Despite the drenching storm that barrelled through much of Texas this weekend, the region still remains in a drought, officials say.Stacie Hanes, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said Fort Worth is ahead in rainfall for 2006, but it has not been enough to cancel out last year's deficit.

"Normally, we see about 6 inches of rain through March 20, but this year we have already seen over 10 inches," Hanes said. "So we are ahead of schedule for the year, but we still aren't caught up."

Spring break is a time of year when many students enjoy being in the sun, a decision that poses many risks. According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer accounting for more than 50 percent of all cancers.

More specifically, the ACS reported that melanoma, which tends to occur at a younger age than most cancers, accounts for more than 4 percent of skin cancer cases and causes the majority of skin cancer deaths.

Heather Masterson, 33, a former TCU student, was diagnosed with melanoma when she was 24.

For many, Spring Break is a time to let loose and have some care-free fun. But some officials say what a student does in that one week of not-so-clean fun could have a lifetime of consequences.
