Master drummer/percussionist, composer, teacher, and defender of Afro-Latin musical traditions, Bobby Sanabria has recently debuted an important release with his volatile band Ascensión. Could this be the record of 1993? Bobby stopped by New York area jazz station WBGO to talk with Alfredo Cruz about where he's been, where he is, and where he's going. The following has been transcribed from that interview with the kind permission of Mr. Cruz and WBGO.
AC: You spent several years playing with Mongo Santamaria.
BS: That's correct. In the early eighties I spent nearly two years performing with Mongo. I got to record two albums with him. I learned a lot from this tremendous person and historical figure in Afro-Cuban percussion. It was a time when I was a "road warrior", learning about life on the road.
AC: Not many people may know the name of Bobby Sanabria, but in the community of musicians you are highly regarded and respected not only as a top notch percussionist and arranger, but also a historian, musicologist, defender and preserver of Afro-Cuban traditions.
BS: Well, not just Afro-Cuban, but Brazilian and everything that collectively has to do with our culture. I wouldn't call myself an ethno-musicologist. I'm just somebody who learned a lot about the music. I'm still learning. I'll continue to learn my entire life. I like to pass it on to others, just as some of the elders have passed it on to me. I have been very fortunate to have worked with some very talented people in this business, and they would lay things on me because they knew I was interested. In this country our identity has not been established. Everybody listens to our music and knows of it, yet we are still invisible in every aspect; politically, socially, and musically.
AC: You have worked for the past several years with the late great Mario Bauzá and his band.
BS: Well, I'm still there. There is a misconception that the Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra no longer exists. In fact we just played the San Franscisco Jazz Festival. Maestro Bauzá's orchestra continues under the leadership of trumpet virtuoso Victor Paz and Rudy Calzado, the lead vocalist and one of the arrangers. We'll be in Philadelphia in February for the Presidential Jazz Festival. Also, before Maestro Bauzá's untimely death the orchestra recorded one more album entitled 944 Columbus Ave, where he lived for so many years. And there is talk of us recording yet another album. The orchestra lives on.
AC: ...Thanks to you guys
BS: Yes, but there exists another misconception that if you're a keeper of a tradition, that you are stuck in a time period. I've always said that I have one foot in the present, one foot in the past, and my head toward the future. We pay honor to the past, as René Lopez would say. We honor those who suffered and paid their dues so that we can be out there playing the music. If it's played with a high level of integrity, it will reach more and more people.
AC: Aside from all of the other projects that you are involved with, you also lead a band, Asencion, that you have been fronting now for several years, as well. Finally after many years of work and struggle, we have a debut compact disc entitled New York City Aché on the Flying Fish label. You were describing it earlier as a sort of a concept work, a muscial time journey. Can you elaborate on that?
BS: Well, from a superficial standpoint people who go to clubs or listen to the radio hear the music and say "Oh, that's nice", but they don't realize how deep this tradition goes. What I wanted to do with this record is what I have been doing with Ascension ever since I formed the band. I wanted to bring out the fact that this music is very important culturally to us, and should be to everybody that listens to it. The album starts in Africa which is our rhythmical foundation and ends here, in New York City, with the things that we do today and how the jazz aspects are related. You can say it's a concept album, but that doesn't mean you can't just pick out one tune and enjoy it on its own terms as a good piece of music. Those of you who pick up this album will not only enjoy some good music, but you will also learn something about our traditions and roots.
The first cut, "Elegba," pays homage to our African roots. Elegba is one of the deities of the Yoruban pantheon. The Yorubans were the largest group of Africans that were brought to the Caribbean, especially Cuba. There are many chants that are used in praise of Elegba. He is praised first in any Yoruba ceremony because he's the guardian of the crossroads of life, the gatekeeper so to speak. Life is governed by Elegba because he is always putting forth challenges that we must confront and ultimately make either positive or negative decisions. This song has been done on other recordings produced in Cuba and even in the U.S. by other artists who wanted an authentic African element. A lot of people have done it with conga drums or batá drums without any vocals at all. But I took a different approach. I wanted to focus on the beauty of the chekeres, the beaded gourds that are used in Yoruban Bembé ceremonies in tribute to the different Orishas, or deities. When we play this style, which is called toque de guiro, we use three chekeres and a guataca, which is not really a cow bell but a farming tool a hoe blade which is played with a nail. When played correctly it is very sonorous like a cow bell. Although very famous for their work with metals, the Yorubans enslaved in Cuba had no way of making bells. The Spaniards would not allow them to use the ovens for fear that they would make weapons. The use of the hoe blade instead of the bell is known as guataca, to invent something. The use of the three chekeres are similar in sound to bass notes on a string bass. Often one conga drum, a soloist, is used as well. We intentionally didn't use a conga drum so that you can hear the sonority of the chekere's bass notes.
AC: How would you describe your approach to your music?
BS: Very simple. I combine all of the things I have learned through the years through my musical training as well as from the university of the streets, all of my background not just in Cuban music but all the forms of Latin American music and jazz, and combine them with whatever type of piece we are doing in an artistic way with integrity and respect to our ancestors. You might hear Ascension do a blues or a straight-ahead jazz number, or possibly an avant-garde piece. Perhaps a contra-danza. A percussion ensemble piece. Maybe something by Mozart. It all relates in one way or another to the Latino experience because all of those elements have made up the modern Latino person today.
AC: We hear elements of that on your recording. There's a tune by Thelonious Monk called "Blue Monk." Is there something in Monk's music that adapts well to Afro-Cuban rhythms?
BS: Yes, I mention that in the liner notes. I think he was a rumbero at heart. Remember, he came up in the '40's he's really the father of modern jazz, be-bop. He checked out Machito and Puente. There is a big similarity between his and Pérez Prado's piano playing. I don't believe they ever met but they were both very eccentric in the way they wrote tunes, their arrangements, and the way they played. Anyway, on our "Blue Monk" you hear Lewis Kahn on violin in the beginning, which brings into it an element of bluegrass. But it's done as a Són-Cha Cha Cha.
AC: That tune has a screaming tenor solo by Jay Rodriguez.
BS: Yeah, Jay's an up and coming young lion. I met Jay about five years when I was playing at the Village Gate with Luis Perico Ortiz. Paquito D'Rivera was the guest soloist that night and he brought Jay to sit in. Jay has studied with Paquito's illustrious father, Tito D'Rivera, a great saxophonist and clarinetist. Jay sounded great and we've been friends ever since. Now if he could only show up to rehearsals on time (laughs).
I see Blue Monk as an homage to my days at the Berklee College of Music, where I studied from 1975-1979 and got my degree. In my first year I think I was the only Puerto Rican there. Little by little more musicians from the island enrolled and when we got together we'd jam. This tune was one of the jazz standards we adapted to Afro-Cuban rhythms
AC: Who are some of the other musicians in the band?
BS: Lewis Kahn on trombone and violin. John DiMartino on piano, an Italiano from Philadelphia. Donald Nix on bass, who has played with everybody in this business. Mr. Eddie Bobé, a tremendous percussionist and great source of information. He plays conga and batá, bongó. Mr. Gene Jefferson on lead alto and tenor sax is from Panamá. Many remember him from the saxophone section from Tito Rodriguez' orchestra at the Palladium. Mr. Hiram Remón our great vocalist and percussionist from Colombia is a great source of knowledge as far as the musical folklore of South America is concered. Ascension is like a mini United Nations.
AC: That's another group that you have been associated with recently Dizzy Gillespie's U.N. Orchestra which is now being led by Paquito D'Rivera.
BS: Most people know me as a drummer or timbalero, however, in that orchestra I have been performing as the percussionist. I have been traveling with them and it's been an incredible experience working with Paquito, who is a master musican. A lot of people don't know the depth of knowledge he has, not only on saxophone and clarinet, but historically speaking, and his repertoire. He's a world class classical soloist. And everybody knows his alto playing. We just finished recording an album.. I'm very proud to be associated with that organization.
AC: One of my favorite tunes on your CD has you playing on vibes!
BS: Yes, that's a tune I dedicate to all the mambo-niks out there. It's a fantastic compostition by Francisco Paquito Pastor entitled "LLegué," which means I've arrived. On the introduction you'll hear Max Hyman, the owner of the Palladium.
AC: There's some really nice voice work on this tune. I especially like the harmonizing at the end of the song.
BS: Yeah, there are vocals throughout the album. In my experience with other bands, I've had to sing coro and play at the same time. I've been incorporating more and more vocalizations. We do a lot of chants, from Venezuelan Joropo chants to Colombian chants to chants from the African Santería vocabulary. The idea behind the harmonies in "LLegué" was to get the lush sound that was so prevalent in the mambo era. Especially with the vibes. Everybody knows Cal Tjader, the Joe Cuba Sextette, el maestro Tito Puente who also performs on my album we do a couple of duets together on timbales and drums. As far as Afro-Cuban dance music is concerned, the mambo era, from about 1948 through the early 1960's, was the epitome, the height of composition, arranging, and dance. Nobody will ever top that.
AC: What do you think gave it that quality?
BS: The main thing was that jazz was the popular music at that time. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie were getting coverage in Life magazine, Look magazine, and newspapers. Jazz was very prevalent. Jazz is a very sophisticated kind of music. Everything that came out of the big-band era of the 1930's be-bop period and the small group virtuoso ensembles in the late 1940's influenced the bands that were playing Afro-Cuban music. Maestro Mario Bauzá with the Machito orchestra fused all that together. The bands were large ensembles with saxophone sections, trumpet sections, trombones, etc. For the arrangers, it was like being a rat at a cheese factory! You could really write and do it up...all the arrangers were competing with each other, who is gonna write the hippest chart? What killed everything was when Castro got into Cuba in 1959 and all the record companies stopped recording Cuban music. Everything went underground. That music has to be studied. The industry generally treats our music as a throw away thing, like a box of corn flakes. This music, however, is a highly developed art form. It's over five hundred years old. That means it's older than jazz, it's older than rock and roll. It's just as old as European orchestral music. It has to be studied that way. The integrity of the music has to be kept up. I'm a champion of that like Wynton Marsalis is of the jazz world. But I'm not the only one. There are many other soldiers, just like yourself, in this battle.
AC: I want to touch upon you're educational activities. I know that your involved with the Drummer's Collective here in New York as well as some other venues.
BS: I was just added to the faculty of the Mannes College Conservatory in Manhattan. I teach two ensembles where we deal with Afro-Cuban music and its relationship to jazz. The students are required to learn about the history of the music. I don't go in and say "OK, let's do "Caravan" as a Guaguancó or a Rumba Columbia". They have to know what a Guanguancó is or what a Rumba Columbia is, the history of the Danzón, or the Són. So I deal with that. I use videos, I lecture, etc. and only then do I get into the nitty gritty of playing. Of course, the first thing I talk about is cláve, which is the cornerstone of Cuban music. I do the same thing at the Drummer's Collective except there I'm dealing with musicians who are drummers and percussionists. I teach privately there and I also teach part of a course called Afro-Carribean and Brazilian rhythms. It's a ten week course that covers Afro-Cuban rhythms, West Indian rhythms, Brazilian rhythms, and, we cover New Orleans because all of that is connected. A lot of people think that jazz and Latin music are two separate entities. But the fact is that they cannot exist without each other. If there was not Afro-Cuban or Latin American music there would be no such thing as jazz today. If you go down to New Orleans, you listen to some second line music you'll hear clave. [He sings a ditty while clapping out clave] What I'm clapping out is the same thing that you hear when you listen to Tito Puente, to Poncho Sanchez, to Celia Cruz. The root, clave. It's in New Orleans music! So jazz cannot exist without us. And, in turn, we cannot exist without jazz. We're all part of an old African tree. Only some branches are closer to the trunk than others. Our branch is very close to mother Africa in terms of rhythm.
AC: The tree metaphor is very interesting. This concept is glossed over in jazz journals or academic institutions. The Institute for Jazz Studies at Rutgers University, for example, does a fantastic job of documenting and investigating and researching jazz. But, unfortunately, they have not developed a branch to study Cuban music.
BS: They have to. Not just Afro-Cuban music, but Afro-Brazilian music, Afro-Puerto Rican music, Afro-Colombian music. The reason that clave and those kind of rhythms that sound similar to Cuban rhythms, to Puerto Rican Rhythms, to Brazilian rhythms, to Haitian rhythms, are found in New Orleans is because New Orleans is a Caribbean city and that the last three places that eradicated slavery as we know it were Puerto Rico in the 1870's, Cuba in 1879, or 1886 with respect to the Chinese slaves, and Brazil in 1888. Most of these freed slaves, when they went looking for work in the United States, went to New Orleans. Once you get to New Orleans you could get anywhere because the railroads just about completely connected the whole United States. From there you could get to Kansas City, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, etc. etc. All of that gumbo all mixed together in a creolized fashion, what we call criollo in Spanish, and created what was New Orleans music and developed into early jazz. That eventually got up north and developed into all the branches of jazz that we have today. This is something that is not discussed. Nobody gives us credit. I really get turned off when jazz musicians look at our music superficially. I've heard a bunch of young jazz guys put one thing on their album that has some sort of quasi-Latin rhythm. It's done on a very superficial level because they don't want to study the music. They think that if they include a conga player, that it will sound Latin. Meanwhile, the drummer doesn't know anything about cláve, he doesn't know how to play any Latin rhythms he plays some sort of quasi-calypso thing that he heard Steve Gadd do, which isn't authentic either. Yet we, as Latinos, take the study of jazz very, very seriously. In fact, there's a crop of young Latin turks who play jazz who know more about jazz than their own rhythmic roots. It goes both ways. I hate to sound like I'm preaching, but it's the truth.
AC: The first time I saw you was in 1979 or 1980 when I first came to New York to study music. I went to the Johnny Colón School of Music in East Harlem and there you were leading the ensemble. I said "who is this cat?" You seemed to have it all together. I was even more impressed when I found out that you were a percussionist. The popular misconception is that percussionists are not of the same musical level as other musicians. People tend not to associate musical mastery with a percussionist. And that you were not only an arranger, but a very gifted composer. There is something on your new release that you composed especially for the late great maestro, Mario Bauzá.
BS: Many people know me through my association with Mario. There was a private funeral service which was essentially for the orchestra and close friends and family. Then there was a public service at St. Peters Church and a lot of people were there. Ray Barretto, Tito Puente who said some very beautiful and also some very funny things about Mario. Paquito. A lot of people. But I was checking out the crowd, looking around, and I saw none of the cats from the so-called salsa scene. I mean nobody. Man what is this? This man was the greatest purveyor of our music, who brought our music into the twentieth century, and none of these cats were there! It was ridiculous. How can these cats complain that our music isn't getting any recognition when they themselves don't recognize the true warriors of our music and give back to them some of the respect they are due. The song Adios Mario is my way of paying homage to this great man. Paquito D'Rivera is an invited guest soloist who, on clarinet, does a beautiful job in capturing the essense of what Mario was about, this bridge between jazz and Latin music.

Despite a rare win and an even rarer shutout, the Raiders remained No. 30 in the Associated Press Pro32 NFL power rankings that were released Tuesday.
Oakland (4-10) recorded a 15-0 shutout against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, snapping a six-game losing streak in the process. The shutout was the first by the Raiders in 10 years.
Despite all that, Oakland failed to overly impress the rankings' 12 voters. The team most affected by the outcome was the Chiefs (2-12), who dropped two spots to 32nd, and last place, in the rankings.
Although they also lost Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12) were voted out of the cellar and moved up a spot to No. 31, 22 ranking points behind the Raiders. The Jaguars were dropped 24-3 by the Miami Dolphins.
Sunday, the Raiders will try to win back-to-back games for the second time this season when they play the 21st-ranked Carolina Panthers (5-9).
Comments on the Raiders by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 30) -- A shutout, no less!
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 29) -- When offense sputters, Sebastian Janikowski's leg is a nice fallback.
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 30) -- Shutout win at home ... but it was against KC ... Does that count?
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 29) -- Ah, the old five field goal offense, something Sebastian Janikowski has seen plenty of in his years with the Raiders.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 27) -- The Raiders make their fifth cross-country trek to play a team in the Eastern time zone this weekend when they visit Carolina. Oakland is 0-4 on those trips, having been outscored 147-63. Jet lag?
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 30) -- Sebastian Janikowski for team MVP.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 30) -- Let's not get too excited about beating up on the Chiefs.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 30) -- They are a different team when McFadden can stay on the field. Once they get out of salary cap jail and put more talent on this team they will be all right. For now, a shutout of division rival Chiefs will have to do.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 31) -- The Raiders leapfrogged the Chiefs after they shut them out.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 28) -- There are plenty of things broken with the Raiders. But as evidenced by Oakland's 15-0 win over Kansas City, Sebastian Janikowski's kicking leg isn't one of them.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 28) -- Bored with booing poor play, Raiders fans now have begun booing poor form in shooing pigeons.

Receptors, Neurons, and Circuits: The Biology of Mammalian Taste
The taste system is one of our fundamental senses, responsible for detecting and responding to sweet, bitter, umami, salty, and sour stimuli. We study the logic of taste coding as a platform to understand how our brain creates an internal representation of the outside world and transforms sensory signals at the periphery into percepts, actions and complex behaviors.

One of the rare examples of Italian painting in the collections of the Petit Palais, this is a small canvas of remarkable quality.
We do not know if it is a sketch for a major decorative painting that was never produced, or one of the many small, very freely executed yet generally very accomplished paintings made by Tiepolo at the height of his career, both for his own pleasure and to satisfy his many clients.
According to Plutarch, at the age of 13 Alexander the Great was challenged by his father Philip II, King of Macedonia, to ride a wild horse named Bucephalus.
Realising that he was afraid of his own shadow, Alexander turned him to face the sun and tamed him. Philip then told him: "My boy, you must find a kingdom big enough for your ambitions. Macedon is too small for you".

When the mermaids began calling and the disco lights flashing from Lake Tahoe's chilly depths, Brittany Percin's father knew it was time to pull his teenage daughter from the water.
"I kind of got cold 2 1/2 hours in, but I kept on swimming and kept on swimming, and then about 5 hours in, I just wasn't thinking straight," said Percin, 15, describing her attempt to swim the 12 miles across widest point of Lake Tahoe in the early hours of Sept. 3. "I kept swimming and my dad was watching me, and I was seeing things, lights at the bottom and stuff, and he said, 'OK, I think you need to come out.'"
Percin, a relatively experienced open-water swimmer for her age and a standout on the Truckee High swim team, protested, reluctant to abort her impromptu swim and leave her "open-water buddy," Cara Silvas. At the same time, however, she knew her time in the 59-degree water had come to an end.
"I wanted to move forward, but I was cold and I kind of went into a ball and couldn't get my arms to move anymore," she said.
Silvas, meanwhile, a 2011 Truckee High grad who now attends UC Davis, continued on to the finish line, completing the swim from Secret Harbor to Sunnyside in a time of 5 hours, 54 minutes. And that was after treading water and turning around to make sure her friend, no longer by her side, was OK.
"Cara is kind of my open-water buddy. She's done it before and she's really experienced," Percin said of Silvas, an expert distance swimmer with swims of 20 kilometers under her belt. "I knew she'd be able to make it, and that it would be much nicer to swim with someone."
Percin, whose longest swim prior was about 6 miles, covered roughly 10 of the 12 miles and was in the water for 4 hours, 50 minutes. She and Silvas left Secret Harbor under moonlight at 5:07 a.m., with an air temperature of 34 degrees. Neither wore a wetsuit as they swam side-by-side through the dawn.
"It was kind of funny, because we kept running into each other in first half-hour," said Percin, who said she plans to attempt the distance again, perhaps after more cold-water training. She said she is accustomed to swimming in Donner Lake, where the water temperature is close to 68 degrees — "and that's a huge difference."
Percin planned the swim about a week earlier on a whim.

SANTA CLARA -- On the night NaVorro Bowman delivered the signature play of the 49ers' season, a playoff-clinching 89-yard interception return at Candlestick Park, the linebacker had company.
Patrick Willis was racing down the sideline right along with him making sure that nobody from the Atlanta Falcons laid a hand on the teammate he calls "my brother."
And not long after it was over, when the most dynamic linebackers in the NFL had time to catch their breath, Willis turned to his brother and told him:
"One day, when we're old and gray, we're going to look back on that play and say, 'That's when we were fast.' "
In a way, that's how it's been all season: Bowman and Willis matching each other stride for stride. The rangy duo will need to be at their sideline-to-sideline best Sunday when the 49ers face the Carolina Panthers in an NFC divisional round game in Charlotte, N.C.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a dual threat -- the only player in NFL history to amass at least 50 touchdown passes and 25 rushing touchdowns in his first three seasons -- so much will depend on the 49ers' dual inside linebackers to keep the Carolina offense in check.
How good has the 49ers' tandem been? So good that Willis, the five-time All-Pro, has been relegated to second banana.
And that's fine with Banana No. 2.
"I told (Bowman) the other day, coming back after the Arizona game, 'Man, you're having the kind of year that linebackers want to have,' " Willis said. "I know he's most certainly having the kind of year that I would love to have."
In that Arizona game on Dec. 29, the one that made Willis jealous, Bowman became the first 49ers player in 20 years to record a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception in the same game.
In all, Bowman ranked fifth in the NFL in total tackles (with 143) and led a defense that didn't allow a 100-yard rusher all season.
"NaVorro has my vote for MVP of the league," defensive tackle Ray McDonald said. "He just comes up big all the time."
Bowman is quick to defer to the other guy, even after his crowd-rousing interception against the Falcons. The fourth-year player from Penn State said such plays are made possible only because he shares the field with a linebacker on a Hall of Fame path.
"I mean, shoot, anytime Pat is on the field I know that he's going to do his job and I'm going to do my job," Bowman said. "That's really what's been working out for us.
"He's always been our leader. Anytime anything goes wrong out there on the field, Pat is out there getting everybody on the same page, and that's the complete linebacker that he is."
Pro Football Focus, which reviews every player on every play, created a metric for grading linebackers that accounts for their ability to rush the passer, cover receivers, stop the run and avoid penalties.
Their No. 1-ranked linebacker in a 3-4 system (three down linemen, four linebackers) this season was Bowman.
Any guesses who finished second?
"He's my brother. I'm always going to be his biggest fan," Willis said of sharing the spotlight. "He's my teammate. I'm just glad to see him do well. When one of us does well, we all do well. That's how we think as a team."
Willis, like Bowman, said the key to their success is working in unison. He said that before a snap, he might check in with Bowman about whether it's time to go for broke and look for a big play -- such as jumping a route in search of an interception.
The funny thing, Willis said, is that they're always insisting that the other guy seize the day.
"Sometimes I tell him, 'Hey, just go get it. I'm going to cover you,' " Willis said. "And vice versa. Sometimes he'll tell me the same thing.
"It's never, like, 'Man, let me go do this because I can make the plays.' It's whatever formation they give us and what makes our defense better at that point in time is how we work. That's what makes a good tandem."
Against the Green Bay Packers last week, Bowman led the 49ers with 10 tackles while Willis had eight. The 49ers held quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a career playoff-low of 177 passing yards, and though running back Eddie Lacy hammered out 81 yards, his longest rush of the day was 8 yards.
Next up is the explosive -- and well-rested -- Newton, whose 2,032 rush yards over his first three years are most ever by a quarterback.
The 49ers know that containing him will hinge on the duo that pound for pound -- LB for LB -- is the best defensive tandem in the NFL.
"We hold each other accountable," Willis said. "When we look at each other, we know that we're ready to go."

Coutinho - the best AM in the EPL?
It's early days and I know I am jumping the gun, but is there a player with better vision than Coutinho? Mata perhaps - I'll accept that. I would love to see this boy behind the front 2, even though his is doing fantastically well on the left. Wait until he gets a pre-season behind him lads!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Loki, totally agree with you. In fact, its a treat to watch him play. his vision and weight of the pass is exceptional. He creates chance from almost nowhere and some of the chances he created are beyond our imagination too... This guy is out of the world. He is the best in terms of creating chances and that too in very short time of arriving. I am sure we will see lot more from him next season
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Apr 29, 2013 14:18 Flag
Let's not big the man up too much as he'll have a poor outing sooner or later and the boo boys will be writing him off. But I have to agree the signs are there for all to see.
I'm not so sure however about the behind the front 2 however. Only because from Saturday I have to also give a lot of credit to Henderson who was the player interchanging with Coutinho allowing him to pop up in the middle with so much space. Between them they pulled the Newcastle RB so he did not know if he was coming or going forcing Taylor to decide if he should try and follow the young Brazilian, taking all shape out of the back line, or let him roam. So for me he's one of those players it really does not matter where he lines up, so long as the brief is to move to find space, and the players next to him and behind him fill in when needed.
But I'd also add I don't think we've seen close to his best yet. First off the lad is only 20, so potentially has a lot more to learn as he matures as a player. But second I don't think the lad has completed a full 90 minutes since he's been with us, which suggests he's actually not fully fit. Maybe not surprising as he was not getting much playing time in Italy, plus there is a physical curve to get up moving to a faster more physical league. However after a full preseason of conditioning, I'm wondering if we might actually see another gear that he can move into.
He is looking pretty special so far, very excited to see how a full pre season will benefit him, he should fly next year. Don't know if he is better then those players but he can be our Mata/Silva/Carzola style playmaker. BR' signings seem to improve everytime, not too hard I guess having started with Borini!

Let's not get carried away guys... He's "too small, short and lightweight"... err oops..
He's got the ability, as you can see, to be world class, and while Oscar has gotten all the plaudits, granted he's been in England for longer, you can see why Coutinho will be equally as good, perhaps better and back into the Brazil squad.
He has completed a full 90" 3 times already, so when he comes off, it's a matter of treating him like Sterling, though he's far more advanced having well over 100 appearances with Inter, Espanyol, Brazil and now LFC. From a Serie A point of view were: A- Inter didn't play him enough at all, or employ a system that suits him, and B- he's a little bit too quick and skilled with the ball to play there.. That might not make sense, there's no room for all the dribbling skills with the slower pace and emphasis/skill of defending. But he's finding it for fun so far in England.. Time in Italy def helped him.
He can basically play anywhere along the front 3/4 & once he adds more goals to his locker, anyone who had any ridiculous comments about him prior to arriving, or after 1-2 avg. games will feel really silly... And, regarding strength, if anyone recalls his second assist, he shoulder barged Ben Arfa (similar size yes, stronger, experienced no) to the ground, won the ball and side footed his pass into Sturridge.. It was World all the way around.
Imagine if we'd gotten him in the summer?!? Hard to say this or that, but if he'd come on, stayed fit, you could only ponder the assists/goals he'd have or created by now.. Sigh..
He is certainly top notch when the opposition give him time and space to play. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the Derby against Evertons "style".

I believe that your suggestion of "style" by Everton probably was meant sarcastically, Ron , and that you rather expect them to try to try to bully him with physical play. Lets hope they do indeed try that tactic. The lad has been outstanding in his brief time here , he is destined for greatness........ as a provider he lays the ball off beautifully for brilliant strikes on the net. Good thread , Loki.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (January 25, 2013)--Reince Priebus, 40, was elected Friday to head the Republican National Committee for another two years.
Priebus ran unopposed in his bid for a second term, which begins less than three months after what most Republicans consider a disastrous election cycle.
In November the GOP lost a competitive presidential election and gave up seats in the House and Senate.
The Republican National Committee membership voted overwhelmingly Friday to re-elect Priebus at their annual winter meeting in Charlotte, N.C.
National committeeman Mark Willis of Maine tried to challenge Priebus but could not muster the backing of the three states needed to qualify for the ballot.

Out against Murray
Yet another scintillating, exciting and very brave game from the racquet of our Roger – unfortunately this time the result could not match his tennis. He has lost to Andy Murray 4-6, 7-6(5), 3-6, 7-6(2), 2-6 in an absorbing and enthralling game of tennis.
This time it did not look as though Murray would be the loser right from the start of the first set which he took comfortably 6-4. Having said that our champ made him fight hard for his victory by taking the 2nd and 4th sets with tiebreaks. After a really hard fought battle with Murray dominating most of the match it was only our Roger's brilliance that kept him alive – that and an indomitable spirit that refuses to give in when most other players would be swamped. By the 5th set though it seemed our champ had given his all and Murray took only 35 minutes from a 4 hour match to close out the final set 6-2. From the cheering during the match it seemed at times as though he was playing the match in Basel and not in Melbourne plus Roger was given a standing ovation when he left the court. Murray now faces Djokovic in the final on Sunday.
appreciate quality.

With the growth of high-bandwidth applications, such as storage and video, in the workplace, network performance is essential. Wireless technology is no longer lagging behind wired performance. The Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point answers the growing business need for access, speed, and security. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support makes the access point easy to install - you can mount it anywhere, even without ready access to a power plug. With appropriate PoE support at the other end, you need to run only one cable to the access point to deliver both data and power. Of course, you can also use the included AC adapter if power is available nearby.
Moreover, the integrated quality of service (QoS) features provide consistent voice and video quality on both the wired and wireless networks, enabling the deployment of business-quality voice over IP (VoIP) and video applications. To protect your data and privacy, the Cisco Wireless-N Access Point supports the industrial strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful encryption. The MAC address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network, and advanced logging keeps you apprised of access attempts. The rogue access point detection capability notifies the administrator when an unauthorized access point is detected in the airspace. The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature facilitates simple and secure deployment of security in the wireless network. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. The Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point is the best way to add wireless access to your existing business network.

Hey! I was thinking if starting a post as it would be good to have support from each other and give advice etc. I had Oliver 5 days late on 19th April after a 23 hour labour which was pretty traumatic and more painful than I ever thought possible!
I love the name Niamh and it would be great to keep in touch with all the April mummies! Maybe we could start a facebook page? X

Hey ladies gr8 idea altho this is only the second time ive managed to get on here since my baby was born. Alfie George was born on 20/04/10 at 2:06am weighing 7lb 15oz 20 inches long.
Alfie is not sleeping at the minute - day or night and its starting to get me down. Im b/f and im worrying im not satisfying him as i expressed 3oz last night and he guzzled it and he fell straight to sleep no problem. Im reall thinking about switching to formula but feel like a failure

You sound just like me! I can only come on here when I'm feeding! Oliver doesn't sleep during the day unless I take him in his pram and even then he wakes as soon as we get home. As for nigh time, we found that swaddling really helps although I know some people don't like it.
I am bf too and I'm also worrying he isn't getting enough I suppose it's normal to worry but I am going to wait to see how much he weighs tomorrow before adding in a bottle. Everyone says it will get better but it's pretty hard to see that when you're sleep deprived X

hey april mummies isnt it good to be on this forum now and not the pregnancy one!
my little girl polly rose was born on 11th april and weighed 7lb 7oz. i am bf her and she weighed 7lb 14 when she was 10 days. i am loving being a mummy again although not looking forward to my husband going back to work next week.
i have to say that this little one is so far the most contented of all the babies i have had- although until last night she was only settling at night to sleep on my stomach rather than in her crib. last night she did actually go ino her crib at 10.30 and slept til 2.45- i was awake before she was and kept checking her cos i couldnt believe she slept for so long.
anyway congratulations to everyone and sorry about the lack of capitals- it is the one handed typing while baby is in the other arm that is to blame!

hi ladies
my little girl amelia was born 12th april, 10.05am, weighing 7lb 11oz. she is doing really well and only wakes once during the night. Hopefully it lasts ad hopefully those whose babies arent sleeping that well soon settle into a routine (i know how it feels, my son never slept when he was a baby, he was always crying)

Hi april mummies.
My baby was born on 10th April, which was 2 weeks early. Oliver weighed 6lb 7oz so I had to send out for some tiny baby clothes quick. It was a really quick labour and only took 3 hours! I've had some issues with breast feeding and after Oliver going down to 5lb 12 I had to swap him onto formula to get his weight back up. We're much happier using bottles and Oliver cries a lot less now he's getting full. He's still feeding every 2 hours but I know how much he's getting which helps. He's now back to 6lb 6, so close to his birth weight after three weeks.
I'm really hoping he'll start sleeping longer through the night soon though as I'm really tired!!!

I'm so glad to still be part of the April mummies, I was worried there for a minute that she was ever going to come.
Day 4 for us today, BF going well and my supply has been built up by my power sucker, so feeling quite firm today..
Nights are fine, feeding anywhere between 2 and 3 hours aprox, and today we managed a couple of daytime naps during the day on her own in her moses basket rather than in our arms, completely our fault we have either had visitors wanting cuddles or we just cant take our eyes off her long enough to put her down.
ok I'm suffering from after pains which are worse at night and my pelvis is still sore so hoping that will pass once the hormones settle, have piles too but i'm not surprised she was 10lb 1oz. nipples sore but wouldnt be so bad if I started with the nipple cream earlier. No complaints day 4 and she has been wonderful really..

Alfie is now on bottles - i couldnt keep up with his need on the breast. He now takes formula every 3 hours. Im having trouble getting him to settle on a night time at the minute. He just doesnt like to go to sleep. Last night he got his last bottle at 10.30 and then we took him upstairs and he twisted and cried until his next feed at half 1 when he finally passed out but only after i rocked him for half an hour. He doesnt like to fall asleep on his own.
Im not sure how to settle him tbh. I feed, burp, rock etc and still no luk. Any ideas?

I find swaddling is great for settling baby, and as far as feeding through the night try starting your day at 7am and make sure that you feed your baby with a gap of no longer than 3 hours, babies will make up their feeds during the night if they are still hungry, another tip is to not let them sleep longer than two hours during the day at any one time, i dont mean go in guns blazing but by just unswaddling them and opening their curtains should be enough to encourage them to stir.
another tip if you are finding bubs is falling asleep during feeds during the day and you would like them to feed better, is a bum change halfway through, normally enough to get my little one to complete a feed properly.
Good luck its not an exact science and dont ever feel like you are a failure every, pregnancy, labour and baby is different..just try and enjoy they wont stay like this for long..

Hi Ladies, Hope everyone is well.
I'm doing ok and Niamh is thriving up to 7lb at 12 days, I'm still bf at the moment, she is having more problems than I am with this, I think because she was a small baby she is finding it difficult to take a full feed so at the moment one feed is taking about an hour, it's quite tireing for me especially at night and I've fallen asleep with her at the breast a lot!
I'm coping at the moment but I'm dreading Si going back to work, he has taken care of Oscar every day and I've been concentrating on Niamh but I don't know if I'm going to be able to carry on bf when he's back at work and I'm having to look after both of them full time, I just don't think I'll be able to cope with hour long feeds and a crazy todler making hell because he knows his mummy is unable to move lol!!
If it doesnt work I'm thinking of expressing and bottle feeding, I would feel so guilty if I couldn't give Niamh the same start I gave Oscar, I fed him for 5 months.
Hope everyone's well xx

Hi April mummies,
Hope you are all ok, I have changed my name again from MrsSquidgy to Katies mummy, would like to say that its because I'm not squidgy anymore but thats really not the case. Anyway will worry about getting a figure of some description back at a later date, my lil girl is my main priority right now and she's doing really well, we have one feed in the night, usually anywhere between 2-5am, and then breakfast is anywhere between 7 -8am. She has already gained back her weight that she lost after birth, so now we weigh 10lb 2oz.
After pains have gone and my pelvis is loads better, just the nipples to sort now but with a power sucker like she is i'm not surprised they are tender, and the engorgment is a killer at the mo, these things are all tempory so just bearing with it for now, its very reasuring to know she is thriving being BF, I was concerned with her being such a big baby.

State officials said a Dale County woman, whose name was not released, was diagnosed with West Nile virus.
She has been released from the hospital but is still undergoing treatment.
Forty-seven-year-old Arthur Flynn of Dothan was identified last week as the second human victim of the virus in the state. He is recovering at home after being hospitalized in late July.
A 71-year-old Dale County man was identified as the state's first human case.
So far this year, tests of 210 birds, 25 pools of mosquitoes and five horses revealed the virus. The virus is in 36 of Alabama's 67 counties, officials said.
The numbers exceed the level of virus activity reported last year, when 59 positive birds in 13 counties were detected, and none earlier than the end of August.
In 2001 Alabama experienced two human cases of West Nile virus infection, one of which was fatal.

Robert Downey Jr. promotes 'Iron Man 3' in Beijing
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 7:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 7:19 a.m.
BEIJING - Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr. has traveled to Beijing to promote "Iron Man 3," which was filmed partly in China and features well-known Chinese actors.
At a news conference Saturday, Downey — who reprises the role of Tony Stark in the upcoming movie — said he's fascinated with Chinese culture and loves Chinese movies, while urging the local audience to see the superhero film.
"Iron Man 3" was financed in part by the Chinese company DMG, which has created for the movie the role of Dr. Wu, played by the Chinese actor Wang Xueqi.
DMG chairman Xiao Wenge said introducing Chinese culture to the world is a core mission of his company. China also is a major overseas market for Hollywood movies.
"Iron Man 3" opens internationally later this month.

For children
"Liar & Spy" by Rebecca Stead. Seventh-grader Georges adjusts to moving from a house to an apartment, his father's efforts to start a new business, his mother's extra shifts as a nurse, being picked on at school, and Safer, a boy who wants his help spying on another resident of their building.
For teens

Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the mysterious disease that's killed most of America's children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now 16, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she's on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her.

Eyelash palm pitviper
The eyelash palm pitviper gets its name from spiny scales that project above its eyes. These 'eyelashes' help to break up the outline of the snake's head and therefore help to camouflage it in trees.
Eyelash palms can be a variety of colors including yellow, green, and pink. They are one of the smallest poisonous snakes in Central America, reaching only up to 2.5 feet.
The eyelash viper is generally nocturnal and spends its time in the leaves and branches of trees and other vegetation. To help protect them from the branches and vines that may poke them, eyelash vipers have rough, keeled scales.
In the wild, eyelash palm pitvipers feed on small mammals, frogs, birds, and lizards.
Female eyelash vipers are ovoviviparous, which means that the young developed in eggs inside the mother. Juveniles are either born live or hatch immediately after the eggs are laid. Generally, mothers have six to 12 young at a time.
Range: Mexico, Central and South America
Habitat: tropical forests

About Us > Newsroom > Richard Weber, MD, Begins Tenure as President of American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
National Jewish Health allergist Richard Weber, MD, began his tenure November 13, 2012, as President of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, a national association of 5,700 allergists, immunologists and allied healthcare professionals. The college is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care in allergy and immunology, which makes it a natural fit for Dr. Weber.
"I have done research over the years, but have always viewed myself primarily as a clinician and a teacher," said Dr. Weber. "I try hard to focus on my clinical skills, keeping on top of the latest advances and, above all, taking time with patients and listening closely to their concerns."
As president of the college, Dr. Weber plans to encourage practicing allergists to look beyond their bread and butter practices of treating hay fever and giving allergy shots to become more involved in addressing a wider variety of immune conditions for which they have training and expertise that can benefit patients.
"Clinical immunology permeates so much of medicine, from inflammatory bowel disease, to rheumatoid arthritis and some cardiac issues," said Dr. Weber. "That is part of our training as allergist/immunologists, and we can contribute to diagnosis and care of those patients."
Dr. Weber has played numerous roles within the college, from serving as a regent for a decade, chairing the aerobiology committee for 15 years, and leading its annual workshop on pollen identification for 25 years. For the past several years, Dr. Weber, a devoted amateur photographer, has also taken cover photographs of different plants for each issue of the association's journal, the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, and written an accompanying essay on the plants' biology, natural history and role in allergies.
At National Jewish, in addition to seeing a wide variety of allergic and asthmatic patients, Dr. Weber has developed special expertise in urticaria, and aspirin desensitization for patients with allergies to the medication. As one of the only places in the nation to perform such therapy, Dr. Weber sees patients from across the country.

Review of Boulder show at Fox (4/18/13)
Sage Francis, Prolyphic, and Wheelchair Sports Camp at the Fox Theatre
In the early evening, a small crowd slowly begins to gather in the Fox Theatre, eagerly awaiting the highly anticipated spoken word and hip hop artist Sage Francis. But before the man himself made a début, he brought with him two acts, one from his self-created record label Strange Famous, Prolyphic, and another based out of Denver, Wheelchair Sports Camp. A five member group fronted by their small but mighty MC Kalyn, Wheelchair Sports Camp gave a melange of jazz influenced instrumentals with classic hip hop beats and a fearless lyricist. Backed by both tenor and trumpet, live drums and a turntable, this eclectic bunch dropped fat 909 layered drum beats, gnarly social-politically conscious raps, smooth jazz rifts and muted trumpet delay lines. Having played many shows in Denver over the past several years, WSC knows how to put on a great show, and with the nights only live instrument performance, they brought an aspect to the show that a MacBook sadly cannot. Notable songs included (with a casual shout-out to Radiohead for sample approval) a enjoyable cover of 15 Steps that got the crowd bobbin their heads.
Next up was Prolyphic, a gritty underground reppin rapper sporting a beanie, an SFR t-shirt, and a whole lotta heart. Despite the use of his MacBook as the only recognizable DJ, Prolyphic boasted a set full of potential and catchy lyrics. His lyrics often included ideas about the fakeness of the newly marketable indie style, noting Nikki Manaj and Justin Bieber as culprits, the lack of importance and influence criticism should have on the artists (Rainer Marie Rilke, anyone?), and choruses with heartfelt metaphors, such as, Two sides to every story, two sides to every track. Prolyphic did several theme-based songs, including a pro-green and recycling track embellished with Exxon Mobile callouts, as well as an anti-drug dealer anthem, drug dealer in the Big Brother, prescribed pills kind of sense, something that Prolyphic takes seriously, like my moms canceran attention grabber, indeed. While Prolyphic had some dope beats and the style to match, perhaps what was lacking was a stronger stage presence. Several songs resorted to simply standing with hand gestures to the lyrics, which, despite being a hip hop standard, can become slightly banal after several songs. Overall, Prolyphic provided a nice segue into the one-man-show style that is Sage Francis, and as more fans slowly shuffled 0n to the floor, anticipation was rising.
In the moments before Sage Francis stepped on stage, the Fox was packed wall-to-wall with fans so eager you could equate them with Catholics awaiting the appearance of the Pope. Emerging from the darkness of backstage, Sage strode confidently out, walked right back to the Strange Famous Records flag hanging up in the back, took it down and draped it around himself. Donning the new-found cape only added to the curiousness of his attire, which included a white head wrap and a long, single piece black garment like the garb of a spiritual leaderan attire fitting considering Sages influence on both spoken word and the underground hip hop community. Emitting a natural aura of greatness, a critical eye, and mental dexterity, Sage proceeded to bring the audience into his world for the night, one that is no stranger to a plethora of emotions, ranging from honest confessions and seriously criticism to word-play witticisms and just plain fun.
Opening with three throwbacks to his 2004 album Personal Journals: Runaways, Escape Artist, and Crack Pipes, Sage provided those throwback hits that ever fan craves for. Interlaced between these classics were wildly entertaining covers the likes of Nine Inch Nails Closer (accompanied by generous hip thrusts), the Pixies Where Is My Mind? (posed to the audience with seemingly genuine curiosity), and A Tribe Called Quests Can I Kick It? (trading freestyle fours with in the house hip-hop artist Sole from Denver). Sage, lively and jovial, at one point stopped all music, and since he was feelin so good, dropped new material that had not yet been set to music, giving a sneak peak to a rumored new album. Other songs included an excellent spoken word version of Hopeless, Damage (Uhh!!), Climb Trees, Makeshift Patriot, Smoke & Mirrors, Sea Lion and Broken Wings, which were all well received.
As if the show werent already entertaining, Sage Francis provided further gags such as baby-powder hand claps, a belly-kissing fan, broccoli launched into the crowd, necklace harmonica sessions, and ballerina twirls. Choruses frequently involved crowd participation, filling in their favorite lines and phrases at the behest of Sages audience-directed mic, creating a unified atmosphere that kept smiles on all faces. While most of the songs fed into each other, on several occasions they were interrupted by brief splices of musical throwbacks, giving big ups to Public Enemy, Johnny Cash, Steve Miller, and others, and at one point concluding, Theres a lot more Flava Flaves than Chuck Ds, and thats a problem. Sages satisfyingly long performance was concluded with his sincere track from his 2010 record Li(f)e, Best of Times, after which Sage dropped right into the front of the crowd for some after-show loving. Its always a wonderful experience when an artist gives their time and attention to an audience of admiring fans, to whom a hug from someone they truly look up to mean just ask much as any album can, and it was a fitting way to end a fantastic show.

Next Week's Tape: Alcoa Can't Wait…to Start Earnings Season
Investors won't have much new economic data to pore over next week. Even fiscal troubles may fade into the background, allowing economy-watchers to focus on the start of earnings season and a flurry of speeches by regional Federal Reserve bank presidents.
Earnings season kicks off next week with two blue-chip reports Alcoa, Dow component and industrial bellwether, reports on Tuesday after the bell. Wall Street consensus pegs the company's fourth-quarter earnings at 6 cents a share, reversing a loss of 3 cents a share in the fourth-quarter of 2011. (In case you didn't get the reference in the headline, by the way, let us remind you about how excited Alcoa gets over aluminum.)
On Friday Wells Fargo reports. Earnings season proper gears up the week after.
Additionally, the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas kicks off. While the trade show has lost some of its cachet, it still commands attention in the tech world.
One economic report this upcoming week with big market-moving potential will be the U.S. trade report scheduled for Friday.
Economists will want to gauge the impact of imports and exports on fourth-quarter gross domestic product growth. A narrower real net export figure added to GDP growth in the third quarter.
Forecasters surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect that the November trade gap narrowed to $41.0 billion, from $42.2 billion in October. Falling oil prices probably reduced the level of nominal imports in November.
On the labor front, two reports are scheduled for next week. The weekly jobless claims number, out Thursday, will be the first reading of 2013, but the data may be skewed by office closings for New Year's Day. The median forecast is for 368,000 jobless claims filed in the week ending Saturday.
Thursday also will see the November report on job openings and labor turnover. Although the data are lagged and not forecast by economists, the Jolts report offers insight into the labor-market churning not captured in the more up-to-date payrolls report.
For next week's report, economists will want to see whether uncertainty surrounding the "fiscal-cliff" outcome caused businesses to pull back on gross hiring or job openings.
As always, here's out handy clip-and-save data calendar:
7:30 a.m. ET: NFIB December Small Business Survey
3:00 p.m.: Consumer Credit Nov +$10.3B (4) +$14.2B
Alcoa Apollo Group, Monstanto Schnitzer Steel, IHS, Global Payments
Nothing of note
Constellation Brands, Helen of Troy, Ruby Tuesday
8:30: Weekly Jobless Claims: seen: 368,000; last: 372,000
10:00: November Wholesale Inventories: seen: +0.3%; last: +0.6%
10:00: November Job Openings & Labor Turnover survey
Supervalu, MSC Industrial, Synnex
8:30: November US Trade Deficit: seen: $41.0 billion; last: $42.2 billion

The Boeing 777 that crashed while trying to land at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday is a workhorse of the airline industry that has enjoyed a stellar reputation among pilots for safety.
"It could very easily have the safest record for that size of aircraft," said Robert Herbst, a retired American Airlines 767 pilot and aviation industry consultant in South Carolina.
The Boeing 777 was pressed into service in 1995 and had not been involved in a fatal crash until the incident Saturday, according to AirSafe.com, which tracks crashes and airline industry safety.
The last serious incident involving a 777 occurred on Jan. 17, 2008, when a British Airways 777 arriving from Beijing touched down about 1,000 feet short of a runway at London's Heathrow Airport, skidded more than 1,000 feet and sheared off its landing gear, according to AirSafe.com.
Investigators later determined that the crash was caused by ice that had formed in the plane's fuel system.
The images of Saturday's Boeing 777 wreckage suggested a simple explanation of what caused the Asiana Airlines 777 to crash as it tried to touch down at SFO's Runway 28L, Herbst said.
It's "very obvious what happened," said Herbst, who flew commercial airliners for 41 years before retiring three years ago. "They landed short of the runway. They were too low for the flight path and the tail of the aircraft hit the sea wall."
When approaching SFO, Herbst said, "the nose is pretty high up in the air just before touch down. They weren't high enough and the tail hit the sea wall. This is a no-brainer."
Jet fuel in the wings of the 777 then likely caught fire, Herbst said.
The 777 was operated by Asiana Airlines, South Korea's second-largest airline, behind Korean Air.
Asiana Airlines tweeted out two messages Saturday following the crash.
"Thank you for your concern and support at this time," Asiana wrote in the first tweet. "We are currently investigating and will update with news as soon as possible."
A minute later, a second tweet added: "Our thoughts and prayers are with all the passengers and flight crew on the flight."
Asiana Airlines flies Boeing's twin-engine B777-200ER model, which can carry up to 300 passengers, according to the company's website. The airline says it can fly the 777-200ER for 14 hours non-stop between Seoul and Honolulu or between Seattle and Europe.
The last big crash involving a major U.S. airline occurred on Nov. 12, 2001, when an American Airlines Airbus A300-605R taking off from John F. Kennedy International Airport and bound for the Dominican Republic crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbor, N.Y., just two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The crash was blamed on pilot error.The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the crash was the in-flight separation of the vertical stabilizer "created by the first officer's unnecessary and excessive rudder pedal inputs."
All 260 people on board and five people on the ground were killed.
Smaller airlines have had crashes since.
The last fatal commercial U.S. airplane crash was a Continental Express flight operated by Colgan Air, which crashed into a house near Buffalo, N.Y., on Feb. 12, 2009. All 49 people on the flight and a man in a house were killed.

Now that December is here, many of us are putting up Christmas trees with ornaments. Eagle Public Library is no exception.
We have displayed at least one or two artificial Christmas trees every holiday season for many years. These have traditionally been found by our library's fireplaces on the first and second floors.
This year we are offering something different. On Dec. 6, we are receiving a living fir tree, donated to us by Hospice of the Valley. It will be admired by many people this month while it is housed in our public meeting room.
Library staff member and Young Adult Specialist Dale Green came up with the idea of a "Giving Back Tree" at the library. Handmade ornaments will adorn this special tree, and the public will be invited to participate in a unique exchange that will assist those in need.
Many creative hands and minds have been hard at work putting ornaments together. Some pieces were crafted by library staff members at a special "after library hours FAC." Little helpers have also been creating ornaments. Story-time children decorated "mittens" to hang in the tree. On Dec. 6, Art in the Afternoon elementary-aged children will be given an assortment of art supplies, such as CDs, "jewels," foam holiday shapes and more. Young adults in grades 6 and up have already offered their creative talents at library programs.
The only catch is that children don't initially take home their ornaments. The public (or parent) may come in and "purchase" a selected ornament from the tree by donating three or more canned food items. The library will insure that collected non-perishable goods will go to the food bank of the Vail Valley Salvation Army.
Dale says that needed items include beans, rice, pasta and cereal. Three items is the library's suggested donation. One non-food item, which is also on the Salvation Army's wish list, is diapers.
If you missed one of the library's crafting program opportunities and would like to add your holiday flair to our tree, please do so. You may make ornaments on your own to adorn our library tree. This will be a nice way to have an informal ornament exchange, while also helping out others this holiday season.
This may be of interest to you if you work with a group of crafty children. In the past, we have displayed Girl Scout projects on our trees. So if you are a teacher, Scout leader, or child care provider, please contact us if you'd like to set up a time to decorate our tree.
So far, our ornaments consist of owl pine cones, stars, skis, snowshoes, flowers, birds, mittens and sparkly, round CDs. As most of us know, when creative minds get to work, possibilities are limitless.
Unlike the beloved children's classic, "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein, this is a "giving back tree" where we can reciprocate by helping others. Special thanks to Hospice of the Valley for the donation, and to Dale for coming up with a unique and thoughtful idea.
For more information, call me or Dale at 328-8800. Or drop by the library, chat with one of our staff and check out our marvelous "Giving Back Tree."
