Volunteers needed March 8th

So often we have people ask what they can do to help promote BBWnetwork, well Vegas locals this is it, we need your help.

The television show The Biggest Loser is having an open casting call Saturday March 8th. I watch the show and enjoy it. I've seen so many lives changed but I'm always sad when they show the audition tapes that contestants send in showing how awful their lives are and why they want to lose weight. I think we all need to what we can to be healthier but we should not be made to feel bad about our selves. I think if you want to lose weight it should not be because society makes us feel bad about ourselves and we would like every person in that audition line to know they are welcome at any size at the Bash. I know that not every person will attend the Bash but I would like them all to know about it and all the great people that are out their that will love and except them at any size.

So I need volunteers to pass out flyers at the Biggest Loser open casting call:

March 8th.

Towbin Hummer Dealership

5550 West Sahara

Las Vegas, NV 89146

10:00 am

Also if the Biggest Loser is casting in your city and you would like to pass out flyers, just drop me an email and I'll be sure to get you the flyers http://www.nbc.com/Casting/ Be sure to keep checking the site, they add more cities all the time.

FYI: March 8th they also have open casting in Mesa, AZ and Los Angeles,CA

Hey, also if you tryout for the show and make it let us know so we can cheer you on.

Lake Mead Drying Up

Esther — Thur, 14 Feb 2008 06:58:03 GMT

This is an interesting article. If this happens, Vegas & California is in BIG trouble.

Study: 50-50 chance of dry Lake Mead in 2021

Study cites warming, water use and growing Colorado River deficit

MSNBC staff and news service reports

updated 11:57 a.m. MT, Tues., Feb. 12, 2008

What are the chances that Lake Mead, a key source of water for more than 22 million people in the Southwest, would ever go dry? A new study says it's 50 percent by 2021 if warming continues and water use is not curtailed.

"We were stunned at the magnitude of the problem and how fast it was coming at us," co-author Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography said in a statement. "Make no mistake, this water problem is not a scientific abstraction, but rather one that will impact each and every one of us that live in the Southwest."

"It's likely to mean real changes to how we live and do business in this region," added co-author David Pierce, a Scripps climate scientist.

The experts estimated that the Colorado River system, which feeds Lake Mead and Lake Powell, is seeing a net deficit of nearly 1 million acre-feet of water per year an amount that can supply some 8 million people. That water is not being replenished, they noted, and human demand, evaporation and human-induced climate change are fueling the growing deficit.

The system is already at half capacity because of eight years of drought.

"When expected changes due to global warming are included as well, currently scheduled depletions are simply not sustainable," Barnett and Pierce write in the study.

The two analyzed federal records of past water demand as well as calculations of scheduled water allocations and climate conditions.

'Bucket' being depleted
"The biggest change right now is taking more water from the bucket than we are putting into it," Barnett said.

Lake Mead straddles the Arizona-Nevada border. Aqueducts carry water from the system to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and other communities.

The researchers also noted that their estimates are conservative in other words, the water shortage is likely to be even more dire than they estimate. The conservative approach included basing their findings on:

The premise that warming effects only started in 2007, though most experts consider human-caused warming to have likely started decades earlier.

Averaging river flow over the past 100 years, even though it has dropped in recent decades.

The study has been accepted for publication, possibly next month, in the peer-reviewed Water Resources Research, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.

Barnett and Pierce also estimated:

A 10 percent chance that Lake Mead could be dry by 2014.

A 50 percent chance that reservoir levels will drop too low to allow hydroelectric power generation by 2017.

The uncertainty about when and if the lake will run dry stems from the natural fluctuations of the Colorado River, which feeds the lake, Barnett said. In recent months the flow has been above average, he said, after years below average.

'At or beyond the sustainable limit'
The system could still run dry even if recently proposed mitigation measures are implemented, the researchers said.

"Today, we are at or beyond the sustainable limit of the Colorado system," the study concludes. "The alternative to reasoned solutions to this coming water crisis is a major societal and economic disruption in the desert southwest; something that will affect each of us living in the region."

Lake Mead, which was created when Hoover Dam was buit, provides 90 percent of Las Vegas' water.

Scott Huntley, a spokesman for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, said his agency overseeing the Las Vegas area's water was concerned about reliance on Lake Mead as the major source for Las Vegas and officials were seeking alternate sources.

"While we wholeheartedly support the authors' call for greater urban water conservation, it is important to also remember that agriculture uses four-fifths of the Colorado River's flows, so meaningful solutions cannot be borne solely by urban users," he added.
