| Perth Amboy police officer dies in Route 1 car crash | | 2008-08-22 18:01:00 | | If you listened to the traffic reports this morning, you likely heard about the accident on Route 1 in Woodbridge involving a Perth Amboy police car. The Star-Ledger is now reporting one officer died and another is being treated for serious injuries. The officer who died is Thomas Raji, 31. Mr. Raji was married to another Perth Amboy police officer, who at present is pregnant with the couple's child.
The accident happened at the intersection of Route 1 and Green Street. A car traveling west on Green plowed into the police car, which was traveling south on Route 1. Reports say it's not immediately clear whether the police or the other car involved had right of way.
In an incredible twist of fate, the driver of the second car, 23-year-old Sean McGuirk, of Colonia, is brother to a Woodbridge police officer.

| | Soccer Player DUI Bust En Route to Practice | | 2008-04-02 03:04:09 | | If you're in a bar and dragged into a discussion over what constitutes a sport and the waitress can't come quickly enough with your bill so that you can extricate yourself from the situation--- without suffering a pounding headache in addition to the one you've already sustained from the pitchers of stale beer--here are two definitions that will serve you well:1. If you perspire during play, it's a sport (this disqualifies baseball and cricket).[Editor's note: If the horse perspires, this doesn't count. If you're playing patio darts and you perspire, it doesn't count either] 2. If you're able to quaff a beer without interrupting the course of play, it's not a sport (this includes bowling, darts and the aforementioned baseball and cricket).That being said, this doesn't diminish the athletic achievements of one John Daly, spotlighted earlier in the first installment of our Boozing Athletes series, whose ability to swing a golf club while simultaneously pinching the bottoms of clubhouse s | | By: The Shark Guys | | |

| | Bills Taking Youth Route at Cornerback | | 2008-03-11 14:24:13 | | Is Youboty the new nickel back? (BuffaloBills.com) When the 2006 season wrapped up, the Buffalo Bills had one big-name free agent on the market that many felt shouldn't be afforded the opportunity to walk: cornerback Nate Clements. Clements eventually signed with the San Francisco 49ers, and the Bills "rebounded" by relying on veterans Jason Webster and Kiwaukee Thomas, as well as their own developed starter, Terrence McGee. A year later, there's no more veteran influence at the position. Clements is a distant memory, and neither Webster (signed with New England) or Thomas (released by the team) are expected back. In fact, there are only four cornerbacks currently on Buffalo's roster, and the most tenured of them is McGee. A full year removed from cornerback being a team strength, the position has a starkly different look heading into the 2008 season.

| | The new bus lane in route d'Esch | | 2008-03-10 17:18:15 | | Some facts about the new most discussed bus lane in route d'Esch:1. When you have two lanes of traffic and you decide that one of them is going to be used only by buses (and by bicycles, it seems), you can not expect that all the drivers that were previously using that lane will leave their car at home and jump into the next bus. You can expect bigger traffic jams in the only lane now open for private cars.2. We have a diesel pollution problem (in Luxembourg, high levels of nitrogen dioxide, in Brussels, fine particles: that's the geography of money - new diesel cars with particle filters here, old diesel cars without particle filters in Belgium - both very polluting and bad for your lungs, although "environmental-friendly" and government-supported because of the lower levels of CO2).3.

| | Ireland en route to Dallas | | 2008-01-15 10:40:09 | | **UPDATE**: The Palm Beach Post is also now reporting that Ireland is on his way to Dallas to pick up Sparano after Sparano concluded a coaches meeting: A source confirmed new Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland left for Dallas on one of Wayne HuizengaÂ’s planes a few hours ago to pick up Sparano and bring him back to South Florida. Ireland and Sparano met on Jan. 5 in Dallas, but Huizenga and Bill Parcells, who doesnÂ’t like to fly, have not spoken with Sparano face to face about the head-coaching opening. That should change tonight. You get the feeling that he'll be our new head coach within 24-48 hours, don't you? [end update] Armando Salguero continues to offer up the latest on the Dolphins coaching search. So what is the latest? It seems as though Jeff Ireland has boarded one of Wayne Huizenga's jets and is off to Dallas to pick up Tony Sparano. Salguero estimates that Ireland and Sparano will be back in Miami sometime between 6 and 7 pm. From there, the Dolphins will likely wine and dine Sparano and perhaps even have him meet with Huizenga for the first time. According to Salguero, Sparano's agent already has a preliminary contract that he would accept for Sparano. This contract "includes something of a raise" from what the first time head coaches got last year. So now we continue to wait. But it's very likely that our next head coach will be arriving in Miami later this evening. | | By: The Phinsider | | |

| | Chennai MTC Volvo City Buses-Photos, Timetable and Route Info | | 2007-09-17 07:58:00 | | This post gives you all available information related to newly introduced Volvo City Buses by MTC Chennai. Since my earlier post on Bangalore Volvo City buses was extremely popular I thought I'll write a similar post on Chennai Volvo. So here we go. [Quick jump to Routes|time-table section ]It’s the same B7RLE variant of Volvo transit bus which is rocking Bangalore roads that has hit Chennai roads. If you ask me, the dashing red coloured Volvo in Bangalore, covered further with advertisements, looks a bit more attractive than the pale white colour Chennai Metropolitan has chosen. Nevertheless, it should be a good experience to Chennai commuters. (Even Singapore and several other countries use this same model...)MTC has purchased 10 Volvo B7RLEs as of now(Rs 78 lakh each, expensive than B7R inter city coaches). Only 5 are operational as of now-2 on 21G (Tambaram to Broadway), 2 on E-18 route (Broadway to Guduvancheri) and one on Route number 19 (Broadway to Kelambakkam). No official time table has been released. They keep plying on the designated routes. Ticket prices are at par with Bangalore (though diesel is cheaper in Chennai) starting Rs 10. (Makes more economical than unrully overpriced meterless autos in Chennai) APSRTC: Are you watching?Timetable: MTC Chennai has not issued any consolidated Time Table for Volvo Services, but I have learnt that they have placed some boards displaying departure timing of the Volvo buses at each bus terminal where a Volvo service originates/ends. One such board, found at Broadway station can be seen in the image below. But please note, these Volvo buses are under no obligation to honour these timings. When I took these photos at Broadway at 1120 hours I was thinking I have to wait for another 45 minutes for next bus. But surprisingly at 1130 a Volvo bus of route number 21G came in and it left the station at 1140. I’m not sure if the 1105 bus came in late or 1215 bus came in early, but verdict is that timetable is not reliable. Also I could see no mention of E-18 route time table (Broadway to Guduvancheri)Bangalore has a SMS based location identification service for Volvo city buses. Hope Chennaities can expect similar service (details here). Ticket Fare: From Broadway to Chamiers Road costed me Rs. 23 (Rs 5 in ordinary bus) While Bangalore BMTC Volvo conductors speak fluent English, Chennai MTC Volvo conductor with whom I spoke managed to utter few English words. The bus was running with less than 25% occupancy with which MTC might just be breaking even. As of now no advertising is to be found on these Volvos while BMTC is caching in on that front too.Other observations: Emergency Exit door is positioned at an unusual place-the ventilator on roof top. Not sure how practical it will be to use that door for emergency exit because if it is very inconvenient to exit through that tiny door. (It is more practical to break those gigantic windows and escape in case of emergency, assuming one manages to break them!)Cameras and Fire alarms have been provided. The central floor is extremely spacious to accomodate luggage, people with wheel chair or even a stretcher. Journey is smooth and comfortable. The driver steers the Volvo as if he's driving a car!! Almost everyone on the roadside-Other drivers, traffic police, general public, everyone turn their head and stare at Volve as it passes by. If you sit near Window you can hope to gain some popularity.Chennai MTC (Metropolitan Transport Corporation) Official website:(The website is not yet updated with Volvo related information)Full list of all Chennai route numbers can be found here: (not yet updated with Volvo routes)Related posts: Why BMTC is faring better than its rivals| Bangalore Volvo City Buses| Bangalore-Hyderabad by BusNo Volvos yet on Chennai's IT superhighway (MadhyaKailash to Sholingnallur).

| | New and Improved Route for Oceania and Asia | | 2007-08-06 08:00:33 | | After getting a little frustrated trying to figure out how to approach Tibet from Nepal during the first 6 months of my backpacking trip around the world, I’ve come to develop a new and improved route. I had posted my quandary on the RTW branch of the Lonely Planet forum, and received some feedback which sent me in a new direction.
Without further ado…
New Zealand (fly, Dec 07)
Australia (fly, Dec-Jan 08)
Bali, Indonesia (fly, Jan)
Singapore (fly, Feb)
Hong Kong (fly, Feb)
China (overland, Feb-March)
Tibet (overland, March)
Nepal (overland, April)
India (overland, May)
Thailand (fly, June)
Cambodia (overland, July)
Vietnam (overland, July-Aug)
South Africa (fly via Bangkok, Aug)
The fact that I continue to make major changes to my route with less than 4 months go to underlines my desire to remain flexible.

| | Recapture of the Philadelphi Route Is Proposed to stop the Hamas Horror Show from Moving forward | | 2007-06-25 09:59:00 | | More and more Israeli commentators are frankly admitting that Israel’s pull-out from Gaza in the summer of 2005 was an open invitation to the forces of radical Islam to set up house in the defenseless territory. A former Israeli national security adviser Gen (ret.) Giora Eiland argues now that the influx of tons of smuggled weapons and explosives into Gaza Strip must be halted at any price. There is a real danger of Hamas importing reinforcements from Syria and Lebanon for its next offensive. Egypt will, as usual, stand aside. Eiland was the only defense official at the time to oppose disengagement as a recipe for bringing Iran and al Qaeda to Israel’s borders. Having been proved correct, he now proposes to limit the damage by recapturing the Philadelphi route and the southern outskirts of Palestinian Rafah, flatten the houses there and evict 15,000-20,000 people. This option would give Israel the chance to start combating Hamas at a point from which the IDF enjoys a position of st | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
| | Google take the security route with a security blog | | 2007-05-23 16:43:53 | | Google have now started their own security blog. Using their own blogging service they started the blog a few days ago:
“Online security is an important topic for Google, our users, and anyone who uses the Internet. The related issues are complex and dynamic and we’ve been looking for a way to foster discussion on the topic and keep users informed. Thus, we’ve started this blog where we hope to periodically provide updates on recent trends, interesting findings, and efforts related to online security. Among the issues we’ll tackle is malware, which is the subject of our inaugural post.” - Google Online Security Blog
Is this a good thing? I don’t see why not. A big organisation, like Google, bringing security and malware into the spotlight even more will certainly help us wage the war against malware. Do you think it is a good or bad thing? Whatever your opinion is, let us know!

| | The Bridges of Merit Parkway Route 15 Connecticut | | 2007-02-15 05:31:00 | | A trip to New Canaan Connecticut on Tuesday featured a drive down the old Merit Parkway, a road which boasts an interesting series of the most finely crafted bridges you will find in one place. Every single one has architectural detail, every one is different, every one has a badge or engraving or emblem or plaque. Sometimes you must look closely to see it. To combat boredom and sleepiness, I went to the trouble of shooting a picture of most every one between exits 53 and 37.

| | Life and Death on Route 95, or East Coast Sports Fans | | 2007-01-10 17:32:28 | | Last night I was channel surfing on the car radio, because I forgot to bring my cool Sirius receiver with me. I happened upon 92.3 FM, a New York station called WFNY. They refer to themselves as “Free FM.” There was a show on that the hosts kept referring to as “Ronninfess,” though I have since discovered the show is hosted by Ron Bennington and Fez Whatley. I spent about 20 minutes listening to them whine about Tiki Barber’s decision to retire from football. They accused him of deserting the city of New York, deserting his teammates when they were so close to a championship caliber team (that was a bit of a stretch on Ron and Fez’s part), and they accused Tiki of not being a man and being able to take his physical punishment in return for the big paycheck he received from playing football. They also mentioned that Sterling Sharpe had hung around the game too long, which is false, since he was forced to retire after either 6 or 7 years be | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
