The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is many things.Its luxurious, of course. Virtually
every inch of its interior is draped in fine leathers, exotic woods
or carpet with a pile so deep you may lose a shoe
in it. If plastic is the future, this cars style is firmly
rooted in the past.Its also powerful, with a 616 hp 12-cylinder engine
that makes it the most potent Bentley sedan ever built.Thats in terms
of horsepower. Its big sister, the 505 hp Bentley Mulsanne, trumps it
on torque, with something like a jazillion pound-feet compared to the Flying
Spurs healthy 590 lb-ft, but were not talking tow trucks here, and
horsepower equals speed.On that front, the Flying Spur lives up to its
name, sprinting from 0 to 100 mph in 9.5 seconds on its
way to an unrestricted maximum velocity of 200 mph, fastest of any
sedan in the world today.Or snowmobile. Its all-wheel-drive system and adjustable
air-suspension make it one of the most capable cold weather cars, and
likely the classiest way to take five people on a quick run
up the Dalton Highway.No, thats not the primary reason customers will spend
$205,825 to buy one, but its nice to know you can check
out the oil investments firsthand when necessary. I managed to get a
taste of what that might be like, courtesy of one of the
polar vortices Canada keeps sending us this year.After gliding over the
potholed streets of Manhattan as if they were billiard tables, I pointed

Photo/Colorado Community Media, Hannah GarciaSafety concerns have put a
double-amputee high school basketball player's dreams on hold.The Colorado
High School Activities Association told Bailey Roby earlier this month he
could no longer play after game officials balked when they learned Roby
didn't have an official letter of authorization.At the heart of the issue
is a national high school rule that bans players with prosthetic devices
if they place opponents at a disadvantage or increase the risk of
injury to the athlete or others. His coach at Mountain Vista High
School says he understands the concerns.Roby tells The Denver Post the ruling
does not make sense because he has been playing school basketball for
several years, beginning with a junior varsity team.Roby, who stand 6-foot-5
on the prosthetic legs, was reportedly born without a fibula in both
legs and had them amputated before his first birthday. He never had
a problem with getting clearance to play until he reached the varsity
level, which includes faster and stronger opponents. The Associated Press
