The Toxic Terror Tour Featuring Twiztid from Psychopathic Records. Protégés of the Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit-area rap duo Twiztid based their act on a similarly theatrical, outrageous, makeup-heavy image and an obsession with serial-killer horror films. Jamie Madrox and the Monoxide Child cast themselves as psychotic axe murderers on their 1998 debut album, Mostasteless, which was reissued with new artwork and extra tracks a year later in the wake of ICP's rise to national notoriety. Twiztid's second album, Freek Show, was released on Halloween 2000 in conjunction with ICP's Bizzar/Bizaar sets; Mirror Mirror followed two years later. The Green Book hit the shelves in 2003 with Man's Myth, Vol. 1 landing in 2005. The duo toured extensively throughout the States in the early 2000s, developing a small cult following throughout the Midwest in particular.

Web 2.0 and social computing are changing the way people use and perceive the Internet as well as the way they work and play. When users are no longer simply consumers of information, and become active producers and contributors, what are the implications for information science? How are social computing and Web 2.0 trends affecting the work of information professionals? What current research and applications are shaping future directions? ASIS&T 2007 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from all aspects of information science, industry, academe, and information professions for lively discussions and debates about the social aspects of information, about all things 2.0 (or looking to the future) or higher

Gilbert Proesch and George Passmore, two sculptors who met in college, have been creating work for the last forty years that, according to TimeOut London, "tap into public opinion at just the right time." Confronting the punk anger and racial tensions of the '70s to consumer capitalism in the '80s to the terrorism fears of today, the artists' brightly colored photomontages, though comprised of images gathered within walking distance of the artists' home on London's East Side, are raw examinations of human experience. 'Gilbert and George' features 200 works that trace the stylistic and emotional development of the artists--now icons as the central figures in their art.

Have you ever wanted to use your Graphic Card GPU for something else? nVidia's 8800 line of graphics cards have up to 128 streaming processors and can perform some operations 500x faster than your cpu can. This drastic shift in performance is opening up new options in research, web services and desktop applications. There are a world of interesting applications for GPUs that range from physics simulations, DNA folding and docking, and some groups are even experimenting with artificial intelligence engines on the graphics cards. GPUs are an exciting and disruptive technology that can either make you 500x more productive in your efforts, or allow them to happen at up to 1/500th the cost. This discussion lecture will be given by Micheal Garland of nVidia and the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign.
