July 26, 2012
UTC Reports Second Quarter EPS Growth From Continuing Operations of 15 Percent; Expects 2012 EPS of $5.25 to $5.35 on Sales of $58 Billion to $59 Billion and Increases Restructuring
HARTFORD, Conn. – United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) today reported second quarter 2012 results. All results in this release reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Earnings per share of $1.62 and net income attributable to common shareowners of $1.5 billion, were up 15 percent and 14 percent, respectively, over the year ago quarter. Results for the current quarter include $0.10 per share of net favorable one-time items, partially offset by $0.06 of restructuring costs. Earnings per share in the year ago quarter included $0.05 per share of net favorable one-time items, partially offset by $0.04 of restructuring costs. Before these items, earnings per share increased 13 percent year over year. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.5 percent. Foreign currency translation, and hedges at Pratt & Whitney Canada, had an adverse impact of $0.05.
United Technologies completed the acquisition of Rolls Royce's interests in International Aero Engines on June 29. For its proposed acquisition of Goodrich Corporation, United Technologies anticipates receiving full regulatory approval today and closing the acquisition by the end of this week.
"The Goodrich and IAE transactions better position UTC to serve the growing aerospace market," said Louis Chênevert, UTC Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. "We are concluding on the substantial transformational changes to our portfolio that will generate shareholder value well into the future."
Sales for the quarter of $13.8 billion were 5 percent below prior year. Organic sales increased 1 percent over the year ago quarter, while net divestitures and foreign currency translation each had an adverse impact of 3 points. Combined, net divestitures and foreign currency translation accounted for $0.8 billion of the sales decline.
Second quarter segment operating margin at 16.5 percent was 70 basis points higher than prior year. Adjusted for restructuring costs and net one-time items, segment operating margin at 16.4 percent was 80 basis points higher than prior year. Research and development costs increased $31 million in the quarter to $525 million. Cash flow from operations was $1.7 billion and capital expenditures were $244 million in the quarter.
"UTC delivered solid operating performance while sustaining our investment in game-changing technology in the face of a challenging economic environment," Chênevert added.
New equipment orders at Otis were down 7 percent over the year ago second quarter, including unfavorable foreign exchange of 3 percentage points. North American Residential HVAC new equipment orders at UTC Climate, Controls & Security grew 4 percent. Commercial spares orders were down 15 percent at Pratt & Whitney's large engine business and down 10 percent at Hamilton Sundstrand.
"In light of the slowing global economy, a weaker Euro that we now assume to be in the range of $1.20 for the remainder of the year, and late July close for Goodrich, we now expect 2012 sales of $58 billion to $59 billion," Chênevert added. "We expect earnings per share of $5.25 to $5.35, versus our prior expectation of $5.30 to $5.50. As always, we will focus on cost reduction and strong execution. We are increasing our investment in restructuring this year to $500 million, up from our prior plan of $450 million, and continue to expect net one-time gains of $600 million."
UTC continues to expect cash flow from operations less capital expenditures to meet or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners for the year. The company does not anticipate share repurchase in 2012 and has a placeholder of $500 million for acquisitions excluding the Goodrich transaction. UTC continues to expect a full year effective tax rate of 29.5 percent, excluding Goodrich and one-time items.
Earnings per share from discontinued operations were a loss of $0.15 in the quarter. Results included a $179 million pre-tax impairment charge associated with the UTC Power business, which was moved to discontinued operations in the second quarter, as well as a reserve for potential warranty costs associated with the Clipper business.

Khairul Amri made his long-awaited LionsXII debut last night in a friendly match with Johor FA at the Larkin Stadium, which the LionsXII won 4-3.
The 27-year-old had been out of action for 11 months after a serious knee injury.
He didn't score after coming on as a substitute for 25 minutes, but coming through unscathed on his LionsXII debut mattered more.
For the record, the LionsXII scored through defender Abdil Qayyim, also making his debut, Agu Casmir (two) and Shahdan Sulaiman. They led 4-2 at half-time but struggled after Agu and Isa Halim were taken off at half-time and were lucky to hang on to the win.

Clint Eastwood starring in For a Few Dollars More in 1967. Eastwood starred in a series of "Spaghetti Westerns", which were produced by Sergio Leone, with Italian scripts and English dubbing. This is a fine print of the original photograph. It is set in a gesso and wood frame, which was hand-finished by craftsmen using traditional 17th century Florentine techniques. The frame is hand-painted in black.
When European designers need the perfect black-and-white photograph, they turn to the archives of the William Stafford Gallery. Based in London, the gallery sources evocative, memorable images from large and small collections across the globe. William Stafford is known for unearthing remarkable undiscovered works by the most important photographers.

The WIFLE Foundation (WIFLE) is an organization whose goal is to achieve gender equity within federal law enforcement through the recruitment, retention and promotion of qualified women in law enforcement, and to develop an information-sharing and support network for all women in law enforcement. In July 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics announced that as of September 2004, there were more than 106,000 full time personnel authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the Federal government. Women represent only 16.1 percent of that workforce. There remains much to be done to achieve gender balance within the federal agencies. It is in the spirit of achieving this goal that WIFLE offers a scholarship.
The WIFLE Foundation will offer a scholarship(s) to talented individual(s) to meet the demands in the field of law enforcement and to foster the professional development of those engaged in law enforcement. The dollar amount of each scholarship will be approximately $2,500, but may vary based on numerous factors. Awards may be renewable on subsequent applications.

Slomka's Hannover talks on hold
Hannover coach Mirko Slomka is using his club's apparent reluctance to discuss a contract extension with him as a source of motivation.
The former Schalke boss's current deal only has one year left to run, and he says plans to negotiate a new deal have been repeatedly put back to the point where he is no longer sure whether he is wanted.
"Clearly my performance is not good enough to earn a new contract," he said. "But I see that as a source of motivation."
Slomka has led the Reds into the Europa League two years running, taking them to the quarter-finals last term - the club's best achievement in Europe - before guiding them to a seventh-place finish in the Bundesliga.
"We have tried to hold talks numerous times, but always without success," he is quoted as saying in the Hannoversche Allgemeine newspaper.
"Last winter, we were told that we would talk after our training camp in Portugal. Then it was put back to March.
"Then, as my agent asked for an update, (president Martin) Kind told him the talks would be scheduled for the summer.
"Now, they are due to take place in the autumn."
Slomka took charge of Hannover soon after the death of goalkeeper Robert Enke in November 2009 and a string of defeats which saw them plummet towards relegation in 2010.
He managed to save them from the drop and lead them to a fourth-place finish in his first full season in charge, following that up with seventh last year and making him the club's most successful coach.

The 2013 Folger Gala was a great success. With the generosity of our sponsors, guests, and donors, we raised $260,000 for the Folger Shakespeare Library's programs, which bring the very best in Shakespeare education and performance to schoolchildren, scholars, and audiences in the Washington area and beyond.
We extend a very special thanks to Gala Co-Chairs, Edward and Patricia Leahy, and the Gala Committee whose leadership and efforts helped achieve this success. Thank you also to Honorary Co-Chairs, the British Ambassador and Lady Westmacott and the Ambassador of Ireland and Mrs. Collins, for their patronage and for the kind sentiments about the Folger that Ambassador Collins shared in his remarks.
More than 200 guests enjoyed the exhibition viewing of "Nobility and Newcomers in Renaissance Ireland" followed by the hilarious "Instant Pyramus & Thisbe" directed by Aaron Posner. The cast of Folger favorites, Cody Nickell, Kate Eastwood Norris, Ian Merrill Peakes, Karen Peakes, Holly Twyford, and musician Cliff Eberhardt, gave us an insightful and humorous look at the art of performing Shakespeare. The evening was topped off by a delectable dinner in the exquisite Gail Kern Paster Reading Room. You may enjoy reading the event coverage in Bloomberg News .

Wondolowski's time to shine
The U.S. went into its Gold Cup opener against Belize with little to gain other than three points in the standings. After all, reputations are rarely enhanced when a team is forced into the role of Goliath. Yet Chris Wondolowski ensured that this wasn't a night for underdogs and improved his own standing in the process by netting a first-half hat trick to lead the Americans to a 6-1 victory.
Ian Gaynair tallied for the Jaguars, while Stuart Holden, Michael Orozco-Fiscal and Landon Donovan scored in the second half for the Americans on Tuesday night. Donovan added two assists, giving him a total of 52 in his international career, and becoming the first American player to record more than 50 goals and 50 assists.
But the story of the night was clearly Wondolowski. Prior to Friday's friendly against Guatemala, the San Jose Earthquakes striker had failed to score in 11 previous appearances with the U.S. side. Now he has four goals in two games, and while Belize's team is manned mostly by amateur players, Wondolowski deserves credit for taking his chances.
The start of the match was in many ways similar to the win over Guatemala. Belize was intent on getting as many men behind the ball as possible and early on looked tough to break down. The U.S. made a point of attacking the flanks, and it was from such a foray that the Americans broke in front in the 12th minute. Donovan released Jose Torres down the left wing, and his cross was nodded toward the goal by Joe Corona. The shot was cleared by Belize defender Trevor Lennen straight to Wondolowski, who duly accepted the gift and rifled the ball home from 4 yards.
Belize hung tough for the next 25 minutes, and the Americans' attempts to play quick combinations were just a hair off. But some quick thinking by Kyle Beckerman saw the U.S. double its advantage in the 37th minute. His first-time cross was put perfectly into Wondolowski's path, allowing him to score with a diving header.
However, just when it looked as though the U.S. would run away with the match, Belize shocked those in attendance with a goal from a set piece in the 40th minute. A free kick from the right flank found Gaynair wide open at the far post, and he didn't even have to leave his feet to nod home from 6 yards.
Order was restored a minute later. Michael Parkhurst, who was among the guilty parties for Belize's goal, delivered a sharp cross, and Wondolowski bravely headed home to give the U.S. a two-goal lead heading into halftime.
The U.S. then put the game away in the second half. Holden came on at halftime and scored the Americans' fourth goal in the 58th minute, when he turned home Donovan's knockdown from Corona's cross.
Orozco-Fiscal then padded the U.S. lead within a minute when he headed home Donovan's free kick. Donovan completed the scoring in the 75th minute when he converted a penalty after Ashley Torres was whistled, somewhat harshly, for a handball.
So what did manager Jurgen Klinsmann learn from this match? Not much, despite the lopsided scoreline. Belize was a brave but overmatched opponent, and it's likely the U.S. will face more resistance from Cuba, even though the Americans have dominated that matchup in the past. However, at a minimum, it will be a night to remember for Wondolowski. Two years ago in this same tournament, he squandered a clear chance late in a 2-1 loss to Panama. It was a miss that defined his international career in the years that followed. But now that moment will be superseded by much happier memories. And thanks to this performance, there might be more to come.
Player ratings: (0-10)
GK Nick Rimando, 7 -- Came up with an awkward save on Deon McCauley's shot in the first half and commanded his box well. Could do little about Gaynair's header but delivered a sharp fingertip save late on Evral Trapp's blast.
D DaMarcus Beasley, 6 -- Would have liked to see him get the ball more often, as he usually did good things with it. His speed came in handy defensively a few times.
D Clarence Goodson, 6.5 -- Put out a few fires at the back and initiated plenty of attacks by carrying the ball forward.
D Michael Orozco-Fiscal, 5.5 -- An ill-timed slip created an opening for McCauley in the first half, and he came off second-best in a few physical battles. He turned the tables in that regard during the second half, outmuscling his opponent for his goal.
D Michael Parkhurst, 4 -- Lost Gaynair on Belize's goal but made up for it a minute later by serving up the cross for Wondolowski's third. That said, his touch too often let him down when in the attacking third.
M Jose Torres, 5.5 -- Helped set up the first U.S. goal with an aggressive run and sharp cross, but his finishing touch eluded him despite getting some clear looks at goal.
M Kyle Beckerman, 6.5 -- His inch-perfect cross set up the second U.S. goal, and he set the table for Torres with another excellent cross. Did have one giveaway in a bad spot but was otherwise tidy in possession.
M Mix Diskerud, 6 -- Seemed a bit more incisive with his passes than many of his teammates, whether it was switching the point of attack or initiating quick combinations.
M Joe Corona, 6 -- His header caused havoc in the Belize penalty area for Wondolowski's first goal, and he was involved in the buildup to Holden's goal.
F Landon Donovan, 6.5 -- The ideas were there in terms of trying to play quick combinations, but the execution was lacking at times in the first half. He looked sharper in the second half, and his knockdown gave Holden the easiest of chances.
F Chris Wondolowski, 9 -- Yes, it was Belize, but give the San Jose forward credit for taking his chances, two with diving headers. He likely didn't move up the depth chart all that much, but he at least made the most of his opportunity.
M Stuart Holden, 7 -- Another sharp performance for the Bolton midfielder in terms of his passing, and he was perfectly positioned to steer home Donovan's knockdown for the fourth U.S. goal. Narrowly missed on a 78th-minute header.
M Brek Shea, 6 -- Looked bright after he came on, taking an aggressive mindset by running at opponents and crashing the box whenever possible.
M Alejandro Bedoya, 6 -- Nearly scored with his first touch and was lively thereafter.

Mozilla Mobile for Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux
Mozilla is working on a Firefox browser for mobile devices and it looks likely that it will run on Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux.
Windows Mobile and Linux phones are likely to be the first devices to be able to use the browser, says Mozilla developer Doug Turner. These mobile operating systems have at least in part the same code as their counterparts for desktop computers. This makes it easier to develop a mobile version of the browser. This said, Symbian is vastly different from a desktop system and will mean more effort on the part of the developers. "But because Symbian has such a wide market, it may make sense to do that," Turner said.
Doug Turner has been working since 2000 on the Minimo project, a Mozilla browser for mobile devices, however, the project has stagnated recently: although Turner has completed maintenance work, no further developments have been forthcoming. A major blog entry by Mike Schroepfer, Vice President Mozilla Corporation, titled "Mozilla and Mobile" adds new impetus to the topic. In his blog, Schroepfer announces that Mozilla is working on a new mobile version of Firefox. He writes that a decision has not been taken on the platform, but based on the many responses to the web page, there seems to be heavy demand from Symbian users.
Turner also emphasizes the big advantage that keeping Firefox Mobile's source open offers. Because developers all over the world will be able to contribute, he is convinced that it will be possible to migrate Firefox to Symbian or to any other mobile operating system, even if Mozilla does not contribute to this. As an example of a similar response, Turner quotes cases in which free developers have ported the desktop browser to legacy operating systems. The future mobile browser will be based on the new Mozilla2 platform, which is scheduled for release in 2009.

BURKE COUNTY, N.C. -- Burke County Investigators and the SBI are trying to figure out what caused an early morning house fire in Connelly Springs that killed two kids.
Fire officials said a 6-year-old and 11-year-old died in a house fire on Old Laurel Road in Connelly Springs around 3 a.m.
A North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper was nearby the scene on a different call when he saw the smoke and drove to the home.
According to his supervisor, when the trooper arrived, a relative was on the lawn and and said the kids were inside.
That trooper broke a window to try and rescue the pair, but the smoke was too thick and he was forced to retreat. The trooper was treated and released for smoke inhalation.
According to captain Richard Patton of George Hildebrand Fire and Rescue, when crews arrived the home was fully engulfed with "fire coming out of all windows."
Patton said there were 10 people inside the home at the time of the fire, some of them were taken to the hospital.
The kid's grandfather, Charlie Suderno, was notified by deputies early Thursday. He told NBC Charlotte he hoped the kids didn't suffer. He also said he had fond memories.
"The boy that was in there, he was me and my wife's weekend warrior. He'd come over and spend time with us," he said.
Suderno had some advice for parents and grandparents.
"All can say is besides the prayers, give your kids a hug tonight when they come home. They might not be here tomorrow."

Jan Kybic and Peter Samuelson's BitMap Viewer (BMV) application is a PostScript viewer for the Linux console that does not require X. The application is mainly used for viewing postscript files from DVI output.
BMV is a PostScript-viewing application for Linux that works with the library SVGAlib. SVGAlib is a low-level graphics library for Linux that does not require X Windows. If BMV is compiled against SVGAlib and installed set user id root, as is the default case in Debian 3.0, then an attacker with console access could obtain access to a read/write descriptor to /dev/mem. The attacker could do so by supplying an attack application as the argument to the switch -g.
A read/write descriptor to kernel memory provides an attacker for many possibilities of achieving a root compromise. One such example is the ability to redefine low-level system calls. If getuid32() were modified to return 0, then any user could "su" to root without supplying a password.
iDEFENSE has proof of concept exploit code demonstrating the impact of this vulnerability.
iDEFENSE has verified the existence of the vulnerability in BMV version 1.2 when compiled against SVGALIB version 1.4.3.
Remove the package if it is unused. On systems where BMV is required, remove the set user id bit from the BMV binary with the following command:
# chmod u-s `which bmv`
This prevents attackers from exploiting the vulnerability, but it also prevents regular users from properly utilizing BMV.
This issue was reportedly fixed in version 1.2a of BMV.
A Mitre Corp. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) number has not been assigned to this issue.

Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain Park
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday
10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday
STONE MOUNTAIN — An event that some call the "grandfather of arts and crafts exhibitions" kicks off Thursday morning, a juried show featuring more than 400 vendors and touting past attendance of nearly 200,000 visitors.
The 44th annual Yellow Daisy Festival runs through Sunday at Stone Mountain Park's special events meadow.
The gathering features jury-picked artists selected from a pool of applicants. Crafts run the gamut: pottery, fabric, painting, jewelry, sculpture, bigger, photography, fine arts and traditional arts and crafts.
Public Relations Manager Jeanine Jones said the festival is the largest of its kind in the South. "It's quite a unique setting as well," Jones said.
She added that about 85 percent of those who have attended past events are women. "They come in groups with their girlfriends or moms and daughters or they come with friends," Jones said.
Janet Bell, special events manager, agreed.
"We see packs of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, neighbors and best friends coming together dressed in their yellow daisy outfits seeking that hot craft item of the year," Bell said. "They even get here before the festival officially opens at 10 a.m. to begin their shopping ... and we don't stop them."
Stone Mountain Park is located off Exit 8 on Hwy. 78. For more information, visit www.stonemountainpark.com.

Powered by Experience, the KSC eMentoring Network is a platform for students and alumni to independently find and work with a mentor for support and guidance. The online networking program enables to mentee to search and find mentors based on their mentoring needs at the time. The possibilities for a mentorship include but are not limited to: academic support (at KSC and after KSC), career support, and relocation advice.
To become a mentor or mentee, please click the KSC eMentoring Network logo below.

Who can be a KSC eMentoring Network Mentor?
A KSC eMentoring Network Mentor is a Keene State College alumnus or Keene State College Parent who has volunteered to share their professional experiences in one-on-one partnerships with KSC students and alums. KSC Mentors are:
What do mentors help mentees with?
There are unlimited reasons why a mentee may reach out to a particular mentor. Here are just a few examples of possible partnerships:
How much time do I need to put aside for the mentoring partnership?
The time allotted is dependent on each individual connection. When beginning a mentorship, we recommend establishing expectations for both the mentor, and the mentee. One expectation to discuss could be how much time each person should spend on the relationship.
Some connections can last a short amount of time, such as a mentee asking questions about a possible major. Other connections can span a longer amount of time, for example, when a mentee is preparing for a job search.
Can I be both a mentor and a mentee?
It is possible for alumni and parents to be both a mentor and a mentee. While everyone is registered in the network as a mentee, alumni and parents have the option to become a mentor.
How many mentors can I have?
There can be a maximum of five connections per mentee.
How many mentees can I have?
While the mentor sets how many mentees he/she can have, we recommend starting with a maximum of five mentees. Once the mentor sees how the partnerships develop, he/she can have a better understanding of how many connections they can maintain.
I have yet to be contacted by a possible mentee, what should I do?
There are a few reasons you may have yet to be contacted. Depending on the time of year, students may not be actively looking for a mentor. As the school year progresses, we expect more students to become actively engaged with the network. We also recommend checking your mentor profile. Mentees can search for both broad subjects, and very specific subjects. It is important to highlight both in your profile, so you can be included in a variety of searches conducted by the mentee.
If you have not heard from a mentee in three months, please email us at email@example.com
Is it possible to end a mentoring partnership?
Yes. Once the partnership has run its course, either party has the capability is an option to break the connection. The link for the option is located on the right hand side of your personal account homepage.

A Tulsa pet owner said his dog, a Black and Tan named Harry, was mistreated while he was euthanized.
"I knew I had to put him down," said pet owner, Tom Perry. "Harry was 15-years-old, he was having strokes and he was half blind. My mother and I took him into see our vet Dr. Grogan, who we had been seeing for 20 years, a few months ago to put him down."
Their experience was more than awful.
"He gave him something through his leg at first that did not work, so then he shaved another part of him and then Harry started convulsing. It was like he did not want to let go. I started to cry, my mother started to cry too."
Perry has had to put down pets before.
"We have put down a German Shepard and a cat before. That was a long time ago and with different veterinarians. I had never seen or heard of a dog being put down like my Harry was put down. It was a horrifying experience."
Perry reported the incident to the Oklahoma Veterinary Board. They looked into Dr. Grogan's record. Executive Director of the board, Cathy Kirkpatrick told FOX23 News they took Dr. Grogan's license away from him eight months ago.
Kirkpatrick said it started with a tax issue. Per state law, a veterinarian must be tax compliant for the board to renew his license. When Dr. Grogan went to renew his license in 2011, he was found to be non-compliant. The Veterinary Board made numerous attempts to work with him to get him compliant over the course of a year.
In June 2012, they held a hearing on it. He didn't show or issue a response and they revoked his license. A part of that includes confiscating all of the medication he has in stock.
They found he continued to practice and serve clients after that date, leading to false prescriptions charges for Phenobarbital.
The board found out what Grogan used on Perry's dog Harry.
In November, he administered two doses of Anased also known as Xylazine, to Harry in a euthanasia case. According to Kirkpatrick, the procedure went very wrong and more complaints were filed. Anased is not the drug that is supposed to be used to euthanize an animal.
According to another south Tulsa veterinarian, Dr. Rodney Robards, Anased is used to sedate a dog, like a muscle relaxer.
"The drugs I use are given to me through the State board," said Dr. Robards. "They are called Fatal Plus, Beuthanasia, and Euthasol. You can only obtain those medications if you have a license."
"I just do not want any other pets to ever have to go through what my Harry went through right before he died," said Perry as his eyes filled with tears. "I never had an agenda against Dr. Grogan but he should never have been practicing on my dog or any pet without a license."
Dr. Grogan is 83-years-old and has been practicing with a license since 1956. The board said he has never had a reported problem until this week.
He was arrested Friday morning on several counts including, animal cruelty, false prescriptions, and practicing without a license. He bonded out less than two hours after he was arrested.

lovastatin extended-release - oral, Altoprev
GENERIC NAME: LOVASTATIN EXTENDED-RELEASE - ORAL (LOW-vuh-stat-in)
BRAND NAME(S): Altoprev
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Lovastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (e.g., LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins". It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. In general, lovastatin is prescribed after non-drug treatments have not been fully successful at lowering cholesterol (e.g., diet change, increase in exercise, weight loss if overweight). Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration

Video Postcard : Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve
Posted November 19th, 2007 by jersu
Credits --
Special Thanks :
A 3 minute video postcard from a recent visit to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Kansas. I had the privilege of visiting this unit of the parks recently. Park interpreters led a tour of the historic house and barn, followed later by a bus tour of the prairie. I happened to be on the very last bus tour of the season, the next one won't be until April.
The park itself is pretty remote. I was traveling through Wichita and decided to take the side trip. The park is approximately 90 miles (one-way) from Wichita. Considering the drive consumed 3 hours of my time (round trip), I am glad I made the trip, it was worth it to see the area. Kansas isn't nearly as flat as I had thought it would be.

I note that you drew a different interpreter on your bus tour than I did. I hope the amplification was better. I actually did meet your interpreter at the visitor center/gift shop area, and belive he had experience at several other parks.
Did you ask about when the TGPNP would eventually manage bison instead of cattle, and if and when that happens how many head of bison the national preserve would sustain? I noted that you took close-ups of the flint of the Flint Hills. Very nice video.

The last time I checked, a small herd of 25-30 bison was being managed for experimental purposes on a 1,200-acre tract west of the historic ranch house. Whether a large bison herd will ever again roam the preserve is certainly open to question. There seems to be no scientific evidence that bison would be better for the land than cattle. What seems more important is how much grazing of any kind is permitted where and when. The preserve is probably too small to accommodate both bison and cattle in large numbers.
Submitted by jersu on November 20, 2007 - 8:04pm.
The question of bison grazing did come up. As I recall, we were told that the eventual plan is to replace the cattle grazing with bison grazing. I don't remember if a specific number was given though. I didn't touch on it in the video, but part of the story at the Tallgrass Prairie is that it is a co-managed unit, with the Nature Conservancy playing a tremendously big role in the prairie management. In fact, you can hear the interpreter near the end of the video talking about an entity "paying taxes" on the land -- he's referring to the Nature Conservancy. It would be ultimately up to the Nature Conservancy (I believe), working in partnership with the NPS, to bring the bison back to this range.

Kansas isn't nearly as flat as I had thought it would be.
You were thinking of western Kansas. I spent my early childhood in eastern Kansas (not a fact I readily admit), and we had places like Echo Cliff and Burnett's Mound and Buffalo Hill. Nothing spectacular when compared to Crater Lake, Lava Beds, or Mount Shasta mind you. But not as flat as many assume. Now the drive west on I-70 to past Salina to Denver...oh...my...god. That's flat! Did you know William Steele ("father" of Crater Lake) was from Kansas? As a school boy in Kansas he unwrapped a sandwich wrapped in newspaper to find an article on Crater Lake, or so the legend goes. He dreamed of visiting there, and many years later was superintendent of the park. Parallels my story. Except I wasn't superintendent. Yet. Ha.
