In the coming weeks, Boulder's craft beer scene could grow significantly more crowded.
In addition to BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse expanding to larger quarters, at least four new craft breweries are expected to open throughout the city.
BJ's closed its restaurant at 1125 Pearl St. on Sunday and has a soft opening for its freestanding restaurant at 1600 28th St. scheduled for the end of this week.
BJ's move to the Twenty Ninth Street mall will make way for the opening of West Flanders Brewing Co. -- a partnership between the operators of The Sink in Boulder and a craft brewer who developed beers for Oskar Blues Brewery and Left Hand Brewing -- by mid-September in downtown Boulder.
West Flanders should have six beers within the first 10 days of operation and about 10 to 12 flowing by the end of October, co-founder Mark Heinrtiz said.
"It's going to be a very beer-centric, food-centric, local kind of place," he said. "The food-beer relationship tends to be much more intense and intimate between the flavors."
Before the end of the fall, J Wells Brewery, Wild Woods Brewery and Fate Brewing Co. should be pouring pints in east Boulder. The startups' arrivals will be accompanied by expansion efforts from established locals such as Twisted Pine Brewing, Avery Brewing and Upslope Brewing.
"It's like yogurt shops," Fate Brewing founder Mike Lawinski said, noting the proliferation of frozen yogurt shops that opened last year in Boulder.
Lawinski on Wednesday announced plans to open a full-service restaurant and full-production brewery at 1600 38th St., in a 7,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Playa Azul and Jose Muldoon's.
Lawinski said he plans to carve out about 3,000 square feet of the space for the brewing operations and have the remaining space available for a restaurant that will have "high-end tavern" food with locally sourced ingredients. Fate Brewing's bar will have 30 tap handles for the brewery's own beer and that of its industry brethren.
"I'm just a big fan of beer," he said. "We've paid a lot of attention to putting in the infrastructure to allow us to offer what we do, but also appreciate what everybody else does."
Lawinski has no business partners in the endeavor but has the backing of silent investors, he said. Crafting the beers for Fate Brewing will be a Colorado-based brewer whose name he said he could not yet disclose.
Fate Brewing -- which has plans for five core beers and also several special releases -- intends to distribute its beer to liquor stores, restaurants and bars throughout Colorado in addition to providing beer at its restaurant. The majority of Fate Brewing's beers will be canned, with some specialty beers bottled in 22- and 24-ounce bombers, he said.
"Running the West End (Tavern), it's grown into a beer bar there," said Lawinski, who served as general manager at the Pearl Street restaurant. "I worked very closely with the brewers and became really passionate about the industry and the brewing process and what's out there. When I looked at the space with a brewery in mind, it was just a natural fit."

But then again, what's typical?
Warner is a Zen priest, a punk musician and a writer with a snarky, pop culture-centered tone. He's also the subject of a new film, "Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen," coming to Boulder next week.
Warner's work often puts a modern face on Zen Buddhist practice, including issues of sexuality and modern-day life. He has written four books on the subject of Zen Buddhism and spirituality, and his nontraditonal style has inspired some Buddhist practitioners while raising eyebrows with others.
A screening of "Brad Warner's Harcore Zen" is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 18 at the University of Colorado's Muenzinger Auditorium.
Warner has written extensively about Zen Buddhism in his books, which include "Sit Down and Shut Up," "Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate," "Sex, Sin, and Zen" and his latest, "There Is No God and He Is Always With You." He also writes a blog and has contributed to the alternative porn site
The juxtaposition of traditional Zen practice and Warner's seemingly nontraditional personality appealed to Pirooz Kalayeh, director of "Hardcore Zen."
Kalayeh is a former Naropa University student and graduate of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. After moving to Los Angeles, he ended up attending one of Warner's Zen classes and was intrigued.
"I knew I wanted to do a film about him," he said.
Yet Warner was more than wary. No fewer than three other filmmakers had expressed interest in making his work into a film, but none of them followed through.
"I think I just told him, 'Well, if you show up, I guess you can film me,'" Warner said with a laugh.
Kalayeh did more than show up. He followed Warner around in his everyday life, his meditation sessions and writing classes.
The film, which incorporates all facets of Warner's life and includes feedback from fellow Zen practitioners and friends, explores why Warner is both controversial and inspirational for modern-day Buddhists.
In the film, Warner explains how he strives to follow a formal Zen practice while living an ordinary life, including spending time in several punk bands, writing books and drawing on work he did early in his career as a translator for Asian monster movies.
As a young man, he says in the film, "I got into punk and Zen for the same reason ... searching for something authentic and true."
Nina Snow, a yoga instructor and friend of Warner's, says in the film that acquaintances to whom she introduced Warner were "relieved that he was kind of a regular guy. Most of my friends are not looking for the guy in the robes, floating off the ground."
Kalayeh said he strove to portray Warner in an honest way, including the controversies about Warner's views on topics such as sex and spirituality.
One of the first screenings of "Brad Warner's Hardcore Zen" took place at a European Buddhist film festival. While many of the films depicted images of people meditating in calm settings, "Hardcore Zen" included scenes of Warner's punk band and a staged fight scene between Warner and a critic of his teachings. In several scenes, Warner answers questions while wearing a leather jacket over a bunny costume.
Kalayeh said viewers aren't always sure how to respond to the film -- and those unexpected reactions are a good thing.
"But that's Brad, right? He's edgy, daring, unconventional and traditional all in one," Kalayeh said. "I wanted the film to reflect that same attitude he brought to Zen."

Along came a spider and a woman with insect spray - the washing machine blew up, the windows blew out and the woman was injured.
Police say the 66-year-old woman spotted a spider on the washing machine of her Kirribilli home, on Sydney's north shore, about 1pm (AEDT) on Saturday.
She opted for insecticide and sprayed the spider which ran under the machine.
The woman pursued the spider, sprayed under the machine and it exploded.
The blast blew out the kitchen and bathroom windows and destroyed the washing machine.
Fire investigators believe the motor of the washing machine ignited the insect spray, triggering the explosion.
She suffered blurred vision and singed hair, and was treated at the scene by paramedics.
There was no sign of the spider, police say.

According to Wikipedia, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), refers to technologies that allow both wireless and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same ability.
There are several initiatives to bring Machine-to-Machine technologies at Eclipse:
M2M Industry Working Group
In November 2011, a set of industrial partners decided to create an Industry Working Group at Eclipse to address the main obstacle to M2M market growth: many incompatible platforms and protocols are available, and developers are forced to continually reinvent solutions that have already been created.
Koneki Technology project
Koneki is an Incubator of the Technology Project which aims at providing Machine-to-Machine solutions developers with tools easing the development, simulation, testing/debugging and deployment of such solutions.
It has been provisioned at the end of May 2011, with an initial contribution actually done during October 2011. Initial focus is put on providing tools for Lua developers.

One of the only negatives to come out of the Seattle Seahawks 58-0 romp over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday was a bruised foot suffered by leading receiver Sidney Rice.
Rice took a wicked blow from Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson midway through the fourth quarter that he emerged unscathed from. Instead, it's a simple bruise that kept him out of practice on Wednesday. Rice was wearing a walking boot on Wednesday and head coach Pete Carroll said it was a possibility he wouldn't be able to play Sunday in Toronto against the Buffalo Bills.
"We'll see what happens," Carroll said. "He's improved quite a bit since game day the last couple of days, but he's got a pretty sore foot. He's got the x-rays and MRIs and all of that and we didn't find anything that would keep him from playing. He just has to get back. He's feeling really sore right now."
Carroll said Rice wasn't even sure exactly how the injury occurred, but that he woke up Monday with it causing him pain.
"He didn't even know when it happened," Carroll said. "He's had a sore toe all season so we originally though that it was just that, we kind of misinterpreted the signs, and then Monday morning he woke up with a pretty sore foot. So we didn't even know it was coming."
If Rice can't play Sunday, the Seahawks will have to rely on someone to step up and pick up the slack. Carroll said that Charly Martin will be relied upon to fill Rice's role with Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse likely getting opportunities as well.
For the season, Rice has compiled 45 catches for 658 yards and seven touchdowns.
Cornerback Marcus Trufant (hamstring), safety Kam Chancellor (groin) and defensive end Red Bryant (foot) all did not practice on Wednesday for Seattle. Running back Marshawn Lynch (back) and cornerback Walter Thurmond (hamstring) were limited.

Why Do They Hate Us?
Strange Answers Lie in al-Qaida's Writings
By Reza Aslan
August 6, 2007
Americans have been asking this question for nearly six years now, and for six years President Bush and his accomplices have been offering the same tired response: "They hate us for our freedoms." With every passing year, that answer becomes less convincing.
Part of the problem has to do with the question itself. Who exactly are they? Are we referring to al-Qaida and its cohorts? Are we talking about Iran, Syria, and the other nation-states whose interests in the Middle East do not properly align with America's? Or perhaps we mean Hamas, Hezbollah, or the myriad religious nationalist organizations across the Muslim world that share neither the ideology nor the aspirations of global, transnational groups like al-Qaida, but that have nevertheless been dumped into the same category: them.
But what is most surprising about this question is how little interest anyone seems to have taken in examining the answers that are already on offer in multiple languages, through various media outlets, and on the Internet, from the very they who allegedly hate us so much. A spate of books has appeared over the last year, gathering the words of America's enemies. The first and best of these is Messages to the World, a collection of Osama Bin Laden's declarations translated by Duke University professor Bruce Lawrence, in which Bin Laden himself dismisses Bush's accusation that he hates America's freedoms. "Perhaps he can tell us why we did not attack Sweden, for example?"
Now comes a second, more complete collection, The Al Qaeda Reader, edited and translated by Raymond Ibrahim, a research librarian at the Library of Congress. Unlike Lawrence, Ibrahim includes writings from both Bin Laden and his right-hand man, Ayman Al-Zawahiri. And while both volumes provide readers with a startling series of religious and political tracts that, when taken together, chart the evolution of a disturbing (if intellectually murky) justification for religious violence, Ibrahim's collection is marred by his insistence that his book be viewed as al-Qaida's Mein Kampf.
The comparison between the scattered declarations of a cult leader literally dwelling in a cave and the political treatise of the commander in chief of one of the 20th century's most powerful nations may be imprecise, to say the least. But Ibrahim's point is that we can learn about al-Qaida's intentions by reading their words, that a book like this can help Americans better understand the nature of the anger directed toward them.
In the most general sense, this is certainly true. But whether a hodgepodge of interviews, declarations, and exegetical arguments can be read as a sort of jihadist manifesto is debatable. While these writings provide readers with page after page of, for example, arcane legal debates over the moral permissibility of suicide bombing, they do not really get to the heart of what it is that al-Qaida wants, if it wants anything at all. Al-Qaida's nominal aspirations–the creation of a worldwide caliphate, the destruction of Israel, the banishing of foreigners from Islamic lands–are hardly mentioned in the book. It seems the president of the United States talks more about al-Qaida's goals than al-Qaida itself does. Rarely, if ever, do Bin Laden and Zawahiri discuss any specific social or political policy.
What al-Qaida does lay out, however, are grievances–many, many grievances. There is the usual litany of complaints about the suffering of Palestinians, the tyranny of Arab regimes, and the American occupation of Iraq. But again, legitimate as these complaints may be, there is in these writings an almost total lack of interest in providing any specific solution or policy to address them. Indeed, al-Qaida's many grievances against the West are so heterogeneous, so mind-bogglingly unfocused, that they must be recognized less as grievances per se, than as popular causes to rally around. There are protests about the United Nations' rejection of Zimbabwe's elections, the Bush administration's unwillingness to sign up to the International Criminal Court, and America's role in global warming. (To quote Bin Laden: "You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases, more than any other country. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and industries.") Zawahiri's many complaints include the mistreatment of prisoners at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, which he calls "a historical embarrassment to America and its values," as well as the United Kingdom's anti-terrorism laws, which "contradict the most basic principles of fair trial." There is even a screed against America's campaign-finance laws, which, according to Bin Laden, currently favor "the rich and wealthy, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts."
Most Americans would agree with many of these complaints. And that's precisely the point. These are not real grievances for al-Qaida (it does not bear mentioning that Bin Laden is probably not very concerned with campaign finance reform). They are a means of weaving local and global resentments into a single anti-American narrative, the overarching aim of which is to form a collective identity across borders and nationalities, and to convince the world that it is locked in a cosmic contest between the forces of Truth and Falsehood, Belief and Unbelief, Good and Evil, Us and Them.
In this regard, al-Qaida has been spectacularly successful, thanks in no small part to the assistance of the divisive "Clash of Civilizations" mentality of our own politicians. In fact, far from debunking al-Qaida's twisted vision of a world divided in two, the Bush administration has legitimized it through its own morally reductive "us vs. them" rhetoric.
In the end, this is the most important lesson to be learned from these writings. Because, if we are truly locked in an ideological war, as the president keeps reminding us, then our greatest weapons are our words. And thus far, instead of fighting this war on our terms, we have been fighting it on al-Qaida's.
Don't believe me? Ask Bin Laden:
"Bush left no room for doubts or media opinion. He stated clearly that this war is a Crusader war. He said this in front of the whole world so as to emphasize this fact. …When Bush says that, they try to cover up for him, then he said he didn't mean it. He said, 'crusade.' Bush divided the world into two: 'either with us or with terrorism'…The odd thing about this is that he has taken the words right out of our mouths."
Odd, indeed.

A hearing for the soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians in March has been set for Nov. 5 at an army base in Washington State, with villagers expected to testify by video from Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan.
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales is scheduled to appear at Joint Base Lewis-McChord for the pre-trial hearing, which is expected to last two weeks, Lieutenant Colonel Gary Dangerfield said. The second week of the hearing will be held in the evening, so villagers can testify during daylight hours in Afghanistan.
Defense lawyer John Henry Browne plans to fly to Afghanistan to cross-examine the witnesses, while other members of the defense team remain at Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle.
The hearing under Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice will determine whether Bales, of Lake Tapps, faces court-martial.
Bales faces 16 counts of premeditated murder; six counts of attempted murder; seven counts of assault; and one count each of possessing steroids, using steroids, destroying a laptop, burning bodies and using alcohol. He is being held in a military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
Investigators say Bales was armed with a 9mm pistol and M-4 rifle outfitted with a grenade launcher when he walked off his base in southern Afghanistan on March 11 and went on a nighttime killing spree.
Browne told the Seattle Times that more than 10 Afghans could be called as witnesses and it has been difficult to contact some of them. Browne said the hearing is important because it may be his only opportunity to question the witnesses.
Bales could face the death penalty if convicted.
Browne said on Friday that neither the prosecution nor defense has received forensic-evidence reports from Afghanistan.
"The prosecutors told us they haven't received any of the DNA, any of those reports from the crime lab," he said. "They tell us we will have them by Oct. 26."
Browne said there is still a possibility that the November hearing could be delayed, but he was confident that it would likely proceed as scheduled. Browne said he would probably be in Afghanistan for the preliminary hearing, while his co-counsel, Emma Scanlan, would be at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
"A lot of those male Afghanistan witnesses literally won't talk to a woman," Browne said.
Browne has said his client suffered a traumatic incident during his second tour in Iraq that triggered "tremendous depression." Browne has also said Bales suffered from persistent headaches and flashbacks of war scenes after his multiple combat tours, and has only a sketchy memory of the night of the shootings.
Bales grew up in suburban Cincinnati where he attended high school, then went to Ohio State University from 1993 to 1996, though he did not graduate.
He joined the army two months after the attacks on the US on Sept. 11, 2001, after a Florida investment business failed and after he worked with a string of securities operations.
Bales deployed three times to Iraq before being sent to Afghanistan with the 3rd Stryker Brigade. He was at a Special Forces outpost at the time of the killings.

Brawlers. Beat-'em-ups. Belt scrollers. Call them what you want, but they ruled the arcades in the late '80s and early '90s. Technos' Double Dragon ignited the craze back in 1987, and Capcom's Final Fight set the template for things to come. The genre saw its peak with top-notch releases like The Punisher and Alien vs. Predator, and Konami-produced efforts like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, and X-Men are fondly remembered today.
Somewhere along the line, though, the beat-'em-up genre's popularity faded. Later console-born efforts like Final Fight Streetwise and Beat Down met with mixed results, and despite multiple cancelled reboot attempts, Sega has yet to relaunch its once-popular Streets of Rage series.
Recently, Wayforward's Double Dragon Neon turned heads thanks to its intentionally cheesy '80s aesthetic, but despite the game's success on multiple fronts, it failed to impress some critics. To them, the brawler is outdated -- a genre that has no place in today's gaming landscape. We intend to prove them wrong.
For our latest Game Design Challenge, we challenged our readers to design a brawler that suits modern tastes. Here are our top picks.

Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.

If there's one thing my love of cooking has taught me it is that everyone loves pie. And why on earth not?
Pie is a most guilty of pleasure, but a pleasure it certainly is.
And the real beauty of it is that most of the hard work can be done the night before.
My greatest kitchen disaster was a pie, but that was largely because I had to work late, had seven people round for dinner and hadn't done anything the night before.
Learning from my mistakes, that is now the way I make pies.
To celebrate National Pie Week (a great week, among many poor relations), this is my pie recipe.
Please bear in mind that pies are a personal adventure, and each one I do has been different.
For a real show-stopper, however, only a pastry bottom and top will do.
I recently did a chicken pie, which I will share with you at a later date, but that was truly awesome too (others told me so!)
Ok, so you need:
- shortcrust pastry and puff pastry (or short/short, if you prefer that top. Or suet.)
- Good beef stock
- Guinness
- tomato puree
- Shallots or red onion
- mushrooms
- Carrots
- Flour
- Egg
- Rosemary
- butter
- Garlic
- two Bay leaf
- Stewing steak
- Bacon/pancetta
- Danish Blue cheese
- Salt, pepper
Blind bake the shortcrust in your pie tin, using beads or rice to weigh down the pastry and stop it coming up. Usually takes 5-10 miins but keep an eye on it. Just starting to brown is good.
Take it out, remove beads carefully, then egg wash, to stop the contents leaking, and put it back in the oven for a couple more minutes until properly golden brown. Watch the top of the sides – you don't want them burned.
I tend to do the meat first. Bacon's easiest and rests well, so start with that and get it crispy. It also has the best fat, so hold on to that for the onion/shallot.
For the beef, pat it down to remove excess fat, then plonk it in some seasoned flour and cook in batches (they won't brown otherwise and will boil). I like to have a rosemary sprig in while cooking the steak – gives it monster flavour – and more seasoning is sometimes required.
Once done, the meat can rest.
Garlic – I tend to do as much as the mood takes me, and I love the stuff, so have at it. Half a bulb is upper levels...
Chop the shallots or onions (I've done finely chopped and chunky) in the bacon fat with added butter. Let them cook for a couple of minutes on a medium, until starting to go translucent, then add the garlic, and carrots, with the mushrooms roughly chopped and added soon after.
After a few more minutes, the Guinness goes in. I used 2-300 ml, then let it bubble, uncovered, for a couple of minutes, to get some of the alcohol out of it. I then add about 500ml of good beef stock. In goes the beef and half the bacon or pancetta, to get all the flavours in there. Follow this with the bay leaves, a bit more rosemary and some tomato puree.
Let this simmer really slowly, covered, for as long as you can wait – the longer the better. I like to add the other half of the bacon later on, as it disintegrates somewhat if cooked for ages.
When all that lovely stuff's done, use a slotted spoon to remove the filling and put it in the pie. I like to reduce down the liquid to pour on to the top of the pie. It gets much thicker and more unctuous.
Then it's time for the cheese, crumbled on top of it all. Lots is good for me but it's up to you.
You then have to let the contents cool completely, before you roll out the pastry top, or use ready rolled (tends to be just an awkward shape, which is annoying) to a few millimetres thick. Egg wash the top of the base and carefully place the puff on top of that, then do some crimping with a fork so it's sealed.
More egg wash over the top, then the pie goes in the fridge. When you're ready to cook the pie, put a fresh coating of egg wash on.
Everything is done by now, so 200°C for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and looking tasty.
Serve with mash, peas and gravy on the side.

A Man Is Being Hailed A Hero After Being Shot Protecting A Pregnant Woman
When it comes down to it, do you think that you would be capable of doing the right thing even if it meant putting your own life on the line? Well, we don't need to ask 27-year-old David Trivelpiece of Oregon that question anymore.
He had been out on the town with a few friends in late November when he heard a series of gunshots. Without even questioning the danger of what he was about to do, he ran off in the direction of the shots hoping to be able to help whoever was in trouble.
It turns out that he made the right choice. When he got to the scene of the shooting, he saw that two men had been fighting after one severely intoxicated man, 67-year-old Richard Mershon, had pushed a pregnant woman to the ground. It was during the initial altercation that the two shots that Trivelpiece heard had been fired, both missing their target.
When Trivelpiece ran across the street to try and stop the mayhem, Mershon squeezed off another shot, this one hitting Trivelpiece in the neck.
"That's totally him. He knows that if someone's in trouble, he'd step in," said Ambria Newton, Trivelpiece's sister-in-law.
The community has taken notice of the sacrifice that Trivelpiece was willing to make, and they have rallied around the family in order to help support his recovery.

Alerus Center
1200 42nd Street So.
Grand Forks, ND 58201
Phone Number: (701)792-1200
Fax Number: (701)746-6511
Alerus Center Website
North Dakota plays its football home games at the Alerus Center - a 12,283-seat stadium located just minutes from the UND campus in Grand Forks.
The Alerus features an AstroTurf playing surface installed in 2013 that allows for rapid field conversion, with a playing surface that has no seams. Locker rooms are adorned in UND colors and are dividable into four 25-locker sections. There are also dressing rooms for coaches and officials. State-of-the art scoreboards, 15-by-30 Daktronics video replay boards and a BOSE sound system make the stadium one of the most exciting places in the nation to watch Football Championship Subdivision football.
The Alerus has 18 luxury VIP suites, eight concession stands, two vending stands, 14 ticket windows in three locations and four merchandise stands. There are 4,075 parking spaces available.
Home-field advantage
More than half-a-million fans have seen the North Dakota football team succeed on its home field at the Alerus Center. That mark includes a 10-0 postseason record and a school record 23-game home winning streak from 2002 to 2005.
In 2004, UND led the nation in Division II total attendance for the second straight year, with 75,110 fans passing through the gates to watch UND football - an average of 9,389 per game.
In 2008, which was the team's first at the FCS level, fans broke yet another attendance record as UND averaged 10,617 fans for its five home games that season.
North Dakota fans have been enthusiastic ever since the Alerus Center opened, but one of the most vocal crowds came in that first year as UND hosted a 2001 NCAA semifinal game against UC Davis. In that game, UC Davis was flagged seven times for illegal procedure among its 12 penalties on the day. After the game, UC Davis players cited the noise level of the Alerus Center crowd as one of the reasons for the penalties.
During the 2001 season, more than 100,000 fans turned out to watch the team play at the Alerus, and UND's regular season average attendance of 10,517 was a school record. The previous school record was 9,150 in 1976, when North Dakota drew an estimated 36,600 for four games at Memorial Stadium.
UND's average attendance was also the third-best figure nationally in NCAA Division II for 2001.
UND finished fourth nationally in Division II attendance in 2000, its final season at Memorial Stadium.

Having already won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and several of the most important critics' awards, Michael Haneke's "Amour" has scored an unexpected five Oscar nominations. It's unusual for the usually ghettoized European art films to score anything beyond the Foreign Language category, plus maybe one or two nominations in the general categories. The Oscars belong to Hollywood; and (not surprisingly) Hollywood tends to like the same sorts of movies that Hollywood makes.
You'd have to go back more than a decade, to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," to find a wholly non-English film to be nominated for Best Picture, and the number of such nominees before can be counted on two hands (with a few digits left over). What's more, "Amour" isn't an obvious crowd pleaser like "Life Is Beautiful." It's a difficult film, deliberately cold, offering very little by way of uplift.
The main characters — nearly the only characters — are Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne Laurent (Emmanuelle Riva). (It should be pointed out that the central characters in the great majority of Haneke's films are named Georges and Anne Laurent. No fooling.) They are 80-ish, live in Paris, and have been married forever. She is a classical pianist and teacher; though of middle-class means, they are both of the intellectual/cultural elite, surrounded by books and CDs.
The opening scene shows police and firefighters busting open the door of the Laurents' apartment, thus letting loose a horrible smell. The bedroom doorway has been sealed off with tape, apparently to contain the odor, but the latter has become too strong for such limp protection to be effective. When they break into the bedroom, they find Anne's decaying but (nicely laid out) corpse on the bed, festooned with flower petals.
After the credits, we apparently have entered a flashback: Georges and Anne are inconspicuously in the audience of a piano recital; afterward they visit the performer, one of Anne's former students, backstage, and then ride home on a bus. Entering their place, they discover (oddly) that the front door has been broken open.
The next morning, as they chat at the breakfast table, Anne goes into a trance, reemerging with no realization that she has blacked out for a minute or two. She has, in fact, had a stroke; and it soon becomes clear that she will deteriorate and die. All this is within the first 10 minutes; the remaining hour and 50 minutes will chronicle her decline and its effect on Georges as he tries to care for her.
The Laurents are very nearly what Kurt Vonnegut, in "Cat's Cradle," dubbed a "duprass" — a couple who function as one and therefore will live and die together. But Haneke is working in a more realistic mode than Vonnegut: the Laurents (and by extension the audience) are quite aware that, even in the closest relationship, each is ultimately alone. It's hard to imagine either of them without the other. But the slow separation — as communication becomes harder and painfully frustrating for both — makes matters exponentially worse.
Most of the commentators on "Amour" have focused on its rigorous, unsentimentalized viewpoint. And that is certainly the clearest reading on a first viewing. Haneke's style here, as always, is brutally cold and distant. To say he avoids sentimental manipulation would understate the case; in fact, he sometimes goes so far in the opposite direction as to become anti-sentimentally manipulative. (The extreme of this can be found in his loathsome 1997 "Funny Games" and its equally loathsome 2007 English-language remake.)
Given the built-in temptations the subject matter invites — the irresistible draw of four-handkerchief excess — Haneke's coldness is actually a benefit. One of the ways we deal with the incomprehensible awesomeness (and awfulness) of death is to sentimentalize: Sure, Anakin, Obi-wan and Yoda are dead, but their spectral selves are still there, looking ready to sing "Friends, friends, friends, we will always be."
The final moments of "Amour" seem to provide something similar, but with repeated viewings, the implications become more complex. While much of the film might appear to be steely realism, dissonant moments creep in. The most obvious is a horrifying dream midway through, foreshadowing the ambiguities of the ending.
But there is another intriguing issue, from the very start. In the first shot, the police bust into the apartment. A few minutes later — during the presumed flashback — the first words Georges and Anne speak have to do with the broken lock; apparently someone has, well, busted into the apartment. The couple's response is bizarre: They don't call the police; they don't take even a cursory inventory to see what may have been stolen. Their behavior is anything but realistic.
In conventional editing, the proximity and order of the two "broken door" moments would suggest that they are responding to an event that hasn't yet occurred. But that's impossible unless they are in some kind of time loop or dream or timeless afterlife. Some of the final scenes also have this sort of ambiguity about them. Add to that a clip appearing in the American trailer (but not in the film), which, based on wardrobe and camera angle, seems to be an outtake or alternate version of one of the movie's final shots: Eva (Isabelle Huppert), their daughter, enters the apartment, calling, "Mother?" Since the corresponding shot in the film takes place after the deaths, this would have made no sense. It's not in the film, so it "doesn't count." But the notion that Haneke, a notoriously controlled, fastidious filmmaker, could have even considered such a version, is interesting.
I just used the plural "deaths" above, but do we really even know if Georges is dead? The emotional arc and the opening scenes make us assume so, but, then, where's his body? If he had died outside the apartment, the police would have entered into the apartment sooner. But they don't find a second body in the bedroom. And if he killed himself elsewhere in the apartment, the smell of decay wouldn't have gotten so much worse when the police open up the bedroom. (I momentarily thought it was Trintignant's corpse on the bed, as though the two stars had somehow been morphed into one — Georges and Anne truly united at last.)
The reason I mention all these strange details is that, while "Amour" is, as widely reported, a bracing portrait of the ravages of old age and the pleasures and pains of a longtime marriage, I think it's far more complicated and layered than that characterization suggests.
Let me not forget to mention how perfectly tuned the lead performances are. Riva may suffer the biggest changes, but Trintignant has to portray a wider range of feelings. After 50-some years of great work, his depth here is no surprise at all.

I appreciate all the comments here, really. x)A bob is such a cute haircut -- the name hardly justifies. I'll make sure I post my final haircut when it happens (when I can afford it again...hopefully soon!). Maybe not too short, but I do like the shoulder length to spruce it up. There comes a point where it just doesn't manage well. Goddamn, guys are lucky. $15 trip to the barbers. Done.
What if I actually look good with a buzz cut?
When going short be careful. It's a fine line between cute and edgy and soccer mom

Youth leaders from all over the world gathered in Jordan to build their leadership capacities and raise their awareness on their roles and responsibilities towards sustainable development in the world. Tomorrow's leaders were urged to "Be the Change" and start acting to save the world during a global seminar entitled Advancing Youth Leadership on Sustainable Development held at the United Nations University – International Leadership Institute (UNU/ILI) in Amman, Jordan from October 21- 25, 2007.
With this Global Seminar, UNU – ILI in partnership with The World Conservation Union (IUCN), King Abdullah Fund for Development (KAFD), UNESCO and UNDP Amman offices, University of Jordan, Jordan University for Science and Technology (JUST), and Queen Zein Al Sharaf Institute for Development (ZENID), young potential leaders were introduced to the ecological, social, economic and political dimensions of sustainable development and the latest debates and challenges raised globally on t his issue.
A special encouraging motivation was brought to the young future leaders by a lecture delivered by His Royal Highness Prince Hasan Bin Talal, in which he pointed out the necessity of a super-national authority for West Asia, which follows a concept of cohesion, and concluded with reference to Youth Leadership: "It is better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all".
With interactive methods and experimental & informal learning, the participants between the ages of 20-25 experienced a new approach to the topic of sustainable development, which was brought to them by different lecturers and experts in the field, including Dr. Odeh Jayyousi, IUCN West Asia/ Middle East Regional Director, who presented the Ecological dimension to the participants. Dr. Jairam Reddy, Director of UNU-ILI also presented the Leadership concept, theory and practices in the world.
A short video was presented to the participants on a young leader from Asia who is trying her best to "Be the Change" according to her words, to save the world and encourage other young people to follow this trend. This video was presented by Mr. Edward Kellow, one of the speakers who is the Senior Capacity Development Manager in Leadership for Environment and Development (LEAD) organization.
The participants of the Global Seminar, coming from 20 different countries, explored the practicability of their newly enhanced knowledge in field visits to different representative sites that demonstrate both degradation of the environment and approaches to address sustainability, such as the Dana Nature Reserve.
For more information, please contact Ms. Rania Faouri, IUCN WAME Communications Officer at: [email protected]rg or Dr. Ibtesam Al Atiyat, UNU-ILI Women and Youth Programme Officer at [email protected]

Welcome to It's Time Now! ...Time for What?
To learn how to live now and about a dramatic Age in the world's future that is coming soon! It really is!
Choose from 54 Languages
What's going on in the world? What does it mean for ordinary people like us? We all know that the world is not as it should be and yet mostly we can't quite see why. On It'sTime-Now, all this is explained simply in language easily understood by ordinary people. It is not a highbrow philosophical site for egg-heads! It's a down to earth assessment of life and provides wisdom and truth once commonly known.
Don't you really think it's time to ask some serious question about life and the way the world is going? Questions like:
- "Why is it harder for ordinary people to live these days, even when they work hard?"
- "Why do most people seem to just accept their lot as though there is nothing they can do about it?"
- "Why are political systems getting more and more unable to operate within their means?" Do Governments really have the answers?
- "Why are more and more people malnourished, starving to death and fearful of life?"
- "Why do many people seem to have lost their way in life, some almost beyond any hope?"
There are real answers to all these questions! (not to solve necessarily, but to understand - and YES there are things we can all do) It's just that the media and a busy life may have kept you out of the loop. Or, like many of us, you were just too tired to bother.
You will find things here that you have never heard, even though they are embedded in history and found in reliable predictions of the future. Everyone needs to know! (and also need to DO something!) Few of these truths ever appear in newspapers or on TV, eithe because they are not known there either, or do not see them as important, or are influenced to keep them hidden. Read on to find out.

Chesterton Tribune
Chesterton Plan Commission sees concept plan of future Urschel facility
By JEFF SCHULTZ
Construction for the new Urschel Labs headquarters and manufacturing
facility at Coffee Creek Center is set to break ground in just a few months.
That is what the Chesterton Plan Commission heard at its meeting Thursday
from representatives of Tonn and Blank Construction of Michigan City, the
firm chosen by Urschel for the project.
Senior Project Manager Michael Bailey said construction for the 350,000-plus
square-foot facility could kick off as early as late spring and estimated
the work would be finished in approximately 18 months. Then Urschel will be
able to transfer its equipment and resources from its current Valparaiso
site at their own pace, he said.
"We, as well as Urschel, are very excited at getting it started," Bailey
Mike Ford, of SEH consultants, began the discussion by presenting the
commission with preliminary engineering concepts for the entire 157-acre
site north of the 80/90 toll road and west of CR 200W.
The facility will take up 47 acres in the southeast portion of the property.
Offices will be located along the west side while the manufacturing plant
will be to the east of them. To the south, the plans show loading areas for
trucks which will be accessed by a 25 foot wide driveway.
Employees will have their parking on the north of the building which will be
accessible from CR 200W. Another parking area will in the northwest corner.
Ford also described a proposed curb and gutter system. Storm water will be
transferred in sewer pipes to detention basins west of the plant. Urschel
will use bioswales and grass swales to treat the water before it is
discharged into Coffee Creek, Ford said.
The main waterline will connect to lines following along CR 200W. Water
lines can be extended north of the facility in case of any future
A lift station will be put in somewhere on the open acreage near where three
ANR pipelines, which cross the property diagonally from southwest to
northeast lie, the largest being 42 inches, Ford said.
Commission President George Stone raised questions as to how the increased
traffic patterns would affect CR 200W and the campus' other entry access
from Gateway Boulevard.
"How many trucks a day? How many cars a day will be coming into the plant? I
realize it is going to vary," Stone said.
Bailey and Urschel associates said the company has approximately 360
employees, whose arrival times will "stagger" through the morning from 6 to
8 a.m., the same goes for the drive home which ranges from employees leaving
from 2:30 to 6 p.m. each work day.
As for trucks, the average expected is about twelve full size semis per day
that will use the driveway from Gateway Blvd. to bring in steel and other
materials and travel over a bridge that will cross Coffee Creek before it
reaches the facility.
Stone also questioned how the bridge will be used and constructed since the
town in its long term plans intends to connect Gateway Blvd. with Dickinson
Road to the north.
Town Engineer Mark O'Dell said that campus will be a planned unit
development (PUD) and that Commission attorney Charles Parkinson will meet
with Urschel to discuss design details. The plan for the bridge is to pave
it with asphalt, O'Dell said.
Bailey said the bridge will be finished before the building opens for
Stone said he was pleased that the issues were being addressed.
"I'm glad it's under discussion," he said.
Other Commission members inquired about Urschel's plans for landscaping.
Tonn and Blank architect Larry Ballah said there will be a landscaping plan
but one has not been developed yet. He added that the concept for the
building will be to use earth tones to "blend it in with the natural
Sign ordinance
gets committee
Also on Thursday, the Commission voted to form a committee to scrutinize the
town's sign ordinance and make recommendations for amendments.
Stone and fellow Commission member Sig Niepokoj appointed themselves to the
committee which is likely to grow to include other representatives.
With talk of making changes for months and input from the Duneland/Chesterton
Chamber of Commerce at the last meeting, Niepokoj advised that the committee
set its deadline at the end of May.
Commission members in January set out to draft amendments to the ordinance,
especially in Business-1 and 2 zoning districts.
Town Manager Bernie Doyle said the last time the ordinance had been amended
was in April 2010.

Nothing illustrates the cynicism and intellectual dishonesty of the mainstream media better than its treatment of John McCain. The MSM likes to harp on the theme of McCain's alleged transformation from gutsy maverick in 2000 to pitiable party man in 2008. In reality, though he's the same guy. To be sure, McCain no longer is pounding George Bush, but then he's not running against Bush this time. The real test is on the issues. Here McCain has done very little trimming, and continues to take positions inconsistent with the views of the Republican base.
This was evident again on Sunday when, in an appearance of Fox News, McCain lashed out at the harsh interrogations techniques we've used on high value detainees in the war on terror. It's unlikely that this position will endear him to the Republican base — it certainly will make it very difficult for me to vote for him in the primary. But it also illustrates that McCain is a man of principle, and every bit the maverick he was in 2000.
Why does the MSM report it the other way? In part, it's because he's no longer attacking a man most MSM members intensely dislike. In larger part, I think, it's because of his uncompromising support of the war in Iraq. Here, again, McCain is (a) true to himself — he's been calling for something like the surge for several years and (b) a maverick — pushing for "more" of something as unpopular as the war in Iraq goes against the grain.
But the MSM never liked McCain because he's a maverick and a man of principle. Its members liked him because they thought he was useful.

Laudrup preparing for Michu setback
Michael Laudrup admits Swansea could be without Michu for as long as three months when the forward eventually has to undergo ankle surgery.
The Spaniard missed a month of action after hurting his left ankle in the derby defeat at the hands of Cardiff in November, but it is a long-standing problem in his right ankle which has rendered him doubtful for Sunday's clash with Everton.
Laudrup has revealed the 27-year-old will require an operation, but stated it is a problem the player could yet complete his career with.
However, Michu's obvious frustrations at his inability to produce his best form due to the injury could mean an operation comes sooner rather than later.
Swansea manager Laudrup says the club are weighing up information from their medical team before making a decision, but revealed in a worst-case scenario he could face three months on the sidelines, depending on the nature of the surgery required.
A lay-off of that length would effectively end any lingering hopes the former Rayo Vallecano man has of making Spain's World Cup squad, having won his first cap in October.
Laudrup said: "I've had one or two conversations with him, but we haven't made a decision yet.
"We're taking in all the information.
"There are two kinds of operation (keyhole and then more detailed) and we still need some information, but in the worst case it is three months."
But the Dane does not believe the World Cup in Brazil is in Michu's thinking when it comes to the injury.
"He wants to be fit. He's not thinking about the World Cup," said Laudrup.
"Even if he is 100 per cent fit, he knows it will be very difficult to get into that squad.
"He's competing with Fernando Torres, Alvaro Negredo, Fernando Llorente and David Villa.
"He's just frustrated that he hasn't been able to perform at his best level because he has played a lot of games at 80 per cent of his physical ability.
"He's angry at himself because of the injury."
Laudrup will wait as long as possible to see if Michu is available to face the in-form Toffees, but admitted his build-up has not been ideal.
"I don't know if he can play in the short term," said Laudrup. "We will try to get the information as quickly as possible.
"He hasn't trained for two days.
"He played at Norwich on Sunday. We were off Monday and Tuesday, he trained on Wednesday, but it hurt on Thursday, even walking.
"We will see on Saturday and decide."

Big wall climbing Greenland style: the central and right-hand pillars of Mt. Nalumasortoq. The new route set up by the Italian/French expedition takes a line up the middle of the righthand pillar.
Photo Mario Manica
|Nalumasortoq, Third Pillar
There was just one left. The third pillar. The highest. And to put an end to it, the Greenland 2000 expedition left for the Tasermiut Fjord in the extreme south of Greenland to climb a fantastic big wall, the spectacular West Face of Mount Nalumasortoq's Third Pillar.
The Greenland 2000 expedition members
Greenland 2000 was composed of Jerome Arpin, (a 26 year-old Mountain Guide from Chamonix - Vibram Team), Mario Manica (a 37 year-old mountaineering instructor from Rovereto, Italy - Team Camp & Team Mello's), Giancarlo Ruffino (a 36 year-old, from Varese, Italy and member of the Italian Alpine Academy) and Francesco Vaudo (a 28 year-old aspiring Mountain Guide from Verbania, Italy - Vibram Team).
In 1995 a British expedition made the first ascent of the left-hand pillar. A year later the Greenland veteran Christian Dialphin led an expedition that successfully climbed the second pillar. The Welsh duo Nigel Shepherd and Ian Wilson attempted the third pillar that same year, but were forced to retreat after 6 pitches due to an accident.

Mount Timpanogos Wilderness
Utah Wilderness Association
Utah Wilderness Association
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness (map) in 1984 and it now has a total of 10,518 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Utah and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionPart of the Wasatch Mountain Range, situated between American Fork Canyon on the north and Provo Canyon on the south, Mount Timpanogos Wilderness offers abundant rugged terrain embellished with waterfalls and summer wildflowers. You'll find forget-me-nots, alpine buttercups, bluebells, and columbine blooming in high alpine meadows. There are also outstanding glacial cirques and moraines. Below the tree line are forests of aspen, Douglas fir, subalpine fir, limber pine, Gambel oak, maple, and chokecherry. You'll have an excellent chance of spotting Rocky Mountain goats in the Emerald Lake area, as well as mule deer, elk, and moose. In early summer the rapidly melting snow can cause dangerous high water stream crossings. As this flowing water melts snow and ice beneath winter created avalanche piles it often creates snow bridges. You should avoid exploring or playing on these dangerous bridges because they may suddenly collapse. There are about 17 miles of maintained trails accessible from two trailheads: Timpooneke and Mount Timpanogos. Both trails lead to the summit of Mount Timpanogos at 11,753 feet. The stretch between Timpooneke and Aspen Grove is 12 miles long and passes through the heart of the area. Due to high use on Saturdays and Holidays from July through mid-September parking may not be available at either trailhead. To avoid the congestion it is suggested to plan your hike Sunday-Friday during this time frame.

Courtney's three:
1. I inadvertently crossed off some NYC Bucket list things – one of which I didn't even know should be ON the list.
Top of the Rock is beautiful. The absolute best views. Hands down. I highly recommend it to everyone, even if you've lived here for 10 years.
(Although, I am a little biased because I didn't have to pay. My momma and Uncle came to visit on Saturday, which means I got the mom-star-treatment.)
We accidentally walked through the Central Park Zoo. And I did see a seal. Does this count?
2. I ate a delicious pumpkin cookie today that my co-worker made. She got the recipe from here (she skipped the toffee chips, still so good!) The recipe looks soo simple, so definitely something to keep in mind.
3. My sister is pregnant and it takes all of my will-power not to buy her shirts like this. I also sent her the link to Gina's cupcake gender reveal and told her I'd bake the cupcakes. Too much…?! 😉 I might be worse than my mother…
Three things from Jamie because I wanted to play the game too:
1. When I get married, I want to wear a dress like this. Or maybe just wear this dress- you think she'll let me borrow it? That's not tacky, right? Danny pretends he is not amused by the "when I get married" game. It's okay D$, I know the truth, you sappy son of a gun.
2. I love lifting ridiculously heavy weights. It makes me feel really cool and tough. The callouses on my hands remind me of my old days as a competitive gymnast. Sure, I didn't stay on the team long enough to compete because four nights a week interfered with my eighth grade social life- but the pride in having a strong tough body is still one in the same.
3. After a conversation with Alyssa on how I've felt so BLAH with my appearance over the past couple months, she suggested I get some cute side bangs. I decided to listen to her advice and go for it- adding a nice trim too.
Only problem is- I somehow walked out of the salon with a strange feather floating underneath my pound of hair. Let's play a game called "how long will it take Danny to notice?"
Stay classy, kids.

Hehe. I'd be very worried if my reputation *were* considered big enough to swing that sort of decision. :-) But you know what really gets me is that so many companies we've dealt with don't officially support Debian or Ubuntu, but when you talk to their engineers, you discover that they do their actual development on it, and port to RHAS/SLES afterwards. HP's support for Debian has been extremely good though, behind the scenes, even if it doesn't often make it through to the front desk. Large chunks of Debian's infrastructure are hosted in HP datacentres (notably in Fort Collins). Sadly the support does not extend to their workstation product lines; getting Debian to run smoothly on their business desktops is a royal PITA.

Research studies have shown that taking extra vitamin B6 (also known as pyridoxine) helps relieve queasiness for some pregnant women, though no one knows exactly how it does this.
Pregnant women need only 1.9 milligrams (mg) of this vitamin a day to help make antibodies, red blood cells, and neurotransmitters and to meet the needs of their developing baby.
Vitamin B6 is found in a wide variety of foods, so you may satisfy this requirement by eating a varied and nutritious diet. Foods such as bananas, nuts, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, lean meats, and fish are good sources of vitamin B6. (Prenatal vitamins contain B6 as well.
To ease nausea and vomiting, your practitioner may suggest that you start by taking 25 mg, three times a day. (Up to 200 mg of vitamin B6 a day can be used to treat morning sickness.)
Check with your healthcare provider. She can tell you how much to take and whether the amount in your prenatal vitamin should count as one of the doses. (The amount of vitamin B6 in prenatal supplements varies.)
Don't take more B6 than your caregiver recommends. Too much can cause numbness and nerve damage for you and may not be safe for your developing baby.

Abstract: Stonehenge: New Discoveries
Stonehenge is one of the great mysteries of the prehistoric world. After seven years of new excavations and research, archaeologists now have a completely new understanding of the date and purpose of this enigmatic monument. One of the key break-through has been to understand how Stonehenge formed part of a wider complex of monuments and landscape features within Salisbury Plain. Professor Parker Pearson will present the results of the Stonehenge Riverside Project, and discuss the current theories about Stonehenge – an astronomical observatory, a centre of healing or a place of the ancestors – and the identity of its Neolithic builders.
We now know much more about the people who built Stonehenge – where they came from, how they lived, and how they were organized. Not only has the project discovered a large settlement of many houses, thought to be for Stonehenge's builders, at the nearby henge enclosure of Durrington Walls but it has also re-dated Stonehenge and investigated its surrounding monuments and sites, many of which were hitherto undated and unknown. This presentation will provide a brief overview of some of the project's highlights, including the recent discovery of Bluestonehenge. One of the greatest mysteries – why some of Stonehenge's stones were brought from 180 miles away – is currently being investigated and its brand new results will be presented at the lecture.

Abstract: Building the Parthenon
From building accounts, we know exactly how a temple was built: year 1, foundations for the colonnade; year 2, colonnade and foundations for the cella; year 3, cella; year 4, ceilings over peripatos and cella; year 5, roof. And we know how long this process took for a temple of standard dimensions (e.g., Hephaisteion): five years with several more years for miscellaneous furnishings. We can also match this testimony with temples that are unfinished at various stages in the process.
The Parthenon is more complicated because it is much larger and heavily decorated with sculpture. Its building accounts run from 447/6 to 443/2, and their fragments give (or imply) the following information: 447/6, foundations; 446/5, interruption (Euboean campaign?); 445/4-444/3, colonnade; 443/2, Parthenos begun; 441/0, colonnade fluted, ceilings begun; 440/439, ceilings finished, Parthenos gilded, pedimental sculptures begun; 439/8, roof finished; 438/7, dedication; 437/6-433/2, miscellaneous expenses, pedimental sculptures finished.
Using the schema outlined for conventional temples, we can flesh out the Parthenon's building process (quarrying begins early and continues to 436/5): stage 1 (447/6), foundation work; stage 2 (445/4-444/3), colonnade and metopes; stage 3 (443/2-442/1), cella; stage 4 (441/0-440/439), frieze, ceilings, roof; stage 5 (439/8), roof finished.

CATIA Systems Engineering integrates complex product behaviour into the product definition, enabling a lifelike experience which predicts real world performance.
With CATIA Systems Engineering , system architects, product engineers, designers and technical experts define both technical and business aspects. The RFLP approach (Requirements, Functional, Logical and Physical Design) upholds a full traceability during product development and product introduction. This helps shortening the gap between requirements analysis and the choice of the right solution.
CATIA Systems DBM Export for Simulink
A complete systems model developed in CATIA DBM can be simulated within a Simulink environment
Today, more and more equipment such as specialized machine tools, vehicles, aircraft or nuclear power plants, control logic is performed by programs embedded within Electronic Control Units (ECU's). Often written on their own, these controller programs lack overall simulation of the controller coupled to the formal model of the controlled equipment.
To stimulate and validate these ECU's, CATIA Systems DBM export for Simulink enables systems engineers to export the plant model code to a MATLAB/Simulink environment. As a result, the important Simulink community of systems engineers can benefit from these Modelica plant models developed in CATIA DBM with its tight integration to 3D CAD modeling. The Simulink interface ensures the simulation of both the controlled plant and controller models to validate the closed loop system.
With this export capability, systems engineers tighten their cross-discipline collaboration – whether they are CATIA Systems V6 or Simulink users.
- Export a Modelica plant model developed in CATIA DBM to use it in a Simulink environment
- Strengthen collaborative work between systems engineers using CATIA Systems V6 or Simulink
- Refine easily the design from simple start model to detailed product
- Re-use components in many different situations and reduce maintenance time
Ability to generate Simulink "S-Functions" from CATIA DBM models to run them in a Simulink environment.enables simulation in a MATLAB/Simulink environment release R2006a (ver. 7.3) or later.
Use the Simulink interface on platforms other than Microsoft Windowsas it is implemented using a two-step export/import procedure without any dependence on DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange).
Component oriented approach for complex multi-domain systemsIt is not immediately obvious from the block diagram what this model contains and to be able to understand what effects are included. The engineer would have to figure out what equations are represented in this model and then decide if this system of equations included the required effects. The component orientated approach is much more efficient.
