PROBLEM: Tarboro, North Carolina (CNN) The weather is picture-perfect nearly a week after Hurricane Matthew unleashed winds and torrential rain on North Carolina's eastern flatlands -- but Princeville still is under water. "This is a disaster area. It's not going to recover in 24 hours, and it's still going on as we speak, not only in Princeville but 150 miles from here," Gov. Pat McCrory said. "People are playing golf 20 miles from here, and yet we have a whole town under water." The aftermath of Matthew's deluge has caused normally tranquil rivers to swell to record levels. Princeville, a town settled by freed slaves in the late 1800s, is among the most severely hit.Floodwaters persist days after Hurricane Matthew hit North CarolinaCommunities such as Princeville struggle to cope with storm's aftermath 
 Question:It isn't the first time _ has experienced disastrous flooding.

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- A timid judge is a lawless judge. U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman, it would seem, is not a timid judge. In deciding to lift the Department of the Interior's six-month moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Feldman certainly looks like a decisive jurist. His criticisms of the department's ban were forceful. But Feldman was remarkably selective in his criticism. He was willing to scrutinize the government harshly, but not the oil industry. His opinion made important points about the department's mistakes. He noted that the moratorium affects drilling in water deeper than 500 feet, even though a scientific panel that the department commissioned expressed concern with wells in water deeper than 1,000 feet.Jeffrey Rachlinski says judge is willing to scrutinize terms of ban, but not oil industry so muchJudge says BP spill doesn't presage others; but companies still lack sound disaster plansOil companies' suit shows they'd like to keep drilling as though nothing has happened, he saysRachlinski: Ban would force oil companies to come up with plan to prevent future disasters 
 Question:Deepwater drilling is and will remain a valuable part of _'s energy supply.

SOLUTION: U.S.
