Justin Gatlin talked a big game before a recent race with the world's fastest sprinter, stepping up his boasting simply to bait Usain Bolt.
Usually, that's not a wise move. And yet the American backed up running his mouth by churning his legs as he blazed right by the Jamaican during a competition in Rome nearly two weeks ago. Bolt rarely gets caught—especially after an early lead.
With that, Gatlin believes he may have energized his adversary.
But Gatlin's driven, too, since all the headlines after the race centered on Bolt possibly losing a step rather than Gatlin gaining ground on the Olympic champion.
Gatlin's itching for a rematch at worlds later this summer on an even bigger stage and with more eyes watching. First, though, he has to earn his spot at nationals later this week in Des Moines, Iowa.
"To me, beating Bolt was just another check list, 'All right, I beat him. I have to do it again and again,'" said Gatlin, who is considering running the 200 at nationals as well. "Bolt is one of the guys I have to get by to reach my goals of being dominant and winning big races."
His first step is securing one of the three U.S. positions in the 100—no easy feat given the talent-laden field that includes American record holder Tyson Gay, who's fully healed from a surgically repaired hip that hampered him last season. Mike Rodgers, Ryan Bailey and Walter Dix are also in the mix for a spot at worlds in Moscow in August.
"Probably the most competitive nationals I've been to in my life," Gatlin said. "We all have fast times to our names."
But not everyone has beaten Bolt. Precious few have since the world record holder began dominating track's signature race.
Bolt recently shrugged off any suggestion he's slowing down, pointing out the loss to Gatlin "doesn't say much."
After all, it was just one race and he typically saves his best for the bright lights of major meets.
Then there's this to consider: Each time Bolt has lost, he's raised his game. When Bolt was beaten at the Jamaican Olympic trials by teammate Yohan Blake last summer, he roared back at the London Games for his second straight 100 crown.
"If anything, (losing) definitely lights a fire under him and his camp," Gatlin said. "If you get beat not running very fast, like he's usually known to do, it stings even more."
The upset certainly caught the attention of Gay.
"A good boost (for Gatlin), but at the same time, everybody knows the world record holder wasn't ready and that he's waiting to perform on the big stage," said Gay, who's tied with Blake as the second-fastest sprinter on the planet courtesy of his finish of 9.69 seconds in 2009 (Bolt has the record of 9.58). "Until you dominate on the big stage, it really doesn't matter."
That June day in Rome will remain special for Gatlin, a highlight he ranks up there with winning gold at the 2004 Olympic Games and taking bronze in London last August.
When Bolt broke out of the blocks, it looked as if the race was over. After all, Bolt hardly ever gets a good start and when he does he never gets caught.
Except this time.
Midway through the race, Gatlin actually flew past him and then out-leaned Bolt at the finish to win by a hundredth of a second.
Only, the cameras began following Bolt around the track.
"I was confused. I think he was, too," Gatlin said. "Then all of a sudden, my picture showed up on the scoreboard. I was so happy. I was clapping, thinking, 'All right, we're putting (winning times) down.'"
After the race, Bolt came over to Gatlin and they had a brief exchange.
"Told me good job," Gatlin recounted. "Other than that, no real words were used between us."
In the days following his win, Gatlin scanned papers and websites, just to gauge Bolt's reaction.
"Said he wasn't as motivated as he should be," Gatlin said.
Not getting his proper due from Bolt?
"There's no such thing as a one-off race and you get your respect," said Gatlin, a former star at the University of Tennessee who's training in Florida under coach Dennis Mitchell. "You could come across the line as an Olympic champion and people are still going to doubt you as a fluke. I've been there before.
"You can come across the line as a world champion and people will doubt you as a fluke. Been there. This ball game is all about consistency and proving yourself day in and day out. You just have to keep trying to build."
Not all that long ago, Gatlin was the sprinter everyone was trying to catch. He tested positive for excessive testosterone in 2006, leading to a four-year ban. Since his reinstatement on July 24, 2010, the 31-year-old has been steadily sprinting his way back into top form.
He knows there will always be skeptics, those who will question each and every performance. He's made peace with that.
"You don't have to like me. I don't have to be the nicest guy on the block. You don't have to cheer for me," Gatlin said. "But know when I step on that line, I'm going to run you to that line."
These days, he's focused on his starts, feeling that's the last thing he needs to sharpen to keep ahead of the field.
"My starts are good," Gatlin said. "But my finishes have been the finishes of the old Justin. I'm so happy to have that back. Put the old Justin together with the new Justin and I think it's going to be something impressive."

Guadalajara International Airport is the main airport of Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city. Located 16 kilometers south of the city center, the airport handled 8.7 million passengers in 2014. It is Mexico's third busiest airport and second busiest for cargo flights. The airport recently added a second terminal to increase capacity. As part of this MXN 55 million project, CH2M designed a complex, curved canopy with leaning columns.
CH2M used RAM Elements for the analysis and design of the principal structure, which allowed the team to build a 3D model of the building. This Bentley application enabled the team to apply the latest steel design codes and incorporate technical aspects such as secondary effects, spectral analysis, and foundation designs.
Using RAM Elements, CH2M achieved an economical design for the Terminal 2 canopy, which contributed to completing the work on the expansion project more quickly than expected. These efficiencies reduced the cost of project delivery for the Guadalajara International Airport expansion.
RAM Elements includes modules for connections and foundations, which enabled team members to share information more efficiently and export models to other programs. The models yielded reliable results for the weight of materials, especially for the structural profiles, and helped optimize the design of the structure.
"RAM Elements has modules for steel connections, walls, and foundations, which make it easier to design and analyze structures. It also features finite element analysis and 3D modeling."

Israel Houghton - Gospel Music
WASHINGTON (AP) — Gospel singer Israel Houghton jokingly describes himself as a "Half-rican" American.
Houghton says his white mother was only 17 when she shocked her family with the news that she was carrying a black man's baby, and her openly racist father urged her to have an abortion.
She refused, but abused drugs and almost lost custody of Israel before giving her life to God.
On his new CD, "Jesus At The Center," Houghton and his band New Breed reach out to other troubled souls with songs like "It's Not Over."
Israel Houghton is on one of gospel music's biggest tours this week, performing with Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp and Donnie McClurkin. The King's Men Tour has shows this week in Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Brooklyn, N.Y.

Special teamers are fairly disposable anyway.
When they give teams headaches, small issues can become big ones.
That has to be at least part of the reason former NFL kicker Jeff Reed's on the outside today, though the 33-year-old said he wants to come back.
Asked by Tom Sorensen of the Charlotte Observer why he's no longer employed in the league, Reed replied: "I don't know. There were a couple of things I got in trouble with the law, very minor."
Specifically, he was cited for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief in February 2009 for breaking a paper towel holder in the bathroom of a convenience store. Eight months later, he was cited for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
Then a missed field goal against the Patriots in November, and he was released, ending a nine-year run in which he became the team's second-leading scorer. He bounced through a short stint with the 49ers, and was in Seahawks camp in 2011, but hasn't gotten a call lately.
Now, he's back home in Charlotte working out, hoping for another chance.
"A lot of people I know, at every position, once they get cut, they're done," Reed said. "They turn into lazy bums and they gain a lot of weight and they don't pursue their dream anymore.
"But it's my dream to get back. I made plenty of money and I have two rings. But the thing about it is when you're competitive and you can do something, why not do it?"
He also seems to understand now his behavior might be the reason the phone doesn't ring.
"I realize an opportunity might have slipped away," Reed said. "It really focuses me."
Whether it convinces anyone to give him a shot remains to be seen, when there are younger, cheaper options available. And as punter Chris Kluwe is finding out in Minnesota, not everyone is crazy about a kicker or a punter that stands out in any way. Whether it's fair or not doesn't matter. Reed's case shows that it's real.

Student or Learner
If you do not mind, could you help me with this problem?
"Do not make yourself frustrated because of what is not yours."
If we suppose the sentence is okay, can we say Because of what is not yours modifies frustrated or make and if you choose between them, there is a meaning difference?
I think that there is a meaning difference between each different modification.
"I will make her happy with this money."
1) "I will make her happy with this money."
-> I will make her happy, using the money.
2) "I will make her happy with this money."
-> I will teach her how to be satisfied with the money.
I am sorry about this strange question, and I just made these sentences so you might not use any of them but all of a sudden, this makes me uneasy. Please help me out.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - His best pitch of the night looked so good, Jordan Zimmermann wanted to see it again.
So the husky right-hander went straight to the replay machine in the Washington Nationals' clubhouse.
He watched once again as Kansas City's Eric Hosmer flailed hopelessly at a wicked slider, striking out in the first inning and setting the tone for a 7-2 victory over the Royals on Saturday night.
"I just watched it on replay. It started off as a ball. It really went off the plate. I'm not real sure why he swung at it, but it almost hit him in the back foot," said Zimmermann (15-7), who tied St. Louis' Adam Wainwright for the NL lead in wins. "I threw a lot of good sliders tonight."
Rebounding from one of his worst career outings, Zimmermann went 7 2-3 innings, allowing two runs and eight hits.
He struck out seven and walked just one. After George Kottaras singled with two out in the fourth, Zimmermann retired 11 straight until Emilio Bonifacio walked with one out in the eighth.
"I had four pitches working and when I have that going, it's usually a fun night to be out there," he said. "And the offense got some runs early and allowed me to settle in."
Ian Desmond hit his 18th home run as the Nationals won their fifth in a row, all on the road.
The Nationals have won 11 of 15 overall while the Royals have been staggering.
After a 19-5 surge gave fans hope for an end to a 27-year playoff drought, they've lost seven in a row and 10 of 12.
"It's frustrating," left fielder Alex Gordon said. "I don't like losing streaks and I don't like losing streaks after we've been playing so well. We're professionals. We'll keep playing and grinding."
Wade Davis (6-10) allowed seven runs and eight hits in six innings, including Desmond's two-run home run in the sixth. He walked three and struck out four.
The Nationals, who scored seven runs in the fourth inning of a come-from-behind 11-10 victory on Friday, scored four in the same inning against Davis.
Ryan Zimmerman walked leading off and sped to third on a single by Bryce Harper, who had an RBI single in the first.
Wilson Ramos hit a sacrifice fly, Tyler Moore delivered an RBI double and Chad Tracy brought in two more runs with a bloop single.
"We're putting good at-bats together, seeing the ball well, pitching well, playing good defense," Desmond said. "It's just been a matter of time. We're starting to get hot. Guys are starting to see the ball better."
The Royals bunched three singles off Zimmermann in the third, including Hosmer's run-scoring hit into left-center. All nine of KC's hits were singles.
Fernando Abad relieved Zimmermann with two out and one on in the eighth and allowed an RBI single to Mike Moustakas before striking out David Lough to end the inning with the bases loaded.
With the victory, the Nationals guaranteed a winning interleague record for the third straight season.
NOTES: Washington outfielder Jayson Werth, who hit a two-run home run Friday night, sat out with an infection between the toes of his right foot. He was hoping to play today. ... In a salute to the Negro leagues, the Royals wore the uniform of the Kansas City Monarchs while the Nationals dressed as the Washington Homestead Grays, a rematch of the 1942 Negro Leagues World Series. ... Alex Gordon recorded his league-leading 11th outfield assist when he threw out Ryan Zimmerman in the first inning trying to stretch a single into a double.

Big Tit Anal Trio
Stephanie Stalls walks into a bedroom and checks out how her tight, green mini-dress looks wrapped around her super-busty body. Her panties are nowhere to be seen. Stephanie sits in front of a full-length mirror and approves. Meanwhile, two horndogs wait for her downstairs. But first, a quickie. Stephanie inserts a toy into her pussy and works it, then inches another toy into her butthole. She pumps both holes, talking dirty and looking at herself in the mirror, her flexible legs in the air. All worked up for cock, she takes the toys out and adjusts her dress, her holes now ready for her threesome. "These boys don't know what they're getting but they're in for a real treat," Stephanie says as she walks out of the room. Stepping down the stairs carefully, she greets her groupies, who were anxious for her to make her entrance. They had no idea that she was heating up her pussy and asshole for their dicks. Stephanie shows them her extreme flexibility by placing one leg on the hand rail. "Are you ready for this, boys?" Stephanie asks them. "I want one in my pussy and one in my ass." Each man takes one of Stephanie's huge, heavy boobs and sucks. They now know they have a wildcat on their hands.

A Butthole Boning For The Busty Stripper
Exotic dancer Stephanie Stalls knows everything there is to know about turning guys on. In her stage shows around the USA, the brunette from Kentucky makes 'em sweat as they watch her swing her big, heavy boobs and grind her bubble butt. They would love to fuck her the way she is fucked in her SCORE videos. Her blue cardigan straining under the pressure of those massive knockers, Stephanie kicks off the action by getting on the floor and sticking her ass up. Rocky pulls her pants down, revealing thong underwear buried in her butt crack--a border of fabric between two slappable ass cheeks. Those cheeks are too tempting. Rocky spanks Stephanie and makes the skin red. He spreads the cheeks apart so he can examine her butthole. Stephanie will be feeling his cock slide inside there soon enough. Stephanie stands up while Rocky finger-bangs her booty hole. She gets on the couch and opens her legs wide. Using two fingers on Stephanie, he sticks his middle finger in her butt and his forefinger in her pink pussy and pistons both holes. Meanwhile, a bit further up, Stephanie's naked, big tits wobble and quiver. Sitting up, Stephanie does something that was invented at SCORE years ago, the under-the-bra tit-fuck. Between tit-wanks, Stephanie licks his balls and sucks his shaft. What a woman. Stephanie has the sex drive of six ordinary women combined. Stephanie wants to get fucked and bends over the couch. Rocky rams it to her from behind, Stephanie moving back and forth as hard as he's thrusting. Stephanie climbs on top for a cowgirl ride and really pumps hard and fast, getting every centimeter all the way in into her pussy. Now it's time to fill Stephanie's asshole. She gets on her back and her fuck friend begins pumping her butt, slowly at first, then building up speed and getting in deep. He pulls out of her ass and slides into her pussy to fill her pink box. As he fucks the bra-masher fast with deep strokes, Stephanie feels him tense and urges him to blow his load inside her, climaxing a spectacular coupling. Stephanie Stalls: a busty star of super-sex!

Big Southern Charms
Stephanie Stalls has big fuckin' tits she likes to suck hard herself. She expects a guy to suck them hard before, during and even after a dicking. She has a dirty mouth that's natural for jack-off encouragement, as well as tight pussy and butthole she loves to have stretched by toys and cocks. Stephanie's added cam shows to her resume of stripping, hardcore and photo shoots. "I love to be watched! All you have to do is ask me to find out what else!" Stephanie's boob play in this video is wild. She smashes her big jugs together with enough force to crush cans and pulls and yanks them hard like she's making taffy. She twerks and grinds her ass cheeks in a way that doesn't leave a dry seat in the strip clubs she dances in. After this workout, southern charmer Stephanie jumps naked into bed, spreads her flexible legs wide and pounds her "snappin' pussy" with her fingers and one of her toys, licking her sticky woman juice off the toy after she explodes. "Playing with my clit makes me cum the hardest," Stephanie added.

Bust You In The Face
Being a big-bust feature, an endangered species these days on the strip club circuit, Stephanie shows off her grinding and striptease talents at the beginning of this video. She takes pleasure in giving Enzo a woody. Who says big tits don't turn a guy's brain into a jelly donut? After his own private show, Stephanie demonstrates what a great blow job artist she is. And that's just for starters. Then the pole work, and Stephanie is as hot as we imagined. "I'm really aggressive with my dances, and the guys love it. Every so often, I'll go a little slow and be sensual, but I like being aggressive. I'm the same way in sex although making a video with a stranger is a lot different than having sex in your home. But I have the mind of a porn star," the busty Kentuckian says. She loves male attention. "I want to be looked at. I'm used to being looked at all the time. I mean, I'm in SCORE magazine and the website because I want to be looked at. I go online and read the comments about me."

Backdoor Babes Of SCORELAND
Anal sex. Booty boinking. Greek-style. Bum bonking. A sex survey published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine reported that according to researchers' recent results, 40% of girls aged 18-24 had tried anal sex. Compare that to the results in 1992 when 16% of the same age group had experimented with anal. That's a huge difference in only 23 years. And according to their current "orgasm data," 94% of those girls who have anal sex reached the Big O. Some of the leading major leaguers in backdoor boffing are showcased in Backdoor Babes Of SCORELAND. The rump raiderettes in this ode to exploring the tush tunnel are Brook Ultra, Holly Brooks, Angel Wicky and Stephanie Stalls. They're ass-tounding, big-titted girls who will go where many choose to not go. As SCORE Hall-of-Famer and anal lover Daphne Rosen once put it, "Good anal sex depends on if the guy knows what he's doing. Some guys suck at anal. They can't figure out how to do it, and it's not pleasurable. When a guy can handle himself, it's all good."

I must've been breast-fed when I was a baby. My own don't turn me on, but I like looking at other women's breasts. They turn me on." Stephanie: "I want the guys to enjoy looking at me. And I know all guys aren't attracted to the same type of woman so some of them might not like me, but some of them do. I do my best to turn them on. I have nice boobs, a nice butt. Nice pussy. I have the mind of a porn star." Kitana: "I think my boobs have a nice shape. A lot of women have told me that. I call my pussy 'princess' or 'cookie.' 'I want to eat your cookie.' Or cosita. That's a Spanish word. It means 'that little thing.'"

Stephanie Stalls
18:20 Mins.
When girls come to SCORELAND, they usually don't pack light. That's true for Stephanie Stalls. Her suitcases are loaded with sexy outfits, bras, panties and shoes. She's a salesgirl's dream customer. Stephanie also packs away a few ladies' pussy and anal toys. She removes the batteries during her travels so they don't accidentally start vibrating when they're packed away. Stephanie first came to SCORE as a blonde. Then she went brunette. Stephanie's now a redhead with hair so bright that sunglasses are recommended. She says the new color is more eye-catching. Her big 40-inch tits on a diminutive 5'2" frame are still the number-one attention-grabbers. In this video, we get to see Stephanie try on some of those hot, skimpy clothes. Her busty little body stretches out her tops to the maximum. Pulling her panties aside, Stephanie licks her fingers and rubs her pussy. She needs more so she reaches into her suitcase and takes out one of her little friends. She runs a tongue over it and slides it deep inside her wet, pink hole.

Are incentive challenges a cost-efficient way to drive innovation in aerospace and defense?
Whether it is government budgets or corporate profits, when money gets tight in a downturn, investment in research and development suffers. The effects may not be immediate, but the impact on turning ideas into innovations and innovations into products can be profound and long-lasting.
In the search for more cost-efficient—and quicker—ways to innovate, government and industry are turning to the age-old mechanism of offering prizes to spur innovation and solve problems, with the modern twist of using the Internet and social media to cast a wide net in the search for solutions.
The appeal of prizes is clear. They are a way to draw ideas from people who would not normally do business with a government or corporation, a way to gather diverse views on how to solve a problem—and they only pay out if successful. They can provide significant financial leverage for the sponsor, with the combined investment by competitors far exceeding the prize purse.
Prizes have a long history of producing innovations. The Longitude Prize was offered by the British government in 1714, with rewards of up to £20,000 (worth more than $2 million today) for a practical method of determining a ship's longitude to within 30 nm. English clockmaker John Harrison won with his invention of the marine chronometer.
In 1795, Napoleon offered a 12,000-franc prize for a better way of preserving food to feed his invading armies. Confectioner Nicolas Appert won with a method for heating and sealing food in champagne bottles—giving birth to the canning industry. There was even a £1,000 prize, offered by the U.K.'s Royal Agriculture Society in 1852, for a fertilizer to replace expensive imported Peruvian guano. There is no record of a winner.
Aviation prizes began even before the Wright brothers' first powered flight, with Alberto Santos-Dumont winning the 100,000-franc Deutsch Prize in 1901 by flying an airship on an 11-km (6.8-mi.) course around the Eiffel Tower. But the role of prizes in advancing aviation really took off when the British Daily Mail newspaper offered £1,000 for the first flight across the English Channel—a prize won by Louis Bleriot in July 1909.
Between 1906 and 1930, Daily Mail offered more than 15 aviation prizes, leading to the first transatlantic flight in 1919 by John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown, and Amy Johnson's solo flight from England to Australia in 1930. Others joined the prize bandwagon: Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper offered $25,000 for the first nonstop transpacific flight, won by Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon in 1931.
But the most influential aviation competition, then and later, was the $25,000 Orteig Prize for the first nonstop flight between New York and Paris. First offered in 1919, it was won in May 1927 by American aviator Charles Lindbergh in the Spirit of St. Louis. After his solo, single-engine flight across the Atlantic, interest in aviation soared, with dramatic increases in pilot licenses, aircraft registrations and airport construction.
While competitions continued, notably the Schneider Trophy seaplane races in the U.K. and Bendix Trophy air races in the U.S., their role in accelerating advances in aviation declined as the industry matured. Instead they pushed at the outer limits of aviation, notably the Kremer Prizes for human-powered aircraft, established in 1959, and the Sikorsky Prize for human-powered helicopters, first offered in 1980.
But Lindbergh and the Orteig Prize served as the inspiration when aerospace challenges began a rennaissance in the mid-1990s with the Ansari X Prize for private suborbital spaceflight. By then the industry was losing its luster as an innovator, as least in the eyes of the public and politicians. First offered in 1995, the $10 million Ansari X Prize was won in October 2004 by the SpaceShipOne, built by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites and financed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
NASA had established its Centennial Challenges program by that point to run prize competitions ranging from astronaut gloves to lunar rovers. The agency awarded $2 million in prizes to Masten Space Systems and Armadillo Aerospace in the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander X Challenge, and $1.47 million to teams from Pipistrel Aircraft and the University of Stuttgart in the Google-sponsored Green Flight Challenge.
But not all aerospace prizes have been a success. In 2004, hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow offered a $50 million prize for the first privately funded U.S. team to fly a reusable capsule capable of carrying five astronauts and docking with a Bigelow Aerospace inflatable space module. He even threw in the offer of $200 million in conditional purchase agreements and $800 million in options for flights of a selected vehicle, but the prize fizzled in the face of a lack of interest.
While prizes have been used for centuries, there has been little research into why they work—and when they do not—says Luciano Kay, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His new book, Technical Innovation and Prize Incentives, is an analysis of recent aerospace prize competitions, including the Ansari X Prize, Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander X Challenge and the $30 million Google Lunar X Prize, now underway with the goal of putting a privately funded rover on the Moon's surface by 2015.
There are two key characteristics of prizes, Kay says. First is that they do not emerge from a vacuum. "It is not like you launch a prize and there is nothing there. Always there is something there," whether technologies or markets, to build a challenge upon. Second is that publicity plays a major role, "not just for competitors, but also sponsors. Government agencies that launch prizes are considered more innovative," he says.
Motivations to enter competitions are as diverse as the participants, and the cash purse is not the most important, says Kay. "There is more to a competition than the prize," he says, noting the sponsor can be a key factor. "NASA is completely different to X Prize. It is known for aerospace and known for contracting opportunities. And you are dealing with a government agency, which is completely different to dealing with the private sector."
The U.S. government's increasing use of prize competitions must be seen in the broader context of the Obama administration's push for "open innovation," says Cristin Dorgelo, assistant director for grand challenges at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). Open innovation is the concept of using external as well as internal ideas to advance technology.
"President Obama's 2009 strategy for innovation called for increased use of challenges by all agencies, and the America Competes Reauthorization Act of 2010 granted all federal agencies authority to conduct incentive challenges to spur innovation and solve problems," she says. Since its launch in September 2010, the Challenge.gov portal for public-sector prizes has posted more than 235 offerings from 45 agencies.
NASA, and the Defense and Energy departments have led the field in expanding their use of prizes, and the government has established the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation at NASA to provide guidance on designing, implementing and evaluating prizes. Pilot programs are underway with the Health and Human Services Department, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and others.
Use of prizes is broadening as agencies become more familiar with them, and learn when they make sense. "As experience in the public sector has increased, so has the savvy in designing challenges," says Dorgelo. Competitions can make sense, she says, when the problem is tough or the target audacious, "and you want lots of new minds on a problem, citizen-solvers from other fields." Prizes also appeal "because you pay only for success, which provides security and risk-mitigation for agencies."
As the number of challenges grows, OSTP and the NASA-run center of excellence are capturing the lessons learned. These include how to structure the incentives, which can range from monetary prizes to an advanced market commitment—the promise to buy the resulting innovation—depending on whether a challenge is targeted at students or large manufacturers. Incentives can be "exposure to experts or celebrities, public awareness through marketing and PR, or advice on how to take a product to market," she says.
While many government prizes are targeted at individuals, or university teams, some are aimed at encouraging innovation in existing industries. The Energy Department's SunShot Prize aims to spur low-cost rooftop solar-power installations by offering $10 million in prizes to the first three teams to demonstrate an average of $1/watt for non-hardware installation costs. To win, teams must deploy 5,000 small-scale rooftop systems before the end of 2014. "They are trying to move an entire sector," says Dorgelo.
The government also gets involved in external competitions, she says, citing the X Prize Foundation's Progressive Automotive X Prize, a global competition that in 2008 awarded $10 million to three teams for cars that achieved the equivalent of at least 100 mpg in real-world driving. The competition drew 111 teams and the $5 million top prize was won by Virginia-based Edison2 with its 110-mpg Very Light Car.
Dorgelo also singles out online challenges conducted by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and NASA. AFRL awarded $25,000 to a retired engineer in Peru for a method of stopping a fleeing vehicle at a checkpoint. NASA awarded $30,000 to a retired radar engineer in New Hampshire for an algorithm that predicts solar-particle events "better than NASA's own engineers could," she says.
Based on his research, Kay suggests challenge designers consider some key parameters. First is to offer a set of incentives, not just a cash purse, but also publicity, prestige and contract opportunities. Second is to set a deadline that recognizes prizes tend to attract informally organized teams that not only have to develop the technology, but find resources and hire people. "You have to look at the timeline, and not just the technology availability," he says.
Third is to choose a topic carefully because competitions do not work in every field. "Sometimes challenges can be very difficult to accomplish because of the knowledge base needed to start. For example, a prize for faster-than-light travel might need 50 years of research," he says. "You need pre-existing solutions for the technologies. That tells us about the fields you can apply this to. You cannot find solutions to things that are completely out of this world."
The Ansari X Prize, Kay says, built on research already conducted in supersonic and exoatmospheric flight, most notably by the North American X-15. Similarly, for the Lunar Lander challenge, "something already existed, from Apollo and the McDonnell Douglas DC-X. It was a low-budget competition to increase the efficiency of something that was already in place."
The Google Lunar X Prize, meanwhile, has been designed "to set project management conditions rather than targets for technology," Kay says. "The constraints of budget, source of funding and time set new conditions for managing a project that are in line with an open-source, low-budget approach to spaceflight." This is encouraging competitors to "use open-source technology, things they can find, and not try to do something fancy."
Technology-demonstration competitions like the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's (Darpa) Grand and Urban Challenges for autonomous ground vehicles, and its latest Robotics Challenge for disaster-response robots, are so complex that to compete requires large, multidisciplinary teams. "Our Urban Challenge team involved a very large group of people, the largest we have assembled to work on one particular project because we had to tap so many types of expertise," says Tony Stentz, director of the National Robotics Engineering Center at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).
"The key to a successful challenge is to establish a lofty yet still achievable goal—a high bar to aim for, but not impossibly high," he says. Advancing robotic technology is suited to a prize approach. "At CMU, robotics projects are fast-paced and challenging to begin with, and the challenges breed some good practices in getting down to the nuts and bolts," Stentz says. "Competition really breeds a culture of risk-taking. It's more acceptable to try and fail than in the normal day-to-day business of research."
Setting the bar high "encourages thinking outside the box," he says. "Schedules tend to be accelerated, which forces participants to have a very clear focus, to cut through red tape and get over the usual petty impediments to progress and cut to the chase." He also cites the team-building and "excitement factor" in a challenge —"everyone loves a competition with lofty objectives."
CMU won the Urban Challenge in 2007, and has two teams competing in the Darpa Robotics Challenge with "many faculty involved, with all types of expertise." The cost of such technology-demonstration competitions makes finding the resources "a challenge in itself," says Stentz. While Darpa provided some funding for the Urban Challenge, "we had to raise substantial money to round out the work," he says, adding that publicity, hands-on experience and intellectual property (IP) were reasons sponsors came on board.
"Darpa challenges are structurally different," Kay says. "They have an initial round to identify qualified participants, which increases the chances of finding a better solution." The agency then provides funding to continue development of technologies for a second round of competition—an approach used with both the Urban and Robotics Challenges.
"It is important for this kind of organization to have a set of people with different technologies able to compose different approaches to the same problem, even if they don't get any particular technology or IP at the end," he says. "It's a more expensive approach. With a second round, and judges, the cost can be twice the prize money."
Darpa runs some of the bigger government challenges. The America Competes authorization limits the size of individual prizes to $50 million, but most government challenges offer prizes of $10 million or less. The authority also limits participation to U.S.-based entities. To compete in NASA's Green Flight Challenge, Slovakia's Pipistrel and Germany's University of Stuttgart had to find U.S. partners.
"The U.S. federal government is at the leading edge of the use of incentive prizes," says Dorgelo. While other countries are using prizes, including Canada with a C$100 million ($97.5 million) fund for agricultural challenges and the U.K.'s £1 million ($1.5 million) Big Green Challenge for community-led ideas to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions, "the U.S. is leading in institutionalizing challenges as a standard tool in every agency's toolbox," she says.

Wayland students to compete in Ethics Match 2005
Wayland Baptist University is among 18 Texas college teams competing in Ethics Match 2005, a day of student debates on controversial business ethics issues, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Oct. 28 at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth. The Texas Independent College Fund (TICF) will host the competition.
Ethics Match 2005 is an opportunity for students to display their reasoning skills while debating current issues in business ethics. The debaters will focus on 12 case studies about ethics in business with eight to be provided to the students beforehand. Topics will include drug marketing, insider trading, truth in advertising, accepting gifts, competitive bids, employee theft, HR practices and sales practices.
"We derived the theme of the debates, Consilium Virtusque (Reason with Honor), from the guiding philosophy that thoughtful discussion and reasoned argument are the cornerstones of a liberal arts education," said James R. Dublin, volunteer chairman of the TICF board, who is chairman and CEO of Dublin & Associates, Inc., a San Antonio-based public relations firm.
Wayland will send a team of four students: Alpha Jennings, Vanessa Garcia, Roberto Nass and Rohan Thompson. Dr. Kelly Warren and Dr. Charles Starnes will sponsor the team.
"Our students will be exposed to no only the approaches of other teams, but they will benefit from the feedback they receive from the judges who have confronted these real problems," Starnes said.
The teams will compete in four rounds of hour-long debates. The team matches will run concurrently throughout the day beginning at 9 a.m.; then the top two teams will go to the fifth and final round from 3:45 - 4:45 p.m. Three judges will evaluate the arguments and score each match. The two highest scoring teams will advance to the final round. The 27 judges and moderators are business, civic and education leaders from Fort Worth, Arlington, Lewisville, Plano, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.
The judges will award the match trophy to the team that wins the final match; those team members will also receive individual medals. Plaques will be awarded for second, third and fourth place, and four cash prizes will be given to the winning colleges to continue student/business leader ethics discussions on college campuses.
Other schools participating in Ethics Match 2005 are: Concordia University, Austin; East Texas Baptist University, Marshall; Houston Baptist University; Howard Payne University, Brownwood; LeTourneau University, Longview; Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio; Schreiner University, Kerrville; Southwestern Adventist University, Keene; Southwestern Assemblies of God University, Waxahachie; Southwestern University, Georgetown; St. Edward's University, Austin; Texas Lutheran University, Seguin; Texas Wesleyan University, Fort Worth; University of Dallas, Irving; University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Belton; and University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio.

A concept for the integration of space and physical planning (Flye, B. and Duncan, C.S., 2008)
1. Purpose and Scope
All University buildings and land belong to the University as a whole and are subject to assignment and reassignment to meet the priorities and needs of the institution. The Chancellor delegates authority to the University Space Committee (USC) to approve all allocations of existing university space, while maintaining ultimate authority for the allocation of all university resources. In consultation with the impacted unit, assignments are made by the USC only after careful consideration is given to institutional priorities, needs, and all relevant factors.
2. Space Priorities & Principles
2.1 Exceptions to any common understanding(s) may be granted by the Chancellor on advice from the Executive Council.
2.2 Space decisions will be consistent with ECU Tomorrow and UNC Tomorrow and managed for the common good.
2.3 There are competing demands for space which necessitate group consensus.
2.4 Space will be managed under the "One ECU" philosophy which requires that no unit can operate as an independent domain or division.
2.5 New program space analysis must be coordinated with all affected parties and must address logistics, availability, infrastructure, cost, programmatic needs, efficiency, and effectiveness.
2.6 All affected parties should have equal input to space management requests/decisions.
2.7 All space use is subject to annual efficiency evaluation with a possible outcome of a different use being prescribed.
2.8 At the appropriate time and circumstance, some units and/or individuals may be subjected to a "space-lease-productivity" model.
2.9 Athletic facilities and fields are to be included as a component of space.
2.10 Issues regarding the use of space allocated to the BSOM will be addressed by SPARC and Clinical Services.
3. University Space Committee
3.1 Responsibilities
3.1.1 Analyzing the future physical space requirements for East Carolina University.
3.1.2 Providing the Executive Council and the Chancellor with recommendations for land and space procurement, programmatic space assignment, and space re-purposing.
3.1.3 Serving as the organization of record for all space assignments.
3.1.4 Recommending baseline/initial delegations of authority over ECU property regarding space allocation
3.1.5 Develop and publish appropriate process descriptions for making requests to the USC relating to space use
3.2 University Space Committee memberships will include at least one representative from each of the following units:
3.2.1 Athletics
3.2.2 Campus Operations
3.2.3 Division of Academic and Student Affairs
3.2.4 Division of Administration & Finance
3.2.5 Division of the Chancellor
3.2.6 Division of Health Sciences
3.2.7 Division of Research & Graduate Studies
3.2.8 Division of University Advancement
3.2.9 Faculty Senate
3.2.10 Institutional Planning, Assessment and Research
3.2.11 Office of Engagement, Innovation and Economic Development
3.3 University Space Committee functions:
3.3.1Evaluate all requests for programmatic space assignments and make recommendations to the Provost; if warranted the Provost will consult with the ECU Executive Committee.
3.3.2 Perform an analysis for each space request and make recommendations relative to adequacy (too large or too small), consistency with strategic plan, and growth goals of the unit and the university.
3.3.3 Conduct land and facility studies as needed with approval of the Provost.
3.3.4 Establish standards for space allocation to be used to plan and design space for new facilities or for reassignment or for re-purposed space.
3.3.5 Interface with the Vice Chancellor for Administration & Finance relative to land and facility procurement, and long-range facility planning.
3.3.6 Interface with the Vice Chancellor for Administration & Finance and with city and county planners relative to university expansion and the commensurate effects on city infrastructure.
3.3.7 Conduct periodic space utilization studies and recommend consolidation where appropriate to increase utilization rates, improve safety and conserve utilities.
3.3.8 Promulgate all master planning guidance policy for the university and coordinate it with all affected parties.
3.3.9 Coordinate space planning and allocation with SPARC (BSOM), Clinical Services, and the Space Allocation Committee.

Welcome to the Asia Markets live blog, a running account of what the region's stock markets are doing, along with other news. Today, market bulls try to extend gains from the previous session as U.S. shares offer a positive lead, while a Chinese \"mini stimulus\" helps support Hong Kong stocks, and Australia data paint a mixed picture.

- Ah, there's the China stimulus!
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
There's been some talk in the markets about China offering "stimulus by stealth," doing some fine-tuning to monetary policies and other almost invisible actions to offer some support for the slowing economy. But at a State Council (Chinese cabinet) meeting Wednesday, Beijing came out with something a little more substantial.
The immediate reaction among economists and the press has been to note that these are small-bore measures, but the plans announced do represent some fresh, tangible moves to help shore up flagging growth. Specifically, some small businesses will get a tax cut, the China Development Bank will help boost funding to create more low-income housing, and changes will be made to smooth further investment in the railways.
"These measures show that Premier Li's government aims to stabilize short-term growth with policies which can enhance efficiency while avoiding future financial troubles," write Bank of America-Merrill Lynch economists Ting Lu and Sylvia Sheng, giving the initiatives a thumbs-up. They see the plan as a reaction to the drop-off in consumption by the wealthy, who have curtailed spending in the face of an agressive anti-corruption campaign, and believe "markets will overall welcome" the moves.
On the other hand, Lu and Sheng don't see any major stimulus push ahead like what was seen in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial meltdown, but they add that government will do enough to keep things stable.
"To be sure, we don't expect Beijing to initiate another big stimulus, but some measures to fill the slack generated by demand shocks are necessary for financial, economic and social stability," they write.
The Merrill Lynch economists also reiterate their forecast for 7.2% growth this year (missing the government's target of "about 7.5%"), but they also "believe the chance for China to be hit by a nationwide financial collapse is extremely small, and we think the market is overly bearish on China."

- Australia shares sit up and wait for data

The banks are mostly lower, the miners mostly higher, and the retailers are looking solid, as the S&P/ASX 200 trades up 0.3%, doubling (for now) its 0.3% gain yesterday after U.S. shares scored another winning session.
Mining-wise, it's BHP Billiton up 0.8%, Oz Minerals up 0.7%, Alumina up 1.2%, and Newcrest up 1.4%, after gold and copper saw their prices improve overnight. The same could not be said for iron ore, with spot prices weaker by 2% (per Dow Jones Newswires), to send Fortescue Metals 0.4% lower and Atlas Iron down 1.8%.
The banks are seeing some losses after their recent gains, with CBA down 0.1%, Westpac down 0.4%, and NAB down 0.6% after news that Chief Executive Officer Cameron Clyne will leave in August in order, he says, to "to spend some much-needed time with my young family." NAB went as far as to say that five years on the job "had taken a personal toll" on the 46-year-old Clyne.
Meanwhile, ANZ is bucking the downtrend for the sector, its shares up 0.3%.
And then the retailers: Myer is up 0.9%, David Jones is up 1.2%, Wesfarmers is up 1.1%, and Woolworths is up 0.7%, as the market awaits February retail-sales data out later in the day.
Reports cite a consensus for a 0.3% gain during the month (after January's 1.2% increase), though Société Générale says they "expect retail sales in Australia to have more or less stagnated in February — and the risks are in our view skewed towards the downside. Turnover at cafés and restaurants in particular looks unsustainably strong, and clothing as well as department store sales are also likely to have stagnated or even declined."
Also slated for today are the February trade data. Analysts on average expect an 800 million Australian dollar ($740 million) surplus, down from an A$1.43 billion, though again, SocGen's forecast is below this, at A$589 million.
"Lower exports are suggested by both rapidly slowing growth of China's economy, as well as weak commodity prices: Iron-ore prices were down 5.3% month-on-month in February and coal prices down 7.1%," writes SocGen.

- Japan on the rise, and retailers in the news

The Nikkei Average is 0.4% higher this Thursday morning, with a 0.3% gain for the Topix. Sector-by-sector, it's mostly a mixed picture, but never mind — the overnight advance on Wall Street and the dollar holding on to its recent climb (currently at 103.84 yen) seem to be enough to keep Tokyo in positive territory.
In terms of the biggest names, we have Sony and Nissan up 0.5% each, Softbank up 0.2%, Honda up 0.8% and Mizuho Financial up 1%, but then we also have Panasonic and Toyota Motor down 0.1% apiece, Toshiba and Hitachi down 0.5% each, and J.Front Retailing down 1.4%.
Apple's reported plan to buy Renesas's interest (and possibly Sharp's as well) in a chip-making venture remains in the news, with The Wall Street Journal saying that if Apple buys both firms' interests in the chip unit, as well as that of Taiwan's Powerchip, it would run "close to $1 billion."
At this point, Renesas — which soared in yesterday's trading — is down 2.5%, while shares of Sharp are up 3.1%.Then again, the Sharp rally is likely as much a function of a Nikkei report saying the firm plans to double its China-bound shipments of energy-efficient LCD panels by year's end.
Despite the aforementioned loss for J.Front, many of the top retailers are trading higher. Rakuten is up 2.5%, Familymart is up 0.8%, and Seven & I is up 0.6% ahead of its earnings, due out later in the day.
Shares of Fast Retailing are up 1% after it said domestic sales for its Uniqlo chain rose 0.6% in March compared to a year earlier. And ABC-Mart is up 1.9% following a Nikkei report that operating profit for the just-concluded fiscal year should set an 11th straight record.

- Aussie data: Retail sales are in the eye of the beholder
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
The data's out down under, and the results are a bit of a Rorschach test in which both bulls and bears can see something to bolster their respective cases.
Retail sales managed to rise for a 10th straight month, but the February gain of 0.2% was just below the consensus for a 0.3% gain and was certainly slower than January's 1.2% surge, not to mention December's 0.7% rise.
Restaurant and food retailing were among the leading gainers, while department stores showed a drop-off in sales on a trend-term basis, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said.
And on the trade front, Australia's surplus with the world narrowed to 1.2 billion Australian dollars ($110 billion) in February, shrinking from a downwardly revised A$1.39 billion surplus in the previous month.
On the other hand, this was still enough to beat analysts' expectations for a A$850 million surplus, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Stocks pared their gains in Sydney following the result: An opening 0.3% advance for the ASX 200 contracted to a 0.1% advance after the data, but has since moved to a rise of 0.2%.
And those retailer shares seemed to like the February numbers well enough: Harvey Norman is up 1.5%, David Jones is up 1.6%, and Wesfarmers is up 0.9%, though Myer is flat.
Then again, the Australian dollar is down from its pre-data levels, trading at 92.22 U.S. cents vs. 92.45 U.S. cents ahead of the numbers.

- Hong Kong enjoys a fifth day of gains on China stimulus
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
China stock bulls are enjoying a fifth consecutive day of gains in the Hong Kong market, as China unveiled a long-awaited (albeit small) stimulus package.
The Hang Seng Index is up 0.7%, gaining further momentum after its recent rally, as investors cheer the fresh measures from China being dubbed the "mini
-stimu lus" and shrugging off slightly weak readings on the service sector.
Over on the Chinese mainland, the Shanghai Composite is also rising, currently up 0.2%.
In the light of recent signs of a slowdown, China's State Council on Wednesday launched a small stimulus package to "stablize growth", including the reduction of tax burdens on small enterprises, more low-income housing, and speeding up railway construction in central and western China (see earlier post on today's blog).
Shares of Chinese construction companies are shooting higher in Hong Kong, as China National Building Material Co. jumps 4.3%, cement producer BBMG Corporation climbs 4%, Anhui Conch Cement gains 2.9%, and Chan Shanshui Cement Group adds 2.4%.
Steel and metal stocks are also shining, as Maanshan Iron & Steel rallies 4%, Angang Steel Co. pushes 2.6% higher, Lingbao Gold advances 3.7%, and Aluminum Corp. of China rises 2.2%.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing (HKEx) is extending gains by 0.6% after a 5.4% rally in the previous session. Stocks of HKEx were halted from trading Wednesday afternoon after reports said the bourse has reached an agreement with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which would allow foreign investors to directly buy mainl
and-China -liste d stocks through the HKEx.
The exchange said later in a statement that they have been in discussions with their mainland counterparts regarding "mutual market-connectivity initiatives" but hasn't reached any agreement at this point.
On the downside in Hong Kong, shares of Italian fashion house Prada are dropping 7.7% after posting 2013 earnings little changed from those the previous year.

- China data: Another split decision
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
We now have four sets of China data from two sources and two different pictures of the economy.
HSBC's version of the China services Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a four-month high at 51.9 in March, up from February's 51.0, and above the crucial 50 mark signalling expansion. Employment in the service sector rose to a nine-month high due to higher volumes of new work.
But earlier in the day, the official version of the same PMI showed a slight drop to 54.5 from 55 in February, though also still well above the 50 mark.
The HSBC PMI readings suggests a "modest improvement" of business activities in March, according to HSBC's chief China economist Qu Hongbin on Thursday.
However, "combined with the weaker manufacturing PMI reading, the underlying strength of the economy is softening, which should ultimately weigh on the labor market," he added. Yesterday, HSBC's final reading on China manufacturing PMI weakened to an eight-month low of 48, even as the official version showed a small improvement to 50.3.
Citi analysts said Thursday that the two pairs of PMI suggest two sides to the Chinese economy, with a further slowdown of manufacturing activity but "resilient service-industry growth."
Taking all the data together, they expect a slight slowdown in China's GDP growth in the first quarter, which may have dropped to 7.3%.
Nevertheless, since the job market remains stable and exports are expected to strengthen due to improving external demand, "fine
-tunin g" of policies in the second quarter may be possible rather than "a big policy stimulus," Citi said.
And almost on cue, China on Wednesday announced a fresh "mini stimulus" package, which appears to be lifting market sentiment today: Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index is gaining 0.4%, although the Shanghai Composite Index — which seesawed after gains at the open — is now edging down 0.2%.

- China mini stimulus: More reaction
- by Mike Kitchen
- Add a Comment
China's pro-growth measures announced Wednesday, already dubbed the "mini stimulus," seem to be keeping Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index above water today, with the benchmark ending morning trade up 0.4%, even as the Shanghai Composite sinks 0.2%.
While Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (as mentioned in an earlier post on this blog) sees this as a one-off move just meant to keep the economy away from a hard landing, HSBC economists Hongbin Qu and Junwei Sun believe this is only the beginning.
"This may be a start of a slew of fine-turning measures. We think Beijing still has other options in their toolkit, such as the lowering of the entry barriers in various sectors, spending or incentives for environmental protection, as well as more urban infrastructure (such as subway), if needed," they write in a note out Thursday.
They say the "modest" size of the stimulus "should buy time to implement reform measures, which could involve some short-term pain."
And speaking of reform, Qu and Sun see a reformist agenda, as the State Council's plan includes changing the way they fund railroad investment and the construction of low-income housing to replace shantytowns.
"The financing reforms for railway and shantytown reconstruction should help establish a long-term sustainable funding channel for these much-needed infrastructure projects, [and] it should help keep infrastructure investment (now at around 18.5%) at a steady pace," the HSBC economists write.
That said, HSBC is keeping its 2014 China growth forecast at 7.4%.

- Hong Kong pares gains as PBOC drains liquidity
- by Laura He
- Add a Comment
Hong Kong gains almost melted away at the close, as a fresh move by China's central bank to drain liquidity has damped market sentiment.
The Hang Seng Index lost most of its early gains and closed 0.2% higher at 22,565.08. Over on the mainland, Shanghai stocks also moved off their early highs, with the Shanghai Composite Index sliding 0.7% to end at 2,043.70.
The People's Bank of China on Thursday withdrew 90 billion yuan ($14.5 billion) from the money markets via open-market operations, the central bank said on its website.
In Hong Kong, tech stocks were among the underperformers. Chinese Internet giant Tencent Holdings declined 2.7%. Meanwhile, Chinese software company Kingsoft Corp. lost 1.3%, after Cheetah Mobile Inc., a Kingsoft unit offering information security software, filed on Wednesday for an U.S. IPO of American Depository Shares (ADR) to raise about $300 million.
Energy shares also declined, as China Renewable Energy Investment tumbled 2.7%, China Everbright International dropped 2.4%, and China High Speed Transmission Equipment Group skidded lower by 1.7%.
In Shanghai markets, property stocks retreated after a big rally in the prior session. The nation's largest developers Poly Real Estate and China Vanke fell 1.6% and 1.1%, respectively. Shanghai's leading developer Shanghai Shimao sank 2%, and Shenzhen-based China Merchants Property Development gave up 0.9%.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA Mold Tooling Design
Complete tooling process coverage for mold tooling injection designers
Mold tooling injection designers need to quickly design a tool based on their know-how. In addition, they need to ensure wall thickness uniformity and proper cooling of plastic parts as well as address issues such as shrinkage and mold removal. Product quality depends on mold design accuracy, so they can benefit greatly from a tool that specifically covers these processes.
CATIA Mold Tooling Design specifically responds to the needs of Mold Tooling Injection designers. A predefined Layout allows users to insert and manage several Inserts in a positioned Mold Base, which greatly enhances productivity. It also features a dedicated Live command that fits the dimensions of the tool to the prints. Standard plastic mold bases coming from suppliers (DME, HASCO, FUTABA, etc.) are created in one-shot by selecting the recommended configuration. Plus, designers can generate cooling circuits in the mold base, thanks to an ergonomic command, ensuring design productivity.
- Check validity of imported topology
- Reuse existing data extensively with powerful recognition tools
- Identify and define Slider Pulling Direction
- Detail molding areas
- Optimize and reduce cycle time with wall thickness analysis
- Check accuracy and improve quality of imported shapes
- Access to supplier equipped mold bases and components catalogs...
- ... or create standard or company-specific mold bases with ease.
- Increase mold quality and reduce cycle time
- Work faster with the creation of reusable tooling components
Intrinsic validity checking of each surfaceHealing Assistant checks the intrinsic validity of each surface, detecting self intersections in boundaries, wrong topologies, thin surfaces, etc. The surfaces to be repaired are moved to specific bodies for easier handling. It can also check connections between surfaces to find holes (G0 gaps in mm), sharp edges (G1 gaps in degrees), and curvature breaks (G2 gaps in %). Plus, surfaces involved in gaps can also be moved to specific bodies for easier analysis and repair.
Delete Impacts contextual commandTo prevent users from managing too many links on impacts made by Tooling components, the new contextual "Delete Impacts" command allows users to quickly delete all impacts made by the selected components.
Automated tool to carry out global and local join operationsCATIA Healing Assistant provides an automated tool to carry out join operations. The Global Join feature can assemble curves or surfaces according to a specified topological tolerance (merging distance). The Local Join feature is available to join only selected edges of a surface, for example to close a gap, according to a local tolerance which can be user-defined or computed automatically.
Offers automated and manual part design feature recreationThis function is intended to recognize a Part Design feature from an Isolated B-Rep. This product is used to retrieve a comprehensive CATIA data structure (Product Structure) from an Isolated B-Rep Part. The user imports a part and can recover elementary Part Design features. It allows better downstream application integration to improve Part simplification for tool definition and flexible local design.
Associative core and cavity separation with parting lines and surface dedicated definition toolsThe Core and Cavity Design workbench ensures that an accurate and associative core and cavity separation can be achieved. It builds robust parting lines and surfaces from the part skin in order to support last minute design changes and more design alternatives. The definition of complex shapes is flexible and allows easy and fast manufacturing dress-up of foreign geometry imported through neutral standards such as IGES and STEP.
Face Color EditorAllows users to change the color of different groups of faces and to create a selection set from them in order to select them in one shot.
Main pulling direction definition, mold area management, and parting line extractionThis quick separation tool is provided to identify the Core and Cavity and undercuts from the main pulling direction. Once the right pulling direction has been easily defined with the compass, the Part is automatically divided in 3 sets. Thus, the Core and Cavity and undercuts areas are recomputed when the input of the main associative pulling direction is modified. The user can easily spot the divided parts due to the following color mapping: green faces can be unmolded, red faces can be unmolded in the opposite direction and blue faces need to be part of slider, loose core, or be split.
Generation of Bill of MaterialsMold designers can generate dedicated and customizable Bill of Materials (BOM's) including specific attribute of the mold (Material, Heat Treatment) and automatic Nomenclature from the configuration of the component. Textual format, HTML or XLS (Excel) formats can be generated interactively. BOM can be based on User-defined attributes. Attributes can be defined either externally via a file (.txt or .xls) or manually. Specific formats can also be defined (subset of user-defined attributes) and re-used for BOM generations. Listing Reports including assembly trees and attributes of each component can be generated.
Standard plastic mold basesMold base creation is a key step in mold design that helps to create, store and reuse standard and company-specific mold bases. The new "Create Mold Base" command is available and provides a user-friendly way for users to create mold bases. CATIA Mold Tooling design provides a user-friendly command that allows end-users to create mold bases for any mold designs.
Insert layout for multi-printUsers can insert and manage several Inserts in a positioned Mold Base thanks to a predefined Layout. Inserts are defined with the FormBlock from the CoreCavity Separation application.
Live definition of Coolant ChannelsUsers can benefit from the Coolant Channel command with a "Live" user interface. The V6 Coolant Channel command offers the new V6 look-and-feel. The Mold Cooling feature serves to dissipate the heat of the molding quickly and uniformly. Because cooling typically accounts for two-thirds of a product's cycle time and the quality of the molded part depends on uniformity, the Mold Tooling Design product offers the capacity to add cooling pipes and cooling components to a mold. It also provides contextual balloons and manipulators during coolant channels design. By using V6 balloons, users can benefit from context-specific modes and options.
Live dedicated "Impact by Components" commandTooling component impacts are recreated thanks to a new command. For example, when a plate is replaced in a mold base, impacts must be recreated. The new Live, dedicated "Impacted by components,"command meets the need to recreate such impacts. All impacts made by Tooling components in a plate are computed in one-shot.

Sure, it's a little pricey - $6K for a one hour ceremony on the field, $9K to use the big Jack Roth Stadium Club for the reception. Then again, you ain't exactly renting a Ramada Inn ballroom, either.
For diehard Michigan fans, what could be better, right?
But in the words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast, my friend."
Why, you ask? Simple math.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, in some cases), something like 50% of marriages end in divorce. One out of two. And when one is divorced, quite often things that remind one of the ol' ex or The Day That Wasn't Meant To Be aren't, shall we say, a good thing.
Which means, if you bleed Maize and Blue and get married at The Big House, there's a 50/50 chance that, one day, sitting in the Hole that Yost Dug could be bring up memories as painful as watching a U-M coach sing Josh Groban tunes at the football banquet. Just walking inside the gates at Stadium and Main could, conceivably, bring about the same sense of dread once reserved for settling in to witness one of Gerg's 3-3-5 defensive cluster fucks flailing around on the field.
When you watch a Michigan tailback tear off a 52-yard TD run into the south endzone, do you want to celebrate along with him? Or do you want to be reminded that he's being mobbed by his teammates in the exact same spot that your former sister-in-law with the overly loud laugh kept making snide remarks about the best man following the ceremony?
When the drum major bends all the way back like he does during The Victors, do you want to marvel at his flexibility, or be reminded of your ex-wife's - which she's now sharing with that guy "Blaine" from Facebook who she swore was "just a co-worker?"
When a roar goes up in The Big House, do you really want to hear her attorney's voice informing you that your ex will now be living in your house?
Look, I'm not unromantic, I'm a realist. Here to help you, the MZone reader, keep your love of Michigan football untarnished. Pure. Scar-free. Because that's what I do, people - I give. I give so one day you don't detest that which you love most.
So, is it really worth the risk?
You're welcome.
P.S. Need the number for the Ramada Inn?
|Keep it pure

I asked around my friends about how I can cook this precious gem. In the past, we just ate it by slicing thinly and spreading on top of the rice when the rice was almost done. Then I would mix with sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil;, a simple sauce spread and mixed with rice and eat. It tastes best keeping the unique mushroom flavor intact. Since the wild Songi mushrooms are expensive (sew some selling at $29.99/lb), I didn't usually buy a lot, but now I have enough, I thought I would try different songi busuht recipes. Here's a very simple preparation for the delicious mushrooms.

Every day, you can see signs of a subtle change in relations between Cuba and the U.S. at Miami International Airport.
More Cubans than ever before are coming to the U.S. to visit, and the number of Cuban-Americans traveling back to the island is also at record levels. With all the visitors, money and goods are now traveling to the island from the United States.
It's a legal loophole in the 50-year-old trade embargo — one that's having a real impact on Cuba's economy, and allowing Cuban-Americans to become investors in Cuba's emerging private sector...
