November 03, 2010 (Muonio, Finland) – The Craftsbury Green Racing Program athletes were the first of over 20 U.S. athletes heading to Europe including U.S. Ski Team members and nine athletes subsidized by the NCCSEF. The Craftsbury Green contingent arrived in Muonio, Finland for the season start FIS races this weekend. The American racers will test their fitness and speed against some of the strongest athletes in the world with five FIS races in Muonio (November 12-14) and Rovaniemi, Finland (November 20-21), as well as ample on-snow training. This will be the largest group of North American racers ever in attendance at the venues.
Lauren Jacobs of the Craftsbury Green Racing Program is among the first eight skiers to land in Finland. Read her blog report about the trip to Europe and her first impressions about Muonio.
After a long couple days of travel we are now settled in our home for the next three weeks: Muonio, Finland. The flights over were pretty uneventful, except that our plane to Paris was remarkably empty so we were all able to stretch out and sleep a bit during the flight. As our final flight descended into Rovaniemi we caught glimpses of a dusting of snow below and an excellent view of a brilliant pink sunset. That may have been our last flight of the journey to Finland but it was not the end of our travels, as we still had a 3 hour drive to Muonio.
The drive from Rovaniemi to Muonio really deserves its own paragraph. Try to picture this: eight skiers plus one Pepa and all of the accompanying ski bags and luggage attempting to squeeze into a nine-seater van. We wanted to strap the ski bags to the top of the van but it only opened on one side (and there was no rack) so there was no way to string the straps through the doors. Instead we piled the ski bags down the center aisle of the van and the duffel bags on top and around – basically wherever they could fit. Chelsea and Hannah had to assume their seats in the back before the van was totally packed because we had to stuff the bags around them. (They definitely drew the short end of the stick on that one.) Three of the seats were facing backwards and the ski bags ran right up to the middle seat in that row. I was sitting there which meant that I had to either straddle the ski bags or stand on the seat while leaning over to avoid hitting the ceiling of the van. For the next three hours I alternated between these two positions, which understandably probably drove Pat and Ollie nuts, but it was the only way I could figure out to prevent my legs from going numb. All in all it was a pretty interesting drive. However uncomfortable we may have been it was exciting to be driving north and seeing snow. And it felt so good to finally get to our cabins beside the river in Muonio!
Our first time on snow was during a skate ski on Wednesday morning. There is some natural snow but what we are skiing on right now is mostly snow saved from last year (mounded into a big pile and preserved under sawdust) and man-made snow. The skiing is great! About 4 km of trails are open at the moment but they hope to double that by this weekend. A big biathlon range with 41 points is located right in the middle of it all and I'm looking forward to getting some shooting in. Though I have to admit that seeing the entire Swedish National Biathlon Team training this morning was really intimidating. This morning we had the pleasant surprise of waking up to a few inches of new snow for our classic ski. Technique has been the big focus so far, making sure we start off the season with good, efficient skiing. This is the time to make changes and today Pepa was out with her video camera, watching carefully as always. The trails are packed with athletes from all over: Sweden, Norway, Russia, Belarus, Switzerland, Estonia, and Ukraine. It's awesome to see so many great skiers in one place, although I think if I tried to ski behind one of the Russian women going "easy" I would be somewhere north of my threshold pace. They. Are. Fast.
Hans, Chelsea and I had a chance to explore the town during our afternoon run yesterday. We successfully located the library and the thrift store, so we're hoping to go back and visit them again soon!

Sacred Heart Cathedral 70, Willow Glen 61
Sacred Heart Cathedral never lost the lead in its 70-61 victory over Willow Glen High School of San Jose in the CIF-Central Coast Section quarterfinals on Saturday at St. Ignatius High School.
Fightin' Irish (12-14) were led by Jamal Ford, who was 8-for-12 from the field with 16 points.
Willow Glen's (14-11) Adbi Muktar led all scorers with 24 points. Jimmy Renneke and Todd Meeker each scored in double-digits and the trio of Renneke, Todd Meeker and Muktar combined for 56 of the Rams 61 points.
"We were just trying to score any way we could, run our plays, and take any shot that was open," said Muktar.
With the win, the Fightin' Irish will face top-seeded Mills High School in the semifinals on Wednesday.
Riordan 69, Monterey 58
Riordan High School, led by senior Ivan Dorsey, pulled out a 69-58 upset win over second-seeded Monterey High School on Saturday in the quarterfinal round of the CIF-Central Coast Section Division III playoffs at St. Ignatius High School.
Dorsey, led the way for the seventh-seeded Crusaders (13-14) with a game-high 32 points.
Monterey (25-2) had four players score in double-figures, but it wasn't enough to stop Dorsey and the Crusaders. Tyler Pappas had 18 points, Shawn Casardo had 13 points, and Shawn Hall and Maurice Gaines each contributed 11 points each for the Toreadores.
Mills 58, St. Ignatius 57 OT
St. Ignatius Prep could not find an answer for Kyle Wong and top-seeded Mills High School of Millbrae as Mills won a 58-57 overtime thriller in the CIF-Central Coast Section Division III playoffs on Saturday at St. Ignatius.
Wong led all scorers with 27 points, but it was his teammate Darryl Wong, not related, who was the key factor in overtime. Six of his 16 points came on two key three point shots in the extra period.
At the end of regulation, Kyle had an opportunity to win the game. Down by one with seven seconds left, Kyle had two free throws. The first one rolled out but he made the second to send the game into overtime.
"I think Kyle missed that first free throw intentionally just so he could get another four minutes out of the season," joked Vikings' Head Coach Rick Hanson. "I told the team [going into overtime] to enjoy these next four minutes."
The Wildcats got solid contributions from Johnny Mrlik and Michael Crocker, who had 18 and 10 points respectively. As a team, they made only shot 2-of-15 from three-point range, a factor that Hanson said was crucial.
Both teams made 40 percent of their shots, but the Vikings made 11 three-pointers.
At the end of the overtime period it looked like the Wildcats were fouled and were going to get free throws down only one point with about a half a second left, but the referees ruled that the buzzer had been sounded.

Remembrance Day here in Canada is increasingly becoming not an excuse to actually respect the past and the sacrifices, BUT to celebrate those sacrifices as clearing the way for ... for what really??
For 'Diversity' and White Genocide. Its disgusting.
The CBC in Canada was more enarmoured with an Afghan refugee becoming a Minister in the Canadian cabinet than in respecting the racial and cultural interests and past of the Canadians that Made the nation.
Nobody there to challenge them, nobody there to disagree.

Once An Unpaid Intern, Always An Unpaid Intern
In my last post, I mentioned a recent survey that demonstrated paid internships often resulted in job offers but unpaid internships tended not to. The authors reported that people with unpaid internship experience only had a one percent edge on people who had not had any internship experience at all.
I don't have any fancy think-tank, academic or consultant white papers to back me up. My own experience, however, and that of my peers is as follows: Few people value other people who work for free. They see you as an unpaid intern. It is difficult for them to see you as someone deserving a paid job. They also know that practically anyone can work for free. Only when a business is willing to pay a young adult does the prior "work" experience indicate quality.
In other words, once an unpaid intern, always an unpaid intern.
Why You Deserve To Be Paid
This is how the world works - businesses exchanges value for value. Everyone's goal is to get as much or more benefit out of a negotiated agreement than their bargaining partner. To negotiate your way into a paying job, you need to know your value, communicate your value, and negotiate the best price for the value you bring to the table.
Every business or organization that seeks an intern needs an employee to do the work they're hiring the intern to do. For-profit enterprises who solicit the services of unpaid interns are exploiting a perfect economic storm - the intersection of the Great Recession of 2008 and the fear struck in the hearts of Gen-Y that they will not get a job good enough to repay their crushing student loan debt.
If you are a recent graduate, you have paid more for your education than anyone, anywhere, at any time in history.
Only the most prestigious American universities charged high tuitions back in the day when your prospective employers - Boomers and Gen-X - went to college, professional and graduate schools. The States picked up the tab for tens of thousands of us because voters used to understand that educating and training the next generation of workers was essential to the economic health of the country.
You didn't educate yourselves just for your own benefit, you educated yourselves for the benefit of the country. And American business owes you for that. It's part of the value you bring to the bargaining table.
Prove your value, stick to your guns. Refuse to work for free.
The only reason you're not getting your market value is because: (a) you're demoralized; (b) your parents, teachers and career services advisors are all telling you the economy is so bad the best you can do is to work for free; and, (c) you don't realize that this situation is new and you are being exploited by people with sufficient resources to pay you.
The step-by-step guide to learning, and negotiating, your true market value, tomorrow.

text: Cape Town - Junior Springboks coach Dawie Theron has called up KZN hooker Franco Marais to replace Jason Thomas in his squad for the remainder of the IRB Junior World Championship 2012.Thomas picked up a head injury in his side's 28-15 win over England on Tuesday night and was forced to leave the field.He had to spend the night in hospital and was operated on Wednesday to repair a fractured bone in his face, ruling him out for six weeks and thus out of the tournament.Marais has been training with the squad during their holding camp just before the tournament and Theron expects him to slot in seamlessly."Franco just missed out on selection for our final group as he was recovering from an ankle injury, so I am very happy for him to get a chance to join the squad again and be a part of the tournament. We obviously feel for Jason and wish him a speedy recovery. He is one of the favourite players in our team environment and we will miss him." Marais was very happy to join the team on Wednesday. "I picked up my injury against the Argentinians a couple of weeks ago and thought my dream of playing in the tournament was gone. I could hardly believe it when I received the call from coach Dawie to join up with them again. I feel for Jason, but hope to use this chance to the best of my abilities," Marais said.Theron also confirmed the continued medical evaluation of regular captain and flanker Wiaan Liebenberg and flyhalf Tony Jantjies, who withdrew shortly before the England clash due to a wrist strain and a sore knee respectively."Our medical team is handling their progress with care. Wiaan will undergo another scan on Friday and we hope Tony will be good to go soonest. We're not replacing them in the squad for now and will be guided by our medical team in this regard." Th Baby Boks clash with Argentina on Sunday in the semi-finals.

More Silver Spring Ephemera
A couple years back I shared a number of old Silver Spring postcards. Here's some more.
Captain Jerry's Seafood, once located at 902 Thayer Avenue. This building still exists and is now home to the Thai Market.
The Motel Park Silver. Still a motel, it now serves as the Days Inn in South Silver Spring, though it looks quite a bit different after a number of renovations.
Located right next door at 8000 13th St. was the In Town Motor Hotel. This motel, too, continues to operate as the Silver Spring Travelodge.
The Guardian Savings and Loan, since demolished, was once located on the corner of Bonifant and Georgia where Piratz Tavern now sits.
A 1930's postcard of the then-new Mrs. K's Toll House, looking almost exactly the same as it does today.
A 1970's card from Monroe Ford ("Home of the Monroe Doctrine") at 1237 E-W Highway, now the site of the NOAA building.
Here's another one from the same dealership a couple decades earlier.
The Silver Spring Holiday Inn Convention Center on Georgia, now a Crowne Plaza.

Episode #15 – April 17, 2012 – Steven Kotler
Journalist, Flow Researcher and Author
Program Description:Abundance: Things Are Better Than You Think
"Through his study of exponential technologies and incentive competitions, Peter (Diamantis) became convinced that abundance for all was within our grasp. Because of his writing and work on cognitive neuroscience and human psychology, Steven (Kotler) came to understand why the majority of the population was blind to this important insight. As this future flies in the face of so much contemporary pessimism, they decided to write a book about it. Abundance is that book.
Abundance is also much more: a very real possibility, a new paradigm created through focused resources and courageous hard work. Peter's basic philosophy has always been that the best way to predict the future is to create yourself. The purpose of this book and this website is to do just that. This is a place where leaders, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, innovators and anyone else can track the technologies and accelerating progress that are now enabling a much better tomorrow. A place where we can all work together to make this vision of abundance a reality.
If you're sick of the doom and gloom, ready for the good news, and excited by this possibility, then welcome aboard.
And we will probably get to talking a bit about Flow…..

Episode #16 April 24, 2012 – Artist, Charles Gilchrist
Program Description: What Is Sacred Geometry?
Everyone is familiar with Pi Π (a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. π is approximately equal to 3.14159. What then is Phi φ (1.6180339887498948482…) otherwise known as the Golden Radio? What do these mathematical numbers mean to us? What are they saying? And why didn't they teach you this in school?
"Some of the greatest mathematical minds of all ages, from Pythagoras and Euclid in ancient Greece, through the medieval Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa and the Renaissance astronomer Johannes Kepler, to present-day scientific figures such as Oxford physicist Roger Penrose, have spent endless hours over this simple ratio and its properties. But the fascination with the Golden Ratio is not confined just to mathematicians. Biologists, artists, musicians, historians, architects, psychologists, and even mystics have pondered and debated the basis of its ubiquity and appeal. In fact, it is probably fair to say that the Golden Ratio has inspired thinkers of all disciplines like no other number in the history of mathematics." Mario Livio,The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, The World's Most Astonishing Number, p.6
Sacred Geometry is the very architecture of the Universe. From the farthest reaches of space, to the shape of a cyclone, a snail's shell, to the human body. Sacred Geometry is the eternal visual language wrapped around the root concepts of the manifest universe. The archetypes and icons of geometry are absolutely perfect, unchanging, and timeless realities springing directly from God Mind which we recognize as the mathematics of geometry.
The Universe is Vibration, and the principles of Sacred Geometry are directly correspondent to ALL wave form phenomenon. ALL vibration. Science agrees, the Universe Is Vibration, and geometry IS vibration manifest on the visual, time/space planes.
Your perspective on the world will be forever altered once you understand these numbers and ratios as they relate to our entire world – and YOU, personally.

Episode 17 May 1, 2012 – Brendan Moriarty
Program Title: Living an Extraordinary Life:
Taking Action to Make a Difference
Inside the Lunchbox Project and The Trust for Public Land
Brendan Moriarty is a project manager for The Trust for Public Land, a national land conservation non-profit organization founded in 1972. This is the organization that grabbed worldwide attention by raising $12.5 million to buy the hilltop behind the iconic Hollywood sign to prevent its impending development. He works in the trenches of land conservation, applying a profound commitment to the environment to create new parks and open space in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Brendan is representative of a new generation of Americans who are going above and beyond the paycheck to make a difference in their communities. He hatched an idea for Earth Day this year called the Lunchbox Project to do something about lunchtime waste in downtown San Francisco. The Lunchbox Project is a large-scale day of action on April 20th in which people are gathering in mass, flashmob-style, to purchase lunch in their own containers in a way that attracts attention and inspires others to do the same. The Lunchbox Project has caught the attention of people around the country. The international Plastic Pollution Coalition, national container manufacturers, zero-waste celebrities, local Sierra Club and Greenpeace employees, and the average office worker are participating in the event. The City of San Francisco is highlighting the Lunchbox Project as their top Earth Day event for San Francisco. And a film crew will be on hand to document the spectacle in order to highlight the issue for a national audience. Brendan has nothing to gain in taking this stand, he's just doing something about an issue in his community.
You can learn more about The Trust for Public Land. You can learn more about the Lunchbox Project by watching this short video, visiting the webpage, or following along on Facebook and Twitter.
Brendan will talk about what he does at The Trust for Public Land, how he got there
and his personal experience of the job. He will also share his experience coming up with the idea of the Lunchbox Project and what it took to overcome resistance and take action. We'll hear about how it went on April 20th and what's next for the project.

Episode 19 May 15, 2012 Rabbi Michael Shevack
Program Title: Restoring Goodness in America: The SixFix
Why is America going through a terrible time? It's because we've lost our spiritual alignment to Life, Reality, God, whatever you call it.
Michael Shevack has been an inter-religious leader for over twenty years. His book, The Six Fix. A Simple Guide to Restoring America's Goodness, can help everyone– 5 year olds or senior members of Congress–get their lives back on a correct spiritual track.
Shevack says, "There is an Order to Life. That Order is Spiritual. If the government, economy, and politics is not alignment to the spiritual nature of Life, they just won't work. Life won't support it. That's why the economy is so bad."
Learn how to think, speak and act according to Life-Centered priorities, begin to align yourself to the spiritual design of Life, and you receive back the experience of Good; after all, the word "God" is just the contraction of the word "Good".
The spiritual laws to restore goodness to individual lives are the same laws necessary for restoring goodness to our country.

Heinan History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in the parish of Heene, which is now part of Worthing in the county of Sussex. The surname Heinan belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. The surname Heinan may also be derived from the personal name Henry.
Early Origins of the Heinan family
Sussex, where evidence suggests they held a family seat before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Early History of the Heinan family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Heinan research.
Another 215 words (15 lines of text) covering the years 1273, 1639, 1708, 1673 and 1675 are included under the topic Early Heinan History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Heinan Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Heinan are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Heinan include: Hen, Henn, Henne, Heene, Hene and others.
Early Notables of the Heinan family (pre 1700)
Distinguished members of the family include Hugh Henn, page of the bedchamber to James I and Charles I, and later appointed Keeper of the Queen's Garden, Greenwich in 1639; and his son, Henry Hene (or Henn) (died 1708), an English-born judge who became Chief...

Migration of the Heinan family to Ireland
Some of the Heinan family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 55 words (4 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Heinan family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Heinan or a variant listed above: John George Henn, who sailed to America in 1740; John Peter Henn to Philadelphia, Pa. in 1744; Henn family to America in 1763; Barbara, John and Nicholas Hen to Charles Town [Charleston], South Carolina in 1764.

Most of my life, I kept a safe distance from my dad. I loved him. And I thought I hated him. In his later years, he needed an aortic transplant when he developed an aneurism that could not be repaired in the ordinary way because of his osteomyelitis. I traveled from my life in Oregon to Baltimore where I sat by his bedside for 5 weeks that changed my perception of him forever. I wrote something in my journal on the way home from that amazing time. Now that my father is dead, I wish I'd shared what that time with him meant to me. Each day, he told me a story from his life. I'd listen and then at night I'd return to the motel room I'd rented on the campus of Johns Hopkins and write about what he'd told me that day. If my father cried the following morning when I read it to him, I knew I got the important things right. I wish he could have known how I changed as result of hearing his life story. Perhaps understanding is all we really need to find forgiveness. This is what I wrote on the plane.
"From the other side of the country, the other side of my life, I came to that place--The Johns Hopkins Hospital--to be with my father. And each day, for more than five weeks, we greeted the morning together.
It was in those moments that I came to understand, I mean really understand, how far my father and I had journeyed together and how much I was able to reconcile the separate truths of that voyage. My father is a man I came to love in an intricate and irreversible way and I can no longer conceive of his absence from my life.
But if time could magically cease for my father and me, I know that is where I would stop it--in that place, at that unlikely time in both our lives. That time when our roles reversed and I became the parent of my father. It was a wondrous, unbelievable time, especially the way we were in the morning.
And that is what I want to remember. To remember always. The two of us, father and daughter, shadowed by the first light. Momentarily alone together, our breath rising into the morning air and him, lying there, telling me for the first time, the story of his life. The story of the man who was, after all, my father."
And so on this Father's Day I go back to that time, as I knew I would, and I remember him with love and respect for everything he endured. For how hard he tried, despite the wounds, to rise above his circumstances and love me and my brothers. My father taught me tenacity. And it has helped me in this elusive pursuit of the writing dream. My father never gave up and he became a pretty good one-handed carpenter. I loved you, Dad. And now, when I can no longer say those words to you, I wish I'd said them more often.
An afterthought: It occurs to me now that, in a way, I did stop time by writing about those weeks with my father. And now I can go back to it whenever I want. Sometimes it's a wonderful thing to be a writer.

The long-term price to pay
April 20, 2011
Filed under Columns
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As graduating seniors prepare to walk this May, many of them step toward an uncertain future. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics pinning the unemployment rate at 8.8 percent as of March, the job market can be a daunting place. This fact might be easier to deal with were many of those graduates not strapped with the burden of student loans. Student loan debt, which has outpaced credit card debt for the first time last year, is likely to top a trillion dollars this year, according to the New York Times article, "Burden of College Loans on Graduates Grows."
This grim future begs the question, is a higher education worth the years of coming payments and the potential postponement of a first home, starting a family and future savings?
According to the College Board, it takes 15 years from the time of enrollment before the income from a bachelor's degree combined with net student loans begins to out-earn what a high school degree would get you. After those 15 years, you may finally see your full salary, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will even have a high-grossing occupation.
In fact, some of the biggest names in modern technology were college drop-outs. Sir Richard Branson of Virgin, Dean Kamen inventor of the Segway, Michael Dell of Dell computers, Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple never earned a college degree.
Yet, these individuals are valued in the billions. Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, hedge fund manager and adventure capitalist, recently created a program called "20 Under 20." The program, which received 400 applications from youth under 20-years-old across the globe, will choose the best and most promising 20 individuals to receive $100,000 to drop out of school and create their own business instead. According to Thiel, while the press has found this highly controversial, "plenty of students, their parents and people in tech have been wildly supportive."
The Princeton Review ranks business administration and management/commerce as the number one most popular bachelor's degree. Students seeing college merely as a means to a successful end result may choose this major as a surefire way into the business world. After all, any $100,000 dollar investment like a college education should pay off, right? Right?
Not necessarily.
I spoke with a couple students to keep touch with how the UMass community feels about earning a four-year degree, despite acquiring loans. Meridith Vaughn, a sophomore in the Isenberg School of Management says, "It's all about the internships."
Taking business classes does not necessarily prepare you for the hard and fast world of real business.
Stefano Perti, a sophomore marketing major, agrees with this statement. "Our classes are only worth the cost of the books we have to buy. If you want to know how business works, the best way to do it is to get an internship [and] get some real practice," he said.
The skills necessary to succeed – and to pay off the average $24,000 of debt, according to the Project on Student Debt – cannot really be taught in the classroom.
Instead, a student must attempt to find an internship, often highly competitive, to earn those skills. With individuals like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs making a killing every year, is it truly necessary to have a degree? Why not delve into the business world straight away, saving vast amounts of money and gaining the hands-on experience that employers are looking for?
However, there are definite benefits to earning a degree. According to the College Board, the median earnings of bachelor's degree recipients working full-time year-round in 2008 were $55,700, which is $21,900 more than the median earnings of high school graduates. Perhaps then the question is not whether a higher education is worth the expense as a whole, but rather if it is worth how much we pay for it. With the price of education at the University of Massachusetts and Chancellor Robert Holub's recent announcement of a $28 million deficit between funding and expenses, the gap will most likely to be made up by increased fees and the state of student debt can only worsen. Coupled with an uncertain economy and any future debts that might arise, we must ask ourselves when the education that we hope will someday put us in the green, inevitably puts us permanently in the red.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (TheStreet) -- It is rare for a U.S. airline to lose all contact with one of its aircraft, but it does happen.
Flying from Charlotte to Rio about four years ago, US Airways Flight 800 lost contact with the carrier for about an hour and a half after heavy fog forced the airplane to divert from its destination in Rio to Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, about 300 miles away, according to four US Airways pilots, interviewed separately, who asked that their names not be used.
The airplane, a Boeing 767-200, predated the time when airplanes were equipped with satellite data links.
Neither VHF nor HF communication was available in the area, and at the time USAirways had not equipped the B-767 with a satellite phone, even though some other airlines routinely did so. As a result, the pilots had no way to quickly advise dispatch of their location.
The event occurred months after US Airways began daily Charlotte-Rio service on Dec. 15, 2009. The exact date could not be determined. Because of heavy fog, the aircraft could not land in Rio. The pilots "tried to divert to Bela Horizonte and Sao Paulo and were denied both" due to a profusion of diverted aircraft, said a US Airways pilot.
"They ended up in Campinas, which was not a part of the flight plan," the pilot said. "They could not reach the company via VHF or HF radio, so they landed and called on the ground."
The call was delayed, however, because all of the gates at Campinas airport were temporarily occupied by other planes, including many that had also diverted. The pilots could not contact the airline until they entered the airport and used a telephone.
Concern over the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 prompted memories of the Rio flight, simply because it represented a rare case when a US Airways flight lost contact.
Loss of contact "is a big concern," said John Goglia, a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board who now blogs on airline safety for Forbes. "It happens occasionally. Once is too much." US Airways declined to comment for this story. Goglia said modern airplanes like the Boeing 777 are equipped with satellite transmission systems, but older 767s -- particularly the US Airways 767s, most of which flew for Piedmont Airlines -- are not.
The route from Charlotte south to Rio takes aircraft over the Amazon. While pilots typically communicated by VHF radio, coverage was spotty. In fact, US Airways pilots in the area had a list of more than a dozen VHF frequencies to try, in hopes of finding one that worked. "This was a nasty --- night" and none of the transmissions worked, a pilot said.
Another pilot added: "The weather got real foggy. The pilots diverted to a secondary diversion point. But they couldn't get to a gate and the area had no ACARS coverage and they had no satellite phones and they couldn't communicate. Dispatch was sweating bullets because they thought they had lost the airplane." ACARS is the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System, a digital system for transmitting brief messages via radio or satellite.
The incident occurred in 2010, during a period of intense conflict between the carrier and the U.S. Airline Pilots Association, which represents its pilots. At the time, the airline disputed various pilot reports regarding unsafe conditions.
Nevertheless, soon after the Brazil incident, US Airways decided to equip the 767s with satellite phones.
US Airways merged with American (AAL) in December. In February, the carrier said it would discontinue the Charlotte-Rio flight early in 2015, the first major cutback it announced following the merger. American serves Rio from Dallas, Miami and New York Kennedy airports. Also, American will continue to operate Charlotte-Sao Paulo service, which US Airways began in June, using a Boeing 767-200.

The poor babies of the religious right. They are so persecuted, they need to have a conference to whine about it:
The War On Christians And The Values Voter in 2006 Conference will be held March 27-28 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.
This is the first conference to cover every aspect of the cultural war on Christians --- including attacks by Hollywood, the news media, gay activist and leftist groups like the ACLU and Anti-Defamation League.
If any one of these pampered, middle-class twits actually knew for five minutes what it really was to be a minority, their world view would collapse like faster then a souffle during a French baker's strike.
My favorite speaker on the lineup? None other then Pastor Tom Crouse, who gave us the Mr. Hetero contest! Do you remember how that turned out?
Thanks to Atlanta Malcontent for the heads-up.
