CAMP SCHWAB, Okinawa, Japan -- Being recognized as the best at anything is an accomplishment in itself. Being recognized as the best shooters in the Marine Corps is an honor some consider second to none.
Members of the Marine Corps Shooting Team traveled from Marine Corps Base Quantico to Okinawa to teach Marines with various III Marine Expeditionary Force and Marine Corps Installations Pacific units proper shooting techniques during the Far East Division Matches Jan. 18-31 at Camp Schwab.
The Marine Corps Shooting Team consists of marksmen handpicked from the Corps' top shots as demonstrated through exceptional performance at shooting competitions.
"We travel to every division match: Far East in Okinawa, Pacific in Hawaii, Western in Camp Pendleton and Eastern in Camp Lejeune," said Gunnery Sgt. Heath A. Fernald, the staff noncommissioned officer in charge with the Marine Corps Shooting Team, Weapons Training Battalion, Training Command, Training and Education Command. "Our mission is to teach advanced fundamentals in marksmanship and make sure the division matches are kept within the standards of the competition-in-arms program for small-arms competition."
As part of their duty during division-level matches, the shooting team makes sure competitors know what goes into taking a well-aimed shot, according to Fernald. The competition is about learning and applying advanced shooting techniques, and the team taught the Marines everything from basic positions to proper trigger control.
"Over the course of the match, we taught Marines basic fundamentals such as muscle relaxation, proper bone support, shooting positions, grip alignment, sight alignment and sight picture," said Fernald. "If Marines master all these shooting techniques, they will be successful, but it's their job to find what works."
Repetition is everything, according to Staff Sgt. Jonathan E. Shue, a small-arms weapons instructor with the Marine Corps Shooting Team. Since the courses of fire are different from standard rifle and pistol qualifications, such as requiring 20 shots from the standing position, a magazine change during rapid fire, and firing the pistol with only one hand, it is very important to find a rhythm, so every shot is the same and the rounds impact on target.
"There are multiple ways to hold the rifle," said Shue. "Marines should always place the butt stock of the rifle in the same place in their shoulder every time they shoot."
A problem some Marines have is jerking the trigger, meaning they are anticipating their shot and pulling back too hard, according to Cpl. Neil N. Sookdeo, a small-arms weapons instructor with the Marine Corps Shooting Team.
"This can be fixed by placing the trigger on the joint of their index finger and slowly pressing back until the round fires," said Sookdeo. "Being completely relaxed is the key to great shooting. If the Marines want to succeed, they need to be consistent and stress-free."
While the competitors take what they learn and apply it to the competition, the instructors hope they also go back to their units and teach the Marines around them the advanced techniques and fundamentals they learned here, according to Fernald.
"More Marines need to get involved in this competition to see how important and valuable this is to the Marine Corps and individual Marines," said Fernald. "It's a competition that breeds excellence."
The Far East Division Matches concluded Jan. 30. Results will be published Feb. 8.

Housed inside a secure location at Fort A.P. Hill is a building that few get to enter.
It's not on any map, and most staff, participants, and visitors don't even know it exists.
But behind a tall, barbed-wire fence and inside a nondescript white building is a communications nerve center. It's a network of military, state, local, and BSA personnel who keep their fingers on the pulse of the jamboree.
Its official title is the Joint Multi-Agency Operational Command Center, or JMAOCC (pronounced "jah-mohk"). To enter, you either need to be "on the list" or have a military escort. Once you get past the checkpoint, it's like a scene from "Apollo 13." To your left, video monitors show dozens of security cameras steadily panning across the jamboree site. In front of you is a satellite image of Fort A.P. Hill, a weather radar, and a communications chat log. Another giant projection screen to the right shows Fox News.
Everywhere you look, people are at work. Representatives from each branch of the armed forces talk on their cell phones or busily type on their laptop computers. BSA officials, Virginia state police, and emergency medical personnel review the minute-by-minute schedule posted on the wall. They're ready for any crisis that might arise.
Even though the place was nearly full, it wasn't noisy. You get the feeling that everyone is calm but prepared.
Col. Vic Dallin leads the operation. He's part of the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, which coordinates multi-agency events such as this one. Col. Dallin has worked at a G-20 summit, a presidential inauguration, a Republican National Convention, and a Democratic National Convention.
That made him more than qualified to lead the jamboree, where hundreds of thousands of participants, staff, and visitors have descended on Fort A.P. Hill over the past week.
By housing all critical units under one roof, each agency can respond to a medical, weather, or security crisis immediately.
The 2010 National Scout Jamboree is just the latest example of a strong relationship between the BSA and the branches of the U.S. armed forces, Col. Dallin said.
"The Scouting organization and the military have principles and ideas that are very much aligned," he said.
Thanks to the largely invisible efforts of those working in the JMAOCC, this event can live up to organizers' promises to make it the safest jamboree yet.

A highly sophisticated microscope funded through a major grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will enhance both research and teaching at Hope College.
The NSF has awarded the college $427,450 for a Nikon A1 laser scanning confocal microscope system. Scheduled to arrive on campus later this month, the instrument will be a cornerstone of the college's new microscopy facility, which features four microscopes, each of which has different capabilities.
The new instrument, like the others in the laboratory, will be used by faculty-student research teams from a variety of departments, with projects ranging from studying cell functioning in the microscopic roundworm called Caenorhabditis elegans, to 3D surface imaging of skeletal crystal orientation in sea urchin spines. A total of six groups from three of the eight departments in the natural and applied sciences--biology, chemistry, and the geological and environmental sciences--already have plans for new microscope, a number that the grant's principal investigator, Dr. Aaron Putzke, anticipates will only grow.
"It's really nice to obtain an instrument that's useful to a division, as opposed to a few people in one department," said Putzke, an assistant professor of biology and Towsley Research Scholar at Hope who will be among the researchers using the new system. "As more and more people realize the capabilities of the microscope, I expect there will be more researchers than that."
In addition to allowing the study of samples at the molecular level at high resolutions, the new microscope permits viewing of thick samples and even living samples while also zeroing in on specific layers within the material being studied. The flexibility, in combination with its image quality, will be a boon to researchers, Putzke noted.
"It gives us much higher resolution, which will allow us more accuracy in our data collection," he said. "It's technology that allows us to answer more questions than what we could answer with what we have now."
Crucially, he said, the new system is also going to prove a boon in science education at the college. Students participating in the research projects alongside their faculty mentors will be working with the instrument, but it will also be available to students in classes at the college, giving them experience with technology normally found only at large research universities—and not typically available to undergraduates.
"Part of our focus is to expose students to current technology used in research, so people will use it in courses," Putzke said. "We can expose well over 100 students a year by including coursework and not just research purposes."
The other three major research instruments in the microscope facility are a Zeiss Axiovert 200M Apotome inverted epifluorescent system, Nikon Eclipse TE300 inverted epifluorescent microinjection system, and Olympus BH2 upright epifluorescent system.

Hint: it would have been insane and filled with nostalgia.
Okay, let's be honest. Something like a full-length Star Wars-Nintendo mash-up movie could never, ever, ever have actually happened—which should certainly make us appreciate James Farr's latest eight-minute masterpiece that much more, in which Link Skywalker faces Ganon-Darth and the evil Empire in a quest to save the galaxy and destroy the dreaded Death
Star Moon. Which is, of course, controlled using a Wiimote.

A year after Paradise Homes abruptly shut its doors, nearly two dozen of its customers are still trying to collect damages from Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the master developer of Lakewood Ranch.
But a Manatee judge recently sided with SMR on several key points in a lawsuit filed by the home buyers, which claims the developer failed to adequately vet Paradise before awarding it "approved builder" status in the master planned community.
Though the judge dismissed claims of negligence against SMR, a plaintiffs' attorney noted those same allegations could be included in amended complaints, should they be refiled.
The buyers also must now file separate statements of claims and spell out details of alleged misrepresentations by the developer.
"It's a hurdle, but not an obstacle," said Alan Tannenbaum, the plaintiffs' attorney.
When Paradise filed for bankruptcy a year ago, it left customers — most of whom had bought homes in Lakewood Ranch — with homes that were not started or only partially completed.
It took Paradise customers Don and Bonnie Staley until September to move into their new home in the Royal Valley neighborhood of Lakewood Ranch's Country Club East.
After Paradise failed even to break ground on their lot, the couple hired custom builder John Cannon Homes to construct their house, said Don Staley.
He figures the couple lost more than $130,000 to the defunct builder. Now, he's hoping to recover some money through the lawsuit.
"I wrote it off a year ago," Staley said. "But it would be nice to get some payments."
Of the 22 home buyers suing SMR, at least half of them suffered six-figure losses, with some out more than $200,000, Tannenbaum said.
Most of them, like the Staleys, had to pay other builders to complete their homes, as well as pay off subcontractors to remove liens, he added.
"Some of them are still trying to resolve liens on their property," Tannenbaum said. "We still don't understand why SMR won't step up the plate and resolve these claims."
For its part, SMR blames Paradise and its owner, Jim Butler, for "mismanagement" that contributed to the builder's demise and the problems customers have since faced.
SMR attorney A. Lamar Matthews says Paradise is responsible because it, and not the developer, had the contractual relationships with the home buyers.
"We think, legally, it's a stretch to have someone who is not a party be responsible when something goes wrong," Matthews said.
Paradise's demise represents a rare black eye for Lakewood Ranch, an 8,500-acre community that has dominated the region's real estate market and garnered acclaim nationwide.
In all, more than 8,000 houses and condominium units have been built there.
Butler, meanwhile, has lost more than his company. Northern Trust Bank foreclosed on his six-bedroom home in The Oaks, in Osprey, after he failed to make payments on a $1.1 million loan. The bank took control of the home at a foreclosure auction in mid-October.
Butler, who could not be reached for comment, did not contest the foreclosure, and Northern Trust received a default judgment.
Meanwhile, Extreme Remodelers, Paradise's parent, remains an active bankruptcy case. Court filings show an estimated $1.2 million in assets and $2.6 million in liability claims, mostly from the company's unsecured creditors.
The bankruptcy trustee in the case wants to sell some property — furniture, tools, materials, office equipment and the like — from Paradise's former headquarters in Venice.
Despite the objections of several creditors who said they may have claims on those assets, a federal judge has approved the sale, court records show.
Paradise's decline and Butler's own fall from grace was swift at Lakewood Ranch, where the builder was once a sales leader in the community's tony Country Club East development.
That was no easy feat: Just getting into Lakewood Ranch, which prides itself on its select roster of approved builders that have met "rigorous standards" set by the developer, has kept some contractors out.
Paradise began building there in 2010, even though Butler later admitted in Extreme Remodelers' bankruptcy case that the builder was a new company with no financial track record.
"He admitted that they never asked him for financial statements because it was a start-up," Tannenbaum said.
The attorney also says Paradise used general contractor Kirk Blackburn as the qualifier for construction. Blackburn, who lived in Palm Harbor at the time, had earlier been convicted of grand theft.
Butler told creditors at a bankruptcy meeting that he paid Blackburn $1,000 a month to use his license, and that Blackburn visited homes under construction twice a year, Tannenbaum said.
In a letter to home buyers just before Paradise shut down in October 2012, Butler said he priced his homes with too-thin margins and became burdened with overhead from sales and marketing, along with rising costs for materials and labor.
Tannenbaum also contends that Butler channeled funds from Paradise into the Viking Culinary Center, a now-closed cooking school in Lakewood Ranch that rented space on SMR's highly successful and visible Main Street.
"That gave SMR more incentive to push Paradise over everybody else," Tannenbaum said. "It was an undisclosed conflict of interest."
Matthews counters that SMR had no obligation to track the pace of construction at homes or when lenders or others paid subcontractors for work.
"They don't have a contractual relationship with Lakewood Ranch," Matthews said. "They bought from builders."
The 22 home buyers sued SMR in March in Manatee Circuit Court. SMR filed defensive motions, and Circuit Judge Diana Moreland has ruled for the developer on several counts, including the negligence allegation.
As a result, the buyers will now have to file separate statements of claims rather than group them together. They also will have to provide more details to support their claims under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
Moreland dismissed the negligence claim after SMR argued that it was not required to take actions that would have prevented the risk posed by Paradise's own mismanagement.
That motion was granted without prejudice, which allows it to be refiled in any amended complaints.
Paradise customers yet to find compensation for deals
A year after Paradise Homes abruptly shut its doors, nearly two dozen of its customers are still trying to collect damages from Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the master developer of Lakewood Ranch.

Tournament Most Outstanding Player, UMBC senior forward Pete Caringi III(Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall) scored a pair of goals, leading the top-seeded and sixth-ranked Retrievers to a 4-0 victory over Hartford in the America East Championship game.
The Retrievers, who lead the nation in winning percentage, (16-1-2) earn America East's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years. This season marks the first time that UMBC captured the league's regular season and championship title.
UMBC will learn of its seeding in the NCAA Tournament during the NCAA Men's Soccer Selection Show on Monday at noon.
"We're a very confident group… we're looking forward to seeing who we are going to play on Monday," said head coach Pete Caringi, Jr. "All along, our goal has been to win the America East and go as far as we can go. Last year, we were excited about playing in the NCAA Tournament, now we want to go farther."
Hartford started the game brightly, and nearly too an early lead when midfielder Aleko Petridis hit the post in the 9th minute from the top of the box. But that seemed to awaken UMBC and the Retrievers would score just 51 seconds later.
Junior back Jordan Becker (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) drove down the left side and crossed a ball into the box. It deflected off a Hartford defender and Caringi headed the redirect past UH goalkeeper David McKinnon from seven yards away.
Caringi would have two more chances in the first half, but missed one wide and McKinnon came up with a stop on the other attempt.
UMBC led, 1-0, at the half, but junior back Oumar Ballo (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) scored just 3:59 into the second half to double the Retriever advantage. Junior midfielderGeaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mount St. Joseph) struck a corner kick toward the near post. Caringi got onto it and flicked it towards the far right post, where Ballo headed it home from close range.
Caringi tallied his second goal of the game and league-leading 12th of the season in the 57th minute to put the contest out of reach. Sophomore midfielder Malcolm Harris (Damascus, Md./McDonogh) bent in a corner from the right side, and the ball skidded off the turf and to a waiting Caringi, who headed it beyond McKinnon and inside the far left post.
Junior midfielder Mamadou Kansaye (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh) finalized the scoring by converting a penalty kick in the 86th minute. Junior midfielder Stephen Ho (North Potomac, Md./Wootton) was taken down in the box and the Retriever captain drilled home the ensuing penalty kick.
Caringi, Ballo, and senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres (Rosedale, N.Y./Mercer County CC) and senior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) were named to the All-Championship team.
UMBC outshot Hartford, 19-7, and Saunders made two saves to record his 24th career shutout. Saunders has not allowed a goal in his last four America East Tournament games.
Notes: UMBC becomes the first repeat America East champion since 1997 and is just second program in conference history to win 3 titles in 4 years…The Retrievers are the first No. 1 seed to win tournament since 2008… Caringi's five points and two goals tied a single game tournament record… Caringi, who scored eight goals in his first four games in 2013, seven-game goal-scoring drought with the two-goal effort and now has nine career multiple-goal efforts… UMBC's 16 victories stands alone as the second-most in school history… The 1999 team won a school-record 19 games.

Cancer counts as a pre-existing condition when you apply for travel insurance.
Providers typically consider pre-existing conditions to be:
- any serious condition such as cancer, heart trouble or respiratory problems
- any conditions you have seen a doctor about in the last year, including minor ones
- any condition for which you are waiting for test results
- any condition for which you are waiting for an operation.
If you tell travel insurance providers about any of these that apply to you, they can offer you guidance. If you do not tell them about a pre-existing condition and you then need to make a claim, they may refuse to cover you.
Even if you had cancer a long time ago, it is best to let the insurance provider know, although this may not necessarily affect the price you pay.

(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) – The Carnegie Mellon University football team hosted Catholic University on Friday, September 14 and led from start to finish claiming a 35-17 victory. The Tartans remain perfect on the season at 3-0 while the Cardinals fall to 1-2.
Senior running back Jared Delello gave the Tartans an early 7-0 lead on a 1-yard plunge on the opening possession of the game. Two plays prior, Delello broke loose for a 42-yard run setting up his score.
Catholic's Timbo McGarry got the Cardinals on the scoreboard on their first possession as well. His 24-yard field goal sailed through the uprights making the score 7-3 with 7:31 to play in the first quarter, capping an 11-play, 53-yard drive.
Two plays into the Tartans' next possession junior quarterback Rob Kalkstein connected with sophomore wide out Timothy Swanson for a 65-yard touchdown. The score marked Kalkstein's third straight game with a touchdown toss of 50 yards or more and made the score 14-3 in favor of the home team.
Before the end of the first quarter, the Cardinals cut into the Tartans' lead. Nick Cortese finished off another long drive (12-play, 63-yard) for Catholic with a 1-yard rushing score. After the converted point-after attempt the score was 14-10 Carnegie Mellon heading into the second period.
Halfway through the second quarter the Tartans extended the lead on another touchdown strike from Kalkstein. This time the junior found the team's leading receiver Tim Kikta for 28 yards, marking the third straight game the tandem hooked up for a score.
The Tartan defense held the Cardinals to a three-and-out on their next possession. On the first Tartan play following the punt, junior wide receiver Colin Lang found senior running back Jake Nardone on a double pass for 43 yards setting the stage for Kalkstein's third touchdown strike of the game. The signal caller found senior running back Patrick Blanks on a 19-yard crossing route, pushing the home team's lead to 28-10 heading into the break.
Delello, who ended the game with 74 yards rushing on 12 carries, scored his second 1-yard rushing touchdown in the closing minutes of the third quarter to give the Tartans a 35-10 advantage.
A late score by the Cardinals made the score 35-17 when Greg Cordivari tossed a 32-yard pass to Tucker Hubbell.
Carnegie Mellon ended the game with 453 total yards to the Cardinals' 396. The Tartans had 333 yards through the air with Kalkstein finishing with a career-high 290 yards on 10-of-12 passing and a career-high three touchdowns.

'Star Trek's' Leonard Nimoy Once Met Jimi Hendrix
While we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced,' we'd be remiss if we didn't pass along this strange bit of news that passed across our desk the other day. Apparently Leonard Nimoy, best known as Mr. Spock on the 'Star Trek' television series and movies, had a close encounter with Jimi Hendrix.
As part of a lengthy video interview with Geoff Boucher of the L.A. Times, the actor-director-singer-photographer talks about meeting Hendrix shortly before the rock legend's death in 1970. While in Cleveland promoting his album 'The New World Of Leonard Nimoy,' which features Nimoy's take on folk-rock and country standards such as 'I Walk the Line' and 'Proud Mary,' Nimoy was thrown a dinner with local music industry people.
"During the course of the evening, somebody came to me and said, 'Jimi Hendrix is in the next room. He heard you were here, he would like to come and say hello,'" Nimoy said. "I thought about it for a nanosecond, and I said 'bring him in.'"
About Hendrix, Nimoy says he was "charming," "very nice" and a "great, great artist" who "died much too young." Boucher and Nimoy then discuss how 'Star Trek' and Hendrix's music reflected the cosmic sensibilities that were prevalent at the time.
Leonard Nimoy released five albums between 1967 and 1970. As with the records released at the same time by his 'Star Trek' co-star William Shatner, the albums are more loved for their novelty value and camp appeal than for their musical merit.
For those of you who may not believe it, a picture of the meeting, which also contains bassist Noel Redding, is offered in the video below.

2011 Ohio Athletic Conference Preview
Editor's Note: Chris Miller filed this report from the 2011 Ohio Athletic Conference Media Day at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 9th, 2011. You can hear Chris on the call for Marietta College sports on 88.3 WMRT-FM and online at pioneers.marietta.edu, including tonight's football season-opening game against Thiel at the newly-renovated Don Drumm Stadium. Kick-off is at 7 PM.
Just days after the likes of Deion Sanders and Shannon Sharpe made their way into football
legend status, members of the ten Ohio Athletic Conference football teams and the media gathered at
the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton to vote on the upcoming season. Mount Union, winners of the
last 19 OAC titles, took 23 of 23 first place votes from the media and nine out of 10 first place votes from
the coaches.
The media poll followed with Ohio Northern, Baldwin-Wallace, Otterbein, John Carroll, Capital,
Heidelberg, Muskingum, Marietta, and Wilmington. The coaches poll went Mount Union, Ohio
Northern, Baldwin-Wallace, Otterbein, Heidelberg, Capital, John Carroll, Muskingum, Marietta,
Below is a team-by-team outlook for the 2011 season.
University of Mount Union Purple Raiders: What can be said? 22 overall and 19 straight OAC titles.
Head coach Larry Kehres has 49 letterwinners returning and 18 overall starters. Quarterback Neal
Seaman is back for his, believe it or not, junior year. Had he stayed healthy in last year's playoffs, the
Purple Riders would've almost certainly taken home their 12th National Championship. Mount always
seems to have a quarterback that you think graduated, but is somehow still on the roster; i.e. Seaman,
Kurt Rocco. Until someone actually knocks the Purple Raiders off, it's their conference to lose.
Ohio Northern Polar Bears: Since Head Coach Dean Paul has led the charge up in Ada, his teams have
won at least six games in conference five out of seven years. Look for 2011 to be more of the same. The
team finished 10-2 last year, and made it to the second round of the Division III playoffs, one of the best
in ONU history. They bring back 47 letterman however; they do however have to replace two-time All-
American Brent Donley, who essentially was a human wrecking ball (1,560 yards, 15 TDs). Also up for
grabs this season is the QB position. However being senior heavy, especially on the offensive line and
linebacker core, the Polar Bears will be gunning for the post-season in 2011.
Baldwin-Wallace Yellow Jackets: BW is a team I think could really go above and beyond their
expectations for the upcoming season. The team has 10 of 11 starters returning on offense that went 7-
3 overall. Senior tailback Tim Miker and Junior QB Ryan O'Rourke, who combined for more than 2,100
yards last year, will be the focal point of the spread offense that the Yellow Jackets run. BW also plays
six of their games at home this year, where they are 147-31-2, including an October 15 match-up with
Otterbein Cardinals: Otterbein has quietly been pretty successful over the past handful of years, going
23-8 since 2008. Although All-OAC running back Colton Coy is gone, the offense is solid with 3 seniors
and one junior on the line, and mouthful of a QB in Austin Schlosser. Schlosser completed 56 percent of
his passes last year and notched 14 TDs. The Cardinals only have four games in Westerville this season,
and open up the campaign against Gallaudet in Washington D.C. on September 3.
Heidelberg Student Princes: Year in and year out the 'Berg is an offensive power house. However in
2010, like head Coach Mike Hallett said on Media Day, "We weren't very good on defense." Last season
the team scored over 100 points in a span of three games, and lost everyone. The offense will have to
replace all-everything Wide Receiver Mike Preston (1,213 yards, 76 receptions) who graduated and
signed as a non-drafted free-agent wide with the NFL's Tennessee Titans. The backbone for the team
will be the offensive line, where everybody returns. The continuity of the line will allow a new QB, either
junior Cody Eden or sophomore Asher Rumple to take over under center, and more than likely run the
offense through running back Germany Woods, who had an outstanding first collegiate year (1,034
yards, 10 TDs).
Capital University Crusaders: Capital is just a few years removed from competing with Mount Union for
the top team in the Ohio Athletic Conference. However they have taken a few steps backwards since
and last year finished 5-5. Gone also are some leaders on the offense and the top linebacker in the
conference in Sam Jacobs. Senior receiver Matt White though should lead the charge for the Crusaders
on offense and is in striking range of leaving as the all-time receptions leader In Capital history. Second
year head coach Henry Stanford will have his team ready to play each week and could surprise a team or
two in 2011.
John Carroll University Blue Streaks: On paper the Blue Streaks look phenomenal. The roster is loaded
with upperclassmen with two and three years of experience. Senior QB Devin O'Brien (1,036 yards, 9
TDs) leads the charge for offense and the defense will lean on C.J. Seitzinger who had 21 tackles in one
game last year, and led the conference with 136 stops. If the seniors play up to their potential and the
team gets a few breaks, coach Regis Scafe's team could be in the hunt for the post-season, a place they
haven't been since 2002.
Muskingum University Fighting Muskies: After taking home the OAC coach of the year in 2009, 2010
wasn't the season Al Logan was searching for. The Muskies are going to be searching for a new QB
before the 2011 season starts. Jake Burns, the talented left-handed QB, graduated from Muskingum as
the all time career leader in passing and total offense. Either sophomore Dalton Smith or junior Seth
Howard, who helped the Fish win their opening game last year against Defiance, will win the spot over.
A good sign for the Muskies is that they get Palmer Smith (4.9 yards per carry) back who missed the
2010 season with an injury. The defense, which ranked fifth last year in total defense, will have to be the
focal point of the team until the offense figures itself out.
Marietta College Pioneers: Last season the Pioneers were in almost every game they played, yet only
managed to win two games. They had six games decided by 14 points or less including three, seven, and
eight point losses. 2011 could be a breakout season for the navy blue and white though. The offense will
operate through three-year starter Andrew Keller (1,891 yards, 9 TDs) who earned All-OAC honorable
mention last season. Gone are All-OAC first team Adam Tate and one of the best WRs in MC history in
Cory Kriechbaum. Also gone from the wide-out position is senior Jahmaal Jones who switched positions
to the secondary. However most of the linebackers and defensive line are back that helped the Pios stay
in game after game in 2010. They also will play six games at the newly renovated Don Drumm Stadium
which Coach Filkovski described as "The best I've ever seen for a small school." The sky truly is the limit
for this team, and 2011 could easily be the best in the four years Coach Filkovski has been there. Keller
had a pretty good mindset on the upcoming season when he said " I want to go out with something that
Marietta will remember for a long time."
Wilmington College Quakers: First year head coach Ken Minor did the best he could in 2010, but taking
over a smaller school program in the OAC is not an easy task. Like the Pioneers, the Quakers were in a
handful of games, including a 3-0 loss to Muskingum, but could never get that first victory for Minor.
The Quakers do have some pieces in place, including hometown product sophomore QB Brandon
Arehart who threw for over 1,400 yards in his first year. Taking charge besides Arehart on offense will be
senior fullback Brett McEvory who has been a staple on the blocking end for the Quakers when running
the ball. Will the success Minor has had at the High School level, he should be able to pick up his first
collegiate victory in 2011.

World renowned for his fashion design, it's less well known that Karl Lagerfeld has pursued a passion for photography since 1987. In fact, his work has been shown in international exhibitions from the Langen Foundation in Neuss, to the Museum del Bramante Cloister in Rome.
More recently, Lagerfeld visited Rolls-Royce to present a photography exhibition, entitled 'A Different View'. The exhibition comprised his own photographs of Rolls-Royce cars and was shown to private guests at the Rolls-Royce HQ in Goodwood, England.
The exhibition formed part of the company's Icons of Art series. It has included a series of talks by contemporary artists in tribute to the artistry behind each Rolls-Royce.
Lagerfeld's work explored his fascination with textures, surfaces, shapes and abstractions that transcend his position in the fashion world. "I can no longer view life without juxtaposing its abstraction. I view the world, fashion and automobiles through my camera lens. That allows me to keep a critical distance to my work. This approach serves me more than I had ever thought possible in my view of reality. Each of my shots of the Rolls-Royce is the abstract representation of a concrete reality. The technical medium of photography is a welcome means for my artistic work, creating my different view," Lagerfeld said.
Previous Icons of Art include John Zinsser, Marie-Jo Lafontaine and Isaac Julien. The series concludes in December at Art Basel Miami.

Lake Austin is the place to catch giant bass right now
It's not known as the most popular bass fishing lake in Texas, but truth be known, Lake Austin is an up-and-coming star when it comes to producing 13-pound-plus largemouth bass.
"Lake Austin continued to solidify its ranking as one of the best trophy bass lakes in Texas with Toyota ShareLunker 548, caught March 27 by Round Rock angler Colin Pack while fishing in a tournament," said Larry Hodge with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Hodge reports that Pack caught the fish in 10 feet of water using a Carolina rig while fishing in hydrilla.
"The bass weighed 13.29 pounds and was 26.75 inches long and 20 inches in girth," said Hodge. "It will be held at the A.E. Wood State Fish Hatchery in San Marcos until the results of DNA testing are known. If the fish is pure Florida largemouth bass, it will be moved to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens for spawning.
Lake Austin is on the Colorado River in Austin. It covers 1,599 acres and was impounded in 1939. It contains an excellent population of largemouths. Many bass weighing 8 to 10 pounds are caught each year. The reservoir also has some good quality bluegill, red-breast, and red-ear fishing, and has fair numbers of flathead and blue catfish. Fishing during the spring and summer months is best done at night due to heavy recreational boating activity in the daytime.
The lake record weighed a whopping 16.03 pounds and was caught on Jan. 27, 2011.
Lake Austin contains abundant submerged vegetation like water milfoil and hydrilla. Cover is also provided by the many boat docks that line the shore of the lake. Several major creeks enter the lake including Bee Creek near the Tom Miller Dam and Bull Creek near the Loop 360 bridge crossing.
Here's the impressive part – Lake Austin has now produced 19 largemouth bass that have been entered into the ShareLunker program. It trails Lake Fork, with 253 entries; Lakes Alan Henry and O. H. Ivie, with 25 each; Sam Rayburn with 23; and Falcon with 20. Lake Conroe has 16 entries and Choke Canyon 13.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between Oct. 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling the ShareLunker hotline at (903) 681-0550 or paging (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
New regs set by TPWD on
redfish and catfish
TPWD has adopted fishing regulations that center on redfish and catfish. The regulations go into effect Sept. 1.
TPWD clarified the definition of fish harassment to note that it is unlawful to use any vessel to harry, herd or drive fish by any means including but not limited to operating any vessel in a repeated circular course for the purpose of or resulting in the concentration of fish for the purpose of taking or attempting to take fish.
TPWD also removed prohibitions concerning possession of red drum and bonus red drum tags simultaneously.
"The department also adopted provisions regarding enforcement of federal regulations in state waters," said Mike Cox. "The proposed change would make it a violation for a person to possess an aquatic wildlife resource taken in the Exclusive Economic Zone (federal waters 9-200 miles out) during a closed season provided by federal law; within a protected length limit or in excess of the daily bag limit established by federal law; or with any gear or device prohibited by federal law; or without a required license or permit required by federal law."
In regards to catfish, TPWD adopted changes defining the parameters of hand fishing for catfish and restrictions to aid in public understanding and enforceability, specifically regarding prohibition of the use of devices such as poles, sticks, boxes and pipes to aid in hand fishing.
The department also clarified the definition regarding possession of fish to indicate possession limits do not apply once a wildlife resource has reached the possessor's final residence and is finally processed.
Whooping cranes begin migration back to nesting grounds
Heralding an early start to spring, whooping cranes began breaking camp at wintering grounds in Texas sooner than usual and are making their way back north.
Some of those "non-traditional" whooping cranes also broke with migration tradition this year.
"Normally, whooping crane spring migration begins in late March, with nearly all birds departing for the nesting grounds in Canada by mid-April," said Lee Ann Johnson Linam, a wildlife diversity biologist with TPWD. "However, a U.S. Geological Survey radio-tracking study and observations by volunteers with Texas Whooper Watch detected an earlier start to migration this year."
Whoopers usually follow a migratory path through North and Central Texas that includes cities such as Victoria, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth and Wichita Falls. During migration they often pause overnight to use wetlands for roosting and agricultural fields for feeding, but seldom remain more than one night. They nearly always migrate in small groups of fewer than 8 birds, but they may be seen roosting and feeding with large flocks of the smaller sandhill crane. They are the tallest birds in North America, standing nearly 5 feet tall. They are solid white in color except for black wingtips that are visible only in flight. They fly with necks and legs outstretched.

Yep. Looks that way, Flight AA11, UA175 as well as Egyptair 990.
Who is this Pete Zalewski? Maybe the question should be who WAS he? Followed by another, what was he? How long had he been ATC prior to 9/11 and how long afterwards was he an ATC?
Perhaps he came from the same spook pool as that guy with the Harley emblazoned sweat shirt and BB cap who explained on the day how the WTC fell '...mostly due to structural failure because the fires were just too intense.'

Yes. Pete Zalewsi was Responsible for AA11, UA 175 and for Egyptair 900 in '99...
I am wondering, why he isn't mentioned here more frequently.

A Pete Zelowski who claimed to be a has a letter WRT a medical complaint posted here:
My name is Pete Zalewski, I was a Special Operations Intelligence Officer during the Gulf War and I believe I may have contracted the Mycoplasma you suspect maybe-causing problems in some veterans.
This might be an explaination, Pete. But it doesn't work as an excuse.
My symptoms over the past two years included a constant sore throat (with cobblestoning), night sweats, shortness of breath, dizziness, joint pain, short term memory loss, headaches, double vision, diarrhea, and other bowl problems, skin inflammations and severe moderate fatigue. My whole immune system seemed effected.
See, Pete, is there any poetic justice?.
...Putting that together with the matching symptoms (I even noticed, like Darrell, that flying in aircraft and dealing with pressure/altitude changes makes it very likely that the symptoms will occur),
Doesn't sound as if Flight Controller is the aprropriate job then.
the efficacy of particular antibiotic treatment, and the fact that I had frequent contact with all sorts of suspect things (SCUD missile parts, Iraqi prisoners, etc.)
Yep. SCUD missles and Iraqi prisoners. (Sic!)
I saw too many pieces fitting together to treat this all as mere coincidence.

cooperative research with great links to original news articles about peter:
9/11 commission's referrences to "peter zalewski":
65. FAA audio file, Boston Center, position 46R, 8:24:38 and 8:24:56; Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003).
106. Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 22, 2003);
107. DOD radar files, 84th Radar Evaluation Squadron, "9/11 Autoplay," undated; Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 22, 2003);
108. Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 22, 2003);
109. FAA memo,"Full Transcript;Aircraft Accident;AAL11; New York, NY; September 11, 2001," Feb. 15, 2002, p. 11; Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003). 110. Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003);
actual sections from their report:
FAA air traffic controller Peter Zalewski, stationed at the Boston Air Route Traffic
Control Center (Boston Center) radioed directional instructions: "American 11 turn
twenty degrees right." Flight 11 replied: "twenty right American 11." This was the last
routine communication received from the flight. Seconds later, air traffic control radioed
Flight 11 again, this time instructing the aircraft to climb to 35,000 feet. The flight did
not respond. Over the next ten minutes, air traffic control tried nine times to contact the
flight. All attempts were unsuccessful. 47
(47 NTSB report, Air Traffic Control Recording-American Airlines Flight 11, Dec. 21, 2001;'FAA report,
Aircraft Accident File ZBW-ARTCC-148, Feb. 15, 2002)
Shortly before 8:25 A.M., air traffic controller Zalewski heard two clicks over the
frequency assigned to the flight, and radioed in response, "Is that American eleven trying
to call?" Five seconds later, a voice with a foreign accent addressed the passengers. "We
have some planes. Just stay quiet and you'll be okay. We're returning to the airport." 65
(65. FAA audio file, Boston Center, position 46R, 8:24:38 and 8:24:56; Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003)
Because the wrong button was pushed, this message was heard not by the passengers but
by air traffic control. The controller did not comprehend the first sentence ("planes"); it
was understood 30 minutes later after a facility manager was able to locate and replay the
tape. (See 9:03 A.M. entry below.)
(At about 9:03 A.M., Boston Center reported to the FAA's New England regional office
that the hijackers stated, "We have some planes" during the 8:25 A.M. transmission from
Flight 11 - 106)
(106 Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003.)
Seconds later, Boston Center heard the following transmission from the same foreign
voice: "Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll
endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet." 66
(66 - FAA memo -F'Full Transcript; Aircraft Accident; AAL l1;NewYork, NY; Septemberi 11,-20.01,"1' Feb.. - :. -
- 5, 2002. p.-11; Peter Zalewski interview (Sept 23, 2003).
According to Ong's simultaneous reporting, no announcements had been made from the cockpit to
the passengers. This suggests that the hijackers' announcements were not heard in the cabin, and
that they did not know how to operate the radio properly.
8:25 A.M. After hearing the second transmission from the aircraft, controllers at Boston
Center believed that Flight 11 had been hijacked.67
(67 Peter Zalewski interview (Sept. 23, 2003); John Schippani interview (Sept 22, 2003)
Also at 8:25 A.M., an American Airlines air traffic control (ATC) specialist at the SOC
sent another ACARS message to Flight 11: "Plz contact Boston Center ASAP.. .They
have lost radio contact and your transponder signal." Again, the aircraft did not respond
to this or subsequent ACARS messages attempting to reestablish contact with the
(68 American Airlines record, Dispatch Environmental Control/Weekly Flight Summary for Flight 11, Sept
l 1, 2001)
the rest of the commish's "peter zalewski" referrences:
107 AAL transcript, telephone call from AAL system operations control to FAA Air Traffic Control
System Command Center, Sept. 11, 2001.
108 Boston Center was reporting information it had received from an FAA headquarters teleconference.
NEADS audio file, Identification Technician position, Channel 7, at 9:21:10.
109 The report of Flight 11 heading south - the cause of the Langley scramble - is reflected not just in
taped conversations at NEADS, but in taped conversations at various FAA centers, on NORAD's instant
messaging system, and on taped conversations of the Pentagon-convened "significant event" (which
transitioned to an "air threat") conference call. The report was also readily acknowledged in Commission
interviews of operational personnel in FAA and NORAD. Nonetheless, it is not recounted in a single
public timeline or statement issued by the FAA or the Department of Defense. Instead, the scramble at
Langley was publicly attributed to the reported hijacking of Flight 77, Flight 93, or some combination of
the two.

Cheap Shot at JFER claims to know him personally but spells his name differently:
single post:
"I am new to these posts, so by looking at spitfire's last comment (picture) I assume this has been gone over before, sorry for getting involved in that one. Good posts reference Pete Zyleski, good friend of mine went to the academy together, he retired back in March I beleive. I'll look forward to some new stuff on the threads."
rest of thread:
another referrence to him:
single post:
That is when Pete Zyleski slid back in his chair and calimed he had a hijack. I think Atta had said something before that but Pete couldn't recognize what he said, I beleive put it in speaker either after the first transmission or the second. Anyway Pete claimed he had a hijack and the supervisor questioned him twice on the matter asking if he really had one or not. Pete's respones was F _ _ _ You John, I know a hijack when I hear one.
rest of the above thread:
another referrence:
single post:
Still can't ever remember aircraft being scrambled for an emergency except Payne Stewart. We wouldn't have scrambled until the aircraft was considered hiajcked. If Mohammed Atta never spoke on frquency, then yes eventually we would have interpreted it as a hijack. I can't say when because each controller is different. I would assume in about five minutes from the turn, that being the most unexpected event.
Even then who knows, as it was when Peter Zyleski stated it to the supervisor the supervisor questioned him "do you really think its a hijack" Pete replied with "F#$% Y%$".
rest of thread:
that spelling of the name - "Zyleski" - only brings up cheapshot's posts:
Cheap Shot's background:
"This is a Q&A with a Boston Center Air Traffic Controller, who was on duty on the day of 9/11. This story highlights the experiences, the emotions, the frustration and the courage of a man, who all of a sudden found himself in the midst of the biggest terrorist attack in US history. In this story we refer to him as "Cheap Shot", but I have verified his real identity. These are his views, and do not represent the views of any group or organization.
Final release date: October 28, 2007"
Q: First of all, could you briefly introduce yourself and tell about your work experience.
Cheap Shot: I am a controller at Boston Center, have been since 1982. In 1989 I did two years in the Airspace and Procedures office at Boston Center. In 1991 I returned to the Airspace Office on a permanent basis. In 1995 we restructured at the Center and I also assumed the Military Liaison or Military Specialist Position along with my Airspace Duties.
As the military specialist I am responsible for all military procedures between Boston Center and the military units in my airspace, and any visiting military units that participate in any of our Special Use Airspace (SUA). Through the years I have developed a pretty good working relationship with those units. One of the main units I deal with is the Northeastern Air Defense Sector (NEADS). They schedule the majority of SUA in Boston Center Airspace.

zalewski is a ghost online. outside of the 9/11 referrences, i havent found any information on him. searches at http://www.natca.org/ and http://www.atca.org/ show no results for him.
also missing, is any info linking him to the Egypt Air crash. i hate to disappoint anyone, but if im not mistaken, Peter Zalweski of 9/11 was working the Boston ATC center, while the record shows egypt air was in contact with New York's ATC before its crash:
U.S. Air Traffic Controllers provide trans-Atlantic flight control operations as a part of the "New York Center" (referred to in radio conversations simply as "Center" and abbreviated in the reports as "ZNY"). The airspace is divided into "areas", and "Area F" was the section that oversaw the airspace through which Flight 990 was flying. Trans-Atlantic commercial air traffic travels via a system of routes called North Atlantic Tracks, and Flight 990 was the only aircraft at the time assigned to fly North Atlantic Track Zulu. There are also a number of military operations areas over the Atlantic, called "Warning Areas", which are also monitored by New York Center, but records show that these were inactive the night of the accident.[5]
Interaction between ZNY and Flight 990 was completely routine. After takeoff, Flight 990 was handled by three different controllers as it climbed up in stages to its assigned cruising altitude.[5] The aircraft, like all commercial airliners, was equipped with a Mode C transponder, which automatically reported the plane's altitude when queried by the ATC radar. At 1:44, the transponder indicated that Flight 990 had leveled off at FL330. Three minutes later, the controller requested that Flight 990 switch communications radio frequencies for better reception. A pilot on Flight 990 acknowledged on the new frequency. This was the last transmission received from Flight 990.
more specific info on the ATC aspect of the 990 crash:
atc transcript:
karl is there an index of sources for the video (are any mentioned in the video)? it would be helpful to find out where they got the information that connects Zalewski to Egypt 990. im not saying its claim about zalewski/990 is not true, but so far i havent been able to corroborate it.
by the way - thanks karl for posting the video...
just to be clear, egyptair crashed in late oct 1999, 2 years prior to 9/11. so there is every possibility that Zalewski may have worked in NY in 99 and Boston in 2001, nothing rules this out. it just awaits confirmation (somehow)...

Excellent work, paranoia!
It's obvious, that Zalewski's roll was to help staging the 'hijacking'.
I'll move this thread to 'American 11' Subforum later and PM our librarian.

anytime Zap!
after reading thru the ATC transcript for the Egypt Air crash, i have a question for any aviation professionals in da house:
how common is or isnt it to have an UNKNOWN craft transmitting? not to go off topic too far if it is indeed a common occurrence, but if it is NOT, please elaborate on how. thank you.
not long ago i was looking into u93 and the cleveland "rumors" about NASA's center adjacent/attached to the airport there, when i came upon a fairly obscure tidbit related to the Egypt Air 990 crash:
Dr. Richard Spohn Brokaw, former head of the Division of Physics and Chemistry at NASA Lewis in Ohio (now renamed the "NASA Glenn Research Center"), was a passenger along with his wife. Officially retired from NASA in 1973, Brokaw was part of a tour group on board the ill fated flight. (Reference 1)
The Boston Herald
Copyright 1999 Boston Herald Inc.
November 11, 1999 Thursday
HEADLINE: Obituary; Richard Spohn Brokaw, physical chemist, at 76
Richard Spohn Brokaw of Strafford, Vt., a renowned physical chemist, died Oct. 31 as a passenger aboard EgyptAir Flight 990 that crashed off Nantucket en route to Cairo, Egypt. He was 76.
His wife, Virginia Chaplin, also died in the crash.
Born in East Orange, N.J., Mr. Brokaw graduated from the Putney School and later from Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa., with honors in chemistry.
After the war, Mr. Brokaw obtained a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Princeton University. He worked for NASA at the Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where he specialized in combustion research and the physical chemistry of high temperature gases.

EA990 is another one of those aircraft catastrophes which i consider the murder of many to camouflage the murder of a few.
as i think i have mentioned many times, airliner catastrophes are very convenient mechanisms to hide murder. from my analysis over the years, i call the arrow air "accident" in gander, pa103, twa800, aa587, as261, ea990, sr111 as murders disguised as catastrophes.
there are many aspects of ea990 that seemed to go unreported. such as, why did that aircraft take 2+ hours longer than normal to transit conus. there are reports that it stopped at edwards afb to pick up a coterie of egyptian general officers.
but i think we shall never know that. correct me if i am mistaken, but isn't it true that the records of the flight of this aircraft have been sequestered by the state?
i also think that there was a spook on this flight that exited at jfk. quite candidly, i think that this spook[on mossad's payroll?] placed an explosive device on this plane prior to his departure. but i could be wrong.
on the other hand, perhaps hosni mubarak was content to see these general officers go. perhaps he recognized them as potential coupsters.
all i know for sure is this, no journalists[sic] cared to focus on investigating these catastrophes. and neither did dick collins.
but as many of us have concluded, aopa is a corporate aviation lobbying entity today, cloaked as a genav organization.
aopa will not be ruffling any corporate, state feathers.

albert i havent much familiarity with the EA990 crash for i have only researched it tonight for the first time. if you could send me some links that you found informative, i would be much obliged.
i also think that there was a spook on this flight that exited at jfk. quite candidly, i think that this spook[on mossad's payroll?] placed an explosive device on this plane prior to his departure. but i could be wrong.
did you notice that an El Al flight was also in the air at the time? i would be over-stepping the usual research boundaries by stating so, but maybe there was a direct connection. i cant really say how any El Al flight could directly play a part in any sabotage, but i did find its presence to be (at least) "interesting".
but one can not rule out the mossad as possible suspects (regardless of the El Al flight), given the nature of the their adverserial relationship with egypt. but you are right that detailed information (of a "sensitive nature") about the 990 flight is probably highly guarded/classified or otherwise unavailable, so we wont be able to confrim or prove any possible suspicions.

btw - at the moment i am busy watching an NBC dateline special online, that tells 911 from an ATC point of view. there are 5 vids there that i recommend watching:
look for this box:
the interview with Pete Zalewski starts around 3:33 of the first video.
this screencap is from the second video:
(Pete Zalewski)
also on that NBC page is the following transcript:
8:14 am.: 14 minutes since take-off
American 11 is headed up to its cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, but not before Zalewski radios the pilot a routine order to turn, to keep enough space between American 11 and another plane.
Zalewski: I turn him to 20 degrees right, he took the turn. I then told American 11, Climb and maintain flight level three-five-zero, 35,000 feet. There was no response.
A moment of concern perhaps, but that was not uncommon.
Zalewski: At that point, I was just thinking that it was, you know, maybe the pilots werent paying attention, or theres something wrong with the frequency.
Zalewski followed procedures, continuing to try to raise American 11 on the frequency.
Zalewski: And at first, it was pretty much, you know, American 11, you know, Are you paying attention? Are you listening? And there was still no response. I used the emergency frequency to try and get a hold of him through that. There was no response.
By now Zalewski is running a mental checklist, trying to account for the loss of communication a technical problem or maybe a mistake on the pilots part?
Zalewski: I went back the previous sector to see if the pilot had accidentally flipped the switch back over on the radio. At that point there was still nothing. We werent hearing from him.
American 11 was NORDOno radio contact. Zalewski stepped up his efforts.
Zalewski: I would go on to call that aircraft 12 times.
And as it went on, I begin to get more concerned.
so check it out.

by the way - thanks karl for posting the video...
The Credits before the end of the video show the usual suspects,
one of them is "pilotsfor911truth.org"...
The historian, Mr Hauß, stated, that it was later reported by another
ATC that Zalewski was responsible for the flight route of EA990.
He didn't mention the name of the man.
Video, source and filmmakers site are posted in this Multimedia-thread

but are either of the 2 above the same boston ATC peter? i lean in favor of probably not.
Now I am inclined to agree. Particularly as, in the pic's available he does not look old enough to be a first Gulf War vet.
However it was the very lack of information on him, as you indicated with your 'ghost' referrence, that prompted me to enquire so as to learn if others had more on him.
The ATC dialogue WRT Pete Zalewski isn't the only jarring note with ATC dialogue that day.

Great job Paranoia, on the research!
EA990 has always been mysterious, and I agree that it and TWA800 were probably taken down as a way to execute somebody. If there is ever a book written them, the passenger lists must be important somehow.

Thanks for that link, gid!
WTF are these guys talking about?
Although, they report precisely every minute,
they anly talk about lost radio contact and lost transmitter signals
and how they turned over the plane to another controller, about thinking
what this could mean, about the highjacker's "mistakes" of transmitting
radio to the control center instead of into the cabin and switching on UA175's
transponder briefly... and so on. -
But not a word, not even the mentioning of the idea, of contacting NORAD
in the first 4o minutes or so of the obvious highjacking. Not a word.
And the moderator of the show doesn't even try to implicate that
this should be a standart procedere.
not very astonished: Carl

-first off, sorry Carl for misspelling your name in my earlier post. (i promise it wont happen again )
-second, i just wanted to mention (carl, omega) i'm not trying to prove anyone wrong, i hope i didnt come across that way. i always welcome your research/deductions, as i hope you do mine. my only aim was to assign some probability (based on my own deductions) to the possibilities that were presented.
regarding Zalewski's "ghost status": part of the problem (imo) is the spelling of his name. there are at least 5 variations of how to spell it, and im not sure NBC got it right (possibly intentionally). i have in fact tried every spelling i could think of, but run into either too many referrences for a particular spelling, or very few. i am certain he has to exist on the net somewhere, but havent yet figured out the proper search terms for a successful query.
i wanted to add, and maybe this is common knowledge for you aviation guys, but i had no clue that Boston ARTCC is actually in New Hampshire, not in Boston! i had been looking for Zalewski in Massachusets, when he could have been in NH. but the Boston ARTCC (in Nashua NH) is located less than 50 miles from Boston, so perhaps with a long commute, Peter could have still lived in Massachusets, so who knows? none the less, i still havent found him, but wanted to make that distinction (about Boston ARTCC vs. Logan Airport's Boston control tower) for some of the other laymen who were unaware of it.
now regarding the Egypt Air allegation about Zalewski, i found 2 original sources for that information:
09/14/2001 - Updated 08:58 AM ET
FAA employee: Hijacked jets almost collided
NASHUA, N.H. (AP) The two hijacked jets that demolished the World Trade Center nearly crashed into each other while heading to their target, according to a Federal Aviation Administration employee at a regional control center. "The two aircraft got too close to each other down by Stewart" International Airport in New Windsor, N.Y., about 55 miles north of New York City, the employee told The Telegraph of Nashua. It wasn't clear how close they got after they left Boston 15 minutes apart Tuesday morning, both headed for Los Angeles. Hijackers gained control of American Airlines Flight 11 around Gardner, Mass., said the employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Gardner is about 45 miles northwest of Boston."
Many controllers also watched events unfold on the Nashua control center's television, but never expected Flight 175 to hit the second World Trade Center tower because of that sustained contact with the crew, the employee said.
"After the first plane hit, nobody imagined it would happen again," the employee said. "We all thought that was it. It totally caught everybody off guard.
"It's not in anyone's mind they're hitting a target," the employee said. "When somebody takes a plane over, they try to negotiate a release with money."
One air traffic controller with the help of an assistant monitored the two Boeing 767s that toppled the World Trade Center, the employee said.
The same controller handled Egypt Air Flight 990 when it crashed off the coast of Massachusetts in 1999, the employee said. The controller is "pretty disturbed" that he lost both planes, the employee said.
Thursday, September 13, 2001 an earlier source (slightly different text) for the above, from a new hampshire publication:
The two hijacked jets that sliced into the World Trade Center nearly crashed into each other before reaching New York City, according to a Federal Aviation Administration employee who works in the Nashua control facility.
FAA air traffic controllers in Nashua have learned through discussions with other controllers that an F-16 fighter stayed in hot pursuit of another hijacked commercial airliner until it crashed in Pennsylvania, said the employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The center is one of 20 FAA facilities that monitor long-distance flights once they leave airports.
The morning's surreal moments included a controller, who had just arrived for work, discovering that his wife's American Airline flight was involved in the day of terror, the employee said.
One air traffic controller - with the help of an assistant - monitored the flight patterns of the two jets that toppled the World Trade Center, the employee said. He directed American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 - both Boeing 767 jets that had Boston to Los Angeles routes, the employee said.
The same controller handled Egypt Air Flight 990 when it crashed off the coast of Massachusetts in 1999, the employee said. Hijackers gained control of American Airlines Flight 11 around Gardner, Mass., the employee said. "American was just flying around, doing what it wanted," the employee said of the jet's approach to New York.
so i guess (with a fair amount of certainty) that Hauss and Co. (makers of the german documentary) deduced that Zalewski was the guy referrenced by the anonymous source (above) as the Egypt Air controller, based on the eventually public-knowledge that Zalewski was the controller who handled the "hijacked" 9/11 flights.
i did some digging into the NTSB's info on the Egypt Air crash, and found that there was no Zalweski working the ATC that day:
FAClLlTY ACCIDENT/INCIDENT NOTIFICATION RECORD (names and phone numbers):
Daily Record of Facility Operation:
the above are fairly detailed records of the events and seem to include names and or referrences to the ATC personnel who were present and involved in the events as related to EA990. there is a "Yesinowski" in the control tower at ZNY that day, so its possible the anonymous source may have made an unintentional error. or he/she intentionally sensationalized the info he/she revealed to the media, but i cant really fathom why.
there is of course, always the chance that the NTSB's EA990 exhibit for whatever reason, is inaccurate, so it is not conclusive. as a result i looked for some sort of way to contact any of the names mentioned as being in the ATC tower when EA990 crashed. the best i could come up with was an obituary page for the Supervisor, Mr.Gordon Lee Biggio (whose name appears in the above NTSB links).
in the online guestbook for his obituary, the guest's posts identify him as a ZNY controller, AND ALSO includes some possible people to contact):
"I am so sorry to hear about Lee's passing. I worked with him for over 30 years, he in Area 'D' and myself in Area 'C'. He was a class guy and a pretty good ballplayer, not quite as good as Craig. My deepest sympathy to his entire family. Arthur Galvin (Centereach, NY)"
I worked with your Dad since 1984 and he became one of my most dearest friends; I thought the world of him and please know he will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to you,his children and grandchildren, you were truly his pride and joy. Sue Manaseri (Smithtown, NY)
on that page is an easy link button where you can attempt to contact the above people, so if anyone is interested, it might be worth a shot to see if any of them can confirm Zalewski as having been present at ZNY (new york) when EA990 crashed.
so not to take anything away from the german documentary for i found it to be concise, well-paced, and informative, but to make it full-proof, they may want to reconsider that one claim about Zalewski and EA990.

China in Copenhagen, Days 6-8: Who's REDI for Action?
By Angel Hsu and Luke Bassett, part of 'Team China' tracking the Chinese delegation a the Copenhagen climate negotiations. These posts are originally being featured on Green Leap Forward and also cross-posted on Climateprogress.org and the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy blog.
Our fingers have finally thawed out after waiting two hours outside the Bella Center (can you spot us in the picture to the right?)- the nexus of COP activity, so that we are be able to bring you the latest updates on China in Copenhagen. The weekend proved slow for the COP, owing much to the distraction provided by an estimated 25,000 protesters who took to the streets of Copenhagen to demand a fair and urgent climate deal. (see an excellent video and pictures at Dot Earth).
The protests didn't prove to be too much of a distraction, however, as lead Chinese climate negotiator Su Wei said during a press briefing on Saturday that he wasn't aware of them and was rather ambivalent about their role in the negotiation process. Saying it was a "matter of opinion" as to whether such demonstrations were constructive or destructive, Mr. Su just hoped that delegates would be able to get into the venue so that they could work "25 hours a day" to guarantee an agreement by the end of this week.
Indeed, Mr. Su was correct in saying that the tens of thousands of protesters are probably the least of concerns for negotiators, as a consensus on certain key issues seems to be evasive still. With the impending arrival of 110 heads of states to participate in the ministerial summit at the end of the week on Dec. 17-18, there are still significant issues on the table. Two major updates we'll touch on in this post reflect the pressure and the promise of the negotiations as the end of COP rapidly approaches:
1. African "disappointment"
Talks here in Copenhagen threatened to halt today when the African Group, comprised of 53 African nations, walked out of negotiations. We are not too disturbed ourselves, however, as this is all part of the usual "COP-drama," where year after year, some negotiating group or another walks out or threatens to do so.
Kamel Djemouai, a delegate from Algeria and chair of the African Group, said during a press conference this morning that they are, "definitely, completely disappointed," with the COP-15 President, the UNFCCC Secretariat, and all developed countries who moved to collapse negotiations for the AWG-KP and AWG-LCA (the two working groups for the Kyoto Protocol and Long-term Cooperative Agreement) into one track. Despite the attempts of Connie Hedegaard, COP-15 President, to draft a list of concerns with the move to focus on the LCA track, the African Group noted that not all concerns had been listed and that such a shift may mean "signing the death of the Kyoto Protocol."
The African nations stressed "killing the Kyoto Protocol" means losing the only "legally binding instrument that is functioning." They fear that the tight timeline for rest of the negotiations will mean the clock will run out for discussions on the KP. Along with the Africa Group, China has strongly supported the two-track process for the negotiations so that the KP might persist and commit developed countries to a second commitment period. Developed countries-most notably Australia-do not want to continue the KP because it doesn't include major emitters like the United States and China.
Fifty African nations have also proposed their own text, which asks for $400 billion dollars from developed countries from 2010-2012 (despite the UN's estimates that only $30 billion over three years is needed) and steep emission cuts of 50 percent by 2017 compared to 1990 levels – the most in any proposal we've seen in COP to date. Because we (or anyone we asked, for that matter) were unable to track down a copy of the text, it is unclear at this point whether the text, even if it materializes, will have an impact at this point given its strong demands.
On another note, Tuvalu's proposal to establish a contact group for its suggested amendment to the KP, has been officially quashed, despite Tuvalu's chief climate negotiator Ian Fry's tearful plea for developed countries to commit to stringent reduction targets.
China's chief climate change official and head of the Chinese delegation Xie Zhenhua said during a press briefing this afternoon open only to Chinese media that they supported this move by the G-77 and other developing countries for "removing obstacles and speeding up work on amending the Kyoto Protocol." (While Minister Xie's address was originally open to the public, an e-mail sent around noon abruptly canceled the event. Only later when we checked up to find out if the cancellation had anything to do with the Africa Group's walk-out earlier were we told that the event was indeed still on but only open to Chinese media, for which Minister Xie had a "special announcement and communication" for domestic audiences.)
Minister Xie also said he favored the first installment of funding going to the African, small islands, and least developed countries that most need the financing, however not disqualifying China as a potential recipient. An article from Financial Times yesterday jumped the gun when it concluded that China "had abandoned its demand for funding from the developed world to combat climate change, the first apparent concession by one of the major players at the Copenhagen climate talks." Indeed, the Chinese negotiators, especially Minister He Yafei in our observation, have been very careful and performed an intricate dance around this issue. China knows that the most vulnerable countries, such as the small island countries, should get priority for international funding, but China has not counted itself out of contention for funds in the long run, when $10 billion per year in aid grows to $100 billion per year.
Which brings us to our next update …
2. Who's REDI for clean tech?
The United States made a splash today with Energy Secretary Steven Chu's (pictured right) announcement of an international plan to deploy clean technology globally (with a strong emphasis on developing countries)-the Climate Renewables and Efficiency Deployment Initiative (Climate REDI) will include three clean technology programs focusing on solar and LED lighting, efficient appliances and equipment, and policy and technical support for countries planning for renewable energy. The funding for Climate REDI–$350 million in total over five years–comes from funds previously pledged by the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland, Australia, Italy, the United States and others (the U.S. share is $85 million). The initiative aims to make energy-saving technology that already exists cheap enough to penetrate markets in India, parts of Africa and elsewhere.
The program also develops Technology Action Plans (TAPs) which share information among MEF members about high-priority clean technologies like solar and wind energy in order to accelerate their development and deployment. The TAPs address over 80% of the energy sector emissions reduction potential identified by the IEA. With these efforts, the United States has made clear its intentions to partner with its peers to develop and deploy clean energy technologies quickly and broadly, but both the Climate REDI and TAP programs lack clarity as to who will receive and benefit from these technologies.
Nearly all MEF members have taken leadership roles on the TAPs, from France with marine energy to Brazil and Italy with bioenergy, but China numbers among those countries not serving in this role. While the Climate REDI program does not omit China from consideration, its absence from a leadership role is noteworthy. Particularly in light of the sharp ping-pong between US climate change envoy Todd Stern and Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs He Yafei, we wondered if this was yet another financing deal in which China was going to be the last kid picked during a kickball game.
However, during a speech today in the US Center at Copenhagen, Secretary Chu addressed this point by highlighting the recent deal Presidents Obama and Hu reached in November. According to Secretary Chu, this bilateral partnership would focus on building efficiency, clean vehicles, and clean coal. He then went on to say that China and the U.S. "have to aggressively share expert information on many of these technologies," stressing that this could be accomplished partly through intellectual property rights, joint creation and ownership of technologies, and transfer of "know-how" that goes both ways. Secretary Chu's statements suggest a special, heightened relationship between the U.S. and China that move beyond a typical tech transfer model between developed and developing countries in which technologies, capacity building, and funding normally flow one-way.
Things are getting hairy in the Bella Center. Look at the queue outside the Bella Center this morning!!! Starting tomorrow, secondary passes will be required for all observer (e.g. non-governmental) participants to limit the number of civil society members to 7,000 for Tuesday and Wednesday. Beginning Thursday, this number will be reduced to 1,000 and finally to 90 on Friday. Already, this news has outraged the tens of thousands of non-government participants in the COP, who have already sent a letter of petition to Connie Hedegaard, President of COP 15, and Yvo de Boer, UNFCCC Secretariat, demanding more transparency in the process. Fingers are crossed that Team China will still be given access to the Bella Center, so we can continue to bring you all the action direct from Copenhagen.

If you're not using Evernote, you need to get on that. Now that I've said my piece, the handy little Hello app for iPhone and now Android helps users remember the when, where, and why of meeting contacts.
Sure, we still need business cards, simply because people have been trained to ask for them. A cool little app I use for those times when I don't have my cards on me (which is most of the time) is called Hello. It's an app that not only lets users save and sync contact information in Evernote, but also adds context to the people you've met and helps you remember them if you ever meet them again.
After you have connected the app to Evernote and completed your profile, adding contacts is as simple as entering their info (name, phone email, & Twitter handle). Hello can also append the day, date current location, and notes to the new contact entry to help you remember. Another nicer (or lazier) option is the app gives you option of handing the phone over to your contact so they can enter the info themselves.
In addition to releasing an Android app, new Hello features include:
- Build even richer contact profiles by connecting Hello to LinkedIn
- Hello uses other functionalities (upcoming calendar events, recent calls,or text messages) on your phone to intelligently predict who you are about to meet.
- Opt to send a new Hello contact your profile in return via email
After you've compiled all of their information and included a snapshot, your mosaic start screen will be filled with beautiful people that you can quickly thumb through if you can't quite remember if you know that person standing across the room.
So if you're tired of blank-staring a business card wondering "why did I accept this again?" Or, meeting someone again…for the first time with that awkward "Hey….you" look on your face, check out Evernote Blog for more information, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
