Shhhhh... ....we're still listening for some word, or even a beep, from Beagle 2, last seen in the vicinity of Mars. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @8:45 PM	26.12.03
Has the Beagle landed? Earth to Beagle 2...Earth to Beagle 2...come in, Beagle 2. Beagle 2, can you read us? Hel-LOH! Excuse me! Beagle 2? Beagle 2? Please call your mom, Beagle 2. Beagle 2, phone home. We miss you. Operators are standing by, Beagle 2. Beagle 2, we need to hear from you. Please check in with the home office ASAP.

Track Santa tonight... ...in six different languages, thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Click here to follow the Jolly Old Elf and his tiny reindeer as they travel the globe, with the exception of the Czech Republic, where gifts are delivered by Jezicek (Baby Jesus), for whom tracking is not available. That link will only work from 7 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Dec. 24 until 5 a.m. Dec. 25. Meanwhile, the Beagle 2 is expected to land on Mars tomorrow; you can track its progress here. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @6:26 PM	24.12.03
Dateline, schmateline, part 2 From: The New York Times To: Janet Dagley Dagley Re: Dateline Dear Ms. Dagley: bill: it's true that the death in this case didn't take place in cincinnati, but we chose to dateline the story as we did because cincinnati was very much the focus of the events in the story, which is far larger and covers a far longer arc of time than the specific incident. the osha office, which is at the center of the story, is in cincinnati, as is the plumbing company, as is the crucial incident 2 weeks before the death. the father and mother live, separately, in suburbs just on the edge of the city, and the family is spread across the cincinnati area. given that the story encompasses all of this, i can't imagine datelining it otherwise. thanks so much for writing, and for your kind words about the series. best, bill borders, senior editor, The New York Times. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @5:33 PM	23.12.03
Dateline, schmateline To: The New York Times From: Janet Dagley Dagley Subject: Misleading information in dateline on worker safety article I applaud you on your series on worker safety, which began Sunday with the article, "When Workers Die: A Trench Caves In; a Young Worker is Dead. Is it a Crime?" (By the way, I don't think I've ever seen so much punctuation in a headline, but that's beside the point). The dateline is "Cincinnati" -- but the incident did not take place in Cincinnati. It did, as reporter David Barstow writes, take place "north of Cincinnati," but then that would have been the case if it had happened in Toledo, Detroit, Toronto, or the North Pole. As a former reporter for the Dayton Daily News, I recognized from your photo credits (Montgomery County Coroner's Office) that if the incident took place in Montgomery County, it must have been near Dayton, not near Cincinnati. As I discovered not from your article but from a 10-second Google search, it happened in Miamisburg, Ohio, a suburb of Dayton, not of Cincinnati. Cincinnati is in Hamilton County. Between Hamilton County and Montgomery County, where the accident happened, there are two other counties, Butler and Warren. So could you explain why the dateline was "Cincinnati" rather that "Dayton" (the county seat of Montgomery County) or "Miamisburg" (the city where the accident occurred)? Was it because your reporter flew into Cincinnati? In that case, it might as well have been "Erlanger, Kentucky," since that's where the Cincinnati airport is. Did your reporter stay in a Cincinnati hotel? Are some of Mr. Walters' survivors now living in Cincinnati? It's confusing. It appears you're going after a major prize in this investigation, and I wish you success. You'd stand a greater chance of winning, however, if your dateline weren't misleading. Unfortunately, those kinds of mistakes reinforce the stereotype made famous in Saul Steinberg's map, "View of the World from 9th Avenue." (That's the New Yorker cover showing that from a New Yorker's point of view, everything kind of runs together once you get west of the Hudson.) You never know: one or more of the judges deciding on prizes for your series just might be from that nondescript area just past Jersey: the Midwest. And one of those judges just might know that Cincinnati is NOT in Montgomery County.

Moving pictures The Queen Elizabeth 2 visited New York today for the last time this year, and one of the last times ever, since she's being replaced, or at least succeeded, by the Queen Mary 2 next year. In honor of the occasion, we present these animations of Towercam photos of the QE2's comings and going this year, using the magic of Animation Shop 3: Click on the still photos below to watch the animation above on a new page, as well as two other QE2 animations: posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @5:28 PM	21.12.03
