  * LogManager is a class to handle all aspects of Data Logging within OpenSeizureDetector.
  * It performs several functions:
  * - It will store seizure detector data to a local database on demand (it is called by the SdServer background service)
- * - <FIXME: Not Yet Implemented> It will retrieve data from the local database for display on the user interface
- * - <FIXME: Not Yet Implemented> It will periodically trim the local database to retain only a specified number of days worth of data
- * to avoid the local storage use increasing continuously.
+ * - It will store system log data to the local database on demand (called by any part of OSD via the osdUtil functions)
  * - It will periodically attempt to upload the oldest logged data to the osdApi remote database - the interface to the
  * remote database is handled by the WebApiConnection class.   It only tries to do one transaction with the external database
  * at a time - if the periodic timer times out and an upload is in progress it will not do anything and wait for the next timeout.*
