Amtrak Train Derails After Truck Collision Near Hanford
In California's Central Valley two cars and the locomotive derailed after colliding with a big rig truck carrying cotton trash south of Hanford. About 20 passengers sustained minor to moderate injuries as the 169 aboard were shaken but accounted for. The train halted after traveling 600 feet and derailing at a switchback. Meanwhile in Washington, Ben Bernanke defended Fed stimulus steps arguing lower long-term rates aid growth and reduce deficits while warning Congress on oversight bills.

The Supreme Court begins a new term with a high stakes case against Royal Dutch Shell over alleged Nigerian abuses. Justices weigh whether foreign victims can bring claims in U.S. courts under the Alien Tort Statute, balancing limits on corporate liability with accountability for atrocities.

Tax increases loom as year end fiscal cliff nears
The Tax Policy Center warns a broad range of taxpayers face large hikes if the tax cuts expire at year end. A middle income family earning 40 000 to 64 000 could see about 2000 more in taxes next year, while top earners may face steep rises, and nine of ten households could be affected by over 500 billion in increases.
