Busy air traffic controllers keep eyes on skies
It happened too quickly to stop but slowly enough for onlookers to watch. Two Cessna planes collided in mid-flight while approaching Corona (Calif.) Municipal Airport on Jan. 20 as dozens of observers watched helplessly. Within a matter of seconds, five people were dead, including one on the ground. It’s a terrifying thought — your plane crashing into another in mid-flight — but last month’s mid-air collision in Corona makes clear the real possibilities of such accidents occuring. In fact, there has been an average of 30 mid-air collisions each year in the U.S. since 1978, resulting in an average of 75 deaths per year, according to Defense Safety Oversight Council’s Web site, www.seeandavoid.org. According to the site, there are more than 450 near mid-air collisions reported each year.

Hand Counting Paper Ballots
Rady Ananda: Political Realism vs Negotiating with Our Hands (17 comments) Successful tactics from around the globe inspire adoption into the hand-count elections movement. Rejection of hopeless "realism" that politicians aren't considering our demand for hand counts - is but a part of the overall strategy. If citizens expect accurate election results, they must run parallel polls, observe, investigate and video the vote. Power is never given; it must be asserted. Saturday, January 12: Marcus B: Racists for Obama: Is This a "Not" Joke? How about these incredible pundits and their ideas about racists being responsible for the discrepancy between polls and official results for Obama in New Hampshire? Dave Berman: NH Chaos Represents Opportunity; Nancy Tobi Pleads For No "Recount" (1 comments) I'm looking at this New Hampshire situation and I'm saying alright already let's make the most of this opportunity to move ahead with the peaceful revolution.
Disney to recruit interns at UNLV
Though these jobs may not seem like typical internship work, Bolivar said that it is the “Disney difference" that makes it worthwhile. “It doesn't matter what you did there, it matters that you were there," Bolivar said. Wellington works at the gift shops at the All Star Resorts and agrees that the experience in polishing her communication skills and learning to better serve customers is what sets the internship apart from the rest. To motivate interns, positions are even given different names to help workers remember that they are there to entertain. Employees are called cast members, customers are called guests, uniforms are refereed to as costumes and when at work interns are on-stage. During the internship, students live in apartments with anywhere from three to five roommates.
Andy Pettitte apologizes for using HGH
Moreover, Clemens has filed a defamation lawsuit against McNamee. "This has been a horrible situation for me," Pettitte said. "I'm hoping and praying I don't have to do anything else." "If that were to all die down, I think it would pretty much go away," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "But obviously, there is some litigation there that Andy might be a part of. "So from that standpoint, it could linger. But my thought is Andy has probably told everything that there is." Pettitte posted a 15-9 record with a 4.05 earned-run average in 34 starts and two relief appearances last season, his 10th in New York. The left-hander is 201-113 lifetime with a 3.83 ERA and 25 complete games in 403 appearances (393 starts) over 13 MLB seasons with the Yankees and Astros.
Inside a GOP Effort To Rig The 2002 New Hampshire Elections
The electronic voting machines credited Bush instead of Kerry when a voter pressed the Kerry button; the button for Bush lit up instead. Kerry clearly won in the Exit Polls, but like a good little compliant Dim he conceded defeat the very next day and didn't put up a fight. .
Drudge headline distorted Clinton comments to suggest she said "Obama ...
On March 3, the Drudge Report linked to online news portal Breitbart.tv video footage from the March 2 edition of CBS' 60 Minutes under the headline "Hillary: Obama Not Muslim 'As Far As I Know' ... ," falsely suggesting that Sen. Hillary Clinton characterized the issue of Sen. Barack Obama's religion as unresolved. In fact, she did the opposite. Correspondent Steve Kroft first asked Clinton, "You don't believe that Senator Obama is a Muslim?" to which Clinton replied, "Of course not. I mean, that's -- you know, there is no basis for that. You know, I take him on the basis of what he says. And, you know, there isn't any reason to doubt that." Kroft then asked, "And you said you'd take Senator Obama at his word that he's not a Muslim," to which Clinton replied, "Right. Right." Only after Kroft went on to ask, "You don't believe that he's a Muslim or implying, right?," did Clinton respond, "No.
UK united on obesity threat
The government's proposals on tackling obesity have been greeted with widespread approval from public health organisations. Health secretary Alan Johnson outlined plans to spend £372 million on the initiative in the Commons today, saying he wanted to reverse trends identified in last year's Foresight report. That predicted over half of men and women would become clinically obese by 2050, leading the government to set itself the target of becoming the first "major country" to "reverse the rising tide of obesity". Today's proposals cover initiatives helping both children and adults to eat more healthily and take more exercise. Incentives for better health will be introduced while personalised advice and support will be made available. Mr Johnson admitted it was difficult to keep a healthy weight in today's society but used this as an argument in favour of increased government intervention.
