After three safety incidents with 787s, over the last week, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced it will review them. Before initially approving them, the FAA already spent two hundred thousand hours looking over the planes.
According to the FAA they will be focusing on the planes' electrical systems, during this review. 787s rely on their electrical systems much more than previous airplanes. The FAA's review will not require the grounding of the 787 fleet.
On Wednesday, an All Nippon Airways flight from Yamaguchi prefecture to Tokyo was cancelled due to brake problems. That incident followed two that happened for Japan Airlines at Logan International Airport, in Boston. The first happened on Monday, when an auxiliary battery system caught on fire, after landing. It was followed on Tuesday, when another 787 started leaking fuel, as it was taxiing for take off.
Both airlines say that this will not change their mind about using the
787s, and neither will cancel their orders to have many more made. They
feel that the problems are just growing pains, which will be worked out
as the planes are used. Other airlines stated similar opinions.
Despite the support of the airlines, Boeing's stock has fallen each day this week. Aerospace
analysts are suggesting that Boeing should have focused more on quality
assurance and rigorous testing, instead of mass production of the
planes.
What happens when an East Coast mob boss is completely taking over 1949 Los Angeles?
Most fall to the bribes and the rest to the fear. But some will have the courage to do whatever it takes, to fight for their city.
In Gangster Squad, six cops have that courage and will leave behind their badges and risk everything to take back the future of what they love.
As you can expect this is violent movie, it's basically a 1949 gang war. For the most part there isn't actually that much blood, so you know Tarantino wasn't involved. But the violence does pretty much open the film, and it sticks right through til the end.
The cinematography, for the film, was very well done. It brings an almost noire feel to it, but mixed with some shots and coloring that was reminiscent of films like 300 and Immortals.
Some will be surprised to find out that Nick Nolte is the leading role, as he's barely seen in the trailers, but he's got a solid role here. Sean Penn plays an excellent villain, totally selling his portrayal of Mickey Cohen. Emma Stone is stunning as ever, and her role is both bigger and smaller than the trailer suggests.
Ryan Gosling seems to have two voices in the movie. During the first part, he's almost got a whiny tone to him, which was just odd. Luckily that does go away and the character expected from the trailers does show up.
The movie also tars: Josh Brolin, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Peña, and Robert Patrick.

Three activists for the PKK were found dead, on Thursday, in Paris.
Workers at the Information Center of Kurdistan noticed blood coming out from under a door, Thursday morning. When they broke the door down, they found the bodies of three of their coworkers. All three women had been executed, with a bullet to the head. Sakine Cansiz, fifty-six, had been one of the founders of the PKK.
Fidan Dogan, twenty-eight, and Leyla Soylemez, twenty-five, worked with her trying to build European support for the group.
Each of the women was from Turkey. French police are working to find any clues as to who murdered the three, in what is being considered a purely political killing. The PKK, or Kurdistan Workers Party, has been fighting since the 80s for an independent Kurdistan.
