...WAAS Update This year AEC created an amendment to the WAAS STC for the EC-145. The existing commercially developed EC-145 STC for WAAS implementation modified an aircraft with dual Garmin GNS-430 VOR/LOC/COM/GPS units, a DM 451 Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) system, and dual FCDM/SMD-45 systems. The final configuration for this aircraft allows Single Pilot/Dual Pilot Instrument Flight Rules (SP/DPIFR) with NMS1-2 switching capable of GPS display on either FCDM/SMD-45 system. The specific aircraft that was used for the initial STC work had several items of equipment that were installed outside of the Type Certificated option choices. As a result, the aircraft pre-modification configuration for the prototype installation of the STC was very different from the Type Certificated options pre-modification configuration. The revision of the STC to account for the configuration differences is required in order to allow for a broader aircraft serial number applicability baseline. A large number of MBB-BK 117C-2 aircraft serial numbers have no provisions for display of the #1 GPS on the FCDM/SMD-45 systems since the NMS1-2 switching option was not installed in these aircraft. The baseline MBB-BK 117C-2 aircraft GPS system status annunciator location are not within the primary field of view of the flight crew as defined in FAA guidance material. This has important implications to be detailed later in this document. There are further issues with the certification basis and physical...

Susanne Zuehlke and Gianni De Stefano* Block exemptions; Concerted practices; EC law; Motor industry; Vertical agreements The motor vehicle sector, in particular the distribution of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, spare parts and repair services, is subject to a specific block exemption, Regulation 1400/2002 (the motor vehicle block exemption), which is due to expire on May 31, 2010.1 Following a review launched in mid-2007, the European Commission (the Commission) adopted a Communication on July 22, 2009 to set out the basic policy orientations for the future legal framework that should apply to motor vehicle distribution and aftersales services agreements after the expiry of the motor vehicle block exemption. Currently, the motor vehicle sector is subject to a specific competition law regime which deviates from the general rules applicable to supply and distribution agreements. In particular, the motor vehicle block exemption provides for rules that are stricter than those provided in the general vertical block exemption, Regulation 2790/1999...

...Partnering with Industry for a Computer Science and Engineering Capstone Senior Design Course Ken Christensen[1], Dewey Rundus1, and Zornitza Genova Prodanoff1 1 2 Abstract A capstone design course is an important component of the senior year curriculum for engineering students and plays a key role in achieving departmental ABET EC 2000 outcomes. In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida, we have partnered with industry to have students work in teams on industry-contributed “real world” projects. Industry partners contribute projects, mentor students, give a guest lecture, and provide the opportunity for students to present their project at the industry site. Students work on projects in teams and are given milestones and schedules to follow. The milestones include formal requirements, specifications and design, prototype demonstration, test plan, and final project delivery and presentation. The final presentation includes a project demonstration, user documentation, press release, and a poster that is permanently displayed in the department seminar room. The course includes formal lecture and reading assignments on the development process. A midterm exam covers these topics. Soft topics include discussions on working in teams. Our industry partners stress the importance of students being able to work well in teams. We hope that our experience can serve as a guide for other engineering departments considering...

...EC-OMB Corruption Prevention Project Integrity Development Review of the Department of Agrarian Reform Executive Summary The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), now called Department of Land Reform, was created by virtue of Republic Act 6389 signed into law on September 10, 1971. It is the lead implementing agency of the government’s Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). It undertakes land tenure improvement, development of beneficiaries, land surveys in resettlement areas, land acquisition and distribution and delivery of support services to farmer beneficiaries. Ten dimensions were assessed under the Integrity Development Review Project namely, Leadership, Code of Conduct, Gifts and Benefits Policy, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, Performance Management, Whistleblowing, Internal Reporting and Investigation, Corruption Risk Management, and Interface with the External Environment. The assessment provided a thorough diagnosis of corruption vulnerability and resistance, availability of control mechanisms and the effectiveness of existing systems. Agency strengths include compliance to minimum standards of laws pertinent to corruption prevention except for Gifts and Benefits and Whistleblowing and Internal Reporting, which are both fairly new concepts being integrated into government systems. The agency has a fairly high rating for Human Resources Management as it has achieved level of enforcement of policies required in this dimension. For Performance...

Asia. Latin America, and many other parts of the world. UNITED STATES * Influences on Accounting Development:In many ways, accounting in the United States and United Kingdom is very similar as might be expected given the importance of the historical and investment connections between the two countries. Just as the language and legal system were exported from the United Kingdom to the United States. | Cont.The securities markets are the dominant influence on accounting regulation in the United States. Dealings in securities and investor protection are regulated and enforced at the federal government level under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which were passed in response to the stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent financial crises. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was established with the legal authority to enforce the securities...
