Duped tourists visiting St. Andrews will sometimes send postcards home describing the beauty of the city's most ancient links, the Old Course. Wish you were here! It's amusing, really. To me, the real postcard courses are in Ireland and Hawaii and on Scotland's west coast. Rolling duneland, crashing surf, long shadows, spongy green turf -- that whole thing. The Old Course -- in Fife, on the east coast -- is an ugly ole bastard, to my eye. The game's original 18-holer is hard and knobby, gray and urban and crowded, with weird, toothy animals darting in and out of the bushes at dusk. It's my favorite place in all of golf and all of sport. The place makes me happy. What can I say?
If you have watched the Indianapolis Colts much the first two weeks, you know the big difference in their team is the competent, occasionally lethal defense they have flying around the ball. It's overly simplistic to give the credit to one man, but there's no doubt in my mind that, next to Peyton Manning, the most indispensable player on this team through two weeks (with apologies to Dwight Freeney and Joseph Addai) is strong safety Bob Sanders.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) -- Not to spoil it for those watching the Masters on Sunday, but the winner already has been determined.
The Masters is built on lore. The heroic shots of Sunday afternoons. The tragic failures. It is the glory of the game set against the backdrop of azaleas, a falling spring sun and (warning: cliche alert) a cathedral of pines.
"You're not Bobby Jones." My tone was accusatory,but the man at the door of my Pullman compartmentgave me a wan smile. "Bobby is indisposed." No, I said to myself, Bobby is dead. Bobby's been deadfor 35 years. It was midnight, and I was hungry andcranky. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" He wasweaving with the rocking motion of the train, a middle-aged man wearing round, wire-rimmed spectacles,a creme-colored sport shirt and a tweed jacket. "I wasexpecting the ghost of Bobby Jones," I said. "The e-mailsaid, 'Midnight, the Lake Shore Limited.' I flew to Chicago, grabbed a cab at Midway, ranto the Amtrak counter. . . ." I felt my blood pressure spiking. "The golf ghosts have alwaysvisited me. I've never had to chase after them." The man cocked his head and made atut-tut sound with his tongue. " 'His mind was filled with a single thought: that of his happinessdestroyed for no apparent reason,' " he declared. Registering my blank expression,he added, "Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo." Emboldened by my cont
What the Masters does is preserve the code. The PGA Tour money folk, left to their own devices, would chase every last dollar until the Tour fell into the NASCAR/NBA/NFL/WWE abyss. (Exhibit A: the 44 corporate logos in the Tour media guide.) The Masters reminds us of the importance of gracious losers, replaced divots, hushed spectators-the actual game. That's why the chairman of Augusta National Golf Club (along with the game's dominant player at any given time and very few other people) is one of golf's most influential figures. Every April trees bud, the clubs come out, we turn on CBS and fall for the whole thing again, the grace and beauty and athleticism. We actually like the knot in our stomach that makes us want to heave our lunch, even if it's all vicarious. Your grandmother doesn't watch the Honda Classic, but she watches the Masters, right?
You may bored to the point of aggravation/ Excited as a lighted fuse/ Sick with the sight of degradation/ Or you may think you have nothing left to lose/ But it don't matter what you feel/ You can beg, you can borrow or steal/ But as long as I'm holding the wheel/ I don't want no spitting on the bus. -- Steve Gibbons
Augusta National's image as an exclusive (and exclusionary) institution is a reflection of the club's co-founders, Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. As the most famous glam-ateur in the game's history, Jones was the face of the club, the front man who hung out with Hollywood stars and heads of state. Roberts was an enigma -- a man with an eye for detail and innovation both as the club and Masters tournament chairman for 45 years, he was also myopic in his world view, once infamously muttering, "As long as I'm alive, golfers will be white, and caddies will be black." Thirty years ago, Roberts, in declining health, wandered out onto the world's most famous course and blew his own brains out. The legacy he left is one of intrigue, with fact and fiction intertwined like coffee and fresh cream before the spoon gives them a stir. Here's the truth, half-truths and downright fairy tales about the man behind the curtain for so many years at the Masters.
Guess what? You can have a PGA Tour event without Tiger, Phil, Vijay and Ernie. The Honda Classic, which wrapped up with a four-man playoff on Monday morning, had a B-list field yet turned out to be the best tournament of the year.
It's a month away, but I can already tell you that Masters Sunday will be special. I know this because it's going to begin with Arnold Palmer winning the Masters.
Here, some of the greats recall the two days that could satisfy you for a lifetime: the first time you set foot on Augusta, and the first time you win the Masters (ifyou're lucky enough).
1. The Colts touched down in Miami on Monday night. They weren't talking about the health of Peyton Manning's swollen thumb, but it might not have been a good sign that it barely fit in the overhead compartment.
PGA Tour veteran Jay Haas has been selected as the recipient of the United States Golf Association (USGA) Bob Jones Award, the USGA said on Monday.

You're on a golfing vacation. You land in Atlanta, Georgia. Your immediate reaction, of course, will be to head directly to Augusta National, Bobby Jones' golfing cathedral that hosts the Masters, recently won by Tiger Woods for the fourth time.
The French are criticized for a lot of things--nasty museum clerks, the Maginot Line, Gerard Depardieu movies. Golf might not rank high on your list of reasons to dislike the French, unless you hap...
This week, one of golf's biggest events takes place: the 2004 United States Open. The storied, 110-year-old tournament has become almost as much about commerce as about sport.
In 1928, the last time the U.S. Open was held at Olympia Fields, women were so happy to have the right to vote that they didn't protest male-only clubs. Professional golfers were second-class citiz...

In "Plains of Spain" brazilian photographer Ricardo Hage presents pictures produced while traveling through Spain in the winter of 2010.
His photos, always obtained from inside trains, automobiles, airplanes and buses, have a duality between the technically perfect image and blur, distressed, faded photos.
The light is always a vital component in the work of Ricardo: if abundantly present the image suffers less, the camera's sensitivity increases and decreases distortion. Where, instead, the light fades, a new image, full of mystery and fantastic distortions appears.
We follow the images of the artist as someone looking for missing elements in a puzzle. Sometimes, watching a small area of his pictures, we find scenes of great drama, that are not even imagined if we look at the images without attention.

You will want to DOUBLE this recipe!! It is so great. I did change it a little-- used chocolate protein powder instead of powdered milk. Adding the addition of "chocolate-i-ness" made it taste like a true peanut butter cup! Instead of rolling into balls, the double recipe fits nicely into a 9x9 square pan. Great straight out of fridge or out of a lunch box. Yummy!
just made them; used granola instead of cracker crumbs (did not have)--- the dough was have eaten before I could roll them!!! very very good!
Made the recipe exactly as directed and my family loved them on our Canadian Thanksgiving table:)
I've made these before and rolled them in cocoa to dust them.
we had something similar in my school, but they used corn flakes instead of oats or Rice Crispies. delish as I remember it.

PHOENIX -- Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a bill paving the way for replacement of the AIMS test with a new achievement test based on tougher standards being adopted by Arizona and other states.
Brewer signed the bill Thursday, two days after receiving it after the House approved it on Tuesday. The Senate approved it previously.
The bill will eliminate the requirement that high school students pass the AIMS test to graduate.
Brewer called the new Common Core standards an important part of improving education in Arizona.

'Get on with it' says Ducker on new build plans
12:00pm Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in Countywide
A CONTROVERSIAL new housing development in Wallingford should be built as soon as possible, according to South Oxfordshire District Council leader Ann Ducker.
Mrs Ducker said building work for 555 homes at Slade End Farm, off Wantage Road, should begin at the earliest opportunity.
In October, a last-minute ruling by a planning inspector switched the location of where the new homes will be built.
The council's core strategy, agreed last month, had proposed siting the homes at Winterbrook off Reading Road, instead of at Slade End Farm. But the final ruling by inspector Roy Foster picked Slade End Farm.
Mrs Ducker, who lives near Wallingford, said seeing new homes built in the town was one of her priorities.
She added: "Where new housing should go in Wallingford has been controversial all the way, but now the core strategy has been agreed we will ask the developers to push on as soon as possible.
"We will now be encouraging the developers to get on with it."
The inspector's final decision to choose Slade End Farm was "mainly because of the additional sensitivities at the Winterbrook site, relating to historic conservation, together with closeness to a possible minerals extraction site", according to SODC last year.
The 555 homes will be built alongside a new primary school, open space, allotments and new sports pitches next to Wallingford Sports Park.
David Butcher, a spokesman for developers PRUPIM, said: "We are looking forward to working with local stakeholders, as well as SODC and Oxfordshire County Council, to bring forward a development that is a benefit to the town.
"The team is currently working to produce a design brief to be agreed with SODC that will set the broad parameters for a future planning application for the site."

Event Time : Ongoing
Event Location: Various
Number of Volunteers Needed: Multiple
Event Description/Volunteer Needs : The HALOS mission is to provide resources and special opportunities to abused and neglected children and their caregivers through partnerships with faith-based and other community organizations. Because of our small size, we rely heavily on our volunteers to help us support this mission. There are several ways to assist us in our work. Specifically:
1. Special events - from time to time, we have special events that require 'all hands on deck!' We have several seasonal and annual opportunities that require only a few hours of help but have a huge impact on our organization and families alike! Many of these opportunities are listed in a monthly e-newsletter that is distributed throughout the community. If you would like to be added to the newsletter mailing list, please let us know and we would be delighted to add you!
2. Food donations - As a facet of our Kinship Care program, we offer support groups for our kinship caregivers twice per month on the second and fourth Thursday evenings. These evenings serve as a respite opportunity for our caregivers as well as a chance to network with others and gain personal knowledge and insight. Through the grace of others, we are able to provide the evening meal for our families - typically up to 20 adults and 30 children. If you enjoy cooking or would like to purchase a meal, you may sign up at: http://www2.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=halos_food_2013
3. Support group childcare - In addition to the meal served, we also provide free childcare during our support groups. Up to 30 children can attend each session and it always promises to be an exciting event with scheduled activities and FUN! Because our volunteers work directly with the children at these events, we do require that all of our childcare volunteers are aged 18 or older, undergo a SLED background check (a $10 fee applies) and attend a volunteer orientation prior to these events. Our volunteer orientations are held at the DSS Building Annex (2036 Cherokee St. N. Charleston). Please feel free to contact me directly to sign up for orientation or to discern future sessions.
If you have any questions or concerns or would like additional information, please contact Andrea Thames.

Trinity Episcopal Church will hold its annual Blue Christmas service Sunday at 4 p.m. This is an observance that serves as a shelter and safe refuge for those in the community who are suffering from loss. Trinity's gift of reflection provides an hour to recognize the holy season of Christmas in a sacred space created especially for those people living through dark times.
The Blue Christmas service, held close to Dec. 21 - the longest night of the year - gives to those who are weighed down by these feelings an opportunity to offer up their pain, loneliness, and sad and dark memories as authentic rather than feeling the need to suppress them. At the same time the quiet hour allows for those suffering to renew their spirits with hope and peace. According to Father Michael Fincher, Associate Rector, "The service is designed to be non-denominational so as to be of comfort and meaning to anyone, regardless of church affiliation. We offer this service as a gift to the community, to those truly in need of the hope and promise that this season is meant to provide."
The evening has elements of healing for those who have lost a loved one. The "We Remember Them" litany encourages the participants to name the person who has died and recognizes the need to keep their memory alive in acknowledgment of their time here on Earth. However, there are provisions for comfort in a broader sense. The opening litany of hope and peace encourages the congregation "to sing with notes formed of hope and acts of justice." The three scriptural readings solicit commentary on the human condition of suffering, and the invitation to light candles as an outward sign of hope provides a promise of light and life anew. Textual reflections will be offset by meditative music provided by Lisa Krall, piano; Becky Long, cello; and Victoria Jones, flute.
The warmth of fellowship will continue in the Great Hall with an appetizer table and hot cider, with festive music continued by the trio. Luminarias will light the garden and each participant will get a star memento to mark the evening.
Trinity Episcopal Church is at 419 S. 4th St. in Redlands. Nursery care will be available. For information, call 909-793-2014.

A delicious, chewy oatmeal raisin cookie from the cafeteria in my building.
I went on a quest earlier in the week so find something to satisfy my sweet tooth, and came up empty handed.
There were no oatmeal cookies. A muffin didn't sound appealing. And everything else contained chocolate - friggin' Lent.
I saw this recipe for date cookies and was intrigued. I made a few changes: I reduced the sugar to a tablesoon (the dough was plenty sweet) and opted not to frost them, because that just sounded gross to me.
I even prewrapped them like the cafeteria does. They are delicious and moist - and even kinda healthy'ish.
I also arrived to some peanut butter sandwich cookies on my desk this morning. A colleague made some festive St. Patty's Day brownies for the team, but made me some cookies since she knew I gave up chocolate.
I've had a pretty rough week at work, so I'm beyond happy it's FRRRRIDAY!

Kulwinder Kaur has always felt her lungs constrict around cigarettes. After seeing classmates and friends pick up smoking during her college years, she went the other way, deciding to become a respiratory therapist.
"It bothered me," said the 29-year-old from Henrietta, "and I wanted to know what can be done to help people with breathing problems."
She earned an associate's degree in respiratory therapy from Erie Community College and has been employed at Rochester General Hospital since 2009. ...

'No quick fix' for New Road in Ilminster, says county's highways councillor
5:00pm Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News By Daniel Milligan
NO quick fix is on the cards for the re-opening of New Road in Ilminster, according to the county councillor in charge of highways for Somerset.
Residents in neighbouring villages say they are annoyed about a lack of information from Somerset County Council about what repair work is taking place and when the road will re-open.
The News put their questions to Cllr Harvey Siggs, who said: "We appreciate that the closure of this road is causing inconvenience and I would like to thank all affected for their continued patience.
"This is an extremely complex operation and I'm afraid there is no quick fix – safety has to be our priority in this situation.
"We are doing everything we can to assess the damage and then make the necessary repairs but this will take time.
"We have experienced the wettest winter on record and the damage at New Road is significant and requires specialist civil engineers to assess the damage and plan the repairs carefully."
The News understands the council is awaiting reports from geologists and highways bosses who need to give consideration to gas, water and electric utilities equipment under the road and ensure the stability of the houses next to it.
More than 100 people have signed the News' petition to fix the road as soon as it is safe and forms will remain in the Summervale doctor's surgery in Ilminster, Cottage Flowers and the town council offices until tomorrow (April 10).

North Jefferson News
— Stop if you've heard this before, but Alabama's Haylie McCleney is the Southeastern Conference Freshman Softball Player of the Week.
The former Mortimer Jordan standout and Morris native had another big week, as the top-ranked Crimson Tide stampeded through their own Easton Bama Bash tournament last week.
For the third straight week, McCleney led the Tide in hits and runs scored. She batted .611 with nine runs, two doubles, a home run, nine RBIs and four stolen bases.
McCleney had four multi-hit performances six games last week, including three games with three hits. She scored at least one run and reached base in all but one game and was named the Easton Bama Bash Tournament MVP for her efforts.
It's the second time this season that the SEC has given the award to McCleney. She won it in the first week of the season.

Recently, I happened to watch a news program that showed a processing plant for lobsters. The lobsters were being torn apart while they were still alive. How cruel.
Lobsters can feel pain. They have feelings.
If you take a lobster and place it on a counter at home, just pat the lobster's head and it will fall asleep. You can also pat the lobster's head and, with your hand, bring the lobster's tail upward. The tail will stay up while patting it.
I also find it cruel at restaurants and lobster pounds where staff just throw lobsters into a pot to cook. Those lobsters suffer and fight for their lives. So cruel. And people should not steam lobsters; that is also cruel.
The best way to cook lobsters is to place them head first, one at a time, in heavily boiling water. They die quickly.
I love lobsters, but I don't want them to suffer, so I do it in the most humane way. I wish others would. It is the proper way.

Roethlisberger's knee feels really, really, really good.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger underwent a procedure in June to clean out his meniscus, which shouldn't cause any mobility problems nor hold him out of training camp.
"It feels great, it feels better than ever, like it's a brand new knee and I feel younger than ever, I feel good," Roethlisberger told 7msport.com.
Laying it on a little thick, Ben?
By this time next year, the Steelers are expected to approach Roxburghshire (actually, it's Roethlisberger, but this is the result of my spell-check and it cracked me up) about a contract extension, largely to reduce his $18 million cap number in 2014.
Jerome Bettis should be in the Hall of Fame.
Shocking discovery: Jerome Bettis wasn't actually in the defensive huddles when Pittsburgh played Cincinnati. A massive shoulder and a controlled load of destruction, Bettis was one of the biggest pains in the Bengals arses. During his ten seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bettis was named to four Pro Bowl teams and one-time All-NFL Pro.
His greatest successes came against the Bengals. In 20 games played, Bettis generated 1,794 yards rushing and 17 touchdowns against Cincinnati -- that translates to an average 89.7 yards/game.
Once he finished his career, capped by a Super Bowl win in 2005, Bettis would generate 13,662 yards rushing (sixth all-time) and 91 rushing touchdowns (tied for 10th all-time).
Bettis has been named a Hall of Fame finalist every year since his eligibility went active in 2010, but he's never been enshrined. Coming from a Bengals fan that watched Bettis pound Cincinnati into the ground for ten years, Bettis should be in the Hall of Fame.
On the other hand, I'm not necessarily buying Hines Ward. At least not right now. But the numbers, as well as the smaller things he was accustomed to doing, present an interesting argument.
Rookie Jarvis Jones could start.
According to Len Pasquarelli (now with the National Football Post), the Pittsburgh Steelers are privately acknowledging that first-round rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones could start at outside linebacker this year.
Pittsburgh coaches and officials weren't exactly thrilled when first-round linebacker Jarvis Jones showed up for early offseason workouts with a hamstring injury, a problem that cropped up, he said, during his "pro day" at Georgia, and which caused him to miss some field-time with the Steelers. But the team has seen enough of the 17th overall pick since then to privately acknowledge that he could be that rarest of commodities: a rookie who actually starts for the Steelers at the prized outside linebacker spot. There's apparently a decent chance now that Jones can bump fourth-year veteran Jason Worilds (10 sacks in three seasons) as the heir apparent to James Harrison's old spot on the right side.
One big reason: Unlike most of the players Pittsburgh has developed at outside linebacker, Jones is a pure linebacker. The standard paradigm for the Steelers is to take an undersized college defensive end, then develop him for a year or two as a 3-4 linebacker. Jones will have some rough patches, for sure, but he won't have to make the switch that so many Steelers' stars have in the past.
According to Rotoworld, Jones would be the first defensive rookie to start since Kendrell Bell and Casey Hampton in 2001.
On the other hand, Jason Worilds was once viewed as the eventual James Harrison replacement but injuries have stalled that development, even opening the door for Jones. Behind the Steel Curtain analyzes.
This year, as we all know, is different. James Harrison is gone, and his putative replacement, Jason Worilds, has been frequently injured. Worilds' best chance to transfer the ROLB mantle to his own shoulders would have been last season, when Harrison was struggling to recover from knee surgery. But Worilds was out with a wrist injury for the entire pre-season, and by the time he was ready to play Harrison was back on the field, although it took a good bit more time before he was looking like himself. When Worilds has seen the field he hasn't been an embarrassment, but he hasn't by any means set the league on fire, and last year wasn't his finest.

Last night my wife and I went to a Buddist meditation class. The teacher talked about "the Equality of Self", the idea that I think "me" is the real self, but to someone else I am "other" and they are self. He talked about how if we treat everyone as important and understand that everyone wants to be happy, we will learn to treat people better. I believe that. I get really mad at people at work when the world isn't how I want it, I have to do a better job accepting things. The teacher also said that problems don't exist on their own, we make the problems important. Maybe they are just opportunities in disguise.
Then we meditated. We were supposed to clear our minds of everything. Forget our troubles, forget about the outside world. Imagine ourselfs surrounded by light. Then imagine ourselves as light, now only a shadow in the light. No thoughts at all. I am not so good at really clearing my mind of everything. I always count things or think about something. Sometimes a teacher will tell us to have a mantra and say it over and over until it doesn't mean anything.
I thought about my troubles at work and home, my life and everything that it isn't like I wish it was. Then I came upon a mantra. Almost spontaneously I started to say in my head, Zito, Zito, Zito. I imagined the release point of Zito's curveball in my head. I imagined the way he quickly pulls his arms over his head and back down in the windup. I started to wonder if Zito would do better in the late innings if he changed his windup so that by the 7th inning he hadn't lifted his arms over his head 100 times that game. Maybe that energy used to lift his arms all those times causes him to lose his stuff a few pitches earlier than he could have. Then I thought those thoughts were too cluttered and tried to back off and just focus Zito's left hand just at the moment of release. Over and over I have watched that hand release the ball, many times on TV from the centerfield camera of the coliseum with Zito wearing the white jersey and the high green socks and the yellow brim on his hat. In my meditative image it is a night game and the colors are bright. In my mind there was a lefty at the plate, his uniform is grey, but I can't really see who the other team is. It doesn't matter.
I thought about the times when Zito had snapped off the perfect curveball, and subconciously he knew it. He would sort of start to walk off the mound to his right almost as he releases the pitch. Zito knows he has just released the perfect pitch, it is already strike 3, the batter just doesn't know it yet.
I looked on Baseballreference.com today. Barry Zito is 13th on the career active ERA list. In the last 5 years he is #1 in starts. He ranks high on many season pitching stats every year since 2001. If he is not a #1 starter he certainly is a good starter. And at 28 he is younger than anyone on that best career ERA list except Santana, who is 27. Just some food for thought.
So I guess this is the end. Barry Zito is going to the highest bidder. Maybe it is not a problem but an opportunity for the A's to get another starter, or some other free agent. Maybe a big bat? Maybe this loss I feel for a guy not yet gone is misplaced, maybe it is an opportunity. But I don't share a lot of ANer's feelings that the A's need this or that to revamp the lineup. I feel the A's had a wonderful season and a really decent shot at winning the WS this year. It didn't happen, but when it turned out that the 83-win team won it all, it certainly appears Billy's right, it's a crapshoot. The A's do NOT stand pat from season to season. Players will come and go. But deep down I wonder if there is a reason why the A's pitchers are so good? I see that Lidle, Lilly, Foulke, Koch, Bradford, Hudson and Mulder all seemed to have about the best years of the careers as Athletics. People say it is the park, or the coaching. But you look at all the factors and besides the park with all its foul ground, what is constant is that Barry Zito has been in that rotation, he's pitched well and he hasn't missed a start. I just get the feeling that sort of quality has rubbed off on the others. And now it appears all but over. Surely the A's will be a quality team next year. Won't they? I just don't know.

It's no surprise Birmingham ranks high in a study about traffic congestion, but what is surprising is how much it's costing commuters.
From wasted time to drained gas tanks a new study from a nationally recognized traffic research group, says $458 million is going down the drain in Birmingham because of congestion.
"That's ridiculous," said Anna Reynolds of Birmingham.
According to the study done by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, in one year commuters stuck in Alabama traffic will waste $773 worth of gas, a number that surprised most commuters.
Camilo Zamora agreed. "That's absurd," he said.
Dr. Tim Lomax, who is head of the study, says that number is high.
"That ranks you 42nd in our study and you're the only 52nd largest area, so in essence you have a congestion level that's higher than your population would indicate," said Lomax.
And it's not just the $773 commuters are losing. Ty West with the Birmingham Business Journal says there is a loss of productivity from commuters being stuck in traffic, in addition to the affecting goods being shipped through our area. Many trucks also get stuck in the traffic, meaning the goods they're transporting are held up and not on the shelves to be sold.
Add all those factors in and Birmingham loses $458 million in year due to congestion.
"It's not shocking, it's unfortunate, not shocking," said Reynolds.
Atlanta, Nashville and Memphis all had worse congestion than Birmingham. Lomax says the construction along our roads have a lot to do with the problem. When the construction is over our number should come down.

A DeBary surfer suffers from the first shark bite of the season. A spokesperson for Volusia Co. Beach Patrol said the attack happened near the Inlet off New Smyrna Beach. "It felt kind of like a big dog was biting me," said Joshua White, 21.White said he was paddling out to surf on Saturday around 1:30 p.m. when a bull shark latched on to his hand. "He shook his head left and to the right about two to three times," said White. "Then he tried to re-grip on it. Once he tried to re-grip I was able to pull my hand out of his mouth."White then paddled back to shore using his one good hand. Two strangers rushed to help him. One of the men flagged down beach patrol. White was taken to the hospital. He needed 29 stitches."I was more annoyed than anything just because I was supposed to bartend a wedding that night," said White.He'll be off his board for six weeks."It sucks," he said. "I never sit down for more than an hour."Doctors said White suffered some tendon damage, but a bite can't keep a good surfer down. "Immediately, I just knew not to panic," said White.He said he learned that lesson in 2011 after a shark bit his dad while he was surfing in April of that year."After he was bit, we all were kind of stunned," said White. "And then now I'm bit so he just kind of laughs it off with me. We're just keeping it in the family."Both men vow to keep surfing, but plan to change one thing."I probably won't go on certain days," said White. "I probably won't surf in April."White is expected to make a full recovery. He told FOX 35 he will be ready to surf this summer.

Trust Projects
The South Florida National Parks Trust has provided more than $3 million to its partner parks since 2002 to support programs and projects in five critical areas: environmental education, resource protection, visitor services, volunteer activities and community outreach. Contributions to the Trust have made the following projects possible:
FY 2010 Projects
The South Florida National Parks Trust made grant payments of more than $1 million to its partner parks for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The 10 grants listed below represent a selection of the programs and projects funded during FY 2010.
Biscayne National Park
Education Program. Grant Amount: $45,000. Outcome: More than 2,800 South Florida school children participated in the park's education programs in FY 2010, the majority of whom (1,500+) spent time in the park on class field trips and overnight camps. The grant funding allowed the park to hire two seasonal rangers and pay for boat transportation.
Volunteer Program. Grant Amount: $24,000. Outcome: The park welcomed 380 students from 15 participating colleges and universities as part of its "alternative spring break" program in FY 2010. The students donated 3,500 hours of volunteer time to the park by cleaning beaches of marine debris in advance of turtle nesting season. The grant funding allowed to park to hire a seasonal ranger to coordinate volunteer activities and pay for boat transportation and debris removal.
Biscayne BioBlitz Event. Grant Amount: $10,000. Outcome: More than 2,500 people participated in a 24-hour inventory of species living in the park, including more than 200 scientists and 1,300 school children. The event was organized by the National Park Service and National Geographic Society. The Trust was one of the principal sponsors.
Everglades National Park
Education Program. Grant Amount: $20,000. Outcome: The free bus transportation provided by this grant allowed 29 schools from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods to participate in the park's education programs. Grant funding paid for 75 buses which brought 3,775 students to the park.
Lichen Project. Grant Amount: $4,200. Outcome: The park purchased two microscopes to support an ongoing inventory of lichens found in the park. The project is led by volunteers who recruit students and other volunteers to participate in the project.
Nike Missile Base Tours. Grant Amount: $4,960. Outcome: The park expanded its schedule of tours for the Nike Missile Base site within the park. More than 3,000 people took the tour in FY 2010. The grant funding paid for a student intern to lead tours.
Big Cypress National Preserve
Education Program. Grant Amount: $25,000. Outcome: More than 6,000 Collier County school children participated in the preserve's education programs in FY 2010, including 3,200 students who explored the Big Cypress during classroom field trips. The grant funding allowed the preserve to hire seasonal rangers to staff the program.
March for Parks Event. Grant Amount: $5,000. Outcome: The annual event invites families from low-income neighborhoods in Miami-Dade, Broward and Collier Counties to spend the day in one of South Florida's national parks. Approximately 650 people participated in the event, held in Big Cypress in March 2010.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Key West Visitor Center. Grant Amount: $28,725. Outcome: The park hired a student intern to staff the park visitor center in Key West, deliver programs in local schools and coordinate student trips to the park funded by the Trust.
Curriculum Guide. Grant Amount: $7,000. Outcome: The park has developed a curriculum guide that teachers throughout the Florida Keys can use in the classroom to teach students about the marine environment and cultural history of the Dry Tortugas.
Previous Projects funded by the SFNPT in South Florida's National Parks:
Wayside Exhibits in Everglades National Park: Visitors can learn about the Everglades in English and Spanish by visiting nine new wayside exhibits installed along the main park road with money provided by the Trust.
Underwater Marine Heritage Trail: Six submerged shipwrecks in Biscayne National Park are being linked in an underwater trail for divers and snorkelers, with detailed site maps and educational guides for the public.
Saving the Civil War era cannons at Fort Jefferson: Efforts are underway to restore the massive cannons that defended Fort Jefferson from attack in the 19th century. The Trust is helping to underwrite this effort.
Underwater Camera at Shark Valley: Visitors to Shark Valley – one of the premiere places to see wildlife in the Everglades – can look for wildlife under water with a submerged camera installed behind the visitor center.
Sea Turtle Protection Program: Biscayne National Park and the Trust are working to protect sea turtle nests inside the park while educating the public about the threats posed by predators and marine debris.
Recruiting Volunteers: The Trust donated a 21-foot boat to Biscayne National Park to support the park's volunteer program. The boat will help the park train volunteers and put them to work throughout the park.
Wildlife Viewing Scopes at Flamingo: Everglades National Park installed two wildlife viewing scopes in Flamingo overlooking Florida Bay with funding provided by the Trust.
Junior Ranger Program: South Florida's national parks expanded the popular Junior Ranger program for children and families by developing new materials in Spanish and Haitian Creole with help from the Trust.
By supporting these and other projects, the Trust seeks to foster a greater appreciation for our national parks and promote a legacy of stewardship in South Florida. You can support our work on behalf of South Florida's national parks by making a donation today.

Zionsville —
Last week's snow storm — on the first day of winter 2012-13 — forced one local school district to close, and delayed classes at two others, while police agencies responded to dozens of accidents.
The storm, with near hurricane-force wind gusts overnight on Thursday, Dec. 20, and Friday, Dec. 21, left a dangerous layer of ice and snow on roads and sidewalks.
Between 9 p.m. Thursday and 6 a.m. Friday, police agencies responded to 32 traffic accidents and 45 vehicles that slid off icy roads, Boone County Sheriff's Office Corporal Chris Burcham said.
