How to Cook American
Mr. Food Editor finds a classic American dish, weighs in on cooking shows, designs a menu for “M Train,” and waxes nostalgic for a Chinese dish."I like those diners, drive-ins and dives that Fieri visits, and learn a great deal from the men and women who cook and fist-bump with him along the way. You can decry the man’s aspect and sunglasses and hair. But to watch his show is to know that there is really, really good food in this country, if only you take the time to look for it." SIFTON

Blood Pressure, a Reading With a Habit of Straying
Measuring it is a relatively simple task. Measure it again and again, and you might find yourself on a roller-coaster ride."anyone whose pressure goes down to 120 or, in my case 110/60, does not have hypertension. His advice to patients is to abstain from obsessively monitoring their blood pressure."

Indonesia Cites Resetting of Circuit Breaker in 2014 AirAsia Crash
The move led to a series of electronic failures that caused the pilots to lose control of the plane before it fell into the Java Sea, killing all 162 people aboard.The crew was less than well trained.
I would call the problem at the start of the cascade a design flaw.
The Airbus A320-200 should be withdrawn from service to upgrade the rudder control.
