Excessive Heat Warnings remain in effect across the California'sCentral Valley and much of the Desert Southwest......A couple rounds of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall possibleacross portions of the Central Plains toward the Mid-Mississippi ValleyFriday and Saturday...A strong upper-level ridge associated with the ongoing heat wave over theSouthwest is forecast to reach its peak intensity today (Thursday) beforesliding off slowly toward the southern Plains during the next couple ofdays.  Widespread high and low temperature records being tied or brokenbetween California Nevada and Arizona today will expand a bit northwardinto Oregon and Washington on Friday and Saturday.  Highs in the 90s and100s followed by lows ranging from the upper 50s to mid 70s will lower bya couple of degrees each day.  HeatRisk will peak between Major andExtreme today for much of the West, with California's Central Valley andthe Desert Southwest being of particular concern due to their lowerelevations and some urban areas.  Little to no overnight relief from theheat will affect those without effective cooling and/or adequatehydration.Mid-level energy propagating through the Florida peninsula will supportscattered thunderstorms that may become severe this evening.  Meanwhile, acouple days of Major to Extreme Heat Risk, particularly over urban areasare forecast for the southern half of the peninsula. Several high and lowtemperature records may be tied or broken on Friday and Saturday.Showers and thunderstorms will develop along a cold front moving acrossthe East Coast today. Locally heavy rainfall may occur over portions ofthe Interior Northeast and southern New England into the evening. Thingsmostly clear out across the East Coast on Friday, save for parts ofnorthern/central New England where some light showers and an isolatedthunderstorm will be possible.  A lingering upper-level low will keeptemperatures cooler than normal across the northern tier states along withwindy conditions into the weekend.  The associated instability will alsosupport occasional showers across the Great Lakes for the next couple ofdays.We shift our attention to the Central U.S. on Friday as a low pressuresystem emerges from the Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms are expected todevelop across the Central Plains and move generally east toward theMid-Mississippi Valley as organized clusters of thunderstorms that day.The Storm Prediction Center issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of SevereThunderstorms across south-central Nebraska into northern Kansas due tothe potential of damaging wind gusts and some hail. Excessive Rainfall will be more likely farther downstream from eastern Kansas into westernMissouri.  By Saturday, the thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected topush farther southeast toward the mid-Mississippi Valley when colder airfrom the northern Plains begins to edge southward.  The best chance forthese storms to develop will be from Friday afternoon into the eveningfrom eastern Oklahoma to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.

A $12 billion passenger bullet train linking Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area was dubbed the first true high-speed rail line in the nation, with a private company called Brightline West building it, and predicting millions of ticket-buyers will be boarding trains by 2028. Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, cited Biden administration support for the project that he said will bring thousands of union jobs, boost local economies, and cut traffic and air pollution. Company officials say the goal is to have trains exceeding speeds of 186 mph (300 kph)—comparable to Japan's Shinkansen bullet trains—operating in time for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. Brightline West, whose sister company already operates a fast train between Miami and Orlando in Florida, aims to link U.S. cities that are too near each other for air travel to make sense and too far for people to drive. Las Vegas has no Amtrak service. The idea of a bullet train to Los Angeles dates back decades under various names including DesertXpress. Brightline West acquired the project in 2019, and company and public officials say it has all required right-of-way and environmental approvals, along with labor agreements. Brightline received Biden administration backing including a $3 billion grant from federal infrastructure funds and recent approval to sell another $2.5 billion in tax-exempt bonds. The company won federal authorization in 2020 to sell $1 billion in similar bonds. Brightline West says electric-powered trains will cut the four-hour trip across the Mojave Desert to a little more than two hours. It projects 11 million one-way passengers per year, with fares that Wes Eden, Brightline founder, said will be comparable to airline ticket costs. The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and the option to check luggage. Officials hope the train line will relieve congestion on I-15, where drivers often sit in miles of crawling traffic while returning home to Southern California from a Las Vegas weekend. An average of more than 44,000 automobiles per day crossed the California-Nevada state line on I-15 in 2023, according to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority data.

Rose trailmaps on skimap.org.Why I interviewed himThere's something so damn dramatic about skiing around Tahoe. The lake, yes, but it's also the Sierra Nevada, heaving and brutal, pitched as though crafted for skiing, evergreens loper-spaced apart. It's the snow, piled like pizza boxes in a hoarder's apartment, ever-higher, too much to count or comprehend (well, some years). It's the density, the always knowing that, like some American Alps, there is always another ski center past the one you're riding and the one you can see from there and the one you can see beyond that.Mt. Rose is one of just three Tahoe ski areas that sits fully on the Nevada side of the lake (the other two are Diamond Peak and Sky Tavern; Heavenly straddles the California-Nevada border). That whole Nevada thing can sap some of the Tahoe mystique. What is Nevada, after all, to most of us, but desert, dry, wide-open, and empty? I once slipped into a hallucinogenic state of borderline psychosis on a 122-degree drive Vegas-bound across Interstate 15. I was dead sober but sleep-deprived and in a truck with no air-conditioning the rippling distances tore my soul into potpourri and scattered it about the alien planet I became convinced I was crossing.But Nevada is a ski state, and Mt. Rose is its finest ski area. As the truest locals' bump on the block, it is a crucial piece of the Tahoe Zeitgeist, the place that tourists don't bother with, and that locals bother with specifically because of that fact.There are a handful of communities in America that count as their home bump a big, thrilling ski area that is not also a major tourist attraction. Bogus Basin, outside of Boise; Mt. Spokane, Washington; Montana Snowbowl, looming over Missoula. Where you can mainline the big-mountain experience sans the enervation of crowds. Mt. Rose is one of those places, a good, big ski area without all the overwhelm we've come to associate with them.What we talked aboutEarly-season openings; assessing the Lakeview chairlift upgrade after year one; why Mt. Rose doesn't operate into May; extending the ski day after Daylight Savings; could night skiing ever work at Mt. Rose?; living through 668 inches of snow; Ober Mountain; the upside of starting your career at a small ski area; the brilliance of Peak Resorts; where Vail went right and wrong in their acquisition of Peak; the existential challenges of Paoli Peaks; the Very Bad 2021-22 ski season at Attitash; fortress mentality; convincing Vail to upgrade the Attitash Summit Triple; what Gavrilets found when he showed up at Mt. Rose on Saturday of President's Weekend; how the Busers built Mt. Rose into a first-rate ski area; why the family considered selling Mt. Rose around 2017, and ultimately reversed course; committed to independence; “We're over $100 cheaper than Palisades for a full-day lift ticket”; how Slide Mountain, Mt. Rose, and Sky Tavern settled into their modern footprints; Mt. Rose's potential expansion; whether a ski connection between Sky Tavern and Mt. Rose could exist; future lift upgrade priorities; how The Chutes changed Mt. Rose's profile; slopeside lodging; destination potential?; the potential for a tram up to the ski area from Reno; and why Mt. Rose hasn't joined any multi-mountain passes.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewFew ski areas have more aggressively modernized since the turn of the century than Mt. Rose. The mountain dropped its first sixer (Northwest Express), in the ground in 2000, and opened its second (Zephyr), the year it opened The Chutes, one of the most singular terrain pods in the American West. In the intervening years, Rose has shuffled around and modernized the remainder of its lifts, and last year dropped a high-speed quad in place of the old Lakeview triple. The snowmaking system is one of the best in Tahoe. Next up: an expansion across the highway to intermediate terrain that would hang over Sky Tavern.Like Arapahoe Basin, whose oldest chairlift is a 2007 Leitner-Poma fixed-grip quad, Mt. Rose has quietly modernized amid the giants that were destined to destroy it. This isn't supposed to be the story. The story is supposed to be Corporate Conglomerates Are Killing Skiing!!! But they're not. Mt. Rose proves that in Tahoe like A-Basin proves it on the I-70 mainline.Skiers in Reno could easily drive up to Northstar or Heavenly or Palisades Tahoe. But Gavrilets tells us that Mt. Rose is doing better than ever, in spite of the fact that the ski area has no slopeside lodging, no megapass affiliation, and no name recognition outside of a couple-hundred mile radius. Why do you suppose that is?Mt. Rose is a counterintuitive case-study in why so many assumptions about modern skiing are wrong. A place in the market exists for a family-owned and -operated ski area that focuses on delivering a good product at an inflation-adjusted price that would not make a time traveler from 1965 gasp with horror “But that costs more than my car!”I can't always tell you what's wrong with skiing, but I usually know what's right when I see it. And just about everything that Mt. Rose is doing feels exactly right.What I got wrongI mispronounced the name of Mt. Rose's owners, pronouncing “Buser” like “Bus-er” (wrong), rather than “Boozer” (right).Why you should ski Mt. RoseWell there are The Chutes:And all the beefcake lifts:And the 30-minute drive from the airport, meaning that when you fly in to ski Palisades or Heavenly, you can stop and clock a half day at Mt. Rose for $69:And the manageable liftlines, and the parking right at the base of the lifts, and the 350 inches of average annual snowfall. This may not be your ski Narnia, your endless empty, but it's a less-frantic version of whatever they have down the road.Podcast NotesOn three ski areas that were once one ski area that are now two ski areasLift-served skiing on Mt. Rose started with a chairlift strung up from what is now Sky Tavern ski area to what is now the Slide Bowl area of Mt. Rose:Mt. Rose broke off from the lower-mountain area by the time it opened as a separate entity in 1964. The lower-mountain became a non-profit, volunteer-run, learn-to-ski center called Sky Tavern, which continues to operate today:The larger ski area's modern-day footprint was, for several decades, two separate ski areas – one on the Slide Peak terrain and another in Mt. Rose proper:They combined in the late ‘80s:Then, in 2004, The Chutes opened, giving us the Mt. Rose we can ski today:On Ober MountainGavrilets began his career at Tennessee's only ski area, which sits above Gatlinburg. You can access it via tram from downtown, or you can drive up. It's a tiny place, but still has a respectable 600-foot vertical drop. It's an Indy Pass partner. Here's a trailmap:On Peak Resorts and the Peak PassGavrilets spent a good part of his career at Peak Resorts, which Vail purchased in whole in 2019. Here's what their portfolio looked like at its height. The New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania ski areas were included on the Peak Pass outright. You could ski the Midwest ski areas with the pass, but it was one of those “stop by the customer service desk to get a ticket” deals.On the Attitash Summit TripleGavrilets spent a good part of his tenure at Attitash making the case to Vail that the company needed to upgrade the Summit Triple. This past summer, the company finally did it, putting a high-speed quad in its place. That lift is scheduled to open soon, and I went into great detail on the project with Attitash General Manager Brandon Swartz at the 6:12 mark of our recent podcast conversation:On the density of Lake Tahoe skiingThe Tahoe region may have the densest concentration of ski areas in America, with 16 lift-served Alpine ski areas circling the lake. Here's a statistical breakdown of each:On Mt. Rose's history siteMt. Rose recently re-vamped the resort history page of its website. Check it out.On reconfiguring the trails around the Lakeview liftWhen Mt. Rose upgraded the Lakeview chairlift from a triple to a high-speed quad last year, they also reconfigured several trails around it:On Galena ski areaMt. Rose's trailmap shows a potential expansion down across the Mt. Rose highway. Gavrilets tells us that Powdr had attempted to build a standalone resort called Galena down there. I could't find any information on this, but it would be cool if Mt. Rose could activate this terrain:On Shane McConkey crushing The ChutesOn connecting Mt. Rose to Reno via tramWhile it hovers over mild-weather Reno, which averages 22 inches of snowfall per winter, Mt. Rose sits at a monstrous 8,260 feet. Bridging that distance requires navigating one hell of a winding access road:We discuss a potential aerial lift up from town in the podcast, but I'm not sure if it's feasible, cost-wise, as it's 13 air miles from the airport to the ski area. That's about the same distance as the main strip of casinos. Like Gavrilets says in the pod, “if this was Europe, it would already be built.”The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Daniel Trugman, University of Nevada, Reno The level of ground motion felt during an earthquake is controlled primarily by the size of the event and the distance from the source. However, it has long been understood that variations in rupture properties like stress drop and rupture directivity can cause earthquakes of equal size to generate significant differences in ground motion. This seminar will focus in detail on the relation between the rupture process and ground motions through case studies of M5-M6 earthquakes in California and Nevada. In California, we use a Bayesian spectral inference technique to reveal regional variations in stress drop and directivity among recent M5 earthquakes. We then focus in detail on a large normal faulting earthquake near the California-Nevada border, where precariously balanced rocks provide a unique perspective on near-fault ground motions. Taken together, these studies provide new insights into rupture and ground motion that inform both fundamental earthquake science and more applied hazard calculations.

Death Valley National Park is an American national park that straddles the California–Nevada border, east of the Sierra Nevada. The park boundaries include Death Valley, the northern section of Panamint Valley, the southern section of Eureka Valley and most of Saline Valley. The park occupies an interface zone between the arid Great Basin and Mojave deserts, protecting the northwest corner of the Mojave Desert and its diverse environment of salt-flats, sand dunes, badlands, valleys, canyons and mountains. Death Valley is the largest national park in the contiguous United States, as well as the hottest, driest and lowest of all the national parks in the United States. It contains Badwater Basin, the second-lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and lowest in North America at 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. More than 93% of the park is a designated wilderness area. The park is home to many species of plants and animals that have adapted to this harsh desert environment including creosote bush, Joshua tree, bighorn sheep, coyote, and the endangered Death Valley pupfish, a survivor from much wetter times. UNESCO included Death Valley as the principal feature of its Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve in 1984.A series of Native American groups inhabited the area from as early as 7000 BC, most recently the Timbisha around 1000 AD who migrated between winter camps in the valleys and summer grounds in the mountains. A group of European Americans, trapped in the valley in 1849 while looking for a shortcut to the gold fields of California, gave the valley its name, even though only one of their group died there. Several short-lived boom towns sprang up during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to mine gold and silver. The only long-term profitable ore to be mined was borax, which was transported out of the valley with twenty-mule teams. The valley later became the subject of books, radio programs, television series, and movies. Tourism expanded in the 1920s when resorts were built around Stovepipe Wells and Furnace Creek. Death Valley National Monument was declared in 1933 and the park was substantially expanded and became a national park in 1994.The natural environment of the area has been shaped largely by its geology. The valley is actually a graben with the oldest rocks being extensively metamorphosed and at least 1.7 billion years old. Ancient, warm, shallow seas deposited marine sediments until rifting opened the Pacific Ocean. Additional sedimentation occurred until a subduction zone formed off the coast. The subduction uplifted the region out of the sea and created a line of volcanoes. Later the crust started to pull apart, creating the current Basin and Range landform. Valleys filled with sediment and, during the wet times of glacial periods, with lakes, such as Lake Manly.

Plan on visiting a lake this summer? We have some wet n' wild cryptids to look out for while enjoying the water. We cover 3 cryptids across the country, starting in Nevada then Oklahoma and ending close to home in Kentucky. First stop is Tahoe Tessie located in the famous lake Tahoe on the California Nevada border. She first appeared in the mid 19th century, and she's believed to live in the tunnels under cave rock. She's reported to be very fast and was even witnessed by 2 police officers and still seen up to the modern day. Second stop, we travel to 3 lakes in Oklahoma rumored to be home of the malicious Oklahoma Octopus. This 8-armed cryptid is rumored to have a bad attitude and is accused of causing multitudes of drownings. This is definitely one to watch out for this summer while taking a dip. Last swimming hole we visit is Lake Herrington located in Kentucky, and it's home to the famous Pig-Eel! This 15 ft long, pig-snouted serpent was seen in 1972 by many groups of people but only 1 researcher searching for it. It's been accused of being everything from an alligator gar to an actual alligator but we think we came up with a more plausible idea.

Handel on the news with the morning crew discussing the top news of the morning such as a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 magnitude earthquake hitting the California-Nevada border, Governor Newsom proposing billions of dollars in budget cuts to deal with California's projected $54billion deficit, and the Los Angele County Fair is cancelled this year!

Some tribes are taking over sage-grouse conservation where federal and state governments are not acting. Once numerous, grouse populations are in decline because of development, ranching and mineral extraction. The Trump administration just declined to protect the birds along a stretch of the California-Nevada border where environmental groups say the populations are in trouble. A federal judge rejected lawsuits in Washington State filed in part to protect grouse habitat. But several tribes are working to preserve habitat using traditional ecological knowledge. They’re also monitoring bird numbers and securing collaborative agreements with governments and businesses to help the animals recover.

Today I had the Pleasure of interviewing Mark Stark, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeSevices of Arizona, California & Nevada. Listen in to hear the great advice Mr. Stark has for new and Seasoned Agents!

Rosemary Vassiliadis, director of aviation for Clark County, Nevada, leads operations at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport and oversees four other airports in southern Nevada. Vassiliadis thinks airlines are flat wrong in their opposition to raising the passenger facility charge, or PFC. Airports have long argued for raising this fee to a maximum of $8.50 per passenger, up from $4.50 today, but airlines say doing so would crimp demand for travel. This isn't true, Vassiliadis argued in this interview, pointing to the many — and higher — ancillary fees that airlines already levy that haven't dampened demand. Airports are pushing for the increase, ultimately, in order to better serve the passenger, she noted.Vassiliadis also told Skift Airline Weekly about McCarran's new air service and plans for a new airport on the California-Nevada border.

We hit you with “Bad Times at the El Royale” starring Jeff Lebowski and an ensemble cast. Set in the late 60's, several strangers who are each walking contradictions, meet by chance at Lake Tahoe's El Royale, a former hotspot hotel straddling the California/Nevada border. Morality becomes different depending on which side of the line you're on. This is a fun discussion on a Tarantino-esque film that folds over itself, but leaves rough edges so you can fill in some of the blanks in the story on your own - intentionally. We promise that the next episode will be our wrap-up on Batman v Superman and also a discussion on Justice League with a little Man of Steel spice added in for flavor with our Australian friend, Shaheen.

Death Valley National Park on the California Nevada border is the hottest, driest and lowest of all the US national parks.  It is also the largest National Park in the lower 48 with a diverse environment of sand dunes, salt flats, mountains and valleys.  For three years beginning in 2015, Roland Banas tried and failed 4 times to cross the park solo and unsupported.  In December 2018 he began his 5th attempt.  Starting out with a 85-pound pack of food, water and gear, Roland finally completed the trek in 6 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes covering a distance of 166 miles.  Roland has written about his adventure at explorersweb.com.  Roland Banas, welcome to The Pursuit Zone.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing the one an only CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services of Arizona, California & Nevada, Mr. Mark Stark. Mark, originally from Chicago, came to Las Vegas to attend UNLV for Hotel Management.  After working in the industry for the duration of his College Career, Mark Quickly realized his passion for real estate and has been in the business since 1985. Mark goes on to talk about how he started and how he became successful without any previous real estate knowledge or a sphere to work with in his early years. He continues to explain how having the mindset of putting himself in front of new opportunities and being proactive within those, brought him to where he is today. With that being said, Mark gives some great points to success from his personal experience as we move forward through the call. Some of the points he mentions as a new agent going into this business are as follows 1. Pushing himself to be vulnerable & door knock multiple homes a day just to create SOI. 2. Obtaining high quality questions from potential clients and asking for support from his brokerage in answering them knowledgeably. 3.Being proactive in Confidence building exercises such as practicing Net sheets & listing presentations.  4. To call a work day productive, Mark would Insert himself in a minimum of two new opportunities per day such as appointments with, a new seller or a new buyer. 5. Being proactive in all aspects of how he did business was his most important factor to breeding success. Listen in for more in depth detail directly from Mark on how he got to where he is today!

We meet with Dave Weller to discuss the issues surrounding native and non-native English teachers such as attitudes of parents and teachers, the responsibilities of language schools and how to change opinions.Tracy: Hello, everyone.Ross Thorburn: Hi, folks.Tracy: Today, we've got our regular podcast guest...Both: Dave Weller.Ross: Hello, Dave.Dave Weller: Hello, everybody. I was trying not to say hurrah again.[laughter]Dave: Regular listeners will know what I mean.Ross: Dave's here this week to talk with us about a rather controversial issue...Tracy: Which is native English speaking‑teachers versus non‑native English‑speaking teachers.Ross: Today, we've got three questions. The first one is what's all the fuss about? Second...Tracy: What do the parents and the students think about it? The third one...Ross: What can managers and schools do about it?What’s the “Native” / “Non native Teacher” debate about?Ross: Guys, what's the debate about?Tracy: Based on my understanding, just schools, parents, teachers and students feel a different mode of English ‑‑ native or non‑native...They've got advantages and disadvantages. So it seems more people, native English‑speaking teachers and have a better model of English.Ross: As well as that, it seems like there's a bit of a tendency in the industry that native speakers who are teachers will tend to get paid more. Native speakers who are teachers will tend to be given more opportunities.Dave: Actually, I read about a study that looks at higher education institutions in the UK. They found over 70 percent of them made hiring decisions for staff based on whether they were native or non‑native speakers.Ross: That doesn't surprise me a lot. It's almost like our whole methodology and approach to teaching language, doing everything in the students' L2, is almost based around having native‑speaking teachers, right?Dave: Definitely. It goes really deep. Again, there's different levels of it. It's fine if it just stayed as an opinion, but once it turns into action, policy and systems, that's where discrimination kicks in. It becomes distinctly unfair and entrenched within our industry. Despite being what a lot of people think of as a very nice and liberal industry, it hides quite a lot of trade dark secrets.Ross: Interestingly, if you do any reading on this, you find that it becomes very difficult to define what a native speaker actually is. One thing that you can't deny is that the person grew up speaking English, but when you start to look at other criteria, they're very, very woolly.It tends to be things like they can be creative with language, they don't have a foreign accent, they're aware of the culture of the language. All these things, which clearly, it's possible...Dave: Of course. Non‑native speakers have that as well.Ross: Ultimately, you get to this point where, really, the only difference between the two is that one of them grew up speaking English, and one didn't. Which, if you're learning English from someone, is pretty irrelevant, isn't it, what language or what they did in their childhood. Who cares about that?Dave: Precisely. All you really care about is how good they are as a teacher, how well then can connect with you in the classroom, they can motivate you, and all the other things that go into making up a good teacher.This whole argument actually needs to be rephrased into clearer lines. Silvana Richardson mentioned in her IATEFL that we need a new word for non‑native speakers. For me, that word would just be English teachers.There's no point devolving that word into finer detail. You should actually go back up the chain. We're all English teachers. Just some of us have different skills and backgrounds than others.If we were to do that, it would solve a lot of these problems. When you talk about a teacher, you can, "OK, which language can they speak and at what level?" That way, you can say, "Well, in the old parlance, there's this native‑speaking teacher who can speak a little bit of the learner's L1, but not to their level."Then there's a native speaker who can't speak any. Then there's a non‑native speaker who is local to the area. Then there's a non‑native speaker that isn't local from the area."Ross: Part of it is linguistic determinism. The Sapir‑Whorf hypothesis, made famous by the recent movie ‑‑ "Arrival." This idea that because of the language that we use, that we have to describe the teachers as native and non‑native teachers or speakers, that's the thing that we end up focusing on.If we changed it, and say, we called them monolingual or bilingual teachers, then which of those would you have a preference for?Dave: I agree to a point, but this is why I might be against that. I can't say everything goes as you plan. Then in 20 years' time, you actually might get a reverse situation where there's prejudice against native speakers because of the bilingualism versus monolingualism.All I think you should do is revert back to the phrase teachers and then what skills does that teacher have.What do parents and the students think about “Native” / “Non- native Teachers”?Ross: Interesting in that the research I've done on this and the survey where I looked at parents, students, teachers, and sales and service staff, and asked every group, I had a bunch of different attributes in there.For example, attitudes, qualifications, personalities, relationship with students, being native speakers, what people look like, their nationality, and their ability to speak the student's L1.The number one thing was definitely not being a native speaker. That ranked about number three or number four in people's preference. The native or non‑native speaker is...people use that as a proxy.It's something that if you don't know anything about the industry, then you can relate to that very, very easily, but if you're a parent and you don't know anything about language learning, you're not going to know what qualifications the teachers should have.It's very difficult to see what the teachers' attitudes are or their personalities, if any, or of those things. It is quite simple to check. Is this person a native speaker or not?Dave: I find it fascinating. To go back to non‑native speakerism for a second, I was reading some of Adrian Holliday's work. He said that it started out as almost a marketing ploy from various aid agencies back in the '60s to propagate the idea that native speakers were the best model.In which case, that obviously links up to the idea that Silvana Richardson said in her plenary that we can change the perception in the industry. All it takes is a little time.With research that backs this up ‑‑ research coming out that actually says that it's not just OK, but beneficial to use L1 in the classroom ‑‑ you put those things together, then this is the way forward to actually eradicate bias in our industry.Ross: Let me play you that quote from Silvana now.Silvana Richardson: Employers always have choices. Collusion with inequality and prejudice is a choice. Discrimination is a choice. As Rajagopalan says, "In our neoliberal world, who will dare challenge what the market dictates?"The answer to this is, just because the market is demanding certain things, it does not mean that the market itself cannot be made to perceive things differently.Ross: Do you think that's true? Is that realistic though, that the market can be made to perceive...Dave: Of course, it is. Yeah, definitely. If you look on an individual on a mass scale, how many times have we changed our minds over the course of our professional development over the last 10, 15 years?Precisely, it's the same thing with the industry. Industries change, ideas change, views change. It happens usually, I would argue, from the ground up rather than direct from above, especially in an industry such as ours which is quite fragmented and has no overarching body to dictate the standards.Tracy: I still think there is a huge market, because you just look at the education companies doing online or offline. The business...they create the scenario, and having native English teachers is the better choice.Ross: In that case, do you think it's an easier or difficult or a long or short task to change the way that Chinese parents and students see local teachers?Tracy: It's going to be a long way. I have to say all the non‑native teachers need to work really hard, because if you constantly made the mistakes, and you constantly misspell the word, and you constantly use the utterances or expressions that people don't normally use, and use those language to teach your students, there is a problem.Ross: It's so unfair, because I see a lot of really bad native‑speaking teachers [laughs] who don't get picked up on making teaching mistakes or methodological mistakes.Dave: Or even language mistakes of teaching language which is highly improbable, possible but doesn't often get used. They end up teaching...It's, maybe, not going technically wrong, but you'll hear people teaching language that never gets used.Ross: They're from one particular part of the Deep South in America and they use a phrase that only them and their family and the people in that village use and are like, "I've never heard it before."I don't see them getting picked up on those mistakes. They tend to get a free pass because they're a native speaker. That's really unfair.Tracy: A lot of teachers or parents always say, "Oh, I want my student or my child to speak Standard English," or "All the students should learn Standard English."Dave: There's no such thing anymore, is there?Ross: I don't think so. Is that a cultural concept that exists in China? There is a standard Chinese, but there's no Standard English.Dave: Let's play devil's advocate just for a second. I can clearly understand what they mean though. Even though we're looking at it from a technician's point of view, we're looking at it from a point of view of professionals in the industry. What parents mean...it's almost like the shadows on Plato's cave, to take it deep for a second.The concept of a horse, despite all horses can look slightly different...Again, they're using that term as a proxy of an English that will be understood around the world. No matter where they go, it'll be effortless to be able to communicate with other English‑speaking teachers and not be hindered in any way through pronunciation or grammar or phrase. That's shorthand for what they're trying to say.Ross: Indeed, but is it not also the case that a very, very small percentage of learners will learn English or an accent or something to the point where they're at that level of, "Oh, I want to sound English" or "I want to sound American," but, really, for most of the students I've taught, even after years, they sound Chinese, because...Dave: Maybe your students, Ross.[laughter]Dave: Sorry, that's such a flippant answer. No, I completely agree with your point. In fact, I'd even add to that and say, it's not about increasing their level. It's about teaching the skills to grade their language if they do encounter another non‑native speaker who has trouble understanding their accent, maybe because they're from a quite different culture. Again, you're arguing against a perception and a belief.What can managers and schools do about “Native” / Non-native Teacher” discriminationRoss: Can we talk for a minute about language schools and, maybe, what language schools can do about that? I've got another Silvana quote for you. Do you mind if I play this briefly?Dave: Please do.Silvana: This is part of the California/Nevada's position paper opposing discrimination against non‑native English speaking teachers. It says, "Teaching job announcements that indicate a preference or requirement for a native speaker of English trivialize the professional development teachers have received and teaching experience they have already acquired.Such announcements are also discriminatory and ultimately harm all teachers ‑‑ native or not ‑‑ by devaluing teacher education, professionalism, and experience.Ross: To what extent do you guys agree or disagree with that?Dave: 100 percent. Again, I really speak with authority from my background, which is as a native speaker. Again, it does trivialize my experience and the amount of work I've put in over the last 15 years of professional development, studying...Ross: Getting qualifications and things...Dave: Precisely. The extra work I've put in ‑‑ thousands of hours ‑‑ and then to be reduced to being called, "He's a native speaker. He'll do."Ross: It still happens so often. Tracy, you had something like that a few weeks ago over organizing a teacher training thing here. Again, you've obviously got your diploma, you're studying your MA, you've been a tutor and a course director on accredited courses.The people running the course said, "Oh, can you make sure there's a native speaker or foreigner for at least half the course?"Dave: Who's just finished a 40‑hour online course, perhaps.Ross: Or maybe not even that. Isn't it fascinating that that still persists?Tracy: They even didn't care about what qualifications or experience they have. Also interesting, the person from the organization even asked me, "Can you tell me more about this trainer?"I said, "OK. Maybe I can ask this person to send the CV, send the training, teaching experience." She said, "We really don't care about it. Just tell me his age, which country he's from, and also if he's white or black."Ross: What about on the flip side for a minute then, Dave? As someone who used to be a director of studies before in a school where you had to make hiring decisions, where's this balance? Were you ever in some tough situations there?Dave: [laughs] Yes.Ross: How did that work out then?Dave: The thing is, as a manager ‑‑ anyone who's been a manager, I'm sure, can relate to this ‑‑ you have to pick and choose your battles. That was the one that I'll actually go to bat for.If you had several candidates and various degrees of discrimination in different things as one that Tracy mentioned earlier about someone's skin color, also about non‑native speaking teachers, you just go and not actually ask if these persons' qualified, they're capable, they've gone through the interview process, and that they would be a good fit for this team, they'd be a good fit for this country, and they'd be a great fit for our school.Then you'd put your foot down. You'd have an argument, almost, with the culture of the school. If you won ‑‑ sometimes you did, sometimes you didn't ‑‑ often, unfortunately, it depended on how badly the school needed teachers, and how many classes waiting you had, how many students waiting to start class.Unfortunately, it was usually the deciding factor. Once the teacher arrived, whereas the students after a few lessons, would be delighted with the experienced teacher, the parents would turn and become delighted and insist on having that teacher as a future teacher for their children.What’s does the future hold for “Non-native English teachers”?Dave: It's always sad that we actually have to do this, or that it's something that we do have to get passionate about. Do spread the word on.I'm very optimistic about it. I like to think there are enough people out there that people will go back, spread the word, and take small actions. There will be this groundswell of people that do this.Ross: All right, Dave, thanks very much for coming on. It was a pleasure talking to you again.Dave: It's a pleasure to be here, as always. Thank you.[background music]Tracy: Thanks, Dave.

On August 2nd, 2012 Attorney Daniel Siegel, representing the California Attorney General’s Office, commented on the Tahoe Regional Plan and the California-Nevada Recommendations presented by California Secretary for Natural Resources, John Laird and Nevada Director of Conservation and Natural Resources, Leo Drozdoff. These comments were provided at the Regional Plan Update Committee meeting of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. The question at the close of this segment is asked by Shelly Aldean, Vice Chair of the Governing Board representing the Carson City Board of Supervisors.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, Regional Plan Update Committee, received on August 2nd 2012 the California-Nevada Consultation, Regional Plan Update Recommendations presented by Nevada Director of Conservation and Natural Resources, Leo Drozdoff and California Secretary for Natural Resources, John Laird. Following is a 6-minute segment of their remarks compiled from their 30-minute presentation.

Chuck remembers first reading stories about bigfoot while he was in second grade, at a school on the Jersey shore, just east of the infamous New Jersey Pine Barrens, home of the infamous Jersey Devil. Then shortly thereafter seeing the Patterson/Gimlin film on “In Search Of” with Leonard Nimoy. Since then he has had a real fascination with cryptozoology. Today, Chuck lives in Reno, Nevada. Two years ago, after watching one of the first MonsterQuest “Sasquatch” episodes with his then, 8 years old son, he started researching sightings on the internet. It was then that he realized that there have been numerous sightings, not far from where he lives, in the Lake Tahoe area and surrounding Sierra Nevadas. With this new found revelation, he became obsessed with anything and everything “bigfoot.” Already having a blog for his work in currency trading, and after reading a few other bigfoot related blogs, Chuck decided to start blogging on bigfoot, with a focus on the eastern Sierra Nevadas. This hobby he started, as an activity to do with his son, has since turned into a passion. Chuck has begun his own field research, and is now scouting areas along the California/Nevada border. Chuck's an avid sport fisherman, and scuba diver, so he's not far out of his element being in the outdoors. He enjoys talking bigfoot with anyone who's interested, and encourages everyone to get off the couch, and get out there to enjoy, and humbly respect the squatch's domain.To view Chuck's blog, you can find it at: sierratahoebigfoot.blogspot.com. Join us at Nite Callers Radio as we bring you another American Bigfoot researcher.
