Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
Garrison Dam dedicated 60 years ago
RIVERDALE Sixty years ago this month, the Garrison Dam that was being constructed at Riverdale was dedicated. The day after the ceremony, work continued on at the site.
The Garrison Dam was planned as the world's largest rolled earth dam, with a lake (now Lake Sakakawea) extending 200 miles upstream. 1953 was the year the construction work had reached the point of closing the Missouri River diverting the water through several tunnels and closing off the present channel.
The dedication ceremony on Thursday, June 11, 1953, brought to North Dakota President Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower. During his visit here, he stayed at the Clarence Parker Hotel in Minot, giving that facility the notoriety of having a U.S. president stay overnight there.
A special car, an open, 7-passenger Chrysler Imperial, was brought to Minot at no expense to the local arrangements committee by De Soto Motor Corp. in Detroit, for Eisenhower to ride in from the airport to the downtown Minot hotel so thousands of people could see the president.
Hal S. Davies, publisher of The Minot Daily News, served as chairman of the Invitations Committee for the dedication, a group that sent out more than 250 persons, including members of Congress and officials of Missouri River basin states.
According to The Minot Daily News files when the dedication ceremony took place:
Addressing a crowd estimated at from 5,000 to 20,000 people at Riverdale on June 12, 1953, Eisenhower said the federal government must work in partnership with state and local governments and private industry to develop the nation's natural resources.
The ceremony marked a stage of completion of the federally-financed $305 million dam.
Listening to Eisenhower's 15-minute informal speech, the crowd sat in the bright sunshine on the green, grassy slopes of the dam's west embankment.
He told the group that it is almost frightening to project our minds 50 years in the future and try to see what it will bring in the way of improvement. He said the improvements in cultivation, control of floods will become commonplace.
He said all branches of government and all people have a part to play in the future developments such as the Garrison Dam.
He said both the federal government, with its reserve of money, must participate as well as the state having a distinct function. Otherwise, he said, too much power will be concentrated in Washington.
Too much power in Washington, Eisenhower declared, could result in telling the people what they can and cannot do. And Eisenhower told his listeners there is always a place in this country for private enterprise.
The crowd at the dedication applauded when Eisenhower remarked: "Garrison Dam was built with the people's money and its benefits shall go to the people."
Eisenhower urged his listeners not to forget the spiritual strength of America, and that the people must stand fearless and unafraid.
Members of the Three Affiliated Tribes, from whose reservation was taken much of the land to accommodate the Garrison reservoir, had a special part in the program at Riverdale, The Minot Daily News reported.
Marilyn Hudson, of Parshall, administrator of the Three Tribes Museum near New Town, said her father, Martin Cross, who was chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes, was at the ceremony. She said a color guard from Fort Berthold Reservation met Eisenhower when he arrived in Minot. The color guard members were war veterans.
Besides those at the dedication ceremony, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said another 10,000 people had gathered along the route of the presidential procession, with 25 North Dakota Highway Patrol and 175 members of the National Guard stationed at intersections between Minot, the dam and Bismarck. Some of the Guardsmen also had served under Eisenhower during World War II.
But the day after the dedication, the machinery roared back into action, to work on building the dam that was still only half completed.
Work on the dam had started several years earlier.
On Oct. 4, 1947, the first shovel of dirt for the dam was turned on the excavation of the dam proper, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers information. This was preceded by about one year of preparatory work, during which some temporary housing, the connecting highway and railroad, and the construction bridge were built. By Dec. 31, 1951, about 46.9 million yards of material had been excavated and 34.4 million yards of the material segregated and placed in the dam, The Minot Daily News reported. The newspaper reported in August 1952 that employment by contractors at the dam in 1952 had been fluctuating between a high of 2,500 and a low of 2,200 that summer. Contractors had hired every man they could get from common labor up through the various skilled trades. Iron workers and carpenters were needed most.
The dam's huge reservoir was expected to take three to 10 years to fill.
According to the Corps, the dam was completed in 1954. It has a volume of 66.5 million cubic yards of rolled earth fill. The dam is 2 1/2 miles long, 1/2 mile wide at the base and 60 feet wide at the top and 210 feet high. It would require a train 16,000 miles long or 2 million freight cars to carry all of the fill in the dam.
The dam's first generator went into hydroelectric power production in January 1956. Other generators were added. In 1960, the Corps announced the fifth generator was put on line and the dam was considered finished completing a 13-year project. The fifth generator increased the power potential to 400,000 kilowatts and made the dam the largest power producer at that time operating in the Missouri River valley.
Close to 400,000 acres of land were acquired to provide space for the huge reservoir, and thousands of people had to give up their homes and land bases to make it possible, The Minot Daily News reported in 1960.
Hudson said about 152,400 acres of the land taken for the reservoir was Fort Berthold Reservation land according to official documents. She said the majority of that reservation land was owned by individual tribal members and the rest was owned by the Three Affiliated Tribes. The Fort Berthold acreage for the Garrison Dam project amounted to about 25 percent of the reservation land, she said.
An editorial in The Minot Daily News in 1960 said: "But for North Dakotans the task of realizing substantial benefits from it (Garrison Dam) in the form of water for irrigation and for municipal and industrial use, has barely begun. We have a lot of human engineering ahead of us most of it to be accomplished in Congress before the blue waters of Lake Garrison (today's Lake Sakakawea) mean something more to us than a surface to go boating on."

HMRC appeal over Rangers case
An appeal has been lodged by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over a tax tribunal which ruled in favour of oldco Rangers' use of Employee Benefit Trusts (EBTs).
- Related Content
Rangers effectively won its "big tax case" in November, following a First Tier Tax Tribunal which heard the club's appeal over a bill relating to the use of EBTs.
A majority verdict was delivered that allowed the appeal in principle and declared that the assessments of HMRC be "reduced substantially".
Two of the three judges decreed that only some of the payments made to players through EBTs were taxable but that many of them could be described as loans, as the club had argued.
In a statement, two tribunal judges agreed with the club's outline case.
They stated: "The majority view reflects the argument that the controversial monies received by the employees were not paid to them as their absolute entitlement.
"Thus the payments are loans, not earnings."
HMRC said at the time it was "disappointed" with the decision, and a spokesman said on Monday: "We have lodged our appeal on the Rangers EBT case."
Rangers was under the control of Sir David Murray when it began using EBTs. He sold the club for £1 to Craig Whyte in 2011, while the tax liability was in dispute. The old club went into administration in February last year, owing up to £134 million to unsecured creditors.
The decision came too late to save oldco Rangers from being wound up and does not directly affect the current Ibrox regime.
The club was relaunched as a new corporate entity in June when the original company was consigned to liquidation.

Italian Rice Balls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced small
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley leaves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups cooked and cooled Arborio rice (cooked until just done, not overcooked)
- 2 cups grated Parmesan
- Canola oil, for frying
- 5 eggs
- 3 cups breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning
- Marinara Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
- Marinara Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Three 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, including liquid
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and saute the garlic and onions until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the meat and cook until browned, breaking up large pieces as it cooks. Strain off excess fat from the skillet. Add the parsley and cook, about 3 minutes. Add the thyme, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne and red pepper flakes. Taste and add more seasoning if needed. Keep in mind that rice and cheese contain salt so be careful not to over salt the meat mixture. Let the meat mixture cool a bit. Add the tomato sauce. Combine the rice with the cheese but be careful not to mash the rice. Add the rice mixture to the meat mixture and stir gently to combine. Check the seasonings. Add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a small to medium ice cream scoop (number 10) to shape the balls so they are a consistent size, and then hand roll the balls as tightly as you can.
Pour enough canola oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven to reach 5 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F; use a deep-fry thermometer to check the oil temperature.
Whisk the eggs in a small baking dish. Place the breadcrumbs in another baking dish. Roll the rice balls lightly in the eggs and then immediately roll in the breadcrumbs to form a coating. Shake off the excess breadcrumbs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to fry.
To fry, carefully drop the rice balls into the hot oil, a few at a time, taking care not to overcrowd and lower the oil temperature. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per batch. Bring the oil back up to 350 degrees F before cooking each batch. Drain the rice balls on paper towels before serving.
Serve with Marinara Sauce for dipping. Garnish with the basil.
This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a large pot. Add the onions and cook until translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Use some of the liquid from the tomatoes to deglaze the pan, and then add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Use an immersion blender to puree, taking care to leave the tomatoes slightly chunky. (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can add everything to a blender or food processor.)
Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from burning on the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1 hour or longer so that the marinara thickens as some of the liquid cooks out. Check seasoning prior to serving. Add salt as necessary.

Barnard's newest class arrives on campus.
The Constellations Regroup at Barnard
Barnard welcomes its newest class to campus.
My main source of stress coming to college was the question of roommate compatibility. I was doubtful that filling out a one-page survey would actually convey enough about me for Steve Tolman, the Assistant Director of Residential Life, to pair me with a suitable roommate. Tolman works all summer to pair future roommates together by hand, rather than using a computerized system. "We get invested in students before they get here," says Tolman, "We actually know about the 580 individuals before they ever set foot on campus."
Watch a candid video about life in the Residence Halls. Residential Assistants and current First-Years offer advice about learning to live with and love your roommate and finding a balance between school, life and play.
Members of the class of 2014 finally arrived on Barnard's campus on August 30th, 2010.


text: Professional chefs know that the proper weight and balance of a knife are just as vital as a strong, sharp edge. Crafted in Germany, the Four Star II collection delivers on all counts with a superior hand feel and high-carbon steel blades forged for optimal sharpness. The stout, weighty blade of this cleaver cuts through bones and firm joints with ease and is equally adept at chopping and mincing firm vegetables.

I disagree with a lot of what you said, but like I said I'm done with it.
One last question though, and I'll give my answer as well. Where do you see him projected out as then?
I'm going to stay with the Felton comp, but a little more PPG because he takes more shots. I will say I'm not as impressed as you that he was calling the sets for his team. That's not a skill that will add very much value over time, and I can't recall any PG's in the league that didn't make it because they couldn't figure out what set to call.
I mean, it's better to be able to learn it now than not, but it's not like it's a benefit for the future.

I had to sand it repeatedly with 60 grit paper on a palm sander, and it never all came off. What I did was sand, then clean with Barkeepers Friend, then repeat (around 5 or 6 times, if I remember well). I would stay away from a wire wheel since it will likely give you a lot of surface imperfections, which *might* make it more likely that you'll end up with sticking problems. Barry
The purpose of the alcohol is to remove oil. If you have to mechanically remove whatever this is, it isn't oil. Make sure to wear sleeves, gloves and eye protection while using the wire wheel. They tend to throw their bristles.
An overnight soaking in vinegar and then a light sanding will take it off.For me, I wouldn't mess around. Naval jelly. Follow the directions, wear proper gloves and do it outdoors.
Reading your last comment it sounds like you are trying to remove the mill scale. If that is indeed the case it is generally done using smooth continuos strokes with a grinding wheel in an angle grinder. Down side to that method is without a bit of practice odds are you aren't going to end up with a smooth finish. Personally I leave the scale on as it is basically made of the same thing as blue steel and will not cause any harm.
maybe ill use muratic acid...
I'm out. This has gone from simple to acid.My final .02
Find a shop that does glass beading. It's like sand blasting but much gentler on the steel. Maybe the shop where you bought it?
Hit it with millisecond pulses from a megawatt-class chemical oxygen iodine laser.
DJ, I'm glad the vinegar worked out well for you. Naval Jelly is the same premise, but, being a much stronger acid will get the job done faster.I've never heard stories of iron oxide on blue steel pans giving off a black film when rubbed. Even if they did, the seasoning and lower temperature use would seal the oxide in. I really think a vinegar soak/no seasoning is the way to go, and, for those with less patience, naval jelly.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't mill scale just various iron oxides and completely harmless?

Michael N. Greenwald serves as the Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Quito, Ecuador.
Ecuador is a beautiful country with a varied geography of warm coastal plains, cool central mountains, and Amazon rain forest. The forces that created this landscape, however, are still active today, making the country susceptible to natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods.
Over the past weeks two events have affected the country, causing widespread damage and forcing thousands of people from their homes. Tungurahua volcano, 120 km south of the capital Quito in Tungurahua province, started showing new activity in early January, and on February 7 it erupted. At about the same time, it began to rain almost continuously in much of Ecuador, causing devastating floods in the coastal provinces of Manabi, Guayas and El Oro that took lives, destroyed crops and disrupted people's livelihoods. In response to a request from the Government of Ecuador, on Feb. 21 U.S. Ambassador to Ecuador Linda Jewell declared Ecuador's coastal flooding a disaster, releasing U.S. Government funds for humanitarian assistance.
The U.S. Government, and U.S. NGOs such as the American Red Cross and Samaritan's Purse, responded to the flooding with donations of relief supplies to the victims and logistical support to the Ecuadorian government. Over $600,000 of services and supplies, including hygiene kits, plastic sheeting, water and water purification units, mattresses, bedding, mosquito nets and kitchen materials were donated, and an additional $450,000 in grants are in negotiation now.
The American Red Cross, in cooperation with the Ecuadorian Red Cross, has received relief supplies and distributed them to affected families in five provinces. The U.S. humanitarian NGO Samaritan's Purse is using private funds to build 104 homes to resettle families evacuated from the most dangerous areas on the slopes of Tungurahua, and provided mobile clinics and safe water facilities for flood victims on the coast. Specialists from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been working closely with Ecuadorian government ministries to coordinate damage reports and to allocate relief efforts. The Ecuadorian Minister of the Coast said in a meeting, "USAID and Red Cross were among the first ones in there."
In addition, over the past years the U.S. Embassy in Ecuador has been helping the Government of Ecuador to prepare for the natural disasters that periodically occur in this country of 12 million people. USAID has helped to improve the human and physical capabilities of Ecuador's Instituto Geofisico to monitor seismic activity caused by magma moving within the country's five most active volcanoes. This early warning system allowed thousands of people to evacuate safely before Tungurahua erupted in 2006. The U.S. Military Group of the U.S. Embassy, Quito has funded the construction of two Emergency Operation Centers in Quito and Guayaquil. These EOC buildings were donated to the Civil Defense Department of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Internal and External Security to be used by government officials to coordinate their disaster response efforts. The United States Government will build three more EOCs in the cities of Coca and Cuenca and in the Galapagos Islands. Annual training in disaster response by USAID reaches hundreds of Ecuadorian firemen, Red Cross volunteers, and other first responders every year, for a total of some 7,500 trainees since 1988.
These efforts to assist the Government of Ecuador coordinate its disaster response and to help disaster victims in Ecuador, including disaster preparedness efforts and donations of relief supplies, demonstrate the commitment of the U.S. Government and the American people to help our neighbors in need in the Western Hemisphere.
Jose in Ecuador writes:
Great Job!
NB in Pakistan writes:
It's America to the help of mankind, yet again, and again, and again.
The massive help America gave to the victims of Tsonami in Indonesia and the earthquake in Pakistan should not be ignored by the critics of America. It's America that's always there answering to the call of help and yet the ignorant masses of the world remain ungrateful. I will not point fingers towards some of the ungrateful critics who write on DIPNOTE blogs but I will definitely say: God Bless America!

World champ Korobov joins Russia's boxing shame
BEIJING (AP) Zou Shiming entered the ring with a cocky sidestep shuffle, blowing kisses to his roaring fans even before throwing a punch. The king of the Beijing ring clearly enjoys his Olympic reign.
A few perilous minutes later, China's favorite fighter left that ring humbled and shaking, but still alive in his bid to win the nation a first boxing gold medal.
With world champions already falling like golden dominoes in the Olympic tournament, two more had dangerous bouts Saturday - and Matvey Korobov wasn't as fortunate as the hometown favorite.
Bakhtiyar Artayev of Kazakhstan pulled the biggest upset yet in a tournament full of topsy-turvy results, rallying from a final-round deficit for a 10-7 win over Korobov, the Russian middleweight champ.
Two more Americans also got booted from the tournament, leaving just two representatives of the nation that dominated Olympic boxing a very long time ago. Cuba has been the sport's pre-eminent power for the last two decades, and its young team is still rolling with nine boxers in Beijing after three more reached the quarterfinals.
While Cuba remained steadily sensational, Zou showed a flair for dramatic escapes.
With the crowd behind him at Workers' Gymnasium, Zou's bout with France's Nordine Oubaali ended in a 3-all tie only after Zou staggered Oubaali on a scoring right hand with 15 seconds left. The tiebreaking punch stats favored Zou, who hid his eyes in his tank top before the referee raised his hand as the winner.
"When the score is close, the pressure is big," Zou said. "I knew the situation would be tough. My coach told me that I should pay more attention to him, even if I had beaten him before."
Oubaali didn't allow Zou to do much showboating during the bout, keeping the jab-happy Chinese star at bay with quick footwork and his own persistent jab. Neither fighter scored in the second round, and Oubaali got the only point in the third to take a 2-1 lead.
"He did exactly what he had to," French coach Dominique Nato said of Oubaali, who was disconsolate. "We had the right tactics. It nearly paid off, but when you're facing a world champion and 10,000 fans, it's not easy. I'm proud of him. He's extremely disappointed, but we're not disappointed. It was a fair result."
The morning session was highlighted by Artayev, who won a gold medal at welterweight in the Athens Games but had spent the last two years looking up at Korobov. The Russian with family in Florida was widely expected to cement his position as the world's most talented amateur boxer in Beijing before embarking on a pro career.
Artayev trailed 7-6 entering the final round of a fairly even bout, but fought the final two minutes with an urgency Korobov couldn't match. Artayev was repeatedly quicker in exchanges, and even Korobov didn't show any public displeasure with the result, as so many of his teammates have done during Russia's embarrassing showing in Beijing.
After Korobov predicted five medals for his team, just four Russian boxers are left in the tournament, including flyweight Georgy Balakshin after his victory Saturday.
Several middleweights showed rust after a week off between their first preliminary bouts and Saturday's fights for quarterfinal places, but Britain's James Degale wasn't among them. The hard-punching Brit known as Chunky beat American Shawn Estrada 11-5.
Estrada, the most unlikely member of the U.S. team after an upset-filled run through the Olympic trials, wasn't sharp enough to land accurate scoring punches against Degale's bull-rushes.
American light flyweight Luis Yanez, who was temporarily kicked off the team last month, was dismissed from the evening session with an 8-7 loss to Serdamba Purevdorj.
Yanez trailed 5-2 early in the third before several flurries gave him four points in about 15 seconds - a rare achievement in amateur boxing, particularly in these low-scoring Olympics. But he fought with a curious game plan, refusing to engage his Mongolian opponent regularly until falling behind in the fourth round.
"Wherever he got that game plan, he didn't get it from us," said U.S. coach Dan Campbell, who has been frustrated by his fighters' reliance on their hometown coaches, even getting pre-fight instructions in overseas cell phone calls.
Jitender Kumar added another victory to India's surprising showing with a 13-6 win over Olympic veteran Tulashboy Doniyorov of Uzbekistan, and unrelated teammate Vijender Kumar won the evening's final bout 13-3 over Thailand's Angkhan Chomphuphuang.
"All credit goes to Akhil (Kumar)," Jitender Kumar said, referring to another unrelated teammate who beat Russian world champion Sergey Vodopyanov on Friday. "When I win the medal, it will be for Akhil."

In education, at least in this country, it's treacherous to go too far toward centralization or decentralization.
Let's consider curriculum. In the United States, a centralized national curriculum would cause far too much political turmoil. Or, rather, if such a thing could be pulled off, it would turn out bland and incoherent, after all the additions and compromises had been made. Well aware of this, policymakers have pushed for the "voluntary" nationalization of standards (not the same as curriculum) instead. Since standards usually focus on skills, they carry less threat than curriculum, at least on the surface. Hence the Common Core State Standards.
Now, it makes no sense to have common standards without common implementation. If people around the country interpret them in their own way, you might as well not have common standards at all. Thus, the standards and accompanying directives veer into curriculum and pedagogy. It's inevitable, but that's where the trouble begins. For instance, the standards specify the ratio of literary to informational text for each grade level. A guide for publishers (written by the main authors of the CCSS for English Language Arts) encourages close reading and discourage "pre-reading" activities; in the most recent version, the authors changed the wording to make it less prescriptive (in response to fierce criticism). The assessments based on the Common Core will likely carry even more implicit pedagogical directives and cause still more uproar.
Standards come with unofficial directives as well. District leaders pass on messages to administrators, who pass them on to teachers. Some of these get crass by the time they reach the classroom (e.g., "Only one novel per year"). Some are vague and voluminous; teachers hear that they will be expected to do all sorts of things they haven't been doing, but it isn't clear what. All sorts of "stuff" comes along with the standards, a great deal of it insubstantial.
In other words, nationalized standards are difficult to pull off in moderation and with discernment. They start to resemble the Scylla of education: that twelve-footed, six-necked monster that peers over the cliff and fishes for dolphins and bigger creatures.
In response, many argue that curriculum and standards should be left to local communities. This sounds like a great idea, if you live in a community that shares your view of education. Woe (or Charybdis) to you if you don't.
Why be wary of local control? Oh, because the community's likes, needs, and preferences might clash with yours. What's more, they can be limiting. Some communities will try to guard their children from anything that conflicts with their religion. Others will seek curricula with immediate real-life application. Still others will want curricula that focus on their cultural heritage. Still others will focus on job skills and whatever seems to be in vogue. Others still will want anything that gives the children a competitive edge. Others will insist on the beautiful and classical.
If education is supposed to take you into a larger perspective and larger world, then curricular decentralization, taken too far, works against this goal. Disparities will grow, and they won't be only economic. Schools will be ingrown entities, confined to what the local communities value and know.
Now, most advocates of common standards and advocates of local curricula avoid the extremes I have described above. They keep some sort of counterbalance in mind. In education discussion, though, people tend to defend the principle they think needs defending, even if it isn't the sum total of the truth for them. So their views may sound more extreme than they actually are.
Ultimately what makes sense is a combination of centralized and decentralized curriculum. Getting the combination right is tricky, but it's worth figuring out. For instance, we could have a few common texts per grade (nationwide), and leave it to districts and schools to shape the rest of their curricula. We could have institutes where teachers and principals immersed themselves in literature and other subjects, thus building a culture together. There are many more possibilities.
We need a common curricular basis of some kind, but it must not stifle initiative, limit variety, or drag down what is good. Finding the right mixture of the common and particular may be one of education's most difficult challenges. Are we willing to undertake it? Is there a good place to begin?
Sometimes it seems that we are clinging to the fig tree, our legs dangling down, as Odysseus did in order to escape both Scylla and Charybdis. Not being Odysseus, we can't count on such agility or fortune. Fortunately our Scylla and Charybdis aren't quite as ferocious as the old ones. Things are bad, and plenty bad, but they aren't quite that bad.

Join in for a multitude of special events and activities that are free with admission the MacArthur Beach State Park. Every day, the staff at MacArthur has a program designed to educate and entertain. Ongoing programs include daily nature walks, embarking at 10 a.m., where visitors can explore the entirety of the park, from the maritime hammock to beach. The popular Butterfly Walks trek through the hardwood maritime hammock, which is home to a number of butterfly species as well as endangered and threatened flora and fauna.
On the second and third Sunday of each month, MacArthur comes alive with the sounds of guitar, fiddle, mandolin and banjo pickin' as the park hosts Bluegrass in the Amphitheatre. A treat for anyone who enjoys a good ole hootenanny, the Conch Stomp Band, Willie Allen and Jerry Axelrod, as well as Nathan Rich and the "Untold Riches" jam acoustic sets in a porch-like setting at the welcome center's amphitheater. These are some of the best-unplugged concerts in PBC.
The Bird Walks are a great chance for the amateur and novice birder to get acquainted with the avian species flocking to MacArthur. Join a park specialist as he or she walks folks, stealthily, through the park, binocs in hand, looking out for some feathered friends.
- Reservations are required; call 561-624-6970 for dates, time and RSVP, free with park admission.
For the kiddies and tourist, the animal feedings and snake talks at the nature center are big hits. Every weekend at 11 a.m., MacArthur rangers feed the animals that call the nature center home for a new take on dinner theater. On Sundays at 3 p.m., following the snake feeding, MacArthur rangers lead a discussion about the native snake species found within the park, shedding some of the mystery behind these often-misunderstood reptiles.
- For more information, call 561-624-6952 or visit macarthurbeach.org.

These fun events will make even the biggest haters want to hit the pavement.
So you love the many benefits of running�stronger bones, slimmer body, stronger heart�but aren�t so fond of, well, running. Maybe you get bored out on the road, or maybe you just don�t like getting so sweaty. Either way, we�ve got three words for you: distract, distract, distract! Try one of these seven brilliantly offbeat races, none of which requires you to run more than five miles. No matter which catches your fancy, we�re betting it�ll make you rethink your opinion that there�s no such thing as a �fun run.� The Chocolate Race St. Catharine�s (Niagara), Ontario, Canada Distance: 10 miles, 10k, or 5k; walkers welcome Next race: May 14, 2014 Learn more: www.thechocolaterace.com Chocolate makes everything better, right? Right! Indulge in chocolate-covered strawberries along the course (plus a truffle shot at the 10-mile station, if you choose the longest distance). Then, satisfy that sweet tooth with chocolate truffles, croissants and fudge once you finish�and wash it all down with a glass of pink champagne. (Can�t make it? Consider one of the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k races across the country, with hot chocolate, chocolate fondue and dipping chocolate awaiting you post-race. More info: www.hotchocolate15k.com.) Chase the Gorilla Ipswich, Mass. Distance: 5k Next race: April 19, 2014 Learn more: www.northshoreymca.org Like the Pied Piper, a gorilla�O.K., someone dressed as a gorilla�on a Segway leads this race through town while racers try to catch him. (Yes, you read that right.) Trust us, boredom will not be a problem�plus, you�ll leave with a terrific story for your next cocktail party. Emerald Nuts Midnight Run Central Park, New York, N.Y. Distance: 4 miles Next race: December 31, 2013 Learn more: www.nyrr.org�(note: new info isn�t posted yet) Following a dance party and costume parade, runners start as the clock strikes midnight, toast the New Year with non-alcoholic champagne at the half-way point, and finish the speedy course underneath a fantastic fireworks display. Who needs Times Square? The Color Run and The Color Vibe Cities across the U.S. Distance: 5k (walkers welcome) Next race: Varies depending on location Learn more: thecolorrun.com, www.thecolorvibe.com Though these are two different races series, the idea is the same: Runners start in white shirts, have brightly-hued (but non-toxic) powder thrown at them during the race, and end up at a huge, happy, color-drenched party afterward. Bonus: The runs are untimed, so you can just relax and have fun. Mississippi Blues Marathon & Half Marathon Jackson, Miss. Distance: 26.2 miles or 13.1 miles (or 5 � 6.2 miles as a relay) Next race: January 11, 2014 Learn more: www.msbluesmarathon.com No need to sing the blues while you run�musicians at the start, finish line and all along this race course will do it for you. And really, there�s nothing like authentic live-band blues music to take your mind off your aching feet! Not jazzed to do 13 miles or more? You can draft up to four pals to divvy up the marathon length, and get away with as little as five miles. Also worth noting: The blues-themed finisher medals are among the coolest we�ve seen. NYC Pizza Run Tompkins Square Park, New York, N.Y. Distance: 2.25 miles Next race: September 2013 (exact date TBD) Learn more: nycpizzarun.com No need to carbo-load pre-race because you�ll be downing plenty while you run. As you travel the super-short course, you�ll stop at checkpoints to eat 3 slices of pizza. It starts around lunchtime, so think of it as the ultimate to-go meal! Beat Beethoven 5k Run Where: Pleasant Grove, Utah (Though not an official series, similar races take place in cities across the U.S. Google �Beat Beethoven� to find.) Distance: 5k Next race: TBD Learn more: www.beatbeethoven5krun.org Here�s the scenario: As you cross the start line, the opening notes of Beethoven�s Fifth Symphony begin to play. While the music thunders along, you and your fellow racers�including ole� Ludwig himself, dressed in wig and tails�attempt to finish the course before the thrilling final note sounds about 32 minutes later.
