| All at sea? Ocean can find you
It is a challenge that West Australian wireless ISP Ocean Broadband has embraced, and it is tackling the problem with the help of software from two companies that sit at the heart of the Web 2.0 revolution. Ocean has paired up its Salesforce.com platform with the mapping applications of search behemoth Google in a so-called mash-up that information systems head David Wilson says is delivering big benefits for customer service and logistics. The mash-up adds Google Earth images to Ocean's customer files to give technical support staff at the small business instant access to detailed information about where their clients live. The use of Google Earth satellite photography is also proving worthwhile in diagnosing some technical problems, such as trees growing to interfere with line-of-sight reception from wireless towers.

Heaviest man lived with plenty of heart
Nor did he ever get to ride a bicycle. Such activities were just too tiring. --- But Robert Earl was not slothful. He gladly would help on the family farm, feeding chickens, gathering eggs and performing other jobs that could be done at a slow pace. Despite such limitations, Robert Earl never showed any self-pity. All accounts peg him as a gregarious, smiling youngster - "a very jolly fellow," as Harry Manley puts it. Those close to Robert Earl say he did not eat like a pig. They say he had a hearty appetite, perhaps enough to pack extra pounds onto any person. But they say his meals were not so big - some say he rarely had seconds - as to account for his enormous size. Still, by age 13 he had reached an astounding 546 pounds. At school, he sat on a special bench braced with two-by-fours and wire.

Open Letter To George W. Bush
Perhaps you are not worried about this lonely epidemic of death, disease and injury day after day, since it is not caused by terrorists. Even if every three weeks, workplace conditions lead to a fatality toll greater than 9/11. Imagine, every three weeks, on average. Remember Mr. Bush, you said "all human life is precious and deserves to be protected." This is especially so when the perils are so preventable by timely regulatory inspections and enforcement of up-to-date life-saving standards. It comes back, in the final analysis, to that oath of office you took, doesn't it, to enforce the laws under our Constitution whose preamble starts with "We the People." Not "We the Corporations." Ralph Nader is a consumer advocate, lawyer, and author. His most recent book is The Seventeen Traditions.
