Can you tell me how it was received and do you hear anything about where they’re at with the new uniforms?Yoann, Beine-Nauroy (France)Hey Yoann, thanks for writing in and getting us going this week. Back from the bye week and back into action.Astute point that the helmet seemed like more than just a one-time thing. A test is a good way to put it. I’m not an expert on this stuff, but the reaction I saw to the helmet was pretty solidly positive in nature. And that’s before you grade on the scale of how flat so many attempts at th...

In the past two decades, 90% of Californians upgraded their wired telephone services to cellular. The allure? Freedom from wires, seamless communication on-the-go, enhanced public safety features and sheer convenience. The future is, without a doubt, wireless.And yet, the California Public Utilities Commission seems to be hesitating and giving undue consideration to people opposed to technical progress.The first wired phones came to life in the late 1800s.

These copper wires, relics of another age, can hardly support basic dial-up modems, let alone the broadband services we’ve grown dependent upon.Despite this, owing to outdated regulatory agreements, telephone companies are obligated to pour billions of dollars in time and resources into this declining network. This, even when most areas have better alternatives available. It’s not just a waste — it’s counterproductive.While the CP...
