3M has successfully completed the NGV2-2007certification process for its first compressed natural gas (CNG) tank.
The 21.5 x 60 inch tank is designed for light- and medium-duty pick-up trucks and corporate fleet vehicles. 3M's tankcapitalizes on improvements in geometries and proprietary 3M Matrix Resin featuring nanosilica technology to deliver a solution that is lighter, offers greater capacity, and is more cost effective than similar tanks.
"We are enthusiastic about the future of natural gas vehicles and are proud to introduce this tank to help companies take advantage of the benefits of natural gas as a transportation fuel," said Mike Roman, Vice President of 3M's Industrial Adhesive & Tapes Division, home to 3M's advanced composites business. "With a tank that will help provide more range and more payload capacity at less expense, CNG vehicles are now an even more attractive alternative for fleet and individual retail customers alike."
The tank will be showcased at the NTEA Work Truck Show, March 6-8 in Indianapolis, Ind. 3M will be located at Booth #5658 at the Indiana Convention Center, in the event's "Green Pavilion."
Initially, tanks will be available through five approved upfitters with whom 3M is collaborating. These companies include OEM Systems of Okarche, Okla.; Venchurs Vehicle Systems of Adrian, Mich.; Alternative Fuel Solutions of Mahaffey, Penn.; AVS of Salt Lake City, Utah; and World CNG of Kent, Wash.
The successful certification follows the 2012 announcement by 3M and Chesapeake Energy Corporation that the two would collaborate in designing, manufacturing and marketing a broad portfolio of CNG tanks for use in all sectors of the United States transportation market. 3M expects to announce certification of other geometries in the coming months. Chesapeake is slated to become one of the first end users of the new 21.5 x 60 inch tank, which it will incorporate in its fleet vehicles.
Chesapeake is currently converting its fleet of nearly 5,000 vehicles to run on natural gas.
"The fuel tank has been the most expensive single component on a CNG vehicle, causing a bottleneck for the market," said Nathan Pumphrey, Chesapeake Director – Fleet Operations. "3M's tank portfolio will lower the total cost of natural gas vehicle ownership and speed market adoption. We look forward to incorporating these tanks into our fleet vehicles to save money on our conversions; and with CNG available for as little as $0.99 per gasoline gallon equivalent in some markets, we'll cut our fueling costs, too."
In line with a broader commitment to CNG, 3M has also begun working with its transportation providers to utilize CNG on trucks carrying 3M products. 3M has already implemented a pilot program with Dart Transit Company on dedicated routes, and anticipates others will follow. Because fueling with CNG reduces greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter, the move to natural gas-powered vehicles continues 3M's commitment to sustainability.

Yes, for fleets, the Colorado is fundamentally a truck, designed for a specific, utilitarian purpose, but Chevrolet also didn't forget the driver—hence it's the perfect melding of form and function.

Rightsizing is used almost synonymously with downsizing; however, just look at the two words and you can immediately see that they are not the same.

The majority of companies place new model-year orders according to set vehicle replacement parameters; however, projected improvements in economic conditions across almost all business segments bode well for 2015- and 2016-MY commercial fleet sales.
By Gary Lykins
Typically, a small fleet will have fewer people performing more duties, and that requires a staff that understands the magnitude of their responsibilities.

In the past few weeks, several veteran fleet managers have vented to me, voicing frustration with their directors' micromanaging fleet operations. Some of these requests and orders run contrary to best fleet practices and may even be politically motivated.

Jacqueline Wilson supports new schools web site
I loved reading when I was at school, frequently racing through a book a day, but my choice of books was rather hit and miss. I started off with Louisa M.Alcott's at the top of the shelf and worked my way round to Laura Ingalls Wilder's at the other end of the library room, never quite knowing what I was doing. I was always in a rush and there weren't even any comfy chairs in the library where you could curl up and browse. I often lugged books home to discover they weren't my cup of tea at all.
Lovereading4schools.co.uk would have been an enormous help! It's such an easy fun way to access heaps of suggestions for good reads. I love the way you can download extracts so you can see if a book appeals. It's great that each school can have its own Homepage for special favourite books. So many parents will enjoy being involved. It's a fantastic way to get as many children as possible to love reading!

Constitutional Litigation
This is a part doctrinal, part simulation course. The course is sometimes called "constitutional torts" or "civil rights litigation," reflecting its focus on one of the central ways in which constitutional claims are actually litigated: in lawsuits against public officials and local governments. The bulk of the course looks at litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We will consider topics such as what it means to act "under color of state law;" absolute and qualified immunities; government liability for the acts of individual officials; remedies for constitutional violations, including monetary and injunctive relief; and the remedial issue nearest and dearest to many lawyers' hearts: attorney's fees awards. Though we will learn the doctrine, we will do so with a focus on lawyering, both in a litigation context and in counseling clients in the shadow of litigation. A considerable amount of class time will be spent working in small groups on simulation and other exercises. Special Instructions: I ask that you limit laptop use to the classes in which we need them for simulation exercises. Elements used in grading: Class participation, written assignments, and final exam (30% class participation, 30% a 3-5 page memo involving research and due mid-quarter; 40% final exam. One-day take-home and open-book.)

Bomb in van explodes at rush hour Tube station
Kathy Marks
Kathy Marks is Asia-Pacific for The Independent, based in Sydney. She has also worked for Reuters and The Daily Telegraph.
Thursday 10 December 1992
The bomb, which police said was a small device, went off just after 6pm in the car park outside Woodside Park station in north Finchley.
Commander David Tucker, head of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch, said the bomb was planted inside a red Bedford 8cwt van registration PUC 728R. 'This van last changed hands about six weeks ago and police appeal to anyone who can assist with any useful information, particularly sightings of the van and any person connected with it.'
Scotland Yard said that a coded warning was given to the American Associated Press news agency about 45 minutes earlier by a caller who said he was from the IRA. Police evacuated scores of commuters from the station, located in a residential area, and cleared neighbouring roads. Some homes were evacuated, and about 40 children attending evening classes at a synagogue school about 20 yards from the station were led to safety.
The Tube station, situated about a mile from the Inglis Barracks at Mill Hill, where a soldier was killed and nine injured in a bomb explosion in August 1988, was searched for further devices as four crews from the London Fire Brigade stood by.
Three bombs exploded in Belfast yesterday; no one was hurt. In Londonderry, a man had both legs amputated after an IRA 'punishment shooting'. West Yorkshire Police became the third mainland force, after police in London and Manchester, to order armed roadblocks to combat the IRA.

A man-made bridge between two tall hills that began as a wonder to an ancient empire and now is turned into the final stand of a desperate kingdom.

These three things hold much mystery. What if you could harness their powers? Heh...

This was swiftly followed by an admission from the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, that a "psychological contract" has been broken between the police and the public when it comes to tackling troublemakers.

BERLIN — Germany's economy slipped into reverse in the last quarter of 2011 despite posting strong growth of 3 percent for the full year, the country's Federal Statistics Office said Wednesday, sparking fears that Europe's most important economy could be dipping into recession.
While the 2011 growth figure was as expected by analysts, the statistics office also said that the German economy likely contracted by 0.25 percent in the last quarter of 2011. The exact figure for fourth quarter growth is due only in mid-February and could be revised.
Joerg Kraemer, the chief economist for Commerzbank, expressed little surprise regarding the slowdown and told German news agency dapd he expected the economy to shrink in the first quarter of 2012 as well. That would put it in a recession, technically defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction.
Most recent economic indicators suggest 2012 will be a tough year, both for Germany and the rest of Europe.
"While the German economy grew very strongly in the last two years, this year's growth will be much lower, especially because of the crisis in the eurozone," Ferdinand Fichtner, the head of the DIW economic institute, said in a statement.
The country's annual growth rate was achieved in spite of the financial crisis in Europe which has other economies such as Greece, Spain and Italy struggling with huge debts and slumping output.
"The German economy again grew robustly in 2011," the statistics office, Destatis, said in a statement.
Germany's 2011 growth puts it in a small group of strongly performing eurozone countries, along with Finland, Austria, Slovakia, and Luxembourg. France should see more moderate growth of around 1.7 percent for the year, according to the International Monetary Fund, while output stagnates amid high unemployment in Spain and Italy, the recent focus of the debt crisis.
Greece and Portugal, bailed out to avoid default, are in deep recessions.
Germany should outperform the United States, which announces 2011 GDP data on Jan. 27; the IMF has estimated 1.6 percent for the year. The figure remains far short of emerging economies such as China, estimated at 9.5 percent, and India at 7.8 percent.
But it did help bring Germany's deficit down to only 1 percent of gross domestic product, well below the limit of 3.0 percent enshrined in the eurozone's rules.
Germany's strongest growth was seen in the first six months of the year, when consumer spending rose 1.5 percent — the biggest increase in five years.
In 2010, the German economy grew by 3.7 percent after a painful contraction of 5.1 percent in 2009, which was by far its worst showing since World War II.
Exports were also strong, according to Destatis, growing 8.2 percent compared with the year before. Imports rose 7.2 percent.
Simon Junker, an expert with the DIW institute, warned that expectations for the economy in 2012 were damped by the eurozone crisis and that both exports and imports would slow down.
"Germany's strongly export-driven economy will not be able to elude the slowdown of the global economy," Junker said. "Especially German exports will suffer from the eurozone crisis."
However, the DIW said, there is reason to be optimistic if the eurozone governments "manage to quickly and believably contain the crisis."

The National Hockey League, as advised by VP of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan, will be conducting a disciplinary hearing with New York Rangers forward Brandon Prust this morning. That hearing will be in response to Prust's elbow to the back of the head of New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov, which went unnoticed by the officials early in the second period of Saturday's Game 3 at the Prudential Center.
The general consensus here is that Prust will be handed a suspension for his reckless decision, otherwise Shanahan's basis of holding a hearing would be nonexistent in the first place. The question becomes just how long will the Rangers be without their bottom six grinder and how will the League compare and contrast this incident to others that have occurred throughout these Stanley Cup Playoffs?
Two things work in Prust's favor: there was no malice intent on his part and he is not a repeat offender by any circumstance.
On the contrary, two things also work against him: he's a New York Ranger and he also got away with bumping Martin Brodeur quite a few times in Game 3.
At this point, the League's biased feelings against the Rangers can be publicly stated without accusation of conspiracy theory, since there's no theorizing still involved - it's all fact. And you also cannot deny the fact that the NHL does its best to protect a veteran and future Hall of Fame inductee in Martin Brodeur.
Neither should factor into the final decision, but the truth of the matter is that the NHL is nowehre near perfect and will be heavily conidering both.
Here's another look at the elbow:

Auto accident forces Miyazato out of HSBC
Ai Miyazato has withdrawn from the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore as a precaution after she was hurt in a weekend auto accident.
The Associated Press
Ai Miyazato has withdrawn from the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore as a precaution after she was hurt in a weekend auto accident.
Miyazato, the 2010 champion, withdrew on Wednesday after hitting balls for about 15 minutes.
The former No. 1-ranked Miyazato issued a statement saying she still had stiffness in her neck, shoulder and back "but it is also a precautionary measure so as not to risk further injury."
The U.S. LPGA Tour said Paula Creamer, Suzann Pettersen and Miyazato were involved in a five-vehicle crash in Thailand on Sunday.
Creamer told a pre-tournament news conference she had "pretty bad whiplash from hitting the headrest but I took it easy and I hope that I can tee it up" when the tournament starts on Thursday.

It's flexible, yet strong, considering that it's very thin. It houses millions of tiny units 0 Understanding acne How to clear acne overnight Your skin: amazing stuff. Tough, yet sensitive, permeable, yet waterproof. It's flexible, yet strong, considering that it's very thin. It houses millions of tiny units that regulate its fluid levels and temperature. It can change colour. It even repairs itself. Its your body's biggest organ. There are two types of skin – hairy and glabrous. Glabrous skin occurs on your lips, the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands. Hairy skin is found everywhere else, although the amount of hair produced will vary. Your skin is your body's largest, heaviest organ, usually weighing around 4kg. It measures about two square metres – even more if you're Marlon Brando. It can vary in thickness from less than a millimetre to about half a centimetre. Without sounding like a biology lesson, your skin can be divided into three layers, the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutis. 1. The epidemis: You might find it disconcerting that the skin you see is actually a layer of dead cells called the corneal layer. It's the final stage in a cycle that lasts around 28 days and started below the surface, in the epidermis. The epidermis comprises keratinocytes, which are living epidermal cells, and the corneal layer. The keratinocytes are pushed upwards toward the surface, where they die and are sloughed off. That's why exfoliating and shaving helps keep your skin looking young. The epidermis has a water-resistant component which prevents the skin absorbing water like a sponge. 2. The dermis: The dermis is a busy place, almost like an industrial area. Within it operate an array of devices such as sweat and oil glands and hair follicles, as well as a network of blood vessels and nerve fibres, some supporting tissue, collagen and subcutaneous fat. It's the elastin and collagen fibres in the dermis which provide the skin with its elasticity. The dermal layer has elastin fibres which are neatly layered and relatively thick – particularly in children and people whose skins haven't been damaged by the sun. But in older people this layer becomes thinner and the elastin fibres less organised. This is why older people are more prone to wrinkles and the effects of ageing. 3. The subcutis: This layer consists of fat and blood vessels. Read more:Skin care More in Medical Prevalence and course of acne More: AcneAnatomy of acne SPONSORED: So many prizes!

Boy Shoots Babysitter After Playing Game
Via HuffPo reports:
Louisiana law enforcement officials say an 8-year-old boy intentionally shot and killed his elderly caregiver Thursday evening after playing the video game "Grand Theft Auto."
According to WAFB-TV, the shooting, which the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office has called a homicide, took place in a mobile home park near Slaughter, La. The woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was reportedly found with a gunshot wound to the head. It is believed that the 8-year-old shot her while she was in the living room watching television.
"Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time, investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a video game on the Play Station III "Grand Theft Auto IV", a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred," a statement issued by the Sheriff's Office said.
As Fox News notes, "Grand Theft Auto" is rated "M" for mature audiences and recommended for teens and adults aged 17 and older.
The woman, who has been identified as Marie Smothers, has been described as the "current caregiver" of the boy. It is, however, still unclear what her relationship was with the child. There is also conflicting information as to Smothers' age, with some news outlets identifying her as an 87-year-old woman and others indicating that she was 90.
It's the video game's fault. Never mind an 8 year-old had access to a gun. Crazy!

I just don't get why anyone would buy an armband, "protective" case, etc. for a damn mp3 player that clips onto practically anything and is so lightweight, you can't even tell it's there. Somebody please tell me why the hell you would purchase this? And really, $20? That's 25% of what the Shuffle retails for…I just don't get it.
BTW, I own the new shuffle…
Posted by Danny on December 14, 2006 at 7:03 PM (CST)
THE POINT: The clip isn't always stong enough!
The Action Jacket protects the shuffle from rain and sweat which WILL short it out. A pretty compelling reason to frop $20 if you use it for your workouts.
It also gives it a bit more noticeability. The Shuttle is so light I worry Im going to forget to unclip it from my shirt and put it throught he was.
Posted by t on December 15, 2006 at 10:59 AM (CST)
The real problem is here that these products are made by DLO, a company who does not stand behind other cases that they make, why start now?
Posted by Andy on December 17, 2006 at 4:23 PM (CST)
yay…more bottom quality junk from DLO
After my experience with one of their cases, there is no way I would hook up a power source from them. It is frightening to think what that would do to my iPod.
