Left In The Dark
Counterfeiting: it sounds like something reminiscent of a spy movie, where some evil henchman would be hunched and sweating over a machine producing bill after bill—piles of green paper with no commercial worth. Yet in the truck parts industry the problem is anything but fiction, and the currency is a variety of vehicle accessories, most notably lighting products.
The estimate of the numbers of counterfeit products flooding the market varies, but one thing is for certain—the manufacturers who are concerned with valid products that fit legal safety standards are taking a major financial hit as these inferior products swallow their business.
The Transportation Safety Equipment Institute (TSEI) is a non-profit trade association that promotes the development of advanced performance standards and federal and state government and international regulations for the commercial vehicular safety equipment industry. TSEI's efforts focus on promoting the integrity of its members and the industry through product certification, testing, government enforcement and compliance activities.
TSEI is involved with safety-related issues on behalf of both the OEM and aftermarket, with the foundation of the organization focuses on highway safety. In addition to conducting research and testing, TSEI also serves as a technical forum for those in the industry to address safety concerns.
TSEI is a Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) managed trade association.
TSEI is involved in the process of finding both counterfeit products and non-compliant parts and accessories, although the two are not necessarily interchangeable. Brian Duggan, director of trade and commercial policy for MEMA, explains the difference between the two categories.
"There are two separate issues you've got. Non-compliance is a violation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In other words, if you take the light and you test it and it doesn't meet the NHTSA standard and it's supposed to be installed on a car or a truck, then it's not compliant. It's not a criminal matter, but you did violate the federal safety standards and you have to get those lights off the market," Duggan explains.
"The counterfeiting issue is a criminal and civil matter," he says. "If they violate your trademark, a company can issue a cease and desist order. Trademark violation is also a criminal matter—in other words, it's not just a matter of me or a company suing the infringer—they can actually bring it to the attention of the federal and state authorities."
"If they find a light in the market that they think is non-compliant, a lot of times the members of this group will bring it back and do round-robin testing in their own labs," Duggan explains. "They're just companies—they can't enforce the law, but they can bring it to the attention of regulators and say 'we've tested it, perhaps you should, too, because it failed.' And then the government has to take it from there. There's a number of ways that they can do that. They can actually test the light, they can contact the manufacturer, or—let's say it was manufactured outside of the United States—they can contact the fellows who import it and sell it and say, 'Can you prove to us that this light complies?'"
Companies who focus specifically on the lighting market, such as Truck-Lite, have seen the most dramatic effects from the emergence of counterfeit lighting. Brad Van Riper, vice president of research and development for Truck-Lite, explains how the effects are rippling and, often, indeterminable.
"The emergence of counterfeit and non-compliant lighting products has affected our product sales, as we have been displaced completely in some markets—like the local truck stop suppliers—where we used to be a dominant player," Van Riper says.
Perhaps the most frustrating element to this complex issue is the fact that it can be so difficult to quantify the lost sales of a valid lighting company. MEMA's vice president of communication, Neal Zipser, elaborates on this: "Obviously you have lost sales, which is first. Second, you've got any type of litigation costs, as well as dilution of the brand name. If it's a counterfeit product, it's a good possibility they're finding out about it through their warranty return channel, so they'll see higher warranty and return costs," he says. "They might have to change their packaging to try to stay ahead of the counterfeiters, so that's another cost there.
Truck-Lite's perspective is similar when dealing with the exasperating scenario of potential lost business: "It is really difficult to guess how much we have really lost," Van Riper says. "Even worse are the losses for our customers, which tend to manifest themselves in performance and safety issues."
Lost business for a manufacturer most likely means eventual trickle down costs for fleets. A fleet manager can address the issue of counterfeit and non-compiant parts by refusing to purchase them. This requires having enough knowledge to know which parts are non-compliant, how to avoid them and why.
"We are helping our customers gain awareness of the responsibilities of a lighting manufacturer," Van Riper says. He goes on to describe ways in which a buyer may get more than they bargain for when purchasing a non-compliant product from an unregistered foreign supplier, such as the "potential product liability that each of them assumes by buying products that do not have a US address."
Duggan gives a few suggestions for how fleets can protect themselves before purchase: "Customers should beware that if a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. There's a reason why it is so cheap," he says. "If it's from a supplier or a source other than a known source for this kind of regulated product, well, that might throw up a caution too. Why is this guy who doesn't normally sell lighting... why is he doing this?"
Zipser adds, "One of the problems, obviously, is on the packaging you find on the aftermarket products," he says. "A lot of the non-compliant companies will put down that they do comply with the standards when in fact they don't. There's definitely a deceiving trying to go on to the truck part buyer or the fleet manager."
Financial stress is an important result of this process, and obviously safety is too. Counterfeit products that are also non-compliant can result in a safety burden on fleets. One way of keeping the costs down in a counterfeit product is by cutting corners, and it is often the safety and reliability that get thrown by the wayside. In addition, a company that is using another company's brand is less likely to be motivated by registered safety organizations, or by wanting to maintain a quality reputation in the marketplace.
"A lot of times counterfeit products are cheaply made; often they are imported—not always, but often they are imported—so not only are they violations of trademark, they don't meet the federal safety standard either," Duggan says.
A fleet that is operating with a non-compliant product could spend less initially, but find later that the product causes more unforseen safety and maintenance concerns than it is worth.
Fortunately for legitimate lighting manufacturers, there are organizations like TSEI to provide help. Dominic Grote, vice president of sales and marketing for Grote Industries and current president of TSEI, describes its benefits.
"Grote has been an active member of TSEI since its founding in 1962," Grote says. "TSEI has taken proactive steps to educate the public, including end-users, distributors and OEMs, about the fact that a non-compliant product in the marketplace poses a safety risk to end-users, as well as distributors and OEMs from a liability standpoint."
Grote continues, "We, along with other TSEI members, firmly believe that there are no shortcuts to quality and compliant lighting systems."
Luckily for fleets, TSEI is on the job, hoping to stop counterfeit and non-compliant products before they reach someone at the purchase decision point. This includes trying to get more government accountability for compliancy issues. According to Duggan, the government is willing:
"We lobby for compliance with standards," Duggan says. "But we don't need to convince the government of anything; they want to enforce their standards."
Non-compliance is not the only cause for maintenance concerns.
Vanishing Electrical Systems: Wires Disappear with Multiplexing
It's an old problem in America's prisons and schools, but overcrowding on a truck? With abundant accessories, cab fixtures and capabilities, the wiring systems that carry data throughout a medium-duty vehicle these days can often become cramped and unmanageable.
Multiplexing allows for a fewer number of internal data wires, as certain single wires can be programmed to carry different loads of information at different times. The key to multiplexing is allowing for separate data to be transmitted, making sure that only the message that needs to be sent is the one occupying the line. The folks at International Truck know a lot about multiplexing because they have developed their own proprietary system.
Hardware manager for International, Brian Marts, explains the reason behind the transition to multiplexing. "What's really going on is you've got more and more electronic controllers on a vehicle. One thing that was happening was you would have gigantic bundle sizes of potentially hundreds of wires," Marts says. "That all became very difficult to string and package around the space requirements on a truck.
"What you have with multiplexing," he continues, "is all of your modules communicating on the same protocol."
Sound like a lot of engineering jargon? Here's where the benefits come in for maintenance: "What's nice about (multiplexing) is you only need one tool to access each of those modules," Marts says. "It used to be—in the old times—you would have to have more than one service tool… very much like a skyscraper where every floor has its own unique number, same thing with each of the modules. So now you've got the power to basically query anything in the electrical system that is connected to that."
Another advantage in terms of maintenance is the way in which multiplexed systems often have the ability to self-diagnose problems. This goes back to the on-board diagnostic system in a vehicle: if a command goes out and gets no response, it can send back a maintenance alert to the database.
"Because we put more electrical content in, there is a potential downside for people because it can be kind of hard to understand how the pieces work," Marts says. "So as things get more sophisticated, you need training to understand the new material. We offer the International Service Information System (ISIS)."
In the form of a CD-ROM, ISIS includes service manuals and circuit diagrams, as well as background technical information on almost all International models. According to their website, the ambitions of ISIS are for it to be "a single volume in what will become an encyclopedia of service data delivered electronically to every service bay in the International network."
New systems mean a change in operations from a manufacturer perspective. For Grote Industries, multiplexing created a whole new venue of additional testing procedures for their lighting products. Walt Bronson, product manager, turn signal switches for Grote Industries explains the preventative testing regimen:
"All product designs are subjected to a minimum of three levels of validation testing and analysis before production shipments begin," Bronson says. "On-vehicle road testing will also be completed at each validation series to ensure actual performance and drive-ability of the product."
Truck-Lite also believes that the easiest way to track and deal with failures is by preventing them altogether. "With the development of LED light sources, it is far more cost effective to develop lighting products that can likely last the life of the vehicle, rather than work on proactively determining when the failure will occur," Van Riper says. "Truck-Lite has registered the phrase 'Fit and Forget' as an example of how long these new extremely robust products will last."
Still, no matter how informed a supplier is in the manufacturing process, it is still a good idea for techs to be prepared for the worst. Most of the failures in lighting products, according to Grote's chart on the subject, seem to come from improper installation, storage or external concerns (like weather). Tracking and replacing these failures will keep trucks out of the shops and on the roads.
Truck Wiring and Lighting: 9 Common Causes of Failure
(Courtesy of Grote Industries)
**Moisture & Corrosion: Condensed water droplets inside a lens or corrosion around a lamp socket are sure signs that moisture has penetrated the system. Water can enter the system through ineffective wire seals, unprotected splices, unsealed crimps and connectors and non-mating seals. When making repairs, don't replace a sealed system with unsealed components. Make certain that connector seals are in place and undamaged. Inspect them carefully for cuts, tears and punctures.
**Chemical Damage: Continuous exposure to many of the common chemicals found in and around trucks can cause plastics to swell, crack, soften or otherwise become degraded. Diesel fuel and hot engine oil are the main culprits. To minimize the effects of chemicals, inspect the wiring for signs of degradation. If it is occurring in an area that is generally free from contamination, check for leaky hoses, gaskets or fittings, and repair if damaged or leaking. To avoid damage from chemicals, don't run wiring in areas where the chance for continuous exposure is likely, such as under fuel lines and filters.
**Abrasion: Abrasion occurs when wires or wire wraps are allowed to rub against frame members or other abrasive surfaces. Once the insulation is worn away, bare conductors may contact a ground surface and create a grounded circuit. Or, it could cause wear to the point of fracture, resulting in an open circuit. Using the proper routing and coverings will help to prevent wear areas and abrasive damage. Worn coverings such as loom, convoluted tubing or spiral wrap should be replaced if they are no longer providing sufficient protection for the wires inside.
**Impact: Lighting and wiring must be protected from the impact of rocks, gravel, and other road debris. A major impact can cause enough damage to require extensive repairs. Smaller, more frequent impacts over time may deliver equally extensive damage. Damage from impacts can do damage although the wires are contained in a loom or other covering. During inspection, always check for damage from impacts and replace and wiring or lights that appear to be damaged. Make certain that the replacement parts are equivalent to or better than the original.
**Vibration: Broken lamp filaments are one of the most common problems caused by vibration, but it can also lead to the abrasion of mating surfaces which causes connectors and splices to fail. To minimize vibration problems, make certain that all wires and connectors are secured appropriately. Always secure the wiring as it exits the connector. Use cushioned mountings for lamps in applications where vibration failure is excessive.
**Grit & Sand: Accumulation of abrasive materials can lead to damage, especially when combined with vibration. If gritty materials enter connections, it can accelerate the wear contact points causing interruption of the circuit and failure of the devices. Sand and grit can also attract and hold moisture, creating conditions conducive to corrosion. In some cases, sand and grit may work their way inside protective coverings and abrade the insulation of wires running through it if there is relative motion between the covering and the wire. One of the ways of reducing sand and grit buildup is to eliminate abrasive materials in the areas where wiring is present. Another way is to seal openings on protective coverings to keep gritty materials from entering.
**Extreme Temp: There are a variety of conditions that lead to extreme temperature buildup which can damage lighting and wiring. These include leaving a trailer's tail lights on when the trailer is backed up to a dock and air flow around the light is prohibited. When lights have been damaged from heat buildup, the lenses are often bubbled and misshapen. Where extreme temperatures can't be avoided, special heat-resistant wires and materials should be used.
**Tensile Loads: Wiring should not be considered an appropriate load-bearing component. It's easy to exceed the designed load limit by inadvertently installing wires under tension or snagging a section of wire on one of the moving parts. Using a wire bundle as a handhold or step can destroy the integrity of the conductor and connections. So can the weight of accumulated ice, snow, mud and other materials. Each of these points must be carefully considered when routing wires in a wiring harness.
**Flexing: There are many circumstances on a truck where the wiring must not only make sharp turns around corners, but is also subjected to constant flexing where doors or hoods are opened and closed repeatedly. To prevent damage where wires must be subject to repeated flexing, avoid tight radius turns. Make sure the wire is not snagged or stressed at its maximum extension. Also, make certain that the wire moves smoothly through its flexing cycle and doesn't rub or scrape adjacent components.

There are native terminal emulators for Wayland, no?
Screenshots would be nice.
Phoronix: Wayland Gets A Native Terminal Emulator
The latest achievement within the Wayland camp is wlterm, a native terminal emulator...
There are native terminal emulators for Wayland, no?
Screenshots would be nice.
from the mailing list:
You may wonder why wlterm is needed? There are several reason why I wrote it:
1) We need more independent clients written from scratch that try to
find bugs in the wayland-client API. If we use toytoolkit all the
time, we will probably not find them. wlterm draws its own decoration
and does not depend on any demo-code from the weston repository. So
its nice to check whether new weston features are working and how they
behave. The more independent implementations we have, the better
testing we get.
2) I use it to test the TSM library. TSM is a terminal-emulator state
machine that parses vt220/xterm control-sequences. It has no
dependencies at all and does not perform any rendering. It is solely
to parse and interpret CSI/OSC/etc. sequences. There is no such
library out there so I created TSM (which is already shared between
wlterm and kmscon). Other libraries like libvte have huge X, Gtk, Qt
etc. dependencies (sadly). And Kristian asked me whether it makes
sense to also share it with weston-terminal. Keep in mind that
weston-terminal does interpret only a small subset of xterm
escape-sequences and no-one really wants to maintain/develop a full
parser in weston-terminal (or is someone working on that?).
3) Get a proper and maintained emulator for weston. I intend to
maintain wlterm together with kmscon (but both will remain independent
from each other). So feel free to file bugreports, feature-requests or
happy-user-feedback. I am open to suggestions. But I am a horrible
designer so don't expect it to be fancy. I rather work on
functionality than on beautiful decorations. I will also keep the
"master" branch a "stable" branch so you can expect it to always work
and to contain no experimental features (no guarantee, though).
4) To get more insight into wayland protocol internals. As I am
working on man-pages for libwayland, I wrote the small fake-toolkit
from scratch to get a better feeling. I can recommend this to
everybody who wants to get more knowledge on how it works. And to
everybody who wants to contribute to the man-pages...
There is one in the "Downloads" section of wlterm:
Regardless of the reasons developers have for writing whatever it is their writing, and regardless of what it's intended to be used for, there seems to be this cancer in the Open-Source community about coming up with the worst possible names for things.
Now, we have another name that is difficult to remember, and distinguish from others. For example, we already had: eterm,xterm, xiterm, pterm, roxterm, kterm, uxterm, mlterm, fbterm, jfbterm, kxterm. Now we also have wlterm.
And we wonder why people have difficulty distinguishing between the various projects and packages... Come on guys, rather choose names like Guake, Konsole, Putty. Hell, call it Barbie if you want to. But, PLEASE, let's start moving away from this horrible convention of using acronyms to name things.
The acronym-ish names are getting REALLY annoying and just a pain to say in conversation (yes some FOSS users actually have to SAY these names not just type them where its easier) Konsole? Great name. Guake? Awesome. Yakuake? ....less awesome but atleast its not an acronym. Wine? An acronym but atleast you can say it in normal conversation.
Nice seems somewhat relative, and many would argue acronyms are used to help people remember. wl-term (wl = wayland, term = terminal) not that tough pretty simple (along with all the others), get over yourself. Obvioulsy you would have to make a complaint to the OpenSource marketing team ahead of such projects to chose a better name then what the developers do.. wait there isn't one, it's volunteer work.. huh

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
MPI has compiled in one easy-to-access location its key research and data resources on issues, policies, enforcement programs, and more that relate to the immigration reform debate underway in Washington.

It has more to do with making over 9000 different versions of Optimuses and Bumblebees while neglecting requested figures like LeaderClass DOTM Megs, Dino and cancelling that Voyager Jetwing Prime that actually looks cool. And stupid designs like Que, Wheelie and Brains.

The paint job might be imperfect, but the figure itself is pretty solid.

Hampton man may be freed on house arrest pending sex assault trial
Leonard Aldrich, 64, of Hampton, is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls and a boy, now age 7, between December 2010 and January 2012.
He is charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault. His trial begins in May.
Judge Marguerite Wageling lowered Aldrich's bail to $1,000 cash from $20,000 – contingent upon him being accepted into the Supervised Community Release from Incarceration Program.
The SCRIP program is a program operated by the corrections and sheriff's department. Aldrich would have to be approved for the program to be released.
Defense lawyer Patrick Fleming said that arrangements have been made through Aldrich's family that he could live in a Hampton home and abide by conditions that he have no contact with victims or witnesses in the case.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued for keeping Aldrich jailed, citing concerns that the county had no way to supervise him.
Wageling declared a mistrial during the second day of Aldrich's trial when it was revealed the defense did not have access to all documents from the state's Division of Children, Youth and Families concerning the alleged abuse.
Hampton police arrested Aldrich last Jan. 29.

Henrietta Lacks was a poor African-American migrant from the tobacco farms of Virginia who died in 1951 of cancer at the age of 30. A sample of her cancerous tissue, taken without her knowledge -- as was the custom then -- turned out to provide scientists one of the most important tools in medicine. Intimate in feeling, astonishing in scope, and impossible to put down, the story of Henrietta Lacks captures the beauty and drama of scientific discovery, as well as its human consequences.

Introduction / History
Ethnic Bulgarians trace their history to the late 7th century, when the Bulgars, a central Asian Turkic people, and the Slavs, a central European people, merged to form the first Bulgarian kingdom in what is now northeastern Bulgaria. In the following centuries, they struggled with the Byzantine Empire for control of the Balkans, only to be overrun by Ottoman Turks towards the end of the 14th century. Northern Bulgaria attained autonomy in 1878 and the entire country of Bulgaria became independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1908.
After fighting on the losing side of both World Wars, Bulgaria fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a People's Republic in 1946. Communism fell in 1990, and Bulgaria began moving towards political democracy and a market economy while combating inflation, unemployment, corruption and crime. Bulgaria joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 2004 and the European Union (EU) in 2007.
Where Are they Located?
Just over 6 million ethnic Bulgarians live in the Eastern European country of Bulgaria, representing the great majority of the population. Bulgaria is a mountainous country, which is bordered by Romania to the north, the Black Sea to the east, Turkey and Greece to the south, and Macedonia and Serbia to the west. Because of this, Bulgaria controls significant land routes between the rest of Europe and the Middle East and Asia.
Over 1.2 million ethnic Bulgarians live outside of the country of Bulgaria, a significant percentage of which are recent emigrants to Western Europe and North America. Part of this diaspora consists of ethnic Bulgarians who permanently emigrated in the early 1990's after the fall of communism, while more recent emigration may be more temporary in nature. Nonetheless, Bulgaria has a negative net migration rate.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Ethnic Bulgarians living in Bulgaria are experiencing a number of significant changes. An aging population, declining birth rates, emigration and a growing focus on consumerism is stretching, stressing and redefining Bulgarian families. At the same time, urbanization is merging rural and urban cultures in major cities – nearly one in four Bulgarians now live in the capital city Sofia – making cities more congested, less green and more complicated than before. There is also significant societal tension between men and women (as seen in domestic violence, human trafficking and workplace inequalities), and between the super rich and other Bulgarians. Furthermore, orphans and physically and mentally disabled people tend to be marginalized.
Economically, a new middle class is being bombarded by advertising and discovering consumer credit, choice and the novelty of shopping for fun rather than necessity. In the major cities, teenagers and young adults congregate at shopping malls, creating and reinforcing a prominent role for consumerism in Bulgaria's future generations. Nonetheless, overbuilding, emigration and long-standing corruption stand between most ethnic Bulgarians and economic stability.
Politically, the European Union is by and far the strongest external influence, and the Bulgarian government's difficulties in complying with new EU regulations are used as a scapegoat for many internal problems. Beyond that, the rule of law is still a work in progress, as seen in unequal application of the law, limits on freedom of the press, and corruption. This in turn contributes to a lack of trust in institutions and leaders, which in turn undermines Bulgarian society. Finally, the shadow and mindset of communism remains in Bulgaria, impacting social and economic trends.
What Are Their Beliefs?
The Bulgarian people have been Orthodox Christians since 865 A.D. However, the political and cultural dimensions Bulgaria's Orthodox Christianity have typically been more prominent than the spiritual ones. This was true from the beginning, as the Bulgarian king's decree of mass conversion to Christianity was motivated by favorable trading and international relationships. During the almost 500 years under the Ottoman Empire, the Orthodox Church continued to be a primary means by which Bulgarians maintained their cultural identity. Even under communism, the Orthodox Church remained a strong cultural anchor for ethnic Bulgarians.
Today, most ethnic Bulgarians identify themselves as Orthodox Christians, even to the degree that Orthodoxy is seen as an indivisible part of their cultural identity. However, while religious holidays and saint-days are prominent aspects of the culture, regular church attendance is extremely low. Religious syncretism is common, drawing together aspects of Christianity, animism, and the occult. Non-Orthodox ethnic Bulgarians include Catholics and Protestants, each representing a slight percentage of the population.
What Are Their Needs?
Ethnic Bulgarians' biggest felt need is for economic security. This is fueling both urbanization and emigration, as people increasingly relocate to larger cities inside and outside of the country in search of work. While some find it, however, many ethnic Bulgarians remain chronically un- or under-employed. This compounds other stresses, especially for families raising children and caring for grandparents.
The even greater need, however, is for people to know and follow God through His Son Jesus Christ. Very few of ethnic Bulgarians are active in the life of a church, whether Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant. This spiritual vacuum is being filled with consumerism, folk religion and other barriers to the Gospel. Meeting this need will have a positive visible impact on Bulgarian culture in the present, and saving value into eternity.
Prayer Points
God is at work among ethnic Bulgarians, and He continues to do so through His Church. However, many ethnic Bulgarians have been unimpressed – if not alienated – by evangelistic methods that appear foreign and overly aggressive. Therefore, please pray that:
* Every Bulgarian regularly witness Christians living in joyful obedience to Jesus Christ, and that these changed-life testimonies would communicate the Gospel with a greater and more compelling clarity than various evangelistic methods have so far achieved;
* Bulgarian Christians develop culturally relevant church and church-planting models to reach the "new Bulgarians" - the middle class, families, and middle-aged and younger adults; and
* Bulgarian Christians better understand the significant societal changes that are already occurring, and that they would anticipate and participate in these changes in order to more effectively carry out the Church's mission.

Translator Daniel Hahn, one of the judges for this year's International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, whose shortlist was revealed today, wonders why it's one of very few awards that allows the submission of fiction in translation.
As the first of new series of interviews with translators, in partnership with literature and human rights organisation English PEN, we present an interview with Sam Garrett, whose latest translation from Dutch is Tommy Wieringa's These Are the Names.
Suzanne Dean, Creative Director at Random House, reveals how she devised the cover for Robert Douglas-Fairhurst's new account of the creation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its eccentric author, Lewis Carroll.
