Uh-Oh: Boeing’s Huge Cargo Plane Lands at Tiny Airport by Mistake
By Justin Bachman November 21, 2013

At least they found Kansas. A heavily modified 747 used by Boeing (BA) to transport parts of its 787 Dreamliner landed at the wrong airport in Wichita, an embarrassing mistake that led to a flurry of technical calculations to determine whether the gigantic cargo plane could depart.

The 747 Dreamlifter, operated by Atlas Air (AAWW), was on a regular shuttle flight yesterday from Grottaglie, Italy, where a Boeing partner makes 787 fuselage sections. The cargo plane had stopped in New York for three hours before continuing to Wichita and landing on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, the flight crew chose Colonel James Jabara Airport, a small airport with a 6,100-foot runway that’s not designed for large aircraft. There are three airports on the east side of Wichita, including the plane’s intended destination, McConnell Air Force Base.

Boeing assembles the front sections of the 787 in Wichita and has a fleet of four Dreamlifters to ferry sections of the new plane. Atlas Air has filed a flight plan for an eight-minute flight across Wichita on Thursday afternoon, according to FlightAware, which tracks air traffic.

姜郁美指出，從一百年一月一日至今年十一月十九日止，該公司總共從中國進口九千零九十五公噸，從泰國進口十八．七五公噸。加工食品業者透露，中國生產的麥芽糊精與台灣製造的價差，每公斤約五元。
姜郁美表示，環泰公司的包裝若未標示產地，地方衛生局可以處罰三萬到三百萬元，一件一罰。如果只是標示不實，未涉品質問題 (食品級否.......)，改標後就可以上架，與下游廠商無關。

今天出刊最新一期的商業周刊報導指稱，委託檢測專家銘傳大學生物科技學系副教授陳良宇，在11月12日對市售乳品的脂溶性物質分析，國內前三大品牌，市占率合計超過 6成的味全、統一、光泉無一倖免，鮮奶中都殘留抗生素等來自乳牛的治療用藥。
這些殘留禁藥，包括抗憂鬱劑、避孕藥、塑化劑、甚至有雌激素等，發現從生產流程、政府把關以及檢驗單位都有一連串的漏洞。食安問題再度引發民眾恐慌。
針對商業周刊報導，統一企業回應表示，統一於生乳進廠生產前，每批次均依國家法規經過抗生物質、磺胺劑、抗生素(青黴素、四環黴素、氯黴素)等項目檢測， 確認合格後，才會投入生產製造，製成成品也定期送檢，檢測項目包含9種塑化劑、多項動物用藥殘留等，檢驗結果都符合政府規範。
針對商業周刊報導提及之抗生素pyrimido、止痛劑「維可汀」6,7-dehydroxyl-vincadine、避孕藥Tetrachloro- o-benzoquinone部分，經查證均非國內法定動物用藥，政府目前無公告標準檢驗方法，因此依法並未就此等項目進行檢測。
統一表示，此份聲明將同步送交農委會、衛福部、台南市衛生局及桃園縣衛生局。

Google, HP Halt Chromebook 11 Sales 

Eight complaints about charger failures lead to suspension of sales.

Google's Chromebook business suffered a setback on Wednesday when Google and HP suspended sales of HP's Chromebook 11.

The companies took action "after receiving a small number of user reports that some chargers included with the device have been damaged due to overheating during use," said Caesar Sengupta, VP of product management, in a blog post.

Google declined to provide the number of HP Chromebooks that have been shipped to date. The company has not released any official sales figures for Chromebooks since the devices were introduced in 2011, despite reports from its growing stable of hardware partners that Chromebooks are selling well.
A source familiar with the investigation said eight separate reports of charger damage have been received, none of which have resulted in injury or the damage of other property. The chargers were made by a third-party supplier.

According to Sengupta, Google and HP are working with the Consumer Product Safety Commision on an appropriate response, and the companies plan to provide more details when they can. Presumably, the companies will bring the Chromebook 11 back as soon as possible, so as not to miss out on the US holiday buying season.
Until then, Sengupta advises current HP Chromebook 11 owners not to use the charger that came with the laptop. He suggests using any Underwriters Laboratories-listed micro-USB charger with the notebook as an alternative.
Certain micro-USB chargers, however, put out too little power, which can result in an error message. One user in a Google Groups post notes that trying other micro-USB chargers led to this popup message: "Low power charger connected. Your Chromebook may not charge while it is on. Consider using the official charger."
This error message itself may be the result of inaccurate charger identification, as observed in a recent post to Chromium's issues forum. A response by Puneet Kumar, an engineer and co-founder at Google-owned chip maker Agnilux, suggests Chromebooks occasionally have trouble identifying the connected power supply. "The chip used to detect the power supply has known failure modes which make the whole detection logic about 90% accurate at best," Kumar wrote in his reply.
Google introduced the HP Chromebook 11 in early October, at a price of $279.
The sub-$300 laptop market has been a bright spot in an otherwise dreary PC market. Over the summer, Stephen Baker, an analyst with NPD Group, said that the market for laptops priced below $300 is expected to grow 10 percent in 2013. Baker said that Chromebooks represent between 20 percent and 25 percent of the under-$300 notebook market, a segment that accounts for about 15 percent to 20 percent of the overall US notebook market.
Google appears to be eager to take advantage of demand for affordably priced laptops. Over the summer, it tripled the number of retail partners offering Chromebooks, now over 6,600, by adding Wal-Mart and Staples to the mix.
