All new planes have their issues. They'll take a few weeks (or hopefully days) to figure out what's ailing it & it'll be back to its beloved skies in no time. I hope Boeing has enough financial reserves to weather the storm of revenues

We don't disagree. I was arguing the point advanced by some that hotel tenants represent a safety risk . Alright then, help me with this. In the context of Hotels. Say a 4*+ hotel. What are the zoning folks occupying themselves with ?

How about a 4* star hotel or an SPG property ? is your conception of a hotel an off-the-ramp motel 6 in the Ghetto. You do realize that some of the wealthiest people in the country abandon homeownership for a care-free hotel life (Marissa M

My understanding is that Cleawire is repurposing their spectrum for LTE. isn't that a zero sum game ? Are these guys (technically) legitimate or are they just trying to milk the last cents out of an already obsoleted Wimax infrastructure ?

Yes , but wouldn't Nbr 2 in itself be worth a lot if the patient would make lifestyle changes in response to increased risks highlighted in their genetic profile. Suppose you have a genetic proclivity for alcoholism, wouldn't most people wa

Why not ? laws could be passed to forbid the use of genetic profiles in establishing premium rates the same way gender or ethnicity are not allowed for use when calculating credit scores. We're talking about a win-win-win (consumer, insuran
