Design tools
July 17, 2009 by John Day
Electronic application development work continues despite dire conditions in the auto industry and, arguably now more than ever, engineers need robust tools to help them deliver quality work in less time. Tool vendors are responding by providing links to complementary products, leveraging "ecosystems," and customizing solutions for large customers. Some vendors have expanded their portfolios to the extent that some developers are opting to standardize.
"The auto industry is a mess right now," remarked Frank Schirrmeister, director of product marketing for system-level solutions at Synopsys Inc. "Application developers are contending with conflicting tradeoffs between cost reduction and the need to add features and functionality to differentiate new vehicles from competition."
One way that automakers are dealing with that dilemma is to use generic hardware for its cost advantage and rely on software for differentiation. "Developers need effective tools for hardware verification, and they must be able to simulate software early in the development process," Schirrmeister said. Synopsys' Saber system reduces overall development time by facilitating software development on a virtual electronic control unit.
"Providing engineers with tools to help them do their respective jobs is an important goal. There are 'point tools' in existing development processes, but the critical value to the customer comes from integrating key process steps and the tools used in those steps. That is often what leads to reduced development time, better ability to deal with changing requirements, more reuse of components, and not doing the same thing twice," said Jon Friedman, automotive marketing manager at The MathWorks.
Friedman said The MathWorks offers link products that enable engineers to move smoothly between different stages of their work, even when different tools are involved. "For example, it is important for engineers to be able to trace their design back to the requirement that drove the implementation. We provide a link to requirements tools such as (Telelogic) DOORS, (Microsoft) Word and Excel, and (Adobe Systems) PDF through the Requirements Management Interface, which is part of our Simulink V&V (verification and validation) product. This link allows the engineers bi-directional traceability from requirements to model and from model back to requirements," Friedman explained.
"Reports indicate that up to 70% of project defects are attributed to requirements management and traceability," added John Greenland, vice president of business development at LDRA Technology, Inc. LDRA's TBreq automates the traceability of software requirements through all phases of development, enabling developers to reduce software errors, project costs and resource constraints.
"By linking with a requirements database in DOORS, Word, Excel, or PDF format, LDRA's TBreq creates a relationship between requirements, code modules, and verification artifacts such as static analysis, dynamic analysis, and unit and system level test to make them visible across a network of user workspaces. Changes and test results are recorded, and any requirements impacted by these changes are highlighted so that all team members can identify data which might be suspect," Greenland said.
Time saving
ETAS has developed technology based on XCP to connect its INCA measurement and calibration (MC) tool to The MathWorks' SimuLink modeling tool so that INCA users can calibrate SimuLink models interactively. "Developers frequently want to reuse the calibrations from series production when starting development on a new program," noted David Howarth, ETAS director of marketing. "They need a way to pull in the ECU production calibrations without having to reenter them by hand."
Another link, also using XCP, speeds up dynamometer test time. "A user can connect dyno test control or calibration optimization software such as AVL CAMEO or PUMA to ETAS hardware," Howarth said. "The ETAS ES910 can execute highly optimized ECU operations under the overall control of the test control software, which significantly increases the speed of the tests and reduces overall dyno test time."
Automakers' development teams are smaller these days but the pressure on developers to produce is as great as ever, if not greater, and design tools play an increasingly valuable role, according to John Carbone, vice president of marketing at Express Logic.
Carbone's firm has integrated two time-saving design aids with BenchX, its Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for embedded systems. TraceX gives developers a graphical view of interrupts, context-switches, and other real-time system events so the engineers can pinpoint the timing of event occurrences and quickly see unexpected behavior. StackX performs a comprehensive analysis of a complete application at the executable code level, computing worst-case stack usage for accurate memory allocation.
The latest version (2.1) of Vector CANtech's CANoe/MATLAB Interface is said to simplify data exchange between the two tools. The interface is signal-oriented, thus users do not have to adapt models to CAN, LIN or FlexRay bus systems. Real-time hardware in the loop (HIL) simulations can be implemented by linking CANoe and MATLAB directly. The Simulink Model Viewer integrated in CANoe gives users a detailed look at the MATLAB/Simulink simulation node models and enables direct access to internal model parameters.
Model-based design
"There is increasing movement from traditional design processes – try something and see how it works, or ad hoc design – to model-based design," said Vector CANtech PND product line manager Rick Lotoczky. "We have tools that support that kind of development. We can help companies generate models automatically to allow customers to reduce their time to market." Lotoczky said that compared with a network model hand-developed by a customer, the automated development package reduces the time required from about a month to about 15 minutes.
In addition to CANoe, for ECU simulation, the firm offers CANape for calibration and bypass simulation, CANalyzer for bus measurement and characterization and debug, and a variety of specialized products. Vector's VT System consists of input/output modules for building ECU test solutions. As many as 12 modules and a backplane fit in a 19-inch rack.
"Hybrid/electric and other new vehicle architectures involve more complex interactions between vehicular subsystems – therefore increasing the urgency to do more system-level simulation before prototypes are available," noted ETAS' Howarth.
"All major OEMs and Tier One suppliers are fully on-board with the concept and the advantages of model-based design, but some companies have invested more than others in making model-based design a standard practice all the way from design to code," he said. The main reason, according to Howarth, is the cost-benefit ratio. "The investment required can be large, and if the benefit cannot be realized in the near future – on a current program – some OEMs elect to delay it."
Howarth said modeling standards such as MAAB (The MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board) and MISRA-C (Motor Industry Software Reliability Association – C programming language) for automatic code generators are becoming increasingly important as companies try to curb costs. "This is critical for containing validation and execution costs for production-intensive programs," he said.
AUTOSAR investigations are underway as companies try to leverage standardization to reduce cost while defining the future of software development. "The ultimate goal is an efficient, distributed, hardware-independent process, with increased use of automatic production code generation tools for new programs," Howarth said.
Preassembled implementations
QNX Software Systems recently introduced QNX CAR, an application development framework that leverages technology from QNX and suppliers in its ecosystem to speed automakers' time to market.
Automotive product marketing manager Andy Gryc said QNX CAR offers preassembled reference implementations that allow customers to skip integration and work immediately on product development and differentiation. The first two implementations are a digital instrument cluster and a multi-node infotainment system.
Gryc said QNX CAR should "eliminate the time-consuming bottleneck" of silicon and software integration. It reduces the upfront engineering needed for a prototype system and applies charges only to those projects that go into production. A developer portal provides source code to QNX products, technical resources, forums, and the ability to track new features in real time. The framework supports ARM, Power, SH, and x86 silicon architectures provided by vendors including Freescale, Renesas, Nvidia, Fujitsu, and Intel.
Last fall NEC Electronics, KPIT Cummins Infosystems, and ETAS GmbH formed a collaboration to facilitate development of AUTOSAR-compliant systems by combining NEC V850 microcontrollers, KPIT communications control middleware and runtime environment, and ETAS' ASCET automotive C-code development tool and INTECRIO prototyping platform.
NEC Electronics will develop and market AUTOSAR-compliant MCAL microcontroller driver software for 30 products in its 32-bit V850 F Series and one V850E/PH03 MCU with an embedded FlexRay controller. KPIT will produce software to run on the NEC MCUs, and ETAS will offer software development tools to work with both the NEC MCUs and the KPIT modules.
Custom-tailored tools
The Automotive Electronics Division of Bosch uses a suite of custom-tailored tools according to Jerry Gohl, director of engineering. Bosch uses a customized version of ENOVIA MatrixOne for electronic hardware product lifecycle management (PLM).
"MatrixOne allows the design engineer to choose components that have been tested and released by Bosch's quality organization for use in ECU manufacturing," Gohl said. "The use of released components helps ensure the reliability, manufacturability, and cost of the ECU."
Schematic entry and printed circuit board (PCB) layout are performed with Zuken's CR-5000 toolset. Gohl said that when the design is complete, the PLM tool is used to transfer data to SAP for the manufacturing of the PCB assembly. The automated transfer reduces lead time and eliminates the potential for error due to manual entry."
Continental AG plans to replace four different electronic design systems with Zuken's CR-500, which provides system design and analysis, constraints management, concurrent FPGA and PCB design, PCB layout and verification, high-speed and EMC analysis, and production preparation, plus a parts library manager, documentation system, and an Internet-accessible components library. CR-5000 also supports co-design and co-verification with mechanical, electrical, and thermal design systems.
There is a healthy cost involved in migrating from four different electronic design systems to one, according to Stan Nowiki, NAFTA regional competency manager at Continental, but he said that standardizing will ultimately lower development costs. One factor is the cost of supporting four different design libraries. "Feature content is going through the roof," Nowiki said. "Mandates from customers to use specific design tools are not as strong as they used to be because there is more effort being placed now on what features cost."
Also placing more emphasis on a single vendor, TATA Autocomp Systems is expanding its deployment of Mentor Graphics' CHS electrical/wire harness design tools. It uses the Capital Harness tool. "CHS is the most powerful vehicle electrical design platform available," said TATA Autocomp general manager Sanjay Srivastava. He added that many of his firm's customers also use CHS. "Native design data compatibility combined with comprehensive data exchange and integrity checking ensures a robust environment for design service businesses."

Cole Hamels pitched two shutout innings Saturday against the Houston Astros. The Phillies lost the game, 8-3.
- Filed Under
Cole Hamels looked every bit of an opening day starter in his brief outing Saturday at Bright House Field.
Not that he didn't last season or before that. Hamels was clearly the Phillies' best hurler in 2012 and even has a World Series MVP to his name. But he's never had an opening day start.
"It's one game, one appearance and then you're back into the normal baseball atmosphere," Hamels said. "I've never really looked at it as this big sort of ordeal. I've always valued the playoffs." ...

VIENNA (AP) - An Austrian photo gallery says a camera used by a photographer who documented the life of artist Pablo Picasso has sold for a world record price of (euro) 1.68 million ($2.19 million).
The Westlicht gallery says the Leica m3d belonged to David Douglas Duncan. The 96-year-old former photographer for LIFE magazine was a close friend of Picasso and published hundreds of exclusive photos of him.
Manufactured in 1955, the camera is one of four ever made, and the price is a world record for a commercially produced camera.
In a statement Monday, Westlicht says the second-highest price in the Saturday's sale was for a gold-plated Leica made in 1929, which sold for (euro) 1.02 million ($1.3 million).

Both Mike and Susan pack the car for a picnic and head to the woods to forget about dialysis and kidneys. After a series of unfortunate events, Mike tells Susan that he feels like she is giving up. Instead, she says that she is fighting harder than ever and won't give up.
Meanwhile, Beth is back home after being kicked out by Paul. He doesn't want her there though and confirms it was him – he killed her Aunt Martha! Beth visits Felicia in jail and tells her mother that she was right all along. She even mentioned Paul's confession to gain back her mother's love, but Felicia sternly reminds Beth that that she has no proof. Felicia tells the guard to remove Beth from the visitor's list after breaking Beth's heart and telling her how much of a disappointment she has always been.
After Susan shares the bad news with the other housewives, Bree decides to take it upon herself to find a matching donor. By hosting a brunch, the neighbors show up for more than just tea and treats. A treatment coordinator and nurse are present to answer questions and provide testing to find a matching donor. Later, Bree receives a call that there are two matching candidates – both Bree and Beth could help Susan out. Beth wasn't invited to Bree's earlier party, but she saw one of Bree's flyer and got tested on her own.
Bree visits Beth in a hotel, and thanks her for taking the time to get tested, but she wants to be the one to help out Susan. However, Beth wants to be the donor and says she needs to do this. Bree then confides in Beth that she has been feeling lost and needs to find purpose in life by helping out her best friend. In the end, Beth takes matters into her own hands by shooting herself at the hospital before handing over the required paperwork to be Susan's donor.

With climate change awareness, soaring fuel prices, declining equipment costs and government incentives, the solar industry is expected to continue to grow at a blistering rate in the foreseeable future. This is an attractive business environment for contractors, electricians and entrepreneurs looking to participate in the growing renewable energy space.
Who We Are
Solar Universe is a rapidly growing solar sales and installation concept that is delivered through a network of owner-operators under a franchise model that includes sales and marketing infrastructure, education, standardized solar design, product distribution, project financing and technology. The system provides opportunity to get started in solar, and develop your own business with the benefits of a national brand and corporate support system:
Recently, we secured $7M in financing and a have a strong team in place. We seek partners who have the drive, passion and tenacity to help us take it to that level.
Who We Need
We seek individuals who are looking to build a large scale business. Sales and Marketing professionals, electricians, roofers, HVAC and general contractors are all good candidates with skill-sets appropriate for the solar industry. Our Franchise Partners typically come from either the sales and marketing backgrounds and leverage our operational knowledge or from a related trade background and need assistance rolling out their sales/marketing infrastructure. Either way, we have the tools/resources to help you launch a solar business rapidly.
Why Us
With the cost of solar panels dropping dramatically, state/federal incentive programs and financing options, solar has never been so cost-effective. Financing your system will often result in a cash flow, positive result in month one. Many studies suggest that for every dollar invested, it increases the value of your home or business by 20 fold.
The growth of Solar will require many more qualified installers. Contractors, sales people and entrepreneurs will try to fill this gap, however without Solar Universe's business model, they will be at a tremendous disadvantage due to the complexities and moving parts of solar. Our business model helps installers plug into a larger platform with financing, volume discounts, and marketing/sales support.

Many famous and infamous dogs have lived in the White House throughout the rich history of the United States. President after president will decide on a family pet, and the decision is usually a very public one, with constituents weighing in. Occasionally, the White House pet receives as much attention from the media as the hot topics do.
One example is Richard Nixon's dog, Checkers. In 1952, the former president was a candidate for the vice president seat, running with Dwight D. Eisenhower. The media focused on an $18,000 campaign contribution that Nixon may have used for personal gain. To get back on America's good side and to remain on the ticket, Nixon addressed the nation with a speech denying using the contribution for person use. He also stated that he received Checkers as a gift and he would not be giving the dog back. This later turned Sept. 23 into Dogs in Politics Day. Here are a few other famous White House canines.
Fala, Franklin D. Roosevelt
Arguably one of the most famous presidential pets, Fala is a Scottish terrier that captured the hearts of many Americans. Fala was an early Christmas gift to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his full name is Murray the Outlaw of Falahill, after his famous Scottish ancestor, John Murray of Falahill. Fala traveled with Roosevelt to Hyde Park, N.Y. and Warm Springs, Ga. He also made public appearances with Roosevelt, including special events and meetings with officials abroad. Roosevelt was criticized for accidentally leaving Fala behind on the Aleutian Islands while on tour there and sent a U.S. Navy destroyer to retrieve Fala at a high cost. The "Fala Speech" defended the dog, and it reportedly helped positively turn the election around for Roosevelt. Fala lived to be 11 years old, and he was buried next to the Roosevelts in the rose garden at Springwood. A statue of Fala is featured alongside Roosevelt in Washington, D.C.
Millie, George H.W. Bush
Millie was named for Mildred Caldwell Kerr, a long-time friend of the Bushes. She was the pet Springer spaniel of Barbara and George H.W. Bush, and she is recognized as one of the most famous White House dogs in history. During his 1992 bid for re-election, Bush mentioned Millie in his speech, saying that Millie knows more about foreign affairs than his opponents, Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Millie is credited as the author of Millie's Book: As Dictated by Barbara Bush, making Millie the only "first pet" to write a book. She was also portrayed in an episode of Murphy Brown and Wings.
Him and Her, Lyndon B. Johnson
These two beagles were the most famous of President Lyndon B. Johnson's dogs. Johnson was frequently photographed playing with them. One photograph that caught the attention of many was taken in 1964, when Johnson lifted Him up by his ears to greet a group on the White House lawn. Her died at the White House in November 1964 after she swallowed a stone. Him died in June 1966 after he was hit by a car while chasing a squirrel on the White House lawn. One of Him's offspring, Freckles, was adopted by a White House staff member after the Johnsons left the White House.
Barney, George W. Bush
Barney is former President George W. Bush's Scottish terrier. He was a gift from former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman to former First Lady Laura Bush. Most notably, Barney was the main star of the White House's annual Christmas videos during the Bush administration. He starred in a total of 11 government film productions Barney was criticized by former White House official, Karl Rove, who said Barney was nothing but a "lump." Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also criticized Barney and Bush saying that world leaders should own large, robust dogs, not smaller breeds. Putin went on to say that his black Labrador, Koni, is bigger, tougher, stronger, faster and meaner than Barney.
Bo, Barack Obama
Bo is the newest member of the first family. He is a Portuguese water dog, and he was the final choice because of Malia Obama's allergies. Besides being the "first dog," Bo's claim to fame is his brother, Cappy. Cappy, named for Amigo's Captain Courageous, was the late Senator Ted Kennedy's dog. Although he has not been in office long, Bo has received quite a bit of media attention, as the public was interested to see what breed the Obamas would adopt. Originally, the Obama family seemed to emphasize their desire to adopt a shelter dog, but Bo was a gift from Senator Kennedy. However, Bo is considered to be a second-chance dog, as things did not work out for him at his first home. Upon joining the first family, Bo was immediately depicted in four children's books, as well as a plush toy.

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc (CLF) $43.73 +0.41%
Cliffs Resources (CLF), the Cleveland, OH steel and iron company, is trading up 34 cents to $43.89 and options action is heating up in the stock ahead of earnings. The company is due to report after the closing bell. 14,000 calls and 2,710 puts traded in the name. November 46 calls are the most actives. 3,652 traded, including a 467-lot for $1.50 on ISE; which is a closing buyer, according to ISEE data. However, the Weekly 45, 45.5 and 47.5 calls are seeing opening activity ahead of the news and well over half of the flow is trading at the offer, suggesting buying interest in the upside calls on CLF. Short interest might be driving some of the flow. Short (as percent of float) ratio in the stock was 19.4 percent at the end of September. CLF fell 6.3 percent on 7/26 when earnings were last repoted, but is up 13.7 percent since that time. The stock is also well off the 2012 highs of almost $79 per share seen in late-January. (Note that there is unsubstantiated chatter that CLF has hired Deutsche Bank as adviser — Benzinga — and that might be motivating some of the call activity as well).

The Reds have a chance to be an abysmal offensive team and whole lot of things have to go right for them to be above average.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
Not a single significant upgrade on offense in 2 years as GM, and the team's best player was drafted by JimBo.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
But you are right. That could have happened. But Harang and Arroyo would have left pre-2009, which is only last year. Cueto was already up and Bailey as well. I don't see how that would have cnaged the timeline. And Cincy could have just gotten a vet to take their places, no one is saying that they would have had to rush youngsters.
- The Hamilton "story"
- Edinson's first half of 2008
Volquez was an absolute stud pre ASB 2008 and, since then, has been somewhat middle of the road. Still an asset, but not a TOR starter like he appeared to be when he first arrived. And now, after surgery, who knows? TJ is becoming more routine than it has historically been, but you never know. So, at this point, that tremendous series of moves has netter Cincy 90ish somewhat productive games from Hamilton, one great half from Volquez and 1+ middle of the road half from him as well. At this point, it has been beneficial due to what was given up (nothing) but overall it is highly overrated.
What are you, people? On dope? - Mr Hand
When your best argument in favor of a GM is that he didn't do anything crazy while producing yet another losing season it's not exactly inspiring.
Wait...er...uh...Walt's got an impressive track record in total as a GM. His performance whilst at the helm of the Reds. Not so much.

Admittedly Walt did this when he acquired Rolen. He traded from strength, but he traded for his GM blind spot. Just as you have said Arroyo was Krivsky's, Rolen certainly is Walt's.

Two of our favorite flavors are combined into a quick-bake casserole dessert.
Consider serving this tempting dessert with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping along with a sprinkling of baking cocoa--and maybe even a fresh or maraschino cherry or two.
Why should you avoid using a reduced-fat spread or tub product versus butter or margarine? Basically, when the fat is removed, it's replaced with water, and that can affect the texture and quality of the cobbler. It's only 2 tablespoons—go for the gusto and enjoy!

Students warm up to STEAM at Crafton Elementary
Crafton Elementary Principal Jacie Maslyk always believed the STEAM Studio at her school was a big deal.
Now she's finding out it could be an even bigger deal.
The school's studio, in which students create projects based in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, recently was featured in a Sprout Fund video highlighting regional outlets for children to learn through technology and creativity.
The video, called "Kids+Creativity: Building a Regional Learning Network," also featured Carnegie Mellon's Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment institute; the Carnegie Museum of Natural History; and Hip Hop on L.O.C.K., a mentoring and arts education program.
"It's a really neat video clip, and we were very proud to even be asked to be in it," Maslyk said. "It's sort of our 10 seconds of fame."
Crafton Elementary's STEAM Studio opened in the fall after Maslyk secured a $20,000 grant from the Grable Foundation and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation over the summer. The grant enabled the district to set aside a dedicated space for STEAM work and purchase equipment such as K'NEX, snap circuits, iPads and more to use in the room.
The idea, Maslyk said, was to help students learn through hands-on work and begin to show them possible career fields at an early age.
Along those lines, a group of students from the school were scheduled to visit Carnegie Science Center earlier this week for the SciTech Festival. The festival featured educational programs, workshops and exhibits in the areas of science and technology.
Maslyk said it would give the students an even greater look at how STEAM subjects relate to many different careers.
"It's kind of taking the fun things we're doing and showing them theres a real-world application to that," Maslyk said.
Maslyk was recently named to the advisory board for MAKESHOP at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh — an area where children and adults can create projects in woodworking, circuitry, animation and more. Maslyk said the board would be looking at ways to make MAKESHOP mobile and transport it to area schools.
More than that, Maslyk said she hopes to see the STEAM Studio at her own school continue to grow. She said students in third through sixth grades were using the room during lunch periods, and more teachers were taking their classes in for projects.
The room is even gaining notoriety outside of Pittsburgh, as Maslyk recently received a phone call from a representative of an Illinois school district looking to improve its own STEAM offering.
"I was shocked," Maslyk said of the phone call. "But (I was) so happy that (with) the stuff that we have going on in our building, the word is spreading."

Information and Product Offerings for CR2 Photo Lithium Batteries
CR2 Photo Lithium Batteries are commonly used in today's Digital Cameras, LED flashlights, Light Meters and other Photographic Equipment.
CR2 lithium batteries are 3 volt, single-use batteries. Single-use simply means they are not rechargeable as Lithium Ion chemistry batteries are. Another term used to describe non rechargeable batteries is, disposable.
An advantage of CR2 lithiums is their excellent shelf life, at 10 years on average. If you use them, you should stock up for future use when you spot a great deal! They offer Ultra high energy density and can last between 3 and 5 times longer than ordinary alkaline batteries.
CR2 Photo Lithium batteries are available in rechargeable chemistries as well. These same size and application batteries, which are rechargeable, are made with Lithium Ion (LI-Ion) chemistry. Of course, there are Li-Ion.
Please see our entire Photo Lithium Section for the full range of disposable Lithium and rechargeable lithium ion versions we carry.
The various companies who make photo lithium batteries include Duracell, Sanyo, Panasonic, Titanium, and Energizer just to name a few. They use different model numbers for the CR2 but are all fully compatible.
We accept purchase orders from: The Private and Public sectors, Non-Profit Organizations and Institutions, Municipal, State, and Federal Government Agencies and Departments, Schools and Universities, Laboratories, The Hotel Industry, and All Volume Users of Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers.

Escuela Politécnica del Ejército - UofS Partnership
The College of Graduate Studies and Research (CGSR) is pleased to announce a new partnership agreement with Escuela Politécnica del Ejército (ESPE), located in Quito Ecuador. This prestigious university is ranked within the top five in Ecuador and has a long history of research strength in engineering and plant science. On behalf of ESPE, Rector Chavez welcomed the delegation from the UofS in April, 2013. The UofS delegation, coordinated and led by the CGSR, included two faculty ambassadors, Professor Leon Wegner from Civil and Geological Engineering and Professor Hugo Cota-Sanchez from Biology, as well as Danny Freire from the U of S Language Centre.
This was the second time a delegation from the CGSR visited ESPE, and at the conclusion of the visit, a partnership agreement was signed. This agreement facilitates doctoral students to come to the UofS to do full PhD degrees on scholarship from ESPE, and equally important, it will act as the catalyst for faculty research collaborations. During the visit, Professors Wegner and Hugo-Sanchez met with faculty and students in engineering biology and plant science and have begun the process of identifying areas for future collaboration.
Currently, the UofS welcomes three doctoral students from ESPE who will begin their programs in the 2013/2014 academic term – two in engineering and one in plant science. Rector Chavez and a delegation from ESPE will be visiting the UofS in September.

Barton Pump Station, Fauntleroy dock to be on generator power tomorrowMarch 6, 2013 at 4:41 pm | In Fauntleroy, Utilities, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
A new problem at the Barton Pump Station Upgrade Project site north of the Fauntleroy ferry dock, according to the King County Wastewater Treatment Division: "Jet grout" material (which is similar to concrete, we're told) from the upgrade work has turned up in an underground transformer vault near the station, and has to be removed. While that removal work happens 7 am-7 pm tomorrow, Seattle City Light will cut power to both the pump station and ferry dock; the county says "two 'Whisperwatt' generators" will be in action to replace the cut-off power. In response to this announcement, we've asked a few followup questions, and will add the answers when we get them.
1 Comment
Ha! I work on the dock and this is the first I've heard of this. Haha.. good times.. good times. Par for the course around here.. gotta love wsf.

TIPS FOR THURSDAY! Simple Strategies (7 of 8) – Learning to Love your Deadlines!
Submitted by Jessica
Welcome to the 7th article in an eight part series that digs deeper into the 8 Simple Strategies so you can save time, money and energy on your journey to the best marketing materials around.
We can all have a love-hate relationship with deadlines. Imagine, it's the 11th hour, you haven't eaten lunch, many cups of coffee in…but garsh darnit you have to get this finished or you just can't take that next step into your business development or your client will be really disappointed. Not only will your client be upset but so will you, because we entrepreneurs always set expectations and the pile of to – do's is getting higher and higher. Plus, deep down you are ready to get this project off your plate. And then…wait for it… completion! What a great feeling! You're happy! The client is super happy! And voila the deadline wasn't such a bad idea after all. So you know what it feels like to be on deadline, right?
Even with all its ups and downs, deadlines are one of the most important elements of not only your creative projects, but of your business as a whole. Human beings work much better within a structured environment (hence government!). Deadlines are obviously a great way to create that structure and get results.
When it comes to your creative projects its very important to communicate specific deadlines to your designer. This allows your designer to plan their time more effectively and it gets you your projects finished in a fair amount of time for the both of you. There is nothing worse for designer or entrepreneur than a project that drags on indefinitely. So think back to when you have been on deadline, remember you were probably not dealing with just one client but multiple clients. Your designer, if successful, is probably working with a production schedule of his or her own.
Discuss with your designer openly and honestly your expectations for your creative project. You might have some immediate needs, but of course don't expect a turn around in less than 24 hours to always be possible. Also do not "over deadline" by becoming a micro manager. Make sure that the schedule works for both of you. It is better to communicate your needs and ask if your time schedule is possible for your designer rather than telling them. Remember they are running a business too and to rush the creative process will show rushed results. I suggest setting up your deadline schedule like such:
Logo Design
1st round review: Nov 6th
2nd round revisions: Nov 12th
Final version: Nov 18th
Email 3 to 4 days before each due date to check in
Post this schedule up where you can see it to keep the flow going. Set up with your designer a communication protocol if set dates are going to shift for them or for you due to longer revision time and processes. Then, if you feel the need to check in, email your designer 3 to 4 days before to communicate your excitement to take this next step. Also, make sure they don't need any additional materials or further clarification from you. This will allow for them to share in your excitement and will often show an even greater loyalty to you and respect to your time commitments. All in all, once due dates have been agreed upon create an assurance with your designer to excitedly meet them. You will both be better armed to finish the project on time with amazing results!
Happy deadline setting!
