The adjacent Fireside Room was also gutted and the walls torn down to create a makeshift food-services room, where students pile their plates and get drink refills.

Four trailers serve as a temporary kitchen, wash area, freezer and refrigerator, with a diesel-powered generator that provides electricity.

Asda has taken delivery of 150 new dual temperature refrigerated semi-trailers from Schmitz Cargobull, for fresh food distribution.

2010-02-28 I-84 accident snarled travelers Friday Poughkeepsie Journal

We had a whole bunch of tractor-trailers that started to back up," said Ted Nadratowski, New York division director for the state Thruway Authority, which maintains I-84. "And we were fighting against heavy, heavy snows. "

The nearby Hess gas station parking lot was full of cars, even though the station had no gas to sell. There was also no hot food or coffee due to a power outage.

He said most people came in looking for food with the stations store selling about 30 sandwiches from 4 a. m. to mid-morning.

The nightmare that became Route I-84 Friday apparently all started around 11 p. m. Thursday when two tractor-trailers jack-knifed on westbound Interstate 84 at milepost 46. 2 near Fishkill. With the highway blocked, and snow intensifying, traffic began to pile up behind the disabled vehicles. - Local News Poughkeepsie NY News local news headlines stories world news

2010-02-26 Highway hijackers target truckers loot

In 2007, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration did not routinely issue public warnings about drugs missing from controlled supply chains. But that policy changed last year as cargo thefts continued to rise.

In Indiana, trailers filled with baby formula, medicine, frozen chicken and energy drinks were swiped last year. Nationally, electronics were the most popular target, accounting for nearly 23 pct. of reported cargo thefts.

Some of the incidents also pose safety concerns for consumers who may unknowingly buy stolen food and medicine that have not been properly stored or refrigerated, experts say.

2010-02-22 The Trades - Movie Review: Shutter Island

Who cryptically warns Teddy that nothing is as it seems, that the food and water and even the cigarettes hes been given are drugged, that his partner was assigned to him to keep an eye on him, that the doctors arent what they appear to be, etc. Teddys confusion gives way to paranoia. To say much more would be a disservice, as there is a twist ending I wasnt expecting.

More and more I find myself avoiding movie trailers. They often give away too much of the plot and sometimes even the twist and theyre often misleading. When I saw the trailer for "Shutter Island," I was intrigued. I dont typically like horror movies, and this looked pretty spooky. But then I see
