First U.S team to top Everest reunitesBy LISA LEFF
The Associated Press | February 24,2013Provided Photo
This 1963 photo released by the American Alpine Club Library shows the American Mount Everest Expedition team and their sherpas on the worlds highest mountain. They reached the roof of the world May 1, 1963, a decade after Sir Edmund Hillary.BERKELEY, Calif. It might be hard to conceive now, in an era of extreme sports and ultra-light equipment, but there was a time when Americans who set out to conquer mountains engaged in a pursuit that was as lonely as it was dangerous.
But four men Norm Dyhrenfurth, now 94; Jim Whittaker, 84; Tom Hornbein, 82, and Dave Dingman, 76 remember. The leather boots that stayed wet for weeks. Oxygen canisters that weighed 15 pounds. The shrugs of indifference most of their countrymen gave a half-century ago to what it would take to get a U.S.-led mountaineering expedition to the top of Mount Everest.
Americans, when I first raised it, they said, Well, Everest, its been done. Why do it again? Dyhrenfurth recalled as he and three other surviving members of the 1963 expedition gathered in the San Francisco Bay area for a meeting honoring the 50th anniversary of their achievement.
The American Alpine Club is hosting lectures, film screenings, book-signings and a dinner this weekend recognizing the pioneering climbers and what their feat, captured in a Life magazine cover story, came to represent in the years after President John F. Kennedy honored the Everest team with a Rose Garden reception: the birth of mountaineering as a popular sport in the U.S.
When they were talking about a reunion three years ago, I thought, who the hell cares about that? I figured wed just get together for some beers, Dingman said between interviews with National Geographic, Outside magazine and the Alpine Clubs oral history project. Its turned into this big event, and Im glad it has.
Whittaker, who lives in Seattle and went on to become chief executive of outdoors outfitter Recreational Equipment Inc., was the first American to summit Everest. He and his Sherpa companion, Nawang Gombu, reached the top of the world on May 1, 1963, a decade after New Zealands Edmund Hillary and about six weeks after another climber on the U.S. expedition, Jake Breitenbach, died in an avalanche.
Memories of how close he came to his own death on Everest he and Gombu ran out of oxygen on the summit and had to climb up and back without water after their bottles froze infused every day of his life since with gratitude and child-like wonder, he said.
I think I will probably take it with me into my next life, if I have one, Whittaker said.
Three weeks after Whittakers ascent, two other Americans, Hornbein and the late Willi Unsoeld, became the first men ever to scale Everest via a more dangerous route on the mountains west side. The next day, they descended by the southern route that Hillary, Whittaker and by then, two more members of the American team, had taken to the summit.
The adventure, which included spending the night without sleeping bags or tents at 28,000 feet, made them the first men ever to traverse the worlds highest peak and cost Unsoeld nine frost-bitten toes.
Dingman has been lauded over the years for sacrificing his own chance to scale Everest to belay Hornbein, Unsoeld and two other climbers, Barry Bishop and Lute Jerstad, who had gotten stuck out in the open with them, back down to base camp.
Dingman never made it back to Everest. As a doctor in training, a Vietnam War draftee and then a physician with a young family, he never could find the time to make the trip. He said he had no regrets then and has none now.
It would have made no difference to get two more people on to the summit, but if we had lost two or three people on the way down that would have been a very different story, he said.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.

Down at Fowey, boatbuilder Marcus Lewis has started work bringing Barbara, Troy 12, back to life. As he says, hers is an epic story…
'Troy 12, the first to be built after the war in 1946, raced very succesfully in Fowey for a few years, and was then sold to someone who took her to Padstow, fitted a Stuart Turner engine, and had her sitting on the mud with legs when the tide was out.
'Perhaps inevitably she eventually fell over and stoved-in her side.
'While she was in the boatyard being repaired, her owner died and his nephew took her on. He was in the army and intended to set up an adventure school in the Hebrides once he was out of uniform, so over a couple years he hopped along the coast with Barbara when he could: from Padstow he sailed round Lands End, along south coast up the East Coast, shipped overland across Scotland, and then sailed out to the Outer Hebrides.
'He had the boat there for a few years until a bad gale sank her. A mate with a fishing boat pulled her onto the beach, but in doing so pulled her stem out, and she sat on the beach for 15 years or so until till we tracked her down late eighties.
'A friend and I already had a Troy to look after (number 3, which we tracked down to Gateshead, and subsequently bought – and that's another epic tale!) so left the owner to try and retrieve number 12.
'After a few years he gave up so we tried.
'After an incredible amount of help from the Army and RAF, and from Benbecula Airport, we got the the boat back to Fowey,
on an army supply ship – though sadly on three pallets rather than as a boat-shaped collection of manky wood!
'The plan was always to rebuild her, but it has taken longer to get round to it than I ever imagined.
'Realistically, the only useable bit is the lead keel, so that's where I started a couple months ago, just doing a bit when I can, but she is now set up, with the moulds framed up and work is getting in the way! She probably wont be ready for next season, but I will work away steadily when time permits.'
Thanks Marcus! Check out Marcus's recent weblog posts (bottom left of his home page) for boats for sale. They include a Heard 28, and various dinghies and a sweet double-ended 18ft daysailer.
Here's some great footage of Dutch barge sailing in the late 1960s, from the Bert Haanstra documentary Stem van het water (The Voice of the Water). I love the finale!

November 29, 2014
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) -- Virginia Beach has agreed to settle a lawsuit stemming from a 10-month-old boy's death while in foster care.
Media outlets report that the City Council was briefed on the settlement Tuesday.
If a circuit court judge approves the agreement, the city will pay $75,000 to the biological father of Braxton Taylor and $50,000 to the child's biological mother. The city also would give $170,000 to a fund for the boy's siblings.
The child died in 2010 after his foster mother, Kathleen Ganiere, shook him. She is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
The lawsuit alleged that the city Department of Human Services ignored evidence that Ganiere was abusing the child. It also alleged that the department failed to investigate, train and supervise the foster parents.

Baseball postsFriday July 31, 2009
From ESPN.com...
The Boston Red Sox got the big bat they were looking for, acquiring All-Star slugger Victor Martinez from the Cleveland Indians on Friday...
Martinez, who had spent his whole career with Cleveland, fought back tears after being told he'd been traded. He sat in front of his locker, hugging son Victor Jr. -- earlier in the day, the young boy asked his dad, "Are we still an Indian?"
"It's tough," Martinez said. "This is my house. This is my home."
Martinez leaves Cleveland a day before the Indians were to hold Victor Martinez Bobblehead Night at Progressive Field in their game against Detroit.

Anatomy of a Catch: DeWayne Wise
Seriously, if you haven't seen DeWayne Wise's catch with nobody out in the top of the ninth inning to preserve Mark Buehrle's perfect game yesterday—only the 18th perfect game (including the postseason) in Major League Baseball history—you've gotta see it. Right here.
As I said before, I may have seen better homerun-robbing catches but never in that kind of situation, never to preserve that kind of baseball history. Not even close. It's the catch of the year.
Watch where he starts from. I mean he's dead centerfield and not particularly deep. He has to run a long way to get to that thing. He has to run at a sprint to be exactly where the ball is heading.
He runs so fast, in fact, that it allows him to slow down at the warning track. That's key. If he'd been running faster when he made his leap, the ball probably would've jarred loose from his glove when he hit the wall. Or he might've injured himself. Instead, because of his earlier speed, he's able to slow down and go into the wall relatively softly.
OK, over the wall. Because it's obviously a homerun. Kapler hit a homerun. Until Wise brought it back.
But even going over the wall relatively softly, the ball is still jarred loose from his glove. So, coming off the wall, falling down, he is able to re-glove and bare-hand the ball (both hands, kids), roll over on his back, and stand and raise the ball in his bare hand. I mean...goddamn.
Then he does a very baseball thing. With his gloved hand he points at Buehrle. I love that. I've written articles about "the point" in baseball and how it compares favorably to the antics in other sports, particularly the solipsistic celebrations of football, which are all me me me. Pointing in baseball means: "Good job, you. Good work. We're a good team." But why does Wise point at Buehrle here? Because Buehrle kept Kapler from hitting it deeper? Because Buehrle's pitch, and Kapler's hit, have just made DeWayne Wise a household name? Of course not. He's just on automatic. I'm sure he's pumped. But in baseball, particularly in the field, you maintain cool while the game is going on. You maintain nonchalance. Wise does. You can see his adrenaline almost overwhelming his nonchalance but he keeps it tamped down. After all, there are two outs to go.
Then he taps gloves with the left fielder and goes back and retrieves his sunglasses. Unsmiling. He's serious. After all, there are two outs to go.
It's beautiful. Everything I love about baseball is in this moment. Watch it.

I arrived in Seattle in May 1991 after spending most of the 1980s pursuing a degree and a girl—I got the degree and lost the girl—and after having spent a significant amount of time abroad in baseball-less Taiwan. Hell, even in Minneapolis, where I lived most of the 1980s, baseball didn't feel the same as when I was growing up. My childhood stadium, Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn. (now the Mall of America), saw its last professional baseball game played on September 30, 1981 (I was there), and it was replaced, the spring of my freshman year of college, with a domed stadium downtown. Grass became turf, the sky became roof, the distinctive "TC" on the caps of the players became a fat, generic "M" (because, literalists proclaimed, it was the Minnesota Twins, not the Twin Cities' Twins), and I drifted elsewhere. Yes, this kid Hrbek was better than most in a long line of "next Harmon Killebrews," and, yes, this kid Puckett coming up in '84 was fun to watch, but overall I stopped going. I lost track. Hell, when the Twins finally won it all in 1987 I was on the other side of the world. I still considered myself a fan but I was, at best, fair-weather.
In Seattle in '91 and '92 I went to a few games in the Kingdome—which was, impossibly, even uglier than the Metrodome—and things improved in '92 when I got glasses and could finally follow the ball again, but I didn't become a true fan until '93, when two friends from University Book Store, Tim and Mike, and I, would often, spur of the moment, take in a game. "Who's pitching? Randy? Let's go."
Here's an entry in my diary, from when I wrote a diary, from April 21, 1993:
I got rained on three times today: biking to work in the morning; as Parker and I were waiting for the bus to take us to the Mariners game; and finally returning from the Mariners game. The game, by the way, went well: Mariners: 5 Red Sox: 0. Randy Johnson with a 4-hit complete game shutout; Ken Griffey Jr. with two homeruns. This is his second two-homerun game in the last three days.
The next night Chris Bosio pitched a no-hitter and I wasn't there, and I always lamented the fact that I went to the first two games in that series with Boston and it was the third game that was a no-hitter. But this second game wasn't bad, either. It was career victory no. 51 for Randy (no. 51). That's 249 victories ago. And counting.
God, he was fun to watch. He's fun to watch now, but then? In his prime? For your team? Unbelievable. That year I saw him strike out 15 Kansas City Royals—twice. I watched him give John Kruk a heart attack at the All-Star game. Jerry Crasnick has a list of the top 9 Randy Johnson moments and I was only at the park for one of them—no. 9, the McGwire homerun—but, possibly because it's too similar to his no. 4, Crasnick left out the most indelible moment for most Mariners' fans, and I was there for that.
In 1998, along with Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner and Jamie Moyer, the M's had three superstars on the team—RJ, Junior and A-Rod—and thus three huge contracts to fill in the near future, and in attempting to juggle this dilemma they wound up losing all three. RJ went first, mid-season 1998, and I covered his return to Seattle, and to new Safeco Field, on July 20, 1999 for The Grand Salami, an alternative program sold at the stadium. His return, by the way, wasn't the most indelible RJ moment for most Mariners' fans. That came three years earlier. Here's the piece. I called it "Unitless in Seattle":
M's fans have grown bitter these past few seasons, witnessing, at they have, so many late-inning losses, so many bewildering trades, so much opportunity and talent gone for naught. Worse, RJ's departure was acrimonious. He pitched poorly with the M's in the first half of '98, and then cut a swath through the National League in the second half, so some feel he tanked it here.
"I listen to sport radio quite a bit," Artie Kelly, 41, of Seattle, said outside Safeco, "and (fan reaction) is pretty mixed."
Kelly, known as "Ironworker Artie," bears a slight resemblance to the Unit—tall, lanky, and long-haired. He wore a t-shirt with Johnson's name and number on the back, and stuck posters on the outside of Safeco, which he helped build. "Gone But Not Forgotten," read one. "The House That Randy Built," read another. "I'm out here to enlighten fans who are being brainwashed by M's management," he said. "You don't lead the league in strikeouts by tanking it."
Indeed, Johnson's 329 strikeouts last year, a number lost in the hubbub over the McGwire-Sosa homerun parade, were the seventh-most in modern major league history.
"The question back then was whether Randy deserved Maddux money," Kelly continued. "Well, now the question is whether Maddux deserves Johnson money."
Inside Safeco it became apparent that the anti-Randy talk on sports radio was mostly a vocal minority.
"I like Randy, he didn't do nothing wrong," said Ed Claxton, 34, of Bothell.
"Cheer?" asked Brian Conrad, 31, of Kenmore, who basked in the sun along the first base line. "Hell yeah. He's responsible for us having this stadium."
When asked about favorite RJ moments, the response was surprisingly widespread. Some mentioned the no-hitter against Detroit in 1990, and the one-game playoff against California that gave Seattle its first division title in 1995. What came to Darren Arends' mind was the 1993 All-Star game when Randy sailed a pitch over the head of the Phillies' John Kruk. Kruk stepped out, an amazed, dazed smile on his face, fluttered a hand near his heart, then promptly struck out on three pitches—his last swing hardly catching homeplate he was so far back in the bucket.
But by far the favorite Randy moment—in this admittedly unscientific survey—was Randy striding in from the bullpen to the strains of "Welcome to the Jungle," in Game 5 of the 1995 Division Series against the Yankees.
"The best sports moment of my life," said Brian Conrad.
"That was a pretty imposing sight," remembered Sean Linville, 28, of Bellingham.
And I was there. Six years later—during which the national sports press, forgetting '95, kept implying that Randy "choked" in the postseason—I watched on TV as Randy, now with the Diamondbacks, did the same against the Yankees in the 7th game of the 2001 World Series. He was the true Yankees killer—though both games required comebacks from his teammates.
Getting that comeback, getting that team support, was kind of a rarity for Randy—at least in his Seattle days. That's what I kept thinking during this long, drawn-out pursuit for 300. If it wasn't for that lousy, mid-1990s M's bullpen, how much sooner would he have gotten there? I recall tons of blown ballgames—the worst, the most laughable, coming in April 1998, when RJ dominated the Red Sox (again) through 8 innings at Fenway, and left with a five-run lead. The M's bullpen—horrible in '97, disastrous in '98—promptly gave it all back, and more, as Mo Vaughn ended the game with a walk-off grand slam. The four or five pitchers Lou trotted out that inning didn't even record an out.
So make no mistake. Randy deserves that 300. He's the best, most dominating pitcher I've ever seen. And—with Junior, Edgar, Omar and Jay, as well as Mike and Tim—he helped bring me back to baseball.

A gentle reminder to Yankees fans everywhere that, as of this moment, their team is the losingest team in the history of New Yankee Stadium. Yesterday afternoon, in their $1.6 billion stadium debut, they got drubbed by the Cleveland Indians, 10-2. Some firsts at the new park:
- First pitch: by C.C. Sabathia, a ball, at 1:09 PM eastern time
- First batter: Grady Sizemore, groundout to first
- First strikeout: Victor Martinez, by Sabathia, in the top of the 1st
- First Yankees batter: Derek Jeter, fly out to center
- First basehit: Johnny Damon, single, bottom of the 1st
- First extra-base hit: Ben Francisco,Cle., double in the top of the 2nd
- First run: Ben Francisco,Cle., who scored from first on a two-out double by Kelly Shoppach in the top of the 4th
- First homerun: Jorge Posada, NY, nobody on, bottom of the 5th
- First grand slam: Grady Sizemore in the top of the 7th
Not exactly names that might ring through the ages, right? Francisco is 27 and his double was the 38th of his career. Shoppach is 28 and the RBI was the 103rd of his career.
I hate the Yankees, of course, but you gotta love some of their fans in times like these. From the NY Times article on the Indians' nine-run 7th:
The inning was so bad that by the end of it, some fans shouted, "We want Swisher!" — as in Nick Swisher, the outfielder who tossed a scoreless inning in a blowout at Tampa Bay on Monday.
May the streak continue.

I recently moved to Florida and miss Potbelly's more than any other restaurant. The lines are long at times and the prices are maybe $1-2 higher than Panera (chips and drink included) but well worth it. The meat is always super fresh, they are never out of anything, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

Senate Health Care Reform Bill: Heavy on Rhetoric, Short on Policy
Released on Wed, Sep 16, 2009
While attempting to reform the nation's health care system, both Congress and the White House are facing considerable pressure to include immigration-related restrictions that are long on rhetoric and short on results. Faced with pressure from the right and immigration restrictionists, the new Senate mark includes over-the-top measures to exclude illegal immigrants and restrict the participation of legal immigrants. These poor policies are nonsensical, do not protect public health, and will undoubtedly result in the exclusion of U.S. citizens. Furthermore, inclusion of these provisions has failed to win support of the very critics they were trying to appease.

Survey reveals plight of LGBT elderly in care homes
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
13 Mar 2014
Despite changes in social attitudes, many older LGBT people feel unable to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity to staff according to a new survey of care home staff.
But though two thirds of care home staff say not even one resident has disclosed their sexual preference, 82% report they would not feel embarrassed to discuss elderly lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans issues. Most care home staff, according to the report, say, "we, don't actually have any."
The survey, carried out by researchers at The Universities of Nottingham and Manchester who canvassed the views of 189 care home staff in England, revealed much individual goodwill towards elderly LGBT residents.
However, according to the researchers, Dr Kathryn Almack, from Nottingham University and Dr Paul Simpson, from The University of Manchester, care homes could be doing much more to address the distinct needs of LGBT residents.
Dr Simpson said: "Most respondents reported: 'We don't have any LGBT people at the moment' but that can't be true.
"We're not critical of care homes, as attitudes appear positive.
"But we do feel many may simply not be able to recognize people who are LGBT.
"That, unintentionally, is likely to force residents back into the closet and deny a lifetime of experience."
One solution, say the researchers, is to monitor care home residents' sexual and gender identities.
However, 43% of respondents said they were 'unsure' about whether this was done and only fewer than one in ten respondents (9%) said their care home made LGBT-specific literature available and only 8% said that their home had any contact with LGBT organizations.
Kathryn Almack said: "It was common to hear the phrase: ''I/we treat everyone the same'. While well intentioned, ironically this reinforces, rather than prevents or tackles inequality.
"Encouraging an LGBT-friendly atmosphere needs to be higher on the agenda
"All residents should have the option and opportunity to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity but never feel forced to disclose information."
The researchers say that staff training on LGBT issues is a big part of the answer to problem as nearly four-fifths (78%) of respondents said they had never been provided with any in their current workplace.
Dr Almack added: "The goodwill of individual staff needs converting into a collective resource and translating into strategically informed practice."

The shooting occurred after the alleged shooter and her husband of Lyons underwent a marriage counseling session in Great Bend with the dead woman with whom the husband was said to be having an affair.
A Larned man faces burglary charges and similar charges are pending against a Great Bend juvenile after a Great Bend man recognized their car as one involved in a burglary on his property, and pursed, rammed and shot at them early Wednesday morning, according a new release from the Barton Count Sheriff's Office.

Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Americans were faced with difficult questions, like "How could this happen?" "Why did it happen?" and "Who is responsible?"
It cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, yet this lethal gas is found in one out of every 15 homes in the United States.
At least five whooping cranes are believed to be spending the winter in south-central Kansas, according to sightings being monitored by staff from both Quivira National Wildlife Refuge and Cheyenne Bottoms State Wildlife Area. Although some sightings have been on either Cheyenne Bottoms or Quivira, most have been on private lands in the surrounding region.

Bill Maher...
wouldn't know libertarianism from his own blowhole. A typical liberal who thinks, homosexual marriage, Weed, and fetus killing without a consequence is the ONLY thing that's "libertarian" and matters. Someone needs to tell this waste of a human space, that social and economic choices of an individual are indistinguishable.
And since when did Paul Ryan become a libertarian? The man reads one book by Ayn Rand and all of a sudden he is a card carrying libertarian?
These rejects know well, that in 2016, they don't have a good presidential candidate. The only option is to go after Rand Paul as early as possible. In the mean time, they'll let uneducated washed up comedian like Maher draw a picture of what a "libertarian" should look and sound like for his dumb, cool-aid drinking audience.
The Libertarian Party, irrelevant since 1971.

If she wants French to behave, she may need to wish on more than 30 candles…
Khloe Kardashian Turns 30 With French Montana By Her Side
Khloe and French have been stuck to each other like glue for months, and her 30th birthday celebration is no different. Kardashian insiders say Khloe is extremely hung up on French Montana, even if she isn't necessarily looking to get the same gift Solange got for her birthday. She wants him to forgo expensive gifts and just be loving an loyal instead…
But with French's recent tour bus shenanigans with co-eds, do Khloe's bornday wishes have any chance of coming true? As HollywoodLife reports:
So what does Khloe want from French for her special day?
"His friendship and honesty. That alone is the best present and one that she absolutely wants from him," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "All that material sh*t is pointless and honestly, Khloe can go without. She just wants French to remain sweet and innocent."
Yes…she wants her still-married, groupie-chasing rapper boyfriend to remain honest and innocent. Sounds reasonable. But the source goes on to reveal what's really got Khloe in this simp-trance with the NY rapper:
Things have been going so great between Khloe and French — especially in the bedroom!
"The sexual connection between Khloe and French Montana is explosive, like fireworks. They are both very affectionate and adventuresome with each other. French is out to please in every way possible," an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
So THAT's what's got Khloe's brain all twisted up! Well she's a certified grown woman today, so if she likes it, we love it. Hit the flip for snaps from Khloe K.'s bday celebration.

The head of the organization that represents almost all builders in Manteca has a message for City Hall – if you want to generate jobs slash growth fees for everything from parks to road projects triggered by the need to accommodate growth in half.
Will South San Joaquin Irrigation District's bid to take over PG&E's retail system in Manteca, Ripon, and Lathrop trigger a rise in the ocean level?

Is Gurney Man for Real?
by Mike Stanz
posted Aug 13 2014 5:00AM
This has got to be one of the strangest videos I've seen in a long time.
It happened in Virginia, and the video was posted a couple of days ago. A couple captured a guy - on video - strapped face down on a motorized gurney, navigating across a street and going through the drive-thru at a McDonald's.
If it was a stunt of some kind, you'd think that a video from Gurney Man's perspective, complete with audio, would have surfaced by now.
Which sort of makes you think that this is real life – very bizarre, but real life.
Keep your eyes open. You never know when you might be sharing the road with a hospital gurney – and I'll bet they have the right of way.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that dreams cannot come true, but they can. You have to believe, and know that they are more than just imagination.
I am pleased that the five paintings from the tomb of Tetiky have been returned to Egypt from the Louvre Museum.
It was very interesting that when our President Hosni Mubarak visited Paris last week, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France placed one of the paintings in the hall for President Mubarak when he arrived, so that he could symbolically receive it. This gesture shows that France is willing to return stolen artefacts to Egypt.
I sent four crates from the Cairo Museum with Sayed Hassan, the assistant director of the Museum to receive the artefacts. They were well protected and travelled back to Egypt on EgyptAir to Cairo. Representatives of the SCA met them at the airport and transported them to the Cairo Museum, where they are now.
We are now looking into the possibility of replacing the five paintings in the tomb, TT 15. I think it would be very difficult to put them back in the tomb, because it was severely damaged when thieves stole the artefacts. I believe returning these artefacts to Egypt is a good example to show that any museum that buys stolen artefacts will have an immediate reaction against them. However, because of the return of these artefacts, the Louvre expedition at Saqqara will be allowed to resume.
