    The application of digital imaging to sculpture is a relatively recent phenomenon and such image making a a photographic extension, especially as many of the inputs are photographic in nature. Michael Rees' October 2009 exhibition called "Model Behavior" at the Deborah Colton Gallery in Houston, Texas, allows us to wonder, whether or not the opposing poles of figurative and abstract are still valid for sculptural criticism. Rees also shows different aspects beyond the widely understood notations of optical reduction and non-objectivity. Rees uses visually recognizable and inchoate forms. He also includes video, performance, and photography as reminders of his imaging sources.
    Rees has been an innovator and advocate for artistic uses of digital imaging technologies as evidenced by the inclusion of his writings and art in Edward Shanken's Art and Electronic Media, arguably the definitive text on digital technologies used in the service of art. Rees's work from the last decade have been slick-surfaced and realized through digital modeling and computer-numeric controlled and rapid-prototype.The Sculptural User Interface (SUI), models text in a virtual 3D environment to make chains of characters and stereo images. As further clues by their crude polygon artifact, the sculpted fingers and feet come from Rees's digital animations that are first realized as digital prototypes and altered by the very physical casting and handwork.

    In pretty much all libraries today, there will be many people using the library then those that come through the door. Patrons are accessing resources and services virtually, to the extend where people don't even use the actual library at all. It has challenged libraries to find creative ways to provide comparable library services in the online medium, essentially making their web presence a virtual library branch.
    One service all libraries provide to patrons is instruction, whether they are teaching patrons how to use a database or create e-mail account. However, this instruction still takes place only face to face or via email. For the virtual services to be comparable to those given in person, they need to find ways to provide instruction is close as possible to what a patron would get at the library. They can do this by a screencast, which is pretty much like a movie taken of your computers' desktop. It shows everything you do, and allows you to do post-production editing of the recording content so you can create a more polished and concise product. Screencasting is great for library tutorials, the show the librarians going into the database and executing searches. It appeals to all learning styles since it can contain visual, audio, and hands-on components. In addition to offering screencasts on using local resourves, such as the catalog and databases, it also has screencasts on how to subscribe to RRS feeds and connect wirelessly.

    Electratherm's closet-size device is the first machine to power generators with heat wasted as low as 2000 F, that is the temperature given off by common chillers or boilers in office buildings. As the heat boils refrigerants into a pressurized gas, it spins to small rotors.
    Most people in the world cook over open fires or charcoal or biomass stoves. These burn fuel incompletely and produces carbon monoxide and smoke that can cause 1.5 million deaths a year. Envirofit's Cookstove burns easily found wood but does more than 80% and uses half as much fuel.
