Cessna 172 crashes at just Northwest of the Rochester International Airport, Captain Scott Lebovitz of Owatonna and other passengers managed to escape.

A small plane crash last night leaves the plane a total loss, but all of the passengers, including a 9-year-old, making it out alive.

 Authorities say the four passengers are very lucky. The plane crashed into a field just Northwest of the Rochester International Airport; bouncing and flipping end to end before landing on its top. The plane was Cessna 172 of the Southeastern Minnesota Flying Club.

 Authorities say a call came in around 6:35 last night from the pilot of the plane.

 "I need to get ahold of the rescue group, at the approach end of the runway. The police department is on the line saying that they do have contact with those in the aircraft,” said air traffic control audio.

 "The pilot made a 911 call from the crashed airplane, uh I believe from his cell phone, so they were able to track the coordinates of the cell phone to get the location of the airplane,” said Detective Joe Rossman.

 But the conditions were less than ideal.  

“The fog was very dense at that time. We could not see, visibility was limited to 50 to 100 feet at times on the roadway,” said Steven Belau, Deputy Chief of the Rochester Fire Department.

 Because of that, sound was needed to locate the passengers. Keeping the pilot on the phone, emergency crews used their sirens and eventually their voices to pinpoint the exact location of the plane. When they arrived, all of the passengers managed to escape on their own.

 That included the pilot of the plane, 23-year-old Scott Lebovitz of Owatonna, Daniel Cronk and his 9-year-old son from Byron and Alan De Keyrel, also of Byron. De Keyrel is the owner of CWS in Rochester and former President of the Board for the Rochester Chamber of Commerce.  Two involved in the crash were transported by Gold Cross to St. Mary’s, all are now out of the hospital.

 The group used the Cessna 172 to fly to the Packers/Vikings game in Green Bay. The pilot listed on the on the plane was De Keyrel and although he had been taking flying lessons, he was not the pilot of the plane at the time of the crash.

 "We have fatal aircraft crashes in conditions like this. They were very fortunate, uh in that it was a relatively, they were coming for a landing so everything was kind of in their favor. Uh, fortunately the soil had been worked up, so that was soft, just everything was in their favor. If this was going to happen. They were very fortunate that all the circumstances were as they were,” said Belau.

 A statement sent to KAAL from De Keyrel reads: “We are very thankful that Alan and his friends all walked away from the crash with only minor scrapes and bruises. We are all very luck y and blessed and are enjoying this time as a family. Thank you for respecting our privacy.

 The FAA is investigating the crash. By using witness interviews, looking at the pilots training and checking if the plane was built properly, they hope to determine what caused it. They say it could be quite a while before we know.

Positive Effects of Positive Thinking


Positive thinking not only changes your mind, it affects your body. So says Daisaku Ikeda, president of the world's largest Buddhist community, Soka Gakkai International. According to Ikeda, as soon as you decide to achieve a certain goal, every part of you, including your nerve fibers, gear up to help you achieve it. Conversely, says Ikeda on the Soka Gakkai website IkedaQuotes.org, as soon as you think you can't possibly succeed, "every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight [and] everything really will move in the direction of failure." Research supports Ikeda's claim.

More Resiliency

When life knocks down some people, says resiliency coach Angie LeVan of the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center, they go down swinging and jump back on their feet to keep fighting---often with more power in their punches than they had at first. LeVan calls such people "people in high efficacy." She says they "learn from failure and channel it into success." In life, setbacks resulting from illness, death and countless other realities are bound to happen. But instead of being defeated by them, people in high efficacy use these obstacles to grow stronger.

Less Depression

According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, untreated clinical or major depression can lead to suicide. Environmental factors, an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, and dysfunctional thinking are potential causes of major depression. Hara Estroff Marano, editor-at-large of Psychology Today, suggests that we train ourselves in cognitive-thinking---thinking about what we're thinking. By doing this we can combat negative self-talk with positive messages and stop a minor case of the blues from becoming a major depression. "The quickest way to change how you feel is to change how you think," says Marano.

More Immunity

Researcher Sheldon Cohen, Ph.D. asked a volunteer group of 334 18- to 34-year olds how often they experienced happy or unhappy emotions. The volunteers then received nasal drops containing a common cold virus. People who reported feeling happier were less likely to catch a cold. The March 2010 issue of Psychological Science, features Dr. Suzanne Segerstrom's study of 124 first-year law students. They completed questionnaires to determine how optimistic they felt. Each student received an injection that made skin bumps appear and become larger or smaller depending on her level of germ immunity. Highly optimistic students experienced higher immunity levels.

Less Cardiovascular Disease

Men who believed their risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease was lower than average were three times less likely to die from heart attacks and strokes than men who believed otherwise found a 15-year study conducted by University of Rochester Medical Center researcher Robert Gramling. In Dr. Karina Davidson's 10-year study of 877 healthy women and 862 healthy men, published in the February 2010 issue of European Heart Journal, participates who reported feeling happier had less heart attacks than those who felt less happy.

2 Pilots Capt Don Horan, wife, Barbara, 44; Captain Stephen Butz, wife, Denise, Greensburg with wife killed at Greensburg Municipal Airport were killed when their plane crashed




Two southeastern Indiana couples were killed when their plane crashed while
approaching their small hometown airport in foggy, misty conditions,
authorities said Monday.

The crash Sunday night near Greensburg Municipal Airport killed pilot Don
Horan, 46; his wife, Barbara, 44; Stephen Butz, 45; and his wife, Denise, 42,
Greensburg Police Capt. Bill Meyerrose said. All four were from Greensburg
and were heading back after a weekend outing in Florida with six others. They

Happy Fifth Anniversary, Great Recession!




On the surface, December is a great month. It's filled with holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and a host of other special occasions. The 22nd is the winter solstice, the day when the Earth's natural calendar turns and days start getting longer, and the 31st is the night when the old year ends and a new one begins.

But for all its holidays and festivals, turning points and celebrations, December also has its fair share of grim anniversaries. The 7th, after all, remains a "day that shall live in infamy," and the 2nd is the day that Enron filed for bankruptcy. On the 11th, Bernie Madoff was arrested, and on the 14th, President George W. Bush was hit by a tossed shoe in Iraq.

Five years ago, December added another infamous event to its collection: According to the National Bureau of Economic Records, December 2007 is the when the U.S. economy peaked and the Great Recession began. That month, unemployment crept up to 4.9%, beginning a slow climb that would gather speed in 2008 before reaching its height in late 2009.

Three months after December 2007, the famed Bear Stearns bailout hinted at the Wall Street mayhem that was in the works. Of course, by then, the rise in unemployment was hard to miss: In February, employers cut 63,000 jobs, a five-year high. Over the ensuing months, those numbers would continue to rise as the jobless rate eventually topped 10%.

Five years later, the economy still hasn't recovered. Unemployment hovers just below 8% -- an improvement over worst days of the recession, but far from its pre-2007 levels. The number of underemployed workers is still high. And while the recession has officially ended, the effects it had on the middle class remain, in particular what many analysts have characterized as an unprecedented loss of wealth.

At the same time, the Great Recession also led to an explosion in the deficit, as the federal government tried to keep the financial collapses of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers from rippling across the economy. Today, with the deficit at its highest level in history and a fight over austerity measures, taxes, and the debt ceiling brewing, the nation's modest recovery is at risk.

Among the possible results of the political grudge match now under way in Washington is that the next five years could look like a rerun of the last five. Perhaps next December, we'll be able to look back on this fifth anniversary of the Great Recession as having preceded a year in which the economy finally improved enough to revive America's optimism ... or perhaps we'll be remembering it as brief respite before the economy once again tumbled over a cliff.

Autodesk embraces Global Cloud Computing




Autodesk Inc.’s 20th University event last week was all about cloud computing.  The long-time leader in computer-aided design software showcased a complete line of cloud-based design, engineering and visualization tools.

The event marks a major turning point for the company, which has traditionally licensed its software for downloads onto the desktop.

“Autodesk is the first company to bring you a full set of professional-grade, cloud-enabled tools that span the entire design process,” Autodesk president and CEO Carl Bass told the 7,000 attendees at the customer conference in Las Vegas.

Cloud computing allows users to access applications over the Net instead of purchasing them for the desktop.

The San Rafael company has moved slowly, first beta testing cloud applications in visualization and simulation in 2010.

What it found was that cloud computing allows designers to place many different views of a building or product before the user in a very short period of time.

And using the cloud can give designers 20 different options of how a design will function in the real world in just hours rather than days.

Mr. Bass demonstrated these capabilities at the conference as well as unveiling several new cloud and mobile products. They included the next generation of civil infrastructure design software and a comprehensive cloud-based 3D modeling offering for mechanical and industrial design.

“From conceptual design, to simulation, to taking information to the factory floor or the construction site, all of this is being done today with our tools in the cloud,” he said.

Kingfisher Airlines Without Office in Mumbai Airport, will it remain an Airline ?




What will happen to an Indian airline if it has no office in one of the busiest airports in the country? It probably will become almost non-existent.  Kingfisher Airlines Without Office in Mumbai Airport, will it remain an Airline ?

For Kingfisher Airlines, however, it is a little bit different because it is already non-existent for consumers since it is not operating any flights now. But such a predicament is sure to jeopardise its attempts to get back on its feet.

The airline, which has not paid dues for over a year now, owes Rs 22 crore to the airport, the report said quoting sources. AFP
According to a report in the Economic Times, Mumbai International Airport is considering slapping an eviction notice on the airline to forcibly vacate it from the 19,000 sq ft space it occupies in the airport’s Terminal IA.

Interestingly, a senior Kingfisher official has told the newspaper that the company is actually surrendering 15,000 sq ft as it is not operating any flight for the time being and as it is unlikely to operate the full schedule in the near term.

The airline, which has not paid dues for over a year now, owes Rs 22 crore to the airport, the report said quoting sources.

Kingfisher had made peace with its agitating staff earlier last month but is yet to resume its operations.

Kingfisher has more than Rs 7,000 crore debt and bankers have said that they will take a decision on giving further funds to the cash-starved airline only after Mallya infuses capital.

A PTI report had said last week that bankers were still waiting for a revival plan from Mallya.
However, banks have not yet taken any steps towards debt recovery.

The airlines’ revival is getting delayed inordinately as there are a lot of issues the company needs to sort out before it starts operations.

An earlier report in The Economic Times had said airline officials have not been able to sort out scores of regulatory issues that are imperative for it to resume operations.

A PTI report said the staff had also threatened to approach regulator DGCA if they were not paid the May salary on Friday.
