NEW YORK (Reuters) – Confidential diplomatic cables from the U.S. embassies
in Beijing and Hong Kong lay bare China's growing influence as America's
largest creditor.
As the U.S. Federal Reserve grappled with the aftershocks of financial
crisis, the Chinese, like many others, suffered huge losses from their
investments in American financial firms -- from Lehman Brothers to the
Primary Reserve Fund, the money market fund that broke the buck.
The cables, obtained by WikiLeaks, show that escalating... 阅读全帖

A Brooklyn-bound express F train carrying about 1,000 passengers derailed
near the 65th Street station in Woodside, Queens, Friday morning, leaving
four people with "potentially serious" injuries and 15 others with minor
injuries, officials said.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority chairman Thomas F. Prendergast said
that the middle six cars of the eight-car train derailed -- and that the
incident was under investigation.

The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But
no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled
up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of
trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more
than a wild-animal runway.

The film starts with a brief recap of David Webb (Matt Damon) when he first

his new life as the Jason Bourne. After exposing Blackbriar (in 'the Bourne
Ultimatum'), Bourne has been hiding out in Greece for the past eight years.
He engages in hand-to-hand combat with other men. One man he takes on gets
knocked out in one punch.

纽时是比较客观靠谱，可读性强的左派媒体，比CNN强多了
没读完，注意到如下几点：
1. 2010年一个未向公众披露的调查显示：某隧道工程1/3的工人吃空饷，每天1000美元
工资
2. 工会收买政客要挟建筑商
3. 纽约隧道工程操作同样的机器，做类似量的工作，
需要的人手是亚洲澳洲欧洲（法国等）国家3-4倍
4. 挖隧道工人时薪＋福利每小时111元，周末节假日时薪翻倍，超时再翻倍到 400／
per hour， 结果发现工人工作很容易超时（为啥工程整体进度还是那么慢想不明白）

The small Colorado town of Dillon elected a gay man as mayor Tuesday. First-
term city council member Ron Holland defeated his opponent Don Parsons by a
vote of 90-72.
Holland, a former restaurateur and longtime HIV/AIDS activist, has lived in
Dillon for more than five years with his partner, according to the Gay and
Lesbian Victory Fund. Dillon, with a population of about 800 people, appeals
to skiers on their way to area resorts.
