BusinessInsider.com 

Rafael Viñoly Architects

Why build a straightforward bridge for an unremarkable sum when the same bridge could be built as a circle for vast amounts of money?

A new bridge spanning (or circumnavigating) Laguna Garzón, a coastal lagoon in southeastern Uruguay, poses just that question.

It’s a circular bridge, or rather two joined semicircular bridges, that crosses the lagoon, which runs along the border of the states of Maldonado and Rocha. At a glance, it’s the sort of ridiculousness... Читать дальше...

Ottawa’s Craig Anderson shuts out Rangers

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

Craig Anderson stopped 35 shots for his third shutout this season and the Ottawa Senators snapped a two-game skid with a 3-0 win over the visiting New York Rangers on Sunday. Bobby Ryan, Mike Hoffman and Jean-Gabriel Pageau each scored for Ottawa (23-20-6) and Anderson earned his 32nd career shutout. The 18,940 on hand at Canadian Tire Centre were treated to a goaltending duel for much of the afternoon. Leading 1-0 early in the third, the Senators got a little breathing room as Hoffman scored his team-leading 22nd to make it 2-0. Читать дальше...

After a wild winter weekend, a difficult commute awaits

«Seattle Post-Intelligencer» (seattlepi.com) 

NEW YORK (AP) — After a weekend of sledding, snowboarding and staying put, the blizzard-blanketed Eastern U.S. will confront a Monday commute slowed by slick roads, damaged transit lines and endless mounds of snow. Authorities cautioned against unnecessary driving, airline schedules were in disarray and commuter trains will be delayed or cancelled for many as the work week begins after a storm that dumped near record snows on the densely populated Washington, D.C. to New York City corridor. Of at least 29 deaths blamed on the weather... Читать дальше...

Winning Iowa and New Hampshire Won't Do Much if Bernie Can't Win the Black Vote

The Huffington Post 

Here's the big problem for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. He will either win outright or make a powerful second place showing in both the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire primary on February 1. Why is that a problem?

Simple: The wins will mean next to nothing.

The two states are two of the whitest states in the country. Democratic voters in both states have a contrarian, quasi-populist streak. They have a history of thumbing their noses at traditional Democratic contenders. Читать дальше...

Weekend storm economic hit not as bad as feared

«Seattle Post-Intelligencer» (seattlepi.com) 

Restaurants, theaters, other entertainment venues and some retailers took the brunt of the hit, but overall, the impact might be a wash, said Chris Christopher, a U.S. macroeconomist at data firm IHS Global Insight. Some spending may just be delayed, like purchases of cars, houses, major appliances and even boots and warm clothing as people realize winter has finally set in. "After they did their shoveling," Christopher said, "they could be online shopping or ordering movies" via Netflix or cable on-demand services. Читать дальше...
