Land Use
Human Population
Indian occupation and European settlement of the Niangua Watershed are described in The Big Niangua River by Glenn "Boone" Skinner (1979). The first native Americans that French and Spanish explorers, traders, and trappers encountered in the watershed were the Osage (Circa 1780). Skinner reported that many Osage villages were strategically placed throughout the watershed, often where tributaries joined the main stem. The Osage were forced from Missouri to Oklahoma and relinquished their homeland by treaty in 1808. Soon Algonquin tribes, who were fleeing settlers to the east, moved into the area until they were evicted by treaty in 1820. Skinner related that the first permanent European settlers in the watershed established their home at the mouth of the Niangua River sometime between 1827 and 1833. Only poor roads existed so subsequent settlers poled rafts upriver to settle upstream sites in the watershed. The Buffalo area was settled in 1837 and Marshfield between 1834 and 1838. Early settlers located their homes close to the river because that was the main mode of transportation. They also sought locations near springs and forests for domestic water and building materials. Later immigrants settled on ridgetops where major roads were constructed. An Indian trail in Laclede and Webster Counties became Wire Road, which later became Route 66.
The 1994 estimated human population of the watershed was 34,679 based on U.S. Bureau of Census and Rand McNally data for each county and various communities. Population estimates by decade for counties that include the Niangua Watershed are shown in Table Lu01. Low-density and fairly stable populations were evident between 1930 and 1970. Since then populations of all five counties have increased, with Camden County more than doubling. The estimated population growth of Dallas County was the fourth greatest in the state between 1990 and 1994, and Camden County was ninth greatest.
Land Cover and Use
Land cover in the Niangua Watershed before settlement was a mosaic of prairie, savanna, and forest. The undissected uplands were dominated by patches of prairie and savanna with high grasses and large post oaks (Schroeder, 1983). Large patches of prairie were confined to the Buffalo Head Prairie which included the southwestern portion of the watershed in the upper reaches of the LNR and NR (McCarty, 1995). Areas of greater relief and narrow ridgetops were dominated by oak-hickory forest with occasional patches of prairie in the bottomland (Schroeder, 1983). Savannas were believed to be common in the Springfield Plateau which includes the Niangua Watershed (Nelson, 1985). They depended on fires started by lightning or native Indians every five to ten years to prevent encroachment by less fire-tolerant trees (Nelson, 1985). Drastic changes in land cover have occurred since European settlement. Prairies have been destroyed by plowing, overgrazing, and fire control, and are now primarily replaced by pasture (Schroeder,1983). Savannas have been similarly altered and good examples are only found in Ha Ha Tonka and Bennett Springs state parks (Leach and Ross, 1995).
Approximately 50% of the original forest in the state was converted to pasture by 1947 (MDC, 1980). Conversion to pasture is most prevalent in areas with low relief, such as headwater reaches and wide valleys. In the five counties that include the Niangua Watershed, forested acres declined 24% between 1947 and 1972, while forested acres in the entire Ozark Region declined by 13% (MDC, 1980). These declines were attributed to high cattle prices in the 1960s that prompted farmers, who owned over 50% of the commercial forest in Missouri, to convert forest to pasture (MDC, 1980). Further declines were not documented in these counties between 1972 and 1989, although differences in reporting methods "make comparison uncertain" (Smith, 1990). In areas of high relief, such as the LNR and lower NR, slopes tend to be maintained in woodland and valleys are cleared (Harvey et al., 1983).
Agriculture and tourism are major industries throughout the watershed. Primary agricultural activities include dairy and beef cattle production. A limited amount of hog and poultry production also occurs. Important tourist activities include fishing, canoeing, and boating. A major challenge in managing the watershed is to allow these industries to co-exist without adversely impacting each other or the environment.
Land use on farms in several categories is shown in Table Lu02. These data were obtained from Agri-Facts for each county (MDA, 1995) and from USDA (1992). In 1992 approximately 51% of the watershed was used for cropland. This consisted mostly of hay fields of which more than half was also used for pasture. Woodland pasture and other pasture occupied 39% of the watershed and ungrazed woodland occupied less than 9%. Grazed and ungrazed woodland included approximately 27% of the watershed. Notable changes evident in Table 5 between 1929 and 1992 include a decrease in harvested cropland (40%), a decrease in pastured woodland (55%), and an increase in other pasture (126%). The total amount of pasture has remained fairly constant. Most woodland was grazed, and ungrazed woodland was a small percentage (9%-10%) of the watershed between 1978 and 1992.
Soil Conservation Projects
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), began the Upper Niangua Animal Waste Project (UNAWP) in 1991 as part of its nationwide Water Quality Initiative (Smale et al, 1995). The UNAWP supports a number of activities with the common goal of minimizing the undesirable effects of agriculture on water quality in the Upper Niangua Watershed. Some of the project activities, such as outreach programs conducted through the local University Agricultural Extension offices and the completion of Farmstead Assessment Systems, are educational or information gathering in nature and difficult to quantify in terms of their effects on water quality. Other activities, including the monitoring of wells and capping of abandoned wells, are directed at preventing groundwater pollution. The main emphasis of the project has been the design and construction of a number of animal waste treatment facilities throughout the watershed.
The treatment facilities are designed to intercept and process manure and prevent nutrients from contaminating the NR and its tributaries. Manure is retained in the facilities so that it can be broken down by natural decomposition and applied to farmland. Smale et al (1995) estimated the nutrients saved in 1995 by processing this manure were valued at over $49,000 and could be expected to produce over 3,800 tons of hay. As of October 1996 there were 29 completed facilities and seven more under design. The agencies involved with the UNAWP have educated landowners about nutrient enrichment and the need for such facilities, and provided technical assistance and cost-share funds for their construction. Inspection and certification of the facilities is conducted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). To evaluate the effectiveness of this project, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was contracted to monitor water quality throughout the Upper Niangua River watershed. In addition, the Missouri Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Missouri monitored fish and invertebrate communities and evaluated habitat conditions.
Public Lands
All public use areas are listed in Table Lu03 and mapped in Figure Lu01. Both state parks, a multi-purpose lake access, three large MDC frontage tracts with stream access, six other MDC stream accesses, and three access points near Tunnel Dam provide water-oriented recreational opportunities. Recreational use on the NR, LOZ, and at Bennett Spring State Park is very high. At least ten outfitters provide canoes, rafts, kayaks, and tubes; and shuttle customers between the public access sites and other sites on the NR. MDC agents have reported a significant increase in the number of boaters and associated violations in recent years, especially between Bennett Spring State Park and Prosperine Access (John Hoskins (MDC), pers. comm.). They estimate that over 1,000 canoes use that section on a typical busy summer day. Campground owners and canoe outfitters have also complained about littering, noise, and alcohol/drug abuse by boaters in recent years.
Bennett Spring State Park is located in Laclede and Dallas Counties at the confluence of Bennett Spring Branch and the NR (Appendix D). The 3,095 acre park is operated by the MDNR, but includes a cold-water hatchery operated by the MDC. It features a put-and-take trout fishery as well as camping and cabin facilities. Bennett Spring CA is a MDC access on the NR adjacent to the park. The Stream Management Plan for the park was prepared by the Bennett Spring Trout Park Task Force Committee in March, 1990 and revised in February, 1992 (BSTPTFC, 1992). The Trout Park Task Force is comprised of two representatives from the MDNR and two representatives from the MDC. The plan outlines concerns and activities related to Bennett Spring Branch, and its stream corridors and watershed. Several described stream improvement projects have been completed. These include rock jetties to decrease gravel deposition in the main channel; bank stabilization with strategic cedar tree revetments and corridor revegetation; and boulder habitat structures. Structures to improve bank fishing access such as walkways on rock jetties and stream banks with wheelchair access have also been completed. A rock wall for bank stabilization on the NR at the mouth of Bennett Spring Branch was recently constructed, and tree plantings to reduce flood-plain erosion have been completed in most of the planned locations (Craig Fuller (MDC), pers. comm).
Lead Mine CA is located in Dallas County on the NR (SM 41.5) (Appendix D). The area includes 7,743 acres and is 90 percent forested. It contains the lower 3.6 miles of Jakes Creek to its confluence with the NR, and approximately 3.0 miles of Niangua River frontage. The area plan, which is currently being revised, was completed in June, 1984. In addition to area plans, a Riparian Management Zone Plan for Lead Mine State Forest - Jakes Creek, and a Bank Stabilization Project Plan for Lead Mine State Forest - Jakes Creek were both approved in December, 1990 (see Habitat Conditions section).
Barclay Springs CA (389 acres) was acquired on the Niangua River in 1997 (Appendix D). The tract is located 6 mile north of Bennett Spring. Water resources include 1.7 mile of Niangua River frontage designated as trout management waters, a large spring, and 0.4 mile of spring branch. The tract has 55 acres of open bottomland, 58 acres of upland fields (hay and pasture), 269 acres of timber, and 5 acres of river, and buildings sites. The site is suitable for access development, riparian corridor improvements, protection of the spring and spring branch, and fisheries habitat improvements.
Mule Shoe CA encompasses 2,390 acres in three separate areas in Hickory County, including 9.2 miles of stream frontage (Appendix D). The most significant stream on the property is 2.9 miles of the Little Niangua River which is critical habitat for the Niangua darter. Other waterways on the area include Starks Creek and two unnamed tributaries. A 200-foot riparian zone will be created and maintained on the LNR by 2003 and a 100-foot riparian zone will protect the tributaries. Nearly 80% of the area is forested. The area is managed by MDC personnel from the West Central Forestry Region in cooperation with the West Central Fisheries Region. A major reason for acquisition of the area was to protect habitat for the Niangua darter.
Charity CA is the most upstream access on the NR (SM 112) (Appendix D). It is approximately 18 miles upstream from Big John CA (SM 94). Charity CA currently includes 320 acres. Four significant springs upstream from the access and a spring within one-half mile to the east of the access combine to produce cold-water conditions in the NR in the vicinity of the access. The aquatic resources of the area will be managed for the benefit of the native fish and fauna.
Fiery Fork CA in Camden County includes 1,606 acres on the LNR (SM 12.5) (Appendix D). The area contains 1.5 miles of the LNR, and the lower 0.9 miles of Fiery Fork Creek, and 1.0 miles of Toby Hollow Creek. Five springs and numerous permanent ponds (mostly fishless) provide water for wildlife and essential breeding habitat for amphibians. The LNR access is popular with fishermen, floaters, and swimmers (Brown and Ronk, 1983). Fiery Fork is managed primarily for recreational values and as a model in forest management and wildfire suppression (Brown and Ronk, 1983). The area includes 1,401 acres (87% of total area) of forest (oak-hickory), glade, and savanna; 184 acres (11%) of crop/old field; 11 acres (1%) of water/stream bed; and 10 acres (1%) of campgrounds/roads (Jones et al., under review). In addition to the area plan, a Riparian Zone Plan for Fiery Fork CA was completed in July of 1992. This plan resulted in curtailed cultivation and haying operations in 1992 and placed a high priority on expanding riparian corridors to 200 feet on all streams by 1998 (Stoner, 1992).
Corps of Engineers Jurisdiction
Waters of the Niangua Watershed are under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Kansas City District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The district assumes responsibility for all streams which appear on county highway maps prepared by the Missouri Highway and Transportation Department (MHTD). Portions of the watershed impounded by LOZ are listed as navigable waters of the United States pursuant to Section 10 of the Clean Water Act, while all other streams are regulated under Section 404. Nationwide permits are normally issued for qualifying Section 404 activities upstream of the point where the median annual flow of any stream is less than 5 cfs. Proposed activities within Niangua darter range before 1995 were usually reviewed by the MDC and USFWS, and normally not authorized by nationwide permits. In December 1995, a general permit, MKP-GP34M, was enacted for sand and gravel excavation in Missouri streams. This permit includes conditions formulated by the MDC, MDNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and COE to minimize environmental impacts. In stream activities are prohibited during spring and/or fall seasons on designated segments of some streams (Table Lu04, Figure Lu02). The COE automatically includes the prohibitions on general permits within these segments. Prior to 1997, most Section 404 activities involving sand and gravel removal were authorized by this permit unless unusual conditions required individual permits, or a nationwide permit could be applied.
In January, 1997 a federal court reversed a 1993 ruling that was the basis for COE authority to regulate in stream sand and gravel excavation. In 1993, the Tulloch Rule found that "incidental fallback", small amounts of material that inevitably fall back in the stream when sand and gravel are excavated, was "fill" as regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Several months after the 1997 ruling, the court issued a stay, pending appeal that reinstated COE authority over "incidental fallback", so the COE began issuing permits and enforcing its authority. However, the court again removed COE authority in July 1998. Currently, the COE does not regulate sand and gravel removal that results in "incidental fallback". However, COE permits are required for activities that include grading or pushing gravel in the stream channel; stockpiling, sorting, or crushing gravel in the stream channel or on gravel bars; access roads through the stream; and disposal of oversized material within the stream channel.
Any commercial sand and gravel removal within stream channels or flood plains requires a permit from the MDNR Land Reclamation Program. Environmental conditions imposed on these permits are usually much less restrictive than those in the General Permit (MKP-GP34M), and the lack of adequate personnel in the Land Reclamation Program limits enforcement. Non-commercial operations, such as those by individuals for personal use, or city, county, and state governments are exempt from Land Reclamation permitting requirements. The MDNR is in the process of developing guidelines similar to those in the General Permit (MKP-GP34M) which may be included in Land Reclamation permits in the future.

Management Problems
The following perspectives on problems and opportunities for watershed management will guide MDC management priorities and activities for the foreseeable future. We realize we are only one of many partners whose joint efforts will be needed to protect and restore stream ecosystem integrity in the Salt River watershed.
Stream Access Acquisition
MDC has purchased small tracts of land along streams in order to provide public access for recreation and to establish an ownership stake that may strengthen our position in resisting system-wide threats to riparian habitat integrity. In the past, statewide planners have assumed that a desirable spacing was approximately ten stream miles between access areas. Experience suggests that it takes much longer to float and/or fish a typical reach of prairie stream than an equivalent length of Ozark stream. Because of slower currents and more frequent channel obstructions in the prairie region, we should seek to shorten the distance between access areas to five to seven miles on floatable, unchannelized prairie streams with high public use potential.
In order to provide a stream access system with optimal one-day trip distances, MDC should acquire at least four additional access sites in the Salt River watershed: one located on the North Fork Salt River between Arrow-Wood and Mound View accesses (T57N R10W S14), one on the Middle Fork Salt River approximately five miles downstream from Woodlawn AC (T55N R11W S29), one on the Elk Fork Salt River near highway 15 (T54N R10W S26), and one on the South Fork Salt River upstream from Santa Fe AC (T53N R8W S28).
Stream Access Development
Because of fiscal restraints, planned developments have not been completed on all existing stream access areas in the Northeast Region. Developments must be completed so citizens can experience the quality recreational opportunities that will build their individual commitment to helping preserve and restore streams in this and other watersheds. As a matter of strategic priority, MDC will complete planned developments on existing areas before acquiring many additional areas.
Development is largely complete at several access areas including: Paris AC, Santa Fe AC, Ted Shanks CA (access to Salt River), Hunnewell AC, and Indian Camp AC. Mound View AC remains undeveloped, but an entrance road, 5-car parking lot, and boat ramp are planned. Improved parking and a boat ramp are planned for Cedar Bluff AC. Improved boat launching ramps also need to be developed at Woodlawn AC and Arrow-Wood AC.
Site-Specific Stream Restoration
Although stream ecosystem health is almost entirely dependent upon processes occurring upstream and downstream of any given ownership, Department of Conservation riparian areas should serve as model of good stream stewardship. In the Salt River watershed, streambank erosion and forested corridor deficiencies are minor at MDC owned access areas. In areas where the forested corridor is narrow, passive restoration is being used to establish increase corridor width.
Public Use Information
Public use of Salt River watershed streams is low to moderate, partially because most people are unaware of the high-quality fishing/floating opportunities that exist there. People who enjoy Ozark streams may have stereotyped northern Missouri streams as turbid, unattractive ditches that contain primarily non-game fish. While this may be true of some highly altered channels in the prairie region, several reaches of many streams in the watershed resemble Ozark streams. Many reaches support diverse aquatic communities that provide good fishing or an even greater variety of sport fish than exist in many Ozark streams.
MDC could increase public use and appreciation of the Salt River watershed streams by developing a brochure describing stream recreational opportunities. Such a brochure would include colored pictures, simple stream maps with mileages, access sites and camping areas clearly marked, descriptions of other local attractions, and fishing opportunities/regulations. Statewide news releases and an article n the Conservationist magazine might also help to inform potential users of the opportunities awaiting them in the Salt River watershed.
Statewide, the Department of Conservation has developed a long-term Resource Assessment and Monitoring program (RAM). The objective is to establish standardized sampling methods for several stream ecosystem attributes, especially biotic communities, that will allow scientists to provide an accurate, legally defensible portrayal of conditions and trends. Sampling is occurring at random and fixed sites to allow statewide or individual watershed assessments. Information gathered from this effort may be used to prioritize watersheds for conservation.
Long-Term Fish Community Monitoring
Long-term monitoring to assess stream fish community trends has not been conducted in the Salt River watershed. Although some sites within the basin may be included in the statewide RAM program, extensive sampling within that framework is not likely to occur for several years. In the meantime, in order to monitor trends in fish community composition and population levels, the Department of Conservation should conduct fish community surveys at sites randomly selected from among those surveyed during 1995-97 at least every ten years.
Fishery Management and Research Needs
As in most northeastern Missouri streams, fish communities in the Salt River watershed seem to be imbalanced. Recognizing that our sampling methods may under represent large fishes, surveys in some basin streams still suggests the existence of relatively few fish-eating predators (flathead catfish, black bass or walleye), but large numbers of insect-eating bottom feeders (channel catfish, river carpsuckers, freshwater drum, common carp, and a variety of minnow species). Non-game fishes are represented mostly by species tolerant of the shallow depths and shifting substrates caused by excessive watershed erosion and subsequent stream channel sedimentation. Shifting substrates dramatically reduce biological productivity, so in channelized streams the large populations of insect-eating fish are almost entirely dependent upon terrestrial inputs or whatever invertebrate production occurs on in-channel woody debris. There are not enough predatory fish to control the abundant insect-eating fish. Degraded habitat may be the main factor limiting predator abundance and thereby preventing ecosystem balance.
We know very little about the abundance, migration patterns and minimum habitat requirements of the key-predator's flathead catfish. We need basic research, starting with studies of flathead catfish movement and exploitation rate, to begin developing a broad range of strategies for effectively managing sport fishes in streams (e.g., regulation, stocking, and information/education in addition to habitat protection/restoration).
Walleye represent another major predator in basin streams; however, surveys indicate that natural reproduction and density is low. A stream stocking evaluation was initiated in 1999 with the goal of determining if stream stockings of small or advanced size walleye will result in a quality walleye fishery in Mark Twain Lake and its Salt River tributaries.
Monitoring Contaminants in Fish
Fish contaminant monitoring has been conducted in Mark Twain Lake and some basin streams. The entire basin was included in a limited consumption advisory issued by the Missouri Department of Health for fish species with a high proportion of fat in their edible tissues (catfish, carp, buffalo, drum, suckers). Levels of concern for chlordane were reported in the early 1990s for catfish in this and neighboring watersheds and the Mississippi River. This advisory was lifted in 2001 due to declining chlordane levels. However, another consumption advisory was added in 2001. This new advisory, issued due to mercury contamination, recommends that pregnant or nursing women, women of childbearing age, and children 12 years of age or younger not eat largemouth bass 12 inches long or longer from anywhere in Missouri.
Long-Term Mussel Community Monitoring
Mussels are abundant in some reaches of basin streams. Extensive, basin-wide surveys have not been conducted. The Department of Conservation needs to assess species diversity and abundance by conducting a carefully designed, system-wide survey. Survey sites and sampling periodicities should be consistent with RAM and other fish survey protocols.
The Missouri Department of Conservation works with many other governmental agencies and private conservation organizations in the process of managing stream resources. The following formal or traditional interactions are among the most significant in frequency and scope, and they should be continued.
Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
MCD assists DNR by periodically nominating high quality or otherwise valuable stream reaches for "Outstanding State Resource Water" status; recommending water quality standard classifications for stream reaches of special concern; and assisting in water pollution investigations whenever an event results in the loss of aquatic life. In such cases, MDC's role is to document the number of dead fish and other aquatic organisms and report to DNR the estimated value of animals lost according to formulas established by th American Fisheries Society. MDC should continue its coordination efforts with DNR to ensure efficient use of state government resources in the conservation of streams in the Salt River watershed.
Missouri Department of Health (DOH)
MDC assists DOH by periodically collecting fish from select streams and preparing tissure samples for analysis of pesticide and heavy metal contaminants. We cooperate with DOH in advising anglers about precautions to take in the consumption of fish.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
MDC joins several other agencies in commenting to COE and DNR about activities in streams that require permit and certification under Sections 404 and 401, respectively, of the Federal Clean Water Act. COE requires a Section 404 permit for operators who propose to deposit or stockpile material in stream channels; and DNR requires a Section 401 certification for any activity that could significantly degrade water quality. MDC biologists help to disseminate information about stream-friendly sand and gravel removal practices to county commissions, contractors, and landowners.
MDC personnel are often the first agency representatives contacted by neighbors when individuals or public entities engage in what appears to be unpermitted and destructive practices in and along streams. MDC biologists should remain vigilant advocates for the interests on all riparian residents, upstream and downstream, who may be adversely affected by the activities of those few who knowingly violate Sections 404 or 401 of the Clean Water Act.
MDC recognizes that regulations are necessary to protect streams and their watersheds. Watershed management must be approached in a balanced, market-based manner that falls somewhere in the continuum between regulatory protection and voluntary conservation efforts.
MDC staff also work closely with COE regarding fishery management activities at Mark Twain Lake.
Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM)
MDC facilitates and promotes Stream Team, a program initiated by CFM that seeks to enlist volunteers in the stream conservation effort. Many Teams have adopted streams in the Salt River watershed; however, most report little to no activity. Far more citizen interest and volunteer effort will be needed for any significant stream improvements to occur within the watershed.
Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission (CCWWC) and University of Missouri Outreach and Extension (MUOE)
The CCWWC and MUOE coordinate the North Fork Project. This watershed project, supported by many governmental agencies, business owners, landowners, and municipal leaders, seeks to provide informational/educational materials and training that leads to better coordinated management activities in the North Fork Salt River watershed. MDC provides technical support to the North Fork Project and assists in major educational efforts.
We are convinced that the watershed conservation approach will work only if there is widespread recognition that social, economic, and environmental values associated with streams are compatible. If that can be achieved, success will depend upon local initiatives to form diverse partnerships of committed groups and individuals under the leadership of landowners and other local interests.
Watershed restoration is essential to restoring the primary processes that create and maintain fish habitat in healthy stream ecosystems. The most critical and affordable first step in watershed restoration is passive restoration - the cessation of human activities that are causing degradation or preventing recovery (e.g., channelization, riparian corridor clearing, indiscriminate gravel dredging, and streamside livestock grazing). Active restoration (e.g., tree revetments and riparian corridor plantings) should be considered only if recovery fails to occur over a reasonable period of time while using passive techniques (e.g., livestock exclusion and natural regeneration of woody plants). Because restoring degraded stream ecosystems is more costly and risky than simply protecting fully functional sites, we suggest that protecting and preserving intact riparian ecosystems be the highest priority of watershed-scale restoration efforts.
Protecting Healthy Riparian Corridors' Stream Stewardship
A program aimed at conserving healthy forested stream corridors by placing them into permanent easements using Stream Stewardship Agreements (SSA) was piloted in Marion County between 1992 and 1995. That effort resulted in the permanent conservation of 88 acres of 100- to 200-foot-wide forested corridor on four ownerships along 2.4 miles of the South Fabius River. Although there are no SSA in the Salt River watershed, the infrastructure now exists for MDC to facilitate the permanent conservation of healthy stream corridors, but measurable impact will require funding from a variety of sources. Enrollment of streamside lands in continuous CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) will not substitute for enrollment in SSA or other permanent easement programs because healthy forested corridors cannot be enrolled in CRP, and land enrolled in CRP buffers may be converted back to crop production at the end of the short-term contract periods (10 to 15 years). However, CRP may provide viable first step for landowners on the long path toward converting eroding floodplain crop fields or pastures into functional riparian corridors. MDC has identified the Elk Fork Salt River as the most likely watershed for SSA and other subsidized stream management practices in the Salt River watershed.
Passively Restoring Mildly Degraded Riparian Corridors: Livestock Exclusion
The activity of livestock can degrade physical aspects of water quality by causing streambank erosion, resulting in turbidity and stream channel sedimentation. Chemical aspects of water quality can be degraded by livestock waste. In some situations, streambank stabilization, corridor reforestation, and improved water quality can be achieved simply by excluding livestock from stream corridors. For fencing to be attractive to landowners, an alternative source of livestock water must be available (e.g., upland ponds, or shallow floodplain wells tapped by nose pumps or solar-powered pumps). Some landowners may have potential alternative water sources on their property, but may not have the money or the technical support to adopt new technology. Cost-share money for fencing and alternative watering may be available through a variety of federal and state programs. Department of Conservation biologists are available to assist landowners in selecting a practical alternative to instream watering of livestock.
Actively Restoring Moderately to Severely Degraded Corridors
A 75% cost-share program for stream restoration practices (e.g., tree revetments and riparian corridor tree plantings) was piloted by MDC in Sullivan County between 1990 and 1993. The program had no participants, despite the fact that 41% of county landowners were aware of monetary incentives. The problems and their solutions were often complex, and MDC assistance had stipulations (ten-year forested corridors 50 to 100 feet wide) which many landowners were unwilling to accept. The lesson learned: These landowners were not prepared to make the personal sacrifices in time, money, and values needed to restore moderately to severely degraded stream habitats on their property. Available funds might be better spent first on protecting healthy riparian corridors and passively restoring those that are only mildly degraded.
Educating Future Watershed Stewards
Educating our youth about the complexities of watershed processes and problems will be critically important in advancing the science and art of watershed conservation. Today's youth are more technologically oriented and therefore likely to embrace complex information systems. And because of changes in classroom teaching strategy, they are likely to work effectively in problem-solving teams once they become adults.
MDC has found that students in and around the 6th grade are particularly receptive to messages about stream conservation because they can understand most concepts and evaluate new ideas with relatively little social or cultural bias. Classroom teachers may find helpful lesson-planning materials in Missouri's Stream Team Curriculum, a watershed-based curriculum developed by teachers, for teachers, that will help students to meet environmental education goals in the Missouri Performance Standards.
Junior high and high school students in vocational agricultural programs may also be prime candidates for watershed conservation education because they are more likely than others to become landowners and other important members of rural communities. Involving these students in hand-on stream conservation activities may contribute to the creation of a new generation of landowners committed to stream ecosystem integrity.
This section is included as a starting point for citizens who wish to lead or contribute significantly to watershed-based stream conservation efforts. The proliferation of information about watershed planning can be intimidating to individuals or groups who have decided that they have a problem they wish to fix. To facilitate that process, we recommend that potential leaders and contributors to watershed conservation efforts first familiarize themselves with a summary of lessons learned over the past decade about what works and what does not. The list in Table Mp01 combines the Top 10 Watershed Lessons Learned published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (1997) with the ten principles for effectively coordinating watershed-based programs listed by Turner (1997). These documents are highly recommended reading.
Citizens determined to develop and implement watershed conservation plans can also obtain critically important information about organizing and funding such projects by visiting the Internet websites listed in Table Mp02. These sites contain convenient links to many other sites that, in the aggregate, provide enough information about the watershed conservation process to help any individual or group get started in an informed and effective manner.

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Anthony Davis scored 28 points and
pulled down 15 rebounds to help the New Orleans Pelicans take a 132-125 win
over the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.
Eric Gordon scored 28 points and Tyreke Evans finished with 24 points, seven
rebounds and 11 assists for Pelicans, who snapped an eight-game losing streak.
"I liked the fact that we were able to take a punch tonight and then give it
back and close out a game," said Pelicans coach Monty Williams.
Pau Gasol had 29 points and 12 rebounds, Kent Bazemore scored 23 and Jordan
Farmar added 20 points and eight assists for the Lakers, losers in four of
their last six games.
"We kind of had an emotional hangover to start. Took us at least two quarters
to get into anybody. You've got to every night bring it," said Lakers coach
Mike D'Antoni. "It's our fault. We can defend a whole heck of a lot better
than that."
The Pelicans shot 58.3 percent in the first quarter to race out to a 35-23
lead. Davis scored 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting over the first 12 minutes and
Gordon chipped in with 10 in the frame.
The Lakers were within nine, 51-42, following Jodie Meeks' reverse layup at
the 5:25 mark, but a 16-6 run allowed New Orleans to go up 67-48. Meeks hit a
3-pointer with three seconds left in the half to send the Lakers into the
break trailing 67-51.
The Pelicans led by 21 early in the third, but the Lakers were able to cut the
deficit to just six, 91-85, later in the period. The Pelicans scored the final
four points of the stanza to make it 95-85 entering the fourth.
MarShon Brooks' finger roll 2 1/2 minutes into the fourth had LA within four,
97-93, but the Pelicans managed to push their spread back to double digits
before going up 119-107 with just under five minutes left.
The Lakers continued to chip away as Meeks buried a 3-pointer with 1:46 left
to make it 128-124. Gasol split a pair of free throws moments later that had
LA within three, but the hosts were held scoreless the rest of the way.
Game Notes
The Pelicans shot 59.7 percent from the field and the Lakers shot 54.1 percent
... Brian Roberts scored 19 points and Austin Rivers scored 12 for the
Pelicans ... Meeks finished with 17 points and Xavier Henry scored 12 in the
setback ... LA scored 25 points off 15 New Orleans turnovers.

- "He's not yours to kill... crow!"
- ―The Lord of Bones to Qhorin Halfhand
The Lord of Bones, also known as Rattleshirt[1], is a recurring character in the second and third seasons. He is played by Edward Dogliani. The Lord of Bones is a notorious leader among the Free Folk and a fearsome raider.
The Lord of Bones is an infamous wildling raider. He is known for wearing a giant's skull instead of a helmet and armor made of bones, which he wears to intimidate his enemies. His real name is not known.
Season 2
Ygritte takes Jon Snow to the rest of the warparty and introduces him, to the Lord of Bones, as "a present". The wildling commander is dismissive of Ygritte's arguments to keep him alive, as he already has Qhorin Halfhand as prisoner. He relents, however, after Ygritte's insistence and the reminder that Mance Rayder would want to decide for himself whether the bastard son of Ned Stark lives or dies. However, he threatens Ygritte to castrate Jon should he try to escape. As the warband and their prisoners march to Mance Rayder's camp in Skirling Pass, Qhorin attacks Jon, blaming him for the deaths of Stonesnake, Borba and Harker. The Lord of Bones warns the Halfhand not to strike his captive again.[2]
When Halfhand attacks Jon once again, as part of his plan to have Jon infiltrate Mance Rayder's host, the Lord of Bones orders his men to let the two fight. After Jon kills Qhorin, the Lord of Bones cuts the ropes binding his hands together and orders his men to burn the Halfhand's corpse. Then, he turns to Jon and taunts him that he wouldn't want Qhorin's corpse coming back for him.[3]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Lord of Bones is one of a number of formerly fiercely independent wildling warrior leaders who has been recruited by Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, to join his forces. He is a fierce enemy of the Night's Watch. Though he refers to himself as the Lord of Bones, the Night's Watch dubbed him "Rattleshirt" as a mockery of the rattle sound produced by his armor. His true name is unknown.

Northwood is mostly made up of small stores and Public Housing Projects. Despite the area being considered "Working Class", Playboy X owns his luxury Monaco style penthouse there, which is ironic because in some missions he implied about how much he hated poor people. The Northwood Heights Bridge connects Algonquin with Bohan, starting from the north end of Frankfort Avenue in Northwood. North Holland and East Holland are to the south of Northwood. The area has a high African-American and hispanic demographic.
Northwood and it's many housing projects is notorious for a high crime rate, drugs and gang violence. Culturally, the area is influenced by hip hop culture. The area is controlled by a diverse mix of gangs; including the North Holland Hustlers and the Uptown Riders. Revealed in The Lost and Damned, Northwood is also the turf of the Angels of Death as well. In The Ballad of Gay Tony it is the turf of the Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers.
Northwood is based on a mixture of two real life districts of Manhattan, Inwood and Washington Heights.
The LTA stops are Frankfort High and Frankfort Low.

- Club Liberty
- Playboy X's Safehouse.
- Arm Wrestling against Uptown Riders members (only in the Lost and Damned).

- Public Housing Projects
- The Public Housing Projects in Northwood are considered "scary" by most players because of the ghostly apartments, gangs, the bloody pillows and matresses, and the hookers and cocaine in all the apartments.

Dense Breasts
Topic Overview
What are dense breasts?
Breasts come in all shapes and sizes. The tissue inside your breasts can be different types too. Some breast tissue is fatty. Other breast tissue is dense. "Dense" means it's made of thick, fibrous tissue and milk glands.
You can learn how dense your breasts are from your mammogram report. There are four levels of breast density:
- Almost all fatty tissue (1 out of 10 women)
- Scattered areas of dense tissue, but mostly fatty tissue (4 out of 10 women)
- Mixed dense and fatty tissue, also called heterogeneous (4 out of 10 women)
- Extremely dense tissue (1 out of 10 women)
All of these breast types are normal.
Things that can affect your breast density include your family history (genetics), being pregnant, and using estrogen hormone therapy. Your age can also make a difference. Breast tissue in younger women tends to be denser than in older women who have been through menopause.
Why is it important to know about your breast density?
Having dense breasts may affect your plans for breast cancer screening. The more dense a breast is, the harder it is to see cancer on a mammogram image. That's because dense tissue looks white onscreen, just like cancer does.
Breast cancer tends to grow in dense breast tissue more often than in fatty breast tissue. So having dense breasts may slightly increase your risk for breast cancer.
On its own, breast density is not a major risk factor for cancer. Your level of breast density is one piece of your total cancer risk.
How do you learn about your breast density?
You can't tell how dense your breasts are by looking in the mirror or feeling them. The mammogram report sent to your doctor tells how dense your breasts are. It's written by the radiologist who reads your mammogram.
If you have questions about your breast density or other concerns, get a copy of your mammogram report. Then talk to your doctor about it.
What are my options for screening dense breasts for breast cancer?
There are several commonly used breast cancer screening tests. Each type of test shows breast tissue differently and finds things that the others don't.
Talk with your doctor about your breast density and any other breast cancer risk factors you have. Based on your unique information, your doctor can help you decide about screening.
Your screening options include:
- Mammogram only. A mammogram is recommended for all women who need breast cancer screening. A mammogram is the only test that can show tiny bits of calcium that can be a sign of cancer, even in dense breast tissue.
- Mammogram and breast ultrasound. These tests work well together for screening dense breast tissue. An ultrasound can show if a lump seen on a mammogram is a harmless fluid-filled cyst or something solid that could be a problem.
- Mammogram and MRI. MRI shows clear detail of breast tissue. But it often can't tell you what is cancer and what isn't. Most "abnormal" spots on MRI turn out to be harmless, especially in women with a low risk for breast cancer.
If breast cancer screening tests can't tell you that a spot is harmless, your next step is to decide whether to have a biopsy tested for cancer cells.
Newer screening technology
There are new tests for detecting breast cancer. But they need more research before they become widely available and paid for by insurance. The most promising of these is digital breast tomosynthesis. This test is also called tomography or 3D mammography.

(AP) - Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has asked Republican vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan's camp not to play his hit song, "We're Not Gonna Take It."
Ryan spokesman Brandon Buck wrote a pithy email in response: "We're Not Gonna Play It anymore."
Snider says in a statement that he does not support Ryan and denounced use of the song, an anthemic 1984 hit for the glam metal band.
It joins a long list of songs that musicians have asked politicians to stop using. Most recently, the rock band Silversun Pickups asked likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney to stop using the song "Panic Switch" last week. The campaign said the song's use was inadvertent.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Bob McDonnell is using his annual address to the state to make one big, last push for a lasting legislative legacy, urging lawmakers to embrace his education and transportation reforms.
He also threw in a surprise Wednesday, asking the lawmakers to approve bills that allow nonviolent felons' civil rights to be automatically restored.
McDonnell already has sketched out reforms that condition a 2 percent raise for teachers on new laws making underperforming faculty easier to fire, and his plan to replace Virginia's 17½-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax with a sales tax increase to replenish dwindling road maintenance funds.
McDonnell also asks legislators to establish a process to restore rights to vote, serve on a jury and other privileges people forfeit for felony convictions. Only the governor can restore those rights now.

Demonstrating Smart Grid Viability
OG+E Gets Stimulus to Move On
Published In: Intelligent Utility Magazine January/February 2010
SUBSTANTIVE PROGRESS IN ESTABLISHING SMART GRID INFRASTRUCTURE isn't always easy to see or measure.
But that progress may soon become much more noticeable-in the wake of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) fall 2009 announcement of utility recipients in its economic stimulus grant program.
One of the awardees on the DOE's lengthy list is Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E), which has arguably already entrenched itself ahead of many other electric utilities in both thought leadership and action in the smart grid space.
OG&E's first actual test and evaluation of the principles of smart grid occurred during the sweltering summer of 2008, when the utility conducted a study of actual user behavior within a small sample of its customer base. The study involved installing 6,600 digital smart meters as well as a number of in-home informational devices for the benefit of volunteers (many living in apartments) in the Quail Creek neighborhood of northwest Oklahoma City.
Among Quail Creek volunteer participants, the overall reaction to dynamic pricing and the broader advantages of having smart meters and in-home devices was so overwhelmingly positive that the neighborhood continues to operate in its own individual smart grid sphere-effectively living and consuming electricity, in comparison with other OG&E customers, somewhat ahead of the curve.
That won't be the case for much longer, however, as the DOE grant represents $130 million toward what OG&E has slated as a comprehensive program to install smart meters throughout its system. That means more than 770,000 smart meters are to be installed throughout OG&E's entire customer constituency in most of Oklahoma and a small portion of western Arkansas.
The total cost is projected by OG&E at approximately $300 million (including the $130 million contributed by federal taxpayers) over the three-year period during which smart meters are to be installed.
To further demonstrate the viability of its smart grid efforts, OG&E is working on its next test market and case study (one much larger than Quail Creek) in Norman, Okla., where the utility is establishing what it calls its first Positive Energy Community (''Positive Energy'' carries an OG&E trademark).
Within the next several months, OG&E plans to deploy 42,000 smart meters in Norman, accompanied by a wireless mesh communications network.
''We're going to do an in-home study with about 3,000 volunteer customers in Norman, who will now have some form of in-home device, and a variable peak-pricing tariff,'' said Ken Grant, managing director of OG&E's smart grid program. ''This will be a statistically valid study to prove out how those customers respond to price signals, and how much load they're willing to shift: What is their actual behavior change?
''And from this study, we'll learn how to proceed with our demand response program.''
Beyond the advantages of remote meter reading as well as automated connect/disconnect capabilities in Norman, OG&E wants to compare various arrangements in demand response technology.
''Some of the participants will have in-home displays and programmable communicating thermostats,'' Grant said. ''Others may have a Web portal and a programmable communicating thermostat. We're trying to get an idea of which technology works best.
''Also, some of the customers will be on a variable peak-pricing tariff with four price tiers. And some will be on kind of a 'standard' time-of-use tariff that we've traditionally offered with just two price tiers-and that one may have a critical price overcall we could implement if we ever had some sort of system emergency or a really highpriced period,'' he said.
OG&E's design for Norman is intended to be both broad and demographically varied enough to provide strikingly valid data that can be used in configuring the utility's implementation of smart grid throughout its system. And small business has not been left out.
"Our efforts in Norman are mostly residential," Grant said. "But we're including about 200 small commercial customers with whom we'll also be using in-home devices - or in this case, I guess, 'in-business' devices. And we'll have some home area network-type devices in their places of business to see if they also can take advantage of price signals and demand response."
One key caveat is that, not only in Norman, but eventually throughout OG&E's service territory, it's all up to the customer.
"This is not a 'direct load control program' - this is solely customer-directed," said Grant. "The utility is not 'controlling their power.' And we like to make that really clear, because that's a big deal in this part of the country."

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – The ultimate car lover's show was in Fort Wayne Saturday, and raised money for a local woman with breast cancer.
The United States Muscle Car (USMC) Cruz-In was hosted by Ivy Tech Community College Northeast Saturday afternoon.
Tricked-out cars, trucks, and motorcycles were on display to the public.
In the past, the event raised funds for homes for the Wounded Warriors Project, but this time organizers chose to raise money for Allison Steir, a local woman who's diagnosed with bilateral inflammatory breast cancer.
"She has stage four breast cancer," said Coordinator Jeff Smith. "She couldn't be here today due to chemo. She's so sick, but all the money and the people are here for that event."
Different classifications of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and low riders were featured at the event.
If you would like to donate to benefit Allison, you can go to the USMC Cruz-In's Facebook page.

JD Beach - Race Report
NEWS August 3, 2012
GeoCrash Photography
(August 3, 2012) - Another month has blown by us and I have finished up two races and getting ready to start more. We had some races at Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca. It was filled with some ups and downs like the rest of the season has been. But like I have done before I've just tried to take the good and move on. We definitely had some good moments during the two race weekends but some bad ones too. The worst thing is the next road race isn't until New Jersey which is the second weekend of September.
To start off we had our race weekend at Mid-Ohio. I was really looking forward to this one. I've done really well in the past here so I was excited to get back on the track. The biggest thing I needed to do was get up to speed as fast as I could so we weren't playing catch up the whole weekend. We started the weekend off really well and had good pace on Friday but made a set up decision Saturday morning that didn't help us any but felt good for the race.
The first race was pretty good. I was right in a battle for fourth and going really well. The bike was good and we were running some fast times. The top three had broken away but we were in a good battle until I made a mistake going down the back straight and ran off on the fastest part of the track. I was able to save it and get back going again to bring it home in 6th. We knew for Sunday we could run with the lead group. For the warm up we ended up 4th quickest. I just knew I needed to get a great start and get away with the lead group. I was lucky we had two chances because we had a restart. I was so amped up on getting that start that I jumped the line. I had to let some people pass me so I wouldn't get a meatball flag and got caught up in a battle. We couldn't really make any ground up and ended up 8th. Not our best race but still ended up in the top 10.
Next up was a trip to the west coast for Laguna. I knew this was going to be a tough weekend because I have little track time there and we get limited track time because of the MotoGP guys. All in all it was a fun weekend just didn't get the results I would have liked. We had even less track time then we thought because most of our sessions where in the morning and the fog was really bad this year. On Saturday it took almost until noon to clear up. We did improve from 16th to 9th in the race. I think it could have
been better but I got arm pump pretty bad the first few laps and it took it a bit to go away.
Now it's on to some AMA Pro Flat Track races. We have four races before the next road race. I'm really looking forward to getting back on the dirt track bike and having some fun. Hopefully we can turn the end of the season around and get the results we know we can get.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. – The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says a rabies death in Maryland was caused by an organ transplant.
The agency said Friday that three other people in Florida, Georgia and Illinois who got organs from the same donor are getting anti-rabies shots.
Citing anonymous sources, The Washington Post reports the Maryland victim was a man infected with the virus through a kidney transplant.
The Post says the man died at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in D.C. and received the kidney from a Florida donor during an operation at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 2011.
The donor died in Florida a in 2011 after moving there from North Carolina.
The CDC says it's working with public health officials and health care facilities in all five states to identify people who were in close contact with the initial donor or the four organ recipients. The agency says those people might need rabies post-exposure treatment.
The Maryland death is the first rabies death since 1976.
The U.S. has averaged fewer than five human rabies cases each year over the last 10 years. In 2012, Maryland detected 320 animals with rabies in the state.

May 6, 2016
For many Republicans, this is a good weekend to get away from it all.
With hundreds of thousands of Democrats traveling to the nation's capital for President Barack Obama's swearing-in ceremonies, Republicans and supporters of last fall's GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, are leaving town for sunny vacation destinations and company conferences.
Some are staying indoors and avoiding the crowds.
After failing to recapture the White House for a second straight presidential election, many Republicans are not exactly in a partying mood.
Republicans say inauguration weekend is a good time to lie low and think about ways of taking back the White House in another four years.

Biopsy for a Brain Tumor
Your doctor may decide that you need to have a biopsy. The tumor sample taken during biopsy can show if the tumor is benign or malignant. This will help decide what treatment is needed. Sometimes a biopsy will not be needed based on various tumor characteristics. Read this sheet to learn more about the two types of biopsies available.
If a child needs a biopsy, describe what you think he or she will experience before and after surgery. Check with the preadmission department at your hospital for resources that might help.
Stereotactic biopsy
Stereotactic biopsy is often used if a tumor is in a part of the brain that is hard to reach or near a vital area. A special frame may be used to hold the head in place. The biopsy is guided by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Before the procedure
Before the biopsy, the hair over the area where the biopsy will be taken may be trimmed or removed. You will have anesthesia to numb the part of your head where the surgeon will place the frame and take the biopsy. You may remain awake during the biopsy.
During the procedure
During a stereotactic biopsy, the surgeon will pass a hollow needle through the skull bone into the tumor. Cells taken from the tumor will then be sent to a lab to be examined.
Risks and complications of stereotactic biopsy include bleeding, seizures, and infection. Sometimes, a stereotactic biopsy is done and an open craniotomy is needed later.
Open biopsy
An open biopsy is performed through a craniotomy, an opening in the skull. You will usually be asleep or sedated for this procedure. A craniotomy allows an open biopsy to be done and as much of the tumor as possible to be removed. During the procedure, the scalp is cut and a piece of skull bone is taken out. This provides access to the brain. In most cases, the bone is put back in place. Often a preliminary pathology diagnosis is made while you are still in the operating room, so the neurosurgeon has information on how extensive the surgery will be.
Before the procedure
A few days before the procedure you will have an exam, meet with your surgeon and sign consent forms. You will learn if you can take your usual medications before surgery and be told to avoid eating and drinking for at least
Planning the return home
As with any surgery, you may need some help when you return home. Plan ahead. Have people in mind to:
Drive you home from the hospital and to appointments
Keep track of doctors' instructions
Cook and take care of your house
Help manage bills

- Rail-wheel contact research at the University of Newcastle
- Author(s)
- Kapoor, A.; Fletcher, D. I.; Franklin, F. J.; Vasic, G.; Smith, L.
- Abstract
- This paper presents a review of state-of-the-art research on rail-wheel contact at the University of Newcastle, UK. The research centres on rail wear and rolling contact fatigue, integrating these processes and their interactions to model the entire life of the rail from installation to final failure. Also included are processes that determine the life, such as railwheel adhesion and lubrication. Better understanding of these processes and the factors affecting them will lead to solutions, such as improved coatings, or predictive tools to assist maintenance of the railways, ultimately reducing costs and increasing capacity.

Tomasz Podolski wasn't aware that when he signed up for Verizon's mobile Internet service for his laptop computer he would be asked to pay the salaries of many of the company's employees shown in its television ads.
Podolski, of Berlin, signed up for the Verizon mobile wireless plan at the Best Buy store on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington. He said he told the salesperson at the Verizon kiosk that he normally spends a lot of time on his computer, but was assured that the 50-megabyte-a-month data plan would work for him.
"He told me that will be more that enough for my usage. And in case that if I were to overuse the service then it will automatically shut off," Podolski wrote me.
Without further thought Podolski surfed the Web to his heart's content whenever he was not working as a physical therapist in Farmington.
That stopped on May 6 when he received a bill from Verizon for $6,877.67. Not only had he used up his 50-MB monthly plan; he also had used an additional 6,800 megabytes at 99 cents each.
