...Conspicuously absent from the A380 order list are casth-strapped U.S.-based airlines which are more interested in Airbus' rival: Boeing. The B-787 Dreamliner is a smaller fuel-efficient jet just shy of 300-seat capacity. Already 38 airlines have ordered 490 planes ranging in price from $148 million to about $189 million. Continental, the first to sign on, has an order out for 25. Qantas has committed to 45 with 20 options, and the right to purchase 50 more. Airbus wants its A350 (still in development and listed at $165 million) to compete head-to-head with...

Another Myers Park mother, Susan Arnette, claims when she and her daughter Brianna Govan were living in a homeless shelter, Brianna was frequently late or absent. Anderson forced her to leave school, saying she was "not Myers Park material." Documents obtained by TIME and interviews with former students, parents and school employees strongly suggest that Myers Park had an unofficial policy of ridding itself of underperforming students during Anderson's tenure from 2002 to 2005 and perhaps beyond...
...other seniors are as well.”The men’s foil competition will display senior Enoch Woodhouse and sophomore Kai Itameri-Kinter. Woodhouse makes the fourth senior qualifier.The epee squad was in unfamiliar territory, fencing without the 2006 epee national champion, junior Benjamin Ungar, absent for a World Cup event.Although last year Ungar could have petitioned for a bye in regionals and a spot for nationals, rule changes dictate that his decision to fence internationally means he will not be headed to Madison, N.J., in two weeks.“After last year, when he came...
