Zach Thornton's line vs. Phillies: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 78 P.

That's an encouraging sign for the Mets. In his second start, the rookie allowed the opening batter to score and three hits in the first but kept the Phillies down from there.

Mets 1, Phillies 1, after six.

Setmayer: The mental gymnastics here that are going on to try to rationalize the fact that Donald Trump is surrendering to Iran. He's bored. He has made a strategic mistake. It's a quagmire right now. And a lot of people understand this is politically really bad for the president. So he's just trying to do what he does and sell a con.

As she should. Imagine pouring your soul out to a juror just for a judge to dismiss them so she can announce “boys will be boys”

Before a 190,000-pound bridge can be lifted into place on active Metro-North tracks over the course of 48 hours, it has to get to Harlem first.

Weeks before each weekend replacement, crews transport, outfit, and position each piece of the bridge so everything is perfect when the installation window arrives.

This is the work behind the work.

That planning has helped keep the Park Avenue Viaduct project 51 months ahead of schedule and $93 million under budget.

Another moment as Gallagher threads a good ball through to Tel, who cuts inside Acheampong but smashes well over to spark 'that's why you're going down' from the Chelsea faithful. Spurs slowly getting some joy. 1-0. 37'

Japan has the world’s best railway system. 28% of Japanese passenger-kilometers are by rail. Germany manages 6.4%, and the USA manages 0.25%. Just one Japanese company, JR East, carries more passengers than China’s entire railway system, and four times as many than Britain’s.

What is the secret of its success?

https://t.co/rLumhzU3of

Part of the answer is that Japanese railway companies don't just operate trains. They run hospitals, supermarkets, department stores, amusement parks, office complexes, and retirement homes around their railway stations. One of them co-built Tokyo Disneyland. Another owns a baseball team. A third created its own all-women musical theater in 1914, which is still running today.

The logic is elegant: a railway increases the developable value of land around its stations, but normally that value accrues to landowners, not the railway operator. Japanese railway companies captured this value by owning and developing the land themselves.

About half of the revenue of Japanese railway companies comes from ‘side businesses’ like these. Allowing railway operators to capture more of the value they created meant that more lines were profitable, making a far larger system financially viable.

This may sound like a radically novel approach. But in fact, an exactly similar system existed in nineteenth-century America. The success of Japanese railways does not lie in some unreplicable feature of Japanese culture: it lies in good policy. If they learnt the right lessons from it, many countries could replicate Japan’s success.
