(AP Photo/Tashi Sherpa) KATHMANDU, Nepal — An American climber who fulfilled his dream of climbing the highest mountains on each of the seven continents died of probable altitude sickness on the way down from Mount Everest, mountaineering officials said. Don Cash became ill at the summit and was treated there by his two Sherpa guides, Pasang Tenje Sherpa, head of Pioneer Adventure, which provided the guides, said Friday. “When he was on the top he just fell. The two Sherpas who were with him gave CPR and massages,” he said. “After that he woke up, then near Hillary Step he fell down again in the same manner, which means he got high altitude sickness.” Altitude sickness is caused by low amounts of oxygen at high elevation and can cause headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath and mental confusion.

Manhart Performance Already Working on BMW X4 M Model
The BMW X3 M and X4 M models have just been unveiled and yet tuners are already announcing plans of creating enhanced versions. It’s not like the cars aren’t already powerful enough, as I’m pretty sure the new S58 engine will most likely be more than adequate for the job, but there’s always room for more, right? The guys from Manhart Performance are apparently already working on an enhanced version of the X4 M according to their latest post on Facebook. For now, this is probably just a preview as no specs have been revealed or exactly what parts will be made available but you can expect the final product to look a lot like this, as it follows the usual Manhart Performance cues. The front end will get a new spoiler under the bumper along with gold accents around the air intakes, creating a mean look. The traditional double-spoke wheels will also be included in the pack along with other visual details. Round the back we’ll get to see a new boot lid … [Read more...] about Manhart Performance Already Working on BMW X4 M Model
Kwame Kilpatrick reveals divorce on Facebook: ‘I lost my marriage’
Detroit Free Press Published 9:42 p.m. UTC Aug 16, 2018 After years of ups and downs, raising children together and struggling through political and personal disasters, Kwame and Carlita Kilpatrick have split up, according to the ex-mayor's official Facebook page. In an emotional post that referenced his affair with his ex-chief of staff Christine Beatty, Kilpatrick wrote that his marriage fell apart in 2008 when text messages revealed that he had cheated on his wife, and officially ended sometime this year. "Honestly, I los(t) my marriage on January 24, 2008. Certainly it languish(ed) and limp(ed) along for 10-years before the divorce was final...but the marriage was over that day," Kilpatrick wrote in his post on the page, called The Freedom and Justice Trust. That is the day the Free Press published text messages that showed he lied during a police whistleblower trial when he testified that he did not have an affair with Beatty and also gave misleading testimony … [Read more...] about Kwame Kilpatrick reveals divorce on Facebook: ‘I lost my marriage’
For Mark Zuckerberg, protecting Facebook means stepping into the spotlight
For many years, Mark Zuckerberg left matters in Washington to his deputies, who have long experience in politics. The Facebook chief executive instead focused on Facebook's future, overseeing the development of cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality and live video streaming.Now, the insularity that shielded Zuckerberg from having to directly defend Facebook in front of lawmakers and regulators has finally cracked. This week, for the first time, the 33-year-old billionaire is scheduled to testify before Congress, part of a crusade to protect not only the company he founded as a college dropout but also his broader legacy. Whether Facebook - and other tech giants, including Google and Twitter - faces more regulation hangs in part on what he says during two long hearings. Instead of planning for the future, Zuckerberg is scrambling to buy time to fix Facebook's past mistakes.Zuckerberg traveled to Washington, D.C., over the weekend and has holed up with advisers to prepare for … [Read more...] about For Mark Zuckerberg, protecting Facebook means stepping into the spotlight
