"I went into SFO r28L last week, no glide slope, and no papis visual approach only and the DME doesn't read 0dme at the threshols!

Very easy to undershoot or overshoot without vertical guidance! Espesecially as this crew probably hadn't done a visual approach for a long time! "

Submission + - US pressuring Hong Kong to arrest Snowden while Snowden has flown to Moscow (scmp.com) 2

Taco Cowboy writes:

Is the United States of America a country which still obeys the Rule of Law ?

In an irony twist, the government of the United States is reminding Hong Kong to follow the
Rule of Law while itself has violated the Constitution of the United States of America

The United States is publicly putting pressure on Hong Kong to arrest Mr. Edward Snowden.

“If Hong Kong doesn’t act soon, it will complicate our bilateral relations and raise questions about Hong Kong’s commitment to the rule of law,” said a senior administration official

Having worked for three retail chains at various points in my career, pricing mistakes are usually of two varieties. First someone at the central office typos a price that is pushed out to the store. The other problem is when the new price is pushed out to the stores, but the communication line is down to a particular store. The new price doesn't register at the store.
Twas real fun at one chain I worked for with 1000 stores, and I admin'd that network/pricing system. Think we were successful in communicating to all of them every day? Not hardly. If you notice a pricing mistake, most check out people will correct for it at the register if you point it out, in my experience.
