Recycling of Cellular Telephones in Mainepleasure16
This document is a memorandum opinion from a United States District Court regarding the government's application for an order authorizing the installation and use of a pen register and caller identification system on two telephone numbers and the production of real-time cell site information. The court initially denied the application, finding the government needed to show probable cause to obtain real-time cell site information. The government then submitted a letter arguing existing statutes allow such information upon less than probable cause. The court examines these statutes and determines they do not authorize access to real-time cell site information without a showing of probable cause.

AWARENESS OF PERFORMANCE DECREMENTS DUE TO DISTRACTION IN YOUNGER ...pleasure16
This document provides 6 steps to protect yourself if you are at risk of being laid off from your job.
The steps are: 1) Establish private contact channels like a personal email and phone number. 2) Increase external networking through alumni groups and professional organizations. 3) Update your resume privately and collect recommendations. 4) Expand your online presence by registering a domain name. 5) Leave your current job before layoffs start to avoid credibility issues. 6) Take the steps before an actual layoff to prepare without tipping off your employer.
This study examined how well calibrated younger and older drivers were to performance decrements caused by distraction from cell phone use. Forty drivers completed driving tasks on a closed test track while performing a mental math task on a handheld or hands-free phone. Drivers' estimates of performance changes due to distraction were compared to actual changes measured across multiple driving performance measures. The results showed that drivers generally were not well calibrated to the magnitude of distraction effects, with some estimates even showing performance changes in the opposite direction of reality. Younger male drivers in particular tended to underestimate distraction impacts. The findings suggest that lack of awareness of distraction effects could influence drivers' decisions to engage in distracting activities.

This article summarizes an expert's opinion that cell phone records could help identify the Northwest Serial Rapist in Columbus, Ohio. The expert, Ben Levitan, believes that by analyzing the cell phone towers that picked up signals from the victims' phones during each attack, police could generate a list of phone numbers near each crime scene and likely identify one phone number common to all the lists, pointing to the rapist. The Columbus police are skeptical but say they will consider any potential leads. They continue to encourage women to take safety precautions.

This report summarizes a comparative accident study between years when a limousine company did and did not allow cell phone use. Survey results from drivers found most believed cell phone use increased distraction and accidents. Accident rates in categories like rear-end collisions and sideswipes decreased from 1998 to 1999 after the company introduced cell phones. However, the decreases were smaller than projections from studies finding 34-400% higher accident risks with cell phone use. The report examines literature on impacts of cell phone use on driving and identifies best practices to reduce risks.
