New York City Marathon planning continues after Sandy
Five days before New York hosts its namesake marathon, its public transportation is shut down, its airports closed, its streets flooded and its power out in many neighborhoods.By: Rachel Cohen, Associated Press
NEW YORK — Five days before New York hosts its namesake marathon, its public transportation is shut down, its airports closed, its streets flooded and its power out in many neighborhoods.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday he expected Sunday's race to go on as scheduled after superstorm Sandy. Marathon organizers were moving forward with their plans — leaving open the possibility of changes from past years.
"The marathon has always been a special day for New Yorkers as a symbol of the vitality and resiliency of this city," New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said in a statement.
Bloomberg said it could be four or five days before the subways are running again. That could mean no trains on race day when the nearly 50,000 runners signed up need to get to the start.
The marathon pours an estimated $340 million into the city each year. But it also requires major support from city departments that are strained by the storm.
New York's airports could reopen as early as today, though cancellations earlier in the week could make it difficult for out-of-town runners to get on flights. Commuter trains and some river crossings that allow people to reach the city remained closed Tuesday, their timetables for reopening also uncertain.
Transporting all the runners to the starting line on Staten Island could be a major challenge. About half the entrants take the ferry, which still may be closed because of flooding on both sides.
Others take buses through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, also shut down because of flooding.
Nearly 20,000 amateur international runners need to get in the country. Family and friends of runners must somehow find a way to their viewing spots.
Wittenberg said Monday that NYRR had a long list of contingency plans already in place to deal with any obstacles that might arise. The 26.2-mile route through the five boroughs mostly avoids areas hit hardest by flooding.
Wittenberg had insisted Monday that "we have time on our side."
NYRR holds about 50 events a year and has dealt with issues ranging from heavy snow to lightning to security concerns in the past.
"We've been through close to it all," Wittenberg said.
Organizers expected to reschedule flights to get all the elite athletes to New York in time. Wittenberg hoped that most of the amateur international runners signed up would make it. The hours for number pick-up probably will be extended for those who arrive late Saturday.
For runners who can't get to New York, the deadline to withdraw from the race and guarantee a spot in next year's event likely will be pushed back from today to Saturday. Under normal NYRR policy, entry fees won't be refunded, and runners would have to pay again next year.
The ceremonial finish-line painting scheduled for today was canceled, along with a Tuesday news conference.
A children's run Thursday was moved from Central Park to an indoor track, and the pavilion in the park has been taken down for the time being. Wittenberg said generators were in place in key locations to provide electricity.
Extra time always is built into planning, and 700 part-time workers and 8,000 volunteers ensure the course can be set up quickly.
"This is a very challenging time for the people and city of New York," Wittenberg said in the statement, promising updates on race week plans as more information is known.

'GREENING the world economy is not going to come cheap.' That depends on how you look at it. One could just as well - or maybe even better - say: 'business as usual will be horrifyingly expensive.' Following the article's example of energy, in the current market, fossil fuels are considered cheap, because a large part of the costs are socialized in the form of environmental pollution and health risks. A 2011 American Economic Review study by Muller, Mendelsohn and Nordhaus "Environmental Accounting for Pollution in the United States Economy" comes to the conclusion that when external costs are included, burning coal does more harm than good to the American economy. The problem of course is in how to put a value on these external costs. However, because something is difficult to value, doesn't mean its value is zero.
GREENING the world economy is not going to come cheap. The International Energy Agency reckons that investment in low-carbon energy technologies will have to rise from an annual $165 billion in recent years to an eye-popping $750 billion each year by 2030 and $1.6 trillion per annum by 2050. HSBC, an investment bank, has even higher estimates. It sees $10 trillion being spent during this decade alone.
As these green technologies mature and become less risky, HSBC points out, we should expect them to be financed mostly by bonds not equity. (The historical split is 60% bonds and 40% equity). The bank commissioned a report by the Climate Bonds Initiative, a non-profit organisation trying to encourage green investment. The results showed that the market for such "climate bonds" is surprisingly well-developed.
The market includes $174 billion of climate-themed bonds issued since 2005 (the year the Kyoto Protocol came into force). An additional $577 billion of bonds are more or less closely related to green projects. The vast majority (82%) are issued by corporations, with financial institutions (including development banks) making up most of the remainder.
The bonds are concentrated in certain sectors. Almost all of the pure climate bonds are in transport, energy and "climate finance", which is mostly the green projects of development banks. The broader pool of greenish bonds are concentrated in energy projects, water, waste and pollution control.
Unsurprisingly Europe leads the world market, accounting for two-thirds of the global total. Four out of the top five countries, ranked by issuance, are from Europe, with Britain and France topping the list. Almost all British and French climate bonds are in transport, as are about 80% of the German variety. In America and Japan transport-sector bonds are only around half of the total. The other half are in energy in Japan, and in mostly energy and climate finance in America. Chinese climate bonds, however, are heavily dominated by energy investment, which accounts for around 80% of the total. Bond issuance by renewable energy companies in China quadrupled in 2011.
All of this is an encouraging start. But given the need for investment in coming decades continued bond issuance is crucial. Bonds need to be bigger and trustworthier if they are to reach investment-grade status and lure in the big bucks. The folks at the Climate Bonds Initiative think government involvement can help to kick-start the market. Governments could issue climate bonds themselves, as the Australian and Indian government have done, or they could support greener bonds through tax incentives, providing the kind of breaks America's federal government offers for local-government bonds. As the climate warms, climate bonds may become quite hot.

The Comfort of Strangersby Ian McEwan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:As their holiday unfolds, Colin and Maria are locked into their own intimacy. They groom themselves meticulously, as though someone is waiting for them who cares deeply about how they appear. When they meet a man with a disturbing story to tell, they become drawn into a fantasy of violence and obsession.
Review:"As the best young writer on this island, McEwan's evocations of feeling and place and his analysis of mood and relationship remain haunting and compelling." The Times (London)
Review:"As always, McEwan manages his own idiom with remarkable grace and inventiveness; his characters are at home in their dreams, and so is he." Guardian (London)
Review:"The Maestro." New Statesman
Review:"McEwan, that master of the taciturn macabre, so organizes his narrative that, without insisting anything, every turn and glimpse is another tightening of the noose. The evils of power and the power of evil are transmitted with a steely coolness, and in a prose that has a feline grace." Observer (London)
Review:"Convincing and clinging as a nightmare....[McEwan is] an alluringly gifted writer." The New York Times Book Review
Review:"McEwan has — a style and a vision of life of his own....No one interested in the state and mood of contemporary Britain can afford not to read him." John Fowles
Review:"A sparkling and adventurous writer." Dennis Potter
Review:"An exquisite miniature gothic." Chicago Tribune
Review:"Smooth, classy...elegant and restrained." The Village Voice
About the AuthorIan McEwan is the bestselling author of more than ten books, including the novels The Comfort of Strangers and Black Dogs, both shortlisted for the Booker Prize; Amsterdam, winner of the Booker Prize; and The Child in Time, winner of the Whitbread Award; as well as the story collections First Love, Last Rites, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and In Between the Sheets. He has also written screenplays, plays, television scripts, a children's book, and the libretto for an oratorio. He lives in London.

'Educated' and 'uneducated' states and how they voted
There are lots of ways to slice and dice election results, and this one is particularly interesting. Behold the GOP's electoral strategy!
The chart on the left shows how states voted in the presidential election, compared to the percentages of people in those states who have college degrees. And there are few surprises.
Of the 10 states with the highest proportion of college-educated residents, all 10 went for Obama in the election.
Of the 10 states with the lowest proportion of college degrees, 9 of 10 went for Romney in the election. Only Nevada kept them from a perfect, 10-for-10 score.
What conclusions can we draw from this?
- The higher the proportion of educated voters in a state, the less likely they are to fall for a lot of the silly cow-manure Tea Party arguments the Republicans have been shoveling of late.
- Perhaps it also explains why conservatives seem so down on public education. They tend to put few resources behind it, or insist that textbooks be rewritten to their students detriment, like Texas. Is that a long-range strategy to increase the conservative (i.e. uneducated voter) turnout years down the road?
- Democrats can play the same game, of course. By insisting on more spending for education at secondary and post-secondary levels, they may be able to win more governorships and seats in the House of Representatives. But they shouldn't expect Republicans to roll over on that.
I first spotted this on Americablog, but it actually comes from a site called HappyPlace.com. Be sure to check out their post titled "The most psychotically profane rant you'll ever hear from a golf coach at a Christian college," by the way (NSFW).

Recipe by Carol
"This is a very good cake for Christmas. Do not double this recipe. You don't need to age this cake."
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups golden raisins
1/2 cup red candied cherries
1 cup candied mixed fruit peel
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
This is a very tasty fruitcake (yes, it is possible to have one of those!). Feel free to change the fruits to anything your heart desires, just keeping to the amounts listed. I would make this again, but exchange the candied cherries and mixed fruit peel for dried cranberries and currants (for example).
The pineapple is a completely new twist on the classic (heavy and in my opinion bland) fruitcake. This pineapple cake has a lighter flavor and is slightly less filing as well. The only part of the recipe I did not understand was the warning not to double the recipe. If done correctly, the cake does fine doubled, trippled, or even quadrupled! :) If you plan on baking for a crowd, don't turn down this recipe because of the false information. This cake tastes great no matter what!

The no. 24 LSU Shreveport Pilots got a good outing from Cade Bowen on Thursday afternoon but could not provide any runs support as the fell to the no. 18 Madonna Crusaders 8-0 at Olympic Field on day one of the 2013 NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round in the Cleveland bracket.
LSUS (40-17) has their work cut out for them now as they must win five straight games, four over the next two days to stay alive in the Opening Round. The Pilots will face elimination tomorrow at noon ET against the five seeded Grand View Vikings who lost their opener to Avila 7-0. LSUS will be the home team.
Today Bowen (5-4) allowed two runs in the in the third and fourth innings and was lights out keeping the Pilots in the game working perfect innings five other times. Bowen scattered 10 hits but only two were hit hard and seven came in the third and fourth innings. He finished with four strikeouts and did not walk a batter.
LSUS reliever Riley Spencer surrendered four earned runs in his two-thirds of an inning of relief work.
The Pilot bats managed only five hits against Madonna starter Matthew Cook who did a great job the whole game working ahead of the Pilot hitters as he controlled nearly every at bat. The only two hitters in the lineup that had any success off Cook were K. J. Semien and Greg Friesen. Semien was 2-for-4 while Friesen was 3-for-4 but that was all the Pilots could do offensively.
Madonna (37-9) started the third inning with three straight hits that started their first of three rallies. The Crusaders will face the Lee/Avila winner tomorrow at 3:30 ET. The 18th ranked team had multi-hit games from only three with Steve Pelletier going 2-for-5, Donny Holland was 2-for-4, and the nine-hole hitter Alex Charles was a perfect 4-for-4.

I use this product to minimize and/or repair damage from hair dyes and the use of heated styling instruments.
A little goes a long way. One container lasts me for months and the last dollop is just as effective as when I first opened the product.
There's no buildup, however, to assure continued maximum effectiveness, I use a clarifying shampoo once a week. One of the best products of its kind on the market that I'm aware of.

Old Knicks holding up at season's midpoint
The Knicks will hit the midpoint of the season tonight, a little bit later than most — the fitting pace for a team built around old age, a little slow and mostly steady.
The off-season plans that reconstructed the team — parting with Jeremy Lin and a well-liked, but marginal-ceiling squad and replacing them with nine new faces — has panned out exactly as hoped. New faces is perhaps not a perfect description since they are new to the team, but more of a grizzled and worn-down bunch.
What they have done is proved coach Mike Woodson's assertion that the way to winning in the NBA is with veterans. The caveat that Woodson never speaks of, is that with age comes risk. But as they approach the 41st game with a 26-14 record, the Knicks have been in first place in the Atlantic Division the entire season, so it hard to argue at this point that it wasn't worth the risk.
How they've done it
Jason Kidd turns 40 in less than two months and has an ailing back — to go along with aches in just about every part of his body. But he also has been the key to changing the culture with the Knicks, making responsible teammates of Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith. He's helped create a team in his image — rarely turning the ball over, playing solid if unspectacular defense and scoring well enough to win.
The Knicks are tops in the league in turnover differential, middling in defense and terrible at rebounding.
But with Anthony's offensive ability, that's good enough to win on most nights. Kidd won't shoot as well as he has all year and neither will the Knicks, but if they continue to play smart and hard — the way Woodson demands and Kidd teaches — they'll remain successful.
The highlight
Anthony has spent his career with critics chronicling his underachieving play, but this year even the most ardent Anthony basher has to admit to the positive change in his play. Anthony has not only maintained his status as one of the game's most prolific scorers but has added a defensive effort as well.
An inspired Anthony entered the season in great shape after playing for an Olympic gold medal in the summer and he has dived into the stands, rebounded and nearly fought for wins.
What to watch for
The bumps and bruises have already shown, but the Knicks have managed to hang on. What they can't afford is to lose Anthony or Tyson Chandler, their two All-Stars and irreplaceable pieces.
Anthony is playing nearly 38 minutes per game and putting up the most field-goal attempts since 2007. If that takes its toll, the Knicks' championship dreams will vanish.

United States Senator
Rhode Island
July 23, 2009
Opening Statement of Sheldon Whitehouse
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight and the Courts
Hearing on "The Worsening Foreclosure Crisis: Is It Time to Reconsider Bankruptcy Reform?"
As Prepared for Delivery
The hearing will come to order.
Nearly ten months ago we enacted a $700 billion bailout package to rescue the economy from the subprime mortgage meltdown. This hearing will look at whether the foreclosure situation is worsening and what can be done for the millions of families in Rhode Island and Alabama and across the nation at risk of losing their homes.
We tried in October to include in the Troubled Asset Relief Program measures that would help homeowners on Main Street, in addition to the banks on Wall Street. Unfortunately, these efforts proved fruitless. We included in the bailout legislation a requirement that the Treasury work to modify the mortgages it purchased as part of the TARP. That requirement was rendered meaningless by the outgoing Administration's decision not to purchase "toxic assets" as initially proposed. The money went directly to banks, and the Treasury held no mortgage-related assets to modify. Wall Street benefited, and Main Street was left in the cold.
Democrats in Congress, led by Senator Durbin, tried unsuccessfully to include in the TARP legislation a provision that could have kept millions of families in their homes at zero cost to the taxpayers. This proposal would have corrected an anomaly in the Bankruptcy Code that prohibits judges from modifying primary residence mortgages the way they can modify every other type of contract from mortgages on vacation homes to car and jewelry and corporate loans. Despite the fact that a bankruptcy modification would spare the community the terrible costs of foreclosure, the mortgage banking industry invested millions of dollars to lobby against this reform and has so far been able to prevent its passage.
As subprime mortgage teaser periods began to expire last year, and with the credit market dried up so they could not refinance, millions of homeowners faced higher monthly payments that they could not afford. In the final quarter of 2008, there were over 200,000 residential foreclosures. These homeowners faced this foreclosure wave with minimal assistance from their government.
The new administration has tried to address the foreclosure crisis. Through the Treasury's Making Home Affordable programs, President Obama encouraged loan servicers to start modifying mortgages. While these programs so far have kept 160,000 families in their homes through trial modifications, it is becoming increasingly clear that Congress must do more - much more - to address the worsening crisis.
As you will hear from one of the witnesses today, there is evidence that the worst of the foreclosure crisis is not behind us. Just as the wave of potential foreclosures from subprime mortgages begins to subside, a new wave of potential foreclosures tied to rate resets on other, exotic mortgage instruments is just around the corner. The Center for Responsible Lending estimates nine million homes may be lost to foreclosure from 2009 through 2012. At their current rates of modification, the Treasury's voluntary programs may only assist two million or fewer families during that period.
It is clear to me that Congress must do more to help struggling American homeowners, and specifically, that we need to take another serious look at the Durbin proposal to allow bankruptcy judges to modify the terms of mortgages on principal residences. If we fail to act, I fear that we put ourselves at risk: that a vicious cycle of foreclosures, falling home values, and declining tax revenues will keep us in recession for years to come.
I look forward to hearing the views of today's panel on this proposal and others.
Joseph Verdelotti, Jr., a constituent of mine from West Warwick, Rhode Island will share his experience struggling with two mortgages during a period of rising costs and falling home prices. Mr. Verdelotti, a licensed electrician, and his wife April, a hospital worker, have been unable to obtain mortgage modifications and may soon be forced to leave their home.

"Welcome to the American Museum of Pop Culture, with artifacts dating as far, far, back... as six months ago."
Classics, almost by definition, are works that are considered to be of high quality, are influential on later works, and are widely known. However, one will often find that only scholars and enthusiasts have first-hand knowledge of the material in question, and that the masses know it either only by title or by homages, parodies, direct references and allusions found in more populist works. Essentially, various bits and pieces of high culture are most widely known through their use in pop culture. Ill-informed people might even think these bits and pieces are original to the popular work, And That's Terrible (nine times out of ten).

Bottoms up for 4 promising equities
Double bottoms in three stocks and an emerging-market ETF offer very good upside potential.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
As discussed last week, double-bottom formations were observed in many stocks and ETFs at the October lows. This formation can provide many good entry points for both traders and investors. As noted in the article, full-time or professional traders can often spot good entry points just after the second low of the double bottom is being formed.
There are other ways to trade this formation, however. To confirm a double-bottom formation, prices need to move above the intervening high, preferably on good volume. Often times the breakout level will be retested, and when this occurs, it can provide a good entry point.
Three stocks in particular have now completed their double-bottom formations, while the pattern evident in one emerging-market ETF could be completed in the next week or two.
Chart Analysis: Lennar Corp. (LEN) is a homebuilding stock that moved above resistance at line a on October 12, completing the double-bottom formation (points 1 and 2). The low at point 2 was $12.14, just below the prior low at $12.39.
- The upside target from the formation is in the $18.15 area, but remember that these are just the initial targets. There is additional resistance in the $18.40 area
- The relative performance, or RS analysis, confirmed the bottom formation by forming higher lows (line c) and then moving above resistance, line b
- The on-balance volume (OBV) formed a positive divergence at the lows, line e, and then moved through its downtrend (line d)
- There is first support in the $15.50-$16.00 area with stronger support at $15.00
Noble Corp. (NE) is an oil and gas exploration company whose shares made marginal new lows at $27.33 on October 4 (point 2) before turning higher. The prior low on August 8 was $27.68, point 1.
- The move above the intervening high at $35.84 (line f) completed the double-bottom formation
- The upside target from the formation is at $44.00 with additional resistance at $46.00
- The RS line formed higher lows, line h, which was confirmed by the move through resistance at line g
- Volume was heaviest at the August low (see arrow) and the OBV was much higher in October, line j
- This bullish divergence was confirmed by the move through the downtrend, line i
- There is first good support at last week's low of $34.02 with stronger support in the $32.00 area
Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc. (SHO) is a hotel/motel REIT that has a current yield over 19% and reports earnings after today's close. SHO also made marginally lower lows in October at $4.79, point 2. The August low was at $4.98 (point 1).
- Key resistance at $6.10 (line a) was overcome on October 13. This completed the double-bottom formation
- The upside target at $7.22 was exceeded on October 27 when the high was $7.38
- The 50% retracement resistance is in the $8.00 area
- The RS line has completed its bottom formation by moving through resistance at line b
- There is initial support now at $6.60-$6.80 with stronger support at $6.10-$6.25
The Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM) is a $240 million fund that yields 1.9% and is fairly lightly traded with an average volume of 142,000 shares per day. VNM made an initial low in August at $17.00 and made a further new low in October at $16.64.
- VNM has bounced from the lows but needs to move through the resistance at $20.68, line e, to complete a double-bottom formation
- A completed pattern would give upside targets at $24.30
- The RS line is still in a downtrend, line f, and has recently made new lows
- The OBV formed a bullish divergence at the recent lows, line h, and has moved through its downtrend (line g). It is acting stronger than prices
- There is next support in the $17 area
What It Means: The bullish volume and RS analysis of the three stocks suggests that they can move well above the double-bottom price targets. Therefore, a drop back to support with stops under their retracement levels should have good profit potential.
With Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc. (SHO), the very high yield makes me more cautious, and combined with today's scheduled earnings report, only buy at much stronger support where a tighter stop can be used.
For the Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM), I am looking for a higher weekly close to confirm the OBV analysis that a bottom is being formed.
How to Profit: For Lennar Corp. (LEN) the previously recommended buying zone was not hit. Look to buy at $15.42 with a stop at $14.22 (risk of approx. 7.6%). If filled, on a move above $17.50, raise the stop to break even.
For Noble Corp. (NE), buy at $35.28 with a stop at $32.62 (risk of approx. 7.5%).
For Sunstone Hotel Investors Inc. (SHO), go long at $6.16 with a stop at $5.66 (risk of approx. 8.1%).
For high-risk traders, if the Market Vectors Vietnam ETF (VNM) closes on Friday (Nov. 11) above $17.88, buy at $17.92 or better with a stop at $16.52 (risk of approx. 7.8%.

Dakota Meyer saved 36 lives from an ambush in Afghanistan and the ex-Marine will collect the nation's highest military honor at the White House.
While he's receiving the Medal of Honor on Thursday, Meyer's slain comrades will be memorialized in hometown ceremonies at his request.
His hero's moment was his darkest day. Meyer lost some of his best friends on Sept. 8, 2009, in Kunar Province.
According to the military, he charged through heavy insurgent gunfire on five death-defying trips in an armored Humvee to save 13 Marines and Army soldiers and another 23 Afghan troops pinned down by enemy fire.
President Barack Obama will bestow the medal. The two have also met privately, having a beer on a patio outside the Oval Office on Wednesday.

In transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, production of normal amounts of antibodies (immunoglobulins) in infants is delayed.
At birth, the immune system is not fully developed. Most of the immunoglobulins in infants are those produced by the mother and transferred via the placenta before birth. Immunoglobulins from the mother protect infants against infection until infants start to produce their own, usually by age 6 months. About the same time, levels of immunoglobulins from the mother start to decrease. In infants with transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, production of normal amounts of immunoglobulins is delayed. As a result, immunoglobulin levels become low starting at age 3 to 6 months and return to normal at about age 12 to 36 months. The condition rarely leads to serious infections and is not thought to be a true immunodeficiency.
This condition is more common among premature infants because they receive fewer immunoglobulins from the mother. Although the condition is present at birth, it is not hereditary.
Blood tests are done to measure levels of immunoglobulins and to evaluate immunoglobulin production in response to vaccines. Most infants with the disorder produce normal amounts of antibodies in response to the vaccines they are given and to infectious organisms they are exposed to. Therefore, they do not have a problem with infections and need no treatment. However, some infants, particularly those born prematurely, have frequent infections. These infants may be given antibiotics to prevent infections from developing. This disorder usually resolves without treatment.

To escape its wrath, Sitting Bull led his people into Canada, where they remained for four years.
Sitting Bull's Return
In 1881 Sitting Bull returned to the Dakota territory, where he was held prisoner until 1883. In 1885, after befriending Annie Oakley, he joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.
The pay was more than good—$50 a week to ride once around the arena—but Sitting Bull quickly grew tired of the performances and life on the road. He was shocked by the poverty he saw in the cities, and coupled with the hatred that was directed toward him by some of the show's audience members, Sitting Bull decided to return to his people. "[I] would rather die an Indian than live a white man," he famously said.
Final Years
Back home, in a cabin on the Grand River not far from where he'd been born, Sitting Bull lived his life without compromise. He rejected Christianity and continued to honor his people's way of life.
In 1889 Native Americans began to take up the Ghost Dance, a ceremony aimed at ridding the land of white people and restore the Native American way of life. Sitting Bull soon joined it.
Fearing the powerful chief's influence on the movement, authorities directed a group of Lakota police officers to arrest Sitting Bull. On December 15, 1890, they entered his home. After they dragged Sitting Bull out of his cabin, a gunfight followed and the chief was shot in the head and killed. He was laid to rest at Fort Yates in North Dakota. In 1953, his remains were moved to Mobridge, South Dakota, where they remain today.

Wild West
The Wild West holds a special place in American history—Western films depict it as a place where the rules didn't apply, and where scores were settled with gun slinging and shootouts. The colorful characters who made up the old West were men, women, cowboys, Indians, sheriffs just plain outlaws. Though we've come to have a more nuanced understanding of the good and the bad of the old West, we can still learn from the stories of the people who made it and who wrote about what it was.

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
595cc, 45bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 9
The Yamaha XT600E is about as straightforward, reliable and solid as an old school trail bike gets. The Yamaha XT600E was the last of a long line of 4-valve air-cooled Yamaha singles, starting off with the original, much-loved XT500 of the mid-70s. This is a true trailie: decent off-round and straightforward and ujn-fussy on. Don't expect any frills or motorway ...
49cc, 6bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 3
The Yamaha TZR50 is an act of brilliant folly but tempting nevertheless. A screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies. Being Japanese the Yamaha TZR50 is fairly durable too, though it can't match the performance of its European rivals.
1002cc, 145bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 16
The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room ...
955cc, 104bhp, 133mph, Insurance group 13
The second generation Triumph Tiger carried on the theme of the original – a big, bruising road trail motorcycle powered by Hinckley's distinctive triple. The difference was this was the second generation triple with updated chassis and styling to match. Later versions are well equipped and the Triumph Tiger 955i is a decent road motorcycle taller riders, but it's also ...
50cc, 9bhp, 60mph, Insurance group 2
The Rieju RS1 is a screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies, but thankfully a whole lot cheaper than rivals like Aprilia and Cagiva. Yes it's Spanish and a little brittle, but it's also well-equipped, massively cool and impressively affordable.
660cc, 48bhp, 116mph, Insurance group 9
The MZ Skorpion was stylishly designed (by acclaimed Brits Seymour-Powell) single using a Yamaha engine which proved a refreshingly able antidote to Japanese fours in the mid-to-late 90s. Light, lithe, affordable, generally reliable and reassuringly practical.
998cc, 143bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer is a streetbike with an R1 engine – it could have been a compact brute of a machine with fearsome manners and ability to waste sports bikes below 80mph. But it's actually a big softie with plenty of punch. Arguably the ultimate all round bike – a Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer does the lot and does it ...
749cc, 146bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The 2004 and 2005 Suzuki GSX-R750s are almost perfect. The new radial brakes solved the slight stopping issues of the last incarnation, the styling's on the money and the motor and chassis are better than most of us can ever hope to fully exploit. The only fly in the 10/40W is the K5 GSX-R1000, which is so utterly brilliant there ...
749cc, 140bhp, 171mph, Insurance group 16
For a bike with a lineage as race-bred and focused as the Suzuki GSX-R750, it's no small irony that the original superbike is something of a compromise. It has all the handling of the 600 and most of the usable power of the 1000. The result is a motorcycle that's near perfect on road or track. The Suzuki GSX-R750's handling ...

A dispute over one of the largest outstanding U.S. orders for railcars has been settled as Greenbrier Cos. Inc. and General Electric Co. have agreed to slash the number of units by nearly half.
Lake Oswego, Ore.-based Greenbrier said that under a modified contract it will build up to 6,000 railcars for GE Railcar Services Corp. in Chicago, with the first 3,800 due to be manufactured by July 2013.

Is an unborn baby "a life worth sacrificing?" The question is horrifying, but the argument was all too real. In a recent article, Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon.com conceded what the pro-life movement has contended all along -- that from the moment of conception the unborn child is undeniably a human life. And yet, Williams argues that this unborn human life must be terminated if a woman desires an abortion. The child is a life, but, in her grotesque view, "a life worth sacrificing."
The abortion rights movement has always had a problem with language. The average American still hears the world "abortion" with some degree of moral revulsion. Activists did not need sophisticated marketing analysis to understand that much. Early on, the abortion rights movement shifted its public argument to the language of choice -- a woman's "right to choose."
But to choose what? No legal revolution was necessary in order for a woman to have the right to carry her unborn child to birth. What was demanded was the right to choose to kill the unborn child. This is the moral reality that was clouded and camouflaged by the "pro-choice" language.
In recent weeks leaders of Planned Parenthood disclosed that they are moving away from the pro-choice language because it just isn't working. Mary Elizabeth Williams agrees, saying that the change is "long overdue." She argues that the pro-abortion movement has fallen prey to the "sneaky, dirty tricks" of the pro-life movement -- a movement she says has controlled the life issue for too long.
Then, in chilling candor, Williams proceeds to affirm that every single unborn child is a human life. But, her argument is not pro-life. Far from it.
In her words:
"When we on the pro-choice side get cagey around the life question, it makes us illogically contradictory. I have friends who have referred to their abortions in terms of "scraping out a bunch of cells" and then a few years later were exultant over the pregnancies that they unhesitatingly described in terms of "the baby" and "this kid." I know women who have been relieved at their abortions and grieved over their miscarriages. Why can't we agree that how they felt about their pregnancies was vastly different, but that it's pretty silly to pretend that what was growing inside of them wasn't the same? Fetuses aren't selective like that. They don't qualify as human life only if they're intended to be born."
Williams skewers the "pro-choice" evasion. The fetus is a human life, she asserts -- every fetus, wanted or unwanted by its mother, planned or unplanned as a pregnancy. She even affirms that life begins at conception. But, she quickly argues, the fact that the unborn child is a human life doesn't mean that it should not be aborted.
She explains:
"Here's the complicated reality in which we live: All life is not equal. That's a difficult thing for liberals like me to talk about, lest we wind up looking like death-panel-loving, kill-your-grandma-and-your-precious-baby storm troopers. Yet a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights as the woman in whose body it resides. She's the boss. Her life and what is right for her circumstances and her health should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity inside of her. Always."
So the mother and the child are both fully human, fully alive, and fully recognized as human life. But the mother can abort that human life within her for any reason or for no stated reason at all. Williams argues that the mother is an autonomous agent, whereas the unborn child is not.
In premeditated candor Mary Elizabeth Williams declares that the unborn child is a human life, but not a human life worthy of respect or protection. As Williams insists, "I would put the life of a mother over the life of a fetus every single time -- even if I still need to acknowledge my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life."

Flawed high-speed rail plan not key in Duluth transit center
Duluth's legislative delegation has made a $6 million request for the proposed downtown multimodal transit center a high priority in the current session.
Duluth's legislative delegation has made a $6 million request for the proposed downtown multimodal transit center a high priority in the current session.
Since the Northern Lights Express (NLX) high-speed train was to be one user of that center, I worried this could be more money down the transportation toilet — which is the proper description for all the millions of federal, state, county and city dollars spent so far on that train to nowhere.
Thus I was glad that Dennis Jensen, general manager of the Duluth Transit Authority, which is pushing the transit center, said the passenger train isn't a key element of it.
The transit hub would help coordinate pedestrian-, bus-, auto- and other transportation in a single site; I don't know if the $26 million cost is the best use of tax dollars (partly because it is still a work in progress with elements not complete as of this writing), but the project was put together by planners, public officials and others who generally know what they're doing, and they seemed to go about it in a logical way.
The transit center is certainly a better use of bonding dollars than the delegation's $7 million request for an American Indian Learning Resource Center at UMD.
But both those projects look great compared to the Northern Lights Express, a project that just doesn't make sense. I don't expect true believers in the project — such as St. Louis County Commissioner Steve Raukar and Depot Czar Ken Buehler – to change, but I hope other backers will before more money is wasted.
Republicans in the current Congress are in no mood to appropriate billions for high-speed rail, and without the federal bucks NLX can't happen. Even a return to Democrat control is unlikely to change that.
As I've said several times in disparaging this waste of public dollars, I'm a fan of rail travel — having used it often, mostly during the years I lived in and near New York City but as recently as 2010.
High-speed rail does well in population-dense areas of Europe and Asia. The only current high-speed rail system in the United States, Amtrak's Acela train between Boston and Washington, D.C., also makes sense, though it is not really high-speed rail since its trains, capable of traveling at 150 miles an hour, average only about half that because of track limitations.
No more evidence of NLX flaws is needed, but I found some in a book I just finished reading, "Thinking, Fast and Slow," by Daniel Kahneman. He's a psychology professor but shared a Nobel Prize in economics in 2002 for studies on why people make the financial decisions they do.
Kahneman says transportation projects have consistently overestimated ridership on planned rail lines and underestimated construction costs.
He cites a 2005 study by the American Planning Association that examined rail projects across America from 1969 to 1998. During those 30 years, 90 percent of such projects overestimated by 106 percent how many passengers would use a system. And actual costs averaged 45 percent above projected ones.
Kahneman notes that, even though rail planners were aware of these flaws, estimates didn't improve over that period.
A look back at the Northern Lights Express train (it didn't have that name in its early days) shows the same trend. A January 2008 article in the Star Tribune of Minneapolis says rail backers' cost estimates, of $350 million a short time earlier, had been increased to $360 million to $400 million. By late 2009, backers were estimating $615 million and state officials nearly $1 billion.
Who knows what the train would really cost? I looked for a current cost estimate on the NLX website and found none, despite following all likely links. I'd be ashamed, too.
I've talked to several people involved in transportation in recent years (though not part of the NLX project) and many disparage the project but won't say so publicly because they must continue to work with public officials who still back NLX.
I hope those public officials will stop listening to the project's true believers and instead listen to the numbers that say this train won't make sense for a long time.
