FAA faults American Eagle $2.5 million for misinformation

The Federal Aviation Administration is charging American Eagle $2.5 million for not ensuring that weight records were accurate on each plane on dozens of flights in the past two years. When the crew of an airplane has incorrect information about the amount of weight in the cargo area, it affects how the pilot will gauge its take-off and landing procedures. A certain weight calls for the appropriate speed, and without accurate information, ascension can be difficult, according to USA Today .

To Catch a Critic: Sietsema on the History of Restaurant Reviewing and Ethics

The Village Voice’s Robert Sietsema pens an in depth piece for the Columbia Journalism Review about the history of restaurant reviewing in New York . An excellent cultural piece, it charts the waters from Craig Claiborne’s seminal reviews for the Times in the 60′s to the food bloggers and the free for all of today. He touches upon Gael Greene , who first brought hyperbolic language to the medium (“After Gael Greene, the restaurant review would never be the same”); Reichl, who turned the review into a “bona fide literary form;” vernacular food lovers Calvin Trillin and Jane and Michael Stern; the first well known and not anonymous food critic, Restaurant Girl ; and Bruni, who Sietsema argues, bucked the growing trend to review a restaurant before it was ready
