do you put premium gas in your rental cars when you return them?
That is good news. Course, as you've noted Atrios, once you get to Tyson's corner things are so spread out and there are such big parking lots that it's not exactly walkable. So unless the metro station is in the mall, it won't get people out to Tysons. It will help folks from out there commute into DC.

A while back there was a WaPo story Atrios linked to about essentially blowing up Tyson's, redoing the roads entirely, rerouting the Silver Line down 7, and making it walkable. Did anything ever come of that?
Well, if this means more people will take planes rather than drive somewhere (the train goes to the airport), then it actually makes the GHG emissions worse, not better.

No problem. The old sheets were still open so i thought I'd jump start the new thread.
By signing off on the project, the Federal Transit Administration reversed its position of almost a year ago, when its regulators declared Dulles rail unqualified to receive $900 million in federal funding, citing cost overruns, delays and concerns about management.
Or there's a new sheriff acommin' to town who has totally different views on infrastructure investment than the drunken asshole wearing the steenking badge at the moment.
"Someone is looking for Mr. Puddles!"

In answer to "suspended parliament" questions, hell if I know.
Harper can't do anything w/o parliament. He took the ball and left.
It can be suspended by the PM requesting it from the Governor General, our pseudo quasi ornamental head of state. V. Rare.

"Moran said the national credit crisis probably helped the project's chances, because it "dried up" interest among private purchasers who had been eyeing the toll road. "But more importantly," he said, "the ideologues in the administration have given up."
So that's all right.
Well, if this means more people will take planes rather than drive somewhere (the train goes to the airport), then it actually makes the GHG emissions worse, not better.
It will take a lot of the people that are driving there already off the roads along with a lot of commuters I imagine.

That would work if (1) all outstanding shares added up to a controlling interest and (2) they were available for purchase.

Actually, I believe it can be done as an issuance of more stock shares. Says there's $3b in capital in 1b shares. If they want $6b more, they issue $6b more shares, diluting the voting power of the original shareholders by 2/3s.
For real rightwing head pyrotecnics, hand the shares to the Autoworkes Union for voting purposes.

"...regulators declared Dulles rail unqualified to receive $900 million in federal funding, citing cost overruns, delays and concerns about management."
Those "regulators" certainly know how these things usually work, rather funnel the $'s into a crony's pockets.
I don't know Dulles; probably a lot of people work out there, so that's a plus. But Atrios' SUPERTRAIN is supposed to get people between cities, so they don't have to fly. That's the goal. (Commuter rail is important, too, of course.)

The weighted hammer action is great for learning. Is she a beginner? And I love the fact that it has 88 keys! Personally, when I was learning on an old little baby Yamaha keyboard, I found the lack of all the octaves very frustrating, and when my parents finally acquired an old 88-key upright, it helped dramatically.

Stapleton itself was truly a dump (DIA way mo' bettah!), but if you lived in Denver it was wonderfully close-in to the city = very convenient.
Yeah, all airports kind of suck in the same way. I like the smaller, quasi-bus-station ones (like Norfolk, or Mobile, or Providence), although those are prime fuckup time when it's busy (like Thanksgiving or Xmas). At least I can fall off a log and get to Boston on the SUPER(bus)for $2 without any hassle.

Yeah. You have several options, actually. You can take the air train to the A at Howard Beach.

"...If Barack Obama is allowed to assume the office of president without positively establishing his eligibility under the Constitution, it will set a precedent for exempting the allocation of executive power from constitutional restrictions on the pretext that majority support overrules constitutional authority, popularity supersedes the fundamental law. Obviously, this is a recipe for the establishment of democratic dictatorship, like that which characterized the revolutionary first republic in France and licensed its murderous excesses."

"It is the counterpart of the "democratic people's republics" in whose name countless millions were imprisoned and killed by oppressive party dictatorships in the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, etc.
In an era when the insecurity implied by the threat of terrorist attack already overshadows our liberties, only one thing may be more dangerous to our freedom than such a precedent – the fact that it comes about because of the ignorance, fear, or selfish ambition of those sworn to uphold the Constitution. If they lack the character to do so now, before abuses of executive power create an environment of physical fear and intimidation, what must we expect once those abuses produce their inevitable effect? The people mesmerized by his tinsel rhetoric may expect Obama to resist the temptations of demagogic tyranny, but if he assumes office knowing that in doing so he has already successfully set aside the Constitution, no reasonable person could agree with them....
