Former ag radio cowboy Bruce Behymer remembered
Sedgwick AP Bruce Behymer, longtime livestock reporter on KFH Wichita, defines eight decades in agriculture with two words horsing around. His son describes him as John Wayne with humor, a storyteller and cowboy poet. Behymer loved live stock, rode to church in a horse-drawn buggy, and built a radio persona mixing malapropisms with farm lore. He left radio after Wichita Stockyards closed but keeps a strong memory of farm life, humor, and Alberta, his wife.

Toadfish song fuels hunt for human muscle disease cure
Berkeley scientists study the plainfin midshipman toadfish humming its sonic muscles at 6 000 vibrations per minute in shallow bays. Researchers link its endurance to potential treatments for nemaline myopathy and other muscular disorders, aiming to coach human muscles to faster, longer performance. The work, presented in San Francisco and noted by Andrew Bass, may reveal new approaches to muscle biology.
