John Hotard, a spokesman for American, says the carrier reworked its pilot-training program in 1999 to de-emphasize use of the rudder and that both pilots on Flight 587 would have received the updated training. Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate all possible causes of the crash. The NTSB has asked NASA to help it analyze the tail fin, which was made of composite materials, in its effort to determine whether some structural flaw in the plane was responsible for the still mystifying crash...
...action next Tuesday at Lavietes Pavillion for a 7 p.m. showdown with the Rhode Island Rams. Then the Crimson take to the road for a cross town match-up with Northeastern on Dec. 15th before a clash with the Big East’s Syracuse Orangewomen in the Carrier Dome...
...American flyer named Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson) is down Behind Enemy Lines. The guys back on his aircraft carrier, led by Admiral Reigart (Gene Hackman), naturally want to rescue him. Their opponents do not want that to happen. This is not, perhaps, the most original premise in the history of popular fictions. But wait; it gets a lot better.

They want to execute him, because his F/A-18 plane...
Meantime, back on the carrier, Reigart is forced by NATO authorities to abort his rescue mission because it might upset a delicate cease-fire. The admiral hesitates; Burnett keeps running for his life. He's no longer the wisecracking rebel we first met, but despair is not part of his lexicon either.

He's a little bit handsome, a little bit funny, a little bit smart, a little bit cool--but not too much...
...crowded departure terminal at Stansted Airport near London, pinstripe-suited Canon executive Brian Owen, 58, is an easy-to-spot casualty of this corporate belt tightening. He's on his way to Ireland via Dublin-based Ryanair, and it's his first business trip on a low-fare carrier. Despite the daunting check-in wait, Owen--who like most discount flyers bought his ticket online--pronounces the experience so far "pretty painless." By comparison, Glasgow-bound Adrian Eve, 27, a marketing executive for aerospace firm BAE Systems, is a veteran of the low-cost skies. He's on the road...
