Nebraska AAA Offers Defensive Flying Tips for Holiday Travel

With the two busy holiday travel periods approaching, AAA, North Americas largest travel organization, announced a series of defensive flying tips for airline passengers concerned about the frustrating problem of flight delays.

Clearly airlines, airports and federal agencies can all do a much better job of helping to prevent flight delays, said AAA President and CEO Robert L. Darbelnet. However changes will not be fast or easy and we should not be surprised if this trend continues. This holiday season, travelers are at risk of weather delays and other unforeseen mishaps. Americans need to practice Defensive Flying if they plan to have a pleasant and stress-free flight.

According to AAAs 2006 estimates, 4.8 million leisure travelers flew over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and more than nine million Americans flew during the Christmas-New Years time period.

Salmond’s bold new era of progressive nationalism

LOOKING BACK on 2007, it seems amazing that no-one seriously expected the SNP to win the May Scottish elections." Or so I wrote in this column 12 months ago in a piece imagining how Scotland would look in a year's time. Truth is, I genuinely didn't believe that the SNP would win Holyrood, even as I was forecasting it. The thinking among the Scottish political classes was that, whatever the polls said, the voters would turn back to Labour on the election eve. Many did, of course, but not enough. And the history of Scotland, and the UK, has been rewritten as a result.

May 3, 2007, was an extraordinary night, and no-one who cares about Scottish politics will ever forget it. As Labour and the Nationalists fought it out, hour by hour, seat by seat, the election nearly descended into chaos.

What to see at SXSW

Word has it the live show is not a straight recreation of the album, and deep down, no matter what type of music is being played, SXSW thrives on the acts that display an element that's not found in their recorded work. (Top alternatives: Jim Bianco at the Parish on March 13; Liam Finn at the Ale House on March14)

DeVotchKa (Thursday, March 13, midnight, Cedar Street Courtyard/Friday, March 14, midnight, Antone's) A great band. Yes, scoring "Little Miss Sunshine" got the Denver band's name out in the public a bit more, but the assuredness with which they perform their indie-gypsy-folk rock is simultaneously mesmerizing and soothing. They can make you dance, then spin on a dime and provide the feeling of an hour-long massage just a few minutes before it concludes. "A Mad and Faithful Telling," which Anti- will release March 18, is yet another leap forward in terms of the confidence with which they play and the sonic variety found in the arrangements.

Stadium Plans Unveiled

PUBLIC COSTS ARE EQUAL!!! 2) Parking/traffic: first of all don't pretend it isn't a pain in the *! at Rosenblatt right now. Just this past year I had to park 25 min from the stadium. look at the OWH article on stalls downtown w/in 12 min & stalls at Blatt & realize that a new stadium is the logical choice. could go on & on...
Posted by: Lizz Location: Omaha on Feb 27, 2008 at 09:46 PM If they can tear down Yankee stadium, we can tear down Rosenblatt! Change is good people! Embrace it! The College World Series brings significant business, money, and positive national attention to Omaha. If we lose it because we are not willing to embrace change, the city's finances will be much worse in the long run. As for the woman who said she "heard traffic is bad downtown" maybe she should try traveling down there! Do you really get an opinion on this project if you do not attend any games at Rosenblatt or appreciate our last major success as a city, the Qwest Center? I think there are plenty of Omahans that are ready and willing for a new stadium.
