`HEADLINE: Frost & Sullivan Truck Accessories Gain Popularity With the Consumer as Well as OEMs
`
`DATELINE: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 3
`
`BODY:
`
`Life's little luxuries are starting to cost more and more as people are accessorizing their trucks within the first
`month of purchase. According to recent strategic research by Frost & Sullivan, "The North American Truck Accessory
`Aftermarket," consumer demographics are changing and trucks are being acquired to be used as the second vehicle in
`today's households.
`
`This surge in growth can be attributed to the increase in sales for the light truck industry, which includes pickup
`trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans. It is expected that by the year 2000, light truck sales will have reached
`approximately 50 percent of the total vehicle sales. Accordingly, the market for light truck accessories is expected to
`grow with revenues of approximately $1.54 billion in 1996.
`
`In the first year of ownership, consumers will spend approximately $1,700 to accessorize their new wheels.
`Automotive analyst Danielle McDonald says, "Accessories are purchased for two primary reasons: they serve
`a particular function and they add cosmetically to the vehicle." Trucks are being purchased for recreational use and are
`no longer strictly work-related. Women and families are purchasing trucks in increasing numbers, and are opting for
`those vehicles that come equipped with luxury items.
`
`Customers are looking for features that add an element of style to their vehicle. Those luxury items have been
`putting the accessory manufacturers as well as the OEM designers on the edge of their seats while consumer?
`are changing their preferences. It is becoming obvious that the aesthetics of a truck are becoming more significant then
`just the pleasures of having a new vehicle. The accessories on the truck and how it looks may even be just as important
`as how the truck actually handles on the road.
`
`In answer to customers‘ needs, afiermarket manufacturers are turning to alternative materials to achieve an OEM
`look. Instead of designing a one-size-fits-all accessory, manufacturers are designing the accessories to fit the light truck
`and achieve an OEM look. Manufacturers are using alternative materials, such as fiberglass and ABS plastic, to
`accommodate the new styling of contoured light trucks.
`'
`
`Competition in this market is becoming extremely heavy, as both large and small manufacturers are competing for
`
`

`
`the consumers’ dollar. Companies that can win an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) contract have the
`competitive edge. They can sell their accessories through new car dealers and can view model specifications before the
`rest of the competition does.
`
`The accessories most popular with new truck owners are bedliners and truck caps. These are the most commonly
`purchased items and are used primarily to protect the bed of the truck and to enhance the cosmetic appearance of
`the vehicle.
`
`Other accessories included in this research are running boards and steps, hood shields, light covers, grille guards
`and brush guards, tool boxes, overhead truck and van racks, trailer hitches, and side rails.

`HEADLINE: NEW TYPE OF INSULATION IN THE JEANS FOR LANDS’ END
`
`BYLINE: Jane Burns
`
`BODY:
`
`Sometimes a pair ofjeans become so comfortable, people feel they could live in them. Now, thanks to a clothing
`drive organized by Lands’ End and Cotton Incorporated, some people can do just that.
`
`Until June 21, Lands‘ End Inlets are collecting gently used denim of any color that will be recycled into Ultra
`Touch Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation and used in homes under construction. The two Madison stores at 209 Junction
`Road and 411 State St. are part of the 13-store drive in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and New York.
`
`"I think it's a really nice opportunity for customers and employees to give back to the community in a really fun
`way," said Amanda Broderick, public relations manager for Lands‘ End.
`
`Broderick said the drive works well with other Lands‘ End projects, such as recycling the packaging material in
`which store products anive and an annual coat drive.
`
`The insulation, which ends up blue like most denim, is donated to charitable organizations, such as Habitat for
`Humanity, that build homes. It takes approximately 500 pairs ofjeans to make enough insulation for an average U.S.
`home.
`
`"We sent a sample to each of the stores so if customers have questions, and of course our associates are curious,
`too," said Gary Willis, retail operations manager for Lands’ End Inlets. “Most insulation is very itchy, this is not, it's
`very sofi. It felt just like a pair of denim pants."
`
`The collection will also be part of a world record effort by National Geographic Kids magazine. The hope is to set a
`Guinness World Record for the largest collection of clothes to recycle.
`
`Customers get a bonus for their donation, too. For each pair of used jeans donated, they'll receive a $5 voucher for
`any BackRack purchase of $25 or more made until June 30.

`BYLINE: PAM LEBLANC AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
`
`BODY:
`
`It sounds easy enough. With gas at $4 a gallon, you'll give up your car and bike to work.
`
`But how tough is it to pedal to the office? What kind of gear and skills do you need to do it? Is it really worth it?
`
`That depends largely on the route. I live eight miles from my office, and most of my commute is along the Shoal
`Creek hike-and-bike trail. For two—thirds of the ride, I don't have to worry about car traffic. My husband, who's pretty
`handy around a bike frame and crank set, built my commuter bike from parts and outfitted it with a rack and removable
`bag, lights, blinkies and a bell. I don my helmet and neon yellow safety vest once a week — I'd do it more ofien if I didn't
`have a schedule packed with far-flung interviews - for the 35-minute cruise downtown.
`
`I'm lucky. Most people face obstacles such as busy roads, high-speed traffic and scarce bike lanes when they're
`planning a commute. Some don't have showers at the office like I do, and others have too far to travel.
`'
`
`Still, some 1,800 people — about 0.7 percent of Austin workers at that time - commuted to their jobs by bike in
`1990, according to U.S. Census data. By 2000, that number had increased to 3,280 - about 1 percent of the city's labor
`force. That number was 3.3 percent in the central part of the city. And in the past six months, I've seen more people than
`ever commuting by bike.
`
`Austin easily ranks above other Texas cities. Just 0.1 percent of the Dallas work force and 0.2 percent of the San
`Antonio work force ride a bike to work, for example. But it's far behind some U.S. cities such as Portland, where 1.8
`percent bike to work; Seattle, where 1.9 percent ride; and Eugene, Ore., where an impressive 5.8 percent bike commute.
`
`Those numbers are probably low, too, says city demographer Ryan Robinson. They only count folks who commute
`more often by bike than any other mode, not those of us who ride just one or two days a week.
`
`Regardless, the City of Austin's Bicycle Plan goal is to have 4 percent of the work force commuting by bike by
`2008 and 8 percent (a whopping 35,566 people) by 2015. Robinson expects to see a dramatic jump the next time

`
`numbers are calculated. "A big driver is the cost of fuel," he says.
`
`Yellow Bike, a nonprofit community bike shop that provides free education in bicycle repair, has experienced a
`boom in people coming in to work on their bikes since the cost of gas exploded. Between March and May 2007, when
`the average price of gas was $2.75 per gallon, Yellow Bike sawan average of 115 visits per week. A year later, when
`gas had increased to $3.65 per gallon, the shop saw an average of 176 visits per week.
`
`Capital Metro doesn't track the number of riders who put bikes in the racks on the front of its buses, but
`spokeswoman Misty Whited says they've been fielding more calls about how the racks work and concerns about them
`being full. All Cap Metro buses except the downtown Dillos can carry two bikes.
`
`Bike commuting has plenty of benefits beyond saving gas costs. Pedaling at only 10 mph, a 140-pound cyclist
`burns about 400 calories an hour. And it's fun. Instead of fuming in gridlock traffic, you're sprinting down a trail,
`chatting with other bike commuters, noticing the turtles in the creek. It's eco-friendly, too.
`
`We checked in with some local cyclists who recently started commuting to work by bike to see how they made it
`vvork.
`
`pleblanc@statesman.com; 445-3994
`
`Choose the right bike for your route
`
`The first thing you need if you're going to ride to work is a bike. The second
`thing is a plan. A little research and a visit to one of Austin's many bike s
`hops should be your first steps on the road to commuting.
`
`they're sturdy bikes
`thin-tired racers;
`The best commuters aren't always fast,
`with racks, panniers, beefier tires and a comfy seat. A hybrid or cyclo—cross
`bike is a good choice. If you're on a trail the whole time, you might even pr
`efer an inexpensive mountain bike. If your route is very short and through nei
`ghbor-
`
`hood streets, maybe a fun (but heavy!) cruiser bike like an Electra would work.
`The biggest challenge for most people is finding a safe route. At Bicycle Spor
`t Shop, 517 S. Lamar Blvd., customers can sit down at no cost with a staffer wh
`0 will help you map out a feasible cycling route from your home to work. For a
`fee (starting at $65),
`the shop will send a Street Cycling-certified employee t
`o your home to ride with you the first time you make the commute.
`‘
`
`The next biggest problem? Cleaning up. Not every workplace is equipped with sh
`owers. If you don't have access to one,
`try wiping down with a little water an
`d alcohol or baby wipes.
`V
`
`You'll need something to carry your stuff in. Options include a rack with a re
`movable "trunk," panniers that clip on a rear rack or a backpack.
`
`As for clothing,
`T-
`
`the more wicking power it has,
`
`the better. Don't wear cotton
`
`If you're ridin
`shirts; they'll be soaked in sweat 10 minutes into your route.
`g at night, Bicycle Sport Shop recommends two red lights in back — one solid re
`d and one flashing — plus a white light attached to your helmet or front handle
`bars. Other items? Reflective strips for your helmet or bike, a water bottle, a
`flat tire kit, a good U—lock, a bell and maybe a safety vest.
`Sales of accessories such as panniers, bags,
`racks, bells and lights are up ab
`out 20 percent at Bicycle Sport Shop this year, says Chris Carter, marketing/p
`rome-
`
`tions manager. Sales of hybrid bikes for commuting have surpassed sales of moun
`tain bikes, which used to be the store's biggest sellers.

`
`"It's one less car, it lowers your carbon footprint - all that stuff we've bee
`n hearing about," says Carter, who bikes 21 miles to work. "I think it's invig
`orat-
`
`ing. It completely changes your mind—set going into the day. You're awake, prod
`uctive, and you just did something good for yourself."
`
`The store is even running an in—house commuting competition to encourage emplo
`yees to ride to work. Teams with names like Magnificent Wheels of Destiny coun
`t miles, earn points and talk trash. So far,-about 50 participants have logged
`nearly 8,500 miles since the contest started May 5. “The parking lot definite
`ly is a lot emptier," Carter says.
`
`At Mellow Johnny's, Lance Armstrong's new bike shop at 400 Nueces St., commute
`rs can take a shower
`(towel provided) and store their bike for $1 a day. A pun
`ch card system and commuter club is in the works,
`too. And the first Friday of
`every month,
`the shop provides free coffee to bike commuters between 7 and 9
`a.m. so far, about a dozen regulars have used the service, says employee Eilee
`n Schaubert
`
`Once you're on the road, be aware that many motorists are not aware of cyclist
`s‘ rights. Likewise,
`some cyclists disregard traffic laws.
`
`The key is respect - on both sides.

`Commuting tips
`
`* If you haven't ridden your bike in a while, have a bike shop mechanic inspect
`it.
`
`* You might want to consult with your physician to make sure you're fit enough
`to ride.
`
`* Design a route by looking at the city's bicycle route map. Remember,
`test route might not be the safest or most enjoyable.
`* Wear a helmet.

`
`* Do a test run. Drive the route and look for things such as wide lanes and tra
`ffic flow. Then do a test ride on your bike on a weekend prior to riding on a b
`usy weekday.
`
`* Know how to fix a flat. Consider getting puncture-resistant tires and tubes.
`Carry a pump,
`tire levers, spare tube and patch kit.
`
`* Use a bell to announce yourself to other cyclists and pedestrians.
`
`* Get a rack, panniers, a seat bag, backpacks or messenger bag to haul your stu
`ff.

`
`HEADLINE: DNC: Romney Labors Over Latest Iraq Position: Admits There's a Civil War, But Still Won't Change
`Course
`
`BYLINE: Targeted News Service
`
`DATELINE: WASHINGTON
`
`BODY:
`
`The Democratic National Committee issued the following news bulletin:
`
`While smooth talking Mitt Romney finally conceded that Iraq is the in the midst of a civil war, he once again
`refused to break from President Bush's failed strategy. When asked by New Hampshire voters what he would do in Iraq
`if elected, Romney yesterday echoed President Bush's empty rhetoric in support of the troop surge.
`
`On the same day President Bush told our troops in Iraq that "if the kind of success we are now seeing continues, it
`will be possible to maintain the same level of security with fewer American forces," Romney "expressed optimism that
`Gen. Petraus' report would show ‘that the surge is working from a military standpoint and therefore, from a military
`standpoint, we're able to start pulling back."‘ [Chicago Tribune, 9/4/07; ABCNews.com, 9/3/07] Romney's blind loyalty
`to President Bush's failed strategy comes despite a General Accounting Offlce report that shows the Iraqi government
`has failed to meet ‘'11 of its 18 political and security goals." [AP, 9/4/07]
`
`The fact is, Romney has spent his entire summer flip-flopping, ducking and dodging his way on the war in a
`desperate attempt to hide the fact that, as Romney himself recently told a conservative blogger, his "plan for winning in
`Iraq" is exactly the same as President Bush's. [ABCNews.com, 7/25/07]
`
`"No matter how he tries to dress it up, Romney's only plan for Iraq is to continue supporting President Bush's
`failed policies," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera. "Unfortunately for Romney, the
`American people already know that he is just another Bush Republican who refuses to offer the American people a new
`direction in Iraq, something all of our Democratic candidates are committed to doing."
`
`Smooth Talking Mitt Romney:

`All Over the Map On Iraq
`
`Romney Displays "Superficial" Knowledge on Iraq, "Never Mentions Iraq" in Stump Speech. A Time Magazine
`column highlighted Romney's "superficial" knowledge of the war and other top issues and blasted Romney for "the

`
`brazen cynicism of his candidacy," saying "he skims the surface of issues" in a stump speech that "never mentions Iraq."
`In fact, on a recent swing through New Hampshire, Romney "cruised through two performances before the word Iraq
`perforated his balloon." When finally asked about it by a high school student, Romney "offered a Welter of details?
`which sounded sort of knowledgeable but was actually quite superficial" before getting to the point: "he would support
`the President." [Time.com, 5/31/07]
`
`Romney Calls Iraq "A Mess," Retroactively Opposes Bush Iraq Actions. "Confronted by an unhappy questioner,
`Mitt Romney said tonight at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire that the situation in Iraq ‘is a mess.’ Romney's
`assessment was delivered by way of agreeing with a gentleman who stood up at a Nashua VFW post and complained
`that the conflict is 'an unmitigated mess.’ ‘What I'd like to know is, what, if you get elected, precisely what would you
`do?’ asked the unidentified citizen at an event carried lived by C-SPAN. 'Ok, well first of all, it is a mess,’ Romney
`quickly admitted. ‘So, so when you got a mess, there is no easy, good answer. Alright. The easy, good answer is to turn
`the clock back and do some things differently a long time ago."' [Politico.com, 9/3/07]
`
`* FLASHBACK: Romney I Would Not Do it Differently from Bush. During an appearance on the O'Reilly
`Factor, Mitt Romney said, "I wouldn't presumeto present a plan different from that of the President. But I believe he
`was right to take on the war on terror on an aggressive front rather than a defensive front. We toppled the government
`walking away would mean a humanitarian disaster. We're there and we have a responsibility to finish the job." [O'Reilly
`Factor, FNC, 9/27/06]
`
`Romney Praises Bush "Principled Leadership" on Iraq... The day afler the President vetoed the Iraq troop
`withdrawal bill, Romney called the President to offer his support and ‘commend his leadership. An adviser to Romney
`said that the presidential contender telephoned to "commend the President for his veto" and praise his "principled
`leadership in the war on terror." Romney's adviser made it clear that the campaign was not seeking to distance itself
`from Bush. "On the eve of this debate," said the adviser on the significance of the call, "it says we're not running from
`this guy at all." [Politico.com, 5/3/07]
`'
`
`...Then Backracks, Shifts Rhetoric on Bush Iraq Plan. "For Republican presidential hopefiil Mitt Romney, the V
`difference between “real" and “reasonable" is the distance he's traveled on President George W. Bush's Iraq war policy.
`In April, Romney said Bush's plan to send about 30,000 additional troops to Iraq had a ‘real chance’ of succeeding. On
`July 26, he was more equivocal, saying in an interview:‘I don't give that a high probability, I give it a reasonable
`probability?.' Romney, who isn't noted for jabs at Bush, is simply preparing for a call for a post-surge strategy, said
`Tom Rath, a senior adviser." [Bloomberg, 8/3/07]
`
`Romney Flip-Flops on Iraq Benchmarks. In April, Romney opposed public timetable for Iraq, saying on Good
`Morning America that "The president and Prime Minister al-Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones
`that they speak about. But those shouldn't be for public pronouncement." [Good Morning America, ABC News, 4/3/07]
`Weeks later, Romney said President Bush should disclose benchmarks and milestones, telling the AP that "If you don't
`publish any kind of milestone or benchmark," Romney said, you leave people thinking "you're only telling us the things
