'Formally known as The Deerpath -- but "the car" to club members -- the private commuter car on Metra's Union Pacific North Line is a tradition in Lake Forest, dating to 1929. A group of businessmen paid the Chicago & North Western Railway $15,000 that first year to run their car.'

"Setting up a market is old hat in the Windy City, the capital of the nation's futures industry. But in a twist, a Chicago Internet firm is offering everyday Web users and corporate giants a chance to predict outcomes."
