The A380 isn't being dropped, there will be a new engine version of it launched later this year at the Dubai Air Show, with its production life extended well into the 2020s.
That is true only if someone will buy them. The order book has been flat for some time. Any new orders have been offset by cancellations. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/...
The same economic factors that work against the 747 work against the 380.
doesn't it seem odd that the 2 parties in the US are now so similar, they differ only on highly emotional polarizing topics?
It's not a bug. It's a feature.
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.
I wonder if Schilling understands the "Streisand effect." The story probably increased the number of internet pervs checking out his daughter by orders of magnitude. Though internet pervs are mostly harmless, handling it quietly, with the schools and employers, might have been the most prudent course.
How many more stalkers know what she looks like and where she will be in the fall (a small school -- she'll be easy to find)?
A flexible endoscope is cleaned in a machine more like a kitchen dishwasher than an autoclave. The scope has internal channels for shooting air and water out of a nozzle on the tip. It has a large channel to pass instruments into the patient (biopsy forceps, cauterizers, even other more narrow endoscopes). An ERCP scope has an additional channel that carries a stiff wire that is used to deflect instruments coming out the end. This channel and wire is a very tight fit, so it is more difficult to clean.
Attachments to the channel ports should circulate the sterilizing fluids through all the channels. It's not difficult to imagine a clog preventing the fluid from circulating. Testing for leaks and clogs is part of the cleaning procedure, but in practice, of course, errors happen often:
The ADE 651 is a fake bomb detector[1] produced by ATSC (UK), which claimed that the device could effectively and accurately, from long range, detect the presence and location of various types of explosives, drugs, ivory, and other substances. The device has been sold to 20 countries in the Middle East and Far East, including Iraq and Afghanistan, for as much as $60,000 per unit. The Iraqi government is said to have spent £52 million ($85 million) on the devices.
Not mine. The trackpad stopped working about 2 years ago. I don't know about the other 2,499,999. It was an interesting rugged design, though I was disappointed that they didn't follow through with the early hand crank powered concept.
Nothing sets a mind into cement like being forced into something painful repeatedly.
It's called a "Conditioned Response" and becomes automatic. Hence the term "knee-jerk reaction".
People tend to teach their kids to avoid something that they had to learn the hard way in an attempt to spare them the suffering they had to endure themselves.
I'm still smarting from the double-whammy of Code Red and Nimda.
Donating sperm to two lesbians is a common theme in pornography. Maybe this guy watched too much, and his judgement was adversely effected in this case:
"Two chicks on craigslist want my sperm! Hmmm....."

May we have an "Interviews: Ask Jessie Jackson a Question" next?
True, except for some of the Apollo guys.

That episode guaranteed that no tin horn dictator will EVER give up their WMD program.
That seems logical, but Assad did just that:
Syria will give up control of chemical weapons

Always good for a chuckle, no matter how many times I've seen it.

Unless the one harassed happens to be the mayor.

Sandy Berger told her so.

Change that to "One weird trick" and you've got click-bait gold.
I'm surprised no one has blamed Snowden for the rise of ISIS and their ability to now avoid identification on-line...
Sarcasm?

All the breathless Polar Vortex talk reminds me of yesteryear when the local TV weather people discovered the big, bad "El Nino."
Often an agent will try to fill out a form, hoping that another exceptional agent will catch it. Finally, it goes to court.
