VW Says Emissions Cheating Was Not a One-Time Error
In its most detailed explanation yet of what led to the scandal, the German automaker cited “a chain of errors that were allowed to happen.”The Board of directors is responsible for the companies actions.
They are elected by the stockholders who own the company to manage the company.
"Blaming their victims" will not excuse them.
Lying is a fatal error.

How to Make Choosing the Right School Easier
Charter schools claim better performance than public schools, but conflicting data and unequal enrollment make it impossible for parents to decide.Charters are probably a bad idea.
Trying to claim all students should advance together is another.
Children are a normal distribution.
Some are limited most are normal. some are exceptional.

Officials Confirm Norovirus in a Chipotle Outbreak
Over 120 Boston College students have fallen ill and public health officials said that norovirus was found at a Chipotle restaurant at the center of the outbreak.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus
"Norovirus, sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug[1] in the UK, is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis in humans. It affects people of all ages.[2] The virus is transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact,[3] and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces.[4] The virus affects around 267 million people and causes over 200,000 deaths each year; these deaths are usually in less developed countries and in the very young, elderly and immunosuppressed.[5]
Norovirus infection is characterized by nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in some cases, loss of taste. General lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headache, and low-grade fever may occur. The disease is usually self-limiting, and severe illness is rare. Although having norovirus can be unpleasant, it is not usually dangerous and most who contract it make a full recovery within a couple of days.[1] Norovirus is rapidly inactivated by either sufficient heating or by chlorine-based disinfectants and polyquaternary amines, but the virus is less susceptible to alcohols and detergents.[6]
After infection, immunity to norovirus is usually incomplete and temporary,[7] with one publication drawing the conclusion that protective immunity to the same strain of norovirus lasts for six months, but that all such immunity is gone after two years.[8] Outbreaks of norovirus infection often occur in closed or semiclosed communities, such as long-term care facilities, overnight camps, hospitals, schools, prisons, dormitories, and cruise ships, where the infection spreads very rapidly either by person-to-person transmission or through contaminated food.[9] Many norovirus outbreaks have been traced to food that was handled by one infected person.[10]
The genus name Norovirus is derived from Norwalk virus, the only species of the genus. The species causes approximately 90% of epidemic nonbacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world,[11] and may be responsible for 50% of all foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the United States.[12][13]"
