A new technology that relies on a system of inflatable sound absorbers may help make any performance hall instantly convertible into a venue for music ranging from classical to hard rock. The technology will be described at the 21st International Congress on Acoustics (ICA 2013), held June 2-7...
Welcome to Warped Wednesday. On this, we'll put out the rush to judgment mat, go a little too far and have a little fun. Will it be funny? Sometimes. Will it be crazy and largely unbelievable? Probably. Will not everyone get it? Definitely.
Just days after his dominating win in the final...
...stone dvd? I put in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone dvd to watch, and somehow the great hall feature was up. How do I get out of the great hall and back to the main menu without having to play through it?

He'll get in eventually, just like Bonds, (I mean MLB won't strip any individual awards they won like they did with Lance Armstrong). I don't really care for Rocket Roger, but I have a friend that says he's going in as a Yankee, just because of the World Series thing.
They're all on the HOF ballot this year. Who makes it?
BQ1- If they don't make it this year, which of the 3 will eventually make it?
BQ2- If you had a vote, who would you vote in, of these 3?
I think Bonds and Clemens will make it.
BQ1- I think, despite what they are alleged to have done...
Assembly Hall went dark for a few seconds tonight early in the second half of the top-ranked Hoosiers' 83-59 beat down of No. 14 North Carolina. There were no dead bodies or murder mysteries to solve when the lights came back on. The killing came after that as the Tar Heels scored just 22 points...
Soon John Calipari may not be the only coach reluctant to take his team to Bloomington.
What coach in his right mind would agree to play a non-conference game against Indiana at Assembly Hall these days when he has a better chance of taking Charlize Theron out to dinner than getting a road win...
Should Gary Bettman have spoken at the 2012 Hockey Hall of Fame induction?
Of course not. He's the single most divisive figure in the NHL, seen as the catalyst for an embarrassing lockout that's kept the game at a standstill in North America — the third work stoppage of his tenure. His...
We understand where Franco Harris is coming from, really.
Joe Paterno was Harris' college coach, he holds him in high regard, and he wants to clear his name. He has been an outspoken supporter for Paterno when it comes to the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the notion that the former Penn State...
I no longer hate Pizza Hut for making really crappy food; I hate them for undermining U.S. politics with probably the most inane PR stunt I've ever seen: Offering pizza for life to anyone who will ask whether the candidates prefer "sausage or pepperoni" at the Town Hall debate on October 16. In...
As part of the promotion for their upcoming movie "The Campaign", Hollywood funnymen Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis took part in an event at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto on Monday that allowed the first 125 fans in attendance a free ticket to an advanced screening of the film.

Sorry, Axl Rose, Cleveland's rocking on without you. Music's famous stars jammed together last night at the 27th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at...
There are typically two kinds of great coaches in sports: the winners and the innovators — sometimes, as in the cases of Phil Jackson and Bill Walsh, a coach can be both. The winners carve out greatness because they were able to build up their teams, get the most out of their talent, and end the...
I read that he believes he has found a method for finding exact tempos for every work bach composed, I haven't seen his work praised by anyone else so I suppose they aren't widely accepted, but then I haven't really seen anyone say anything about them. Right away I asked myself why Bach himself...
