Officials investigating the fiery Ohio plane crash that killed nine people say a pilot that had just landed at a nearby airport reported hearing no distress calls despite being on the same communications frequency as the aircraft that went down. Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board say the crashed plane had been expected to land at a small Akron airport that doesn't have a control tower, so the incoming flight was guided by a larger airport in the area. Investigators have recovered... Читать дальше...

DETROIT (AP) — Lexus put the red bows atop its cars a month early, and General Motors is advertising Black Friday deals two weeks before Thanksgiving as the auto industry copies traditional retailers with holiday discounts well before the holidays. Car buyers will reap good deals for a longer time, analysts say, as automakers battle to hold or increase their share of what likely will be record U.S. auto sales this year. "The consumer is in a great spot to get a great deal," says Tom Libby, manager... Читать дальше...

The bookends of Sen. John McCain’s volunteer-driven 2000 presidential campaign — a World War II veteran and a high school senior — greeted and seated a cold, frazzled Seattle reporter arriving late for a McCain town meeting in Lebanon, N.H. As I watched the event — McCain was beginning to take off in the Granite State’s primary — my Greatest Generation host conjured up a much-appreciated cup of cocoa. I went to thank the guy when the event ended, and he insisted in filling me up with coffee before the long drive back to Nashua.

[...] Marks is putting up Crabtree-style numbers as the Pac-12's leading receiver and a centerpiece of Leach's Air Raid offense. Marks has 69 catches through nine games for the surprising Cougars (6-3, 4-2 Pac-12). Leach, who is not prone to superlatives, said it's premature to compare Marks to Crabtree, who won two Biletnikoff awards as the top receiver in college football and now plays for the Oakland Raiders. The fiery Marks is the go-to receiver when the Cougars need to keep a drive alive. Читать дальше...

DETROIT (AP) — Shortly after Elizabeth Berry parked her bright yellow 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS on the street in front of her family's home in May 2014, flames engulfed the engine, destroying the car and scorching her mailbox. Two weeks ago, Berry learned that she is one of 1,345 car owners in towns across the U.S. whose cars caught fire even after getting the repair called for in the recall.

Egypt's state-run news agency cited bankers as saying that the value was set after the central bank "injected large amounts of dollars in the banks today." Hany Genena, head of research at Pharos Securities Brokerage, suspects that in addition to fighting the black market, the central bank may be creating artificial currency volatility to prepare the market and industries that deal with foreign currency for some kind of float. Egypt's economic outlook grew even bleaker following the Oct. 31 crash... Читать дальше...

Special clinics are springing up in hospitals to take care of the growing number of cancer survivors with this problem. Certain cancer drugs... Читать дальше...

GENEVA (AP) — A deal reached at a U.N. meeting on Wednesday opens the way for satellite tracking of airliners, a major breakthrough motivated by the mystery disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner last year.
