAC (or any brand) disposable mascara wands
B Beaute brow shaping scissors (Ulta sells them)
Maybelline Define-A-Brow pencil (Medium Brown for me) or MAC Eye Brows pencils
MAC #208 brush (angled brush)
Folie eye shadow (may not work for you--remember to use a color a little lighter than your brow color)
Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara (awesome cheap brow gel)
*MAC and other brands also make colored brow gels to save a few steps. Be careful with these-- A mascara wand is not the most precise tool so they can look quite scary if they smear on the skin outside the brow shape. Also, if you get them too light, they look crusty on your brows... ew. If you find a shade in the exact color of your brows, they can look harsh. So understand that there may not be a perfect shade for you in those products. There isn't for me! Or at least I haven't found one yet.
Happy grooming!

It is possible to set tempo, reverb, and chorus effects.
Midi Converter for Mac is a small and simple utility designed mostly for musicians who compose music using their computer. However, it can be very useful for anyone who wants to convert MIDI music files to MP3 or other popular formats. It is around 10 times faster than the other competing programs, because it converts the files directly rather than having to record them first. The program is very easy to use, and a trial version is available. It also allows you to embed a player, and has a number of other features. It does not rely on your sound card with regards to the quality of the final output, so you can expect high and consistent quality, regardless of what sort of computer you are going to use it on.
The Ultimate Live Music Audio Converter is an audio conversion tool specifically designed around the file formats used for live music trading. It currently supports conversion of SHN, FLAC, and WAV files to MP3 or Ogg.

You can record and playback a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks. The program supports simultaneous recording from multiple 16-bit and 24-bit soundcards, and real-time audio effects can be applied non-destructively to each track. Built-in effects include Reverb, Multiband Compression, Chorus, Delay, Pitch Shift, Graphic and Parametric EQ, and spectrum analyzer. The program can use third party VST plug-ins to process audio signals in real-time. Effects can also be used to process the recorded signal in real-time. MIDI tracks can be imported end exported to regular MIDI files, and edited using the built in piano-roll based MIDI editing window. The program supports VSTi instrument plug-ins for sample accurate software MIDI playback. Volume and pan evolution can be programmed by drawing on the timeline window.

Five hundred SEPTA employees and City Year corps members distributed educational materials and answered safety questions at more than 160 SEPTA rail, trolley and bus stations, loops and transportation centers throughout SEPTA's five-county service area. Safety messages were also displayed on SEPTA vehicles and stations.
"You wouldn't walk down the middle of the highway, why would you walk along the tracks? The tracks are the highway for our trains," said SEPTA General Manager Joseph Casey.
Rail fatalities, accidental and intentional, are a national problem. Through the first four months of 2013, there have been eight deaths involving SEPTA's Regional Rail and Broad Street lines. This puts SEPTA on a pace this year that could exceed the 12 deaths on all modes in 2012.
"The majority of transit-related incidents are preventable," said SEPTA System Safety Director Scott Sauer. "A moving train can't steer out of the way of an object or person on the tracks and it takes more effort and time to slow or stop a train. By crossing the tracks instead of using a dedicated overpass or underpass to get to the other side of station, people are putting themselves in imminent and unnecessary danger."
SEPTA is committed to providing a safe travel environment for its customers, but also to ensure that all members of the public understand how to "make the safe choice" when riding on or walking near mass transit vehicles and facilities.
"You can never be too rushed to be cautious," said Sauer. "Just taking a few seconds to check your surroundings, staying behind yellow lines on platforms and not running to catch a train or bus can be the difference between life and death."
"Not only do we want to reach our customers at our stations and transportation centers with our Safety Awareness Day messages, we want them to share the educational materials and tips with their families, friends and neighbors," said Casey. "We need the community to be our partners to help us spread the word about safety."
The event is an extension of SEPTA System Safety's "Safety Blitz" education program where at least once a month safety officers visit railroad, rail transit and bus stations across SEPTA, reviewing regulations and precautions with passengers. SEPTA's System Safety Department also makes Operation Lifesaver rail safety presentations to students from kindergarten through high school and to a wide variety of audiences.

Eden Foods began in Ann Arbor in the late 1960s with friends sourcing natural food. Youth motivated by a study of a worldwide phenomenon centered upon macrobiotics: eating a diet of whole grain and seasonal local plant foods that are not nutrient depleted and without toxic chemical adulteration.
Natural foods were simply not available at the time, so they started the Eden food co-op to bring them in. Their initial $200 orders to Erewhon in Boston and Chico-san in California were well received and caused a local stir. This lead to co-op members traveling rural roads, knocking on doors looking for farmers to grow food using organic methods.
The Eden co-op grew into a natural food store offering whole grains, beans, soyfoods, sea vegetables, miso, cereals, vegetable oils, seed and nut butters, and the like. It expanded adding a cafeteria, bakery, and books, and became known as the Eden Deli. It was one of very few places in the U.S.A. where you could get natural, organic, macrobiotic food.
Folks came from near and far. Health food stores called asking to get the foods we were carrying. An Eden brand began to take shape.
In 1972 Eden opened its first warehouse and established relations with artisan Japanese traditional food makers. Imports of sea vegetables, teas, miso, shoyu, umeboshi plums, kuzu root starch, rice vinegar, rice bran pickles, mirin, etc. followed, and this solidified Eden as an important natural food source for the United States and Canada.
Eden is the oldest natural and organic food company in North America and the largest independent manufacturer of dry grocery organic foods. We are deeply rooted in Michigan about twenty miles southwest of Ann Arbor. It is here we manage grower relations, manufacturing, trucking, quality control, customer and retailer services, marketing, import/export, accounting, databases and websites.
Over 95% of Eden foods are sold in natural food stores, co-ops, and supermarkets via traditional natural and grocery distribution channels. Web site, employee, and wholesale sales make up the remainder.
All Eden food moves through one of our warehouses in either southeast Michigan or central California.
In 2008 Eden completed a 70,000 ft2 Michigan warehouse addition. Design, construction, and operation reflect our commitment to sustainable growth and follow LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) principles. Our original builder's son utilized 80% recycled steel forged in the area. It uses energy efficient lights and insulation, preserves native flora, and is good-neighbor landscaped for our very close residential neighbors. This warehouse meets a gold LEED certification level, the second highest possible rating.
Eden tracks the environmental impact of its food upstream with suppliers, through company operations, and downstream monitoring all its social impacts. Energy consumption and waste are tracked using custom in-house tools.
In 2009 Eden Foods was selected as the best food company in the world, and the third best company overall by The Better World Shopping Guide. They acknowledged Eden's outstanding record in social and environmental responsibility. The company earned A+ and A ratings in ten food categories. This is further explained at edenfoods.com/betterworld
Introduced in 2011 is an Eden Recipes iPhone® App with 1,000+ Eden created and repeatedly tested recipes. Browse it by course, cuisine, diet considerations, ingredients, or keyword. It includes nutritional information for each recipe. Create a favorites list, or email them to friends. It's free at edenfoods.com/app
Eden buys all food from, and pays farms directly getting more cash to them. Most is grown a few miles to a few hundred miles from home base. In the Midwest we source wild rice, beans, spelt, soybeans, cabbage, apples, tart cherries, strawberries, pastry wheat, and tomatoes. Other North American family farm organic food includes grains from the Midwest and Western high plains; almonds, pistachios, and brown rice are from California; flax and mustard seed are from Saskatchewan; dulse is from New Brunswick. too many to list here.
Cooking and packaging centers around home too. Eden prepares 70% of its items at headquarters: fresh milled whole grain flours, gomasio sesame salts, unrefined vegetable oils, vinegars, soy sauces, roasted almonds and seeds, packaged snacks, whole grains, sea salt, popcorn and other grain. EDENSOY is made twelve miles east at an affiliate company we founded to bring its manufacture from Japan to Michigan. Eden Organic Pasta Company is in Detroit. Meridian Foods cannery for organic beans, refried beans, rice and beans, and chilies is in east-central Indiana. Eden organic udon and soba noodles are made at Sobaya Company in Montréal, PQ.
Some Eden food comes from afar: extra virgin olive oil from Spain, high altitude white and red quinoa from the Andes mountains, chamomile from Egypt, and green tea and traditional healthy food from Japan. The soybeans in our miso and soy sauces are non-GMO, U.S.A. Midwestern organic.

Interactive Molecular Orbitals
William F. Coleman
The majority of Introductory Chemistry texts provide students with an adequate introduction to the visual aspects of the molecular orbital model for homonuclear diatomic molecules. The treatment of heteronuclear diatomic and polyatomic molecules is less uniform. Heteronuclear diatomics, when mentioned, are invariably treated as being derived from homonuclear diatomics. While the atomic orbital energy level differences in heteronuclear diatomics is sometimes pictured, the consequences of those differences for the resultant molecular orbitals are rarely discussed. The discussion of polyatomic molecular orbitals in these texts is limited to showing that parallel p-orbitals produce delocalized pi molecular orbitals. The molecules typically mentioned in this context are benzene, nitrate ion and carbonate ion. However, It is rarely pointed out that the six p-orbitals in benzene would form 6 pi molecular orbitals, and that only one of these orbitals would look like the picture in the text.These interactive modules are designed to clarify this subject.

Interactive Molecular Orbital Diagrams
William F. Coleman
Here is an application for constructing the molecular orbital electron configurations of heteronuclear diatomic molecules. Energy level diagrams are given for the two different cases encountered in heteronuclear diatomics of the first short period (Li2 - Ne2). This is a useful tool for having students explore questions of bond order, magnetic properties and numbers of unpaired electrons.

Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecular Orbital Formation
William F. Coleman
Here is a set of movies that demonstrates heteronuclear diatomic molecular orbital formation. The orbitals start at a distance where there is little or no interatomic interaction and move to the appropriate bond distance. Orbital phase is shown by the different colors.

Restricted Hartree-Fock SCF Calculations Using Microsoft Excel
Mark A. Freitag, Cortney A. Boots, Taylor R. Page
Courses in computational chemistry are increasingly common at the undergraduate level. Excellent user-friendly programs, which make the execution of ab initio calculations quite simple, are available. However, there is a danger that the underlying SCF procedure (usually coupled with contracted Gaussian atomic orbital basis sets) can become a ?black box? for the student. This Microsoft Excel spreadsheet contains all the essential elements of far more complicated ab initio calculations, but on the simplest possible molecular system.

infrastructure investment in his State of the Union speech."
Melaniphy continued in a prepared statement, saying, "President Obama's call to undertake fix-it first projects for aging infrastructure, as well as invest in high-speed rail, underscores the critical importance of transportation. Clearly, transportation is the backbone of a thriving economy that is essential to ensuring that the United States is globally competitive.
"President Obama's emphasis on transportation infrastructure reminds us of the past infrastructure projects that made America great from New York City's Grand Central Terminal that is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, to the Transcontinental Railroad that was started under President Lincoln. This generation of Americans must take up the challenge to make sure that America continues to be the land of economic opportunity. Now is the time to look to the future, to ensure that America maintains its global competitiveness and its position as the country of economic opportunity.
"Public transportation has an important role to play in promoting a prosperous and growing economy. The public transportation industry is a $57-billion industry with nearly 400,000 employees. For every $1 billion invested in public transportation, 36,000 jobs are created and supported, not just at public transit systems, but also in businesses in the public transit supply sector. Additionally, not only does investment in public transportation create and support American jobs, it also provides access to jobs. Nearly 60 percent of the trips taken on public transportation are taken for work commutes.
"Additionally, President Obama also spoke of the need for the United States to become energy independent. Public transportation also helps in this endeavor as every year, U.S. public transportation saves 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline."
Melaniphy closed by saying APTA's 1,5000 members stand ready to work with the administration and Congress to increase economic opportunity and to help the nation's economy recover through transportation infrastructure investment.

In 1990, Alec meets the Stza (pronounced "Stizza") at their N.Y.C. public high school. They shared not only a love for punk and ska music, but also an intense hatred of white people and their pathetic milk-drinking, Gap-wearing, R.E.M. listening, 90210 watching culture along with a healthy disdain for authority and the wicked atrocities perpetrated by the U.S. government. Alec played bass and the Stza played guitar and sang, so they decided to join-up and play some music together. Eventually they got a drummer and a female singer who also shared their active political interests and started the punk/ska band No Commercial Value. After a couple of years of primarily playing at ABC No Rio and local squats, Alec ditched out to start the 3rd wave ska crowd-pleasers Agent 99 with ex-Slacker Dunia Best, Jay Nugent (Stubborn All-Stars/Ari Up Slits) and the wicked-best Armenian drummer ever, Ara Babajian.
In the meantime, without a bassist, the Stza, known as Sturgeon at the time, enlisted Sascha Scatter, the bi-curious/bi-polar friend of No Commercial Value's drummer. Of course the next logical step was to kick said drummer out of the band as the additional singer left for the west coast. Sea monkey drummer and local Taco purveyor John Dolan was enlisted and the name Choking Victim was taken from the health department sign that loomed menacingly over John at his job. Three-months and two shows later, John literally hands his drum-sticks to a squatter named Skwert during a Choking Victim practice in Popeye's room at C-squat. A year later, Sascha quits the group after recording the ten songs that would comprise the Crack Rock Steady EP and demo.
At roughly the same time, Alec fucks-up big-time as an accomplice to some scandalous behavior that enrages most of the N.Y. ska scene and Agent 99 breaks-up as a result. So being unloved, dirty, despicable squatters, Choking Victim take Alec under their filthy wing to record and release the Squatter's Paradise 7". After that, Alec is kicked out and brought on is fellow C-squatter Pezent Shayne, who's just learning bass, so after a couple of mediocre shows Shayne is replaced with Alec, who once again shows Choking Victim that his attentions are not with the band, but in the gutter (literally) with the sweet, sweet death our government agencies enable the importation of. He is replaced with the down, but not out, Shayne, whom has become a much more finely tuned and practiced bass machine. Soon the song "Infested" from the Squatter's Paradise 7" is contributed to the first Give Em the Boot comp, and after an overwhelming public response to the track, Tim Armstrong offers Choking Victim a spot on the Hellcat roster. With no other offers on the horizon, and being broke-ass homeless/squatting panhandling bums, Choking Victim realized that this would probably be the only opportunity to ever make a full- length record.
At this point Ezra is aboard as a second guitar player. And finally after years of anticipation, thousands of practices and hundreds of shows, on the very first day of recording- Choking Victim break-up, but not before laying down all the tracks that would become the break-through, smash hit "No Gods/No Managers."
A two-year hiatus ensues involving royalty checks, thousands of 40's of malt liquor and so much crack that on some days there would be a large quantity leftover from the previous evening. That is to say, more crack than you can shake a tooth at (yes, a rotted tooth that fell out of your mouth). So after a life saving move from San Francisco's Tenderloin gutter to the numbing serenity of NW Montana with a borrowed guitar, a four-track recorder & an insomniatic head full of songs, new & old, the singin', strummin' Stza, hungry like the wolf, went on the hunt for a new band. Soon landing Brad Logan on guitar (F-Minus), Alec on bass (straight outta' rehab) A.W.O.L. on drums (Suicidal Tendencies/Beastie Boys) and Mike T. on production (No Gods, Choking Victim) several tracks were recorded including those comprising the "Rock the 40oz" 7" (Bankshot Records) and the track "Crack City Rockers" soon contributed to the Give Em the Boot II compilation.
And again the public demanded more, so once again Tim A. and Mr. Brett dug through their pockets and pooled together whatever balled-up cash and spare-change they could find and offered LEFTOVER CRACK the opportunity to join the Hellcat family. In April 2000, the Stza solidified the LEFTOVER CRACK line-up with Alec on bass and Ara (now with the Slackers) on drums. In May 2000 they started recording their first full-length.
Tuesday, September 11th 2001: the record, "Mediocre Generica," is finally released world-wide and with a giant upside-down American flag in tow, the LEFTOVER CRACK embark on three years of extensive touring of the U.S., U.K., Canada and Europe.
In February of 2003 LEFTOVER CRACK start recording the songs they have been developing for the past three years with Chicago's super-genius, STEVE ALBINI. And over the following winter LEFTOVER CRACK finish two more songs along with some touch-ups (and guest vocals by Anti-Flag and The World/Inferno Friendship Society) to the 12 ALBINI tunes with New Jersey native Jesie Canon. With two weeks of production left, LEFTOVER CRACK is approached by JELLO BIAFRA about signing to Alternative Tentacles, and after a two hour discussion about politics and censorship, the decision is made with the band feeling like they have an organization in their corner that truly believes in the inalienable right to freedom of speech and art. We hope you enjoy Fuck World Trade, as it was a seemingly endless struggle to put together and release.

Three transportation design students at Lawrence Technological University are scholarship winners in the fourth annual Steel Wheel Design competition sponsored by the Steel Market Development Institute's (SMDI) Wheels Task Force and Michelin. SMDI is a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI).
The competition held on March 8 at LTU awarded scholarships for unique designs that communicate the "lightweighting" and styling benefits of steel wheels.
"This years' student designers took steel to a new level, finding ways of building on the performance advantages of steel in a creative and imaginative way," said Ron Krupitzer, vice president/automotive market for SMDI. "All the competitors did a wonderful job presenting and showcasing how steel can offer outstanding styling features, while offering the complete package of structural efficiency, safety, sustainability, and affordability."
Students designed wheels that celebrate steel and communicate lightweighting and styling benefits for this year's competition theme, "Hollywood Steel: A science fiction theme that is edgy, with an out-of-this-world feeling."
Greg VanderVoord of Clarkson won the $1,500 first-place scholarship with his wheel design for an armored vehicle, Terradyne Gurkha. VanderVoord's wheel features shape memory technology, which allows metal to deflect from its original form and quickly return back when heat is applied. The "tweel" concept helps minimize the risk of getting a flat tire by applying a flexible steel structure in place of rubber, creating a strong and uniquely styled wheel.
Peter Corey of San Antonio, Texas, won the $1,000 second-place scholarship with his wheel design for electric and hybrid vehicles, with the Tesla Motors Model L in mind. He turns the wheel into a musical instrument with a mellow resonating sound that changes with the speed of the vehicle. The music would help pedestrians hear the electric vehicle, which typically produces less sound than vehicles with internal combustion engines. The resonating steel has a warm sound that is unobtainable with other metals, and advanced steel technologies allow for a thin rim that fits well with the brake and rotor.
Michael Levich of Farmington Hills won the $500 third-place scholarship with his wheel design for a Ford Police Interceptor Sedan 3.5L EcoBoost V6, featuring parallel plate hydroforming to reduce thinning of material as would occur in a deep drawn stamping. The design, which uses two ultra-thin steel sheets that create a 3D shape, allows for two steel types and thicknesses: a thicker, more rigid steel to protect against lateral wear and tear; and a thinner layer for optimum hydroform profile, using less pressure and lower tooling costs.
The renderings and steel wheel features were judged by a panel of steel and automotive designers and engineers, and wheel manufacturers on the following criteria: material celebration; changing customer perception by communicating environmental benefits and performance; creativity and feasibility through a unique and innovative design that maintains functionality; and an executed design concept that complements the vehicle's aesthetics.
AISI serves as the voice of the North American steel industry in the public policy arena and advances the case for steel in the marketplace as the preferred material of choice. AISI also plays a lead role in the development and application of new steels and steelmaking technology. AISI is comprised of 25 member companies, including integrated and electric furnace steelmakers, and 125 associate members who are suppliers to or customers of the steel industry. AISI's member companies represent over three quarters of both U.S. and North American steel capacity.
SMDI grows and maintains the use of steel through strategies that promote cost-effective solutions in the automotive, construction, and container markets, as well as for new growth opportunities in emerging steel markets.

Gaga is cool, but 30 Seconds to Mars gave this song so much more power. Happened to be listening to it when I passed by this thread.
Mickey Hart from his 'Planet Drum' collection.
Highly recommended for spiritual teleportation.
Um...is their ALREADY a thread for this in the Entertainment section of this forum?
I'm listening to a 4 hour playlist that I have downloaded to my a comp as a single file so therefore it's a 4 hour long song. Here's the link to it in case anyone's interested. It's like a top 40 club mix. Sounds like a playlist you'd hear at a gay club, so if you're into that kinda music, I suggest you take a listen. I think there are over 60 songs featured in the playlist, so if you don't like the first song or two, just wait and listen to the rest. Or if you want I can also upload the track list if you are interested lol.
There's no music playing, but for some reason, my inner iPod keeps playing "Control" by MuteMath...
"There is no better loss than to lose myself in you..."
i'm listening to my other half snorin to beat the band.....

Hi, all.
Marc Almond and the Mambas featuring Foetus:
Followed, by the time I found and posted the above, by
Young Love (last time I buy a whole album just because the singer is hot and the video gave me wood).
I just finished transferring a vinyl LP onto my hard drive, so right now, I'm not hearing anything.
But for some reason, this song is playing in my head. And no - it's not at all related to the LP.
Gawd, I just made the mistake of pulling up a Barney Youtube video... Now it's stuck in my head.
Regrets are for people who stop on the ground.
I'm heading for the stars.
Not right now, but an hour ago I was listening to a concert that was recorded this afternoon at the Perth Concert Hall with the Berlin Philharmonic. They've just begun their tour of Australia and this was their first concert. ABC Classic FM is also playing a series of interviews with some of the musicians - very interesting!
Turn it up!!!!
Listening to that playlist I posted before. The song write now is a remix of...
A sort of "Oldie but goodie".
U2's "Zoo Station".
I think "Achtung, Baby" is such an AMAZING album, from both a song-writing and production value perspective. It's my favorite U2 album by far....
And the lyrics: "Time is a train, makes the future the past. Leaves you standing at the station....your face pressed up against the glass..."
Very.... Zen.
Crank it:
Well, I was watching Elizabethtown and found myself paying extra attention to the sound-track of the film. What a great collection of music.
Over the last few days, I also watched Marie-Antoinette - also a great sound-track!
Last Night by the Strokes
I think that's the coolest name for a band since Tool and Nine Inch Nails
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOypSnKFHrE"]they don't understand and I don't understand[/ame]
okay bye!
Everything in the retro folder. I may have to DJ with it soon, and I'd like to know what might work...

Got my favorite Merle pulled up right now...it helps me when I'm feeling down.

Once upon a time, the role of the teacher in the classroom conjured up images and ideas of blackboards, rulers, chalk, and pencils. But now, technology is becoming more and more integrated into modern school systems—not just as an added bonus, but as a necessity to how students learn and how teachers teach. While at one point in time, adopting technology into the classroom may have been perceived as stressful and forced for teachers and students alike, as it stands now, students aren't just excited about using technology, teachers are excited and highly capable of utilizing its presence in the classroom.

A research group lead by Professor Tachi at Keio University in Japan is currently working on one of the first incarnations of an avatar that incorporates some pretty cool virtual robotics technology. By slipping on a pair of virtual reality gloves and a helmet, you would be able to control and see the world through your avatar's eyes. The concept behind this virtual robotics technology is really called Telexistence, and it allows us to control a real avatar robot.

A step up from remote controlled robots doing dangerous jobs, saving potential lives. This could allow for more dextrous and accurate controls without the remote-control middleman and instead with direct input.
If these were to make it into society then it could vastly change the structure of things, with work being done without even leaving the home.
Hayden Theuerkauf's curator insight, March 21, 2013 9:56 PM
This particular website gives information on the creation of avatar/robots that humans will be able to control. This will change the future, technology will allow humans to create there own avatar in the form of a robot, allowing humans to stay home whilst there avatar/robot goes out to do there daily needs or to even do there jobs at a single touch of a button, this technology will vastly change how the world works and runs.
cassian bulger's curator insight, March 22, 2013 5:38 AM
Technology such as this which provides an avatar that can be operated remotely has infinite potential to make the lives of countless people easyer such robots provide an "out of body" experience and when perfected can enable working remotly and remotly carrying out daily chores. With strides like this technology is taking remarkable strides into how we are shaping our future.

Arkeia Network Backup is designed for organizations that require fast, easy-to-use, and affordable data protection. It backs up critical data to disk, tape, and cloud storage. Arkeia protects all major virtual platforms including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer, and more than 200 physical platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Netware, most UNIX flavors, and BSDs. The company's source-side Progressive Deduplication technology helps users realize better performance at a lower cost by reducing data volumes. Arkeia's deduplication is crucial to accelerating replication of on-premise backups to private or public clouds.
Traffic Squeezer is a Linux kernel based WAN network traffic accelerator from Doublefish Solutions. It uses methods such as traffic compression, traffic PDU coalescing, protocol specific acceleration (such as TCP acceleration mechanisms), and quality of service. Traffic Squeezer also contains custom L7filters (application protocol filters), DPI (Deep Packet Engines) and so on to control and administrate your traffic. With Traffic Squeezer, you can optimize MPLS,ISDN, leased links, Satellite Networks, and Marine Internet, and even build your own custom WAN Appliance with Traffic Squeezer. A GUI is now supported via Doublefish Solution Aquarium. Aquarium is a Web-GUI that also supports Traffic Squeezer, Squid, and other open source solutions.
RemoteBox is a graphical tool which lets you administer guests or virtual machines running under VirtualBox on a remote server or even your local machine if desired. You may, for example, have a root server on the Internet, a server at home, or a server at work running VirtualBox but want to have the convenience of managing the guests easily from your local machine. The virtual machines run in headless mode, which means you don't need an active graphical display on the server but you can still connect and view the displays of the guests. The goal of RemoteBox is to provide a GUI that should be familiar to VirtualBox users while allowing them to administer a remote installation of VirtualBox. It does this via the VirtualBox API and SOAP interface, which are exposed when running the VirtualBox Web service. You can also use RemoteBox simply as an alternative interface for managing VirtualBox on your local machine.
Wiremaps is an application that gathers layer 2 wiring information on a network using protocols like LLDP, EDP, CDP, and SONMP. It also gathers information from the FDB (MAC-port table on switches), the ARP table (MAC-IP table), and some miscellaneous information like interface names.
lldpd is an implementation of IEEE 802.1ab that provides LLDP sending and reception, It supports VLANs and includes an SNMP subagent that can interface to an SNMP agent through the AgentX protocol. LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as Extreme's EDP (Extreme Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol). The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices. The daemon is also able to deal with CDP, FDP, SONMP, and EDP protocols. It also handles the LLDP-MED extension.
sslsweep tests TCP services for the presence of SSL and reports things about the services found, such as the certificate's CN, the certificate's expiration timestamp, what kinds of ciphers the SSL service supports, and what versions of SSL the service supports. It can be used for security testing as well as ongoing monitoring of services. It can produce output in human readable text, HTML, and CSV. It can also run as a Nagios plugin. It can accept input on the command line or on standard input (one host:port pair per line). It can also accept Nmap scan output (in the greppable format) as input, and it will test all open TCP ports found by the Nmap scan.
Fing is a command line tool for network and service discovery. It provides you a complete view of any network in a very short time. Its smart discovery automatically detects the network type and uses the best technique to scan it. The best results are achieved on Ethernet networks (including Wireless ones), where Fing is able to detect all network hosts, firewalled ones included. The service discovery feature quickly detects active TCP services on a target host or network. Fing is based on Look@LAN.
Inject is program which can generate, inject and withdraw BGP routes, with a primary focus on network testing. It supports route and peer flapping, generation of random routes with (pseudo) random BGP attributes via a Cisco like CLI. Other features include a configuration file based on XML, test cases, help functions, and displaying of peer and route information.

Alumni Association Initiatives
Calendar of Events
The young men at St Lawrence need your contributions. Your generosity makes it possible for this and future generations to experience the blessings that come with living on the Hill. Be assured that all the Sons of Calvary are remembered on a regular basis in the prayers of the seminarians. To donate on-line, please click here.
I Am A Son Of Calvary
What does it mean to belong, to be a member? Do you need a pin, a card, a trinket or some kind of recognition? How does any son of Calvary acknowledge, communicate and celebrate a commitment to his alma mater?
What is the I Am A Son of Calvary Legacy Commitment?
It is well known that those who have received a St. Lawrence education, find it difficult to put a monetary value on the impact this exceptional educational and spiritual formation has had on them. Many acknowledge that it prepared them to function as an educated leader in a vast and rapidly changing society. Others recognize the investment the Capuchins and benefactors have made in them. Having received a valued education, at a fraction of the cost of comparable educational institutions, how does each son of Calvary continue his commitment to St. Lawrence?
The newly designed I am a Son of Calvary Legacy Commitment is a means to that end. By eliminating the traditional membership dues model, we take this opportunity to offer each alumnus an occasion to support St. Lawrence, its capital initiatives, and the functioning of the Alumni Association. In other words by donating to one, you donate to the other, saving membership tracking and renewal drives, mailing and printing costs, and inclusion/exclusion practices.
Here's how it works. Twenty-five percent of your donation toward the biennial capital initiatives is directed to the operating expenses of the association.

Men Who Inspire
Priest | Brother | Teacher | Friend | Husband
To Our St. Lawrence Seminary High School Family:
While the SLS Spirit is difficult to put into words, no one who has climbed the Hill has failed to detect its presence. It has been said that the Calvary spirit is a strong spiritual force, rooted in poverty and simplicity - a force by which St. Lawrence Seminary has survived and flourished for 150 years.
The spirit flowed from St. Francis to the Capuchins and in the middle of the 19th century carried forward to American by Fathers Francis Haas and Bonaventure Frey. It exists today in the relationship between faculty and student body, their families, the alumni, donors, benefactors and friends - the family spirit that is the pride of St. Lawrence.
Join us in celebrating the men in our lives who live the Calvary Spirit. Commemorate a man in your life with a dedication page in our one-of-a-kind hardcover Men Who Inspire photo journal book. Whether surprising him with this unique gift or telling him ahead of time about this tribute, he will treasure this once in a life time gift forever. The recipient need not be an alumnus of St. Lawrence, but one who lives the charism of St. Francis by:

Laidback, peppy and colorful, this is perhaps the best way to define Tommy Hilfiger�one of the leading, American designer lifestyle brands. The label was created during the middle of 1980s. This was a period of flux in the fashion industry. The US itself was struggling to define what truly constitutes up market, premium fashion. Tommy Hilfiger brought alive the true American style with a modern twist. The emphasis was on keeping its range of lifestyle solutions trendy and adapting to changing consumer mindsets.
Since its inception, the brand has consistently delivered premium styling and exceptional value to its patrons worldwide. Now, positioned as a holistic lifestyle brand, its collection includes special collections such as Hilfiger Denim. The primary point of engagement are denims, sportswear, fragrances, watches, home furnishings, footwear and eyewear. Even today, the founder, Tommy Hilfiger is the principal designer. He has witnessed fashion evolve over the decades and ensures that his brand always has something exclusive on offer, something that retains the essence American culture.
Now a globally recognized lifestyle label, Tommy Hilfiger is present in nearly 90 countries. There is another interesting bit about the brand�it never positioned itself as a symbol of luxury or opulence. The emphasis was always on the American way of doing things, ensuring that ready-to-wear or accessories were had a definite aspirational dynamic about it. However, the approach quickly yielded returns and Tommy Hilfiger gained the recognition of being a luxury lifestyle brand that was more approachable and affordable than some of its European counterparts.
A big reason why Tommy Hilfiger continues to be relevant in the premium lifestyle space is its ability to correctly understand the consumer mindset. Even today, the high-traffic customer-connection channels provide valuable insight about changing preferences. While some brands overspend on promotional glitzes, Tommy Hilfiger takes a more systematic approach, ensuring its collection is curated to satisfy a contemporary buyer�s requirements.
Despite being branded as a luxury wear specialist, Tommy Hilfiger�s range of ready-to-wear apparels is not restricted to runways or elite fashion circles. The brand thrives on more visibility, easier accessibility and keeping the pricing more enticing.
For folks who like their everyday schedules with a serving of luxury, Tommy Hilfiger presents a more accessible choice. The same applies to its range of eyewear that is chic, uber-cool and still very timeless. Expect simplistic and elegant frames without over-the-top designs.
We strive to bring you the bestsellers and recent releases along with the comprehensive range from Tommy Hilfiger, all of them categorized systematically for an easy online shopping experience...

Nearly 25 million workers are either terribly underemployed or completely without jobs. Nearly 4 million jobs were lost in the aftermath of the housing bubble crash. Another several million jobs were lost to lower-wage nations over the past couple of decades.
Nearly 25 million workers are either terribly underemployed or completely without jobs. Nearly 4 million jobs were lost in the aftermath of the housing bubble crash. Another several million jobs were lost to lower-wage nations over the past couple of decades.
Since the recession began, our private sector has struggled to add new jobs — but has barely kept up with population expansion. We end up today with the smallest percentage of work-age Americans in the workforce since the early '80s.
I wish we could look forward to some realistic good news regarding employment in our nation. We hear many business leaders and politicians telling us we have always come back from recessions and we'll do it again. What if they're wrong? Surely neither group has ever lied to us before?
We watched in horror in 2004 when the tsunami came crashing ashore in Thailand. The damage it caused was incredible. However, it wasn't long before the damage was repaired and tourists were once again back to enjoy that paradise.
The job-killing tsunami coming toward America will be much more destructive as it relentlessly unfolds at a steadily increasing pace. I am referring to the expected massive replacement of human labor by automation, which is now in it's infancy but is projected to expand at rates our leaders can't seem to understand and plan for.
Most companies naturally pursue cost-cutting in order to boost profitability and maintain competitiveness. One of the costliest items — human labor — is always on the carving block and is why millions of jobs left our shores. Experts say the explosive expansion of automation caused by robotics and software will replace human labor in even greater numbers in the future.
A segment shown on CBS' "60 Minutes" (www.60minutes.com) on Jan. 13 provided the chilling details. It was hosted by Steve Kroft, and featured interviews with two MIT professors and other robotics experts. The professors shared their views of the changing future of employment in America, and throughout the world, as the forces of robotics and software increasingly and relentlessly replace human workers.
One professor said the U.S. economy has mostly recovered from the bursting housing bubble by every measure — except for new job creation. He said historically new technology has always destroyed old jobs while simultaneously creating new ones, but he predicts future automation will replace so much human labor that replacement jobs won't be able to keep pace.
Anyone middle-aged or older can easily see the many different jobs now replaced by technology. Bank tellers replaced by ATMs, airport ticket counter clerks by automated kiosks, and jobs formerly held by receptionists, telephone operators and secretaries by voice-recognition software.
Robots in hospitals are delivering mail, picking up soiled laundry, filling and delivering drug orders, even helping surgeons perform complicated surgeries. Hospital administrators hasten to add that these robots are only supplemental to their staffs, not to replace them. Hmm ... sounds like what most chain grocers tell their checkout clerks as they install self-checkout systems!
The robotic application that most impressed these experts is happening in huge distribution centers now operating with very little human labor, instead relying on robots. One robot-maker said his machine would replace 1� humans. Another said his simple machine can be quickly programmed to perform repetitive tasks formerly done by humans, but at a cost of only $3.40 per hour.
Kroft asked if this low cost could bring work back from China. The answer was yes. However, while the work might come back, the resulting jobs here would be largely filled by robots.
The program showed supercomputers now self-improving the automation processes. In other words, computers are teaching themselves how to be more efficient — and replace even more human labor!
One professor said we are only at the very earliest stages of this new era in which machines/software will do almost all work now being done by humans. In fact, he said, "We haven't seen anything yet." When Kroft asked him the implication for future human jobs, his answer: "That's the $64,000 question."
America may well continue to have a healthy economy in terms of every financial measure. However, if this growth is driven increasingly by automation, where will jobs come from? How will average citizens earn money needed to buy goods?
Should the government intervene? Shall we just trust the markets to decide? What will the growing numbers of jobless say? Will they calmly accept others telling them to just suck it up and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, especially when boots are increasingly worn by robots? How will our nation, already facing a mountain of debt, find the means to provide the social programs needed?
This coming tsunami of automation-caused job losses will likely make the housing bubble aftermath seem like the good old days.
Meanwhile, our leaders prepare for the next round of debt battles. We know how it will turn out — because we could write the script. Their failure to unite in making job creation their top priority is unforgivable. As I finished writing the last sentence, a foreboding chill ran through me — because it's never going to happen!
These are my opinions. What do you think?
