Humanitarian buying alarms for K-9 unit
By ERIN EINHORN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/local/3444100.htm>
In the wake of the tragic death last month of a police dog named
Woodrow, a local philanthropist plans to outfit the police department with heat
alarms for K-9 patrol cars.
Kal Rudman said he will buy about a dozen alarm systems, which cost
upward of $400 each, in hopes of preventing another tragedy like the one that
killed Woodrow.
<SNIP>
The new alarm systems, called Coolguard, will monitor the inside
temperature of K-9 patrol cars and will sound an alarm whenever the
temperature reaches 88 degrees.
At that point, unless someone triggers an override switch in the car,
the windows will automatically lower and a high-powered fan will start
cooling the air in the car, giving any canine passenger relief.
---------------------------
An Associated Press version of this story notes that both horn and
sirens sound when the car overheats in addition to all windows being lowered
and a powerful fan being activated. The system is also being bought in
other areas that use police dogs in order to simply prevent a K-9 death like
the one that occured in Philadelphia that ended a dogs life and a police
officers career.

This fun and educational word game can be played in three
different languages (English / Hebrew / Russian) without
special fonts or language support. The game has an easy mode
for beginners and a harder mode for the more advanced players.
The game has 50 topics with over 1,000 words in each language.
General topics include: animals, fruit, sports, astronomy, colors,
computers, human body, relatives, etc...
Jewish topics include: symbols, Shabbat, holidays, rabbis,
entertainers, famous people, yiddish, etc...

Each time you run the game the board is different. Words are
selected randomly from your topic. There is also a print option
to allow you to print out game sheets to play off-line.
Feedback about this new game has been very good.
In addition to the Multilingual Word Search Game, you
will find other games and useful programs on the J site.
The site is free and very easy to navigate.

Please forward this message to relatives and friends so they can
also enjoy the new game.
Have a good day,
Jacob Richman
