About two and a half years ago, the Reno City Council made working to reduce emissions and conserve energy one of their priorities - the concept of making Reno a "green" city. The newly green Reno Arch is the latest in a series of city projects aimed at reaching this goal with environmentally friendly technology. A recently completed project put a 180 KW solar system on top of the Parking Gallery in downtown Reno. A 90 KW system for the Reno Events Center is being designed and others are being considered. Wind power is in the mix as well, with turbines planned for Reno City Hall, the Parking Gallery, Mira Loma Park, and the grounds of the Stead sewer treatment plant. At the Reno Arch lighting, I heard Mayor Cashell comment that the top of City Hall will be a great place for wind turbines, what with all the hot air rising from politicians' offices.

To launch its second season in Reno, the Bighorns are having a meet-the-team event this Friday, November 20, at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, 3800 S. Virginia Street in Reno. The event is free to the public and starts at 5:30 p.m. in the Atlantis Grand Ballrooms 5 and 6. Bighorns players will be available for autographs and pictures, along with the Bighorns Dance Team and Bruno the Bighorns mascot.
Single game tickets start at just $7. You can spend more depending on where you want to sit, but that's a pretty good deal for professional quality basketball. If you have a group of 20 or more, the per ticket prices are even better. Check out the Bighorns group pricing web page for details. For more ticket information, call (775) 284-2622.
If you can't make a game and still want to follow the action, listen in on local radio station KJFK 1230 AM. You can also watch the games online for free at NBA Futurecast. The Reno Bighorns are affiliated with the NBA Sacramento Kings and Orlando Magic.

Steve Clemons, director of foreign policy programs at the New America Institute in Washington, conducted an exclusive interview with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal in Damascus. Questions ranged from the Goldstone Report to the rift between the Palestinian groups Hamas and Fatah. One example of the many thought provoking questions Clemons asks Meshal in the interview:
Clemons: [Are you] a Palestinian patriot or a Muslim patriot? Obviously from an American perspective too many Americans look at...Muslim Brotherhood, Hizbullah, Hamas and they say they are all al-Qaeda, which I know is wrong but I would like to hear how you characterize this.
Meshal: Hamas is a movement of national liberation... We adopt the Islamic thought, because we are part of [a] region that is Arab and Muslim. This is a normal thing, just like when there is a movement in Europe it is Christian. We are a liberation movement but we are an Islamic movement too because we are part of this region naturally.
