Wow......lot of unexpected problems at once. One always thinks that "I wouldnt have done that" but when YOUR there you always think you have it under control. The captain no doubt thought it would start slowing at any second.......unfortunately that "second" never happened. Prayers to everyone involved.
Thats why I am always ready to go around at the first remote sign of trouble. I had a corporate pilot tell me once to always plan on "going around" and the actual landing is the unexpected. After hearing his thought I have done 2 go-arounds. I wish my flight instructor had surprised me with a few unexpected go-arounds......it makes you plan ahead a little better.
Seems like he was way too far in before he decided he had a problem, and if I read the report right he didn't have much over 3 grand to work with anyway. Compression or not, with those conditions, if he didn't have buckets and spoilers to work with, he didn't have a chance anyway. I would say ask the pilots of AA1420 but you can't.
My apologies, it was 3060 meters, not feet, but still yet, he was way in
I also agree and nicely put. Descending through 12 feet it took 10 seconds to touch down(count out 10 seconds, its longer than you think) and then a wind gust. I think that would have been my GA limit.
Shoot . . . I broke my own arm-chair pilot rule :)
There is a reason Western built aircraft have a better safety record than those from some other regions of the world. How on earth can you have a thrust reverser system that allows thrust to increase without the actual reverser deploying?
I think the TU204 W.O.W. system logic needs to be revisited. Left main and n/w struts compress, right main doesnt... gets you no spoilers, 1/2 braking, and no TR's. Looks like the Russians issued an AD about the TR issue. Also, they issued a directive to not select max reverse until the TRs are verified open. Don't know why they werent doing that in the first place, but it usually takes an accident to change procedure.
Ouch. Talk about multiple issues all at once.
"Please no arm chair pilots"? What does that mean exactly with respect to these forums which are open to any member of FlightAware?
So why does this accident sound like the Airbus that overran the runway at Sao Paulo???
Other than the fact this plane departed the end of a runway, this sounds nothing like the Airbus overrun.
I believe that airbus was attempting to land on a very very wet runway that had well known flooding problems. To add to those problems, only one reverser was working on that aircraft.

BUFFALO, NY - Parents, teachers, and students from the Buffalo School District came together today for a student health rally outside of City Hall in downtown Buffalo.
According to the Community Health Worker Network of Buffalo, sex education is major problem in Buffalo schools and student sexual health indicators are the poorest in New York State. Over 200 students became pregnant last year alone.
In terms of physical education, Buffalo has high rates of childhood obesity and 45 percent of Buffalo Public School 7th graders are overweight.
Advocates say this is because the Buffalo School District is out of compliance with New York State Education Department (NYSED) regulations on physical and health education.
Jessica Bauer Walker, the Executive Director of the Community Health Worker Network of Buffalo and the Vice President of the District Parent Coordinating Council, has children in Buffalo schools and organized the event to raise awareness about the health issues in the district.
"They are not providing appropriate physical education. They're short by about 30 physical education teachers, so the state requirements for physical education are not being met. Children are not getting an opportunity for physical education and other physical activity like recess. They're also out of compliance with health education," Bauer Walker said.
The Community Health Worker Network and the District Parent Coordinating Council are calling this a public health crisis, and filed a request with NYSED for oversight of physical and health education requirements in Buffalo Public Schools.
"If our children aren't healthy, there is no way that they can learn. So it's really important for our kids to be healthy and safe. We as parents are standing up for our kids," said Bauer Walker.
The two groups, along with parents and students in the district, are working to make Buffalo Public Schools a healthier environment for children.
The rally also protested cuts to the district's instrumental music programs.

PROVIDENCE – Immediately after the final point had been recorded, the on-court Tolman High players mobbed each other nearest their fan base, jumping up and down in a massive group hug.
Their classmates naturally joined in the celebratory scrum, and each Tiger – including those cheering wildly from the bench – then broke off individually for more personal congratulations with parents, girlfriends and the like.
That's what happens when you earn your second state championship in three years, and the emotion of it was obvious with the ear-to-ear smile beamed by senior co-captain Marquise Swinson.
"This one's definitely better; now I'm a senior, a co-captain and a leader of this team," he laughed after second-seeded Tolman had posted a thrilling 3-1 triumph over top-ranked Central in the R.I. Division II Tournament title match at the Providence Career & Technical Academy field house on Thursday night.
"I've been a lot closer to my teammates than I was when I was a sophomore," he added, referring to the Tigers' identical 3-1 victory over Barrington in the 2011 championship contest. "I feel like I had more of an impact this time around. Honestly, this is great!"
Swinson couldn't have been more right, as he manufactured a team-high 18 kills in the easier-than-anticipated 24-26, 25-18, 25-13, 25-19 verdict. With it, Tolman sealed its fourth state championship since 2000 and a splendid 20-2 overall record.
Still, he had plenty of help from his teammates, most of them juniors. Outside hitter Eric Silveira mustered nine digs and eight kills, libero and co-captain Jason Aguilera a club-leading 32 digs, setter Kelvin Reyes 38 assists and Denzel DePina three blocks and three spikes.
Prior to the match, the Knights had to be considered the favorites; first because of the high-flying abilities of junior outside hitter Jonathan Rodriguez, who has one of the most powerful arms in the state, regardless of division; and second because Central had lost only once all season before Thursday.
That defeat ironically came to the Tigers, who needed an astonishing flurry in the fifth and final game (they had trailed 13-8).
With that second loss, Central finished its campaign at 19-2, despite Rodriguez' match-high 29 kills, not to mention eight digs, five aces, two blocks and two assists. Senior hitter Naroth ("Lefty") Chao chipped in nine digs, five kills, three assists and two blocks, while classmate Alex Sivilai managed 10 digs, eight kills, a block and an assist.
Its senior setter, Sangress Xiong, also came up with 30 assists and four digs.
"This is our fourth title in four years, and I have to say I'm really proud of the kids," noted head coach Neil Nachbar afterward, his players still celebrating with fans 10 minutes after accepting the championship plaque and individual gold medals. "They kept plugging and working hard. We've had an amazing run.
"We only have two seniors, so the core of the team is coming back," he continued. "We beat a very experienced and talented team in West Warwick in the semifinal, and we had to play well against Central, which has had a tremendous season."
The Tigers started slowly, almost cautiously, in the initial game, and had several chances to knot the score or go ahead but failed on most attempts. They actually cut the Knights' lead to one on seven separate occasions, but didn't pull even until Swinson drilled home a kill to make it 24-all.
Central immediately regained the advantage on a Tolman unforced error, then captured it when junior right-side hitter Tyler Harry whacked a spike try into the netting.
Before Game No. 2, Nachbar asked his kids to make some adjustments; truth be told, they couldn't have been more successful.
"In that first game, we had a ton of hitting unforced errors; we were hitting so many into the net or wide, I told them we needed to start passing and hitting better," Nachbar indicated. "I also said, 'Hey, we can still do this, but we have to focus more.' I felt confident we could turn it around."
Swinson opened the set with a wicked kill, and Reyes served up two straight points to give Tolman a 3-0 lead. Rodriguez' spike made it 3-1, though Aguilera recorded three of four points as it built a 7-1 cushion.
The Knights eventually sliced the deficit to 10-7, but the server Silveira racked up six straight points to help Tolman grab a 17-7 advantage. One of the keys to that surge came from the Tigers' ability to successfully control Rodriguez' punishing hits with digs.
The more Rodriguez was unable to put down a shot, the more his teammates seemed baffled, almost like, "Now wait a minute. They're not supposed to be able to stop our best player.
"That first game, we weren't playing the right angles on (Rodriguez) defensively," Nachbar explained. "He was hitting at really sharp angle and our defense was playing to deep, so we made that adjustment at the start of the second game. We wanted our libero (Aguilera) to play those angles, move up and just sit on those hits.
"We started winning points off those digs, and that really puzzled them," he added. "They rely so heavily on him and Lefty Chao, when we started getting stops on them, and it became frustrating for them.
"Lefty is a great all-around player, but he doesn't hit the ball with the same power and speed that Rodriguez does. When Rodriguez does that, it lifts them up emotionally. We needed to those digs to gain momentum."
Despite that 17-7 lead, Central knifed it to 22-18, due in part to a pair of Rodriguez aces and three kills, though Reyes' block got the Tigers back on track, and sophomore defensive specialist Alben Chingo utilized a Silveira kill and a Knights' unforced miscue to snag the second, 25-18.
As for the third, Rodriguez' spike off a block – and this is incredible – tied the match for the very first time at 1-1, but it would be the last.
Aguilera manufactured five straight points on his service as Tolman took a 9-2 lead, then took advantage of several unforced errors on Swinson's serve; he posted seven consecutive points as the Pawtucketers grabbed a whopping 17-3 cushion.
In the end, a roundhouse Swinson kill gave Tolman the 25-13 win.
The final game saw the two combatants trading points, and Central kept it close at 6-6, good for the fifth tie of the segment. Slowly, however, the Tigers pulled away.
Silveira pounded a spike, the Knights made an unforced error and Reyes and Swinson rattled off back-to-back kills to move to 10-6. A few minutes later, another Silveira kill lifted Tolman to a 19-12 advantage.
Again, the Knights fought back, eventually knifing the deficit to 22-18 on – what else? – a furious Rodriguez kill, but senior middle blocker Hipolito Carvalho managed a block, and the tandem of DePina and Harry did the same to make it 24-18.
Rodriguez' spike off a carom gave Central the service, but senior Susallin Chean knocked it into the net, igniting the Tigers' frenzy.
"To a point, I thought our guys lost their focus," mentioned Central head coach Donn Chu. "We played well defensively and were very scrappy, but they were very selective as to where they'd serve the ball. They wanted it away from Jonathan, and it kind of worked. Once their guys started digging his hits, it bothered our guys.
"We started playing their game instead of ours, and we just couldn't recover."
Stated Nachbar: "A big part of our strategy was to make it as hard as possible for Jonathan and Lefty to get a set; we wanted to keep the ball away from them. If they were on the right, I'd tell our server to go short left, and – if they were on the left, I'd tell him to go short right.
"We scored so many points that way," he continued. "Their setter (Xiong) had to decide whether to make the easy set to one of their lesser hitters, or make the harder set to Jonathan or Lefty. We liked our chances either way, and it worked out for the best."

Katie Schur:Alumni (Class of 2010)
Sport(s): Women's Soccer & Track and Field
Canal Winchester, Ohio – Bloom-Carroll High School (Carroll)
Major: Anthropology
Minor: Chemistry
How did you find out about Beloit? Did you know a lot about Beloit when you first visited campus?
"I found Beloit rather randomly. My sister's freshman year roommate in college was from Rockton and one day my sister and her roommate were talking about me and how I was interested in anthropology. Her roommate exclaimed that 'if she's interested in anthropology, she should really check out Beloit…it has a great program.' So my sister took a trip up to Beloit, gathered a bunch of informational packets, and sent them home to me. The program looked good and the international programs/diversity at the school appealed to me. I decided to visit and the people, professors, and campus vibe solidified my decision that Beloit was the school I wanted to attend."
We are focusing a lot on Liberal Arts in Practice at Beloit; so as part of what you practice(d) name one aspect that you took away(will take) from being a Beloit student-athlete that you use in your everyday life.
"Beloit College has given me the ability and confidence to take on challenges. Both academics and athletics challenged me to push myself beyond my comfort point and in so doing, growing and accomplishing feats I never thought I would."
What (if any) accolades did you receive (Academically/Athletically) while being a student-athlete?
Co-authored 2 published papers

If you could name one class or professor (mentor) that really meant something to you while at Beloit, who or what would that be?
"I don't think I could choose any one professor who had an impact on my life. Every one of the professors I had during my time at Beloit cared deeply for my education and me personally. The three that stand out most in my mind though are Laura Parmentier, Kathryn Johnson, and Shannon Fie. Laura single-handedly solidified my love of chemistry. Katie allowed me the opportunity to push myself intellectually while showing unfailing support. Shannon was one of the toughest professors I had at Beloit and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to learn from her because her class taught me how to learn. The beauty of Beloit professors is that their interest in their students doesn't end after lecture. They get to know you outside of the classroom and support you in your interests. So many of my professors are constantly seen at athletic events, cheering on their students and Beloit. That support and interest is what really makes Beloit what it is."
Name one of the most rewarding experiences you took part in while at Beloit College?
"Special Olympics is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever taken part in. The athletes train all year long for this event. They are thrilled to show off their skills and interact with the students. It was rewarding for me to meet these wonderful individuals and have the opportunity to see them compete year after year."
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? - Name a career goal/aspiration you strive for.
"Since I am in my first year of medical school, in five years I will be starting my residency program. Currently I am interested in radiology or orthopedic surgery, but I refuse to narrow my scope until I have had my rotations in each subspecialty."
"In ONE word I would sum up Beloit College as – Opportunity."

Several years ago, Todd S. Coombes proposed a project at a company where he was then CIO. "It was a legacy modernization of some of our older systems and data conversion to the newer platform," he recalls. "It was very important to IT."
But his proposal had to compete against hundreds of other uses of the company's capital, measured against time to payback. "A lot of companies like to do projects if you can get an 18- or 24-month payback," says Coombes, who recently became executive vice president and CIO at ITT Educational Services, a post-secondary educational company based in Carmel, Ind., with 140 campuses around the country. "A lot of these legacy data conversions will have about a seven-year payback, and that's not so great."
The first year that Coombes proposed the project, it was rejected in favor of others with better ROI. The next year, he proposed it again, and again it was rejected. But the third year, he got the go-ahead. What had changed? "In that second year, we had some major, business-impacting outages that were a result of not having done this project," Coombes says. "I explained that it was just the tip of the iceberg of what could happen if we continued not to address things that needed to be addressed just because they didn't match the hurdle rates we were trying to achieve. I think it was eye-opening for a lot of our business counterparts."
If you don't have and can't acquire that level of financial expertise, make sure someone in your department has it, says Peter Campbell, senior vice president of IT at Sprint-Nextel. "I have MBAs who work in my organization," he says. "I'm not a DBA; I don't know how to fix issues in Oracle, but I have DBAs who can do that. In the same way, I have financial people who can analyze ROI."
Coombes says the best solution is to establish a project management office charged with not only managing projects, but also doing cost-benefit analyses and other ROI calculations. "The PMO has at least initially worked in partnership with finance to create templates for calculating ROI," he says.
Make Friends With Folks in Finance
For a "refresh" project such as the legacy migration that Coombes undertook, similar formulas can estimate the cost of not doing the project, both in terms of future maintenance needs and the increased risk of disruption. At Sprint-Nextel, IT asks business units to help create a business risk assessment to measure the potential effect of a failure in a given system. "It's used as a concept for a lot of things, including design requirements," Campbell says. "A high-business-impact system is designed with a lot of redundancies; a low-impact system may not have as many."
Weis, on the other hand, is skeptical of any method of attaching a dollar amount to the risk of a system failure. "If we say it's a million-dollar problem to have an outage in this system, what are the odds of an outage? It might be 0.03%, but you never actually get that percentage. You either get zero or a huge number." So, instead of trying to calculate risk, Weis includes information about such things as the business risk of an outage in his narrative discussion of a project's potential benefits.
"You have to be genuine about it," he adds. At Matson, he says, any threat of business disruption from a failure of an essential system is "as far as the conversation needs to go." But, he cautions, it's important not to raise the specter of a dramatic outage unless it's a genuine possibility. "You have to be fair and reasonable when you make that claim," he says. "And you can't play that card too often."

(USA TODAY) -- President Obama said Tuesday the FBI is investigating the
Boston Marathon bombings as an "act of terrorism," but the perpetrators
and motives remain a mystery.
"What we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack or why," Obama said during brief remarks at the White House. "Whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual."
The president said, "clearly, we're at the beginning of our investigation," but he said investigators will learn what happened and why: "We will find whoever harmed our citizens, and we will bring them to justice."
who had held off using the term "terrorism" in brief remarks on Monday
night, spoke again after being briefed by FBI Director Robert Mueller
and other officials on Tuesday morning about what he called a "heinous and cowardly" crime.
"Given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism," Obama said. "Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror."
In addition to Mueller, the president was briefed by Attorney General Eric Holder, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and White House counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco.
FULL TEXT: President Obama's remarks
The bombing killed at least three people and injured more than 170 others.
our first thoughts this morning are with the victims, their families,
and the city of Boston," Obama said, pointing out that the death toll includes an 8-year-old boy.
Regardless of who carried out the attack, Obama said, "the American people refuse to be terrorized."
The president spoke of the "heroism
and kindness and generosity and love" of those who rushed to help in
the aftermath of the twin bombings near the finish line of Boston
Marathon. He cited "exhausted runners who kept running to
the nearest hospital to give blood and those who stayed to tend to the
wounded, some tearing off their own clothes to make tourniquets."
He added: "So if you want to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil, that's it. Selflessly. Compassionately. Unafraid."
vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice, Obama said authorities
don't know whether it was carried out by a group or an individual or
individuals, or what the motive might have been.
"So everything else at this point is speculation," he said.
Shortly before his remarks, Obama
ordered flags at the White House and other government buildings be
flown at half-staff in honor of the victims of Monday's attack.
The flag lowering is "a
mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence
perpetrated on April 15, 2013," Obama said in a proclamation.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Sears Holdings Corp. on Thursday reported a narrower fourth-quarter loss as it lifted comparable sales at its namesake department-store chain for the first time in almost three years while sales continued to drop at Kmart.

Rival Kohl's Corp., meanwhile, reported a smaller-than-expected profit decline but gave a disappointing outlook.
Their reports followed dismal results released by J.C. Penney Co., which on late Wednesday reported that its fourth-quarter loss widened to $2.51 a share from 41 cents a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were looking for a loss of 23 cents. Its comparable sales slumped a bigger-than-expected 32%. See related story Penney's Ron Johnson is on a short leash.
Penney JCP, +1.77% shares slumped 15%. Kohl's KSS, +1.33% dipped 0.1%. Sears dropped 6%, reversing an earlier gain.
Sears's fourth-quarter "results were better than last year, but not by much," said ISI Group analyst Greg Melich. It's "financially in a modestly better spot, but the imperative for (Sears) remains to stabilize the traffic and to be more cash generative from operations - 2012 results failed to show a material improvement on that path. With full year results rather uninspiring, 2013 looks like another 'make or break' year for this struggling retailer."
Sears's cash and short-term investments declined to $618 million last year from $754 million a year earlier, its third straight year of decline from $1.7 billion in fiscal 2010 and from a peak of $4.4 billion in fiscal 2006, FactSet data showed. In comparison, its short-term debt and current portion of the long-term debt jumped to $1.18 billion last year from $1.41 billion in the prior year.
Turnaround efforts
All three retailers have sought to engineer turnarounds of different sorts as changing consumer shopping behavior left them squeezed in the middle between discount and upscale chains and retailers such as T.J. Maxx parent TJX Cos. TJX, +0.76% and Ross Stores Inc. also took share, analysts said.
Macy's Inc. M, -0.91% , benefiting from such initiatives as tailoring its merchandise to local market demand, has outperformed in the group. See related story on Macy's.
Sears SHLD, -2.10% Chairman Eddie Lampert, who took over as chief executive earlier this month after Lou D'Ambrosio stepped down, has been focusing on its Shop Your Way rewards program, giving employees tablets and mobile devices, introducing mobile checkout and investing in technology to boost online and integrate with in-store sales. The company said its Shop Your Way members drove more than half of its sales at Sears and Kmart during the quarter.
Lampert, whose ESL Investments is Sears's majority holder, refuted criticism that the company's issues stem from skimping on store investments.
"The retail industry is complex and changing rapidly," said Lampert in a letter to shareholders. "As anybody can now see from the events surrounding JCPenney, Best Buy, Toys `R' Us, Staples, Barnes & Noble and others, the retail landscape is fundamentally shifting. In our case, observers have mistakenly concluded that our issues were primarily related to underinvesting in our stores."
For the quarter ended Feb. 2, Sears's loss narrowed to $489 million, or $4.61 a share, from $2.4 billion, or $22.63 a share, a year earlier. Sales fell to $12.26 billion from $12.48 billion. Online sales rose 25%.
Excluding items, the company's adjusted profit more than doubled to $1.12 a share from 54 cents Analysts surveyed by FactSet were looking for profit of 98 cents a share on sales of $11.77 billion.
Gross margin widened 1.3 percentage points.

#Mets add RHPs Zack Wheeler, Hansel Robles, Gonzalez Germen and Greg Burke, LHP Darin Gorski and INF Wilfredo Tovar to the 40-man roster.—
New York Mets (@Mets) November 21, 2012
Yesterday was the deadline for teams to submit their reserve lists for the Major League Baseball Rule 5 draft. Players who are on the Mets' 40-man roster are not eligible to be drafted. Any player who is not on the 40-man, who was signed at 19, who has been in the system for four drafts or a player who was 18 or younger who has been in the system for five drafts, is eligible to be selected.
So, adding players to the 40-man roster removes them from the player pool in the Rule 5. In the MLB phase of the draft, the selecting team must keep a player on their major league roster all year long (active for at least 90 days). In the minor league phase of the draft, there are no roster restrictions.
The Mets added four RHP: Zack Wheeler, Hansel Robles, Gonzaelez Germen and Greg Burke, one LHP: Darin Gorski and infielder Wilfredo Tovar.
Zack Wheeler
Put simply, Wheeler is the best prospect in the Mets minor league system. Wheeler, who turned 22 in May, has a big-time fastball that lives in the mid-upper 90s. His curveball and slider both could be plus pitches, while his changeup lags as his fourth offering. When his breaking balls are on, and in the strike zone, he can be untouchable. He finished ninth in the AA Eastern League in ERA (3.26), fourth in WHIP (1.16), fourth in opponents' batting average (.225), second among starters in strikeout rate (9.08/9 innings pitched). Promoted to Buffalo in early August, he made six starts in AAA where he put together a solid 3.27 ERA, and fanned 31 batters in 33 innings, but walked 16. Just like their AA counterparts, AAA hitters had trouble squaring up Wheeler's top shelf stuff (23 hits/.205 opponents' batting average). However, his walks stand out strongly. When he throws more strikes, he will be ready for the big leagues, likely before July 1, 2013, but after May 20 or so, saving him from potential super-two status.
Hansel Robles
Robles is a surprising addition to the 40-man roster. He put up fantastic numbers (1.11 ERA, 8.17 K/9, 1.2 BB/9, 6.6 K/BB) for Short-season Brooklyn, while turning 22 in August, making him three months younger than Zack Wheeler while pitching three/four levels below him on the organizational ladder. I missed Robles in Coney Island this summer, but in September, Jeff Paternostro wrote the definitive piece on the short (5'11") right-hander at Amazin Avenue here. I'll sum up: working out of a low arm-slot, Robles can touch 94-95, although other starts, he will sit 91-92 and touch 93. His slider has more horizontal movement than vertical break (a common feature from low-slot pitchers) and his changeup has good arm speed and deception. Considering the fact that he's likely to start in Savannah, burning a 40-man spot on Robles is surprising, but the Mets clearly felt that some team might take a chance on him based on his fastball and ability to throw strikes.
Gonzalez Germen
Germen, who turned 25 in September, began in advanced-A in 2012, moved to AA, where he made 19 starts, and then make a spot start in Buffalo. He's a well-developed, toned 6'1″, 175 pounds, who generally sits 90-91 with his fastball, although he can run it up a little harder touching 93. He too works out of a low arm slot. His second-best pitch is his change-up, and at least when he was in Savannah a year ago, his slider was rudimentary. It's a funny profile for a right-hander but based on his numbers in AA – 127 H, 97 K, and 33 BB in 119.2 IP (7.3 K/9, 2.5 BB/9) I do not see a Major League starter. He's just too hittable with nothing to keep Major League hitters off-balance. He could end up in the bullpen as early as the middle of 2013, however.
Greg Burke
The Mets signed Burke as a minor league free agent this winter. The Padres rescued the Duke product out of Indy ball in 2006. Most recently, he put up very nice nubmers for AA Bowie and AAA Norfolk in 2012 with a combined 50/15 K/BB ratio in 64.2 innings. He had Tommy John Surgery way back in college in 2002, and struggled to regain with his velocity during his subsequent collegiate campaign. Burke appeared in 48 games for the Padres in 2009, putting up a 92 ERA+ with 23 walks, 33 strikeouts and 48 hits allowed in 45.2 innings. At that time, he was a fastball/slider pitcher throwing his heater, which averaged 91 mph 66% of the time and his 83 mph slider 27%. He'll get his shot in the Mets' bullpen in 2013.
Darin Gorski
The Mets drafted the tall, lean (6'4″, 210) left-hander in the seventh round in 2009. He looked like nothing special in Savannah in 2010, splitting time between the rotation and the bullpen, allowing 125 hits and 12 homers and a 4.58 ERA in 114 innings in the South Atlantic League. His velocity was upper 80s mostly, and while he had good feel and arm-speed on his changeup, he could not keep batters honest with the fastball, and was hurt on anything over the plate. He made a few mechanical tweaks, improved his slider, and added a few ticks on his heater to 89-91 in 2011 in St. Lucie, and voila, had success (2.08 ERA, 140 K/29 BB – 3.8 K/BB) earning the Mets minor league pitcher of the year. Promoted to AA Binghamton, Gorski, who just turned 25 this October, had a solid, but unspectacular year: 4.00 ERA, 118 K/50 BB – 2.4 K/BB and 20 homers allowed in 139.2 innings. His HR/9 doubled from 0.7 in advanced-A to 1.3 in AA, while his walk rate moved up from 1.9 to 3.2 and his K/rate slipped from 9.1 to 7.6. That kind of performance erosion is totally expected. Perhaps there's a back-end starter in there, potentially as soon as mid-late 2013 after some triple-A seasoning.
Wilfredo Tovar
Wilfredo Tovar turned 21 in August, the same week as Wilmer Flores, his infield-mate in AA. Tovar is easily the top defensive shortstop in the organization. It's not close. His glove should get him to the big leagues. The question is whether he's going to hit enough to hold down an everyday role or whether his light bat will keep him as a utility infielder. In 57 games in AA, he hit .254/.308/.332 with 11 walks against 22 strikeouts. He makes contact and doesn't strike out, but because he has well below average power, and pitchers do not fear challenging him, he must be extraordinarily selective to draw his walks. Anyway, he'll play in the big leagues.

The Obama administration has defied a decision by the government of New Hampshire to defund abortion provider Planned Parenthood, announcing that it had "awarded family planning contracts to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England despite the state Executive Council's vote against the group," reported the Nashua Telegraph. The state newspaper claimed the administration was forced "to act quickly because the Executive Council had left 16,000 families without services that range from birth control to exams for breast or cervical cancer."
In refunding the abortion giant the Obama administration declared that there was "an urgent need to reinstate services with an experienced provider that is familiar with the provision of Title X family planning services and applicable laws, regulations, and administrative requirements, and has a history of successfully providing services in these areas of the state."
As reported by Baptist Press News, the state's Republican-controlled Executive Council "voted 3-2 in June to prevent Planned Parenthood of Northern New England's six New Hampshire clinics from receiving $1.8 million in federal and state family planning funds.

I am new to the Canon brand and was considering a 5D3 or a 7D2. I need a camera that captures images and short video clips of very fast sports at close and far ranges. So for me, speed, image quality, and movie quality are the most important.
Edit: I should add that the sports are indoor but very fast, and I usually cannot use flash, so I have to work with what's available.
If there is another camera that you recommend beyond these two, please let me know. I have only used a Nikon D4S in the past which did well but I can no longer use that. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a low-level question.

{two lovely things : ribbons & braids}
Monday 5th November, 2012
by Roséline
. . . has been years since have worn a braid, normally it's a topknot, chignon, or ponytail on the way out the door, and yet, when tied with ribbon or against leopard print, there is something sweet and elegant, at once . . .
* unmistakably french
* gold embellishments & a chignon
* mint accents & gallery walls
* gold, mercer island
* chandeliers & gallery walls
* black & white
* pretty papered powder rooms
* floral bedlinens & perfectly pink peonies
* seaside inspiration
* french tourmaline & gray diamonds
* sexy scallops
* billowy pinks & dusky blues
* pink & carerra
* lace & leopard print
* ruggedly refined
* green & white
Oh, lovely bows!
Braids and ribbons.
Oh the innocent childhood that those two words conjure up. Just think of the pretty pink ribbons and the messy braids, hair everywhere from running around, and pink flushed cheeks accompanied by cheery smiles. The thought of wearing little ribbons in my hair again is so lovely…
I definitely want to take a step back in time, even if only for a minute or two. Braids with ribbons it is for me then! I love polished the pairing can look. Now off to hunt for some ribbons!
Love the classic hairstyle!
So true, I wear my hair in different style braids quite often, not to get too bored with long hair but always with elastic bands. Should try ribbons instead, they look much more polished. Lovely pics!
love the hairstyle!

I purchased this because my vehicle doesn't have Lumbar support on the passenger side. So when my Husband drives I need it. It does the job BUT the strap is too small & doesn't fit over the seat back. So I have to adjust it each time I get in & out of the vehicle. They really need to make it adjustable.

Excellent support and well made. Only problem area is that the strap to attach it around the seat is too short for both our Benz and Audi cars.
Reviewed By:
on 8/31/12
I just received the memory foam cusion lumbar support. As It works well, I was unable to slip the elastic band over my seat back. The band though adjustable is to small to fit over my seat back. It should have a clasp and a larger band to secure it to car seat backs. Having to adjust it every time I enter the car as it is not secured.

Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 9a(a) and 830 (R.S. § 983; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 5a, as added Jan. 20, 1944, ch. 3, § 1,58 Stat. 5).
For distribution of other provisions of section 9a of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., see table at end of reviser's notes.
Word "may" was substituted for "shall" before "tax as costs," in view of Rule 54(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, providing for allowance of costs to the prevailing party as of course "unless the court otherwise directs".

iHerb Customer Reviews
Bad batch

Ordinarily very good as far as vinegar goes, but this time got a bad batch in leaky (though still sealed) bottles. Had strange almost sulfur-like taste. Normally quite a good product and first time in years of use have ever had this problem. iHerb refunded purchase price.

I have used this product but could not use this one because cap was broken and I was afraid to use it. IHerb refunded my money, but I was still without product. This was the second time the cap was broken when I ordered this product. The first time I didn't say anything, so now I don't think I will order this product from IHerb again. I am otherwise very satisfied with IHerb.

I have not tried due to the warnings found on earth clinic folk remedies . . . and although I need to alkaline my body I will not risk the side effects!

On Yahoo! Japan's questions section, someone asked what people thought the next Pocket Monster installment would be titled. Then, that same individual added that he or she thought there was going to be a remake of Gold, predicting it would be called Pokémon Sun Gold/Moon Silver. After that, the new Pocket Monsters would be Pokémon: Amethyst/Topaz (though "Topaz" was misspelled in Japanese). This earnest individual seems to have really thought about this!
"Pocket Monster God of Wind/God of Thunder," quipped one answer. "I think it will be Pocket Monster Gold/Silver", replied another. Then, there was this:
In October 2008, Yahoo user Deadevil2002 apparently wrote, Pocket Monster X/Y, nailing the name of the newest Pocket Monster games five years later. This seems to be a wisecrack reply. Below that is another wry reply, Pocket Monster Right/Left. What, no one wanted to write Pokémon Up/Down?

diverse, focused, alignment-based
It keeps my body feeling free and light. Yoga is the best way I've found to be in the present moment. Practice continues to teach me how to surrender when I'm not perfect.
It's very satisfying and fulfilling to watch others find their way in the practice of yoga. The more I teach, the more I learn about my own practice and myself. It's really a perfect balance of giving and receiving.
