Putha Hiunchuli Expedition in Nepal 2012 & 2013 in Spring
Putha Hunchuli Mt. Putha Hiunchuli is one of the most beautiful mountain compare to other 7000m. high peaks of Nepal lies at western most peak of the Dhaulagiri range and is sometimes referred to as Dhaulagiri VII. It was first climbed in 1954 by Jimmy Roberts, a legendary explorer and climber. Mt. Dhaulagiri range is made up of some of the world's most impressive peaks. In this range, to the west of Annapurna South of Ganesh Himal, lies a long ridge at the end of which stands the serene Putha Hiunchuli. This mountain is the last 7000m. marking the end of the snow-capped range. Our trek begins at the trading town of Beni or from Juphal -Dunai, which is about a week's walk away from the German Base Camp situated at an altitude of 4,525m. The landscape during the approach walk is as enchanting as it is unique a mineral world made of high cliffs and deep canyons.
According to the book 'High Asia', Jimmy Roberts did a reconnaissance of the Dhaulagiri massif in 1954. During the trip he and Ang Nyima climbed Putha Hinchuli 7246m. (alias Dhaulagiri VII) via its northeast face. It appeared from the map that this face is most accessible from the Kaya Khola, a side-stream of the Barbung Khola which is directly across the valley from Kakkot. This mountain offers those climbers who like to climb 7000m. Mountain in Nepal to have experience technically and physically to get over 8000m. Mountains summit in day to come.

Experience Required
To join the Everest team you will need to have extensive mountaineering experience. This should include previous high altitude experience of at least 6,000 metres, mixed with a multitude of Alpine mountaineering and, preferably, you will have taken part in a previous 8,000-metre expedition.
We have found that those who have been to an 8,000-metre peak previously have a considerably better chance of getting to the top of Everest. We would strongly advise you to climb one of the other 8,000 metre peaks before going to Everest, as this is the best way of ensuring the money you spend on Everest will be rewarded by a successful ascent and a safe return home. Exceptionally, however, climbers who have not had the chance of climbing an 8,000 metre peak may consider Everest if they have a compensating depth of experience, that might include many alternative expeditions such as Huascaran, Illimani, Denali, or Muztag Ata. We do not consider an ascent of Aconcagua, by itself, to be suitable preparation for Everest and would not accept a booking on this basis.
Although fixed ropes will be used where appropriate, expedition members must have the ability to climb Alpine routes graded AD, or equivalent. All team members must be competent mountaineers and self-sufficient with the ability to move between and to live in high mountain camps un-aided or supervised.
In the extreme, we will be looking for some assurance that climbers would be able to survive being storm-bound in a tent at 8,000 metres for as long as 5 days, without significant detriment to their health and well-being such that at the end of such a storm, they return safely.
We are professionally-led teams of competent mountaineers who each have enough experience to climb the world's highest mountain, under the supervision and leadership of an accomplished and experienced high-altitude leader.
Our Everest expeditions are not "guided" because this is not a realistic proposition in the high-altitude realm of 8,000 metres and above. "Guiding" and being "guided" implies the intimate supervision and care of a "client" by a "Guide" who can be responsible for the direct and immediate control of safety, as is normally and traditionally practised in the Alps. On Everest, such a direct duty-of-care, implicit in the traditional guide-client relationship, is not possible. Instead, We accepts team members that, with a combination of their past experience, balanced with a strong team around them and highly experienced leaders, are empowered to reach the top of the world. This ensures you have the support that you need dependent on your own abilities. You can leverage your current experience and how you feel on the mountain, with the independence to move between camps and optimise your schedule on a day-by-day basis. And when you need additional support and advice, Leaders and Sherpas are there to assist and advise you on your ascent.
Medical Cover
All of our leaders are trained in first-aid and have a good knowledge of high altitude medical problems. The expedition will be equipped with the following:
- A well stocked first aid and medical kit sufficient to counter any possible mountaineering ailments, from headache to serious injury.
- Oxygen equipment for medical use only.
- A portable hyperbaric chamber (Gamow bag)
- Emergency communications on the mountain and satellite communications link for helicopter evacuation (see below).
We will also enrol all team members into the medical facility provided by the Himalayan Rescue Association. This has featured in the BBC documentary, "Everest ER". It is staffed by doctors (Usually Brits or Americans), and by enrolling all team members for a fee (paid by us), we ensure free access to the doctors for all of our Sherpas.
Our tour prices do not include insurance however it is a condition of joining our tours that travelers are fully insured for any medical expenses they might incur while traveling. At the start of your tour the Tour Leader will ask to see your insurance document and will note down the policy number and emergency contact number.
We recommended a comprehensive travel insurance policy that covers repatriation and evacuation in case of a medical emergency, cancellation and curtailment as well as baggage and valuables, If your tour involves certain adventurous activates (I.e. trekking, white water rafting or scuba diving etc) You will need to make sure your policy specifically covers these activates. You may also need specific cover for expensive camera equipment. Many credit card companies offer "complementary travel insurance" however the majority of such policies offer virtually no cover and will not be accepted as adequate travel insurance. If you are planning on using credit card insurance you must bring along proof that the policy covers medical emergencies. Failure to be able to provide such proof to the Tour Leader will result in you being compelled to purchase a new approved policy before you can join the tour.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any vaccinations, Precautionary or preventative Medicines for the countries you are visiting – or any which may be required by your home country upon your return. To find out which, if any, Vaccinations are mandatory or recommended for your destination Contact your local doctor, Immunization Centre or Medical Centre for up-to-date information. If you need to arrange vaccinations or a supply of preventative medicine (e.g. Malaria tablets), you should Contact your doctor at least two Months before you depart. Some Inoculations require more than one Visit and can take several weeks to Administer. CARRY YOUR CERTIFICATE
You should be issued with an International Certificate of Vaccination for each vaccination. Always carry these with you on your travels; they could provide essential information for doctors in the event that you fall ill whilst traveling.
Malaria is common in many parts of Africa, Asia and South America. Protection is in the form of tablets, taken either daily or weekly, or both. The course of tablets should normally begin 1-2 weeks before you depart, Continue throughout your travels and for 4 weeks after your return. Although you can obtain tablets from most pharmacies without prescription,
you must check that they are Appropriate for the area you are Visiting. There are many different Strains of malaria and a large number of them are drug-resistant. It may be Necessary for you to take a Combination of tablets for the region you are visiting.
No malaria tablets guarantee complete protection. The most Effective protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten. Mosquitoes Mostly bite at dusk and dawn so one of the best ways to minimize the Chance of being bitten is to wear long Trousers, long sleeves and socks at these times. You should take a good insect repellent and apply it liberally. Repellents with a high concentration of DEET (at least 35%) are generally considered the most effective.
Sampling the local food and drink is often one of the highlights of traveling. In most cases the food is Freshly prepared for you and is completely safe to eat, however it will probably contain ingredients that you are not familiar with or may be Prepared in a different way. This change in diet is one of the most common causes of travelers diarrhea. You can reduce the likelihood of suffering diarrhea if you treat food and drink with caution – at least in the early stages of your travels. In almost every country it is possible to buy bottled water. This is usually very cheap and a lot more convenient than trying to purify or filter tap water. Beware of ice in drinks and make sure you wash your hands frequenty.
In general we do not recommend the use of anti-diarrhea pills as in most Cases they do not cure the problem, they merely put it on hold. However, there are of course situations where 'Blocking up' may be desirable, for Instance if you are embarking on a long bus ride. Diarrhoea which lasts for longer than 48-72 hours, shows signs of blood or Mucus or which is concurrent with other symptoms, such as a headache or high temperature, should always be taken seriously. Seek medical advice
(your Tour Leader can assist you with this).
In deserts, in the tropics and at high Altitude, your body can lose a lot of water. Dehydration also occurs when you are suffering from diarrhoea. The best way to avoid dehydration is to drink plenty of fluids. In most countries you can obtain "rehydration salts" or "electrolyte Solution". Although these do not taste great, they restore the salts lost by your body. You can also make your own rehydration mixture by adding 4 tablespoons of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt to one liter of clean water.
Emergency & Rescue
Trekkers should be aware that there is very little in the way of rescue organization for handling trekker's emergencies in Nepal. If you are trekking with a reputable trekking agency then their staff will be trained to handle most contingencies. if you are traveling independently then you will have to rely on your own initiative to handle any problems. This is why trekking alone is foolhardy in the extreme.
At all times try to be aware of the location of possible sources of help, medical clinics, police or army posts etc. Try to find out where there are working telephones or radios as you pass along the trails.
At all times try to be aware of the location of possible sources of help, medical clinics, police or army posts etc. Try to find out where there are working telephones or radios as you pass along the trails. All trekkers should make sure that they are covered by a suitable travel insurance policy. This, at least, must cover the cost of a helicopter rescue, which is the only practical way of evacuating a seriously ill or injured patient from most of the trekking areas. It is essential to leave details of this policy with a responsible agency in Kathmandu. Either your trekking agency or your embassies are the obvious choices. Registering your details and intended plans with your embassy in Kathmandu is an extremely sensible step to take.
In the event that you do have a problem, and that problem cannot be solved with the resources at hand, then communications facilities must be located. Telephones or radios can be hard to find and may be a day or more away from the incident site. If it is possible to send a reliable person for help make sure that a note is sent detailing the location of the patient, the problem being experienced, specifying what help is needed. List what actions you are going to take in the interim. Fortunately, these days, helicopters are readily available, at a price, from Kathmandu and Pokhara. If a message can be sent then it is likely that a rescue can be mounted reasonably quickly.

April 14, 2010
A walk-off double by Brian Lares in the bottom of the ninth inning scored PJ Tyson from second to give Wabash an 8-7 win over DePauw Wednesday night at Mud Hollow Field.
Tyson tied the game with his single, scoring Dave Seibel after the junior third baseman opened the inning with a bloop single to right center. Joe Johnson laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt down the first base line to move Seibel to second. Tyson moved to second on the throw home in an attempt to throw out Seibel at the plate, setting up the final hit of the game for Lares.
"Last year we were really dependent as a team on (Matt) Dodaro and (Jake) Thomas," Lares said. "This year everyone in our lineup --- one through nine --- can hurt you. If you look at our individual numbers, we have two players with more than 40 hits and five with more than 30. Someone will make that key hit. It doesn't matter where you bat in the lineup. Tonight it was the six, seven, and eight, and nine hitters doing their job and getting on base.
"There was no pressure on me when I came to the plate. The pressure was all on DePauw. Seibel, Johnson, and Tyson set the table. I got a pitch to hit, and just did my part."
The Tigers took an early 2-0 lead before Wabash answered with a run in the first when Johnson's sacrifice fly scored Chris Deig. The Little Giants scored three runs in the third on two DePauw errors and a wild pitch with only one hit by Seibel to take a 4-3 lead.
DePauw rallied for five runs in the fourth before the Wabash relievers shut down the Tigers' bats over the final five innings. DePauw was held to two hits over the final five innings. Chris Widup worked the fifth inning, surrendering one hit and two walks before an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded finished the Tigers' scoring threat. Pete Schmith allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless sixth inning, while Brian Van Duyn walked two and struck out one in the seventh.
Andrew Swart was perfect in the eighth, throwing a total of 12 pitches to record two strikeouts and a foul out to Seibel at third.
Luke Zinsmaster picked up his second win of the season in relief, needing just 16 pitches to retire the Tigers in the ninth, giving up one walk while striking out one. Freshman Blake Mattingly started, going four innings with eight hits, seven earned runs, three walks, and four strikeouts.
While the Wabash pitching staff held DePauw in check in the late innings, the Little Giants battled their way back from a three-run deficit.
Wabash picked up a run in the fourth on back-to-back singles, followed by a double-play ground out that scored Tyson. Tyson was hit by pitch to open the eighth inning, moving to third on a single by Lares, and eventually drawing the Little Giants to within a run on a single by John Pennington. Wabash would load the bases with no outs in the eighth, but two straight strikeouts and a line out to third ended the threat.
Lares and Seibel each finished with three hits to pace the Wabash offense. Pennington had two RBI to go with two hits, while Tanner Coggins and Tyson each also finished with two hits. The Little Giants outhit DePauw 13-10 in the final box score.
Wabash (16-15) returns to North Coast Athletic Conference action this weekend with an important four-game series against Denison University.
"This gives us some good momentum going into the Denison series, especially after a disappointing late-inning loss at Earlham on Sunday," Head Coach Cory Stevens said. "I thought our guys battled tonight. We never lost focus being down for a majority of the game. We did what we had to do to win, not just swinging the bats but doing the little things like getting runners over with sac bunts and just playing heads-up baseball. Those are the same things we need to do this weekend against Denison."
The Little Giants and Denison begin the series with two games Saturday at Mud Hollow Field beginning at 1 p.m. The two teams meet again Sunday afternoon beginning with the first of two seven-inning contests at 1 p.m.

ROCHESTER, MN — Don't put away that tape measure yet. Body mass index (BMI), the standard measure of obesity used by many professionals in the fitness and health industry, is flawed and should be changed, according to recent research at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, MN. BMI, calculated using height and weight measurements, is not as accurate as it should be, and other more accurate measures are available, the researchers said in an August article in the Lancet medical journal.
Researchers looked at data from 40 studies of 250,000 people with heart disease. They found that patients with high BMIs had fewer heart problems and better survival rates than those with normal BMIs, and patients with low BMIs had higher risks of death from heart disease than those with normal BMIs.
Another article in that issue of Lancet suggested that the waist-to-hip test was the best predictor of heart attack risk.

ISSUE: Continued stability of the U.S. aerospace and defense (A&D) industrial base is critical to our economy, national security, infrastructure, and future workforce. The A&D industry is facing one of its greatest challenges in history as Congress and the Administration deal with mounting national debt and the need to balance the federal budget. All federal agencies face significant budget reductions, with the Department of Defense (DoD) potentially bearing the biggest burden. While all areas must be examined to identify unnecessary spending that can be reduced or eliminated to help lower the federal budget deficit and national debt, we must make sure that the nation's future is not mortgaged to address today's crisis.The aerospace and defense industry employs more than one million people. Annual sales are nearly $331 billion and the industry supports more than two million middle-class jobs. Aerospace sales alone account for $77.5 billion in exports, providing the economy with a foreign trade surplus of more than $50 billion. Conservatively, U.S. aerospace sales account for three to five percent of our country's gross domestic product (GDP). The industry's workforce is highly skilled and leads our nation in global competitiveness, providing current and future opportunities for young people to have high-paying careers that will keep the industry strong for the future while advancing our national and economic security.The A&D industrial base possesses unique capabilities and expertise required to address the unique and diverse missions required by both their civil and military customers. However, future U.S. space operational capabilities face industrial base challenges, both from reduced production capability and loss of supporting human expertise. The domino effect of reduced federal budgets will undoubtedly force some companies out of business and still others to significantly scale back, resulting in single-source suppliers, or perhaps no domestic supplier for items on the critical development path. If those capabilities are allowed to erode in this lean budget environment, this nation could become technologically bankrupt and unable to address future threats to our national security or economic stability when they arise.RECOMMENDATIONS: The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics recommends that:
ISSUE: A global economy, industrial participation requirements, and program costs are just a few of the reasons that a significant amount of the equipment in our commercial and military aerospace and defense (A&D) products come from outside the U.S. From a U.S. national security perspective, a March General Accounting Office (GAO) report found that counterfeit parts have the potential to "seriously disrupt the Department of Defense supply chain, delay missions and affect the integrity of weapon systems." On the commercial side, pressure to cut costs because of high fuel prices has pushed more MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) work offshore and forced repair shops to lower costs. As a result of lax regulation, limited oversight, and limited FAA resources, counterfeit and discarded parts are used during aircraft maintenance and modification. The FAA has estimated that some 520,000 counterfeit parts make their way into planes each year. With regard to electronic hardware, used in both military and commercial platforms as well as by their respective branches or companies, a 2010 report by the Department of Commerce (Bureau of Industry and Security) found serious flaws in the acquisition, verification and testing, and overall industry/government process for identifying and reporting counterfeit or malicious hardware. It also determined that 39% of the companies participating in the Department of Commerce (DoC) survey encountered counterfeit electronics, including DOD qualified components, during the four years under review.RECOMMENDATIONS: The U.S. government and industry need to work together to establish and implement a cohesive set of policies and procedures regarding counterfeit and malicious hardware. Recent reports by the Aerospace Industry Association (AIA), the DoC, and the GAO, provide several actionable recommendations that could be undertaken to address these issues. They include:
Referenced Documents:Counterfeit Parts: Increasing Awareness and Developing Countermeasures, March 2011, AIADEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE ASSESSMENT: COUNTERFEIT ELECTRONICS, JANUARY 2010, DoCINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – OBSERVATIONS ON EFFORTS TO QUANTIFY THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF COUNTERFEIT AND PIRATED GOODS, APRIL 2010, GAO (GAO-10-423)
ISSUE: "Pentagon to Consider Cyberattacks Acts of War." With this statement came an entirely new perspective on the importance of cybersecurity. State-sponsored DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) or Trojan horse attacks intended to infiltrate and retrieve data or passwords could now be addressed in the real world, on a state-to-state level, possibly with the use of conventional weapons. Attacks from individuals, loosely organized groups, and even state-sponsored organizations continue to probe for vulnerabilities in U.S. networks. Whether it takes the form of "cybercrime," accessing personal identification information (PII) for financial gain, or attacking networks and servers to access classified information or networks, the impact of allowing such vulnerabilities to go unchecked cannot be overstated. The U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT) reported that the number of attacks on critical U.S. government infrastructure rose from 5,503 in fiscal year 2006 to 41,776 in fiscal year 2010. This 650% increase highlights several issues related to U.S. cybersecurity. First is that the number of attacks has risen, and will continue to rise. Additionally, the need to continually update networks and software to address these attacks is going to require sufficient resources, both in terms of money and people. Constant vigilance must be paid to this area of U.S. policy as the level and sophistication of the threat continue to rise.RECOMMENDATIONS: Past General Accounting Office (GAO) reports on shortcomings of U.S. cybersecurity policy contained recommendations that still have not been implemented. Additionally, the ever-changing game board presents new and different challenges that must be adapted to. Recent attacks on aerospace and defense companies, financial institutions, and the U.S. government show that there are sustained and persistent threats to critical U.S. infrastructure, jeopardizing their ability to perform as intended or needed. In light of this evolving situation, the cybersecurity policy of the United States must also adapt. Specifically:
ISSUE: Academics and industry have long struggled with U.S. export-control regimes, which are divided among three agencies: the Department of Commerce licenses export and re-export "dual-use" commercial items (items and technologies those that have civilian and military applications) under the Export Administration Act (EAA) and described in several lists including the Commerce Control/ Critical Commodities List (CCL); the State Department administers technologies and services deemed to be military items under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), its International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the ITAR's United States Munitions List (USML) including satellite systems; and the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions. The exercise of controls by various agencies, with different agendas, imposes costs. Overlapping jurisdictions creates some confusion as to where specific items fall, even to administrators in the agencies. The problem of multiple forums is made worse by long license processing times. There is significant paperwork and time involved in submitting and processing license applications. In addition, sanctions can apply to specific companies as well as specific countries, and proliferating subsidiaries often make effective administration, and timely compliance, difficult. The complexity leaves many unsure as to what is covered and how to proceed. Efforts to change the laws have stalled due to anxieties over the theft and use of technologies used in missile, satellite, weapons of mass destruction, and other important systems.It is widely recognized that the current implementation of export regulations, including those applicable to actual exports as well as knowledge transfers, imposes high costs on firms, universities, and other organizations, often without a perceived commensurate benefit to the national security. Some argue the regulations restrict trade in information and goods tied to technologies that have already been replicated or surpassed by entitites outside of the U.S. that are not subject to the regulations. The result is an ongoing erosion of American competitiveness in the global economy through both a diminished industrial base and stifled innovation. These unintended and avoidable consequences impact the nation's long-term national security capabilities and its current and future prosperity. Potential industry partners overseas avoid collaborations that could become enmeshed in the U.S. regulatory snare. Further, U.S. companies are competing globally with foreign manufacturers that specifically market "ITAR-free" systems and components, and often lose market share needlessly for comparable products.RECOMMENDATIONS: AIAA recommends that the following actions be taken:
ISSUE: The federal aeronautics research, development, test & evaluation (RDT&E) infrastructure (addressed as part of the December 2007 National Plan for Aeronautics Research and Development and Related Infrastructure supporting the December 2006 National Aeronautics Research and Development Policy) is aging, operation and support costs are increasing, and Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) and Improvement and Modernization (I&M) investments have remained level or are declining. In addition, test programs are incentivized to utilize less effective and less capable facilities in the interest of reducing test costs, resulting in more capable ground and flight test facilities being underutilized and falling into a state of ever-decreasing readiness and repair.This has generated "a perfect storm" for federal facility owners and managers, who are continually being directed to do more with less – a dynamic further exacerbated by the fact that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Defense (DoD) individually own and have stewardship over the sub-elements of the federal aeronautics RDT&E infrastructure within their respective purviews. As a result, infrastructure investments are largely driven by owning Department or Agency priorities and needs, and not the greater national need. [An example of this is NASA's decision to close the National Full-Scale Aerodynamic Complex (NFAC) at its Ames Research Center in the early 2000's, despite a clear need for its sustainment to support the test needs of the DoD rotorcraft community.] A new management approach is needed that provides for shared stewardship of a facility or group of facilities by multiple federal departments and agencies (such as those facilities needed to support hypersonic ground and flight testing) so SLEP and I&M investments can be made by owning and non-owning parties having a vested interest in their sustainment.RECOMMENDATIONS: DoD and NASA should jointly
ISSUE: To remain relevant, sustain high-tech industrial sectors, improve economic viability, and employ new airborne systems, the United States must modernize the National Air Transportation System. Much of the current system operates under policies and technologies created more than 60 years ago, which does not account for new air platforms, system use capabilities, and modern technologies which can greatly enhance and improve efficiencies and the effectiveness of the current system. The current global recession has reduced current demand for air travel and cargo shipment. However, as economies improve and air system use increases, the current system is not capable of keeping up with demand, and we will witness an increase in unnecessary delays. We need to create a system that can accommodate emerging technologies such as unmanned aerial systems safely and seamlessly, and that can integrate new technologies and upgraded systems to improve the overall management of our airborne civil, commercial, and national security assets.In 2001, Congress saw the need to modernize the National Air Transportation System. Section 1092 of PL 106-398, the National Defense Authorization Act for FY2001, required the creation of a commission to examine the future of the U.S. aerospace industry. The focus of this study was to assess the U.S. aerospace industry in an ever more competitive global economy, particularly in the areas of U.S. national security and the sustainability of the industry. The commission, chaired by former Congressman Robert "Bob" Walker, provided several recommendations to sustain and enhance the viability of the nation's aerospace endeavors. The commission concluded that "superior mobility afforded by air transportation is a huge national asset and competitive advantage for the United States. Because of the tremendous benefits derived from a highly mobile citizenry and rapid cargo transport, the United States must make consistent and significant improvements to our nation's air transportation system a top priority."In January 2001, the European Union released their European Aeronautics: A Vision for 2020 report. This vision provided a blueprint for Europe to become the driving force and market for aerospace leadership. The highest priority in this plan consisted of an integrated next generation air transportation system that consisted of state-of-the-art positioning and guidance and navigation control technologies to allow for a complete modernization of their system. By leading in the implementation of these technologies and policies, the Europeans look to develop an industrial advantage over the U.S., other industrialized nations, and emerging nations, forcing others to adapt technologies and systems developed and manufactured within the EU. If the Vision 2020 is successful, it has the potential to force U.S. industries and even the federal government to conform to European policies and standards, and to decrease the competitiveness of several high-tech U.S. companies that employ a highly skilled and high salaried workforce.RECOMMENDATIONS: Congress should fund and accelerate the transformation of the National Air Transportation System. Specifically, Congress and the Administration should:
ISSUE: The U.S. Government must continue to invest in the nation's future by supporting aerospace research and development (R&D). R&D is the lifeblood of a healthy nation. Technological advances that we enjoy today took years to achieve and required major investment in R&D. Historically, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector has relied heavily on the U.S. government to fund basic research and to mature resulting technology to a level where industry could commercialize it. With current intense fiscal pressure, R&D is at very great risk. This comes at a time when U.S. competitiveness and aerospace technological leadership is also at risk.America's commitment to space research is in doubt. With the Space Shuttle's retirement, and commercial space vehicles becoming available to explore space, the U.S. is not well positioned with the technology advances needed to fully exploit new opportunities. This is a consequence of reductions to R&D funding in areas such as life and physical sciences research that bear on the long-term habitability of space by humans, and the means for more sophisticated application of robotics.Reduction in research and development not only threatens future competitiveness, but also negatively impacts the A&D workforce. Without new R&D projects through which this nation's incredible expertise can be passed on to a new generation, it will be difficult and increasingly costly for the U.S. to remain competitive with other emerging space powers.Worldwide demand for energy is increasing costs and driving new regulations to mitigate environmental impact. The nation must invest in fundamental research in combustion and develop a long-term propulsion technology vision to enable energy efficient, fuel-flexible, and environmentally friendly systems. We must also encourage R&D of alternative fuels through direct funding and tax incentives.Historically aeronautical advances have been achieved through R&D funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) for military applications and by NASA for civilian applications. Fully or semi-autonomous operation of civil, commercial, and military aircraft can significantly reduce the cost of passenger and cargo flights, enhance overall safety, and increase public accessibility for flying. Intelligent system technologies are the critical piece for enabling autonomous operation of aircraft in the National Aerospace System. The government needs to take the lead in investing in technology development to reduce the risk of infusing such technologies into future commercial flight vehicles. A decline in U.S. government funding of R&D for military and precompetitive commercial aerospace technologies will cause technology gaps with serious military and economic competitiveness implications.Hypersonic systems can enable game-changing capabilities vital to U.S. national security and aerospace leadership. Currently relevant R&D falls within the realm of the DoD, but shrinking budgets threaten critical projects. Hypersonic air-breathing, reusable launch vehicles could provide means for routine, low-cost access to space. Applicable, preparatory technology development and demonstration should reside at NASA, but presently no substantial efforts in this discipline are planned.RECOMMENDATIONS: Congress should:
Facilitating Assured, Cost-Effective Human Access to Space
ISSUE:With the retirement of the Space Shuttle, the U.S. has no current means to launch people into Earth orbit, leaving only the Soyuz as means for U.S. crew members to access the International Space Station (ISS). Costs for U.S. astronauts to use the Soyuz have risen substantially, and the recent launch failure of a Progress cargo vehicle resulted in temporary grounding of the Soyuz. NASA is putting some resources into commercial development of a number of launch vehicle/spacecraft concepts that would be capable of carrying crews to Earth orbit (the CCDev program). Also, Congress has authorized, and NASA is now beginning development of, a Space Launch System (SLS). The SLS, in combination with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), would also enable human access to Earth orbit while creating the means to launch crews beyond Earth orbit. The financial resources made available to the CCDev and the SLS/MPCV programs will determine the feasible timeframe for their success. Means for the U.S. to independently control placement of its citizens into space is at stake, including for continued utilization of the ISS, for expanded human activities in Earth orbit, and for revival of human space exploration. The future cost and safety of access to space as well as the applicable U.S. technological leadership are also at stake.RECOMMENDATIONS: The following actions by the U.S. government are strongly encouraged:
ISSUE: Without a strong aerospace workforce, the United States will lose the resulting economic and national security benefits. Incentives are needed for industry to invest in domestic aerospace workforce development, and for U.S. students to choose an engineering career. Barriers to employing talented foreign nationals must also be removed.RECOMMENDATIONS: To remain globally competitive, the U.S. must adopt policies to increase our talent base in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), must educate, engage, and retain STEM professionals using means consistent with generational changes in technologies and markets, and must provide incentives for investment in research and development that helps to attract appropriate talent.
Increasing Emphasis and Funding for Technology and Engineering in STEM
ISSUE: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in our nation's classrooms provides the critical foundation needed for our future national security and economic competitiveness. Inadequate emphasis and funding has been provided to the critical technology and engineering (T&E) components of STEM, thus eroding this foundation. This nation has been supporting science and math education for decades, yet enrollments and graduation rates in engineering have not been increasing. Increased emphasis and funding must be directed to the T&E components of STEM if the nation is to fully reap the intended benefits of STEM education.RECOMMENDATION: To remain globally competitive, the U.S. must increase its emphasis and funding on the technology and engineering components of STEM education. Several policies and actions would make significant progress on this objective.

Full TitleWhole Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) with Sorafenib for Breast Cancer Brain Metastases (BCBM): A Phase I Study
Sorafenib is an anticancer drug approved for the treatment of liver and kidney cancers. It works by targeting proteins involved in cancer growth and by inhibiting the development of the blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread. In laboratory studies and in some patients, it has been studied for the treatment of tumors in the brain.
In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of sorafenib that can be given safely with whole brain radiation therapy in patients with breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain. Investigators will also observe the preliminary effectiveness of the combination of sorafenib and whole brain radiation for treating these patients.
Some patients may be asked to concurrently participate in protocol 12-039 (a PET imaging protocol).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have brain metastases from breast cancer. Those with leptomeningeal metastases may not participate.
- Patients may have had any number of prior therapies, but therapy must have been completed at least 2 weeks before entering the study. Patients who are taking trastuzumab (Herceptin) may continue to take it.
- Patients must be able to be ambulatory for more than half of their normal waking hours.
- This study is open to patients age 18 and older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Andrew Seidman at 646-888-4559.

Mattel is finally taking its locally filmed "Max Steel" big screen adventure off the shelf to play.
The action movie — the long-time toy maker's first feature film — will finally arrive in theaters Oct. 14, more than two years wrapping production in Wilmington.
Ben Winchell stars as Max, a teenager who moves to the small town in search of clues to the late dad's past. When he stumbles upon his dad's technology, he inherits the power to harass energy with the help of an cybernetic alien named Steel, with whom he merges to create the superhero Max Steel. Think "Iron Man" for the teenage set.
Maria Bello, Andy Garcia and Ana Villafane costar.
The film shot way back in May 2014 throughout the region, making stops at, Hoggard High School, the Forest Hills neighborhood and the same Middle Sound home used in Nicholas Sparks' "The Choice." The trailer makes use of plenty of aerial shots of the region, including extended looks at Ideal Cement — the production's main location — where Max can be seen training for battle against an imposing evil known as the Ultralings.
To read about the film's stop at Hoggard High, head over to the StarNews.
Check out the first U.S. trailer below.

And the Emmy® goes to...
October 5, 2010
Just four years after graduating summa cum laude with a degree in interactive media, Bradley alum Joel Raabe has earned one of the film and television industry's highest honors. Raabe received an Emmy last month for his work on an episode of the History Channel series "WWII in HD."
As supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer for the documentary, Raabe was part of a three-person team of audio professionals who created an entire soundscape to complement silent, decades-old archival footage. On September 27, they received an iconic statuette in recognition of their work at the 31st annual News and Documentary Emmy® Awards.
It was at Bradley University that Raabe began his first exploration into sound design.
"Some of the projects put me in over my head, which was a good thing," said Raabe. "The real-world situations and deadlines I had to work with really prepared me well for my career."
Achieving the pinnacle of television awards at such a young age speaks to Raabe's remarkable talent, and to the quality of the institution that nurtured his skills.
"In the Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts, we construct our programs to produce creators who will take the lead in their professions, and Joel Raabe has done just that. He uses his creativity masterfully to convey imagination, then communicates his unique vision to the world through the power of media," said Dr. Jeffrey Huberman, dean of the college.
The award in the category of "Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Music & Sound" is the latest in a string of prestigious accolades Raabe and his colleagues have received for the History Channel project. Another was the Silver Telly, the highest honor given at the annual Telly Awards.
Raabe lives in New York City where he works for Gramercy Post, a full-service audio post-production facility.

To get the most out of your Mustang the next time you take it to the track, you'll need a proper drag setup. Latemodel Restoration has just what you need—these SVE Drag wheels for '94-'14 Mustangs. They will help you arrive at the best performance possible. Featuring a one-piece alloy aluminum construction, and available in 15- and 17-inch sizes, the wheels come in black, dark stainless, and of course, chrome. They don't require special lug nuts or hub rings, which is definitely a plus.
Power Swap
If you're contemplating a Coyote swap into your '96-'10 Mustang, Power by the Hour Performance has this kit designed to make it a more simple transition. Power by the Hour's kit allows the use of all accessories, keep everything in the factory location, and retain factory A/C lines, power-steering lines, and alternator harness. Some modifications may be needed depending on your year Mustang, but Power by the Hour's kit has most of the work done for you, and it only costs $549.
Dressing Up
If showing your Mustang is the game, check out American Car Craft's engine dress-up products. Designed for '11-'13 Mustang GTs, American Car Craft's lineup has everything covered in the way of bringing shine to your Mustang's engine compartment. From polished caps to header plates, and everything in between, American Car Craft can supply you with whatever product you need to bring home a trophy at the next show.
'Back It Up
With the '11-'14 Mustang GT, probably the easiest bolt-on you can add is an after-cat exhaust. You can swap out the old, and add the new in roughly 45 minutes. MBRP is hoping you choose the Street or Race version of its after-cat exhaust. Both are designed as 100-percent bolt-in parts. A one-piece extension and over-axle pipes allow for easy installation. MBRP states it dyno-tunes these after-cat exhausts for maximum performance, and its kits produce as much as twice the flow rate over stock.
We recently had an up close and personal look at Centerforce's DYAD DS multi-disc clutch for a project car, and was blown away. Now this clutch is available for '09-'13 Shelby GT500s. The clutch package includes a pressure plate, disc set, floater, low-inertia steel flywheel, alignment tool, hydraulic bearing, and hardware. This multi-disc system replaces the factory clutch with a higher holding capacity system designed for smooth engagement and light pedal effort. The clutch is said to corral up to 1,300 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel, and comes pre-assembled for your convenience.
Max Boost
Perhaps your '11-'14 Shelby GT500 needs a little help in the fuel delivery department, what are your options? JMS Chip and Performance would like for you to check out its PowerMax FuelMax fuel pump voltage booster. The system is designed for plug-and-play option, with as much as an 80-percent increase in fuel delivery, according to JMS. The booster is designed to increase regulated voltage without increased noise with an output rating of 21 amps at 18 or 21 volts. The product will operate with an input voltage between 9.5 and 19 volts DC with the lowest voltage drop at 0.05 volts. Output voltage is controlled by a simple knob that adjusts up to 21 volts. You can also control the ramp-in and ramp-out rate to correct or eliminate fuel pressure spikes to maximize performance and fuel delivery.
StopTech It
With all the power available at the click of a mouse, your Mustang needs braking power, as well. Summit Racing now has these StopTech drilled or slotted rotors in Mustang applications. StopTech rotors are fully machined, inspected, and mill- balanced to reduce vibration and increase resistance to heat. Most rotors have StopTech's corrosion-resistant E-coat finish on both sides of the hat, inside the cooling vanes, and on the outside edge. This finish reduces the accumulation of rust that can cause runout issues, hamper the brake's performance, and accelerate brake-pad wear.
Lethal Pipes
Just like in the old Fox days, we still love a good off-road pipe. Lethal Performance has this H-pipe and X-shape crossover pipe designed for '11-'14 Mustang GTs and Boss 302s. The 3-inch, mandrel-bent pipes promise uncompromised flow with increased performance to boot. Both the H- and X- are $299.99—a veritable bargain these days. Better yet, both deliver the sound we want from our Mustangs. Both are easily installed, and up to 14 rwhp is possible after less than an hour's install work.
Stainless Silicone
At some point in your Mustang life, you're going to need an assortment of silicone hoses, especially if engine swaps are in your future. Burns Stainless has silicone hoses, couplers, reducers, and the like, to get fluids, or air, where they need to be. Burns also offers straight and 90-degree silicone hose reinforced with four plies of quality polyester fabric, five layers of silicone, and coated with a silicone elastomer. All that means is that the hoses are designed to make it through whatever you can throw at them, but still remain flexible.
Click Click
If your '05-'14 Mustang needs adjustable dampers, check out Strange Engineering's externally adjustable shocks and struts. These gas-charged shocks and struts have 10 performance settings to help you take your Mustang from the street to the strip in just a few clicks. Constructed with an external adjustment knob and durable steel body, these Strange dampers are affordably priced, and are a direct bolt-in to help you lower your Mustang's elapsed times.
Phantom Fuel
One thing you don't want is inadequate fuel flow. With Aeromotive's Phantom Fuel System, inadequate fuel flow is a thing of the past. The Phantom system is a complete kit designed for almost any fuel tank, and power level. The Phantom 200 is the baseline kit, designed for 550hp EFI combinations, or 750 horsepower in carbureted applications. The Phantom 340 is based on the Stealth 340 pump, and is capable of supporting much more.

Tight security, Boston solidarity at London Marathon
Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY2:11 p.m. EDT April 21, 2013
The London Marathon comes six days after bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
LONDON — Less than a week after bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, those taking part at the London Marathon were refusing to let fear cast a shadow over Sunday's race.
On a chilly, but entirely clear, spring morning in the Blackheath area of the capital city's south-east corridor, thousands of runners and their supporters observed a 30-second silence in a show of respect to the three people killed and more than 170 injured during last Monday's traumatic events and the fraught aftermath.
But Sunday, many in the assembled crowd made clear, was not a day to be cowed or to give in. There may not have been the marked sense of jubilation or as much giddy, nervous energy as can sometimes accompany these events, but many runners were determined to make the best of it.
"We have confidence in London," said Nicola Selwood, who was waiting for the mass start. "We put on the Olympics, so we can do this." Selwood said that the city, and this race, should not be put off by terrorism.
But standing alongside Selwood was Clare Shepherd. "I just want to get around the course safely," she said. And Graham Law, another runner, added, "If there's worry, it's more for our families who are watching today."
Damian Crosby, a banker from London who was running Sunday, said his family would be out supporting him "so obviously their security is in the back of my mind.
"But you just need to get on with it. That's the British way."
London Marathon runners have raised more than $900 million in memory of a deceased loved one or to support a charity since the event was unveiled in 1981. Sunday, there was another reason to take part: Many ran in honor of those killed or injured in Boston.
London is showing its solidarity with the people of the Commonwealth — the Massachusetts one — in a number of ways.
A Twitter campaign launched by Lucy-Fraser Macnamar, otherwise known as @DayCentreLucy, was encouraging runners to "place your hands over your hearts as you cross the finish line in tribute to #Boston #handsoverhearts."
Race officials said they did not have any way of tracking how many runners who competed in Boston also took part in the London Marathon.
The organizers of the London Marathon have pledged to donate about $5 for every finisher to The One Fund Boston, set up by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to help those most affected by what occurred in Boston.
But as more than 35,000 runners and half a million spectators descended on the marathon's 26.2 mile route that snakes through the streets of the capital — from Blackheath in the southeast, to the Mall near St James' Park, north of the River Thames — Monday's explosions have caused London to rethink security arrangements.
London's Metropolitan police said police numbers would be boosted by 40% compared with last year, with several hundred additional officers on the streets providing "visible reassurance to the participants and spectators alike."
As a further security precaution, trash cans along the marathon's course were removed.
"I would stress there is no change to the threat level to London and nothing at this stage to link the Boston bombings to the London marathon," said Chief Supt. Julia Pendry, the Met's ranking officer in charge of security at Sunday's race.
"Nevertheless we want to do all we can to help provide a secure environment in which the runners, spectators and volunteers can enjoy themselves," she said.
A mounted bike officer from London's Metropolitan police who was guarding thousands of personal items, some of which from a distance resembled bags, said that so far everything was going to plan. The officer, who was not authorized to speak to the news media, did not express concern that the bags that runners had left behind on the lawns at Blackheath posed a security risk.
Londoners know something about terrorism, having lived through the deadly "7/7″ public transit bombings of 2005 and numerous attacks by Northern Irish terrorists, and were glad to show their solidarity with Boston.
"We've had this in London, and it's nice to send the message that life goes on and that we can still do everyday, ordinary things," said London resident Ken O'Callaghan. "It must be comforting to people in Boston to know that people in London are thinking of them."
Londoner Cathy Ellis had been "very nervous" turning out to watch Margaret Thatcher's funeral procession earlier in the week. Then authorities identified two U.S. residents as the Boston suspects, "and that makes me feel less nervous about being here," she said. "We were relieved it wasn't an international thing. … It's their deal."
Two Americans, on the other hand, said they weren't nervous at all, though they'd once lived in Boston and were devastated by the bombing.
"You can't live your life around it," said Giselle Schuetz of New York City, who was surprised by the relatively small crowds in London and by her ability to walk close to the finish chute.
About an hour before the start of the elite women's race, Amanda Trail, a government employee running her first marathon said that she was trying to put the events in Boston out of her mind.
"Runners are a tight community," she said, waiting in line at a local coffee shop on Blackheath's main street.
Lauren Kibble, who was waiting with her, and who is taking part in her third marathon, said that "in some ways we are more determined to have an even better race" than before.
By 9 a.m., thousands of spectators had already started congregating along the final stretch of the course, just in front of Buckingham Palace. Here in London,spectators are kept well away from the actual finish line on the city's famous "Mall," the broad avenue leading from the palace toward Trafalgar Square.
Buoyed by bright sunshine, spectators cheerfully applauded the junior wheelchair racers who were the first to head toward the finish. Helmeted bobbies and young army soldiers were almost as thick on the ground as spectators.
"I think it's sad that we have to have security like this when its just the marathon," said spectator Theresa Kalsky of London. "But it's good. You feel safe."
Race officials and the majority of runners wore black ribbons on their lapels or hats, but at the finish there was little sign that the Boston tragedy had raised anxieties.
"Anybody nervous?" David Bird of Saunderton, outside London, asked his teenaged daughters. They shook their heads. "Life goes on. … You still have to think there's good in people."
On Saturday, Nick Bitel, London Marathon's chief executive, said: "In terms of our preparations, it's all gone well, obviously there were some additional security issues following Boston, but that seems to be bedding down and the message of reassurance to runners has been very well received."
Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the financial hub at Canary Wharf are some of the well-known landmarks that form the backdrop to the marathon's course, which is known for being relatively flat and fast.
Kenya's Priscah Jeptoo, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist, won the women's race in 2 hours, 20 minutes, 15 seconds. Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia finished strong to pass Emmanuel Mutai late to win the men's title. Kebede finished in 2:06:03.

Given that the only way I was going to own a partial quiver of new kites I decided to go for the current Best Kiteboarding promotion, the 3 for 2 deal. Here in the Bay Area, I've only known of one person to have bought Best kites so far.
It seems that many are skeptical of the performance and quality of the kites and I've heard mostly negative or ambivalent comments about Best Kiteboarding. I decided to give them a fair chance so I ordered 9, 11 and 13.5 Yargas. I figured you can't go wrong with their return policy. I've been drawn toward mid, or moderate aspect kites as they seem to suit my riding style better than high-aspect kites such as the '02 Airblasts I've been riding. I like the all-around performance, even, grunty power and turning of the mod-aspect kites. My ideal quiver would have been the 04 Slingshots, but cost would have been prohibitive.
Anyway, they processed my order and shipped them out within a couple days and I got them on time. Headed out to Alameda after work for a rare windy day and spent the first 1/2 hour on an '03 Wipika Amp 16, then when winds came up a bit I pumped up the 13.5 Yarga.
I have to say, even with riding it without having tuned pigtail settings and using someone else's bar and lines, my initial feeling is that it's a nice kite. Even, steady power from bottom to top, great turning, powers upwind in the window well, good lift and hangtime. That's after a half-hour on it with no tuning and someone else's bar, so I'm looking forward to rigging my own bar and tuning it to optimum settings.
The construction looks solid as well and with the struts pumped to 6 psi and the main bladder to 6.5, it's seems very solid and structurally stable on the ground and in the air.
If the 9 and 11 fly and perform the same, I'm sure I'll be happy with the kites. I'll post more info as I get more time on them.

In short. Our target audience is all movie goers. We produce all types of movies.
We would like the logo to be powerful, strong. Maybe the letters can be old world, or royal looking etc. Also, maybe crossed swords can come into play, but not 100% sure if that will look good. I would like for the designers to be creative on all aspects. Maybe we can use what people see a royal colors. ( dark purple, burgundy etc ??) Would like some thing cool but not to over the top. Many current movie studio logos are good yet simple. http://www.overturefilms.net http://www.summit-ent.com http://www.lionsgatefilms.com. just a few examples. I feel the ones I just pointed out maybe a bit dull, but good. The term Monarch means to rule over. Go for it. Thanks
