In its preliminary investigative report, released on March 6, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said Airbus had initially said it didn't know of any other similar events. But when the same thing happened again, involving a different aircraft, on Dec. 27, Airbus combed its computerized flight files and found data fingerprints suggesting similar ADIRU problems had occurred on a total of four flights. One of the earlier instances, in fact, included a September 2006 event on the same plane that entered the uncommanded dive in October (the other three flights had continued safely on). The same VCR-sized ADIRU was to blame in both those cases, although it had supposedly undergone a needed realignment following the 2006 event. All three planes carried the same brand and model of ADIRU, as do 397 of the 900 330s and 340s in the Airbus fleet.

[Middle English abusen, from Old French abuser, from abus, improper use, from Latin abūsus, past participle of abūtī, to misuse : ab-, away; see ab-1 + ūtī, to use.]
abuser a·bus'er n.
SYNONYMS abuse, misuse, mistreat, ill-treat, maltreat. These verbs mean to treat wrongfully or harmfully. Abuse applies to injurious or improper treatment: "We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us" (Aldo Leopold). Misuse stresses incorrect or unknowledgeable handling: "How often misused words generate misleading thoughts" (Herbert Spencer). Mistreat, ill-treat, and maltreat all share the sense of inflicting injury, often intentionally: "I had seen many more patients die from being mistreated for consumption than from consumption itself" (Earl of Lytton). The army had orders not to ill-treat the prisoners. "When we misuse [a language other than our native language], we are in fact trying to reduce its element of foreignness. We let ourselves maltreat it as though it naturally belonged to us" (Manchester Guardian Weekly).
She told BBC News: "If you looked back 10 years, you might come across children on the street who were being exploited.
"Now it's hidden. Networks are involved and they are moving the children around. The abusers use mobile phones and the internet. They groom the children online and then offline.
"What we need is for local authorities and the police to have an expert who can advise on sexual exploitation."

When did 'grooming' become a dirty word?
Not this type of grooming
WHO, WHAT, WHY?
The Magazine answers... |
Grooming. In the past 20 years it has taken on a whole new meaning, and one which eclipses all other definitions bar the original reference to beautify oneself or one's steed.
While dictionaries note that it's been used for more than a century to mean preparing a successor, or coaching someone for a career or contest, today it commonly refers to child sex offenders.
 |
THE ANSWER
1887: First used to mean prepare for specific career, role or contest
1985: First used in reference to paedophiles
'Groom' first recorded in 13th Century to mean 'boy' then 'man-servant'
By 17th Century applied only to someone who tended a horse
More recently used to mean recruitment of terrorists
 |
It was the Chicago Tribune that first applied the definition to the methods of a paedophile, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. In a 1985 story the paper reported: "These 'friendly molesters' become acquainted with their targeted victim, gaining their trust while secretly grooming the child as a sexual partner."
It's this pejorative meaning of the word that has outraged senior Conservatives commenting on the arrest of their front bench spokesman Damian Green MP.
They say police questioned Mr Green - the shadow immigration minister - and suggested to him he had not "simply received leaked" information but "groomed" a civil servant who had allegedly passed him 20 confidential documents. While the Ashford MP denies any wrong doing, and has not been charged, colleagues object to the loaded use of the word "grooming".
"Damian [Green] was very angry at this clear attempt to provoke him and did not reply," a senior party figure told the Times.

"It's certainly a loaded term," says Cormac McKeown, senior editor of the Collins English Dictionary, who sees its use in connection with Mr Green as a new mutation in the evolution of the word.
"I can't find any usages yet that chime exactly with Mr Green's case, but one use that's quite similar relates to people being groomed for terrorism."
One such example in the Collins corpus - a database of real-life usages - has Eliza Manningham-Buller, then the head of MI5, saying in November 2006 that young British Muslims were being groomed to become suicide bombers.
"I can see how the word could be applied to someone who befriends another for a particular end. But the main usage in our corpus refers to preparing a successor," says Mr McKeown.
This meaning dates from the late 19th Century, he says.

But in 2003, Collins added a new entry to its definitions of grooming: "To win the confidence of (a victim) in order to a commit sexual assault on him or her."
While its first use in this context was in 1985, it became mainstream in the late 1990s. "It was with the advent of the internet that this usage took off," says Mr McKeown. This was when paedophiles using chatrooms to target potential victims first came to public notice.
And in the past few months, EastEnders has run the first soap storyline of a predatory paedophile, as Bianca's latest boyfriend Tony grooms her teenage daughter Whitney for sex.

Animals found to sell sex Selling sex is said to be humankind's oldest profession but it may have deep evolutionary roots, according to a study into our primate cousins which found that male macaques pay for intercourse by using grooming as a currency.
Michael Gumert of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore made the discovery in a 20-month investigation into 50 long-tailed macaques in Kalimantan Tengah, Indonesia, New Scientist reports tomorrow. On average, females had sex 1.5 times per hour. But this rate jumped to 3.5 times per hour immediately after the female had been groomed by a male. Market forces also acted on the value of the transaction. If there were several females in the area, the cost of buying sex would drop dramatically.
