Designing without 3D -CAD? That was yesterday. The calculation and simulation of computer models are now standard for even the smallest engineering firms. Meanwhile, the next stage of development has begun. Now the physical properties of various materials, the reaction of a module to certain influences, as well as the functioning of the entire system are also virtually modeled.

Today, Race Imboden, 2011 graduate of The Dwight School, was officially named to the United States Olympic Team by the US Fencing Association. After the fourth World Cup event, he mathematically qualified for the Olympics in Men’s Foil based on his high team rankings. Mr. Imboden is currently #6 in the FIE (Fédération Internationale d’Escrime) World Senior Rankings, #2 in the USA Fencing Division I (Senior), and #2 in the USA Fencing Under 19 Division (Junior).
“I couldn’t be more excited and honored to be competing as a member of Team USA, especially in London because my mother’s home country is England. For nine years, I have been working toward this goal with the amazing support and sacrifice of my parents to whom I’m eternally grateful. I’m also grateful to The Dwight School, which helped me to achieve my dream of competing in the Olympics by allowing me the time and flexibility to train, travel the world, and compete while I was a student,” said Mr. Imboden.

Like most residents of Joplin, Tara Johnston’s mind is frozen in time when she thinks back to that late Sunday afternoon on May 22, 2011 – the day a catastrophic tornado destroyed thousands of homes, including her house on S. Jackson Ave.
While her daughter and the rest of her family survived the tornado, she was faced with the daunting task of rebuilding her home – made even tougher because she had no insurance. Johnston told her story from the front porch of that very home today at a press conference. The house, which is just weeks away from being completely rebuilt, is the result of many helping hands coming together to get one more displaced family back into their home.

Energy efficiency is at the heart of Europe’s growth and transition to a resource efficient economy. The European Union aims to save 20% of its primary energy consumption by 2020 (compared to what has been forecast). Everyone’s contribution is crucial in meeting this goal. By better insulating buildings we can reduce energy consumption by 28% by 2020. By choosing modern energy-efficient refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers etc. we can use significantly less energy than with older appliances. By buying lighter vehicles or using low fuel consumption tyres we can double the fuel efficiency of an average car.
This video clip provides an overview of the European Union’s energy efficiency objectives and shows how each of us can make the difference, be it in our professional or private life. This video clip was disseminated in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria and United Kingdom.

Wolfram P. Kastner und Martin Krenn,
Schwere Sachbeschädigung – oder notwendige Ergänzung eines gefälschten Zitats?
Die Republik Österreich, Landesgericht Salzburg, hat gegen den Künstler Wolfram P. Kastner, der zusammen mit Martin Krenn eine Klasse an der Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst 2001 leitete, ein Strafverfahren wegen „schwerer Sachbeschädigung“ eingeleitet und ein deutsches Amtsgericht um Amtshilfe und „Abhörung“ ersucht.
Was ist der Grund?
Der Begründer des Zionismus, Dr. Theodor Herzl, der sein Rechtsreferendariat am Salzburger Landesgericht ableistete, schrieb in sein Tagebuch: „In Salzburg brachte ich einige der glücklichsten Stunden meines Lebens zu. Ich wäre auch gerne in dieser schönen Stadt geblieben, aber als Jude wäre ich nie zur Stellung eines Richters befördert worden.“
Die Stadt Salzburg brachte im Jahr 2001 dort eine Marmortafel mit dem sinnentstellend verkürzten Zitat an: „In Salzburg brachte ich einige der glücklichsten Stunden meines Lebens zu.“
Am 29. August 2001 nahmen Wolfram P. Kastner und Martin Krenn mit den Studierenden in aller Öffentlichkeit eine handschriftliche Vervollständigung des Zitats vor. Sie sahen darin eine „Rückgabe der unterschlagenen Worte“, in der Hoffnung, daß dies die Verantwortlichen dazu bewegen könnte, ihren Fehler zu erkennen und zu verbessern.
Martin Krenn: „Die Tendenz zur Kriminalisierung von politischen Aktionen und die Einschränkung der künstlerischen Freiheit nimmt in Österreich bedauerlicher Weise zu. Aus meiner Sicht muß dem entschieden entgegen getreten werden.“
