Alex Honnold, Sacramento Native, on Top of Free, Solo Climbing World:

Ever since he could remember, Alex has been climbing, ascending. That may have started when aided by his mother's finger, he climbed out of his crib. When he took his blanket and headed out of the house to explore the great outdoors, he knew he was up to something. His parents knew it too. That is why they took him to a climbing school where he developed his skills at an early age. But nobody knew that he was going to go free solo style on some of the major climbing challenges in the world. As they say, after devoting many years to the laid-back sport, the rest is history.

Alex Honnold has become popular with the fans of rockclimbing all over the world. He is making a living in the sport. He is flown all over the world with all expenses paid trips.

Clothing companies are clamoring to sponsor him. So far, the North Face is one among them. Alex has climbed Rostrum and Astroman at Yosemite National park and the famous Moonlight Buttress at Zion National park.

Congratulations to Pitsburg Steelers for Winning the Superbowl! U.S. Airways Pilot Sullenberger and Crew Honored

Many call it a “miracle on the Hudson River.” Others see it as the performance of a lifetime. No matter what, one thing is clear. Thanks to his training and expertise, Pilot Sully managed to land a huge aircraft damaged by bird strikes. It was not an easy task. Bravo to the stewards who managed to keep the passengers calm enough and get them out of the submerging airplane.

Who is Sully?

A former Air Force fighter pilot, “Sully” was lauded by New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg, who hailed Sullenberger’s actions as “masterful.” Even President George Bush called him to congratulate him.

What others are saying about this great act of heroism. The pilot made sure that he was the last person to leave the airplane.

ABCNews put it this way, “The hero of Flight 1549, pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger III, walked the aisle of the downed US Airways jet twice looking for passengers before exiting the plane he safely ditched in the Hudson River, saving the lives of more than 150 people onboard.”

And the Wall Street Journal wrote the following, “For the first time in 50 years of commercial jet flight, the pilots of US Airways Flight 1549 successfully executed one of the most technically challenging maneuvers, landing a jetliner on water without fatalities.”

According to www.safetyreliability.com, you can read his bio this way,

“Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger, III is a captain for a major U.S. airline with over 40 years of flying experience. A former U.S. Air Force (USAF) fighter pilot, he has served as an instructor and Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) safety chairman, accident investigator and national technical committee member. He has participated in several USAF and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident investigations. His ALPA safety work led to the development of a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular. Working with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists, he coauthored a paper on error inducing contexts in aviation. He was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Crew Resource Management (CRM) course used at his airline and has taught the course to hundreds of his colleagues. Sully is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy (B.S.), Purdue University (M.S.) and the University of Northern Colorado (M.A.). He was a speaker on two panels at the High Reliability Organizations (HRO) 2007 International Conference in Deauville, France May 29-31, 2007. He has just been named a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.”

A new hero is with us! Hats off to Sully and his crew!

Michael Phelps Says, "I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again"

“I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgement,” Phelps said.

“I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
