...feet, but then climbed about a mile - and possibly began breaking up in midair - before falling into the ocean. That might suggest a last-ditch attempt by the crew to gain control of the stricken craft, which could have broken up under structural stress if the pilot had attempted to pull too quickly out of a 700-mph dive. But the cause of that initial dive - like everything else associated with Flight 990's final moments - remains in the province of speculation, which can't begin to be resolved before the flight data recorders have been analyzed.

Tensions in Vieques were brought to a head last spring, when a Marine pilot misidentified a military observation post as his target and destroyed it with two 500-pound bombs...
Westfall-Lake and "wellness supervisor" Jill Thieman have spearheaded a pilot project at a gas-gathering and -processing operation in the Four Corners.

Employees can use company-owned vehicles to car-pool (thus minimizing driving fatigue), take time off while at work to exercise briefly on treadmills and stationary bicycles, and use light boxes that are designed to suppress melatonin, which induces sleep.

This star vehicle, thus far, is a shiny subway to nowhere...

And though Harvard expresses doubts about the FLA, its own pilot program looks quite a bit like it, with monitoring by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and no disclosure of data or factory locations...
