WorldReutersIndonesia urges more training for pilots after Lion Air crash
The comments shed further light on the areas under scrutiny as investigators prepare to publish their preliminary report on Nov. 28 or 29, one month after the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX dived into the Java Sea, killing all 189 on board. Now the investigation's focus appears to be expanding to the clarity of U.S.-approved procedures to help pilots prevent the 737 MAX over-reacting to such a data loss, and methods for training them. Soerjanto Tjahjono, head of Indonesia's transportation safety committee of crash investigators (KNKT), said on Monday that Indonesian regulators would tighten training requirements as a result of the findings of the investigation so far.

Chuck Schumer Calls On Rick Scott To Recuse Himself From Florida's Recounts
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday urged Gov. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) to recuse himself from recount procedures in Florida following midterm elections that resulted in three tight races ― including one in which Scott is a candidate. Schumer suggested any role Scott would play as governor in the recounts represents a major conflict of interest, given that he is challenging Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson in the Senate race that is one of those still up in the air. “Scott should recuse himself immediately,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State Of The Union.” “He has a self-interest in jaundicing this election.

PoliticsAFPDana Rohrabacher, quirky US congressman fond of Putin, loses seat
Representative Dana Rohrabacher, whose quixotic foreign policy campaigns made him persona non grata in Pakistan and Afghanistan and who became a rare US defender of Vladimir Putin, has lost his seat after 30 years. The 71-year-old Republican, whose exploits have included grabbing a gun to join Afghanistan's anti-Soviet mujahedin, was projected Saturday to have lost, four days after midterm elections in which Democrats seized the House of Representatives. Harley Rouda, a Democratic real estate developer, led Rohrabacher by four percentage points in a district in southern California's Orange County, a longtime conservative bastion that gave rise to Republicans Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan but where greater ethnic diversity has contributed to a shift toward Democrats.
BusinessAssociated PressPabst says MillerCoors is trying to put it out of business
Pabst Brewing Company and MillerCoors are going to trial, with hipster favorite Pabst contending that MillerCoors wants to put it out of business by ending a longstanding partnership through which it brews Pabst's beers. The case has high stakes for Pabst, whose lawyers argue that the company's very existence relies on the partnership with Chicago-based MillerCoors, which produces, packages and ships nearly all its products, which include Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Milwaukee, Natty Boh and Lone Star. MillerCoors, meanwhile, says it's not obligated to continue brewing for Pabst and that Pabst doesn't want to pay enough to justify doing so.

Broward Election Supervisor Will Likely Be Forced Out of Office
Broward County elections supervisor Brenda Snipes is soon expected to be removed from office by Florida governor Rick Scott or his likely successor, Representative Ron Desantis (R., Fla.), due to her multiple violations of Florida elections and public information law, Politico reported Monday. Snipes, who has twice been found guilty of violating election law in the past two years alone, has come under scrutiny in the wake of the midterm elections for refusing to disclose the number of absentee ballots received by her office and for contaminating some 200 valid provisional ballots by mixing in 22 rejected ballots. “This is not just the most troubled elections office in the state, it’s the most troubled elections office in the nation,” said Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has argued Snipes should be removed from office immediately after the ongoing recounts in the senate and gubernatorial races are complete.
