About WRCA
Mission Statement - 2011
Water is essential to life. Comprehensive information about water is critical to empower informed decision making. The mission of the Water Resources Collections and Archives (WRCA) is to collect, organize and make accessible information about water in all its manifestations. The WRCA supports the scholarly and research needs of faculty, staff, students, and programs of the University of California and California State University systems. The WRCA also serves as a gateway to water information in support of water management decision-makers in both public and private sector agencies.
History of the WRCA
WRCA was established in 1958 as part of the University of California's Water Resources Center. The Center was founded in 1957 when the California Legislature passed a Senate Bill authorizing funds to the University of California. The Center was established to function as a University-wide organized research unit dealing with California's water resources issues. In 1958, WRCA (then known as the Water Resources Center Archives) was established as part of the Center's research mission. WRCA was designed as both a library and archives with a mission to preserve and make accessible unique technical information about all aspects of water in the West, nationally and internationally.
Gerry Giefer, the first librarian, was hired in 1959 and served as director until 1991. In the early years, Mr. Giefer traveled the state visiting engineering firms, water districts, federal, state and local agencies, consultants and individuals to explain WRCA's mission. Unique technical reports started to arrive along with unpublished papers of renowned hydrologists, engineers and public officials who had worked throughout the West. In recent decades, the reports of non-governmental organizations have been added along with pertinent information about economics and public policy.
Today, the collection consists of more than 200,000 technical reports, 1,500 specialized newsletters, over 5,000 archival maps and hundreds of videos. In addition, WRCA manages over 200 manuscript collections, and has over 45,000 historic photographs and aerial photographs that document the history of water development in the West.
In January 2011, the Water Resources Collections and Archives (WRCA) was relocated from the UC Berkeley campus to the University of California, Riverside (UCR) campus in collaboration with the California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) campus. The two universities will jointly manage WRCA's collections in order to build a state-wide network to promote and provide access to water-related research. The network will increase support for the water research agendas of UC, CSU, and external clientele.

School district officials across Mississippi say they're evaluating security policies in the wake of a deadly shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut.
That includes the central Mississippi city of Pearl, where then-student Luke Woodham went on a deadly school shooting rampage in 1997. Pearl authorities say there will be an increase in police presence.
Similar measures were being taken across the United States after a man killed 26 people, mostly young children, Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
In south Mississippi, Harrison County Superintendent Henry Arledge said he hopes to get more school resource officers. The district currently has 15 officers, but 21 schools.

Alumni Genealogy & Biography Home
Online Exhibit Photo Album, Daniels in Alabama, 1965
Jonathan M. Daniels, a native of Keene, New Hampshire, was valedictorian of the VMI Class of 1961. He was awarded the prestigious Danforth Fellowship for post-graduate study and enrolled at Harvard University to continue his study of English literature. Daniels soon realized that he was called to the ministry. While a seminarian at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts he responded to the pleas of Dr. Martin Luther King for clergy to become more actively involved in the Civil Rights movement, and traveled to Alabama to assist with voter registration efforts in the South.
In August 1965 Daniels and 22 others were arrested for participating in a voter rights demonstration in Fort Deposit, Alabama, and transferred to the county jail in nearby Hayneville. Shortly after being released on August 20, Richard Morrisroe, a Catholic priest, and Daniels accompanied two black teenagers, Joyce Bailey and Ruby Sales, to a Hayneville store to buy a soda. They were met on the steps by Tom Coleman, a construction worker and part-time deputy sheriff, who was carrying a shotgun. Coleman aimed his gun at sixteen year old Ruby Sales; Daniels pushed her to the ground in order to protect her, saving her life. The shotgun blast killed Daniels instantly; Morrisroe was seriously wounded. When he heard of the tragedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "One of the most heroic Christian deeds of which I have heard in my entire ministry was performed by Jonathan Daniels."
In the years since his death, Daniels' selfless act has been recognized in many ways. Two books have been written about his life, and a documentary was produced in 1999. The Episcopal Church added the date of his death to its Calendar of Lesser Feasts and Fasts, and in England's Canterbury Cathedral, Daniels name is among the fifteen honored in the Chapel of Martyrs.
Recognition at the Institute
The VMI Board of Visitors voted in 1997 to establish the Jonathan M. Daniels '61 Humanitarian Award. The award emphasizes the virtue of humanitarian public service and recognizes individuals who have made significant personal sacrifices to protect or improve the lives of others. The inaugural presentation was made to President James Earl Carter in 2001; the second award was presented to Ambassador Andrew Young in 2006. In addition, one of only four named archways in the VMI Barracks is dedicated to Daniels, as is a memorial courtyard.

Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer (Androgen Deprivation Therapy, or ADT)Skip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer is also known as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Prostate cancer cannot grow or survive without androgens, which include testosterone and other male hormones. Hormone therapy decreases the amount of androgens in a man's body. Reducing androgens can slow the growth of the cancer and even shrink the tumor.
Hormone therapy may be used along with radiation treatment when there is a high risk of the cancer returning. Or hormone therapy may be used after surgery or radiation if any cancer remains.
Hormone therapy may also help men who have cancer that has spread and who cannot have surgery or radiation. It may be used when prostate cancer has spread outside the prostate (metastatic disease). In these cases, hormone therapy reduces pain and helps men live a little longer.footnote 1
Hormone therapy may be used to suppress prostate cancer cells, which is reflected in lower levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
Hormone therapy alone is sometimes used as the main treatment for prostate cancer in men who can't have surgery or radiation. But hormone therapy doesn't seem to help men ages 66 and older who have localized prostate cancer. These men live just as long with active surveillance.footnote 2
Taking medicine, such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) medicine, is one way to reduce androgens. Another way, used much less often, is surgery to remove the testicles, also known as an orchiectomy.
- LHRH agonists. These drugs stop the body from making testosterone. They include goserelin (Zoladex), histrelin (Vantas), leuprolide (Lupron), and triptorelin (Trelstar).
- LHRH antagonists. These drugs stop the body from making testosterone. They work right away. And they avoid the flare caused by LHRH agonists, which can make symptoms worse for several weeks. One LHRH antagonist is degarelix (Firmagon).
- Androgen inhibitors. These are medicines that block enzymes that the body needs to make testosterone. They include enzalutamide (Xtandi), ketoconazole, and abiraterone (Zytiga), which is given along with prednisone.
- Antiandrogens. These drugs often are used along with LHRH agonists. Antiandrogens help block the body's supply of testosterone. There are steroidal antiandrogens and "pure" antiandrogens. The steroidal antiandrogens include megestrol (Megace). The "pure" or nonsteroidal antiandrogens include bicalutamide (Casodex), flutamide, and nilutamide (Nilandron).
- Orchiectomy. This surgery is considered to be hormone therapy. This is because removing the testicles, where more than 90% of the body's androgens are made, decreases testosterone levels. Removing the testicles may be the simplest way to reduce androgen levels, but it is permanent.
Sometimes androgen deprivation (orchiectomy or an LHRH agonist) and an antiandrogen are used together for treatment. This targets the testosterone made by the testicles and the adrenal glands. It is called a combined androgen blockade (CAB).
Other hormone therapies may include the use of medicines such as megestrol, estrogen, aminoglutethimide combined with hydrocortisone, and corticosteroids (prednisone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone).
Timing of hormone therapy
Research does not clearly show whether starting hormone therapy before symptoms appear allows men to live longer than if they waited until after symptoms appear to start taking medicine.footnote 3 Men who start hormone therapy almost always stay on it for the rest of their lives. So waiting until symptoms appear may allow men to delay the serious side effects of hormone therapy.
Alternatives to conventional hormone therapy
- Intermittent androgen deprivation (IAD). This involves cycles of hormone therapy medicines. Taking breaks during hormone therapy gives men the chance to recover their ability to function sexually. It also gives relief from the other side effects of hormone therapy, including hot flashes and the effects on energy as well as bone and muscle mass. The long-term survival outcome of IAD compared to conventional ADT is not yet known.
- Antiandrogen monotherapy. Antiandrogens are medicines that block the action of androgens in the body. Antiandrogen monotherapy means taking antiandrogens without other hormone medicines.
Side effects of hormone therapy
The side effects of hormone therapy increase with the length of time that a man uses this therapy. Some of the side effects from hormone therapy will go away when a man who is taking medicine finishes his hormone therapy. For a man who has an orchiectomy, the side effects of sterility and loss of sexual interest are immediate and permanent.
Side effects of hormone therapy may include:
- Thin or brittle bones (osteoporosis).
- Increased body mass (BMI) and higher levels of fats in the blood.
- Reduced muscle mass.
- Low red blood cell count (anemia) and fatigue.
- Increased risk for diabetes and heart disease.
- Emotional ups and downs.
Other side effects may include hot flashes, erection problems and reduced sex drive, breast enlargement, and cognitive impairment. Some men may experience depression.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems).
Long-term side effects of hormone therapy
The long-term side effects of hormone therapy, even for men taking medicine, are not known. But hormone therapy has been linked to a higher risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and a shorter life span.footnote 3
One large study found that hormone therapy appears to be linked to a higher risk of death from heart problems in men who had surgery for localized prostate cancer.footnote 4
Hormone therapy and quality of life
The side effects of hormone therapy for prostate cancer often affect a man's quality of life. But there are treatments that can help with some of the side effects listed above. For example, exercise can help counteract the loss of muscle mass and will help with fatigue. There are medicines that can help with hot flashes, nausea, diarrhea, and bone loss. Low-dose radiation or taking tamoxifen may help prevent or reduce breast enlargement. For men with depression, counseling and medicine may help. For more information, see the topic Depression.
Above all, talk with your doctor about any of the symptoms you have while you are taking hormone therapy. Your doctor may know about a local support group for men who have prostate cancer.

Allows you to breathe while on the surface without lifting your head out of the water.
Position the snorkel on the outside of the mask strap so it will be just forward of your left ear. Carefully lift the tab located at the bottom of the keeper slightly away from the barrel of the snorkel, and slide the keeper down over the mask strap and release the tab.
To hold the snorkel in your mouth, gently bite on the mouthpiece tabs and keep your lips sealed around the mouthpiece. While snorkeling, keep your chin slightly up so the top of the snorkel stays out of the water. Water that does enter when you dive underwater or encounter a wave can be removed by exhaling a sharp blast of air into the mouthpiece. Use caution when inhaling in case some of the water is not removed. Repeat as necessary.
If water enters more frequently than normal, ensure that the snorkel is positioned properly on the mask strap, make sure that your mouth is sealed around the mouthpiece, and make sure that the end of the snorkel is out of the water while you are swimming. Also check to ensure that there are no holes or cuts in the mouthpiece, and that the round silicone purge valve located in the bottom of the barrel is not distorted or missing and is sealing the opening.
Care & Maintenance
At the end of each day of use, rinse your snorkel thoroughly in fresh water and towel dry. Do not allow the clear silicone portions of the snorkel to come in contact with items that are black rubber. This will cause the clear silicone to become discolored. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat. Ensure that the snorkel is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry location.

Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist left in the fourth quarter after
suffering a head and neck injury following a collision with teammate
Jeff Taylor.
Kidd-Gilchrist was injured while attempting to block Toney Douglas'
fastbreak layup. Kidd-Gilchrist was hit in the head and neck area from
behind by the hip of Taylor, who also attempted to block Douglas on the play.
Kidd-Gilchrist, who was selected second overall in the 2012 NBA Draft,
remained on the ground for several minutes before being removed from the court
on a stretcher and was later taken to a local hospital in an ambulance.
Houston held a slim, 79-77 lead entering the final frame, but the Bobcats used
an 11-4 run to go up 88-83 with 8:38 left.
The Rockets, though, countered with a 16-11 swing to take a 99-93 lead with
just over four minutes left.
The Bobcats would score just two points the rest of the way.
Houston led 32-27 after the first period and took a 62-51 lead into the break.
Charlotte outscored the Rockets, 26-17, in the third period to pull within
Houston outscored Charlotte, 58-32, in the paint ... The Rockets scored 21
points off of 13 Bobcats turnovers ... Harden set a career-high with 11
rebounds ... Charlotte's Gerald Henderson and Jeff Taylor scored 15 points
apiece in the setback.

Ravens defense owns Brady and the Offense.
Always choke in biggest games, in biggest moments!
Nobody better blame the defense for this debacle. You'd think the best offense in NFL history could score more than 13 points midway through 4th quarter against an old defense? Nobody better call Manning the choker in playoffs, seems like Brady isnt much better recently!

Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Sobieski was born Liliane Sobieski on June 10, 1982, in New York City, NY. She was raised in an artistic family in Manhattan, spending summers on a ranch in the Carmarque region of France, the homeland of her painter father. Growing up, she considered following in his footsteps or in those of her novelist/screenwriter mother, but the 10- year-old's "discovery" by a casting agent in her school cafeteria planted a new creative seed in her head. Sobieski had always been outgoing and fearless, and she curiously pursued the idea of acting even when her "discovery" did not net her the role in "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) - that famously went to Kirsten Dunst. But with a little training, the... Continue Bio >>

Today's free agency preview focuses on the men who run all over opposing defenses in the running backs.
Here is a list of select running backs who are slated to become unrestricted free agents at the start of the new league year. These players can re-sign with their current teams at any time and can begin to negotiate with other teams beginning on Saturday.
LeGarrette Blount/RB/Patriots (6'0, 250lbs) – In his first season with New England after being traded from Tampa Bay, Blount was part of a loaded Patriots backfield. He eventually became the Pats workhorse late in the season. Blount ran for 772 yards last year and scored seven touchdowns on the ground. He ran wild in Week 17 and in the Wild Card round of the postseason gaining a combined 355 yards and six touchdowns on 48 carries. He's the definition of a power back and has served as a between the tackles and short yardage specialist during his four year career. (UPDATE 3/29: LeGarrette Blount has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.)
Andre Brown/RB/Giants (6'0, 227lbs) – Brown's 2013 campaign was almost over before its start, as the NC State product that's already been on five teams (including two separate stints with the Giants) in six seasons went down in Big Blue's final preseason game with a leg injury. But Brown has able to avoid going on injured reserve and returned for New York's Week 10 win against the Raiders. He subsequently played and received double digit carries in eight games last season. He rushed for a total of 492 yards (a career high) and three touchdowns. Though he's played six seasons in the league, he's only played meaningful time the past two years, rushing for a combined 877 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Donald Brown/RB/Colts (5'10, 207lbs) – At the beginning on the 2013 season, it didn't appear that Donald Brown was going to get meaningful time on the field. But injuries to Colts starter Vick Ballard, backup Ahmad Bradshaw, and overall disappointing play from a man brought in midway through the year in Trent Richardson meant that Brown got some run with Indy this year. He played in all 16 games for the Colts and started five contests. He ran for a total of 537 yards and six touchdowns. Brown was also a threat in the passing game, catching 27 balls for 214 yards and two scores. (UPDATE 3/12: Donald Brown has agreed to terms with the San Diego Chargers.)
Toby Gerhart/RB/Vikings (6'0, 231lbs) – Mostly known as the man to backup Adrian Peterson in Minnesota, the Stanford product has shown flashes of powerful running ability. In limited action through four seasons as Peterson's fill-in with the Vikings, Gerhart has run 1,305 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 4.7 yards a carry. (UPDATE 3/11: Toby Gerhart has agreed to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars.)
Rashad Jennings/RB/Raiders (6'1, 231lbs) – In Jennings's first season with the Oakland Raiders after primarily serving as Maurice Jones-Drew's backup in Jacksonville, the 6th year vet out of Liberty competed with Darren McFadden for the starting job out by the bay. Jennings started eight games and played in 15 for the Silver and Black, rushing for a career high in yardage (733) and touchdowns (six). He also served as a competent receiver out of the backfield, catching 36 passes for 292 yards (also career highs). (UPDATE 3/12: Rashad Jennings has signed with the New York Giants.)
Maurice Jones-Drew/RB/Jaguars (5'7, 210lbs) – The biggest name and most experienced player on this list, Jones-Drew had what most would consider a down season for the three time All-Pro (2009-2011). The man affectionately known as MJD ran for 803 yards and only five scores last season, despite starting 15 games for Jacksonville. The NFL's leading rusher in 2011 and a three time Pro Bowler, Jones-Drew is a pint-sized powerhouse, and has been an every-down back in this league since 2009, when he became Jacksonville's starter. He holds several Jaguars rushing records, including the most career touchdowns (63), most touchdowns in a season (15 in 2009), and most yardage in a season (1,606 in 2011). (UPDATE 3/29: Maurice Jones-Drew has signed with the Oakland Raiders.)
Darren McFadden/RB/Raiders (6'1, 218lbs) – Darren McFadden came into the NFL with massive expectations after a tremendous college career at the University of Arkansas, but has yet to put together a full season in his six years in the NFL. McFadden has displayed flashes of greatness, but has been nagged by injuries his entire career. Last year was a rough one for Run-DMC, as he only played in 10 games, starting seven of them, and rushing for 379 yards and five touchdowns. McFadden has shown the ability to be a home run back and a productive player, as he ran for 1,157 yards and seven touchdowns in 2010, though he did miss three games that season as well. A change in scenery may do some good for the two-time All American. (UPDATE 3/11: Darren McFadden has re-signed with the Oakland Raiders.)
Knowshon Moreno/RB/Broncos (5'11, 220lbs) – A major part of the Denver's record setting 2013 offense, the Broncos' 2009 first round pick out of Georgia is coming off his best season in his five year NFL career. Playing in all 16 games and starting all but one, Moreno ran for a career best 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns. But Moreno's production wasn't limited to the ground. He caught 60 passes for 548 yards and three touchdowns. Though he's already played five seasons in the league, Moreno's been part of a revolving backfield for the Broncos for most of his career, and may be one of the freshest running backs available in free agency. UPDATE 3/29: Knowshon Moreno has signed with the Miami Dolphins.
Ben Tate/RB/Texans (5'11, 217lbs) – Tate was one of the league's best kept secrets sitting behind Arian Foster, but when Foster went down with a back injury and was placed on IR, Tate became a bright spot on one of the league's weakest offenses. Last season in 14 games (seven starts), Tate ran for 771 yards with what was effectively a revolving door at quarterback behind him. At age 25, Tate is the youngest of the backs on this list of top free agent tailbacks. (UPDATE 3/15: Ben Tate has signed with the Cleveland Browns.)

I am slamming my head against a wall here.
I am in the process of trying to find a way to show a higher than usual mountain range, similar to the edge of a Crater, surrounding an entire landmass. The landmass is not a perfect circular shape, but more rigid with a single chain of mountains that encompass the entire outer edges of the land. The parts facing the water would be steep cliffs while the inner portions would be inclines.
I am currently playing around with multiple mapping methods, from a topography style to a possible older map style with a legend and such. I can handle everything else, but this...this one thing is driving me up a wall!

Halifax County and the Roanoke Valley
They say "the spirit of independence" was born in Halifax County. When you visit here, you soon find out that you are free to do just about anything. The Roanoke Valley region has carefully preserved its heritage and natural wonders while welcoming any free spirit to have a good time. Your first stop should be Halifax County Visitors Center, 260 Premier Blvd., Roanoke Rapids, 27870 (800-522-4282 or www.visithalifax.com).
About 300 years ago, people from Virginia came into this area because the Roanoke River made it a promising place to farm, fish and grow industries. Siouan-speaking Saponi came down the river from western Virginia while white European colonists and black people, both free and enslaved, came from eastern Virginia. Today they all are still here farming, fishing and growing industries.
The Haliwa-Saponi mainly in the Hollister area number about 4,000, white people about 19,000, black people about 30,000. And the month of April is important to each community. The annual Haliwa-Saponi Pow-Wow, largest in the state, is the third weekend in April at the tribe's school grounds (39021 Hwy. 561, Hollister, 27844, 252-586-4017, www.haliwa-saponi.com). April 12 is Halifax Day in Historic Halifax, where in April 1776 planters and shakers here hosted the North Carolina 4th Provincial Congress that produced the first legislation declaring American independence from Britain. And it was in April 1986 when Concerned Citizens of Tillery began commemorating the contributions African Americans have made to the region (Tillery History House, Monday–Friday, 321 Community Rd., Tillery, 27887, 252-826-3017, www.cct78.org).
The Heritage
Although locals around 1759 held "riots" for independence in nearby Enfield, Historic Halifax today is a State Historic Site that recalls the 1770s–1830s when Halifax as the 18th century county seat (it still is) was the liveliest place along the river. Handsome, restored buildings show off the architecture and furnishings of the times when proud people conducted business, visited, entertained, attended court and frequented taverns. Some 14 buildings and sites are open to the public, and guides in period costumes make them interesting and fun. It's free and open Tuesday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. (252) 583-7191 or www.halifax.nchistoricsites.org.
Since 1976, the locally produced outdoor drama "First for Freedom" in late June and early July re-enacts the Halifax Resolves era at the impressive Halifax 4-H Rural Life Center, 13763 Highway 903, Halifax, 27839. Call 800-522-4282 or visit www.firstforfreedom.com
Roanoke Rapids always has been the industrial hub of the Roanoke Valley. It's here that the Roanoke River, from its source in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, tumbled on a geologic fall line of granite and dropped some 100 feet in just a few miles. The falls formed an obstacle to anyone transporting themselves and their goods. Like in other regions at the time, entrepreneurs and engineers figured out how to build a canal along the river to get around the falls. The 7.5-mile canal, built between 1819 and 1823, was the crowning achievement in opening the entire Roanoke River. The railroad era that began in the 1840s made river transportation less important, but the river itself powered mills and later electricity generators.
The Roanoke Canal Museum and Trail today explains all this and invites locals and visitors alike to meander a 7.8-mile trail from Roanoke Rapids Dam through Weldon. Along the way you see remnants of the canal structures, a corridor of quiet in this bustling city, parking places, interpretive signs, picnic areas and boating access on each end. The impressive museum, housed in a 1900 brick generator house, displays not only the Roanoke Rapids canal and industrial history, but also conveys the importance of rockfish on the river (they come up from the coast every spring to spawn), as well as significant events in the city's history. The museum is open Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., and costs $4. The trail is open daily from dawn to dusk. (252) 537-2769 or www.roanokecanal.com
Nature and Recreation
Medoc Mountain State Park is 2,300 acres on the same granite fall line that made the Roanoke River rapids. It's more of a slope than a mountain. When the Weller family operated a big vineyard and winery here in the 1800s, they named it after a French wine-making region. After a logging period, local people proposed a state park in 1970, and Medoc Mountain opened soon after. You can hike in peace and see lots of birds, flowers and trees. Horses are welcome on 10 miles of trails. Little Fishing Creek is good for fishing and paddling, as well as for the Carolina mudpuppy salamander who exists only in this river basin. A large open space and its picnic shelter invites group outings. Ask the rangers about programs and the campground. The park is at 1541 Medoc State Park Rd, Hollister, 27844, (252) 586-6588 or www.ncparks.gov.
Opened in Scotland Neck in 2006, the 18-acre Sylvan Heights Bird Park has more waterfowl in one place than you'll see anywhere in the world. The programs are great for kids, too. Sylvan Heights also is known internationally for its work in preserving rare bird species. Visit here year-round Tuesday–Sunday. The admission price ranges from $9 to $5. It's at 220 Lees Meadow Rd., Scotland Neck, 27874, (252) 826-3186 or www.shwpark.com.
Soon after Virginia Electric in 1963 built a dam here creating a 20,000-acre reservoir, Lake Gaston became a popular recreation and vacation home site. Like its predecessor on Roanoke Rapids Lake downstream, the dam provides Dominion Power with electricity for this part of the state. Dominion maintains day-use areas at both lakes (Wednesday–Saturday), and N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission maintains boating access sites (919-707-0220 or www.ncwildlife.org). The area has guides and marinas to help you navigate (http://lakegastonchamber.com). Besides fishing and boating, Lake Gaston is home to wakeboarding (water skiing with a special surfboard) thanks to world champion wakeboarder Adam Fields. Visit www.AFWAKE.com or www.WakeSurfNC.com.
A major project of The Nature Conservancy in recent years has been to place some 94,500 acres of wildlands along the Roanoke River in managed conservation. Various agencies are involved now so that the entire river from Roanoke Rapids to the Albemarle Sound is ideal for paddling, fishing, camping, birding, cultural pursuits and general inspiration. Get information from www.nature.org/northcarolina or www.roanokeriverpartners.org. The wildly painted 6-foot rockfish statues seen throughout this area, co-sponsored by North Carolina's Touchstone Energy cooperatives, celebrate the importance of striped bass to the Roanoke Valley. These big fish come upriver in spring to spawn, and anglers from far and wide come with them. With a license, you can catch and release the fish in May and June, or keep them within limits in March and April. Find out more at (919) 707-0220 or www.ncwildlife.org.
Shopping, Eating and Staying
All the communities in the Roanoke Valley have local restaurants with eastern North Carolina specialties. (The chains are on Hwy. 158.) You can stay in major hotels off I-95 or local inns and motels. The main streets have good stores, but the well-known sites are Aunt Ruby's Peanuts in Enfield and Riverside Mill in Weldon. Riverside Mill is a nicely converted cotton mill housing a spacious display of art, crafts, gifts, clothing, antiques and furniture (252-536-3100 or www.riversidemill.net).

I'm heading out of state into 704 / 705 for a DIY mule deer hunt in mid Nov. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do any real scouting and I'm going in blind and that's fine. I've studdied BLM maps, Delorme Atlas, Google earth and at this point I've located some areas that I'm going to try.
Not my first time hunting Monatana as I did hunt the Dillon area last year for elk and antelope. Did not get an elk but did get a nice goat. Anyway, while I was in soutwest Montana I did see several camps on public land but that was October and it was a different kind of area all together.
I'm bringing a small trailer and I plan to hike into either BLM or Block Management areas to locate deer. Since I don't see any "campgrounds" real close to these areas, I'm hoping to that I could set up on a peice of BLM land close to the areas I want to hunt. I know it will be cold, but I don't know much about the area as far as where or if you could make a decent camp.
Do the roads usually hold up well? I do have a 4x4 with chains. Are there lots of areas where people do camp on BLM land in the southeast? Am I crazy to try it in this area at this time of year? I have not tried to make any reservations yet on the block managment areas but I'm guessing they probably would not allow overnighters?
Appreciate any info. I don't have much big game info to share as I am still relatively new to "out of state" big game hunting. I have done several DIY floats flyfishing on the Kenai for silvers, rainbows and dolly's that could share.

Iran: If Damascus is attacked Tel Aviv will be set on fire!–The Obama-Syro war
Newscast Media TEHRAN—Iran is convinced that an attack on Syria is justification for an immediate attack on Israel. A military source that spoke on condition of anonymity told FARS News Agency, "If Damascus comes under attack, Tel Aviv will be targeted too and a full-scale war against Syria will actually issue a license for attacking Israel, the source said. "We are rest assured that if Syria is attacked, Israel will also be set on fire and such an attack will, in turn, engage Syria's neighbors," the anonymous source added.
FARS also reported, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) underlined that Islamic resistance movements and Damascus are fully ready to confront and respond to any potential US attack on the Muslim country, reiterating preparedness for the worst and most dangerous scenarios.
"The Islamic resistance and Syria have prepared themselves for the most dangerous options," PFLP-GC's Information Dissemination Director Anwar Raja told FNA's correspondent in Damascus on Tuesday.
He pointed to the preparedness of the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements to confront possible threats and aggressions in the region, and said, "If needed these two Islamic resistance movements are fully ready to carry out the necessary missions."
Russia doesn't have to act immediately, all Moscow needs to do is funnel weapons to Iran, which will then funnel them into Syria, and the battle is on.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- From 1974 to 1981, AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Dick Burleson won eight consecutive AMA Grand National Enduro Championships during his remarkable career, earning the nickname "King Richard." This July 19-21, Burleson's triumphs will be celebrated when he serves as the grand marshal for BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring the riders and champions of Husqvarna, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
"Dick Burleson's dominant run in the AMA Grand National Enduro Championships is legendary," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "His dedication to competition and his focus on excellence produced a winning streak that included some of Husqvarna's greatest titles in the country's leading off-road championship. BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days is the perfect venue to honor Dick Burleson's accomplishments, and we are very pleased that he will be our grand marshal."
BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring the riders and champions of Husqvarna, includes vintage racing, bike shows, seminars and an expansive motorcycle swap meet. It is a fundraiser for the 501(c)(3) AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Pickerington, Ohio.
"It will be a blast to share memories of winning titles on Husqvarnas with fellow riders, fans of motorcycling and supporters of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame," Burleson said. "Off-road motorcycle technology has come a long way, but the sport is still about the thrills of pushing your limits on the track while enjoying time with friends off it -- that never changes. We're going to have a great time in Lexington this July 19-21."
In addition to his incredible domestic record, Burleson also won eight consecutive gold medals in the world's top off-road competitive event, the International Six Days Trials (now called the International Six Days Enduro).
Burleson was born in Johnson City, Tenn., in 1948. His family moved to St. Joseph, Mich., when he was 2 years old. Burleson first began riding at 18, and in the late 1960s he excelled at motocross.
Burleson's off-road career took a leap in 1971 when AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer John Penton invited Burleson to race on the American Trophy team that was competing in the International Six Days Trials at the Isle of Man.
Burleson continued competing in international competition as well as domestically, and in 1974, Burleson earned his first AMA National Enduro Championship. He also earned his first gold medal in ISDT competition, in Italy. That kicked off an amazing eight-year period when Burleson won the AMA Grand National Enduro title each year.
To meet Burleson and learn more about his Hall of Fame career -- including his final title that came down to the last section of the last race vs. his protégé and fellow Husqvarna rider Terry Cunningham -- make plans to attend BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring the riders and champions of Husqvarna. For tickets, visit www.midohio.com or call (800) 643-6446.
With proceeds supporting the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring the riders and champions of Husqvarna, is the country's premier celebration of vintage motorcycles and motorcycling heritage. A sampling of the activities includes the AMA Classic Field Meet Challenge, amateur national championship roadracing, motocross, hare scrambles, trials and dirt-track in vintage classes, a motorcycle skills test, a Wall of Death stunt show, and demo rides of current street and off-road motorcycles. The weekend also features North America's largest motorcycle swap meet, bike shows, seminars on a number of topics by noted motorcycling experts and autograph sessions with AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers.

New York has Coney Island dogs, Hawaii is the home of puka dogs, and the Windy City is famous for Chicago dogs. The District has its own specialty sausage: the half-smoke. For more than half a century, these kielbasa-sized wieners have been D.C.'s favorite street food.
Like many regional favorites, there is a long-standing debate over what constitutes a classic half-smoke, but there are some generally agreed upon elements.
First of all, there should be a snap when you bite through the casing. The meat mixture inside is oftentimes half pork and half beef, possessing both slightly spicy and smoky notes. Either grilled whole or split down the middle, these quarter pounders are then popped into fresh steamed or griddled buns. Toppings vary, but almost always include chili with some spots adding a combination of shredded cheddar, a squirt of mustard, freshly diced onions and relish.
Finish reading this story on the Endless DC site now.

As you can tell, Samoa Cookies are my most favorite of the Girl Scout Cookies. Honestly- what is not to love about shortbread, caramel, coconut and chocolate?! A mix of my favorite things!
With Girl Scout Cookie season around the corner, I have been making a lot of recipes inspired by that incredible cookie and this is another one- and it is DIVINE!
The cookie is soft- not a crispy shortbread. They have a gooey caramel center and the cookie itself is a delicious toasted coconut and semi-sweet chocolate drizzle. They truly are fantastic! I could not stop eating them! Seriously, this is one cookie you are definitely going to want to make!
- 2 cups toasted coconut
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups flour
- 14 ounces Peter's caramel (it comes in a block at kitchen specialty stores) or Kraft Caramel Cubes
- 2 Tablespoons evaporated milk
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 Tablespoons heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix both the toasted and sweetened coconuts together, reserving ¼ cup to garnish, on a large plate and set aside.
- In a small bowl place the slightly beaten eggs and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar and cream together. Add vanilla and beat again. With mixer on low, gradually add flour and salt and beat until just combined.
- Roll dough into 1¼ inch balls, then roll them in the egg mixture and then roll them in the coconut mixture and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Make an indentation with your thumb or a round spoon in the center of each ball and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and once again press spoon into the cookies and return to the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on cooling racks.
- While cookies are cooling place caramel and evaporated milk in a microwaveable bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir and repeat in 30 second increments until it is smooth, stirring in between each increment.
- Fill the cookies with enough caramel to fill the indention.
- In another small microwavable bowl combine chocolate and cream. Heat for 1 minute and stir. Repeat in 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth, stirring between each increment. Pour into a ziplock bag and snip off the end and drizzle chocolate over the cookies and sprinkle reserved toasted coconut over the top.

(Sports Network) - The New York Rangers shoot for a ninth straight home win
over the Islanders on Thursday when the rivals square off at Madison Square
The Rangers extended that run over the Isles with a win last Thursday and have
won two more since that victory. On Tuesday, the Rangers beat Boston, but it
wasn't easy, as they blew a three-goal lead in the third period to the Bruins.
Ryan Callahan managed to avert disaster, though, as he scored in the fourth
round of the shootout to give the Blueshirts a 4-3 win.
"We showed some character in not giving up and not folding the tent in
overtime," Callahan said.
Carl Hagelin, Derek Stepan and Anton Stralman all had goals in regulation for
the Rangers, who have won six of their last eight. Hagelin has now lit the
lamp in three times, while assisting on another in his last two games.
Henrik Lundqvist came up with 37 saves through overtime in the triumph, then
turned aside three of the four Boston skaters he faced in the deciding phase
to help New York prevail. Lundqvist, though, allowed two goals in the final
1:31 to allow the Bruins to tie.
Lundqvist has won seven straight home starts versus the Isles, while compiling
a 1.27 goals-against average and posting three shutouts.
A bad trend continued in Boston, however, as the Rangers were whistled for yet
another bench penalty for having too many men on the ice. They lead the league
in that category this season.
"It (stinks). It's stupid. It (stinks). It's brutal. I can use a lot of
different things," coach John Tortorella said.
The Islanders, meanwhile, are headed in the opposite direction and lost for
the fifth straight time on Monday, falling to Carolina Hurricanes, 6-4. Matt
Moulson notched two goals and an assist for the Isles, who scored four times
on the power play.
John Tavares scored once and assisted on another for the Islanders, with
Lubomir Visnovsky registering a pair of helpers in the setback. Tavares has a
goal in three straight games.
Rick DiPietro stopped 25-of-30 shots for the Islanders in his first start
since Jan. 25.
"We're working hard. That's all we can do," DiPietro said. "The difference
between winning and losing is so small -- it's one mistake here, one bad play
there. If we continue to play hard and make smart decisions, we're going to
win a lot more games than we lose."
Evgeni Nabokov will likely be back between the pipes on Thursday and is
4-5-1 on the year with a .897 save percentage and a 3.00 goals-against-
The Rangers, who have not lost at home in this series since Dec. 26, 2009,
have also registered at least one point in 14 of their last 17 games against
the Islanders, posting a record of 12-3-2 over the span, dating back to a 5-2
win on Dec. 17, 2009, on Long Island.

Home > Surgical Procedures > Ear Tube Surgery
1325 S Cliff AvenueSioux Falls, SD 57117-5045View a map605-322-8000
Ear infections are very common amongst children. When a child has recurrent ear infections or persistent fluid build-up in the ears that cause hearing problems or speech delays, a doctor may recommend a Myringotomy.
A Myringotomy is a procedure that involves placing tubes through the eardrums to equalize the pressure. A small incision is made in the eardrum and any fluid in the ear is removed. In nearly all situations, a tiny plastic tube is inserted into the eardrum to keep the middle ear exposed to oxygen for an extended period of time. These ventilating tubes stay in place for six months to several years. In time, they will move out of the eardrum and fall into the ear canal. Your doctor may take out the tube during a routine office visit or it may simply fall out of the ear on its own.
Ear tube insertion may be done when fluid builds up behind your child's eardrum and:
If an infection does not go away with treatment, or if a child has numerous ear infections over a short period of time, the doctor may recommend ear tubes.
Ear tubes are also used for people of any age who have the following symptoms:
In the operating room, your child will be asleep and under general anesthesia. The procedure typically only takes 10-15 minutes. After the anesthetic takes affect, the surgeon will make a small surgical cut in the eardrum. Any fluid that has collected behind the eardrum will be removed with suction through this cut. A small tube is then placed through the eardrum. The tube allows air to flow in so that pressure is the same on both sides of the eardrum. Also, trapped fluid can flow out of the middle ear, which prevents hearing loss and reduces the risk of ear infections.
Your child's ear doctor may ask for a medical history and physical exam of your child before the surgery is done. A hearing test is also recommended before the procedure is performed.
Prior to the procedure
Make sure to communicate to your child's doctor or nurse what drugs your child is currently taking. Also include any drugs, herbs, or vitamins you may have bought without a prescription.
List any allergies your child may have to any medications, latex, tape, or skin cleaner
On the day of the surgery
The doctor will make sure your child is healthy enough for surgery. If your child is ill or has a fever, the surgery may be delayed. However, still go to the surgical facility as planned. Your doctor will decide if it is safe to proceed with the surgery.
Children are taken to a recovery room for a short period of time after the surgery to be monitored by a nurse. He or she should be able to leave the hospital the same day as the ear tubes are inserted. Your child may be groggy and fussy for an hour or so while waking up from anesthesia. Your child's doctor may prescribe eardrops or antibiotics for a few days after the surgery. Most kids can return to normal activities the day after the surgery. Some ear doctors may recommend using earplugs or swimmer's headbands while swimming or bathing to keep water out of the ears. If earplugs are not recommended for these activities, they may be suggested for diving in deep water. Make sure to check with your health care provider.
The surgical cut will heal without stitches. Once the incision has closed, the ear tubes will fall out after 14 months or so on their own. If the tubes do not fall out on their own in a few years, an ear specialist may have to remove them. If ear infections return after the tubes fall out, another set of ear tubes can be inserted.
After this procedure, most parents report that their children have fewer ear infections and recover more quickly from infections.
Risks and Complications
Despite ear tube surgery being extremely common, minor complications are still possible. These include:

I wrote an introduction to this topic a while back. Now that I've established sort of a blog framework, highlighting the essence and cherries of cycling in Amsterdam (and the Netherlands), I'd like to actually act on what I promised: giving the out-of-towners a few handy (and probably life/face saving) tips before they hop on and venture into the city on their own.
However quaint and lovely this Amsterdam looks, don't be fooled. When it comes to riding around town, you need to be overly aware of all modes of traffic that swiftly move around everyday and share this extremely compact city:
Ok, the first rule of this series obviously has to do with you, the newbie, the guest, the cycling visiteur being among others. Those 'others' would be us, the locals, going from A to B, to C, D, Z and back, ziggedyzag. Day by day, for every errand, for every task, for any venture, we take our bikes and we rule. Mind you, it's in our blood, we don't consider it a culture or something quaint. It's there, we use it, period. We don't know any better.
First, there's one important thing I'd like to get out of the way. When you visit and you decide to cycle around, do me and yourself a favor, forget ALL that you think you know about (city) cycling. Why? Because your preconceptions and experiences from home will cloud your judgement. Open your mind, get a grip, try to understand this…in this town you are Nr 1. Yes, YOU, on the bike, are Number 1. Not just for 'green' coolness and efficiency, no. 99% of the time you have right of way, cars will be mindful, stop, etc, because drivers are cyclists too. Plus, by law, no matter what mistake you make as a cyclist, you can not be faulted. Aka, in any circumstance, no matter what happens, the car driver will be liable for prosecution for not being careful enough. How's that, huh? (Just be aware of the speedy trams)
I'm well aware that Amsterdam has its perks and while you're pumped up about being in this mythical and notorious town, nothing's seems more fun than mixing up some doobies with a few drinks and then ride the red monster. For argument's sake, let me disregard that daring prospect for now and deal with it later in another Unwritten Cycle Rule.
Rule #1 is aimed at those that are:
For most tourists Amsterdam can be overwhelming, disorienting, strange, weird/quirky, unexpecting and a lot of other things. And that's fine, would be weird if it was anything else, right? The last thing you want to do, as a newbie Amsterdam cyclist, is not appreciate these facts and let them sink into your brain. Unfamiliar grounds, people, traffic, situations, sounds, smells, etc etc.
So, before you mount the (rented) bicycle, be honest with yourself:
If you think you didn't score that well and you're still being honest, then we're on to something. A lot of those millions of tourists that have been so bold to discover this town by bike weren't so honest. I'd know, I've seen them fail, put themselves in harm's way and basically give tourists a bad name (among the locals).
But I don't want to spook you…because that would be bad, there's enough bike related fear mongering going on in this world already. I want you to have fun, without having to worry too much about whether it's safe or not. The activity of biking in itself is harmless, you've just been brainwashed and violated a lot in the course of your life, because nobody provided you with the habitat to do so.
When I talk about Amsterdam's bike infrastructure, I don't mean we painted a few lines on the road. No, I'm talking about actual bike lanes, signs, traffic lights, roundabouts, intersections, parking garages, designated hubs, the works. All part of making a city for the people, not cars. And, no, we didn't implement that for tourists, what did you think this place is, Disneyland? :-)
Hence, regarding biking in Amsterdam, you could take these easy pointers to heart:
What I've tried to address in this first rule and its pointers is the fact that you need to be aware of 2 important phenomenons:
Amsterdamizer Alan added his words of advice as well:
As a non-native that has lived and obviously cycled in Amsterdam, can I add a couple of points?
However much you've looked at a map or Google Earth the reality on the ground can look confusing with the compact, concentric layout and bits of water everywhere:-)
If you're not going to be following the Amsterdamizer around (or even if you are..):
Wander around on foot with a map for a while in the area you're going to first cycle in, and watch how the practical bits of the bike structure works. Try and memorise a little route round for a first run, it's one less worry if you vaguely know where you're going.
Then off you go, and remember there's probably a lot more zigging and zagging than in any other city you've ever cycled in.
Oh, and make sure the bell on your bike works properly, and keep your thumb near it. You'll soon discover why!
Now I'm even more envious I'm not back there..:-(
Thanks, Alan! And as a final 'instruction', watch this ride:
Stay tuned for Amsterdamize's Unwritten Cycle Rule #2!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The State of Florida is starting to chip away at a wait list that disabled people say holds them back.
On Wednesday morning, Governor Rick Scott visited Pine Castle in Jacksonville's Englewood neighborhood.
Scott announced $36.3 million is going in the state's 2013-2014 budget for Medicaid disability waivers.
He said this is the first time in eight years the funding has been available.
The money will help remove 750 disabled people from the waiver wait list so they can pay for crucial services like education and housing.
"This is a group of individuals that need help in our state. Our state budget is better because people are moving back to our state. People are getting jobs in our state. And now that we have a better budget, we need to invest in wise things," Scott said.
25-year-old Moira Rossi of Jacksonville is a waiver recipient. She said it helped her get a job and an apartment.
"If we didn't have the waiver, we would not get the services. But we can't get the services without the waiver. So both of them really connect in a way," she said.
Without a waiver, Jonathan May, the executive director of Pine Castle, said disabled people often run out of options after high school.
"They're left at home," he said.
The waiver money won't be available until July 1, according to Scott.
He admitted the budgeted amount is not enough to completely clear out the wait list.
But he said it is his priority to continue to chip away at it as the recovery continues in Florida, he said.

Comments about UFC® MMA Boxing Gloves:
At first I purchased another brand of gloves which I returned. Before I left I decided to curiously check these out. I must say, the comfort level of the gloves are AMAZING. They fit great with hand wraps and the thumb lock is just great. Don't let the "UFC" logo fool you, these gloves are great for both MMA and boxing (which is why I use them for). It turns out Century (my favorite boxing brand) makes these UFC licensed gloves, so it was no surprise I liked them so much. If you can get past the tacky logos and colors, they are a great pair of gloves to own. At $10 less than similar gloves from competitors, you cant beat it. Give them a try.
