SACRAMENTO, Calif. Amid severe drought conditions, California officials
announced Friday they won't send any water from the state's vast reservoir
system to local agencies beginning this spring, an unprecedented move that
affects drinking water supplies for 25 million people and irrigation for
1 million acres of farmland.The announcement marks the first time in the
54-year history of the State Water Project that such an action has
been taken, but it does not mean that every farm field will
turn to dust and every city tap will run dry.The 29 agencies
that draw from the state's water-delivery system have other sources, although
those also have been hard-hit by the drought.Many farmers in California's
Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country,
also draw water from a separate system of federally run reservoirs and
canals, but that system also will deliver just a fraction of its
normal water allotment this year.The announcement affects water deliveries
planned to begin this spring, and the allotment could increase if weather
patterns change and send more storms into the state.Nevertheless, Friday's
announcement puts an exclamation point on California's water shortage, which
has been building during three years of below-normal rain and snow."This
is the most serious drought we've faced in modern times," said Felicia
Marcus, chairwoman of the State Water Resources Control Board. "We need
to conserve what l
An emaciated man whose boat washed up on the shores of the
Pacifics Marshall Islands is reportedly telling a harrowing tale of being
adrift for 16 months, surviving on fish, birds, and turtle blood.The manwho
only speaks Spanishsays he drifted more than 8,000 miles in his 24-foot
fiberglass boat, after leaving Mexico for El Salvador in September 2012,
the AFP reports. He had been traveling with a companion who he
says died at sea several months ago.Two locals discovered the man Thursday
when his boat with propeller-less engines floated onto the reef at Ebon
Atoll. He has long hair and a beard, and was wearing only
ragged underwear, the report said."His condition isn't good, but he's getting
better," Ola Fjeldstad, a Norwegian anthropology student told AFP by phone.
Fjeldstad is part of a group doing research on Ebon-- the southernmost
outpost of the Marshall Islands-- who was helping the man.Its been difficult
to get more details on the mans story because of a language
barrier, but he told the researchers his name is Jose Ivan. He
did say that he survived by eating birds and fish he caught
with his bare hands, and drinking turtle blood when there was no
rain.No fishing gear was found on the boat and Ivan suggested he
caught turtles and birds with his bare hands. There was a turtle
on the vessel when it landed at Ebon."The boat is really scratched
up and looks like it has been in the water for a
long time," Fjeldstad said.The locals wh

Palace of Justice in Paris.The three, ages 21 to 26, had made
a long list of purchases, from camouflage hoods and vests to gun
holsters and night vision goggles. But their trip in 2012 ended before
they boarded the plane, aborted by their arrest at a French airport.French
intelligence is in close contact with western nations, from European neighbors
to the U.S. and Australia, to try to spot would-be jihadis and
track those who return and present a potential danger. French Interior Minister
Manuel Valls plans to present a series of measures to President Francois
Hollande in coming weeks aimed at stemming the tide of French Muslims
to Syria.France feels especially vulnerable. It has the largest Muslim population
in western Europe, estimated at 5 million, and Syria, once under French
rule, is familiar to some citizens.For Alain Chouet, a former intelligence
director at France's DGSE spy agency, youth looking for a cause are
attracted by Internet battle videos or recruitment forums, media attention
and easy access from Turkey, a vacation destination for many French people.
The western support for the Syrian National Coalition fighting Assad may
have further legitimized Syria as a destination."It is considered a just
cause (because of) the position of the French, Europeans and Americans,"
Chouet said. Not all would-be jihadis follow the ins and outs of
the war, but "what people understand is that this revolution is just.""There
Jan. 24: Bailey Roby practices shooting three-pointers during halftime.AP
Photo/Colorado Community Media, Hannah GarciaSafety concerns have put a
double-amputee high school basketball player's dreams on hold.The Colorado
High School Activities Association told Bailey Roby earlier this month he
could no longer play after game officials balked when they learned Roby
didn't have an official letter of authorization.At the heart of the issue
is a national high school rule that bans players with prosthetic devices
if they place opponents at a disadvantage or increase the risk of
injury to the athlete or others. His coach at Mountain Vista High
School says he understands the concerns.Roby tells The Denver Post the ruling
does not make sense because he has been playing school basketball for
several years, beginning with a junior varsity team.Roby, who stand 6-foot-5
on the prosthetic legs, was reportedly born without a fibula in both
legs and had them amputated before his first birthday. He never had
a problem with getting clearance to play until he reached the varsity
level, which includes faster and stronger opponents. The Associated Press
