“Imagine a NASCAR race in which there was no driver-crew communication and no spotters.  Then, add a massive field of 97 cars.

The resultant chaos must have prodded Al Stevens to come up with notion of communicating with this crew via radio and using spotters in a 1952 NASCAR race at Daytona’s 4.1 mile beach/road course.

Until then, there were no spotters and teams communicated with drivers by scribbling short messages on chalkboards and holding them out for the driver to see as he roared along the frontstretch.

Enter Stevens.  Aside from being a part-time racer, Steven owned a radio-dispatched wrecker service in Palm Beach, FL.  Studying the Motorola field radios he used for his business, he decided to install one in his race car, put one in the pits with his crew and gave two more to spotters on the north and south turns.

Steven didn’t win the race, but with the help of the radios-one of which is on display in the NASCAR Hall of Fame - he avoided a lot of trouble.

Today, no team would dream of taking the track without radios and spotters, yet Steven’s idea didn’t catch on until the 1960s.”

More than 100 employees and customers at a home improvement store, crammed shoulder-to-shoulder seeking safety from one of the deadly storms that ripped through the South, screamed in near unison once the steel roof curled off overhead, the store's manager said Sunday.

They all made it out alive Saturday, thanks to quick action by store manager and his employees, who carried out an emergency response plan they had learned. They herded everyone to the windowless rear area of the store, away from the direct hit out front.

"You could hear all the steel ripping. People screaming in fear for their lives," the manager told The Associated Press.

The manager and his employees deserve credit for moving customers to a safe zone in the store about 40 miles south of Raleigh, said Sanford police captain.

"It can't help but have saved lives," he said. Since most of the damage was in the front, getting them farther away likely prevented some people from harm.

Deputies arrived as the man was leaving. They tazed him after he refused to cooperate. He proceeded to throw a knife at a deputy, hitting him in the leg. The deputies shot him in the leg, arm and abdomen.  Thankfully, both the deputy and the man were not fatally injured.

The good news: although the store was full at the time, no employees, customers or property suffered injury or damage throughout the violent display. One deputy suffered a laceration that required 30 or more stitches.  Wal-mart’s employees used two-way radios to communicate quickly internally and with authorities. The police and the fire department arrived in less than ten minutes, and the violent event was minimized and brought to a halt.

On Jan. 4, Motorola officially split into two separate companies: Motorola Mobility (MMI) and Motorola Solutions (MMS). The split seemed to immediately prove positive among investors during the first day of trading with immediate boosts of 6.3% for the phone shop and 7% for the enterprises and networks division.

The split was an effort to simplify markets for investors: Motorola Mobility is now targeted to consumers and Motorola Solutions is focused on professionals.  Motorola’s broad portfolio of cell phones, police radios and barcode scanners became particularly complicated over the years with the rise and falls between the different segments. The new, separate divisions of Motorola are now in a position to concentrate efforts and stay ahead of technological improvements within each industry.

In the last few years, the cell phone side of Motorola struggled to stay ahead. Motorola saw declines in profitability after the outstanding success of the Razr phone. The professional business however, continued to soar as they provided products to government agencies and businesses using two-way radios. Although the cell phone industry has seen recent growth, the separate divisions of Motorola should see greater progress as they are more specialized.

Students in the neighboring classroom did not consider the noise to be gunshots. The situation was actually not discovered until the father of a girl in the classroom came by the school after being unable to get in touch with his daughter. When the principal went to the classroom to find the student, he was confronted and threatened by the gunman. Afterward, the principal called the police. When the police finally came, the gunman shot and killed himself.

The students were at the mercy of the shooter for six hours. The shooter could have easily injured or killed any one of the students, the teacher, or the professor. Although the student reportedly did not want to hurt anyone but himself, you cannot give him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he has 200 rounds of ammunition in his pockets. If the principal or the teacher had 2-way radios on them at all times, they could have immediately reported the situation to the police.

This situation is a perfect case for emergency preparedness. There were no signs or hints of motives in this case that would tip off a need for increased security, but having 2-way radios in place would have certainly alleviated the danger. Teachers and students claim the gunman was a great student with loving friends and family. It is possible that no one may ever know why he snapped. Schools should not hesitate to increase and update their means of communication on behalf of their students’ lives.

The great thing about 2-way radios is their value in comparison with the price tag. There are a number of cost effective solutions available to minimize risk and reduce response times.  This school and all other schools should deploy 2-way radios to minimize the impact of school violence; 2-way radios have the potential to save lives in emergencies and are a vital tool to educators everywhere.  Visit our website, www.2wayradiodirect.com to learn more about 2-way radios and how we can help your school improve safety and productivity.
