4-5 climbers feared missing after avalanche sweeps Mount Everest ahead of peak season
KATMANDU, Nepal – About five climbers are feared buried by an avalanche that swept the slopes of Mount Everest on Friday and hit a route used to assent the world's highest peak, officials said.
The avalanche hit the area just below Camp 2 around 6:30 a.m. Friday, said Nepal Tourism Ministry official Madhu Sudan Burlakoti. Rescuers and fellow climbers at the base camp headed to the area to help. A helicopter was also sent from Katmandu.
Four or five climbers are believed to have been buried and more injured by the avalanche, said Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association. He said that the area where the avalanche occurred is nicknamed the "popcorn field," which is just below Camp 2 at 6,400 meters (21,000 feet).
Hundreds of climbers, their guides and support guides had gathered at the base camp, gearing up for their final attempt to scale the 8,850-meter (29,035-foot) peak early next month when weather conditions get favorable. They have been setting up their camps at higher altitudes and guides fixing routes and ropes on the slopes ahead of the final ascent to the summit in May.
Nepal had earlier announced several steps this year to better manage the flow of climbers, minimize congestion and speed up rescue operations. The preparations included the dispatch of officials and security personnel to the base camp located at 5,300 meters (17,380 feet), where they would stay throughout the spring climbing season that ends in May.
More than 4,000 climbers have scaled the summit since 1953, when it was first conquered by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Hundreds of others have died in the attempt.

Team Ratings
Real Madrid
Diego López
There was nothing he could do to prevent Welbeck heading United into the lead, but he raced off his line bravely to prevent the England forward from meeting Van Persie's cross later in the first half. In a match of strong goalkeeping, he played his part with a decisive display that minimised the potential effect of the absence of Iker Casillas.
R. Varane
One poor header back to his goalkeeper aside, he performed with a confidence that defied his relative inexperience at age 19 and distributed the ball from defence calmly. That said, he was extremely lucky to escape punishment for a foul on Evra when the left-back might have advanced on Diego Lopez.
Sergio Ramos
Failed to cope with the explosiveness of Welbeck when the striker headed United into the lead. The movement of the visitors' forwards gave them a potent counter-attack but Ramos was generally able to shepherd shooters into difficult positions, even if the Red Devils' forays were not always cut out at the source.
Fábio Coentrão
Got forward to good effect from left-back and was twice denied a goal by De Gea's brilliant athleticism. Effective in forcing Rooney to spend more time tracking back than attacking.
Contributed little to Real Madrid's attack as he had plenty to think about in a defensive capacity, with the interchanging and overlapping of Kagawa, Van Persie and Welbeck sometimes stretching him. Came into the game more as United retreated deeper and deeper, but played little more than a supporting role on the right.
Xabi Alonso
United sat deep in defence so he found passing into the space behind the back four difficult, and was limited to spreading the ball to the flanks. Demonstrated his quick-thinking by releasing Ozil with one brilliant long pass from a free kick.
S. Khedira
A useful physical presence in midfield, recycling possession for the most part but also possessing the ability to power through the middle. De Gea did well to stop one half-volley from 20 yards.
Á. di María
It was a surprise to see him substituted, as he had cut across the penalty area repeatedly to engineer shooting opportunities only to be regularly thwarted by De Gea. Also supplied the cross from which Ronaldo levelled the score.
M. Özil
Drifted in between the lines to good effect and was the main route of Real Madrid's play through midfield. His agility and ability to create angles is a joy to behold and he worked some good openings that were not taken advantage of by the home team.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Brought his team level with a wonderful header after a phenomenal leap that drew his knees level with the helpless Evra's head. Might have added to his tally in similar circumstances but nodded wide under pressure from Evans. His main contributions came in his physicality, as he used the aforementioned aerial dominance to bring others into play.
K. Benzema
Largely ineffective during his hour on the field. Contributed little to the build-up play, instead electing to sniff out opportunities in the penalty area, but saw little of the ball.
Manchester United
De Gea
Made a sublime save to deny Coentrao in the first half but and, in less orthodox but equally brilliant fashion, frustrated the left-back again with a tremendous block with his feet at the back post. Did not let his team down on his return to his home city.
P. Jones
Continues to prove his credentials as an accomplished defensive specialist, sitting in midfield with Carrick and anticipating and snuffing out Real Madrid counter-attacks. Seems to be increasingly gaining the trust of his manager and on this evidence it is easy to see why. The only real blemish was a questionable barge on Di Maria in the box that he got away with.
P. Evra
Should never have been allowed to be left alone with Ronaldo at the back post, and was powerless to resist the Portuguese star in the air. Rushed up and down the left flank but did not have a great deal of joy in an attacking sense, although he was extremely unlucky that Varane was not punished for a trip when he might have raced through on goal.
Sir Alex Ferguson had spoken of the Brazilian defender's fearlessness before this fixture but that translated into over-exuberance in the early stages. He was too aggressive in the tackle and often drawn out of position and unsurprisingly booked as a result in the first half. More settled as the match progressed.
R. Ferdinand
Made a brave sliding challenge to deny Ronaldo when he attacked a low cross into the six-yard box. Kept most of the play in front of him and ensured nothing fell to Benzema in the box.
S. Kagawa
Looked the player most likely to stretch the Real Madrid defence, making several good runs to latch on to the service provided by Van Persie. But he was sometimes slow in getting his shots away and usually crowded out by the home defence.
M. Carrick
Did not have much chance to influence the game in an attacking sense as he spent most of his time in the United half, but was sensible in his use of the ball and stayed in position to shield Ferdinand and Evans.
D. Welbeck
Almost allowed a free role behind Van Persie and his physicality was effective. Shook off Ramos to flick a header across goal to open the scoring and was inches away from adding a second when he stretched to get a touch to Van Persie's tantalising cross.
R. van Persie
An unselfish display but will rue the chance he missed to give United a 2-1 lead. He will not receive many more clear-cut openings in the Champions League this season but failed to get good contact on his shot from 10 yards and left Alonso with enough time to clear off the line. Otherwise, he held the ball well and brought his team-mates into play with some excellent passing.
W. Rooney
Mainly restricted to simple lay-offs and hopeful long balls to Van Persie. Defended diligently for the most part but you could sense he was frustrated not to be able to exhibit more of his ability as an attacker.
L. Modrić
Introduced for the last 15 minutes and nearly crafted the winning goal when his low cross was just swept away from the preying Ronaldo.
G. Higuaín
Replaced Benzema but was not much more effective, only really getting sight of goal when he dropped off to pick up the ball from deeper positions.
A. Valencia
Gave United a new outlet on the right flank and raced up and down the wing diligently, but could not engineer any chances of note.
R. Giggs
Tightened the United midfield by sitting deeper and narrower than Kagawa had done, but took too long in releasing the ball when presented with a good chance in the Real Madrid penalty area late in the game.

Let's face it, the odds are long.
The last two games remind us how fragile things could be. Game 3 is the turning point of the Series, but the Phillies scored in the first and ninth innings with the benefit of a wild pitch putting the runner in scoring position.
A lot has happened to the Rays, but mostly their offense has disappeared since the end of Game 5 of the ALCS with Boston.
I'll be blogging Game 5 with the hope it is compelling enough to where I won't switch over to watch Peyton Manning. Join me tonight at 8.-JD

Put a Stop to 'Do I Look Fat?'
When One Partner Is Overweight, Resolving Conflict in the Relationship Takes Two
Betsy and Jarom Schow agree that the biggest problem they've faced in 12 years of marriage isn't money, sex or parenting. It's weight.
Ms. Schow, 31 years old, was heavy for much of her life. When she was growing up, her family ate a lot of processed foods and takeout, and she rarely exercised, she recalls. In school, children "mooed" at her when she walked by. She started her first diet at age 12.

I love history. It has always been more than a hobby for me — it's a passion.
I love history. It has always been more than a hobby for me — it's a passion.
But when I talk about my love of history, I'm not speaking so much about who did what to whom where or when. Rather, I'm fascinated by the grand sweep of ideas that emerge, gain popularity or ebb from memory, only to return, perhaps generations later.
The Revolutionary War and the first decades of America's existence have always been my favorite era. With words like "These are the times that try men's souls," "When in the course of human events" and "We the People," a generation of men fused the thinking of older philosophers, like John Locke, with new and revolutionary ideas to create a totally new form of government — the greatest democracy the world has known.
In our current political environment, both the Republicans and Democrats are harkening back to the ideals of our early history to make their case to the voters. With this thought, I was interested in taking a second look at exactly what those ideals were and how each side matched up with the rhetoric we are hearing today. This is all part of the continuing ebb and flow of political discourse in our history.
The tea party, for instance, rose to prominence on the notion of a smaller federal government — it favors sending responsibility for almost all activities back to the states. The Founding Fathers actually started out thinking the same way. Immediately after the Revolution, they organized the country around the Articles of Confederation, giving states the stronger powers. However, it only took six years for them to realize it wasn't working out so well. They then wrote the Constitution, creating a stronger federal government. But how much power, and how much authority, should that government have? We are still discussing this same topic, much as they did more than 200 years ago.
Recently, the phrase "You didn't build that" has caused a lot of comment. President Barack Obama said his intent was to refer to the infrastructure that supported small businesses, not the businesses themselves. At the same time, many small-business owners avowed that, yes indeed, they had built their businesses by themselves.
At least one Founding Father would beg to differ. Thomas Paine was the author of "Common Sense," the call to arms that gave voice to the colonists' complaints and united them to the cause of revolution. In 1797, Paine published another pamphlet called "Agrarian Justice." Paraphrasing, Paine said that, beyond what a man can build with his own two hands, he owes his accumulation of wealth to society, and owes a debt back to the society that helped him produce that wealth.
Paine's proposal was a 10 percent tax on inherited property to assist the poor of his time. He suggested amounts be given to the elderly and the "lame and blind."
All this should sound very familiar to the modern reader: We are talking about paying a fair share via redistribution, a sense of communal responsibility for the population, and social security. They are all issues we are facing today, and again, we can see how the same problems continue to occupy our political landscape.
Or let's take a look at health care. The Affordable Health Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, seeks to provide universal heath care coverage by using a mandate so everyone signs up.
This is probably the most controversial issue in the current election cycle. But a new idea? Hardly.
In 1798, Congress passed "An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen." In short, this act mandated that all private merchant ship seamen carry health insurance as a prerequisite to working. The seamen's pay was taxed to the tune of 20 cents a month to pay for it. This was required health insurance, with a mandate to pay for it. Again, this should have a very familiar ring to it.
Thomas Jefferson was president of the Senate and Jonathan Dayton of New Jersey (the youngest signer of the Constitution) was speaker of the House when President John Adams signed this bill into law. There was no doubt in their minds that the framers of the Constitution would have supported it — they were the framers.
So there it is. In our current times, we are revisiting many of the ideas and policies our Founding Fathers grappled with. Via the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, private correspondence and laws signed during their presidencies, they acted on issues of the size of government, redistribution, social security for the elderly and disabled, and mandated health insurance.
Not so very different from our politics of today. But who knows what the next turn of the wheel will show, or when it will occur? The historical cycle continues to ebb and flow Dawn Kucera is a Hendersonville resident..

If you are like me, it's important to be alerted to speed traps and radar locations at all times. That's why I was excited to hear the folks at Beltronics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of stealth radar and laser detectors, have released a new PRO Series Radar and Laser Detector line.
Featuring improved range and performance, the new windshield mount PRO Series products use redesigned housings with a new soft touch black finish and an all-new look. And, while the new look is great, one of the key features of the PRO Series is the compatibility with Beltronics new "Escort Live™" real-time ticket protection network. The system uses Bluetooth connectivity in its SmartCord Live™ power cords and a special app for your iPhone or Android smartphone. When the detector registers an alert, the information is transmitted in real-time to the Live™ cloud and broadcast across the Live™ network, thereby alerting all Live™ connected devices to the location of the alert.
The new PRO Series includes four models ranging in price from $179 to $399. The top two models, the PRO500 and PRO300 have a 40% improvement in detection performance over the previous Professional Series products. The PRO500 even includes GPS location awareness, which allows the driver to identify mark and lock-out false alerts, as well as the pre-loaded Defender Database of existing red light and speed camera locations. By utilizing this type of leading-edge technology, drivers using PRO Series detectors are able to learn about threats sooner and have time to prepare for what lies ahead long before they are in range.
I've been a fan of the Beltronics products for 10 years and use several of them in my vehicles. In the last 40,000 miles of driving all over North America, I have yet to receive a speeding ticket (knock on wood). I don't think I'd be able to say that if I was out there driving blind to radar and laser threats. This "driving smarter" translates to driving safer.
For more information on all the Beltronics products, check them out online at www.beltronics.com.

The campaign finance system here has more holes than I-94 after a spring thaw. Big spenders and special interests can easily shovel millions of dollars into election activities — secretly if they choose. The lobby law is so weak that it was nearly impossible to determine which companies were spending millions to oppose construction of a new bridge. And the financial disclosure system for state elected officials?
Well actually, there isn't one.
Welcome to Michigan, the "Trust Us" State when it comes to transparency. Reform efforts are frequently launched, sometimes debated, always shelved. Meanwhile, special interests continue to make greater use of loopholes that allow them to influence the system without leaving fingerprints on the money spent doing it.
"It appears we're living with an honor system in an environment where there isn't much honor," said Rich Robinson, executive director of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, a nonpartisan watchdog group that tracks campaign spending and lobbying records.
All those factors help explain why the state earns a grade of 58 — an "F" — from the State Integrity Investigation, a collaborative project of the Center for Public Integrity, Global Integrity and Public Radio International. Overall, Michigan ranks 43rd among the 50 states.
The analysis of 330 indicators of state accountability measures shows that this state of almost 9.9 million residents has major flaws in tracking money spent to elect officials and shape policy. The set of laws regulating campaign spending, lobbyist activity, and financial disclosure guarantee essentially says to the public: Mind your own business.
Even so, Michigan's state government is not known for scandal. It gets many things right.

COLUMBUS, Ind. - Authorities say a man who led police on a 40-mile chase at speeds of up to 110 mph in southern Indiana has been charged preliminarily with driving while intoxicated with endangerment and resisting law enforcement.
Bartholomew County Sheriff's Maj. Todd Noblitt told The Republic (http://bit.ly/16kT6HU ) the chase began about 3:15 a.m. Thursday when a deputy tried to pull over a suspected drunken driver on Interstate 65. The driver sped off after letting a passenger out at a McDonald's.
The chase continued until the driver ran over stop sticks put out by Columbus police. Noblitt says the driver was arrested after placing an order at another McDonald's drive-thru.
Police identified the driver as 26-year-old James Thornburg of Savannah. He was being held on $20,000 bond at the Bartholomew County Jail.

Sounds promising for all types of gene therapy, no specific mention of MS.
Gene Therapy without Viruses: A new, highly effective polymer may make gene therapy safer.
Katherine Bourzac - Technology Review - The promise of gene therapy has long been held up by the lack of a safe and effective way to insert the desired therapeutic genes into the right cells. To solve that problem, MIT researchers have developed a new polymer for gene therapy that is as effective as viruses, the standard carriers, but it seems to have none of the risks of viral treatments. The researchers have successfully tested a version of the polymer in mice with ovarian cancer, and they believe they can further modify the polymer to target virtually any cell in the body.
Gene therapy works by delivering to a specific group of diseased cells copies of a gene that corrects what ails them. "If you could get it [a gene] where it's needed, you could treat many diseases," says the MIT Center for Cancer Research's Daniel Anderson, one of the leaders of the polymer research group.
The most effective way to get therapeutic genes to the right cells in the body has been by inserting them into viruses, which are then injected into patients. But a series of high-profile setbacks has raised questions about the safety of using viral vectors. Injections of these viruses have caused dangerous, and in several cases deadly, immune reactions in some patients. (See "The Glimmering Promise of Gene Therapy.") And one class of viruses used for gene therapy can cause leukemia. There are currently many viral gene therapies in clinical trials, but none have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
These problems in clinical trials using viruses have spurred researchers to search for synthetic alternatives for delivering gene therapy. "Polymers have been shown safe in people for years," says Robert Langer, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT and a pioneer in biomaterials research. The polymers under development by the MIT group are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and break down into harmless byproducts in the body. The kind of polymer used as a starting material by the MIT researchers naturally associates with DNA and can succeed in delivering genes into cells.
"They have something comparable [in effectiveness] to viruses," says David Putnam, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Cornell University. "No one has been able to achieve this."
The MIT researchers succeeded because they have developed rapid systems for developing and testing large numbers of polymers, says Putnam. "A lot of materials development is a numbers game," he explains, and the MIT group can design and test new polymers "an order of magnitude faster than everybody else."
The MIT researchers have previously used an unmodified version of the polymer to selectively deliver a suicide gene to prostate tumors in mice. For their current research, published last week in Advanced Materials, they experimented with making small chemical changes to the ends of the polymers.

The Tagliamento River
For some of Europe's leading universities and research centres, the river offers a rare opportunity to investigate natural processes at a scale that can be studied nowhere else in Europe.
This remarkable river corridor exemplifies the ecological processes and patterns that must have characterised Alpine rivers in their most pristine state.
Clearly, the Tagliamento is a river ecosystem of European importance. It is a unique resource and a model reference catchment.
But it is also a highly endangered ecosystem.
Despite its high degree of naturalness, the river is not without human impacts. Water abstraction in the upper Tagliamento valley, organic pollution, and gravel exploitation are threatening the integrity of the main river corridor. Many of its small tributaries contain drop structures built to inhibit erosion and channel incision.
The regional government is planning 14 km2 of large flood retention basins in one of the most natural sections of the river. If we want to protect one of the last naturally flowing rivers in the Alps, we need to act fast.
For the WWF European Alpine Programme, the Tagliamento river system is a symbol, a "panda of rivers", that deserves the highest protection. WWF is actively working to protect the Tagliamento.

It is with that notion in mind we find appeal in a bill filed by State Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton. But with one caveat.
Senate Bill 260 would enable communities "to protect and preserve subsurface archaeological deposits."
Stiles sponsored the bill during the last session of the Legislature. It passed muster in the Senate but died on a tie vote in the House.
Impetus for the bill came from an earlier controversy in Portsmouth. Historic artifacts were found and identified at the site of Portwalk, a downtown mixed-use development, as reported by the Portsmouth Herald.
Stiles cited the dig conducted at the Portwalk Phase 3 as an example of why the legislation is needed. The two-day dig, conducted by Independent Archaeological Consulting LLC, turned up several pieces of the city's past, some of which are believed to be around 200 years old, noted the Herald.
Controversy surrounded the initial discovery. As reported in 2009:
"Concerns from local and state archaeologists have prompted a federal preservation leader to ask the Environmental Protection Agency to look into whether developers of the Portwalk project followed due process in acquiring permits to begin work on the former Parade Mall site."
Those concerns involved federal law that requires certain projects go through a study of what historical artifacts might be compromised by a certain development.
A properly drafted SB 260 could avoid such conflicts by making them an integral part of the local planning process from the get-go.
But while the problems SB 260 looks to address are significant, we have to wonder about any added costs or roadblocks to development.
SB 260 would enable local legislative bodies, such as a city council, to adopt regulations that would allow planning boards to take action, when deemed suitable, to protect and preserve significant archaeological sites. Before exercising that authority, however, a planning board could adopt regulations providing for the protection of such deposits and sites, according to Stiles. The board could also ask a historic district panel to assist in adopting and applying such regulations.
All that is well and good, but the outstanding question remains: Who pays the bill?
If history is any guide it will be the developer who will be required to bear the added costs.
For those vested in the issue, Stiles' bill is needed. New Hampshire is a home rule state. Rights not specifically granted communities by the state constitution fall under the purview of the Legislature. It is therefore up to the Legislature to grant local communities jurisdiction.
But before that jurisdiction is granted there needs to be a discussion of financial liability and any limits that might go beyond those defined in federal law. SB 260 should not impose greater restrictions than currently exist. It should simply streamline the process to better ensure compliance at the local level.

CINCINNATI, OH (WSFA) - Former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville says he's making plans to attend Saturday's 78th Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. It will be his first Auburn game since he left the Tigers at the end of the 2008 season.
Tuberville, who currently coaches the Cincinnati Bearcats, confirmed his intentions Monday during the weekly teleconference for the ACC. His schedule will allow for the trip because the Bearcats have a bye week.
"Gus Malzahn, he's come in and revamped everything that's there," Tuberville said. "That game needed to come back to the forefront to make college football even that much more exciting."
Tuberville coached the Auburn Tigers in ten Iron Bowls, winning seven of them. The six wins between 2002-2007 set an Auburn record for number of consecutive wins over in-state rival Alabama.
Looking back over the decade of football he coached on the Plains, Tuberville said he felt the pressure, "of the entire Auburn family. "Hey, you've got to win this game for us. We need bragging rights..."," Tuberville explained, adding he said he was always, "anxious to get that game over with..."
The former coach says both Malzahn and Alabama's Nick Saban will feel that same pressure, regardless of the record. Tuberville admitted, though, that "this year is extra significant" for both teams.
The winner of the 78th Iron Bowl will be the SEC West champion, something the Iron Bowl has never decided. It will also mean one advances to the SEC Championship game and even possibly to the BCS National Championship game.
"I'm excited for all of them," Tuberville said. He has a personal stake in Auburn and it's not related to his years there. His son, Tucker, who used to stand on the sideline while his father worked, now wears an Auburn uniform.
Tucker won't be able to play this year, but that doesn't stop his father from being excited. "Coming back as a father, Thanksgiving weekend. I haven't seen my son all year, 7 or 8 weeks."
Tuberville coached for Texas Tech for three years following his time in Auburn. He left Tech for Cincinnati where he's currently 9-2 this season.
The Bearcats take on Louisville the Thursday after Thanksgiving.

Hurricanes snap skid in win over Jets
Winnipeg, MB – Eric Staal and Alexander Semin each came up with a goal and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes put the breaks on a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets at MTS Centre.
Justin Peters, making a third straight start in place of an injured Dan Ellis, turned away 34-of-35 shots to help Carolina pick up an important two points against the Southeast Division-leading Jets. The Hurricanes now trail Winnipeg by four points for first place.
Jussi Jokinen, placed on waivers by Carolina earlier in the week, also had a goal in his return to the lineup, while Tuomo Ruutu contributed two assists before exiting with a lower-body injury in the first period.
"We put 60 good minutes together tonight," said Hurricanes head coach Kirk Muller. "We didn't get away from our game, our leaders kept leading and all the guys contributed. That's what I think was really rewarding for the guys tonight."
Olli Jokinen had the lone goal for Winnipeg, which had handed the Hurricanes a 4-1 defeat in Raleigh on Tuesday, with Ondrej Pavelec finishing with 25 saves in the setback.
"We're still in the lead, so the division race will play itself out," Jets head coach Claude Noel said afterward. "We had an opportunity to extend the gap. No one's more disappointed than us. I'm sure everyone's disappointed. They didn't come here anticipating this (result) today."
Despite managing just seven shots to the Jets' 11 in the opening period, the Hurricanes went into the first intermission carrying a 2-0 lead on goals by Semin and Jussi Jokinen.
Carolina swiftly set the tone, with Staal speeding from behind the Winnipeg net on a wraparound attempt that Pavelec blocked. However, Semin fired home the loose puck to send the Hurricanes ahead just 1:06 into the contest.
Jussi Jokinen made it a two-goal advantage with Carolina on the power play near the midway mark of the frame, lifting a pinpoint cross-ice feed from Joni Pitkanen over Pavelec's shoulder with the Jets' Evander Kane in the box for a hooking infraction.
Winnipeg got the second period off to a far better start, as Kane rushed up the right side before centering the puck into the crease for Olli Jokinen's tip-in goal with 1:26 elapsed in the session.
The Jets were able to kill off a pair of brief two-man advantages by Carolina during the middle stanza to maintain a one-goal differential, but the Hurricanes struck quickly in the third to pad their lead.
A Staal shot from the right circle made its way through the pads of a screened Pavelec a mere 28 seconds into the period, putting Carolina up by a 3-1 count.
Peters stopped all 12 shots he faced over the final 20 minutes to sew up the Hurricanes' first win since March 12.
Game Notes
Carolina had lost six of the last eight meetings between the divisional foes, two of which occurred earlier this season ... Ellis missed a third straight game due to a cut near his left knee, while forward Chad LaRose (illness) sat out a second consecutive contest for the Hurricanes ... Carolina improved to 9-2-2 this season when scoring the game's first goal ... The road team has now prevailed in 15 of the 21 most recent meetings in the series ... Hurricanes forward Tim Brent participated in his 200th career NHL game.

I've finished my second Middle Imperial unit, a Cohort of the IIII Scythica. This legion was stationed in Syria, guarding the border with the Parthian and later the Sassanian Empires.
All the figures are from A&A miniatures, and some were bought painted on eBay, painted by a very capable painter (although I did the shields, with A&A transfers, and one hand painted). The shield design is based on the one found at Dura Europos.
I'm quite pleased with them! The tribune came out particularly well, do have a click. There are some shots here of the progress of the painting. I'll return to paint a third unit in a month or so.

Kuwait work permits, or iquamas, can only be obtained through Kuwaiti companies. The goverment gives each company/organization a certain amount of iquamas depending on the size/type of business of the organization. Once an iquama is issued for you-- then you get a civil id (residency)- which you need to rent an apartment etc .... That being said, you first step is to make your wishes known to your employer. They may have a branch/office in Kuwait or they may have contacts in Kuwait that would "set you up" with residency in Kuwait. My former neighbor was in your same situation. He wanted to live in Kuwait because he had children--the nearest English language school (besides the Indian School on the Saudi side) was in Fahaheel, Kuwait. His work permit was issued from Saudi-- I forget the name of his employer--but his company arranged for a Kuwaiti company to issue a work permit, and then residency, for himself, wife and children. PSS-- However, plesae note, that the cost of living is cheaper on the Saudi side. The husband does the weekly food shopping, etc on the Saudi side and apartments are a bit cheaper on the Saudi side also.

Bringing The Outdoors In: Birch Tree Decor
It's pretty easy to bring the outdoors in, but we usually all think of doing that in the same way. Either we always make sure there are fresh flowers or enough greenery in the house to trick ourselves into thinking we're in the jungle.
Birch trees are works of art that are just begging to be brought inside. The trees can be brought in and utilized in so many different ways, the possibilities are seriously endless. You can use the actual trees to create a unique space in the house by standing them up in a corner (as seen in image one) or you can incorporate the branches into actual furniture. Whimsical bed frames or unique end tables that will definitely start conversation.
Of course we've all seen and fallen in love with the birch tree wallpaper that has taken the interior world by storm. It's modern, unexpected and adds some serious personality to any room it's used in. The wallpaper (or even painted birch trees) works in all different rooms, not just nurseries!

Learning About the Environment Through Play
This season has been sort of drab up here, and it's been raining or just plain grey and cold lately. So I've been looking at different options for indoor entertainment, and since my son has been into board games, I figured I would find different games than the usual.
Here are a few games that make it fun to learn about recycling, gardening, the climate, and more.
1. Endango: This can be played as a cooperative game, and teaches about conservation.
2. Meltdown: The aim is to move a polar bear family to the mainland while the ice melts (literally). Looks like a lot of fun.
3. Bios Megafauna:You are a proto-mammal right after the apocalypse that wiped out 96% of the planet. You have to survive environmental changes. It can also be played alone, which is rare.
4. CO2: In this game you are a CEO of a power plant company faced with requests for green sustainable power. "The goal is to stop the increase of pollution, while meeting the rising demand for sustainable energy."
5. EcoFluxx: Mostly a card game, this one basically builds on sets of rules and goals for animals and environment.
6. Harvest Time: The name speaks for itself. Harvesting a garden before the end of the season and as a community.
7. What's Rubbish: This one also speaks for itself and teaches about recycling.
8. Bioviva: This game lets you travel throughout the world and discover the Earth.
9. Ethica: I put this one on the list for much older kids, age 15 and over. It seems like a very smart game exploring the world of finances and its impact on the environment and society.
10. Earthopoly: Instead of streets you get great locations to care for and get carbon credits that can be exchanged for clean air.

Open For Business Summit June 20, 2011
Regional Business Summit
Monday, June 20, 2011 7:00 am
Over 150 business and community leaders from across the region gathered at the Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando on Wednesday for the Regional Business Summit, hosted by Open For Business-Central Florida Coalition for Growth & Prosperity and the Central Florida Congress of Regional Leaders.
The Coalition was established to address the region's economic recovery. Focused first on identifying economic and regulatory barriers, this broad-based coalition represents thousands of employers in the eight-county Central Florida service footprint made up of Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia counties. Included on the Coalition's Organizing Committee are Associated Builders & Contractors, Central Florida Partnership, Florida Bankers Association, Home Builders Association of Metro Orlando, Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission, Orlando Regional REALTOR Association, and WORKFORCE CENTRAL FLORIDA.
Click here for more photos from this event.
Presented during the Summit was current research and specific recommendations on how we can best address the regulatory and government barriers impacting business growth in our region. These recommendations are based on input from 900 surveys collected over nine days from business & community leaders and elected officials across eight counties of Central Florida. It was also noted that approximately 350 individual ideas and comments were provided by respondents.
Common themes that surfaced in the research were the political diversity of respondents, the fact that most companies do business in at least four of the counties in our region, the importance of regionalism, that business leaders are cautiously optimistic, and that most agree that Central Florida is moving in the right direction, with improvement expected next year.
Three specific action items were identified where the creation of regional solutions would significantly help to move Central Floridas economic recovery forward: Creating Access to Capital; Streamlining Permitting and Licensing; and Reviewing Transactional Fees.
Suggestions and best practices provided during the Summit that could be advanced on a regional basis included:
Creating Access to Capital Opportunities to further leverage non-profits and faith-based organizations to provide training and counseling on foreclosure issues; reduction of regulation on foreclosures which slow movement of homes back to market; and down payment assistance programs which are a critical piece to financing, as well as the role of the Federal Reserve Bank in the mortgage crisis.
Streamlining Permitting and Licensing The need for a simplified, nimble, accelerated, permitting process (S.N.A.P. Brevard County); the creation of a regional permitting scorecard for cities and counties that would certify demonstrated excellence in streamlining the building and site permitting process; new one-stop-shopping for permitting in Orange County which adheres to the countys mission to serve and on line permitting, where possible, that reduces time and duplication of effort.
Reviewing Transactional Fees Many transaction fees today are still based on the property values and expected growth prior to the economic recession. The formulas should be reviewed and adjusted to encourage regional economic activity.
Stephen L. Precourt
As part of the program four special guests provided commentary on what was presented. The Honorable Stephen L. Precourt, Chair of the House Finance and Tax Committee, Florida House of Representatives (Dist. 41) emphasized the importance of initiatives in the Legislature to remove state barriers and encourage local control. He recommended the prioritization of resources, as well as the identification of specific actions and advocates in the Legislature, supported at home by the business community.
Adding to the community conversation were The Honorable Candace Lankford, Volusia County School Board; Robert M. Spooney, African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida; and Bud Beucher, CEO of Mission Inn in Lake County who commented that It was a real pleasure to hear from Summit speakers. But, lets not forget the most fundamental item. That is the sustainability of the small business owner, who by all accounts employs about three-fourths of all workers.
Bud Beucher
He added, "Our family has been in Central Florida since the early sixties. We have a great story to tell Grandfather had a 5th grade education, our father had one year of college. We came to Howey-in-the-Hills in 1964, purchasing 168 acres of land and growing our business from a handful of staff to over 240 today; unfortunately, this is down from 325. We are living the American dream no hand outs, no entitlements. We have never missed a payroll or failed to pay a bill."
"But these are very exceptional times; the struggle is still in front of us," Beucher continued. "Most small businesses started our own cost control actions as much as 4 1/2 years ago. So it is over the top to expect the other half, the government sector, to be part of the solution too? If we believe in the American system then we know the small business person will be what gets us out this Great Recession."
The outcome of the Regional Business Summit is the formation of three Regional Work Groups. These Work Groups will be geographically-based, representing the public and private sectors, staffed by members of the Open for Business Organizing Committee.
"Streamline Permitting and Licensing" Work Group
Mr. Mark P. Wylie
Mr. Jacob V. Stuart
"Review Transactional Fees" Work Group
Ms. Elizabeth McGee
"Create Access to Capital" Work Group
Mr. Michael Kidd
Mr. Brian Walters
It is estimated that each Work Groups will consist of 10-15 members who will meet at their own determination over the next 3-4 months, with the goal being to make recommendations before the end of November, prior to the 2012 Legislative Session. These final recommendations will be presented to the Central Florida Congress of Regional Leaders and to the Organizing Committee, for adoption and proposed action.
Each Work Group will have two (2) Co-chairs; one from the public and one from the private sectors. Co-chairs and Members of each Work Groups will be appointed by the Organizing Committee and will set their own calendars of work, advancing the specific goals addressed today.
If you have an interest in serving on one of these Work Groups, please contact the designated staff shown above or a Member of the Organizing Committee.
