The science-fiction horror film Pitch Black almost seems conceived as an advanced exercise for a director of photography. The setting for the movie, which USA Films released in February, is a planet where a spacecraft carrying the principal characters crash-lands. The planet is arid and deserted, with a forbidding landscape that broils under the heat of three suns. These orbs of varying hue rise and set, but on different schedules, so there is never a night. That is, until an eclipse plunges the planet into pitch blackness, and brings out the monsters.
"The darkness wasn't hard to achieve--you just turn everything off," says DP David Eggby, ACS, who shot exteriors for the film on location in desolate, treeless Coober Pedy, South Australia. "But the rest of it caused a lot of gray hairs. Director David Twohy, as directors often do, wanted to achieve a totally different look on this planet. We watched a lot of commercials he'd recorded, and there were certain styles and looks he liked. One specific commercial was very interesting--it had a contrasty, solarized, almost pearlescent image. We thought it would be great for this alien planet, where it's bleached out, with red and yellow suns during one 12-hour period, and a blue sun during the other 12-hour period."
Eggby took the commercial to a lab for analysis, and determined that its look was derived from telecine manipulation of a normal negative. "There are wonderful things you can do in video," says the Australian-born cinematographer, whose other credits include Mad Max, Quigley Down Under, Dragonheart, Blue Streak, and the pilot for the Fox series Space: Above and Beyond. "You can stretch colors, you can increase contrast, you can desaturate. But these things are very hard to do on a film, unless you totally digitize it, which you can't do. There's a great cost factor. A commercial is only 30 seconds, and you can stretch and play with it however you want."
Twohy and Eggby started looking into other options. "During one of my conversations, he asked me what I knew about bleach bypass," recalls the DP. "I'd read about it, but it was not a technique I'd used myself, so I started to investigate and ask questions of the labs. It soon became apparent to me that in most of the movies that had used bleach bypass, it had been incorporated as a technique to make the film darker. What we wanted to do was the opposite. We wanted to keep the silver in so that we had as highlighted, desaturated an image as possible."
The cinematographer embarked on the customary tests, and found there were certain rules of thumb regarding bleach bypass. "The higher ASA film stock you use," he says, "the less effective the bleach bypass. I found that one particular film stock, Kodak 5425 50ASA daylight stock, allowed me to get the image I wanted more than any other--it allowed for much more variation. But it was still an extremely unpredictable and unorthodox thing to do; film is not really designed, and labs are not really designed, to do this."
Especially when, as Eggby decided, the thing to do was bypass the bleach process on the original negative. "Nearly all the films that have incorporated bleach bypass have chosen to do it on the internegative or interpositive stage," he says. "We took the bull by the horns, and said if we're going to do it, let's do 100% bleach bypass on the original negative." There was one major reason to do so on Pitch Black. "When you do it on the interneg or interpos, you have to do it to the whole roll, inside or outside, night or day. And we only wanted to do it to show the extreme on the outside of the planet." Initially, Twohy had thought the desired bleached-out look should also apply to interiors--inside the wrecked spacecraft, for example, and several abandoned structures found on the planet. "But I said, 'Let's just try to do something for the exteriors, and make the spacecraft more normal.' " Skipping the three-stage bleach process on the negative meant the required back-and-forth variations could be accomplished.
Eggby says he can't give enough praise to the two labs--Atlab QLD in Queensland, Australia, and Consolidated Film Industries (CFI) in Hollywood--that worked on the movie. "A couple of labs didn't want to touch it, because we were working on the original negative," the DP says. Another complication was that there were two major looks he wanted to achieve within the silver retention: one on the red end of the spectrum, and one on the blue. "We started with different colored filters for the suns," he recalls, "but what that gave us was an overall cast of color, which is not what we wanted--it's a cheap, hokey look. And incorporated with the bleach bypass, it was uncontrollable: You had nowhere to go, no possibility for the timer to add or reduce color because I was introducing too much color initially.
"For the red sun," he continues, "I started eliminating colors. I found that by using the 5245, which already has the 85 filter in the emulsion, using an extra 85 filter, and overexposing--not underexposing, which most people do with bleach bypass--and then having a lot of varied printer lights, this gave the best orange look while still retaining other colors. [For simplicity's sake, the red and yellow sun looks were treated as one.] For the best desaturated blue look on the 5245, we found that using no filtration on the camera gave enough of an effect, again using certain printer lights. Leaving all the silver in just does some weird things to the emulsion."
For each look, Eggby used corresponding gels on the lights. "For the red-yellow sun sequence, I used triple 85s and double 85s on our 20ks and Maxi Brutes," he says. "And for the daylight exterior blue sun, I was using HMIs with blue gel on them." When the time came to shoot daylight-infused spacecraft interiors on stages at Warner Roadshow Studios on Queensland's Gold Coast, the DP tried to duplicate the look without retaining the silver in the image. "Coming from outside the set, we had 20ks for the tungsten or HMIs for the blue, gelled to match as closely as possible the bleach bypass effect we had achieved on the exteriors."
The Coober Pedy location, where Eggby first worked when he shot George Miller's Mad Max, in 1979, was not as predictably dry and sun-baked as usual. "We had a lot of overcast skies, so in many ways choosing to go bleach bypass worked in our favor," he says. "It would have been pretty boring going out there and shooting an alien film on an overcast landscape and then trying to do something to the image later on; it would look like a low-budget TV movie." On the other hand, the DP adds, silver retention responds best to contrast and shadow detail. Overexposing the image helped, but still, Eggby says, "I can remember sitting there in dailies each night, and it would vary so much, because over a period of weeks the lighting conditions changed considerably." That was one reason timing became so crucial. "Lee Nicholls at Atlab, and later, Dan Muscarella at CFI, were very willing to understand what we were doing, and to sit there and tweak and play with it. Dan had to put extra power and extra trims into his timer lights. Retaining the silver makes the negative so dense, you've got to print right through it."
Though a few night exteriors were shot on location, most of the movie's post-eclipse scenes were staged in the Queensland studio. "We used forced perspective on a few of the sets, with just a small infinity cutout on the landscape," says Eggby. The near-total darkness effectively concealed details both of visual effects supervisor Peter Chiang's carnivorous flying creatures (which were mostly digital with a few animatronic pieces) and of the setting, but obviously some illumination was needed, or there wouldn't be a movie.
Part of the problem was taken care of by the script, which calls for the characters (played by Vin Diesel, Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, and Keith David, among others) to run a gauntlet to their spaceship, carrying various forms of light to ward off the monsters. "The show was all about these people being protected by the light they carried, so having a traditional big moonlight source would have negated that," says the DP. "But you have to have some ambiance or edging to give the canyons they're running through shape and form. David Twohy said he didn't want anything, but then you'd just see faces, and the audience would get bored with it. Also, it starts to rain, and rain needs backlight. You just have to be careful the ambient light doesn't overpower the light sources they're carrying."
These sources include flashlights, flares, and alcohol lamps, as well as futuristic-looking 1/2" fiber-optic instruments suggested by gaffer Tony Holtham. Eggby used most of these practical lights as is for illuminating the actors, with edge light underexposed one or two stops for ambiance. For film stock on the "night" scenes, he chose Kodak's 500ASA 5279 stock. "This is a movie of extremes in many ways," he says. "Sometimes using the 5245 on the daylight exteriors with a couple of filter packs, I'd be down to 32 or even 16ASA, with pretty wide-open apertures. On the other extreme, I needed as much speed as I could get on the night footage, and used 500ASA."
But even this speed was inadequate for the glow worms. These are the cave-dwelling life forms that provide last-minute luminous salvation for the remaining characters when all other light sources have been extinguished. "What can you do, it's not a $200 million movie, you can't have visual effects on everything," says Eggby of the frustration that attended the creation of the glow worms. "So we got the chemical that goes in nightsticks and tested it, and found that wide-open on the high-speed stock I could make it glow."
Glow on film, that is--the chemical still didn't provide enough illumination to cast light on the actors' faces. As in so many tight spaces, Kino Flo came to the rescue. "I had four Mini Flos wired into bottles containing this chemical, and ran cables down the actors' hands to battery packs on their belts," says Eggby. "When you saw the front of the bottle, it would be the chemical, and on the back of the bottle, which you couldn't see, were these Mini Flos illuminating their faces."
Such matters may have been difficult to resolve, but they didn't carry the risks of the filmmakers' stab at innovation in the bleach bypass sequences. "It was a big gamble on the producers' part to let us do this," concludes Eggby. "I signed disclaimers just to cover my ass, basically stating, 'Look, guys, I'm prepared to do it, but we are pioneering in a way.' " There was also a fallback measure in place. "I have four slugs of film of a test I did," the DP reveals. "I have an original shot of a correctly exposed, correctly developed image; an orange bleach bypass effect; a blue bleach bypass effect; and then a reclaimed image. After all that, if they didn't like the bleach bypass, we could have reclaimed 98% of the original image. We could put the negative back through the process and bleach it out. We would have done something else to try to create the look, but it would have been a fairly ordinary-looking movie.
"But as it is," he continues, "we've got an interesting look that I don't think any other film has been able to achieve. It was a tricky post, and fortunately, I was involved in the timing. I was able to go to CFI and spend a week with Dan Muscarella. But I do remember sitting there in the desert looking at the double-head screening system and thinking, 'Look at these images. I've been doing this 30 years--what am I doing to myself?'"

This is part of a series of posts sponsored by Talladega Superspeedway. Whether you are making a week-long vacation out of it or coming just for a day, make sure to plan your Talladega experience today. This is more than a race. This is Talladega.
There's a vocal minority of race fans who profess not to like restrictor-plate racing. I don't understand these people.
Their contention is that racing with carburetor restrictor plates – as NASCAR does at Talladega Superspeedway and Daytona – is somehow not "real" racing, because drivers don't always control their own destiny.
Restrictor-plate racing produces surprise winners, unusual strategies (like the new two-car drafts), big wrecks and typically more entertainment than at other tracks.
And you never know who's going to win until the very last second.
Oh, the horror! It's just terrible, isn't it? Who would want to sit there and actually be entertained for 500 miles?
To me, the fact there are four restrictor-plate races on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule are a very, very good thing. And next week's Aaron's 499 should only serve as a continuation of February's Daytona 500, which was one of the most memorable races – of any kind – in recent years.
The races I get most fired up to attend typically fall into one of these three categories: Superspeedway, short track or road course.
Each type of track has its own advantages. The road courses are cool because they mix things up a bit. The short tracks have lots of fender-rubbing and makes the drivers get mad at one another, which is fun to watch.
But the superspeedway races take it to another level. They present so many unknowns, there's a palpable tension that surrounds the track until the checkered flag.
Only then can everyone breathe.
How is that a bad thing? Sports, ultimately, are supposed to be fun to watch. What happens in a stadium, arena or racetrack is an escape from reality, a distraction from real life for a few hours.
If I'm going to spend time watching something, I'd prefer it to be as entertaining as possible. The purists who want the drivers to race without restrictor plates – and thus get the field strung out – also probably want to see golfers use wood clubs off the tee at this weekend's Masters.
I like when the field is bunched up. I like the lottery-ball nature of the racing.
Like many people, I preferred the pack racing over the two-car drafts, but the new hookups turned out to be much more intriguing than expected at Daytona. Now, I find myself anxious for "Dragonfly Racing: The Sequel" next week ("Dragonfly" because the two-car drafts kind of look like dragonflies flying around and...uh...you know).
But think about this: Whether it's pack racing or the two-car drafts, isn't restrictor-plate racing the best show NASCAR has to offer? If you're going to tell a friend who has never watched NASCAR before which race to tune into, I'm going to guess there's a better than 50 percent chance you'd recommend a restrictor-plate race.
If you're skeptical about that claim, let me know how you feel after watching 500 miles at Texas this weekend. The purists can keep their strung-out racing; I'll take the entertainment value of restrictor plates any day.

So I talked to the guys at Detroit Barbell about getting a shirt and they recommended I get a double ply open back rage X. Pretty simple but I'm not sure exactly what size I need. I weigh about 240 and JJ told me I would need something between like a 52 and a 56.
I think the shirt they had me in last time was a 56 dbl open some kind of high end phenom shirt. I got 80lbs out of it but it fit "comfy" more than tight. I'm a weak baby and my best bench yet was 315 off a 2brd (should be able to hit it straight in 2-3 weeks though).
Took some measurements unflexed and got chest 46 (edit: remeasured and I got 48), shoulders 53 or 54, and arms 17.
I think that would put me somewhere like 53-55, but I have no idea whether I would be getting a shirt that would be impossible to touch since I suck so bad...
Any ideas?
Edit: I am also wondering if I would want stuff like scooped neck on the shirt, etc..? Don't want to spend the extra $$ on something that ain't gonna make much a difference, esp since it's a first shirt.
Last edited by OGROK; 11-09-2009 at 10:13 PM.
with a 46 chest I would think you would want a smaller size like 50-52, but with 17 arms and those shoulders you might want the bigger size, and is the 315 with a shirt on or raw? Most people would probably tell you to get a single ply, but I don't have too much experience with it, I got a used double ply ragex size 52 and have a 48 inch chest, it fits pretty tight on me and hard to get it up against the shoulders, but my first time using it I got 385 for a double first rep down to 3 board second rep down to about 2 board but it tore the crap out of the back side of my triceps. Waiting till probably this weekend to get heavy in the shirt when I have a crew to bench with.
I re-measured my chest and it actually seems to be a 48.

I am 5'9 255lbs, not sure on exact measurements but I know they are pretty similar to yours. I wear a sz50 2ply rage-x and it fits pretty good.
Are your arms 17 flexed or relaxed?
As far as mods to the shirt, I would suggest getting a scooped neck. Grid stitching is also nice, but may make the shirt harder to use for you.
To be honest this is a lot of shirt for your first shirt, but if you are training with a good group you should be fine. It takes me around 500lbs to touch in my rage-x.

The guy at Inzer said based on my chest measurement the standard size they would recommend is 52... But I'm not sure I would be able to touch in that, so should I go for the 54?

Yeah man but didn't you say you needed 500lbs to touch in the 50? 500lbs would crush me lol...
EDIT: Just heard back from Brent Mikesell, he said get the 52 and you guys are saying get the 52 so that's the plan..

The unique story of AVEENO® began back in 1945, with Albert and Sidney Musher and the introduction of Soothing Bath Treatment. The Musher brothers were driven by a profound curiosity about how things work and how substances interact and a belief that centuries-old remedies hold the promise for human wellness. In conjunction with the Mayo Clinic, the Musher brothers' experimentation with raw cereals led to the discovery of a natural bath additive containing 100% colloidal oatmeal ("colloidal" means milled to an ultra-fine powder), known for its natural ability to hold in moisture and relieve dry, irritated skin. And so was the birth of Soothing Bath Treatment and the AVEENO® brand. In fact, the Mayo Clinic was the Brand's first customer.
Throughout the years, AVEENO® has continued this story of discovery and passion for unlocking the power of nature through scientific advances to benefit humankind. AVEENO®, the leader in ACTIVE NATURALS®, continues to develop breakthrough product formulations with new and existing natural ingredients, many that are clinically proven to deliver real skin care benefits leaving you with healthier-looking, beautiful skin. No wonder AVEENO® has been endorsed and recommended by dermatologists and pediatricians for over 60 years and is the brand trusted most by dermatologists for the efficacy and safety of its natural ingredients.

Hi there,
is there a way to change the tag format naming convention for plc parametric symbols. In the drawing properties I have defined that the tag format follows %A%F%S%N but when inserting the first part of the module it inherits the TAG = PLC11 where I assume that the 11 comes from the sheet no. and line reference. I would instead like to define that the module would get the following tag name 10D11 where 10=SEC, D=Family and 11=sheet no. and line reference.
Any ideas appreciated please.
Thank´s, Gary
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello again,
since I havent got any responce on this post yet I thougt I´d try to explain a little better what I´m aiming after.
As shown on the attached image, I have defined under drawing properties that the component tag format shall follow the definition of %A%F%S%N (Section, family, sheetno. and line reference). However when inserting PLC units, ACADE seems to default the tag format for the plc input module to PLC1 which is probably the family and line reference (see attached image). My question is "Can I alter the default tag format for PLC units such that when inserting the input module it is automatically tagged in the following way:
Example: -10D311 where 10=Section, D=Family, 31=Sheet no and finally 1=line reference"
THL. Gary
I am sorry that one of us did not get back to you sooner. The parametric PLC is a little different from the "normal" component insert. In the PLC IO database, you can set up the tag to appear different from the the project settings. The PLC Database settings will override the project settings. If you want to have your PLC IO with a specific tag applied, you need to go into the PLC Database Editor and alter the tags for the various PLC IO that you will be using. Then it will conform to what you want.
Hello Bob and thank´s for pointing me into the right direction, I see know how this is setup
I have another question for you if have the answer on hand I would really appreciate you help.
I´m trying to setup ACADE on a shared network and I have some problems with the Icon menu file that looks strange.
I have moved the icon menu file to a shared directory on the network and changed in project properties the network path but still I get some strange results as shown in the attached image.
Thanks again for your support,
Regards, Gary
You are missing the slide files (these files are where ithe images come from).
You need to copy these (*.slb) files from
if using XP C:\Documents and Settings\{Your User Name}\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 20##\R1#.1\enu\Support
if using Vista+ C:\Users\{Your User Name}\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD Electrical 20##\R1#.1\enu\Support
to the same folder on the network that you copied the *.dat files. I would also recommend adding an Images folder to the same folder for holding all the new Icon (png) files that will be created when you make your own symbols for the menus.
Thank´s again Bob for your valued support and guidance. I moved the files as you suggested and everything is up and running
Regards, Gary
Have you had any problems with this method? i have created my PLC in the database file editor. i am using a 'Module Info Terminal Point Wire Left' point for my plc information. Then in tag i change the current text (which is PLC%N) to an A and put the PLC onto the page. this is fine and it says A as the tag.
However then when i do a project update it goes back to PLC%N again and i have tried editing it in every way i could think of. have you guys got any ideas?
What version of AutoCAD Electrical are you using?
I just tried in AcadE 2014, and the retag worked like expected.
If I remember correctly I ended up by fixing the tagname for the parent (first module) the children are linked to the parent such that if I changed the tag on the first module others are updated automatically. Tagging of PLC component seems like it doesn´t follow the tagformat setup so that´s why I just did this manually.
Regards, Gary
Hi Rhesusminus,
I´m working with ACADE 2013. I had a problem with 2014 after installing it so I reverted back to good old 2013. The problem is related to our install deployment and I haven´t had the time to fix that yet. Time flyes and soon were looking at the 2015 version!
One other thing, did you see my post from yesterday regarding wirenumbers...I´d appreciate if you could comment on that
Thank´s again and regards, Gary

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Students at a Nevada middle school were filing off buses and reuniting with friends on the playground after a weeklong vacation when the pop of gunfire shattered the morning calm. Children fled the campus for their lives before the first bell rang. Police said a Sparks Middle School student was the lone shooter who injured two classmates, killed himself and took the life of an 8th-grade math teacher who tried to stop the rampage Monday. The teacher, 45-year-old former serviceman Michael Landsberry, was being hailed for trying to protect students from a shooting that was witnessed by 20 or 30 children. "We have a lot of heroes today, including our children ... and our fallen hero, an amazing teacher," Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez said. Authorities did not provide a motive for the shooting, and it's not known where he got the gun. The 12-year-old wounded students were listed in stable condition. One was shot in the shoulder, and the other was hit in the abdomen. Jose Cazares said he was hanging out with friends when they heard gunshots, which they thought were firecrackers. He said he saw a boy shoot two students. He said the boy then aimed the gun at his chest, but Landsberry stepped between him and the shooter. "He was telling him to stop and put the gun down. Then the kid, he yelled out 'No!' Like, he was yelling at him, and he shot him," Jose told NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday. "He was calm, he was holding out his hand like, 'put the gun in my hand.'" Jose said he and his friends ran and hid after Landsberry was shot. He said one friend began crying, which the shooter heard. The shooter found the boys and threatened to shoot them if they told anyone they saw him, then fired two shots at a window, before apparently running out of bullets, Jose said. He said the boys lied to the shooter, telling him they didn't see anything, and then the shooter ran off. Jose's mother expressed gratitude for Landsberry, who she said had never taught her son. "He sacrificed his life to take our kids into safety," Marisela Cazares told "Today." ''I thank him for that. He's a true hero." After the gunfire stopped, parents clung to their teary-eyed children at an evacuation center, while the community struggled to make sense of the latest episode of schoolyard violence to rock the nation less than a year after the massacre in Newtown, Conn. Sparks, a city of roughly 90,000 that sprung out of the railway industry, lies just east of Reno. "It's not supposed to happen here," said Chanda Landsberry, the slain teacher's sister-in-law. "We're just Sparks - little Sparks, Nevada. It's unreal." Investigators were still trying to piece together the chain of events that began around 7:15 a.m. Monday, 15 minutes before classes were set to begin for roughly 700 students in the 7th and 8th grades. "As you can imagine, the best description is chaos," Reno Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson said. "It's too early to say whether he was targeting people or going on an indiscriminate shooting spree." It was no shock to family members that Landsberry - a married military veteran with two stepdaughters - would take a bullet. "To hear that he was trying to stop that is not surprising by any means," Chanda Landsberry said. She added his life could be summed up by his love of family, his students and his country. On his school website, Michael Landsberry posted a picture of a brown bear and took on a tough-love tone, telling students, "I have one classroom rule and it is very simple: 'Thou Shall Not Annoy Mr. L.'" "The kids loved him," Chanda Landsberry said. Sparks Mayor Geno Martini said Landsberry served two tours in Afghanistan with the Nevada National Guard and was well known in the school community. "He proudly served his country and was proudly defending the students at his school," he said. The mayor praised the quick response from officers who arrived at the scene within 3 minutes of the initial 911 calls to find the shooter with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. "They got it under control very quickly and shut down the scene," said Martini, who urged listeners on a local radio station hours after the shooting to be sure all guns in their homes are locked away safely. "I couldn't understand how this kid got a gun," he said. "I'm sure his parents didn't give it to him." Students from the middle school and neighboring elementary school were evacuated to the nearby high school, and classes were canceled. The middle school will remain closed for the week along with an adjacent elementary school. "We came flying down here to get our kids," said Mike Fiorica, who came to the evacuation center to meet up with his nephew, a Sparks Middle school student. "You can imagine how parents are feeling. You don't know if your kid's OK." The violence erupted nearly a year after a gunman horrified the nation by opening fire in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., leaving 26 dead. The Dec. 14 shooting ignited debate over how best to protect the nation's schools and whether armed teachers should be part of that equation. The Washoe County School District, which oversees Sparks Middle School, held a session in the spring in light of the Connecticut tragedy to educate parents on what safety measures the district takes. The district has its own 38-officer police department. No officers were on campus at the time of the shooting. ___ Associated Press writer Michelle Rindels in Las Vegas and news researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York City contributed to this report.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (German: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) better known as FAU is a public research university in the cities of Erlangen and Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. The name Friedrich-Alexander comes from the university's first founder Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and its benefactor Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach.
In Germany traditional liberal arts universities do not usually have an engineering school or department. However FAU does have a distinct engineering faculty.
FAU is the second largest state university in the state Bavaria. It has five schools, 23 departments, 30 clinical departments, and 20 autonomous departments.[5] There are roughly 12,000 employees at the university.
In winter semester 2012/13 around 35,363 students (including 2850 foreign students) enrolled in the university in 153 fields of study, with about 2/3 are studying at the Erlangen campus and the remaining 1/3 at the Nuremberg campus. FAU is among the 12 largest universities in Germany.
In 2006 and 2007, as part of the national excellence initiative, FAU was chosen by the German Research Foundation as one of the winners in the German Universities Excellence Initiative.[6] FAU is also a member of DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft)[7] and the Top Industrial Managers for Europe[8] network.

The university was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743. Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach (one of the two namesakes of the institution) provided significant support to the early university. From the beginning, the university was a Protestant institution, but over time it slowly secularized. During the Nazi era, the university was one of the first that had a majority of Nazi supporters in the student council. In 1961 the business college in Nuremberg was merged with the university in Erlangen, so that now the combined institution has a physical presence in the two cities. An engineering school was inaugurated in 1966. In 1972 the school of education (normal school) in Nuremberg became part of the university.
Below is a short timeline of the FAU from its inception to its present form:
- 1700-1704: The Schloss of the Margraves at Erlangen is built.
- 1743: Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, issues an edict whereby the university recently founded in Bayreuth is transferred to Erlangen. It has the four faculties of Protestant Theology, Jurisprudence, Medicine and Philosophy.
- 1769: The University at Erlangen is given the new name of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in honour of Alexander, Margrave of Ansbach and Bayreuth.
- 1818: The library of the University of Altdorf, dissolved in 1809, is moved to Erlangen.
- 1824: The first hospital is built.
- 1825: The University moves into the Schloss.
- 1927: Science is taken out of the Faculty of Arts thus creating the new Faculty of Science.
- 1961: The FAU acquires a further faculty through merger with the Nuremberg College of Economics and Social Sciences (founded in 1919). The University's name is now Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
- 1966: Faculty of Engineering Sciences is established. (FAU is thus the first of the traditional universities of the old federal republic to incorporate engineering as an independent faculty.)
- 1972: The Teacher Training College in Nuremberg is incorporated into the Faculty of Education.
- 1993: The FAU celebrates its 250th anniversary.
- 1994: The Free State of Bavaria purchases for the university 4.4 hectares of land in Erlangen previously owned by the US military. The area is now called Röthelheim Campus.
- 1995: The WiSo Faculty (Business Administration, Economics & Social Sciences) celebrates its 75th anniversary.
- 2000: The Bavaria-California Technology Centre opens its headquarters at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.
- 2000: Inauguration of the Research Centre in Clinical Molecular Biology in Erlangen.
- 2001: Opening of the Röthelheim Campus on the site of the old artillery barracks.
- 2004: Inauguration of the new building at the WiSo Faculty of Business Administration, Economics & Social Sciences in Nuremberg.
In February 2007 the senate of the university decided upon a restructuring into five faculties.[9] Since October 2007 the FAU consists of:[10]
- Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Theology
- Faculty of Business, Economics and Law
- Faculty of Medicine
- Faculty of Sciences
- Faculty of Engineering
The following faculties were part of the university (sorted in the order in which they were founded):
- Theological faculty
- Law faculty
- Medical faculty
- Philosophical faculty I (philosophy, history, and social sciences)
- Philosophical Faculty II (languages and literature)
- Science faculty I (mathematics and physics)
- Science faculty II (biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutics)
- Science faculty III (geography, geology / mineralogy /paleontology)
- Business- and social sciences faculty (1961) in Nuremberg
- Technical Faculty (1966)
- Pedagogical faculty (1972) in Nuremberg
Faculty of Engineering[edit]
In 1962, after lengthy debate, the Bavarian parliament finally decided to establish a Faculty of Engineering in Erlangen.[11] Then, the University of Erlangen thus won out against the city of Nuremberg, which, for decades, had been demanding the establishment of a College of Engineering in Nuremberg. Since the expansive areas of building land required for this project were not available in the center of Erlangen, the foundations for a new University campus were laid in the south east of the town in 1964. The formal establishment of the Faculty of Engineering, the seventh faculty at the Friedrich-Alexander University, took place in 1966. What was unique at the time was that the various Engineering departments were subsumed, as a faculty, into the main university rather than constituting an independent university.
Present status[edit]
The Faculty of Engineering at FAU is a young educational and research institution. Since its foundation in 1966, the Faculty has gained an outstanding national and international reputation. The Faculty boasts expertise in a range of future-oriented areas of study and research across the five departments:
- Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering.
- Chemical and Biological Engineering.
- Materials Science and Engineering. This Department was ranked at 10th best in the world according to the Quantitative Ranking of Engineering Disciplines (QRED).[12][13]
- Mechanical Engineering.
- Computer Science.
The Faculty has close connections both with other natural sciences as well as with traditional subjects at the university. The Faculty of Engineering currently concentrates on the following research fields:
- New Materials and Processes.
- Life Science Engineering and Medicine Technology.
- Energy Technology and Mobility.
- Modeling and Simulation.
- Optics and Optical Technologies.
- Information- and Communication Technologies.
- Micro-/Nanoelectronics.
The Faculty of Engineering has a firm commitment to the unity and freedom of teaching and research as an essential precondition for scientific progress. The prioritizing of teaching and research is realized through the principle of teaching based on research, and the faculty plays a significant role in social and technological developments. The faculty promotes knowledge transfer, mobility and exchange within research and teaching in cooperation with numerous universities worldwide. Partnerships with businesses, research institutions, as well as international educational and cultural institutes are well established.
University research centres[edit]
Below is a list of research centres which are directly or indirectly affiliated to the university:
- Research Institute for Cooperative Studies at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg

Being in the vicinity of the Erlangen University and the Audio & Multimedia division of Fraunhofer IIS, this location enables close scientific collaboration in an ideal way. In addition, it allows for use of the modern infrastructure of Fraunhofer IIS including acoustics labs, recording studios or digital cinema labs.
Cluster of Excellence Engineering of Advanced Materials[15][16][edit]
Clusters of Excellence concentrate and focus the research potential at university locations in Germany and, hence, strengthen their international visibility and competitiveness. Their policy is to engage in scientific networking and collaboration in research fields of particular promise for the future. Besides various university institutions, non-university research institutions and industrial partners also play an important role throughout the Clusters. Clusters of Excellence have been conceived to contribute importantly to the respective university's strategic planning and to accelerate the process of setting thematic priorities at universities. Under the Excellence Initiative, a total of 37 Clusters of Excellence receive funding over a period of five years, with each Cluster of Excellence receiving an average of 6.5 million euros per year.
At university of Erlangen-Nürnberg there are two specialist cluster of excellence in the field of material science, lasers and lights.
From Molecules to Materials Innovative[17][edit]
Main research areas are in the field of material science.
Optics and Photonics[18][edit]
The university's Institute of Optics, Information and Photonics bundles a major focus in optical technologies within the faculty of natural sciences and has been the source for the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light. Together with chairs of the engineering faculty, the Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies and the Cluster of Excellence in Advanced Materials, optics and photonics technologies play an important role as a highly interdisciplinary field, attracting several Max Planck Junior Research Groups and Alexander von Humboldt fellows to the institution.

FAU Busan campus[edit]
FAU is the first German university to establish a branch campus in Busan in the Republic of Korea. In November 2009, its campus project received approval from the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The FAU Busan Branch Campus offers a Graduate School with a master degree program in Chemical and Bioengineering and a research center.[22]
In 2014, the university announced its intention of working toward making the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone an educational hub. To this end, FAU Busan works internationally with various companies and universities. [23]
Alexander von Humboldt Professorships[edit]
In 2010 the newly announced professor of physics and co-director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship,[24] Germany's highest-endowed international research award, endowed with € 3.5 million. In the year 2011, the second in a row, FAU communications engineer and researcher Prof. Dr.-Ing Robert Schober (born 1971) was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship, entailed with € 3.5 million,[25][26][27] for an algorithm developed by him which is found in many modern phones today. In 2013, Prof. Oskar Painter received an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship as well. Prof. Painter is another new co-director of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light.
German Excellence Initiative[edit]
The University of Erlangen Nuremberg was successful within the German Universities Excellence Initiative in competing for a "cluster of excellence" and a graduate school.[28] The cluster of excellence, "Engineering of Advanced Materials" focusses on interdisciplinarily developing new materials, joining engineering and natural sciences. The graduate school "Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies" emphasizes a strong focus in optical and photonics technology in the natural sciences, in engineering and the medical sciences and aims for a concise Ph.D. education. It is supplemented with a masters program in the same topics.
Both programs after an in-depth evaluation were extended for the third phase of the German Excellence Initiative in 2012 until 2017. They contribute significantly to the research funding of the university, including five new research buildings, permanent new technical facilities and research and teaching staff. They also aim to increase the international perception of the contributing fields of research in Erlangen.

Advancements in video conferencing technology have continued to propel its usage and adoption. Cost of ownership along with different interoperability barriers have decreased while ease of use and scalability have increased. It's no wonder that 76% of respondents in a recent survey conducted by Polycom and Redshift Research say they use video solutions at work today while 56% of those users participate in at least one call per week.
Video conferencing is quickly becoming the "go to" tool in business today. Check out the infographic below for other interesting facts from the survey including top dos and don'ts during video calls.

It's been five days since a fire tore through the historic Sanders Factory in Highland Park. The fire is still burning five days later because the city doesn't have the money or the gear to keep up the fight.On Wednesday, we found a lone fire truck with the hose running. There wasn't a single firefighter on the scene. And the hose is barely stronger than a garden hose.We're told the city doesn't want the roof collapsing on firefighters, so they just let hose run until the fire goes out.The city has seen massive cuts to all city services in recent years and the fire department is no exception.Click on the video player to watch Charlie LeDuff's report.

You will be paying a lot more if you get caught speeding in Lawrence in the near future.
Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve hefty hikes for speeding fines in the Lawrence city limits.
Fees will nearly dearly double from $50 to $80. Court costs are in addition to this.
Most of the drivers told KCTV5 that they think it's a bad idea.
"I don't see why they need to do it." Lawrence driver Patti Smith said. "We pay enough taxes to live here."
Lawrence will become of the most expensive places in the area to get a ticket. Baldwin City's ticket is already $160.
According to a recent study the city conducted, the increase simply puts Lawrence on par with similar-sized communities.
However, the study shows the fee hikes will actually land Lawrence atop the list of areas cities.
A fine for a ticket combined with court costs in Lawrence will set you back $140.
By comparison, it would run $97 in Manhattan and just $77 in Shawnee.
Motorcyclist Skyler Criswell was skeptical before Tuesday night's vote.
"I don't think it's a good thing for the residents, but it's probably good for city construction," Criswell told KCTV5.
Still, other drivers say if it encourages drivers to slow down, they're all for it.
"I think certainly we can raise the fees, it will keep our traffic slower and are community safer," claims Randall Eisman.

Moving On
by Jerome Armstrong, Mon Jul 09, 2007 at 09:44:43 AM EDT
LOL, OpenLeft gives the Open Diss to MyDD by not including this website in their blogroll, but I'm glad that Chris was able to come on MyDD to tout the launch. As Ari Melber writes, it's a partnership between someone that's been a player in the more traditional liberal groups, Mike Lux, and Bowers and Stoller, coming out of the blogosphere. As long as Stoller can self-edit himself of name-calling; the blog can resist ideological purity rants that claim moral authority; and PFAW will financially support it; it will be successful.
It seems that Lux is enaged in a bit of revisionist history, in claiming that the "birth of a movement" one which blogs like MyDD and DailyKos are involved in, actually has it's roots in the 1990's effort Lux and his "colleagues at PFAW and a few Clintonites like Carville and Stan Greenberg" were doing. Who knew!
The notion that Moveon's petition is the birth, which Stoller has also voiced, is less suspect, but needs a clarification and historical education. I was online at the time, and remember the online petiton. It was decidingly non-partisan, as was the original slogan to "Censure and Moveon". It was presented with web pages that had moderate Republicans partnering with the effort. The Moveon that has evolved out of that time is a very different language.
The general gist of this, of people-powered politics and organizing outside of the traditional political structure, is much more accurate while talked about in 'waves' of involvement, rather than a birth. And each wave has things that were not involved previously.
I tire of all this "movement" language altogether; besides, move over, we are all beached; Obama owns the movement now.

Brief, January 2014
Energy insecurity (EI) reflects an inability to adequately meet basic household heating, cooling, and energy needs. EI is a pervasive and often-overlooked problem for low-income families with children. Conceptually, EI is a multi-dimensional construct that describes the interplay between structural conditions of housing and the costs of household energy. This brief describes the extent of economic EI, — disproportionate share of household income allocated to utility expenses among families with children, by family income, demographic characteristics, and geographical area, using the 2011 American Community Survey.
