SEATTLE, Wash. -- National Transportation Safety Board officials briefed the public Wednesday about their investigation into the cause of a deadly news helicopter crash on Tuesday morning.
Investigators have been pouring over evidence in the last 24 hours, including conversations between the helicopter pilot and nearby construction crane operators.
Right now we're looking at all the scenarios, NTSB Deputy Regional Chief Dennis Hogenson said Wednesday at the briefing. We are focusing on the engine, the air frame and the pilot, as well as the environment. We've had a number of reports of the construction cranes in the area, and we are trying to link all of these pieces together.
Investigators are mapping out where the cranes are located in the area and talking with the crane operators.
More: Photos of fiery helicopter crash
One of the crane operators was in contact with the pilot on the previous approach and landing. They had two-way radio communications. Apparently that's very common for the helicopters working in and out of the area, said Hogenson.
He said Seattle Police are going through their surveillance video, and on Thursday morning, investigators will meet with them to review the footage.
A lot of the footage that we're seeing does not actually capture the events leading up to the acccident, said Hogenson. We have footage that we've seen that showed the helicopter prior to the event, the helicopter landing and the previous approach.
Investigators are also interviewing the many witnesses to the accident and going through cell phone video and photos.
Hogenson said the team of investigators is working on the wreckage layout, and that's expected to take several days. They will remove the engine and examine it, then ship it to the manufacturer.
More: Crash unfolds on social media
The NTSB hopes to have a preliminary report finished by Monday at the latest with a full investigation complete for about a year.
Investigators said the helicopter carrying Bill Strothman and Gary Pfitzner crashed just after taking off from Fisher Plaza, home of KOMO-TV, and crashed on the street nearby. Three vehicles were hit, sending one man to the hospital with burns to 20 percent of his body.
The aircraft was being operated by Helicopters, Inc. KING 5 shares with KOMO the cost of the helicopter and video service provided by Helicopters, Inc.
The man who was injured, 38-year-old RichardNewman, is in serious condition at Harborview Medical Center. As of Wednesday morning, Newman was conscious, breathing on his own and improving, according to the hospital.
The memorial outside KOMO's building at Fisher Plaza continued to grow. Flowers, candles and more filled the table, beside which stood pictures of Strothman and Pfitzner.
Strothman won 13 Emmys and worked for KOMO from 1979-2008, but left to freelance and has been employed by Helicopters, Inc. since 2008.
Pfitzner worked at Boeing's development center in Tukwila and, in his spare time, flew helicopters and gave flying lessons.

Dyson's New Fan Heater Combo Lands in Time for British Heatwave
Blast out that cool machine-made breeze, or turn your flat into a sauna with the heater function.
Blast out that cool machine-made breeze, or turn your flat into a sauna with the heater function.
Combining the two technologies creates an appliance that removes 99.95 per cent of airborne room invaders.
"Lesson one: 'Hoover' is a BRAND NAME", as Dyson teams with Imperial College London for a new school for engineering.
The vacuum cleaner manufacturer has invested $15 million in a company called Sakti3.
You'll find them inside the new Dyson V6 Fluffy and Dyson V6 Absolute.
To keep your house humid, and your skin hydrated.
Dyson's latest vacuum cleaner certainly sucks better than even the sauciest people on the darkest corners of the internet, but it's design also brings with it a few issues that may not make it to everyone's liking.
Dyson got rid of the bag, but it won't be getting rid of the balls.
British student James Roberts, 23, designed the winning inflatable incubator – and has his sights set on the developing world.
Based on the design of the Wiltshire-based firm's well-regarded bladeless fans and heaters, Dyson's new humidifier ensures your home isn't being filled with bacteria-ridden moisture thanks to a germ-killing UV light.
The following 20 proposals come from all over the world and they represent the finalists in Dyson's 600+ list of possible winners for this year's award.
The Fluffy is Dyson's answer to dusty, dirty hardwood floors. It's....so....FLUFFY!
Gizmodo chatted with the inventor to find out more.
Dyson, while late to the robo-vac party, might have unsurprisingly come up with the best one yet. Its Eye 360 includes an all-seeing 360 degree camera that knows where it's been where it needs to go, and what obstacles it should avoid.
Put your money on it being a vacuum cleaner. But perhaps a robot one.
Every year, Dyson asks industrial designers, product designers, and engineers to submit their smart solution to any problem. It's an awesomely broad request.

Missouri executes man after appeals denied
BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — In 1991, Herbert Smulls called a jeweler to make an appointment to shop at the man's suburban St. Louis store. He said he wanted to buy a diamond for his fiancee.
But it was a set up. Smulls planned to rob the store. More than two decades after the heist, he was executed Wednesday for fatally shooting the store owner.
Stephen Honickman's wife, Florence, was also shot, but survived by playing dead in a pool of her own blood until Smulls and a 15-year-old accomplice left.
It was Missouri's third execution since November and the third since switching to a new drug, pentobarbital, for the lethal injection.
Smulls, 56, did not make a final statement. He mouthed a few words to his two witnesses, who were not identified, then breathed heavily twice and shut his eyes for good. He was pronounced dead at 10:20 p.m.
Honickman spoke to the media after the execution, alongside her adult son and daughter. She questioned why it took 22 years of appeals before Smulls was put to death.
"Make no mistake, the long, winding and painful road leading up to this day has been a travesty of justice," she said.
Smulls' attorneys spent the days leading up to the execution filing appeals that questioned the secretive nature of how Missouri obtains the lethal drug, saying that if the drug were inadequate, the inmate could suffer during the execution.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted a temporary stay late Tuesday before clearing numerous appeals Wednesday, including the final one that was filed less than 30 minutes before Smulls was pronounced dead. The denial came about 30 minutes after his death.
When asked about the time between the appeal and the execution, Missouri Department of Corrections spokesman Mike O'Connell said he was "not familiar with that."
Like Joseph Paul Franklin in November and Allen Nicklasson in December, Smulls showed no outward signs of distress in an execution process that took about nine minutes.
Since 1989, Missouri had used a three-drug protocol for executions, but drug makers have stopped selling those medications for executions. Missouri switched late last year to a form of pentobarbital made by a compounding pharmacy that it refuses to name.
Since the compounding pharmacy is part of the execution team, state officials say, they are not required to disclose its name.
Smulls had a troubled life from the start. Born to an unwed 15-year-old in St. Louis, he was passed along to two other caregivers while still a toddler. As a young man, he turned to crime and spent time in prison for robbery.
In the summer of 1991, he decided to rob again.
Honickman's F&M Crown Jewels in the tony St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield was open by appointment only. The robbery quickly turned violent. Honickman, shot and dying on the floor, pleaded with Smulls to stop.
"Enough already. Take what you want," Honickman said, according to his wife's testimony. The robbers took rings and watches, including the ones Florence Honickman was wearing.

Cheerful bright and stocked to the 9s to make your stay PERFECT
Great loving hosts prepare for you with enthusiasm!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We appreciated the great linens, gorgeous views, and how you thought of every detail to make our vacation here so perfect!
We have stayed here last summer for a little more than 5 weeks and have enjoyed ourselves very much. The house itself is clean and well maintained, with a large garden surrounding it and a nice heated pool. Lots of space in both the house and in the garden to relax. A large kitchen with all appliances, important for me, because i love to cook!
There is a housekeeper available who comes twice a week, so everything is kept clean.
The view is fantastic, just amazing! We are going back in summer 2014, already booked!
What a marvelous home! Nothing beats the view!
This is a great place to stay with family and/or friends. The home is spacious, more than ever expected. I agree that the pictures do not do this home justice. The property is well kept and absolutely beautiful! One can get lost finding all the nooks and crannies this place has to offer. The kitchen is dreamy, and what a treat for those who love to cook! The appliances, the counter space, the Viking range, the duel ovens, everything you could ask for in a kitchen! There is a pleasant vibe to this home, decorated with light colors and a refreshing style. I would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Malibu. The house is easy to get to, not too far from local attractions of LA, yet removed enough to have a tranquil get away.
My friends and I enjoyed every aspect of our stay in this lovely home! The house and grounds are incredibly beautiful and inspiring. Several of us said it was the most beautiful house we had ever stayed in! As promised, everything was ready for us and when we had a few minor issues, Kara was immediately available to address them for us via text message. Everything about the house is "over the top" - luxurious furniture and fabrics throughout the house - the owner is an artist and her charming paintings are displayed throughout the house along with her orchid collection. The grounds are magnificent and the pool is a dream. I generally swam twice a day! We dined at home most evenings, using the well-equipped kitchen, after enjoying cocktails on the spacious patio and the great sound system that broadcast inside and out. Nearly every room has a flat screen TV, but we enjoyed gathering in the media room just off the dining room to catch up on the news. We also had wonderful walks in the neighborhood, and an easy drive to most of the sites we wanted to visit. But the house is so fabulous, that sometimes we just hung around to swim, chat, read and relax. This magnificent home is relatively expensive to rent but we agreed it was well worth the expense to enjoy such elegance. I highly recommend this home and hope that our group can return during the coming year..
This was our second time at this magnificent house. Two weeks of pure paradise. We have enjoyed every single day of our stay. The house is well located; it has an astonishing view and is perfectly equipped. The energy feels good in this house. We are highly recommending this Villa for a great stay and a marvelous vacation. Marie-France and André from Québec Canada.
We spent two wonderful weeks in this house, including Xmas and new year. Its size is perfect for our extended family of 8. With the amazing pacific ocean view, the house is conveniently located near a number of LA tourist attractions. Within 30 to 45 min driving, you can get to Getty Center, Huntington Library, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood, and Disneyland, etc, not to mention the nearby Getty Villa and Santa Monica. The house is beautifully decorated and is well equipped with everything you need. Our kids had a lot of fun in the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood is quite and safe. We are truly grateful to the hospitality of the owner who even setup a lovely Xmas tree for us. All in all,we feel it's a home-away home, We highly recommend it.
We are a family of 5 adults that stayed here in September 2012. The house is sited off the Pacific Coast Highway in an elevated position overlooking the sea. It is a single storey house with a stunning large garden that is filled with flowers, lemon trees, a flat good size area of grass with a fenced in pool. There is plenty of outside furniture to enjoy the sun, have meals or just sit and enjoy the views.
The photos on the website do not do justice to how wonderful the views are from the back of the house.
Inside the house there are 4 bedrooms - 3 of the bedrooms face the sea with the 4th being at the front of the house. All bedrooms have en-suite facilities with the master bedroom having a huge dressing area as well. All bedrooms are to a high standard but the 4th bedroom suffers in comparison with the other 3 - in itself the 4th bedroom is fine but compared to the other 3 it is smaller in every way and doesn't have the wonderful views.
The house had the feel of being someone's home - it had lots of the owners' personal touches and clearly was well looked after. The house seemed to reflect a lifetime of family living particularly in the kitchen with all sorts of cooking related gadgets, loads of pots, dishes, glasses etc. Most things were perfectly functional but not new. The kitchen is a huge area and our biggest problem was remembering where things came from!
The large living area is filled with lovely light coloured sofas and huge windows looking out to sea - our only concern was the sofas looked as though they could mark easily. The TV area off the kitchen had a full range of cable programs which we enjoyed.
The gardeners and pool man came during our stay - all very friendly. One aspect of the property we were not sure about was how open the front of the property was from the street - there was no gate and someone from the street could easily get into the front or back garden area - maybe not an issue because of the neighbourhood which felt very safe but we would change this if it was our property.
There is a shopping centre in Malibu itself about 10 minutes away from the property but we found celebrity prices! Santa Monica is a better option being an easy 20 minute car ride away. There is also a local bus service (534) to Santa Monica which runs every 30 mins which we used.
To top a wonderful stay here, we had the space shuttle fly by on its last flight.
We found the owners were very helpful and we would love to go back.
all of Los Angeles and Souhern California at our doorstep!

Greaseball, I know that my Mom was encouraged to not gain more than about 10 lbs, so perhaps it is a generational thing? I don't think she was overweight at the time. I think the key is good common sense all around--25lbs of weight gain from twinkies is not a good thing, but 25lbs from healthy food shouldn't be a problem, YK? I think lack of respect is a big issue as well, many dr's assume women are overweight because of lack of willpower or something and treat them rudely as a result.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. -- Homeowners and renters in the FEMA Individual Assistance declared counties of Lincoln, Logan, Marion and Wayne who suffered flooding in their basements as a result of the recent flooding are encouraged to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency since they might get help for any uninsured damage.
FEMA grants cover basic needs, officials said, and among those are ensuring a home is safe, secure and functional. The damage must be a direct result of a presidentially declared disaster.
In situations where families do not use their basements as an essential living space, FEMA's ability to help with repairs to a basement may be limited. But if there is a bedroom in the basement that is regularly occupied by a household member and there is no room available upstairs, the basement would likely be deemed an essential living space and therefore eligible for a grant to help with repairs.
If the basement is rented to a non-family member, and it has a separate entrance, loss of the renter's personal property might qualify the renter to be eligible for FEMA assistance or a low-interest disaster loan from the US Small Business Administration.
In any case, damage to such critical appliances like furnaces and water heaters that are in a basement might qualify for replacement under FEMA's Individual and Households Assistance Program.
State and federal disaster officials encourage everyone with losses from the storms and flooding in West Virginia to register with FEMA by phone 800-621-3362. Lines are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET, seven days a week until further notice. Register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or via a smartphone at m.fema.gov. Multilingual registration assistance is available. People with hearing impairment can call the TTY line at 800-462-7585.
If an applicant receives an SBA disaster-loan application, completing it is a crucial step in the recovery process, even though no one is required to accept an approved loan. For more information contact the SBA Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 or log onto www.sba.gov.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

5 Steps to Emotional Spring Cleaning
It's the beginning of spring, when many of us become obsessed with cleaning out closets, drawers, books and clutter. I find it interesting that we are not as excited to embark on a road to "emotional cleansing." Why not take some time this week to inventory old behaviors and patterns that keep us in a constant state of drama — and clean them out along with the dust bunnies?
7 Steps to Set Your Yoga Practice Up for Success
Beginning a yoga practice can feel frustrating, stressful — maybe even boring! But stick with it. Coming back to your mat again and again will improve your body, mind and spirit beyond levels that you even dreamed imaginable.
Find a blissful yoga practice by following these simple steps:
A Yoga Journey for Autumn
Autumn has arrived, and with it, I always feel the need to turn within to find balance between the lightness I felt during the warm summer days and the sudden desire to stay cozy and warm inside, as the temperatures cool outside.
Watching leaves float to the ground is a reminder that our lives are a mirror of nature's cycles and that everything is in a state of impermanence. Autumn is a time for letting go and releasing things that no longer serve us.
Yoga for All Seasons: Autumn
Fall is the season of transformation. We can see this all around us in nature: the leaves are falling, the air is changing and we are harvesting an entirely new crop of fruits and vegetables.
It is important that we change with the seasons — just as nature does — by adapting our daily habits, yoga practice and food choices.
Ironically, it is only through change that was can stay grounded during this shifting season.
Life and Yoga: The Art of Balance
When life gets busy, it's easy to get out of balance – emotionally, physically and mentally – from trying to maintain equilibrium between the activities that fulfill us and the demands of life. Very rarely are we able to maintain the 'great Tree Pose of balance,' as our lives are in a constant state of change.
3 Steps for Setting a Yoga Intention
At some point in your yoga practice, you've probably been asked to set an intention or San Culpa. Setting an intention is a wonderful way to start your practice, your day, or any new beginning, but in doing so it's always good to step back and ask why you're doing it. What is intention? What does intention mean to me?
Yoga and the Earth
As you grow and deepen your conversation with yoga, it becomes quite clear that the yoga practice must stretch far beyond the boundaries of that little sticky mat. Naturally, your practice begins to bleed into every part of your life, saturating your world with concepts like ahimsa (non-violence). Part of that concept is living in a way that is non-harming to the Earth.
Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to explore this mind-set, as we look for ways to give back to our life-sustaining planet. Every moment we are nourished and blessed by the abundant gifts of the Earth, and on this particular day we have the chance to give gratitude back to the source! This is a special chance to develop lasting rituals in your yoga practice and in your life that nurture an eco-centric approach to everyday living and that have the potential to last all year round.
How to Live a Miraculous Life
Many of us long for a life of happiness and peace, but we don't believe we can have it. The great paradox is that our lack of faith in love and miracles is what blocks us from receiving love and miracles.
If we want to live a miraculous life, we must raise the volume on the loving voice within us and turn down the volume on our fear.
New Year, New Beginnings
It's hard to believe that it was only a few weeks ago that we were contemplating the end of the world. Not only did we survive the apocalypse, we survived the holidays!
Now the conversation is all about 'New Year = New You!' and making huge life changes now!
I prefer to work with the earth's gentle cycles as my guide. For me, the winter season is for hibernation and quiet contemplation … a time to go deep 'inside.' It is a time for rest (with so many hours of darkness) and for reflection, a perfect time to tap into dreams and journal.
When we attune ourselves with the seasons, we allow our inherent natural rhythms to flow, which are easy to follow and feel good about.

The Maritime Hotel
363 West 16th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Meatpacking District
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Maritime Hotel was designed in 1966 for the National Maritime Union; hence its name, and its nautical theme. Today it is one of New York's hipster hangouts, owing as much to its location (just off the Meatpacking District) as to the charms of the hotel itself.
This is not a traditional hotel, by any stretch — all rooms face westward, looking over the Hudson and New Jersey through five-foot porthole windows. The rooms are compact, but well-designed, with built-in furniture, so that all the necessities (storage space, work desk, flat-screen TV) easily fit into the tiny space, and wireless internet, naturally, takes no space at all. The décor almost borders on kitsch, but is actually quite charming, if one accepts the ship's cabin conceit in all its wood-paneled glory.
The real action, of course, is in the public spaces, from the parade of models and actors in the lobby to the 10,000-square-foot terrace — the largest outdoor space in any New York hotel. And Midtown's glamorous Asian bistro Tao has taken over the hotel's enormous subterranean space.
Not just a boutique, not quite a luxury hotel, the Maritime occupies a middle ground all its own, with a level of service a bit higher than one would find at a flashier nightclub hotel. The neighborhood is one of the new centers of New York nightlife, and the Maritime benefits from its downtown location; most New York hotels are in stodgy Midtown or the stuffy Upper East or West sides. One important fact: each room has, without exception, one queen bed — so travelers in need of twins must look elsewhere. But if you are on your own, or don't mind getting close to your companion, this is a fine hotel for mixing comfort and cool.
Please Note: Maritime's main restaurant will be closed for renovation through summer 2015; guests may enjoy complimentary continental breakfast and nightly wine and cheese. Construction will take place Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm in the outdoor lobby/dining area, restaurant, outdoor bar, and patio. Every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum, though guests may experience minor noise during this period.

What I liked:
Great location on the edge of the Meatpacking District, across the street from the Chelsea Market and a block from the Highline. Room was very comfortable; bathroom was compact but modern with a very good walk-in shower. Loved the free WiFi in all rooms. Very good value for the price.
What the hotel could do better:
Walls are a bit thin. We could hear our neighbors' conversations clearly.

What I liked:
I went to New York on a quick business trip and was looking for a unique hotel to stay in. I'm a big fan of the look of Sean MacPherson / Eric Goode hotels (Bowery Hotel, Maritime, and Jane) and the Maritime did not disappoint. I thought it had the perfect mix of maritime meets 1960's vibe. I had read reviews saying the hotel was a lively spot but I found it to be incredibly quiet and low-key. The service was great, bed was comfy, nice bathrooms (with ample light for make-up applying), great dining, perfect location, wonderful large desk for working, and I found the rooms to be decently large by NYC standards. I would definitely recommend the hotel and stay again.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!
