But under the hood, according to its owners and air-quality officials, was an example of cutting-edge diesel-electric technology: a V-12, 2,000-horsepower machine that dramatically cuts unhealthful emissions. Moving about 10 mph while occasionally slowing down for track switches and light signals, Robinson maneuvered the train through the seaport complex. It took Robinson only a few minutes to haul his load from one terminal to another less than a mile away. That's the task of a short-line railroad like his Pacific Harbor Line at the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex. Its mission is to switch carloads of imported goods onto tracks for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Union Pacific, which then transport the goods throughout the U. S. Pacific Harbor aims to replace its entire fleet of grimy 50-year-old locomotives with 16 custom-built, low-emission machines, which operate on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and exceed the Environmental Protection Agency's standards for air pollutantreduction. Each new locomotive costs about $1. 3 million. The locomotives burn 30% less fuel than the old ones and will cut smog-forming nitrous oxides by about 46% -- or about 163 tons -- each year, officials said . "It will give them an added advantage.

Donatella Versace was mining the same territory with a collection that put manly men in strong-shouldered, double-breasted jackets with built-in hoods, overcoats kicked up a notch with silk lapels -- some so wide they extended to the shoulders -- and generously cut trousers with ruler-width, plastic taping that aped a tuxedo side seam. More in the vein of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" than his majesty, Neil Barrett's "tuxedo ski" collection is just the sort of thing James Bond might wear to battle Blofeld on the slopes before schussing into an Alpine village for a little apres something: ski pants adorned with the tuxedo-stripe side seam, ski boots rendered in patent leather, silk/wool waistcoats with sporty racer backs and woolen ski overalls that were paired with formal-looking tailored ski parkas, tuxedo jackets and army field jackets. Gucci's collection felt a generation younger than what creative director Frida Giannini sent down the runway last season, perhaps because her inspiration was New York City band Gogol Bordello and lead singer Eugene Hutz (who inspired a character in the 2006 movie "Wristcutters: A Love Story"). The result was a Bohemian-military mixed bag; velvet and corduroy suits, accessorized at the waist with printed scarves and military-style medals (emblazoned with the Gucci griffin logo); soft-shouldered jackets paired with slouchy, extra-long trousers; brass buttons, metal-studded epaulets, braided metallic cuffs and the occasional Russian army jacket hammered home the warmonger/peacenik dichotomy.

Each event, from the deployment of the parachute to the firing of the thrusters that slowed the lander for the final 300 feet to the surface, occurred just as JPL had planned. As Phoenix whisked through the Martin atmosphere, temperatures on its heat shield reached 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit. After slowing in the thin atmosphere, the craft's parachute opened, reducing its descent to 5 mph as it approached within 100 feet of the surface.

""We are determined to recover streets that never should have ceased being ours," said Calderon, who had attended the memorial. Millan Gomez, a veteran officer, oversaw the drive against organized crime before taking over as chief of the Federal Preventive Police last month.

He gives his name as Riccardo Klement, part of the human flotsam and jetsam displaced by the convulsions of World War II, now seeking a fresh start in the New World. The Argentine diplomat in Italy evidently saw the matter as routine, despite noting "deficient" documentation, and issued "Klement" an entry visa in June 1950. And so Adolf Eichmann, the notorious engineer of the Holocaust, the man who kept the trains running on time to the death camps, made his way to Argentina and the serene life of a laborer and family man. The trajectory of Eichmann's life -- from faceless bureaucrat of genocide to wanted war criminal to prize prisoner of the state of Israel -- has been so thoroughly explored that it would seem few surprises remain.

Still, Laura's impending book deal is hardly the hottest gossip in publishing circles . State water deliveries could be slashed next year if California continues its dry streak, a move that could lead to widespread rationing. California Department of Water Resources officials Thursday said water agencies could get as little as 15% of their State Water Project allocations, although that figure could go up if Sierra Nevada rain and snowfall return to normal in the coming months. "We're clearly making a major call for extra conservation, but also permanent conservation," said water resources director Lester Snow, who renewed the Schwarzenegger administration's call for the construction of new reservoirs. Officials at Southern California's major water supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, say its board soon will discuss whether to initiate cutbacks. "We are preparing for the real possibility of water shortages and rationing," said Jeff Kightlinger, the MWD's general manager. Last spring was the driest since 1921 in the northern Sierra, depleting reservoirs in the State Water Project, which provides about a third of urban Southern California's water. A court ruling to protect delta smelt has reduced pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the crossroads for sending water south to the San Joaquin Valley and the Southland. Snow said state reservoirs are starting the rainy season at their lowest levels since 1977, when California was hit by a severe drought. But state records show that if all the reservoirs that supply California, including major ones on the Colorado River, are taken into account, the picture is not so bleak. The overall water storage is roughly 70% of the average for this time of year. This year's flows into Lake Powell, which catches water from the upper Colorado River Basin, were above average, easing a long-term drought on the river. Storms are expected statewide in the next few days and state meteorologist Elissa Lynn also said there is a potential for more precipitation this rainy season than last. Water agencies rarely get their full allotment of deliveries from the State Water Project, which promises more water on paper than it usually has the ability to deliver. Initial state project allocations, such as the 15% figure announced Thursday, also can change dramatically over the course of a year. The lowest was in 1993, when the state anticipated that it would deliver only 10% of its customers' water requests . action to outer space security and relevant countries," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao.

In New Jersey, where Republicans have their best opportunity to capture a Democratic-held seat, most recent surveys show Sen. Rey Maualuga has heard the talk, seen the highlights. More important, USC's All-American linebacker spent the season smack dab in the middle of it all. So when college football observers describe USC's defense as the best of the Pete Carroll era, and perhaps one of the top units in college football history, Maualuga just shrugs his broad shoulders. "The best is yet to come," he said matter-of-factly. Fifth-ranked USC (11-1) probably will have to be at its very best today when it plays sixth-ranked Penn State (11-1) in a Rose Bowl game that is expected to be a defensive battle. Statistically, Penn State is a near mirror image of USC, which rode its defense to a seventh consecutive Bowl Championship Series berth. And like USC, one stumble cost Big Ten Conference co-champion Penn State a chance to play for the BCS title. USC Coach Pete Carroll and his players spent the run-up to the Rose Bowl emphasizing that the Nittany Lions were only one point away from playing next week in South Florida instead of today in Pasadena. However, Penn State Coach Joe Paterno said the Pacific 10 Conference champion Trojans might be the nation's top team, despite its loss to an Oregon State squad that Penn State annihilated.

It did not take into account how Puckett had been identified: through a search of a large database.
