Dubbed the Advanced Regional Jet for the 21st Century - the ARJ21 - the aircraft is the fruit of China's first solo commercial aircraft project in nearly 40 years, and it promises to be one of the world's most technologically sophisticated when it takes off for the first time in March 2008. Onboard are the most advanced avionics, propulsion and malfunction-monitoring systems available. With room for 90 passengers (up to 105 in a stretch version), "the ARJ21 will prove China...

The CDC then dispatched investigators who uncovered a host of other violations, including unauthorized experiments, failure to report three other infections of Q fever, failure to have all technicians vetted...
...word “the,” from issues of when to capitalize the word, to its placement in alphabetical indexes when appearing at the beginning of a title. “It’s good research,” Moeliker said of Browne’s project, “and it’s also serious research.” But seriousness didn’t seem to be at the forefront of anyone else’s mind last night.
