Listeners respond to WMNF's Ahmed Bedier loss of his brother to bloodshed in Egypt
Janelle Irwin
Last Call Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Security and health officials say 60 people have been killed across Egypt after tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters took to the streets in defiance of a military-imposed state of emergency following bloodshed earlier this week.
As military helicopters circled overhead, residents pelted the Brotherhood protesters with rocks and glass bottles. The two sides also fired on one another, sparking running street battles.
Police in uniform were nowhere to be seen as civilians fired at one another on a bridge in Cairo that crosses over an upscale island neighborhood where many foreigners and ambassadors live.
Security officials say eight people were killed in the Nile Delta province of Dumyat north of Cairo and four people were killed in the Suez Canal city of Ismailiya. The cause of their deaths was not immediately clear.
Officials say five policemen also were killed across the country.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
Violence erupted after protesters took the streets Friday, responding to the Muslim Brotherhood's call following the deaths of 638 people Wednesday when security officials raided two sit-in protests.
The brother of WMNF True Talk host Ahmed Bedier is among those killed during clashes.comments powered by Disqus

What could happen on college campuses if Congress doesn't pass the real VAWA?
When students and parents are looking at colleges and universities to consider, they will have no information about how safe that campus is. They'll probably read about how many students have internships, the percentage of students who study abroad, and the average GPA of athletes. However, they won't know how many sexual assaults and instances of dating violence or stalking take place on the campus each year. They won't know what type of sexual assault or violence policies the institution has in place, and they won't be able to know the disciplinary consequences of assaulting someone on that campus. There will be zero transparency.
When students arrive on campus, there will be no educational or preventative programming. No one will be told what the school's policy on sexual assault is. No one will be told where to go, who to call, or what to do if they are sexually assaulted. There will be no bystander education programs; no one will learn how they can help prevent sexual assault.
None of the campus law enforcers or administrators will be trained on issues of sexual assault or dating violence.
If a university chooses to inform their students about their policies or if an institution wants to provide preventative programming for students, they will receive no money from the government to do so.
This is a worst-case scenario. Unfortunately, if VAWA is not reauthorized, we could face many of these consequences.
I still have two more years at my university, and my sister will be starting college in the fall. This is real for me. If we don't get a real VAWA passed before Congress leaves for the summer—something close to the Senate-passed version of VAWA (S.1925)—college campuses stand to be a much more dangerous place for me, my sister, and college students all across the country.
We stand to lose the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act and the Clery Act, which increases transparency. Community members, current students, prospective students, and parents would have no way of knowing statistics for a campus or what policies are in place.
More than that, the Senate bill goes even further to require that institutions have prevention and awareness education programs as well as disciplinary procedures for the perpetrators. Without these, colleges and universities can easily fail to ever talk about sexual assault and dating violence and never provide its students with any kind of information about these topics.
The Senate VAWA bill includes grants for institutions of higher learning, but stipulates that they must comply with regulations such as prevention education for all incoming students and training for campus law enforcement on issues of sexual assault and dating/domestic violence. Currently, colleges and universities don't have to accept this money if they don't want to follow the rules. However, without these provisions, there will be less money to help end violence on campus. Fewer law enforcement personnel and administrators will know how to handle violence against women and sexual assault. Fewer students will feel safe knowing their college stands against violence, and fewer people will know where to go for help.

I've been haunting this part of the Mag Mile in Chitown for over 30 years. I was introduced to the Saloon about 15 years ago, and I keep going back every time I'm in Chicago (if you stay at the Drake, it's very coveniently close by). The bar part is small and intimate - all old wood and dark, and generally peopled with locals that live in the neighborhood. They are mostly a gentle, tippling lot that will converse with you for hours at the drop of a hat (or free drink). I don't think this place has yet been discovered by the business crowd as it is connected to a non-business-type hotel. Which makes it even better - - no loud suit types yakking on cell phones and talking biz trash. The best reason to come is the martinis (they serve food here?). Big, very cold, straight up man-sized classic glasses of crystal yum-yums buoyed by a large olive stuffed with really good bleu cheese. While you sip the tingly goodness (I prefer vodka), study behind the bar with its interesting array of unique and sometimes fairly rare liquors. The bartenders are usually a hip lot (never the same one each time I return - turnover must be a bitch) but seem friendly and eager to please if not a little bored with serving the locals. It's a great place to stop in the late afternoon to get a little high before deciding where next to go in the cornocopia that is Chicago.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday at the Saloon Steak House (SSH). We came into to town to do it up and felt like this seemed like a great choice. I had read a couple of posted reviews so went with it. First bad step is that it is in a Hotel, and I have this phobia / or distaste for eating dinner at a hotel. People do not travel all the way to Chicago to eat at the hotel. I am sure teh people who stayed at the Seneca Hotel, went somewhere else for dinner. It just happens to be that way., Anyway, the steaks were very good, plenty of food. My wife the fillet and I the small prime rib, which I was not able to finish so plenty. Good wine list, and extremely good service. But they were not busy, so I would expect good service. Nice location and value was there for a good meal in Downtown Chicago. 100$ with one drink or wine a piece.
Posted by me on 07/30/2007
Ate here with a "buy one dinner, get one free" coupon and wasn't exactly sure what to expect...but it was really a treat! The food was quite good (steaks have a nice char on the outside, which you don't always see in "upscale" steak restaurants, but it was a refreshing change from the typical butter-drenched steaks). Service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is way less pretentious than some of the other upscale spots...we enjoyed ourselves and had a delicious meal! Definitely try the mashed potatoes w/bacon, scallion, and creme fraiche and the cheesecake for dessert!
Posted by Vic on 03/03/2006
We used to take our out of town guests here for what was the best steak and prime rib in the area. It was the seasoning that made it so special. The last time we took a guest, the meat was boring. We asked our waiter and learned that people complained that there was too much seasoning on the prime rib, so they took it off. Because of the lack of the wonderful flavor, we will no longer eat here.

ELIZABETHTOWN Several committees and sub-committees met for the Essex County Board of Supervisors on July 14. Here is a brief summary of noteworthy discussions: After requesting resolutions authorizing the addition of HICAP grant funding to the budget, Patty Bashaw from the Office for the Aging expressed great concern regarding many people who may not be eligible for HEAP this winter, yet will need assistance in helping to heat their homes. She suggested setting aside funds as a safety net to assist people who could easily end up struggling to pay for heating oil. In the Department of Public Works committee, DPW superintendent Fred Buck made a request to transfer $190,000 budgeted for road machinery into funds for gas and diesel. According to Buck, the DPW has already exhausted its entire anticipated fuel budget for 2008 and the transfer is necessary to deal with the rising cost of fuel. Nancy Dougal from the county transportation department reported an increase in ridership on the countys public transportation system. Nearly 350 people are now using the buses on a regular basis. In anticipation of grant money, Dougal requested authorization to purchase another bus which would be used for a route to Jay. Dougal said that the one-call center for the transportation program could be established within the next month. Representatives from One Work Source attended the transportation committee meeting to offer their perspective on how the transportation system can serve the needs of both employers and employees. Town of Jay Supervisor Randall Douglas expressed emphatic support of a plan to offer ride-share participants a guaranteed ride home in case of an emergency.

Would you want another vacation in Destin if you knew you'd once again have to creep-and-stop, creep-and-stop, creep-and-stop for more than an hour while waiting to pay a toll to cross the Mid-Bay Bridge?
Coincidence took us north from our Destin home two straight Saturdays, causing us to return in the late afternoon. The paragraph above describes our first homeward drive. We could've bypassed most of the creeping cars by exiting into Niceville and returning at the last entrance before the bridge. But that seemed unfair to all those out-of-state visitors.
Knowing we'd face the same mess the next Saturday caused us to bypass the new road and drive the old way through Niceville, entering the bridge road half a mile from the toll-takers. We got through with a much shorter delay. On the bridge, southbound traffic had to take turns with northbound traffic because of an accident. Police were doing their best to move folks through. Imagine how long those thousands of out-of-staters had waited in this mess trying to get to their condos!
That second traffic snarl was unavoidable. But the every-Saturday mess shouts for attention.
The problem mostly relates to that two-lane bridge. It was built too small. Unless the bridge is widened, the Bridge Authority should look at utilizing its new license plate identification technology instead of stopping every vacationer for a toll. Stop-and-go lights might control each lane as traffic funnels into the single bridge lane.
Such a system should move traffic a little faster. Of course, the only real solution is a wider bridge.

Each spring, the Human Rights Program and the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies celebrate the tremendous work of students in human rights with the Inna Meiman Award and the Sullivan Ballou Award. This year three University of Minnesota undergraduate students have been recognized for their accomplishments in promoting and protecting human rights. Melanie Paurus has been awarded the 4th Annual Inna Meiman Human Rights Award, while Joe Fifield and Anna Meteyer have been honored with the Sullivan Ballou Award.
The Inna Meiman Award is given in recognition of the friendship between Inna Meiman, a Soviet era Jewish refusenik who was repeatedly denied a visa to seek medical treatment, and Lisa Paul, a graduate of the University of Minnesota who fought tirelessly on her behalf, including a 25-day hunger strike that galvanized a movement for Inna's freedom. The award is intended to recognize a University of Minnesota student who embodies a commitment to human rights. As this year's recipient, Melanie Paurus will receive a $1,000 scholarship.
The Sullivan Ballou Award is supported by the Sullivan Ballou Fund and is named after Major Sullivan Ballou, an Army soldier killed at the First Battle of Bull Run in the U.S. Civil War. The award honors Major Ballou's memory by recognizing a student who devotes heartfelt energy to promote human rights. The Sullivan Ballou Fund gives $1000 awards to celebrate and affirm people acting from the heart. They provide compassion, services, or advocacy to their local communities, the poor, homeless, children, victims of violence and mistreatment or the disabled.
Melanie, Joe and Anna embody the spirit with which these awards were created - recognizing a significant personal contribution to protecting human rights and the heartfelt energy that compels an advocate to take meaningful action.

Seborrhea in dogs is a condition which upsets a natural skin process known as keratinization. The result is skin which gradually thickens over time and becomes scaly, oily, and crusty. Seborrhea can cause extremely uncomfortable and painful skin conditions, and treatments should begin as soon as possible to reduce any discomfort and pain that the dog may be feeling.
Primary seborrhea is a genetically inherited disorder which begins to appear when the dog is generally less than 2 years old. American Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Dachshunds, English Springer Spaniels, German Shepherds, Labradors, and West Highlands Terriers are breeds which have increased risks for developing primary seborrhea.
Secondary seborrhea is generally the result of skin allergies (often caused by parasitic bites from fleas, ticks, or mites), hormonal imbalances, or diseases such as hypothyroidism. In many cases, dogs with primary seborrhea are predisposed to developing secondary seborrhea as well.
The symptoms of seborrhea include oily or greasy skin and hair coat, skin inflammation, scaly or flaky skin, thickening skin, excessive licking and scratching of the skin, and in severe cases oily crusts which form on the skin.
While there is no specific test for seborrhea, it is generally diagnosed through symptoms, pet history, microscopic examination of the skin, and blood tests to rule out any other disease or to identify a contributing disease to the condition.
Treatments include prescription medicated shampoos which contain ingredients such as salicylic acid, tar, and benzoyl peroxide. A veterinarian will need to determine the extent and type of seborrhea present to prescribe the right shampoo for the dog's condition.
The treatment for seborrhea is good, however most dogs with this disorder will require continued medicated baths, nutritional support such as omega-3 fatty acid supplements, and consistent parasite control to reduce future seborrhea outbreaks.

There is a difference between on-campus security and the security at the apartments students may live in. Kirkwood's Campus security patrol's just the campus grounds and does not reach any of the near-campus apartments.
Kirkwood Campus Security Officers patrol the campus, respond to emergencies and other calls for service, conduct traffic checks on campus, walk thru the campus buildings, staff special events, and facilitate a variety of safety and security presentations. Click here for more information about Kirkwood's Campus Security: Security Webpage.
Many of the apartments that Kirkwood endorses have private security companies that patrols the grounds 7 days a week. Here at Kirkwood we highly recommend that students obtain this number from the apartment complex office. The CRPD also patrols the apartment complexes often as they are on patrol routes.

In response to requests from its patients, Wooster Community Hospital, Wooster, Ohio, offers bundled prices for dozens of common procedures and services to self-pay patients. Popular services include:
About 5.6 percent of Wooster's patient population is self-pay, which includes members of the Amish community. Wooster always extends a 25 percent discount off its chargemaster prices to self-pay patients who pay in full within seven days of service. The package prices, which include all hospital, physician, and ancillary fees, generally include a slightly bigger discount. Payments for package prices are collected at the time of the service.
"Regardless of the exact discount, the customer usually perceives it as a better value because this eliminates the unknown," says Scott Boyes, director of fiscal services and CFO. "When they walk out after their services are rendered, they are finished and they are not going to get a bill."
Boyes' staff works individually with local surgeons, obstetricians/gynecologists, radiologists, and other specialists—some of whom are employed by the hospitals—who are willing to offer package pricing. Together they decide what services could be appropriately bundled into a package.
Then they ask other physicians—for example, pathologists and anesthesiologists—to offer a discount on their services that need to be included in a bundle.
Wooster does not have a cost accounting system to help determine appropriate prices. So Boyes starts by checking what Medicare pays the hospital and physicians for a given service or procedure. "We set the price a little higher than Medicare payments because, like most hospitals, we lose money on Medicare rates," Boyes says. "This gives us something from which to base our pricing."
If the total sum of all physician, hospital, and ancillary fees for a given procedure is too high to be competitive, Wooster tries to negotiate with physicians for lower fees. If consensus cannot be reached between two specialty physicians, Wooster publishes two package prices for the same procedure.
"For example, if one orthopedic group is only willing to accept X dollars for a package on a total knee, but the other group is willing to go lower, it is pointless to try and keep driving to a common price for both," Boyes says. "I just list two different package prices in what we publish. This is the package price for Doctor X and this is the package price for Doctor Y. And then I let the consumers choose."
Physicians who participate in the package price program introduce the bundled price option to patients when they decide to have a specific procedure or service.
These steps are followed:
Overall, the administrative burden associated with package prices is less than that required to submit insurance claims, prepare patient statements, and collect from both patients and insurers, says Kristen Shoup, the hospital's manager of revenue cycle. "With package prices, we do have to process checks to other parties, but it is very controllable on our end, whereas when we are dealing with an insurance company, it is consistently more challenging to get the claim paid," she says.
Wooster's package price program is similar to that of several other hospitals in northeastern Ohio. Wooster posts most of its package prices on its website, but otherwise does not promote the program, which began in response to requests from members of the area's large Amish community, all of whom are self-pay. Because members of the Amish community expect to get package prices for all services, they will call Wooster and other area providers to ask about needed services that are not listed in the price book. "If there's some procedure that's not listed, we will go ahead and assemble a package price," Shoup says.
Wooster representatives meet with Amish leaders each year to provide its package prices, which are published in a book that members of the Amish community use to evaluate their options.
"They don't like surprises, and they don't like bills from four different providers," Boyes says.
For that matter, neither do hospitals and physicians. Wooster and the physicians it works with are amenable to sizable discounts for the bundled services because they are paid in full at the time of service. Thus, there are no insurance claims to process, billing and collection expenses, or write-offs of uncollectible debts.
Wooster began offering package prices several years ago after learning that another area hospital was doing so. It was an easy decision, Boyes says.
"Frankly, in our area, if you're not offering packages, you are not going to have the Amish business, because word-of-mouth is powerful in that community," he says. "And if you are not offering packages, they perceive, rightly so, that you don't care about their community's business."
The package prices are available to all patients, not just those in the Amish community, including patients with high-deductible plans who want to limit their out-of-pocket expenditures. Package prices for imaging studies are particularly popular.
"When patients need an MRI or a CT or even a PET scan, we are able to roll that together with the radiologist fee and give them a better deal," Shoup says.
Wooster started its package price program at the request of an ear/nose/throat practice that wanted to offer competitive prices to members of the Amish community. Physician leadership is essential to making the program work, Boyes says. "Frankly, I don't believe we would have gotten anesthesiology or pathology on board in the early days of this program if it wasn't for one of their peers asking them to please help them provide a competitive package for the Amish community."
The patient who pays up front wants peace of mind that the financial transaction is over. Delivering on that promise requires good communication between all providers in the package. "You don't want to have slip ups that result in patients walking out of your hospital thinking they've paid everything and then a month later they get a bill because it wasn't registered correctly," Shoup says. "You must make sure that you have your administrative process down pat, that your communication process is effective, and that everybody involved in an encounter knows when a patient should pay a package price."

Emma Stone Says She's Had "Debilitating and Embarrassing" Acne — It Was Digitally Removed From Which Film?
Emma Stone always looks beautiful, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't dealt with her own skin issues.
Emma tells Refinery 29 that she has battled acne growing up, and that she's even had to have her acne digitally removed from films.
"I'm actually pretty interested in skin care, because I had bad hormonal acne when I was 17, and they put me on Accutane for it," the 24-year-old admits. "After two months on the Accutane, I went off of it, and since then, my skin, my mouth, my lips, my eyes are all so dry."
"Then, I had stress acne when I was 20, when I did Easy A, which they kindly video-airbrushed out of the movie," continues Emma, who is currently dating Andrew Garfield, her Amazing Spider-Man co-star. "But I realized how debilitating and embarrassing it can be to have cystic acne. So, I'm really interested in the biology of what makes up acne and how to work on it from the outside, too."
Now, she has a slew of products that she relies on. "For the most part, I use Cetaphil, the bar soap, and then these pads that I get from the dermatologist, and then Elta lotion."
Whatever she uses, it's working — since she looks "amazing"!

The MCNPX numerical code has been used to model the neutron transport in a mirror based fusion-fission reactor. The purpose is to find a principal design of the fission mantle which fits to the neutron source and to calculate the leakage of neutrons through the mantle surface of the fission reactor.The fission reactor part has a cylindrical shape with an outer radius 1.66 m and a 4 m length. The fuel has the isotopic composition of the spent nuclear fuel from PWR after uranium-238 removal. Inside the fission reactor core is a vacuum chamber with a radius 0.5 m containing a 4 m long hot plasma producing fusion neutrons. To sustain the hot ion plasma which is responsible for the fusion neutron production, neutral beam injection is considered.Calculation results for the radial leakage of neutrons through the mantle surface of the fission reactor are presented. These calculations predict that the power released with neutrons from the reactor to outer space would be small and will not exceed the value of 6 kW while the reactor thermal power is 1 GWth.

ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS JOIN TOGETHER TO BLAST PRES. BUSH ON OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING - Mitch Perry
Today in Tallahassee, members of two major environmental organizations came together to unveil a new Television ad to be broadcast in Tampa, Orlando and Washington D.C. that they say sets the record straight about President Bush's support for drilling off the western coast of Florida.
Deb Callahan is the President of the League of Conservation Voters
(roll tape#1 o.q."fuzzy up the facts here")
Joining the League of Conservation Voters at the News Conference in Tallahassee
Were members of the state and National branch of the nascent group, Environment 2004.
That organization released an updated version of its report from a year ago: Destroying An American Treasure: The Bush Environmental Record in Florida. The League of Conservation Voters is one group that is working with Environment2004, who says their mission is concentrating on certain key states where they believe their work could influence local and national elections.
Deb Callahan from the League of Conservation Voters says the update report on the George Bush's environmental record is instructive for those citizens who may not be aware of what the President's policies mean for Florida's environment (roll tape#2 o.q."that people just don't support ")

2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Toledo, OH, May 12, 2015 15:52I like this car a lot. We bought it brand new now has over 110k miles. Problems only had would be changing brakes pad and getting new batteries. The car is dependable not painless. It rides good have SEL V6 the Fusion is in great condition no other mechanical problems. Love how spacious is with lots of room handles excellent in snow including AWD helps around city driving or suburbs. I really like this car a lot still looks like new as first day bought off lot. Since day 1 our Fusion has done us well gets very low maintenance easy driving has nice stuff all inside. Thinking of holding on to this car until runs 200,000 miles was our first Ford product after trading off a little Honda Civic it's a great running car we've ever owned just love her. My family has owned Fords before never had mechanical problems they ran 350,000 miles hope our Fusion will last us until than. Got all oil changes, tires, fluids and all checkups replaced minor parts either at AutoZone or etc., still it's a good looking car being absolutely the best ever at its best.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Lexington, KY, May 11, 2015 22:28Great car I have the SE model. Fusion is a nice looking sporty car before had a '90 Tempo and '99 Contour before buying my 3rd Ford. Never put any repairs into this car runs forever rides decent gets 30 mpg on Lexington roads handles well being bought mines with FWD it's a amazing car. My Fusion SE is Navy blue this car will definitely treat u well although not as good as God but at least know can count yourself having #1 highly dependable car ever as the Fusion.
2014 Ford FusionVisitor, Montrose, MN, April 09, 2015 07:26We bought our Ford Fusion 2014 in September of 2013. Since then we have had to replace the rims on the car because they keep losing their clear coat. We replaced them at 6000 miles and then again at 21,000 miles and now at 40,000 miles the same problem is occurring and they are stating that they can't replace them because the 36,000 mile warranty is up. It has only been 15,000 miles technically on the last set of rims and this should be covered since this is now the 3rd set of rims that have had the same issue. We have kept up on the maintenance of the car, bringing it in on time for all oil changes, tire rotation, warranty work and even replaced the tires through Ford to make sure that we are keeping our car's records with Ford so that there were no questions on our 36,000 mile warranty and our extended warranty.
2006 Ford FusionVisitor, Anchorage, AK, March 20, 2015 12:072006 Ford Fusion SEL 3.0, 6 spd auto. Today, the car turned 254,000 miles. The original engine, but the transmission was replaced at 190,000. Vehicle has power sun/moon roof, ATC air, but cloth seats. All in all, other than the common cheap inside door handles (rt side broke both inside and outside also), this is one fine automobile. This is only the second vehicle I've owned that has gone over 200k on the speedo. Both were Fords. I've never had a GM make it over 160k, or a Chrysler product over 180k before having major problems. Preventative maintenance is what it takes to keep these cars in perfect shape. If you forget to change the oil (fluids) at the right time, you might be creating a time bomb of repair costs down the road. Stay on top of your maintenance and your Fusion will drive until the wheels fall off. One of Ford's bright spots, along with the F150 (aluminum) and the Mustang since 05.
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Richmond, VA, December 22, 2014 23:54I bought my Fusion SE new in '09 put over 130,000 miles with no mechanical problems I love this car. The 4 cyl is peppy came with updated Sirius satellite for 6 months rides smooth and very quick gets good gas mileage 32 mpg. It is comfortable very roomy it handles well with the AWD trunk space is bigger taking long trips. Love my Fusion this was the first Ford ever owned after driving Hondas and Toyotas for a long time decided give Ford a try even loving sync system it's best a nice gorgeous looking car.
2011 Ford FusionVisitor, Bourbonnais, IL, December 16, 2014 15:03This is my second Ford. The first was an explorer that had many wheel bearing problems. Now I have a 2012 Fusion and was just told at the dealer I need a front right wheel bearing. (47000 miles)The mechanic at the dealer told me they have problems because there is a mix of aluminum parts. The Also rides rough over any small bumps.
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Patterson, CA, August 06, 2014 18:45I adore my 2010 Fusion. Bought her used and she is amazing.
2010 Ford Fusionleeedward, Clayton, NC, July 13, 2014 11:51Computer chip controlling throttle went nuts 2 weeks after buying it 4/2013. It took a month of fighting with CarMax Ford and two Ford repair shops to get it fixed. Seems there was a recall in 2013, but prior owner did nothing about it. Check with Ford directly to see if your model has had a recall.The 4cyl. has had the most problems.Rookie
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Wake Forest, NC, June 10, 2014 21:39This car is THE BEST car I've owned in my life. Bought it fairly new in 2008 and just sold it to my 17 yr old son. 114,000 miles and NOT ONE DAY of problems. The 3.0 V6 FLIES down the road...comfort, speed, fast acceleration, etc. Now the sad news...after 5 years of sheer pleasure, my son crashed it into a curb losing control on a left turn and now I'm looking (or rather HE) is looking at a costly repair. We'll know tomorrow.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Huntsville, TX, April 03, 2014 11:29I bought my 2007 Fusion in July 2007. It is a 4 cylinder. Other than regular wear and tear items, batteries, tires and oil changes,I have had very few problems. A $25 part in the AC system went out 3 years ago. Ford claimed this was an 8 hr labor job and wanted almost $1000 to change this $25 part. I found a guy to do it for $250. I now have 140K miles on the car.It still gets about 25 mpg. I plan to keep it as long as possible.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Terra Alta, WV, March 19, 2014 12:17Own a 07 AWD Fusion- was told yesterday that I needed new drive shaft. Have 42,000 miles on it. I am original owner. Have kept well maintained. Very upset about this costly repair. I am going to get in touch with Ford Motor Co. appears from checking online that a lot of other people have had this issue.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Jeffersonville, IN, February 17, 2014 13:32I have been satisfied with this 6 Cyl Automatic Fusion just reach 200,000 miles. I HAVE ENJOYED AND STILL LOVE THIS CARS RIDE. i PICKED IT UP WITH 8k miles for 17.5k. During all that time I had the brake and front rotors & brakes replaced 3 times ( by family $100 each time ) and Installed a Salvage yard AC compressor at 170k miles IN 2012. Now it is Feb 2013. BUT NOW IT IS DECISION TIME .... Check engine light is on and point to Cat., due to a recent minor Oil Ring leak. Should I go with a $5300 + tx quote for a Salvaged yard engine 12k miles ( 6 month wrty ) which will include the 2 Cat converter replaced. (yes this car has 3 Cats but the 3rd one is not vital /monitored. I would by a ford fusion again just which they could get 50 mpg thanks to Obama Gas prices
2011 Ford FusionVisitor, Peoria, AZ, December 28, 2013 14:46I purchased my 2011 Ford Fusion SE new in March 2011 and have been happy with the purchase (it is now December 2013). I previously owned a Lexus and of course the Fusion is not as nice inside as the Lexus. I have not had any problems with the car and have had all of the maintenance performed as scheduled. The cheep interior finishes are really my only complaint. The technology is great (Sync) and I have not had any problems with it. I am sitting at the ford dealer right now getting my 30000 mile service and I would recommend going somewhere other than the dealer for service. I have been disappointed with the prices they charge which is the whole reason I am visiting this sight.
2006 Ford FusionVisitor, Boston, MA, September 30, 2013 05:43I have a 2006 Ford Fusion and I love it. It has 102000 miles on it and has had no problems except my oil pan gasket started leaking. I was quoted $600 to have it fixed. Has anyone else had this problem and doe $600 sound high?
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Canton, MI, March 14, 2013 13:45I was loving my 2010 Fusion and I just passed my 36 months and the problems started. My battery died. My alternator needed to replaced. I cannot believe the timing. I have no warranty now and need to shell out over $500 for the fix :-(.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Whitewater, MT, January 20, 2013 16:54I've owned 2 Fusions and will definitely own a third. Best car a regular mans money can buy. To the guy who had to replace a wheel bearing, I own an auto repair shop and have never replaced a Fusion wheel bearing but I replace many wheel bearings on practically every kind of vehicle out there.
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Newcastle, OK, December 19, 2012 15:09to the guy who called his Fusion the biggest POS ever, a few tips: 1. WHY is it a POS? 2. how was it maintained? 3. what are your driving habits? 4. without any other details, I am forced to assume you are either a juvenile with lots of free time, a giant asshat, possibly a juvenile that happens to be a giant asshat. here's how you write a review: i have an 08 fusion, purchased preowned with 50k. been driving it for 2 years now, and currently at 90k. the only REPAIR i have had to do at this point is to replace my battery. regular maintenance has been done, with oil changes performed every 5k, tires rotated on the same schedule, i have flushed and filled the transmission, flushed and filled the coolant, and at the next oil change, i will replace the spark plugs. i do this because MAINTENANCE is less expensive than REPAIRS. the e.p.a. says to expect 29 mpg on the highway (4cyl automatic) but i acutally average approximately 32.5 mpg on summer blend gas, and 30.7 on winter blend. two years into ownership, and still problem free. very happy with my Fusion.
2006 Ford FusionVisitor, Buford, GA, December 06, 2012 13:15I love my Fusion. But, had to replace left front wheel bearing at 55K and know today 12/6/2012 85K replacing right from wheel bearing. :( I have never owned a car that I had to replace the wheel bearings.
2006 Ford FusionVisitor, Marrero, LA, November 09, 2012 19:082006 ford fusion piece of crap
2009 Ford FusionVisitor, Indianapolis, IN, October 31, 2012 09:01I'm not sure about the other people who ahve written reviews but I bought my 09 fusion two years ago and it had 15k on it. The dealership dropped the price 2k and gave me another 2k on my trade-in and 1987 Ford Probe. I didn't like the car at first the front end looked really ugly but I actaully like it now. The car now has 81k on it (yes I drive a lot)it still gets 26 miles to the gallon city and 32 highway. I replaced the brakes, windshield wipers, replaced the water pump belt and after my exwife crashed it (twice) had it repaire, I haven't had much trouble out of the car to be honest. The engine, transmission and everything else machinical are still strong and the sync is awesome. The only thing I wish is it had the moon roof and spoiler. I would recommend the car to any of the people in my family or friends.
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Baltic, OH, October 28, 2012 22:20I have a 2008 Fusion SE V6. I have had very few problems with the car. It has 93,000 miles on it. I am just now changing the brake pads and rotors. I have had to replace both low beam headlight bulbs which are a pain to do. The battery failed at 92,500 miles. It needs the brake light switch replaced. The cruise control will kick out occasionally because of it. I really like driving the car. It handles very well on curvy roads and in city traffic. Accelerates great. I do have the car serviced at no more than 5,000 miles and use semi-synthetic oil. My wife and I like the car so well that we just purchased her a one owner low mileage 2011 Fusion.
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Plainfield, CT, October 10, 2012 18:35biggest P.O.S. ever.my wife bought this to replace a sienna minivan with 180k on it.think i would have been better off keeping it.put 40k on it and its all done.will never buy american car again.hire some real engineers and build a quality product.
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Simpsonville, SC, September 07, 2012 07:09I bought Fusion in December 2010. Since then I had to go to Fairway Ford Greenville SC (they are great to work with) for recall - turned out good Door handle drivers side broke needed to be replaced Door handle passengers side broke needed to be replaced New battery bought in NC had to wait 2 months to get my money back. Back up light gone out drivers side. Each time I have to go Ford place I have to leave my car and they only transport me back to work so I have to get someone to take me after work to get my car. This is my first time buying car other than Nissan and Toyota and it has not been good. It is real sad 2 year old car falling apart.
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Merrill, WI, August 09, 2012 10:07The heater fan makes an irritating noise, had it fixed and it is now doing it again after the warranty is off. The transmission went out and right after that was fixed the relay went out and the car would not start and that cost us $240.00. Don't feel confident about driving this 2010 Ford Fusion anymore.
2011 Ford Fusionford Fusion UAE, Fort Collins, CO, August 02, 2012 00:11- To start with, I am from the UAE, so the entered zip code is only there because it was requested by the site. - Brakes keeps squaking and jettering despite three times servicing. - The cruse control keeps the car in low gear for a long time causing the engine to over rev. I explained this to maintenance people with no response. Even offered to help working on. - In congested trafic or over speed bumps, the transmission keeps shifting gears prematurly. A very annoying thing. - There is a noise that comes from the heater/ AC zone when reversing the car. - Finally, the 10000 km service cycle is too much and I, as well as other owners, believe that this is going to adversly affect our cars performance in the long run. Ford should put aside maintenance cost saving in the interest of better long run performance of the car even if ford has to increase the initial cost a little.Rookie
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Saint Paul, MN, July 25, 2012 14:28We bought a 2007 Fusion in September 2007. We were just three payments shy of paying this off. We were on vacation when the car acting very strangely on the freeway. We pulled off and started driving slower. At that point we could make the car go faster than 40 mph. We were told by the Ford dealer in Shwanee Mission, Kansas that it would cost $7800 to replace the transmision. They say it is an expensive transmission but nobody we have since talked to has ever heard of a replacement transmission costing this much. We were stuck in a different state with no options but to purchase a new car. If you are having trasmission problems, dump the car now and join us in never buying a Ford again. This the second time in a week that we were robbed by Ford dealers. Never ever again!!!!!
2006 Ford Fusionrpclements, Albuquerque, NM, March 26, 2012 16:49Have owned my 2006 Ford Fusion with V6- Aisin F21 6 speed transmission since new. Taken very good care of it- now less than 64K miles. 2 months ago had issue with hard shift and "bucking" from take off. Only happened like 2 times, my wife explained to me that felt like computer didn't know what gear to go into. Nevertheless, changed transmission fluid even though owners manual didn't suggest until 100k. Thought it fixed but then other day happened again. Been looking online last couple days and been reading up on other stories and TSB reports. Sounds like problem is either with a TCM reflash for update- which i read vehicles built before 9/4/2006 (mine is 10/2005) or with a faulty Valve Body which in my case hope not due to $1400 cost plus install. Well not sure at this point what fix will be but just dropped my car off at Ford dealer for TCM reflash and hoping this $118 fixes my problem. Service advisor checked my car and did have old software so hoping at this point this corrects problem! I'll give an update at later date with my results which hopefully will help someone else that runs into this problem. Have read alot of horror stories from many individuals but my experience had been very positive with my car. Until now never faced any mechanical problems. During my full warranty period only had to return for service right before warranty ran out to replace both rear door handles that had broken. I can't even put into words how much the information I've read lately on this problem has really helped me decide on what direction to move in. My first reaction was got to trade in and get out from under a huge potential problem but then would be facing many more years of payments (got 11 more payments). I've loved my car and didn't want to have to do that but would if i had to. The information I've received gave me a very positive outlook on fixing my car so i can keep as i'd planned for many years. Ok well hopefully this will give someone else hope and I'll update in couple months with my results. Will update sooner if problem happens again. Update: 3-26-12 NO PROBLEMS YET. HOPING FLASHING WORKED. BEEN THINKING ALOT TOO OF HOW MY WIFE DRIVES CAR LOL I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM MYSELF AND WONDER IF HOW SHE DRIVES. I'VE ONLY BEEN DRIVING IT AND ALL GOOD AT THIS POINT.Journeyman
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Reidsville, NC, February 29, 2012 11:43I have an 07 Fusion. I bought this car in 2008 at 9k miles on it from a friend (one time owner). I drove the car for about a year and a half with no problems at all. I drive this car a lot, so I do expect some wear and tear. Since about 09-10 I have probably replaced the bulbs in my rear break lights about 5-7 times. My windshield wipers have been replaced about 4 times. In Oct 2011 I have to have the entire coolant system replaced. My breaks are just now starting to show sign of wear. Currently the issue I am having is my transmission, my car goes in the shop tomorrow because my car will not go above 2nd gear (it's an automatic) and it acts as if it doesn't want to go to 2nd to begin with.. So I was told I need two new solenoids. I have 98k miles on my car right now. Other then all of these issues the car is great.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Tonawanda, NY, January 23, 2012 14:16I HAVE A FORD FUSION 07 SE AWD 62400 MILES. MY CARRIER BEARING WENT BAD ON THE FRONT END OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. HERE'S THE PROBLEM FORD DOSE NOT SELL CARRIER BEARINGS. YOU MUST BUY THE WHOLE DRIVE SHAFT. MY COST $750.00 FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT ONLY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER USED 16 MONTHS AGO. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD 1-800-392-3673 AND REPORTED THIS TO THEM. IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM.
2009 Ford FusionVisitor, Chicago, IL, January 04, 2012 19:40I purchased my Fusion brand new in 2009. The only issue I had is that I had to replace the brakes just last year at under 30,000 miles. The breaks were completely gone to the surprise of my mechanic. I would say just monitor your breaks closely because they are crappy. I have had no other issues to date, and besides that I love my car!
2009 Ford FusionVisitor, Howell, MI, November 05, 2011 19:31Mr. 2008 fusion, If wanting a toyota or honda, you should move there and support their economy too! Sorry for your problems with your fusion but sometimes a bad car does get out to the public or maybe you should evaluate how you drive? People like you who put down american made products make me sick!
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Lexington, NE, October 19, 2011 17:19Bought our 2007 Fussion SEL in Jan. 2011 with 67000 mi. Like it a lot. Gas milage isn't the greatest, new plugs and plug wires may help. I changed frt left wheel bearing costing $106,other than that it's been a great car. We've put about 7,000 miles on so far.
2007 Ford FusionVisitor, Shickshinny, PA, August 20, 2011 12:01We purchased a used 2007 Fusion from a Ford dealer car was purchsed on October of 2010. The car was in storage all winter in the spring the car had to have the PCM replaced all the sparkplugs and the coils. we went on a vacation and the truck light droped down as it is missing a bracket to hold it up and it burned holes in our luggade. The purformance is good now but our bags are ruined.
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Fairfield, OH, April 18, 2011 20:14I purchased this car in 2008 and was well pleased until I went back to the dealer with problems. The 2.3 engine is noisy. I can hear it knock every now and then. it uses antifreeze and needs to be checked every oil change and it only has 38000 miles on it. I didn't know it was using antifreeze until I quite going to the dealer for service. The suspension knocks when you hit a bump. The door seals sound like I have a window down, The transmission when cold doesn't want to shift out of first the first time it shifts, after that it seems okay. I wouldn't have this issues if I had purchased a Honda or a Toyota. I noticed the ford dealer torquing my wheel down to tight and then trying to get me for a break job since the brakes are not covered under the warranty. I blamed it on the mechanic and they re-torqued the lugs and it was all good. This is the last time I spend my hard earned money for rattle trap. Good luck suckers. Trade it in at 36000 miles and run.
2008 Ford FusionVisitor, Burlington, MA, August 22, 2010 14:57great car 2.3 l all you ever need
2007 Ford Fusionpaulwilson05, Keller, TX, August 02, 2010 16:00Good looking car. Brakes are OK but should be a little stronger. Perhaps a bleed and ceramics will be done to mine. Nothing awful besides the water-pump starting to wobble (replaced). I think the A/C could be much better. Overall a good car to commute or take friends places. Its a multi-tasker as well. My rear seats fold down and I'm able to fit a mountain bike in and close the trunk.Enthusiast
2009 Ford FusionVisitor, Pittsfield, MA, June 22, 2010 19:16What a great car. Both good lookin and sporty as well as powerful. Ours has the 3.0 v6 and keeps up with an audi a4. kids fit nice with 2 carseats in rear and enough room for a adult to comfortably sit in the back to. soud system could be tweeked a bit. but overall i would buy another just to have but maybe an sel.
2010 Ford FusionVisitor, Utica, MI, May 12, 2010 18:37Just purchased a Ford Fusion two weeks ago. The first day of ownership I took a trip across town, about 45 miles. After 30 min. of eway speed a trouble light comes on, a wrench symbol. Turns out it's a transmission problem, trouble codes P1744 & P0741. Now my car has been at the dealer for a week. They say it's the torque converter. What a new car experience, 280 miles and now I get to watch them tear my trans apart.
2008 Ford FusionTeacherBill, Santa Monica, CA, April 10, 2009 20:47Lifetime Ford person. Gave my third Taurus to my wife, bought the Fusion just last week--used. Still on a "honeymoon." Love it so far. Please advise if I should be aware of any special problems.Enthusiast
2009 Ford Fusionbdazzled4u, Jackson, MS, April 08, 2009 15:00I have had the car for a month and I just adore it. The only fault I have are the sensors go off when Im waiting at the red light and a car is too close and they just sit there. But overall the 2009 Ford Fusion 6cyl is a great vehicle.Rookie
2006 Ford Fusionallfordman, Wilkes Barre, PA, March 27, 2009 16:14We purchased this car used with about 50,000 miles on it. We chose it for the amount of interior room and excellent fuel economy. We get 20+ MPG around town and 30MPG on the highway (with 4 of us and a trunk full of luggage with the A/C on!) The trunk space is great but the downfall is they raised the deck height and the third brake light often obstructs your view of a car immediately behind you. The car has four wheel disc brakes that stop great, ours has the 4cylinder 2.3L engine, which has plenty of power and great economy, and the automatic transmission, which does a great job of balancing needed power with economy. The heating and A/C work quite well, but it seems that the low fan speed is still a bit high and we sometimes find ourselves turning the fan off and on several times to keep it comfortable when there isn't a need for full heat or A/C. The car is good looking, easy and economical to service, and very roomy! I would strongly recommend this car!Enthusiast

Conference USA defections don't deter Old Dominion's commitment
Buyer's remorse for Conference USA? Not an ounce, Old Dominion athletic director Wood Selig said, after East Carolina announced that its football program would join the Big East Conference and Tulane will join the Big East for all sports. "It's nice to have East Carolina in the league," Selig said Tuesday, "but we didn't join just because of East Carolina. That wasn't our overwhelming, compelling drive to get into Conference USA. "It's a league that has great academic institutions in Rice and Tulane and Tulsa. It's a league that has great TV exposure, with ESPN and Fox and CBS College Sports (now called CBS Sports Network). It's a league that has considerably more upside revenue potential. It's a league with high national brand awareness, and it's a league that gives us a really strong upgrade for the overwhelming majority of our programs." Tulane will join the Big East as a full member in 2014, while ECU's football program joins in 2014 as well. ECU football's departure effectively ends the school's membership in Conference USA, since league bylaws stipulate that a school must be an FBS member in C-USA or have applied for that status in order to be in C-USA in other sports. The Big East moved to bolstered membership after losing Rutgers to the Big Ten. Connecticut and Louisville, now in the Big East, are believed to be on the short list of schools to replace Maryland in the ACC. Boise State and San Diego State might reconsider their commitment to the Big East, in the wake of recent movement nationally. The Big East raided C-USA for its most recent additions: Memphis, Houston, Central Florida and SMU. "In today's world of college athletics," Selig said, "you have to be prepared to have a fluid conference arrangement, which is unfortunate for everyone — not just ODU and Conference USA, but it's unfortunate for fans and unfortunate for student-athletes." When ODU accepted an invitation to join Conference USA last May — the driving force was as a Football Bowl Subdivision home for its football program — the league had 14 schools. Tulane's and ECU football's departure leave C-USA with 12 football-only members, beginning in 2013. Holdovers are Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, Texas El Paso, Marshall and Tulsa. New members are ODU, Charlotte, North Texas, Florida International, Louisiana Tech and Texas San Antonio. Charlotte and UTSA field startup football programs. East Carolina provided a regional rival in far-flung Conference USA. The Pirates and ODU even agreed to begin their football rivalry a year early. The two will meet next season in Greenville, N.C., as the Monarchs transition to FBS. Upon confirming East Carolina's football departure from C-USA, Selig said that one of his first calls would be to Pirates athletic director Terry Holland, who strongly advocated for the Monarchs in the realignment process. "We've thought the competition between our two schools in football was a good idea," Selig said. "It's still a good idea, whether it's a Conference USA game or a non-conference, Big East-vs.-Conference USA game, so let's get a six-, eight-, 10-year deal put together so we can preserve what we both felt had value, and that was competition between our respective institutions." more.../span>

George Mason to remain in CAA; no decision yet from VCU
George Mason's decision to remain in the Colonial Athletic Association provides a boost to the league, which now awaits word from VCU and Old Dominion about their plans. Mason athletic director Tom O'Connor called CAA commissioner Tom Yeager late Friday morning to tell him that the Patriots would not jump to the Atlantic 10 Conference. Instead, one of the CAA's charter members and signature men's basketball programs will stay put for the foreseeable future. "Is this a big step? Yeah," Yeager said Friday afternoon from the conference offices in Richmond. "We saw editorial cartoons and 'Rest in Peace' and doomsday scenarios circulating around here. For the time being, this is a big step forward and lets us get back to work." Indeed, the CAA's very existence came into question in recent weeks, as George Mason, VCU and Old Dominion, three of the league's anchor programs, considered other conference options. The departure of all three might have crippled the league and forced other schools to seek new homes. VCU has yet to announce whether it will join the Atlantic 10, while Old Dominion weighs the possibility of jumping to Conference USA. ODU's decision is tied to ambitions for its football program and windows of opportunity to join a Football Bowl Subdivision league that also will provide a home for most of its other sports. VCU and George Mason do not field football programs, and their decisions were and are tied to giving their men's basketball programs the best competition and avenues toward the NCAA tournament, balanced against the benefits of remaining where they are. "I can appreciate, and always have, the need that universities have to explore options," Yeager said. "VCU and ODU have every right to go through the same process and analysis. We hope that they come to a conclusion soon. We've all been incredibly energized by what we've been able to accomplish in recent years, and this has been a big distraction to doing things like launching our digital networks and everything else." O'Connor told the Washington Post that, "We felt it was in our best interests to stay," citing the CAA's history and geographic strength. "They did a very thorough analysis, pros and cons," Yeager said. "When they finished, it was really a simple thing. They concluded that all things considered, the CAA was the best place for them to be as a university, and they looked forward to continue the upward growth trends we've had in the league." Yeager, the only commissioner the CAA has ever had, said that he has been in contact with officials at VCU and ODU. VCU's Board of Visitors held meetings Friday, and university president Michael Rao said a conference decision can be expected "in the next couple of weeks." Rao said the topic was discussed in the closed session. more.../span>

June 13, 2007
WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy Cross men's and women's rowing team have announced their team award winners for the 2006-2007 season. Seniors Delia Rissmiller (Belmont, Mass.) and Abigail Scully (Andover, Mass.) have received the Crusader Award, senior Thomas Meehan (Ambler, Pa.) earned the Chick Award, and senior Elle Carolan (Wayne, Pa.) took home the Coxswain's Award.
Rissmiller shares the Crusader Award, given to the rower who truly dedicates themselves to the sport and who truly embodies the Crusader spirit. A 2003 graduate of the Brooks School, Rissmiller competed on the soccer, ice hockey and lacrosse teams during her tenure and was captain of the soccer team her senior year. She joined the rowing team as a novice during her freshman year and worked her way onto the varsity squad. Despite spending her junior year in Spain, Rissmiller earned a spot in the women's varsity eight for the 2007 New England Championship, where the boat made the grand final, and the ECAC Regatta. While she has no definite plans for the future, she is excited to be part of the 2007 graduating class.
Scully also shares the Crusader Award, given to the rower who truly dedicates themselves to the sport and who truly embodies the Crusader spirit. Also a 2003 graduate of the Brooks School, Scully rowed competitively for four years and was given the Katherine V. Liddle Crew Prize during her junior year in 2002. She joined the rowing team at Holy Cross during her sophomore year, and was part of the lightweight eight that rowed at the Head of the Charles in 2006. Scully was part of the women's third varsity eight that rowed their way to an undefeated regular season, and a first place finish at the New England Championships in 2007. Scully graduated with a degree in Political Science, and was named to the Dean's List during both semesters of her senior year. She plans to live and work in Boston next year.
Meehan receives the Chick Award, honoring 1970 Holy Cross graduate Larry Chick, and recognizing the person who stands out on the team as going above and beyond everyone's expectations. In 2005, Meehan won a bronze medal for the men's lightweight eight at ECACs, and in 2006 won a gold medal for the men's second varsity eight and men's lightweight eight at the Patriot Challenge. The same year, he was part of the men's second varsity eight that finished second at the New England Rowing Championship. In 2006 and 2007, Meehan was part of the men's second varsity eight that was invited to and competed at the Eastern Sprints and the IRA National Regatta. Post graduation, Meehan will be working for Medical Information Technology, Inc., in Westwood, Mass., as a Client Training Specialist.
Carolan was given the Coxswain's Award, an award open to all varsity coxswains, honoring the most outstanding coxswain on the team. A 2003 graduate of the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur in 2003, Carolan was named All-State, All-Inter AC and All-Main Line in cross country and track. A two-time member of the Pennsylvania Athletic Club (Penn AC), she has just recently accepted an invitation to cox for the Vesper Women's Rowing Club in Philadelphia. In 2006, Carolan was the coxswain for the men's lightweight eight that finished second at New Englands and fourth at the ECAC National Regatta. The same boat placed 11th at Eastern Sprints and competed at the IRA National Regatta. This past year, she was part of the men's varsity eight that placed 14th in nation at the EARC Sprints. Carolan was also a Philadelphia Marathon finisher and a Boston Marathon qualifier. Since graduation, Carolan has plans cox for the Vesper Boat club and continue running.
