Former Director of the Nelson-Atkins Ted Coe has Died
Ralph T. Coe began his tenure at the Museum as curator of painting and sculpture, then was appointed director in 1977.
Ralph T. Coe, the third Director of
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
and one of the nations foremost authorities on American Indian art, died Tuesday in Santa Fe, N.M.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ted Coe, said Julián Zugazagoitia, who began Sept. 1 as the fifth Director & CEO of the Nelson-Atkins. He was an excellent leader during his years at the Museum, and his time here was distinguished by his vast knowledge of the art world. He leaves behind a legacy of genuine enthusiasm for art.
Coe was an exceptional curator and collector whose passion for European art, Native American art and contemporary art inspired a host of other collectors. Among those were Marion and Henry Bloch, who carefully acquired Impressionist masterpieces over the course of 20 years with Coes assistance. Their collection is now considered one of the finest collections in private hands in the United States and is a promised gift to the Nelson-Atkins.
We would never have had a collection if not for Ted, Mr. Bloch said. He picked out every piece of art we ever bought. Many pieces were offered to us by dealers, but I would always contact Ted for his advice. His knowledge of French Impressionists and his memory were unbelievable. He was completely responsible for our collection.
Coe was born and raised in Cleveland, OH, and was a graduate of Oberlin College and Yale University. He was on the staff of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London for a year and served as a general curator at the National Gallery in Washington before joining the Nelson-Atkins in 1959.
He began his tenure at the Museum as curator of painting and sculpture, then was appointed director in 1977.
Sometime in the 1950s, Coe was captivated by a Northwest Coast totem pole model that he saw in a shop in New York. In the years since, he championed the aesthetic merits of American Indian art.
Gaylord Torrence, the Nelson-Atkins Fred and Virginia Merrill Senior Curator, American Indian Art, said Coes contributions to the field of Native American art were enormous, both as a museum professional and as a passionate collector.
Teds breadth of vision in recognizing, equally, the significance of both historical and contemporary Native American works of art and their ongoing connectedness was unusual, Torrence said. Unlike most museum curators of the time, Ted knew Indian peoples firsthand. Among his greatest joys were his extensive travels throughout the United States and Canada visiting Native artists within their communities.
During his time at the Nelson-Atkins, he curated a blockbuster exhibition, Sacred Circles: 2,000 Years of North American Indian Art, that opened in London in 1976 and then came to the Nelson-Atkins in 1977. It was acclaimed as one of the great, defining exhibitions of Native American art of the 20th century. Together, with an exhibit held at the Museum of Modern Art 35 years earlier, it largely framed the international recognition and understanding of North American Indian art in our time.
A decade later Coe organized a second landmark exhibit, Lost and Found Traditions: American Indian Art 19651985, the first major exhibition dedicated to the continuing achievements of contemporary Native artists throughout North America. His personal love of Indian art was revealed when his own extensive collection was featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 2003 exhibition The Responsive Eye, which again brought the creative vision of Native American artists to the forefront.
Ted was an inspiration to many of us in the field, Torrence said.
Coe also was known among Kansas Citians as a driving force to bring modern art to this region and may be credited for encouraging numbers of private collectors within the city.
He was a very gifted curator, and he made modern art respectable in Kansas City, said Michael Churchman, a former administrator at the Nelson-Atkins. He enlisted a lot of people in the vanguard of contemporary art.

RAVENSWOOD – The Ravenswood Red Devilettes hope lessons learned and experienced gained last year will play dividends in the upcoming 2012-2013 basketball season season.
Last winter, the Devilettes marked up a 14-11 season under first year head coach Cara Williams and assistant coach Rachel Mason who took over the program. Battling through an ultratough schedule including an LKC North gauntlet, the Devilettes caome together to win sectional and regional crowns (a nail-biting 56-55 victory over Tyler Consolidated) and return to the State AA Tournament for the fourth straight year.
Eighth-seeded Ravenswood fell 60-41 to No. 1. Westside in the state tournament, but even that loss should make the Devilettes better for '12-'13.
"We've got a real good mix with our four seniors and the four sophomores with a year's experience," said Coach Williams. "We hope to raise our level of our play. We want to avoid playing down to the level of competition which happened to us last year ion some games. We're looking for more success with less drama and being overwhelmed like we did in some games last year. Our number one goal among our team goals is to be undefeated at home. We're looking to play well and have a lot of fun doing it."
Ravenswood has a trio of talented, experienced seniors in Hannah Murray, Melonna Carmichael and Taylor "T" Youell, along with senior transfer Paige Barr will bolster the bench strength. Murray, 6-1, is the team's top returning scorer and rebounder. Carmichael, 5-1 is a quick point guard who can drain threes or drive inside. Youell, 5-5, a two-sport standout along with Murray, is a three-point specialist who looks to be physically improved for her final campaign. Barr is a 5-6 forward who will play key reserve minutes.
The senior quartet lists not playing down to competition, winning the LKC and a fifth straight state tournament berth as goals.
Also back with a year's experience under their belts is the "Freshman Fab Four," now sophomores. Returning starter Taylor Treadway, new starter Hailey Miller and super subs Kayla Scritchfield and Kindsey Torris all played key roles in last year's run, successfully making the difficult transition from middle school to varsity level play. Treadway, Miller and Scritchfield are three-sport standouts.
"Taylor (Treadway) will give you everything she has," said Coach Williams. "Hailey has tons of athletic talent and Kayla and Kindsey are solid contributors."
The Fab Four admits that the transition to the varsity level was difficult and nerve-wracking, with tougher competition, faster play and bigger opponents.
"I think the experience we gained playing as freshmen last year will really help us be more comfortable this season," said Scritchfield.
"We want to go back to states," added Treadway.
Sophomore Mariah Jackson (6-1) and freshman sharpshooter Taylor Love (5-4) will also see varsity action.
Sophomores Savana Casto, Brittany Jones, Dierra Jenkins, Alicia Alderman, Maddison Carpenter and freshman Casey Snodgrass are junior varsity players.
'Dettes take aim at cage season
RAVENSWOOD – The Ravenswood Red Devilettes hope lessons learned and experienced gained last year will play dividends in the upcoming 2012-2013 basketball season season.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: CoB Executive Advisory Council
"Why Madison?" Listening Tour
President's Journal
Nov. 8—CoB Executive Advisory Council
This entrepreneurial group is full of energy and ideas
Today we were with the College of Business Executive Advisory Council—the EAC—as they call it. What a great group of engaged alumni—and at least one equally engaged friend of the university who has had many family members come to JMU. This group is the prototype for advisory councils at the university and I believe was the very first one established at JMU. Subsequently it has served as a model and indeed even helped us launch advisory councils for other colleges at JMU. This group is so full of energy, ideas, passion for the university. It is perhaps not surprising that with all the entrepreneurial spirit in the College of Business, the advisory council idea would have started there first. These are people who are helping us to dream big—to think about what we do at the university and how we can engage our alumni when they graduate. They had so many good ideas; I just wanted to bring them along with me for several weeks as we visit with alumni around the country on the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour.
Bringing alumni back to re-experience that special feeling on campus is key
Many of these business alumni said one of the things that got them reengaged was when they had the opportunity to come back to campus and re-experience the energy and that special feeling that they said exists only on this campus. Several of them said that alumni tend to get busy with their lives, but that first visit back (and all since) reminded them why they came to JMU as students in the first place and made them want to be part of JMU again. Then, when they were actually back in the classroom or mentoring students and making those intergenerational connections, they were sold on the idea of being deeply involved in the life of JMU. They said they wanted to stay engaged because they could see what a difference it was making in students' lives.
Intergenerational relationships are meaningful for alumni and students
Our business alumni—like all alumni around the university—have so much value to add to our students' educational experience. It was quite fitting today that we had students here in the room watching this very high-level impressive conversation with members of the EAC who are modeling what we were talking about. I thought that was great for the students. One of the students even said, "I want to be on the EAC when I'm an alumnus. You've inspired me." And I think the people around the table realized what an impression they can make on the students, how they can add value directly. So getting people back onto campus and engaging with students in meaningful ways has to be a priority for us going forward.
Business alumni say it was the personal touch that made them want to reengage with JMU
One of the messages that we heard clearly today is the importance of the personal touch. As we were going around the table, every single one of these business alumni mentioned how somebody had reached out to them, to engage or reengage them with the university. Somebody asked them to be involved in some way, and that made a difference--that personal touch. Bob Reid's name came up several times as someone who reached out to people, who took a chance, who traveled around the country, who introduced himself to people, and said, "Will you get involved with us? Will you be engaged with us?" It was the personal touch of our former College of Business dean as he went around the country and got to know people. And now look at the fruits that have been borne from those interactions. We certainly owe him tremendous gratitude. He has been a great model for other deans and for all of us on how to be an ambassador for JMU.
Alumni ambassadors can tell the JMU story better than anyone
So certainly I want to do my part as president, but it's got to be a team effort; and what better team is there than this all-star lineup? These are people who today can be ambassadors in their workplaces, in all the different places they visit around the country and around the world, to be ambassadors, to talk about JMU, to say what's happening here, to talk about what a difference it is is making in people's lives and how it needs support from other people. What better way to hear than from people who have been successful and care deeply about the university? They can tell the story better than any of us can because they they are living examples of the difference JMU makes in people's lives.
In business, teamwork is what it's all about
Just as we've heard the word "teamwork" come up many times on the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour, we heard it very clearly today, because in business that is what it's all about. Nobody's going to accomplish very much in this global economy without a good team around them. Business alumni understand that good teamwork starts in your educational process. The College of Business has really learned that and taken that to heart. One of the best examples, of course, is the CoB300 course that we are very well known for nationally. I had the great opportunity to see that course in action earlier this week—to observe a team of students with their business plan being critiqued by a team of faculty from different disciplinary perspectives. It was an amazing experience to watch, very different than had it been just a one-on-one interaction or if one student had just been getting feedback on a paper. There were teams on both sides of the table, if you will, which is a great experience for our students. They get that in the classroom, outside the classroom, and in their student activities and organizations.
Employers notice the distinct skill set of our graduates
Employers notice that our students know how to work in teams; that they know how to look beyond themselves; that they have those interpersonal skills that are so important and valuable in the business world; and that they have that sense of ethics that is going to be the focus of our Quality Enhancement Plan. These are skills on which we need to focus going forward and that can be a strategic advantage here at JMU. We also want very intentionally to focus on that hallmark entrepreneurial spirit, that can-do spirit, that we really cultivate here. That "let's try it and see how it works" attitude encourages us to be innovative—producing, for instance, our very unique CoB300 or our alumni-student mentoring program. We are a relatively young university and we have that spirit of entrepreneurship, not just in the College of Business, but across the university, and we will want to be very intentional about cultivating it further as we go forward.
We must sustain those strong Madison values that JMU legacy families have experienced across the years
We had a number of examples of business alumni and friends around the table who had multiple family members at JMU. Their experiences were remarkably similar in some ways across the generations, even as the university has changed and grown. People have experienced that sense of family and community here at JMU, the close faculty-student interaction, that entrepreneurial, spirit, the can-do attitude, and the value of teamwork. We need to make sure that we not only maintain those strong values, but that we find ways to enhance them going forward. We need to recognize what has made this institution what it is today and then nurture those strengths as we look toward the future. That's the heart of the "Why Madison?" question that these business advisors answered so eloquently today.
We need more advisory groups like this pioneer CoB Executive Advisory Council
This group really is a pioneer. Members have shown us how this kind of advisory council can work for the university in terms of giving us feedback, creating and generating ideas, and providing different perspectives around the table. They fed off one another, and one idea led to another in just that short amount of time. Their time is incredibly valuable. Across the university I want to find ways to develop more groups like this. We will want to do a lot of listening so that we can hear what the Madison Experience means to them. How can we strengthen it further? And how do we tell the story? They are great spokespersons for the university.
Increasing diversity on campus is important to prepare students for a global marketplace
I was very pleased that someone from a business perspective raised the importance of diversity and the global context in which we all live and work. We think about global competition and the diverse marketplace that our students are entering as they graduate. He made the point very clearly that if we can become more diverse as an institution and provide access and opportunity for students of all backgrounds, we can provide a better educational context. Students can learn more from each other when they have different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. That interaction will prepare them better as they enter the workforce and compete globally on diverse teams and in diverse markets. So we have a need and an obligation as a university to provide a richly diverse educational environment. I was so glad they brought up this important issue, and it will be a central focus for the university in the months and years to come.

Pop this tart! Savory Corn Torilla Tarts (gluten free)
Lots and lots of changes taking place here in the Gouda kitchen since we last talked. During my blogging hiatus, I've been educating myself on what good food means to my family. After viewing two films, Food Inc. and King Corn, my meal planning on what I will and will not feed my family has changed. My menus will reflect some of those changes. See my side bar for a link about both of these!
I won't go into too much detail here, but suffice it to say, those two shows have changed my life. Changed. My. Life. I'm not easily swayed either, and no one could ever accuse me of being the type to jump on the proverbial bandwagon. Nevertheless, I encourage you to borrow these two videos from your local library and decide for yourself. I sat in stunned silence, particularly after the Food, Inc. program. Then I had my dad and sister watch it. They, too, sat stunned during the program. Anyway ... it my mission to spread the word about those shows. Some stuff in it won't surprise you ... other stuff will blow your mind. Blow. Your. Mind. Yep, it will. Even if you only incorporate one change in your diet based on what you see, like only eating grass fed/pasture raised beef, you'll be making a dramatically positive impact on your health. Go on. See for yourself.Here's a gluten free recipe that will blow you away with its yumminess. It's for little corn tortilla savory tarts, and I just love them. They are gluten free and infinitely versatile. Why feed your family an overprocessed globby filled poptart for breakfast, when these babies are available. Easy to assemble and store, they are a great addition to your breakfast or lunch menu when you want something quick and tasty. They are also quite transportable, for those days when you have to eat and run. These are adapted from a recipe I saw in Gluten Free and Easy.
Here's all you need. Feel free to vary the fillings.
Soft corn tortillas
¼ cup milk
½ cup sour cream
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
seasoned salt
red pepper and any other of your favorite spices
2 chopped green onions or 2 tablespoons diced onion
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced green chilies, green peppers, or red peppers (or your fav cooked veggies)
¼ cup corn kernels
olive oil to grease muffin tins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the tortillas on a plate, cover with a papertowel, and heat in microwave for about a minute until they are warm and soft. Dab a little olive oil on the paper towel you used to warm the tortillas, and use it to grease OVERSIZED, deep muffin tins.Gently press a warm tortillas into each muffin tin.Spoon the cheese, peppers, corn, and green onions over the base of each tortilla. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, milk sour cream, cilantro, season salt, red pepper and spices. Be sure to season liberally.Pour the egg mixture into the tortilla shells, filling as high as you can. No worries if there are some leaks. Bake in the over for 30 minutes or until puffed and brown. Let the tarts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, them remove and serve. Leftovers store and reheat nicely.Viola! Look at how puffy they are! Gluten free savory tarts. The contrast of the crunchy corn along with the quiche like filling was very palate pleasing.These are great for breakfast as well as lunch. I served mine with salsa. Yum, yum!Here, make yummy noises with me. What do you think?

I say two thousand and ten, probably because I also said two thousand and nine..but then when asked for my address I say 4-3-2. Go figure. It looks like there are some happy changes in 20-10 for It's All Gouda.

Mmmmm that looks delicous. I'm going to have to give that recipe a try.
20-10. I'm not sure why, it just seems to be easier to say.

Paula, Happy New Year to you, too!
This is a wonderful recipe to start the year. It has great flavors and it is easy, as well. Perfect in every way. Many thanks...

I'm SO glad your back...I was going to email you yesterday but my internet was down most of the day! I shorten it even more and say 2-10. I'm trying these...looks like it could be used as an appetizer too. I'm looking forward to what you're changing. We ALWAYS eat grass fed beef...it just tastes better.
- January 16, 2010 at 7:53 AM

Yay, Paula, its so good to see you back blogging again. I'm looking forward to your posts and your new opinions about the foods we eat.
20-10 - its just easier to say.

I'm in the twenty-ten camp, but I state my zip code and phone number in single digits. Odd, right? Cute little quiche like things you've made there! Tortillas are a great pastry dough substitute for your family. I made my dearly beloved a lemon meringue pie for his birthday, and I was thinking that if you lived across the street, your baby could just leave her crust, because the rest of it is good for her!

I'm so glad you're back and everything is OK, Paula....we missed you!

I say two thousand ten, only because I never thought of twenty ten. I haven's seen those movies, but I totally changed my eating after reading "Real Food" by Nina Planck. I only eat grass-fed beef and drink milk from grass-fed cows and free-ranged chicken, and heritage breed pork.

if this display of deliciousness is indicative of how your philosophy has changed, amen and praise be! what a tasty nosh.
and incidentally, twenty-ten is so much easier to say. :)

Glad to have you back Paula! And why eat an ickily sweet pop tart for breakfast indeed when you can have this basket of goodness? :)
I haven't seen the two films but I think I must. The only problem is the paucity of choices we have in the Philippines about where we get our food :(

I say two thousand and ten, and probably will continue to do so.
Thanks for the film recomendations, I'll definitely look out for those. I just tend to go with the edict - don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
These tarts are certainly recognizable as food, I'm drooling. they look yumptious - they are so on my to make list.

Twenty-Ten here. My goodness, wouldn't these make wonderful little appetizers if you cut smaller circles from and baked them in the small muffin tins! Yummy!

Norco are introducing 650B wheels to their line in 2013 with a complete commitment to the wheel size for the Range, and adding it as an option to the otherwise 26-inch wheeled Sight. The "Killer B" models - as Norco is calling their 650B versions - get a complete geometrical overhaul to properly accommodate the wheels.
The Range and the Sight feature Norco's Gravity Tune, which essentially makes minor tweaks around the bottom bracket of the front triangle to adjust virtual chainstay length for a more consistent feel throughout different model sizes. For instance, a small Range will have a 419mm center-to-center measurement, with an XL stretching out to 435mm. The shock pivot point does change slightly from frame size to frame size, but Norco claims it doesn't affect the ride quality.
The only thing carried over from 2012 on the Range and Sight are the head tubes, said Norco's PR marketing coordinator Dustan Sept. A new set of hydroformed tubes make up a lighter and stiffer main triangle up front, and asymmetrical chainstays improve stiffness out back. Tying the two together is the beefier, yet lighter, Holloform link arm, which again improves frame rigidity while reducing girth, Norco says.
Some call it 27.5in, some call in 650B. Norco calls the mid-size wheel Killer B
For Killer B versions, the FSR pivot point drops further down from the axle, and gets pushed forward as well. While each frame is slightly tweaked for Gravity Tune geometry, the rear triangles are the same on all sizes of both the Range and Sight.
Also new for 2013 are cable/housing routing, and a direct-mount front derailleur. Last year's guides are replaced with X-style guides, which hold housing cleanly with a little bit more style than the average zip tie (or as the Norco guys would say, "zap strap"). There is also an added guide route for dropper posts on both the Sight and Range for '13, too.
Cool improvements to the Aurum
Also noteworthy from the Vancouver-based company's 2013 line are two small tweaks to the Aurum. Up front, the frame-saving bumpers get more surface area to accommodate various forks, and are said to allow a better turning radius via lower profile bumpers made out of a more shock-absorbing material. And near the middle, a subtle variation of housing guides should keep the link arm from getting rubbed raw - a common problem on the 2012 Aurum.
We were able to get a full day of downhill runs in on the new Aurum 1. The bike was about as predictable and stable as they come, even on the gnarliest double-black runs that Whistler Bike Park had to offer. Manitou's Dorado was impressively supple in the small stuff, yet took big hits and drops without much feedback.
The 2013 Aurum rode great on Whistler's gnarliest trails
Frame-wise, the smallish downtube didn't equate to any type of notable frame flex, and the geometry was spot-on with a great combination of stability at speed while maintaining enough playfulness to really get thrown around in the tight and twisty stuff.
Cane Creek's Double Barrel rear shock provided plenty of adjustability, and held its feel consistently from the top of Whistler all the way down to the village. Hopefully we'll get our hands on one of the new Aurums for a long-term review to put it through the more familiar paces of our local trails, but until then, the first impression is a definite thumb's up.

Touch-friendly application development for Microsoft Windows developers is a central theme of upgraded tools being offered this week by DevExpress, which is launching its DXv2 tools series.
DX2 enables developers to build applications for Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Silverlight, and ASP.Net. "It's a library of tools that we make available covering all types of new capabilities," said Tammy Kaneshige, vice president of marketing at DevExpress. The first release in the DX2 series, DXperience 11.2, is being unveiled Tuesday and features accommodations for touch. "We're looking at enabling touch across all of the platforms," including Microsoft's upcoming Metro interface planned for Windows 8, she said. The tools also provide a bridge from ASP.Net to Apple's iPhone and iPad, enabling developers to build Web applications to run in the browser on those devices.
[ See InfoWorld's developer's guide to touch-oriented application development. Also, take a visual tour through Windows 8 Metro. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter for more coverage of software development. ]
For touch, the 11.2 release offers such capabilities as a tile control and a touch-enabled grid control. "All of our controls now have touch support, including grid," said Dave Mendlen, DevExpress chief marketing officer and a former Visual Studio official at Microsoft. DevExpress tools can complement Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE.
A beta user of DX2, Tim Huckaby, chairman of software development company Interknowlogy, sees DevExpress taking a lead in touch-based development. "I'm all about multi-touch and the natural user interface, and this is the first company of the major tools and frameworks and controls vendors to build tools to help developers build apps for touch, so this is pretty exciting stuff."
DX2 is intended to enable development of rich user experiences. Also featured in 11.2 is a duplicate code detection capability in the DevExpress CodeRush tool for code generation and refactoring. "The intent is to simplify the amount of code that people have to write themselves," Kaneshige said. An updated release of DevExpress's XAF application framework, meanwhile, leverages Web and cloud capabilities by offering better performance for AJAX-style applications and offering preliminary support for running applications in the Windows Azure cloud. Subsequent DX2 releases will add more support for touch. DevExpress, for example, wants to expand its currently limited support for touch experiences on Google's Android mobile platform.

Team of BSE capstone students helps John Deere take air out of hydraulics problem
Calendar Icon Apr 17, 2017 Person Bust Icon By Karl Vogel RSS
A team of biological systems engineering students is taking inspiration from race-car engines to help John Deere prevent air bubbles from damaging an oil filter in of one of its tractors.
As part of their senior design capstone project, the team of Luke Johnson, John Nielsen, Aaron Steckly and Bennett Turner used 3-D printing to create a corkscrew-like device that uses centrifugal motion to remove air from the hydraulics and return clean oil through the system.
"The problem they were having is they wanted filtered clean oil coming from the transmission back to the clean-oil reservoir," Johnson said. "Out of that pump they were having that cavitation problem. There was air entrained inside the oil and it was going through that filter and impact loading that filter.
"When the air slams into the filer, it destroys the paper element inside. Our device increases the life of their filter."
From the early days of the fall semester, the team "locked on" to using centrifugal force to separate the fluids, Turner said.
"We knew the constraints – it couldn't be too big, it had to work at a certain incline, they didn't want us to use electricity to power it. In the end, it was the most practical thing we could apply," Turner said.
Johnson said it was the first step in bringing together the knowledge they had learned in their college classes with their experience from other areas.
"We kind of knew we wanted to do it this way because, when you think two fluids with different densities, you know you can separate them if you spin them," Johnson said. "
The device consists of a box into which tubes for intake and output are attached. The intake tube brings the "dirty" (mix of oil and air) fluid mixture into the top of the box, where it feeds into the 9-inch long, corkscrew device. The denser oil circulates around the outside of the spiral and into the output tube. The lighter air is sent up through a center tube and out of the box.
Because all existing devices were on a much smaller scale, the capstone team had to scale-up to meet the size demands of the John Deere tractor.
The team found success on a smaller-scale version of their device, using low flow rates and a similar but smaller centrifugal device used in race-car engines.
"We noticed that when we'd go up to higher flow rates, like the ones in the tractors, it wasn't nearly as effective," Steckly said.
Using calculation techniques they learned in fluid dynamics classes, the team realized that it had to make the centrifuge larger.
"The viscosity of the oil was not as much the problem as the flow rate, the volume we needed to push through it," Steckly said. "That's when we knew we had to make this larger in scale.
"It didn't take too many iterations. We scaled up the diameter of the new hole, the intake, and based on that we knew that we could increase the flow and it should work."
Working with a larger-than-usual budget for a senior capstone project – John Deere gave the team about $12,000 – keeping costs down was always a factor, Nielsen said.
"The budget we had to work with gave us a lot of freedom, but we have always been very cost-conscious," Nielsen said. "Machining a part would be very expensive."
Choosing to manufacture the part on a 3-D printer was the logical choice. Not only would they save hundreds of dollars, the team also could rely on Nielsen's experience in that field.
"I have an internship and that's my job – to design and 3-D print things," Nielsen said. "I have a printer at home, but I usually print small stuff, like handles for Yeti mugs.
"This part was a much larger scale than anything I've ever printed. It took close to 40 hours to print and we had to use my company's printer because it has a 1-cubic foot volume."
When the new, larger-scale device was assembled and tested, it was easy to tell that the decision to scale up was the right one.
"It's one thing to conceptualize it and design it and you can see pictures of it how it's supposed to be than having it made." Johnson said. "Not just having it be a physical thing that you can touch, but knowing that it works. That's pretty awesome."
And the experience of working for a real client and developing a real product is something the team members value.
"It most definitely gives us an edge because it's putting us in a more real-world scenario – we're actually working on a project that has deadlines, and we have to meet them. There's really no other option," Johnson said. "We have to complete the whole engineering process on one part, and that's something we hadn't experienced before."

Brooks honored with statue at Camden Yards
Robinson set gold standard for third basemen in Baltimore and beyond
Still, the years haven't dimmed the affection that Baltimore fans continue to feel for the Hall of Fame third baseman. That fact was proven Saturday at Camden Yards by the wild cheers Robinson received when his bronze sculpture was revealed in the final part of the Orioles Legends Celebration Series before the game with Boston.
The Orioles already unveiled statues of Frank Robinson, Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray and Ripken earlier this season. They've been placed in the Legends Area behind center field, just above the bullpens for both teams.
"That is wonderful out there," Brooks Robinson said after the ceremony. "I've admired some of the other ballparks that I've seen the statues in ... but Mr. [Peter] Angelos' generosity here is great. Toby Mendez, I thought he did a fantastic job on all those statues out there."
There also was a pregame ceremony on the field that also gave the fans a chance to once more honor the club's legends. Each entered the field by car down the warning track in foul territory along the right-field line. The cars then dropped them off in front of the Orioles dugout, where they walked to their seats on the field near home plate.
During Robinson's slow ride in the car, it didn't look like he retired 35 years ago. He drew a standing ovation from the large crowd. The fans roared throughout his drive in the car and cheered again when a smaller version of the bronze sculpture was unveiled in front of the pitcher's mound. The Orioles stood in their dugout watching -- as did the Red Sox.
"Brooksie was our Johnny Unitas," said Palmer, a fellow Hall of Famer. "The consummate pro. Everybody who saw him play knows how great a player he was. You just don't find people as gracious and humble as Brooks. I am so fortunate to have had him as a teammate and friend."
Most longtime Orioles fans know something about Robinson's statistics -- and they were staggering. He played 23 seasons with the Orioles and won 16 Gold Gloves, a record total for a position player. He also played in 18 All-Star Games and won the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 1964 and the World Series MVP for his memorable performance in 1970 and made the Hall of Fame in 1983.
Robinson still follows the Orioles very closely and talked on Saturday about how this year's edition has him thrilled with its success. Robinson said the current Orioles really fit his definition of a team, then gave a few comments on the 2012 Orioles.
He thinks the bullpen's strong work is a big reason for the team's overall success, and he especially enjoys the play of Manny Machado at his old position.
"This kid seems like he can play anywhere," he said. "He's got a great instinct for the ball."
Robinson set the standard for third base with the Orioles and everywhere else. His success on the field, and his kind, gentle nature off it, made him immensely popular with Orioles fans as well as others who follow baseball around the country.
The 75-year old recently has been battling some health issues but looked fine on this day. The fans were calling out to him, yelling and shouting. And Robinson spent most of his speech at the unveiling of the statue thanking people he played and worked with, deflecting attention from himself.
In the end, Robinson said he really likes the idea of the statues in general and being a part of them.
"I just think it's a wonderful ballpark, and it's wonderful for fans to have a look at the guys to have a look at the guys who really helped make this franchise and guys who are in the Baseball Hall of Fame," Robinson said. "I couldn't be happier being out there as one of them."
Louis Angelos, the team's ownership representative, spoke to the crowd at the ceremony about how much Robinson meant to the team and its history.
"It is fitting that our Legends Series concludes with the dedication of Brooks' statue because when you think of the Orioles, you think about Brooks Robinson," Angelos said. "When you think of Brooks Robinson in those 23 seasons, you think of the Orioles, because he, like all of the great Hall of Fame Orioles we have honored in this season-long celebration of Orioles baseball, embody what is best about this ballclub and about this great game."

America's War On North Korea
By Stephen Lendman
On July 27, 1953, the Korean War ended. An uneasy armistice persists. The heavily fortified 2.5 mile Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separates North and South. Occasional incidents occur.
Truman's war never ended. Its origin was misreported. IF Stone's "Hidden History of the Korean War" explained.
Monthly Review co-founders Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy wrote in the preface:
"This book....paints a very different picture of the Korean War - one, in fact, which is at variance with the official version at almost every point."
Stone's investigative research presented a "full-scale reassessment of the whole" war. French publisher Claude Bourdet added:
"If Stone's thesis corresponds to reality, we are in the presence of the greatest swindle in the whole of military history....not a question of a harmless fraud but of a terrible maneuver in which deception is being consciously utilized to block peace at a time when it is possible."
Stone called it international aggression. So did Huberman and Sweezy, saying:
"....we have come to the conclusion that (South Korean president) Syngman Rhee deliberately provoked the North Koreans in the hope that they would retaliate by crossing the parallel in force. The northerners fell neatly into the trap."
Beating up on North Korea persists. It's done for geopolitical reasons. Washington needs enemies. When none exist they're created. North Korea comes straight from central casting.
Pyongyang's wanted normalized relations for decades. US administrations refuse. Tensions remain. Occasionally they escalate. It's unsure what's next. Waging war on the Korean peninsula assures losers, not winners.
On March 11, North Korea cut its hotline with the South. It abrogated the 1953 armistice. It did so as US and South Korean forces began joint exercises. They're provocative when held.
Days earlier, the Security Council voted new sanctions. They followed Pyongyang's mid-February nuclear test. They targeted its banking and finance system. They froze normal international transactions.
They involved other restrictions. North Korea said "the US is set to light a fuse for nuclear war." Its military "exercise(s) the right to a (defensive) preemptive nuclear attack."
Its state-run Rodong Sinmun said "the armistice agreement has been nullified. (N)o one can expect what will happen next."
South Korea's Defense Ministry responded. Pyongyang's government would "evaporate from the face of the earth" if it uses nuclear weapons.
Newly elected South Korean President Park Guen-hye said "We must deal strongly with a North Korean provocation."
White House National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon warned:
"There should be no doubt. We will draw upon the full range of our capabilities to protect against, and to respond to, the threat posed to us and to our allies by North Korea."
On March 30, North Korea announced a "state of war." It did so with the South. It's rhetoric belies continued policy. Conflict remains unlikely. Its official statement said in part:
"The moves of the US imperialists to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and encroach upon its supreme interests have entered an extremely grave phase."
"The Supreme Command of the KPA in its previous statement solemnly declared at home and abroad the will of the army and people of the DPRK to take decisive military counteraction to defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of its supreme leadership as regards the war moves of the US and south Korean puppets that have reached the most extreme phase."
"It is the resolute answer of the DPRK and its steadfast stand to counter the nuclear blackmail of the US imperialists with merciless nuclear attack and their war of aggression with just all-out war."
"Time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle."
"From this moment, the north-south relations will be put at the state of war and all the issues arousing between the north and the south will be dealt with according to the wartime regulations."
"The state of neither peace nor war has ended on the Korean Peninsula."
" .(T)he Korean people will give vent to the pent-up grudge and realize their cherished desire and thus bring a bright day of national reunification and build the best power on this land without fail."
White House National Security Council spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden said:
"We've seen reports of a new and unconstructive statement from North Korea. We take these threats seriously and remain in close contact with our South Korean allies."
"But, we would also note that North Korea has a long history of bellicose rhetoric and threats and today's announcement follows that familiar pattern."
No signs of military activity exist. Kaesong's industrial zone remains open. It's operating normally. South Korean companies run it.
A war of words continue. It's familiar. We've seen it all before. Washington bears full responsibility. Obama's Asia pivot involves advancing America's military footprint.
Doing so aggressively is planned. China's growing economic might and military strength are targeted. So is checking Russia at the same time. North Korea's a convenient punching bag. They don't come any better.
Beating up on Pyongyang is policy. It's longstanding. It shows no signs of ending. It continues ad nauseam.
America's so-called missile defense is for offense. In mid-March, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said additional numbers would be added in Alaska. Others are planned for Asia. In Japan, tracking radar systems were added.
China and Russia oppose them. They do so for good reason. They're prime targets. Undermining their influence is policy. So is isolating them from neighbors and asserting Washington's dominance over territories and waters not its own.
Washington deployed B-2 stealth bombers to South Korea. They dropped dummy bombs on Jik Do island.
US Forces Korea (USFK) said America's ability to "conduct long-range, precision strikes quickly and at will (shall) provide extended deterrence to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region."
B-2s are equipped for nuclear bombs and missiles. Capability doesn't reflect policy. North Korea poses Washington and Seoul no threat.
On the one hand, US officials suggest it. On the other, saber rattling implies otherwise. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says Pyongyang will amass a nuclear arsenal. It's needed to deter aggression.
After B-2s overflew South Korea, Rodong Sinmun said US provocations make American Pacific Rim bases prime targets. Russian analyst Evgeny Kim said introducing B2s "openly provok(es) North Korea."
Seoul remains calm. Pyongyang takes US threats seriously. At the same time, initiating war's unlikely. Doing so would be suicidal.
Washington's defense treaty with South Korea obligates intervention if North/South conflict erupts.
Potentially, a spark could ignite it. Small incidents at times cause big ones.
Another Asian war would be disastrous. China and Russia might intervene. If nuclear weapons are used, all bets are off.
It's hard imagining what no head of state should risk. For sure Kim Jong-un won't.
At the same time, Obama's Asia pivot makes anything possible. Events bear close watching.

Hi guys,
It's awesome to see how creative you guys were during this challenge! We had a blast trying all your games out, so thanks in advance for that!
Now let's move onto the most favourite game this buildoff:
"Iceboat" by CreeperX3sssBOOM
Game concept: You are in a boat on ice and have to shoot out the other players.
The arena could have been more buildwise, but the concept is great, it's a lot of fun to glide over the ice in a boat: you go very fast but with little control. We even made tagteams of 2 players in a boat to double the fun.
Lepharian has the idea of making a race track based of your game principle and I really want to turn it into a large arena/maze, so we'll make good use of your idea! (I cannot forsee atm when Lepharian and myself will have the time to make this, so bear with us )
Now for the rest of the fun games! (in alphabetical order)
"JUMPAKAZOO!" by CosmicDonut
Game concept: Parkours game with slime blocks and redstone (and loads of lava).
What makes this parkours a lot of fun is the use of slime blocks, they give you a big boost but also makes controlling the jumps a lot harder, good job!
The green works well with the orange of the lava and all the redstone is neatly packed away and a big plus for making the off button since this would have the potential of a lagmachine for sure
"The Towers" by _EmilyHurricane_
Game concept: Build to the top as fast as you can with random provided blocks.
This was fun also, feels like it could be polished a bit more by automating it somehow (my redstone skills are insufficient but I'm sure others can work that out), but it was fun to race to the top when we played with 4 players.
One thing we really felt was lacking was some form of buzzer for the first one to reach the top. And fireworks according to Pook: "Everything's better with fireworks!". It's a very colourful happy build which works well with the building principle, great job!
"Triple Jump" (this build was titleless, so I gave it one) by KidAwesomeTwo
Game concept: Jump game
This was the hardest one by far, none of us could jump all 3 and make it to the other side, one player did manage to get to the other side by jumping 2 blocks and then over. It feels a little unfinished still, also because it was titleless and not fully build. We would have loved an 'off' button for the redstone, but maybe that was something that was still in the making.
"Temple of Doom!" by Koeki
Game concept: Jumpy Puzzler
This game is also unfinished, but we could see what the idea was. The mossy cobblestone works well for this type of game and we can see this game being a lot of fun if it was finished and on a much larger scale (think dungeon size)!
"Lamp Lighters" by _SansBlueberry_
Game concept: Musical Chair with lamps
We all felt it needs a lil more to be a full game, the way you are randomizing is awesome and clever, but it could have used some more motion to really feel like a finished game.
For example: you could have had a disco floor with lamps and people would have to run to the lamps after pressing the button (with timer), just to get a little more action in. Good try tho!
"Bunny Brawl" by YellowPie84
Game concept: Team carrot smacking
We all loved the look of this game, it's so sweet, cute and vibrant! The game itself was not worked out completely we feel, during walking around you break a lot of your own carrots and we were unsure on how to drop our carrots (did it have a counter for each team?)
Another thing we loved is that it's a farming game! A very different concept and that is refreshing.
You guys have given us a lot of inspiration, so we might end up using some of your ideas (whenever we find the time to make more mini-games for the server!) Thanks everybody for participating and cya next buildoff!

"But don't you find it boring to wear only two colors?" "Not at all. I find it liberating. I believe my life has value, and I don't want to waste it thinking about clothing," Malcolm said. "I don't want to think about what I will wear in the morning. Truly, can you imagine anything more boring than fashion? Professional sports, perhaps. Grown men swatting little balls, while the rest of the world pays money to applaud. But, on the whole, I find fashion even more tedious than sports." "Dr. Malcolm," Hammond explained, "is a man of strong opinions." "And mad as a hatter," Malcolm said cheerfully. "But you must admit, these are nontrivial issues. We live in a world of frightful givens. It is given that you will behave like this, given that you will care about that. No one thinks about the givens. Isn't it amazing? In the information society, nobody thinks. We expected to banish paper, but we actually banished thought." Hammond turned to Gennaro and raised his hands. "You invited him."

A bounty of $1 million was placed on the head of 'the Danish cartoonist' by a Pakistani imam - who was apparently unaware that there were 12 different Danish cartoonists, and almost certainly unaware that the three most offensive pictures had never appeared in Denmark at all (and by the way, where was that million going to come from?). In Nigeria, Muslim protesters against the danish cartoons burned down several Christian churches, and used matchetes to attack and kill (black Nigerian) Christians in the streets. One Christian was put inside a rubber tyre, doused with petrol and set aligt. Demonstrators were photographed in Britain bearing banners saying 'Slay those who insult Islam, 'Butcher those who mock Islam', 'Europe you will pay: Demolition is on its way' and, apparently without irony, 'Behead those who say Islam is a violent religion.

Joel broke beautifully, had her in good position all the way around the track, made "the move" just right and I thought we had it. Low and behold the inside horse comes outside and kicks by at the last second. This race will do her good and get her ready for her next start. She is now back running and running well, so let's see if we can keep the momentum going! I saw the head on replay and it looked like she was very relaxed and doing everything right. This filly is very professional and will certainly get this condition and move up from here. Close but no cigar! That's OK, we've got a nice turf filly!

The Latest Attempt By The Obama Administration To Punish Whistleblowers
from the thomas-drake,-part-II dept
Now we have the sequel to the Drake situation, with much higher stakes in some ways. Conor Friedersdorf has a story at The Atlantic, about the administration's efforts to put reporter James Risen in jail. The full story is a worth a read, but it's pretty ridiculous. Risen is famous for exposing the Bush administrations warrantless wiretapping regime, as well as a few other clearly illegal programs. He so infuriated the Bush administration that Dick Cheney wanted to put him in jail... but realized there was no legitimate way to do so.
Along comes President Barack Obama. Part of Obama's campaign was actually built off of the information that Risen exposed:
You'd think that President Obama would take a different view. After all, he might not be in the White House today if the Bush Administration would've succeeded in keeping all its secrets: the torture, the detainee deaths, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the spying on Americans, the faulty pre-war intelligence in Iraq, and all the rest. One would expect Obama of all people to see the value in Risen's reporting - the real ways in which he has helped to preserve civil liberties, American freedom, and accountability in government - and to weigh that against the national security implications of reporting in 2006 on a bungled CIA effort that happened way back in the year 2000.You'd think. Instead, we get the opposite. The Obama administration has come down even harder on Risen than the Bush administration did, and is now threatening him with jail for not exposing his sources for some of his stories. This showdown may come soon, as a judge has indicated that she may require Risen to give up his sources. As Glenn Greenwald has noted, this whole thing seems to be a part of the "climate of fear" that was certainly present among the previous administration, but which has ratcheted up dramatically with the current administration. The key "fear" element is to make it known to both insiders who leak and reporters who publish those stories, that they could face jail time, even as the administration claims that it's encouraging whistleblowing.
Ellsberg speculated that President Obama's reason for being so much more aggressive on these issues was one of embarrassment . That is, the President recognizes that the federal government is doing all sorts of questionable stuff -- the type of stuff he actively campaigned against -- and is embarrassed by it. But since he (for whatever reason) is unable to put a stop to it, he's trying to do the next best thing: which is threaten and or punish anyone who might reveal what's being done. I'm not sure I buy that theory, but either way the situation is clearly troubling, and completely counter to the image that Obama has tried to portray of openness and transparency, and a willingness to respond directly to critics rather than punish them.
If you're concerned about freedom of speech and freedom of the press, this story should concern you. If you believe in the importance of whistleblowers to keep governments accountable when they do things like break the clear letter and intent of the law, this story should concern you. Tragically, however, it's not getting very much attention at all.

Roll Top Bread Bin - Matt Steel Fingerprint Proof is rated out of 5 by 206.Rated 4 out of 5 by egremont from Well made and good looking I bought this to replace a pottery bread crock which seemed to encourage mould. It's easy to clean and much lighter in weight. The only criticism I have is that the opening is a bit small and it's difficult to get some well-risen loaves into it.Date published: 2010-06-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Di from Excellent purchase Shopped around a lot to find right bread bin. Good size but does not quite manage 2 large cut loaves. However, couple of slices later and it is fine. It functions very well and looks great in our newly refurbished kitchen. Good storage space on top, which is an added bonus and foot print is better than our previous drop-front bread bin. Recommended buy.Date published: 2012-08-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael from Good Quality at a Reasonable Price We purchased this bread bin to replace a similar bin that literally fell to bits, this replacement from Brabrantia is a far better quality than the original bread bin. It is also far bigger allowing you to get two loafs plus to fit comfortably, the built quality is far superior than the original and it opens very smoothly and closes quietly due to rubber type buffers fitted to the front and the back, another advantage is the due to it's flat top you can store containers on the top of it. The stainless steel finish just wipes clean without much effort and it looks quite stylish, the bin came very well packed and in perfect condition, a very good buy and great value for money.Date published: 2012-07-10Rated 4 out of 5 by Janie from Good quality item I bought this Brabantia bread bin as I already have some of their kitchen items which I have found well made and sturdy and reliable. The same has to be said for this bread bin which not only looks good but is functional too and a reasonable size. I can get a full sized loaf of bread plus my butter dish/odd cake item etc. Very pleased with it.Date published: 2010-04-27Rated 5 out of 5 by peterlia from a truly brilliant product well worth the money this bread-bin exceeded my expectation.when i saw it i realized how large it was and i was amazingly surprised with that spectacular feature!Tesco made the process of ordering the product a smooth transition.all in all Tesco provided a 5 star service expressing that in the products they sell like this bread bin.as a first timer to internet shopping it was brilliant thank you Tesco! and this bread bin also kept storing my bread,(as me being a baker by profession) an easy job and the bread stayed fresh for days!Date published: 2013-12-28Rated 4 out of 5 by Paul from Good Size Bread Bin I'm pleased I didn't opt for a smaller size bin. This one holds a large loaf and there's sufficient room remaining for a packet of crumpets or some bread rolls. It's a simple design and adequately robust - but certainly no more than that.Date published: 2012-10-03Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from excellent quality bread bin this brabantia bread bin is my second one ,the first lasted 11 years before it started to look a bit shabby and i,m hoping this one looks as good and lasts as long,it is perhaps a little more expensive than other stainless steel bread bins,but im a firm believer in you get what you pay for,so i would most definitly reccomend it for looks and qualityDate published: 2012-01-11Rated 5 out of 5 by SARAH from Perfect For My Needs Was fed up only being able to fit a loaf of bread in & possibly squeezing something else in my bread bin but this is an ideal size. I can fit wraps, 1 normal loaf & 1 small loaf in easily without door catching on bags etc.Date published: 2010-03-16

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Scoring its first goal 20 minutes into the first half, the MIT men's soccer team were unstoppable for the rest of the game, scoring two more to defeat Emmanuel College in its final non-conference game of the season by a score of 3-1 on a crisp Wednesday evening on home turf. With his 19th goal this year that was scored near the end of the second half, sophomore Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) broke the Institute record for most goals scored in a season. Tech improved to 12-3-1, while the Saints dipped to 9-11.
Although the Engineers gained possession of the ball quickly, they had keeper Garrett Charette to contend with, who kept getting in the way of promising shots. Twenty minutes into the half, senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) broke free of the defenders and shot at the net from well inside the box, but Charette was able to make the save. Seconds later, Monheit took another shot that hit the post. Bingham took a powerful shot after the keeper had been brought out of the net but another Saint was able to plant himself in the net and block it. No more than a minute later, Charette punched a shot by junior Nicholas Diamantoni (Boca Raton, Fla.) out of the net and directly at the feet of fellow juniorAlexander Dago (Chicago, Ill.), who pocketed the ball into the back of the net under the goalie's arm to notch his second of the season.
It was not until the 28th minute that Emmanuel took its first shot, at which point, Tech had already taken 11 shots. With eight minutes remaining in the half, junior keeper Sam Cannon(Scarsdale, N.Y.) booted the ball clear out of danger just as a Saint had broken through the defenders and was heading directly for the net, keeping the score at 1-0 heading into the second.
Emmanuel's best shot at a goal came five minutes into the second 45 minute period when Danny Richman fired at the net but sophomore goalie Jake Amereno (Commack, N.Y.), who was replacing Cannon in the MIT net, was able to make a diving save. Less than 10 minutes later, senior Jonathan Tebes (Hamden, Conn.) scored his first of the season when he received a cross from Diamantoni directly in front of the net and slipped it into the right corner of the net, seemingly without the keeper noticing. The Saints' lone goal of the game came at the 76 minute mark when Ryan Brady fired the ball past a diving Amereno following a free kick from Cian O'Sullivan.
With a one-point game on their hands and just 14 minutes remaining, the Engineers turned up the aggression in hopes of scoring one more goal. They got their wish as, with less than six minutes left on the clock, Bingham received a pass from freshman Tommy Harris (Lincoln, Ill.) and fired point blank at the net to give MIT a 3-1 lead. With one more save by Charette, the game ended with an MIT victory.
Tech outshot the Saints, 27-10, with Charette having to make an impressive 12 saves. Cannon, who improved to 5-2 on the season, made four saves, while Amereno only had to make three. Bingham took seven shots throughout the game, three of which had to be saved. Monheit was close behind with five shots.
MIT's senior day will occur at the final game of the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 2 against New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival WPI at 1:00 p.m. As they have been for the past few weeks, the Engineers are first in the NEWMAC standings, just half a game ahead of Wheaton College. The seedings for the upcoming NEWMAC Championships, which will begin exactly a week from today on Wednesday, Nov. 6, will be released after the final contests have been completed on Saturday.

Frank Langella plays Lear at Chichester
Three time Tony Award-winner Frank Langella will play King Lear at Chichester this autumn.
The production will run in the Minerva Theatre from 31 October to 30 November before moving to the Harvey Theatre at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in New York (7 January-9 February 2014).
King Lear will be directed by Chichester associate Angus Jackson and designed by Robert Innes Hopkins.
Langella earned one of his three Tony Awards for his performance as Richard Nixon in the acclaimed Frost/Nixon (Donmar Warehouse, West End and Broadway), and subsequently starred in the film adaptation.
His additional Tonys were for roles in Seascape and Fortune's Fool, as well as three more nominations for Man and Boy, Dracula and Match.
Jonathan Church, artistic director at Chichester Festival Theatre, said: "We are absolutely delighted to announce that this legendary American actor has accepted our invitation to lead the company of King Lear here at Chichester; and equally delighted to be returning to BAM after our previous collaboration, Macbeth, in 2008."

Provo • Senior quarterback James Lark was the story of the day in BYU's 50-14 win over New Mexico State on Saturday, throwing six touchdown passes in his first career start.
But Cody Hoffman's performance wasn't shabby, either.
BYU's junior wide receiver caught five of those TD passes, bettering the previous school record of four held by a couple of players.
"He's a special player," Lark said of Hoffman. "They don't come around very often. … I wanted to take advantage of that. You put it anywhere near his hands, he will catch it."
Hoffman caught 12 passes for a career-high 182 yards, several times snagging balls with a defender draped on his back. He said it was the first time in his football career that he's scored five touchdowns in one game.
"So to think that I had five touchdowns is kind of surreal," said the Crescent City, Calif., product.
Hoffman's first TD catch of the day came when coach Bronco Mendenhall decided to go for the touchdown instead of a field goal on fourth-and-goal from the NMSU 5-yard line. Mendenhall said he took the risk because kicker Justin Sorensen had missed a 39-yard field-goal attempt on BYU's first possession.
"It just didn't seem like this was going to be his day," Mendenhall said of Sorensen.
Hoffman's prettiest catch was a 64-yarder from Lark when NMSU's cornerback bit, thinking the play was going to be another quick screen.
"We knew that eventually they would fall for it," Hoffman said.
Hoffman has had great chemistry with starting quarterback Riley Nelson, and that carried over with Lark at the controls.
"He put the ball where he needed to, and I was able to come down with them. It just shows the confidence he has in me and that I have in him," Hoffman said.
But the receiver was wary of being drawn into the Nelson-or-Lark debate, saying it wasn't like Lark was out to make a statement that he should have been the Cougars' starting quarterback long before now.
"He showed that if Riley were to go down, like he did, that he is ready to come out and play for us, and get us a win," Hoffman said.
Mendenhall said Hoffman is becoming one of the premier receivers in school history.
"Man, it seems like every time you throw it to him, it is in a critical situation, and something good happens," Mendenhall said. "Rarely does he drop one. He just keeps bringing them down. Man, he's made so many plays for our program. We are really lucky he's here."

Romer, Mayor-elect Michael Hancock make first public appearance since election
In their first public appearance since the contentious mayoral runoff, Chris Romer and Mayor-elect Michael Hancock appeared together today in downtown Denver.
Romer stopped by Hancock's press conference at the Wellington E. Webb building, where the mayor-elect introduced Cary Kennedy as his chief financial officer. During the election, Kennedy was a staunch supporter of Romer.
"The voters saw the Hancock administration is going to put Denver first, inclusiveness second and politics as a bottom factor," said Romer, about Kennedy's appointment.

The Warwick Vets boys' soccer team had already clinched the No. 8 seed in the Division III playoffs prior to Friday's season finale at Burillville, but the 'Canes still wanted to finish out strong.
And on the heels of three consecutive losses, Vets got the type of performance it was looking for against the Broncos, battling to a 1-1 tie.
While it didn't make a difference in the standings, simply getting back on track prior to the postseason was an important step for the 'Canes, who will be making their first playoff appearance since 2008.
"They settled down today," Vets head coach Mike Kenney said. "I told them before the game, no stressing this one. I had some guys at different positions. I put Will [Hay] in middle, I had Nikone [Soupharath] up front. They relaxed a little bit and they played well. This is how we can play. If we play like this we're going to do okay."
Vets was in position to finish significantly higher in the standings as recently as two weeks ago, but the three-game slide – and losses in four of five games – dropped them down.
It started on Oct. 12, when the 'Canes lost 5-0 to North Smithfield before beating Scituate 2-1. Vets then lost to Cranston East, Exeter/West Greenwich and Davies, and the team fell below .500.
Against Davies on Thursday, the 'Canes lost 7-1. That's why tying Burrillville – which is the No. 5 seed in the playoffs at 7-3-4 – felt so big. Vets finished the season at 6-6-1.
"It's there, you've just got to put it together," Kenney said. "It was good to do it against a good team too. I'm more than happy with the point."
The game was scoreless throughout much of the first half, as neither team could do much with the few chances they had. Burrillville's Michael D'Antuano hit the cross bar in the 22nd minute, while Vets had four corners in the first 25 minutes.
Finally, in the 30th minute, the 'Canes found the back of the net. Hay made a move on the right side of the box, drew the defense toward him and then sent a pass back to the middle to a wide open Dylan Robert.
Robert took a hard shot that was saved by keeper Blake Boutiette on a dive, but the ball deflected towards the far post. Vets' Justin Batista was rushing the goal and easily kicked the ball in for a 1-0 lead.
"We played yesterday and we didn't play well," Kenney said. "Today was much better."
Early in the second half, though, Burrillville tied the score.
A long throw in by Alex Milletts went all the way to the middle of the box, and D'Antuano was there to knock it in with his body to tie the score.
The throw-in caught Vets off-guard initially, as Burrillville didn't feature the long throw at all in the first half.
For the remainder of the half, the 'Canes were prepared, and they routinely cleared the dangerous throw-ins.
"What a weapon," Kenney said. "It caught us by surprise. I had a feeling, down this end. I said wait until we see it down there. That's going to catch a lot of people by surprise. At one point they got a corner kick and I said, 'Good.'"
Burrillville kept the pressure up for the most of the second half, but Vets' defense held strong in front of goalkeeper Mike Riccitelli.
And when a ball did get through, Riccitelli was there to make the save. He made a diving save on a point blank shot in the 53rd minute, and he kept out a goal in the 72nd on a charging save in which he beat a Burrillville player to the ball at the top of the box.
"Mike's had a solid year," Kenney said. "He's improved. He worked real hard at it in the off-season and it shows this year."
Now the 'Canes will try to build on the performance in the postseason. They are scheduled to take on the No. 9 seed, Scituate, in Warwick in the preliminary round, with date and time still to be announced..
The one time the two teams played during the regular season, on Oct. 15, Vets won 2-1. Scituate went 5-6-3 during the season.
The winner of that game will take on top-seeded Exeter-West Greenwich in the quarterfinals.
Vets has not had a playoff victory since 2005.
"They're a funny group," Kenney said. "Some days I think they're ready for it, other days I don't and they come out and do the opposite."
