Another summer, another Lake Mead update: And this year, it's not looking great. Our snowpack gains this winter were pretty dismal, and the National Weather Service recently even lowered their projections for Lake Powell, whose upstream levels affect Lake Mead's. In light of all this, we're bringing back a conversation that co-host Dayvid Figler had with UNLV hydrology professor David Kreamer. The creation of Lake Mead was not without its costs — so was it worth it? And what happens if we use Lake Mead up?

In the coming weeks, investors in nine public companies worth at least $1 billion each will vote on proposals to ditch Delaware as their place of incorporation, potentially denting the state's longtime reputation as Corporate America's capital, Reuters has found.

The planet is not the same as it was when you were a kid. The summers are hotter, and longer. There are more storms. The ocean is more acidic. More animals have become critically endangered. While it’s still controversial, it’s no secret that the majority of scientists affirm climate change models. These predictions range from minor inconvenience to total climate meltdown–and they can be intensely stressful.

Now, an effort moving through the Legislature hopes to attract even more.
When you think of "Old Vegas," the icons that probably come to mind are names like Elvis, Sinatra and Wayne Newton. However, there were many Asian American and Pacific Islander performers then, too, who played an integral role in shaping entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip in the mid to late 1900s.
A long, rolling mindwipe through the healing beauty of the West would be good for me mentally, emotionally, even spiritually. Perhaps for you, too. But what about ethically? After all, we’re a quarter of the way through the 21st century, and we should no longer operate as if blithely unaware of travel’s complicated, adverse impacts: the way fossil fuels worsen climate change; the eco-damage caused by tourists trampling our lovely places to find their selfies; the social stratifications reified by the privileges of leisure travel.
