Airplane Crash Landing Definitely Needed More Foam
2009-09-15 20:26:00 From Gizmodo: This morning, the crew of this Fokker had 90 minutes of fuel to troubleshot an unsafe gear alert reported by its onboard computer. Unfortunately, they couldn't fix it on time. That's the kind of troubleshooting that will result in my brain getting a kernel panic.
Pilot files suit against Boeing after failed takeoff and forced landing
2009-08-08 02:19:00 A pilot is filing suit against The Boeing Company, alleging inadequate inspections, instructions, and warnings for its Model 747-200. Filed today in the Circuit Court of Cook County, the complaint details an incident on July 7, 2008, in which Ivan Dankha piloted a 747 on a flight from Bogata to Miami. Engine troubles necessitated a forced landing because "the airplane was not capable of takeoff" in certain situations, including "takeoffs on non-standard days, at high altitude airports."Another Kalitta Air employee aboard the flight that day also filed suit against Boeing today in Cook County. Both lawsuits involve claims of personal injury as a result of the forced landing, and both are suing for an unspecified amount in damages....
Creating a Landing Page That Sells
2009-07-27 08:19:00 A landing page is a tailored webpage that readers link to through an online advertisement, email campaign, email signature, special offer or a generic website. Whilst a generic website is expected to have a well-thought sales process, a landing page is literally based on one.Landing pages are usually a sub-page to your website. They are highly targeted to a specific marketing campaign to improve results and increase the probability of sale of a product. Many businesses successfully use LPs to deliver tailored messages to a targeted audience; promote a product which is not otherwise on their website; or simply to launch a new product or service.As an entrepreneur, you can use a landing page to promote products such as an eBook or Seminar; to deliver a targeted message about your services via an ad campaign (such as a pay-per-click ad on Google or Find-a-Coach); or to introduce yourself to first timers (people who haven't visited your website yet).When developing a landing page, you ...

Landing
2008-07-17 10:00:00 Hay algunos estudiosos de esa ciencia que llamamos Economía que son capaces de preveer en el tiempo en base a ciertos indicadores, como los meteorólogos con sus satélites, la evolución de la Economía. Estos óraculos corren el riesgo de ser ignorados si hablan cuando los burócratas disuelven las Cortes. Entonces la tormenta llega, y quienes se mojan son los ciudadanos. El burócrata, una vez cerradas las urnas y redecorados los despachos, puede entonces encerrarse en una perpetua campaña electoral repitiendo sus consignas y acusando a los oráculos de anti patriotas y pesimistas, construyendo una falsa realidad de bonanza y estabilidad mientras los ciudadanos, no los economistas, apenas llegan a fin de mes. La otra opción es, con cuatro años por delante, reconocer la crisis y empeñarse por un lado en contenerla y por otro y restituir una imagen dañada por las mentiras de campaña, por la negación de la evidencia. En cualquier caso la tesitura se basa en un juego de confianza, en la conf...

Paris Landing
2008-06-10 00:50:00 I landed in Memphis a week ago Sunday. The very next day, two Paulists and I hopped into a car and drove three hours to? a resort hotel along the Tennessee River. During my first week of my summer apostolate, the Diocese of Memphis scheduled their annual retreat for all of the diocesan priests at the state park in Paris Landing. I don?t THINK the Bishop scheduled the region-wide getaway to coincide with my arrival, but I have not heard anything to the contrary.The week is really designed by the bishop to be a nice break for the priests of the diocese; there are some lectures in the morning with morning prayer and Mass everyday, but the rest of the week is intended to be golf, hiking, swimming, etc. I have to confess that it feels a little weird to be tagging along at this juncture. I have just gotten off of a two week vacation with a week long retreat before that. After having traveled to Berkeley, Rome, New York City, Las Vegas, and Lake George over the course of the past year...

NASA's Phoenix Mars landing live on the web
2008-05-25 19:35:00 In August 2003 NASA selected the University of Arizona "Phoenix" mission for launch in 2007. It was the first in a new line of smaller, low-cost, Scout missions in the agency's exploration of Mars program. NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander was launched on 4 August 2007, the mission has two goals. One is to study the geologic history of water, the key to unlocking the story of past climate change. The second is to search for evidence of a habitable zone that may exist in the ice-soil boundary.It will be a real nail-biter on May 25, 2008, for engineers, as the Phoenix spacecraft performs a series of challenging maneuvers right before it lands on Mars.

Google AdWords Adds 'Landing Page Load Time' as a factor for Quality Score
2008-05-09 14:10:00 As it had been expected, Google has announced, that it will now be displaying load time evaluations or Landing Page Load Time on the Keyword Analysis Page. This factor will directly impact a Webmaster's 'Quality Scores'. Depending upon the loading speed of the keywords with landing pages, the Quality Scores will be determined. The slower the landing page, the lower would be the quality score and vice-versa. As of now the Landing Time will only be displayed in the Keyword Analysis page. However, come mid-June this year, Landing Page load time considerations will be evaluated for the Quality Scores. Google has provided sort of a 'Help Center' for Webmasters to understand the complexity and the importance of the Landing Page Load time and find tips and suggestions to improve their webpage load timings.
