MIDLOTHIAN, TX, December 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) David Saunders, an active member of the CSA 2010 Task Force and CEO of Compliance Safety Systems, announces to the transportation industry his solution regarding the new CSA 2010 mandates.
In a recent interview, David shares, "Driver fitness and accountability will correct itself over the next 18 to 24 months with Electronic On Board Recorders, driver health and wellness programs and more stringent physical qualification processes, but an engine will always leak oil, a tire wear down, and a light burn out, so no technology will ever correct that."
He continues with, "Scorecards may be to the benefit of a fleet that is able to sustain the financial requirements of maintaining equipment, but that alone will not ensure that the business survives a law suit or that a third party conducting business with that company could not be named in that same lawsuit."
The real question from David to be asked is, "Which program and what standard will be accepted by the Public, and of course the Enforcement community"?
"Until that answer comes from a case law setting, I would be concentrating on how proactive you are on a day to day basis with your data by showing due diligence in equipment repairs and driver correctness, not when it updates in the MCMIS or when an Officer tells you about it."
"IT tools and systems that are available to help the fleet and driver are of course essential but just remember, David says: "Scorecard systems will never fix a Score, only your Policies, therefore you had better pay attention too and react daily to your inspection reports, not just each month when MCMIS updates."
David ends by saying, "if fleets will concentrate on enhanced driver training and maintenance programs" scores will not be low and easier to manage, "Fix the truck, you fix the score", or your business will not survive and the Public will not be won over."

2010-12-09
The election of Abraham Lincoln as the 16th president of the United States was the spark that lit the fire known as the "American Civil War." Many historians today consider the period of 1860 to 1865 as the most profoundly important era in the country's history.

Using new materials to make more reliable nanoelectromechanical systems
2010-12-08
Given their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes are attractive building blocks for next-generation nanoelectromechanical devices, including high-performance sensors, logic devices, and memory elements. However, manufacturing challenges associated with creating well-ordered arrays of individual carbon nanotubes and the nanotube-devices' prevalent failure modes have prevented any large-scale commercial use.
Now, researchers at Northwestern University, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies at Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, ...
Social relationships in animals have a genetic basis, UCLA biologists report
2010-12-08
The ability to tolerate aggression is partly genetic, UCLA life scientists report in the first study to demonstrate a genetic component to a social network trait in a non-human population.
"The ability to tolerate aggression is passed on across generations; there is genetic variation in the ability to tolerate aggression," said the study co-author Daniel T. Blumstein, professor and chair of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCLA.
Blumstein, a leader in the field of applying social network statistics to animals, and his colleagues studied four groups of yellow-bellied ...

Second-hand smoke increases risk of invasive meningococcal disease in children
Children exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to get invasive meningococcal disease than children who are not exposed, reports a study from Chien-Chang Lee at the Harvard School of Public Health (Boston, USA) and colleagues published in this week's PLoS Medicine. The authors also found a possible association of second-hand smoke exposure with invasive pneumococcal disease and Haemophilus influenzae type b.

Including smoking cessation program with treatment for PTSD shows higher rate of quitting
2010-12-08
Among smokers with military-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), integrating smoking cessation treatment with mental health care for PTSD resulted in higher rates of prolonged smoking abstinence, compared to referral for assistance with quitting smoking, according to a study in the December 8 issue of JAMA.
Nicotine dependence is more common among individuals with mental illness. "Posttraumatic stress disorder, a prevalent mental disorder, is highly associated with smoking (45 percent) and unsuccessful quit attempts. Individuals with PTSD smoke more heavily than ...
