Populations in Montana appear to have declined since the 1990’s, as evidenced by aerial survey trends and hunter harvest statistics. While declining populations have clear implications for hunting opportunity, moose management in Montana also suffers from a lack of rigorous data and methods with which to monitor population trends and prescribe actions. In 2013, Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks (MFWP) began a 10-year study designed to improve our understanding of: 1) cost-effective means to monitor statewide moose populations, and 2) the current status and trends of moose populations and the relative importance of factors influencing moose vital rates and limiting population growth (including predators, parasites, habitat, and weather). We are using a mechanistic approach to hierarchically assess which factors are drivers of moose vital rates (e.g., adult survival, pregnancy, calf survival), and ultimately which factors are most important to annual growth of moose populations.

    Media Coverage of Oil Sands Pipelines: A Chronological Record of Headlines from 2010 to 2014 Oil Sands Research and Information Network School of Energy and the Environment University of Alberta December 2014 Oil Sands Research and Information Network The Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) is a university-based, independent organization that compiles, interprets and analyses available knowledge about managing the environmental impacts to landscapes and water affected by oil sands mining and gets that knowledge into the hands of those who can use it to drive breakthrough improvements in regulations and practices. OSRIN is a project of the University of Alberta’s School of Energy and the Environment (SEE). OSRIN was launched with a start-up grant of $4.5 million from Alberta Environment and a $250,000 grant from the Canada School of Energy and Environment Ltd. OSRIN provides: Governments with the independent, objective, and credible information and analysis required to put appropriate regulatory and policy frameworks in place Media, opinion leaders and the general public with the facts about oil sands development, its environmental and social impacts, and landscape/water reclamation activities – so that public dialogue and policy is informed by solid evidence Industry with ready access to an integrated view of research that will help them make and execute environmental management plans – a view that crosses disciplines and organizational boundaries OSRIN recognizes that much research has been done in these areas by a variety of players over 40 years of oil sands development. OSRIN synthesizes this collective knowledge and presents it in a form that allows others to use it to solve pressing problems.

  • Ordner, James
    Grassroots Resistance to the Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska By James Patrick Ordner Submitted to the graduate degree program in Sociology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ______________________ Chairperson: David Smith ______________________ Robert Antonio ______________________ Eric Hanley ______________________ Kelly Kindscher ______________________ Joane Nagel ______________________ Bill Staples Date Defended: December 7, 2015 The Dissertation Committee for James Ordner certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Grassroots Resistance to the Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska ______________________ Chairperson: David N. Smith Date approved: December 7, 2015 ii Abstract: While the Keystone XL pipeline project became a major cultural and political symbol for the greater environmental movement’s effort to curb carbon dioxide emissions and begin shifting to a renewable energy economy, a vigorous and sustained grassroots movement, led by the social movement organization Bold Nebraska, emerged in rural Nebraska to fight the pipeline at the local level. Using the politics of contention perspective and framing analysis, this dissertation analyzes the Keystone XL debate in rural Nebraska at the structural, cultural and agency levels of analysis. At the structural and cultural levels, I use county demographic data to examine the sociopolitical factors shaping mobilization outcomes in Nebraskan communities. The main body of the analysis focuses on the narratives and discourses used by the various interests involved in the debate in Nebraska. Through the use of in-depth interviews and testimony from four public comment hearings held in Nebraska (N=528), I identify the major framing strategies employed by both pipeline supporters and pipeline opponents.

  • CPB-Stabilization-Funding-Request
    Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stabilization Funding Request and Justification FY 2021 Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget and to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies January 26, 2021 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) FY 2021 Stabilization Funding Request STATEMENT OF NEED AND REQUEST The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) is very appreciative of the $75 million in stabilization funding in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020. This financial assistance was vital in providing stability to our nation’s public media system during the early months of the crisis. Today, we request an additional $175 million in stabilization funding to ensure the continued viability of public media stations during this period of extraordinary economic hardship. Although our data indicates that public media’s stabilization needs exceed $400 million, we are mindful of the difficult decisions the new Administration and Congress must make during this time. CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to high-quality, non-commercial content and telecommunications services that educate, inform and enrich the public. Further, in many states and local communities, public media stations’ digital and broadcast infrastructure provide the backbone for emergency alert, public safety, first responder and homeland security services. If stations are forced to cut additional jobs or further reduce content and services, their

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Broadcast Localism ) MM Docket No. 04-233 ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, INC. Neal A. Jackson Vice President for Legal Affairs General Counsel and Secretary Michael Riksen Vice President for Government Relations Dana Davis Rehm Vice President for Member Services Michael Starling Vice President for Engineering Gregory A. Lewis Associate General Counsel Michelle M. Shanahan Associate General Counsel 635 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20001 202/513-2040 November 1, 2004 Summary NPR welcomes the Commission's inquiry into broadcast localism because it allows us to address what is a hallmark of public radio -- its inherent localism. As envisioned by Congress and the Commission, public radio is fundamentally a system of locally licensed, locally governed, locally staffed, and locally programmed stations. This inherent localism is directly attributable to a combination of social and institutional forces, many statutorily mandated, such as community advisory boards and open public meetings. In addition, public radio stations are dependent for their existence on voluntary financial contributions from listeners. Indeed, public radio stations continue to thrive due to their deep roots in and ongoing engagement with their communities of service. That public radio has thrived is also a testament to the extensive local services stations provide to communities across the country. Public radio stations serve their communities every day in myriad ways, including through local news and public affairs programming, political programming, support for local arts, culture and non-profit organizations, online and other non- broadcast initiatives, and services specifically targeted to underserved audiences, including the print-impaired and minority listeners.
