There is a frequently overlooked factor that can cause an acute increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood as well as increased likelihood of its precipitation as MSU (monosodium urate or uric acid crystals. See, Gout Basics for background). That factor is the reduction of the concentration of oxygen in the blood, which occurs in an individual suffering from sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is the repeated cessation of breathing for many seconds at a time during sleep, when the muscles lining the airway relax enough to allow it to close, until the brain jolts them to reopen. The resulting reduction of oxygen in the blood causes the cells in the body to undergo a process of disintegration, which leads to their generation of excess uric acid. Once the uric acid is formed, the process is irreversible, even when breathing restarts. With each apneic period, more and more uric acid is fed into the blood, faster than the kidneys can dispose of it. Furthermore, the increased ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen in the blood makes the blood more acidic, so that its ability to hold uric acid in solution is reduced and MSU is more likely to precipitate. These processes were described in medical journal literature about twenty years ago, and subsequent literature has confirmed that sleep apnea leads to excess uric acid in the blood and in the urine.
Thus, sleep apnea hits gout attacks with a double whammy. It feeds more uric acid into the blood plus it reduces the ability of the blood to hold the uric acid in solution so that MSU precipitates. The result is a gout attack that develops while sleeping.
This dysfunctional blood chemistry begins to resolve after the sleeper awakens, when the apneic periods cease and the kidneys have time to catch up in their removal of uric acid from the blood. Thus, a blood test of uric acid taken several hours after awakening will often measure as normal. The excess uric acid occurs as a flare that the belated blood test never detects.
The factors for increased risk of developing gout – heredity, overweight, alcohol use, middle or elderly age, male gender, female gender past menopause – are all the same increased risk factors for developing sleep apnea. But those who do not fall into these categories can develop either condition. It's just less likely. I am not overweight, and I never was. Yet I developed both in middle age. Now I have neither.
Where Are The Data?
One would think that in the twenty-year period since these physiologic processes were described, gout researchers would have conducted studies to determine what percentage of gout sufferers also have sleep apnea, and in what percentage of those does resolving the sleep apnea cure their gout. It hasn't happened. One can only speculate as to why, and some speculated conclusions may have a very cynical view of gout experts. What has been reported recently is a long list of serious diseases that have been found to have a strong association with elevated uric acid, but with no recognition given that all these diseases have previously been shown to be consequences of sleep apnea.
I realized the sleep apnea/gout connection over five years ago when resolving my sleep apnea resulted in the complete cessation of my gout attacks. And I know that I am not the only one who has observed that result. Based on my information, my primary care physician has been screening all his gout patients for sleep apnea. He has found that a large majority of them have sleep apnea, when neither he nor they would have otherwise suspected it.
Why This Is So Important
The results found by my literature search and by my primary care physician have convinced me the sleep apnea is a major cause of gout attacks. I have the view that all gout sufferers should assume they have sleep apnea as the underlying cause of gout until proven otherwise. That means that all gout sufferers should be screened for sleep apnea, not only to cure their gout, but more importantly to prevent the development of much more serious diseases.
Resolving gout is important. Even more important is diagnosing and resolving sleep apnea. Gout is very painful, but by itself it is not life threatening. If left untreated, sleep apnea is known to have numerous consequences that are life threatening – heart attack, heart arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke, diabetes, depression, kidney disease, and many other maladies. It is no wonder that this list matches closely the list of associations with hyperuricemia presented in the Is Gout Dangerous? posting on this website, because hyperuricemia is a direct consequence of sleep apnea. A fourteen-year study in Australia of people with sleep apnea who refused treatment concluded that the life expectancy of these people was 18 years shorter that of the general population, a conclusion that stunned even the study's researchers.
Unfortunately, palliating your gout by using NSAIDs or prescription drugs does nothing to overcome your sleep apnea. It just masks the warning until one or more of the dire consequences of sleep apnea smacks you. In my case it was a transient ischemic attack (ministroke), atrial fibrillation heart arrhythmia, and diabetes, all of which I have recovered from. I was lucky that my sleep apnea consequences turned out to be reversible, but I have to maintain a strict diet to prevent the return of my diabetes.
There are about 80 times as many people with sleep apnea as there are with gout. Ironically, those of us with gout may be the fortunate ones because we have an early warning of our sleep apnea, but only if we and our doctors know about the connection.

Update (August 1, 2009):
A recent study performed in Australia of the medical records of over 16,000 patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea found that gout was present in about 5% of them. Other sources estimate that the prevalence of gout in Australia is .27% of the population. That means that in Australia the likelihood of gout is 19 times higher in people with sleep apnea vs. the general population. Statistics for other first world countries are probably very similar.

This Saturday, August 16th, come out to Litchford Village Shopping Center for a free family event benefitting Bonnie's Book Foundation.
What is Bonnie's Book Foundation?
Bonnie's Book Foundation was founded in 1998 by Illinois native, Bonnie Graham. Throughout her life, Bonnie provided tutoring and support to underprivileged kids in the state. Her passion led to the creation of Bonnie's Book Foundation to help even more underserved children in the Chicagoland area. Bonnie understood that with access to books, children can discover the joys of reading and learning.
To support the Foundation's efforts, community events like this weekend's family fun day at Litchford Village Shopping Center, allow people in the community an opportunity to donate new and gently used books for distribution to schools and programs that serve at-risk children.
Though Bonnie passed away in 2006, her family has continued her legacy. Today, the program supports at-risk kids in communities throughout North Carolina, Illinois and Vermont. National organizations also benefit from grants provided by the Foundation.
Family fun at Litchford Village Shopping Center
This Saturday's event at Litchford Village Shopping Center runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. providing live music by 2112 Rock School Teen Bands, a K9 Unit demonstration, a fire truck and fire safety demonstration, car seat installations by the Highway Patrol, a bounce castle, face painting, a race car simulator, a charity fashion show, dance and karate demonstrations, free food, and a free raffle with prizes.
Ziff Properties, Inc., the management company for Litchford Village Shopping Center, organized the event to show appreciation to the community and support Bonnie's Book Foundation. While this is a free community event, attendees are encouraged to bring new or gently used books for children in the area.

May I ask what makes it clincally different then OCA2? I will go back and correct the info with it.
I dont think it meant that OCA4 only happenes in Japanese people. Only that 18% of people with it are Japanese. Just like OCA2 is more common in Black people then OCA1. Bryn has OCA2 and we are not African.
AtlantaGranny: wilsone8:
Out of curiousity, where did you come up with the 1 in 70 statistic? I've seen 1 in 10,000 quoted for OCA1. Are you counting all the different forms?
I'm just going by what I have learned here. Quote:"Her risk for carrying the gene for albinism is the same as everyone else in the world, 1:70. Assuming that she would be that lucky 1:70 AND that he too was a carrier AND that her albinsim gene was the same as her husbands, then their babies would have a 25% chance of having albinsim. .." Is this not correct? I'm confused now, that's not hard to do. :) You all are so great, I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedules to try to educate me. I am forever grateful to you all, you have touched my heart.
Out of curiousity, where did you come up with the 1 in 70 statistic? I've seen 1 in 10,000 quoted for OCA1. Are you counting all the different forms?
Out of curiousity, where did you come up with the 1 in 70 statistic? I've seen 1 in 10,000 quoted for OCA1. Are you counting all the different forms?
Oh sorry, I was actually asking the person who originally quoted that number: mktighe.
I think the odds should be calculated as follows:
Albinism occurs in the US in 1 in about 17,000 people. Working backwards from that, we can calculate that the odds of being a carrier as 1 / 17,000 / 4 = 1 / 4250 for any type of albinism.
The son-in-law has a 50% chance of being a carrier (each of his parents is a carrier). Your daughter has a 1 in 4,250 chance of having any albinism related genetic defect based on the instances in the general population. Even if both are a carrier, there is only a 1/4 chance that their child will inherit the defect from both parents. So their odds are:
1 / 4250 * 1/2 * 1/4 = 1 / 34,000
And that's actually properly overestimating the odds. From what I understand, in order for albinism to be present both carrier must have related defects. The odds above assume that all combinations of defects will cause albinism, but that's not true in reality.
I found this info about the odds
Albinism can affect people of all ethnic backgrounds and has been extensively studied. Approximately one in 17,000 people have one of the types of albinism [1]. This suggests that about 1 in 70 people carry a gene for OCA.
OCA1 has a prevalence of approximately 1 per 40,000 [3] in most populations but is very uncommon among African-Americans
In contrast, OCA2 is the most common type of albinism in African Black OCA patients. The overall prevalence of OCA2 is estimated to be 1:36,000 in the USA, but is about 1:10,000 among African Americans [4]. It affects 1 in 3,900 of the population in some parts of the southern part of Africa [5].
OCA3 or Rufous oculocutaneous albinism has been reported to affect 1:8,500 individuals in Africa, whereas it is very rare in Caucasians and Asiatic populations [6].
Recently, mutations in a fourth gene were shown to be the cause of albinism, OCA4, [7] and were reported to explain the disease in approximately 5–8% of German patients with albinism [8] but 18% of Japanese patients [9].
It is clinically different due to the fact that the mutation occurs on a completely separate gene compared to OCA2. I was just stating that we are not of Japanese decent as it has been commonly thought that OCA4 is only in people of Japanese decent. They were certain my daughter had HPS rather than OCA4 due to the fact that we have no Japanese decent. After further testing for OCA4 it was conclusive. My daughter is one in fewer than 100 people in the U.S. diagnosed with OCA4. Well I should say that when she was diagnosed at 4 months old and is now about to be 2 she was 1 in about 100.
Hope that helps! Most people don't even know about OCA4... it is that rare!
Albinism is wild! I still want to get my son tested. I think we are going to do that study at the NIH and find out what Andy has and how he got it And if it is a new mutation or one from my and hubby!
Oh, I was thinking clinically meant visually, sorry. I see. Thanks for the info!
I bet that was scary info to have so few people with what she has.
I still have yet to find another child with both chromo issues my DD has. Its scary b/c I dont have any clear guidelines to go off of KWIM??

Extra butter can make foods taste so good, but what isn't so good are the extra calories and increased health risks like high cholesterol that are served up as well. If you enjoy baking or eating baked goods, removing some or all of the butter from your favorite recipes can significantly reduce the amount of cholesterol and fat without reducing the taste. Next time you're making a recipe that calls for butter, try using one of these healthier alternatives instead.
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
1. Avocado
Have no fear – avocados won't make your cookies taste "avocado-y" or look green! Replacing butter with avocado lowers the calorie count and makes your baked goods chewier. Substitute half the butter your recipe calls for (e.g., 1 cup butter = 1/2 avocado and 1/2 butter) with MASHED avocado and enjoy!
2. Greek Yogurt
Using plain Greek yogurt is a great way to reduce calories and saturated fat in a recipe. If you recipe suggests 1 cup of butter, use 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of full-fat Greek yogurt. Experiment with more or less yogurt to get the consistency and taste that works best for what you're making.
3. Applesauce

State funding of Higher Education in Arizona and throughout the country has been dramatically reduced during the last three decades.? Since 1979, the percentage of Arizona state general funds to Universities has decreased from 19% to 10%.? With this greatly reduced funding from the State, the University of Arizona has turned to private philanthropy to ensure success.
For decades, Arizona Athletics was the grateful recipient of state funding and student fees.?? Since the 2004-05 academic year, Arizona Athletics has been fully self sufficient and relies solely on private resources (e.g. ticket sales, TV & radio rights fees, corporate sponsorships, and charitable giving).

The under-investigation in diplomatic studies of processes of persuasion in explaining diplomatic outcomes needs to be addressed in the interests of better scholarly explanations and diplomatic practice. Although such processes are implicit in nearly all concepts and practice of diplomacy, neither scholars nor practitioners explicitly investigate them. Yet other related fields of study and disciplines examine persuasion and demonstrate its explanatory value.

William and Marilyn Kohler
Laguna Hills, 14 years
It took my husband and me 67 years to find one another!
Each of us had relationships that produced children. We found personal growth and successes.
I guess it was in God's plan that a boy from Buffalo born in 1929 and a girl from San Diego born in 1929 finally meet!
We share time laughing about the years we spent in different schools, different people we grew up with, different jobs and the different personal relationships. We love the same music … We remember all the great sports teams and the many movie stars that filled the Silver Screen before television. After 14 years of marriage we hold hands at the movies, we shop together, enjoy our memberships in the Exchange Club and the Elk's Lodge. When we were married at age 68 my husband – Capt. William C. Kohler, U.S. Marine Corps retired – promised me everlasting love one day at a time. So far he has kept his promise. – Marilyn Kohler

With a game like this I know Jordan can score in bunches. But I think this just might be the game where Jordan has to use a little more clock than they're used to. PG can score and don't be suprised if thats what Hamilton does just to keep our O off the field. Like I said in another post I think this is going to be a chess match between Hamilton and Kjar.

This will be a good game. I would go with Jordan if I hadn't seen 3 different games how bad their defense is. I don't doubt Jordan can put up plenty of points. My problem is I don't think they can stop PG from putting up points. I have to give the defensive edge to PG by a long shot. I see this being a very high scoring games. If there was an over/under on this game, I'd go plus 75-80. I think PG maybe makes just enough stops to pull this one out. But that's why they play the games!

Digs: Did I say PG was a defensive power? I said I see it being a close game. But if you want to compare Jordan's defense to another team, you better look at a little league team. I've seen more defenses on a pee wee team than what Jordan has shown. I still think PG gets enough stops to be the difference. Both teams will score some points. But Jordan's defense has proven it can't stop anybody! Saying PG has a better defense by a long shot doesn't mean they are a "defensive juggernaut". It just says how bad the D at Jordan is!

New Hanover Regional lifts visiting restrictions on kids
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
Following a decrease in influenza in the community, New Hanover Regional Medical Center is removing the visiting restrictions placed on children 12 and under, effective immediately.
Although flu levels are declining, it is important for the community to stay vigilant against the spread of the disease in order to prevent a reoccurrence. New Hanover Regional Medical Center encourages everyone to do three things to help stop the spread of the flu.
• If you have not yet received your seasonal flu vaccine, contact your doctor to make an appointment. Vaccines are readily available in our community and are critical to preventing another outbreak.
• If you have flu-like symptoms, do not visit the hospital and avoid public places if possible.
• Consider carrying an immunization card with you proving that you have received your seasonal flu vaccine. In the event of another outbreak, you may be required to show proof of vaccination before visiting NHRMC facilities.

In Gaston County, N.C., a four-year-old pit bull type just lies in her kennel; she seems to have accepted her fate. She's a black dog; she's been surrendered because her previous owners said she killed the chickens and attacked the cats, and she's just tired of being locked up in cage.
Once upon a time her humans cared about her; after all she was spayed and was well taken cared of, but alas, this disposable society too often drops dogs off just like Lil Bit, and for a delusional moment actually pretends that someone will come along and adopt her.
The staff at the Gaston County Animal Control stated Lil Bit interacted very well and presented with little problems, but she's been there since June 12 and now is considered past due.
Lil Bit would do well with an experienced dog person and has been labeled "aggressive." How bad can one dog's luck be?

College Hockey:Huskies Split Tigers, End Home Winning Streak
Roe, Hartman and Nodl Combine for Eight Points
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Not everything is meant to last forever.
Just ask the Colorado College Tigers who saw their 14-game home ice winning streak end at the hands of the St. Cloud State University Huskies, 3-2, Saturday night at World Arena.
You dont think too much about [the streak], but yeah, this was a game we had hoped to get to continue our march on first place, said CC coach Scott Owens. Yeah the streak ends, but we certainly had opportunities to tie the game or win it.
Instead, a Huskies team arguably better than its record gained a much-needed win.
We came out here this weekend with the, well, we wanted to get a win, obviously, but we wanted to get back in the hunt, said SCSU coach Bob Motzko. We dont know what were chasing, but at least were back in the hunt right now and thats what we wanted to get back into and play good hockey.
The Huskies started off the scoring nine minutes into the opening frame. Nate Dey dumped the puck into the Tiger zone, Matt Hartman picked it up and tipped it to David Carlisle who fired a blast from the point for his first career goal.
We got the puck deep again and thats how we forced a little turnover there and it got out to him and Im sure the guy would like that one back, said Motzko. Its got to hit the net to go in, so it was a good goal for [Carlisle].
Just 37 seconds later, the Huskies went up 2-0 on the strength of a Garrett Roe goal. Hartman won a battle in the left corner and threw the puck in front of the net where Roe tipped it in behind Tiger netminder Richard Bachman (26 saves)
CC cut the lead to one with about three and half to play in the frame when Tyler Johnson tipped a Jack Hillen blast from the point past St. Cloud goaltender Jase Weslosky (38 saves).
However, the Huskies would regain their two-goal cushion a minute later when Hartman and Roe once again connected on a goal; this time, Hartman tapped the puck across the crease to Roe to catch a relatively out of position Bachman.
It happened so fast; its just exciting for me, said Hartman, about his three assists within the span of seven minutes. Its just kind of the puck " it happens sometimes in hockey. I guess I was on the better hand of that tonight and it just happens once in a while and just fortunate we got off to a lead and were able to finish it off. That was nice. Obviously the assists were a bonus for me.
Matt stepped up tonight and thats what we talked about in our meeting today, said Motzko. We needed some guys that hadnt stepped up, hadnt been on the film, to do that.
Eric Walsky cut the SCSU lead once again 2:32 into the middle period for the only goal of the frame. The former Alaska Anchorage Seawolf took a diving pass from Johnson and slid it five-hole on Weslosky to make it a 3-2 game.
I thought [that line] gave us some good energy and some opportunities so it was nice to see that, said Owens. Jack Hillen continues to play great for us.
It looked like the Huskies Andreas Nodl made it a 4-2 game 1:32 into the third period, but it was ruled that the puck that scored the goal was initially knocked down by a high stick.
Scott Thauwald went down with a concussion halfway through the period after being elbowed in the head by Roe " an incident that was not penalized by the officials. However, the Tigers were awarded the first power play " and two-man advantage " about a minute later as arguable make-up calls. However, the Huskies and Weslosky thwarted all Tiger attempts.
That was major, said Motzko. Our penalty killers and our goalie did a great job there killing that off and that saved the game for us.
I thought St. Cloud played well, said Owens. I thought their D corps dug in well, especially on that five-on-three and it just wasnt meant to be for us tonight.
CC pulled Bachman to get the extra attacker, but the Huskies were able to seal the deal with an empty-net goal. SCSU came down on a three-on-two and Hartman hit Nodl " the one man uncovered by defense " to give him back his goal from earlier in the frame.
You spot a team three goals in the first period, youre asking for trouble, said Owens. That being said, we had 30 minutes to score a goal and had an opportunity off a waived-off goal to get some energy and a five-on-three so we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
We should have at least tied that game in the third period " we didnt.
Hopefully this is another step to move us forward, said Motzko.
The Huskies next travel to Alaska Anchorage for a two game series against the Seawolves while the Tigers get a bye week.

Madonna voices her anger at the Russian punk band's jail term, as church leaders give their view on the trio's anti-Putin protest.
12:00, UK, Sunday 19 August 2012
Two top clerics in the Russian Orthodox Church say it has forgiven punk protesters Pussy Riot for briefly taking over a cathedral in a demonstration against Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile Madonna, who had already voiced her support for the band, expressed her anger over the "inhumane" jail sentence handed down in Moscow to three women from the group.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich were sentenced on Friday to two years' prison after being convicted of hooliganism.
"I protest the conviction and sentencing of Pussy Riot to a penal colony for two years for a 40-second performance extolling their political opinions," Madonna said in a statement.
The singer said the sentence was "too harsh and in fact is inhumane".
"They've spent enough time in jail. I call on all of Russia to let Pussy Riot go free," she said.
Judge Marina Syrova said the three young protesters showed a "clear disrespect toward society" by staging a "Punk Prayer".
The trio called on the Virgin Mary to drive Vladimir Putin out of power in the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow in March.
But Tikhon Shevkunov, who heads Moscow's Sretensky Monastery and is widely believed to be Mr Putin's spiritual counsellor, has now said on state TV that his church forgave the singers right after the incident.
Archpriest Maxim Kozlov agreed, but he added that his church hopes the young women and their supporters "realise that their acts are awful".
Both clerics supported a court's decision to prosecute Pussy Riot, despite an international outcry that criticised it as unfair.
The US called the sentences "disproportionate", while Britain, France and the European Union also said the punishment was excessive and questioned Russia's rights record.
Moscow police said more than 50 protesters detained outside the court on Friday had all been released and some charged with public order offences, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported.
Among those detained was chess champion turned opposition leader Garry Kasparov, who now awaits further questioning, said Alexander Ryklin of the Solidarity political movement led by Mr Kasparov.
Police accused Mr Kasparov of biting an officer on the ear during his detention, Interfax news agency reported, with Mr Kasparov denying the claim and complaining of being beaten.
Comedian Stephen Fry, one of several celebrities to have expressed views on the affair on Twitter, wrote: "Gary Kasparov, the greatest mental athlete ever, (has been) arrested for protesting at the tyrannical 2 years".
The Russian foreign ministry made no direct comment on Pussy Riot, issuing only a statement on Saturday about penalties for offending religious believers in other European countries.

Old Bark, New Bite

Arsenio Hall sinks his teeth into a new late-night talk show.
Remember the arm pump? The rabid woofing? Devotees of the old Arsenio Hall Show, which ran from 1989 to 1994, sure do. And they still pay tribute.
"It's interesting in terms of psychology to watch a child see his dad get barked at in a mall and not know why," notes Hall, whose son, the younger Arsenio, though not born during his father's initial talk-show foray, will watch him re-enter the late-night landscape on Sept. 9.
Yes, that's right, Arsenio Hall—Magic Johnson's pal, the man who allowed then presidential hopeful Bill Clinton to play his sax during his time slot and once memorably declared he would "kick Jay Leno's ass"—is set to unleash the Dog Pound.
Primed for a comeback, Hall spent the intervening years between The Arsenio Hall Show and its reboot raising his son, now 13, while taking on the occasional gig—fill-in host here, comedic appearance there, winning a season of Celebrity Apprentice—because, he explains, "You can't really be a good mom or dad if you're doing a late-night talk show. It's a different level of commitment." Now with his son at an age where he can handle his father's need to be at work more regularly, Hall is ready for a full-fledged return.
Plus, "I've never found anything I love as much," the native of Cleveland, Ohio, says of the late-night game.
"The bottom line is I do those things that I love to do. And I love doing a late-night talk show more than anything. I was missing it."
Hall's new syndicated show, airing locally on KTLA channel 5 at 11pm, means he's rubbing elbows with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, CBS's David Letterman and NBC's Jay Leno (who turns over The Tonight Show to Jimmy Fallon in spring 2014) during the second halves of their shows. Expect roughly the same format tailored to a new era, but "the same guy"—only a little older.
Put another way: "The last time I hosted a talk show, I didn't have a cellphone in my pocket," he says.
"It's a different world."

Lady Raider Depth Proven in First Scrimmage
LUBBOCK, Texas � In their first scrimmage of the season, the Lady Raiders proved that team depth could very well be one of their strengths.
�I think one thing I have felt all along, and it showed tonight, is that we are 10 or 11 deep. Through 12 players we are probably deeper now than we�ve ever been at this point in the season,� Texas Tech Head Coach Marsha Sharp said.
All-America candidate Alicia Thompson put in a squad high 23 points, while junior Kyna Cosby added 20. Thompson and junior Angie Braziel both grabbed seven rebounds each, while Braziel scored 19 points. Freshman Katrisa O�Neal had 15 points. Others scoring in double digits included juniors Julie Lake with 12 and Cara Gibbs with 11. All 15 Lady Raiders scored at least once.
�Until Christmas there will probably be several different line-ups. I�m excited to put different line-ups together, depending on the situation,� Sharp said.
The first quarter and fourth quarters ended in a tie, while the second was decided by three and the third by four.
The Lady Raiders will have their final scrimmage of the season on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in the women�s gym. They will host Slovakia in their first exhibition game on Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. in the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. Tech opens their 1997-98 season against the University of Texas-San Antonio on Nov. 22 in the UTSA Tournament.

Docket No. AB 290 (Sub-No. 334X)
Decided: March 20, 2013
Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR) filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. pt. 1152 subpart F—Exempt Abandonments to abandon approximately 1.81 miles of rail line extending between former Eastern Alabama Railway milepost LAM 508.08 (near the intersection of W. 10th and Pipe Streets) and milepost LAM 509.89 (to the east of the eastern end of W. 30th Street), in Anniston, Calhoun County, Ala. Notice of the exemption was served and published in the Federal Register on February 19, 2013 (78 Fed. Reg. 11,733). The exemption is scheduled to become effective on March 21, 2013.
The Board's Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) served an environmental assessment (EA) in this proceeding on February 22, 2013. In the EA, OEA stated that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) submitted comments indicating that the information submitted by NSR was insufficient to determine whether a permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1251) would be required for the proposed abandonment. EPA requested that NSR consult with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) regarding potential storm water concerns and the City of Anniston regarding the requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program.
OEA also stated that ADEM submitted comments stating that its regulations require all construction and land disturbance projects to implement appropriate and effective Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the control of pollutants in storm water run-off, regardless of permit status or project size. Accordingly, OEA recommended that a condition be imposed requiring NSR to consult with ADEM regarding the implementation of BMPs and to comply with all reasonable requirements in order to prevent or mitigate any potential impacts to waterways.
OEA also pointed out NSR's statement that it received comments from USFWS indicating that no federally listed species would be affected by the proposed abandonment. OEA added, however, that it had not received a copy of the correspondence. Accordingly, OEA recommended that a condition be imposed requiring NSR to consult with USFWS regarding the potential impacts of the proposed abandonment on federally listed threatened or endangered species prior to commencing salvage activities and to report the results of the consultations to OEA.[1]
In addition, OEA stated that NSR served an historic report on the Alabama Historical Commission (SHPO) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(c). The SHPO submitted comments stating that the proposed abandonment would not affect any known archaeological sites or historic properties listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The SHPO requested, however, that, should artifacts or archaeological features be encountered during salvage activities, NSR cease work and report to the SHPO immediately. OEA stated that it had reviewed the report and information provided by the SHPO and concurred with the SHPO's comments. Accordingly, OEA recommended that a condition be imposed requiring NSR to cease abandonment activities and report to the SHPO and OEA in the event that unanticipated archaeological sites or artifacts are discovered.
Comments to the EA were due March 11, 2013. OEA states in its final EA that NSR submitted comments clarifying that it has consulted with USFWS regarding the potential impact of the proposed abandonment on federally listed endangered or threatened species. NSR also submitted the results of the consultations to OEA, in which USFWS stated that no federally listed species or critical habitat are known to occur in the project area and that the abandonment as proposed would have no significant impact on fish and wildlife resources. Accordingly, OEA now recommends that the previously recommended condition requiring NSR to consult with USFWS prior to commencing abandonment activities not be imposed. Therefore, OEA states that only two of the previously recommended conditions (consultation with ADEM and the SHPO) should be imposed upon any decision granting abandonment authority. Accordingly, the conditions recommended by OEA will be imposed.
In the EA, OEA also stated that the right-of-way may be suitable for other public use following abandonment and salvage of the line. On February 21, 2013, the City of Anniston (proponent) filed a request for the issuance of a notice of interim trail use (NITU) to negotiate with NSR for acquisition of the line for use as a trail under the National Trails System Act (Trails Act), 16 U.S.C. § 1247(d) and 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29. Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29, proponent has submitted a statement of its willingness to assume financial responsibility for the right-of-way, and has acknowledged that the use of the right-of-way for trail purposes is subject to possible future reconstruction and reactivation of the right-of-way for rail service. By response filed on February 26, 2013, NSR has indicated its willingness to negotiate with proponent for interim trail use.
Because proponent's request complies with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29 and NSR is willing to negotiate for trail use, a NITU will be issued. The parties may negotiate an agreement for the right-of-way during the 180-day period prescribed below. If an interim trail use agreement is reached (and thus, interim trail use is established), the parties shall jointly notify the Board within 10 days that an agreement has been reached. 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(d)(2) and (h); Nat'l Trails Sys. Act & R.R. Rights-of-Way, EP 702 (STB served Apr. 30, 2012). If no agreement is reached within 180 days, NSR may fully abandon the line. 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(d)(1). Use of the right-of-way for trail purposes is subject to any future use of the property for restoration of railroad operations.
Proponent also has requested imposition of a public use condition under 49 U.S.C. § 10905 for the right-of-way. Proponent asks that NSR be prohibited from disposing of the corridor, other than tracks, ties, and signal equipment, except for public use on reasonable terms, and that NSR be barred from the removal or destruction of potential trail-related structures, such as bridges, trestles, culverts, and tunnels, for a 180-day period from the effective date of the abandonment authorization. Proponent's justification for its request is that these structures have considerable value for recreational trail purposes. Proponent states that the 180-day period is needed to assemble and review title information, complete a trail plan, and begin negotiations with NSR.
As an alternative to interim trail use under the Trails Act, the right-of-way may be acquired for public use as a trail under 49 U.S.C. § 10905. See Rail Abans.—Use of Rights-of Way as Trails, 2 I.C.C.2d 591, 609 (1986). Under § 10905, the Board may prohibit the disposal of rail properties that are proposed to be abandoned and are appropriate for public purposes for a period of not more than 180 days after the effective date of the decision approving or exempting the abandonment.
To justify a public use condition, a party must set forth: (i) the condition sought; (ii) the public importance of the condition; (iii) the period of time for which the condition would be effective; and (iv) justification for the imposition of the period of time requested. 49 C.F.R. § 1152.28(a)(2). Because proponent has satisfied these requirements, a 180-day public use condition will be imposed, requiring NSR to keep intact the right-of-way (including trail-related structures such as bridges, trestles, ballast, culverts, and tunnels) and to refrain from disposing of the corridor (other than tracks, ties, and signal equipment), commencing from the March 21, 2013 effective date of the exemption.
When the need for interim trail use/rail banking and public use is shown, it is the Board's policy to impose both conditions concurrently, subject to the execution of a trail use agreement. Here, however, while both conditions will be imposed at this time, the public use condition will expire on September 17, 2013, while the trail use negotiating period will run 180 days from the service date of this decision and notice until September 16, 2013. If a trail use agreement is reached on a portion of the right-of-way prior to September 16, 2013, NSR must keep the remaining right-of-way intact for the remainder of the 180-day period to permit public use negotiations. Also, a public use condition is not imposed for the benefit of any one potential purchaser, but rather to provide an opportunity for any interested person to acquire the right-of-way that has been found suitable for public purposes, including trail use. Therefore, with respect to the public use condition, NSR is not required to deal exclusively with proponent, but may engage in negotiations with other interested persons.
As conditioned, this action will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. This proceeding is reopened.
2. Upon reconsideration, the notice served and published in the Federal Register on February 19, 2013, exempting the abandonment of the line described above is modified to the extent necessary to implement interim trail use/rail banking as set forth below to permit proponent to negotiate with NSR for trail use for the rail line, for a period of 180 days from the service date of this decision and notice until September 16, 2013 and to permit public use negotiations as set forth below, for a period of 180 days commencing from the March 21, 2013 effective date of the exemption, until September 17, 2013. The abandonment is also subject to the conditions that: (1)(a) prior to commencement of any salvage activities, NSR shall consult with ADEM regarding the implementation of appropriate and effective BMPs for the control of pollutants in storm water run-off and shall comply with all reasonable BMP requirements, and (b) NSR shall report the results of these consultations in writing to OEA prior to the onset of salvage operations; and (2)(a) in the event that any unanticipated archaeological sites or associated artifacts are discovered during salvage activities, NSR shall immediately cease all work and notify OEA and the SHPO pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.13(b), and (b) OEA shall then consult with the SHPO, NSR, and other consulting parties, if any, to determine whether appropriate mitigation measures are necessary.
3. The request for a NITU, under 16 U.S.C. § 1247(d) and 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29 is granted.
4. Consistent with the public use and interim trail/rail banking conditions imposed in this decision and notice, NSR may discontinue service and salvage track and related materials. NSR shall otherwise keep intact the right-of-way underlying the tracks, including potential trail-related structures such as bridges, trestles, culverts, and tunnels, for a period of 180 days to enable any state or local government agency, or other interested person to negotiate the acquisition of the right-of-way for public use. If an interim trail use/rail banking agreement is executed before expiration of the 180-day period, the public use condition will expire to the extent the trail use/rail banking agreement covers the same portion of the right-of-way.
5. If an interim trail use/rail banking agreement is reached, it must require the trail sponsor to assume, for the term of the agreement, full responsibility for: (i) managing the right-of-way; (ii) any legal liability arising out of the transfer or use of the right-of-way (unless the sponsor is immune from liability, in which case it need only indemnify the railroad against any potential liability); and (iii) the payment of any and all taxes that may be levied or assessed against the right-of-way.
6. Interim trail use/rail banking is subject to possible future reconstruction and reactivation of the right-of-way for rail service and to the trail sponsor's continuing to meet its financial responsibilities for the right-of-way.
7. If an interim trail use agreement is reached (and thus, interim trail use is established), the parties shall jointly notify the Board within 10 days that an agreement has been reached. 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(d)(2) and (h).
8. If interim trail use is implemented, and subsequently the trail sponsor intends to terminate trail use on all or any portion of the right-of-way covered by the interim trail use agreement, it must send the Board a copy of this decision and notice and request that it be vacated on a specified date.
9. If an agreement for interim trail use/rail banking is reached by September 16, 2013 for the right-of-way, interim trail use may be implemented. If no agreement is reached, NSR may fully abandon the line.
10. This decision and notice is effective on its service date.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings.
[1] OEA added that NSR could also submit any previous correspondence with USFWS, if it chose to do so.

I originally interviewed Ken Cheppaikode (AKA Ken Dirtnap) in 2004. It wasn't under the happiest circumstances. Most of the band The Exploding Hearts had perished in a van accident the week before. The Exploding Hearts were the star band on Dirtnap Records' roster, and Ken was kind enough to do the interview despite the strained circumstances. Dirtnap has continually put out great punk rock releases, including records by the Briefs and The Marked Men, and newer bands like power pop band The Sugar Stems and surf punk band Guantanamo Baywatch. Ken also runs Green Noise Records in Portland, Oregon, which is currently in the process of finding a new home (still in Portland) as this is being written. Since I am now an Austin resident, the following interview had to be conducted via email.
Jason Gooder: What do you think is the difference in attitude of Portland vs. Austin? What is different about the two places and the music scenes?
Ken Chippaikode: I think attitude wise it's pretty similar. Both are overgrown small cities with a larger music scene than a lot of bigger cities. No shortage of things going on in either city, although I will admit that I haven't been to Austin in a few years. Used to spend a lot of time there between the mid-90s and 3 years ago, though. Been mistaken for an Austin local on more than 1 location, which is flattering, I guess! I'm glad I didn't move there, though. I love Austin, but it's too damn hot there.
JG: You're from the Midwest. How do you think the punk rock culture there differs from the Northwest?
KC: I love the Midwest (probably a little bit more in retrospect than I did growing up there!) but I haven't lived there since the mid-90s, so I may not be the best person to answer this question. There have been and still are a ton of classic bands in that part of the world, including a few who have graced the label over the years, like Sugar Stems, Legendary Wings, Goodnight Loving, The Returnables, and more. I am glad I don't live there anymore, though. I love the Midwest, but it's too damn cold!
JG: What are the best selling new releases on Dirtnap?
KC: Radioactivity, hands down. New releases by Sonic Avenues and Steve Adamyk Band are also off to real strong starts, though.
JG: What do you think about the culture of Portland?
KC: I like it here, no plans to move. The city is adding density quickly as it grows, though, which is resulting in rapid changes to certain neighborhoods, along with corresponding price increases. I just think that kinda is what it is, but I will be interested to see what the city looks like in 10 years. Love the accessibility to the great outdoors (Coast! Mountains! Desert! Columbia River Gorge!) Here, as well as the relatively affordable housing prices, and the fact that I can run a shoestring-budget business and not get priced entirely out of the city.
JG: Some of my favorite Portland bands are Piss Test, The Chemicals, and Sex Crime. What are your favorite Portland bands?
KC: We must have pretty similar taste, then, cause I like all those bands, too! I also like Lunch, Suicide Notes, Needles and Pizza, Dottie Attie, Summer Cannibals, Eyelids, Bloodtypes, Divers, and probably a bunch more than I'm spacing on cause I haven't had enough coffee today!
JG: I've liked all of the Marked Men releases too. How would you compare Radioactivity to the Marked Men?
KC: Well, I think it's about the closest thing you are going to get to a new Marked Men album in 2014! The primary difference is that there's only 1 singer/songwriter instead of 2, a Radioactivity LP is like a Marked Men album with all Jeff Burke songs, and no Mark Ryan songs. That's OK, though, cause the Mind Spiders are also on Dirtnap, which is all Mark Ryan's songs!
JG: How do you think the punk rock and underground rock scene is in Portland compared to the rest of the country and world?
KC: I don't know, seems like there are a lot of good bands around here, as always, but I am kinda reaching "that age" where I'm not getting out at night as much as I used to. It does seem like things are really fragmented into subgenres right now, seems like there are a million tiny, separate scenes that don't overlap very much. That's unfortunate, but it seems like the music scene here is always mutating and evolving.
JG: It seems there's a lot more power pop bands now. Back in 2004 there was the Exploding Hearts and a few other bands, but it seems really big now. Are there more Power pop bands?
KC: Actually, judging from the demos I got in the wake of the Exploding Hearts album, I would think there were more then. I don't really know, though, I don't pay a ton of attention to subgenres. I don't consider Dirtnap a power pop label.
JG: Are you going to sign any more surf bands? Is Guantanamo Baywatch still recording for Dirtnap?
KC: Actually, they are doing their next LP on Suicide Squeeze! That is fine, though, we're all still friends. No plans for any more surf bands, but ya never know.
JG: Do you think you'll keep having Green Noise? Do you want to move to another part of Portland or start it up in your basement?
KC: We are currently looking at other locations. I definitely would not start up in my basement; rather I would close the store and just run the label/mail-order out of my basement. That is actually been the long term goal for awhile, but I think we're at least a few years away from it, though. We'll see what happens!
