SALT LAKE CITY � Moab resident Louis Williams cringes every time he tells visitors the name of the canyon with the great hike to a stunning arch: Negro Bill Canyon.
Williams, a window cleaner who has lived in Moab for 14 years, is leading a renewed campaign to change the name of the Southern Utah canyon that he and others believe is inappropriate. He has posted an online petition that has garnered more than 600 signatures and plans to submit a formal renaming application to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names.
�People cringe when we have to tell the name of it. The looks on their face is: �What did you just say?�� Williams said. �People ask. �Why is it named that?� They don�t ask who he is.�
He wants it to bear the last name of the black cowboy who ran cattle there in the 1870s, William Granstaff. The canyon name has already been changed in the 1960s to �Negro Bill Canyon� from a name that featured a derogatory word.
He said he has dug up history that shows Granstaff�s name was actually spelled with a �d� after the �n.� That�s why he wants it renamed as Grandstaff Canyon.
�Most of the places and streets and trails that were named after settlers just used their last names,� Williams said. �That is what we should do for him.�
Even though efforts in the late 1990s and 2000s to change the canyon name were met by resistance from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Williams is optimistic the idea will gain more traction this time. His campaign is one of dozens across the country to rename canyons, reservoirs, lakes and other places still bearing names deemed derogatory.
There are 757 places with �negro� in the name from Alaska to Florida and Maine to California, according to an analysis of government records.
But the president of the NAACP�s Salt Lake City chapter, Jeanetta Williams, said her organization opposes the name change just as it did when others tried to make the switch.
�If the name changes, it�s going to lose its history,� she said. �Negro is an acceptable word.�
With one of the longest natural arches in the country at the end of the four-mile roundtrip hike, the canyon is a popular destination for hikers visiting Moab. So far, the petition has more than 600 signatures as of Friday � many from out of state. The site has been up since Nov. 11.
�My favorite hike in the Moab area, but I always feel sick to my stomach to repeat the name to anyone and explain the puzzled looks,� wrote Linn DeNesti of Kingston, Wash., in the online petition. �PLEASE honor William Grandstaff and rename this beautiful canyon!�
�Let�s do justice to Moab�s rich history by renaming the canyon in a way that does justice to Bill without alienating or offending residents and visitors alike!� wrote Faye Geiger of Logan, Utah.
Bruce Hucko of Moab put it simply in his comment on the online petition: �It�s about time!�
The NAACP and Louis Williams do agree on one thing: There should be a sign or marker near the trailhead featuring Granstaff�s story.
�We would rather leave it there as it is now, and to get information in the curriculum in the schools about the canyon itself to let people know more about the history,� said Jeanetta Williams.

I have spent a couple of evenings this week filling in the gaps in the HAYBITTLE family. My 3x great-grandparents Jane HAYBITTLE and Henry TROWER married in Henfield, Sussex on the 3rd November 1847. Together they had thirteen children including my 2x great-grandfather Ebenezer TROWER.
Jane HAYBITTLE was from the neighbouring parish of Ashurst, Sussex and was the daughter of John and Harriet HAYBITTLE, she baptised in Ashurst on the 16th December 1827.
Jane appears to have been one of nine children, although the youngest died as an infant. John HAYBITTLE and Harriet WOOD were married on the 8th November 1823 in nearby Steyning, Sussex although both were born in Ashurst.
John appears to be the youngest child of Thomas HAYBITTLE and Mary DALE, who were married in Washington, Sussex on the 13th May 1776. It looks like they had seven children in total, the first six being baptised in Ashington, Sussex and the last one, John, was baptised in Ashurst, Sussex.
It appears that some time between 1795 and 1800 the family moved from Ashington parish to Ashurst parish, which is not a great distance, about four or five miles. As well as the children of John and Harriet being baptised in Ashurst, there are a couple of other HAYBITTLE families, Thomas and Barbara and William and Ann, who were probably also the children of Thomas and Mary HAYBITTLE.
For this work I used the following sources: Census returns on Ancestry.co.uk, Ashurst parish register transcriptions from the Parish Register Transcription Society and the Sussex Marriage Index CD from the SFHG. The parish register entries will need checking at a later date for accuracy.
I have gone back a little bit further than I needed to for my Christmas Tree Project, but I feel I have a good understanding now of where my HAYBITTLE family came from and good base from which to carry out further research at a later date.

once again, great job sir randy...well informative, excellent presentation...
now. i have to have a break first in attending the class, i will resume after 2-hours break to continue the lesson for day 2 class lecture...
thanks once again to the digikey & design news, great!
GREAT sir randy, much appreciated!
i am now on slide 17 of the presentation...
i am now on slide 10 of the presentation...
just downloaded the slides of the presentation and now begin with slide 2...
good afternoon sir randy, i am now for your lecture...
Thank you Randy!
Very informative lecture
-40 to 120
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Missed the live lecture
Taking the class offline
Randy Thank you. I look forwrd to the rest of the sessions
catching up
Good overview and references.
I once had an application for a mil temp range air-flow sensor - part selection (availability) was the biggest issue there.
Would like to see more on Board Layout, Connection concerns etc. I may need to review your first class on this to see that.
great seminar
Thanks Randy for a great lecture I look forward to
I require around a 2% acuracy
I am mainly interested in room tempuratures for normal operation
I am mainly interested in infrared distance sensing
Hi looking forward to this week of training
Sorry 0.5% OR not 0.05%
40 t0 125 F
What no frequency domain
capacitive, resistive,..... etc
Sorry I missed this one live was traveling.
Good Morning from San Jose, CA.
thank you Randy,
Thanks Randy.
I use 0 to 50 degs C
I am also interested in piezo- type sensors.
Thank you Randy, very good lecture
Thank Randy for informative lecture.
That's going to do it for today. I hope to see you back tomorrow.
why range is so tight? 0-70C, only.
As noted, the operating temperature range may be quite different that the temperature range used for specifying the performance capabilities of the sensor.
Hello, I was following the lecture on the piezoresistive sensors compensation. Can you please tell me if there are designs matching a use in the high frequency range. I am looking for a solution for a piezoresistive sensor working in the frequency range up to 1MHz. Thank you in advance for any advice. Best regards, Libor
This goes well beyond the frequency range that I have been involved with. One of the problems with piezoresistive MEMS sensors is that a gel is used to protect the diaphragm and resistive elements. This can cause considerably damping at high frequencies.
Ok, thanks a lot.
Thank you, very informative part 1 of the series.
Chuck: is it possible to download th audio for these sessions?
Do you have some reference website can provide to us? Thanks a lot.
The notes section of the PPT slides has links on almost every page.
thank you, but I was unable to listen to the lecture. It seems that IT may have blocked the site. I can't listen to the archives either. I'll try tonigth at home
Slide 9 seems to be shorting signal output.
Also - the "zero trim" resistors are in a position I normally expect to be for gain trims. For zero trim I would expect the resistors to be connected to the signal leads.
I hoped I addressed this in the tuorial since it was posted beforehand.
Very interesting talk
Do you get into humidity sensors in your classes?
Thanks Randy and Chuck
Very informative. Thanks
Randy, Thanks for a great lecture.
Thank you, very interesting!!
Thank you.
dgillyard - yes interested in humidity sensors.
Thank you Chuck and Randy
Great start. Thanks!
Thank you
1% - 10% accuracy
Humidity sensors , is there interest here?
Thank you Randy.
very good lecture, thx alot Randy
Great presentation
thanks Randy
1% is plenty
1% resistors have 3% at end of life, 2% at start
Needed accuracy varies by project, typically ~2%.
for temperature 0.2C across measurement range of 0-40C
we spec our accuracy at 1% but inclusive of all errors (temp, drift etc)
Accuracy depends on project but better than 2% is "typical".
Accuracy is less important than correlating relative measurements - as long as they output is repeatable.
Industrial (-40C to 85C) temperature range is typically more than enough for most projects.
-10 F to 1250 F
Room temperature, +10C to 55C
-40 to 125 typicallly
only by this? this explains
-65C to + 45 c would work for Canadian outdoors -- here we have a worst case -45 45C range
consumer electronics range
0-60C environment.
We operate in the industrila range: -40C to +85C
@mcferrinsteve-An archive will be available after the conclusion of today's live session, you may have better luck with the archived
RTD, PH and optical sensor now.
-40 to +85degC
Commercial & Industrial
thermal, optical sensors
Is your lecture transcribed. I can't hear it.
hmm, Altimeters :)
I am just doing a sensor project. your lecture is very good.

It is common to add external zero trim adjustment on load cells. The span ajust is one or two resistors on the excitation. When two are used they are installed with one on the plus & minus excitation leads to keep the bridge symetrical and reduce cell interaction when used in multi-cell applications..
In reality there are two camps on bridge span trimming - they sceond school of thought is to put a variable resistor between signal leads and sprinkle isolation resistors around the bridge if used in multi-cell applications.

Hello from Huntsville, Al
@mark.brown - Perhaps Slide 9 needs a "band-gap device" between the 2 arms.
Looks like some kind of wheatstone 4-arm device, in which case, you can't get at those internal resistances, so you are really only left with tweaking the ratio of the zero trim resistors for centering the (zero) offset between the 2 arms. I guess you also pad the internal resistances with external parallel resistances for the same effect, but I bet that won't do a lot for your linearity/range/ temp compensation.

"Somehow all you ever need's never quite enough"
By Anthony Castrovince/MLB.com
On Twitter: @Castrovince
The Trade Deadline cometh, and what do the Indians — presumed buyers — need to take the AL Central this season?
They need at least one starting pitcher (not counting Roberto Hernandez), first and foremost.
They need at least one impact right-handed bat.
They need another proven reliever to ease the stress on the back end.
They need better depth and definitely better balance.
These needs are so many, the organizational trade options so few and the available talent in the trade market so hallow that, well, I don't need to tell you this is complicated.
Because if you're Chris Antonetti, and your job is to make realistic evaluations of your talent at both the Major League and Minor League levels, you've got to be asking yourself what, exactly, is to be gained from a Deadline deal at this juncture?
Even in the midst of understanding the "window of contention" template upon which the Tribe operates, why sell off any more of your already gaunt future stock to prop up a club that needs more than just a few finishing touches? A club that, by virtue of its left-leaning lineup and right-tossing starting staff, was not built to go on sustained stretches of success? A club whose schizophrenic personality (hit but don't pitch, pitch but don't hit) appears incurable?
I wrote recently about how exceedingly average this Tribe team (then .500 and now a game under as I type this) is, and how the demands of the division (or lack thereof) made that tolerable for the time being.
But those demands are increasing every day, as the Tigers (winners of 13 of 17 and expected aggressors in Deadline dealing) start to make the most of the fifth-highest payroll in the game, with the White Sox a game and a half back and benefiting from the boost of Kevin Youkilis (they also added Brett Myers over the weekend, for whatever that's worth).
This is still one of the weakest divisions in the game, but it's going to take more than a .500 effort to win it.
And the second Wild Card? Sure, that presumably props up the postseason odds for anybody meandering in the realm of .500. But had that second Wild Card existed from the beginning of the Wild Card era, it would have taken 89 wins, on average, to claim it in the full, 162-game seasons (1995 was, of course, shortened by the strike). Maybe it won't take that many this year, but that's the neighborhood you've got to shoot for.
It's difficult to see this Indians team going on the kind of second-half run it would take to finish eight games over .500, and it's difficult to see any of the realistic options (emphasis there on "realistic") in the trade department drastically altering that bottom line.
Because remember, this Tribe team has not won more than four in a row at any point this year. This team has allowed 47 more run than it has scored. In fact, only three teams in all of MLB — the Rockies, Twins and Astros — have allowed more runs.
This team is still trying to figure out what it has in Ubaldo Jimenez (5.18 ERA in his last 30 starts), still trying to figure out if Carlos Santana will catch fire this year (1.727 OPS the last five games, so that's certainly a start), still losing to lefties, still watching Derek Lowe wilt, still waiting (with an absence of optimism) for Grady Sizemore to come back, still hoping to stave off another second-half slide from Asdrubal Cabrera.
When asked about the Deadline, Antonetti has generally said something along the lines of, "We need the guys here to play to their potential." In the starting pitching department, that hasn't happened. In the run-production department, that hasn't happened. The Indians have an offense that ranks around league average and a starting staff that sits alongside the sellers. And the absence of sustained winning streaks, to date, has to lead us to wonder if the Tribe is capable of the kind of run it would take to become a postseason team, even in an expanded postseason format.
The Trade Deadline, from the buyer's perspective, is an opportunity to augment and enhance, not completely reshape and repair. If Antonetti and Co. see opportunities within the Deadline realm to add longer-term options who are going to help the 2013 effort, then have at it. Again, though, the Indians don't have many valuable chips in the upper levels of their farm system to pull off significant swaps, like the Ubaldo deal last year.
This leads to a potential shift in strategy that's already being pointed out in the national media — the possibility of the Indians becoming sellers at the Deadline.
In Chris Perez, they have a valuable commodity in a mercurial role who is due another big raise in arbitration. And in Vinnie Pestano, they have a capable replacement. So I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a trade — provided, of course, that it brings in a Major League return that can help in 2013 and not a prospect haul.
Shin-Soo Choo, as the above FOX Sports link notes, would be the other obvious trade candidate in a sell situation, given that 2013 is the last year in which the Indians have contractual control of him and the possibility of an extension with the Indians was all but removed long ago. But unlike the Perez/Pestano situation, the Indians would be extremely hard-pressed to replace the production provided by Choo, especially given their organizational outfield abyss. I'd imagine it would take a huge haul to prompt them to move him.
Anything viewed within the prism of selling, at this juncture, would be a PR nightmare, so there's that. Still, the dearth of sellers this season leads me to believe you can make a move with Perez, in particular, that helps the current club while also increasing the earnestness of the 2013 effort.
But as far as buying is concerned? Well, given the propensity toward overpays in a seller's market, and given the unmistakable mediocrity we've witnessed from these Indians in a season now well into its second half, any attempt to augment this 2012 club with a short-term rental would seem to be a deal made for the sake of dealing.
The Indians have many needs, but they definitely don't need that.
4 Comments
It seems to me we need an upgrade in the front office and scouting departments. There is no reason our farm system should be so bare.
With the farm so barren it isn't likely we will see many graduates make an impact on the big league club over the next two or three years. So, fans have a "now or never" mentality like I've not seen in years.
Also, beginning with spring training and many times this season, Indians leadership raised expectations by repeatedly telling Tribe fans "we were bitterly diasappointed in last years results and 2012 is going to be a year of contention!" . This despite the obvious problems with the roster before spring training even started (inadequate starting pitching and no right handed power). So those same fans think they'll see some action at the deadline, and know it could be several years before we sniff a post-season spot again.
Long-time fans I know are becoming disinterested in the team; they are exhausted by the mediocrity and need to see some success. It's a conundrum, but I would advise the front office to think very carefully before selling.

If you�ve ever been to the Sideshow Emporium in Dolores, you�ve been privy to one of the funkier and quirky secondhand stores this side of Broadway in Denver.
Its vintage clothing, used offerings and random knickknacks, from tacky hipster pins to local artwork, may be similar to stores of its kind around the country. But its double duty as occasional art gallery and music venue put it a notch above any big city kitsch store.
On Saturday, the Sideshow will host �Rural-Gothic: Music, Art and Video,� a collaboration of offerings from artist Rosie Carter, filmmaker Sam Lyons and photographer Dustyn Lyon. Music will be provided by The Holy Smokers, the duo of Chuck and Rosie Carter who play a Hawaiian take on the spaghetti western sound. Also on the bill will be singer songwriter Ole Bye, and Kustom Fronts, which is the solo work of Hardison Collins, one half of the Mancos-based reverb-drenched folk duo Baby Toro. This whole event is too good of a thing to keep La Plata County lovers of all things odd from making the hourlong drive to Dolores.
The man behind the event is Collins, a business owner, musician and show promoter of small concerts throughout Montezuma County. He has paired up on this event with Sideshow Emporium owner Heather Narwid.
�It�s us embracing the darker aspects of small town America, through film, music and art,� Collins said. �We�re exposing the underbelly and enjoying it for what it is.�
That underbelly, although not necessarily a seedy one, is an art exploration of rural America, an important subject and one that may get forgotten about in larger art communities throughout the world. But that doesn�t make them any less important, and at times can make for more compelling subject matter than anything found in art galleries in New York or Paris.
�It�s the juxtaposition of opposing things. To me, a gothic vibe would be thwarted endeavors, like trying and can�t do it,� Narwid said. �Opposing and intense emotions at the same time, creating tension and anger and darkness. We live these things every day, like the Hollywood burning down.� The Hollywood Bar, a legendary Dolores watering hole, burned in August.
That tragedy will be the subject of Lyons� short film. After being a staple in the community for nearly a century, its demise was on the lips of everyone who ever tipped one back in its confines. The video will be not so much a why or how of the fire, but more of a video centering on the tragic imagery.
An event like this also is a chance for Collins to showcase his music in a nontraditional venue.
�I�ve wanted to set up a show to play new material I have,� Collins said. �I never want to play at a bar. I want to have a comfortable environment where people are interested in stuff other than what was on television. In many respects, I made it for me, but then there�s also these other friends and associates to pull in. So it�s turned out to be kind of a big deal.�

First Time Right: our designs always turn out better when bouncing ideas off of each other and not just using our first design... come up with improvements in design over a week or two.
Looking for good principles to apply to my own code in our projects
From Utah, Embedded Software Engineer
Thank you Gary and Alex
Great discussion about practises and principles.
1st time right for one person could be a second or third time right for other guy or vice versa
1st time right is very broad. It does mislead in the way that all people are not perfect from the beginning (teams are always updated with new members and their level of rightness is not equal).
Principle: Do what you say, say what you do. verify! next step!
Looking for more practical approaches to deal with issues at HW/SW/FW
Worked on the product that had some EOL component changes right after product release
Not a manager
Hello from Oregon, looking forward to learn more
Tough one, most of the designs I have worked on have worked the first time but all were fully functional before release to manufacturing. Most were related to communications issues between software and hardware.
embeddded control systems
Remember an engineer sitting in a shipping crate making last minute modifcations on a protype system before they put the top on the crate.
Worked simlar issues when working with drive interfaces for optical and magnetic drives.
Hardware engineer, Manager - Project Manager
I have been able to get designs right "first time" -- never changed after release to production -- no bugs found -- more than a decade of use. It can be done -- those projects had thousands of circuits.
Great Class. Information was very well presented
See you tommorrowwwww
Thanks For the lecture
I just finished the audio
and notice the chat is still active
@LevitonDave - Most of the time the hw team is tasked with designing the interface because it is very hw-centric. But this is where it is important that sw/fw also be involved to make sure it works for them. We'll discuss this more tomorrow.
@LevitonDave - If the problem is clearly on the hw or the sw side, then assign it to that team. If it is unclear, then both should work on it. It may be assigned to one side or the other, depending on who has the best chance to solve it, but the other side would be obligated to assist.
@LevitonDave - My time in the HP LaserJet lab was in Boise, ID. I'm still in Boise. Earlier I was in Fort Collins, CO.
@luizcosta - Most of my work was with LunxOS and its driver have some differences from Linux and XINU. So I am not aware of good tutorials for you.
@RMRSS - Sorry, I don't have direct experience with JTAG. In most of my experience, JTAG was not available for us.
@williambreit - Determining which is more profitable between first time right and finish it now depends on where you are measuring your profits. If management is looking at maximizing this quarter's profits, then finish it now is the mantra. But when you look long term, first time right is much more profitable. If you want more specifics, send me an email.
Thanks for the lecture!
@LevitonDave - Getting management to buy into these concepts takes time. Some of the stuff I did anyway without management approval or knowing about it but it eventually became part of the process when they saw the benefits. If you want to talk specifics, send me an email.
Thanks a bunch, Gary and all of you.
@LevitonDave - I never was good at all those product-line numberings. That was stuff that marketing and upper managers dealt with. What was PL-13?
@GeoSei - Same book. See my previous post.
@pabobko - You can find all 300 best practices in my book, "Hardware/Firmware Interface Design". See www.garystringham.com/book for more info and links to Amazon and elsewhere.
@luizcosta - At HP we had to use an old ASIC as a workaround to a new ASIC the third-party supplier could not get working. I have seen FPGAs used for workarounds. So it does happen, but only if it can't be fixed in SW.
@BobDJr - There is probably not much new in here than what I gave in Boston ESC because the principles are still the same. So a lot of the examples and illustrations will be similar. So this would be a good refresher course for you if you feel you need it.
Looking forward to tomorrow - Thanks Gary and Alex
Thanks Gary for clarification
@JoeWojcicki - Could you clarify your question? What do you mean by "signal/frequenct eace" in "Can you give a simplified 'tool or merhod' to solve 'signal / frequenct eace' between SW and HW?
designing - oops :(
The same woudl apply to desing and interface requirements
@GStringham - Is there value in team ownership of all issues until they can be isolated to one area? In other words - until we can find the problem the entier team owns it.
Thank you Gary and Alex
@raghu - My reference to bank loan employees is to say that my principles also apply to areas outside of embedded systems development, that it can even apply to employees working on loan applications at a bank.
@Henador - Benivelent dictatorship is the most efficient approach to organization for fast action (that's why the military uses it). But it relies on skill and wisdom at the top to be successful.
One of the books that I'm currently readiing is titled "Elements of User Interface Design" by Theo Mandel. Have you heard of it before?
@garysxt - Was your "both HW and SW is guilty until proven innocent" by design or the way everybody angrily thought? It is a good way to go in that both side have the burden of proof, rather than, as someone else said, wait to see if they fix it first.
Gary - HP Vancouver? if so are you still enjoying the rainy weather today?
Thank you, Gary, for bringing up best practices, standards and principles. I know companies that have rocketed to the forefront by setting up top down management and design.
Gary: Please, point me to a "driver programming tutorial" that add a /dev/xxxdriver to Linux or XINU. The simpler the hardware the better.
Better late than never
Finally got connected
@cnorton - And I see others with the same sentiment, that engineering is more fun.
Gary, your presentations have been very pragmatic and clearly presented. Great stuff!
Leviton, I know of companies that are so hung up in doing it their own way that it took a massive failure out in the field for the management team to get punished so severely that upper management had to face the customer and do what he said. It resulted in a top down restructuring of the company along with Six Sigma and Kaizen training for the company to get back into the good graces of the customer. It cost the company about 9 months of profits.
Excellent mix of hw and fw/sw attendees. Glad to see that.
Thanks so much to you both, I can't wait for the next round of classes.
At HP Spokane we had a saying " Standard is better than better" while this may limit the fun of I can do it better, it did keep issues to the primary area of expertise.
Any thoughts on JTAG abd how to better use it and its use w.r.t. code and emulators.
Thanks Gary for the informative lecture. It was very interesting.
Is your approach (FTR) more profitable than meet the schedule ( Finish it now)?
@JCheetham - I agree; engineering is more fun. :-)
@JSP - I have not developed my own "version" per say of collaboration and standards. There are enough out there already. My principles will apply no matter what standards are used. And best practices must be analyzed to ensure correct application.
LUIZCOSTA, ASICs are part of the design and usually implement functions that are very time sensitive or involve too much functionality for existing ICs such as micros. Sometimes ASICs are used to protect IP as they are harder to reverse engineer. An example of a function that typically goes into ASIC is a real time DSP function such as a multiplier/accumulator that implements a Finite Impulse Response filter. ASICs can produce a result every clock cycle, whereas micros take many execution cycles to produce the final outcome.
Any recomendations on how to get management to buy into adopting principles like this in existing schedule driven design processes?
Thank you Gary
Thanks Gary and Alex. very interesting.
Thank you Gary!
Thanks Gary
Thanks Gary (from an old PL-13 employee :)
See ya tomorrow Alex.
Thanks all.
Are there any books which you recommend for help in bridging the gap between hardware and software interface design issues?
thanks Gary
Thanks Gary.
thank you
Thanks Gary, Alex & Digi-Key!
See you tomorrow.
Can we see the list of 300 best practices that Gary came up with?
Thank you for today's lecture Gary, Alex and Digikey
Thanks Gary! great presentation.
Managers may want to ship before done, marketers want to ship as soon as they see the prototype light up!
@luizcosta - ASICs are an expensive proposition for a solution.
I am a registered patent agent, and the First Time Right principles also applies to patent practice, wherein First Time Right means allowance on First Action from the USPTO.
Do people in a company such as Apple or HP add ASICs as work around for some portion of an expensive chip that doesn't work?
@Alex – Typically, managers are very schedule-centric. A manager often will ship before the product is completely baked.
reloading the page did not help, had to open new explorer.
F5 worked, but I still have to bail. And the buffering is glitching repeatedly. We need to apply some "principles" here, apparently. Tomorrow, guys! Thanks for the lead-in, Gary!
I agree. I'm designing a digital filter whose interface to the computer is exceedingly difficult, because it's designed to a computer back in the 1980s. Today's computers are much faster, so SW has to design loops to slow down its interface, not knowing that the filter can run much faster. It has a 10 ns cycle time, whereas the SW guys are slowing it down to 1 ms! I've talked to them about it, and management said "Nope, keep it as is."
pause then replay
refreshing the explorer worked
Refresh page
re-logged. audio came back
got it back
Pause then play. sound will start
no audio here
no audio
@Alex and everyone else - F5 REFRESH. Audio will come back.
To all: hitting F5 sometimes brings back the audio...
Today all the time I had audio problem.
Refresh of this page brought audio back for me.
Hardware or Software problem?
hear you now.
the DesignNews Radio bar shows BUFFERING
reboot, F%
no audio here.
Slide 11, point 6 ?
No Audio
@Alex - no.
audio is back
Audio is back - servers buffered for a little while.
I see "buffering" and 29:04 on my widget
player says "buffering"...
Audio came back after refreshing the page
Audio gone.
audio is good for me.
Still see posts
back here
lost audio. reloaded page. still "buffering"
refresh the page.
I can hear you
No audio
must be an escaping defect
just get it done.
The funny thing is that awsome tech developpers such as Steve Jobs, they want three things: First Time Right, Doit Now, Do it Within Budget.
yup. audion is gone.
also no audio
No Audio!
can u hear us now
"interface problem"
Same here...
audio is gone...
we lost you Alex!!!
No sound.
Audio lost here. Are we still connect Alex?
lost audio also
Alex, lost you at "pushback" you cut out
lost audio?
Often sought very seldom achieved. This is why reuse of proven code and hardware is often used. WHile good at one level for a perfect first build in may be bad for better designs overall.
I hate working on the prototype they've pressed into production !
C'mon it's just a few bucks, do it properly for goodness sake.
a hardware house has no understanding of software design and complexity and does make a lot of assumptions (collaboration is a good thing)
Too often schedules are pulled in and management just decrees it will be right the first time
Just Get it Done; Has always been the mantra.
FTR: not realistic in must cases I've encountered. Regardless of how much effort was put forth up front there is always an aspect that is missed.
getting it right the very first time.. how often dose it really happen?
Be user friendly.
I think it's much better to plan for a disposable protype in the project schedule. It will produce a better product, with lower blood pressure on everyone's part.
Prefer to target First Time Usable.
First Time Right on Time
it's typical that you don't have time to do it right the first time, but you have time to fix it later on, although it costs a whole lot more
ha. lip service perhaps, but it is not ignored
First time right - scheduled as reality but implemented in Lip service only.
Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents P*** Poor Performance. :)
Build in "hooks" to make use of idle resources.
If you have the ability to change the configuration, unused "configuration spaces" let you use all of the primary-configuration's resources in often-unanticipated ways.
Become familiar with concepts like "configuration space", "input/output space", etc, similar in context to "time domain" versus "frequency domain".
Need to allocate some time for sitting there, with your feet up, thinking -- can't "invent" on demand, so set things up so you HAVE some quality "AhHAH!" opportunities.
Never heard of First Time Right as a mantra
First Time Right: insist in investing tones of time planning and producing detailed documentation. It will closer to that goal.
lip service, but that's life.
First time right: lip service.
@Alex - hell yes (reality)
lipservice. Totally.
I had to laugh when one day I received a "we have the time and staff to do things right the first time" then the next day found out that the same group did a poor cooling design that caused our whole system to shutdown!
We've tried to design leading-edge complex ASIC first-time-right, or at least first-time-shippable. I guess if you don't swing for the fence, you'll never hit a home run. But we've rarely succeeded.
as "right" as possible should always be the target! but reality says there will be mistakes, unknowns and there will be design changes...
yep: "Do it right the first time" policy...
FTR = Pay attention to detail
Another principle: Foreseeable misuses of the product.
@raghu - seems like... (we are talking about 6 sigma principles without naming them so...)
Yes, very important to understand what needs to be done.. and then comes how to do
@Alex – Concerning your interest in interfacing practices outside the circuit board, I found that performing the job of company/project liaison with a contracted software/firmware house to be a good example. If I didn't put forth the effort and stay on top of everything going on, things got "hosed up" pretty quickly.
are we talking about 6 sigma?
Principal: Determine fully WHAT the system is to do before starting to design HOW it's to be done.
Know your customer and don't just include something because you can. They may not care about those features.
Big fan of peer review.
DFM, Design for Manufacturability
Test early and often.
Principal: Assume you did something wrong in the design and work hard to test and prove to yourself that you didn't!
The first fault is necessarily the ONLY fault.
bank loan employees?
Design for testability
Keep it simple.
JP Morgan is still working on #5! (Anticipate the Impacts)
Interest in Interface Design: I want simply to know how to write a C driver code bvased on a simple interface such as a RS232, integrated to XINU or Linux.
I am working on debugging the embeded system.Some times we cann't test the software unless hardware is fixed.
Individual contributor, not managing but often project lead
The best practices might have worked, but there wasn't time to digest it before we had to ship the embedded system.
I don't have any specific items I want to learn this series. Just hope to come away with one or two new ideas.
Yes, happens all the time
Primarily s/w developer but more h/w related as mobiel etc. get more in the mix. Looking for general method improvments.
of course
Forcing best practices: no, not really.
I am trying to learn to develop embedded hardware/software interfaces for simple medical applications.
I design MCU based Motor controller boards for water pump
sw guy working on hw/sw project.
My interest in this presentation is to learn more about the line between hardware and software for use in FPGA SoC designs. How to make the hardware easier or more efficient to program and how to define which parts to place in hardware and which parts to put in software.
I'm an integrator dealing mostly with PLCs and operator interfaces. I am looking for a broader background.
better interface design for medical device design
Job - Hardware Engineer including PCB layout for 25 years.
Not to learn anything specific, just to see if there is anything i can learn.
2 attendees - Engineering Manager and HW/SW Engineer. We are ostly interested in User Interface design considerations balancing with other important tasks ? Do we use DMA, things like that ? Using SPI interface.
I'm Embedded systems designer. Do both HW and SW. Looking for better ways to interface.
I took a class like this that Gary taught at ESC Boston a couple of years ago, and want to see if he has any new information.
Re: Interface design?? You can't design a tool without having some idea HOW you can make it DO something.
@bill.whitehead: While in a seperate browser window on www.blogtalkradio.com I clicked on the "...in progress" and could hear the person there before proceeding with the other steps I mentioned below.
@Alex: Job, as a Mech Eng, to bring hardware and software together in system design. Also digging into both hardware and software in my hobbies. Very interested in the synergy between these two areas.
@MazianLab.. Thanks.. All I am saying is people must have a practice to make a list of things that worked.. that way they can check em later..
application and driver software for data acquisition system
Looking to learn from Gary's experience.
I'm in Hardware Development an ddoing som SW development right now
raghu! There are lots of debugging techniques in Archive that ware discussed before.
@krhohio: I tried the same, but it is just stuck on "buffering...". It doesn't look like a firewall issue, but I may be wrong.
@Alex – This week I'd like to see/hear about specifics. HW interface solutions, test/development equipment used and not used. Get down to components specifics, component specs and associated problems.
system debugging
If you can't hear the audio, you might want to try Firefox.
Keep a list of debugging techniques that worked in a particular situation.
@bill.whitehead: I was not getting audio either - first checked that I could open www.blogtalkradio.com and then www.llnwd.net (LimeLight Networks) - both worked. The did a <F5> (refresh) and it started working...
Slide 6
Faster debugging
slide #?
Slide 5
slide 5
No Aiduio!
Interested in Gary's take on how to convince collaboration and standards prescription/enforcement. Slide 5.
some debug ideas
Can you give a simplified "tool or merhod" to solve "signal / frequenct eace" between SW and HW?
I'd like to learn best practices for h/w-s/w interface design, with a view towards extensibility, clear documentation, and implementability.
Sorry, what slide please?
Had to design an additonal small circuit board that was retro-fitted into all units that were produced.
@Alex - what I'm looking to learn this week - maybe something new (that I don't know yet) or some new aspects of known things...
No Audio!!!
looking for general approach ideas - design, debug, usability, etc...
I'm interested in hearing about debugging tools/techniques used in interface Design
Yes the experience was big endian little endian.
best practices for solving interface design issues.
Several times we've discovered an issue late in the development cycle -- not fun!
Interfacing to sensors and EM , remote controllers
Yeah, some times.
embedded software engineer
in that case, the HW eng tells the SW eng, "yes it's HW, but it's too late to fix, you need to write a SW work-around. By tomorrow.
Often able to build in "hooks" for test access?? I was lucky enough to have lots of indicator LEDs and configuration toggle-switches. Being able to build diagnostics into the device has been VERY productive.
Interest this week: setting up the hardware/firmware relationship early on, properly, to be efficient.
Usualy do testing until the procuct ships.
Yes - and SW usually has to fix hardware issues late in the project.
Focus is to determine how to smoth out the touble-shooting process.
I am a Systems Engineering Manager who deals with interfaces weekly.
sorry for no audio here...What is bank loan employees again?
I'd like to learn more about hardware/software tradeoffs
Gary's insights
Dealing w h/w issues in a nearly-ready-to-ship system? Often! We design in as much debuggability as possible...
Yes, I've had to deal with HW issues on buttoned up systems (manufacturing line, customer returns)
Yup, frantic bandaids at final testing with customer waiting !
Once or twice
Yes among major subsystems
Oh yeah - even deal with those issues AFTER production is underway!
yes. clocking issue
Wow... some amswers re. h/w vs. s/w look like CVs... ;)
Some times Hardware bug creates Software problem as well.
Hi All.
Systems engineer, inventor, test engineer
not following common conventions is a big problem.. others cannot understand our program and they cannot debug it..vice versa
Hardware, software (mainframe, mini, desktop, embedded - instrumentation, industrial controls, textile machinery, wood product machinery, medical device, product testing), machining, business analysis, 3D modelling, 3D printing (low end), development in virtual worlds.
Looking forward to this serries.
embedded, test engineer.
Been in many SW vs. HW finger pointing sessions. In groups I manage both HW and SW is guilty until proven innocent.
HW & SW. Have managed projects before but not currently. Engineering is more fun.
Mostly hardware, with firmware, and some software.
Not too many heated discussions, but a bit of "let's wait to see if they can fix it in Xxxxware first."
EE and software
telecomm Eng
Those "heated discussions" were motivation for being able to software-ish exercising of hardware.
High Alex Hi Gary!
Hardware, software, test
not very often heated, but many debates
always point fingers at each other, always blame each other, but then work together to troubleshoot, nothing hostile
Manager? I haven't had my lobotomy yet.
Predominantly hardware, but more than enough software to make the hardware walk and talk, and debug if it DOESN'T do either... NOT a manager (even though that's typically the end-of-life-cycle for engineers).
hello everyone
Primarily SW but both when needed.
... also a manager
Hardware, software and firmware
ME/Physics, no firm/SW. No apps presently. Manage HW design.
Firmware (w/influence on h/w design)
Engineers cannot be managed. They need to be herded like cats.
Was a manager. Engineering is more fun.
Manage self
Hardware eng
Software and Hardware.
mostly software, but do some hardware.
Avoid being a manager !
not a manager
individual contributer
mgr sw
I program for firmware and PC. I also do the testing for our new hardware.
hw & sw
Do both
Both - primarily firmware
Primarily hardware engineer, but also firmware and software.
HW engineer
Software, firmware and a little hw
Hardware and software
Both Hardware and Software
HW/SW development engineer
Both - h/w and s/w
@Gary - HW/SW/FW
hardware & software
Hardware engineer.
Alex! Is this last week of the program?
Embedded software eng
software engineer
Good afternoon Gary.
Hello everyone!
Hi Gary. Welcome to our forum.
Hello All, looking forward to today's lecture.
Good to hear you again Alex.
i am just hearing locktalk radio!!?
hello all
good afternoon
Good afternoon Alex.
@Gary - is this prescription of collaboration and correct standards your own or distilled from others in the field ?
Should we be able to hear anything yet on our computer?
hi from south texas
hi everyone
Good afternoon folks
Hi from rainy NoVA.
Good afternoon everyone, from rainy New Jersey
Guess I could read through today's slide deck and get a feel for whether we're going to see "top-down" vs "bottom-up", or "holistic", "conceptual", etc. Hey, all! Everyone enjoy the "break"?
Let's see: currently unemployed (searching, available on short notice) recent/nontraditional BsEE with years of professional experience in MANY areas (telecommunications, industrial lasers, biomedical devices, satellite dish positioners, etc). No specific current projects (although I've got a few "percolating", as usual).
hello from sunny MIAMI
Hi everyone
Hi everyone, it's good to be back in "class."
hi all
Hello everybody.
Howdy folks!! :)
Welcome to this class. I'm looking forward to presenting this subject which is something that I feel strongly will improve your development processes. If you have any questions, post them here and I will answer them after the lecture part is over.
I hope this starts its self in abour 35 mins.

Idk if you guys missed this great article on BG. Here it is.
http://hoopshype.com/columns/david-nurs ... better-now
Blake's also the sole subject of NBA.com's MVP ladder this week. Sekou Smith might just as well have gotten down on his knees and opened his mouth...
He's better cause he put in the work, didn't take sh*t and stepped up as a leader.
3 things. Work ethic, work ethic and finally, work ethic.
Obviously was brought up with a very high,you guessed it,work ethic.
Oh,and he has the skills that come around very rarely but instead of doing a bunch of crap half-assed,he learns one thing really well then moves on.
Being a freak of nature and having that work ethic was bound to pay off sooner or later.
Work ethic, the jumpshot and face up as well as improved FT shooting which is what I kept saying he actually needed when people were still whining about needing post moves like Blake is Shaquille O'neal. Undersized guys like Blake thrive with being able to score outside of the paint and then being able to face their defender and beat them or get to the line.
Blake embracing the face-up and also improving his shooting has even the primary factor in propelling his offensive abilities. The rest is that he's a very hard working player.

They marched with the faces of violent crime in Aiken County held high above them.
Pictures of Scotty Richardson, Sandy Rogers, De'Ante Darden, Joe Brown and many others were attached to signs and hoisted above a crowd of at least 50 people who marched on Saturday from the headquarters of Brothers and Sisters of Aiken County on York Street to the Smith-Hazel Recreation Center on Kershaw Street. Other signs read "Stop Violence," "Make a Change" and "No more Gangs."
They were marching as part of a "Stand with Our Children" rally to take a stand against violence, and to let people know there is a way to stop it.
"What we're trying to convey to our community is that we need to take it back," said Charonica Pope, program coordinator of Brothers and Sisters. "People are getting killed for useless reasons – alcohol and drugs, gang violence where they're using guns and knives to hurt each other and domestic violence as well. It's time to take a stand."
Brothers and Sisters provides a "structured place" for children between ages 5 and 17 to go in the afternoons after school to do homework as well as other positive activities.
Pope said Saturday's event was about the children.
"Maybe it will let them know, if you're having a problem or someone is approaching you in some way to get into a range or try to push off drugs, alcohol and things like that, they would look at not doing it," she said. "We've got to show our kids more love. It's a self esteem thing – if you have low self esteem, then you start looking at other avenues to build that, and that's their way of showing love to each other, which is negative."
Other youth organizations were invited to Saturday's event, including the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Boys and Girls Club. Pope said she wanted to let parents know there are numerous organizations in which they can get their children involved. "The parents don't force their kids to be involved anymore," she said. "They let them make the choices, and they need to stop that. When I was growing up, I wasn't allowed to say I'm not going to a program, I'm not going to church. I was told, 'You're going to church. You're going to school. You're gonna get an education, and you're gonna be involved in whatever's going on to keep your time and your mind occupied.'"
After arriving at Smith-Hazel, the group heard from some speakers, including Aiken City Councilwoman Gail Diggs, who read a quote she recently saw on Facebook: "It's not our job to toughen our children to face a cruel and heartless world. But it is our job to raise our children who will make the world a little less cruel and less heartless."
She said she's been a longtime supporter of Brothers and Sisters and encouraged adults to look into volunteering.
"All of us have a responsibility. We all play a part," she said. "These kids see us as role models, but they know we have expectations of them too. Today, I think it's meant to encourage these kids to do and be the best they can be. If they want to see more positive in this community, they've got to be part of it."
Anne Highley was marching Saturday along with her young nephew.
"My godson Marquez Tyler and my cousin Moses Williams were both killed violently," she said while walking and holding a picture of Williams. "I want our youth to be aware that we have a problem in Aiken County, and violence doesn't solve anything."
• Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard and has been with the newspaper since August 2012. He is a native of Williston and majored in communication studies at Clemson University.

Staff photo by Teddy Kulmala About 50 people joined hands and prayed before marching from Brothers and Sisters on York Street to Smith-Hazel Recreation Center on Saturday. The group was marching to protest violent crime in Aiken County and encourage alternative paths for children.×

John Shearen: State's busiest downloader of child porn arrested, officials say
Suspect accused of having as many as 1M videos
A Florida man is accused of having 1 million videos and pictures of child pornography.
John Shearen, 51, was arrested in Leesburg on Thursday.
IMAGES: 32 Most-Wanted Men Wanted For Crimes Against Children
Officers charged him with 14 counts of possession of child pornography and 15 counts of distributing the images.
"He has been the No. 1 downloader and person who distributes in the state of Fla.," Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent supervisor Jeff Duncan told Orlando television station WESH 2 News.
Shearen, who is a former military member, has no previous criminal record.
He's being held without bond and is expected to go before a judge on Friday.

A new series of the BBC Radio Scotland genealogy programme Digging Up Your Roots started last weekend (I only noticed this because the podcast popped up on Google Reader, otherwise I would have been none the wiser).
According to the BBC website this is the sixth series, although the presenter (Bill Whiteford) says in the introduction that it is series seven, so I am not sure who to believe.
The first episode is about High Achievers, people who left their mark on Scotland and the World (in a good way). In some respects this episode felt like an antidote to the stream of celebrity family trees that regularly try to make the headlines.
Apart from the few famous people in this episode the programme is largely devoid of celebrities, either as guests or subjects, and it is quite refreshing to hear about the lives of ordinary people and the research of ordinary people.
Although my family tree is very short on Scottish ancestors it is interesting to hear about family history from a Scottish perspective, and it is also good to hear from a genealogy expert (in this case Dr Bruce Durie) other than the ubiquitous Nick Barrett.
Even if you don't have Scottish ancestors it is well worth listening to, if you are not fortunate enough to live in Scotland then it can be found on the BBC iPlayer and is also available as a podcast, although I can't seem to find it on the BBCs podcast page, but this feed seems to work for me.

Ask any pregnant woman and she will tell you that now she's expecting what once smelled delicious - like roasting coffee beans for example, has suddenly become the one smell that induces an overwhelming feeling of nausea. For some women the pregnant nose goes into smell overdrive with incredible detection ability, in fact increased smell sensitivity can save lives. Just ask your local gas company – pregnant…
Fashion, eh? It comes and goes, then comes back around again, at once fleeting and eternal. A style is in one month and then is never heard of again – until it is heard of again, of course.
The quest for fashionable clothes never ends; it's just that what is in vogue is always changing.…

An Aiken teenager was detained for indecent exposure after he exposed his genitals to women inside a store on Monday, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Elijah Michael Brunson III, 17, of Lancaster Street, was charged with two counts of indecent exposure and placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Tuesday afternoon.
Officers were called to the Walmart on Whiskey Road around 10 p.m. on Monday and spoke with a 36-year-old woman who said Brunson was walking around the store and exposing his private parts. She directed officers to his last location.
"The suspect … stated that he had just gotten to the store and did not know what I was talking about," the report stated.
Another woman told officers she saw Brunson walking around exposing himself.
"She stated that the suspect made attempts to get her attention before he exposed himself," the report stated.
Brunson has previous charges on his record of failure to comply with a public safety officer and trespassing after notice.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

Shoppers at Lowe's on Whiskey Road on Saturday will have the opportunity to help Aiken County Habitat for Humanity. The organization is celebrating World Habitat Day with an effort to collect items that can be used in the construction of houses.
"The whole purpose of Habitat is to reach out to those who are in desperate need of decent, affordable housing," said Richard Church, Aiken County Habitat's executive director. "What we receive will be used to build houses in Aiken County."
Aiken County Habitat will have its ReSale Store truck in Lowe's parking lot from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The organization's volunteers will hand out lists to shoppers of things Habitat needs.
"When people leave the store, they can give us their purchased items," Church said. "Then we will give them tax receipts and put their donations in the truck."
During last year's World Habitat Day celebration, the donations included electric tools, hammers, nails, screws, tape measures and four pallets of lumber, Church said.
"Someone can go into Lowe's and buy an item for $1.25, and it will make a big difference to us," Church said.
Aiken County Habitat, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, has constructed 92 homes since it was founded in 1988. Members of the Habitat Campus Chapter at USC Aiken have built 22 sheds for the Crosland Park development project, gone on trips to help build houses in the area devastated by Hurricane Katrina and have worked on Habitat houses locally.
"We're always building, and we always need stuff," Church said.
In 1985, the United Nations General Assembly designated the first Monday in October as World Habitat Day. This year's date is Oct. 7. However, the United Nations announced that it would recognize Habitat Day in 2013 during a two-week period that started Oct. 1.
Dede Biles is a general assignment reporter for the Aiken Standard.
She has been with the newspaper since January 2013. A native of Concord, N.C., she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Good win by the Clips! Great to see JJ, CP, and BG resting in the 4th quarter.
Playoff time is approaching and DJ's getting scared.
Thank you, is there any way I can confirm it?
I know Blake's not traveling tomorrow, but if he got the tech tomorrow if he was playing instead of today, would he have been suspended for Game 1?
Nope. It would be the first game of next season.
Everything resets for the playoffs. Seven techs in the playoffs will earn him a 1-game suspension.
Would send DJ and rest the other starters. This freethrow slump started after the Dallas game so maybe the road can sort things out. Would of hoped front office would of had a 15th man ready to sign for the coming game.
basically people are scared that the Grizzlies are cheap and injure people, lol. Now of course, let's acknowledge that last season it was Lamar Odom's foot being in the wrong place that caused injury issues.
Who has the tie breaker between us an OKC because in the unlikely chance the loose to Detroit, that's a tie in records if we beat Portland. If Dallas wins and Memphis looses, that's a first round matchup vs Dallas too.
I do like the Warriors matchup because I have a good friend that is a a Warriors fan and it would be fun for us.
Playing against the Nuggets, I can't help but think about that lucky shot Foye hit. We'd be the #2 seed heading into tonight if it weren't for that. I don't really care who we face, every team will be tough.
The year before, though, Memphis' relentless cheapshotting left us with a tired and injured team. Remember Blake in obvious pain getting booed by their trailer-trash fans?

It was cold Tuesday � record-breaking cold.
The temperature at Durango-La Plata County Airport bottomed out at minus 21 degrees, 5 degrees colder than the previous record for the day set in 1963.
Briggen Wrinkle, who records Durango temperatures for the National Weather Service, said the low in the city was minus 11.
Few plumbers were answering the telephone Tuesday because they were answering calls from homeowners and businesses with frozen or cracked water pipes and seized-up water heaters or boilers.
�It�s bad everywhere,� said Lee Bell at Bell�s Heating Cooling & Plumbing. �I have 10, no, 11 calls for service.�
There has been a run on heat tape used to insulate pipes, said Glenn Haynie at Kroeger�s Ace Hardware.
�It�s a clear tape that gives protection,� Haynie said. �It will keep water flowing up to minus 40 degrees.�
Planes scheduled for early takeoff required de-icing at Durango-La Plata County Airport, said Don Brockus, deputy director of aviation. Afternoon flights didn�t have to do the procedure.
�The runway and taxiway have been usable through the recent series of storms,� Brockus said. �We�re working hard, though, to keep parking lots, sidewalks and streets safe for pedestrians.
�It�s been a dandy (the cold streak),� Brockus said. �I don�t live in Gunnison or Alamosa because these temperatures are routine there.�
Meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction said the cold snap will continue through the weekend although a slight warming trend is expected.
The high temperature today will be around 24, with an overnight low of minus 3.
Highs Thursday through Sunday will be 27, 31, 30 and 31, with lows around minus 4, minus 3, minus 4 and zero.
The high on Martin Luther King Day on Monday will be around 31.
A hazardous weather outlook is in effect for western Colorado and eastern Utah.
Light snow, with accumulation of up to 2 inches, was expected over the northern mountains. Very cold temperatures and local wind chill could drop the thermometer to minus 30 in some lower valleys.
The extreme cold has prevented the breakup of ice on certain stretches of U.S. Highway 550 over Coal Bank, Molas and Red Mountain passes, Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said.
�The passes are in good shape with a lot of dry pavement,� Shanks said. �The chain law has been dropped, but there are those icy places.�
The same condition exist on Wolf Creek Pass, she said.
Travel information and road conditions are available by dialing 511 or at www.cotrip.org.

Apply Online
Nominations for the 2017 Sloan Research Fellowships will open July 15, 2016. All nomination materials for the Sloan Research Fellowships must be uploaded electronically through Interfolio.com and submitted no later than 11:59PM EDT, September 15, 2016.
Interfolio Instructions
- Go to the appropriate Interfolio page via one of the links below.
- If you already have an Interfolio account, login to Interfolio. If you don't have an account, please create one. (There is no charge to create an account.)
- A complete nomination for a Sloan Research Fellowship involves two types of documents:
- Documents the candidate must supply his or herself. (e.g. the CV/publication list, personal research statement, and two representative articles by the candidate.)
- Documents that must be supplied on behalf of the candidate by another party. (e.g. nomination letter, the three letters of support.)
Note: Interfolio handles these two types of documents differently.
For documents the candidate must supply his or herself (CV, research statement, two research papers), the candidate uploads them directly through Interfolio. In addition, some basic information (name, educational history, etc.) must also be entered by the candidate. You do not have to do this all at once. Interfolio will save your work if you upload some, but not all, of the required documents or fill out some, but not all, of the required form fields.
For documents that must be supplied by another party (nomination letter, letters of support), the candidate provides the names and email addresses of the persons who will be supplying these documents. The Interfolio system then emails these people with a request for the documents and instructions for how to upload them. The writers of letters of support will have to login or sign up for an Interfolio account to upload their documents. (It's free.) Note: To ensure confidentiality, candidates may not upload nomination letters or letters of support directly. Letter writers must upload their letters themselves.
Once all nominee documents have been uploaded and letters electronically requested, the candidate submits the completed package. Please note that uploaded documents (with the exception of requested letters) are not automatically submitted to the Sloan Foundation for consideration. Candidates must initiate a submission process through Interfolio. Completed applications (letter requests, even unfulfilled, are considered "complete") must be submitted no later than September 15, 2016. The Foundation strongly encourages candidates to begin well in advance of the September 15 deadline to allow letter writers and nominators sufficient time to compose and upload their letters.
Note to department administrators: The Interfolio system is designed under the assumption that candidates for the Sloan Research Fellowships will be using the system themselves. Administrators who are collecting documents and submitting nominations on behalf of a faculty member should set up Interfolio accounts as if they were the nominated candidate.
The Interfolio system will allow a candidate to check the status of requested letters of support, allowing him or her to see whether a letter has been submitted on his or her behalf. (It won't let a candidate read the letter, however.) These letters will auto-attach to the candidate's submission to the Sloan Foundation, even after the September 15 deadline; therefore, do not wait to submit your application until you receive your letters.
To begin the nomination process, please click on the appropriate discipline for which you will be seeking a Sloan Research Fellowship.

Good thing this game is at staples. Nuggets seem to always give us trouble at the Pepsi center
Has anyone watched the Nuggets this season? I don't really have a proper idea of what the team is like with all the changes.
Yeah I followed that. Not sure what that is going to mean tonight, will they be demoralized or extra determined? As long as the Clips do their thing it shouldn't matter.
Really guys,it doesn't matter who we play,we generally play to their level. So I suspect no one will be leaving Staple early tonight.
David Stern unintentionally saves us again?
I'm not scared of this game, against western teams, for whatever reason, we play our best against
Has anyone seen them play this season?
Just one word..................................altitude!
even if injury wasn't an issue its always bad practice to trade a young player for one in his twilight and making a whopping salary. I was livid when the FO was in talks for that trade and I'm glad stern acted in our best interest to veto the trade
Interestingly, Friday was the first time Jackson's had the opportunity to practice since joining the team.
Yeah... I had my fingers crossed all summer over that Trade, didn't understand why we needed to trade for them when they're Highly likely to come in the offseason, KG for sure.
I want to see if Blake can Dominate this Game, Faried Gives him problems a bit because he's a good Defender and he plays hard
every possession. I'd also like to see if Collison can stay solid
Against Nate, also I'd like to see what lineups we use tonight for
the Bench with Barnes Back in the Fold.
David Stern gets my vote for General Manager of the Year.
Brian Shaw is against hacking players, so that's good.
I hope it makes a difference
This should be a good one tonight. Obviously, I'll be rooting for the Clips, but I am a huge Nate Robinson fan. He's been one of my favorite players since he was at UW. Best case scenario: Nate scores 25+, but Clippers still get the win. I'm excited for this game.
Nate is a freak of nature, a bit like EBled.
excited cause i will actually be at this game GO CLIPPERS!!
^ Enjoy the game bro, Let's go Clippers!!
usually true, maybe we break the mould tonight since they had a late and demoralizing night yesterday courtesy of Bled and Co.
Would be great for us to blow them out and rest cp/blake for tomorrow.
I didn't realise we have another game tomorrow. Yeah a blowout would be great.
Yeah hopefully the clippers keep up with the energy tonight..
Energy and defense. Hopefully Blake continues his all around strong play. Dudley keep it up too.
@nbastats: .@LAClippers 10-2 home record behind only OKC, IND & MIA. Clips rank 2nd in OffensiveRtg (111.9) & TrueShooting% (58.4%) among teams at home
yeah, I noticed this as well
Let's win this, Clippers!
Nice catch and shoot by JC!
Not so great rim protection there.
Our guards looking good so far...as is BG's rebounding.
Loving the start so far!
Good move Blake!
Blake looking pretty aggressive...I like!
Can't believe ty tried that!
Nice left handed hook shot by BG!
Blake can't hesitate on those jump shots. It just makes it harder to make them.
I wonder if Dj ever tried with his right hand. Worked for tristan
SO NICE to see Dudley hitting wide open jumpers now!
Nice energy we got this game!
He was so wide open I'm sure somewhere in his mind he thought, "Drive?"
But yeah, he needs to shoot without hesitation.
BG looks like he got scratched under his right eye.
So close dudley!
That was too easy by Chandler.
I'm happy when DJ hit's one out of two.
Great D by BG!
CP + Collison vs Nate + Lawson. Smallest backcourt matchup ever?
Bulls made a big mistake letting Nate go...is that an understatement?
Hmmm...I'd prefer Blake to make some inside baskets. I know he CAN hit those jumpers, but...
Nah at this point they should tank.
Collison dribbled it a bit too long.
I'd like to see Willie hit some shots!
