Environmentalists want to tear down O'Shaughnessy Dam and restore the Hetch Hetchy Valley, but does their plan hold water?
Follow the trail from Yosemite National Park's Rancheria Falls up along dusty switchbacks and down through a canopy of pines and madrones for roughly three miles, and you will reach Tiltill Valley.
Accessible only to hikers and horseback riders, the backwoods meadow hums with the chatter of birds, bees, and the distant rush of water spilling over rocks. Butterflies dart among wild orchids, lilies, yarrow, and other kinds of flowering plants that thrive there, and a lone sequoia stands along the perimeter. The valley floor is lush and boggy, with the forested hills of the High Sierra as its backdrop.
Tiltill Valley is a real-life example of what Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley might look like if the reservoir that holds San Francisco's water supply were drained and the terrain allowed to return to its natural state, according to Mike Marshall, executive director of Restore Hetch Hetchy.
His nonprofit group has a singular mission, as the title suggests. The upbeat, 50-year-old former political consultant wants to place a charter amendment on the November 2012 ballot to ask San Francisco voters if Hetch Hetchy Reservoir should be drained so that the valley, which has been underwater since 1923, can be ecologically restored and turned into an attraction for park visitors.
Yet that simply stated goal belies an extraordinarily difficult and expensive task, one that would fundamentally alter San Francisco's water delivery system and diminish a city-owned source of inexpensive, green energy.
"The destruction of Hetch Hetchy Valley in the 1920s was the worst environmental disaster to ever besiege the national park system," Marshall says. "And today, it is completely out of whack with the values of the vast majority of people who live here."
But most city officials think this idea is just plain crazy. Whether or not it was a good idea to build the dam originally, they say it's unwise and unrealistic to spend scarce resources to destroy one of city's most valuable assets.
"While it is an interesting idea, I don't think that there is yet a credible plan to move forward and actually restore Hetch Hetchy that will ensure that within our budget, we'll be able to get the water that 2.5 million Bay Area customers need, as well as do everything else that the current Hetch Hetchy system does," Board President David Chiu told the Guardian.
Based in San Francisco, Restore Hetch Hetchy worked in tandem with the Environmental Defense Fund and a consulting firm to craft a technical analysis describing how the city could continue receiving reliable freshwater deliveries without the reservoir, although it would require filtration because of its lower quality and be less abundant in drought years.
While restoring the valley would be an ecological win in a perfect world, cost estimates range in the billions of dollars at a time when budgets are shrinking and economic turbulence rocks the public and private sectors.
Draining Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and replacing it with other water and power projects would punch holes in an already cash-strapped city budget, first with the high capital costs and then with higher long-term annual costs. The hydro-electric system provides carbon-free electricity to city agencies at basement rates and helps fund local renewable-energy projects, so relinquishing some of that generation capacity would be a step backward when it comes to addressing climate change.
If 3000 housholds in San Francisco turned off ONE 60watt light bulb, the Hetch Hetchy power generator would not be needed. If 20,000 housholds changed ONE 60 watt light bulb to a 40 watt light bulb, the need for Hetch Hetchy power would be erased. The power generator at Hetch Hetchy is INSIGNIFICANT.
But in any event, the decision about a great national and international scenic treasure should not be made with much regard to the view of people in any one City. It's a national/global matter - SF can be made good re water and power if necessary.
Whether SF has public or private power or water is a footnote issue compared to the massive environmental import to such an issue. And of course SF voters have never expressed much interest in municipal-owned utilities at the ballot box.
Smash San Francisco and San Franciscans! Restore the Hetch Hetchy!
O'Shaugnessy damn can be removed, Hetch Hetchy valley restored, and San Francisco and the SFPUC customers kept whole on electricity and water.
The benefits of another Yosemite valley for the communities of the central Sierra will generate dividends far greater than any short term costs.
Given that the system is gravity fed, extra turbines can be put into place to drive the filtration systems.
Hydropower is by no means "green energy," although it is "carbon free."
In a full analysis, Hetch Hetchy is not carbon free. When plants are drowned out by higher water levels when dam waters rise, or when new dams are built, there is a lot of biological die-off and decomposition that releases methane and carbon dioxide.
Contrarily, if the Hetch Hetchy Valley were restored, it would burst forth as forest and grassland again and return to the job of soaking up carbon dioxide in trees, vegetation, and soil.
Evaporation is also immense from dam reservoirs because they are big spaces of surface water open to the sun. That added water vapor load to the atmosphere amplifies storm events already being increased by the climate crisis; and water vapor itself is a powerful greenhouse gas.
So dams are far from carbon free and atmosphere friendly.
on any post here.
Just sayin'.
Pull the damn dam down.
Operationally, hydropower is effectively carbon free. The water, if left to flow naturally through the Toulumne down to the San Joaquin, would evaporate plenty in the Central Valley and Delta where flows are slack, humidity is low and temperatures high.
There is a natural water cycle of which reservoirs merely concentrate existing vapor somewhat, while in contrast, the carbon cycle had been relatively fixed until human industrial activity upped the carbon load in the atmosphere.
Set up and tear down of damns have carbon footprints that dwarf the operational footprint, although the "one-time" emission of methane generated by Hetch Hetchy 90 years ago was not a significant contributor to increased GHG concentrations when compared to the bulk of ongoing human industrial activity over the past 200 years.
The main impediment to achieving a tear down is Federal, allowing some alterations in Yosemite to tear the damn down as well as downstream in the national forest and private land to make up the water storage and electrical differences.
This project will face challenges from conservatives who believe that America's best days are behind us (you know I love saying this), that we can't afford a pot to piss in anymore. But if they continue administering their current parasitic economic prescriptions, they will have sucked the host dry enough for them to starve but hopefully not too much for us as a nation as well as Hetch Hetchy valley, to enjoy a full recovery.
The main point is that with the imminent very serious climate crisis tipping points which we now face, we need all of the restored habitat we can get in order to begin drawing carbon rapidly back down from the atmosphere into vegetation and soil.
Herrera's uneducated claims about climate are exactly the opposite of reality. We need to ramp up real renewables within our urban areas to replace -both- fossil fuels and hydro power.
With all of that said, the spiritual point is just as real.
The beautiful Hetch Hetchy valley never should have been dammed in the first place, and we need to restore it.
The more opportunities for atmospheric carbon sequestration we can re/create, the better, whether it be in Hetch Hetchy valley or by keeping as much of San Francisco's unpaved landscape sunlit and verdant.
High rise housing that satisfies its "open space" requirement through private decks and builds to full lot coverage, like damns, eliminates opportunities for carbon sequestration.
If John Muir had his way, Hetch Hetchy Valley would not look like Tilltill Valley, it would look like Yosemite Valley. In fact, Tilltill Valley wouldn't look like Tilltill Valley; it'd look more like Little Yosemite Valley (in terms of the impact of people, it is an ugly step-child, that Tilltill, the author should get to more parts of the park). I'm not saying Muir's heart wasn't in the right place; he couldn't foresee the future though.
There is a vast wilderness up above and beyond the Hetch Hetchy, that remains so because of the lack of development brought on by the dam. Just leave it alone. What you'll get is more a-holes on horses, probably a direct trail up to the high sierra camp at Glen Aulin. Ugh, I could just imagine. A whole fleet of busses careening down that road. And worse, you'd have some dipshit gardeners trying to "recreate the wilderness", WHICH IS AN OXYMORON, and I'm sure the fencing along the paths will be low enough so that you can take pictures over the fence and not through it, but stay on the trail cause that is one expensive garden we just put in. Picture Chrissy Field, execpt that it abuts actual wilderness instead of a city.
You want the wilderness back? Leave it alone. If the dam falls down, so what? Eventually a glacier is going to come through and scrape it away for free, have some patience. But don't pretend like this is anything other than some dreamy gardening project that has nothing to do with "nature" or "the wilderness." San Francisco can drink seawater for all I care, just leave the wilderness alone. Don't insult peoples' sensibility with your utopian steady-state simulacra of nature. Nature is dynamic and messy and thrives best when unmolested. This dream of bringing back the Hetch Hetchy looks like a frankenstein to me, but hey, maybe that's because I actually spent significant amounts of time up there and not sitting in an office somewheres cooking up bs pipe-dreams.
and another thing, if you are so interested in preserving the yosemite wilderness, here's a great idea that will cost almost nothing: close down the high sierra camps and ban horses (except for rangers on duty.) those stink holes radiate human habituated animals (bears, squirrels, flies, etc.) and create an ecological dead zone around them. It may not look that way to the saddle sore novice from his considerable height above the trail, but when you spend significant time back in the true wilderness, it becomes readily apparent: the animals avoid these little villages unless they want a handout.
So you want to personally own the Sierras because you spend a lot of time there?
I grew up in the Sierras, and my stand is 180 degrees opposite yours.
If the goal is to leave nature alone and let it take care of itself, the dam needs to come down.
Dams aren't static either. The fill with silt, continuously wreck downstream habitat and biodiversity, and inhibit keystone fish species from crucial migration in large populations up and down a watershed; migration which generates absolutely vital biological activity which feeds nutrients to the entire bioregion.
Dams are wounds in Sierra ecosystems, not protective barriers.
Eric, you must know alot, but nothing about which you are speaking in this case. I appreciate the intitial ad hominem strawman, may I offer one to you? So you want to tear down the dam just so you personally can fizzle away carbon on all these computer servers? Is that why cause, hmm?
Aside from that, all of your dam arguments are generalized, and have little or nothing to do with Hetch Hetchy.
Since you are likely both a pedant and a bore, I won't waste my time in some long-winded continuations of this explanation to keep you company, but I will a little.
First, I recommend some reading: The Battle Over Hetch Hetchy, by Robert Righter, would be a good start.
"The fill with silt" - not the hetch hetchy, (read the article you are commenting on)
"inhibit keystone fish species from crucial migration in large populations up and down a watershed; migration which generates absolutely vital biological activity which feeds nutrients to the entire bioregion." - not the hetch hetchy, that would be Don Pedro.
"Dams are wounds in Sierra ecosystems, not protective barriers." -not the case with the hetch hetchy, but then you haven't been there to know.
"That added water vapor load to the atmosphere amplifies storm events already being increased by the climate crisis; and water vapor itself is a powerful greenhouse gas." - also not relevant.
"there is a lot of biological die-off and decomposition that releases methane and carbon dioxide." - they pulled the trees, also not relevant.
"The beautiful Hetch Hetchy valley never should have been dammed in the first place, and we need to restore it." -- hey! your half right! but even John Muir's arguments at the time involved putting in hotels and other amenities, which probably would have led to looky! "bears at a dump" and a nightly "firefall" among other nonsense. That is the irony of this dam. People are too caught up in their polemics and EGO gratifications to see it clearly. If it didn't happen to be in "Yosemite" no one would be giving a fuck. Check out dams in the Emigrant Wilderness if you really care about these "wounds." You could probably take them out for 100k, and actually do some good.
By the way, I only own the wilderness "personally" when there is no one else around.
And the animals only own it when nobody is around. And the O'Shaughnessy Dam has done a lot over the years by just being there to make that happen.
I'm including Don Pedro and all dams in my analysis.
Eventually they must all be removed.
The salmon and unhindered watersheds must be allowed to return.
They are the crucial nutrient and carbon conveyor system for nearly all of our coastal bioregions.
Erosion carries nutrients down to the lower elevations and the oceans, and the salmon bring those nutrients back up.
This vital ancient relationship must be restored.
Yes, and we must remove all the cities and people while we are at it. I thought you said you were born somewhere on this planet.
Say, you want to start removing dams of the hetch hetchy system, why not start with Cherry Lake? That is used just for hydroelectric, full of carp, and it would keep out all those yahoos with powerboats. Oh wait, that's no holy grail, nevermind.
Removing all dams is a perfectly realizable goal which doesn't in the slightest require the major shift in human civilization that you are implying.
You are now simply playing the contrarian to everything I say rather than engaging in honest dialogue.
If you are going to be a troll, go back up onto the mountain...
out of earshot and away from all internet connections... ;)
what honest dialogue? go back and reread. you happen to be a little trollish, if you ask me.
i have addressed what you said because I think it is wrong-headed. you on the other hand have address nothing i have said, made a few ad hominem attacks and sweeping generalizations with no basis in reality. for example, the salmon aren't going anywhere near the hetch hetchy (if they ever would) without the removal of the don pedro. so why don't you start there and stop barking up the wrong tree? also read that book i recommended and get back in a few days. you are just ignorant on this subject, nothing to be ashamed of.
i do prefer mountain trolls, they are sensible creatures compared to the ones you find around here.
Apparently, you are so hot to get in a shouting match that you are not reading everything I wrote in this thread before typing.
I countered one of the many absurd claims you made quite specifically and gave the link to a web site to show the proof. (Sorry I'm not going to take every single one of them on; I don't have that kind of time.) I also specifically clarified that indeed, Don Pedro needs to come down in order for anadromous fish to return to that watershed.
To be blunt, I don't take seriously the pseudo-scientific arguments of a person who is uneducated enough to believe that Hetchy doesn't collect silt.
That pretty much disqualified you right off the bat in the take-what-I-am-saying-on-faith department. And it shows that your puffed up posturing, that I somehow don't know what I am talking about is highly questionable.
I grew up in those mountains. I am an environmentalist of many decades experience, part of which was specifically dedicated to watershed restoration.
I do indeed know what I'm talking about.
fair enough, you posted a link. my comment happend you cross paths with it on the internets. as i began writing my comment, however, that was not the case.
your link was an anecdotal comment of someone who took a boat up to the front of the lake during the spring drawdown and saw some stumps and silt. i can even begin to tell you how scientifically irrelevant that is. you should know better if that is your specialty. of course the hetch hetchy collects silt. in fact alot of that silt your eye-witness saw was probably there even before the dam, seeing how it had stumps in it.
whwen you talk generally about dams and their effects on the enviroment, do you suppose there might be some individual variations, say, i dunno, glen canyon dam vs. o'shaughnessy? what's coming down stream from where? to suppose that the hetch hetchy doesn't collect silt to any degree significant to make it a part of the argument is hardly pseudoscience, and speak to the lengths someone like yourself goes to find proof for something they are already convinced of.
what would interest me, is what you would think of the wilderness up above the hetch hetchy, because apparently, protecting the wilderness is what this crusade is all about.
Let's look at this from another perspective.
Rivers and streams can be analogized to the circulatory system of the human body. They serve pretty much exactly the same purposes to the land, as our blood vessels do to our bodies.
Imagine for a moment, what would happen to your health, if miniature space aliens came along one day and colonized the inside of your body.
Further imagine, that they decided for various reasons (ease of agriculture, industry, etc) to start putting dams all over the place in your circulatory system, artificially pooling your blood in various reservoirs, using the collected blood for agriculture, industry and recreation instead of letting it flow freely to your organs, your extremities, your digestive system, and most importantly, your heart and brain.
Imagine what this would do to your body.
That, is what we have done to the land, and the mountains, every watershed, and even the sea.
Oh brother! I was hoping to read a decent rebuttal to MOTM's comments, but all Eric Brooks did was prove MOTM's points with this last nonsensical diatribe. Surely that's why this particular conversation ended here.
Thank you, Man on the Mountain, for giving me some genuinely useful information and insight into this highly emotionally charged issue. Thank you very much.
By the way, don't mistake Tyrone Jue's crystal clear water salespitch as a claim that Hetch Hetchy doesn't collect silt.
All dam reservoirs do. It is impossible for them not to.
In fact David Brower describes Hetch Hetchy silt deposits in an essay at:
have you even seen the hetch hetchy? i am curious.
you should see the streams and river that flow into it. those things are sparklingly clear. I'm sure there is some silt. Hell, the valley was basically comprised of grass growing on silt. I don't know if they tested the silt since that 1990 highly biased "article" but i imagine, given what is happeneing up there, the greatest source of silt would be the retreat of the high country snow fields or the occaisonal massive flood. probably though, a lot of that silt would have been deposited in the valley whether or not there was a dam, that's how those meadows are created out of lakes over time, until the glacier comes by and scrapes it clean.
don't worry eric, you'll get what you want, you don't even have to lift a finger. it's just not going to happen in your lifetime or anytime soon. the mountains operate on geologic time.
If you take out this water supply are you doing to replace it, are you going to move on to Don Pedro there is more to the bay area beside San Francsico. What are you doing to do with the other water users, power users.

Hello World, first post here :)
I am planning on getting an iPad. But who isn't, right?
Here's the use I have for it. I am planning a few travels this year and need to backup my Nikon D90's SD memory cards.
I would use the iPad this way, please let me know if it can be done.
1) At end of day, insert SD card in iPad's SD card reader (accessory required)
2) Import photos from card into Photos app
3) Review photos and delete bad ones
4) Post a few of those on Facebook for friend and family at home to follow
5) Copy (dump/save) all reviewed photos (deleted ones are, well, deleted) onto secondary (backup) SD card (previously inserted into accessory card reader)
6) Start over on the next day

Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed this Oscar-Winning instant classic with a superb cast including John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. Pulp Fiction is the skilfully interwoven tale of how the lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife and two small-time thieves connect through vengeance, violence and redemption. Packed with dark humour, witty fast-talk and intense violence Pulp Fiction is widely considered one of the best movies ever made and still remains one of the most original movies to date.

text: The new constitution was approved [JURIST report] by popular referendum earlier this month. Voting on the constitution took place amid concerns that high turnout and heated debate over the referendum could cause a repeat of the violence seen during the country's presidential election [JURIST report] in 2007. The creation of a new constitution was part of a power-sharing agreement [JURIST report] reached in 2009 between Kibaki and opposition leader Prime Minister Raila Odinga [official website] that brought to an end the civil unrest that followed the contested election. Election officials sought to make the referendum as inclusive and peaceful as possible by allowing prisoners to vote and prosecuting those who suggested violence in reaction to the changes [JURIST reports] under hate speech laws.

Have you figured out what you're doin this weekend? If not, let me make a few suggestions…
On Friday you can head to the Vaudeville Mews and catch some local bands. These aren't just any bands, either… They're partially the work of our multi-talented students! Pumptown will play at 7 p.m….A folk/country/rock group made up by an Iowa family, you'll enjoy them – make sure you cheer for D.O. student Amy Hynek! Also The Lymphomaniacs will play. That band includes DMU students James Halgrimson, David Lindenberg, Herman Chiu, Alex Reynolds & Adam Lang! (Plus they've got a funny name!) Buy tickets at the door for $10 or now for $8 at IowaTix.
On Saturday, head over to DMU for the annual AIDS walk/run to raise money for the AIDS Project of Central Iowa. It's a 5k through the beautiful DMU neighborhood. Sign up now!

Rapper T.I. has been sentenced to 11 months behind bars for violating his probation as a result of a drug arrest last month.
RELATED: Learn all about T.I. over at MSN
The "Live Your Life" hit maker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., was taken into custody with his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle after a traffic stop in Los Angeles and they were booked for felony possession of a controlled substance.
T.I. was already on probation for gun charges stemming from an arrest in 2007. He completed a prison sentence related to those charges in December.
RELATED: Which politicians have gone on MTV?
On Friday, the rap star was back in court in his native Atlanta, Georgia, where he pleaded with a judge to spare him further jail time and allow him to enroll in a drug rehabilitation program instead.
Lawyers for the hip-hop star argued T.I. did not deserve the two-year prison sentence suggested by prosecutors for violating the terms of his parole, but the judge decided to revoke his probation and lock him up again.
The court date took place one day after T.I. vowed to turn his life around and leave his troubled ways behind him for good. The turnaround was prompted by praise he received for helping to talk a suicidal man down from the roof of a high-rise building in Atlanta earlier this week.

Best Uses
Comments about Womens Under Armour Charge RC 2 Running Shoe: I use this shoe for cross-training/performance classes. Great fit through the arch. I like the way the shoe "wraps" around the arch. Slight slip in the heel. Fits better with a tab type sock. My only con is when doing plank and/or push-ups the shoe tends to slip on a hard surface. I am constantly readjusting my foot placement. However, I see that as a small con and over all love the shoe. I would definitely buy again for a class. Not enough support for my long runs.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Womens Under Armour Charge RC 2 Running Shoe: Love this shoe! This is my second UA running shoe and after being a loyal Asics fan I have made the switch. The shoe allows you to run "naturally". I have used this shoe for running at the gym, running outside and walking the dogs... perfectly comfortable.. Oh! and the best part it does not have a hard plastic heel structure, so your heels will never get hurt when the fabric on the heel wears off!

(0-1) vs. (0-0)
Time/TV: 7 p.m./FSFlorida
Line: Nuggets by 6
Tickets: $10-$262 on Vivid Seats
Season Series: Tonight in Orlando; January 9 in Denver
Video Vault:
1) No more talking. No more speculating. No more doubting. No more lowered expectations. Tonight is the night it all begins. The Magic have a chance to put a lot of doubters to rest as they play their first game of the season, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes. It is time to prove the doubters wrong, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com writes.
2) The Magic are still going to be shifting and moving this year. J.J. Redick is at peace with his uncertain future in Orlando and recognizes that he might very well be traded some point this season, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. The honesty and openness from Rob Hennigan has certainly made an impression on the franchise.
3) Remember when the Magic nearly acquired Chris Paul in 2010? Yeah, I do too. Except the New Orleans version of the story might have been remember how the Hornets nearly acquired Dwight Howard? OK, maybe not. But Howard and Paul wanted to play together, according to Marc J. Spears, and allegedly picked Dallas as a potential location. Howard would not budge though and was unsure of leaving Orlando... then he wasn't. And Paul got impatient.
4) Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel provides us with a little history lesson. The Magic might be down right now, but one thing they have shown in the past is that they are not out.
5) Wages of Wins explains why Ty Lawson might be a better point guard than Russell Westbrook.
6) George Karl wants to find something to tell Evan Fournier to improve on. But the rookie has caught on fast and made an unexpected impact in his first game, Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post writes.
7) Arron Afflalo is downplaying his first matchup against his old team, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes. The emotions of opening night go ahead of it.
8) Evaluations of the Dwight Howard trade begin in earnest tonight, Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel writes.
9) Noam Schiller of MagicBasketball.net answers five pressing questions about the Magic such as who steps up at shooting guard and how does the front court mess get solved.
10) MagicBasketball.net names Bo Outlaw the Magic's 10th best player of all time.
11) Danilo Gallinari will suit up for the Nuggets tonight at less than 100 percent after missing Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post reports.
12) Brooke Thomas of FSFlorida gets to know Jameer Nelson a little better.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished schol-
ars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology
and to their use for the general welfare. On the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in
1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and techni-
cal matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration
and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for
advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs
aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achieve-
ments of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the
services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining
to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of
Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, on its own initiative,
to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the
Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate
the broad community of science and technology with the Academys Ē p urposes of furthering knowledge and
advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Acad-
emy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences

FOREWORD Airport administrators, engineers, and researchers often face problems for which infor-
mation already exists, either in documented form or as undocumented experience and
practice. This information may be fragmented, scattered, and unevaluated. As a conse-
quence, full knowledge of what has been learned about a problem may not be brought to
bear on its solution. Costly research findings may go unused, valuable experience may be
overlooked, and due consideration may not be given to recommended practices for solv-
ing or alleviating the problem.
There is information on nearly every subject of concern to the airport industry. Much of
it derives from research or from the work of practitioners faced with problems in their day-
to-day work. To provide a systematic means for assembling and evaluating such useful in-
formation and to make it available to the entire airport community, the Airport Cooperative
Research Program authorized the Transportation Research Board to undertake a continu-
ing project. This project, ACRP Project 11-03, "Synthesis of Information Related to Air-
port Practices," searches out and synthesizes useful knowledge from all available sources
and prepares concise, documented reports on specific topics. Reports from this endeavor
constitute an ACRP report series, Synthesis of Airport Practice.
This synthesis series reports on current knowledge and practice, in a compact format,
without the detailed directions usually found in handbooks or design manuals. Each report
in the series provides a compendium of the best knowledge available on those measures
found to be the most successful in resolving specific problems.
PREFACE This synthesis study provides a comprehensive summary of funding opportunities and
By Gail R. Staba strategies available to airports to accomplish their environmental programs and objectives.
Senior Program Officer The federal grants.gov website and individual state and territorial government websites
Transportation were reviewed, as well as specific examples of the successful pursuit of airport environ-
Research Board mental funding. Additional effort was made in this report to identify funding opportunities
from private sources, including both for-profit and nonprofit entities.
The primary method of research was an intensive review of federal and state government
websites. For federal funding opportunities other than FAA programs, www.grants.gov was
the primary source of information. Review of this website was supplemented by research on
individual agency websites. On occasion where limited information was available informa-
tion was obtained from the individuals listed as program contacts. In addition, interviews
were conducted with airport staff to obtain information on their experiences with non-FAA
financing opportunities, as well as the Voluntary Airport Low Admission (VALE) program.
Barry Molar, Unison Consulting, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, collected and synthesized the
information and wrote the report. The members of the topic panel are acknowledged on the
preceding page. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices
that were acceptable within the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its
preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added
to that now at hand.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Hospitalizations Due to Energy Drinks on the RiseBy Heather Hubbs, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa-- A recent government report found the number of visits to emergency facilities linked to energy drinks doubled from 2007 to 2011. During that time, the F-D-A banned one drink that mixed caffeine and alcohol, called four loko.
Just one energy drink can be equal to five cups of coffee. Many of those who went to the ER said they drank as many as four energy drinks in a single day. Having that much caffeine, especially in such a short period of time can cause cardiovascular problems, such as fast or irregular heartbeat. Of the nearly 21,000 people who went to the ER with symptoms such as this about 70 percent were men and 42 percent mixed energy drinks with drugs or alcohol. So we asked a local doctor how much is safe to drink? "Two cups of coffee up to four cups spread throughout the day is reasonable. Throw in a soda on top of that or energy drinks on top of that, then it's too much," said Dr. Cam Campbell, Medical Director of Cardiovascular Services at Mercy Medical. Doctors say if you have pre-existing conditions such as heart problems, you are even more at risk of complications and should avoid high levels of caffeine.

ReportI've bought a number of lovely things from Perfect Rooms, including scatter cushions and little bits and pieces. I really like looking around the store and everyone inside is always so friendly. I first stumbled into the shop to get out of the rain during a dull day in Corsham, and it's become one of the local shops I often frequent.

Aaaand here are some recent life drawings. Her face is a little dodgy in the last pic though, hah.
Should be updating at least once a week, thanks for looking.
this is one hell of a insane sketchbook really inspiring because you're so young!!! i cant wait to do more art
You're 17!? Seeing your work is a major motivator! I am very much looking forward to seeing your progress I hope you're able to update frequently.
Damn man, this is some really good stuff you've got going on.
I love how you increase the feeling of depth with that corpse lying around in the right corner! It's really well done. The skulls on the opposite side don't add very much though. They seem kind of flat. I can only tell you to keep going, because you're definitely going in the right direction!
@Stpete : Thanks
@SophieW : Thank you!
@Bjulvar : Thanks for the crit, that was the first big piece I have ever done. You're right about the skulls, I believe I added them to just fill the space - could have done with a bit more thought though.
Here's a bit of life drawing from last week. I have also done 8 pages of A3 studies but the quality of the A3 scanner at school is unbearable. When there's some bright natural light I'll photograph the pages and get them up here.
Not too much art going on this week because of decisions about uni. I'll be applying for a mix of game art and illustration courses I think.
Time to get some digital stuff on here.
First speedpainting was done a few weeks back, the next were done today. Colour is something I really struggle with and need to look into.
say whut your 17 your amazing dude
Every critique helps me to get on step closer towards my dream so feel free to
As people have said for 17 this is all quite impressive. The 2 women in the background of the 2nd piece in your first post are bugging me a bit though. Their poses seem a little to similar (it might be because they are facing the same direction). If you changed the direction of one of them or altered the pose so they were not as similar it would make them seem less statue-esque. Just a thought. Keep it up
i wish i painted at 17, damn you!
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
My Sketchbook-
Some bad news for my ego.
Impressive works!
It's been already said - your skills at the age of 17 are truly amazing.
The only comment I have is about the big painting of the throne hall with angry minotaur-like dude: composition. Why didn't his horns make it inside the canvas? And why can't we see what's the source of the light above him? I miss that because I am sure you'd come up with something great.

Thanks a bunch guys, it's nice to know dabbling in digital painting since I was 11 has paid off a bit. Small update of 3 Sargent (how predictable!) studies, focused on colour with these. Still got 11 or so sketchbook pages to scan in.
@Ghast : That would look a lot nicer actually, I'll try that out ^^
@stan-c : Great points man! I didn't think about those compositional elements when painting it (*facepalm*), I'll keep things like that in mind next time.
Thanks a bunch for looking at my sketchbook guys!
@Ghast : Good point, I'll definitely open that pic up again and do something about that ^^
@stan-c : Thanks for the great crit. Those thoughts never occured to me whilst I was painting that, I'll think about those things next time, thank you!
Here's my A3 sketchbook work up till now. Quite a few anatomy book copies and picture studies but I thought it worth posting anyway.
Some have turned out pretty grubby because of the school scanner, oh well.

Race Review Online:
Danica Patrick
Danica Patrick manages to stay in the news in a variety of ways, and during the Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday it was by picking a fight with another driver.
Patrick was upset by some contact Cassill's No. 83 car made while executing a pass, and attempted to show her displeasure by giving Cassill's car a shove and turning him sideways.
That's where things went seriously wrong in Patrick's ill-fated attempt at serving justice.
After the race, Cassill (who finished 18th) had this to say in his defense.
"The reason I hit her is because she was driving like a maniac in 30th place and put all of us at risk. She was just driving crazy on the restarts and I had to get by her, so I just put a fender to her just like I would any other stock car driver.
"This whole thing has probably blown up because of who it was with. It was just hard racing. I'm trying to make it in this sport, just like she is. It was one professional race car driver to another."
No matter...
