This report is organized into two parts. Part I presents the synthesis of literature and practice related to multiple-use trails. It is organized around the three major challenges faced by trail managers and the two categories of responses at their disposal to address these challenges. In every case the challenges and available responses cut across many trail activities and types of trails. Part I concludes with a presentation of general principles for avoiding and minimizing conflicts on multiple-use trails distilled from the information reviewed. Part II builds on the synthesis by identifying gaps in our current knowledge and suggesting research that could be undertaken to close these gaps.

This report provides updated estimates of National Park Service (NPS) visitor spending for 2011 and estimates the economic impacts of visitor spending. Visitor spending and impacts are estimated using the Money Generation Model version 2 (MGM2)based on park visits (also called recreation visits) during the calendar year 2011, spending averages from park visitor surveys, and local-area and national-level economic multipliers.

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) Comprehensive Rail Study provides a 20-year framework for the growth and development of Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR). This study documents the current state of the system as a baseline for analysis, and, using CVNP- and CVSR-defined vision and goals for the system, develops a prioritized program of improvements to achieve stakeholders' desired future state.

Channel Islands National Park includes the five northern islands off the coast of southern California and the surrounding waters out one nautical mile. The diversity and undisturbed nature of the tidepools of this rocky coastline was recognized as a special feature of the islands in the enabling legislation. In order to gain information to conserve these communities unimpaired for future generations, the NPS has been monitoring the rocky intertidal at the islands since 1982. This report summarizes the 2002 sampling year efforts (from February 2002 to February 2003) and findings of the Channel Islands National Park (CINP) Rocky Intertidal Monitoring Program.

This report describes the results of a visitor study at Congaree National Park (NP) in Hopkins, SC, conducted October 27 - November 27, 2011 by the National Park Service (NPS) Visitor Services Project (VSP), part of the Park Studies Unit (PSU) at the University of Idaho.

The report that follows is a Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) for Wind Cave National Park (NP), located in the Black Hills region of southwestern South Dakota. This document is intended to provide the park with treatment and use recommendations for specific areas of concern, as well as long-term management of this important natural and cultural resource.

This Cultural Landscape Report is composed of three parts. This volume includes Part II of the CLR for Wilson's Creek NB. Part II includes a treatment plan based on the information developed within Part I and on identified management goals for the site.

This comprehensive Management and use Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) presents a proposal and four alternatives for the management, use, and development of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.

This SOP describes the step-by-step procedures for preparing for field work and for constructing, preparing, and organizing field equipment prior to the initiation of personnel training and entry into the field.

Monitoring and adaptive management will facilitate the ability of the National Park Service to protect our natural heritage landscapes and resources. The authors detail the Vital Signs Monitoring Plan for the Pacific Island Network.

Home of the legendary Tar Heels basketball team, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill enjoys a sporting brand known the world over. The alma mater of Michael Jordan and Mia Hamm, winner of forty national championships in six different sports, and a partner in what Sporting News calls "the best rivalry in sports," UNC-Chapel Hill is a colossus of college athletics. Now, it has become ground zero in the debate on how the $16 billion college sports industry operates--an industry that coexists uneasily within a university system professly dedicated to education and research. Written by notorious UNC athletics department whistleblower, Mary Willingham, and her close faculty ally, Jay Smith, Cheated: The UNC Scandal, the Education of Athletes, and the Future of Big-Time College Sports exposes the fraudulent inner workings that for decades have allowed barely literate basketball and football players to take fake courses, earning fake degrees from one of the nation's top universities while faculty and administrators looked the other way. In unobscured detail, Cheated recounts the academic fraud in UNC's athletic department, even as university leaders attempted to sweep the matter under the rug in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning, and it makes an impassioned argument that the"student-athletes" in these programs are being cheated of what, after all, has been promised them from the start--a college education.

This study evaluates: 1) Connections to existing regional and local public transit systems. 2) Options for managing visitor traffic and parking to and at the site, including an option for providing an off-site staging area for visitor overflow and tour bus/recreational vehicle (RV) parking. A shuttle would operate between the staging area, train station and the park (and possibly other sites to serve the greater community). 3) An integrated visitor information infrastructure, including media and signage. 4) Visitor special event transportation operations.

This report investigates the feasibility of an alternative transportation system (ATS) to MVBNHS. Specifically, the report addresses the feasibility of a shuttle service that could connect visitors to several travel destinations in the region and provide car-free visitors with a connection from the Amtrak station in Hudson to MVBNHS in Kinderhook.

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Globalizing Cricket examines the global role of the sport - how it developed and spread around the world. The book explores the origins of cricket in the eighteenth century, its establishment as England's national game in the nineteenth, the successful (Caribbean) and unsuccessful (American) diffusion of cricket as part of the development of the British Empire and its role in structuring contemporary identities amongst and between the English, the British and postcolonial communities. Whilst empirically focused on the sport itself, the book addresses broader issues such as social development, imperialism, race, diaspora and national identities. Tracing the beginnings of cricket as a 'folk game' through to the present, it draws together these different strands to examine the meaning and social significance of the modern game. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the role of sport in both colonial and post-colonial periods; the history and peculiarities of English national identity; or simply intrigued by the game and its history.

The scope of work included the compilation and presentation of "a cultural overview of the City Point area that includes the placement of prehistoric and historic resources in the context of James River and Chesapeake archaeology." The following report presents this cultural overview of City Point, beginning with evidence for Paleo- Indian activity in the James River region and concluding with a consideration of the twentieth-century history and landscape of the City Point Unit of the Petersburg National Battlefield. Particular attention is paid to the role of the site as a protohistoric Appomattuck village; to the possibility that City Point is the location of the 1613-1622 English village of Charles City; and to the centrality of the African American experience at City Point from at least as early as 1635 through to the present. Specific recommendations incorporated in the cultural overview include the necessity for a comprehensive archaeological survey of the City Point property to ascertain the location and preservation of significant buried resources, which can be drawn upon for future research and interpretation into the whole of human history at the site. Another critical recommendation of the report is the need to address the maritime resources associated with City Point, and the ongoing threats to their integrity, which include extensive looting of shipwrecks and material culture in the James and Appomattox Rivers in territory administered by the National Park Service, as well as the ongoing impact of erosion of the bluffs at City Point.
