Update: 5:00 p.m. Montana Rail Link released the following statement around 3:30 p.m.: "Initial assessment indicates compromised rail cars contained molten sulfur and asphalt.

Buying eyeglasses can set you back serious cash. The average cost of glasses from an optometrist runs about $350 before insurance, according to SightMD, and extra features like progressive bifocals or anti-reflective coating can run your bill up to $1,000. Near the turn of the 21st century, retailers selling eyeglasses online changed the financial equation for folks needing vision correction. Stores like ZenniOptical, EyeBuyDirect and Goggles4U started selling glasses for less than $20, sometimes as low as $7.

Wander here and there throughout the U.S., and you will find barns. Big barns. Little barns. Red barns. Grey barns. Wood barns. Stone barns. The true barn aficionado will say with a grin, "I never met a barn I didn't like." Every heritage barn has a story, and when you come across especially grand barns, the story will likely include the part about the original owner having first made his money some way other than farming — lumbering, mining, shipping — before giving farming a try. Or, the barns may have been built as part of research operations, state institution farms or educational campuses, such as the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan (1855), which became Michigan State University. Regretfully, most of these extraordinary barns are gone, but those that remain are cause for celebration and preservation. Such is the case in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where "when pine was king," the Kirby Carpenter Lumber Co. of Menominee, Mich., bought and ha...

It is not mandatory to have travel insurance coverage to visit France — unless you are traveling from a country that requires a Schengen visa. U.S. citizens can enter France with a valid passport for up to 90 days, after which they must submit a visa application. Although travel insurance is not required for American tourists, you may still choose to buy coverage. Travel insurance can reimburse you for prepaid, nonrefundable costs (subject to conditions) in the event of unexpected trip cancellations or delays. Most policies also protect your belongings, including your luggage, against theft, loss and damage. The U.S. Department of State recommends you purchase travel insurance if you do not have health care coverage abroad. France does not offer free health coverage to tourists, and treatment may be expensive if you require medical treatment while on vacation. It's a good idea to choose an insurance policy that covers sporting accidents and injuries if you're participating ...
