Prayers for the trapped miners. Hopefully, some of the lessons from the success in Chile will be applied here with equally positive results.This whole story is absolutely heartbreaking and must be a close to unbearable for the families of the trapped miners as possible. I hope that they can be brought out sooner than the estimates I Read More

There is a theory floating around the professional forums that if the pitot tubes were iced over, fixing the pressure on the pitot side, then any climb at all would register an apparently dangerous increase in IAS as static pressure decreases. The natural reaction would be to throttle back and climb to avoid overspeed. But the higher Read More

I'm amazed that in this economic climate people still find the couple of hundred dollars/pounds/Euros to actually afford a Smartphone (be it an iPhone or Galaxy).

Mr. Reynolds, you are a worthy cheerleader for President Obama and I'm sure he and his people would be proud of you. You have done a masterful job of reciting the left-wing talking points and you should be proud of your ability to memorize them.

I haven't read the preceding 680-something posts, so please excuse this if it's redundant. If Warren Buffett were as concerned about his perceived shortfall in tax revenues from his wealthy ilk, he could quickly lead by example in 3 ways:

In Minnesota, 571 million dollars were spent to build a light rail system covering 12 miles from the Mall of America to downtown Mpls. What is the ROI? There isn't one. The $1.75 fare represents only 32% of the .46/passenger-mile operating cost. The Minnesota taxpayers are providing a 68% subsidy for every passenger mile with no plans Read More

Keith, it must make you feel better when you can insult people's intelligence. The stock market started to decline rapidly on July 22, about a week before the debt ceiling limit. That weekend was when Republicans started playing the hostage card by walking out of negotiations. The market already knew that there would have to be reductions Read More

David,
Thank you. You have told us all who you are: "By forcing everyone into the pool ..." That one thought reveals what you really believe.
EVERYONE HERE needs to believe people like David when they tell us who they are and what the seek for the rest of us. Do not shrug off comments like these ("force everyone") as fringe beliefs. Read More
