Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2010
|Some solos in the Sangres for Independence Day: Crestone Needle via Southface, followed by Broken Hand Peak via North ridge/West slopes, followed by Humboldt Peak via typical West ridge in one long day. Drove over from Rye and left the truck at the South Colony Lakes trailhead around 4:30 am, first one on the Needle summit at 8:00 am sharp, Broken Hand summit at 10:15 am, rested at upper South Colony Lake for lunch hour (beautiful trout visible in the rapids), Humboldt Peak summit around 3:30 pm, back at the truck at 6:00 pm and back in Rye in time for dinner. Beautiful day, great rock, but felt like I had been run over by a train the next morning. Highly recommend.

|South Face/West Ridge
Date Climbed: Dec 22, 2010
|Stephanie and I took a meandering route up the south face which connected with the west ridge. Absolutely brutal conditions on the summit ridge and summit. Only time I've been on the summit of a peak and was worried about getting lost.
Clouds all day and rime covered EVERYTHING. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought I was in Antartica.

Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2010
|After climbing 20 feet up the Ellingwood Arete and deciding the icy conditions would prove too much for our relatively inexperienced group (Kerr and Eric), we headed up Humboldt for a better view of the area. It's a beautiful spot with views as far south as the small mountain along side the Rio Grande Gorge south of Taos.

|I ran into my first wild Colorado bear on the Rainbow Trail while hiking alone. I passed the trail to go up the east ridge, so I climbed straight up the "fall line" until I got above tree line, and fortunately the ridge I was on led to the east summit ridge. On the way down, I bush-whacked somewhere along the east ridge and came out just above the South Colony Lake road closure. Bluebird day, didn't see any hikers, just a lot of elk.

Tuckahoe Plunkett went to the Rainbow Bridge on Sept. 11, 2012, after a brief battle with bone cancer.
Named for the park in which he was abandoned, Tuckahoe went to live in his forever home in August of 2009.
He lived a full, happy life during those three short years and showed his love every day.
Article Photos
Tuckahoe Plunkett
Tuckahoe preferred to walk without a leash, loved to chase tennis balls and called "shotgun" when riding in the car. He loved to go to "school" at Happy Tails Doggy Daycare, where he could play with his friends. He attended the evening Miracle League games to see the kids and get a hot dog from the concession stand.
Tuckahoe was a gentle soul who smiled every day, patiently waiting by the window for his mom to come home. He was easily the "best dog ever!"
Tuckahoe's family would like to especially thank Dr. Yeager at Lakemont Veterinary Clinic for taking care of her "beach dog" and to the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society for finding Tuckahoe and keeping him safe until he was adopted by his loving family.
Tuckahoe will be sadly missed by his mom, Kathy Plunkett of Hollidaysburg, his sister, Max, his special friend, Kayla, and all who knew and loved him

The Nevada Highway Patrol has identified a 28-year-old Carson City man as the motorcyclist who was thrown from his 2004 Suzuki in a crash with a BMW that temporarily shut down four lanes of interstate in Reno after authorities say the two were racing faster than 100 mph.
NHP says Justin Stevens was thrown several hundred feet after the two vehicles collided Thursday on I-580 just north of the Glendale exit and south of I-80 near the Grand Sierra Resort.
The BMW sedan driven by 34-year-old Dietrich DeJean of Reno skidded out of control and came to rest on its wheels near the center median.
Stevens suffered road rash to much of his body and was hospitalized, but his injuries are not life-threatening.
The incident remains under investigation.

Requesting feedback for our open source eBooks
Soft launch of our Open Voices eBooks
Will the Open Voices eBooks help promote the benefits of open source to new audiences?
The opensource.com team has been working diligently on putting together a new resource for the open source community and beyond. What started out as "content bundles" are now the first iteration of our Open Voices eBooks.
There are two free eBooks released under Creative Commons that we're looking to gather feedback on from our community during the soft launch. First, we contacted each author and collected their comments. Now, we'd like to get your thoughts and suggestions.
Open Voices eBooks
The Open-Minded CEOs eBook features CEOs from some of today's most intriguing companies. We call these leaders 'open-minded' because of their intuitive sense that the open source way is the best way to do business.
An open world: Stories from the open source community eBook offers some of our most empowering stories. From the trenches. From the library. From the cubicle. From the capitol. From the classroom and the boardroom and the courtroom. These are our community members—and perhaps you could be in the next edition.
How to provide feedback
If you'd like to provide any feedback, feel free to vote in our poll and add your comments below. We look forward to hearing from you.
Purpose and FAQs
The purpose of collecting some of our most compelling content is two-fold. First, we're trying to reach new audiences. Readers who may not stumble upon our website because of a particular article. Second, we'd like to breathe new life into the articles that have been popular with our audience. Extending the life of the open source stories that are having a postive impact in our global society are worth another look.
Ultimately, we'd like to get these eBooks into places like Amazon and Barnes & Noble where readers are looking for free eBooks. Your suggestions on the best way to do this would be very helpful.
Will there be an ePub format?
Yes. Our team is currently investigating the ePub format thanks to feedback from some of our authors. (Thanks Karsten Gerloff for the tutorial.) This will most likely be phase two of this project, so stay tuned.
Will you publish future eBooks?
Our next eBook is already in the works! We plan on evaluating common themes in the articles we publish and then create new eBooks to continue promoting the open source way.
Why are you doing a soft launch?
We value the open source way and want to gather feedback from our community before the final versions are ready. Over the last few weeks, we've gathered valuable insights from the authors who are included in the first set of eBooks. Extending the review to our community members is the next natural step for us.
What's the selection process for the articles included in the eBooks?
Great question. For the first two eBooks, we were looking for common themes that would weave together different articles. This is a new initiative for our team and the selection process was very fluid. Here are some insights on how we approached the first two eBooks.
The Open Minded CEO's eBook is pretty straight-forward. We reviewed articles contributed by CEOs and interviews that were conducted. Then we put them together.
For An open world eBook, we used a combination of page views and input from our moderators to determine the articles that really capture the essence of the open source way. This eBook started out as a "best of" collection but we renamed it to reflect what the eBook was really about.
Why did you name the series Open Voices?
We definitely wanted to have a common brand across the eBooks. We decided to name the eBook series Open Voices because we are amplifying the voices from our community. It seemed appropriate and we liked the way it represents the purpose of the eBook series.
When will the final versions be available?
We decided to do a soft launch in order to gather feedback from the contributing authors and now our community. Once all the feedback has been gathered, we'll make any updates and changes to the eBooks and release the final version. This process should only take a few weeks.
8 Comments
Well, this is a good idea. The beauty of ebooks is that people can interact with the book compared to the traditional books where it is mostly one-sided. Letting the community speak about their opinions will make discussions more fun and interesting.
An "open source" ebook with a Creative Commons license written with Adobe Indesign on a Mac...
Good idea, but it would be nice if this was also written with open source software on open source systems --- otherwise, the essays are pretty much lip service
Libreoffice is a good start... It has an epub export extension..
and then there is:
Just to name two great tools for publishing using Open Source software...
Really, I was just remarking on the irony of using expensive Adobe software to publish a book extolling the virtues of using Open Source...
We use an open source stack that includes Libre Office, Sigil, and Calibre to publish open ebooks at http://elangdell.cali.org/. The process is pretty straight forward and the result provides .epub, .mobi, and .pdf files to our readers.
Since most of the content in the books comes from articles on this site and the site is powered by Drupal, you might want to take a look at the EPUB module for Drupal (http://drupal.org/project/epub) as one way to get started.
And in the spirit of open, I'd be happy to help out getting these books into .epub if I can.
Yes, absolutely publish open ebooks and branch out to disseminating the information to a wide audience. It's desperately needed.
I read through the ´Open minded CEO´, and it is a good idea to publish open ebooks. No matter what format.... :-)

~ QPB's Unique Handcrafted Boxes, Wooden Puzzle Boxes & Secret Boxes ~Handcrafted wooden boxes by Quagmire Puzzle Boxes are much more than just another puzzle box. These unique boxes are completely original designs created by artist, inventor and master craftsman Randal Gatewood. His mechanical puzzle boxes have names like: The Double Crossed, The Keepers Key Safe, Box of ZN , (Box of Zen) and the Ultimate Personal Box (UPB Box). Each of these handcrafted puzzle boxes is really a mechanical wooden puzzle - disguised within the boxes design, i.e., the puzzle is built into the box. So obviously the challenge is to open the puzzle box. These are really very tricky boxes and a lot of fun... well, fun if you like a good challenge! Many of these complex designs are made the "old school" way using basic woodworking tools and often require hand built tools and jigs to be made. Creating these unique designs involves many hours of contemplation, imagination, sketching, fabricating and prototyping. The 3 dimensional aspects of Randal's puzzle boxes add real depth to the details making each of these unique designs an inspired work of art combined with mechanical woodworking ingenuity. Randal says that process of creating his designs is a very artistic expression what he likes to call working art, because they are something that you can really interact with as well as display for their esthetic value. And because these tricky boxes were designed to be used as well as looked at, they really can make a great stash box to place everything from jewelry, secret documents or any other favorite keepsakes. The Original Limited Edition designs have been purchased by collectors and enthusiasts around the world. If you're looking for really unique handcrafted hardwood puzzle boxes, one of our designs may be just what you're looking for! Click here to read more about Randal G. All of Randals designs are engraved with his signature logo to distinguish his work. His limited editions also include a serial number engraved on each piece and come with a certificate of authenticity, care instructions, and of course the secret operating solution. As a courtesy to our clients that purchase Randal's work, we only makes the solutions available to the original purchaser and all of the documentation is copyrighted. Some of his designs have actually sold out before he got them completed. Because only a few designs come out each year, knowing when a puzzle box is going to be released before it is made public is possible by signing up for our QPB newsletter. No worries, we will only send out a newsletter when there is a new release. No spam and your information is kept completely private.
~ Bringing secret boxes into the 21st century with laser technology! ~Randal G. has a whole new line of unique secret boxes in work. A few of these completed original designs are now available such as the The Uncle Herbart secret box and the The Box Joint Box secret puzzle box. These designs provide a great challenge along with being esthetically attractive. The laser allows adding artistic concepts to these designs such as with our Uncle Herbart secret box. But even the laser has it's limitations and the majority of the work is still handcrafted workmanship. The result is still a high quality unique wooden puzzle box at a much more affordable price... and that's always good. So keep checking back, more new designs are always in work!
~ History of Puzzle Boxes ~Puzzle boxes go by many other names such as secret boxes, trick opening boxes and even locking trick boxes just to name a few. It is estimated that the first of these "personal boxes" came about in Japan most likely before the 1800's. Established in the Hakone-Odawara region of Japan, this area is known for its abundant variety of trees producing a wide variety of natural wood colors. These colorful woods are used to create the distinctive and often elaborate pattern overlays known as Yosegi or Zougan for which they are so readily recognized for. Japan has exported secret puzzle boxes to the West since around the 1870's. These wooden boxes are often complex and may require many "moves" to open them. So the puzzle is actually the box itself and the challenge of course is to figure out the puzzle to get into the secret compartment inside. The technique was past down for many generations from master craftsman to apprentice. In 1984 the unique craft of Traditional Japanese puzzle boxes was designated a National Traditional Handicraft by the International Trade & Industry Minister of Japan. From these very talented craftsman evolved an idea and art that fascinates everyone that see them for the first time. Currently, there are still many master craftsman and apprentices producing them and keeping the art style alive. They are available in many sizes, difficulty configurations and artistic patterns. And what is great about of these puzzle boxes is that, unlike any other type of puzzles, you can actually put something inside them for keeping your secret things from unwitting subjects. It was these unique puzzle boxes that motivated artist Randal Gatewood to design and build his own puzzle-istic art sold here on Quagmire Puzzle Boxes.com.

On my way to Omaha. A day early. I will be there late at night, as I am taking the train from Chicago! I can't wait to see you all!
Thanks I found it. She and her partner are in first!!! So excited.
Remember this guy.....Tomoki Hiwatashi...just had a birthday and earned a big birthday present... highlight of the day so far.....tonight, junior ladies! Tomarrow morning, senior ladies practice.....BTW, the schedule of this nats is pretty darned nice....there is time to sleep in mostly and have dinner mostly....
My friend and I had a great time at junior ladies tonight. Wish I could see their free skate. I'm pretty sure I spotted you across the rink in the front row by the kiss and cry, Chris. Our seats tonight were exactly three rows above the seats my mom and I have for the weekend. Very good spot in section 119.
When we were leaving we saw Peter Oppegard and Karen Kwan sitting in the next section, so I spoke to Karen and told her Michelle's wedding looked beautiful. She was very gracious and friendly. I am totally stupidly fan girl excited over having that exchange! I called my mom to tell her about the night and told her about that. She laughed at me; I said, hey, you'd be stupid excited, too. She had to admit she would.
Can't wait until the weekend now!!
Ah, the joys of figure skating competition. A lady behind me says her older lady friend has been sick for two days but will come in today and sit four rows back, wearing a mask. The sick lady, comes in, comes down to her friend, takes off her mask and leans over her friend and starts chatting into her face! Then she puts her mask back on and goes to her seat. But she soon doesnt feel well and leaves. Then my seatmate for the competition, a nice older lady, shows up today, shakes my hand, and tells me she is recovering from the flu!... I wash my hand with hand sanitizer as she coughs into her sleeve and then she sees an old friend, who she gets up for and goes over to and gives him a hug and talks into his face, failing to tell the older gentlemen that she has influenza. No wonder 20,000 old folks die from the flu...I have had the shot but it doesnt work so well on us older folks and it is only 62 percent effective as it is....I think I will wear my HEPA mask tomarrow....you will really be able to see me then!
Chris the old man with COPD as it is who is taking a break from Junior mens long......
Stay well, Chris (and everyone in Omaha). Thx for everyone's eyewitness reports.
I posted the photo below earlier in the Sr. Dance Entries thread, but after reading your post, I think you will appreciate it more than anyone, Chris. Skaters understandably also are concerned about catching the flu.
The caption from @AlexShibutani is:
"Great / paranoid minds think alike! @maiashibutani @rossminer #Omaha2013 #flying #fluseason #stayinghealthy #notcontagiouswepromise"
My seat mate is better. Ashley Wagner caught the norovirus and wass off the ice for three days but is back to fighting form. I have had norovirus three times and I am so glad she is over it. Hope it doesnt go around the arena. Incubation period is six hours....It is so strange to see Amanda coach Mark and he doesnt look her in the eye but looks at his other coach...but Amanda has come alive! She is no longer the shy partner....I actually saw her bubbley!
Easy day today....lots of rest and R and R and watching practices...but tonight will be loooooonngggggggg.
Don't worry louisa05- I acted the same way when I met Karen Kwan two years ago at the Greensboro nationals. My children were playing in the fanfest area with Karen's children and I was geeking out thinking that my children were playing with Michelle's nieces! When Karen came to pick up her girls my husband asked if she would mind taking a picture with our girls.
FWIW, IN says that last week Wagner had food poisoning (salmonella) ... as opposed to norovirus.
But if IN is correct, the distinction would have made a difference for those around Wagner during her illness. The risk of norovirus contagion would have been much more worrisome (and potentially of increased consequence for a man of Mr. Nicks' age, for example).
Chris, I'm sorry I missed this thread earlier. So glad you're in the rink and on the job as a reporter! As for everyone breathing illness onto you, maybe you should wear a mask. In my city I see a lot of people doing that. One young woman actually had a black velveteen mask cover to make it more of a fashion statement.
I'm glad you got your shot, though. I got mine in September. Maybe they're not perfect, but they're better than zero.
You are going to be practically next to Meryl and Charlie in the K&C. I am sooooo jealous.

Highly educated and experienced in the field of neonatology (the branch of medicine that deals with the care of newborn infants and the treatment of their diseases), the physicians and nurses of the Neonatal Intensive Care Program at Lankenau Medical Center provide personalized care to premature babies and other seriously ill newborns. The units are also staffed by respiratory therapists, social workers and pharmacists whose primary responsibilities are to provide care and services to babies. Accessibility to our Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), including special emergency transport, offers a vital lifeline to families living in the Philadelphia suburbs and surrounding areas.
It is important for parents to know that most problems of the premature or full-term, high-risk newborn are temporary and correctable. What they need is time: time for the premature newborn to develop immature body systems, and time for the high-risk newborn to overcome severe illness. For both, the NICU regimen is a 24-hour, day-by-day, intensive program to help them achieve these treatment goals.
When first admitted to the NICU, many premature babies may weigh two pounds or less. Because of minimal body fat and muscle tissue, or illness, they may not have the power to move vigorously and will lie in a limp position. They sleep more than full-term babies. This is not worrisome, for they need more rest, which is essential to their growth and development.
A full-term baby (born at 37 weeks gestation or more) already has developed life's basic skills while still in the womb. Usually by the 35th week of the mother's pregnancy, a fetus is able to swallow, grasp, move about and even cry. Premature babies have to be taught, that is, stimulated to do many of these things once they have gained the strength to do so.
Having come from a wet environment into dry air, the baby's skin is dry and sometimes flaky. It is usually reddish in color but may also be jaundiced (have a yellow tint) due to a breakdown of red blood cells.
Full-term babies admitted to the NICU generally must overcome an acute illness. They may suffer from infections, respiratory distress or low blood sugar. Common causes of respiratory distress are infection, inhalation of fetal waste into the lungs before or at the time of birth, or fluid in the lungs.
Complications from a delivery may result in an infant's needing the NICU. As with the premature baby, the high-risk newborn may experience jaundice.

Charleston County School District Superintendant Dr. Nancy McGinley briefed the school board last night on how officials hope to create enough seats for East Cooper students.
The superintendant has been working with District II officials on rezoning and the concern is how - between now and 2018 when they get the Carolina Park Elementary built - are we going to have enough desks to serve East Cooper?
She announced to the board a plan developed by working with the District II Constituent Board and the Town of Mount Pleasant that has three strategic parts.
• A partnership with East Cooper Montessori will be created to renovate the former Laing building to expand East Cooper Montessori which is a proven, highly successful school. The district's strategic plan has always been to put choice in every region and this would allow them to expand the Montessori choice option in East Cooper.
• When the new Sullivan's Island School is built, the district will open East Cooper Magnet School at the former Whitesides for approximately 500 students with marginal "make ready" costs.
The magnet option at Whitesides would come online during the 2014 school year and McGinley has included money in her proposed budget for advance hiring of principals and start up costs.
• McGinley will also bring to the board a recommendation to build out the new Jennie Moore and new Laing at 1,200 capacity verses opening with 900 students. This would come online in school year 2015.
District officials have identified fund savings from the 2005 capital program to fund parts of this and they've identified costs savings from the bid award from the Wando Middle College to pay for this.
This is a multi-fold concept - by being able to bring the additional seats during the attempt to defer and delay redistricting to 2015, the concept ensures there is no gap and they can still bring additional seats on in an innovative and cost effective way and provide East Cooper with two choice options.
The strategy is part of the budget discussions that will occur over the next month.

Nolan Bushnell, founder of all things at one point joyous to children, is
featured in an interview
with Red Herring where he is asked for his opinion on the state of the video
game industry today.
Bushnell, who started Atari, is one of the grandfathers of the video game
industry. When asked about about which areas he still follows of his former
industry, he said, "I'm very curious and interested in the Nintendo Wii. I think
it may expand the market beyond the hardcore [18- to 24-year old]."
He also expressed fondness for Microsoft's online strategy, saying, "Xbox
Live is interesting because it potentially becomes the platform for the living
But the tuned changed to a less positive note when it came to PlayStation
"I think Sony shot themselves in the foot… there is a high probability [they]
will fail. The price point is probably unsustainable. For years and years Sony
has been a very difficult company to deal with from a developer standpoint. They
could get away with their arrogance and capriciousness because they had an
installed base," Bushnell said.
Bushnell explained that ease of software development could be a deciding
factor: "They have also historically had horrible software tools. You compare
that to the Xbox 360 with really great authoring tools [and] additional revenue
streams from Xbox live… a first party developer would be an idiot to develop for
Sony first and not the 360. People don't buy hardware, they buy software."
The interviewer then gave a counterpoint, stating that Sony must have been
doing something right in order to sell over 100 million units of each
PlayStation generation.
"It wasn't anything brilliant that they did. With the PS and PS2 it was
timing. They had the right pricing at the right time [and were] almost the
accidental winner," answered Bushnell. "It would not surprise me if a year from
now they'll be struggling to sell 1 million units. [Factoring in the PS3's
price], I think in the U.S. the number of early adopters you have is actually
around 300,000."
Sony is targeting to ship
400,000 PlayStation 3 consoles to the U.S. for its launch window, and a
considerable portion of the allotment already sold out via pre-orders.

Being first to the market does not make great timing and saying Atari still makes games is inaccurate, Infogrames release under the Atari name. The Atari of old no longer exists. The clash of the next gen is far from over we're only starting to see the 360 maturing and giving us great titles. We'll need to see how both the PS3 and Wii mature before we can actually call any of them flops.

The sequestered budget cuts that will be inflicted on Friday sound dire enough. But beyond their short-term impact lies this more ominous long-term reality:
The powers that be in Washington remain woefully unable — or at least unwilling — to make the difficult budgetary decisions needed to correct America's reckless course toward bottom-line disaster.
An apt assessment of that ongoing fiscal irresponsibility:
"What we have done is kicked this can down the road. We are now at the end of the road and are not in a position to kick it any further."
That was Barack Obama in January 2009, less than a week before he first took the presidential oath of office.
And though the president will meet with congressional leaders from both parties Friday in an attempt to minimize sequester damage, he has persisted in kicking the debt-crisis can down the road for more than four years.
Now Republicans in Congress want to give President Obama the "flexibility" to decide which items to cut to reach spending-restraint goals.
The president's politically savvy response, in effect: "Thanks, but no thanks."
The proverbial hot potato comes to mind.
So does the congressional duty to make hard spending — and taxing — choices.
In fairness to the Republican House, though, it has passed budgets the last two years, and recently has passed two bills aimed at averting Friday's sequester cuts. The Democratic Senate hasn't passed a budget since April 29, 2009 — or any bills to meet Friday's fiscal deadline.
Meanwhile, President Obama is still resisting meaningful entitlement reform — and is again pushing for higher taxes on the wealthy as his preferred means of closing the ominous gap between federal tax revenue and federal spending.
Less than two months ago, he secured a year-end "fiscal cliff" deal that will impose more than $600 billion in tax hikes.
That outcome generated considerable punditry about how he had again trumped the GOP opposition. Now he wants even more on the taxing side by eliminating some deductions.
Perhaps some of those tax changes are in order. As Mr. Obama and fellow Democrats fairly point out, Republican nominee Mitt Romney advocated such "reforms" during last year's presidential campaign.
In the wake of four consecutive federal deficits of more than $1 trillion, however, it should be clear that we can't tax our way back to fiscal balance.
Yet according to House Speaker John Boehner, the president told him late last year during the fiscal-cliff fight, "We don't have a spending problem."
The White House has not denied that account. And though the president has repeatedly hailed spending "reductions" in that fiscal-cliff compromise, the troubling fact remains that the vast majority of those cuts are not scheduled to begin until the eighth year of the 10-year plan.
Yes, the impending sequester cuts are troubling — especially with two-thirds of them coming from the Defense Department.
But while $85 billion is a significant chunk of change, it's less than 2.3 percent of the federal budget. We'll ultimately have to cut much more deeply to right the foundering federal fiscal ship.
If you doubt that, ponder the enduring validity of this insight from a federal lawmaker explaining his vote against a debt-ceiling boost:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies."
Our national debt was $8.2 trillion when Sen. Barack Obama sounded that warning on March 20, 2006.
Today our national debt is $16.62 trillion.
And regardless of the current furor over the sequester, that still-soaring debt is a sign of a continuing "leadership failure" in both the White House and Congress.

6 Insane Drug Myths People Used to Teach as Fact
Life has never been good for people who like drugs. Well, unless you're including every second of every day before the 1920s. Children's medicinal heroin is still a few years of hard lobbying from finding its way back to the shelf, but pot users finally have a light at the end of the tunnel, and there's even hope for MDMA, thanks to Zoloft's shit-eating incompetence at treating PTSD.
It's the dawn of a new era. "New" doesn't mean "free of bullshit," though. And being hip doesn't mean you aren't prone to believing a whole galaxy of lies.
#6. Drug Addicts Are Easy to Spot
This is the 21st century, and no one besides the odd straight-edge kid and maybe your eighth grade counselor believes any of the lies peddled by D.A.R.E. We're enlightened, and we know that someone who likes the occasional puff of the devil's lettuce or dose of magic mushrooms can still be a productive member of society. But our tolerance for illicit narcotics comes to a quick end once "hard" drugs enter the picture.
Meth, for example: It's basically crack for poor white people. We know it rots your face, and Breaking Bad has given us a pretty clear picture of average users:
They're emaciated wraiths living in the margins of society and making their money through a combination of drug dealing, panhandling, and ATM-based murder. Those drug addicts exist. And so do these:
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
She snorts it right off the breast pump.
Researchers from the great schools of America's meth belt (the Crystal League?) have concluded that meth use is often seen as a necessity:
"The long hours and tedious work in oil fields, agriculture, construction, ancillary health care, and fast food restaurants may be more tolerable on methamphetamine. Users report using meth to provide the energy to work multiple jobs or be a good mother."
And that's a critical part of the whole meth story. It's a stimulant, and large numbers of people rely on it because they need more energy than 60 hours of manual labor and three kids leave them with. Is all that meth helping their lives out in the long run? Of course not, but they aren't living the party life 24/7. They're doing a bump before their 16-hour shift at Walmart, because have you ever had to work a 16-hour shift at anything?
Digital Vision./Photodisc/Getty Images
"Shoot my scrotum full of caffeine, I don't even care anymore."
It's also worth noting that Walt's infamous "blue" meth wouldn't have made one fuck of difference to street-level addicts. Any sane dealer is going to cut that shit because it means more profit! There's only one group of meth users that would really care about 99 percent purity: rich people who like to party. And these people aren't getting busted on the street or breaking any visible bad. They have lawyers and nice cars, thus rendering them functionally invisible to most copdar.
So yeah, the stereotype of the unemployed drug addict isn't particularly accurate. The gub'mint estimates that three-quarters of drug users are employed. That shouldn't be too surprising if you've been to any good parties. But while we're busting myths, let's talk about the drug-addicted welfare recipient, tokin' his marijuanacrack on Uncle Sam's dime. Drug users are just about as common among welfare recipients as they are anywhere else. There's zero evidence for a giant underclass of drug-addicted welfare sucklers. It's almost like bad shit happens to sober people too.
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
This guy makes $200,000 a year when he's not montaging his way through packets of pain pills.
#5. Addiction Is Like a Lurking Monster
One of the few things I did take away from my high school drug awareness class was the knowledge that some substances are inherently addictive. Try heroin or crack just once and BOOM, sweet lady addiction has you dead to rights. The Reefer Madness bullshit gets wiped out as soon as you meet someone who smokes pot without having their life boil up in catastrophe, but absolutely everything about heroin looks sketchy, and crack smells like burning garbage. Factor in those horror stories of abuse and meth mouth, and the only way drug addiction makes sense is if these substances are like vicious narcotic tigers dragging poor souls into madness.
Ryan McVay/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Run for your lives, it's ketamine!"
Only no, of course that's not how it works. Chemicals aren't ninth-level wizards: They can't dominate people. At most, 23 percent of heroin users become dependent, while 80 to 90 percent of people who try methamphetamine or crack never develop an addiction. The whole substance model of addiction is based on a study that showed that rats trapped in cages, alone, will choose heroin over food. This was extrapolated as "Heroin's so addictive, it'll make you stop eating!"
Image Source/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Yeah, alright. Shoot me up."
What it really said was "Rats trapped in cages are so miserable, they'll drug themselves to death." Another scientist took rats that were already addicted and put them in a cage with friends, exercise toys, and space to run around. Shockingly, the rats vastly decreased their drug use and started doing normal healthy rat stuff. Some of them still took drugs on occasion, but hell, who doesn't?
#4. Drugs Cause Crime
This is basically the whole premise that kicked off the war on drugs, as well as the underlying assumption behind both RoboCop and the Judge Dredd reboot. It makes sense: Even if you're talking about drugs that don't cause violent behavior, like heroin or pot or sizzurp, people who get addicted to that shit commit a ton of crime just to buy more. This is the world as police procedurals have painted it for us.
Thinkstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty
"We caught him stealing crack to buy liquor."
But science has found the literal opposite to be true: Only a small percentage of drug users commit non-drug crimes. When arrested drug users commit a second crime, it's almost always another case of "caught getting high." There's no armed robbery switch that enough hydrocodone flips in your head. If you're willing to shoot a man for drugs, you'd probably be willing to shoot him for a whole bunch of reasons.
Surveys of the prison population have found that 60 percent of incarcerated drug users didn't start until after their first arrest. So there's a pretty clear connection between being in prison and drug addiction. Someone should look into that.

"The emotional gain from companionship associated with owning a pet is clearly sufficient to offset the physical discomfort caused by continued allergic reactions," Coren said. The findings came as a surprise to many people, but perhaps not to pet lovers.
The human-animal bond is all about the mutual benefits of pets and people living together. And it is important that this bond remains beneficial for all involved.
"I have asthma and a number of allergies," said Gesine Lohr of Alameda, Calif. "The allergist at my HMO told me to get rid of my cats. I didn't want to do that and asked to have a skin pinprick test. The results were that I had low or no specific allergy to cats, and moderate to high reaction to dust and weeds." For a pet lover, this was good news.
An Acquired Tolerance?Cats are highly allergenic to some people; however, there are some who are able to develop a tolerance to the cat allergen. This tolerance can be developed or lost depending on the individual and circumstances.
Lost tolerance is often referred to as the "Thanksgiving effect," because it is seen when people go to college or live in a cat-free environment. When they come home to visit, they are allergic to their cat.
"I know of allergists who open their offices the Friday after Thanksgiving because this is so predictable," said Thomas Platts-Mills, MD, head of the Asthma and Allergic Diseases Center at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.
"I moved out of the house in my 20s," said Mary Gillis, of Haverhill, Mass. "When I went back home for the holidays, I would become very sick. It reached the point where I could only stay in the house for about 20 minutes. I visited an allergist and was tested, and found I was allergic to quite a few things, but the worst allergy was to cats.

The male equivalent of a slut.
"Wow, Jacob is such a manwhore."

Can you define these popular missing words?
A Manwhore is a male that has several key attributes. A typically young (18-25)male who dresses in designer clothing, carries multiple cellphones, has become a master of manipulating women, and makes it his personal mission to sleep with as many different women as possible qualifies as a manwhore. He also has virtually no emmotional attachment to any of his victims. The reputaion of manwhore makes gaining new potential victims somewhat difficult, so most manwhores are forced to switch territories and stomping grounds frequently. However, even in familair enviornments, many manwhores can continue to get laid by playing the "im misunderstood, or "Im just pissed and acting out over a bad breakup" card. A true master in both deception and cunning, a manwhore is any "good girls" worst nightmare come true.

A sexually active, promiscuous, younger man who often wears alot of flashy jewelery, has greased down, or spiked up hair and keeps a 'chicktionary'. He is well known at most health clinics and may have an STD named after him in his honour. He knows many girls but will often mix up or forget thier names. He will commonly have one or more illegitimate children (though not always, especially in the amateur stage) and his relation with other men is often strained, due to past encounters with girlfriends or wives.

Advanced Cancer Therapeutics (ACT) won a $158,000 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support preclinical development of a brain cancer drug that inhibits glycolysis targeting 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3). The award will fund studies in models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
PFKFB3 is a cancer metabolism target licensed to ACT from the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville. The enzyme is involved in the first, irreversible step of glycolysis, and ACT claims inhibiting its activity should block glucose uptake in cancer cells and inhibit cancer cell proliferation and growth.
"This grant will support ACT's efforts to investigate the use of this novel therapeutic agent targeting PFKFB3, a cancer metabolism target commonly over-expressed in GBM," remarks Gilles Tapolsky, Ph.D., ACT's CSO. "Even today, there are no satisfactory therapies for GBM, so we remain hopeful about this novel therapy and the impact it could provide patients."
Cancer therapeutics firm ACT has a strategic arrangement with the Brown Cancer Center that gives the firm an option to exclusively license anticancer IP developed at the center. ACT's strategy is to work with CROs to identify and progress the most promising preclinical anti-cancer products through completion of Phase I clinical trials. The firm's lead clinical-stage candidate, ACT-GRO-777, is a DNA aptamer licensed from Antisoma in April 2011, which is in Phase II clinical trials. ACT is evaluating the drug for additional human cancer trials in collaboration with the Brown Cancer Center.

15 Old Photographs That Prove the World Used to Be Insane
Auto Polo
This photo sets a new standard for athleticism. An event shall no longer be considered a sporting competition unless it contains:
A. Flying Hammers
B. Crashing Automobiles
C. Dramatic Spinal Injuries
No, really look at that picture again. Look at the man who has been freshly ejected from a speeding automobile. There he is, currently flailing through the air. Now look at the other man -- the one with a giant smile on his face, waiting to smack said crash victim with a comically oversized mallet before he hits the ground. Everybody in that image either died immediately after it was taken or were promptly investigated for suspected Highlanderism. But that was auto polo.
You would head out to your nearest muddy field, mount up an unstable, dangerous, rickety car -- a vehicle that had only been invented 30 years earlier, remember -- and then whale the bastard about psychotically while swinging a friggin' hammer over your head. That's like you and your friends buying a bunch of jet packs and jai alai sticks today and just setting off into the open sky, giving the finger to your concerned families -- it's insane that you would even own the technology in the first place, much less have the balls to violently misuse it like that. Auto polo was not just some Jackass-style one-off stunt, either ...
Demonstration matches were frequently held at county fairs and stadiums all across the country, though it was most prominent in the Midwest during the early 1910s. It was usually played with a basketball, as seen above, and the only mandated gear was a jaunty cap and a callous disregard for human life. It was every bit as unquestionably awesome as it was uncontrollably, screamingly retarded:
That picture is perfect. It's everything art should be: There's an Old West style sheriff in a ten-gallon hat, grimly staring off into the sunset as a pair of land-based airboats wait patiently for permission to start their automotive hammer-jousting. I'm going to dedicate that last sentence to my wife, because that's the most beautiful thing I've ever created.
Don't go thinking that auto polo was a case of things looking worse than they really were, either: I'm not cherry-picking exciting photos from a boring event. If you couldn't guess from the ridiculous overabundance of overturned cars and men flying through the air, about to successively eat shit and then have their heads bashed in by their own hurtling hammers:
Auto polo was so deadly, it was eventually banned nationwide. Heartbroken enthusiasts of sport and blunt-force injuries the world over had to pack up their families every Sunday, and settle for attending another boring old ...
Lion Drome
I've shown this photo once before, but I don't think I made it totally clear that Lion Dromes were not a fluke. This was just how you took in a show, back in the day. It was like going to the matinee now, only instead of watching Jeremy Renner pout in front of a shaky camera, you had the kids stick their unshielded little faces out over a bowl of automotive trauma and told them to inhale the heady fumes of gasoline and jungle predator.
Lion Dromes originally started as a spinoff of Walls of Death: enclosed arenas where small cars and motorcycles kicked gravity square in the beanbags with a boot made out of centrifugal force. But of course, driving sideways in defiance of how everything should be wasn't entertaining enough for the discerning, cane-fighting supercriminals of yesteryear. So they added lions, naturally:
Now you had stoic men in severe suits bolting great cats to tiny cars and trying to outrace a million years of primal, murderous instinct ... sideways.
However that, too, bored the masses, still coming down off the carnage-high of auto polo, so Wall of Death owners did what any good entertainer would do: They threw in hot dames and bigger cats.
Well, as hot a dame as they could find who was willing to risk flipping a go-kart on top of a furious lion. The pool was ... surprisingly narrow.
Our forefathers were so jaded by the rampant, unchained awesomeness of day-to-day life that they looked at motorcycles defying gravity with zero safety measures and stifled a yawn. Then they politely requested that the show owners mix some comely lasses and apex predators into the Bowl of Death to really earn that nickel admission fee.
I know that we, as a species, have come a long way since then: We have established such important concepts as "human rights" and "respect for animals" and "basic, rational safety measures" in our modern society. And that's great. Wonderful. But maybe it's time we all stopped and asked ourselves: Is it worth what we gave up? Is it worth the total and complete absence of angry lions doing sweet motorcycle tricks in our lives?
I humbly posit that it is not.

BELLWOOD - A few years ago, the Bellwood-Antis football team beat Moshannon Valley rather handily during the regular season, then played the Knights in the playoffs and eked out a victory. On Friday night, the same situation presented itself again in the form of Glendale.
But the Blue Devils learned their lesson, beating Glendale, 40-14, in the first round of the District 6 Class A playoffs at Memorial Stadium.
Bellwood beat Glendale during the regular season, 41-13.

Bellwood-Antis' Haden DeGennaro trots in for a touchdown past Glendale's Matt Bantly (14) and Doug Twigg.
"Two years ago we beat Mo Valley 44-0 at their place and then won 13-7 down here,'' Bellwood-Antis coach John Hayes said. "We talked to the kids about that. That's all you can do, but we reminded them during the week that the most important game was the one you have coming up."
Point taken by the Blue Devils, who dominated on defense while putting up some big rushing numbers.
Bellwood (10-1) will play next week at home against the winner of tonight's Bishop Guilfoyle-Juniata Valley game. Holding Glendale to a total of 130 yards was a good springboard for that game.
"From a defensive standpoint, I thought we played really, really well," Hayes said.
And it started on the first play of the game as Glendale quarterback Gary Witherow was picked off by Haden DeGennaro.
The Blue Devils then marched 43 yards in 10 plays, scoring on a 1-yard run by quarterback Seth Worthing for a 6-0 lead. After a three-and-out for the Vikings (6-5), Bellwood needed just three plays to go 51 yards for a score. DeGennaro took it in from 19 yards out, and a Tyler Campbell PAT kick made it 13-0.
"They are a good team and they execute well," Glendale coach Matt Irvine said. "They have excellent coaching and a good group of kids."
Glendale, which managed two first downs in the first half, did a couple of things that gave its fans a reason to cheer, but just not enough of them. Witherow picked off a Worthing pass in the first quarter, but the Vikings ended up punting the ball back to Bellwood.
"Missed opportunities and little mistakes ... we just were not executing properly, and that is something we worked on all week," Irvine said.
Bellwood went up 20-0 early in the second quarter when Worthing hit DeGennaro with a 29-yard touchdown pass at the 8:31 mark. Glendale followed with a spark, this one producing its first points of the night.
Damon Braniff returned the following kickoff 83 yards right up the middle of the field for a touchdown. Derrian Matchock's PAT at the 8:19 mark made it 20-7, and suddenly the Glendale sideline was alive.
"It seemed like we were getting some momentum at that point. They started believing again," Irvine said.
On Bellwood's next drive, the Blue Devils marched from their 32 down to the Glendale 20, only to be stopped on fourth down. On Glendale's first play from scrimmage after that, Witherow then threw a quick out to Braniff on the wing, who reversed field and then rumbled 56 yards down to the Bellwood 24.
However, the Vikings fumbled the ball two plays later with 53 seconds to play in the first half. Bellwood recovered but turned the ball over 48 seconds later down at the Glendale 27. The Vikings took a knee to end the half.
"The tough thing about this game is if you don't win it all, this is how it ends," Irvine said.
Bellwood came out on fire to start the second half, running three plays that amassed 57 yards en route to a score. Thanks to DeGennaro, Casey Gray - who rushed for 176 yards on 23 carries - and Worthing, Bellwood went up 27-7 after Worthing's 27-yard touchdown run.
"We wanted to establish an inside game, had some success there, and obviously that opened up the outside for us," said Hayes, whose club rushed for 382 yards on 58 carries behind 10 different backs.
A Bellwood pick followed which turned into a 10-play, 58-yard drive that ended with a Gray 4-yard touchdown run. The Campbell PAT kick at the 6:39 mark made it 34-7.
Braniff made another play for Glendale to get his team on the board in the fourth quarter. With Bellwood's reserves in, quarterback Owen Worthing handed off to Jake Stapleton, who was piled up behind the line of scrimmage. Braniff then simply took the ball from him and ran 65 yards for a touchdown, making it 34-14 with 9:50 to go on the clock.
"Other than the kickoff return and the takeaway, defensively we played super," Hayes said.
Bellwood's reserves were able to put one in the end zone when Stapleton scored on an 8-yard run with 6:35 to go in the game to set the final at 40-14.
"They have so much depth. If one guy is not doing the job, they bring in another guy who can," Irvine said. "They can pull a guy out for a series or two whereas we can't. We start to wear down and then that is it."

Thrombocytopenia [1]
Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which a person's blood has an unusually low level of platelets. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are found in a person's blood. They stop bleeding by helping the blood to clot and plugging damaged blood vessels. Thrombocytopenia happens when the body does not make enough platelets, is losing platelets, or destroys platelets. Thrombocytopenia is common in people with cancer, especially in those receiving chemotherapy.
Signs and symptoms
Relieving side effects—also called symptom management, palliative care [3], or supportive care—is an important part of cancer care and treatment. Talk with your health care team about any symptoms you experience, including any new symptoms or a change in symptoms.
People with thrombocytopenia may experience some of these symptoms:
- Unexpected bruising
- Small purple or red spots under the skin, called petechiae
- Bleeding from the nose or gums
- Heavier than usual menstrual periods in women
- Black or bloody bowel movements or red- or pink-colored urine
- Bloody vomit
- Severe headaches
- Dizziness
- Pain in the joints or muscles
- Increased weakness
Tell your doctor about any symptoms of thrombocytopenia immediately. Often, symptoms do not occur until the level of platelets is very low. Many patients do not know they have thrombocytopenia until it is diagnosed during a blood test.
Platelets and red and white blood cells are made in bone marrow, the soft, spongy tissue found inside larger bones. Some types of chemotherapy [4] and other medications damage the bone marrow, lowering its production of platelets. However, thrombocytopenia caused by chemotherapy is usually temporary. Rarely, the chemotherapy may permanently damage some of the bone marrow cells that make platelets.
In addition, a person's body can make specialized proteins called antibodies that cause a person's immune system to attack platelets. Normally, antibodies help destroy substances that appear harmful to the body, such as bacteria and viruses, but sometimes this process works incorrectly and antibodies are produced that destroy healthy parts of a person's body.
Radiation therapy alone usually does not cause thrombocytopenia, unless a significant amount of radiation is directed at the pelvis, the patient is receiving chemotherapy at the same time, or the cancer spreads to the bone.
Thrombocytopenia may also occur when cancer cells, such as leukemia or lymphoma cells, crowd normal bone marrow cells. Although rare, thrombocytopenia can occur when other cancers, such as prostate or breast cancer, spread to the bone marrow. Cancer of the spleen is another uncommon cause of thrombocytopenia. Excess platelets are stored in the spleen, and cancer of the spleen can cause the spleen to enlarge, trapping too many platelets.
Thrombocytopenia is diagnosed with a blood test called a platelet count, which counts the number of platelets in a sample of blood. People with some types of cancer or those who are undergoing a type of cancer treatment known to cause thrombocytopenia may receive regular blood tests to look for thrombocytopenia and other blood-related complications.
People whose platelet counts drop while receiving chemotherapy may switch to a lower dose or wait longer between chemotherapy cycles. In addition, some patients receiving chemotherapy may be given a drug called oprelvekin (Neumega) to help prevent severe thrombocytopenia. Because of the risk of bleeding, your doctor may delay any cancer surgery until your platelet counts are restored to a normal level.
Meanwhile, people with a low platelet level may receive a transfusion of platelet cells to prevent spontaneous, heavy bleeding. However, transfused platelets only last about three days, and some patients may need multiple transfusions. In general, platelets received through a transfusion do not last as long in patients who have received many transfusions.
Along with treatment from your doctor, the following tips will help you avoid problems if your platelet level is low:
- Don't drink alcohol or take any medications without first asking your doctor because these can make bleeding problems worse.
- Use an extra soft toothbrush, and don't floss if your gums bleed.
- Blow your nose gently using a soft tissue.
- Be careful using scissors, knives, needles, or tools.
- Take steps to prevent burns while cooking.
- Shave with an electric razor.
- Avoid contact sports and other activities that might cause injury.

First of all a goalie has to have a passion for the position if you want them to be good. They have to want it for themselves. Because, some teams put the bigger and slow kid in the net, hat is not what you want to do. I like to tell the kids that goalie is the most important position, because it is. The goalie controls so much of the game. I want someone in net that has good vision, is loud, can communicate well, can pass well, and is not afraid of getting hit by the ball.
Last year we didn't have a goalie for JV so, I had to convince one of the kids to play. I talked to the team asking the kids who wanted to have the biggest impact on the team should give it a try. We had one kid step up and he has been getting better ever since.
I had someone ask me how to approach warm-up. It all depends on the amount of time you have. But, planning this out is the coach's job. The first step is to start passing and making the passes longer. This way you can work on clears. Having one you're your players jogging around so the goalie can pass to different areas of the field. Then you go into the cage to take shots. Take shot high, middle, low, on both sites. When goalie is taking shots, you have to remember to take shots in all areas of field where a shot can come from. This way they are warmed up for all the different shots that happen in a game. Another key note is that who ever is doing the shooting needs to not rip them as hard as they can. This way you build up your goalies confidence.
Talk to a couple older goalies to see what they like. Every goalie is different.
Here are a couple of videos that I want my goalies to watch to get better.

We would prefer not to think about terrible things happening at or near our schools, simply because we don't like to think about our children being in danger. Unfortunately, the world we live in today forces us to make plans to deal with the unthinkable.
Three times in the last year Randolph County schools have been forced to deal with unthinkable circumstances. Last week Coalton Elementary School was placed on lockdown after a woman was shot multiple times by her ex-husband, who was then shot and killed during a standoff with police.
The shooting did not take place at the school, but police responded to the scene near school grounds, leading to the lockdown.
Earlier this year, Elkins High School was placed on lockdown following the shooting of a state trooper near school grounds, and a student was fatally stabbed outside a Tygarts Valley High School football game.
In all three incidents, school officials responded to horrific circumstances with clear heads, following protocol and making sure students were safe. Those officials had also been involved in creating plans for their schools to follow during crisis situations, Superintendent of Schools Dr. James Phares said this week.
"Each one of the schools has to develop a crisis management plan" which then had to be learned and understood by both teachers and students, Phares said Monday.
"We've been fortunate in that all the schools have taken the crisis management plan seriously," Phares said. "It's a shame that we have to plan for events such as these, but this is the world we live in today."
The schools collaborated on the crisis management plans not only with the Randolph board office but also with the state Department of Education and the state School Building Authority.
"They work closely with us," Phares said. He added that the schools' ability to lock down has been greatly enhanced due to grants from the School Building Authority.
The Randolph school system has also worked with Regional Educational Service Agencies VII, which has created "a uniform emergency color code system," Phares said.
We applaud the schools' staffs and the county officials who put together the crisis management plans. We appreciate their level-headed willingness to confront dark possibilities that most of us would rather not.

Andrew Taylor '10
Andrew Taylor finished his MBA in 2010. He is now a benefits consultant for Gallagher Benefit Services and the owner of Pure Life Expeditions, an adventure travel business with excursions to Costa Rica. Andrew said Westminster taught him critical, analytical and integrative thinking by requiring him to track, reevaluate, and adjust every decision he makes. In terms of leadership and teamwork, he said that in a group setting, the person he respected the most was usually the person who took the less glamorous work in the group; they also often ended up being the person to understand the project the most, a principle that he uses frequently in his work. Last year, Andrew and some friends created a fundraising website for Choice Humanitarian: "We used a fun subject, men growing mustaches, to help Choice eradicate poverty in third world countries" including Mexico, Guatemala, Kenya, and Nepal, he said. This was a fun and rewarding experience for him, as he fostered a lasting relationship with the nonprofit and further developed his dedication to global awareness.

Whether a proposal to guide development at Lake Tahoe for years to come goes far enough to protect the area's natural environment continues to be a concern for area conservationists.
Laurel Ames, with the Tahoe Area Sierra Club, called the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's Regional Plan Update "unfocused" at a joint meeting of the agency's Governing Board and Advisory Planning Commission at Harveys Lake Tahoe Thursday.
The long-awaited plan contains few binding rules and there are "exemptions to everything," Ames added.
The TRPA released final documents for the Regional Plan Update this week. The agency's Governing Board is expected to vote on the plan in December.
In a letter submitted by the TRPA on Tuesday, the Sierra Club contends most of the discussion about the Regional Plan Update to this point has focused on the proposed regulations, rather than how the regulations will accomplish the TRPA's mandated environmental goals, known as thresholds. Thresholds include standards for everything from lake clarity to noise.
"Little, if any, discussion has occurred regarding the status of the thresholds, or the impact the proposed Plan amendments would have on the thresholds," according to Tuesday's letter. "Further, absent from any documents or discussions are any attempts to determine how thresholds will be achieved and maintained."
TRPA spokeswoman Julie Regan disputed the club's contention, saying the Regional Plan Update is focused on getting the agency's already stringent standards for environmental quality implemented. She used the lake's clarity as an example.
The Regional Plan Update includes incentives to move development from sensitive land to already developed areas as a way of stemming Lake Tahoe's historic clarity loss. The loss is largely attributed to development increasing the amount of nutrients and fine sediment reaching the lake.
"We think the policies we have in terms of land use will really go a long way," Regan said, adding "We're in a marathon, not a sprint."
Tuesday's letter also raises concerns about monitoring environmental progress and the possibility of allowing local governments greater control over planning. The release of a final water quality plan associated with the Regional Plan Update without a publicly reviewed draft is also a violation of TRPA's rules, as well as state and federal environmental laws, according to the letter.
Regan said she expected a the water quality plan to undergo public review at the Governing Board's meeting next month. The plan does not have the same requirements for public review as an Environmental Impact Statement, Regan said. The agency will continue to work with stakeholders on concerns as the Regional Plan Update heads toward approval over the next two months, Regan said.
The proposal has attracted widespread support, according to agency spokeswoman Kristi Boosman.
"There are very few people that are really against it at this point," Boosman said.
