GPS used to monitor commercial drivers (fwd)
by attila 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

so, how long before they add the device to our cars? DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration 49 CFR Part 395 Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of interpretation; request for participation in pilot demonstration project. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The FHWA believes global positioning system (GPS) technology and many of the complementary safety management computer systems currently being used by the motor carrier industry, provide at least the same degree of monitoring accuracy as the ``automatic on-board recorders'' allowed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), 49 CFR 395.15. Accordingly, the FHWA is announcing a voluntary program under which a motor carrier with GPS technology and related safety management computer systems may enter into an agreement with the FHWA to use such systems in a pilot demonstration project to record and monitor drivers' hours of service in lieu of complying with the handwritten ``records of duty status'' requirement of the FMCSRs, 49 CFR 395.8. Consistent with the President's initiatives in reinventing government and regulatory reform, the project is intended to demonstrate whether the motor carrier industry can use the technology to improve compliance with the hours-of-service requirements in a manner which promotes safety and operational efficiency while reducing paperwork requirements. <snip> Background On September 30, 1988, the FHWA published a final rule (53 FR 38666) {interesting number?} to allow motor carriers, at their option, to use certain automatic on-board recording devices to record their drivers' records of duty status in lieu of the required handwritten records of duty status. This provision is now codified at 49 CFR 395.15. Many motor carriers that employed that technology found that their compliance with the hours-of-service regulations improved. New technologies are emerging, however, and the narrowly crafted on-board recorder provision is becoming obsolete. <snip> The FHWA is aware of the benefits of GPS technology to monitor and control drivers' compliance with the hours-of-service regulations. <snip> Premise: Section 395.2 of the FMCSRs defines an ``automatic on- board recording device'' as ``an electric, electronic, electromechanical, or mechanical device capable of recording driver's duty status information accurately and automatically as required by Sec. 395.15. The device must be integrally synchronized with specific operations of the commercial motor vehicle in which it is installed. At a minimum, the device must record engine use, road speed, miles driven, the date, and time of day.'' Section 395.15 of the FMCSRs provides motor carriers the authority to use ``automatic on-board recording devices'' to record their drivers' hours-of-service in lieu of complying with the handwritten record of duty status requirements of Sec. 395.8. <snip> Issued on: March 25, 1998. Gloria J. Jeff, Deputy Federal Highway Administrator.

Subject: PLEEEEEEEZ READ
by Carol 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

First, I'd like to tell you to REALLY read this and REALLY give it some thought before you say, "it doesn't work". It works. But you have to follow it and do everything just like it says. Read through this a couple of times to fully understand how it works. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. If you need extra cash it's worth it. READ ON....................... THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY A little while back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, but I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. The main difference between this system and others is that you have a mailing list of 6 instead of 5... This means that your average gain will be app. 15 times higher!!! So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00.............plus postage Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon, and didn't give it another thought. But the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly....... It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" (include your name and address). Now get 6 US$1.00 bills (or equivalent in your local currency) and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses #1 PM 4855 E. Brown Rd #103 Mesa, Arizona, 85205 #2 D Richardson 4876 Princess Ann Rd # 118 Box 319 Va Beach, Virginia, 23462 #3 CWright 5384 Liecester Ct Va Beach, Virginia, 23462 #4 G. Fox 4 Amber Beach Rd Marietta, NY 13110 #5 s cadwell po box 5905 rochester,mn 55903 #6 M Evans P.O. Box 30866 Phoenix, AZ 85036 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: ----------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTIONS - HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS ----------------------------------------------------------- Step 1. You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and click and hold down your mouse button. While continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag your cursor to the bottom of this document and over to just after the last character, and release the mouse button. At this point the entire letter should be highlighted. Then, from the 'edit' pull down menu at the top of your screen select 'copy'. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2. Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' pull down menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Remember to eliminate the #1 position, move everyone up a spot (re-number everyone elses positions), and add yourself in as #6. Step 3. Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. ---------------------------------------- FOR NETSCAPE USERS: ---------------------------------------- Step 4. Within the Netscape program, go to the pull-down window entitled 'Window' select 'NetscapeNews'. Then from the pull down menu 'Options', select 'Show all Newsgroups'. After a few moments a list of all the newsgroups on your server will show up. Click on any newsgroup you desire. From within this newsgroup, click on the 'TO NEWS' button, which should be in the top left corner of the newsgroups page. This will bring up a message box. Step 5. Fill in the Subject. This will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group. Step 6. Highlight the entire contents of your .txt file and copy them using the same technique as before. Go back to the newsgroup 'TO NEWS' posting you are creating and paste the letter into the body of your posting. Step 7. Hit the 'Send' Button in the upper left corner. You're done with your first one! Congratulations... -------------------------------------------------- INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: -------------------------------------------------- Step 4. Go to newsgroups and select 'Post an Article'. Step 5. Fill in the subject. Step 6. Same as #6 above Step 7. Hit the 'Post' button. ------------------------------------------- THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within day's! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. **MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #6 $15.00 at #5 $225.00 at #4 $3,375.00 at #3 $50,625.00 at #2 $759,375.00 at #1 $11,390,625.00 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH

ACP will also report on the coalition's growth and future plans, as well as the response to its on-line advertising initiative. WHO: ACP Executive Director Ed Gillespie; Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.); Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.); Rep. Sam Gejdenson (D-Conn.); Rep. Rick White (R-Wash.); Sen. John Ashcroft (R-Mo.); Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont.); Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.); Robert Holleyman, Business Software Alliance; Jerry Berman, Center for Democracy and Technology; and Grover Norquist, Americans for Tax Reform. WHEN: Wednesday, Oct. 7, 11 a.m. WHERE: Room HC-7, U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C. BACKGROUND: Since its formal launch in March 1998, ACP has worked closely with Congress and the Administration on encryption policy reform. While ACP acknowledges that progress has been made, the coalition believes the encryption issue is far from resolved. Americans for Computer Privacy brings together more than 100 companies and 40 associations representing financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, high-tech and transportation, as well as law enforcement, civil-liberty, pro-family and taxpayer groups.

Note that I've added a few comments/notes between the supplied quoted sections. As always I've deleted for brevity. Forwarded message: > X-within-URL: http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1998/10/02/internet.tax.ap/ > By CURT ANDERSON > AP Tax Writer > > WASHINGTON (AP) Legislation allowing states to force mail order and > Internet businesses to collect sales taxes failed in the Senate Friday > as debate began on how to tax cyberspace commerce. > > Senators voted 65-30 to table, or kill, an amendment authorizing any > state to require companies with significant catalog, mail order or > Internet sales to collect their sales tax and send it back to the > state. > > The sponsor, Sen. Dale Bumpers, noted that every business operating in > a state with a sales tax must already collect and remit the revenue. > He said the amendment effectively would reverse a 1992 Supreme Court > decision preventing states from enforcing sales taxes on companies > located outside their borders. Section 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State. (Note that it doesn't say "Congress shall make no law..." but rather is an absolute prohibition of taxes/duties on exports of states. It therefore falls under the "prohibited" clause of the 10th.) > "If they choose to have a sales tax, the federal government should > allow them to enforce it," said Bumpers, D-Ark. > > Opponents, however, called the measure a hidden tax increase and were > able easily to defeat it for the sixth straight year. > > "Since this tax has never been collected, there's only one way to view > it," said Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz. As unconstitutional. [remainder deleted] ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder. Ancient Persian Proverb The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
