Совпало с 250-летним юбилеем университета.
Куча народу, безумный траффик, в качестве свадебного генерала - Обама на черном вертолете, secret service на каждом углу, снайперы, собаки.
Обаму нарядили в университетский прикид, дали почетного доктора. В наказание получили речь, коротенько, минут на сорок.

computer glitch at a California air traffic control center that led officials to halt takeoffs at Los Angeles International Airport was caused by a U-2 spy plane still in use by the US military, passing through air space monitored by the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center that appears to have overloaded ERAM, a computer system at the center. According to NBC News, computers at the center began operations to prevent the U-2 from colliding with other aircraft, even though the U-2 was flying at an altitude of 60,000 feet and other airplanes passing through the region's air space were miles below. FAA technical specialists resolved the specific issue that triggered the problem on Wednesday, and the FAA has put in place mitigation measures as engineers complete development of software changes,"

О нераскрывшейся снежинке. Ну бывает - дело житейское.

Я посмотрел и американскую и российскую запись прямого эфира.

Да, в американской снежинка не раскрылась и не зажглась.
А в российской - через несколько секунд кольцо уже горело!!!.
А еще через 20 секунд отреагировала коментаторша - "ой, одно кольцо не открылось ... а открылось!".

Т.е. россияне переплюнули китайцев, которые компьютерно удваивали фейерверк.

The National Weather Service is investigating whether a tornado touched down in New Jersey but has not yet been able to confirm it.

Meteorologist Mike Layer said significantly strong winds were reported from Berkeley Heights to Summit this morning and weakened when they reached Essex County.

A tornado just might have touched down on nearby Snyder Avenue. New Jersey state climatologist David Robinson said the National Weather Service will be sending a team to western Union County this afternoon to determine if the damage was caused by a tornado.

Супругу чуть не унесло вместе с машиной ... Поваленных деревьев и веток как после Санди ...

Супруга обзавелась remote starter, чтобы не в холодную машину садиться поутру.

Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

A week (or a month) always begins and ends in the same year.
The machine that a program runs on will always be in the GMT time zone.
Ok, that’s not true. But at least the time zone in which a program has to run will never change.
Well, surely there will never be a change to the time zone in which a program hast to run in production.
The system clock will always be set to the correct local time.
