July 23, 2012 | Volume 87, Number 19
Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo poses for many photographers after the bi-lingual Mass. Here he is with a large number of parishioners from St. Rose of Lima and the Korean Martyrs Catholic Parish in Hampton as well as some Godparents who may not be members of that community.
Korean Catholics urged to evangelize
Several hundred Korean Catholics gathered at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on July 8 for a celebration of the martyrdom of St. Andrew Kim Taegon and the sacrament of Confirmation.
The bi-lingual liturgy in both Korean and English drew Korean Catholics not only from St. Kim Taegon Parish in Richmond but also the joint parish of St. Rose of Lima/Korean Catholic Community in Hampton.
In his homily Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo said that St. Andrew Kim Taegon experienced the same rejection that Jesus did while trying to evangelize.
Born in 1821, St. Andrew Kim Taegon was 25 when he was martyred in 1846. He was eventually canonized by Pope John Paul II on May 6, 1984 along with 103 Korean martyrs.
Bishop DiLorenzo exudes joy as he receives flowers and a framed commendation from Christopher Kim and Clara Park.
"In that time and in that (Korean) culture, people had a choice and exercised that choice," Bishop DiLorenzo said. "Some did not believe that Christianity had a place in the Korean culture."
St. Andrew Kim Taegon remained firm in his Christian faith as he was preparing to be killed.
"This is the last hour of my life, listen to me attentively," the Korean saint is believed to have said. "Become Christians if you wish to be happy every day."
Those who persevere in their Christian faith despite obstacles and hardships are called saints, the bishop said.
"Become Christians if you wish to be happy every day."
But on the other hand, people have choices and some choose to reject Christ's message.
"It is a sad choice and we don't want people to live with the consequences of their bad choice," he said.
Bishop DiLorenzo confirms Hyungtae Woo as his sponsor, Peter Hyungro Lee, looks on. Both men are from St. Rose of Lima and the Korean Martyrs Parish in Hampton.
In a reference to the Korean culture, Bishop DiLorenzo said it existed 2,000 years before the time of Jesus and is still in existence more than 2,000 years later. But during these many centuries there were many hard times.
"The Japanese presence during World War II was especially painful to the Korean people," Bishop DiLorenzo said.
Many Koreans have chosen to migrate to other countries, he added, pointing out that two million have come to the United States.
"Is Korean culture open to receiving Catholic Christianity and the answer is yes," the Bishop said.
He noted that 29 percent of the Korean community have chosen to be Christian "and a number of them have chosen to be Catholic Christians."
Congregation in worship at the Korean mass.
Among the attributes Korean people have as part of their culture is a sense of democratization, participation in social welfare with outreach to the poor and a respectful approach to dialogue. Other attributes include personal morality and virtue, strong family loyalty and respect for their elders.
"What is important is that you, as a group of lay faithful, go out and evangelize," Bishop DiLorenzo said.
"The challenge of everyone here is to go out and invite those who are angry, upset and alienated from the Catholic Church and invite them to be with your religious family."
He encouraged the Korean lay faithful to reach out especially to young people and those who are unchurched.
"With today's gathering I am grateful to God and I thank you all very much for your presence and I look forward to meeting with you again soon."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's Nickolette Driesse was the recipient of some good news this week as she found out that she will represent the United States at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, being held in Edmonton, Montreal, Moncton and Toronto, Canada, from August 5-24.
Driesse was one of 21 players named to the final roster which was announced by U-20 National Team head coach Michelle French.
The Wayne, N.J., native made 28 appearances with 27 starts in her first season at Florida State and was the only Seminole freshman to play in all 28 games in 2013. She finished her freshman campaign with seven assists – tied for the third most on the team and tied for the fifth most in a single-season by a Seminole freshman. For her efforts, Driesse went on to earn on a spot on the All-ACC Freshman Team and was named to Soccer America's All-Freshman first team.
All three of the USA's group games will be broadcast live across the ESPN platforms. The U.S. plays its first two Group B matches at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, opening the tournament on August 5 against Germany at 5 p.m. local (7 p.m. ET on ESPNU and WatchESPN) before facing Brazil on August 8 at 8 p.m. local (10 p.m. ET on ESPNU and WatchESPN).
The USA will finish group play on August 12 against China PR at Moncton Stadium with kickoff at 5 p.m. local (4 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and WatchESPN). The USA and Germany played in the finals of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Tokyo in 2012.

Dear American Girl,
I would like to start raising money for a charity that I care about, but I don't know where to start. I want to make a difference in the world, and I think collecting donations for this cause would be a great way to do that. But I'm just one girl! Does anyone have ideas for how I can raise money and help this charity in a big way?
Here's your advice:
Start by doing something simple. Ask an adult if you could make ice pops or lemonade and sell them to people at a stand in your neighborhood. If people know you are raising money for charity, they might be more willing to buy something, so don't forget to make a sign that explains your cause.
-Erin, age 11, Michigan
I wanted to raise money to buy puzzles for patients in the children's ward in a local hospital. Even a small thing like a puzzle can make a big difference to somebody. I asked friends and family to donate, and I gave out handmade bracelets to those who donated. I attached tags to the bracelets that thanked them.
-Jessica, age 13, Wisconsin
What are your interests? If you love pets, you could hold a dog wash. If you love baking, you could have a bake sale. Find something you love and go with it. And remember—have fun!
-Crystara, age 12, Texas
Spread the word and tell your friends and family about the cause you care about. Maybe when they have extra change or dollar bills, they could give the money to you. They also might tell their friends and family about it, and pretty soon you could be collecting donations from lots of people.
-Luna, age 11, New York
Ask a parent if you could hold a family garage sale and donate the proceeds to the charity you want to support. That way, your family could also get rid of lots of things that you don't need anymore.
-Avery, age 9, Indiana
You don't have to help a charity in a huge way—every little bit helps. You could donate some supplies. For example, if you want to help students in need, the charity would probably need pencils, notebooks, and erasers.
-Emily, age 13, Delaware
Get a group of friends together and tell them about your passion for this charity. Ask for your friends' help and think of ways to raise money. Then you'll have lots of people helping you.
-Bekah, age 12, New York
If you get an allowance, put aside part of it for the charity. You can also save money you receive from holidays and birthdays. If you save up, a small donation might become a big donation before you know it.
-Sarah, age 13, Ohio
I think you should talk to your parents and get some ideas from them. They can help you brainstorm ways to collect donations or help you contact the charity to ask how you can help.
-Katie, age 10, Wisconsin
Start your own business, such as babysitting or dog walking. Set prices and spread the word. Set aside the money you earn for the charity. It will take time, but keep on doing what you think is right.
-Madeline, age 11, Michigan
For your next birthday party, instead of asking for presents, ask for money or supplies to donate to this charity. It could be a great way to help.
-Bianca, age 10, Washington
Start out by doing kind deeds. Ask a parent if you can volunteer in your community, do nice things for neighbors, and help friends and family in other ways. Start small and work your way up to helping a charity in a big way.
-Julia, age 13, New Jersey
It's important to give back to the world, and it can start with just one person. Remember that while you cannot do everything, you can always do something. You may be able to give only small contributions now, but eventually others may join you in your cause.
-Iris, age 10, Michigan
You might be surprised at how much one girl can do to make a difference just by making a few tweaks. Do you get an allowance? Put some of it aside for donating. Do you have free time on the weekends? Look into attending a local walkathon or volunteering at a fund-raiser. Every little thing counts!
-Amelia, age 13, Washington

The Real Fake Car Job - Recap

Gabe Erickson is on the golf course when a landscaper, Kyle Davis, finds him and demands his money. As he advances on Erickson, two government agents tell Kyle to stay back. The agent in charge, Marshal Ellie Rose, tells Kyle that he's mistaken and the man he's attacking is Jim Cole. Kyle has no choice but to walk away.
Later, Kyle meets Nate at the restaurant and explains that Erickson wiped out his landscaping business and he was out of work until his buddy set him up at the golf course. He talks about how he and his family had built something they thought would last, but Erickson stole their investment money. Erickson was arrested a year ago on a $130 million stock scam but he hasn't been tried, and Nate wonders why he's out and free.
The team meets and Alec brings up the security footage from the golf course. Eliot confirms that the agents are Federal marshals and Erickson is in the witness protection program. Erickson was laundering money for the mob, specifically Don Paul Brancato. Nate explains that he created Mob ties so that when the SEC discovered his stock fraud, he'd have something to trade for immunity. Alec confirms that $50 million of the $130 is missing because Erickson stashed it before he was arrested. A government memo confirms that since Erickson was recognized, WitSec is moving him in less than a week. Sophie figures that if Erickson is careless enough that Kyle could find him, the mob can't be far behind. Nate says that they need to find out who is employing Erickson and the team splits up to check on him.
Erickson goes to his job at a book store pulls up to warn him not to make contact with anyone from his past. While he goes in, Eliot takes photos of him as he annoys the customers. Meanwhile, Nate and Sophie go over what Erickson had confiscated upon his arrest and realize that he collects vintage cars. Parker and Alec go to Erickson's current home and Alec taps into his DVR programming while Parker tosses Erickson's garbage into the van. They take it back to the restaurant and Alec sifts through it while Nate confirms that WitSec has Erickson on a tight leash. When Nate admits that he doesn't know if he could handle it and that he focuses on what's in front of him, Sophie is disappointed. Alec finds boxes for model cars and Nate suggests that they create a rare-car competition and sucker him in. To pull it off, they'll need a Packard 1934 Roadster Coupe. Alec says he can handle it and makes a quick escape, while Nate and Sophie wonder what kind of $50 million backup plan that Erickson has.
Later, Nate drives up in front of Erickson's bookstore in an expensive 1953 antique car. He confirms that Ellie isn't watching and then slips out the back to admire the car. Nate boasts about it and Erickson admits that he used to be an owner, but says that it's temporary. In response, Nate invites him to the first annual Portland Vintage competition and talks about how he keeps most of his cars offshore and ships them in himself for tax purposes. He gives Erickson his card and then checks in with Alec, who assures him that everything for the competition is set up thanks to Craigslist. They've sent the owner of the Packard they plan to steal on a free trip to Bora Bora to get him out of the way.
Back at the restaurant, Nate explains that even with his $50 million, Erickson can't buy the legendary Packard that belonged to Mussolini and disappeared after the war. They found one close enough match the basic description. Alec and Eliot prepare to break into the owner's house, a ten-hour drive away, and Alec warns that there are all kinds of security systems to disarm. They'll then sell the car to Erickson, he'll access his hidden stash, and Alec will trace the account and get the rest of the money. Meanwhile, Hardison bypasses the security device and admits he could never go back to an ordinary life, and Eliot suggests that he might want to talk to Parker and see if she agrees.
The car competition begins and Ellie reluctantly accompanies Erickson to the show. She insists on reminding him about the rules and he insists that he needs a life for at least a few minutes. Parker and Sophie stage a conversation near Erickson where Parker claims that her grandfather left her a classic Packard. Sophie directs her to another dealer while Nate distracts Ellie, claiming that she's a judge and asking her to look at his car. She grabs Nate's throat and goes after Erickson, who approaches Parker and asks about her grandfather's Packard. Parker talks about how he brought the car back from Europe after the war and Erickson eagerly offers to look at it. She gives in and takes him to the nearby barn where she has it. Meanwhile, Alec and Eliot are working to turn the new car into a relic. Once they're done, they quickly get out.
Erickson examines the car and notices that some of the pieces have been restored. Nate advises Parker over the earbud to push the car and she talks about how someone important gave her grandfather the car. Her grandmother mentioned "the Palace" and Nate tells her to push some Italian names. Sophie advises not to push it, and they talk about Nate's view of the future and how he's still motivated by the past. She hopes that someday he can put his past behind him without or without her.
Erickson continues admiring the car and offers to buy it from Parker, downplaying the quality. He offers to do some research and come back later and make a fair offer. Nate goes to work and has Alec start putting down some history while Sophie and Eliot keep Ellie distracted.
Ellie is at Erickson's home calling and telling him to come back when Eliot and Sophie come by, claiming to be their new next-door neighbors. They mistake Ellie for Erickson's wife and she tries to get rid of them, and Sophie gives her a fruitcake while Eliot inspects the security system. Ellie slams the door on them but looks through the peephole and sees Sophie peering inside. The marshal then tosses out the fruitcake but keeps the bugged tray.
When Erickson returns home, Ellie demands to know where he's been and reminds him that they're to stay together at all times. As Alec and Parker listen in, he starts talking about retirement and Parker says she could never retire. He insists that he couldn't either and Parker agrees that they're on the same page. Alec realizes that Eliot told her about the early conversation. Meanwhile, Ellie warns that she never saw Eliot and Sophie move in and that their house is empty. She figures they may be hitmen but Erickson doesn't want to hear it. As he goes to his job, Ellie secretly activates the GPS tracker on Erickson's phone and gives it to him.
Alec monitors Erickson at the bookstore and taps his laptop, sending him the fake info on the car's history. Erickson soon calls the granddaughter of the car's builder in Italy and Nate has Alec divert the call. Sophie takes the call and leaves an answering machine message in Italy, and Erickson calls his friend Charlie in Manhattan. He asks Charlie to give him everything on the Mussolini Packard and Charlie nervously admits that he doesn't know much. He asks Erickson where he found it and Erickson admits that he found it in Portland. Erickson then calls Parker and offers cash for the car. He leaves with a bag containing $150,000 and Alec spots him and wonders how he got the money when he didn't access any accounts. Nate figures that Erickson has been scamming the customers at the bookstore by charging for the free wireless, and tells Alec to go to the barn and pretend to be a rival bidder so they can raise the price beyond what Erickson has in his cache. Meanwhile, Sophie and Eliot continue distracting Ellie.
When Erickson gets to the barn, Parker tells him about the rival bidder as Alec arrives.
As Ellie tracks Erickson's location, she spots Eliot and Sophie nearby. They drive past and wave.
Alec explains that he's an avant-garde artist and plans to take the car apart for parts for his sculptures. A panicky Erickson starts bidding and Alec bids up to $750,000 before dropping out. He then calls his bank for the extra $600,000 and they get the passwords from the phone tap. Alec confirms that he's leaving a recording on an Internet voicemail. Until they can get a bank location, the passwords are useless. Erickson then calls Nate to ship his new car.
Sophie and Eliot go to the hardware store and buy plastic bags, axes, and digging tools. Ellie is watching them from across the lot. Sophie asks what Eliot plans to do once he retires and he admits that he had hoped to open a restaurant. They then drive out to a field and dig a hole, and Eliot discusses corpse-hiding techniques. Sophie asks who he thinks would best cope with being an ordinary person, and he insists that he would. Meanwhile, Ellie gets word of Erickson's $600,000 transfer and figures that he's the one who hired them. She takes off and calls the Portland police.
At the docks, Nate is waiting with the car at a warehouse and Parker and Alec are on their way. Nate then leaves a message on Erickson's asking where he is.
The police arrive to arrest Eliot and Sophie, and they realize that Ellie has slipped away. They quickly take off and call to warn Nate... just as Ellie draws a gun on him. She handcuffs Nate to a chair and explains that she figured that Erickson hired Sophie and Eliot to kill her. Erickson arrives and wonders what she's talking about. While Eliot and Sophie try to outrun the police, Alec tells Nate that they're on their way.
Erickson insists that he didn't hire anyone, and Nate explains that Erickson bought the car and hired him to ship it. She punches Erickson and complains that she didn't sell out the government just for Erickson to blow everything on a car. He reminds her that he paid her $5 million to get him out of the country after he testified, but she won't collect for two years. Ellie complains that now the government will find his hidden money and prepares to shoot him. Erickson says that if she shoots him then it will look like she screwed up her assignment, and Nate points out that with Erickson dead Ellie won't get her $5 million. Ellie decides to shoot Nate and use his corpse to fake Erickson's death and get Erickson out of the country so she can collect her money.
As Parker and Alec head for the warehouse, Nate whispers for them to get there quickly and bring in some of Alec's orange soda. He then starts giving them advice on how Erickson is in a transition period and echoes Sophie's advice to stop looking to the past. Sirens sound in the distance and Nate tells Ellie to think about the present. Meanwhile, Parker and Alec sneak in and spot mobster Brancato and his men. They traced Erickson via Charlie and are there to kill Erickson.
Eliot and Sophie head for the warehouse with the cops still on their tail. As Erickson and Ellie argue over whether to release Nate so the cops don't think he's their hostage, Brancato and his men come in. When they got to Portland, they traced Erickson's phone via the GPS that Ellie turned on. Erickson is ready to shoot them but trips over the bag of money and fires a shot into the ceiling, knocking out the lights. Everyone hides and goes for their guns, and Alec pulls Nate out of the way and frees him. Nate then empties out the soda bottle and starts filling it with vegetable from the nearby tanks. Eliot and Sophie come in and Eliot starts taking out the mobsters, while Sophie tells Nate that the exit will be clear in five minutes.
As he works, Nate explains that older cars ran on vegetable oil and that they'll drive the Packard out. While they head for the car, Erickson makes a run for it and Brancato chases after them. Ellie grabs the bag of money and runs off. Erickson offers Brancato the entire $50 million from his Cayman Island account and Nate overhears him as he starts up the car. They drive off and Erickson is forced to dive out of the way, and Eliot and Sophie open the exit door and walk out after the Packard. The police arrive and arrest Erickson, while Brancato sneaks out.
Later at the vintage car competition, Nate meets with Brancato and explains that they recovered the $50 million. He explains that they want to return the money to Erickson's victims and Brancato says that he doesn't want the money and doesn't want to cause trouble with Nate. When he asks about Ellie, Nate says that he'll take care of her.
At the airport, Ellie is heading out of the country when FBI agents arrest her, search her bag, and find the $600,000... along with Erickson's phone and the activated GPS tracker they used to find her.
Nate asks Brancato to leave Erickson alone in the prison. The mobster wants Erickson dead, but Nate explains that Erickson is losing his immunity and will go to jail. He figures the best revenge is letting Erickson suffer in prison. Brancato admits that his organization lost sight of the fact that they were originally established to enforce law when the police couldn't and agrees to Nate's plan.
Later, Nate meets with Kyle and gives him his money, and the landscaper says that he's looking forward to the hard work as long as he can come home to the people that care about him. Once he leaves, Alec tells Nate that they returned the car and wonders how Nate predicted all five things that had to work for the con to come off as planned. Nate admits that he only planned three but refuses to tell him which three. He then joins Sophie at the bar and she mentions what he said about putting the past behind him. He says that she was wrong about one thing: he does want her with him when he gets over the past.

One Region: Improving the quality of Life in Northwest Indiana, represents the merger of two civic organizations devoted to improving life in Northwest Indiana.
The Quality of Life Council, founded 20 years ago by leaders of the region's institutions of higher learning, and the One Region: One Vision initiative, launched five years ago by The Times Media Co., have become One Region: Improving the quality of Life in Northwest Indiana.
Thomas Keon, chancellor of Purdue University Northwest, and Chris White, publisher of The Times Media Co., serve as co-chairmen of the group.
The action oriented group will continue programs developed by the One Region initiative. These range from a regional healthcare council to a mayors' roundtable to revitalization of the region's urban core.
The quarterly discussion of issues impacting Northwest Indiana held by the Quality of Life Council will continue under the guidance of a program committee.
The organization is governed by a 17-member board. Those who served on boards of the former groups will also make up an advisory council.

Mesa Public Schools officials have streamlined the process for dealing with teachers who are deemed "ineffective" in the classroom by their principals.
The district governing board voted, 4-1, on Tuesday to approve a new policy that reduces the number of people evaluating a teacher and the number of evaluations required before the teacher is put on a corrective program or fired.
Superintendent Michael Cowan called the new evaluation process "a system that business, industry and just about every other district in the nation follows."
Board member Mike Hughes voted against the policy change. It also was opposed by the Mesa Professional Educators, a teachers organization, which said the new evaluation system would remove "safeguards" that protect teachers from unfair dismissals.
"We are talking about careers, careers that teachers spend years preparing for," the organization's president, Kelly Higgins, said in a letter to the board before the vote.
"If a principal terminates a teacher for inadequate performance, that teacher's career is over."
In the past, teachers considered failing to perform have been observed by their principals and at least two other evaluators. Typically, nine to 12 observations are made before the teacher is dismissed for poor performance. Higgins suggested that the new policy allow a teacher to be evaluated by at least two observers but to cut the number of observations in half.
The Mesa Education Association, another teachers organization that is a branch of the National Education Association, said it has no objection to the new policy.
Fewer than 20 of the district's 4,000-plus teachers were identified as ineffective last year, and most of them resigned before going through the series of observations, said Pete Lesar, assistant superintendent for human resources.
He has said he expects at least 85percent of Mesa teachers to be rated "highly effective" or "effective" this year. Teachers will receive one of four ratings — highly effective, effective, developing or ineffective — based on their teaching skills, how well their students perform on standardized tests, and whether their schools achieve overall goals set by the principal and staff.
"This process is not done haphazardly," Superintendent Michael Cowan said. "Historically, we have a very low percentage of teachers that we identify as inadequate."
Cowan and Lesar told the board they were requesting the policy change because Mesa principals have started giving teachers more lengthy and comprehensive reviews under a new state-mandated system.
It requires that all teachers, even those who have been teaching for years, receive annual evaluations.
"This new evaluation system is a much more comprehensive system than the one we were using before, and it is evidence-based," Cowan said.
Mesa teachers would get their first formal ratings at the end of the school year under the new system.
Before this school year, principals were trained to track teacher performance, Lesar said.
Under the new policy, a teacher who is deemed ineffective will be put on a "growth plan" by the principal and the assistant superintendent in charge of the teacher's school.
A teacher found to be ineffective at the end of all evaluations would be given at least 60 working days to improve.

March, 6 2009, Fargo, ND—Five years ago most people had never heard the word "acai," and they certainly didn't know how it could benefit them. Today news of acai has generated a wave of excitement for millions of Americans concerned about feeling healthy and energetic. Now acai is known as one of nature's superfoods that supports energy and vitality.
Acai (ah-sigh-ee) grows on specific palm trees native to Central and South America. The fruit is about the size of a grape and provides a variety of healthy polyphenols such as the proanthocyanidins found in pine bark and grape seed extract, and the resveratrol associated with red wine, making it a valuable antioxidant. Acai also contains a significant amount of essential fatty acids making it one of few fruits containing omega-3s.
Swanson Vitamins now offers Acai Berry Extract 500mg in softgel form 60 softgels for only $4.99. Swanson Vitamins also offers Acai in liquid and capsule form and carries national brands Nutiva, Country Life and Alacer's Emer'gen-C.

Uncharted Creative Director Leaves Naughty Dog - NewsNick Pantazis, posted on 05 March 2014 / 2,466 Views
Amy Hennig, the creative director and writer behind all three previous Uncharted games has left Naughty Dog after 10 years with the studio according to IGN. Hennig was in the process of developing Uncharted 4 when she left.
IGN's sources claim that Hennig was forced out in an internal conflict by The Last of Us lead designer Neil Druckmann and game director Bruce Staley. They will apparently take over development of Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog did not confirm the circumstances involved in her departure.
Amy Hennig was one of the few prominent women in the industry. She was named one of the ten most powerful women in gaming by Fortune, and her work has been instrumental to the success of Naughty Dog. She is also the winner of two Writers Guild of America awards for her work on the previous two Uncharted titles. It likely will not be long before such a prominent industry talent is snatched up again.

The two teams took different approaches, but ended up with the same result this year: disappointment.
Two teams, one in each league, are in particular disarray right now.
One is the Miami Marlins, who "won" the winter with a wild spending spree fueled by anticipated revenue from a new ballpark. In the words of team president David Samson to the media this week, "We paraded around Dallas (during the winter meetings). We signed those guys. We opened a new ballpark. We said, 'We're all in.' "
And now they're all out. After spending $190 million on free agents Jose Reyes, Heath Bell and Mark Buehrle, after nearly doubling their payroll from $56.9 million to $112.1 million (eighth-highest in baseball, according to the compilation by The Associated Press), after hiring charismatic manager Ozzie Guillen to lead them, the Marlins have fallen apart.
And have been torn apart. The Marlins dealt six players in four trades last month, including third baseman Hanley Ramirez, one of their supposed cornerstones, for prospects. Also heading out the door were second baseman Omar Infante, starter Anibal Sanchez, relievers Randy Choate and Edward Mujica, and first baseman Gaby Sanchez.

Most Read Stories
They reached the weekend 11 games under .500, in last place in the NL East, 19 games out of first and 12 ½ out of the second wild card.
And now Samson, in a rare mea culpa with reporters this past week, is admitting that jobs are on the line — his own, and the rest of the baseball people. Of owner Jeffrey Loria, Samson said in The Palm Beach Post, "He's angry, and he should be … Jeffrey is going to look at everything from me to Larry (Beinfest, president of baseball operations) to Mike (Hill, general manager) to Ozzie (Guillen) to (equipment manager) John Silverman."
The other free-falling team is the Cleveland Indians, who have made their attempt at contention in a different manner — through a slow, meticulous rebuild with sabermetric smarts. They've also tried to identify the key young pieces and lock them up long-term (a strategy used so brilliantly by the Indians during their domination from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s).
It worked for a while this year (just like it did last year, when the Indians were in first as late as July 18, only to finish 15 games out).
On July 26 of this year, the Indians were only 3 ½ games out of first in the AL Central. But then they hit a disastrous stretch of 11 straight losses in which they were outscored 95-35 and put up a 10.44 earned-run average from their starting pitchers. Suddenly, the Indians find themselves hopelessly out of contention and, like the Marlins, struggling to figure out what went wrong.
Cleveland CEO Paul Dolan told The Cleveland Plain Dealer this week, "I have never seen a season unravel like that in such a short stretch. Our pitching just collapsed. It was so painful."
The Indians rank last in the majors in average attendance, and the financial outlook is bleak. The Indians have promised to spend "when the time is right" (sound familiar?), but it's doubtful that time will be next year, according to Plain Dealer columnist Terry Pluto.
The lesson — and it's a familiar one — is that there is no surefire way to build a winning baseball team, except one: Smart decisions, whether those decisions be on draft choices, on trades, or on free-agent signings.
Yes, spending money certainly helps, but the Marlins are Case Study No. 428 that spending alone doesn't not ensure success. It was a lesson the Mariners learned in 2008, with their infamous 100-loss, $100 million payroll combination, and one that countless teams have been hit in the head with in the past.
And the Indians are Case Study No. 823 that pure rebuilding is fraught with peril, and a method that leaves no margin for error. When you trade two Cy Young pitchers like Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia and have hardly anything to show for all the prospects received, and when key players like Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner are wiped out by injury, well, trouble is inevitable.
The optimal way to build, of course, is with money AND smarts. Let's call that the Yankees way — because for all the stereotyping about the Yankees buying pennants, they have also had a fruitful farm system, along with a commitment to keeping their youngsters that solidified in the latter years of George Steinbrenner, when he ceased to be a meddling presence. The Yankees have also embraced sabermetric principles of team-building, with the essential advantage of being able to absorb occasional mistakes. The result: 16 playoff berths in the last 17 years, with another one coming this season.
Right now, according to the AP payroll list, three teams in the top 10 of spending would make the playoffs if the season had ended on Friday (the No. 1 Yankees, No. 5 Tigers and No. 6 Rangers). Five teams in the middle 10 would make it (No. 11 White Sox, No. 16 Braves, No. 17 Reds, No. 19 Nationals and No. 20 Orioles). One team from the bottom 10 would make it (No. 26 Pirates). Plus, the No. 7 Giants and No. 12 Dodgers are separated by a half-game for the NL West lead. Still hanging within one game of a playoff berth are the No. 4 Angels, No. 25 Rays and No. 30 A's.
It's a mixed bag of spending and building philosophies, all united by one factor: They made good decisions on personnel (although in some cases, most notably the Pirates, their acuity came only after numerous years of making very bad decisions).
I believe the time has come for the Mariners to augment their building plan with some established veterans (because it's becoming apparent that they can't do it just with the hitters they have in the system).
But it won't be the mere act of spending that will lead them out of the wilderness. It will take vision, acumen and, finally, luck. As Samson said of the Marlins, "What we did was exactly right, but it was wrong."
It's an occupational hazard.

Rate increase for BGE customers starts Feb. 23
Baltimore Gas and Electric customers will see an increase in their gas and electric bills starting February 23. The new rates are aimed at promoting safety and reliability.
On February 22, the Maryland Public Service Commission announced that they have granted approximately 65 percent of BGE's requested increase for gas and electric rates.
For an average residential electricity customer, they will see a 2.6 percent increase in the overall bill, or about $3.33 per month. An average gas customer will see a 4.26 percent increase in the overall bill, or about $2.70 per month.
The majority of the approved expenses are related to additional infrastructure spending and state-mandated safety and reliability projects.

The mainly self-inflicted woes of the Catholic Church continue unabated. Seriously discredited by the ongoing revelations of child abuse all over the world, it is now under relentless attack from those who would love to destroy it. The protests of the many devout Catholics who try to remind of us of all the good done by the Church over the centuries fall on deaf ears. The old proverb (Ecclesiastes 10:1) is proved true:
"As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honour."
('folly' here refers to moral failure, not mere foolishness)
In the eyes of the Church's critics, no amount of 'good works' can make up for the exploitation and betrayal of the young on such a vast scale. Child abuse of this extent can hardly be described as "a little folly" – it's more of an elephant than a fly! The Church's response has been too slow and too feeble to satisfy either the victims or those looking on from the outside. An organisation of vast size and antiquity, it seems to be somewhat less manoeuvrable than an oil tanker heading for the rocks.
Who or what is to blame? Not Christianity itself – the Bible's moral code clearly prohibits all sex outside marriage. Something has gone seriously wrong in a church whose representatives have managed to convince themselves that such behaviour is permissible, and whose leaders are unable to take decisive action. It is tempting to point the finger at the enforced celibacy of the Catholic priesthood, but I think that's an over-simplification: many 'secular' paedophiles have wives or girl-friends. I suspect that it probably has more to do with the strong hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church (more so than in other denominations): the priesthood has had too much power relative to the laity. I realise that things have begun to change during the last few decades, but the Catholic Church still seems to give the impression that the Pope and the priesthood know best, and the ordinary church members must believe – and do – as they are told. When such acquiescence from below is combined with arrogance and a lack of accountability from above, a situation is created where abuse becomes all too possible – and if it's possible, then sooner or later it will happen. Absolute power, as we know, corrupts.

I say start Mike Smith and Mark Currie.
Put them on Beasley and Walker.
The rest will be history.
If these 2 guys do start I doubt we can afford to have them in very long.
Go Cubs Go!
We could use them as hitmen, ala Tim Floyd.
Yeah well, ya know, that's just, like uh, your opinion, man.
I read somewhere that GMac doesn't believe in starting Seniors symbolically for Senior Day. It's not gonna happen. I bet they don't see the floor unless we are significantly ahead or behind.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
I think they will see the floor, but not for long.
I think they should start too, that will really get the crowd going, especially if they make a great hustle play or even score. Who was it 2 or 3 years ago that started and scored like 4 pts. in the first 2 minutes, I remember the crowd was going insane! We could really use that this afternoon.

They are not starting. It's being treated like a normal game. Currie has seen limited minutes in the last couple games I believe, so maybe we will see him a little bit.
McD has said publicly that he will not start Seniors just because they are seniors....these guys will Not start....

PR2 Problems
- 1 PR2 Problem Timeline (2014- )
- 2 OLD (Pre-2014)
PR2 Problem Timeline (2014- )
- [GATSBII] 9 MAY 2016 - Errors from realtime loop using too much time in the past 30 seconds, halting motors. Bizarre + scary behavior (weird motions, buzzing noises) when running pr2-systemcheck with robot running. realtime loop not immediately helped by power-cycle. Opened ticket with clearpath, but issue resolved after some time, for no apparent reason.
- [GATSBII] 6 MAY 2016 - Errors from realtime loop using too much time in the past 30 seconds, halting motors. Did not respond to robot start, but fixed after power cycle.
- [Monty] 1/4/2016 - The PR2 became unresponsive over wired ethernet, but remained accessible via wireless (MontyLAN), similar to prior incidents. FIXED by running 'sudo service wg-openvpn restart' on Monty (after logging in via wireless).
- [Monty] 11/5/2015 - The PR2 became unresponsive over the wired ethernet connection, but remained responsive over the wireless connection. A full power cycle seems to have fixed the problem. (Megan)
- [Monty] 10/3/2015 - The PR2 became unresponsive over the wired ethernet connection, but remained responsive over the wireless connection. A full power cycle seems to have fixed the problem. (Megan)
- [Monty] 9/25/2015 and 9/28/2015 - The PR2 became unresponsive over the wired ethernet connection, but remained responsive over the wireless connection. A full power cycle seems to have fixed the problem both times (Megan, Phil).
- [Gatsbii] 6/29/2015 - The PR2's internal router is unresponsive again (10.68.0.5 does not respond). A full power cycle was required.
- [Gatsbii] 6/26/2015 - The PR2's internal router appears unresponsive and hence the kinect was unable to publish any data. As suggested by Phil, this required a full power cycle of Gatsbii.
- [Gatsbii] 6/25/2015 - Zackory and Daehyung notice that EtherCat halts motors continuously due to a low frequency. Problem fixed itself after rebooting PR2 and about 20 minutes of waiting.
- [Gatsbii] 5/29/2015 - Megan sees same problem as 5/22 with router not responding and losing kinect data again. Power cycling seems to have fixed it.
- [Gatsbii] 5/22/2015 - Phil sees problem with router not responding and so losing kinect data again.
- [Gatsbii] 3/13/2015 - Kat Graf reported that the WAN port had fallen inside the robot. Phil and Kat repaired, per service instructions originally from Willow on the service wiki. Problems was fixed, no ticket needed to be filed. (Phil)
- [Gatsbii] 2/13/2015 - After installing the Kinect2 backpack from Clearpath, which connects to the robot's internal network via an ethernet cable to the wireless router in the back of the robot, on occasion it seems that the router fails. It can be pinged, but does not present it's web configuration interface @ 10.68.0.5, and does not give an address to the backpack on the internal network, so the kinect cannot be used. Power-cycling seems to have fixed the problem on one occasion. On a second occasion, the situation resolved itself when the robot was moved a short distance with the joystick. Possibly random coincidence, possibly a faulty connection? (Phil, Ari)
- Other Occurrences: 2/27/2015 (GATSBII) - Fixed on power-cycle after ~20 minutes, 3/4/2015 - Power Cycle
- [Monty] 12/11/2014 - One morning we found that a relatively high pitched fan noise was coming from the front vent on the base of our PR2. Higher pitched than usual fan noises. We felt the air coming from the front vent was also warmer than usual. We checked processes on the robot and found 4-5 processes were running using 14-30% cpu each. We ran a robot start to clear those processes. The noise did not subside within 10 minutes so we shut the robot down. Cleaned intake vent. Restarted the robot the next day. No abnormal noises upon start up. (Ari)
- [Monty] 10/1/2014 - Megan reported that Monty dashboard showed motors and breakers greyed out and unresponsive, with a warning in the dashboard under power system stating 'base fan off,' despite the fact that the base fans could be heard running. Phil recorded bag files in this condition, and attempted robot start while recording a second bag file. The did not fix the problem. After power-cycling the robot, the issue appears resolved, and Monty is operating normally. (Phil)
- [Gatsbii] 9/30/2014 - After logging in to Gatsbii, the dashboard showed all breakers and motors greyed out and unresponsive (computers were running normally). Robot start did not correct this. After power-cycling the robot, the items returned to the dashboard, but the motors could not be reset, and were halted due to 'Service Request'. Recorded bag files from robot start, including trying to reset the motors by flipping run-stop, using the dashboard interface, and by calling pr2_etherCAT/halt_motors and pr2_etherCAT/reset_motors services from command line (none of which had any effect). Filed ticket with Clearpath with attached bag file. (Phil)
- [Monty] 8/12/2014 - Unable to connect to Monty via WAN. Unable to ping monty1.hsi.gatech.edu. Was able to connect to Monty wirelessly, shut it down and restart successfully. Afterwards was able to connect to Monty via WAN again. (Megan)
- [Monty] 7/31/2014 - Unable to connect to Monty via WAN. Unable to ping monty1.hsi.gatech.edu. Was able to connect to Monty wirelessly, shut it down and restart successfully. Afterwards was able to connect to Monty via WAN again. (Megan)
- [Monty] 7/9/2014 - All controllers go down. Breakers are greyed out on the dash board and error messages show that the voltage was low. 'robot start' did not fix the problem but a full power cycle seems to have fixed the problem. (Chris)
- [Monty] 5/20/2014 - Right arm camera driver is down. This has happened sporadically over the past week or so, and has previously been fixed by running 'robot start.' This has just failed to solve the problem. Error reported indicates "Driver State: CLOSED; Latest status message: Matching URL name://email@example.com : No cameras matched the URL." Perhaps a physical connectivity issue with the camera? There seem to be lights on on the back of the camera board (matching the working left arm)." pr2-systemcheck returns "Running 'c1/checkwge100.sh'... \\ FAIL (Return code: 1) Unable to find cameras: forearm_r." Problem did resolve with power-cycle, but should keep a close eye on this. (Phil)
- [Monty] 5/20/2014 - Fixed WAN port connection which had come loose from the mounting bracket, per instructions for WAN port repair on WG support site. (Phil)
- [Monty] 3/18/2014 - Computer crash? Motors disengaged, computers unresponsive to ping or ssh via WAN, pingable, but no ssh over wireless. Hard restart (red breaker). Repeated ~10 minutes after start-up (got through calibration successfully). [Phil, Tapo]
- [Monty] Back Right Caster - Dropping Packets, causes RT Loop to stop motors (occurring since ~Dec 2013, frequency increasing.) Contacted Clearpath via Ticket for replacement caster.
- [GATSBII] 3/20/2014 - Per Tucker Hermans and Hai Nguyen, batteries are almost completely shot, Hai was getting ~15-20 minutes of use at last use (~summer 2013?). Phil found the robot powered off in Aware Home, and after starting up, observed approx. 90 seconds of battery life for robot. Dashboard gives no evidence of charging (only some battery modules claim to be charging, after 24 hours plugged in dashboard shows 0% charged, 0 minutes to full charge). This may make it difficult to move the robot for any period when not plugged in. Ticket filed with Clearpath. [Phil]
- [Monty] 3/21/2014 - Robot was used unplugged intentionally to test real-world battery life. Estimated time was 150 minutes at 98% charged when beginning. Under light-moderate load on c1 (very limited physical movement), battery decreased to ~50% in 70 minutes, estimated time showed ~80 minutes. After this point, the base was driven a limited amount (~30s in 2-5s moves over ~2 minutes (adjusting position)), and shortly thereafter the robot powered off, as if the batteries were dead (both computers shut down, lights off, etc.). Robot was plugged back in, restarted (normally), and reported 54% battery life once restarted. Ticked filed with ClearPath. [Phil]
OLD (Pre-2014)
Robot Unresponsiveness
C2 Goes Down
10/19/2011 (Hai) 10/19/2011 (Kelsey x 2)
Completely Unresponsive
Computers cannot be contacted by any means, attempts to log in through wireless, service port, and LAN are all unsuccessful. Additionally, the wireless router does not seem to be broadcasting a signal. The robot shows little signs of activity aside from lights and fans. Only fixed through hard boot.
Occurrences: 6/30/11 (Gatsbii) - Kelsey, 7/7/11 (Gatsbii) - Kelsey, 7/7/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey, 8/9/11 Morning (Gatsbii) - HFA, 8/9/11 Evening (Gatsbii) - Kelsey, 9/6/11 (Gatsbii) - Kelsey, 9/6/11 (New PR2) - Tucker, 11/15/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey/Phil, 6/7/12 (Gatsbii)
- Related to networking? Hostnames unresponsive to DNS queries for all computers - coincidence? Also infrequent yet will occur frequently in a small time frame (across both robots in one instance).
Network Failure
Similarly, on a number of occasions, the network connections seem to largely fail, allowing burst of communication every 5-10 seconds. pr2-systemcheck shows 'all/vpnconnectivity/sh...' FAIL (Return code: 1), and the only evident solution appears to be power-cycling the robot. Wireless does still work in this situation, however.
Occurrences: 3-4 times before 7/19/11 (New PR2) - Phil, 7/19/11 (New PR2) - Phil, 7/26/11 (New PR2) - Phil
Occasionally a substantial number of diagnostic messages go idle, and the robot becomes impossible to control through teleop or other control schemes. The computers are still active though and a robot stop and start usually fixes this.
Occurrences: 6/22/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey, 6/27/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey
Motor Breakers Activate on Controller Switch
Sometimes when switching the controllers the breakers will activate, stopping the arms. Reseting the breakers fixes this.
Occurrences: 6/27/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey, 6/28/11 (New PR2) - Kelsey
- If the starting code in the controller loaded takes more time than the realtime loop allows, the motors will stop.
Ethercat / Real-time controllers Down
Logged in and robot was operating slowly and no diagnostic information was being communicated about ethercat devices and the real-time controllers. pr2-systemcheck gave an error when comunicating to the ethercat network. robot stop && robot start did not fix the problem. pr2-shutdown --reboot fixed the issue.
Occurences: 3 July 2012 (Gatsbii) - Tucker

Labor in the Era of Globalizationby Clair Brown Barry Eichengreen Michael Reich
The third quarter of the twentieth century was a golden age for labor in the advanced industrial countries, characterized by rising incomes, relatively egalitarian wage structures, and reasonable levels of job security. The subsequent quarter-century has seen less positive performance along a number of these dimensions. This period has instead been marked by rapid globalization of economic activity that has brought increased insecurity to workers. The contributors to this volume, prominent scholars from the United States, Europe, and Japan, distinguish four explanations for this historic shift. These include 1) rapid development of new technologies; 2) global competition for both business and labor; 3) deregulation of industry with more reliance on markets; and 4) increased immigration of workers, especially unskilled workers, from developing countries. In addition to analyzing the causes of these trends, the contributors also investigate important consequences, ranging from changes in collective bargaining and employment relations to family formation decisions and incarceration policy.
When Mandates Workby Michael Reich Miranda Dietz Ken Jacobs
Starting in the 1990s, San Francisco launched a series of bold but relatively unknown public policy experiments to improve wages and benefits for thousands of local workers. Since then, scholars have documented the effects of those policies on compensation, productivity, job creation, and health coverage. Opponents predicted a range of negative impacts, but the evidence tells a decidedly different tale. This book brings together that evidence for the first time, reviews it as a whole, and considers its lessons for local, state, and federal policymakers.

Seen and noted (with cats)
On the positive side, I find I'm classed as a "Rational Religious Blog" (one of only two!) by EnglishEclectic, for instance, and I'm also on the links list of a number of other blogs of people I've never met. (Admittedly, while some are my friends, a liking for paternoster beads is probably the only thing I have in common with a few of the others!)
My posts also occasionally get picked up by historical blog "carnivals" -- a Blog Carnival being a listing of other blogs' recent articles of interest on a particular topic. This rosary is shot, for instance, is noted in Carnivalesque XX. (Irrelevant note: the names of the other participating blogs in such carnivals are an additional source of amusement.)
Speaking of amusement, my current favorite discovery -- and this is related to rosaries, however vaguely, I promise! -- is one of the comments to this post, which mentions both my sites favorably. Now, you may not think that rosaries have anything to do with cats... but if you are owned by a cat (as I am), you will quickly be reminded that cats are interested in everything!
The comments, unfortunately, don't have e-mail links, so I couldn't ask permission to re-post this.
"Kasia" writes:
Furthermore, I have two sweet but mischievous cats who are very enthusiastic about 'helping' me pray the Rosary! ("Ooo, look what you have! That looks like a GREAT toy!" *bat* *bat* *bite* etc.) Praying [the rosary] in front of the computer does lose something of the beauty and meditative quality of using the beads, but it's better than (a) not saying it at all, and (b) fending off the 'helpers'. It's far more meditative for me to pray in front of a screen than to be continually shoving a 20-lb cat out of the room:
"Hail Mary, full of - Hey, cut that out! - grace, the Lord is - Cat, would you please stop trying to eat the crucifix? - with Thee, blesse - Blessed Heaven, would you stop...OW! No claws! NO CLAWS!...where's the spritz bottle?..."

I need to strip out a few invalid characters from a string and wrote the following code part of a StringUtil library:
public static String removeBlockedCharacters(String data) {
if (data==null) {
return data;
return data.replaceAll("(?i)[<|>|\u003C|\u003E]", "");
I have a test file illegalCharacter.txt with one line in it:
hello \u003c here < and > there
I run the following unit test:
public void testBlockedCharactersRemoval() throws IOException{
checkEquals(StringUtil.removeBlockedCharacters("a < b > c\u003e\u003E\u003c\u003C"), "a b c");
log.info("Procesing from string directly: " + StringUtil.removeBlockedCharacters("hello \u003c here < and > there"));
log.info("Procesing from file to string: " + StringUtil.removeBlockedCharacters(FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("src/test/resources/illegalCharacters.txt"))));
I get:
INFO - 2010-09-14 13:37:36,111 - TestStringUtil.testBlockedCharactersRemoval(36) | Procesing from string directly: hello here and there
INFO - 2010-09-14 13:37:36,126 - TestStringUtil.testBlockedCharactersRemoval(37) | Procesing from file to string: hello \u003c here and there
I am VERY confused: as you can see, the code properly strips out the '<', '>', and '\u003c' if I pass a string containing these values but it fails to strip out '\u003c' if I read from a file containing the same string.
My questions, so that I stop loosing hair over it, are:
- Why do I get this behavior?
- How can I change my code to properly strip \u003c in all occasions?

The most important consideration you should have, when choosing your instructor, is that you have confidence in them and their ability to teach you. Here we highlight some things for you to consider when choosing your instructor.
Presentation of the vehicle and of the Instructor - An instructor that is well presented, a car that is clean and in good working order will speak volumes about the type of instructor they are. Do they match up to your standards?
Does the school offer the choice of male or female instructors? – Generally speaking, a good instructor is a good instructor and their gender should not be of major concern. Of course there are always circumstances, where for one reason or another, you may feel more comfortable with a lady instructor. There are definitely fewer around in Sydney, but they do exist. If you really feel you need a female instructor, ask the school when making the booking if they have lady instructors. Be patient – it may take some time to find one!
Which test center you would take your test in? - Does the instructor that you are considering using take many pupils to test at your local test center, or the one you want to use. Your instructor will be able to give you valuable insight on the test and potential hazards on routes around yours.
How much do they charge per hour? - Is the instructor affordable to you, or is the amount they charge a valuable investment in your future.
Do they offer discounts on block booking? – Many instructors will offer discounts if you book a block of lessons at once. This is a great way to save money and guarantee your lessons happen in a timely fashion.
Do you get a full hour/2 hour lesson? - Are you picked up at the start of your driving lesson and finish your lesson at the end of the hour (or 2 hours). You will be surprised how many instructors do not always do this.
Do they do evening/weekend lessons? – Is your life too busy to accommodate lessons during normal work hours.

Two hundred years ago, the coyote was a creature of the American prairie, known only from west of the Mississippi and east of the Rockies. Nowadays, it is firmly established from coast to coast. And coyote can be found from above the Arctic Circle in Alaska all the way down to Panama.
How did this happen? Well, we humans did it. We dramatically affected the coyote's population and range.
It started when settlers moved westward, clearing land and bringing in vulnerable small livestock. Coyotes, once called "dogs of the prairie," liked the newly opened-up habitat. It was just more of what they were used to. Plus, humans brought their trash dumps and other waste, which provided a reliable source of food for the scavenging coyote.
For, you see, the coyote is an opportunist. It takes advantage of a variety of food sources. Carrion has always been on its menu. And the leavings of other, bigger predators were readily available to a wily opportunist.
Coyotes are rather small, wiry canids weighing only about 20 to 40 pounds. This means to the much bigger Mountain Lions and Gray Wolves, the smaller Coyotes and their pups were prey items. But we humans helped out the coyotes, unwittingly. We nearly wiped out the dreaded wolves and made a serious dent in the Mountain Lion population. We were afraid for our lives against these two top predators. So we killed the big cats and the fearsome wolves as fast as we could.
We had to protect our lives, our children and our livelihoods, right? Certainly, that was the prevailing wisdom of the times. Unfortunately, in our ignorance of the delicate balance of nature, we actually made things better for the coyote.
Coyotes were no longer under tremendous predation pressure. They had a steady food supply (garbage and chickens, etc.). And they had more and more of the open habitat they liked. They would surely thrive under these conditions.
Thrive they did. They took full advantage of every windfall. With plenty of food, the female coyotes had larger litters. If food is scarce, litter size is only one to two pups. But a well-fed female may have a litter of 10 pups!
Coyotes also have a versatile set of behaviors. Some biologists even propose that they "think about things." This obvious intelligence allows them to choose their actions. They are wary of humans, understandably, but they seem to be able to make use of our foibles. If we leave our chickens unprotected or put cat food outside at night, coyotes will notice. They "think about it" and take whatever they can get away with. If it is too risky, they will stay away.
This has allowed coyotes to exist almost everywhere. From desert to prairie, from parks to suburbs, there are coyotes. We folks in rural South Texas know they are out there. We hear their wonderful "night music," a howling chorus of yips and yelps, and feel a thrill or perhaps a chill. I have to admit I like the sound of coyotes howling.
The name coyote comes from the Nahuatl word "coyotl." It means "singing dog." The Aztecs must have listened to coyotes howling and liked the sound. They even had a couple of gods with coyote characteristics.
The Lakota people of the northern plains took a different view of the coyote. Their name for him was "Mica," the trickster. They were well aware of his cunning ways and adaptability.
The modern name is pronounced several ways. Some say "ky-OH-tee." Others pronounce it "KY-oat." In South Texas, many people use the Spanish pronunciation, "koy-OH-teh."
Coyotes are smart enough to stay out of sight most of the time. They can live right next to us, and we never would know it. Once in a while, though, I see a coyote. Twice I have seen half-grown pups. There must be a den on our property in the denser brush. I hope to find the den one of these days.
However, I often see coyote "signs." Footprints in the soft dust or mud are common. But the most common sign is a pile of scat on the trails.
The scat of many animals is identifiable as to species. Coyote scat is often left in the middle of open dirt roads. It is medium-sized and typically has a little "tail" at the end. It frequently tells exactly what the animal has eaten: seeds of fruit or hair of small mammals. In late summer, coyotes gorge on the ripe fruit of Texas Persimmon. Scat consisting totally of persimmon seeds is common then.
I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I gather up these piles of coyote scat. The persimmon seeds are free of the sticky fruit pulp and ready for planting. Native plants are popular in the landscaping business. So who's wily now, me or the coyote?
