By Joseph Bell - Record Editor –
In an effort to avoid raising taxes for the first time in roughly a decade, members of the Ridgway Borough Council on Monday were pondering ways to cut spending and curbside recycling found its way to the chopping block. Not a smart move. While no official decisions were made during the Monday night meeting on either raising taxes or cutting curbside recycling, the writing is on the wall: Extensive cuts are needed to balance the budget, and even that might not be enough to avoid a tax hike.
By Joseph Bell Record Editor – A study released over the summer has confirmed what I think a lot of the population already knew: Turn signal neglect is causing millions of crashes each year, with no end in sight.
By Joseph Bell Record Editor
Somebody somewhere made another awful mistake. Enter Mike Zilkofski, a family man living in Johnsonburg, working at the paper mill, working his way up, providing for his family. He doubles as the resilient head coach of Johnsonburg's girls' varsity basketball team for the past five years, a squad of stars who have advanced to the playoffs in four of the last five seasons.
By Joseph Bell - Record Editor - Several Elk County residents placed calls to emergency services personnel and law enforcement agencies Sunday night regarding what they described as a loud "boom." Although the source of the noise was initially attributed to seismic testing for Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling, no cause or explanation has formally been discovered. According to several news sources, residents called 911 to report feeling and hearing a blast in Johnsonburg around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday evening.
By Joseph Bell - Record Editor - I think the public outcry regarding gaming violations against Ridgway police officer Shawn Geci has become nothing short but absolutely ridiculous. It has reached the point now where newspaper publications are being ridiculed for publishing the truth. This is just another shameful case where if someone hears something that is bad, they don't want to see it in a newspaper; let's just cover it up. The facts are that an officer of the law was cited for gaming violations and was tried in a court of law, and subsequently found guilty.
By Joseph Bell – Record Editor – Enough is enough already. Far too often (at the local level in Pennsylvania high school basketball) we've seen an opposing team build a two-possession lead and attempt to run the clock out with four minutes left in the game. A shot clock for Pennsylvania high school basketball is long overdue... to be fair... let's say 40 seconds.

"Life is a combination of magic and pasta."
- Federico Fellini
A couple of years ago, I traveled to Bologna to visit a cousin. Based a little ways outside the main city, the family home was situated amidst a gently rolling landscape populated with apricot trees and vineyards. While I was there, I thought to myself that if I ever left the United States for retirement, it might just be to Italy. The weather was wonderful – hot enough to make you want to swim but not hot enough to be unbearable and the food was out of this world! There were a number of firsts on that trip, including my first taste of limoncello. However, one of my most memorable food experiences was tasting fresh tortellini made by a lady just down the road.

What tipped you off?
Well ok, this was something of a shock:
The first game I went to I almost had my ass stomped in for not singing the songs.. I barely spoke any Italian let alone Sicilian. Pretty strange when a bunch of dudes wearing pink and sporting ridiculous haircuts start to fuck with you for not singing. but i had to learn, it was hard at first. This is where I learned how to roll hash spliffs, while trying to comprehend what these psychos were saying. Lots of riots, split heads, fireworks and thuggery that I had not really seen in such mass. It seems everyone goes to the games for a different reason. Cops love to fuck with hooligans, hooligans dont even watch the game, they pace the aisles rallying up the troops and changing chants; upper society sits in the covered seats (it tends to rain in Sicily), and everyone in between sits in the curves, where its all good. You can do practically anything in Renzo Barbera stadium; its a fucking madhouse.

The Tensilon test is a method to help diagnose myasthenia gravis .
A medicine called Tensilon (also called edrophonium) or a dummy medicine (inactive placebo) is given during this test. The health care provider gives the medicine through one of your veins (intravenously, through an IV). You may also be given a medicine called atropine before receiving Tensilon so that you do not know you are getting the medicine.
You will be asked to perform some muscle movements over and over again, such as crossing and uncrossing your legs or getting up from a sitting position in a chair. The health care provider will check whether the Tensilon improves your muscle strength. If you have weakness of the eye or face muscles, the effect of the Tensilon on this will also be monitored.
The test may be repeated and you may have other Tensilon tests to help tell the difference between myasthenia gravis and other conditions.
No special preparation is usually necessary. Follow your health care provider's instructions about how to prepare.
You will feel a sharp prick as the IV needle is inserted. The drug may cause a feeling of a churning of the stomach or a slight feeling of increased heart rate, especially if Atropine is not given first.
The test helps:
The test may also be done for conditions such as Lambert-Eaton syndrome .
In many patients with myasthenia gravis, the muscles will improve right after the Tensilon. The improvement lasts only a few minutes. For some types of myasthenia, Tensilon can make the weakness worse.
When the disease gets worse enough to need treatment (myasthenic crisis), there is a brief improvement in muscle strength.
When there is an overdose of anticholinesterase (cholinergic crisis), Tensilon will make the person even weaker.
The medicine used during the test may cause side effects, including fainting or breathing failure. This is why the test is done by a health care provider in a medical setting.

Taylor Swift is one of music's biggest and best-selling artists, but she can't claim to be one of this year's Academy of Country Music Award winners.
And some on Twitter couldn't be happier.
As Miranda Lambert won four awards and Luke Bryan nabbed the fan-voted Entertainer of the Year honor over Swift, who's won it twice before, the 23-year-old singer went home empty-handed.
Viewers online didn't hold back:
"I know why Taylor Swift is at the ACM's. she's there so she can learn what real country music is," said one observer. Agreed another, "I'm Not Sure If I'm Happier That Luke Bryan Won ... Or That Taylor Swift Didn't #GetOutOfCountry."
That Twitter user wasn't alone in feeling joy at the Swift shut-out during the ceremony. "I am so happy Taylor Swift didn't get anything this year," said Your Southern Darlin.
"Dear God, someone hand Taylor Swift a random award before she writes an album detailing her breakup with the Academy of Country Music," said Nascarscasm.
At least everyone loved her dress.

Design is a critical variable in urban life and is often excluded in the development of urban policy as it negotiates the space between physical reality and vision of what is possible. As Legacy Cities re-examine their futures, incorporating design strategies and processes into earlier stages of policy development will lead to better outcomes than treating design as a result of policy. The J. Max Bond Center has partnered with The American Assembly on the Legacy City Design Initiative focused on researching and cataloguing design strategies and interventions that will regenerate these cities who chronically struggle with population loss and excessive land vacancy.
As part of this initiative, The J. Max Bond Center co‐hosted the 2013 Bruner Loeb Forum which focused on Legacy City Design bringing together over 100 participants from 12 different Legacy Cities to share current design projects and generate new design ideas for Legacy Cities.

Kevin Cavenaugh, an intern with FFA, bought an undeveloped urban infill lot and turned it into two live/work buildings, with commercial spaces (currently a bakery and a wine bistro) on the ground floors and loft apartments above. "I've always wanted to design a building with garage doors and radiant heated concrete floors," says Cavenaugh. "So I decided to be my own client and just do it."
Commercial garage doors were custom-fit with argon-filled glazing; 8-inch-thick concrete floors are the sole heat source. As a pleasant surprise after the design was complete, FFA discovered the project qualifies for the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

Olly Bridge and Maxime Nocher take the cake at the ISAF sailing World Cup in Abu Dhabi!
The ISAF sailing World Cup is one of the most prestigious race events on the calendar, and was hosted last week in the decadent location of Abu Dhabi. 20 of the world's top Kite racer's gathered to compete in a 4 day high speed showdown, along with other Olympic sailing classes.
For Kiteboarding to be integrated and included in such a reputable event and embraced by the Olympic sailing world is always encouraging for the sport as a whole.
Thanks to textbook race conditions, Stage 1 – which was completed on the first day – took the form of 4 fleet races in order to determine a seeding for Stage 2. Stage 2 has undertaken a new format known as Short Track, a series of 40 elimination heats to ascertain the top 10 riders to compete in the Finals.
On Medal Race Day, North Team Riders Maxime Nocher and Olly Bridge found themselves going head to head for 1st and 2nd place, with the added pressure of the $10,000 cash prize for the winner.
Both athletes put in star performances, and showed immense skill in keeping calm as the nerves and tensions built. With the finish line in sight, Olly steamed ahead to take gold and Maxime silver.
A huge congratulations goes to both Team Riders, who have show a lot of dedication to their sport this season!
*check the half finals and finals (5h 15min)
North Rider Olly Bridge dominates Asian Race Continental Championships in Qatar
For the first time ever, Kite Racing went to the Gulf where the hosting nation of Qatar put on a great show for the 5 day event! Athletes from over 26 countries competed for the Asian Continental Championship title, where challenging light-wind conditions proved tough. Going into the Medal Race day in 1st place, Olly needed four clean races to come out on top. Riding the North Race Ltd 69, Olly was full steam ahead securing his bullet, and taking 1st in the under 18's & Under 21's.
Steph had a good regatta, although she struggled to hold rival Eleanor Kalinina from Russia off. Both riders were on equal points as they went into the final race, but light winds proved tough, leaving Steph in 2nd place at the end of the event.
The North Team Riders will return to the Gulf in ten days time for the ISAF World Cup Finals, where the top 20 competitors from across the globe will race the new Short Track format.
Olly Bridge shines at the Kitesurf Tour Europe
North Kiteboarding team rider Olly Bridge travelled out to Italy for the second and last stop of the Kitesurf Tour Europe, held on Hang loose beach in Gizzeria. Riders such as current World Champion Florian Gruber and African Champion Riccardo Leccese, had also made it to Italy to compete. With Olly already familiar with the spot and kiting conditions, he was ready when the event started.
The event started with light thermal winds, perfect for the course racers. They managed to run five races with Olly securing four bullets and a 2nd place. With such a strong performance on the first day, he was in a very good position to do well in whole event.
Second day of competition had very similar conditions to the first. The wind was light in the morning so again, perfect for the course racers. Olly again started the day strong, winning the first two races by good distance. He led the third race of the day, but on the final reach to the finish line hit a plastic bag and was overtaken by Florian Gruber. This unfortunate glitch, put Olly back into second place in this race. After the three races the wind picked up enough to run the freestyle single elimination, and by the end of the day Olly was sitting comfortably in first position in the overall ranking.
The third day of competition brought a completely different set of conditions. The wind was light and off shore so again, the course racers were first to start. The wind was light so all the riders opted to take their bigger kites but, during the race the conditions changed. The wind increased up to 30 knots with big gusts seeing Olly switch down to his 7m Dyno for the next race where he managed to win event. Because of the good wind the racing was put on hold and the Freestyle Double Elimination got underway. After the Freestyle had finished the organisers decided to run one final course race. The conditions were unchanged so taking his 7m Dyno, Olly won the last race of the day.
The fourth and final day of competition saw cross onshore 8-12 knots, and as the Freestyle competition had finished the whole day was dedicated to the course racers. Managing to run four races, Olly won three with one second place.
Winning this event puts Olly in a very good position for the World Championships in three weeks' time.
North American Championships - San Francisco
North dominates the first KTE Stop in Almanarre France
Almanarre, the neighborhood of St. Tropez was the perfect start into an exciting season for the NKB team! Let´s get it on! With the two first days of wind, sun, 95 riders from over 14 countries coming to the South of France – Almanarre Kitemasters finished with a full freestyle event and 8 counted course races. The tour started with 46 racers - 39 men and 7 women – as well as 49 freestylers - 37 men and 12 women. The first edition of the European tour stop on the Côte d'Azur was a great event with a parallel execution of the two disciplines. The first day brought strong 30-35 knots. The action was intense right from the beginning and it started early in the morning with both competitions. Freestylers were riding with 7 meters kites and after, to get used to the conditions, the spectators could seen some awesome tricks. North Kiteboarding rider Stefan Spiessberger (Austria), who was unfortunately kicked-off in round 4 in the single elimination, fought his way back straight through the doubles and won unstoppable six heats, until the quarter final, when he was beaten by Liam Whaley (Spain).
The final in the doubles featured Mario Rodwald, NKB (Germany) against Whaley. Both of these riders have had an amazing start and demonstrated great progression over the wintertime. That heat was full of power, variety and action for the beach crowd. With a great powerful double S-Bend Pass and a Low Mobe 5, Mario got it and won the first European tour stop. Congratulations!
The final women's heat took place between Sabrina Lutz, NKB (Germany) and title-holder 2012 Annelous Lammerts (Netherlands), when Sabrina crashed her kite and Annelous advanced. A super women final was announced and finally the first women tour stop title goes to Germany and North Kiteboarding as well - Sabrina Lutz (NKB).
Focusing on course racing, the first two competition days were quite eventful. Racers entered the water early, hungry for days full of racing action. With regard to the rough sea, the course provided tactical challenges that made not only spectacular for racing, but excellent spectating as well.
On day one, French rider Maxime Nocher (NKB) won three of four races followed by Julien Kerneur, also from France. British race legend Steph Bridge, also NKB from UK, holds first place positioning, while Dutch rider Katja Roose followed her on second place. The riders were always quite close and handled out arresting battles. The second day was a smoother running. Some kites moved in perfect synchronization alongside one another. With the fleet on bigger kites, Maxime Nocher, Julien Kerneur, Blazej Ozog and Florian Gruber were riding close to each other in rotational positioning. Day three and four, brought a bout of very light, or better, no wind.
The course director adapted due to these light conditions. But unfortunately they realized their wishful thinking did not materialize. The wind didn't pick up the last two last days. In a nutshell, ten races were sailed, with two discards in total. French rider Maxime Nocher (NKB) at first and Blazej Ozog, also NKB on third position. Congratulations!
The women´s fleet, was lead by Steph Bridge (UK). Steph crossed five times the finish line first and dominated the event. Like so many times before.
The end of the first MINI KTE event was marked with the closing ceremony and the distribution of the trophies and prize money. It could not have been a better way to start the season with a grateful event and tough conditions in the beginning.
The next stop of the season is on the German island Sylt. The rough Northern Sea and strong winds will be a perfect spot for the 2nd stop of the year, from 2nd July to 7th July.
Congratulations to all the participating North Kiteboarding riders!!

Aquarian wrote:Cole, I cannot count the many times that I have rolled on the floor, and lost my ass laughing on the count of the indignation coming from some of the members here in regards to the Obama Administration's filth and degenerate corruption; very akin to the Bush Administration's degenerate nature.
"New Boss, Same as the Old Boss" has no meaning to some people here, and to suggest a Republican victory this November will "drain the swamp" (something Nancy Pelosi said about a Democratic victory in 2006) is delusional...
Well some of the stuff here is pretty obvious, it's not quite as bad as it was when I first joined up. I think there are now only a dozen or so active posters where there used to be a lot more.
But yes I agree with your assessment. Usually a good rule of thumb are simple open ended questions, only here they go unanswered, that to me, speaks volumes in regard to actual knowledge of the topic at hand.
I write it off to a psychological issue some have with the internet, forum boards in particular. It's as if the compulsion to say something is more than some people can actually bear. I try to steer clear of some topics due to my ignorance of the subject or just disinterest in general, but this Politics thing might be more than even I can bear.
Oh well maybe the tune would be different if they actually had the guts to admit that Today's harvest was seeded by the Bush Administration but somehow I think they are in denial. I'll not venture a guess as to what the real cause of that is for fear of being labeled a name calling know it all. I guess if everything was taken in stride, or seen in the intended context, that there would only be 3 or 4 posters left alive. So on one hand maybe leaving them to their devices is actually a good thing, a good thing for the boards sake anyway.
Does anybody here know who President Obama went to work for right out of college---First and only real job? Anyone? I bet the lack of information in the general area is a real head scratcher, only if you ask why that is will you then come to grips with WHO he really is.
" Meet the New Boss " " Same as the Old Boss " indeed!
Frosty: The word propaganda is the beef, but you knew that already. May I ask: Have you prayed for Glenn?
Should you ever contact him ask him about the mini ice age, the one that seems to be imminent!

Zagreb is a city where the cultural life is intense and where art is everywhere: from historical theaters to modern showrooms, from museums to outdoor events. To have an idea of the Croatian capital's cultural importance suffices to say that the city has 24 museums, 19 theaters and 65 galleries.
In Zagreb the theater is very significant and it's unforgivable not to know the National Theater (www.hnk.hr), stage where many famous actors and actresses have been, but that also hosts ballet shows and opera. The Kerempuh (www.kazalistekerempuh.hr), the Komedija (www.komedija.hr), or the Merlin (www.kazalistemerlin.hr) are just three more rooms with their own program, but since the taste for the arts should be cultivated from a young age, there is no lack of stages dedicated to attracting younger people, like the Zagreb's Marionette Theater (www.ykl.hr), the Ribica (www.cmr.hr) or Dubrava (www.kazalistedubrava.hr). The dozens of art galleries and museums constitute one other proof of the appreciation that Croatians have for a broad range of artistic displays. Arts, archeology, craftwork, ethnography and science are some of the area with their own and well assessed museums, but the most unusual is the Broken Relationships Museum (www.new.brokenships.com), which exhibits objects like wedding gowns, photographs and typical present from couples in love, like teddy bears or even pink handcuffs. Music is also everywhere and the events calendar has no breaks. Squares and churches often host shows and, in the summer, outdoor festivals multiply. The Philharmonic, the Zagreb Quartet and the Chamber Choir are already city symbols. Showrooms like the Vatroslav Lisinski Pavillion (www.lisinski.hr) and the Croatia's Music Institute (www.hageze.org) contribute towards a pretty booked agenda.

Europe Randy Gramlich , October 07, 2013 "Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "
Europe Jay Steffan , September 24, 2013 "We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy. We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

The movable, perforated metal skin of this 12-unit, mixed-use building in Los Angeles captured the judges' attention. "It's very elegant," said one juror. "A very nice solution." Architecture firm Brooks + Scarpa devised the owner-controlled, bifold aluminum panels as a way of increasing the project's engagement with the street, from various points of view. "As you move past it at different speeds—walking and in the car—you get a different perception of the façade," says principal Lawrence Scarpa, FAIA. The skin also provides shading and privacy while allowing natural light, fresh air, and views.

Sponsored Billing
Students whose educational expenses will be paid by a sponsor (defined as outside organizations, Harvard affiliated hospitals, institutions, employers, etc; not internal Harvard departments using a 33-digit code) must submit the following sponsored billing information.
The Sponsored Billing Form is to be completed by the organization/institution (sponsor contact/s) providing financial support to the student who will be attending the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health during the academic year 2014-15 and/or 2015-16. The institution will then be billed directly by Harvard University for the expenses incurred. Any sponsored forms submitted directly from the student will not be accepted.

To ensure financial clearance for students during registration/orientation, please submit the Sponsored Billing Form by the date below based off the start date/program.
NEW Online MPH-EPI | June 2015 | April 1, 2015 |

Other Important Information
Sponsors and students are responsible to review the following information:
- Policy for Sponsored Students: All students who will be sponsored for the upcoming academic year will not have their expected sponsor payment reflected as anticipated aid on their term bill. Due to multiple billing policies, students who submit their sponsored billing form on time will be insured registration clearance. Any charges that are not covered by your sponsor will be required to be paid prior to the start of classes (for the upcoming semester). Your bill will continue to reflect a balance due while you are attending your classes; and your sponsor will be billed at the end of each semester for which you are enrolled.
- Sponsors should be specific about the items they have agreed to pay as well as indicate the academic term/s to which the award applies (i.e. fall only, spring only, full academic year, full length of program).
- The TUITION DEPOSIT is a MANDATORY deposit that must be paid to the Admissions Office in order to secure the student's place in the class. This deposit is nonrefundable and any credit that arises from this deposit will be automatically refunded to the student. Sponsors seeking back these funds will have to secure from the student directly. THIS DEPOSIT CANNOT BE WAIVED.
- The Student Accounts Office will invoice the sponsor for the items they have agreed to pay for current and future terms. Please note that sponsors cannot be billed for fees NOT charged on the term bill** nor for past terms. When payment is received from the sponsor, your account will be credited with the amount of the sponsor payment. (** Therefore, if a sponsor wishes to pay for living/other expenses, the check for those educational costs must go directly to the student.)
- Each student with a financial sponsor will continue to receive a monthly student billing statement for personal records. DO NOT SEND THIS STUDENT BILLING STATEMENT TO YOUR SPONSOR. Your sponsor will be billed separately and directly. You are responsible for paying items on the bill that the sponsor will not be paying. In addition, if your sponsor fails to pay the agreed upon amount, you will be responsible for paying all charges on your account.
Contact Information
For ALL sponsor-related questions (i.e invoices, payments received, etc.) please contact Crystal Eason in the Student Accounts Office at 617-495-4541 or email@example.com.
For questions regarding: registration clearance or to check on the status of your submission of the Sponsored Billing Online Form please contact Shannon Kirwan in the Office of Student Financial Services at 617-432-1987 or email@example.com.

Last week I wrote about moving beyond electrical modeling to get more information about system behavior. To illustrate some of the basics, we looked at a portion of an incandescent lamp model which showed declarations for some of the lamp's thermal properties. At the end of the post, I promised to illustrate some of the discussion with an example of an automotive emergency flasher system. Before diving … Read More

Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology. Membership is open to graduate and undergraduate men and women who are making the study of psychology one of their major interests and who meet the minimum qualifications. Psi Chi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Psychological Society (APS). Psi Chi's sister honor society is Psi Beta, the national honor society in psychology for community and junior colleges.
Psi chi functions as a federation of chapters located at more than 840 senior colleges and universities in the USA. The national office is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A National Council, composed of psychologists who are Psi Chi members and who are elected by the chapters, guides the affairs of the organization and sets policy with the approval of the chapters.
Psi Chi serves two major goals--one immediate and visibly rewarding to the individual member, the other slower and more difficult to accomplish, but offering greater rewards in the long run. The first of these is the Society's obligation to provide academic recognition to its inductees by the mere fact of membership. The second goal is the obligation of each of the Society's local chapters to nurture the spark of that accomplishment by offering a climate congenial to its creative development. For example, the chapters make active attempts to nourish and stimulate professional growth through programs designed to augment and enhance the regular curriculum and to provide practical experience and fellowship through affiliation with the chapter. In addition, the national organization provides programs to help achieve these goals, including national and regional conventions held annually in conjunction with the psychological associations, research award competitions, and certificate recognition programs. Also, the Society publishes a quarterly Psi Chi Newsletter, which helps to unite the members as well as to inform and recognize their contributions and accomplishments.
Students become members by joining the chapter at the school where they are enrolled. Psi Chi chapters are operated by student officers and faculty advisors. Together they select and induct the members and carry out the goals of the Society. All chapters register their inductees at the national office, where the membership records are preserved for reference purposes. The total number of memberships preserved at the national office during the first 65 years is over 270,000. Many of these members have gone on to distinguished careers in psychology.

As I see it, for once passenger rail and rail transit won't be the sole target of any budget-cutting as it has been so often in the decades past. This time all the modes get to join in the fun. The angst and teeth gnashing get shared by folks across the modal board. For once, I've got company!
Assuming we all get the pain applied fairly equally in that 8% range – assumptions are risky, I fully realize – it'll actually be fun to see all my frequent-flier friends moan about the injustice, the how-can-they, inflicted on the "for-profit" passenger airlines courtesy of federal fund slicing that props up those profits. Some of them have bashed Amtrak for decades. Turning the tables might be quite the delicious prospect.
The road warriors, of course, won't feel the pain instantly; they get lag time. But the potholes will mount, the decaying bridges will continue to multiply, and the cries will arise over the unfairness of Big Government in sequestering "essential" government road funds – funds I use myself, and funds I call a "subsidy" to rubber-tired vehicles of all sizes.
Oddly enough, Amtrak appears to be braced for this round of pain, and given its past one might think its expertise in such matters might be a plus. Amtrak has made polite noises about potential negative effects, but reading rail columnists, and reading between the lines of releases from groups such as the National Association of Railroad Passengers, one gets the sense that, once more, Amtrak can take it.
More concern is voiced by rail transit agencies, and certainly I can see how sequestration impacts upon capital programs, which this nation sorely, desperately needs. But the feds quit offering significant operating funding support (or "subsidies," always the dirty transit word) years ago. I won't discount some sort of disruption or pain, but so far I don't see my daily rail travels upended in any meaningful way—certainly far less rearranged than Hurricane Sandy managed.
Meanwhile, remember the freight railroads? By and large, they maintain their rights-of-way using their own capital, certainly to a far greater degree than comparable surface modes. So even if I'm way off when it comes to moving people, I don't fret about freight that much; at least for now, the rails will deliver.
Serious talking heads, mostly on financial-focus shows, insist that the ne'er-do-well Congress and the intransigent President of the United States must make the hard choices and cut the programs that "deserve" cutting. But it goes beyond those entities; the U.S. citizen public itself, by and large, couldn't and still can't decide what to cut and what not.
That same public, I'd note, has consistently rallied to support Amtrak over and over again in past decades, and while such support saved Amtrak, it didn't save Amtrak from serious cuts, sometimes severe cuts, even while the "for-profit" airlines got a tidy package of billions in fed assistance following 9/11, and road sprawl kept on going like the Energizer Bunny.
In short, Amtrak has been cut time and time again, only recently finding support on the presidential level. So this observer won't blame or blast the President – and will also hesitate to blame Congress – for the current standoff, because in my view this isn't comparable to past cliffhangers for rail transit endured by so many.
In the past, the phrases used by so many have been "auto-reliant" and "rail-dependent." I think sequestration will highlight just how auto-dependent the nation is, and how it should be more rail-reliant. As for the "for-profit" airlines merging like crazy to keep aloft, they'll have to deal with the reality of being, at least in part, dependent on my federal tax dollars just like so many other entities are.
It's very, very likely I've missed something in the fiscal tea leaves that will cause me to revisit my assumption in the not-too-distant future; dramatic (or drastic) actions often generate unexpected consequences. So be it. I'm not advocating sequestration as a desirable means of government. But I'm not convinced its effects will be all negative. For transportation, and specifically for passenger rail transportation, we'll find out.

Rickie Fowler may be the defending champion at the Wells Fargo Championship, but his third-round 5-over-par 39-38=77 leaves him as one of 11 players snared by the 54-hole cut.
The third round of The Honda Classic is now expected to get back underway at 10:00 a.m ET on Sunday after heavy rain has caused addition work for the grounds crew at PGA National's Champion Course.
Graeme McDowell completed 36 holes of The Honda Classic in 5-over-par 74-71=145 and missed the cut on the number.
Padraig Harrington enjoyed a 4-under-par 32-34=66 in his second round of The Honda Classic.
Ian Poulter fashioned a 6-under-par 30-34=64 in his second round of The Honda Classic to post 5-under 135 at the break, one off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.
A birdie burst on the back nine thrust Wallie Coetsee into a two-shot lead after round three of the Joburg Open.
Brooks Koepka blistered PGA National's Champion Course for a 6-under-par 33-31=64 in his second round of The Honda Classic.
At 7-over-par 73-74=147, Rory McIlroy will miss the cut at The Honda Classic.
Dustin Johnson completed 36 holes of The Honda Classic in 12-over-par 77-75=152 and will miss the cut.
Morgan Hoffmann withdrew from The Honda Classic prior to his second round.
Using his opening 66 on the tougher East Course as a springboard, Wallie Coetsee jumped into the halfway lead at the Joburg Open.
First-round leader Nic Henning couldn't keep his surprise Joburg Open challenge going on Friday. So much so that he now looks set to miss the cut.
