How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
12 Apr 2011 13:22 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia
A Bahraini businessman who was a member of the leading Shia opposition group Wefaq died in police custody on Tuesday.
There was no immediate reaction by state media to the reported death and officials were not available to comment about Kareem Fakhrawi's death.
Fakhrawi's was the fourth known death in police custody in recent days. Bahrain's government denies there is torture in Bahrain and says all such allegations will be investigated.
Mattar Mattar, a member of Wefaq, said Fakhrawi had died in police custody, a week after he never returned home from a police station where he had tried to complain about his house being demolished by police.
"Either he was sick and didn't receive treatment or was tortured," Mattar said.
Wefaq said on Tuesday three Shi'ite doctors and several staff from the Education Ministry had been arrested on Monday, bringing the total number of detainees to 453.
"After these problems, many are afraid to contact us," said Mattar. "I estimate the real number is not less than 600. That's one in every 1,000 Bahrainis," he said.
Bahrain said on Monday it had released 86 people held under martial law while "legal measures" were being taken against other detainees.
Hunger strike
The daughter of a prominent Bahraini activist has said she is beginning a hunger strike in protest over the arrest of her father, husband, brother-in-law and uncle.
Zainab Al-Khawaja said on Monday that she would refuse food until her father Abdulhadi, who she says was beaten unconscious before being taken away, and other relatives are released.
Three of the men were detained following a police sweep on Zainab's house over the weekend, while her uncle was arrested three weeks ago.
She announced her hunger strike in a letter addressed to Barack Obama, the US president, posted on her blog Angry Arabiya.
"I chose to write to you and not to my own government because the al-Khalifa regime has proven that they do not care about our rights or our lives," she wrote.
"I demand the immediate release of my family members. My father: Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja. My husband: Wafi Almajed. My brother-in-law: Hussein Ahmed. My uncle: Salah Al-Khawaja."
The US, whose Fifth Fleet is stationed in the Gulf island kingdom, has offered only muted criticism of the government crackdown and analysts say it refrained from pressing Bahrain due to anxieties over interference from its rival Iran, just across the Gulf.
It appeared to be the first time an activist has gone on hunger strike since the Bahraini government began its crackdown on protesters last month.
Martial law
Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, the former president of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, was arrested amid a continued crackdown on pro-democracy activists in the tiny Gulf nation.
Zainab said her father had been calling for democracy and had been saying that the country's rulers were guilty of killing, torturing and detaining people, and should be put on trial.
On Monday Bahrain said it had released 86 people held under martial law while "legal measures" were being taken against other detainees.
More than 400 people have been arrested and dozens have gone missing since the crackdown began on March 16, Wefaq has said.
Bahrain's Sunni Muslim rulers quelled weeks of protests led by mostly Shia demonstrators by spreading security forces throughout the capital and calling in troops from neighbouring Sunni-led Gulf Arab states, including oil giant Saudi Arabia.
Bahrain has also put two Iranians and a Bahraini on trial on charges of spying for Iran's revolutionary guards."They are accused of contacts with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to give them military and economic information from 2002 to April 2010 ... with the intention of damaging the national interest," the Bahrain News Agency said.

Groundbreakings on new homes rose by a dramatic 20.2% and permitting hit a seven-year high.

With demand far exceeding supply, properties sold in April faster at 39-days than at any time since July 2013 when it was 42-days and the second shortest time since tracking began in May 2011. Short sales were on the market the longest at a median of 180-days, while foreclosures sold in 50-days and non–distressed homes took 38-days. Fourty-six percent of homes sold in were on the market for less than a month.Distressed sale were 10% of sales last month, unchanged from the month before and below the 15% share a year ago.

The number of borrowers who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth fell to the lowest level in eight years, but those who are still underwater are drowning faster than ever in foreclosure. By March, 1.6 million borrowers had crossed back into a positive equity position on their home loans compared to a year ago. The reason? Home values have sharply increased.Still, more than 4 million borrowers, or 8% of all homeowners with a mortgage, remain underwater. While that is a 30% drop from a year ago, the numbers are considerably higher in states where values fell the most during the housing crash. Nevada and Florida have the highest rates of negative equity at 16 percent and 15 percent, respectively. » [read more]

Tybee LIVE CAMS: Check July 4th holiday beach crowds and traffic
COLUMBIA - South Carolinians appear deadlocked on whether the state should allow gambling casinos to operate in the state, an issue close to the hearts of Hardeeville leaders.
One thing is settled: There's a great deal at stake at the future RiverPort business park.
A multitude of concerns have arisen about the proposed RiverPort development in Hardeeville, which is planned for an ecologically sensitive site near other controversial projects.
Last month, the Charleston District of the U.S.
Beaufort County officials initially said no documents were found in response to an open-records request, but they now acknowledge a complaint letter existed.
At the center of the county's refusal to turn over the letter is a judge's interpretation of the word "received."

The shrimp-baiters season in South Carolina may be as lackluster as it was last year.
Some Beaufort County businesses ran afoul of state safety regulations, according to records contained in this month's board materials for the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Those who object to the militarization of local police departments may like the way a South Carolina community is using surplus military vehicles.
On Thursday, three-dozen armored personnel carriers were dumped off the coast of Port Royal, S.C.
HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - Coastal Carolina Hospital in Hardeeville is getting ready for an expansion and some new MRI equipment.
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Teenagers who struggled through recession may be wearing that experience on their sleeve.
After finding out that a new self-storage site was setting up in Bluffton, one woman called a reporter wanting to know how large it would be.

We are starting a new informational Web site for kids, which aims to teach them about all the nations of the globe. What we need is writers who can write articles about life in (their city, their country) as seen through a kid's eyes (7-14 years old): what is a day like in their life? What are their surroundings (city, desert, town, etc.)? What kind of family do they have, and what do they do with their family? What is school like, what friends do they have, what do they do with their friends?
We are looking for articles written in a first-person voice, with an authentic feel - if you like, the content can be autobiographical (we'd prefer it!), although that's not necessary. We don't want a "glossy picture postcard" view, we want to know about the joys and fears, pleasures and pains of life in as a child in the chosen place. Each article must have at least 2-3 Web references that will allow us to check that the basic facts about a child's life in the country could be true, even if...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Henrietta man was sentenced Monday to 47 years in prison for production of child pornography and other related crimes. The sentencing comes after an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Bradley W. Pattee, 57, of Henrietta previously pleaded guilty Jan. 31, to 13 counts of producing, distributing and possessing child pornography.
"Today's punishment sends a strong message, if you engage in crime that could have lifelong effects on our children, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent," said U.S. Attorney for New York's Western District William Hochul. "As today's punishment shows, such conduct could also result in a lengthy sentence from the court."
During an April 2012 search warrant, HSI special agents seized numerous items of digital media, including computers, hard drives and other removable media, which constituted a trove of more than 5,000 images of child pornography. A forensics analysis of the seized content revealed several photos the defendant had taken of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
This investigation was conducted under HSI's Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators. Since the launch of Operation Predator in 2003, HSI has arrested more than 10,000 individuals for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child pornography, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children. In fiscal year 2013, more than 2,000 individuals were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative.
HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST.
For additional information about wanted suspected child predators, download HSI's Operation Predator smartphone app or visit the online suspect alerts page.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

Hi! I'm Nicholas, I'm originally from California, but I've been living away from home for about ten years now. I love to travel, and I keep going to different places, loving them, and deciding to stay. I also love to meet new people, learn new languages, try new food, listen to new music, and most of all learn everything I can about the people and the places I visit. I am trying to live in as many countries as possible and I'm working on my goal of learning (at least) all six official languages of the United Nations (although I'm easily distracted... now I'm learning Turkish and want to learn Persian and Hungarian so...)
Californiano viajando por el mundo! Me encanta viajar, aprender nuevos idiomas, probar diferentes comidas, escuchar música, y aprender todo lo que puedo sobre el mundo! Estoy intentando a aprender todo los seis idiomas oficiales de las naciones unidas, por lo menos!
Merhaba, Nicholas ben, Kalifornyalıyım ama şimdi İstanbul'da yaşıyorum ve yüksek lisans okuyorum burada. Türkçe öğrenmeyi çalışıyorum - bir İngilizce ya da İspanyolcayı öğrenmeyi isteyen varsa buluşup dil değişimi yapalım!
Every experience is an experience worth having.
"Elsewhere is a negative mirror. The traveler recognizes the little that is his, discovering the much he has not had and will never have." - Italo Calvino, "Invisible Cities"
Hosting, surfing, exchanging, meeting!
I've hosted quite a bit, and recently have surfed some too. The experience has always been wonderful! I've met so many friends in so many places.
cities, languages, religions, history, identity, memory, nationalism, music, food, toilets, buildings, deserts, movies, string instruments, architecture, trains, meeting new people, beards.
I'm working on a masters program in which I will hopefully focus on something relating to the intersection of identity, language, history, lgbt experiences, and oral history.
I really love reading, listening, and watching new books, music, and movies. If you have any suggestions for me I'm really interested! Here are some of my favorites that I've encountered so far:
The Battle of Algiers : The Good the Bad and the Ugly : Le Mépris : Mulholland Dr. : Almodóvar : Altman : Cronenberg : Fellini : Lynch : Scorsese
Amadou et Mariam : Bach : Bartok : The Beatles : Manu Chao : Bob Dylan : Oum Kalthoum : Fela Kuti : Moondog : Sibelius : The Smiths : Talking Heads : Chavela Vargas : Tom Waits
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino : Moby Dick by Herman Melville : Dracula by Bram Stoker : Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut : The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald : Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami : 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez : Snow by Orhan Pamuk : Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
While traveling through Mauritania in October 2007 we rode six hours in the back of a pickup truck (on top of mountains of food, backpacks, and tires). It was Ramadan so we didn't set out until the fast had been broken at sundown, and as we climbed up a jagged cliff overlooking seas of sand, chatting in broken Arabic with our three turbaned companions smoking out of carved bronze pipes, the full moon rose and the desert looked like another world.
I can help you speak English or play the Violin, and I want to learn every other language and every other instrument. Let's trade.
Languages I want to practice: Spanish, Turkish, Arabic
Languages I want to learn: Hungarian, Farsi, Kurdish, Italian, Greek
Can you help with any of these? Let's talk!
I can share laughs, stories, music, and the little bit I've learned about Turkish cooking (delicious!).

Giffgaff needs to be competitive againStatus: New Idea
Increasingly the competition has come closer to giffgaff offering and in fact in may cirumstances have beaten the goodybags on offer. The market now is fierce. I would like Giffgaff to regularly review its goodybags on a monthly basis that we are indeed getting the best prices they can offer given to this fierce competition.
Some if not all these offerings are beating giffgaff hands down and we all want the cheapest as possible around.

As you can see the market is fighting now and I do feel the goodybags on GG could be better. If they had monthly reviews and actually compare with the REAL market not just the ones they want to match like o2 EE and Vodafone you would keep more custom

Cashback for unused texts, minutes and data from goodybagsStatus: Not For Us
I just thought that it might be good idea to offer a cashback system for when you don't use a considerable amount of your texts, minutes or data from your goodybag. It could work off percentages so that you could get a bit of money back if you used less than say 25% of your contract materials.
If this idea has already been posted, sorry I didn't find it.
If not, who's with me?
[11th Feb 2015]: This idea has been set to 'Not For Us'.
Hi everyone,
We've been having in depth discussions about this for a while due to it's tremendous support. This has been a genuinely record breaking idea for the amount of Kudos it's received in such a short time. Ultimately we've had to hold up our hands and say, despite this being giffgaffy and something we would love to do for our members, this can't be done. After running the numbers, it's not financially viable and would actually add complexity to our offerings. Part of the attraction of goodybags is the freedom to use what you want, and we'd be concerned about adding pressure onto members to not use their phone, or pay for more than they need if they expect to get cashback.
Thanks for your support on this, please don't hestiate to post ideas like this in future as we really appreciate the thought, effort and desire to make giffgaff better.
Advertise Capped SIM Cards.Status: New Idea
Currently when you do a Google search for Capped SIM Cards you get a few ads and just one result: Tesco Mobile. Well with more and more scary media reports of people being billed thousands of pounds by accidentally leaving their data switched on or using their phone abroad, why not do a bit of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and get giffgaff up there on the results page. I'm thinking this would work the best with the £5/£7.50 goodybags at the lower end, which I've heard are much better than Tesco's similarly priced offerings. And once we have the possible new member landed on a giffgaff page, we can say something like:
"If you only buy a Goodybag, then when you run out of your allowance it will stop and not run up a bill, and if you have remaining credit, that can be used but once that runs out you will not be charged further."
"With giffgaff there are no shocking bank statements."
Hopefully this would lead to lots of new members that otherwise wouldn't have chosen giffgaff and may have moved to Tesco Mobile.

Under Consideration - Countdown?Status: New Idea
We get a lot of replicate ideas here, which tends towards the same thing happening over and over, i.e. we're directed to an older version with loads of kudos already, but which may have been 'under consideration' for months or even years. So we're meant to give kudos so something thats been effectively forgotten? Thats rubbish!
This really does expose two problems - its hard to find old ideas using the search tool, and 'under consideration' is meaningless if good ideas can languish thus for years.
So here's my suggestion - move ideas 'under consideration' into a new forum and put a 90 day countdown on them. After that time let's have a clear answer one way or another from GiffGaff - either its happening or, for the foreseeable future, it isn't. At least this system would be clear.
Voicemail - disable ability to leave messageStatus: New Idea
There are times when you want callers to hear your voicemail greeting but you don't want them to have the ability to leave a message. For example, if you're outside the UK and contactable on another phone number, then you might want to use your voicemail greeting to tell callers your phone number abroad, but you don't want callers to be able to leave you a message. There should be a simple setting within the voicemail settings to enable or disable the ability for callers to leave a message.
When I was on Orange, they offered this; they called it an "extended absence greeting". Giffgaff should offer the same functionality.
Note that this is totally different from dialling 1616 and 1626 to enable or disable voicemail. If you disable voicemail, then callers won't hear your greeting.
Another new ideaStatus: New Idea
Gigabag WarningStatus: New Idea
We see this alot, a member inadvertently buys a gigabag instead of a goodybag.
My idea is simple, when you buy a gigabag, and click PAY, a very large warning bubble comes up to advise you that this is a data only gigabag and has no calls or texts, are you sure you want this product?
Additionally, a warning that this will not add data to an existing live goodybag and will be queued until the live goodybag expires.
1 free goody bag a yearStatus: New Idea
if you top up your phone or buy a goodybag every month it would be good if giffgaff would give you a free goodybag after a year of top ups each month to say thank you for staying with them
New giffgaff simsStatus: New Idea
I just received the new giffgaff trio sim. And even though there is a little guide on the sims, the boundaries between sim/micro/nano, are not clear.See for yourself:
So yes there is a mini guide on the sim, but it is still not clear. Especially as these are close up photos while a person would see them from a good half a metre away.
An example of a clearly marked sim, would be the 3 triple sim which has another color for each rim size around the sim.
My idea is not to ruin the the new branding, but to make it clearer to see the other sizes. you could do this by puting a clear thin line on every layer. And i am almost sure there are many other ways.
Thanks for reading
Please kudo if you agree
Edit: People seem to think that it is clear in the picture. Not everybody has a great eyesight. Plus you are looking at a close up picture. And i cannot put in a bigger picture as giffgaff limits images to a third of mb.
Password hintStatus: New Idea
I've just received about the 20th phone call from my Dad, unsure of what is password is for his gg account (he's only been with gg for about 3 months ). Now, I'm more than happy to help him each and every time, but rather than request a password reset in these situations, couldn't a password hint be made available?
let us know of website problems by textStatus: New Idea
So what do you think?
Contact agent - 'None of the Above' optionStatus: New Idea
Its a good idea to give us a pre-selected group of options to contact an agent. But it does happen that you may need to get in touch with GiffGaff with a matter that is not covered in the menus - and its frustrating to have to quite literally invent nonsense to fill in the forms to then tell you something else in the comments part of the contact form!
Look, just give us a 'none of the above' option with a text submission box at the bottom of the 'contact agent' options drop box. Feel free to add some text to the page telling us that filling in the wrong agent contact may end up making the process take longer, but at least do us the courtesy of giving us the choice not to randomly bounce around an irrelevant set of options.
no self best answerStatus: New Idea
Ok so I don't understand why giffgaff allow us to mark our own answer as the best answer. We are not allowed to give ourselves kudos so why is best answer ok? Alot of people mark their own answer as best answer when they have just put something like "sorted now thanks" if they have explained how they have sorted it so other people can see how it was done fair enough but the majority don't and I suspect a lot do it in the hope of tricking the system by having best answers against their name. So I propose that giffgaff stop allowing us to mark our own answer as best. Anyone agree?
Cap posting of new ideas to one per week per member maximum!Status: New Idea
Methinks this idea requires very urgent rapid implementation. It would stop any unfair repetitive spamming of the ideas board that sometimes occurs.
When a person issues multiple rapid fire ideas (most of which are hastily drafted, poorly written and not researched or considered), it very unfairly pushes other members ideas further down and off the front page prematurely. This prevents the other members ideas from getting a fair exposure time for garnering their needed support kudos.
This ideas board should not be used like some casual chat room affair, sending in every other thought that comes to mind. It is a place to publish carefully considered and developed ideas/suggestions. The true Eureka thoughts. They should have been written carefully, and researched adequately. Truly great ideas don't spring to mind everyday. So one a week limit would be just fine for everyone who comes up with realistic and original proposals IMO.
Please kudos the Orange arrow upper left if you agree
keep gg money+mobile separate!Status: New Idea
This one is simple and straight to the point!
When any of us members signed up to giffgaff we never imagined we'd at some point become part of a loan company and with the ideas of payback being awarded for getting loan customers and for giving advice looking like becoming a reality myself personally I don't want to be involved in something like this and I'm sure plenty of other members feel this way too?
I suggest you totally rethink your loan idea been associated with the giffgaff name and especially stop members giving any advice!
I could state a billion reasons for this but will stick to the obvious.
Your a phone company and that's what we joined. Please keep it that way.
INCLUDE APN SETTINGS ON SLEEVE THAT SUROUNDS SIMSStatus: New Idea
hi there,
I have been with GiffGaff sometime now and i especially love the forums !! we all know that the majority of help questions are about the NEW members having NO INTERNET (sending a great first impression of the network to the new members)
New members don't realise that giffgaff do not send the configuration texts that the big networks do and that we as users have to manually enter them.
I think that when a sim and attached sleeve are sent out or when a member cuts it out to spread the giffgaff love , the sleeve that's is attached to the sim should have a few essential 'need to knows' on it for new members to read.
For example
a simple activation guide, with web address link showing where more detail can be found,
a link to explain the goodybag and airtime difference
but most importantly I feel are the apn settings, they should be printed out on there fully, and a link to where they are on the site.
WHY would you want to do that they can be found online i hear you say
THAT'S ONE OF MY MAJOR SUPPORTING POINTS (aside from the first impression of giffgaff)
I just feel that newbies need to be aware of these settings as some rely on mobile data only and if they cant get access to the net as they need the mobile data and then they suffer as they cant see the settings or enter them until they get online somehow.
I really feel putting the apn settings on the sleeves that surround the sims would be such an advantage to newbies and therefore giffgaff is starting on the right foot as they do say that first impressions stick!
In turn the forum posts about newbies data problems will be reduced and you will have more new customers having a better first experience with giffgaff
I think this would be a great idea to implement as I am always on the forums and its the number one problem I see time and time again
Ability to EDIT Posts on Mobile SiteStatus: New Idea
As I use the Mobile Site for all my contribution to the Forum, I find it a nuisance to have to go to the Full Site to be able to edit my posts.
Is it not possible to incorporate a Edit provision on the Mobile Site?
Please excuse if this has been raised before.
Customize giffgaff websiteStatus: New Idea
I've seen a few posts this morning, with a mixture of people not liking the new website design, some loving it, and some saying they'll get used to it.
My suggestion is that the website is customisable, in that as part of the settings we can choose our own:
Font and colour, background images (or none), colours of buttons (such as the now blue kudos button), etc
I know the giffgaff website/community pages are powered by the Lithium software, but if there was a way to incorporate users being able to choose their own design I feel it would be good.
After all, giffgaff is the network run by us

Every business wants to stand out from the competition and grow, but few actually do. Every professional desires to become more distinctive, yet only a fraction really are.
So, what's the problem? Interestingly, there are some insights from a study of hip hop and rap artists. Scientfic American's website recently reposted an article from Nature on a study of brain scans of rappers that was revealing in terms of creativity.
Researchers Siyuan Liu and Allen Braun, neuroscientists at the US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders in Bethesda, Maryland, and their colleagues had 12 rappers freestyle while connected to a form of MRI machine. Then, they had the rappers recite from memorized lyrics and compared the brain scans.
"We think what we see is a relaxation of 'executive functions' to allow more natural de-focused attention and uncensored processes to occur that might be the hallmark of creativity," said Dr. Braun.
When a customer interacts with you, they seldom stop to assess all of the effort it has taken you to get to that point. Frankly, when I get my Pike Place from Starbucks, I (probably unfortunately) do not often reflect on the coffee growers, shipping barge operators, and delivery truck drivers who made my morning java possible. I simply experience the interaction created for the customer.
Yet, when we want to create distinction by becoming more innovative in how we serve our customers — or a myriad of other aspects in business — our "executive function" thinking usually kicks in. The result is the "we've never done it that way before" or "do you know how much it would take to do that?" syndrome that kills the very type of creativity required to stand out in today's marketplace.
The article states that the study suggests there are two phases to creativity: Phase One is spontaneous and based upon improvisation to create unique ideas and approaches. Phase Two is where we process, revise, and improve our original thoughts.
I'd suggest the problems most often encountered with innovative business thinking is that we: 1) don't want to stretch ourselves by becoming spontaneous and "off the cuff" out of a fear of, 2) the fact we frequently attempt to evaluate and process simultaneously as we create new ideas.
Without "breathing space" between innovation and evaluation, we shut down the flow of our creativity — just as rappers can't concurrently freestyle and analyze their performance.
As the article states, "Michael Eagle, a study co-author who raps under the name Open Mike Eagle, agrees: 'That's kind of the nature of that type of improvisation. Even as people who do it, we're not 100% sure of where we're getting improvisation from.'"
Strange as it may sound, if you want to create distinction…maybe you need to think less like a business professional…and (if only for a little while) think like a rapper.

Our take: Conservative columnist Deroy Murdock pulls together recollections of Mitt Romney's "random acts of kindness and significant feats of bravery."
"Why is Mitt Romney rising? Americans who watched the GOP nominee debate President Obama never met the cold, greedy, sexist, racist, carcinogenic tax cheat that Team Obama promised would appear. The calm, steady, and reasonable gentleman who opposed Obama was no Gordon Gekko.
Americans might like Romney even more if they understood his random acts of kindness and significant feats of bravery. As Mara Gay, Dan Hirschhorn, and M. L. Nestel wrote for TheDaily.com: "A man weighed down by the image of a heartless corporate raider who can't relate to people actually has a history of doing remarkably kind things for those in need."
Murdock went on to list stories about building a playground, helping a single mom whose heating oil had been shut off, helping a friend's daughter with college tuition, aiding a family with two paraplegic sons and helping to find the missing daughter of a colleague.

"The worst of the population of bridges are those rated under four," Hoffman said. "We did make a lot of strides in getting that number down, from 40 in the late 90s to about 20 now. But that's starting to rise again."
The number of bridges in disrepair is rising largely because of the state's ongoing fiscal crisis, Hoffman says.
Currently, DOT is planning bridge and culvert work based on a flat $600 million allocation. Hoffman notes that DOT is looking for funding closer to $700 million to meet its goals in the next five years.
But to bring New York's bridges up to speed, DOT would need about twice as much as it's seeking, Hoffman adds.
"If you look at what we realistically need to make us have a good state of repair where we're not taking the shocks off of people's vehicles and closing bridges - then we're closer to $1.6 billion," he said.
Hoffman told commissioners that in-park bridges require about $25 million worth of repairs. In Essex County alone, 46 bridges have been inspected and given "poor" ratings - including a bridge in Lake Luzerne that crosses the Hudson River and a bridge that carries motorists over the North Branch of the Boquet River.
In the Olympic region, Hoffman says two bridges crossing the West Branch of the AuSable River on state Route 73 will need to be replaced within the next five years.
"We're a little bit worse than most of the upstate regions," Hoffman said. "But I think they're coming to join us."
Jim Bridges - that is his real name - is a regional design engineer for DOT. He says the status of New York's bridges doesn't look good - but the problem persists nationwide.
"The revenue for most transportation projects comes from the federal government - between 80 and 90 percent of our projects are funded by the feds," Bridges said. "That funding is based on the 'gas tax' - which hasn't been touched since the early 90s. And gas use is down. So because that funding is tied directly to the gas tax, the highway trust fund has suffered as well."
Bridges says New York's transportation department, like most agencies, is doing the best it can with what it has.
Although yesterday's presentation focused primarily on bridges and culverts, Hoffman did provide some insight into the status of state highways in the Adirondacks.
He says heavily traveled corridors like state Routes 73 and 86 are stuck in disrepair because DOT is directed its limited funding toward bridges - which Hoffman says present a bigger safety concern than roadways.

They're sharing their journey here:

All staff members were vey nice and helpful and the free breakfast was good. The lady responsible for breakfast seemed especially dedicated and nice to guests.

Try and Try again it never gets better.Posted Nov 25, 2014
Don't be the first one up in the morning. If you are and plan to take a shower you will have to run the hot water for atleast 20 minutes before it warms up. The first time I took a cold shower and reported it but nothing was done about it. The second time the front desk said they would have to check it out. He came in and said yep it was luke warm and he would let maintenance know. The last time I stayed there I didn't even bother notifying anyone. Just got up twenty minutes early and started the water running. For a working man the job usually starts early. They must not know this at this hotel. By the time the breakfast room is open I would already be late. God forbid you go into the room early. The lady who prepares the food gives you the evil eye and tells you that it doesn't open till 6:30. Oh and forget about reading the morning paper with your breakfast. They are all handed out by 6am. Never again.
