At 66 thousand acres, Allegany State Park is the largest New York park outside of the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains. It is also one of the largest in the Northeast.
The park was established in 1921, and was developed more extensively between 1933 and 1942. That's when the Civilian Conservation Corps, a work relief program begun by Franklin Roosevelt, arrived in the park.
They constructed roads and trails, camping sites and picnic areas, and were also responsible for a number of conservation related projects.
Allegany today is a testament to their hard work and the host of stewards who have served the park over the years. For its visitors, it provides a respite from the daily grind, and a haven to appreciate nature's great beauty.
Darrin Bierfeldt is a Park Forester. "Generally the people we run into have been here...they come back year after year. Some people have been here twenty or thirty years."
Cassie Wright is a Park Recreation Specialist. "You find people here no matter what the weather, the temperature, they're out here enjoying nature at its best. There's a ton of things to do for everybody, and everybody loves it. They come to get away from everyday life, they feel that as soon as they enter the park, they're at a different peace level."
With abundant wildlife, incredible scenery and many miles of trails to explore the park, there's never a lack of interesting things to do in Allegany. The hard part may be deciding on which activity to choose.
But no trip to the park can be complete without visiting "Thunder Rocks", a unique rock city that rises up like a monumental surprise in the quiet green forest.
"I think people think of Allegany State Park as more of a forest, and then they get up to Thunder Rocks, and they realize there's these huge rock formations up there," says Wright. "People of all ages climb them, it's a competition to see who can climb every single rock up there. I think just the beauty of seeing these huge rock formations up there in the middle of all those trees is just amazing for people to go and experience."
There's so much to see in Allegany, many people settle in and stay for awhile, which is not a problem here, the park has accommodations to suit any comfort level.
Wright describes the accommodations. "We have full service cottages where everything you would need daily they have, then we also have the shell cabins where there's nothing inside, its beds and a couple shelves, and that's it. We also have the tent and trailer sites."
Of all the seasons, fall may be the most popular at Allegany, and with the leaves about to reach their peak very soon, it's a perfect time to make the short trip to this magnificent park.
Bierfeldt tells 2 The Outdoors, "It's gorgeous, yes, fall is a very popular season, due to the fact that it's hunting season, and the fall foliage. We have a lot of Maple species, Sugar Maple and hard Maple, so that brings out a lot of color."
"Allegany State Park, to anybody, I mean, pictures are wonderful," says Wright. "But as soon as you get here you get to see your own views and it's just completely different from anything else around."

Transmission rebuilt on 2001 powerstroke at 60,000 miles due to diode otherwise was working great until then ....now at 65,000 after rebuild on a 250 4wd shortbed supercab powerstroke.
1. The transmision started out after the rebuild shifting a little funky so I put in some Lucas Transmisison conditioner.....6,000 miles ago on a fresh rebuild. Everyone I talked to said this is doubtful to have cuased any problems!
2. I replaced my leaking up pipes and fixed boost leaks on manifold side and cleaned exhuast back pressure tube and replaced EBP sensor ...MAP sensor and did the NAPA filter MOD with a Muffler delete....
3. The POWERPLANT is running awsome great boost plenty of power........
1. The RPMS are swinging to MAX OVER 3,000 through gears 1-2-3 and seems to hang forever before 4th and overdrive locks in....
2. I flush the tranny installing 4 new gallons of DEX/MERC still slipping but I notice in the morning the tranny seems almost perfect solid lockup RPMS not to high thru the powerband as it shifts gear to gear all the way into 4th and lockup .....
3.After the tranny gets hot say in the 150's it seems to slip just as bad maybe worse 1-2-3 till 4th and lockup just not right and tranny temps are in the 185 one the interstate at 70 MPH 2,000 RPM ...which means a internal temp of 200 with an unloaded truck and that is normal?
OK I take it to the tranny shop that rebuildt it and he hooks up a SNAPON scan tool finds two codes ...lost of power code cuase I changed batterys and OVERBOOST cuase I took of actuator line from solenoid making it overboost after fixing up pipes and boost leaks ....
He then takes it on a test drive where he procedes to pussyfoot the throttle never getting more than 50% on it watched it live on the TPS readout on the snap on screen watched % lockup and temps and shift commander as well truck shift points are normal under light load and light throttle ....NO Sheet.....I kept my mouth shut becuase screaming does nothing so he basically is trying to avoid making the the truck slipp becuase anyone who pulls a 10,000 trailer has to hammer on it to get on the expressway and most do generally hotrod thier truck some ...
SO I leave the guys shop and as I do i tell him I will be in touch if anymore problems pop up lol.....I have 6,000 and 5 months left on the warranty. Which might as well be written on toilet paper the more I deal with this guy he is probabely 55 years old.
So I go to autozone and put in 2 pints of LUCAS SLIP FIX ......BOOM my tranny is maybe 60% better by the next day ....WTF anyway ...the tranny temps drop way down to say an average of 160 when hot and 140 just putting around town WTF this just shows me how F-ed up my tranny is and I am going to drain and flush with new fluid probably tonght or this weekend so when I take it to another local shop for a real test drive and diagnostic to verify what I already know....I will see what this guy says just for sheets and giggles...
I have already been in contact with suncoast-John woods-PATC and they all make great trannys but way outta my budget range and what I need most I will ever do is 60 hp tune and maybe tow a trailer a bit.
I basically have settled on Hudsonville Transmission in Michigan Owner operator is steve and if your not in the 5,000 tranny market this seems to be the place to go if you live around the ohio/tristate area been on the phone 3 seperate times picked his brain and discussed all the options the why's the why nots about big dollar tranny's he will warranty if the truck is chipped as long as the owner does maintenance and doesn't do anything retarded ...like try and tow up a mountain in 100hp tune setting and never back off as tranny temps rise over 220....He is supplying me a FREE loaner vehicle and to drive back home if I want but said job can be done in 2.5 days so I'm doing a thur/fri sat mini vacation in Michigan...never been cousin has a cabin just north of this guys shop what the hay
When I walked into this guys shop it was a mess he seemed basically knowledgeable and I took it at face value but I should have listened to my gut and left at the point I will find out once steve pulls apart tranny if he reused my torque converter and if he put in new frictions and steel like he should have. And god knows what else is dicked up maybe my case is screwed too if so I will sue him.
This will surely turn into a fun thread for all hope people can learn from my 2,000 dollar mistake with this guy....
the saga continues....
ok, where r u?
Give carl at redline diesel a call and see what he can do for you. Him and his wife are really good to work with and with the best pricing I have found around Ohio
Been there done that
I feel your pain man. I had 3 rebuilds in a year with countless complaints and time/money lost. Freaking clowns at aamco. After it was all said and done I could of had a fully built BTS. The only reason I didn't get one the first time was because it was just a bad time and I needed my truck on the road ASAP. If I would've known all the BS I was going to go through I would have just rented another truck and bought the BTS and come out cheaper.
Redline Pricing
Towmaster trannny = 3000.00 installed out the door
single disk torque converter
Heavyduty tranny = 4000.00 out the door
triple disk converter + better clutches
I will keep them in mind I have Hudsonville tranny out of MI willing to do it plus big cooler and change diff oil for like 2300.00 out the door with a good the new ford oem converter on the front end!
redline is 3.5 hour drive for me and hudsonville is 5.0 with a free loaner car...
I know unemployment rate in MI is close to 30% if they build a solid tranny that cheap I'd like to think of it as doing my own mini stimulus ......obaba doesn't seem to be doing much to help things! other than making more do nothing goverment jobs...and taking my taxes
Errrr... BTS and be the last tranny you ever buy for $4000...
So did you get the trans from Hudsonville yet? If so, what are your impressions? and is he using a factory 7.3 or a 6.0 converter? If you have the choice, get the 6.0 installed. Im in in the market for a rebuild and have been looking at this thread and considering going there because im in NW Ohio.
I am leaving on weds 5-26-2010 for michigan and will be dropping off the truck for a quickie WTF test drive and then leaving the truck with him and taking off in a loaner from him no charge ...I know my guy used a cheap parts and maybe did nothing to the clutches inside ect just replaced busted diode with update when Steve tells me this guy screwed me I am going to ask him to lay all the parts out in order and by function starting with torque converter and if he finds anything amiss IE no new clutch packs or worn out parts that were skipped that should have been done ...the rebuilder is in for some unfortunate events ...nuff said I think he used a cheap/wrong torque converter steve said if it is the brand he carries his supplier will take it back and steve will credit whatever the cost is off of my rebuild fee I basicaly just want to know wtf this guy did or didn't do ....
He is using the 6.0 converter and stock OEM parts for the rebuild ....all for 2000.00 I am also having him change DIFF grease and install a big tranny cooler as well ....
I am the guinea pig on this one guys I hope my crappy story has a happy ending and I have found a rebuilder for fellow 7.3 owners who is not charging AN ARM AND A LEG
Will keep you posted job will be done by SAT morning...
Sounds good, because i cant make up my mind with heading there or taking the trip to Arkansas to BTS. The lifetime warranty and bulletproof trans sounds awesome, but the $4300 price tag doesnt. lol

The Spanish Inquisition
James Crabtree is currently in Melbourne Park covering the Australian Open for Tennis Grandstand and is giving you all the scoop directly from the grounds.
By James Crabtree
It is difficult to fathom how hard Nicholas Almagro strikes the ball.
He glares with the eyes of a temperamental bull, but hits with the flowing grace and control of a Matador. An interesting scenario, Almagro uses his racquet as a muleta to tease and finish a pesky ferret.
A method that was proving successful for the first time.
Ferrer has beaten Almagro all twelve times they have played, including 5 losses in finals, a matter that doesn't sit well with Almagro. "I don't want to think about that. He is the No. 4 of the world. He is the favourite. He beat me many times, but many matches were close."
Still, this was only their second meeting at a grand slam, and surprisingly Almagro looked like the player with more experience.
Ferrer was coming up against a player who was in rhythm, a player who controlled the rallies with the crosscourt backhand, then owned it with a backhand down the line.
Only one break of serve separated them in the first and second set, proving how many matches are decided by just a few crucial points.
Still, Ferrer was being rushed and uncharacteristically antagonised, vocalising his disdain and even swiping his racquet down on the court.
Meanwhile Almagro had all but passed the finish line and banked a cheque of $500,000, the guaranteed sum for a grand slam semi-final and $250,000 more than the quarterfinal purse.
Obstinate to the last, Ferrer dug in with Almagro serving for the match two sets to love up and 5-4. Now the tension the favourite had felt was all gone. Subsequently Ferrer edged himself forward on the baseline whilst his opponent attempted to win by pushing the ball.
Suddenly Ferrer was playing his typical game, taking the set and reminding his opponent that he still had to finish the quarter final. Ferrer reflected, "Well, it's very difficult to win [against]Nico [Almagro], no? I think he played better than me in the first set. There was a break. I play bad in myself in one break. In the second, I didn't play good, no? In the third, I feel better with my game. I can play more aggressive."
Ferrer had stolen the momentum that Almagro craved and now everyone expected that the match would go the distance.
Indeed, the fifth set came but only after an unbearably tense fourth set, where again Almagro squandered his chances, twice serving again for the match before losing in the tiebreak. "I think the tiebreak of the fourth set I played very good. And in the fifth, he was cramping, problems with his leg, so it was easier for me," reflected Ferrer to reporters of his 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6, 6-2 victory.
Almagro, nursing a suspected injured groin and wearing an incredulous smile ran out of drive, reeling at the opportunity lost.
The two players hugged afterwards, their level of friendship striking after such destructive circumstances, with Ferrer humble of his achievement, "I try to fight every point, every game. I know all the players in important moments we are nervous. I know that. I try to do my best. Today I was close to lost, sure. But finally I come back, no?"
Ferrer progresses to the semi-final where he will face either Novak Djokovic or Tomas Berdych.
Standout Performances by Federer, Ferrer, Tsonga; Yannick Noah Should be Punished – The Friday Five
by Maud Watson
Say What?!
Despite the enthralling tennis that has been taking place in London, one of the biggest stories of the week has been Yannick Noah's accusations that Spanish athletes are doping. Put bluntly, Noah's comments couldn't have been more idiotic for a multitude of reasons. First, if you're going to accuse someone of doping, have some semblance of concrete evidence, because suggesting that other athletes suddenly appear stronger and able to significantly dominate out of nowhere is not going to cut it. Not to mention, has he taken a look at Tsonga or Monfils? They've no doubt achieved their builds fair and square, but there are many players who don't cut as imposing of a figure as those two. Second, Noah put his own countrymen in an awkward position. Kudos to Llodra and Tsonga who took the high road and apologized to their fellow Spanish competitors for Noah's comments. Finally, Noah's solution to the problem was appalling. Rather than suggesting that authorities clean up the alleged abuse, he supports letting French athletes dope, ignoring the long-term health effects it could have on those athletes. The French Tennis Federation has condemned his comments, but they should also suspend him from any involvement with their Davis and Fed Cup teams as well as any media obligations. He cannot go unpunished.
Standout Performers
There has been more than one upset this week in London, and there have also been some spectacular efforts from three individuals in particular. Props need to be given to Federer. True, he'd probably trade in his results this week for a major title, but he's the only one of the Big Four who's proven there's still plenty left in the tank (and check out his total matches for 2011 vs. the other three, and you'll see he's played nearly as much). Then a big congrats to David Ferrer. He's a bit like Davydenko in that he always seems to be overlooked. He's played breathtaking tennis in London, however, and if this is any indication that he's starting to find the belief against the biggest names in the game, watch out for him in 2012. Finally, hats off to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. After losing to Federer in three to start his campaign this year, he then produced top-notch tennis against Fish before taking it to Nadal when the chips were down to secure his semifinal berth. If they keep playing like this, we're in for an exciting end to the last tournament of the season.
Valiant Effort
His overall match results at the ATP World Tour Finals may say otherwise, but Mardy Fish was one of the feel-good stories of the week. He said he was approaching the tournament with the attitude that he was just happy to be there, and that's been evident in his whole demeanor. You can see how much it meant to him to qualify for this prestigious event, and the fact that he played that third round robin match, knowing he was already out of the running and carrying an injury, is nothing short of admirable. He also put together some fine tennis and had his preparation not been hampered by the injury, you can't help but wonder if he might have won a few more of the key points and found his way to the semis. It's hard to know whether or not Fish is capable of backing up his 2011 season next year, but it's hard not to root for him to have another crack at London.
Awards Are In
The ATP Awards were announced at the front part of the week, and there were no real surprises. Djokovic took home honors for finishing No. 1 while Nadal received the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award for his work with his foundation. Bogomolov Jr. was named the Most Improved by his peers, while standout Raonic was voted the Newcomer of the Year. But the most telling awards were perhaps those that were given to Roger Federer. Despite falling to No. 4 in the rankings and not winning a major for the first time in nearly a decade, fans still voted him their favorite player for the ninth consecutive time, a testament to the enduring quality of the brand of tennis he plays. He was also named the recipient of the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, as voted on by his peers, for the seventh time in eight years. For sure, Federer has had some less-than-classy moments in interviews following tough losses, but it's nice to see that the sportsmanship award went to the top player who doesn't feel the need to wear every emotion on his sleeve and doesn't violate the time or coaching rules.
Lighten Up
That's what Roger Draper and the LTA are asking the British Government to do when it comes to their tax laws regarding athletes competing in Britain. Currently, athletes are taxed on prize money, appearance fees, and worldwide endorsements. While taking taxes out for prize money and even the appearance fees doesn't seem unreasonable (though they are high), the tax on the endorsements does. Nadal, who brought the issue to a head earlier in the year, and any other athlete is right to complain and can't be blamed for choosing to play at another venue that will allow them to take home more of their hard-earned money. The question is if the government will budge, or if they think that they can continue to get away with it. They've already granted some exemptions, such as to those competing in the 2012 Olympics, but it's hard to imagine tennis players boycotting Wimbledon or possibly even the ATP World Tour Finals if not given exemptions just because of the tax laws. Fingers crossed Draper and the LTA can get the government to do the right thing in this scenario.
ATP World Tour Finals Feature Familiar Faces
What parity?
The final eight players for the ATP World Tour Finals are clearly the big names in men's tennis and have dominated all season-long. They are set to face off on November 20-27 at the O2 arena in London and fans will be treated to witnessing some of the best tennis players of any generation.
The two round-robin groups are:
Group A: Novak Djokovic (SRB), Andy Murray (GBR), David Ferrer (ESP), Tomas Berdych (CZE)
Group B: Rafael Nadal (ESP), Roger Federer (SUI), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA), Mardy Fish (USA)
But while the names are familiar, much has changed in the past 12 months.
Defending champion Roger Federer has experienced an up-and-down year, dropping out of the top three and failing to capture a Grand Slam title for the first time since 2002. However, the Swiss maestro should never be counted out and showed he still has magic left with title-winning performances at Basel and the Paris Masters recently. Federer, a 30-year-old father of twins, also ended world No. 1 Novak Djokovic's unbeaten streak of 43 matches at the French Open semifinals and earned his 800th career win last week.
Djokovic has been virtually unstoppable at times during the year and captured the Australia Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open to compile one of the best individual seasons of all time. The 24-year-old Serb conquered his fitness woes and played with confidence to match his talent and skill. Sitting behind Federer and Spain's Rafael Nadal for most of his career, Djokovic proved he could win in any condition, any surface and any situation, and will deservedly finish the 2011 season on top. Djokovic, however, is still recovering from a nagging shoulder injury that forced him to withdraw in Paris.
The oft-injured Nadal also enters the World Tour Finals recovering from ailment, as he has not played since the Shanghai Masters last month, electing to prepare his body for London and Davis Cup. The world No. 2 enjoyed a solid season, winning his sixth French Open and finishing runner-up at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open to friendly rival Djokovic. The two captivated tennis fans all year with their intense matches that culminated in one of the most thrilling U.S. Open finals.
With a triumph in Shanghai, Britain's Andy Murray overtook Federer as the world No. 3. Almost surprisingly, the Scot was perhaps the most consistent player on the Grand Slam stage aside from Djokovic, with a finals appearance at the Australian Open and three semifinal finishes. The brooding, seemingly self-loathing player has dedicated himself to fitness and after a deflating defeat at the hands of Djokovic at Melbourne, has rediscovered his game and confidence and should be a force at the World Tour Finals and in the 2012 season.
Spain's David Ferrer and Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga should prove formidable and could spoil the party for any of the top four. World No. 5 Ferrer enters the event with solid wins at Shanghai, Valencia and the Paris Masters. Tsonga, at World No. 6, matched his career high ranking by reaching the finals in Paris, where he lost to Federer. Of the bottom four, only Tsonga has a winning career record against Djokovic.
Rounding out the top eight are Czech Tomas Berdych and World Tour Finals newcomer American Mardy Fish. In the quarterfinal of the Paris Masters, Berdych stunned Murray and secured his second consecutive World Tour Finals berth. Fish, who overtook fellow countryman Andy Roddick as the top American player this year, has shown consistent top victories that were lacking in the past. He enters the tournament despite being troubled with a hamstring strain.
The end-of-the-season round robin competition begins this Sunday, November 20th and should showcase some thrilling matchups to close out the 2011 ATP season.
Robbie Koenig: US Open Analysis
Together with Wimbledon, its my favorite Slam! I love "The City" from the restaurants to coffee shops, theatre, night life….there is no place like it!!! Apart from the fact it was my most successful Slam (1x Semi's and 3x Quarterfinalist in doubles) and my favorite surface, I always felt at home in the Big Apple. The tournament paid a lot of bills for me! Also the wind can blow there…i probably was one of the few guys who liked that (conditions could be as windy as hell at my hometown in Durban, South Africa when i was growing up as a youngster) its a great equalizer, and tests your mental resilience, and its a factor, no question, together with the heat and the crowd, it makes for heady cocktail!
So who's gonna handle the conditions best? That's the million dollar question. Let's stay away from Nadal, Federer and Djokovic for a while, because we know they are the favorites, any person can tell you that/ Lets take a look at their various sections in the draw and try pick out some "dark horses."
Rafa, top of the pile, first time ever at a Slam, has got a tough Quarter!! Berdych ( who by the way I think is grossly under achieving!) can be a handful a for any of the top three, and he had a great record against Rafa, until recently, plays Karlovic potentially in the third round. Nadal will play either of the two I suspect. Those are two guys he won't be happy to see in his section that's for sure! Remember the courts play QUICK at Flushing Meadows and those two guys will love that!
Also you have Blake and Nalbandian in the Quarter, ANOTHER two players who have the measure of Rafa. Remember James's most successful Slam is here, and he'll be tough to beat under lights at home! As far as Nalbandian is concerned, who knows which guy is gonna turn up, he's probably short of some matches.
In the next quarter you got the likes of Ferrer, Simon, Youhzny, Murray and the "on fire" Juan Martin Del Potro (he's won four straight tournaments!) Murray was gonna be one of my picks to make the semis, but that's a tough section. Del Potro vs. Canas is a very interesting first round matchup, never easy to play someone from your own country and someone you probably looked up to as a youngster. Del Potro will do well to get over this first hurdle! and keep that tsunami size wave of confidence on a roll! I think the fact Murray lost early in Beijing is actually beneficial, because he'll have more time to recover and get acclimatized back in the US. It's so tough to play your very best when you are globetrotting like the tennis players have been doing this past month. Murray is my pick to come thru, but only just ahead of David Ferrer, who remember last year put Rafa out…..and they're in the same half this year???
The Bottom half is definitely easier, I think. Unfortunately I don't think Roddick is gonna make it as far as the Semis. Djokovic will see to that, if not Ernests Gulbis in the second round. That is my outside pick there! Gonzo is playing well, but that section will be all Djokovic
Then finally the fourth quarter – interesting. A few dangerous floaters – Almagro, Verdasco ( Fernando has had a great season so far!) and Andreev have all had a good year. What about the Haas vs. Gasquet 1st round!!! That's rough for either player. But perhaps the most interesting matchup, could be the potential third round encounter between Stepanek and Federer. "Steps" beat him in Rome earlier this year and is a tricky customer even when Roger was playing well…..but considering how susceptible the Swiss Maestro is looking now, that match could be a massive headache for "Big Rog" And if Fed does get bounced early, which one of the above mentioned guys will capitalize…..Probably NONE….That's because Davydenko is in that section. The guy who always finds his way into the last four, and the one player we always say very little about!!! But boy has he earned his stripes, remember the win in Miami this year, he drilled Rafa in the finals! Beware the Russian.
I can't wait for Monday! To see the players go toe to toe at a Slam is the ultimate! (I'm not a big fan of tennis being an Olympic sport, so I wasn't that in to it). I would love to see Murray win his first Slam, it would spice things up even more at the top of the rankings. Don't forget he won the Junior title there back in 2004, so there's that 'feel good factor' for him in NYC!!!
Enjoy the spectacle!

Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Today marks the eighth anniversary of the U.S. sending troops to Afghanistan. To help mark the occasion we get the personal stories of three veterans of that war: Joe Sturm, Marco Reininger and Genevieve Chase.
On Oct. 7, 2001, President George W. Bush announced that the U.S. military would be making strikes against al-Qaida targets and Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan. By November 2001, the U.S.-backed military alliance had taken Kabul. By December 7, the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar had fallen. Eight years later we are still there. There are currently 68,000 troops in Afghanistan, and 869 American lives have been lost since the beginning.
Gourmet Magazine Closes After Seven Decades
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Conde Nast announced yesterday that it will close Gourmet magazine after nearly 69 years of taste making and recipe writing. The November issue will be its last. The decision came after a three-month study by McKinsey & Co., which looked at cutting the publishing company's costs. Along with Gourmet, Conde Nast is closing Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride. The magazine, headed by longtime editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl, has been a gourmet bible for many young chefs and foodies. Joining us to talk about the demise of the magazine is chef and author Mark Bittman.
"It is a tragedy from an editorial point of view, because it was place where probably the most serious food journalism was being done on a regular basis."
—Chef and author Mark Bittman on closing of Gourmet magazine after 69 years of publication.
H1N1 Vaccine Rolls Out Nationwide
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
The H1N1 vaccine is being slowly distributed around the country. We talk to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Disease, about when the vaccine will hit doctors' offices nationwide. Then, we turn to two practitioners who are also parents: Dr. Sandra Arnold, a pediatric specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, who was one of the first in the nation to get the vaccine. We also talk with Dr. Matthew Davis, a pediatrician and internal medicine doctor at the University of Michigan Medical Center, who just conducted a poll on whether parents will be vaccinating their kids. It turns out that less than half of parents polled are convinced that the vaccine is necessary for their kids.
The True Cost of H1N1
Friday, October 02, 2009
Flu season starts officially on Sunday, and while the government has been urging schools to close only as a last resort in the battle against H1N1, there have already been at least 187 school closures since the school year started last month. Ross Hammond from the Brookings Institution discusses his new report that reveals that the true cost to the nation of closing schools and day care centers could be as much as $47 billion. Kathleen Murphy is a registered nurse and the health services coordinator for the Milwaukee Public Schools; she tells us what her school district is doing to prevent closings. We also speak to Dr. Faheem Younus, the medical director of epidemiology and infection prevention at the Upper Chesapeake Health Center in Bel Air, Md., who has some practical advice for parents who can't take the day off of work.
"Approximately 75-80% [of students] eat two meals a day at school, so right there, when schools close, there's an impact on their nutritional status and a family's ability to meet that child's needs."
—Kathleen Murphy, registered nurse and health services coordinator for the Milwaukee Public Schools, on a side effect of closing schools in case of an H1N1 outbreak
In the Philippines, After the High Water
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
The floodwaters in the Philippines are starting to recede now that Typhoon Ketsana (locally known as Typhoon Ondoy) has passed through, but the situation in Manila and the surrounding areas is still dire. The city is still recovering as 20 feet of floodwater begins to drain away and the government struggles to cope with 450,000 displaced citizens.
We talk with Stephen Anderson, head of the World Food Program in the Philippines, who talks to us from Manila; and Bing Branigan, Filipina American community liaison for the National Federation of Filipino American Associations, who is leaving for Manila on Wednesday to assist in the relief effort.
Addressing Climate Change One Prank at a Time
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
Last week close to a million New Yorkers received a special edition of the New York Post emblazoned with the giant headline: "We're Screwed!" Plausible as the headline seemed, the paper was not the work of the Post staff, but rather an elaborate prank by The Yes Men, a group dedicated to pranking for change. We talk to one of the two Yes Men, Mike Bonnano (his partner-in-pranks, Andy Bichlbaum, would have joined us, but is still in jail after being arrested yesterday) about their goals, their pranks and their agenda for the week. We also talk to Steven Heller, co-chair of MFA design at the School for Visual Arts, about whether such pranks change conversations in a positive way or just distract from important topics.
For more from the Yes Men, check out their movie, The Yes Men Fix the World, which opens nationally on October 23rd, or read their book The Yes Men: The True Story of the End of the World Trade Organization.
Lately the Yes Men have been touting the benefits of a new product, the Survivaball. Click through for more videos from the Yes Men:
The Late Show with President Obama
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
President Obama added another TV appearance to his recent media tour last night. He stopped by the fabled couches of "The Late Show with David Letterman" and brought his bully pulpit with him. Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times joins us with a look at whether the president's policy goals were met by his late-night appearance. And Delaina Dixon, founder of delainadixon.com, brings us her thoughts on whether the president was more fun to watch than stupid pet tricks.
Afghanistan: From the Headlines to the Frontlines
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Hot on the heels of a recently-released report in which Afghanistan commander General McChrystal said the U.S. mission in Afghanistan "will likely result in failure" without calling up additional troops, President Obama hit the talk show circuit expressing concern about sending more troops. How are these mixed messages playing out for those about to be deployed?
Kristen L. Rouse is a first lieutenant in the Army National Guard and recently found out she would be deployed for a second tour in Afghanistan. Mary Galeti's husband Russell is also soon to be deployed to Afghanistan. They join us with their thoughts on the continued U.S. presence in Afghanistan. We're also joined by Larry Korb, former Assistant Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan and now a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a senior advisor for the Center for Defense Information.
"We have a moral obligation to fulfill the promises that we've made to the Afghan people. I think that Afghanistan is a profoundly impoverished nation that has suffered from thirty years of warfare."
—Kristen L. Rouse, first lieutenant in the Army National Guard and soon to deploy for a second tour in Afghanistan, on the U.S. mission there
Searching for 'The Lost Symbol'
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
They can't wait for Amazon.com to ship it. They can't wait until 9 a.m. for Barnes & Noble to open. They are Dan Brown's biggest fans, and they can't wait even a minute past midnight to get a hold of his new book, "The Lost Symbol," on the day of its release. We speak to Tom Holbrook, the owner of River Run Bookstore in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, who kept his doors open last night until 1 a.m.
"What a lot of people forget is that "The Da Vinci Code" was really fascinating and attention-grabbing. It was this sort of hand grenade book. It seemed like a thriller, but it just unpacked all of these crazy ideas."
—Tom Holbrook, owner of River Run bookstore, on why crowds are so avidly anticipating Dan Brown's newest book
China to US: I'll See Your Tires and Raise You Chicken Parts
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
President Obama set off a trade dispute on Friday when he announced that the U.S. would impose a 35 percent tariff on imported Chinese tires. China retaliated by launching an investigation into whether the U.S. is dumping cheap chicken and automotive parts into China's marketplace. How is all this playing out in the U.S. business scene? We talk to Mike Cockrell, the chief financial officer of Sanderson Farms in Laurel, Mississippi; and Ross Kogel, the president of Tire Wholesalers International in Michigan.

Bayer Reduces Production at Its MaterialScience Unit; More Cuts Are to Come
December 12, 2008 | Natasha Alperowicz in Leverkusen
Bayer is responding to the "considerably weaker sales and earnings" at its Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) subgroup by cutting back production in some areas with more measures to come, says Werner Wenning, Bayer chairman and CEO. Addressing the media in Leverkusen today at a 'Bayer Perspective on Innovation 2008' event, Wenning said that sales and earnings at BMS were even weaker in November than in the previous month. "We are preparing further measures next year, such as temporary shutdowns and short-time working," he says. He will announce...

Large Sod Job

Here is how I would tackle the job. I am just like bigred350. 2 days with a skid steer, harley rake, and 4 guys. One day of prepping, I would get one guy to harley rake entire job while other 3 are working edges. By 12pm it should be time to get the dirt hauled in to bring drive and sidewalks to grade. You should be able to have a majority of debris piled up. You can load the debris in the truck that dumps the topsoil and that might save you a couple bucks.
I think big rolls on that job is probably not going to work real well. I think you really need wide open spaces to take advantage of the big rolls. Otherwise, it will be alot of piecing things together and that can eat man hours.
On our last job we did 150,000k sq ft and I tracked my man hours on big rolls, dingo rolls, and pallets. The big rolls were very fast if it was wide open, but if we got caught in tight areas with alot of cuts it really cut down on productivity. We did 3 truck loads one day which is 30k sq ft.
The dingo rolls are less grueling on the crew, but really are not any faster than having 4 guys doing it with pallets. And sometimes shipping can cost you more on the dingo rolls since here DOT wont let them double stack them.

"Eating disorders are an important public health issue and knowing what causes them can help us to develop more effective treatment and support," she said.
The study findings confirm that eating disorders can be caused by major life changes and lack of support in dealing with those events.
"We hope that our findings will be of interest to parents as well as health professionals as they underline the need for greater awareness and support at times of change and stress," Berge said.

There is growing interest in the of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the perioperative setting with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).1
Guralnick et al. describe CPAP adherence in patients with newly diagnosed OSA prior to elective surgery.2 The major findings were that African American race, male gender and depressive symptoms were associated with reduced CPAP adherence. However, we consider that some aspects of this study need clarification in order to extrapolate the findings into clinical practice.
First, we believe that the overall results could be separated according to the OSA severity categories of moderate or severe. This separation into two different groups could clarify the overall message of the study, since the literature suggests that more severe OSA is associated with greater CPAP adherence compared to milder severities.3 Moreover, previous studies have shown that a higher baseline apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was the only significant independent predictor of better CPAP compliance.4
Secondly, the finding of male gender being a risk factor for poor CPAP adherence warrants further consideration.2 We suggest that male gender may be a surrogate for risk factors or comorbidities such as smoking, obesity, or anthropometric parameters such as neck circumference.
Thirdly, depressive symptomatology has been reported to be an independent predictor of reduced CPAP adherence.5 This aspect may have a dual interpretation in the population tested in this study and is not clearly in the same direction of previous studies.
Fourth, there is lack information about some relevant practical aspects that was not examined: (a) type of surgery and extent of postoperative pain; (b) the auto-set CPAP settings were atypical, with a pressure range of only 5 around the optimal pressure derived from polysomnography (PSG); (c) they do not report on the efficacy of CPAP from the machine download; (d) 50% of patient who scored highly on the questionnaire refused PSG—were their postoperative outcomes different to those who were treated with CPAP?
We propose to include a more accurate assessment of possible psychological disorders that may interfere with patient adherence to CPAP and hospital education program before surgery.
The authors have indicated no financial conflicts of interest.

Durant Calls A Timeout
By Randy Renner
It's about time something like this happened, in fact it's past time, long overdue.
Kevin Durant is finally taking a timeout from basketball, or at least competitive basketball, releasing a statement just after his basketball camp ended yesterday that he was withdrawing from Team USA and the preparations for the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
The biggest problem with his announcement late yesterday afternoon is the timing.

The syllabus – Going MultimodalSep 12th, 2011 | By Kathryn Crowther
It's that time of year and we're all thinking "syllabus." At least we were about a week or two ago – now with classes underway most of us have finalized our syllabi and distributed them to our new classes. Or did you? I didn't. Well, distribute them that is. I've been trying to run a

Nintendo revealed a new spin off title based on the Captain Toad levels from Super Mario 3D World back at E3. Now, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has been given an official UK release date by Nintendo.
The game will be releasing on January 9th for WiiU, both physical copies and eShop downloads of the game will be available.
"Unlike traditional video game heroes, Captain Toad and Toadette don't have any special powers – these tiny heroes can't even jump! Plus, they're terrified of just about everything, but face their adventures head on. Armed with headlights and a can-do attitude, they must make their way through enemy-infested locales like Wild West shanties and Goomba waterparks. Each location is bursting with puzzles to solve and secrets to unearth.
These tiny heroes are on the hunt for the ultimate treasure, a coveted Power Star. At the beginning of their adventure, Wingo, a giant, greedy bird who makes life difficult for these timid treasure trackers, makes off with their only Power Star, and even whisks away Toadette! Players must then help Captain Toad retrieve the Power Star and Toadette in order to unlock her as a playable character, and ultimately, defeat Wingo. In the process, they'll encounter more than 70 fun, puzzling stages while also collecting stars and gems."
Nintendo today also released this trailer for the UK release of the game:

Check out this Videogame Show KickStarter 'Games Lounge'
Posted under Extras by James Mayell on Saturday 28th June 2014 at 10:15am -
Shaun Paul Johnston, producer of the ZombiU fan film we shared with you last year is starting a Kickstarter campaign along with a whole bunch of other talented people to fund a new Videogame show called Games Lounge.
The show is inspired by the style of the various 90s gaming shows from television, and hopes to provide coverage of the latest video game news and information in a format that is remeniscent of the shows of the past.
"Back in the early 90's there were some pretty amazing video game shows on television, like Games World and Bad Influence! for example; that really captured what it felt like to be a gamer back then, playing awesome beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage on the Mega Drive, or Genesis for the American gamers out there, and the eye-poppingly fast F-Zero on the SNES running in glorious Mode-7-ovision. When I first saw Bad Influence! it was a revelation, covering all the latest news and info on the games industry from around the world, including things like exclusive peaks at the Silicon Graphics tech powering the 'mind-boggling at the time' 3D graphics on "Ultra 64" games. It was a great gaming show made specifically for passionate gamers like me that ran for 4 years before closing shop and it's probably one of my favourite childhood memories.
As well as Bad Influence! we also got shows like GamesMaster with Dominik Diamond & Sir Patrick Moore (Patrick Moore!), Bits and several others here in the UK, however there's not really been anything like that since then. Of course, we now have the Internet for almost everything we could possibly want, but, I still miss that classic feel and style of those early 90s TV video game shows and I think the time is about right to do something about it."
The kickstarter is aiming to raise £7000 to buy the proper equipment necessary to produce a show like this on a regular basis, such as camera and lighting equipment and the ability to live stream the show. Here's the official campaign video from their kickstarter page:
They have also managed to produce a pilot episode to show us what we can expect to see from the project should it be funded, which you can see below:
By supporting the campaign by donating you can help get this project off the ground and get some pretty awesome rewards. Feel free to check out their Kickstarter page and consider donating to make this awesome idea a reality. We'd love to see it get funded and look forward to seeing more from these guys in the future!

Satoru Iwata Re-elected as Nintendo President
Posted under News by James Mayell on Saturday 28th June 2014 at 8:43am -
It has been revealed that at Nintendo's Shareholders meeting Mr. Satoru Iwata was re-elected as Nintendo's President. Mr. Iwata himself was ill and unable to attend the meeting. It hasn't been announced what the approval rate for Mr. Iwata being re-elected was but details should emerge soon.
What are your thoughts on Mr. Iwata's re-election to the Nintendo throne? After the few years of dissapointing sales figures many fans were calling for Mr. Iwata to step down and for someone else to take over the position. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Amiibo Figures Listed for Preorder on ShopTo Website
Posted under News by James Mayell on Friday 27th June 2014 at 8:37am -
A UK retailer by the name of ShopTo has listed various Amiibo figures for preorder on their website. We're not too sure if the prices listed are actual retail prices or if they will change closer to release, but each figure is available to preorder for £12.85 now.
Reggie mentioned a few weeks that we could expect to see the Amiibo figures go on sale for about $10 (£5.87) each to compete with Skylanders and other figures. This is obviously a lot more than that, however we're still not sure if these prices listed are an estimation or fixed.
Still not much is known about Amiibo, whether they will be cross platform, when they will be releasing and how much they will definitely cost is still uncertain, but this listing is the first in the world to appear online, so perhaps more details are to follow?
What do you think about this listing? Legit or speculative? Would you buy figures for this price? Let us know in the comments below.

Bluetooth technology provides high-quality music streaming from mobile audio devices. Whether the sound source is your mobile phone, tablet or laptop computer, this product can work with it.

You've got a high-definition, flat-panel TV screen that flawlessly displays all the grandeur of your video the way that its creators intended. But how about the audio? Unfortunately, these screens don't come with speakers that match the brilliance of their video.
The JBL® Cinema SB200 provides you the outstanding JBL sound that we install in movie theaters throughout the world – and does it without compromising space or style. This two-channel soundbar speaker features dual 3-1/2-inch (89-millimeter) woofers, two 1-inch (25-millimeter) tweeters, a built-in amplifier that offers up to 120 watts, HARMAN Display Surround technology for 3D sound and dual-positioning equalization that optimizes the soundbar's performance based on its location. Its high-excursion drivers and precision bass port work to deliver powerful, resounding bass, so there's no need to add a separate subwoofer.
But what makes the SB200 even more impressive is its integrated Bluetooth® technology, which allows you to stream music easily from digital audio devices such as your iPhone, iPad, smartphone, tablet, MP3 player, laptop or personal computer. But more than providing you with exceptional sound, the SB200 also looks fabulous. Able to complement flat-panel TVs that are 32 inches (812 millimeters) and larger, the JBL Cinema SB200 is ready to grace your living room with powerful bass and beautiful sound.

The Cinema SB200 incorporates amplifiers, controls, left and right woofers and tweeters, and a built-in subwoofer solution into a single soundbar. Its built-in amplification simplifies system connections and operation, and offers up to 120 watts of power.
Movies and TV shows aren't the only things that sound better with a JBL soundbar. The Cinema SB200 wirelessly streams music from iPhone, iPads, smartphones, tablets, MP3 players, laptops and personal computers, delivering room-filling, full-range sound reproduction with exceptional bass.
Drawing from HARMAN expertise in movie theater audio, the Cinema SB200 lets you add cinema sound without adding multiple speakers. Employing proprietary HARMAN Display Surround technology, it creates a virtual surround-sound experience while preserving the original audio mix in its timbre and special balance.
The Cinema SB200 decodes film soundtracks in their native format, which eliminates conversion stages that reduce sound quality. This setup helps the soundbar provide a superb surround-sound experience for multiple listeners.
With a unique JBL design that uses two high-excursion drivers with dual port design, the all-in-one Cinema SB200 lets you enjoy impressive bass performance without making you find room for an external subwoofer.
The Cinema SB200 easily connects to any TV – and even includes all the cables that you'll need. Easy to install, the soundbar requires virtually no setup. Just connect and play. What could be simpler?
The Cinema SB200 features enough inputs to connect a TV and a disc player, satellite tuner or cable tuner to the system. It connects directly to any television and increases convenience – no plugging and unplugging required.
The Cinema SB200 comes with a credit card-sized remote. However, this impressive soundbar speaker can also "learn" the IR (infrared) volume-control code of your existing TV remote control, taking away the need to keep track of yet another remote for controlling the volume on your soundbar.
You can place the Cinema SB200 on a shelf or tabletop, or wall-mount it with hardware that we've included. A dual-position equalization feature optimizes the soundbar's performance for any location. So you can position it where you choose without compromising sound quality.
Audiophiles respect JBL speakers for their exceptional bass response. And the Cinema SB200 lets you increase low-frequency performance by just touching a button on the included remote control. The added bass impact is ideal for films.

Guertin Brothers to shutter after 64 years
BUSINESS – At the front counter of Guertin Brothers Jewelers in Hyannis, owner Dean Smith chats amiably with a customer. Given that it's the holiday season, it's not an unusual scene, until one takes in the semi-bare display cases and the multiple "Going Out of Business" signs hanging throughout the store.
After 64 years, the popular Cape jewelry chain will be shuttering its doors sometime in mid-January when the affable Smith officially marks his retirement after 37 years at the helm.
"I've been here forever," he said. "It gets so hard to find managers and staff."
Remembering Dave Simser
NEWS – David Simser, the well-respected county entomologist who was a force in Lyme disease research and education, died in November. His Cape Cod Cooperative Extension colleague Bill Clark remembered Simser's contributions in a conversation with the county commissioners Dec. 1.
"He was an outstanding worker and scientist," Clark said with emotion. He noted that Simser received a medal from the regional Environmental Protection Agency office for his work using deer stands to reduce deer ticks.
Armory study, Cape business survey funded
NEWS – The Town of Barnstable wants to know what it will take to renovate the former armory building on South Street into a cultural center and got $25,000 in Cape & Islands' license plates funds to help.
That was one of six grants recommended by the Cape Cod Economic Development Council and approved by the county commissioners, Dec. 8, for a total of $150,000.
The town's growth management department requested $50,000 in an application described by CCEDC Chair Felicia Penn as "not very specific" in some areas. The commissioners agreed with the CCEDC recommendation that the funds be limited to the feasibility study portion of the application.
Also funded this year was $45,000 to the Cape Cod Commission for a Capewide business survey. The commission has received past license plate-funded grants in support of its Capewide Economic Development Strategy program.
Pope John Paul II sees growth
NEWS – The folks at Pope John Paul II High School in Hyannis are doing a little celebrating again. Four years after officially opening its doors with an inaugural freshman class of about 40, PJP2 principal Chris Keavy was pleased to confirm this week that more than 100 students took the school's entrance exam Dec. 4, with another 20-25 expected Dec. 11.
"Our tracking numbers for things like shadowing visits and open house attendance are significantly increased over previous years," Keavy said.
Local thespian works to bring theater to town
NEWS – Move over Shakespeare in the Park, the Main Street Theatre Company is coming.
Paul Dionne, a Barnstable High School grad and alumnus of the school's famous Drama Club, had been working as a sales rep for a wine importer when the idea came to him. Dionne started thinking about it, and realized he might well be onto something.
While they may not have a roof of their own to start with, Dionne isn't letting that stop him. He's been in talks with a number of Main Street restaurants regarding dinner theater.
Currently he is focused on raising money and finding a fiscal backer for the initial shows.
BHS's Crook resigns as football head coach
SPORTS – Doug Crook stepped down as head coach of the Barnstable football program, officially tendering his resignation Dec. 3.
"Doug resigned on Friday afternoon after a period of administrative leave," said Barnstable High School Principal Pat Clark. "That period ended with his resignation."
Crook was placed on administrative leave days prior to the annual Thanksgiving Day football game against Falmouth. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, he was placed on leave after using inappropriate language while addressing senior players.
Girls hockey head coach resigns
SPORTS – Kim Sullivan, head coach of the Barnstable girls varsity hockey team, has stepped down from the position.
Barnstable athletic director Steve Francis confirmed that Sullivan submitted her resignation the night of Dec. 14, but he was unable to offer an explanation as to why.
According to Francis, varsity assistant coach Ross Alper and JV assistant coach Jeff Sollows are working with the varsity team until a replacement for Sullivan is found.
"I am sad and disappointed," Francis said. "I think very highly of Kim. The kids are obviously extremely disappointed."
A banner year for plovers and people at Sandy Neck
NEWS – It was a banner year for piping plovers and other living things that enjoy Sandy Neck.
On Dec. 14, park manager Nina Coleman told the conservation commission that 38 nesting pairs of plovers fledged 60 chicks, a 1.59 percent rate that bettered the "golden number' of 1.5.
"There was just fabulous weather," she said. "No big storms."
Revenue was "way up," Coleman said, as humans got plenty of enjoyment out of the park. Unlike the plovers, they can't fly onto the beach, so Sandy Neck sold 3,381 off-road vehicle passes and recorded 21,694 trips.
Other species having a good time were diamondback terrapins, with 122 nests. Coleman called that number "the highest in memory," and noted that nine turtles were rescued from the beach, one of them by Sandy Neck board chair Rich French.
Roger Cadrin protected Hyannis for 38 years
NEWS – He's a teacher. He's a diver. He's a bartender. He's a hamburger-flipper. He's a mechanic. He's a self-confessed "golfoholic." He's a Harley guy. He's a poet.
Oh, and by the way, he's saved a lot of lives, Whether by putting out fires, doing CPR, heading out in a rescue boat, or teaching bad drivers how to improve, he's Lt. Roger E. Cadrin of the Hyannis Fire Department,
And he's going to retire in style. His last day of duty is Sunday, when a 1950 Mack fire truck – which he drove in his early days in the profession -- is scheduled to pick him up and deliver him to his last 24-hour shift at the station on High School Road Extension.
On the day of his retirement he celebrated both his 55th birthday and his retirement from 38 years in the fire and rescue service.
CLF, EPA talk to resolve wastewater suit
NEWS – While little has happened in court since the Conservation Law Foundation and Coalition for Buzzards Bay filed suit under the federal Clean Waters Act over Cape Cod wastewater issues, outside the courts the parties have been talking.
The parties have met twice to discuss resolution without going to court and are scheduled to meet again Jan. 7.
That's according to a Dec. 13 filing with the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts seeking more time to let the talks continue. The only deadline in the case is the 120-day requirement to serve notice to the defendants named in the suit, which was set expire Dec. 22.
WB looks to recapture untaxed land
NEWS – If the map of the West Barnstable Fire District looks like Swiss cheese, its prudential committee would prefer it resemble a solid slab of cheddar.
There are a number of legally excluded properties that aren't taxed by the district, some that don't pay taxes that perhaps should and some others that may or may not fall within the district.
"It's like a piece of Swiss cheese," West Barnstable Fire Chief Joe Maruca told the prudential committee Dec. 15.
Maruca, district Clerk Elaine Grace and district Treasurer Mike Daley prepared a seven-page report on the properties, how they came to be and possible remedies. Based on their research, the non-taxed properties represent about $1.7 million in assessed value and $4,600 in missed taxes.
IRS places $613K lien on Cape Air parent
BUSINESS – Cape and Islands Senator-elect Dan Wolf's Hyannis Air Service has been hit with a $613,000 federal tax lien, according to a Dec. 14 filing at the Barnstable County Registry of Deeds.
Wolf said that the issue is not new, but the lien was a surprise, as it is in dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. The Harwich Democrat remains the CEO of Hyannis Air Service, the parent company of Cape Air and Nantucket Airlines, but stepped down as chairman during his campaign for state Senate.
Hyannis Air Service conducted its own internal review and hired outside auditors to review the filings and both concluded that nothing is owed for those periods, Wolf said.
Barry, Hadley win in Cotuit election
NEWS – Rick Barry and Laurie Hadley won the vacated prudential committee seats in the Dec. 21 special election in the Cotuit Fire District.
With 294 ballots cast, Barry edged out Diane Fay 173 to 113 and eight blanks for the remainder of a term that ends May 2011. Hadley defeated Richard Capen for the remainder of a term that ends in May 2012. Capen withdrew from the race for personal reasons, posting a letter to voters to that effect inside the Cotuit Fire Station, where voting was held from 4 to 8 p.m.
Election of council officers highlights divisions
That's the margin whereby Fred Chirigotis gained his third term as president of the Barnstable Town Council Dec. 16, and Jan Barton won her first as vice president. Ann Canedy drew six votes for president and Jim Crocker the same six for vice president.
But the evening was about more than balloting. It was an opportunity for councilors to speak from their heart, and not a few of them did.
What emerged was a sense of frustration among some councilors that their counsel is not heeded to the extent they desire, and that, in a town noted for its communication efforts, they find themselves out of the loop more than occasionally.
