Utsler found NASCAR drivers and/or cars were featured in nearly half the commercials at the Daytona 500. Utsler is conducting the researchE with Stuart Esrock, a professor at the University of Louisville.

WHICH CAME FIRST?

Instead of debating the childhood riddle about whether the chicken or the egg came first, the real question to ask is whether dinosaurs came first -- or birds.

The question landed two KU paleontologists in the midst of a scientific debate and the focus of a recent episode of the nationwide public television program "NOVA."

The "The Four-Winged Dinosaur" episode explored what makes the theories about avian evolution so complicated. It prominently featured the work of Larry D. Martin, professor and curator of paleontology, and David Burnham, dinosaur preparator, and the model they created of a microraptor, a four-winged animal about the size of a goose.

In part, the debate hinges on whether evidence supports the theory that animals developed flight as ground-dwelling animals, as the majority of paleontologists assert. Martin and Burnham theorize that flight originated above, in the trees. Such animals would have been gliders, and they said the fossil of a microraptor -- now on loan to KU from China -- supports their theory.

CGIWrap Error: Script Execution Failed

CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:

Error Message: Exec format error
Error Number: 8
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. This is typically a problem if the script was edited or uploaded from a DOS/Windows/Macintosh station to a unix based server.

If you are not the owner of this script, please forward this error and the URL that caused it to the script owner. That is often the component in the URL right after /cgiwrap/.
