Henry Allingham, the world's oldest man and one of the last surviving World War I servicemen, has died at the age of 113, his care home has said.
If I remember correctly from a few years ago the buses were free in downtown Seattle during the workday; I know they were on Saturdays.
In Phoenix they run every 10 minutes during peak hours and 20 minutes at other times, though at this point they are still figuring out the timing and the GPS system which is used to tell waiting riders when the next train is scheduled to arrive, is not yet working so you arrive at the platform but you have no idea how soon the next train is really coming.

So weren't some locals complaining here the other day that this new light rail set-up takes 10-15 minutes longer to traverse the same route as the bus it's replacing?
...at this point they are still figuring out the timing and the GPS system which is used to tell waiting riders when the next train is scheduled to arrive, is not yet working so you arrive at the platform but you have no idea how soon the next train is really coming.
We've got that for our LRT system. And, next year, a couple of bus lines are gonna upgrade to that. It's pretty slick.

"Real-time" scheduling w/ GPS really comes in handy...especially during the winter when there are many weather delays.

Wisconsin is finally making an investment in SUPERTRAINS!
http://www.jsonline.com/news/sta...s/
51035307.html
Madison — Wisconsin will purchase two trains from a Spanish manufacturer that plans to establish assembly and maintenance facilities in the state, Gov. Jim Doyle announced Friday morning.
Talgo is expected to create about 80 manufacturing and maintenance jobs in Wisconsin. The company could add more jobs if other states buy its trains, Doyle said.
Locations of the assembly and maintenance facilities haven't been chosen yet, but a statement from Doyle said they're likely to be located in south-central or southeastern Wisconsin. Antonio Perez, chief executive officer and president of Talgo Inc., the company's U.S. subsidiary, said it has scouted locations in Milwaukee and Janesville. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he would push hard to win the plant.
The two 14-car Talgo train sets, which will cost the state $47 million, will replace cars now used on Amtrak's Milwaukee-to-Chicago Hiawatha Service. They will boost the capacity of each Hiawatha train from 350 to 420 passengers. Hiawatha ridership jumped 24% last year, to 766,167.
If Wisconsin wins federal stimulus funding to begin 110-mph passenger rail service between Madison and Milwaukee, it has the option to purchase two more trains from the company.
...and curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder!
You can most likely access a "static" schedule over your cell phone, too. That at least gives you a starting point...
Clearly Atrios was deprived of choo-choo sets when he was a kid.
. . . and another thing (missed the discussion last thread) I have never seen this country so polarized and dumbstruck as at this time.
I was of age during the sixties and this is much, much worse. There is a cadre of people who live to hate and another cadre of people dedicated to feeding that hatred by any means possible.
Those who are even sort of wise (McCain) recognize this for what it is: a Hitler-Germany-type of mindset, but this has not discouraged either the haters or those who feed the hate.
Everything - even innocuous things - are now politicized to the point of absurdity. (Obama is not a natural born citizen, he wants to take your guns, health care is BAD, and on and on.)
I have little faith that this country will prosper and an intense worry that this will end in violence.

Had this discussion with my friend last night. She's from a family of 7 and doesn't see problems with parents having 4 or more children. In theory this is all fine, if mommy and daddy can support the children. But when every set of parents has many children, and they all want to live a 'first world' lifestyle, then it becomes a bit problematic.

Day late. Dollar short.
BUT these were not in every town and every church: this is different. Yes, I remember the haters but there was only a limited network for them to be fed their hate: Carl McIntyre - Joe Pyne - et al.
Now you have mainstream churches, essentially, preaching that killing an abortion doctor is nothing more than they deserved. (And that is not even to contemplate the mind-set of those who see NOTHING amiss with our economic system that a few more tax cuts to the rich will not improve.)
No. I have thought of this for a long time and this is much different: much more main-stream and socially acceptable to be a sociopath now.
Racy, glad to see you here; I'm not sure of your age but know for myself that healing takes much longer than it used to.
And yet, they won't let me on board. Unless I wear one of those stupid vest thingies.
DWD,
Great bit from Frank Rich this weekend, about the Palinistas:
...she [Palin] stands for a genuine movement: a dwindling white nonurban America that is aflame with grievances and awash in self-pity as the country hurtles into the 21st century and leaves it behind.
Aflame in grievances and awash in self-pity. That says it all.

I love October in Minnesota. This is perfect fence-putting-up weather.
Buckeye, what happened in Dayton is that a way of life passed. Boys graduated from HS and worked at GM, or some variation hereof. Girls worked at NCR or Reynolds & Reynolds til they married a GM man and had babies.
It's all gone now, so they hide in the megachurches, blame anybody they can, and pray for better times. If they can find work, it's in the medical field, where they treat the pain of the lost lifestyles.
I know 'cuz it's what happened to one whole side of my family. It's an incredibly sad thing to see.

But a lot of the fundies in the Dayton area have good jobs, live in the burbs, etc. The loss of the way Dayton was is part of it, but not all of it. Interestingly, a lot of our nurses are rural raised/living and are fundies. Odd, that. On the job, you must adhere to science, off the job you deny it.

Buckeye's Theory: The bus you are waiting for is running late, and you have to make a transfer downtown. If you cross the street to get another bus, the bus you were originally waiting for will come by and the bus you are now waiting for will be late.
And no, Dayton doesn't have those fancy GPS tracking systems so the actual passengers out waiting for the bus know what the bus status is.

Dayton has busses?
Addendum: I posted this paragraph last night: it might be worth reading (Charles Kuralt)
Openly opposed to the fast paced, minimal information format of many news broadcasts, through the years Kuralt has chastised television executives for "hiring hair instead of brains." Quoted in TV Guide on 2 April 1994, Kuralt said, "I am ashamed that so many [anchorpersons] haven't any basis on which to make a news judgment, can't edit, can't write, and can't cover a story."
Got a kick out of this in the "comments" section of a story on Sotomayor at SFGate:
the minorities are becoming the majority in this country. it's a bitter pill for white republicans to swallow. they better hope that the new majority doesn't treat the new minority the same way the old majority has treated the old minority.
I saw a bus in Dayton. It was running on a cable.

"So weren't some locals complaining here the other day that this new light rail set-up takes 10-15 minutes longer to traverse the same route as the bus it's replacing?"
That's not really the point of light rail.
Also, it takes about the same amount of time for the train and the express route (194). It might also depend on the time of day, as the latter uses the highway for part of the trip.
I believe the train also has longer and more frequent service.
No baggage space on the 194 or 174, either.

you can find this letter to Rep. Rangel on the cbo.gov.
It is the buried lead on the true cost of health care reform over 10 years. It came out yesterday.
it adds to the deficit, but only a tiny amount over 10 years. I have no idea why it was buried in a release late on Friday or why it isnt getting covered now. I learned about it at the orange satan.
Honorable Charles B. Rangel
Page 3
By the end of the 10-year period, in 2019, the coverage provisions would add
$202 billion to the federal deficit, CBO and JCT estimate. That increase would be
partially offset by net cost savings of $50 billion and additional revenues of
$86 billion, resulting in a net increase in the deficit of an estimated $65 billion.
$65 billion over 10 years is pretty small.

Also, unlike actual news, Kuralt always seemed to have been given plenty of time in the broadcast for his pieces. Funny, that.

My boss is very, very smart woman. But her mom was a fundy, and her husband's very conservative. So, she believes literally in the bible.
My mom was pretty religious, but neither she nor her father, a pastor, believed in the bible as literal truth.
It never ceases to mystify me how some people can tolerate the stark cognitive dissonance of simultaneously harboring elaborate belief systems based on both the scientific method and tribal mythology. But there are many such people, even some of them who are in my line of work - viz. Francis Collins.

UPDATE II: In the hours and hours of preening, ponderous, self-serving media tributes to Walter Cronkite, here is a clip you won't see, in which Cronkite -- when asked what is his biggest regret -- says (h/t sysprog):
What do I regret? Well, I regret that in our attempt to establish some standards, we didn't make them stick. We couldn't find a way to pass them on to another generation.
It's impossible even to imagine the likes of Brian Williams, Tom Brokow and friends interrupting their pompously baritone, melodramatic, self-glorifying exploitation of Cronkite's death to spend a second pondering what he meant by that.

True, but I consider that to be profoundly stupid, particularly *because* they are so educated. They don't have an excuse.
The Bible is a perfectly workable document without needing to believe it as literal truth. It's when people try to put the proverbial square peg in a round hole that they start being wackjobs.
I have a couple of relatives just like that. Boggles the mind.
I don't personally see how any sensible connotation of the word "faith" can used to justify belief in things that are manifestly, demonstrably at odds with reality. The correct word is "denial".
