Generic Name: albuterol/ipratropium (al-BUE-ter-ol/IP-ra-TROE-pee-um)
Brand Name: Combivent Respimat
Albuterol/ ipratropium spray is used for:
Treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in patients who require more than one bronchodilator.
Albuterol/ipratropium spray is a beta-adrenergic (sympathomimetic) and anticholinergic bronchodilator combination. It works by relaxing and widening the airways in the lungs, which helps you breathe more easily.
Do NOT use albuterol/ ipratropium spray if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in albuterol/ipratropium spray, or to atropine or similar medicines
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if this applies to you.
Before using albuterol/ ipratropium spray:
Some medical conditions may interact with albuterol/ipratropium spray. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of heart problems (eg, fast or irregular heartbeat), blood vessel problems, high blood pressure, or low blood potassium levels
- if you have a history of other lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma)
- if you have a history of thyroid problems, diabetes, seizures, liver or kidney problems, or an adrenal gland tumor (pheochromocytoma)
- if you have a history of an enlarged prostate, blockage or narrowing of the bladder, glaucoma, or increased pressure in the eye
- if you have had an unusual reaction to other sympathomimetic medicines (eg, pseudoephedrine), such as fast or irregular heartbeat, overexcitement, or severe trouble sleeping
- if you have taken linezolid, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine), or tricyclic antidepressant (eg, amitriptyline) within the last 14 days
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with albuterol/ipratropium spray. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because the risk of low blood potassium levels may be increased
- Anticholinergic medicines (eg, bromocriptine, scopolamine), linezolid, MAOIs (eg, phenelzine), other sympathomimetic bronchodilators (eg, pirbuterol, salmeterol), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because they may increase the risk of albuterol/ipratropium spray's side effects
- Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because they may decrease albuterol/ipratropium spray's effectiveness or worsen your condition
- Digoxin because its effectiveness may be decreased by albuterol/ipratropium spray

The 82-year-old invoked heritage and nostalgia by unveiling a fresh logo for
Now Mr Murdoch is relying on two lieutenants, who are poles apart in character, to continue the family legacy.
At the briefing on Tuesday, Mr Thomson pledged to be "relentless" in cutting costs, which will mostly come out of the structurally challenged newspapers in Australia, the US and Britain.
The executive charged with overseeing the cost-cutting in Australia, News Ltd chief executive
"The ad environment remains very challenged," Mr Williams said.
Pushing ahead
For the first time, Mr Williams outlined News' domestic strategy, which focuses on the three parts of the local operations: publishing, pay TV and online real estate. He said the three have "close symbiotic relationships".
Mr Williams is already pushing ahead with bundled subscription offers for its newspapers and Fox Sports. But the pay TV assets are showing signs of weakness amid consumer malaise. Foxtel's subscriber numbers are flat at 2.3 million and Fox Sports Australia's earnings have slid backwards for almost two years. News last week said it would write down the value of its publishing assets by up to $US1.4 billion, mostly due to Australian newspapers.
Mr Murdoch, who will be executive chairman of the new News Corp, reminded investors he had built one of the world's most successful media and entertainment conglomerates. Although some of the assets "have their individual challenges", he argued the newspapers "are undervalued and underdeveloped". "I am not saying I didn't make many mistakes along the way – even some spectacular ones," he conceded. "Why do it all over again? The simple answer, there is opportunity everywhere."
Rely on non-family executives
Although Mr Murdoch's sons James and Lachlan will be on the company's board (as well as that for the other company, 21st Century Fox), the ageing media titan has had to rely on non-family executives to continue the family publishing legacy.
Mr Murdoch said it was "pretty unlikely" that News Corp would be able to buy any newspapers in its existing markets.
Mr Williams said "weak government leadership" in Australia had created business uncertainty and depressed consumer confidence.
He expected a slow recovery after "a generally anticipated change of government" in the September federal election.

Aren't enterprises and other security-conscious organizations tired of bolting on single point solutions in hopes of solving many different security challenges? What if threats evolve quicker than they do? What if authenticators are compromised?
All this week at Entrust's Identity: Evolved booth, Entrust product marketing manager Mike Moir will explain the importance and flexibility of deploying a single software authentication platform to consolidate all identity and authentication management security.
Moir will also explore the importance of co-deployment to help ease the transition from outgoing legacy solutions to new authentication technology. This approach, coupled with comprehensive integration with other security vendors and solutions, helps enterprises evolve to the latest in authentication security without disrupting the day-to-day operations of the core business.
Here's a selection of Mike Moir's key points on the importance of using a platform-based approach for the next evolution of identity and authentication management:
- Provides the ability to adapt to changes to policy, threat vectors, industry news and more — all in real time
- Offers advanced deployment flexibility — including migration tools and co-deployment capabilities —to help organizations implement proper security based on their own terms, needs and budget
- Scales to fit the evolving security needs of any organization
- Offers innovative tools for mobile enablement, cloud management and advanced authentication (e.g., biometrics)
Want to learn more? Visit Mike at Booth 2615 to see his demonstration and learn how this approach could help your organization save money, increase ROI and, most important, bolster security against both internal and external threats.

How far do you run? How often do you run? What shoes are you using now? Are you flatfooted? Count on questions like these from the salespeople at Runner's Den. Selling you the right pair from the Den's vast selection is serious business to these clerks, most of whom are runners themselves. (One salesman has logged more than 100 marathons and teaches a community college class in marathon training.) These guys know the heartache (or leg-ache) that comes from shoe-related injuries, and don't want you to end up in, um, those shoes. They'll even make you do a test drive with an outdoor jog or a quick spin around the store. So runners, take your mark and lace your shoes.

A few years ago, Charles Nolan quietly opened his shop in the basement of the venerable Luhrs Central Building across from Patriots Square downtown. He had a concept -- the hippest men's shop in town, and that was about it. Advertising budget? Hardly. Neon signs? Not in this lifetime. Word of mouth? You betcha. These days, Charles -- who doesn't even have a phone in his downtown haberdashery -- counts several Phoenix Suns as regular customers, and his clientele is growing by the month, eager to buy his primo Italian suits, his slick shirts, his excellent selection of ties. But Charles isn't just a clotheshorse. A major league jazz fan, he collects CDs, then sells them to his customers for a mere 10 bucks apiece. Finding this gem of a store isn't easy. But once you find Charles in Suite M, around the bend from Tony's Barber Shop, you're in for quite a sartorial treat.

And check out the shop's "container fill" program, which allows you to design your own creation for the price of the wax. Plan to shop early during the holidays, as lines have been known to form at the door of these popular gift-buying destinations.
Although lots of ladies only shop for a new swimsuit once a year, foxy Phoenician women consider bikinis a year-round wardrobe staple. This shop on North Scottsdale Road has the most fun, edgiest collection in town, ranging from modern-day Gidget florals to the barest Brazilian string bikinis, from brands like Body Glove and Bebe. It's hard to pick just one style when you have to choose among satiny blue leopard, neon flames or sparkly camouflage prints. The prices are reasonable enough to leave you with cash to buy a Hawaiian-pattern wrap and some sequined flip-flops, too. If you're feeling exhibitionist, you can even find something suitable for prancing around like one of the babes next door at Babes Cabaret -- a lace and rhinestone g-string with a pair of black patent platform stiletto mules, the classic frilly maid's costume or the naughty plaid schoolgirl mini-kilt, complete with matching plaid thong.
Who gets a rush out of visiting a fabric store? At SAS, the answer is anybody looking for the thrill of a good bargain, the delight of an unexpected find or simply to supercharge the creative juices. Stocked to the rafters with discounted merchandise, this labyrinthine shop is like a candy store for aspiring fashion designers. Dig through bolts of satins and silks, twills and tweeds of every hue. Let your mind wander as you consider 50 different types of lace. Then ogle the incredible assortment of trimmings. Boxes of vintage-look buttons, rolls of shiny ribbons and mesh, barrels full of straight-outta-the-'70s embroidered patches, and various zippers and snaps are there to hook you. We dare you to walk out of the store without a single new idea for a project.

Research Description
At its most basic, our work studies how the chemical reactions of biology are organized within the cellular boundaries. Biological organization is both spatial (cellular architecture), and temporal (cellular dynamics). We are interested in how cellular organization is maintained and harnessed by the animal to generate distinct physiological outputs, and how changes in intracellular organization underlie pathophysiological conditions. more

Some schools which have had to set deficit budgets, through no fault of their own, feared their bids would be turned down.
The Liberal Democrats, who highlighted the problem, said the education secretary should make it clear the schools would not lose out.
Officials in the education department have done so - stressing that applications are assessed on their future plans not past performance.
There are currently 1,454 specialist schools in England, 46% of the total. The latest 245 took up their status this term.
Schools bidding for specialist status have to raise £50,000 in sponsorship and put together a four-year development plan for raising standards in all subjects.
Successful applicants receive a grant of £100,000 plus an extra £123 per pupil per year.
One school that is preparing an application is the Priory School in Orpington, Kent, a 1,500-student mixed comprehensive in the Bromley education authority.
It hopes to gain dual status as a business and sports specialist.
The associate head, Tim Pike, said it was between £200,000 and £300,000 short this year on the kind of funding it used to have.
It had formally asked Bromley for permission to set a deficit budget, which had been agreed verbally.
Cutting the teaching week to the recommended minimum of 24 hours, from its current 25, would save the equivalent of about three teachers over a year - about £80,000.
"But it takes time to work through, so it won't help us this year," he said.
Other savings could be made "but we are not prepared to be silly about it".
"Under the rules of specialist school status you cannot be in a deficit budget situation at the time you make the application.
"So we could find ourselves in a Catch-22 where obtaining the status would give us the extra money, at least in part, but we may have no chance of success."
Fears 'groundless'
The Liberal Democrats' education spokesman, Phil Willis, said: "This year hundreds of aspiring schools have been forced to set deficit budgets as a result of ministerial incompetence and may lose out on specialist status as a result.
"It is crucial that the secretary of state makes it clear that schools will not lose their bid for specialist school status and should continue with their applications."
But the Department for Education and Skills said the fears were groundless.
"Schools facing a budget deficit this year will in no way be disadvantaged in their bid for specialist status," a spokesperson said.
What the department took into account was a school's vision for its future and that of its local area.

1961. The Russian Navy's first nuclear sub sets off on its maiden voyage at the height of the Cold War. But disaster strikes as captain Vostrikov and his deputy Polenin clash, and a leaking reactor could trigger World War III.
Harrison Ford needs a slap. Harsh? Well, consider Exhibit A - he turned down The Sum Of All Fears for this drab sub thriller. Exhibit B - his tired, charmless and dodgily-accented performance, in which he looks less concerned with the fate of the world than with trying to squeeze out a close-quarters fart undetected. Clearly, drastic action is required to save our hero - next time, Harry, read the script before the cheque.
Yet even vintage Ford couldn't salvage K-19. The cramped sets suffocate Bigelow's signature visual flourishes, while it's staggering that a movie based on a true story can be so cliche-ridden (don't submariners know that a picture of a girlfriend equals a death warrant?) and, unforgivably, dull.
It's also interminable, dragging on and on. And then dragging on some more. While it's admirable to see an American blockbuster side with 'the enemy' - and there is one superb sequence involving an understandable act of cowardice - generally K-19 is dead in the water.
It's no U-571. Enough said.

Follow The Globe's SOCHI LIVE for the latest from the Winter Olympics.
First, a general observation about Mike Babcock's coaching style – NHL or international. Babcock always mixes and matches his lines. Right up until the end of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Babcock was tinkering with them until he got them just so. Sidney Crosby played with half-a-dozen wingers, until they finally settled on Jarome Iginla and Eric Staal in the gold-medal game. Jonathan Toews started way down the depth chart, but eventually was playing big minutes, a lot of them with Rick Nash and Mike Richards as a shutdown unit.
The point is, blending, adjusting, changing lines on the fly until the chemistry clicks was always going to be part of Canada's modus operandi. Of all the lines that Babcock has tried, only one – which came by accident – has more or less stuck together. That would be Toews centring Patrick Marleau and Jeff Carter. Of the 18 scoring points accumulated by Canada's forwards in this tournament, they have accounted for nine, with Marleau and Carter unexpectedly leading the pack with four points apiece.
Altogether, six of the 14 forwards haven't hit the score sheet yet (John Tavares, Rick Nash, Martin St. Louis, Matt Duchene, Patrick Sharp and Chris Kunitz), while three others have just one apiece. Crosby has two assists, as does Patrice Bergeron, while Ryan Getzlaf has three points.
But it isn't just Canada that is having trouble scoring. Only five players in the entire tournament have more than two – Carter and Canadian defenceman Drew Doughty, plus Austria's Michael Grabner (five), the United States' Phil Kessel (four) and Sweden's Erik Karlsson (three).
The reality is, playing hockey on the larger international sized ice surface has resulted in reduced body contact, fewer scoring chances overall, and a lot of idling in neutral. The only times a team has been able to score in bursts is when one of the lower-seeded teams has a lull, or confidence lapse. Generally speaking, the hockey has resembled a tournament-wide chess match, and the common watchword uttered by all teams is 'patience.'
"By forcing something, you're going to end up digging the puck out of your net, because you're forcing something that's not there," explained Crosby Monday morning, during player availability at the Bolshoy Arena.
"There's a balance between taking what's given to you and still making sure that you're going after them and not sitting back and playing the same. I think we know the difference between the two, and I think we've done a really good job of going after them, but still not taking unnecessary risks to do that."
Canada won all three games in the first round, outscoring their opponents 11-3.
But according to Crosby, "I think that nobody's going to remember what the scores were in the round-robin games, to be honest with you. I couldn't tell you what the scores were in Vancouver, or Torino, or Salt Lake. So ultimately, it's what we do from here on in. That's the most important part."
Canada's next opponent will either be Switzerland or Latvia and though most expect the Swiss to advance, it is not a certainty. The two teams met in the preliminary round, with Switzerland pulling out a 1-0 victory in the final 10 seconds of regulation. Canada has played Switzerland in each of the last two Olympics, and both games have been tight. Switzerland won on the strength of Martin Gerber's goaltending in Turin and Canada turned the tables on them, winning in a shootout in the preliminary round in Vancouver. In that game, Crosby had a chance to shoot twice in the shootout, not quite the six attempts that the USA's T.J. Oshie had in Saturday's game against Russia.
Canada has the former Swiss national coach Ralph Krueger on its staff for this tournament and Krueger will undoubtedly present a tactical briefing beforehand if the two teams ultimately do meet.
Thus far, Duchene, Sharp and St. Louis have each sat out one game and Babcock hinted Sunday night that he would shift the forward lineup again for Wednesday's quarter-final match. However, don't expect any changes on the blueline, where Babcock is more than satisfied with what he's seen so far.
"We've got three really good pairs," he said. "I'll be honest with you, (Dan) Hamhuis and P.K. (Subban) haven't got much of a chance. I mean the pairs are good. There hasn't been any changing of players there just because they've been real solid.''
For his part, Crosby does not believe his revolving cast of linemates is an issue. Against Finland, Babcock tried him with Patrice Bergeron and Jamie Benn. Crosby and Bergeron have previously played together in both a world junior tournament and an Olympics.
"The challenge is to try to play to your best," said Bergeron. "He's obviously the best player in the world. It's about trying to find him when he's open, but also it's getting open for yourself, not just trying to feed him. He's a smart enough player to get open and see the right area to go to. I'm trying to do the same thing as well so he has some options."
Nash added this about Crosby: "He's a tough guy to keep up with, he's so fast. The way he thinks about the game seems like it's far beyond everyone else's process.
"It's the same thing in the last Olympics, keep shuffling around until you found something that fits. The great thing about being a player is you don't have to worry about that stuff. We have Mike (Babcock) to make those decisions."
So is playing with different linemates almost every day a challenge?
"No, I think it doesn't really change how you play or what you do out there," Crosby said. "I think you're always aware of who you're playing with, and what their strengths are, but I don't think it changes what you do out there. I don't think you really have a chance to over think too much. As far as what you're doing individually, it's more your game plan as a team is what's going through your mind, rather than who you're necessarily playing with. All the guys here are so good, I think you can just read off each other, no matter who you're playing with."
Six of the 11 Canadian goals have come from defencemen Doughty and Shea Weber. But when Babcock was asked if the rest of the players needed to elevate their play to Doughty's level, he answered: ``I think they are playing at a pretty high level. The teams we're playing against are good, they're playing hard. To me, just keep playing and find a way to do what you do to help your team. Doughty scored the goals last night, but the team won.
"That's what we care about. The team won. It doesn't matter if that was Sid or Toews or Weber, no one cares.''

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/12/2012 (1680 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Cowardly act
As a full-time student at Brandon University I am outraged that it is mandatory for all students to pay a $35 fee per semester to use the new Healthy Living Centre. I have only entered the old gym to write finals and will never use the Healthy Living Centre to regain my $35. Why should all students have to pay for the equipment that will mostly be used by the university Bobcats players? This is a sheepish act by the university especially because most students were informed by email on Nov. 30 telling them that the fees would be added to their account on Dec. 3.
Constantly wanting more
Just bought a new house for around $237,000 and paid $2,674 in land transfer tax and $7,280 in GST. That's a total of $9,954, and that's a small home! Plus the province still wants another five per cent on almost everything I buy in Manitoba. I saw in the paper the other day that the government still had a debit of just over $437 million from last year. I ask you, when is this government going to balance the books? It's the NDP way ... just spend, spend, spend and mortgage my great grandchild's future!
The right to go free?
I guess if you are an aboriginal and have a lasting impact of European colonization, it doesn't matter what crime you commit — especially 'horrific' ones — you are free to go and do no time. For one, I'm sick of all the excuses.
Start your own fundraising like others have done
Now that the Murray House has completed raising funds they can start building and not have to wait for government handouts. When is the Strand going to get off their butts and start raising funds and demonstrate to the provincial and federal government that they have raised a good precentage of the required funds themselves. So far, they have done nothing that I have heard of in raising the necessary funds themselves. The federal government should turn them down again when they submit their request.
Bylaws need to be enforced
Yes, the law is the law and our city council and police force should be enforcing it when it comes to our "bylaws." It just shows our council have no intention of ordering enforcement, they just enjoy passing bylaws, it makes them look busy. Our garbage bin bylaw, and many more, need to be enforced by council ordering them to be enforced.
Well, back in the day
I think that the discussion on the F-35 could be somewhat like the discussion that might have taken place in 1949. "Should we purchase these expensive new-fangled jet planes or the latest versions of the Spitfire?" We know how to work on them and we know how to fly them. The F-35 makes all other planes, with the exception of the F-22, obsolete.
Let's be a little more realistic
Regarding percentage wage hikes. As the annual wages are very high and increases seem to run around the two per cent mark for those who think with a sound mind. The percentage raises increase the difference between the top and the bottom staff which is not fair, as the bottom personnel cost of living is the same as the top personnel. As the city employees make what most taxpayers believe is a fair wage let's try and keep the increases more in line to what we can afford. Perhaps the unions could meet us half way and only hold out one hand instead of both hands.
Let's get the facts straight
I personally remember Henry Champ in his youth. I do not remember him being a remarkable athlete. At best he was a mediocre player in the old YMCA league. I do not dispute his outstanding career as a renowned journalist. Indeed in this area he was "remarkable." If the truth were told "the old BU gym" is being named after him posthumously because of his role as chancellor and his worldwide visibility as a foreign correspondent.
Can't pay the fine
I know if you break the law you must do the time or pay the fine, but is the fine system fair? A person who makes $25-$40 a hour has little trouble paying off a $100 fine, the person who earns minimum wage has a tough time with this system, as we all know these people need all the help they can get to provide food and shelter for themselves and their family.
Karma will get you
Regarding puppies left at the side of the road. I, too, am sickened by the cruelty exhibited by the people who left the puppies by the side of the road. If you can throw out animals by the side of the road, why can you not leave them outside the Humane Society or a vet clinic? The only thing that comforts me is what goes around comes around. It may take a while, but it will happen.
Family room missing
I was disappointed to see that two years ago when I was on the palliative care ward at the hospital that there was a family room furnished with donations from previous families and patients. I was recently there to visit and this family room has been removed and is now an office. I think that is very unfortunate. Now there is nowhere for families to get away for a few moments or to talk to the doctors or whatever is necessary. Plus, where did all this stuff that was donated go?
Appreciate people being so honest
I would like to sincerely thank the person who turned in my purse from the shopping cart from the south end Sobey's on Dec. 11 in the afternoon. I am so appreciative and can't thank you enough.
Turn down the volume
In the Dec. 13 paper on page A5 there was an article entitled, "Health Canada Reminds You To Turn Down Volume To Protect Your Hearing." Maybe the Keystone Centre and the Brandon Wheat Kings should give it a read and do something about that loud music they play at the hockey games. They wouldn't like to work in that noise so perhaps if they turned it down a bit they might get more people out to the hockey games.

1990 Toyota Camry (7 Reviews)
Just bought car 11 months ago I enjoy every bit of it. It does have little rust around wheel wheels but a wonderful car with 221,000 miles. I got clutch installed plus change out spark plugs etc. This little car runs well finally pass inspection one thing dislike about this car be electric seatbelts but has electric windows, locks, am/fm cassette player, security/alarm and keyless entry. Starts up right away no issues I see distributor cap might needs fixing after while but so far my Camry has been very flawless it looks decent on age it is but truly the most dependable car I have ever had.
bought in 2012 with 240K miles for $900. Previous owner put new brake lines all-around. exhaust hole behind convertor only current must fix. AC doesn't work -- not sure if compressor or freon. interior holds up great - doesn't look 22 yrs old! lots of rust over wheel wells. engine is strong and A/T shifts smooth.
I am a big fan of Camrys
bought my 1990 camry nov. 2006 payed 350.00 for ir from a nice sweet lady in new jersey and she had driven the car from indiana. it had 100k plus miles when i got it and it has 252k now. my everyday run around car it stays on the highway 2.0 4cyl get 400 miles to the tank highway. in the 4 years i had my baby ive gotten a water pump timing belt change total 350.00 , the tranny went 2 years ago total 450.00 labor and tranny, starter 150.00 total, front axle both sides 300.00 total (mechanic who did work did terrible job so i have to get the work done all over), and the basic wear and tear etc...so i can say i have about 1500-1800.00 invested in 4 years and she still rides smooth. just need to fix AC, replace front windshield and get front axle fixed...trying to get 500k on my baby...
I just bought this car for my mom from a co-worker for $800. Great car everything is in perfect operating order lol well except for the part were it has 293,467 miles on it. the car still runs perfect feels great and drives smooth as a caddy. And after all those miles it had its first fluid leak going to look at it on my day off work. Its more impressive than my 89 cougar ls that im halfing to work on every month, JDM vehicles rock!!!
i payed 400 dollars for a 1990 Toyota Camry Le and it runs great!!!!!
Car has been well taken care of, but has some major issues at 100k miles. Bad engine knocking, steering problems, and exhaust noise.

This is the first time ordering this product for our 20+ hour flight from Asia for my 2 year old and if I could give this product zero stars I would! We ordered the oatmeal variety and as soon as you opened the package in the airplane there was a terrible chemical smell which I thought couldn't possibly be the cookies! My son thankfully took a nibble and proceeded to almost vomit on our flight. My husband tried one and said they were rancid. Very disappointed and will not purchase again! Buyers beware! I would return but am all the way in Asia.

Tahoe area ski resorts to open early
November 16, 2012
Season pass information
Lake Tahoe ski resorts
Resorts have a number of packages based on the age of the buyer, the amount of holiday days blacked out or available or the amount of ski resorts a consumer wants to access. The best way to get answers to specific questions regarding season pass deals is to head to the website of the resort you are interested. The following is a run-down intended to provide general guidelines for resort prices for the upcoming season.
The big news in the offseason, was Vail Resorts further push into California with the purchase of Kirkwood. Consumers can buy and Epic Pass at $699 (ages 13 and up), which provides access to Northstar, Kirkwood, Heavenly and five Vail-owned resorts in Colorado or they can choose the Tahoe Local Pass for $459 which provides access to the three California resorts. The prices are only available through Sunday, Nov. 18.
In an interesting season pass deal, the two resorts owned by Colorado-based KSL Capital, Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, have teamed up with Sierra-at-Tahoe to offer passholders access to all three mountains at one price. Adults can pay for $749 for unlimited access to all three resorts, or $519 for limited access and $429 for restricted access.
At Sugar Bowl, adults can pay $899 for unlimited access, $629 for access aside from holiday dates and $529 for non-holiday access aside from Saturday. Discounts are available for individuals that are renewing passes.
For Homewood Ski Resort, adults will pay $399 for the regular season pass.
Mt. Rose is charging $427 for a regular adult season pass. Diamond Peak is charging $449.
Prices vary according to a variety of factors so readers are encouraged to visit the websites of each resort to find further deals and price points.
Last ski season, if it can even be called that, did not witness a substantial amount of snow drop on the Lake Tahoe ski resorts until Valentine's Day.
Those in the ski industry
will point out that once snow came in mid-February, it did not stop until early May, making March and April replete with powder days.
But those in what ski resorts call the "drive-up market" — residents of the Bay Area, Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada foothills — have typically moved onto other recreational activities by the late spring, said Jennie Bartlett, a spokeswoman with Sugar Bowl Ski Resort.
This year, the precipitation has hit early and often, causing many ski resorts to open early and others to strongly consider it.
"(The early snow) has done wonders for getting skiers and snowboarders excited about the upcoming season," said Paul Raymore, spokesman for Homewood Ski Resort.
"The new snow and cold temperatures mean all the Tahoe resorts are making a concerted effort to open as soon as possible."
Northstar-at-Tahoe and Heavenly Mountain Resort, both owned by Vail Resorts, have already opened their gates, moving their opening day up to Nov. 14.
The resorts had originally planned to open Friday.
Kirkwood, purchased by Vail Resorts in February, will open Friday.
"With the recent snowfall and incredibly cold temperatures we've been experiencing … our two resorts are opening early," said Jessica VanPernis in an email.
Sugar Bowl, which is the nearest major resort to western Nevada County, will begin spinning the ski lifts Saturday.
"As diehard skiers and riders, the starting line is a beautiful thing … filled with the anticipation of deep powder days, high-speed corduroy cruisers, solitary tree runs and the undeniable, alluring and utterly compelling beauty of winter in the mountains," wrote John Monson, spokesman for Sugar Bowl, on the resort's website.
Last year, Sugar Bowl opened briefly in November but had to wait until mid-December until operations began in full force, and even then, the entire resort was not open, Monson said.
"Obviously, we are off to a way better start," Monson said.
Squaw Valley also pushed its opening date up, as preliminary plans call for the resort to open Friday.
Alpine Meadows, which is owned by the same company as Squaw Valley, has tentatively scheduled its opening date for Dec. 7.
However, an earlier start date is possible, said Jenny Kendrick, Alpine spokeswoman.
Homewood Ski Resort still plans to open Dec. 14, but serious consideration is being given to moving up the opening date, Raymore said.
Sierra-at-Tahoe has plans to open Nov. 22.
Mt. Rose Ski Resort in Nevada has yet to announce an opening date, and nearby Diamond Peak plans to open Dec. 13.

Our cockroaches seem in need of cane toad DNA

After watching Queensland's sterling win in State of Origin I, my advice to NSW selectors is quite simple: CLONE A MAROON. The whole bloody team, in fact.
Tom Henderson, Urunga
In the State of Origin, both Queensland and NSW got the ball over the try line in dubious circumstances. Despite numerous replays from every angle it was impossible to tell in either case whether a legal try had been scored. However, Queensland received the benefit of the doubt pursuant to a recent rule innovation and NSW did not. Anyone else confused by this inconsistency? I think it's easier to just go back to not caring about league.
David Talintyre, Allambie Heights
What a game! It had everything. Unbelievable skills, drama, free scoring, deadlock, extra-time, exhilaration and despair - all watched by millions of fans. Can anyone tell me what happened in the NSW v Queensland gruntball?
Paul Stevens, Chatswood
Go the mighty Maroons!
Eddie Raggett, Mosman
I wonder if Cronulla coach Stuart Raper still thinks Brett Kimmorley is the best halfback in the world after Wednesday night's ordinary performance.
John Stuart, Thirlmere
I enjoy watching sport on TV just like anyone else and if there was further reason for me to dump free-to-air TV and subscribe to pay TV, it would be Channel Nine. Why? Well, when I choose to watch a show I expect to see the entire picture on my TV screen. Channel Nine, in all its wisdom, has decided to not only take up half the screen with pointless advertising but to do so in the middle of the State of Origin! To say it tarnishes the image of Origin is an understatement. I don't watch sporting events to see what lame TV show will be coming up. I watch the event because of the event! Please, Channel Nine, stop taking the public for granted.
Andrew Arkapaw, Balgownie
State of Origin I was an excellent match. However, referee Simpkins, the linesmen and Channel Eddie commentators all need optical assistance. Had the NSW forward passes been detected, Queensland would have won by double figures. The fact is a draw, under the old system, would have favoured NSW this year (being last year's series winners), but the poetic justice result in "golden point" would have pleased Queensland supporters. Now NSW have to win the next two matches, whereas previously only one win would have retained the trophy.
Sam Clough, Cessnock
Who would have thought rugby league's jewel could be decided by penalty and field goals?
Stephen Dowse, Turramurra
You'd think that, as an experienced broadcaster of sports, the Nine network would be very professional in its telecasts of the rugby league flagship, the State of Origin. Unfortunately, though, they treat their viewers like idiots. Why would you take a commercial break after the conversion kick and have the viewer miss part of the first set of plays following the restart? They finally woke up in the second half that there was adequate time BEFORE the conversion goal attempt to show the commercial without missing any actual play. Why then and not from the outset? Why do we need to be subjected to a half-screen blackout of the game for a dubious promotion of man-of-the-match voting by SMS or costly telephone call, on at least eight occasions for an annoyingly long period of time, often during play? You tell me, director! Why are we subjected to close-up camera shots of players and coaches sitting on the bench or standing on the sideline whilst the game is in progress? I sit down to watch the play, not the faces of the players who are not in the game. Save me! If they're not careful, they'll lose viewers en masse as a result of their crass lack of professionalism. We can thank our lucky stars that SBS is telecasting the Ashes Tests.
Peter Singh, Dubbo
Two words. Craig Gower.
Michael Tchakalian, ACT
Why do Channel Nine insist on showing ads during the State of Origin match, ensuring we miss several passages of play? Is there anyone out there who never heard of AAMI? For God's sake it's plastered all over the ground, the uniforms, the flags, the pitch
Jeremy Brender, Kensington
All the best
In Australia we pride ourselves on our fair-mindedness. It is with this generosity of spirit that I wish the Canterbury Crusaders of New Zealand all the best in their clash with the NSW Waratahs for the Super 12 rugby union crown.

The action-packed weekend following the win against West Chester continued as the Bullets traveled to Wyomissing, PA to take on divisional rival Kutztown University. Last season Gettysburg split with the Golden Bears and this season saw they had had some early success only losing one conference game to TCNJ. The only other piece of scouting the Bullets heard about Kutztown from almost every coach they spoke with was that they were very physical, almost too physical. So the Bullets had to be ready for a rough game.
In repeat fashion of the night before, off the opening faceoff the Bullets drove down in to the Kutztown zone and on the forecheck, sophomore Zak Kennedy intercepted a breakout pass and turned a backhand, sniping it to the top corner, just :16 seconds in to the game. This caught Kutztown by surprise and after this initial goal both teams settled down. Well, settled as much as this game would settle. The scouting report held true and Kutztown tried to control the game with a very physical game plan. The referee decided to allow the game to continue and only two penalties were called in the first period so Gettysburg had to keep their cool and simply put numbers on the scoreboard. Despite only having four defensemen on this trip the Bullets defense stood strong throughout, including where it counted, between the pipes, as sophomore Jon Lipshutz held the Golden Bears scoreless in the first.
Early in the second the Bullets looked to extend their lead on a powerplay, but a blocked shot from the point led to a Kutztown breakaway that they were able to put past Lipshutz. Off the ensuing faceoff, Gettysburg struck back with a goal of their own while still on the powerplay, senior captain Niall Hines buried a shot to take the lead once again. Kutztown's physical play continued but it worked out to Gettysburg's favor as they were once again on the powerplay. Hines once again had the puck but fed it to junior Hunter Yale and even though Yale mishandled it the puck, he dove and poked the puck to sophomore Bobby MacDonald who buried his chance giving the Bullets a 3-1 lead. Late in the period Gburg was once again on the powerplay and it was Yale again who took a faceoff from the Bullet's zone and blew past the Kutztown defense and drove hard to the net and scored, drawing another penalty in the process.
Gburg now held a 4-1 lead heading in to the final period. But as history has proven this year, no lead is safe in this conference and the Bullets needed to finish strong. Early on the Bullets were shorthanded and Kutztown was able to tip a shot past Lipshutz to pull within two goals. But unlike the Muhlenberg game, the Bullets did not lose focus and continued to stick to their game plan. This included the four defensemen continuing to be strong and Lipshutz continuing to stand tall in net. Late in the period the defense's hard work culminated as sophomore defenseman Adam Jacobs received a pass from sophomore Mike Berestecky and went in one-on-one against the Kutztown goaltender and finished with a nice deke giving the Bullets a commanding 6-2 lead. Kutztown was able to put one final goal past Lipshutz in the final minute but the damage was done and Gettysburg rolled to their 11th win in a row. Lipshutz was great on the night stopping 33 shots.
Gettysburg now has a commanding lead in the conference as they remain undefeated with a 10-0-0 record. Now the Bullets take a brief break from their conference schedule as they head down south for an ACC tournament hosted by UNC.

17-year-old shoots a 65 to tie for Day One lead
Finishing tied for 20th at Q-School in December earned South Korea's Si Woo Kim his PGA Tour card. Just one problem: He's not old enough to use it.
Because Kim doesn't turn 18 until June 28, he is barred from automatic entry. The only way to get into tournaments is through sponsor's exemptions or Monday qualifiers.
Shooting a 66 at Northwest Golf Course was Kim's route to the Mid-Atlantic Championship. Thursday at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Kim continued his hot play on a much more difficult course, shooting a 5-under 65 to tie for the lead with PGA Tour veteran Tim Petrovic.
Petrovic, 46, joked that when he was 17, the highlight of his year was playing in the Greater Hartford Open and getting his picture taken with two Masters champions -- Craig Stadler and Ben Crenshaw.
"That's what I was doing when I was 17," Petrovic said with a smile.
Before this week, Kim had received sponsor's exemptions to two PGA Tour events and Monday qualified for two other Web.com tournaments. But Thursday was the first time Kim ever broke 70 on either tour. Now, barring disaster on Friday, he will make his first cut as a professional.
On the course that played the second toughest on the Web.com Tour last year, Kim cruised his way around with six birdies and one bogey. He missed just one fairway, birdied both par-5s in routine fashion and finished with a stylish birdie, ripping an 8-iron tee-shot to the 201-yard downhill 9th green and then making the 6-foot putt.
"I was able to hit a lot of greens and attack pins," Kim said through Web.com Tour player and fellow South Korean Bio Kim, who served as interpreter. "I don't feel like I'm that great of a putter. I felt like I could have made a lot [more] putts."
Kim played in the morning, avoiding some of the oppressive humidity and 90-degree heat until a mid-afternoon shower cooled off the course, followed by a one-hour delay due to the threat of lightning.
Kim, a solidly-built 5-foot-9, 182-pounder, said Thursday that when he entered the PGA Tour Qualifying tournament last fall, he was unaware of the age restriction, only learning of it after the third round of the final stage.
"I probably would have tried it even if I found out there was an age issue," Kim said. "I don't think it's unfair. I was just a little disappointed to find it out later."
Call it the Ty Tryon rule. In 2001, the North Carolina teen became the youngest player in history to make the tour via Q-School. He signed a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with equipment manufacturer Callaway but failed miserably, making the cut in only five of 27 PGA events the next two years, becoming a cautionary tale before his 20th birthday.
It remains to be seen whether Kim is making the same mistake. After Q-School, he moved with his parents from Seoul to Fullerton, Calif., and essentially became a full-time golfer. He said he has yet to get his high school diploma.
Thursday at Avenel, however, Kim made the grade.

Deborah Turner with commemorative plaque for Wheely Willy in ACS's Memorial Garden. Photo courtesy of Deborah Turner.
2:36pm | In December 2009, book and animal lovers, both sound of body and with disabilities, lost a brave little soul whose spirit made him a hero.
Wheely Willy was a Chihuahua who was found as a puppy in a garbage can with both legs useless; nevertheless, he trotted quickly to fame with the help of a specially made wheelchair and lived to the impressive age of 22. If you're not familiar with the series of books that his mom, Deborah Turner, wrote about him or haven't seen him in action on Discovery Channel's "Animal Planet" or in classrooms helping to teach humane education, click here for his full story.
On July 10, Willy's memorial plaque was officially unveiled at the Memorial Garden at Long Beach Animal Care Services. Comedienne Lynda Montgomery and former Friends of Long Beach Animals President Shirley Vaughan, also an ACS employee, emcee'd the show. Montgomery said she "knew Willy before he was a celebrity" and talked about the little dog's climb to fame, which wasn't as hard as it might have seemed, wheels notwithstanding.
"As you remember, it was raining that day — God was crying," Montgomery said, recalling the memorial held for him in January last year.
The plaque was ordered from a company that the ACS staff had found several years ago at the Orange County Swap Meet — no one could remember the name of the place, but if you like the look of the stone, go to the Orange County Fairgrounds on Saturday or Sunday and walk until you see a booth with a lot of pebbles made into designs. It will be installed next to the two stones created for the deceased Animal Care Services mascots.
"Willy wasn't a mascot, but he was an ambassador for shelter animals," Vaughan said.
Turner gave a quavering thanks to the guests for their presence, love and support.
"Willy made me understand that there are good people in the world," she said.
Isn't she gorgeous? She was found running around in the rescuer's neighborhood. As above, she had not been fixed and of course had no tags or microchip. She's about a year old and is ready to be spayed.

People bar in the Love Shack on Second Street; they're welcome, too!
Love Shack in Belmont Shore — Bring Your V.I.Pooch
Attracted by a neat-looking pair of flip-flops, Kate walked for the first time into the Love Shack (5001 E. Second St., where the former 5001 stopped being venerable a few months ago) and found not only that the flip-flops sold for a more-than-reasonable 10 bucks and that there was a huge selection of stuff that she could indulge in — later — but also that there is a pet bar in front of the store that offers various goodies to waiting doggies who were dragged in by their (mostly) moms. This should be little surprise to those who know owner Roberta Bayrhoffer, who also owns Bungalow Bay and also is a generous lover of animals. There's a little people café as well, with coffee (you're looking at it), but you know who comes first with us.
More Beat-the-Heat Tips
Our last article addressed summer issues in pet care. Shae Sneed from Progressive Insurance (which has pet policies) adds these for Long Beach boaters:
• Do a little research Call to make sure that wherever you're heading allows pets and ask about their policies, as many require that you keep them on a leash and don't leave them alone. Also, check with your boat insurance company to see if your pets are protected.
• Assist their doggie paddle Fit your pets with a personal flotation device or life jacket. Find one with a lifting handle to make it easy and safe to lift your pets from the water. Give them time on land to get used to wearing the device.
• Help them get their sea legs Gradually introduce your pets to your boat and the water. Give them a chance to explore their surroundings while the boat is docked. Turn on the engine so they get accustomed to its sound, smell and feel. Take short cruises and gradually build up to longer trips.
• Combat the sun Protect your pets from the heat by providing shade and plenty of water. Wash the deck with cool water to protect their paws.
For lots more tips, click here . Thank you, Shae!
