It is the nation's first deadly crash of a commercial plane in more than 2 years. Continental connection flight 3407
dropping out of the sky near Buffalo, New York on a flight from Newark, New Jersy, killing 49 on board and 1 on the
ground. The twin-engine turboprop was operated by Virginia-based Colgan Air for Continental Airlines.

 The plane Bombardier Dash 8 Q-400, like this one is made in Canada. According to the manufacturer, it can carry
between 68 and 78 pasengers, 2 pilot, and either 2 or 3 flight attendants. (피나클 항공사 대표자) "The aircraft is a
new airplane. It's what we call a next-generation turboprop, very very modern. It's an aicraft that has had flawless
service. So no, no indications any problems with the aircraft."

 It is too early to pinpoint a cause but some pilots in the area reported picking up ice on their wings, which can
interfer with a plane's performance. Another turboprop made by another company crashed in Indiana in 1994, killing 68.
Investigators said ice on the wings caused the American Eagle plane to suddenly roll. Bombardier says the Q-400 has
the most advanced turboprop engine in production making the plane competitive with so-called regional jets that most
airlines use for shorter flights.

 Michael Phelps has found himself in hot water after a photo surfaced in a British newspaper showing him
inhailing from a water pipe commonly used to smoke Marijuana. The British tabloid, News of the World, reports
the photo was taken at a home party at the University of South Carolina last November, while phelps was on
a break from training.

 The photo has forced the Olympic champion to apologize for behavior that he says was "regrettable and
demonstrated bad judgement". He adds that he has acted in a "youthful and inappropriate way" and promises
it won't happen again. It's not the first time Phelps has been forced to issue a post-Olympic apology. After
the 2004 games, Phelps was arrested for druken driving.

 The U.S. Olympic committee says Phelps failed to live up to his reponsibilities as a role model after winning
a record 8 gold medals in last year's Beijing Games. Phelps had planned to attend Sunday's Suprer Bowl in
Tampa, Florida, but left the city before the game after the making promotional appearances on behalf of a sponsor.
Phleps hopes to earn 100 million dollars in endorsements.

 Federal authorities may have a fresh lead in the fatal 1982 Tylenol poisonings. On Wednesday, agent spent
several hours at the Boston home of a man linked to the deaths of seven Chicago area people who took cyanide
laced pills. Investigators wouldn't say exactly what brought them here, but they loaded several boxes into a
truck before they leaving the area.

 No one has ever been charged in the killings, but James Lewis served 12 years in prison for sending an
extortion note to Johnson & Johnson, the maker of Tylenol demanding 1 million dollars to quote stop the
killings. At the time of his arrest, he gave investigators a detailed account of how someone could buy
medicine, use a special method to add cyanid to the capsules and return them to store shelves.

 While he admitted to sending the letter, Lewis maintains he wasn't responsible for the poisonings. Joshnson
& Johnson was forced to remove more than a quarter million bottles of Tylenol from store shelves following
the 3 day scare. The company reintroduced the medicine in temper-proof bottle a few months later leading to
a new standard for a food and drug packaging.

 From her love of bold colors to her penchant for figure-hugging silhouettes, Michelle Obama is the first
lady fashion designer and style watchers have been waiting for. known for wearing everything from top desingers
, like Narcisco Rodriguez, to off-the-rack pieces from J Crew and Target, Obama is all at once the latest
American style icon and the "everywoman". "Her style is one of a fresh new attitude. she is young, she is
modern, I think she is very practical with the way that she dresses and I also think that she is going to
bring a new American vision to the way people dress."

 Many say just like Jackie kennedy did when she entered the White House in 1961. Like kennedy, Obama's staples
include the sleeveless sheath dress, short strands pearls and let's not forget the brooch. But unlike
the couture wearing Kennedy, the next first lady is more populist in her fashion style, often favoring lesser
known, pocketbook friendly designers and chain-store pieces accessible to all. "I think she really has good
taste. I think she appreciates good clothes. But she doesn't necessarily spend a lot of money on clothes.
She is making selections in a very fresh way, in a very interesting way and in a modern way. The way American
woman dress."

 And American women are paying close attention when Obama showed up on ABC's "The view" in June, wearing
a $148, off-the-rack dress, it flew off the shelves, selling out completely within 24-hours. In fact, demand
is so hot for information about Obama's outfits, there is now a website Mrs-O.org dedicated solely to
Mrs.Obama's fashion choices. "If a woman understands her body and her position in life, she can dress in so
many great things and I think Michelle is going to be a wonderful example to all of us with that." Some call
Obama's look "modern elegance". Others have dubbed it "recession-chic". Whatever you call it, trend watchers
predict the future first lady's style will be the look to emulate in 2009.
