A memo from Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee delivers the emotional impact of the $85 billion in mandated sequestration cuts coming March 1. (click here).
Continue Reading Below
The memo warns of furloughs of two weeks or longer for roughly 4,000 employees at the Federal Aviation Administration, and an unspecified number of layoffs of USDA food safety inspectors -- which could force meat plant shutdowns, it says.
Also, 5,000 border patrol officers could be furloughed, which "could jeopardize security at points of entry," the memo says. Another 1,300 correctional officers could be laid off, as well as 1,000 federal law enforcement officers at places like the FBI. "The Justice Department would have to furlough hundreds of federal prosecutors," says a White House official.
The memo also warns that $1.9 billion would be taken back from the $51 billion given in federal Sandy aid, and $1 billion in cuts in disaster relief at FEMA. The cuts could also mean $353 million in reductions in food programs for the poor, hurting women and children and costing "at least 1,600 state and local jobs due to reduced federal funding," a White House official has warned, as well as $1.6 billion in funding cuts for medical research at the National Institutes of Health, "costing tens of thousands of jobs for scientists and students," the official says.
Embassy security? Slashed too, by $168 million, the Dems warn, as the Benghazi, Libya, controversy rages on.
"This across-the-board cut will slow economic growth and job creation while cutting services and investments critical to the American people," Rep. Nita Lowey, ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, says in a statement.
But the nearly $51 billion in Sandy aid has been criticized for being loaded with pork spending that had nothing to do with the hurricane, with media reports indicating less than half of the money was going to storm victims. Defenders of the aid bill say spending will go towards protecting the nation's infrastructure from future storms.
The D.C. battle over the sequester cuts is picking up in intensity as the deadline forcing $1.1 trillion in federal spending cuts over the next ten years looms, with $85 billion due this March 1. U.S. debt is set to hit 87% of U.S. GDP in 2023 if reductions don't take place, warns the Congressional Budget Office. Discretionary spending is in the bulls' eye, as raising taxes or cutting Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid are political landmines in election campaigns.
As the jobless rate sticks stubbornly at 7.9%, the president is expected to use his State of the Union address on Tuesday night to advocate more government spending to create jobs, for items including infrastructure, clean energy and education.
On Dec. 31, the total debt of the U.S. government was $16.45 trillion. The Federal Reserve is buying U.S. government debt and mortgage-backed securities, a total of $85 billion monthly. Its balance sheet is expected to top $3 trillion for the first time by the end of this month -- $1.72 trillion of which is U.S. debt.
The Wall Street Journal notes that the sequester cuts actually equal about a third of the jump in discretionary spending since 2008. It says that the first two years of President Obama's term actually saw federal domestic discretionary spending rising 84%, "with some agencies doubling and tripling their budgets," citing the U.S. departments of Energy, Commerce and the EPA. "Fiscal year 2012 marked the fourth consecutive year of $1 trillion deficits," says the Heritage Foundation.
The Journal says the furloughs Democrats are raising red flags about are really layoffs in an already bloated federal government -- "most of the layoffs will happen in Washington, D.C., the recession-free region that has boomed during the Obama era." The paper says the sequester will actually help the U.S. economy by stopping the federal government from taking capital out of the hands of the private sector.
Meanwhile, entitlements are the sacred cow getting fatter by the day, with health reform the latest program for which taxpayers must foot the bill.
Even before health reform, "entitlement spending more than doubled over the past 20 years, growing by 110%," inflation-adjusted, while "discretionary spending grew by 60%," says the Heritage Foundation.
Meanwhile, "in 1962, defense spending was nearly half the total federal budget (49%); Social Security and other mandatory programs were less than one-third of the budget (31%)," notes the Heritage Foundation.
But that ratio flipped by 2012, when "entitlements were nearly 62% of total spending, while defense dropped to less than one-fifth (18.7 %) of the budget," Heritage points out.

RADFORD, Va. (Sept. 4, 2009) - After a late game-tying goal by host Radford, the ETSU women's soccer team showed its toughness overcoming the reigning Big South champs 2-1 Friday evening, at Cupp Stadium in Radford, Va.
"Tonight was a great victory," said head coach Heather Henson. "Radford is a tough team to beat on the road. It seems like every time we play them at their place it's a great match. Tonight both teams played a physical, tactical match throughout each period. I'm so proud of our player's effort and how they kept fighting in regulation for the win."
ETSU (1-3-0, 0-0-0 A-Sun) quickly opened the scoring as senior forward Jordan Monty (Mesquite, Texas) cleaned up a Buc corner kick for the matches first goal in the 10th minute.
The Bucs held their one-goal advantage as play headed late into the second half. After an ETSU foul in the 86th minute Highlander senior midfielder Justine Dugger roped home a free kick from 35 yards out, which knotted the match at 1-1.
With the Radford (2-1-0, 0-0-0 Big South) home crowd back in the match - and less than four minutes left in regulation - ETSU dug deep and responded in sudden fashion.
After the ensuing kickoff, ETSU immediately moved down the pitch where sophomore midfielder Genna Petersen (Loveland, Ohio), took a long pass down the right side. The second year starter then crossed an outstanding pass over to junior forward Terri Miller (Cape Coral, Fla.), who fired home the game-winner with two minutes to play.
"Our backs played well throughout the match," said Henson. "Their solid play gave Radford a tough time right through the end of the contest. Our line with Tori (Head) and Terri did a great job up top with a number of scoring chances. Overall, it took a lot of heart and character for our team to close out Radford with only minutes left in regulation."
All-around the Bucs got a number of great individual efforts from sophomore goalkeeper Megan Masch (Virginia Beach, Va.) and freshman midfielder Morgan Thomas (Maryville, Tenn.).
Masch led the ETSU defense with seven saves, while Thomas continued to improve on both sides of the ball.
"Morgan has maintained her level of play throughout our first four matches," Henson said. "Everyday she's got better and I thought tonight her effort on the attack and stopping Radford's offense showed the ability she has as a player. Even though the stat sheet might not have her with a number of shots, like a lot of girls tonight, she did the little things that allowed us to get the win."
With the victory ETSU looks to keep its winning ways as they welcome regional rival UNC-Asheville with a 2:00 p.m., contest Sunday at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"We've been so close this season and I believe tonight was the breakthrough we needed," said Henson. "Like our match at Tennessee, we had a great fan base on the road this evening. A number of families and fans made the trip over to Radford. What a great testament to our program and system to have the support we've got on the road."
With the victory ETSU improved to 6-4-2 all-time against Radford. Individually, Miller's game-winner was the Cape Coral, Fla., native's fourth career goal against the Highlanders.

A recent Road Warrior educational experience took place near my own backyard where my business partner and I conducted a two-day business planning session for 10 dairy producers and families. He had a very interesting perspective concerning transition planning as it related to this group. That is, the producers who had the most effective handoff to the next generation or partners were the ones who had planned it out over a five-year period. My teaching partner was exactly right about this point.
Transition planning cannot be a "quick fix" overnight process. Frequently, it requires grooming the next generation or partners with both formal education and experiences that allow them to hit the ground running when the management or leadership baton is passed. This transition planning requires an assessment of the players involved in the business, including strengths and areas for improvement. Too often, the new-generation management returning is a "chip off the old block" with a competitive versus a complementary skill base.
Next, those businesses that were successful in transition knew how to separate business, family and personal issues. First, they established a compensation base with full disclosure of perks and benefits, and values placed on each item. Family and personal expenses were not comingled with business expenses, so the off farm siblings could not quibble over perceived benefits. All agreements were in writing with an exit plan in case the business could not continue. It is interesting note that each of the successful businesses' older generations had a plan for evolving out of the business with roles and responsibilities spelled out, down to where they were going to live.
Transition planning is a task that can easily be placed on the "back burner" as everyday issues and challenges supersede planning. Often it requires answering tough questions with well-thought-out answers that are in writing. The transition plan that is last-minute can become very emotionally driven, causing logic to be thrown out the door or window. The older generation's legacy and the younger generation's future should be reason enough to make transition planning a top priority.

Ritter to state employees: Chill
Gov. Bill Ritter, trying to boost morale among state employees as the state wrangles with a $1.5 billion budget deficit, praises a move to make every day a "dress down Friday."
Republicans in the state Senate are mocking the governor over the matter, suggesting he's being "glib" in the face of serious economic problems.
You decide.
In a recent letter to state employees in the state publication Stateline, Ritter talks about the hard economic times and thanks employees for their hard work.
He then applauds a stress-reducing move by the Department for Health Care Policy and Financing to extend "'dress down Fridays' to every day of the week."
Ritter then quotes Joan Henneberry, who the governor appointed as the department's executive director, as saying, "as long as we're in a recession, we've decided to boost morale by offering casual dress environment for all employees every day. This dress-down policy largely spares our employees the cost of dry cleaning, purchasing new suits and seasonal clothing. The response to this has been incredible. Employees are happy and motivated. This has bolstered our overall team morale during a time when we are working harder than ever."
I asked the governor's spokesman, Evan Dreyer, if Ritter did, in fact, publish this letter.
"Yes he did," Dreyer responded, "and the point is this: The governor is working hard to close a $1.5B budget shortfall, execute an economic-development strategy and lead Colorado forward to a strong recovery. Every day we ask state employees to do more with less as demand increases, and when a department head comes up with a small thing that means a lot to employees, he's going to applaud that. It's that simple. It won't save the state and he's not saying it will or could."
Dreyer stressed that point in a follow-up e-mail: "It won't save the state A PENNY and he's not saying it will or could."
Meanwhile, the GOP's not buying it.
"My first reaction was that this must be an April Fool's joke," Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, is quoted as saying in a GOP's ColoradoSenateNews.com posting. "I just couldn't believe that the governor was serious."

In the future our navy will maintain the basic capabilities for the implementation of traditional tasks and operations and continue to develop its capabilities for implementation of nontraditional tasks and responses to asymmetric threats. In that context we are preparing a ship to participate in NATO's Operation Active Endeavour and plan to start building patrol vessels for our coast guard, which is an integral part of the navy.
Throughout the next five years we expect to participate in international (United Nations-NATO-European Union) maritime operations in the Mediterranean. We plan to train and equip our mine-countermeasures diver unit so it can be ready to deploy and operate out of our AOR.
Our maritime-security capabilities will be enhanced significantly with the construction of coastal-patrol vessels over the next ten years. The navy also plans to develop a diving training center that we hope will earn regional recognition not only for training, but in the area of underwater technologies development and testing as well.
In the second decade, our capability to protect maritime security in the Adriatic will be even more enhanced with the planned introduction and deployment of offshore-patrol vessels, which will allow us to operate out of our primary AOR in the Mediterranean and its approach routes. The development vision for our navy is clear, but in the end, the realization of many goals and projects depends on the economy and the financial capabilities of the Republic of Croatia.

This plugin is a rewritten from scratch fork of the Yellow Pencil Lite plugin by WaspThemes. As theme developers, we wanted to use Yellow Pencil in our projects but needed to make it much simpler for our clients. Unfortunately, Yellow Pencil code didn't provide enough filters and hooks to extend it without forking/code rewrite. The plugin's code is not-extendable and not suitable for modern JavaScript development (ReactJS). Our form of the plugin is much simpler and limited in functionality comparing to Yellow Pencil. We left only features that Gutenberg users really need and re-code everything using ReactJS framework used by the Gutenberg developers. Thank you, WaspThemes for all the ideas shared with open source community through GPL-based Yellow Pencil Lite plugin.
StylistWp is a much simpler styling plugin oriented for Gutenberg users. On other hands, Yellow Pencil is excellent for advanced web developers who don't care about extendability. Go and check their plugin to see if it's a better option for you.

Beaver and Baby Found in Idaho Grocery Store
EAGLE, Idaho (AP) — A beaver and her baby have been captured after trying to get into a southwest Idaho grocery store and will be released into the wild.
An Ada County sheriff's deputy responded Monday morning about 6 a.m. to an Eagle grocery store where the adult beaver and her kit repeatedly tried to enter. The Idaho Humane Society arrived and captured the pair near a bin filled with willow bundles and turned them over to another group.
Animals in Distress spokesman Tony Hicks says the beaver and her kit will be released north of Idaho City in an area with plentiful willow and aspen bark. Hicks says it's not clear why the two left several ponds near the grocery store.

London, fly away & formal methods
I called my friend who lives and works in London this morning to find out that he was one metro station away from one of last Thursday's blasts. He went to work 10 minutes late that morning. 10 minutes that probably saved his life. He was stuck in the underground train for two hours in the dark, with no electricity and no way out. They were two of the longest hours of his life, not knowing what was going on. After he came out, he realized that his life can be gone in a second. His wife and two girls were dead worried ofcourse, but gladly he is more than fine, and is worried that they didn't catch the perpetrators yet.
My mood today is Lenny Kravitz's song Fly Away (many thanks Jane and MMI for finding the song for me):
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
I was planning to go alone to Iraq's Nassir Shamma's Oud show tonight in the club, but a friend of mine decided to join me there. I love Oud, but I'm not particularly a fan of Shamma. He's too inventive (fattay) and likes to add this philosophical themes to his pieces, naming each piece, and always gives a talk before playing each one. Just play the damn music and let me enjoy it my own way. Even a Farid Atrache's masterpiece, he had to play it in his own unique way. I like the more traditional way of playing Oud.
It was nice though still. I wasn't in the mood for Oud actually, more into Lenny's "Fly Away", so I sat on that comfy couch going through a book that my friend brought with him; The way of Z: Practical programming with formal methods
I'm afraid that my time away from the field is getting longer, but the book made me happy that I'm coming back.
They jumped from B and C languages right to Z. But Z is not a programming language, but an abstract formal specifications language. It models a system by representing its state. Novices find the appearance of Z intimidating; a mixture of boxes, text, Greek letters, and invented pictures. I think formal methods is the way to go, and the best way to describe a system to be built avoiding any ambiguities. What you would describe in 10 lines in a natural language such as English, Z would do it in one line without any ambiguity. Without complete and accurate specifications of a system, the user won't really know what he'll be getting. Z is the way to go, especially with safety-critical systems, where an error resulting from ambiguous specifications cannot be tolerated, otherwise resulting in human losses.
Looks like I might be using some of that good stuff in my new job. As I told my friend, I'm getting into this new job with a new approach; "Management doesn't matter!"

Those of us who straddle the two kingdoms (as all Christians do to some extent) are often perplexed at election time. Voting is taking place soon in both Canada and the USA; Christians are wondering what to do.
Those who belong to groups that were originally Calvinist think along the lines of influencing the government, voting in Christian politicians (at least those with whom they agree) and favouring an agenda that looks traditionally Christian. They will vote in blocs.
Those who may have come out of the Roman, Anglican or non-Calvinist Protestant churches are less likely, perhaps, to be concerned about how their church votes, but vote their own conscience.
The Anabaptists, for the most part, avoid voting.
Caveat: I do not vote. I am not able to vote in Canada as a non-citizen, and I do not keep a permanent address in the Untied States so I can't vote in absentia.
I don't see much use in voting. All political parties look about the same to me. They serve different groups of special interests, but even that shifts frequently. We don't make much money, so paying taxes isn't a big deal. We are willing to pay our share – we do use government services because there isn't much choice. Roads need to be maintained, safety personnel hired, hospitals subsidized. Public school is necessary for most families. There are legitimate community needs that are supported by tax dollars.
Keeping personal income low is one way to avoid subsidizing the war economy, the environmental degradation sponsored by government-backed resource exploitation companies, and unnecessary expenditures that fatten the wallets and Swiss bank accounts of government contractors. Don't earn much, don't buy much, and the government can't take much.
The sad, sad truth is that greed fuels governments – not government as an abstract concept, but government as an industry in itself. The people in charge encourage us to earn and spend, or at least borrow and spend, because sales taxes make up a hefty portion of taxes, as do import duties on the things we buy. We buy megatons of stuff imported across the Pacific, and all of that gets taxed in more than one way. The importer pays duties and port fees; we pay sales taxes when we buy it; we pay local property taxes so it can be hauled away by our municipality when it's broken a few weeks later. We all pay income taxes on the money we earned to buy this stuff, or on the money earned by selling the junk.
I think Christians need to avoid this black hole, or at least stay outside the event horizon. (An event horizon around a black hole in space – a black hole being a collapsed star with a huge gravitational pull – is the "line" beyond which it is impossible to escape.)
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
The rich man loses sleep over the profit he has made cornering the grain market. He needs to build bigger barns. He plots how to get richer, and how he will spend his money in pleasure. Then in the still watches of the night, he hears a voice whispering in his mind, "You fool! Tonight your life will be taken from you. What good are your barns and profits now? Someone else will have them. You have wasted your time."
The system of tax collecting is always rife with abuse. It always favours the rich; but what good does that do their souls? I'm not sure why anyone wants to be rich beyond the necessities of life. I am not a pleasure seeker myself; I do not have interest in status objects or activities.
Staying off that event horizon has made me wary of the governmental system. I would rather live my life quietly and under their radar.

look at all the fat fux in the background.. the plague of the world.. sorry mah! ; )
wow that was a protest before the one from URL sheesh!?
not enough bells ringing for christ to drown out the true freedoms people want. and the vatican takes through gangsterism imho
that's a real woman.. not a salve.

Sorry if I'm a wet blanket, but the Vatican isn't going to take much notice of a couple women screaming and protesting in St. Peter's Square. If 10,000 women came and protested en masse, it might be a different matter, but in the end, I seriously doubt the RC church would change its position and for a simple reason: If they do indeed change at such a fundamental level, there will be demands on to change other things, such as women in the priesthood or approval of contraception or a meaningful reckoning on the priest child abuse scandal or too many other things to mention.
And the catholic church would cease to be the catholic church as we know it. And those in power cannot bear the thought of that happening. And so long as they can't, it won't.
No, but perhaps four can give hope to eight, and eight to twenty, and twenty to a hundred. There are many, many Catholics who continue supporting such a terrible organization, turning their backs on the spread of AIDS due to the church's message, the discrimination against women and gays, and the subjugation of rational thought because that's just what they have always done. If anything is going to break their routine and cause them to think things over again, four topless chicks in St. Peter's Square might do the trick.
One person standing up for good can cause a chain reaction. You never no how many people you will influence.
Ultimately, HP, I don't expect the RC church to change at all. They've never been about what the people want or what they demand. All Vatican City cares about is what THEY want and what THEY demand. Any meaningful change on the part of Joe the Rat or his rat pack is about as likely as the second coming.
My hope is that, as the people themselves change, they begin to see the foolishness and manipulative nature which is the church ... and abandon it. As other people of other religions recognize the same thing about theirs, they also leave, but in addition, they stop giving deference to religion in general and organizations such as the RC church, which were once seen as bastions of good, but now revealed as overinflated boys' clubs, interested more in their own self-perpetuation than anything else.
Eventually, Vatican City will be seen more as a meddling influence than a beneficial one, and its dicta will be ignored or actively contested, not just by individuals but by governments. Its attempts to proselytize in ignorant areas of the world will be resisted as its standing in the international community is damaged. With much time and a bit of luck, the pope and his minions will be reduced to a bunch of furtive cultists indulging in intellectual masturbation over a belief system which no longer has either relevance or influence in a world which has outgrown it.
That's a long time from now and honestly, I don't expect to see most of this happen. And again, I don't expect the church itself to change at all. I expect PEOPLE to ... and as they change and the church doesn't ... well, I hope the result is something like what I've outlined here.
A guy can hope, anyway.
Yes, I would have to agree with Loren. The Catholic Church could care less about a few women protesting. They don't hold women in high regard. Women aren't allowed to teach or preach in their churches. There is no equality for women in the Catholic faith. Why don't all those women leave that faith? I just don't understand why they belong to a church who preaches that they are not equal.
Honestly, I'm thoroughly underwhelmed by this. A few women flash their breasts. So what. The reaction by most - including evangelical extremists that consider the RCC as The Whore of Babylon - is going to be either one giant yawn, or, "Look at those idiot females." Don't misunderstand. I think the point they're trying to make is valid. It's how they are making it. When the messengers look like fools, the message gets lost.
They've now got their Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame, and by the end of the week, day, or hour, will fade back into oblivion. And, the RCC will continue it's medieval promulgation of fear, ignorance, hatred, and perversion. Worse, the RCC may even get some sympathy out of this stunt.
Who is responsible for the peoples safety around public protest?

Limewire Settles For $105 Million; How Much Of That Will Go To Artists?
from the you-get-three-guesses dept
Of course, $105 million is significantly less than what the RIAA had been asking for -- with the judge practically mocking the labels at one point for suggesting that Limewire was on the hook for $75 trillion -- or "more money than the entire music recording industry has made since Edison's invention of the phonograph in 1877." $105 million is also significantly less than the $1 billion that was the whisper number making the rounds that the labels were demanding.
The real question, though, is what will happen to the money, and how much of it (if any) will actually go to any of the artists signed to those labels. If any RIAA label artists receive a check from this lawsuit, please let us know. I expect we'll be waiting a long, long time. In the meantime, we're still curious if this shutdown of Limewire has resulted in any increased sales. A couple months ago, we had an interesting discussion on the topic, and looked at some evidence on both sides. I think it may be too early to tell, but it'll be worth watching to see what the eventual evidence shows.

Manufacturing execution systems (MES) manage operations on the shop floors of factories. Some MES support a single class of machine; others are designed to oversee operations on the entire floor. We wrote this buyer's guide to explain MES technologies and assist buyers in making a selection.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is MES Software?
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits and Potential Issues
Market Trends to Understand
The MES Vendor Landscape
"If you build it, they will come," is not a quote about manufacturing, but the concept is related. MES software manages operations on the shop floor. The scope of MES can vary from scheduling a small set of critical machines to managing the entire fabricating operation for a manufacturer. In all but a handful of cases currently, the MES does not directly control a machine but rather tracks the work-in-progress on the shop floor.
MES is a subset of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and executes the plan determined by the manufacturing resource planning (MRP) system. The functions of MES programs include: compiling a bill of materials, resource management and scheduling, preparing and dispatching production orders, preparing work-in-progress (WIP) reports and tracking production lots. Advanced systems will also have a product definition library with revision history and can report on production status to an ERP. In contrast, an MRP system sets the production schedule, determines the make versus buy list and determines inventory requirements.

The MES is responsible for scheduling and tracking each step of the production phase of a particular job. It prints out the bill of materials that the operator will require and production steps to complete at each phase. It repeats this process for each operator and each step until a particular job is complete.
MES is not generally effected by a manufacturer's mode, be it make to stock (MTS), assemble to stock (ATS), assemble to order (ATO), make to order (MTO) or engineer to order (ETO). This is because by the time the MES is invoked, the parts and schedule are already set, usually by the MRP system.
MESes are generally installed on-premises, but cloud-based solutions are becoming available. In most businesses, one of the reasons for having a cloud-based system is the reduced initial cost for equipment. This is not necessarily true for manufacturing; if the system has just a few users then they are usually located in the same facility and it is just as easy to link them to each other as it is to give them access to the Internet. If it is a large implementation, the expense is in creating a robust network and acquiring suitable fixed and mobile workstations. The incremental cost difference between having a server for the software is generally minimal. Instead, the benefit of cloud-based systems is the reduced cost for system management; the servers are out of the shop floor environment, can be backed-up and replicated automatically, and do not have to be maintained by trained on-site personnel.
The first step in evaluating MES software is to determine what type of buyer you are. Over 90 percent of software buyers fall into one of these three groups:
Enterprise resource planning suite buyer. These buyers value the seamless integration of data and processes that comes from having one system for all functions. For example, they would prefer a full-suite system for estimating, work-in-progress management and accounting that can automatically turn an estimate into a budget for project management and then match invoices to project status and allocate job costs. These buyers favor complete software suites from companies like Oracle, SAP, Sage ERP or Microsoft Dynamics.
Departmental buyer. Specialists in one function, such as creating process set points, may value the feature depth of best-of-breed solutions designed for their function. These buyers may need specific functionality, like the ability to interface with a specific computer motion control system.
Small manufacturer. Small organizations often have limited budgets and fewer IT resources and tools to dedicate to software. In many cases, they may be deciding between a new software system and a new piece of equipment. These buyers need cost-effective SMB manufacturing solutions that are easy to implement and use. Some will prefer full-suite systems, while others may just want one application, such as bill-of-materials production or shop equipment scheduling operations.
One of the big issues with implementing MES is the possibility it will be rejected by the shop floor personnel. Some workers find the method and amount of information collected intrusive. This can become a contract issue in a unionized shop. The best defense is to use a phased-in implementation coupled with training that emphasizes the benefits to workers.
Increased use of electronic documentation. Not so long ago, a shop floor had stacks and stacks of operator's manuals, procedure manuals and material safety data sheets. Operators had clipboards and notebooks with bills of materials, work orders and reports. More and more, however, this paper is being replaced with electronic documents. MES documentation is no exception, most users produce electronic work orders and schedules.
Mobile devices used for reference and control. Related to the increased use of electronic documentation is the use of mobile devices on the shop floor. The days of using clipboards and paper kanban cards are quickly coming to an end. Instead, workers are using tablet computers and handheld devices to enter information directly into the MES system.
Increased integration with enterprise systems. Considering that ERP grew out of MRP and MES systems, it is no surprise that the integration with other systems is a continuing trend. Even stand-alone MES systems can receive data from MRP systems and inventory systems, and send information to others, like preventive maintenance systems (which track the hours that equipment has been used) and payroll systems (which track how much time workers spent on each job).
Machine integration. MES systems can now integrate directly with computer-controlled shop-floor machines, downloading directions and recipes when required.
Data consolidation and visualization. MES systems can collect and consolidate information from the various production systems. Production dashboards are beginning to make their appearance in systems, giving production managers a single view to track operations in real time.

Well folks, Christmas is once more upon us and I just received a present ... from myself.
Some months ago I saw a project on Kickstarter that I thought was kind of cool so I backed it: the Cookoo watch from ConnecteDevice.
GIFT GUIDE: Be a hero for the holidays
Conceived of as an extension of your iPhone or iPad, the Cookoo watch is intended as a notification service for incoming and missed calls, calendar alerts and Facebook events, and it will also warn you when your iDevice's battery is low or the device is physically out of range.
The Cookoo features a "command" button that you can associate with various functions. A short, medium or long press of the button, for example, can represent a Facebook check-in or a geolocation tag, or trigger your iDevice to take a picture.
The Cookoo watch uses Bluetooth 4.0 Smart, a low-energy Bluetooth connection that doesn't overly tax the battery. This makes the watch compatible with only the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and third- and fourth-generation iPads.
Now, there's one big reason why this product is, in reality, a tough sell: Who wears watches any more? Ah, you might say, doesn't the extra functionality make it useful and worth wearing? Alas, it turns out that it doesn't.
To check in to Facebook or drop a location pin on a map, I don't need to wear a watch, I can pretty swiftly pull my phone out of my pocket and, as for notifying me of incoming calls and status events, the Cookoo watch needs to be louder (it's alert sound is a miserable "cheep" that would embarrass any self-respecting cricket), and its vibration alert is so weak it's absorbed by the functional but clunky rubber wrist band.
The look of the Cookoo watch isn't too bad (it's sleek and well-proportioned, albeit thicker than I'd like), but the black on black watch with blue accents I received is, in real life, readable in only bright light while the backlight is an anemic glow that is only useful when there's hardly any light at all.
In short, I am very disappointed. While I'm impressed that the company managed to get a somewhat ambitious product to market, it's not what I hoped it would be. What I hoped was going to be kind of cool and useful turns out to be kind of lame and not really useful at all. For $129 the Cookoo watch gets a Gearhead rating of 1 out of 5 and I'd like my money back (alas, refunds aren't available to Kickstarter backers).
Enough of being the Grinch! Let me give you a present that's incredibly geeky: Wolfram Mathematica 9.
Mathematica has always been an extraordinary product, but this version adds an incredible list of enhancements, including 3D volumetric imaging, image processing (including face detection, feature tracking and image classification), and full client-side Web access for data exchange via Web APIs and asynchronous connections for Ajax-style programming.
Most intriguingly, M9 includes Social Network Analysis! This feature allows you to import data from Facebook and Twitter and, through high-level functions, detect communities, cohesive groups (including cliques, clans, clubs and plexes), centrality and prestige, amongst other slicing and dicing of social media data.
Mathematica 9 is a staggeringly huge product that I'm just beginning to get into. Priced starting at $295 for the Home version and $2,495 for the Standard version, there's nothing like it and so, merry Christmas Wolfram! Mathematica gets a Gearhead rating of 5 out 5!
Gibbs is bracing himself for holiday cheer in Ventura, Calif. Send your season's greetings to email@example.com and follow him on Twitter and App.net (@quistuipater) and on Facebook (quistuipater).

Wells Fargo & Co. customers in North and South Carolina who still have free checking accounts are being notified that they will soon face a $7 fee.
The change comes as the San Francisco bank finishes its year-long process of switching customers who opened free checking accounts with Wachovia to a new fee-eligible account. The fee for North and South Carolina customers will be effective Aug. 7 and show up in statements in September.
Florida, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. are also affected by the final wave.
Customers can avoid the fee - which is $5 if they forego paper statements - by maintaining a balance of $1,500 or having monthly direct deposits of more than $500.
Wells dropped free checking for new customers in 2010, but many customers in the Carolinas still had free accounts as a holdover from the Wachovia era. Wells Fargo bought Charlotte-based Wachovia in 2008.
The bank has been gradually moving existing customers in various states away from free checking accounts over the past year. It transferred customers in 23 states into the new accounts in 2011, and announced six more states in March.
The bank has said it expects 80 percent of its customers to avoid the fee.
Banks have moved away from free checking accounts as low interest rates have made them less profitable.
As of last fall, about 45 percent of U.S. noninterest checking accounts were free, down from 76 percent in 2009, according to a survey from research firm Bankrate.com. All generally have conditions for avoiding fees, however.
New financial regulations, like rules on overdraft fees and the cap on swipe fees that merchants pay on debit card transactions, have sent banks looking for other ways to make money.
In a December investor presentation, Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf said it costs about $200 to $300 per customer to provide a checking account, including the costs for fraud protection and customer support.
"As an industry, we have communicated with a generation of customers that this is all free," Stumpf said. "There are costs."

In the Crimson Hills
Welcome to the campaign "In the Crimson Hills." It's being run by me, Kevin. Most of the important stuff is just in the Crimson Hills and Main pages for now – the Seeming and Court pages are mostly cross-referential at the moment.
Just some guidelines for using this site:
A) Please create a character page! Background! Everything! It'll be awesome. You might include 3 sections: out of character, in-character general knowledge and, if you want to, in-character secrets. But only if you want to.
B) You're welcome to Wiki things in. Just three things on that:
' 1) Keep track of where you're linking to and make sure it's the right page.
' 2) If you create a new character, make sure to cross-reference them in their seeming's page, and their court's page.
' 3) Make sure to tag your entry. Preferably with freehold.
C) The other three freeholds need work! Feel free to fill in details as you want to! It'll also be a pretty continuous work for me.
addendum: I have conquered Nick's playgroup and kicked him out. There are a few specific things I'm looking for in your background: who your character was before they went to Arcadia, who their living relatives may or may not be, what their (perceived) time in Fae was like and how they escaped.
