...Aviation Administration tussled with aircraft manufacturers and airlines that balked at paying for the upgraded seats. The FAA produced evidence that sturdier seats could have prevented 45 fatalities between 1984 and 1998. A deal was reached. In 2005, the FAA mandated that all U.S. aircraft built after October 2009 meet the "16g rule" - seats must be built to withstand crash forces equivalent to 16 times the force of gravity (older seats were 9g compliant). Ironically, the long negotiation period and concerns among the airlines that the FAA would make requirements retroactive means that almost all major airlines in operation today...
...government released a new policy that sets sharp targets for improving energy efficiency, increases the CO2 tax and promotes the development of new offshore wind turbines.

Harvard women’s swimming and diving looks to make a splash tomorrow in East Meadow, N.Y. at the three-day Ivy League Championships.

Video screens pop up from the table to serve as occasional teaching aids. The wines lining the walls were originally selected by Ron Georgiou, one of just 264 Masters of Wine in the world, and the restaurant regularly attracts special guests who put their own twist on the wine list - celebrated German wine-maker Egon Müller popped in last year...
...come to sell a house she owned but had never lived in. "My husband said I must not go, but I must," she told me. "'Baba,' I said, 'It is in God's hands.'" She was particularly nervous because her friends in Baghdad had told her they could not meet her at the airport. She would have to take a taxi or bus to a square nearby and meet them. There were only a handful of women on the plane, and Iman pointed to one in a headscarf seated ahead of us. "I asked this lady if she could show...
