ABSTRACT In the last five years, news of various scandals in the pageant industry has inundated media outlets. These recent incidents are by no means outliers in the history of pageantry. This article ex- plores the significance of one of these controversies - the Rebekah Revels litigation, which stemmed from the disputed 2002 Miss North Carolina pageant. For context, this article first outlines allegations of wrongdoing in early pageants. It proceeds with an analysis of how the Revels liti- gation serves as an exemplar of the types of contract lawsuits that may continue to entangle pageant organizations in the future. Finally, the article provides an examination of the specific legal, economic, and sociocultural effects that the Revels litigation has had, and likely will continue to have, upon the business model of the pageant industry.

  • The Geology and Paleontology of Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, Nevada
    The Geology and Paleontology of Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument, Nevada On December 19, 2014, Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument in Nevada was established by Congress as the 405th unit of the National Park Service to “conserve, protect, interpret, and enhance for the benefit of present and future generations the unique and nationally important paleontological, scientific, educational, and recreational resources and values of the land” (P.L. 113-291, sec. 3092). Photograph by Eric Scott, Cogstone Resource Management, Inc., used with permission. The upper Las Vegas Wash cuts through sediments formed by ancient springs and marshes that blanketed the Las Vegas Valley floor during the Pleistocene Epoch. These deposits have yielded thousands of vertebrate fossils and contain valuable information on past climatic and environmental conditions. This is Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument.

  • Las Vegas Is Fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents Enjoy Our Wide-Ranging Venues Too
    LAS VEGAS IS FILLED WITH EXCITING WEDDING DESTINATIONS Las Vegas is fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents enjoy our wide-ranging venues too. Fabulous hotels and resorts present unimaginable options. Storied Las Vegas chapels and Elvis impersonators provide altogether different choices. We’ve done weddings in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and are looking forward to our first at the Mob Museum and the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Beyond that, Las Vegas has high-end restaurants, clubs and studios that offer one-of-a-kind packages. But you may be looking for something more picturesque than any of these. You may want your wedding “in a cathedral not built by human hands”. Vegas weddings don’t have to be indoors. With sunny consistent weather, Las Vegas is a perfect place for outdoor weddings. And with hillside locations offering panoramic views, extending forty miles, you can choose among breathtaking backgrounds for your incredible day. Las Vegas weather is magnificent all year round. Our winters average 39ºF / 58ºF (December and January). In summer our mornings and nights are inviting (though in July and August our afternoon temperatures occasionally reach as high as 115ºF). Our breezes and gorgeous sunsets are legendary. Rain is infinitesimal. So terrace, gazebo, garden, lake side, golf course, park, and unique outdoor weddings are always possible – and always romantic! Whether you are hiring someone to arrange a huge wedding, or you’re preparing an intimate ceremony for just your partner and a witness or two, Las Vegas has it all. You can plan with confidence. We’ve officiated weddings while in a Limo travelling the Strip and a helicopter encir- cling the city (neither are technically “outdoors”).

    AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT – CALIENTE RAIL ALIGNMENT Figure 3-72. Groundwater usage in Nevada in 2000. (Source: DIRS 175964-Lopes and Evetts 2004, p. 7.) There are a number of published estimates of perennial yield for many of the hydrographic areas in Nevada, and those estimates often differ by large amounts. The perennial-yield values listed in Table 3-35 predominantly come from a single source, the Nevada Division of Water Planning (DIRS 103406-Nevada Division of Water Planning 1992, for Hydrographic Regions 10, 13, and 14); therefore, the table does not show a range of values for each hydrographic area. In the Yucca Mountain area, the Nevada Division of Water Planning identifies a combined perennial yield for hydrographic areas 225 through 230. DOE obtained perennial yields from Data Assessment & Water Rights/Resource Analysis of: Hydrographic Region #14 Death Valley Basin (DIRS 147766-Thiel 1999, pp. 6 to 12) to provide estimates for hydrographic areas the Caliente rail alignment would cross: 227A, 228, and 229. That 1999 document presents perennial-yield estimates from several sources. Table 3-35 lists the lowest (that is, the most conservative) values cited in that document, which is consistent with the approach DOE used in the Yucca Mountain FEIS (DIRS 155970-DOE 2002, p. 3-136). DOE/EIS-0369 3-173 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT – CALIENTE RAIL ALIGNMENT Table 3-35 also summarizes existing annual committed groundwater resources for each hydrographic area along the Caliente rail alignment. However, all committed groundwater resources within a hydrographic area might not be in use at the same time. Table 3-35 also includes information on pending annual duties within each of these hydrographic areas.
