Would anyone be willing to help me out here?

My DH needs an article from Newsday.com that we are not able to get because we live in NJ and don't subscribe to Newsday or Optimum Online.

Maybe someone can just copy the text if you can open it and email it to me?

Here's a link to the article we are looking for:

HUNTINGTON

Long Island towns and businesses increasingly are looking

into global positioning systems to improve efficiency and better monitor their

workers.

Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Brookhaven and Smithtown are investigating the

technology, town and Sprint Nextel officials said at a GPS summit in Huntington

yesterday.

Town officials said their interest was piqued by a Newsday story on use of

the technology in Babylon, where efficiency has improved but workers have

objected to Big Brother tracking their every move.

"With what's going on in the town of Babylon, GPS has really become a

reality," said Barry Bree of Oyster Bay's Public Safety Department, which might

use GPS in public safety vehicles and town boats.

"We're not looking to hurt the employee; we're just looking to get the

employee to do one simple thing: do the job they're getting paid for," he said.

A crowd of more than 100 private and public officials from Long Island and

New York City heard keynote speaker and Babylon Supervisor Steve Bellone tout

GPS as an efficient management tool that quickened cleanup efforts during the

last two major snowstorms.

Sprint Nextel officials said more advanced forms of GPS allow workers to

take pictures and log specific details of work done at a site, such as filling

potholes, and transmit photos and information back to supervisors.

Babylon installed GPS in most of its 250-vehicle fleet in January and

sparked controversy earlier this month when Newsday revealed GPS devices had

detected loafing by two workers who later were disciplined by the town.

Since then, several local entities have asked the town about the

technology. Most recently, the Brookhaven Department of Parks inquired about

using GPS, while the Hauppauge School District and the Town of Smithtown are

considering using GPS for public safety vehicles.

Lt. Ed Truglio of the Nassau County Police said his department might use

GPS in its 400-vehicle fleet.

North Hempstead first installed GPS in a dozen street sweepers last year.

Supervisor Jon Kaiman said he is proceeding cautiously and plans to have

devices in an additional 10 to 20 salt spreaders, snowplows and new hybrid

electric buses by the end of the year.

"I don't know if we need to know where every truck in the fleet is any

given time," he said.

WOW! You're fast!

I think this is the only way to get the article because even if you tried to email it to me from the Newsday site, we probably still couldn't open it if we aren't subscribers.

Was that the whole article?

Thanks!
