As always your publication is a fine news source, with the highest standards. I have been a constant reader of your print editions since 1983.
I see no reason to publish the "Readers Comments" if most of them are like the ones shown for this article( Except the first two or three )
which are from persons that appear to be focused on getting the last word in an exchange of ideas that are of no concern for most readers. Can't you filter them and just publish the ones that provide important complementary opinions to the article itself?

Most of us were shocked and dismayed when we heard about the devastation that was caused by the earthquake in Haiti earlier this month.
Around the world, people are doing what they can to help the people of Haiti, and Special Olympics is no different wrote Timothy Shriver in a letter on the Special Olympics website asking for any assistance for the athletes of Haiti. "The devastation that has hit Haiti in recent days is almost beyond imagination. Like people all over the world, we join all the people of Haiti in prayer and sympathy at this time of unspeakable loss." There is still little word on the whereabouts and safety of the athletes, coaches, volunteers and staff members in the country. It is our hope that they are all safe and sound.
Special Olympics Idaho, in particular, has been a community personally affected by this. Having hosted the 2009 World Winter Games there is a particular concern, having met athletes that have been affected by this tragedy. When you can put a name or a voice to something this enormous, the tragedy touches the heart. All of those in Idaho that were involved with the Games are very concerned by the events, both staff and volunteer alike. Nowhere is that more visible than with volunteer Sgt. Andrew Tuttle, with the Idaho National Guard.
Sgt. Tuttle got involved in the 2009 Winter Games and remained involved afterwards by working with the Boise Special Olympics Lions Club was established in Boise during the Winter Games. After the earthquake, he organized to help the athletes and staff in the affected area. Tuttle contacted a local radio station, KAWO Wow Country 104.3, where he had connections with one of the morning show hosts. The host enthusiastically signed on to do a fundraising effort for the Special Olympics Haiti fund set up in Washington, DC. The plan is to do fundraising on the air the week of January 25 to 29, 2010, to promote the fund and help with the fundraising efforts for the program.
In addition, two local newspapers, Idaho Mountain Express and The Idaho Statesman, picked up on the story and have run information on how to contribute. Tuttle's interest and support of this initiative exemplifies the deep commitment of people involved in the Special Olympics movement.
When natural disasters happen, it always feels more personal when there is a connection to an area or people. It's no different to the people in Idaho, who worked closely with the Haitians last year. As the information about the fundraising efforts were discussed with Christine Jarski, the Vice-President of Development and Marketing for Special Olympics Idaho, she asked specifically if Special Olympics knew any more news about the people in Haiti. Our thoughts go out to all those touched by the tragedy, and that we will soon know the status of those we haven't heard anything about.
Money contributed to the fund will help rebuild the program in Haiti. The goal is to ensure that the athletes continue to have the same ability to compete and improve their skills, even as the program is rebuilt. If you are interested, please feel free to look at the letter by Timothy Shriver for more information on how to provide help for the Special Olympics athletes, families, staff and volunteers at: http://www.specialolympics.org/special_olympics_ceo_on_haiti_disaster.aspx
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

NGC offers the First Releases designation for selected coins received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository during the first 30 days* of release. The term FIRST RELEASES will be noted as part of the description on the special blue First Releases label. Other special and series-specific labels available from NGC may also be used in combination with the First Releases designation.
To qualify for First Releases, all coins must generally be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within 30 days* of their release. Coins being sent directly to NGC do not need to be accompanied by original packaging or shipped in sealed Mint boxes, but must arrive within the time period described above. The First Releases request must be noted on the submission invoice, and additional service fees apply for the special label and designation verification.
Alternatively, NGC offers the Early Releases designation, which has the same definition as First Releases.
NGC maintains a complete list of cutoff dates for eligible coins. US and world coins (view eligible world coins) can be submitted for the First Releases designation using the Special Label/Designation service option and bulk submission services, or as described on NGCcoin.com/Modern.
First Releases and Early Releases will be listed separately in the NGC Census. Both designations indicate a coin was received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days* of its release. They will also be eligible for inclusion in the very popular NGC Registry. As with any of its certification and grading, NGC offers no opinion on value, leaving that to the marketplace.
In certain markets NGC will offer bilingual First Releases labels. The same First Releases definition, cutoff dates and NGC Registry treatment will apply.
*In rare instances, production or shipping delays at the US Mint or other mints may require that NGC extend the First Releases period. The cutoff date will be reflected on the NGC website.
US Cutoff Dates | World Cutoff Dates
Q. How many First Releases coins has NGC graded?
A. First Releases and Early Releases will be listed separately in the NGC Census Report, and appear beneath the non-designated issues.
Q. Do First Releases receive a point premium in the NGC Registry?
A. No. They are weighted the same as non-First Releases coins in the NGC Registry.
Q. What coins are eligible for the First Releases designation?
A. Only certain coins and/or sets will be designated First Releases by NGC. In some cases, NGC will only designate coins as First Releases during the first 30 days after the release of the entire set by the Mint or other issuing authority, regardless of whether individual coins from that set have been previously released.

(Australia 1953 – )
43.0 x 41.2 cm image; 59.8 x 50.4 cm sheet
Ricky Maynard has produced some of the most compelling images of contemporary Aboriginal Australia over the last two decades.
Largely self taught, Maynard began his career as a darkroom technician at the age of sixteen. He first established his reputation with the 1985 series 'Moonbird people', an intimate portrayal of the muttonbirding season on Babel, Big Dog and Trefoil Islands in his native Tasmania. The 1993 series 'No more than what you see' documents Indigenous prisoners in South Australian gaols.
He is the recipient of numerous grants and commissions, including a 1990 Commonwealth Government Award to study at the International Centre of Photography in New York. In 1997 he received the Australian Human Rights Award for Photography and is a recipient of the Mother Jones International Documentary Award. In 2003 he was awarded the Kate Challis RAKA award for his work 'Wik Elder, Arthur'.
Maynard is a lifelong student of the history of photography, particularly of the great American social reformers Jacob Riis, Lewis Hines, Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. Maynard's images cut through the layers of rhetoric and ideology that inevitably couch black history (particularly Tasmanian history) to present images of experience itself. His visual histories question ownership; he claims that 'the contest remains over who will image and own this history…we must define history, define whose history it is, and define its purpose as well as the tools used for the telling it'.
In 'Portrait of a distant land' Maynard addresses the emotional connection between history and place. He uses documentary style landscapes to illustrate group portraits of Aboriginal peoples' experiences throughout Tasmania. Each work combines several specific historical events, creating a narrative of shared experience – for example 'The Mission' relies on historical records of a small boy whom Europeans christened after both his parents died in the Risdon massacre. This work highlights the disparity between written, oral and visual histories, as Maynard attempts to create 'a combination of a very specific oral history as well as an attempt to show a different way of looking at history in general'.

Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf

Show day: Fort Lauderdale - National Car Rental Center
26 March 2001
Show day: Fort Lauderdale - National Car Rental Center
Second show days are traditionally pretty tough, as the tsunami of adrenaline that got everyone through opening night has ebbed and the gigantic flaws in the production start to become apparent. That's the usual way of things at least but today had only the slightest flavour of it. The reviews of Saturday's show have been gushing and wildly positive, which certainly helps any day go with a swing, so the mood was still well up when everyone regrouped at the venue for soundcheck and further run throughs. The Corrs opened again and there were still a lot of guests and friends at the gig which is always nice. Simon Mayo came in from London and Martin Wroe has been here helping to launch the next phase of U2.COM. It's been fun to have them all here.
The show was great, apparently, the general feeling being that the band's performance was, if anything, superior to opening night. I, however, had a complete dog of a gig as right before show time one of the video cameras ceased to function leaving me with a blank screen. The concept for the camera coverage of the band on this tour is somewhat radical in its own quiet way. I have become really tired of the standard rock show method of having video screens showing close ups of the band which are cut, edited and switched like a VH-1 music special. It's such a distraction, because, as with any situation where a human being is in the presence of a television set, it's impossible keep your eyes off the screen for any length of time. (This of course was the entire premise of the Zoo TV tour, but that was 1992 and it was a different world back then).
For the Elevation tour I proposed that we make the camera coverage (or 'I-Mag' as its known in the biz being short for 'image magnification') as simple and unobtrusive as possible. The idea is to have four screens above the stage - good old fashioned video rear-projection - then have four cameras in the house. Each camera is dedicated to one band member and the picture goes directly to one of the screens for the whole night. That's it. This removes the presence of a 'director' between the band and the audience - I'm talking to the camera operators and keeping them vaguely in check, but essentially there's no-one in the way making decisions as to what the audience should see at any given moment. All four close ups are there all the time if you want them, but you can be confident that if you do something as bold as watch the show on stage for a while, you won't be missing anything vital on TV. There's a minimum of fuss and certainly no video art going on up there. I have been extremely pleased with the way it worked out during rehearsals and on the opening night, so you'll understand why it was such a blow to lose a camera for the whole show.....the embarrassing blank screen.
I did what I could to make sure the band members all got fair coverage on the remaining screens, but this then became the focus of my whole night which made it really hard work and no fun at all. Of course, 90% of the audience probably didn't notice anything wrong and 90% of those that did probably didn't realise it was a mistake, so in global terms it was, I suppose, a relatively minor catastrophe. But I was not a happy camper I have to tell you. The audience clearly loved the show though, which is arguably the point of coming here, so we remain unbroken and ready to fight another day.
Back at the Hotel Delano on Miami Beach there was yet another full-on event happening out by the pool bar with the night air pounding from a string of extraordinarily loud parties up and down the beach. There really should be an upper limit put on how many DJs are allowed to occupy any given amount of square footage...

Deep Vein Thrombosis
Topic OverviewWhat is deep vein thrombosis?Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Clots can form in superficial veins and in deep veins. Blood clots with inflammation in superficial veins (called superficial thrombophlebitis or phlebitis) rarely cause serious problems. But clots in deep veins (deep vein thrombosis) require immediate medical care. These clots are dangerous because they can break loose, travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, and block blood flow in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Pulmonary embolism is often life-threatening. DVT can also lead to long-lasting problems. DVT may damage the vein and cause the leg to ache, swell, and change color. Blood clots most often form in the calf and thigh veins, and less often in the arm veins or pelvic veins. This topic focuses on blood clots in the deep veins of the legs, but diagnosis and treatment of DVT in other parts of the body are similar. Each year in the United States, between 350,000 and 600,000 people get a blood clot in the legs or in the lungs.1 What causes deep vein clots to form?Blood clots can form in veins when you are inactive. For example, clots can form if you are paralyzed or bedridden or must sit while on a long flight or car trip. Surgery or an injury can damage your blood vessels and cause a clot to form. Cancer can also cause DVT. Some people have blood that clots too easily, a problem that may run in families. What are the symptoms?Symptoms of DVT include swelling of the affected leg. Also, the leg may feel warm and look redder than the other leg. The calf or thigh may ache or feel tender when you touch or squeeze it or when you stand or move. Pain may get worse and last longer or become constant. If a blood clot is small, it may not cause symptoms. In some cases, pulmonary embolism is the first sign that you have DVT. How is deep vein thrombosis diagnosed?If your doctor suspects that you have DVT, you probably will have an ultrasound test to measure the blood flow through your veins and help find any clots that might be blocking the flow. Other tests, such as a venogram, are sometimes used if ultrasound results are unclear. A venogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of the blood flow through the veins. How is it treated?Treatment begins right away to reduce the chance that the blood clot will grow or that a piece of the clot might break loose and flow to your lungs. Treatment for DVT usually involves taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) for at least 3 months to prevent existing clots from growing. Your doctor also may recommend that you prop up or elevate your leg when possible, take walks, and wear compression stockings. These measures may help reduce the pain and swelling that can happen with DVT. How can deep vein thrombosis be prevented?There are things you can do to prevent DVT. After surgery, you can take an anticoagulant medicine to prevent blood clots. You might also wear compression stockings. You can try to get up and out of bed as soon as possible after an illness or surgery. If you are sitting for a long time, like during a long flight, you can exercise your legs to help blood flow.

Pros: An intelligent UI, easy to customise, a visually pleasing screen with a good display size and a top notch camera
Cons: There really isn't anything bad to say about this phone
Verdict: The HTC One X is a powerhouse, supported by the quad-core processor and coupled with a top notch camera and a sharp, clear display with excellent colour reproduction.
It was an exciting moment when the HTC One X arrived, as this is not only the first quad-core mobile we've seen, it is the first to make it to market as well. It's also the leading product in HTC's lengthy portfolio. Bursting with features, the handset it retains a svelte and desirable shape. It might be early but it is already possible that this will be our Phone of the Year.
Straight out the box it looks like most HTC phones. The display, made of tough Gorilla Glass, takes up nearly all of the phone's front. With its rounded edges, this is a good looking phone.
Slim to hold it might be, at just 8.9mm, but this is still a large phone in width and height. It has to be to accommodate the 4.7-inch screen and its worth sacrificing the size for, as this is as good as the HTC Titan and Sensation XL. If we'd had smaller hands we might have preferred something like the HTC One S, but we had no problem holding this one handed.
The One X has a unibody shell. This looks tough, and it is. The battery can't be accessed by opening it. To get the SIM card out you just jab a slot with a paper clip, in much the same way as you do on an iPhone. While the handset lacks a microSD card slot, this is made up for by the 32GB of internal storage. You also get 25GB of free storage space online through DropBox. The power button, and a 3.5mm jack, are located on the top of the handset, while volum and a Micro USB port are on the sides.
The back of the One X has a soft-touch surface. We found on the Sony Xperia S this marked up pretty quickly. We were pleased to find that wasn't the case on the One X – it seems much more resistant to scuffs. The camera lens can't be missed. It juts out a few millimetres from the middle of the phone. We wondered if this would be annoying, when in a pocket and pressed against a thigh. But actually, we never noticed.
At the heart of the One X is a powerful, throbbing 1.5GHz quad-core CPU. This is a monster of a smartphone. Apps start in a couple of seconds, no matter how many are already running. We opened as many as we could, and found that this didn't affect the performance of any app being used. Supported by 1GB of RAM, and with features like NFC, this phone is pretty well future proof.
As much fun as it is playing with all this power, our first thoughts were to test the battery life. This has been a big question mark over the quad-core and we wanted to see how much power it drained. There is nothing worse than a mobile dying halfway through the day.
There was nothing to worry about. We used that phone to the extreme, constantly playing with it. Web browsing, texting, taking pictures, phone calls, watching videos online, and playing with apps. It took two days, or 48 hours, to run the battery flat. Never mind a quad-core phone, this is one of the best results we've had from any smartphone, and many of the latest single and dual-core handsets. One X disables cores if they're not needed, so power drain is kept to a minimum.
The operating system pre-installed on the One X is Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), which ran flawlessly. Combined with HTC's Sense 4.0 overlay, there's a stack of personalisation options, and features, available.
Let's start with the lock screen. This is highly customisable, and we were thrilled with it. Drag the bubble at the bottom of the screen to the middle to unlock – simple. There's more. Shortcuts for features such as Contacts, Texts, Email and Camera can be opened by dragging them into the bubble. Useful if you need to take a picture really quickly, or a new message pops up.
There's more, and it gets better. With the Personalise app you can alter the One X's lock screen and add extra features. Maybe you'd like your social networking accounts in there for easy and quick access, or favourite contacts. That way an email to your best buddy is only a couple of taps away.
You can also adjust the phone to work the way you do, with shortcuts and widgets, when you get to Android's desktops. There's a number of pre-installed skins and wallpapers, or use your own. Different profiles can be setup, with different desktops. A really handy feature if you use the phone for work and home – and obviously there are different apps you'll want to access depending on whether you're on personal time or business.
Just below the One X's screen are three, touch-sensitive buttons. These are for Back, Home and Recent Apps. We particularly appreciated the last one, as it presents every app you've used in the last couple of days in a scrollable list.
How to describe in words just how gorgeous the 4.7-inch LCD2 screen is? It has an astonishing 1280x720 pixel resolution, and colours are vibrantly reproduced. You won't believe how sharp photos and movies look. It also means there's a fairly spacious display, and an incredible level of detail. The piece de resistance is the wide viewing angle. Not only can you enjoy watching a video with friends, but you know they'll be dripping with jealousy.
When it comes to web browsing and email, the roomy display is also a plus. There's plenty of space for the Sense keyboard so typing is a doddle. When zooming out considerably to view a web page we were able to make out text because of the high resolution. Scrolling is smooth, there's no lags or hesitations. This is a highly responsive touchscreen.
HTC has used Beats Audio with this phone, to produce an excellent audio experience when listening to music. And not just for tunes, this also really brings movies to life. The phone has a pretty powerful set of speakers built-in, but we'd recommend using a decent pair of your own headphones to truly get the most out of the sound.
We were pretty impressed with the excellent 12-megapixel camera on the Sony Xperia S. However, the One X tops this even though it has fewer megapixels. The feature set is just that good. You'll get crisp, vibrant still images out of the eight-megapixel lens. However, what really makes the difference if the f2.0 aperture, as this lets in more light than you'd get on standard phone cameras. In practical use this means that it will handle low light conditions much better.
An auto-adjusting flash, and filters for funky effects, are amongst the other included features. These are fairly common, but one feature we haven't seen before on a smartphone is a control for taking rapid-fire-action shots. A pretty cool tool, especially if you're taking photos of sporting events. The video allows for full HD recording.
You can actually take photos while filming. Handy if you need to do screen grabs. A small touch, but it is these little things that have made the HTC One X really stand out.
Every so often a phone comes along that does everything right. It doesn't happen often, but the HTC One X is one of these examples of perfection. The interface is user friendly and highly customisable, we can't fault the colourful screen or the build quality, and the camera is simply brilliant. There is not one single thing about this handset that we could find to criticise. Except perhaps why on earth HTC had to make us give it back.

Shocking is an understatement. Here are the things people in the world agree on in regards to Liberia:
It was colonized in 1821-1822 by freed American Slaves.
These slaves formed an elite group in society, and in 1847 formed an elite group named the Republic of Liberia.
In 1989 the first Civil War in Liberia broke out, and in 1999 the second Civil War in Liberia broke out. These have been named the bloodiest, most gruesome wars in history.
In 2003, The Economist named Liberia "The World's Worst Place to Live".
You may say, so what? But let us take a moment to remember what we have put out of our memory due to the horrific nature of our ancestor's behavior. How we, Americans, treated those slaves according to the editors of the CD oral history project called Remembering Slavery: African-Americans Talk About Their Personal Experiences of Slavery and Emancipation:
"Some slave women were used for breeding more slaves. Plantation owners would rape female slaves in order to produce more slaves. Some slaves were even forced to have sex with others to increase population and increase the amount of slave product on the market."

2012 Senior Bowl: Practice Report
This is my Monday 2012 Senior Bowl Practice Report. I'll note how some of the players performed in the drills, and I'll pepper in some opinions on these prospects from the leading voices in the NFL Draft community. Click here for much more detailed 2012 Senior Bowl articles from Charlie, who is reporting live from Mobile, Ala. Follow me @walterfootball for updates, and stay tuned all week for tons of 2012 Senior Bowl coverage. |
2012 Senior Bowl: Monday Practice Report
Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
Mike Adams is off to a good start. Amid reports by the National Football Post's Wes Bunting that some teams are considering Adams to be a top-15 prospect, the Ohio State tackle fared well in the drills. Vinny Curry beat him once when he got leverage, but Adams handled him and another defensive lineman on the other occasions.
"He's got the length you want and good feet," said Mike Mayock.
Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
Alfonzo Dennard was one of the players who hurt himself the most on Monday. First of all, he measured in at an even 5-10 at the weigh-ins. That's not going to kill him, but teams looking for taller corners won't be interested. What really damaged Dennard's stock was how he looked in the drills. He was really stiff in the hips and lost in the one-on-one drills.
Scott Wright from DraftCountdown.com said it best: "Alfonzo Dennard hasn't looked like a first-round pick in any way so far. Fine when action is in front but can't turn and run."
Donnie Fletcher, CB/FS, Boston College
Mike Mayock is a Boston College guy, so when he criticizes an Eagle, you know that player isn't any good. Mayock opined that Fletcher probably won't be able to play cornerback in the NFL, as he criticized his tight hips.
Mayock then suggested that Fletcher might have to play free safety, but pointed out that Fletcher doesn't hit aggressively. A safety who doesn't hit aggressively isn't going to be in the league very long.
Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
Two areas of concern for Melvin Ingram at the weigh-in: First, he was only 6-1, 7/8, which is too small for a defensive end. More problematic are his 30 1/2-inch arms, which will almost certainly hurt him at the next level.
Leonard Johnson, CB, Iowa State
One corner Mike Mayock likes is Leonard Johnson. Mayock compared Johnson to Brandon Flowers. The Iowa State product was beat once in the one-on-one drills, but getting heavy praise like that from Mayock has to give his stock a slight boost.
Kellen Moore, QB, Boise State
I'm rooting for Kellen Moore because no one else is. No one had anything positive to say about Moore today, as some criticized his measurements (5-11 3/4, 191), while others predicted that he would be exposed this week. And he almost definitely will be. It could get so bad that Moore won't even be drafted. I hope not, but it's a possibility.
Mike Mayock isn't much of a fan either, but he did have one positive thing to say about the Boise quarterback: "He does not have big arm. He can't drive it outside numbers. But nobody understands the game any better."
In other words, Moore has a chance to be a solid backup quarterback in the NFL, but he doesn't have any starting potential.
Kelechi Osemele, G, Iowa State
We can now confirm that Kelechi Osemele has no shot at being a right tackle. He was completely exposed in the one-on-one drills while playing outside. I have no idea why the Senior Bowl coaches lined him up at tackle. He looked really bad. Fortunately, he has great potential at guard.
Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State
Brian Quick was the consensus most physically impressive receiver during the weigh-ins. He measured in at 6-3 1/2, 222 pounds, with very long 33 1/2-inch arms.
Johnnie Troutman, G, Penn State
I want to have good things to say about a fellow Penn Stater, but Johnnie Troutman was beaten like a mule in the one-on-one drills. He doesn't look like a draftable prospect.
Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin
Mike Mayock had glowing things to say about Russell Wilson:
"He could be Doug Flutie. I mean, that's how good this kid is. He has an innate understanding of making plays. He's a playmaker. I don't care how tall he is. He's got a good enough arm. That kid is special."
Mayock also complimented Wilson's arm strength, which is something that critics are skeptical about. He has a good chance to be a third-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

These are cute, but I bought them w/ the black stitching and you can't even see it so they just look like regular gold hoops. Maybe the red would be more noticeable? I'm not sure...
March 8, 2013
Not gonna lie, I really bought these because they reminded me of the stitches of a baseball/softball, sports that I love. I didn't read the size of them before (my fault) so I was a little surprised when I received them and realized the length was a bit longer (2 inches) than what I would normally wear. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I put them on. I love them!! The length is perfect and they aren't too heavy/droopy. Very cute. Can't wait to wear them with the dress below (only in red) or with my StL Cardinals jersey :)

One of the most interesting things about vehicle telematics systems is that fleets often purchase them for one very specific function without realizing that telematics has the potential to revolutionize their entire fleet operation.
Such is the case with Tri City Glass and Door, an Appleton, WI-based company that has the Networkfleet telematics system installed in 28 of its trucks. The company, which installs auto, residential and commercial glass from three locations, started to use telematics in order to take control of idling time, only to find that the opportunities to make the fleet operate more efficiently were seemingly limitless.
In fact, fleet manager Larry Bender is still in the middle of the learning process: he keeps discovering so many new applications for the vehicle data he receives from Networkfleet that he can't keep up.
We recently spoke with Bender about his experience with telematics, and here's what he had to say:
Fleet Maintenance: How did you get interested in using telematics?
Larry Bender: It started a couple years ago. We have a lot of service and install vehicles on the road, and it was in the winter and we were out doing a service for a rep for a different telematics company, and he called me up and said, 'You know, while you were fixing our door here, your truck ran continuously for an hour and a half.' Granted, it was in the wintertime, and the installers need to stay warm, but we don't see the employees' cars parked in the parking lot running all day long. If it was one isolated vehicle that wouldn't be so bad, but typically that's not the case.
So we tried a test run with one unit, and the results were good. But it was a system that downloaded when the vehicle came into the yard, so it wasn't 'real-time.' We tried it for a while, to test the waters, and after doing a little research we decided to go with Networkfleet because of the options and the real-time capability.
We track our installers, and their times are all separated on the service orders per location, and that's one of the features that helps us justify or explain the time going to and from a particular job. Occasionally we have a person who calls up and says, 'Well, your guy was only here for a half-hour.' But there's driving time involved that's also incorporated into our service orders, so if a question arises we can pull up a report. And our techs are more accountable and more aware of accurately recording their times per job.
So as we've gotten more and more involved, and as we've gotten more familiar-and we're still learning-we've set our maximum speed at 75 miles an hour. That gives us a little leeway over 65 mph, for passing, but Networkfleet will send us an e-mail to let us know as it's actually happening. All the guys have cell phones, so we give them a call immediately and let them know they need to slow down.
FM: How many vehicles have the telematics units installed?
LB: We have 28 vehicles out of 36 currently with the Networkfleet units on them, and they're a mix of the full-size vans we use for auto glass replacement, chassis cab trucks that we use with larger glass racks on, for our commercial install crews, and some pick-up trucks for our salespeople and project managers. And then there are our service vehicles, which are cube vans and Sprinters.
We put a handful on at one location, then we added another location, and we're continually adding them as we see more and more benefits.
FM: Are you planning any new vehicle purchases in the immediate future?
LB: There's more consideration, but we still have a scheduled replacement guideline for the vehicles, and obviously if one goes down we accelerate that schedule. We are trying to keep things current, and we don't want to have them all aging at the same time.
Like everyone, we're watching where all of the dollars are going, but there are good deals out there right now. We had one vehicle that was scheduled for replacement next year, and there's currently a Dodge Sprinter on a lot that we're looking at replacing that with. We can get a considerably better deal than the previous one that we just bought last year. We're always looking for opportunities.
We've been using the Sprinters as our service vehicles because our techs have a lot of parts on each one, so they're a little bit larger so we can incorporate the racks, plus they can actually stand up inside, whereas a regular van was pretty hard to work out of.
FM: Are specific drivers dedicated to specific vehicles?
LB: They are primarily in the same vehicle. Occasionally they switch around, depending on what they're hauling or what they're doing, but they primarily are assigned.
So there's a sense of ownership, and also, if we switched vehicles between drivers, if there's something that happened to one particular vehicle, you would never know who to ask, because there are different drivers. This way it's easier to keep track.
We have one truck that requires a CDL, and we have a few people who have their CDLs, but there is one primary driver.
FM: Do you outsource your maintenance?
LB: Yes, we do. We have three locations, and we deal with a few different vendors, depending on the vehicle type. Some work better with the gas engines, some with diesel, so we coordinate our maintenance through the local providers. They do a good job for us.
FM: Are there some instances where you need to let your trucks idle while on a job?
LB: Mainly with the auto glass replacements. Typically if we're changing a windshield, that job takes about an hour, hour-and-a-half. But the sealants, to work properly, need to be kept above freezing. And the glass, when it's set against the adhesive, needs to be warm to get the proper bond. So with that in mind, we set our normal service and install trucks at a 15-minute idle time; that's the maximum that we allow before we get an alert. But our auto glass vehicles, in the wintertime, we have bumped out to an hour.
We don't like to see any of the vehicles idling any longer than that. It's just not needed.
The unit doesn't shut off the truck; it sends us an alert via e-mail, and then we'll talk to the driver. There's a handful of people who, it's just the way they've always done things to leave the truck running. It's not their gas money, so I guess they're just weren't in tune with what that actually costs.
FM: Have you quantified how much idle time you've eliminated?
LB: We haven't actually done any tests to get the actual results, but I know from when we first installed the units until now, our alert rate has gone down drastically. In the first few days and weeks, it was almost an hourly thing that we were getting alerts for speeding and maximum idle time. That has been drastically reduced, so I do know that our drivers have a better awareness that we're watching.
FM: How do the drivers feel about that?
LB: At first there was a little uneasiness with it. They were thinking it was more of a watchdog-type thing, but as we got more and more involved with it, we've had a number of things come up that have saved us substantial amounts of money. Number one is fuel economy; we can see those fuel rates were bumped up slightly. And we had one unit send a diagnostic alert to us concerning a problem with a turbocharger, and it was right at the vehicle's warranty expiration period. We weren't experiencing any performance problems, but it said there was a potential problem. When we brought it into the dealer, they checked it out and said, 'Boy, it's a good thing you caught this, because if you had run it for another month or so, if the turbocharger had flown apart or broken down, components could have gone into the engine, and it would have cost $4,000 just for a new engine.' But we caught it under warranty.
Those are the kinds of things that, as they come up, we bring up to our installers and techs, and say, 'There are other reasons for this than just watching where you're going.'
FM: How has the telematics system helped you with asset management? Has it made your fleet utilization more efficient?
LB: Most definitely. We had a number of situations where, with our multiple locations, we have our service guys out on jobs, and say one of them is at the mall and he needs a hand setting a big piece of glass or removing a door, he'll call back and ask if we can send someone to give him a hand for an hour or so. Well, we look at the GPS, and our other store has a vehicle and installer on the other end of the mall. We just call him up and send him, and five minutes later he's there to help. It's a huge time-saver.
Sometimes a person will call up, and they have a door that was caught by the wind, and they need service. We look at it, and whoever's the closest service tech, we route him over there. Before, we would never know exactly where everyone was at. So, it works out real well.
FM: Have you had the opportunity to use the data and alerts from Networkfleet to manage your maintenance work with your outside vendors?
LB: We haven't done that yet. We manually record our mileage at the moment. We started out pursuing the Networkfleet system for one reason, basically, and we keep on progressing and adding things as we become more aware of the capabilities and as we see how well it works.
That's something we haven't utilized currently, but we are working on it. Eventually, we can set it with our mileages, so it can alert when the oil changes come up.
One thing we're looking at a little more closely with our auto glass vehicles is, because those need to run a little bit more to keep the sealants and glass warm in the wintertime, if we go primarily off of miles, it's not a true, actual read on the engine run time. So on those vehicles we've reduced the miles between oil changes from 3,000 to 1,500 in the wintertime.
FM: What are your maintenance intervals?
LB: We have been doing that manually. We have different cycles; with our diesels we run synthetic oil at a 5,000 mile interval. Our gas engines in the typical service truck, those are set at 3,000, and again, the auto glass trucks are set at 1,500 for the wintertime.
We haven't utilized Networkfleet as far as our preventive maintenance program, not to its potential. But we'll be inching that way as we go.
FM: Do you personally manage the details of your maintenance program, or leave that to the outside providers?
LB: At each location we have one person in charge of DOT regulations. We need to do inspections, and at that time they record the mileage. We need to fill out a paper form to satisfy the DOT requirements, checking lights and horns and seat belts and all of those things, so when they do that, then we check the mileage.
We have a sheet that our drivers have to fill out daily. It's essentially about a 15 question checklist: check the horn, check the tire wear, that kind of thing, just to make sure everything's working properly. Some of those items aren't things that Networkfleet would pick up, so that's why we're having to do that part of it manually. If we could get away from doing that manually, we most definitely would.
With our manual system of checking the miles, we're more vigilant about getting those oil changes done when they need to be. And that's something that's real important, and it's something that we're setting up to do with Networkfleet, because when we left it up to the driver to let us know when they needed an oil change, they were going well over. That's when we put in the manual system, but we will be doing it with Networkfleet shortly.
FM: Is the telematics system difficult to operate?
LB: We have dealt with Sam Colucci at Baycom in Green Bay, for our system, and as far as the support and their reaction time, it's second to none, really. They've done a really good job any time we have a question that we need an answer to, or we potentially have a diagnostic problem.
Again, we're still learning this, but we can call or e-mail, depending on the urgency, and we get answers right away.
Networkfleet is continually upgrading and improving, so it's not an 'out-of-the-box' deal that you order online and get in the mail and put in yourself and that's it... They recently changed their mapping, and how they set up their geofencing, that sort of thing. It's a very progressive company.
FM: Who installs the units, and where is it done?
LB: We've worked with Baycom on that, coordinating purchase and installation with them. When we were first looking at this, Sam brought in a demo and we were able to log in and check his fleet and see how it worked.
FM: Is there any other new technology that you're using in your fleet?
LB: Currently we're just working on trying to get the full potential out of everything we have. We talk to different contractors, and we're always fishing around for the best way to account for each person's time and vehicle usage and mileage, and all that.
So, we have talked to one contractor in particular that was looking into the paperless time cards and trying to tie that into the GPS. For us, with multiple locations and drive times, it would be real difficult to do something like that, but we're always looking to see where we can improve.

Great product for a fare priice, I want another one
The notebook arrived with a bad screen though. Even on maximum brightness it was barely visible; so we had to return it. I've purchased a few E6400 and E6500 Dell notebooks in the past and they are generally very good machines that I continue to recommend. In fact, I ordered an E6400 around the same time (because the E6500's were sold out) and this other one works fine - no issues at all. This other (E6500) was just a bad one. But, even though it didn't work right, Overstock was wonderful to deal with on the return. They were hassle-free and prompt in accepting the return and issuing the credit.
This laptop is state of the art circa 2006. I thought I had found a nice work laptop but this totally missed the bill. The laptop comes with a code to activate window but the code was invalid and part of the mouse was missing. I began using the laptop since overstock agreed to send me a new code and the missing part but i immediately noticed how slow it was. Within a 48 hours it had shutdown several times because the processor couldn't handle me visiting websites that require a decent amount of PC power. I returned the laptop and with a bit of research i located a PC with a modern processor for roughly the same price. Given teh age of the PC and the spec this laptop should really be priced about $@#$ lower.

Is there any way to make the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page float at the bottom edge of the viewing page.
When long sentences run off the edge of view we have to slide to the bottom of the post; move the scroll to the right; then move back up the page to our previous spot we are reading.
Maybe the control I'm looking for is already present and I just need a little education.
Thanks, Scott

Sposta 9{ews ¡A news publication of the Salisfi and 'Kootenai 'Tribes of the Jlathead Indian Reservation Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 16, NUMBER 51 BITTER ROOT MONTH Mission Valley Power's 'vacation' seems over after dismissal of suit MISSOULA — An irrigators' lawsuit challenging an approved contract between the Tribes and the federal government was dismissed May 4 in Missoula's district court. Judge Charles Lovell dismissed the Joint Board of Control's contention that, among other things, its constituents would suffer injury if the contract — wherein the Indian Department agreed to let the Tribes have management of the power division of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project — were allowed to stand. Tribal attorney Pat Smith explained May 5 that the JBC in November of 1986 filed a challenge to the contract (signed on Oct. 21,1986), based on half-a-dozen allegations, including the idea that the U.S. Constitution protected their perceived property rights with regard to the irrigation project The group also claimed that the law used to back-up the contract, the Indian Self-Determination Act also known as "PL 93-638", actually prohibited the Interior Secretary from taking such action. Asking that the federal government be "permanently enjoined from implementing [the contract in question] or any other similar contract which attempts to delegate the operation and management of the FIIP power division to the Tribes", the JBC alleged that its constituents stood to suffer injury if its request were denied. (The board also requested, in a second suit, that the irrigators be given control of both the irrigation and power divisions, an issue that is still to be ad-(Concludes on page two) 10 10 «e 0) o 0» , to il §1 1600 surveys have made it back to Pablo The Tribal Council a year ago resolved to have all Tribal departments staffed solely by Tribal members by 1995. As a first step towards realizing the "100% by 1995" goal, Tribal Personnel drafted and distributed over 4,700 surveys to members 18 years old and older, to get a picture of what's out there in the way of educational background and work experience. Since then, Personnel's Ruth Swaney reports, about 1,600 surveys have been received from around the country, which is close to a 30% return—a good percentage, according to statistical standards. Still, that represents only 3 in 10 Tribal members, which means that more than half of the adult membership hasn't been heard from yet, in spite of the pink-postcard reminder campaign earlier this spring. In a cover letter announcing the survey, Tribal Chairman Mickey Pablo wrote that the resultant information would be used for recruiting purposes and to make a general assessment about the membership's over-all educational background. A few specially qualified questionnaire-returners have already been contacted to see if they're in' r-(Continued on page three)
