Sheriff James Cordova prepares to address the media at a July 20 press conference near the site of July 19 fatal helicopter crash.
The crash claimed three lives; Two from Salt Lake City and one from Idaho.
Patrick Jones of the NTSB along with his assistant walk the scene of Saturday's helicopter crash approximately one-half mile from the airport.
A helicopter crash near the Carbon County airport fatally wounded three men this Saturday as they attempted to return to Salt Lake City.
During a joint press conference with Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova on July 20, Patrick Jones of the National Transportation Safety Board indicated that his organization along with the Federal Aviation Administration would be conducting a full investigation into the incident in order to determine the facts surrounding the fatalities.
According to Sheriff Cordova, Carbon County officials were alerted to the crash at 3:42 p.m. with his men arriving on scene within 10 minutes. While the chopper was completely burned the smoking wreckage did not ignite any nearby vegetation.
"There was a quick flash and then that was it," said Cordova.
Upon arriving the sheriff's office discovered the remains of James Ian Innes, 59, of Salt Lake City; his son Andrew Innes, 30, of Park City and their friend George McDaniel, 40, of Idaho Falls.
"Paramedics were called to the area with everyone else, but the men were not transported to the hospital. They were all pronounced dead at the scene of the crash," said Cordova.
While the names of the men were released neither Cordova or Jones would speculate as to the cause of the incident.
"You have to understand that the process could take upwards of six months to conclude," said Jones. "You guys in the media like to solve everything in 23 minutes but it takes us a little closer to six months."
The NTSB investigators will have a preliminary report on their website in the next five or six days, he said but a full assessment of the incident will take longer.
"I can only talk about facts, I will not speculate," said Jones.
According to the NTSB investigator, his team will gather factual data and then present their findings to a five person presidential board. It will be their responsibility to release a statement concerning the cause of the crash.
The NTSB has a massive workload, with 14 regional investigators covering 10 states and investigating upwards of 600 incidents per year.
Following the crash, officials enacted a temporary flight restriction over the area where the helicopter touched down.
When asked by the state media if such a restriction was typical, Jones replied, "I would do it if it were your family or mine."
Because the remains were not removed until the late morning hours of July 20, investigators kept the area off-limits to the media until the 3:30 p.m. press conference.
"We restrict the airspace because media helicopters tend to park at 1000 ft. and that can be a real distraction to the investigation," said Jones.
Jones reported that the Hughes 369 model helicopter is a civilian aircraft that can be used for everything from firefighting to recreational flying. It has a max capacity of five but typically carries no more than four including the pilot.
The aircraft left the Carbon County Airport at approximately 3:40 p.m. on July 19. And while the investigators maintained that scene was too new to speculate about the time line, the aircraft crashed within a mile of its point of origin just northwest of the airport.
"When the Hughes 369 departed the airport for their personal flight the destination was approximately 15 minutes away," said Jones. "Another aircraft was in the air at the time of the crash but they reported hearing no distress call around the time of the crash."
The sheriff stipulated that his officers will maintain a perimeter around the crash site until the federal investigators have concluded their fact finding.
According to Jones, there are so many things that can lead to a crash of this type. From weight to weather to pilot problems, there are just a lot of things that can go wrong.
People interested in the preliminary crash report may visit the NTSB within the next 10 days at www.ntsb.gov.

Sunnyside teachers suspended. District has no comment
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -- Action News learned two Sunnyside High School teachers are suspended and under investigation for using inappropriate teaching materials.
Parents contacted us and said they were concerned, so KIMA went straight to the Sunnyside School District.
They summed it up with a "no comment" and wouldn't confirm or deny the information we uncovered.
To get all sides Action News reached out to the teacher's union, but they said they had not heard about the suspensions until we called.
We also called one of the teachers but have not heard back.
Action News confirmed one of the teachers was put on leave about a week and a half ago.
Sources said the material provided to students was not appropriate.
A local minister said the behavior should not be tolerated.
"It destroys moral values," Regner Capener, a minister in Sunnyside. "It destroys trust. It's like, if the adults are promoting this, where do we stand?"
KIMA filed a public records requests to gain access to whatever is available in this investigation.
Until then, Action News will make sure the district is revealing everything the public is allowed to know.

A friend called me a couple of days ago. She had just stopped at Taqueria la Veracruzana and happened upon a lady who makes and sells Elotes.
I stopped by tonight, first at 5:30 and then at 7:00. The second time, along with ordering some Tacos Al Pastor, I asked about her. She wouldn't be there tonight, but she is there three or four nights a week, starting at 8:30 in the evening.
And she will be there tomorrow, Friday.

Georgia residents recently learned that a rare bat has stalled state highway improvements. The May 2012 sighting of an endangered Indiana brown bat in a northern Georgia tree has triggered federal regulations requiring that state road projects not "harm, kill or harass" bats.
Even the possibility of disturbing bats or their habitats would violate the act, the feds say. Therefore, $460 million in Georgia road projects have been delayed for up to eighteen months, so that "appropriate studies" can be conducted. The studies will cost $80,000 to $120,000 per project, bringing the total for all 104 road project analyses to $8-12 million, with delays adding millions more.
Bats are vital to our ecology, agriculture and health. A single colony of 150 big brown bats can consume up to 1.3 million flying insect pests per year, Dr. Justin Boyles and other scientists point out, preventing crop damage and eradicating countless mosquitoes. If Indiana bats are expanding their range from Tennessee into Georgia, that could be good news.
"White nose syndrome" is impacting populations of hibernating bats in caves all over the Eastern USA. The infectious disease is probably fungal in origin, these scientists say, and the loss of North America's bats to WNS could cost farmers $4-53 billion per year - and let mosquitoes proliferate.
At first blush, then, the delay-and-study decision by the US and Georgia Departments of Transportation (DOT) and US Fish and Wildlife Service to protect these voracious furry flyers makes sense. (The FWS enforces the Endangered Species Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act and similar laws.)
However, the Georgia bat study action is akin to obsessing about a cut finger, while ignoring cancer. The schizophrenic decision underscores how environmental concerns, DOT actions and federal threats to impose penalties or withhold highway funds too often seem to reflect ideologies, agendas and politics, rather than science or actual risks of harming a species.
It's true that Peach State highway projects could conceivably affect bat colonies or daytime rest periods for these nocturnal creatures, to some small degree. But the road work will reduce accidents and crash-related deaths - and delays will likely result in more injuries and fatalities.
Meanwhile, other human activities are decimating bat populations all over America. But environmental groups remain silent, and state and federal wildlife "guardians" do little to stop the carnage. How is that possible?
The exempted activities involve heavily subsidized wind turbines that generate expensive, intermittent electricity and require "backup" hydrocarbon-fueled power plants for some 80 percent of their rated or "nameplate" capacity.
A US Geological Survey report investigated the causes and consequences of bat fatalities around the world. Other analyses have addressed the violent effects that wind turbines have on bats, which are vulnerable because turbines are especially busy at night, when bats are everywhere but electricity demand is at its lowest. Bats are struck by blades traveling 100-200 mph at their tips or felled by "barotrauma," sudden air pressure changes that explode their lungs, as explained in a 2008 Scientific American article "On a wing and low air: The surprising way wind turbines kill bats."
Supposedly "eco-friendly" wind turbines in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands kill tens of thousands of bats annually. The Fowler Ridge and Meadow Lake facilities in northwestern Indiana already have 475 gigantic turbines on 75,000 acres; an additional 150 wind turbines are planned; and all are in the middle of prime Indiana bat habitat.
Even worse, long after the slaughter began, the USFWS is evaluating whether to grant Fowler Ridge a 22-year "incidental take" permit, so that the turbines can continue decimating bats - and the operators can continue being exempted from laws and penalties that apply to everyone else.
Of course, bats aren't the only victims. Numerous rare, vital and endangered bird species are also at risk from wind turbines - including whooping cranes, hawks, falcons, and bald and golden eagles.
To minimize public outrage over the eco-slaughter, Fish and Wildlife has changed its census methods for "whoopers" (to make it harder to calculate how many cranes have "gone missing" along their turbine-dotted Alberta-to-Texas migratory corridor); allows wind facility operators to use search methods that ensure that most dead and injured birds (and bats) will never be found; initiated a process to issue 30-year "incidental take" permits for killing bald and golden eagles; and refused to prosecute wind facility operators for annihilating birds and bats.
The proposed New Era Wind Farm in Minnesota will likely kill 8-14 bald eagles annually. It is yet another example of serious environmental impacts overlooked in the quest to "go green" and meet state "renewable" energy mandates - as though this wildlife destruction is "sustainable" or "acceptable."
Projects like New Era or Shepherds Flat in Oregon also mean a person could be fined or jailed for possessing a feather from a bald eagle decapitated by a wind turbine - but the turbine operator would get off scot free.
A 2012 Spanish Ornithological Society study and 1993 studies in Germany and Sweden found that a typical wind turbine kills 333-1,000 birds and bats annually in Spain, up to 309 birds per year in Germany, and as many as 895 birds and bats in Sweden. World Council for Nature chairman Mark Duchamp estimates that turbines kill twice as many bats as birds.
That means the more than 40,000 turbines operating in the United States, often in or near important habitats, could easily be killing 13 million to 39 million birds and bats every year!
And yet, most environmentalist groups say nothing, and the Fish and Wildlife Service does nothing.
However, Georgia taxpayers must pay millions for bat studies - enriching researchers and reducing taxpayer wealth - to ensure that road projects do not disturb the flying mammals. Meanwhile, the state's drivers and passengers must wait years for safety and other improvements to their highways.
Ironically, Indiana bats that are to be studied and protected in Georgia could get chopped in half en route by "Cuisinarts of the air" that Uncle Sam considers so holy the turbines must be safeguarded against endangered species laws, regardless of environmental costs.
Too many other health, environmental and economic impacts are routinely ignored by developers and regulators alike, where wind turbines (and biofuels) are concerned. That cannot continue.
As summer approaches, Americans should also consider what life will be like when windmills cause bat populations to crater. Freed of their natural predators, mosquitoes will thrive, and they have a much more unquenchable thirst for human blood than do bats of folklore and Dracula tales.
It's high time that people's safety - and truly devastating impacts on important bird and bat species - stopped taking a back seat to political agendas, crony corporatism and folklore environmentalism. It's no longer acceptable to paraphrase Joseph Stalin's obscene axiom, and say: A single bird or bat death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.

Protesters Gather In Cairo After Port Said Football Massacre Defendants Sentenced To Death

Violent protests continued across Egypt two days after the second anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution that overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak on January 25, and one day after the announcement of the death penalty for 21 suspects in connection with a football stadium massacre one year before. The verdict was announced in a case over the deaths of more than seventy fans of Egypt's Al-Ahly football club in a stadium massacre on February 1, 2012, in the northern city of Port Said, during a brawl that began minutes after the final whistle of a match between Al-Ahly and opposing side, Al-Masry. 21 fans of the opposing side, Al-Masry, were given the death penalty, a verdict that must now be approved by Egypt's Grand Mufti.

In addition to the obvious mission of fighting to make exceptional beer available to the people and freeing shelf space from the white knuckled "Me me me!" grip of the industrialized fizzy yellow facsimile of beer in the process, I've always strived to leverage my position to make positive changes within the craft beer culture.
Some know me to be fairly vocal, and yes, even a bit disruptive at times. To that, I say, "Thanks for noticing. I'll take those as compliments." In my opinion, it's the responsibility of people in craft brewing to be stewards of our industry and help move things in the right direction—by sheer force of will if necessary. (It's taken a lot more than great beer to get our industry this far. If not, all us craft beer guys would have turned totally fat and lazy by now.) Truth be told, there continues to be room for craft breweries to improve our collective efforts and keep this wonderful thing we love called "craft beer" going.
But to put the onus solely on those in the business of making beer would be short-sighted. There's also a lot beer fans can do to keep craft something we can all enjoy and be both proud of and excited about. Quite often it can all come down to acceptance, civility, understanding and, dare I say it, basic courtesy. The beautiful thing is that, even with diverse opinions and perspectives, this civility is not only possible, but bonus, our industry flourishes best when civility is a leading attribute.

Midwest Living Review
Browsing Merz Apothecary's corner store in Chicago's historic Palmer House is a history lesson in global hygiene. It's more "ahh" than "yuck." The 136-year old business, tended by the Qaiyum family's pharmacist-father Abdul and son Anthony, carries 13,000 body and bath products, 200 herbal teas, homeopathic remedies, aromatherapy oils and organic baby items. Merz also stocks 60 varieties of toothpaste and 700 different soaps, some shaped like animals and uncut gem stones. The store is densely packed, and you could spend hours browsing the wares. It's fun to study label artwork and ingredients. Some formulations date back centuries, and you can find pedigreed goods such as Caswell-Massey cologne (reportedly worn by George Washington), French L'Aromarine Vanille Eau de Toilette spray and scented Diptyque candles. The hard-to-find, original, German-imported Nivea creams are on-hand, starting at $4. Besides the common Burt's Bees products, you'll also find rare queen bee jelly-pollen cream, $20 for a half ounce. Want to get on the men's specialty skin-care bandwagon? Treat yourself (or your man) to London's Geo. F. Trumper's shaving cream (invented in 1875) or the organic Lucky Tiger. Various razor, bowl and brush sets, around $100, are on display in a curio cabinet along one wall. Merz's products hail from all over the world, although 40 percent come from Europe. Everything is also sold online. The multilingual staff of herbalists, acupuncturists, aroma therapists and consulting pharmacists can help you make satisfying selections to bring the "ahh" feeling home.

Seems to work Review by Charmaine

We used this on our 2 year old's scraped, itchy knees before bed one night, and saw an improvement by the next day. The smell & texture is nice, and I like that the entire container can be recycled. (Posted on 7/24/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Really lovely smell Review by Nicola
Price Value Quality
This is a really nice Canadian product which smells amazing. I much prefer putting this on my two year old instead of plastering her with bandages. I am sure that 90% of the time I put it on her, it is just the placebo effect which makes her feel better, but whatever distracts her from the tears is a good thing! We've had our container for over a year and it has barely gone down at all with regular use, so it's going to be around for a long time. I even bought the sniffles cold balm because I like their boo-boo goo so much. I have yet to try it (fortunately!).
Added bonus of this product: getting to hear a whimpering toddler requesting 'boo-boo-goo' sounds adorable! (Posted on 1/16/11)

Earlier this month, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled in favor of two consumer groups that had challenged a patent involving embryonic stem cell research held by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Critics have said that the patent, along with several others held by WARF, restricts the progress of science. We'll find out more.
We'll also get an update on the issue of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Slightly over a year ago, President Obama signed an executive order directing the government to change its policies regarding the funding of embryonic stem cell research. Under rules put in place by President Bush, federal funding for embryonic stem cell work was limited to research involving 23 stem cell lines that had already been created. At the time, many scientists hoped that the Obama order would make more lines available to researchers. However, difficulty in meeting some of the informed consent rules and other ethical guidelines set forth by the 2009 order have prevented many lines from being made available. We'll take a look at the current state of science -- and policy -- in the field of stem cell research.

Communist China has performed an estimated 336 million abortions over the past four decades as part of its enforced family planning policy, according to figures recently released by the country's health ministry. The numbers were published in the March 15 Financial Times, which reported that since China first began "encouraging" couples to limit the size of their families, it has also performed 196 million sterilizations and has inserted 403 million intrauterine devices, "a normal birth control procedure in the west but one that local officials often force on women in China," reported the Times.
While measured efforts to limit the size of families were first implemented in 1971, by the end of that decade the campaign had morphed into China's notorious one-child policy, with forced abortion and sterilization for couples who don't comply. The Chinese government has justified the policy by estimating that without such restrictions, the country's population of 1.3 billion would be 30 percent larger.
By comparison, in the United States, which has an estimated population of 315 million — a quarter the size of China's and smaller than the number of aborted Chinese babies — there have been an estimated 55 million abortions since the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision effectively legalized abortion.
By Chinese government calculations, about 13 million babies are aborted in the country annually — or approximately 1,500 every hour. Under the government's oppressive policy, most Chinese couples are allowed only one child in most cases, while some minorities may be allowed more, and in some circumstances rural couples may be given permission for a second if the first child is a girl. The preference for male children has led to the overwhelming selective abortion of female babies, along with a severely unbalanced over-proportion of men to women.
