If you want full control over your apps, you need Autostarts

Unlike a zillion different process killers, autostarts does NOT manage apps after they start. It simply does not allow them to start if you do not want or need them. For example, maps, gallery and many other Google apps set to start up and run under many conditions, for example, when you start (or stop) charging your phone, or when connectivity changes, etc. In other words under conditions that do not mean that you want these apps. Autostarts gives you control of what apps start when. Problem solved. You got to have rooted phone though. Check out the author's web site, he has other interesting apps: http://elsdoerfer.name/

Professor Emerita of Art History E-mail: email@example.com
My fields are medieval and early Renaissance art. I'm especially interested in narrative painting in late medieval Italy and have published a book on passion narratives and Franciscan ideologies in Italian art. Gender issues also interest me very much, and two of my projects—a study of images of Amazons in crusader manuscripts, and an article on the depiction of Eve at St. Michael's, Hildesheim—address aspects of gender in one way or another. Currently, I'm working on Giotto's Arena Chapel—a project that originated in a course on Dante and Giotto. All of my recent and current work is collaborative. The article on Eve was co-authored by Adam Cohen (University of Toronto); the work on Giotto and the Amazon essay by Mark Sandona (Department of English, Hood College); and the essay on Italy and Byzantium by Amy Neff (University of Tennessee).
Hood College prepares students to excel in meeting the personal, professional and global challenges of the future. Hood is committed to the integration of the liberal arts, the professions and technology, to the exploration of values, a sense of community and to the preparation of students for lives of responsibility, leadership and service.

The campaign has been badly planned by Steven Jpyce and badly run by John Key.
It may now all backfire in gigantic proportions.
Traditional National voters are not happy with the shenanigans and ego's of John key and co - all very childish really
Paul Goldsmith, nicknamed National's "invisible candidate" may finish first in the Epsom electorate, as National and Labour voters unite against ACT.
A street survey of 180 voters run by NZ Herald Online, shows 32% said they would be voting for Mr Goldsmith, with ACT candidate John Banks following close behind at 25% and Labour's David Parker falling behind on just 6%.
John Key has recently been encouraging Epsom voters to support Mr Banks in order to ensure National has a preferred coalition partner, but Mr Goldsmith seems to be taking the lead by keeping a low profile.
Mr Goldsmith was photographed last weekend removing his own campaign billboards from the Epsom electorate after they had been erected without proper authorisation.
However, remaining out of the spotlight has not deterred Epsom residents from showing their support, regardless of National's endorsement of taking on ACT as a possible coalition partner.
Many Labour voters have come to a rare point of agreement with voters for National, saying that they would send their vote to Mr Goldsmith in order to keep ACT out of Parliament.
With just five days left until election day, the Epsom result is far from being set in stone.
You are as arrogant as John Key on this issue.
Rodney Hide first got in with no significant support from National. In fact National were pretty determined not to let Hide win Epsom back in '05. Hide got in because Epsom National voters intrinsically knew what was needed to achieve a centre-right govt. 2011 and what we're seeing is what smacks of voting instructions being given to National supporters, and a much less attractive Act brand. Ironic really that people who ideologically are likely to react most strongly against being told what to do, are being told what to do. Not ironic is that quite a few of those people are reacting against being told what to do. This is the worst of MMP and the reason why people should support a near proportional system involving no party votes: STV.
As an Epsom voter it annoys me that John Key is trying to manipulate this electorate. The whole country would have been better off without the recent cup of tea, in many ways.
I voted Hide/National last time, but the ACT party now is nothing like it was then. This time I am voting Goldsmith/National, because I am very worried about a whacky ACT tail trying to wag a National dog in parliament.
Last time around ACT's bargain included the super city and what other deals for their support? What would it be this time?
Please consider the cost and vote against Banks on Saturday.
A vote for John Banks is effectively a vote for a 'white collar' criminal who has yet to be charged or convicted, in my considered opinion.
Dr Brash (ex-Leader of the National Party - now Leader of the ACT Party/ National "B" Team, has a PhD in Hypocrisy, as has ex-National Government Minister of Police /Local Government - now ACT candidate for Epsom John Banks.
For both of them - ACT's 'ONE LAW FOR ALL' obviously doesn't apply to them - or they would have equally been charged along with former fellow Director of Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, Peter Huljich, for signing Registered Prospectuses for Huljich Kiwisaver Schemes which contained untrue statements.
Banks and Brash want to help run NZ - and they couldn't properly run a Hulich Kiwisaver Scheme?
How commercially competent are they???
FYI - tmorrow night there will be a public meeting in Parnell where Epsom candidates will be speaking.
WHEN: 7pm Tuesday 22 November 2011
WHERE: Jubilee Building
545 Parnell Rd
This Epsom candidates meeting I have been invited to attend (unlike the meeting held last Thursday).
ipredict it will be a rather lively event..............
Penny Bright
Independent candidate for Epsom
Campaigning against CRIME, 'white collar' CORRUPTION (and its root cause - PRIVATISATION) and 'CORPORATE WELFARE'
It surely is plain - if National gets an outright majority, what happens in Epsom is irrelevant. If National doesn't then Act's survival is crucial to keeping out a leftist (no "centre" about it) government which has no t the slightest clue of how to cope with the coming economic storm.
Voters of Epsom: put aside your irritation at the appalling stage manageemnt of the "cup of tea" and do what is right for the country!
It just makes sick that people, in particular Nats, try to tell other how to vote. You only have control to your OWN vote, not others'. Stop trying to be smart and Do realise that Nat's and Act's policies leave so many poor NZers behind. This is not just about balancing the books, "Can we have a brighter future?" I don't think selling assets and offshore oil drilling help us move forward. JK clearly has been aa big talker than doer.
The people of NZ are now desperately relying on the Epsom vote to keep the influence of ACT in parliament and on National.
John Key alone has not proved to be the maker of bold decisive changes that NZ needs. We must have some of the ACT direction to stop further stagnation of NZ.
We NEED ACT to save us from the absurdities of an about-to-double ETS.
See the keynote policy speech at: www.voxy.co.nz/politics/speech-shooting-ourselves-wallet-don-brash/5/108279
We NEED ACT - YEAH RIGHT - like a hole in the head. Act is sick within itself. Better it be put down this election and contaminate the electoral scene any more. Over the past three years Act have spent more time (and taxpayer money) on their own issues rather than contributing in any meaningful way to improving te lot of NZers.
Given the relelations from "teagate" about rolling Don Brash after the elections suggests the sickness will contaminate the next parliament. No thanks - I think the Epsom voters have a responsibility to end the madness on Saturday
One of the major issues barely mentioned in the election debate is the massive growth in government. The tax take has moved from a $40 billion take to $70 billion in 5 or 6 years.
The labour election bribes of working for families and interest free student loans in 2005 are a part of this never ending hunger for someone elses money.
We have to have gutsy, bold policy changes to turn back such programmes. Rolling back the ETS modest changes to super, competition to ACC, drinking and voting age back to 20years, etc etc etc will only come through ACT party influence.
NZ is absolutely relying on the people of Epsom to vote accordingly with the big picture in mind.
In response to: Penny Bright | Monday, November 21, 2011 - 5:55pm
The people have spoken Penny and they want nothing to do with you (again).
Whilst with Key the future will be brighter it's not Bright...it's Right.

For the most part, the Daniel Craig-era of Bond has left behind many of the franchise's most familiar tropes; aside from Judi Dench as MI6 head honcho M, and the CIA agent Felix Leiter played by Jeffrey Wright, it's a been a fresh start: no Q, no Blofeld, no SPECTRE, no gadgets. It worked out nicely in "Casino Royale," not so well in "Quantum of Solace," and now it appears that at least one classic Ian Fleming-created character is going to appear in the latest, Sam Mendes-directed entry in the series, currently known only as "Bond 23."
It's been rumored for some weeks now that actress Naomie Harris, who came to fame in Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later" before going on to "Miami Vice" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and its sequel, was circling a role in Mendes' film, and the actress confirmed that discussions had taken place. Now, Baz Bamigboye reports that Harris is in the very final stages of talks, and that she'll be playing a familiar figure: Moneypenny, M's assistant at MI6, who's flirted with Bond across twenty separate films.
Lois Maxwell, Caroline Bliss and Samantha Bond have all officially played Moneypenny over the years (with Barbara Bouchet and Pamela Salem taking the mantle on in unofficial Bond flicks, 1967's "Casino Royale" and 1983's "Never Say Never Again"), but Harris is certainly a strong choice -- indeed, we hope that casting such a terrific actress means that the character will have more to do than sit behind a desk and drop innuendo. Considering that the character tends to span multiple films, it's likely that Harris will be tied to a multi-film contract: perhaps the reason negotiations have been so protracted.
Bamigboye also suggests that the film has locked two other top actors in: both Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes were said to be circling parts earlier in the year, Bardem confirming that his was the villain, and Fiennes' said to be "darkly complex," and Bamigboye suggests that the pair are both officially set. It presumably helps matters that Bardem's other big-budget suitor, "The Dark Tower," collapsed, as there likely would have been a scheduling conflict. All in all, things are shaping up nicely here: it's certainly the starriest, most credible Bond flick in years. We'll find out if Mendes can handle the thrills as well as the actors when the film, which will shoot later in the year, hits theaters on November 9th, 2012.

Ben Bernanke and U.S. corporate earnings will take the spotlight for a second day, as traders await more insight on the direction of U.S. monetary policy and the health of the balance sheets of some of the largest blue chip companies.
The Federal Reserve chairman will be testifying for a second day in front of Congress, and investors will be watching carefully to see if he makes any shifts away from his rather dovish comments on Wednesday, when he suggested the tapering of bond purchases will be closely tied to economic conditions.
Key to determining how well the economy is faring will be the health of the nation's employment levels. U.S. initial jobless claims for last week, released this morning, suggested the jobs market is definitely showing progress, with new claims falling to their lowest level in two months.
On the earnings front, some 32 stocks in the S&P 500 are reporting results today. So far, second-quarter results have been close to how the first-quarter turned out, with 71 per cent topping analysts' profit estimates but only 57 per cent beating on sales, according to Bloomberg data.
Markets aren't doing much so far this morning, although U.S. stock futures ticked a little higher after the stronger-than-expected U.S. jobless claims figures were released. The Japanese market was a bright spot overnight, with the Nikkei rallying 1.3 per cent as the yen slid about 0.5 per cent against the U.S. dollar to 100.09 (U.S.). Aiding the yen's move was comments from Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak, who said G-20 members, who meet this weekend, are unlikely to call for a tapering of stimulus in nations including Japan.
Now, here's a closer look at what's going on and what's to come later today.

Category: Social Justice, Truth and Pluralism, Scripture Engagement
Here is a question I am grappling with in two very specific health contexts, but which I think has a wider mission implication.
In many societies the status of women in very low, and very often this is either partially or primarily down to religious beliefs promulgated by the dominant faith - be it Christianity (of many forms), Islam, Hinudism, tribal religions, etc. Practices sucha s female genital multilation (not sanctioned in any relgion by the way, but incorporated into folk religious practices), sequestration of pregnant women (limiting or removing their access to healthcare), and the unwillingess to spend money on the health needs of women mean that many women die in childbirth, are at significantly greater risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted illnesses, and face a whole host of health risks and problems that are almsot always preventable or at least open to amelioration.
The approach of Westerners is to start thinking in terms of our own cultural approaches to these issues, based on our own, largely individualistic and rights based values (be they secular or Christian values). What we are learning is that you can address these issues by recourse to scripture - and winning over leaders at every level - Patriachs, Bishops, local clergy and ministers, theologians, etc. These are the people who will shape practice and values in the community, open doorways, etc. The Bibole is replte with postivie images of the role of woemn, with child brth narratives, as well as more negative images and stories (whic are the ones most often used to shore up belfiefs and practics that marginalsie women).
The real challenge is to do this with full respect of local traditions and ways of discussing theological issues and the use of scripture.
Has anyone else experience on the ground of doing this? I am hearing examples although I am not too confident in sharing them as I do not have all the facts at my fingertips. And while I can see the immediate application to women's health and HIV prevention, I am sure that there are other areas where we can use such approaches to bring transformation by re-discovering truths in scripture and tradition (and indeed, in an openess to the Holy SPirit to bring new understanding to all involved).
Keywords: health, medical mission, influencing change, religious leaders, scripture, Bible
I think these comments are really helpful. In addition to a biblical and a cultural perspective, The Christian Wholeness Framework highlights the need not only for the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world – but also to the whole person... And in looking at the person, particularly through 3 different colour lenses – age, gender and culture. Thus you can get probably at least 9 varieties of colour (ranging from a 70-year-old Chinese lady to a 12-year-old boy from say Brazil). Thus in looking at the issue of gender, I think that there is a real need to indeed include the biblical and the cultural aspects which LAusanne is so good at – but I think there is a need to have a greater understanding of the whole person – men and women alike. I think when that happens to be a greater capacity for the church to be able to address these issues of gender bias.
Unfortunately, the response worldwide has been far too slow to provide the care and support that women need. In many countries woman suffer and are treated as though they are second class citizens simply because they were born as women. The church has played its part in the degradation of women, and should work harder to right the ship and bestow upon them all that God wishes for them to have. They deserve equality, and access to the same things that men are privy to. The church should be actively involved in pushing their elected leaders to provide care to women abroad, and help give them access to medical care.
Thanks for the comments John - you hit the nail on the head. Respect, listening and that much abused and overused word, 'partnership'.
Trouble is we are being naive if we forget there is a fundamental power imbalance between us coming is rich westerners with the control of funding purse strings, which means partnerships are not necessarily equal, even if we want them to be, and respect is tainted by anxieties about what will be acceptable to funders (be they large faith based NGOs, churches or denominations).
Steve, you're so right in your concerns (your focus on the "low" in status), and strategy (winning over church leaders of influence). I wonder if you also allude to the answers?: 1. Not imposing our approaches, because 2. There is respect for them... their Theology and traditions, (I would also add them as people). This is enhanced by UNDERSTANDING the leaders themselves... as whole people... spirit, soul, mind, body, social. This understanding has to be based on 3: connection, ... and connection happens best when there is s.a.f.e.t.y.!...when the S.ize of the number of people involved is smaller (2 is better than 6 to 12 which is better than a large group), when the A.ttitudes are ones of love, and as you mentioned, respect and choice (as opposed to imposing, as you said), when there is a reality and openness in the connection... F.acing the issues, as opposed to f.aking, or maybe f.leeing from them! E.mpathy, getting inside their skin is critical to connection, as is T.ime spent together, asking , in a reciprocal way Y.ou? , where are You at?. Thus, connection is spelt "s.a.f.e.t.y."... and I hope and pray we can have a lot of C.onnecting with each other at Cape Town, so that we can U.nderstand better, that we may then be more able to influence the key people, as you are so rightly allude to. Thanks for your conversation, johnwarlow ("pom"in OZ!... in other words from the UK but living in Australia?)

We all need a day to ourselves. Maybe we're frazzled out from work, weighed down with responsibilities for friends and family, or maybe we just partied a little too hard last weekend (ahem…cough, cough – like I did last night with my darling 😉 ). Whatever it is, sometimes we need to stop, tell everyone else to back off and get some me-time to pamper ourselves.
So, here's my detox plan for today. This plan is going into action as soon as I finish writing this.
Step 1 – Water – Add slices of orange, lemon and cucumber to your water pitcher for a refreshing yummy "spa drink." you can even use these Cucumber Slices as an Eye Soother. You can also add few strawberries. Feeling sneaky? Create your own Hair Mask and slap some on your chaotic head.
Step 2 – Relaxing Music. (Get Good Mood in Minutes) Maybe it's Beethoven or beach/wind sound combination. Or it could be the sounds of whales mating with harpsichords in the background, whatever you like.
Step 3 – Lock yourself in the bathroom, get your fluffy robe ready and light some scented candles.
Step 4 – Draw a hot bath with some bath salts. I really like the one which contains the natural mineral blend of lavender, chamomile, St. John's Wort, valerian and hops to relax and detox my body. It also has some essential oils but not too much – so I would recommend it, doesn't matter whatever skin you have.
Step 5 – Put some scented body wash on a pouf or loofah to scrub away dead skin and clean up your body. There are a tons of good body washes out there. You can use a gel to scrub while you're sitting the bath and it will add some more bubbles to your bath.
Step 6 – Do some OMs if you want or you can chant some relaxing mantras of your choice to put your mind and body in a relaxing posture.
Step 7 – Wipe off and rub on some body oil/lotions. Currently I own Vaseline Healthy white with SPF 24 and Johnson's Dreamy Skin Body Lotion (with relaxing Aromasoothe essence) you can slather it on everywhere – it won't clog pores. But I wouldn't put it on my face beacuse I have sensitive facial skin. There are some other great ways to get the perfect soft skin so I think it would be fine for dry facial skin. You can also use regular body lotion of your choice, or the best option to go Organic is Use the few drops of olive oil for a deep moisture. Whichever kind you use, putting it on when your skin is slightly damp means your skin will absorb more moisture.
Step 8 – Slap on some deep moisturizer on your face. Even if you have oily skin like me, still you need moisture. I like to use a gel moisturizers but these days I am Obsessed with Lacto Calamine (The Purple bottle for oily skin) to give some moisture to my face. I decided to use the Lacto calamine coz i think the glycerin will provide the moisture as well as the clay will create the balance from making my skin look too oily. It's sometime creates a pretty heavy white layer on my skin coz of the clay, so I would recommend to use very small amount. I see it as a special treatment for my skin. If I lived in a cold, windy climate, I would use this every day. But, I live in sunny atmosphere so- don't be jealous. Lacto calamine is purported to help exfoliating dead skin cells, removes access oil, reduce acne and it also helps to clear dark spots and blemishes.
Step 9 – Do some yoga stretches, take a nap, shave your legs, paint your nails, read a magazine, watch some trashy TV, sweet talk with someone while giving you a massage, or my favourite – all of the above 😉
Why don't you wear something sexy and spray some Fragrance Body Mist to seduce your love like I do!

back in February I took a little trip to Harris and took a few photos along the way, Patsy at Wildsherkin saw this photo and asked if she could use it as inspiration for a painting,
a few weeks ago she posted the finished pastel painting of the Clisham mountains, you can click through and read her post here,
Monday a beautiful print of the painting arrived at my house, I love it, it's so beautiful,
whenever I go to Harris I know where on the journey this view is and always have camera at the ready as it is one of my favourite views, also when I lived on Scalpay, Harris, this was part of the view from my house, in the distance though not up close as when on the Tarbert – Stornoway road, I used to think one day I would walk the path to the mountain but never have, now I have the view in my home to see every day, thank you so much Patsy x

A Looong Way From Coney Island
From the Windy City to the Big Easy, where to find gourmet wieners that give the artisanal burger a run for its bun
Build some frank-finding detours into your summer road trips this year. Across the country, epicurean versions of the humble hot dog are drawing culinary laurels—not to mention long lines. The hot dog's rise can be attributed to a perfect storm of gastronomical trends: the beer garden and food truck crazes, the enduring passion for all things pig and the culinary world's insistence on putting artisanal spins on common fare.
The new wiener circle broadens the term "hot dog" to include sausages made with grass-fed beef, ground rib-eye, heritage pig and game like rabbit and duck. And besides Lazy Susans full of ketchup and mustard, toppings for the new dogs include exotics like avocado-bacon aioli, mango-curry, seaweed flakes, homemade pickles and Cabernet reductions. Best of all might be the prices: Under $10 apiece. In time for summer's dog days, we went on a regional bun run, revisiting the frank stands of the Babe Ruth days and popping in on spots with new tricks up their mustard-stained sleeves. Here are a few to dig.
Los Angeles
OLD DOGS: The city's signature hot dog is wrapped in bacon—and its most famous purveyor is Pink's chili-and-cheese wiener stand, open since 1939. (709 N. La Brea Ave., pinkshollywood.com) Manhattan's famously cheap and skin-popping Papaya King Hollywood chain debuted its first local grilled hot dog and fruit-juice outpost in May with the slogan, "We're 100% natural. But we think we'll fit in L.A. just fine." They do. (1645 Wilcox Ave., papayaking.com)
NEW TRICKS: Let's Be Frank, owned by former Chez Panisse cook Sue Moore, ups the ante with organic, grass-fed, sustainably raised meat—from bratwurst to Berkshire pork. Don't miss the sauces Ms. Moore mixes up each week—or the organic sauerkraut. (Helmes Avenue, between Venice and Washington boulevards; Twitter @letsbefrank, for food-truck locations) But the hottest dog in town is the arty district's Wurstküche Restaurant, which serves up exotic sausages. There's buffalo, beef and pork with chipotle peppers; a juicy duck and bacon number with jalapeños; even a hickory-smoked gator. Regional specialties from spots like Austin and Santa Fe are also to be had, with surprising toppings and fillers like mangos, green chilies, apple chunks and cilantro. (800 E. Third St., wurstkucherestaurant.com)
Tampa Bay
OLD DOG: Since 1973, Mel's Hot Dogs(4136 E. Busch Blvd., melshotdogs.com)has owned the franks turf here. Mel's is famous for its naturally encased wieners on poppy-seed buns, and it's a North Tampa tradition for families and USF students to fight over the picnic tables. The corn dog—dipped in whole-grain, stone-ground meal—seems almost healthy.
NEW TRICKS:Hot Willy's(1604 N. 17th St., hotwillys.com), a vibrant butcher-market stand, opened this year in Tampa's Ybor City to instant lines. The patio-boasting spot serves Sabrett frankfurters ($3.50 a piece), as well as charbroiled Polish sausage, andouille links and Wisconsin brats. The owners haven't neglected the Cuban neighborhood's roots: The Ybor Dog is slathered with fresh black beans and chopped onions.
New Orleans
OLD DOG: Lucky Dogs carts—shaped like giant hot dogs on wheels—gained literary infamy when writer John Kennedy Toole made them colorful props in his comic romp, "A Confederacy of Dunces." Today, the French Quarter stands, which hawk standard-issue boiled frankfurters still draw tourists in droves. Go figure.
NEW TRICKS: Given the Crescent City's obsession with cochon, it's surprising it took so long for a spot like Dat Dog to come along. Opened in early spring on a gentrifying Uptown street by a former assistant U.S. attorney (whose family helms Galatoire's), and a veteran of wiener stands and Big Easy kitchens, Dat Dog is such a hit that it's already moving to a larger space across the street. The German wieners and sausages are cradled in open-faced, grill-marked rolls, and are a feat to finish. Indigenous flavors include Louisiana smoked sausage, and alligator- and crawfish-stuffed dogs, all made in various "parishes," "bayous" and "swamp" regions. (The veggie dog originates in the fictional town of "Oxymoron.") Homemade toppings include Creole tomatoes, roux-y chili, wasabi, guacamole and a rich, chunky andouille sauce. (5031 Freret St., datdognola.com)
The spanking new Tru Burger (8115 Oak St., 504-218-5416)—a no-frills grill near the Riverbend—had a full house as soon as it opened, thanks to the culinary rep of its chefs-owners (of Patois fame). Tru Burger grinds its own meats and serves Zweigle's franks from Rochester, N.Y. They've also concocted a secret "Tru" sauce already being raved about on foodie websites. You would be remiss to overlook Donald Link's Cochon Butcher, which grinds out some mean wieners, and everything else from scratch, including the buns (order the pimento cheese topping). (30 Tchoupitoulas St., cochonbutcher.com)
New York City
OLD DOG: The circa-1888 Katz's Delicatessen (205 E. Houston St., katzsdelicatessen.com) is a living testament to the immigrants who brought their wiener-and-franks savvy to Manhattan's Lower East Side at the turn of the 20th century.
The corner deli still serves its natural-casing, all-beef hot dogs for $3.35, alongside its more famous pastrami on rye. Then there's the original, neon-lit Nathan's Famous (1310 Surf Ave., nathansfamous.com) hot-dog stand, a block from Brooklyn's Coney Island boardwalk.
NEW TRICKS: The offerings at tiny Asiadog are far from traditional, but they blend with its North Little Italy-meets-Chinatown location
Organic chicken, beef and veggie dogs are topped with Japanese curry and homemade kimchi apples (the Ito) or kimchi and seaweed flakes (the Ginny). A Vietnamese-style dog is heaped with pâté, cucumbers and pickled carrots, and slathered in aioli. (66 Kenmare St. asiadognyc.com).
At the new Williamsburg, Brooklyn, outpost of the East Village's Crif Dogs, devotees can wrap their meat hooks around signature corn dogs and New Jersey-style deep-fried dogs. Crif also makes a popular bacon-wrapped wiener. The mouthwatering toppings include pineapple and avocado. (113 St. Marks Place; 555 Driggs Ave., crifdogs.com)
OLD DOG: It's been said that the Windy City has more hot-dog stands than BKs, KFCs and Mickey Ds combined, which goes some way toward explaining why frankfurter vendors around the country offer up "Chicago-style" dogs. A traditional Chi-Town frank is all-beef, served in a poppy-seed bun and topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, tomato wedges, kosher dill spears, celery salt and "neon relish." Classic stands include The Wiener's Circle (2622 N. Clark St. wienercircle.net), Portillo's(100 W. Ontario St., portillos.com), Hot Doug's (3324 N. California Ave., hotdougs.com) and the ex-con-hiring Felony Franks (229 S. Western Ave., felonyfranks.com).
NEW TRICKS: The Chicago-style defier Westminster Hot Dog opened last winter in a small storefront on the Loop and got big—fast. The luncheonette hand-grinds its gourmet sausages, the most unusual of them made of bison, elk, venison or boar. More populist hits include the Wisconsin cheddar-apple, the spicy Italian (with sun-dried tomato pesto) and the Polish sausage made from a four-generations-old recipe. (11 N. Wells, westminsterhotdog.com)
More wacky and wonderful destinations for indulging a love of dogs this summer
In the curiously wiener-friendly Huntington, W.Va., the Seventh Annual West Virginia Hot Dog Festival (wvhotdogfestival.com) is scheduled to kick off July 30, with a hot-dog-eating contest, wiener dog (Dachshund) race and a homemade-sauce competition.
Farther north, theLoon Hot Dog Festival (loonmtn.com) is held each year in the ski-resort town of Lincoln, N.H. While gondola rides and bungee jumping are part of the amusements, neither sound especially compatible with dog downing. We recommend staying on the ground and sampling the Table of Fabulous Toppings. The lunch bell rings Aug. 6.
Out west, the Three Rivers Historical Society is hosting its annual Hot Dog Festival (3rmuseum.org) on July 16, in this picturesque town located on the Kaweah River, known as "the gateway to Sequoia National Park." You're at the gateway of Eden, who cares what they're shilling?
The July 4th International Hot Dog Eating Contest sponsored by Nathan's Famous takes place at its flagship location in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Since 1916, when Nathan Handwerker opened the boardwalk-saddling spot, as many as 40,000 onlookers have come to witness the gorge-fest annually. Last year, three-time defending champ Joey "Jaws" Chestnut successfully defended his title by consuming 54 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. (If you're grilling dogs at home, catch the action on ESPN.)
Head for Toledo, Ohio, and check out the walls of Tony Packo's (1902 Front St., 419-691-6054), which are lined with more than 1,500 preserved hot dog buns, all signed by famous people (Burt Reynolds, anyone?). And if you liked the TV show "M*A*S*H," you'll be in rerun heaven with Tony's memorabilia decor. The cross-dressing "Klinger" gave the place his seal of approval on a nostalgic episode. But sausage and chili on rye, also known as the "Hungarian hot dog," is why to really go.
Meanwhile, hot-dog fetishists can hope for a memorial building where they can relish all things frankfurters. Foodie blog The Hot Dog Hall of Fame (thehotdoghalloffame.com), whose founders claim they've amassed a collection of "several thousand pieces of hot dog art" and are building a "Lamborweenie" hot-rod, have leaked to dozens that they're raising funds to open a permanent home for their recipes and collectibles. With a reported seven billion hot dogs eaten yearly, we say: "Yes they can."
(This article has been corrected. It initially said Hot Doug's in Chicago was on North Carolina Avenue; it is on North California Avenue.)

A couple of weeks ago I got a new frame for my road bike and switched all of the parts from my old frame to the new one. While I was at it, I put on a new chain and cassette. Everything works perfectly except for one thing: I have a mysterious problem with my rear derailleur/cassette/lordknowswhat. These same exact parts were working perfectly on my old frame (except for the new chain and cassette, of course). I am using a 9 speed sram chain with a 9 speed campagnolo cassette (the same combination I've used for several years without a problem).
Here's what's going on: It makes a clicky/grindy sound when I pedal, and the rear shifting is slow and loud. The sound is coming from the area of the cassette, and it is louder and the shifting is slower in the smaller cogs and when I am pedaling hard.
Here's what I have done so far: I have adjusted the derailleur so that it shifted almost perfectly while it was in the stand. On the test ride it shifted poorly. I must have spent 30 minutes riding up and down my street and making small adjustments to try to get it to shift right. Needless to say, the issue persisted. I went down to my LBS to see if they knew what was wrong. They adjusted the derailleur again and had the same issue I had: on the test ride it just wouldn't shift right. Two different people at the shop worked on it. I finally got it adjusted to where it's pretty functional, but its still annoying.
Here's what I'm wondering: could this be a dropout alignment issue? If it is, it is not so misaligned that it's obvious when you look at it. What else could it possibly be?

If you need to replace your Safelink phone because the buttons are to small for you to see or you lost your phone and can't bare to wait 5 to 7 days for Safelink to send you a replacement, you can either go to Wal-mart or go online to tracfone.com and pick up a entry to mid level Tracfone. (entry level phones would be basic flip phones, mid-level phones would be phones with a QWERTY keyboard)
So after you get your new phone home. If you have access to a computer go online and setup an account (if you haven't already) at tracfone.com we'll get back to that later.
Here is where you will need lots of patience call Safelink wireless at
1~800~378~1684 be very calm you may want to do this when you have extra time because it may take between 30 mins if your lucky, to a hour. Tell the customer service rep that you damaged your phone. (it fell in the toilet,your dog ate it whatever) And you have a replacement phone and you would like to activate the CSR will ask you a few questions to make sure you are who you say you are.They may ask you would you like a new number or do you want to keep your old number, that choice is yours to make.Then they will ask you about your new phone (IMEI # also called serial #, SIM #) so have both your new phone and your old phone handy. The CSR will give you a ticket number write it down.They will have you enter in a string of numbers on your new phone.Wait a few minutes and your minutes from your old phone should transfer to your new phone. Make sure that you tell them to transfer your mins and your service days to the new phone. After about a hour or so if you haven't received your mins or service days go online to tracfone.com and sign into your account follow the steps to add your new phone to your account. On the tracfone website you will be able to check the status of your number transfer by going to service and support and in the drop down menu go to technical support go to check status of ticket and enter your ticket number. It should tell you the status of your number transfer. If it has a error message go back to technical support and enter in your new phones serial number and it will walk you though the steps to program your phone. At this point your minutes will come directly to your new phone. I'm not sure why you cant just activate the safelink phone online, I tried it and it didn't work I had to call safelink first and then I was able to finish my activation online.
My personal experience with my Safelink upgrade: I thought I would be able to do a number transfer online but it didn't let me I had to call safelink. After about a hour and a half my new phone still wasn't activated so I went online to tracfone.com and was able to finish my activation on the tracfone website. I did have a few problems like my service days wasn't transferred over so I had to make a few more calls to safelink to get my service days. Another thing that happened to me was I wasn't able to setup my voicemail, I'm still not sure what the problem was with that but again I had to make another call to safelink to fix that issue also I didnt receive my mins on the 1st of the month like I always do, I had to once again call CS to fix that matter. My advice is if your going to upgrade or replace your phone do it during a time that your not busy, be calm and don't get upset if you cant understand the CSR for any reason just hang up and call back remember patience is the key.

I have a series of xml files that looks something like this:
<F P=100> Some text here </F>
<F P=101> More text </F>
I'm trying to parse the xml using the standard DOM way, but because the attribute values for
P are not in quotes, Java complains.
I tried using JTidy to clean it up, but because my xml isn't HTML, Tidy throws errors complaining that it doesn't recognize the tags
<ROOT> and
<F> etc.
So, is there another way to do this? Alternatively, I guess I could use regex since the only attributes without quotes occur in the
<F> tags. Any thoughts on either?
Thanks in advance

What is the purpose of having recirc fans ?

Potter @ NASCAR
Posted By etnies, Skip To The Comments (3)
Feb 26 2008 / Tuesday
Todd Potter was out at the NASCAR races over the weekend for some FMX demos with Mulisha teammates Jimmy Fitzpatrick and Ryan Hagy. Unfortunately the Sunday shows were rained out. But Saturday the shows went off without a hitch and Potter was going nuts on Shane Trittler's new ramp-to-ramp setup. The take off ramp is 3 feet wider and the landing ramp is 7 feet wider than the old setup, making it much easier for Potter to throw bigger tricks as wells as his upside down whips as seen below!
The crowd was huge!
Here are a few more shots of TP from the event...

I'm looking for a theme or plugin (free or paid) for WordPress to create a job board site.
I've read this question: Creating a job board using WordPress (for free)?
But I need two (or three) features that do not appear in the suggestions from the previous question:
- custom fields to job posters, like "salary:"
- custom comment fields to use like answers from the job seekers or candidates
- a page for candidates with their portfolio or resume
Thanks ;)

College aid ban fill fails
(Des Moines)--A bill that would ban state aid for students attending a for-profit college in Iowa has failed to advance in the legislature. Senator Randy Feenstra, a Republican from Hull, introduced the bill -- arguing the four-point-five ($4.5) million dollars would be better spent on students attend non-profit schools.
"These colleges are making from twelve-point-five ($12.5) million to 68 million dollars a year. I look at it and say does the state really need to participate in giving scholarships then to these colleges," Feenstra says,"I'd rather see that profit center go down a bit and help the students." He says when the schools should figure the grants into their budget.
"I just think if you're in it for profit then you should also have your own tuition grants for your own students and not have taxpayer money funding these programs," Feenstra says. A lobbyist for Kaplan University says they're already required to provide a 77-percent match for any student tuition grants provided by the state. Mike Heller says the for-profit university spent nearly eight million dollars on tuition assistance in the last two years.
"Our typical student's older, many are single parents. We have a very high degree of Pell grant eligibility; they're in high financial need," Heller says."We try to work with them to get them into programs and over 90-percent of them stay in Iowa upon graduation." Feenstra's bill was unpopular with the two Democrats necessary to move the measure forward. Cedar Rapids Senator Rob Hogg says a student should be eligible for state assistance no matter which school they choose to attend.
"We provide that Iowa tuition grant for students in Iowa, it's to help the students. It has not been not picking and choosing between types of private colleges," Hogg. Fellow Democrat Bob Dvorsky of Iowa City shared Hogg's view and also declined to support the bill. (News report by Radio Iowa)
More money needed to keep water project on tap
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) South Dakota's senators pledged to find more money for the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System above the amount spelled out in the president's proposed 2012 budget.
Project officials say the $493,000 in the budget won't even cover administrative costs for a project that's partially complete and has received as much as $27 million in some years.
The project will pipe treated Missouri River water from near Vermillion to more than 300,000 people in South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.
Republican Sen. John Thune said Wednesday that the Obama administration should be committed to finishing projects that are under way.
Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson described the outlook as ``grim'' and said it illustrates the value of earmarks in the congressional budgeting process.

Jobs tour begins next week
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds will promote their job creation plan during town hall meetings in Iowa communities next week.
Branstad and Reynolds will launch their ``Jobs for Iowa'' tour Monday with stops in Mason City and Charles City. On Tuesday the pair will visit West Des Moines and Johnston.
Branstad wants to cut corporate income taxes in half; reduce commercial property taxes from 100 percent to 60 percent of value; transform the Iowa Department of Economic Development into a new public-private partnership; have a limit of four years on rules and regulations to determine their effectiveness; and have a jobs impact statement with every new economic growth proposal.
Branstad says he will meet and network with Iowans over the next three weeks to discuss his plans.
House approves local school board flexibility
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The House has approved a ``home rule'' measure giving local school boards new flexibility to set policy within their district.
Local school boards deal with their own budget and levy taxes. But policy issues are largely set on a statewide basis by the state's Department of Education or Legislature.
The local boards had pushed lawmakers for the measure approved Wednesday. They say they want to be free to experiment and try innovative ideas, but must deal with a balky education bureaucracy to get approval.
The House approved the measure on a 64-30 vote, sending it to the Senate.
Some critics worry that giving local boards new flexibility to set policies within the district could lead to them imposing new fees and charges on students and their parents.
Senate approves bill to increase school aid
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Senate has voted to allow a 2 percent increase in state and local funding for schools in the coming fiscal year.
The bill was approved 26-24 Wednesday evening along party lines. It applies to state and local funding to schools for the budget year beginning July 1, 2011.
The Republican-controlled Iowa House has already approved a measure with no increase in funding to schools. Democrats, who narrowly control the Senate, say they will insist on the 2 percent increase.
The Senate also approved 26-24 along party lines a bill allowing a 2 percent increase for funding to programs for teacher salaries and professional development.
Iowa House OK's 20 percent income tax cut
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa House has approved a measure slashing the state's individual income tax rates by 20 percent.
Lawmakers approved the measure Wednesday on a 63 to 33 vote after supporters argued a tax cut would spark Iowa's economy by putting more money in the pockets of consumers.
Opponents warned that the cut would cost the state more than $700 million annually in tax revenue, reducing money available for essential state programs and services.
Minn. filmmaker pleads guilty in Iowa fraud trial
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) A Minnesota filmmaker made a surprise guilty plea during a trial over her role in an alleged scheme to misuse tax credits aimed at encouraging more movies to be shot in Iowa.
A spokesman for the Iowa attorney general's office says 45-year-old Wendy Weiner Runge of St. Louis Park, Minn., pleaded guilty Wednesday. The first-degree fraudulent practices charge is a felony that carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
Runge had been charged with five felonies.
Her trial in Polk County District Court was the first over allegations that she and other movie makers inflated values on applications for tax credits for the filming of a science-fiction movie called ``The Scientist.''
Runge has agreed to cooperate with the state, including testifying in future cases, and will be sentenced later. Trials are pending against four others.
Iowa Human Services agency head warns of layoffs
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The head of the Department of Human Services is warning workers at the agency that he likely will have to cut 252 jobs due to budget cuts.
Chuck Palmer told workers that about half of those cuts would come from layoffs, and half from not filling vacant positions.
In an e-mail to employees, Palmer pointed to projections for next year showing the agency can support 4,777 jobs. That's 5 percent fewer than the current 5,029 jobs. He said it's inevitable that services delivered by the agency will be affected.
The projection was made under spending proposals offered by Gov. Terry Branstad. Palmer notes that some lawmakers want to cut more and that he's working to head off even deeper cuts.
Cedar Rapids fire chief resigns
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Cedar Rapids' fire chief has resigned after nine months on the job.
KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids says Stephen Reid says he was retiring on Wednesday, effective at the end of the day. Reid was hired as fire chief last April and took over the department in May.
City Manager Jeff Pomeranz says he received Reid's resignation, and says that Reid just wanted to retire.
An interim fire chief will be named while a search for a new chief is under way.
Iowa adds `most wanted' to sex offender website
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Iowa's sex offender website now has a ``Most Wanted'' page.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety on Wednesday says the state's non-compliant sex offenders are easier to identify with a page devoted to them on the Sex Offender Registry site.
Department spokeswoman Jessica Lown told The Des Moines Register that those on the most wanted list will have been in non-compliance with requirements for at least 60 days. A warrant will be on file for their arrest in Iowa. Each will be an offender who is required to check in with their local sheriff's office every three months.
The list will have names, information and photographs of 20 to 30 offenders at any one time.
Iowa school bus accident sends 24 to hospital
MONONA, Iowa (AP) Officials say 23 students and a bus driver from the MFL MarMac School District were taken to area hospitals after a school bus accident near Monona in northeast Iowa.
The accident happened on U.S. Highway 18 about 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Superintendent Dale Crozier says there were 23 students, ranging from elementary to high school age, on the bus. All the students and the bus driver were taken to three hospitals to be checked. Crozier says all but one student was released, and that student was kept for observation.
Crozier says there was patchy fog in the area at the time of the accident, which is being investigated by the Iowa State Patrol.
The school district is composed of Monona, Farmersburg, Luana , Marquette and McGregor.
Iowa agents find pot-filled teddy bear
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) Authorities say a Waterloo man has been arrested in an alleged scheme to smuggle marijuana in teddy bears.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says the Black Hawk County sheriff's office arrested Douglas Hoffman on Monday on drug and money laundering charges.
Officials say the charges stem from a 29-pound package sent from Arizona to a vacant house across from Hoffman's home in January 2010. Drug agents searched the package and found marijuana hidden inside a teddy bear. The package was then delivered.
Officials say a search of Hoffman's home turned up marijuana, scales and remnants of other bears.
Hoffman is in jail on $175,000 bond. The sheriff's office had no information on whether he had an attorney. There is no listing for his case on the Iowa online court system.

Last Minute Halloween Treets (Part 2)
Here are a few more tricky treats to add to your Halloween party to really get the kids going! Many of them can be done by the kids with little to no help from the adults.
Fruity Ghoul's Brew: This is a ghoulish drink that'll surely excite the little ones; put 1 maraschino cherry in each section of an ice-cube tray, and then fill it up the rest of the way with cran-raspberry juice. Add a couple of drops red food coloring to each section, and freeze. Mix orange juice and ginger ale in a pitcher (2:1). To create "blood," add red food coloring to some corn syrup. Once it's time to serve, dip the rim of each glass into the red corn syrup, and let it drip down the sides. Fill with OJ and ginger ale mixture and add of the red ice cubes. You can do the same thing replacing the OJ with apple juice, and adding green food coloring to the juice mixture, ice cubes, and corn syrup to give a slime look.
Apple Bites: This one's way too easy, and way too fun looking; quarter and core an apple, cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter to make it look like an open mouth, then press slivered almonds in place for teeth. If you're going for something a little sweeter, replace the almonds with mini marshmallows and adhere them with a little dab of peanut butter. If you're not serving them right away baste them with orange juice or sprinkle some table salt on the flesh of the apples to prevent browning. The salt may not be well received by some of the little ones, so watch it.
Melon Brain: This one's probably one of the most involved, but it's definitely the coolest; use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire outer green rind, exposing the inner white rind. Slice off the bottom of the melon just a bit to create a flat base that will keep it from rolling off the plate. With a toothpick, outline squiggly grooves that resemble the surface of a brain. Finally, carve narrow channels along the tracings with a sharp paring knife to expose the pink fruit beneath the rind.
Halloween Snack Mix: Basically, you just put your version of trail mix using all kinds of creative ghoulish names for the ingredients (pretzel sticks are bones, dried cranberries are drops of blood, marshmallows are eyes of witches etc.) inside of a plastic Solo cup wrapped in gauze and personified with a googly eye. Quick, creative, and definitely easy.
Spider Snacks: This is another one that can be done again and again using different ingredients. For savory, a Mini BabyBel cheese round will make for a sufficient body, and pretzels will work for the legs. Add raisins on top, using a pretzel to carve out the eye sockets. For sweet, replace the cheese with an Oreo and replace the traditional pretzel sticks with chocolate covered ones. Substitute mini marshmallows fastened with a dab of peanut butter for the eyes. The possibilities are endless for this one; make all kinds of bugs with all kinds of different ingredients.
Bloodcurdling Cupcakes and Cookies: This is another one where you're only limited by your imagination. Add fresh or dehydrated fruits, marshmallows, nuts, sprinkles, icing, candy, Oreos, or really anything to the tops of cookies or cupcakes to give them some personality. White icing with jelly beans can make a skull or a ghost, green and black icing with marshmallows can make a Frankenstein, crushed Oreos and gummy worms can make a gravesite. Small meringue cookies can be personified with nuts or candies for eyes, and don't forget about the time tested favorite, chocolate chip cookies. Use the chips to decorate the tops and bring them to life.
These are just a few ideas I came across, came up with, or found and added to; you're sure to find others with a quick search, but this is a good start.
Check here, here, and here for more ideas.

I recently picked up a chalkboard frame while thrift shopping. I knew it would go in the gallery wall, but it needed a coat of white paint, first. I pulled out the chalkboard center and taped off around the wood using FrogTape®.
In these types of projects where the outer edges of the tape don't matter, I like to fold them over for easy removal.
Using a small paintbrush, I painted the entire frame white. I will often prime thrifted frames, but this was rough wood and I knew it'd take straight white paint without a problem.
After three coats I removed the FrogTape®.
I put in an image from our recent trip to Sayulita. I love these hearts on driftwood by the beach.
I love fast, easy projects! This beauty is hanging in the dining room and making me smile everyday.

Kansas River among America's Most Endangered Rivers
Sand and gravel dredging threatens clean waterMay 15th, 2012

Fay Augustyn, American Rivers, (202) 347-7550
Laura Calwell, Kansas Riverkeeper, (913) 963-3460
Chad Lamer, Friends of the Kaw, (785) 218-4994
Melinda Daniels, Kansas State University, (785) 532-0765

Washington, D.C. – American Rivers named the Kansas River among America's Most Endangered Rivers® today, shining a national spotlight on the threat that sand and gravel dredging poses to clean water.
"The America's Most Endangered Rivers report is a call to action to save rivers that are facing a critical tipping point," said Fay Augustyn of American Rivers. "We all need healthy rivers for our drinking water, health, economy, and quality of life. We hope citizens will join us to ensure a clean, healthy Kansas River for generations to come."
In-river sand dredging widens and deepens the river channel, lowering the water level of the river and the water table – making access to water more difficult for people and wildlife. Dredging also causes erosion, and increases contamination and pollution by churning up old industrial pollutants (like PCBs and heavy metals) that have settled to the river bottom, thus increasing public health hazards.
Despite these concerns, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering drastically expanding dredging on the Kansas River by nearly 50 percent, even reopening areas previously closed due to "unacceptable degradation."
American Rivers and its partners have called on the Army Corps to complete a new Environmental Impact Study on dredging, deny all new permit and tonnage requests, and end dredging on the Kansas River by 2017.
"The Kansas or Kaw River is truly unique– it's the longest sandbed river in the country. American Rivers' designation shows the Kaw is not just of local but national importance," said Chad Lamer, President of Friends of the Kaw. "We really hope this recognition will improve our chances of building the nationally-recognized Kansas River Water Trail – a project that has enormous economic potential for many communities along the river."
"This designation will hopefully help improve our water quality, and anything that improves water quality improves the health and welfare of Kansans," said Laura Calwell, Kansas Riverkeeper for Friends of the Kaw. "Given that dredgers have other economic and affordable options to get high quality sand, we just don't see the need for in-river dredging. It damages the river too much for the rest of us."
"In my nearly 40 years of building experience, the price I pay for concrete or bulk sand for masonry applications has always been the same, regardless of whether the sand comes from a pit mine or river dredging," said Chip Farley, with F.W. Farley-Builder, Inc., Stilwell, Kansas. "Because of the recent economic downturn, the demand for sand is currently down. It would make sense for sand dredgers/suppliers to take this opportunity to develop additional pit mines for future demand, rather than pushing for expanded environmentally unfriendly river dredging."
"The Kansas River is a wonderful example of a Great Plains river, and can become an even greater recreational asset if access is improved," said Dr. Melinda D. Daniels, PhD, Associate Professor of Fluvial Geomorphology, Department of Geography, Kansas State University.
"However, in-channel sand mining is a lose-lose activity that damages the river ecosystem, causing accelerated bank and bed erosion and economic costs to floodplain landowners," Daniels adds. "Ultimately, taxpayers end up subsidizing a damaging and unnecessary mining process by having to pay the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to come in and repair the damage sand-dredging causes to banks, bridges, and water intakes. Mining operations can easily be moved to off-channel pits to provide continued supplies of sand at similar prices."
The Kansas River is the largest tributary of the Missouri River and provides drinking water for 600,000 people. The 'Kaw' has become the state's most popular recreational river, with over nineteen access points and four more underway. Canoeing and kayaking revenue in Kansas is calculated at around $3.7 million per year. The river and its tributaries are also home to fourteen threatened or endangered fish species. The U.S. Department of the Interior has declared the Kansas River Water Trail as one of its Top 101 Conservation Projects.
Now in its 27th year, the annual America's Most Endangered Rivers® report is a list of rivers at a crossroads, where key decisions in the coming months will determine the rivers' fates. Over the years, the report has helped spur many successes including the removal of outdated dams, the protection of rivers with Wild and Scenic designations, and the prevention of harmful development and pollution.
The Kansas River has been listed as one of America's Most Endangered Rivers® in the past – in 1995 (agricultural pollution and sand dredging), 1998 (agricultural and municipal pollution), and 2002 (pollution and removal of Clean Water Act protections).
America's Most Endangered Rivers® of 2012:
