  1. EDITORIAL: No need to tempt fate while driving

    The Natchez Democrat, Miss.
    Tragedies seem to come in waves, unfortunately. Our community has seen more than what would seem its fair share of horrible automobile accidents lately. First, a young Adams County Christian School student was severely injured several weeks ago. Then,...

  2. Like Disney, all trains should operate on 1 wireless system

    On a recent visit to Orlando, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonder that is the Disney monorail. It's the most heavily used system of its kind in the world, transporting more than 50 million people a year. When you're carrying that many grandparents,...

  4. Obama returns to arms control -- just in time

    President Barack Obama's call during the State of the Union address to reduce the threat of nuclear war could not have been more timely. The day before the president spoke, North Korea tested a primitive nuclear device, and the following day reports surfaced of Iranian attempts to buy technology that would greatly speed up its production of weapons-grade uranium.

  5. Chan Lowe: Scalia and gay marriage

    It isn’t Antonin Scalia’s fault that he looks like a Mafia capo, but his distinctive appearance certainly makes it easier for cartoonists to caricature his political leanings and bullying presence on the Supreme Court.

  7. Going all retro with foul calls

    MILWAUKEE — The NBA doesn't retroactively change calls on a daily basis. It just seems like it to the Lakers.
    MILWAUKEE — The NBA doesn't retroactively change calls on a daily basis. It just seems like it to the Lakers. The latest day-after fix involving them was announced by the league Thursday. Turns out a foul should have been called on Kobe Bryant...

  8. States driven toward 'zero death' crash goal

    It's a long-shot safety campaign known in shorthand as "zero deaths."
    It's a long-shot safety campaign known in shorthand as "zero deaths." Cutting the death toll to zero in crashes across all forms of transportation is an aggressive and perhaps unrealistic goal, but Illinois and more than half of the other states are...

  9. Investigation Faults Yankee Gas For Pipelines Hit by Contractors

    Excavators hate to be surprised by a natural gas pipe.
    The Hartford Courant
    Excavators hate to be surprised by a natural gas pipe. That's why a Connecticut law requires that contractors — or anyone digging underground — contact the state's Call Before You Dig service two days before working, so that utility...

  10. Ask Airfarewatchdog.com: You missed your connection - why was your return flight canceled?

    Q: I booked a flight on Emirates Airlines from Buffalo to Manila, with connections at New York JFK and Dubai. The flight from Buffalo to New York JFK was on JetBlue, but I bought the entire trip through Emirates on one ticket and with one reservation number. I had 2 1 / 2hours to make the connection at JFK on the outbound flight, but the JetBlue flight was delayed and I missed my onward connection. Emirates was very helpful in getting me to Manila on other airlines with minimal inconvenience. However, when I showed up for my return flight from Manila back to Buffalo I was informed that my entire return itinerary had been canceled because I was deemed a "no show" on my New York to Manila flight. Emirates got me to Dubai, but I ended up stranded in Dubai for 22 hours, eventually getting on a flight from Dubai to Dallas, then Dallas to Pittsburgh (which I paid for myself) and then had a friend pick me up for the drive back to Buffalo. All in all, it took me 65 hours to get home. By the way, Emirates refused to provide meals or a hotel while I waited for nearly a full day in Dubai. My question: Why was my return flight canceled even though Emirates was aware of the "misconnect" at JFK on my outward journey and what, if anything, can I do about this? Am I entitled to denied-boarding compensation per U.S. law?

  11. Caregiving's a marathon

    Ana Veciana-Suarez
    Caregiving is exhausting. Grueling. Draining. Wearing. Simply strenuous. There's no other way, no other declarative sentence, to explain it. I, who have long tried to channel the Energizer Bunny, collapse in bed every night, bone-weary but mind racing. I...
