| New York City looks like the set of a disaster movie this morning after a night of being battered by Superstorm Sandy. It hit the mainland at 6.30pm local time last night having laid waste to large parts of the coast during the day. The US city shut its mass transit system, schools, the stock exchange and Broadway, and ordered hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to leave home to get out of the way as Sandy zeroed in. A 13ft wall of water caused by the storm surge and high tides resulted in severe flooding to subways and road tunnels. Torrents of water poured into building works at Ground Zero,

As if I didn't already deeply respect you and the ldot staff for all that you do, that respect has grown by seeing you and your staff in action during the "storm of a lifetime".
Many prayers from the Gulf Coast to those suffering from Sandy - for safety, for peace of mind, and for the quick return to some sense of "normality" in the coming days.

The most powerful city in the most powerful nation in the world, brought to a standstill, powerless. Certainly a message and many life lessons there. Among them, that civilization, comfort, safety are a thin veneer indeed. And that our ability to emerge from disasters, both natural and man-caused, and survive as a great nation will depend on our common resolve and our re-commitment to what unites us. It's a very big reminder that we need to re-discover the "E Pluribus Unum-ness" that we've lost somewhere along the way. And also, that we need to select leaders who still believe in that motto.
Our prayers and our willingness to roll up our sleeves to help are with you out there in the path of the storm.

#9. The tidal surge only needs to go far enough inland to reach all the tunnels under Manhattan to create real pain. Recall the invisible om the streets flood that shut down the Chicago Loop after a dredge in the river poked a hole in the roof of an old tunnel. Most of the buildings lost power and communications when the water spread throughout the entire area shorting out all the wire and transformers housed underground.

Having survived hurricane Katrina here in Biloxi, I send all my prayers to those who have been hit by Sandy, and pray for a quick recovery. But, even after 7yrs, the majority of ocean front property between Boloxi and Gulfport is still empty and for sale. Seems no one wants ocean front property anymore. Will New York and New Jersey be the same?

And, at the end of the article, there's a

It shows you in real time how/when/if the roads/bridges/trains/subways/airports/etc. will be up and running. It puts a real-time picture on just how horrible the storm damage was.
SO glad Mrs. G is well!!

The most successful politicians write their own obituaries. I have read a number of Baroness Thatcher´s today and wondered whether the writers would be surprised if they were told she would probably agree with most of what was written, even in the Left-of-centre outlets. This is because successful politicians so dominate the debate on the issues they care about--which were many, in Thatcher´s case--that they determine the course of the argument including the response from opponents. They do this by defining themselves in the public imagination by what they are against rather than what they are for, and leaving only

First Lieutenant Kim, 42, said he had been forced to flee North Korea after he murdered a rival officer as the factions within his army unit battled for control.

Looks like there are too many cooks in the White House kitchen. White House assistant chef Sam Kass, who cooks weekly for President Obama, said Tuesday that he is facing a furlough brought about by crippling federal budget cuts. The chef, who is also the president’s senior nutrition policy adviser, is one of nearly 500 White House employees who are expected to receive furlough notices because of the so-called sequester. Speaking with food reporters Tuesday, Mr Kass said: ‘We’re being furloughed,’ according to Reuters. A White House spokesman who accompanied Kass to the press briefing declined to comment on the

In Brixton, south London, riot police were deployed as the crowds, which had been drinking since 5pm, started to become more aggressive smashing shop fronts and throwing paint bomb.

By Sanford’s math and reading of Obama administration stimulus allocation figures, the Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility received $43 million and “created or saved” an estimated 134 jobs. When divided, the numbers calculate to more than $320,000 per job, Sanford said. Sanford’s comments came during a visit to a Mount Pleasant branch of Lyerly’s Cleaners, where he carried in a load

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
