Churches share the season's joy with musicals, nativity tableaus
Josh Spangler knows exactly where he'll be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight: In the woods next to Trinity Church, dressed as Joseph with a pregnant Mary in tow, pleading with an innkeeper for a room. His moment in the spotlight takes place every six minutes and is one scene from "The Christmas Journey." In it, tour guides take visitors on a woodsy walk past biblical scenes acted out by Trinity members. "It's a good way to share with people who wouldn't normally go and sit in church and listen to the Christmas message," said Spangler, 27, who lives in Laingsburg. .
EXPO Magazine’s 2006 Best New Show Award Winners
In addition to e-mail and online advertising, they ran about 100 print ads a year for both markets, all of which were traded. The cost: About $2 million, says Pretner.
The results: The first show attracted 60 percent of the top 200 U.S. retailers, including buyers from all 50 states and 83 countries, and featured 10 of the top 25 U.S. furniture manufacturers. Capitalizing on the success of the first show and lease-up of the building, World Market Center received $225 million in additional financing for construction of Phase Two, which is already fully leased, and future building at the complex. World Market Center launched the second Las Vegas Market in January 2006.
Lessons learned: Forecasting attendance was a moving target, say Pretner. World Market Center doubled its original estimates.

News | Is John McCain a War Hero?
He intends to post them on the Web, where they'll join a pile of documents that, Willbanks insists, proves McCain collaborated with the Communists during his five years as a POW. Willbanks has a paying job, as a bus driver for the City of Mesa. But he was recently reassigned to drive an adult day-care van. He's excited about it; the older people will want to talk about war history, and he can give them packets of information he keeps on McCain. He's already given out 15 or so. "I give them a packet, and they come back and say, 'Well, that goddamn traitor,'" he says. The "documents" include an article McCain wrote for U.S. News & World Report in 1973, upon his release from prison camp. In the article, McCain admits that he--like many POWs--confessed to war crimes under physical and emotional duress.

BA pilot feared the worst as he struggled to land plane
THE pilot of the British Airways aircraft that crash-landed at Heathrow said he feared the flight would end in "catastrophe" as he struggled to cope with a double engine failure just two miles from touchdown. First Officer John Coward, 41, said both engines lost power simultaneously, leaving him with just seconds to bring the aircraft down. He managed to clear the perimeter fence before landing short of the runway with "not just one thud but a series of thuds". Investigators examining the wreckage of flight BA038 are now focusing on the theory that the crash was caused by a failure in the avionics and electronics systems that control the plane’s engines. British Airways is expected to examine the systems of every aircraft in its 43-strong fleet of Boeing 777s, although the Air Accidents Investigations Branch says there is no need to ground the planes at this stage.
