Airlines toted up losses topping $2 billion and struggled to get hundreds of thousands of travelers back home Wednesday after a week of crippled air travel, as questions and recriminations erupted over Europe’s chaotic response to the volcanic ash cloud. Civil aviation authorities defended their decisions to ground fleets and close the skies – and later to reopen them – against heated charges by airline chiefs that the decisions were based on flawed data or unsubstantiated fears. The aviation crisis sparked by a volcanic eruption in Iceland left millions in flightless limbo, created debilitating losses for airlines and other industries and even threatened Europe’s economic recovery. An aviation group called the financial fallout worse than the three-day worldwide shutdown after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. It was a lesson in mankind’s dependency on air travel, the vulnerability of a vital industry, and the confusion that can ensue when each nation decides for itself how to handle a problem that crosses borders. The air space over most of Europe opened Wednesday after the vast, invisible ash-laden cloud dispersed to levels deemed safe.

His debut album, “Love for Sale,” was released last month. In it, Tormé pays tribute to the “King of Pop” with his first single from the album — a cover of Michael Jackson’s 1979 hit, “Rock with You.” Tormé performed “Rock with You” in “The Early Show on Saturday Morning,” in our “Second Cup Cafe,” on the second anniversary of the “Gloved One’s” death. While he was immensely influenced by Jackson, Tormé didn’t get the chance to meet his idol. But, 무주출장업소 through a mutual friend, Tormé was able to witness the “King of Pop” in action at his rehearsals for what was to be Jackson’s “This Is It” tour. Tormé’s style honors the classics from his father’s time to today, in what has been described as a “modern take on time-honored pop, traditional jazz and old school R&B,” according to his official bio. There are other covers on “Love For Sale,” as...
