Bikers shushed
Cities from New York to Denver are giving motorcyclists the silent treatment. And that worries riders rights groups, which fear that a wave of ordinances aimed at muffling Harley-Davidsons, hushing Hondas and stifling Suzukis will create a confusing patchwork of laws that motorcyclists won't be able to navigate. The motorcycle industry is concerned it could turn these frustrated riders away. "From our perspective, this creates enormous problems for us because people notice the one motorcycle that makes a lot of noise," said Bill Wood, spokesman for the American Motorcyclist Association. "They don't notice the 50 that pass that don't. So there's a perception that motorcycles are noisy." Ordinances come in many forms. Some are against certain types of products - like mufflers that would rattle the apples off of trees - while others are aimed more on the intent of the driver, who may want to turn some heads or rile up the neighbors.

Q&A: Sam Michael
Nico and Alex always give me direct feedback after every race and test session as well. That's particularly good because it shows their commitment to the team and wanting to be an integral part of moving us back up the grid. Q: What have been the highs and lows of your year?
SM: Two highs of the year were the first couple of races because our car was more competitive than last year. Montreal was also good because Alex finished on the podium in really difficult circumstances. Lows included Monaco, where Nico was fast but because of traffic couldn't show it, and then Montreal, where he was really fast again but had to fuel under the safety car which ultimately damaged his race. .

The wife of runaway real estate lawyer Michael T. Jordan was not in on his decision to flee to Canada, authorities said. Charleston County sheriff's Detective Scott Rywelski said Monday he has spoken with Diane Langston-Jordan briefly but didn't think she knew in advance of her husband's plans to bolt ahead of a multimillion-dollar theft accusation. "At this point, there's nothing that points to her as having anything to do with it at all," Rywelski said. Jordan, 45, was arrested Friday morning after he tried to re-enter the U.S. from Canada. He was trying to cross at Peace Bridge in Buffalo, N.Y., in a car carrying camping gear, authorities said. Jordan had been the subject of a missing persons report after his wife reported he didn't return from a boating trip Wednesday in southern Charleston County.
