THE COLLEGE NEWS vol. XL, NO. 20 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1944 Copyright, 1 (uititi of Brvn M*wr < oltr, . . 1944 PRICE 10 CENTS Fisher Proposes U.S. Participation^ In Education Aims United States Must Plan For Foreign Students After War Goodhart, March 21. The most important obligations of the United States in Educational Re- construction, stated Dr. Edgar J. Fisher, are to support and partic- ipate in an international education- al organization and to welcome the great number of foreign students who plan to come to this country after the war. Assistant Director of the Insti- tute of International Education, Dr. Fisher said that an interna- tional educational agency should be set up within the framework of a world-wide political organization of nations after the war. The states in this organization would be on an equal basis. Each would be represented by an internation- ally minded personnel which would present the interests of both pri- vate and public education. The ad- ministration, Dr. Fisher continued, would be democratic and free from any political pressure. Countries in need of aid must not be coerced, but must choose their own methods and techniques in education. They should be en- couraged to teach the economic, political and moral relationships among nations. Taught largely by native personnel, the schools, Dr. Fisher stated, should emphasize Zontmned on Page 3 Elements in History Discussed by Parkes m Radnor, March 16. "While the rational elements in human be- havior have usually been inter- preted as causes of historical events", said Mr. Henry Bamford Parkes in his lecture on "'Irration- al Elements in History," "the modern trend is to stress the psy- chological factors involved. There are three predominant human irrationalities which have eaused the present world state, Mr. Parkes pointed out. They are: frustration, inability of the indi- vidual to mature completely, and finally the "vicious circle" arising from the fear of the ruling classes that they will be dominated. Any frustration leads to the impulse of aggression, Mr. Parkes stated. This impulse, when not openlyAxpressed, often finds an outlet Jprough the manifestation of aggression against an object not the original cause of the frus- tration. This Mr. Parkes desig- nated as irrational human behav- iour, citing the intolerance against racial minority groups as an out- standing example. Many people regress in some way to an infantile level, Mr. Parkes noted. The need for a dic- tator can be compared with the need of a child for a father, or father-image. If a child lacks the security upon which he relies, a sense of ill and resentment re- sults. On the other hand, the simultaneous hostility and obed- ience felt by a child towards a par- ent is parallel to a nation's emo- tion towards a dictator. A thwart- ed child and a thwarted people re- act in the same way; neither can express resentment directly and both, find another means of ex- Conlinued on Page i Wilcox Will Present Problem of Inflation At Alliance Assembly Clair Wilcox, Professor of Economics at Swarthmore College, will present the eighth in the ser- ies of War Alliance assemblies on current affairs on Wednesday, at- tempting to answer the question, Can We Prevent Inflation? Serving most recently as Direc- tor of the Material Division of the OPA in 1942-43, Dr. Wilcox has a distinctive record of service in Washington on various economic committees. Connected with the NRA, Dr. Wilcox was a member of the Advisory Council for the administration, as well as Consult- ing Economist of the Social Se- curity Board in 1936. Economic Expert Dr. Wilcox also served as eco- nomic expert for the Temporary National Economic Council in 1939-40, writing their monograph on Competition and Monopoly in American Industry. Having taken his B. S. and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Wilcox received his M. A. at Ohio State College in 1922, becom- ing assistant professor of Econ- omics first at Ohio Wesleyan, then at Swarthmore. Dr. Wilcox has held a full professorship at Swarthmore since 1931. Once a contributing editor to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dr. Wilcox has written books on the following subjects: economic in- equality, public control of business, rate limital and the general prop- erty tax, and the parole of adults. He served as secretary of the State Parole Commission of Penn- sylvania, 1926-27, and as director of the National Commission of Law Observance and Enforcement. Dr. Theodore Greene Finds Religious Faith Intellectually Honest Concluding that religious be- lief can be intellectually honest provided it is used to make up the deficiencies in our knowledge, Dr. Theodore M. Greene, McKosh pro- fessor of philosophy at Princeton, conducted the first of a series of discussions on philosophy and re- ligion. Calling knowledge and faith complementary, Dr. Greene ex- plained their relation to religion. Knowledge is made up of a com- bination of observation and inter- pretation, and an amalgamation of corporate and individual effort. Dr. Greene cited Kant's dictum: "Concepts without precepts are empty, precepts without concepts are blind." To be of value, obser- vation, awareness of the facts, must be combined with an inter- pretation of these facts, but the interpretation is worthless without a factual basis. To be complete, knowledge must include a combination of the work of individuals and groups. Pro- gress in science, for example, can only be achieved through individ- ual experimentation, but to be useful these experiments must be based on the achievements of oth- ers. It is impossible for the indi- vidual scientist to verify all the discoveries made in the past, therefore he must take their con- clusions on trust and proceed on his own. "Faith is an attitude of accept- ance sufficient for action but not wholly supported by knowledge", said Dr. Greene. It must be ac- cepted that man cannot know ev- erything and that every action he makes is irrevocable. The impulse which leads man to take action Conlmutu on Peg* * Board of Directors Approve Change In Self-Gov't Constitution and Rules Message from Chaos Leads Miss Stapleton To Chaotic Adventures But Satisfying Tea By April Oursler,' 46 It all began when Miss Staple- ton opened her morning mail one day last week, and found the fol- lowing epistle: Our dear Miss Stapleton, We have learned from reliable sources (1) that we have the two moat confused minds on campus. We regret this and as a teacher whose interest lies in the direct- ing of Young Minds, you should be grief- stricken (Hie). (2) For that reason, and also because we have wanted to meet you since our palmella stage, we thought you might be interested in joining ui in tea. (3) We will provide the food, and you will provide the light. (Signed) Chaos, Chaos. (4) P.S. Character recommendations can be had on request, but better not request. (') Footnotes: 1. Dean's Office. 2. We have often wondered what this means. 3. For further information call B. M. 9117. 4. An amoeba, order Amocbida, Family Amocbida, genus Amoebida. 5. Same as 1. 6. Confused, aren't we? Miss Stapleton, being a straight- forward sort of person, went im- mediately to the root of the mat- ter, and called the number given in Footnote 3, asking quite solemn- ly, as usual, "Is Chaos there?" Whereupon the maid politely re- plied, "Just a minute," and left in search of the wanted party, re- turning rather soon to ask for the spelling of that name. Slowly and carefully Miss Stapleton spelled it out: "C-H-A-O-S"; the maid held a serious consultation with some mysterious power, answered equal- ly slowly and carefully, "I'm vary sorry, but there is no one here by that name." However, Miss Sta- pleton, being a wise and knowing woman, asked that a note be left on the mail table reading merely: "Miss S. called up and asked for chaos." As the maid dutifully read back the message over the phone. Chaos arrived with a shriek to answer the phone herself, ex- plaining that she hoped there were no hurt feelings, and would she please come to tea, in spite of the confusion. Matters might have rested there, except for the fact that the amoe- bic Chaoses began to quiver in their boots, and sought refuge in Miss Gardiner who assured them that as head of their department, and, incidentally, a dean, she would never desert them in their hour of need. That night Miss Stapleton again answered the phone to be confronted with a small voice identifying herself as "the other Chaos," and asking that the tea be postponed two days as they felt the heed of "two lucid minds from the Dean's Office" and Mrs. Manning and Miss Gardiner would Join them at that later date. The great day came. Miss Sta- pleton timidly entered the hall, un- greeted and unsung, and crept down the corridors, peering at the doors, until she found the sign: "Chaos, Chaos." Then, as she said, "Feeling myself called upon to enlighten the confused minds of the campus, I entered with the lines from Paradise Lost:" Chaos and Ancient Knight.

Dargan Jones Given Traveling Fellowship For Medieval Studies Alice Dargan Jones, Bryn Mawr fellow in medieval studies, has been chosen by the faculty to re- ceive the Fanny Bullock Workman Fellowship for the coming year. Miss Jones is writing her thesis on Classical and Medieval Concep- tions of the Golden Age. It is prin- cipally a discussion of how the Golden Age is described in class- ical Latin poetry as compared to what it becomes in medieval liter- ature. Miss Jones plans to use the award, ordinarily a foreign fellow- ship, for further study at Harvard. Now the Senior Resident in Radnor, Miss Jones has been the fellow in medieval studies for two years. She received her A. B. from Bryn Mawr in 1941, and her M. A. from the University of Chicago in 1942. Seven Colleges Meet To Discuss Problems The theory of Self-Government and that of cooperative work on campus are the most important topics to be discussed at the Sev- en College Conference to be held at Wellesley on March 26th and 27th. Held yearly by Vassar, Smith, Radcliffe, Barnard, Swarthmore,1 Wheaton, and Bryn Mawr, the conference meets to discuss com-| mon campus problems. Each year a guest college is invited; this year's has not as yet been an-| nounced. Kay Tappen, Patricia St. Lawrence, Harji Malik and Vir- ginia Thomas will represent Bryn( Mawr. In the two days of conference the delegates will meet Miss Wil- son, Wellesley's Dean of Students and Mrs. Ewing, Dean of Resi- dence, on Saturday night and on Sunday they will discuss the pro- posed agenda informally. This exchange of views is particularly helpful due to the fact that the seven Middle Atlantic States' col- leges taking part are of the same general type as far as sire and or- Continuti on P*gt 4 New Rules Become Effective Immediately After Spring . Vacation The Board of Directors in its meeting on Thursday, March 16, approved all changes in the Self- Goverrrment Constitution and rules which were voted upon in mass meetings as well as those voted upon in hall meetings last week. The latter included the addition of a new article, amend- ments to four existing articles, and three resolutions. These changes will become effective im- mediately after spring vacation. The addition to the Constitu- tion which will become Section VIII of Articles VI provides for a reconsideration of the rules ev- ery four years by either the legis- lature or a special committee. It was passed 369 to 7. A vote of 350 to 30 changed the number of mem- bers constituting a quorum from one third to three fifths (Article VI, Section I). The Editor of the College News and the President of the War Al- liance were voted, 367 to 21, to became members of the Legisla- tuie. Section VI of the same ar- ticle was changed to provide for one week's notice of a meeting and forty-eight hours' notice of the business to be discussed. A vote of 374 to 9 passed it. By a vote of 378 to 4 Section VI of Article VI was changed to require a sim- ple majority vote in the presence of a quorum to assure the validity of a vote. Students voted 207 to 160 against keeping the resolution prohibiting permission later than 12:15 on Sunday nights. The res- olution permitting wearing of ath- letic costume off campus in direc- tions other than the village was passed 361 to 4. The resolutions permitting the Executive and Ad- visory Boards to confiscate radios and victrolas and requiring at least two students to go to Saun- der's Barn during the day will be omitted. The votes were 346 to 21 respectively. Although there was a clear ma- jority in favor of changing the figures in Article VIII, Sections 1 and 2 of Article XI from two- thirds to three-fifths failure of a sufficient number of members to vote prevented their ratification. 18th Model Assembly Sets Up Commissions The Eighteenth Model Assembly to be held at Bryn Mawr from March 30 to April 1 will consist of the following commissions: Po- litical, World Economic Collabor- ation, Relief and Rehabilitation, and Educational Reconstruction. The plan of discussion for each commission has been outlined by the conference. The colleges now planning to send delegates are: Adelphi, Bar- nard, Beaver, Brooklyn, Bucknell, University of Buffalo, City Col- lege of New York, Colgate, Cor- nell, Haverford, Hunter, Lafayette, Long Island University, Loyola, Nazareth, New York University, Queens, University of Pennsylva- nia, Princeton, Rosemont, Sarah Lawrence, Swarthmore, Wilson, St. Lawrence, and Bryn Mawr.

Pure Genius Mr. Geithner
Having a hard time finding a job? Well here is the reason why. Let me tell you the story. Way back in the 1970's you had this company called IBM. IBM started out as a tiny company which grew into an international powerhouse, a monolithic monstrosity. They made a lot of money along the way. They were the Microsoft before Microsoft. So along comes the 70's and all the business analysts said, "hey, how come IBM isn't prospering as much anymore?". The answer turned out to be that IBM had too much management. It had this massive hierarchy of managers who were sucking all the profits out of the company and producing an inefficient business as each of these managers engaged in empire building which did nothing to improve the company's profits.
So IBM wisely embarked on a program to flatten its management structure. Lo and behold, other companies followed suit, eliminating all kinds of management positions. Now you would think that this would result in huge numbers of managers in the unemployment line and initially it did. But, quickly these managers created NEW companies of their own, many of which became huge, successful monoliths themselves.
The benefit to this streamlining was that they found out that people were being OVER managed unnecessarily. They found that people can manage themselves and are usually willing to do so. So the responsibilities of managers began to decline. As they did, companies became more efficient. Very interesting, if the story ended here.
But the story does not end there. What happened in the 80's, and 90's was that companies turned around and re-created the large hierarchy of managers again. This time though, the duties of the managers had nothing to do with managing people. Instead they took on new responsibilities as the world, technology and capitalism itself became more complex. The information age was in full swing and that needed managers to manage the resulting complexities of new technologies emerging almost daily and the necessary changes that companies had to undergo.
While all of this was going on another change was happening, POLITICS. The politics of the United States was changing. And that political change was being forced onto companies and they needed even more managers to mange that. As part of this political change, and the nature of the change in duties of managers, the STATUS of management also changed. No longer were mangers people who were promoted from the troops. They became ELITE, separate from the employees. Managers no longer associated with employees and eventually even stopped participating in the hiring process, especially in tech businesses, as managers did not have the knowledge or skills to know who to hire. It was the self-managing employees who now had that skill. So they were tasked with doing the hiring.
The effects of this are complex and striking. Managers were no longer made responsible for employees. If something didn't work, it was the responsibility of the employees, not management. When something went wrong, employees were fired, not management. This situation was primarily a result of the political change which led to lawsuits against companies when employees were fired. By making the employees manage themselves, management could no longer be blamed for failures and any failure could be used as an excuse to get rid of an employee and it was usually the other employees who called for the person's dismissal, not management. Since managers no longer even dealt with the employees they could not be accused of any violation of the new laws.
Of course this change has brought about other unintended consequences. Companies today, especially in tech, are primarily operated by the employees. Projects are run by the member employees assigned to the project. They conceive, research, schedule, and implement the projects with amazingly little input or oversight from managers. Some people might think this is a good thing but hold on.
Along with the political change, and the resulting disconnect between managers and employees, there has been a fundamental change in the nature of the workplace. Today it has become a substitute culture for the societal culture that was wiped out during the 60's - 80's. People found happiness at work. But in order to maintain happiness at work they had to control the environment. And they did that by controlling who was allowed to work there and as a result the workplace culture itself became political, social. And this fundamental shift has once again made companies inefficient. Over time companies have lost smart, productive employees who did not fit in well with the company's culture. And, companies have filled up with lesser skilled, unproductive employees who fit in well with the culture. Its no longer about making the company more profitable. Its about keeping the work environment pleasant.
The corporate culture today is bifurcated, employees and management, and the two cultures shall never mix. The culture at the management level has also become political as managers too want a pleasant workplace but they define "pleasant" differently. Managers, usually being ambitious people, have changed their goals and tactics to take advantage of the new politics. Today managers are often not punished for failing businesses. In fact they are often rewarded. This is a result of their elite status which has changed how corporate managers deal with each other. "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours. Who cares about the company? If we can vote ourselves a huge compensation package then the company's success or failure is irrelevant. It only needs to last long enough to make us rich."
And, not surprisingly, what do you see as one of the major political movements today based on? Answer: Corporate Elitism. And guess what. They're right. Corporate elitism has become one of the biggest threats to the United States. Why? Because you cannot have a successful civilization without a successful economy. And you can't have a successful economy without successful businesses. And you cannot have successful businesses where the goals of the management are in conflict with the success of the company. And you cannot solve this problem by having government take over businesses. Government does not know how to run these businesses. And it was government who created the corporate elitism problem in the first place with their truly foolish changes in the laws, forcing companies to do things that damaged them.
If the people of the United States are not able to determine the cause of the problem then the problem will get steadily worse and the US economy will fail. People today with certain political beliefs think that government can solve this problem, but they are sadly mistaken. It cannot. And if the problem is not solved the United States will cease to be a super power on Earth and become just another banana republic or socialist stagnation, a path the country is currently on.
Mr. Obama and Mr. Geithner think they can FIX the banking system. And this is based on what, their extensive knowledge of the banking industry? Or their extensive business experience? Or is it their extreme political beliefs, that they are elite and know better than corporate leaders?
Government elitism caused corporate elitism and they will be our downfall.

The Louvre's New Islamic Art Wing
Mario Bellini and Rudy Ricciotti designed the new Islamic Art Wing in the Cour Visconti, an 18th-century courtyard and the last available building site at the Louvre. The architects were chosen for the commission in part because of how their design respected the existing architecture.

Altering the Louvre architecturally is tantamount to operating on the collective French psyche. The former palace embodies much of the French history that every schoolchild learns by rote: Changing it means tampering with inculcated cultural memory. The monumental glass pyramid that I.M. Pei famously built in 1989 in the Cour d'Honneur—among the first changes that former President François Mitterrand initiated for the "Grand Louvre" museum expansion project—polarized the French, eliciting cris de coeur on both sides of the controversy. Some still don't accept it.
Twenty-three years later, the Louvre has just opened the last major alteration in Mitterrand's "Grand Louvre" plan: the new wing of the Department of Islamic Art. Winning an international competition in 2005, Italian architect Mario Bellini and French architect Rudy Ricciotti designed a glass-walled pavilion with an undulating roof of metal mesh centered in the 18th-century Cour Visconti. The courtyard, a hallowed precinct of serene classical façades, was the Louvre's last available building site.
Since the September opening of the $130 million addition, controversy has been conspicuous by its absence. The new structure has been accepted and even praised in the general press, without any notable resistance.
In his inaugural comments, the director of the Louvre, Henri Loyrette, noted that the new addition follows in the Louvre's own tradition of architectural innovation: Though France's strict architectural preservation laws give the impression that the country has been architecturally conservative, Loyrette suggests that, to the contrary, the kings and subsequent heads of state were architecturally progressive and always hired the best and brightest of their time to work on the Louvre.
The result is a monument that constitutes a nearly encyclopedic history of official national architecture, from its original medieval origins through its renaissance, baroque, and Napoleonic incarnations.
Like Pei's glass pyramid, the new structure is basically a glazed space frame, composed of some 8,800 metal tubes, which support a sandwich of wire-mesh scrims that filter and evenly distribute natural light. But if Pei's pyramid, as a Euclidean form that shows off the mechanics of structural support, adheres to a 20th-century mechanical paradigm, Bellini and Ricciotti's design belongs instead to a digital design paradigm of the 21st century. Resembling a wafting handkerchief or flying carpet or Bedouin tent, the undulating roof has the iridescence of a dragonfly wing. Flat planes have been warped by computational splines into a floating shell of complex curves. Linear has gone nonlinear.
Visitors peering out classical windows into the majestic Cour Visconti on the Seine side of the palace see the pavilion's roof below, a Saharan topography of gold-tinted mesh dunes. The roof rises and falls in the courtyard without touching the sacrosanct walls or interrupting the view of the façades. The courtyard has gained an unexpected, post-classical geometry that is much kinder and gentler than Pei's more imposing and competitive pyramid. With a keen sensitivity to the existing architecture, the addition has added a chapter on parametric design to the Louvre's eminent history.
The choice of the winning design, in fact, rested on its perceived respect for the Cour Visconti: Bellini and Ricciotti's design was the only entry to build down into the ground beneath the courtyard, rather than up. The architects proposed that the visible part of the pavilion be built at grade with the roof rising only to the lower level of the piano nobile, but they also excavated 12 meters into the court for a subterranean gallery that linked laterally into other existing basement galleries. They added another subterranean level below as a service floor.
Excavating below grade required the pharaonic and costly effort of shoring up and underpinning the palace's existing foundations, but the basement galleries promised the curatorial advantage of connecting the Islamic collections to other thematically related collections, giving added cultural dimension to the displays. Exhibitions of Islamic objects will now complement adjacent galleries of Byzantine art from the Eastern Mediterranean.

These sturdy file storage containers bring all of your important files together in one convenient area. Store files that are not currently needed, but can't be thrown away, such as old contracts. Keep files safe from debris and environmental damage by using the included secure lids.
Reusable Plastic Containers
Plastic storage containers are perfect for use in humid areas or where dirt and dust are common. The plastic material creates a solid barrier between the contents of the box and the exterior room or building, so your files will stay looking as good as new. Files with lids snap closed and stay secure, and these file boxes typically feature handles that make moving them quick and easy. Instead of writing on the box, use printed labels that you can easily replace if you choose to reuse the box for another purpose.
Durable Cardboard Storage
Keep file folders stored away in durable cardboard boxes. Many of these options feature space for you to write labels and instructions directly on the box, removing the risk of stickers falling off during long-term storage. These boxes feature cutout handles for a secure grip, and the material is often partially recycled, making the boxes environmentally friendly.
Stacks to Maximize Space
These boxes feature sturdy sides, allowing you to stack them with minimal risk of collapse. Some are made to fit a steel frame that adds extra support by taking the pressure off of the boxes, and the frame also gives you easy access to the boxes since they can pull out like drawers. Steel frames provide vertical stability and prevents stacks of boxes from falling over when nudged or on uneven ground.

Mentor Graphics Integrates Inflexion UI into GENIVI-Compliant Embedded In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) Base Platform
WILSONVILLE, Ore. November 16, 2011 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the integration of its award-winning Inflexion® user interface (UI) technology with the Mentor® Embedded In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) Base Platform, that complies with the requirements of the GENIVI Alliance, an automotive and consumer electronics industry association driving the collaborative development of open source IVI systems. The inclusion of the Inflexion UI tool with the Mentor IVI Base Platform enables automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers to easily develop rich, customized 2D and 3D human machine interfaces (HMI)— including touch screen capabilities—within the automotive workflow for automotive systems.

Photoshop "Pencil" Brush
1. Start with this brush. It's one of the standard Photoshop brushes.
2. In the Shape Dynamics section of the Brushes palette, set the Size Control to Pen Pressure and set the Angle jitter to 100%.
3. Next, in the Brush Tip Shapes section, set the Spacing to something like 20%. Spacing will control what looks like paper-grain.
(Note: as with all brushes, if the spacing is set too low, you run the risk of bogging down the speed performance of the brush...especially with large brushes.)
This is the basic brush, but you can always add other dynamics. I'll often add an opacity control to the brush (found in "Other Dynamics"), so I can get the effect of a light touch.
Remember, these dynamics can be adjusted depending upon your needs. For instance, if you don't want your pencil co come to a sharp point at low pressure, turn down the Size Control (from step 1). Or turn it off entirely.
OK, that's pretty much it. Now go draw!

Eeeeeee! Thank you thank you thank you! It is something I'm going to have to try; maybe it'll motivate me to pick up some Photoshop stuff and not be terrified of it.
Just think of the wallpaper applications you can do with this! *grins*

It is really kind to share your small secret!
It is weird because I usually do not use opacity in "other dynamics" but the other option just under, the flux variation.

Right at the start of this Weblog I let out the great secret of how easy it is to run a project to choose your ideal electrical systems interconnect design software package. Obviously I'm pleased but not surprised when it turns out to be CHS which is the ideal choice, but that's by the by for now. I want to re-introduce you to that simple model. It describes the things which regardless of organization size you need to focus on to realize the value in your business using tools like CHS – an off-the-shelf commercial software package. Whether you are in a large or a compact business unit, doing electrical design through to manufacturing for aircraft or spacecraft, a transportation OEM like a car or an off-road vehicle maker, or a harness supplier to this sector your needs map looks similar to the diagram below. Use this as a guideline and your evaluation will be swift, inexpensive and effective.
A: One quarter of your requirements cover the adequate modeling of your finished product and the design to workflow manufacture of that product. The parts, the assemblies, the quantities, the relationships and the characterizations – everything.
B: One quarter of your requirements comprise realization of the business benefits (for example doing more with the same or less human resource, fuelling market expansion). These requirements do not manifest in individual features of software functionality. The realization of business benefits is the goal, why you purchase in or software built.
C: One quarter of your requirements consist of the satisfying of your organization's CAD output needs, like adhering to drawing standards, representing entities on printable documents which have been drafted flawlessly and efficiently.
D: One quarter of your requirements involve attaining a degree of interoperability and automation between your electrical interconnect systems design domain and the rest of the organization, for interfacing and integration with PLM, PDM, MCAD, commercial, inventory systems.
So approximately half of the needs address technical determinations (A and C) and the other half are located firmly in the organization's business drivers (B and D). Some organizations are biased more towards their engineers' interests and some organizations give primacy to the commercial imperatives, and so emphasize systems integration, time to market and reductions in quality failures. There is variation, but there is invariably common ground.
More home-grown or less?
In which of these 4 areas are you normally going to find more "home-grown" coding going on, and where are you likely to find less? It is in the area of interoperability where appearance of custom coding is most often seen.
Motivation to stray outside of your vendor's offering, or never go there in the first place comes from three areas. Firstly to supervise and help users you can develop a business and systems overview which can lead you away from commercial solutions. Secondly, with a software suite, or a network of software point tools of sorts in place, managers and engineers are faced with flaws in coverage and choose to fill in the gaps themselves. Thirdly, there's a desire to expand out from present known functionality, doing the same sort of thing better, adapting to a new reality in the business using similar solutions to what has worked in the past.
Let's look at these in turn. The letters A,C,D refer to 3 of the requirements' quadrants above.
- Imperfect vision = imperfect solution.
Planning, responsibility and support for electrical systems interconnect design is needed. If supervision of the information technology automation of the domain is patchy, and in the absence of comprehensive tool coverage, problems can result in localized solutions being applied at the areas of greatest pain. Point tools will result, some of them customized e.g. generalized office automation tools with added value like spreadsheets may be used, with Visual Basic, & standalone databases or similar. These can adequately fulfill user needs, solve problems. Over time these outposts of automation may be joined up. The interlacing of special custom-written solutions adds a further degree of difficulty dislodging the ad-hoc collection of utilities or more sophisticated suites of programs. This difficulty at such time as the organization wants to impose a more holistic approach to their business is going to cost money and time to resolve.
- Gap Filling.
A: Where an off-the-shelf system is unable to model say a particular widget that is used in the finished product.
C: Where an off-the-shelf system cannot automate to your complete satisfaction the graphical representations you want to see in your schematics and you choose to supplement the functionality.
D: Where an off-the-shelf system does not offer an interface to a corporate system and you elect to make your own arrangements to make software to interchange data.
- Extending
A: New circumstances can arise in the workflow – for example willingness to adopt a new design approach, e.g. composite or modular complexity. Also functional additions may be desired because new physical aspects of the electrical systems interconnect are not catered for and your vendor cannot implement changes to the core tool at your request so you elect to construct the software yourself. This is unmet need which ideally your vendor or their consulting organization can also cater for. Sometimes a third party consulting effort can meet the need. Or you may look to internal resources. One simple example is that your business extends beyond a need for a single-user or federated pattern of usage into fully mediated client-server architecture.
C: CAD Outputs. Again a new design approach can have a radical impact on the appearance of drawing outputs and consideration may be given to different approaches to making this more efficient than relying on manual re-work of the graphics.
D: Interoperability. Changes in versions/capabilities of Mechanical CAD systems' usage are typically what comes to mind in terms of extensions that CHS or a similar tool needs to be most often catering for. With a reputable vendor, one which is putting effort into maintaining and improving their offering you can expect a strategy to cover most, if not all of these needs.
What's in it for the end user?
Using a vendor's API has significant advantages in terms of enduring compatibility with the object model. The data definitions and the API will adapt to the change in the metadata better than an external resource calling in to the data structures, for example through ODBC.
Be aware of your finish line and decide where the "good enough" mark is, giving engineers what they need to do their designs and giving you access to your own data. It is a mistake to reach for the same solution to a customization need which worked last time (for example the spreadsheet macro) in a new context. Software vendors can fall into this trap too, but should be less prone to it. It can be like succeeding in fixing your heating system with a mallet and a screwdriver when it was faulty and then picking up the same implements to deal with a cracked pane of glass.
In the next installment, I will get to the discussion of the money aspect – give you some pointers as to how to decide whether to grow-your-own solutions is the most cost effective way.

dB Voltage Ratio
This calculation will give you the ratio, in decibels, between two voltages. For example, you can calculate the gain needed to raise the output level from 0.775 volts to 1.4 volts. You can also use this to calculate how much attenuation you need if, for instance, you have a 2.0 volt input level and you need to attenuate it to 0.2 volts to prevent input overload.
Enter any two values and press "Calculate" for the remaining value. Press "Reset" before performing each calculation.
Equation used to calculate the data:
dB = 20 * Log (Vout / Vin)

Rochester Police: Truancy fines for parents who 'don't care'
Friday, December 14, 2012
ROCHESTER — After garnering much attention from the national media with the announcement of charging parents with criminal violations for students' school skipping, the Rochester School Board heard from one concerned parent Thursday night.
Superintendent Michael Hopkins noted some children so far this school year have missed 35 days of school, but since the announcement of the diversion program, and the potential for fines of up to $1,000, he has seen some students change their behavior, especially at Spaulding High School.
Halsey, along with her husband Jason Halsey, said following the meeting, that has not been her experience. With the narrowing of the Children in Need of Services (CHINS) law in the recent months, she said she feels her family is out of options for working with her troubled child.
"We do care," Halsey said.

Members of congress have the best health care our money can buy and the health care executives are raking in more money than most of us can imagine. So what's wrong with this picture? It's a picture painted by the same artist that painted the AIG piece, "Greed." They call themselves the free market Health Care Industry and will sell you insurance if your healthy and don't have a preexisting condition like breathing. Even right wing politicians like Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal understand that. Then they will tell us what hospitals we can go to,what Dr. we can see and have the right to change their minds at their convenience and there is no way to hold them accountable. Just like AIG they are stealing America blind!
WASHINGTON (AP) — If the global economy were a 100-yard dash, the U.S. would start 23 yards behind its closest competitors because of health care that costs too much and delivers too little, a business group says in a report to be released Thursday. The report from the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs of major companies, says America's health care system has become a liability in a global economy.
Americans spend $2.4 trillion a year on health care. The Business Roundtable report says Americans in 2006 spent $1,928 per capita on health care, at least two-and-a-half times more per person than any other advanced country.
The free market Health Care Industry had a chance to do this right and just like AIG they lined their pockets, at our expense.
Crain's Detroit Business
Here was the compensation last year for several of the top executives at Blue Cross, according to documents filed with the state Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.
• CEO Dan Loepp earned total compensation of $1.79 million in 2008. Loepp, who became CEO in July 2005, received $910,000 in base pay, $727,000 in bonus and $160,000 in other compensation. He earned $1.65 million in 2007.
• CFO Mark Bartlett earned $1.2 million in total compensation. Bartlett received $571,000 in base salary, $559,000 in bonuses and $108,000 in other compensation. He earned $1.17 million in 2007.
• D. Robertson, vice president of innovation and emerging markets, earned total compensation of $1 million. He earned $439,000 in 2007.
• Darrell Middleton, senior vice president of business efficiency and human performance, earned total compensation of $995,000. He earned $580,000 in 2007.
• Jean Carlson, senior vice president of subsidiary operations, earned total compensation of $960,000. She earned $707,000 in 2007.
• Kevin Seitz, executive vice president of health care value enhancement, earned total compensation of $936,000. He earned $877,000 in 2007.
Four other former Blue Cross executives received large retirement packages:
• Les Viegas, former executive vice president, received $3.46 million in total compensation. He earned $998,000 in 2007.
• William Smith, former executive vice president of operations, received $2.06 million. He earned $943,000 in 2007.
• John Austin, former senior vice present and chief actuarial officer, received $1.49 million. He earned $802,000 in 2007.
• Jann Cantelon, former vice president of group servicing and support, received $1.34 million. He earned $341,000 in 2007.
If that don't make you sick then I suggest nothing will. The so called free market had it's chance and blew it and now it's time to move on to a single payer system so if they screw one of us they screw all of us and then we can hold them accountable!

Police Training on Diabetes: Dwindling, If Anything
Topics touching diabetes never go away, but many of them seem to get sidelined at times. We often ask ourselves, "Whatever happened to…?" In this case, training police to better deal with people with diabetes (PWDs) who might be acting irrationally due to a blood sugar low? Today, fellow D-blogger and journalist Mike Hoskins joins us to report on the state of affairs (spoiler alert: it's frustrating!).

Distal median nerve dysfunction is a form of peripheral neuropathy that affects the movement of or sensation in the hands.
A common type of distal median nerve dysfunction is carpal tunnel syndrome .
Neuropathy - distal median nerve
Dysfunction of one nerve group, such as the distal median nerve, is called a mononeuropathy . Mononeuropathy means there is a local cause of the nerve damage, although occasionally body-wide (systemic ) disorders may cause isolated nerve damage.
Distal median nerve dysfunction occurs when the nerve is inflamed, trapped, or injured by trauma. The most common reason is trapping (entrapment), which puts pressure on the nerve where it passes through a narrow area. Wrist fractures may injure the median nerve directly or may increase the risk for trapping a nerve later on.
Inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis ) or joints (arthritis ) can also cause nerve compression.
Conditions that affect connective tissue or cause deposits to form in tissue can block blood flow and lead to nerve compression. Such conditions include:
In some cases, no cause can be identified. Diabetes can make this condition worse.
Your doctor will examine your wrist and ask questions about your medical history. The examination may show decreased sensation in the thumb side of the hand. This is called the "radial" side. There may be weakness of the thumb and difficulty using it to pinch.
Tests that reveal distal median nerve dysfunction may include:
Tests are guided by the suspected cause of the dysfunction as suggested by the patient's history, symptoms, and pattern of symptom development. They may include various blood tests, x-rays, imaging scans, or other tests and procedures.
Treatment is aimed at correcting the underlying cause.
If the median nerve is affected by carpal tunnel syndrome, a wrist splint can reduce further injury to the nerve and help relieve symptoms. It is often enough to wear the splint only at night to give the area a rest and allow inflammation to decrease.
In some cases, no treatment is required and recovery happens on its own. Over-the-counter or prescription medication may be needed to control nerve pain (neuralgia ).
If other nerves are also affected, it is necessary to look for an underlying medical problem that can affect nerves. Medical conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease can damage nerves. In these cases, treatment is directed at the underlying medical condition.
Physical therapy exercises may be appropriate for some people to maintain muscle strength. Orthopedic assistance may maximize the ability to use the hand. Such therapy may involve braces, splints , or other appliances. Vocational counseling, occupational therapy, occupational changes, job retraining, or other measures may be recommended.
Some patients with carpal tunnel syndrome may need surgery. See: Carpal tunnel release
If the cause of the nerve dysfunction can be identified and successfully treated, there is a good chance of full recovery. In some cases, there may be partial or complete loss of movement or sensation. Nerve pain may be severe and persist for a prolonged period of time.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of distal median nerve dysfunction. Early diagnosis and treatment increase the chance of curing or controlling symptoms.
Prevention varies depending on the cause. In patients with underlying diabetes, controlling blood sugar may reduce the risk of developing nerve disorders.
In occupations that require repetitive wrist movements, a change in the way the job is performed may be necessary. Frequent breaks in activity, "wrist rests" on keyboards, and other measures may reduce the risk of distal median nerve dysfunction. When possible, avoid prolonged repetitive movement of the wrist.

EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, YOKOHAMA, Japan - November 20, 2013 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the Mentor® Embedded Hypervisor, Nucleus® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and Mentor Embedded Linux® products can be combined to enable the introduction of intelligent and secure connectivity for today's advanced medical devices and industrial systems. As a small footprint Type 1 hypervisor that includes support for ARM® TrustZone® the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product is ideal to support the connectivity required of both medical and industrial systems that are part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) trend.
With the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product, developers can create high performance systems that integrate and consolidate applications on multicore processors, safely separate and isolate applications, and make use of the ARM TrustZone. Development of new systems can be accelerated by reusing existing software and protecting intellectual property while incorporating new functionality including connectivity between devices and the cloud.
Medical devices can incorporate Linux or Android and communicate with sensitive data such as patient records, while real-time functions such as diagnostics and patient monitoring can occur on an application running on the Nucleus RTOS separated by the hypervisor. Industrial control systems that require real-time and deterministic execution can be given priority and combined with connectivity safely through the separation provided by the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product. By using the virtualization provided with the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor solution, the frequency of hardware refreshes, the cost of each refresh, and the impact to process operations when a refresh occurs, can also be reduced.
"Freescale i.MX applications processors based on ARM technology provide a scalable platform that balances the power, performance and graphics needs of next-generation smart and connected devices," said Rajeev Kumar, director of worldwide marketing and business development for Freescale® Semiconductor's Microcontrollers business. "The Mentor Embedded Hypervisor combined with Freescale i.MX applications processors enables medical and industrial companies to deliver greater value by combining real-time functionality through an RTOS along with less critical functionality such as device connectivity and user interfaces through the separation provided by the hypervisor."
The Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product includes support for ARM TrustZone, for applications requiring hardware-based partitioning of resources such as memory, crypto blocks, and keyboard/screens creating a completely separate secure world operating environment. It features a flexible device model that supports virtualized device access and direct device access for performance-critical applications and provides various mechanisms for inter-guest communications.
The framework of the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product is extremely flexible, allowing it to run on single-core or multicore processor architectures supporting asymmetric multi-processing (AMP), symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), or a combination of both. With optional dynamic scheduling of virtual machines, it allows for the load balancing of the payload and priority-based execution to support stringent real-time and performance constraints. The combination of the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product and latest system on chip architectures from silicon vendors provides an integrated solution to speed development on these emerging hardware platforms.
By using the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product, embedded systems developers can:
- Reduce test and debug times by consolidating and isolating multiple functions on a single multicore compute platform
- Take advantage of symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing, or combinations of both (AMP/SMP)
- Build secure, high-performance embedded systems at the highest privilege level in a system
- Use the ARM TrustZone secure system architecture and deliver both normal and secure operations, such as secure boot, secure PIN access, and secure data handling within a single embedded application
- Partition devices and memory to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive resources
"The combination of the Mentor Embedded Hypervisor, Nucleus RTOS and Mentor Embedded Linux gives developers the technology and flexibility needed to meet the demands of today's complex and highly connected devices," said Scot Morrison, general manager of Runtime Solutions, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. "The built-in security capabilities provide assurances of reliability and data integrity, and the comprehensive solution of runtimes, tools, and services enables companies to differentiate and lead in their respective markets."
The Mentor Embedded Hypervisor product will ship in December 2013. For additional product information, contact a Mentor Embedded sales representative or call 800-547-3000. Or visit the company website at: http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/hypervisor.
