As you find yourself mid-way through September, you may be anxious to unpack your scarves, savor the beautiful foliage, and adorn your home in jack-o-lanterns. Often the perfect solution for recycling the inside of the pumpkin is to make an autumn classic, like pie. However, this season, be the hit of the neighborhood by throwing a pumpkin-carving party that your little ones will surely enjoy. Modernize your pumpkin pie with a Chocolate Pumpkin Cake that will make your neighbors beg for an annual event!
Prepare the cake the day before the guests arrive, and make sure to pick up extra pumpkins for pureeing and for carving. I suggest steaming the pumpkin in order to make the puree. You can freeze the extra puree for later! Assign a few adults to supervise the pumpkin carving while the young partygoers come up with creative jack-o-lantern creations that they can take home afterwards.
After the pumpkin-carving festivities, your guests will light up when you serve this deliciously moist and flavorful Bundt cake. By swapping in your pumpkin puree, the cake maintains its moisture without all the extra fat. Allot a few hours for preparation, although the active time in the kitchen after you make the pumpkin puree should not exceed thirty minutes. What sets this cake apart from others is the sweet buttermilk glaze and mini milk or dark chocolate chips for garnish. The harmonious combination of the subtle pumpkin spice and chocolate creates a comforting and warm flavor perfect to kick-start autumn.
Chocolate Pumpkin Cake
Serves 16
For Cake
1 cup all-purpose, flour (or whole wheat)
¾ cup pastry flour (or whole wheat)
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened coca powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup nonfat buttermilk
2 cups pumpkin puree
¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg white
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For Garnish
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions for Pumpkin Puree:
Boil a large pot of water. Clean the pumpkin to remove dirt. After cutting in half, remove seeds and strings with ice cream scoop. Cut into small pieces and remove the skin. Over boiling water, place the pieces in a colander in the pot. Covered, steam for 50 minutes, or when tender. In a food processor or hand blender, puree the pumpkin.
Instructions for Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With cooking spray, coat a 12-cup Bundt pan. Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a medium bowl with a whisk. With an electric mixer on low, blend buttermilk, pumpkin puree and brown sugar in a large bowl. Then beat in egg and egg white, and stir in oil, corn syrup and vanilla. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients and place batter in the 12-cup pan. Bake for 1 – 1 ¼ hours, checking with a toothpick when ready. Let cool for 20 minutes, then remove from pan and allow 2 hours for full cooling. For the glaze, mix confectioners' sugar and buttermilk until smooth. With the cake on its serving plate, drizzle over the top freely and sprinkle the chocolate chips immediately.

No. 21 UNC women pull away from Radford 64-44
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Waltiea Rolle scored 24 points and Xylina McDaniel had 16 to go with eight rebounds and the No. 21 North Carolina women defeated Radford 64-44 Wednesday in a nonconference contest.
Krista Gross, who ranks second in the Atlantic Coast Conference in rebounding, pulled down a career-high 17 for North Carolina, which bounced back from a 102-57 loss to No. 14 Tennessee on Sunday.
North Carolina (8-1) opened the game on an 11-2 run, and after Jordynn Gaymon's jumper cut the deficit to 13-4, the Tar Heels scored the next eight points to lead 21-4 with 4:19 left in the first half.
They led 33-10 at the break and went up 46-23 in the second half behind a jumper from McDaniel.
North Carolina out-rebounded Radford 52-27 and improved to 144-13 in games in which it has won the rebounding battle dating to 2006.
Diani Mason led Radford (3-4) with 10 points.

There were three undefeated teams heading into Week 5 of the NFL season but one clearly didn't belong.
The Arizona Cardinals proved that on Thursday night by looking flat and uninspired during a 17-3 loss to a deeply-flawed St. Louis Rams team.
Any time a franchise is off to its best start in 38 years and sports playmakers like Daryl Washington, Patrick Peterson, Darnell Dockett, Calais Campbell and Adrian Wilson on defense, it's probably a good idea to stand up and take notice.
That said, when the same team lacks a consistent running game and is trotting out Kevin Kolb at quarterback, it's probably a good idea to put a caveat on the enthusiasm.
Thursday's game was inevitable for Arizona, one that Kolb called "sickening" after being sacked nine times.
Simply put, the Cardinals are going to struggle with consistency issues until a number of questions are answered on the offensive side of the ball.
First and foremost is pass protection. A fluid thing, protecting the quarterback is almost a living organism, one that requires the signal caller, backs, tight end and offensive line to be on the same page.
Heck, even the receivers are asked to do their part in certain blocking schemes which require a chip before heading out into a route. And then there are the sight adjustments each has to diagnose as the potential hot-read on a blitz.
Any breakdown by any player could result in disaster.
The Cardinals pass protection was dismal in the Gateway to the West. Kolb held the ball too long at times, there were mental mistakes all over the field and left tackle D'Anthony Batiste just couldn't handle the speed and quickness of Rams defensive end Robert Quinn, who finished with three sacks and countless more hurries.
But that was just one of the problems for the Arizona offense. The Rams' pass rush seemed to put the entire unit on its heels.
Instead of attacking, it seemed the Cards were reacting to the Rams' aggression and everyone had a hand in the collapse. Kolb's accuracy was hit- and-miss as usual but the receivers also had a few drops, and the usually reliable Jay Feely even missed a 40-yard field goal.
Arizona, which lost in its old hometown for the first time since 2004, was also beaten up physically and running back Ryan Williams was forced to leave the game late with a left shoulder injury after getting blown up by St. Louis safety Darian Stewart.
Kolb, never the most durable quarterback to begin with, has now been sacked 17 times in two weeks, and the Cardinals' offensive line has made Quinn and Cameron Wake both look like the best pass rushers since Deacon Jones.
"We have to get back to the protection we had the first couple of games," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt understated.
No matter how talented the Arizona defense is, it's hard to take the Cards seriously as a contender until the problems on offense are cleaned up, something the team will have 10 days to do before its next game in the desert against Buffalo on Oct. 14.
"We have a lot of guys nicked up, we have a lot of guys that need to get healthy," left guard Daryn Colledge told the Cardinals' website. "We have a lot of film study to do, we have a lot of things to fix. Luckily, we have a lot of days off to do it."
"Hopefully we use this as a springboard," Colledge continued. "I don't know if we bought into our own hype or what, but we obviously weren't ready to play tonight."
That springboard could go either way, however.
With Beanie Wells out until at least Nov. 25 with a turf toe injury and Williams now hurting, it's hard to imagine the Cardinals developing a consistent running game.
Meanwhile, the beleaguered offensive line probably isn't going to get much help from rookie backups like Nate Potter and Senio Kelemete.
And finally, Kolb looked like he was distancing himself from the injured John Skelton at the quarterback position but that controversy has to be back in play.
Skelton is practicing now after suffering a severe right ankle sprain in the Cardinals' season opening win over Seattle and at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, he has a better arm than Kolb and the physical stature to absorb more punishment.
"There's probably a whole laundry list of things we need to get better at," Whisenhunt said.

Billy Ray Cyrus Resurrects 'Achy Breaky Heart' With A Twist [VIDEO]
Although he will be now be known forever as "Miley's Dad", Billy Ray Cyrus continues to make music, and this new collaboration is in a word, unusual. We all know "Achy Breaky Heart" was a monster hit and, it was covered by The Chipmunks, why not? Yesterday, a new video surfaced of a rap/hip-hop tracked called "Achy Breaky 2" by rapper Buck 22, featuring who else, Cyrus. I caution viewers to the twerking, and you'll hear a "Wrecking Ball" reference. I honestly have no words, see what you think. NSFW!
Interesting tidbit, Buck 22 is the son of R&B legend Dionne Warwick. And was that Larry King?

The 6ft 6in striker, who produced an all-action display to score twice in Latics' round four triumph over Liverpool, was at it again with a towering header deep in stoppage time having stepped off the bench just after the hour mark.
Jordan Obita gave the League One strugglers the lead but the 2009 FA Cup runners-up and last season's semi-finalists struck back thanks to goals from Victor Anichebe and Phil Jagielka before Smith's late intervention.
The home side started on the front foot and stunned their opponents by taking the lead after 13 minutes. Lee Croft made the initial break down the right after a poor challenge by Leon Osman before his low measured ball into the box was slotted into the back of the net by on-loan Reading midfielder Obita.
However, Everton struck back 11 minutes later as Anichebe cleverly collected Nikica Jelavic's knock down by nudging Jean Yves Mvoto off the ball and smashing his shot beyond Dean Bouzanis.
Moments later, the Latics came close to restoring their lead when the lively Obita saw his effort narrowly tipped on to the far post by Tim Howard.
The Toffees went ahead three minutes after the interval thanks to a rare goal from Jagielka. Kevin Mirallas' corner kick was headed home from close range by the England defender after some poor defending by Lee Barnard and a woeful attempt at a punch by goalkeeper Bouzanis.
Everton were intent on driving home their advantage and some deft interplay between Steven Pienaar and Marouane Fellaini saw the former bring Bouzanis into the action once more.
Another Mirallas corner had Oldham in trouble before the hour, arching past the massed ranks at the near post and narrowly evading Leon Osman.
Caretaker manager Tony Philliskirk then sent on the 23-year-old Manchester University business management graduate Smith onto the field.
In the 89th minute Robbie Simpson had a glorious chance to earn a replay as he shrugged off the attentions of Phil Neville to collect James Tarkowski's wonderfully-weighted lofted pass, but Howard stopped a shot that lacked purchase before seeing the rebound lashed into the side netting.
However, Smith had the last laugh as he sent the home fans into ecstasy after climbing above his own goalkeeper in the visitors' box to head Jonathan Grounds' corner in the fourth and final frantic minute of stoppage time.

The History Show Sunday 15 December 2013
Bringing the past to life! Discover how our world was shaped as Myles Dungan and guests explore events ranging from medieval times to the recent past
On Thursday, at a reception in the GPO, An Post issued a commemorative card listing the names of the 38 children who died in the Easter Rising. This is illustrated by a painting by Joe Duffy. At that reception, relatives of some of the children who died were among the guests.
Joe joined us to update us on his quest to compile a comprehensive list of children aged 16 and under who were killed during the East Rising and to find out their stories.
Click here for Joe Duffy's list of Children Killed in 1916 Rising
An Post have created a Freepost address for anyone who has any details about children who were killed in the 1916 Rising.
PO Box 1916
Dublin 3
Christmas tends to evoke in us a strong sense of nostalgia for times past. And at this time of the year, this is capitalised upon by all sorts of commercial interests - from card manufacturers to ad agencies who sell us a version of the past which they tell us is more authentic than our present day Christmas.
But whose past are we remembering? And did this past ever actually exist?
Cultural historian, Elaine Sisson and design historian, Linda King, from the Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Dunlaoghaire came in to discuss the whole idea of nostalgia and re-exploring the past.
About Elaine Sisson and Linda King:
Elaine and Linda are co-editors of the book Ireland Design and Visual Culture: Negotiating Modernity, 1922-1992, published by Cork University Press in 2011. This publication has been widely acclaimed as the first in depth study of Irish design and explores the cultural significance of posters, brochures, magazines, currency, architecture, shop displays, pageantry and theatre design. They are interested in histories which address ordinary, everyday, popular objects and images.
This month marks the anniversary of a rescue that's gone down in Irish maritime history. The MV Kerlogue, part of the Wexford Steamship Company, was a small coaster with a crew of eleven.
Throughout World War Two, the ship encountered Allied and Axis powers alike while engaged in Irish international trade. Seventy years ago this month, the Kerlogue came to the aid of a multitude of German sailors who had been left for dead in the water.
With iPads and iPhones flying out of the shops this Christmas, one can only wonder if people will be reading books at all in a century from now. Catherine Cleary gets nostalgic about the Encyclopaedia Brittanica which is among an ever increasing number of items that have been assigned to the past.
Encyclopaedia Britanica - File Under N for Nostagia
by Catherine Cleary
It's too early to say if the Internet will kill books. But the verdict is already in for one particular type of book. Those doorstop tomes that were once pride of place in living rooms are going to landfill or collectors libraries. I fished a World Book encyclopedia out of a skip recently. Its musty pages are a 1980s time capsule where computers look like microwaves and Princess Diana is a young mother with a Charlies' Angels hairstyle.
Encyclopedias were an attempt to arrange human knowledge into something manageable and accessible. One of the first encyclopedias was written by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder in the first century. His Latin Naturalis Historia was written to be read by other powerful Roman men.
In a fitting death for the father of encyclopedias Pliny the Elder was killed in the eruption of Vesuvius. (See under V for Volcano.)
For hundreds of years encyclopedias circulated among a small and scholarly elite until their golden age in the 18th and 19th century.
Two Scottish men brought the world the first Encyclopedia Britannica in 1768. The Edinburgh bookseller Colin MacFarquhar and the engraver Andrew Bell issued their book in 100 parts over three years.
In the nineteenth century encyclopedias became a badge of respectability for a growing middle class, a passport into good society. (See under C for "class system").
And they weren't cheap. Twenty one Britannica volumes would cost you £32 in 1863 according to an Irish Times ad. Back then you could buy a large house in Dublin's Mountjoy Square for £180.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica became a huge publishing success when it was bought by an American businessman. In 1920 the head of Sears Roebuck, then a mail order company which would become the department store, moved Britannica's headquarters to Chicago. The writer George Bernard Shaw contributed an article on socialism to the 1929 edition.
Then last year, after 244 years in print, the Encyclopedia Britannica announced the end of its life in paper. The encyclopedia would no longer be published in book form. The company had sold some 7 million sets in its lifetime. At the height of the 1930s it employed 2,000 encyclopedia salesmen (and they were always men) selling the book door to door. (See under "D" for Death of a Salesman)
So instead of browsing a large book schoolchildren search online for information. Exploring a world beginning with "C" won't be as common as it once was. So a school boy researching centrifugal force mightn't accidentally learn that the Roman centurion soldier was so-called because he commanded a century or one hundred soldiers.
For two and half centuries chunks of knowledge were written, edited and presented in one heavy set of expensive books with leather covers running from A to Z. After a long and respectable history print encyclopedias are dead. Buried under N for Nostalgia.

Theobald Wolfe Tone's place in the pantheon of Irish republican heroes has been secure since his death in November 1798.
It is now widely accepted that he probably took his own life. But why was his reputation not damaged by the then criminal and immoral character of his death asks historian, Georgina Laragy who discussed his death and the culture of suicide in 18th century Ireland.
Letter before his death; Theobald Wolfe Tone
[To his father; transcribed from original MS in National Library of Ireland]
Provost Prison, Dublin Barracks, 10 November 1798
Dear Sir,
I hope you will not be offended that I have positively declined seeing you since my arrival in this place; the fact is I had not the courage to support a meeting, which could lead to nothing, and would put us both to insufferable pain; I shall give order on the arrival of my effects, to have them sent to you; what money I have (about £50) I will share between you and my Wife; - I beg my sincerest and most respectful duty to my mother.
Your affectionate son,
T.W. Tone
It wouldn't be Christmas on the telly all the same without settling down to a three hour epic like Dr. Zhivago!
Film lecturer, Steven Benedict gave us a rundown of what historical movie offerings we can expect on the TV this festive season.
Historical Movies for Christmas
by Steven Benedict
A Man for All Seasons
Given the season that's in it, let's begin with A Man For All Seasons, Robert Bolt's adaptation of his won superb stage play which itself began as an hour long BBC radio play. It centres around the struggle between Henry VIII of England and his Chancelor, Sir Thomas More. Henry wants to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boylen. We all know that Henry VIII was a man of phenomenal self-righteousness and self-indulgence, and Sir Thomas recognizes this and tries valiantly to not to much oppose Henry, but stand up and protect his own conscience. Simply, it is one of the greatest examples of moral integrity history has to offer.
War and Peace
Elsewhere, you have adaptations of Tolstoy's War and Peace, which focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia. This version is from 1956 and stars Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Mel Ferrer. No less than six writers helped in adapting Tolstoy's epic story and in so doing, they condensed the plots to focus on Natasha Rostova, Count Pierre Bezukhov and Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.
Barry Lyndon
Then Barry Lyndon, directed by Stanley Kubrick. Part of it was filmed in Ireland before Kubrick was forced to leave due to IRA death threats. It's a sumptuous piece of work. The pace is very measured by which I mean some people may find it slow and boring. I think it's magnetizing. It's not just me. Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott are all in thrall of it. Ryan O'Neal plays an Irishman whose wiley ways see him ascending into British aristocracy.
Wyatt Earp
There are five big pictures set in various times and places during the 19th century.
Wyatt Earp was the Sherrif of Tombstone and most famous for the Gunfight at the OK Corral that took place in 1881. The movie, starring Kevin Costner is a three hour epic that reveals a lot about Earp's life, but not to all that engaging effect.
Oliver Twist and Great Expectations
You have probably the two best Dickens' adaptations, Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, both of them in black and white, both from the 1940s, both directed by David Lean. Let's face it, Dickens is always good at Christmas simply because he was such a good storyteller. And David Lean was a great film director so, the combination works. Set leading up to, during and after the US Civil War Gone With The Wind goes on and on and on for close to four hours. It is an amazing achievement but not a great movie and if I may, the story effectively peters out after the interval. After the Civil War ends, the story becomes an inceasingly contrived melodrama.
Far and Away
Then there is Far and Away which is a brilliantly mounted, if somewhat silly epic tale of an lowly Irish peasant heading off to America. Hilarious accent from Tom Cruise but again, part of it was filmed here in Ireland and thankfully, the IRA issued no death threats against the crew.
Dr. Zhivago
Back to David Lean you have a monumental adaptation of Doctor Zhivago, Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize winning novel. If anyone has read the novel they will know that the narrative is shaped after Tolstoy's works and so it stretches and spreads and sprawls itself all over the place, so Robert Bolt and David Lean did a very good job in focusing it down to four characters, Yuri, Lara, Pasha and Komorovsky, each of them representing different facets of Russian society and its emerging ideologies. Omar Sharrif struggles with what is a rather passive role, but Rod Steiger is terrific as a wise and ultimately wizened aristocrat who plays both ends against the middle.
Elsewhere for World War One, you have Gallipoli about the disastrous campaign in which Australian and New Zealand forces were hurled onto the beach-head of the Dardanelles. And then there is The African Queen which is great fun. Katherine Hepburn is Rose Sayer a prim and proper English missionary who enlists the services of coarse and drunken Charlie Allnut, played by Humphrey Bogart, to blow up a German gunboat.
Chariots of Fire
Then there is Chariots of Fire, David Puttnam's Oscar winning picture about two British athletes, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddel, who are scheduled to compete against one another in the 1924 Paris Olympics. That is until it is discovered that one of the races is going to take place on a Sunday. Liddel was a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the Glory of God, while Abrahams, who was Jewish has to overcome anti-Semitism in order to convince everyone that his devotion to sport is for the Glory of the Sport. Interestingly, David Puttnam said that he was looking for a story in the mold of A Man For All Seasons, about characters who follow their consciences.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of the deliriously playful action-adventure pictures ever made. Spielberg and Harrison Ford teamed up for three more all of which are also being aired. For a lot of people, Raiders is the best.
Fiddler on the Roof
And if I may, there are several musicals on over the break and by far the best of them are all historically based. Fiddler on the Roof adapted from the phenomonally successful 9 time Tony Award winning Broadway musical. Set in a remote shtetl of Anatevka in 1905 Tsarist Russia, it is about Tevye who is best by three wilful daughters who wish to marry men of whom he does not approve. And then saddled with that, there is the ever present threat of the Tsars pogroms that constantly threaten to Jewish community.
Meet Me in St. Louis
Then there is Meet Me In St. Louis with Judey Garland, which takes place against the backdrop of the 1904 World Fair. It features many great songs, not least of which is when Garland sings Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I defy anyone to watch that and not get a lump in their throat. And finally you have what is for most people, the best musical ever made: Singin' in the Rain. Made in 1952, it's set in 1927 Hollywood when the studios were making the conversion to sound. It's rapturous fun... I've seen it... I don't know, I stopped counting after the 50 mark.

VANCOUVER — Center Manny Malhotra is going to return to the Vancouver lineup for tonight's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Bruins at Rogers Arena.
Malhotra is an expert penalty-killer and faceoff man, but that doesn't mean the Canucks can risk giving the Bruins six power-play opportunities like they did in their 1-0 Game 1 win.
"I know some of the penalties we took in the offensive zone 200 feet from our net, we'd like to stay away from that. I thought a couple of unfortunate calls, like Danny [Sedin's] four minutes where his stick ends up in Chara's face there, that's a long way for a stick to go, but it ended up up there," said Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault this morning.
"We're obviously going to try to be better in that area tonight. Hopefully our power play will be more effective, too."
As bad as the Bruins' power play has been, one would figure that six chances an evening would give it a chance to finally break out.
While Maholtra will boost the PK, Dan Hamhuis' absence will hinder it.
Here's a look at the Vancouver lines and D pairs that will look to limit tonight's infractions, as per warm-ups:

Extension > Garden > Insects > Root maggots
Root maggots
There are two species of fly maggots that can be pests in gardens, cabbage maggot and onion maggot. Cabbage maggots attacks crucifers, including broccoli, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, and turnips, while onion maggots infest onions. Root maggots can occur any year but are more common during cool, wet springs.
Root maggots spend the winter as pupae in the soil. They emerge in spring as adult flies. These flies are dark gray, have stripes on their thorax and resemble small house flies. The females lay eggs at the base of plants and in nearby cracks in the soil. The eggs hatch within a week into small, legless, whitish maggots. These maggots move into the soil and feed on the roots of crucifers or onions for about four weeks. Infested plants can appear discolored, wilted, or stunted. Depending on the age of the plants and how many maggots are attacking them, damage can be severe enough to kill these vegetables.
You must be proactive to protect your vegetables. Once you find damaged plants, it's too late to treat them. In the past, you could apply diazinon granules into the soil as you were planting crucifers or onions. However, diazinon has been phased out and is no longer available to the general public. It was hoped that another insecticide would be available with labeling for soil treatment in home gardens but this has not happened. So currently there is no insecticide available as a preplant treatment for cabbage and onion maggots.
Without insecticides, your only real option is to use a floating row cover, or similar barrier, to protect your plants. Floating row covers are readily available through gardening catalogs and stores. This barrier should allow sunlight and rain in and should reach the ground. You should have the barrier set up in your garden by the time adults flies are laying eggs which is early to mid-May. Keep the barrier in place until the end of the month when the flies are finished laying eggs. Floating row covers may not be practical in large gardens.
You should base your need for a barrier on how much root maggot damage you've had in the past. If you have experienced problems on a regular basis, then assume you will see them again this year. If however, you have not encountered root maggots often in the past or not at all, you can assume you don't need to do anything this season.

Guitar legend Alvin Lee of Ten Years After has died of complications after routine surgery, reports BBC News. He was 68.
The British guitarist shot to worldwide attention with a staggering Woodstock performance in 1969.
Lee talked to Guitar World about his 'Big Red' ES-335 just last year. "I've still got the original Woodstock 335, but, sadly, I don't use it these days as it has become too valuable. She's now in a vault since some loony offered me half a million dollars for her.
Alvin Lee's family announced the sad news on his website, saying: "We have lost a wonderful and much loved father and companion, the world has lost a truly great and gifted musician."

|Previous GTUG Vienna Logo
The Google Developer Group GDG Vienna (previously GTUG Vienna) is a group for people interested in using or developing with Google technologies. We meet in the evenings on last or next-to-last Tuesday of each month. Sometimes we have bigger events like hackathons and we're generally interested in finding new formats of events. We're not affiliated with Google, nor are we a Google fan club. Hacks and critisim are very welcome! We're constantly looking for local developers to speak on our meetups. If you work on the project that you think could be interesting to share with others, feel free to come over and talk about it!

Nevada's attorney general was asked Tuesday to review the validity of signatures needed to ensure that a plan to raise the minimum wage qualifies for the November ballot.
Deputy Secretary of State Renee Parker requested an attorney general's ruling on about 13,000 signatures on petitions seeking a $1-an-hour raise in the minimum wage, to $6.15.
If the signatures are found to be invalid, Parker said the Coalition to Give Nevada a Raise, which is pushing the plan, will be about 2,500 signatures short of the 51,337 needed.
While the minimum-wage plan was held up, a proposal to raise public school funding to the national average qualified for a spot on the ballot with 76,838 verified signatures in 16 of the state's 17 counties.
Officials were still checking on a final county, Elko - but the legal requirement for a minimum of 51,337 signatures collected from at least 10 percent of the registered voters in 13 of the state's counties had been met.
The proposal, pushed by the Nevada State Education Association, is in addition to an Education First initiative that already had qualified. That proposal calls for Nevada lawmakers to fund education before other state programs.
Both education initiatives are part of a backlash resulting from the 2003 legislative session, when legislators failed to meet the statutory deadline for approving an education budget.
The minimum-wage proposal, backed by a coalition of labor unions, workers' activists and Democrats, ran into problems because many petitions circulated in Clark County may not have been properly signed as required by the Nevada Constitution.
Election officials said circulators of the petitions must sign affidavits stating that all signers are registered voters - and one of the signers also has to sign a similar affidavit.
Proponents of the petition insisted they followed the secretary of state's instructions, adding that both affidavits can be signed by the circulators if they're registered voters in the county where they collected the names.
Voters would have to approve the measures in November and again in 2006 before they could take effect.
There's a Friday deadline for other proposals dealing with marijuana, insurance rate rollbacks and frivolous lawsuits.
Supporters of two other proposals, to reduce taxes approved by the 2003 Legislature and to keep public employees from serving in the Legislature, won a court order giving them until July 20 to turn in their signatures.

Jon crushes on Jon
As I've noted many times, I LOVE Jon Stewart. He is set to record daily on pvr. And I've been missing him for two weeks. But Sarah from Cinesnark bbm'd me last night while I was waiting on a carpet for, ugh, Ryan Phillippe. I was on douche duty and she was watching Stewart with Jon Hamm and totally charmed. Both of them I mean. Sarah and Stewart.
That's Jon Hamm.
I mean, Jon Stewart was practically asking him to go to bed. And why wouldn't he. Seriously, Jon Hamm has that thing, which I feel is becoming more and more rare – he appeals to men and women. Details called him the Last Alpha Male, equally a statement about him, but also about what's being forced upon us now: androgynous boys in skinny jeans who sing or play guitar. We are supposed to believe that Zac Efron will become a man one day.
A man like Jon Hamm?
You've seen the Details cover shoot right? Not just the photos but the video. If you haven't watched the video, make sure you don't have a lot of work to do. I'm just warning you. And it's also a really great article. Click here to read.

Are any of these guys going to land on the Jets? Who would you like to see in Green?
The Jets have a new offensive coordinator in Marty Mornhinweg and, reportedly, a new quarterbacks coach in David Lee.
Although it's entirely possible that the Mark Sanchez era extends another year, this brings in a new group of possibilities for quarterbacks that could end up on the roster simply because of familiarity with the two. Both Lee and Mornhinweg have ties to a ton through their years in the league, a lot of whom are available this offseason.
Kevin Kolb
Current team: Arizona Cardinals
Contract status: Signed a six-year, $63.5 million contract with the Cardinals in 2011. In 2012 he played in five games, going 3-2 as a starter, before missing the remainder of the season with a rib injury. Although new head coach Bruce Arians said he has no preconceived notions about Kolb, he's owed a lot of money next season -- $11 million -- making him a potential cut.
2012 Stats: 109-of-183 for 1,169 yards, 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
A. J. Feeley
Current team: Free agent, last played with the Rams in 2010-11
Contract status: Free agent
2012 Stats: : No stats, Feeley will turn 36 before the season starts next year.
Mike Kafka
Current team: New England Patriots (signed a futures deal in 2013)
Contract status: Signed a two-year $1.2 million contract. Will be a free agent in 2015.
2012 Stats: No stats, Kafka was edged off the Eagles roster following a 2012 preseason quarterback battle.
Vince Young
Current team: Free agent
Contract status: Young is a 29-year-old former first-round pick who is still hoping to make a comeback. He last played for the Eagles in 2011 and was cut by the Buffalo
2012 Stats: Young didn't take a snap in 2012 in the regular season.
Michael Vick
Current team: Philadelphia Eagles
Contract status: Signed a six-year, $100 million contract in 2011. We'll turn to ESPN's Andrew Brandt to explain 2013 specifically: "Of this, $3 million is guaranteed for injury only. However, once the calendar hits the second day of waivers in 2013 in mid-February the guarantee converts to a full skill guarantee for that year. Vick allowed this for funding purposes, as any amounts guaranteed for skill prior to January 31 have to be funded by the team."
2012 Stats: 201-of-351 for 2,362 yards, 12 TDs and 10 INT.
Trent Edwards
Current team: Philadelphia Eagles
Contract status:: Signed a two-year $1.415 million contract in 2012.
2012 Stats: Played in one game going 2-of-2 for 14 yards. Was eclipsed by Nick Foles in the preseason for the right to be Vick's backup.
Tarvaris Jackson* (Was a freshman under David Lee at Arkansas in 2001)
Current team: Buffalo Bills
Contract status: Free agent
2012 Stats: Jackson was third on the Bills' depth chart this season after getting traded from the Seahawks for a seventh-round pick.
*Jackson has connections with new Jets GM John Idzik as well.
John Beck
Current team: Free agent
Contract status: Free agent, last played for the Texans in 2012 but was cut by Houston in October.
2012 Stats: Beck last recorded stats for the Redskins in 2011, going 80-of-132 for 858 yards, 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
Chad Henne*
Current team: Jacksonville Jaguars
Contract status: Signed a two-year, $6.75 million contract with the Jaguars in 2012.
2012 Stats: In nine games, Henne was 141-of-267 for 1,786 yards, 9 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
* Henne is now playing for a new coach and general manager. Despite filling in admirably for Blaine Gabbert in 2012, his future is definitely up in the air.
Josh McCown
Current team: Chicago Bears
Contract status: Free agent
2012 Stats: McCown, who will turn 34 before next season, last recorded stats for the Bears in 2011, going 35-of-55 for 414 yards, 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
Tyler Thigpen
Current team: Buffalo Bills
Contract status: Free agent
2012 Stats: Thigpen was 3-of-5 for 30 yards this year for the Bills. His last significant stats came in 2010 with the Dolphins.

Visa Extended Warranty Protection Replaces Infamous "Dusty Playstation"
Reid, the guy with the Playstation that Sony said was too dusty to repair, is getting his system replaced through his Visa card's extended warranty protection.
UPDATE: VISA Won't Replace Dusty PS3 After All
For those of you who are not familiar, many credit cards carry a benefit that doubles your manufacturer's warranty and helps you out of these sorts of sticky situations. When last we saw Reid, he was battling Sony Computer Entertainment for warranty repair because his system was having trouble reading discs. He lost, and Sony shipped the unit back to him. For the record, Reid says that the PS3 arrived much dustier than when he originally sent it. Not knowing what else to do, he bought a dust buster and cleaned the unit up, determined to fix it himself. Then he tried upgrading the PS3's firmware and the system completely bricked.
Thankfully, his Visa has extended warranty coverage and he'll be getting a new PS3.
Reid writes:
I just got off the phone with Visa for the third time and they are sending me a claim form to start the repair/replacement process of my system.
They at first said that they would need to attempt to have it repaired in my local video game repair shop, but I let them know that i had already contacted them and the firmware in combination with the blu-ray lens made it impossible to repair economically and it would have to be replaced. They said as long as I had a repair receipt stating that it wasn't economical to repair, I could walk into a Best Buy, charge a new PS3 to my credit card and they would credit that charge.
Thanks A LOT, for all your help, you guys have more helpful than i would ever imagine. Lets just hope I never need to email you guys again shall we?
Thanks again,
PS, This was possible because (some?) Visa Signature cards carry a "warranty manager" feature that effectively doubles the warranty on any product purchased on the card up to one year. Because the problem that bricked the system occurred after I was legally out of warranty, Visa is taking care of it. Again, I can't thank you guys enough, you really put the power in the customers hands in an industry where its customers are generally ignored due to their demographic. I owe you guys.
If you buy a lot of expensive electronics, make sure your card has extended warranty protection. In fact, we reminded a reader yesterday that his broken out-of-warranty TV was probably covered by his MasterCard. It was!
We love happy endings.

I don't believe the flattening would cause significant changes to the Amsteel's strength. Amsteel is commonly used for heavy (12,000lb+) recovery winches, and when using the synthetic line a Hawse fairlead is used. The Hawse is essentially just a smooth piece of metal the Amsteel slides over, and when it does so the Amsteel is flattened. This flattening has not, to my knowledge, been shown to reduce the strength of the Amsteel in these situations, even when loaded nearly to breaking strength.
I would consider abrasion from rough surfaces to be far more worrisome than flattening, especially considering the weight-rating safety factors typically designed into our hammock suspensions.

Syracuse tops Kentucky in attendance
Associated Press
Posted: 1 hour ago
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Syracuse has ended Kentucky's nine-year run as the leader in men's basketball attendance.
The Orange averaged 22,978 a game in the Carrier Dome last season, beating Kentucky's average attendance of 22,520. NCAA champion North Carolina was third at 20,522 and Louisville was fourth at 18,746, according to figures released in this week's NCAA News.
Syracuse was the leader from 1985 to 1995, while Kentucky led the nation in average attendance since 1996.
Attendance for all NCAA men's games was just more than 30.5 million for the 2004-05 season. Of that, nearly 25.4 million attended Division I games, and both figures were within 200,000 of the season records set the previous year. It also was the third straight year that overall attendance topped 30 million.
Forty-three schools - all in Division I - averaged at least 10,000 fans last season. Eight of them were in the Big Ten, making it the top conference for the 29th straight season.
The top Division II schools were Virginia State (3,471) and Northern State (3,408), while the leaders for Division III were Hope (2,462) and Illinois Wesleyan (2,376). Division I Virginia Tech had the biggest increase from the previous year, rising from 6,342 per game in 2003-04 to 9,405 last season.
The leader in total attendance - home, road and neutral courts - was Illinois, with 711,798. North Carolina was second at 702,563, followed by Kentucky at 698,287 and Syracuse at 613,724.
The Atlantic Coast Conference set a record with almost 2 million fans, but its average of 11,097 was second to the Big Ten's 12,530. The SEC was third at 10,663, and the Big East was fourth at 10,396.

'Not Fade Away" is the second of two recent films in which a successful son of Hollywood gets up close and personal. The first was Judd Apatow's "This Is 40," which concerns itself with the stresses of the present. "Not Fade Away" is about the romance of the past, and it comes to us from writer-director David Chase, who made his bones with "The Sopranos" but has apparently been carrying this movie around inside his head for decades.
All I can say is beware of filmmakers who've been carrying pet projects around for decades: They've long since lost the necessary distance and they want to cram everything in. (See "The Tree of Life" for a more epic example.) "Not Fade Away" is Chase's fictionalized memoir of growing up a rebellious, rock-loving teenager in suburban New Jersey, and it's both achingly affectionate and a terrible mess. Chase's métier, it turns out, is the one-hour, present-tense drama. Aiming for a generational statement that encompasses the entire '60s experience, he turns unexpectedly inept.
That said, there are lovely moments amid the rubble. "Not Fade Away" even begins with one: a teenage nebbish named Doug (John Magaro) in a high school auditorium, looking longingly at The Girl (Bella Heathcote as the upper-class Grace) as she looks longingly at the band onstage. Right there is the source of so many rock 'n' roll dreams: If I get on that stage, she might see me.
Doug's a drummer, after a fashion, bashing out variations on "The Twist." Then the Beatles hit, and the Stones, and suddenly Doug looks at Mick and Keef and realizes a skinny physique and a scuzzy complexion aren't so bad after all. He joins a band led by the local music stud (Jack Huston) and one night during a house-party gig, Doug takes lead vocals on "Time Is on My Side." The miracle happens: The Girl sees him.
"Not Fade Away" might be content to stay in that moment and its immediate aftermath — like a more concentrated version of John Sayles's 1983 classic "Baby It's You" — but Chase keeps going. And going. The V-neck shirts turn to leather jackets and caftans, Doug's hair sprouts out and up until he's a ringer for Al Kooper circa 1966, the soundtrack expands to include the Kinks, Dylan, the blues, Van Morrison, and "Itchykoo Park" before leaving us on the doorstep of the Sex Pistols' cover of Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner."
There are breakups and makeups, fistfights and motorcycle crashes, demos and a meeting with music industry powerhouse Jerry Ragavoy (Brad Garrett, suitably crass). Doug's dad is played by James Gandolfini as a defeated working-class lump — Tony Soprano robbed of all power — who can't understand how his son will get into the Army looking like a fruit.
It goes on: cancer scares and mental institutions and weird older sisters playing Robert Johnson records up in the attic. "Not Fade Away" namechecks the cultural watersheds with knowing confidence. (Doug to Grace in a screening of Antonioni's "Blow-Up": "What kinda movie is this? Nothing happens.") Chase knows that a line like "I left my roach clip at Oberlin" can sum up an entire era, and when the film pauses to simply take in the glory of Bo Diddley singing his namesake tune on TV, it locates the heartbeat that sustained a lot of people's adolescences.
The problem is that Chase can't figure out how to put the pieces together. "Not Fade Away" is shockingly flat-footed when it comes to filmmaking basics like temporal transitions — we're always shooting awkwardly forward into the next pop moment — and his dialogue drifts and stalls with frustrating lack of purpose. The artier camera choices seem odd: Why are we zooming into Doug's ear? The film is narrated by a minor character, the hero's little sister (Meg Guzulescu), for no discernible reason. It's as though Chase were pouring his entire youth onto the kitchen table without any idea of how to shape it. So he doesn't.
By the time Doug sees a mysterious omen in the sky for the second time, you realize you're watching a film of very private meanings. Sometimes those meanings coalesce into something quite beautiful. Toward the end, Doug walks the midnight streets of Los Angeles, lost and found at the same time, the future stretching out before him like an open boulevard. You can almost see the 20-year-old David Chase superimposed onto the character, and anyone who has been young and at the start of something may shiver in recognition. For all its ungainliness, we should be glad he made this movie. We should be just as glad he got it out of his system.Ty Burr can be reached at email@example.com.

The Wiregrass finally took a peek at the new and improved Carroll High School. A constant crowd roamed the halls during its open house.
"I just think it's a great step forward. I've heard a lot about it and I know a lot of people on the school board and they've done a great job," said Bill Rein, an Ozark resident.
Students stayed eager to see their new nest.
Sophomore, Angela Flowers, exclaimed, "I think it's amazing. To be able to have the opportunity to go to school here is just incredible."
Some said it blows the old high school away.
"The old school, you kind of looked around and thought why am I here? But you see the new school coming up in progress and it was awesome," explained Madison Foss, a freshman at CHS.
Classrooms have that "new car" smell, and students said the new "do" motivates them.
"This is a good school and I'm just hoping that nobody graffiti's the walls or anything because this school is just too good for that," stated sophomore Catanya Moore.
The school does not have any lockers. Cutting-edge technology allows them to ditch the books, and go digital.
"I love it. We don't have to carry books or book bags. We have our own personal computers and I love that," exclaimed Moore.
With a now two story school, students worried about getting lost. Yet, they say they're ready for the adventure. The bigger and better CHS is a great advantage for the students.

An agreement between the Eastern Region Helicopter Council and East Hampton Town's airport managers and air traffic controllers regarding helicopter routes into and out of the airport calls for choppers to reach altitudes of 3,000 and 3,500 feet over certain waypoints along designated routes, flying 1,000 feet higher than what had previously been outlined.
Those altitudes would apply at Nassau Point off the Southold Town shore and over Georgica Pond in East Hampton, but neither the altitudes nor the routes are mandatory. Local officials have no authority to dictate them, but pilots are requested to follow them, and, in an effort to encourage compliance, town airport managers will make reports about those who deviate from them to the helicopter council, an industry organization.
The designated routes are set annually, and have been a source of controversy and complaints by those who live beneath them.
This year, the suggested routes were reviewed by both subcommittees of the town's airport planning committee — one comprising noise-abatement advocates and the other, members of the aviation community — Peter Boody, a recently appointed senior airport attendant, told the town board at a meeting on Tuesday. Both groups endorsed the higher altitude guidelines, Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, the board's airport liaison, said.
If the flow of other aircraft traffic allows, helicopters, which cannot mix with fixed-wing aircraft, would climb to higher altitudes as soon as possible when taking off from the airport, Jeff Smith, the helicopter council chairman, said at Tuesday's meeting.
The designated incoming and outgoing routes were designed to minimize aircraft turns, which cause helicopters to make more noise than when flying a straight trajectory, Mr. Boody said. Those agreed to this year essentially mirror those used last year, he said, when the number of noise complaints phoned in to an airport complaint line dropped from 11,000 to 6,700.
East Hampton will pay air traffic controllers to direct traffic beginning on May 19, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., until the fall. The controlled airspace extends in a 4.8-mile radius from the airport, up to 2,500 feet above ground level.
On both arrivals and departures, a southerly, or "sierra" route, will send aircraft over Georgica Pond and along the south shore. A northerly, or "November," route for arrivals will have helicopters approaching the airport from the northwest.
An easterly ("echo") route will be used for departures, with helicopters climbing to above 2,000 feet within the airport boundary, when possible, heading northwest over the power lines, remaining east of Town Line Road, and turning right toward Barcelona Neck.
That route is "troubling," commented Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, as it takes helicopters over preserved lands in Northwest and on Shelter Island, areas "where the impacts of development was meant to be limited."
"We've now created a helicopter superhighway to the Hamptons" over those sites, he said. "I find that a very troubling contradiction."
Mr. Boody said he would be in close contact with Mr. Smith throughout the coming busy season in order to achieve the best results.
He has been reviewing records showing the flight patterns that have previously been followed by various helicopters. "My general impression is, it's remarkable how much eagerness there is to comply," he told the board. "But in the busy season, people do cut corners or get a little sloppy."

Junior Rachel Walny is leading the Chippewa Valley Big Reds cross country team in more ways than one.
She paced Chippewa Valley's efforts at the MAC White Division's second jamboree held Tuesday at Warren-Mott.
Walny finished first overall to lead the Big Reds to a second-place team finish. Chippewa Valley was edged 28-29 by Port Huron.
She's also helping lead the Big Reds back to prominence.
"We want to get Chippewa Valley cross country back on the map in Macomb County," said girls' coach Frank Tymrak. "We are intent on turning the program around."
Chippewa Valley finished fourth at the first MAC White jamboree held in Port Huron.
Walny turned some heads by breaking free from a tight pack that also consisted of outstanding runners Hannah Jones of Port Huron Northern and Anchor Bay's Macy Gustavus. She sprinted away from them to the finish line.
"When everyone else started kicking, I knew I had to respond," said Walny. "This is really exciting. This is only my second win."
She also finished first at the earlier division jamboree.
Victory in cross country doesn't arrive by accident. Walny had an excellent summer of training, said her coach.
Walny crossed the line in 19:16. Finishing second was Hannah Jones of Port Huron Northern who came in three seconds behind Walny. Macy Gustavus of Anchor Bay was third in 19:22. Rounding out the top five were Allie Knoll of Warren-Mott 20:31 and Rachel Bonner of Port Huron in 20:58.
Port Huron Northern finished first as a team with a 6-0 record. Warren-Mott was second at 5-1. Warren-Mott came in third Tuesday at 4-2. Anchor Bay was 3-3, Port Huron 2-4, Ford 1-5 and Saint Clair 0-6.
Overall, Port Huron Northern is 12-0. Warren-Mott is 9-3; Chippewa Valley 8-4; Anchor Bay 7-5; Port Huron 3-9; Saint Clair 2-10; and Ford 1-11.
St. Clair senior Brennan Shafer won the boys race. He led the Saints to a team victory, too, keeping them undefeated on the season.
Shafer pulled away from Port Huron Northern's Tyler Delange to win easily.
"Tyler is a great guy. We train together with the Port Huron Northern team all summer long. Tyler led for the first two miles, but the wind in some sections of the course was pretty wicked today. I knew it would get to him eventually. I stayed behind him and then I went by him over by the baseball diamond," said Shafer.
That strategy was a home run. Shafer won easily, and it was his first victory over Delange in three tries this season. Delange got the better of Shafer at last Saturday's Anchor Bay Invitational and also at the first MAC White jamboree.
"Brennan ran a great race, and all of the guys ran out of their heads today," said Jon Davidson, the St. Clair coach. "Every point counts; that is what I am always telling them."
The coach obviously made his point following the Anchor Bay Invitational. Although his Saints won that meet, he made sure to point out that Port Huron Northern runners finished first and second before Shafer crossed the line.
"If that meet had been scored as a dual meet between Port Huron Northern and us, we would've barely won 27-28," said Davidson. "We can't live on our laurels. We want to finish the season undefeated."
Yesterday was another laurel for the Saints.
Shafer finished in 16:38. Delange came in 12 seconds behind for second place. St. Clair's Cody Smith was third in 16:49; St. Clair's Trevor Holowaty was fourth in 16:51; and Matt Thomas was fifth in 16:58.
St. Clair finished the day 6-0. Port Huron Northern was 5-1; Warren-Mott 4-2; Chippewa Valley 3-3; Anchor Bay 2-4; Ford 1-5 and Port Huron 0-6.
Overall, St. Clair is 12-0. Port Huron Northern is 10-2; Warren-Mott is 8-4; Chippewa Valley 6-6; Anchor Bay 4-6; Port Huron 1-11; and Ford 1-11.
DIVISION 1: At Huron Meadows Metropark in Brighton, juniors Cassie Bloch and Jenny Ponkowski finished second and third, respectively, as Regina scored 23 points to win its second jamboree in as many attempts. "Most of our team ran season-best times today," Saddlelites coach Gregg Golden said. "Our varsity ran particularly well. The gap between our first through fifth runners was about 25 seconds. They all seem to be getting faster." The third and final jamboree will be in Wixom on Oct. 9.
DIVISION 2: Sophomore Gina Patterson paced all runners in 18:37 and led Lutheran North to its second consecutive jamboree victory. "She was real strong. She led from the get-go," Mustangs coach Tim Grotelueschen said of Patterson. "It was her best time of the season." The Mustangs had four of the top nine runners. Lori Schwark, Lutheran North's fifth, finished 22nd in 22:11. "It was a great effort by our runners," Groteleuschen said. "One runner can make a difference." Briana Weglarz finished ninth, one second ahead of the 10th-place runner from Divine Child, the difference in the Mustangs' 42-43 edge over Divine Child. "Most of our team had their best times," the coach said. Lutheran North cannot compete in the league meet, so the Mustangs will try to win the overall league title through their performances in the jamborees. The third and final jamboree is at Lutheran North on Oct. 9.

OTTAWA - It's budget day on Parliament Hill.
That's when journalists and economic analysts get locked in a room all day and try to decipher hundreds of pages of documents.
The government is promising the document will contain measures to help alleviate youth unemployment and to rebuild some of the country's roads and other infrastructure.
It's expected the budget, unveiled around 4 p.m. ET, will also include a pledge to balance the country's books before the next election in 2015.
But the opposition parties say they'll be looking at the fine print, and will see whether the Harper Conservatives keep promises they made in the fall throne speech.
Also today in Ottawa:
— The trial continues for Khurram Syed Sher, a 31-year-old London, Ont., doctor who is facing a charge of conspiracy to facilitate terrorism. On Monday, Sher pleaded not guilty.

Kansas Residents' Opinions on Threatened and Endangered Wildlife and Actions to Protect Wildlife by Responsive Management
This study was conducted for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (hereinafter
referred to as the Department) to determine residents' knowledge of and opinions on threatened
and endangered wildlife, as well as their support for or opposition to various actions to protect
threatened and endangered wildlife. The study entailed a telephone survey of Kansas residents
18 years old and older.
For the survey, telephones were selected as the preferred sampling medium because of the
almost universal ownership of telephones (both landlines and cell phones were called).
Additionally, telephone surveys, relative to mail or Internet surveys, allow for more scientific
sampling and data collection, provide higher quality data, obtain higher response rates, are more
timely, and are more cost-effective. Telephone surveys also have fewer negative effects on the
environment than do mail surveys because of reduced use of paper and reduced energy
consumption for delivering and returning the questionnaires.
The telephone survey questionnaire was developed cooperatively by Responsive Management
and the Department based on a previous survey. The previous survey was developed by Kansas
State University in Cooperation with Responsive Management in 1991. For the current survey,
Responsive Management conducted pre-tests of the updated questionnaire to ensure proper
wording, flow, and logic in the survey. The sample of Kansas residents was obtained from SSI,
a firm that specializes in providing scientific samples for public opinion surveys. The sample
was representative of all residents of the state 18 years old and older. Telephone surveying times
are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday from noon to 5:00 p.m., and
Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., local time. The survey was conducted in October 2011.
The software used for data collection was Questionnaire Programming Language. The analysis
of data was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences as well as proprietary
software developed by Responsive Management. Throughout this report, findings of the
telephone survey are reported at a 95% confidence interval (or higher). For the entire sample of
Kansas residents 18 years old and older, the sampling error is at most plus or minus 4.34
percentage points.
- Approximately a third of Kansas residents (32%) say that they know at least a moderate amount about threatened and endangered wildlife in Kansas. However, a majority (67%) say that they know a little or nothing at all.
- A slight majority of Kansas residents (55%) indicated that they were aware that there are, in addition to federal laws, state laws to protect types of wildlife that are threatened and endangered. A larger majority (68%) were aware that there are state laws protecting the habitats of threatened and endangered wildlife.
- Just over a third of Kansas residents (37%) have heard of the Department's Nongame Wildlife Improvement Program, also known as the Chickadee Check-Off Program, and half (50%) are aware of the line on the state income tax form that allows taxpayers to contribute to the Department's Nongame Wildlife Improvement Program.
- The survey asked about eight potential threats to wildlife populations in Kansas. For each, respondents were asked if they agreed or disagreed that it threatened or endangered some Kansas wildlife populations.
- Some items on the list were included as benchmarks (i.e., it was assumed that quite high percentages would agree that they are threats) against which to compare the other items: chemical and industrial pollution (83% strongly or moderately agree that this threatens some wildlife populations) and agricultural chemicals (76% strongly or moderately agree) were expected to have large majorities saying that they threaten wildlife populations.
- Regarding economic activities, oil field development (60% strongly or moderately agree that this threatens some wildlife populations) and converting land into agricultural crop production (53% strongly or moderately agree) are well above wind energy development (26% strongly or moderately agree).
- The recreational activities of fishing and hunting are at the bottom (18% and 22%, respectively) while trapping is at 32%. Nonetheless, this means that about 1 in 5 Kansas residents erroneously think that legal fishing and legal hunting threaten and endanger some wildlife populations.
- Two statements measured the values people place on wildlife and plant life in Kansas. In the first, a large majority (73%) agree with the statement, "Wildlife that is threatened and endangered in Kansas yet abundant in other states should still be protected in Kansas." In the second statement, a similar percentage (72%) agree with the statement, "Although only
- threatened and endangered wildlife are currently protected in Kansas, threatened and endangered plant life should also be protected."
- Respondents were asked about their support for or opposition to five actions that would potentially help protect threatened and endangered wildlife in Kansas. The most support is for having an official state list of threatened and endangered wildlife in Kansas (74% strongly support this, 90% strongly or moderately support) and for the state imposing stiff fines on those who harm endangered wildlife or their habitats (72% strongly support, 88% strongly or moderately support).
- The three remaining actions all have a majority in support but with markedly less support relative to the top tier:
- The state restricting development of areas that are habitat for some threatened and endangered wildlife (47% strongly support, 76% strongly or moderately support).
- The state buying more lands that are habitat for some threatened and endangered wildlife (48% strongly support, 68% strongly or moderately support).
- The state restricting lake construction in areas that are habitat for some threatened and endangered wildlife (33% strongly support, 61% strongly or moderately support)
- The three remaining actions all have a majority in support but with markedly less support relative to the top tier:
- An overwhelming majority of Kansas residents (91%) agree that the Department should continue to identify and protect habitat critical to the existence of threatened and endangered wildlife.
- Respondents were asked to decide between hypothetical construction projects and protection of wildlife in five instances: constructing a dam to increase drinking supplies, straightening a stream for a highway, diverting stream water for irrigation, damming water for a recreation lake, and building wind turbines. For each, respondents were asked if they would support or oppose, if they knew that the project would threaten or endanger a type of wildlife in Kansas.
- The most support is for building wind energy turbines (62% would strongly or moderately support even if they knew it would endanger a type of wildlife) and for constructing a dam to increase drinking water supplies (56%). Just less than half would strongly or moderately support diverting water to irrigate agricultural crops (46%).
- At the bottom in support are straightening and ditching a stream for highway construction (only 27% would support) and damming water to make a lake for recreation (23%).
- Respondents were asked about willingness to pay more on their water bill to protect threatened and endangered wildlife in Kansas: while a majority (59%) are willing to pay at least $1 more, a third (33%) are not willing to pay even $1 more. At the top end, 27% are willing to pay at least $2 more, including 11% who would pay $5 more.
- Another measure of support for the Department's efforts is the rating given to the Department's programs to manage and protect threatened and endangered wildlife in Kansas. A slight majority of Kansas residents (52%) rate the Department's programs as excellent or good, which is more than double the percentage who rate it only fair or poor (20%).
- Landowners in the survey (41% of Kansas residents said that they own land in Kansas) were asked several questions, starting with information about the size and use of the tract:
- The median size tract is 6 acres.
- Those who own a tract of more than 1 acre were asked to indicate the primary use of the tract. Farming, for a residence, and ranching are the most common uses of the tracts.
- The survey measured landowners' feelings about the intrinsic value of wildlife on their properties. Most commonly, landowners say that they have no particular feeling about threatened and endangered wildlife on their land (40% have no particular feeling). Otherwise, the next most common response is that they like having threatened and endangered wildlife on their property (30% selected this choice). However, 20% express concern about the potential problems that wildlife may cause. The remainder do not know.
- The survey asked about the likelihood that landowners would allow the Department to monitor or research threatened and endangered wildlife on their land: 39% would be very likely, and 69% would be very or somewhat likely. Just over a quarter (26%) say that they would be not at all likely.
- Another question found that 67% said that they would be willing to follow a conservation plan to maintain habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife on their land, if they received monetary compensation.
- A majority of landowners would strongly or moderately support the reintroduction of a threatened and endangered wildlife species to its historical range if that range was near or adjacent to the landowner's property: 66% would support. However, 15% would oppose.

As you can see from our newly-installed widget (see: right), we're already excitedly counting down to the opening of Dinosaur Mummy CSI: Cretaceous Science Investigation, a world premiere exhibition HMNS is developing to showcase Leonardo, one of the most spectacular dinosaur mummies ever found – and the only herbivore discovered with preserved stomach contents.
Oh, yeah – it's also covered over 90 percent of its body with skin impressions. Until someone develops a time machine, looking at Leonardo is the closest you can get to seeing a living dinosaur.
Until it opens Sept. 19, we'll be bringing you a series of behind-the-scenes videos of our paleontology department preparing for the exhibit – traveling to Montana, where Leonardo was discovered, working to prepare the fossils of another hadrosaur named Peanut for display and much more. What do you want to see? Let us know and we'll do our best to get it on film.
In our first video, Dr. Bakker, David Temple and several of our paleontology volunteers create a map of Peanut that will help them study the specimen as it was discovered – even after the fossils have all been removed and mounted.
You can also download the audio-only version to listen on your mP3 player by right-clicking here. UPDATE: If you can't see the video above, you can now check it out on YouTube.
UPDATE: Check out the second video in the series – Dr. Bakker explains why Leonardo is such an extraordinary find.

Hi Martin,
Just to let you know that, even though "ananás" is a word known in Spain, it's basically a crosswords one. In everyday conversation you'll hear people speak of "piña" instead.
PS: The only one food word you listed which I mispronounced was "salmon" (I had never even checked its correct pronunciation; I just assumed it was just a matter of placing the stress in the first syllable instead of in hte second, as in "salmón" in Spanish).

THE ONLY THING more baffling than Phil Mickelson's inability to finish the deal in a U.S. Open is the delight so many people seem to take in that.
From my vantage point, he appears to be the most unpopular popular person in sports. I don't get it. Never have.
This week at the Merion Golf Club, where he finished second for an unimaginable sixth time in a U.S. Open, he was prominent for lots of obvious reasons. First, he was at or near the lead the entire tournament. Second, he did the unusual, flying to San Diego the day before the tournament for his daughter's eighth-grade graduation and flying back just in time for his Thursday 7 a.m. tee time.
That was a story. Mickelson didn't shove it at the media. We decided. We made it a big deal. Because it was fairly unusual — and because he shot 67 and led the tournament the first day — we were right. Mickelson, accessible and candid, is not going to lie when asked about his whereabouts leading into the Open. His life is a fishbowl. You either embrace it or endure it. He embraces it.
Once the story was written and broadcast in various forms, the reaction — as it always seems to be with anything about Mickelson — was volatile. Emailers and message boards, sadly today's prevailing gauge of such things, filled up both with praise for his family values and disgust at the praise he was getting. Common themes were: Big deal. He's a rich guy with access to a private plane; he's a goody-two-shoes fraud; he smiles too much.
Those who love him and root for him seem to do so based mostly on what they see. Those who hate him and root against him seem to do so based mostly on what they see.
It's mind-boggling. How can one of the most accommodating pro athletes in the world also be one of the most polarizing? What am I missing here? Who did he bully in seventh grade?
I have avoided writing this for years. I assumed I would eventually get some insight. I haven't, but the venters and haters never have stopped.
I pondered this as I wrote about the final round in the media center at Merion on Sunday night. On the big screens all around, television continued its recap. It was more than an hour after the finish, and suddenly, there he was.
In a dark field, probably heading to his car, Mickelson was signing away, moving toward his destination but not rushing, making sure he autographed anything desired for all the people who had bothered to stay.
He just finished second for the sixth time in the U.S. Open!
He has a public relations person who once tried to get him to limit his post-event signings to 45 minutes. That lasted about one session.
I once did a one-on-one interview with him after a Skins Game in the desert, sat down, wrote a column, filed it, got a sandwich, ate it, called the office, packed my computer bag, walked out and Mickelson was still signing autographs.
Do I see other golfers do that? No. Does Mickelson do that so I'll see it and write about it? No.
I am better-suited to write about this because I'm not a regular golf writer. I am fortunate enough to be sent to many great events, but I'm a general columnist. Mickelson knows the regular guys, sometimes even addresses them by their first name. I'm just a vaguely familiar face.
My only agenda here is amazement.
I understand that he put his foot in his mouth earlier this year when he whined about paying too much in taxes. He should have known better. He should have been more sensitive to others who have so much less. Which is what he said. End of story.
On the final day of the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales, Hunter Mahan chunked a chip shot. It ended hopes for the U.S. In the news conference afterward, with the entire U.S. team sitting at a big table, questions began for Mahan.
Mahan was a wreck, near tears. To the rescue came Mickelson, along with Stewart Cink. I'll take the questions. I screwed up, too, Mickelson said.
Mahan played with Mickelson in Sunday's final group. Afterward, he said of Mickelson, "He's a great leader, and being in golf, you don't hear that word often. … He's a great guy to admire."
The anti-Phil group is a minority. But it is vocal and determined. He is not St. Peter. Nor is he Attila the Hun.
Lighten up, folks.
