(Heathrow Airport) –>CPYRIGHT 2007 The Spectator Ltd. (UK) It is 11 p. on Saturday night and I am way out of my comfort zone. With my husband two young children and dog I have spent the day with 1300 climate campaigners none of whom I knew before in a sodden field near Heathrow’s second runway. Now the five of us are squeezed into a three-man tent rain seeping through the sides listening to the roar of planes taking off and landing.

A Guiding Hand on Icy Terrain
New York Times – Aug 25, 2007
Scientists headed into the field first have to undergo training with Schutt near McMurdo station the Antarctic point of entry described as “half college campus half Alaskan fishing village” by Ralph P. Harvey an associate professor at Case Western Reserve University who heads Ansmet. They get a two-week mountaineering course — knots and harnesses ropes and pulleys how to work the stoves how to set up camp — in a day and a half. “We take people out who’ve never been camping before and their first camping experience is in the Antarctic” Schutt said. A prominent part of the training regimen is crevasse rescue. The scientists will rope together in Alpine fashion. Schutt will signal Harvey with a smile and then drop over the side of a crevasse.

HeraldNet – Aug 25, 2007
The combination of elevation gains and losses and your heavy backpack is a mettle-tester. Leaving Longmire the trail leads over Rampart Ridge to Pyramid Creek. Be very clear where your camping options are on this trip. Hikers pass through Indian Henry’s Hunting Ground over the Tahoma Creek suspension bridge over Emerald Ridge and to St. Andrews and Aurora lakes. There are drop-dead beautiful wilderness camp sites at popular Klapatche Park Camp (some would argue the best on the entire trail). Weather willing you can catch good views of Rainier as well as a stunning sunset from this high-meadow location… Hikers pass through Indian Henry’s Hunting Ground over the Tahoma Creek suspension bridge over Emerald Ridge and to St. Andrews and Aurora lakes.

NIH: Create Action Plans to Control Kids’ Asthma
NPR – Aug 25, 2007
” When Carlson-Dakes was a child there weren’t effective preventive medicines and kids didn’t have inhalers. Parents had few ways of controlling symptoms short of steaming up the bathroom. For many kids activities such as sports and camping trips were a real challenge. “I remember I tried to go on a Girl Scout sleepover” Carlson-Dakes says “and my parents had to get me in the middle of the night because I had an asthma attack. ” But things are very different now for her children. Although two of them suffer from asthma they never end up in ER and don’t miss out on activities. “My daughter can go to Girl Scout camp and she can go on overnights and we don’t have to worry” she says… ” But things are very different now for her children. Although two of them suffer from asthma they never end up in ER and don’t miss out on activities. “My daughter can go to Girl Scout camp and she can go on overnights and we don’t have to worry” she says. That’s because her 9-year-old daughter has several medications to keep symptoms under control. And even on a campout she knows exactly how much of which ones to take when she starts wheezing. There are about 500000 hospitalizations and more than 2 million ER visits each year due to asthma attacks. “Most of these could be prevented” says Boushey if more families learned to stay ahead of the symptoms.
