NXT Mobile App in Action
As blogged by Jim yesterday, the "NXT Mobile" application for Java phone arrived on the Lego Mindstorms web site yesterday.
There are a few odd things about it, for example no screenshots of the program on the web page or in the User Guide. Also the software has a different version for every phone it directly supports, and no guidance if your phone is not on the list to which version to try.
Anyway I have installed the Nokia 3230 version on to a Nokia 3230 phone. This is the phone model on both the Lego web page and on the NXT box.
The software found my NXT and allowed me to connect to it, and operate the NXT brick.
Alongside are some screenshots from my phone of installing the software and starting the program.

Is there a list of recommended phones for J2ME use.

Hi David
Would you like to give me a clue as to which network you use, or your preferred phone brand?
Most mid to high range GSM /WCDMA phones support Java (JME / J2ME) applications.
If you have a phone in mind you can check the manufacturer's website.
I will post some more info later...

:( :( Too bad it doesnt work with Motorola V360 :( :( :(

Motorola v360 -
As far as I can see from Motorola's online manual the v360 both runs Java (J2ME) programs and has Bluetooth.
Java access to Bluetooth is optional, and it is not clear whether that is available.
If Java programs can use Bluetooth then:
1. Maybe one of the JAR files in the NXT Mobile zip file may work. I suggest trying the version for Sony Ericsson K750 - I think this expects the least features.
2. Lego are likely to deliver new variants that work on further phone models.
3. Somebody else could write a similar Java program that will work.
A French Java Developers' group does believe the V360 gives Bluetooth access to Java applications:

Phones supporting J2ME applications ...
The above linked French Java Developers web site seems like a good resource. But try to verify the information with the manufacturer's web site.
Nokia have an online features list for different phones - http://forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html Any phone with both Bluetooth and Java "MIDP 2.0" is likely to work.
Sony Ericsson have a document on their developer web pages listing Java support on various phone models.
Here are the Sony Ericsson models that have the necessary support for Java and Bluetooth. Presented in 3 groups, which progressively have more Java features.
Group 1; K600, K750, V600, W700, W800, Z520 and Z525 series.
Group 2; K320, K510, W300, W550, W600, W810, W900, Z510, Z530, Z550 and Z558 series.
Group 3; K610, K800, K790, W710, W830, W850, Z610 and Z710 series.
Also (most of) the Sony Ericsson UIQ smartphones should run Bluetooth and Java just fine.
UIQ 2: P800 series - (this may not give Java access to Bluetooth).
UIQ 2.1: P900 and P910 series
UIQ 3: M600 series, M608c, P990 series, W950 series and W958c.
The letter after the model just indicates the user interface:
i - international; English, other European languages
c - Chinese
a - Arabic ?
All information given in good faith. (If you use this to help select a new phone please verify it does what you want. I have not tested every model!)
Hope this all helps,

Just a dumb question from the only person on earth without a cell phone. DO NOT ASK WHY I hate any type of phone. I spent all my life on one answering stupid questions like mine!
I there any way to get a phone that works without using it as a regular phone and the outLANDISH charges?

I had a TREO for a long time that I continued to use simply for its applications (and games) - the phone service on it was turned off. Most phones that have these extra functions (including Bluetooth) should work normally even if phone service isn't turned on.

Hi Will
Sorry I did not notice your post before ...
I suggest first of all waiting for more people to try the Mobile Application(s) on different devices.
GSM cellphones are sold "unlocked", or can often be unlocked. A "network locked" GSM phone is configured to only work with the SIM (Subscribe id) card for a particular network.
Even unlocked some GSM phones want a SIM card to be installed. At least in most countries of Europe, and in China, you can can buy a "pre-paid" or "pay as you go" SIM for a modest sum.
Used, unlocked GSM phones are often available on Ebay.
Another option in future could be a Bluetooth Gamepad. Assuming nobody beats me to it, I hope to add support for these when the NXT source code is released by Lego. (Although outside of Hong Kong these still seem rather expensive.)

hi , you have mentioned that the sonyericsson z520i can be used with the moblie application used for controling the nxt but i cannot get it to work can you please help me, i dont know why it wont work is there somthing i have to download to my phone or somthing i have to update on it??
regards , frank
- Jan 2, 2007, 12:41:00 AM
okayyyy.... so does anyone know whether it is an easy step to leave the bluetooth gsm phone next to the model / include the phone within the vehicle, and then dial into it remotely from another phone and pass commands to the NXT. If (in the context of a rov) you had a 3G enabled video phone you could then thoretically take control of the rov from anywhere in the world where there is a phone signal, and see what is going on. Ideas?

I can confirm that the K750i version of the software works correctly on my V600i.

"Any phone with both Bluetooth and Java "MIDP 2.0" is likely to work"
and with CLDC 1.1.
SE p910i has CLDC 1.0 so it won't work:/

I have a successful consistent connection between my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile and my NXT all loaded and working from the Lego mobile application site. Just follow the instructions exactly in regards to PC, NXT, and the phone.
IT also successfully runs the FUNKNXT program found elsewhere on this site.
It great to have a remote facility for the NXT.

Question - the link that seems to be circulating for downloading this app
no longer seems to pull up anything except the Mindstorms home page for me. Just wondering is this the case for everyone? And if so, is there anywhere I can still download the bluetooth app? Couldn't find anything on the website..

It's no secret that with three seats up for reelection on the Mexico Beach City Council next month, the council's decisions on the historic Parker House may weigh heavily into the public's choices.
Despite feelings about the project's history, all incumbents agree that progress needs to be made; they just have different views on how to go about it.
The city purchased the Parker House and property in July 2011 for $429,000 with plans to use it as a new city hall. On July 29 the property caught fire due to an electrical issue and was considered a loss.
Shortly thereafter the insurer paid $322,622 for damages and the council bid out redesigns on the city hall with hopes of utilizing the existing structure.
With just two bids submitted the project was awarded to Cathey Construction out of Mexico Beach.
Toward the end of 2011, designs were drafted for the new city hall and Cathey Construction began demolition of the building in March 2012 but uncovered issues with the foundation that could hamper rebuilding.
Councilman Jack Mullen brought the issues to the insurance company over several visits to its Lake Mary office, even taking Cathey Construction owner Brian Cathey with him on one occasion.
In November an insurance representative visited the Parker House but decided that the slab was fine to rebuild on.
The council, not convinced, hired Nova Engineering out of Panama City for a second opinion. After conducting a foundation analysis and soil borings Nova agreed with Cathey Construction that the slab should not be used.
The council decided to build the new city hall on Parker House property, but in a different location and began designs on the plans.
Rather than rebid the project, which had changed in size and scope, it stayed with Cathey Construction, which has been an ethical sticking point among citizens.
"Brian Cathey is the one person who's gone over there and knew what he's talking about," said Councilman Gary Woodham. "He's totally responsible for all the insurance money we've made.
"He should receive gratitude, not condemnation."
While the insurance company had paid the city $660,000 for damages, more than $140,000 was spent in rent and upkeep costs on the damaged building over two years, leaving the council just $485,000 to construct the new city hall.
Finally, the city received a settlement offer from the insurance company in February for $174,000 on the remaining damages and a new foundation.
Shortly thereafter, an executive session was held to discuss official numbers on the project and at February's regular meeting Woodham told the council that he wanted to confer with a lawyer to explore the possibility of getting more money from the insurance company through litigation.
After the visit, Woodham told the council that according to the lawyer, the city might be able to receive more money, though an official number has not been released.
Woodham said that if more funds are received from the insurance company, the city won't have to lean on taxpayer money for the construction of city hall.
"There's more money on the table," said Woodham. "I want a city hall that we can all be proud of.
"I'm part of the community and I want it to be beautiful for future generations."
During last month's meeting Councilwoman Tanya Castro was vocal about not litigating with the insurance company.
When asked, she said that while she didn't know if the settlement was fair, she favored progress over litigation.
"The only information to say that the settlement is unfair is coming from the contractor," said Castro. "Let's settle and move forward."
Castro has encouraged the council to consider whether the cost of litigation could outweigh the costs of the new city hall.
Castro said her main concern was that the current bid price from Cathey Construction is more than the city can afford after two years of upkeep.
"We need to stop and ask if it makes sense to spend what appears to be a million dollars on a city hall for six employees that most citizens will never go to," said Castro. "Is that what our taxpayers need?"
Castro said she was concerned that the new city hall wouldn't have public space available. She expressed that Mexico Beach is already in need of a building for special events.
During a workshop last month citizens expressed confusion on why a 3,200 square foot city hall was even needed.
"It's a lot of money to build a house that size on land we own," said Mullen, commiserating with the statements.
The members of the council agreed that progress must be made, but they must decide which direction to go. Demolition will begin soon on the Parker House and citizens will be looking for something to take its place.
"I just want to see us move in a positive direction," said Woodham. "During this campaign I've learned that a lot of people don't know the true facts.
"I want to give them those facts to help them make a decision."
Despite which way the Council decides to go, it seems that everything has a price.
"Look at the indirect costs of negative publicity," said Castro. "The price the city has paid…it's beyond measure."
Tuesday's regular meeting
At Tuesday's regular meeting Woodham shared a letter he received fromattorney Dion Moniz who looked over some of the insurance documents.
According to the letter, the settlement being offered was "insufficient" because it implied that the Parker House was a commercial-use building at the time of the fire.
The building should have been, said Woodham, considered a city hall as soon as it was insured by the city.
Moniz's letter also suggested the settlement does not cover the costs for redesigns that the city completed after the structural analysis or site work that had been completed so far.
A specific amount the city could pursue wasn't given without the lawyer having access to a list of unreimbursed funds but if hired, he would attempt to get them without litigation and only sue the insurance company if necessary.
The lawyer recommended the council hold an executive session at the end of the month to meet with he and Brian Cathey of Cathey Construction to discuss the specifics.
Castro disagreed the Parker House could be considered a city hall since it was empty at the time of the fire and expressed concern that paying the litigation costs could use up money that the city doesn't have.
"This could take a long time," said city attorney Paul Komarek. "This process typically takes longer than people would like and costs more than they expect."
Komarek encouraged the council to hold an executive session to get as much information as possible before making a decision. He reminded the council that due to Florida law, a lawsuit must be filed within five years from the day off loss and that while there's no time frame for accepting the settlement offer, the insurance company could withdraw it at any time.
Demolition on the Parker House was slowed down by rainy weather but is expected to be complete by next week.

Remember, anti-Catholic, of course, is a buzz term; it's meant to stop thought, not create thought; it's meant to create divisions and walls, and it's just, you know, every time I hear someone calling me an anti-Catholic or an anti-Mormon or an anti-Muslim, or whatever, I realize this is a very rude, inconsiderate, and self-centered person, because I am a Reformed Baptist apologist: that's what I am. And I recognize that other persons who defend their faith; I call Muslims, Muslim apologists. I don't call 'em anti-Christian apologists. I don't call Roman Catholics anti-Protestant apologists. I mean, for many of 'em, that might not be a bad description, but I recognize that -- and I think any fair-minded person recognizes -- that I make a positive case for my faith. . . . any honest-hearted person will admit that I should simply be identified as a Reformed Baptist apologist; a Christian apologist in general, but specifically, if you wanna go for the denominational moniker, I would be a Reformed Baptist apologist. That's just basic common sense, right? Okay. So, I hear people use the anti-this, anti-that; I know they're really not interested in truth. They're sellin' somethin'; they're snake oil salesmen types of people. And you hear this all the time on Catholic Answers and things like that.
Later, White also mentioned at 29:45, "not only was the term anti-Catholic used, which is just bogus; it's just dishonest . . ." And again, at 41:20 to 41:50, attacking a statement by Marcus Grodi on his radio show, Deep in Scripture, he waxes indignant:
"Anti-Catholic preacher." May I just register my gross offense at this bigotry? That's what it is. It's Roman Catholic bigotry. It's offensive Roman Catholic bigotry, to make your communion the definer of all things, so if someone doesn't agree with your communion, "well, they're just anti-Catholic. They have nothing positive to say; they're just anti-Catholic." That's bigotry!
Now, knowing quite a bit about White and his vapid, illogical, and often non-factual polemics (frequently peppered with huge ethical double standards) as I do (15 years experience), I knew that this was a bald-faced lie, in terms of his own use of language. Let's look at the actual record, from his own blog:
There seems to be a strong element of anti-Reformed or anti-Calvinistic feeling among adherents to the KJV Only position, . . . ("New Age Bible Versions Refuted")
. . . common in anti-Reformed polemics . . . ("An Excellent Example of Sola Ecclesia: John 6 and Exegesis")
I was a little taken aback by the anti-Reformed polemic inherent in Lenski's commentary. I am aware that many Lutherans continue to harbor that kind of anti-Calvinism (I suppose some Calvinists harbor anti-Lutheran feelings in turn, though I haven't encountered it myself) . . . Lenski and other anti-Reformed writers . . . ("A Reformed Response to the Comments of R. C. H. Lenski on Romans 9")
The source The Berean Call utilized to attempt substantiation of the wild claims about a Hebrew original of Acts 13:48 that is meant to cast doubt upon the actual translation of the passage (all in the service of anti-Calvinism) turns out to be anti-Trinitarian as well. (12-19-04)

. . . anonymous anti-Calvinist blogger "Charles" . . . (3-7-06)

Ergun Caner's anti-Calvinism sermon a few weeks ago, . . . (6-6-06)
But please note, I am not blaming anti-Baptists for it. (9-29-06)
[yet on 7-11-07, White wrote: " what the Pope said in this recent document is perfectly consistent with Roman Catholic ecclesiology, and hence, to define his position in terms such as 'anti-Baptist' is absurd, just as it is absurd to call me an anti-Catholic."]
. . . it looks like there is only one template out there for anti-Calvinism sermons, . . . (10-12-06)
We continued with George Bryson and his anti-Calvinist materials, . . . (12-22-06)
In any case, Armstrong is so impressed with his own standing that he seems to think he can make up definitions for words as he goes along. It has been his practice for some time to arbitrarily define the phrase "anti-Catholic" so that he can use it of others but, due to a modern reading of Roman doctrine so as to allow for "separated brethren" to be called "Christians" while still anathematizing their theology, he can't be called an anti-Protestant. So, he arbitrarily defines the phrase so that since I deny Rome's gospel saves, I am an anti-Catholic, but since he can affirm, in some inconsistent and nebulous fashion, that I am a "Christian," then he is not an anti-Protestant. (8-3-07)

The far edge of anti-Reformed rhetoric can get a bit loopy at times. (7-10-09)
I find it ironic that Shea will use the "anti-Catholic" moniker frequently, yet, it is his attitude that is most accurately described as "anti-Protestant" or anti-Calvinist or however else you'd like to express it. (7-15-09)
. . . our examination of Norman Geisler's anti-Calvinism sermon. . . . (7-23-09)
We are trying to arrange *two* debate on Unbelievable, and one of them may be with an anti-Trinitarian I have wanted to engage for a long time. (1-16-10)
. . . yet another anti-Calvinistic screed . . . Ergun Caner's detestation of Reformed theology is well known. His utter lack of balance in his anti-Calvinism, . . . was difficult to understand . . . (6-29-10)

The Land of Lost Comments
July 20, 1983 at 2:07 pm in INFORUM
It all started when our predictably heroic protagonist, Captain Daring, woke up in a secret vineyard. It was the sixth time it had happened. Feeling exceedingly angered, Captain Daring hit a wolverine, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Duly ecstatic about the looming crises, he realized that his beloved frankfurter case was missing! Immediately he called his so-called friend, Edwin the Talented Chimpanzee. Captain Daring had known Edwin for (plus or minus) 153 years, the majority of which were enchanting ones. Edwin was unique. He was ingenious though sometimes a little… dimwitted. Captain Daring called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.
Edwin picked up to a very sad Captain Daring. Edwin calmly assured him that most Indonesian devil cats cringe before mating, yet spotted wolf hamsters usually indiscriminately shudder *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Captain Daring. Why was Edwin trying to distract Captain Daring? Because he had snuck out from Captain Daring's with the frankfurter case only two days prior. It was a flamboyant little frankfurter case… how could he resist?
It didn't take long before Captain Daring got back to the subject at hand: his frankfurter case. Edwin yawned. Relunctantly, Edwin invited him over, assuring him they'd find the frankfurter case. Captain Daring grabbed his elephant and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Edwin realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the frankfurter case and he had to do it recklessly. He figured that if Captain Daring took the elephant express, he had take at least four minutes before Captain Daring would get there. But if he took the banana rocket? Then Edwin would be barely screwed.
Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, Edwin was interrupted by eleven insensitive prickly panthers that were lured by his frankfurter case. Edwin yawned; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling stunned, he thoughtfully reached for his gerbil and aggressively poked every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent–the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the lemur-infested moor, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the banana rocket rolling up; it was Captain Daring.
As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at Seven-Eleven to pick up a 12-pack of gerbils, so he knew he was running late. With a skillful leap, Captain Daring was out of the banana rocket and went sassily jaunting toward Edwin the Talented Chimpanzee's front door. Meanwhile inside, Edwin was panicking. Not thinking, he tossed the frankfurter case into a box of live hand grenades and then slid the box behind his hippopotamus. Edwin was frustrated, but at least the frankfurter case was concealed. The doorbell rang.
'Come in,' Edwin surreptitiously purred. With a heroic push, Captain Daring opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some selfish self-righteous ass in a rice rocket,' he lied. 'It's fine,' Edwin assured him. Captain Daring took a seat ridiculously close to where Edwin had hidden the frankfurter case. Edwin sneezed trying unsuccessfully to hide his nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' he blurted. But Captain Daring was distracted. In a tragically predictable turn of events, Edwin noticed a dimwitted look on Captain Daring's face. Captain Daring slowly opened his mouth to speak.
'…What's that smell?'
Edwin the Talented Chimpanzee felt a stabbing pain in his kidney when Captain Daring asked this. In a moment of disbelief, he realized that he had hidden the frankfurter case right by his oscillating fan (which was hanging above the grenade box). 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. An abrasive look started to form on Captain Daring's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's live hand grenades from when she used to have pet 3-legged wallabies. She, uh…dropped 'em by here earlier'. Captain Daring nodded with false acknowledgement…then, before Edwin could react, Captain Daring aimlessly lunged toward the box and opened it. The frankfurter case was plainly in view, resting peacefully on the pile of live hand grenades.
Captain Daring stared at Edwin for what what must've been eleven microseconds. In a predictably predictable turn of events, Edwin groped indiscriminately in Captain Daring's direction, clearly desperate. Captain Daring grabbed the frankfurter case and bolted for the door. The door was locked. Edwin, seeing he now had the upper hand, let out a flamboyant chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Captain Daring,' he rebuked. Edwin always had been a little dimwitted, so Captain Daring knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Edwin did something crazy, like… start chucking ninja stars at him or something. In yet another predictable turn of events, he gripped his frankfurter case tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the panes of glass.
Edwin looked on, blankly. 'What the hell!? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Captain Daring. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame three days ago…it never ends!' Suddenly, he felt a tinge of concern for Captain Daring. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Edwin walked over to the window and looked down. Captain Daring was gone.
Just yonder, Captain Daring was struggling to make his way through the imaginary desert behind Edwin the Talented Chimpanzee's place. Captain Daring had severely hurt his ear during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral prickly panthers suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the frankfurter case. One by one they latched on to Captain Daring. Already weakened from his injury, Captain Daring yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of prickly panthers running off with his frankfurter case.
But then an omnipotent being by the name of Q came down with his charismatic smile and restored Captain Daring's frankfurter case. Feeling worried, Q smote the prickly panthers for their injustice. Then Q got in his scarlet, busted-out hatchback and whizzed away with the fortitude of half a million South American hissing sloths running from a misshapen pack of man-eating capybaras. Captain Daring skipped with joy when he saw this. His frankfurter case was safe. It was a good thing, too, because in eleven minutes his favorite TV show, Gilligan's Island, was going to come on (followed immediately by 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'). Captain Daring was giddy. And so, everyone except Edwin the Talented Chimpanzee and a few gun-toting 3-legged wallabies lived blissfully happy, forever after.

NICEVILLE — Northwest Florida State College President Ty Handy's contract has been renewed for another three years.
Under the amended contract, Handy's salary will increase by 1.5 percent like the rest of faculty and staff, and his compensation package will be increased by $500 to adjust to inflation. He also can cash in up to 10 unused days of leave instead of five days.
His base salary will be $205,104.
"It's great to have a vote of confidence," Handy said Wednesday after the board of trustees' decision Tuesday night.
Trustees C. Wayne Ansley and Patrick Byrne voted against the contract.
Ansley and Byrne were appointed to the board in late March along with Mike Flynt and Brad Drake.
"I'm going to have a problem extending the contact … as I've only known you for three meetings," Ansley said. " … It's nothing personal. I hope you understand that."
Byrne said he was uncomfortable with keeping Handy on a three-year contract in light of controversy surrounding other Florida college presidents' contracts. He said it would be better if the agreement was for two years.
He said he didn't have any issues with any other part of the contract and complimented it.
"Quite frankly, I think it's a deal if you compare his benefit package with his peer group," Byrne said.
The trustees also approved NWF State's budget for the next school year.
The $42.9 million spending plan calls for no tuition increases, but will raise the average student's capital improvement fee by about $30 per semester.
"It continues to be tough times in Florida for higher education … but we understand that so we're being very, very careful," Handy said.
The budget provides a 1.5 percent pay increase for most faculty and staff, but doesn't call for any major construction projects.
Budget projections were based on enrollment dropping about 3 percent from the 2012-13 school year.
"I'm pleased that we're able to offer what we're able to offer," Handy said.

Nine populations of geese occur in Kansas, with all but one, the Eastern Prairie Canada Goose Population, being at, or above, their population objective. Kansas is located within the Central Flyway and shares its goose resources with the other states of that Flyway, Canada, and to a lesser extent the Mississippi Flyway.
The primary goose populations occurring in Kansas originate from the Arctic regions of Canada, provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and east tier states of the Central Flyway (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas itself). Throughout North America geese are managed at the population level. Within the Central Flyway, goose populations are usually defined as being composed of one or more races or species, grouped in aggregations based on wintering range similarities. This approach is a mix of biology and politics which facilitates the management of these species.
Of the nine populations of geese that occur in Kansas, seven occur in significant numbers at some time during the annual cycle. The resident Canada geese are members of the Great Plains Population which range from the southern areas of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, through North Dakota and south into northern Texas. The other population of large Canada geese which occurs in Kansas is the Western Prairie Population, which nests in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba and winters from North Dakota south to northern Texas. These two populations are comprised of large birds ( Branta canadensis maxima, moffitti and interior), and are largely the results of restoration efforts throughout their range. The Great Plains and Western Prairie Populations are managed jointly through one management plan.
In contrast to the large Canada geese, small Canada geese, light geese and white-fronted geese tend to nest farther north in the Arctic regions of the continent. Although they nest farther north than large Canada's, they tend to winter farther south, with small Canada's, white-fronts and light geese being common along the GulfCoast and south into Mexico.
Two populations of small Canada geese occur in Kansas. Members of the Tall Grass Prairie Population are oriented to the eastern two thirds of the state, while the Short Grass Prairie Population is found in the western third of Kansas. These two populations are comprised of small races of Canada geese ( B. C. Parvipes and Hutchinsii).
One population of white-fronted geese and two populations of light (lesser snow geese and Ross') geese also occur here. The Mid-Continent Population of white-fronted geese ( Anser albifrons frontalis) occurs throughout Kansas during the migration and winter seasons, but is most common in the mid-section of the state. The Mid-Continent Population of light geese is composed primarily of lessor snow geese ( Anser caerulescens caerulescens), with some Ross' geese ( Anser rossii), and is most common in the eastern third of the state, while the Western Central Flyway Population of light geese occurs on the extreme western edge of Kansas and includes a significant proportion of Ross' geese.
In addition to the seven primary populations of geese which occur in Kansas, two populations of Canada geese common to the Mississippi Flyway visit our state. The first, the Eastern Prairie Population (EPP), comprise a significant proportion of the geese which winter at, or near, the Marais des CygnesWA, and may contribute a major share of the Canada goose harvest at that area and throughout southeast Kansas during some years. EPP Canada geese consist of B. C. interior race and nest in the Hudson Bay Lowlands of Manitoba and winter primarily in Missouri. Unlike other populations of geese common to Kansas, and those in the Central Flyway, it remains very near, or below the population objective.
The second population of Canada geese that occurs in Kansas, but originates in the Mississippi Flyway, comes from the Mississippi Flyway Giant Population. A segment of the restoration birds from Minneapolis, Minnesota, which belong to this population, developed a migration pattern to Wichita, Kansas. It is possible that up to 40 percent of the Canada goose harvest in SedgwickCounty is composed of geese from Minnesota.
Currently, with the exception of EPP geese, all populations of geese common to Kansas are at or above their population objectives. In fact, light goose populations have increased to the point where they are causing significant long-term damage to their breeding habitat.
The history of goose management in Kansas and the Central Flyway is one of success. During the early 1960's slightly more than 200,000 Canada geese were observed during the winter surveys in the Central Flyway. In January 2001, approximately 1.25 million were reported. Not all geese are observed or reported during operational surveys, but the trend is obvious, and utilized for management decisions. The numbers for white-fronts, Ross' geese and Snow geese show the same trends, with light goose (Ross' and snow geese) numbers being more than double the population objective. Wild nesting Canada geese occurred in fewer than six counties in our state immediately prior to 1980, when the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks initiated the most recent restoration effort. Since that time resident Canada geese have been established throughout the state where suitable habitat occurs, including all counties in the eastern two-thirds of the state.

I grew up in an East Coast colonial home. My mother took great pride in decorating both the dining room and the living room with traditional furniture and beautiful artwork, and she painted the walls a distinct shade of powder blue. We often had large family dinners, so the dining room had its fair share of activity. However, the living room – with its velvet sofa and chairs and ornate lamps – was only used on rare special occasions. As a child, this room intrigued me because of its "off limits" status.
Fast-forward to my adulthood: When my husband and I purchased our single-family home, I fell right in line with tradition. I decorated the living room with plush seating, painted the walls a subtle color and … guess what? We never used the room. I did what I saw in the past and not what made sense for the present. Today, what used to be our living room is now the piano room. Gone are the classic furniture pieces and in their place are a pair of modern chairs, a large desk, bookshelves and a piano. This room has become a hot spot for conversation and coffee, and my kids use it for homework and music lessons. We spend time here every day, and with its crimson wall color, the room now has the energy it once lacked.
As a designer, I'm finding this type of transformation is not uncommon. Today's lifestyles are becoming much less formal and much more hectic. As a result, designers are challenged with helping busy homeowners create multifunctional spaces that are casual and livable. This informal style is what's being called the "new traditional."
"Less formal is what everybody craves, but [it's a look] they may not be able to create themselves," says Jill Sharp Brinson, stylist and creative director of Jill Sharp Style. Sharp Brinson works with home furnishings company Ballard Designs and she's the creative force behind the beautifully styled images in their catalogs. Recently, the company called on her to design a makeover for a young family that was stumped on how to turn their unused living room into a welcoming space.
As part of the makeover, Sharp Brinson changed this traditional room into a chic salon. By incorporating separate, cozy seating groups along with durable fabrics and a lived-in aesthetic, she designed an inviting and comfortable room where the couple both entertains and hangs out to relax with their three young children.
"I think that a lot of labeled rooms in houses don't allow people flexibility. Living rooms and dining rooms are often perfect examples," explains Sharp Brinson. "We still reflect on spaces that we weren't encouraged to go in as children, and somehow, that bias sticks with us as we grow up and start to make homes of our own."
The tide is certainly changing, and not just for young couples or busy families with a full house. Business owner Libby Wilkie and her husband are empty-nesters. When they recently moved into their new home in North Carolina, they immediately converted the dining room into a home office for Wilkie's husband. The transformation included constructing a wall between the new office and the living room and adding double French doors off the foyer for privacy.
"I have my office upstairs and my husband had to have his own, separate space," says Wilkie, who owns an art licensing business and authors the blog An Eye For Detail. "Even in our small New York City apartment, we had separate work spaces. We know this is a critical element of any house we have."
The Wilkies only used the formal dining room in their former home on holidays and birthdays. Once they moved away from family, and with their adult daughter on her own, the Wilkies knew their changed lifestyle didn't require a traditional dining room. "We live outside more now that we're in the South, and cocktail parties are more the norm than formal dinner parties," says Wilkie.
So, with a diverse group of homeowners moving towards a more casual lifestyle, I asked Sharp Brinson for a few styling secrets for taking a room from formal to everyday friendly. For the dining room, she suggests removing some or all of the dining chairs and replacing them with chairs that aren't typical for dining, such as wing chairs (I think stylish office chairs would work great, too). "What this does is cause clients to rethink how they'll use the space – whether that means using it for working on a laptop, reading the newspaper or having a cozy supper," explains Sharp Brinson. She also recommends helping clients create a tablescape using their favorite items, which makes the dining table more approachable and inviting.
Finally, I pondered what role color plays in all of this, because I don't believe there are formal colors versus casual colors. For example, I used red in my piano room, but I've also used it in spaces that were much more elaborate. And both Sharp Brinson and Wilkie use lots of earthy, organic colors in their designs that would look great in any type of space. As Sharp Brinson puts it, "Maybe certain values and vibrancies of color can suggest formal versus casual, but color in general is really an amazing tool that can be used so many, many different ways."

Race2Recovery head to Dakar Rally
The injured soldiers we featured last year are aiming to be the first disabled team to complete it…
Posted: 03 Jan 2013
Those with a good memory and/or Dave will remember Hammond visiting Race2Recovery, an astonishing team of off-road-racing soldiers that suffered major injuries in Afghanistan. You'll also remember that it wanted to compete in the grueling Dakar rally - an ambition they'll fulfill in two days pending today and tomorrow's technical scrutineering.
Yep, it's actually happening. And since its Top Gear appearance, the team's been extremely busy making the necessary preparations - the boys have taken part in the savage Tuareg Rally in North Africa (both cars and their drivers/co-drivers each won a stage), and it's got official support from Land Rover, which has provided training, technical support, two Discoverys, and a Defender 130.
Tony Harris, the driver from our film that suffered a below-knee amputation during service as an Infantry Officer for the Royal Fusiliers, says: "I'm the optimistic one of the team so I always thought it was something I could achieve - it was touch and go at some points, but to have got what was essentially a volunteer team here is nothing short of incredible."
"I can't wait for race day. I've got some big-game nerves, but it feels like there's so much freedom here, particularly after what happened - we can put our worries and bad stuff to one side. Here, it seems like me being blown up has started a new chapter in my life. And seeing the smiles on all of the team's faces is just amazing.
"We just don't know how the desert is going to affect those of us with amputations. Because my prosthetic is effectively a pirate's leg I shouldn't have too much to worry about. But Tom [the co-driver from our film] has electric legs with moving parts and we're not sure how they'll function in the desert."
The team will cover more than 5,500 miles in just 15 days, charging through Argentina and Chile at speeds of up to 120mph (though not through Dakar, Senegal: the rally's changed location but kept its name). Not everyone manages to finish the race - just 40% - but using four 283bhp V8-powered QT Wildcats stacks the odds favourably - 60% of them cross the line.
In addition to the four Wildcats and factory-provided Land Rovers, there are two 8x8 support trucks (one MAN, one DAF), and a Renault Kerax 4x4 racing truck/mobile workshop. During the Rally, the four race vehicles will run in two pairs, supporting each other across the course, whilst the support truck follows. The 8x8s, which provide the team's service areas, and Land Rovers, which transport the mechanics and team management, follow a separate liaison route
As well as driving largely off-road for around 650km a day with only a small pop-up tent to sleep in, the team'll be dealing with the additional complications of their injuries, which vary from missing limbs and respiratory wounds, to psychological and fragmentation injuries.
The boys' effort will raise money for Help For Heroes and Tedworth House, one of the five recovery centres set up in partnership between the Ministry of Defence, Help for Heroes and The Royal British Legion.
So, what's next for Race2Recovery? Tony says: "we never expected the reach of Top Gear - the support from other competitors and the public here has been amazing. It's encouraged us looking forward, and if this could lead to a team full-time team and sponsor to bring awareness of these gargantuan races to the British public that would be phenomenal. Widening employment opportunities for injured people would be also of huge interest."

Learning through languageFebruary 18,2013The simple-but-inescapable meat hook realities of producing a daily newspaper puts me in a position of writing this column on Thursday, which is funny for me because Im really writing this to put off writing something else that will have appeared days ago. Ive found myself somewhere in the darkest circles of school budget hell, where the phrase education spending is a piece of statutory language and not a synonym for school budget. Dont you dare ever make that mistake if you find yourself talking with anyone who makes their living in education. Or the Tax Department. Or our elected officials. This is life-or-death stuff, my friends, and I dread writing about it, partially for fear I will simply get something wrong, as I did when I first started covering crime and thought homicide was synonymous with murder.
Instead, Im going to keep things light and offer you a couple of news tidbits that I didnt find a home for this week.
Booster clubs
and foundations
Rutland City Schools is looking to create a pair of 501(c)(3) nonprofit groups. The first would allow the Rutland Raiders Booster Club to become its own organization. The move would enable the club to give donors a record of their tax-deductible gifts. The club would incorporate itself and have at least two committees, one for sports and another for music and the arts.
The other proposal is to create the Rutland Public Schools Foundation, which would allow donors to give directly to the district for scholarships and other charitable purposes. Superintendent Mary Moran told me the district had looked into creating a foundation seven or eight years ago and decided to hold off, because other school districts were creating foundations after Act 60 and Act 68 in an attempt to dodge the collection of school-bound tax dollars by the state. Now, the time might be right.
Weve had a couple of inquiries from people who are planning their estates and want to make donations and right now they cant do that, Moran told the School Board last week.
The district is waiting on word from the state and since my beloved Arlington Eagles never play Rutland, I guess Im free to say, Go Raiders!
Lets learn
another language
Rutland High School is looking to take advantage of an opportunity to expand its foreign language curriculum. Middlebury Interactive Languages is a for-profit service that offers online classes in languages commonly studied in high school French, Latin and Spanish as well as more diverse offerings such as Chinese. Usually, Middlebury Interactive charges $25,000 a year for the service, but in January they offered to provide site licenses for $6,000 to the first 30 schools who applied. Now, it appears Rutland High might jump on this opportunity, and I say Godspeed to the faculty, staff and students.
One of the many hats Ive worn over the years was that of an English teacher in Japan. I taught for Nova Group, a for-profit school similar to Middlebury Interactive. I arrived there fluent in English, marginally competent in French and Spanish and possessing a handful of Japanese phrases that involved ordering food and drinks and being able to tell a woman shes attractive.
I was there for about 18 months, and the euphoria of the new quickly turned into frustration as I was unable to achieve even a basic mastery of the written language. It made me empathetic toward my students, who were mostly adults who had learned to read and write English in primary school but had no idea what it sounds like.
I just came from California, which has a sizable Spanish-speaking population and an equally sizable population of angry people who will shout as loud and as often as opportunity allows some variation on Learn to speak American! I found myself initiating conversations in Spanish with these supposed non-English speakers. Unamazingly, I discovered these folks could speak English. They just didnt want to talk with someone who was so aggressive about speaking English, who couldnt speak another language, was dead-set against learning one and usually had poor command of the one language they knew.
Language barriers are one of the ways some people differentiate between who belongs and who doesnt, and by extension who is a better person. We Americans seriously need to get over our fear of sounding foolish when speaking another language with a native speaker. With the exception of a few days in Paris, Ive never had a French, Japanese or Spanish speaker yell at me to learn the language.
Our youth are already behind the rest of the world in most education subjects, and the recent push for students to focus on STEM science, technology, engineering and math is not going to be worth a whole lot if they cant communicate with scientists, mathematicians and engineers from other countries. And if were behind, why would they bother to learn to communicate with us anyway?
