By Joseph Spector, Albany Bureau Chief
ALBANY -- Former Comptroller Alan Hevesi was granted parole today after serving more than a year in jail in a massive pay-to-play scandal involving the state's pension fund, the state Department of Corrections said.
A state Parole board on Wednesday approved Hevesi's second request for parole. He will be released by Dec. 19. He will be on parole until April 2015.
He was sentenced in April 2011 to one to four years in state prison, and he's been serving time at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Oneida County..
Hevesi, 72, the Democratic comptroller from 2003 through 2006, was hit with the maximum sentence for his involvement in a kickback scheme while in office.
He was re-elected in 2006, but resigned before taking office. Thomas DiNapoli, then a state assemblyman from Long Island, was appointed to the seat in 2007, and DiNapoli won re-election in 2010.
While in prison, the former Comptroller apparently liked to flip around the dial during his 19-month prison term-- and pump up the volume.
So much so that he was written up for misbehavior on Aug. 9 for arguing with a prison guard after he was told to turn down the TV and stop changing the channels.
"Upon completing my security rounds, I was approached by inmate Hevesi, A., who raised his voice in a loud manner, stating to me, 'He can change the channels and the TV was not loud.' I gave the inmate a direct order to lower his voice and that he is to leave the TV alone," the report reads.
Hevesi apparently had an history of defiant television viewing.
"Inmate Hevesi has been warned numerous times about changing the TV channels and turning up the TV volume without permission from the officers," the report concludes.
The state said it was the only misbehavior report Hevesi received since he went into prison in April 2011.
Hevesi will soon be able to channel surf as much as he wants and listen to it at any decibel level. He's to be released on parole by Dec. 19.
And he's continue to get his taxpayer-funded pension: $105,000 a year

Protecting your computer
You must avoid falling for email scams (called phishing), detect and remove unwanted malware (calledspyware), prevent (or remove) virus infections and stop hackers from turning your machine into azombie slave by applying Microsoft patches on a regular basis.
There are four categories of protection that you should implement to protect and clean your computer
Virus Protection
Spyware Detection and Removal
You should use at least two of anti-spyware programs. Often, one will detect a problem that another fails to detect. A good suggestion is to use Windows Defender (configured automatically in Windows 7) plus one other tool. A few are listed below:
Microsoft Windows Updates
Software FireWalls
There are two types of firewalls— software and hardware. Although some people will run than one firewall, only one is necessary. We will talk about software firewalls here since hardware firewalls are usually built into your network infrastrure by default

Sorry Loki, Thor has a new batch of enemies -- and they look brutal!
Warning: Spoiler-y images below.
The first set photos of the Dark Elves from "Thor: The Dark World" surfaced earlier today as shooting for the superhero sequel continues this week in London.
We're not 100% positive, but it looks like the elf to the right may actually the Norse god's next big nemesis, Malekith the Accursed, played by Christopher Eccleston.
According to the official synopsis of the film, Makelith and his army come to Earth to "plunge the universe back into darkness" and is described as an "enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand."
The movie will see Thor (Chris Hemsworth) reuniting with Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and "force him to sacrifice everything to save us all" ... whatever that means.
Check out more sneak peek pics above.
"Thor: The Dark World" opens November 8, 2013.

MASSENA - U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced on Monday that Cape Air has been selected for a new, two-year contract for service at Massena International Airport, through the federal Essential Air Service program.
Cape Air will provide three daily one-stop round trips to Boston Logan International Airport via Albany International Airport starting April 1, 2013, through 2015.Cape Air currently provides such service, and this renewal was not certain.
EAS grants subsidize air service to and from small airports throughout the United States. They serve to ensure residents and businesses in these cities have air travel options by providing funding to airlines and airports to keep their flights running.
Having local and affordable air service in your region shouldnt be a special privilege reserved for a lucky few, and Cape Airs new contract at Massena International Airport will bring more opportunities for St. Lawrence and north county residents and business people – arriving and leaving the area – to connect to flights across the nation, Schumer said in a news release announcing the contract. There is no question about it - access to air travel is good for businesses, good for jobs, and good for the financial health of the community, and Im pleased to announce that service from Massena to Boston will continue through 2015.
The Essential Air Service program was developed after the airline industry was deregulated in 1978. Deregulation gave airlines the freedom to decide which markets to serve and how much to charge for that service.This led to a scarcity of air service in many rural communities across the country where operating costs were higher and populations were smaller and less dense.
The EAS program was put in to place to guarantee air service to these underserved communities. EAS provides subsidies to commuter airlines across the country to serve approximately 140 rural communities, including six communities in Upstate New York.
On several occasions, Schumer has fought to defeat a proposals to cut the Essential Air Services program. Six rural airports in New York, as well as more than 100 others across the country, benefit from the federal Essential Air Service program, and would be at serious risk without this funding. Not only does the EAS program provide air services to underserved rural communities, but it is an economic engine in those regions, contributing to the success of local businesses and promoting job creation and growth.

Rating: 4.50 out of 36 votes cast
Love it, too!
Just got the navy/white one and paired it with white skinny jeans. So comfy and stylish! Fits just right, too.
Spokane, WA
Love it!
Thought this was cute in the catalog and was not disappointed when it arrived. It fits perfect.
Richland WA
Too flimsy
I wanted to love this cute tunic but the material is so flimsy I've relegated it to sleepware. I wanted to remove the pockets as they gapped and sagged, but they are sewn in to the seem and it wasn't worth the trouble.
Bailey, CO
Great summer 'uniform'
I love these tunics/dresses! I wear them all summer, usually with leggings or capris. Am looking forward to the 2 new colors so that I will have all 7!
Very cute dress
Liked the pink stripe so much I order the navy stipe. I have worn and it is very comfortable, I have not washed yet. They are a little loose fitting, but in the summer that is nice. The navy I plan to wear with tights in the fall.
Just what I needed to take on my vacation. Love the color and it fits a little loose but I like that. Comfy.
Cape Girardeau, MO
Nice fit, comfortable and washes great. It was perfect for what I wanted.

New Bern, NC
love it
Had to get this in blue,Have the pink already. Getting lots of compliments on it.
Perfect top
Absolutely love it just ordered another color. Launders well and so comfy!
Newport or
Perfect with leggings
I ordered the jade/gray color to go with gray leggings I had. They look perfect together and exactly the length I wanted. I ordered the petite size so it would be a little shorter since I wanted it for leggings and not a dress. Very comfortable and love the big pockets.
Bargain Shopper
Denville, NJ
fun fun fun
I received my tunics/dresses a few days ago and just love them. Though I am a petite, I ordered the misses and I also decided on getting both a medium and a large with the anticipation that one might work better than the other. Both fit nicely (in different ways) and are flattering, and will look great, I know, with the leggings I have on back order. These can be worn days, weekends, on a picnic, and even at church with the right accessories. Great buy
Striped Tunic
Super comfortable. I wore it to work with leggings and got lots of compliments. The XL is a little roomy but I haven't washed it yet.

Love these Tunics!!
I now have 4 colors of this great tunic. I wear it with skinnys or leggings and love the look. It is my go to for comfortable week day or weekend looks. The tunic changes from casual to dressier when you add booties, heels or flats to it and adding a long cardigan or a short jacket also changes the look. I wear them all the time and they are holding up beautifully! I definitely recommend them.

Runs large
Love this shirt, but it seems large. As one review said it flares out, which is a good thing for a tunic, but the 2x (my usual size) was very large. I just ordered 2 colors, both in 1x and am hoping they fit better. This is a shirt you will LIVE IN and could even sleep in. Nice weight...not heavy and not too light weight. Awesome.

Lovely and Comfy
I love this tunic, it's stylish and so comfy. I wear it with leggings. May also use it as a dress with tights. Looks good on me too.
Color not as pictured
It was great to see that tall was offered in this top. However, the tops all appear to be with white stripes. I ordered the black and it is with dark gray stripes which isn't what I wanted. Top is cute, bit too heavy for warm spring days.
Oklahoma City, OK
Nice Tunic
I ordered the jade and purple tunics. My husband, who is oblivious to what I wear, actually exclaimed, "Wow, that is really cute" when I wore the purple one with some grey Madden leggings. I think this is a great look for someone who is pear shaped. I am 5'6" and weigh 180. The XL is very slimming on me. I would like the fabric to be slightly heftier, but overall I like this tunic.
Jacksonville FL
too cute
Very cute and flattering. I wear it with leggings and it covers all the scary areas, and as a mini dress it is not too short. I will be getting another color as many other tunic length tops out there seem to be too short. Thank you!

Comfort and Cute
I own this in two colors (black and red). The 'red' is more of dark pink. Fit is fantastic (true to size), very comfortable, no ironing and washes well. Wish this came in more colors!
Love this tunic
I now own all 4 colors. So comfortable, and my husband loves this tunic on me. A real WINNER! Thank you Chadwick's for your quality of merchandise, and great sales.

scoopneck tunic
This is the kind of tunic that I would love to wear. Why doesn't it come in plus sizes? All the cute stuff comes in just regular sizes but the taller women get "old lady" stuff!
butler, pa
Not as pictured
I really like this dress, but it is not as pictured. Looks like a straight dress, but it flares out at the bottom and there are two large pockets that tend to make it flare out more. I was disappointed with the pockets and the flare, but like the rest of the dress and will work with it. I am STILL waiting for the leggins to go with it. Can't wear one without the other.
Buckingham, Pa
Just got this in the navy/white and it is very cute as a dress or with jeans or as shown with white leggings.Im back to get it in the pink lemonade.Oh you can't tell but it has pockets at the hem very cute.
Love this tunic!
I ordered this in the navy/white and wore it for the first time last week. I received so many compliments. Washes well, fits great, and super comfortable. I originally bought it to wear with leggings but tried it with a pair of jeans, and I loved it. In fact, I liked it so much I'm back to buy it in the pink lemonade. This is a winner!!
York, PA
Flattering and adorable
This is incredibly cute on and very flattering. We live on the lake and it's very "beachy". I have gotten tons of compliments on it.

CANTON Eight months before Election Day, the race for St. Lawrence Countys top prosecutor is under way.
Former St. Lawrence County Public Defender Mary E. Rain, a Republican, confirmed Tuesday that she plans to run for the post against two-term Democratic incumbent Nicole M. Duvé, who in turn told the Times that she absolutely plans to seek a third term.
Meanwhile, a third contender on the GOP side is mulling a run, county Republican Chairman Thomas L. Jenison said Tuesday. He declined to identify the individual or gender, saying only that the prospective candidate is a St. Lawrence County resident.
Im still waiting to find out if that person is interested in running, Mr. Jenison said, adding that public confirmation of Ms. Rains intentions earlier than expected could put some pressure on that Republican to make a decision.
Ms. Rain plans to make a public announcement at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at The Place, 1612 Ford St., Ogdensburg. Word began to spread sooner after she sent out invitations to the event on the social networking site Facebook.
Ms. Duvé said she has not yet made plans for a public event to announce her reelection bid.
Nicole is the DA now, and hopefully she will be after November, county Democratic Party Chairman Mark J. Bellardini said Tuesday.
Mr. Bellardini said he really has no idea whether other Democrats might be interested in the post. We have a DA right now. Other than that, thats all I can say.
Ms. Duvé, 47, is a graduate of SUNY Potsdam and Albany Law School of Union University. She has practiced law since 1991, and has worked as an assistant district attorney and assistant public defender as well as court attorney for Franklin County Judge Robert G. Main Jr., Malone.
She was Potsdam town justice from November 1998 until 2005, when she resigned to run for district attorney.
Ms. Rain, 50, is a graduate of SUNY Oswego and the Dickinson School of Law of Penn State University. She has worked as a police officer, an assistant district attorney in Oswego, Monroe, Cortland and Jefferson counties and has maintained a private practice.
Ms. Rain was St. Lawrence Countys chief public defender from June 2009 to October 2011, when she resigned the post, saying that she had been treading water amid heavy workload.
Ms. Rain went on paid administrative leave in September 2009 at the same time the county was reviewing a position change made in March that stripped her of the operational oversight of her office.
Ms. Rain said Tuesday that her departure resulted in her having a different vision for the office than the county, but the split was not rancorous.
Ms. Rain said her legal and law enforcement background will make her well suited to the DAs office. She also said that she has been encouraged to run for the job by members of the local law-enforcement community although she declined to provide names many of whom she said feel, as she does, that Ms. Duvés office has not been as cooperative with police agencies as it should be.
They dont have a working relationship with the DAs office, which is a foreign concept to me, said Ms. Rain, who stressed the importance of proper training for law-enforcement agencies on legal issues, as well as the importance of DAs office staff being present at scenes when needed.
Ms. Duve disagreed that her office has not cooperated with police.
I have an open-door policy with law-enforcement, Ms. Duvé said, and has since she was first elected.
I dont know what contingent of law enforcement she may be referring to, but I am personally not aware of anyone who that might be.
As well, Ms. Duvé said her office has always been available to attend any crime scene, and she herself has been present at several homicide investigations.
Ms. Rain criticized Ms. Duvé and her staff for a record of letting cases be dismissed due to speedy-trial law violations and faulty presentations before grand juries as well as of other procedural mistakes owing, in part, to staffers who may lack proper training. She suggested Ms. Duves office seems to suffer from more such issues than in other, comparably-sized counties.
Ms. Duve said she would not respond tobroad-stroke accusations without details about specific cases to which Ms. Rain might be referring.
I would have to know what in particular she is talking about, Ms. Duvé replied. Every matter is different.
She praised her staff of seven as all being hard-working, extremely dedicated people.
I dont think any prosecutors office is immune from stresses related to a lack of resources, Ms. Duvé said.

Tim Tulon has been named Byron Generating Station site vice president. Tulon replaces Dan Enright, who will become site vice president at the company's Braidwood Generating Station.
BYRON, Ill. – Tim Tulon has been named Byron Generating Station site vice president. Tulon replaces Dan Enright, who will become site vice president at the company's Braidwood Generating Station.
"It is a pleasure to return to the plant I worked at in the 1980s and 90s, and I am eager to help Byron Station continue on its path of excellence as one of the top producing plants in the country," said Tulon, who lived in Rockford for more than 15 years during his previous stint at Byron. "The commitment to safety runs deep here and the plant's efficiency is among the elite in the United States.
"I am looking forward to meeting and working with our neighbors and local officials in and around the Byron Station area."
Tulon's primary responsibility will be to oversee the safe and reliable operation of Byron Station and to ensure the public is kept informed of the operation of the plant. Tulon has more than 34 years of experience in management and operational support of nuclear stations, serving most recently as the vice president, Midwest Operations for Exelon Nuclear at the company's headquarters in Warrenville, Ill.
Before that post, Tulon held the title of site vice president at Braidwood and Quad Cities stations. In his previous stint at Byron Station, Tulon held the positions of maintenance manager and operations manager and also held a Senior Reactor Operator's license at Byron from 1983-1990.
Tulon holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Valparaiso University.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Creating buttons
You can create buttons that can cause an event to occur. For example, a user can click an item in a drop-down list, and click a button to send the information to the content server.
In the BlackBerry® Composer, buttons are complex objects that are made up of one or more objects. For example, a button might be made up of a rectangle and text. Buttons have four states. The Animation key editor displays a timeline for each button state. The states for buttons are identified by an icon ordered as follows, from left to right:
|Initial State: the initial appearance of the button
|On Focus In: the button when it has focus
|On Focus Out: the button when it does not have focus
|On Activate: the button when the user clicks it
You can change the look and feel for each state. For example, you can use a brighter color for the On Focus In state to provide a visual highlight when the button has focus.
The timeline for each state is independent of the main project timeline, so you can animate or add actions to each state. For example, you might want to animate the button in the On Activate state to make the button appear to be pressed when the user clicks on it.
When you create a button, the workspace is in editing mode. Only the component objects that make up the button are visible on the canvas. In editing mode, you can access each of the button states on the Animation key editor.

The vote on Article 409 and councilor Fran Berting's response to the council's action should not be taken lightly by residence of Los Alamos County. Councilor Berting's response on limiting citizen voting should be called into question as to how in touch she is with those she represents.
Stating that "when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of how we do this, it becomes almost impossible." That statement indicates she has no interest in allowing the voters to decide the outcome of county projects. It seems the majority of the council feels the same. Other questionable council decisions call into question whether or not they have the community's best interest in mind.
It seems the council is simply out of control and looking to place their names on as many commemorative plaques as they can.
An example is the White Rock Visitor's Center where the original contract was for $2,646,000 only to spike up another $1,127,697.
Would the voters have approved such a large increase? Now we're looking at a $16 million Civic Center for a town of 6,000 residents.
Are these two projects necessary or are they going to become buildings the Councilors can drive by and compliment themselves on job well done.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
While early season success is something the Carbon High Cross Country teams would like, head coach Telisse Allen wants the team focusing on the long term goals.
In three meets this season, Allen said the boys and girls teams have shown improvement by cutting down on times during competition.
"We've got a very young team this season," she explained.
During the team's first region meet at the Highland Invitational on Aug. 24, junior Garrett Marsing was the only member of the cross country team to participate. He took 27th place overall at the event with a time of 16.06 in the three mile run. The meet brought out a number of 5A teams and bigger squads, Allen said.
Allen said because of the team's youth, she wanted them to continue practicing and training to prepare for the long haul of the season.
The following day at the grass relays in American Fork, Allen had the full boys and girls teams competing at the unique event which includes a relay and a one-mile grass loop with hay bails for the runners to leap over.
Marsing finished with the fastest time for region schools during the meet with a time of 10.38. Among other notable finishes, Rachel Goodrich and Diana Olsen took second and third respectively among region runners.
Carbon High traveled to Spanish Fork last Tuesday and got a good look at their region opponents as well as getting accustomed to the place where the region meet will be held in October.
Despite temperatures on the course reaching 97 degrees, the girls team took second place behind Spanish Fork. Allen said the boy's team saw their top five runners finish the meet with times all under 20 minutes for the three mile run.
Allen said the early season meets have given the teams an idea of what they are up against in region competition.
"We've got six weeks until the region meet to get better and focus on improving times," she said.
The team traveled to Juab on Monday for a meet and will travel to Murray on Friday for another meet.

It Starts With Art
Aug. 16, 2012
By Elizabeth Chapin
Local educators and Cal State Fullerton faculty members participate in a visual art workshop to learn how to incorporate visual arts into K-12 curriculum.
State budget cuts have jeopardized arts education in California's K-12 schools. As an example, the number of students enrolled in music programs has been cut in half over the past decade, according to the California Department of Education. Art is critical to the communication, problem-solving and motor skill development in young children. When kids continue the arts into middle and high school, studies show their academic achievement improves in all areas, including math and science.
The CSU is training future teachers to incorporate the arts into the classroom, preparing students for the expectations of the 21st Century workforce, which includes the ability to innovate, communicate and collaborate. Even as budgets are cut, many communities are finding ways to keep art in school curriculums, and partnering with their local CSU to provide volunteers, donations and grants to help keep arts in schools. Of of those programs, the SchoolsFirst Center for Creativity and Critical Thinking in Schools, is based at CSU Fullerton's College of Education.
"When K-12 budgets are cut, visual art, music, theater and dance are often the first thing to go," said Teresa Crawford, the program's director. "The focus on standardized testing has taken away from important arts enrichment."
The school helps train current and future teachers to become competent in the arts. Volunteers, faculty and CSUF education students help them integrate art into lesson plans for other subjects. Crawford says that many regular classroom teachers do not have the time to teach the arts or are not trained in the subjects.
"We build a relationship with the teachers in the community," Crawford said, "working with them for a year to integrate the curriculum, track their progress, and get feedback."
Crawford says the feedback has shown that when kids start with art, their level of achievement is higher.
"For example, when a second-grader draws a picture of a plant, he or she becomes more interested and willing to learn about plants," Crawford said. "Referring to a finished piece of artwork helps the child in a new and meaningful way, because he or she just put in the time and effort to create something that is their own."
The whole idea that art integration increases competency in a variety of subjects, including science and mathematics, is gaining momentum. CSUF's College of Education has even decided to start an arts-rich block, or cohort, of students. That particular group of students focuses more on integrating arts into curriculum that is used when they are placed in the classroom as teaching assistants.
The new approaches to teaching fundamental subjects are helping to keep California innovative. To see other ways the center and CSUF are infusing arts, science and technology in the classroom, visit http://ed.fullerton.edu/CCCTS/.

History of Our Day Trips Guide
After our first child was born in 2001 my wife and I were always looking for something to do or somewhere to go on the weekends. Sometimes we just got in the car and drove in whatever direction the car was pointed. Sometimes we ran into something really interesting and sometimes we got stuck on an old muddy road. We never really had a plan we just drove around until we ran in to something interesting. Usually by the time we found a place it was time to go home. Sometimes we didn't have time to enjoy our discovery.
It didn't take me long to understand that we needed a plan. I started looking up information in travel books, maps and brochures. It usually took a few days to a couple of weeks to receive information from local attractions and city tourism departments so I'd have to order ahead of time. I'm a very spontaneous person so as you might imagine this was a little frustrating. I looked around on this new thing called the Internet. But couldn't find all that much information.
Most people today will not remember that the Internet was in it's infancy in the early 2000s. In those days there wasn't a real good way to look up much of anything. So we decided to do something about it. We started writing about our trips and posting them online. We asked locals to tell their stories and we posted a few images here and there. As thing progressed thousands of folks started to use the information we gathered to plan their own weekend trips. Today we are the top ranked Day Trips destination guide for Texas.
The last 11 years has been great. Today we work closely with local tourism departments all across the state to deliver the most current and up to-date information on things to do, events, attractions, restaurants and all sorts of things to do in each of these cities and towns. We even have information for towns that no longer exist.
Our Texas daytrip section is designed to make it easy to find the information quickly. The faster you get the information the faster you can get on the road. We hope you enjoy your Texas daytrip and we look forward to hearing about it on our Facebook page.
We hope all of our hard work over the years helps you explore Texas with your family. This is our family business and if we can do anything to improve it we sure would like to hear from you.

As breathtaking today as when it was completed, Hoover Dam ranks among America's greatest achievements. The story of its conception, design, and construction is the story of the United States at a unique moment in history: when facing both a global economic crisis and the implacable elements of nature, we prevailed.
The United States after Hoover Dam was a different country from the one that began to build it, going from the glorification of individual effort to the value of shared enterprise and communal support. The dam became the physical embodiment of this change. A remote regional construction project was transformed from a Republican afterthought into a New Deal symbol of national pride. Hoover Dam went on to shape not only the American West but the American century.
Michael Hiltzik populates the epic tale of the dam's construction with larger-than-life characters, such as Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt, William Mulholland, and the dam's egomaniacal architect, Frank Crowe. Shedding real light on a one-of-a-kind moment in 20th-century American history, Hiltzik combines exhaustive research, trenchant observation, and a gift for unforgettable storytelling in a book that is bound to become a classic in its genre.
©2010 Michael Hiltzik (P)2010 Tantor
"Astutely conveying the characters of its creators, Hiltzik marvelously captures the times of the Hoover Dam." (Booklist)
"A Political Biography of the Dam"
"Colossus" is Michael Hiltzik's contribution to the public works literature including - for example - David McCullough's "The Great Bridge" and "The Path Between the Seas" along with "Golden Gate" by Kevin Star. In this volume Hiltzik details the history of the taming of the Colorado River during the Western Expansion to the building of the Hoover Dam. The political horse trading, engineering, labor problems, and more other surprises than can be listed here are presented. The book offers an amazing window onto the sacrifices made by those who physically built the dam with their sweat, muscle, and sometimes their lives. Desperate men in desperate economic times. This book focuses on the political economic issues to the exclusion of engineering details. So readers expecting another "The Path Between the Seas" might be a little disappointed. This is more a political biography than an engineering biography of the dam. Otherwise, the prose keeps the listener's attention and the reading of Norman Dietz is excellent.
"Good, but far from great"
Mr. Hiltzik could have used a really aggressive editor on this one. I love a good backstory, but I have a limit when it comes to running down so many rabbit trails. Also, Norman Dietz's narration is--and I hate to be harsh, but this is the truth--somewhat grandfatherly sounding. A subject matter this interesting should have made for a real "page-turner." As it is, I literally have to listen in short bursts to keep from becoming too frustrated.
I am a professional photographer, a motorcyclist, and an avid reader and listener. I enjoy history, business books and
"Detialed but interesting. a good listen."
I had this in my wish list for almost a year before downloading it, I should have done it sooner. This was a detailed account of not only the building of the dam but of the reasons for it. A history of the imperial valley of California starts the book out and then the appropriation of money that took years in Congress. the story also talks about president Hover, who had little to do with the dams creation but whose name was put on it. Stories of how Hover rewrote the way events transpired in his memoirs to make himself look better was a little surprising.
The story of the construction was well don and you could picture the men at work and almost feel the heat. There is even a story of a dog who became the dams mascot that was very touching.
This was a vary detailed book and I think you need a real interest in the subject to enjoy it fully.
It was a good listen, the narration was good and fit the subject. The next time I visit the dam I shall listen to this again.
"I loved this book"
I enjoyed every word of this book. Whether you are interested in the Hoover Dam, dams, engineering, landscapes, archeology, the West, architecture, politics, history, concrete, water rights, art, labor, photography, business, contracting, land management, pioneering, rags to riches stories, etc., there is something in this book for you. The extensive research is tied together into a great story that is riveting throughout. The internet is full of photographs of the Hoover Dam construction to see while you are listening.
"The dam that set the precedent for civil engineers"
Having lived several decades in Southern California and in and around Arizona, as well as being familiar with Nevada, I loved listening to this book. I can directly relate to many of the locations described. I continue to marvel at the tenacity of engineers like Frank Crowe. Of course in today's world many of the concepts and rules of engagement in the construction business employed at the Hoover dam site would never have been thought of let alone implemented. The construction of Boulder city, was a magnanimous effort within itself, and then have you get all those people to and from the work site everyday that was a huge effort. The cement plants that were built to support the concrete requirements which are long since gone. The railroad was built to bring equipment and pipe to the site, now long since gone. How do you stop the Colorado River so we can build the dam? The engineers of the Six Companies Corporation, made it look easy, simply carve out diversion tunnels in solid rock and let the River flow in a different direction! I recently met a young civil engineering graduate and ask him if he had ever heard of the Hoover dam, to my surprise he told me that he did study that in engineering school briefly it was part of the curriculum. The PBS channel with the American Experience also has a great video of this project.
I don't write book reports.
"Dam Building"
Whenever I visit Las Vegas, I almost always take a detour to visit the Hoover Dam. It's something that you have to see for yourself. After reading The Great Bridge by David McCullough, I was seeking out other great massive infrastructures such as the Hoover Dam.
Colossus by Michael Hiltzik was disappointing and I had a rough time at finishing the book. Maybe I've been reading too much from David McCullough, but Michael Hiltzik fails at explaining the actual building of the dam. Instead, 90% of the book is about politics and very little engineering of dam building.
I would had learned more at reading the encyclopedia than from the information of this book. Do yourself a favor, go visit the Hoover Dam and take the tour because there is not enough dam building in Colossus.
I wanted to know more about how the concrete cures, blowing up the side of the mountain and so on, but instead I heard about politics . I can't remembered if the author explained the height and the width on the Hoover Dam.
If you are going to write national monuments, write on the subject. Don't tell me the side stories that doesn't relate. If you had a grandfather that helped built the Hoover Dam, I highly doubt that he will tell his grandchildren what went on behind closed doors.
"FDR, Hoover and The New Deal ..."
Using the story of the Hoover Dam as a back drop this book chronicles the early 20th century and places a number of events leading up to and after construction in perspective.
Hiltzik followed this book with a second volume titled "The New Deal" ... the two books fit together perfectly.
Note: The Owyhee Dam & Reservoir is located west of Boise, Idaho but over the Oregon state-line in Eastern Oregon and not in Idaho. The text mistakenly places this project in Idaho.
"Long but excellent"
I loved this book. It's a bit long winded with lots of political information on how it came about but a fascinating account of the Hoover Dam. If you've seen the dam in person you owe it to yourself to understand the effort made in making it happen and the building process. A true feat of engineering of the early 20th century.
"Was expecting more."
After visiting the dam last year, I looked forward to learning more. While I did learn more, I didn't really enjoy this book. If you haven't already read it, check out "The Great Bridge" instead.

No. Country 3, CVU/SBHS 2
SO. BURLINGTON–After falling behind 2-0 in the first period, the North Country girls rallied back, scoring once in the first and twice in the second to get the win and move to 5-3 on the season.
"It was a really good game," said NCU coach Claude Paul. "Several players stepped up for us, including Mikaella (Doran) who showed us some glimpses of what she is capable of and Emilie (Paul) who played lock-down defense while covering one of their top players."
Down 2-0 with time running out in the first, Crystal Moss cut the Rebel Hawk lead to one with 2:10 left on the clock.
"That goal got us back into the game," said Paul.
2:05 into the second Whitney Bernier got the equalizer, and then seven minutes later she put the Falcons ahead to stay.
Bernier finished the game with 2 goals and an assists, while Moss had 1 goal and two assists.
"Whitney and Crystal really kept the offense going for us," said Paul about the duo.
Doran had 22 saves for the Falcons, who will next travel to Essex to take on MMU on Wednesday at 6:45.
CVU 7, No. Country 0
SO. BURLINGTON–In the second half of the Falcons doubleheader, the boys hockey squad found out why CVU is the best team in the state, as they were shut-out for the time this season in their loss to the Redhawks.
"We didn't play well as a team and CVU is the real deal, so if you do not come prepared to play for forty-five minutes you are going to get buried," said NCU coach Ryan Jacobs.
Champlain Valley netted a pair of goals in each of the first two periods, and after goal number five found the back of the net, Jacobs relieved goalie Dana Marsh of his duties and put Chase LaCourse in the net.
The 4-3-1 Falcons were out-shot 26-15 in the contest, and they will look to get back in the win column on Wednesday when they take on the team that sent them home from the play-offs last season, South Burlington. Puck drops in Jay at 6:00.
Lyndon 57, Lake Region 51.
LYNDON CENTER–A 14-5 first quarter by the Lyndon Institute Vikings set the tone, as the Rangers lost for the second straight time to move to 4-2 on the season.
"We had a very good defensive effort in the second half, and even had a shot to win the game with twenty seconds left," said LR coach James Ingalls.
Alex Beauregard had 20 points for Lake Region in the loss.
The Rangers will try to end this skid when they return home on Tuesday to take on Williamstown.
Tip-off is slated for 7:00.

Athletics Banquet Celebrates Blue Demon Accomplishments
June 10, 2013
CHICAGO – All the best about DePaul athletics and the widespread success of its mission was evident at the year-end Athletics Banquet that put a finishing touch on the 2012-13 season.
The Friday night event at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. celebrated an academic year that saw Blue Demon student-athletes rising to new heights while also continuing to excel in the class room.
Five DePaul student-athletes came away with multiple awards. Sophomore Jackie Kasal was named Most Outstanding Performer for both women's cross country and women's outdoor track and field.
"I was surprised when I won both of those awards," said Kasal, who finished first for DePaul in every cross-country race last fall and was a top performer throughout the outdoor track and field season. "I received so much help and support from my coaches.
"Striving my hardest to represent DePaul in every race was my biggest motivation this season. Our women's cross country program really grew up, and this year was a big steppingstone for us. Women's track is a young team, and I'm really excited for our future."
Softball star Samantha Dodd was the Most Outstanding Performer in her sport and also received the Jean Nordberg Memorial Award. Russell Budd was the MOP in golf and was a recipient of the Rev. Edward F. Riley, C.M. Memorial Award.
Soccer goalie Joe Hart won the Rev. John R. Cortelyou Award with the highest grade-point average among DePaul's male student-athletes. He was also a recipient of the Riley Award. Basketball player Edwind McGhee received the Riley Award along with the Strength & Conditioning Award.
Here is a rundown of the 2012-13 award winners.
Rev. John R. Cortelyou, C.M. Award
