After several emails with Matt
After several emails with Mattijs, It has come to the conclusion that this is a very possible and interesting idea, but one that would require the community to participate in greatly for it to be a success.
The idea is to use the 4 dual-core ATI Radeon video cards that also have a PPU (physics processing unit) that can do intensive calculating. The drawback is that the SDK for this tech is WinXP only. It bypasses the 3D.directx input giving direct access.
There is also support for NVidia, but ATI is in a much better position for paralell processing.
Here is the Wiki on the concept of Stream Processing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Stream_Processor
Here is the Tech manual for the CTM software: http://ati.amd.com/companyinfo/resea..._CTM_Guide.pdf
Here is the ATI FireStream SDK:
Here are the Dev Tools:
More ATI links:
If there is any interest, but you need more info, PLEASE post what you need. I havent done any programming since the Apple IIc, but I can do the research necessary to find your answers.
There is no one else working on this that I have found after about 9 hours of search and research so far. The only references is "Someday they will get around to it...".
I am a solutions provider for AMD as well, and I have inquired as to a testbed computer demo for this project. If they refuse, I can build one for $1400 with mid-range cards with a Phenom 9600 and 8GB 800mhz RAM. This idea started when I was starting my research to build my HTPC, and I have the funds to build the mid-range one for this project if AMD doesnt reply to my request.
Anyways, I hope that this takes off, because if it works well, it will be industry breaking due to the cost savings. Since a midrange system with a Dual Core cost about $800, alot more businesses could afford several.
I also propose this to be a sold product. If the community is going to work on this, then they should be compensated. I dont mean to offend anyone, but in a serious business environment, the customer wants service and accountability, and those simply are not free. There are Formula 1 teams that pay $50M for clusters to run this with General Processors. What this project would do is use the Quad Core CPU to Vector it to 8 128bit PPU's. That makes the system far beyond what the Cell Processor can do, and the hardware is quite literally built for THIS purpose, but it has yet to be done in the industry.
What do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks alot!

If you're interested in CFD development for the GPU, I've done a fair amount of work in the area. The job isn't easy, but I'd be happy to share my experiences.
My work primarily involved OpenGL, which is at a layer below all the FireStream/CUDA stuff (and honestly, a better bet for performance tuning). Since OpenGL is cross-platform, one of your issues is taken care of.

Care to explain the cross platorm issue?
And if you are interested, can you start some dialogue on what you think it would deffinately need, a few things that we would want to avoid, and how best to take advantage of the cards.
I would really appreciate this thread growing with the combined experience of this board.
Thanks alot!

Hello Chris, @doing a WinXP
Hello Chris,
@doing a WinXP-CrossFireX port:
You mean a port of OpenFOAM to CrossFire? That would be nice indeed. Or for the Cell, or for the Nvidia GPU.
@I also propose this to be a sold product.
A sold product based on OpenFOAM which is a GPL licensed software? You understand the implication of the GPL license don't you?
@If the community is going to work on this, then they should be compensated.
How would you propose the community be compensated?
Please take no offense of these questions, I don't think you are barking at the wrong tree. This is a very interesting subject. It just raises a few interesting questions.
I apologize for the previous p
I apologize for the previous post. The thesis is available here (Thank you, Mattijs):
I apologize for any misunderst
I apologize for any misunderstanding about making a pay-to-use product. I understand that the OpenFOAM general license forbids this, but if the port requires a complete re-write from scratch, I don't think that it would violate the terms.
I am not trying to do anything shady, I just understand that very few people devote the kind of time and frustration inherent with a project such as this without some kind of compensation. And there is also the fact that if a corporation wanted to use the software, they would most likely require support from an entity, not a messageboard.
I personally dont require compensation for this project, as just doing something groundbreaking has enough appeal to keep me interested, but I cannot expect others to feel that way about my idea, understand?
So, I'm going to dig through the GPGPU page and see whats up there.
Is there enough interest to do this? Is it plausible to simply port OpenFOAM as-is to windows while enabling CrossFire support? Or would it be a "from scratch" project? How do we go about starting the organizing and division of purpose that can get this started? Project management is what I do in the real world, but I have no experience doing these types of projects online.
Anyways, more discussion and reference material is welcome. Please, share the wisdom!
To my knowledge two assumption
To my knowledge two assumptions are not correct:
>I apologize for any misunderstanding about making

>OpenFOAM general license forbids this
The GPL does in no way prohibit you from charging customers for the product. The question is only if this makes sense since they are allowed to distribute it freely.
>but if the port requires a complete re-write
>from scratch, I don't think that it would violate
>the terms.
There are opinions that re-writing some code which is geared to GPLed code (not just to the underlying algorithms) produces a derived work which has to be GPLed again.
If you ran some automatic translator which produces code for the GPU from OpenFOAM, the result is definitely derived code. If you do the same manually, it is derived, too.
By announcing your idea of re-writing the code, you will find it difficult to convince GPL hardliners, that you don't produce derived work.
I just want to mention this before you start. Still I am interested to see results.
I think the main question shou
I think the main question should be if the licence of the ATI toolkit and of the libraries is compatible with GPL. If not, as I think, you can't even link to OpenFOAM libraries without violating GPL (same reason why nVidia drivers can't be distributed in compiled form).
So, are these insurmountable h
So, are these insurmountable hurdles, or are we just splitting hairs?
I am willing to to anything that I to help in this project, and I appreciate that the community is looking at the legal angle on this.
About the GPL, I say that the community knows it better than I, so would it be legal or not? I find it very hard to believe that ATI would specifically make a PPU and then make it illegal to use however.
But, what do I know?
I don't know ATI's toolkit lic
I don't know ATI's toolkit license, and therefore in the following I simply assume that you'd be allowed to use it for your programs rather liberally, because as you say otherwise such a toolkit is not of much use.
The problem lies on the GPL side, which I guess Alberto meant when he said that ATI's toolkit and the GPL may be incompatible:
GPL forbids you to link GPLed code with other code that (among other requirements) gives the 'receiver' less rights concerning the code distribution or with code that is distributed as binary only.
You can call this splitting hairs if you are up to violating the GPL and have enough financial power to fight those who might try to enforce license compliance on you.
To answer your question: violating any license is illegal in most countries. The GPL was developed for some reason. You may be interested to learn the difference in contrast to code released into the 'public domain'.
I don't understand why you want to start from OpenFOAM if you want to develop an application out of commercial interest. There are several comparable packages available, including the sources, with a sufficiently liberal license that encourages you to sell the product. You have to buy those.
If you discover that ATI's license *is* compatible with the GPL (which I doubt, but I don't say it is *not*), you still have the option to license your project derived from OpenFOAM under some compatible intersection of both licenses and sell it in compliance with those terms. Otherwise I don't see a legal way to surmount this hurdle.
I thought I heard somewhere th
I thought I heard somewhere that ATI was going to open-source their drivers? It must have been on slashdot.org that I read it, but I might just be remembering things. That may, or may not, have much to do with the SDK they use with windows systems, though.
Chris, As much as I like GP
As much as I like GPL'd open source, I think you'd be able to go ahead with your project provided that you comply with the licenses.
Assuming you write code from scratch for the ATI PPU, then you are only bound by their licensing restrictions (probably not GPL).
To use this new code with OpenFOAM, will require you to hook into the OpenFOAM data structures. As such, this interface itself would be considered a derived work and must be GPL'd.
This is the same approach that nvidia uses with its Linux graphics drivers - the core is proprietary, the interface to the kernel is (must be) open source. This may annoy many people, since it's not completely open source, but it's legal.
As someone previously noted, however, if you rewrite parts of the OpenFOAM solvers for the PPU, it would be very much be a derived work and thus GPL. I personally think it'll be quite a challenge writing an OpenFOAM solver using the PPU without looking at (and copying bits from) OpenFOAM.
One possibility would be to write an open source port and charge for support. Obviously, not everyone who uses the code will pay for support, but if the support provides a level of added value, some will (cf. OpenCFD).
Forming a consortium of companies and institution to fund the port is another possibility, albeit an annoying one to organize.
Thanks guys, I believe that I
Thanks guys, I believe that I am going to move this project question over to the GPGPU.org forums. If it is going to be a from scratch write, it would probably be better to harness the gpu specific knowledge over there.
Anyone interested is VERY welcome to attend!
GPL does not infect downstream
GPL does not infect downstream, i.e. linking OpenFOAM to a closed source library does not make that library GPL. Thus using the ATI/AMD SDK to write a proprietary closed-source plug-in solver library to run OpenFOAM on graphics hardware would not violate the GPL as long as:
1) the library did not link to OpenFOAM components
2) does not re-use OpenFOAM code.
You could imagine how mad Nvidia/AMD would be to learn there proprietary graphics drivers have unilaterally been declared Open Source because GPL Linux desktop components link to them!
That said, I don't think graphics hardware will be very good at running OpenFOAM. The architecture is all wrong - too little memory and too many processing units for the available bandwidth. So a re-write from scratch using an approach better suited to graphics hardware is probably the best idea.
Good luck.
Hello Chris, to clarify what
Hello Chris,
to clarify what I said, the GPL is not preventing you from doing what you want. It is exactly what nVidia and ATI do with their not open source drivers.
You can write the application and provide the user the source code, which can of course use a proprietary toolkit inside. And you can also charge the user to provide the source code. This is perfectly allowed by the GPL.
What is important is that you don't distribute the _linked_binaries_, and let the user compile the software by himself. Noone prevents you from providing an automatic tool that does this task.
You can't also forbid who got the source code to modify and redistribute it.
I hope this helps.
With kind regards,
Forgot to say, AMD/ATI is open
Forgot to say, AMD/ATI is opening up its graphical drivers and seems interested in open source development (see cooperation with Novell for the drivers, for example).
Probably if the demand of opening the toolkit is big enough, they could consider opening the toolkit too, which would solve all the doubts :-)
Keep us informed. It's an interesting idea.
With kind regards,
That is a funny way to discuss
That is a funny way to discuss copyleft. Basically you are saying that we are allowed to develop libraries although they could be linked against GPL'd code. I think this was not the point.
However, it is still not in agreement with GPL if you build a proprietary library which can *only* be used when linked to GPL'd code. Before we continue discussing how we like or don't like to interprete the license terms, Chris should read them at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html and especially the paragraph
(begin quote)
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
(end quote)
Hello, Eugene and Alberto a
Eugene and Alberto are both right, of course:
See here : http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLPluginsInNF
And also here : http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq....PLCommercially
And to the best of my knowledge, Intel is selling very nice libraries for Linux. Nowhere does it said I cannot link with GPL code. And doing so will not GPLed those commercial libraries.
The GPL license is all about "distributing" code.

Five inches longer, the extended shaft of the VMAX SHO 150 brings performance to multi-species boats, inshore boats and other applications that require 25-inch shaft length.
The next-gen I-4 V MAX SHO 175 and 150 descend from the 2013 IBEX® Award-winning 2.8L I-4 marine platform. IBEX is an extension of Professional BoatBuilder® magazine and the National Marine Manufacturer's Association®.
Exhilarating top speed and hole shot and incredible fuel economy—they're earmarks of the V MAX SHO DNA. They're also what made our first I-4 V MAX SHO, the VF150, so popular. Now, its 2013 IBEX® award-winning design is being released in a 175hp model.
The new I-4 V MAX SHO 175 serves up exhilarating top speed that bests previous models by more than 5 mph.
The new I-4 V MAX SHO 115 is the lightest DOHC 115HP four stroke on the water, and is even nearly 20 pounds lighter than a competitor's two stroke.
The next-gen, I-4 V MAX SHO four strokes feature:
Smarter Fuel Economy
The I-4 V MAX SHOs delivers the incredibly efficient, clean and quiet performance you expect from a four stroke. Using up to 40 percent less fuel than a traditional
carbureted two stroke, the savings alone should be enough to get you on board.
Extra Space
Four-stroke outboards like the I-4 V MAX SHOs eliminate the need for an external oil tank. That saves approximately 28 pounds and frees up storage space for tackle and other supplies.
Easy Rigging
The new four-stroke I-4 V MAX SHOs feature mechanical controls that make them compatible with most bass, bay and flats boats. To complete your outboard control system, choose from analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link® gauges.
Power and Performance
From the four-cylinder DOHC powerhead with four valves per cylinder, to the counterbalancing technology, each feature of the I-4 V MAX SHOs is efficiently engineered for smooth, quiet performance.

Injures can happen in any sports at any time especially in football its a common thing. But sometimes things can go very worst and an injury can end the career of any player. Football is a tough sport in which even a bad tackle can break your leg in just a second. To make things more clear about what actually can happen in football here is the list of top 10 broken leg injuries in football history.
1. David Busst
David Busst is a former English footballer and the current football community manager at Football League One side Coventry City. In1996, he got his leg broken in a match against Manchester United. He had a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula and was never able to play football again. It took 12 minutes just to clear his blood from the field.
2. Eduardo da Silva
In 2008, the Arsenal player Eduardo da Silva got a tackle from Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor. As a result of this tackle Martin Taylor was sent out of the ground and Eduardo da Silva suffered broken left fibula and dislocated his left ankle. It took a 1 year of recovery before Silva was able to play again.
3. Djibril Cisse
Djibril Cisse is a french footballer who plays as a striker for FC Kuban Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League. His leg has got broken at two separate occasions once playing for Liverpool in 2004 and then while playing for France in 2006.
4. Marcin Wasilewski
Marcin Wasilewski is a Polish defender who plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. and the Poland national football team. He got his ankle broken with fractures of tibia and fibula when the opposition defender Alex Witse put a foot on his foot.
5. Aaron Ramsey
Aaron Ramsey plays for Arsenal and the Wales national football team. In 2010, Ramsey's leg got broken in the Premier League when the defender of Stoke City, Ryan Shawcross tried to tackle the young footballer. It took Aron almost 9 months to make his come back from the injury.
6. Jacob Olesen
Jacob Olesen is a Danish football striker. While playing for his team in Danish League he suffered a terrible ankle injury and broke his tibia & fibula. After missing the football action for 8 months Jacob made his recovery from the injury.
7. Inigo Díaz de Cerio

I never suggested to translate them into javascript, I just suggested to do something like function handleTransition(state) { var fsm = cocoon.getComponent("FSM"); // here you get your legacy code sendPage(fsm.getNextState(state)); // here you use it } Tell me: is this *so* unreasonable? I think it would be even much less work than to implement a wrapper extending the provided abstract flow-hook interfaces. True, there is some speed overhead due to the rhino interpretation phase, but for rad prototyping, the above approach works great even for legacy stuff. -- Stefano.

David W. Brankle, who stole $175,141 during the nearly two-year spree, had no prior criminal record and said he never intended to hurt anyone.
"I went in to get the money and that was it," Brankle, 47, said at his sentencing in federal court.
Federal authorities could not recall a more prolific solo bank bandit, said prosecutor Terry Lehmann. Brankle admitted robbing banks in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Florida between April 2002 and December 2003.
Brankle said he skipped banks where he saw a pregnant or elderly teller or Girl Scouts outside. He said he regrets robbing the banks and that he will be away from his son, now 6.
"My mother worked in the bank industry," he said. "She was a teller. She knows what it's like. She got robbed."
But Lehmann said Brankle showed no compassion for the bank tellers who were given threatening notes.
"There are people who had to quit their jobs. They couldn't stand to think about the prospect," Lehmann said.
Brankle was caught in 2003, a day after he outran police who tried to pull him over for a traffic offense in Indiana. He had robbed a bank about 12 days earlier, police said.
In his car, authorities found a wig, caps that looked like those in a number of the surveillance videos and copies of notes like the holdup notes, Lehmann said.
Brankle was sentenced under a plea deal that also requires him to pay restitution if he should come into any money. He is believed to have spent the money he stole, investigators said.
He could have been sentenced to life in prison.
Brankle typically handed the bank teller a computer-printed note that investigators said rarely varied: "This is a holdup. I have a gun and will use it. All large bills, both drawers, no dye packs, no alarms. Be smart, be quick, go home alive."
Brankle said Wednesday he was armed only with a can of Mace.

Another local soldier has lost his life fighting for freedom in a foreign land.
The Department of Defense announced Sunday the death of an Villa Rica soldier and Alexander High School grad who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
Staff Sgt. Joshua J. Bowden, 28, of Villa Rica died Aug. 31, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, of injuries sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with small arms fire while on dismounted patrol.
He was assigned to the 242nd Ordnance Battalion (EOD), 71st Ordnance Group (EOD), Fort Carson, Colo. Bowden was an explosive ordnance disposal specialist.
Bowden was a 2003 graduate of Alexander High school where he was a two-sport athlete and was the captain of the school's soccer team in his senior year.
Alexander's Stephen Beatty was the soccer coach at Alexander when Bowden played there and remembered him an an outstanding athlete and a better person.
"Our hearts go out to his entire family," Beatty said. "He was a tremendous young man and one that was well-loved here. He was the kind of person who stayed in touch and just last Spring he came back to visit when he was home on leave. He was a great person, who worked hard and just had a special love for life. He was the kind of young man who no matter what he did, he would work to be the best. It doesn't surprise me that that was still the way he was as a soldier. I can't imagine what his family is going through, but he will always be in our hearts."
Bowden joined the Army in late 2005. He was on his second deployment. He previously deployed to Afghanistan from 2008-2009.
His awards include the Purple Heart, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor device, NATO Medal, Combat Action Badge, Parachute Badge, Air Assault Badge and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge.
Douglas County Board of Commissioners Chairman Tom Worthan offered his condolences to Bowden's family.
"We grieve with Josh's family and friends over the loss of this brave soldier who died defending freedom," Worthan said. "We know that God has a special place in Heaven for these souls who willingly stand between us and evil. We will be praying for Josh and his family during these difficult days."
Douglas County School System Athletic Director and Director of Safety Georgie Chip is a military man who was at Alexander during Bowden's time there. He said that Bowden will leave behind a legacy.
"It had been a long time since I had visited with him, but he was a tremendous soccer player, a great kid with the kind of personality that people just gravitated towards," Chip said. "I saw where he had actually been called on to do a demonstration for Congress on the kind of work that he did. That is a tribute to him. Working with explosives is a demanding job. But to do it well, and to do that job on two separate deployments – that is a testament to the person he really was."
Two members of his platoon posted a letter explaining more about the mission and talked about what Bowden meant to them.
"In the early morning hours of 31 August 2013, Staff Sgt, Joshua Bowden died of wounds received while supporting a Special Frrces Operational Detachment-Alpha during a targeted patrol, Capt Jeremy Tullis and Sgt. Chris Phillips wrote. "Josh was an integral part of his platoon and the 748th as a whole. We know that all of you share in the deep sense of loss that we all fee; no one can replace Josh in our hearts or formation.
"Many members of the EOD community from across the United States were with him as he started his journey home on Sept. 1. Please keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this healing process in this difficult time."
Douglas County Department of Communications and Community Relations Director Wes Tallon said they have been in contact with the family and the county will assist them as needed.
"The family has headed to Delaware to be there when Josh is returned there," Tallon said. "The county has offered whatever services that we can provide to the family during this difficult time."
Details of any possible memorial services for the fallen hero have not been released, but will be made available as they become known.
This is the second local soldier and Alexander graduate to die in recent years in Afghanistan. U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Scott Harper, 21, of Winston was killed on Oct. 13, 2011 when his unit was ambushed while on a mission in Afghanistan.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Dear Abby: I have an inordinate fear of dining out by myself. Whenever I enter a restaurant alone, I am seized with a feeling that everyone in the room is staring at me and wondering why I couldn't find someone to eat with. Because I am single, live alone, and don't know how to cook, I find myself in this situation quite often. What can I do? Self-Conscious in Miami
Dear Self-Conscious in Miami: Easy solution -- take my husband out to eat with you, and believe me, after listening to him drone on with his tedious stories, you will forever consider dining alone a blessing. If that doesn't interest you, try lunch or dinner at Joe Allen in South Beach. The staff is good at putting folks at ease, and everyone else in the unpretentious, pared-down room will be too busy digging into their meat loaf with mashed potatoes, sautéed calf's liver, and homemade prosciutto-and-ricotta-stuffed ravioli to even notice you. Besides, you will be so enthralled with your gazpacho Andaluz, goat cheese pizza, and cherry cobbler -- or perhaps banana cream pie -- you won't notice anyone either. They don't call this comfort food for nothing. And prices are moderate enough (almost all main courses are less than $20) that you can keep coming back until you are a regular. Most diners here are. After dinner, slide up to the bar, which is generally filled with gregarious locals. It wouldn't hurt if you schmoozed a little; perhaps you might find yourself a mate with some culinary skills. Bon appétit!
In the beer wasteland that is South Florida, Ray Rigazio owns an oasis: the Abbey Brewing Company. Since taking the helm in 1995, he has worked hard to make this microbrewery nothing like a typical South Beach bar. He rid the door of snobbery and, more important, the refrigerators of quotidian beers. In their place chills an eclectic selection of brews from around the world, including the hard-to-find La Fin du Monde. His own recipes are not brewed on the premises but by Key West and Ybor City brewing companies, and Rigazio's calorie-rich assortment of ales packs a punch. His Father Theodore's Imperial Stout won a gold medal at this year's Best Florida Beer Championships in Tampa, and his Belgian-style Brother Ban's Double snagged the silver.
What is your greatest triumph?
I think the greatest triumph Ive achieved is bringing great crafted beer to South Florida. When I came here twelve years ago, the best beer you could get was maybe a common import. Now I see dozens and dozens of restaurants carrying great microbeers and hundreds of thousands of people drinking them.
Nowadays the 210-acre enclave south of Fifth Street, which used to be a no man's land populated by graffiti and panhandlers, is indisputably Myles Chefetz's land. The Miami native has marked his territory with four of the most popular restaurants in Miami Beach -- Nemo, Big Pink, Shoji Sushi, and Prime One Twelve. When Chefetz, a former real estate attorney, opened Nemo, his first South Florida spot, in 1995, it shared space with a boarded-up crack house. The area has improved, but it seems nothing can deter his insatiable appetite for accomplishing what he set out to do. Not even Mother Nature. Even without power in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, his crew was still at it, slinging burgers off a grill set up on a Second Street sidewalk.
What is your greatest triumph?
That's a pretty general question. I mean, there are a lot of them. To be able to loan my family money when they need it. How about to be able to loan my family money when they need it -- without interest!
The Argentines have tasty empanadas, wonderful chorizos, delightful sweetbreads, and charming ceviches. But let's quickly establish one thing: A true Argentine culinary experience is a steak-eating experience. Argentina is, after all, a place where eating a decent rib eye is a birthright. For the penultimate carnivore splurge in South Florida, head to The Knife in Coconut Grove. With its thriving community of exiled Argentines, the Magic City has numerous parillas that serve heaping platters of red meat. But what is extra-special about The Knife -- a bright, airy, no-frills upstairs joint with a giant barbecue pit in the middle -- is the price. For $23.85 at dinnertime Monday through Thursday, and $25.95 Friday through Sunday, or for even less at lunchtime ($17.95 Monday through Friday, $20.95 on weekends), you can chow on as much churrasco, strip steak, and filet mignon as you want. It will tempt you, but don't waste stomach space on the bread: Your meal also includes unlimited trips to the salad bar, as well as a beverage (two glasses of beer or one bottle of wine per person), dessert, and coffee (you will need this, trust us). All in all, for anyone who likes steak, a trip to The Knife is a mind- and stomach-expanding experience. It's open late -- from noon till 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, till midnight on weekends.
Le Boudoir is sort of a stealth bakery. It looks like a café, is self-labeled a tea salon, and has a menu mainly devoted to elegant Parisian-style sandwiches and salads. But the sandwiches' astonishingly good bread serves notice that baked goods are truly taken seriously here. Proprietor Michel Chiche is a master patissier who grew up in France and interned in perfectionist French restaurant kitchens before studying at the famed LeNôtre school. But the real proof of his sweet supremacy is not in his resumé or roster of celebrity clients (ranging from Steven Spielberg to Bill Clinton) but behind Le Boudoir's bakery counter. The selection of pastries displayed daily is small but flawless, especially Chiche's specialty, macaroons -- seasonal fillings sandwiched between a pair of almond macaroons with delicately crunchy shells and a melt-in-your-mouth interior. For those craving something extra-special, custom-catered orders range from elaborate sculptural spun-sugar fantasies to a dozen cookies. And if you are searching for a wedding cake that doesn't look like it was decorated by a baker with all the taste and subtlety of Miss Piggy, Le Boudoir can make you a stylish showpiece cake that tastes even better than it looks.
Although this café/bakery originally opened as part of the Tasti D-Lite frozen yogurt chain, it became immediately clear its main draw was not faux ice cream but the rest of the menu: sparkling, crisp salads; genuinely light yet assertively flavorful spicy sesame linguine; and baked goods. The bagels (95 cents each, $1.75 with cream cheese) are not housemade -- not so surprising considering the small place's commitment to quality: Tasti's owners do not begin to pretend a decent bagel can be crafted without New York City water. Consequently, their bagels -- flavors include plain, sesame, and onion, no chocolate chip/sun-dried tomato sissy stuff -- are flown in from H&H in NYC. Pay no attention to boobs who claim H&H has gone downhill. Jerry Seinfeld refuses to eat any other brand of bagel. And if they are good enough for Seinfeld, they're good enough for us.

Women's Soccer Ranks 12th in First NCAA RPI Release
Sept. 28, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky women's soccer team (8-2-0, 1-1-0) has reached new heights this season checking in at 12th in the first official release of the NCAA RPI.
The ranking is the highest ever in program history.

Kentucky wraps up its longest road stretch of the season this weekend, traveling to Columbia, S.C., and Gainesville, Fla. At the conclusion of the current five-game road trip, Kentucky will have played No. 4 Florida, No. 5 Auburn, No. 22 Dayton, No. 38 Alabama and No. 46 South Carolina in its last five matches.
Additionally, the Southeastern Conference has nine teams in the top 50 in the NCAA RPI, and 10 including future SEC member Texas A&M.

Shinzo Abe promotes Japanese maglev trains for US railways
Related topics
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took US ambassador Caroline Kennedy on a test ride of Japan's super-fast magnetic train yesterday, showcasing the maglev technology Tokyo hopes to sell to its ally.
"I hope ambassador Kennedy will enjoy the full package of Japan - the blizzard of cherry blossoms, Mount Fuji and the state-of-the-art technology," a relaxed-looking Abe said ahead of the ride.
As the distinctive white and pink petals of the blossom swirled in the breeze, the pair boarded at the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line near Mount Fuji.
The smiling prime minister was able to show off the technology with ease, as the train reached speeds of 505km/h at certain points in the journey.
Maglev, short for magnetic levitation after the magnets that propel the vehicle forward in place of traditional wheels and axles, is a contender for US President Barack Obama's multibillion-dollar national high-speed rail project.
Japanese business newspaper Nikkei reported that the operator, Central Japan Railway, does not plan to charge licensing fees in the US for the maglev train, a strong incentive for officials to select the system for a proposed high-speed rail line between Washington and Baltimore.
The proposed 60-kilometre link will represent the first phase in the US government's plan to connect the capital and Boston. To cushion the estimated 1 trillion yen (HK$76 billion) cost of the franchise, Japan intends to finance half of it through the Japan Bank for International Co-operation, Nikkei said.
Japan is up against France, Germany and other bidders as it seeks to sell its bullet and magnetic train systems overseas.
After the ride, Abe said: "Since I was able to share this experience with ambassador Kennedy today, I hope she would share her story with White House as well."
Kennedy added she thought the technology was "something that will bring great benefits to Japan and hopefully to the United States".
In Japan, the company hopes to launch the maglev service - billed as faster, smoother and quieter than conventional trains - between Tokyo and Nagoya by 2027. By 2045 it is expected to link Tokyo with Osaka in just 67 minutes, compared with the current time of more than two hours.
The world's first commercial maglev railway opened in Shanghai in 2002.

Rutherglen Wine Show Seminar warns industry on alcohol
Subscribe to Daily Wine News e-mail
Browse the DWN Archive by date
By Jeni Port
If Australian winemakers are expecting the alcohol issue to simply go away, they are about to be disappointed, says Jeni Port who was a special guest at last week's annual Rutherglen Wine Show and its 'Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcohol' seminar.
The annual seminar has warned the industry to be prepared for even closer attention to alcohol in wines from the government, wine writers, wine judges and consumers.
However, graphic "grim reaper" style advertisements due to be launched by the Federal Government in November and calls for wine labels to contain warnings and tobacco style photos were not necessarily the answer according to Mike Macavoy of DrinkWise, a government advisory group funded by the government and alcohol industry.
"These measures don't relate to the average drinker," said Macavoy. "People say, 'that's not me'."
Instead, Macavoy has called for long-term social change.
"You need to take people on a journey," he said. "It took 10 years before seat belts were accepted. It took 10 years before the drink driving message got through." He added that he hoped the government would pursue a similar 10 year plan on alcohol education.
Rising alcohols and the release of high alcohol wines of 15 and 16 per cent alcohol could also continue under a scenario outlined by noted climate change researcher, Pro-fessor Snow Barlow, head of the School of Agriculture and Food Systems at the Univer-sity of Melbourne. "We know vintage over the past 20 years seems to be coming forward by half a day to one day a year," he explained.
"Unless you change varieties or hold phenology you are probably going to ripen grapes at higher temperatures than you do now."
A winemaker survey released at the seminar revealed that of the 84 Australian winemakers surveyed 47 winemakers had seen their alcohols rising in the past decade. The survey found two significant reasons for the rise: a wish to avoid thin, green herbaceous characters of the past and a greater understanding of the role of ripeness.
Importantly, the survey revealed that while rising alcohols had been rewarded by wine writers, wine judges and consumers in the past, the mood was changing. Increasingly, Australian wines were being criticised by influential American and British wine writers as 'caricatures' and 'fruit-flavoured syrups.'
A number of speakers detailed ways for winemakers to reduce alcohol levels in the vineyard and winery. These included delaying flowering through pruning and avoiding stress in the vineyard. Or, as David Wollan of Wine Network reported, more and more are simply looking to reverse osmosis with perstraction to adjust their alcohol levels. Wollan noted that Wine Network now has more than 100 Australian clients who use the technology.
"Hundreds of millions of litres of Australian wine is alcohol-reduced," he said. "It is very extensively used."

THE Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation -- the largest anywhere, with an endowment of $22 billion -- spends tens of millions of dollars each year aimed, in its own words, at ''helping to improve people's lives through health and learning.'' In addition to making a sweeping effort to vaccinate the world's children, it has backed charities like Cancer Lifeline, which provides support to people with cancer and their families, and the American Cancer Society.
But according to its most recent tax return, the Gates Foundation also owned bonds in Philip Morris, the tobacco company -- raising the issue of whether the foundation's behavior as an investor sometimes runs counter to its charitable mission.
''If you believe tobacco kills, and you are concerned about health, it would seem absurd to hold tobacco stocks in your portfolio,'' said Stephen Viederman, a longtime foundation executive who has waged a tireless battle to persuade more of these charities to rethink their investments in light of their social aims.
Yet at a time when many foundations are benefiting from a huge run-up in stocks -- and as socially responsible investing has proven to be a successful bull-market strategy -- few foundations have been quick to adopt Mr. Viederman's approach.
To be sure, a smattering of foundations are active as shareholders. But many more view their sole responsibility as maximizing returns so that they can give away more money.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Viederman and a handful of others, however, contend that foundations are also obligated to consider, as he puts it, ''the social and environmental consequences of their investments.''
The $90 million endowment that Mr. Viederman led until recently, the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, based in Manhattan, screens its portfolio for investments that might conflict with its goal of protecting the environment. It declines, for example, to invest in companies like Dow Chemical and Monsanto.
''You would think that foundations have a clear mission in social policy issues and would look at the portfolio as another tool they could use, but by and large they don't,'' said Scott Fenn, the executive director of the Investor Responsibility Research Center, a Washington group that advises large shareholders on corporate governance and social issues.
A spokesman for the Gates Foundation declined to comment about its thinking on socially responsible investing.
While most efforts to use investments to further social goals are associated with liberal causes, the concept is not tied to a specific ideology. A foundation that disapproved of abortion, for example, might refuse to own stocks of health care companies whose hospitals performed abortions.
But conservative foundations also tend to neglect their missions when investing their endowments, according to Leslie Lenkowsky, a professor at the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy and former president of the conservative Hudson Institute.
''The trustees of conservative foundations tend to be interested in maximizing the returns of their assets,'' he said -- and are not likely to favor shareholder activism as a tool for change.
AT most foundations, in fact, there has been a historical separation between who decides which causes to support and who decides how to invest the endowment. The second group, more comfortable with finance than advocacy, has focused exclusively on investment returns, resisting the idea of investing with other goals in mind.
Advocates of socially responsible investing argue that foundations are ignoring their influence as shareholders.
''If you have a large endowment, the power of that money to create change is probably more than the power of your grant-making,'' said Jill Ratner, president of the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment, based in Oakland, Calif. The foundation, with about $1 million in assets, has taken an activist stance as a shareholder in Maxxam Inc., the Houston natural resources company; critics say Maxxam has logged old-growth forests and has a poor relationship with labor.
Because their endowments typically dwarf the grants that these charities make, Ms. Ratner said foundations should think more about the corpus, or principal, of their portfolio than the investment income they give away. ''What you have at a lot of foundations are people trying to use their earnings to basically bet against their corpus,'' she said. ''It's weighted the wrong way.''
Earlier this year, the Rose Foundation joined with the United Steelworkers of America to push for the election of independent directors to Maxxam's board, asserting that if the company were better governed, its record on environmental and labor issues would improve. Charles Hurwitz, the company's chief executive, has voting control, and the proposal was defeated in May.
About $1 of every $8 under professional management -- some $2 trillion over all -- was involved in socially responsible investing last year, according to the Social Investment Forum, a Washington group that surveys the landscape every two years. That sum, the bulk of it invested under social screens, has roughly doubled from 1997.
The concept has grown in popularity among individual investors. Well-known investment managers like the Vanguard Group and TIAA-CREF recently began offering mutual funds with holdings screened for social considerations.
In the past, many people worried that issue-minded investing damaged investment performance. But there is a growing consensus that other influences -- like the sectors and companies in a portfolio -- may have greater impact on returns.
Moreover, some money managers who screen holdings for financial considerations, like those who run the Domini Social Equity fund, can now boast a performance history that closely matches the overall market. Over the last five years, Domini has returned 25.2 percent a year, on average, versus 24.6 percent for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. Like the S& P, the fund is weighted toward the technology stocks that have led the market the last few years.
Still, foundations, especially larger ones, have not been in the forefront of the social investing movement.
When it last surveyed its membership in 1997, the Council on Foundations found that slightly less than 15 percent screened for any social or ethical consideration. Small foundations, those with assets of less than $10 million, were almost twice as likely to do so as large ones, those with assets of $100 million or more, according to the survey.
While many foundations were active in dissuading companies from doing business in South Africa in the 1970's and 80's, subsequent causes do not appear to have captured their interest. Even the movement among large investors like state pension funds to divest their portfolios of tobacco stocks has not won many foundations' favor, although a few-high profile ones -- like the nearly $9 billion Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the $3 billion Charles Stewart Mott Foundation -- have rid their endowments of those stocks.
By contrast, some of the largest foundations, like the Gates fund and the $13 billion Ford Foundation, invested in these stocks, according to the latest tax returns. So did relatively big foundations whose primary aim is to improve the health of Americans, like the $525 million Commonwealth Fund in New York.
''We feel our energies are better spent on our grant-making,'' explained Michael C. Vachon, Commonwealth's director of communications. Commonwealth has supported programs intended to improve health care for minorities and to increase health insurance coverage and access to care for working Americans. The impact of divesting its portfolio of tobacco stocks would be ''minimal,'' Mr. Vachon said.
UNLIKE other large investors -- including colleges and state pension funds -- foundations have been all but immune to public pressure, despite having amassed nearly $400 billion in assets, according to 1998 figures, the most recent available. Organizations that receive their grants do not want to endanger future aid; staff members tend not to have the power to force the issue. And to date, many activists seem unaware of the divergence between foundations' grant-making and their investments.
The foundation world has been truly left alone,'' said Matthew Myers, president of the National Center for Tobacco-free Kids, in Washington.
Foundations have also chosen not to model themselves after pension funds as shareholder activists, only rarely proposing shareholder resolutions urging a company to improve its business practices.
In the mid-1990's, the Noyes Foundation and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility established the Foundation Partnership on Corporate Responsibility to involve more endowments in shareholder activism. Only a dozen or so foundations, however, were sponsors or co-sponsors of shareholder resolutions within the last year.
''We have not gotten behind the force of the portfolio,'' acknowledged William S. White, president of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in Flint, Mich. While Mott, which invests its endowment without the aid of outside managers, pays attention to proxy matters, it does not view its $3 billion in assets as a way to accomplish change at companies that prove themselves to be poor corporate citizens.
''We feel the market has a way of getting at some of these issues,'' Mr. White said.
Some foundations are leery of devoting much in the way of staff or time to shareholder issues, and activism rarely rises to the level of debate. ''Most foundations still put a Chinese wall between their investment arms and their grant-making arms,'' said Doug Cogan, the deputy director of the social issues service of the Investor Responsibility Research Center.
Many social activists argue that selling a holding should be a last resort, preferring to use their shareholdings within the system to effect change. Indeed, some foundations that have undertaken shareholder activism say they have had an impact.
In the mid-1990's, for example, the Noyes Foundation started working closely with one of its grantees, the SouthWest Organizing Project, a community group in Albuquerque, to put pressure on the Intel Corporation to weigh environmental and employment concerns about plans to expand its chip-making operations in New Mexico.
Noyes, which owned 100 shares of Intel stock, filed two shareholder proposals that it says led to discussions between Intel and community activists about the impact of the company's actions. Intel eventually changed its environmental, health and safety policy to commit to more dialogue with communities housing its facilities, and Noyes withdrew its second shareholder proposal.
Activists say the presence of a foundation in such discussions can make a difference by convincing executives that there is a broader group of institutions concerned about their behavior. ''The acoustics change with a company,'' said Timothy Smith, the director of the Interfaith Center.
BUT most foundations, beyond choosing not to sponsor shareholder resolutions, have remained largely silent on many of the proposals put forward by other investors, from measures pressing Home Depot to stop using old-growth wood to resolutions urging Sara Lee to avoid genetically modified food.
Even Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie, the three foundations that helped create the Investor Research Responsibility Center in 1972, say little publicly about their current roles as shareholders. People who follow shareholder campaigns say all three foundations appear to take their voting responsibilities seriously, but not one was willing to talk in detail about how it votes its proxies.
''The key question to be raised is how best to engage corporate leadership,'' said Alexander W. Wilde, a spokesman for the Ford Foundation. While Ford will write privately to companies from time to time, he said, in addition to voting on shareholder issues, it prefers to work with companies on charitable programs rather than engage them through its ownership of their shares.
Some big foundations, like the Commonwealth Fund, do not even vote their shares, leaving the task to their investment managers. Others, like the $13 billion David and Lucile Packard Foundation, invest much of their money in pooled index funds, which means that they cannot vote their shares.
''I think that is a tremendous lost opportunity,'' said Robert Massey, executive director of the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies, which works with investors to improve corporations' environmental records.
While many foundation officials say they believe that their fiduciary duty lies in trying to maximize returns, some advocates of social investing go so far as to argue that these endowments have a legal obligation to consider their mission when making investment decisions.
''It is not a question you can disregard,'' said William McKeown, a New York lawyer who specializes in nonprofit law. ''Fiduciaries have a responsibility to carry out the purpose of the organization.''
Correction: July 2, 2000, Sunday An article on June 11 about the investments made by foundations described the endowment of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation incorrectly. The vast majority of it is invested in the stock of Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies; less than 1 percent is in an index fund.Continue reading the main story

Iowa CITY, Iowa - Heading into last week's game at Iowa State, few Hawkeye fans feared Cyclone quarterback Steele Jantz. The first-year starter struggled for three quarters before pulling out a 20-19 win against FCS UNI seven days earlier.
Well, Jantz looked like Brett Favre against Iowa. The California native helped send Hawkeye fans home with a 44-41, triple-overtime loss as he ran and threw at will.
So, is Jantz the quarterback of Week 1 against Northern Iowa or is he a Heisman candidate like he showed versus Iowa? The truth probably falls in the middle.
That means the Hawkeyes' overall inexperienced defense must improve…quickly. This week's opponent, Pittsburgh, runs a wide-open offense and features a mobile signal caller in Tino Sunseri.
Iowa hasn't had the most productive history against active quarterbacks in the Coach Kirk Ferentz Era. And the college game has changed through the years to feature more dual-threat signal callers than ever before.
This is going to be a good test for the Hawkeyes to show that they can succeed against a fast offense with a nimble QB a week after failing that task.
TELEVISION: The game will be televised to a national audience by ESPN2. It can also be viewed online at ESPN3.com. The announcers are Beth Mowins and Mike Bellotti.
RECORDS, RANKINGS: The Hawkeyes hit Week 3 at 1-1 after last week's triple overtime loss at Iowa State. Pittsburgh comes into Iowa City at 2-0 after home wins against Buffalo and Maine.
Neither team is ranked. They didn't receive any votes in either major poll.
HISTORY: This is the fifth meeting between the two schools. Pittsburgh has won three of the first four contests in the series. The Panthers took the last matchup, 21-20, at home during the 2008 season.
The teams are scheduled to meet again in 2014 and 2015.
THE LINE: The Hawkeyes opened as a 3.5-point favorite at the Las vegas Hilton and it was bet down to 3 as of Tuesday afternoon. The number dropped in most books fairly quickly.
I think that action has more to do with the odd 3.5-4 point spread. Some gamblers jump on that hook as a rule.
I wouldn't expect to see the number dip below three. These are two teams on which it's hard to get a handle. They appear to be pretty even through two weeks, so that three points to Iowa for home field makes sense.
The total at Cover.com opened at 50. It remained there on Thursday.
I like the Iowa side in this one. It's Pittsburgh first road game with a new system.
I think it ends up under the 50, but I wouldn't touch that. As I've said before on here, if I don't feel the over, I'll pass in most instances.
Here are a some interesting trends:
-Hawkeyes are 4-0 Against the Spread in their last 4 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.
-Hawkeyes are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss.
-Hawkeyes are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games.
-Hawkeyes are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.
-Hawkeyes are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
-Hawkeyes are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.
-Panthers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss.
-Panthers are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 road games.
-Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. Big Ten.
-Panthers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 0.5-3.0.
-Panthers are 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog.
Pitt RB Ray Graham vs. Iowa Front 7 - A traditionally stingy Iowa rush defense has been anything but through the first two weeks. The Hawkeyes have allowed 167.0 yard per game on the ground, which ranks 11 in the Big Ten and 82 nationally.
Graham leads the nation in rushing with 161.0 per contest in two wins. He's carried 57 times and scored six touchdowns.
The Hawkeye defense has been compromised by a pair of nimble quarterbacks, which opens lanes for backs. That preparation was the same this week for Pittsburgh and Sunseri.
Through two games last year, Iowa ranked 11th nationally in rush defense at 71.5 per contest. It finished sixth by season's end.
Graham will get the ball. Can Iowa stop him?
Pitt LT Juantez Hollins vs. Iowa RE Lebron Daniel - The Hawkeye fifth-year senior has taken some heat this week after being controlled by Iowa State's Kelechi Osemele. Daniel faced one of the best left tackles in the country and as an Iowa fan, you have to hope he'd grow from it.
Daniel was a reason why ISU QB Steele Jantz ran the Hawkeyes ragged. He also struggled in Week 1 against Tennessee Tech.
Hollins, like Daniel, is a first-year starter. While he's another 300-pounder, he's only a sophomore and you hope technique and maturity tip the scales Daniel's way.
Iowa WR Marvin McNutt vs. Pitt CB Antwuan Reed - Iowa State slowed McNutt last week pretty much with a straight approach of a corner and shading from a safety, according to DB coach Bob Elliott. That gave Pitt a blueprint and the Hawkeye standout must adjust.
Reed is a smaller cover man, much like McNutt saw against the Cyclones. The Panthers senior has started for the last two seasons and could be stern competition for McNutt.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that teams focus on McNutt. He's a proven commodity and Iowa's top skill player.
But just like with the opponents giving extra attention to Adrian Clayborn last season, the player and the Hawkeye coaches need to find ways to get loose. They also can spread the ball to other players, which leads us to the next match-up.
Iowa TE Brad Herman vs. Pitt LB Shane Gordon - McNutt and Keenan Davis have caught a combined 17 passes through two games. They've been productive.
That could be why Herman only has two catches in that time. Iowa normally succeeds with waggle plays to the tight end, though, and it could be a matter of time before the senior breaks out.
Pittsburgh employs a 3-4 defense, which likely will create the scenario of a linebacker on Herman. While the Panthers boast athleticism on the second level in Gordon and others, the Hawkeye senior could find himself running free.
Iowa LT Riley Reiff vs. Pitt DE Brandon Lindsey - Reiff is widely considered one of the top tackles in the Big Ten, if not the country. Lindsey is coming off a season in which he led the Big East in tackles for loss and ranked second in sacks.
Pitt will move around Lindsey, who at 6-2, 250 is more of a speed guy. Reiff is much more accustomed to seeing players opposite him who are bigger and maybe a little less athletic than is the Panther senior.
One thing we've learned the last two weeks is that Hawkeye QB James Vandenberg is not the most nimble on his feet. Pitt surely has seen that on tape and will attempt to get at him.
Pittsburgh - Ed Tinker (probable, undisclosed), Dan Mason (out, knee).
Iowa - Jordan Bernstine (probable, illness), Tyler Nielsen (probable, ankle), Nolan MacMillan (out, hernia), Brad Rogers (out, heart), B.J. Lowery (out, wrist), Mika'il McCall (leg, out) , Shane Dibona (out for season, achilles), Carl Davis (probable, undisclosed), Dakota Getz (out for season knee).
Pittsburgh -
-The last Pitt player on offense to finish a season No. 1 in a national statistical category is receiver Larry Fitzgerald (2003, 128.6 receiving yards/game).
-Since the 2000 season, Pitt is 40-12 when it has a 100-yard rusher, including 2-0 this year.
-Pitt's projected starting lineup on offense this week features only three seniors and all three play on the offensive line
-Pitt's offensive line owns a combined 63 career starts among its members.
-Only eight NCAA players who had 10 sacks last season are back in 2011, including Lindsey, who has two this season.
Maine averaged just 1.5 yards per rush against Pitt (25 carries for 37 yards), while Buffalo averaged 2.9 per carry (44 for 127).
-The Panthers have forced at least one turnover in 23 of the past 28 games. The Panthers have only forced one turnover this season
Iowa -
-Iowa is one of 21 teams in the nation to have allowed just one quarterback sack through two games.
-Iowa is tied for 18th nationally in turnovers gained, with five (three fumbles, two interceptions in two games.
-Iowa's roster includes three players from Pennsylvania, including senior DL Tom Nardo, freshman DL John Raymon and freshman LB Marcus Collins.
-Pitt assistant head coach Calvin Magee was the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Michigan the last three seasons.
-Iowa holds an all-time record of 5-4 (.556) against current members of the Big East Conference, having played Cincinnati (1-0), Pitt (1-3) and Syracuse (3-1). Iowa has not played a Big East opponent since the 2008 loss at Pittsburgh.
-Iowa plays at Pittsburgh in 2014 and the Panthers return to Iowa City in 2015.
THE PREDICTION: Early season games are tough to call. Iowa comes in the most tested of the two teams with a road game against a rival.
Two of the big unknowns are how Iowa will respond to last week's physically and mentally exhausting loss and how the relatively-young Panthers will handle the road in their first season under a new coach.
As mentioned above, this game would be a whole lot easier to call if this were the 2008 Pittsburgh team the Hawkeyes faced in the Steel City. That was strength against strength with two pro-style offenses.
I think this game comes down to which defense can pick itself up after last week. Both squads will score.
I believe the Iowa D will show progress this week and coordinator Norm Parker can come up with way to make his guys more effective. This one will not be easy, however.
IOWA 27 , Pittsburgh 24

"Staff at helicopter company was really nice and professional. Somewhat difficult to get good views from the center of the helicopter. Pilot sometimes moved too quickly to get a good shot. Nice experience, but probably wouldn't do it again."
"I had the usual apprehensions about flying in a small helicopter. So I avoided it for decades. However, after finally doing it, I was so delighted with the experience that I cannot recommend it enough. The pilot was excellent (although he looked so young, I felt reassured just minutes after take-off). The landing was like landing on balloons... so soft and without any anxiety. I wish I had done this years earlier. We live on Maui, and it brought a new appreciation of the beauty of this lovely island we call home."

1 - 3 Final
Blue Jackets get WildFeb 8, 2012 - 3:22 AM
David Savard had a goal and an assist and Jeff Carter also scored for the Blue Jackets, who got 28 saves from Curtis Sanford en route to their second straight win.
"I thought we played a heck of a first period, probably one of our best," Blue Jackets interim head coach Todd Richards said. "They came out and were better in the second, but we were really happy with the way we finished the game."
Nate Prosser scored and Niklas Backstrom gave up all three goals on 37 shots for the Wild, who have lost three of their last four games.
Columbus grabbed the lead for good at 2-1 with a power play tally at 15:31 of the second period.
After Vermette won a key offensive zone draw to the left of Backstrom, the puck made its way to Rick Nash along the boards. He sent it to Vermette, who slid a quick backhand just inside the far post from the slot.
The Blue Jackets put the game away at 5:38 of the final period when Savard ripped a shot from the point that was kicked out by Backstrom, but Colton Gillies and Carter were parked in front and Carter poked it into the net.
The Blue Jackets opened the scoring at 8:59 of the first period when Savard ripped a slap shot from the point that went off bodies in front and deflected past Backstrom.
Minnesota evened the score with just 1:21 remaining in the first period after Prosser picked up the puck off the right wing boards and wired a slap shot from the right point that was deflected in front and made its way past Sanford.
"It was back-and-forth, we had a couple chances, but I don't think we deserved to win the game," Wild head coach Mike Yeo said.
Game Notes
Tuesday marked the third meeting of the season between the teams....Gillies played his first game against the team that made him the 16th overall pick in the 2007 draft...It was Savard's first NHL goal...Minnesota failed to score on two power play chances, while the Blue Jackets went 1-for-7 with the man advantage...Minnesota will host the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, while the Blue Jackets will play host to the Dallas Stars, also on Thursday.
