It's January second and I'm trying to recover from about a week of too much food, too much lethargy, too many football games (My team lost.) and too little common sense.
I spent most of New Year's Day on the shady side of the Cotton Bowl Stadium, watching my wife's alma mater, Auburn, eke out a victory over Nebraska, while a brisk breeze kept us from getting too warm. I spent the Saturday before New Year's Day up to my waist in the cold water of the Brazos, flinging flies at reluctant rainbow trout. We caught our limit but it took all day and I'm still about four degrees below my normal temperature. See what I mean about common sense?
But today I'm motivated. It's the first working day of a new year, though I must admit I did a bit of editing last night on a story I had written before Christmas just so I could e-mail it to the office first thing this morning. I thought that showed remarkable dedication (or incredibly poor planning).
I have interviews lined up for tomorrow so I'm feeling pretty smug on the cusp of this new year.
So 2007 beckons, a blank page (or empty computer screen) waiting for me to fill it with meaningful work or successful fishing trips, whichever seems more appropriate at various times during the year. I probably should make some resolutions that I could discard by Ground Hog Day but why bother?
I could begin with committing to help preserve literacy. Several editors and I have been passing e-mails back and forth today bemoaning the demise of the English language, attention to spelling and the lessons of history (apparently one of us was a history major somewhere back in our less delusional past and has been showing off his knowledge of things historical). Apparently, too, they are having motivational problems on the first working day of the year.
We are assuming that within 20 years or so no one will remember how to spell actual words since instant message language will take over the world. I don't speak IM. I had to ask someone what LOL means (laugh out loud).
I'm afraid that several generations down the RNA road people will have tiny little fingers perfectly adapted to punching out messages on smaller and smaller personal communications devices (PCDs since no one will be willing or able to remember how to write out the entire description).
I recently upgraded my cell phone and, much to my chagrin, the only one I could get with the package (and price) I wanted came with instant message capability and a bad camera. I've received several instant messages and have no idea how to respond. And my fingers are too big to poke the tiny numbers on the keypad, anyway. I usually just call back and actually talk. A benighted concept, but someone must maintain standards.
Perhaps I'll spend 2007 resisting the urge to embrace technology. Of course that will be little different from 2006 and about a decade of years prior to that.
Anyway, I'm off to a good start. One page (computer screen) is filled.

Penalties plague Monarchs in home loss to IceCapsStaff Report
March 24. 2013 9:34PM
After halting a five-game losing streak Saturday night with a 6-4 win over Hershey, the Manchester Monarchs suffered a 4-2 setback against Atlantic Division foe St. John's Sunday afternoon at Verizon Wireless Arena.
Manchester (30-28-3-4) sits in third place in the Atlantic Division with 67 points, while St. John's (27-33-1-4) is fifth with 59 points. Manchester and Norfolk are currently tied for ninth place in the AHL's Eastern Conference standings, trailing Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Hershey by four points for a playoff spot.
On Sunday, the Monarchs and IceCaps entered the third period tied 2-2, but St. John's took a 3-2 lead on an Eric O'Dell power-play goal just 2:20 in to the period.
Playing a man down was an issue for the Monarchs throughout the afternoon. St. John's was 2-for-6 on the power play, while the Monarchs were 0-for-2.
"Penalties influenced a big part in this game," Monarchs head coach Mark Morris said. "We still had a chance coming out for the third period. Being in the penalty box so much expended our energy. We couldn't seem to find the back of the net with a lot of our chances in the second period. The opportunities were there. That was the good thing. The bad thing is we didn't convert."
After O'Dell's goal gave St. John's a 3-2 lead early in the third period, the IceCaps made it 4-2 at the 11:31 mark when Ben Maxwell fired a shot off Monarchs goaltender Martin Jones and into the net.
The Monarchs made it 4-3 with 3:36 remaining in the game when Marc-Andre Cliche grabbed the puck off a deflected shot before firing a shot past St. John's goaltender Mark Delkanich (32 saves).
The game was even at 1-1 after one period on goals by St. John's Kael Moulillierat and Manchester's Linden Vey. The teams traded goals again in the second period as Maxwell put the IceCaps in front 2-1 before Brandon Kozun answered for the Monarchs.
Jones (20-22-4) made 29 saves in the loss.
Manchester plays next on Wednesday night at Worcester.

A town in PA that is best known for Lincoln's Gettysburg Adress. It is a tourist town for the Civil War, amoung other historial events. It is a fairly large town, compared to those that surround it. Teens that live there often wish to get out, though, those who actually do leave, tend to come back. Though it can seem quite boring, it is growing larger, with more atractions. Also, it is a major place for drug dealing.
Person 1: Gettysburg has a lot of drug dealing.
Person 2: Thats because when the tourists come, they need there crack.

Middle of nowhere small town America that wants to be big city. A College town that wants to be University. A High School that has so many dreams but most who want to leave never do and never change. However, if you dig deep enough, and find yourself in this historically rich community one might find a glimps of beauty lost in the societal norms where artists can create, bakers can bake, and families can put families first!

The college life consists of frat parties most notebly at the honorable TKE where they guys there cook three minute hott pockets in two minutes only after watching their own hair cut itself in a mirror which they see with their 20/10 vision.
Gettysburg is the essence of moisture, and moisture is the essence of beauty.

A town. Nothing less, nothing more. A small town just like ones all across America, where the kids want to get out and the tourists never leave. All the high schoolers ever want to do is leave; move to a big city, have the time of their lives somewhere else. They have a right to. Being one of those kids, I understand. It's not the most exciting place, but they can't deny it's beautiful. And we all know that one day we'll consider it cool to have grown up in such a place.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban suicide bombers attacked the gates of the Afghan intelligence agency Wednesday, killing one person and wounding dozens in a blast that shredded nearby cars and shattered storefront windows three blocks away.
The brazen midday attack highlighted ongoing violence in Afghanistan and the determination of the insurgency to continue fighting even as President Hamid Karzai and the U.S. negotiate for a quicker pullout of American forces.
A minivan drove into a gate of the intelligence agency compound in the capital at noon and exploded in a blast that was heard throughout downtown. A second minivan pulled up, and five attackers wearing explosive vests jumped out and tried to storm the gate, police said.
Security forces killed the five attackers and defused explosives found in the second van, police said in a statement.
It was the second attack targeting the intelligence agency in as many months. On Dec. 6, a Taliban suicide bomber posing as a peace messenger blew himself up while meeting with Afghan intelligence chief Asadullah Khalid inside a Kabul residence. Khalid has been hospitalized in the United States with serious wounds since then.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the latest assault in a text message sent to The Associated Press. The Taliban insurgency regularly targets Afghan army and police, but attacks against the intelligence agency show the group's ability to strike even those who are supposedly closely monitoring their activities.
One intelligence service guard was killed in the blast, said agency spokesman Shafiqullah Tahiri. He did not provide any information on guards who were wounded.
Mohammad Zahir, the chief of the Kabul police investigation unit, said at least 30 people suffered injuries. Tahiri said some of those injuries were minor, but four of the wounded were in critical condition.
The attack comes less than a week after Karzai returned from a trip to the United States in which he pushed the U.S. to get its troops out of Afghan villages. During the visit, both sides seemed ready to consider a much smaller American force in Afghanistan after 2014 than had previously been envisioned.
Karzai said on his return that Afghanistan would be safer once the U.S. troops leave. But Wednesday's attack was a stark reminder that Afghan forces are as much a target as foreign troops.
After Wednesday's blast, ambulances were able to carry some of the wounded to hospitals, while others were loaded into the back of a pickup truck. Blood streamed down the face of one man, staining his white-collared shirt and sweater vest as he waited for an ambulance.
The blast left the twisted wreckage of at least seven cars on the street, while the windows of nearby shops were blown out and glass shards littered the pavement blocks away.
A heavy snow started to fall as uniformed intelligence agents cordoned off the area around the gate. The blast walls at the entrance were blackened from the explosion and metal pieces — apparently the remains of the entrance gate — were twisted and strewn about.
The entire intelligence service compound is surrounded by tall, thick cement walls designed to protect buildings from bomb blasts.
Attacks in the heavily secured Afghan capital are less common than in the country's restive south, but they do occur and are often more sophisticated operations. They frequently include multiple attackers trying to penetrate the perimeter of armed guards and blast walls that surround government buildings and embassies.
The most recent attack in Kabul was on Dec. 17, when a car bomber struck outside a compound used by a U.S. military contractor. That blast killed at least two Afghan workers and wounded more than a dozen people.
A spokesman for the international military coalition, Maj. Martyn Crighton, said Afghan forces responded to the attack and that NATO forces were not involved.
Associated Press writers Amir Shah, Patrick Quinn and Rahim Faiez contributed to this report in Kabul.

Of late, the likelihood for a drastic lowering of gold prices (COMEX:GCZ13) has become a common talking-point, with many analysts – ourselves included – believing that a drop to $1,000/oz should not be ruled out in the next year.
Indeed, although the Syria-led rally in oil prices has resulted in a recent upturn in gold prices, the rise is unlikely to be cemented in any longer-term positions. Certainly, a more accurate outlook for gold prices needs to take into account the impacts of developments in three key areas: Investor demand, central bank behavior and trends in the mining industry.
In the past decade (and even more so in the post-crisis environment) these areas have experienced massive shifts, which have largely contributed to the supply and demand disequilibrium that is now of concern. Furthermore, investors still seem wary of gold's dramatic collapse in the first half of this year. The question has since become, how low should gold be priced in order to bring supply and demand into equilibrium? Let's try and determine this answer by examining the broader trends currently taking shape.
Investor demand
Whether for bars, coins or exchange-traded products (ETPs), investor demand for gold has historically held steady at around 8%-9% of total demand.
Since the onset of the financial crisis, however – and encouraged by quantitative easing (QE) – investor demand expanded to a high of almost 1,300 tonnes in 2012 (nearly 30% of total demand), helping to propel gold prices to record highs. Undoubtedly, this was an unsustainable rise. And now that U.S. interest rates are rising and the dollar is strengthening – thanks to the Fed's likely "tapering" of its QE program – investors are relinquishing their holdings of gold.

CIU Names Director of Business & Organizational Leadership Program
An executive, attorney and former Army ranger has been named the director of the Business & Organizational Leadership program at Columbia International University (CIU) in Columbia, S.C.
Dr. Benjamin P. Dean comes to CIU with extensive organizational leadership experience with not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, experience as an attorney in the private and public sector, and experience in ministry outreach including humanitarian and charitable projects. In the U.S. Army, Dean achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel where he was assigned to the Pentagon and a multinational NATO unit in Europe.
Most recently, Dean served as an executive with PIONEERS International, focusing on international missions outreach and humanitarian projects. He has also developed leadership projects with Global Leadership Consultant in Geneva, Switzerland, focusing on public policy issues relevant to national leaders in emerging nations. His interest in law and public policy has also taken Dean to the White House where he served President George H.W. Bush as assistant counsel to the president.
CIU Provost Dr. James Lanpher says Dean's extensive and diverse resume makes him the ideal candidate to direct the Business & Organizational Leadership program at CIU.
"The Business & Organizational Leadership program equips students for positions in the marketplace of entrepreneurial and corporate America and nongovernmental organizations around the world. Dr. Benjamin Dean has experience in all those areas," Lanpher said. "He will offer a wealth of knowledge to our students and offer solid direction as we continue to grow and strengthen the program."
Dean holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va., a law degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a law degree in federal and military law from The Judge Advocate General's School in Charlottesville, Va.
Dean begins his duties at CIU on Jan. 1, 2012. His appointment comes as CIU begins the process of seeking approval from its accreditation agencies to move the Business & Organizational Leadership program from a minor to a major.

Andy Murray Will Miss Funeral For Davis Cup Semi Final
Andy Murray will miss his grandfather's funeral to play in Great Britain's Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina this weekend.
Gordon Murray, the father of Andy and Jamie's father Willie, died last week.
Andy missed Thursday's press conference at Glasgow's Emirates Arena, reportedly so he could attend a family gathering, but Jamie was present.
The older Murray brother will only play in the doubles rubber on Saturday and will therefore be able to go to the funeral.
At the same time, Andy will be playing in the standout - and potentially decisive - rubber against Juan Martin Del Potro, which opens the tie.
The pair battled against each other for more than four hours in the Olympic gold medal match in Rio last month, with Murray eventually coming out on top.
Del Potro's status as only the third-ranked Argentina player, as he continues to work his way back from a long absence during which he underwent three wrist operations, lent an unusual level of intrigue to the draw.
Normally the big singles matches take place on Sunday but Guido Pella was given the nod to be Argentina's No.1 ahead of the higher-ranked Federico Delbonis and will play Kyle Edmund on Friday.
Argentina captain Daniel Orsanic, though, had no qualms in declaring Del Potro his side's most important player.
"Without a doubt," he said. "I think he's going through a very good moment. His comeback I think is good for the world of tennis so you can imagine what it means for us Argentinians."
GB captain Leon Smith opted to name both Edmund and fellow singles player Dan Evans in his four-man team ahead of Dom Inglot.
That removed the back-up doubles option, meaning Andy will once again be asked to play with Jamie on Saturday and compete on all three days.
The 29-year-old has admitted to fatigue following a hectic summer that saw him win both Wimbledon and the Olympics but Smith is confident he can produce more heroics for his country.
"We saw last year in the semi-final against Australia, you could see Andy was fatigued and he still found a way to do it," said Smith.
Edmund, who led Britain to victory in the quarter-final against Serbia in July in Andy's absence, was given the nod ahead of Evans for Friday's opening clashes.
Britain are hoping to follow up their remarkable Davis Cup triumph last November, a first for the country in 79 years, by setting up a final against either France or Croatia.

Swing Your Partner
O'Connor vs. Kennedy as the justice in the middle.
As the court's longtime swing voter, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was a bit of a tease. You prayed and nibbled your nails while you waited too see whether she would come down on your side, and when she did, you felt great relief—and then anxiety. She'd given you her fifth vote, but she wasn't ready to commit. The opinion she'd written or signed teetered and hedged before reluctantly slumping down on your side of the scale. Looking ahead, you weren't sure what she or the court would do the next time a similar case came along. All you could do was console yourself with eternal hope: At least when you lost her, she didn't flit far out of reach, and you might win her back.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, on the other hand, is a swinger who knows how to be in a long-term relationship. When you've succeeded in wooing him, you know it. You read some of your own strongly felt sentiments taken to stirring heights in his opinions. Kennedy gives you passion. He's often been portrayed as the impressionable agonizer. But if he goes back and forth on the big ones, you often can't tell once he's done writing. He gives the winning suitor the comforting feeling that he's with you, for real, for the long haul.
That's one way to compare the two justices. Viewed through this lens, Kennedy can look pretty good to liberals on occasion, even if he looks pretty good to conservatives more often. But there's another method of comparison that explains why the left still longs for O'Connor. If you track the two justices across different areas of law, counting up the number of fifth votes cast rather than the scope of the decisions they wrote or joined, O'Connor gave the left more. On voting rights, campaign finance, the separation of church and state, and certainly on abortion and sex discrimination, she's the one. Georgetown law professor and contributor to Slate's Convictions blog Marty Lederman has been keeping the list. Kennedy goes deeper. But O'Connor went wider.
The contrast was evident last year when Kennedy issued his opinion in the late-term abortion case, Gonzales v. Carhart. He not only allowed the restriction on abortion in question to stand; he "relied on ancient notions about women's place in the family and under the Constitution" in mourning for women who come to regret their abortions later, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg objected in her dissent.
Kennedy's overall record on sex discrimination and women's rights is the opposite of reassuring. In a forthcoming paper, Drexel law professor David S. Cohen charts Kennedy's votes in 43 such cases in which the court was not unanimous. He finds that Kennedy voted to strike down the sex-discrimination claim (or voted in favor of the abortion restriction) 78 percent of the time. In cases that split 5-4, his conservative record is 97.5 percent. O'Connor voted in 40 of the 43 nonunanimous cases and voted yes to a sex-discrimination claim, Cohen reports, 34 percent of the time when Kennedy voted no. In no case did they switch sides, with Kennedy's vote recognizing merits of a claim that O'Connor rejected. "If you look at Justice Kennedy's entire record, he has very traditional notions about gender, particularly the family," Cohen says.
And yet there are titillating exceptions. Kennedy signed onto Ginsburg's opinion requiring the Virginia Military Institute to open its doors to women. He joined with O'Connor and Justice David Souter to fashion the compromise solution in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that saved the core of Roe v. Wade. And he wrote the pro-gay-rights opinions in Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas. Kennedy didn't just come down in favor of the gay litigants, he spoke sweetly to them. Romer protects them from government policies based on what Kennedy called "animus," or rank dislike. Lawrence, as William Eskridge and Darren Spedale point out in Slate, included cheering words about the contributions of gay people that have "helped make the country more gay-tolerant." Kennedy is the justice whom gay and lesbian couples in California should toast as they celebrate their first weddings.
Then there's Kennedy's star turn this term in Boumediene v. Bush, the court's big 5-4 split so far this term and the latest rejection of the Bush administration's efforts to lock up the Guantanamo detainees and bury the key in Cuba. Kennedy gave us "a sustained scholarly opinion that includes moving statements about the meaning of habeas and of constitutional limitations on power," as Yale law professor Judith Resnik puts it. In particular, there's this music to civil-libertarian ears: "The Framers viewed freedom from unlawful restraint as a fundamental precept of liberty, and they understood the writ of habeas corpus as a vital instrument to secure that freedom."
It's not exactly fair to compare Kennedy's opinion in Boumediene to O'Connor's in the first Guantanamo challenge, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, and to find her lacking. She went first, sooner after 9/11. Six years and two other intervening cases later, it's easier to chide the Bush administration and question its security mantra. Both opinions sketch an outline for a trial procedure for the detainees rather than filling in all the specifics. And O'Connor gave the detainees this line: "a state of war is not a blank check for the president." But Kennedy goes further in making clear that the right to bring a habeas appeal is a full one that reaches Guantanamo. Now that they have him on their side, the detainees' arguments have become his arguments.
Still, Kennedy may never swing with the liberals as often as O'Connor did. On the separation of church and state: In 2005, she knocked down a government display of the Ten Commandments. Kennedy would have left it in place. He also may prove more accepting of direct state aid to religious organizations, Marty Lederman points out. On campaign finance: In 2003, she upheld restrictions on donations by corporations and unions; Kennedy in effect reversed her last year. On race: O'Connor voted to uphold the University of Michigan law school's affirmative action plan in 2003. Kennedy voted to kill it. While he gets points for his concurrence in last year's school-integration decisions, which saved "race-conscious" student assignment plans, O'Connor might have been more sympathetic to the school districts in the end.
On the other hand, Kennedy has Roper v. Simmons, the case in which he put an end to the juvenile death penalty, over O'Connor's dissent. Kennedy even invoked the support of foreign courts in favor of his position—red meat that the right has been spitting back at him ever since. This is where Kennedy's enthusiasm can backfire. Even his defenders admit that he can be florid. O'Connor was never as easy to caricature. And she did let the left take her out on the dance floor more often, even if she never got down and boogied. There have been fewer 5-4 splits this term, but never fear; on some of the big ones, they'll be back. So who's the swing justice to swoon for: The one who gives more prim kisses, or the one who plays harder to get?

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — Merion Golf Club did more than just hold its own.
Called too short, too cramped and too much of a pushover when the U.S. Open teed off, it nearly stole the show by the end.
It crowned a worthy champion in Justin Rose, slid a banana peel beneath Phil Mickelson and sent Tiger Woods packing with his tail tucked between his legs.
It forced every player in the field to pull every club in the bag at one time or another, and left nearly all of them second-guessing throughout. There were more bogeys and bent clubs, hosel rockets and self-inflicted head slaps in the first two hours of the final round than you see some seasons in all four majors combined.
Between the limited space for the galleries and corporate tents, the payoffs to neighbors and Merion members for commandeering their lawns and clubhouse, the U.S. Golf Association may leave with a smaller haul than usual. But if it came here in search of grand theater, the USGA got a steal.
"At the start of the week everyone thought we were going to rip it up," Jason Day recalled ruefully, after tying with Mickelson for runner-up at 3 over, "but I just knew that somewhere around even par was going to win it."
Advances in technology and better-conditioned athletes have made the ball fly farther and were supposed to make 7,000-yard courses obsolete.
Mother Nature dumped buckets of rain through most of the four days to further soften up Merion's first line of defense — its devilishly sloped fairways and undulating greens.
But like every one of the game's great venues — old and new — Merion struck back by getting into the players' heads. Its quirky sightlines and blind shots left golfers doubting their aim even as they pulled the club back.
The mix of tough holes and easy ones — in the last round, one par-3 required a driver, another par-3 a wedge — toyed with their nerves and lulled the players into relaxing at all the wrong moments.
"I found that was the toughest thing," said Rose, whose winning score was 1 over.
"Because you could make birdies, you could get ahead of the card, around the middle of the course you could be 1 or 2 under. No round was safe until you played 18 holes. I think we learned that yesterday, the way I finished. I finished bogey, bogey. (Charl) Schwartzel, bogey, bogey. Luke (Donald), bogey, double bogey. Hunter (Mahan), bogey, bogey."
Because of the treacherous course setup at some places, the USGA has said its goal is to identify the best players, not embarrass them.
If so, despite the high scores and sometimes-amateurish shots, nearly every player in the field walked off looking more respectable for all the struggling — and none more-so than Rose.
The resolute Englishman was supposed to be golf's next big thing after finishing fourth in the 1998 British Open as a 17-year-old. Instead, soon after launching his pro career, Rose missed 21 straight cuts and lost his father.
When he tapped in for par at No. 18, he looked up at the sky in tribute to his father, kissed the golf ball he pulled from the cup, doffed his cap briefly and then waited to see whether Mickelson, playing in the final group behind him, could birdie a hole that hadn't yielded even one the last two days.
But in a nice bit of serendipity, a few moments earlier as he stood in the 18th fairway, Rose was only five paces behind the bronze plaque embedded there to recall the famous 1-iron that Ben Hogan hit here in 1950 to earn a spot in a playoff he won the next day.
Six decades later, for all the things that have changed in the game, the demands on a champion were the same: one solidly struck iron shot, two putts.
"It's hard not to play Merion and envision yourself hitting the shot that Hogan did," Rose recalled. "And even in the moment today, that was not lost on me. When I walked over the hill and saw my drive sitting perfectly in the middle of the fairway, with the sun coming out, it was kind of almost fitting. ...
"So I felt like I did myself justice," he added, "and probably put enough of a good swing where Ben Hogan might have thought it was a decent shot too."
Endorsements flowed in from other quarters, too. Rose, Mickelson, Woods, Day and just about every other contender interviewed Sunday said they would welcome the chance to come back for another major, stand in Hogan's spikes and see if they measured up.
Many in the golf community viewed this visit to Merion as a referendum of sorts on whether some of the game's other grand old venues — perhaps Chicago Golf Club, Riviera and The Country Club — would get the chance to face the test of time as well.
Standing alongside the 18th green just ahead of the trophy presentation, Tom O'Toole, chairman of the USGA's championship committee, wasn't prepared to commit to any site beyond those already awarded through 2020.
"The question with Merion was always whether the other things that go into staging an Open — infrastructure, logistics, those things mostly — would work out. It took a lot of creativity," he said.
"The naysayers dominated the early part of that conversation," O'Toole added. "But they've gone by the wayside now."

Popular annual bird watchers' event Jan. 14-17
PRATT — Each year, thousands of Kansans spend chilly days in the comfort of their homes, entertained by bustling birds raiding feeders. As snow and frigid winter temperatures entice finches, cardinals, juncos, woodpeckers, and a variety of other birds to backyard bird feeders across the state, both avid and casual bird watchers participate in the Kansas Winter Bird Feeder Survey and help biologists monitor songbird species. The Winter Bird Feeder Survey is a partnership among the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP), the Kansas Ornithological Society, and Pathfinder Science and is sponsored by the Chickadee Checkoff program.
Kansas bird watchers are asked to choose two consecutive days from Jan. 14-17, then observe and record the number and species of birds visiting their backyard feeders. Watchers then report the results online at Pathfinder Science, wbs.pathfinderscience.net, or go to the KDWP website for a hard copy form that can be mailed. Information gleaned from this survey helps KDWP track songbird population trends and types of feed that are most attractive to backyard birds. This long-term survey was expanded several years ago through Pathfinder Science at the University of Kansas to include surveys around the nation. Information is reported by state, so Kansas results are separate.
During the two days viewers choose, they record the times of day observed, list the numbers of each species seen, and describe their feeders using the online or printed form. In spaces provided, they list the highest number of each species seen together at any one time. For example, if 10 juncos are seen at 9 a.m., 11 at noon, and seven at 4 p.m., the number recorded is 11.
Observers are asked to count only during the two consecutive days and record only birds seen at their feeders, under their feeders, or in cover around their feeders. Birds that fly past a house and do not use feeding areas should not be counted.
For more information, phone 620-672-0792.

The Davidson County Sheriff's Office is seeking tips from the community regarding the theft of a light bar from an N.C. Highway Patrol vehicle in the Midway community.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office is seeking tips from the community regarding the theft of a light bar from an N.C. Highway Patrol vehicle in the Midway community.
The bizarre larceny was reported to the sheriff's office the morning of Jan. 16 by a trooper. He told deputies the light bar was stolen from his vehicle at his home off of Hickory Tree Road.
Sheriff David Grice believes the trooper was a target of a prank, being there is no market for a light bar, such as a pawn shop. He believes youngsters may be the culprits of the larceny.
The light bar, according to an incident report, is valued at $2,500 and was taken off of a 2008 Dodge Charger. The piece of equipment was last known to be secure at 6 p.m. Jan. 15, and the trooper found it missing at 6 the following morning.
Grice said law enforcement agencies typically see incidents of vandalism to their vehicles when patrol cars are parked at businesses. Regarding the trooper's missing light bar, he called the theft of the Highway Patrol equipment "quite unusual at a residence."
"I don't know if this trooper would have been singled out," the sheriff said. "In my opinion, (the culprits) saw the most convenient (target) in the neighborhood for a prank."
First Sgt. B.D. Stalvey of the Highway Patrol said this past week that troopers reviewed cases and arrests to see if there may have been a connection between the theft and prior incidents.
"Nothing jumps out," the first sergeant said.
Stalvey said the trooper noticed the light bar was missing when he checked on for work and heard loose wires on the top of his vehicle while en route to an accident. The first sergeant is confident the Highway Patrol and sheriff's office will receive information regarding the incident.
Anyone with information concerning the incident is encouraged to call the Davidson County Sheriff's Office at 242-2105.
Darrick Ignasiak can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 217, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
