...composed by Clark’s husband Stefan Hakenberg, who also received his Ph.D. from Harvard. Each song had six or seven different movements, separated by what looked like very complicated tuning processes. The zithers can chime and shimmer at some points and call to mind a pedal steel or blues guitar at others. The instruments are mainly plucked, though they were also hit with drumsticks and scraped to create a swishing sound.After the show, audience members were invited down to the stage to try their hand at playing a zither.The newest members of the ensemble, Yi-Chieh...
...northern Virginia knew that our infrastructure needed investment and that capacity hadn't kept pace with demand. It hasn't helped that many state politicians have been just as reluctant as Congress to raise gas taxes.

Annoyed with that smidgen of rust in your car's wheel well? Then put yourself in the shoes of the nation's oil and natural gas pipeline operators, who monitor nearly 600,000 miles of high-pressure steel pipelines--every square inch susceptible to corrosion-induced failures, the kind that can lead to leaks or explosions. And very ugly ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER headlines. Not everyone's complaining, though. The industry's nightmare has been a boon to companies that prevent and repair pipeline rust, typically through a process called cathodic protection...

Or that the welded-steel sculptor David Smith spent time on an auto assembly line. With the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, it's not so easy at first to connect what he does now-create works that invite you to play with fields of colored light or with lenses and mirrors or with your own understandings of how you see-with what...
