...flight-data recorder and cockpit voice recorder both stopped working when EgyptAir 990's engines were cut off. It seems that these recorders rely totally on power from the engines. However, logic tells us they should have an independent power source (batteries) for each recorder. That way data would be available up to the last minute. Am I right in assuming they do not have their own power source? ENRIQUE SCHONFELDT Delta...

...Europe this year. And lately, American consumers have shown signs of rebelling against products such as Monsanto's modified seeds, which are at the heart of the company's agribusiness. Those inklings of dissent were enough, apparently, to make up executives' minds: They would complete a merger and quickly cut the agribusiness free from the rest of the company, letting it fend for itself. That amputation, execs hope, will leave Monsanto and Pharmacia & Upjohn's pharmaceuticals division to take the market by storm - unhindered by bad publicity...
