Domestic abuse advocates say the new law could go a long way toward keeping victims of domestic abuse safe.

The gps kids watch tracking devices alert police if violators enter restricted areas under their restraining orders.

The new law says only those who have already violated a restraining order could be subject to the gps kids watch monitoring.

Anyone who violates a no-contact order could spend up to nine months in jail and fines in addition to the gps kids watch tracking, reported WISN News. Additionally violators are responsible for a $200 surcharge to cover the tracking costs.

gps kids watch tracking technology has brought the historic Qantas Link Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race (one of biggest yacht races in Australia) into a new era.

The race will be watched by more fans than ever before, thanks to the latest in gps kids watch tracking technology that will allow millions worldwide to watch the progress of every yacht in real time, as they battle it out across the sea.

Fans will be able to get just as involved in the race as if they were part of the crew. Users can not only view information about each yacht and its progress, they can also access analysis on a yacht’s average speed and handicap to get a running account of the expected result.

The gps kids watch tracking” href=”http://www.fieldtechnologies.com/”>gps kids watch tracking device, which connects to a satellite and then reports back to the website, will display the entire race course, calculate the position of all 300 individual yachts, and allow fans to cheer on their favorite yachts right until they cross the finish line

In one of the largest ever uses of live tracking devices for a yacht race, Australian satellite communications provider Pivotel is fitting every yacht in the with a cutting-edge TracerTrak gps kids watch transmitter. Pivotel Satellite recorded more than 15 million hits on the race tracking website last year, and that number is expected to be even higher this year.

With the race untelevised for a number of years now and the 60,000 fans who flock to the starting line on the shores of Moreton Bay each year unable to follow events once the yachts are out of sight, this further expansion of the use of satellite technology for the race is expected to be welcomed by all.

After rising steadily for weeks, gasoline prices have declined ever so slightly. Prices have held at a national average of $3.92 a gallon the past week, below 2011′s $3.99 high and July 2008′s record $4.11.

On Tuesday the current national average price for a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline is $3.93, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. This price is the same price as one week ago, 15 cents more expensive than one month ago, and 17 cents more expensive than one year ago.

In a welcome relief to drivers, after rising for all but four days in February and March — an increase of 38 cents during that period — gas prices have been down more days than they’ve been up in April — increasing less than half a cent on the month to date.

Although gas prices have been easing lately in some regions, the Energy Department has predicted that U.S. drivers will be paying an average of 24 cents a gallon more for gasoline during the peak summer driving season, defined as April through September.

Peak gas prices will average $3.95 for a gallon of regular gasoline, up 6.3 percent, or 24 cents, from last year’s April-September driving season, according to the EIA’s monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook. That represents an increase from last month’s peak-season prediction of a $3.295 average.

Managers look for ways to increase operating efficiencies and start paying attention to how their employees are driving.

Small changes can have a big impact on a large scale, and the cost savings can really start add up. Many are surprised to find out that a fleet tracking system can help them to see immediate results and cut costs across the board.

Reported by ABC Chicago Local News

Chicago police say gps kids watch technology foiled an armed robbery.

The man had no idea when he took the equipment that it had gps kids watch tracking capabilities that led police to his home. On Monday the police announced they had caught a man who stole $17,000 in merchandise from a Radio Shack by using gps kids watch tracking” href=”http://www.fieldtechnologies.com”>gps kids watch tracking equipment that was stolen from the store.

The suspect is charged with armed robbery and kidnapping.

Law enforcement says the suspect entered the Radio Shack store, tied up people and threatened them with a gun, stole some gear (that was equipped with gps kids watch tracking technology) and took off.

Police officers tracked down the suspect about two hours later. They found him by tracking stolen gps kids watch equipment that he had in his possession.

Last week a bank teller in Massachusetts used a high-tech gps kids watch tracking device to help police catch a bank robber.

On Friday morning a man wearing a face mask entered a bank  and demanded money from the tellers.

The teller slipped a small gps kids watch tracking device into a bag with about $2,500 and handed it to the robber.

After the robber left, the bank reported the robbery, giving a description of the robber and his getaway vehicle: a tan Chevy Impala. Then the bank activated the gps kids watch tracking” href=”http://www.fieldtechnologies.com”>gps kids watch tracking device hidden inside the bag of stolen cash.

Next thing you know, the chase was on.

The law enforcement officers started tracking the robber using the gps kids watch tracking device” href=”http://www.fieldtechnologies.com”>gps kids watch tracking device that had been slipped into the money bag.

The police officers were able to locate the robber’s getaway vehicle in the residential area that the gps kids watch tracking device pointed to. They found the man’s vehicle parked inside a garage. This allowed the police to arrest the man when he came out of the house.

As it turns out, this man had attempted to rob another bank that day as well. Just an hour earlier he had failed to get money when the tellers refused to hand over any cash. Although he had a gun, the tellers were protected behind bulletproof glass and were able to hide behind the counter until the robber gave up and left.

Thanks to the gps kids watch tracking device, or the ‘money tracker’ as the court documents refer to it, the bank recovered their money and the robber will be charged with a count of felony theft of property and two counts of aggravated robbery.

This could mean anywhere from 10-40 years in prison on either charge.

Without a gps kids watch tracking system, police can take days, weeks, and even months to recover stolen assets – if they can recover anything at all.

gps kids watch tracking devices allow an owner to track the location of their assets in real-time, and can locate a stolen vehicle or piece of equipment within minutes. Police can often recover the stolen items in less than 24 hours.

A gallon of regular unleaded gas on Saturday was $7.03, reported CBS LA News. Gas prices on Catalina Island have been averaging more than $7 a gallon for the past two weeks.

The average retail price for a gallon of unleaded regular gas in the U.S. on Monday is $3.92 according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. In California, gas prices are averaging $4.26 a gallon. Catalina Island residents and visitors are paying roughly $2 more for gas as compared to prices on the U.S. mainland.

The island is small, only about 22 miles long. Many residents walk and those who drive use golf carts to get around, many of which are electric. While some may be feeling the pinch, many aren’t complaining.

“It’s not uncommon to see unusually high gas prices in certain remote areas, but of course, $7 gas may be a new high point for almost anywhere in the U.S.,” Automobile Club of Southern California spokesperson Jeffrey Spring said. “It’s a reminder to all of us that this year has been very expensive at the pump for Southern Cal ifornia drivers.”

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested again Monday, just days after he posted bail on similar charges that he burglarized a home and stole prescription drugs, authorities said.

Leaf, a former standout quarterback for Washington State, was the No. 2 pick in the 1998 draft behind Peyton Manning.

According to gps kids watch-2nd-arrest”>ESPN News, Leaf was first arrested on Friday after police found oxycodone pills in his golf bag that an acquaintance later said Leaf stole from his home. Then early Monday, three days after posting a $76,000 bond, he was arrested again on accusations that he broke into another home outside Great Falls, Central Montana Drug Task Force commander Chris Hickman said.

The owners walked into the home Sunday afternoon to find a “tall man with an athletic build” inside, Hickman said. The man told the owners he had the wrong address and left.

The owners later discovered three bottles of prescription medication missing and phoned police. After describing his truck, his clothes and his “shiny black loafers,” they picked Leaf out of a photo lineup.

A search of Leaf’s home turned up 89 hydrocodone pills loose in the pocket of a bathrobe. Authorities do not believe those were the same pills that were taken from the burgled home, Hickman said.

“We don’t know if he disposed of them or if he has a hiding place where he stores these things,” Hickman said.

Leaf’s attorney, Ken Olson, did not respond to a call for comment. A call to Leaf’s publicist was not returned Monday.

Leaf tested positive for drugs at the time of his arrest Friday, according to a sworn statement filed by Hickman with Cascade County District Court. Leaf admitted he had taken about seven oxycodone pills in the past few weeks, including one the day before the arrest, the documents say.

Police obtained a warrant Monday and reviewed data from the gps kids watch system” href=”http://www.fieldtechnologies.com”>gps kids watch system in Leaf’s pickup truck, searching for information that would link Leaf to the burglaries.

“The navigational system shows that he was in that driveway yesterday afternoon during the time frame of the burglary,” Hickman said.

The gps kids watch system data also showed the truck drove up to between five and 10 other houses in the area, and authorities were checking with the residents there, he said.

More people have come forward with claims of stolen painkillers since Leaf’s arrest Friday, though the task force has not yet investigated those claims.

The task force plans to go back through the gps kids watch system’s data history to pinpoint the truck’s location during Thursday’s burglary and to see whether it contains information that would lead investigators to a stash of stolen painkillers.

Hickman and other members of the task force arrested Leaf at his home early Monday.

“When I advised him that he was going to be charged with another count of burglary for the events that occurred, he didn’t show any surprise — and he didn’t make any confessions or admissions,” Hickman said.

Leaf appeared by video from the Cascade County Detention Center in his initial court appearance in Great Falls on Monday afternoon on two felony counts of burglary, two felony counts of criminal possession of a dangerous drug, two misdemeanor counts of theft and a probation violation.

He will remain in jail until Wednesday while his probation supervisors decide whether to release him again on bond or revoke the suspended sentence he was given in Texas in 2010, the Great Falls Tribune reported.

The probation violation is related to a plea agreement Leaf made in Texas after being accused in 2009 of burglarizing a player’s home while he was a quarterbacks coach for Division II West Texas A&M. An investigation turned up that Leaf had obtained nearly 1,000 pain pills from area pharmacies in an eight-month span.

His plea agreement gave him 10 years of probation. Randall County District Attorney James Farren said he planned to file a motion Monday to revoke Leaf’s probation.

Farren said the Texas judge in that case could set a hearing date, extradite Leaf for the hearing and then return Leaf to Montana for the proceedings in that state.

“Our argument will be that he should go to prison,” Farren said.

Leaf arrest’s on Friday was the result of a month-long investigation that started with a tip that Leaf had been receiving small, rattling cash-on-delivery packages at the post office worth $500 or more once or twice a week.

A search of Leaf and his pickup truck turned up 28 oxycodone pills, a narcotic for which Leaf does not have a prescription, Hickman said. The label on an empty prescription bottle also found in Leaf’s golf bag was made out to an acquaintance, who told police that Leaf entered his house without permission on Thursday and stole the bottle, which contained about 15 pills.

Hickman said police don’t know where the other 13 pills came from.

“Leaf eventually admitted to stealing some Oxycodone pills from the associate whose name was on the empty prescription bottle,” Hickman wrote in his statement.

Hickman said authorities believe Leaf may have broken into other homes over the past 1½ years in search of prescription drugs and is asking those victims to come forward.

Leaf released a statement through his publicist after his first arrest on Friday that says he has “made some mistakes and have no excuses” but that he is “confident that there will be further understanding when the facts are revealed.”

Leaf, a former standout quarterback for Washington State, was the No. 2 pick in the 1998 draft behind Peyton Manning. But Leaf flamed out as quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, gaining a reputation as one of the biggest busts in NFL history

Last year, Leaf had surgery to remove a benign tumor from his brain stem and later underwent additional radiation treatments.

On March 21, Leaf told an Associated Press reporter in an email exchange that he had struggled through treatments and had an MRI scheduled for the end of the month, but “I’m doing/feeling much better and am excited for the rest of 2012.”

After the accident, Hirsch got out of his vehicle to see the damage, and to see who had hit him. Next thing he knew he was pushed down to the ground, then a second thief jumped into the van and drove away.

Roger, bruised, sore and a little taken back by it all watched his van disappear down the road. Still, despite his shock, Roger was quick witted enough to call his company – Delta Security – urging them to check the company’s vehicle tracking system.

Dave Mundy, the London firm’s operations manager, said: “I ran to my laptop, logged on to our Quartix tracking system and entered the registration number of Roger’s van. A few seconds later I could see a map with the van clearly marked and showing it was travelling along the North Circular from Walthamstow towards Edmonton.

“I dialled 999 on the landline and asked for the police.”

Dave explained the situation to them and said his vehicle tracking system had located the Ford Transit online and could explain exactly where it was.

Dave was asked to continue his live transmission of data to the police, telling them that the van had left the North Circular and entered High Road, Tottenham and the precise time it turned into a yard.

“The tracking system showed the van to be stationery with the ignition off. The time was 9.59pm. At 10.01 the first police car arrived on the scene with a second car arriving a minute later,” Dave said later.

The van was found locked, unoccupied and undamaged, although the hijackers – including, possibly, a third man who had earlier driven the thieves’ get-away car – appeared to have fled after hearing the police cars’ sirens.

Now, following forensic analysis, the van is back with Delta Security: and the only thing missing – Roger Hirsch’s personal phone.

Dave added: “If it hadn’t been for our tracking system and the quick actions of the police I’ve no doubt the story would have ended quite differently, with a stripped-out van being torched in an alley. As it is, after replacing the van’s locks Roger is providing a normal service. Quartix is a great tracking system and assists with efficiency, fuel consumption, congestion charges and vehicle recovery.”

Gasoline prices have risen substantially in recent weeks. The current national average price for a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline is $3.92.

This price is three cents more expensive than one week ago, 17 cents more expensive than one month ago, and 28 cents more expensive than one year ago.

Robert Crawley, owner of Robert’s Coffee and Vending Service in Longview, TX, told the Longview News Journal his firm operates a fleet of about 20 delivery trucks and service vehicles.

Crawley said, “compared to this time last year we’re spending about $500 more a week on gasoline. So far, we’ve absorbed the expense and haven’t had to pass it along to our customers.”

But, he said, if the price of fuel for his vehicles continues to rise and stays at inflated levels for an extended period of time he expects that extra expense to be added to the cost of goods and services for his customers. Crawley said he does expect to trim expenses by dropping some accounts that are not profitable or are only marginally profitable to service.

“We may drop some of our smaller accounts,” he said of actions planned soon to counter the rising fuel cost. “We can’t afford to pay drivers, keep the trucks on the road and pay for gas too for some of the smaller accounts — it’s just cost prohibitive.”

Fleet tracking system sales appear to be increasing this year, mostly due to this year’s recent surges in gas prices. When gas prices top $4 per gallon, companies start looking for ways to save money. Managers start paying attention to how their employees are driving, and for ways to increase operating efficiencies.

Small changes can have a big impact on a large scale, and the cost savings can really start add up. Many are surprised to find out that a fleet tracking system can help them to see immediate results and cut costs across the board. In today’s challenging economic climate, profit margins are slim and companies must implement as many cost-saving initiatives as possible.

In order to remain competitive, companies have to look very closely at every penny spent. Because a fleet tracking system can provide an ROI in less than six months and immediately reduce fuel consumption, plus produce ecological benefits, companies both large and small are utilizing them to create profitable, sustainable fleets.

Businesses are realizing they can no longer ignore the built in inefficiencies within their operations. “Wireless fleet management systems can put a spotlight on a driver’s habits that consume excessive fuel and emit unnecessary pollution. The most frequent of these activities include excessive speeding, idling and sudden acceleration and stops.

On Wednesday the current national average price for a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline is $3.92, reported the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. This price is three cents more expensive than one week ago, 17 cents more expensive than one month ago, and 28 cents more expensive than one year ago.

While the national average price continues to rise, the rate of increase has begun to slow.

So why are the gas prices so high? Industry experts cite Middle East tensions, pipeline disruptions, refinery problems, and now, the seasonal switch to the pricier summer blend.

“The main thing is the tension in Iran, where they are threatening to disrupt about 20 percent of the world’s oil supply,” said Cathy Hein, a spokeswoman for AAA Carolinas.  What’s built into the rising prices is a “future fear of what could happen,” she said.

The other major factor is the current switchover by refineries to the cleaner-burning summer blends of fuel.

“That disrupts supply a little bit, too,” Hein said.

Gas prices typically rise in the spring as refiners shut some operations and reduce supply in order to switch from producing winter grades to less-polluting summer blends.

But this year, the refining market in eastern North America is even tighter as several refineries have been closed amid competitive pressures.

Speculators are plowing money into gasoline futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange in anticipation of further closings, notably a large Sunoco refinery in Philadelphia. The company is looking for a buyer for the facility, which has been squeezed by high crude prices, slack demand in the eastern U.S., and growing competition from mega-refineries in India and China.

As a result, consumers are paying more for their fuel.

Benchmark U.S. crude fell $1.22 to close Tuesday at $104.01 a barrel in New York, and Brent crude was down 57 cents to finish at $124.86 a barrel in London.

A Fleet Tracking System Can Help You Reduce Your Monthly Fuel Costs

If your family or your business has been affected by this year’s rising gas prices, then you may want to consider purchasing a fleet tracking system. A fleet tracking system can provide an ROI in less than six months and immediately reduce fuel consumption up to 20%.

In today’s tough economic climate, profit margins are slim and companies must implement as many cost-saving initiatives as possible. In order to stay competitive, companies have to look very closely at every penny spent. Utilizing a gps kids watch fleet tracking system can be one of the most cost effective means to manage and reduce fuel consumption.
