For EUR 159.- you can now rent a supervised hour in a professional level Airbus A320 simulator cockpit here in Vienna (60 minutes flight, plus briefing/debriefing, and you get to pick out of 24,000 airports around the world) . . .

I can think of far worse uses for that money.  Sounds neat.

Do you get to fly the plane, or do you just monitor simulated auto-pilot in flight?

I've looked closer and it seems you "assist" in the flying, i.e. basically some co-pilot-y stuff. Could still be rather neat.

I am reading that using the whole illegal phone tapping scandal, the UK will have a media authority.

Great.

'Bow and arrow-type' attack leaves 3 dead in Casper, Wyo., officials say

Three people were killed Friday in an attack involving a bow and arrow-type weapon at Casper College in Casper, Wyo., police and college officials said.

The attack occurred before 9 a.m. (7 a.m. ET) at the physical science center, said Rich Fujita, a spokesman for the college.

Police told NBC station KCWY of Casper that two of the bodies were found on campus. One was a male faculty member, and the other appeared to be of "student age," Fujita said. At least one of them had been stabbed with a "bow and arrow type" weapon, police said.

The third body was found about 2 miles off campus, police said; no cause of death was reported.

The suspected attacker was among those killed, police said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. The suspect, who apparently committed suicide, wasn't a current student at Casper College, and the incident doesn't appear to be school-related, police said.

The campus was locked down temporarily while police checked for other suspects, but the lockdown was later lifted. An alert on the community college's website said that all classes and activities had been canceled and that counselors were being provided for the colleges faculty, students and staff.

Casper College is a two-year community college of 4,400 students in Wyoming's second-largest city.

The school has a small security team on campus, but they're not armed. 

"It's such a small town that Casper police is very close," Fujita said.

Just how callous have 'we' got on languish; my initial reaction was "tricky committing suicide with a bow an arrow".

Saw that.  In the state where everyone owns 14 guns of all kinds, some idiot former student freaks out and goes all Rambo at Casper College...

I do wonder how he killed himself with a bow.

Maybe he drew it and let go of the wrong bit ?
