This seems like a stupid question, but I can't get the on screen keyboard working in Boxee. For example, if it doesn't recognize a video, you have the option to enter in the show name, so it pops up a dialog with on screen keyboard. However, I can't navigate anyway. Cursor stays on text box, and I can't move it to click on any of the letters on the keyboard.
I'm using:
Boxee: 0.9.5.4497
Machine: Mac Mini
Remote: Apple Remote (the one that came with the mini)
I'm also have Remote Buddy installed on the machine so that it is easy to launch Boxee.
Thanks in advance for the help

Dear Budget Fashionista,
I really need your help. Even though I wear a size 12, I have VERY wide calf (plus size- about the size of someone who wears a size 16 to 18). I would love to be able to to find a stylish pair of wide calf boots to wear this winter. Help!
Answer: This is a common problem facing many women- not just size plus size women. Muscle-bound fashionistas also have a hard time finding wide boots that fit their calves.
How to Find Wide Calf Boots
I believe that having shapely, feminine legs is totally a good thing, but I also know that having wide calfs can be a major pain. Skinny jeans don't fit right, and worst of all, it's tough to find a pair of boots that fit without cutting off your circulation. Here are a few pointers on finding boots to fit your wide calfs:
1. Have your feet and calves accurately measured to ensure a proper fit. And yes, you can have your calves measured.
2. Try on the boots with what you'll be wearing them with most often. If you plan on pairing yours with jeans, wear your skinnies while you shop. If you want to dress them up with tights and a skirt, step into the store wearing that outfit.
3. Don't be afraid to shop online, as many retailers and designers offer a plethora of wide calf boots at great prices. Just make sure the description says "wide calf" and make sure to check the description to see the circumference of the boot shaft (look for shafts of 15 inches+). n Don't just guess based on the photo.
4. A shoemaker may be able to stretch a leather boot an inch or two for added comfort, but don't buy one that doesn't get over your calf in hopes of a cobbler making it fit. You should already be able to get the boot on and zip it up, but a professional can give you a more comfortable fit.

Thomas MacEntee at geneabloggers.com has posted an interesting reflection ("The RootsTech Revolution – Woodstock or Waterloo?") on the aftermath of RootsTech. Thomas raises an important question: will our Woodstock ("A bend in the road. A light in the tunnel. A happening") become our Waterloo (not working "on our action plans, our methods of implementing what was learned [to turn] these concepts into actual products and services")?
I did not attend RootsTech, but have been interested in the many, many blogs about the event and its effect on our genealogical sub-culture. Thomas MacEntee's post has caused me to reflect on what I see happening as a result of RootsTech. I would agree that RootsTech seems to have been a demarcation point for contemporary genealogy. I would describe the demarcation as being almost a paradigm shift.
Since I began blogging just over a year ago, there has been a rising tide of change in the genealogy world – the number of bloggers listed on Genealbloggers.com has almost doubled… FamilySearch has radically shifted its profile as it continues to roll out a new web presence… Ancestry.com continues to grow by acquiring subsidiary firms, as well as the public offering of its stock… "Who Do You Think You Are?" has become a Friday night success in the US, now well into its second season… BetterGedcom has brought genealogy practitioners together with genealogy technologists to seek an improved standard for sharing genealogical information… there are increasing numbers of websites designed to help genealogists publish their family trees (with increased security)…
It seems to me that the tension in genealogy has been between those who control access to genealogical information (Ancestry.com; Footnote.com; previous incarnation of FamilySearch; etc.] and the genealogical practitioner – from professional genealogists and family historians to hobbyists (who range from those mildly interested in tracing family lineages to those who have been bitten by the genealogy virus bug).
Computer operating systems face a similar tension. Microsoft Windows and Apple OS are top-down systems that have developed because the developers "know" what the user "needs." Microsoft and Apple have each gone their own separate ways, developing their own protocols and keeping their proprietary operating systems – that is, they control the system and sell it to you. Developers of the software that runs within those systems must follow the protocols of the operating system. The software programs that are developed for Microsoft and Apple are proprietary and usually must be purchased.
There do exist alternatives to MSWindows and AppleOS. These are radically different alternatives because they are Open Source systems, not proprietary ones. The open source system best known to me is the Linux operating system. I am not a computer programmer and I do not know programming code, but I have turned to Linux as my operating system of choice because it is open source. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source) includes the following statement about open source development: "A main principle and practice of open source software development is peer production by bartering and collaboration." In the open source community "peers" may include corporate officers, program developers, vendors, and users. As a user my input (together with that of other users and developers, etc.) has brought about changes in Linux operating systems and software programs that run within those systems. Oh, Yes! Another nice thing about open source systems and software programs is that they tend to be free.
I think that the success of RootsTech is evidence that the genealogical practitioner is now a vital player (not just a consumer) in the continuing development of genealogy protocol and services. While FamilySearch still is basically a top-down service, it has become much more responsive to open source "bartering and collaboration." This was best evidenced by the shift from an earlier abandoning of the gedcom standard to the announcement at RootsTech that FamilySearch will be reviewing and updating the gedcom standard. The basic question to be resolved is "Will the review and updating include broad-based input and involvement by the community of genealogical practitioners. Another way to ask the question: "Will the work of the BetterGedcom group (organized, as I understand it, primarily by genealogical practitioners) be taken into account in any updating (or replacement) of gedcom standards by FamilySearch, FamilyTreeMaker, Legacy, RootsMagic, et al?
So, it seems to me that the genealogical 'world' is moving toward a better balance between the top-down providers (vendors and data providers) and the bottom-up practitioners (genealogists and family historians). One important implication of this movement toward "bartering and collaboration" is that, if we expect to attract more younger genealogists, the field of genealogy will have to continue to move toward more collaboration. Social networking is part of such a move. Giving practitioners a greater voice in accessing and processing vital genealogical information is another part of such a move. Let's hope that we have begun that move in a significant way – a way that will not be reversed.

'Take a Step' for Fairtrade… that's the message this Fairtrade Fortnight (27th February - 11th March 2012).
This year's campaign will encourage people in the UK to engage with the Fairtrade Foundation's vision of an even bigger movement for positive change on unfair trade, including making the switch to buying Fairtrade… and here in Caerphilly we're supporting this campaign too!
This year, The Fairtrade Foundation is challenging members of the public to take a step in the right direction. Thinking about what they can do throughout 2012 will help make a difference to the lives of farmers in the developing world who produce the products they buy.

Research Interests
Richard's research interests cover theoretical and political aspects of the relationship between public policy and sustainable development, with particular reference to land use planning, public participation, policy integration and renewable energy. His current work focuses on sustainability and planning reform in England; the relationship between devolution in the British state and the delivery of renewable energy; spatial planning and renewable energy; and community benefits from wind energy development.
BA Hons Geography, Cambridge University, (1990)
PhD, (1995)
Career Profile
Prior to arriving at Cardiff, Richard completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the Department of Geography, Cambridge University. Whilst there, he worked as a researcher for the UK Centre for Economic and Environmental Development (UK CEED). Since arriving at the School of City and Regional Planning Richard has held appointments as a Research Fellow (1996-2000), Lecturer (2000-2005), Senior Lecturer (2005-2011) and Reader (2011 to present).
In 2010, Richard was appointed as the Course Director for the MSc in Sustainability Planning and Environmental Policy (SPEP).
From September 2012, he became the Cardiff coordinator for the international Masters PLANET Europe (MSc in European Spatial Planning and Environmental Policy).
Awards and Prizes
Richard's work on sustainability and planning led to him being engaged by the RTPI to produce think piece for them on the subject (referenced as Cowell 2004). In 2009 he was a joint winner of the RTPI Teaching Excellence Award for the innovative teaching and learning methods used in module CPT737 Sustainability in Practice (with Dr Jon Anderson).
Memberships / External Activities
Editor, Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning (2005-2012).
Member of Editorial Board for Planning Theory and Practice (2007-present).
Teaching Profile
Richard teaches on the following modules at the School of City and Regional Planning:
- Introduction to Spatial Planning (first year undergraduates)
- Contemporary International Planning (final year undergraduates)
- Planning for Sustainability (MSc SPEP, PLANET Europe)
- Environmental Behaviours (MSc SPEP, PLANET Europe)
Richard's main current research project is Delivering renewable energy under devolution, a two year research project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (RES-062-23-2526). The aim of the proposed study is to assess the impacts of devolution in the UK on the provision of renewable energy, addressing in particular the following questions:
- To what extent has devolution affected the provision of renewable energy, in terms of the ways in which the devolved administration have formulated policy objectives, adjusted the choice, nature and settings of policy instruments, and influenced the delivery of new renewable energy capacity?
- To what extent have the devolved institutions made different use of the powers and capacities for promoting renewable energy bequeathed to them by the devolution process, and how might we explain any tendencies towards divergence or convergence?
- What lessons can be drawn for institutional design in the effective delivery of renewable energy from the experiences of governments across the UK to date?
The study runs for two years, from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2012. The research is conducted as a four-way partnership, involving the School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University (Dr Richard Cowell), Queens University Belfast (Dr Geraint Ellis), Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen (Professor Peter A Strachan) and the University of Birmingham (Dr David Toke).
Richard is also completing a think piece project for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, examining the relationship between Wind energy and justice for disadvantaged communities, focusing on the role of community benefits.

B A+F Athletics: The gym, know as The Foy on campus is great! Its not only used by athletes but also by other students and people in the community.
D A+F Athletics: This past season, our football team was not very successful. The only game I attended, people were barely cheering for the team and just acting like it was a big social event. Several people were barely even paying attention to the game. It is kind of sad that we can't even support and encourage our football team.
B A+F Athletics: Fan support is good. Our teams are not best but it is still fun to go to the games and support the teams.
A+ A+F Athletics: We have wonderful training and workout facilities, including our own trainers, psychologists, and academic advisers. IM sports are pretty huge, too, because anyone can play.

John Habib's City Sports: Little interest, no team for once-proud Jutras
A four-time state champion, Jutras had only seven players show up for tryouts this week, and any hope of picking up players cut by neighboring posts — including the two others in the Queen City, Sweeney Post 2 and Manchester Post 79 — went by the board when those teams had just enough players show up to put together a lineup with a few reserves.
Jutras Post had 16 players on its roster last season, Parents said, but six of those players no longer are age-eligible. Others from last year's team simply didn't return.
Those eligible to play for Jutras included residents of the Manchester High West school district and players cut by other teams. The drop in athletics participation at West — attributable mainly to the opening of a town high school in Bedford, which previously sent its secondary students to West — appears to have had an affect on Jutras Post, as well.
"That's all we can do: wait and see," he said. "We've already told the seven players who came to the tryouts that we're willing to sign the papers and release them to other teams. We're not going to deny those seven players of playing baseball just because we don't have enough players to field a team."Paul Lemire, athletics director of Sweeney Post, and Eddie Poisson, coach of Post 79, were saddened to hear the Jutras program will be idle this season.
"I graduated from West, coached football and girls' basketball there for over 20 years," he said. "It's a great school with so much tradition and pride. Making West strong makes the city strong again. Making West strong again means — and I'm not just talking about American Legion baseball — the (city) sports programs across the board become stronger."
TRINITY principal Denis Mailloux said this week that before hiring Chip Polak as the school's new athletics director, he asked about an investigation into alleged financial improprieties at Polak's former place of employment, Southern New Hampshire University, where Polak was athletics director for 27 years.
"Having Chip join our team is a big plus for us," Mailloux continued. "We look forward to the quality of leadership he will bring to the program. We're thrilled not only with his experience but with his standing in the community. We know that the Trinity athletics program is definitely an onward-and-upward matter and that Chip will bring a lot of fine qualities to the position."
THE MANCHESTER school board's Athletics Committee has posted the position of city athletics director as full-time, with a salary range of $69,530.39-$74,862.60. Current AD Dave Gosselin will step down from his part-time job, at an annual salary of $37,000, on June 30.
FOR THE 33rd straight summer, the New Hampshire All-Star Basketball School will be open to boys and girls ages 8-16 at SNHU. Men's basketball coach Stan Spirou and longtime assistant Jay Dufour will lead the instruction, with a staff familiar to followers of the local high school and college basketball scenes.
"We're not going to turn these young kids into great basketball players in a week or two," said Spirou. "Our goal at our school is for each kid to pick up one or two fundamental things and continue to improve upon them over a period of time."
"The biggest weakness I see, which we work on at our school, is the kids' ability to pass the ball," said Spirou. "The first day in camp, the first thing most kids do is go behind the (3-point) arc and fire up shots. Kids today love shooting the 3-point shot, but that's not the first thing we teach."
"Dribbling, passing and sharing the ball are essential to learn at a young age," he said. "If you can master those basics at an early age, your game will improve dramatically. I often have said that the greatest compliment you can give a player is to tell them they make the other players on the floor better. You do that by learning and mastering the basics."

It was their first time in Greece, the first time I saw them live.
It was my first time in a concert that I never stoped dancing for 2 hours, it was so simple but by the same time complicated, it was uplifting and deep, sexy and trance, it was a full experience. And when I heard the lyrics from day by day, with this unique passionate expression that only Femi has, I started crying, but it was an optimistic feeling.
There are so many things I want to say now about the motherland, the western world, the fights, the politicians. But I stand to Femi Kuti and his partners.
Africa must be very proud of them, Fela must be very proud of them and it's a hopeful sign for humanity that people still create, not only gadgets and rubbish, but art, that is speaking for the simpliest things that miss in our world: freedom, peace, equality, joy and love.
Thank you Femi, thank you Africa, we owe you.

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4")
KristiS. F. CaliforniaThe Best Thing I Have Ever BoughtMy hairstylist used this iron on my hair a few times and I was amazed at how shiny it made my hair. So I decided to get one. Turned out this is the best thing i have ever bought! It is affordable, well worth it for the silk and shine that comes to your hair. I LOVE it and highly recommend this to any one who wants shiny smooth hair!!posted Aug 10, 2004Link to this post
JaniceVancouver, BCMy Hair Wasn't Stick StraightMy hair is pretty thin and its not really curly but after i wash it and it dries it becomes so frizzy and big and wavey. This hair straightener is pretty good. I ordered it on Thursday night and got it on Monday and I was so excited. I have a Ceramic hair straightner that was about 100 dollars canadian and it was pretty good for about a year. My hair never got that straight though so I looked online for a new one that would make my hair super straight. This one sounded pretty good so i bought it, my hair gets really straight with this straightener but after 30 minutes it starts to curl in at the ends and my hair has a little bit of a wave again. Its not as great as I thought it would be but I guess if you have really curly and thick hair it will straighten it out and make it less big and puffy.posted Jul 29, 2004Link to this post
JessicaSacramento, CaliforniaNow I Have The Hair I Want Every Day!I finally found the flat iron that Ive been looking for! Its fantastic and my hair is smooth and straight in a matter of a few minutes! My wavy hair used to be a pain to straighten with a blow dryer etc. but now I can leave it air dry and it only takes 5 minutes to straighten with this iron! The only time my hair looked this good and straight is when the stylist straighten it at the salon. Now I have the hair I want every day!posted Jul 14, 2004Link to this post
KarenAvon, ConnecticutStraight And GlossyMy hairdresser intorduced me to the Solia flatiron and I was amazed at how well it worked. My hair is straight and glossy and it is a lot less damaging to the hair than other flat irons. Some unique things I enjoy about this iron are the European and light-weight style and the rounded plate edges (which are almost as good as a curling iron!). It does get very hot though so watch out that you dont burn yourself!posted Jun 30, 2004Link to this post
Lisa CraigLoving It.My hair is shoulder-length, it is really wavy. I had tried many, many flat irons: babyliss, FHI, hot tools, HAI and conair. None of them compare to Solia. It turns your hair stick straight and adds shine. It is really easy to use and the size is just perfect for my hair length. I am in love with it!posted Jun 22, 2004Link to this post
JerriPalestine, TexasAbsoulutly Straight....WOW!!! This is the best iron that I have ever used for my medium hair it is wonderful its like a dream come true my hair is absoulutly straight....posted Jun 20, 2004Link to this post
EllenRedmond, WashingtonBetter That The ChiSolia was definitely worth the money. I wasnt sure about spending so much, but the first time I used it I knew it was worth it. The size is perfect...wide enough to do my long thick hair, but also narrow enough to use it on my bangs. Plus, the temperature control is great. It works better that the Chi.posted Jun 7, 2004Link to this post
DebAlpine, WyomingThis Flat Iron Rules!!!Solia leaves your hair smooth and straight!! It takes away the frizz too! BUY IT! You will not regret it.posted May 15, 2004Link to this post
CarolPhoenix, ArizonaGreat Straightening IronThis is the first ceramic iron I have ever bought, and it is by far the best straightening tool I have ever used.posted May 12, 2004Link to this post
Jamie HarmonGreat Product!!!Ive bought just about every type of flat iron in stores, and none worked. I read a review in a magazine and decided to give it a shot. A bit sceptical since it was 95.00, but Im extremely happy and it was money well spent!! Great product!posted May 8, 2004Link to this post

C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: cost is fair, however getting yoru financial aide taken care of is a nightmare, thankfully they changed staff hopefully they're more knowledgeable then the other person who was in that position.
D A+F Campus Resources: Again this is for the Phoenix campus-The staff in student resource center is alway too busy it seems to assist you, they're more into their sewing projects or their personal FB page, and their information is outdate, very outdated.
Campus Resources: our prorams are outdated and there is no wifi connection for student use, if we need to bring in an assignment to print off the student computer (one not plural) you have to save it under the older versions of the programs, i'm at the phoenix campus.
B- A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: May Be to Pricey – The price is quite. Bit but I guess they so have great teachers and a great program
A A+F Overall Experience: I Love Going to School – The only thing I would change is how they first teach you. They just throw you directly into hands on. I would rather take a few days to learn first but school here is great
A+ A+F Career Services: The career services staff does whatever they can to get people out and in a job. They work they're hardest to make sure that everyone has what they need (money, transportation, etc.) to succeed in school and after graduation. They constantly come and talk to us about how to start our own businesses and how to launch our careers out in the real world. I couldn't ask for any better! I absolutely love them.
A+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The Financial Aid department at UCMT is awesome at explaining all of their policy's and procedures. Even though I've never pulled out a loan before, they made sure that I understood exactly what I was doing so that there would be no confusion. I am up to date with my payments, thanks to them, and don't think I'll ever have a problem paying of my loan. They are always there to help!
A+ A+F Overall Experience: Extremely Happy With My Decision – Utah College of Massage Therapy has an amazing faculty and staff who are always ready when you need them. They are great at making you feel like the campus is your second home. Thee classes are small so you get a lot of one-one-one time with the teachers, who are always genuinely concerned with the students and their progress. I've learned more than I could have hoped for and I wish I could stay longer! I'm so happy with my decision.

Yes, and G-Tech has a 2-drive 8TB model coming any day now too. But they're using consumer drives and while I love both CalDigit and G-Tech, I've had my share of problems with their "cheaper" hardware. I stick by those two companies because they have excellent customer support, even when they do release a dud product.
I don't see anyone using those new 4TB drives in anything bigger than a 2-drive config. They don't have the performance or reputation to justify their use just yet.
Yeah they tried to up the price on me mid delivery on an R6 while I already plopped down more than the deposit called for. Crazy. Then they delayed it hoping I would cancel the order. It was strange but I love Promise, and Maxx Digital Drives are amazing great service.
Pricing on the Promise units going up wasn't entirely their fault, it coincided with the HDD makers ramping up prices and citing the flooding in Thailand as an excuse. B&H has the 12TB R6 for $2145 w/ free shipping right now and that's the best deal I know of out there. Unfortunately, It's still about $225 more than what I paid for mine when they were first released....
I have a R6 12TB. There tech people told me 2 R4s in raid 0 would be faster then 1 R6. So I got 2 and they were wrong did not work any faster then just one.
They did get me to some one better I hope. He told me if I did all SSDs it would be faster and that would not void the warranty on the unit.
I did ask about 3TB & 4TB they told me it would work buy I would not do it any way. I will stick to enterprise HDDS from hitachi or seagate enterprise.
Now hitachi is a Western Digital company hope they don't mess it up.
Trying seagate's thunderbolt desk top dock seems nice. I used 2 3TB raid 0 in disk utility and it more then doubled the speed vs just one.
Same idea and way LaCie does it with the Little Big Disk. Chain them together, the higher performance you get.
Now I am looking at 6G SAS Expander.
there are 4bay 8bay and big 16bay.
An idea would be when you don't need to be mobile use a 16 or more bay and use a express thunderbolt pcie expansion chassis with a SAS card.
For a iMac or macbook pro.
In less the mac pro is up dated and can really out do a iMac.
Still SAS can do more then thunderbolt.
G-Tech had a "Now with enterprise drives" sticker on their images. Did they change that?
They seem to be using 4TB drives in the OWC raids now. For a while only the 5400rpm. Now all 7200rpm though.
To give you an idea - I wound up paying what they quoted me, 1750 USD> so you can see why this smells a little funny since the flooding is all but gone. Have their drives not dried up yet? Or are they just going to keep priced pat because well, they figured out they underpriced themselves. Not a very nice thing to do.
Don't know... But the "enterprise" class of the 3TB Hitachi drives have been all but non-existent. They have not announced, let alone shipped, any 4TB "enterprise" class drives. But G-Tech is unique in a way as they are owned by Hitachi and often tend to get new drive offerings before the rest of the market. Last I saw the "enterprise" banner, it seemed the fine print indicated it was only for configs using 2TB and smaller HDDs.
Doesn't just smell funny, it smells like complete BS. I think it's really crappy that Promise tried to raise the price on you and screw with the order (as I'm assuming you ordered direct from them?). As for the whole HDD shortage thing, it's a pile of steaming BS. HDD makers have jacked up prices nearly a year ago and keep hiding behind the excuse of the Thai flooding. Which actually didn't affect any supply in the market other than a few select models and warehouse stock. HDD makers control the pricing, Promise buys from them like any other integrator or PC vendor. Large customers like Apple, HP, Dell, etc.. never really altered HDD pricing through all this. The Asian markets never fluctuated pricing. And yet North American and Euro markets did and we get excuses over shortages. And even some distributors trying to restrict purchase quantities, but yet there hasn't been any real identifiable shortages so to speak and while the drives have been harder to get here in the states for end users, that seems to be the extent of it. IMO, the whole thing is a complete scam. Especially now that everything has returned to normal "over there" and yet pricing hasn't fallen back down to prior levels.
I think another factor in this is the SSD market. SSD storage is placing increased pressure on HDD makers and the only two factors that HDD makers have in their favor at this point is the pricing and capacity. They're about to lose the capacity advantage within the next 12 to 18 months, so it seems they're going to push the prices up while they can. As long as SSDs are still 3 to 5 X more expensive per GB, they can still pretend HDDs are a bargain. People are fickle and will soon forget that a 1TB HDD used to be $55.
You kind Sir, are correct, in the middle of an order from them. Yes, you are much nicer and stated what I could not much better with far fewer curse-words than I did, and would. Promise is great yet they are actually not maximizing their earning potential because they are stubborn. Oh 'EFF!' Well!

Wait - Zerilli says he wasn´t involved with Hoffa or the mafia.But he was in jail on a conviction of "illegal operations" concerning a casino in Las Vegas, and that´s his alibi.And yet he claims to know where Hoffa is buried?

Yeah, right.....I read a book a few years ago - a biography of a Teamsters Union enforcer who was part of Hoffa´s inner circle. He claimed before he died that HE killed Hoffa, and his body was taken to a funeral home where it was cremated. It was pretty believable. Among other things, he said that only a friend of Hoffa´s could have gotten close enough to kill him, and he was a friend of Hoffa.Nuttin´ personal; just business. Click Here if you Like this Comment

"This year, the AAIFF10 looks especially forward to bringing several Southeast Asian films to our audience," states Martha Tien, Program Manager of the AAIFF10. "Southeast Asia has such a dynamic cinematic community, but its movies still tend to be underrepresented in most film festivals."
Red, considered to be a pioneer of contemporary Filipino cinema, will be in attendance after the screening for a special Q+A session. Other Southeast Asian selections include Malaysian filmmaker Yuhung Ho's dramatic feature At the End of Daybreak and Thai director Kongkiat Khomsiri's thriller Slice.
In addition to the international titles, the AAIFF10′s programming also includes a strong pool of features from Asian American filmmakers including Filipino-American Gerry Balasta's Mountain Thief.

Harness Manufacturing Cost Analysis for OEMs and Suppliers
Technology Overview
Presenter: John JudkinsJohn's career in the electrical wiring systems domain spans over 25 years, beginning in software development with a UK-based automotive wire harness Tier 1. He became IS Systems Development manager before leaving to become a co-founder of Harness Software Limited (HSL), where he developed the original blueprint for Capital H software. HSL was acquired by Mentor Graphics in 2000.
John is one of the founding members of IESD and is a key contributor to the Capital vision and architecture.
Wire harnesses comprise a significant portion of overall EE system costs. In the search for competitive advantage both OEMs and suppliers must be able to calculate harness manufacturing costs quickly, systematically, and accurately. This session presents new software that intelligently combines harness design data with highly flexible manufacturing process models to create detailed cost calculations, while fully protecting intellectual property. This provides a firm basis for sourcing decisions, both for OEMs assessing suppliers' bids and for suppliers seeking optimal operations patterns.

Wed, May 07, 2003
We let you know, courtesy an ANN News-Spy, that Washington state is cracking down on scofflaw pilots, mechanics, and other FAA certificate-holders (with broad exceptions). Here's more of what's behind the move. We talked with the state's DoT, and got a lot of information from Ms. Theresa Smith:
"What the legislature recenty did -- last Sunday," she started, but then wanted us to know that, "We have 129 public-use airports; about 90 are solely dependent on state money to maintain them. We have 16 airports that we're at risk of losing, due to lack of funds. The pavement is failing -- they're becoming unusable."
The state will be in trouble if it loses these important aerial links -- and the DoT will take a lot of heat. There's a new director of the state's Transportation Department, and he's suddenly aware of how much trouble he'll be in, if a dozen or so airports close on his watch. The state doesn't have the funding to do the required repairs, repairs the old administrator apparently think were critical. So, now, it's a crisis.
"We have about a $7 million gap in funding for pavement, just to maintain our current pavement," Ms. Smith told us. "We have a new state DoT Director, who wants to make sure folks know of the pavement condition. We want our customers to let us know what to do." There are alternatives, but they're not pleasant. She explained, "'Doing nothing' is one of the decisions that can be made."
The new administration had to get right to it: "If we have facilities that are at risk, what are the funding sources; and can the community survive without medical, blood, pharmaceuticals, checks -- all the things that the communities need so badly," and that the airports support or provide. Washington is a big state, and it's largely sparsely populated. Its economy is also moving from mostly-agricultural, to manufacturing and services. Ms. Smith understands that: "The state has a lot of transitional economic activity, and the airports are critical to supporting that transition."
"The pilot community was polled in the last legislative session," she told us. "We increased the state tax on fuel, and it's variable. Six months ago, it was 7 cents, and it's now at seven and a half cents [a gallon]; it's not good to try plan budgets around [a variable tax]. With the desire to keep these facilities alive, we will soon -- July 1 -- we will have a 10 cent fuel tax. We'll still be way short of the millions needed."
Ms. Smith said that the burden isn't shared evenly, though. In fact, most of the heavy users -- those whose activity most impacts the repair bill -- are exempt from paying the tax! "Within Washington state," she noted, "95% of the fuel users -- just about everybody but small GA, are exempt from the 10 cent a gallon tax." We asked for an example. "Within a two-year period, 564 million gallons were exempt; 46 million gallons were taxed," she told us. Who's exempt? "Commercial service, farm, research, testing, and training -- and all government." Who causes the most wear and tear on airports? Um... light GA?
So now, there';s this move to hit FAA certificate holders with registration and an $8 registration fee, plus the tax for small operators is going up by 33%. How the heck did that happen? "What has happened -- it was the pilot community that called for stiffer penalties -- just 1/3 of pilots and 1/2 of the aircraft were registered." So nobody was collecting taxes and fees. "Part of that was poor communication on our part," Theresa admitted. It's getting better, though. As certificate-holders now face criminal penalties, and are allowed to pay by credit card, things look to be on the improve... "With the 'credit card' option, we're now at 45% of the population using it," she said.
We wanted to know just what 'pilot community' was pressuring the DoT to raise taxes and collect more fees. "The 'pilot community' was just 'those pilots who were registered,'" she explained, "just 1/3 of the pilots. We hooked up with the AOPA, Washington Pilots' Association, and the EAA -- they have remarkable networks." She thinks that, if pilots believe her organization, they will rush to put more money into the state's treasury: "All the increases will go directly to airport preservation. We are trying to prevent the loss of facilities," she pleaded.
A quick call to the AOPA, asking just why it seemed like a good idea to raise taxes on such a small percentage of Washington pilots, the very pilots AOPA best represents. The answer was that, since the state now promised to use aviation taxes to support aviation projects, it seemed like a good idea, somehow. We're waiting for an official position statement from AOPA, that explains why, after fifty+ years of collecting aviation taxes and neglecting aviation facilities, suddenly we should believe the government when it says the aviation tax increases are for our own good -- and most of the increases won't be collected from favored groups, anyway.
We kinda surprised EAA's Dick Knapinski, who didn't realize that the organization's name had been invoked in pursuit of higher fees from a lot of the EAA's members. He looked into it, and got back to us, when he found out what he needed to know about this program. "Whoever told you that EAA was 'in favor of a tax increase' was misinformed.," he told us. "Whatever was taken from aviation, should have gone to aviation. Additionally, we see a lot of exemptions -- 95% of the users are exempt, and many receive a tax rebate. They have to find some way to have an equitable burden. If you're a GA pilot out there, you're conflicted -- you may not want to pay any more tax, or fees -- or you might be glad to 'contribute' to airport maintenance. The question is, how will this be equitable, for all who use the airports? Will those 'exempt' entities, for instance, pay landing fees? How do you make it fair, across the board?" Getting back to basics, "Are we in favor of a tax or fee increase? No. Are we interested in how airports can be kept open? Absolutely."
In the meantime, Washingtonians, line up, register, pay your taxes -- and keep that credit card handy.

Develop a Global View: Study Abroad
Lawrence Tech offers a wide variety of opportunities for students looking to study abroad for a full semester or participate in other international experiences that range from one week to an entire summer. Study Abroad is a wonderful opportunity to explore a new country and a new culture. Many students take advantage of their extra time to also visit places outside of their host city or even host country.
Study abroad programs have expanded to include opportunities in Germany, France, England, Italy, and Mexico to name a few, as well as volunteer abroad opportunities. The university also hosts educational tours every summer to different countries around the world, sometimes for credit.
Going overseas for a summer term or a semester is the best way to develop as a leader with a global view. There is no better way to understand and appreciate the history, culture, and language of foreign society than to participate in an international experience opportunity.
