Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am, but does anyone know for sure what the Chief was doing up there? was he on a personal trip, or was he on department business? Unless I missed something, it looks like everyone is assuming that he was up there on a personal hunting trip. Has that been established though?

Just priced out flights to and from Las vegas. Airtran roundtrip from Westchester to las vegas was $255 whereas jetblue, desont fly to vegas from westchester. From JFK it is $388.

I think they are as or more concerned with the actual physical technology on board. They should just shuttle harry stamper and his team up there to drill the satellite out.

Just checked it out. appears to be back up.

Don't see why there wouldn't be the penalty. You are still buying your ticket on the train. Now I just wish they would put ticket machines on both sides of the tracks, at my local station. Rather than two machines on the new york bound side.

Not to sound callous, I am sorry that his friends and family have to go through this pain, but does anyone know the status of The Dark Knight? Did Heath finish filming before his death?

Hopefully this is not true, just O&A messing around. The last time K-Rock changed formats, it was horrible. Absolutely horrible. David Lee roth was unlistenable. In my opinion, Opie and Anthony are not much better. The only good spot in the Free FM wasteland, was the Booker show. Now, K-rock is back, and hoepfully will stay. The only thing they need to do is get rid of Opie and Anthony.

One pet peeve I have in today's "paperless" society. Is people that have email as their preferred mode of contact, then dont respond to emails. For example, if this explorer advisor had told Mike to email him, rather than say call him or send a letter, then apparently hasnt responded in a timely manner. I feel there is absolutely no excuse for this. If the guy told him to email, then he should be expecting his email. The only question here, is "what is a timely manner"? Judging by the posts on here that can vary. I would say give him a week. You sent the email sunday. If you dont hear from him by sunday send another email, and include somehow that this is the second email. Or go talk to the guy face to face. Why can't you just show up to a meeting early and talk to the guy? emails do occasionally get lost in the ether of the internet. Just my opinion.

Great work! Loads super quick.

Was just thinking the same exact thing about your post, Moose.

Well, I read the entire thread so far. And in all honesty, I only see one post that is disrepectful. And it doesn't disrespect the firefighter that died. In fact, not one post in this thread disrepespects or does anything to cheapen his sacrifice. I see posts about what department SOP/Sog's are, posts about who governs that type of statute, losts of posts about osha, etc. But nothing remotely negative about what happened in Pennsylvania. Firefighting is a life and death business. All firefighters know that. Why shouldn't we try to lessen the number of deaths? Why shouldn't we discuss what happened, what went wrong, what went right? I feel that the time to do this is now. While the incident is still fresh in peoples minds. I understand some people are sensitive, and believe that talking about an incident where someone has died before a certain undetermined amount of time has elapsed is disrespectful. What I feel is disrespectful is NOT talking about the incident. NOT learning from the incident. Do you really think that, as some one so eloquently put it, "guys that crawl down hallways with the same guys day in and day out" would want their brothers to not discuss what happened to them rather than learn from what happened, so that perhaps someone else may not perish? I really dont think thats a hard question to answer.

Care to repeat that? Oh, and by "preparing for their next victim" do you mean breaking out the video cameras?

This is great news!! Dont forget that Third Watch is scheduled to come out with its first season on DVD the following tuesday, February 5.

Been having this happen to me the last couple of days. Hit refresh, the page always comes up. Checked out .com and saw the banner. It loaded ALOT faster than it ever has before for me.

Reporter said he was standing out of frame. My guess is he probably didnt want to stand in the middle of what appears to be a pretty dangerous intersection.

Must have looked like a clown car with 32 people piled in the truck.

I imagine it is possible that some portion of the seatbelt failed.

They should play by all the rules. Th eproblem seems to be that there are decades old policies already in place that the new border policies do not seem to address. Whether all it takes is a call from the requesting countrie's side to the border guards about the incident, or something else is what needs to be addressed. Personally I think there needs to be some check done at the border. I think the 8 minute delay was at the actual border crossing, waiting to get through.

Thanks for the link, Danger. This is the best writeup of the CPAT that i have seen on the web, as well as videos of the stations too. I appreciate the postign of this very useful link.

First time i saw it, I said to myself, why are they taking EMPTY boxes?

Doesn't that require a land line though? I'm not sure how it works if you call 911 from a cellphone. They use the gps in the phone to route the call? Anyone able to enlighten me?

Exactly my first thought when I read the original post.

Are there no administrative positions in the NYSP? I wouldn't say there are large numbers of 60+ troopers working, but I imagine there are a couple in the upper ranks. I could be wrong though. Anyone with any firsthand knowledge?
