Kidney and Urologic Diseases

On this page:
If you have advanced and permanent kidney failure, kidney transplantation may be the treatment option that allows you to live much like you lived before your kidneys failed. Since the 1950s, when the first kidney transplants were performed, much has been learned about how to prevent rejection and minimize the side effects of medicines.
But transplantation is not a cure; it's an ongoing treatment that requires you to take medicines for the rest of your life. And the wait for a donated kidney can be years long.
A successful transplant takes a coordinated effort from your whole health care team, including your nephrologist, transplant surgeon, transplant coordinator, pharmacist, dietitian, and social worker. But the most important members of your health care team are you and your family. By learning about your treatment, you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible results, and you can lead a full, active life.
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
Kidney transplantation is a procedure that places a healthy kidney from another person into your body. This one new kidney takes over the work of your two failed kidneys.
A surgeon places the new kidney inside your lower abdomen and connects the artery and vein of the new kidney to your artery and vein. Your blood flows through the new kidney, which makes urine, just like your own kidneys did when they were healthy. Unless they are causing infection or high blood pressure, your own kidneys are left in place.
Kidney transplantation.
The transplantation process begins when you learn that your kidneys are failing and you must start to consider your treatment options. Whether transplantation is to be among your options will depend on your specific situation. Transplantation isn't for everyone. Your doctor may tell you that you have a condition that would make transplantation dangerous or unlikely to succeed.
If your doctor sees transplantation as an option, the next step is a thorough medical evaluation at a transplant hospital. The pretransplant evaluation may require several visits over the course of several weeks or even months. You'll need to have blood drawn and x rays taken. You'll be tested for blood type and other matching factors that determine whether your body will accept an available kidney.
The medical team will want to see whether you're healthy enough for surgery. Cancer, a serious infection, or significant cardiovascular disease would make transplantation unlikely to succeed. In addition, the medical team will want to make sure that you can understand and follow the schedule for taking medicines.
If a family member or friend wants to donate a kidney, he or she will need to be evaluated for general health and to see whether the kidney is a good match. (See the "Organ Donation" section.)
If the medical evaluation shows that you're a good candidate for a transplant but you don't have a family member or friend who can donate a kidney, you'll be put on the transplant program's waiting list to receive a kidney from a deceased donor-someone who has just died.
Every person waiting for a deceased donor organ is registered with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), which maintains a centralized computer network linking all regional organ gathering organizations (known as organ procurement organizations, or OPOs) and transplant centers. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a private nonprofit organization, administers OPTN under a contract with the Federal Government. (See the "Resources" section.)
UNOS rules allow patients to register with multiple transplant centers. Each transplant center will probably require a separate medical evaluation, even if a patient is already registered at another center.
Observers of OPTN operations have raised the concern that people in certain regions of the country have to wait longer than others because allocation policies for some organs give preference to patients within the donor's region. Kidneys, however, are assigned to the best match regardless of geographic region. The Federal Government continues to monitor policies and regulations to ensure that every person waiting for an organ has a fair chance. The key to making waiting times shorter is to increase the number of donated organs.
How long you'll have to wait depends on many things but is primarily determined by the degree of matching between you and the donor. Some people wait several years for a good match, while others get matched within a few months.
While you're on the waiting list, notify the transplant center of changes in your health. Also, let the transplant center know if you move or change telephone numbers. The center will need to find you immediately when a kidney becomes available.
OPOs are responsible for identifying potential organs for transplant and coordinating with the national network. The 69 regional OPOs are all UNOS members. When a deceased donor kidney becomes available, the OPO notifies UNOS, and a computer-generated list of suitable recipients is created. Suitability is initially based on two factors:
Blood type. Your blood type (A, B, AB, or O) must be compatible with the donor's blood type.
HLA factors. HLA stands for human leukocyte antigen, a genetic marker located on the surface of your white blood cells. You inherit a set of three antigens from your mother and three from your father. A higher number of matching antigens increases the chance that your kidney will last for a long time.
If you're selected on the basis of the first two factors, a third is evaluated:
Antibodies. Your immune system may produce antibodies that act specifically against something in the donor's tissues. To see whether this is the case, a small sample of your blood will be mixed with a small sample of the donor's blood in a tube. If no reaction occurs, you should be able to accept the kidney. Your transplant team might use the term negative cross-match to describe this lack of reaction.
If you have a living donor, you'll schedule the operation in advance. You and your donor will be operated on at the same time, usually in side-by-side rooms. One team of surgeons will perform the nephrectomy-that is, the removal of the kidney from the donor-while another prepares the recipient for placement of the donated kidney.
If you're on a waiting list for a deceased donor kidney, you must be ready to hurry to the hospital as soon as a kidney becomes available. Once there, you'll give a blood sample for the antibody cross-match test. If you have a negative cross-match, it means that your antibodies don't react and the transplantation can proceed.
You'll be given a general anesthetic to make you sleep during the operation, which usually takes 3 or 4 hours. The surgeon will make a small cut in your lower abdomen. The artery and vein from the new kidney will be attached to your artery and vein. The ureter from the new kidney will be connected to your bladder.
Often, the new kidney will start making urine as soon as your blood starts flowing through it, but sometimes a few weeks pass before it starts working.
As after any major surgery, you'll probably feel sore and groggy when you wake up. However, many transplant recipients report feeling much better immediately after surgery. Even if you wake up feeling great, you'll need to stay in the hospital for about a week to recover from surgery, and longer if you have any complications.
Your body's immune system is designed to keep you healthy by sensing "foreign invaders," such as bacteria, and rejecting them. But your immune system will also sense that your new kidney is foreign. To keep your body from rejecting it, you'll have to take drugs that turn off, or suppress, your immune response. You may have to take two or more of these immunosuppressant medicines, as well as medications to treat other health problems. Your health care team will help you learn what each pill is for and when to take it. Be sure that you understand the instructions for taking your medicines before you leave the hospital.
If you've been on hemodialysis, you'll find that your posttransplant diet is much less restrictive. You can drink more fluids and eat many of the fruits and vegetables you were previously told to avoid. You may even need to gain a little weight, but be careful not to gain weight too quickly and avoid salty foods that can lead to high blood pressure
You can help prevent rejection by taking your medicines and following your diet, but watching for signs of rejection-like fever or soreness in the area of the new kidney or a change in the amount of urine you make-is important. Report any such changes to your health care team.
Even if you do everything you're supposed to do, your body may still reject the new kidney and you may need to go back on dialysis. Unless your health care team determines that you're no longer a good candidate for transplantation, you can go back on the waiting list for another kidney.
Immunosuppressants can weaken your immune system, which can lead to infections. Some drugs may also change your appearance. Your face may get fuller; you may gain weight or develop acne or facial hair. Not all patients have these problems, though, and diet and makeup can help.
Immunosuppressants work by diminishing the ability of immune cells to function. In some patients, over long periods of time, this diminished immunity can increase the risk of developing cancer. Some immunosuppressants cause cataracts, diabetes, extra stomach acid, high blood pressure, and bone disease. When used over time, these drugs may also cause liver or kidney damage in a few patients.
Treatment for kidney failure is expensive, but Federal health insurance plans pay much of the cost, usually up to 80 percent. Often, private insurance or state programs pay the rest. Your social worker can help you locate resources for financial assistance. For more information, see the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) fact sheet Financial Help for Treatment of Kidney Failure.
UNOS maintains a website called Transplant Living to help patients learn about their treatment and find resources. The website includes a page that lists organizations that provide financial assistance-available at www.transplantliving.org/before-the-transplant/financing-a-transplant/.
Most transplanted kidneys come from people who have died. However, the number of people waiting for kidneys has increased in recent years, while the number of kidneys available from deceased donors has remained constant. The result is a shortage of kidneys and a longer waiting time for people with kidney failure.
Many suitable kidneys go unused because family members of potential donors don't know their loved one's wishes. People who wish to donate their organs should talk about this issue with their families. Several organizations, including UNOS and the National Kidney Foundation (see the "Resources" section), provide organ donor cards for people who wish to make this life-preserving gift when they die. A properly completed organ donor card notifies medical officials that you've decided to donate your organs. In most states, you can indicate your desire to be an organ donor on your driver's license.
The immunosuppressants and other drugs you must take after your transplant will be a large part of your medical expenses. Most drug manufacturers have patient assistance programs giving discounts to patients who can show that they can't afford the cost of their prescribed medications. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America publishes the Directory of Prescription Drug Patient Assistance Programs, available at www.pparx.org. To request a directory through the mail, write to
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America1100 Fifteenth Street NWWashington, DC 20005
An organization called the Medicine Program offers help in finding and applying for free medicines supplied by pharmaceutical companies. To request assistance, obtain an application form, available on the website or through the mail, and list the medicines you need. Send the application back with a $5 processing fee for each medicine you request. If the Medicine Program fails to qualify you to receive the medicine, your processing fee will be returned.
A growing number of transplanted kidneys are donated by living family members or friends. Potential donors need to be tested to make sure that donating a kidney won't endanger their health, as well as for matching factors. Most people, however, can donate a kidney with little risk.
A kidney from a living donor often has advantages over a deceased donor kidney:
People who receive a kidney from a family member or friend don't have to wait until a kidney becomes available. Living donation allows for greater preparation and for the operation to be scheduled at a convenient time.
Kidneys from family members are more likely to be good matches, although there's no guarantee.
Kidneys from living donors don't need to be transported from one site to another, so the kidney is in better condition when it's transplanted.
Living donation helps people waiting for kidneys from deceased donors by lowering the number of people on the waiting list.
Diseases of the kidney are found more frequently in racial and ethnic minority populations in the United States than in the general population. African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Pacific Islander Americans are three times more likely to suffer from kidney failure than Americans of European descent. Successful transplantation is often enhanced if organs are matched between members of the same ethnic and racial group. A shortage of organs donated by minorities can contribute to longer waiting periods for transplants for minorities.
The National Minority Organ/Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP), with the support of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Office of Research on Minority Health and the NIDDK, is the first national program to empower minority communities to promote minority donation and transplantation, as well as good health habits. In turn, this effort should improve the chances for a well-matched organ among all those waiting for a transplant.
The NIDDK, through its Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases, supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for patients with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including patients who receive a transplanted kidney.
The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation. The program seeks to increase kidney graft and patient survival and to maximize quality of life.
The NIH Organ/Tissue Transplant Center, located at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD, is a collaborative project of NIH, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the Naval Medical Research Center, and the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami. The site includes a state-of-the-art clinical transplant ward, operating facility, and outpatient clinic designed for the study of new drugs or techniques that may improve the success of organ and tissue transplants.
The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about the use of dialysis and transplantation to treat kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by NIDDK in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report, which characterizes the total population of people being treated for kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatment modalities. The report also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues.

Hi Folks.
I have a college assignment to do, deadline next week 4th January. It's a website linked to a MySQL database created in XAMPP. I'm using PHP to handle the data being passed from the webform but after three days of coding and recoding and Recoding and RECODING the PHP file, it is just not working! Not only is my database table remaining empty, but the PHP is not even responding with giving back error messages as to why things are not working!
I'm sorry to say it, long story, but the college has a lot to answer for with regards to the problems I'm experiencing. Despite having a PHP project land on my lap, the college did NOT teach PHP and I had to spend time and money in trying to learn it. It has NOT been fun, I'm not confident in my knowledge of the language, and I'm very annoyed at the college over this whole situation!
Since my PHP is not working, not even responding to tell me why it's not working, and time running out, I'm now trying to get help. Below are my two files:
<form action="Insert.php" method="post">
Email Address:

<input type="text" name="email" />

Password:

<input type="password" name="password" />

<input type="button" name="register" value="Register" />

//Initiate the database.
$mysqli = new mysqli();
//Connect to the database.
//Select the Our Family database.
//Insert the new information
mysql_query("INSERT INTO Login (Email_Address, Password)
VALUES (email, password)");
//Close the database.
For some reason this does nothing at all!! A call for help to my fellow classmates saw one of them send me this new PHP code:
// replace your insert.php file with this
$error = 'Sorry but there seems to have been a problem connecting to our database!';
mysql_connect('localhost', 'ofuser', 'ofpw') or die($error);
$error = 'Sorry but there has been a problem connecting to our database!';
mysql_select_db('ourfamily')or die($error);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `Login` (Email_Address, Password) VALUES (email, password)"); // I think this might be wrong. Usually when you send a value you need to put $ (dollar sign) before it. But try that anyway.
This, too, does NOTHING! With zero feedback as to what's going on and a deadline approaching, I need to try and get some answers. Does anyone here have any idea why this is not working??? Or at least give me some idea as to why the PHP doesn't even seem to respond with error messages telling me why it is not working??? It's totally infurating to code and recode over and over again, it not working, but getting no feedback as to WHY it's not working !!
Any input much appreciated.

Elijah Wood's performance is my nominee for the Narrators' Hall of Fame. Wood's unself-conscious reading doesn't sound like a reading at all. He creates an entire world filled with people who cross class and color lines. His accents range from British to faux-British to all manner of regional affectations, twangs, and drawls. Wood's delivery makes Mark Twain's delicious wit and twisty language sound completely natural, especially as Huck invents plausible words to suit the moment. The journey down the Mississippi with Huck and Jim is pure pleasure, as the boy who won't be "sivilized" and the runaway slave encounter scoundrels, slip out of scrapes, and invent outrageous tales. The listening couldn't be better if Huck read the story himself.
Audible is pleased to announce the premiere of an exciting new series, Audible Signature Classics, featuring literature's greatest stories, performed by accomplished stars handpicked for their ability to interpret each work in a new and refreshing way. The first book in the series is Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, performed by Elijah Wood.
Ernest Hemingway said, "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author's death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this brand new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain's original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure. Best of all, the immediacy of Wood's energetic reading sweeps listeners up and makes them feel as though they're along for the ride, as Huck and Jim push their raft toward freedom.
Stay tuned for more one-of-a-kind performances from actors Kenneth Branagh, David Hyde Pierce, Leelee Sobieski, and more, only from Audible Signature Classics.
Listen to more Audible Signature Classics.

"Worthy "signature" premiere"
Mr. Wood's narration starts slowly but builds in both intensity and humor. An hour or so in to the book, he hits his stride and never misses a beat from then on. I downloaded when it first became available although I thought that Elijah Wood was an odd choice for narrator. Instead I found he was a brilliant choice. The narration ranks with the best of Jeff Woodman; this is as good as it gets. The definitive version on audio which will probably never be surpassed.
"Wonderfully Narrated"
I already owned a different narration of "Huck Finn" when this one came out. After listening to the sample of Elijah Wood reading I had to buy this one. Was it worth it? It certainly was! What a difference an actor makes. His dialects and voices were wonderful and I was on that river with Huck and Jim.
"Masterful Narration"
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is nonpareil, but Elijah Wood's dramatization verges on genius. His style brings nuance to the fore that was simply unavailable to me when I read the book (silently) to myself. It added color to an already colorful peice of work. Congratulations, Mr. Wood.
"Elijah is truly amazing"
This is turning out to be one of my favorite audio books. Elijah's done an amazing job bringing this tale to life.
"Full of rich Americana"
This absolute classic is brilliantly narrated by Wood who uses his talent to the extreme. I was duly impressed at Wood's lingual skills in navigating the dialect and accents. For those who have written reviews detesting the use of the "N" word, that's simply how they spoke in Twain's time. This novel brings you back to the lazy days of the mid 1800s in America and all that goes with it. If you paid attention in high school or college US History class, you'll understand the language of the time. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was on my high school reading list and I was hooked when I read it. I had read it twice more after school and was thrilled when it came out on audible.com. I was not disappointed by the treatment the audio transformation gave it. Highly recommend.
"You'll like it."
I hadn't read Huck Finn since I was a boy and had forgotten just how wonderful a book is. Wood does a very nice job reading - he handles the different accents quite well. I enjoyed it, so I reccommend it.
Austin Reader-Listener
Elijah Wood is very talented. Huck Finn is always gonna be a good listen, but the nuances Elijah Wood uses in his narration and the energy in his voice make this one of the most enjoyable audio books I have ever listened to. Make sure you listen carefully to Elijah's treatment of the dialect for "the King!" Check it out - you won't be disappointed!
"Well read - Interesting Book"
I enjoyed listening to this book. It's shocking to hear the slang, the use of the n-word, and the prejudice demonstrated here by so many of the characters. But it is clear that Mark Twain was trying to capture time in a bottle, showing the language, customs, popular beliefs, However, the authordemonstrates his disapproval of the prejudice by the way the story unfolds. When Huck acts most prejudiced, he is trying to blend in with the crowd in order to help Jim. Jim ends up being the most noble character of all, with his self-less actions and deep sense of right and wrong. Elijah Wood was spot on with the reading. Worth the listen.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Outstanding Adventure"
This tale is funny, unassuming, timeless. Worth a listen whether to rediscover Huck & Jim travelling down the river or to read/listen for a class. Elijah Wood emotes a capricious air to Huck and flows seamlessly between Pap, Jim, and all the other characters. Happy with purchase.
"Well worth listening to!"
I probably read Huckleberry Fin in High School, but that was 40 years ago. I was curious how well Elijah Wood would narrate the book and though it was one of the BEST books I have purchased so far. Elijah was very, very good at capturing the dialects and I did appreciate the original text, N word and all. I highly recommend this book. It is a classic that anyone would enjoy listening to.
"A great adventure story"
In its own right, this book is a simple, first-person adventure story and greatly enjoyable. Written in 1884, it incorporates the attitudes and culture of the time and as it is set in the deep south during a time of racial inequality, there are attitudes, expressions and words used that may shock or offend some people. This book is now a historical reference to a time gone by. The current debate regarding one US publishers decision to remove racial terminology from it has brought this book into the news for all the wrong reasons. People should be allowed to witness history unsullied by current obsessions with political correctness - witnessing both right and wrong is what educates us.
The narration by Elijah Wood is excellent. His youthful voice and excellent characterisation make this a great listening experience.
"a great reading!"
of course it's still 'huckleberry finn', a wonderful novel,alive with characters and colour and action.but this fine reading made it all the more enjoyable as the varying accents and speech rhythms are all part of the book's charm.
"Classic evocation of a particular era"
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great evocation of a particular era in American history. The attitudes displayed, especially towards race and slavery, are shocking to modern ears and I had to keep reminding myself that the book was not only set, but also written in a very different time and place. I loved the variety of characters, all very real yet memorably larger than life, and I'm sure Elijah Wood's expert narration was a major part of my enjoyment. His portrayal of all the dialects and accents was fabulous. I think even Dickens would have been proud of the King and the Duke! Having not read any Mark Twain as a child, I expect some of the excitement of the adventures was lost on me – I did get a little bored by the intricacies of the plot at Aunt Sally's – but the major part of the book detailing Huck's escape from his abusive father and his and Jim's journey down the river had me completely hooked and even a little envious at times.
"Huck Finn"
It's been a long time since I read Huckleberry Finn, and I had forgotten how much depth there was in the novel, and how much Mark Twain used it to attack the issues and attitudes related to slavery in the Southern States. The movingly, if unsentimentally depicted friendship between Huck and Jim, whom he helps to escape from slavery, and Huck's ruminations on how very sinful he must be to 'steal' Jim from Miss Watson are, even now, powerful indictments against racism.
Elijah Wood is an ideal narrator for this tale, which is, more than anything, good fun.
"The Best ."
The Best X x .
The mellow yet utterly adventorous voice o' Elij' Wood .
Yes .
The Best - along with the wit & the Wisdom .
"Deep South in your ears!"
Brilliantly read by Elijah wood. Got the accent spot on i reckon. A little difficult to listen to in places and the language and wording drags a little but it's a classic book and thoroughly recommend :)
Absolutely wonderful. Beautifully narrated - a stellar performance by Elijah Wood who brought the story to life.
"Very Good Narration!"
It was very well narrated.
I have not but this one us very good.
For me it took 3 sittings, about 3 hours each.
"Great read"
Everyone should read this book ,
And Elijah Wood dose a fantastic job reading this book ,
I think people should listen to this .
"A slow, meandering journey"
The performance is great and really brings all the characters alive with their distinctive Southern voices. The story, however, and I feel churlish in admitting this, had me a little bored at times. This is one of those I wanted to read and thereby cross it off the "books to read before you die" and am glad I have...but equally am glad to have finished it.

While only 32 percent of home heating fires involve space heaters, they are involved in 79 percent of home heating fire deaths, according to the new report Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment released today by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Heating equipment continues to be the second leading cause of home fires behind cooking and the second leading cause of home fire deaths behind smoking.
NFPA is urging caution and asking the public to practice safe heating behaviors as the peak time for home heating fires continues; half of all home heating fires occurred in December, January and February, 2003-2007.
"Half of fatal home space heater fires started because something was too close to the heater and ignited. Keep heaters and things that can burn at least three feet apart," said Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of communications. "Heating fires and the deaths they cause can usually be prevented with awareness and a few simple actions."

By MARY BERNARDUintah Basin News Service
A proposed water supply pipeline project could threaten compromised flows into and out of Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers published a notice of intent in the federal register to prepare an environmental impact statement to pipe 250,000 acre-feet of water annually from the Green River and the reservoir.
The regional watershed supply project is the inspiration of Aaron Million of the Million Conservation Resource Group.
"This will not be a good thing," indicated Bob Leake, regional water rights engineer. "We already have times when we operate below minimal flows on the Green River now."
The proposed project would take water from the Green River system at two withdrawal facilities under a priority right. Water supplies would be delivered through a 560-mile long pipeline to the Front Range of Colorado on a "perpetual basis."
According to the register filing, "the water would be obtained from the Green River as part of the unused portion of water allocated to the states of Wyoming and Colorado under the Upper Colorado River Compact" of 1922.
Under the compact, five states of the Upper Colorado River Basin receive a portion of 7.5 million acre-feet of water per year.
The states include Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming.
But shortages already occur. Water appropriations have exceeded supply, which depends primarily on the availability of snowmelt.
"Flaming Gorge already operates at minimum flows, which means we barely break even," said Leake.
The reservoir is never full and managers struggle to maintain water levels. That could also affect the water flow down the Green River clear to Lake Powell.
Leake explained that the reservoir operates for two singular reasons; "first, for hydroelectric power and second, to protect the endangered fish on the river."
Reduced flows would likely impact the Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker, humpback chub and bonytail, which are endangered fish species.
Once thriving species, they are now managed by the Upper Colorado River endangered fish recovery program and monitored under a three-state implementation plan.
However, the Million Conservation Resource Group project does not consider endangered fish as "potential water users."
Project designers anticipate 25,000 acre-feet of water would be delivered annually to the Platte River Basin in Wyoming and 225,000 acre-feet to the Platte River and Arkansas River Basin in Colorado.
The Million Conservation Resource Group proposes to fund the project privately but will have to cross federal and state land to deliver the water. A proposed alignment would conform to the I-80 corridor in southern Wyoming. Million's Group is seeking permits from the Bureau of Reclamation to withdraw water from Flaming Gorge and approval to cross public lands with the pipeline.
Public scoping meetings in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming are scheduled to address the proposed project. Written comments will be accepted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers until May 19.

Home sales in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties declined sharply during the first quarter from a year ago.
In Jefferson County, first-quarter home sales dropped by 27 percent, or 35 units, from 165 to 130, according to the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors. St. Lawrence County home sales decreased by 42 percent, or 30 units, from 101 to 71, according to the county Board of Realtors.
In Lewis County, however, sales jumped by 20 percent, or 6 units, from 30 to 36.
The prolonged north country winter had a tangible effect on first-quarter sales in Jefferson County, said Lance M. Evans, executive director of the Jefferson-Lewis and St. Lawrence County boards. In Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties, first quarter sales dipped close to where they were in 2011, before sales climbed the last two years.
We had the third snowiest winter in Watertown, Mr. Evans said. And this one, once it got going later in the season, just kept coming. And I think that discouraged people from looking and coming into the area, because they just couldnt get here. But what Im hearing now is that things are picking up again.
Another reason for the decrease in home sales, he said, is the influx of rental housing complexes in the Watertown area in recent years, built to accommodate strong housing demand of Fort Drums military population.
New rental product that has come on the market is still having an impact, Mr. Evans said. It takes a while for people to close on a house, where they can close on an apartment a lot faster even though the price could be a lot less to buy than rent. Renting has a convenience factor for anyone moving into the area.
Though not as greatly affected by Fort Drum, realtors in St. Lawrence County also saw a lag in first quarter sales compared with last year because of the long, harsh winter, Mr. Evans said.
First-quarter median home prices fell compared with those of a year ago in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties. The median was down by 11 percent, or $16,750, from $152,000 to $135,250 in Jefferson County. In St. Lawrence County, the median also fell by 11 percent, or $8,000, from $76,000 to $68,000. The median increased slightly in Lewis County over the same period, jumping by $1,000 from $97,500 to $98,500.
Statewide, home sales decreased during the first quarter compared with a year ago by 1.8 percent, or 353 units, from 19,143 to 18,790, according to the New York State Association of Realtors. The first-quarter statewide median sales price was $227,000, up 5.1 percent, or $11,000, from the 2013 first quarter median of $216,000.
Sellers seemed most affected by the severe winter weather as indicated by the 7.6-percent inventory reduction, Duncan MacKenzie, CEO of the state realtors association, said in a prepared statement. New Yorks realtors expect market activity to rise along with the temperature as continued buyer demand and sales price gains entice sellers to list their homes.

Monday was opening day for Ohio's deer-gun season.
Hunters in the Buckeye State are expected to harvest an estimated 85,000 deer.
In some communities, like Mentor, urban hunting has been going on since early October.
Many communities in Northeast Ohio allow bow hunting in their city limits to help manage deer populations.
Ohio Division of Wildlife officer Jesse Janosik said "It's population control. It's just like hunting out here. It's regulated through us, it works."
In some communities where urban hunting is allowed, police departments have seen up to a 400 percent drop in deer-vehicle accidents.

A delicate crepelike pancake folds like an envelope around tangy lemon curd in this pretty brunch dish from Abilene's Victorian Inn in Kansas. The whipped sour cream topping is a breeze to make.
Mini Egg Pastries with Bearnaise Sauce [9]
At Cold Spring Inn in Hubertus, Wisconsin, Kari and Jerry Munley serve these elegant brunch pastries with cinnamon rolls and fruit. The herby bearnaise sauce is a bit fussy to make compared to purchased hollandaise sauce, but you'll notice a real difference in flavor.

Butternut Squash and Apple Salad [21]
Sweet squash and apple pair with sharp Gorgonzola and tangy dressing in this autumn salad from Black Star Farm in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The dressing calls for verjus, a tart pressed grape juice. You can order verjust online or find it as specialty stores, but wine vinegar makes a good substitute.
Pumpkin Bread [25]
At Burchell's White Hill Farmhouse Inn in Minden, Nebraska, Bob and Linda Ard make this moist spiced bread using homegrown heirloom pumpkins, but this version of their recipe uses canned puree.

ADAMS Call the Watertown girls lacrosse team the comeback kids on this day.
The Cyclones rallied from deficits both in regulation and in overtime to edge South Jefferson, 10-9, on Wednesday in a showdown for supremacy in the Frontier League.
Morgan Cadwell and Morgan Exford each scored three goals to propel the Cyclones, with Exford scoring in the final minute to force overtime and Cadwell completing the comeback by tallying the winning goal in the final seconds of the second overtime.
We already knew that this was going to be a tough game to begin with, Cadwell said. But we had a very good practice the day before, and the girls just stayed motivated the whole time. We were down for most of the game, but we didnt give up and we kept going hard thats what were really good at.
Watertown (9-1), which also edged South Jefferson (8-2, 4-2) earlier in the season by a goal, strengthened its hold on first place by improving to 7-0 in the league.
It feels awful good, Watertown coach Tim Burr said. Because whenever you can come back on a very good team like South Jefferson, its a good thing. There were plenty of times where we could have hung it up ... I felt like in both games, whoever has the last possession is going to win the game.
The Cyclones, who trailed by four goals twice in the second half, scored the final three goals in regulation to draw even.
After Clarissa Perry converted on a free-position attempt to provide South Jefferson with an 8-5 edge with 10 minutes, 30 seconds left, the Spartans were held to only one goal the rest of the way.
We struggled getting the ball in the second half, South Jefferson coach Jen Williams said. They did a very good job of maintaining possession and creating opportunities. We overplayed the ball a few times and it cost us. Their execution at the end of the game was very good, and they did a great job of getting the ball.
After Ashley Flick finished off a pass from Morgan Girardi with 8:59 to play, Girardi then scored on a free-position shot with 3:06 left to pull Watertown within 8-7.
Exford then drew a free-position bid and converted with 37 seconds left in regulation, as the Cyclones drew even at 8-8.
The first time we played them, we were down 4-0 in the first half and came back and won, Exford said. I think we stay motivated we dont collapse as a team we push harder to get better and work better.
The Spartans seized the initiative in the first three-minute overtime as Perry moved in and scored on a partial breakaway with 57 seconds left.
I told the girls during the last timeout I think were fine, weve got to have possessions and just keep winning ground balls, Burr said. I think weve got girls who are just going to continue to play no matter what the score is or what the situation is. Theyre tough girls who really like to keep battling.
Then, with South Jefferson shorthanded because of a penalty call, Watertown struck for two man-advantage goals in the final minute of the second overtime. Jill Girardi scored a goal with 46 seconds remaining and Cadwell followed with the deciding goal by converting on a free-position opportunity with eight seconds left.
The only thing going through my mind was to make that goal because there wasnt much time left on the clock, Cadwell said.
Goalie Christina Matthewson made two saves for the Cyclones.
Morgan Alexander and Stephanie Green each tallied two goals and an assist for the Spartans and Mallory Davis scored twice.
Courtney Ziegler finished with four saves for South Jefferson, including several clutch stops in the second half.
She definitely kept us in the game, Williams said of Ziegler.
The second-place Spartans had won six consecutive games after they were edged, 10-9, by Watertown on April 10.
Its our second loss and theyve both been by one goal, Williams said. At this point you either learn from your mistakes and continue through the season. Weve got some tough games ahead of us and I think this group of kids is young, but they work hard and I think well continue to work hard.

Veteran Chrysler executive to lead management of pension and related assets
CHICAGO (Oct. 9, 2009) – Exelon Corporation today announced that it has named Douglas J. Brown senior vice president and chief investment officer, effective Nov. 16.

Bessie Smith
(1894-1937) Singer
Bessie Smith was born on April 15, 1894, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her career began in 1912 when she sang in a show with Ma Rainey. Her first recording, "Downhearted Blues", established her as the most successful black vocalist of her time. More than any other performer, she was responsible for introducing the blues into the mainstream of American popular music. She recorded regularly until 1928, touring both the North and the South, and appearing in the 1929 film St. Louis Blues. The Great Depression of the 1930's was tough on the recording and entertainment industry, and Smith's career went into a decline. Matters weren't helped by her increasingly frequent episodes of binge drinking. She made her last recording in 1933. After a three year hiatus in performing, she again began to appear in clubs and shows, but died before another recording session could be arranged. In all, she made over two hundred recordings, including some famous duets with Louis Armstrong.
It was commonly asserted that Ma Rainey initiated Bessie Smith into lesbian sex, though there is no hard evidence for this. What is known is the Smith frequently got into trouble with her jealous second husband, Jack Gee, over her affairs with women such as Lillian Simpson, a chorus girl in Smith's touring show, Harlem Frolics. Like Rainey, Smith sang songs with explicit lesbian content such as "It's Dirty But Good" from 1930.
Smith was famous for her excessive appetites – for home-cooked Southern food, for moonshine, and for the tenderloin districts of the cities she performed in. Bessie Smith died in an automobile accident on September 26, 1937 in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
