quote of the day
"If it bleeds, we can kill it."
Arnold Shwarzenegger in the 1987 film "Predator"
fact of the day
According to an interview with director John McTiernan, the "hole in the jungle" appearance of the predator was played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in a "blue screen" (actually red) suit. Van Damme quit after two days, unhappy with being cast as an uncredited special effect. The alien was scrapped, redesigned and was eventually played by 7-foot-2 Kevin Peter Hall.

Kansas City newspaper publishes salaries of state employees online
The Kansas City Star recently put a database showing the salaries for all state employees on its Web site.
The database, which was put on the Star's Web site March 31, was put up because employee pay is often the largest chunk of a government budget and the information must be made public.
The database features state employee salaries from Johnson, Platte, Clay, Jackson and Wyandotte counties; Kansas City and Kansas City Police Department; and Kansas and Missouri universities.
The state of Missouri already puts salaries online, and Kansas plans to do so later this year.
