Deadly quake rocks Guatemala

Eduardo Verdugo / AP

People who work in office buildings along El Paseo de la Reforma stand outside Wednesday after evacuating their offices due to a Gautemala-centered earthquake felt in Mexico City.

By NBC News staff and wire reports

Updated at 9:21 p.m. ET: A deadly earthquake?off the Pacific coast of Guatemala on Wednesday has killed at least 48 people in two provinces, collapsed buildings, spurred landslides and rattled cities as far away as?San Salvador?and?Mexico City.

Guatemala President Otto Perez Molina told?an afternoon news conference that?the dead are in the northwestern state of San Marcos near the Mexican border, where the majority of the damage occurred.

Earlier, he also said 100 people were missing and 76,000?were without electric power, NBC News reported.

Landslides?blocked roads in some areas, authorities?told Reuters,?and about 40 houses were severely damaged.


The U.S. Geological Survey said the?magnitude-7.4 quake struck?28 miles southwest of Champerico, Guatemala, near the border with Mexico. The epicenter was 25 miles below the surface.

CONRED, the government office for reduction of disasters in Guatemala, told NBC News an aerial?evaluation of affected neighborhoods was being carried out amid reports of walls collapsing in homes and the loss of power and telephone services.

The manager of the?Grand Tikal Futura Hotel in the capital, Guatemala City, told NBC News that she felt a "strong earthquake" but that the building had sustained no damage and?guests were returning to their rooms.

A Reuters witness in Guatemala City said people were evacuating homes in parts of the capital, and firefighters and rescue workers were on alert. Office workers were also evacuating buildings in Mexico City and in the capital of the Mexican state of Chiapas, across the border from Guatemala.

"It was really big, I felt quite nauseous,''?secretary Vanessa Castillo, 32, who was evacuated from her 10th-floor office in Guatemala City, told Reuters.

Building janitor Jorge Gamboa said, "I was in the bathroom. When I came out the office was empty and I thought, 'what's happening? They didn't even say goodbye.'''

The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was a possibility of a local tsunami, within 100 or 200 miles of the epicenter, but they were not issuing an immediate warning for the broader region.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Top 10 Must-Own Tools For Home Improvement Jobs ? CBS Los ...

Whether you are a first-time homeowner or clueless about home improvement, the time will soon come when you need to break out the toolbox. Every person should have a set of tools handy around their home as quick repairs often prevent the need for costly fixes. So how does your toolbox currently look? Should you find yourself lacking in this department, take a look at 10 essential tools you should always have.

1. Flathead and Phillips screwdrivers. Screwdrivers are a huge must for any toolkit as the chances of you manually securing a screw are slim to none. Flathead screwdrivers not only lock in flathead screws, but can also help you with prying and scraping. Phillips screwdrivers, on the other hand, have a four-star point that allows for more torque to be applied. They are a preferred screwdriver for many home improvements.

2. Tape measure. A universal tool among many industries, a good tape measure will allow for more project accuracy. When looking for a tape measure, choose one that is spring-loaded so you can quickly retract when not in use. Twenty-five foot metal measuring tapes are most common.

3. Safety glasses. Proper safety glasses are often overlooked by many home improvement DIYers and even some professionals. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are about 2.5 million eye injuries each year?with more than 50 percent occurring at or near the home. Safety glasses can not only protect you from unexpected debris, but also harmful irritants.

4. Hammer. Hammers will literally be your driving force that will assist you in adding and removing nails. They even come in handy for demolition jobs. Claw hammers in particular have a strong face and a double prong or claw back to assist in nail removals. As there are many hammers on the market, choose one that has a manageable weight and sturdy grip.

5. Electric drill and bits. Modern advancements have awarded those involved in home improvements some assistance with manual labor. Wireless electric drills and bits not only make drilling more effortless, but also give you the additional power to tackle hefty materials like sheetrock. Why waste time and physical energy you may not have to drill tough holes when you have an item in your toolkit to remove that burden?

6. Crescent wrench. There are tons of wrenches on the market, but a crescent wrench will take you far. An essential tool, this wrench has so many uses and flexibility in adjustments that will come in handy when dealing with nuts and bolts of different sizes.

7. Stud finder. Unless you are psychic, the chances of you locating each and every stud behind your wall are pretty minute. Keep a stud finder nearby when you are trying to find potential load-bearing walls.

8. Needle-nose pliers. These pliers are a popular tool among household toolboxes because they offer great assistance with those pesky electrical tasks. Needle-nose pliers have a long and thin nose that make them ideal for bending or stripping wires. Should you ever have to make a decision between ?the red one or the green one,? be sure to use pliers.

9. Utility knife. If MacGyver had constant access to a utility knife, he just might have been able to get out of those tricky situations a little faster. Utility knives are a no-brainer for your first tool kit because they have a concealable, ultra sharp blade that will always come in handy. As most DIY projects and repairs tend to have things that need to be cut, it is best to keep this knife in your inventory.

10. Level. Last but certainly not least is a level. Levels can be the difference between hanging a crooked picture or flat-screen TV on the wall. They also keep things level when you replace windows or install a new door. Now equipped with lasers, levels will help ensure your projects are properly installed.

Obama wins second term, Romney concedes defeat

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fresh from a decisive re-election win, President Barack Obama returns from the campaign trail on Wednesday with little time to savor victory, facing urgent economic and fiscal challenges and a still-divided Congress capable of blocking his every move.

Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney on Tuesday night after a grueling presidential race and used his acceptance speech in front of a huge cheering crowd in Chicago to strike a conciliatory note toward his political opponents.

But in the cold light of the election's morning-after, it was clear that even though voters have given their stamp of approval for a second Obama term, he could have a hard time translating that into a mandate to push forward with his agenda.

Americans chose to stick with a divided government in Washington by leaving the U.S. Congress as it has been since the midterm elections of 2010.

Obama's fellow Democrats retain control of the Senate and Republicans keep the majority in the House of Representatives, giving them power to curb the president's legislative ambitions.

This is the political reality that Obama - who won a far narrower victory over Romney than his historic election as the country's first black president in 2008 - faces when he returns to Washington later on Wednesday.

But that did not stop him from basking in the glow of re-election together with thousands of elated supporters in his hometown of Chicago early on Wednesday.

"You voted for action, not politics as usual," Obama said, calling for compromise and pledging to work with leaders of both parties to reduce the deficit, to reform the tax code and immigration laws, and to cut dependence on foreign oil.

Obama told the crowd he hoped to sit down with Romney in the coming weeks and examine ways to meet the challenges ahead.

But the problems that dogged Obama in his first term, which cast a long shadow over his 2008 campaign message of hope and change, still confront him. He must tackle the $1 trillion annual deficits, rein in the $16 trillion national debt, overhaul expensive social programs and deal with the split Congress.

The immediate focus for Obama and U.S. lawmakers will be to confront the "fiscal cliff," a mix of tax increases and spending cuts due to extract some $600 billion from the economy at the end of the year barring a deal with Congress.

House Majority Leader John Boehner moved swiftly on the fiscal cliff issue, saying he would issue a statement on it on Wednesday, citing "the need for both parties to find common ground and take steps together to help our economy grow and create jobs, which is critical to solving our debt."

Obama also faces looming international challenges like the West's nuclear standoff with Iran, the civil war in Syria, the winding down of the war in Afghanistan and dealing with an increasingly assertive China.

Romney, a multimillionaire former private equity executive, came back from a series of campaign stumbles to fight a close battle after besting Obama in the first of three presidential debates.

But the former Massachusetts governor failed to convince voters of his argument that his business experience made him the best candidate to repair a weak U.S. economy.

The nationwide popular vote remained extremely close with Obama taking about 50 percent to 49 percent for Romney after a campaign in which the candidates and their party allies spent a combined $2 billion. But in the state-by-state system of electoral votes that decides the White House, Obama notched up a comfortable victory.

By early on Wednesday, Obama had 303 electoral votes, well over the 270 needed to win, to Romney's 206. Florida's close race was not yet declared, leaving its 29 electoral votes still to be claimed.

Romney, 65, conceded in a speech delivered to disappointed supporters at the Boston convention center. "This is a time of great challenge for our nation," he told the crowd. "I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.

He warned against partisan bickering and urged politicians on both sides to "put the people before the politics."

The Republican Party, after losing two presidential contests, is now likely to go through a period of painful soul-searching, especially over how it has alienated Hispanic voters, an important constituency in Obama's victory.

'FAILURES OR EXCESSES'

In the election aftermath, there were signs that partisan gridlock would persist in Washington.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell gave no sign that he was willing to concede his conservative principles, in a sign of potential confrontations ahead.

"The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term, they have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington after two years of one-party control," McConnell said.

Obama's win puts to rest the prospect of wholesale repeal of his 2010 healthcare reform law, which aims to widen the availability of health insurance coverage to Americans, but it still leaves questions about how much of his signature domestic policy achievement will be implemented.

Obama, who took office in 2009 as the ravages of the financial crisis were hitting the U.S. economy, must continue his efforts to ignite strong growth and recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. An uneven recovery has been showing some signs of strength but the country's jobless rate, currently at 7.9 percent, remains stubbornly high.

DIVIDED CONGRESS

In keeping control of the 100-member Senate, Democrats seized Republican-held seats in Massachusetts and Indiana while retaining most of those they already had, including in Virginia and Missouri.

The Republican majority in the 435-member House means that Congress still faces a deep partisan divide as it turns to the fiscal cliff and other issues.

"That means the same dynamic. That means the same people who couldn't figure out how to cut deals for the past three years," said Ethan Siegel, an analyst who tracks Washington politics for institutional investors.

While the Senate result was no surprise, Republicans had given themselves an even chance of winning a majority, so the night represented a disappointment for them.

U.S. stock futures slipped, the dollar fell and benchmark Treasuries rose after Obama's victory, which investors took to mean no dramatic shift in U.S. economic policy.

International leaders offered their congratulations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had a testy relationship with the U.S. leader, vowed to work with Obama "to ensure the interests that are vital for the security of Israel's citizens.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain and the United States should make finding a way to solve the Syrian crisis a priority following Obama's re-election.

Colts players shave heads to support Pagano | Cancer Kick


Decrease fontDecrease font
Enlarge fontEnlarge font

Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia in early October.NFL Team Page

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Andrew Luck has joined the shaved squad, too.

Nearly three dozen players on the Indianapolis Colts have shaved their heads in a show of support for head coach Chuck Pagano, who is undergoing treatment for a form of leukemia.

Luck became a new member of the no-hair club Wednesday morning. Players and coaches were not available for comment because they were headed to Jacksonville, but a team spokesman confirmed that Luck will indeed look quite different when he takes off his helmet Thursday night.

?Buzzed heads and orange locks in honor of Chuck,? team owner Jim Irsay tweeted. He also included a link to a photo showing many of the players who had gotten buzzed.

Indianapolis (5-3) has gone to great lengths to give their ailing coach encouragement.

Reggie Wayne wore orange gloves against Green Bay, the ribbon color used to raise awareness for leukemia. Nameplates above player?s lockers at the team complex now include orange stickers with Pagano?s initials in the middle of Indy?s trademark horseshoe. They sent Pagano a game ball after their surprising win over the Packers on Oct. 4. Irsay has placed signs reading (hash)Chuckstrong in each end zone of Lucas Oil Stadium, and the team has been trying to raise money to support leukemia research.

The newest addition to the agenda came late Tuesday when the team said Wayne, Luck and interim coach Bruce Arians would participate in a fundraiser at Dunaway?s, a local restaurant, on Nov. 16. They will sign autographs and take photos with fans to help benefit The Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

So when Pagano showed up in the Colts? locker room Sunday without his grayish hair or trademark goatee, player director of engagement David Thornton decided to bring in a barber following Tuesday?s practice.

The idea was an immediate hit ? and seems to be growing larger by the day.

About two dozen players, including kicker Adam Vinatieri, defensive end Cory Redding, Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea and punter Pat McAfee, left the team headquarters Tuesday night with no hair. It?s a new look for McAfee, who had a ponytail until last fall when he cut it off and donated the hair to Locks of Love, a cancer charity.

?We haven?t been together long? But we?re in this together,? McAfee wrote in a Twitter message.

On Wednesday morning, more players joined the contingent, including Luck, the No. 1 overall draft pick and this week?s AFC offensive player of the week.

At this rate, all of the Colts could have a whole team without hair playing Thursday night at the Jaguars. Arians, one of Pagano?s close friends and a prostate cancer survivor, doesn?t have any hair, either, though he?s donned that look all season.

Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia on Sept. 26 and remained hospitalized for treatment until Oct. 21. He watched the next two Colts games from his home before doctors allowed him to attend Sunday?s victory over Miami. Pagano watched the 23-20 victory from the coaches? box and spoke with his team before and after the game.

?I?ve got circumstances. You guys understand it, I understand it,? Pagano said in an emotional postgame speech. ?It?s already beat. It?s already beat. My vision that I?m living is to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and then lift the Lombardi Trophy several times. I?m dancing at two more weddings and we?re hoisting that trophy together, men. Congratulations, I love all of you.?

On Monday, Pagano?s physician, Dr. Larry Cripe of the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, said Pagano was in ?complete remission.? Cripe said Pagano is still scheduled to have two more rounds of chemotherapy. The second round starts this week and will last four to six weeks, Cripe said.

Arians has said the Colts hope to have Pagano back on the sideline Dec. 30, Indy?s regular season finale against Houston.

Naples Waterfront Condos Offer Abundant Luxury and Recreation ...

Warm air, sandy beaches, miles of waterways, abundant nature preserves and vast, verdant golf courses greet travelers and acquaint them with all that Naples has to offer. Imagine waking each morning to the beauty of a town nestled between the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico to its west and surrounded by Naples Bay.

For water lovers, Naples is the perfect place to set down roots, whether those roots are permanent or just part-time. More than 16 percent of Naples consists of water, making it an ideal setting for waterfront property. Take the ease of living that Naples is so well-known for a step further with stress-free Naples waterfront condos. All the comforts and amenities of a luxury beach home are available in Naples waterfront condos, without the larger responsibilities of a free-standing home.

There are many beautiful communities featuring waterfront condos, and here are some of our favorites.

Mediterra
The subdivisions of the Mediterra community, such as Porta Vecchio and Monterossa, offer Naples waterfront condos that look and feel like free-standing homes. The condos face small ponds off Naples Bay and are mostly 2,000-plus square feet of Italianate-inspired architecture and luxury design.

?

Most of the low-rise units feature high-end decor such as crown molding, glazed tile flooring, granite counter tops and hardwood flooring. Owning a home in Mediterra puts you squarely in country club living, with two 18-hold Fazio golf courses, tennis courts, clubhouse, private beach club, swimming pools and hiking/fitness trails. It is everything you could want in waterfront living.

Pelican Landing
Just a few minutes north of Naples is Bonita Springs, Fla., and the community of Pelican Landing. This top-notch gated community combines garden, mid-rise and bayside high-rise condominiums with resort living. The high-rise condos, Florencia, provide stunning views in all directions with spacious floor plans and upscale design. Pelican Landing has its own island beach, bocce and tennis courts and canoe/kayak parks. A fitness center, butterfly garden and community center round out the community?s many amenities.

Bonita Bay
?Bonita Bay?s high-rise condominiums bring together luxurious living with ecologically responsible development. With 230 acres of lakes amid 1,400 acres of open space, there is still plenty of nature to be seen from the high-rise viewpoint. Couple that open space with vast nature preserves, 12 miles of bike trails and four waterfront parks, and you have an extensive network of recreation opportunities. Of course, Bonita Bay includes a membership club with tennis courts, a marina, two clubhouses, a fitness center and waterfront dining.

Barefoot Beach Club
Naples waterfront condos at Barefoot Beach are more traditionally Floridian in design. Surrounded by palm trees and mangroves, the mid-rise condos face the Gulf of Mexico and have bird?s-eye views of glorious sunsets. The four communities of Barefoot Beach Club are a mix of villas, garden homes, cottages and three condominium buildings. The private clubhouse of Barefoot Beach presents docking facilities, beachfront dining and reciprocal golf/recreation agreements with other area clubs.

Waterfront in Naples
The community name says it all! The two-story condos of Waterfront in Naples count four units per building, so the condos feel more like single family homes. They really are waterfront, with canals alongside the back of many of the units for docking a boat or just enjoying the sound of water very nearby. The private community enjoys clubhouse recreation, as well as access to nature trails and the Gulf of Mexico.

Without a doubt, there are Naples waterfront condos available to suit every price range and lifestyle preference. With its quaint downtown, various shopping districts, numerous nature preserves and vast recreation opportunities, Naples offers waterfront living at its finest.
