Delays in 737 MAX certification flight may push off Boeing’s goal to win approval by mid-summer

The critical FAA certification flights on the updated Boeing 737 MAX are now unlikely to happen before late April. Boeing's publicly announced goal of winning FAA approval to fly the plane again by "mid-summer" now looks tight and could slip further. New 5:13 pm

FILE – This combination photo of undated file photos released by National Center for Missing & Exploited Children show missing children Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 7, left, and Tylee Ryan, 17. As authorities in Idaho continue to plead with the public for any information about the two kids missing for five months, experts say a potential criminal case against the mother, Lori Vallow, could be bolstered if she fails to meet a court-ordered deadline to produce the children. Joshua Vallow and Tylee Ryan haven’t been seen since late September, and police in Rexburg, Idaho have said they “strongly believe that Joshua and Tylee’s lives are in danger. Lori Vallow, who has recently been living in Hawaii, was given a court order earlier this week directing her to bring the kids to an Idaho Department of Health and Welfare office by 5pm Thursday.

THEN: On Monday, Jan. 5, 1880, snow began to fall on Seattle. And it kept on falling. In eight days, 64 inches of snow fell. It was, and still is, a local record. Schools were closed, telegraph lines went down, trains stopped, shipping stalled and a few photographs were taken ? including this one by the Peterson brothers in front of their studio at the foot of Cherry Street. On the right is Yesler?s Hall; farther up the hill, on Fourth Avenue, is the First Baptist Church.

The territorial governor wrote in 1880 that ice and snow were rare in Western Washington — the same day a record snowstorm buried Seattle
