The industry is niche and the money is good. But, not many can make it to a job in EDA. If you are a master in digital concepts and semiconductor concepts, this is the industry for you. EFYTimes.com spoke to Raghu Panicker, sales director- India, Mentor Graphics about the prospects in EDA industry and how can one make a career in this domain. Excerpts:
What does a career in EDA mean?
Career in EDA can be broadly segmented into two-three segments. When you talk of EDA, it is very closely connected with semiconductor and VLSI design. In a VLSI design process, there are terminologies called front-end and back-end. So broadly the design and development careers can be classified into front-end domain and back-end domain. Somebody who wants to take a front-end career should explore a little bit on the architectural stand point if he/she wants to design a micro-processor. Going forward it would be necessary to scale up your technical skills/knowledge to understand the architecture better. For a career in back-end, the focus is not so much on architecture.
What are the opportunities for an engineer to make career in designing of EDA tools?
The opportunities are huge and immense for Electronics and Computer science Engineers in India. Usually the careers categories that an aspirant can look for are : Design & Development, Application Engineering, Customer Support, Product Management and Sales. The jobs are with EDA tool vendors like Mentor Graphics, Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys, semiconductor companies, which are the users of these CAD/CAM tools to design their products like Infineon, STMicroelectronics. In the last couple of years, we have larger interest by engineering institutes to teach subjects like VLSI & semiconductors. Though they already exist, but they have gone into the domain of digital electronics and microprocessors. There are VLSI labs or the CAD/CAM labs in the premier IITs, NITs and a few Tier I and Tier II engineering colleges. EDA vendors like Mentor Graphics have donated the tools, test cases and building blocks which will help an engineer to do hands-on project, which have encouraged the students to choose this domain. It helps them to go through the entire process of design flow and come out with a project which will enable them to get into the companies.
What are the necessary attributes for anyone to make a career in EDA?
Primarily, a candidate should be an electronics engineer or a computer engineer. EDA professionals are supposed to develop software tools, so engineers from the computer science background also find applicability in this career. Then, there are specific guys that we look for from the electrical domain as well. Larger portion of electronics and computer science and a portion of electrical guys come in this domain. Secondly, the students should have done minimum one front end project or a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) project in their engineering colleges. This will make them understand the VLSI flow.
One needs to master the digital concepts and the semiconductor concepts while in college. We have seen that there is dearth of good teachers in this space. The reason is that everyone who comes in the industry wants to go and work in a multinational and nobody wants to teach. Then, there is also dearth of good VLSI labs which seems to be improving with time. Another major issue is that students don't want to study subjects like analogue design, digital design, micro-processors, etc. But these are the subjects that they should be thorough in before they take projects in the area of EDA or VLSI and get hired by the companies.
So where does one start from?
People willing to make career in EDA should get into an engineering college where they should try and focus on subjects like digital electronics, analog devices and micro-processors. Candidates should master these subjects while they are in college and also work on projects based on electronics. It could be an FPGA project, a front-end project or a backend project. This makes them understand the process thoroughly.
Are Indian colleges offering the right kind of education that make the candidates industry-ready?
Not really. That is why the industry is coming forward to provide students the right kind of tools and setting up labs so that they can have a hands-on experience of the EDA tools. For example: ST Microelectronics came up with idea to improve the situation in the engineering colleges that we hire from. We jointly approached IIT Delhi and told them that we want to run certain programs for the seventh semester and eighth semester students. We started running programs and courses for these students, which enabled students to do projects. At this stage in the engineering courses, students are expected to do projects which should be industry-worthy. This makes the students ready with minimum requirement of understanding the processes required to make them employable in companies like ours.
So does that mean students need additional training to make a career in EDA apart from what they are taught during their engineering?
Yes. Many of the EDA vendors like Mentor Graphics have also partnered with certain finishing schools like RV VLSI training institute, Sandeepani, Veda IIT. There are partnerships by the EDA vendors where we have donated tools to these training institutes. Students after finishing their courses go to these training institutes and learn the semiconductor processes. These are the likes of NIIT and Aptech that are teaching the software part of it. So even though the engineers learn computer engineering in the engineering colleges, they still come out and do some training from these institutions. Similarly in our space, there are companies like RV VLSI and Sandeepani. Most of the engineers undergo a diploma program of 3-4 months after their degree and then get equipped in the VLSI and semiconductor flow. Then they are ready to be acquired by or hired by VLSI companies like Wipro, HCL, Qualcomm, etc.
These are industry initiatives. Does that mean that colleges of the likes of IIT Delhi are not able to provide the right kind of course to make the students industry ready?
The courses are available in these institutes like in electrical stream, electronics stream or computer science stream. But the problem is the dearth of good teachers. We need teachers who can teach newer concepts in the area of digital electronics and analogue devices. There should also be adequate amount of projects so that students can get hands-on training on the job. But the combination of good teachers and projects doesn't come up so easily. Hence an industry participation is required. It is a mutual win-win kind of a situation. Our association with ST Microelectronics is just a tip of the ice berg. I am sure there are other initiatives as well. India has hundreds of engineering colleges and we have to replicate this model in other colleges too so that students get interested. The scale of job opportunities is very small for EDA engineers as compared to an normal information technology domain. We cannot hire in such big numbers. So what happens is, from the campus' standpoint, it is IT companies like Wipro and Infosys are more important as they go for bulk hiring. So the students get lured to doing what is required to get a job. What we have to do is to educate the students about VLSI and semiconductor reaching out to them in their campuses and tell them about technology that is happening. So, these initiatives are important for hiring the right kind of talent. Things have started picking up for the electronics industry as because of these initiatives.
What kind of packages are offered to EDA engineers?
An initial package offered to an EDA engineer is pretty good as compared to a normal IT company. Its almost double. It is around Rs 6-9 per annum. This industry offers immense growth as well. Average growth in their annual CTC is much higher than other related ecosystem. The only issue is the scalability in the number of jobs compared to the other IT jobs. That is why lesser number of students get attracted. If you talk about a Tier I engineering college, it has about 50 students averagely in electrical, electronics and IT streams, which means 150 students passing out each year. Not all of them can be consumed by EDA, VLSI or semiconductor companies. The rest would go to IT companies. So its actually the question of scalability as far as this industry is concerned. But recently a shift has been seen where people are aspiring for jobs in the EDA domain.
What is the growth prospect for a candidate who joins this career option?
Multiple! Somebody who comes as an applications engineer, goes through the learning process for a year. Post this process, the candidates can branch out. They can either be in front end domain and back end domain. They can continue to work in that domain and get growth within the company itself. From an engineer they can become a senior engineer, technical lead, manager and so on. Then there are opportunities for them to get into embedded space, or work as a design engineer. An Applications Engineer has a distinct advantage than a design engineer because he has to address the problems of design engineers. So the opportunities are immense at this point in time after going through one year of training programme.
What are the kind of increments one can expect in this industry?
It's better than many other industries. On an average, an yearly salary hike of 10-12 per cent is offered to EDA engineers. It's because these engineers primarily deal with high-end technology job. So to retain them is a challenge for the companies. Engineers who are doing high-end jobs are obviously technically very competent and on the same lines of their counterparts working in Europe and US, they need to be compensated equally if not more. It is all about capabilities in this industry. Someone involved in high-end technical job would get a better increment than who does a technically soft job. Someone who is doing back-end, which is much more technical in nature, is likely to get even higher percentage of increment because there is dearth of people who do good backend job.
What are the kind of industries where an EDA engineer can venture into?
EDA companies - Mentor Graphics, Synopsys, Cadence
Semiconductor companies STMicroelectronics, Infineon, NXP, Qualcomm, etc
Electronics System companies (which do system design, PCB design) : Freescale, STMicro, NXP
Automotive companies: Samsung, LG, Hyundai
Telecom companies: Huawei, ZTE, Samsung, LG
Consumer electronics companies: Samsung, LG, Whirpool, Voltas, Godrej
There is also space for mechanical engineers in designing of EDA tools. Mentor has tools in the automotive space where we need mechanical engineers to work with us. In system design, there is an Electronic CAD/CAM vs Mechanical CAD/CAM. So a lot of interaction happens between the two. There is a lot of Mechanical CAD being used in an automobile company. So a mechanical CAD solution and an electronic CAD solution should talk to each other. So we require a lot of mechanical engineers.
Can we say that the demand for EDA engineers in India is increasing?
Yes, clearly. We are seeing a larger number of students who are interested in EDA. One major reason for it is that now-a-days there are facilities available for the students to have a hands-on experience, there are Industry and university partnerships happening, faculties include people from the industry, projects are available and then there are programs like Mentor Graphics donates tools and companies run design contests. Mentor conducts a nationwide design contest to excite the students to use EDA tools and come out with designs. Yearly, we get around 200 participants. This is done to motivate the engineers come in this domain.
Is there any aspect where EDA engineers in India lack behind?
I don't say it's lacking behind kind of a scenario but I think there has to be focus of getting into electronics. There is a bit of laziness crept in because of IT companies coming in big numbers and taking students. So we would want that some of these who really have a passion to work in electronics should focus on certain subjects that I spoke of, should master them because if we look at the students who have really gone deep, we appreciate those students. What we see students doing these days is once they secure a job in an IT company, they try to look for electronics which doesn't work very well. One has to have a basic understanding of core electronics. If they have a job in hand, they tend to lose the thrill about an electronics job.

An Indiana prosecutor and Republican activist has resigned after emails show he suggested Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker stage a fake attack on himself to discredit unions protesting his budget repair bill.
The Republican governor signed a bill on March 11 that eliminates most union rights for public employees.
In an email from February 19, Indiana deputy prosecutor Carlos F. Lam told Walker the situation presented "a good opportunity for what's called a 'false flag' operation."
The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism discovered the email among tens of thousands released to the public last week following a lawsuit by the Isthmus and the Associated Press.
"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions," Lam said in his email.
"Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC and umbrella union organizations in the protest," he continued. "Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions."
Lam resigned from his position after the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism published an article about his email.
On February 22, an alternative paper in Buffalo, New York managed to trick Walker into taking a call from their editor posing as tea party tycoon David Koch.
When the editor posing as Koch suggested planting some troublemakers in the protests, Walker responded that "we thought about that," but said it was not necessary "because sooner or later the media stops finding 'em interesting."
"My only fear would be is if there was a ruckus caused is that that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has gotta settle to avoid all these problems," he said.…Continue reading

By the Bradley Manning Support Network
Published at Couragetoresist.org
Hundreds of thousands of individuals globally celebrate today the confirmation that their efforts to end the torturous pre-trial confinement conditions inflicted upon US Army PFC Bradley Manning have been successful. Manning's lead defense attorney, David E. Coombs of Rhode Island, has personally verified that Manning is indeed being held in Medium Custody confinement at the Joint Regional Corrections Facility (JRCF) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as claimed by the Army last week.
"We won this battle because 600,000 individuals took the time to write letters and sign petitions, because thousands called the White House switchboard, because 300 of America's top legal scholars decried Bradley's pre-trial conditions as a clear violation of our Constitution's 5th and 8th Amendments," declared Jeff Paterson of Courage to Resist and the Bradley Manning Support Network. "We won this battle because over a hundred concerned citizens engaged in civil disobedience at the White House and at Quantico, and because our grassroots campaign shows no sign of slowing."
These new conditions reflect a dramatic improvement for Manning following his transfer to Fort Leavenworth on April 20, 2011, after having suffered extreme solitary-like confinement at US Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. During the nine months at Quantico, Manning was denied meaningful exercise, social interaction, sunlight, and was at times kept completely naked. These conditions were unique to Manning and were illegal under US… Continue reading

Indignities experienced by me and my co-guests on "The Audacity of Hope," the American boat to Gaza, over the past ten days in Athens leave no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama's administration has forfeited the right to claim any lineage to the brave Americans who declared independence from the king of England 235 years ago.
In the Declaration of Independence, they pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to a new enterprise of freedom, democracy and the human spirit. The outcome was far from assured; likely as not, the hangman's noose awaited them. They knew that all too well.
But they had a genuine audacity to hope that the majority of their countrymen and women, persuaded by Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the elegant words of Thomas Jefferson, would conclude that the goal of liberty and freedom was worth the risk, that it was worth whatever the cost.
These days we have been seduced into thinking that such principles have become "quaint"… Continue reading
One lawyer's relentless quest for information reveals fresh hints of a coverup.
By James Ridgeway
July 21, 2011
In 2007, Mother Jones was the first national media outlet to tell the full story of Jesse Trentadue and his quest for the truth, which began four months after the attack on Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, killed 168 people. It was then that Trentadue, a Salt Lake City lawyer, learned that his brother, a construction worker and one-time bank robber, had died in a federal prison in Oklahoma City. [Photo: Timothy McVeigh is escorted from the courthouse in Perry, Oklahoma. Bob Owen/Zuma]
Prison officials said the prisoner had hanged himself. But Kenney Trentadue, who had never revealed any suicidal inclination, was shipped home for burial with bruises all over his body and lacerations on his face and throat–suggesting something more sinister. Even Oklahoma City's chief medical examiner would later say, publicly, that it was "very likely he was murdered." But the most compelling evidence in the case was altered or turned up missing. Jesse Trentadue was never able to prove what had actually happened to his brother–though he did win a $1.1 million civil suit for "emotional distress" to his family, based on the way the government had handled the aftermath of Kenney's death.
Trentadue had all but given up, when, in the spring of 2003, he got a call from a small-town newspaper reporter in Oklahoma named… Continue reading

Photo (left): Jay Finneburgh / AP — Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen lays on the ground bleeding from a head wound after being struck by a projectile during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland, Calif. Olsen suffered a fractured skull while marching with other protesters attempting to reestablish a presence in the area of the disbanded camp, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. Police Chief Howard Jordan says an internal review board and local prosecutors have been asked to determine if officers on the scene used excessive force.
OAKLAND — Scott Olsen, a 24-year-old Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, stood calmly in front of a police line as tear gas canisters that officers shot into the Occupy Oakland protest Tuesday night whizzed past his head.
"He was standing perfectly still, provoking no one," said Raleigh Latham, an Oakland filmmaker shooting footage of the confrontation between police and hundreds of protesters at 14th Street and Broadway. "If something didn't hit him directly in the face, then it went off close to his head and knocked him down."
The something was a projectile that apparently came from police lines, fractured Olsen's skull and put him in Highland General Hospital. Doctors upgraded his condition Thursday from critical to fair, and said they expect him to make a full recovery.
His parents flew in from Wisconsin and spent Thursday at his bedside.… Continue reading

Chicago police on Monday issued citations to 43 senior citizens and their supporters who linked arms to block an intersection near the city's financial district.
The action was part of a protest against proposed cuts to Social Security, Medicare and other benefits.
The Jane Addams Senior Caucus (JASC), their supporters and "Occupy Chicago" began the demonstration with a rally outside the office of Illinois Sens. Mark Kirk (R) and Dick Durbin (D). The group, which organizers claimed was nearly 1,500-strong, then marched to the Federal Plaza.
Traffic at the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Clark Street was blocked for about an hour, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"At every level of society, Americans are under attack," said Karen Bocker, an "Occupy Chicago" participant and grandmother of four.
"When the economy tanks, social programs are cut, not corporate tax breaks. We are under attack, and frankly, I'm tired of it. The very people who are hurt most from cuts to social services — services that our tax money are supposed to guarantee — are those who can least afford it."
The protesters were joined by Durbin, and Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D), Danny Davis (D), and Mike Quigley (D) in the morning.

The FBI is instructing local police departments and "communities against terrorism" to consider anyone who harbors "conspiracy theories" about 9/11 to be a potential terrorist, in a circular released to local police departments.
The memo thus adds 9/11-official-story skeptics to a growing list of targets described by federal law enforcement to be security threats, such as those who express "libertarian philosophies," "Second Amendment-oriented views," interest in "self-sufficiency," "fears of Big Brother or big government," and "Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties."
A newly released national poll shows that 48 percent of Americans either have some doubts about the official account of 9/11, or do not believe it at all.
The FBI circular entitled "Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Sleepers" says that people who should be 'considered suspicious' of possible involvement in "terrorist activity" include those who hold the "attitude" described as " Conspiracy theories about Westerners." The circular continues: "e.g. (sic) the CIA arranged for 9/11 to legitimize the invasion of foreign lands."
"Sleepers" refers to "sleeper cells," in FBI jargon, which are terrorists awaiting orders to be activated into terrorist activity.
In 1998 it was declassified by the Pentagon that the Joint Chiefs of… Continue reading

The National Security Agency advised its officials to cite the 9/11 attacks as justification for its mass surveillance activities, according to a master list of NSA talking points.
The document, obtained by Al Jazeera through a Freedom of Information Act request, contains talking points and suggested statements for NSA officials (PDF) responding to the fallout from media revelations that originated with former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Invoking the events of 9/11 to justify the controversial NSA programs, which have caused major diplomatic fallout around the world, was the top item on the talking points that agency officials were encouraged to use.
Under the subheading "Sound Bites That Resonate," the document suggests the statement "I much prefer to be here today explaining these programs, than explaining another 9/11 event that we were not able to prevent."
NSA head Gen. Keith Alexander used a slightly different version of that statement when he testified before Congress on June 18 in defense of the agency's surveillance programs.
Asked to comment on the document, NSA media representative Vanee M. Vines pointed Al Jazeera to Alexander's congressional testimony on Tuesday, and said the agency had no further comment. In keeping with the themes listed in the talking points, the NSA head told legislators that "it is much more important for this country that we defend this nation and take the beatings than it is… Continue reading
Witness Iraq has brought a lawsuit against key members of the Bush Administration: George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney, Donald H. Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell and Paul Wolfowitz.
In Saleh v. Bush, plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh alleges that the Iraq War was a premeditated war against the Iraqi people, the planning of which started in 1998. The war was not conducted in self-defense, did not have the appropriate authorization by the United Nations, and under international law constituted a "crime of aggression" — a crime first set down at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II.

Last summer, Inder Comar, Esq. filed a lawsuit against the Bush Administration on behalf of Iraqi refugee plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh. It is a noble attempt to hold the Bush Administration accountable for war crimes and a case that Quiet Mike has been following from the beginning.
Earlier this year, the Department of Justice, who is defending the six Bush Administration officials, responded to the lawsuit by requesting that the case be dismissed. The Bush tribe is claiming that the planning of the war occurred within the scope of their employment and therefore they have immunity.
Rather than dismissing the case, the Judge asked for additional information. So Mr. Comar… Continue reading

ATLANTA (AP) -- The FBI says a Georgia man fled the state last week with his three young children and sent a letter to his father stating that he was going to kill them.
Eddie Harrington has been missing from the Columbus area since at least March 6th, when authorities in Tennessee issued a child abduction alert after he may have been spotted there.
FBI agent Stephen Emmett says the 28-year-old Harrington is believed to be traveling with his twin 23-month-old girls, Aliyah and Agana Battle, and his three-year-old son, Cedric Harrington.
Columbus police issued a felony child endangerment warrant for Harrington. Yesterday, the FBI issued a federal unlawful flight to avoid prosecution warrant.
An FBI advisory says Harrington has connections to the Indianapolis area and is believed to be headed there.
Harrington is believed to be driving a 2002 Chevrolet Impala with Indiana tags.
Emmett said he doesn't know what sparked Harrington's decision to flee with his children.

The report from a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Workshop on priorities for clinical research in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in December 2003 recommended clinical trials for evaluation of blood pressure (BP) management in acute ICH as a leading priority. The Special Writing Group of the Stroke Council of the American Heart Association in 1999 and 2007 emphasized the need for clinical trials to ensure evidence-based treatment of acute hypertension in ICH. Consequently, we propose to conduct a five-year international, multicenter, open-labeled, randomized, controlled, Phase III trial to determine the efficacy of early, intensive antihypertensive treatment using intravenous nicardipine for acute hypertension in subjects with co-morbid hypertension and spontaneous supratentorial ICH. The primary hypothesis of this large, streamlined, focused trial is that the group treated with intensive BP reduction (systolic BP [SBP] of 140 mmHg or less - hereafter referred to as the intensive treatment) using intravenous nicardipine infusion for 24 hours reduces the proportion of death and disability at 3 months by 10% or greater compared with the group treated with the standard BP reduction (SBP of 180 mmHg or less - hereafter referred to as the standard treatment) among patients with ICH treated within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. The underlying mechanism for this expected beneficial effect of intensive treatment is mediated through reduction of the rate and magnitude of hematoma expansion observed in approximately 38% of patients with acute ICH. The trial will recruit a maximum of 1,280 subjects with ICH who meet the eligibility criteria. The primary outcome is the proportion of death and disability at 3 months defined by modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 4 to 6. The proposed clinical trial is the natural extension of numerous case series, a subsequent pilot trial funded by the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Health (NIH), and a preliminary randomized controlled trial in this patient group funded by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, that have recently confirmed the safety and tolerability of both the regimen and goals of the antihypertensive treatment in acutely hypertensive patients with ICH proposed in the present trial. The proposed trial will have important public health implications by providing necessary information regarding the efficacy and safety of antihypertensive treatment of acute hypertension observed in up to 75% of the subjects with ICH. BP treatment represents a strategy that can be made widely available without the need of specialized equipment and personnel and therefore can make a major impact upon outcome in patients with ICH. Substantial reduction in morbidity and mortality appears possible if the estimates of treatment effect sizes from our current pilot trials are accurate.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 years or older
- IV nicardipine can be initiated within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
- Clinical signs consistent with the diagnosis of stroke, including impairment of language, motor function, cognition, and/or gaze, vision, or neglect.
- Total Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score (aggregate of verbal, eye, and motor response scores) of 5 or greater at time of emergency department (ED) arrival.
- International normalized ratio (INR) value < 1.5
- CT scan demonstrates intraparenchymal hematoma with manual hematoma volume measurement <60 cc.
- For subjects randomized prior to IV antihypertensive administration: SBP greater than 180 mmHg* prior to IV antihypertensive treatment (this includes pre-hospital treatment) AND WITHOUT spontaneous SBP reduction to below 180 mmHg at the time of randomization OR
- For subjects randomized after IV antihypertensive administration: SBP greater than 180 mmHg* prior to IV antihypertensive treatment (this includes pre-hospital treatment) AND WITHOUT SBP reduction to below 140 mmHg at the time of randomization.
- Informed consent obtained by subject, legally authorized representative, or next of kin.
- Note: Patients with SBP < 180mmHg should be monitored for 4.5 hours from symptom onset as their SBP may rise to eligible levels before the eligibility window closes.
Exclusion Criteria:
- ICH is due to previously known neoplasms, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or aneurysms.
- Intracerebral hematoma considered to be related to trauma.
- ICH located in infratentorial regions such as pons or cerebellum.
- Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) associated with intraparenchymal hemorrhage and blood completely fills one lateral ventricle or more than half of both ventricles.
- Patient to receive immediate surgical evacuation.
- Current pregnancy, or parturition within previous 30 days, or active lactation.
- Use of dabigatran within the last 48 hours.
- A platelet count less than 50,000mm3
- Known sensitivity to nicardipine.
- Pre-morbid disability requiring assistance in ambulation or activities of daily living.
- Subject's living will precludes aggressive ICU management.
- Subject is currently participating in another interventional clinical trial

Love this jersey. Looks and fits awesome!
I love this jersey. I got the orange and black version in a size small. I'd say it fits like an XS in other brands but it's perfect on me. I got lots of compliments on it during the last race I wore it to. Everyone kept referring to me as "Masher" which is what's printed on the back pockets, but that's ok. Was a good nickname until I hit a rest stop and had a chance to talk to people.

This was a present for my size 16 sister who is sick of tiny little jerseys for midget poodles. She loves it because it has all the features of a cycling jersey without the anorexia. She said the orange colour stood out really well when riding on the road. She also loves the design as it fits in with her mountainbiking alter-ego.

This article is part II of "A new Lunar thermal model based on Finite Element Analysis of regolith physical properties", written primarily by gallopingcamel (Peter Morcombe), edited and prepared for WordPress by Tim Channon.
Modeling the Moon
A few months ago an analysis of the Moon's equatorial temperature was posted here using two different types of engineering software. Tim Channon used SPICE circuit analysis software originally developed at Berkeley while I used Quickfield, a finite element analysis program developed by Tor Cooperative, a Russian firm, marketed outside Russia by Tera Analysis. In addition, several detailed comments were received from "br" who used LTSPICE from Linear Technology Inc.
Two very different methods. The results were identical.
Both Quickfield (in Student edition) and LTSPICE are freely available for download for those interested in replication or for further investigation.

Your next fridge could keep cold more efficiently using magnets
The fridge is the most common of common household appliances. Despite improvements in efficiency over the years, they remain one of the biggest users of electricity in the home, relying on chemical refrigerant and a compressor to transfer heat from the inside to the outside of the fridge. GE researchers have now developed a new type of refrigeration technology using magnets that is more environmentally friendly and is predicted to be 20 to 30 percent more efficient that current technology ... and it could be in household fridges by the end of the decade.

When someone has a heart attack, it's crucial that they receive treatment as soon as possible. Emergency medical technicians, however, are limited in how detailed of an on-the-spot diagnosis they can make of a patient's condition. This means that actual treatment often has to wait until they get the patient to a hospital. That could be changing, however, as a scientist with GE Global Research is now looking into the use of "microbubbles" as a mobile means of imaging the heart and possibly even treating it. Read More
The hottest jet engine ever guzzles less gas
Engineers at GE think they could have a revolution on their hands, thanks to the new jet engine they've been working with that runs hotter than any of its predecessors. When combined with some other design changes, they figure their so-called ADVENT (short for ADaptive Versatile ENgine Technology) design could improve fuel efficiency by as much as 25 percent, extend flying ranges by 30 percent, and boost thrust up to 10 percent over contemporary engines.

GE developing robotic system for hospitals
Presently, when an operation is going to be performed at a hospital, people first locate all the instruments that the surgeon will require, inspect them, arrange them on a tray, sterilize them, and then deliver them to the operating room. According to General Electric's GE Global Research division, however, robots could do all of those things better. To that end, the group has recently partnered with GE Healthcare and the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, in a US$2.5 million two-year project to develop just such robots. Read More

GE Silent Scan turns down the volume on MRI scanners
GE Healthcare has introduced a new data acquisition technology designed to improve patient comfort by largely eliminating the horrible noise generated during an MRI scan. Conventional MRI scanners can generate noise levels in excess of 110 dBA (creating a din that sounds like a cross between a vehicle's reverse warning horn and a Star Trek phaser) but GE says its new Silent Scan MRI technology can reduce this to just above background noise levels in the exam room.

GE unveils Durathon battery for zero-emission buses
General Electric's research team has unveiled its new Durathon battery, which the company says makes it cheaper to power buses using clean energy.

How to make homemade story stones for story-telling & imaginative play:
When I first learned about story stones, I knew I had to make them. See, I love making homemade toys, and the hooligans LOVE playing with stones! We have a huge collection of rocks and stones that we use for all kinds of activities! love finding new ways to turn every day items, found in nature, into cool things that we can play with, like our domino stones, letter stones and tic-tac-toe stones. As you can imagine, I was positively drooling when I saw some gorgeous story stones over at Pre-School Play the other day.
The Hooligans are off for summer break until September, and I thought about holding off, and making these story stones, when they return, but I've been seeing these stones everywhere, and can't get them off my mind.
At the beginning of summer, my boys and I went to the beach, and collected a bucket of smooth rocks. We brought them home, washed them up and stashed them away for a project just like this. Yesterday was gorgeous here, and I had nothing pressing to do, so I set myself up under the trees in the back yard, and got to work making a set of story stones for the daycare.
How I made our story stones:
I started with some scraps of quilting fabric, and cut out some animal shapes, but I didn't have as much as I'd hoped, so I turned to some magazines, and cut out a few more things. Then, I stumbled across a couple of craft books that I'd picked up at a thrift shop a while back. BINGO!!
The books were intended for a stained glass-painting type of craft, but the paints didn't come with them. I'd just thought the pictures inside might come in handy one day. They were perfect for this project!!
To make your story stones, put a puddle of mod podge on a stone, and then place the cut-out in the puddle, and use your fingers to smooth out any air bubbles. With a sponge brush, smooth and dab a little modge-podge over the cut-out, pressing around the edges with your fingers, to get a good seal between the paper and the stone.
The quilt fabric was the easiest to work with because the material was thin and flimsy, and molded to the rock easily. The magazine pictures worked well too, because of their thinness. The craft book cut-outs were quite a bit thicker (similar to glossy card-stock), and required more pressing and smoothing, but they turned out great!
I'm thinking an even easier way to make these, if you didn't want to go to the trouble of modge-podging, would be to simply apply assorted stickers to your stones, and then give them a coat of varnish for protection.
Story stones provide a super opportunity for imaginative play, and there's some great sensory stuff going on too: the colours are vibrant, they're cool to the touch, and for me there's something soothing about the sound of stones clacking together as you play with them.
Look at them! Aren't they cute? I'm so pleased with the way they turned out. I can't wait for the Hooligans to discover them!

Sparkle with Diamond Fusion
Do you love a round diamond for its classic style and high-wattage sparkle? Or do you love a cushion-cut for its unique shape and old world elegance? Now, we always say that "diamonds go with diamonds" and we support the love for BOTH diamond shapes equally. From a style perspective, there's no longer any need to choose between these two lovely options, when Tacori has created the ultimate diamond-fusion engagement ring. In this unique setting, Tacori takes a mega-brilliant round diamond as the hero, and nestles in within a cushion-shaped halo of diamond enhancers. With double-split platinum prongs that virtually melt into the setting, the diamonds in the cushion setting shine as a spotlight onto the round center stone to create a showstopping sparkler. A beautiful juxtaposition of modern, yet traditional; classic, yet unconventional, you get the fire and scintillation of a round brilliant, in addition to the depth and dimension of a cushion shape. The best of both worlds shine in this fresh take on a classic diamond engagement ring.

Yes, you read that right! My body has been rearranging itself... I am staying in my range for weight... but things seem to be shifting somewhat. I was wearing some size 8 jeans today and noticed that I could pull them down over my hips without unbuttoning them, which has been a sign of needing smaller pants throughout this process...
So I was out shopping and came across a cute pair of capris in size 6 on sale for $5 @ Old Navy... and just for vanity decided to try them on... THEY FIT! This is very exciting. I also picked up a T-shirt that says "Vote Now" for $2... that was perfect for my Obama canvassing this evening.
My day turned out to be not quite as busy as originally thought... my recycled papermaking class was cancelled due to too few students... oh well. But I did go to the Farmer's Market with a friend to get the prizes for our Local Food Issues Challenges winners... that was really fun. We got: 2.5# of apples, a bottle of honey, honeycomb, 4 lbs of black walnuts, locally made whole wheat pizza crust, locally produced goat cheese spread, a jar of lime pickles, a butternut squash, fresh made pasta, and one more thing that I can't think of...
Then I went shopping at our local Linens N Things since they are having a big going out of business sale. I got a George Foreman Grill with removable plates and some bedding for the kids and just took care of some household needs like a new nylon spaghetti grabber... and a storage ottoman for me.
Old Navy was after that.
After canvassing for Obama this evening, I went to the evil that is Wally World...
I have just been out spreading the wealth today... sigh. I'm exhausted, but it was a nice day.
Today is also Miss M's birthday, but she was staying with a friend since she worked the haunted house last night and tonight (the last night). She has about worn herself out doing this every night for the last week and a half. Tomorrow we will celebrate, she wants to go to Olive Garden. I also got her birthday presents: a down throw with matching slippers, pretty pair of earrings & jammie pants with a Halloween motif. I'm baking her cake tomorrow, marbled with chocolate icing and Halloween sprinkles.
I celebrated Halloween by going for a fabulous 4.3 mile run this evening. Weather here in mid-Missouri is just gorgeous this Halloween... I know that evenings like this will be gone really soon due to the arrival of winter weather and daylight savings time.
I started out by deciding I would run 10 minutes and walk 5 minutes. Then I changed my mind and decided I would run for 15 minutes straight. Then I decided I would run for 20 minutes. Then I changed my mind yet again and decided I would run for 30 minutes straight. Then I decided to go for 35 minutes. Then I decided I wanted to run for 44 minutes straight... the entire time I planned to be out.
I made it! I ran the entire 44 minutes plus about one! I am so excited and proud of it! I ran 4.3232 miles total without stopping! After awhile I really just got into the swing of things and it just felt incredible... I think I experienced the proverbial "runner's high".
One neighbor said, "I like your costume!" (I was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt and denim shorts... I answered, "I was a couch potato last year."
Then I came across several little girls trick or treating, all dressed as the undead (white make-up with blood trickling)... and I said, "Excuse me undead ones." Then they all ran with me to the next house...
Near the end of my run I felt incredible, physically and mentally.
Last Halloween I was an athlete cleverly disguised as a couch potato, this year I'm a couch potato cleverly disguised as an athlete! What an amazing year's difference.
I have also been thinking about my mom a lot lately. She loved the holidays, from Halloween to New Year's. She always made costumes for us... and good ones. My favorite was 2nd grade when she managed to make me into the milk carton as I requested. That is probably my most memorable costume... I just wish that pictures had been taken.
One of her triumphs turned my brother into a generic Arab. She percolated on it for awhile and tricked me out in the crazy get up and sent me down to show my brother, who was in a decidedly sour mood downstairs on the couch. I came traipsing down the stairs and his bad mood was OVER! He fell off the couch in tears, hollering, "God you look funny!" (I was wearing a brightly striped zip up bathrobe, a striped pillowcase tied down with one of her bright headscarves and a pair of nose and glasses.) To add to the fun, my brother, dad, mom and I all donned the get up and had our pictures taken so Matt could have a family album...
Another Halloween triumph of hers was turning Matt into a half cheerleader/half football player. He went to his fiancee's house and turned the cheerleader side to the door and was not recognized by his father in law to be.
I've included an image of her and a mural she painted after she had a stroke and broken hip on her backyard shed. It appeared about 3 months before she passed away and really help me reconnect with her.
I just got an e-mail telling me I've become a SP Motivator.
I'm really touched.
Thanks everyone.
It's been almost 10 days since my last entry... I can't believe that. I have been still tracking food & exercise, but not spending so much time doing SparkTeams and stuff. This coming Sunday will mark 2 months in maintenance.
It was kinda scary, but yesterday my weight dropped down to 144.8, lower than my range. I am really comfy where I am in the 145 to 150 range. I don't want to get out of this range.
I'm on another exercise streak... I'm up to 66 days. But I'm starting to think that I need a day off soon. So I just need to hit my weekly calorie burn a day early and let myself have a day off. I just have the fear that one day off will turn into another and then another and another. Lately, my body just compels me to get up and do SOMETHING... it WANTS to move. It's used to exercise, it craves exercise, so I exercise. However, I've found that an easy walk for an hour makes my body happy too. I just don't have to push it hard every day.
This is shaping up to be another busy week... tonight we watch Biggest Loser (can't miss our favorite show)... I have choir practice on Wednesday night... Thursday is my long work day and then I'm planning on going to the Obama rally in my town, which starts at 9:30 pm... Friday is normal... Saturday is loaded: Farmer's Market @ 8 am, teach PaperMaking from 10-12, volunteer for the Obama campaign from 5pm to 9 pm. Sunday is church and volunteering in the preschool room for Sunday School. Then I rest that afternoon and celebrate my little girl's 17th birthday.
I really can't wait until the 7th of November! I work a half day and then I'm headed to Chicago for a long weekend with one of my best buds! We are planning to go to the Art Institute and Navy Pier. I would have opted for the Museum of Science & Industry, but I've been there before too... and the Art Institute has some interesting exhibits this time 'round. Anybody know of any good places to eat in Chicago?
The 3rd weekend in November, we are making tentative plans to go to ShawnCon (gaming convention) in Kansas City and hang with some friends and go out to eat with them.
In the meantime I have too many UFOs on my knitting needles (UnFinished Objects) and too much unspun fiber!
Went out to lunch with hubby & son... had my favorite pizza ( www.imospizza.com ). It's St. Louis Style pizza and is a creature unto itself... Domino's did St. Louis style pizza for a short time a few years ago... but it wasn't the REAL thing (Cecil Whitakers/Imo's).
If you don't know what St. Louis style pizza is... well, the crust is VERY thin, like 2/10 of an inch and very crunchy. There is a thin layer of sauce and toppings put on top of that. Then there is the cheese... provel cheese ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis-style_pizza ). It's a blend of cheddar, swiss and provolone... and you know it's provel when it sticks to the back of your upper front teeth! It's also GREAT on salad.
So we had a very nice lunch of pizza, salad & cheese garlic bread. I didn't get the toasted ravioli since it's deep fried and I didn't want to gorge out.
This afternoon, we watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6 on DVD and then I went out to run. I walked 5 minutes before and after a 30 minute straight run @ 6.16 mph! I ran just .02 miles short of 5 kilometers! I just kind of got out there and kept going... and I was fighting myself to go out and run... but the day was soooooo pretty... in the 60s and sunny with the bluest of blue skies.
I almost doubled up on my calorie burn and exercise minute goals last week! That's pretty exciting! I don't know if I will do that well this next week, but I can always try!! It's been great to really get my body moving more after such a slow September.
Yesterday was actually a fun challenge. I ended up at the Food Bank for about 2.75 hours. We were repackaging cracker meal for distribution to families. I worked with the Garden Coalition helping to move a couple of compost bins for 1.5 hours yesterday afternoon. I got my workout with those tasks... hauling boxes, scooping cracker meal, digging in the dirt and pulling weeds and whacking at small trees! The wedding was lovely and I am very happy for the bride & groom, they really are a match! And funny coincidence is that I worked with the bride at the health department and it turns out that the groom's aunt and I are friends that go back a long way.... it was so good to see W... and even funnier is that I was talking to a mutual friend at church about W just last week.
As we get deeper into fall, I am noticing that I just can't seem to get enough to eat. I do this every year as the weather gets colder, I think it's just a natural part of the survival mechanism that the human body is programmed to do. I am just hungry all the time and I want to eat and eat and eat. I have eaten almost 2100 calories today and my stomach is growling AGAIN!
Something bittersweet from yesterday too... I was putting on make up before going to the wedding and I got a look at my jawline in the mirror at the same angle I used to see my mom's. My jawline is exactly the same as my mom's. I never thought I looked much like her or that I was particularly pretty. I like the pic there from last night's wedding, I feel pretty now.
Oh well, I'm just rambling... Annie, there's the pic you demanded!!
