I’m an all-weather New York City bike commuter who rarely takes the subway and even more rarely gets into an automobile. I’ve driven a car about a dozen times over the past 20 years (the number of years I’ve lived in New York). I go everywhere on two wheels and can carry almost anything on my bike. I’m not the only one. New York City is filled with ingenious bike commuters, messengers, and bike delivery people who transport all sorts of cargo on all kinds of bicycles.

SPRINGFIELD Edward Guerra Kodatt, appointed Sunday to replace former Speaker Michael Madigan, resigned abruptly Wednesday after Madigan and Chicago Ald. Marty Quinn issued a statement Tuesday night urging Kodatt to step down in light of unspecified “alleged questionable conduct.”
Madigan announced Wednesday he would back Angelica Guerrero Cuellar, the candidate who received the second-highest number of votes on Sunday.
Kodatt, 26, is listed as a former member of the House of Representatives on the Illinois General Assembly’s website. Kodatt, who is bilingual and of Ecuadorian decent, spent only three days serving as representative for the 22nd House District.

It is thought that one or more catalysts are involved in 95% of all commercially created chemical products at some stage in their manufacturing process. This has an estimated global economic impact of around $15 trillion each year.

For plastics manufacturing, petroleum refining, food and biofuel production and numerous other core chemical manufacturing processes, heterogeneous catalysts are crucial. Thermal degradation or sintering of the active material leads to catalyst performance decreasing and deactivating over time, which is a huge cost driver for chemical manufacturing.
Catalyst deactivation associated with decreased product yields and higher energy usage associated with regenerating or replacing spent catalysts costs billions in lost revenue each year.

After dazzling the A’s enough in just 27 games to make them express a strong interest in re-signing him, Tommy La Stella is instead moving across the Bay.
The Giants are finalizing a deal with the left-handed-hitting second baseman, according to multiple reports.
La Stella, 31, helped the A’s to the division title last year, batting .289 after coming from the Angels in a trade-deadline deal. He also recorded eight hits in the postseason, including a homer in the ALDS against Houston, and put up a .951 OPS in that series. A’s vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane told The Chronicle in September that re-signing La Stella was “at the top of the list” of the team’s priorities.
