"Currently, the Blue Line is operated with Budd-built 2200-Series and 2600-Series rail cars which were delivered in 1969 and 1970 and 1981 through 1987. These cars are typically trained together because the older 2200-Series cars have “blinker doors” that open inward and are not ADA compatible. They are scheduled for retirement in 2010 when the new 5000-Series cars are delivered."

"Riders would either purchase a new “smart” phone or get a special computer chip installed in their old ones encoded with information about reduced fares. CTA passengers would then tap their phones on a touch pad, just as they currently do with fare cards. […] At a news conference Wednesday at the future site of the CTA’s $38 million Morgan Street station, Mayor Daley called the open fare collection system “vitally important” to the CTA’s future. The mayor said he’s determined to seek a “private partner.” In all, the aging CTA system needs $10 billion worth of upgrades, but has lined up funding for only $3 billion worth of those projects."

Ken Mehlman Comes Out →
“It’s taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life,” said Mehlman, now an executive vice-president with the New York City-based private equity firm, KKR. “Everybody has their own path to travel, their own journey, and for me, over the past few months, I’ve told my family, friends, former colleagues, and current colleagues, and they’ve been wonderful and supportive. The process has been something that’s made me a happier and better person. It’s something I wish I had done years ago.”
Usually that path doesn’t include being at the head of super anti-gay re-election campaigns or successfully pushing for states to tear up their constitutions to ban gays from privileged institutions. Congrats, hope you can clean up your mess. You can start by not randomly pulling the Muslim card to avoid your role in making gays feel more and more alienated in their own country:
He insisted, too, that President Bush “was no homophobe.” He often wondered why gay voters never formed common cause with Republican opponents of Islamic jihad, which he called “the greatest anti-gay force in the world right now.”
