Review: Sidekick LX 2009

Sharp brings a wealth of improvements to the latest Sidekick in the LX 2009. Messaging and the display dazzle, but some features fizzle.
AD article continues below...
Is It Your Type?
For the Sidekick crowd, this probably isn't a question you need to answer. The real question is more apt to be, is the LX worth upgrading to from your current Sidekick. Beyond the Sidekick faithful, the new LX offers some features that previous Sidekicks didn't that are likely to attract new users. Could you become a Sidekick convert? Let's find out.
I've never been a fan of the Sidekick line's ginormous size. None of them has been dainty, and the new LX is no exception. It's a big phone. It brings back memories of the HP calculators I carried to physics class in high school, and that's just not cool. It's also heavy. Yes, you can put it in your jeans pocket, but only if the pocket is large. Size and weight aside, the LX is a definite improvement over previous generations of Sidekick hardware. It is slightly thinner than its most recent predecessor, but that's not saying overmuch. Fit and finish are much better, and the overall quality of the device feels like it has been upped several notches. The soft-touch paint job on the back feels comfortable and the phone is tight all around.
There are so many buttons on the LX that novices might not know where to start. To the Sidekick faithful, they are mostly the same. Holding the phone horizontally, you have two on the left side of the screen for the main menu and options. Between them is a D-pad (with earpiece speaker built-in). The D-pad has four high ridges that make it easy to find with your left thumb. To the right of the screen you have the X key, end key, trackball, send key and OK key.
All of the buttons have the exact same amount of travel and feedback and since each has its own patterned texture, they are easy to find. I found the trackball to be very responsive without having to make any adjustments to it.
The swivel action of the screen was the stickiest of any Sidekick I've used. I am not sure if this is because my review unit has been fully broken in yet, or not. I really had to press hard on the bottom of the screen to get it to pop open. Even then, it stopped about 90% of the way open, and I had to adjust it the last 10%.
The QWERTY keyboard is OK, but not fantastic. Because the LX is so wide and has the two rounded humps at the ends of the phone, I really felt like I was reaching more than I should have to get at the keyboard. On top of that, the keys are spread very far apart. This makes them easy to find, but you really have to reach around to get at them. I feel that with the LX your thumbs are going to get a much more serious workout than on many other QWERTY devices. Lastly, the buttons have minimal travel and feedback. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to hate on it. It works just fine. I just prefer different style QWERTY keyboards.
On the bottom of the LX (when held horizontally), there are several buttons and ports. To the far left is a nice 3.5mm headset jack that fits most stereo headphones. Then there are two separate buttons to control the volume. These two are a little bit hard to find, as they are built quite flush to the surface. They also have little travel and feedback. Towards the right side is the power button. This one was easier to find and had better travel and feedback. Last is the miniUSB port for charging and data transfer.
On the top side of the LX are two more buttons. The one to the left is a shortcut to the messaging department, and the second is a two-stage camera key. Both have good travel and feedback.
If you want to swap out the microSD card, you have to remove the back panel of the phone. Thankfully, the card is accessible without removing the battery.
The Three S's
The LX's display is one of the best I've seen. It measures 854 x 480 pixels, which Sharp terms FWVGA (Full-Wide VGA). Numbers and acronyms aside, it's friggin' gorgeous. Text and icons practically jump off of the display. The display is super sharp, crisp, and colors and details are amazing. Simply put, the display alone is worth the cost to upgrade. Want to read it outside in full sunlight? No worries!
The Sidekick LX can grab GSM/EDGE and T-Mobile 3G signals. Now that T-Mobile's 3G network is up and running in the U.S., the company has done a good job of blanketing the NYC metro region with it. That said, the LX had 3G signal pretty much everywhere I took it. It never lost T-Mobile's signal entirely and only once did it lose 3G in favor of EDGE. It also survived the NJ vault test (the local Shop Rite, a known cell signal killer). No matter where I carried the LX, it had signal. More importantly, it was always able to make/send calls, send/receive messages, and connect to the mobile web. I didn't miss any calls at any point with the LX.
Call quality was the first disappointment I experienced with the LX. There was a constant hiss, whether listening via the earpiece, speakerphone, or Bluetooth headsets. Despite the hiss, I had no trouble understanding those I spoke to on the phone, and vice versa. The earpiece and speakerphone can be made loud enough that you needn't fear missing calls or not being able to hear people. The volume was definitely there. Ringers and notifications can definitely be amped up.
I can't complain about the LX's battery life. I had no trouble keeping it alive for three days at a time with regular use. Increase your text volume, Facebook syncing and web browsing, and you'll probably see that dip to two days. The fastest I was able to drain the battery was in just under two days (44 hours), and that was with some serious call usage. The real killer is Twitter. If you set your the LX to check your Twitter account too often, you'll see some serious battery drainage.
The Sidekick LX 2009 keeps the familiar semi-circular carousel from Sidekicks past. Use the scroll wheel to sift through them one at a time, or the D-pad on the left to jump five selections at once. What I find is weird is that the circle doesn't keep going around. It stops at the top and bottom, rather than just recirculating the choices. This seems a silly limitation to me.
With each selection, swiping the trackball to the right often shows you several different actions you can take for the given menu selection. For example, if you track right with the messaging app highlighted, you'll be able to open either the text messaging or picture messaging apps.
The trackball and basic navigation are easy to master. Figuring out how the Menu key (upper left corner of the phone), Back key and X keys do will take some practice. The Menu key is the real powerhouse button on the LX, and is your gateway to all the extended options for each application or service on the phone.
What's absolutely ridiculous about the Sidekick is all the noises. Every time you do something in the menus, it feels like you are unsheathing a sword, re-sheathing it, or walking around in a suit of armor with all the clanks, clinks and clunks. Of course, that can all be silenced, but still.
What really bugs me is that the LX completely fails the one-handed test. Because so many of the features and functions require you to press buttons on both the left and right sides of the screen, there's no such thing as quickly performing actions one-handed.
I hate holding phones sideways to make calls. It conflicts with the traditional notion of what I consider a phone to be. Because the LX offers no option (at least that I could find) of displaying information on the screen in portrait orientation, you have to hold it sideways to make calls (and do everything else, for that matter).
That gripe aside, you can access recent calls (and your contacts) without the need to open the phone. That saves a lot of time. Scrolling around, it is easy to find what you're looking for. Using the Menu button lets you do pretty much whatever you want with a phone call log or contact once you've selected it. You can't perform detailed searches (aka, type in a query) with the phone closed, though. For that, you have to open it up. You can, however, subject yourself to the punishment that is dialing via the trackball. I'd suggest avoiding it. It sucks.
Sound can easily be transferred to the earpiece, speaker, or Bluetooth if you so choose. The Sidekick makes most essential calling features easy enough for anyone to figure out.
The contacts application is fairly robust. Each contact entry is loaded with options to customize how they appear. You can add phone numbers, email, IM, web sites, street addresses, notes, job title, company, birthday and anniversary. Each of these can be customized further with ringtones, alerts, and labels.
You can import contacts already stored on your SIM, or add them piecemeal if you wish. Of course, the LX comes with T-Mobile's MyFaves calling plan, which makes managing at least five of your contacts that much easier. There is a specific button on the lower left corner of the LX's face that can be set to automatically take users to the phone application or the MyFaves list. Your choice.
Messaging is where the Sidekick LX 2009 really excels. Nearly every mode of text-based communication is represented: SMS, MMS, IM, email, social networking and so on. No matter which angle you like, the Sidekick provides it.
SMS and MMS are found in the same folder, where you can check the number of unread messages before entering either inbox. The SMS/MMS features are good enough, though I was surprised to discover that the LX doesn't support threaded messaging. That seems like it should be a no brainer at this point for the Sidekick line. I also don't really understand why SMS and MMS messages are placed in separate inboxes. I'd prefer to see all short messages lumped into one inbox. I like how easy it is to insert emoticons or text templates.
As for email, scrolling past the email icon on the LX's home screen gives you a view of up to 8 unread messages. You can see the total number of unread messages and then the sender and subject line of the emails. In order to read any of them, you need to open the email app. The LX supports the usual gang of POP3 clients, including Gmail, Yahoo, Windows and AIM. You can also use Exchange-based email if you wish. Creating and signing into new accounts is a breeze, though it is limited to a total of four email accounts.
The LX is a powerful IM device. You can log into multiple IM accounts (AIM, Windows or Yahoo) simultaneously, and send messages from all three. The IM service also supports the ability to send pictures.
Last up in the messaging department is social networking. The LX has MySpace, Facebook and Twitter clients on board. As with other mobile versions of these tools, they provide limited access to the popular sites, but enough that you can accomplish the basics. Sending messages and updating your status is easily done. One thing I noticed: the Twitter client appears to be a resource hog. It was very slow, laggy and unresponsive, even with full 3G signal. I do like how the most recent Twitter feed updates will appear in the social networking folder of the LX without forcing the user to actually open the Twitter app.
The music player didn't impress me. It offers no more features or functionality than any other mid-range device, and even lacks some. Loading music is a snap, as is sorting through playlists and your library. Music that is dragged-and-dropped onto the memory card from a PC automatically shows up in the music player without any need to refresh it.
The media player can fill the entire screen complete with artwork (which looks great on the high-rez display), or be set to mini-player mode. Music can be shuffled or looped through the LX's controls in several different places, including via the menu button or the on-screen buttons. Incoming calls pause the music, which resumes after the call is ended. You can also multitask, meaning you can use the phone's other features while listening to music.
I was disappointed to find literally no options for controlling the sound. That means no EQs of any sort, no sound enhancements, no special features of any kind. Music can be listened via the speaker, regular stereo headphones, or stereo Bluetooth headphones. I found sound quality through the speaker to be acceptable for short periods of time, but it didn't light my fire. Regular, wired headphones are always the best option. The stereo Bluetooth headsets I have reacted well to the music player and generally sounded good..
In the end, the music player performs the basics, but doesn't push any boundaries. (Also, the inability to use the music player one-handed makes it pretty frustrating.)
The camera is easily found in the LX's menu system, but it's faster to just press the camera button on the side of the phone. It takes about 2 seconds to launch. I like the way most of the controls are laid out. They are easy to reach without too much digging through the menus.
Similar to many touch phones, the viewfinder of the LX's camera is flanked by most of your basic settings. Use the trackball to zoom around and make the selections/adjustments that you want. Most of the features are simple and easy to grasp at a glance. The options aren't extensive, but they will be enough to satisfy most people.
One adjustment that I really liked was the ability to set the LX to macro mode, which means it can take pictures of things really close up. I was able to get the LX to focus on subjects mere inches from the lens.
The LX takes about a second to focus and shoot most images, and another second to process and save them before returning to the capture screen. In all, the experience of using the camera is pretty good.
As for video, the controls for the LX's video camera are very basic. You can change the resolution to high for unlimited recording, or low for limited, MMS-optimized videos. That's about it. Otherwise, just point and record.
The LX makes sharing photos a breeze. There's a dedicated "send last captured" button built into the camera's home screen. Press it, and you can choose to send it via email, Facebook, audio postcard, MMS or Bluetooth. Not bad.
There's another button to take you the main gallery. Images are viewed in grid fashion, with up to six visible at any one time. Use the trackball to highlight an image, and pressing the menu key lets you send it, delete it, file it move it, whatever you want without opening the image file itself.
With an image open, you can use the trackball to scroll sideways through your library, which is appreciated. There's a little progress bar at the bottom of each image to give you an idea of where you are in a given library.
The Sidekick LX 2009 boasts the best camera of any Sidekick to date, at least, in theory. It has 3.2 megapixels, autofocus and a flash, so it should kick butt, right? Well...
Pictures I took outdoors looked good, for the most part. Sharpness and color were spot on, but sometimes details got a bit washed out (see the flowers). The camera handled white balance well enough (see fence shots) and drastic sunlight differences as well as any cameraphone.
Where the camera fails is indoors. The shots I took of the guitar, for example, are plain awful. Noisy, soft, and colors are completely inaccurate. Add the flash, and it only got worse. Indoor shots where ambient light is plentiful (see the keyboard) looked better. If you think you're going to get great shots of your friends in darkened bars or other environments, think again.
Video captured with the LX isn't bad. Outdoor video worked out best, with good colors and only a minimal amount of graininess and noise. Video captured indoors degrades quickly, and lots of noise and grain are introduced.
MPEG-4 format (viewable with QuickTime)
File size: 596 KB
The browser on the LX gets the job done in beautiful fashion, thanks to the ridiculously awesome display. Web sites simply look divine. Paired with T-Mobile's 3G network, browsing was speedy enough. I was able to get Google to load in about 3 seconds, but PhoneScoop.com took closer to 15 seconds.
Depending on the web site, the single-column view that the LX defaults to could make navigation painful. Thankfully, the LX's browser has a mini map that lets you jump to other sections of a web site more quickly that scrolling would.
Some minor settings (default search engine, Java on/off, etc.) can be controlled, and adding and jumping to your bookmarks is all self explanatory. I found zooming in and out to be a bit more difficult than on other devices. It just took too long to dig down in the menus and find the zoom controls. Many other phones have zooming as a top-level feature.
As far as browsers go, it certainly provides for a richer experience than that of most feature phones. You're getting a near-desktop experience at 3G speeds.
The LX can be customized as much as any other phone. Sounds can be added to just about everything, as well as turned off. I like that you can customize the sensitivity of the vertical and horizontal directions of the trackball separately. You can set any number of keyboard shortcuts for nearly all of the applications on the LX. You can also set the autotext functions and spelling to make sure it recognizes words you type, as well as control the size of the menu and dialing fonts.
As with former Sidekicks, the LX has access to the Sidekick download catalog. This is a store customized expressly for Sidekicks, and features several dozen applications ranging from $3 to $6. They include entertainment, messaging and productivity apps.
The Sidekick LX 2009 supports both mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets. Pairing was a cinch. Sound quality was so-so at best for mono headsets used for phone calls. Using stereo Bluetooth headphones for music showed an improvement when compared to the mono headsets, but it certainly didn't equal standard, wired headphones. The LX also supports a number of other Bluetooth profiles. I was able to pair the LX with several different PCs and phones no problem.
The default "keyguard" screen does not show the time in an easily readable way. A clock is there, buried in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. I could not find a way to alter this so that the clock would appear nice and large on the screen.
Wrap Up
The Sidekick LX 2009's core competency is messaging. In this regard, it is a success. By bringing Facebook, MySpace and Twitter integration to the fold, all your messaging needs are met. SMS/MMS features are good, but not fantastic. The IM features are exceptionally robust. Unless you're used to business-supported Exchange email, the POP3 capabilities of the LX will be good enough for casual email.
The hardware upgrades, namely the display, 3G radio and higher-megapixel camera, are good improvements, though they don't all match the capabilities of some of the competition. The camera had below average low-light performance. The browser looked great, but wasn't as fast as it could be. The display is simply awesome.
My guess is, for the fervent Sidekick fans out there, none of these quibbles will matter much. It's a definite improvement over previous generations of Sidekick devices. For new users, however, I'd suggest you at least test other phones before choosing the Sidekick LX 2009.

Android Messages with RCS to Reach More Phones On More Carriers
Feb 23, 2018
Google says its Android Messages app is on the upswing thanks to new RCS-based tools and growing support from phone makers and wireless network operators. To start, brands now have more power to interact with consumers thanks to RCS business messaging.
the predecessor
the Sidekick ID was the simplified version of the Sidekick 3. There has been three other Sidekicks launched since then, being the Sidekick Slide, Sidekick LX 2007, and the Sidekick 2008.
The predecessor would then be the Sidekick Lx 2007 being in the same Sidekick line, not the Sidekick ID.

Toyota - Street Affair Concept
Toyota will display its largest ever range of all-new vehicles and concept cars at the 2002 Sydney Motor Show from October 17-27.
Key models in the much-heralded new four-cylinder and V6 Camry range - Sportivo, Azura, Altise and Ateva - spearhead Toyota's new model line-up.
Toyota will also showcase its 2003 model LandCruiser 100 series, which it will launch a week before the show.
Six as yet unseen concept and show cars will also make their Australian debut at the Sydney Motor Show.
A Formula One-inspired Toyota MR2 Street Affair concept car will spearhead the Toyota concept car display.
The striking turbocharged MR2 from Toyota Motorsport in Germany was designed by the same team engineering Toyota's historic assault on the Formula One world championship.
The MR2's body is constructed from fibre-glass and carbon-fibre panels with multiple air scoops.
Its doors hinge skywards to provide access to the snug two-seater interior.
The Street Affair produces 193kW and covers 0-100km/h in six seconds.
Toyota will also unveil its spectacular RSC (Rugged Sports Coupe) 4x4 concept vehicle at the Sydney Motor Show.
The RSC combines a sporty two-plus-two car body with four-wheel drive hardware and styling cues that result in a fresh variation on rugged-vehicle thinking.

Chargers Will Honor Lincoln
Oct. 24, 2000
Lewiston Tribune
PULLMAN -- Keith Lincoln, who made his college and pro football marks with Washington State University and San Diego, has been named to the all-time Chargers team.
The 61-year-old Lincoln, who resides in Pullman, will be honored as part of the selected team on Nov. 12 when the Chargers play host to the Miami Dolphins.
'It was a pleasant surprise, and I'm thrilled with it,' said Lincoln, who played halfback for the Chargers from 1961-66 and the latter part of the 1968 season. He spent the 1967 season and the first part of the '68 campaign with the Buffalo Bills before closing out his pro career back in San Diego.
'It's really nice to be remembered this way,' Lincoln said.
While Lincoln enjoyed banner days running the football for six-plus seasons, three of his most productive days came in an American Football League title game, a regular-season AFL game and an AFL All-Star Game.
On Jan. 5, 1964 at San Diego's Balboa Stadium in the AFL title game, Lincoln put on what the Patriots' press guide described as 'a super human effort' in the Chargers' 51-10 romp over the Boston Patriots, now known as the New England Patriots.
Lincoln, who rushed for 206 yards that day, also caught several passes to finish with a total of 329 yards to help provide San Diego with its first and only AFL championship.
'That was a lot of fun,' recalled Lincoln, whose 206 rushing total is second only to the L.A. Rams' Eric Dickerson, the latter rushing for 248 yards in the 1985 playoffs. His 15.8-yards per rushing attempt is also an all-time second-best, behind only the Chicago Cardinals' Elmer Angsman, who had a 15.9 average in a 1947 playoff game.
In a regular-season AFL 33-24 win at Oakland in 1962, Lincoln averaged 13.8 yards per carry, while in the 1965 AFL All-Star Game in Houston, he rambled 80 yards for a touchdown and also caught a 73-yard TD pass in the West's 38-14 victory over the East.
'It was the competition I enjoyed the most,' Lincoln said in looking back on his career. 'And I'm thrilled to death to be going back and to rub elbows with former teammates.'
Lincoln played football at WSU from 1958-60 and reeled off two 100-yard-plus rushing performances against Houston (153 yards) in 1959 and against California (128) in 1960.
When the state of Washington established its Sports Hall of Fame in 1960, Lincoln was eventually inducted, and he was also inducted into the WSU Hall of Fame in 1979.
Lincoln's roommate during his Charger career was outstanding receiver Lance Alworth, who also made the all-time San Diego team.
Lincoln was so impressed with Alworth on and off the field that he named his second son Lance. His older son is named Kip.
When Lincoln heads for San Diego next month, he will be joined by his wife Bonnie Jo and perhaps both sons for what is expected to become a memorable weekend of activities.
Lincoln says things start rolling Friday, two days before the Charger-Dolphin game, which will be played at Qualcomm Stadium.
'There's an alumni golf tournament and barbeque at Charger Park on Friday,' Lincoln said. 'Then on Saturday, there's a 40th anniversary all-time dinner.'
On Sunday during halftime, the Chargers' organization, which was born in 1960, will officially introduce the all-time San Diego team.
And what a team it will be.
On offense, Lincoln will be joined by Paul Lowe and Chuck Muncie at running backs, Dan Fouts at quarterback, Kellen Winslow at tight end, Doug Wilkerson and Ed White at guards, Ron Mix and Russ Washington at tackles, Don Macek at center and Wes Chandler, Charlie Joiner and Alworth at wide receivers.
On defense, Speedy Duncan and Gill Bryd are at cornerbacks, Charlie McNeil, Rodney Harrison, Woodrow Lowe, Billy Ray Smith and Junior Seau are at linebackers, Louie Kelcher and Gary Johnson are at tackles, Fred Dean and Leslie O'Neal are at ends, John Carney at place-kicker, Darren Bennett at punter and Lionel (Little Train) James at punt returner.
The all-time Charger head coach is Don Coryell with special recognition going to Sid Gillman, while special teams coach is Hank Bauer.
'They talk about other coaches coming up with the West Coast offense, but I think it was Gillman who started it,' Lincoln said. 'I believe that with my whole heart. I know because I played for him.'
Lincoln is eagerly looking forward to being reunited with Fouts as well as Duncan, Mix, Lowe and Alworth.
'He's pretty excited about being on this dream team,' said his son Lance.

It`s not that the fashionable are unpatriotic. Not at all. It`s just that patriotism doesn`t have the immediate POW of, say, diamonds, and unless your name is Reagan, it has never helped one iota in getting a good table at Le Cirque or Mortimer`s.
The rich have always been more inclined than the not-rich to admire and take up foreign bibelots, scents, sewing and titles.
Until recently, the rich did their thing and the others did their thing and both things were going along quite nicely. Social moths flit annually to villas, chateaus and suites in France, Monaco, Italy and Sardinia. And then the president, that very same Ronald Reagan who can get a table at Le Cirque any day, decided to bomb Libya.
That air strike sent the plans of many regular commuters to Europe into turmoil. Now there was not only terrorism to consider but, for goodness sake, patriotism. Should these affluent and peripatetic citizens scatter their largesse in countries that failed to support America? Or should they not? Some didn`t care, and still don`t. Others discovered, occasionally to their surprise, that like millions of the more average, they were annoyed, angry, furious, at the European reaction -- that of France particularly -- with Great Britain excepted. Added to all this was the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and ensuing reports of varying degrees of radiation fallout thousands of miles distant.
The result is that, as of now, even the people with houses over there are rethinking their usual European plans, perhaps half because they believe they should and the other half because the first half is doing so.
``I used to use our house in France as a base and travel around from there,`` said one jet socialite. ``I`ll probably go over this year, but I`ll stay put in the house. I certainly won`t go to Greece, as I did last year.``

Sienna Miller to Play Tippi Hedren in Hitchcock Exposé
It's a film about the director's destructive obsession with Hedren.
Hollywood has been flirting with a remake of The Birds for a few years now, but a just-announced movie will take us behind the scenes of that Alfred Hitchcock classic in a most intriguing way. The BBC has cast Sienna Miller and Toby Jones in The Girl, which explores Hitchcock's discovery of actress Tippi Hedren and his unsparing drive to mold her into the ultimate version of the chilly Hitchcock blonde. (Perhaps Vertigo is more prescient than you realized!) Hedren is cooperating with the project, which will also address her claims that after she resisted Hitchcock's sexual advances, he thwarted her career and sat on his exclusive contract, refusing to allow her work on other movies. Cold, Hitch.

Needs-based financial aid for higher education in Alabama is available from both state and federal sources. In
Alabama, the state level needs-based student financial aid program is called the Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP). ASAP is
funded by both the state and the federal Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) Program formerly known as the State
Student Incentive Grant (SSIG) Program, which provides funds to the State to help assist those students who demonstrate substantial
financial need. ASAP is the State's only need-based student aid program for residents attending postsecondary education institutions
in Alabama.
Another source of federal student aid is the Pell Grant program. Pell Grants are awarded usually only to undergraduate students
who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree. (In some cases, however, a student enrolled in a post-baccalaureate
teacher certification program might be eligible to receive a Pell Grant.) Pell Grants are considered a foundation of federal
financial aid, to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources might be added. The maximum can change each award year and depends
on program funding. The amount received depends not only on an individual's financial need, but also on the cost to attend school, a
student's status as a full-time or part-time student, and whether they are attending school for a full academic year or less.
A comparison of the total amount of Pell Grants awarded to students at institutions of higher education compared to the number
of students receiving financial aid through the Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP) can be found in the following table.
The amount of needs-based financial aid awarded to students through the Alabama Student Assistance Program (ASAP)
disaggregated by institution and by the number of students receiving ASAP funds can be found on the following tables.
A comparison of state needs-based financial aid provided in Alabama with regional and national financial aid
data for FY 2009-2010 is available at the following website. See Table 21 for the Distribution of Federal
Grant Recipients by State and Control of Institutions. Note: Alabama numbers include out-of-state students who attend Alabama institutions.

The Wilson Pro Signal Meter is a quad-band signal meter. It works with the 800 MHz (Cellular), 1900 MHz (PCS), 2100 MHz (AWS) and 700 MHz LTE (bands 12 and 13) frequency bands. This means that it accurately measures wireless signal for Voice/3G/4G/LTE for all carriers in North America (including Canada and Mexico).
The Pro Signal Meter is the perfect tool to help you simplify and optimize a Wilson
signal booster installation or tune a directional antenna.
How It Works
The Pro Signal Meter's ergonomic design allows easy hand-held operation. The LCD screen displays frequency of a detected signal, the range of pass bandwidth in megahertz (MHz) and the signal strength in decibels (dB). Button controls located just under the screen allow the user to move between frequency bands and channels.

Instrument Calibration Services: increased precision and reliability
Calibration involves comparing the reading of an instrument being calibrated with that of a reference instrument, under specific conditions. Other important aspects of calibration include documenting the deviation recorded, calculating the resulting measurement uncertainty and creating the calibration certificate recording this uncertainty.
The calibration of measuring instruments is therefore an essential part of quality assurance, contributing to the prevention of rejects, reworking, or claims for compensation. Your local authorized Testo partner will be happy to advise you on the various calibration services available for Testo measuring instruments.
You can also contact us Testo SMI (Singapore Malaysia Indonesia) regional office to assist you on instrument calibration services such as scale calibration, test equipment calibration and test meter calibration.

It is hard for a technology disturbed one like me to keep a blog. I recieved a comment but I couldn't manage to publish it (I hope to learn in time:)
A lady from Australia reading the acid attacks to young women writes;
"I am shocked that young men could feel that they had a right to harm girls because of the length of their skirts. Usually young men have other things to do rather than be vigilantes for such a cause. Is there large unemployment in this area? I realise there must be a growth in religious fundamentalism - and suppose there is also some economic aspect to it. My heart goes out to the young girls and to all other girls in that area who, for their own safety, will feel like covering up, no matter how hot it is etc.
I am glad you are letting the world know about these things. AND, of course, I love the poems you found. Kathy (Australia)"
Thanks to Kathy for her comment. She is right that the young men should have other things to do. This particular young man came out; not jobless but working in a factory, married and have a pregnant wife who will give birth in a few days and not from a very religious family.
But unfortunatelly there is really a great unemployment in the country. Turkiye has a very young population. 30 percent of 70.5 million population is under the age of 15 and half of the total is under 28. Education is compulsory and free from ages 6 to 15. The literacy rate is 95.3% for men and 79.6% for women, with an overall average of 87.4%. This low figure is mainly due to prevailing feudal attitudes against women in the east and southeastern provinces of the country. Total workforce is nearly 30 million while unemployment is around 10 %. The official unemployment rate conceals the fact that unemployment is up to 70.0% in some rural areas. And 20 percent of the population lives below the poverty line.
Growth in religious fundementalism certainly have an economic aspect as Kathy comments, but it is hard take only general indicators as economics, income, education etc for the rise of such unacceptable events. International politics have a very important role on the current situation of Turkey. Althought the tariquats always had a strong but unseen role in politics, radical Islamic groups of Middle East never managed to make base in the country. Begining with the last decades of Ottomans and raising on the strong secular construction of the Republic, any individual events like these or any kind of religious revolts could never get support in this society.
It is hard to analyze what is going on in our society now but one thing is sure; it is a part of the Cold War years' "Green Crescedent", today's "New Middle East Project" or "moderate Islam model" of world's super power.
Some young women who wear latest fashion, silk turbans, who has lots of make-up on their open faces in headscarfs can easily say they are "not secular", they prefer "sheria" on TVs today. It is impossible to understand how can not they realize that they owe even voicing these views to the democracy, secularism in this country.
Dear Kathy, you say; "My heart goes out to the young girls and to all other girls in that area who, for their own safety, will feel like covering up, no matter how hot it is etc."
How easy to make this comment for any healthy mind. We already have a name for it; "neighborhood pressure". It will happen. Ill minds will begin to measure women's belief, honour, goodname with the pieces of cloths they wear on their heads or bodies.
We will see... but we will not sit and watch...

Importance of WEEE Recycling on the Environment
Electronic waste, popularly known as e-waste, is a term used to describe electronic or electric items that require disposing. E-waste may include items such as old computers, televisions, cell phones and printers among others. Technology advances each day as the world tries to find newer and more innovative ways to carry out daily activities. Unfortunately, this fact also means that there is an increase in items that need disposing of.
Waste Electrical and Recycling Equipment Regulation recycling (weee recycling) is a European directive designating responsible and safe recycling of E-waste. WEEE recycling seeks to create awareness and promote proper disposing of electronic and electric items in order to protect the environment and increase raw materials for future manufacturing of electronics.
More information on weee recycling
How E-waste affects the Environment
According to a study carried out by Nations Environment Program, over 80 percent of e-waste is traded and dumped illegally. This is especially common in developing countries that haven't implemented laws and protocols that govern proper disposing of electronic and electrical waste materials.
Air Pollution
There are many ways that e-waste affects the air we breath. For instance, various processing plants are known to burn electronic wires in order to get to copper which is valuable. This results in the release of hydrocarbons into the environment. The same processing plants are also known to use chemicals to strip gold plated chips and as a result, emit heavy metals and brominated dioxins into the environment.
Water Pollution
Older versions of computers, televisions and cameras used cathode ray tubes and when they are broken down to remove the yoke, the shell is dumped leading to water pollution. Barium and lead, which are some of the contents in these shells leach into the ground and come into contact with water around the region. This makes the water dangerous to both humans and wildlife that depend on the water for survival.
Importance of Electronic Recycling
Landfill Space
The world is quickly running out of landfill space. This is due to the increase of electronics manufacture and short product life. By recycling these materials, we are helping free up landfill space.
Protect Environment
Cadmium, mercury, lead and chromium are some of the chemicals found in older electronic devices. These chemicals are released into the environment when disposed of improperly. It is estimated that up to 70 percent of the heavy metals found in landfills comes from electronic devices.
If you have electronics that require disposing of, then you'd be doing the world a favour by finding proper ways to recycle them.

Well, the truth is that you will never fully get over the death of a loved one, but you can find a way to get through it, so that you can continue living your own life. My dad passed away very suddenly from a massive heart attack in January of 2006, which was just over a year ago. I went through the grieving process like everybody else, but then I found myself unable to cope and I started suffering from a nervous breakdown. I started having panic attacks, horrible anxiety and I started to believe that I would die the same way my dad did, so I started feeling every little beat of my heart. I was afraid to get up in the morning, but I was afraid of death. I missed my dad terribly and his death made me aware of the possiblity of my own death. I had a number of symptoms that made me think that I had every disease or illness possible from Brain trama to Cancer, but I didn't have any of them, I was just scared to death from my father's loss. I didn't know how to take in the fact that my father had died, because what is death? You have to try and understand it, but when your afraid of death, you don't want to face it. I went to the doctor over and over, trying different types of medications. I thought I was having a heart attack every day. But through the support of my family, most of all my mother, I would not have gotten through it. I had to have faith and believe that my father was done here on Earth and that life does go on. I had to except my father's death, and believe that I was going to be okay. I got on a medication called Paxil, which has helped incredibly. I have started to live life again. You have to seek out support though because that is where your salvation is. Go to church, be with family and friends, and don't be alone. You have to tell yourself that you are a strong person that won't be broken because what don't break you only makes you stronger.

Does telnetting into RedBoot actually work to load a NetBSD kernel? Maybe I really need the serial port?Ok, I looked harder and found this: http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_install_NetBSD_on_the_Linksys_NSLU2_(Slug)_without_a_serial_port,_using_NFS_and_telnet So it looks like it should be possible to boot a tftp loaded kernel from RedBoot after telnetting to it. I guess the downside is you don't get a console, you have to do a full NFS setup to get a running system, then use that system to install onto a local USB disk. This is kind of a bummer. I'll try this. I'm also hoping to run an expect script from the tftp server machine so some form of unattended reboot might be possible. More later. Andy
load -r -b 0x200000 -h 192.168.0.2 whatever-the-name-of-your-kernel-isThe kernels built following the instructions in the wiki do boot. I've used them on a Slug with a serial port and one without. However, if it wasn't clear, you can't telnet into the kernel until after it boots up. So you've got to go through all the setup stuff (either NFS or USB disk) first. If you don't have a serial port, the hard part is waiting. The first time the system boots up, it will fsck the file system, which can take some time. But if you interrupt it, it will do it again next time you boot, so there's no getting out of it. The NFS version seems to boot faster the first time than a large UFS disk, but even there it can be minutes. For a 300 GB USB drive, it can be take an hour (or more). One of the reasons I put in the section on versions that are known to work is, with -current, you never really know if it will boot until you try it, and with no feedback you don't know if you did something wrong or if there is a problem with -current. So if you follow the instructions and it didn't boot, more than likely you did something wrong. But, then, maybe I did. ;-) One potential difficulty (though I've never checked it out) is that the Slug is big-endian and a UFS disk written with a little-endian system (i386) may not work. I know I had to enable the bi-endian file system (options FFS_EI) in the Slug configuration file when building the install kernel since crunchgen was running on a little-endian system. I tried to build an install version of the kernel that used telnet instead of the serial port, but was unsuccessful. Could never really figure out crunchgen. One thing I have only played with a little is putting a kernel into flash. Which is where we really want to go. I've gotten a bootable, gzipped kernel down to 800 kB or so, but don't know anything about unzipping and sticking it into the right memory location. I'm interested enough to have a go at it if anybody can point the way.
Hope this helps, Don

In this article I will be discussing what are the best screen protectors to buy for the ipad pro 9.7 and 12.5.There are lots of reasons as to why you might want to buy a screen protector for your ipad pro, the biggest obviously is to avoid scratches which can damage your screen and affect its touch screen responsiveness. Scratches are not covered by Apples warranty meaning you will have to foot the bill for replacing your screen and replacing an ipad pro screen can cost a lot of money! that is why it is important to protect your screen from the get go! Protecting your screen is really easy and simple… USE A SCREEN PROTECTOR!
Matte anti glare, clear or Tempered glass screen protectors?
Matt anti glare screen protectors are best in my opinion! If you are using your ipad pro to draw on using the apple pencil then if I was you I would go for the matte anti glare screen protector over the clear or tempered glass screen protectors. This is because matte anti glare screen protectors make drawing on your screen feel as though you are drawing on paper, due to the fact that the matte finished screen protectors have a little bit of a texture to them unlike the clear and tempered glass ones which are ultra smooth and will cause your pencil to slip and slide across the screen. A down side to the Matte screen protectors is that they can dull the screen slightly and because of the texture on them the the apple pencil nib may wear out quicker.The two screen protector that I have found work the best are the Photodon anti glare screen protector (if you live outside of the US postage can cost an absolute bomb from the photodon website) and the moshi anti glare screen protector for the ipad pro. Both of these screen protectors are really great, These screen protectors are not too thick so they will not create a massive parallax effect and they only slightly dim the screen, plus these protectors are really easy to apply and leave minimal bubbles behind!
What about Tempered glass and clear screen protectors?
If you are not drawing on your screen and just want something that will protect your screen from damage then a tempered glass screen protector maybe a better choice. Tempered glass screen protectors are a little thicker than matte of clear screen ones and may affect the responsiveness of your touch screen however they do protect your screen a lot better from scratches and damage and are great if you are using your iPad pro outside or something! Clear screen protectors will not dim the screen of your ipad unlike the matte anti glare ones however they are very slick and will be annoying to draw on.
-The only draw back of using a screen protector is that they can create an annoying parallax effect.One of the good things about the ipad pro which makes it better than the cintiq tablets is that when drawing with the pencil there is no parallax effect (the gap between the cursor and the pen)…. However if you do use a screen protector you will create a small parallax effect (about 0.3mm)! So it is a bit of a trade off between risking scratching your screen or having a parallax but being protected from scratches!
NON DISCLAIMER EVERYTHING I SAY IN THIS ARTICLE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUST. DONT BE TRICKED BY AMAZON AFFILIATE SCAMMERS.This mini review has been written solely to help people. There are hundreds of spam websites out there that are write disingenuous articles on the internet designed to get people to click their amazon affiliate links.

MALDEN - Seven months before the licenses for about 80,000 educators will expire, the Department of Education is encouraging the educators to utilize a new online system to renew their licenses months in advance.
The Education Reform Act of 1993 stipulates that all educators who hold a professional level license must renew the license every five years. The first major round of renewals was accomplished by June 17, 1999, leaving these educators until June 17, 2004 to renew their professional license.
License renewals granted prior to the deadline will take effect the day the old ones expire, and will remain in effect through June 17, 2009. Professional license renewals will cost $100 for each designated primary area license, and $25 for each additional area.
Over the past year the DOE has upgraded ELAR, the online Educator Licensure and Recruitment system. This system is streamlined and easy to follow, allowing those with all of their paperwork in order and who complete their application on-line to get their new license mailed out by the end of the next business day.
To get their license renewed, teachers must have completed their professional development plan, and earned the requisite number of Professional Development Points (PDPs). PDPs should be organized into three categories: content, pedagogy, and other. Educators will need to indicate PDPs earned in each category so they can confirm they have met the minimum requirements to renew their licenses when they go on-line to apply. The Department provides a downloadable form that many educators will find helpful in organizing their PDPs.
The Department will accept their "electronic signature" on an affidavit included with the on-line application that constitutes the educator's assurance that they have the required documentation. For most educators the online process will take just 10 minutes. Some of the on-line and paper applications will be randomly selected for an audit to confirm that they do meet all the requirements. Prior audits have confirmed that 99.7% of educators can provide the documentation have met all requirements.
Although the Department will accept the paper application, educators are strongly urged to renew their professional licenses on-line. Due to a 50 percent reduction in staff since the last major renewal period in 1999, applicants could experience a significant delay if they submit their applications on paper. The DOE is working with the education associations across the state now to bring technical assistance sessions to teachers with limited Internet access.
For more information, teachers should call the Licensure Call Center at 781-338-6600 or visit www.doe.mass.edu/educators.

Jefferson Parish Councilman Paul Johnston has endorsed letting East Jefferson General Hospital and West Jefferson Medical Center find separate lease partners. He joins Cynthia Lee-Sheng and Ben Zahn as the third person on the seven-member council to lend credence to the idea, which is also the recommendation of consultant Kaufman Hall & Associates Inc.
That effectively adds new momentum to an effort by East Jefferson General leaders to turn over their operations to Hospital Corp. of America. But it bucks the preference of the West Jefferson Medical Center board and the Parish Council's two at-large members, Elton Lagasse and Chris Roberts, who want Louisiana Children's Medical Center to lease both Jefferson hospitals.
Roberts, the council chairman, was vehemently opposed to splitting the hospitals last week when Kaufman Hall returned its recommendation. In a brief interview Thursday, he said any action to split the hospitals should first be put to voters, a position the West Jefferson board formally adopted Monday. The East Jefferson board has called on the Parish Council to allow a split instead of leasing both hospitals to Children's.
"That was never how this process was sold to the public in the beginning," Roberts said.
Councilman Ricky Templet, who has not stated his preference for a lessee, also balks at a split. But he said he is open to letting voters weigh in on the idea.
Councilman Mark Spears Jr. said he still hasn't decided whether he will vote on a lessee at all, because his wife is a physician at West Jefferson Medical Center. He has received clearance to vote from the state Ethics Board.
Lagasse would not comment on splitting the hospitals.
The hospitals, seeing their fiscal position failing in the long run, began seeking outside companies last year to take over their operations. The idea was for a single company to lease both hospitals for 30 years, a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars and perhaps the biggest and most important the Parish Council has ever faced.
But with the hospital boards unable to agree on a single lessee and the council divided on moving forward with Children's, the process has stalled for more than two months. Johnston's announcement could help get it moving again.
He said in a letter Wednesday to his colleagues that he based his position on "exhaustive personal analysis." And he cited Kaufman Hall's observation that a successful transaction depends on each hospital's enthusiastic embrace of the lessee, which hasn't happened: West Jefferson Medical Center's board wants Children's, but East Jefferson General's board wants Hospital Corp. of America.
Greg Feirn, Children's president and chief operating officer, said his organization is prepared to partner with only one hospital, if that's ultimately the only option. However, Feirn said, that scenario is not in the best interest of the parish.
Should a split occur according to the hospital boards' preferences, then East Jefferson "would be competing as a for-profit against a non-profit community based system," Feirn said. "That further divides the parish," he said.
As for working with an unwilling board such as East Jefferson's, Feirn said differences could be overcome. "We believe the majority of the employees and the medical staff would be extremely happy to work with LCMC and be part of our system. That's what's important," he said.
HCA Delta Division President Mel Lagarde said his firm prefers to operate both hospitals but would "comply with the next steps in this process" in the event of a split, albeit with a reduced a lease payment. HCA's proposed governing structure would not change, Lagarde wrote.

My weekly activity started strong. I managed my active calorie ring every single day (time to up my target!), smashing it on the Monday + 32 minutes of 'exercise' & 14 hours standing.
Err, it all went downhill from there… I feel like I should at the very least be completing my Active Calories AND my Stand Goal.
I don't really feel like I achieve the ring goals this week.
Moving on to number 2… Well, I did not complete any workouts. And I feel bad. Hopefully this motivates me more next time! I think I will shorten the workouts to at least get them logged.
#3… I started using RescueTime in conjuction with Exist.io which is a dashboard of 'everything':… Apple Health, Last.FM, the weather, productive time (more on this shortly), MyFitnessPal, and so many more. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're into stats/data and want to see correlations from your own life.
It seems I am a lazy bum on the weekends, so I think I will go for a walk later….!
Exist.io gets its productivity data from a service called 'RescueTime'. This runs on my work computer only and basically tracks if what I am currently doing is productive or distracting. For the first few days, I was obsessing over the reports but now I am happy to just let it run and look every couple of days.
For the first full week, I wanted to hit 4 hours of 'productive' time a day. I logged 25h27m on RescueTime in total this week. 18h14m 'very productive', 2h17m 'productive', with less than 2.5 hours of distracting time. I spent 4 days in the office, so it seems I smashed my 4 hour a day a goal! Result!
#4… I have a draft in Onenote waiting to be finalised! Spoiler, I played iOS games this week! Normal backlog service will resume soonish.
#5… We went through some more stuff, but it's getting harder now. Sentimental value is kicking in! Perhaps better storage solutions are the key to happiness in this regard.
#6… See number 4…

Residents and ManorCare sue hospital
One major nursing home provider has figured out a good way to avert harm from a group of residents suing it: The provider convinced the aggrieved individuals to team up with it in a lawsuit against a third party.
Residents of a North Dakota HCR ManorCare nursing home hit by hepatitis C dropped their lawsuit against the massive nursing home chain. Then they joined it in suing the hospital that provided phlebotomy and podiatry services.
In an amended lawsuit filed in early March, 21 victims of the 2013 hepatitis C outbreak at ManorCare Health Services-Minot said they now focus the blame on contracted services provider Trinity Health.
They allege Trinity "ignored and covered up" misconduct by its staff that led to the disease's spread. The new lawsuit also includes wrongful death claims against Trinity for at least three people who contracted hepatitis C during the outbreak, which affected more than 40 residents overall.
Trinity provided blood and podiatry services at the facility.
"The victims looked at the evidence, and withdrew their earlier claims against ManorCare," Mike Kendall, lead attorney for ManorCare, said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Trinity told McKnight's the company would "respond in court" to the amended lawsuit.
ManorCare has accused Trinity of causing the outbreak by failing to train its phlebotomists and ignoring suspicions that employees were re-using needles used to draw blood.
"Trinity is the common link to all of the infected patients," said Gordon Rudd, an attorney for the victims. "All of our clients relied on Trinity for medical care. Now, they have hepatitis C, and many of them can't afford the drugs they need."
ManorCare officials said the outbreak and subsequent lawsuits led them to sell the facility for $15 million less than it was worth. They said they plan to seek punitive damages against Trinity.

iQ Drops 'Aye Q Part 1'
Waco, Texas – June 22, 2016 – Unapologetic, unscripted, raw, energetic and expressive lyricism from start to finish. Dare say hip hop has been reborn and Tupac's resurrection has come to pass. iQ has extraordinary potential and a ceiling yet to be determined.
iQ originally from Shreveport, LA has been making waves after only a few short months he's climbed the charts and established himself as a serious musician. Songs such as "Sirens Outside," "Flava" and "Different Day" from his latest project Aye Q Part 1 have certainly impressed. An engineer employed at the Six Shooter Junction Eric Dane noted to iQ, "I don't know what you're going to do with it, but I'm behind it and you a hundred percent."
The hype has been built, the expectations are high and there's nothing left to do but to listen and cast judgement. Now, if this isn't something fans can listen to over and over again, hip hop may not be their genre of music because this is hip hop to the core. The essence created by iQ on this release is not to be ignored as its one of those albums that defines not only a gene, but a generation with sound, style and ease.
Those interested in hearing more from iQ and checking out his latest release, can check him out online.
iQ is an up and coming hip hop emcee who has just release Aye Q Part 1, an album that expresses the best rap has to offer today.

Victoria Prince: K-Fed, Can You Handle Me?
Kevin Federline may have met his match in new girlfriend Victoria Prince, who spent six months waiting tables at Houston's restaurant in Manhattan Beach before she left to play professional beach volleyball.
A former co-worker at a California restaurant tells Life & Style of 6-foot-two Victoria: "She's really smart and witty. She's a strong and independent woman, and always wears the pants in her relationship. I hope Kevin can handle her! She's pretty hardheaded. She's not afraid to speak her mind, even if it means insulting someone."
"He isn't really her type," the insider adds. "Most of the guys she's dated were athletes who led a really healthy, low-key lifestyle. But she's really into the whole hip-hop scene, so I think that's why she was drawn to Kevin. Victoria is nothing like Britney Spears! The only thing she has in common with Britney is that she loves to dance, too."

WASHINGTON -- The doctor's diagnosis hit gulf war veteran William Kay like a bombshell.
Mr. Kay, 52, a Naval reservist, had been exposed to chemical or bTC biological warfare while in the Persian Gulf war, determined Dr. Charles Jackson of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tuskegee, Ala.
It was the first diagnosis of "Persian Gulf syndrome" among the 4,000 veterans who believe they were exposed.
"It blew my mind," recalled Mr. Kay this week. "I expected it to say emphysema!" But Mr. Kay was gratified. "I said: 'That's what we've been looking for. Somebody's finally telling the truth!' "

Pet Health Concerns: Hepatocerebellar Degeneration
Hepatocerebellar degeneration is a little-known condition that is only found in Bernese Mountain Dogs. This disease is an inherited disorder that affects both the liver (which detoxifies the blood) and the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls balance). Both of the puppy's parents have to be carriers of the trait to pass it down to their puppies.
In most cases, this condition comes on very suddenly when puppies are between four and six weeks old. Symptoms include:
- Tilting of the head
- Bobbing of the head
- Hind limb stiffness
- Stumbling
- Acting "blind"
After a few days, affected puppies have difficulty standing and fall over because their ability to balance is compromised. They also may have bloated abdomens and become lethargic.
Unfortunately, there is no treatment for this condition and puppies with hepatocerebellar degenerationon do not live past six months of age.

Medway NHS trust faces new action
An NHS trust that has already been placed in special measures has been told it must take urgent action or face leadership changes.
Medway NHS Foundation Trust was put in special measures after the Keogh review this year found it had major failings.
Health regulator Monitor has now found problems are broader than first thought and has imposed new conditions on the trust's licence to ensure improvements.
Medway NHS said it recognised the urgency and was addressing the issues.
'A&E and maternity issues'
Paul Streat, Monitor's regional director, said: "We know that staff are working hard to improve the quality of the trust's services, but we need the organisation's leadership to do more to make sure that urgent change happens quickly.
"The new licence condition gives us the power to make changes at the top if the current leadership fails to deliver."
He said the trust had failed to address properly poor A&E performance.
Problems identified by the Care Quality Commission in midwifery and maternity services last month meant the trust continued to operate in breach of its licence, he added.
He also said an improvement director who was appointed to support the trust as part of the special measures regime had found that the trust had focused on tackling care quality issues but needed "a credible clinical strategy for the organisation as a whole".
Mark Devlin, chief executive of Medway NHS, said: "Our new leadership team has made some real and tangible progress in tackling issues raised by the Keogh review."
But he added: "I absolutely accept the need for a new comprehensive clinical strategy to sustainably transform services."
'More nurses and consultants'
He said top priorities for the new medical director, chief nurse and whole team were to ensure improvements and shape the new clinical strategy.
He added improvements already made included a fall in staff vacancies, more than 60 additional nurses and over 20 clinical consultants employed, lower staff sickness and lower staff turnover.
The first phase of redesigning the emergency department was under way, he added.
Fourteen trusts across England were investigated for high death rates this year after the public inquiry into the Stafford Hospital scandal.
The investigation, led by NHS England's medical director Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, led to 11 of those trusts being placed in special measures.
Medway was criticised for poor communication with patients, poor management of deteriorating patients, inappropriate referrals, delayed discharges and long waits in A&E.
