Demonstrations against George Zimmerman's not guilty verdict turned violent in several cities Monday night, prompting police to warn against any further outbreaks as they brace for more demonstrations this week.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said his National Action Network is calling for protests at federal buildings in 100 cities on Saturday, which he is calling "Justice for Trayvon National Day of Action," in order to pressure the federal government to charge Zimmerman with civil rights violations.

Ski Park Manager is similar in many ways to other recent resort management games, and true to its name, it lets you build and manage your own ski resort. Unfortunately, what is otherwise an enjoyable and challenging game with an interesting premise is hidden beneath an unintuitive interface, questionable design decisions, compatibility issues, and an overall lack of polish. In addition, the absence of any kind of tutorial ensures that you will be forced to wrestle with the game until you either learn to work around the shortcomings through trial and error or give up and move on to something else.
You begin the game with an underdeveloped mountain area and a set amount of money--based on the difficulty you select--to invest in ski lifts, support buildings, landscaping, and other ski resort features. Each scenario has a list of objectives, including a required number of ski lifts and visitors, visitor approval percentage, and profit. Once you have selected one of the various mountain areas to use, you position ski lifts, lay out ski runs, construct housing and support buildings, and hire staff to help run the resort. When the park is opened for business, visitors will trickle in and use the facilities, and you will collect money from admissions, concessions, ski rentals, housing, and the other businesses you have built in the resort. The success of your resort depends on the happiness of your visitors, and the happiness of your visitors depends on the quality of your ski runs and other resort features.
The game's 3D terrain engine lets you view your mountain only from four preset isometric angles, which can make it difficult sometimes to get a sense of the mountain's contours. Likewise, the lack of a usable overhead view can make it difficult to lay down ski lifts and runs, since it is unclear which sections of the mountain are higher than others. The game's optional grid view helps to a point, but you'll still find yourself ending up with ski runs that aren't exactly what you expected them to be.
Another part of the game that isn't entirely clear is the ski run construction tool. The tool lets you choose which level of difficulty you wish to designate the run, and you string together sections of the run by clicking your way down the mountain. When a particular section is unusable, part of the highlighted section will turn red, which indicates a conflict of some sort. Often, this will mean that you inadvertently guided your ski run through a building or other structure, but occasionally it will turn red for no apparent reason, forcing you to change your ski run layout or even abandon the run altogether if an alternative cannot be found.
The game's graphics do a mediocre job of conveying the information necessary to build and manage your resort. On one of our test systems, the pointer icon actually covered up important pricing information, and while the game includes an adjustable view, none of the zoom options provides an appropriate angle for constructing a longer ski run, forcing you to frequently zoom in and out--and sometimes rotate--while placing a run or a lift. Support for higher screen resolutions or an overhead topographical view may have eliminated some of these issues. Unlike the graphics, the game's sound doesn't adversely affect gameplay, but it conveys the same lack of polish that reminds you that you're playing a budget-priced game. On top of these issues, Ski Park Manager had some problems running on one of our test systems that met the game's recommended requirements.
If you're willing to look past its shortcomings, the underlying game is actually fairly deep. The game begins with a basic set of resort improvements, and you can invest in research to develop new buildings, businesses, activity centers, lift types, and other features. You also have the option to buy advertising to attract different types of visitors to your resort. You can even pay to improve the skills of your employees through training. The number and type of visitors depends in part on a resort's reputation, which can be adversely affected by visitor injuries and deaths but also improved by young ski champions who train at the resort. The game also includes a wide variety of mountain areas to choose from when building your resort, and the difficulty settings give expert players a reason to play the same area more than once with different objectives. One feature that would have provided some additional play value is a sandbox mode for letting you build whatever resort you like without budget or research constraints.
While the game's numerous shortcomings detract from its appeal, serious fans of management strategy games who are tired of the theme parks and golf courses may enjoy the different challenges and premise found in Ski Park Manager. Those willing to put in the effort required to learn their way around the game's peculiarities will eventually uncover a fairly enjoyable game that had the potential to be very good. Those who don't have that kind of patience should instead pick up a more enjoyable budget-priced management strategy game.

If you're hosting a party to watch the heated political debates, to raise funds for a candidate or to await the election results, planning some activities is a good idea to pass the moments between questions or waiting on polls to close.
Plan a trivia contest with fun facts about American Presidents, geography, inventions or folklore. A terrific resource for biographical information about every former President of the United States is the "Scholastic Encyclopedia of Presidents and their Times" by David Rubel. Lots of relevant and obscure trivia!
Obtain a copy of the sample citizenship test from the Department of Immigration and Naturalization, and play a version of " Who Wants to be an American Citizen?" building from simple to difficult questions. The sample test can be obtained by calling the toll free number for your state listed in the "Government Section" of the phone book. Chances are, even the most patriotic citizens will need to use a lifeline on some of the questions! This is a great activity to engage in to pass the time as the results of the election unfold.
Play pin the tail on the donkey–or the elephant–based on which party you support!
Create quizzes to determine how well guests know the candidates, current events and issues. This is a great activity for politcally saavy crowds.
Let us know about your election party activities!

from Freddie Gibbs – National Anthem (Fuck the World) Lyrics on Genius
There have been a lot of comparisons between Freddie Gibbs and 2Pac, in regards to flow and content, so this could be Gibbs acknowledging those comparisons and paying some homage to Pac. "Fuck the World" was part of Pac's philosophy and in his song with that same title he says "…screamin' fuck the world!" which Gibbs is directly quoting.
As for "wave your fingers if you're feeling the same"…

Coastal Bend children get help from post office with letters to Santa Claus
CORPUS CHRISTI - The children of South Texas have specific instructions for Santa Claus this year, from where to lay their gifts to what they'd like to see under the tree.
"You can put the presents wherever you want, except the hallway because as you know, every Christmas morning I run in the hallway run into my daddy's room to jump on his bed," one little boy wrote.
Most start off with a declaration of behavior deeming them worthy of the gifts they seek.
"I did my homework and have been good all year," a little girl wrote.
Every year the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Post Office passes on 300 letters to the man in red. Before Postmaster Cathy Polderman sends them on to the North Pole, she checks them for complaints and requests in case she can help Santa.
"My favorites are the ones that remind him to buy gifts for their siblings," Polderman said. "It's amazing how they think about other kids and not just themselves."
Polderman and other postal employees handle with care letters from across the Coastal Bend and parts of Victoria.
One little boy sent clippings from store ads to show exactly what toys he wanted to unwrap on Christmas Day.
"Don't forget the little pieces of paper," he wrote.
Polderman stuffed them back in the envelope to make sure they made their final destination.
The most popular demands are iPads and other electronics, although some previous years' favorites made the list.
"I want a Woody and Buzz Lightyear," one Corpus Christi girl wrote, recalling a run on "Toy Story" dolls in 2010.
Rudolph won't go home empty-handed, as many kids are planning to take care of him and the other reindeer.
"Come into my room and there might be a surprise for Rudolph," a little boy wrote.
Rumor has it, reindeer like sugar cubes.
Others reminded Santa about the treats they will leave for him in exchange for goodies in their stockings.
"I hope you like the milk and cookies," more than one child wrote.
Any letter that is addressed to the North Pole will reach St. Nick by Christmas Eve, Polderman assured.
If the local letters are any indication, Santa has some reading to do.

ScienceThe Endless Frontier and Science and Public Policy had both envisioned a science policy implemented in a genuine peacetime context, albeit with due regard for national security needs. As it happened, the final elements of the U.S. Government's science and technology organization were put in place during the early stages of the Cold War. NSF was created barely six weeks before the start of the Korean War on June 25, 1950, and the first protopresidential Science Advisory Committee, established on April 19, 1951, was created as a response to the Korean crisis on the recommendation of William T. Golden.
As background for the report on science and national security that the White House commissioned in September 1950, Golden interviewed a wide range of scientists, military experts, and politicians, including Bush, Steelman, and three prominent scientists whom President Truman had nominated as members of the first NSB on November 2, 1950: Detlev W. Bronk, a biologist who was president of The Johns Hopkins University and of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS); James B. Conant, a chemist and president of Harvard University; and Lee A. DuBridge, a physicist and president of the California Institute of Technology.
While the main purpose of Golden's interviews was to determine whether in view of the Korean crisis an organization similar to OSRD should be created, he frequently inquired as well about the role that the newly created NSF should play among other agencies of the Federal Government. Golden summarized his conclusions in a February 13, 1951, memorandum entitled "Program for the National Science Foundation" (Blanpied 1995, 67--72).
Near the beginning of his memorandum, Golden noted that, as a result of the Korean emergency, "Federal funds for research and development of all kinds within the Department of Defense alone, which originally approximated $500 million for FY 1950, are expected to be in the neighborhood of $1,250,000,000 for FY 1952."
It would be tempting, he conceded, for the newly created NSF (which, at the time Golden wrote his memorandum still did not have a director[32]) to attempt to capitalize on this situation. However, he went on, "it may be worth repeating that in accordance with the spirit of the Act [of May 10, 1950] the National Science Foundation should confine its activities to furthering basic scientific studies and that it should not dilute its effectiveness by supporting studies of directly military or other applied character. To do so would seriously impair the long-term mission of the National Science Foundation without materially contributing to the war effort."
Consistent with this long-term view and the high probability that NSF's financial resources would very likely be constrained at least as long as the Korean emergency continued, Golden suggested that a high priority should be assigned to human resources development in the form of a fellowship program. "In view of the disruption of the educational process inherent in the mobilization effort it would be unwise not to undertake some such fellowship program in order to insure the continuing production of scientific leaders over the longer term ... The cost of such a fellowship program is very small in relation to its potential value and to the total cost of Government's scientific research program."
More broadly, and with the long-term mission of NSF still in view, Golden recommended that steps should be taken to assess the status of the Nation's science and technology system as a first step in determining the agency's future directions. In essence, he suggested that the Foundation, under the guidance of the Board, should prepare to engage in serious priority-setting based on sound data. To this end, Golden recommended that "the Foundation, promptly after the appointment of a Director, might proceed to the following principal undertakings":
Golden concluded his February 13 memorandum by observing that "preparations of studies of the aforementioned character are primarily tasks for the staff under the Director but the members of the 24-man Board . . .are particularly well qualified to plan and determine their undertakings and to give guidance to the staff in the areas of their specialties."
The director of BoB transmitted Golden's memorandum to James B. Conant, chairman of the NSB, on February 15, 1951. The minutes of the Board's fourth meeting, held on March 8--9, 1951, stated that Golden's memorandum had been received, but that no specific action was taken on it. This is not surprising, since the Board had to deal with a particularly full agenda for that meeting. Its principal business was to finalize and approve the Foundation's budget request to Congress for FY 1952. Also, on the first day of the meeting, the Board was informed of President Truman's intention to nominate Alan T. Waterman, chief scientist at ONR, as the NSF's first director (England 1983, 126--7). The nominee joined the Board on the second day of its meeting. The Senate consented to Waterman's nomination later that month, and on April 6, 1951, he was sworn in as NSF director by Supreme Court Associate Justice William O. Douglas.
Despite the fact that the NSB took no direct action on Golden's memorandum at its March 8--9, 1951, meeting, his suggestion that the policy-for-science of the U.S. Government and the programs of NSF should be based on sound quantitative information was widely shared. In addition to reproducing BoB data on R&D expenditures by Federal agency in its FY 1951 Annual Report, the agency began to publish its Federal Funds for Research and Development series during that same fiscal year. Data in the first editions in this series were limited to Federal funds for R&D in nonprofit institutions. However, the coverage expanded to include Federal R&D support in all categories of performer and was also reported by character of work, by field of science, and by agency.
Congress was particularly concerned about the adequacy of human resources for science and technology. The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 explicitly directed the agency "to maintain a register of scientific and technical personnel and in other ways provide a central clearinghouse for information covering all scientific and technical personnel in the United States, including its Territories and possessions."[34]
To carry out this mandate, NSF assumed responsibility for the National Scientific Register from the U.S. Office of Education on January 1, 1953,[35] expanding its coverage significantly in partnership with several science and engineering societies. NSF's third annual report, covering the period from July 1, 1952, to June 30, 1953, included the first survey results on human resources for science and engineering carried out in response to this congressional directive. The agency also issued brief, periodic bulletins with human resources data in specific fields of science and of application.
Evidently the quality and utility of these early quantitative studies were quickly recognized, since an Executive Order issued by President Eisenhower on March 4, 1954, required, among other matters, that:
The Foundation shall continue to make comprehensive studies and recommendations regarding the Nation's scientific research effort and its resources for scientific activities, including facilities and scientific personnel, and its foreseeable scientific needs, with particular attention to the extent of the Federal Government's activities and the resulting effects upon trained scientific personnel. In making such studies, the Foundation shall make full use of existing sources of information and research facilities within the Federal Government.[36]
One reason why President Eisenhower may have singled out NSF as the most appropriate agency to conduct such studies was the unique partnership among the industrial, academic, and Federal Government sectors reflected in the congressionally mandated composition of the NSB, "so selected as to provide representation of the views of scientific leaders in all areas of the Nation."[37] Congress also recognized the Board's ability to speak with authority on matters pertaining to the vitality of the U.S. science and engineering enterprise. In 1968, the House Committee on Science and Technology, chaired by Emilio Q. Daddario (D-CT), held a series of oversight hearings resulting in the first major set of amendments to the National Science Foundation Act of 1950. Among other things, these amendments provided for a presidentially appointed deputy director, authorized NSF to support applied research, and explicitly authorized support for research in the social sciences. The Daddario amendments also required that:
The [National Science] Board shall render an annual report to the President, for submission on or before the 31st day of January of each year to the Congress, on the status and health of science and its various disciplines. Such report shall include an assessment of such matters as national scientific resources and trained manpower, progress in selected areas of basic scientific research, and an indication of those aspects of such progress which might be applied to the needs of American society. The report may include such recommendations as the Board may deem timely and appropriate.[38]
Finally, Congress officially concurred with, and made more explicit, the Executive Order issued by President Eisenhower in 1954 by authorizing and directing NSF:
(6) to provide a central clearinghouse for the collection, interpretation, and analysis of data on scientific and engineering resources and to provide a source of information for policy formulation by other agencies of the Federal Government.
(7) to initiate and maintain a program for the determination of the total amount of money for scientific and engineering research, including money allocated for the construction of the facilities wherein such research is conducted, received by each educational institution and appropriate nonprofit organization in the United States, by grant, contract, or other arrangement from agencies of the Federal Government, and to report annually thereon to the President and the Congress.[39]

Heyns, a psychologist who served as a member of the NSB from 1967 to 1976 and who became president of the American Council on Education in 1972, suggested that, for its mandated 1973 annual submission to the President and Congress, the Board might consider preparing a report analogous to periodic reports that assessed various economic and social trends in terms of quantitative data series known as social indicators. Preparation of such a report could draw on the proven capabilities of NSF staff in gathering and analyzing quantitative data on U.S.and internationalscience and engineering enterprise. The NSB accepted Heyns' suggestion, naming its fifth report to Congress, Science Indicators1972 (NSB 1973). The positive reception accorded to this first Indicators volume encouraged the Board to continue to issue these reports on a biennial basis.[40]
In May 19, 1976, testimony before the House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Domestic and International Scientific Planning, Heyns highlighted some of the main purposes and functions of the Indicators reports:
Heyns clearly regarded the periodic preparation of the Indicators reports in terms of partnerships involving producers, users, and science policy scholars. The Board has called on all these groups over the years as it seeks to expand and refine these reports in order to reflect both the principal issues enduring in and changing science policy and the best scholarly thinking on quantification of these issues.[41]
In 1982, Congress officially recognized the unique significance of the Indicators reports by requiring that, instead of more broadly defined annual reports on the status and health of science required by the 1968 amendment to the National Science Foundation Act, "The Board shall render to the President, for submission to the Congress no later than January 15 of each even numbered year, a report on indicators of the state of science and engineering in the United States." [42]
This same legislation also encouraged submission of other reports on important science- and engineering-related issues, stating that "The Board shall render to the President for submission to the Congress reports on specific, individual policy matters related to science and engineering and education in science and engineering, as the Board, the President or the Congress determines the need for such reports."
Beginning with the 1987 edition, and consistent both with this legislation and the changing character of the U.S. research enterprise, the titles of these mandated biennial reports became Science and Engineering Indicators.

Our cornerstone expedition—honed to perfection since 1969!
In a land where the greatest peak is almost six miles high, everything below it seems miniscule in comparison. But it is here in the quiet, Sherpa villages of Nepal where one hears the heartbeat of the Himalaya. Since 1969, MTS has pioneered trekking in Nepal, establishing local ties in the Khumbu region. This classic trek is perfect for first-time travelers, showcasing the high mountain villages, the solitude of ancient Buddhist monasteries, and the warmth and hospitality of the people. Lodge-to-lodge travel allows for extra comfort and relaxation at the end of a long day's hike and tasty, nourishing meals. From the famed Tengboche Monastery, soak in views of Everest, the Titan among titans. We will also see a stunning panorama of other Himalayan icons as well— from Kangtega (22,340') to Thamserku (22,208') and the obelisk of Ama Dablam (22,494')—a veritable outdoor cathedral of soaring peaks. Allow us to share our decades of experience in the land worshipped by mystics and explorers alike.

Duration: 14 days Start Location: Kathmandu End Location: KathmanduDownload Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrive in Kathmandu, Nepal
In order to arrive in time for our briefing, you'll need to arrive in Kathmandu by 2:00 p.m. today. A Mountain Travel Sobek representative will meet you outside the customs and immigration area at the airport, where he or she will answer questions, brief you on the immediate arrangements, and escort you to your hotel. The trip leader will hold a short briefing in the hotel around 4:00 p.m. regarding trek arrangements and a general orientation to Kathmandu. Most flights from the U.S. require three days of travel and overnight en route (you arrive in Kathmandu on the third day). More specific details will be sent to you with your pre-trip information. Dinner this evening will be on your own.
LODGING: Yak & Yeti Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal
Day 2 : Touring the Kathmandu Valley
Kathmandu (4,445') is one of three former medieval city-states in the Kathmandu Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with Bhaktapur and Patan. We will take a morning tour of Bhaktapur, which has preserved its ancient character and is an enchanting display of medieval Nepalese town life. A highlight is Durbar Square, with its many temples, remains of an ancient palace, and intricate Sun Dhoka ("Golden Gate"), a gilded copper gate crafted in 1753. In the afternoon, Kathmandu is yours to explore. By western standards, the city is intimate. You can visit the many interesting sights, shrines, and markets, or stroll in Kathmandu's fascinating Asan Tole bazaar. Don't miss Durbar Square, Thamel, Swayambhunath (the "Monkey Temple," overlooking the entire Valley; go at sunrise or sunset!) and the King's Palace. You could also hire a driver to take you to the nearby ancient city of Patan. Lunch and dinner will be on your own.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast
LODGING: Yak & Yeti Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal
Day 3 : Mountain flight to Lukla (9,200')
Transfer to airport for the mountain flight to Lukla airstrip (weather permitting). During the short but spectacular flight we will leave the Kathmandu Valley and head into the Himalaya, the world's highest mountains rising before us. Our destination is Lukla, perched high on a mountainside above the Dudh Kosi (River of Milk), where we make an unforgettable landing on its 1,729-foot-long, 65-foot-wide runway. After we disembark, we'll collect our gear and walk over to our lodge. If our flight is on time, we'll have the option of a warm-up hike up to Kharka. Kharka is on a trail that leads to Mera Peak. On the way, we'll pass small hamlets and shepherds who live in the area. (3 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Lukla Lodge - Lukla, Nepal
Day 4 : Monjo (9,317')
From Lukla, the trail descends 1,500 feet down to the Dudh Kosi. The local people look quite different than the people of Kathmandu. The inhabitants of the Khumbu are Sherpas, people who migrated from Tibet over 500 years ago and still practice evolved forms of Tibetan Buddhism and dress in much the same Tibetan style. As we follow the trail to the village of Phakding, we will pass mani walls (boulders with carved Buddhist prayer inscriptions), a number of small villages, and well-terraced hillsides. Looming above us, in the distance, is Khumbila (18,800'), the sacred peak of the Sherpa people, our sentinel to the spiritual and geographic heart of the Khumbu. Khumbila remains unclimbed (sacred peaks may not be climbed) and it represents the "protector" deity of Tibetan Buddhists. We'll arrive at our lodge in Monjo (9,317') in the early afternoon, provided our flight is on schedule. The afternoon is free to rest and relax while we acclimatize to our new altitude. (8 miles, 6 hours hiking.)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Monjo Lodge - Monjo, Nepal
Day 5 : Trek to Namche Bazaar (11,286')
Today, we'll follow the forested trail north up the Dudh Kosi valley to Jorsale, where we officially enter Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) National Park, established in 1976 as the first national park in the Himalaya to help protect an area of great environmental, religious, and cultural importance. (Sagarmatha National Park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.) We'll continue along the trail, crossing the Dudh Kosi and begin the steep climb up "Namche Hill," amidst lovely forests of rhododendron, fir, and magnolia, to the Sherpa market town of Namche Bazaar. As we climb the steep hillside, we'll catch our first glimpse of Everest and the snowcapped panorama of Himalayan giants to come. Namche Bazaar is the unofficial capital of the Khumbu, the local center for trading and supplies. The town is filled with numerous homes, trekker's inns, shops, and a small monastery. It is beautifully situated in a terraced amphitheater facing the hanging glacier below Kwangde (20,293'). We'll check in to our lodge and have the afternoon free to explore Namche Bazaar. (3 miles, 4.5 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Sherpa Land Lodge - Namche Bazaar, Nepal
Day 6 : Trek to Tashinga (11,800')
We'll have some time in the morning to visit the Sagarmatha National Park Visitors Center and Museum, where there are terrific views of the Everest region and numerous educational displays on the culture, geography, geology, climatology, and wildlife within the park and the Khumbu. Our trail follows the classical route to Everest on a winding, almost level trail. After about three hours of hiking, we'll take a slight detour off the main path and hike 15 minutes further before arriving at our comfortable lodge. After check in, we'll have the rest of the afternoon free to rest and relax. There's no place like the peaceful Himalaya to relax! (6 miles, 4 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Tashinga Lodge - Tashinga, Nepal
Day 7 : Tengboche (12,680') – Pangboche (13,107')
Today, we'll descend into the deep Dudh Kosi Gorge—one of the most beautiful valley walks on earth—and come to a fir forest where we'll begin with a steep climb to the site of the famous Tengboche Monastery (12,680'). Destroyed by a fire in early 1989, the monastery has been completely rebuilt. Tengboche monastery is the spiritual center of the Khumbu and a training center for new monks. The Rimpoche of Tengboche resides here and the area is considered holy; nothing may be hunted or killed. Expeditions to the world's highest peaks have traditionally stopped here to receive the blessing of the High Lama. After lunch at Tengboche, we continue our trek on to Pangboche. The hike along the Imja River is very scenic. Arriving at the top of the ridge, Ama Dablam (22,494') and the great massif of Mount Everest (Sagarmatha in Nepali or Chomolungma in Tibetan, at 29,028') hover majestically above us. The tangible spirituality and stunning scenery of this place is always impressive. Our lodge in Pangboche is located right along the trail to Everest and almost at the base of Ama Dablam. (7 miles, 5-6 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Pangboche Lodge - Pangboche, Nepal
Day 8 : Pangboche and day excursion to Highend Ama Dablam Base Camp (15,091')
Ama Dablam (22,349') is one of the most beloved and celebrated mountains in the Khumbu. After crossing the Imja River, followed by a gradual ascent until Lhabarma, we will suddenly be standing right in front of the mountain ridge. We can walk to its foothills and absorb the enormity of the mountain. Ama Dablam Base Camp sits at 15,013 feet on an open yak pasture beneath the west face. The climbing route follows the southwest ridge (the right hand skyline as we look at it), moving onto the face above the hanging glacier three-quarters of the way up. Base Camp affords particularly fine views of Kan Tega (22,254'), Thamserku (21,712') and Tawoche (21,463'). Our trek coincides with the main climbing season and it is more than likely that we will find climbing groups at Base Camp either acclimatizing or fixing the route. With a pair of binoculars it may well be possible to see climbers descending the 50/60 degree ice slopes from the summit. Return to our lodge. (8 miles, 6-7 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Pangboche Lodge - Pangboche, Nepal
Day 9 : Trek to Tashinga (11,800')
Today we cross the Mengbo and the Imja Rivers to get to a quiet trail on the other side. The panoramic vista is complemented by charming old stone houses, and the absence of other trekkers along the way is positively blissful. When we arrive in Tashinga we will check into the lodge and have the remainder of the day free to rest and relax. Maybe a siesta is calling or, if you are feeling more energetic, you might want to explore the surrounding area. (7 miles, 5-6 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Tashinga Lodge - Tashinga, Nepal
Day 10 : Monjo (9,317')
Today we will trek by the villages of Khumjung, across the top of Namche Bazaar and then up the Nangpo Dzangpo. Leaving Tashinga Lodge, we'll contour on a small path to reach the main trail leading to Khumjung, approximately a one-hour hike. The path leads gently up the shallow valley to Khumjung, built into a mountain bowl and surrounded by patterned, terraced fields. The village of Khunde is a short walk further on and contains the famous medical center established by the Sir Edmund Hillary Trust. We will also take time to visit the Edmund Hillary School. The Monastery of Khumjung has the infamous Yeti Skull on display.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Monjo Lodge - Monjo, Nepal
Day 11 : Return to Lukla (9,200')
Today we'll return to Lukla along the Dudh Kosi, retracing our steps from Day 4. Overnight at the lodge in Lukla. (8 miles, 6-7 hours hiking)
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Lukla Lodge - Lukla, Nepal
Day 12 : Return to Kathmandu
Today we'll bid a fond, if somewhat hesitant, farewell to the Khumbu as we board our return flight from Lukla to Kathmandu (weather permitting). Upon arrival in Kathmandu we'll transfer to our hotel.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because the weather in the Khumbu is unpredictable. Flights in and out of this tiny mountain airstrip are commonly delayed and we have no way of predicting the length of the delay. As a result, the next day will be spent either in Kathmandu or Lukla, depending on the Lukla flight. With luck we'll get out the first day. All lodging and meals at Lukla are at your expense while waiting. We cannot overemphasize the unreliability of these flights, which are operated as a scheduled service by various airlines. We have no control over their operation or schedules, and while we devote an enormous amount of time, money and energy into securing reservations and obtaining replacement reservations when flights are cancelled, you should be ready for disappointments, delays, and cancellations of Lukla flights. For this reason we have scheduled an extra day at the end of the trek so as not to interfere with your homeward bound flights.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast
LODGING: Yak & Yeti Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal
Day 13 : Kathmandu
If our flight from Lukla is not delayed, we'll have a morning tour of the Hindu shrines and ghats at Pashupatinath on the Bagmati River and the large Buddhist stupa at Bodhnath, center of the Tibetan Buddhist culture in Kathmandu. The afternoon is free to relax or do some last minute shopping or sightseeing on your own. In the evening the group will gather for a farewell dinner with the group at a local restaurant.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Dinner
LODGING: Yak & Yeti Hotel - Kathmandu, Nepal
Day 14 : Fly home
Transfer to the airport and depart Kathmandu on homeward-bound flights. Please note that most flights require an overnight en route.
If you'd like to extend your stay in Asia we offer a number of wonderful extensions in India, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Ask our Regional Specialist for details!

(His father was a climbing Sherpa and went to the South Col on several expeditions, including the 1963 American Everest expedition.) After completing his education, Lhakpa tried mountaineering on Kanchenjunga (the world's third highest peak), but decided that he prefers trekking and now limits his climbing to trekking peaks like Mount Mera.

Two sets of sisters are taking young entrepreneurship to new levels in the city
The 80 sq ft space under a stairway on Red Cross Road belies its popularity on networking sites. Head over Heels (HoH), the two-year-old sandal store, has grown to be a mark of young entrepreneurship and astute marketing, milking the latent potential of Facebook. Among young girls and their mothers, 22-year-old Tenaz Rafiq and 21-year-old Fidaan Rafiq, sisters and businesswomen, are talked about as what young women could be — smart entrepreneurs. Shemayel Saleem (20) and Shurouck Saleem (17), who go by the name Sugar Sisters — baking cakes, puddings and tarts on order — admit the HoH story was an inspiration. "Fidaan was my senior in college. We were inspired by the way they used FB to promote business," says Shemayel. The Sugar Sisters too promptly update their page with their latest baking adventures. So orders trickle in from Dubai and New York. "We generally have three to four orders a day. Customers in Dubai and New York order for their relatives here," says Shemayel.
What were at best skills — baking and smart dressing — that merely ensured compliments earlier are now being turned to good business possibilities by young women. The HoH girls were confident beginners. "The clothes and shoes we wore were always appreciated. We were known for our good dress sense. So we were confident of starting out with shoes," says Tenaz. What has worked for the sisters is that their business is their passion. "Each pair of sandals in this shop is handpicked by us from Mumbai, Bangalore and a few are imported from Bangkok. The first time we went shopping our parents accompanied us. Now we go alone," says Fidaan.
Giving a choice
The trademark of HoH is affordability, an aspect the girls were particular about since they were students themselves. "As students we needed a lot of shoes. But we could not afford to have 10 pairs that come at a price of Rs.2,000 each," says Tenaz. At HoH, nothing is priced over Rs. 499. Sticking to the price limit means the profit on some pairs would be miniscule. The sisters are not bothered, for the brand has grown beyond their dreams. "We began with 1,000 pairs of shoes. We chose this place as the rent was minimal. Our dad financed us in the beginning. It would have cost him a little less than Rs. 5 lakhs. But we paid him back in two months. We started by carrying out a market study here. We walked through S.M. Street to know what was and wasn't available here," says Tenaz, not hiding her pride. The only condition the parents put forward is that the girls should finish their studies. After her B.B.A, Fidaan is contemplating joining for an M.B.A., while Tenaz is studying to be a company secretary. Tenaz vouches she does not want to work as a company secretary. "I would rather have a company of my own," she asserts. The sisters also recount how they dabbled in interior decoration and logo-making to trim expenses. "Now people ask us who designed the store. We wanted someone to design the logo and they set a fee of Rs.30, 000. So we did it ourselves," says Tenaz.
The sisters are predictably buoyed by the hype around HoH. "We started the FB page when the idea struck us. The shop came much later. The page got popular much before the shop began," says Fidaan. With close to 20,000 likes on FB, the sisters are now thinking bigger. They have already opened their second store in Kannur. "It is a slightly bigger place," quips Tenaz. There is growing demand to open a shop in Kochi, she adds. "We often have instances when people head straight from the airport to the shop. We get calls and texts from strangers with requests to franchise or share our ideas. So far, we have not accepted any. We also get calls from people from places like Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad seeking our guidance to start a similar enterprise," says Tenaz.
Dreaming ahead
With academics still a priority, the sisters have so far not introduced online shopping, despite growing demand. "We have still kept it small with one staff," they say. However, an enterprise which they thought would wind up after couple of years has acquired wings of its own. "Now, we want to start the HoH sandal brand," says Tenaz.
For Shemayel and Shurouck, the challenge is now in balancing studies and baking. But they juggle well, they say. "At times when I have exams, Shemayel takes care of the baking and when she is busy with projects, my exams would be over," explains Shurock who is a class XII student. But, nevertheless, the sisters work till wee hours to finish orders. "At times we work till 3 a.m.," quips Shemayel, a final year B.B.A student. The sisters started baking young, a talent their mother passed on. But their innovative designs opened new avenues for them. "Initially, we baked for friends and relatives. We learnt by trial and error. Our dad is in the Gulf and he gets us the cake decorations. Mom drives and takes us to the shops we need to buy stuff from," says Shemayel. Customers now come in from Wayanad and Kannur, they say. New designs are sure a test of skills. But it is the growing clamour of cartoon characters that have so far tested their creative patience. But Sugar Sisters admit, a bakery is definitely on their plan.

Cooper Spur Trail -
In order to access the Cooper Spur Trail, walk through the Cloud Cap Campground to a three-way junction. Tilly Jane Trail #600A is to the right, and Timberline Trail #600 is to the left. Continue straight ahead (south) through the woods. A short distance beyond the wilderness entry bulletin board, a trail leads off to the right. This is an impromptu trail developed by climbers that ascends the south moraine of the Eliot glacier. Keep to the left, the main trail. The trail now leaves the trees (mostly Hemlock and occasional Pacific Silver Fir) and travels over sandy, boulder-strewn slopes. A few gnarled Whitebank Pine dot the hillside just before reaching a junction with the Tilly Jane and Cooper Spur trails. This is where the Cooper Spur trail begins. A few hundred feet up the trail a rock shelter is passed on the right. The trail then parallels Timberline trail for about one mile before beginning a series of switchbacks that takes hikers to a dip in the crest of Cooper Spur and the end of the trail at 8,514'. Pending nice weather, the outstanding views reward those willing to make this steady climb. A return can be made by following the climbers trail down the crest of the moraine. This is not a maintained trail and the tread is often loose rock, and quite narrow in places. Watch your step!
Directions from Hood River: Travel south on Highway 35 for approximately 25 miles to a sign indicating "Cooper Spur Ski Area". Turn right and drive to the Cooper Spur Inn (approximately two miles) and turn left on Road 3512. Follow signs to Cloud Cap (approximately 11 miles). The last nine miles are narrow and unpaved - stay alert. Park near the Cloud Cap Saddle Campground.

Flying out again tomorrow. I received word very early this morning that my grandfather in TN passed away. That makes three grandparents in under a year.
I do realize I am so very blessed to have had them in my life as long as I did, but I fear that knowledge does not make losing them any easier. This will be a particularly difficult one. I was, however, fortunate enough to visit him this summer and speak with him on the phone Sunday. He knew. He was getting ready. He told me he loved me, and that he was proud of the person I had become. He said, "Honey, I've got a lot of respect for you." That may have been the highest compliment he's every given me.
So then, if you can spare it, a bit of traveling dust?

Alcohol is the leading drug problem among America's youth, and causes more than 4,600 deaths each year among people under 21, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Numerous long-term studies have found that the more young people are exposed to alcohol advertising, the more likely they are to drink or to drink more if they are already drinking.
In 2003, the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine recommended that alcohol companies change their audience thresholds to 15 percent based on the presence of 12- to 20 year-olds in the viewing, reading or listening audience. In 2006, 20 state attorneys general requested the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to explore this option with alcohol companies.
"Beer advertisers appear to be filling the gap left by distillers in youth-oriented magazines," said Jernigan. "If the entire industry is serious about underage drinking, it should adopt stricter standards to

Stargazers Fret Over Light Pollution
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho — Last weekend, the Idaho Falls Astronomical Society set up telescopes outside the Museum of Idaho to introduce people to stargazing. But then they saw the light. All but the brightest stars and planets were blotted out by reflection of the city's downtown lights in the night sky.
"We looked at Jupiter and Venus, but pretty much anything overhead, there wasn't a prayer," Mike Hart, president of the society, told the Post Register newspaper. "Those downtown lights point straight up. They're very pretty but the very worst design you could ask for."
Hart and other stargazers say light pollution is increasingly cutting into dark skies across eastern Idaho.
The area's black skies, high altitude and dry climate had long made for such optimum viewing conditions that NASA picked a spot west of Challis last year as the site for a new space observatory.
But the increasing urbanization of eastern Idaho cities, coupled with brighter security lights at Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Cleanup Project, are making it harder to spot heavenly bodies from the region.
The astronomical society holds its annual star party Friday and Saturday at Craters of the Moon National Monument, where 10 times more stars are visible – as many as 7,000 with the naked eye, according to the society's Web site – than in Idaho Falls.
"I know almost nothing about the astronomical aspect, other than the stars get harder to see," said Jack Liebenthal of Driggs, a member of the International Dark Sky Association, which is holding its annual conference in Yellowstone National Park next month. "I'm not an astronomer: I'm just an old guy who doesn't like light in his eyes."
Liebenthal was dazzled by the starry sky over the Teton Valley when he moved to Driggs from Idaho Falls, and remembers showing the spectacle to his granddaughter when she visited from Boise.
"We were out on a moonless night, and I said, 'There's the Milky Way,'" he said. "She said, 'I've never seen that before.'"
Liebenthal and Hart are among those urging area homeowners, businesses and city planners to use fixtures that focus light downward and to oppose bulbs that flood an area with bright, bluish light. Lights at car lots, baseball stadiums and many gas stations are the worst offenders, Liebenthal said.
While Jackson, Wyo., and Blaine County have dark-sky ordinances, Idaho Falls does not, said Todd Meyers, assistant city planner. Current lighting regulations limit the impact of commercial lighting on neighboring residences, he said.
At major intersections or pedestrian areas, the city places streetlights for safety reasons, said Van Ashton of Idaho Falls Power, the municipal electrical utility serving Idaho Falls.
"You're balancing some issues when you talk about light pollution," Ashton said. "Some folks don't want any lights, and others want more."

Alice Springs, Australia
My Rating
I really enjoyed this tour and would happily recommend it. Our tour guide was wonderful and kept everyone happy with his enthusiasm, consideration, knowledge of the sites we visited, pleasant disposition, plus his organisational skills generally.
We helped with food prep, clean up, firewood collection but nothing too onerous. We stayed at simple but well maintained private camp sites. 3 of the 4 had permanently erected tents, while on the last night we slept in swags under the amazing night sky.
The group was made up of mixed nationalities and ages, and this worked well - I was a little concerned that I would not be fit enough (in my fifties in a sedentary job) but I managed the walks OK and I enjoyed the company too.
Milan, Italy
My Rating
This was a very interesting tour. The guide was very knowledgable of the cultural, political and religious history of Milan and Leonardo. It was great to walk through the old part of the city and to have significant sites pointed out. He was able to give a good historical context to Leonardo's work. Although we primarily signed on to the tour to see The Last Supper, this tour was really enriching. The only downside, and outside of the guide's influence, was the hot weather in largely shadeless Milan streets. Despite that, I would recommend this tour as an accompaniment to visiting the painting. (By the way, the limited numbers allowed in for each viewing make it very easy to see properly, unlike a certain other famous painting by the same painter)

London's elected assembly has called for an end to night flights at Heathrow airport.
The UK government is consulting on options for new rules to be implemented in October 2014. In response, the London Assembly - a watchdog on the performance of the city's mayor - has argued that the night flights "should be stopped or reduced to an absolute minimum to reduce sleep disturbance for people living in the capital".
The assembly's health and environment committee adds that "at the very least, planes arriving overnight should approach from the west of London, when weather allows", citing Department for Transport figures which show that "Heathrow's runways were used in a westerly direction approximately 72% of the time" in the period 2002-2011.
The committee estimates that if aircraft landed from the west when weather allows, "only around 40 per cent would fly over the capital" - reducing noise disturbance for around 110,000 people in areas such as Isleworth, Richmond and Hounslow, but increasing it for 15,600 living in parts of Windsor, Datchet and Stanwell Moor.
