The law that helps stem the rapid decline of neotropical migratory birds that populate America and the western hemisphere is up for reauthorization in Congress. Key species in Utah include the Gray Vireo, the Pinyon Jay, and Ferruginous Hawks. Here to talk about the importance of these species and the new legislation which would increase funding to preserve their habitat is Dan Casey, the Northern Rockies Bird Conservation Region Coordinator for the American Bird Conservancy.

If you think Generation Xers are over-educated, unemployed slackers who live with their parents, you need to think again according to Jeff Gordinier. A Gen-Xer himself, he is the author of the new book titled X Saves the World: How Generation X Got the Shaft but Can Still Keep Everything from Sucking. In it, he takes a close look at the accomplishments and culture created by those born between 1960 and 1977. Jeff Gordinier is Editor-at-Large at Details magazine. He has written for numerous major publications including Esquire, GQ, Fortune, and the Los Angeles Times.
