Dale D. Humburg
Chief Scientist
M.S. Michigan State University
B.S. Iowa State University
Mr. Humburg's waterfowl education began with his dad in a duck boat in 1955. More formal exposure to wildlife research began with the Iowa Conservation Commission as a seasonal employee (1969-1976) where he worked on red fox telemetry, pheasant nesting, duck banding, nesting studies, duck harvest data analysis, and early Canada goose restoration. His professional career continued as an upland research biologist during 1976-1977 in Iowa. The majority of his professional career was as a wetland and waterfowl research biologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC - 1977-2002) and more recently served as the division chief for the MDC's Resource Science Division (2002-2007). He retired after 30 years with MDC to begin another career in September 2007 as DU's Chief Biologist. Experience in wetland and waterfowl research has involved semi-permanent marsh management, invertebrate dynamics, willow wetlands, Canada goose wintering ecology, evaluation of waterfowl hunting programs, surveys of waterfowl hunters, and a number of studies following the 1993 flood on the Missouri River. Recent emphasis has been on employing adaptive management concepts as a framework for more explicit management and policy decisions. Mr. Humburg is a wetland owner and manager, and 50 years later, is passing on lessons learned in the duck boat to his grandsons.

- Purdy: San Francisco 49ers are beating the odds
- 49ers notebook: Kicker Phil Dawson calls rival
The playoffs are again commonplace for the 49ers. Sunday's showdown at Carolina will mark the seventh postseason game in Jim Harbaugh's three years as head coach.
Familiarity, though, hasn't bred complacency. Instead, a hunger marks the 49ers' play, a hunger produced by last year's heartbreak. The pain of falling 5 yards shy of a Super Bowl feast drives this machine.
Or, as linebacker Ahmad Brooks put it: "Last year, we got a taste of what the Super Bowl was like. We had an entree that we didn't get to eat. This time, we want to finish the plate."
The 49ers should avenge their regular-season loss to Carolina on Sunday. This time, they'll have wide receiver Michael Crabtree, and linebacker Aldon Smith figures to play more than 12 snaps. And tight end Vernon Davis and safety Eric Reid presumably won't be knocked out of the game with concussions.
But San Francisco's biggest advantage is the motivation of unfinished business. That wasn't in play when Carolina won 10-9 at Candlestick Park on Nov. 10. The 49ers have been a team on a mission for weeks. And it seems the closer they get to failure, the distress of that gut-wrenching feeling Tasers them into another gear.
That is evident in Colin Kaepernick's execution when defeat becomes tangible. In the defense's refusal to break after bending like a spoon in the Matrix. In the timely holes opened by the offensive line to revive a struggling running game.
Coming so close to winning it all has revived the Super Bowl-or-bust reality of yesteryear.
It's hard to see how this mentality doesn't work in the 49ers' favor. It has fueled them to three straight nail-biting victories. More than that, you have to wonder if Carolina is ready to match such an intensity.
Just 21 of the 53 players on the Panthers' roster have felt the density of postseason sweat, and it's a different beast wrestling with one who has everything to lose.
Carolina -- at home, boasting a stout defense and an increasingly clutch quarterback -- can definitely pull it off. But it's becoming evident the 49ers aren't going to give it away, the Panthers are going to have to take it. There is a difference, and it's not small.
An upstart team, Carolina has the luxury of patience should they go one-and-done. They can chalk it up as a natural part of the development. San Francisco doesn't enjoy such privilege.
"This is it," Davis said. "If we lose this game, we go home. It's simple. It's plain. It's right there, and guys know it. The guys that we have on our team, they're so ... they're just desperate. They're all in it. Especially with what happened to us last year. We got to the Super Bowl and didn't pull it off. Now we know that here is another chance to do it all over again. We must take advantage. We must come through."
The 49ers have won too many postseason games to fall back on development, made it too far for a second-round playoff loss to be acceptable. They're pursuing a ring like Gollum.
They're trying to become the first team since the 1993 Buffalo Bills to return to the Super Bowl after losing the previous year. Only the 1971 Dallas Cowboys and undefeated '72 Miami Dolphins have won a Super Bowl after losing it the previous season. Yet, the 49ers talk about it like it's rightfully theirs. Like fate owes them 5 yards and they plan to collect.
Certainly, the 49ers are in good position. Save for Carlos Rogers' hamstring, they are healthy in all the right places. Key figures who have struggled at times this season seem to be hitting their form at the right time. On top of that, San Francisco has on its side experience and the consuming #QuestForSix.
William Shakespeare said "tempt not a desperate man." The Panthers are about to find out why not. And if they're not ready, this could get ugly.
"It's a do-or-die situation in the postseason," 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "So, if you haven't noticed, we'll do anything to win."

USA, 2012, 108 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Documentary
7pm Wed March 6
Director Nina Davenport In Person
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage. For filmmaker Nina Davenport, that old playground song didn't go as planned. Single at age 41, she decides to have a baby on her own, never minding the odds stacked against her or the extra hurdles of living in New York City. Filming the whole process, she excels at candor and comedy. Think of a real-life Girls, only with more grown-up problems.
Nina has spent over a decade turning her life experiences into cinematic essays, following the path of her mentors, documentarian Ross McElwee (Sherman's March) and Robb Moss (The Same River Twice). Her combined talents as a cinematographer, editor, and storyteller set her apart from the average first-person filmmaker. She develops characters and story arcs better than most Hollywood screenwriters do. In her quest for motherhood, Nina enlists her best friend Amy as a birth partner and her gay friend Eric as a sperm donor. While pregnant, Nina winds up dating the film critic John Anderson in an unusual display of sympathy between a director and a reviewer. The process of baby-making affects all their lives profoundly. Additionally, Nina struggles to cope with the recent death of her mother, who had been a source of strength, and seeks to improve relations with her father, a source of discouragement.
The film taps into the zeitgeist topic of how the modern family is being re-imagined in the early twenty-first century. They say it takes a village to raise a child. In Nina's case, that village is populated by urban sophisticates who have delayed procreation for as long as possible and are late in confronting its joys and chores. Nina is unflinching at exposing her inner and outer self as a case study. She's refreshingly frank and funny about the trials that women endure in order to get pregnant, give birth and manage the early years of parenting. After watching, you'll want to thank your mother. – written by Thom Powers, TIFF

The location is the same, the opponent is the same. And for the St. Mary's High football team, the goal is the same.
Come back with a North Coast Section Division IV championship.
A week after its trip to Arcata was halted because of poor road conditions, the Panthers were back on the road Friday, eager to play for their program's first section crown. Fifth-seeded St. Mary's plays No. 2 Fortuna (10-2) at Humboldt State at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Last week's game was postponed after the Panthers were unable to finish the 275-mile drive north because a storm blanketed Highway 101 with snow in the Willits area.
St. Mary's coach Keith Minor said his team was disappointed it couldn't play last week, but he tried to stay positive.
"You know what? All good things come to those who wait," he said.
It is also business as usual for the Huskies.
"This is for a section championship, and we're pretty dialed in," Fortuna coach Mike Benbow said.
On its way to its first appearance in the finals since 1999, St. Mary's (9-4) defeated Fort Bragg 48-13 in the first round, St. Helena 24-7 in the second round and No. 1 San Marin 35-29 in the semifinals.
In 1999, St. Mary's lost to Foothill in the 2A East Bay championship. But it has been almost as long a drought for Fortuna, which has not played in a section championship game since 2000, when it won the NCS 2A Redwood Empire title.
Minor, who has only seven seniors on his roster, said last week that a turning point this season was a 43-7 loss to El Cerrito on Nov. 2. The next week, St. Mary's routed Pinole Valley 55-14, starting a four-game winning streak in which the Panthers averaged 40.5 points a game. Receiver Liam Godfrey, running back Lorenzo Logwood and quarterback Ian Bonde lead the St. Mary's offense.
"Once we beat Pinole Valley, there was no turning back," said Minor, whose squad's losses have all come against teams that reached NCS championship games this year -- Miramonte in Division II, El Cerrito in Division III and Salesian and Valley Christian in Division V.

MARIETTA - A local chapter of the international Red Hat Society, an organization dedicated to reshaping the way women are viewed in today's culture, is looking for new members.
"We're a group of Christian women who just want to show the world that it's fun to be Christian, but we also want to help women see how appreciated and important they are," said Marietta resident Sherry Ritchie, leader and queen angel of Marietta Angels Rejoice Chapter 85147 of the Red Hat Society.
The local chapter was formed in August by Ritchie, who was soon joined by seven other women, and their numbers are continuing to grow.

Members of Marietta Angels Rejoice Chapter 85147 of the Red Hat Society celebrate with accordion accompaniment during a gathering at the Oak Grove Recreation Center.
"Anybody's welcome," she said. "We're not a church group; we're just women enjoying some fellowship and having a lot of fun."
Age is no problem, either, Ritchie said. Members range from 16 to 64 years old.
Members who are more than 50 years old are called "Red Hatters" and wear the society's signature red hats and purple garb, while those 49 and under wear pink and lavender and are known as "Pink Hatters."
"When a woman turns 50 we celebrate with a 'Reduation Ceremony,'" Ritchie said.
Red Hatter Susan Adams of Fleming said the society uses fun and sometimes just plain "silliness" for a more serious purpose.
"As women grow older, they often don't have a social life that many younger women do," she said. "So this is a chance for those women to get out more and learn how important they really are in the community."
Stockport resident Becky Dellenbaugh puts her talent on the accordion to good use with the local Red Hat Society as she sometimes plays when the group participates in parades throughout the region.
"I met a woman from Columbus recently and somehow we started talking about the Red Hat Society," Dellenbaugh said. "She recalled seeing a group of Red Hatters in a parade in Marietta and one was playing an accordion. I told her that was me."
Teresa Dilworth of Barlow's first experience with the Red Hat Society came through her place of employment.
"I worked in a local nursing home, and Red Hatters would often come and take the residents out to various activities," she said.
Ritchie said that's the kind of outreach she'd like to foster with the Marietta Angels Rejoice group.
"We want to be a light to our community," she said. "At Christmas we plan to go into nursing homes and sing, but we also want to reach out to women living in shelters or those who are homeless - to help meet the needs of women in the surrounding community.
"Women need to know it's OK to be silly at times - just to have a good time. The Bible calls laughter 'good medicine,'" Ritchie said. "But what we want in all seriousness is to help these women. That's the heart of this organization."
She noted the Red Hat Society, headquartered in California, has chapters in more than 80 countries around the globe.
"They just held a big 'Hoot' (convention) in the United Kingdom," Ritchie said. "It's really become a huge society."
Sherry and husband, Rick Ritchie, are pastors with the House Of The Forgiven Church in Oak Grove.
"I was somewhat familiar with the Red Hat Society, and had seen them riding in wagons in local parades," Rick said. "But forming this chapter was her idea."
Sherry said it seemed to be the right thing to do.
"I had this in my heart for about a year," she explained. "I've ministered to women and families who are facing difficult times. And I thought this could make a difference and help bring some peace in the midst of their trials - by just building friendships with other women they can gain strength."
New members are being accepted into the Marietta Angels Rejoice Chapter 85147 of the Red Hat Society.
The next meeting will be a Red Hat Tea at 1 p.m. Feb. 2 at the home of Sherry Ritchie, 103 Circle Drive, Marietta. For more information, contact Ritchie at (740) 629-7735.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Stanford forward Chiney Ogwumike has at least one career achievement that eluded her older sister.
Ogwumike had 21 points and a career-high 19 rebounds Saturday, and Stanford remained undefeated with a 73-60 victory at No. 10 Tennessee, giving the top-ranked Cardinal only its second win in Knoxville in 13 attempts.
Stanford won at Tennessee for the first time since an 82-65 victory on Dec. 15, 1996.
Ogwumike's older sister, Nneka Ogwumike of the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks, scored 42 points in Stanford's 97-80 win over Tennessee last year.
But the No. 1 pick in the most recent WNBA draft never won at Tennessee during her college career.
"One thing Nneka didn't do was get a win here at Tennessee, so I wanted to one-up her," Chiney said. "It was a great game."
Stanford's Amber Orrange scored 14 points. Toni Kokenis and Bonnie Samuelson each added 11 points, and Joslyn Tinkle had 10 points for the Cardinal, which hosts No. 2 Connecticut on Saturday.
"The most important thing now is that we keep improving and stay healthy," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "We've got great leadership and great chemistry. I'm hoping that we'll be playing better in March and April."
Tennessee was seeking its first home win over a top-ranked opponent since a 77-72 victory over Louisiana Tech on Jan. 22, 1996. The Lady Vols are 14-32 against top-ranked opponents, and they are 2-11 when facing No. 1 teams at home.
Tennessee coach Holly Warlick questioned her team's effort after the game and was more disappointed in this performance than she was after a 76-53 loss at No. 3 Baylor on Tuesday.
"This will change," Warlick said. "As coaches, we'll make some changes, too. It's time to grow up."
Bashaara Graves had 15 points and 12 rebounds for Tennessee (7-3). Meighan Simmons added 12 points, while Ariel Massengale and Cierra Burdick had 11 points each.
Stanford (11-0) was coming off a 53-49 squeaker at No. 21 South Carolina on Wednesday, but the Cardinal never trailed Tennessee and owned a double-digit lead most of the way.
Facing a national title contender for the second straight game, the Lady Vols again struggled to make shots.
Tennessee missed its first 11 shots against Baylor to fall behind 17-0 and went on to trail 41-16 at the intermission, its largest halftime deficit in school history.
The Lady Vols shot 31.9 percent against Stanford and missed their first 12 attempts from 3-point range.
Stanford grabbed a 33-21 halftime lead by relying on Ogwumike and capitalizing on Tennessee's cold shooting.
Ogwumike, who entered the game averaging 21.9 points and 12.2 rebounds, had 13 points and 12 rebounds by halftime.

What's Next
What was your reaction when hearing that Ford and Toyota will co-develop a hybrid powertrain system for pickup trucks and SUVs, in addition to collaborating on each other's in-vehicle telematics systems? If you had a knee-jerk response of "Really…._them?," you were in good company. The automakers' fierce rivalry makes them some of the strangest of bedfellows, but while the partnership was unexpected, its motives are unsurprising. Given the new, much more stringent EPA fuel standards announced last month, both companies recognized that they would be more successful coming together in this instance, than going at it alone.
Last week we heard Clive Bloom – Emeritus Professor of English and American Studies at Middlesex University and author of Violent London: 2000 Years of Riots, Rebels and Revolts – _commenting on BBC Radio 4 about the systemic issues that underpinned the devastating riots in London this month. With many now searching for an explanation of the sudden and surprising violence that spread across London and other parts of the UK, Bloom argues that sociological factors – chiefly endemic poverty and the alienation of consumer culture – are the real culprits, and further, that failing to address the fundamental issues and resentments of the communities that spawned the riots will only guarantee their repetition. The point is essential as we face the likelihood of wider and more frequent social disruption in response to economic, social and environmental stresses in the decades ahead.
I am in the United Kingdom presently, spending time with colleagues at SustainAbility's Holborn office in central London. I spent the two weeks immediately prior to this trip on a blissfully quiet vacation with family and friends. Plugging back in, I find myself somewhat reeling trying to comprehend the various forms of volatility which erupted while I was away: in the markets, on the streets of this city and in other urban centers around Britain, and in Libya, where the opposition's final advance into Tripoli proved so rapid as to stun most observers, leaving online media scrambling to post headlines like Qaddafi's Final Hours while such hours still existed…
Water surrounds me, both literally and figuratively.
I am in Stockholm – a city of islands – this week to attend World Water Week, an annual conference sponsored by the Stockholm International Water Institute. I am here at the invitation of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and yesterday facilitated a fascinating workshop WBCSD sponsored on water risk and some of the tools being developed to assess and manage it…
On the heels of the launch of Appetite for Change, our team has spotted a number of developments and received interest in working together to transform our food system. And the overall theme of access to good food remains in the limelight, most recently with…
The past week has been, in many ways, a watershed in post-independent India, with millions of Indians – young and old – taking to the streets in a public demonstration against corruption. The crowds have been unprecedented – I certainly do not remember anything like this since the late 1970s – and has cut across geographies and classes. And the man who has galvanized this is a 74-year old Gandhian called Anna Hazare (pronounced Ha-zaa-ray), a retired army soldier whose public contributions started in his small village in western India but who gradually became a relentless crusader against corruption in public life. Will this be a defining moment in India's democracy? Are there lessons to be learnt, including for corporations in democracies? But I am getting a bit ahead of myself…
In early July, after nearly a year of drafting and several rounds of consultations with business and civil society, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India announced the adoption of the National Voluntary Guidelines for Social, Environmental and Economic Responsibilities of Business…
Energy efficiency is not a sexy topic, so when the U.S. Department of Energy and the Ad Council teamed up in July for a national consumer education campaign that includes messaging like "Save Money, Save Date Night" and viral-bound videos of a couple throwing all their worldly possessions down a cliff to cement the point that wasting energy is like wasting (in spectacular fashion) money, it was at least a refreshing take on an historically dull issue.
Although the concept of social entrepreneurship to many is much more appealing and sexy than mainstream commercial business, we need the power of both to push the field of socially responsible and socially innovative companies forward…
In the first in a series of blogs on economic growth, Kyra Choucroun set out the problems of an economy predicated on infinite economic growth. Here, guest author Ramon Arratia, Sustainability Director at InterfaceFLOR, sets out his vision for how we can begin to challenge established assumptions by decoupling economic growth from environmental impact. (Note: A version of this piece first appeared on InterfaceFLOR's Cut the Fluff blog in June 2011.)
Recently I participated in a very interesting Guardian Sustainable Business debate on decoupling economic growth from environmental impact…
This spring, China's south suffered the worst drought in 50 years, exacerbating the country's status as one of the most water-scarce in the world. While the severity of the drought has resulted in unprecedented shocks to the energy and agriculture sectors (to name just a couple), China's not alone in facing a paradigm shift in how it must manage its water. In fact, it's joining a club of countries that are rethinking and recasting water governance and management.
Here in Washington, the battle in Congress over the raising the debt ceiling dominated headlines, airwaves and the blogosphere for several weeks. Obviously, the debate became about more than just how much the US should borrow to pay its bills. Instead, it was an ideological fight over the appropriate size and role of government in business and in society.
The flip side of the question of what the role of government in business should be is what the role of business in government should be – i.e. what should or shouldn't the corporate sector do to shape policies which affect not only the business community but all of society? Or said another way: what does responsible lobbying look like?
There was a conflict of sorts in my inbox last week.
Wednesday heralded the arrival of the latest Ethical Corporation newsletter, the subject line for which read "Effective environmental activism all but abandoned in the US", and which pointed recipients to an early July post from Peter Knight of Context America suggesting "Environmental groups have all but abandoned a push for better policies in preference for encouraging their supporters to pursue futile personal green efforts, aided and abetted by marketers flogging supposedly green goods."
Surrounding Ethical Corporation's missive? Multiple emails pronouncing the biggest investment in grassroots activism in, well, forever: Michael Bloomberg's $50 million contribution to in the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign.
With the backing of First Lady Michelle Obama and her campaign to end childhood obesity, Walmart announced a plan to open up to 300 new stores over the next five years in U.S. "food deserts", wisely aligning its company's growth plans with the high-profile, publicly-backed initiative. The company, which has reported falling same store sales in each of the past eight quarters, sees urban markets as a critical growth opportunity, and its push into food deserts is an important arrow in its quiver against recalcitrant community members that see only negatives in Walmart's entry.
