Just a quick plug for the Iron Warriors MC Nation from the crew at CopTalk.info – Check out a local chapter and ride!

————————————————————————-

Welcome to Iron Warriors MC Nation, the national website of the Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club, representing approximately 600 members across the United States; 35 chapters in 17 States.

The Iron Warriors Motorcycle Club is a non-profit organization of current and retired law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other members of public safety. The Iron Warriors own and ride V-twin motorcycles made by American-owned companies.  The camaraderie of riding with like-minded individuals strengthens the dedication in providing assistance and support to our communities, departments, families and members. The IWMC membership contributes much of its free time toward the efforts of raising money to support the families of Fallen Police Officers and/or Firefighters. The IWMC additionally supports our Veterans of the military, as they have sacrificed much, and some sacrificed all.
The IWMC generosity is not limited to Law Enforcement, Firefighters or Veterans. Individual chapters will routinely seek out those struggles within their community, to show support and express their gratitude for the support given to them by our communities.  Support your local IWMC next time you see them hosting an event!

Richmond, CA – Preschool Outfits Students With Tracking Devices

2010-08-19_083351 Original Story from ktvu.com

RICHMOND, Calif. — The Contra Costa County School District began introducing a new high tech tracking system for preschool students Tuesday that alert teachers when their students leave campus.

Embedded in what looks like a tiny basketball jersey that each student will wear when at school is a radio frequency tag that also uses Wi-Fi. The tag provides a signal to sensors planted throughout the school.

The information from those sensors is displayed in a map of the school, thereby allowing teachers and administrators to know exactly

Parents will digitally sign in and sign out a child, saving teachers from hand filing attendance records required by the state.

“Now, when we feed the children lunch we just have to push a button and it’s done,” said teacher Simone Beauford. “We don’t have to check the papers, check the papers, check the papers…”

Sung Kim of the county’s employment and human services department said 3,000 man hours could eventually be saved with this $50,000 system, which was paid for by a federal grant.

“Within a year we could completely pay off this system from the savings we have with the staffing,” said Kim. “We are the first child care center that is implementing with this technology, but it is already proven technology.”
