Timely snowstorms have made this a season to remember for Tahoe resorts
In the advertising world, identifying the appropriate product and developing a marketing scheme behind it is standard procedure.
In some respects, ski resorts are like any other business. They are selling products and services to their customer base and promoting them through advertising to further enhance sales.
However, the guessing game for the ski industry is that their main commodity – snow – can derail even the best marketing plan if it rarely makes an appearance. Of course, on the flip side, snowy weather is by far the industry's greatest advertising tool.
At Lake Tahoe resorts this season, marketing reps can't stop smiling. Their job has been rather simple, thanks to timely snowstorms that arrived before their three main holidays – Thanksgiving, Christmas and Presidents Day weekend.
"Fresh snow really makes all of us look good," laughs Steven Hemphill, the communications manager at Sierra-at-Tahoe.
No one has looked any better of late than Kirkwood ski resort. Due to its higher elevation than many other Tahoe-area resorts, snowstorms can be epic, which has certainly been the case. Heading into Presidents Day weekend, Michael Dalzell, Kirkwood's director of sales and marketing, was proudly reporting a whopping 12 feet of fresh snow.
"We could not have come up with a better marketing plan. We got 12 feet of snow in five days," Dalzell said, adding that another three feet fell the week after. "Our conditions right now are unreal. There is just such a buzz around town. We have bottomless powder. People who have been coming here for a long time are saying they've never skied conditions like this. It's a skier's paradise."
Desperate for snow, the delivery in mid-February was perfectly executed. Days before Presidents Day weekend, a wet and heavy snow put down a quick base on the existing hard pack, then the temperature dropped, and some of the year's lightest snow came in bunches. The storm gave all of Tahoe's resorts at least six feet of new snow, and most resorts were reporting more.
The siren went out: Lake Tahoe resorts have a ton of fresh powder.
"We had sunshine and over 100 inches of fresh snow. We couldn't have come up with a better marketing plan than this," said John Monson, Sugar Bowl's director of sales and marketing.
But Monson and all his ski industry contemporaries were greatly concerned when the bluebird days began appearing all too regularly in January. Temperatures were unseasonably high, snow was beginning to disappear, and skiing and snowboarding slick hard-pack runs were becoming the rule, not the exception.
In hindsight, no snow for nearly six weeks wasn't so bad, Monson said.
"We had an incredible amount of early snow for Thanksgiving and Christmas," Monson said. "Then we had a mid-season break with a lot of groomer days and sunny weather, and there's nothing wrong with that. Now we've returned to winter and have an abundance of new snow."
Recent additional snow pushed Sierra over the 500-inch mark for the season and had Hemphill and his staff scrambling to see if that was approaching a record season. The previous five-year average was 480 inches.
Kirkwood eclipsed 500 inches as well and was looking into its archives at the possibility of a record-breaking season.
So what does all this snow accumulation mean for the rest of the season? More good news, of course. Monson was predicting most of Lake Tahoe's resorts would remain open through Easter, which this year arrives quite late – April 24.
"Who knows what's coming next? But even if California turns on the sunshine now, we'll have quality skiing conditions regardless," Monson said. "We all have deep-enough snow that will take us into late April. Overall, it's been a fantastic season."

The U.S military says two nuclear-capable B-2 bombers have completed a training mission in South Korea amid threats from North Korea that include nuclear strikes on Washington and Seoul.
The statement Thursday by U.S. Forces Korea is an unusual confirmation. It follows an earlier U.S. announcement that nuclear-capable B-52 bombers participated in ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills.
The U.S. says the B-2 stealth bombers flew from a U.S. air base and dropped munitions on a South Korean island range before returning home.
The announcement will likely draw a strong response from Pyongyang. North Korea sees the military drills as part of a U.S. plot to invade and becomes particularly upset about U.S. nuclear activities in the region.
Washington and Seoul say they the annual drills are routine and defensive.

Mountaineers get an earful from chanting Gonzaga fans
SPOKANE, Wash. - After Monday, West Virginia's football team has company around its Morgantown campus.
The Mountaineer basketball team, at least, did its best impression in an embarrassing 84-50 loss to Gonzaga in the school's regular-season opener.
One could follow the game by the Gonzaga student section's chants.
First it was, "You've got two points" around the 11-minute mark of the first half. Then it was "Air ball." And, finally, it was "Up by 30."
WVU shot but 27.3 percent from the floor and 11.5 percent from behind the 3-point arc. But the team also made numerous mental errors from a shot-clock violation to dribbling off a foot. The Mountaineers had to call a timeout to avoid a 5-second out-of-bounds call - after being whistled for one in the first half.
"We don't even compete," said WVU coach Bob Huggins. "That's what bothers me more than anything. We just didn't compete."
"[Gonzaga] got going very quickly," said Mountaineer guard Jabarie Hinds, who finished with nine points. "They played very physical - again - and we got tempo-ed. I thought it would be a lot different game than last year's [a 77-54 NCAA loss], but I guess not."
WVU center Deniz Kilicli had five points on 2-of-6 shooting.
"We played horrible," Kilicli said. "The score says we have work to do."
The Turkey native shook his head.
"Our main focus was to start off right," he said. "It's our fault. We didn't pass well. We knew what to do and didn't do it.
"In the exhibition [win over Glenville] we didn't pass and make shots, but they weren't as strong as [Gonzaga's] guys."
"We knew what type of team they were and what they were going to do," said point guard Juwan Staten. "We just gave them too many clean shots, too many open shots.
"It wasn't pretty. Now we've got to go back to the drawing board."

We offer hundreds of safes with many different types of locks. Most safes come standard with one type of lock, but may have an option to change the lock type or add another lock for added security. The following are the different types of locks that we offer:
(1) Combination Locks:
Most combination locks are 3 or 4-digits allowing quick access to all of your belongings.
(2) Electronic Locks:
If multiple users will be using your safe an electronic lock may be the best fit for you. Most electronic locks can be programmed with more than one combination for multiple users. If you will be changing your combination frequently for added security, electronic locks make the task quick and easy.
(3) Key Locks:
When using a key lock, make sure you store your keys in a safe place away from your safe. It is a good idea to have more than one set of keys for extra security. In the case that you lose your keys, most companies will be able to send you a new key if you have a key reference number which will be located on your safe.
(4) Fingerprint Scan Locks:
This option, also referred to as a biometric lock, is an excellent means of controlling access to the safe's contents to a select group of people or just a single individual.
(5) Combination & Key Locks:
This option adds extra security to standard combination lock safes - the user will be required to enter the combination as well as the key to access his or her belongings.
(6) Electronic & Key Locks:
Like combination & key locks, this option affords the user the convenience of an electronic lock, with the added security of key access.
Safes designed to protect your valuables in the event of a fire. We have safes that protect your valuables for ½ hour, 1 hour or 2 hours. Most of our fire-resistant safes are UL classified. UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) has developed a rating system to determine a product's ability to endure fires of specific temperatures and lengths.
Impact Resistant:
Safes that have been exposed to many different tests and can withstand drops, and being hit with falling debris.
In the event of a flood, the contents of your safe can be damaged if your safe is not waterproof. Although some safes are specifically waterproof, during a fire most fire-resistant safes will have a positive pressure inside the safe that will keep water out.
Humidity Control:
Maintaining the appropriate level of humidity is key, whether you are storing files, media or fire arms in your safe.
UL Burglary Rated:
Similar to fireproofing, UL rates safes based on resistance to burglars. Ratings are as follows:

Metapopulation dynamics of wild dogs in South Africa
The survival of the African wild dog, whose numbers have been calculated at between 3 000 and 5000, has long been under threat. Photo by Roger de la Harpe, via showme.co.za
Ideally, species should be protected in areas large enough to allow for natural demographic and genetic processes. However, in realty, species often occur in small and isolated patches of suitable habitat embedded in human-dominated landscapes. In metapopulation ecology, landscapes are viewed as networks of habitat patches (fragments) in which species occur as discrete local populations connected by migration. The dynamics of such a metapopulation is characterised by (asynchronous) local extinction and recolonisation events.
However, human modification of the landscape between habitat patches, the so-called matrix, often prevents migration. While establishing 'corridors' through the matrix may allow dispersing individuals to move from one habitat patch to another, this is often problematic in practice. This raises the question of how metapopulation viability can be achieved in fragmented landscapes with limited natural dispersal among isolated habitat patches. Here, we provide one possible approach for endangered African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus).
Managed metapopulation concept
In South Africa, the conservation strategy followed for wild dogs has lead to the establishment of a metapopulation composed of a number of discrete local populations within several small protected areas. These isolated populations are generally too small to persist on their own, and thus extinction-prone. Furthermore, although wild dogs can disperse over considerable distances, the level of natural dispersal seems insufficient to ensure metapopulation viability, which is largely due to human intolerance of wild dogs roaming in the matrix.
This metapopulation is thus managed in that the process of dispersal is mimicked by intermittently translocating wild dogs among protected areas. In terms of classic metapopulation dynamics, the populations occupying discrete habitat patches are indeed locally unstable but migration among isolated fragments is facilitated by human transfer, thereby preventing local extinction. This conservation strategy has been successful in that it has lead to the creation of a managed metapopulation comprising several small and fenced human-colonised sites.
Despite being undoubtedly successful, the South African conservation strategy for wild dogs raises some awkward issues. Do we want to continue translocating wild dogs in perpetuity in order to mimic dispersal, or do we want levels of natural dispersal to raise sufficiently to achieve metapopulation viability? If we opt for the latter, promoting natural dispersal of wild dogs outside protected areas will be decisive, a goal that we will not achieve by continuously persecuting animals roaming in the matrix between protected areas containing wild dogs.
For wild dogs in South Africa, the crucial question is whether connecting protected areas (e.g. via corridors) is actually realistic on a spatial scale necessary to sustain a viable metapopulation. Natural metapopulation dynamics is certainly preferable, the feasibility of which needs to be assessed with spatially explicit metapopulation models. This approach hopefully provides a template for metapopulation management of other endangered species living in equally isolated habitat patches in increasingly human-fragmented landscapes.

Vol State Alumnus is Named Vanderbilt Staff Nurse of the Year
Submitted on June 12, 2013 at 9:25 AM
It's never too late to start a new career. No one knows that better than Brenda Hughey of Hendersonville. The Vol State alumnus jumped back into higher education 19 years ago. Now she's been named Staff Nurse of the Year for Vanderbilt University Medical Center. That's a top award at an institution with more than 2,500 nurses. She looks back on the decision to enroll in the TSU/Vol State Nursing program as a good one.
"I was married with kids and I worked full-time while I went to school. Vol State back then was a little place."
The path wasn't always smooth.
"College is not easy. It was intimidating to come back to school. The teachers were great. They encouraged you to keep going. I was 40 when I graduated."
Her education brought her to Vanderbilt, where she has worked for many different clinics, including the post op floor for liver transplants and now the Urology floor.
"I love my patients. I love to help them and take care of them. No matter what you do when you are a nurse it's about helping people."
News of the Staff Nurse of the Year honor was kept secret from Hughey until the day of the awards. She was nominated with 16 other nurses.
"When they called my name I was totally surprised."

THE RAZZIES® HAVE a LONG and ILL-LUSTRIOUS HISTORY of RAZZing ACTORS WHO FOLLOW UP OSCAR® GLORY with LESS-THAN-GLORIOUS NEXT PROJECTS. THINK CUBA GOODING JR in BOAT TRIP, KEVIN COSTNER in WYATT EARP or SANDRA BULLOCK in ALL ABOUT STEVE.
TO THAT LIST CAN NOW BE ADDED YOUR HIGHNESS, a "STONER COMEDY" THAT APPEARS to HAVE MORE in COMMON WITH LAND OF THE LOST THAN WITH THE KING's SPEECH. AND IT STARS TWO ACTORS WHO SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER: 2010 BEST ACTRESS WINNER (and 3-TIME RAZZIE® NOMINEE) NATALIE PORTMAN and 2010 BEST ACTOR NOMINEE (and WORST-EVER OSCAR® CO-HOST) JAMES FRANCO. IT ALSO FEATURES LAND OF THE LOST CO-STAR DANNY McBRIDE, and BUTT-LOADS of the KIND of "POT-HEAD/POTTY" HUMOR THAT EARNED LOST, YEAR ONE and GULLIVER's TRAVELS RAZZIE® FORUMS and/or RAZZIE® NOMINATIONS.
THE PROMO's ALL FOCUS on the SAME 3 or 4 JOKES (NONE of WHICH ARE LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY) and the TRAILER WAS OFTEN GREETED with GROANS in THEATRES.
SO, IS HIGHNESS LOWLY ENOUGH to BE a RAZZIE® CONTENDER COME YEAR'S END?? HERE's the LINK to TAKE the LOW ROAD and LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS...

My M-Day Ear Worm...
by Heather Rivera
posted Jul 22 2013 12:33PM
I have this tune trapped in my head today, Stabbing Westward- Save Myself. I haven't heard it in a while. It was at the ending credits of episode #12 of True Blood Season 5 that I watched last night.
I'm a season behind in 'TB' since I don't have HBO. I enjoyed Season 5, but not as much as the other seasons. I hear Season 6 is better than 5, so gives me something to look forward too next Summer for the 'TB' catch up! My next Netflix catch up on a show is
'The Newsroom'/HBO Season 1.
Something extra:
This has got to be one of 'THE BEST BIRTHING SCENES'... LOL! :)

If you haven't heard the name Guy Harvey, you've still probably seen his work. He's know for his paintings of blue marlins and other marine life.
WITN spoke with Harvey at a North Carolina Seafood Festival event in Morehead City Friday. He is a unique blend of artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist and explorer. His artwork can be found in art exhibits, stores, galleries, restaurants and at fishing tournaments. Harvey says his passion comes from his research to protect our oceans, fish, and coral reefs. Friday night Harvey was part of a VIP reception at 36North on Evans Street in Morehead City. Together with The Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation he hopes research can help others understand how to protect the world's fish resources.
" I understand about fisherman issues which is why now after 26 years in this business I give a lot back to conservation and education programs," said Harvey.
Harvey is a respected conservationist all over the world. If you would like a chance to meet him, he will be back Saturday from 12-2pm at 36 North at 413 Evans Street.
