The loss of one child is a devastating blow for any community. But in the last year, P.S. 221 was forced to say goodbye to not one, but three of its students, each of whom would have been part of this year's fifth grade graduating class.
On Thursday, the school held a memorial service for Alexandra Falabella, Fajir Javid and Steven Petillo, each of whom died in separate incidents within the past year.
"It's unheard of," said Principal Sheelia Twomey. "To have three [deaths] in one year -- it totally defeats any kinds of odds that you can think of."
The service opened with a brief statement from Twomey, followed by remarks from from teachers who had worked especially closely with each child. The fifth grade class, whose commencement was held on Wednesday, concluded the proceedings with a song in honor of their former classmates.
Family members of the children expressed their gratitude to the school for organizing the ceremony.
Joe Falabella, whose daughter Alexandra - better known as Lexie - passed away last year after a lengthy battle with cancer, said it meant a lot that the school was honoring his daughter. Falabella himself attended P.S. 221 as a child, and later worked there as an employee. He said his daughter will be remembered throughout the campus for her unfailing compassion.
"She was always worried about the other kid next to her, even when she was going through her own hard times," he said. "She was wise beyond her years because of what she went through -- I kind of went from having a 6-year-old daughter to a 20-year-old daughter. But she taught us a lot, in a short time."
Lexie's parents have established the Lexiebean Foundation in honor of their daughter, in order to support other families enduring illness.
Fajir Javid, who died last June from drowning, was another student at P.S. 221 renowned for her generosity and caring.
Diane Malanga was Javid's fourth grade teacher. She said that, in addition to Javid's love of candy - both eating it and sharing it with her classmates - she'll always remember her former student's endless desire to learn, and determination to try her best, even at subjects that she found difficult.
"She was always smiling," Malanga said. "Anything you told her, she was just so enthusiastic about. She always wanted to share the things she was doing, the things she was learning. She was just such a remarkable little girl."
Javid's older sister, 15-year-old Noor Javid, agreed.
"She was the most giving person on the face of this planet. She really, really loved to help," she said.
Michael Petillo, father of Steven Petillo, who was killed in a car crash in Virginia last August, said the tight-knit community at P.S. 221 has meant the world to him and his wife, Maria.
"Just to have them put a memorial out there - he'll always be part of the school," Petillo said, referring to the memorial plaque and garden planted near the school's entrance. "It means a lot."
"This was his second home," Maria said. "We're like family, and the kids are like family. It's a shame that the school got hit so hard."
The Petillo's are working to launch a foundation in their son's honor, to be called the Steven Petillo Field of Dreams Foundation, based on their son's undying love of baseball. The organization will revolve around enabling any child who wants to play ball to do so, regardless of financial circumstances or physical disabilities.
"Whatever the case is, it has to be baseball, because that was his life," Petillo said. "He lived for baseball." Those interested in contributing to the Steven Petillo Field of Dreams Foundation can contact Petillo directly at (917) 859-2657.
P.S. 221 has seen a great deal of tragedy in the past year, but one thing that everyone - parents, administrators and students themselves - agree on is that the school community will pull through it together.
"It's not supposed to happen -- three children in one year," Petillo said. "But if any school had to pull through a tragedy like this, it would be this school," Petillo said.
"It's just one big family. It always has been. We're proud to be part of this family forever."

This week, of Westhampton is looking to find a home for Max, a sweet, but shy and nervous, three-year-old Chihuahua mix.
According to Deanna Murphy, the client care coordinator for Bideawee, Max was rescued him from a high-kill municipal shelter.
"Max is very timid at first and it takes him some time to trust you, but once he knows that you are gentle, he loves to play and will cuddle," Murphy said. "Max is sensitive though and doesn't like to be touched on his paws, ears, and mouth; it makes him very nervous. He is seeking a patient and dedicated home, who understands his needs, will respect his space and will continue to socialize him, appropriately build up his confidence and teach him that he doesn't always have to protect his valuables."
Max, says Murphy would be best in a home with children over 12.
The adoption fee for Max is $150. All of Bideawee's pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Bideawee's pets receive socialization, exercise, behavioral training and other daily activities that let the staff get to know each animal's special personality to make the best match.
To adopt Max or any other animal, call the Adoption Center at 631-325-0200 or visit them at 118 Old Country Road, Westhampton.

The Entire GOP Morphs, Voltron Style, into a 'Scott Brown for Senate' Office
Remember way, way, way back in the last decade when it looked as though the Republican Party would be subjugated beneath the boot heel of a Democratic supermajority in Congress and health care reform was all but guaranteed?
We were all so young back then…
[A] new poll came out from Suffolk University showing Republican Scott Brown leading Democratic nominee Martha Coakley by four percentage points [in the special election for Ted Kennedy's Senate seat], 50 percent to 46. That's only the second poll to give Brown a lead, and the race is obviously too close to call — but still, trailing by four in Massachusetts can't feel great for Democrats. As pollster David Paleologos put it, "It's a Brown-out!"
Republican activists see Brown's blossoming chances as an opportunity to deal a crippling blow to the Obama administration, and are mobilizing to turn his bounce into an actual win. Politico reports that, across the country, other GOP campaigns are turning themselves temporarily into remote offices for Brown. In New York and Connecticut, Republican candidates for governor and the Senate are urging supporters to donate to Brown, and travel to Massachusetts to volunteer. In Florida, Republican Senate rivals Marco Rubio and Gov. Charlie Crist are trying to outdo each other in their support for the candidate.. And as far off as Texas, local Republicans are phone banking for their Massachusetts brother-in-arms.
Yeah, but I'll bet things are going equally well on the Democratic side of this important special election…
[T]here is a subdued, almost dispassionate quality to [Martha Coakley's] public appearances, which are surprisingly few. Her voice is not hoarse from late-night rallies. Even yesterday, the day after a hard-hitting debate, she had no public campaign appearances in the state.
Coakley bristles at the suggestion that, with so little time left, in an election with such high stakes, she is being too passive.
"As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?'" she fires back, in an apparent reference to a Brown online video of him doing just that. "This is a special election. And I know that I have the support of Kim Driscoll. And I now know the members of the [Salem] School Committee, who know far more people than I could ever meet."
That's the… attitude?
This all seems pretty dismal now, but even if Brown does manage to grab a Massachusetts Senate seat for the first time since the Earth's crust originally cooled, the Democratic still has the midterm elections in November to turn things around.
Hey, I hope our new Republican overlords are benevolent, and give us liberals bathroom breaks while we build their giant glowing megachurch monoliths for them.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
January 1942. "Elm Street -- Theater Row in Dallas." View full size. Medium format safety negative by Arthur Rothstein for the FSA. Supersize wallpaper.
"A team of hoofers,
Was the headline,
At the Majestic,
Down in Dallas.
But they cancelled the day,
Their agent called to say...
You can open the bill at the Palace!"
I cannot explain what drew me to open the super size wallpaper image, but I am glad I did. You constantly outdo yourself, Dave.
If you keep walking in this direction on Elm, you'll find yourself at the front door of the Texas School Book Depository.
Just a comment: this is not, nor was Deep Ellum. If you were to walk a few blocks east, you would find Deep Ellum. This part of Elm was considered Theatre Row.
I was living on Eastside Avenue and Carroll Street in Dallas in 1948. I was 10 and recall getting on my bike and riding downtown to the Majestic to see "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein."
I don't remember locking my bike and I know my parents never locked our doors. It was a different time in America.
The Majestic had a big living room up the stairs with a TV which most people didn't have as yet. After watching a movie I would sometimes watch TV with other patrons.
Having lived in Dallas all my life (born 1936), I can recall the scene looking exactly as pictured above. In response to Brent who spied the FAKE sign past the Palace Theater, allow me to clarify that it actually said F-A-K-E-S, as in Fakes Furniture & Carpet Co., located at 2509 Elm.
For what it's worth, I still own a bedroom suite my parents bought at that Hart's store beside the Majestic.
The street actually takes a pretty big dip where that sign is. I can vouch for that as I walked that sidewalk two days ago and drew a picture of the Titches building on the left from where that sign was.
This photo is taken looking west down Elm Street from the corner of Olive. The good news is that not all those buildings are gone. On the right side, the Majestic Theater (1921) remains, as well as the Hart Furniture Store Building (1888) next door to it. Do you see the heart-shaped neon sign that reads "Hart's"? That building is still on the NW corner of Elm and Harwood Street. The Tower Building is also still standing just beyond the Majestic with the stair stepped roof. The entire block between Harwood and Olive on the right side of the photo however is now surface parking. On the left side of the photo the Titche-Goettinger department store building is still there and is condos and apartments (at Elm and St. Paul). The White Plaza Hotel is also still there but is now called the Aristocrat Hotel. The left side of the street across from the Majestic is now a 5 story parking garage. What a great photo! Thanks for posting!
I love your addition to the "supersize" wallpaper!
Most of these wonderful buildings are gone. Go to Google Maps and enter 2036 Elm Street and click "streetview" and look west. Mostly parking lots and garages. It looks like a street (Harwood St.) now runs perpendicular to Elm a couple of buildings east of the Majestic, about where Winn Furniture stands in the photo.
This area got pretty seedy in the late 40's and 50's.
Two blocks south of the photo location was The Carousel Club, owned by Jack Ruby - the guy who shot Oswald.
"Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight. And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light." - The Flatlanders

The Majestic is playing "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" which was the fifth Tarzan film that MGM did. Released in December 1941, it starred series regulars Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield as "Boy." It co-starred English character actor Reginald Owen, and Irish character actor Barry Fitzgerald just three years before his double Oscar nomination for "Going My Way." (Fitzgerald was nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for the role of Father Fitzgibbon - he lost Best Supporting Actor and won Best Actor and spawned a new Academy Awards rule that you couldn't be nominated in two acting categories for playing the same role in the same movie.)
The other sign is something I see at the very end of the street, just to the left of the Palace Theater sign [below]. I swear the letters are
Weird huh?
I always wanted a high-res pic of world famous Shorpy building!
Cute watermark on the wallpaper!
That's Elm Street in Dallas = Deep Ellum as in Deep Ellum Blues as in "when you go down in Deep Ellum, keep your carburetor clean, 'cause the women in Deep Ellum sellin' dirty gasoline."
The Majestic Theater opened in 1921 - history here: http://www.liveatthemajestic.com/history.shtm

DURHAM — Duke University has settled a lawsuit against its insurance company over costs associated with the Duke lacrosse scandal.
The National Union Fire Insurance Co., an affiliate of insurance giant AIG, and Duke had been wrangling over whether the company should reimburse the university for costs tied to the confidential settlements of lawsuits with three former lacrosse players and the former lacrosse coach.
Duke agreed to dismiss the suit, and each party will pay its own attorneys fees. The terms of the settlement have not been made public.
Initially, AIG said it was left in the dark and shouldn't have to pay for any of the settlement costs. It said university officials violated the contract by not telling the company about the settlements with the players until after the fact. The university argued that it was barred from disclosing information because of the settlements confidentiality clause.
The case stems from rape allegations that an escort-service dancer lodged against three players after a lacrosse team party in March 2006. Before all the facts were gathered and any criminal charges were filed, Duke suspended the team's season.
In April 2007, state Attorney General Roy Cooper dismissed all charges against the wrongly accused. In June 2007, Duke entered a settlement with three players.

What's going on, anyway?
I've been a newspaper reporter for about a thousand years, and over time you realize that interviews are unpredictable, free-form affairs. OK, maybe that's because my line of questioning sometimes drifts in unpredictable ways. Fortunately, most folks are nice enough to follow along, respond as best they can.
That's my way of setting the scene of an interview earlier this month with Butch Clements, a vice president at B&W Y-12 and the long-time security chief at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant. It was a little unusual, but not that much.
I was working on a story about the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and Clements was generous enough to share his thoughts and remembrances of 9/11, what took place then and since then from a security perspective.
After a while, of course, the conversation shifted.
The contract at Y-12 is up for bids, as part of a plan to consolidate management of the Oak Ridge plant with the Pantex Plant in Texas, and I asked the 65-year-old Clements, a 20-year veteran with the Army before joining the team at Y-12 in 1989, if he planned to stick around for the next contract.
"I believe so," he said. "Right now, I love my job. I have a fantastic organization. I've got a great working relationship with my boss and my customers. And I probably get asked this question about 10 times a week."
I asked Clements who he was affiliated with on the rebid.
"I don't believe it's far enough along in the process for people to have made a decision about who's partnering with who and what they're going to do. Right now, we just have the draft RFP, and that is going to get fleshed out (comments were due this past Monday, Sept. 19), and there'll be a final RFP. . . But I'm with B&W."
You're a B&W guy?
''I'm with B&W.''
OK, but B&W Y-12 is a partnership of Babcock & Wilcox and Becthel National, and there are reports that the two companies are parting ways on bids for the new contract.
"I'm actually not with either one," Clements said. "I'm with B&W Y-12, and I believe I'll still be with B&W Y-12 after we win the contract . . . Or whatever."
I didn't think that was possible, so I asked Clements if he actually knew more about the arrangements than he was letting on.
"I really don't. DOE is meeting with these companies, and they're coming in and they're all making their proposals. They're talking about things they'd like to see different in the RFP, and then the RFP will get finalized, and when the RFP gets finalized and comes out, each of the companies will make a final decision about how who they want to partner with and how they want to partner and what they want to bid on and then they'll put their teams together. And so I'll have to wait and see what happens with that. And if I'm invited to be on the team, I'll be on the team."
I asked Clements how long he'd like to work.
''Until it's not fun anymore.''
Another five years or so?
"I'm not thinking of any timeframe."
You're not anxious to leave, obviously.
"I'm not anxious to leave, but I'm not afraid to leave if it's the right thing for me to do. I'm very fortunate. I've got good health, got a great wife, been married for 40 years. She'll probably keep me around a little bit longer, I hope. Like I said, I've got a great organization with smart, dedicated people who are trying to do the righ thing. Got a reat working relationship with YSO, our customers, and a great working relationship with my boss and my peers . . . And so I see no reason that I would want to leave."

Olympics Ratings Powerhouse for WTMJ
Are the Olympics still a golden opportunity for Channel 4, asked the headline on my column last week?
If early ratings are any indication the answer is a resounding yes.
The Milwaukee area market had the second highest ratings in the nation on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) for Friday's opening ceremonies, behind Seattle. The peak was at 9:15 p.m. when the coverage earned a 30 rating. And the WTMJ newscast, which moved to 11 p.m , earned an average of a 22 rating.
On Saturday WTMJ had a 22.3, the highest ratings of any NBC affiliate in the nation, beating out the snow belt cities of Salt Lake City, Minneapolis, Columbus, Seattle, Denver, Cleveland, Portland and St. Louis.
Sunday's ratings were a 23 during prime time and daytime coverage earned a 13.5 rating.
A nationwide audience of 67.5 million watched the opening ceremonies, 17 million more than watched the opening ceremonies of the winter games in Torino in 2006, or a 35% increase.
The ceremonies were the most watched ever for a non US winter Olympics.

Eatery will keep on peddling despite fire
A fire damaged the Peddler Steakhouse on Blowing Rock Road last Tuesday, but construction is already underway and plans in place to reopen.
Owner Murray Broome said he hopes to open the doors in approximately two months.
"Thank goodness for small towns," Broome said.
"We already have our contractors in place."
The entire kitchen and electrical system will need to be replaced.
"Because of the age of the building, extra efforts must be made to ensure that we meet current codes and regulations," Broome said.
"Due to the rapid response time and extraordinary efforts of the Boone Fire Department, the dining room and main structure of the building were not seriously damaged."
This year marks Broome's 40th year in business with the Peddler.
He worked there for two years before purchasing the restaurant in 1971.
"Fortunately, until now, we have had no major incidents. We will take this opportunity to bring you a totally up-to-code, better-functioning, more efficient Peddler Steakhouse ready for another 40 years," Broome said.
The community has shown a tremendous amount of support, he added, from hotels, restaurants, churches, past and present employees. "We are proud to be a part of this community," he said.
Broome said the employees will continue to receive a paycheck during the closure.
"I hope they'll hang in with us through the two-month closure," he said.
The Peddler Steakhouse will extend Peddler cards and honor gift certificates past the expiration date for the amount of time the restaurant is closed.
Broome said the organizations and businesses that had planned holiday parties at the Peddler had already been contacted. Broome assisted them in planning parties at other locations.

New Albany has made a lot of noise the last two seasons in basketball, with most of the focus staying on the girls side. The state's top ranked team, who currently still hold a national ranking in the USA Today poll, will again make a push for a state title, but behind them, in the shadows, are the boys.
The Bulldogs traveled to Dyersburg, Tenn. last week to participate in a holiday tournament, taking on three tough opponents (Jackson Southside, Briarcrest and Brighton) and coming out on top as the tournament champions.
The win over Briarcrest is particularly special, as the Saints are one of the better teams from the Memphis area, and this is the second year in a row the 'Dawgs have come out on top in this match-up.
Talking with NAHS head coach Brad Gray Tuesday night, he noted that this tournament will hopefully help his team should they make a return trip to the postseason this year.
"We played quality teams who are very athletic and fundamentally sound," he said. "They play good basketball, and it was good competition for us and will help us down the road because if we're fortunate enough to make it to the north half tournament, we'll play the same kind of format; three good teams, three nights in a row, so it was good practice, and hopefully it will help us down the road."
Including Tuesday night's win over Itawamba, the Bulldogs have won four straight since their setback at Shannon last month, and that loss was the first in division for the 'Dawgs since the 2008-2009 season.
While New Albany is achieving success on the boys side, they are still somewhat under the radar, ranked fourth in 4A by the Clarion Ledger at 14-2, and behind Rosa Fort (17-0) who ended the Bulldogs' season last year.
The 'Dawgs are currently averaging 68.3 points per game, led by Tadarious Coburn with 16.8 points and 7.1 rebounds.
On top of Coburn's success so far this season, Gray has a ton of talent, both starting and even ones contributing off the bench, including Malcolm Spears, Moses Kingsley, Kareem Brown and Eric Chaney.
New Albany is reeling off impressive wins and will definitely make a run for, not only the county championship next weekend, but also their second straight division championship.
The rematch with Shannon is on their minds right now, which will take place on Jan. 18, and with the way the team is currently playing, Bulldog fans could possibly cheer on two teams in Jackson this year; a bold statement I will stand by myself.

Ego of the Week: Ruani Ribe
This cheerleader is an awful liar, obsesses over the word "obsessed" and speaks out against the atrocity that is the Penn toast–throwing tradition.
Street: What's your best cheer?
Ruani Ribe: "P–E–N–N, Let's go Penn, exclamation point." I used to be the exclamation point when I was a freshman. That was the highlight of my Penn career. Now I'm big and old.
Street: Have you ever had a sudden urge to throw off a cheer pyramid?
RR: No, no, not at all. Once you're up there, you literally squeeze as tight as you can and hope you stay up there. Not hope, I mean. You usually do.
Street: Which two people, fictional or nonfictional, would you want in your pyramid?
RR: I think I would choose some sexy men. Maybe some Calvin Klein underwear models underneath me — or on top of me — holding me up. Like David Beckham. Oh my god, my boyfriend is going to kill me.
Street: What's your guilty pleasure?
RR: Reality TV. I don't watch anything else. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of O.C. … I feel like I'm friends with all them and invested in their lives.
Street: You're stuck in an elevator. What do you do?
RR: Honestly, I'm such a freak, I'd just start freaking out. Maybe when that's over I'd just start counting things. Counting the buttons. The ceiling tiles. I'd imagine horrible scenarios, like in that James Franco movie where he has to chop off his arm.
Street: Give us two truths and a lie.
RR: I have ancestry that traces to the Mayflower, I have a twin sister… and I love cotton candy. Do you want to guess the lie?
Street: Well, I guess the last one because you paused…
RR: Wait! I'm kidding! They're all true! I hate cotton candy. That's what I meant to say.
Street: What's your favorite Penn tradition?
RR: At the end of the games, definitely doing the "Red and Blue," I just love watching all these people — especially all the old people, the 80 year–olds, getting out of the seats and standing up, and they know all the words. It gets me every time. Toast–throwing, not so much.
Street: Why not?
RR: I get hit with it. People sometimes cover the toast in mustard or jelly, but a lot of times we don't just get toast, we get challah bread, Jimmy Johns, hoagie bread, bagels, pretzels. It's more like the carbohydrate toss.
Street: Are they aiming at you guys?
RR: Oh yeah. Oh, they are totally aiming at us. They like, sometimes ball up the toast and throw it.
Street: Have you've ever been hit?
RR: I have, by toast. I tried to dodge it, you dodge one, but another one boomerangs. These things go in all kinds of directions. You never know where it's gonna go.
Street: Is there anything you'd like to say those toast–throwers?
RR: They need better aim!

A white powder used in older pickle recipes to add crispness. It works by introducing calcium to the pectin of the food to be pickled.
Pickling lime is alkaline, and must be washed off completely before the food is placed in vinegar. Failure to do so could result in a less acidic pickling solution, and create an environment where bacteria are able to thrive. Botulism cases have been linked to this problem; and for this reason, the use of pickling lime is no longer recommended.
Also Known As: calcium hydroxide, slaked lime

Everyone loves an underdog.
For the past few weeks, I've been following the story of Phoenix, the Jack Russell terrier pup who was lit on fire late last month and left to die on Buffalo's East Side, only to be rescued and started along the road to recovery thanks to observant neighbors, City of Buffalo Animal Shelter and the Buffalo Small Animal Hospital.
I'm not alone, judging by the frequency with which the puppy's resilient little face, bandaged and bundled and missing most of his ears, keeps popping up on my Facebook feed and news searches. Everyone loves Phoenix. Everyone wants to help. And everyone wants the people who did this to be brought to justice. (Two Buffalo teenagers were arrested in the crime Tuesday and each charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals.)
That's hardly surprising. It's a story made to pull in public emotion, from the righteous fury at people who could do this to a tiny puppy; sympathy for the pup, who seems so chipper despite his wounds, and amazement at the fact that, despite the awful burns, Phoenix really does seem to be on the road to recovery.
Buffalo media outlets have reported that thousands of dollars in donations for his care have poured into the shelter and there have been countless offers of adoption. A look at the shelter's Facebook page shows well-wishes, adoption inquires and donation offers from Western New Yorkers and even throughout the country.
And that's great.
I hope Phoenix finds a wonderful home, a fantastic home, an owner who loves him and babies him and makes sure he never knows another day of fear, want or need ever in his life. I hope that very sincerely.
But then I look around the Phoenix updates on the Facebook page of the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, or those back before he entered the headlines and WNY hearts.


text: We had the great pleasure of working with Guided Collective on "Take on Ted", directing the video production for streaming, working on the set design and doing the tittle bumpers. It was an event that allowed fashion bloggers from the US to control Ted Baker's photographic studio at its London HQ. In a nutshell, the bloggers became the puppet masters of a live shoot, controlling everything from the models, makeup, hair to clothing choice. They had 15mins to create a look and thereby throw down the style gauntlet. The catch? They could only use Twitter and a live video stream to call the shots, but could also call on their followers for tips.

Looking to the skies
Nothing big is expected from the Paris Air Show this year, as the global airline industry is going through a turbulent phase because of the financial crisis.
June 15, 2009 11:27 by Aarti Nagraj
The 100th Paris Air Show starts on Monday, even as industry players and analysts predict a gloomy picture of the airline industry because of the financial crisis. The event is also overshadowed by the crash of an Air France Airbus A330 into the Atlantic two weeks ago, which killed all 228 people on board, and left investigators questioning the technical systems of the A330.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), airline revenues will fall by $80 billion, or 15 percent, this year, to $448 billion, with passenger traffic volume down 8 percent and cargo traffic down 17 percent. The IATA has also forecast global losses of $9 billion this year.
"All we need is a plague of locusts to complete the scenario," the BBC quotes Qantas Airways CEO Alan Joyce as saying.
"From the end of World War II through last year, there was not a single year without some growth in global GDP," James McNerney, CEO of Boeing, said recently. Until this year, "global businesses have been flying with a favorable tail wind," he said. But now "we have gone to flying into the teeth of a fierce head wind."
"We still lack visibility on 2010, and the airlines lack visibility even more," said Thomas Enders, CEO of Boeing's rival, Airbus.
According to the Associated Press, Boeing has taken orders for 73 planes this year, but with cancellations of 66, the net order intake is only 7 jets. Airbus has booked only 32 orders, but seen fewer cancellations, and has a net order of 11 jets.
However, both the airline makers have order backlogs of around 3,500 planes.

Originally appeared in The Daily.
In December 1945, an Egyptian peasant named Muhammad Ali Samman and his brother wandered away from their village in central Egypt, hoping to scoop up a few buckets of soft dirt to fertilize his crops. Digging next to a large boulder, Muhammad Ali found a mysterious earthenware jar about 3 feet tall. He and his brother backed away from it, worrying that it might contain a genie. Then, on further reflection, they considered that it might contain gold, and they smashed it apart, thereby releasing a force in some ways more disruptive to traditional Christianity than any genie could have been.

Defensive lapses irk McLaren
Manager apologizes for leaving without comment on Friday
NEW YORK -- Mariners manager John McLaren apologized for not being available to the media following his club's series-opening loss to the Yankees on Friday night.It was the first time since becoming the Mariners' skipper midway through last season that McLaren did not conduct a postgame media session. "I will be very blunt and honest," McLaren said prior to Saturday afternoon's game. "I just felt it was better for me not to speak. I wasn't very happy, and I probably would have said something I would have regretted. I kind of thought it was better not to talk to you guys, and I apologize." The Mariners committed four errors in Friday's 5-1 loss, a frigid series opener, and they continued to struggle offensively, held to four hits by Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang and three relievers. The loss dropped Seattle to a season-high four games below .500. The temperature at game time was 49 degrees, typical of what the Mariners have experienced during the first month of the season. The temperature was actually one degree higher than the average first-pitch temperature on the road for the Mariners this season, discounting the three games played inside the domed Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. "Let's be honest," McLaren said. "The weather has not been our kind of weather, but with that said, we can't use that as an excuse. The other team is playing in it, too. That's the hand we've been dealt. We have to fight our way through it and do a better job. "When you are winning, you don't think about things like [cold weather]. When you are losing, it seems like everything is bothering you." The Mariners are 1-6 in road games played when the first-pitch temperature is below 61 degrees. Three of the four errors made in Friday night's game led to unearned runs, spoiling yet another quality start. It has been an ongoing saga the entire season.
