8.2.[U] Lab improvement contestEach quarter, all students are invited to participate in the SEAL Lab Improvement Contest. During the quarter, you are supposed to come up with at least one lab improvement and enter it in writing on SEAL board. The winner of the contest gets the prize: lunch with Prof. Mamishev in Faculty Club. The winner is usually announced at the first general meeting of the subsequent quarter. The idea can be the most trivial and require as little as one minute to implement. Many of you will come up with little improvements naturally, just remember to write them down before the end of the quarter. It is ok to have an idea without implementation, although winning in this case is not possible. 8.3.Summer Registration[Email from Frankye Jones]: For SUMMER QUARTER only, students with RAs/TAs (and most fellowships) may register for 5 credits and still be considered fulltime. Exception: students registering for 700 (thesis) or 800 (dissertation) may register for 2 credits and still be considered fulltime. Students registering for anything other than 700/800 will have social security charges to their checks if they register for fewer than 5 credits (IRS rules). Further exceptions: *new* international students registering for the first time must register for 10 credits, so faculty who have new students arriving should plan for full tuition payment. Students with some fellowships may be required to register for 10 credits - check your fellowship. Those of you with RAs should try to keep the registration to 5 (or 2 in the case of registering for 700 or 800), since that helps lower the cost of tuition amount charged to the professor's grant. For students registering for 2 credits, the operating fee for grants is $603. (Student pays $38). For students registering for 5 credits, the operating fee for grants is $1504. (Student pays $94).

8.4.2.PurchasingPurchasing of large items should be through purchase order system, unless there is a huge rush. As with all other paperwork, do not trust university bureaucracy system to process your papers. Your paperwork will be lost, mishandled, and misdirected. Every time you fill a purchase order, put it in your log and if nothing happens after a week, check back with the system. 8.5.[U] Computing8.5.1.Data backupAs you move to larger projects, backing up your data becomes extremely important. Please make sure you save and backup your work regularly. The world is full of people who had lost several years worth of their efforts because their computer was stolen or crashed. There are many programs (e.g. Mr. Mirror) that will back up your data over the network at regular intervals (daily is the best) without any efforts on your side. In addition, make copies on ZIP disks or other hard media regularly. [Email from Fred Sayre:] There has been a push to have automatic backup of SEAL student's data in the lab. With the new additional space on the server this has become an important thing for people to do, to save time and minimize loss when there are computer problems. The program is located at: \\sealnet.ee.washington.edu\archives\Software\BACKUP\ Instructions for instillation: 1. Double click the trial software to install. 2. Open up the install folder on your computer. It should be under C:\Program Files\LIUtilities\WinBackup Replace the WinBackup.exe file in the install folder with the one that is on the server. 3. Open the program, and click enter key. Enter a name and organization, type a serial number greater than 6 digits, (i.e. 0000000)
