What we learned about Boeing from the probe into Alaska Airlines 737 MAX blowout
The hearing was part of the National Transportation Safety Board’s probe into why a door plug flew off a Boeing 737 MAX plane midair on Jan. 5. Alaska Airlines flight 1282 landed in Portland, Ore., roughly 30 minutes after takeoff without any major injuries to passengers and crew. The door-plug debacle spawned more stringent federal oversight of Boeing’s manufacturing operations and leadership changes at the plane maker. A Seattle-area employee on a crew that specializes in removing and reinstalling door plugs described Boeing’s safety culture as “garbage. Paul Wright, a Boeing safety executive, said the company’s analysis found that shifting of the canisters didn’t prevent passengers from getting oxygen.

Rare emergency order issued to stop use of weed killer that poses significant risk to fetuses
Dacthal is commonly used for weed control with crops such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and onions. (Jae C. Hong / Associated Press)Federal regulators issued a rare emergency order Tuesday to stop the use of a popular weed killer they say causes significant risk to farmworkers and fetuses. The chemical is commonly used for weed control with crops such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and onions. The movement of the weed killer through the air to areas near treated fields could also put fetuses and pregnant women at risk, the EPA said. Despite the emergency order, the EPA said it could still take months before the product is pulled off shelves because of procedural requirements.

Pelosi on Biden: 'We did not have a campaign that was on the path to victory'
The former House speaker gave her most extensive explanation of her actions that helped push the president out of the 2024 campaignRep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) said that she joined the effort to convince President Biden to abandon his reelection bid because the president's campaign was losing badly and placing "rose petals" on the path to a victory by former president Donald Trump. "Now I was really asking for a better campaign. We did not have a campaign that was on the path to victory. Members knew that in their districts," the former House speaker told a small group of reporters during an interview Wednesday promoting her new book. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/07/nancy-pelosi-joe-biden-dropped-out-reelection-campaign/

Next FAFSA will be released in phases, Education Department says
After the revamped student aid form upended the last college application season, upcoming changes spur mixed reactions. The Education Department said Wednesday it will launch the next Free Application for Federal Student Aid in phases to mitigate the problems that plagued the rollout of the redesigned form this year, a strategy that is being met with a mix of cautious optimism and disappointment. Starting Oct. 1, the department will release the 2025-2026 application for testing with a limited set of students and colleges. The department said the phased rollout will help identify and resolve system errors and allow the agency to incorporate user feedback to ensure the application is easy to use. Some families are still awaiting financial aid packages, weeks away from the start of the fall semester.

SAINT-DENIS, France - A track and field meet is not for the slow and inattentive. Different events are being waged at every corner of the stadium, with athletes leaping, running and throwing, and the Olympics' entire five-ring circus keeps spectators' heads spinning. But no matter where one looks at Stade de France during this Olympic meet, they're sure to see one thing: Americans winning.

Taiwanese Olympic boxer in gender controversy advances to gold medal fight as opponent does 'XX' gesture
Taiwanese Olympic boxer Lin Yu-ting defeated Turkish fighter Esra Yildiz Kahraman via unanimous decision in their semifinal bout in the 57-kilogram division on Wednesday night at the Paris Olympics. Lin moved to the gold medal fight and Yildiz will take home a bronze as there are no bronze-medal bouts in Olympic boxing. Lin appeared to land more punches despite the aggressiveness of the Turkish fighter, and the judges noticed.

Real Grading Scale Used in California Public Schools?
Dr. Phil McGraw used the same example when discussing American public education on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast in October 2022. In addition, the San Diego Unified and San Francisco Unified school districts had districtwide grading scales for middle- and high-schoolers that match the standard "A = 90-100%" grading scale most Americans are used to. Therefore, although the grading scale shown on "Dr. Phil" might exist in the state of California, it certainly is not statewide. In a normal ABCDF grading scale, student assignments are given point values and scored based on a percentage of points. Under standards-based grading systems, educators change more than just the grading scale.
