TSA Discriminates, But Inefficiently - Risking Lives and Wasting Resources, Says Law Prof
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 30, 2009 – It is also illogical and nonsensical from a mathematical point of view, and unfair to many Muslim and Arabic travelers, says Prof. John Banzhaf, developer of the statistical tool known as the "Banzhaf Index," and recognized for his work in mathematics and game theory.
The operating procedures manual accidentally posted on the Internet by the TSA shows that the agency is now using both ethnicity and religion, at least indirectly, as factors in screening. The manual instructs screeners to automatically select, for secondary screening, all citizens of 12 named countries. Aside from 2 Communist nations, all of the others have large Muslim populations, including 8 which are at least 90% Muslim, and most are Arabic. This hardly seems to be just a coincidence.
But since all travelers from these countries are automatically singled out for secondary screening, the system fails to distinguish between toddlers or elderly women from the suspect country on the one hand, and young males from these same countries on the other. Thus elderly women, young children, and others from these countries very unlikely to pose any threat are automatically singled out simply because of their country of origin; virtually all Muslim and most Arabic.
This system also would not have singled out Umar Farouk Abdulmutalib for secondary screening, even though he is a young male from the 4th most populous Muslim country, suspiciously used cash to buy a one-way ticket, was on a watch list, and chose a seat known to make the aircraft especially vulnerable to explosions.
This is important because explosive materials, and bombs without metallic detonators, do not set off the metal detectors all passengers are required to walk though, and the more thorough secondary screening techniques which may be able to detect them -- e.g., using whole-body imaging scanners, "puffer" bomb-detection machines, or a lengthy hand pat down -- are either too expensive and/or take too much time to be used on the majority of passengers.
Thus logic, and the mathematics of testing and inspections, dictates that the only efficient method is to largely single out for secondary inspection those passengers most likely to be terrorists, and not to select fliers for the more thorough secondary inspection completely at random as the TSA now claims it does.
One way to help identify passengers who are substantially more likely to be terrorists is to utilize, in combination with other recognized signs, factors like nationality, gender, and age -- and possibly even religion and ethnicity -- in selecting passengers for secondary screening. Both the Supreme Court and the Justice Department have indicated this is constitutional, provided only that no single factor is decisive -- as it unfortunately is under the current TSA system.
Increasing the probability that those singled out for secondary screening are terrorists by considering ethnicity and/or religion, as well as gender, age, how, when and where the ticket was purchased, the demeanor and clothing of the passenger, etc., is the only logical way to make secondary screening effective and efficient, and capable of stopping terrorists without unreasonably delaying the traveling public or requiring enormous expense for new equipment and TSA screeners.
While some have suggested that behavioral analysis -- a technique pioneered Israel -- is preferable, it seems unlikely that this would work efficiently in the U.S. with our current TSA screeners and huge number of passengers. Moreover, news reports suggest that Israel does in fact use some profiling techniques, logically giving more attention and scrutiny to young Arab males than to elderly Asian females or Jewish-American children.
"We readily accept the proposition that persons buying one-way tickets for cash, or those apparently wearing more clothing than necessary, should be subject to greater scrutiny, even though only a tiny minority may be terrorists, and the predictive effectiveness of these factors may be somewhat limited. It may be time to do the same for religion, ethnicity, gender and age, which may be at least as effective as predictors. Let's stop giving young Muslim males no greater scrutiny than elderly Asian women, just because it seems politically correct," says Banzhaf.

Wintry Weather Tightens Grip On Midwest
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 29, 2009 – Heavy snowfall across many parts of the County is expected to lead to extremely difficult driving conditions while the return to sub zero temperatures at night will remain in place until the early days of next week at least.
Clare County Council said that seven road gritting crews have been covering 580 kms of road network during the Christmas period. Treated roads include all national, primary and secondary routes, as well as heavily trafficked regional roads. The Council said it hoped to replenish salt supplies later this evening.
According to Mayor of Clare Councillor Tony Mulcahy (available for interview on 086-2436345): “I wish to compliment the outdoor staff of Clare County Council for working throughout the Christmas period in often extremely difficult circumstances to ensure that as many roads as possible were salted and gritted. Motorists should keep to gritted routes where possible.”
Meanwhile, the Mayor has called on neighbours, family and friends of older people to ensure that the elderly, particularly those living alone, are kept warm and have sufficient food during the current period of cold weather.
Mayor Mulcahy noted that fuel poverty affected more than seven per cent of all pensioner households, and older people were sometimes reluctant to use up their electricity and fuel allowances. “Therefore, it is important that people across the County do their bit to assist elderly neighbours and family members”, he added.
Mayor Mulcahy continued, “According to figures from Age Action Ireland some 1,500 to 2,000 more people die in the winter months compared to the rest of the year, due largely to poor housing standards. The percentage of excess deaths in Ireland is 19 per cent, but it is ten per cent in Finland. These figures highlight the importance of checking on elderly relatives and neighbours to make sure that they are warm, have enough food and adequate heating.”
He added: “Older people, particularly those living in isolated areas, are more vulnerable during colder spells of weather. There are a number of simple measures that can be taken by the general public in order to reduce the risk to old people during cold and inclement weather”.
The Mayor explained, “Those who are elderly and living alone should be checked on by neighbours, morning and evening. A special check should be made on those elderly or disadvantaged who are housebound. Practical help can be given by bringing in solid fuel, ensuring the water supply is sufficient and checking that there is sufficient food in the house, including non-perishable foods. Where neighbours are concerned or worried they should contact the appropriate emergency services including the health services.”
Councillor Mulcahy referred members of the public to Age Action Ireland’s website ageaction.ie, which he said featured practical tips and advice.

FDI Voice | Driving While Texting Kills - What will it Take to Get this Message Out | FDIVoice
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 29, 2009 – One in four (26%) of American teens of driving age say they have texted while driving, and half (48%) of all teens ages 12 to 17 say they’ve been a passenger while a driver has texted behind the wheel.
These findings are based on a new report from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project that looks at teens, mobile phones and distracted driving. The results were derived from a telephone survey of 800 teens' and parents’ use of mobile phones and 9 focus groups conducted in 4 U.S. cities between June and October 2009 with teens between the ages of 12 and 18.
“Many teens understand the risks of texting behind the wheel,” said Amanda Lenhart, Senior Research Specialist at the Internet & American Life Project and co-author of the distracted driving report, “but the desire to stay connected is so strong for teens and their parents that safety sometimes takes a backseat to staying in touch with friends and family.”
“Cell phones are often seen as devices that can make our lives more efficient, allowing us to multi-task in our idle moments,” said Mary Madden, Senior Research Specialist and co-author of the report, “and whether you’re a teenager or an adult, it’s tempting to think you can manage several different activities at once.”
For every two seconds a driver's eyes are off the road, a motorist is twice as likely to be involved in a crash, said Troy Green, national spokesman for AAA.
"Texting while driving ... requires your full attention and leaves no room for distraction," Green said. "You'd have to be foolish at best and delusional at worst to think you can send and receive text messages while operating a motor vehicle effectively and safely....
We believe that's something that should be banned."
Texting and cell phone use have been blamed for numerous deadly crashes in the past few years
A recently released study (PDF) by the VirginiaTech Transportation Institute found that truck drivers who were texting were 23 times more at risk of a "crash or near crash event" than "nondistracted driving." As per talking on a cell phone, the same study found no increased risk for truck drivers and 1.3 times the risk for car drivers. There was considerably more risk associated with dialing while driving. The institute's Richard Hanowski acknowledges that the numbers are likely to be different with car drivers. As reported by CNET's Jennifer Guevin, the study also found that "texting took a driver's focus away from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds--enough time...to travel the length of a football field at 55 mph."
Teens at biggest risk
When it comes to texting while driving, teens are a particular risk group considering that, according to Nielsen (PDF), "The average U.S. mobile teen now sends or receives an average of 2,899 text-messages per month" and apparently some of those texts are being sent and read from behind the wheel.
A 2007 study conducted by AAA and Seventeen magazine has been widely misquoted as 46 percent of teens admit to texting while driving. But what the study found is that "61 percent of teens admit to risky driving habits." Forty-six percent of that 61 percent say that they text message while driving.
This issue is in the news a bit more than usual these days because of a shocking video created by a police department in the UK. It depicts a teenage girl texting while driving followed by a terrible crash with gruesome results for her friends in her car and the family whose car she hit. Before viewing the video (scroll down) please be aware that it is graphic and very disturbing. And before forwarding it to a teenager, also be aware that many youth risk prevention specialists question the effectiveness of videos that try to use shock value to change teen behavior.
Video is a Dramatization, but it is graphic in nature- Warning!

Express Technologies Expands Logistics Data Center
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 17, 2009 – Express Technologies has announced a major expansion to its LoadTech Logistics Data Center.
Originally opened in January 2007, the data center provides high-availability and high-capacity logistics platforms for the LoadTech transportation software. The center offers true cloud computing and logistics-software-as-a-service.
The expansion more than doubles the center’s capacity. The new state-of-the-art technology ensures that the company will remain a leader in enterprise solutions to logistics service providers.
The facility boasts a sophisticated R&D lab, 24x7 manned security, multi-redundancy in telecomm and power, plus guaranteed uptime. It is ISO and SAS70 compliant. The expansion also accommodates Express Technologies' growing staff. As an added benefit, the LoadTech data center offers significant advantages for companies seeking to fulfill sustainability and green initiatives.
“This is an investment in our clients and in the future,” noted Brandon Barnhart, Director of Transportation Solutions. “The expansion means that our software and upgrades provide even more value to our clients. We have been ahead of the trends in Logistics IT toward managed services, SAAS, and outsourcing. The data center has been our springboard for further growth.”
Paul Maloney, President and CEO adds, “The acceptance of our LoadTech software and data center services in the marketplace has validated our approach. This expansion further lowers the cost-of-entry for prospective clients and lowers cost-of-upgrade/expansion for existing users. Our investment places enterprise-class software and infrastructure within reach of all transportation firms, eliminating cap-ex issues and delivering cash flow and tax advantages. It benefits both new customers as well as veteran customers who want to improve their systems. This makes an already valuable solution more attractive to our logistics target market.”
The expansion continues the firm’s initiative to offer the transportation industry a variety of system deployment and acquisition options. “Logistics service providers and their IT departments have myriad options with LoadTech: Traditional licensing, transactional monthly fees, leasing, renting, and SAAS. Moreover, the market gains options to deploy LoadTech on their own servers, at a third-party co-location center, or in the LoadTech data center,” Mr. Maloney continues. “It allows our prospective clients to mix-and-match both software acquisition terms and deployment configurations. Existing users can choose to upgrade their capabilities by migrating their existing system to the LoadTech Data Center. This multitude of options meets both IT strategies and corporate budgets without cutting corners.”
"The trend in logistics toward cloud computing, global reach, consolidation, and data center operations has been well noted by the transportation trade press and analysts," explained Mr. Barnhart. "The expansion allows our customers to expand capacity and capability while at the same time reducing costs, which is significant in this freight market."
The new facility is located in Pittsburgh, PA. Because the firm has a worldwide clientele, the data center is accessible around the globe 24/7/365.
Express Technologies is a national leader in software and systems for the transportation, distribution, and logistics industries. The firm’s flagship system, LoadTech, serves carriers, brokers, 3PL’s, intermodal, and international operations. Headquartered near Pittsburgh, PA, the firm’s mission is to be the nation’s leading provider of technical solutions to the transportation industry.

Long Awaited Cummins Training Released by Team AVI
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 15, 2009 – Cummins are one of the easiest diesel systems to work on and are a great way for gas technicians to get their feet wet with diesel diagnostics and repair. This class will help diesel shops who are interested in learning more about the Cummins system and gas technicians who would like to get into diesel work.
With the information contained in this class, you will be able to diagnose any 5.9 Dodge Cummins from 2002 to 2009 in 15 minutes or less. Dave explains fuel system analysis with complete low pressure diagnosis. He covers the high pressure side of the fuel system including the common rail, connector tubes and injector diagnosis. The program explains all the sensor inputs on the vehicle, boost and the intake side of the system including turbo chargers and intercoolers.
Dave provides troubleshooting tips including what to do when all the controllers do not talk to each other. The program covers multiplex bus systems and provides the skills to diagnose multiplex bus issues in less than two minutes. The PCI bus system is covered, which is the system Chrysler uses to interface multiple controllers together. When those systems go down a scanner cannot communicate with the system.
This 2 hour DVD teaches you how to diagnose all these systems very quickly. Dave shows you how to diagnose not only the PCI bus system but also the CAN systems that are used in the newer models. The program uses the OTC Genisys, Snap-On Modis and OEM scanner for diagnostics and shows you how to diagnose Cummins with any generic or OEM scan tool. A supplemental manual is included with the program.
For more information about this class or any other AVI training programs, please visit the website at www.auto-video.com or call (800) 718-7246 ext. 233.

Hazard Awareness Test - How to Pass the Hazard Awareness Test
PR Log (Press Release) –
Dec 01, 2009 – Before you can gain your full driving license, you have to complete what is known as a Theory Test. The test has different parts, and one of these is the Hazard Perception Test. The Hazard Perception part of the theory test is where you are required to view 14 hazard video clips on a computer screen, which last around one minute each. You are required to watch these videos as if you were a driver. There will be 15 hazards in the 14 video clips. This means there will be two hazards on one of the videos. Please be aware, the videos do not include sound.
The types of hazard video clips you will be watching are:
» pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road
» vehicles emerging from side roads, parking places or driveways
» large vehicles moving over to your side of the road
» meeting oncoming vehicles on narrow roads or where other obstructions or slow moving vehicles make the road narrow
» loose pets and farmyard animals
» changes in the traffic movement and volume
» junctions and roundabouts
» horse riders
» weather conditions of the day
» road surfaces
» parked vehicles
» hidden junctions & turns
So as you now know what to expect for the hazard awareness test, how do you best prepare for it?
Take a car journey and test yourself by watching the road ahead. This could be done whilst on your driving test. You will notice many hazards by concentrating like this. So being aware will help you.
Although the Driving Standards Agency does not release the actual hazard perception test clips, there are books and multimedia that have example hazard perception test clips, which will help.
Now you know what to expect. Prepare fully and try asking your driving instructor for advice also.

Winston-Salem, NC Car Dealer Has A Soft Spot For Ford Mustangs
PR Log (Press Release) –
Nov 23, 2009 – As a little boy, Tracy Myers of Frank Myers Auto Maxx in Winston-Salem, NC, desperately wanted a red 1965 Ford Mustang. so much so that he was determined to get one when he turned 16.
Myers saved up all the money he earned working in the detail shop at his family's car dealership and started his own mobile DJ business (backed by a loan from his dad).
"He wanted that car so badly," said Frank Myers. "However, I knew that a 1965 model would be one of two things - a show car that we couldn't afford or a money pit. So I was able to convince him to get a red convertible 1985 model Mustang instead."
Myers wasn't the first and won't be the last teen smitten with Mustang. According to a survey by TRU (Teenage Research Unlimited), an organization specializing in youth market research, when asked which new car they would most like to buy, the majority of teens chose the Ford Mustang.
The "cool" factor of the Ford Mustang and the strong emotional response the vehicle evokes has been attracting people of all ages to the iconic muscle car ever since the first vehicle debuted at the World's Fair in New York in 1964. Today, one of out of every two sports cars sold in America is a Mustang.
"The Mustang is a part of Americana; it is part of our culture and who we are," said Robert Parker, Ford car marketing manager. "It's the kind of car that makes you feel different when you're driving it, whether you're a teenager or not."
Fritz Wilke, Ford Mustang brand manager, says he believes the Mustang ranks highly among teenagers because of its iconic status and because it's attainable.
"Mustang starts out at a price point that is within a teen's reach," he said, citing that some models are priced below $20,000. "It's a little more realistic than other much more expensive sports cars."
Mustang's prominence in toys, video games, television shows and movies also enhances its appeal to teens, adds Parker. The vehicle has been featured in more than 300 movies and television shows, most recently I am Legend, Transformers and the new Knight Rider television series.
"In almost all instances, the Mustang is used as a metaphor for power, performance and coolness," said Parker. "Whoever's driving it has a unique personality that sets them apart from the crowd."
Another reason for teens' fascination with the Mustang may be the fact that it's an accessory-friendly vehicle. Teens, among others, love to customize their cars. In fact, Mustang leads the nearly $1 billion aftermarket parts and accessories industry as the most personalized vehicle of all time.
Like Myers however, most teens are unable to buy a vehicle without financial help from their parents. J.D. Power and Associates estimates that only 1.2 percent of new car buyers are under the age of 21. Helping some parents tip the scale in favor of the Ford Mustang are the quality and safety accolades the vehicle has earned.
Last year, Mustang came out on top in three major consumer surveys sponsored by J.D. Power & Associates - the Initial Quality Study (IQS), the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, and the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS). In addition, the 2008 Mustang convertible became the first sports car and the first convertible to earn the highest possible safety ratings in new car tests performed by the U.S. government.
Ford Chief Engineer for Safety Systems Steve Kozak gave his teenage daughter a 2008 Mustang convertible as a graduation gift.
"Having a Mustang convertible as her first car is something my daughter will remember for the rest of her life," said Kozak. "My wife and I are happy knowing that, while she's having the time of her life, she'll be driving the top safety-rated convertible on the market."
The Ford Mustang, introduced in 1964, is Ford Motor Company's (NYSE:F) longest-running nameplate. Mustang sales hit an astounding 419,000 in its first 12 months on the market and topped the 1-million mark in the first two years, shattering the sales records of any single model in the history of the automobile.
Ford built its 9 millionth Mustang this year, and the company is commemorating another important milestone in pony car history with a special 45th anniversary edition for the 2009 model year.
Only a limited number of 2009 Mustangs - featuring 45th anniversary badging - are currently available for purchase, fueling speculation that the 2009 Ford Mustang model may one day become a collector's item.

Ocean Freight Rates Are On The Rise!
PRLog (Press Release) –
Sep 23, 2009 – Ocean freight rates are on the rise. This is particularly true of ocean container shipments. In the last three months average ocean freight rates (container transport particularly) have climbed up to 55%. Have you renegotiated your rates lately? If not now is the time!
Effectively negotiating ocean freight is not so simple and depends on knowing a fair amount of detail. Will you have many “one-time” shipments, or more a repetitive business with each shipper? How much product are you shipping at one time, or if repetitive, each shipment? If repetitive, how often? The answers to these questions also determine if you want to use a freight forwarder or negotiate directly with the ocean carriers.
Door to door transit time is also a huge consideration. Will you ship to a major or “gateway” port and then truck to multiple distribution centers? Or will it all go to one DC? If you are planning on moving the containers intact to an inland DC, some difficulty may arise depending on the ocean carrier, and rail charges can be quite high. A forwarder (or the customs broker) can often manage the container delivery trucking to and from the port much better than a carrier (if the carrier even would). Otherwise you must arrange the trucking.
There are quite a few charges that may be a part of the total ocean / delivery transport costs on a typical import shipment. Some may be negotiable with the carrier / forwarder (given sufficient volume and frequency) and if you understand how ocean freight rates are calculated.
Let’s take a look at what some ocean freight cost components might be:
BAF - Bunker Adjustment Factor Surcharge
ACC - Alameda Corridor Surcharge
PNC - Panama Canal Charge
SUZ - Suez Transit Surcharge
PSS - Peak Season Surcharge
AMS - Advance Manifest Surcharge
CHS - Chassis Usage Surcharge
CAF - Currency Adjustment Factor
DDC - Destination Delivery Charge
THC - Terminal Handling Charge
ARB - Origin Arbitraries
AGS - Aden Gulf Surcharge
WRS - War Risk Surcharge
Depending on your terms of sale (Incoterms) you may pay origin charges including:
ORC - Origin Receiving Charge
ODF - Origin Documentation Fees
THC - Terminal Handling Charges
DTHC - Destination Terminal Handling Charges
If your shipment is moving inland from the port you may pay:
DDC - Destination Delivery Charges
IPI - Inland Point Intermodal or MLB - MiniLandBridge
IFC - Inland Fuel Surcharge
In addition, your container freight rate may depend on the actual commodity being shipped.
Of course there are the myriad of other costs not directly associated with the ocean freight or container rate, some of which include:
Importer security Filing (ISF or 10+2)
Customs Brokerage
Duty & Taxes
Stripping and / or Transloading of Containers
Interim warehousing
and, and, and …
If you need more detail or clarification, we will be happy to work with you to setup a bid or RFP (Request For Proposal), or to audit or review your current rates and processes for possible improvement.
Whatever you do, plan for success! Poor planning can result in much headache and unnecessary expense. Great success will follow your good planning.

Individueel En Onafhankelijk Mobiel
PRLog (Press Release) –
Sep 17, 2009 – Hamburg, 17.09.2009. Aankomen op de luchthaven en in minder dan een kwartier de sleutels van uw huurauto overhandigd krijgen, is een absolute luxe. Daarnaast is het tegenwoordig een absolute múst om de vakantiebestemming te verkennen op eigen tempo. Alle reizigers genieten graag door het huren van een auto van extra vrijheid. Zelfs in tijden van crisis geven de vakantiegangers graag geld uit aan autoverhuur.
Het online boeken van een huurauto bij een huurautobroker bezit tal van voordelen. Zo gaat het hele boekingsproces online veel sneller, omdat er direct in de databases van meerdere huurautoaanbieders gekeken wordt; is er meteen duidelijk welke huurauto’s beschikbaar zijn en komen all-inclusive prijzen tevoorschijn, zodat men niet voor onaangename verrassingen komt te staan. Lokale heffingen en belastingen; reserveringskosten, credit cardkosten en alle kilometers zijn vrijwel altijd reeds bij de prijs inbegrepen.
Een broker is meestal 7 dagen per week bereikbaar in combinatie met een bijhorende klantenservice en dit probleemloos per email of telefoon.
De autobemiddelaar zélf beschikt niet over een eigen huurautopark, daar deze samenwerkt met gerenommeerde internationale autoverhuurders, die hun net van kantoren aanbieden voor het ophalen en terugbrengen van de huurauto.
Hierdoor kan men meer investeren in huurcontingenten en mogelijke aanbiedingen én wordt er meer aandacht besteed aan de klant zelf!
De klant kan zich daarnaast inschrijven voor de online nieuwsbrief waarbij tal van voordelen en kortingen worden aangeboden.
Er wordt bovendien graag geluisterd naar de feedback van de klant. Deze worden geanalyseerd en resulteren in verbetering van het product.
De vakantieautobemiddelaar CarDelMar doet hierbij zijn naam eer aan.
CarDelMar kan door zijn inkoopstrategie veelal beduidend lagere tarieven aanbieden dan bij een rechtstreekse boeking bij de partners zelf. De goede service blijft onaangetast en de klant wordt bij eventuele vragen of problemen op een professionele manier te woord gestaan.

Een broker is meestal 7 dagen per week bereikbaar in combinatie met een bijhorende klantenservice en dit probleemloos per email of telefoon.
De autobemiddelaar zélf beschikt niet over een eigen huurautopark, daar deze samenwerkt met gerenommeerde internationale autoverhuurders, die hun net van kantoren aanbieden voor het ophalen en terugbrengen van de huurauto.
Hierdoor kan men meer investeren in huurcontingenten en mogelijke aanbiedingen én wordt er meer aandacht besteed aan de klant zelf!
De klant kan zich daarnaast inschrijven voor de online nieuwsbrief waarbij tal van voordelen en kortingen worden aangeboden.
Er wordt bovendien graag geluisterd naar de feedback van de klant. Deze worden geanalyseerd en resulteren in verbetering van het product.
De vakantieautobemiddelaar CarDelMar doet hierbij zijn naam eer aan.
CarDelMar kan door zijn inkoopstrategie veelal beduidend lagere tarieven aanbieden dan bij een rechtstreekse boeking bij de partners zelf. De goede service blijft onaangetast en de klant wordt bij eventuele vragen of problemen op een professionele manier te woord gestaan.

According to TechNavio analysts, “The Refrigerated Road Transport vehicles in France are expected to grow at an average rate of 1.8 percent per annum, till 2012. The increased demand for frozen food and the consumption of food are aiding the growth of the Refrigerated Transport market in France.”

This is driving the growth for refrigerated vehicles, equipped with the latest technology.”
TechNavio analysts also state, “In terms of expenditure on food and related items, France is the leading country in Europe and the third in the world. It is also the largest importer of agricultural products from the U.S. These trends directly results in the growth of refrigerated transport.”
The report by TechNavio Insights includes a detailed analysis of the France Refrigerated Road Transport industry. The market size is evaluated on the basis of the number of Refrigerated Road Transport vehicles found in France.

GM Set to Launch Money-Back Guarantee
PRLog (Press Release) –
Sep 15, 2009 – Detroit, Michigan - General Motors Co. is taking a page from Winston-Salem, NC used car dealer Frank Myers Auto Maxx with its latest marketing blitz in an effort sell more cars: a money-back guarantee.
The initiative - while unorthodox for an automaker - is nothing new for Frank Myers Auto. They started their “100% Iron-Clad Money Back Guarantee” back in 2007 and covers all Certified Pre-Owned vehicles...regardless of the make or model. GM’s program will only cover 2009 and 2010 model-year cars from GM's surviving brands, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. The program will run through Nov. 30 as part of a "May the Best Car Win" campaign aimed at convincing consumers to return to GM.
The company (GM.) once held half of the U.S. market, but quality issues on some of its models in the 1970s through the 1990s put a damper on GM's reputation among car buyers. It now has about 20 percent of the market.
On the other end of the spectrum, Frank Myers Auto continues to dominate the used car market by recently being named one of the top 30 used car dealers in the United States for the third year in a row.
Tracy Myers, the owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, said that he hopes this latest offer is not just more “smoke and mirrors” by a new car company.
"It’s about time that GM started giving consumers what they wanted. However, if they are so confident in their current product line-up, why don’t they make their money-back guarantee permanent? I can’t understand why they are ending their program in November. Rest assured, Frank Myers Auto will continue our 100% Iron-Clad Money Back Guarantee long after General Motors has stopped theirs," he said in a statement.

Mayor Urges Delta To Reconsider Shannon Pullout
PRLog (Press Release) –
Sep 14, 2009 – Councillor Sean McLoughlin said the American carrier’s basis for ending the 13 year-old service did not stand up.
He said: “The airline claimed that low yield factors had determined their decision to end the service. However, the service carried 30,000 passengers last winter alone. Furthermore, the number of persons using the service has dramatically increased in recent weeks. One flight this weekend, for example, was operating at full capacity. Much of these increases can be attributed to the introduction of pre-clearance facilities at Shannon and the airline’s decision to lower its fares.”
“Aer Lingus’s announcement that it will not be utilising the US pre-clearance facilities until mid-2010 at the earliest, along with the imminent withdrawal of Delta’s long standing service and ongoing doubts over the future of Aer Lingus’s Shannon to New York service have completely undermined efforts at Shannon Airport to develop new business. The opportunities presented to airlines by the presence of the pre-clearance facilities are numerous but appear to be having little impact on business growth at the airport at present”, commented the Mayor.
Councillor McLoughlin suggested that the Shannon Airport Authority should introduce an additional landing charge incentive scheme in a bid to boost transatlantic traffic and attract new operators.
He continued: “Evidence from around the world indicates that incentive schemes for airlines planning to operate new long haul routes are very successful and generate significant benefits for the airports in question. The Shannon Airport Authority, in conjunction with the Dublin Airport Authority, should explore such options as a 5-Year incentive scheme which could offer free landing and parking charges for the first 3 years, as well as 75% and 50% discounts for the following 2 years respectively. Another possibility would be to offer 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 15% discounts respectively on landing and parking charges.”
“If Shannon Airport is to ever be afforded independent status then it must be given a free hand in matters such as its own marketing strategies. If this does not happen then I fear that Shannon Airport’s transatlantic business will continue to decline”, concluded Mayor McLoughlin.

Travel Around City Metro, Florida
PRLog (Press Release) –
Sep 10, 2009 – Travel and vacation have been linked as part of our recreational playgrounds. Every time we have a vacation we start thinking of things to stroll around particularly breakholiday destination. Before we can get on to our holiday excursion there are several aspects we have to be concerned about before we can feed ourselves to holiday delight! Restis a time where we can take a breather from our wearing hours of work. Every holiday has its definitive spot on where to use out our hiatus period.
Vacations are part of our free time, in our break from our laborious day jobs we find ways to unwind and use up certain time with our friends and families, these are valuable things that we need to bear in mind before stuffing our gear and breakout from the humdrum limits of our house. The realsubject is "Where are we going to spend the night", some answers may say, spending the entire week to our grandmothers house or simply put together a base camp on the riverbank which are not the best ideas. In fact you to skip washing the dishes, cooking your lunch, dinner, and taking care of that stinky trash would be the least thing you’ll ever do. Given that it's holiday all you have to do is relax, relax and relax!
Time to pack out and get out of that room pal! Hotels are like mushrooms, they grow in all places. Now if you sense that cooking food for breakfast is a daunting chore, think again! Hotels can do the job for you while you get pleasure from riding your bed to relaxation. But before setting your foot to hotels you must also bear in mind certain matters before getting your keys. Cash has been a exceptionally great subject to a deluxe lodging if you have a fixed finances discount those silver spoons and deluxe suites and find low-priced hotels which balances your budget. If you are lured to spend nearly all of your days in a hotel you must think about things that would obviously get you high on the groove of serenity and ecstacy of relaxation, kick that money issue out!
Comfort is always predicated to any sort of accommodations. From Hostels, apartelles, to motels, everything that have beds must be according to your taste. Five star hotels are all over, depending on the tourist attraction costs may vary from hundreds to thousands a night. Everyone wants luxury with the lowest rates, but before signing those receipts and spending a lot of tips to unreasonable for mischievous bell boys, you should primarily take notice of the hotel services and its facilities. Is the money worth the comfort?
Hotels are not just renowned for the stars they carry and gigantic chandeliers behind those dazzling lights. Attention to detail should be one of their top-quality qualities, a glass of champagne or a glass of sparkling water would do once you get through to the reception area. This would give a decent reception impression to their regulars. Also lovely hotel assistance should always go along with its visitors, moreover carrying their gear courteously with a lovely grin would give the most excellent} impression. As a hotel guests you are at liberty to any comfort you need, and as a hotel guests you are oblige to remark favorably on their services by expressing thanks for their hospitality and magnificent service or by giving away those loose change.
Behind those marvelously crafted facades, inside are facilities that are well worth for your money. Well every visitors must have their choices of meals, spa and aerobics studio etc., these are just few of the amenities below the roof of a five star hotel. If these recreational amenities aren’t on the list of your accommodation all you have to do is unpacked and get out. Well you don’t want your money roll out for nothing don’t you?
Choosing the right locations for your holiday hideaway seems to set you in dilemma. Besides getting stressed out from work, burdens of choosing the best leisure spot seems to hit you whenever the needs to relax sips into your thoughts. But if you’ll perform some research to travel guide directories, searching for hotel is just having fun like eating your beloved dessert.

Twin hose single pump added to Merridale range
PRLog (Press Release) –

The unit is designed to operate only one nozzle at any time. The single grade unit can feature a built in fuel management system and tank gauge, if required.

Have You Considered the Benefits of a Camper van Holiday in Ireland?
PRLog (Press Release) –
Aug 27, 2009 – Now you need to decide what sort of holiday in Ireland you want to have. Do you take in the cosmopolitan bright lights of Dublin, Cork and the other large cities, or explore the smaller villages off the beaten track? Do you want to take historical tours or carry out your own research into the pub that pours the best Guinness? Why choose? Why not do it all, with a camper van holiday in Ireland (vacances en camping-car Irlande) with Celticcampervans.com?
Consider the many benefits of a camper van holiday in Ireland when compared with a holiday based in hotels or self-catered apartments. Firstly, there is the freedom. You need not plan your itinerary at all if you don’t want to. Simply collect your modern and comfortable motorhome (2 to 4 berth or 4 to 6 berth) from Celtic Campervans from just outside Dublin airport and you’re on your way, with only the borders of Ireland and your imagination as limitation!
Then there’s the accessibility that camper hire in Ireland (location de camping-car Irlande) affords. It’s a shame if you read about the famed Irish welcome yet only get the chance to experience it at hotel receptions. It’s far easier to meet Irish people from all walks of life on your travels on the winding roads of Ireland. And the Irish scenery is undeniably beautiful from a coach or train window, or glimpsed briefly on a whistle-stop group tour, but it takes on a beauty all of its own when you are part of that scenery, your campervan parked up for the night in a self-discovered beauty spot.
Not forgetting the luxury; not a word that has been historically linked to campervans, but in the case of Celtic Campervans, one that is certainly apt. All of the motorhomes in the Celtic Campervans’ fleet are 2008 models: powerful, easy to drive, spacious and comfortable and equipped with all the mod-cons. The clean and modern sleeping, relaxing, cooking, washing and toilet facilities make even long expeditions enjoyable and mean that relying on campsite facilities is a thing of the past.
Finally, there’s the price. A holiday where the travel and accommodation is rolled into one is always going to be hard to beat for value. And Celticcampervans.com regularly features special offers that make campervans for hire in Ireland (camping-cars à louer Irlande) an even cheaper holiday option. Discover the latest 15% off daily hire rate offer, and much more, at www.celticcampervans.com.

"By eliminating barriers to transit use and improving the rider experience, Dadnab increases ridership and reduces dependency on the automobile," continues Cauvin.

After an in-depth selection process Jark chose TruTac, because of their impressive performance history, excellent turnaround times and innovative product range.
“We were very impressed with TruTac’s TruControl analysis product and the quality of their service generally,” states Marc Fleckney, Jark’s Corporate Development Manager. “We needed a partner who could uphold our high levels of service and provide superior management reporting to enable us to accurately monitor and manage drivers and vehicle compliance for our clients”.
TruTac is working closely with Jark on a number of Master Vendor on-site client projects, assisting them in managing and reducing infringements whilst improving compliance levels and helping to protect their O’licence. Jark has realised this partnership adds value to their clients in a number of ways; including reducing VOSA inspections and graduated penalties fines.
Terry Ramsey, TruTac’s Managing Director states “We are pleased our strategy of retaining service levels while developing new products is continuing to serve us well. During a time in which the market is struggling, we have seen competitors use this as an excuse to drop service levels; by charging customers peak rate fees for accessing help lines and reducing analysis quality.

Jark has recognised our business model compliments theirs and as a team we have already won new clients and plan to expand into new market sectors.”
