...easy to see why lawmakers might become accustomed to flying on the 89th Airlift Wing's jets. The planes sport first-class leather seats, workstations and galleys and are staffed with military personnel to whip up passengers' meals, carry their bags and fix their favorite drinks. And they can stretch out: the C-40, a military version of the 737, can fly with as few as five lawmakers aboard. The same planes carry up to 149 passengers for commercial airlines...

Flores, the current deputy majority leader, is only 32, and she's the legislature's only Hispanic female - which itself is a comment on both the Democratic and the Republican parties in Florida. Flores, who has also been mentioned...
...Beyond large humanoid robots or industrial ones, Japanese researchers have also created a number of consumer-friendly inventions made for fun or therapy, like pet seals and robot chef that can whip up pancakes. But no matter how clever or cuddly, even in Japan commercial robots have a serious flaw: their price. Consumers balk at their heavy price tags, which typically run into the thousands. Sony's AIBO robotic dog, which cost $2,000 per pup, opened to much fanfare only to be cut in 2006, seven years after its introduction...
