Colgan Flight 3407 Crash Update 2/16/09

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:55:00 +0000

There have been new details released tonight on the Continental Colgan Flight 3407 Crash near Buffalo on Thursday night leaving 50 people deceased.

- NTSB board member Steven Chealander, speaking to reporters today from Buffalo, says further review of the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) also shows that stick shaker and stick pusher, devices that attempt to prevent pilots from entering an aerodynamic stall, had activated after the upset.

- Chealander yesterday reported that initial review of the CVR showed pilots discussing "significant" ice build-up on the wings and windshield.

- De Icing equipment was engaged 11 minutes after takeoff from Newark

- The plane was flying on autopilot during the approach to Buffalo's airport ( until the stall warning kicked in ), some say in poor weather conditions like they had that night, the aircraft should have been flown manually.

Steve Chealander NTSB Comments:

“To say that they should not have been flying on autopilot is not correct,” Chealander said during a briefing held in Amherst, New York. “Thus far, we haven’t determined it was severe icing, it doesn’t seem like it was a severe icing event.”
The crew on the flight voice recorder reported “significant icing.” Chealander said investigators don’t know what that means. The term “severe icing” is an official designation. However, “significant icing” isn’t.

- Moments after last contact with Air Traffic Control, the plane started jerking in motion.... the nose of the plane went upward at 31 degrees followed by a quick 45 degrees down. The plane then rolled about 46 degrees to the left followed by 105 degrees to the right, putting the aircraft onto its side.

- Radar indicated the plane fell from 1,800 feet to 1,000 feet in 5 seconds - the last radar hit was received at 900 feet and the plane was travelling roughly 115 mph.

Pro Bowl MVP:

In 2008, the NFC beat the AFC 42-30. Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings ran 16 times for 129 yards and was named Pro Bowl 2008 MVP. Will he win it again this year? I'm going to go out on a limb and say Michael Turner from Atlanta will win it this year.

The USA Men's Soccer team will face Mexico at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11, 2009.

Where: Columbus Ohio - Columbus Crew Stadium

Fifa World Cup Qualifying Soccer Match info:

U.S. Soccer and Nike are encouraging fans across the country to wear red on Wednesday, Feb. 11, to show their support for the U.S. Men’s National Team’s match against Mexico in the final round of FIFA World Cup qualifying. The match, which is sold out at Columbus Crew Stadium, will be live on ESPN2, ESPN2 HD and Univision beginning at 7 pm. ET.

Why is the U.S Mens soccer game in Columbus, Ohio? Soccer is a huge sport in Mexico and these fans have been known to travel. If this game were close to Mexico, the Mexico fans would out number USA fans and destroy the home field advantage. The US is losing over 2 million in ticket sales due to them playing in Ohio.

Alex Rodriguez Positive Steriods Test 2003 2/7/09

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 15:55:00 +0000

Here we go again! Today, February 7, 2009, Sports Illustrated is out with a report saying that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for the steroid Primobolan and Testosterone while playing Major League Baseball with the Texas Rangers back in 2003.

Now, this is just a report, nothing has been proven as of yet but four different sources told SI this allegation.

Key Points:

- Rodriguez tested positive for Primobolan and testosterone while with the Rangers
- Under the 2003 survey testing, there were no penalties for a positive test
- Rodriguez was one of 104 players who tested positive that year
- On TV interviews, Alex Rodriguez has denied multiple times ever using Steroids
- 5% of Major League players tested positive that year - this sparked MLB to start issuing mandatory steroid drug tests.
-Rodriguez won his third straight mvp title in 2003

What is Stedroid Primobolan?

Primobolan is an anabolic steroid that can be orally taken or injected. It seems to be a very weak steroid but improves strength and really helps you gain muscle mass.

Final Thought - If these allegations are true, it would give Major League Baseball yet another black eye. I've watched countless interviews in which Alex Rodriguez denies using steroids, especially the 60 minute interview. Major League baseball is just very historic and it's image gets tarnished more and more as players are exposed. This one is a shocker to me! Alex Rodriguez is a great player and he doesn't even look like someone who has taken steroids. I always enjoy watching him play and i'm not even a Yankees fan. I have been a Phillies fan all my life.

Stimulus Package 2/6/09 - February 6, 2009

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:10:00 +0000

After rumors that the stimulus package was headed to the Senate yesterday, it appears lawmakers are still putting the final touches on the bill in order to get a passing vote.

There is a small group of both Republicans and Democrats that are trying to shave about 100 Billion off the package. This comes on the same day President Obama begged Washington to get this thing moving as job losses spike and unemployment rises.

Key Potential Cuts from the Stimulus:

Money to fight the Flu
Education Grants
Special Education
No Child Left Behind Act

With the cuts above, Washington hopes to add around 24-25 billion in infrastructure. As far as using American companies, if commodities prices rise over 20%, commodities would be able to be purchased outside the United States.

When all said and done, it looks like this stimulus package will be around 800 billion dollars. It looks like they are moving slower then expected on this bill. Hopefully we get something by next week because I believe Congress goes on vacation soon.

Xbox 360 Live Update 2/5/09 - February 5, 2009

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:41:00 +0000

As some of you might already know, as soon as you sign into Xbox 360 today, 2/5/09, you will be prompted to download the latest update.

What is this Update?

The update addresses the issue that a few people were having with audio and their HDMI connection. This update will be mandatory for all Xbox LIVE members around the world. This update was available on Feb 3rd, 2009. The problem, which popped up following the November 19 launch of the New Xbox Experience, left some Xbox 360 users without sound on certain HDMI-connected displays. Prior to the NXE, these devices properly outputted Xbox 360 HDMI audio.

Feedback: An update for Fable 2 and GTA 4 that are crashing since this NXE would be better IMO.

If you have any comments on the Xbox update, post it below

Stimulus Package 2/5/09 - February 5, 2009

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:35:00 +0000

The Stimulus Package is headed to the US Senate today, 2/5/09, as the job losses keep adding up. Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan was on CNBC today pleading for the Government to get this package moving and passed. " We cannot wait any longer, things are getting worse, stop just standing around and do something, " Granholm pleaded.

Granholm also stated that this stimulus won't solve the whole problem but it could help stop the slide in our economy.

Panasonic announced yesterday it will cut 15,000 jobs
GlaxoSmithKline will axe more jobs, Media reports rumor 8000 - 10,000 jobs will be cut.

Key Stimulus Highlights:

- All stimulus spending must go toward American Goods and Services
- Hopes to create 3-5 million jobs
- Tax credit for home buyers of up to 15,000

Hopefully this package will pass today and we get this thing moving!

Obama Executive Pay 2/4/09 February 4, 2009

tweid05@gmail.com (stockstobuy.org) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:51:00 +0000

President Barack Obama announced a cap on executive pay today, 2/4/08.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday imposed $500,000 caps on senior executive pay for the most distressed financial institutions receiving federal bailout money saying that Americans are upset about this situation.

"For top executives to award themselves these kinds of compensation packages in the midst of this economic crisis isn't just bad taste, it's a bad strategy, and I will not tolerate it as president," Obama said during a White House appearance."We're going to be demanding some restraint in exchange for federal aid , so that when firms seek new federal dollars, we won't find them up to the same old tricks."

In 2008, Wall Street paid out 18 billion in bonuses while businesses faltered. Some of the big banks paying out bonuses argue that these bonus money is paid for the right to keep top talent.

But really, where will they go?
